NCE PRIVY COUNCIL, APRIL 13. WOOD AND OTHERS V. GOODLAKE AND OTHERS. The arguments in this case were resumed yesterday. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that he had determined since yesterday not to trouble their Lordships with any observations, but to leave the case with their Lordships, and in the bands of his Learned Friend, Sir William Follett. He was fully convinced that their Lordships, acting upon true principles of law, would reverse the de cision of the Court below. As the case now stood upon the evidence, those for whom he appeared were entitled to ask of their Lordships to make every presumption the case would admit of in favour of the legatees. Sir W. FOLLETT appeared, with his Learned Friend tho Solicitor-General, in favour of the parties who claimed under the codicil. He should confine his arguments chiefly with regard to the codicil, and with respect to that he submitted, that under the circumstances in which it had been propounded for proof it ought to have been admitted. The question fur their Lordships was, whether the Learned Judge below had correctly laid down the rule of law ? if be had, then he admitted that there would be some diffi culty in establishing the codicil; but he submitted that the principle laid down by that Learned Judge was against the principles of the Ecclesiastical Court. The Learned Judge in his judgment had laid it down as a strict rule of law that the evidence of handwiiting alone was not sufficient to prove a codicil unless there was some direct recognition with the deceased. Now that he would venture to say was not the law of the Eccle,i aatical Court, or that of any other Court in this c suntry. The Learned Judge below was satisfied that the codicil was executed by the deceased, but he con sidered himself bound by an unbending rule of law to decide against it. The Learced Counsel then proceeded to cite several cases, for the purpose of showing that it had been the practice of the Eccle siastical Court to receive evidence of handwriting to a will or codicil. Among the cases referred to were Con stable and Styles, and Clix and Walpole, in which it was laid down that the Ecclesiastical Court acted upon the same principle in the proof of wills that the other Courts of the country did. The Learned Counsel then cited the case of Rutherford v. Maule, vol. 4 Hazgart's Reports. In the case of Marriott v. Marriott, Ist Curtis, Sir Herbert Jenner had laid down the rule that evidence of hand-writing alone, however strong, was not sufficient toestablish the genuineness of a document. He submitted that this rule was not founded in sound reason, and could not be supposed to stand. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment at great length upon the conduct of the executors with respect to the codicil. Had they suspected that the document was not genuine, they would, when it was first produced, have denounced it with indignation as a forgery. Although it was produced under circumstances which went to impute to them conduct the most abominable and fraudulent, they received it as a genuine document, and continued to treat it as such for a con siderable time. It was not till they discovered that it could only be genuine upon the supposition that they had been guilty of fraud that they attempted to deny its va lidity. The Learned Counsel then referred to the allegations and answers in the former proceedings, for the purpose of showing that the executors were in the first instance aware of the codicil and of tLe pencil writing which accompanied it. No evidence could be stronger than the conduct of these parties in not deny ing the authority of the document until they found that it involved their own character. Had there been anything suspicious in the document they had every motive for impugning it. The Learned Counsel then referred at great length to the evidence called on the part of the executers and the cross-examination on behalf of the legatees. In the course of his observations upon the evi dence, the Learned Counsel said—lt was a singular cir cumstance that in examining Mr. Hitch, who was very little acquainted with the deceased, they had produced to him the codicil, whilst in examining Mr. Hearn they had studiously abstained from doing so. Mr. Colthurst, the Mayer of Gloucester, said that had he seen the codicil amongst the other papers of the deeeased he would never have doubted that it was the handwriting of the deceased. On the part of the legatees twenty-five witnesses bad been examined, the greater part of whom were beyond all suspicion, and totally unconnected with any of the parties. They were persons in the habit of daily communication with him, and who had the fullest opportunity of becoming acquainted with his handwriting. All of these witnesses deposed, without hesitation, to their belief, that this was the hand writing of the deceased. The Learned Counsel was oc cupied in reading and commenting upon the evidence, with respect to the signature to the codicil, until the rising o the Court, at four o'clock. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 13. IN THE MATTER OF COLEMAN. The bankrupt carried on business as an Innkeeper in St. Alban's, and was well known as a trainer of horses for several leading characters connected with the turf. The present state of the balance sheet showed his liabili ties as 3,6501. Is. and debts 6,1791. Os. 3d., while his available assets and debts owing to the estate were 2,2921. 03. 3d. A further sum of 161. appeared for the bank rupt's personal property, much of his stock, furniture, &c. having been seized under an execution, which the &W. citor to the fiat said he thought could yet be made avail able to the general creditors. This morning being appointed for the final examination, several of the creditors appeared in person or by their legal advisers, and expressed their satisfaction at the bankrupt's general conduct, and a wish not to afford any unnecessary or vexatious opposition. Sir F. WILLIAMS (the Lord Commissioner), expressed his approbation of the course the creditors pursued. He thought this was a case in which a dividend of 20s. in the pound could be given to them if the accounts were fairly investigated, and the creditors pulled together. In order to afford ample time and opportunity to effect this, he should adjourn the further examination until this day fortnight, on which day there would be a private exami ) nation at eleven o'clock i n hi s c h am b ers, and the usual public investigation to be held in Court at twelve o'clock. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER. The COURT was occupied the whole morning in trying various cases of larceny, none of which were of any interest whatever. Louisa Valentine, a respectable looking female of middle age, was indicted for stealing a jacket of the value of thirty shillings, the property of Edward Cooke. Mr. Phillips appeared for the defence. The prosecutor stated that, on the 25th March, he sent his wife to pawn the jacket in question, and on her return the duplicate was placed in a small box on the mantle-shelf, and it was missed the next day. The pri soner was present when his wife returned, and she was aware of the place where the duplicate was deposited, and no other person could have taken it. The witness upon cross-examination said that he was sure no person was in the room but the prisoner, ex cept his brother, a youth fifteen years of age. His wife's name was Valentine, but the prisoner was no relation to her. His wife's father was at present in London, but he did not know where he lived. He said that he never heard the prisoner was married to his wife's father, and more, that such a circumstance was never hinted to him. He was not aware that the prisoner had been on the look out for him to charge him with bigamy. The pri soner had never asked him to give the address of his wife's father. He could not say how the prisoner came by the name of Valentine. The witness was then fur ther cross-examined at some length, and he prevaricated very much, and made several contradictory statements. Charlotte Cooke, the wife of the prosecutor, con firmed his statement i n some part i cu l ars. U pon cross examination she swore that she had never heard that the prisoner was m arr i e d to her father ; and she said also, . that never struck her as an odd circumstance that the prisone r sho u ld go b y her father's name, and she darned that sh e h a d h eard of any intention on' the part of the priso ner t o i n di ct her father for bigamy. The prisoner had inq u i re d f or her father, and said that she had some docume n t s b e l ong i ue to him • and she t o ld h r father when she sa w hi m , that a woman had be en inquiring after him, and he said be did not want to see her. The witness likewise swor e t h at she did not know where her father resided. A boy named Cooke, a relative of the p rosecutor, was then called, and in cross-examination he said th at t h e person who had been alluded to by the witnesse s as the wife's father was at that time living with them, and had done so ever since he had returned to England, an d t h at they had been with him that morning. Another cu rious fact also came out. It appeared that the pawn broker i n the case ex p ress ed his opinion that the pri soner was the person wh o had redeemed the jacket, but he said that at the time she did so she appeared to have lost several teeth ; and when the prisoner was taken into custody severa l l oose teet h were f oun d in a purse in her pocket. The prisoner's mouth was subsequently examined, and