The subject is not one promising inuch of interest or entertainment, but nothing is hoiseless in the hands of a man of skill and genius, and L ,rd nihon enforced and illustrated his motion in a singularly eloquent and interesting speech. As his Lordship, by the confession of all, exhausted the subject, it can scarce!) , be necessary to refer to the other speeches of the night. Lord Mithon's arguments were not answered by any one'; his p3sitiolis sere admitted to be indisputable; but tnrd Jahn Russ e ll said that the subject is a difficult subject to deal with, and therefore he moved the previous question. The House, however, would not allow the wetter to be disposed of in this way—the previous question was rejected, and Lord Mtihon's resolution, condemnatory of tie practice of the pre sent Government, was adopted.

Hume on the Savings Bank fund in the House la.,t night. It is well known that the for. but sale; cf stock by the G,ivernment broker have been on account of the savings Banks, the Government - having given these. institivins Exchequer -Ws in lieu cf stock, which is a snore marketable security. The large quan tity of Exchequer bills which have thus accumulated in the saving-bank the CL-vernment, it is believed, now intend to fund, if indeed they have Lot funded part cf it already, and the rt.:de:tient resp.,vitin,,, the funding by the Chancell r of the Es clfquer is interpretea on the stock exchange as referring to an operation f this kind. 'lite braers would of mune prefer the Goverement to come penly into the market for a l .an, svhen a deficiency is felt, and this secret augmentation of t e fended debt is i egarded with much jealousy and since by an uncerizinty as to the quantity of existing suck flair operations' are nvces erily embarrass. - d, not to men'ion that their profits are mate' ially interfeted with. It has of en - .been said, ant now seems likely to be verified, that the power en to any finance Minister by the Saving Bank Acts is of by far art it esponsible a character, and that it may lead hereafter to enormous abusra,almost beyond the power of Parliament it to control, CHRONICLE —Money has been in some demand to-day on the Stock Exchange, as much as five and even six per cent. having been given upon stock, ant the funds have, in con,e (pence, given way nearly per cent. since yesterday. The discus ion in the blouse of Commons last night between Mr. _Hume and the Chan.-ellor of the Exchequer, regardlng the ranney belonging to the National Savings Bank, has bt-cn the Isakiect of consi.t.mable attention. We understand the answer given by Mr. Faring in substance to have been, that be had avai ed himself of the Savings Bank moneys to supply some deMICil3 in the public trea-ury, but to no very greA extent, and that he intenucd to repay whatever amount he might ulti mate yrequ:re by a funding or creation of stock. In the ease to which he referred as the most recettt precedent, I.ord .11ont reagic reilaced what he hat borrowed by a funding of Exche quer Bills. but, in as far as we can cote& what Mr. Baring said, he seemed inclined rather to repl.ce the stock directly, by a similar creation to the required amount. The course indi cated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer is, therefore, more in favour of the I-tome Securilies than if he had came to, ward with a loan Lr funding oF Ext-hequer lilts, and the money of the s wings bank b..in ; .; ab,olutely lent at a fixed rate of inter. st to the Government, under an Art if Parliament, is fairly at .his disposal for Government use. As, however, we may thus look forward, f em time to time, to the influence of repeated sodes of Money St , .ck for Government account, an occasional tlatacts in the market may be expected, and a want of corfi eteoce in the operators for a farther advtnce until our affairs with the United States are in a better train of adjustment. POST.—The admission made last night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer of GOVerLlll , •nt having been using the funds of the Savings' Banks to replace the deficiency in the income of the country, although there Wilt , no doubt upon the subject in the minds of our well-informed men of business, produced a de (line of ,i- per cent. its the permanent securities, and about 9.5. in Exchequer it Es.

