This daring attempt to root the influence of the French Government in the Peninsula, has, in reality, done little more than brought all the political parties of the latter country into a collision of such violence, as renders seine calamitous demonstration inevitable. A general and not bloodless pronunc'ar_eida may be calculated upon with some certainty, and the passion which will be thereby engendered must tend rather to the diminu tion than to the permanent establishment of Gallic influence. The balance upon which the continued tranquillity, or the almost interminable disturbance, of Spain now oscillates, is of infinite delicacy. Every diligence is expected to bring intelligence to Madrid of some Carlist insurrection. It is certain that the expectations of the antagonists to the Cama rilla are centering in the person of the Count DE MONTEXIOLIN. Many are undoubtedly inclined to turn fur a co-operation to General N4TIVAEZ, but the consummate duplicity and eminent selfishness of the ex-Minister renders any steady reliance upon his assistance impossible. In the second " Young Cava lier," the Carlists recognise the representative of an illustrious house, and a Prince who would be insti gated to a resolute campaign by the very magnifi cence and vastness of the guerdun for which he has already proclaimed it as his intention to struggle— namely, the Spanish diadem. Nothing could . impart such an extraordinary prestige to the cause of this aspirant as the recent proceedings of the vassals of BaEssoN ; nothing could render a coalition of the Carlists with the Progressistas more probable than the despotic means by which the Afrancesados have latterly en deavoured to compel the community to swallow the unpalatable and deleterious draught concocted in the Cabinet of the Tuileries. Little has the hitherto sagacious Sovereign of France benefited his position among the European Powers by his recent attempt to gain the prepon derance. What . the delegated authority of Louis XIV. had proved incapable of accomplishing, the pen and the standing of diplomacy have surely no higher power to realise. The obstacles which were impossible, even before the batons of NAPOLEON'S Mar shals, are surely not more calculated to yield before the thrust of a hymeneal torch. A logical exposi tion of this improbability is, however, rendered wholly needless, now that occurrences are rapidly attesting the reality. Rhetorical flourishes are altogether superfluous at a period when the trumpet of revolt is eagerly listened fur by the populace. Two gigantic and neighbouring nations are already estranged from King Louis PHILIPPE by the grasp ' ing and insidious policy lately adopted by his Govern ment. Of one of these nations he is juggling away the liberties ; the honest and constitutional remonstrances of the other he is treating as idle garrulity. There is so much of unnecessary rashness, and so much of spontaneous recklessness about the Spanish policy of his Ministry, that we should be tempted to attribute it to a paroxysm of political insanity; nevertheless we are persuaded that this appeArance is altogether an affecta tion, that the alliance is not merely a " family affair," as the .1 3 i esse would wish to insinuate, and that M. GUIZOT, like HAMLET, "knows a hawk from a hand-saw." The sentence of the court-martial on private MATTHEWS(); of the 7th Hussars, has at length been promulgated. Six months' imprisonment, two of them in solitary confinement, has been considered a punishment only adequate for a petulant expresSion, for words derogatory to the di2nity of a non-com missioned officer, and those, too, uttered in a moment of excitement and irritation, w hen he was smarting nndcr exasperated feelings, wh©n his simple petition fur liberty to exchange his term of duty with a brother private, in order that he might for a few short hours enjoy the society of his mother and a brother in-law, whom he had not seen for nine years, was contemptuously negatived, and he was told "that the commanding officer could not grant his request, neither would he see him ;" and when the complain ing sergeant threw himself in the way of the angry man, unaccompanied by any other soldier of the guard, thereby himself violating a regimental order, and depriving the accused of the benefit of testimony to which he should have been entitled, as if he sought to entrap the poor young man into some indiscreet or hasty expression. