(E'rom the Morning Post.) The Tay steam-ship, Captain Chapman, with the Brazilian mail, has just arrived. She brings mails, and dates from the following places :—Buenos Ayres, Dec, 3 ; Monte Video. Dec. 6 ; Rio Janeiro, Dec. 15; Lisbon, Jan. 11. The Tay trings four hundred di of go idd. w ,t, tif een thousand pounds pvtin worth of diamonds, a tolerable freight list, and th i rty .fi ve passengers. We learn by this arrival that General Urquiza was to cross the Parana on the 15th December, to commence hostilities against itosas. Roses had collected an army of 30,000 men. 1110 Brazilian army was encamped near Monte Video, "Truk had not fired a shot. Treaties had been concluded between the Brazilian Government, defining the boundaries of the two countries, and binding to assist etch other in case of attack. Exchange at Rio, 28 pv,mium. From Lisbon there is no further news of importance. The rainy season had set in. SPAIN. The military outbreak in the barrack of San Fran cisco appears to have been easily suppressed. Of the revolted troops some hays been shot, and others con demned to the gallies. The following order has been addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Go vernor of Madrid " Having remarked that certain journals have asserted that the Ministry intended to propose to the Queen to reduce the duration of the military service, and that this intimation, divulged in . that manner by other channels, hag induced a hope that it would be realized, the Go vernment of her Majesty declares that it never contem plated such a measure. Never has a reduction in the duration of the service taken place in circumstances similar to the present one, and it would, moreover, be contrary to the existing legislation and to the respect due to the rights of the generality of the men liable to bo called upon, inc tresh recruits would be more frequently levied. The Queen, who has ordered the Minister of War to adopt whatever measures he thinks proper on the occasion, h as instructed me to recommend you not to permi▪ t the circulation of journals, or printed p a p ers, in which the ques tion should be treated in a contrary manner to the views of the Government. You will accordingly seize all pu blications violating th a t prescripti▪ on. By order of the Queen, I give you this notice tbat you may lose no time i n co mmunicating it to the directors of the journals, it being ber Majesty's desire that the prohibition be car ried this day into execution. God preserve you many years. (Signed) " The Minister of the Interio_,r , " Madrid, Jan. 8, 1852. BERTRAN DE LIS. " To the Governor of the Province of Madrid. "The present Royal order is to be forwarded to all the Provincial Governors." EGYPT. His Highness the Pasha returned to his Palace of Abbassia, from his residence in the Desert, on the 25th ult., for the purpose, chiefly, it is said, of re ceiving publicly Mr. Anderson, M.P., and Mr. Samuel Briggs, the depu►ation appointed by the public meeting held in London on the 14th of October last, to present the resolution thereat adopted, and which was to the following effect "That this meeting desire to convey to his High ness the Pasha of Egypt the assurance of their sympa thy and their support, by every legitimate means, in the present position of affairs—a sympathy and support which they consider he has fully earned by the liberal, active, and judicious manner in which he has devoted, and parposes to devote, his resources to the security of the transit of the British mails, travellers, and property to and from the East. That a copy of this resolution be transmitted or presented to his Highness in such wanner as the committee before-named may think proper." On the 27th the deputation waited on him by ap pointment, and were received with much honour and cordiality. The resolution having been formally read and delivered, Mr. Anderson, on behalf of the deputation, ad dressed the Pasha to the following effect : " In presenting to you this resolution, we feel it to be our duty to explain to'you that the sentiments therein expressed are not limited to the great and influential assembly of British merchants and others in London from whom it emanates; lint that the feeling and opinion demonstrated at that meeting now pervade the whole British nation. The questinT.s which have re cei,tly beta raised by the Sublime Yore in reference to the internal administration of Egypt have been publicly discussed, and are now well uwirrstood in England. "It is the general feclim there that to deprive yocr Highness of any psi . . c f that authority which was guaranteed to the Viceroys of Egypt by the treaty of 1841, and which your Highness's pre decessors have exercised without question since that time, would be tantamount to a great public calamity; inasmuch as such interference would be incom patib:e with the efficient government of this country. " That the consequene-s would be to endanger that order and tree qaillisy- which have hitherto been so lesp 'Ally established asd maintained by your Highness's ill u strious predecessor and yourself; that the protection and security to person and property in Egypt could 110 longer ba depended upon; that the social and industrial improvement of Egypt, so energetically and judi ciously promoted be , your Highne , ss, would be greatly impaired, if not altogether destroyed; that Egypt would soon fall into that state of political and social disorganization now so unhappily ex hibited in other pro7inees of the 03011111 U Empire, where neither person nor property i 5 secure; and that the great highway to India, China, &c., so vitally essential to the political, commercial, and social interests of our country, andof Europe in general, would he jeopardiz . d by any re laxation of tho powersposlesied by your Highness for en forcing duo subordination among the Arab population in Egypt, more especially for csn:rolling the Bedeuin tribes w ho inhabit the desert between Cairo and Sin z. The former predatory habits of tbsse tribes are well known, and stay remembered; and thsir present obedience, and e security.of travel now enjoyed, are attributable to the igoroua measures of; our lies' o us grand.iire, Mehemet Ali, and y et ,„ ( s d.

