COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner Govi.mt , nx.) IN RE METCALFE. This bankrupt, who had carried on business ac a builder, came up to pass his last examination. The report of the official assignee showed that, in the year 1844, the bankrupt compounded with some of his creditors, leaving debts to the amount of 480/., since which time he hat incurred additional debts to nearly 1,0001. He had not kept regular books, and all the creditors had to furnish their own accounts. He had kept a list of debtors, but only one The COURT observed that this was a very extraordinary positionfor so old a man to assume; but they did not see any great harm in it. The constable, in continuation, said, " Before we could get up to the spot, your Worship. the trousers gave way, and he fell inwards amongst the laylock bushes." " Did lie do ally harm )here?" asked the examining ma gistrate. " No, your . Worship," replied the constable; "be lay as quiet as a mouse." The old man was asked what account he could give for this strange conduct ?—He replied that, on the previous afternoon, he had gone down to Greenwich, to see a grandson on board the Marine Society's ship, and, in returning be got very wet with the rain and very weary with the walk ; and, being thus wet and weary, he ✓ lost his way and his wits to• gether, he,believed, for, though he only dank one penny glass of porter on his way home, he had no sort of recollection how he managed to get on the palisades in Bloomsbury square. All he knew about it was, that instead of - being - in Bloomsbury-square at three o'clock in the morning, he ought to have been at Camberwell before nine o'clock on the pre ceding night. He was told he might go home as soon as he pleased, and he very thankfully departed. He said be was bred and born a tailor, but that was many years ago. WORSHIP S 7 REET. Mr. HENRY further remanded the prisoner for a week, and directed that Mr. Richards, the proprietor of Marl borough-house, and his clerk, be summoned to attend the next examination. THE FRENCH IN' CHINA.—The Journal des Debate publishes letters from Macao of the 29th of December. The French mission to China had returned to Macao on the sth of December, after having visited the four northern ports. The Alcmene was to have-sailed on the sth of January from Macao to bring back the commercial delegates to France. All the persons attached to' the mission were to have em barked on board the frigate Archimede on the Bth or 10th of January, to sail from Calcutta, and they are expected to arrive at Suez in the commencement of the month of April, and consequently they may reach Paris in about five weeks. NYfli good. The Com3tS6noNrn desired the bankrupt to be sworn. The bankrupt declined, on conscientious scruples, as he al!e4;ed. The CoMMISCONEK then ordered him to make the declara tion under Lord Denman's Act, and warned him, that if he epoke falsely, he was liable to ba indicted for perjury. The bankrupt's examination did not clear up the mystifica tion of the accounts. The Coatmestozirnt said he should adjourn the examina tion sine die, for the accounts had been wilfully made out, talsply ; and directed a minute to that effect to be entered on the proc.zedings. SECONDARIES COURT, March 27. (Before Mr. Secondary Jams:l4.) LOWRY V. .11 6 KENZEE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 61. ISs., for wine and spirits sold to defendant, who is a gentleman, residing in Suffolk-place, The defendant pleaded the general issue. The only point in the case was whether defendant was indebted to plaintiff, or a person named L'yer, who was his traveller. It appeared that Dyer kept an ale and stout store, in Duke-street, St. James's, and supplied the defendant ; but be was not licensed to sell wines,. although the defendant ordered them of him. Dyer, it appeared, handed over the order to the plaintiff; who sent it in, with an invoice made out, to the defendant. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff: This was the only case set down for hearing. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lirtrpool, March 25. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PArrEsoN.) Henry Harrison was indicted, charged with having, at Denton, feloniously and violently assaulted and beaten Sidney Taylor, and stolen from his person one sovereign and half-a- crown. Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. A. B. Pol lock for the defence. _ It appeared that the prosecutor had been drinking at various public-houses on the 23d February with several per sons, and amongst others with the prisoner, to whom he in cautiously displayed some money from his waistcoat pocket He was followed, tripped up, and knocked down by prisoner. When he had done this be commenced kicking the unfortu nate man upon his head with a heavy boot he wore, inflicted a very serious wound on the left side of his forehead (which bled profusely), and knocked out a large double tooth ; not content with this, the prisoner gathered a quantity of loose mud together, and forced it into his victim's niouth, with the intention and in the hope of choking him at once. This ren dered him insensible, and while he remained so the prisoner rifled his waistcoat pockets and robbed him of 1/. 2s. Sd., with which he immediately decamped. Mr. POLLOCK addressed the jury for the defence. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury having retired to consider their verdict, returned in about half an hour, finding the prisoner Guilty. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Norwich, March 25. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAuux.) Charles Hood, aged 34, was charged with having wilfully and maliciously thrown a quantity of aquafortis on the right foot of Sophia Frakes, with intent, &c. Mr. Evans appeared for the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix is a young factory girl, aged 15; theyri soner is ajeurneyman miller, and both reside at Ditching ham. The defendant had made dishonourable proposals to the prosecutrix in the course of lut summer; she resented the insult, and expressed her determination to make it known to her mother. About the middle of last August the prisoner met the prosecutrix walking with a friend, when he " spurned " (kicked) her in a brutal manner, and used the most disgusting and threatening language. On the 23d of that month the prisoner bought two drachms of aquafortis from a chemist at Bungay; who warned him of its properties, to which he replied, " Oh, I know its use very well," and went away. On the following day he met the prosecatrix walking with her sister, who reproached him for his designs on the virtue of the prosecutrix, and said," It is a shame for any old man like you to interfere with such a young girl as Sophy." Immediately afterwards she observed him throw something at the foot of the prosecutrix, who at the same time felt a blow on her right foot, and a burning and smart ing sensation. The prisoner said, "That's what I meant to do to you," and went away. The prosecutrix went home, and taking off her stocking found the right foot and ankle covered with blisters, under which wounds nearly half an inch deep were subsequently discovered by a surgeon, who now gave it as his opinion that they had been produced by aquafortis, or some other corrosive poison. Mr. CARLOS COOPEIt, for the prisoner, contended that the act was unintentional, and called several witnesses, who de scribed him to be a person of a humane disposition. The jury, after consulting together for ten minutes, found the prisoner Guilty. The sentence was deferred. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 24. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice EaLE.) Eleanor Reuben Smith was indicted for killing and slayi ng Baker, in the city of Exeter, on the 10 th of Februa ry . Mr. Searle was counsel for the prosecution, and M r. Cox for the prisoner. The prosecutor and prisoner had lived as man and wife to gether for many years. On the day in question there wa s some quarrel between them, which ended in the woman screaming violently. The sister of the woman, who lived in the same house, lan into the room, and found her sister bleeding from the nose. She stated to her that the prisoner bad struck her on the face while she was nursing the child, and that he had previously thrown something at her. The woman lingered a few days and than died. The surgeons were of opinion that congestion of the brain led to the death, which had been caused by violence. Mr. Justice ERLE having summed up, The jury expressed an opinion that there was no evidence to show that the prisoner had struck the blow. . Mr. Justice ERLE said, that if a jury requited an eye-wit ness, many persons would go unpunished. The deceased had told her sister, in the presence of the prisoner, that he had struck her a blow; the prisoner had not denied doing so. Would not the natural inference he that he had struck the blow ? SHAMEFUL ASWILT..— William Murray, a master cabinet maker, in Half-Moon-street, Bishopsgate, was charged before Mr. Bingham with having assaulted and wolmdezt a young woman named Rosa Sheridan, the daughter of a retired tradesman, living in the same neighbourhood: It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, whose head was bound up, and who was evidently in a state of great suffering, that on the evening of Thursday se'nnight, her sister-in law accompanied her to the house of a tradesman in Worship-street, for the purpose of remonstrating with him on his injurious conduct towards the witness, in inducing her to Elope with him from the house of her father, and remain for two nights absent. On mentioning the object of the visit, the defendant, who was seated in the shop, immediately assailed the complainant with the most opprobrious epithets, and advised his friend to turn her into the street. The lat ter, however, refused to do so, and the defendant, after some threatening language, struck her a violent blow on the fore head with a massive and sharp edged piece of mahogany, which produced an extensive lacerated wound, and covered her face with blood. The defendant immediately followed up the attack with another violent blow on the back of the head, which brought her to the ground in a state of insen sibility. _ _ _ Mr. BINGHAM said that he had no power to deal ade quately with such a case, and he therefore felt it his duty to send it for the adjudication of a jury. Frederick William Zribell, the elderly German who was charged some time since with having caused the death of his wife by a continuous course of ill-treatment, was placed at the bar to-day. It was originally alleged that he actually caused her death by certain blows ; but since the last examination, a post mortem examination of the body has taken place, the result of which shows that typhoid fever carried her off. Under such circumstances the magistrate said, although it had been proved that the prisorer had adopted a system of brutal ill-usage towards his aged wife, still, as that did not actually cause her death, he felt it his duty reluctantly to discharge him. He was then released from custody. A DESPERATE URCHIN.