AIONIYMARKET AND COBIDIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, The done TWELVE o'CLocK. owin y Market is in a v er y per t ur b e d state g to the sudden rise yesterday in the official rate of discount. The brokers have since Thursday last, when the minimum was advanced to 7 per cent., charged fully 4per cent. more than the Bank quo tation, and the greater portion of the demand has consequently been th rown upon the national insti tution. The further increase in the value of money has tended to strengthen the indisposition of capi talists to negotiate business even at the new quota tlol3, viz., 8 per cent., until they have seen the Weekly return to-morrow, and been enabled to form a decided opinion as to the position of the Bank. At the bullion office of the Bank yesterday there Was a withdrawal of 35,000 sovereigns for the Brazils, and £4,000 for the Continent, while £16,000 was received there. rho bills of a Bombay bank were returned yes terclaY• The cause assigned is that the funds in London had been attached. The liabilities are supposed to be small, as the bank has not been established more than a year, and did not transact a large business. A meeting has been held to-day of the Hudson's 13a y Company, f or the purpose of considering the following resolutions : That an association be now formed, to be called " The liudson's Bay Shareholders' Association," having for its Principal object—t o support all necessary an d p roper mea suresrfor carrying o u t th e systematic colonization of the f or teory. That th e f o l lowing resolutions be proposed adoption at the ne x t ensu i ng Court of the Company " That the Hudson's . Bay Company having bee n re-arran ge d i n 1863, with the expressed object of Man g to European colonization a large area of the terri tory under a liberal and systematic scheme of land settle ment, the interest of the company demand the accomplish !neat of that obiect without any further delay ; and that the directors be requested to take into their early and serio us consid era ti on what is the best mode of effecting the object. That a memorial be presented as soon as con- Vendent after this meeting, to the directors, protesting Ag a inst the reported p ropos i t i on to alienate the lands of he Corporation of Canada, and urging immediate steps for the settlement of the territory. O'CLOCK At the Pari s B ourse this morning, Two . according • to Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent Rentes were quoted 63f. Very flat. Offering. Continued depression prevails in the English St ock Market, and the Funds show a decline of Per cent. This depreciation is no doubt p ar tl y , ° .wing to th e arrangements for the monthl y liquida lion, which will be concluded this evening. A job ber doin g on l y a small business in this department has been declared a defaulter, but there has been no other failure. Consols are 868 I for money, and ,8„511 for money, an d 85+ 1, ex div., for June. Th e 'Now Th rees and Reduced Annuities have been dealt in rather largely at 84+ f. Bank Stock is quoted 242, and India Stock 212. India ser Cents. are at 104 4 105. p Yesterd ay afternoon most of the principal z °reign speculative Stocks improved, and the ad vance has tempted sales by those who bou g ht a t ig the lowest point of depreciation. The consequence a renewal of heaviness, as will be seen by the fol lowing latest prices :—Turkish 5 per Cents. are 11 ; 8 1 ; Mexican, 16 + 1 ; New, 14+ 15 ; Greek, 10f ; Spanish Passive, 22f 23 ; the Certificates, 158 ; Italian, 38 39 ; the New Loan, 55 60 ; and Brazilian Scrip, 8f 7f ; United States 5-20 Bonds, 6si 66 +; Erie, 46+ 47 ; and Illinois, 76f 77. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of b usiness has been transacted, and a firmer tone has Prevailed.

IN ESTMINSTEE. CREEL TREATMENT or A poor German girl who has been in England only a few months, and has but the slightest knowledge of the language, came to this court and besought the magistrate's protection. She said sho had been living as servant in a family in Oakley-crescent, Chelsea. but, in consequence of the violent conduct of her mistress, she left her situation last Sunday, and went to lodge in Manor-street, from which she had been suddenly turned into the street without any cause. Her mistress came to her lodging this morning, and having told her land lady that she was dishonest and had robbed her, and, the landlady believing it, said she should stay no longer in the house and turned her out. She solemnly declared that she had never robbed her mistress, and that there was no pre tence for saying that there was. Mr. Arnold asked her if she could not get another Lodging ? The poor girl burst into tears, and said that sho was a stranger in this country and perfectly friendless. She could not walk the streets and did not know what to do. Mr. Arnold said that it was very cruel conduct to this poor girl, and the law would teach the mistress a useful lesson if put in force. He sent the poor creature to the German Society for redress.

