A deputation from the association to obtain postal couneunieatien between all nations by means of the lowest practicable uniform charge for ship transit of letters and printed papers, which was formed during the late Great Exhibition, of the following gentle men—nerd Ashburton, Sir J.

(America), Colonel Sir William Reid, K C.E. R.E., Herr Von Viebahn (Zollverein) , C. P. Villiers, Nf.P., and Don. M. Ysasi (Spain) — f oo l in interview on Friday, at the Foreign-office, with E.:el Granville. Ti deputation consisted of Sir John Boileau, Bart., Sir Joha Burgoyne, George Moffatt, Esq Cole, Esq., C. 8., Wen worth Dilke, Esq., and T. Henry Milner Gibson, Esq., m.P. Sir John Boileau introduced the deputation to Earl Granville. Mr. HENRY COLE said that, as no change could be made in the postal arrangements of foreign countries, it was the opinion of the deputation that the best method of initiating the important change which they had in view was, that the Government should express its desire to act in friendly concert with foreign Governments in endeavouring to form a system of international penny postage. Whether this should be done by a postage congress, after the model of the sanitary congress, was matter for after consideration; but there was little doubt that the step, however taken, would be well received, especially after the example set by England, in having a uniform rate of inland postage, had been more or less followed by all foreign countries. With regard to the colonies, the Government could act without interference, and it would be fur the heads of that department to con sider whether it were wise to retain the trifling revenue now produced by ship letters in exchange for the wide benefits which a reduction of omen postage would confer on emigrants, and therefore ultimately on the mother country. The late occurrence of the Great Exhibition, and the intimate connexion of the Noble Earl with that event, made this a happy opportunity for his initiating the movement. Mr. MOFFATT spoke of the very beneficial results to trade and commerce certain to follow this step, if any analogy can be drawn from the results of the penny postage. It is impossible to overrate the effect which that change has had on all branches of our commerce— they have been quite revolutionized by it. The feeling of the City merchants is very strong in favour of this plan, though it is thought by some that the most practi cable way of bringing it about would be to set the ex ample with one or two foreign States, as the United States or France. Sir JOHN BURG)INE thought that the loss by the penny postage (lid not effect the correctness of the prin ciple of reduction, but arose rather from other causes which will not act in the case of a packet servtce ; and that the good result would therefore be more imme diately apparent. On the point of the advantage to the colonies, and of the feasibility of the reduction, he was glad to know that his opinion was entirely the same with that of Colonel Sir W. Reid, who, when Governor of the Bermudas, and of the Leeward Islands, had paid great at tention to the question. Sir J. Burgoyne deprecated any partial reform, which could reduce the revenue while it did not give the public the full benefit of the change. A penny ocean postage was the right step. He advocated a commencement with the colonies, even if no international measure followed. It could not fail to bind them more closely to the mother country. Mr. WENTHWORTH DUKE said that this question bad come before the British Association for the advance ment of bcienee at their last meeting, especially with respect to the transmission of scientific periodicals. The difficulty of obtaining those published by foreign so cieties was at present very great. Sir R. Murchison had takeregreat interest in the matter, and if not un avoidably prevented would have been present to-day. Mr. MILNER Guisort wished to express the strong and growing feeling in favour of this scheme of ocean penny postage of the merchants and men of business of Manchester. With regard to the United States and our colonies there appeared to he little difficulty, and there was great probability that the decrease which must be ex;,ected at first in the revenue would be soon made up, even financially, putting out of view the commercial and philanthropic benefits which the change would produce. Earl GRANVILLE said in reply that it was the real in terest of this country to promote peace and intercourse between all nations, and that nothing can so certainly conduce to that end as our giving all facilities to the communication of knowledge and of ideas. With this view, cheap universal postage was most desirable. These were matters of detail which meet be considered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the other members of the Government; at presrnt they need not be gone into. On the principle he did not het , itate to say that he was most anxious to give every support in his power to the views of the deputation, which he should communicate to his colleagues in the Government. The deputation then retired. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) A very satisfactory business has been transacted this week in dividend mines; but the rapid accumulation of new projects fur Australian and Californian gold re searches has considerably damped the inquiry for the speculative and progressive classes of British mines, the former in particular. It is to be remarked, however, that capital once drawn within the mining circle, and with her results, seeing the scope there is tor its judici ous application, is more likely to remain and circulate therein than to seek for other channels of investment, now that railways in particular have been thrown into e ah ade, and dividends in mining shares realising very large 2; and to'esably certain rates of iu:erest.

