MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales. There was no particular alteration in the mar ket. Railway Shares had a downward tendency. There Was an absence of demand, and lower prices were sub mitted to. The markets for produce and manufactures suffer Materially by the political agitation being so industriously fomented; and there are very unfavourable accounts from Manchester and other places. The suspension of Birley, Corrie, and Co., is confirmed, and Mr .Bauer, of Man chester and Amsterdam, has suspended, but whether only temporarily remains to be seen, as a period of three weeks has been allowed for the purpose of his agent in England communicating with him. It is most unfor tunate that at this time, when we have abundance of money, low prices for staples, and many other advan tages, that confidence should be shaken by the senseless proceedings of disloyal men. The West India accounts are satisfactory in regard to the weather, but nothing more. The following are some particulars of an important branch of trade:— "Iron—ln Welch and Staffordshire (although the unsettled state of Continental affairs has lessened the amount of current business) the price has not been so materially affected as might have been ant icipated, several of the makers being well supplied with orders previously taken. Makers of rails;shew no disposition to reduce prices. "Scotch :pig iron has however declined very much, partly owing to the expectation that considerable quan tities bought during the winter, and intended fur ship ment during the spring and summer to Germany, may be thrown upon the market for resale, and partly to the circumstances that some large holders have been selling their stocks. Considerable business was done from 48s per ten down to 425, cash for all No. 1, and in some instances for inferior brands 40s per ton was ac cepted. The market has again rallied to about 41s to 425 mixed Nos., and 42s to 43s per ton all No. 1. " These prices have drawn the attention of speculators and consumers to the article, as they are under the cost of production, while the stock of Scotch pig iron is much smaller than for several years past, and the makers who are supplied with orders are not sellers at current rates. " Spelter has sustained a very heavy fall in price. Political events in France, which country is one of the largest consumers of the article, have entirely destroyed the usual demand from that quarter for Silesian and Belgian Speller, nearly the whole of which is conse quently expected to find its way to this market. Busi ness is said to have been done so low as 121. lOs. per ton on the spot, and 121. per ton for arrival, but since the sale of a large parcel at 131. 10s. per ten the market his assumed a somewhat firmer aspect. The low price has caused the English makers to blow out their furnaces, and as it is under the cost of production on the Conti nent, the attention of speculators has been turned to wards it." The revenue accounts are of so satisfactory a charac ter, under circumstances, that they afforded a topic for cheerful conversation among the City men, but political events seem to have stifled the importance of every other consideration, though we hope only temporarily. The English Securities have been very heavy, and there is a further material decline. The resumption of transfers, after the closing of the books during the dividend calculations, has brought forward sellers, and Consols are aff ec t e d lik ew i se . Th ere are repor t s a l so as'to intended delivery of Stock by large holders ; but, of course, during a period of uneasiness, the speculators for a fall are very active. Consols have been 80i to 801 for present Transfer, and the same for Account. Exche -suer-bills continue to advance, money being placed 111' them for want of any other medium. The Premium has been 40s. to 445. Bank Stock has been worth 1831 to 186. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 801 to 791. Foreign Stocks are all lower. anish ive er Cents have been 9i to 10, and the Thr ee per Ce F nts., p 17 ito Mexican Bonds are 141 to 14k. Dutch Tweeand-a-Hall per Cents. have been 34i.

The UNDEn-SHERIFF said such evidence could not be received, unless the knowledge of the ar ticle in the Morning Post could be brought home to the knowledge of the plaintiff; and, in the first place, it would be necessary to call witnesses to prove that the Morning Post was printed and published the day it bore date. The defendant said if he could not compare both ar ticles, the greater part of his defence would fall to the ground. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said he was always disposed to give fis much latitude as possible to de fendants who appeared in person, but he could not by the rules of the Court, and in justice to other suitors, admit evidence irregularly. The defendant then applied for an adjournment, hut The UNDER-SHERIFF said he did not think there could be any doubt, after the admission of defendant in the letter put in. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. 13% 66 1 A 294 7i CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. Mr. Justice ERLE took his seat on the bench at ten o'clock. PORT TALBOT, APRIL 3.—Sld.

