From the statements of the prosecutor, who appears to have more money than sense, it appeared ithat he was a solicitor, carrying on his profession at Manchester, that three days previous to that -named in the indict ment, he arrived in London, and that on the day in question, he entered into conversation with a perfect stranger, when in the neighbourhood of the Royal Ex change. In the course of th at con versation he stated that he was going to Oxford -street. The stranger said he was going in the same direction, after calling in the Borough, and the result was that they both went in the direction of London-bridge together. In the course of their walk they called at a public-house called the Crown, and there had something to drink, and ultimately they arrived at the Yorkshi re S t i ngo at Paddington. Here they met with an old man and the prisoner, who appeared to be entire strangers to the new -made friend and pilot of the prosecutor. Some refreshments having been called for, and the roar having made themselves comfortable and acquainted with each other; it was proposed that they should have a hand at cards, but some demur having been made as to some of them having money enough, the quondam friend of the prosecutor produced a purse, containing a large quantity of what appeared to be sovereigns, and the old gentleman exhibited his pocket book, which displayed a goodly array, doubtless of flash, but what appeared to the prosecutor good Bank-notes. Determined not to be outdone on the keeping up a respectable appearance, the prose cutor produced his purse, evidently the most valuable in the room, although it only contained six sovereigns and about ten shillings in silver. Thus equipped the cards were introduced, the prosecutor declined playing, he ob jected even to touch them, but he felt no disinclination to pursue the more gentlemanly occupation of looking on and betting on the game. This turned out a most unprofitable speculation, sovereign after sovereign de parted from the purse of 'din prosecutor, until at last, being reduced to his last shilling, he was offered the loan of a pound from the feeling friend he had met with in the neighbourhood of the Royal Ex change. This went too, and upon his stating that he had no means of returning it, he was gently reminded that he had a watch in his pocket and a chain about his neck, which would soon set all right, if he would only allow it to adorn the strong room belonging to his uncle. Green as ever, notwithstanding his losses, he allowed himself to be led like a lamb, to the slaughter, accom panied by his friend of the Royal Exchange, to a pawn broker's hard by, where he exchanged his geld watch and appendages for eight sovereigns. These he placed in the pocket of his great coat, and returned to the Yorkshire Stingo, his old friend only accompanying him to the door, where ho bid him a final adieu. On going into the tavern he found the prisoner and the old man still there. He took off his great-coat, hung it on a chair, and left in the room for a short time. On his return he found the prisoner and the old man gone, his coat still hanging on the chair, but the money in its pockets had departed. The prosecutor gave information of the rob bery and the prisoner was taken, but the other two de , linquents were no where to be found. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and The CO➢IDION SERGEANT sentenced him to one years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor- MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Alfred Brooks, errand boy to Joseph Dean, tailor, No. 1, Leicester-square, was charged with robbing hii master, and Sarah Brooks, his mother, with receiving the goods, knowing them to be stolen. William Hall, in the employ of Joseph Dean, said that for some time the boy had been suspected of robbing the shop ; they were, therefore, on the watch. Last night, about a quarter-past nine o'clock, he missed a satin waistcoat piece. The boy was gone. He went out after him, and found the police-constables that were in waiting for him standing opposite to a public-house door in St. Martin's-lane. Witness went into this house, and called the boy out, and had him taken back to his master's shop, where he was searched, and the waistcoat piece was found on him. Police-constable Jeaps, 146 C, had been watching the boy, and last night he followed him along Leicester square to Bear-street, where he met his mother, and both went into a public-house in St. Martin's-lane. Police-constable Connor, 158 C, searched the mother's house, and found a piece of plUsh. While engaged in this the mother threw a number of duplicates into the fire. He was able to save but one of them, but the rem nant of that showed that a piece of satin had been pledged with Hartland, a palinbroker in Lambeth. He searched her boxes, and she pulled out a drawer which contained several more duplicates, some of which were for pieces of satin, plush, and satin waistcoat pieces, pledged in the name of Mary Smith, some in the name of John Smith. In her box he found a remnant of silk. The witness Hall swore to the remnant of silk being the property of his master. The prisoners made no defence: Mr. Lori° remanded the case to Tuesday next. John Thompson was charged with attempting to steal a coat and a pair of trousers from the shop of Orlando Latrielle, 53, South Molton-street. It appears that he came to the shop this morning inquiring for work, and as he walked in he drew down a pair of trousers off a brass rod at the door, and was in the act of handing them from behind him to a man who stood close by the door. He had also drawn a coat which lay on the counter towards the door, when Mr. Latrielle's foreman collared him, and gave him into custody. The prisoner said nothing to the charge. Mr. LONG committed him for_lrial at the Middlesex sessions. FOREIGN W OOL TRADE.