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, it does appear to us, civilians, rather a severe penalty for the offence, although it will, w( suppose, be considered most lenient by those officers who on a former occasion condemned the same person to 100 lashes, every one of which was fully inflicted without favour or affection, for calling out "IIalloa" to another of that dignified grade. Seriously speaking, can it be wondered at that the people have a strong repu,nance, a decided objection to enter into a service where such things are tolerated It is said that our soldiers are of an inferior class, that they are less respectable in their characters and con duct than the non-military part of the population ; that they can only be acted on, their obedience enforced, by an extraordinary degree of severity ; and this is the attempted justification of the present system. We believe that such an assertion is an unjust aspersion, a gross calumny against a very large proportion of our gallant brethren; but, were it even the truth, is it not manifest that the superior and better description of men are thereby deterred from joining the ranks, that it occasions the very mischief it proposes to remedy ? It is the just, the humane principle of the British law, that "it is better that ninety-nine guilty men should escape than that one innocent man should suffer." Every protection is given by our social law to each person within its jurisdiction : the crimes are fully and clearly defined, the punishments are ex plicitly set fjrth, and, above all, no one can be con victed of any crime, or subjected to any punishment, except upon the unanimous verdict of twelve men, his peers, before whom he has had an opportunity of urging every mitigating and favourable circumstance by able advocates, men whose education and pursuits fully qualify them for the duty. With the soldier the case is, however, very different. A wide dis cretion is left to the tribunal to which he is subjected. " All disorders and neglects which officers and soldiers may be guilty of, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, though not specified in the fore going cases, or in our Articles of War, shall be taken cognizance of by courts-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offs nee." So runs the Article of War, and all that is necessary is to allege any act whatsoever to be "to the prejudice of good order and military discipline" to subject the person by whom it was committed to heavy penalties; although it was never treated or considered as a crime before, nor violated any moral or sccial law, still it is for the court, if they please so to do, to pronounce it an offence. No person, therefore, can be safe under such a code. The nature and amount of the punishment is also entirely within the will of the court, who may themselves be reprimanded and severely censured if their finding and sentence does not meet the appro. tion of the Commander-in-Chief. A bare majority of the court is sufficient to declare the crime, and to pronounce the punishment, except indeed in capital cases, where two-thirds at least of the members must concur before sentence of death can be passed. The soldier also is deprived of the benefit of legal assist ance : if by a sort of pious fraud a professional man is admitted, he is called the friend of the accused and is not recognised as his advocate, or permitted to ad dress the court on his behalf. All these are serious dis advantages to which no person will lightly expose himself, unless he attains some great advantage by so doing; but this unfortunately is not the case, for the military authorities will rely solely on punish ments, and resolutely refuse to give a trial to a system of rewards, which would probably be far more efficient for the preservation of discipline, and in great degree would dispense with the necessity of the present punishments. Nothing but imperative necessity can possibly justify anything so much at variance with, and so re pugnant to, the spirit of the British Consti tution. Let us for a moment inquire whether there is any such paramount necessity. We are at once willing to admit that such a power may be desirable in a state of war, and perhaps i i a more modified degree when any regiment is abroad, and out of the jurisdiction of the ordinary tri bunals of the country ; but we distinctly deny that at home there is any occasion whatsoever for anything be yond the common laws administered by the judicial authorities of the land. Two of the most able writers, men who have adorned the ermine, and put forward principles of jurisprudence that wiq ever be hailed I with respect, have stated their opinions that military 1 liMv should be abolished in time of peace. " Martial law,." says Sir WILLIAm linAcKsToNE, " which is built ppon no settled principles, but is certainly arbi trary in its decisions, is, as Sir MArrnEw HALE ob serves, in truth and reality no law, but something in du!ged rather than allowed as law. The necessity of order and discipline in an army is the only thing which can give it countenance, and therefore it ought not to be permitted in time of peace, when the King's Courts are open for all persons to receive jus tice according to the law of the land." In addition to these high authorities, let us add one of more modern times--a distinguished soldier, who has devoted his time to the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of everything relating to his profession, and who has put forward the soundest views with singular ability. Sir CHARLES JAMES NAPIER says—" There