LAW INTELLIGENCE.—: 71as Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Wightman, Crompton, and Hill.) TILE QUEEN V. HATCII-EXPARTI PRATT, AN ATTORNEY. In this case, in which Mr. Edwin Jameson Monday last obtained a rule on the part of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, calling upon Mr. Walter Feake Pratt, an attorney of the court, to answer certain matters contained in the affidavits of the Rev. Mr. Hatch, Mrs. Hatch, and Mr. Onslow, the gover nor of Wandsworth House of Correction. Mr. Macaulay now showed cause against the rule, and proceeded to say that the affidavit of Mr. Pratt had clearly explained that all he had done waa done from motives of delicacy towards Mrs. Hatch, in consequence of a letter written by Mrs. Hatch to Mrs. Plummer, in which she makes a most distressing account of the state in which she and her family was placed. Her husband had done something, she knew not what; he had left his situation, and was gone she knew not where, and imploring that some mercy should be shown towards her husband, as she and her family were in a state of star ♦ation. It was necessary, the learned counsel said, for him to state the position of Mr. Pratt, who was a young man only 28 years of age, and had assisted his father, a convey ancer at Wootten Bassett, but did not follow his profesesion having received a commission in the 7th Lancashire Rifles, but having married a lady he resumed his profession, and had been appointed deputy town clerk and other offices at Wootton Bassett. Mr. Pratt knew very little of the criminal practice, who, no doubt. had been employed from the circumstance that his father was the family con veyancer of Mr. Pliefnmer. The circumstances of the case have been painfully before the public, and after the letter of Mrs. Hatch to Mrs. Plummer, Mr. Pratt came to town, the warrant had then been issued, and out of delicacy to Mr. Hatch, he went to Taylor, the officer, at Wandsworth; and as he learned from him that there was every reason to believe that Mr. Hatch was in the neighbourhood, he, out of commieeration, • and from pure delicacy, went to Mrs. Hatch, and told her that if she would state where Mr. Hatch was, and he would appear and make some apology, he (Mr. Pratt) would do what he could to put an end to the prosecution. Upon this Mrs. Hatch said she must send for Mr. Onslow, and upon which Mr. Pratt said he would call again the next day. He did so call, and there saw Mr. ()aglow, and repeated the same proposal, but Mr. Onslow said it could not be settled then, and it was afterwards arranged that be should see Mr. Hatch at Ridley's • Hotel that evening. He did see Mr. Hatch, and told him if he would make an admission of guilt, and accompany him and Mr. Pratt to Mr. Plum mer's and make an apology, the matter might be arranged. Mr. Hatch refused to make any admission of his guilt, but said he hoped they would deal leniently with him, as he must have been mad, or was mad. Mr. Pratt had acted throughout on account of the distressing letter of Mrs. Hatch, and without any improper motive on his part. The Lord Chief Justice said Mr. Macaulay had said enough. If the letter of Mrs. Hatch had been before the Court when the rule was moved for, they would certainly not have granted the rule. It was clear that the attorney had not been guilty of any misconduct of which the Court could take notice ; it might be that the attorney, on seeing the letter had acted injudiciously, but not in a manner to make him liable, as an officer of the court, to punishment. Mr. Edwin James (with whom was Mr. Garth) argued at some length that the rule ought to be made absolute, as that part of the affidavits in reference to the interview with Sir G. C. Lewis by the chaplain of Wandsworth Jail, in which tho Secretary of State had stated he had heard from a person of high authority that Mr. Hatch had made a con fession, to Mr. Pratt had not been fully announced, and that, in fact, Mr. Pratt had left the Secretary of State still under the impression that a confession had been made. The Lord Chief Justice said that Mr. Pratt had abun dantly answered all that was necessary. The letter of Mrs. Hatch ought to have been read when the rule was moved for, the application ought never to have been made at all, and the rule must be discharged. The other judges concurred.—Rule discharged, but with out costs. EXCHEQUER COURT. (Beforo the Lord Chief Baron, and Barone Martin, Bramwell and Channell.) GENERAL BEATSON V. SKENE. The Lord Chief Baron said the court were of opinion there ought to be a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial on all the points moved for by Mr. Edwin James. —Rule nisi accordingly. CENTRAL CBIMINAL COURT—(This Day) OLD COURT. The adjourned January session of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, anti Under-Sheriffs. The grand jury having been sworn, The Recorder proceeded to deliver his charge. The learned gentleman remarked that the number of prisoners awaiting trial was not above the average for that period of the year, and that it was matter of congratulation that the number of persons charged with serious offences was very small. There was brit one charge of murder, viz., that of a female named Green, who was indicted for causing the death of her illegitimate child. Undoubtedly, crimes in cluding violence to the person generally were certainly on the decrease, but he was afraid this particular crime was not only not decreasing, but was on the increase. There are two rather curious cases of libel to be tried, but the ma jority of the charges contained in the calendar are not of a very serious character. The learned gentleman concluded by stating that he did not know that there was any other care likely to present the least diffieulty, and he should therefore dismiss them to the performance of their duty. There are the names of 81 prisoners entered on the books of the gaol of Nowgate for trial, namely 74 males and seven females. The judges who will preside are the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Willes ; and the aldermen upon the rota for attendance are Messrs. Wilson, Sir John Musgrove, Salomons, Sir H. Muggeridge, and Allen. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AND DESERTION AGAINST A SERGEANT OF THE 21ST REGIMENT OF FOOT.—William Reid, a sergeant of the 21st Foot, now lying at Aldershott, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a silver watch, and two gold seals and key, of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. James Johnston, of 24, Greek-street, jeweller. Inspector Grant, of the C division, said on the case being called on, the prosecutor, the prisoner's uncle, was not in attendance, but there was a further charge against the pri ner—that of desertion from the 21st Foot, and that his name was the Hue and Cry, produced. Sergeant Cook, of the C division, said he told the prisoner there was a full description of him in the Police Gazeette, but he made no reply to the charge. Joseph Bentley, 55 C, said he took the prisoner into cus tody on Saturday for the felony, and he admitted it was true respecting the watch, and hia being a deserter. His aunt had previously told him (Bentley) that he was a deserter, and the regiment was now lying at Aldershott. The prisoner said he would admit being a deserter, and had deserted about a month ago. Mr. Beadon ordered the prisoner to be committed on the charge of desertion.