—LEEDS, STATE OF TRADE. Nov. 27.—Buyers generally hav e ex hibi te d a good dea l o f ca ution in their purchases duri ng th e past f ortn i g h t , e vidently from a desire to learn th e resu l t o f t h e pen ding London sales, before operating to auy extent. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, NOV. 27.—There has not been any variation in the sales of English combing or clothing wools daring the present week, and prices remain •about last week's quotations. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.—Nov. 27.—The state of the wool market is quite stationary; the sales are ex ceedingly limited, but the impossibility of buying from the ground to meet the rates here causes the arrivals to be still more limited; and late quotations are sup ported. LEEDS.—There was scarcely anything doing at the Cloth Balls except assorting to positive orders, either on Saturday or Tuesday. The trade is as usual at this period, falling off as respects the home demand, and there is yet but little doing in market goods for ship ping. The same dull state of business obtains in the warehouses; after Martinmas few buyers visit market, and with the exception of a few orders, which are in course of execution for the American spring trade, and for the eastern market, the foreign houses are doing very little. BRADFORD MARRET, THURSDAY..--There is a better demand for wool than last week, but still the demand is an extremely dull one, even for the season. The supply of wool is fully an average one. Prices, to the surprise of every one in Bradford, do not give way. Clothing wools are not in good sale. For home consumption the demand for yarn is as usual at this season; but as little is done in the export way, the trade is dull, and many spinners are further curtailing their production. No variation in price. For heavy piece goods there is con siderable inquiry. The manufacturers are in better hopes, in expectation of a good American spring trade, of which there are some indications. The manufacturers are very low in stock. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY Mourallo.—We have had a most gloomy trade in cloth this week, and which since Tuesday has in no ways improved ; :perhaps a duller market than that of Thursday has seldom been expe rienced, nor is there any prospect of things improving. The dyers are exceedingly dull this week; a bad sign this of the home trade. Yarns are very heavy, and the buyer has a further advantage. BARNSLEY.—The linen trade during the last fortnight has been rather better than for Some months previous. The drill houses are at present well employed, and a few of the plain goods warehouses have experienced a slight improvement, so that there is a much better pro spect for the winter than was presented a mont h ago . N OT TINGIIAM.—Th . e condition of th e cotton hosiery trade in any of its branches, whether wrought, cut-up, or fancy stockings, has not mended ; at present scarcely any English made cotton hose are consumed in France, Spain, or Austria, these being rigorously and effectually prohibited. The drawer and pantaloon branch too is extremely dull. The silk glove trade is in much the same state. The lace trade, both bobbin and warp, con tinues in a very depressed state. In despite of this, machines still keep up in price, and what is more sur prising, since the repeal of the law against the exporta tion of machinery, not more than from six to eight lace machines have been shipped from Great Britain ; France in raising the duty from 15 to 35 p er cent having so far encouraged smiths, that they make their own machines. Some of the Nottingham smiths have two establishments. —Nottingham Review, yesterday. DEATH BY HYDROPHOBIA. OF M R. the /limning CONEY, or ootfffihecer of the 73d melancholy death e c s E tt h 7 oo 3 ff n A M o nda y' r .Co n ey, on RE G IMENT.—The ey, a p contained.om pr o m is ing i o nn b go i t t )i u .c a . 0, u r y no gr Regiment, at the Vicarage, Pucklechurch, Gloucester, on the 15th inst. It appear s, from the Bristol Times, u s s n t d enteredlittl little morethe a T an , having joined two months ago. While there, and abou t six w eeks since, be was his that regiment Mr. Cone n one morning playing with a litt l e favourite dog when the latter bit his lip. The bite was rather a severe one, and Mr. Coney felt uneasy and nervous about it, and, by Coney haldre just the advice of his friends, applied to the Horse Guards for leave of absence, which , a f ter some delay, was granted him, and on Friday week he returned home. While on his way back, and at Gloucester, he was first seized with a paroxysm. He dined heartily, and had then a cup of coffee, which, however, he had only just taken when a violent fit came on. After a short remis sion the paroxysms returned with terrible force, and continued, with a few composed intervals, until Sunday morning, when they terminated his extreme agony. He was attended by the most eminent medical men from Bristol, but skill, science, and medicine were all perfectly impotent against the mysterious and awful malady. HAYIBUIIGH MAIL: JIIIESLAW, Nov. 20.—1 n consequence; of events at Cracow, a deputation from this place is to go on Of. 22d to Berlin. It is composed of several of our principal merchants, and we hope that they will succeed in pre venting the ruin of the Silesian trade with Cracow, which is very important. THE RHINE, Nov. 18.