—A youth, twelve years of age, was brought up in custody for having attempted to hang himself. It appears that his mother, who is a poor widow, has done everything in her power to bring him up religiously and morally, but that, unfortunately, all her efforts were perfectly useless, inasmuch as he pursued a course of viciousness quite incredible for his years. Ho continually stole from her, as well as from the neighbours, and had actually attempted to stick a knife into her person. A few days since he stole some pigeons, when, in order to punish him, his mother locked him up in a room, telling him, at the same time, that he would be transported. Fired with the spirit of contradiction, he fastened his handkerchief to a hook, in the ceiling, and suspended himself to the other end of it, where he was found in a state of total insensibility, and it was difficult to reanimate him, . In anwer to the charge, the little raacalltatod that he was determined he would not be transpoßed, so he had tried to hang himself. Mr. BuououTow considered prison discipline might be beneficial, and consequently remanded him for a week. Ajarol. said that all but one. of the jury took that view of the case. 'ANOTHER " WANDERING FEMALE "—On the afternoon of' Friday, the 6th March, a lady wanderer came to the farm of Glenays, in the parish of May bole. Though lame and pennyless, and destitute of a change of clothes, she had walked all the way from Aberdeen in the course of three weeks. From the style of her conversation and manners, the farmer and his wife were convinced that she had been accustomed to move in superior society. Under this impres sion, they felt it to be their duty to communicate with her friends. After consulting with a neighbeur, who concurred in their opinion, the lady's law agent in Edinburgh was written to on that evening, and by return of post an answer was received, confirming the statements the lady had made, and expressing great thankfulness for the kind attention shown to her by the family at Gle nays. A brother-in-law had been in search of her for the last fortnight; and, after having traced her to Ayr, he had learned that she was desirous of proceeding southwards, and, consequently, went on to Dumfries, at which place he received tile letter which had been sent to the agent in Edin burgh; and with his mind relieved (though in the mean time his relative had been removed by a friend to Glasgow), he hastened to Glenays, to express personally the thanks due to Mr. and Mrs. M'Colm. They had for several days treated the poor wanderer with the greatest kindness, pro viding her with changes of clothes, and with everything ne cessary for her comfort.—Aer Observer. BERKSHIRE PIGS. —A cerrespondent of the Ger dener's Chroniae says—" Berkshire is proverbial for its breed of pigs; and, as the present season is a fit time for rearing them, a few remarks on the qualities and extraordinary di mensions of this peculiar breed may be int,reeting to some of your readers. The Berkshire breed, which is reek need one of the best in England, is perhaps more celebr .ted for its fine qualities than its dimensions, al though these are often considerab'e. One of the Berk shire breed killed is reported to have measured, from the nose to the end of the tail, three yards eight inches, and to have stood four feet and a half in height ; its _weight, when killed, was eighty-six stones eleven lbs. avoirdupois, according to the old stone of fourteen lbs., the weight being 1,215 lbs. Another instance I know of ; one reared in this country, and recently killed, was found to weigh thirty-eight score. Examples of the Berkshire breed were given at the late Smithfield show, which were Wieldy praised, and successful in competing with other breeds. Size, however, is of minor importance ; and, since the in troduction of the Chinese race, which has tended to the improvement of our own breeds, we less frequently hear of instances of enormous magnitude than formerly. The most common weight of the Berkshire breed is from twelve to fifteen scorce, although many fattened at two years old weigh twenty score when killed, and some even more. Two primary qualities are, that the bone is small, and that they fatten at an early age on little food. The true Berkshire breed is known to be black, with white spots, but some are quite white; their snouts are short, jowls thick, and ears erect. A mixed breed, by crossing the Berkshire with the Chinese breed, possesses improved qualities, though susceptible of cold for want of hair. Ex cellent, however, as the flesh of the Chinese hog is, and of the breeds crossed with it, preference is given, by competent judges of its qualities, to some of our native improved breeds, as yielding, what is most essential, the best bacon; of these, the breed of this, as well as that of other counties, is highly esteemed. QUACKERY IN FRANCE —ln a recent lecture de livered by Monsieur Magendie, the celebrated French physiologist, on the value of medical treatment, after men tioning various pseudo-medical delusions, he observed as follows :—" It is with regret that I have laid before you this melancholy picture of the deplorable abuses which exist in the medical world. I am afraid no laws on the practice of medicine will be able to eradicate them. The quack will always contrive to elude the wisest regulations, for he knows that patients want to be deceived. Yes, gentlemen, we love error, and often refuse to yield to evidence, even when it is proved to us that our good faith and credulity have been imposed upon. Of this fact I will give you the following prOof : A lady, a fervent believer in mesmerism, asked her niece, who was poorly, for a lock of her hair, in order to consult a somnambulist. The niece, wishing to try the credulity of her aunt, gave her the hair of her maid instead of her own. A renowned somnam bulist was consulted, and at once recognised, by the hair of the maid, all the symptoms presented by the niece, whose sufferings he minutely described, to the great edification of the lady. The latter was then informed of the trick that had been played. You would naturally have thought that she would have recognised the imposture of the somnambulist. Not at all; she preferred concluding that the maid-servant had the same disease as her niece, and obliged her to submit to a regular treatment, as if she had been poorly, although at that time in the best possible health." CAUTION AS TO POTATO STORlNG.