Ole Leipsic Gazette, of the -29. h ult. states, from Ilerlin, that the Ministers have agreed to propose o `-:tain modifications of the Prussian Constitution to the Chambers under form of a Bill. The plan is to maintain the Chambers, but to reduce their powers to those ot the States. This has been proposed by M. de Manteuffel, and the other Ministers have accepted the idea. The New Prussian, Gazette, of the 30th ultimo, announces that the new treaty of commerce between the Zollverein and Bslgium may be considered as good as concluded, only a few formalities remaining still to be accomplished. The treaty is to subsist for two years, the treaties of the Zollverein having still that iline to run. Nevertheless, Prussia is authorised to give notice in the month of September, 1852, if it be her intention to withdraw from the treaty on the Ist ot January, 1853. By this treaty the duty on Belgian iron is increased by one-half; all the other modifications are insignificant. The Prussian Gazette, a semi-official paper, has an article on the negotiations which have been f)r some time going on in order to bring about the Austrian commercial and customs union. The writer labours to prove that Austria has at length been convinced of the necessity of joining the Zollverein, if she would replenish her exchequer by the revival of commerce, and find a new outlet for her paper money. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 17th ult., in the Genoa Gazette, states that everything was quiet there at the time, but that the number of patrols had been in ( rased during the night time. Some domiciliary vi,iti had been made, but with no result. An abbe, named Chiani, had been stilettoed a few days before, but it was believed he would recover. It was ru moured that the Pope intended establishing a college of Jesuits at Sinigaglia. A letter f , om Rome, in the Opinion of Turin, states that the Papal Government has given orders for h ; construction in England of a steamer of 40-horse power for the repression of smuggling on the Roman coast. _ A letter from Naples, in a Frankfort jour nal, says :—"After the bombardment of -.Nlessina, Lord Palmerston demanded an indemnity for the damages , sustainc,d by English subjects. The matt er was referred to a commission, which fixed a sum, without huwever taking acco unt of the interests that m had beco e due. Mr. T e mple, the English Minister at Naples, declared that he would accept the amount. Lord Palmerston demanded a l a r g er sun), with interest. The Neapolitan Government.has just ac ceded to his demand." The Piedmontese Gazette of the 30th ult., pub lishes the law recently passed, authorising the Go vernment to collect the taxes for the month of January, 1852. In its sittings of the 29th ult., the Piedmontese Senate passed the 13111 on military conscription by 43 to 10. The Chamber of Deputies on the same day adjourned the debate on t'ae treaty of commerce with Austria to the 21 of January. Tae Parma Gazette publishes a decree which enacts that all offences of sedition, high treason, tampering with the fidelity of the troops, distributing revolu tionary publications, &c., shall be punished with death. Minc,r offences of the kind are to be punished by imprisoranent or the galleys. MALTA. We have received the Malts papers to 231 ult. Oa the 18th, Colonel Reid, the new governor, took tl:o oath of allegiance, and hi s sea t as President of the council of Government. li e then opened the session with an address, in which he announced his intention of proposing the reduction of the tonnage dues for mcr.chant vessels. A. Bill to that eff:ct was accord izgly introduced by the chief secretary, and the first reading was agreed to. TIIE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) Major-General Chesborough Grant Falconer, K.H. (Lite promotion), Inspecting Field Officer in the 1)verpool Recruiting District, has been placed upon the list of General Officers receiving the unattached pay of twenty-five shillings per diem.

Newman, Bart., 71st Foot, has been appointed an extra aide-de-camp to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Captain E. C. Butler, 36th Foot, and Lieutenant Viscount Kirkwall, 92.1 Foot, have succeeded Captain Lawley, of the Life G-uards, and Captain Middleton, of the Artillery, :as aides-de-camp to the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands.

ROYAL MILITARY A S YLUM.—The rumour which reaehed us, that Major Paget was to succeed Major- General Brown as commandant of this excellent asylum, does not appear to have been well founded.