—Respecting the incorporation of the republic of Cracow with Austria as a circle of Ga licia, an offensive and defensive • alliance has been con cluded between the three 'protecting powers. It may be affirmed that Russia chiefly insisted on the incorporation. Prussia afterwards acceded to this view. If such an event were to take place, the re public of Cracow could hardly have been ceded • to any power but Austria, which possessed it till 1809, and gave up the idea - of re-occupying it after 1813, because it was a favourite project of Alexander to form a state in the centre of the ancient kiigdom of Poland, with which the appearance of the independence of Poland was connected. Perhaps Alexander had greater sincerity in this step than was afterwards at tributed to it. Facts and events have opposed the rea lisation of - his views. VIENNA, Nov. 18.—Yeaterday afternoon a report was spread on 'Change that the English and French Arnba.s sadors at this Court had pr,tested against the incorpo ration of Cracow with Austria. But it is evtdcnt that this must be a false report. Princi, MOternicit has, in deed, communicated this (fait accomp!is), for the pro clamation to,ik place in Cracow the day before yester day to the diplomatic body, but tl:e formal declarati, n will not be made till a few days hence. A protest cannot lave - been made, for Lord Pon,qmby sent an ex traordinary English courier to London only the-day before yesterday, and who will probably return with Lord Palmerston's answer. STOCKHOLM, Nov. 17. General Count I3jornstjerna is not recalled from his post as ambassador in L'a.don, as has been stated, but obtained on the 27th of Augut, leave of absence for three months, beginning on the Ist of October this year, and he is now here. Meantime his place is filled by Baron Rdiausen. Count Bjorst• jerna's son, who was lieutenant in the body-guard, had lately the misfortune to be run over, and was dan gerously hurt, for which reason a prize which he had gained in the military academy, has been handed by his Majesty to his father. NVinter has at length began here. The day before yesterday all the streets were covered with snow, which, though thin still remains. We lately heard among ether places, from Linkoping and Calmer, that the wea ther was so warm that the rye was beginning to form the ear, fur which reason they were beginning to cut it. This will not now be necessary. VIENNA, Nov. 20. The latest Austrian Observer contains a very long article (19 columns) on the recent history of the republic of Cracow, for the explanation and justification of the incorporation which has taken place. We find in it a series of statements, as results of the several political investigations, which have been occasioned by the movements in Poland since 1830. We extract the following passages respecting the relation to the other protecting Powers : ' l3e result i np o os f s t e h st e so c n am o p f ai t g h n e of 1812 p p u o t r t t h io e n E s Emperor Alexander r which, united into one mass, had formed the duchy of Warsaw. In consequence of this state of things, negociations were entered into by the thr ee Cabinets of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, the result o f territory which was, the establishment of the present kingdom of Poland and the other incorporations concerning these territories ; among these was the establishment of the republic of Cracow. The three Courts inserted the regulations that had been made in the treaties of the 21st of April (13th of June, 1815), and the other Powers which had signed the act of the Vienna Congress confined themselves to aeceptinc , this reso lution, as a result of th e di rec t negociation'between the three Courts, without interfering in the regulation of the territorial relations therein stipulated, with which they had nothing to do. Cracow, therefore, was from the year 1815, a municipal town, subject only to the pro tection of the three powers, and was connected with the rest of Europe, merely through the mediation of its protectors. MERCANTILE ALiIIANAC AND BRITISH TARIFF FOR 1847. It - has long been a matter of surprise, that whilst almost every special mercantile and trading interest has its own especial almanac and year-book of reference, there has hitherto been no publication of this nature, which furnishes that particular species of information which will be found useful to the mercan tile world generally. This want is, however, well supplied by the publication of the " Mercantile. Almanac," the first number of which is now before us, and which, in addition to the usual contents of an almanac, gives us the British and American tariffs ; extracts from the Navigation and Customs Laws ; forms of Custom-house entries, inwards and outwards; and, in fact, every species of information that can by possibility be useful to the merchant in the conduct of his business. It is clearly printed and admirably arranged, and will henceforth be the merchant's vade mecum. DESPERATE AFFRAY WLTH POACHERS.--Soon after midnight on the 17th inst. a desperate affray took place in the preserves of T. W. Beaumont, Esq., of Bretton Hall, near Barnsley, between the poachers and the watchers. There were six of the former, and four of the latter. The poachers were shooting pheasants in lloyland•bank Wood, when the keepers, William and Frederick Hodgson and Moses Trout, came up to them. A desperate fight ensued. The poachers attacked the watchers with their guns, until these weapons were broken to pieces. Severe injuries were inflicted on both sides. The watchers, who appear to have acted with determined resolution, succeeded in capturing four of the poachers, as well as one gun, two gun stocks, one gun barrel, three pheasants, and a powder flask. On Friday the offenders were brought up before a full bench of magistrates at Barnsley; and, after undergoing an examination, they were committed to York Castle to take their trial at the ensuing assizes. Their names are John Hargreaves, Joshua Bedford, John Smith, and Daniel Harrison, all from Clayton West—Doncaster Gazette. A SENSIBLE LANDLORD.