The accounts from the various manufacturing districts of the North of England are of a rather unsatisfactory character, the aspect of political Fairs on the Continent having interfered in a great measure with the export trade. At Leeds the transactions in woollen cloths have been l imi ted, and a quiet tone has prevailed in most branches of business ; manufacturers, however, conti nue well employed upon goods suitable to the spring and summer demand, and prices _in. all instanc es are we ll su pp or t e d. Th ere i s little alteration to report in the worsted trade at Bradford, StOcks generally are light, and prices contin ue firm. Piece goods are in fair demand, more particularly the lighter fabrics. The slight lm proveme n t l ately reported at Manchester has ndifullY maintained, and goods adapted to the t and China markets have shown an unproved tendency. A fair amount of busi nes° has been transacted in the hosiery trade °f Leicester, the principal demand having been for p l ain usef u l d escriptions. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues slowly but steadily to im prove, and at Birmingham some impetus has been give n to the button trade. At Sheffield there has De en rath er more activity, and the demand for the ho me trad e h as b een rather brisk. Some consider able orders for the United States have also been Riven out. Business at Wolverhampton continues quiet, but most of the operatives are fairly em ployed. v.ided d uring A larg e aggregate amount w i ll have to be pro the next fortnight, principally on acc ount of the Chilian and Turkish loans, which 1:11ay temporarily stimulate the demand for money, but at present there is a superabundance of capital, and some of the discount firms have recently nego elated first class bills at 11 per cent. This at once el Plains the falling off exhibited last week in the ether securities of the Bank of England, and if the Movement, Bd., continue, the directors may ulti- Mutely decide upon lowering the minimum to 2 Per cent., in order to obtain a share of the bills br ought into the market. The instalment due to- In ftrew on the Chilian Loan is £155,000, and the anal subscription to the Turkish Loan on the 28th anlounts to £BOO,OOO. In the Li verpool cotton market on Saturday bu siness was rather active, and p r i ces ex hibited an u pward tenden c y. Th e sales amounted to 15,000 bales. The railway share market was rather dull, an d quotations slightly declined. About £32 ,000 in gold was taken into the Bank °f England on Saturday. 0 a the P ar i s Bourse, on Saturday, an improve- C en t of about 4 per cent, took place in the 3 per : n ts., Rentes having closed at 68.30 for money, a nd 68 .15 for account.

In Morocco the European merchants were loudly complaining of the unfair advantages granted to native traders who, in violation of the treaty lately concluded, are again allowed to im port and export goods on a system of long credit for the enormous duties which Europeans are com pelled to pay in cash.

CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of English Wheat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday, yet the demand for all kinds ruled inactive, at about previous quotations. Fine barley was scarce and in request, at full prices ; but other kinds were a dull sale. All other articles were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. Throughout the Continent the grain trade continues very inactive. In tho United States, however, both wheat and flour have commanded more money. rip to our market last week the arrivals of English grain wore only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,723 quarters of wheat, 3,661 barley, 260 oats, 2,000 rye, 45 beans, 2 peas, 825 tares, 36,030 linseed, 19,152 rape seed, 2,230 sundry seeds, 1,040 sacks, and 173 barrels of flour, Fresh up, to.clay, from Vsselt, "tent, &c., coastwise and by land carriage, the arrivals of wheat were very moderate, and, owing to the damp state of the weather, in poor con tion. The attendance of millers was far from numerous, yet the few dry samples on offer were disposed of at last Monday's currency. All other kinds, however, were very dull, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. Wo were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat, in which millers generally operated with extreme caution. In prices no quotable change took place. