Our last report left freights at 41. to 41. ss. for sugar to London. In the subsequent week an influx of ship ping caused a decline to 31. 15s. to 41 The week after that they regained what they had lost and stood at 41. 55., and with trifling fluctuations they continued about that figure until yesterday, when an increased demand for tonnage for rice raised them to 41. 10s. to 4/. 12s. 6d for that article, 41. 103. for sugar, and 41. ss. for saltpetre Indigo—We have no transactions to report since our last issue, but a continuance of the most propi tious weather for the unbounded progress of vegeta tion, with daily short mild showers and bright sunshine to follow. This, for during the last two and thi s month prevailing rainy season, almost unexampled state of weather, seems by all accou n t s t o h ave f avoure d most of the indigo districts, and under as ben e fi c i a l influence the principal portion of the crop h as b een brought to a rapid greatly- improved maturity. Manu facturing is by this time a nearly established fact in the generality of leading concerns, and the latest returns based upon this, with the probable proportionate resu lt s o f th e smaller factories, including native cultivation, introduce the increased estimate of the total out turn to about 1,20,000 to 1,25,000 maunds. If, with a continuance of the present weather to the end of the month, which how ever, can hardly be expe c te d, the y e t ou t s t an di ng port i on of the plant affords a similar yield to that obtained up to the present, and the rumo urs about preparations for see are ° N proved in practic e, dcuttingabeingln progress in Lower Bengal, the crop may be in creased by a further 10,000 maunds.

Letters from Modena, of the 15th, state that on that day a revolutionary placard was posted at a column of the portico of the public square, calling upon the Modenese to rise against the Austrians, and drive away the Duke The Mode nese soldiers and the Croatians in vain attempted several times to tear off the paper ; the crowd that kept constantly surrounding it during the whole of the day prevented them with menaces ; so that at last an orderly was sent to the com mandant of the fortress to inform him of the fact. The account was probably exaggerated ; for the commandant ordered a signal gun to ba fired to call together his troops, who immediately hastened to their arms. But the population, on see ing this, also dispersed with the cry of " To arms to arms !" and re-assembled in a menacing attitude, when Commandant Puffer appeared, explaining that the gun had not been fired with a hostile intention, and that his troops had received orders to retire. Tranquillity was immediately restored. JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

DEANS, Registrar of Batik Returns. Stamps and Taxes, October 21, 1848. INDIA. [The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last night]:— COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Gentleman's Gazette.) BOMBAY, SEPTERIBER 14. The market both for imports and exports has, during the past fortnight, exhibited an increased and healthy activity. The fall of rain at the presidency has been abundant and seasonable, and the monsoon, which is now drawing to a close, may be pronounced to have been an average good one. The reports of crops from the in terior are in general most favourable, and the Marwar ries and others are already appearing in the market as purchasers. A few Arabs also have been buyers. Every description of textile fabrics is now finding a readier sale than has been seen for years at this season, and transactions would be more numerous and weighty, but that holders generally look upon the prevalent prices as low, and expect a rise. The moderate first cost, however, at which much stock is now held, and can as yet be replaced, at once enables sales to be effected without loss at what would have been very low rates during these some seasons past, and is in fact forcing them to be so. Grey and white shirtings, low and medium qualities, have sold to the extent of 25,000 to 30,000 pieces, and grey madapollams the same. Grey jacconets,have been in good request, and the price has improved, but the stocks at market are small. Grey domestics, after being long neglected, are now in demand for dyeing pur poses, and for the Arab and Persian markets. Bleached goods generally have been in fair request. Jacconets of the lower qualities selling freely, and shirtings being much reduced in stock. Dhoties, handkerchiefs, Turkey red cloths, prints, mulls, and madapollams, and prints and chintzes generally, are all finding a ready sale, and at better prices than prevailed at this season last year. Yarns continue in fair request at former prices. The sales reported are:- 128 bales mule yarn, 300 lb each bale—No. 20, 61a; No. 30, 64a; No. 40, la; No. 50, 8s; No. 60, ilia; No. 70, 91a; No. 80, 10-1 a; No. 90, llia; No. 100, 13a. 82 bales water twist, 800 lb. each bale—No. 20, 6ia; No. 30, 7a; No. 40, 7ia; No. 50, Bia. 20 cases white ball thread, No. 20 to 100, 15a per lb. 20 cases, No. 10 to 100,15 a per lb. 84 cases mule yarn, 300 lb each bale, No. 20 , 61a; No. 30, 64a ; No. 40, 71a; No. 50, 8a ; No. 60, 91a; No. 70, 91a.

