VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 3. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) TUE DAILY NEWS.—BRADBURY V. MARRIOTT. Mr. BETHELL, upon his Honour taking his seat this morn ing, renewed his application for leave to give notice of a motion for to-morrow, for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from publishing a daily newspaper, under the title of the Daily News, the name of the new morning journal, pub lished since the opening of Parliament by the plaintiff. In consequence of the leave given by the Court on the 26th of the last month, notice had been given of the intention of the plaintiffs to move for the injunction. Upon receiving that notice the defendant appeared to express his repentance of what he had done; but since then he had issued handbills, announcing his intention to publish a paper, to be called the Daily News, at 2id., and it therefore became necessary to apply for the injunction. His HONOUR gave leave for the Learned Counsel to apply for the injunction to-morrow. THE CORPORATION OF LOUTH V. THE WARDENS OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL OF LOUTH. The further arguments in this part-heard cave occupied the Court the remainder of the day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 3. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Westminster Hall, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAX and a Common Jury.) KILBY V. ELCOMB. In this case it appeared that the plaintiff was a dancing master, who sought to recover damages from the defandant, by reason of the injury he sustained from the bite of a dog kept by the defendant, which was in the habit of snapping and biting at passers-by. The charge not having appeared to be proved to the satis faction of the jury, a verdict was returned for the defendant. The next case was one involving a charge against ti e Alsia steamer, trading between London and Yarmo:„„n, for negligent navigation, by which a coa l b arge w : sunk, and her cargo, value 301., was lost, to which T;413 added the loss of the vessel, 301. more. Several witnesses were exanllnta to prove the fact, and amount of injury sustained i oy the owners of the barge; and witnesses for the defence were under examination when our report left. COURT OF EXCHEQUEB, Feb. 3. .. , • (Sittings at Nisi Prius after Term, before Mr. Baron PLATT and Special Juries.) THE ATTORNEY -GENERAL V. CREUTZER. -- SAME V. :BOUVET- _ DAVID. In these cases, which were informations filed at the in stance of the Crown for the infringement of the Excise laws, verdicts were taken by consent for the plaintiff. THE ATTORNEY GEXERA.L V. WARD. This was another information filed at the instance of the Crown for an infringement of the Excise laws, to which the defendant had pleaded that he was not guilty. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown; and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. The Sommon-GENERA L stated the case for the Crown. The information had been tiled against the defendant, who was a labourer occupying a small cottage at a place called Willoughby, on the Lincolnshire coast, for concealing a quantity of tobacco which had not paid duty to the Crown. From information which the Revenue officers of the neigh bourhood received in December, 1844, they proceeded and searched the defendant's premises, where they found con cealed in a shed adjoining the house a quantity of tobacco, amounting in all to 3,000 lbs. in weight. The defendant and his wife pretended they knew nothing of the tobacco, nor how it came into their shed ; but the fact of a mouse's nest having been found in the centre of the tobacco, proved that it had been concealed there for a long time, and the shed was so situated that a person could not have got at it without being seen by the inmates of the defendant's cottage. There was too much reason to believe that the defendant was connected with a gang of smugglers, who made his premises the receptacle for their contraband goods; and it ' would be nonsense for the defendant to say that he knew nothing of the tobacco, or how it came into his shed, because he never could have gone to feed his pigs, which were in a sty adjoining the shed, without smelling it. Mr. Baron PLATT—Hardly so by the side of a pig-sty. The SOLICITOR. GENERAL continued— The Act of Par liament under which this information was filed rendered the defendant liable to pay a penalty of 2001. and treble the value of the tobacco, which was 315/. 15s. 6d. The infor mation was therefore to recover 515/. 15s. 6d. Evidence having been adduced to prove the case, Mr. NVORDSWORTH addressed the jury for the defence, de claring that the tobacco was deposited in the shed without the defendant's knowledge, and that no one was more sur prised when it was discovered there than the defendant himself. The Soucrron-GE:vznal. replied, ridiculing the idea that so large a bulk of tobacco could be placed upon the defend ant's premises without his knowledge or consent. There could, he contended, be no reasonable doubt that the contra band goods were placed in the shed with the guilty know ledge of the defendant, and therefore the verdict of the jury ought to be for the Crown. Mr. Baron PLAIT then summed up; and the jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 3. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice ERLE and a Common Jury). The Court was engaged all the forenoon with an action of trespass, arising out of a street collision between a fly and a waggon, the particulars of which were of no interest what ever to the public. cue way again IN RE HARRIS.

The Court a im portant, and ordered the case to stand os ht tl i l a next Court day, when counsel would be further heard e o r n the i subject. GRUNSTOCK IN RE GRUNSTOCK. The petitioner in this case appeared to complain of a fiat of bankruptcy which had been issued against hi m on t h e 3d of December last. On the 2d of that month the Court had annulled a fiat against the same party, and on the following day, and previous to the order, annulling the fiat having been signed by the Lord Chancellor, another fiat was' issued against him by the same solicitor, at the instance of the same creditors, from whom the former had issued. Counsel for the petitioners were heard on three objections against the fiat. Ist. That the bill of particulars was not sufficient; 2d. That the summons served on the bankrupt was not endorsed with the name and address of the attorneys ; and 3d. That there was discrepancy in the sums of the accounts rendered. The COURT ordered that the petition should stand over, with liberty to the bankrupt to bring such action as he might be advised, and with liberty to apply to the Court CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Joseph Barrett, 36, late a constable belonging to the City police force, was indicted for stealing six quarts of wine and eighteen bottles, the property of George Barker. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor appeared for the prisoner. The only points of interest in this case were the cir cumstance of the position of the prisoner, and the in genious manner in which the robbery was committed. It appeared that the prosecutor had let a part of his house to the prisoner, and he occupied it with his wife. A portion of the premises so occupied was over the pro secutor's wine -cellar, and the prisoner had taken ad vantage of this, to break a hole through the floor, and by this means abstracted the property. At the last session the prisoner's wife pleaded guilty to the robbery and was sentenced to six month's imprisonment. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. PAYNE said that the prosecutor had lost pro perty to a very considerable amount, and there was this circumstance of aggravation in the case of the pri soner, that he appeared to have induced his wife to plead guilty to the charge on the former occasion, in the hope that ho might thereby himself escape pun ishment. The RECORDER said it was quite unnecessary to urge any topic of aggravation, as the case in itself was one of a very serious character, which rendered it his duty to pass a severe sentence, viz. transportation for seven years. Mr. Barker said, that on a former occasion he hail recommended the woman to the merciful consideration of the Court ; believing that the prisoner was the mor, guilty of the two, and he was still desirous, if it were possible, to obtain some mitigation of her punishment. The RECORDER said that if any representation was made to the Secretary of State, and he was referred to, he should not oppose an alteration of the sentence that had been passed upon the wife of the prisoner. Edwin William Edwards, 17, described as a clerk, was indicted for stealing a cash-box, 6/. in silver money, and a 51. Bank of England note, the property of John Edward Creevy, and another. Mr. Baldwin defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor and his brother carry on the business of a licensed victualler, No. 100, High Holborn, and on the night of Jan. 6, the prisoner and some other persona were in the bar-parlour partaking of some refreshments, and very soon after the persons were gone the cash-box and its contents were missed. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner, and from information received by the police, a constable went to the lodgings occupied by him, and betwinii the bed and the mattress he found the cash-boyi, the lock of which had been abstracted from it. forced and them ~ „e y The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was se7;venced to be imprisoned and kept to hard-labour fr..; six months. Frederick Tyler Russell, 22, pleaded guilty to an in dictment, charging him with feloniously forging and uttering an order for the payment of 551., with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. sentence was deferred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-ROUSE. THE CORPORATION AND THE WATERMAN'S STEAM BOAT COMPANY.—Mr. Webster Flockton, who was a few days ago convicted before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having caused a barge to be laid before the archway at Paul's-wharf, thereby obstructing the clear and orderly passing of craft, appeared again before his Lordship to answer a complaint for a repetition of the alleged offence, upon the 30th of January. As might be expected, from the hostile condition of affairs between the Corporation and the Waterman's Steam-boat Company, much interest was excited. It will be recollected that Mr. Flockton appealed against the convi►•tion in the first case. The defendant conducted his own defence, and before the evidence was taken de clared that there was no obstruction at the plying-place, and that the access to the stairs was as free as was the access to the Old Swan stairs, Mr. Thornton's wharf, or any other plying• place in the neighbourhood. The LORD MAYOR said he drew no comparison be tweea any two cases, and would not allow one to inter fere at all with another. Henry Kirby, waterman and lighterman, stated that on the day specified in the summons, a barge with " W. Flockton, No. 644" upon it was lying upon Paul's-wharf causeway, fastened to the piles. He always considered that the place belonged to the Corporation. No boat proceeding from London-bridge could get to the stairs without going round the barge, which floated at high water, but was aground at low water. The piles about the place were placed there by the Corporation. The LORD MAYOR—Can you reach the public stairs through the piles with a boat ? Witness—No. The LORD MAYOR—In what way does the barge hinder the due and orderly passing of boats to the landing place ? Witness—lf I attempted to go to the stairs between the piles I should be liable to have my boat smashed between the barge and the stairs. I must go ruund the barge, if I want to get to the stairs. The LORD MAYOR—Are these stairs public? Witness .—Yes, I have known them to be so these thirty years, and the City to keep the piles in repair. I have not rowed to the stairs since the barge has been there. I have been differently employed. The witness produced his freedom in the Waterman's and Lighterman's Company, which was examined by Mr. Banyon, the clerk to the Company, and pronounced genuine. The LORD MAYOR—Does the barge so obstruct the passage to the stairs that if a person were to fall from it into the river a boat would have to go round before it could resider assistance ? Witness—Certainly. l‘ly Lord, it has gone abroad that I have been instigated by rival concerns to appear in this business. That is not the fact ; we are hard-working men, and we contend that we have rights as well as steam-boat proprietors. I am contending for our right. Mr. Flockton—My Lord, the complainant says he is a hardworking man, and that he is injured by the posi• den of the barge. Now, upon the first accusation against me he admitted that he had not rowed a boat, nor been in the habit of rowing one for eight years; how, then, can he be aggrieved by the barge? I said and I believe that he is employed by the old Steam-boat Company of Woolwich. The complainant—l am not biassed by any company, I positively assert, my Lord. Mr. Flockton—The barge is a small way upon the causeway, but to call it an obstrnction is quite absurd. It lies opposite to a shed, and is in the mud, where it cannot occupy any space injuriously to those who wish to land passengers at the stairs. Robert G. Hasler, a fraeman of the Waterman and Lighterman's Company, gave evidence similar to that given by the complainant, as to the obstructive position of the barge, and stated that she h ►d lain in the same place every day since the movement of the first com plaint, and that she formed a permanent impediment. The LORD MAYOR—Has your boat ever come to the stairs since you first saw the barge there ? Witness— Never. Mr. Flockton—Have you a boat which plies to those stairs ? Witness—No. If I had they were so occu pied that I could not do anything there. Mr.lFlockton—lt is evident, my Lord, that this man is no more injured than the other. The LORD MAYOR said the evidence of both wit nesses went to show that if a person fell off the barge NESDA Y MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1846. erasing from that passage all that had reference to the other states of Europe —erasing from that passage every syllable that showed the division of opinion, and leaving it to stand as if it had reference to this country alone. He remembered having had a conversation with the late Sir Charles Begot, and another with Sir Stratford Canning, on the subject, and he would undertake to say that it was his firm belief, that in the history of the country or of anything in which her Majesty was ever concerned, there never was a stratagem more un worthy of any man that professed to hold the situation of a gentleman; he had utterly disabused the powers which ,had been assigned to him. He would ask whether any Member of that House, pos sessing gentlemanly feeling, could justify that ? He would now call attention to the evidence given before the Import Duties Committee, in the year 1804. He was most unwilling to trespass on the time of the House with this subject • but he would be able to show that throughout the who le of this evidence he mould be able to maintain his position, and it seemed to him that the Chairman of that Committee had endeavoured to prove his posi tion even by his per oratio. The Honourable Mem ber then read several extracts from the evidence to which he had alluded, including that of Mr. Smyth, Dr. Bowring, and Mr. Cobden, given at Manchester. The Hon. Member for Bolton wrote to the same effect to Lord Palmerston. It was not only in that part of his negotiations where he exhibited such sentiments. He played the same part in Egypt. From information which he (Mr. Wodehouse) had received, and on which be bad every reason to rely, there was exhibited a scene before the Pacha of Egypt of such a nature as to excite surprise. The interpreter, on that occasion, could scarcely contain himself with laughter.— (Laughter.) He (Mr. Wodehouse) had his information from a lady—(Laughter)—a married lady.