As the current below Schulau, to the. south of the Great Channel, has now become so deep that it may be considered as the chi of channel, the removal of the two light-ships stationed the former place to this new charted, as well as the stationing of the cask-buoys, will take place in a few days. The future station of the light-ship above is W. S. from the Ferry houst at St. Schulau, and S S.E. the house at Felarmantissand, the depth beir.g 2f fathoms at low water. The future station of the light ship below is E N.E. E. from Mielstack, S. V. by S. from the house at Fehr mannesand, and the, course to the Black Cask Buoy, No. XI., is N.N.W. W. The depth of water where the light-ship is placed is 10 feet at low water. The direction of the light-ships in respect to one another is N.W. by VT., and S.F. by E. They are nearly hall a mile (GertnAii) distant from one another, to the N. side of the chare For the sake of gl-(!ater security a buoy will be placed between the two lig'it-ships, to the N. side of the pro jecting curve of the Sand Reef. A black cask will be stationed to the south of the new channel, at the ph.ce opposite the Ships' wharf of Schuleu, hitherto poillted out by a black buoy, where the ships coming from the old channel bear southwards to the new channel. In the meanwhile. buoys will be fixed in the old channel where the cask-buoys now lie. The removal of the light-ships to their new stations will take place, if th e weather does not prevent it, on Saturday, Nov. 24. Their signals remain unaltered. THE HARROD - It ♦ND NAVIGATION COMMITTEE. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA Y.) CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY A very limited quantity of English Wheat was on sale in to•day's market. Still, however, as the attend ance of buyers was small, and the arrivals from abroad extensive, the demand ruled heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Upwards of 10,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week, and the show this morning was on the increase. All kinds moved off heavily, at unaltered currencies. The supply of Eng lish Barley was trifling, that of Foreign large. All de scriptions met a very dull inquiry, at the late decline. Malt, both old and new, sold heavily, but we have no change to notice in value. For Oats the inquiry was confined to retail parcels, at previous figures.

The Lord Chancellor sat again today in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to hear appeals. CHAMBERS V. SIGGERS-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments on which were concluded yes tfirday. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England. directing ale trial of an issue. The plaintiff, Captain Alan Chambre, of Burnley, in Lancashire, applied, in the end of 1846, to Mr. Paynter, then a solicitor, living in James-street, Bedford-row, for ii loan of money on his acceptance. Mr. Poynter said he had a friend who could accommodate him, and Chambre then accepted a bill for 2001. in favour of Payntor. No money was forth coming, and Paynter left Loridon in a state of insolvency, after repeatedly promising to return the bill ; and i❑ about a month Chambre received notice from Siggers that he held it for a consideration, and expected payment. The suit was instituted to have the bill delivered up to be cancelled, and for an injunction to stay proceedings at law; and the Vice Chancellor, on an allegation of Siggers in his answer, that ho bad discounted the bill fur Paynter and paid him SOL in money, and released a debt for 1101., directed an issue, to ascertain what money bad passed between Siggers and Paynter, and from this judgment the present appeal was brought. His Lordship ordered the appeal to be dismissed. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittiog at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before the Lord Wel Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.) LF.ADER AND OTHERS v. STRANGE. The further hearing of this case, which was part heard yesterday , was resumed this morning. It will be remembered that is an action for the alleged infringe ment of the plaintiffs' copyright in a song, called " My boyhood's level a part of the opera of Leoline. Mr. East John tilestropp, a composer of music, on the part of the defendant, proved that he had com posed the plaintiffs' and the defendant's songs, " My boyhood's love," and, in his opinion, there was not sufficient difference in the arrangement to give the plaintiffs' song originality. The plaintiffs' symphony imitates the Hamburgh edition in four bars ; the same notes are used, only they are diff rently set out in the bars. The variat i o ns are slight. I find no new invention or idea in either the plaintiffs' symphony or melody. There is a grace note in the plaintiffs' com position which is not in the original, but that is such a variation as a musician might introduce voluntarily, as he passed on. I am afraid there are a great many " heck" musicians—(Laughter)—and a hack musician might write such an accompaniment as the plaintiffs', and he would probably do it for a guinea. Cross-examined by Sergeant CHA.NNELL—The copy of which I have been speaking gives the French score and the German words. There are not as many as sixty improvements on the French