—Professor Hen slow communicates two carious instances of spontaneous ignition having nearly taken place in consequence of fibrous materials being used to store potatoes. In one case a labourer at Hitchui, observing that soma potatoes intended for seed were sprouting, stored two bushels in perfectly dry bean dust, the refuse afte r th ras hi ng and removing the stalks ; but the moisture from the potatoes so saturated the bean dust that it heated and became charred; some of the potatoes were half roasted, and had it remained unnoticed a few days longer the cottage would probably have bean burnt down. In the other case. Mr. Joseph Rand, of Handleigh, in October last, laid up a quantity of potatoes in a small chamber of his malt house, carefully packed in layers with dry "malt dust" which falls through the kiln tiles. About a fortnight ago the Excise officers, in making their inspection, lighted upon this heap, and happening to stir it up, found the interior in a state approaching to ignition, the potatoes parboiled, or half-baked, and the malt dust perfectly charred. Immediate steps were taken to remove the heap; the potatoes being chiefly rotten, were thrown away. and the malt dust was laid on another of the some material, to be curried upon the land ; but it a short time it heated again so powerfully, that no tiros was lost in removing it from the premises, the walls snd floor of which had been visibly affected by the heat. EXPORTATION OF BEER.—With reference to an order issued by the Lords of the Treasury in September, 1842, on the subject of the exportation of strong beer, the revenue authorities have received a communication from Mr. Cardwell, secretary to the Lords Commis sioners of the Treasury, stating that he has been com manded by their Lordships to acquaint them that they have authorised the Commissioners of Excise to permit the exportation of bottled strong beer on drawback, in cases containing two dozen quart or two dozen pint bottles, provided the case be properly secured and the quantity of beer exported at k any one time be not less than 36 gallons. This order has been communicated to the several departments in London and to all the outports of the kingdom, for the information and future government of the officers of the revenue with reference to the Coin , missioner's general order, of the 30th of September, 1842, founded on the previous order of the Lords of the Treasury on the subject, which, on a memorial, praying for permission to pack strong beer in cases, instead of in casks, authorised the Commissioners of the Excise to permit the exportation on drawback of bottled strong beer packed in cases, provided that the same should be properly secured, and the quantity of beer exported at any one time should not be less than 36 gallons. It will be seen that the former order sanctioned the exportation of the article in cases, instead of only, as was previously the case, in casks ' • the order no w i ssue d re f err i ng t o th e quant i ty on l y which is to be so packed in each case, no alteration being made in the total quantity to be exported at any one time. FRESH BEAR'S GREASE.—On Ft i lay, a large bear was drawn through the streets of the metropolis, which it was announced was about to be slaughtered, and the public invited to purchase the grease at Is. per ounce. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday a Court was held for the dic - patch of public business. THE CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. Mr. HARTLEY (the Chairman of the Parliamentar y }* Com mittee) brought up the report for presenting a petition to the House of Lords against the Charitable Trust's Bill. It stated, that the - Committee having deliberately perused and considered the Bill, were Of opinion, that it was unjust in its provisions, and unconstitutional in its operation ; that the authority thereby proposed to be given to the commis sioners and inspectors was too extensive, and witheat ap peal; that no provision was made for the publicity of the prOceedings of the commissioners or inspectors; that all charities which came under its survey would be obliged to contribute to the expense of t he commission, whether abuses in the administration of the funds existed or not ; and that the power of the commissioners to remove trustees was greater than was necessary, and might be applied to party or political purposes ; and that the Committee, therefore. directed the Remembrancer to prepare a draft of a petition to the House of Lords. A short discussion, in which strong opposition was ex pressed to the Bill, took place, and the report was agreed to by Ilarge majority; as was the petition which was drawn up by the Remenibrancer. Half an hour elapsed, and the jury then returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence—Three months' imprisonment BLACKFRIARS PIKE , V. THE CORrORATION AND WATEBNIEN OF THE CITY, Upon the the motion of Air. T.