The following is an extract from a letter, dated Eikhams, Namagua Land, Aug. 16, 1851 : " I have returned after a journey not quite so long as I had hoped to have made. Of perfectly new country I have explored about 500 miles out, return ing by much the same route. I did not quite reach the Portuguese, or the magnificent intervening river, of which the Cavene is only a branch. Those abominable waggons have been like a dragchain upon me, but everything has ended well and we have bad no sickness. I have had plenty of occupation in mapping the country. My guns have been quite idle, as there is little or no game of any sort. After leaving the furthest missionary station I found myself between the two principal black chiefs, who were on the eve of fighting ; however, I contrived to get my party clear of the massacre and passed on without guides, being also fortunate enough to find suffi cient water from place to place, for the oxen as well as for ourselves—so that in that way we bad no hardships. The country was a dense mass of thorns—not simple straight thorns like a quickset hedge, but curved like fishhooks. The oxen would not face them—it was terrible work to drive them on. I often tried the strength of these thorns by fasten ing a piece of rag to a spring balance, and pulling until the thorn broke—one thorn stood a pull of 271 b. Our clothes were in rags, and at first our skins were very painful from being so much torn, especially as the scratches generally festered—but we grew har dened in time. I found my way to the reported Lake Omabondi, which was dry as dust—not a drop of water in the reeds. From the natives' description we had reckoned upon seeing a large sheet of water, about thirty miles by eight. It was, however, no thing but a watercourse 300 yards broad, and in the rainy..season might be two miles long. Lake N'gami I have not tried for. I travelled on northward ; we moved very slowly—the waggons had to crush through everything, and the oxen would not pull through the thorns. After 300 miles I reached the end of the country of the 0 vakerers, where was a large village. Thence I endeavoured to get guides on to the Ovam po, but the chief would not give theta ; so we set off alone, as we were resolved not to be beaten. As we were just starting the oxen were frightened, and set off at a trot. There was in front of them a great stump, apparently rotten, but in reality a hard strong tree. The near fore wheel of my best waggon came against this, and crash went the whole concern. We set to work, brought the oxen alongside, made a hedge of thorns, cleared the ground, and at once dispatched a party to cut down trees to mend it. The road had been so stony and execrable in every way that it would have been folly to have ventured on with an axletree of green wood ; therefore the waggons necessarily had to remain there while the trees seasoned. I upon this halved my party, and Anderson and myself saddled our oxen and moved on to the north. We found a man who said he could take us in a fifteen days' journey on to the Ovampo; but he led us all wrong, and we were hardly put to it for water. All kinds of little disasters occurred. We made three attempts to proceed, and the third time most fortu nately met a trading party from Ovampo, who had come down to buy cattle ; so we returned with them, waited three long weeks until they were ready to go back to their own country, and then accompanied them thither. After 200 miles' travel the bushes and thorns suddenly ceased, and the charming corn country of Mondongo, with its palms and fruit trees, lay before us. I rode off to the King, and crowned him straightway with that great theatrical crown which I picked up one day in London before starting, thinking that it might come in opportunely among the savages. He was a brute, fat as a tub, but his people were most hospitable. The journey had lasted longer than I expected. My oxen were in a sad state—footsore, and with galled backs. I had to buy and carry back provisions, as we had but little cattle left. The Cavene River was four or five days ahead, but Naugoro (the King) would not allow us to go on to it. Had I been able to remain with him for three or four weeks I might have over persuaded him, as he had a strong dislike to gunpowder ; but it was impos sible to stay, as my waggons and men were left in such a precarious situation. I therefore packed 50011). of corn, flour, beans, and so forth on my oxen, and returned. I found my waggon well mended, the axletree better than before, and about sixty sheep and a few oxen bad been bought by my men, and added to our store during my absence. We returned without accident of any sort, by a slightly different road, and I am now with the Namaqua chief. I told you in my last letter that I made peace all over his country, and it has been admirably kept during my absence. I have therefore given Jouker (the chief) a cocked hat and an old ambassador's coat of Mr. --, with which he is highly delighted. I now intend going to the east for a little elephant shooting, and I shall ex change everything I have for ivory (of which the Na rnasseuas there have an abundance), take it down to Walwich Bay, and start by the missionary ship for the Cape or for St. Helena, either in December or January, unless another opportunity offer for going :further into the country. A trading party of blacks, from the Portuguese country, were at Mondongo while I was there, but I was unable to send letters by them, for the people are very superstitious there, and would have nothing to do with w ritten things. I have, of course, found out m uch about the country of great interest. A posse of missionaries are about to follow rn f y ‘r route. TUE, Ovampos are really a charming tribe cL r .