FORGERY.—Thomas Schule, aged 22, a German, was indicted for forging an endorsement to a bill of exchange for 1001, on the 18th of January last, with the intention of defrauding Messrs. Rothschild and Co., the eminent commercial firm. Mr. BODKIN stated the case against the prisoner. Ho said the circumstances were of the most extraordinary kind, and displayed an amount of ingenuity rarely equalled. It appeared that in 1846, a young man named Lawrence Weaver, a German, was sent by his father to England for the purpose of pushing his fortune, and on the understanding that if he should succeed in estab lishing himself in any eligible occupation, that he should remit him money to assist him, he being entitled to about 300/. He happened to take up his abode in the same house as the prisoner, in Goodman's. fields, and, in con sequence an intimacy sprung up between them, which subsisted after he left the house. The prisoner was well conversant with his affairs. Lawrence Weaver shortly after left this country for America, a fact which was well known to the prisoner, who, it appeared, then set him self to work to concoct a scheme by which he might obtain money from the father of Weaver. He entered ,into a correspondence with him in the name of his son, stated that he saw an eligible opening in the wine trade, that he was about to be mar ried to, a person possessing some property, and ulti mately requested a sum of money from the old German, who at once remitted a bill at three na, nths' sight, pay able at the house of Messrs. Rothschild, the name of his supposed son being endorsed upon it. Ho accompanied the enclosure with his blessing. The Bill was endorsed and paid in due course. Shortly after Weaver's father heard that his son had died in one of the American colonies, a statement which, of course, threw the whole family into dismay. Soon after an application was made to the father for a further remittance, with a re quest that the bill might be made payable at sight, and not like the last, at three months. By the advice of Messrs. Rothschild the money was forwarded, and when the prisoner presented himself he wes told there was some irregularity in the bill. He seemed surprised, said his name was Lawrence Weaver, and that he had the letter of his father enclosing the bill to him in his pos session, and, in the presence of several of the clerks, he endorsed that name upon the back of the bill. He was then taken into custody. At his lodgings the letters of Hosnagel, the father-in-law of Weaver, were found, together with other papers. hundred persons sworn in, amongst the number were the whole of the men servants in the establishment of Baron Parke. FREE TRADE CLUB. The first annual dinner of the members of this club took place last night at the club, 14, St. James's square. Mr. Cobden, M.P., took the chair, and was supported by Mr. Bright, M.P., Dr. Bowring, M.P., the Hon. H. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. John Brooks, Dr. Reid, Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. Bennoch, and about 160 members of the club and their friends. The CHAIRMAN, after having proposed the health of the Queen and the Royal Family, which was drank with considerable enthusiasm, proposed the toast of the even ing, "Prosperity to the Free Trade Club." He stated that the club had been formed with the important view of affording a nucleus for the meeting of those gentlemen who coincided in opinion upon the subject of free trade. Like other similar institutions, the club had had to pass through its season of weakness and infancy, but he re joiced that, through the kind nursing of the committee, the "bantling" had passed through all its dangers, and was now fast arriving to lull manhood. The club, from its commencement, had been tolerably well supported. It numbered at present among its members forty-three Members of Parliament, he should be happy to see that number increased to 200 ; if, however, 120 more members could be added to the club, it would then be in a state of complete prosperity. He thought that great objects were to be attained by keeping up their organization at the present time. There were grave errors abroad upon the subject of free trade and political economy. They could not shut their eyes to this fact. The influences of this club he wished to see brought to strengthen the free-trade party in Parlia ment. lie rejoiced at the accession to their strength upon the last election by the return of such men as Colonel Thompson, the man who tau g ht th em a ll t h e i r " Corn-law Catechism ;" as Mr. W. J. F ox , one o f t h e most brilliant the s ate o t oratorshis health, rule, was not then pres en t, an d who, from the same cause, was not so o ft en h ear d in the as y, a n d w h om he regretted, from House of Commons as he should wish ; Mr. Wilson, the able practicaj economist, and others of well-known talent. He trusted that the club would soon be able to present itself to the public as the most prosperous of any in Loudon. Dr. Bownnea proposed " The health of the Chairman," and in so doing said that it had been remarked of the late D. O'Connell, that his power consisted in this incar nation of the Irish people, that if eight millions could have been concentrated in one individual—their wit and their wisdom, their pathos and th e i r p oe t r y, th e i r f un and their folly, their greatness and their littleness, D. O'Connell would have represented them all, and if he (Dr. Bowring) were to take the man who was the representa tive of all the best of those attributes—of the wisest, the sincerest, and the greatest of the English nation, and sent that man forth to represent them to the universal world, Richard Cobden would be the man whom ho should send.