SURREY SESSIONS, April 13. (Before J. E. JOHNSON, Esq., and a Bench of Ma- gistrates.) MG - HATAY RUBBERY.- Theresa Kensell, 32, Ed ward Conolly, 36, and Robert Edwards, 43, were indicted fcr stealing a silver watch from the person of George Wyatt, at Lambeth. Mr, Harrison prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock, in structed by Mr. IV. F. Horne, defended the pri- soners. Prosecutor stated that he was a solicitor's clerk, and about eight o'clock of the evening of the 3d of March, he went down Kennington-lane to meet a friend near the Windmill nublic-house. While stand ing there, he pulled his watch out of his pocket as certain the time, and after he had replaced i t in his pocket the female prisoner came up an d accosted him. She asked him to cross over to Esher-street, and hav ing to go that way he did so. He then stopped talk ing to her, when she suddenly pulled his waistcoat and ran away. Conolly then came up to him and asked him the way to Vauxhall, and while he was telling him, Edwards cline up and called out he was directing him the wrong way. They both went down a byn street , when witness's suspicion was aroused, and on putting his hand to his waistcoat poc k e t he missed his watch. He instantly went to the police• station and gave information of the robbery. He saw the prisoners eight or ten days afterwards in custody, and instantly identi fied them. Richard Thurle said he saw the prisoners together on the same evening of the robbery in the New Cut , going towards the Victoria Theatre. Sergeant Goff, No. 8 L, said that on the 613. of March he saw the female and Edwards in Tower street. Having received information of the robbery he took them into custody, when he sent for the pro secutor, who came and identified them. He knew them to live together as man and wife for some time. Sergeant Coombs, 10 L, said he took Conolly into custody on the Bth of March, when he said he had known the other prisoner some time, but had not seen: them for a fortnight. Mr. CHARNOCK made an ingenious defence, con tending that the male prisoners were unknown to each other, and that the complainant must have dropped his watch after he had looked to see the time. The jury consulted for a few minutes, and returned a verdict of Guilty against all of them. Sergeant Romain, 14 L, was then called forward by the Chairman, and, being sworn, stated that he was present at the December sessions for that county, and saw Edwards sentenced to seven years transpor tation for stealing two gold rings. Hunt, police-constable, 34 M, said he was present at the Old Bailey sessions in 1849, when the female prisoner was sentenced to twelve months for stealing a watch under similar circumstances. Conolly had been summarily convicted several times. The CHAIRMAN said that as Conolly had never been tried in a court of justice before, they (the magis trates) would give him a chance to reform, therefore, they should merely sentence him to three months at Wandsworth : Edwards having been previously transported, they should sentence him to ten years' transportation, and the female to seven years' trans portation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Miss Annabella Bowra, a little girl about ten years of age, the daughter of a retired gentleman, living at 4, Hill-street, Peckham, was placed at the bar before Alderman Saioaaons, charged under the following aggravated circumstances : Miss Marianne Robinson, of St. James's-terrace, Camden-town, said—l was walking with my sister yesterday afternoon in St. Paul's-churchyard, and while we were looking in at Allan's window my at tention was directed to the prisoner by two ladies, who said, "Look, that child has just cut your mantle with a pair of scissors; follow her, she is running ' away. 1c is that child with the red ribbons." I ran after her with my sister, who stopped the prisoner. The latter began to cry, and before .1 accused her she said, "I did not cut the mantle," and at the same time she was putting a pair of scissors into her pocket. I then gave her into custody. The ladies told me that prisoner had cut another lady's shawl in a similar manner only a few minutes previously. Mrs. Day, complainant's sister, corroborated this statement. Miss Louisa Messenger, of Ebenezer-place, Shackle well, was in St. Paul's-churchyard between three and four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and had my shawl cut in several places while I was looking in at Allan's window. My mother was with me, and first saw the holes in my shawl, which were cut through four thicknesses. The little girl was then in custody. Alderman SXLOSIONS—What is the value of the mantle and the shawl? Miss Robinson—The mantle is of silk velvet, and embroidered in front and round the bottom. I give 4/. 