Only moderate supplies of English wheat were on offer in the country markets held on Saturday. For fine samples there was a fair demand, at full quotations; but other qualities were a dull inquiry. The barley trade ruled tolerably firm. In all other kinds of produce the transactions were on a limited scale at previous cuarencies. Dull advices continue to reach us from New York ; but throughout the continent grain and flour havo commanded full prices. The arrivals of English produee up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amount to 520 quarters ofwheat, 4,747 barley, 1,317 oats, 22 beans, 50 peas, 275 tares, 8,173 linseed, 2,784 rapeseed, 80 sundry seeds, 95 sacks and 3,475 barrels of flour. The supply cf English wheat received fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage, was only moderate, and the general quality of the samples was inferior. The few good and fine samples on offer changed hands some what steadily, at fully last week's quotations; but low and damp qualities met a dull inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Sales were with difficulty effected even for starch purposes. There was a full average quantity of foreign wheat on offer, ex granary. The demand was inactive, but no change took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain met a dull inquiry. There was an improved demand for barley—the supply of which was limited—at in most instances an advance in the quotations of fully is per quarter. Malt moved cff slowly, yet prices were supported. Although the arrival of oats has been limited, the oat trade was in a sluggish state at last week's currency. The few beans on offerwere disposed of at full quotations. Peas were tolerably firm, but not dearer. There was a moderate sale for flour at full prices. CURRENCY PER IMPIIRJAL MEASURE.

S C DALOUS ROBBERY OF A SAILOR. - Catherine Bushby and Mary Healey, two masculine women, who have been frequently in custody for robberies, disorderly conduct, and assaults, were brought before Mr. Yardley, eharged with stealing a silver watch, a £lO Bank of Eng, • land note, two sovereigns, a cap, two handkerchiefs, and a new black coat, the moneys and property of William Ben jamin, a sailor. The prosecutor said he was lodging at Green's Sailors' Home, East India-road, Poplar. On Saturday ho wont to the Tower-hill Shipping-office to receive his wages. He was paid £l5. He laid out some money on clothes and other things. He had about £l2 left, and had two or three glasses of grog, and became intoxicated. He was regularly stupitled, he believed hocussed by some one. He was aroused by a police •constable in a house of bad repute, and missed his coat, cap, watch, handkerchiefs, and money. Everything was taken away except his waistcoat and trousers. He could not tell how he got in the house. He knew nothing of the prisoners, and was not aware that he had ever been in their company or had drank with them. A police-constable of the A division produced the sailor's coat, which had been pawned by the prisoner Bushby. Other evidence was gone into, from which it appeared that the prisoners had fallen in with the sailor, plied him well with drink, and inveigled him into an infamous den in Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, where they plundered him. The Seaman received £l5 in the morning, and he had not a farthing in the evening. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoners in consequence of the absence of the pawnbroker who received the prosecutor's watch. The Madrid journals of the 23d says that it was by mistake that the death of M. Ordonez, an ex minster, was announced ; he is, however, repre sented to be dangerously ill. A letter says : " Peace continues to be much talked of. It is said that communications on the subject have been made to Marshal ' O'Donnel from Madrid, and that the latter, though anxious to carry the war to a successful issue, is ready to sacrifice his own opinions on account of considerations of a high order based on the present state of Europe." Seventy members of parliament claim this session to bo wholly excused from serving on election committees, on account of being more than 60 years old. At the ball at the Tuileries, on Wednesday night, the Empress Eugenie wore a dress composed of pink tulle bouillonne, with a white tulle-embroidered overskirt, embroidered with gold, looped up with large pink roses ; coiffure of pink roses and diamonds.