—(Loud cheers.) The CII.4.IRMAN having thanked the meeting for the manner in which his health had been drunk, stated that France was literally goin g ma d u pon the subject s o f f ree trade and political economy. The Provisional Govern ment there, were, howev er , pies of Protectionism , only carrying out the princi advocated by a portion of the daily press. They were endeavouring to carry into practice the doctrines of the Protectionists in this coun try, whom he had warned in the House of Commons that if they protected one interest, they must not only protect all interests but must fix the price of labour and the time of labour. This was the attempt made by the Provisional Government of France, and a most pernicious attempt it would prove, and probably one productive of more misery to the mass of the people than even Robespierre had caused. Hetrusted that Louis Blanc and his colleagues might now work out their insane policy as soon as possible upon the elevated platform where they were now per forming their Europe might se e their s i gna l failure, and England experiments, so that all the rest of , be thus spared th e opportunity of repeating the experi ment.—(Cheers.) He had been charged out of the House by some of the newspapers, and in the House by the Hon. Member for Westminster (Sir De L. Evans) with having returned f rom h is visit to the continent boasting that all the world were becoming free traders. So far was this from being the fact that he had always said, " Don't take the men who ftit,ed me as the representa tives of the people whom I visited." Th ose men were now, as the f ree - traders in this country h a d for a long time been, in a minority on this question. Avery interesting fact h a d come to his knowledge in co nnexion with the rt cent revolutions on the Cont i nent . H e f oun d that there w as not a single Provisional G overnmen t or Ministry formed during the recent events in France, Turin, Milan, or Venice, which did not contain among them the names of mrn who sat beside him at those banquets—(Cheers) ; and t h e sa me might be said of those who to o k a prominent part in the recen t ev ents a t Frankfort, H am b urgb, Berlin, K oen i gs b erg , and l)antzic.

Th e press of the w h o le continent, except that of Russia, w as now perfectly free, for they had n o penny stamp, as in E ng l an d , to f et t e r them. There was no doubt that the lat e d epresse d sta te of trade had been some disadvantage t o th e progress of the principles of free-trade, but still s t a t esmen u p o n the :continent would understand what the Protectionists of this country would not, viz., that free-trade had not caused that dullness; that state of things had not been brought about by the importation of a few (more quarters of corn into this country, it had arisen from the potato rot and the scarcity of corn; the repeal of the icorn-laws did not _vi ;the people triumphing.

The case was clearly proved against the prisoner by several witnesses, and the letters, it appeared, were taken in at the:Sun Coffee-house in Long-acre, at the request of the prisoner, and it was proved that the letter containing the cheque in question was taken in at his request, and handed over to him. Translations of the letters were then read. In one addressed to his landlord, from the Giltspur-street Pri. son, the prisoner stated that he had got himself into trouble through incautiously taking a letter to Messrs. Rothschild, in which a cheque was inclosed, for a per. son who did not wish to go himself, and asking him to destroy his papers. The prisoner, in his defence, produced a paper which was read by the clerk. He stated in it that he was the victim of misplaced confidence in a person whom he was unable to produce in Court. That person's name was Sallie, who asked him (the prisoner) to put Weaver's name on the bill, in order that he might trans mit the money to Weaver, who was then in America. He assured the Court that he should not have done so, if he bad believed the person named Schule intended to keep the money; and, further, he besought the mercy of the Court, on the ground that he was innocent, thLt he was a foreigner ignorant of the English law, and unable, in a foreign land, to produce witnesses to his character, on which no stain had ever before been cast. Mr. Justice ERLE summed up ; and the jury, after a brief consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. He was sentenced to be transported for ten years. Mr. BODKIN stated that th e r e was another indictment against the prisoner, for the forgery of the first cheque, which no doubt would have been clearly brought home to him, but the object of the prosecution would be fully satisfied by the conviction on the first. SHERIFFS' COURT. —(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under -Sheriff BURCHELL) 110118 Y v. ROWCROFT. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 191. 14s. 6d., the balance of an account for literary work performed for the defendant. The plaintiff is a gentle man in the legal profession, and the defendant was pro prietor of Hood's Magazine. The claim was for a series of articles furnished to the magazine in 1845 and 1846 under the title of " The Bar of England." , The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. Mr. Harrison, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, proved that he had seen the defendant on several occasions' and the latter admitted that the amount was due, ant he also iuTtructed witness to take out a summons to stay proceedings on payment of the debt and costs. A sum mom was taken out, and left with defendant's solicitors, but it was not returned. The defendant cross-examined the witness, who said that it was probable that he (witness) Chad suggested that the summons should be taken out on defendant stating that he wished for time to pay. (A letter signed by the