edition by the plaintiffs. I think both the English editions are inferior to the French copy; but I think the plaintiffs' is the better of the two, because it is more like the original. By the JeDGE—Some parts of the bass are more simple in the plaintiffs' copy, as compared with the original. Sir Henry Bishop called and examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES —I am the professor of music at Ox ford. I have compared the plaintiffs' edition of the song with the original. I find that the melody is the "QM The arrangement of the symphony and accom. panitnent somewhat vary. At the commencement of the plaintiffs' symphony there are two bars which are not in the original copy ; but in the original those two bars are not to be found in the melody. They are the same bars both in the . original and the plaintiffs' copy, but the position is varied. The symphony is taken from the original, and the accompaniment throughout is founded upon it. I cannot say there is any invention in either the symphony or the accomp Iniment ; what has been done bas been merely to simplify. There is a similarity between the plaintiffs' and the defendant's copies ; anti it is not impossible that the same ideas and the same mode of arrangement might net have occurred to two different individuals, seeking to in adopt a comm on origi nal. The only improvement the plaintiff,' copy is the transposilien of the key into D natural. Any copyist could do that ;it is done by rule. There is no merit in the plaintiffs' melody to tempt an imitation. In the plaintiffs' melody I find no harmonies which are not in the original. Ido not find any violin passage omitted as is alleged by the plaintiffs; that passage has been simplified in the plaintiffs copy, but the notes are precisely the same. Cross-examined by Sergeant CHINNELL—The de fendant's is as like the plaintiffs' as the plaintiffs' is like the original. Certainly the defendant's and the plain tiffs' copies are very similar. Supposing I had not seen the foreign editions, I should say the plaintiff s ' an d t h e defendan t ' s are very much alike in all essential parti culars. I have adapted a few foreign operas for English performance. I have made what alterations I thought were necessary on those occasions. Mr. John F. Burroughs—l am a musical composer of between 30 and 40 years standing. I have heard Sir Henry Bishop's examination and cross-examination, and I agree with it in general. Mr. Robert Macpherson—ls a professor of music. Agrees in the evidence given by Sir H. Bishop. is not a native of this country, but a Scotehman.—(Laughter.) Not the less informed for that.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL—You are too far north for me.—(Laughter.) Mr. Strange, so n o f th e d e f en d ant , prove d th a t his father had no interest in the copyright of the Musical Bouquet, of w hi c h the alleged piracy is a portion. He did n o t p r i nt or cause it to be printed, though his name appeared upon the title-page. His father had only the usual commission on the number of copies he sold. He had not received a greater profit from the sale of the Neve song in question than 3 s . new his father to in terfere at all in the Publicatio n of the " Musical Bouquet." Cross-examined—His father had sold the Musical Bou quet from its first publication. Receivedtne copies h e sold from Mr. Sheard, the proprietor ild of a e a d ih r .o i r t k ted that This was the defendant's case, a Mr. Sergeant ('HANNELL replied. II:h the plaintiffs' publication was not an original had been token, in all essential particularswotrrkom, execution but the foreign edition; and all the merit claimed by the plaintiffs was that they bad taken a s on g , most ciifficu of as it stood in the foreign opera, and o simplified it that it could be performed i n pr i vr to do. mestic circles to their great deli g ht ; and this they had done at a great expense, which accounted for the difference of price bet,veen the plaintiffs' the p ifis'andd defendant's s editions, the latter having merely o, version, with slight variati ens, without being at any , or comparatively small cost. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up the case to the Jury. He would ask them first of all whether the plaintiffs' 814 17 4 01101116 TIE - 1E SUN_ LONDON; WMbNTESDAY EVE?? NOVEIVIBER 2B, 1849. had privpd the allegation or charge in this deciamtion, that they were the proprietors b of the work in question? The second question would be whether the defendant caused the work to, be printed and published. The defendant coutendsd be had only done that which the plaintiffs themselves had done, that was, that be had copied the French work with variations. Thirdly, he would ask them whether the defendant had knowledge that the work in question, supposing it to be a pirated copy of the plaintiffs' work, but with certain colourable or evasive alterations, nut substantially varying its character, was unlawfully printed before Nulling or exposing it for sale ? lie thought there was no ground whatever for the charge made by the plaintiffs' counsel, that the defendant (Mr. Strange) had nett d fraudulently in this transac tion, seeing that he sold the copies of the work in question without conceals ent. It the work in question was substantially that of M. de Flotow, though there might be some trifling a,terations, the plaintiffs would have no case, for they could havia t cops right in the work. