ITALY. ilan Gazette of the 20th inst. publishes the fp• notification :-- Royal Sardinian Government does not permit Anatrian steamers, employed in carrying passengers and .merchandise on Lake Maggiore, to approach and anchor along the Piedmontese coast. The proposi tions made to that effect by the Imperial Govern pent were rejected because it was alleged the Sardinian SUamboat Company might be injured thereby. The law of reciprocity obliges the Austrian Government to lippress immediately the favour hitherto granted the `firdinian steamers to anchor along the Lombard coast. In future, the Sardinian steamers on Lake Maggiore shall al ways keen at a distance from said coast of at least 200 lards, and shall not be permitted to communicate with e Lombard territory by means of any species of boats intended to convey ashore passengers or merchandise, and vice versa from the land to the vessels. This enact ment is made known to the public, in compliance with the ordinance of Marshal Radetzky, Civil and Military Go vernor of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, dated the 12th inst., and its provisions shall be immediately carried into effect. __ _ (Signed) " The Imperial and Royal Lieutenant, " STRASOLDO. " Milan, Jan. 19, 1852." The Opinione of Tutin, after publishing the notifi cation of M. Strasoldo, relative to the navigation on "Lake .Maggiore, adds : "We have only two observations to make on that document, namely :—lst. That Redetzky waited, before he adopted a decision, until the treaty of commerce with Austria should have passed the Chamber of Deputies. The adoption took place on the 10th inst. It was known so Milan on the 11th, and on the following day Rade;zky, to remove all doubt as to his intentions, enacted the measure in question. .2d. That there is a great difference between the Austrian and Sardinian steamers. The first are provided with guns, and resemble more steamers for war than for the conveyance of passengers, whilst tho others are not armed and cannot excite any apprehension or suspicion. Thus the Sardinian Government, by pro hibitiog the anchorage of Austrian steamers, is justified by the international laws. The resolution of Marshal Radetzky, on the contrary, is a mere provocation, not likely, however, to intimidate us." The Piedmontese Gazette contains the follawing en the same subject "The Government of his Sardinian Majesty is not aware that any difficulty has arisen with regard to the anchorage of steamers employed in conveying passengers and merchandise on Lake Maggiore. The notification only refers to war steamers. Nevertheless, the Govern ment intends to adopt measures calculated to reconcile common intereste." ADMIRAL OMMICINEY. Why did . net Admiral Ommanney issue orders that a steamer should be dispatched to the scene of the Anaazea'a diameter the instant the intelligence reached Plymouth ? Here is the Admiral's explanation :—" Mr. Vincent acknowledges to have landed at one o'clock, a.m., from She Marsden, and probably left by the exprose train at ten. During the nine hours neither himself, nor did any other person, agent or otherwise, come near me to furnish me with any information ; therefore I was in total ignorance of what had occtirred, except from what I had heard from the general rumour." So during a portion of the nine hours young Vincent and the other persons who had been saved by the Marsden remained en Plymouth, Admiral Ommanney was aware from imhlic,rumour of what had occurred. Why did he not act? Because no one had made an application to him for assistance. Admiral Ommanney is in some respects like the Spanish King who suffered himself to be suffo cated in . his chair of state rather than that any but the proper •offiepr should meddle with the fire. The Royal pa lent, however, devoted himself, Lot others at the shrine of etiquette—Admiral Ominsuney con tented liLcself with a vicarious sacrifice. During theme nine hours, even if the euse-ptibilities of the great chief . .- . Cain' of the naval hierarchy at Plymouth had been in some degree irritated, surely, w'nere human life was in question, something might have been done. We won't talk about Ma'aomet and the mountain, but surely, if Ilr. Vincent did not come to Admiral Ommanney, Ad- miral Ommanney might have sent for Mr. Vincent. He might have rebuked or maatheaded the young gentleman, and have done precisely what his own humour dictated and his dignity required, if he had extracted from him the particulars of the disaster and dispatched a steamer to the scene of action. Was it a time to play the Sir Anthony Absolute when the bouts of the ill•starred Amazon were, or might be, floating about helplessly on the great waves of the Atlantic ? The trans action, forsooth, must be reported to the Admiral in due form before he could act. To such keep ing are the western waters of this island intrusted! Were a French fleet to heave in sight, would Admiral Ommanney consent to take formal notice of the fact before the officer in command had reported him self at the Admiralty-house as " safely landed from Cherbourg with guns and military stores?" We cannot admit the Admiral's plea as any palliation of his neglect. The Amason was lost; he knew it by general rumour; he did not send aid because no formal application had been made to him by the survivors. N'? what was Admiral Ommanney about a ll this time? Why, he was grumbling and gossiping with Captain Kennedy, of the Coast Guard, ~ who brought some vague account." No attempt was made by the peevish old seaman to arrive at the truth of the facts. He waited and waited he and his friend Captain Ken nedy—"_ until some d person should h a ve come who would have a ff orded ussiatance had it informat;on, end have solicited the certain been benefit required."

