Jamaica was purchased with caution by shippers and the home trade. Holders, however, were unwilling to reduce their prices; common quality we quote 3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s 7d to 3s 9d, good to fine 3s 10d to 4s Bd. The market has a dull appearance for Lee ward Island, but there are not sellers of common quality under 9s per gallon proof. Calcutta has been purchased with caution, but prices remain at is lid to 2s. per gallon proof with certificate. For Demerara the de mand has been only for small parcels. Brandy is still at tracting attention, and prices are on the advance. Geneva for exportation has been sold at 2s to 2s 2d for common quality, and fine for home use 2s 7d to 2s 10d. For English Corn Spirits prices have declined 3d, the quotation being now 103 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin is not cheaper, but the de mand has been less active.

TAR.—A much better demand has prevailed, but no ad vance has taken place in prices. 2,000 barrels of Stockholm have been disposed of at 15s 3d, and small parcels at 15s 6d to 16s per barrel. In Spirits of Turpentine a good business has been transacted at 63s to 645, and of Rough some parcels have been sold at 13s. per cwt. Some parcels of the latter arrived. OILS.--A considerable business has been transacted in Lin seed Oil for home consumption, and prices continue on the ascendency: the crushers keep working with caution. Rape Oil has been in good request, and prices keep firm. Cocoa Nut Oil has been purchased with more freedom, and prices are on th e ascen d ancy . F or P a i ns a goo d d eman d has seen experienced, and prices rule firm. Olive Oil is wanted, and several parcels have been disposed of. Of Cod Oil the trade have been tempted to take several par cels in consequence of holders accepting low rates. Seal has been purchased with caution. Southern cannot be quoted higher in price, but a fair amount of business has been transacted privately. Sperm is not offered at any further de cline in prices, and the supply is less than it was, but the trade operate with caution. American Lard Oil has been purchased with caution. GUANO is not to be had upon lower terms, but there has been less business transacted. TALLOW. —The trade entertain a favourable opinion towards Russian ; prices continue on the advance. For de livery in the next two months several contracts have been entered into at 43s to 43s 3d per cwt. Town Tallow has been in excellent demand, and Irices are on the ascendancy. Of all other descriptions several parcels have been taken pri vately, and rather higher rates are given.

William Price Lewis; also John Dancock, likewise described as a waiter, and George Bates, a jeweller, charged with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The RECORDER, having gone minutely and carefully through the whole of the evidence, left the case in the hands of the jury, who almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Mr. BODKIN said he was instructed by the prosecutor to recommend the prisoner Lake to the merciful consi deration of the Court, on the ground that he believed he had been led into the commission of the offence by the prisoner Bowen. The jury expressed a desire also to recommend Lake to mercy on the same ground. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners had been convicted of a most serious and ag gravated offence, and although he was at all times most anxious to pay attention to any recommendation that came from a jury, yet upon this occasion he felt that his duty to the public would compel him, to a certain extent, to overlook that recommendation in the case of the prisoner. Lake. The offence was one of a very ag gravated character. A robbery to a very large amount had been committed in a public hotel, for which the pro prietor was not only civilly responsible, but which was calculated also to do him serious injury, by the alarm and terror which the circumstance of such a robbery being committed would very naturally create in the minds of the public, and particularly those who were in the habit of frequenting his establishment. He trusted that, as the guilty parties in the present instance had been very properly prosecuted to conviction, such a re sult would not follow; but still he was bound to look at all the circumstances of the case, and as the object of punishment was to deter others from the commission of a similar crime, he must take care to pass a sentence calculated to have such effect. It might be very true that Lake had been induced by Bowen to commit the offence, but it was also clear, that after having been for a considerable time in the service of a kind and indul gent master, that be had very readily entered into a plan to commit a robbery to a very large amount upon one of the guests in his house. Under all the circumstances he felt compelled to order the prisoner Bowen to be trans ported for fifteen years, Lake for ten years, and Dancock and Bates for fourteen years. THE ALLEGED MURDER ON BOARD THE TORY.—The following is the form on which the charges against Captain Johnston appear on the calendar :—George Johnston, 34, mariner, charged with the wilful murder of William Rambert upon the high seas, within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England ; also for the wilful murder of Thomas Rason upon the high seas, &c.; also for the wilful murder of William Mars upon the high seas, &c. In addition to these charges of murder, there are also twelve indictments against the prisoner for cutting and wounding with intent to murder, which is likewise a capital offence. It is generally understood, that on account of the state of health of the prisoner, and for other reasons, that the trial will not come on at the present sitting of the Court, but that it will be post poned to the February sessions.