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and bad not returned into court when our report left. EXCHE QUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON aid a Ccmmon Jury.) The Court was occupied during the morning in trying an action on a bill of exchange, involving no point of public interest. SECONDARIES -(rillS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) ROGERS V. WHITLOCK. This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 18s., the balance of a promissory note. Defendant sufferQd judg ment to go by default. Mr. BUCHANAN, plaintiff's solicitor, said he would call witnesses to prove the signature to be that of the defendant, and that the writ had been duly served on him. Witnesses were called and proved these facts. Mr. BUCHANAN said there were two Mr. Whitlocks, defendant being the junior, and no doubt thought he could take an advantage of the non-insertion of the word " junior." The Learned SECONDARY held that the identity had been fully made our, and the jury found for the plaintiff. MIIMFORD V. MARRIOTT. The plaintiff is a horse dealer, defendant is a clerk i❑ a Government office, and the action was brought to re cover damages for breach of contract. Defendant suf fered judgment to go by default, thereby admitting that his judgment had been at fault i❑ entering into the contract. It appeared that in August last defendant bar gained for a horse, for which he was to pay 311., and left a deposit of 1/., and was to pay the difference and take away the animal in a few days, but subsequently called and said he had not been able to raise the money, but requested plaintiff to keep it at livery, which he did for about twelve weeks, but defendant did not come to the post. A witness was called, who swore the horse had de preciated in value for sale 10/, A juror said he could hardly understand that. The witness—Oh, it is so, and no mistake. The Learned SECONDARY said the question of damages was one entirely for the jury, the contract clearly having been broken. The jury found a verdict for 101. loss on sale, and 8/. 10s. for keep. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron_ ALDERSON, and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) The second edition of the calendar contains the names of 207 prisoners, being an increase since the last edi- Lion of 23. THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT CHISWICK, Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, with reterence to the young marl who was charged with feloniously shooting at and wounding his father, John Farmer Monkhouse, with in tent to murder him, he had to apply to their Lord ships on the part of the prisoner for a postponement of his trial until the next sessions. The affidavit upon which he made the application was that of an attorney, who stated that he had only just been retained, and had not had time to prepare the prisoner's defence. Mr. BODKIN, on the part of the Crown, said he would offer no obj-etion to the appl:cation. The COURT granted the application, and accordingly the trial will stand over until the next sessions. Geo, ge Boulelnz Talker, a respectable-lo• , king man, aged 20, and described as a clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen a bank-note value 10/., the property of John Sadlier, and others, his masters. An application was now made for a mitigation of punishment. It appeared that the employers of the pri soner %ere bankers, and that he abstracted the 101. note from a letter which was received in the ordinary course of business by the firm. Several certificates were put in giving him an excellent character for sobriety and honesty, and in palliation of his conduct, it said, he committed the offence from a vain and foolish love for dress. He procured some articles of dress on the under standing that he should pay the tailor by instalments out of his salary —an arrangement which he faithfully nded to carry out, but, unfortunately, the tailor became bankrupt, and his assignees threatened to suo him for the payment of the debt, and this, he said, in duced him to take the 101. note. Inquiries had been made to ascertain the truth of this statement, and the accuracy of it had been confirmed. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence said, the prisoner had lost no advantage by pleading guilty, for having looked over the depositions, he found the case was very clear against him. The nature of the case showed his entire inexperience in crime, for the way in which he committed the offence was sure to lead to detection. Through au extravagant love of dress, and a desire to incur expenses beyond his means, he had lost not only his situation but his character and his caste in society, had disgraced his family, and instead of pursuing a course of honest industry to a position of respecta bility or wealth, he was Pow A convicted felon. At his age repentance and reformation were not hopeless, though difficult; and he beseeched him, if he regarded his own welfare, never again to wander from the straight path of honesty. The seutenee of the Court was, taking into consideration the circumstances of the oase, that he be imprisoned in Newgate for the period of six calendar mouths. The COMMON-SERGEANT—NOW, Mrs. Harris, what character hus she borne all along ? ituess—l am sorry to say I have heard since she left me that she is a very bad girl. The COMMON-SERGEANT—Oh, oh. What have you beard, IT ? Witness—That she has had a child in the union. _ . The COMMON-SERGEANT—What ! Why, how old is she ? Witness—Eighteen. The COMMON-SERGEANT—AM I am afraid Miller you area very bad girl, and you have hid a lucky escape from one scrape. The sentence of the Court is that you be imprisoned for four months in the House of Correc tion, with hard labour. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Mary Ann Aldridge was indicted for stealing two 51. notes, the property of Mr. Alfred Cooper, an officer in the East India Company's service. _ _ _ The prisoner was servant to the prosecutor's brother, who resides at Streatham, and she stole the notes from a waistcoat pocket of the prosecutor, which he had left in his bedroom. When taxed with the robbery she denied all knowledge of the notes, but they were subsequt.ntly traced to her poss:_tsion. The prisoner, in her defence, said she found the notes. The jut) , found her Guilty, and she was 4entenced to four months' imprisonment. ATTEMPTED RAPE.—A respectably attired middle aged man, named Charles Boardman, described as a boot maker, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously and carnally knowing and abusing Mary Eliza Sarah Southey, a little girl between eleven and twelve years of age. Mr. WOOLLEY, who was instructed to prosecute, called the attention of the Court to the fact that it appeared from the depositions that the prisoner communicated a loathsome disease to the child. The prisoner said—l throw myself upon the mercy o the Court. _ The Court sentenced him to twelve months' imprison. relent in the House of Correction. MANSION HOUSE.-(THIS DAY FELONY THROUGH HUNGER.—i man named John flicks was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor charged with felony. From the statement of a City police-officer, the poor fellow entered Smith's pastry-cook's shop in the Poultry last night, and stole some buns. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, stated that he had walked from Chatham on an empty stomach, and could not deny the robbery. Not being known by the police, the Lord Mayor coin roittP4 the prisoner for 14 days, (much to the poor fel low's delight), and aftvrwarda to be passed to Chatham back again, MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) WATCHES WERE MADE TO GO.—Charles Somerville, a well-known thief, was placed before Mr. Hardwicke, charged on suspicion of being concerned, with a woman not in custody, in stealing from the person of Mr. Fre derick Collis, a gentleman residing at N 0.3, Mill-street, Hanover. square, a silver watch and chain, value 41. It appeared from the evidence that about twelve o'clock on the previous night the prosecutor was pro ceeding down Sherrard-street, Soho, when he was ac costed by a female. Before he had time to reply she snatched his watch and chain from his waistcoat pocket, and immediately ran off. Just as he was on the point of pursuing her, the prisoner came up, and placing himself directly in front of him, prevented prosecutor from following the woman. The prosecutor finding he could not get away threatened to give the prisoner in charge, when the latter said, " Oh, my dear fellow, its no use 'peaking like that," but on his still expressing his deterl.l3ilAtion to girl) him iu charge he ran away as fast as he could, Witness pursued him, calling out " Stop thief," and " Police," as far as Compton street, when be was stopped by a con stable and taken to the station. Constable, 41 C, proved stopping the prisoner and taking him to the station, where he was searched, and 21. 94. 3d. found upon him. Tke watch has not been found. Another constable said he saw the prisoner, who was well known to the police, in Regent-street, in company with a woman who was a convicted thief, and who was notorious for committing street robberies of this de scription. Mr. HARDWICKE remanded the prisoner for a week. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of France on Nov. 22: ASSETS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Money continues easy for all business purposes, and we do not observe any advance in rates. The entire range of :quotations is from Bto 12 per cent , though operations are rarely made at less than 9, and quite as seldom at any rate above 10. Something of an undefined, distrustful, hesitating feeling has been apparent in financial circles, occasioned by the recent specie export. .The declining tendency of exchange since the last steamer has, in a great measure, removed that feeling, and everything which has an influence and bearing upon our money relations tends to strengthen and confirm the opinion that we are yet moving towards greater abundance. Without any considerable increase in the amount of business transacted in stocks, the market has assumed a firmer tone, and quotations, in the agre.. gate, are higher, In manufacturing there is but little activity, and no improvement in quotations; sales are confined to a very few of the he6t und must profitable.

