Tho LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat en the Wool sack at Five o'clock. A great number of spectators were assembled in the galleries and on the steps of the throne to hear the Mi nisterial explanations. Tho Peeresses' gallery was also filled. Tho Government was represented by the Earl of Carlisle, the Marquis of Clanricardo, and Lord Minto. The attendance of Peers was not more numerous than usual. The Duke of Wellington was ono of the earliest arrivals. The Marquis of Lansdowne did not arrive until some time after five eclock. COUNTY COURT EXTENSION BILL. Lord BROUGLIAM said that ho wished to intimate to their Loadships that he had been enabled to frame a clause which would meet all tho difficulties which had been suggested in tho course of the debate the other night. Lord CAMPBELL suggested that the clause should bo printed. MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS. After a pause of some considerable time, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose for the purpose of moving that the order of the day standing tin the paper for Friday next, for the appointment of a Committee for considering the affairs of India, be discharged. In that motion ho believed their Lordships would readily acquiesce, when they heard that the ground upon which he made it was a circumstance which must be known already to all, viz., that her Majesty's present Ministers only held office until their successors were appointed. In making this announcement, he was anxious to make no observation whatever calculated to excite any difference of opinion, or even to provoke any sort of discussion. He should have wished so to abstain under any circumstances, but more especially in the ab sence of a Noble Earl, a very valued friend of his, though a political opponent, from whom he had, within the last few hours, received a communication that he had ac cepted office, and was at present engaged in forming a new Administration.—(Hear, hear.) In that task it was impossible for him to afford him any assistance, and he was sure he should be the last man to create, if it were possible, the slightest shadow of embarrassment to tho formation of the Ministry now being formed, or any other; because they were told that besides that there were concealed in that country many anonymous administrations ready to conduct her Majesty's affairs, but too wise to make themselves known. He had always been of opinion that it was im possible to prolong the existence of a Ministry which had ceased to obtain that support which was neces sary to enable them to conduct the affairs of the country with efficiency, and therefore when the Noble Lord at the head of the Government had communicated to him early on Saturday morning the course which he had taken on the previous evening, he had at once acquiesced in it. Thus much he had to say for the Government, and for himself he had to acquaint them that most probably that would be the last occasion on which he should address them from that bench, though ho should always feel it his duty to take a part in any of the generally im portant questions which were submitted to them. He should conclude by moving that this House at its rising should adjourn until Friday night next. The Earl of MALMESBURY paid a high compli ment to the Noble Marquis who had just sat down, hoping that, whatever position he might hold, their Lordships would always have the benefit of his advice and experience. The motion was agreed to, and their Lordships then adjourned at a few minutes before Six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Feb. 23. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a few minutes before Four o'clock, at which time there was an unusually full attendance of Members. NEW MEMBER. Mr. HEARD took the oaths and his seat for Kinsale, in the room of Mr. Hawes, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. PRIVATE BILLS. The following Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed: — Aberdeen Fire and Life Assurance Company. Ardrossan Railway. Beaconsfield and Red Hill Road. Bedford and Kimbolton Road. Birkenhead Docks. Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway (Abandonment of Part of Line, &c.) Bl ac kburn and Preston Road and Bridge. Bury and Little Bolton Road. Cheshire Constabulary.