it was found that she had no necessity for any false teeth, and that her mouth was quite perfect, and the loose teeth found in her pocket were accounted for by the prisoner's statement, that they bad belonged to her first husband. The RXCORDER, upon hearing the contradiction that was given to the positive statement of the two first witnesses, called them into the box, and asked for an explanation, and they admitted that the father had told them not to say where he was or that they were in com munication with him. Mr. PHILLIPS said that the prosecution had been got up for no other purpose than to avoid an indictment !or bigamy against the father. The RECORDER having expressed hi s op i n i on that, under the circumstances, the Jury would not be justi fied in returning a verdict of guilty, they immediately acquitted the prisoner. His Lordship then ordered that Cooke and his wife should be committed for wil fully imposing upon the Court, and it was understood that a prosecution would be instituted against them. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) James Itadburn, aged 23, and Thomas Donovan, 20, were indicted for stealing 168 lbs of lead, the property of Joseph Fletcher and others. Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution, and Mr. PAYNE defended the prisoner Donovan. It appeared that the lead was fixed on a scbool.house belonging to the Protestant Dissenters' Society in Col lin's Court, Farmer -street, and the two prisoners Were seen about nine o'clock on the evening of the 19th March, with a bag containing some bulky substance,, and on an alarm being given they dropped it and ran away. On examination it was found to contain the lead in question. It was attempted on the part of Donovan to prove an alibi, for which purpose Mr. Payne called two witnesses, who swore that Donovan was in a public house on the evening in question from six o'clock till twelve. This prisoner throughout the trial frequently protested his in. nocence. The other prisoner, as the Learned Judge was summing up, said that he was guilty, but Donovan was not. The Learned Judge having summed up, The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. There was a previous conviction against Radburn, and an officer who was in Court stated that he knew the other prisoner to be a confirmed thief, and he had only been out of prison five days when this robbery was committed. Radburn was sentenced to fourteen year.% and Donovan to seven years' transportation. Charles Macken, aged 26, described as a surgeon, was indicted for stealing a violin, the property of Mary Ann Mariner. The prosecutor in this case keeps a small shop, and the prisoner brought some waste paper to her to sell, which she purchased, and as she was giving him the money she observed him put something under his cloak, which on ex amination proved to Le the viplin named in the indictment. The prisoner being called on for his defence said, that some time back be was afflicted with a paralytic stroke, since which he had been at times unsound in his mind. Two witnesses were called who proved this, and who stated that the prisoner was of respectable family, and was sent to London to study at Guy's Hospital. The Jury acquitted the prisoner. John Porter, who was convicted on Wednesday last cf having robbed his employer, Mr. Roberts, of Chester field, was brought up to receive his sentence, which the Learned Judge in passing said would be lenient, in con sequence of the Jury so strongly recommending him to mercy. . . He was sentenced to three months' imprisonmen , These Sessions concluded this day. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, APRIL 10.—The annual election to fill the vac int scholarships on the foundation of Oriel College will take place on Friday next, the 16th inst.

The perpetrator of the foul deed, a man of the name of W. Hampsou, with whom the deceased had lived since the death of his wife, was apprehended, it will be recollected, soon after he committed the act, and was kept in custody until the fate of the young woman was known. Harnpson is by trade a millwright, but latterly had partly got his living by selling green-groceries in the public market. He is thirty three years of age, and has five young children, four of them by his deceased wife, and the other by the deceased Frances Bostock, who was about twenty-one years of age. Hampson's wife, we understand, died of poison, but by whom administered it could not be ascertained. On Thursday last an inquest was held at the infirmary, before Mr. Chapman, over the body of the murdered young woman, when the evidence having been heard, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against William Hampson," and the prisoner was committed, on the coroner's warrant, for trial at the Liver pool Assizes.