The Teviot's freight consists of 419,451 dollars from Mexico (112,000 of which are on account of Mexican dividends, (16 ,ozs. gold dust ; 4671. 7s. 6cl. British coin; 164 serous of cochineal ; 140 bales tobacco ; 65 cases cigars ; 17 casks arrowroot ; 13 packages succades ; 41 packages sun d r i es. Therewere 37 passengers on b oar d t h e T ev i ot on the homeward voyage. The movements of the West India steam-packets are as follows :—The Tay is the next ship home from the Spanish Main ' • the Avon h a d sa il ed for the Spanish M a i n ; th e Dee for the Gulf of Mexico ; the Great Western for' Bermudah and New York ; the Conway and Eagle for the northern islands and Demerara. The Teviot experienced terrific weather in the Gulf. She was unable to zommunicate with the shore during three days that she was off Vera Cruz, on account of the tempestuous state of the weather. She was obliged to call at Tampico the second time for mails, also on account of the weather. Disease had almost decimated the inhabitants of Vera Cruz. It is "expected -that a very' large' retnit-• tance will be sent home next month for' the 'Mexican dividends—not less than half a million of dollars. Her Majesty's ship Trincomalee had been sent round from Halifax to Havannah to watch the move ments of the Americans in the Cuba affair. The dates from Jamaica are only one day later than those received via New York, through the Crescent City. Fine rains had fallen in Jamaica, which were much required in many districts. The climate had become considerably cooler, and the island was healthy, with the exception of several cases of diar rhcea. Preparations were being n ade by some planters to cultivate tobacco, and it was stated Ja maica could supply half the world with tobacco and cigars, with great advantage to herself; if the planters would only lay themselves out for the systematic cultivation of the tobacco plant, for which the soil and climate of the island are quite as favourable as those of Cuba or Porto Rico. The dread of cholera, which had seized the minds of many of the inhabitants, bad passed away. From Demerara advices are to the 19th of October. The new Franchise Bill has passed the Court of Po licy, and the Tax Ordinance renewed till March next, should the Combined Court not enact a regular tax in the meantime. Several addresses had been presented to Governor Barkly, in a tone of re spect and regret at the depressed condition into which recent events had plunged the colony. The old civil list quarrel was apparently consigned to ob livion. All public business was suspended pending the result of the ensuing elections. The Hon. Mr. Stanley, M.P. for the borough of King's Lynn, the eldest son of Lord Stanley, and grandson of the Earl of Derby, had arrived at Georgetown. The object of his visit is said to be to acquire information concern• ing the West India possessions of the Crown, and thus qualify himself for the better discharge of his public duties as a member of the Imperial Parliament. Mr. Stanley proceeds, it is said, from Demerara to Tri nidad, Jamaica, and other parts of the West Indies ; and thence proceeds to Panama, and crosses over the Isthmus to the Pacific. A few more African immi grants had arrived. The weather had been favour able to the planters. Lieutenant Mills, R.N., Admiralty agent of the Royal Alail steamer Eagle, had appeared before the Sheriff of Demerara, to swear the peace against the commander, chief officer, and purser of that steamer. A warrant was accordingly granted and those gentlemen brought before the Court and obliged to enter into their own recognizance of 201., and a surety of 51. each, to keep the peace towards the gallant officer. The affair caused great amuse ment in Demerara, where all the parties were well known for their excellent good humour and jovial natures. JAMAICA MA RKE r S.-KINGSTON, OCT. 20.

REPRESRNTATION OF C•RMANTIBINSHIRE.— CAR MARTHEN, MONDAY.—The representation of this county, which has become vacant by the elevation of the Hon. George Rice Trevor. M.P., to the peerage, consequent upon the death of his father (Lord Dynevor), has put both political parties on the qui vivo, and a severe contest is anticipated. A general feeling of regret has been caused by the loss oF Mr. Trevor as the representative of the county, as the Hon. Gentleman has for many years devoted the whole of his time and attention to the ad vancement of the interests of his constituents. No official intimatiox has as yet been given by the leaders of either party as to the candidates to whom they will give their support, but there is little doubt that the Protec tionist party will start Mr. David Jones, of Pontglas, an extensive landowner in the county, and who contested unsuccessfully with Mr. Dyce Sombre the representation of Sudbury when that borough returned a member. On the other hand, it is confidently asserted that the Liberals will start Sir James Hampden Williams, of Eelwinsford, near Llandilo, a gentleman who has on former occasions stood against the Protectionist interest. The Hon. G. Rice Trevor (now Lord Dynevor), who retires, has for some years past acted as deputy to his father in the lord lieutenancy of the county, and will, it is confidently ex pected, succeed to that office. He proved himself a most active magistrate during the Rebecca riots, when, on ac count of infirmity, his father was unable to perform his arduous duties. He is also President of the Society of Ancient Britons, which office he will retain. The day for the nomination is not yet fixed. Real grief is never c'amorous. It seeks to shun every eye; and breathes in solitude and silence the sighs that come from the heart.—Eliza Cook's Journal. BENEVOLBNCE.