This being the day - fixed for the final examination of the bankrupt, a number of creditors were present, and proof of debts was admitted for upwards of 40,0001., permission having been obtained from the Court of Review to admit proofs upon the joint estates of Garry and Curtis, of Tekenhouse-yard ; Garry, Curtis, and Hay, merchants of Riga; and the separate estate of the bankrupt. From the separate bal :nce-sheet of Mr. Curtis it appears that his debts are about 49,0001., and his liabilities 39,0001., and his estimated assets 10,0001. Mr. J. Russell appeared in support of the claims of two dif ferent classes of persons, for Sir W. Curtis and Mr. Shiffeer, as trustees under the marriage settlement of the bankrupt, and also for Robarts, Curtis, and Co., the bankers. The latter firm had a private as well as a partnership account with the bankrupt, and their claim was 10,4121. 9s. 3d., against his separate estate, having previously made a lowance fir the pro ceeds of Bank Stock cf his, which they held, and which was sold at the market price of the day, together with four policies of insurance, which were valued at 1,6001. by certain auctioneers, but which the offices valued at 2,1001., and which were allowed for by Robarts and Co. to that amount. Besides the claim against the bankrupt's sepa rate estate, the hank , rs had a claim against Garry and Curtis for 6,250/. 12s. 10d., they holding Portuguese boiids for such an amount as reduced their debt to the amount he had just stated. They also held bills to the amount of 10,7701. Upon these flets there was no dispute, and the 'sales of stock, &c., which had taken place were with the entire consent of the assignees. With respect to the °tier claim, it was one made by tru ties upon two different bonds , relating to the marriage settlement of the bankrupt, s s far back as the year 1809. In that year Mr. Curtis married a lady of the name of Green, who was possessed of 3,6001. in the '1 hree per Cent. Consols, a further sum of 6,0001., and an expected legacy of 2,0001. Nothing, however, would now turn on the latter sum, as the bankrupt had never received it. A pwer was given to the trustees to hand these sums over to the bank rupt upon his giving a bond for their repayment, and in the October following the marriage the money was handed over, and a bond for its repayment, with interest, was duly executed, but no interest was ever paid. Mr. Ilagshawe opposed the proof, but after much discussion it was admitted. Mr. Russ Em. said the next claim was also by trustees upon a bond for 5,000/., which was given in settlement up; n the bankrupt's wife, but with a power also given to the trustees to hand it over again to the bankrupt, upon his giving a fresh bond t., repay it with interest. The money always remained due upon the original bond, but, because it was 20 years old, he understood it was to be contended that it should not, there fore, be now proved, as amongst parties who were strangers to each other that doctrine had certainly been held, but not in cases like the present, where the party making the bond was to have the interest accruing upon it. A claimant appeared to prove for 100 guineas as a deposit left with the bankrupts, but it was adjourned for further inquiry. Amongst the debts proved in the course of the day was one by the Bank of England for 17,3614 8:;. 6d. ; by Morris; and Co. (two debts), 8,9001. ; and by Robarts and Curtis for snms of 9.8361. 19s. and 6,250/. 11s., and many others for very con siderable amounts. The bankrupt, having sworn to his schedule, was then de clared to have passed his final examination. he balance sheet of the separate est3te of Timothy Abra ham Curtis, from Jan. 1, 1889, to Feb. 1, 1841, v, as then handed in by Mr. Wryghte, as follows, from which it appeared that the debts amounted to 106,6921. 15s. 2d. The following is the state of the accounts on the creditor's side : Debtors (bad) carried to losses £6,660 0 0 Property exclusive of debts 8,630 0 0 Property in hands of creditors holding Securities Losses Expenses Liabilities per contra Amount to ba'ance 47 Iti 10 106,692 15 2 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Mallen 24. ( Before Mr. Commissioner NscuoLLs ) IN RE JOHN DENTON. The insolvent in this case was a lieensed victualler carrying on business in Northampton-street, Clerkenw ell. It appeared f. om the evidence the insolvent was about disposing of his business, and in order to raise the value of the house by exhibiting. a large quantity of stock, he borrowed the sum of 2201. from a friend, with which a quantity of gin and other liquors were purchased. This person finding that other creditors were about coming upon the insrlvent for the &mantis, caused an execu tion to be immediately issued against his property, which was accordingly done wth as litt!e delay as possible, although through a wish not to cause the immense sacrifice which wou!d occur by a sheriff's sale, the attorney engaged to wait for three weeks, in order that the goods might be disposed of by private contract. Air. COOKE, in supporting the insolvent's discharge, ob served, that in all eases like the present the brewers and dis tillers invariably got" the lion's share," and moved heal en and earth to punish parties who interfere with their rights. The Learned COMMISSIONER recapitulated the facts of the case, and then ordered the insolvent is be discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIG CF. OXFORD CIRCUIT—SHREWSBURY, MARCH 22. The Co:nm7ssion of Ass:ze for the Southern Division of Lancashire was ol , ened here on Saturday last. The Learned Judges did not arrive until late last evening. This morning, after having attended Divine Service, their Lordships proceeded to the Castle, and took their seats in their respective Courts, Mr. Baron Rolfe presided en •he Civil Side; and Mr. Justice' Maule in the Crown Court. The business on the Criminal Side is light, with the exception of four prisoners charged'with murder, one with killing and slaying, and one with cutting and maiming. Twenty-two causes are entered on the Civil Side, none of which have a Special Jury. The cases disposed of to-day were of a trifling nature. TUESDA r, MI NCH 23. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF MR: staexamt. CROWN COURT.—Before Mr. Baron GURNEY. Josiah Mister was indicted for cutting and wounding William Alißer Mackreth, at Ludlow, on the 20th day of August last, with intent to murder Lim. There were f,ur other counts in the indictment, charging the intent to be to maim, tii,figure, or d.sible, or do some grievous bodily harm to the said William Aliiler Alackreth. • Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, Mr. Godson, and Mr. Neale, con ducted the case for the prosecution ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. F. V. Lee. Mr. sergeant Lunnow stated the case to the Jury, and,ar ter some iiiirodue+ory remarks, said it seemed that the prisoner at the bar was at Shrewsbury on the 12th of August. having ascertained that a person of the name of Ludlow, who was a ( att:e- dealer at Biro - die:ham, would be at Shrewsbury fair. He not only ascertained that, but he also found out that Mr. Ludlow pot up at an inn called the Unicorn in that town. He further ascertained the bed-room in which Mr. Ludlow u•ually slept, but it happened that the inn being full at the time, 3.1.. Ludlow slept in a double-bedded room. A person of the name of Jobson was alto at Shrewsbury in the com pany of Mr. Ludlow, and the prisoner having quartered him self pretty much on Mr. Ludlow, had an opportunity of hear ing a meeting appointed between Mr. Ludlow a n d M r . Jolson at Ludlow-fair. Without going through the details, he should show tit .t on the 19th of August he was in Ludlow, and that. he vent down to the bridge to inquire at what time the Red Rover coach came iii from Birmingham. When the Red Rover did arrive, the prisoner, who was waiting about, instantly darted off and followed the coach. Mr. Ludlow was inside, and on getting out he was instantly joined by the prisoner, who followed him into the eon, Inert:jai-1 - o nvi at the Angel, and that so closely, that the people of the inn thought they were companions, and they had been together, Mr. Ludlow remaking, "You are the 3oung man 1 saw at Shrewsbury." There was a person of the name of Maekreth then saying at the Angel, a traveller for the firm of Christopher, George, and Co., of Bristol, who was in the commercial-room at the time. He went out in the course of the evening, and did not return till ten o'clock. Mr. Ludlow had gone into another room, and was absent some time. The prisoner went up stairs, lighted by the chambermaid, to his room in the inn, which was de signated by the numb, r 20. Now, it was a curious cir cumstance, and how the prisoner acquired his knowledge of it he did not know, that No. 17 was the bedroom which for three or four years had been usually occupied by Mr. Ludlow. On the night in question, however, that bedroom was occupied by Mr. Mackreth. The prisoner was accom panied, as he ciad said, by the chambermaid, who, en leav ing him, shut the door. No. 17 was a room on the lop of the stairs, with a door on the right hand of a person going up, arid' thi:ie' was a passage leading from that room to the bedrooni . beCupied by the pri-oner, No. 20. About half an h ti o r u c r um af ,t te a :, ,.e th w e hie c h ham w b o e u r id mai a d pp conducted Mr Mackreth to they would give such effect as his bedroom, and he locked the door. There was a to his bedro om ear the i y n th ev n i i el T e h n t ee fit to an ‘ d vhie n h o more. When the chambermaid conducted the prosecutor cornrert a te s she noticed that the door of the prisoner's bedroom was not quite closed. lie mentioned it for this reason, that _quite clear that the person, whoever it was that into his !lis act, was at the time of Mr Mack reth's:going person to bedroomfo rce and locking his door, concealed under the bed. Nsa wai r ee m. 7 l :s employed to break open the h w a i v n e do n w b , ta a i n n d e d i t ad m in . door, and to entry t t o he im possible therefore fora unless he had concealed himself under sub sequent examination also of the Boor asfssior the bed. On a oor of the room there we clear and p al p able marks un der the bed of th e fi re person in the dust. This was the gure of a introdu c t ory part of the case to that which happened don the morning of the 20th. On that Mr. morning, about 4 o clock,. . Mackreth was suddenly awakened, and the situation in is which he then found himself dreadful to think of. H nee I was cut throu I, and the war wa_ fallen in ; he bad a so a severe gash across the throat was . ~ .rther injuries. As was to be expected, mouth, and some '- c ' tiusiod of blood. The prosecutor made there was a great ed out of bed on the right side, and a.' exclamation, and j ' umP •k by some one on the left, the p ro _ in doing so was pulled back by some one on the left, the pro_ torn in th e . stt 142 gle. The person, there. secutor's shirt being torn i the left-hand side th be, d fore, whoever it was, was on gen tlemen of who e wou d ld an be they would hear from the medicali,:llh:ted pros uts drawn from examined, that the wounds were , he ecutor, notwdh ihe right-hand towards the "f.' s hich he was, and although standing the awful situation in 1 . ' f an instant lost never or - he shortly became unable to speak, r did n his presenae of mind. The prosecuto r erot pretend to son who coin say that he had an y reco g nitien ofthePsay whether it rn itted the act, and the Jury would therefore was the prisoner or riot, from the circumstances of the case. The prosecutor, i , havino• found himself in the sit uation which rush to the 'he had described, on being puled back, male a ,_ . , window and was unable to pull it up, but ho dashed his hand through ' the glass, and called out " file." He did the same thing a. ageond time, for the purpose of making himself more - -ei tt edy heaol Afterwards, hearing some person going u ''' .