To the address he returned a reply, of / which the following is a translation :- 6. Gentlemen, —I have read with great satisfaction the resolution passed at a public meeting in the London, which y ou have this da y p res ented to me.'! ofl feel highly flattered by the sympathy expressed on that occasion in favour of the metssures I have adopted for improving the social condition of the people intrusted to my government. " It is also gratifying to me to find that the steps I h ave taken for facilitating the transit of the mails and p as . scngers through Egypt have met with the approbation of so distinguished and influential a body as the merchant s of the city of London. Those facilities will, I trust, in a short time be greatly imprcved by the construction of a railroad between Alexandria and Cairo. " Some delay hers taken place in the commencement of this great work, consequent on the unfortunate and much to be lamented differences which have arisen be tween the Sublime Porte and myself as to the inter pretation of certain articles of the firman of inves. attic°. These, howeve r , I trust in God, will soon be removed. First, because I have every confidence in the justice of the Sultan; secondly, because I claim nothing be yond those powers which it must have been the inten tion of the framers of the finnan to grant when the heriditary government of Egypt was ceded to my grandfather, Mehemet Ali, and his successors, and deprived of which good government becomes impossible. " Tell the gentlemen who have so kindly and so ener getically expressed the interest they take in the welfare of Egypt that, in resisting all encroachments on the rights of myself and family, I have but one object in view—to maintain public order as the only mean s of de veloping the resources and promoting the happiness of thappeop!e it has plowed God to place under my rule. "Acting upon this principle, I feel strong in the sup port of thy, British m.:tion, confident that the community of interksts which exists between Esg i and and Egypt, when Properly understood, must inevitably tend to the anvantage of both countries." IRON FOR FIRR-PROOF CONSTUCTION. — Let the brains be puzzled to eternity, no scheme will be devised to render buildings thoroughly safe, except excluding combus tible materials from their formation; that is, metal trust be substituted for wood, and that metal must be iron. Let a handsome prize be offered, open to all the world, for the best ess ay " On the most advantageous mode of apPlYU'll iron to render edifices completely fire-proof.' In the present de pressed state of the trade, it would not be iii-timed if the ironmasters of the kingdom were to subsaribe for such au object, thus combining attention to their own own interests with benevolence towards their species. Wool -el benefit would result from such a m o d e of bui l. amely, the equable heating of each apartment. Many a stately pile has been converted into cinders by the unskilful direction of fees, or by overheating of them ; but in a fire-proof house they may be entrusted with impunity to the superintendence of the most dull. Were such buildings once to become the fashion, the world would be astonished how it could have ree mined so long in the wood.—The Builder. Toasty, JAN. 14.—Wind S.W.--Sld. Fetterosirn S. 1 1 Rehm% and Cope of 0 0 0 d 110 Pes , THE SUN, HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK• (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The official report states that in the week ending last Saturday, the number of deaths registered in the metro politan districts was 1,111. In the ten corresponding weeks of 1842-51, the average number of deaths was 1,138, and if this be raised by a certain amount, in proportion to increase of population, it becomes 1,252. Compared with the corrected average, last week's return of mortality shows a decrease of 141. Diseases of the epidemic class exhibit on the whole nearly the same number of deaths in the present return as in that of the preceding week; and under particular heads no important difference is observed, with the ex ception of scarlatina, which has declined from 41 to 26. Last week the number of fatal cases caused by small-pox was 32, of which 27 occurred among children; 23 by measles, 42 by hooping-cough, 8 by croup, 2 by thrush, 18 by diarrhoea, 1 by dysentery, 2 by cholera, 3 by influenza, 2 by infantile fever, 45 by typhus, 4 by puerperal fever (besides 4 oth e r cases of women dying after childbirth), 3 by rheumatic fever, 2 of infants by syphilis. The number of deaths ascribed to erysipelas rose from 7in the previous week to 15 in the last. It appears from the returns of previous weeks that much of the mortality by scarlatina occurred in the district of S•epney, where it seems to have prevailed more than in other parts of London; in the week ending December 27, it was fatal there iu 5 cases, and the week following in 10. In Shere(iitch the same epidemic cud typhus have committed considerable ravage, while Whitechapel ai l s ,. has been visited by typhus and