ought to be a military code fur peace and a military code for war. There is a peace establishment and a war esta blishmeLt for most of the branches forming the mili tary system, and why not for military law." And again—" If the objects to be gained by military law in time of peace are, as I have said, different from those demanded in time of war, and if they are also of a gentler nature, and more approximate to those sought for by social law, and if the soldier's life is in peace very similar to the life led by a citizen, is it not natural to abate that rigour of the law which in war is necessary to attain the more urgent objects of obedience and sanguinary results ? I think reason tells us that this is both natural and wise." We shall for the present rest on the opinion of those eminent persons. We trust most sincerely that what we have said is sufficient to direct the public attention to a thorough investigation of the subject, and that the force of public opinion, when once fully awakened, will have the same deference paid to it by the military authorities, and will be as productive of a beneficial mitigation of this severity of the code, as it has recently been in respect to cor poral punishment. The following account of the revolution in Geneva appears in the Journal des Debuts : On the evening of the 6th the inhabitants of the faubourg St. Gervais assembled and raised barricades at the bridges. In the morning the militia, with the deter mination of destro) ing thin], fired about 200 cannon shot, which accomplished the desired object. After this the soldiery made attempts at two ditkrent points to enter and occupy the faubourg, but were recAved with a gall ing fire from almost every window. Each of the com mandants marched at the head of his regiment, and as nearly all of them were wounded, the retreat was beat, and the troops re-crossed the bridges. Still they re mained in possession of the lower town and the course of the Rhone, and the insurrection was confined to the fau bourg. In the night, however, the insurgents set fire to the bridges, and the inhabitants of the lower town, find ing that their safety was compromised, rose in their turn. At the same time the Radical auxiliaries of the canton of Vaud came in great force to the aid of the insurgents. The militia, thus threatened on all sides, began to waver, and at length yielded, and the Council of State gave in its resignation. By the even ing the arsenal and the principal public establishments were in the hands of the insurgents, who formed a Pro • visional Government. The courage with which the colonels of the militia were the first to meet danger was fatal to them. The families of the highest consideration of Geneva have to deplore losses; among these are Colonel Chateauvieux, an old officer of the Royal Guard, and M. Halle. The militia has lost several men killed, and many wounded. The loss of their oproncnts is not yet known, but it is b , lieved that it cannot be very great, as they were well protected by their barricades. Whilst the tattle was going on between the Governor, nt troops and the iniurgents, 2,000 men were marching from the canton of Vaud to the assistance of the latter; but the aff-tir having ended in the triumph of the in surgents, a messenger was dispatched ti stop their advance." Madrid papers of the Gth and 7th have arrived. The Espanol gives the following as the 'substance of the note presented to M. GUIZOT by Lord Non :11A NBY on the subject of the Montpensier marriage:— "England, after having remarked upon the difference between her disinterested conduct in the negotiations, and the recent conduct of France, and the spirit of con ciliation and respect w hlch she had shown towards France in the question, observes that by an indirect course the marriage of the Duke de Mon tpensier tends to create fears which the King of the French had ad mitted it would not be just to excite, by renouncing all pretension to the band of the Queen of Spain for one of his sons. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Eng land then insists upon the fact of the exclusion, as re• girds the throne of Spain, which has been imposed open the House of Orleans by the renunciation of Utrecht, and the stipulations of that treaty considered by it as forming an integral part of the public right of Europe, and proves in an exp;icit and conclusive mariner th ,t, confortnt.bly with the stipulations of that treaty, the children of a P: ince of the House of Orleans cannot reign in Spain. The note of Lird Palmerston is so ex plait on this point that it assorts that the treaty leaves no doubt, and that although in conformity with its chimes (h..r e can be no doubt entertained on the subject, :he English Government regards it as essential that no I :reb ri,ion shall he set up which at a later period might lead to an attempt to elude the guarantees pre ,ented by this treaty for ti,e repose of Spain, the balance of power in Europe. England, rel)ing on these considerations, declares