SlB, — The public will feel indebt e d to you for drawing attention to the cases of oppression that are now enacting frequently, under the authority of the above Act. I trust you will favour me with space in your valuable columns for a few remarks to draw attention to the character and wor ki ng o f th e sa id Act of Par liament. After the war very many loose characters were thrown out of employment, and vagrancy be came a national evil. To remedy this state of things, the Parliament o f 1815 p asse d the first " Vagrant Act," under th e aus pi ces o f th a t bitter foe to liberty, Lord Castlereagh, whose very name ought to make every man of character hesitate before he acquiesces in any measure having its origin in such a source. That Parliament covered itself with disgrace by passing such a law ; for it has all the character of an Algerine act, and might well be thought to have originated among the bureaux of Austrian police, instead of from an assembly of English gentlemen, professing to hold every man as innoce nt until he he found guilty ; for its whole drift is to punish upon bare suspicion, and that not of feeling, but of a new fangled crime, called "Vagrancy." The Act of June 21, 1824, repealed that Act, but re-enacted all its ty rannical and odious provisions; and, bearing on the face of it cruelty and oppression, stands still the law of England, that fancied lartd of freedom, where it is said that every offender is entitled to be tried by a jury of his peers, which saying is beyond dispute, w hile this Act exists, a falsehood, " a delusion, and a snare." Under the above Act, not only magistrates, but the lowest fellow in the police, may enter any Englishman's "castle," as he fancies his house to be, and without a sum mons , an d w ith ou t a warran t, an d on his own bare au th or it y , may h au l hi m t o a cour t o f justice, where he may be at once committed to hard labour as a " rogue and vagabond," for three calendar months ! In va i n may h e as k t o b e t r i e d b y a j ur y ; in vain may he h o pe t o be all ow ed to see his friends, or his lawyer. " No, " he will be told, "the pri son r egu lati ons do not per mit this indulgence but once in three months." And if he be not well versed and learned in the law, and aware of the fact that he cannot appeal against " such act or determination" of the justice, if he allow seven days to elapse (and the prison regulations ac tually prohibit him from seeing a lawyer), then must be undergo the full sentence of three month s' con finement and hard labour, either at that vile instru ment of torture the treadmill, or by solitaryi mpr i sonment in a cold and dreary cell, compelled to pick out a given quantity of oakum every day, and for bidden to raise his voice even in a hymn to his Crea tor, under penalty of three days' incarceration in an underground dungeon or dark hole called a refrac tory cell. Mr. Proctor was actually threatened with this punishment for merely humming a few bars of " Religion never was designed to make our plea sure less." But who, Sir, are the wicked and bad men that are liable to these things ? The third section says, " Every petty chapman or pedler wandering abroad, and trading, without being duly licensed," may be committed to the House of Correction for one month, and every person who shall " beg or gather alms." True, the blessed Jesus said, " Give to every one that asketh of thee." But this Castlereagh law, this worse than Turkish Act of Parliament, says, " nay, but give to everyone that asketh of thee one month's hard labour at the treadmill." But the 4th clause goes further—it declares that every person " lodging in the open air," though he be destitute of the means to procure a lodging, " shall be deemed a rogue and vagabond," and he may be kept to hard labour for three calendar months. This is consistent enough, for if we punish for asking alms, we should of course punish for being destitute. Yet if we do this, let us not be guilty of the mockery of calling ourselves after Him who rebuked his disciples for forbidding the destitute to ask of Him. The Act creates a number of other offences ; and then authorises o an y person" to a pp re h en d " any person," and charge him or her with being an idle and disorderly person, or a rogue and vagabond, or an incorrigible rogue, and to take the persons so ap prehended and their " goods" before a justice ; and their " bundles, parcels, packages," &e., may be in spected, and their money taken, and their goods sold, to defray their expenses at the House of Correction, &c. So that an entirely destitute person can be punished in person only, but a man having property is to be punished in his purse also. And this plan of seizing property is largely acted on, for even a man's private library has been stripped, and his books, globes, nautical almanacs, mathematical instrument., &c., seized, and never seen by him again. Yet, in the days of " Wilkes and liberty," it was made the law of the land that books and papers should not be liable to be seized except for high treason. Alas! it is easy, by such an Act as this vile Vagrant Act, to annul and repeal all the liberties of Englishmen ; and so say the magistrates, " goods " means books and papers; and a fig for Wilkes, and a fig for liberty, and hurrah for the Vagraut Act, and the summary jurisdiction of the Solona who sit upon the bench of justices ! And Heaven knows, Sir, they have reason to rejoice, for they have power, where any person " resists" a peace officer, or shall be twice convicted to commit him until the quarter sessions, and then he may be kept for one whole year at hard labour and in solitary confinement, and may also be " whipped," at the discretion of the said justices ! And all this with out any trial by jury ! Sweet liberty is this ! " But, oh !" will