Orange yarn is much in request, but stocks being ex hausted our quotations is nominal. Metals are generally dull. Swedish bar is scarce and wanted. Spelter continues in some request. The fol lowing are all the sales of which we are advised:- 1,500 cdy English iron ... ... 29 0 0 135 bundles steel ... 10 8 0 Cochineal is held largely by both first and second hands, and the price remains low. We have heard of a considerable sale at 3rs la per lb. Beer and Spirits.—The stock of Allsopp's beer is ex hausted, and it has been freely selling to arrive at 70r. per bhd. Bass has sold to the extent of nearly 100 hhds. at the same figure. Whitbread's, 100 hhds. at 50r. In spirits the following sales have had Effect :- 5 Brown Brandy, per gallon ......2 12 0 10 Quarter Pale ditto, — ditto ... 2 12 0 100 Cases Gin, II bottles square in each case 17 0 0 Sundries.-10,0001bs. ball thread, at 14a. to 15a. per lb. 262 boxes crown glass 100 feet square each box at 13i rs. per 200 feet. In the export market cotton wool is rising, the demand for China being brisk, and something doing for Great Britain too. Opium is quoted lower, and some is chang ing hands. Freights to Great Britain are quoted at 21 15s to 31 per ton, though some engagements in second -class ships have had effect at a lower figure. To China the rate of the day is 10f rupees, though 111 has been given this week. The supply of tonnage in the harbour is amply adequate to all demand. Exchange and Money Market—The rate of the day for paper at six months' sight is is 9 9.16 d to 13 9ad. It has been at 13 9 . 0 during the fortnight, and one of the local banks has both bccn a large buyer and seller at one figure, is 911—a somewhat weless way of working. At 30 days' sight we cptote is 81d to Is 41 per rupee. On China we quote 203 rs per 100 dollars. On Madras and Calcutta no quota:ions. Money yet remains casy, an I commerce is being restored.

GENERAL REMARKS..—AS the arrival of the express draws near, there is some disposition to wait recounts of the progress of events in Europe. The necessity to provide for remittances, by the steamer, has kept up a fair demand for exports throughout the week. Business has been more general, and dealers are generally con tent to realise at the late ruling prices. Sugar remains the favourite object of demand, and a good supply is kept up of all except fine qualities of Be flares, which, as usual at this period, commence to be scarce. Raw silk is in more request, and at recent prices a fair amount of business has been done. For corals, too, there has been some little inquiry. Saltpetre can be purchased rather lower, but there is little doing for England. Rico is neglected. The late excitement in the opium market had com pletely subsided, and Patna was down to 969 r. On Thursday night a report got abroad that the China news was in, and Patna yesterday morning was again at 1,020 r., but during the day subsided to 980 r. The sale on Monday is likely to go lower, unless the steamer or the steamer's news should arrive before that day. Manchester Cottons have been in active demand throughout the week, and stocks in first hands wearing out prices have moved up a little for most of the leading staples. In Glasgow fabrics moro business has been done, and at rather better prices than were b e f ore o b. tainable. The demand is far from general, and prices are unsatisfactory. The Twist market remains bad, holders urge sales, and prices continue to droop. The advancing tendency in Metals has for the present sus tained a check. Dealers have purchased very freely of late, and the accounts from the Upper Provinces, where there is still much want of rain, and some anxiety felt for harvest prospects, do not appear to warrant a further' advance. (From the Englishman.) CALCUTTA, SEPT. 7.—Business here, since the date of our last report, had exhibited a little more animation than we have been accustomed to for some time past owing: to the difficulty of getting bills of exchange, which forced upon remitters; the necessity of turning their attention to produce. There has been no transac tion in indigo. Sugar, until lately, has maintained a goad inquiry for purposes of remittance at rather lower rates, and since the arrival of the Precursor the market has closed heavily. Tho operations in saltpetre have been less extensive, at 2 to 4 annas reduced rates. Rice remained almost totally neglected until the receipt of the present home news, which has had the effect of inducing an active demand. The holders of safflower still requiring prices, which shippers cannot safely give, transactions in that article have been very limited. Raw silk has attracted a little more attention, and torahs have been in better request. Lac dye and shell lac have been neglected. We have no reason to complain of the state in which our import market has remained since the date of our last report. A good demand has continued for plain and useful fabrics of Manchester manufacture at firm, and, in some cases, improved prices. Scotek goods are without any improvement. M ule twist has been in less demand at reduced rates. Coloured yarns remain depressed. Metals maintained their position until lately, when the demand somewhat slackened, and prices lost their former firmness. The Money Market has remained easy, and accom modation can be procured on approved securities at fair rates. Government paper has fallen in value: our pre :.ant quotations are, Transfer Paper, 11 to 12 premium; New Fives, 12 annas to * discount, according to amount, small sums commanding the best termi; Second and Third Fives, 3-12 to 4 ditto; Company's Fours, 15-8; Sicca ditto, 16-8; Bank of Bengal, shares 1,925 to 1,950 prem. The Bank has not yet published the rate of profit re dised duri ng th e p as t mont h, but judging from the lax -Ineis transacted, its earnings cannot be higher than these