._~~~ ~timMERCJAL TNTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, made up to the 3d inst., has exhibited a small decline in the amaunt of bullion, a circumstance that has not occurred for nearly four months past. The large amounts now on their way from Australia will, however, soon replace the small deficiency. The other securities have shown a slight increase, con sequent upon the preparations to meet the pay raents of the 3d and 4th of the month ; and in the reserve of notes there is a diminution of over half a million. In the other deposits there is a large falling off, but a slight increise may be noticed in the public deposits. The other items in the balance sheet exhibit no very material alteration, and are in most respects of a satisfactory character. The Various items, and the charges they present, will be seen by the following table :--- Active circulation Increase Total Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public flepoits Increase Other deposits 14,726 081 Decrease seven-day and other bilk Increase Government securities Decrease Other securities I, crease 142.327 I`Zotss unemployed Dscrea-e For some time past the movements in the Basik have been uniform, hut the improvement having now been considerable, an occasional reaction in the principal items must be expecte 1. When business becomes more active, and as a consequence the demand for money has increased, some additions to the other securities and a larger circulation of totes will follow as a matter of course.

ROLLS COURT. (Before Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-,SIDNEY V. IVILMER-FITZOLARZNOD V. DO, -WILMER V. HIINLOKE. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment in this case, said that he had ♦ery little diffi. culty about the construction of the will, but that con struction was unfavourable to the plaintiff. The will was the will of the late Mr. Henry Wilmer, executed by him on 4th July, 1845 ; and, besides the limitations of the estate, he charged his estate with a term of 500 years. The plaintiff, by her bill and supplementary bill, asked for a declaration that she was entitled to the fee of the surplus rents of the estate after the division of the provisions of the trust are performed. His Honour was of opinion that this must be determined entirely upon the construction of the will, and looking to the terms of the provisions in the will, the plaintiff was not entitled to the fee of the surplus rents of the estate. Then with regard to the trust for the term of 500 years—was the plaintiff entitled to take, in face of the provisions and limitations contained in the will. There was a provision for tenants in tail and contingent remainders, and a limitation in favour of the children of his sisters to be born within five and fifteen years. His Honour was of opinion that although there were no children at present, yet, until the expiration of that time, of which five years had to run, the plaintiff had no claim against the trust funds. His Honour made a declaration to that effect, and granted the usual administration decree. Costs of the trustees of the trust fund as between party and party. Costa of the trustees under the will to come out of the trust estate, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE G. SICHRL. To-day was appointed for the further consideration of the certificate of this bankrupt, who was described as of Gresham House, New Broad-street. Mr. Ashur-at appeared to oppose on the part of Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co., on the ground that the bankrupt had (obtained a large quantity of goods of the value of upwards of 1,6001. at a time when he well knew that he was in a hopeless state of insolvency. He (Mr. Ashurst) said that the Messrs. Morrison and Dillon had felt it their duty to oppose the bankrupt on the present occasion, but they were not actuated by the slightest feeling of vindictiveness, and he (Mr. Aehurst) regretted that the grounds on which the suspension arose had not been explained. He then pro ceeded to state the allegations made rgainst the bank rupt. His Honour said the better way would be for him to read the affidavit of Mr. John Dillon and Mr. Slater, as to the manner in which the goods were obtained. His Honour then road the affidavit, and, according to the e►idence of Mr. Slater, it appeared that Messrs. Morrison and Dillon at firbt refused to give credit for such a large amount, but it was ultimately agreed that he should pay 630/. in cash, and he stated that he had been a partner in tho firm of Sichel and Co., of Manchester, and connected with his brother at Melbourne, on whose account he made the purchases. He