—(Continued laughter.) She was a lady with whom he was in the habit—(Great laughter, in which the remainder of the sentence was lost.) He was not an eye-witness of the affair, but there could be no doubt as to the :authenticity of her information. If Hon. Members had seen the Ho% Gentleman going about there as she saw him — ( r .4anghter)—with a large straw hat, having a brim as large: as that table (pointing to the table before him.), a full flowing beard, and a wide t e r re w of eir eassian trousers (Loud l aug ht er ). .3 another point connected with this subject to which * tie should wish to refer. Ia the same report he fonnti an observation from Dr. Harding, to whom wigs committed the examination into the state of the hand loom weavers in the east of Scotland. Dr. Hard lag expressed himself thus :—" The only remedy 'universally suggested by the weavers and their em ployers was the total repeal of the p res ent corn-laws." He had a l rea d y state d the reason why he thought a Measure of this kind would be inimical to the Interests of the hand-loom weavers. Notwithstanding the excitement and prejudice existing among weavers on this subject—an excitement fostered by political agita tion—the more intelligent persons were aware that a repeal of these laws would have an injurious effect on agriculture. This would ultimately injure the weavers themselves, by diminishing the de mand for textile manufactures. How far their commerce might be checked b 7 foreign powers, who desired to encourage their home manufactures, must be left to the wisdom of the Legislature to ascer ta n. He did not wish to occupy the time of the House, and he would, therefore, at once move for a copy of the warrant, or other document of authority, by which H. S. Chapman, Esq., Assistant Commissioner under the Commission appointed to inquire into the condition of the hand-loom weavers, and acting in that capacity in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in 1838, was afterwards ap pointed Chief Judge of the Supreme Court at Wellington, in New Zealand, in 1843 ; also the papers relating to tariffs published in the United States, and presented in pursuance of an address of the 18th July, 1828, viz. Copy of a dispatch from H. U. Addington, Esq., to Mr. Secretary Canning, dated Washington, May 30th, 1824, and of Mr. Vaughan to Viscount Dudley, dated Washington, August 13, 1827, with other inclosures. Dr. BOWRING said, that perhaps he might be al lowed to say a word or two, as he had been alluded to by the Honourable Member who had just sat down. He would pass over the rather personal allusions to himself, and merely allude to the communication re ceived from a lady who seemed to have prac tised somewhat largely on the Hon. Member's credulity. While he was in Cairo he had the honour of receiving many communications from the people of that city on the subject. Mehemet Ali believed that he could regu late the price of corn by legislation, and issued a decree that no more than a certain price should be paid for it. He (Dr. Bowring) in the friendly intercourse with which he was honoured, presented to Mehemet Ali a state ment that the consequence of that measure would be very likely an extensive and enduring state of public distress. The distress did become very great in conse quence of that measure. The decree restricting the price of corn, beans, and bread at the bazaars, had the effect of producing extreme suffering in the city. The owners of corn would not bring it into the market, and the bakers refused to bake any bread. He (Dr. Bowring) had the good fortune to convince Mehemet Ali that his theory of protection was very injurious, and a decree was issued allowin; that imports and exports of foreign corn should be fre e. The effect of that measure was that the distress was at once alleviated, and he had the honour of receiv ing the thanks of Mehemet Ali for his advice. Had a repeal of the corn-laws been earlier introduced he believed that a majority of the Members of this house would have been f 'Lind to support the system in which he for one felt a very great interest, and which he hoped would shortly become the law of the land. He had been sent to ascertain the feeling of the northern governments with regard to the introduction of British manufactures, and he found an evident feeling to give every facility to that introduction, and the law that would allow of the introduction of their produce with England would evidently increase that feeling, to the benefit of our commercial interests. He rejoiced to hear the Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government say that he was weary of making applications to foreign nations for the admission of our manufactures. He (Dr. B ) considered that we should set an example on this point. —(Hear, hear.) Before we healed other men's diseases we should look to our own. We should reform our own tariffs before we complained of those of other nations. Ho was therefore glad to have the opportunity of thank ing the Right Honourable Baronet for what he had al ready done, and he sincerely united that he would not be deterred from proceeding in the course which had been adopted by any injudicious observations on either side of the House. He felt assured that there was every disposition among foreign communities to respond to his good feeling s. And if there were any doubt of the fact every one w ho, like himself, had received communications from foreign communities, could bear ample testimony that no change had occurred in disposition. If they required zany additional information with respect to the feel ings to which he had alluded, he was quite sure that the Right Hon. Baronet would take the trouble to ascertain the true principles of businesF, and would condescend to appoint teacher.. lie was certain that in future there - would bo no deficiency of apt pupils. The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. BROTHERTON (on the part of Mr. Elphin stole) then moved f a return of the gross and net incomes (in the years 18 L 4 and 1845) of the archbishops and bishops of England and Wales, whether arising from their alc'sbishoprics and bishoprics, or from any other ecclesiastical preferment, or from any other lay or spiritual offic3 hell by them respectively, stating how much arises from each of such sources, and distinguishing all sums paid to, or received from, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners; also, stating by how much such total income of each archbishop or bishop is greater or less than the incomes proposed in the pre. atnble of the Act 6 and 7 Wrn. IV., cap. 77 ; return of the name of each archbishop and bishop, and the date of their appointment to their respective sees. On the motion being put, Mr. COLLETT said that he begged to give notice for leave to bring in a Bill similar to that which he brought under the attention of the House during the last session: he meant that for the consolidation of the two bishoprics of Bath and Wells. He conceived that in this case there was no claim for compensation, for during the seven years one of two circumstances must have occurred : either the duties of the two sees had been efficiently performed, and in that case there was no necessity for two bishops, or they had not been efficiently performed, and the Government neglected their duty. He felt, however, obliged to take the former alternative, and to believe that the duties had been efficiently performed; and that the diocesan had not baen embarrassed by the amount of duties thrown upon his hands. And he (Mr. Collett) therefore trusted that the suggestion which he now threw out would meet with the attention it d eserved. According to his vies , the establishment of the bishops in the llousl of Li rds was the concentrated essence of all that was bad and ob'etetionable. He considered th em useless both t o t h e laity j and to the Crown. The motion was then akre_td to. LOCAL TAXATION. Mr. WODEHOUSE moved that the return relative to local taxation, f rates, sand church-ra z. tes,-rat3*' county rates, high way est tmug No. 562, of 1839, b e re pri n ted.—O r : o re 1.

In answer to a q uestion proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSE7,L, Sir R. PEEL said that it was not the intention of her Msjesty's Government to introduce the question of the sugar duties before the sense of the House was taken on the other articles of food mentioned in his speech on the commercial policy of the Governniont during the present session. THE IRISH ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION. Mr. P. FRENCH was informed, in answer to a ques tion which he proposed to the Right lion. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland, that it was the intention of the Government to repay out of the Consolidated Fund tb• sum of 60,0001., which hful been borrowed from the Board of Works by the Irish Ecclesiastical Commission.

Member of that Hon3o had resigned his THE seat, and had accepted office under the Government, and if so, what that office was, and whether a new writ had been moved for? Sir R, PEEL said he had heard that the Honourable Member alluded to by his Honourable Friend (Lord Ashley) had retired, and that he had also accepted office under the Government, and that that office was a steward ship of the Chiltern Hundreds.—(Laughter.) There were certain forms to be gone through before a new writ could be moved for to fill the place vacated by the Noble Lord.—(Hear, hear.) CHARITABLE TRUSTS.