The London letters and newspapers are n ow brought to this town in the short space of sixteen hour s and a half after leaving the Euston-sq uare station. This hour of the old en brings the time of arrival within an times, conveyance from the metropolis.---N ewcastie Journal, and makes a sav i ng o f 23 hours i n the tim e of On Friday fortnight, the 26th of March, a respect able old lady, named White, died at Easton, near Winchester, after a protracted illness. On the Thurs day following her family, who are very respectable and well-known in this neighbourhood, proceeded to the churchyard of Easton, in which the family vault is si tuated, with the corpse, notice of the intended funeral having been given, and no refusal of the clergyman to perform the accustomed rites notified to the relatives of the deceased. On the arrival of the body at the church-yard gates, attended by a considerable number of the relations of the d ecease d , among whom were her daughters, it was met by the clergyman of the parish—the Reverend Dudley Ryder, who com menced reading the usual prayers. On the proces sion, however, taking the path to the church, he com manded the bearers and undertaker to stop, and bear the body direct to the grave, as he would not allow it to enter the church. The procession accordingly proceeded to the grave and the service was pro ceeded with, leaving out that portion of it appointed to be read in the church. The undertaker, at the request of some of the relatives, demanded the reason why this cruel and uncalled-for insult was offered to the dead, and the answer of this mild and charitable Christian teacher was Do not interrupt me—don't brawl in the churchyard." Finding no explanation of this out rage on humanity could be bad, they then said that as their deceased parent could not be allowed Christian burial they would not allow the interment to take place, and the coffin was again lifted and borne back to the house, attended by the weeping and horror-stricken relatives and the deep though smothered resentment of the villagers who witnessed this most intolerant and cruel proceeding. We have heard the scene was indeed a most painful one. Two of the daughters were so affected by this implied awful clerical denun ciation of their dead parent that they fainted at the grave, and one of them was with much difficulty re stored, and borne back to the late house of her dead mo ther not far from the church. As seen as the body had again been placed in the house, the undertaker and two sons-in-law of the deceased applied to the Rev. Dudley Ryder to know the reason of his cruel and intolerant conduct. The proud priest received them in the presence of another divine—the Rev. R. J. Wil berforce, Archdeacon of York, and the reception of the mourners by these intolerant and unfeeling bigots was of the most supercilious kind. The only explana tion afforded them for the cruel and cowardly outrage, was the Rev. Dudley Ryder opening the prayer book, and pointing to the formula of the rubric which says " The priest meeting the corpse at the en trance of the church-yard, and going before it either into the church or towards the grave, shall say," &c. saying that was his authority and he should give no further explanation. A subsequent interview took place, when he admitted that his reason for refusing the de ceased Christian burial was " because she had let a por tion of her house to a body of Dissenters, and that her son-in-law was a Dissenter, and had introduced dissent into the parish !" Toe Rev. Dudley Ryder— who swore before God at his ordination as a priest, that " he would maintain, and set forward, as much as in him laid, quietness, peace, and love among all Chris tian people, and especially among them that were com mitted to his charge—this intolerant persecutor—this wolf in sheep's clothing assigned as h:s reason (hear it ye martyrs of the Reformed Church of England, who shed your blood in defence of the principle of the right to private judgment in matters of religion, and learn what your religion is degraded to by ono of its teachers in the nineteenth century), he refused a Christian and baptised woman Christian burial, " because she had let part of her house to a body of Dissenters— because her son-in-law, Mr. Forder, was a Dissenter, and had introduced Dissent into the parish of Eas ton." Because she let her house to Dissenters, who dare to assert the leading principle—the very corner stone of Protestantism—the right of private judgment—in preference to attending the communion and accepting the religious opinion of this anti-Christian divine, whose belief, if judged from his practice, no pious or good man need entertain a wish to hold. It seems the