(From the Dublin Pi lot of yesterday.) • COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 26. THE QUEEN v. JOHN MITCHELL. The Court was much crowded this morning, it being r umoured that the demurrer entered by Mr. Mitchell Would be argued. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having handed in two in r.ortnations ag a i nst M r . Mit c h e ll, a pplied that he should be called upon his recognizances. , After aome discussion between Sir Colman O'Logh oU and the Attorney-Geaeral, The COURT ruled that Mr. Mitchell should appear at e sit • • ting of the Court tomorrow or forfeit his recog lizances. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL at a subsequent period of the d ay entered the court and moved that Mr. Mitchell leia g now within the precincts of the court, should be called upon his recognizances. Sir C01.310i O'LOGELEN observed that they were not bound to appear until to-morrow, but if the Court thought otherwise Mr. Mitchell would appear at once. 11 .

They 7ere, we understand, es officio informations, charging nun with the same publications as charged in the bills found by the grand jury. Mr. Mitchell—ls there anything else? Clerk of the Crown—No. Mr. Mitchell then left the court, accompanied by his friends. THE PENINSULAR MAIL.

EDMUND PEEL THOMSON.— ve ry painful sensation of is gret has been excited in of —'enchester this (Tuesday) morning, by the intelligence the death of Mr. Edmund Peel Thomson, one of the ig —ne iPel partners of the eminent firm of Thomson, r Others, and Sons, calico printers, No. 1, Mosley-street, 1 . 3 hist city, who terminated his existence in the course Res lt evening, by cutting his throat with a razor, at tetresidence, Legh Lodge, Ardwi c k.