say the stickler for magisterial power, "the Act is only applied to vagrants, bad characters, &c., and, therefore, cannot do much harm." And some folk really think so, and conclude that as vagrants are usually poor and do not vote for Members of Parliament, we may safely treat Liberty as a nonen tity when she appears in their persons. Ido not agree with this doctrine ; but the objection is not true, for magistrates make a custom of sending spies into peoples' houses to induce them to break this law, and then pounce upon them, drag them from their homes, and sanction the police in despoiling them of their property, and then thrust them into a solitary cell, there to be kept to hard labour and undergo all the refinements of modern prison discipline, alias cruelty, such as wearing a mask and being subject to perpe tual silence. And this conduct has been recently brought by memorial before Sir George Grey, which notable Whig lover of liberty sanctions it, and de clares that he will not interfere. And the Recorder of Bath lays it down as law, that the magistrates are in duty bouud to send into an English gentleman's house "to see what he is about It seems high time, therefore, that the public take up the case, and call on the Legislature to pare the claws of these magisterial dons by amending the Vagrant Act. And I trust that those of your readers who think so will send short petitions to the House of Commons, for that House pays no attention to long ones. Any person may write such a petition en a sheet of fools cap and send it to any Member to present. But this, to be effectual, should be done by the time Parliament meets.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., R. J. MORRISON. ORIGIN_4L ANECDOTE OF THE HORSE. (From Kidd's London Journal.) The horse has puzzled us more, individually, than any other animal; and though we cannot fairly assort that we believe him to be gifted with "reason," we yet readily allow that Providence has placed him in the highest scale of animal excellence. If we were to relate one-twentieth part of what we have seen to admire in connexion with the instinct of the horse, we should ex ceed all bounds. Well do we remember, when a mere boy, forming a strong attachment to a handsome grey mare, rejoicing in the name of " Peggy."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. you do me the favour of inserting the enclosed letter ? I cannot expect you to be respon• sible for my opinions, for many will neither under stand nor approve them—Yours, &c., DALETH. TO THE MASTERS WHO HAVE STRUCK. Gentlemen—lt is not unusual when two persons or parties are differing, for a disinterested observer to think them both wrong, and that neither has feund out "the more excellent way." Whether in the strike that is now threatening so much inconvenience and suffering, the workmen be right or wrong, it is not the object of this letter to exa mine or assert ' • but I write to pronounce that you, the educated and the prosperous, who ought to set an ex ample in " all good things " to the uneducated and the needy, are pursuing a course unworthy of your high position, and that cannot be justified by any principles or rules that should influence and guide an enlightened Christian community; and such I suppose you consider yourselves to be. But moral right and religious duty, and manly bearing are so little understood in a world where conventional usages, and commercial maxims, and interested objects get interwoven with them , that men, like yourselves, take up with notions, and follow out a course of conduct (as you are now doing) that are as contrary to truth and to every injunction of Jesus, whom they profess to follow, as murder or theft is contrary to Moses and the Decalogue. Gentlemen, you may be sur prised at what I am about positively, but calmly, to contend for ; but hear me. If the 12,000 men whom you have turned upon the world to starve, be cause they will not comply with your commercial notions, were to seize your mills and deprive you of your property, you would condemn them as , doing what was wrong, and very justly refer to the Divine law by Moses, " thou shall not steal." But do you not know, and is it not worthy of your deep consideration, that you are equally guilty in the course you are pursuing towards them ? Is )loses every. thing with you, and Jesus nothing Are you to compel your workmen to obey Moses, and they have no call on you to obey Jesus ? Are they to be re stricted by Divine laws, and you only by commer cial maxims ? I repeat, and fear no contradiction, that the men would be guilty of no more sin in burn ing your mills than you are in depriving them of the bread they could earn ; and in the midst of the conflagration it would be as much a Christian-like shout of triumph, " Go to, now, ye rich men, weep and howl, for your miseries are come upon you," as it is Christian-like in you to shut them from your doors, and with scornful lip sit down and drink the cup of luxury. I say, are the commands of Jesus and the Apostles to be nothing to you ? Is the injunction, " See that ye render to no man evil for evil, but overcome evil with good," to be no direction for you ? Are you to do " what you like with your own," and resist the Divine corn mend of "Look not every man on his own things, but every man to the good of others ?" Will you declare that this world's goods are absolutely your own, though you are cautioned to act as stewards only, and reminded that " you brought nothing into this world and can take nothing out ?" Are you to receive the smiles and approval of men, though Heaven has de clared that " he who seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion, in him dwelleth not the love of God ?" In short, will you remain callous to those awful words, " Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least