—A Chester Contemporary says : The Most Honourable the Marquis of Westminster, on Friday last, called together several aged and infirm la bourers who hare heen employed for years in the gar dens and other parts of the estate at Eaton Hall, and awarded them pensions for the remainder of their days. , This act of benevolence was most justly apportioned by the Marquis, in sums averaging from 3s. to 6s. each, according to the ago and inability of each individual to follow auy employment.—Liverpeol Mercury. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE ON ♦ TALEGRAPH LINE IN Paussls.—A curious accident occurred to the electric telegraph line between Berlin and Stettin the other day. The communication baring been found to be interrupted search was made for the cause, when a mouse's nest, with a little brood, was discovered in the gutta percha tube, and it appeared that the little animal hed contrived to gnaw through or disturb the wires.— Mining Journal. THE POLICE or LITERPOOL.—The police corps of Liverpool now numbers coniid( rably above a thousand. The men are consecutively numbered, and officer 1,000 gave evidence in court yesterday; but there are frequent vacancies. There are amongst the force six superin tendents, and a number of inspectors, bridewell-keepers, and their assistants, &c. The body has latterly been slightly reduced, and in round numbers is at present about 1,150 strong—a pretty large regiment to keep the vicious and the refractory of our town in order or in awe. —Liverpool Standard. Simian or A PUBLICAN.—On Monday morning, a publican named G. Moade, who kept the Boot public house, in Wells-street, Oxford -street, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. The deceased had occasion to go into his cellar about seven o'clock in the morning in question, and shortly afterwards a female domestic discovered him sitting on a small beer barrel, with his throat cut from ear to ear. A surgeon was im mediately fetched, but life was found to be quite extinct. An inquest was held upon the body by Mr. Wakley, at the above-mentioned public-house, last evening, and the evidence elicited showed that the deceased had bee❑ in a desponding state of mind for some months past, but that be had never before attempted to destroy himself. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAT.—Traffic for the week ended N0v.:25, 1849:—Coaching traffic4,7l9/.; parcels, &c., 43/ ; goods, cattle, &c., 3141.; steam-boats, 13!.; Mold, 63/—Total, 1,2621. _ _ _ 13ATTERSBA - PARK.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests in their report just issued state that their proceedings for the acquisition of the property to form Battersea•park have been impeded by the want of funds, the delay being manifestly injurious to the interests of the Crown, and productive of frequent complaints from the owners of the property and other persons having interests affected by the formation of the intended park; that great loss and inconvenience are occasioned to them by the uncertainty that extsts as to the period of settle ment of their respective claims. The Commissioners have borrowed 50,0001., and under a recent statute charges can be given for property purchased on the land revenues of the Crown, and up to the date of the report the Commissioners had paid in money for pro perty 23,1971. 10s. 3d. Certificates on the land revenues in lieu of money can be given to owners of property who aro willing to accept the same under the Act 11th and 12th Victoria, cap. 102. A good man will never teach that which he does not believe.—Eliza.Cook's Journal. LYCEUM THEATRE. A pleasantly wr i tten and excellently acted little cornedietta, entitled Delicate Ground, was produced here last evening with complete success. It is from the pen of Mr. Ch ar l es D ance, and is evidently an adapta tion from the French. It is played by only three individuals, namely, Madame Vestris, Mr. Charles Mathews, and Mr. Roxby. The plot amounts to nothing, and yet it forms an ingenious framework upon which to wreathe certain useful domestic homilies. A citiz,n of the French Republic, a member of the Convention, perceives in his wife a leaning towards romanticism, and an undue tendresse for the memory of an individual to whom she had formerly been be trothed. He affects the most sublime indifference to her sentimental fancies, and treats her with an an noying air of sang froid. Her former lover, whom she had supposed dea d , suddenly turns up in the shape of a proscribed royalist, and the husband, to test his wife's affection, and prove to her the folly of her pervading impr ess i ons , consents, w i t h a perplex ing air of coolness, to annul, according to the repub lican licence of 1793, his marriage, and assign her to her original lover. An amusing imbroglio takes place, for the "citizen," aware of the vanity and silliness of the man to whom he proposes to transfer his conj . ugal rights, en t raps h i m into a demonstra tion ofinconstancy, b e t ray i ng at the same time the weakness and imbecility of his character. The contrast that he thus establishes between his rival and himself convinces his wife of his own solid and enduring worth ; and discovering, with characteristic shrewdness, that her affection for him is really strong, although clouded by the defects of education, he exposes to her the real state o f h er heart; awakens in her a l a t en t spirit of moral and intellectual appreciation, and finally destroys the document which was the official initiative of their divorce. The interest of this little comedy depends upon its dialogue, and this is always smart and spark ling. A more adroit representative of the husband than Mr. Charles Mathews could not have been found. His imperturbability was never disturbed for a moment, whether in meeting his wife's reproaches, or in confronting the frivolous assurances of her admirer. His matter-of