MORNING - EDITION. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM Till DAILY PAPERS CF. YESTEIIDAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Mr. Alcock seems to be maki:l - g way in East Surrey. Last night ho addressed - a meeting of Liberal elec tors at the Grove-house, Camberwell. After hearing him at considerable length, a resolution was carried by accla mation, " That Thomas Alcock, Eaq., from his advocacy of the principles of civil and religious liberty, from his avowed determination of voting for a repeal of the Corn laws, and in favour of vote by ballot, from his residence in the county, and hia large landed estates therein, is emi nently entitled to fill such vacancy." Mr. Alcock has been at some pains to state {that hs expectaticns are from a repeal of the Corn-laws. He argues the question like an indep-ndent country gentleman, whose estates are his own, and not mortgagrd to Jews or Gentiles. To a man who is merely a nominal receiver of rents for others (and Sir James Graham—who exaggerated no doubt ....would have it that this character applies to nine tenths of the landowners of England), it is useless to talk of the effect of the repeal as likely to be more nominal than real. In vain you tell him that if he loies something in what he or his tenant sells, he gains, on the other hand, in what he buys. If the fall in prices annihilate the balance of rent over the interest doe to the mortgagee, he fights with desperation against the change. But where a landowner really owes his estates, he will put this question to himself—Can I really be ir.jured by that which must add to the wealth of the country ? Sir Robert Peel, when the question of Corn-laws was last be fore the House of Commons, tcld the landowners that agricultural prosperity was the result of the prospetity of our manufactures, and not of the Corn-laws. No laws can create high prices without an effective demand, and the effective demand is caused by the ability to purchase which a prosperous state of manufacturing industry can alone give. The Emperor of Russia might legislate till doomsday without creating high prices in hia dominions The Hungarian Diet can only prevent an abundant year's corn from being a drug by such measures as may open a foreign market for it. (From the Globe.) The Duke of Nellington's speech last year on the China question produced no small dismay in the Tory comp. The loud clamours about " buccaneering" and the " opium war" were suddenly checked ; and, after a few discontented murmurs, the parties settled down into submission. Hail the Duke required more, those n horn Ire permits to call themselves his followers, would i.ave maintained the wholesomeness of opium, and the tfficithey of the navy. They have again been thrown into consternation by their " great leader's" speech on the Address ; which, differing in spirit, taste, and ten dency from Sir R. Peel's, is highly conciliatory toward France, without compromising the honour or lowering the position of England. The Hon. Baronet was, as we have Already taken occasion to observe, in a very diffe rent situation from that occupied by the Duke of Wel lingt :n. The Duke requires not the aid of party to raise or to maintain his position ; hence he detaches himself with ease from the feeble ties which bind him to its objects ; rises with commanding grandeur and errrgy into the purer regions of patriotism ; and directs all his aims, with singleness of purpose, to the advance ment of his country in the scale of nations. Sir Ro be: t Peel, on the other hand, is nothing without his party. He " lived, n oves, and has his being" in it, arid from it. Deserted by his party, he would settle down into mediocrity, without the power or prospect of again occupying any considerable space in the public eye, or exercising any beyond the most ordinary influence over the affairs of nations. Hence the con cessions which the Hon. Baronet feels himself compelled to make to 1113 party ; and the conflicts which are not unfrequently visible in his speeches, between the prompt ings of his better genius and the hard service imposed on him by those who, not without unmistakeable marks of dislike and impatience, submit themselves to his leadership. The different positions occupied by the two personages explain the marked discrepancy of tone and tendency in their two speeches on Tuesday night. (From the Standard.) We are at some loss to guess what will be the policy of the Ministerial party in the Sesion just commenced. We say, of the Ministerial Tarty, for as to the Minis ters themselves, it is easy to believe that they will do nuthipe; if left to their own free choice ; but like " Col lector Snail—honest man—draw their salary and lash no body." With the party that supports them, how ever, the case is different ; they must be doing, and doing something mischievous too, in order to keep their position, each as an individual, or they perish as a party —their name is " movement." Nothing but the turmoil of popular excitement eau promise to keep afloat he tribe of Wards, Gisbornes, Eccarts, &c., and the rest, who have no personal claims, whether from talent, services, station, or character, to distinguish them from the commonest class of the vulgar ; and even such folk as Messrs. Hume and O'Connell, who have worked their ways up to a certain status, must keep moving, or make up their minds to descend from the bad eminence to which they have attained. The ministers are in the condition of leaders of an unruly host, who ace on one side that to advance is ruin, but on the