ofithese my brethren, ye did it not to me; depart from me F' But perhaps, gentlemen, you reject religion alto gether as your guide, and neither expect your men nor intend that yourselves should be directed or re stricted by its injunctions. On what grounds or principles, then, do you justify your conduct that would not equally justify them in laying hold of your possessions. Does your having the power to turn them from their earnings, and your power to live without their labour, justify you ? If so, if they have the power to seize on your property, and thus possess the power of doing without you, are they not m s you rest r your c , o a n n d d u c t t h a o t n t t h i s e grounds egually j th u a st t ifi y e o d ur ? : unjust to deprive you of your own, is not their ability to labour their own, is not the opportunity which the demands of the world give for their labour their own, and are you not equally unjust and become robbers in depriving them of their opportunities and powers? And add to which, your own consideration, that you can live without them, but that they must starve without you, and do you not stand before the whole world as by far the greatest sinners, adding in justice and obstinacy to the guilt of inhumanity! Have you never considered that they have possessions n s well as you, and that you rob them of the power and opportunity they possess of supplying the demands of the world and of earning their bread ? I have not touched, gentlemen, on the abstruse subject of rights, privileges, and corresponding duties, which might be a more literary mode of ex posing your errors; but I have chosen thus to lay bare your direct duties and position irrespective of the rights and wrongs of others. Nevertheless, if we were to examine your conduct as to rights it would he easy to show that you can trace no right to do as you are doing to any higher source than power, and which is a kind of right you would be sorry to see y0ur,12,000 men using in right earnest. Gentlemen, let it no longer be said with the force of divine truth, "Do not rich men oppress you ?" Let your mode ration be known unto all, and trample the silly pride that now leads you to obstinacy in the very dust. Yours obediently, DALETH. Cheltenham, Jan. 24 , 1852. A STRANGE SERMON BY A ROMANIST PRIEST. (From a Correspondent of the Clare Journal) I made a visit to the far-famed west last week, and having heard that Mr. Meehan, P.P. of Carigaholt, was to harangue the people at the chapel of Cross, on Sun day last, I accordingly waited, and obtained a place amongst the crowd. I send you the following brief outline of his sermon, which may serve as a specimen of the manner in which the poor people of the west are instructed by this agitating priest, and how landlords are held up to execration, and the plainest truths per verted and facts misrepresented, to work upon the minds of the deluded but well-disposed people. Father Meehan is making a last and dying struggle to stop the Ppirit of inquiry. It is evidently preying upon his system; so that body and mind seem " ill at ease." Tne western breez, is becoming too sharp, and is under mining a constitution which was once hardy and vigorous. Mr. Daushy appears well calculated to bat tle the storm. Mr. Meehan then took his text from the 2d chapter of St. John. He said the Saviour and his virgin Mother were at a wedding, and that, notwithstanding what Pro testants might say, they were at every Roman Catholic wedding, where the parties were previously prepared by confession and communion. He then said the lords and agents of the soil were busily engaged all the week amongst them; but that any person who sent his child to Mr. Keane's school, or any other like it, ought to be kicked out of the parish. He observed that he would not curse them until he got an account of the children's names, and then he would let them see what he could and would do. He then called on Mr. Keane's spies to listen to what he was saying, and asserted that Mr. Keane's object was to make Protestants of their children, as he did of the schoolmaster (" Croobeen"). Ho told them Lord Palmerston was a souper, and was kicked out of office; that Louis Napoleon had immortalised his name by working a complete revolution in France in two hours and a half, and had sent an army to assist the Pope, who had no army of his own to guard him ; and further, that Louis Napoleon appeared to be an instrument in the hand of God, and might yet free Ireland ; and that the time was fast ap proaching when England might want the Irish people to fill the army and navy. He next exhorted them to resist landlords and agents for twelve months, and not let an inch of their right go with them; that, for his own part, he was afraid of no man. They all recollected how he attacked the preachers on the road when they came to abuse their holy religion. He (Mr. Meehan) warned them not to sell their souls, or their children's souls, to the devil. He knew a woman in Kilrush who sold her children to a sweep for seven years for a geinea, and afterwards got sorry, and died in a short time of a broken heart. This woman was a Catholic. He, therefore, warned the mothers who sold their chil dren to Mr.:Keane, for work or bog, to take timely warn ing. " Croobeen " and oth e r s lik e hi m , h a d s ome chance, as they knew the road back—but the children were lost for ever, and went the direct ro a d t o d am nation, from w hat they learned at the soupers' school. He next ex horted them to say the Litany of the Virgin Mary as long as the schools continued, and that he would never cease his efforts until they were put down. He con cluded by urging them all to pray to the Virgin Mary, and never cease calling on her to put down the soupers. Such was the sermon I heard, the text being the marr riage of Cans.