Sheffield Waterworks. Southwark and Vauxhall Water Compatiy. Stockport and Marple Road. Stroud and Bisley Road. Universal Emigration and Colonization Company. Worcester and Hereford Railway. SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAILWAY AND RIVER DUN COMPANY. On the motion for the second reading of this Bill, the object of which was to make the Isle of Axholme Ex tension Railway, Lord GALLOWAY opposed the second reading, and called upon the Rouse to throw the Bill out. Tba Bill, he said, was in truth presented by the Great Northern Company, but in order to obtain a❑ undue advantage in Committee, they had substituted the name of the South Yorkshire Company for their own. He moved as a❑ amendment that the. Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. CHRISTOPHER supported the original motion, and denied that this was a Great Northern Bill at all. Sir J. COLEBROOKE thought great injustice would be done if the House refused to send this Bill before a Committee. Mr. 11. BERKELEY said the Bill had been stigma. tised as a jub, but it was no such thing. The Bill was intended to sanction a bond fide scheme that would confer great benefit upon the public, and ho hoped the House would negative the amendment. The Bill was in no way connected with the Great Northern at all. The fact was this Bill was opposed by a gentleman named )(Eines, who wanted to direct the line into such a direction as to take in a mansion and an estate which he wanted to get rid of. Mr. M. MILNES protested against the private affair. of his friends being meddled with by the House. His relative did not want to part with his mansion; far from it, for the mansion and the estate attached to it was settled upon himself and his children, should he over ha►e any—(Roars of laughter)—aud the Milnes family would cling to it until they were driven out by the force of the law.—(Bear, hoar.) After some further discussion the House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... Against it ... . . Majority —lO9 The Bill was consequently thrown out. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. ... 113 ... 222 Mr. SPOONER postponed his motion with regard to the College of Maynooth until after Easter.—(Laughter and cheers.) JOINT-STOCK COMPANY. Mr. MACGREGOR gave notice that he would on an early day ask for leave to introduce a Bill to limit the liability of members of joint;atock companies. LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. Mr. SLANEY gave notice of a motion with regard to an alteration of the law with respect to industrial partnership. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. A return was agreed to of the correspondence which had passed between the Colonial-office and the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE. Mr. HUME asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, after the promise made in the last session to inquire, any stops had been taken for bringing the obe lisk known under the name of Cleopatra's Needle, and which had been presented to George IV. by the late Mohammed Ali, Pacha of Egypt, to England? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it was thought Cleopatra's Needle was not worth the expense of removal to this country. CAPTAIN PENNY. Mr. ANSTEY would postpone his motion respecting Captain Penny until the new Government Iva* formed. — (A laugh.) AUSTRIA.

The entrance of Lord John was a signal for loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers. Lord Palmerston took his seat on the great bench paat the gangway, b1 q....7T-.. 11 9,t pikAnWripg• The noise and confusion in the House until Lord John Russell rose was so great that the Members who took part in the discussion ou private business were scarcely heard in the gallery. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, after the occurrences of last Friday night the House will be prepared for the announcement I have now to make.— (Hear, hear.) At a meeting of her Majesty's servants, on Saturday, wo considered what course it was in cumbent upon us to pursue ; it appeared to us that it was impossible to carry on satisfactorily the business of the Government in this House after the events of the preceding night. We considered the alter native of advising her Majesty to use her prerogative of dissolving the Parliament, but we considered that there were such grave objections to such a course that we ulti mately declined to recommend it to her Majesty. We, therefore, determined to lay our resignation before her Majesty, which I accordingly did in the course of the afternoon.—(Hear, hear.) Her Majesty was graci ously pleased to accept our resignation, and has since sent for my Lord Derby, who is understood to have undertaken the task of forming a Government.—(Cheers.) We therefore merely hold office until our successors aro appointed.—(Dear, hear.) Sir, after this statement I do not wish to recur to the various events which have taken place since the commencement of the session, and which will, no doubt, form the subject of debate hereafter.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I cannot conclude what I have to say on this occasion without expressing my sincere thanks to those who have supported the Govern ment, and who, during upwards of five years, have enabled the Government to carry out measures of groat public importance.