The extension of postal communication by stea vessels proposed to be established from the principal ports of the United States on the great lines of com mercial traffic with Europe, Central America, and the East, has now assumed an importance which entitles it to consideration. By the official report of the Postmaster-General of the United States, we find that offers have been made to his department to contract for a mail service from New York to Ant werp:; from New York, by Gibraltar, Marseilles, and Toulon, to Genoa; from Philadelphia to Antwerp, and for the extension of the New York and Havre line to Bremen ; from New York to San Francisco by the Nicaragua route; from Philadelphia to Havannah; from New York to New Orleans, by ocean steamers, in connexion with a contemplated railroad service across the State of Florida; from New York to Gal way, in Ireland; from New York to Venezuela by way of St. Thomas and other West India islands; from San Francisco to China and Calcutta. Other lines have been projected to the Brazils and other parts of Central and South America, but have not been submitted to the Government. As regards the lines to Antwerp, it is stated that the Belgian Government is ready to co-operate in their speedy establishment and in their mainte nance, as they would be exceedingly advantageous to the two countries, not in ly as respects their postal intercourse, but also, a much higher de gree, as respects their commercial interests. The proposition for the establishment of a line of mail steamers between New York and Galway is to carry the mail for ten years in steam - sh i p s, readily con- ,ILTNE. 2 I Bibui LONDON, verted into war steamers, for 100,000 dolls, per annum, for each ship employed, or to contract for su ch service, and receive for it only the postages which shall arise from such mail matter as may be actually transmitted in the ships of the proposed line. This proposition is recommended to the early and favourable consideration of Congress by the Postmaster-General, for the reason that he considers it would lessen the time now occu pied for the transmission of the mails between the United States and England, and for other cogent reasons not directly connected with its usefulness for mail purposes. The report also states that, looking to the eventual establishment of a steam male line between California and China via the Sandwich Islands, the postmaster at San Francisco has been in structed to open a mail service with those countries, by every convenient opportunity afforded by vessels employed in those seas. For the establishment of a steam mail service on this route, a Bill is now before the American Congress. The extensions of steam mail service in this country are—the proposed con tracts for the conveyance of mails to Australia by way of the Cape and Singapore in alternate months ; a contract for the conveyance of mails to the coast of Africa ; and the extension of the Ind i a n and China service by way of the Mediterranean.—Chronicle. UNDER SECRETARYSHIP FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS.- We learn, from a private source, that the Lord Wode house has been offered the office of Under -Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs. The county cannot be otherwise than glad to see a nobleman, of whose name and family the county has no common attachment, selected to oc cupy a position whioh demands the exercise of more than ordinary ability. His Lordship's business habits, ability, and steadiness of purpose, will be valuable in any position Lord Wodehouse may consent to fill. We have not heard if his Lordship has accepted office.— ' Norwich Mercury of this day. MARKET IN TEL LIGEN CE. (From the London New Price Current, Jan. 2.) SUGAR.