also stated that he had ample means, and was liquidating the matters of the M anc h ester firm, and that he had the use of the money until the liquidation was completed, but they (Messrs. Morrison and Co.) had been informed that at the time of this tran. eaction he was hopelessly insolvent. Mr. Ashurst proceeded to remark on the ease, when his Honour suggested that the case should be adjourned for some period, say 6 mouths, with protection, to enable the bankrupt to proceed to Constantinople, and to endeavour to realise the estate. He (his Honour) considered that such a course would be beneficial to the interests of the creditors, and would also be, in all pro bability, advantageous to the bankrupt. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, declined accepting the suggestion, as there was an imputation of fraud on the bankrupt, but which he should be able satisfactorily to rebut. The proteotion of this court would be looked upon as waste paper in a foreign country, and Mr. Sichel was prepared at once to take the judgment of the court, but whatever might be the decision of the court, even if adverse to him, it would not in any way interfere with his anxiety and determination to do the utmost he could for his creditors, but he could not allow himself to remain under an imputa tion of fraud. The learned gentleman then at great length referred to the extensive business which the bankrupt had been connected with, and said that as junior partner of the firm he had undertaken to liquidate the debts of the Manchester firm, and at the time he purchased the goods of Messrs, Morrison and Co,, he fully believed there would be a surplus of 40,0001. of which he would be entitled to one-fifth. The learned gentleman proceeded to answer in detail the voluminous evidence already given, and the case was proceeding, but his Honour intimated that he should take time to consider his judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) BOW-STREET. ROBBIELY BY A SERYANT.—James Groves, a footman, was placed at the bar charged with stealing forty sovereigns and two five-pound Bank of England notes, the property o f L a d y Henderson, of Torrington-square. From the ev id ence of the prosecutrix, it appeared that on the 25th of J anuary last she placed 150 sovere i gns and four five-pound B an k of England notes i n h er cas h box, which she kept i n a drawer in one of her apartments known to the priso ner . A few days ago, finding a larger sum of money missi ng th an WAR expected, she made out a list of expenses th a t h ad been discharge d , an d on comparing the whol e w i t h the money remaining, s h e dis covered a deficiency o f 501 . The money stolen consiste d of 40 sovereigns and two of the five-pound notes. The police were sent for, an d on Inspector Fathers o f t h e E division arriving, sh e re l ated the robbery to h i m, and from certain circumstances he suspected the servants, and the prisoner was given into custody. Immediate!) , afterwards he asked the inspector whether he would allow him to see his mistress ; and on being taken into her presence, he admitted taking the 40 sovereigns, but denied all knowledge of th e notes. The pr i sone r, in answer to the questi ons of Lady Henderson, stated that, knowing where th e money was kept, he tried the keys of the other apartm en t s, and finding one to tit the lock of the door of the private room, he thus got at the money. Another perso n was also placed at the bar, charged with being conce rne d with the prisoner in the robbery. Mr. Henry remanded Groves for a week, but he discharged the o th er prisoner on the undertanding that she should enter into her own recognisances to attend this day week. ii THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLII CHINESE THIESI.—A Chinese cook, who gave the name of George Marshall, who came to England in a British ship two years ago, and has since been alternately a thief and a vagrant, was brought before Mr. Salle, charged with stealing a snit of clothe', a cap, silk handkerchief, woollen comforter, and other property from the ship John Collett, in the East India Dock. It appeared that the prisoner waited en Mr. Jas. Cunard, the steward of the vessel, while he was getting dinner ready, on the previous day, and asked if a ship's cook was wanting. The steward said he would give him an answer in a minute or two, and left the prisoner in the galley while he went to the cabin with the dinner for the captain and officers of the vessel. On been wear i ng gone, and an o h l i d s return oep w t o i i t i c h h e galley, a t l h l e e y , t p h r e i s o p o r i e s r o n er had l e a s was upon deck.