- •••• he treat t 9 4i,c. door of his room and found it un down sten _, and up again, am. He then;turnin4 to the left, went down locked and open. ' the stair;; issero ro, f y naturally de stairs,.--vesfidets of the landlord ;Tit Urged with blood. The first im,.. . but beers 'laying the inmates was, that the prosecutor • • -.1 by theta ,iolent h an d s on himself, and he was induct... • --it. to go upstairs into his bed-room. The Learned Serjea..., after stating the conduct pursued by Mr. Mackreth, on getting into his bed-room, went on to say that. a person of the name • of Peach, who lived in the neighbourhood. being attracted to the house, and his attention excited by the blood ; and having THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1841 found the stairs quite wet with it, and seeing that there was 1 a passage leading from them, examined the floor of that pas sage. Along the floor of that passage, from the door of the prosecutor's room, up to the very door and door sill of the room occupied by the prisoner, the pa-sage was wet h drops of fi esh blood, not like thei blood occasioned by the !prosecutor's going down stairs, but small drops of blood. This was immediately after the alarm had been given, and before Mr. Peach knew that the prisoner was even in the house. During the time that Mr. Crawford, a medical gen tlernan' Who was at the house at th e ti me , w as engaged in g iving his attention to the prosecutor, the prisoner was seen not less than four times about the passage, and once he even came into the prosecutes bed-room. He would now pro ceed to state what was the condition of the bed-room whit h the prisoner occupied. The chambermaid had left him with a candle about three inches long; the room was furnished with a basin, a large jug full of water, a napkin, and a vessel which was generally to be found in a bed-room. The candle was burnt down to the socket. The napkin was missing, and had never been found to this hour. The water jug was found entirely empty, and its contents were in the utensil referred to, impregnated with alum. There was a window in the prisoner's bed-room, which was partly overhung by the curtain of the bed. This window looked into a yard belonging to a Mr. Wat mere, and he would observe that on the curtain which covered part of the window some blood was found, ns,t a drop of blo d but impressed by the act of touch. The sh:rt, also, which the prisoner wore had marks of blood cn it, p rticulaily a spot on the arm, a great I art of which had been extracted by suc tion or some other means. The wound inflicted on the pro secutor was by some sharp cutting instrument, and about six in the morning a black-handled razor was found, not set, ex actly opposite the room occupied by the prisoner ' partially wiped, but still wet with blood. Streit a razor would be proved to have been in the prisoner's possession. There were some lucifer-matches and sand-paper - found under the prosecutor's bed, and the prisoner would be shown to have had some in his possession before he came to Ludlow, while none wc.e found upon him when he was searched. The Learned Sergeant called witnesses to prove his case, thirteen of wheals were examined, and the fourteenth, Mr. Lud!ow, was under examination when our express left. One witness, an interesting lad named Beddow es, who was at the taking of a wasp's nest on the Saturday before Ludlow fair, stated, that while the boys were engaged in taking the nest, Misters came up, took up a spade and drove it three times into the nest. Ile afterwards took out a lucifer match, and said, " This is the thing to decide it." He did not light the match at all. After holding the Incifir match between his finger and thumb, he put it in his pocket. Susan James, chambermaid at the inn, proved that she left a napkin in the room the previous night, and next morning it was missing. Mr. Head, an architect, who was examined as to the con struction of the room, said the light in the prisoner's room could not be seen unless The door was open. Tne distance be tween the exterior wall of the Angel Inn and the spot where the razor was found in Whatmore's yard was 28 feet. Mr. Ludlow, on examination, related several circum stances which occurred on his meeting with the prisoner at the Unice ro Inn, Shrewsbury, on the day of the tai-, and also at the Angel, at Ludlow, at which ion he had slept in Ne. 17, fur two years (the room in which Mr. Mack nth slept on the Light when he was att :eked). Mr. Win. Maekreth was rex - examii.ed, and gave his evidence as follows:—I was traveller in August last. to the house of Christopher George and Co. of Bristol. On the 19th of August I got into the Angel Inn, at Ludlow, about five in the aft, moor, and had te. I travelled to Ludlow in a gig, and had a diving-box wi h sue. I west into the commercial room and had tea. Some persons came in after the arrival of the coach and bad t ,a. I went into a private room up stairs to transact some busi ness-with Mr. Bradford. I went there about ten and re - - mained for about three-quarters of an hour, or perhaps an hour. I afterwards took a walk to the top cf the street and down:gain, and then rctnrned to the commercial room, which was empty. I rang the bell and ordered the boots to bring slippers and. charnt ermaid a candle. I tool: the drlving box up stairs with me. I occupied the room No. 17. at the top of the stairs. I west- most positively that I locked the door, for . I examined the leek. I w e nt to bed but ci I riot look uncle: the bed. I was asleep in about two minutes. When I awoke I found my hand in a wound in my neck. I cried out " Good God what is all this?" when 1 felt the raw ft•sh. I attempted to rise, but a hand from the I.sft pressed Lee down on the pillow. 