—(Cheers.) Having their confidence, and having had the advantage of their support, I have been enabled during that period so to conduct the affairs of the country, that wo are now enabled to leave the public business, both as respects the foreign and domestic relations, in a state that we need not be ashamed of.—(Cheers.) I wish further to say with respect to one of my colleagues to whom I am pe culiarly indebted, that it is owing to the temperate wisdom and the high character of my Lord Lansdowne, that the Government have obtained great facilities in the House of Lords, and been thus enabled to carry many important measures which would otherwise have required the assistance of a more prominent Minister.— (Hear, hear.) wish to recu r t o p as t events, or indeed to dilete upon Sir, as I have said, I do not anything that may raise a difference of opinion in this House.—(Hear, hear.) As for the future, I will only 53 Y) that I shall think it my duty to oppose out of °Mee) as I have opposed in office, any restoration of the duty on corn—(Cheers)—wbether under the name of protection or revenue.—(Renewed cheese.) I shall also think it my duty to support an extension of the suffrage to those who are fitted to exercise the franchise for ' the welfare and happiness of the people, be lieving that such an extension will add strength and solidity to our Parliamentary institutions.—(Cheers.) I would say, further, that I shall always use the little influence I may possess for the maintenance of the bless ings of peace.—(Renewed cheers.) I have only further to say that since I came into the House I have received a communication from Lord Derby, stating that it was his wish and that it would facilitate his arrangements if this House would adjourn until Friday.—(Hear, hear.) In consequence of that communication I have to request that all business may be suspended for the present, and I will, therefore, mo ve that the House at its rising do adjourn until Friday. Mr. HUME expressed a hope that on Friday next the new Government would explain to the House the policy they intended to pursue.—(Loud laughter and cheers.) Ho had heard it rumoured that this House would not meet again, and he could not think that such' an ad vantage would be taken by those who had an opportunity afforded them of coming forward and stating their policy For his own part he would be a strenuous advocate of Liberal measures, without regard to either party in the House, and would also support the carrying out of free trade beyond the limits to which it now extended. (Loud laughter from the Opposition.) The motion was then put and agreed to. There was immediately a general rush out of the House. The SPEAKER shortly afterwards left tho Chair, and the Chamber was in a few minutes entirely empty. LAW INTELLIGENCE: VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Feb. 23. (Before Sir RICHARD KINDERSIXY.) APPLETARD V. HOLT. • This was a motion to discharge a writ of no exeat regno, which had been obtained by the plaintiff against the defendant, who is a solicitor, under the following circumstances:—lt appeared that a son of Baron Dims dale, named Henry Fraser Dimsdale, having got into pecuniary difficulties, was imprisoned in the Queen's Bench Prison. A proposition was made that he should take the benefit of the Insolvent Act ; but being entitled to a reversionary interest under his father's settlement, it was thought expedient to sell his interest, and so avoid the discredit of the Insolvent Court. Accordingly, a gentleman named Goddard, an actuary, was called in, who valued the property at 2,1971. Baron Dimsdale, however, refused to give that amount, but agreed to give, and actually gave, the sum of 1,6001 for the reversion,. w hich was beyond the uctual values The arrangement was that the money should be paid to Mr. Holt, upon trust, to make some settl ement w i th U r. H enry F raser Di ass dale's creditors, and as to 200/. to purchase for him a commission in the Austrian service. Among the cre di tors who had clai ms aga i nst Mr. H. F. Dims d a l e was Mr. APPleYard, who h a d acte d as hi s so li c i tor in t beeneinPting to recover certa i n bills, value 1,6001., wh i ch had stolen from him, and who claimed for costs a sum of 9501. Mr. Holt at first paid to Mr. Appleyard a part of that amount, but, it was subsequently returned upon Baron Dimsdale expressing dissatisfaction at the paymen t. The facts appear generally in his Honour's judgment. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Shapter, Mr, Malins, and Mr. Bigg, a ppeared for the parties concerned. Toe VICE-CHANCELLOR said that this was an appli cation to discharge a writ of ne exeat, granted and ob tained by ties being solicit ors of this court. The plaintiff's affidavit that Mr. la stated r.Pitatia aga i nst the defendant. b ot h p ar - Henry Fraser Dimsdale was indebted to him in the t sum of 1 7 ! u • 51 , of which 1201. was for monies advanced, and the residue f or costs , t h e a d vanc es having b een made by him by disbursements for the use of F. Dimsdale , and the costs for services rendered as his attorney. Mr. H. P. Dimsdale was indebted to other a nd in order to persons, compromise such debts, by an b indenture dated September 19, 1851, Mr. Dimsdalo sold and assigned to his father , Baron Dimsdale, a rever sionary interest, to which he was entitled, for 1,6181. 