-The importation from the West Indies during the past year was larger than in the preceding one by 13,600 tons; and the falling off in deliveries for home consumption reached 7,609; and at the close of 1851 there was a larger stock than in 1850 by 12,500 tons, and prices ruled lower for brown and inferior yellow by 7s to Bs, and for better sorts 4s to 5s per cwt. The low rates are ex pected to cause a brisk demand shortly both for grocery and refining purposes; merchants are also likely to supply the market less freely, as the profits they are obtaining are smaller than for some years, therefore there is no inducement to extend cultivation. The impression is that consumption will bo larger this than in the preceding year, and that rates will be more remunerating to importers. At the chief ports duty has been paid upon 5,806,200 cwt of all descriptions of Sugar, and in 1850 it was 5,838,600 cwt. The present value of low to fine brown is from 28s to 30s 6d, yellow ditto 31s to 395, and refining qualities 29s to 34s per cwt. The stock of all kinds of Sugar in bond in the United Kingdom is 50,000 tons more than at the close of 1850. The public sales of Sugar declared for next week, at present comprise 16,000 bags Bengal, 3,430 bags Mauritius, 300 baskets Java, 280 hhds Demerara, 150 hhds Barbadoes, 2,500 bags Madras, 3,030 chests Havaanah, 459 hhds and 148 barrels Porto Rico. REFINED.-The home trade demand is evidently on the increase for Refined Sugar, production being limited; prices have an upward tendency, and rule as follows: brown lumps at 44s to 44s 6d; Tittlers, low to fine 45s to 485 6d, double 49s to 503; Llamburgh loaves 45s to 493 6d, double ses to 525; standard Lumps 44s 6d to 45s per cwt: at these terms there are not sellers for delivery, rates being moderate, and consumption still exceeding that of the preceding season. The difference is 12a per cwt between the Raw and Refined article. Wet lumps met with ready purchasers, and realized an advance, low to mid selling at 42s to 435, and good to flee 43s 6d to 445; there is only a limited production, and consumption is evidently on the increase. Arrivals continue light of Foreign Refined, and there are several buyers; Loaves of low to fine quality realize from 44s to 503. Bastards are at present little wanted, but no decline has taken place, a less amount being on offer; sales have been made at from 23s to 285. A good demand exists for Pieces, and prices are firm, low to mid selling at 30s to 355, and good to fine 365 to 40s. In Treacle many purchases have been made, and supply shows a little diminution; boiled from West India Molasses realizes 11s to 12s, Patent 13s to 135, and Golden Syrup 14s to 155. Prices have ceased to decline for Crushed Sugar: at present, however, exporters are reluctant to operate, but production is not on the increase, as refiners are ob taining small profits; the value of British is 26s 6d to 27a; Dutch, low to mid 22s to 245; better descriptions 24s 6d to 275; and Belgian 24s to 255. Treacle for shipping continues to attract little attention, and can be obtained at 12s Gd to' 133 ed. In Pieces sales are small at 24s to 255, and Bustards 19s to 21s. Previous terms are demanded for Loaves, and supply is moderate, but only small ex port orders have been executed. The value of Turkey I to 5} lbs is 40s to 455; Hambro 6 to 15 ditto 30s to 31s 6d; Tittlers 23 to 30 ditto 28s 6d to 295; Prussian 40 to 45 ditto 28s; Belgian made Loaves 10 ditto 27s 6d to 28s; and Dutch 6 to 10 lbs 29s 6d to 31s per cwt. An increase in the demand is, however, expected to take place quickly. EAST INDIA.