1 shrieked out, and believe that when I did so tr e wound across my face was inflicted. In trying to get oet of bed on the right side I was pulled back by the left shoulder. The cut across the mouth also cut my thumb. My weigh', which was on the edge of the bed, carried me down to the floor with the bed clothes. I went to the bed-room win dow and made an alarm. I broke a pane of glass and called out " Fire murder I" I broke a second pane of glass and heard people run down stairs from above. 'l%:e blind was down within four inches of the bottom of the window, and I had no light to see an) t!.it.g I groped round the room and at last reached the door. I did not hear arty noise in the room then, but when ge.t 7 ng cut of bed I beard a rustle at the left, whit h is the side next the door. The door was opened about four inche s. and when I reached it I saw a little light, and thought I hca-d, people down stria. The stairs arc to the le f•. I went down them, and never turned to the right. I am positive of this. I went down stairs. holding by the bannisters, as far as the kitcheo door, I saw the post-boy and Mr. Cooke. Tire lat'e' said "Go up stairs : what hsve you done ?" I went up stsi , s, and paused a short time at my door. After I bad gat in I beard some persons say " Who is he ?" and, not being aYe to speak, I went to my r'r vino. box anti took out my cards, and showed them. I never lost any senses all the tin.e, but understood all that was said. After my wounds were dressed I noticed a person, who I learn was the pri soner, at the led certain, laughing and exhiLi ing grsat levity t f conduct. He said " I have lost my stick ! g.— have any of you seen my stockings ?" Ile wits laughing st the time. I was seine time under medical cai 0. Cross class i see.—When awakened I felt the blood too upon me. I did r,ot know whs.t I tt:uck against .112 n I felt the wound—wl,celer it was part of a nun's ere a or no'. I heard a m i.e from tl e room over head. Tho stairs adjoin No. 17 1 cannot say if ti e partition is rsco-i. I stood for ,ome time by the door. Mr. Cooke, the landlord, *as probably the first person % entered the room sfte.-tthe assault. I was in no c lion to re cognise any one particularly. Before Mr. Peach or AI-. Cross came in, I ant not sure if Mr. Crawford, had ren dered me assistance and left the room. I became fa;nt and exhausted, and Leld out my hands for help, and Mr. Peach assisted me. MrP. Cooke. wife to Mr. Cooke, of ti e Angel Le, Ludlow, examinee—Mr. C. ii in an infirm stat.,: his mind is disordercd : he is not capable t 3 attend to give cvldence. Mr. Caoke's deposition was then read as follows : Edward Cooke sworn—l am landlord of t!.e Angel lon in this toter. I was in bed, and awoke yesterday morn ing ; I sleep fronting the street ; sen c ;iate about four o'cleck, as near as I can say, I was alarmed by the break ing of penes cf glass, and a cry t f fire in a faint or broken voice ; my wife went to one window loeking down the pH, and I threw up ti.e window luoki g into the s•r e et and I cried "fire ;" I thee instan•ly an dee n stirs in my shirt as I way.

Samuel Paget, post-boy at the Angel ; Wm. Roberts, • boots; Edward E ton, ostler; George Brown, servant to Mr. Bayley, bankes; John Cioss, unman; and Thomas Peach, shoemaker ; who were all present shortly after the alarm, related a number cf circumstances in accordance with Mr. Cooke's deposition.

I believe Mr. Mackreth could not h ave gone along the pa sage to the right without the blood having spirted ':gain-t the wall, which was the case in going down staffs to ti left. The mark was about two feet from t! le window. The window opened easily. Saw a place in Mr. Wha•- more's yard where the razor was found. It was exactly opposite the prisoner's bedroom. I saw the water jug empty, and the 'lops in the chamber utensil. This was about seven o'clock, after the prisoner bed left the roorr. I examined the fluid in the utensil, and tasted it ; it aa3 mixed w jib alum. I have maie several experiment..., and find that alum will take the stains of blood out of cloth. Between nine and ten o'clock I examined the prisoner's shirt; it was very dirty ; th2re were narks of blood on the hack and two on the sleeve; on the right sle._ve v marks of blood which aneareti to have b•en p.t: t ally washed cr sucked. I saw the prisoner swathe and a piece of alum found. He had oily about twopc ce in his pockets. I saw under the prosecutot's bed m oks c f a person having laid down beneath it.

When the window was open in Vie psssai. e, I found it impossible to throw anything in the position where the Jaz :r was found; there is not sufficient p ay lbetween ti.c bars of the window to throw Royal 'g to that place. Mr. Thomas JAson was at f.;e Ar.gel.irn, Ludlow, on the 19th of August ; was awoke about four o'clock in the morning by a cry of " Fire Looked out of t! ewi dow int) the yard but saw no one time; must have seen Gen) if there had teen any one there.