deceased had expressed a wish to be buried with her son, who lies in a family vault in the church yard of Easton, and her daughters respecting the desire of their parent, overruled the wish of some of the rela tives—that the body should be taken to the new ceme tery at Winchester ; and the mournful duty was, consequently, again commenced on Friday morning, the next day. On arriving at the church-yard, neither the Christian teacher nor the clerk were present. No bell was tolling, and the funeral procession consequently entered the church, and deposited the body in the nave, hoping a few hours' calm reflection, and holy meditation, would have taught a minister of Christ to respect the feelings of the relations and the memory of the dead, and have induced him to do his duty. Not so—death and the grave, which, levelling all distinctions and can celling all earthly debts, disposes most men to charity and toleration ; which, by practically showing the vanity and brevity of human life, humbles the proud and softens the revengeful, prompting to forgive that we may be forgiven—neither death nor the sacredness of the spot dedicated to the God of mercy, could soften the heart of this intolerant persecutor. He ordered them from the church, threatening the undertaker with an action at law for entering Christ's Church ! and commanded them to take the body away or to the grave. It was, consequently, borne to the latter and buried—the portion of the service ap pointed to be read in the church being omitted. I It is time for the friends of religious li berty to stir themselves. The conduct of the Rev. Dudley Ryder, and his counsellor, Archdeacon Wilberforce, coupled with the intolerant and persecut ing spirit displayed by another Wilberforce (Archdeacon of Surrey) in his late charge on the subject of Church rates, leads to strong suspicions that the Puseyite party in the Church are determined to pursue the " fire and faggot" system, and attempt the extirpation of dissent by persecution. The doctrine of these bastard Catho lics is the infallibility of the Church—that is of the clergy—and hence the determination evinced of treat ing Dissenters as of old the Catholic priests treated heretics. That a system of persecution is being carried on in the parishes of Easton and Avington we well know, and the public ought to know it also. The inhabitants of these parishes were, for years, the object of the bounty of the late estimable and benevolent Duche ss of Buckingham. Since the death of that truly noble lady, her wishes have been partially carried out by her son, the present Duke ; but the donations of food and clothing, an nually distributed, are carefully withheld from the Dis senters, not one of whom is allowed to receive the smallest portion of the charitable donation of the Duke of Buckingham. It is a lamentable perversion of prin ciple, and degrading to human nature ; but it is so. Perhaps some of our readers may wish to know who and what is the Reverend Dudley Ryder. He is, we believe, the son of the late Bishop of Lichfield, and a nephew of the Earl of Harrowby ; and his family have been extensive sackers of Church property.—Hamp shire Independent.

THE TOWER.—At an early hour, on Monday morning, the Armoury Ticket Office, at the entrance of the Tower of London, was besieged by numbers of well essed persons waiting to obtain tickets of admission to view the Armouries and Regalia. Nine warders were in attendance to conduct the visitors over the Armouries and the Jewel Office, and their civility and attention to the people during the day is deserving of great praise. Each warder took charge of twelve or fourteen visitors at one time, and as soon as one party were conducted over the Armouries or Jewel Office, and took their departure, an other was in readiness to view the curiosities. The total number of visitors during the day was, to the Armouries, 1,045, and to the Jewel Office, 595 ; and the amount received for tickets at the reduced admission of 6d. each, was 401. 15s. The number of visitors to the Jewel Office on Monday at 6d. each was larger than in any three months under the whole system, when the keeper of the Regalia was in the habit of exacting enormous fees from individuals for admission.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—A shocking accident occurred yesterday morning, Letween eight and nine, to Mr. James Mules, builder, of Cleat Titchfield-street, Marylebone. Mr. limes was on horseback, passing lm t a h sa r tn o m u bo g ad h his Jermyn-street, Sr. James's, when the animal his sud denly started at a butcher's d o g which snapped at its legs, and ran off a t a f ur i ous spee d, d e fyi n g all attempts of Mr. El mes to re i n it i n .