other fever. Last week the deaths ascribed to diseases of the respiratory organs amounted to 249, while the corrected average is 294. In ten corresponding weeks of 1842-51 the mortality from this class ranged from 183 to 429. Three persons died last week of laryngitis, 121 of bronchitis, 7 of pleurisy, 86 of pneumonia, and 25 of asthma. Of the 32 cases in which small-pox was fatal I it is stated in six that vaccination had been previously performed. The following deaths were registered at the Small-pox Hospital:—A female servant, aged 24, from Upper George-street, Edgeware-road, died on 29th De cember of "small-pox, confluent (15 days), unmodified." She was vaccinated when young at Upper Slaughter, Gloucestershire; one very small cicatrix scarcely per ceptible. A female servant, aged 18 years, from Bar rington-road, Brixton, died on 2nd January of " small pox, confluent (13 days), unprotected." A female servant, aged 25 years, from Barrington Villas, Brixton, died on sth January of " small-pox, confluent (16 days), unprotected." Mr. Watts, the registrar, observes that " small-pox is prevailing at this time in almost every part of London. During the month of December exaatly 100 patients were admitted to the Small-pox Hospital." In Lambeth, Waterloo- road (first part), at 1, Webber-street, the son of a labourer, aged 5 years, died on 4th January of " small-pox (10 days), not vaccinated." Mr. Mears mentioned that the mother of the child declared to him her want of faith in vaccination, as she had known several instances of death after it. In Lambeth, Water loo-road (second part), at 24, Pear-tree -street, on 7th January, the son of a painter and glazier, aged 5 years, died of "small pox." Mr. Dews states that "two other childred in the family caught the disease. Their mother believed that all three bad been effectually vaccinated, but the medical attendant, a much better authority, was of a different opinion. Two deaths occurred from cholera in the week, of which the following are the particulars:—On the Bth of January, at 34, Frances -street, Westminster-road, the son of a labourer, aged three years, died of " cholera (21 hours)." The informant stated that the deceased had suffered from diarrheas and vomiting, with disco loration of the body, but unaccompanied with cramp, and that the house was well drained and ventilated in other respects. Mr. Dews adds, " Frances -street is very thickly inhabited, chiefly by the Irish, and suffered most severely during the time of cholera." In the workhouse, Wapping, on the 6th January, the daughter cf a French painter, aged four months, died of "cholera infantum (5 days)." The two following cases occurred at Shorediteh work house:— On riOth of December, a female unknown, aged about 80 years, died of " natural decay." She was found wandering in the streets near the City-road by the police on the 27th of December, when she was unable to give any account of herself, and on being asked her name the sounds she attempted to utter were almost in articulate. On Ist January, a printer, aged 21 years, died of "catalepsy." Mr. Bowring states that " deceased was brought in from the House of Correction o u 26 t h No vember last, on which day his term of 14 days' solitary confinement expired. When received into the work house his appearance vwasthat of a statue. It seems i proper to ask whether t is probable that solitary con finement actieg on the nervous system could produce so great a change in so short a period." Mr. Butterfield, registrar of the sisb-district, Islington East, states that 213 deaths, the whole number registered by him since October, 1851, occurred at the following saes:-100 under 5 years, 88 above that age and not exceeding 70 years, 16 at 70 and not exceeding 80, and nine at more advanced ages. The analysis shows the great waste of infantme life. Amongst the deaths recorded last week it particularly deserves notice that four are returned as caused by car buncle. A master shoemaker, aged 69 years, died in Little George-street, Somers-town, on 31st December, of "carbuncle after an illness of two months;" a man, aged 68 years, died at 10, Queen's-terrace, Marylebone, on 6th January, of "carbuncle (two weeks);" in the Lunatic Asylum, Camberwell-house, a man, aged 62 years, dioi on the 9th January of "carbuncle (10 days), epilepsy (6 days);" and on 9th January, at 10, Chapel place, Bermordsey, a gentleman, aged 68 years, of "carbuncle (3 weeks), valvular disease of the heart (same months)." It will be obierved that the above per-ons were all males, and nearly of the same age. Tne death of a boy, aged 10 years, is eceribed to sEca rich's. Three persons are numbered as victims of in temperance. Four children died from want of breast milk. The deaths of 8 persons, all children except one, are registered as the result of malformation. In two instances it was malformation of the palate. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING THE PAST WEEK. SUNDAY.—The sky was generally one-fourth part covered with cloud til' sh. P.M., and clear afterwards.