10 , . for it last autumn. It is an expensive one, and will wear seven years. Miss Messenger—l paid 1/. 13. for my shawl in the beginning of last winter. In answer to a question from the Alderman, the complainants said the articles could not be repaired, as the pieces were cut completely out. David Hach, 371, said—l took prisoner into cus tody, and she raid "Idid not do it ; my cousin did it." I asked her where her cousin was, and she sail " I don't kilow, for she gave me the scissors and ran away directly she did it." I went to her cousin's address in the Old Jewry and saw her cousin, hut she denied all knowledge of the transaction. Tne officer then produced a paper containing a great num ber of pieces of various kinds of material, which was seen to have been thrown away by the cousin as .eon as the prisoner was given into custody, and which showed that a system had been carried on by one of the girls of wilfully cutting and injuring ladies' shawls, mantles, and dresses ; even g entlemen's costs did not appear to have escaped the work of the scissors. Alderman SALOMONS—How old is the prisoner's cousin? Prisoner—She is fifteen years of age. The prisoner's father attended, and said he hoped the Alderman would not punish his daughter, for there was no evidence to show that she had actually cut the mantle and shawl, and he was confident of her innocence. Alderman SAnomoris said it was a most malicious trick, aria he as could only mark his opinion of the case by inflicting severe a a penalty as the circumstances would adolit of: to b thoug:ht the prisoner must be a very vicious child The father said tnatetritty of such an act. very respectably, and vv ., child had been brought up once a fortnight, and he thought not in her town more than she ought not to be made to suffer for what a cousin had done. whothat in the absence of the Alderman Saa.omolss said testimony of the two ladiessaw the prisoner run away, he must treat her as an accompli, and 15s. for the that 21. 5 , , he paid for the mantleace":lol'2", and order shawl, end he considered that aydb muchee n fair allowance for the time the dissatisfied, and would h he maki ng a The father expressed himself Y ver and inquired if he was to have the injured articles on payment of the amounts ordered. Alderman SaLOMON3 said certainly not the d amou nts he had awarded were for the damage, and not to replace the shawl and mantle. After some further delay, occasioned by the father having to send for the money, the Alderman lectured the girl upon the impropriety of her conduct, and the matter was then disposed of upon payment of the amounts ordered. MARYLEBONE. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE. —Yesterday a man named William Shirtlift' was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on the very serious charge of having se ♦erely wounded Henry Foxall, by striking him on the head with a large hammer. Prosecutor, the top of whose head was strapped up with adhesive plaister, deposed that on the previous evening he was in Bailey's beer -shop, Marylebone lane, when the prisoner, who was also there, began quarrelling with another man who was sitting beside him. The landlord laid hold of him (prisoner) to put him out, and at length ejected him, prosecutor having opened the front door at his (the landlord's) request, and in the course of ten minutes prisoner re turned, when, without saying a word, he gave prose cutor, who was gaiety partaking of a half-pint of beer, a tremendous blow on the head with a hammer, thereby inflicting a wound, and causing him to bleed most profusely. lie was for a time quite insensible, and must have fallen from his seat to the floor, had not two persons come immediately to his aid. James Bailey, the landlord, said that on the return of the prisoner to the house, ha (witness) saw him go up in front of prosecutor, and draw from beneath his coat a hammer, with which he struck him (prosecutor) very violent blow• prisoner seemed greatly ex cited, and after he inflicted the injury he rushed out into the street.