ZbISCOVE RY OF THE WRECK OF THE NABOB EAST bts aeLAN.—Advices in the City communicate the dis "et) )of th lost a few day s since on e I Ecretos rucks off -- racy, with th e greater port i on of her crew. For several 'll Yspast a numb er o f fi s hi ng and other vessels have been cruising about the spot of the melancholy catastrophe with the view of rescuing any part of the unfortunate ,hip's cargo, should any be found floating about. None, however, was tound, but in the course of the search a great quantity of wreck was picked up, as also the pin nace of the Nabob and the other boats belonging to her. The former boat was nearly smashed by the mainyard of the Nabob striking it as she was going down. The pin nace was capsized, and nearly the whole of its occupants were drowned. The following, we understand, were the unfortunate fellows who perished :—Walter Steel, Joh n Wollagan, Francis Pullen, George Rogers, William Johnstone, Peter Le Seur (a Frenchman), James 13os aettot James Davis, Arthur Brand, mariners, and Daniel Martin and John Gardner, ship's apprentices. The survivors are--Mr. Hugh M'Neilty, master; Charles Niel Dyer, chief officer; Neil Mlllonal , second officer; Thomas Davidson, Charles Johnstone, John Watson, P raucte Wilson, John Murray, John Burnett, and John Idarclew, mariners. On Sunday some of the fishing boats discovered the wreck of the Nabob sunk in about fifteen fathoms of water, near the Ecretos rocks, and between nine and ten miles off the land. GOLD ---The following are the principal localities ut which gold is worked or found :—lt occurs in small Scientific: in the Wicklow mountains in Ireland, at France in S cot l an d , and i n some parts of Wales. In - erance there is a true gold mine, that of Gaudette, in the valley of Opens. It yields native gold in a vein of rirts. It was worked before the revolution by Louis VM., then Comte de Proverce. The vein being too Poor, the working was abandoned. The auriferous rivers were very numerous. We may mention the Allege, the Gondu, the C. ze, the Rhone, near Geneva, the Rhine, near Strasbourg, the Salat, the Garonne, near Toulouse, and the Herrault, near Monpellier. Pied tmont contains gold mines, which are worked at the Zeßnt day with profit. At 'Macugeaga, at the foot of rt:int Rosa, ve i ns o f aur if erous su l phuret of iron are furtla,l!° with great activity. In G ermany, Salzbourg imports gold. H ungar y an d T ransy l vania possess very aisoov" rtant gold mines. The gold mines of Sib er i a are Y important. The gold is accumpanied by the Ne canierals as found in the auriferous deposits of the w World. Asia contains many gold mines. Africa possess es numerou s an d important auriferous deposits. Jo_ cner ica furnish e d, i n modern t i mes, the largest amount ;gold. North America produces little, and only in truth C arolina, Souther n A me rica, a n d esp e ci a lly t10 4 4..1, Choc°, and Chili are the most productive por ce,r4 It is al so f ound in Virginia. Mexico, Peru, and drtlrnbia furnish old, but that of Mico is principally 4 , p i a from the Silver mines.—Mining ex Journal. 14:_c e .ounts from B e l g i um state that the project of r*fative to the prop( sed loan had, with some minor 'crati ons _ _ , art % . e.Palsed the Chamber of Representatives by a Jets • c nty; after which it was resolved to authorise Ibere i te10. n ,,,, Me of the copper coinage to the extent of obi-12i Busiaeati at Brussels and Antwerp Colltiatlo6 4 iaactivi. of this article becomes very high, or if the season has been unfavourable. This politic measure is strikingly contrasted with that pur.ued by the British Govern ment in the island of Mauritius. Our letiers from China reach the 28th of February. The only intelligence of importance which they bring is the leave of absence obtained by the Viceroy Ki-yng on account of his health. This leave of absence by no means implies deprivation, for the in fluence of the Viceroy at Court is more powerful than ever, and there can ba no doubt that his presence at Pekin will tend to augment his credit, notwithstanding the reproaches which have at various times been insinuated against his sincerity, kis departure from Canton will cause some inquietude. It is notorious that he was convinced of the neces sity that the Chinese should live on a good under standing with Europeans, that the constant aim of his policy was the maintenance et peace, and there are great apprehensions lest his successor should not be endued with the same wisdom. The new year's Cite passed off tranquilly in every respect. This year has here, as elsewhere, proved ♦ery dead in a commercial point of view, but we have great pleasure in observing that it has not been fol lowed by any declaration of failures among the C hinese merchants. It is well known that in China all accounts, without exception, must be settled at the close of the year, consequently this is the time when failures generally take place. Last year they Were very numerous. This year, happily, not one of any importance was registered.—Dutch Papers, April 26. AIONE - f and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, (PARTE!? TO 7'>' A. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was rather heavy. Sales about 4.00 0 bales, including 500 for ex portation. Railway Shares were much the same as previously, being dull. Both Spain and Portugal appear jest now to engage the attention of the British Secreta r y for Foreign Affairs, financially. the one politically however, the other The Lisbon mail, arrived yesterday afternoon, informs US of the fact of our Envoy at that Court having made urgent representations on behalf of the unfortunate foreign creditors who -remain unpaid their last dividend, and who have not even the poor consolation afforded them of any effort having been made to raise the amount required. Indeed we are even told that the Govern ment of Donna Maria, prodigal as it may be of its funds for purposes of intrigue, despairs of possessing the means to meet the fair claims of the bondholders, and conse quently purposes to capitalise the coupons; and this, atter years of suffering, tinkering, conversion, and cou. &cation. However, the resources of Donna Maria have been so drawn upon lately to support herself upon her unpopular throne, that we cannot feel surprised at the present inability, and whatever promises may be made, we sincerely hope that the bondholders will not allow thamselyes to be elated by delusive hopes. They may obtain something, but if that something consist wholly of vapor, and not in part of cash, we would give them but little for their chance. The Belgian Government, it appears, are so satisfied with the ready acceptation by the public of the first authorised issue of inconvertible notes, or bank paper having the force of legal tender, that another project of law is, as stated in one of the papers, about to be laid before the Chambers, for empowering the Bank of the Seciete Generale to issue to the extent of twenty millions of franca more. The fact is, however, doubted by the Antwerp Journal du Commerce; or rather the announcement considered to be premature. Previous to such a measure the Government had ap pointed a committee to examine and report upon the situation of the Societe Generale. The favourable nature of the intelligence about the elt-ctions from Paris this morning, with the rise of the rentes there consequent, has improved the Funds here which yesterday were so much depressed. We have Consols now at 821 to I for money and account; Re duced, 80i to i; Three-and-a Quarter per Cents., 811 to it Exchequer- bills, 40a. to 435. premium. Bank Stock, 187 to 9.