Your Committee regret that the eagerness acorn petition, and the pursuit of private interests have intetferred with these intentions, and prevented in some degree the general advantage which was proposed by the Court. "Your Committee cannot close the report wit bout expressing an anxious hope that the differences amongst, the steam -boat proprietors, at present impeding tho realization of tneir desire to afford to all, without distinction, a great public conve nience, may at no distant period cease ; and that the objet of the Corporation, having been obviously to check individual interest, and solely for the benefit of all classes •of the public, may yet be fulfilled, and afford that satisfaction which your Committee confidently anticipated would result from the liberal expenditure involved, the consideration given, and the exertion devoted to the attainment of the object in view." We are indebted to another letter for the following particu lars of the new duties on 'a few of the most important articles of export from this country. As the duties were stated only in Neapolitan measures and money, which are rather difficult to reduce to English denominations, we may have made some errors, and therefore give them both ways : Prints (including handkerchiefs), 80 grani per square canna (4d. per square yard). Bleached cAtona, 45 grani per canna (2id. par square yard). Pl , in linens, 100 grani per canna (yid. per square yard). Figured linens, 110 grani per canna (sid. per square yarg).

Several collectors attended with about 900 summonses, to be signed by the magistrate, against housekeepers in Clerkenwell parish, for refusing to pay the poor -rate. A peculiar question was mooted in reference to the legal liability of the parties against whom the summonses were issued to pay two shillings costs of the summons, if the amount sued for was tendered to the collector or col- Sectors prior to the process being served. The presiding Magistrate offered it as his impression that if the party came forward to tender payment to the collectors before the summons was served, they could not be' legally called upon to pay the costs of the sum mons The collectors said they were obliged to pay two shillings fmi every summons signed by the magistrate, and if parties came there to pay. they (the collectors) would be great sufferers. Magistrate—Some one may come and tender 'the money whilst I am signing the summons, which, not being served, they would think it a great hardship to be called upon to pay 2s. costs. He could not legally call on them to pay if they demanded the strict administra tion of the law. He suggested that the parish of Clerk enwell should do as some other parishes did, apply to Parliament for an act or clause to generalise the sum monses, so that the single signature of the magistrate, would have the desired effect. The Clerk said that some parishes did not adopt that courfe in consequence of a jealousy of compromising themselves with the Poor-law Commissioners. The Magistrate urged the collectors to use immediate means to have the summonses served upon the parties, who would be legally bound to pay the costs if the pro cess were once served upon them. It was an important question, and the officers ought to be supported in doing their duty. MARLBOROUGH-STRE.ET. A fireman, named Thomas Match, one of the Well's stYeet station fire brigade, was requested to attend beGve Mr.,Hardwick, to explain why he had called on a foveign gentleman, in Berwick-street, for 21., his re ward flx• attending to put out a fire in a chimney in the home. in the chil e ; The c virnl e ain h ant said he believed a fire did take place end. soled for 2 - l ita ut certainly rri not in any part of the pre mises he 0ec % 1.. defendant, h however, called on his wife, he was entitled to. i, ich he said was the reward Complainantproduced sa.v the fireman, and denied thath the fireman then tof Parliament, and e c al l ed themoonneyth.e said that it was his authority for deman ding The defendant Bla.tch that he m i g h t give i t to the whose duty it was t o a ll ot He only wanted to get complainant to obtain , .mone y . at complainant's name , churchwardens of the pe rish, the rewards. - Mr..llAnnwrex said he believe d all that the com plainant had stated, and disi%elieved nearly all the de fendant's explanati;,n. He m is determined to set his face against the system of obtliCillg money from house keepers by firemen • Oder colour' of applying for fire rewards, because he was satisfied that this proceeding w 4 nothing less than a system of erc tor don. lie hoped the churchwardens would take care .to disallow rewards, for at least "six months, to those firemen who were proved to have-been guilty of suck - conduct. The parties then retired. LAMBETH. SAVAGE ASSAULT.—MYSTERIOUSAFFAIR.—On Friday A en Lynch was brought before Mr. Henry, on a charge of saragely ill-treating and ealvAng the death of a young woman, GREENWICH. ATTEMPT TO MURDER. —Richard Thorp, a coal-porter, was charged with an attempt to cut his wife's throat in the Oxford Arms public-house, Church-street, Deptford, on the night of Wednesday week. Jane Thorp, prosecutrix, deposed that on Tuesday week she went to the Oxford Arms to her husband, to ask him for a penny to buy bread; he refused to give it her, and fol lowed her from the house, and knocked her down. She then entered into a statement, showing that the prisoner had con tinued following her about, and detailed a series of assaults he committed upon her, and which he repeated at the coal wharf where he was employed, on the following morning. In the evening she again saw 'the prisoner in the Oxford Arms, and after calling her to him, put his arm round her neck and stabbed her in the throat with a knife. (A large clasp knife was produced ; but witness , declared that was not the one he used.) Witness struggled, and got away from the prisoner. He followed her out of the house, and said, "I have done it, and I'll finish you and be hung for you." James Francis, son of the landlord of the Oxford Arms, deposed to giving the prisoner into custody immediately after the assault on his wife, and hearing him make use of the threats above-named. Mr. Edward Downing, a surgeon, examined the wound, which he stated to be incised, and very slight. Police-sergeant Josiah Vincent took the prisoner into ens • tody, and heard him threaten to do for Hs wife when he came out of prison for this attempt, and that he intended to kill her on the present occasion. Witness produced a clasp knife, which lie received from the prisoner, who stated that was the knife with whichle had attempted to cut his wife's throat. The prisoner, who, by the advice of his solicitor, de dined saying anything in his defence, was then fully corn• mitted for trial. WANDS WORTH. SUPPRESSION OF WIMBLEDON FAIU.