(From the London New Price Current, of Jan. 6.) SlTGAR.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed ;his day. Importers of West India displayed more firmness; the trade manifested a greater desire to operate, and a good business was transacted in grocery and refining descriptions at prices exhibiting an advance on those current previous to the holidays of 6d. A much larger quantity of all kinds of Sugar would have been disposed of had it not been for the stiff rates that were insisted upon. REFINED. —Since our last report the market has presented a firm appearance for Refined Sugar; the demand has been good from the town and country trade, especially for the low and middling descriptions, the refiners continuing to work with caution, have been enabled to obtain rather higher rates, and Refined is rather cheaper in comparison with Raw Sugar. Pieces have been purchased freely, but no ad vance has occurred in the value ; the supply at present is but a moderate one. In low Bastards little business has been transacted, but the better qualities have met with attention. Treacle has met with a good demand, but better prices are not obtainable. Bonded Crushed Sugar has been purchased with more freedom. There has not been much business done in Dutch Crushed Sugar. Belgium has been purchased with caution : in Loaves made here in bond a good deal has been done, but not at better prices. MAURITIUS.—Thi s afternoon the trade were eager to operate ; at a public sale of 5,365 bags and 226 casks, it was a superior parcel, nearly the whole consisting of middling and good bright grocery descriptions; the quantity of common Sugar in the sale was unusually small, the whole sold estab lishing an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d to is per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales of Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,070 bags, the chief part of which consisted of white and the better descriptions of yellow; nearly the whole found buyers at and after the sales, but prices gave way 6d to is for white, Is to Is 6d for low brown and low yellow, whilst the better kinds of brown and yellow brought an advance of 6d to is per cwt. FOREIGN.—The amount of business transacted by private treaty in brown Brazil has been extremely limited, although there are sellers at the late considerable decline that has taken place in prices. Of white the only transaction worth noticing is that of a floating cargo of Bahia to be delivered at Trieste at 25s 9d per cwt., which is rather under former rates-, Yellow Havannah is dull of sale, and if parcels we re to be pressed, former rates could not be obtained. White is neglected, and prices are little better than nominal. Other sorts of Foreign have met with a dull sale. CAIFFEn--This afternoon Mocha Coffee was sought after, but higher rates being asked checked business, and 100 bales at public sale we re ta k en in at 80s for good yellow long berry, sea damaged, first-class 725, second ditto 70s, being above the value. Of Ceylon several parcels were disposed of privately. TEA.—Although the quantity arrived since this day week has been large, amounting to 17,991 pkgs, still holders have displayed firmness and refrained from offering any at public sale; the trade manifested an increased desire to purchase all descriptions. In Congou a good deal has been done, espe cially in the lower descriptions, and the rates paid are rather above those previously quoted. Pouchong has been purchased with increased freedom, and buyers have been compelled to pay stiffer rates. Twankay is wanted, and prices are on the advance. For Hyson there has been a much better demand, and a slight advance in prices has taken place. Gunpowder has been sold to a fair extent. -Of Imperial several parcels have been sold. Young Hyson has been disposed of to a fair extent. Ilyson Skin sells more freely. SPICES.—To-day holders of Malabar Pepper were inclined to realise, and two parcels were offered at public sale amount ing to 6,021 bags ; the whole found purchasers, but at a de cline on former rates of fully id per lb. Sumatra was only in limited demand, but 60 bags at auction fetched the full value. Nutmegs are not much wanted. RICE. —There has been an improved demand for Bengal Rice, but not at better prices —low to middling fetching nt Madras are has th e mraetetsw given,ith more 14s 6d t o 15 s 6d, and good to fine at 16s to 17s per cwt. att a e v n i ti , on h , nw an ev d e l r, 3s lit t t o le ls b s us 6d in p es e s r In Java, has been done. For cleaned Rice, lowe r r at es hav ing been taken, taken, caused buyers to operate more freely—Carolina at 30s to 345, and Patna at 18s to 235. Sego.—Pearl was purchased with mere freedom this after noon, and 60 chests at public sale were sold fa t 1l middling small whit e b r i nging 32s to 33a u t. rates, good CocniNEAL—Prices rule fir m , and thereper cw has been a brisker demand privately ; Honduras silvers at 5s 2d to 5s 9d, black 5s 9d to 6s Bd, Mexican silvers 5a to 54 4d, and black 55 6d to 63 per lb. mo"ssEe.—This afternoon 52 puncheons and 35 hhds of Bengal Treacle were submitted to public sale, and taken in at 21s per cwt for thick, but rather foul. W001..--For English rather lower rates having been accepted t em pted buyers to operate with more freed om , and several parcels have been disposed of. In Foreign an d little business transact e d, Colonial there has, however,be e n and previous rates cannot be obtained.

THE COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM AND THE RECENT ACT OF PARLIAMENT. Mr. FRESHFIELD brought forward a motion relative to the necessity of providing an additional building and nec,.ssary accommodation for the pauper lunatics of the county. From the statement of the Learned Magistrate it appeared that the present County Lunatic Asylum, which was erected at an expense of 90,0001, was only capable of affording accommodation for 400 patients ; while by the returns made there were nearly 300 pauper lunatics in addition to those of the Asylum, and which were obliged to be supported at Bethlehem and private asylums, at an expense of Bs. a week, which was much more than they could be maintained at in the asylum. By the Act of Parliament, the Bth and 9th of Victoria, c. 126, the Secretary of State had the power to compel them to provide accommodation for those additional lu natics, and in ord r to prevent such necessity, he (Mr. Freshfield) moved that the Committee of Visiting Jus tices of the County Lunatic Asylum be requested to pursue their inquiries and investigation into tha matter, with a view of c ,rnplyinl, with the provisions of the re cent Act, and that they make their report to the next session. Mr. rawEs observed that by the report presented relative to the asylum, it appealed that only thirteen individuals had been sent out cured, and that there was but little hope held out of the ultimate restoration to sanity of the others. In his (Mr. Hawes's) opinion th"re were a great number of chronic cases in the asy lum, and these the Magistrates had the power, under the Act of Parliament before adverted to, to place in private asylums, or other places, and by making the asylum that which it ought to be, a place for the cure of insanity, and not the place of safety for confirmed idiots, there might, he thought, be found in the present build ing accommodation, if not for the whole, at least a great number of those county lunatic paupers, who were at