other, that their hungry and mutinous troops will not, and can not, stand upon their present ground. What is then to be the object of attack this Session by the Ministerial party? The Reform Bill, now the charter of Conservatism, has successfully &feed-them, and grows stranger by every day's succession, and by evert, new attack. The Conservative principle. that resists violent ch ange , because siolcitt change is by itself almost the greatest evil that can befal a country—this principle, by which the R form Bill was so stoutly opposed ten years ago, is now as firmly arrayed upon its side. The BAllot, Universal Suffrage, and all the other assaults upon the Parliamentary Constitution of 183, are fast sinking, notwithstanding the support they received from a divided Cabinet, and the system of open questions. A significant hint, again, has been given as to the danger of further hostile movements agAinst the Church : the late resolution of the Lon don Delegates of Dissenters demonstrates that they who arc best acquainted with the subject, feel that their ranks are thinning, for to no other motive can be ascribed their determination not to allow a census of sectarians, even for the sake of getting rid of the pay ment of Church-rates. The Corn-laws then alone seem to afford any safe ground for the movement. (From the Courier.) Although Lord Melbourne, so far as the Govern ment is concerned, declined yesterday to take any action in the matter, we take it for granted that Parliament must in some way or another interfere in order to settle the very troublesome question which has arisen between the Civil and Ecclesiastical Judicatories of Scotland, and therefore we would remind our readers of the remarks which we offered in the Courier so long ago as No vember 25 tatd 29, touching the Libel or Indictment served upon the seven ministers of Strathbogie. We do not know, of course, in what manner this Kirk question may be brought before the Legislature ; but the libel to which we allude his been pub lished in the Scotch papers, and circulated over the country ; and is a document, as we long ago proved, highly deserving the attention of every man who values the interests of civil and religious liberty. It broadly and unambiguously charges it as a crime ecclesiastical against seven ministers of the Established Church, that they obeyed the law of the land ; and the Commission of the General Assembly, by sustaining the relevancy of this indictment, has proclaimed that such is the constitution of the Church of Scotland that a clergyman may be punished by the highest spiritual and civil censures, for paying respect to such decrees of the Civil Courts as the Ecclesiastical may choose at any time to taboo as " spiritual," and beyond the secular jurisdiction to pass. We think it is quite enough to stat e thi s fl agrant an d alarming fact, in order toinduce some Member of either the House of Com mons or of Lords to MOVE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE LIBEL AGAINST THE MINISTERS OF SFRATHBOGIE. MONEY MARKET and CiTy NEWS. (THURSDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—The funds have recovered from the heaviness of yesterday. On second thoughts, it is acknow ledged that the explanation given by Lord Palmerston must prove satisfactory to the folks across the Chann e l, and this has made some people begin to think that they had oversold themselves. The consequence has been that, without any investments of importance, there have been several repurchases of Stock to-day, which have caused considerable firmness in the Market, and the quotations have improved 4 per cent. on the closing price of yesterday. The advanced prices brought from Madrid of the 19th instant, with those received from Paris, have given a better tone to the transactions in Spanish stock. Private adviccs from Madrid hold out expectations that tho scheme for cvpitalizing of the arrears was likely to be carried, and that the rate of interest to be paid on them would be higher than bss been looked for. TIM E S.—By the annexed official notice from the Trea sury, which has been issued, it would appear that Dart mouth has been finally selected as the port of departure, at least so far as the West India mails are concerned ; and it is a prevalent opinion in the City that the Lords of the Treasury intend gradually to send off the whole of the ace mails from that port "'Treasury Chambers, Jan. 23. 41 Gentlemen,---I am commanded by the Lords Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, that my Lords having had under full consideration the report of the Committee appointed to examine and report on the dif ferent harbours, and their merits as stations for the em barkation of the West India mails, and alsotheospeivreiiroanl papers and memorials on the same subject, are of that the selection of the Committee should be adopted and that the port of Dartmouth should be selected as the port where the West India mail shall be sent on board the steamers. I am, Gentlemer, your obedient serrant, "R. GORDON." In Consols there were few bargains made, but the mar ket bore an improved tone. Through a private source accounts from the Mauritius to the 2-tth of October inclusive have been received, and these state that Sir Lionel Smith, the new Governor, had issued a circular to the Stipendiary Magistrates of the dif ferent districts of the island, with a view to putting a stop to the constantly recurring desertion of their work by the bands of Indians who come up to town to prefer complaints against their masters, and whose abandonment of their labours at that critical season of the year was a source of serious injury to the planters. Ilowcver, it seems that this had not at present worked the desired cf ':ct, for there were still numbers of these labourers who came to Port Louis cn the errand to prevent which this circular had been issued. The wool trade are in porsescion of a full statement of the import and export of foreign and colonial wool at London, Liverpool, Hall, and Goole, for the year endine Dec. 31, 1840, and as a production of its kind this con tains some interesting matter. The total amount of foreign wool imported into London was 42,263 bales, against 54,668 bales in 1839 ; and the total quantity of foreign wool cleared for home consumption from the ship and the warehouses was 12,862,288165., against 13 294,8361b5. in 1839.