ARCHBISHOP TENISON'S LIBRA . RY. DI SCOVERY OF' AN ETHIOPIC MS. •F ST. JOHN S GOSPL.—As our readers are aware, this library has recently claimed a l arge share of public attention; and its importance at the West end of Louden is now more appreciated by thoee for whom it was de s i gne d an d lit erar y m en, who now can obtain ready access to its s t ores , an d en j o y gr eater facilities for study than formerly. Amongst the rewards of the present curator's exertions, the discovery of the is. version of St. John's Gospel, mentioned above, is not the least. Till recently its existence was unknown, and Mr. Hale's first care was to have it putts ord er , so f ar as i ts decaye d con diti o n allowed. This has been very s kilf u ll y d one by Mr. Gough, of the Bri tish Museum. It is prob a bly o f t h e t we lfth or thirteenth century, and it is said to vary from the received version. It is a small volume, abo u t s i x i nches by five. At presen t it s history is not known. W e are glad to hear that severa l donations in money and books .have recently been received. Amongst the benefactors we noticed Miss Burdett Coutts, the Bishop of. London, the P rovost and Fellows of Trinity C o ll e ge, Dublin, the Record Commissioners, and several of the London publishers. We are very glad t o ' be able to give so satisfactory a report of an institution in which, for its ob ject's liose, we confess ourselves to be much interested. LONDON, THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. Yesterday the establishment of Mr. Horn, machinist and millwright, High-street, Whitechapel, was added to the list of engineering establishments previously closed in the metropolis. It appears, according to the statement of the workmen, that Mr. Horn, on Satur day last, having previously given notice of his inten tion to close on that day, with other members of the Employers' Association, agreed to accede to the pro positions put forward by the Amalgamated Society, and it was settled, in consequence, that work should go forward as usual on the following Monday. The men accordingly repaired to the shop on Monday, and continued at work until yesterday morning, when some dissatisfaction was expressed by Mr. Horn, owing to the fact of his compliance with the demands of the workmen having been made public. The men urged that it was necessary on their part to commu nicate the circumstance to the public in order to stand fair with their fellow-workmen ; adding that they were prepared to turn out if Mr. Horn felt in clined to draw back from his engagement, and after some further discussion they left in a body, and the establishment was forthwith closed. Yesterday Mr. Allan, secretary to the Amalgamated Society, learned by letter from the secretary of the Oldham district that, in addition to the firm of Hib bert and Pletts, that of Lees and Barnes had also completely closed, while Savill and Co. had dis charged all but their millwrights. Three other es tablishments in the town, viz., Garrett's, Seddales, and Jamieson's, still remain open. A letter from the Manchester secretary announced that one shop in that city, the name of which, how ever, was not given, had already acceded to the terms of the society, so that the men had returned to their work. The Executive Council of the society held an ad journed sitting last night, at the offices, 25, Little Alie-street, Whitechapel, to make arrangements for the support of the men thrown out of employment, and the transaction of other business connected with the strike. Mr. ALLAN stated, for the information of the council, that several workmen, discharged on Satur day night by Mr. Jackson, of Leman-street, White chapel, had during the day applied to him to be pro vided with tools, they having obtained a variety of jobs in outdoor work, formerly executed by their employer, and which would find the entire number of hands discharged from the shop employment for a considerable time to come. He had afforded them all the aid in his power. The council then proceeded to the consideration of the means by which support could be best provided for the workmen thrown out of employment; and amongst other means it was decided that an appeal should be made to the workmen still remaining em ployed, in the following terms : " Amalgamated Society of Engineers. " The Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society have come to the following resolOtion, which they hope every member of the society will see the necessity . of complying with, as in the important contest now going on everything depends on the support afforded. " We do not anticipate that the subscriptions will be long required ; for if the men do not return to work on the terms requested by the society, a few weeks will serve to place them in employment for themselves. " Resolved—That the Executive Council request every member of the Amalgamated Society to subscribe one day's wages every week until they receive further in structions. _ " In order that the above resolutions may be fully carried into effect, each branch or district committee is instructed to immediately organise the most effectual system of collecting subscriptions in their respective localities. " Jos. MIISTO, President. " War. ALLAN, Gen. Secretary. " General Office, 25, Little Alie-street, London, Jan. 14, 1852. " N.B. It is expected that all persona engaged in the iron trades will subscribe." It is understood that a day's wages has been fixed upon as the weekly contribution, instead of a fixed sum of money, in order to preseve the same per cent age upon the workman's earnings ; the wages varying in the different districts from 365. to 245. per week, and even lower. _ _ The proceedings terminated by the appointment of receiving-houses for public contributions towards the general relief fund. Last week circulars were issued by the Society of Moulders, requesting information from the various branches as to the number of hands belonging to th e trade thrown out o f wor k by the strike. We under stand that returns have been received from 50 out of 62 branches of which the society is composed, and that the number of bands discharged throughout the country falls considerably short of the number for merly anticipated. In London, however, such is not the case, the number expected to be discharged having been 187, and the number actually returned about 170. The following returns of the number of mon thrown out of work were received at a late hour last night at the different metropolitan branches of the Amalga mated Society No. of Mon be longing to Branch. ... 220 ... 155 . ... 91 No. of Men discharged.