He afterwards said i.e walked f rim Worcest r to Ludlow and back from Ludlow to Wm ff ton, intending to go to Leominster, but he ch mud his mind, and came hack by t' e Rcd Rover to Lu'rliow. Mr. VALENTINE LEE then addiessed the Jury for the prisoner at great lergth, commenting on the evidence, and pointing out sr venal circumstance a which oug'nt t deeirie the Jury in bringing in a v riict of not guilty. Ile concluded by quoting Lord Hole's a l der ism—that it was better that nicety-nine gui . ty persons 'should tsc•is e thao one innocent man shi;uld suffer—and earnestly entreated thc Jury to give their verdict with caution and cate if they bad any doubt:, law, justice, and religion, demanded a terclict of not guilty. . His LORDSHIP then summed up the evidence, and coal, mented upon ditfe ent points of it. Ile remarked that M. Ludlow was et idently t to obje, t of the pt isoner's pursui tteo blood had been continuously traced from Mr. M.to.k. reth's room to 11 it'Anan it.e'a or two of the doors f No. 20 and tkat Itere was a smeAr of blood son the curt tin in thet ro-m, on a lice with tke win,low. Mr. Cooke hod ad mitted tha', as the p isoncr stood near the wounded in ,n. some bhicol migt.t hv • got upon his skirt. Toe t itFiroi y f the case, was ate ther blood had been upon his shirt and washAl out. Alum would do io and alum had been found in the prisoner's po;sesd,n. Time was the strongest ire,unaption that the dted had been comm tted with the bloody razor found in Wbatmore's aril. This razor might have been thrown out of dim window, for it was found 28 feet from the prisoner's iodow and 35 lett from the passage window. Lordship did not attach much importance to the find:l.g of the tttckings; but thought it extraordinary how the prisoner could have lost his. The question was who but the prisoner could hive committed the duo t ? Every person in the home, except Mr. Cooke, who was unable to api eiir, had been examined. It eas a'rnceo impossible it could Lave teen done by any person but one au inmate of the house at the Vine. Tte person must have been concealed under Mr. Mackrt th's I e and got out by uubotting . the door.—His Ler.biip observed t.. at the prisoner's tricking Mr. Ludicev gate ground for strung susp:ci in. The at,le Counsel who pleaded for the plisoner had not been able to truce any innocent motive by which the prisoner could be &dant rd. He concluded by saying Ih±t he agrtei with Lord Hete, that tie first and most slued duty of Justice was to [ro:e.t i noceaci, but its r. ext a'ion was to detect and punish guilt.

After some turther observations of a similar character, the Grand Jury were dismissed to their duties. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—Robert Fuller, a oung nras respectably dressed, was capitally indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Elizabeth Fuller, his wife, with intent to murder her. Mr. Burrell appe - .red on behalf of the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson eerended V.e prisoner. The circamstances cf the case were of a very extra ordinary character. It appeared that the erisoner bad only been married to Lis wife a few months when the idea of her berg unfa;thful to hien entered into his imeginstion, and the affection he before appeared to est, rutin for her seemed to be turned to the deadliest bet e He continually ill-treated her, and he threa.eatd that if she told any one he would murder her, and t is threat had the effect of pre venting her friends from being made acquainted with his conduct. Thiegs went on in this way uct 1 the 24th of Novemher, when the prisoner returned home about tea-time, evidently in a very exeit - id• state, and he immediately took two pokers, ars' went int) his bed-route. His wife followed him, but the had no sooner got into the room than he secured the door, and in a few minutes he a'tacked her w.th one cf the pokers, fel:ea her to the vround, and with a knife slit one of her ears, and inflicted a severe wound on the tile of her bead. The unhappy young woman strug g led as well as she could, but at length she fell se iseless across the bed, and covered with blood. By this time the neighbours were alarmed, and they ran to the spot; but ti e prisoner declared that he would murder the first who en tered, and they all stood aloof, alarmed at the dreadful thrests be uttered. While they were standing outside the roam, the I.,oner was heard to sob violenely, and to kiss his wife, and say, " Come, and kiss me, Bess; I know you are innocent—come int) my arms and die." The pe. vets outside begged the prisoner to let them in, but be c!ec!a ed he would murder the first who entered, unless his wife said that he was wrong ; upon which the pour worn m etalled out, in a faint tone, " You are wrong, Robert." 11., then o; eat d the door, and, when the people went in, be fell senseless to the ground, apparently completely ex- I armed by the violence of his feelings. His poor vile was in a most dreadful cond tion—one of her ears was crempletely din led, and her head was wounded, and her body bruised most severely, and a bent poker, wilt which the blows had been iuleted, was found in the room covered with Lleod. The prisoner was secured, and the wife's condition was considered so . precarious, that a Magistrate atended at her bed-side the next day to take what she tnig:it say as a dying Ueelaration. After a month's confinement, however, the injuries took a favourable turn, ands' e was now stated to be almost entirely recovered. Waen tie case was called or, Mr. CLARKSON sa'd that he appesre4. on ',chaff of 111:i unhappy man at the be-, and upon looking at the depositions Le saw that the utmost he could here to (IT, ct was to shi:ld him from being con sisted