THE ARCTIC SEARCHER.—We understand that Captain Penny has again volunteered his energetic and indefatigable services in the new Arctic Searching Expedition; but the Admiralty do not seem inclined to aveil themselves of the services or experience of any but officers belonging to the Royal Navy. It is said Captain Penny will have an expedition fitted out for him by private subscription. We arc gied to find that the Admiralty have awakened to the sense of the westernmost port requirements, and have ordered that the new basin and dock works be cleared of water at the Government expense, in order that the contractor may commence operations. These works are a disgrace to the country. THE CAPTAIN GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—L is most likely that Captain Alexander T. E. Vidal (1825) will receive the Good Service Pension vacant by the promo tion of Captain Walpile. Commander S. L. Crofton (1850), who was promoted from the command of the Rifleman at Brazils, will suc ceed Commander Lavie in the command of the Alecto, steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.—Major-General Carden, of the Royal Engineers, Colonel Colquhoun, of the Artil lery, and Sir Edward Belcher, are appointed a commis sion to examine and report on the state of the defences in the Channel Islands, which are of the first importance in the general review of the state of our fortifications. KOSSUTH AND THE BLUES.—We have reason to be lieve that the retirement of Mr. Algernon Massing berd from the Blues has been brought about in a great measure by an intimation he received that his attention to the celebrated Hungarian Magyar, in placing his mansion in Eaton-square at his disposal, as well as ac companying- him in his progress through this country, was by no means befitting the position he held in the Household Troops of her Majesty. Mr. Massingberd is now in America, and report avers that he is deter mined to attach himself to the fortunes of Kossuth. ROYAL MARINES RECRUITS.—WO can state from authority that the number of recruits approved for the Royal Marines, during the last six months, ending 31st Decsmber, 1851, was 326 (and not 286), whose height ranged in the following order :--89, between 5 ft. 7i in. and .5 ft. 8 in. ; 128, between 5 ft. 8 in. and 5 ft. 9 in.; 64, between 5 ft. 9 in. and 5 ft. 10 in.; 30, between 5 ft. 11 in. and 6 ft. ; and 15 6 feet and upwards. THE CAPE GOVERNMENT.—C. H. Dar ling, Es q., Lieutenant-Governor of St. Lucia, is appointed Lieute nant-Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, and will have all the business of launching the new constitution at Cape Town, in the absence of the new Governor, Major-Ge neral Cathcart, on the frontier. CAPE STAFF.—Major-General Charles Yorke has been placed on the Staff, as second in command at the Cape, under the orders of Major-General Cathcart. Major-General Yorke served in the Peninsula with the 52d Regiment, and has a medal with 10 clasps. He was also at Waterloo. Ile proceeds to the Cape forthwith, in the Hydra steamer. Lieutenant-Colonel C. F. Sey mour, Scots Fusilier Guards, is appointed military se cretary to Major- General Cathcart, and Captain the Hon. R. W. P. Curzon, of the Grenadier Guards, aide-de camp. TROOPS FOR RANGOON.—It is expected that a wing of the 51st Light Infantry, stationed at Madras, will pro ceed to Rangoon, should the authorities there evince a spirit of hostility at the demand of the British Govern ment. Dr. Hale, recently appointed Deputy Inspector- General of Hospitals for Bombay, arrived at that Pre sidency on the 18th of November. The new military chapel at Winchester was opened with Divine Service on Sunday last by the Rev. Robert Gleig, M.A., Chaplain-General to the Forces. ORDNANCE.—The hired barracks at Corry-square, Newry, are ordered to be given up to the proprietor. Ball-practice ground has been hired at Enniskillen, from the Earl of Enniskillen, for the use of the troops, consisting of four companies and head-quarters of the 31st Regiment, and the Enrolled Pensioners. Paymaster Arnold Thompson, of the Coventry Re cruiting district, retires upon half-pay after a service of upwards of fifty years, forty-seven of them as Paymaster. A RELIC OF TRAFALGAR.—The Admiralty have given orders that one of the old Victory's anchors in store at Woolwich Dockyard is to be forwarded to Portsmouth, and to be presented to the committee, with the view of placing it on a monument to be erected at South Sea Beach. THE ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITION OF 1852. Among tho volunteers of the new Arctic Expedition are Captain Sir E. Belcher, Captain Kellett, Captain Om manney, Commanders Pullen, M'Clintock, and C. C. Poi 4th, Lieuterants Osborne and Browne, Mr. C. Richards, Clerk, and Mr. Bell, Assistant Engineer at Portsmouth. THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE STEAM RESERVE AT DEVoNPuItT.