defendant was put in, acknow ledging the receipt of the first article, and offering six guineas for a sheet of 16 pages.) The witness produced the numbers, and pointed out the articles, intituled " The Bar of England, from the papers of the late J. E. A., Esq." Did not know that they were taken from the papers of the late Mr. Adolphus. The defendant addressed the jury, and said that the plaintiff, when he proposed to supply the articles, said that they wou ld b e written from the papers of the late Mr. Adolphus, and it was only in that belief that he received the paper s an d gave them insertion in the ma gazine, and it was not until after all the articles had been inserted and he had given up the proprietorship of the magazine that he heard they were k not taken from any such papers, and he (defendant) believed they were not original, i or had, at all bii.lied before. He would r ea d an article in nt the Morning Post of the 4th of August, 1845, and then one of the ar ticles ill the magazine in September, 1845, and then NE I} COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman FARNCONB.) George Wm. Rowley, aged 54, a most respectable looking man, described in the calendar as an engineer, was indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, of William Tent, a quantity of wearing apparel, value 4/. 155., and the sum of five shillings, with intent to cheat him thereof. Mr. Wilde was counsel for the prosecutor, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. From the statements of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, it appeared that Mr. Tent (the prosecutor) was a hosier, carrying on business at the Ruyal Ex change, and that on the 18th of December last the pri soner called at his shop ,and purchased hosiery, to the amount of 41. 155., in payment of which he tendered a cheque, drawn by himself on the Western Branch of the Joint Stock Bank, 69, Pall.mall. Mr. Tent demurred to receive the cheque, and giving the five shillings change, but ultimately did so, the prisoner stating that he would give the cheque, if Mr. Tent wished it, for the exact amount. On the cheque being presented for payment it was dishonoured for want of funds. From the state ment of the clerk of the banking-house it appeared that the prisoner's wife, who is a lady of independent pro perty, had a private account at the bank, and that in March, 1847, 1501. was paid in on the prisoner's account, but that sum was exhausted by cheques drawn by the prisoner in a month or two afterwards ; and at the time he drew the cheque in favour of Mr. Tent he had no funds in the bank. After the examination of several witnesses on behalf of the prosecutor, Mr. PARRY addr esse d th e j ury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that he was entitled to an acquittal, inasmuch as having no pass-book with the Bank it was very easy for him to suppose he had so small a sum as 51. in their hands when he had nothing in reality. The RECORDER summed up, and Guile jury, a f ter some consultation, found the prisoner y. There was another indictment against the prisoner, for getting change for another cheque for Si., which was not proceeded with. The RECORDER sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, observing that if he was again convicted of a similar offence he would be certainly transported. A — deputation of the Quadrant Improvement Associa tion, consisting of Messrs. Crane, Moss, Snoxell, and Poulson, and Mr. Newton, Secretary, had an interview with Viscount Morpeth yesterday, at the office of he_ Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in Whitehall-place. Sir William lleathcote and Ltr. Denison had an inter view with the Commissioners of Railways yesterday, at their office in the Board of Trade. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING. ErsoM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. —The entries for the Plate closed at five o'clock this afternoon, and it will be seen from the subjoined outline of the engagements, that a most brilliant day's sport may be anticipated. The number of events to come off will render an early com mencement necessary, the racing will therefore begin at one with the match between Laird-o'• Cockpen and Chat ham; Sir Gilbert Heathcote's Plate will follow, at half past one; at half-past two the Great Metropolitan Handicap will be run, and at half-past three the Two Yrs Old Stakes; the "heats" races will be run at the usual half-hour intervals. That everything may be per fectly en regle, the Newmarket officials, viz, Mr. Clark, judge; Mr. Hibburd, starter; Mr. Manning, clerk of the scales; and Mr. Starling, clerk of the course, have been engaged. The refreshment rooms will be under the di rection of Mr. Lumley, who made so successful a debut last year. It is beyond a doubt that there will be an immense attendance. The directors of the Brighton Railway Company have therefore announced their inten tion to run express trains every half-hour, both before and after the races, and have made arrangements to pre vent the', confusion that occurred on the Derby-day last year. The members of the Subscription. room at Hyde Park corner will be enabled to obtain tickets there this afternoon, and will thereby save themselves a good deal of trouble at the stations. Active preparations are in progress on the course; in fact, nothing has been lost sight of that will contribute to the comfort of the visitors or the convenient transaction of busines3. The running ground, wo can state from personal inspection, it in finer order than has been known for many years. In the following programme we have placed an aste risk before the horses that, have either already arrived, or for whom boxes have been engaged; several of them, including Cracow, are not expected until.this (Thursday) afternoon.