During the reign of the great Ak bar, whose tomb near Agra has lately been repaired, though wine was forbidden, et it was evidently used i n this the 1 . noblest city of his em y ire. It is related that A kbar, stand ing in need o f good gunners,got them from on beard Eng lish vessels trading to his dominions. One of these, who, 1 from the d ry character of the man, was evidently a tar, be am ordered to fire a t a carpet his peror might see : x e de t rity purposely shot wide of it. li e was reproved, andtold that ' he was an impostor. Upon which the fellow answered, w ith great pretended humility , I that his si g ht was bad from having been debarred the use of wine, but if Akbar ordered him a cup, he would hit a smaller mark. A cup, a full quart, w as brought him, which h e ln I drunk off, an d then tir' 4 g hit the mark, to the applaus e of all pre s ent.

GRATIFYING C FOTGNE.—A poor old CHANGE or etts, who f 0 R cooper of (-Merton, -N r veveril years !ices de- scrvedly earned his bread by t he sweat of his brow, has, we are informed, by a late decision of the Court of Chancery, been declared to property entitled to the extent of 30 ,000/, Derby Mercury, LAW INTELLIGENCE, EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Jan. 24. (Before the CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice COLEBIDGE, Mr. Jus tice WIGHTHAN, Mr. Justice CRESCWELL, and Mr. Justice TALFO ORD.) REG. V. POWELL. In this case the prisoner was tried before Mr. Justice Talfourd, at the last assizes at Brecon, upon an indict ment charging him with burglariouslv breaking and entering the dwelli ng -h ouse of David 4 Willianiti, with intent to steal "goods and chattels" therein. And it appeared from the evidence adduced at the trial, that in the year 1843 the prisoner borrowed of the prosecutor the sum of 6001., and executed to him as security a mortgage in fee of certain freehold land. And after wards in the year 1848 he borrowed a further sum of 2001., and executed a further mortgage upon the same land; subsequently the prosecutor, the mortgagee, brought an action of debt against the prisoner for the recovery of sums which he had lent, which action was impending, and approaching trial, when the burglary was committed. The evidence proved that the prisoner committed the burglary in order to steal the mortgage securities, and the jury found that the offence was com mitted with intent to steal the mortgage deeds. In a bundle with the first deed which had been kept in a drawer ransacked on the night of the burglary was a cancelled bond of a former mortgage belonging to Williams, the mortgagee, and which was also afterwards kept with both mortgage deeds; but these were in fact at the office of the mortgagees' attorney when the burglary was committed. At the trial it was objected, on behalf of the prisoner, that the intent was nut properly alleged in the indictment, as, though the mortgage deeds might be the subject of atatutable larceny as " valuable securities," they were not " goods and chattels;" but the Learned Judge overruled the objection, thinking that the mortgage deeds being substantially securities for debts, and containing covenants to pay principal and interest, were distinguishable from deeds which, as sa vouring of realty, were not the subject of larceny at common law, and that the parchments on which the covenants were inscribed were chattels, even if the words " goods and chattels" might not be rejected as sur plusage. The prisoner was then sentenced to be trans ported for ten years; but was ordered to be detained in this country until the opinion of the Court of Error in criminal cases should have been taken upon the point. Mr. SLAVE, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. T. Allen) con tended, on behalf of the prisoner, that the indictment charged him with burglary, with intent to steal " goo d s and chattels," and the jury having found that the intent was to steal certain " mortgage deeds," there was, therefore, a fatal variance between the allegation and the finding, inasmuch as "mortgage deeds," savouring of realty, could not come within the definition of " goods and chattels;" end in support of this argument the Learned Counsel cited a caae from the third insti tutes, to the effect that where charters which savoured of realty were deposited in a box, that bax could not be the subject of larceny by reason of its containing the charters. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Then if a lion were confined in a cage, I suppose the cage would be considered ferce naturce. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas— It has been decided in Gloucestershire that larceny can not be committed of a canary's cage, because it savours of the canary.; Mr. SLADE—The offence alleged in the indictment was a felony, whereas the prisoner had only been guilty of a statuable misdemeanour by the 233 section of the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 29, which makes it a misdemea nour only to steal deeds and writings relating to real estate . No counsel appearing on behalf of the Crown, the Court said they would take time to consider the case. REG. V. WILLIAM lON. This was a case tried at the Central Criminal Court, and reserved by the Recorder of London. The prisoner was indicted for feloniously uttering, disposing of, and putting off a forged receipt for poor