TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR. All who are professionally conversant with the condition of our Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and eharac- ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and parochial clergymen feei the want of competent persons on whom . . . . . . they could rely, in "fisting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-controT, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. 'the want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as lit our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries :an Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses hes worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institut' on for Nurse," will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions) position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the sigh character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That :the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes : 1. Those under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after p,s . ing, through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of flee years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in- tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under au organised system like that which m ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-four members, (exclusive c f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also recelved the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of York, and the Bishops of Llehfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Frere, Esq., and Dr. Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti tution. _ Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer. ) The following gentlemen have formed themselve s i n t o a Provi sional - slonal Committee, to arrange the details of the Instituti on , and to solicit assistance for Its establishment and maintenance : Rev.

George Gillian Mr. James H. Ower Rev. J. It. M‘Gavin Mr. William Boyack Dr. Arrot Mr. William Lett Mr. James Westland Mr. James Chalmers, Jun. Mr. Patrick Watson Mr. Arthur Begg, jun. Mr. Thomas Saunders. TREASURER—Mr. Patrick Watson. SECRETARY—Mr. William Boyack. The Committee anpointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been conided to them. The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knowledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his muse have been brought beime the pnblic, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable mced of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, in'esd, combined the vicissitudes of A humble child of the Muses. having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments. accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the Hawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and via. His wishes were fulfilled. for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has lett a widow and three infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Committee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce tha. their call has been responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Messrs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un• obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view.

DEATH OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERITRY POET. (To the Editor of the "Dundee Courier.") Dundee, February 29, 1848. Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of Wiliam Thom, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had be- a in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable and sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven A.M., he departed this life. He has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly suffer, like the inscription on the coffin, to he buried in the tomb. Ile has left behind him, alas! something of yet ten derer and more mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal in behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Ile has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he received while yet alive. A true poet, he met with truly poetic usage. He was caressed, but not fed; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years : But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would Implore every lover of literature— every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost Dahlia tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others But as Dundee has had the honour of containing, his death bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of Isis widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middlet , m, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed I am, Slr, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAIT. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death : SONG OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN YALE. Tune—" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh a'ad sing, in this happy ring, With a bright and a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the suu hath set On the homes of misery. For oh ! it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some fireless hearth, Freezing the heart of the homeless one, With never a friend on earth. Then aye, as we sing, may we closercling, In our bright and brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made for this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tie a debt we owe to Heaven, you know Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain and his hail; May it never be said that hunger and woe Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Then aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. THO3f.

It appears that the horse he was riding took fright, and becoming quite unmanageable, ran away, and after proceeding some distance, ran against a cab, but getting clear of that was observed to give several violent plunges and fall, throwing the gentleman with great violence on his head; the horse, who was much injured, falling on its back, and rolling over him. Mr. Deedes, when picked up, was discovered to have broken his left arm, his left eye, as well as other parts of his face, being severely cut. 141 e was immediately conveyed home iu a lady's car riage that happened to be passing, when he was attended by Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Hicks of Henrietta street, and is now reported to be going on favourably. THE LADY GODIVA PROCESSION.—Last week public meeting was held to consider the expediency of getting up at our approaching great fair in June the anciently instituted procession of Lady Godiva.

Nearly 201. was subscribed in the room towards defraying the expenses of the procession, and other subscriptions have also been received, amount ing at present to upwards of 501.—Coventry Herald.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.— Yesterday the opening match of the season took place, but owing to the want of wind was a tedious affair. The weather, although extremely pleasant for an excursion, was most unfavourable for sailing. There was not enough of the propelling power throughout the match to test the sail ing qualities of the yachts, and for the first three hours the surface of the water was as smooth as a well kept bowling-green, the yachts being more indebted to the tide under them than to the wind above for their tardy progress. Eventually the Daring was the winner of the first prize, the Secret the winner of the second-class prize, and the Frolic of the third, and the prizes were presented by Lord Alfred Paget with appropriate sreches.