—A few days since it was publicly announced that a fair would be holden at Wimbledon on Monday, and two following days That the inhabitants of the village might not have to complain of any nuisance arising from it, it was arranged that it should take place upon the verge of the common. A fair was held annually for a full century in this village , but after the passing of the amended Police Act, wich gives the Commissioners of Police the power to suppress other than chartered fairs, it was put down. An attempt was made about two' years since to revive it, but on application being made by the paro chial authorities at this Court, the sitting magistrate (Mr. Poynter) declared it to be illegal, and consequently it was not holden. On Saturday, Mr. Moson, senior churchwarden, ap peared at this court, and made a statement to Mr. Clive, the sitting magistrate, to this effect :—That a notice had been extensively circulated within and about the parish of Wimbledon, stating that a fair would be holden on the common on Monday next and two following days. The clergyman and resident gentry were averse to this spe cies of amusement, as they considered it only tended to debauch the minds of both sexes, and create a scene of riot and confusion, as well as bring into the neighbour hood many loose characters. He had, therefore, been requested to wait upon the magistrate, and solicit his aid in its suppression. He would remind Mr. Clive that, two years since, his brother magistrate decided that the fair was illegal. Mr. CLIVE said he would give the case his fullest attention, and the applicant, having thanked the Bench for its courtesy, withdrew. Subsequently Mr. Busain, inspector of the V division, had a private interview with the magistrate, the resalt of which was the issuing of the following instructions to the superintendent of police of the V division :—" I think that the fair held in Wimbledon parish is unlawful, and has been duly declared to be so, and may be dealt with by the police accordingly, without further notice." Mr. CLrvE subsequently stated that it was for Earl Spencer, as lord of the manor, to show that the fair was legal, and as his Lordship did not choose to attend and do so, it must be understood as a tacit admission that there was no claim. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. OBSTRUCTIONS BY RAILWAY WAGGONS. —Henry Thompso n, driver of one of Pickford and Co's. waggons, attended on a summons for causing an obstruction in Wood-street, at eight o'clock in the evening of the 16th inst. From the evidence of two police-constables, it appeared that the defendant was engaged in covering the goods in the waggon, and refused to go on, causing a delay of five minutes. Th ALDERMAN said that ought to have b een d one i n th e yard He said that the great numb er o f waggons now sent out the different railroads rendered it nec essar y th a t th e offic s should be strict in the performance of their d u ty i n pre nting obstructions. He would only place a small fine, in the hope that Messrs. Pickford and Co. would give orders to prevent a recurrence of the complaint. A Clerk from the firm, who was in attendance, said their men were ordered to go on without delay. The defendant was fined ss. ADJOURNED GENERAL LICENS- ING DAY FOR THE CITY. On Saturday an adjourned annual licensing day for the City.of London was held at Guildhall, before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, to grant billiard licenses, &c., on which doubts had arisen at the last meeting. Mr. D. WIRE appeared on behalf of Mr. Stebbing, of Sherborne-lane, for a license to two houses, in that place and in Cannon-street. The magistrates, however, considered that - they could only grant a license to one house. Mr.' Wire now contended that the magistrates were not restricted, bat that it was entirely discretionary on their part, and the applicant was recommended by the ward authorities. The application was granted. The other applications for licenses were granted in all the cases recommended by the ward authorities. They were, however, prohibited against allowing playing en Sundays, which had heretofore been the case. Mr. WIRE applied for a license for Mrs. Davis, the widow of Mr. Cyrus Davis, a licensed victualler in Giltspur-street, who died suddenly without making a will, and the time had not expired for obtaining letters of administration. The Court granted the license to the public-house, but held that they could not grant the billiard license. GENERAL LICENSING DAY. On Saturday the adjourned general annual licensing meeting for the division of the parishes of St. Paul, Covent-garden ; St. Clement Danes, and St. Mary re Strand, was held at the office of the Strand Union, for the purposes of granting and renewing licenses to keepers Of inns, ale houses, and victualling houses, and also for keeping public billiard and bagatelle tables, before Lord Montford, as chairman, and other county ma gistrates. The several licenses in the parish of St. Clement Danes were renewed without any exception. The Court inquired what steps had been taken by the police in this particular parish to prevent complaints of any magnitude being made against licensed victuallers. _ _ Mr. Superintendent Pear — ce, F. division, replied that whenever he had cccasion to summon a licensed victualler before the police magistrates, if the complaint lw.s even dismissei, he caused the officers to make visits