rates. It appeared that a man of the name of James Gifford was desirous of borrowing some money from James Dwyer, a money lender, but it being necessary that he should have a security for that purpose, he re ferred Dwyer to the prisoner. Dwyer thereupon called on the prisoner concerning the loan and security, when the latter produced three receipts for poor-rates, one of which was forged, which he placed in Dwyer's hand for the purpose of inspection. The jury by their verdict found the prisoner guilty, and that ho placed the forged recept in the hands of Dwyer for the purpose of vouch ing for his respectability, and of being accepted as se curity, and thus of obtaining the advance of money upon loan to James Gillord, It was objected at the trial on behalf of the prisoner, that the placing of the forged re ceipt in the hands of Rwyer for inspection only, and not for the purpose of obtaining or avoiding the payment of any money, was not a sufficient " uttering" upon which the prisoner could be found guilty. Mr. METCALFE, for the prisoner, contended that the only question in the case arose upon the uttering," for the words " disposing of and putting off " explained themselves, and did not apply to the present circum stances. He admitted that the word "uttering" included an intention to defraud, but it was clear that the pri soner had no such intention, for he did not produce the receipt to absolve himself from any payment, and therefore there was no uttering on the part of the pri soner. In support of this argument he cited Shukard's ease, reported in Russell and Ryan's Reports, page 200, which decided that showing a wan an instrument, the uttering of which would be criminal, though with an intent of raising a false idea in him of the party's substance, was not an " uttering or publishing." Mr. PARRY, fJr the prosecution, contended that " uttering" meant the bodily representing a false docu ment to be a true one, with intent to deceive and de fraud, and that in the present case, in order to obtain a sum of money for another, and to show that ho (the pri soner) was a respectable man, and had a house fur which he paid the rates, and was, therefore, a good security, he represented as genuine a document which was false, and was, therefore, guilty of uttering with intent to deceive and defraud. Mr. METCALFE replied, and the Court said that they would take time to consider their judgm en t, KEG, V. ROGLTEE. The prisoner was tried for perjuryb afore the Recorder of the city of London, upon an indictment which alleged that the defendant had been tenant to one George H ea ley, the prosecutor, of a certain dwelling-house wed premises under a certain rent, and that in the mo nth of June, 1851, the said George Healey had distrained upon the defendant fur a certain arrear of that rent. The perjury assigned was, that the defendant had in substance falsely sworn, amongst other things, at a tall at Nisi Prins (upon which the question was material), that there was only one quarter's rent of the premises duo at the time of the said distress. Upon the trial the prosecutor positively swore to the fact of there being five quarters of the rent due to him at the time of the distress in June, 1851; and in contradiction the de fendant produced his books, by which he refreshed his memory, and proved the last payment of rent to have been for rent due at Christmas, 1849. For the purpose of corroborating his statement, and showing by the oaths of two witnesses the falsity of the matters sworn to by the defendant, John Hoaley, the son of the prosecutor, was examined, and deposed to a conversation with the defendant, in August, 1850, when the defendant admitted that three or four quarters of the rent in question was then due. A receipt from the prosecutor to the defen dant was produced at the trial, purporting to be a re ceipt for the rent to Christmas, 1849. No evidence of payment of rent was given by or on behalf of the de fendant subsequently to August, 1850. At the trial it was urged on behalf of the defendant that the fact of more than one quarter's rent being due at the time of the distress was not sufficiently made to appear by the oaths of two witnesses, for the case to bo left to the jury; that John Healey's statement as to the admission of the defendant wont no further than to establish the fact that in August, 1850, rent was due, but did not confirm the prosecutor in his statement of the five quarters' rent being unpaid at the time of the distress, or in explana tion of the error in the receipt. The Learned Records!. overruled the objection, hnt reserved the point for the consideration of the Court of Appeal. Mr. O'BRiEN, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that the evidence of John Healey, the prosecutor's son, respecting the conversation with the defendant in June, 1850, was not corroborative of the evidence of the pro secutor respecting the state of accounts between him and the defendant, and that when a person was charged with the offence of perjury it was not enough to dis prove what he had sworn by the oath of one other wit ness, but that unless there were two oaths, or some docu mentary evidence, or some admission, or some circum stances to supply the place of a second witness, it was not sufficient. (Reg. v. Parker, Carrington and Marsh man Reports, 646). It was also essential in perjury that