—It was generally believed that Captain Austin, C. 13., would have been appointed to this office. We believe is was offered to that officer but declined by him. Capt. Austin has no notion of employment under that of the superin:endence of a dock or victualling-yard, or the packets at Southampton. There is no doubt if Captain Austin had followed up Penny's discoveries up the Wellington Channel, and had not come home from the Arctic regions for another season, he would have had anything he might have asked for. WEST INDIA MAILS. , - SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 23.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam. ship Clyde, Captain Moss, arrived this morning at half-past ten o'clock from the West In dies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. Perci val, R.N., Admiralty agent. Oa the homeward voyage of the Clyde she expe rienced strong westerly and south-westerly gales from the western islands home. The dates by this arrival from Jamaica are to the 30th December, on the morning of which day the Derwent left with the present mails for St. Thomas. The Assembly, which adjourned on the 23d De cember over the Christmas holidays, was to have re assembled on the 29th, but no quorum could then be formed ; it was not improbable that a further adjourn ment would take place. The measures that had occupied the attention of the House were not of the first importance ' • some of the principal questions— those relating to financial affairs—had not, been dealt with, but there had been, nevertheless, a decided improvement in the mode of conducting the public business, and more expedition secured. Some even ings had been devoted to the discussion of the election law, in which it was sought to make some amend ment, in order to place the franchise on a more re spectable footing. Much diversity of opinion existed on the question, as is usually the case, whenever it is brought fo:ward, but still it was believed that, as far as practicable, the bill when finally disposed of would be ,etisfactory to irll parties. Another measure before the hcuse, introduced by Mr. Brockett, mem ber for Hanover, was a bill to abolish the office of coroner, and throw the duties thereof on the magis trate of the island. This had received very strong opposition. The mercantile interests of the island of Kingston, in particular, were suffering severely from the with ae. drawal o f a l arge a mount of their foreign trade, Which had been transferred to the island of S. This was properly attributed to the absence T h a r ect and regular communication between Ja maica, Santa M art h a , Ch agres , an d other ports, since the alteration in the routes of the Royal Mail Com pany's steamers.

BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—The public are already made acquainted with the fact that the Board of Ordnance has issued specifications to the gunmakers of Birmingham and London for the immediate " setting up" and supply Of 23,000 rifle muskets. The barrel?, lock 4, and other eppolirments of these rill-2s are supplied to the gun makers by the Board of Ordnance, and have been for some years in the course of manufacture in this town and neighbourhood. The rifle required is on the Minid principle, and provided with " sights" regulated to carry balls of a peculiar description distances varying from 400 to 900 yards. In other respects the muskets are ex actly the same in quality es those supplied to the Board of Ordnance, with which many regiments of the line have b. - en furnished for the last ten years, and commonly known ty the name of the " new line musket." The tenders from Birmingham were returned to the Board of Ordnance on the 22d inst , and this day (Fri day), being board day, it is presumed that the orders to successful competitors for the contracts will be issued forthwith. The specifications set forth aro to the fol lowing effect:—" What number of rifle muskets upon the principle stated, you fit up in a given time, and at what price?" subj.ct, of course, to the usual inspection of Government inspectors , of which there is at present a numerous unemployed staff at the Proof•house at Bagot street in this town. It is calculated hat if Birmingham should be fortunate enough to obtain these contracts, they will give employ ment to about 2,000 workmen, who have not had living employment since March last. The operative gun makers for the:Ordnance and Tower work constitute an entirely different branch from those of the birdiug and fowling-piece trade, and in consequence of the inexpli cable vagaries of the Government Board have for a con siderable period past been subjected to the greatest des titution for want of employment. But notwithstanding the desperate condition of the operative military gunmakers, as distinguished in some degree from other branches of the gun trade, there ap pears to be great dissatisfaction among the workmen respecting the prices to be paid for various descriptions of work required in the " getting up" of the new con tracts. The workmen in London during the early part of last week delivered to their masters a list of prices, demanding the same to be paid for the stocking, screw ing, and finishing, which they were last paid when em ployed upon jilt)," new Tower musket."