Appropriately dedicated to Lord Brougham, as " the earnest advocate of law reform," this volume is an able argument, with illustrations from the compa rative trade and commerce of this and other countries, in favour of partnership en commandite, a system advantageously engrafted on the mercantile law of France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, as well as in the United States of America. Here—unless there be a special exemption by the provisions of an Act of Parliament, a charter, or letters patent—every shareholder in a joiat-stock company is liable to the fullest extent of his property, no matter how small his investment, for all the liabilities of the con cern. On the cantmandite principle, the liability extends no further than the amount of capital which each party actually puts down as his share. The work before us strongly urges the adoption of that system, as affording very favourable opportunities for the employment of capital, the circulation of wages, and the revival of our home and colonial trade. This is not a law-book, it is rather a review of the condition and prospects of our trade and commerce, particu larly with reference to the competition which the Zolle-erein union of Germany and, the United States of America are establishing against our manufactures, both for home consumption and for the supply of countries which we had heretofore considered as our own peculiar and profitable markets. The inference is, that as the competition, which is rapidly in creasing, is likely to injure our foreign trade, we should s eek a compensation in our home and colonial markets, and that partnership en commandite, with its limited liability, would supply the requisite capital to effect this with indivi dual and national gain. An introductory chapter, partly autobiographical (though the work is anony mous), gives some curious particulars relative to the rise and progress of the cotton trade in this country. Succeeding chapters treat of the trade and commerce of 1847, circulation of wages, competition and decline of trade, cause and effect of panics, competition of American and British trade, industrial resources of Ireland and the colonies, and employment of capital. 'We fear there is only too much truth in this sarcastic account of that fondness for display which has hastened, if not caused, many disasters of late years : " One of the great errors of the present time, espe cially injurious by its peculiar operation in the commer cial world, is the constant endeavour to keep up the ap pearance of greater wealth than is actually possessed. It was not the fashion, formerly, for the merchant or the trader to aim at a rivalry with the extravagance of rank and fashion. The merchant or the trader did not then disdain a residence in the house where he carried on his business and made his money. He indulged in no ex travagance nor ostentation; but plodded on, honestly and perseveringly, until, at length, he had sufficient means to retire, leaving, it might be, a good name and a fair capital to the son or grandson who was to con tinue the business. A new system has sprung up. The merchant, the trader, even the retail shopkeeper in nu merous instances, disdains anything so low as a resi dence on the premise , : where his business is conducted. The merchant shifts from the City and its precincts to the most fashionable streets, terraces, or square of the West-end, where his establishment—liveried servants, stud, equipages, plate, furniture, pictures, sculpture, and entertainments—rival, and often eclipse those of the he reditary and titled possessors of landed property. Per haps he may also have a suburban villa in which to ruralise, as well as he can, during the summer and autumn months. In like manner, the trader and the shopkeeper are disgusted with the place where they con descend to transact the business by which they live. On a more limited scale, they follow the example of the merchant. They have their villas' in the suburbs— keep up an interchange of sumptuous dinner and other parties with their friends—are particularly knowing on the subject of vintages—affect a taste for the fine arts— are critical on the comparative merits of Jenny Lind, Grisi, and Alboni—are in ecstasies over the pirouettes of Cerito and Fabri—contrive to waste time and money at the fashionable watering places with their families, and live, in fact, as if the income-tax were a thing unknown and unthought of: After a time, the night comes. The grand show and extravagance naturally pave the way to the Gazette. The bankrupt is very much pitied. His estate may pay some eighteenpence in the pound. He is encouraged—invited—pressed to recommence busi ness. He gets whatever credit he requires. He pro bably pursues the same course again, and most probably with the same results. Now, if a proper principle of rectitude prevailed in the commercial world, such things as these could not occur, or, if they did, they would heap shame and bring punishment upon those who did them. On the Continent there are more prosecutions for frau dulent bankruptcies in one year, than in England in twenty : yet who will say that there is less fraud in England?" " Young Ireland " may wince under the follow ing remarks, but their truth is undeniable : " Of that self-dependence, then, which would labour for the public and for private advantage, there is little in Ireland. Nearly every article of wearing apparel, every necessary, every luxury, is got from England. The very paper and ink a man writes with, the quills or steel pens he uses, the wax or wafers with which he closes his letter, the coat he puts upon his back, the hat which he puts upon his head, his gloves, shoes, handker chiefs,—all articles in metal, from the penknife and the razor to the