the evidence in corroboration should have relation to the fact upon which perjury was assigned, which was wanting in the present case. sufficient bfyorevt i h d e e p n r c o e se th cu a t t i o o n n e , u4gthedivtahsa. moret it was a to s what extent the amount of corroborative evidence and was be relied on than the other, and that it did vniodtensf went, as as that was a question to bo left to the j not for the Judge to decide. any general rule upon of opinion case they were The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE Said that t he Court did not think it necessary to lay dow n the subject, but in the present that the conviction was wrong , as there was not sigh- corrob ora tive support the charge of evidence to cleat perjury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, tt ORSIIIP- SI KELT. Frederick Powell, a tali, athletic nit.chanic, was charged with the manslai,ghter of an elderly man, named Thomas Man field, a publican, residing somewhere in the neigh bourhood of Milton-street, Cripplegate. This prisoner was originally brought up on Saturday week, when he was simply charged with being drunk and riotous, and then it appeared, from the e 'd ... ,Itt once of the only witness present at the occurr enc e, that thea few d c - ceawed had gone out tor the purpi ise of purcLasing nuts for a squirrel, whi:th he packed u in a . handker chief, and way I , : tailing home through hW Finsbury, when he heard a shouting noise blel6lZthreimet, yo an e d xa in s: and, on turning round to ascertain the h jeering prisoner staggering about in a state or i ll Ut e i -- /x of ic i r t ii s o a n w , f C i l e - I o vs . e d by a psuerltaitnegdhaitmihis annoyance that he ttlrnedbescuadmdeenstl round and made a dash aft t r hit little perm , enabled them t o get b eyond his reac e l- an uters' d whozo ,:. c ',i * i ty from his vexati on an d d run kenness, the Pri soner, make any discrimination, immediate! bei'lg unable to turned unfortunate deceased, who was wi'd Y upon the watching the proceedings, s 4 and ' 1 • I to be standing still Gea,t him such a violent blow upon the head that he ea 1,1; i,;,,,,. ij i y upon tile edge of thgege,red a short distance, being rais e d u p by the bystanders,7.erfc'7l°4°, arl , I, Pc' it was discovered that he could no t s t an d, an d was suffering excruciating agony in one of his legs. The deceased was immediately placed in a cab and conveyed to §t. Dartholomew'a 110Pitalt where his thigh was pronounced to be fractured, and the. prisoner was rem an d e d t o awa it t h e resu l t o f t h e in juries the man had sustained. A constable of the G division who was now in attend ance stated, that the object of the prisoner's viol , nce, after lingering in acute pain far a considerable time, had at length expired in the hospital, and that upon a coro ner's jury being called to inquire into the case they had returned a verdict against the prisoner of " Man slaughter." The constable, in answer to a question from the magistrate, added that the surgeon who had been in attendance upon the deceased had been com pelled to leave town. and that several days must elapse before he would be able to appear and give evidence. When called upon for his answer to the charge the prisoner said that he was an entire stranger in Loudon, having only just come up from the count r y, an d that he had drunk so much upon the night in question that he had not the slightest recollection of an , thing that had taken place ; he felt satisfied, however, that he must have been uncontrolably exasperated to strike the de ceased in the manner alleged, for which he was ex tremely sorry, and it was evident ho bad b een most shamefully treated himself, as he had several injuries and contusions on different parts of his person, The MAGISTRATE intimated that the formal proof of the cause of the death of the deceased was indispensable, and the prisoner was therefore remanded until that day week to enable the surgeon to attend and give it. MONDAY CLE . RKEN WELL. Ann White, a miserable, dissipated-looking young woman, was put at the bar before Mr. Tyrw•hitt far final examination on the charge of having murdered her infant child, of the age of nine months. On the first examination of the accused it appeared that she had resided in the house of Mr. Hathaway, Field's-place, Somers-town, with her two children, one seven years old and the deceased; that they were fre quently left by her without food, fire, or clothes, and otherwise so utterly neglected that her landlord event u -54 deemed it his duty to call in a constable, with whose assistance the poor sufferers were removed to St. Pancras workhouse, and she was shortly afterwards found rolling about drunk and taken into custody. The deceased and the other child were speedily examined by Mr. Robin son, the parochial surgeon, who Lund them sinking rapidly from the combined want of food and general neglect; that they were in a state almost impossible to describe, and swarming with vermin. Everything which humanity could dictate was immediately bestowed on the little helpless creatures, but death happily terminated the sufferings of the one and the other is recovering. The board of St. Pancras, on the former inquiries, had declined to prosecute, and were se verely censured by the worthy magistrate, who said that, in a matter of such atroci:y, importance, and