We have a fair market for Shares this morning, with prices better for some lines, such as Brightons and Caledonians.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The members of the Grand Jury for the present term were sworn this morning before Chief Justice Pat tison. The Learned JUDGE in explaining to them the nature of the duties they were called upon to discharge, al luded to the recent excitement in the metropolis in con sequence of the large meetings that have taken place. He said at all times large public meetings were fraught with danger, or at least caused much excitement and app, ehension In the public mind, but political meetings were more than ordinarily dangerous, as they not unfrequently disturbed the peace, and the parties who attended them often did so in ignorance of the danger in which they placed themselves in consequence of the results that might ensue. The gentlemen, whom he was addressing were no doubt aware (in fact every one was cognisant of the fact) of the memorable instance of the preservation of the peace by a great number of the loyal subjects of the Crown on the 10th of the present month. On that day the citizens of this great metropolis, to their credit be it stated, came forward to assist the ordinary preservers of the peace in keeping order, and for the purpose of pro tecting their property and that of their neighbours. Never, perhaps, ►n the history of this or any other country, had such a desire been manifested•by the subjects ' of the realm to protect peace and property. This was the more remarkable, and the more praiseworthy., as it took place at a time when other countries were dis tracted by internal commotion. The arrangements for the preservation of the peace on the day to which he referred were most praiseworthy, for they were the means of preserving the peaceably disposed portion of the people from the greatest danger. It had been stated that the precautions taken by the Government were quite unnecessary. Probably this might be so, but if they had not been made and danger had ensued they would have been b!amed. In his opinion the Government acted properly, and therefore he looked upon a statement to the contrary as a gratuit ous assertion; he thought he could not enforce his opinion better than by referring to a passage in " Cook's Voyage Round the World," in which it was stated that preventive measures were the most meritorious; but it often occurred when they were adopted, and it was not found necessary to enforce them, that injudicious persons always condemned them. lie had thought it right to make these observations fro:n that seat of justice in order that publicity might be given to them. The jury were then remitted to their duties. BAIL COURT.--(THis DAY.) (Sittings in banco, before Mr. Justice FATTISON.) EX PARTE LEWIS. Mr. PETERSDORFF moved for a rule for a writ to re move the proceedings of an inquisition from the court of the coron er i n t o t hi s Court. Some short time ago an individual was f oun d d rowned in the Medway, and the Coroner of Kent b e li ev i ng that the death occurred with in his jurisdi c ti on summoned a jury and held an inquest. He had previo us ly rece i ved notice from Mr. Lewis, one of the deputy coroner ' s of the Admiralty for the Ro chester district, that un d er the existing law bodies found in the Medway did not come within the jurisdiction of the county coroner, but under that of the Admiralty, and the present motion was made with the view of having the disputed point decided by the Court.

(Before Mr. Under -Sheriff BlEcnL.) There were only two cases in the list, and one of those was struck out. BOULTER V. ALAND. This was an action to recover the sum of 9/. is. 6d. for plumber's work, &c. The plaintiff pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff is a plumber, &c., at Slough, and the defendant is a ge n tl eman, the owner of several cottages, &c., in the same place. The work was done under the direction of a person named Prentis, who received the rents, and otherwise acted as agent for the defendant. Prentis was bankrupt a short time since, and put the plaintiff in his balance-sheet for the amount now claimed, but the claim was repudiated by the official assignee, who, on the contrary, required the plaintiff to pay a ba lance on an account between plaintiff and Prentis. For the plaintiff evidence was adduced to show that Prentis let the premises on behalf of defendant, and on a dispute arising with one of the tenants, the defendant wrote to the latter, adopting the agreement, and saying that Prentis was his whole and so l e agen t, and defendant wa heit painting was being none.. Fso present the was contend e d that this was not sufficient to go to th e j ury; f or , a d m itting th at Prentis for the purp ose o f rece i v i n g the ren ts , wasdefendant evidence whilst agent gentt there was no evidence that Prentis was authorised to pledge the credit of the defendant.