that the descendants of the House of Orleans cannot, on any pretension, aspire to the succession in Spain, and states that these consi derations compel her to protest against the consequences •of the marriage, which, on such conditions, would com plicate the relations, and injure the interests of the other powers. In conclusion, England applying to France the principle which she has invoked relative to Spain, in the protest addressed to our Government, declares that it is not a petty interest of rivality which induces her to wake these representations to the French Gorernment, and that she considers the power, the grandeur, aid the pro3rerity of France as one of the most essential ele ments of the balance of power in Europe ; but that France is already so great a nation, and her own re sources are so immen.e, that the augmentation which the would derive from the eventuality of rights acquired by a French prince to the throne of Spain can only tend to menace as to the future, and even now the repose and ecurity of Europe." Senor ISTURITZ has replied to Mr. BULWER'S pr.). test, but the nature of his reply has not transpired. The French Princes entered Madrid on the Gth. They were received quietly. No demonstration of any sort was made on their arrival. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 6 —The Three per Cents. were chne at 34% for cash; the Four ver Cents., 21%; the Five per Cents., at 21 1 / i ; the Pitssives., at ; and the Coupons, We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Presse contains the following official defence of the conduct of the French Government in regard to the Montpensier marriage : " While Sir Robert Peel was in office, France and England were in perfect harmony on the subject of the Spanish marriages. Putting aside all personal pnten sions, France agreed, and even proposed as the best ar rangement, that the two Spanish Princesses should be united to their two cousins, the sons of Don Francisco de Paulo, in which the British Cabinet agrecd. This arrangement, however, was rendered impessible by one of these Spanish Princes breaking suddeely and scanda lously with tie Constitutional party. Then Occurred those conversations at Eu of which so much has been said, in which the French Minister proposed the arrange tnent now carried into effect. Lord Aberdeen replied that he ShW no objection, especially (surtout) if the Queen should have an heir to the crown at the time of the solemnization of the marriage of thel n f anta. This was the positi o n o f thi ngs w h en Sir Robert Peel resigned. On the accession of Lord Palmerston, the French Cabinet ne cessarily put itself on its guard. It soon learned that Lord Palmerston, corresponding with Mr. Bulwer, was en deavouring to substitute a Prince of Coburg as a candi date absolutely on the same footing as the sons of Don Francisco. It was known that Mr. Bulwer had indi cated Don Henry as the proper husband of the Queen, and that England was doing all that she could to bring to a conclusion a marriage with the Prince of Coburg, and that already the Spanish Cabinet, being reluctantly forced to adopt a course, gave ear to the propositions thus made to it. Under such circumstances, France was compelled to act, and how could she act otherwise than she has acted? She gave notice to England that the latter was departing from the course agreed upon, and receiving no answer, and knowing that the Coburg in trigue was still proceeding, she gave definite notice that she would hold hi rselt' free to act as might seem most conducive to her interests, and would marry the Due de Montpensier either to the Queen or the Infanta. 'This communication, which dates so far back as last May, was followed by the proceedings the issue of which is now manifested. Such are the facts, the exactitude of which we defy the English Ministerial journals to dis prove, or to show that the French Government through out this negotiation has exceeded the strictest limits of good faith. Let English diplomacy, caught in its own nets, cry out against a result which it might have pre vented by observing the neutrality agreed on between the two Cabinets. Let it try to distort the facts, and to cast upon France the wrung of its own defeated du plicity. Nothing is more natural. Let the French op position journals seek satisfaction in the clamours of the English press, and mingle in foreign declamations against us. Nothing, to our shame, is more cirnmon among us. But let any man of good faith and good sense, having the facts before him, say whether the con duct cf England has not justified that of France ; even admitting, which we do not, that France has need to consult England in such a matter." We believe that this is one of those artfully com pounded mixtures of truth and falsehood in the con coction of which, from long habit, Lours PHILIPPE surpasses any man living. For instance, it is true, we believe, that the Spanish marriage was the sub ject of conversation at Eu between M. Guizorr, Lord ABERDEEN, and Louis PHILIPPE, but it is not true that Lord ABERDEEN said he saw no objection I t') the Montpensier marriage, especially if the QUEEN cur ..k....:v if dr , ii . c.,'... . • e 4o .k - • , 2 , c‘- ~,1113CIGIFt'YI le '' ~ :- l :' ;• '7 " Ar l' '''' . . h ellf •ft 1 • 4, 1„ . .. j r, ,:,... • - , :". 