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were very dull. We had a good demand for malting barley, at full quota tions. All other kinds, however, were heavy, at late rates. The malt trade was dull, at last week's quotations. The show of oats was rather limited, and most qualities changed hands, at full prices. Beans were in moderate supply and fair request, on former terms. LAW INTELLIGENCE-MLLS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. MR. LESLIE, M.P. AND THE METROPOLPIAN SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY. This was an action brought by Mr. Leslie, M.P., to re cover £4 12s. from defendant for damages sustained as fol lows :—Mrs. Bentinck said she was sifter to the plaintiff, and was in his brougham on the 7tl: December last, about four in the afternoon in Holborn.. There was a stoppage, and the brougham remained stationary for quite three minutes. Very suddenly a'h o felt a succession of three blows on the back panel bf the brougham. Upon getting out she saw defendants driver backing the bus. The driver of this, brougham deposed to the facts, and said that he was fronted by a covered cart. Mr. Vinning, for the defendant, said he had the most complete answer to the case. He called the driver of the omnibus, a city merchant, and thfee more respectable wit nesses, who most positively swore that the brougham backed upon the pole of the omnibus, and caused its own damage. His Honour immediately found for the defendants, with costs. SINGULAR CLAIM FOR WAGES.--BROAD V. TESTER. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, who sought to recover £6125., wages alleged to be due under the following peculiar circumstances :—Plaintiff had been in defendant's service for 25 years, and he alleged that on several occasions defendant had paid him wages short. The last time he did so was in the year 1853, since which time plain tiff had received his wages in full. An account had been rendered to defendant, who had promised to pay on many occasions. The demand for peas ruled steady, at late rates. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at previous quotations. Defendant asserted that this was a trumped-up case, as he had discharged plaintiff, but Mr. Buchanan called another witness, who declared that the men employed by defendant frequently went home without their wages. His Honour remarked the period of the last short pay ment was very remote, and adjourned the case for the pro duction of a witness. CURRENCY I.krt lI%InIttAI. MEASUItE.

SOLICITORS AND AUCTIONEERS.-DIVIDING COMMISSION. SPYERS V. BRIANT AND OTHERS. Plaintiff is a solicitor, and sought to recover from defen dants (auctioneers) a sum of money for his share of the commission obtained by the sale of an estate situate at Anerley. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Charnool, for the defendant. It appeared that plaintiff was a solicitor to a person named Murray, the vendor of the property. Plaintiff, defe•adants, and a Mr. Hay, surveyor to Mr. Murray, agreed to divide certain commissions. This was without the knowledge of Mr. Murray, who, upon being infirro le d o f it, said he supposed the solicitor was h'se all others, and wanted to get all he could. A. sale was held, but through some alleged defect in the title to the property the purchase was not completed. A second sale was held and the property finally disposed of. Between the ,two sales the defendants wrote to plaintiff and told him that having made a different arrangement with Mr. Murray and Mr, Hay, he would not be entitled to any share. Mr. Charnock endeavoured to show that plaintiff had advised his client not to employ defendants, but Mr. Murray proved that although plaintiff had informed him that there were other auctioneers who would 'prove more serviceable to Mr. Murray, yet he eventuall,y advised the employment of defendants. Mr. Murray had paid both plaintiff's and defendants bill. His Honour did not like these arrangements between solicitors and auctioneers behind the 'back of the client. Mr. Charnock contended that there was no consideration. His Honour saw great force in Mr. Charnock's observa tions and arguments. As regarded the arrangements made he thought such an arrangement was fraudulent. The solicitor could not be taking care of his master's interests under such an agreement. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(TiIIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. SMASHING A PUBLICAN'S WINDONcS.—AMI Jones was charged with smashing four panes of glass, the property of Mr. W. Joseph Sanders, publican, of 37, Great St. Andrew street. Mr. Sanders said the female came to his house on Satur day morning and broke pane of glass, came again in the afternoon and broke another, and in the evening another.

Mr. Beadon—Did she ask you for anything on Saturday night ? Mr. Sanders—No, she did not say a word to me, only called me an old —, tore down the shutter, and broke the window. The prisoner said she had been turned out penniless, and she was now sorry she had been to the house, but she would not go again. Mr. Beadon told her she must pay the damage, and if she went there again he should order her to find heavy bail.