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY. -At Manchester things remain stationary. The masters held a meet ing on Tuesday afternoon, to receive the deputation sent to London on its return, but they did nothing beyond expressing a determination to continue their present attitude. The men of Messrs. Oram, of Sal ford, a small firm, were called in yesterday morning ; and the turn -outs aver that they know of other mas ters who are about to give way. There is to be an aggregate meeting in Carpenters' Hall to-night, and another in the Working Man's Hall, at Oldham. In the account of the firms that have turned out, J. Ellis and Co., should be Elce and Cottam. Yesterday the Masters' Committee issued the fol lowing circular : " Str,—At a very numerous meeting of this committee, to confer with a deputation from the Manchester em• ployers on ulterior proceedings, held this day, it was unanimously resolved that the various firms should make a point of immediately ceasing to work their engi nes entirely, until ot h er i nstruct i ons were issued by this committee. "I was directed specially to request a return from every member of the association of the date at which his establishment was closed; and I now take the liberty of soliciting from you a statement on this subject in course of post, to be laid before the committee at their next meeting. "I beg leave to enclose a copy of a notice which it is propscd to publish in every factory. Should you de sire to have more copies, they may be procured on ap plication at this office. " I am also further to request that you will forward to this committee a statement of the rules and conditions on which, in your opinion, your establishment should recommence working. " I remain, Sir, your faithful servant, " SIDNEY SMITII, Secretary. " Central Association of Employers of Opera rative Engineers, 30, Bucklersbury, London, Jac. 13, 1852. " P.S. It is scarcely necessary to observe that the current proceedings of the Amalgamated Society prove tncir determination to crush the rightful authority of masters over their establishments, and that unanimity aad firmness are indispensable to the security and pro tection of employers and well-disposed workmen.

C . S mith, at that time a fellow of St. P eter's-college.

The candlesticks are in an ex cellent of pres er v a tion, and not at all the worse for being buried such a length of time.— Cambridge Chronicle. MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about par (according to the new tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives a exchange of 25.17; and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.35, it follows that gold is about 0.71 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from llamburgh the price of gold is 427 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce tor standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.6 ; and the exchange at liamburgh on London at short being 13.71, it follows that gold is 0.70 per cent. dearer in Londoa than in klamburgh. -- The high Sheriff of Lancashire for the present year is to be Mr, 11 9 u1 4 , 1 Weld Dlglldell, a Roman COWL. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 14. (Sittings in Bunco.) ROT HSCHILD V. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM •PACKET COMPANY. The ATTORNEY. GBNERAL --- UOved for a rule in this case, pursuant to leave reserved at the trial, to enter the verdict for the plaintiff. The CUM' BARON said he remembered well that the points reserved were of great importance—of such importance that he directed that they should be argued before this Court, and that the judgment of the Court should be considered as his ruling at Nisi Prius, so that it should be open to either side to take the case to a court of error by a bill of exceptions. The rule should, therefore, be granted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL would merely state so much of the facts of the case as would enable the other members of the court to see the grounds of his motion. The action was brought against the defen dants as carriers to recover the value of a box of golddust, which was delivered to the defendants for conveyance to the Bank of England on account of the plaintiff. It appeared that 11 boxes of golddust were delivered at Chagres by the agent of the plaintiff to the agent of the defendants, and the practice was for the defendants to take charge of goods of this descrip tion at Panama, on the western coast of the Isthmus, they undertaking the conveyance the whole distance from Panama to the Bank of England, and taking on themselves the whole risk of the carriage by land and sea, with the exception only of loss by " the Queen's enemies, pirates, robbers, fire, accidents from machi nery, boilers, and steam, dangers of the seas, roads, and rivers, of whatever nature or kind soever." The pleas of the defendants alleged that they were pre vented from delivering the gold by the act of robbers, and also by the dangers of the roads. The mode in which the loss arose was this :-11 boxes of golddust, belonging to the plaintiff, formed part of a cargo of 280 boxes