155., upon condition th a t the sum should b e pa id to Mr. Holt, as solicitor for Di ms d ale, i n trust to a pply the same towards the liquida t i on o f the p ion to purchase l a intiff's. bill of costa, to to pay other debts, an d w i t h a po rt F. Dimsdale a commission in the Austrian ser vice; that Holt agreed to accept, and did accept the trust, and the money Was paid on such trust to Holt, and that PP leyard wa s to be paid his bill, w hi c h was refused. A The affidavit then stated that he believed Holt had paid 100/. of the debts among the creditors, and still retained, and intended to retain, in his own possession a sum of 1,3001., or some part thereof; that on December 5, 1 851, the plaintiff first ascertained that Holt was about to leave this country, and that if he did the residue would be entirely lost to him as one of Dimsdale's creditors upon the terms on which the other creditors were to be paid. Then followed a letter from Baron Dimsdalo, in which he stated that he had hoard that Holt was about to start for Africa, and that he was uneasy about his eon's debts. Such were the facts presented to the Court upon the application for the writ, and though now he (the Vice-Chancellor) was satisfied he ought never to have granted the writ, yet upon such a statement he should feel bound to do so were the case to arise again. The facts had been since more fully broughtao light, and it appeared that there had been concealment, ; and --- in a sense misrepresentation upon the first application. It now appeared by the answer of Mr. Holt, which had not been contradicted, and by the plain tiff's and his clerk's affidavits, that Dimsdale had in curred certain debts, and gross frauds had been practised upon him, and that his father and the plaintiff had been engaged in p rosecutieg the offenders , an d th a t th e plain tiff had incurred costs, part l y f o r money advanced, t o the amount o f 1,025/. 15s. Th a t i n July, 1851, Dims dale was i n prison, and Holt was employed to extri c at e him from p r i son, It was propose d a t fi rs t t h at t h e son should go through the Insolvent Court, but eventually arranged that Baron Dimsdale should purchase a re versionary interest belonging to the son, on condition that the money which had been advanced for the son should be included among his debts, and that he should be free from all legal charges; but there was not one word about there being any trust in the hands of Holt. The transaction was a simple purchase. Tho 'plaintiff thereupon stated for the first time that he had a claim against Dimsdale, upon which Holt stated that, if this claim were admitted, it would be quite im possible for him to pay the other creditors. Appleyard then offered to accept 8001, but Holt refused to pay any thing, except in conformity with the deed of assignment. The deed was executed on the Ist of Aug ust, although it was said th e 13th of September was the day on which the trust was created, and which the plaintiff bad sworn would appear by Baron Dirnsdale's affidavit, which, however, was filled too late to be received. It appeared that what followed was this :—Holt found he was a cheque un able, with th e residue of the fund, to lib e rate Di a m m s e dale from prison, and the father , th ereu p on, became aware aware of Appl eyar d h av i ng i n tercepted 8181,4 revcaily . which ho ch aracter i se d t h e proc eeding as . a deed," and Ap p l eyar d i m mediately gave hiss for the amou nt , be i ng naturallyindi g nan t But, notwithstanding at such an expression b e i ng app l ie d to bun. i ns isted that Dims dale's this circumstan ce , i t wa s now olt for which , how affidavit would show a trust 'la m r. Appleyard then ever, there was no pretence . wrote to Holt, remonstrating i with him to the effect that he was entitled to be pad oat of the fund those his pocket, and stating sums which he had paid o f out oney how be could, and that he was now left to get b . a position that no that he was, in fact, placed '" Appleyard then prepared solicitor should be placed ila. h clause about th e . 81g out tI a second deed, leaving TUESDAY vEVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1852. which was executed on the I9th September, but it did not appear by whom it was attested, a fact that should have been supplied. A power of attorney was given to Holt to act on behalf of Dire dale, to pay the creditors at his discretion. The plaintiff had been employed by the Baron, but there was no evidence to show that he bad ever been employed by the son. Now this transac tion was necessarily mis-stated, because the prior facts had been concealed. Holt, it appeared, bad urged Dims dale to pay Appleyard, but he refused, and thereupon Appleyard gave Holt notice not to part with the fund, and yet he swore that he verily believed that Holt was about to retain the money, and filed his bill and ob tained the wri►. Since this motion he (the Vice-Chan cellor) had learned a wholesome rule of one branch of this Court—viz., upon applications of this nature to call upon the applicant to give an undertaking to answer in damages, and had he been aware of it he should have followed this wholesome rule. If such writs as this could bo so obtained what trustee was safe? Mr. Holt had been arrested, and bad beea forced to put in bail. Under these circumstances be should discharge the order with costs, and had the undertaking