more frequently to A he establishment,- which he found generally attended ith the most beneficial results on licensing day to the rties concerned. The applications r licences to keep billiard and bagatelle tables in thi arish were granted, the terms of the Act of Parliamen cing complied with, and no ob jection being made. In the parish of . Paul, Covent-garden, billiard licences were granted the Cider Cellars, in Maiden lane, and several other , some of whom were not licensed RAILWAY TERMINI IN THE CITY. Mr. R. L. JONES brought up the report of the improve ment Committee in relation to the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and the Direct Londots and Manchester Railway Company, having abandoned their proceedings, in the present session of Parliament, relative to proposed rail way termini within the City The report was agreed to without discussion. WARD SCHOOLS. _ _ . A discussion took place upon the report of the Coal, earn, and Finance Committee, recommending the granting of 5001. for the expenses of the ball and concert, for the benefit of the Ward Schools, and the report was carried by a very large majority. THE RAILWAY _MANIA, Mr. Lorr brought forward, on the last court day, a motion to the effect that no member who had any. interest on rail way speculations should be eligible to Committees in the Court on the subject of making railway termini within the City. He considered that it was necessary, in order to main tain in purity and integrity the acts of the Court as a delibe rative assembly, that their conduct should be placed above suspicion. They had the example of the great council of the nation for passing a self-denying ordinance. He trusted that, for the power and dignity of the Court, they would pass the resolution. Mr. BURN seconded the resolution. The resolation, afler a short discussion, was passed by a large majority. CITY F RUIT- METERS. Mr. PRIOR brought up the report of the Coal; Finance Committe upon the subject of fruit-meterpf Eke' City of London. The office of fruit-meter has hitherto, liter purchasable, but without alienation. A vacancy haying. recently occurred by the death of one of those offi'ceis,''the eatject was referred to the Committee, which, in its report,. recommended that the Court should fill up the vacant offict, by electing a proper person at a salary of 250/. per annum. who should be obliged to give security in 5001., to pay the amount received by hint fur metage into the. Chamber, and that the sum thus received by the elected meter should ha employed by the Common Council or Committee ti•r the relief of trade.. The Corporation h•d no power over the amount received, by The other three meters, as they have purchased their offices, ith the right to the.ptofits. The in come received by each of the four meters, according to the report, was 1,2881. 10s. 10id. per annum. • Mr. Bowxrt condemned the practice of demanding a tax upon l fruit and vegetables 'adopted by the City of Loudon. :Mr. Paton said the matter had already occupied the atten tion of the Coinmitt e. Mr. HARRISON particularly detailed the advantages de rivable from the labours of the Committee. 'The report was then agreed to. AGRICULTURAL FACTS —lt wfini i appear from what is passing around us in the district of Bassetlaw, that the sari culturists here are not much alarmed at the great and compre hensive scheme of, Sir Robert Peel. At a sale of the land be longing to the late Mr. Robert Draper, of Laneham, most of the grass land sold for 100/. per acre and upwards, and the arable land, which was not fit st-rate, realised from 601. to 65'. per acre.

At the sale of farming stockithe property of Richard Ali'ward, Esq. at Babworth, on Tuesday leer, nineteen cart horses realized an average of 30'. 12s. each.--Doncaster Gazette. ROBBERIPS ON CIRCUIT.—A great many r-bberie, , , it is said no less than eleven, have !eeri committed at the assize town of Dorchester . during the stay of the judges there. One . person lost his seals, a second his watch, a constable of Swanage had his pocket picked of above 3/ ; a traveller of the name of Kennison, who resides at Sherborne, was robbed by two women of 40/. in cheques and cash ; and the clerk of Mr. Hodges, barrister, had his packet picked on Monday night shortly after the rising of the Crown Court, of 39/. 10s., 18/. of which was his own manes. - The vigilant police of the town have not yet succeeded in detecting any of the offenders. FOREIGN PoTATOES.—Several parcels of potatoes from the Azores have just been introduced into the London market both for food and seed, for the latter of which they seem very eligible, as this is nearly the only p rt of m the wood where the disease has not appeared. Some of these were introduced last spring, as early ..ew potatoes, and so successful were the samples that a large quantity of the best kinds for propagation were sent over from this country to Ireland to introduce Into cultivation there. A cargo of these potatoes, along with sixty tots of maize. is daily expected in/London, and an equal quantity of each has been consigned to Cork, so that each may have a fair trial. These islands have, since the commencement of the potato disease, been the chief source of supply for seed to the American markets, by which their prices have been raised as high as 60s. and 70s. per ten. Potato , s for a similar purpose have been raised at the Bermudas, and ate expected home by the next steamer and sailing vessels. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 27.—Some de scriptions of Foreign Wool have been more in request this week, but-the demand generally is somewhat languid, and sales limited to the requirements for immediate consumption. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 27.