_To this list the Birmingham workmen demurred, and have caused the metropolitan journeymen gunmakers to send a second list of prices at an advance of about 121 per cen t. Thus, in 1849 stockers were receiving 3s. sd. for stock ing, and screwers and finishers (which in Birming ham is one branch, and in London two) 103. 10d. They now require, in obedience to the dictation of the Birmingham men, 3s. 9d. for stocking, and 12s. 3d. for screwing and finishing. This advance, although ap parently small, would amount in a large contract to a very considerable sum; but, notwithstanding, the master gun-makers of Birmingham, seeing the great extremi ties to which the men for some years past have been re ducd, are, if they could without endangering the con tract, inclined to accede to the requirements of the men. The spirit is willing. It is, however, generally con sidered thet the workmen are much to blame, in times of great competition like the present, to demand an ad vance of prices on those paid for the last guns of the same quality, and which in 1849, both in London and Birmingham, were deemed not only good but highly satisfactory. There is no more work in the MiniO rifle musket than in the new line musket, although, from the fixing of the sight by screws instead of soldering them, greater risk is incurred and a greater liability to masters. The rifling of the barrels has nothing to do with the prices paid to the gunfitters, as that charge is paid by the contractor at his own cost. If, however, it should be contended that Minie 's rifle occasions more trouble in the fitting than the new line mu:ket, it should be re collccted that in the new invention the loops of the bar rels are prepared for the bolts which the workmen for merly prepared themselves, and that neither is there any sight to affix, which they formerly had to affix to the new line musket. The public will see by the above statement that, at whatever lower prices than formerly the Board of Ord nance is supplied with the 141 mo muskets required, the reduction will not be obtained out of the prices paid to the workmen, but entirely from the profits of the con tractors. It is necessary that, in the present state of the menu facturkg interests, these plain facts should be related, and that the operative gunmakers in London, as well as in Birmingham, should be made aware of the circum stances in which their employers, as well as themselves, are placed. The disposal of the contracts of the Board of Ordnance must, of course, greatly depend upon w h at have been the demands of the men. It may be th a t t h e g unmakers, by their meetings in Birmingham and Lon don hare, like the machinists of Lancashire and the me tropolis, overshot the mark. It is considered that the rifle muskets, for which the specifications are out, will cost the Board of Ordnance about 31. 5.. each, exclusive of the cost of viewing, in spection, packing, &c, This may appear a very high price for soldiers' muskets, but if the public were aware of the strict manner of viewing each article as it is manufactured, they would not be surprised at the amount of the cost. The great fault committed by the former as well as present Governments has been the wretched weapons (and wretched because cheap) which have been placed in the hands of our army and navy. For several months past the gunlock makers of Dar laston, Wednesbury, and Wolverhampton have been very nearly in full employ; but it is understood there are not less than 18,000 new musket locks in the Tower; so that an addit'oaal supply of 5,000 will be all that is re quired, to make up the proposed contracts for new miv kets. The bayonet makers are also in full work. The contract for bayonets was given by Government to one manufacturer; .but to enable him t o comp l ete t h e or d er he has been obliged to employ several other makers. TILE NEW STEAI"rI-,SIIIP ORINOCO. This magnificent steam-ship, which has recently been built for the Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, and is of the same size and class as the ill-fated Amazon, sailed from Blackwell on Friday afternoon, on a trial trip in the English Channel, for the purpose of testing her engines previous to taking her position on the pas-1 sage between Southampton and the West Indies, where ' she will be employed in the conveyance of passengers and the mails. The Orinoco was originally to have left Blackwell on her experimental voyage on Thursday, but a stiffish breeze blowing at the time appointed for her departure it was considered more prudent to defer at tempting the difficult navigation of the river with a ves sel of her dimensions until the wind had moderated. Yesterday, however, the weather was extremely favourable, and all being in readiness she got under weigh at one o'clock, P.M , and steamed steadily down the river against the tide, threading her way skilfully amidst the numerous craft outward and homeward bound which at all times enliven the scenery of the meandering Thames. She has a party of gentlemen on board who take a lively interest in her success, among whom are Captain Mangles, R.N., one of the directors of the Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company; all Mr. Mandalay, the constructor of her machinery. She