It appeared that on the 17th of March last, in Smith field market, the prosecutor bargained with the defe dant French, with whom he bad had previous dealings, n. for the purchase of a cow for 18/. He had not the money about him, but told the defendant that he had i at home. French insisted on getting it before h t allowed the cow to be taken away; and Xing 0 fetched from home 16/. 10s., which ho gav accordingly e to the de fendant. The latter then asked him when he would a: p 1 , the balance (305.).

Vie prorcut,ir seized the animal by the horns, and, with the assis(hhce of his man, got her as far as Cow-cross, French and the two other defendants endeavouring to prevent him, and, according to his witnesses, beating him savagely all the time. At Cow-cross he was compelled French with his stick upon the face, the force of which broke the stick.

In his cross-examination (by Mr. BALLiNTINE) he admitted that he had not taken up the bill of exchange for 274, and that he was defending the action brought g em iri a n l g l t u a p ken to up ß , i o n : by French. The jury found the defendants Guilty, recommending Jenkins was sentenced to pay a fine of ls., West 6s. Bd., and French 251., and to be imprisoned until the fine was paid. The tines were paid. SO UTHWARK. —(THIS DAY.) William Jones, a cab-driver, was convicted of furious driving, and endangering the life of his passenger, Mr. Cole. Ile was fined twenty shillings, and the cab was taken to the Greenyard. The defendant's master applied to Mr. Cole for his fare from Greenwich to Kent•street, four miles. Mr. SECKER said the complainant was not liable for the fare, for had his neck been broken by the defen dant's furious :and improper driving, what recompense then could he have. The Magistrate then advised the complainant not to pay the fare• for if the proprietor of a cab engag e d a fellow like the defendant fur his driver, he must take the consequences of his conduct. The owner roust also pay the expenses incurred at the Greenyard. ,TING INTELLIGENCE. _____ NEWMARKET TI JE s DFIRSTi NIGHT, I T N W G E MEETING. E °ct t.

Purcell, a young lady new to the musical world, gave her first annual concert at the Princess's Concert rooms. She has a mezzo-soprano voice of con siderable sweetness, which has evidently been well culti vated. The programme comprised a good variety of vocal and instrumental music. She was very much ap plauded in the Romanza "II Pensieroso" (Giacinto Marras), and in the recitative and air, " Love, art thou true ?" (Rooke). Miss Sara Flower was encored in " Quando quell' nom quell' unnico" (Nini), and " The Swiss Girl" (G. Linley). A similar honour was paid to Mr. Collins for his performance on the violin of the " Carnival de Venise" (Paganini), and Mr. Sydney Pratter for his fantasia on the flute. The room was well attended. WORKS IN CHESTER CATHEDRAL.—A. correspon dent of the Builder, writing from Chester on the works which have been going on for some time past in the cathedral, says the choir has been restored and re arranged ; the ceiling, which had never been finished, has been groined ; the old sittings have been replaced with substantial oak fittings, with solid bench ends; the unsightly galleries which disfigured the choir have all been swept away ; the floors have been relaid, partly with black and white marble, and partly with slate and Hopton-wood stone. The floor round the altar has also been laid with slate and Hopton stone, in the form of a Maltese cross. There has also been added an altar rail of oak; and a new stone screen (the gift of the Rev. W. P. Hamilton) has been placed between the altar and St. Mary's Chapel. The bishop's throne, which was so mutilated that it was difficult to decide what it had been originally, has been restored at the expense of the Re!: Canon Slad e .