Neither of the prisoners seemed to be under the impression that the other ought to give way, but this not being done a collision took place, and the deceased, being a passenger on the omnibus driven by Payne, was thrown to the ground, and sustained such injuries that ho lingered for nine days and died. The defence was that the night was dark and foggy, and that the vehicles did not come in sight of each other until it was too late to prevent th• ac cident. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. In the case of Christian Olifier, pickle-merchant, who stands indicted with the abduction of Elizabeth Tolly, application was made to postpone the case until next ses sion, the grand jury having ignored the bill for felony and found one for misdemeanour. The application was agreed to, the same amount of bail being taken for his appearance. The other defendant, Mrs. Houghton, who stands charged with him, was ad mitted to bail in two sureties of £5O each. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A BANKER'S SERVANT.—George Bolston, servant to Mr. Charles Caesar Hopkinson, banker, of Nc 3, Regent-street, charged with stealing a quantity of plate and a gun of the value of .£7O, the property of his em ployer, was again brought before ➢Zr. Tyrwhitt , by Ser geant Shellingford, 4 C, by whom ho was taken into Cus tody at Southampton. An assistant to Mr. Bartrum, pawnbroker, produced a number of articles of plate pledged by the prisoner on dif ferent days in the name of Mr. Macaulay, as also did an assistant to Mr. Harrison, showing that the prisoner had been pledging the property some time before he absented himself from his master's house. The evidence having been read over, Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner whether ho wished to say anything. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed for trial. dency. MONT. CALS. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—" Not Wisely, but Too e lN h r a e n l l" ge i ins c t o h i i l s t i n n u u m e n d b , e a r n . d A K f t a e t r e h u e n r d r iu g n o e e s s s a great she h e be comes quite serious, and gives up all past frivolity. James Stanley is a very interesting character, and attracts particular attention amid all the selfish, volatile crow by whom he is surrounded. While they are immersed in nothingness he is " getting on so as not to be taken unawares by the Great Reaper whose harvest ing time is all seasons of the year." "Number Five Brooke Street" also progresses, and Mrs. Lepel pursues her schemes with unabated ardour and zeal. This story pre sents us with some animated accounts of country life and gay scenes, and some of the characters are described with vivacity and vigour. The complicated narrative of " All in the Dark" has some striking incidents in this instal ment. Aunt Dinah dies, and leaves her nephew in a state of bewilderment as to her intentions on his own prospects. A very interesting article is that called " Cowardice and Courage." The numerous anecdotes recorded are strange and striking, and are evidence to the force of impressions and the pecttliar influence of events upon the mind. The reader cannot fail to be entertained by its perusal. " Dreams, Omens, and Predictions" is a curious paper that will also be found well worthy of notice. It is truly said that " the world at present is given all to extremes, and vibrates alternately between credulity and unbelief ; both are deadly errors." "The Streets of Paris and their Tra ditions" is continued, and brings many strange and inte resting things before us in its reminiscences of bygone days. " Oak LeaveS and Mould" is a sketch in verse that is written in a melodious style, and exhibits deep feeling in its tone. "The Reform Bill of 1866" is the title of the political article, and the writer congratulates himself upon the verification of some predictions before made in this magazine on the subject. It is said that this Parliament has shown great vigour and conscientiousness. Perhaps never before in a great political crisis was there less of the spirit of faction or more general independence of judgment or earnestness of purpose exhibited by the House of Com mons." On the whole this May number of the " Dublin University" is a very interesting one, and above the average in point of morit, and in the variety of its contents. TEMPLE BAR.