There was only a limited supply of foreign stock here to-day, and a good clearance was effected, at full prices. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the receipts of Scots were very moderate for the time of year, and in very middling condition. Although the attendance of butchers was by no means mtfnerous, the beef trade ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday last. A few very superior sorts produced 5s : but the general top figure for beef was 4s 10d per Blbs. From Norfolk, suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 16 oxen. The show of sheep was again rather limited. For all kinds we had a good demand, at, in most instances, an im provement in value of 2d per 81bs, the current value of the best Downs being 5s 4d per 81bs. Shorn sheep were sell ing at 8d per 81bs. beneath those in the wool. The few lambs in the market sold at irregular quotations. Calves were in short supply and fair request, at full prices.

ROBBING A CUSTOM-HOUSE OFFICER.—Dennis Cocklin, James Hurley, and John Bary, three well-known thieves, were brought before Mr. Yardley, the first named charged with stealing a black canvas bag containing a uniform coat, three shirts, looking-glass, brushes, and other articles, the property of a custom-house officer named Frederick Towns end. "'lt appeared from the evidence that on Sunday, the-Oth inst , a young man, named' Callaghan, was employed by the officer Townsend to carry his bag, containing the arti cles above mentioned, from a public-house opposite the London Hospital, in the Whitechapel-road, to the Fen church-street railway station. On the way they were joined by the prisoner Cocklin, a thief named Carty, and others, and they adjourned to a public-house in Whitechapel, where nine or ten pots of beer were drunk at the expense of the prosecutor, who soon lost all recollection of himself, and was taken away by two of the party, leaving Callaghan with the other thieves. Carty demanded the bag of Cal laghan, and on his refusing to deliver it to him a violent assault was made upon him by Cocklin and another. They beat him in a savage manner, and Carty took the bag and its contents from him and ran away with it, leaving Cal laghan bleeding upon the ground. On Saturday night, two police-constables, named Clements, 210, and Dono van, 212 H, took Cocklin into custody at a beer shop in Waterloo-town, Bethnal -green, and they were bringing him away when the prisoners Hurley and Barry attempted to rescue him, and Hurley was ex ceedingly violent. Hurley made a rush at the constables and separated their prisoner Cochlin from them, exclaiming, "Now you are clear, run away." He made his escape, but was retaken, and Hurley continued his violence and struck the constables. All the prisoners were ultimately secured. The prisoner Cochlin made a determined resistance, and a great number of B ethnal-green ruffians and Whitechapel thieves attempted to drag him from the officers. Barry, it appears, was not aware that Cochiin was in custody when he interfered. Hurley had been a thief and burglar for years, and was connected with a desperate gang. Mr. Yardley remanded Cocklin on the charge of robbery until Thursday, committed Hurley to prison for one month for the attempted rescue, and discharged Barry. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Z 4 W INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 12. COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Campbell and a Special Jury.) [A portion of the following appeared in our impression of Saturday LIEUTENANT-COLONEL DICKSON V. THE EARL OF WILTON-LIBEL. The trial of this case was resumed at the sittin g of the Court to-day. Major Walker was recalled, and having answered several questions, Captain Powley, adjutant of the Tower Hamlets Militia, was next examined with respect to to the expenditure of the funds of the regiment, and was subjected to a very severe cross-examination by Mr. Hawkins on the part of Colonel Dickson. Although he was adjutant of the regiment he could not tell whether Drummond left the regiment in dis grace. On the 21st of July he summoned Ser geants Manley and Holdham into the adjutant's room, but it was merely to sign a certificate. Colonel Dickson had made reports against his conduct, but he did so tn.