He was sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Police Sergeant Walker, in charge of the police van, said the prisoner had passed through his hands four or five times, and came out of prison on Thursday morning. The prisoner, through an interpreter, said he never stole anything. Mr. Selfe—The case is clear, and I sentence him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. RELEASE OF MR. BATES.— . A paragraph hag lately appeared in the pubho journals erroneously stating that Mr. Bates, the ex•b 4nker, has been released from F aison. We are authorised to mention tbat Mr. Bates will not be set at liberty until October next.— Civil Scaice On;ettc. AMERICA. --- We extract the fllowincr from our advices from New York, dated the 18th ult., brought by the City of Baltimore : In the United States Senate Mr. Houston's resolution, directing an inquiry into the expediency of establishing a protectorate over Mexico and the Central American states, had been discussed, and was laid on the table. Senator Hale, in a spirit of ridicule, had moved the following amendment— " Whereas a state of colonial dependenc e is not cal culated to illustrate the theory and practice of popular sovereignty and perfect freedom, therefore, the committee on foreign relations are also in structed to inquire with regard to Canada, and other British possessions on the American con tinent." The bill for the increase of the army had been further debated in the Sena'e. The .New York Herald says of the measure : " It cannot pass, but it is probable that an icerease of the military force, limited to two years, to meet existing exigencies, will be agreed to by the majority." An extensive fire had occurred on the premises in New York occupied by Messrs. Winclle and Co., importers of house furnishing articles, and Charles khrenfeldt, importer of toys and Getman goods. The total loss was estimated at about 200,000 dols. Destructive conflagrations had also occurred at Boston, Elmira, and St. Cherine's, Canada West. It was reported at Washington that as soon as one or two of the questions pressing upon the at tentio❑ of the Government were disposed of, the relations with Spain and the numerous claims of American citizsns upon the Spanish Government would be taken up by Mr. Buchanan, and pressed to an immediate settlement. Commodore Jones was lying dangerously ill. A Washington telegram says— " The majority of the Senate's committee on territories have completed an elaborate report. The bill which ac companies it is similar to those heretofore presented on such occasions, and admits Kansas into the Union under the Lecompton constitution." The weather in New York had become intensely cold, the thermometer falling to within 7 degrees of zero. SP O.RTINGI INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-FRIDAY. The postponement of the Liverpool events, and the unsettled state of the weather, seems to have brought betting upon future events quite to a standstill for not a wager (excepting a few trifling bets at 2 to 1 against the Steeplechase being run this week, came under our notice. The weather here at midday was very fine, and, there being few clouds, the sun had great power, but in parts where its rays could not touch, there was little sign of a thaw. Fears are entertained that should the Steeplechase be run to-morrow (Saturday), few horses will go to the post, and the short notice that the stewards can give of it coming off will leave people too long in suspense to ensure anything like a good attendance.

That a communication be addressed to the Corporation of London, and also to the City Commission of Sewers, enclosing the opinion of the board, and reqaestirg that they will take the subject into their consideration."

ALTERATION OF THE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS HOUSE.— The magistrates of the county have at length adopted measures for accomplishing an object which has for many years been in contemplation, viz., improvements in the Sessions-House, not only for the better accommodation of the public, but in the arrangement of the offices wherein the county business, which is far more consider able than might be supposed, is carried on, particu!erly those of the Clerk of the Peace and the County Trea surer The " sanctum " of the latter may be comparad to a vault, of which the Clerk of the Peace-office forms an upper story. Arrangements have been made with the City authorities, in whom the site of the new street at the rear of the Sessions-House is vested, and also with the local vestry, for an extension of the boundary of the county property, with the view o f enlarging .the building, and plans are in course of preparation, which, when carried out, will provide efficient offices for the transaction of the ordinary business of the county, and good and con-renient courts with proper accommodati on for the public, jurors , and counsel, the want of which has been so long and so justly complained ef, and remove, it is hoped, those obstacles which, through the peculiar construction o f the i nter ior of the building have hitherto baffled all attempts to ventilate it as it should be. During yesterday and the previous day upwards of 200 . recru its arrived at Chatham from the various recruiting districts for the purpose of joining the East India depot 4 at that garrison, BITENSIOIc OF TILE FRANCHISE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—ln your paper of yesterday you say " extension of the suffrage with ou t th e b a ll o t i s b u t th e extension of 'serfdom.' " I fear this is too true. Your ebservations on Sir H. Dryden's speech in South Northamptonshire induce me to state a few facts con nected with that electoral district, which I think prove your position to be correct, and show why the Tories of the present day are advocating what is called "Reform in the Representation of the People." In the year 1831 the representation of the county of Northampton was contested