As far as Liverpool is concerned, the total import of foreign wool, including goats, was 45,180 bales, of which about 35,000 bales were South American, against 53,658 bales in 1839; of this there was cleared for home consumption 9,190,3931 b., against 9,800,7861 b. in 1839. The amount of colonial admitted free of duty was 11,179 bales, net 2,947,4371 b. (of which there was 1 645,5401 b. East India, 1,188,728:b. New South Wales, 105,420. b.

CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 28, 1841. I have just been informed on high authority, that the Rev. Dr. Graham, the Vice . Chancellor, and Master of Christ's, has received the ap pointment of Chaplain to his Royal Highncsa Prince Albert MURDER NEAR BRISTOL. DREADFUL INQUEST ON THE BODY. Tile coroner's inquest on the body of Mrs. Shedden was held on Wednesday morning, at eleven o'clock, and did not close until half-past six, when the Jury returned a ver dict of " Wilful murder against Charles Rudge," a lad who was apprehended on the night of the murder on sus picion. It was held at the Anchor Inn, near the house of Mr. Shedden. The first witness called was the husband of the deceased, Alexander Shedden. The witness stated the circum stances of his going to Bristol on the day of the murder, as we stated them yesterday. Some things had been taken. Mrs. Shedden was in the habit of fastening the front door when be (Mr. Shedden) went out, as she had frequently expressed a fear that seme harm would come to them in this out-of-the-way place. The witness ex plained, in refereace to a dispute which he had mentioned, that he (the prisoner) had kept some money which was given him to pay for some pipes, and having lent Mr. Shed den a book, and made application to have the bock re turned (he having in the meantime been forbidden the house, on account of misconduct, and their missing several little things), Mr. Shedden refused to return the book un less he returned the money he had kept, and that he had again applied for the book with the same result, and he left the house, muttering curses, and swearing that he would have the book. The prisoner was employed by him occa sionally in working in the garden, and other cdd jobs. When the witness left him hie wife was employed in making a machine to sweep the kitchen chimney, as it was too narrow to allow a boy going up, but the brush did not ap pear to have been used. [At this time the prisoner tainted, and fell into a fit, which continued for about ten minutes.] Mr. Shedden, in continuation, stated that the candle was in the same state as when he left the house, and bore no appearance of basing been lighted. When the candle was lighted I was surprised to find the front room shutters were fastened, which was also the case with the kitchen shutters. I was surprised, because Mrs. Shedden was not in the habit of shutting the shutters until the last glimpse of light. :lad disappeared, as she was very saving of her candle, and the kitchen shutters were not nsnelly closed until ehe went to bed. Besides this, the leFtrning •shich held the pet hur shutters up to the ceiling hai been forcibly torn down, as if they had been shut by a stranger. It was more than a month before this since the prisoner had been employed by me. Mr. Bell, the surgeon, who examined the body, thought all the blows were inflicted by the same instrument, such as a hammer ; but all the wounds on the right side were contused, and all on the left incised, from which he in fercd that the hammer must have had a cutting side to it, which must have been a large one. Several of the wounds were sufficient to cause death. The body was quite cold and rigid, and she must have been dead some hours. The blood on the wall must have been caused by a second blow inflicted un the bleeding surface. It is probable that Mrs. Shedden was sitting in her chair by the fireside when the blows were inflicted ; should suppose from the position of the arms that the deceased had struggled. Wiliiam Furze, a boy about sixteen, saw Charles Rudge about eleven o'clock on Monday—( From the prisoner— " It's no such a thing, you did not")—going up the path. I was in the field on the side of the hedge sowing wheat. I saw him again about three o'clock go down the road. Rudge looked very hard at me; I am quite sure it was him. The prisoner asked the witness if he did not say at Mrs. Shedden's that he saw him (Rudge) go down the road at four o'clock. The witness replied, that he said at that time it was between three and four, but he had no watch. He thinks now it was a little after three o'clock. William Butt, assistant overseer of Horfielo, deposed to his having assisted in apprehending the prisoner, and also to the conversation which took place on the occasion, the material point in which was, that the witness was quite positive of the prisoner having first mentioned the name of Mrs Shedden in connection with the murder. On coming down stairs the prisoner lid mentioned the name of Mrs. Shedder). I said, " Who said anything about Mrs. Shedder. ?" and the prisoner said, " Some of you." The prisoner here said he wished to put a question to the witness, and entered into en explanation as to the way • in which Mrs. Shedden's name was first introduced, which the prisoner said was by cne of the policemen in answer to his mother, who asked what seas the matter ? The police man said, " Why, Mrs. Shedden has been murdered at llorfield," and he (the prisoner) said, " Good God I Mrs. Shedden ! 