- known to him. In answer to further questior,s, he said I did not know I had been reported to (7,01. North. I learnt I had afterwards been reported as aarly as July, 1855. He (Colonel Dickson) threw do era Colonel North's letter on the charges against me, but I never read it. Re -examined—I never knew I 'ems reported to the Earl of Wilton until the year 1848. With respect to the ex pression about the 'little tiird,' whi c h occurre d i n one o f my letters, it arose in co'asequene of the proceedings against ' Captain Dixon I obtained.. three e or four certificates from other officers, as to their leaving heard Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson men.tionth him e subject about 'th e littl e bi r d' th a t t o ld everything, a'Ad also that he had a way of his own of getting rid of oltcers. I obtained the certificates in conse quence of dirertie , ns I rec e i ve d from the Earl of Wilton. Captain rdon—l received a commission in the Tower Hamlets 11 4Patia in 1853. During the embodiment I acted as presi:dev at of the mess. I was succeeded by Captain BranA I requested Colonel Dickson, through Major Wal ker, to hold a mess meeting. I did so several times. About a !er'atight before the regiment was disembodied it was stationed London. I think it was during that time I made the request I allude to. In. January, 1857, I met Col. Dickson in the Haymarket. 4:He stopped me and insulted me Most grossly. He said I had never given in my accounts. He also said for my conduct in the mess .he would report me to Lord Wilton and Lord Panmure, the Horse Guards and Lord Combermere, and also that he would bring my conduct befcre the Junior United Ser vice Club, of which I am a member. I told him also to tell Lord Wilton that I had received " dunning " letters, written at his instance. He went on in a very rabid—(laughter)--way. I raised my hat and left him. We had had differences at Woolwich. I considered his conduct tyrannical and oppressive. I got , a letter on the sth of May, 1857, from Col. Dickson. I enclosed a copy of that letter to the Earl of Wilton. I again saw Col. Dickson, two or three days afterwards, in Regent-street. He asked me if I had received his letter. I said yes, sir, and have replied to it. He began again to talk, and I left him. I had requested a board of inquiry to inquire into the charges made against me. I was exonerated. I applied to Lord Wilton for a copy of the report, but I only received an extract ; that part by which I was acquitted. In the autumn of 1857, and beginning of 1858, I wrote to Lord Wilton touching that report. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l live at 12, Regent street, I am not following any profession. When I left the regiment I was in arrears with the mess, but I paid my account in June. I had a balance in hand, but I did not pay it over for some time, because there had not been a pro per mess meeting. Colonel Dickson complained that I brought strangers to the mess. I was arrested once, but it was done illegally. Re-examined—l have heard Colonel Dickson say that he had a little bird that told him all that went on in the regiment. He repeatedly told me so. I have heard him say he had a way of getting rid of an officer without a court-martial. By Mr. Hawkins—l cannot give one single date when the little bird was mentioned. I cannot tell the date, the place, or whether there was any person present at the time. I recollect on one occasion told me that if I slept out of the barracks he should know of it. This was the night before the naval review at Spithead. I know an officer named Lee. I don't know whether he left the regiment in consequence of striking an officer. I know ho resigned. Captain Branch—l succeeded Captain Dixon as president of the mess meeting in January. There was no mess meet ing while I held that office. I gave evidence before the regimental board in 1857. I was directed by Colonel Dickson to apply to Captain Dixon for his account. I did so more than once. I told Colonel Dickson what Captain Dixon said about his accounts. I told Col. Dickson that Capt. Dixon did not consider him an authorised person to receive his balance and receipts. Col. Dickson. was very angry, and he said he would have Capt. Dixon's name struck out of the regiment. He said, after that, he should report him to Lord Wilton, Viscount Combermere, and Col. Pipon. On one occasion Col. Dickson asked me to sign a cheque for the wine merchant's account. He said the wine merchant's account must be paid, and that he .somft-day would rather decline. He then told me he should report me to Lord Wilton. I simplybowed and retired. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. E. James—The cheque for £l5O was drawn, and £lOO was paid to the wine merchant, and £5O to Hodge and Lowman. Colonel Dickson showed me the receipts. There might have been some smaller accounts outstanding in Woolwich. I can't fix the date of the first mess meeting. Wherever it was the accounts were not submitted. Other subjects were discussed. Capt. Wallack—l have been in two regiments of the line before I entered the Tower Hamlets Militia. On the morning of the disembodiment Col. Dickson said to me that he had heard I had expressed an opinion against the way in which he commanded the regiment. I was much sur prised and annoyed. I asked him to give me the name of the person who told him, but he refused, simply saying, "You see, I know all about it." He also gave evidence with respect to some shakoes that had been obtained from Messrs. Isaacs, for which Colonel Dickson had received payment from the Wellington fund, but which the Messrs. Isaacs had not been paid. Paymaster O'Shaughnessy and Quartermaster Davenant were next called, and stated that they had frequently heard Col. Dickson say he had a little bird that told him every thing that occured in the regiment. The latter witness spoke as to the accoutrements lost at the Cremorne fete. Three fireloeks were lost, but ono was afterwards found — the other two were never recovered. If they had been he should have known it. Mr. Davenant, in answer to questions put to him in cross-examination by Mr. Hawkins, said the moment there was an inquiry into the circumstances Col. Dickson said he had paid more than he had received from the Wellington College Fund among the injured soldiers. I cannot say that Col. Dickson ever saw Isaac's bills. I can say that Col. Dickson never had a copy of Isaac's bills. I knew he never said he would call and see whether everything was correct. I had a great deal of correspondence with the Colonel in 1856 and 1857. I wrote to him in 1857 about the money. I have not always been on the best terms with Col. Dickson, but I believe he was always in the wrong. (Laughter.) I have written several letters to Col. Dickson. In one of the letters I expressed my utmost contrition and begged in the most humble manner to be restored to his confidence in consequence of his having reported me for neglect. Notwithstanding, any having written that letter, I believe he was wrong whe n he ported me. (Laughter.) Mr. Chance, the secretary of the Wellington College — I received the requisitions from Col. Dickson on the Ist of September, 1855. Lord Campbell—There is no doubt about the money be. ing received. Mr. Isaacs—l am a partner in the firm of Isaacs and Co., army clothiers. We supplied the Tower Hamlets Militia with accoutrements. We debitted the goods to Mr. Dave nant. We afterwards saw Col. Dickson in 1857. He re quested we would transfer Mr. Davenant's account to his own. He did not make any complaint about the goods not being supplied. I never heard of any such complaint. I saw Col. Dickson several times, but it was not expressly relative to the £2l. I mentioned it to him, but he said he had not sufficient money in hand to meet the demand, and wished us to make some reduction in the amount, or he should have to pay the defficiency from his own pocket. I told him I did not think we could make any re duction. He never questioned the receipt of the goods. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—My brother often saw C o l o nel Dickson at our place of business. The account never was transferred. We applied to Davenau tagain. told Colonel Dickson we objected to transferru gi iDavenant's account to his. Mr. Heather, solicitor to Messrs. Hodge and Lowman said—They have supplied goods to the Tower Hamlet's Militia to the amount of £156, £5O was paid. There was a balance of £lO6. I wrote to Colonel Dickson in May, 1856, for the balance. I received a n o t e from Colonel Dickson objecting to some of the items as too high. The objections did not exceed £2 or M. I said I would write to Messrs. Hodge and Lowman. On the sth of May I did so, but no abatement was made. The Colonel called in January, 1857, and asked for time to pay. He was afterwards informed that his bill for six weeks would be taken. Colonel Dick son said he could not get sufficient money from Lord Wilton and the officers to pay the money. The Colonel paid the bill ten days before it was due. Cross-examined by Mr. James—We looked upon the debt as one belonging to the regiment, and not personally to Col. Dickson. There was, however, a letter written which stated that Col. Dickson would be held personally liable, as he was lieut.