—One of the first acts of the new Earl of Yarborough is indicative of a wise and successful career in the management of the vast estates which have come into his possession. He has given his tenantry at Cadney with Howsham and Newstead full and permanent permission to kill game on their several farms, with no other restriction than that of keeping out of the woods and covers which are not in their posses sion. The contiguous estate of his Lordship in that parish, &c., amounts to about 4,500 acres, upon which the game has been very carefully preserved for nearly twelve years. You may drive twenty miles in nearly a straight line over the contiguous Lincolnshire estates of the earldom. Tha business habits which the present Earl has acquired during his long, efficient, and laborious representation of the county in the Lower House, and his constant communication and association with his tenantry and constituents, together with his well-known Liberal principles, eminently qualify him for becoming one of the most popular and useful landlords in the kingdom. His revenues would not suffer by an exten sion of the - above leave to destroy game.—Doncaster Gazette. WEYMOUTH.—The sea was very rough on Friday morning, and the wind setting in towards the bay, the waves were carried against the Esplanade with great violenee, the spray being dashed as high into the air as the houses on the opposite side of the road. Besides damaging the works of repair which were in progress, the sea made several breaches on the Esplanade, and forced up the public road, the water and gas pipes being laid bare. The pitching and piles in front of the ice house at the end of Greenhill, as well as the seawall and funcing, were all washed away. Immense quantities of the beach have been carried over the turnpike-road, and great portiuns of the cliff have been brought down by the violent action of the sea. Fortunately the wind changed with the receding tide, and veered to W., or the consequences must have been much more alarming.— Sherborne Journal. MILITARY EXECUTION IN 'SPAlN.—Captain Do mingo Martin, of the Regiment of Estremadura, who assaulted his colonel, has been condemned to death, and was shot on the 17th at Valencia. He entreated to be allowed to give the platoon the word to fire upon him. On coming to the place of execution he delivered an ad dress to the soldiers, saying—" Be faithful to our Queen; be firm and courageous in battle, and be patient in fulfilling your duties. Never allow your passion to carry you so far as to commit the crime for which I am about to suffer. I shall pray to the Almighty to grant that none of my companions may ever follow my fatal example." He then embraced the priests who attended him, and gave to the lieutenant who com manded the platoon an ounce of gold, to be distributed among his men, whom he desired to fire at his head and his heart, that he might die instantaneously. In a few moments more he gave the word, and dropped a corpse. By his will he left 2,000 reels to a charitable institution, 1,000 to the poor, 4,000 to his orderly soldier, that he might procure a substitute, and also his uniform accou trements, arms, wardrobe, and other effects ; the whole of the arreas of his pay to the corporals and privates of his company, and 160 reels to be divided between the men who bore him to his .rave. STATE OF TRADE.--LANCASHIRE, Nov. 26. The demand for cotton goods at Blackburn is limited, and manufacturers are obtaining scarcely any profits, but, in many instances, some descriptions of manufac tured goods are sold at less than prime cost. The yarn market is very dull, stocks continue to augment, and prices, in some instances, are rather lower. The calico t vgiven notice several ence block printing at Accrington, Church Parish, and Colne, i s very dull, and operatives have not half emplo% ment. The trade in the cotton mills at Oldham, Royton, Shaw, work ing full time again on Monday next. Th e b att i ng b r anch at Stockport, Hyde, and Oldh am i s un is usually flat, and many h a t-b o dy ma k ers are totally occu piersac d vicinities o h a r e better, and this w to destitute of work. The woollen cloth trade at Sad dleworth is dull at present. The flannel and coarse woollen trades at Bury, Rochdale, Bacup, and vici nities is not brisk. The operatives in the same districts employed in cotton mills, are principally work ing full time, but manufacturers make loud complaints of the smallness of profits. The silk smallware trade at Manchester and the neighbourhood is exceedingly flat, and at many mills hands are only partially employed. The operatives employed in the cotton and worsted small wares, at most places, are working short time. Cotton hand• loom weavers in the towns ten or fifteen miles round Manchester are in wretched circumstances; most of them are only par Cally employed, at a very low rate of wages. — The Hat Trade.—We are sorry to have to announce - that the hat, trade of Denton is in a most de pressed state. Very little is doing in either leits or silks, and a majority, of the inhabitants, who are entirely de pendent upon the hating business, are consequently in the greatest distress—in tact, a great many are receiving relief as paupers.