SG fav oura bl e h as t h e weat h er been during the nth that there is at the present moment more grass standing than in the month of June last year. A good hay ing season is consequently expected.—Brighton Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-.HOUSE. Alderman PIRIE—HOW did it happen that this can of milk was left in the street unguarded ? The milkwoman said that she had been in the habit of leaving it in the same spot for a great length of time, and the policeman was expected to keep his eye upon it. The policeman said that when he apprehended the prisoner she had a pair of new shoes in her possession, and I ls. 6d. in silver, and upon inquiry he found that both shoes and money were her own. The prisoner —Yes ; but if I found them in the street I would have brought them to the statioo.— (A laugh.) A female of respectable appearance here came for ward, and said that she lodged in the house with the prisoner, who was as honest a woman as ever lived, and who was going to a situation immediately. It was quite impossible that the idea of stealing the can of milk could have entered into the imagination of the poor woman. Alderman PIRIE--I don't suppose she had any notion of stealing ; but tell her that she must be very cautious how she picks up things in our streets. The prisoner then received her shoes and money and departed, evidently surprised at the trouble to which she was put for taking care of a can of milk. G U.ILDHALL. William Grelly, who has several other aliases, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman HUMPIIARY, for further examination, on a charge of forgery. Mr. Tupper stated that the prisoner came to his shop and said he was sent by Mr. Tucker, of Long-acre, to purchase some meat, in payment of which he tendered a paper, purporting to be a draft on the London and West m nster Bank for 51., which the witness changed and de ducted the price of the meat. Upon sending it t othe bank it was returned with the words " No account" written on the back. John Dean, a city policeman, deposed to taking the prisoner into custody at a public-house in Newgate Market, and finding on his person another forged draft for 10/ and a "flash" note for 50/. , One of the witnesses, named Drew, who at the last ex amination swore positively as to the identity of the pri soner, said that he would not undertake to do so now, as his shopman said the prisoner was not the individual. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY said, be should adjourn the case until the shopman should be present, as he thought Mr. Drew might, by possibility, be improperly influenced. The case was accordingly adjourned. W ORS HIP- S TREE T. OPPOSITION TO CHURCH -RATES.—Yesterday no less ;han ninety-eight inhabitant householders of the small parish of St. Mary's, Stoke Newington, were summoned to this Court for non-payment of Church-rates. The Churchwardens and Overseers were in attend. ance, with Mr. Yardley, the Vestry Clerk, to sustain the claim, and the Court was crowded with defendants, most of them respectable looking tradespeople, and a few of them members of the Society of Friends. The latter, upon entering the Court, had their hats lifted from their heads by the officers in the usual formal manner, it being equally contrary to their religious principl e to uncover seace of th e authorities tahnemstelovepsay icnhutrhneh-raptrees-. Until of late, however, their l resistance to the rates had been merely in which.a rneatthnisumg s N i d e e 7l ngton parish a t Li e s h F r o i f en S dn to r k e e . summonses were issued g di t to them half yearly, and number of followed by warrants of apparently conducted . abl as a distress for the levy of the rate, but the whole proceedings matter of course, and in an app plate of yauaf fi nicTent v e walay, and at a fixed time a piece of to cover the rate and additional costs thus incurred, ue was placed out for the parish officers, who, in execu tion of the warrant, seized and conveyed it to Friend Savory, the silversmith in the City, who paid the value o f it. Last year, however, many of the Friends joined the other Dissenters in more active opposition, and attended here with legal defenders for that pur pose, but their objections were found to be against the validity of the rate, and that being a question which a Magistrate is not empowered to decide, the cases were referred to the Ecclesiastical Court, but the proceedings then commenced were after wards settled without that expensive process. The Vestry Clerk began yesterday to open his case, but was stopped by objections, on the part of several of the defendants, to the short notice which they had re ceived ; and, in order to obviate any such objection, the whole of the cases were adjourned for a week, with the exception of one, in which the defendant paid the rate to avoid further treubl. HARD SWEARING.