-colonel. Tho reason the money was not paid was, he said, because the regiment was suddenly disbanded, and the officers scattered. S erg eant Manley—l was a colour serge ant during the embodiment of the regiment. The sergeants have a sepa rate mess. We never received a subscription towards it or Col. h Northd Coll. , uthough n ha Nye heard from the Earl g Wiltpn £l5 had been subscribed. Wo ear bicksoa re ceived the money. We signed a certificate on the 22d July, 1858, to the effect that we had not received the money. Cross-examined —l don't know who paid for the ser- ..23 . 23 ..29 ..22 ..23 ..10 ..24 ' geants' dinner on the occasion of the presentation of the colours. I never said that Col. Dickson had paid on account of that dinner. I was president of the mess, and if any money had been received I should have been sure to know it. Sergeant Holland—l ordered a supper when the colours were presented. Col. Dickson paid £5 towards that dinner. Col. Dickson told me he had received £ls.for the sergeants' mess, but it never was received. Cross -examined—The mess was not formed when the £l5 was sent.- When it was formed we never applied for the money. I have since heard that the money was given to Captain Cooper. Mendham, one of the soldiers injured at the Cremome fete, said—l was awarded £lO, which I received. I never received a fraction more. The £lO was paid in five instal ments. I never received a cheque for £5. That I can take my solid oath on. (Laughter.) The receipt in acknow ledgment Pii that amount, just put into my hands, is not in aIY handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l can't recollect sign ing a receipt when I received the first instalment of the £lO, or on any other occasion. I always had to apply for the money. I recollect nothing about receipts at all. All I know is I was awarded £lO, and,l got it. I can't recollect any thing about signing receipts at all. I said so before I recollect giving a receipt now in full for £lO. I can't say whether the document now put into my hand is or is not the writing I gave for the £lO. It is worded like it. I don't know whose writing it is. I know I signed the receipt now handed to me. I can't say whether I read the paper before I signed it. Re-examined—l never received any extra money as compensation. Mr. Quilter, the accountant, having been examined, Colonel North was called—He said I am M.P. for the county of Oxford. In 1836 I was appointed Lieut.-Col. of this regiment. I retired in 1855, and was succeeded by Colonel Dickson. The full colonel of a regiment is not one of the officers who is called upon to pay for a bill. He may possibly never see the regiment. He, of cour . se, by his position, could dine at the mess as a matter of light. The commanding officer of a militia regi ment would, as a matter of course, take the command money, supposing the full colonel doesnot come down. The witness then proceeded to state the way in which messes generally were conducted. It was his opinion that the commanding officer seas not the proper person to hold the regimental funds. The commanding officer generally gives notice of mess meetings, and he ought to see that they are held from time to time. It is usual to have a meeting at an interval of a month, and an audit of the accounts once a month. When a regiment is about to be disembodied, it ' is usual to have a mess meeting to see the state of the ac counts. Cheques for large sums are generally signed by the commanding officer. I haVe told Col. Dickson that ho ought to have called mess 'meetings. I don't know whether Lord Wilton ever Went to command the regiment. In May 1857, I received a communication from Lord Wilton. In censequence of that I became acquainted with some charges and complaints that, had been made by Capt. Dixon. I advised Lord Wilton to appoint the three senior officers as a committee to investigate the affair, they giving notice to Col. Dickson of the course that was to be pursued. I fre quently, after the report of this committee had been made, - saw Col. Dickson, and I told him where I thought he was right and where wrong. Lord Combermere, who was next examined, said—l was the proper person to whom complaint should have been made. In January, 1858,, Lord Wilton and I had a con versation about this regiment, and Lord Wilton remarked that he considered Colonel Dickson a good officer in the field, but he did not manage internal affairs well—that there were great irregularities in the regiment. He did not say what they were. Lord Wilton afterwards transmitted to me the report of the board in writing. I received a letter from General Peel on the 10th of May. I had recom mended Col. Dickson to be removed from his commission. I had seen