present at Bethlehem and elsewhere. Mr. BRISCOE spoke at some length on the question, and thought that as the subject was one of considerable interest to the county, and involving the outlay of a considerable sum of money, that a greater length of time should be given for its consideration than the period from the present to the next quarter-sessions. Mr. HurT,N, in order to meet the objection of the Hon. Magistrate who had last addressed the Court, moved, as an amendment, that the words " next session" be omitted in the resolution of Mr. Freshfield. Colonel Chaluner, Mr. Austin, and other magistrates havine , addressed the Court on the subject, and it being remarked that if the Committee were not perfectly ready with their report at the next quarter sessions, it would not be compulsory on them to present it, the re soluticn was put in its original form and carried. The discussion on the question of applying the various prisons in the county to a particular cla=sification of offences was postponed to the next quarter-sessions, upon which Mr. Denison rose to request that due notice should be given to the magistrates, so that they might attend on so important an occasion as that of considering the question of expending the enormous sum of 200,0001. to be raised on the county.—(Cries of "No, no.") Mr. Denison contended that the original estima'e for building the county lunatic asylum was 55,0001., a n d this only to accommodate 350 pauper lunatics. The buildings have cost 90,0001., and as there were nearly 300 lunatics unprovided with accommodation, it was nut too much to say, in the present times, when the actual cost of a building was at least donble the amount of the original estimate, that the money required fur the addi tional buildieg would be nearly as much as that already expended. Then, added to this, there would be a large sum required for additional prison -room, to enable the magistrates to carry out the classification they intended, and therefore he would repeat it was necessary that the magistracy of the county should he in attendance. After a few words in explanation from Mr. Freshfield, and one or two other magistrates, some further routine business was disposed of, and the Court adjourned to this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. denied that they knew anything about any robbery, but subsequently the wife admitted that she had stolen all the bottles in a case of Madeira, which was worth, at trade price, the sum of 211., with the exception of one bottle, and that she had effected an entrance into the cellar by taking up the boards of a closet in the floor above. Four bot les of wine were found concealed in the house, and the re were found six empty bottles, which she confessed had been emptied on the Sunday night previous. She declared that her husband knew nothing about the robbery. The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had ruined her husband as well as herself, for he had been dismissed from the force, and she must be committed for trial. The wretched woman, who appeared to suff«•r deeply, and had an infant in her arms, was then committed for trial. Fox and Hannell, who were some days ago remanded upon a charge of having conspired with others to obtain goods by means of false referees, were brought up for re-examination before the Lord Mayor yesterday. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoners. Mr. Archer; a traveller for the firm of Capps and Co., detailed at greater length the statements made by him on Friday last relative to the goods obtained from the firm by the prisoners, who gave references as to their respectability which proved to be completely deceptions. Upon his cross-examination by Mr. Humphreys, the witness said that the prisoners, who passed as partners, had paid 111. upon account, and had given a bill for the rest, which amounted to 201. When the LORD MAYOR desired to see the bill and invoice, the witness in vain searched his pockets for them. He could not find either, though he tried his coat, waistcoat, and trousers' pockets for them, but luckily one was found in one part of the room, and the other trodden under foot in another part. The bill was drawn by the firm, accepted by the prisoner James Fox, and indorsed by a person named Broad, the referee of the prisoners. The concoctors all ran away before the bill became dud. The place in which the prisoners car ried on, or rather pretended to carry on business, was Walthamstow, where a shop had been apparently, but not really, opened by them for general trade. The landlord, who did not receive his rent for the premises, was present, and couid probably let the Court see a little more of the matter. Mr. Humphreys—Then you have received 111. out of the 301.? Witness—Certainly we have. Mr. Humphreys—Then it appears that you have got the 11/. in cash on this dealing? Witness—Yes. Mr. Humphreys—And you have got a bill for 201., upon which you may sue if you please?—(Laughter.) Witness—Certainly; but all the parties ran away. They never opened the shop at all. There has been a mistake made as to the day of examination, or a great many people would be here against the prisoners. Alfred Prince, a person in the employment of Mr. Tower, the proprietor of a boot and shoe warehouse on Holborn-hill, stated that Fox called at the premises on the 14th of November, and asked whether he could get credit upon good security. The house agreed to give him credit for 151. if he would pay 51. down; and Fox referred them to a Jew, and brought them a bill accepted by a Mr. Nash for 101. Witness heard such a character of the parties from the Jew's mother, that the firm gave credit for goods from time to time to the amount of 41/. Fox paid 5/. down, and subsequently paid two or three 5/. notes, and had goods each time upon the faith of the reference. The bill accepted by Nash was not yet due, and there was another bill in the hands of the firm, accepted by the Jew and drawn by Fox, for 101:which likewise was not due. The parties were traced to York-street, Kingsland-road, but they left that address, and their abode could not since be foiled. The firm to which witness belonged always sent the goods to a house opposite to Shoreditch Church, where he used to see Fox, who said that he had taken a house at Walthamstow, and was going to enter into business there. If, as would probably be the case, the two bills were not taken up, the debt due from the prisoners to the firm would be 40/. Several of the goods supplied to Fox were afterwards found at the houses of pawn brokers to whom they had been pledged. John Walker, Wood-street, Walthamstow, cabinet maker, stated that Fox and Hannell went down to Walthamstow in the beginning of November, took a house and shop of a Mr. Pridgeon, in Bridge-street there, and applied to witness to fit up the shop. He did fit it up, and made the charge to Mr. Fox, for he did not know the name of the other prisoner until he saw it in the newspapers. Mr. Fox acted as master, and said the other was his brother-in-law, and would pay everything and everybody. Two bales of goods arrived while wit ness was fitting up the place. They consisted of trousers and handkerchiefs, and other things of the kind, and witness believed that he might have got the amount of his bill, which was 11. 