—At the Pontefract Ses sions, on Wednesday last, Sir Gregory Lewin, in address ing the Jury on the improbability of the prosecutor iden tifying a quantity of hay, which had been stolen, said that some men's consciences allowed them to go so far that a witness in America once distinctly swore to a goose's leg after it had been made into a giblet pie and cooked.— Doncaster Chronicle. On Monday in the sports of Greenwich-hill, a respectable youth, about eleven years of age, running down the declivity north of the Observatory, fell, and pitching heavily on his head, was taken up se nse l ess. H e was carried to M r . Keeble's, surgeon, in Church-street, who rendered all the assistance the case required, but the youth was sent home with slight hopes of recovery. A man named Jokn Read was brought before Mr. Alderman PIRIE, charged with having acted in a most insulting manner towards his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, on Monday night, as his Royal High ness was leaving the Mansion-house in his carriage. City policeman No. 455, stated, that a crowd of people were witnessing the departure of the Lord Mayor's guests, on Monday night, from the Mansion house, and, just as the Duke of Cambridge got into his carriage, the prisoner walked up, and cried out to his Royal Highness, « D—n your eyes, I should like to punch your head. You have robbed me •of 28 shillings a-week." Tne manner in which the lan guage was uttered was exceedingly violent, and witness took the fellow, whom some of the bystanders seemed well disposed to kick about the streets, into custody. A person who stood near the carriage of the Duke of Cambridge, confirmed the evidence of the officer, and said that the conduct of the defendant seemed to be rather the conduct of a madman than of one possessed of reason. Alderman PIRIE inquired whether the defendant was not drunk at the time ? It was stated that the man had no symptom of in toxication about him. Alderman PIRIE—WeII, defendant, what can you say for yourself ? This is a very serious charge against you ? Defendant—l don't know anything about it, your Lordship. I am sure I don't recollect saying a word. Alderman PIRIE—Pray, what is your trade, or busi ness ? Defendant—l am nothing but a poor birdcatcher, my Lord. Alderman PIRIE—And what brought you into the City ? You did not expect to catch birds at the Man sion -house, did you ? Defendant—lt's all strange to me. I don't remember saying a word to anybody, and I found myself sitting all at once in the station-house. Alderman PIRIE—WeII, I must make some inquiries about you, before I part with you. Let him be taken back to the Compter, and let particular inquiries be made into his character and habits. I've known many of these birdcatchers to be very bad fellows. The prisoner was then remanded. A woman, named Rachel Jacobs, who stated that she was a native of Germany, was charged upon suspicion of having stolen a can of milk, the property of the owner of a milk walk. The case was rather remark. able for the defence. A policeman stated that the can of milk was left by the mdkwoman at the door of a house on the preceding day, and the prisoner, who was passing by, delibe rately took it up, and walked off with it as if it be longed to herself. Alderman Praiz— What do you say to the charge, prisoner ? - The prisoner said, in very indifferent English, that as she saw the can lying in the street without an owner, she took it up, for fear somebody that was a rogue might take it.--(A laugh.) Alderman PIRIE—And where did you intend to take it ? The prisoner --To what they call the station or the watehbouse. In Germany we are obliged to pick up everything we find in the street, and bring it to' the authorities. We durst not do otherwise. I never meant to steal it. I never stole anything since I was born.

The attendance at the National Gallery was greater than bas been known on any holiday occasion. There were numbers of vans on the western roads, on their way to Hampton Court, to visit the cartoons, which was principally caused by the ex istence of clubs, particularly at the eastern parts of the metropolis, where a trifling subscription per week ensures one Pr two trips during the season.

