With this purpose she left the place where they were living at, and when she had gone a tew doors away the prisoner followed her, and she felt his hand upon her shoulder, and he swore that she should not enter the house to which she was going. She struggled to get away from him, and immediately afterwards fell down ; while on the ground she felt something go across her throat, though without pain, but she found herself in a moment covered with blood. It was discovered that there were two wounds in her throat, one above the other. 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, h e h a d apprehended the prisoner in Kent 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 declaration from him that the prisoner was intoxicated, but was unsuccessful in his object. He then addressed the jury ou Lehalf 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. to take care that the person found guilty of such an offence should be removed from the country. It was his duty in the present instance to pass a severe sentence, and he accordingly adjudged him to be transported for fifteen years.

A Luaus VERDANT LAWYER.—Benry Jones, a man having th e appearance o f a sa i n t rat h er than a sinner, wa s i n di cted with stealing on the 3d o f the present month eight sovereigns, the property of a young and green limb of the law, delighting in the name of Thomas Barker Hill. From the statements of the prosecutor, who appears to have more money than sense, it appeared that 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 conversaticn with a perfect stranger, when in the neighbourhood of the Royal Ex change. In the course of that conversation he stated tbathe 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 Yorkshire Stingo 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 four 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 the pro secutor , unt il 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 th a t h e 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 he 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 COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to one years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor rection. Do., No. 1 2G — Do., No. 2.

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 pawnbroker in Lambeth. He searched her bikes, 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. LONG 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 trial at the Middlesex sessions. ,_I4O!4DON, SATITADA.Y THE (lAMB URG LI MAIL BRESLAw, Nov. 20.—1 n consequence of events at Cracow, a deputation from this place is to go on the 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 importunt. 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 kingdom of Poland, with which the appearance of the independence of Poland was connected. Perhaps Alexander hair greater sincerity is this step than was afterwards at tributed to it. Facts and events have oppused the rea• lisation of his views. VIENNA, Nov. h.—Yesterday afternoon a report was spread on 'Change that the English and French Ambas sadors at this Court had prototed against the incorpo ration of Cracow with Austria. But it is evident that this must be a false report. Prince Metternich has, in , deed, communicated this (fait accomplis), for the pro clamation took place in Cracow the day before yester day to the diplomatic body, but the formal declaraticn will not be made till a few days hence. A protest cannot have been made, for Lord Ponsonby 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 Bjornstjerna is not recalled from his post as ambassador in London, as has been stated, but obtained on the 27th of August, 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 Rehausen. 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. Winier 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 other places, from Linkoping and Calmer, that the wea ther was so warm that the rye was beginning to form the ear, for 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 : " The result of the campaign of 1812 put the Emperor Alexander in possession of the several portions of the territory which, united into one mass, had formed the duchy of Warsaw. In consequence of this state of things, negociations were entered into by the three Cabinets of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, the result of 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 th© Vienna Congress confined themselves to accepting this reso lution, as a result of the direct negotiation 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. r ERCANTILE ALAIANAC AND BRITISH TARIFF FOR 1847. It has long been a matter of surprise, that whilst almost every special mercantile and trading interest bas 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 Lawa ; 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 code mecum. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—SOOII 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 Hoyland-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 on© 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, upo❑ 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. The 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 usetul 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 gnat 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 fencing, were all washed away. Immense quantities of the beach hate been carried over the turnpike-road, and great portions 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 L.onsvquences 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 17tk at Valencia. lie 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 reals 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 grave. STATE OF TRADE.—LANCASHIRE, Nov. 26, The dcmand 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. Th e ca li co block !minting at Accrington, Church Parish, and Coln e , i s very dull, .and operatives have not half employment. The trade in the cotton mills at Oldh am , R o y ton , Sh aw, ac d vicinities is rather better, and thi s wee k severa l occu piers of factories have given notice to comme nce work ing full time again on Monday next. The batting branch at Stockport, Hyde, and Oldham is un usually flat, and many hat-body makers are totally 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 di str i c t s 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 rou nd Manchester are in wretched circumstances; most of them are only partially employed, at a very low rate o f wage s. —The Hat Trade.