11 4 4,11 k LONDON, TJESD Y, OCTOBER 13, 1846, Now that circumstances may be presumed to have conducted the machinations of the Count DE BRESSON to their consummation, it becomes a matter of pecu liar interest to observe the relative position assumed at this moment by the various per sonages implicated therein. And, notwithstanding that the members cf the Camarilla may con gratulate themselves upon the temporary success which has attended their arrangements, it is manifest that the present is bat a poor opportunity for the indulgence either of exultation or confidence. Everything that ingenuity could suggest for the speedier accomplishment of the marriages has been hastened forward; all unnecessary procrastination from the interference of English diplomacy has been avoided by returning no immediate answer to the protest thereby transmitted ; every circumstance that could tend to facilitate the progress of the French Princes through the provinces of- the Peninsula relays of post-horses, squadrons of cavalry, the terrible guardianship of 12-pounders, the "huzzas" of a gold-loving and wine-bibbing rabble—has been skilfully pre •arranged by the crea tures of the Gallic embassy and the satellites of the obsequious ISTURITZ. So far these hymeneal pre liminaries have prospered ; but the consequences of this specious precipitation still remain of a very dubious character, and assume, if that be possible, a yet more threatening appearance. Their Roya Highnesses are reported to have passed into the epa. nigh capital amidst an impassive multitude of spectators ; not a hat was raised, not a handkerchief fluttered, not a shred of tapestry dis• played, not a Viva uttered from the Calles Fuencarre, to the gateway of the palace, saving a few hired accla mations from a little bodyguard of " the un washed ;" not a single congratulatory bonfire in the squares of Burgos ; not a solitary cheer from the citizens of Madrid, or from the inhabitants of its en virons I If this Le not a sufficient indication of the unwelcome nature of this Montpensier alliance, there are numberless others proving it to be entirely of a compulsory, and not of a popular character Among these may be enumerated the sr cret distri bution of inflammatory appeals to the popu lace, the continued seizure of the Liberal newspapers, and the confinement of different indi viduals who are known to be inimical to the marriage. These, and numberless other circum stances, testify as to how unpalatable this diplomatic device is among the more sincere lovers of Spanish independence, and these are, fortunately for hu- nullity and civilisation, the vast majority of the i 7 , TI-I E SUN, LON DON •, TUES 'V 11, 1 144 NI IN G OCTOI3ER 13, 1846. should have an heir to the crown at the time of its soleninizltion. What :Lord J\ nr , aDEEN spy wa-, that such an event wou'd (lot do au ay entirely with his objections to the marriage, but) render it less oljectionable. There is a vast deal of difference between " leis ob jectionable" and seeing "no objections." Again, it is not true that Lord PALNIERSON or Mr. BULWER endeavoured to bring forward a Coburg candidate ; but it is true that Queen CHRISTINA, acting upon the suggestions of the French Ambassador, endeavoured to prevail upon Mr. BULWER and Lord PALMERSTON to propose a Coburg candidate, and that Mr. BuLwEa and Lord PALAIERsToN refused. Again, the assertion about Don ENRIQUE is not true, for at the time of the conferences of Eu, Don Ertaictue had not broken with the con.slitutione/ party in Spain (called constitutional, we presume, ut Leas a non lucendo). But it is useless to utirevel further this tangled skein, in which the slightest possible in.. fusion of truth is made to colour oceans of fabehood. There is, however, one portion of thi3 article which is worthy of being remembered : - -"France has given England notice that henceforth she will hold herself free to act as may seem most conducive to her in terests." Be it so ; England then will do the same. In commenting on the article in the Presse of the day preceding, in which that organ of the Tuile:ies took upon itself to order Queen VICTORIA to choose for Ministers Tories who would not object to see a grandson of LOUIS PHILIPPE on the th rone of Spain, the National says— .' We are not under the n ecess i ty of remarking upon an untugonicine which expr esses itsi if in term s so v i o l ent. Between the Whigs and Louis XIV. it was war, but in the historical events referred to by that paper, it omitted to cite the simple dates which corroborate the great guarantees of the treaty of P eace s i gned at Utrecht. 