of golddust put on board at Cbagres. The whole cargo was safely landed at Southampton. The course of dealing between the railway company and the mail-packet company was this—the railway com pany furnished the defendants with trucks for the purpose of conveying the gold to London, and the latter packed the waggons and sent them to London under the custody and care of their own servants. These 11 boxes formed part of a load of 46 boxes of gold for conveyance to London. On the arrival of the train at London it was discovered that three boxes were missing, one of which belonged to the plaintiff, and was the subject of the action. The two others belonged to other persons. There was no doubt that the three boxes were abstracted by theft, It appeared that on the night when the loss occurred the train stopped ten minutes at the Winchester sta tion, and shortly after it had left a man was seen coming from the station with two bags evidently con taining something heavy—in all probability the stolen boxes, as they were about the size of ladies' small workboxes, and were, of course, very heavy, and on the next day a boy going along a garden near the station found a box hidden under a bush, which turned out to be a box of golddust, and a man was soon afterwards found looking about the bushes appa rently in search of something hidden. He was arrested, and afterwards convicted of receiving. H e had been probably sent there by the thief for the pur pose of finding the box which he had hidden. It also turned out that the waggons in which they then sent those boxes were waggons in which a man might easily hide himself, and into or out of which he might easily climb, and that the servants of the company, instead of riding in those waggons, rode in first-class carriages, and on this occasion amused themselves on the platform while the train waited at the station. On these facts it was obvious that the boxes were stolen at that station, and the jury found that the defendants had not exhibited due care and caution, and were guilty of negligence. There were three questions for the Court. First, whether this came within the ex ception by robbery,— Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You say stealing by secrecy is not robbery ? They must make out that they were overwhelmed by force. _ _ The CHIEF BARON—Oa that you are clearly enti tied to a rule. The ATTORNEY GENERAL—The second questio❑ is, whether it came within the exception of " dangers of the roads." Mr. thron ALDERSON—This is not a danger of the roads. The very collocation of the words, " dangers of the seas, roads, and rivers," shows that the class of dangers meant were of the same kind. If the road along which these boxes had been brought ran by the side of a precipice, and the box fell down the precipice by an accident caused by the state of the road and was destroyed, that would be a danger of the roads. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The third question is, whether, supposing the Court should be against me on tho two preceding questions, the exceptions will protect the carriers against a loss which arose not ex clusively from the excepted contingency, but partly also from their own negligence.—Rule granted. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jan. 14. (13 fore Dr. LUSIIINGTON.) TIIE EUEOPA,—DAMAGE. It will be in the recollection of our readers that in 1849 the Europa steamer came into collision with the barque Charles Bartlett, in consequence cf which the latter vessel sank, and a large number of lives were lost. Proceedings were instituted against the Europa in this court, and at the hearing she was condemned in the damage. Against that de cision 'an appeal was prosecuted to the Judicial Committee, who affirmed the judgment of the Court below. The QUEEN'S ADVOCITE now applied to the Court on behalf of the owners of part of the cargo on board the Charles Bartlett, and also on behalf of the representatives of three of the persons who lost their lives, and prayed the Court to pronounce for claims formerly made by them, but which it was arranged should stand over until the decision of the Judicial Committee on the original question was given. The COURT granted the prayer. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 14. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLROvD.) IN RE EDWARD JONES. The bankrupt was a woollen-draper, of No. 157, Strand. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Linklater appeared for the assignees; Mr. Lawrence for the bankrupt. The bankrupt's account commenced November 1, 1849, with a capital of 2,3271,, and closed with debts, 2,6161.; liabilities, 7,0171. The assets are, good debts, 1,961/. ; doubtful, 676/.; bad, 843/.; bills receivable, bad, 1,6461; other property, about 160/. Mr. LINKLATER, for the assignees, said that neither they nor any creditor had a single objection to make. One of the assignees was a creditor for 1,000/. Mr. LAWRANCE urged that the bankrupt was en titled to a certificate of the first class. He had had a loss of 3,6001. by discounting the bills of Messrs. Williams and Rast, booksellers. His HONOUR said that the bankrupt had not kept his cash-book properly, and there would have been no further reason for complaint if he had made it pub lickly known that he was a bill discounter as well as a tailor. By not doing so, bills to the amount of 7,0171. were proveable against the estate, which ought to be divisible among the trade creditors. The assignee might not, perhaps, complain, because he had adopted the same course as the bankrupt. On the above ground the certificate (second class) would be sus pended for three months. Protection was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Cromwell, who stated himself to be a com mercial traveller and commission agent, was brought before Alderman Wilson under the following cir cumstances. Mr James Bowen, collector to Mr. Charles H. Bowen, of No. 101, Fenchurch-street, wine merchant, said—About the 18th of November tbe prisoner called at our offices, got four samples of wine, and ordered some other goods to be sent to a captain living in the neighbourhood of the Caledonian-road, Islington. Upon inquiring after the captain we found that we should act wisely in not leaving the goods, and we acted upon the advice we received in the vicinity. We then sent to inquire after the prisoner, but found that the address he had given was that of a solicitor, who complained that a great deal of trouble and an noyance was occasioned by calls from parties inquir ing after the prisoner, and that the fellow was not known there at all. The prisoner had promised to having been the next morning, but he never came, and been given to understand that many tradespeople were likely to be victimised by him, I gave him into custody when I met him this morning in the street, being convinced that he was a swindler. Alderman WiLsoil—What did he say when he asked you to supply him with the samples ? Witness —He said he was going to the captain of whom he spoke, and to others whom he thought the wine might suit, and that he would call again the next day and give the orders, or pay for the samples. The prisoner—The captain is a gentleman of first rate respectability, and is the owner of twelve or fourteen houses. I told this person, not that I wanted tbe wine for the captain but for some public-houses ; and I accordingly called at the houses and spent my money in them in trying to sell the wines, but could not; and when he saw me in the street he collared me ' as if I had robbed him. Alderman WILSON—Why did you not go to him next day with the samples P Prisoner (hesitating)— Why, I was not well—oh, it was because I had not succeeded in selling. Alderman WILS7M—Do you mean that ono tasted and another tasted until the samples were all gone, and you did not think you were bound to go back ? Prisoner—Just the case. I could not bring the samples back, of course. . Mr' C. H. Bowen) _the principal of the house in Penchurela-street, said—l do not wish to press the soner's house.

I know it'a on the left-band side.—(Great laughter.) Witness—He told us he never did business except upon boas' fide orders, and that he could sell more wine than any other man in London, between the day of his visit and Christmas. Prisoner—And so I could, but this will interfere with it. Alderman WILSON—That certainly is very proba ble, if you ever had any power of the kind. I shall not let you go' till I know something more about you. Can you name any gentleman who can prove you are as respectable as you say you are ? The prisoner said there was a gentleman whose offices were in Moorgate•street, and who could satisfy the Alderman as to his integrity and respon sibility. The policeman into whose custody the prisoner had been given went to the address of the party re ferred to, and upon his return said to the Alderman— " I saw the gentleman, and he states that be knew the prisoner about ten years ago, but had missed him since until about a month ago, when the prisoner called upon him, complained of great distress, and got from him 3/. ls., which had never been re turned." Alderman WlLsoN—That is rather an unfavour able character from your referee. Prisoner—That's all because I have not :paid him the 21. 12s.—(Laughter.)

Well, I don't re collect. Alderman WrLsoN—l can assure you it is true. I have it down in the "Trade Society's Protection List" before me. Prisoner—l do assure you that I was never before a magistrate in my life before this day. The owner of the house No. 21, Barnsbury• road, which the prisoner stated was his former address, at tended the justice-room, and said he had never seen the man before that moment, and never had had a tenant or lodger named Henry Cromwell or Henry Wilson. Alderman WILSON--I shall remand the prisoner till Friday next, and I dare say some person will volunteer to give him a character. In the meantime I shall accept good bail for his appearance on that day in two housekeepers' sureties of 401. each, and his own in 801. Prisoner—l don't suppose I can get that. lam willing to givo my own security for 1001. The prisoner was then remanded till Friday. Alderman WILSON requested that the press would acknowledge the Lord Mayor's receipt of 5/. from "A.