-The quantity of Bengal and Penang imported here during the past season exceeded that of the previous one by only 3,000 tons; there was, how ever, a decrease of deliveries for home consumption of 6,000, and stock is 5,800 tons more than at the close of 1550; prices are lower by 4s to 7s, and 8s to 10e for soft brown and yellow. The present value of low to mid white Benares is 34s 6d to 35s 6d, good mid:to fine 36s to 38s, soft yellow 24s to 30s, brown ditto 22s to 23s 6d; Mauritius sorts from 275 to 375, grainy white 41s to 465, yellow ditto 33s to 40s, and brown ditto 29s to 325. Of Madras imports have been 2,900 tons more than in 1850; there is an increase in deliveries for home consumption of 1,800, and stock is 2,600 tons over that of the last season; but prices are from 4s to 8,1 lower, the depression being most apparent on inferior and brown qualities. Prices for Grocery rule at 31s to 38s for mid to fine, ord at 28s to 30s, soft brown 22s to 245, yellow ditto 24s 6d to 293, grainy 32s to 395, white ditto 40s to 435, and brown 29s to 31s. Of Ceylon arrivals have been trifling during the year, and nearly all of low quality. MAURITIUS.- There has been a falling off in arrivals during the past season, compared with the preceding one, of 2,700 tons; home trade deliveries exhibit a decrease of 7,800; and stock is 3,200 tons heavier than at the close of 1850; and prices are from 5s to 7s under that time, the difference being most apparent on the lower qualities. The present value of brown is from 23s to 293 6d, yellow 305 to 375, Refining qualities 27s to 305, and crystalized 32s to 433 per cwt; these rates are as low as those prevailing for other sorts of Sugar. FOREIGN.-Holders evince more firmness, and only a moderate quantity is on offer. Former rates are sus tained for all sorts, a fair sale has prevailed for ship ping and refining under bond, the demand for grocery purposes is also likely to be better next week. Since our last report the private business has been 200 chests yellow Havannah in bond 19s, 14,000 chests duty paid brown 305 to 311 6d, yellow 36s to; 37s 6d, florettes 385 6d to 40s; small parcels of Brazil, white 38s to 395, yellow 30s to 335, brown 275 to 30s; 2,800 bgs Manilla 26s to 325; small parcels Porto Rico at 32s to 415 for yellow, and brown 30s to 31s. There is still a reluctance to operate in white Havannah, although prices are lower ruling at 22s to 278 for low to fine in bond. Floating cargoes of foreign are held with firmness, yellow Haven nah at 18s to 22s for number 10 to 16, brown Brazil 16s 6d to 17s, and white 198 to 21s; at present there are no sales to report. Arrivals here of all sorts were more than in the year 1850 by 13,000 tons ; and fcr exportation there was a decreise in the quantity taken of 6,500; but home trade delive ries exhibit an increase of 600. Stocks at the close of the season were more than in the previous one by 7,200 tons, and prices are 3s to 6s per cwt. lower, the differ ence being most apparent on brown qualities. There is at'present only a limited demand at the Continental markets, at the same time parcels are not pressed for sale. COFFEE.-The consumption is still much interfered with by the use of Chicory, and greatly to the injury of the Coffee planters. There has been an improved demand for Native Ceylon this week, and prices have advanced ed per cwt. About;2,ooo bags have been sold, the latest rates paid were 39s to 39s ed for good, and 40s to 40s 6d for superior quality, indeed at these terms there are few sellers. Plantation met with more atten tion, and the parcels disposed of privately were at stiffer rates ; fine and superior 605 to 708, good mid to good 55s to 58s, low mid and mid 50s to 545, fine to fine fine 455 to 498, other sorts 43s to 445, triage 37s to 425, and pea berry 56s to 645. Stock of Ceylon is 1,700 casks and 9,000 bags under that of last season. Jamaica is held with firmness, an d appears to be rather more in demand; good to fine at 605 to 80s, low to mid and mid 505 to 58s, other sorts 38s to 495, and triage 363 to 425. Mocha is more in demand, and hodlers are firmer, com and m id clean garbled realized 65s to 70s, good to fine 7 9 s to 8 4 s.