111 go with you, then, for I declare to God and man I am innocent." Henry Lewis, policeman, deposed to the apprehension of the prisoner, and also to the prisoner having been the first to mention the name of Mrs. Shedden, as stated by Butt ; and also stated that the prisoner said, when he was con fronted with the body, that he was innocent, but he had helped Mrs. Shedden to shake the carpets, but that he left about twelve o'clock. The prisoner was taken to the station-house and searched, but nothing particular was found on his person but two duplicates and a purse. His clothes were examined, and on his trousers and boots marks of what appeared to be blood were found.—(The clothes were here produced and shown to the jurors ] The prisoner said when he was on the way to Mr. Lar cham's office, " Well, they shan't have the hanging of me, for I will make away with myself;" and he afterwards ex pressed a wish to see the Rev. Mr. Clifford in his cell, as he wanted to communicate something which he was to write in his book, but not to tell any one until he (the prisoner) was dead, and then it was to be revealed to his mother ; but the prisoner said it was not anything about the murder or any bloodshed. Mr. Bell was recalled and examined as to the appear ances on the boots and trousers of the prisoner, and gay,. it as his opinion that they were marks of blood. W. Ilerap,th, Esq., was called to examine the boots and trousers of the prisoner, and pronounced that there were four spots of blood on the right leg of the trousers and one on the string of the boot, and that they were recent. Mary Nelson, a beershop-keeper, residing near the pri soner's father, deposed to the prisoner having drunk a half pint of Burton ale at her house at ten minutes before one o'clock on Monday. . _ This closed the evidence, and the Coroner, having cau tioned the prir•cner, asked him if he had any statement to make; but the prisoner, acting under the advice at his father, declined making any statement. The Coroner then ordered the room to be cleared, and proceeded to read ever the e:idence and to sum up to the Jury. Ver dict of " Wilful Murder against Charles Rudge." On hearing the verdict the prisoner fainted; he reco. vered in a few minutes, and was then removed in custody, prote3ting his innocence to the last. The Marchioness of Lansdowne and Lady Louisa Fitzmauricc will leave Bowood Park, Wilts, on Monday next, for Lan,chwne Howe, for the sers.n. THE SCHOOLMASTER WANTED AT HOME Thursday, at an inquest held before Mr. Wakley, M. P., the verdict having been returned, the Coroner said that the Middlesex Magistrates were so food of Coroners' Juries that they now required all Christian names to be written in full on the inquisition paper by the Jurymen. There was an old saying that " the schoolmaster was abroad," but he thought that he was very much " wanted at home," for some persons could not write at all, and at an inquest he had recently held only five Jurymen out of thirteen could do so. Mr. Wakley, after these observations, signed his own name, and handed the paper to the Jury. Seeing that one gen. tleman detained it longer than he thought necessary, he asked him the reason, when the Juryman exclaimed, " Dang it, I've done it at last ; but I've been so long used to sign my name, whi c h i s I3enj tmio , ' Ben,' that I f orgo t how to go throu g h w i th it. " All the Jurymen having signed, the Coroner, on l ooking over the names, dis ctavcred ti:t the person izlio had ' becn si puzzled had, as he said, "done it" at last by writing " Bcnyarnian." THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN UARY, 30, Is4l LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 29. NEGLECT OF SOLICITORS. Upon Mr. GIRDLESTONS mentioning a cage to the Court this morning, in which he had obtained an order yesterday, for the purpose of relieving his client from a difficulty into which he had fallen, relative to the affidavit of The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would not assist parties to overcome difficulties by which they had been surrounded in consequence of their own tactics. The Court had been treated I Atterly by its own officers, the Solicitors of the Court, in a most improper manner, which his Lordship would take care should nut occur again. In half the causes that had been called on no party appeared, and Counsel had not been instructed, in consequence of the neglect of Solicitors, and in many of the other cares the parties had taken such decrees as they could abide by, the defendants not choosing to appear. This was a nit, of things that ought not to exist, and which the Court would take care to adopt some means to reine:!y. Ills Lordship wished also the Bar and Solicitors :o 11%- derstand that, with respect to applications for causes to stand over, is future the practice of the Court would-be, when such applications were made on the same day as the cause was in the paper, all the Court would do, if sufficient cause was shown, was to place the cause at the bottom of that day's list, and, if parties were desirous of further de lay, the application must be made the day previous to the cause being on the paper. The COURT then proceeded to the hearing of original CaLIS.CS. ROLLS' COURT, JAx. 29. ATTORNEY GENERAL V. DULWICII COLLEGE.