The whole of Stoke's Bay seemed suspended in the air for nearly two hours, and at one time the windmill had increased to three, one above the other, the middle one and the trees and houses being inverted. GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND.-A meeting of the members of this institution, established in 1839, for the granting of annuities to aged and decayed actors, and relief to their widows and orphans, was held yesterday at the saloon of the Lyceum, Mr. Lewis in the chair, when the annual report and financial statement (pre sented to the general meeting of the members on Ash Wednesday) was laid before the subscribers for confir mation. It appeared that the capital invested was 4,014/. 10s. Bd., and in the hands of Mr. Buckstone, the treasurer, 39/. Bs. 10d., making a total of 4,0531. 193. 6d. The receipts during the past year had been 7461. 93.4 d., leaving a balance of 3961. 63. 2d. It was stated that in 1846 four members, of the respective ages of 67, 63, 69. and 58 years, were granted annuities of 251. per annum, and the directors were now happy to inform the sub scribers to the fund, that they had been enabled to add Si. to each annuitant for the year ensuing. The minutes and the annual balauce-sheet having been confirmed, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. General Skrzynecki, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish army in 1835, and since serving as general ot division in the Belgian service, is on the point, it is said, of quitting Brussels to join Prince Czartoryski at Posen, the general rendezvous of the Polish patriots.

The workmen in the turners and painters' depart ments, Woolwich, have been engaged for several days in making:constables' staffs, and work over hours, from six o'clock in the morning until eight P.X. ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE ITALIANA.—The third meeting of the association was held last night at the Western Literary Institution, Leicester-square. The President, Signor Pistrucci, after reading an extract rota an Italian journal on the form ot government which Italy, when free and independent, should adopt, opened the proceedings by informing the meeting that Signor Giglioli, having lett London, it was necessary to elect a vice president in his room, and Signor Fenzi was unanimously chosen to supply the vacancy occasioned by Signor Giglioli's departure. The president then re minded those who heard bim that they met, not for de. clamation, but for business, and he would, therefore, at once lay before the meeting what had been done by . the . special committee during the past week. Twelve inch viduals had been furnished with the means of reaching Paris on their way to Italy, and the sum of 515 francs had been sent to the central society in that city to be distributed among the volunteers, as they arrived, for the prosecution of their journey. It was agreed that an address should be prepared to the Italians resident in England, Scotland, and Ireland, calling upon theta to subscribe for the purpose of sending, if not men, at least, arms to Italy, but tho project of an address to the English was abandoned. The President then read a copy of an address to the inhabitants of Milan, which was adopted by acclamation, and ordered to be trans mitted immediately to the Provisional Government of that city. After the transaction of some routine business, the meeting separated. UNIVERSITY OF LOND ON. — Yesterday a general meeting of the Senate of the University was held at Somerset-house, J. S.