HE MALt.KETS.-YESTERDAY COLONIAL MARKET. There was but a limited business done, but prices were sus tained for most articles. There was no public sale, but several have been declared ; the imports were to a small extent. TEA MARKET. The market was very dull, but no further reduction took place, the holders not being inclined to bell, and at the pub lic sales, 4,000 chests, almost the entire quantity was with drawn without a price. The nearest value of Company's Congou was Is. 4id. per lb. cash. - TALLOW MARKET. The demand for Russian was steady, and prices were well maintained. P. Y. C. of fine quality, on the spot, 475. 9d. per cwt. WHITECHAPEL HAYMARKET. We had a good supply of Hay at market; the demand but moderate, the best quality only meeting with ready buyers. Of Clover the supply was short, the demand good, and hail 61. per load was realized. Of Straw the supply was plentiful, the demand very languid. Clover 41. 10s. to 61. Meadow Hay 31. 10s. to 44 18s. Straw 14 17s. to 2i. (From the London Mercantile Journal of Aprill3.) SoGna.—The demand for West Inclie descriptions has continued extremely dull throughout the week, and some of the merchants have become more willing sellers; prices have been much depressed ; it is, however, difficult to state the reduction with any degree of accuracy ; the prices at which sales have been made in many instances not being allowed to transpire ; from those transactions, however, that have come to our knowledge vie are enabled to arrive at something near the mark, and must come to the conclusion that the fall on the rates of the previous week is 2s to 3s per cwt, chiefly on the middling and lower qualities, par ticularly soft kinds; upon the whole, however, they have been very irregular, arid the transactions are confined to the actual necessities of the be) ers. MAURITIUS. The prices of this description have further given way Is. per cwt., owing to the mer chants still showing a desire to realize, and forcing larEe parcels on the market ; the auctions last week comprehended 3,200 bags 100 casks, which have gone off without spirit, but the whole quantity has met with buyers at and since the sales : middling to fine yellow at 65s 6d to 72s 6d, low and low midating yel. low at 63s 6d to 655, good and fine brown at 63s to 645, and low and middling brown at 50s to 60s per cwt, EAST INDlA.—Bengal likewise is still offered freely by public sale, the merchants evidently being anxious to realize, and in consequence a further reduction of about Is is established; middling to very fine coloury white at 65s 6d to 71s 6d, and good yellow to low white at 62s 6d to 65s per cwt. Of Foreign East India descriptions we have had only one small public sale, consisting of 2,200 bags Manilla, the sound of which was bought in at 22s to 23s 6d for tine strong yellow, being above the value ; the damaged sold at 20a to 21s 6d ; low and middling white Siam, for shipment, at 24s to 24s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—This market remains in an extremely dull state. Oa Thursday three parcels were brought to public sale, consisting of 820 boxes white Harannah and 60 cases JO boxes 60 barrels Fermatas which sold heavily, the Pernams at 18s to 20s for low to good brown, being a shade lower; the Havannah went 3s cheaper, viz., at 27s to 315 6d for middling ti fine white, and middling at 25s 6d to 26s 6d per cwt. REFINED.—The demand has been steady during the week for refilled goods, and former rates have been fully supported ; standard lumps at 94s per cm. Pieces have procured full rates, but bastards are neglected arid prices on the decline, Treacle has sold heavily at 29s to 38s. nices have fallen to :318 3d fur bonded crushed Sugar. WEST INDIA MOLASsES.—There is scarcely any demand for this article, even though some holders are disposed to accept further reduced prices; good Dominica at 316 6d per cwt. COFFEE. —The home trade have ctinced more desire nurchase, on account chiefly of their almost ex hausted stocks, from the very sparing manner in which they, have supplied themselves for so many months past, and a little re-action has taken place in prices. The clean and good qualities of West India have been inquired after, but there ate very few parcels offering, an d t h e little business d one h as pro d uced 2s advance ; the only public sale brought forward consisting of 49 casks Berbice, was chiefly unclean and inf er i or qualitie s , t h ese were chiefly bought in above the value : fine fine ordinary at 86s to 87s per cwt. .Ceylon h as b een much in request, and almost everythig offered has been bought up at an advance of about 2s to 3s per cwt; ordinary and good ordinary colory at 69s to 725, _ 20,000 405 0 421 519 SUPERIOR LONDON-MADE WA TC HES, caw —A.