—The de mand for wool continues in the same languid state as for the last few weeks, and prices may be quoted a shade lower. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 27.—1 n short wool we have little doing, but as stocks are small, prices are better supported than for long wool, the demand for which is exceedingly limited, consumers only buying to supply imme diate requirements on rather easier terms. LEEDS.—On Saturday there were re - her more goods sold at the Cloth-halls than his been the case during the month, but on Tuesday there was leis business done. Notwithstand ing the dull markets, there is no great accumulation of goods in the Halls, the manufacturers wisely continuing to limit the production. Prices in consequence remain steady. Busi ness continues dull in the warehouses, and until the Tariff Bill is settled, it is generally thought that there will be no material improvement in trade. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The slackness in all departments of our market still contiques. For combing wools the demand is extremely limited for the season; for short wools there is more request. Prices are ♦ery firm. There is no improvement in the yarn market. A very great deal of machinery is standing idle. Prices remain the same. For plain pieces the trade is steady, but very dull. There was a good attendance of merchants, but they seemed in most cases to be merely lookirig on. The opinion is most emphatically expressed in our market that the delay in the settlement of the corn question is doing great injury to the trade. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.--It is hardly possible correctly to describe the extreme prostration of our cloth market. Advices from all parts of the world represent the markets as quite overstocked, and sales making at great sacrifices, and to this must be added the daily large increase of stocks in manufacturing hands. Hence there is a general anxiety to sell, but it is impossible to effect sales to any ex flat, even at prices below the nominal rates of the d ay . 11'0 printers are very slack, and the dyers not much better The librne market is anything but satisfactory. Spin ners are-also anxious selkrs, at rather easier rates than on this day week. LEICESTEIL—We regret we are unable to report any im .proveinent in the demand for manufactured p.ods this week. Mrbysted yarns are flat, and spinn• r- produce catiiiou,ly. Thy UT 4110 e doing in wools, without alteration in prices,— Leicester '41(;7474ial • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN EDINBURGH.—On Saturday night a fire took place in Edinburgh which for rapid de struction and frightful appearance we have seen nothing to equal since the memorable fire in Greensile-street, about nine 'years ago. It appears to have begun shortly after 9 o'clock, in the premises belonging to and occupied by Messrs. Stevenson and Co., printers to the U. iversity, Thistle -street, and which before 11 o'clock were entirely destroyed. The fire commenced in the dyytog-house in the upper story, west side; but the alarm did not reach the no lice-office fill about half-past 9. The RoSe-street engine was on the spot about a quarter of an hour after, hillowed shortly by the whole fire brigade; but, - unfortunately, it was nearly half an hour before the first engine could be supplied wit.i water, and that very inadequately, while in the meantime the tlam,s were running riot nearly over 'the whole building-, the flame shooting upwards to the skies, which were illuminated to a great height, at d the glare must have been seen for many miles mound. An engine was sent round to the back lane, but fur this there was no fire plug nearer than the centre of George-street, where it crosses Hanover -street, and the quantity of hose was found insuffi cient to reach the distance. The consequence was another delay of about half an hour, until an additional, supply of hose could Le brought from the principal engine-house at Melbourne-place. To save the premises was now altogether hopeless, and the fire-mister directed the energies of the brigade to 'the prescrvation of the adjoining buildings, east and west, in which they happily succeeded, though many of the inhabitants in their alarsn were removing their furniture, . of curse to their serious hurt. By twelve o'clock the fire ! was subdued, or rather had exhausted itself, and the print ing office showed nothing but the front and back walls, with the steam chimney standing. We understand, however, that on the lower or street floor, the steam-engine and printing presses, especially towards the west end, sustained no injury but what may be repaired. We are gl id to hear that the premises were insured; and, as will be seen by an advertise ment from the firm, the stereotype department, which was in a separate building behind, remains untouched. How the firsloriginated we have not heard, nor will that point, perhaps, • be easily ascertained.—Caledonian Mercury. PEDESTRIANISM.—FOOT-RACE AT MANCHESTER F,,R A-SlDE.—William Howarth (of kt,thon) and Thotnas..Bnr:sariid(loyf Bradford) ran 200 yards, on Tuesday, at the Believue-ground, , Man chester, for the above large stake. The a , semb la g e was unusually barge, and the Yorkshire division backed their ch am p io n at 5_ to 3, at which price an immense deal of money was risked against Brian by the Lancashire people. At starting Howarth took ok t h l o te ,, ; ,v lead,er h but Was passed about the 50th yard by Brian ; he again, foremost when 100 yards had been covered. He could not, however, hold his ground, the Bradford man outpaced him, and ran in a triumphant wiener by five yards, amid the shouts of his partisans. Inwood and Rawlings's race of one mile, for 251. a -side, fixed for Tuesday, did not come off, Rawlings forfeiting 151., his health not permitting him to centeml!