—We are sorry to have to announce that the hat trade of Denton is in a most de pressed state. Very litt l e is doin g in either felts or silks, and a majority of the inhabitants, who are entirely de pendent upon the hutting business, are consequently in the greatest distress—in fact, a great many are receiving elief as paupers. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. -maw NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION.—It is currently ru moured in Westmoreland that the 1 ork and Carlisle Railway, now amalgamated with the Yorkshire and Lilasgow 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, t o Ki rkby Stephen, in Westmoreland. i Theimm ense tunnel of t wo m i les in length, which would be required on Stainmore Fell, through a strata of solid limestone rock, is, we un d erstand, now looked upon as 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 44 miles, close by Brongh to Hall Garth, where they turn again to the south-west, and run into the original line at Smarldale (at w hi c h p l ace the York shire and Glasgow Union line, adopted by the united companies, is crossed), and proce ed for ward thereon to Tebay, near Orton, joining the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway there. The adoption of the course, however, is found to be quite imprac ticable, owing to the steepness of the gradients over S ta inmore, 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 tra ffi c, but as a passenger line, and th e benefit alone which it would have rendered the cow of Westmoreland and the southern districts of Cumberj 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 6id. 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. Mickleth wait, at Taverham. The parish COB stable and his myrmidons drove them off and lodged them in custody. JOINT STOCK BANKS. Australasia National Prov.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 24. 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., lf. 27c. on wheat and If. 36c. on rye. 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 be 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 is likewise authorised to prohibit the exportation of flour, groats, all kinds of bread and biscuits, and oatmeal. the The ob Government October, may, if circumstances per - 1 m 1847, susp en d th e presen t la i w 6t6 Aasrt. beforefa3. Ist ras exportation is concerned. It may also prolong it %%holly 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 un 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 meas ure has caused a better tone o n 'Change, and appears to give more room for speculation. DEATH BY HYDROFHOBIA. . OF MR. C ONEY, OF ica p r r a o g m e i , si l n 'u g ck . l o e u e n h g ur c h, Gloucester, THE 73D REGIMENT. — The obituary of the Mozning Post of Monday contained ?,.notice of otffihecermoeflatnhceh7o3lyd on d h the oe l fn s l‘t t 'i h r lConey,inst. the Vicarage, t appears, from the Bristol Times, that Mr. Coney had just entered the army, having joined his regiment in Ireland little more than two months ago. While there, and about six weeks s i nce , h e was one morning playing with a little fa vour i te dog w h en the latter bit his lip. The bite was rather a severe one and Mr. Coney felt uneasy and. nervous about it, and, by the advice of his friends, applied to the Horse Guards for leave of absence, which, after 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 h eart il y, an d h a d 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 terribl e f orce , and continued, with a few composed intervals, until Sunday morning, when they terminated his extr eme agony . He was attended by the most eminent medical men frum Bristol, but skill, science, and medicine were all perfectly impotent against the mysterious and awful malady. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, Nov. 27.—Buyers generally have exhibited a good deal of caution in their purchases during the past fortnight, evidently from a desire to learn the result of the pending London sales, before operating to any 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 Halls 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 MARKET, Tirunsper.—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 MORNING.—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 -1 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 aro 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 month ago. NOTTINGHAM—The condition of the 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 :n 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 per cent., having so far encouraged smiths, that they make their onn machines. Some of the Nottingham smiths have two establishments. —.Nottingham Review, yesterday. 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 entire 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 6' 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 !") 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 barr iers, amidst the most discordant yells and other marks of die 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 Quadrille"—" Jullien's new Police Polka," &c. Ultimately the time arrived for the British Army Qua drille, the noise of which:completely drowned all attempt at further interruption, and the theatre having become considerably thinned, the first part terminated, but not until nearly an hour after its proper time. A general feeling appeared to prevail that the number of persons admitted ought to have been more limited. THE COUNT DE PtIONTEMOLIN.—His Royal High ness, we are informed, usually spends the morning in transacting business, and afterwards receives visitors. Besides several distinguished foreigners, his Royal High ness received yesterday the Earl of Charleville, Captain Ryder Burton, R.N., and Mr. Peter Borthwick, M.P. His Royal Highness, accompanied b♦ the Marquis di Villafranca, General Don Juan Montenegro, Colonel Merry, and Mr. Borthwick, inspected yesterday the works of the new Houses of Parliament, and was pleased to express much interest and admiration at the design and progress of this great national work. WiLson's ENTERTAINMENTS.—Mr. Wilson gave one of his entertainments on the songs of Scotland, on Wednesday night, at the Eastern Institution, for the benefit of the Tower Hamlets' Dispensary, to a densely crowded audience. We understand that there were nearly 1,400 within the walls. Mr. Wilson was in splendid voice, and the applause which greeted him was incessant. DISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN A RAILWAY PACEAGE.