arrived off Gravesend about half-past three, where she landed several of her party, and then resumed her course in gallant style towards the Nore, where she was to anchor for the night. In the morning she was to proceed down Channel, and would probably sail as far as the Lizard Point, and then return by Sun day evening to Southampton, where she will take on hoard her passengers and the mails. She leaves for the West, Indies, on her first voyage, on the 2d of February. The Orinoco was built at the same time as the Amazon, and although of about the same ton nage and power .as the latter vessel, is yet slightly different from her in construction. She was built by Pitcher, her engines being by Mandalay, whilst those of the Amez m were made by Seaward. Her dimensions are as follows:—Length between the perpendiculars, 270 fr.; length of keel for tonncge, 245 ft. 11 in.; lennth on spar deck, 276 ft. 6 in.; length ' on the main deck, 270 ft.; breadth (extreme), 41 ft. 10 in.; breadth for tonnage to a 6-inch bottom, 41 ft. 6 in.; breadth moulded, 40 ft. 6 in.; breadth from out to out of paddle-box, 71 ft. 10 in. Her cabins and state-room are fitted up in the most elegant and com modious manner. With respect to her engines, her boats, and the precautions which have been taken against casualties, with the view of preventing the re currenco of such a deplorable catastrophe as that which lately befell the Ana%z)tf it may not be uninteresting to our readers to subjoin the following extracts from the report of. Captain Allan, who at present has temporary command of the Orinoco, his own vessel, the Parana, bring now at Greenock receiving her fittings. Captain Allan was employed by the directors to make an official inspection of the Orinoco, and to report upon the state of her boilers, engines, &c. : " The chimneys enter the funnel below the spar deck, the beams and woodwork are all clear of them, and lined with lead. A good hatchway opens on the main deck, directly over the main galleys, and from the open and couv i c eous position of them, there cannot be the least stores, from tere e , them, whie hnor havef ro a m l l thebee been different carefully funnels fitted obilkheads and decks.

In connexion with the engineer's storeroom, the re port stated that there is " separate apartment for oil and tallow, which are to be stowed in tanks. From the manner of their construction and the situation they or iv, I have no doubt of their safety from fire. The ar rangements all throughout the engine-room departments are most satisfactory, and from them there is no appre hension of fire. The fire engines, hose, and fire buckets of the Ori noco I consider will be most effectual in case of need. 66 _Abaft the foremast, on th e main -deck, is Downton ' d patent fire pump and 120 feet of hose.

(Before the CHIEF JUSTICE of the Con-uro!: Pleas., Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. justice Gere.nerode, Mr. drie t.ce Wramestada, Ml'. Justice . ) CaFes W ELL, .501:1TALFOURD.) aro. v. POVVELL. In this case the prisoner was tried before Mr. jtee ;ee Ifeeel, at the last, tiesize: at lirecee, tiaeu ieteat- Limit chargin g him with burela t ion s ly breaking end entering the dwelling -house or David Willitany}, 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 eum 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 earn() land; subsequently the prosecutor, the mortgagee, brought an action of debt against the prisoner fur the recovery of turns which he hail lent, which action wit impending, and approaching trial, when the burglary was committal. The evidence proved that the prisoner committed the burglary in order to steal the mortgage securities, and the jury found that the offence was core milted vriih intent to steal the raortgage 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 bolonging 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 statutable larceny as " valuable securities," they were not " goods and chattels ;" hut 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 wore 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. SLADE, 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 " goods 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;" and in support of this argument the Learned Counsel cited a taco from the third insti tutes, to the effect that where charters which savoured of realty wore deposited in a box, that box 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 considereclferce nature. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas— It has been decided in Gloucestershire that larceny can not be committed of a canary's cag?, because it savours of the canary.g Mr. SLADE—The offence alleged in the indictment was a felony, whereas the prisoner had only been guilty of a statuable misdemeanour by the 23d section of the 7th and Bth Geo. IV., c. 29, which makes it a misdemea nour only to steal deeds anti writings relating to real estate . No counsel appearing on behalf of the Crown, the Court said they mould take time to consider tho cane. 