A very pleasant extravaganza in one act, entitled Lola Monte:, in which the author, Mr. Sterling Coyne, has cleverly availed himself of the recent doings of the rather notorious—we beg the lady's pardon, celebrated—Lola Montez, are set forth hu morously, but not maliciously. The Senora (Mrs. Buckingham) in consequence of exercising her whip upon the shoulders of a Captain of cavalry, is obliged to fly from Vienna, and takes refuge at the house of Notchen Nickle (Mrs. Keeley), a clear-starcher, at Munich. Lola confides her situation to Notchen, who kindly assists her escape. The soldiers in search of the bellicose lady enter, and take Notchen, who has donned the habiliments of the Dona, to the Court. Here the merry-hearted girl is sup posed to be the veritable Lola—she dances a cachuca, and indulges in every sort of jollity, to the utter horror of the Court insipidities, but to the infinite gratification of the somewhat used-up Prince Greenasgrass (Mr. Tilbury). She dances herself into the heart of the old gentleman, who, to tempt her to remain at his Court, confers on her a patent of nobility. N o tchen has a lover—Karl Hed wiger (Mr. Keele y )—the court barber, who, coming to voice f cike his professional duties, is struck by the otchen. After much " excellent fooling," the lovers are surprised, affectionately embracing, by the Prince and his Court. Notchen and Hedwiger are loth t o restore the patent of nobility, but ulti mately consent tot accept, in lieu of the honour, a thousand round sum o f a florins. Mr s . Keeley was admirable throug h out flagged, and t h e ;her spirits ne ver f or a mo ment cachuc a merited the e n core it re ceived.

Last evening the "London Sacred Harmonic So ciety," composed chiefly of seceders from the " Sacred Harmonic,' gave their first performance at Exeter-hall, under the direction of Mr. Surman, the late director of the old Society. Handel 's oratorio " Judas Maccabeus" was selected for the oocasion, and upon the whole it was performed in an effective manner. The solo parts were given by Miss Birch, the Misses Williams, Miss Duval, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Stewart, &c. The chorus, a numerous one, afforded a full volume of voice, but for want of effi cient industry, they were often, to use a common ex pression, "at sea " in some of the most important passages. The audience who mark these defects are little aware how much depends upon the sentiment infused into a large body of performers by spirited and decided conducting ; and this, to say the plain truth, they had not last night at the hands of Mr. Surman. The orchestra, led by Mr. H. Blagrove, and including most of the principal names on the various instruments, was an effective one. The most striking feature of the evening was the production of a "New National Hymn," the words by Mr. G. Linley, the music by W. V. Wallace (the composer of Maritana), and which was given after the conclusion of the first part, with the whole strength vocal and instrumental of the company. It is a massive production in the key of C; every note comes out as it were chiselled in a rock ; and there are some effects produced in the introduction of the various voices, which evinced a genius of composition of a superior order. In the passage— " Holy Power ! upon her smile, Guard her from each traitor's wile;" And again, in " May her reign extended be, O'er a people blest and free ;" the female voices came in in a sort of echo to the latter lines with an effect which was striking and picturesque in the highest degree. So also the brass accompaniments, piano, to the line— " Peace and joy her steps attend," were skilfully and beautifully introduced. The burst upon the refrain " God bless the Queen !" was ex tremely grand. The " New National Hymn" (con ducted by the comp o s e r) was rece i ve d w ith enthu siastic applause, and unanimously redemanded. Mr. Surman was applauded on his appearance in the orchestra, and at the close of the oratorio was honoured with renewed cheering. The perform an c e was i n a id o f th e f un d for th e relief of English refugee artisans from France, and we are happy to add that the great room was ex tremely well attended. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. The concert of Mr. Gerhard Taylor, the eminent harpist, which took place last evening, presented features of considerable interest to the music lover: firstly, as regards the wonderful performance of the conce*giver himself—one of the first, if not the very first, of modern harpists ; and secondly, as it was the means of introducing to the public several pupils of Mr. Howard Glover's new " Musical and Drarriatic Academy," who had been hitherto un known to fame. Mr. Gerhard Taylor's performance was most masterly, and fully justified the encomiums which his talent has drawn from such artistes as Jules Benedict, Balfe, Barnett, Sir G. Smart, and though last, " certainly not least," Dr. Louis Spohr. He played all schools, from Dreyshock to Beethoven, and in all gave evidence of almost incredible di g it a l dexterity, ennobled by true musician-like f ee li ng. Mr. Taylor plays all kinds of pianoferte music with out any alteration, and produces an effect i n it w hi c h we should hare deemed impossible upon hi s somew h at ungrateful instrument. His perform ance o f Thal berg's "Etude Chromatique" was a perfect marvel of execution. Mr. Gerhard Taylor was several times encored during the evening, and creat e d the greatest enthusiasm. The following is a rough translation of a note ad dressed by Dr. Louis Spohr to our young country man, who reqaested him to give an opinion upon his performance :—" By desire of the harp virtuoso, Gerhard Taylor, I present him with the following testimonial :—He is an admirable master of his in strument, and handles it with a certainty, power, and delicacy only to be met with in the greatest mas ters." We will merely add, that praise from Louis Spohr is " praise indeed." We will now speak of Mr. Howard Glover's pupils, who were the only vo calists on the occasion.