bee❑ given be should have directed a reference to the Master to impose the damages. Ile thought he had never known an in stance in which the jurisdiction of the Court had been more thoroughly abused. v (Bofor© Sir JAMES PARKER.) BOGUE V. HOULSTON AND ANOTHER—COPYRIGHT IN ENGRAVINGS. His HONOUR gave judgment in this case. The mo tion was for an injunction to restrain the defendants, Messrs. Houlston and Stoneman, publishers in Pater noster-r,-,w, from publishing a book which contained designs or drawings from groups of animals taken from the Exhibition of last year, which the plaintiff, Mr. Bogue, the publisher in Fleetsstreet, alleged to have been piratically copied from those made by artists whom he had employed and paid. Mr. Bogue had annexed to the designs in his book, which was entitled " The Comical Creatures of SVirtemberg," a label or descrip tion to each design, and accompanying the designs were letter-press illustrations consisting of stories connected with the figures. The defendants published a smaller book, containing stories which related to the same dramatis personce, or groups, with different stories from those of Mr. Bogue, but illustrated by the same designs, which he alleged to be piratical copies of designs taken from his book. This was positively denied by the defendants, who alleged that they, or Mr. Philps, for whom they published, had paid artists to make original drawings of the groups of animals. His Honour said that on inspection of the designs themselves, and upon a careful perusal of the evidence, he had come to the conclusion that the drawings published by the de fendants had been copied from those of Mr. Bogue. They had not only copied his designs, but they had copied the descriptive labels which the plaintiff had annexed to the designs. Under these circumstances ho entertained no doubt that the plaintiff was entitled to the injunction. But it had been argued that Mr. Bogue had not esta blished his title to a copyright in the designs in question, inasmuch as he had not complied with the requisitions of the Bth Geo. 11., c. 13, which was the existing statute re gulating the copyright of prints and engravings; which provided that the date of the publication and the name of the proprietor must be truly engraved upon the plate from which the engraving was made. That Act of Parliament had been extended by two other Acts of Geo. 111. It was admitted on the part of the plaintiff that the Act of Bth Geo. 11. was that which now regulated the law with respect to the copyright in designs; but the plaintiff said that his publication was a " book," and that it was entered at Stationers' Hall in his name as the preprieter; and he referred to the sth and 6.h Vict.. c. 45, giving him the copyright of that book. The definition o' a book given in the interpretation clause of this statute was as fel lows:—" Any volume, part, or division of a volume, pamphlet, sheet of letter-press, sheet of music, map. chart, or plan, separately published." No doubt this did not extend to prints or designs, separately published; but where the prints or designs formed part of the book, although it contained, in addition, letter-press, the print or design-being an illustration of the letter-press, the statute vested in the proprietor of that book, of which he had been registered as proprietor, the right to restrain any imitation or infringement of his copyright. It ap peared to him that the term book included every part of the book, including the engravings and designs, as well as the letter-press. It might be very true that prints published separately were not within that Act of Parlia ment by express definition; but the case before the Court was not that of a print published separately, but part of s book. He was not aware that there was any decision of a court of law either way upon this point. He had attended carefully to the authorities referred to by the defendants' counsel, but it did not ap pear that the question before the Court had arisen in any of them—namely, whether, where there was a copy right in a book consisting of illustrations and designs, the copyright did not extend to the illustrations andszlesigus, unless the recognition cif the filth Geo. 11. by the Acts of Geo. 111. applied to them. In the absence of any deci sions,-he thought the correct and obvious construction of the.sth and 6th Viet., c. 45, was, that where there were designs or illustrations forming part of a book, of which book a party had a copyright, that copyright extended to the designs as well as to the letter-press. He must, therefore, decide that Mr. Bogue was entitled to an in junction, in the terms of the notice of motion. The de fendants hid, however, a right to put the plaintiff to bring his action at law; the injunction must issue, the defendants requiring the plaintiff to bring his action at law, or it being stated that the defendants waived their right to insist on this being done. for M th r. eou w ld as lik M e r t . to confer Sw defendants,aN s T ost (wit hsaid h w e h s o m clients before the order was drawn up. His case was that the copyright of the " book " was entirely distinct 1 . with Bennet) hiset) Prow the copyright in the " engravings " The plaintiff might be entitled to restrain the publication of the en gravings, but not the sale of the - book without the en gravings. Mr. CRAIG (with whom was 01r.