The bill was read a first timo. GLEBE HOUSES. Viscount DUNGANNON said he should postpone ask ing the question with respect to glebe houses, which stood in his name for to-morrow, until a future day. Ay. CONSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAW. The LORD CHANCELLOR introduced five bills for the consolidation of the statute law. His lordship explained the provisions of the bills, and remarked that several bills with this object had been introduced into their lordskips' house, but none had up to the present time been passed. He thought it was very desirable that such a measure should pass, and he had undertaken the task. Lord CRANWORTH expressed his gratification at tho introduction of the bills. The bills were severally read a first time. THE DISTURBANCES IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN- THE-EAST. The BISHOP of LONDON asked whether any steps had been taken for preserving the peace in the parish of St. George's-in-the-East. His attention had been called to the disgraceful scenes that ware taking place in the parish church. It was impossible the clergy could do anything in the matter themselves till quiet was restored. Concessions that might be right could not be made to violence ; and it was gratifying to know that the police had orders to prevent, as far as possible any disturbance. He would sot express any opinion upon the original cause of quarrel, but he thought it strange that' disturbances were allowed to take place in a parish church which would not be allowed in any other building. Various modes had been thought of to prevent the unseemly scenes taking place, one of which was to exclude all but parish ioners entering the building, but that had been found to be impracticable. He therefore would feel great pleasure in hearing that strict orders had been given to the police to interfere vigorously for the future In quelling any other disturbances that might occur. Earl GRANVILLE said he could not answer the question of the right rev. prelate, as the police report of the disturbances had not yet been resetved at the Home-office, and all the i n f o rmation at present possessed was gathered from the morning papers. With respect to the law there was some difficulty; but there could be no doubt that it was the duty of the authorities to prevent a recurrence of proceedings such as those which took place last night. CHURCH RATES. Viscount DUNGANNON presented a petition, of which he had given notice, on the subject of church-rates from the clergy and laity of Wrexham, praying that they should not abolished without an equivalent. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved the re-appoint ment of the committee which sat last year to inquire into the operation of church-rates. The committee was then re-appointed. REAL PROPERTY. Lord BROUGHAM postponed until to-morrow the pre sentation of certain petitions on this subject. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(TiIIs EVENING.)

THE BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION AT GLOUCESTER AND WAKEFIELD. Mr. HADFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Excite. quer whether any engagement had been entered into by*, Government, or on their behalf, or by the Commissioners. for investigating the cases of bribery and corruption a Gloucester and Wakefield, or either of them, whereby the parties who had given or received bribes were to be indem— nified, or were not to be proceeded against for any illegal ransactions in those boroughs at the last or any other also— ions. Sir G. LEWIS explained that in the case of Gloucester no certificates were granted by the commissioners at ths time of the inquiry to the persons alluded to, but they bad. been since granted to no less than 500 persons. In three cases only they had not been applied for. As regarded. Wakefield certificates had been granted in 140 cases, and. refused in 38. GUATEMALA. •In reply to a question, Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was necessary that the country of Honduras should be correctly defined, and a pur— vey had been authorised, as well as the construction of the road in question. The expense, though at present borne by this country, would ultimately be defrayed by the republic of Guatemala. INVESTMENTS IN EAST INDIA STOCK. Mr. A. MILLS asked tho Attorney-General whether any measure would be introduced in the present session to amend so much of the act 22 aad 23 Vict. 35, as relates to investments by trustees in East India Stock ?

Mr. DISRAELI asked the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it was intended to. lay on the table the communication that had taken place with the French Government in reference to the annexation of Nice and Savoy ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that last July the Govern ment had received the communications alluded to from their repre, e itative in Switzerland, but he must take some time to consider whether they would be produced. CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF WORKS. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to the question of Mr. Edwin James, said it was intended by Government to fill up the vacancy in the Chief Commissionership of the Board of Works, but in the meantime the cx officio commissioners were competent to deal with any subject re quiring immediate attention. THE RELIGIOUS DISTURBANCES IN ST. GEORGE' S- I N-TH E -EAST. Mr. BUTLER asked if it was intended by Government to introduce any bill to prevent parishioners from witness ing such scenes as had rscently taken place in the above palish ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said that ho had, when applied to on the subject of the disturbance alluded to, given instructions to Sir Richard Mayne to place a body of police in uniform in the church of St. George's in-the-East. That instruc tion was carried out for six successive Sundays, but they were afterwards withdrawn. Unfortunately, since their withdrawal the disturbances had been renewed, but an arrangement was now made by which a large body of the police would be stationed near the church, and inter fere, if necessary, to prevent disturbance. Govern ment did not intend to introduce any bill en the subject, but they would give their consideration to any measure which any hon. member might bring forward appropriate to the matter. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR, moved the adjournment of the house, and read the account which appeared in this day's papers of the disturbances of St. George's-in-the East yesterday.