16s. 2d., in these goods if he pleased, but he thought it unfair to take the goods from new beginners. The shop was never opened at all. Sometimes the shutters were down, but then the door was shut, and it was useless to knock ; and sometimes the door was open, bat then the shutters, or most of them, were up. Witness saw goods removed from the premises. About a fortnight after he fitted up the shop he saw Hannell in the street with a handkerchief full of shoes. About a month after they disappeared. Charles Geary, of Bridge-street, Southwark, corn dealer, stated that, three months ago, he was in the employment of Mrs. Bennet, pastry-cook and confec tioner. Fox came about that time and ordered a quan tity of flour, Scotch barley, and split peas, which it was agreed should be paid for daily at No. 22 or 23 Charles street, Hackney -road. Witness applied for the amount on Saturday night, anal on Monday, which was appointed for the discharge of the debt, Fox, who went in the name of Ellis, and was entered in the books in that name, was gone. There was nobody at the address, neither was there anything. The shop was in the general line, and Hannell served behind the counter. The pawnbrokers were then called. They produced several of the articles supplied by the witnesses to Fox and Hannell. One of the pawnbrokers exhibited a pair of boots, which he said Hantaell had pledged, and which were identified by Prince. Hannell—Yes, tis true I pledged them (to the pawn broker), and you gave me a bad half-crown amongst the money.—(A laugh.) The policeman who apprehended Hannell said that, upon searching the pr isoner, he certainly found a bad half-crown in his pocket. Hannell—And that man gave it to me, I swear. Mr. Humphrey (to :Flannell)—You cannot possibly do yourself any good by such observations. Mr. Thomas Pridgeon, grocer, Walthamstow, stated that Fox took the house in that village from him as a weekly tenant on the 16th of October, and agreed to pay five shillings a week for it. He remained there about ten weeks, and. departed without giving notice. Witness had receiv(el five weeks' rent. flannel! was generally in the shop. Witness knew that several per sons called to purchmil goods, but they could not get in. In fact, in the day nobody was to be seen there at all. Arthur Webb was committed for trial upon the charge of having, i❑ receiving change of a sovereign, substituted a medal of no worth for a half-sovereign, by which manwuvre he robbed William Wilkins, a green-grocer. The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would oblige by acknowledging the receipt of 10/. from Charles Dixon, EA., of Stanstead -park, and 101. from X. Y. The LORD MAron said be should remand the prisoners till Wednesday week. The prisoners requested to be informed whether his Lordship would take bail ? The LORD MAYOR--•Not less than two good securities to the amount of 250/. each, in each case, and the pri soners themselves in 21001. each. Mary Barrett, the 'wife of a man who bore for some years a very good character in the City police force, was charged with having plundered a wine -merchant, over whose premises she ti nd her husband resided, of a quan tity of wine. Mr. Barker, wine- merchant, of Bi,hopsgate-without, stated that the pri 3oner and her husband rented a house over his cellar. 3. Having a suspicion that he was being plundered, he went, accmpanied by a friend, to the house, and expre‘Jscd his suspicions to both. They jured fur life by thrusting the point of a pair of scissors into his face. The complainant in reply said that he ascribed her change of temper to religious delusions under which she was labouring, and she was impressed with a notion that he was a sinner—did not attend to his religious observances, and on that account she was constantly taunting him with his impiety, and would frequently break out in loud denunciations against him, and pro ceed so far with her vengeance as frequently to assault him ; that his wife having the advantage of him in point of strength, availed herself of it, and that he had been a severe sufferer from her violence of temper. The wife contradicted the greater part of what had been stated. Her husband, she declared, was addicted to vice ; that on the night in question she had merely ex pressed a wish to invoke the Almighty, and that being thwarted by her husband, and in fact abusive words arose between them, and he struck her, and she resented the blow. Mr. COTTINGHAP47-BUt you resented it with a venge ance ; for it appears by the evidence you not only got him down, but jumped upon his body, and afterwards attacked hi►n with a pair of scissors, with which you might have endangered his life. As it is you have severely injured him, and it is my duty. for your own sake, as well as that of your husband, to impose such a restraint upon you as will prevent both of you from the effects of such blind fury, and that will be by adjudging you to find two sureties of 201. each, and 3ourself in 401, to keep the peace for six months. The Magistrate added, that as the defendant's mind seemed to be affected by strange delusions, the complainant had better employ some medical gentleman to examine her on the point, with a view of having her placed in a situation where she might be properly looked after, and means adopted to effect her recovery from such a painful condition of mind. Entnia Austin was charged, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, with cutting and wounding William Maxwell, a lighterman, on the preceding night. The complainant, who had the upper part of his face covered with adhesive plaster, stated that on the pre. ceding night he went into a coffee-shop, in the Waterloo road, to take some refreshment. That while he was , sitting drinking a cup of tea in one of the boxes, the prisoner entered the room with a dog following her. She walked into the same box where defendant was seated, and taking up the animal in her arms placed it on the table. He requested she would make the dog go down, at the same time saying that the table was not a proper place for the animal. The prisoner refused to comply with the request made, when the complainant expressed his determination to turn them both out of the box. She swore that, if he attempted anything of the kind, she would thrust a knife in his eye. Some angry words then occurred between them, during which the complainant gently removed her from the box. He then sat down, and commenced drinking his tea, when the prisoner rushed at him, and aimed a blow at his eye, which missed it, and took effect at the right angle, close to the organ of sight. The moment he received the blow, the blood streamed down the side of his face from a wound which he was not aware then was inflicted with a knife. He immediately rose from his seat, and attempted to seize the weapon out of his as sailant's hands, in doing which, the front part of his trousers was cut through, but fortunately he sustained no injury in the abdomen. He added that the wound at the side of his eye was afterwards dressed by a surgeon, who said that, had the instrument entered the eye, it must have killed him on the spot. . Mr. COTTINGRAM said, that the charge against the prisoner, from the deliberate manner in which she armed herself with the knife, after being turned out of the box, and after the complainant had sat down and commenced drinking his tea, was of the most serious character, and that it was only providential she had not killed him. The case was one of such an aggravated description, that instead of dealing summarily with it, which would be a punishment quite inadequate to such an offence, he