The order for the injunction was therefore granted, subject to the defendants' election of requiring, or waiv ing the action tit law. ROLLS' COUUT Feb. 23. THE EARL OF LINDSAY V. THE GREAT NuRTHERN RAIL . _ WAY COMPANY. Mr. LLOYD moved for an injunction to restrain the com p a ny from cutting away, breaking down, or removing the earth which now separates the water upon the spaces du:: out in the land on the Welland Canal, on the plain tiff's esrate from the canal, and from constructing upon such land, containing 2 acres 6 poles, near Uffi .gton, branch canal, or otherwise using such laud than autho rised by agreement for temporary purposes, specified in the company's notice of 23d November, 1850. It ap peared that this company had, under agreement, used and applied that land to the purpose of digging oue. bal last fur their railway, and a large space of it became filled with water, which the company now threatened to make into a canal to communicate with the Welland Canal, and take goods and coals to their railway station at Tallington, a project which would be injurious to the plaintiff's mansion at Uffington, and the rectory adjoin ing, of which the Earl is the patron. The plaintiff had, therefore, applied for an injunction to restrain the com pany from proceeding to make this use of tho land. Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER opposed the motion on the ground that the company was prepared to carry out tha objects of which they had given formal notice to the plaintiff, and that if the Court should restrain them there would be a great loss incurred by the interrup tion of the works, whilst the plaintiff could suffer no greater inconvenience by the opening of this short branch line to Tallington station than his Lordship suffered already from the vicinity of the Welland Canal, which ran along his demesne, within 270 yards of Uffingtou Manor Rouse and rectory. The Court would, therefore, to prevent damage, resist the present application, and send the material question in the cause by a special case to the decision of a court of law. The MASTER of the ROLLS said he saw no necessity in this instance to exercise the power of the Court in making the interim order perpetual, the company under taking to abide by any future order of this Court as to damages or otherwise, and paying within fourteen days the purchase money of the land in question at the rate of 3001. per acre. The Court ordered that a special case be made out for. the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench, whether an action is maintainable for damages for refusal on the part of the plaintiff to convey, on re quest thereto by the company, the said 2 acres 6 poles to the company, the case to state preparation of convey ance and its presentation to the Earl, and his refusal to convey; and also to admit that the company exe cuted a formal deed of covenants in conformity ofv;.March, 1846.

IN RE JADIES R. ANDERSON. In this 091 Mr. - Qualm Duce, - the roguish, """ made his report, and the dividend under the insolvency occasioned by Drury-lane Theatre will he 91d. in the pound on debts proved to 5,3781. The money in court on which the dividend will be declared, and of which the creditors will have notice, is 2221. .11. ld. The matter has been several times before the registrar, and a dis cussion arose in respect to the sum on which a dividend was to be paid for the play called The Old Love and the New. The registrar fixed the dividend on the amount claimed by the author. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. John Barker Murphy, alias Barker, alias Stanlry, 41, described as a builder, Benjamin Martin, 43, agent, and Alexander Honeyman, 30, agent, were indicted with a person named Turner, not in custody, for conspiring together to obtain goods by false pretences, with intent to defraud. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution; the defen dants wore represented by Mr. Robinson, Mr. Grit!era, and Mr. Kenealy. It appeared that the prosecutor of this indictment was a Mr. Brock, who carries on the business of a d:-.aler in Bohemian glass articles in Bartlett's-buildings. In July last, Turner, the man whose name appeared in the in dictment as a co-conspirator with the defendants, called at his warehouse, and represented that be was a com mercial traveller, and that he was desirous of dealing with him for articles in his trade upon credit, and he re ferred to the defendant Murphy as Barker,. whom he described to be a respectable builder in William-street, Newington causeway, and Martin, whom he described us John Stanley, residing in the Southwark-bridge road, as persons who would vouch for his respectability. He accordingly applied to these parties, and upon their representation that Turner was a very respectable per son, and possessed considerable property, and that he was certain to pay for the goods, the