by Lord Althorp and Lord Milton as Liberals, and Mr. Cartwright, the father of the lately elected re presentative of the southern division of that county, and Sir Charles rnightley, the father of its other member. On that contest the fate of the Reform Bill was con sidered to hang. The electors of Northamptonshire did their duty nobly. In an extensive and numerously populated parish, now included in the said southern division, there was but one voter at that time, and he voted for Lords Althorp and Milton. The Reform Bill conferred the franchise (as now appears by the register of voters) upon upwards of seventy of the owners and occupiers of property in that parish. Although there is not any extensive land owners resident in the parish, great influence is exerted by gentlemen who reside in its immediate neighbour - hood. Mark the working under these circumstances of an extension of the suffrage. At the first contested elec tion after the passing of the Reform Bill that parish eent, I believe, one voter (a working shoemaker) to poll for the Liberal candidate ; the remainder (Whigs, Ter,e , , Liberal, Radicals, Churchmen, Wesleyans, and Dissen ters)—there were some of all these classes amongst thew,—voted for the Tories who were of the Dryden school. After the close of the poll this poor shoemaker went home and found his house all but a wreck. The Tory reward for independence. He had no redress. At the contest in 1847, when Lord Henley was a candidate, some five or six of these voters were induced to vote for him—the remainder " sticking to their colours and voting blue," as it is termed by them. _ - In 1857, some 14 or 15 of these men were induced under very peculiar eircumetances to vote for Lord Althorp, and about 50 of them voted for the " blue can didate," one gentleman marching them to the poll, and afterwards paying for the dinner and other refresh ments supplied to his troop. In the late contest I have been informed that the voters for Lord Henley, from this parish, dwindled down to sor 6. Ido not pledge myself as to the exact num ber of votes recorded at the above-mentioned contest, after the passing of the Reform Bill, as lam writing from memory only; but the general correctness of the above statement, lam able and willing to prove. Let reformers, who fancy everything is to be gained to their cause by an extension of the suffrage, as the late Mr. Hume did, consider these facts. If they will make inquiries, I fear they will findmany more such cases. It shluld be kilown that the Sir H. Dryden you refer to is the gentleman wbo. upon the hustings in South Northamptonshire, in 1847, told tho electors that thelcattle murrain waqsent as a judgment upon the coun try for its political offences—meaning the preference for a liberal to a tory government. A SOUTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTOR. London, March 5, 1858. CONFERENCE OF ITALIAN DELEGATES. The conference met at eleven yesterday morning ; Signor Borromeo, the president, in the chair. Letters from almost every part of Italy were read by the secretary of the conference, Signor Correnti, congratu lating the delegates on the firmness they exhibited in supporting the movement of so much importance to the welfare of Italy. Also various letters from gentlemen tendering their support to a movement which eventually might promise to become a reality, the most important of which were from several members of Parliament and two peers of England, offering to support any movement which, carried on by peaceful agitation, might tend to advance the interests of the various states of Italy, in securing for them a constitutional form of government. The PRESIDENT congratulated the delegates on the inauguration of a movement which promisee for Italy the realisation of its brightest hopes. He had felt assured, when consulted by his friends from Italy, the very fact of the opinions of the true patriots of his country being uttered in a land that invariably showed itself the true supporters of liberty, that it would be im possible to utter such sentiments as had been enunciated at the conference ever since it had been held, without drawing forth the expressions of kind esteem and senti ment that had met them on every side. The conference meeting in London had established its principles through the medium of a press ever willing to support the cause of truth and justice, especially when it was founded on what was considered a practical basis. Il Cavaliers CASTINR moved : - " That the friends of constitutional government in England and in the other countries of the continent of Europe, be at once invited to co-operate with the National Italian League." Signor FARINI offered some observations on the above resolution, and it was subsequently carried. Signor LITTA, before he read the address which the committee were delegated to draw up the various Courts of Europe, desired to offer thereon an observation or two. It was natural, in the first instance, that the address submitted to them should undergo many alters• tions, but it had been founded on the principles he had, in concert with his colleagues on the committee, adopted as the solemn pledges of the conference they were sent to support. In the next instance, many might imagine the grounds taken were not sufficiently general ; and others, that the exposition of their claims was urged in language of too strong a nature. If such were the case, he and hie colleagues had agreed to submit without a murmur to the decision of the general conference, feeling assured the only prospect of their country's regeneration lay in their unity. (Cheers.) Signor LITTA then read the address, which was of considerable length, but which we refrain from giving to our readers, owing to numerous alterations suggested by several of the delegates. The discussion respecting it lasted till past eight o'clock, when the conference ad journed. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) COVENT GARDEN.