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 dr a forged receipt for poor rates. It appeared that a man of the name of James Gillard 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 he placed the forgcd recept in the hands of Dwyer for the purpose of vouch ing for his respectability, and of being accepted a 3 se curity, and thus of obtaining the advance of money upon loan to James Gillard, It was objected at the trial on behalf of the prisoner, that the placing of the forged re ceipt in the hands of Dwyer 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 ho 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 man 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, for 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 male and had a house for which he paid the rates, and was, therefore, a good security, he represented as genuine a document w hi c h was f a l se, an d was, therefore, guilty of uttering with intent to deceive and defraud. M r . METCALFE replied, and the Court said that they would take time to consider their judgment. REG. V. BOULTER. The prisoner was tried for perjury b e f ore t h e R ecor d er of the city of London, upon an indictment which alleged that the defendant had been tenant to one George Healey, the prosecutor, of a ce r t a i n d we l l i ng -h ouse and premises under a certain rent, and that in the month of June, 1851, the said George Healey had distrained upon the defendant for a certain arrear of that rent. The perjury assigned was, that the defendant had in substance falsely sworn, amongst other things, at a trial at Nisi Prius (upon which the question waa material), that there was only one quarter's rent of the premises due 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 Healey, 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 qearters 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• fondant 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 be loft to the jury; that Johu Healey's statement as to the admission of tee defendant went no further than to estaleish 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 cf the distress, or in explana tion of the error in the receipt. The Learned Recorder overruled the objection, but reserved the point for the consideration of the Court of Appeal. Mr. OTMEN, on behalf of the prisoner, contend e d that the evidence of John Healey, the proseciror'e 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 wee, charged with the offence. of perjury it was not enough to dis- prove what he had sworn by the oath of one other %tit tles', but that unless there wire two oaths, or steno docu mentary evidence, or some admission, or some circum stance.' to supply the pace of a second witness, it was not sufficient. (leg. 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 .vas wanting in the present case. Mr. CLARESON, for the prosecution, urged that it was sufficient to show by evidence that ono oath was more to be relied on than the other, aed that it did not signify to what extent the amount of corroborative evidence went, as that was a question to bo loft to the jury, and was not for the Judge to decide. Th think it L L n o e n c i s C s a n r y i F.'

The prisoner at length became so exas perated at this annoyance that he turned suddenly round and made a dash aft( r his little persecutors, whose Kcivity enabled them to get beyond his reach, and the prisoner, from his vexation and drunkennes , , being unable to make any discrimination, immediately turned upon the unfortunate deceased, who was sa i d to be standing still watching the proceedings, and dealt him such a violent blow upon the head that ho staggered a short distance, fell sharply upon the edge of the kerbston,,, and, upon being raised up by the bystanders, it was discovered that he could not stand, and was suffering excruciating sgcmey in one of his legs. The deceased w a s i mme diately f" e _, , (l in a cab and convoyed t o St. Bartholomew's LIOSP"' where his thigh was pronounce) to be fractured, and the prisoner was remanded to await the 'ain't of the in juries the man had sustained. A constable oi the G diviiiion who was now in aAend aneo stated, that the object of the prisoner's viohnce, after lingering in acute pain f)r a considerable time, bad lengthat . expired in the hospital, and that upon a eqx ner-6 jury being called to inquire into the case they hid returned a verdict spinet the prisoner of " Man slaughter." The constable, in answer to a questien from the magistrate, added that the surgeon who had been in attendanee 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 London, having only just come up from the country, and that he had drunk so much upon the night in question that he had not the slightest recollection of anything. that had taken place ; he felt satisfied, hewrwr, that be must have been uncontrolably exasperated to strike the de ceased in the manner alleged, for which he was ex tremely sorry, ttrd it was evident he had been most shamtfully treated himself, as ho had several injuries and contusions on different parts of his person, The MAGISTRATE intienotod 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. CLERKEN WELL. Ann White, a miserable, dis,;ieateci-lool:ing