prosecutor, alt hough these persons were entire strangers to him, consented to let Turner have goods to the amount of more than 3001. The evidence left no doubt that these two defendants and Turner wore leagued together for the purpose of obtaining the goods in question by fraud, as it was shown that they had both gone by false names, and that im mediately after the goods had been obtained by Turner, under the circumstances stated, a considerable portion of them came into their hands and were pawned through their instrumentality. With regard to the third defen dant, Honeyman, however, all that was proved against him was,.that a portion of the property came into his possession through Turner ; but it appeared that im mediately the matter was made the subject of inquiry he at once admitted the fact, and said that Turner had placed it with him as security for money he owed him, and he expressed his readiness to give it up to Mr. Brock, and there did not appear to be any evidence to connect him with the fraudulent transaction of the other parties. At the close of the case for the prosecution, an inti mation was given by the Court that there was nothing to go to the jury aeaiust Houeyman, and the jury there at once returned a verdict of nut guilty with regard to that defendant. The jury found both the other defendants guilty. Sergeant Quinnear, of the P division, who had the case in hand, stated, in answer to questions put by the Court, that ho had reason to believe that both the de fendants who had been convict.- d formed part of a gang of swindlers about the metropolis, who obtained their livelihood by defrauding tradesmen of their goods by means of false rrferencea and representations with re gard to each other. He was sot aware, however, that either of them had over b , efure been convicted. The Kix ,RDER sentenced the defendants to be kept to hard labour fur six months. NC w GUUts T. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Daniel Sullivan, a powerfully-formed young man, having the appearance of a pugilist, was indicted for feloniously assaulting George Harris, and stealing from him a gold watch valued at 401. Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. M'Mahoa was fur the prisoner. The prosecutor, who stated himself to be a gentleman of independent property, living at Norwood, said that on the night of Saturday, the 14th, he went with his bro ther to the Griffin public-house, Church-street, New ington, kept by Welsh, the fighting man, to see some glove practice. The prisoner was there, and prosecu tor's brother bad a set-to with the gloves. Witness was the worse for liquor, and in the course of the evening he had occasion to go into the yard, where ho .was pre ceded by the prisoner, whom be had asked to show him the way. Prisoner took him to the skittle-ground at the rear of the premises, remaining in the skittle-ground, and as prosecutor was leaving, prisoner seized his watch; prosecutor resisted, and a scuffle ensued, when prisoner knocked him down and made his escape; and when prosecutor recovered the effects of the attack, he found his watch gonv, and the broken chain hanging from his waistcoat. Information was given to the po lice, who took the prisoner about an hour afterwards frem bis father's, where he was in bed, drunk. When told what he was charged with, he said he knew nothing about the matter. Prisoner had in his .possession when searched, one sovereign and 7s. Bd. It further transpired that b o th prisoner and prosecutor, and others of the party, were very drunk. The jury said they were not satisfied that prosecutor had his watch when he entered the skittle-ground, and acquitted the prisoner, who was ordered to be at once discharged. THE LATE BRUTAL MURDER OF A FEMALE I .A -1- MA EBONE. Yesterday. at Maryieloneiolice:loutt,after the dis posal of the majority of the night Charges, the man Wil liam Styles, who underwent an examination before Mr. Broughton yesterday week on the charge of having murdered Emma, his wife, was again placed at the bar, and the court was, as upon the former occasion, crowded to excess. An immense number of persons had assembled around the Government van, from which the prisoner was brought up from the House of Deteetiou, Clerkenwell, and-ieveral policemen of the D . .division were in ettene danCe to keep the way clear, and prevent any coufusiote during the transit of the prisoner from the vehicle to one of-the lock-up rooms in the outer office. The particulars which transpired upon the first ir quiry in relation to Ow horrible affiar have already ap peared. A coroner's inquest had since been held upon the body of the unfortunate deceased, and an adjournment fur a fortnight had taken place. Mr. Heury Percy, surgeon, who, as it will be remem bered, gave evidence yesterday week, and then spoke as to the appearances which the body presented when he was called in, was