'r ho date of that treaty is 1713 ; Louis XIV. died in 1715. In 1719 the war broke out again. Perhaps the l'Asse ought to have added that the principal author of this treaty (Bolingbroke) w as compelled to fly to France ti escape from the justice which threatened him in Eng land, and which accused his colleague, Lord Oxford, of high treason. All these recollections are of an irritating nature, and we can scarcely understand the imprudence ydlieh rouses them at a mornert when the Whigs are more firm than ever." The KING has pardoned upwards of one hundred persons on the occasion of the marriage of the Due DE AIONTPENSIER. Among them are five of the ac complices of QUENISSET. The Epoque contradicts the statement which ap peared in the papers of the day preceding, that a revolt had broken out in the 15th regiment of Light Infantry, stationed in Algeria. • The price of flour fell on Saturday nearly 2f. per metrical quintal, at the half of Paris.: The Constitutionnel says— " The inquiries ordered by the Minister of Commerce for the purpose of ascertaining the produce of the crops in the departments are now terminated. The Prefects have addressed to the Minister detailed reports, which are said to leave no doubt as to the extent of the evil. The greatest part of the central departments, and many of the western, have sadly suffered, and the worhing classes will be left without resources during the rigorous season, if the Government does not devise means of rg lieving them. The Minister of Commerce, it appears, has cot.certed measures with his colleagues of the de partments of the Interior and Public Works, which, it is hoped, will have the effect of re. assuring the popula tion. Several Deputies have recommended the Admi nistration to give labour to the people, and open cha ritable establishments, in which the old an infirm, unable to am their bread, should Le admitted during the winter. The Government, we are informed, has acceded to those demands, and approved various works proposed by the 1ey.:;21 authorities." The Moniteur contains the following telegraphic dispatch, dated Marseilles, 10th instant : Therapia, Sept. 28. " Resdid Paella is appointed " Grand Vizier. Ali Effendi succeeds Reschid Pasha as Minister fur Foreign Affairs." The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera on Sunday at 821. 70c.

BANKRUPTCY. ---(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE C. D. WADSWORTH. This bank rupt , w h o had carried on business in part nership with two other persons, as surgeons, &c., in Broad-street, Golden -square, came up for his certificate. The bankrupt's debts amounted to 1,8001., and the assets were very trifling, on which ground Mr. Law rence opposed. The bankrupt had disposed of his share in the busineAs, but his t xplanations of that transaction were very unsatisfUctory. The bankrupt had reserved one-half of the profits, tut gas to rejiin the firm. The Learned COMMISSIONER —DO you mean to swear that you do not expect to go back to the same business again and share the profits? Bani:rupt—l swear I do not. The Learned CommissfoxErt—N o t in expectancy, even? Bankrut—l do not. I swear Ido not. The bankrupt, on further examination, said that his name aas sill retained on the door-plate. The same book; ere kept. The Learned COMMISSIONER —It has been set out in the papers that you are entitled to money —a consider , able sum. Are you prepared to make some proposition to your creditors ? Bankrupt—l have no means. The Learned COMMISSIONER—You appear to have sacrificed your creditors altogether and therefore I should b. : f u lly justified in suspending your certificate for a year. I will, however, give you one day to con sider your predicament. I wish to convince you and others that persons shall not make themselves bankrupt, and dissolve partnership, and then return back. If per sons fancy they can do so with impunity, they will find themselves very much mistaken. I will adjourn the hearing till to-morrow, to see if you are inclined to make a reasonable offer to your creditors. I have no doubt you have the means. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAAIB and a bench of Ma gistrates.) Eliza Haslar, aged 15, 1 7) 16, and Eliza /4cm s w im , 16, wt re indicted for stealing a coral neck lace, viAtie Bs., the property of Edwin Tillott, from the person of Eliz theth Tillott. It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Tillntt kept a confectionor's shop. The prisoners came in and bought some sweetmeats, and while one of them was paying for th others took the necklace from the child's neck and th,y all went away. They were followed and ac - give up th e nec k lace, ec.ar eo t h at they were cused of the robbery, and at the same time told that if would innocent, and Mr. Tillott gave th em i nto custody. A, t th l, e e y y b s e p i e .o a r k giv ti t i n e . tru l t , h he a y n d d young woman produced the necklace, which she picked up immediately atter the she saw one 01 the prisoners drop it. The jury found them Guilty.