ROBBERY OF NOTES BY A SERVANT. —DanieI Herrin.- wa s placed at the bar charged with havin g robbed e lais late master of 151. in bank-notes under the following circumstances : Mr. John Chipp, landlord of the Victoria Tavern, Mornington-road, Regent's-park, deposed that the prisoner was for a short period in his service as pot man, and that on the 26th of September last he (pro secutor) gave him three Si. notes to get changed of Mr. Harris, a butcher, in Munster -street , he did not return, and prosecutor saw nothing since of him until the previous (Monday) evening, when he saw him at the King's Arms, Greenwich, where he had ob tained another situation, and he gave him into cus tody. Turner, 307 R, stated that the prisoner expressed his sorrow for what he had done, and said that having been robbed of 51. of the money, he was ashamed to go back to Mr. Chipp's house. Witness searched him, and found ou him only 6s. 10id. The prisoner, who had not a word to say, stands remanded till next Tuesday, when the depositions will be read over, and he will be sent for trial. ROBBERY OF PLATE.—Thomas Keely was brought up in custody of Inspector Brennan, G division, on the charge of having stolen articles of silver plate, the properly of Mr. Ellis, of the Star and Garter Hotel, Richmond. _ _ _ Mr. Lewis attended for the prosecution. Some witnesses in support of the charge were ex amined, and as the inspector expressed an opinion that he should, if allowed a little time, be able to bring forward more evidence of an important nature, the prisoner was remanded till next Tuesday. WESTMINSTER. Elizabeth Martin and Catherine Callaghan, two dirty looking women, were charged with the follow ing disgraceful conduct : Mrs. Ann Nicholson, a very genteel young person, stated that on the previous evening she was walki n g through Strutton-ground, Westminster, when she was accosted by the two prisoners, one of whom (Martin) inquired whether she wanted to purchase a gold keeper. She immediately replied that she did not, and endeavoured to pass on, but was prevented by the women placing themselves right in front of her. After pressing her to look at the ring, which she refused to do, the prisoner Callaghan suddenly seized her hand, and said, " Let me tell you your fortune ;" and although Martin assured complainant that she was quite able to do so, she declined the offer, and again endeavoured to get away from them, but was unable, owing to Callaghan holding her so firmly in her grasp. Callaghan then pressed her to cross her hand with a piece of silver, at the same time repeating that she would tell her fortune; but com plainant still resisted their importunities, and, declar ing that she had no silver, made another ineffectual effort to get away from them, when Callaghan observed, "You have a ring; cross my hand with that, or give me a handkerchief." Complainant refused, and find ing there was no chance of advancing, endeavoured to escape by receding, but was obliged to desist, finding that, owing to Callaghan's retainining her hold, she should leave her glove and two rings she had on her finger, in all probability, in her hand if she continued her retrogade movement. Callaghan then had the baseness to declare that complainant was getting a living by infamous means, and declared that she would put a , spell upon her so that sh e s h ou ld no t get any money tnat night. A policem a n at th a t moment came in sight, when she gave them into custody. As she left the station they ex p resse d a w i s h that she might tumble down and break her neck. The accused told a very lame story, in the course of which they pretended that Mrs. Nicholson accosted them, and entreated that her fortune might be told, and then, without any provocation, gave them into custody. Martin, however, admitted that she wanted the prosecutrix to have the ring, which had just been purchased for a penny, and which, with a second of a similar description, was found upon the , person of Callaghan. Mr. ARNOLD inquired if anything was known of the accused ? The police replied that Callaghan was known as a low drunkard, and her companion as the common associate of utterers of base coin. Mr. ARNOLD said it was quite evident that in this case they bad confederated in an attempt to defraud by pretending to tell fortunes, and committed them both for one month t o hard labour in the House of Correction. past twelve o'clock, she heard a great noise in the rooms of Mrs. 'Wheeler. It was a scuffling noise, succeeded by a heavy fall. She was at once im pressed with the idea that some mischief had been done, and she ran upstairs calling Mrs. Wheeler by name. She tapped at the door, which was opened by Mr. Wheeler. She asked if Mrs. Wheeler was at home, and he answered very sharply that she was not. His appearance alarmed her, and she ran down to the last witness and told her what she thought. He had something in his hand when he came to the door, but witness did not see what it was. He appeared anxious to conceal it. The scuffling noise lasted about a minute. She heard Mr. Thomas Wheeler come out, and she went upstairs with Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Thompson opened the door, and drew back imme diately, screaming out, " Blood, blood !" She had no doubt that the act was committed by the son, Thomas Wheeler. Lockyer, the police-constable who took the pri soner, proved the fact. His attention was directed to him by another person who followed him. He was walking at a sharp pace, and had a bag in one hand and a coat and stick in the other. (The witness then proceeded to detail the admissions of the prisoner, which have already appeared in print.) Upon him was found a tableknife, with the blade bound up in rags. Ile was asked if that was the knife he com mitted the act with, and he replied, "No; that is the knife I meant for myself." Witness left him at the station, and went to the hcuse where the murder was committed. Inspector Cowling produced a carving knife and hatchet covered with blood. The room was also covered with blood, and he saw in the basin a quantity of water tinged with blood, as if some person had washed his hands in it. The head was not lying on the table where the dinner was, but nearer to the room door. Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, assistant to Mr. Berrell, a surgeon, stated that on Saturday last he was called upon to see the deceased woman. He went to No. 1, Durham-place, and upstairs to the top front room. He saw there the body of a woman lying on her chest, the legs extended towards the door. The body was then warm, but pulsation had ceased. He did not notice that she was decapitated, and his attention was first drawn to the fact by one of the women crying out that there was a head on the table. He applied the head to the trunk, and was satisfied that they were parts of the same body. He had examined the spinal column, and found that the separation had taken place about the first cervical vertebra. The bone had been chopped through, and the ligaments divided with some cutting instrument. There was a wound on the top of the head which cut through the scalp and bone. Could not say whether death was caused by decapitation or the blow. The cut which divided the ligaments had been carried round in a sawing manner, and, the two extremities of the cut not meeting, a cross incision had been made. Was of opinion that the fir s t blow was given with the hatchet. The CORONEX then summed up the evidence with great care. He said that he had carefull y avoided touching upon the state of mind of t he p risoner, as in all cases where injury was inflicted upon another, and death resulted, that court could not take cognizance i of the mental condition of th e person i flicting that injury. In cases where persons destroyed themselves it bad the power to inquire as to their mental condi tion at the time of the act, and that was the only ex ceptional case. It remai ned for them simply to de cide from the facts ad duced whether Elizabeth Wheeler came by her death at the hand of her son, Thomas Cathie Wheeler. The sta te of his mind would be investigated by another tribunal. The jury. after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Thomas Cathie Wheeler." It will be recollected that Lockyer, the officer who apprehended the wretched matricide Wheeler, in his evidence before Mr. Norton, on Saturday last, stated that the prisoner, upon being removed to the station house, desired him to be very particular in taking care of some letters which he would find in his mo ther's room. The officer found a number of docu ments in the prisoner's handwritingp;oanreed very,of which the following is a verbatim copy, ape re cently written, and was in a distinct legible hand : " June, 1847.—1 start from London, London Docks, for Bahia, South America, as clerk for a Jersey house there, in their own ship, the only pas s enger. The same year, Nov. 29 or 30th, I reach England back again, the situation not suiting me. I was five months gone —49 days' passage out, 57 home, and one month there. I land at Falmouth, December. I came to London by mail and G. W. Rail, direct to my father's house. The first night at home I am very well, just as tho' I had never left the country; but the next day or one after that night, I walked over to an uncle at the West-end, just to let him know I came back. I take tea there be fore a large uncommonly hot fire (from which I did take the precaution to remove to the far end of he room), and almost immediately after I an obliged to rush to the private place. I leave the house on my way home, pass into the open air, and I then find my whole system changed, and that I must have been poisoned. I tell my father that I'm poisoned the next day or so. He says, You're mad, it's the change of climate.' My mother replies the same. Well, after some time, and a great deal of unpleasantness has passed between us all (my father, mother, and sister), and I have charged them with conspiracy against me, I suffer myself to be taken to Bethlehem Hospital. Nine months after my mother and sister take me out, after a great deal of my entreaty and trouble. My father has died in the mean while, three months after I was there, that I don't see any more of him, neither does he come to see me while I am there, which he was well enough to do, I think ; and I go to live with a relative, who had offered to keep me for a few weeks, until I could get something for myself. I stay with them five weeks, and I am then obliged to go before a magistrate and request to be sent to some lunatic hospital in the country. lam sent to Wandsworth. I stop a twelve month there, hoping to get well. Then, after more dreadful miserable trouble and perseverance, my mother takes me home to live with her, February, 1851; this is 1852. A fine time I have had with her. She is kill ing me daily with her tongue and temper. As to go before a magistrate to get sent to another lunatic hospital, I won't do. I have had quite sufficient of those horrible places; besides, if I was to go to lay any charge against her, the woman is such a fearful liar that the charge would rebound back upon myself. So, therefore, I bear this dreadful fate, day after day, till I shall now very soon be dead. You'll say, why do you not commit suicide? but that Ido not like to do. The case is clear to me that I fell into a trap, and this uncle, Mr.