Colonel Dickson, and told him he should have an opportunity of explaining anything. The first charge was for not having paid over the Wellington College money. He entered into a long history about his services, but did not deny having received that money for the college, but he did not tell me how he had disposed of it. He said he had not justice done him, and he had a party against him, and that sort of thing, and he courted investigation - all ho wanted was justice. I told him he should 'have justice done him. I saw Colonel Dickson again, and pretty nearly the same passed. I had studied the charges well, and I recom mended Colonel Dickson to resign, as he had not complied with her Majesty's regulations to have all accounts settled. I then wrote to the War Minister recommending Colonel Dickson's removal from the regiment. Cross-examined—l know Lord Wilton. Not so very in timate. I know him. He has dined at my house and been at a party. Lord Wilton said Colonel Dickson was a very good officer, and it was with great reluctance he made any complaint against him. At that time he made no officia report ; he said nothing about making a formal complaint. Papers were afterwards laid before me by Lord Wilton, and I said I could not makehead nor tail of them. Ido not think any one else could. I sent them to Colonel Dickson, and I acted upon them. Not a word was said in the papers about the money of the Wellington College at that time. I recommended the removal of Colonel Dickson. I had inter views with Lord Wilton. Lord Wilton was sued for somo of the bills. It is the duty of the commanding officers to see the bill paid. Ido not know out of what fund. I tried to read the report of the board, but I could not get through it.

The Court was then adjourned to Monday (this day). NATURAL AND ARTIFIC..4L POLITICS (Front the Spectator.) ITALY.—The obviously revolting element in this Napoleonic policy is the affectation on the part of the French Emperor of acting a beneficent Provi dence to Italy. England and most of Europe would heartily approve a determined effort on the part of France. to redeem the false step taken by the Re public in sending troops to Rome ; and to prevent any attempt of Austria's to take advantage of that step. But there is nothing which justly disgusts us more than the attempt to build up a far-reaching speculative system of theoretic policy on the foun dation of one obvious and clearly defined duty ; and this, too, quite apart from the consideration whether the large and theoretic policy is honest or dis honest, sincere or ambitious. We may truly say, that even had Sardinia had the power and the will to initiate the scheme of policy now sketched by, the Emperor, quite alone, and without French aid, it would not have met with general approval ill Europe, simply because it would be a theoretic and speculative scheme, and not one naturally flowing from obvious political duties. The sympathy felt by England with Italy in 1848 was so strong exactly because the course of events was natural — embodying the real issues of popular conviction and feeling. The present crisis is artificial, long and cautiously elaborated—a medicated poli tical draught prepared for Italy by the intellectual " forethought" of the Emperor. As such, even if honest—even if Sardinia were the only agent, we should reject it; and we know that with France it cannot be honest. Let England, then, make her national opinion clearly known and strongly felt, that so far as France has a clear duty t o perform towards any Italian state, so f ar s h e s hall have English sanction and approval in per forming it properly, and in taking guarantees against the risk of Austrian interference. But be yond this we will not go. We will express our hearty abhorrence of the meddling Napoleonic pro pensity to play Providence to European nations. - We will believe that the natural course of society itself is far more trustworthy than any European politician's efforts to realise his own ambitious dreams. MOLDO-IVALLCHIA.—No one can envy Colonel Couza his double character—the Janus of the Danube sitting at Fockshani ; his. Moldavian coun tenance beaming upon Jassy, his Wallachian visage smiling on Bucharest. He may argue that man is made up of duplicates—two brains,tw o ears,two eyes, two arms, two legs; the oneness of his mouth being the appropriate symbol of the two civil lists which unite in his individual exchequer. He will be sure to have enough to do with his two houses, his tvr s o principalities, his two budgets, and that ominous unit, the central commission.