should at once commit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner, who merely denied that she had stabbed the complainant, was then committed for trial. RETROSPECT of the CORN-LAWS. (From the Devonporf Telegraph.) The enactment of a law to raise the price of food for the purpose of sustaining high rents, will render the year 1815 a more marked period in history even than the battle of Waterloo. This law was based on certain re solutions proposed in the House of Commons by Mr. F. Robinson (now Earl of Ripon), on the 17th of February, 1815. In reading the speech with which the resolutions were introduced, it is rather curious to find that the pre cedent of restrictions on the wool trade was the argument on which the mover principally relied, because that very trade now forms the most striking instance which ana logy can afford of the inutility of restrictive laws to protective interests, and their detriment to all other classes. Among the opponents of the proposed law, we find Sir Robert Peel, the father of the present Premier, and we shall extract a portion of one of his speeches ; " He was anxious to correct a mistake which seemed to prevail in the House, that the interests of the land owner and manufacturer were conflicting and incom patible. They were in the view of enlightened policy the same, and the success or ruin of the one was the success or ruin of the other ; inasmuch as the country generally had been enriched by the sale of our manufactures, the landholders had received their share of wealth and advantages. It had been the wise policy of former Governments to keep the price of the chief article of subsistence as low as possible. Upon this principle Mr. Pitt had acted with success, but the sys tem now was about to be changed. It was undoubtedly true that the rent of land would be diminished by the unlimited importation of corn ; but if the resolutions upon the table passed in their present shape, the manu factures of the towns would be destroyed, and the land must consequently be depreciated. Corn might be grown, but paupers would be the only customers for it. It was in truth impossible to separate the two interests. The value of land in some places had within memory increased three-fold, the owners had derived their benefit from the political state of things, and now they must suffer the depreciation produced by an alteration in that poli tical state. With respect to our manufacturers it was al lowed that during the war our triumphal situation on the sea had enabled us to force a trade without rivals; but now we were open to competition, it would be madness in us to throw fresh obstacles in the way of those who bad so many to contend against. In his opinion, it might be fairly argued that the manufacturer had been the great benefactor of th e l an d e d i n t eres t s . He did not say that his design was to serve the landowner. That had been the effect of the flourishing state of our manu• factures, and in the difficulties now to be encountered tho landowner ought to participate. By the measures now upon the table, the wise system pursued for years was about to be subverted, and the labourers prevented from putting the real wealth of the country into that marketable shape by which this country had been hitherto made the envy of surrounding nations." Subsequently he declared that " the more the mea sure became known, the more generally it was exe crated and condemned." The feelings of the public on the subject were indeed sufficiently proved by the fact that the petition against the measure, from the City of London, received 40,571 signatures in less thau ten hours ; and that the civic petition to the Lords was signed by more than 80,000 persons. When, however, it became manifest that the patrons of famine prices were resolved to pass a law to create artifi cial scarcity, the greatest excitement prevailed i n th e metropolis: On the even ing of the 6th of March, crowds collected round the avenues of the House of Commons to deprecate the taxation of their bread. Those who were known to be favourable to raising a revenue for landlords by taxing the food of the labour ers were hooted ; and those who, like Mr. Baring (now Lord Ashburt on ), were opposed to the plunder of the industrious for the benefit of the idle, received some applause. The carriages of a few members were stopped to asce r t a i n h ow t h ey i nten d e d t o vo te ; and this was made the pretext for ordering out a military force, which acted so violently, that Mr. Lambton (the late Lord Durham) was nearly trampled down by a troop of horse. He rushed into the House of Commons, and interrupted the debate to protest against the unconstitutional displ a y of an armed force to overawe the deliberations of Par liament. It was with some difficulty that the excitement within doors was calmed ; but outside, notwithstanding the presence of the military, it continued to increase in violence. Several of the houses of the leading bread taxers were attacked ; but wherever the inmates ex hibited forbearance very little damage was done. Lord Ellenborough came forward, and remonstrated with the multitude ; and they were so pleased with his deport ment, that he was loudly cheered. Far different was th e scene at t h e h ouse of Mr. R Robinson (now Lord Ripon), the original pro pounder of the bread-tax ; fire-arms were dis charged from his parlour windows, which proved fatal to two i nnocen t p ersons , M r . E. Vyse, a mid shipman, and Mrs. Watson. It was consistent that a law to produce starvation should be baptised in blood. Wilful murder by the musket was a proper preliminary to wilful murder by famine. This is not our lang uage, j it is the verdict of the coroner's uries in both cases. Th e coroner's inquest on Mr. Tyso found " Wilful murder against some person or persons , firit% shot from a n d out of fire-arms from Mr. Robinson s windows ; that on J ane Watson returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Mr. Robinson's butler and three soldiers." It is well worth while to notice the pre c ipit at i on w i t h which the corn-law was hurried through Parliament; it was first broached in the Hou se o f C ommons on the 17th of February; it was passed in the House of Lords on the 20th of March. In the interval, the City of London prayed to be heard b y counsel aga i nst a measure so pregnant with danger to the trade and commerce of the country ; but thi s reasonable request was re j ecte d with something like contumely. A law passed by a packed Parliament of Members in terested in the perpretration of injustice naturally pro voked the indignation of the people ; and its authors took measures to suppress the expression of public ?pinion by m ili tary v i o l ence . N o s ooner was theincreas ing extent of popular discontent known, , than before anything like outrage was committed, preparations were made to occupy London with an overwhelming army, as if it had been a hostile capital. The following . circular was addressed by the high constable of Brighton to the different innkeepers of that town and the surrounding district : " In consequence of a requisition received by me from the Quartermaster -General, I have to request you will, on or before Monday next, furnish me with a corr ec t return of the number of soldiers you can accommodate, in case of emergency, on their march through this town ; also what number of horses you can possibly make room for," This precious missive is doted M.rr•;% 4th, 1815, f:111 there was not the slightest disturbance of the public peace before Monday, March 7th. The soldiers were stimulated to commit acts of violence. We have already mentioned the two murders committed at the house of the present Earl of Ripon. On the same evening, Mr. lienrick, of Cecil-street, Strand, who was quietly going MIDDLESEX SESSION S. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a Bench of Magis trates.) The January Quarter-Sessions of the Peace for the county of Middlesex commenced on Tuesday morn ing, at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell-green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams and a full bench of county magistrates. The calendar contains the names of 115 prisoners for trial, of whom 110 hare been indicted, charged with felony, and five with misdemeanors ; there are also a considerable number of prisoners for trial whose names do not appear upon the calendar. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in his address to the grand jury, adverted to the subject of abolishing grand juries in this Court, and said that if they made a presentment to him, expressing their opinion of the inutility of that body, he would be most happy to forward it to the proper authorities. Charles Lewis, convicted at this Court during the last session, for stealing a funnel, was brought up this morn ing for judgment, and havin g received an excell en t chrracter, the Judge directed him to be discharged within one hour from that time, as he had already been confined nearly a month. _ _ _ Thomas Miller (8) and Henry Rowley (15) were in dicted, charged with stealing a till and the sum of U. 1 Is. 6+l, and two canvass bags, the property of Andrew Glass. The evidence of the prosecutor clearly proved the charge. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the prisoners at the bar were proper objects for admission into Parkhurst Prison, but Sir James Graham had, in his recent correspondence with him (the Judge), expressly directed that that class of prisoners should not in future be sent to Parkhurst. The boy, Miller, although but eight years old, had been twice previously convicted ; Rowley, had also been previously con victed, once in that Court and once summarily. He had inquired respecting the condition of these boys, and found that their parents had been written to twice since their commitment, but they had not taken the slightest notice, nor had they even supplied them with a change of linen while in prison. It was a case which he did not know how to treat, lest by doing right he might do wrong. He wished something could be done for youth ful criminals. These poor boys, when they had served their term of imprisonment, would be again turned out upon the public, and cast upon the town to recommence their old practices. It was quite clear that this system would in a short time inundate the whole metropolis with thieves. The prison at Parkhurst, he considered was first founded for the purpose of remedying the evil, at least so he had learned from communications he had received from the Home Secretary, soon after the prison had been established. These poor children were such as would be benefited by the discipline and instruc tion exercised there, and moreover placed in a position to earn an honest livelihood, and become respectable members of society. By the existing orders both these boys were unfit for reception within its walls—one was too young, and the offence of which they had been con victed did not warrant transportation, witheut which ho could not recommend them to Parkhurst ; however, in the present instance, whether right or wrong, and not withstanding their age, he would sentence them to trans portation for seven years, and then the Government must exercise their own discretion in sending them to Park hurst or elsewhere. There was no other course left for that Court to adopt. He did sincerely trust that some provision would be made for this class of prisoners : if not, the whole metropolis would be overrun with crime. The present order with respect to Parkhurst prison would leave it a dead letter as far as the metropolitan district was concerned. Since his appointment to the office of Judge of that Court he bad tried upwards of 270 boys, varying from eight to fourteen years of age, yet tht•re was no place of protection, or asylum provided by Government for their reception ; he, however, hoped that the Legislature would adopt some means for stem ming the torrent of juvenile crime, by pointing out punishments suiting the ages of children, and the cir cumstances under which they came Lefore that Court. The sentence was, that each be transported for the term of seven years. SURREY QUARTER-SESSIONS. On Tuesday the General Quarter-Sessions for the county of Surrey, was opened at the Sessions House, Newington, before T. Puckle, Esq. (Chairman), and an unusually full Bench of Magistrates. Amongst the gentlemen assembled on the Bench we noticed Lord Lovelace, Lord-Lieutenant for the county ; Messrs. Denison, Trotter, Kemble, and Antrobus, the four Members for the county, and Benjamin Hawes, Esq., M.P. for Lambeth. Returns and reports were made by the governors, sur geons, and chaplains of the different prisons and houses of correction in the county, and their present state, but they contained nothing of a peculiar nature, or calling forth any particular observations from the Bench. The visiting Justices of Iforsemonger-lane prison recom mend a classification of debtors confined in that gaol, and that those of them who are confined as fraudulent debtors be put on a certain dietary, provided by the GUILDHALL A young man, who refused to give his name at the sta tion-house, but whose name is believed to be Henry Bushell, was brought before Mr. Alderman Moon, charged with uttering a forged cheque, purporting to be drawn by Lord Ducie, for 3751., on Messrs. Child, Tem ple-bar. David Cross, a porter, stated that, between one and two o'clock on Monday afternoon, the prisoner came to him at the Castle, in Portugal-street, and asked him to carry a letter, addressed to Mr. Biggs, or Briggs, of No. 39 A, Wigmore-street. When'he reached the house he asked if Mr. Briggs was within. The servant said he was, and took the letter up stairs to the gentleman. In about five minutes she returned with the answer, ad dressed to Messrs. Child and Co. ' with directions to give it to the gentleman from whom he brought the letter. Witness returned to the Castle, and after waiting a short time the prisoner arrived. Witness gave him the letter, and he, without opening it, returned it to witness, and asked him to take it to Messrs. Child's. Witness asked him if it contained a cheque. The prisoner said it did. Witness asked him what kind of cash he should bring for it. The prisoner made a memorandum for him on paper, and witness went to the banking-house. lie was de tained there nearly an hour, and then a letter, addressed to the Right Hon. Lord Ducie, was delivered to him to be given to the gentleman from whom he had the cheque. He returned to the Castle, but the prisoner was not there. He waited about an hour, and then found one of Messrs. Child's clerks was also waiting, by whose direction he went again to Wigmore-street, and left a message that he had got the money, and had been waiting some time at the Castle, and was uneasy at having the money in his care. He also said if Mr. Briggs would come to the Castle at ten the next morning, he