Weltzenstein, Eliza Weltzen stein, Hermann Frick, and Madeleine Jourdan, was re sumed this morning. The prisoners were indicted for conspiring together to obtain £3OO from Joseph Stohwasser, a foreigner, carrying on business in Conduit-street, Regent-street. There was also another indictment against the prisoners, in which they were charged with conspiring to impede the course of justice, by giving false evidence in the Court of Queen's Bench, in which Stshwasser was defendant. The case will not conclude until a very late hour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. Henry Painter, a young man aged about 25, lately a valet to Colonel Somerset, M.P. for Monmouth, was charged with the robbery of a purse, a gold pencil-case, a silver watch, and other articles, his property. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was to have been defended by Mr. Ribton, but in that gen tleman's absonce Mr. Sharp took up the brief. The first witness called was Colonel Somerset, who said—l am M.P. for Monmouth. The prisoner was my valet, and had been so for some years. I recollect that in October last year, previous to going to Gibraltar, I sent the prisoner up stairs to fetch my pulse and gold pencil-case; he said he could not find it. I went to Gibraltar the next day, and desired the housekeeper, in the event of the purse being found, to forward it to me at Gibraltar. I never saw the purse or pencil-case until it was shown to me by the police after my return to England. I have a country house near Windsor. I never gave the prisoner the articles. I know the purse was safe on the mantel-piece a quarter of an hour before I sent the prisoner up for it. The purse now placed in my hands is the one I lost. After Mr. Sharp had put a few questions to the witness, in cross-examination, Mr. Ribton entered the court, and on taking his seat near Mr. Lewis, who was conducting the prosecution, entered into a rather animated conversation with him, at the termination of which he rose from his seat and addressing the court said,—My Lord, a very great in justice has been done to the prisoner. In the absence of myself as his counsel the case has been hastily called, and although my learned friend Mr. Sharp has taken charge of the brief I protest against the injustice of the proceeding. The Common Sergeant—l cannot permit 'such observa tions while I sit on the bench. What do you protest against ? Mr. Ribton—l protest against the injustice that is being perpetrated. The Common Sergeant—No injustice is being perpe trated, and unless you remain silent you had better leave the court. Mr. Ribton—l shall do nothing of the sort. The Common Sergeant—What is your application ; have not yet heard you make any. Mr. Ribton—l wish for a postponement of the trial. It has been fixed in the counsel's abseace, which is very un usual. The Common Sergeant—l cannot now postpone the trial, and you know that very well. No prisoner has a right to elect when he will be tried, and there is nothing out of order in the case. Prisoners are committed to these ses sions for trial, and each one ought to expect that his will be the first mite disposed of. I again say no prisoner has a right to fix the time of his trial. Mr. Ribton—l say, respectfully, can• — The Common Sergeant—You say nothing respectfully, Mr. Ribton—That may be your opinion. The Common Sergeant—The case shall go on. Mr. Ribton—Then I shall retire from the case, and re turn the fee to the prisoner, and my ;advice to him is, don't eay anything. The Common Sergeant—l wish you would be quiet or leave the court. You have retired from the cause, and you have no right to impede the business of the court. The case must proceed. Mrs. Somerset, the wife of the last witness, identified the watch as her property. The crest in it had been partly obliterated, but it was still very plain. Police-constable, 256 V, arrested the prisoner and found on his person the watch, purse, pencil-case, and other things which had been identified by Col. Somerset as his property. The Common Sergeant informed the prisoner that was the case against him, and having summed up the evidence, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. Lewis said a depositor's book in a savings bank was found, in which the prisoner had £BO standing in his name. The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor about two years, during which small sums of money and articles of clothing had been missed. The prosecutor com plained of the constant thefts that were taking place, and prisoner advised Col. Somerset to be very careful, as he (pri soner) thought there were dishonest servants in the house. Several servants had been dismissed on his surmises, and there was reason now to believe that they were perfectly honest. Another circumstance which greatly aggravated the robbery was that, on the voyage from Gibraltar to Lon don, 001. Soutereok irmA a travailing bag into his possession, telling him to take great care of it, as it contained valuables to the amount of CO. On his arrival in England the pri soner declared the hag had been stolen, as it could pot be found, and there was every reason to believe that he was the thief. The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said it was a most aggravated case of robbing. The prisoner had not only been the cause of others being suspected of dishonesty; but he (the learned Judge) had been informed that he had contrived to introduce his wife into the service of Col. Somerset as a single woman, and had induced her, no doubt, from other circumstances that had come to his knowledge, also to commit robbery. The prisoner was then sentenced to six years' penal servitude. After another short trial had been disposed of, Mr. Ribton said—lt would perhaps be more respectful to the Court if I explained, that it was of the prosecution that I so loudly complained, and not of the course taken by your lordship. I think it respectful to inform your lordship that it is my intention to refer the matter to the Secretary of Stato for the Home Department, as the man was vir tually undefended. The Common Sergeant—You can do whatever you please. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.--11altdOW hay, £3 Oa to £5 N Od ; clover, £4 Os to £6 Os Od ; and straw, XI Tt to £1 14s per load.