—." Lady Adelaide's Oath" is con tinued, and is very exciting in this number ; it records the putting Lady Adelaide to the Oath, and the terror she exhibited in passing through the ordeal. This story is most ingenious, and will in due time reveal the presence of some deep mystery. " A Beal Casual on Mendicancy" is the continuation of some papers on the same style of subjects that have before ap peared in this serial, are very appropriate at this juncture, and afford an insight into some phases of life of which many are ignorant. "Fuss and Feathers "is a sketch in the satirical line of the follies of the day, and the vanities of some who make much ado about nothing. " Many are the people whose lives are made up of fuss and feathers ; whose education, mind, income, experi ence, are also all fuss and feathers, sticking out awk wardly at times and showing the naked flesh beneath." Some lively verses are called " Meoruna Finis Amorum ;" they are written in a flowing style, and sketch scenes in an animated manner. "Archie Lovell" is continued, and this time the extraordinary young damsel struts her brief hour upon the stage of London, where she shows very unfavourably, and it is quite a relief when she departs again for Morteville. " Wastes and Commons" is an article that well deserves notice at this time when the subject engrosses so large a share of public attention. It is truly said that parks and enclosures have never in their way come up to one's notion of country, and that it will bo a sin and a shame to allow the molestation at present going on to continue. Mr. Cowper's measure is not thought very highly of, and no wonder ; it does not meet the exigency of the case as well as it ought. The real point at ' issue is fairly put forth in this impressive passage—" What we want, what the people of London want, is a secure guarantee that the open spaces for 15 miles round St. Paul's cannot be enclosed or diverted from the public use as recreation grounds, and this can only be done by making the wastes and commons national pro perty, which might be easily and speedily effected. What, however, is done should be done quickly; the hand of the builder is on his measure parcelling out first plots, his heart is in his work, and a serious curtailment of the area of our commons and open spaces may take place should legislation on the subject be postponed to another session." " Only too True" is the first part of a story whose scone is laid abroad. " Modern Eccentrics" is a curious paper, that relates some strange characteristics. There is a " Sonnet' to conclude the number, which is rather lugubrious in its style. COLBURN'S NEW MON TRLY.—" Cayenne and French Gufana " is the subject of the first paper, founded on a Frenchman's reminiscences of a visit there. The picture is not an attrative one. Francis Yacox contributes a disquisition on "Esprit de Corps and Corporation Conscience," which records how men who would scorn to tell a lie or commit any other dishonourable action individually, do not scruple collec tively to do so. Addison suggests that this is a mistake, observing very happily that the division of guilt is like that of matter, " though it may be separated into infinite portions, every portion shall have the whole essence of matter in it, and consists of as many parts as the whole did before it was divided." Cyrus Redding discusses " Penianism," an appropriate topic just now; and Lieut.- Col. Miles continues his narrative of a voyage from sea to sea through the Isthmus of Suez. The story of " Idalia" is proceeded with, and chronicles the rescue of its heroine from her dungeon by the devotion of Erceldonne. The chapter is somewhat spun out. "Lilian's Inheritance" also continuos, and the mystery of the story is unravelled. Tho fair child's fatal "inheritance " turns out to be a fearful species of hereditary disease peculiar to Mexico only. We have one or two pieces of verse, Nicholas Michell con tributing some lines on " The Little Houseless Wanderers of London." BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—" The Constable de Bourbon" has reached the siege of Pavia, so that we may look for still more exciting chapters. The other stories, " Thrown Away," and " Briars and Thorns," both belong to modern English life. " The Procienses of the Palais Royale" supply an enter taining chapter of histories' and biographical recollections. " Bumptiousness " treats that very common quality with the contempt it deserves. "About an almost Wish of Thomas Hood's " is an essay referring to the not infre quent desire of attached psrsons for simultaneous departure from this world. Among the remaining papers are " A Ride to the Dead Sea," " The One-Legged Lieutenant," and " The Deer Hunt at Waltham." AUNT JUDY'S MAGAZINE. Edited by Mrs. Alfred Gatty. No. 1. Bell and Dalby.