CONTRACT FOR IRELAND.—.OffiCO of United Irish men, Dublin. Wanted, an immediate supply of strong, stout strait-jackets, for a_ number of very daygerous L IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 3.—The Freeman's Journal has a long report on the proceedings at the police office rela tive to the charge of pike making, the whole of which resolves itself into the brief statement, namely, that the purchaser was seen to bring the weapons into the Castle. Mr. Arkins, the prosecutor in the case, applied to the bench for a warrant to search for concealed arms in Dublin Castle, which the magistrate refused. At one o'clock this day, David Hyland, blacksmith, of 16, Charles-street, appeared at this office, on his recoapi zance, to give evidence in the case of Thomas Kirwin, against whom informations were taken by Mr. O'Citle laghan, on Saturday for purchasing pike-heads for an illcgal purpose. All the parties concerned having as sembled, Colonel Browne, Commissioner of Police, who had taken his place on the bench, made the following statement:— Colonel Browne, Commissioner of Police, said he v: fished to offer a few words, which he thought would set the matter at rest. Ho wished to state, in the pre sence of the Bench and gentlemen assembled in the office, that he had received intelligence that pikes were manufactured in different parts of the city, and that he had the names of blacksmiths who were engaged making them, and of persons who watched the pro cess of manufacture. Every man must allow that) it was only his duty to have these inquiries set on foot. With regard to the man Kirwan, against whom in formations were sworn on Saturday, ho had no hesi tation in declaring, that he was one of the persons so employed by him for the purpose he had mentioned. He had been furnished with the names of persons, who, be was informed, were manufacturing pike-heads to a large amount; but as there was nothing in the present state of the law to prevent such doings, he had not inter fered with the parties. In fact, as the law stood, any individual might mske pikes, or have them in Lis posses sion—whether un'o Innately or otheroviee, was freely a matter of opinion. But it was his (Colonel Browne 6) duty, holding the responsible position he did, to make the Government fully acquainted with every thing that was passing in the city of Dublin, and he, therefore, avowed, that he did take steps to make himself acquainted with all the circumstances connected with the manufacture acid sale of pike-heads in the city. In fact, he had in his pos session patterns of every kind of pike which had been hitherto made, and if there was any odium to be attached to any one for these measures, he took it all upon himself. He avowed his conduct openly, and would further observe, that he would continue to procure all the information in his power relative to the manufacture of pikes, to lay it before the Government. Every man of common sense must know that pikes were daily being made in every hole and corner of Dublin. He knew the different places where these proceedings were carried on; he made himself acquainted with all the particulars in his power respecting them, and he felt that in thus acting, he was only fulfilling his duty to Government. Colonel Browne then proceeded to say, that Sergeant Sproule would tell Mr. Curran, that _Kirwan and other persons had been frequently with him (Colonel Browne) in the Castle, and Mr. Curran must allow that he would not be fit to:hold the situation of Commissioner of Police, if he did not endeavour to put the Government in pos session of evertbing of that nature. The prisoner was employed by him to procure six pikes from Hyland. Three of those pikes were then in his possession, and the other three were in the keeping of Mr. T. Atkins. Mr. Arkins said he had not the pikes, but he believed they were in the custody of Inspector Donovan. Colonel Browne was sure that Mr. Arkins had acted from the best of motives, and so far from blaming him, he took all the bl ame an d respons ib ility upon himself.' lie avowed that this man was his employe, that he got information from him, and from others besides, engaged for a like purpose, and he, therefore, called on their worships to dismiss the charge against the prisoner. Mr. Arkins begged to ask Colonel Browne whether a note-book had not been found on the prisoner's person, containing matters calculated to implicate certain young gentlemen, and whether he had not received from the prisoner useful information respecting these parties? _ Colonel Browne said that the prisoner had given him information respecting some young men who had ran away from their fathers. Mr. Arkins thought it was most scandalous to permit such a dangerous character as the prisoner to go to Charles -stre et f or the express purpose to inveigle igno rant peopl e i nto the commission of an act, with the in tention of getti ng them into trouble. Mr. Arkins,then called on th e mag i strates, Messrs. Kelly and O'Calla h to swear Colo ne l B rowne, with respect to the informgall' tion from which h e was led to believe that the citizen a f . Dublin were in dang er on S t. Patrick's day. en o Colonel Browne replied that the prisoner had never given information on the subject. It was not easy to get men to do this sort of dirty work—for dirty work it certainly was—(Laughter)—but it was, nevertheless, necessary to have it d on e, an d h e therefore employed this man to get the pikes made, and to find out what the people were saying about them. After some further proceedings, their worships directed that the prisoner should be discharged. REPEAL A ssoceanoze.