young woman, was put at the bar ne:'ore itiir. Tyrw iiitt for final examination on the charge of having murdered her infant child, of the ago of nine months. On the first examination of the accused it appeared that she had resided in tho hens° of Mr. Hathaway, Field's-place, Somers -town, with her two children, one seven years old an d th e deceased; that they were fre quently left by her without food, fire, or clothes, and otherwise so utterly neglected that her landlord eventu ally deemed it his duty to call in a cmastable, 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 emamined by Mr. Robin son, the parochial surgeon, who found them sinking rapidly from the combined want of fo.ll 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 atrocity, importance, and nicety, a meanness ought not to exist, especially with a parochial body, and he wished them to review their decision. On Saturday it appeared the parish officers had profited by the recommendation of the worthy ma gistrate as Mr. Seton, clerk to the vestry, a pp e ared as the public prosecutor, and called another witness, who proved almost unheard of brutality by the accused to wards her poor children. Mr. ITIRRIIITT, at the conclusion of the examination, said it was a most sad and painful case, and committed the prisoner to Ncwgate to t a k e h er trial, she declining to make any defence. LAMBETH. John Donovan, a journeyman 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 examinatior. The prosecutor, who bad been brought from St. Tho mas's Hospital, where be had remained for several days without the slightest hopes of his recovery, and who, though now pronounced out of danger, 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 me with the knife which ho held in his hand. Ho 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 me, and on awaking I cried cut " 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 " Murder!" and on going to the bottom of the stairs he saw his son, who cried out, " Father, ha is killing me!" The prismer at this time was coming down the stairs aft er h im with knife in his right hand and a candlestick and candle in 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) followed him and gave him into the custody of a police m a n . Policeman Denis Donovau, 48 L, said, when the pri soner was given into his charge he asked him why he stabbed the young man with a knife, and he replied, "Because I bad nothing else to defend myself with; I bad neither gun nor pistol, and I was obliged to fly to an edged weapon. The witness here produced two knives, one of which ho found on the prisoner, and the other in the room, covered with blood. The prisoner, whose mind is evidently afftcted, and who offered nothing in defence, Was fully committed for Thomas Rose , a clerk to the South• Western Railway Company, was fully committed for trial on a charge of falsifying his accounts and embezzling the moneys of the company.

GLASGOW CATTLE MAnic , T, JAN. 22.—At our market to-day the numbers were—exan, 1,005; sheep, 1371. Owing to the 'ergo supply of cattle and the depressed state of the dead market sales were dull. Best ox beef, 445; current, 425; inferior, 34e t) 403. At theelc.sea clearance was not effected, although the supply of sheep was ma il. Sales wore very dull, barely last wei k' s Best mutto a n, c. t r l 4 ; ucurrent, sd; prices boiag obtained. At the clone 1 ewes, 4d to 4 id.ws net effected. CORK, JAN. 23, Wi t h o ut very W much activity ia the trade, our m a rk e t ' with an up war d tendency for - i f e St. much firmness, m m a o u s s i descriptions of grain. The operations sine© our last, however , have n o. been very extensive. We hav e had rather numerous artivdts of grain from abroad, but the settings having fully kept pace with them, we cannot report any extraordinary addition to cur stocks here. The receipts of home grain have been moderate; the supply for the week being:—Whrat, 948 brls at 16s to 21s 9d per brl; barley, 1.485 brla at 10s 6d to 12s 4d per brl; oats, 5,556 brls at 93 to 103 6,1 per brl. The value of both wheat and barley is firmly maintained, indeed an upward tendency is manifested in each. White oats are ld to 2cl per barrel dearer on the week, but black are unchanged. The business passing in foreign wheat has not been extensive, but holders aro flip], and demand higher prices, which as yet, we believe they have cnly partially surcee(led in obtaining. Wo do not, therefore, alter our quotations of last week. Piime barley, grind ing as welt as mcdting, is scarce, and prici s tend up ward. We have a demand for oats from the Channel, but on th spot we have no business pcssicg in the article, the value of which is as last .noted. We con tinue to experience a steady consumptive sale for floor, at an improvement of fully 6cl 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 2s 6d to 5s per ton over our quotations of last week. We believe this improveteent is owing mainly to the fact that, in London at present the va!tie 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 hero is exempt from. We quote the value of the best Gelatz 71 per ton. barrels.