--The young folks of our time are already, some may think, plentifully provided for ; but they have certainly no periodical in their Lilliputian libraries which can at all compete in attractions with Aunt Judy's stories. It is in tended for those who aro out of the nursery, but in truth there is provision eves for that; and all that story-teller, artist, poet, and others can do to gratify, to charm, to re fine, and to improve tho eager busy world of young folks has been done. Mrs. Gatty's name is already popular as a graceful and thoughtful writer, who knows how to com bine jest and earnestness, while it is sufficient to say that the opening story of " The Cousins and their Friends" is by the author of the ever fresh and delightful " Mia and Charlie ;" that " The Dial of Life" is sketched by no less h hand than that of James Nasmyth, of whom all boys at least ought to know something. " A North Polo Story," told in verso, with a spirit that arrests the attention of other than childish readers, is a tale of an encounter with wolves in the dreary wastes of the Arctic Seas. Altogether the miscellany, which includes two other stories, a chapter on corals, a collection of stray memoranda, and sundry varie ties does full justice to the reputation already acquired by Mrs. Alfred Gatty, as a wise and fascinating caterer for the young. GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Oliphant's story of "Ma donna Mary" proceeds with unabated interest, although painful complications are inevitably in store. The wilfulness of Winnie, the sorrowful room un e c le le Ct, aro all depicted gs touches, by which Mrs. loneliness of the widowed Mary, the tender, foolish, little ways of poor Aunt Agatha, the matter of-facttearnrdibtlhyeunsatis es. She loves to pourtray Oi f n a l c i p t precision t o hh r ao y nset ch bq a uu r a ii lecdtt quiet, r ouyofpef yet laborious hthhel mercenary ea e rb b o srr stories. o d o r iu e character somewhat after the manner of the pre-Raphaelites, and with careful minuteness photog rap h s every phase of thought and feeling. Poor Mary's troubles seem to be only thickening round her, and Captain Percival is evi dently inclined to make mischief out of his Indian experi ence. "A Visit to the Andaman Islands," by a Govern ment Commissioner, gives an account of those interesting islands and of their aborigines, respecting wh om s ome curious experiments have been made. "Quaker Philan thropy" is a suitable second chspter to "Quaker Millinery" in the last number. Dr. Mitchell contributes a paper on the " Weather of May," in which it is curious to notice how common are the proverbs and cautions implying dis trust of the bright spring weather. THE ARGOSY.—Among the more attractivepapers in the Argosy are an essay on Mr. Carlyle at Edin burgh, by Alexander Smith, and " The Tent and its Inhabitants," by Arminius Vamliery. " A Morning in Copenhagen," by our idle voyager, is a plea sant paper, while an Irish sketch, by Anthony Trollope, will be secure of a welcome. As a whole, however, we hardly think the Argosy fulfils the promise with which it sot forth on its voyage: THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.--This is a very excel lent periodical of its kind, well printed and well written. Its religious views would not, of course, suit every reader ; but those of Dr. Guthrie's way of thinking will appreciate them, while the general articles, stories, and poems commend themselves to all. Ox c z A-NsTELL—Once a- ITTed coutillue4 iu its improved style, with animation and variety; full of story, legend, song, sketch, comedy, discussion. The principal story, " The Race for Wealth," is by the author of " George Geith," so its readers may guess that it will not be deficient in vigour or interest. THE ECLECTIC.—The list of contents in this month's number of the Eclectic has more than usual interest for the general reader. " Raphael Santi " is the first topic, and "John Keble" the last, Victor Hugo occupying a middle position, so that no one can complain of a lack of variety. THE FLORAL WORLD.—No. 5 of The Floral World contains all suitable instruction for the amateur btanist during the merry month of May, - which is just now so very ungenial to all living things whether in the garden or in the household. THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER. Vol. ll.—This is a scientific miscellany containing very useful and instructive reading for all of studious and cultivated tastes THE ENGLISH MECHANIC.—This is a well-known periodical of standard reputation in its peculiar line ; and it is plentifully illustrated with appropriate engravings. It is an excellent companion for an intelligent mechanic. THE TRUE HISTORY OF A LITTLE RAGAMUFFIN. By the Author of " A Night in a Workhouse." Nos. 2 and 3. Beeton.—The excitement which was created by the revelations of the " Amateur Casual" have encouraged the author to venture on another picture of the lowest strata of London life this time in a more elaborated and collected form. There is little doubt that the Little Ragamuffin, what with the previous performances of the writer, and the interest lately excited respecting our homeless boy, will introduce him self into a very wide circle of acquaintances.