Mrs. Bonnet was here recalled. Mr. BROUGHTON-When the prisoner told you 011 , Saturday th a t it was a ll r i ght, did be say a woe ' about a bill which he had against your husband for any other business which he had done for him ? ness—He did not. Sergeant Rafter, 346 A—This morning I te 43l ' the prisoner into custody, at his house in Paddingtoe' street. I told him that I wanted him for ember zling money received by him for Mr. Moore, wbe li t he said, " I th oug ht it was a b out that affair that you wanted me." I then conveyed him to rhE station-house. On the way thither he asked me l I had a warrant, and on my t e lli ng hi m that I 133 a not, he said he thought it was not a case for me to 1 0. terfcre in. Mr. Cooper here begged to observe that the pr i ' sonar was still on the rolls, a n d f or many years bile taken out his certificate; he, however, had not Ot one now, but he could nevertheless still practise 1 " various matters appertaining to the profession. t Mr. BROUGHTON —He can't practi se h ere withou t a certificate. Mr. Fell—You know, Mr. Cooper, that Mr. Loa some time ago r e f use d t o h ear Mr. Grange upon en objection being made, when he attended here on be° half of a prisoner whom he was engaged to d e fend. Mr. Cooper, in the course of many observatio n° which he made for the defence, admitted that the money was paid t o th e prisoner, alleging at th e 0 0 " time that money was owing to him for former see' vices done by hi m f or M r. Bonnet, and that therefor e he (prisoner) had a right to retain any paper d °' papers until h e was pa id all that was due to him. Pe (prisoner) had never said that he had paid the mosey' but had simply s t a t e d t h at " all was settled," which might imply that h e h a d no i n t ent i on o f retaining t he r e sum, but that h e m i g ht h ave seen the officer of the court with wh om h e had come t o au arrangement I°i, settling with him for payment being made in the course of a few days. Mr. Cooper could look uP°l the affair in no other light than that of a breach ° trust. He would not attempt to deny that the money ought to be paid in, and speedily, and if that Wer e done he thought that, under the circumstances, 130tbi 0 more should be required of prisoner, who had a d e. mand for former services upon the prosecutor. Mr. 13aouGuTox characterised the case as be' one in which the public generally were deeply °. terested. The prisoner had received money for 1 specific object, which object had not been carried oil!! and he (the Magistrate) was not quite sure that P i r r i. soner had n o t, un d er the 7th and Bth George I " c. 29, sec. 49, rendered himself amenable t o trans; , portation for n o t more t h an fourteen nor less r hea seven years.

Alderman WILSON was glad to hear that the charge was not a general one. MAR YLEBONE. Mr. Broughton was occupied for a considerable time in the investigation of a charge of embezzle ment preferred against a person who for some years past has attended as an advocate at this and other police courts. The caw, in consequence of certain exposures which have recently been made with re gard to malpractices in the legal profession, excited some interest. The name of the accused is Richard Grange, and his residence is N 0.62, Paddington-street. Mr. William Cooper, solicitor, attended for the pri soner. The first witness examined was Rose Adelaide Bonnet, who said—l am the wife of Louis Bonnet, who holds a situation as clerk at Somerset-house. I live at 3, Queen Charlotte-buildings, New-road. I have known the prisoner for a long while, and hehas done business for us as a solicitor. Mr. BitouGuToN—Did he represent himself to be a lawyer? Witness—Yes, sir; and he was employed in that capacity. Mr. BROUGHTON—Now tell me the particulars re lating to this charge of embezzlement, for whi c h th e prisoner is brought here. Witness—My husband owed Mr. Moore, landlord of the Duke of York, St. John's-wood-terrace, 51. 2s. 5d., for which he was summoned to the county court, and an order wss made upon him for 6/. 33. 11d., including Is. is. 6d. the costs of the suit. Mr. BROUGHTON—When was your husband sum moned ? Witness—About two months ago. Mr. BROUGHTON—How soon after the order was it that any conversation took place?

Mr. BROUGHTON—When did you speak to the pri soner upon the subject? Witness—ln the early part of December, my husband being laid up at that period, I told prisoner to do all he could to gain a little time, and he came back and informed me Mr. Moore would wait a fortnight. At the end of that time my husband went to prisoner, saying that he hid some money ready, and that if ke would call he would give it to him. He did call, and I gave him 3/. 3s. 6d., telling him to pay that to Mr. Moore in part of the debt. He assured me that he would pay it, and bring back the order (the county-court paper, which had been given to him), to show that he had done as di rected.