Mr. CROWDER, Q.C., addressed the Court at some length in behalf of the defendant. He said, notwith standing the evidence that had been adduced, he was jus tified in characterising the claiin set up by the plaintiff as fraudulent. If it was a just claim, was it likely that the plaintiff would have allowed so many years to elapse, during which he was in very poor circumstances, before making any demand, save for the 171., which was paid ? He made no demand for the amount he now claimed until January last. Assuming that the pictures had been supplied, what evidence had been given to show their value, or that they had all been supplied ? The plaintiff did not pretend to make any claim beyond six months previous to the death of Knight, but he should produce evidence to show that all the pic tures spoken to were in his possession for more than six months before his death, thus proving, by the evidence of the plaintiff, that they must have been paid for. The inference to be drawn from the whole of the matter was, that the legacy of 100/. was intended by Knight to cover the whole of his claim. It appeared that the plaintiff was rather employed in the capacity of an agent to go about and purchase pictures, and for which he was supplied with money, than as a seller. In applying for the 100/. legacy, in July, 1843, through Mr. Johnstone, his attorney, no mention was made of what the plaintiff wished the jury to believe was a bona fide debt, and in a letter subse quently written, he sought leave to take into his possession pictures belonging to the deceased, at Jones's sale-rooms, of the value of 171, which he wished to be deducted from the legacy, not from the 1871., as might be inferred. Was it not more probable that the claim was a fictitious one, trumped up after his application for the legacy had proved ineffectual ? Mr. Linton deposed to the plaintiff informing him that Mr. Knight had had some pictures from him for approval, and that he had not had them returned to him. A person named Davy proved that the plaintiff pur chased pictures for Knight, and that he was not in a condition to give credit for even /. 5 He was imprisoned for six months with the plaintiffon a conviction for manslaughter, but he (witness) was inno cent, as he held Mountain back in order to save a fellow creature's life, but the Jews finding he would not give evidence against Mountain, they swore falsely against him. Alfred Moore proved that the plaintiff told Mr. Gill ham that his bill had been settled, that he had no further claims whatever, and that he thanked him for the facilities he had afforded him to obtain its settle ment. Mr. CROWDER having replied. Mr. Justice ERLE summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 1001. Mr. CROWDER applied to the Court for leave to the defendant to enter a nonsuit on account of a technical mistake in the declaration. Mr. Justice ERLE said he would consider the appli cation. .. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 27. WEEKS V. ARGENT. This was an action to recover 120/. on a promissory note. The defendant was formerly the proprietor of the Rain bow Tavern, Fleet -street. A person of the name of Clarke was waiter at th e tavern. During the time o f his living with the defendant money transactions took place between them to the extent of three or four thcu sand pounds. In the course of these transactions, defendant gave the plaintiff an acceptance for two hundred pounds, which was dishonoured, and on which judgment was obtained. In the mean time the defen dant became bankrupt. Upon the morning of his final examination, the solicitor to Clarke waited upon and in formed defendant, that unless some arrangement was come to with reference to his claim he would oppose the granting of his certificate. In consequence of this threat, two promissory notes of 1201. each were handed over by the defendant to Clarke or his agent. Of these notes one was at twelve months, the other at twenty four. It was upon the first of these that the present action was brought. By an Act passed during the pre sent reign it was enacted, that if any bankrupt should give any promissory note or other security to prevent any creditor fromopposing his final examination or ob taining his certificate, such notes or security were to be considered as null and void. It was under the provisions •of this Act that the defendant set up the plea to the present action. • Mr. .10NTAGUE CHAMBERS, having stated the above facts, proceeded to call witnesses in support thereof. Mr. CHARNOCK then called Mr. Valiance ? the attor ney of Clarke, who conducted the arrangement above referred to, and in the course of his examination asked him several questions, which he objected to answer un less desired to do so by the Learned Baron, on the ground of the communications that he had with t h e parties being privileged.