A curious fact connected with the election is stated. All the coalporters, boatmen, and others residing at the Villette outside the Barriere St. Martin, in which is situate the canal Harbour, voted for one candidate on;y, Prince Louis NAPOLEON, and, in anticipation of his triumph, are enjoying themselves in the surrounding cabarets and cafes. SWITZERLAND. A letter from Bask of the 22d states that the rebel HECKER, who had taken refuge there after his defeat by the troops of Wurtemburg, had received orders to gait. It was rumoured at Basle that STRUVE and HERWEGII had also made their appearance there to raise recruits among the Germans. On the 21st a band of 2,500 Germans, commanded by SIEGES DE Scuorrmx, assembled at Basle, rather better armed, it is said, than the band which HECKER had com manded, bat on the news . of the defeat of IlEcaxx, and the approach of the troops of Bavaria and Wur temburg, they made a hasty march towards Schmitt. A letter from Berne of the 22ci says--" The Diet has adjourned its sittings to May 12. Before separating it adopted the report of the Committee charged with the distribution of the sums subscribed in favour of the victims of the war against the Sonderbund. It referred to a Committee the demand of the Cantons of Uri, Schwitz, Zug, and Underwalden, to have the sequestration taken off which had been placed on the ammunition and stores belonging to them, and seized on at Tessino. It also heard several communications relati►e to the events occurring in Germany. A personage, guarding the strictest incognito, arrived here last night, and put up at the Hotel du Faucon. He left this morning early for Geneva. It is supposed that it is the ex-King of BAVARIA going to rejoin Low. MONTER." AUSTRIA. The Municipal Committee of Vienna are about to organise a guard for the security of persons a n d property, called Sicherheitswache, as a substitute for the old police—the latter force having become too unpopular to be retained in the service. An account from Pontafel, of the 19th, given in the Wiener Zeitung, states that the head-quarters of Count NUGENT were advanced on the 18th towards Palma Nuova. On that day there were several skir mishes between the Austrian troops and the numerous bands of the insurgents, in which the former were victorious, taking possession of Prevano, Valvasane, and Codroipo. The regiments Hohenlobe and Prohaska have re ceived orders to descend from the passes towards Udine, which, it is expected, will not be able to bold out many days. The steamers of the Austrian Lloyd's are armed, and placed at the disposal of Count NUGENT. RUSSIA. The Augsburg Gazette states that, by the recom mendation of Marshal PASKIEWITZ, Governor-Ge neral of Poland, a deputation was to proceed from Warsaw to St. Petersburgh, to solicit the Emperor of RUSSIA to re-establish Poland in the same position as existed before the revolution of 1830, as well as to demand the union of all the parts of Poland now subject to other Sovereigns into one state. A letter from Berlin states that General DE Proxx. had been sent to St. Petersburgh, it was supposed to treat of the situation of Poland; and that an Austrian Ge neral was to proceed from Vienna to St. Petersburgh at the same time, for the same purpose. SEARCH FOR ARMS IN DUBLIN.--The following is an extract from a private letter received in London this morning : "We have just heard that the Privy Council has ordered the city of Dublin to be proclaimed, and an immediate search to be made for arms." EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Common Juries). ARNOLD V. RYAN. The plaintiff in this case was a Sheriff's officer, in the employ of Mr. L. Levy. The defendant was a short hand writer, residing at Enfield. The action was brought to recover compensation in images for an alleged false imprisonment upon a charge *if felony. Mr. Crowder, with whom was Mr. Miller, appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant. From the opening address of Mr. CfIOWDER it appeared thst the plaintiff had been left in possession of the de f,ktidant's premises under a writ of fi. fa. upon a judg_ wont debt of 131. 