steam-engine and the thrashing-machine, — whatever is required for use or show, by necessity or luxury, the Irishman obtains from England. He will not believe that he can produce them himself; he cannot believe that, if produced in Ireland, they can be as good as those which are imported. He talks of patriotism, — and gets everything from Encland; he is eloquent over the poverty of his native land,—but makes no effort to remove that poverty by energy and industry ! He con siders it an amazingly fine tbing to cherish the excite ment of believing that a Parliament in College-green would make the country great, glorious, and free,' — what she never was. He gets up a sensation, every now and then, in favour of Irish manufactures;' and ha rangues, with indignation and eloquence, against the use of English materials for dress or domestic consump tion. And, even while he is stringing fine sentences together, in an effective and brilliant oration (thinking all the time how well it will look in the newspapers), English broad cloth is upon his limbs; a French hat, of' choice Regent -street make, is on his head; his hands and feet are adorned with gloves and boots from Paris; his silk handkerchief is redolent of Spitallields; and his very innermost garment was wrought in a cotton factory at Manchester, for he patriotically prefers English calico to Irish linen! How much better would it be, if these eloquent and high-minded gentlemen—who talk so fervently and write with such intensity—would really apply themselves to remedy the evils they deplore, con demn, and get angry with. Let them determine, really and truly, to give the preference to Irish manufactures, and the thing is done. In this, as in most others, the first step properly taken is the conquering of the diffi culty. They must not expect that, as by a miracle, every branch of Irish manufactures can in a moment equal those which they have hitherto imported. But let there once be the demand, and the supply will be not only abundant but good. Skilled labour can readily be procured from the places where it has done so much; and it would be an imputation which the Irish do not deserve, to think that they could not as readily learn how to do things properly as other people have learned." The chapter on the circulation of wages is the most important in the work; it must be studied per se. The American statistics, brought down to the month of March, are full of valuable facts. Indeed, the whole work is literally a storehouse of facts, adroitly brought to bear upon the subject of the work. We can easily p,rceive that the pen of a clear and prac tised writer has been at work here upon materials which extensive experience has carefully collected. The work ought to be studied by statesmen, mer chants, and lawyers ; it addresses itself, indeed, to all classes. An appendix very properly supplies a view of the law and nature of partnership; a digest of the Parliamentary evidence on the conanandite system; the law of limited partnership in France, Ireland, and New York, and the heads of a law, to have like operation here, which the Hon. F. Baring communi cated to Mr. Bellenden Tier in 1837. took ytil whom the TUE Pouslt BALL.—The annual ball in aid of th e costume danc es funds wi ii is, o 6 f i t z l , 7 o ms. very fully and fashi ona b ly vt- W t e e n d o e b d s e , r t v i e p d w a t r h d e s D o f u c 7 h 0 O e s s b e e s i n o g f p L r e , s e e d n s t , ai a : dm, LadyoAngrgs Dover, Countesses of Egremont and Zetland; Viscountes ses Dillon, Dungarvon, and Gage; the Marchioness o f L S l a i d g y o , , s tl t i r e a t D h , e ) d w e a l g i , t. r s: lN c t . a , r c sz i c i i . on e l s i s i e o f fo S u l r ig were the Duchess of Leeds' White Eagle quadrille, the Marchioness of Aylesbury's mazurka, the Duchess of Bedford's Oak-leaf quadrille, and Mrs. Milner Gibson's Red Plume quadrille.

MAY 30, 1848. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House of Lords sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, aticl Lord Campbell. SIR THOMAS WILDE V. GIBSON. The further arguments in this part heard appeal oc cupied their Lordship the whole morning. -OLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls sat in his Court to-day to give several judgments and hear causes. WARD V. WARD.—JUDGMENT. bef His the LORDSHIP gave judgment in this ca se, which came ore Court a short time since upon motion to dis miss the plaintiff's bill. His Lordship ordered the bill to be dismissed without costs as to some of the parties, and with costs as to others. WILLIE V. ELLIS.—JUDGMENT. The MASTE R of the ROLLS also gave judgment in this motion to discharge an order for irregularity, which required the plaintiff to give security for costs. His Lordship dismissed the motion with costs. WILSON V. EDEN.—JUDGMENT. His Lordship also gave judgment in this case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of the Court, as to whether 'under the will and codicil df - the late Sir Robert J. Eden, who was possessed of large freehold and leasehold estates in Yorkshire, his leasehold estates, passed by the will under the clause, providing for the disposition of the freehold estates, or under the residuary clause. On the case coming on for argument, the Master of the Rolls suggested that the best course to be adopted, would be to have the question decided by a case at law, but the parties preferring to have his Lordship's decision, he consented to give it. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts and circumstances of the case, stated his opinion to be, that, according to the true construction of the testator's description of the devise in the will it passed freehold estates only, and that the leasehold estates were compri se d i n the gift of the resi duary estate. His Lordship, however, was not sure that he had done right in consenting to decide the question without the opinion of a court of law, and if the parties claiming under the devise wished the opinion of a conrt of law, he thought they were entitled to a case for that purpose. He would therefore su s p en d t h e execution of the decree for a week, in order that the parties might consider the subject. ATTORNEY• GENERAL V. WARD. The Court proceeded to hear the further arguments in this part-heard case. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WILSON. The further arguments in this case occupied the Court the whole day. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) His florioun, after disposing of the case of Wood v. Hardisty, which stood on the paper for judgment, pro ceeded to hear causes, none of which possessed any points of interest except to the parties concerned. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) MORRISON V. MORRISON.--JUDGMENT. His HONOUR gave judgment this morning in this case, which our readers will recollect came before the Court some time since upon a great number of excep tions to the Masters' report relative to the management of estates in the %Vest Indies. The Court overruled the first nine exceptions, directed the Master to review his report with respect to the 10th and 11th, and gave no opinion upon the 12th, as the Lord Chancellor had pro nounced his opinion upon it. PIMII V. INSOLE. . The further arguments in this part heard case occu pied the Court the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) RUSSELL V. SMITH. Lord Denman gave the judgment of the Court in this case. It was an action brought by the well known com poser Mr. Russell against the defendant for having un lawfully made use of one of his compositions—namely, " The Ship on Fire "—he having represented it at Crosby Hall for gain, by which the plaintiff had suffered great and grievous injury. Two questions were raised for the adjudication of the Court, in the course of the arguments pro and con. First, is " The Ship on Fire " a dramatic composition ? and, second, was Crosby Hall, at the time the composition was represented there, a place of dramatic entertainment within the meaning of the statute ? It appeared, the Learned Chief Justice said, that the composition in question, and another styled the " Gambler's Wife" were in the programme, and that the first piece was intended to convey an ideal of a ship on fire, with the scenic adjuncts of a storm and men and women struggling for their lives. Such a representation was intended to create feelings of sympathy and pity, such as constituted a dramatic entertainment according to Lord Bacon and other eminent authorities. The Court, therefore, considered that the composition was essentially dramatic in accordance with the Acts of the sth and 6th Victoria, c. 45. fol. a new trial must be discharged. Rule discharged accordingly. BANKRUPTCY. —(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Rom.) IN RE• LAZARIIS.-SIISPENSION OF CERTIFICATE FUR TWELVE MONTHS. This bankrupt had carried on an extensive business as a horse-dealer, in Oxford-street, and to-day came up for his certificate. His HONOUR said that although no creditors opposed, he did not consider it was a case in which he ought to grant the certificate forthwith. The bankrupt's debts and liabilities were nearly 2,000/., and there was not a farthing for the creditors. The bankrupt had gone on trading long after it was evident he was utterly bank rupt, and had been paying some of his creditors in pre ference to others; and even the day before the fiat he had paid one creditor 20s. in the pound and left other tradesmen to whom he owed small debts unpaid. It could not be expected they would go to the trouble or expense of attending to oppose, but to protect such per sons he felt bound to suspend the certificate for twelve months from the date of the fiat (in October last). The bankrupt pressed for protection. His HONOUR said he never made a rule to grant pro tection, but left the bankrupts open to arrest as a punish ment for their improper trading. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Joseph Brooks, a well-known thief, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having picked the pocket of Mr. Spring Rice, son of Lord Monteagle, of a purse containing a quantity of silver coin, The prosecutor stated that yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, he was walking along Charles-street, by the Opera Colonnade, when he felt a sudden twitch at his pocket. He immediately put his hand in his pocket, and missed his purse, containing about 18s. in silver. He turned round, and saw the prisoner standing close to his side, and suspected him to be the thief. Witness then looked for a constable, and the prisoner, seeing that he was suspected, called a cab, got into it, and ordered the cabman to drive on. Witness then went up to the door of the cab, and said to the prisoner, "My man you have picked my pocket." The prisoner made no reply, and the cabman drove slowly up the Hay market. Witness followed the cab as far as Regent circus, when he met a constable and gave the prisoner in charge. Dearne, 141 C, said he was on duty in Regent-circus last evening, when the prosecutor came up to him, and pointing out a cab, told him that a man was in it, who had picked his pocket. Witness went up to the cab and took the prisoner into custody and conveyed him to the station, where he was searched but nothing found upon him. The prisoner had plenty of time to make away with the purse before witness took him. The prisoner, who protested his innocence of the charge, was remanded till to-morrow. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