THE SCOTCH REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS BILL. - In the Scotch bill, the distribution of the seven additional seats does not seem open to the slightest objection—pos sibly, indeed, the town of Aberdeen may think she ought to have a second member as well as Dundee, but she can comfort herself with the fact that the county gets what eke does not, and that what a friend gets is not lost. The franchises are, of course the same as the English, with the necessary exception of the county ownership franchise, which is brought down to £s.—with the condition of residence, a condition which the Lord Advo cate would have done well to extend to all ownership qualifications under £lOO. As a sort of set-off to this, the new ownership electors in burghs must reside within the boundaries, and not, like the ten-pounders, take a margin of seven miles round. The Scotch bill is a peculiarly good bill ; but it is sure to be severely attacked from both the English and the Irish camps —from the English because we have got seven of their seats, from the Irish because the spoil of England has all come north, and none gone west. Nothing, however, can be clearer than the claim of Scotland to at least those seven seats, alike on arithmetical and on moral grounds.—Scotsman. CHARLOTTE WINS OR.—lmmediately after the decision of the judges with reference to the case of this wretched woman she was taken back to Newgate, and after having partaken of some refreshment she was at once taken to Exeter gaol in charge of one of the warders. It appears that since she has been in custody she has conducted her self very well, and in a manner becoming her position, and although she did not offer any opposition to the course that was taken on her behalf, she was to a certain extent com pletely passive in the matter, and it would seem from ob servations that dropped from her that she has all along been prepared for the worst, and did not entertain any expectation that she should escape the sentence of the law. It is a fact that is probably not generally known that the Government have paid the whole of the expense of the legal proceedings that have been taken on behalf of the prisoner, the advisers of the Crown considering the pointts that were raised to be of such importance as to render it advisable that a solemn decision should be come to by the judges upon them. The prisoner was, of course, utterly unable to find the necessary funds, and the Government felt it their duty to do so. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, May B.—Advices from the Unit e d States to the effect that the price of cotton had given way there, the further advance of discounts by the Bank, and the continued apprehension of war, have all combined this week in causing further , dulness and depression in this market. They have all but led to a suspension of business. Sellers of shipping yarns report the market worse than it has ever yet been, so that it is quite im possible to make sales at anything like . reason ' able prices. The market in this branch closes very depressed, and lower prices are quite the order of the day. In home-trade yarns the market has also been very depressed, and things are reported to be worse since the telegram announcing that the bank rate had been raised to 8 per cent. than they were before. In some quarters manufacturers are reported to have bought at an advantage of id to per lb. as compared with last Friday ; but even at this reduction they are only purchasing to cover the more pressing wants of the day or week, and appear to have no confidence in prices recovering, or, in fact, of seeing them so high again. For cloth there is no market to-day. T want of confidence everywhere There se , em bo s th to a m b o e n a g general agents and buying Very low w offers Pricesi ces haveare veryb eebeen low and almost nominal. , manufacturers showing more h g o o w ods th u e p y o m n a t k h e e omffearrskeatt disposi'ziou to press but buyers are cautious and are showing great As compared with this time reticence generally. last month, sellers' prices have been lowered 2s. ld. to 2s. 4d. per piece in madapollams, 2s. 6d. to 4s. per piece in printers, ls. 9d. t o 3s. and 4s. per piece in 39-inch shirtings, 2s. 6d. to 38. 6d. i n 45-i nch shirtings, 9d. to 12d. in jaconnets, 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. in T.-cloths, and 3s. 9d. to 4s. in longcloths ; but even at these low rates such quotations are in many cases only nominal. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth-market this day : " We consider our market much weaker since last Tuesday. Prices have daily declined, and there is now more anxiety on the part of manufacturers to sell. The raising of the Bank-rate and rumours of war have, doubtless, contributed to this result." LEEDS, Bth.--The cloth-hall markets to-day have again been of a quiet order. There was only a small attendance of sellers as well as buyers, and while the latter purchase cautiously, and no great bulk of any particular description of goods, the former are not bringing very liberal supplies to market. A fair quantity of cloth, however, is de livered direct from the manufacturers to the mer chants, and the general condition of the trade is sa tisfactory, the only contrary circumstance being a little gloom from the unpleasant aspect of affairs on the continent. Canadian buyers are beginning to make their appearance, but not much business has yet been done with them for the 4, fall" trade, for which, however, there is reason to believe there will be a good demand, our North American colo nies being prosperous, and English cloths being also wanted in the United States, to which they find their way through Canada. The country clothiers report that they are tolerably well employed on orders, and the large manufacturers are as well em ployed as we have lately had to notice. There is a reduction in the price of cotton yarns, which has a tendency to slightly lower the price of -union goods, in which some export houses are doing a good busi ness for the continent. • NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—There was a moderate at tendance at our Ex3hange-hall to-day. There was a limited demand for lace yarns, and where business was pressed prices were in favour of the buyer. The demand for hosiery yarns continues dull, prices tending downwards. The inquiry for brown nets was very inactive, and prices were easier. ROCHDALE, 7th.—The flannel market is still de; pressed, and even a little more so than last week. Few buyers have been calling at the warehouses since our last report, and to-day the attendance was miserably thin. Some limited transactions took place in fancy goods, but otherdepartments are more than ever neglected. Notwithstanding the slow consump tion, the industry of the manufacturing population is well engaged, and in one branch the hands have obtained a substantial advance in their wages. There is no change for the better in the Yorkshire trade, and wool is quiet, with every prospect of it remaining so until after the approaching sales. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. _.„.._. The market is very much depressed. Sales pro bably 5,000 bales. STEEPLECHASINC.—At the Lewes Petty Sessions yesterday, Mr. J. G. Blencowe, chairman, Allen Sadler, jockey; Mr. Edmund Duke, owner of several racehorses; and Mr. William Wyatt were summoned by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having, on the 4th of April, at Ringmer, unlawfully beaten and ill-treated a horse. Mr. Lang ham, of Uckfield, appeared for the society ; and Mr. Lamb, of Brighton, defended. Mr. Lamb, to save trouble, consented to plead guilty if the facts were not brought out, but the magistrates said they must hear the circumstances, and accordingly the case proceeded, the defendants plead ing not guilty. The circumstances were these :—On the 4th of April the annual steeplechases were held at Ringmer. The weather had been very wet; consequently the ground was heavy. In one race a horse called Barabas ran, and was ridden by the 'd e f en d an t S a dl er . B e f ore it arrived at the last fence it was observed to be exceedingly exhausted and swerved to and fro. When it reached the final leap it refused to take it, whereupon the defendant Wyatt struck it violently with a whip on its haunches, and the jockey used his whip freely. Ultimately Barabas attempted to clear the fence, but failed, and fell on to the bank with its legs and head doubled under its body. In this position Sadler stood over it and inflicted 10 or 12 severe blows with an ash plant. So violent was he that a universal cry of "Shame " was raised, and the mob called on the police to take the jockey into custody. Instead of doing so, however, they thrust him aside and endeavoured to protect the animal from further injury. Mr. Duke then presented himself, very excited, and, swearing, said he was the owner of the horse, and endeavoured