would give up the money to him. Witness then returned to the Castle, and between nine and ten o'clock in the evening the pri soner came there, and he gave him into custody, accord ing to the instructions he had received. _ _ Mr. Alderman MOON asked if the cheque was forged ? The solicitor to Messrs. Child said it was. It was a resemb:ance to Lord Ducie's handwriting, and some cor respondence was found on the prisoner relative to rent due from his sister, showing that he was acquainted with his Lordship's hand. The ALDERMAN asked if there was any evidence from the house in Wigcnore• street? The solicitor said inquiry had been made there, and it appeared that a person who it was thought would prove to be the prisoner, had taken a lodging at that house on Monday, and was there at the time the porter arrived with the letter, so that he must hare managed to travel at a speedier rate than the porter, but did not hurry to get back at the Castle before him. Alfred Mortimer, clerk at Messrs. Child's, produced the cheque, which ran as follows: " London, Jan. 1, 1846 "Messrs. Child and Co., " Please to pay Mr. Briggs or bearer the sum of three hundred and seventy five pounds. " DUCIE." This cheqne was offered by the porter to another clerk, who passed it to him for his opinion of the hand writing. Witness also doubted it, and desired that it should be compared with his Lordship's last cheque, his Lordship keeping an account there. The comparison satisfied them the cheque was forged, and witness having entered into conversation with the porter, a clerk was dispatched to reconnoitre the Castle. A fictitious parcel was then made up as if containing the money, and a messenger was directed to watch the porter, for it was not then certain that he was not a party implicated. Wit ness went to the Castle, and afterwards to the house in Wigmore-street. The prisoner declined making any answer to the charge at present. Mr. Alderman MOON remanded the prisoner till Saturday. BOW-STREET. Mr. Joseph Bowers Gray, a surgeon, of St. James's street, and recently carrying on business in Holborn, was charged with forging a signature to a post-office order for 14 Mr. Peacock prosecuted on behalf of the Post-office, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Davis, a clerk in the money-order-office, produced the order, the advice respecting which he described as having been received from the post-office, Newark, on the 29th of August last, the amount being issuable from the Rev. A. Tatham, of Southwell, and payable to Mr. G. L. Hillas. George E. Hall, a clerk in the money-order- office, de posed that the money-order produced, granted by the post-office at Newark, was paid by him on Sept. 2 last, to the person who presented it, but of whom he had no recollection. It was signed according to the book, which he had examined before paying the money. The usual entry had been made by him in the paying -book. Mr. George L. Hillas, of No. 12, Sidney-place, Bromp ton, a surgeon, deposed that he l a t e ly carr i e d on business in Holborn, where he had been in practice for many years prior to October, 1844. At about that time he disposed of his business to the prisoner, to whom he gave up the possession of his house, No. 114, High Holborn. Wh en i n , p rac ti ce there he had a patient, the Rev. A. Tatham, who, he believed, at present resided in Southwell, Newark. In consequence of a communication recently received from him, relative to a small sum still owing to witness, he applied to the General Post-office, where the money order produced was shown to him. He believed that the order was intended for him. The signature was not in his handwriting, and he never authorised any person to sign it in his name. He bad frequently seen the pri soner write, and had corresponded with the prisoner in writing, and was of opinion, from his kaowledge of the prisoner's style, that the receipt was in his handwriting. Thomas Hillas, the son of the last witness, who had frequently seen the prisoner write, deposed that the signature to the order was in his handwriting. In September last he had some conversation with the pri soner, in the course of which he (witness) remarked, that a post-office order had been presented and a forgery committed; upon which he said, "it was very easy to commit a forgery of that kind, for a person had only to mention the name of the party sending the money." Cross-examined—Had no recollection of the prisoner's saying, "You had better go and have the matter investi gated at the Post-office." Could not tell whether this took place in September or October. Mr. Drew, the assistant, was in the shop at the time. Mr. G. Garnett, of the Isle of Wight, stated that he was an assistant to a chemist and druggist, and knew the prisoner at the bar, by whom he was formerly em ployed, at 114, High Holborn, having entered his ser vice in March last, and remained till July. Knew the prisoner's writing, and identified the signature to the order as his. Mr. Peacock here applied to his Worship for a remand. Mr. Ballantine briefly alluded tia. the serious import ance of the case, and claimed for his client the fullest investigation. He spoke of the prisoner's high character,respect habimilityo•fanBdso.forthe business andadve i r n tet H l otlobotrhn, and 2 the paymel o b o l since then, for a business in St. James's, proving that he was above temptation. Under these circumstances, he trusted his Worship would allow bail. Mr. JARDINE declined to accept bail, and remanded the prisoner to Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK. Mrs. Ellen Taylor, the wife of a snuff and tobacco manufacturer, in Tooley-street, was placed at the bar befoon her h before Mr. C otutisibigahnd. _. - _ am , charged with committing an assault The complainant, who exhibited a wound on the side of his nose, near his left eye, stated that on the pre ceding night when he went home, he found his wif e u p stairs preparing to go to bed. On his entrance into the room where she was she commenced abusing him, and he endeavoured to appease her, and to prevail on her to go to bed, but she refused, and continued to make use of opprobrious language towards him. As he was desirous of tranquillising his wife, he permitted her to go on without answering her, but this seemed to increase her passion, until she at length flew at him like a tigress, got him down on the floor, and began to jump on his body until his cries brought their daughter to the room, and she perceiving what was going forward, called for a policeman, who rescued him from further violence. The complainant declared that his body, from his neck down wards, was bruised in a frightful manner, owing to the violence of his wife; that in the presence of the police man she snatched up a pair of scissors off the table, and in the height of her passion made a thrust with it at his (complainant's) face, the point of it penetrating the side of his nose in such a manner, that had it been a quarter of an inch higher it must have entered his eye. He added that upon a former occasion he was compelled to have his wife taken into custody for acts of violence to ward 3 him. Policeman 156 M stated that when he was called into the house on the preceding night, on his entrance into the room where the parties were, he saw the complainant lying on the floor, and his wife in the act of jumping upon his body. He (the policeman) immediately pro ceeded to his rescue, and with much difficulty dragged