Unopposed petitions end short causes occupied tl.e Court the whole morning. COURT OF QUEEWS BEIVCII, .I,v. 29. ( Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. INKERSLEY--LIBEL. Mr. CRESSWELE prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant in this case. It appeared that at the Summer Assizes of York 1838, an action was brought againSt the Rev. Mr. Gathercole, a clergynr.n of the Established Church, fora libel upon the nuns of Dar lington and the nuns of Scorton, in Yorkshire, and con taming also imputations ti.on some Roman Catholic cler gymen, a hick was published in a work called the " Church man," and of which the defendant Inkersley was the 'minter. A verdict was had against Mr. Gathercole, who subsequently received the, judgment of the Court, nod 1 1 an action for libel was then instituted against lukersley, of which he was convicted, and the defend Ant now ap. ',eared upon tLe floor of the Court to receive judgment. Affidavits in mitigation having been put in and read, Mr. ALEXANDER (with whom was Mr. KNowt.Es), addressed the Court on behalf of the defendant, and relied chiefly upon the fact that it was mainly owing to Mr. Inkersley's evidence that a conviction had been obtained against Mr. Gathercole in the first instance, and coreuded that Mr. Simpson, the prosecutrix's at torney, had giren a distinct pledge that no proceedings should be instituted against Mr. Inkersley in the event of a conviction being obtained and the costs paid, lie submitted, under these circumstances, that there had been a breach of good faith on the side of the prosecu tion, and that a nominal punishment would meet the justice of the ease. Mr. CRESIONELL regretted the tone that had been adopted by the Counsel on the other side, by im puting improper motives in bringing forward the pre• sent proceedings to the ladies who had been the objects of a most abominable attack. It had been distinctly in timated to the defendant that if the costs of the rule were paid, no further proceedings would be taken against him, and having waited a year and a half, and made repeated applications in vain, no other course was left than to bring the defendant up for judgment. Lord DENMAN inquired if the defendant denied in his affidavit that he had any knowledge of the publi cation ? Mr. CRESSWELL said his denial was, that he was not aware of the libellous nature of the publication till his attention had been called to it by the attorney fur the prosecution. Lord DENlVAN—Because it is so very infamous a publication, that we should have been glad to find that the defendant denied all knowledge of it, and it i s diffi cult to suppose that his attention was not called to it. The COURT having consulted together for some time, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE pronounced the judgment of the Court. It was needless to expatiate upon the extreme scandal of such a libel, but the Court consider• ing that one party had been already punished for the libel, and that mainly through the evidence of the pre sent defendant—considering also the present bad state of the defendant's health, their sentence was th it the &- fondant do pay a fine of 501. to the Queen, and be imprisoned till the fi,c was paid. LIBEL.-THE QUEEN V. THE FROFRIETORS OF TIIE " TIMES" NEWSPAPER. Sir F. Poi,Loch: had been instructed, on behalf of several gentlemen, to inov4 for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the proprietors of the Times newspaper for a libel. It appeared that, on the 9th November last, a trial took place in Dublin : it was a trial at bar, and lasted several days. The newspaper published a libel lous attack upon the Jury who tried the ease, and that attack appeared in the Times of the 2d December, after last term. It commenced by stating that the Irish were so trained by their demagogues to hatred of England, that they would not even let her spend her money there, and when some individual brought into that country the thing needful—namely, capital, they not only gave him no encouragement, but hustled him out of the pro tection of the law. 'Fhe article then referred at some length to the trial, in which the parties were the Archbishop of Dublin and the Irish Society, and charged the Jury, five of whom were parties to the present application, with a perversion of justice—it was either a charge of corruption or, in the words of the at ticle, " ill temper and wrong. headed iniquity." The article went on to state that it had been asserted, and was not denied, that the Arch bishop's solicitor, in gratitude for the verdict the Jury had come to, had given each of them a n e xt r a g uinea. In a subsequent publication the verdict was alluded to as a partial verdict. The affidavits which lie held in his hand distinctly denied these allegations, and entered into an explanation of the circumstances under which the Jury had applied to the Court for an additional guinea. He trusted that the respectable gentlemen whoae characters were thus assailed in the discharge of a public duty of that description, in appealing to their Lordships for protection, would not make that