IN RE THE FORTH INSURANCE COMPANY. To-day was appointed for the last examination of the par ties who represented the Company. Mr. Cooke, the barrister, appeared for the Company, and Mr. Ashurst and Mr. Lawrence on behalf of divers share holders. Mr. CooxE addressed the Learned Commissioner, remind ing him that the examination had been adjourned for two months, in order to give Mr. Lawrence an opportunity of examining the accounts, which, however, he had not availed himself of. The accounts, however, were perfectly satisfactory to the o ffi cial ass i gnee , an d h e (111 r. Cooke) had now to apply to the Court to allow the assignee to present a petition in Chancery in order that the affairs might be wound up, the bankrupts being allowed to pass their examination. Mr. Asuunsv said he appeared on behalf of nine share holders. holding four hundred shares. They were perfectly solvent, and anxious to discharge their liabilities to the creditors. He therefore would concur in any mode proposed to obtain a settlement of the estate. Mr. LAWRENCE appeared on behalf of the shareholders, and said that he had not had time to go into the accounts as he had to get interrogatories put and answered in Scot laod ; but from the inquiry that had been made, there was good ground to allege that there had been gross mismanage ment of the affairs of the Company—this case was far from an ordinary one, as it would be impossible that the case could be hereafter reviewed by the Commissioner on the granting of the certificate. He contended that the case was one which ought to be gone into by the Learned Commis sioners. The questions arising were such as could not well be raised in any other way, as an important question would arise between the shareholders and directors, if there had been a mismanagement on the part of the latter. There had been a loss in two years of 136,1551. 4s. on under writing; and when they were in notorious and avowed insolvency, they continued trading, and even whilst at a loss, they declared a dividend in June, 1842. His clients would be bound by the report of his Honour to the Board of Trade if his Honour was satisfied that the directors had fully an swered the charges against them. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he should most cer tainly go on with the case from day to day. After a further discussion an adjournment was agreed on, that the accounts might be further inspected, and that wit nesses should be examined as to the alegations made by Mr. Lawrence. SHERIFFS' COURT, Feb. 3. (Before ➢ir. Under-Sheriff BURCDELL.) FARMER V. REYNOLDS. The plaintiff in this action is an iron merchant at Padding ton, and the defendant a builder at Notting-hill. The claim was for 81. 55., the balance of an account for goods sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded a set off, and paid 21. 6s. 2 1 4 d. into Court. The set off was for iron taken by plaintiff at the request of the defendant, and the only ques tion was as to weight and value. The plaintiff admitted that he had had 21 cwt. of common English bar-iron, and a witness in plaintiff's service said that in July, 1843, the fair price for plaintiff to buy at was about 41. 10s. per cwt., but if he had sold to defendant the charge would have probably been 71. or 7/. 10s. Mr.Rorfe, of the firm of Forman and Thompson, iron mer chants, gave evidence that the charge to the plaintiff, as a wholesale dealer, would have been 41. 15s. per ton. For the defendant it was contended that the delivery of the whole of the goods had not been proved, and the plain tiff ought to allow the same sum for the iron as he himself would have charged. A witness was called, who said that he considered such iron to have been 6s. per cwt.; he had known the same kind of iron to fetch 211. a ton. Verdict for plaintiff for the full amount. a boat must go round, and by the delay less of life might be incurred. Mr. John Banyon, clerk to the Waterman's Company, stated that Mr. Flockton was a freeman of the Watcr man and Lighterman's Company, and one of the as sistants of the company, and his barges were registered with the company. Mr. Flockton admitted that the number on his barges was 664, and said he had witnesses to whom he wished to put a few questions. Richard Farmson stated that he had been a water man and lighterman forty years, and was at the present time one of the only twelve or fourteen working water men with scullers on the river. If be had a fare that wanted to go to Paul's-wharf, he would take that fare to the stairs at any time. He would not think of going between the pile, as that would not be a waterman's act, and accompanied with danger, and he always considered the property between pile and pile, opposite to Need ham's shed, to be for the benefit of the public. The next witness was William Kelly, a lighterman. His evidence was of no importance. The complainant—Why, this was the man who was employed by the Waterman's Company to bring down the craft to block up the stairs with. The LORD MAYOR said he considered the case against Mr. Flockton proved, and convicted that gentleman in the penalty of 20s. Mr. Flockton—My Lord, I appeal against that as well as against your former conviction. The usual recognisances having been entered into, Mr. Flockton said, I trust your Lordship will grant me a summons against the master of the Blackfriars bridge Pier, fcr having obstructed my craft. The LORD MAYOR -4R what way? Mr. Flockton— In not permitting me to land there from time to time. The LORD MAYOR—Under what section of the Act? Mr. Flockton—l am not just prepared to say. The LORD MAYOR —You had better make the applica tion after having properly prepared yourself. Mr. Floc • kton—Certainly I can apply to-morrow. Kirby (the complainant in the case just decided) said he wished for a summons in the case of another barge which made part of the platform at Paul's-wharf, but to which was attached no name or number. The LORD MAYOR—Against whom do you wish to take out the summons? Kirby—Against Mr. Flockton. The LORD MAYOR—I cannot grant anything of the kind, except you prove the barge to be his. Mr. Flockton—My Lord, this platform at Paul's wharf is a great public convenience. It is meant to draw away from the Blackfriars'-pier the cause of disagree ment, and to administer to the accommodation of the public, and these men sustain no damage upon earth from it. The steam-boat pier ended for the day in the Lord Mayor's unsolicited assurance that the cases should be conducted to the first adjudication in such a way as would occasion as little expense as possible. John Thomas, alias James Dyer, and Mary Thomas, who were charged on Monday, the first, with having personated a Greenwich pensioner, and the second with having aided and assisted in the deception, were brought up for re-examination. The following additional evidence was produced : George Perry, a veteran of the Hospital, said he knew John Thomas, a pensioner, from 1835 to 1842, in the Hospital, and he had known him in 1810 in New Provi dence. - He had committed some offence and had been diScharged from the College, and witness saw no more of him. Knew the wife of John Thomas. That was she at the bar ; but the man at the bar was not John Thomas.—(A laugh.) Knew nothing at all of the man at the bar. The description of John Thomas in the College re gister was produced. It bore no sort of reference to the prisoner —It was quite a contrast. Joseph M'Lean, an officer at the Hospital, said the female prisoner called upon him and requested him to call and see her husband, John Thomas, who was sick. He went, but found that the person she called her hus band was drunk, and unable to answer, and he went away. At her request witness called again, and then a person, who covered himself up with a blanket in bed, said his name was John Thomas, but witness could not say the prisoner was the man. The LORD MAYOR—(to the woman)—ls your hus band alive ? The female prisoner—He is indeed, my Lord, The LORD MAYOR—Where is he ? The female pri soner—(pointing to the man who stood shivering next to her.)—" Why, here he is I"—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR— His name is Dyer. He is not your husband, John Thomas. The female prisoner— Indeed he is ; I wish you'd send for the man and woman at Whitechapel church, who gave me away to him. The LORD MAYOR—What ! to the man who stands by you ? The female prisoner—Yes ; to my husband. The LORD MAYOR—What doyou say ?