the prisoner away, she at the time being in a frantic state with passion. The complainant appeared to be very sererely hurt, and complained of being bruised all over the body from the violence exercised towards him by his wife before he was rescued, but nevertheless he did net seem anxious to give her into custody at first. They all went down stairs into the parlour together, and while there, the complainant having merely uttered the words that he was cruelly treated by his wife, she snatched up a pair of scissors, and before he (the police man) had time to prevent it, she ran at her husband, and thrust them at his face, the point of which entered the side of his nose, as already described. The witness added that he then secured Mrs. Taylor, and conveyed her to the station-house. Mr. COTTINGRAM having expressed his surprise at the violence displayed by the prisoner on the occasion, in quired the cause of her having displayed such ferocity, as it might be termed, towards her husband, whom she might hare killed on the spot, or at all events have in- , e down to the House of Commons on private bust was sabred by one of the Life Guards; and e otit' who was near him had his thigh broken. to TO I/ men who attempted to address the ululated' i di:r James's Park, were very roughly handled by the tot,.and would have suffered severe injury but fo r the ferenee of the peace officers. On the following days, London presented the l e l ; once of a place in a state of siege. The IThlg 's j was formerly garrisoned by the Life Guards, aed leading bread-taxers _applied for and obtaineot" tachments of soldiers to guard their houses. de was one honourable exception ; Lord Darnlah affected by the wanton sacrifice of life at e o)l son's, now Lord Ripon's—house, insisted , I ' . „ military should be removed fr o m his inans' e 'reA Wednesday, the Bth of March, the House °, of mons, alarmed by a false report of the apPre,," e ' mob, hastily adjourned. The inquest on inr• shot from Mr. Robinson's house, adjourned fu r t o gi different reason. Mr. Baker, one of the pnlicet)o4 i trates, interposed his authority, though roanifes trary to law, to prevent Mr. Robinson's servant:di being examined at the coroner's inquest. In I' vs e ati shops of the metropolis, written papers were pi>sto, scribed with " No Corn-laws," " Cheap Bread so Trade." The troops from Windsor were marel'of London on the same day ; and in con sequence : 0 1 heavy rain, the sth Regireentvf Foot was brought,' I part of the way in waggons The artillery "'to brought up from Woolwich, and ball-cartridg es distributed to the troops. The citizens of London were completely at t ' e „ of the army. Everywhere throughout the leeY3ol t posts were formed to command the principal 101.e0.0 and a proclamation issued by the Prince Ree,,„.l them to assemble to protest against the iniqiirco taxing their food. Lord Sidmouth addressed %if' to the different vestry clerks, requiring them W ' the several parochial authorities to take n3ens" e cr , preventing riots and tumults, and at the same •: ;0 101 was taken to suppress any mention of the acts of " committed by the military. r Sel# At this crisis intelligence of tin: escape of x `l o from Elba arrived, and the bread-taxers took a" / g al of the diversion which this incident afforded t c)the ls ,7 excitement to hasten the corn-laws through t riegil of Lords with all the speed that the caravan tion can travel. The riots in the metropolis 1.," renewed, for the following harvest happened W . , ro ll abundant ; and the corn-laws w ere thus renu e ; tually inoperative. Great di s t ress , hovvel e " l o tinned to prevail among the farmers ; they vi7e'dio leases and rents founded upon an 8 %0 0 ,1 conjuncture of bad seasons with a state of °lt' upon an Act which promised to keep up prie e L o s eluding foreign grain, but which made no pr° v • e co the effects of a productive harvest. The strap glut plexity which ensued is shown in one of the res°ol moved by Mr. Huskisson in 1822. It asserted 50 the excess of the supply above the demand O re t arisen either from an extent of corn tillage , 113 1 , ° , commensurate to the general consumption of '" - ol i try, or from a succession of abundant harvests erffee same extent of tillage, or from the coinciden t both these causes." AGRICULTURAL REPORT DECEMBER. (From the jarnte; ; ;M --- agazine.) c ot Notwithstanding we have now arrived the 0 41 1845, the atmosphere during the whole of the has been extremely mild and vegetative. In o' England, as well, indeed, as throughout thebvie Kingdom, farm labours have progressed roper" 0 0 and it affords us great pleasure to be enabled t o eo l that the winter wheat plants are everywhere rePot t as looking strong and healthy, although they 0, 0 0 in need of a few sharp frosts to check pretest" berance. The events which have taken place in, ' O 7 circles, since the date of our last report, huge of a character calculated to arouse the en e 7r l ;, the agricultural body in support of their in s l l and privileges. As these events are or to possible interest at this moment, we shall be r „ ij er`, cur sory glance at them, in order that our 0 : ;11‘ readers racy have an opportunity of preear i° V selves for any future legislative enactments tha t passed having reference to the import of the e tn et i t The decided change which has taken place in ,h of Lord J. Russell, hi Lordship now asserting g total free trade is inevitable ; the disunity in V r ir, Peel's Cabinet on the corn question, and t`' p ; of changes in the Ministry, have produced a degr;oo: citement seldom or never e qua lled. The s i o ef i efforts of the Anti-Corn-la w L eag ue —the i t , 0, amount of subscriptions obtained by that bedi;,.,irr d as they term it, " war into the enemy's calliP f to impress many with the belief that the days 4 10 re", lion to the agriculturists are numbered. e' Aet lo,' therefore, has been, that great activity preea, t oo m , principal corn markets in the month's early quotations of wheat, and all other articles ot the unwillingness on the part of dealers to pur e r ry; as they conceived, the eve of a repeal of th e "" beyond what they require for immediate use. 6, those circumstances, it was but natural that Pl e a ; should forward limited supplies of wheat for ss " - istw from the 22d till the close of the month, the drool that article ruled steady, and prices impre/e",„,e to 3s. per quarter. Looking at these flen" — o f pa . value, we are somewhat struck with the foni - 4ior d anticipating extremely low prices from the 1 - te of of rumours—nothing more—respeeting the 1 " import laws. That some change in the existing laws is ill ; 00: plation, not a doubt can exist. What its a sc ea ft may be, it uould be impossible at this momen t "" u t still we will endeavour to reply to the question 113,041, by many of the leading farmers:—" Will. Sir g'° er po propose a total repeal of the Corn-laws in' th e r ,oet session ?" We have carefully watched the Pr'reP:, events for a long time past, and made the 1 0°5 be rr i „ sive inquiries as to the stocks of wheat and c" bo ce des of grain in the hands of the growers ; t„re of failed to take into account the partial fe"reo,,' l ' k potato crop—the stocks of foreign grain at l " esY d warehouse here—the supplies now on the° ' 4 0 0 " hither from different parts of the world---t he pe 1 4 + ties that will be received here during the 11 ',. el —and above all, the consuming powers of °li c e lation.