of the capital charge. It was a melancholy ca. e, certainly, and he brheved that the act must have been committed under impressions which the Prisoner was now e:1 aware were quite erroneous. He had, however, no doubt cammitte l a grave offence, and the best that could be done in his behalf was to consent to a conviction for a most aggravated assault, but he hoped the Court would allow him to state that notwithstanding what had occurred, the prieiner'a wife pra3ed that a lenient sentence miibt. be pistol upon him, and where he regaieed his liberty she would be quite ready to lire vri.b him rg dn. Laid DENMAN said I:e had looked o,t the depoti iens and it appeared to him to be a most drea 'fel case, If the prosecutrix thought that a verdict of as:aelt only might be taker, he would not object to it, but still it would be a case calling for severe punishment. Mr. CI.ARKSJN said the prisoner ought to feel deeply grateful for the course proposed to be adopted. He could off r nothing further on his behalf, and upon a conviction fsr assau t must Lave the case entirely is the Lands of tie Cour'. The Jury then found the prisoner Guilty of an aggra vated assau:t. • Lord DENMAN Fa' , .d it was a %e•y bad ease, and he must take tirk.c to consider vih.t judgment should be passed upon the prisoner. James . Henty, rged 24, labourer, surrendered to !a 7 .:e his trial up-in an indictment chiugi rg h;m with ere thughte.• f William . Toe prisoner pleaded Not Guilty," and the trial was about to be proceeded wr.h when Lord DENMAN (xpressed his op'nion that the prisoner had bette' retract Li. plea and plead Guilty, as his Lordship sad be saw by the repositions tuet e case was not of a character that would cal for any severe punishment. His Lordship went on to say that it appeared that the prisoner and demised I:al tem drinking t , gether at a public-house, and when they went out, by sorr.c means or other, not clearly asccrtaioe.l, a quarrel and fight took pl;ce between them ; but it ap pearel that the deceased was most to blame in the trabszc tion, and that he had provoked the prisoner to act as he did in figating with him. He should, therefore, under all the circumstances, order the prison. r to be discharg 'd, upon payir g a fine cf ls. FORGERY ON TILE BANK OF ENGLAND.

William Davies, William Mumford, alias Sias, John Evans, and John Lloyd, were indicted roe burglary in the house of Rebecca Bedtioes, at Minion, in the parish of Church S.ret too, in, this county, on the night of the 25th of November last, and stealing therefrom five guineas, 90 sovereigns, two silver watches, and other articles. Davies pleaded guit y. The prasecuirix is an old widow lady, upwards of eighty years of age, rt siding with her two sons upan their faint at Minion. Ih, prisoners are all of them colliers, in the neigh b.,uriicod of Pilston, which is thirty-five miles nom Minton; but abeut a year ago Mumford had worked for some time in the neighbourhood of the Bosse of the proseetitrix, and his per son was known to her sons. On the night- mentioned in the indictment the dour of Airs. Beddoes's room was opened, and Davies, who appeared to act as. ringleader, entered With an axe in his hand, while two others, whom the two Beddues dis tinctly swore were .bumf led and Lloyd, sto id at the door, the former having in his hand a pistol, the latter a bludgeon and a lantern. Alumfitrd presm.ted a pistol, and said, 6' Stud back, or l'il bow your brains out." They inflicted no per sonal violence upon any one, and left the house about eleven o'ciock. Upon going down stairs, it was found that the cup board had been rubbed of five guineas, and more than ninety soveragns, besides two old-fashooned watches, and two pocket - - hooks belonging to the sons, a ham of bacon, and a eioak be longtng to the niece. The next morning infarmation of the outrage was given to the police, who apprehended Davi-s in a beer-,hop at- Bilston, at eieyen o'clock at night, and found in his posse ssion a watch, Sac., which James Beddoes clearly id,ntified as his property. Mumford and Evans were taktn the next day in company ; a tobacco box belonging to George Brddoes was found in his pocket, and in the bosom of Evans's wife was f ,und a pocket-book, which was - also clearly identi fied by the same p . l6son, and which contained a guinea and a sovereign. The fourth prisoner, Lloyd, was apprehended the next night in his own house at Wolverhampton, and beneaih the pillow of his bed was found the other watch belonging to the prosecutrix. In the Arcs: of his child were also found six sovereigns wrapped in paper. From Ins wife we ie taken a lair t f bouts, which exactly corresponded with the footmarks ob served by Lewis, a leaden model of wl ich was produced ha Court, and a draping of the impression made by the smile policeman. The cloak of the prosecutor's niece was also fou is Lloyd's house. It was also shown that the four pristine's, in company with Pugh, were seen within three or four miles of Mr. Beddoes' house,on the evening previous to the robbery. Mr. NeAer addressed the JUry for Mumford and Evans, and the Jury without a moment's hesitation found them all Guilty. Davies, upon being called on to say why judgment should no:: he given against him, said, " The Lord tad delivered him to speak the. truth when he came into Court, and that they were all there together." Mr. Baron GURNEY severally sentenced them to transpor'- ati,n for life ; afterwards ordering a reward of 20/. to be paid to Lewis the policeman, and 10/. and 5/. to the two policemen, who had assisted him in tracing the prisoners. Mary Ann Wright, Elizabeth Wright, and George Wright were indicted for the wilful murder of a male bastard child of the prisoner Mary Ann Wright.