—(to the man) — are you this woman's husband ? The male prisoner— (in a very feeble tone, and looking at the woman)— " Yes." The female prisoner —Oh, he is greatly altered. The LORD MAYOR—So a body would think indeed, for he has grown at least half a foot higher since he was in Greenwich Hospital. Not to say a word of other points of difference. In answer to several other questions, the wretched looking object said he was too ill to say anything. He neither knew the name of the ship to which he belonged, nor the number of the ward in which he was lodged in the hospital, nor anything else. There was no evidence produced of the death of the real John Thomas, and the Lord Mayor regretted that he was obliged to discharge the couple. GUILDHALL. James Sehoay, a man about 55 years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, charged with obtain ing upwards of 5001. by false pretences from Ann Leo Leo, a widow. Mrs. Leo, who appeared to be about ten years younger than the prisoner, stated that she charged him with having broken open her boxes, about two years ago, in Whitechapel, and carried off many articles of wearing apparel, and also obtaining from her all her money, by pretending he would marry her. At that time she lived in Kennet-wharf, Thames street. He told her that her relations would seize all her money, and put her in the madhouse. One day, when she was out, two men called and made inquiry, as she was in formed, for the purpose of taking her off to a madhouse. This was all a hoax. Her relations had no idea of the kind, but the prisoner so worked on her fears, that she went to the Bank with him, and sold out all her money. He took it up, except the odd gold. He carried her over to France, but did not keep his word by marrying her there, and after a short residence he came back to England. He got rid of all her money. Mrs. Leo's niece said the prisoner laid a regular plot to bamboozle her aunt. He asked her if her aunt had any money. She told him she had ; and he observed he would have it in a month. She laughed at him, but by his lying he got it in three weeks. And now her aunt was in the workhouse, and be was after another woman with money. The prisoner said Mrs. Leo knew he was a married man, and could not marry her. As to the money, she placed it in his hands most kindly, as her niece could testify. They went to France, where he bought a horse of Lord Cowley, and they enjoyed themselves for a time. Then he took a house at Brighton. He could explain how he lost the money. Mr. Alderman HUGHES H.GHES stopped him to inquire of the complainant if she knew from the beginning that he was a married man ?—She admitted she did; and that was the reason they were to go to France. The ALDERMAN asked if it were true that she lived with him as his wife for months after he broke open her boxes. — She admitted that it was so. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, then as she had forgiven him, he must forgive him also, and dismissed the charge. George Cree, a lad, was charged with assaulting Kirk patrick, City policeman 150. The officer said he was on duty in West-street on Satur day evening. Five or six persona were making an obstruc tion. He ordered them on, and the prisoner struck him on the eye. Mr. Alderman HUGHES asked him what he was doing to let such a boy reach his eye? The policeman replied he did reach it. The prisoner said his mother and sister were waiting to make a purchase at a shop. They were stopping to repeat an offer. The policeman came up, pushed them on, and threatened to take them into custody. The mother said her son did not strike the officer at all ; he only remonstrated. The ALDERMAN asked the officer if his eye was blackened by the blow. The officer said it was not. The party was causing an ob struction, and the poll: e could not do their duty if magistrates would not protect them. Mr. Alderman WILSON observed that the police would always be protected by the magistrates in the faithful dis charge of their duties; but they should be careful not to use unnecessary violence, and pay attention to the instructions issued by the Commissioner. Having become acquainted with their duties, they should take care not to go beyond them. Mr. Alderman HeGnEs HUGHES said the boy was only endeavouring to protect his mother and sister. Ire had been sufficiently punished. The prisoner was discharged. The stewards of the United Loyal Britons Benefit Society, held at the Mail-coach, in Noble-street, appeared before Aldermen Hughes Hughes and Hunter, to answer the com plaint of William Pearson, for unlawfully excluding him from the society. The ground of the exclusion was explained to be, the omit ting to pay the fine due on the quarterly night on the next monthly meeting night thereafter. Mr. Lewis, for the complainant, said he had been a mem ber for 32 years, and had paid in about 2/. a year on an average, and now he was likely soon to require the benefits for which he had been struggling to provide so many years, every chance was snapped at to get rid of him. In March he received a notice of the quarterly contribution, ss. 4d., and the fines in addition, and that he must pay them up on the "grace night," or be excluded. He accordingly paid them. In June he received another letter requiring ss. 4d., with 103. 6d. fines, but there was no notice that he would be excluded if they were not paid. Pearson wrote in reply that lie had paid off these fines in April, and had the receipt. In fact, however, new fines for not serving offices had been im posed, but no answer was given to his letter, aid he was allowed to suppose his explanation was satisfactory till the grace-night came, when his ss. 4d. was received from the Chelsea carrier, and he was declared excluded for non-pay ment of the fines. After paying his contributions for thirty two years could he be supposed to intend to forfeit all his claims ? There was a misunderstanding on his part, and some finesse on the part of the club to take advantage. The non -clearing of the books should he wilful, or with the know ledge of the member, to warrant exclusion. Suppose his messengers had been run over on the way to the club-house, should the member be excluded ? The magistrates had some latitude in considering the case. The Secretary i ns i s ted on the necessity of the most r' , gid adherence t o the letter of the articles. The articles declared for what a m e mber should be excluded , and it was meedless to warn m em b ers of their defaults. Mr. Ald erman HUGHES HUGHES said the motto to their articles was very good. It set for th that if one m ember of a Society su ff ers , the whole body suffers with i t , and the design of the society was, that they should assist each other to the utmost when in affliction. It was true this t their ill treatment of an old member would damage the character of the wh o l e b o d y. P earso n had not made default :knowingly % and ought to be restored. Mr. Alde rman Iluerrets took the same view *lf the case, and it was ord ere d that Pearson should be reinstated on pay ing up all arrea rs . WE STMINSTER. John Jacks on , a cabman, was finally examireet charged with stabbing Thomas Carter, a labourer, The facts of the case were briefly three :—The prosecutor and prisoner were together during the greater part of Tues day; and wrangled; and went into the Horseferry-road to tight. After two or three rounds prisoner was observed by the bystanders with a clasp knife in his right hated, acid it was immediately discovered that the prosecutor was wounded in the upper part of the abdomen. Prisoner was secured and given into the custody of a constable, and pro secutor conveyed to the hospital, from which he absented himself on the following morning, contrary to the entreaty of the medical gentleman who dressed his wound. Prosecutor appeared before the magistrates to-day and give his evidence, but with an obvious desire to screen the prisoner. The policeman who apprehended the stecueed produced a clasp knife, covered with blood, which he had found clenched in his right hand. Mr. Bon observed that this was a very grave offence, and he regretted to say much upon the increase. Although the prosecutor might feel kindly disposed towards the accused, he (the Magistrate) should, in justice to the community, commit him for trial.—Committed accordingly. The several witnesses 1 ad no sooner been bound over to prose cute, than The prisoner's wife complained that the prosecutor had robbed her of 10s. by having undertaken to abandon the prosecution, which sum she had given him. Mr. BOND observed that she should not have been so fool ish as to part with her money. John Russell, Anne Russell, and James Scott, were finally examined, charged with coining. The particulars of this case have already appeared. In spector Kenny, of the G division, having broken into a room in Johnson's-buildings, St. Anne street, Westminster, found the prisoners engaged in manufacturing spurious coin, the whole of the implements necessary for which, with a gal vanic battery, were found in the room. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Phillips, described as an accountant on the po lice-sheet, was charged with having knocked down a poor man, named Edwards, by a blow on the head with a heavy bludgeon. The complainant said, on Saturday night last he went into the Duke of Newcastle, Earl-street, Seven-dials, to get a light for his pipe, and while reaching up to the gas-lamp for that purpose, he happened to sneeze, and accidentally to touch the defendant, who was drinking at the bar, on the shoulder. The defendant, without saying a word, gave him a violent posh, and thin, lifting a heavy stick, which he carried, struck him a tremendous blow on the head, which stretched him senseless for a minute on the floor. The stick was here exhibited ; it was as thick as an ordi nary man's wrist, and sufficiently heavy to kill a man, if used with angry violence. A witness named Watson said he saw the defendant knock down the complainant like a bullock with his stick. The defendant ran out of the house immediately, but witness pur sued and collared him, and took the stick from him. 'The defendant, who, on the plea of extreme lameness, was accommodated with a seat, cross-examined the witness. Defendant—You pulled 'my stick from my wrist to which it was fastened? Witness--Yes. Defendant—lf you hadn't I should certainly have hit you with it ; but never mind that. what did I do when you stopped me ? Witness—You sung out " Murder!" Defendant—Yes; that's because I know what you are, and what you meant to do. Mr. MALTBY asked this witness if he saw any provocation given to the defendant by the complainant? The witness said he saw no provocation whatever given. Police-constable C 27, said, on hearing the cry of " Police" he went to the spot, and there he was told of the assault. The defendant, however, wanted to charge the complainant and the witness with having made an attempt to rob him. Witness told the defendant he must go to the station-house, and he could there tell the inspector anything he had to say. Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the defendant, said it was inconceivable that a gentleman of his respectable position in society would knock down a man in the complainant's in ferior station for nothing at all. The fair inference was that the defendant had received some insult, which, if it did not justify, at least accounted for the assault. Mr. MALTBY fined the defendant in the full penalty the law allowed, namely Si., or.two months' imprisonment. BENEVOLENCE.-5/. has been received from P. U. for the poor-box. John Hooky, Alexander 11PKey, and Thomas Boyd, jour neymen bakers, were charged with drunken and disorderly conduct, and assaulting the police. Police constable, No. 25, of the C division, stated that about one o'clock on Sunday morning the defendants were in Little Windmill-street, Haymarket, in a state of intoxica tion, and making a noise and disturbance. He directed them to pass on quietly, on which Boyd assaulted him, striking him violently in the face with his double fist, and he fell to the ground; while attempting to rise, Boyd kicked him. A police-constable who came to his assistance was also as saulted by Boyd. On Boyd being taken into custody the other defendants attempted to rescue him. The defendants pleaded intoxication. Mr. MAralir said that the police must and should be pro tected in the proper execution of their duty. As a punish ment to the defendants, and an example to others, he should impose on the defendant Mooley a fine of 50s. or thirty-one days imprisonment, M'Key 20s. or fourteen days, and Boyd 41. or six weeks. _ _ The defendants being unable to pay the fines were ocked up. MARY LEBOIVE. Samuel Wood was charged with having had in his posees lion property supposed to have been stolen. Sergeant Granger, 21 D, stated that on Saturday night last he met the prisoner carrying a large bundle, and on ask ing what was in it, and who he was, he said that he was a waiter at the Gresham Club-house, in the City, and that what he had with him was his own property. Witness not being satisfied with this version of the affair, took him to the station-house, and on the way thereto he (prisoner) offered to fall down on his knees and beg pardon, telling witness that if his employers knew of the disgraceful situa tion he was in he should be completely ruined. The bundle was opened at the station, and in it were found a bottle of beer, a pint bottle of Champagne, together with a quantity of bread, beef, butter, and three table napkins. The napkins were identified by the secretary and steward of the club, who stated that the rest of the property which the prisoner had in his possession when captured by the officer, had beyond all doubt been stolen from the establish ment in question. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, set forth that the wine, beer, Ike., which he had taken, were his own perqui sites, and that it was his intention to have returned the napkins; it was not usual for wine which had been sent up stairs to a party, and brought down again untouched, to be sent up a second time. This statement was satisfactorily disproved, and the pri soner was for the unlawful possession of the property fined 405.; in default of payment one month's imprisonment. James Elmore, residing in Ormond-yard, Duke-street, St. James's, was charged with having, under the following cir cumstances, evaded the payment of toll : Edward Reston, gate-keeper at Gibbs's Gate, New Finch ley-road, deposed that decadent came with a horse and cart close to the gate, and refused to pay the legal demand, viz. 6d. ; he unlawfully took from the vehicle a hamper which he carried the distance of nearly a quarter of a mile, and returned with two other hampers, with which he passed through the gate again, and placed them in the cart; he then drove away. Defendant, in answer to the charge, said that he should have gone through the gate and paid if he had had the money to enable him to do so; he was not aware he had acted wrong. The Magistrate fined him 40s. and the cost of the summons. Robert Frew and Henry Potter were charged with having stolen four loaves from a basket, while the owner thereof, Mr. Trehearne, living in Great College-street, Camden Town, was delivering bread in Wimpole-street. The property was found upon them, and they were com mitted for trial. Mr. Charles Aistrop, of the Black Boy, Hampstead, was charged with having unlawfully permitted and suffered gam bling in his house on the 22d alt. Evidence was given by officers of the S division of police, that they went into the souse and saw parties there, cards being at the same time on the table. There was no proof of Flaying for money or money's worth, and the complaint was dismissed. THE LATE CASE of INFANTICIDE. ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST. This extraordinary inquest was yesterday resumed at the Morden Arms, Brand-street, Greenwich, before Mr. Carttar. Mr. Wood, of Bridge-street. Southwark, deposed that on the morning of the 16th of September a person named Rey nolds called on him, stating that a lady had taken lodgings at her house who had come there to be confined. Witness called, and there saw Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Richardson, and the young woman. Finding the labour not likely to come on, although progressing favourably, he left. About three o'clock on the following morning (the 17th), witness was sent for, when he immediately attended, and in about half an hour afteiwards delivered her of a male child. Appeared a healthy child, and of full growth. Mrs. Reynolds and the young woman's mother were present at the birth; remained about half an hour after the birth, when he left the child in the care of Mrs. Reynolds. On the 18th he again saw the child, when witness understood the child was to be brought up by hand. Witness remarked that it would be difficult so to do, as it was a weakly child, although he had then no fear of its death. The reason Mrs. Reynolds gave for ithe child being brought up by hand was from " peculiar circum stances." Witness continued to attend the child for five or six days, during which the child, although weak, was toler ably well. On the morning of the 25th, Mrs. Reynolds called upon him to attend the child; found it suffering from inflammation of the mouth, throat, and eyes; could not say from easi sory examination of the mouth whether there were any blisters. Witness told Mrs. Reynolds the child had got the thrush, and sent the usual medicine, alterative powders, comprised of 2 grains mercury, and chalk, 2 grains soda, 1 grain rhubarb, or 2 grains compound chalk powder; could not recollect which. On the 26th again called, but as the child was asleep would not have it disturbed. Mrs. Reynolds said it had been more composed On the morning of the 27th Mrs. Reynolds called and informed me the child was dead. In the evening of that day Mrs. Reynolds called for a certificate of the child's death. Witness remarked that it was unpleasant the child had died so soon, when she said "Not so, if he (witness) knew all." As witness had seen the child and knew it had been properly attended to, did not refuse the certificate. Described the cause of death as arising from mirasmus, which means a general wasting away. It