to resist the police. The horse being unable to move itself was lifted up by several persons, and supported for a short distance, when it walked very slowly a bleeding and much exhausted. It was then covered w7t a, h y mud ; in this condition it was taken for some miles to Mr. Duke's stables, which it reached at 11 o'clock at night. It was left there unwashed till 7 o'clock the next morning. When the horse was being ridden towards the last leap several persons on horseback, seeing the sad condi tion it was in, rode across it in order to prevent its jurap ing the fence, but they were driven back by the jockey with the ash plant which ho carried ; and when it first re fused the leap Mr. Wyatt gave it two or three hard knocks with a whip. Mr. Duke also struck the animal. These facts were spoken to by Mr. A. Donovan (a magistrate), Mr. Langridge (clerk of the peace), Mr. T. Chatfield (son of the High Constable of Lewes), Superintendent Jenne', and others. Mr. Langridge was cross-examined to show that he was interested in the result of the race, and that he rode across Barabas to prevent its getting a second place. He denied, however, that ho had any bets on the race, and said he rode across the horse because it would have been great cruelty to make it take the fence. Be was himself a sporting man, but the treatment that Barabas received was to his mind excessively cruel, and worse than he had seen any other horse treated that day, although they were all more or less ill-used. Mr. Donovan, who was one of the stewards, said he himself felt rather conscience-stricken upon the matter. The course was very heavy, and all the horses had to be hardly treated to make them get along. Indeed, he considered that all who were at the races were morally more or less guilty of cruelty, and he did not know why the throe defendants should have been pitched upon and brought b e f ore the magistrates any more than t h e rest. He thought th a t b y r i g h ts a ll o f th em s hould h summoned.

Mr. EVANS said he regretted• he could not support the bill which had been introduced, although he had no objection to clerks to justices being paid by salaries, but he thought the conduot of the prosecutions ought to be a part of their duties. Mr. LEEMAN !said his experience led him to 10;ll e v o that the bill, instead of being an improvement, would be an obstacle to the administration of justice. Mr. SCOURFEELD and Mr. G.

Mexican journals in the Imperial interest are commenting upon the deceptions which have been practised upon those emigrants who, trusti ng t o th e o statements c ur eu e s d tomedto rose-coloured of Senor Maury, th a t h e people se-o would establish a system equal to the wants of a slave-holding, which would be acceptable to them, sought the sunny clime where, in the shadow of the venerable institution, they might make themselves comfortable. They wt e tah x iket p he e ,n e ,. t gE e im d :dptini t aiire e evessmr g ,y.,, o to a land flowing with milk and honey, and to be received with loud applause, whilst Senor Maury himself would make them esl ip m on e. these happy by his fraternal embrace. promises, considerable numbers of unreconstructed Americans, who were disgusted with the idea o f Imperialism, a system which they fondly expected living in a free country, sought the c s o h n el s t i e dt r ehree l d : open their would be agreeable to their tastes.

Some of them have ve already spent their money , and are subsiding into the con dition of paupers. Others, who have means left, are leaving the country as fast as they can, pro claiming that they have been swindled. There are said to be eight or nine thousand of these emi grants at Cordova, out of hope, out of credit, and out at elbows. MAURY himself has fled, and the grand Mexican emigration scheme has turned out to be a huge imposture. The journals think that the Government (imperial) ought to turn its at tention to these abuses. But the Government evi dently has more to attend to already than it has the means to properly mana g e, and these victi • 'ms of confidence, steeped first in the cri • me of rebel lion, still unrepentant, may reflect over the truth of the maxim that " the way of the trafisonssor is o h ar d, ,, --Anglo-American Times, yeS tbis 'rin - Ora° I by ora- in cd inc° .g a ge ales? ees" ,the I , of toed ;for the the on'B l e Of ale" the heir Oa 1631 ;ea' 6ds , ell )10 LS in •00 ifo )0" cloa art 4 lot 'eV, ter , $ 5 ; iiet B~ is) tu a .Ui- 100 et 20 14 MI.