of July, whi c h netted Re. 5.1-2 81 per annum on capital stock. Tho market has 1 Merle been better supplied with bills of exchange, but still the' quantity offered has been very far short of the demand. Our quotations are now 19. to 1 91 for first-class document Lulls, and 1-91 to 1-9 i for American credits, which description of bill is scarce. Oriental Bank bills 1.9; ditto, at sight, (-71. Bank of England post bills are freely taken at 1.8. A consi derable amount of Bengal post bills has been remitted, and this kind of remittance appears to be getting into better favour. Rupees 25,54,217 in value of bullion has gone forward during the past month, 1,50,224 of which has been sent via Suez, and the remainder round the AUSTRIA , The Provisional Commandant of the National Guard of Vienna has addressed the following proclamation to the people of that capital : "Citizens ! Brothers in arms !—You have read my note, addressed to the Ban. In the evening I went to the Committee of the Diet, and an hour after to the Municipal Committee. It was my first appearance in this Assembly. I sent an answer to the Bin. He has not replied in writing. The Municipal Committee will publish his verbal reply. In it you will see how little respect Commandant Jel lachich pays to your provisional commander. His Excellency the Ban is astonished at seeing that a man who is charged to speak in the name of ten times ten thousand National Guards should display his anger instead of performing his mission with dignity.' Would, you have had me preserve all my coolness in speaking of infamous acts of violence exercised against the city, because I have not suffered personally ? Would you have tolerated this ? Speak The Ban talks of my opinion. I declared at the bar of the Municipal Council that I, a man, an individual, Citizen Wenzel Aiessenhauser, had no opinion. The Provisional Commander executes the opinion of the Diet, of the Commune. He represents the opinion of the de liberative authorities, but he has no opinion of his own. Fellow-citizens Brothers in arms ! My judgment on the evasive policy of the Ban was received with acclamations of applause by the Committee. My attentive ear enjoyed the music which a freeman finds in the frank expression of the resolute sentiments and ideas of freemen. Fellow-citizens I These men are your fathers. You are bound to honour them. These men of the Com mune, although they are but simple citizens, although they are but individuals, will at the moment of dan ger, although they are but men who earn their live• lihood by their industry, will at the moment of danger, I pledge my hono u r, e xc l a i m 'All is lost except honour! " MESSENHAUSER:' J AMAIC A: A correspondent in this island writes as follows, under date the 21st of September:—"There is an almost utter impossibility of realising produce of any kind. The whole island is downright beg gared, and I see no prospect of improvement. The planters are becoming poorer every day, and consequently there is little or no money cir culating among the labourers. Numbers of estates are out of cultivation. The Commissioners of Public Accounts have been signing and issuing the New Island cheques as fast as they can, and I suppose the whole 50,0001. will soon be afloat. I should not be at all suprised ere long to see silver at a premium in consequence. The Planters' Bank Relief Bill has been lost in the House of Assembly, and I understand that the shareholders, at their meeting, a few days past, determined on winding up the affairs of the Bank. There can be very little doubt of their being ulti mately great losers, for a large amount of the assets consist of sums due by planters ; few of whom I fear will be able to pay up. Any one walking along Port Royal-street now would almost fancy it was deserted, particularly at the wes t- en d, w h ere in three squares nearly two out of every three stores are closed. Last week another of the large foreign dry goods houses closed its business. The foreign trade is again very slack, but I think there will be another spirt of it towards the close of the year. "During the past fortnight we have had some fine heavy showers in Kingston and the neighbouring parishes, and from present appearances I think we shall get our October seasons. "His Excellency Sir Charles Grey has almost en tirely recovered from his late accident, and has allowed the House of Assembly to adjourn till the 24th of October next. "In Hayti all is perfectly tranquil, and business improving. The President, Soulougue, appears to have adopted a different policy, which has restored confidence and security among the population, a happy termination of the worst fears which the latter had entertained on the approach of the President to Port au-Prince." REVIEW OF MARKETS. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Another fortnight has passed since oar last issue, and we regret extremely to state that instead of being able to report even a trifling improvement in the state of trade, we are compelled to note increasing dulness in every branch of commerce. Matters are daily growing worse and worse. We have made it a point of duty, on this occasion especially, to gather the statements of all classes of persons—merchants, storekeepers, trades people, mechanics, and labourers —and the result of our inquiries has been one universal tale of gloom and dis aster. We do not believe that there is any person in England who has ever considered the subject who is not conscious that the most deplorable state of affairs is consequent upon the manner in which this island, in common with the other colonies of Great Britain has been treated by the mother country. There is no doubt whatever that bad as the principle of Free Trade has proved itself, so far as these islands are concerned, its partial application has been worse a hundredfold. And there is but one