The English bill con tains a new requirement, that every person shall state *hat is his religious profession. Objection has been taken to this in some quarters, and it is said that many persons will find it difficult to range themselves. The Irish bill avoids bring ing the point before Parliament by directing generally that an account shall be taken of all such particulars as the Secretary for Ireland shall indicate. The council of the Statistical Society recommend that it be left optional whether an answer shall be given to the inquiry respecting religious profession, and they also suggest that some particulars be collected of the character (as well as the number) of the dwellings of the population, and that an effort be made to institute a decennial return of some kind of agricultural statistics, and to collect information respecting the income of charitable and beneficent societies and institutions, such as exist in nearly every parish and in connection with every place of worship. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and !ills. — Domestic Remedies.—There are two periods especially in woman's life, which require, for safe passage, judgment and attention. Irregularity is apt at those critical times to take place and to lay the foundation of future disease. Holloway's: Ointment well rubbed over the defective organs will soon restore them to the full performance of their natural functions, and completely relieve the system of these first seeds of disease. The Pills, safe in action, and effective in result, should be likewise taken, as they contribute materially to the ointment's efficiency. The proper use of these domestic remedies prevents nervous ness, hy!teria,orysipelas, dropsy, and a host of similar and often serious disorders. By expe ll ing all impurities they maintain a clear silky complexion. SPORTING;INTELLIGENCE. TITTERSALL'S—(YEsTERw.T.)

Red, with the worst station, took the lead, followed by Orange, who passed them at Simmond's ; but in the next 60 yards they were all level again. Blue then showed ahead ; but Red again led, Blue second, Orange last for 100 yards, till Orange drew level with Blue at the point, and a fine race ensued to near the Crab Tree, when Orange took the second place. At Hammersmith Red led by three lengths; but all the way to Barnes the rowing in the Orange boat was so good and effective that inch by inch they neared Red, who won by barely more than half a clear length. Orange were three lengths ahead of Blue, and White, who rowed very pluckily all the way, were considerably astern.

Chief for the Companionship of the Bath ; and, if so, why this honour had not been conferred ; and whether there would be any objection to their names being recorded in the Cazette ? Mr. S. HERBERT said that there was no disposition on the part of Government to delay conferring the honour al luded to, but circumstances had arisen that prevented the Government from carrying out the object to which the hon. baronet referred. BER. MI PE HIA L PA RLIATEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS---(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo!sack it five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Great Southern of India Railway and the Menthes ter Water Bills wore road a second time. The Royal Naval School, the Lincoln Ileath and Market Deeping Roads, Andover and Redbridge Railway, West Somerset, and the Midland Railway (use of to and near London), bills were read a third time and passed. CONSOLIDATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAW, The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had the ho - our of laying on the table the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the seven bills that had been intro. duced for the consolidation of the criminal law. He was happy to say that the committee had not only been attended by the law lords, but by reverend and lay lords, who had afforded the most im portant information, and gave a favourable opihion of the whole of the bills, and he hoped they were now in a condi tion to be laid befOre this and the othe - 2 house of Pailiament. He should move that the bills be procz:ed.A. with. on Thursday. SAVOY. Earl GRANVILLE said, seeing the noble marquis in his place, who had a motion on the paper for that evening for papers relating to Savoy, that it would be impossible for the Government at present to produce the papers; he thought, therefore, the noble marquis might think it desir able to postpone his motion. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said under these cir cumstances he should postpone his motion. SUNDAY TRADING. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions against Sunday trading. CHURCH RATES. Petitions against the abolition of church rates were pre sented by the Bishops of London, Oxford, and Chichester. HORSE RACING BILL. Lord REDESDALE said he had some time ago intro duced a bill to prevent horses racing with:ridiculously light weights, and he had hoped that it would not be ne cessary to proceed with it; but as the Jockey Club had taken the matter under its consideration, he would therefore postpone proceeding with it on the day he originally intended—namely, the 15th May, in order that he might become acquainted with the views the Jockey Club took of the bill. AGRICULTURE_ IN INDIA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, in the absence of certain necessary information, he should postpone until a future day the motion he had on the paper for certain de spatches on the subject. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH regretted that the noble marquis had been compelled to adopt that course, be cause India was at that moment in a most dangerous con dition. It was suffering from an agricultural insurrection, and it was of the utmost importance that the causes of the disturbances should be inquired into. SUNDAY TRADING On tho motion fur going into committee on this bill, Lord TEYNITAAI appealed to the noble and learntd lord to postpone further proceeding- with this bill for the present. Lord CHELMSFORD said it was only proposed that the bill should be committed pro forma that evening. The bill was accordingly committed pro forma, and or dered to be re-committed on Thursday next.