fact deportment was more than a match for either, and he triumphed by the manifestation of plainness and sincerity. Madame Vestris was equally well adapted to embody the romantic, though well-intentioned wife. Her mo mentary impulses of passionate irritation. had her growing convictions of the worth and s9.;‘acity of her husband, were portrayed with mica feminine truth, and nothing could he more finished and natural. Mr. Robert Roxby, as the personifier of the third charac ter, exhibited the infirmities of volatility and empti ness with all the effect that was necessary, making as much of an unpleasing part as circumstances would allow. The applause which followed the fall of the curtain was general and enthusiastic, and Mr. Charles Mathews pacified the clargo,ur for the author by sim ply announcin: l „ . , name. STRAND THEATRE. The mutations of this petit establishment have scarcely been less varied than the fortunes and policy of its managers have been chequered and fitful. It has undergone all the phases incident to the stage, being at one time the seat of burlesque, at another the temple of tragedy; now the school of broad farce, and anon the retreat of singers and musical composers, but never has it been applied to so good a purpose as it is at the present moment. It is now a sort of iijou cabinet o f E ng li s h come d y, and the lessons illustrated upon its boards, and preached by.its actors, inculcate wholesome moral truths, while they please and entertain the mind of the spectator. Too small for the gaudy display of burlesque, or the repre sentation of tragedy, it is yet sufficiently spacious and convenient for the development of dramatic en tertainments as unquestionable in merit as they are truthful reflexes of natural feelings and healthy senti ments. Mr. Farren has discarded the exclusive tastes of his fellow-managers. He does not confine his stage to a few favoured playwrights, nor does he rely for success upon his own or any other individual actor. His house is, open to every aspirant for fame as a dramatic writer who makes the least pretensions to merit or originality, while his company is nume rous and complete for the purposes of English comedy. A few days ago we had the pleasure of recording the successful revival of two of Sheridan's best works, namely, the School for Scandal and the Rivals, and DOW we have to notice the disentombment of Llol croft's Road to Ruin, which seems as fresh and accu rate in its pictures of every-day life as if it were only written yesterday. It was excellently cast and equally well played. Farren as Old Dotnton was elo quently pathetic ; so indeed was Leigh Murray as his son Harry, though here and there he was somewhat too violent. Mr. Henry Farren played the prominent part of Goldfinch, and, to use the phraseology of the class the character represents, it was a rattling, spanking, rollicking performance, full of spirit and energy, and making portions of the audience echo his saying of " That's your sort." Compton was entrusted with the part of Silky, the canting, roguish money-lender, and capitally be sus tained it. It was artistic and finished to the last degree. Mrs. Glover's Widow Warren is too well known and appreciated to need any eulogiurn from us, and was all that could be wished; while Mrs. Stir ling ns Sophia was the very impersonation of artless ness and simplicity. The minor parts were all admirably sustained, and the reading and conception of them perfect. The comedy drew an exceedingly full house, who enjoyed the acting as much as the beauties of the author, and their applause and delight knew no bounds. We were not sorry to observe a few of the old school of playgoers present ; they seemed to enter fully into the spirit of the comedy, and laughed and chuckled, cried and sobbed with the youngest of the audience. At the fall of the curtain the principal characters were summoned to the foot-lights, and Mr. Farren availed himself of this opportunity to intimate that the comedy would be repeated. YORGERY UPON TUE TRINITY HOUSE. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said be was instructed to state the opinion of the judges with reference to the case of a person named Tochack, who was charged with forging certificates of good conduct and skill as a mariner on board ship during a period of six years, in order to in duce the examiners of the Trinity House to pass him as a person of sufficient nautical skill and fitness of character to act as a master of a vessel. His Lordship said it was most important that the duties of the Trinity House should be properly discharged, especially in a great commercial country like this; for if the masters of ves sels were otherwise than skilful and sober, and persons of good conduct, not only would property be placed in danger, but the lives of persons would be hazarded, and the subordinates under them be subject to want of discipline, or to harsh or improper treat ment. The Judges were of opinion, and they instructed him to say, that the 7th and 9th counts of the indict ment were sufficient on which to pass judgment, and amounted to forgery at common law. fie hoped that the Trinity House would act on th:s judgment, and visit with great severity a punishment upon persons guilty of so serious a charge, for it was to the interest of the public that they should exercise a very rigid superin tendynce with respect to the nautical qualifications of masters of vessels. When the person indicted for the present offence, who was now out of custody, made his appearance in the court judgment would be pronounced upon him. [We regret in being obliged to complain of the great difficulty which, usually, has to be encountered in get ting a copy of the calendar at the Old Bailey Sessions. Owing to the construction of the courts, and the noise which prevails in them, and perhaps in no small de gree to the inarticulate voices of the associates who read the indictments, the exact name of the prisoner, and the nature of the charge, is seldom correctly heard, and as this difficulty can only be overcome by the aid of a calendar, which are prepared at the public expense, we think, at least, that the reporter 01 each newspaper might be supplied with a copy, especially as the number required must be very limited indeed.] NEW COURT. Before Alderman SlLomoNs and the CommoN-Siat- GEA.NT.) YOUTHFUL DEPAAVIT Y.