nicety, a meanness ought not to exist, especially with a parochial body, and he wished theca to review their decision. Oa Saturday it appeared the parish officers bad profited by the recommendation of the worthy ma gistrate, as Mr. Seton, clerk to the vestry, appeared as the public prosecutor, and called another witness, who proved almost unheard of brutality by the accused to wards her poor children. Mr. TYAWHITT, at the conclusion of the examination, said it was a most sad and pain! ul case, and committed the prisoner to Newgate to take her trial, she declining to make any defence. LAMBETH. John Donovan, a journey-man bootmaker, who has been in custody for several weeks on a charge of stabbing a young man named George Cox in different parts of his body, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final examination. The prosecutor, who bad been brought from St. Tho mas's Hospital, where ho had remained for several days without the slightest hopes of his recovery, and who, though now pronounced out of clanger, is in an exceed ingly weak state, deposed as follows:—I live at No. 1, Charles-place, Union-street, Lambeth-walk, and am a shoemaker by trade. The prisoner lodged with us for three weeks, up to the 3d of January inst., and on the morning of that day, a little before five, I was awoke by his stabbing me with a knife. I slept in the same bed with him, and when I was awoke by his stabbing me I struggled with him, and managed to throw him off, and I then got out of the bed. The prisoner followed and stabbed at mo with the knife which he held in his hand. He inflicted several wounds on me, and cut me under the right and left ear, and on my cheek, and many other places. Mr. ELLIOTT—Did the prisoner say anything before he attacked you, and while inflicting these serious in juries upon your person? Witness—Not a word, sir; I was asleep when he first attacked inc, and on awaking I cried out " Murder!" several times, but he did not say a word. _ _ _ George Thomas Cox, father of the last witness, said that about half-past five o'clock on the morning before mentioned he was awoke by the cries of" Mu r d er !" and on going to the bottom of the stairs he saw his son who cried out, " Father, ho is killing me!" The p r i s o ner at this time was coming down the stairs after him with a knife in his right hand and a candlestick and ca n dl e i n his left. The prisoner exclaimed, "He has been annoy ing me ever since I have been in the house;" and then rushed out of the front door. He (witness) f o ll owe d him and gave him into the custody of a poli ceinan. Policeman Denis Donovan, 48 L, said, w h en the - pri soner was given into his charge he as k e d h i m why he stabbed the young man with a knif e , an d h e rep li e d. " Because I had nothing else to d e f en d myself with; I had neither gun nor pistol, and I was obliged to fly to an edged weapon. The witness hero produced two knives, one of which he found on the prisoner, and the other in the room, covered with blood. The priEoner, whose mind is evidently affected, and who offered nothing in defence, was fully committed ft,r trial. Thomas Rose, a clerk to the South-Western Railway Company, wns fully committed for trial on a charge of falsifying his accounts and embezzling the moneys of the company. SOUTHWARK. Launcelot Hawkins and Elizabeth Watson were brought up for final examination charged with uttering a half-crown counterfeit piece, at the Black Horse, High-street, Borough, and at the Catharine Wheel, Queen-street. Mr. COMBE committed the male prisoner for trial, and discharged the woman. THE COUNT : LIVERPOOL, JAN. 24.--Ti s. d , e. d RI( MARKETS. market is very firm to-day. d.

Oatmeal has likewise moved off steadily at rates not previously obtainable. The arrivals at Liverpool and Runcorn consist of tolerably fair quan tities of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, and from abroad of a good supply of wheat and beans, fair of flour, but only moderate of Indian corn. At our market this morning wheat advanced 2d to 3d per 701 b. Flour was held firmly at an advance of is to is 6d per sack and is per barrel, at which amendment sales to a mode rate extent were effected. There was a good demand for oats at an advance of Id per 451 b.; and oatmeal must likewise be noted the turn dearer.

The business passing in foreign wheat haft not been extensive, but holders aro firm, and demand higher prices, which as yet, we believe, they have only partially succeeded in obtaining. We do LO% therefore, alter our quotations of laA week. Prime barley, grind ing as well as malting, is scarce, and prices tend up ward. We have a (remand for oats hem the Channel, but on the spot we have no business pseing in the article, the value of which is as lest noted. We con tinue to experience a steady consumptive bale for flour, at an improvement of fully 6d per cwt over late prices. Coarse flour also meets a very ready sale at full rates. For Indian-corn a speculative inquiry exists, and some sales have been made at an advance of 2e 6d to 5s per ton over our quotations of last week. We believe this improvement is owing mainly to the tact that, in London at present the value of floating cargoes is actually higher than that of corn here; the purchasers of cargoes afloat having also the risk of sea damage which the buyers of store corn here is exempt from.