—, was the prime cause to be revenged upon me for some slight I had put upon him. He answers an adver tisement I had put in tee Times' paper for a clerk's place, or ge:s to do so, the people, by-the-by were no more in want of a clerk than they were in wan: of a black man, as they can get thousands (clerks) at Bahia. It's a regular plan to get young men to go out as clerks, and then annoy them till they are dead, or mad, or some thing of that. There is something about it, too, of a Catholic combination, for these people only look out for decent-looking persons to go out to South America, and Igo out unsuspectingly. No sooner do I get there (there is no running away from the place; you have to get a passport before you land) than a low-minded per secution sets in. I am insulted in all manner of ways, and after a month there I find it not possible to live with them, or in the place at all. The treatment would have drove me mad. A regular dead set per secution at you, and if I had stopped there mad I should have gone, and there is plenty of places I dare say to put you away, never to be heard of more. Depend upon it it den's take much scheming to say that a man dies under the tropics. Well, I bargain with the captain that brought me out to take me back. I had some clothes to offer. After great difficulty he and the firm consent. I agreed to pay the passage money back. After fourteen days at sea the captain plays the very devil with me. I found I had jumped out of the frying pen into the fire. I expected every day to be thrown overboard, but after thirty-six or forty days of deathly suspense and anxiety I land at Falmouth. I was too grateful to make any charge against bias (although that is what I ought to have done), as I could well see I was the victim to some clique or system. Four years or more has thus gone on, and I feel it to be my duty to put it before the public, if I can, to make the best of it they can, to let them see how easy and possible it is to impose upon a man, and rob him of his existence conjointly by sea and land, and by your relatives, too. I have heard of the remark, Oh, save me from my friends.' I have been the victim of the most dreadful system it is possible to suppose; in fact, it is too subtle to be supposed.

They were face to face, and about six inches from each other. The legs of the min were found tied together, and he also bad a ligature round his throat. The jury having viewed the bodies in Putney Churchyard, returned to the inquest-room, and heard evidence of the finding of the deceased. Elizabeth Spankhurst was afterwards examined, and she deposed that she had been married to the de ceased, Nathaniel John Spankhurst, for about sixteen months. The two boys were his sons by a former wife, and there was a little girl still living. About two months after their marriage the deceased attempted to cut her throat with a razor , an d h e had on various occas ions threatened to destroy her and himself. Latterly his business had been dull, and he had given way to habits of intemperance. When intox icated he had frequently ill-used her, and had given her black eyes. He bad also th rea t ene d t o t a k e the children from her. Witness missed her husband and the two boys on Wednesday, the 7th inst., and she heard nothing more of them until she received the following letter : " April 7.

I hope you tempergirif and I should have been or the future, and you have no one to thank but yourself for this, and I hope that y o u will do well. God bles s y ou b o th f o r ever. N. S." The witness further stated, i n re ply to the coroner, th a t the deceased bad been a very un happy man for some time past, and she had been compelled to put all the knives and other weapons out of his way, as he had several times threatened to take her life. His business had been very bad indeed, and his being embarrassed had affected his mind. He had always treated her cruelly, and had often struck her when she interfered to prevent his violence towards the children, he had some time back been under medical treatment for nervous fever. He was a man much given to drink, and when intoxicated was as if deranged. Henry Hall, apprentice to the deceased, confirmed the evidence of the wife as to his drinking habits, and said that when in liquor he was in the habit of abusing and speaking against her, but that when sober he spoke very highly of her;to everybody. When he left home on Wednesday he was quite sober, and appeared very rational. Mr. Superintendent Bicknell said that after making every inquiry, be could not learn that any cry for help, or as of a person in distress, had been heard by any of the constables on duty near High-bridge on the Thursday night or the Friday morning. The coroner summed up the evidence, and the jury returned separate verdicts, to the effect that the de ceased children, Nathaniel John, and William, had been wilfully murdered by their father, Nathaniel Joseph Spankhurst, and that the latter afterwards committed suicide by drowning himself, being at that time of unsound mind. This melancholy occurrence caused a painful sen sation in the neighbourhood, and a large crowd as sembled in the vicinity of the inquest room during the inquiry. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT LYNN. LYNN, NORFOLK, APRIL 13.—An inquest was held on the body of John Daw this day, before Mr. E. Press, the county coroner, when it was clearly proved that John Daw had for a number of years, at different times, suffered from mental debility, so much so as at times to appear like a madman. He had left several situations in consequence of the diseased state of bis mind, but all was kept secret from his present employer, to whom he had for three years been a faithful servant, and so much so, that he bad consulted his private medical man (Nlr. Cotton) on the previous Monday to attend him, which he did, but did not consider him in a very bad state, although he had afterwards recommended that he should have a change of scene and air, in the hope that it would be the means of recovering him from his hypochon driac state of mind, which would soon degenerate into insanity, so as to cause him to commit some dreadful crime. At the inquest several witnesses were examined, but the jury were unanimously of opinion that John Daw. being in a state of insanity, did slay Honour Daw, his wife, a❑d Martin Dew, his son, and conse quently returned a verdict to that effect. THE SUN, WORSHIP-STREET. James Illackiin, a tall muscular young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with a determined attempt to murder his brother, Mr. Edward Macklin , a painter and glazier, carrying on business in James-street, St. Luke's. The complainant stated that the prisoner, who had filled various respectable situations, from each of which he had been successively discharged in conse quence of his violent temper and irregular habits, had resided for some time past in his house, and occa sionally afforded him assistance in his business. On the preceding afternoon he entrusted the prisoner with sufficient money for the purchase of two pounds of hair of a peculiar description which he used in his trade ; but observing when the article was brought home that it fell considerably short of the quantity he had ordered, he mentioned the circumstance to his brother, who insisted upon having it weighed, which was accordingly done, when it was found to be at least half a pound deficient. Without making further allusion to the subject, witness proceeded into the parlour, after intimating that tea was waiting, and was followed there by the prisoner, who instantly rushed towards the table, from which he caught up a long, sharp-pointed knife, and exclaiming with an oath that he would have his life, made a violent thrust at his left breast. On seeing his arm raised witness rapidly dropped down on his knees, an d th e p o int of the knife passed over his shoulder a n d s t ruc k th e door behind him with such force as to bend the blade as it now ap peared. The moment he recovered his feet the pri soner, who had placed himself between him and the door, made a second blow at him with the knife, and having no other means of escape, he hastily threw up the window, and, leaping out into the street, made the best of his way to the station-house to procure assist ance. On reaching the end of Featherstone-street he encountered a policeman, to whom he was communi cating the particulars of the outrage, when the pri soner suddenly presented himself, with the knife in his hand, and declaring, with an oath, " that he would plunge it into his heart," made another stab at him, but his arm was arrested in its descent by the con stable, who succeeded, with some difficulty, in wrest ing the weapon from him, and took him into custody. Police-constable Ashly, G 228, fully corrobated the latter part of the complainant's evidence, and he added that when the charge was taken down at the station-house, the prisoner exhibited the most ranco rous and vindictive feelings towards his brother, and since his arrival at the court he had repeatedly threatened his life, and declared " that he should die for him upon the scaffold." On being asked if he wished to say anything in answ er to the charge , the prisoner sullenly replied, that he should reserve what he had to say for another occasion.

The Univers has the following on the violation of the Sabbath and the religious fete days, with the ap parent sanction of the Government, after an official notification that they should be respected by every branch of the public administration. It says— " We recur with regret to a grave matter which we have already spoken of. In spite of the circulars of the Ministers of the Interior and of Public Works, the a dministration continues to violate the repose of the Sabbath. Workmen were busy on Easter Sun day as on other Sundays. Ono of our readers points out to U 3 works executed at the angles of the Place du Pawl a.,n, and which certainly were not of an urgent character; another person informs us that workmen were also employed in the Rue Castiglione. By the official circulars, the Government has itself de clared that such facts are deplorable, and yet they are constantly renewed. Whence comes it to pass that there is such a difference beteen the words and the acts? We entertain no doubt of the sincerity of the Govern ment; in ordering that the works executed at the ex pense of the state, of the departments, and of the com munes should be suspended on the Sunday, it expressed a well-considered and absolute