This was rather a novel action. It was brought by the plaintiff, Mrs. Mary Richardson, a widow lady, to recover compensation for the destruction of from twelve to thirteen dozen of wine, by the negligence of the de fendant. The defendant is the proprietor of several houses, called Tufton•place, Holloway, and the plaintiff I .;ecame the tenant of one of them on the 30th of June, the defendant agreeing to make certain repairs, and to put the wine cellar in a condition to receive wine. Mrs. Richardson was dissatisfied with the way in which the cellar was left, and the defendant, after some hesitation, directed a person in his employ to erect three additional slabs. They were little mure than an inch thick, of bad stone, and were so badly fitted that one of them shortly after split and fell, completely smashing the bottles, and causing them to discharge the generous grape within. The defendant pleaded that he had not been guilty of negligence, as he had had the cellar fitted up in a proper manner before the additions were made. A great number of witnesses were examined. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Boville were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Knowles, Q.C., for defendant. After considerable discussion between the parties as to the liability of the defendant, Mr. KNOWLES consented to a verdict for the plaintiff for 25/., with the leave of the Learned Judge to enter a nonsuit on the question of liability under the circum stances. CORDAN V. MERRICK. This was an action to recover compensation in damages from the defendant for building a high wall immediately at the back of the plaintiffs house in Church-street, Bloomsbury, and thereby closing up three windows, which were absolutely necessary for light and ventilating his dwelling, and which were "ancient lights." The defendant is a paper manufac turer, and the wall was part of his manufactory. The case was undefended, and the jury, after a short consul tation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 2001. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) HAIGH AND ANOTHER V. JARNAC AND ANOTHER. In this case, which was an action brought to recover a certain amount of money alleged to be due to the plaintiff; as "differences" upon the purchase and sale of shares. A verdict was returned for the plaintiff. A rule was subs( quently obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside. Mr. MARTIN now appeared to show cause against the rule then obtained. After hearing counsel at great length on both sides, The COURT discharged the rule, on the ground that the plaintiff was not a sworn broker for the purpose of transacting business connected with the purchase and sale of shares. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) John Charles Young, who was convicted last session of stealing money from a letter, but upon whom sentence was not passed in consequence of a point put by his counsel, was placed at the bar, and the point having been decided against the prisoner, he was sentenced to be transported for fourteen years. Mr. Richard Martin, a barrister, was indicted for an assault on a sheriff's officer while in the discharge of his duty. Mr. hallantine was retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defence. Dolby, a sheriff's officer, stated that he was sent to apprehend the prisoner, who endeavoured to escape, and while witness put forth his hand to detain him (in so doing tearing the - skirt of prisoner's coat) he was struck on the head with a heavy stick, and the prisoner escaped. Mr. Bartlett, a surgeon, residing in Chancery-lane, deposed to the severity of the wound, which had con fined the prosecutor for a fortnight in great danger, and stated that he was not yet quite recovered from its effects. Mr. Sergeant WILEINS addressed the iury for the prisoner, and called Mr. Sergeant Murphy, who had been his fellow collegian for three years, Mr. Ellis, a barrister, and late M.P. for Newry, and Mr. Murdo Young, the proprietor of The Sun, both of whom gave him the highest character for humanity and mildness of disposition. The Learned JUDGE recapitulated the facts as stated in evidence, and the jury returned a verdict that the prisoner was Not Guilty of a felony, but Guilty of an assualt.—Sentence was deferred. DISCHARGE OF BAIL.-Mr. HUDDLESTONE applied to the Court for the discharge of the bail of Bentham Fabian, who, with a person of the name of Faulkner, had been indicted at the June sessions for the forgery of railway scrip. The trial was postponed from time to time until at last, in September, Faulkner took his trial, and was acquitted. Fabian, on that occasion, did not app?ar, nor was he called upon, and these circumstances Counsel thought cc nstituted a sufficient ground for the ttherdischargeiawas ea ognolfzatnhceesb.ail,Oanntdheforserveefrraailmo'negeafsricolmns ewsthreeantitnhge l Court, and to these arrang ements the sureties were no postponed the bail had been enlarg ed b y the party.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE cited several cases to show that bail had been discharged by the Judges of Assize after the trial had been passed over. The JUDGE could not see that his power extended to the entire relief of the bail ; at any rate, he could not interfere with ou t re f erence . I n de e d, he believed that it was rather a matter for the consideration of the Ex chequer, and he should certainly decline now to dis charge the bail. Thomas Evans, a porter, aged 26, was indicted for Ni stspthhho ' fr o .eiereT U rs.eocphi n ßinoNr d ealvimieod i sv n rbiopmit: g ilnhrenligboef L sststursoahe o ithntocif u ,hesoun i arala s tplp a donroipiuifdwux C ders,ateep‘ h vbhdrtoa i whenees l srn d whdeeamm s nodesof , risiori;hdee w rgahendean, i etdtrin t hidhee h nih(at.eeigoaatff i hp.dtg n osl her.