application in vain. The COURT, after conferring for some time together, granted the rule. EXCHEQUER COURT, Gurr..oirALL, J.d,v. 29. ( Before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a London Common Jury.) WEST V. FULLER. Mr. Platt appeared for the plaint 4, and Mr. Hemphrey, with Mr. James, for the defendati% This was an action for the recovery of the sum of 2501 , and it appeared in evidence that the petitioner, who car ried on business as a grocer in 47, 1 - I , gh-street, Shore_ ditch, became a bankrupt in the year 1837, when his husi. ness and stock in trade were transferred to a person named Martin, against whom a fiat in bankruptcy was likewise issued in February 1839. The plaintiff, who still conti nued to live in the upper part of the house, while the shop was occupied by Martin, bought furniture and other goods from Martin to the amount of 2501., which was seized upon and sold by the defendant, as the agent for Martin'scredi tore, under the impression that no sale had taken place, and that the goods were bona fide the property of Martin. Mr. HUMPHREY, in a lengthened address, stated that he considered the present action was brought for the purpose of defrauding Martin's creditors. His client had paid 501. into Court, which he considered more than covered the value of any of the plaintiff's property which had been taken by Martin's assignees. However, the considera tions for the jury were, whether the goods were bona fide the property of Martin or West, and if of tae latter, whether he allowed the former their use, in order to maintain a false credit. Mr. B Iron ROLFR having summed up, a verdict was re. :urned fur the plaintiff for 250/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-h I OUSE. A fashionably-dressed woman, named Ann Brown, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of John Forrester, the officer, for fleet examination, on the charge of having in her possession two Bank of England notes, the one for 401. the other for 50/., which had been stolen in the house of Mr. Jesse W. Watkins, partner in the firm of Newton and Co., of Warwick-square, advertisement agents. Mr. Hobler, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Watkins stated that he resided at No. 25, Middle. ton-square, Pentonville, and that on the Ist of January his house was broken into between half past six and half-past eight, and there were stolen amongst other things two Bank notes, the o e for 40/ ,'he other for SO/. He put a stop at the Bank upon the notes next day. On the 15th Instant he received a communication from the Bank to the effect that the prisoner was in custody for presenting one of the stolen notes, that for he/. Sub:Nu:rely he went to the Mansion.house, where the prisoner stated that she had received the 50/. front a gentleman in the street, who promised to give her 101 to get it changed. Witness could swear to the 50/ rote produced as one of those which had been stolen from him. He also could swear to the 40/. note produced as the other stolen note. John Killingworih, shopman to a pawnbroker, named Perkin, in the King's road, Chelsea, deposed that on the 4th inst, the prisoner, who is a cu .tourer at the house, en tered the shop, and raked him whether he could change a 40/. Bank of England note for her. Heving known her as a customer for two years, and believing that she v.as a respectable marr i e d women , h e sa id that he could accomo date her, and he gave her the full change accordingly, She then redeemed pledges to the amount of 8/. or 91. Ho always knew her by the name of Brown, and when he inquired her address she said that she had removed to York-row, West Minster. He understood her husband t• be a carpenter, and did not think it necessary to ask her how she became possessed of the note, but he wrote her name and address upon it. He could not sty whether anybody was in her company or not, but ho fancied that while she was in the shop he saw the reflection of a man in a looking-glass whizh was on the premises. Mr. Joseph Spurwell, one of the ~ ;aEhierf., ie the Bank of England, dcpcsed that on the 15 . 11 instant the prisoner presented at the counter the 50/ note now produced, num bered No. 46,210, and dated, London, 6th August, Is4o. Witness finding that it was a stopped Lott: d sir d her to walk with into another office, and as they were going ;Acing she asked him whether it would not be better for him to take her to the gentleman from whom she had had the note, to which he made no reply. The prisoner made no objection to accompany him. John Forrester said that he took her into custody. She told him that a gentleman, of whom she had some know ledge, but whose name she did not know, gave her the 501. note to get changed, and that she was to receive 10/ from him for her trouble, and to meet him in Thread needle-street. Witness accompanied her to Threadneedle street, where, after having waited and locked about for some time, she said she did net see the party. Wi'ness had reason to believe that her name was not Brown. The prisoner was committed for trial. CORN-LAWS. It is familiar to common observation that the total failure of crops, is a calamity which seldein occurs in an extensive kingdom. What is thus generally true of single countries, is always true of the world at large. Ii is uniformly found that when the crops are unusually deficient in a particular district, they are proportionably abundant in some other quarter ; for it is a statement corroborated by the widest experience, and calculated to call forth the utmost thankfulness to the great