Mr. CARDWELL said that the billyould be introduced into the other house. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the hon. member for Dun dalk, when he intended proceeding with the bill respecting Roman Catholic charities, upon which the Secretary of State for the Home Department had informed the house that the hon. member had been in communication with the Government ? Mr. BOWYER said there had been no delay en his part in bringing on this bill, but the measure had been retarded in consequence of the difficulties that arose from the diffe rence between Roman Catholic and other churches. The bill had been placed in the hands of an eminent convey ancer, and he was in communication with the Attorney - General on the subject of the measure. He was quite prepared to go on with the bill in committee. COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE PORTE. Mr. lIADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether (under 14th protocol, page 59, of conferences of the plenipotentiaries of Paris, 1856, relative to the treaty of peace),there had been a revision of the stipu lations which regulate the commercial relations of the Porte with other Powers, or in the position of foreigners resident in Turkey; and whether (agreeably to the recorded wish of the plenipotentiaries) a delibera tion had yet been opened at Constantinople, since the conclusion of peace, between the Porte and the representatives of other powers, with the view of attaining the twofold object in such a manner as to afford entire sa tisfaction to all legitimate interests; and, if there had been no such revision and deliberation, whether this country, in its commercial relations with the Porte, ranks with the most favoured nations (with Russia especially), in all commercial transactions, the residence of British subjeCts in Turkey, fiscal and other duties ; and whether any beneficial or other change had taken place since the commencement of the war with Russia, or was intended; and were negotiations in progress to facilitate the commerce of this country with Turkey ? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to answer the ques tion in the negative. Mr. CRUM-EWING asked the President of the Board of Trade if he intended to bring in a bill on the subject of trade marks, and false markings of measurements, and if so when ? Mr. M. GIBSON said that a bill on the subject had been prepared, but there was a bill before a committee which contained a clause relating to this subject, and, Gonse quently, the bill was postponed. TROOPS FOR CHINA. In reply to an HON. MEMBER, Mr. S. HERBERT said that there were 14,000 troops despatched to China. LAW OF RATING. Sir W. MILES asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department vhen he proposed to bring in the bill for the amendment of the law of rating, which he had stated h• had prepared ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that there was no doubt the pre sent system of rating was incorrect, but in the present state of public business the Government were not prepared to go on with the bill this session.. MR. WALTER AND MR. HORSMAN. PERSONAL EXPLANATION. Mr. WALTER said,—Sir, I rise to move the adjourn • ment of the hous e f or th e pur p ose o f ma ki ng a p ersona l ex planation. lam extremely reluctant to trouble the house upon a personal matter, but I conceive that it has a right to be informed of any circumstance affecting the position and independence of ono of its members, and, as I have reason to complain of an attempt which has been made by the right hon. member for Stroud to place me in a false po sition as a member of this house, and to impair my freedom of speech, I venture to ask its indulgence for a few moments while I state the nature of my complaint, and I feel confi dent that, when it has heard my statement, it will be of opi nion that no other course was left open to me than that which I have pursued. Sir, on Monday evening last I ven tured to address the house in the debate on the Reform Bill, and on the following Wednesday I received from the right hon. member for Stroud the following letter, which, as it contains the reasons for an attack which the hon. member intended to make upon me in this house, though cirouT atances prevented him from fulfilling that intention, I will take the liberty of reading to the house. I was the more surprised at this letter, because, up to the moment whir I received it, I bad no reason to suppose that my relaV ion