—NOTTINGHAM, FRIDAY.--AbOHt nineteen days ago, a wicker basket was booked at the railway station in this town, and was sent off in a regular way by train to London. The person bringing the basket particularly requested that it might not be placed out side the carriage, nor crushed, and if possible it might be put inside upon a seat along with the passengers, as it was to be conveyed with great care. The parcels office being at the time rather thronged, the porter, Willoughby, did not take particular notice of the per son giving him the directions, but to the best of his recollection it was a female; rather low in stature, and of a dark complexion. Yesterday (Thursday) the basket having been refused was brought back to the station by the mail train arriving at half•past two o'clock in the morning, and, according to custom, when an owner for a parcel cannot be found, Willoughby opened the basket, when, to his utter amazement, he found a dead infant. Its mouth appeared to have had considerable moisture in it, which had become quite mouldy and green. Underneath the infant was a quantity of cloths and straw, and a letter addressed to " W. J. Smith, Esq., Suffolk." . The letter was in a decent handwriting, and from a young female in a village within six miles of Nottingham, and after requesting that the father of the infant would take care of it, warned him against seducing any one as he had done her. The basket with the child rod letter Ivoye, immediately handed over to the police. iLECTION or A NEW inStroll FOR ARGYLL AND THE ISLES. (From the Ldinhurgh Chronicle.) In obedience to a mandate from the Primus, the clergy of Argyll and the Isles met at Oban, on the 141 h inst., to elect a new Bishop. There were present the Very Reverend James Paterson, M.A., Dean of Ar gyll and the Isles, the Reverends Samuel Hood, of Rothsay ; M'Lennan, of Fort William ; D. M'Kenzie, of Portnacroish ; ar.d H. Montgomery Moore, of Stor noway (Lewis). The Reverend Samuel Hood, of Rothsay, opened the proceedings, and at considerable length pointed out the necessity of electing a pious and good man, and at the same time one who was a gentle man in habits and connexions, and who would carry with him, and exercise an influence and respect worthy of his high station both in the church and in the world, and, if possible, one who had the means of properly sustaining himself, and, at the same time, of aiding rtal assisting his poorer brother. He admitted it was desirable that the individual should possess a confpetent knowledge of Gaelic, but .a person thus qualified was .not to be found among themselves, and when they considered the circumstances under which they were assembled, it became the In to consider whether a lo.owledge of Gaelic on the pre sent occasion was absolutely indispensable. They were aware that the Right Reverend Bishop Low intended to assign the whole o. his income as Bishop of Moray, and Argyll, and the Isles, as a present provision for their new bishop, and that at his (Bishop Low's) death, he meant to give the sum of 8,000/. to the diccese of Argyll and the Isles, as a permanent endowment; and in msktng this munificent intention known, he had at the same time recommended the Rev. Alexander Ewing, of Forres, as bis successor. Mr. Rood asked whether they were not bound to take such circumstances into their serious consideration, and decide (perfectly free as they were to act, even without such a recommendation) whether there were any serious objections to Mr. Ewing which ought to induce them to reject him. He was well spoken of in the Church and out of the Church as a good man—as a gentleman, with ample means, as far as regarded this world, to be useful. As to his knowledge of Gaelic, what was to prevent his acquiring as much as was needful for his public ministrations? The present Bishop of St. David's in two years after his consecration acquired a sufficient knowledge of the Welsh language to enable him to preach to the people in Welsh—and there was no reason why Mr. Ewing should not do as much. But suppose he might not make such progress as Dr. Thirlwall in the acquisition of a language, would such a supposition, if they had no other objection against him, justify them in refusing to elect him as their bishop? Mr. Hook certainly thought not. The Very Reverend Dean PATERSON next rose, and said he could not but concur with what Mr. Hood had said; and, after a few remarks upon the subject, he proposed that they should elect the Rev. Alexander Ewing as their Bishop. Mr. HOOD seconded the motion; and, after a good dead of subsequent discussion, Mr. Ewing was elected as the Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, and the meeting was then dissolved. 'I he reverend gentlemen afterwards dined together at the Caledonian hotel in the greatest harmony. The new Bishop, we understand, is likely to build a church, and make Oban his permanent residence. This will diffuse quite a new spirit in the place and the immediate neighbourhood, and we have no doubt will prove a public benefit. CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA. Towards the close of last month, the Manchester Com mercial Association addressed a letter to the Directors of the East India Company on the cultivation of the cotton plant in India. In that letter they drew attention to the increased consumption of cotton in this country, and ex pressed their fears that owing to the diversion of land and labour to other products, the production of the ar ticle in America would rather diminish than increase. In their opinion, " a crisis in the cotton trade appears to impend;' and they are therefore extremely anxious that the Court of Directors should, by energetic, liberal, and comprehensive measures, clear the ground in India for the tiee exercise of British enterprise and intelligence in the culture of that most necessary article to this country, and especially to Manchester and the surround ing district. The association point out the prominent obstacles to increased and remunerative production, which are—the Government assessment or land-tax, amounting, in two presidencies, to seventy-five per cent. on the pioduce; the want of a regular local market for the ryot; the badness of the existing roads; the pressure of local transit dues; dishonest packing, and the igno rant or careless use of the saw-gin. The experiments of the East India Company have, they think, proved that American cotton san be grown in India, some of the earliest sown fields having this season produced 