intention. It is conse quently the inferior agents who are guilty of this scandal, and who treat with mockery alike the orders of the Government and the laws of the church. We do not want to seek at present who are those agents, for we wish to avoid all personal accusation; but wo must again express a hope that the Government will got itself obeyed." We find in the Pays and the Assemble(' Nationale articles against the revolutionary league which has been got up in the United States by M. Kindel and other German democratic Socialists. The Pays has the following on this subject : " We neither fear this ridiculous government, organized on the other side the Atlantic, nor its armies, nor its finance=. Society at present has need of peace and secu rity; tho late events accomplished in France have shown that this want is felt as deeply and as energetically higher classes; it will not allo w i tself to b e l e d awa y by any of those preachers of war an d d i stur b ance w ho amongst the workmen and th e p easants as amongst t h e wish to throw the world into fresh convulsions. But if the revolutionary government has not in our eyes any principle of force and success, it is not the less true that it is about to get up agitation, and prevent the restora tion of calm in that Europe which has been so sadly disturbed during the last fifty years. These attem pts, which are almost always f o ll owed by defeat, w ill have for result to arm European G overnments w i t h grea t er severities. Cannot the inc orr i g i ble promoters o f perma nent revolution see that eve r y effort of demagogy is fatal to liberty, and in rendering th e r i ght of a lega l govern ment to defend itself more and more leg i t i mate , it ne cessarily impels it to ri gours which no man o f sense could reasonably reproa c h i t for? In conc l us i on , we may ask ourselves wheth er the revolutionary govern ment has a possibility of forming itself as it pro puses. Between a project and the execution of it there is a considerable distance. Will the Govern ment of the United States permit the establishment of an organized power, having itsdisposal soldiers which might threaten d the the repose an with the internal affairs o l f t Europe, ex istence of the European Governments? We think not. Some months since the Congress at Washington re sounded with very viol 0 speakers pro claimed the duty the of American Union to occupy itself resources and and impelled it to thus violate the principle o f n on-interference in the internal affairs of other states. These i m p rudent re marks, it is tr ue , f ound but can it be believed that, if the Gov no echo; _ . U ted States tolerates ernment of the nt tho definitive constituti on of the Revolutio nar y Lea g ue, th it will not exp ose itself to t h e energetic remonstrances of the European powers?

Genoa, 10th inst . . " The dPpartur e of the Prince of Canino from Ci v it a Vecchia embarked, d resse d as a co mmon aeon:tan, QA beigcl the quite as extraordinary as his arrival. lie commercial steamer Industry, bound for Marseilles, via Bastia. The French Government had forbidden the Prince to proceed to Rome, lest the anar chists should profit of his presence to disturb public tranquillity, but it afforded him every facility for the adjustment of his family Wilts. M. de St. Sauveur bad arrived from France with dispatches on the subject a week before. On the landing of the Prince, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne had come from Rome to Civita Vecchia to take his orders, and returned to Rome, from whence M. de Rayneval sent him to Perugia, where the Princess of Canino had retired. On his return, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne prccecded a second time to Civita Vecchia. Thus, the French authorities did everything in their power to enable the Prince to settle his domestic affairs; and it is now obvious, even to the Italians them selves, that M. Charles Bonaparte was not en trusted with any political mission. A letter written by a clergyman, who appears lobe attached to the Princess of Canino, and published in a Piedmontese religious journal, explains the nature of the business which brought him to Civita Vecchia. The Prince owes an American 43,000 scudi (10,0001), which he wished to repay him, and for that purpose be intended to sell his z iological cabinet and his gallery of paintings. The family refusing its consent, the Prince applied to the French Government for leave to proceed to Italy, which was granted to him on condi tion that he should stop at Civita Vecchia. Though his w ife left Rome for Perugia, on hearing of his arrival, it was not to avoid a settlement, but merely to bring away her younger son, whom her husband wished to take with him to France. The eldest son, who is of age, remained at Rome. The two daughters, who are mar ried, visited their father, and one of them, the Countess Campella, lately passed through Genoa with her hus band." RIOT AT BARRINGTON COLLIERY. A disturbance, attended with serious personal in jury, though with no loss of life, occurred on Tuesday last, at Barrington Colliery, near Bedlington. Messrs. Longbridge and Co. are the owners of Barrington Colliery. The men work by monthly agreements, terminated by a month's notice on either side. About six weeks ago they received notice of a reduction in their wages. There are two pits at this colliery, and in the new pit the men had hitherto been paid a uniform price of ls. 4d. per ton ; but, as the seam varies