remedy for our distress in the absence of that protection which has been denied us. There is but one means by which England can remove at least some portion of the evil she has inflicted. We allude to the unrestricted ad mission of colonial sugar into the home markets. Th e colonists make this demand in the shape of a claim upon England, and while they clamour for it as the only means of their salvation, of their redemption from utter ruin, they base their arguments on the most solid and secure foundation on which it is posbible to build up a case for compensation—the basis of justice. Slavery is unknown in Jamaica ; it was abolished by the mighty will of England. Free labour, as has been proved be fore a Committee of the House of Commons, and as is obviously evident, is dearer by far than slave labour ; notwitLtandin g which, the British Government' has determined to admit foreign slave-grown sugar at the same rate of duty as is charged on British free-labour sugar, by which act England not oily drives the produce of her own sons' industry out of her markets, after tak ing from them the means of competition, but actaally offers a high bonus for the continuance of a traffic which she has abolished in her own soil, and which she declares to be inhuman and ilkgal. Her ostensible object in this measure is purely and entirely the comfort of the English labourer, who must have cheap sugar, at least so we understand it, fur we uutatui, bup pose that a nation like the English could have been swayed by the consideration of commerce with the slave trading countries, at the expense of her colonies, and in opposition to the interests of humanity. Now, the ad mission of colonial sugar into the home markets duty free will be of material advantage to the English labourer, and will do no harm to any interest except the revenue; and England must make up the deficiency which this must cause from some other source, if she wishes to pre vent an abandonment of these islands; and for this simple reason—if we do not export, we cannot pay either for our clothing and other necessaries, or for the mainte nance of our institutions. We are already in an awful state of poverty, and unless something be done, and that speedily, for the benefit of the colony, the result will be that every one who can leave the British colonies to seek a home in the land of the stranger will do so. Heaven help those who cannot! If, on the other hand, our sugar be admitted duty free, there will still be a glimmering of hope for us. We may then be permitted, post tenebras lucem sperare, to look forward to the blessing of a calm after a storm under which we are now being wrecked shall have passed away. The business of the past fortnight has been marked by increasing dulness. It is found impossible to effect anything like large sales of any article, and a cloud seems to hang over any attempt at business. If some thing be not speedily done for the colonies it is im possible to say what will be the result of the present stagnation. Flour—ln our last we noticed that prices were tending downwards; as low as 30s. had been accepted for New Orleans, and 325. for Baltimore, while Alexandria and Georgetown had been disposed of in lots at 355., and for a lot of 350 barrels to arrive in the Glamorgan from Baltimore 31s. was accepted. After the sailing of the last steamer the prices ranged as follows:—New Or leans, 30s. to 315.; Baltimore, 325. to 335.; Georgetown, 355. On the arrival of the home packet, which brought the news of the potato disease having again broken out in Ireland, some little excitement occurred in the flour market, and holders of Baltimore and New Orleans are now asking from 2s. to 4s. advance on the above prices. We have not, however, heard of any sales at these rates. Meal-200 barrels Georgetown have been sold at 18s. The stock is light. Rice—The 5 . 00 bags E. 1., reported in our last as sold to arrive at 16. 6d. per 1001bs., proved in landing to be of mixed qualities, and a reduction was made to 16s. for broken Bengal, and 15s. for best Madras. E. I. may now be quoted at 16s. 6d., with a light stock. Caro lina, of which the supply is heavy, is dull at 19s per 100Ibs. Bread—The stock is enormous, and it is extremely difficult to effect sales, owing principally to the inability of the labourers to purchase, the want of employment compelling them to subsist on the:produce of their grounds. 375 barrels New Orleans navy and pilot have been sold at 13s. per barrel. The article may be quoted excessively dull at 12s. to 14s. for pilot, and 13s. for navy. Butter—The stock of United States and of Nova Sco tian is heavy. Irish is moved at llid. per lb., but only in very small quantities. Bd. to Bd. and 9d. have been obtained for United States in small lot.. Nova Scotian may be quoted at Bd. The last mentioned description is much complained of as having been put up with too much salt. Lard—A small parcel of very superior quality brought 7d. per lb. There is not any now at market but what is soft and inferior. Prime is wanted and would command lid, per lb. Poik—American prime '(rumps) has been placed at 603. per barrel, prime mess at 665, and mess 70s. per bar rel. There is nothing to report in Irish. Hams—American, of superior quality, have been sold in small lots at 71d. per lb. Cheese—D. G. is worth 11d. and American 63. Brandy—Martell's dark commands ss. 6d. in bond. Tobacco —Cavendish is very scarce, and much wanted. Rum—Proof 21 has been taken at 33. 9d., equal to 3d. for exportation. We quote 3s. Gd. to 33. 9;'. for consumption. Sugar—Ranges from 15s. Gd. for dark, to 19s. to 203. for fair. Corn—Carthagena yellow sells in small lots at 3s. per bushel. Peas—Carthagena black-eyed change hands in trifling quantities at 6s. per bushel. Pimento is freely offered at 2d. per lb. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.—Commissariat bills, 30 days, not under 11 per cent. premium ; Colonial Bank, 90 days, 1 per cent. premium ; Jamaica Bank, 90 days, 1 per cent premium. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