NORTH WILTS. DEVIZES, FRIDAY. The re-election of Mr. Sstheron Estcourt, the bow President of the Poor Law Board, took place in the Corn Exchange, Devizes, this morning. The right hen. g en tl eman was proposed by G. H. W. Heneage, Esq. (late member for Devizes), and seconded , by Wm. Colborne, Esq., of Chippenham ; and there being no opposition to his return, was declared duly elected. Mr. EsvcouaT said 30 years bad elapsed since be first entered the walls of Parliament, and his course of conduct during that period had shown that he bad no ambition or appetite for office. On Wedn es d ay i n last • week, however, he received a visit from an old friend, a member of the House of Commons, who was well kno ve to be in the confidence of Lord Denby, who said he had come to him (Mr. Estcourt) with a message from big • lordship, t o a sk him to accept the office of President of the Poor-law Board. The reply which be (Mr. Estcourt) made was, "My dear old friend—it is out of the ques tion ; it is out of my line ; Ido not wish for it, and there are others who will do it quite as well, and who would be gratified and pleased by it." Some further conversation took place, but the result was . his (Mr. Estcourt's) accep t ance o f th e o ffi ce . The right honourable gentleman then proceeded to Fay that most of them bad, be supposed, read the eloquent and magnificent speech which was made in the House of Lords on Monday last by Lird Derby, is which his lord ship explained the course which he intended to purses ; and without troubling them by going over the same ground, he (Mr. Estcourt) would only say that he felt proud and glad to have enlisted himself under such a leader. The change of government which had taken. place was not a change which bad be en brought abutby a hostile collision of parties ; the l a t e G overnment had gone out by their own inherent weakness, because they had of late appeared to the country deficient in that energy and that straightforwardness which they had taken credit for twelve months ago. After a few remarks upon the two bills which have peculiarly marked the last session of Parliament—namely, the Conspiracy , Bill and the India Bill—Mr. Estcourt made a few re marks upon the subject of church rates. He said his only object in wishing to see any alteration in the pre. sent system was to get rid of the scandal which it caused; but his opinion was, that in parishes where the majoiity were against a rate being granted, those who were adverse to it should be compelled to fill up a return, stating to what religious denomination he wished to contribute the amount to which the property he occupied was liable. By doing this, no man could say that kis conscience was violated. To the 'ballot Mr. Estdourt ' expressed himself as decidedly opposed, as well as' to any organic changes in the constitution, although he was desirous to improve the existing institutions of the country. Very few persons were present. COCKERMOUTH. The election for this borough took place in the Court Hcuae on Wednesday, when, as we announced yestere day, Lord Naas was re-elected without opposition. ' His LORDSHIP, on coming forward to return thanks, said—The new Administration has come into power under circumstances of a very peculiar nature. The House of Common' came to the decision that the acts which Lord Palmerston had performed were not worthy of the occasion, and that he had made such a mistake es a British Minister ought not to make--a mistake that it was necessary to mark with instant condemnation. Some time ago a fearful crime was attempted to be committed in France. When it was found by the French people that the persons who made this abominable attempt had hatched their scheme in England—and he was sorry to say that more than one Engishenan was implicated in it —it was not to be wondered at that strong sentiments were expressed. Addresses were presented to the Erne peror by colonels of the French army in terms most of: ' feneive to the English people. The Secretary of State for the French Emperor, in a despatch which was published and laid on the table of Parliament, expressed himself in terms which certainly showed great ignorance of the state of things in England, and made statements which were certainly incapable of proof. In that despatch Count Walewski asked if English legislation ought to serve to favour the designs and manoeuvres of political assassins. He (Lord Naas) believed the law of England was strong enough to cope with such dangers, and that on the statute book there would be found a law relating to conspiracies to murder sufficient to deal with Each cases; a law which would be found sufficient to punish such attempts, and if it were not sufficient, he was sure there was no man in England who would object to its being changed. But he believed it would be found that there was a sufficient law, and that ere long it would be put in force. Well, the government received that dis patch. Although he did not believe it was ever intended as an insult to the people of England, or