7001bs. per acre; and they contend, on the authority of expe rienced parties, that the cultivation " ought now to be transferred to the native ryot and merchant, who are prepared to take it up, and who could produce it at least fifty per cent. cheaper than the company." In reply to this letter, the Commercial Association have received the following communication:— " East India House, Nov. 17, 1846. " Sir—l am commanded by the Court of Directors of the East India Company to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 20th ultimo, stating that fears are entertained that the diversion of labour in America from cotton cultivation, for the purpose of increasing the production of sugar and other articles of food, will bring about a crisis in the cotton trade seriously affecting the manufacturer and operative in the northern districts of England, and urging, on this and various other grounds, ' • --- the great importance of ex t en di ng an d improving the cultivation of the cotton plant in India, by the removal of all obstacles that present themselves to an increased ail remunerative production, by the establishment of local markets, and the construction of roads; and fur ther pointing out the frauds that coktinue to he practised by the natives of India, for the purpose of increasing tile weight of the cotton; lAkewise the injury to the staple by an unskilful use of the saw-gin; and also re questing on the part of the Manchester Commercial As sociation, certain information regarding the quantity of cotton ordered by the Court of Directors to be forwarded to England, th e arr i va l of which, you state, is expected with much interest. " In reply, lam commanded to acquaint ycu, that the interest the Court of Directors have for many years manifested in the important subject to which you have drawn their attention has in no degree abated, and that there is reason to conclude that the exertions of the go vernments of India to improve and extend the cultivation of the cotton plant, and to introduce machinery for ra pidly and effectively cleaning the cotton, are likely to be attended with the best results. " I am commanded to add, that in order to test the success of the experiments which have been undertaken, the Court have given directions for shipment to England of cotton to the extent of 5,000 or 6,000 bales, if pro curable, from each presidency, in the expectation that the attention of capitalists in this country and in India will be thereby drawn to the subject, and that they will be induced to take advantage of the important improve ments in the cultivation and preparation of East India cotton, effected through the measures which have been introduced for that object, at considerable expense, by the East India Company.—kam, sir, your most obedient, • humble servant, " JAMES A. MELVILL. " James A. Turner, Esq." —Manchester Examiner. AERONAUTICS IN GERMANY.—Mr. George Green, son of Mr. Charles Green, the celebrated aeronaut, has just returned from Germany, where he has made several ascents in his new balloon, " Grosz Behren," so named from his having descended on that celebrated plain, on bis first experiment at Berlin ; he afterwards visited Leipsic, Dresden, and some other places, concluding by an ascent from Hanover, on which occasion rather a droll accident eccurred. We extract the account from the VoMs Blast of the 1I th instant, by one of the voyagers:—" The ropes were slipped at a quarter-past three o'clock; the superb machine took a south-westerly direction, and was soon afterwards lost in the clouds, whence, after a delightful voyage of an hour's duration, it descended. At its first appearance, and whilst still at a great altitude, a number of boors had assembled to witness the strange sight of what they imagined to be a monster bird, and one of them fetched his loaded rifle, to have a shot at it ; but the voyagers were luckily saved from such a catastrophe, by the rapid descent of the balloon undeceiving them as to its character; it was only after considerable hesitation that any of the spectators would venture near the machine ; but at length some lads, more courageous than their older fellows, were made to comprehend what was required of them, and , they seizing the ropes, soon drew it to a place suitable for a safe landing. The greatest altitude attained in this ascent was 14,000 feet." The balloon seems to have excited the greatest astonishment everywhere, from its enormous dimensions. Mr. Green has been accompa nied in some of his trips by very distinguished per sonages. The Swedish ambassadors, amongst others, ascended with him from Berlin. CAUSES OF HASTE AND CARELESSNESS IN BUILD ING.—We have on various occasions poi nted out the im perfectptherisforsmtaetde in England, and the causes w manner in which brichkilcahy have ceased i of things. " Operatives, speaking. generally, i l n l a g v s led no t w o over the ground, and very often this is the case with t heir masters too." " Hasty bad to feel interested in the pr oduction of g ood work ; all capable of work, h • i n d u ced by competition and the as become so much the habit of our bricklayers, that it is di ffi cult to find men operations of spe culative builders, producing superior work; or, at all events , it is difficult W induce them to abandon their hasty , careless mode of proceeding, and exercise the skill they possess." Us e begets indifference : whatever has answered the purpose once, will do so again, it is thought; and so men go on, house after house, in the same defective course, without once thinking of its inefficiency, or making any efforts at improvement. The wonder is, not that an accident does occasionally, too often, indeed, occur, but that structures so raised should stand at all.— The Builder. EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE OF A RAILWAY EMBANEIIENT.—A very extraordinary event has just taken place in the works connected with the Scottish Central Railway. It was necessary to erect an embank ment fifty feet high in a field near Allan Bridge, where the railway was to pass. The works accordingly com menced, and many thousand loads of earth were piled w p o a s s e f o o u f n a e d t q o u ir havein g d s i o s l a i p d p i t e y a , r e b d u , t w o t h v i s in the requisite place, and the w or k was l eft for the pur thiteinegxeietptairninof i n t few feet. On inquiry it was found that the field had originally been a bug, and the weight of the soil neces sary to form the embankment had broken through the external solid earth.