Mr. Michael Warren, a surgeon of Guy's Hospital, described the nature of the wounds. Henry Harding, a policeman, deposed that, on the day stated, he had apprehended the prisoner in street, immediately after the offence had been committed. He said, " I did do it, policeman, and I'll die for it. I will go with you quietly." Mr. ROBINSON cross-examined the witness to elicit a declaratio❑ from -him that the prisoner was intoxicated, but was unsuccessful in his object. He then addressed the jury on behalf of his client. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict of Guilty on the count charging him with inflicting the wound, but not with intent to murder. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that it was his invariable custom when a criminal was charged before him with any offence in which a knife was used, Mr. HUMPHREY contended that the witness could not be compelled to divulge any circumstances 'connected with those transactions. The LORD CHIEF BARON ruled that the witness should answer the question?. A note was - taken of the objection, and the witness proceeded to-give evidence corroborative of the state _ went above Made. The proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy were L" then put in to prove the bankruptcy of the defendant.

The average price of wheat during the week ending on Saturday, Nov. 21, was 26f. 86c., and that of rye 21f. 25c. per hectolitre. This is a considerable rise above the prices of the preceding week, viz., If. 27c. on wheat and lf. 36c.'on rye. The Moniteur publishes the law for'continuing the free importation, till the Ist October, 1847, o f w h eat, rye, barley, bu c k wheat, maizebrans, vetches, peas, oats, potatoes, and other provisions. The Government is authorised to grant for the same term total or partial freedom from import duty on flour, groats, cattle, and every species of provisions not enu merated in the following articles. A scale duty of 10 centimes per 100 kilogrammes shall he levied on these articles:— " Art. 2. Wheat, rye, barley, buck wheat, oats, brans, vetches, peas, and potatoes are not to be_ exported till the Ist October, 1847.