is by some termed atrophy. The inflamed state of the mouth and throat did not excite suspicion, having seen children in that state before. Dr. Oak Mitchell deposed to sealing up the residue to the body, and delivering the same to Mr. Huish, assistant to Dr. Leesom, at St. Thomas's Hospital. Charles Huish, chemical assistant to Dr. Leesom, deposed to receiving a jar, sealed up, from the last witness, which he delivered in the same state to Dr. Leesom. Henry Beaumont Leesom, physician at St. Thomas's Hos pital, and lecturer on chemistry, deposed that on Saturday last he received from the last witness a sealed jar, contain ing the remains of an infant. In the intestines, brains, and viscera decomposition had taken place, and they had become a pasty mass. He took the whole of this rriass, which he boiled ir e distilled water, having previously ascertained that the wari er was perfectly pure. After boiling it for some time, acid'alated it with pure muriatic acid, and again boiled it, avaducting the operation in a porcelain vessel, and then fil '..ered it through new calico. Witness then submitted it to various tests, the principle made use of being Reinche's test, that being the most delicate test for arsenic. A portion of the liquid witness then mixed with an equal portion of muriatic acid, and taking a similar quantity of muriatic acid, mixed it with an equal quantity of distilled water, as pre. viously ma,le use of. He then took two pieces of bright cop per which hasi been carefully cleaned in nitro-sulphuric acid. These two piec...s he then boiled, the one in distilled water and muriatic acit,', and the other in the liquid in which the body had been he. iled, the effect of which would be that if arsenic be present`it would give to the copper a dark colour, si m il ar t o :ron ; but if no arsenic be present the copper would rt.'inain comparatively clean and bright. (Dr. Leeson" ,lrodueed the two pieces of cop per, according precisely w i th the a p pearances stated above.) Th• •••-iment witness sepeated several times. Witness f the copper so treated and hay then too fe in 12;t° in a tube of hard German g cut it into slips , P ^ red heat. Under glass, heating the tube P ackl tO b me the artnuie and co pp tn these circumstances witness ep-ecelied from the copper, and found it did so, obtaining on the glass tube that reculiar dark stain indicating the presence of me tallic arsenic. The heat was then continued, and a small cur rent of air was allowed to pass through the tube; by so doing the metallic arsenic was oxydated, and thus converted into arsenious acid, of the common white arsenic of the shops. Witness then examined the white arsenical crust through a microscope, and ascertained that it consisted of small octohe dral crystals, peculiarly characterlsitic of arsenic and confirma tory. Witness then took a small portion of distilled water and boiled it in the tube to dissolve the arsenious acid. Having thus obtained a solution, be applied the usual liquid tests; made use of amtnonia nitrate of silver, which gave a light yellow precipitate characteristic of arsenious acid. To an other portion he added ammonia sulphate of copper, which gave• a green precipitate, also characteristic of the presence of arse nic, and termed " Scheele's green." Through a third portion passed a stream of' sulphurated hydrogen, which gave a yellow precipitate, also confirmatory of the presence of arsenic. Witness then took a third piece of copper, coated as the last, which he placed in another glass tube, and heated it as be fore, and whilst so heated passed over it pure hydrogen icas, which he ignited at one end of the tube, inflamed it, holding over the flame a small vessel of white porcelain, on which was deposited a black spot, as in making use of Marsha's test, of which this is a modification. Witness also applied his nose to the et d of the first tube, and smelt the charac teristic smell of arsenic. Witness also subjected a portion of the liquid to the action of a galvanic battery. having a pole of platinum attached to the copper end of the battery, and a piece of clean copper to the zinc extremity, which obtained a silvery deposit of arsenic. Witness's impression was that, in the portion he examined, something like ten grains of arsenic were present, mere than sufficient to cause death. Witness judged the quantity from the facility with which he obtained the results. All the remains had been boiled down, except the legs and arms. It was impossible for the child to have survived after the quantity of arsenic he bad de tected. _ _ Mr. Huish recalled—Was present during the experi ments made by Dr. Leesom, and entirely agreed with him in opinion. Charles Robins, residing at No. I, Abbey-street, Ber mondsey, undertaker, deposed that he had seen the coffin and identified it as one of his' make. In September last, about the middle of the month, on coming home from a funeral, he was informed that a person had applied for a coffin for a still-born child. About six o'clock a person came for the coffin, and as the coffin was to go into the country by rail, witness had it made extra strong; believed he said it was to go into Yorkshire. Witness bad not seen Richardson, but he had seen the daughters, and recognised him from the woneerful likeness. He was talking to witness for half an hour in his shop. He paid ss. 6d. for it. He took the coffin away in a bag, either blue or green, but witness thought it was a blue one. Witness could no t positive as to the pre cise day in the month of September, but could by reference to his books. _ _ Mrs. Reynolds, the landlady of the house at which the young woman Richardson was confined, and who nursed her, Thomas Jones, Stephen Furman, and Amelia Richardson, were then examined, but their evidence was merely a repe tition of that given at the police-court last week. A host of witnesses were subsequently examined, but their evidence was merely confirmatory, without tending to throw any additional light on this most mysterious affair. Mrs. Reynolds was recalled as to any conversations that she might have heard pass between Richardson and his daughter Ann, when she stated that she could not give any evidence on that point, as they invariably conversed in French. _ Julia Richardson, a younger sister, was then examined. She deposed that he went up on the Sunday previous to the death of the infant. Went up with her father and mother, and was present when the body was brought home on the following Saturday. All her sisters were then pre sent, and saw the coffin. In answer to a question by the Coroner, the witness said there were seven sisters, including her sister Ann, the mother of the child. Mrs. Richardson deposed that she is wife of William Richardson, late of the Royal Observatory. Her daughter Ann Maria was confined in September, 1845. Did not know that she was in the family way until she was six months gone. Mr. Slurtun, surgeon, was the first person who acquainted her with the fact. On being taxed she acknowledged it, and asked her not to be severe. Witness premised to do all in her power for her. A fortnight previous to her confinement, Mr. Richardson en gaged apartments in town for her. Witness with her husband went to London by railway. On Wednesday, September 17, her daughter was confined. Witness next day went to Greenwich and informed her husbarid. On Friday, the 26th, she received a letter from her daughter, saying the infant was dying. She went up to town.. and the nurse said that she had been up all night with the child. At eleven o'clock witness laid down, and at one was awoke by the child crying. Its mother gave it gruel. Wit ness warmed the gruel over a candle. In two hours afterwards it died. The child was brought up by band. Her husband bought a coffin : the child was put into it, and the coffin put into a green bag. Witness, her husband, and daughter re turned to Greenwich by railway. Her husband carried the coffin on his knee. The coffin was placed in the library, and remained several days, until the body became offensive, when her husband got a labourer to dig a hole in the garden, where it was buried. She could swear positively that the child was in the house from Saturday to the following Friday, before it was buried. She has no drug chest ; does not think that her husband kept poison in the house. Some of the baby's powders where brought home after its death, and burnt. Her husband was discharged from the Royal Ob servatory at the end of October, by . direction of the Lords of the Admiralty. No reason was assigned ; . believed it was in consequence of his daughter having a child by him. He had been there twenty. eight years and was entitled to a pension, but had made no application. Witness did not know what the child died of. The room was then cleared, after the jury had sat upwards of eleven hours, and after a short consultation the inquiry was adjourned until Friday, at three o'clock.

SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is firm, and a good business has been done at rather higher prices. :Nearly 700 hhds have been disposed of. The public sales consisted principally of 46 casks Barbadoe3, 9,902 bags 32 casks Mauritius, 5,775 bags Bengal, and 3,421 bags (clayed) Manilla (duty paid). The Barbadoes sold readily at 525. to 535. for good to fine greyish yellow,being rather dearer. Nearly all the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the former at 42s to 47s Gd for mid to good brown, 48s to 54s for low to fine yellow ; and the latter at 48s to 56s for good yellow soft to fine white Benares ' being for the low and strong gray refining qualities of Mauritius rather dearer, but the better sorts and Bengal must be quoted 6d cheaper. The Manilla was chiefly taken in at 48s Gd to 50s for good brown to low yellow ; a small portion of good to fine grey at 51s 6d to 535, being under the price obtained on Wednesday for similar descriptions. About 700 bags washed sold at 45s to 49s 6d for good brown to fine greyish yellow, which are compara tively low prices. The quantity landed during the month at the East and West India Docks was 2,620 hhds, 210 tierces, 302 barrels, and there were taken for home con sumption, 4,906 hhds, 474 tierces, 1,249 barrels. The im ports into Great Brirain last year were 260,295 tons, against 223,886 "tons at the corresponding period of 1844. The stock on . the Ist January was 59,509 tons against 65,219 tons at the same time last year. COFFEE.-1,900 bags Ceylon at auction, about two-thirds of which consisted of British Plantation kind, sold briskly at 52s to 68s for good ord pale to mid colory quality • the re mainder only partly sold at 48s fo r goo d or d of native growth, which is barely the previous nominal value. Rum.—The quantity landed during the month at the East and West India Docks was 1,089 puns 432 hhds ; there were taken for home consumption 879 puns 188 hhds, and ex ported 347 puns 93 hhds.

TEA.—The market is steady. (From the London New Price Current of Feb. 3.) SUGAk.—To-day the market for West Indian Muscovado Sugar presented a-firm appearance, and the quantity on show was small, especially of the bright yellow and strong refining description. There wes a good business transacted in all sorts, and the rates paid were fully equal to those of Friday. REFINED.--To-day Refined goods were purchased with caution by the home trade, and prices slightly gave way ; Brown Lumps, according to quality, selling at 62s to 635, and Standard Lumps at 63s 6d to 64s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is much wanted for forward delivery at 34s per cwt for first quality. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with attention, and 680 bags 150 casks at auction were sold at full rates: fine yellow brought 53s to 53s 6d, good 51s 6d to 52s 6d, middling 49s 6d to 50s 6d, low 48s to 495, washed 48s to 48s 6d, syrupy 49s per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 8,402 bags, were submitted to politic competition, and nearly the whole found buyers—yellow brought full rates, brown went rather higher, whilst prices declined 6d per cwt for white. FOREIGN.—The market has assumed a dull appearance for yellow Havannah Sugar, and former rates cannot be obtained; there are sellers of low to middling quality at 22s to 23s 6d, and good to fine at 24s to 26s per cwt, but scarcely any business has been transacted. White has been neglected, and prices are nominal at 30s to 38s for low to fine quality. Brown is dull of sale at 20s to 22s per cwt. Although Brown Brazil can be obtained at the moderate rates of 16s to 20s, still few buyers are to be met with. For White the demand has been only for small parcels at 22s to 27s for low to fine quality. All other kinds of Foreign are difficult of sale. COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee was purchased with caution—at public sale 254 bales and 10 cases were offered, the lower qualities were chiefly sold, but at a reduc tion on former rates of 4s to 6s per cwt. With Ceylon the market was much better supplied, 3 parcels amounting to 3,223 bags were submitted to public competition. The trade evinced little desire to operate, and the small part actually sold was at a reduction on Friday's rates of is to 2s for Native, and 2s to 3s per cwt for Plantation sorts. TEA.—There has been a considerable falling off in the de mand for Black and Green since our last report, in conse quence of no change being proposed to be made in the duty, and the large quantity of 30,000 packages being declared for public competition on Thursday. The business transacted in Congou has been upon a small scale only, and in some cases rather lower rates have been taken. For Pouchong of clean quality 6d to 10d are the prices insisted upon, but less busi ness has been transacted. Twankay is held with firmness. and common sound yellowish leaf is not to be obtained under Is 2d. In Hyson there has been little passing, but in the value scarcely any change has occurred. Gunpowder and Imperial have been taken sparingly at former rates. MOLASSES.—This afternoon at public sale 49 puncheons of Bengal Treacle were taken in at 21s per cwt. for dark quality, being above the value. SPICES.—To -day Black Pepper was purchased with more freedom, and 1,036 bags of Malabar at auction were all sold at full rates. White was only in limited request, and 172 bags at public sale nearly all taken in, good ordinary mixed at al to 31d, middling 4d. Nutmegs met with little atten tion, and 8 pkgs at auction went a little cheaper, and sold at 3s 7d to 4s for good bold brown. FRUIT—The transactions in Currants have been upon a small scale, and holders experience difficulty in obtaining 47s to 48s for Patras, and 46s to 47s for Zante and Cepha lonia. The market for Raisins has a dull appearance, and the value of Valencias is 30s to 40s according to quality. Figs have been purchased with caution, and for all common sorts prices keep very low. srwrs.—Te-day there was lees activity in the Prancly ----.-----------.........------; rite i : i market, but holders generally would not take 11„ o l ds v.