Among those who have lately visited the salon, may be mentioned the Earl of Uxbridge, Viscount Ranelagb, Viscount Cantelupe, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lord Charles Thynne, Lord Cecil Forester, Lord Harry Vane, Lord Loftus, Sir Henry Hualock, Sir W.

RICHARDSON V. BARCLAY. 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 Lecame 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 more 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. Ki , n,wLEs consented to a verdict for the plaintiff fur 251., with the leave of the Learned Judge to enter a nonsuit on the question of liability under the circum stances. CORDAN V. 3IERRICK. 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. REEVE V. DAYRELL. The defendant is one of the sheriffs of Buckingham, and the action was brought against him by the plaintiff, Mr. Reeve, a cloth dealer, carrying on business i❑ Snow bill, for furnishing a false return to a writ of fi. fa. with respect to the goods and chattels of a tailor named Pater, at Stony Stratford. A distress was levied on the effects of Pater at the instance of the plaintiff; and the sheriff returned a reply to the writ that he bad no effects. A few articles of furniture were on his premises, but it appeared they had been transferred to his brother-in-law by a bill of sale, for a sum of money which he had advanced to him. This was not proved to the satisfaction of the jury, and they found a verdict for the plaintiff for 191. 165., believing the bill of sale to be a fraudulent one. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) HAIGH AND ANOTHER V. JAIINAC 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 subsequently 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. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) POOLEY V. TAYLOR AND ANOTHER.-TAE WESTERN GAS COMPANY. This was an action brought by Mr. Pooley, patent weighing machine maker, of Liverpool, to recover 231. 17s. 6d. for a weighing machine furnished to the London Western Gaslight Company, of which the de fendants were directors. The machine had been ordered by Mr. Radley, who was employed by the company to perform some chemical experiments, and who had re ferred plaintiff to the secretary for payment. When the bill was sent in, the officers of the company denied that they had authorised Radley to give the order, and the present action was in consequence brought. The evidence as to the authority of Radley to order the machine was of a somewhat conflicting character. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 23/. 17s. 6d., the amount claimed. This verdict involves several other claims which are made against the company. 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. Ballantine 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 ezcape, 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 WILKINS addressed the fury 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 Yeung', the proprietor of The .Sun, both of whom gave him the highest character for humanity and mildness of disposition. in prisonerTe vhe evidence, n weea r , s n Leadae Notn d JUDGE t Gi)euGuilty e y c o a rr p ea i t t u u fr l e a nl t oe e dn d y ,a the u et r facts ti l at that saottaf the assualt.—Sentence was deferred. DISCHARGE OF BAIL.-Mr. iIIIDDLESTONE 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 Sept em b er , F au lk ner too k hi s trial, and was acquitted. Fabian, on that occasion, did not appal-, nor was he called upon, and these circumstances Counsel thought constituted a sufficient ground for the discharge of the bail, and for refraining from estreating the recognizances. Ott the several occasions when the trial was postponed the bail had been enlarged by the Court, and to these arrangements the sureties were no party. They, in fact, bad only engaged to produce the prisoner in June, and of the trial in September they had no notice. The JUDGE thought that the only power which he possessed was to respite the recognisances until the man was produced, for if he did not appear they would be clearly estreated. 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 without reference. Indeed, 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 wounding Louisa Childs, with intent to murder her. Air.