On Saturday evening last there was considerable ex citement in the neighbourhood of Laiva, owing to the exercise of some disputed rights of property in a very awkward manner for the railway company, by Mr. Al derman Johnson, the late Lord Mayor of London. The company had commenced the formation of a double line of railway from Crabtree towards Mitley,[and as it has to pass the Dartmoor Railway, of which Mr. Alderman Johnson is mortgagee in possession, that gentleman makes claim for a certain amount of compensation, which either the railway company do not consider right or have not found it convenient to meet. At all events Mr. Johnson placed himself in a hostile position with the company, and by his representative, Mr. Filmer, and his solicitor, he caused some large blocks of granite to be placed on the new line of railway that is in course of for mation. Mr. Carr, the secretary of the South Devon Company, was on ,the spot, and most warmly protested against thessict of Mr. Johnson ; but the opposing parties, in 'spite of every protestation, pro ceeded in their work of obstruction, which, for the present, they have most effectually accomplished. Nearer Plymouth the works are proceeding with the ut most industry. At Pennycomequick the builders having prepared the material, have begun to throw the arch across the Saltash-road. The excavations have now reached the road running abreast of the Five Fields, though there is still much work to be done in levelling them. The masons are engaged in turning the arch which runs across King-street, and the road is filled in nearly through Rendle's nursery-grounds to Union-road. Here the masons are actively engaged in erecting the buttresses, &c., for the arch that is to be thrown across Union-street. The works at the terminus in the field at the back of the Union Baths, are also rapidly developing themselves. Very much of the timber and masonry work is erected, so that the buildings begin to assume some thing like a fixed character. THE BRITANNIA TUBE, MENAI STRAITS.-We hear that the works at the Britannia railway tube across the Menai Straits have been suspended for the present. Y(.s terday week upwards of a hundred men were discharged, and we hear that on the following day the remainder were turned adrift. Deficiency of funds is stated to be the reason. -Liverpool Times. MAIDEN NEWTON.-The works on the Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth Railway are entirely suspended in this neighbourhood, and are not likely to be resumed be fore the next year.-Sherborne Journal. The Directors of the South Devon Railway, on Tues day week, passed a resolution, reducing the salaries of all the employes on their line. The porters and police men will have 14s. instead of 15s. weekly, and those of a higher grade will be reduced about twenty per cent. ; besides which, a reduction in the number of porters, policemen, and clerks is also contempl a t e d . -D evonshire Chronicle. ABERDEEN.—A meeting of the contractors on this railway was held on Thursday, at Stonehaven, convened in consequence of certain orders having been given to them, by the Directors of the Aberdeen Railway Com pany, to suspend their works entirely, and in consequence, also, of certain misunderstandings in regard to the com pany's engineers and the referee for the contractors. The meeting was attended by almost all the contractors. The chair was filled by Mr. Forbes. The meeting were unanimous in their resolution to disregard the company's order to suspend the works, and resolved to apply to the court for authority to finish their respective contracts, under the inspection of the original referee, Mr. Gibb.-- Scotsman. TRAINING COLLEGE, CARDIARTHEN.CARMARTHEN, TUESDAY.—This institution was formally opened to-day, After morning prayers a sermon was preached by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, followed by a collection for tho general purposes of the college. A cold collation was sub.equently served in the college hall, at which the Lord Bishop of St. David's presided, and which wa s partaken of by a most respectable company. Altogether the proceedings were conducted with so much zeal and decorum as to augur well for the future success of the institution. His Excellency the lion. William Temple, the Bri tish Minister at the Court of Naples, left town on Wednes day to resume his diplomatic functions in that capital. His Excellency has been absent nearly eighteen months en conge, and on Wednesday last had the honour of taking leave of her Majesty at Windsor Castle, preparat ory to his departure for Italy. Lord Napier, who has act e d as charge d'agaires during the absence of his Excellency, will, it is understood, leave Naples for England sho r tl y after the Hon. W. Temples reschcs that capital. BUILDING ON THE ENCLOSURE, LEICESTER -SQUARE. —Yesterday preparations commenced within the en closure, Leicester-square, to convert that hitherto useless plot of ground into an exchange bazaar, to be called the Royal Victoria Arcade Baz iar. There will be four distinct entrances, one at each angle of the square, the arcade being in the form of a cross, the st a t ue o f Ki ng George the First forming its centre, arou n d w hi c h will be constructed. a circular promenade open to the air; within each angle an ornamental f oun t a i n w ill b e con structed, to be supplied with water from th e ar t es i an w ells that furnish those in Trafalgar- square. This ground was originally leased t o Miss Linwood by the Crown, together with the opposit e b u ildi ng known as Saville Palace, with an express covenant that it was not to bo built over ; but in consideration of the highly ornamental character of the p ro p ose d construction, and the improvement it will be to the neighbourhood, the Commissioners of Woods and Foreets are understood to have consented to the erection. CENTRAL CRTMTNAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) TRIAL OF MULLINS, THE CHARTIST. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The witness (Powell) underwent, as on the previous occasions, a very severe cross-examination. He said he went by the name of Johnson among the Chartist body. He joined them for the purpose of communicating to the police what was going on, and he did, from the begin ning of his connexion with the Chartists, communicate to the police everything that was done. Besides the name of Johnson, he said he might have been called by the name of Robinson by some of the Chartists, and he said he told them they might call him what name they pleased. He was questioned as to his connexion with a gambling booth at the races, and he admitted that he had acted as a " decoy duck " upon one .occasion to in duce other persons to gamble. He said that some money was given to him, and he was nodded to when be was to put money on the board, and he was aware that he was not playing in reality, but merely to induce others to play. He then went through the story he told on the former occasions about his having walked matches as the " Welsh Novice," for the purpose of drawing custom to a public-house, but he denied having betted upon any of them, and said that he received no other remuneration than refreshment. He said he went to America some years ago for the benefit of his health, and did not in form either his wife or his father of his intention to do so, but he denied most positively that he had committed a forgery upon his father before he started. He denied having told a man named Watson that he had com mitted a forgery upon his father, or that he wanted him to watch some people who were passing bad money, and told him if he did so, and was a witness for the police, he would get 3s. 6d. a day. He admitted having told a man named Osborn that be could point him out a man who wculd make him a pike. He denied ever having said that he should not go as a witness any more for the police, for ho only got 3s. 6d. a day, and he could get more money from the thieves. He likewise denied that upon an occasion, when a man named Pennell told him they should never get the Charter by violence, he replied that the Government was a weak Government, and that they would blow Lord John Russell and Sir G. Grey to hell within a month. He said that he did not believe he had stated to a man named Bennett that he had arranged a plan to take the Artillery-ground, and that he would carry it out if three or four more would join with him, but he would not state positively that he had not done so. He said that he was present at the meeting in Bonner's-fields, and he would not deny that he went about among the crowd and asked if they were armed, or that he did not say to a man named Green that he was not worth a - as a Chartist if he had not got arms. He said he knew a man named Westmoreland, but he did not remember telling him that ho had organized a plan for taking London and carrying out physical-force operations. He denied that a plan shown to him was ono which he had himself made, and which he had shown to West moreland when he made the statement to him. He ad mitted that he had carried pistols and a sword about with him, and said that he did so to protect himself, and he also said that he had made a great number of ball cartridges, but that he did so for Gurney, one of the conspirators, and he also said that while this man was in custody he went to the cell where he was confined, and told him that if he would give evidence for the police in this case, he would be paid a guinea a week for the rest of his life, but he said he did so upon his own ribponsi bility, and without any authority from tik police authorities, and his object was to induce hi to give evidence. The witness, in conclusion, declared, that he bad come forward upon this occasion on his orsnltespon sibility, and that he did not expect any reward for what he had done. Mr. Wilson, the landlord of the Black Jack,`was then called to prove that a room in his house was engaged by Rose, on the 17th of July, for the purpose of a trade committee meeting, . _ George Davis, the other approver, was next examined, and ho repeated the evidence given by him on the former trial. Ile stated that he joined the \Vat Tyler brigade of Chartists at Greenwich on the 24th of May, and be said he was present at a meeting of Chartists at the George in the Old Bailey on the 10th of July, the day on which Ernest Jones was tried in this court fur sedition. About 20 persons were present, and the prisoner was among them, and after a short time he said it was a shame that the prisoners should go to prison without some attempt being made to rescue them; and he added that the van would go through Cow-cross on its way to Coldbath • fields, and that it would be a good place to attack it, and he said he knew a friend, who he understood to be a man named Daly, who would 1, ad out the Irish living in the neighbourhood for that purpose. The witne:s went on to say that he was prer.nt at the meeting at the Black Jack public-house on the 20th of July, and said he saw Powell, whom he knew by the name of Johnson, present, and he confirmed his evidence as to what took place on the occasion, and particularly as to the fact of the prisoner being appointed one• of the ul terior or secret commit: ee. Inspector Mark, of the It division of pace, was here examined, and he stated that he was in communi cation with the last witness upon the subject of the Chartist proceedings, and th a t h e re d uce d t o writing the statements he mwfe to him, which he signed after wards. He added, that he knew nothing of Powell at the time he was in communication with the witness Da vis. He identified some documents put into his hand as the same he so drew up. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proposed to put these papers into the hands of the witness Davis, to refresh his memory. Mr. PARRY objected to this being done, but The Couur ruled that the course suggested by the Attorney-General could be adopted. The witness Davis was then recalled, and the papers were put into his hand for the purpose stated by the Attorney-General, and he continued his evidence, giv ing the details of the various meetings at which he was present, when the prisoner and the other persons men tioned by the witness Powell took part in the proceed ings. He stated that the prisoner at one of the meet ings proposed that barricades should be erected from Tottenham-court-road to the Seven Dials, and that the whole of the Seven Dials should be barricaded ; and Holborn should be barricaded to a brewhouse at the corner of Liquorpond-street, which they were to make themselves masters of • and then they were t o b arr i ca d e St. Martin's•le-Grand, and to take possession of St. Paul's Cathedral, and if they could not do so they were to burn it. They were then to go to Doctor's commons, and along the back streets to the Temple, pulling down Temple- bar, and erecting a barricade thereon. Thence they were to go to Somerset-house, and then to Covent garden, and so round to the Seven Dials again. The prisoner also suggested that when the barricades were erected the stones should be placed diamond fashion, and that a portion of their body should be specially em ployed to break open the gunsmith's shops and fire the houses and other premises. At the time of these pro ceedings, Brewster, who took an active part in them, was a special constable in the service of the East India Company. He likewise said at another meeting, when a proposition was made to break open the prisons, it was stated by Lacy that the men of Westminster did not require any assistance in this respect, for that the re spectable inhabitants of Duck-lane and Pye-street had friends within the prisons were Ernest Jones and their other friends were confined, and they were as anxious to get them out as they could be themselves.—(A laugh.) After the witness had given some further evidence, the Court adjourned, the jury being taken, as on the former occasion, to the London Coffee-house, in charge of an officer. Just before the Court adjourned, Mr. Harker, the chief usher, stated that while the jury had retired to take refreshment in the middle of the day, the colt of one of them had been stolen from the jury box. A NETT COURT. William Parsons, aged 44, plasterer, was indietet for stealing the sum of 301., the property of Sarah Adams. The prosecutrix stated herself to be a servant out of place, having last been in service in Paris, where she had saved up the sum named in the indictment. On the 3d of October she arrived in this country, and met the prisoner in the New-cut, and asked him if he could re commend her a lodging; upon which he took her to a lodging• house in Whitehorse-street. After she had been in bed a short time, she saw him come into the room and take her pocket, containing the money, with which he went off before she could stop him. On the following morning she informed the keeper of the lodging-house, and gave such information as led to the prisoner's apprehension. Tho other evidence proved, that when the prisoner introduced the woman to the lodging he did not make any secret of who he was, but, on the contrary, told the daughter of the lodging-house keeper that he was a member of the same club that her father belonged to, which turned out to be true. The police having proved that when the prisoner was charged the prosecutor offered to compromise the matter for a sum of money; and the other testimony not being at all conclusive, the Common Sergeant directed the jury to Acquit the prisoner. James Hare, aged 37, mercer, and Charles Behden, 20, collector, were indicted, the former upon four charges of larceny, and the latter with receiving the property, knowing it to have been stolen, and also with harbour ing and assisting tho first-named prisoner in the com mission of the offences. Mr. Ballantyne defended the prisoner, and Mr. Clark son prosecuted. The prisoner Hare begged to retract his plea of " Not Guilty," and plead " Guilty." From the statement of Mr. Clarkson and the evi dence, it appeared that the prisoner Hare, who is res pectably connected, and uncle to Rehden, was formerly in business as a draper, but for a length of time past had been living by defrauding the wholesale and retail drapers of the metropolis, and during his career he had obtained property, consisting of satins and shawls, amounting to some hundreds of pounds in value. This mode of acquiring the property was by going to the va rious drapers to whom he had been known when in bu siness, or to whom he could obtain an introduction, and obtaining goods upon sale or return, which he pawned as soon as in his possession. Information of his depre dations having been given to the police, Uaydon and Webb, two officers of the City, were instructed to ap prehend Hare. On the 3d of October Haydon re ceived a communication from Rehden, requesting him to meet him at the Red Lion public-house in St. John-street, where he would give him information that would lead to the recovery of the greater port on of the stolen property. Upon Haydon seeing him Rehdt:n told him, that, if he would give him three sovereigns, he would give him information that would en able him to apprehend his uncle and lead to the re covery of the greater portion of the stolen property. Haydon upon that gave him the money, which he had no sooner got than he laughed at him, and told him ho would find