THE CITY POLICE COMMIS,IONER AND THE CITY PO LICE FOECE.-Alr. Commissioner Harvey appeared yestet day at the Mansion-house toed! the atteatien of the Lord Mayor to a report which api cared in the Satailard Lows paper of Tuesday moraieg, under the he td of " Guildhall Police." In that report there were observations stated re have been made by the presiding 'Magistrate, Alderman Thomas Wood, which reflected most unmerited reproach upon the City police force as a body, were unjust towards the City Police Commissioner, and calculated to impair his author icy as Commission er, and to excite most injuri ous doubts as to the general efficiency of the body. The LORD NIATOP, with whom Alderman Wilson was sitting at the time, said, that as the observations of which the City Police Cenintissioner complained had teen •re presented to have been trade in the public office, he could have no objection to hear the gentlemen who complained of there, particularly as they referred to so important a subject es the conduct et the force. The Police Commissioner said that hr should not trouble Lis Lordship with tile facts cf the case, although he underetocd they vac.e abundau lv capable of vie dicati en nor should lie trouble his - Lordehip Si )1 ary remarks vrleit vett, if the language ref orted to have been used hid fallen from Mr. Thomas Wood as e. simple iudividual cr as an attorney ; but when it was con. sidcred that Mr. Wood eas a member of the Court of Aldetrren, a candi ime for the Civic Cha'r, presiding at the time us a Magistrate in a Court of Jus'ice, and also Charman of the Police Committee, it would at once be pereched that aly observations coming untL r such cir cumstances would not fsil t produce the effect he de scribed. The renew ks themselves were as unbecoming in let gunge as they were unwarrareed by the position of the indiv dual who bad uttered them. If the Corporation ge nerally, or the Court cf Aldermen, had any just ground to complain of the police fl; a Municipal Iretitution, or with the Commissioner intrusted with its direction, a course was open at once honourable and effectual. and so fir from shrinking from the mina e t ineMry into the general state of the City Police, or (f its tea agement, he declared that nothing would gnat fy him so much as the institution cf such an• inquity. But then, fir the purpose of render ing the inquiry saiefactory to the citizens eat large, whose servant he was I route to c ;nsider himeelfas teams, mad ley whom the great expense of sustaining the police was borne it must not be conducted in a close Court with closed doors. It was the business of the public, and the public bad a right to know what foun dation Mr. Thomas Wood had fur his charge. It ap peared by the Report that a person filling the dignified station cf Magistraee, in speaking of the Stetior-Clerk, called that Clerk an "a, imp]," and described the station house, which he (tee City Police Commissioner) would venture to say had never been visited by the Alderman, as a place of very little crier, and then proceed e d, without having made any communicstian whatever to 'him (the Commissioner), to give it as his opinion, " that the police was badly managed by . the Commissioner, and if he did not receive from the Commissiouer some explanation or assur ance of amendment, he should bring the icefficiency of the force b f ere the Coutt of Alderman." The Commissioner proceeded to observe that he could sppeal to his Lordship, as well as to his respectable coal, ague Alderman Wilson, wham he tem happy to see present, as to his readiness to afford at all times such returns of the state of crime and of the conduct of the City Police as his Lordship was autho rised to req , ire under the City Mice Act. But with ail due defeieace to Alderman Thomas Wood, he did not and should not comider himself amenable to that gentleman to give allia tees tern el "an explanation cr assurance of arnendrnei t." He wished further to remark that he did not doubt ti e readiness of the Court of Aldermen to in stitute y iota the general working of the City Police, or his Inc ividital superintendence, nor did I e for a moment suppose that the inquiry would not be conducted with im• partetay ;led opennese, for he fit happy In the convic tion thet there was not ore other individual cf that body who would have been betraye I into the use of observa tions so ill adapted to the station which he occupied. He should net, however, withhold the declaration that if such inquiry was rot.made, it wool l become the duty, as lie doubted riot it would be the ready disposition of her Majesty's G'overnmeet to move for a Committee to in quire into the City Police, with powers similar to those possessed by the Committee appointed to inquire on a former occasion in ;elation to the state of the Me ropelitan Police. He had had many d:fficulties to encounter, and those difficulties were not yet at an end, some cf them perhaps iteepasable from the very netera of mut itsipt , l in stitutions directly under popular control; still he felt conscicus that the result of the inquiry he solicited would reflect credit upon tee City Police force as a body, and no discredit upon the managetteat of that force. The LORD MAYOR and Alderman WILSON expressed their convxtion that the Court of Aldermen would act v ith the most perfect imparti •lity upon being refe:red to on the subject; and the City Commiisioner intimated his int2e tion to memorialise the Court on next day of meeting.