—The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held this day, at Concilia tion Hall; Dsniel O'Connell, Esq., in the chair. The attendance was unusually large. The rent for the week was 871. 18s. 11d. MORE TROOPS FOR IRELAND. It is stated to-day that the 57th infantry are to be detached to Beggar's Bush, the Linen-hall, and Ship street 13arracks, in order to make room for a regiment of Guards under orders for Dublin. It is also stated that the Horse Guards Blue are to be located in Dublin, pending the breaking cut of the insurrection, which is to occur, we are told, some time in the present month. Application has been made to the Provost by the Go rernment for accommodation within the wails of the college for a strong military detachment. The Benehers of the Queen's Ines have also been applied to for permission for the military stationed in the Linen-hall to exercise in the grounds attached to the Inns in Henrietta-street. Leinster House is being fitted up for 300 infantry and a strong squadron of cavalry. The 52d Light Infantry and a battalion of the Guards are under orders of readiness for Dublin. The Ist Royals will be moved from Belfast to Dublin. A wing of the 43d Light Infantry is to form part of Dublin garrison. A strong company of Sappers and Miners has arrived from Chatham, and taken up quarters in the barracks at the Linen-hall. WICKLOW ELECTION. The writ for the election of a knight for the county Wicklow arrived this morning. SLIGO ELECTION.—A third candidate for Sligo is put forward in the person of Mr. J. Ball, eldest son of Mi. Justice Ball. The new candidate is at present in Rome, but his interests will be cared for by Mr. R. O'Hara; a very able solicitor, and who is intimately acquainted with parties in Sligo. DUBLIN, APRIL 4.—The extraordinary avowals of the Chief Commissioner of Police yesterday, at Henry. street Police•oflice, relative to his intimacy with'the pike makers, has created no little sensation. People hereto fore dubious of the truth of the rumours about arming are at length convinced that there was some foundation for the statements. DEPARTURE OF MR. JOHN O'CONNELL.--It is ru moured to-day, that Mr. John O'Connell's sudden de parture for England, yesterday morning, was caused by the receipt of important let:ers from London —or, as some have it, dispatches from the Government in refer ence to the state of Ireland. One thing is certain, that Mr. O'Connell was to have moved the Address to the Queen at yesterday's meeting of the Repeal Association, and that in place of so doing —as arranged by the com mittee —the Hon. Gentleman was on the high sea when the address was proposed and carried. ARMING IN THE SOUTH.—The Corh Examiner states, that rifle shooting is now general in Cork. In several outskirts of the city, on Sunday, the sport was indulged in to a very great extent, particularly in the city Park, and the Diamond Quarry in Blackrock. Indeed, in the latter place there could not have been less than fifty young men exclusive of spectators having some twenty rifles between them bla:ing away at a mark, upon which at least, three out of every five shots took effect; the successful marksmen being loudly applauded by the spectators. Nor was the practice in the Park whit less creditable to the riflemen, several groups o whom, admirably equipped and armed, acquitted great d ittedthe e m x. - selves with much eclat by reason of the very firing in file and line, but always w terity exhibited by them, now firingitbsinegxeleyr3. excellent effect. anon r m o d e n u t u e in a t h n e u m s e b r e v r i c o e f , Brigade,_ c se o p elxndeeepedting the Rifle it is questionable if anyuirdegi of their arms than these men more competent in the u four times as numerous, could not shops, were they d and their importation is con athletic young fellows.

DISTRESS IN GALWAY.--- Mr. Maurice O'Connell s tated to-day, at a meeting of the Corporation, that ha had it from indisputable authority that such was the destitution in the district of Galway, that the starving people were driven to devour their own children. MEETING OF T HE CORPORATION .— An adjourned Quarterly Assembly of the Corporation was held this day at the Assembly House, William -street. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., brought forward his motion for an address to the Queen, congratulating hek Majesty on the birth of a Princess, and praying her Majesty to assemble her Irish Parliament in Dublin. The latter portion of the address was opposed by the Conservatives, but, after a long discussion, the original motion was carried by a large majority.