his uncle at the station in Bow lane; that he (Rehden) had given information to an officer named Cooke, who had that day taken him. Ilaydon then told him, flint if I," nct return him the money he had given him he should take him into custody for obtaining money under false pretences, when he said he might do his best, and refused to return the money. Haydon then took him to the Bow-lane station, where they found Hare in custody. Rehden then gave his address, 10, Powell-street West, King-square, Goswell-street, where it was found out that he lived with his mother. Upon the police searching the place they found a portmanteau, in which was 3 list of the goods which had been ob tained, and 60 dulicates relating to the prope r ty w hi c h had been pawned.t It subsequently transpired that the portmanteau belonged to Hare, and had been left there, and that Rehden was unacquainted with its contents. Evidence having been given that Rehden had always borne an excellent character, and had only pledged one piece of satinet, and that under the direction of his uncle, the jury acquitted him. The CONMON SERGEANT then sentenced flare to be transported for seven years upon two indictments, the period of the second seven years to commence on the ter mination of the first. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Matthow Forster, the Member for Berwick-on- Tweed, r(siding at BElleisle House, Hampstead, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs for refusing to pay his legal and proper fare, under the following cir cumstances:— Martin Walsh, the conductor of one of Mr. Sinnett's omnibuses, stated that on returning from the City to the Great Western Railway, on Saturday, the 21st of October, Mr. Forster got into his omnibus in the City road, and rode as far as Broad -street in the City; but that previous to getting out he asked witness for 2d, without tendering any money. He (Walsh) told hies that the proper fare was 6d , but the defendant on alighting refused to pay, and went into the London Club House, where Mr. Forster eventually gave his address. A gentleman who attended for Mr. Forster, and said that he was his nephew, contended that his uncle had no obligation to pay more than 4d., as it was a well-known fact that all the omnibuses on that road ran for that sum. When 6d. was demanded, Mr. Forster, as well as the other passengers, was surprised, and thinking he was being imposed on he refused paying the fare, and allowed himself to be summoned for the purpose of placing the public on their guard. Alderman Gross asked the conductor if he had the fare properly painted up ? Walsh replied that it was painted on the door, and he called the defendant's at tention to it. Alderman Gums wished to know if there was any other fare than 6d? Walsh replied there was not, as the railway company would not allow them to run for less than 6d., being of opinion that if they did so there would not be that proper accommodation for railway travellers which was requisite. Mr. Forster's representative urged that the complain ant had evaded the Act of Parliament (6th and 7th Vic toria), by having the fare painted on the door below the seats, instead of having it painted on a " conspicuous " part of the omnibus. Alderman GIBBS considered the case had been proved. It was proved that the fare—and the only fare which the proprietor could charge —was painted on the door inside, according to the Act of Parliament, and therefore he must order Mr. Forster to pay the sixpence demanded, as well as 3s. costs, and 4•. to the conductor for two days' loss of time. The money was immediately paid, the gentleman attending for the defendant expressing a hope that pub licity would be given to the case, so as to warn omnibus travellers against an error they might fall into by getting into a railway omnibus with the idea that they were riding in a cheap one. MAIILBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Whitehouse, john Buchstone, William Barra, and James Thomas (the latter an assumed name), were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having created a disturbance in the public streets at one o'clock in the morning, and with having assaulted Police•con stable Boyce, C 181. The constable stated, that about one o'clock he heard a great disturbance in the Regent-quadrant, and on going to the place he found Whitehouse and another person. fighting together. lie parted the combatants, and was afterwards attacked by Whitehouse, who threw him down on the pavement. He got up and seized White house, and he also managed to give his rattle to a person near him in order to summon assistance. Barrett in terfered, and tried to rescue Whitehouse, and a sort of general melee ensued. By this time revered constable's had made their appearance, and, with their assis tance, the four defendants were lodged in the station house. The defendants, who were y oung gent l emen appa rently rather fresh upon town, did not deny the charge, with the exception of Barrett, who said he did not in terfere in an way. Mr. BINGHAM, after lecturing the defendants, fined. Whitehouse 405., and discharged the others. THAMES. Samuel Crow, the well-known Essex burglar, whoa escaped from the rural police on the night of the 31st ult. while they were in close pursuit of him, by breaking through the roof of the Black Horse Inn, Coggeshall, where he was concealed, was brought up before Mr. El liott, who sat for Mr. Yardley. The prisoner was locked up in one of the cells at tached to the station-house, adjoining the court, and in the afternoon he was conveyed to Witham, in Essex,. where he was delivered to the constabulary force. The , officers who captured him in London would not risk a., second escape, and the prisoner was securely handcuffed.. to Puddiford, on the journey to Witham. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Ocr. 26.