A man named Charles Broome, who had been employed to clean one of the large vats, which are forty feet high, was standing on the top of the ladder, his foot slipped, and he fell over to the ground. His skull and ribs were fracture. He was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, but little hopes are entertained of his recovery. EXTENSIVE FIRE IN MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Yes terday morning, about three o'clock, a most myterious and destructive fire happened on the premises of Mr. Bradshaw, glass-merchant, Great Marlborough-street, near Regent-street. It originated in the lower part of the premises, and although Mr. Staples, with two bri gades en g i nes , qu i ckly arrived at the spot on th e flames firt alarm, yet su c h was t h e extent to wh i ch the reached, and so quickly, that they communicated to the ground floor and drawing-room. By extradinaby four o'clock uexr ertions on the p art o f t h e firemen and po lice , not until o'clock t h e f i re was extinguished, bu t great d amage was done to t h e va l ua bl e furniture and other property. Not the least account could be ob tained of t h e cause of t h e fi re , an d t he great damage it has occasioned. Colonel C. Rowan, 'senior Commissioner of the metropolitan police, will, it is said, shortly receive the honour of knighthood from her Majesty. [PRICE SD. 3.10/ilr and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO T 111: EIS. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 7,000 to 8,000 bales ; 1,000 bales of American were taken un speculation. Prices of American under 40. were a shade dearer; other descriptions remain without alteration. In Railway Shares the market was quiet, with very little business doing ; prices, however, were but very little changed. Intelligence has been received at the North and South American Coffee-house of the arrival off Liverpool of the steam-ship Britannia, from Boston and Halifax. It is not expected, however, that the letters and papers will be in town until late to-night. . The continental advices, with the exception of those from Denmark, are not favourably construed. Almost everywhere the impression seems to gain ground that an hour may bring forth further important movements in France. The junction of Nugent and Radetsky pro mises more decided news from Italy ere many days have elapsed, and no one can arrive at a conclusion as to what is next to take place in Naples. The progress of the debate upon the navigation-laws is watched with considerable interest, and the admission of the Protectionists even, that alterations are needed, is held to be worth something. In the meantime the re commendation for the maintenance of the duty upon foreign sugar, with some other indications, aro con sidered to indicate an under-current, which, unless resisted, may:sap the principles of free trade. The benefit of those principles, even in less prominent mat ters, receives daily illustration, and we may quote a few remarks by Witherby and Hanson in reference to the article of dried currants. They state that— . " The clearances for home consumption have been unprecedentedly large for the season of the year, having reached from 21st ultimo to 20th instant 1, 020 tons against 465 to n s, 600 tons, and 560 tons during the like period of the three previous years. At Liverpool, dur ing the four weeks ending 16th instant, they have been 340 toss against 240 tons in the corresponding weeks of last year. In 1846, however, when the operatives were , whils t!: o tn se e o l f as la t fully employed, they exceeded 400 tons. From the Ist January exceed to 20th instant, the London clearances have consumption of the three months of the tons üßoardti.tea rd of iT t n h rga e ddo l e i mk during returnri d e h b to y hwe l s ,2l theast against 3,000 tons and year, 2, 95t00 tonshave of 1847 and 1848. inheethne like m onths "When this article ranks of society, th e tons was used exclusively by the higher season by our own gree n nnfsumption was checked at this low price has created a rui'ts and vegetables, but as its the working classes, especiall g eneral demand for it amongst may expect to see the cleara nc es in populous districts, we exten sive scale throughout the summ eres continue on an therefore, in all probability have t months.

The quantity h e ld by importers i com paratively light and in few h an d s , and higher s have been obtained within the la s t f ew days. The re is ls no fruit now offering below 38s. ; f or good C ephalonia 395. has been paid, and 40s. is asked f or middlin P atra a g s, which, a month ago, was unsaleable at 385." There are accounts from Java which notice the suspen sion of Messrs. Daendels and Co., at Semarang, with liabilities, estimated at 100,0001., white, according to some accounts, the assets are but 68,0001. Accounts from Spain advise the failure of two firms at Malaga engaged in the fruit and oil trades. It would almost appear from what we hear that the mercantile interest of Spain is experiencing temporarily an incon venient pressure, owing to the unfortunate misunder standing with England. The Stock market is exceedingly dull, and it is re markable that there is such apparent uncertainty in the views of parties connected with it. Some time since there was much more confidence than at present that prices would improve, but now the Bulls have ceased to operate, the Consols ap pear more sensitive. The price is 84k to i. Exche quer-bills are 30s. to 355. premium. Bank Stock is worth 193. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 831 to i. The Foreign Bonds are extremely dull. Spanish Three per Cents. are 22k to 23k; Mexican, 15i; Bra zilian, 68; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 421 to 43. Shares are flat again, and business is very restricted.