that it was ever thought likely to arouse Lill-feeling, yet he contended that the statements made were at variance with the truth, and demanded from those entrusted with the government of this country an explicit and decided answer. The government received that dispatch on the 25th of last month, and up to last Friday no answer had been sent. They were told that there was a verbal cone■ munication with Count de Persigny, the ambassador of France in this country, but that was Lot the way to an. surer such a dispatch. Those insinuations were neadein. open day, placed on the face of a state paper, and that record ',Wiest for ever. But ou the other hand no counter statement, no contradiction, ne remonstrance passed on the part of England ; and it must have appeared to the great bulk of the persons in this country and of Europe that the English Government were not able; to answer the assertions made in the French despatch. Now, this question was brought before the House of Commons. A resolution vas wo, ei as en ameadmenit to a bill which was before Parliament, called the Con. 'piracy to Murder Bill, but it had very little to do with the bill, and was pointed entirely to the condemnation of the ministry for not answering the despatch. It was introduced by a gentleman with whom the Conservative party had no feelings in common, but it was introduced in a speech of very great ability. The defence of the Government was weak ; they evidently bad none to give, and the Government were defeated by a majority of 19. Now, that being the case, Lord Pal mers t on next day placed his resignation i n the hands of the Queen. Her Majesty immediately sent for Lord Derby, and asked him to form an administratior. He could not but believe that a government called >a er these circumstances to preside over the affairs of the country woull receive Lair trial from the people of England. At the conclusion of his lordship's address an elector queotioned him on the ballot and representative reform. In reply, Lord Naas said he was opposed to the ballot, but thought it a fit stbject *. inquiry. He would pledge himself to no plan of reform until it was introduced into the House of Commons and fairly considered and die' cussed. BELFAST. DUBLIN, Friday.—This day, Mr. Cairns, Solicitor General for England, was re-elected member for Belfast without opposition. He was enthusiastically cheered. THE BOOT AND SLOB TEA DE. James Green and others in their March circular say : " The month of February is generally known to be the slowe , t in the year, but r:cent events, whioh all but annihilated credit, have told to a serious extent on the i 2 present prospects of the shoe trade.

Were the shoe trade in this country to makes an effort to shorten credit, as is now being attempted in the United States, we are assurer that great advantages would accrue from its alcomplihtnent to all parties. " We have no change to note at present in the Ans 4 tralian market. The mail due 'next Wednesday is anxiously looked for, especially as it will bring details of the effect there of the late monetary crisis in this coml. try, and it is feared that the disastrous advice' forwardad iu October and November last, which both left Sues at the same time, will inevitably produce a severe panic ilia the colony of Victoria, and perhaps in the other colonie; of Australia. _ The home trade has, during the past fortnight; is c os i:4 :Z healthy and legitimate than it has bee n i n former CO have e S. shown b a e l n itt e le m m aj o i rs yaentimwaetiobne,libeuvte tthheeacttruaadle sons.

The spring prospects not being so enoouragirg as usual, rati ma ons ; nufacturers are not making th e customary prepa consequently, if orders should WI hand, the trade will recover the more rapidly from the existing depression. "The Leather Market has shown a little more asi tivity, and current prices are maintained. " LONDON'.—The same unfavourable results continuo to manifest themselves in the labour market—order being still unusually slow. NORRICH.—The Trade here remains in a state of great depression, and work is very scarce, several mans facturers doing little more than keeping their doors open : still, at present they look forward to a eatisfactory Spring trade. "NORTHAMPTON.—Prespeots are not at all brightened, in this place, and it is many years since trade has been so slack. The strike still continues against the use of sewing machines. The Americans are now using It large number of these machines : consequently the cows taken by the men here will prevent our competing with that great market, and thus the effect will be to destroy a large part of the staple trade of this town." All made with the Hoosac tunnel, and the entire advance of heading since the commencement of the work. in January, 1856, is estimated to average 544 feet per annum. The operations are going on at both ends, and it will take twenty-two years to bring both working d e r „ m a bb y a jo i t it : parties together. The first mile is said to hare cost less than any of the succeeding ones.