again sworn. Mr. Broughton—Since you were last here, Sir, you have made a post-mortem examination of the body of de ceased, I believe? W itness—l have. Mr. Broughton—Whst is the result of the examina tion? Witness—l and my usbistant opened the head. Th e re was no fracture of the skull. The brain was congested, and serum was effused between the mem branes into the ventricles. I examined the chest, and found on the right aide the whole of the ribs, with the exception of the first one broken, some of Ihem in two pl..ces. The right Dirt of the chest was driven in, and a quantity of blood infused into the cavity of the pleura. I examined the left side, and found some of the ribs broken in two places. One rib was driven into the lung. Mr. Broughton—ln what state was the heart?—Wit ness—lt was healthy. I examined the abdomen, and found the upper surface of the liver and a large quantity of blood in the cavity of the abdomen, perhaps two or three pints. The spleen was ruptured. Other organs were healthy. In reply to the Magistrate, witness said that the pro fession to which he belonged were not quite agreed as to what the functions of the spleen were. Witness gave further evidence to the effect that the death of de ceased had been caused by having pressure upon the chest and upon the throat. Mr. Broughton—You have seen the clothes belonging to the prisoner which were brought here last Monday,s and you saw spots upon them. Do you think the sporte were those of blood? Witness—l have cut out the p o a d t , of the clothes where the marks wore, that the marks were blood. Dr. Hassell, 669 session. and have no id ,ark b . street, Dorset-square, has the pieces in h t is a ß9!,... de . Mr. Brovghtou—Have you any doubt . ceased met with a violent death ? W. n it t n e, in „ ei nch as Some additional evidence was at it had been rumoured that the deceasedgonci was not married to the prisoner. d in which the prisoner Tue foreman of the stable is employed said that tiealei Y • that a he never knew her by any and imagined that deceased was prisoner's wife, and_style. other name than that of said said that when the prisoner Sergeant Chester, 23. t was brought to the station and asked by him what his wife's name was, he replied " Emma. Inspector Porter, D, w ho has beea very acti ve in the eclin ' jug up of the case, produced letter in reply to ore "ch, consequerce of information communic a t e d to h i m , w he addressed to a police inspector at Woodstock. Th e said letter was handed to Mr. Broughton, and it would appear, therefore, that the prisoner was known there, and that his name was Joseph Greenaway, sup posed to be a deserter from a. regiment of Dragoons, and that the female who was with him was not married to him.

STATE OF TRADE. There has been an active business transacted at Man cheater during the past week, and the Friees of cotton yarns and cloth have ndvnneed, the former to the extent of from id. to id. per lb. The receipt of more favour able adyices from foreign markets has produced a renewal of business for continental account, and the'Gerrnall buyers have extended their operations in yarns to the extent of 2,500,000 lb. more this year than in the satne period of 1851. For the Bombay and China markets there has also been an increased demand. This improve ment was, however, checked on Saturday, by the intel ligence that her Majesty's Ministers had resigned, and though prices were not affected, yet the amount of busi ness transacted was very limited. It is, perhapsf , orta nate that there, aro large contracts in hand, which will furnish full employment for some weeks hence, other.. wise the present political changes would , by dest.roy.lag confidence as to the future, exercise a very injurious effect upon the manufacturing interests generally. The hosiery trade at Nottingham continues tolerably active, and in some descriptions of goods there has been an in creased demand. The lace manuf ac t ure rs are also fairly employed, and are looking for an improved demand. al the season advances. At Leicester, and in t he aelgh bouring district, trade has been dull; but a more active business is anticipated in the spring. The woollen trade at Bradford is very unsatisfactory, and prices for p iece goods and yarns unreentinerative. At Leeds there . 11 " been an improvement in 'the cloth markets, and prices are firm, with a tendency upwsrds. The wholesale houses have increased their purchases, and the awe" are moderate. At Birmingham the several departm ents of trade are generally well employed, and in syma branches of manufacture—such as brass fonnoery, copper, and gilt work—there has been an increased an' tivity. In South Staffordshire there has been' 311 in creased demand for the best descriptions of iron, and the export trade is tolerably active. In the home merko!, with the exception of a large order for rails, trade Is anything but brisk.