10s., entered up at the suit o f a Mr. Clubb. Upon the day after his taking possession the defendant satisfied the execution oy the payment of the debt and costs, which he paid by one ten pound note and the remainder in gold. Shortly after the plaintiff left the house the wife of the defendant missed three five pound notes, the numbers of which she had previously noticed. Upon this the defendant pur sued the plaintiff, upon whose person he found the three notes, which were identified, and gave him into custody upon a charge of stealing the same. The plaintiff was committed for trial by the magistrate, but upon the trial taking place was acquitted, and the present action was brought for the purpose of recovering com pensation for the ,damages thereby sustained. Upon reading through the evidence given before the magistrate and at the trial at the Old Bailey, from which it appeared that' the • plaintiff on being arrested stated that he had received from the defendant the three five pound notes in payment of the debt and costs, 134 los., the remaining 11. 10s. was given for the plaintiff's own use. The plaintiff had been seen in company with another person ; and it was suggested upon the trial that the prisoner had handed over that portion of the money paid him by theldefendant. The Learned Coun sel now contended, that if the plaintiff was really guilty, ho would have parted, not with the money which he had actually and fairly received, and for which he had given a receipt, but with the notes alleged to have been stolen. Mr. Baron ALDERSON wished to know whether the plaintiff had any further evidence to offer than that give❑ upon the trial, as he did not think that the mere fact of an acquittal could give a right to an action for malicious prosecution. After some discussion upon this point, Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that he would take the opinion of his learned brothers upon it; and, after a short absence, returned into court and stated that the Court was of opinion that there was a scintilla of evi dence, and he should therefore allow the case to proceed. Several witnesses were then called, whose evidence was merely corroborative of that given upon the previous occasion of the trial. The Learned BARON, in summing up, told the jury that they could not find their verdict for the plaintiff unless they were fully convinced that both the defendant and his wife had committed wilful and deliberate perjury upon the trial, and no evidence whatever had been adduced to prove that such was the case. After a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 50/. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. Canezou ...

Ste wart had been frequen tl y in the habit of visiting Arbroath with the twosatl boxes of jewellery with which he travelled; but his ap pearance and apparel, as well as his penurious habits, led to the conclusion that he was far from being in affluent circumstances. After his death, his landlady, accompanied by a man of business and a magistrate, had his effects sealed up, and, to their very great surprise, found that, instead .of the few trumpery articles which they naturally supposed had formed his stock in trade, there was a very large collection of valuable gold and silver watches, diamond finger-rings and pins, not a few of the rings enamelled and set in diamonds, besides other articles of great value. There were at the same time found two deposit bank receipts for the sums of 200/. and 26/. respectively. No relations having appeared, and in the absence of any settlement by the deceased, Mr. Robertson, the sheriff-substitute of Forfar, and Mr. Forsyth, the procurator-fiscal, arrived at Arbroath on Wednesday last, and took possession of the whole pro perty on behalf of the Crown. The entire value of the preperty is supposed to be not less than 600 L Stewart's wearing apparel was valued yesterday by a broker, and curiously enough, as if to mark the contrast which his stock in trade exhibited to the meanness of his garb, the latter was found to be worth *enormous ram of 2e.fd. atarikvingtriragh