The Government may, if circumstances per mit before the Ist October, 1847, suspend the present law as far as exportation is concerned. It may also prolong it wholly or in part till the Ist December, 1847. " Art. 4. The present law shall be in force the day after its promulgation. (Signed) " LEOPOLD." Our stock market has been very animated since this morning, and a very eager desire to purchase has been manifested, which has occasioned the prices of all our railways to rise several florins per cent even before the commencement of Change. The cause of this mi -1 expected change is a notice published in the Vienna Ga zette of this day, that the State resolved to purchase railway shares at suitable rates. The imperial resolution is dated yesterday, and announces that his Majesty has been pleased to order that an extraordinary loan office shall be opened in the department for the payment of the public debt, which is destined to purchase with the funds allotted to it shares in certain national railroads at prices corresponding with their actual value. This measure has caused a better tone on 'Change, and appears to give more room for speculation. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION.—It is currently ru moured in Westmoreland that the York and Carlisle Railway, now amalgamated with .the Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, and the Leeds and Carlisle Companies, have abandoned the portion of their line for which they obtained a separate Act last session, from Bishop Auck land, in Durham, to Kirkby Stephen, in Westmoreland. The immense tunnel of two miles in length, which would be required on Stainmore Fell, through a strata of solid limestone rock, is, we understand, now looked upon us an insurmountable difficulty—that is, the undertaking would occasion the expenditure of so large an amount of ca pital, that the probability of an adequate return ever being realised is thought to be problematical. About two months ago the projectors of the York and Carlisle line, endeavouring to obviate the difficulty, had a partial new survey made, by which they sought to carry their line from the south-eastern extremity of the proposed tunnel, over the summit of Stainmore—leaving the ori ginal line.to the south-west, and proceeding northward 4,1 miles, close by Brough to Hall Garth, where they turn again to the south-west, and run into the original line at Smarldale (at which place the York shire and Glasgow Union line, adopted by the united companies, is crossed), and proceed for . and thereon to Tebay, near Orton, joining . the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway there. The adoption of the course, however, is found to be quite impracticable, owing to the steepness of the gradients over Stainmore, and the promoters therefore have no other alternative but to desert the undertaking —a result much to be re gretted, as the railway promised to be of great utility, not only as a traffic, but as a passenger line, and the benefit alone which it would have rendered the county of Westmoreland and the southern districts of Cumber land by bringing coals, now so dear an article, at amuch cheaper rate, would have been vast. At Appleby and Kendal, the average price of coal throughout the year is ls. per cwt., the former town being supplied from the West Pits in Durham, and the latter from Wigan, in Lancashire ; whereas, by a transit on the York and Carlisle line, coal from the Durham pit, of by far the superior quality, could be laid down at each place at not more than 6fcl. or 7d. per cwt. GREAT NORTHERN (LONDON AND YORK.—About 75,000 tons of iron rails will be required for the forma tion of the entire line during 1847 and 1848. The first instalment of sleepers on which to lay them amounts to 500,000, There are no fewer than fifty-six applications to Par liament for new lines and extensions in Norfolk and Suffolk. A rather rough rencontre took place the other day be tween a surveyor and some labourers, on the property of Mr. N. Micklethwait, at Taverham. The parish con stable and his myrmidons drove them off and lodged them in custody. DISTURBANCE IN COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-- Last evening Covent garden Theatre was the scene of a disturbance which lasted during nearly the whole of the first part of the concert. No sooner were the doors open than the eatire space of the immense area was speedily crowded from the basement to the ceiling, stage and all. Notwithstanding this, money was still taken at the doors, and the stream kept pouring in until the people were literally packed together in one solid mass. The first overture, Fidelio, was played by the band, and the usual movement was attempted to be made towards the " promenade." To this movement a formidable obstruc tion opposed itself at the proscenium on either side of the orchestra in the shape of a barrier, where the pres sure and crowding were very great. A scene of uproar commenced which almost baffles description; the music was stopped by the groans and yells which ensued, and it was with much difficulty that even Miss Birch ob tained a hearing, The new " Valse," " The Garland," and the solo performances of Herr Koenig were perfect dumb show, and the appearance of a body of police only added fuel to the flame. Another piece of music was stopped, and M. Jullien essayed to address the discon tented, but the groans and hisses for some time pre vented his being heard. Ultimately he declared that those who were dissatisfied should have tickets given for the following evening. —(Cries of "Why take our money when the place was over full ?") He assured them that a placard was put out announcing that the theatre was full.—(Cries of " False, false I") The music again pro ceeded, but the riot now assumed so serious an aspect that a reinforcement of police was deemed necessary, and in a few minutes a large body of the F division, under the orders of Mr. Superintendent Pearse, made their ap pearance, and took up their station at the barriers, amidst the most discordant yells and other marks of dis approbation, and the post was not yielded until the police truncheons were exercised pretty freely. Noise now took the place of violence, and the concert proceeded amidst cries of " Shame 1"—" Jullien, give us the Police Qu a drille"—" Jullien's new Police Polka," &c. Ultimately the time arrived for the British Ar my all Ar m drille, the noise of which completelydrowne d at further interruption, and the theatre having a:t.etceQmua become e . considerably thinned, the first part terminated, time.A general tnot until nearly an hour after its feeling appeared to pre vail that pr oper thenumber of persons li-mited: of enter.

WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENTS.---Mr. Wilson gave one of his entertainments on the songs of Scotland, OR Wednesday night, at the Eastern Institution, for the benefit of the Tower Hamlets' Dispensary, to a densely crowded audience. We unt'erstand that there were nearly 1,400 within the walls. Mr. Wilson was in splendid voice, and the applause which greeted him was incessant.