Berens and Blutnberg, of St. Paul's Churchyard, foreign goods importers, was brought up in the custody of Trew the officer, charged with having robbed his employers. Trew said—ln consequence of information received by me, I went to the warehouse of the prosecutors, and saw the prisoner come out at a quarter past nine in the morning, with two paper parcels, one under each arm. He went to a coffee-shop in Lombard street, and after having remained there an hour and a half, walked into Cornhill and returned to Bow lane, where, at the corner of Basing. lane, he waited some time walking backwards and forwards. I then saw a Jew whom I know well come towards him. The prisoner, when he saw the Jew turned up Ba sing -lane, and I followed the Jew, being aware that he knew me. The Jew turned round Distaff-lane, and the prisoner passed. I observed the Jew make a signal with his hand, and the prisoner passed on rather quicker, and went to Old 'Change and waited again. 1 then went up to the prisoner and asked him what he was doing there ? He said, " Do you know who I am ? lam Berens and Blumberg's traveller." I said "I am aware of that," and I told him that I saw something suspicious between the Jew and him, and I wanted to know what the business was. He said he bad seen no Jew. I asked him if he had any other property shout him besides the two parcels he carried. lie said "No." I then felt something in his coatpocket, and asked him what that was ? He made no answer. I then put my hand in, and found that it was a musical-box, and he said it was all right, as he had to sell such things. I then took him to the warehouse of his employers, where, in the presence of Mr. Wood, the principal manager, he said he had had the box three years. He afterwards produced a cigar-case from his pocket. The parcels which the prisoner had in his possession were correct. They were samples which had been regularly entered, and he had to take them out. The prisoner—l declare solemnly that all the officer said about the Jew is false. Webb, the officer—l was with Trew, and I saw the Jew. I received the address of the prisoner from Mr. Wood, and proceeded to his house, and in the back parlour I found a number of articles, which the prosecutors identified as part of their stock. A warehouseman to the prosecutors said he was with Webb, the officer, when the articles produced by that witness were found. He believed they were all the property of the prisoner's employers ; and, although he could not swear to the musical-box and the cigar-case, he believed them to belong to Messrs. Berens and Blumberg. The prisoner, after the evidence was concluded, said, " I admit that I have taken all the property produced, and that the articles belong to my ern ployers."—He was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Mr. Henry Wolfe and Mr. Isaac Lyons, umbrella and parasol manufacturers, of Earl-street, Blackfriars, were charged with obtaining, under false pretences, a large quantity of silks and other goods on credit, within three months of their bankruptcy, with intent to defraud their creditors. Mr. Ballantine stated that the prosecution had been directed by Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque. The prisoners had been carrying on business in Cripplegate from October, 1850, until November, 1851, when they became bankrups, and their accounts, on being examined by Messrs. Parrington, showed a deficiency of 3,0001., which had doubtless been laid by to meet this contingency. The charge would be that of obtaining goods, even within a few days of the date of the fiat in bankruptcy, of Messrs. Ellis and Everington, to the amount of 500/., which had since been pledged, but in this instance Messrs. Ellis and Everington invited the prisoners to purchase the goods, and therefore it might be con tended that there was no false pretence. That, however, was only one case out of a great number, and he would not dwell upon that, but proceed to another, in which the prisoners had obtained a large quantity of goods of Messrs. Pawson, of St. Paul's Churchyard, and pawned them at Muncaster and Warre's. Mr. Warre was then called, who stated that silk goods had been pledged with him on the Bth, 9th, and 12th of September, 1851, for about 1201., and re deemed on the 28th of October, and that his transac tions with John Moss, who pledged these goods, and represented himself as the agent of Moss Davis, of Earl-street, Blackfriars, amounted to about 1,0001., on which he charged 15 per cent., whether it was in for one month or a year. Mr. Pollock, the registrar in Commissioner Fon blanque's court, produced and verified the proceed ings against the prisoners in bankruptcy, and identi fied the prisoners as the parties .against whom the Commissioners had directed this prosecution. The date of the fiat was the 19th of November, 1851. Mr. Ballantine then stated that he would be able to show that the goods alluded to by Mr. Warn as having been pledged for the amount stated formed part of the 3,000/. that was entirely unaccounted for, the whole of which goods were obtained and disposed of within a period of five or six months. He there fore applied for an adjournment, and that the amount of bail should be somewhat larger than that fixed in the cases of Davis and Boyd. Alderman FAREBROTHER then said he thought that two bail of 2501. each, and 5001. recognizances for each of the prisoners would meet the wishes of all parties. The usual notice having been given, the prisoners were remanded for further examination. BOW-STREET. Henry Attu:owl, a constable of the F division, and Richard Moss, of the P division, appeared before Mr. Hall, to answer a charge of committing wilful perjury. The prosecution arose out of a case heard before Mr. Hall, on the 11th of December last, and reported in The Sun of the following day. The two constables had been placed on duty the previous evening at Jullien's promenade concert (the last of the series) at Drury-lane Theatre, and at the close of the enter tainment they took two young men into custody on the charge of picking pockets. The prisoners, Thomas Wilkie Adam and Ernest Francatelli, were placed at the bar, and the statements then made on oath before the magistrate, and upon which the young men were committed for trial, were those to which the present charge of perjury relates. With regard to the charge against the young men, the bill was ignored by the grand jury at the Westminster ses sions. The alleged wilful misstatements of the policemen at Bow-street were to the effect, that they had seen the two prisoners together during the whole of the evening, excepting a short interval of a few minutes, in the pit or promenade of the theatre, where Adam was "steadfastly watching the pockets of several la dies," and both of them occasionally touching the dresses of the ladies, apparently with the view of feeling if there was anything in their pockets. Richard Moss further swore that he saw Adam" pass something shiny, like a watch, into the hands of Francatelli," and when the young men were leaving the theatre in the crowd, one of them said to the other, " Push me, Tom," to which a reply was given, " Go al ong, Ro bert." Both the constables swore to the fact that " they distinctly saw Adam's hand in a woman's s p t o a c t k i n e n t ~ " a nT d he an panrispotnyeprsurwseeraensdeaarcphaeirdnfatgtlnhveespo e were lic found on Adam, and produced in court by Attwood, who informed the magistrate that the gloves did not fit theprisoner A prisoner, dani en u i e t were d too this statement, large for a him. ndsaid The that the constable had never ascertained if the gloves fitted him ; upon which Attwood said he had tried them upon himself, and as they were too large for him, he concluded that they must be also too large for the prisoner. Mr. Hall then gave the prisoner an oppor tunity of putting on the gloves, and it was found that they fitted him exactly, while it was further proved that the gloves were in Adam's possession before he went to the concert, having been in fact purchased for the occasion. The magistrate consequently repri manded the constable Attwood for having made such a conjecture to prejudice the case, and directed a note of such reprimand to be appended to the de positions. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution having opened the case with a statement of the above particu lars, and observed that the present proceedings were instituted by the respectable parents of the young men to vindicate their characters, Ernest Francatelli was sworn and examined. He stated that he was 17 years of age, and lived with his father (the cook of a club-house) at 106, Piccadilly. He had known Adam for 10 years, and, although not in the habit of being out together in the evening, he accompaniedlhim to Jullien's on the night in ques tion. They were together during the whole time, excepting a few minutes, when Adam left him to go round the other side of the orchestra. They neither of them looked at the pockets or touched the dresses of any lady present, and nothing " shiny, like a watch, had passed between them." Once during the evening 2d. was handed from one to the other to pay a waiter, and that was all. BANK oil ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 2. , (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE WALL AND WALL. The bankrupts, John Wall and Thomas Young Wall, were brewers at Chatham. Their accounts show debts to unsecured creditors, 1,430/. ; mortgage, creditor, 6021. ; and assets about 1 0 500/., in the event of the mortgaged property realizing 8001. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Duncan appeared for the bankrupts, and Mr. Cranch for the assignees. The chief ground of opposition was that the bank rupts had passed through the Insolvent Debtors' Court without disclosing the possession of certain property. HIS HONOUR held that the conduct of the bank rupts when before the Insolvent Debtors' Court was a matter of which he could not take cognizance. The bankrupt John Wall would receive an immediate certificate of the third class, and Thomas Young Wall one of the second class. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE WOOLF AND LYONS. The bankrupts were umbrella manufacturers in Cripplegate-buildings. This was an examination meeting. The bankrupts' accounts show debts, 6,4961.; assets about 2,8001. Mr. Parker appeared for the assignees ; Mr. L - dance for the bankrupts. Mr. LAWRANCE said, that in justice to the mercan tile community he should hereafter advert to the manner in which certain wholesale houses had pur chased from the bankrupt Lyons goods at a ruinous sacrifice. As there must, however, be an adjournment of the present meeting, he would not now refer more fully to the subject. The COMMISSIONER said he had seen enough, while sitting in this court, to satisfy himself of the truth of the adage, " that if there were no receivers of stolen goods there would be no thieves." The examination of the bankrupts was then ordered to stand adjourned. On their way, however, from the court they were arrested oh the charge of having il legally pledged goods. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE STANTON. The bankrupt was a jeweller, &c., at Buckingham. His case had been several times before the Lords Justices and this Court on the question of discharge from prison. Mr. Kennedy was now heard for the bankrupt ; Mr. Goddard for the assignees in opposition. His HONOUR ordered the bankrupt to be discharged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN THE MATTER OF HENRY COLLINS MANDERS. In this case an important judgment was given, on an application by Mr. Sargood, to annul a vesting order on a creditor's petition. A short time back the Court of Queen's Bench decided that a vesting order became null and void on the discharge of the party without taking the benefit of the Act. This deci sion has excited a good deal of interest, and titles made to property in numerous cases may be ques tioned. Mr. Commissioner LAW delivered a very long and elaborate judgment. He dissented from the Court of Queen's Bench, and felt it to be his duty, from the rank and weight of the Learned Judges, to enter into the question. His Honour went through several clauses of the Act on the subject, and the alteration of the Act 7 Geo. IV. to the present Act of 1 and 2 Viet. He was of opinion that the Legislature had empowered the Court to entertain applications for annulling vesting orders in cases where there was no adjudication, and that every discharge from cus tody without taking the benefit of the Act, did not render null and void a vesting order. His Honour, therefore, in this case, ordered the vesting order to be annulled. IN RB FREDERICK WILLIAM WILSON. This insolvent, a young man, who had been clerk to a house-agent, was opposed lay Mr. Nichols, for a gentleman named Woodhouse. The insolvent had taken a house of the agent of the opposing creditor, and had not paid the rent. He had previously rented a house in Exeter-street, belonging to the Marquis of Exeter, and owed 951. for the rent of the same. He had cleared upwards of 11. a week, by letting the house in lodgings, but had not paid the rent. ran. 2. Mr. Commissioner LAw thought the individual was liable to a judgment under the discretionary clause. He had increased his income by the house Le had taken, without paying the rent, and on the complaint of Mr. Woodhouse was not entitled to his discharge. Ilia Honour adjudged him to an imprisonment of four calendar months on the vesting order, and added, that had he bee❑ opposed on the part of the other landlord, to whom he owed rent, the judgment would have been to a longer period. The insolvent was accordingly adjudged to four months' imprisonment. IN THE MATTER OF HENRY SMITH. The case of Mr. Smith, the vocalist, who was op posed on the part of Henry Russell, again crime before the Court, and,was concluded.. The facts having been before reported. Mr. Commissioner LAW granted a protecting order under one petition, and a discharge under the second, filed under the Prisoners' Act. The insolvent had been in prison since May last. 1852, AD trar MI and Char