considerably in thickness in different places, so that there is much greater difficulty in hewing a ton of coals in one part of it than in another, the owners resolved to make a corresponding variation in the scale of prices. They accordingly gave notice that in future there would be four pricer—namely, 15.2 d., is. 3d., is. 4d., and is. Gd. per ton, according to the thickness of the seam. This, though a more equitable mode of regulating wages, amounted, it seems, to a redaction in the aggre gate, which, it is said, would amount to about is. per week in the average wages of the men in one pit. In the other pit no reduction of prices has taken place, though it was contemplated. After the month had expired the men remained in their houses, but refused to work at the reduced rate. In consequence of this, the owners, being determined to carry the new regulations into effect, ordered the men to leave their houses and make way for others who were willing to accept the terms. On the men refusing to leave the two policemen stationed at Bedlington, Drummond and Graham, got such assistance as they could procure, a nd attempted to eject them. This attempt was the signal for a de termined resistance on the part of the men generally. They assembled to the number of from 200 to 300 men, several of them being from other collieries. Many had provided themselves with sticks, and se veral blows were inflicted, the policemen and their party defending themselves as well as they could. Two men from Newcastle were severely wounded on the head and in other parts of the body. Andrew Gra ham, policeman, Mark White, constable, and Michael Barkas, a weigher at the pit, were also more or less injured. Some of the houses occupied by the "black legs," as they are called (that is, the men who agreed to the change), were much injured, the windows and doors being smashed to pieces. One had to jump th ro ugh a window at the front of his house, to escape the violence of the crowd. At length it was deemed prudent to desist until further assistance could be obtained. A special train came to this town for the assistance of a body of policemen. Twelve of the borough police were directed to give their assist ance, but declined to go unless a larger number was sent, on the ground that their lives would be endangered. The military authorities here were next applied to. A detachment of infantry was dispatched to the scene of disturbance about two o'clock on Wednesday morning, and their appear ance completely quieted the men, who were still assembled in great numbers about the colliery. The military remained a few hours, until every appear ance of disorder was past, and then returned to the town, but before their departure ten families were dislodged from an equal number of houses, and en camped in the lanes. Four men, who had made themselves conspicuous in resisting the police, were apprehended and taken before the magistrates, who remanded them for further examination. Their names are Ralph Cleghorn, Walter Akenhead, William Shute, and Zephaniah Jaques. Sebastian Frost and David Hurst have since been apprehended. The number of men employed at Barrington Colliery is about 200. Many of them, it appears are willing to work at the terms which have been offered, but they are overawed by the others, who are more numerous and more determined. It appears that the reduction of wages is not confined to Barrington. It has already taken place at Seghill, Cramlington, and that district, and it is now going on at Sleek burn and Cowpen. Several have had hills of indictment preferred against them, but will not be tried till the next sessions.—New castle Courant. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The im ports of the past week are on the most moderate scale, but more than sufficient for the wants of the trade, who buy most sparingly, and receive sufficient supply from our own farmers. To-day's market was very shortly supplied with English wheat, and which met free sale at about the current rates of last week. Foreign wheat wholly neglected, though holders show no anxiety to force sales. Barley is neglected. Beans move quietly off for consumption ; Egyptian form our only supply. Linseed is fully as dear, but cakes are easier to buy. Nothing doing in rapeseed, but cakes are fully as dear. Bones are a trifle lower. The tellowing are the present prices of grain s- 8 .

The arrivals of grain and flour are this week upon a moderate scale, whilst the exports are liberal. Ireland continues to take the most from us; the quantities shipped to there since l as t Tuesday bing 2,720 quarters wheat, 2.677 barrels and 257 sacks flour, and 2,843 quarters Indian corn; and the trade here during the week bas been strengthened by further pur chases of red wheat for the sister country, at prices re Cher over the quotations of last Tuesday. The Easter holidays have rather interfered with the local business. Though the business transacted in wheat and flour was not large , the general demand was certainly better than on this day se'nnight, and at extreme prices for both ar ticles, holders exhibiting much firmness with their samples. Several thousand quarters of Egyptian beans changed hands, and fully recovered a decline of 6d per quarter which had been submitted to during the week. Indian corn was al.o in fair request, at extreme rates, and it is not plentiful. Oats, oatmeal, and barley were not much noticed. Scarcely any peas at present here. CORK, APRIL 12. Barrels. Currency.