Go vernor of the Universe, that provision has been thus made for the variations of climate and the vicissitudes of seasons. But in order to secure the benefits so graciously designed (the essence of which are steady prices and a constant supply), a system of averages, not confined to a few ports in any nation, but embracing all parts of the globe, should consti tute the regulating principle on which foreign corn may be allowed importation into any particular State. Va rious schemes have been devised to accomplish these objects, with a due regard to local interests, producing results partially successful. However, as far as our own country is concerned, few persons will be found to agree in the proposition, that the present Corn-laws afford either an adequate protection to the agricultural body, or prove a satisfactory arrangement with reference to the varied interests of the empire. It is certainly true that the produce of land is more heavily taxed than any other branch of industry, and therefore, agri culturists are entitled to demand that a du , y be laid on foreign corn, when imported, corresponding to the ex cess of burdens affecting them. The justice of the claim admits of no doubt,but the great difficulty lies in ascertaining the amount of duty, and establishing the mode of levy on fair and equitable principles. A fixed duty is liable to many objections, and the sliding scale now in force is universally admitted to be defective. At the same time, it must be allowed that each system has its respective merits, and perhaps are capable, by a judicious combination of what is useful in both, of leading to a solution of this complicated question. With this view it is suggested that foreign corn should be always admissible for consumption on the payment of certain duties, the outline of which may be thus specified. For instance, as to wheat (with a propor tional duty on all other species of grain), a fixed duty of 10s. a quarter might be adopted when the home price was at or under 60s. ; and for every shilling that the price increased the duty to be diminished in an equal rate, until the average price reached 705., when the constant duty of Is. should take effect. Un der regulations of this kind, the ports would be always open, the duty would be so graduated as not to inter pose any formidable obstacle to importation, or hold out indecements to ente.r on gambling speculations in order to influence the averages, and the principal objection removed, of levying high duties at famine prices. Moreover, the revenue of the country will be benefited —the working of the measure simplified—steady and remunerating prices maintained, while the derangement of the currency and circulation resulting from a fluc tuating trade, and consequent on the variations of the foreign exchanges, would be maserially corrected. On a calm review of the whole question, it is hoped that the proposed plan will at least appear ars improve ment on the present system, and concede as much free dom to the trade of corn, ns will be found at the pre sent moment compatible with a just regard for the in terests involved, and a consideration for the vast amount of capital embarked on the faith of existing laws. Limerick, Jan. '2 5 , 1841. FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine o Fashion.) Velvet is at this moment the favourite material in the fashionable world, whether for bonnets, paletote, or dresses; of the latter, many are made with biais, or have lace flounces and mantilles on the bodies ; watered silks and satins, veloutes, are also trimmed with black lace ; re dingo:es have two rows of buttons down the front ; the velvet bodies are again worn this season, in black, green, or violet, with short sleeves trimmed with lace, and with muslin skirts embroidered, or with three flounces of lace ; as also with crape skirts, having three folds of velvet of the colour of the corsage. There is no particular change in the make of dresses ; the small short sleeves are much ornamented, and lace is much used ; it is consi dered the long tight sleeve is already losing favour ; the newest form now making in Paris is tight from the wrist to the elbow, and then gradually enlarges to the shoul der. For evening dress, white, blue Joinville, and rosa de Corinthe, are in favour. Scarfs of tarlatane, embroi dered and trimmed with lace, are much in demand, and for young ladies scarfs are made of plain tarlatane, lined with gauza, and trimmed with a fringe of pink and white. Long gloves are finished on the top with wreaths of gold fcuillage, cords of silver or gold, flowers, feather fringe, lace, coques of ribands, &c. &c. The hair continues to be dressed low; bandeaux arc very generally worn, plaits being rather out of favour ; ring Las are fashionable ; flowers arc much used in coiffures, the newest are the diamenties, having dew-drops sparkling like diamonds, some covered with snow, frost, &c., &c. ; and the coiffure scraphique composed of a roulean of marabouts placed at the back of the head enlarging and terminating on each side near the checks, with deep fringes plaited at the ends, and floating on the shoul ders. Turbans, resille hats, petits bords, all are now in demand. Bonnets of black velvet have been lined with pink velours epingle, with a pink ruche round the interior edge, Velours epingle of citron, white and green, &c., is much used ; one novelty is the in. troduction of buttons to ornament bonnets; three small buttons confine the nceuds at the side ; other trimmings are roses pompons, curled feathers, cactuses, and wreaths of moss, united by ribbon ; another novelty is the bonnet of pluche bouclec ornamented with coques of the same on one side, and a berthe of much smaller coques encircling the face. Many bonnets arc now made of one piece of silk, without the usual join of the frost and crown, which is advantageous for the trimmings. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER—THURSDAY. During the week we have seen the following bets made on THE DERBY. 400 to 11 agst the Duke of Wellington 200 to S agst Rosalie • 350 to 10 agst Rattle's dam; also, 25 and 27 to 1, to a score or so, previous to the Aforesaid 35 to 1 50 to 5 agst Ralph and Coronation 200 to 7 agst Ralph 20 to 1 is offered agst Soult 14 to lon the Field 40 to 1 agst Jack Sheppard. The attendance this forenoon is moderate ; 30 to 1 offered agst the Duke of Wellington; and 35 agst Rattle's dam ; 1,000 to 20 agst Mustapha Mulcy (off). THE CHESTER CUP. The day of the forfeit being made known is so near (the let February) that caution is the watchword ; 7 to I is the top offer sgst Bloomsbury, and 100 to 10 agst any other ; 100 to 7 agst Retriever ; the Field agst S, take 10. Gallipot has been backed at 15, and there appears a strong desire to back Retriever, but the fieldsmen hang fire. HoLKIIAM HALL.—The Countess of Leicester has nearly recovered from her serious illness, arising from the accident her Ladyship met with some weeks back. The amiable Countess has of late been able to take airings when the weather permitted, and, we understand, will leave next week for Brighton, accompanied by the Noble Earl, where they purpose passing a short time before going to Longford Hall, the family seat, in Derbyshire. Lord Cuke has completely recovered from the effects of a sprain he recived when skaiting. Lord Crewe, Right Hon Sir Edward Ellice, M. P., Sir George Anson, Capt. Ellice, M. P., and Mrs. Ellice, Miss Anson, Earl and Countess of Rosebery and the Ladies PrimroSO who have been visiting the Earl and Countess, have sint‘e Monday taken their deparitre. The Board of Guardians of the Wakefield Union have confirmed, by a vote of 11 to 5, a resolution adopted OR the 30th September last, " that no relief, ex cept relief in the workheuse, be given by this Board to any woman who has had more than one bastard child, nor any woman being more than 21 years of age at the time of the birth of any bastard child of which she may be the mother." THE GREAT FIGHT FOR 1,000/.-011 Tues day the fight between Hannan, of the London ring, and Broome, of Birmingham, for 600/. aside, was decided at Bicester, after a most determined struggle, in favour of the latter, to the great surprise and discomfiture of the metropolitan " Corinthians," who had backed Hannan to an immense amount, from his being considered one of the most scientific sparrers of the day. The contest consisted of nearly fifty rounds, which were fought in about an hour and twenty minutes, and throughout the fight both men exhibited the most determined courage. They are light weights, and there was not more than four or five p oun d s difference in their weight. They were in prime condition. At the time they entered the ring Hannan wra decidedly the favourite, five to four being freely laid by his backers arid supporters on his winning, and there were plenty of takers among the Birmingham fancy. LIABILITY or CAB-OWNERS. Mr. Gre gorie, of Queen-aquare, holds that the proprietor may be legally mulcted for the misconduct of his driver, in the event of their absence, and legal proof of such misconduct being adduced. Mr. Board, a cab-owner, is at issue with his Worship on the law of the case; and, as a distress war rant on Thursday was directed against Mr. B.'s chattels, to satisfy a fine inflicted previously, the question is likely to come before a superior court. The Leipsic Gazette asserts that the Duchess d'Angoulemc is seriously indisposed, notwithstanding the contradictions given to this statement, and that the malady of her Royal Highness is of a dropical na'ure. It is understood to be finally arranged by the Post-office authorities, that the transit of the London and nor t hern and western mails to Worcester, by the Birming ham and Gloucester Railway, shall commence on the sth of the ensuing month. 1 - The Duke and Duchess of Northumbe r l an d leave Alnwick Castle next week for Northumb er l an d H ous e. The reason of the Noble Duke and D uc h ess leaving Northumberland so early this season is, that her Grace is desirous of being present at the christening of the Princess Royal. SUPPLY OF WATIZ TO LONDON.—The efforts of some of the mill-owners near the London and Westminster Waterworks, seem to be met with more than corresponding energy by the well-owners in the neighbour. hood of the works, 28 of whom it appears have ccrtifiod, in addition to the 70 formerly advertised. The King of Bavaria has promoted his brother, Prince Chatles, to the rank of Field Markho, GUILDHALL. William ilinrris, who had been remanded from last Monday, for further examination on the charge of perjury at the late election for Bridgemaster, was again placed at the bar before the sitting Alderman. Mr. Secondary Potter (who officiated at the election for the Sheriffs, and who at the last examination demur red to produce the poll-book without their sanction), having produced these books, and the evidence of a num ber of witnesses being taken, a Ilia, however, was nothing more than a repetition of that taken at the former exami nations, the prisoner was fully committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute.