--They were sentenced to one month's imaprisoument, ten days of which were to be solitary. I MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Ann Yeah, a meanly attired middle-aged woman, was charged by John Kinnor, a labourer, re siding at Isaac's-place, Somers-town, with robbing him of two shillings. Prosecutor stated that he met the prisoner between three and four o'clock in the morning, who asked him if he thought there was any hope of getting a. drop of drink, to which he answered " No," when she suggested that they should go to a coffee-chop in the New-road, and whilst on the way thither he felt the prisoner's hand in his pocket and seized it, but certainly did not find any money, although he afterwards missed two shillings, and consequently gave her in charge. The female searcher at the station-house deposed to finding a canvass bag in prisoner's bosom containing 281. in gold. Prisoner, in reply to Mr. RAWLINSON, said , he was a washerwoman, and worked very hard, and her sister having told the Bench that she knew of the prisoner s having hoarded the money, she was discharged. CL ERKEN V. LL.-(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged w oman, named Mary Ann S out h , was charged with stealing a valuable china tea-service, two silver spoons, a gallon of whisky, and several bottles of wine and rum, the property of Mr. Hunter, of 42, Myd dleton-square. It appeared from the evidence that Mr. Hunter and his family left England for France about the latter end of the summer, and did net return until last Thursday. During the interval the prisoner was left in charge of the house in Myddleton-square, and on Mrs. Iluntvr's return she missed the tea-service and spoons, and sub sequently, upon another search, it was found that a quantity of wine and spirits had been takes away from the cellar. Two of the detective police of the G division proved having taken the prisoner into custody at her lodgings in Tabernacle-walk, where they found the greater por tion of the teaTservice on a shelf in the room. She said the things %ere her own. a Mr. Hunt er , h owever, identified the whole of the rticles, and t h e prisoner, who declined saying anything in her d e f ence, was committed for trial, .DRURY-LANB THEATRE.—We are ____________ per ceive that Our anticipatons respecting Madame Anna Bishop, in Balfe's opera, the Maid if Artois, are i ealised to the fullest extent, and that her finished style of sing inghappy to per is nct only apprf dated by all real amateurs of music, bat by the public, Which is manifest from the of en thusiastic m anner she is encored in several pieces of the opera nighJy.

DIVIDENDS.—The general impression that thel 3ol4 of England would yesterday commence paying the 01 ber divid en d s to t h e pu b l i c has proved erroneous, beto, founded on a wrong construction of an alteration late? 4 made by the Bank of England. To understand this it necessary to describe the general practice of that instiql., tion. The di v id en d s on the public securities are usual ly paid three days after they fall due--that is to say-- Those due on the sth of January are paid on the B . gv" sth of April Su' sth of July Bth. 10th of October 1301 The two days following that on which the db . ' . dends become due are occupied in delivering th e warrants to banker s an d ot h ers, and on the tlit. day the public receive their warrants, and tbt, money also. If a S un d ay intervened between the actual quarter-d a y an d the third day, the two dill' occupied in delivering the warrants to the bankers, ece:: caused the public, day to fall one day later—that is t" say, the payments were made on the 9th of January April, and July, and on the 14th of October. It has' however, occasionally happened, that applications have been m a d e i n t h e October quarter to pay the dividend; on the thi r d d ay, notwithstanding the intervention '2 the Sunday, and in case of compliance the bankers re" ceive their warrants one day earlier. This was the case in the present quarter, the bankers beginning to 1.007 their warrants on t h e 10th, Saturday, on the setts quarter-day, an d t h e public beginning to receive thei r money to - morrow. —Times' City Article. PROFESSOR SCUONBEIN'S GUN COTTON.—A Shor t time since an experimental trial took place in the proof square of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, with the newly invented gun cotton of Professor Schonbein, of Basle' The result of the experiment was highly satisfactorif and has lcd, we understand, to an order for the PO' fessor to manufacture a larger quantity, with which ex' periments will take place with heavy ordnance, in th e presence of the Select Committee. Those who wit" nessed the fi r i ng o f a rifle in the proof s quare , which was fired with a minimum charge of the cotton by Lieu tenant-Colonel Dunclas, state that there was e ° rep ,rt, no smoke, no recoil, and scarcely any r est' duum in th e b reach of the gun; in fact they were not aware of the gun having been fired till the effects of she La 1 wore seen. to to to 171 h to