-- Sarah Ann Miller, a girl with a very juvenile appearance, whose head only just reached above the top of the dock, was indicted for stealing a watch from the person of Thomas Postlethwait. The prosecutor having been attacked with paralysis since the committal of the offence, was unable to at tend, but, from his depositions taken before the magi strate, it would seem that he met the prisoner in the streets at Stratford, and took her to a brothel, where she robbed him of his watch. The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, Sarah Ann Miller, what have yots to say to this?—The prisoner said the prosecutor gave her the watch. The COM — MON-SERGEANT—B Ut how came you to tell one of the witnesses that the watch was given to you by a brother who had gone to sea ?—The prisoner said the prosecutor told her to say so, as he was anxious that it should not be known that he had given it to her. The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, gentlemen of the jury, its for you to say whether you believe the story of the prosecutor or that of the prisoner. The jury, after a short consultation, found her Not Guilty. She was then indicted on a charge of stealing a ring, the property of Louisa Harris, of High-street, Stratford. The prosecutrix having been sworn, she was examined by the COMMON-SERGEANT in the following strain The prisoner was in your service.—Yes. Now you had better go home if you can't speak up, woman.—l will speak as loud as I can. Well, first of all, take off your bonnet. Now, then, you lost a ring ?—Yes. And you repeatedly asked the prisoner for it ?—Yes. There, you can stand down. Now, then, where is Jane Low ? Jane Low, having been sworn, stated that she was the mother of the prisoner, who gave her the ring in question. The COMMON-SERGEANT—Why, your name is Low. You're been married again, I suppose, Witness — Yes, Sir. The COMMON •SERGEANT—Now Sarah Ann Miller, what have you say to this? Prisoner—l picked it up out of the sweepings of the kitchen, aid, not knowing who it belonged to, I gave it to soy mother. The COMMON-SERGEANT—WeII, gentlemen of the jury, she is in the service of the prose cutrix, a ring is lost, and when asked if *hi) has seen it, she knows nothing about it. There is evidence that she afterwards gave it to her mother, s and it is for you to say if she stole it. The jury loud her Guilty. LIABILITIES.

The other unfortunate man, John Cooke, who was so sadly injured, has died since the unfortunate occurrence. DEATH OF THE Ray. ROBERT SWAN, OF ST. MoNANCE.—We regret to have to record the death of the Rev. Robert Swan, minister of St. Monance, which took place at Abercrombie manse. Mr. Swan was up wards of seventy years of age, and had been minister of St. Monance for forty.five years. For a good many years past he has been disabled by bad health, the parochial duties having lately been di-charged with great faithfulness by Mr. Foggo, his assistant and suc cessor.—Fifeshire Journal. ✓ MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. Mid. per ounce for etandard gold, gives an exchange of 25.45; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Haraburgh the price of gold is 437+ per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11+; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.12+, it follows that gold is 0.51 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgb Taciturnity is best learned among men who have none, and loquacity among the taciturn .—Eliza Cook's Journal.

CHANGE OF FORTUNE.—The King's Head posting house at Northallerten, which has been an inn for nearly two centuries, and situated in the centre of the market place, with a spacious assembly-room, and stabling for 100 horses, is now being converted into a farm-house, with 250 acres of land to it. So much for railways. The old coach from York to Newcastle, in 1706, put up at this inn; and the Edinbugh, Berwick, Newcastle, York, and London host coach, established in 1712, also put up at this inn, and at the Golden Lion alternately. The latter coach occupied thirteen days in travelling to and from London and Edinburgh.—Newcastle Courant. The Dublin Evening Post contains replies from Sir John C.

SlR,—Can you inform me, if there is any truth in the rumour that the chief military engineer in the present Commission of the Metropolitan Sewers, " doubts the soundness of the opinions (public as well as private) that the sewage renders the waters of the Thames unfit for culinary or other domestic purposes :" also, that " he considers the objections made are entitled to very little consideration ?"

Kempe, of Teign-villa, Teignrnouth. There were two proposals for official manager to inquire into and report upon the transactions, namely, Mr. Ernest and Mr. G. Goodchap, accountants. The Master, after hearing the parties at considerable length, appointed the former. DIRECT WEST -END AND CROYDON-The winding up of this company's affairs came on yesterday before the Master in Chancery (Tinney), upon the petition of Captain Hamilton, of Hampstead. Mr. H. Harris, who appeared for the petitioner, proposed as official manager to inquire into the transactions, Mr. F. G. Hollond ; and Mr. Toogood, on behalf of some of the members of the acting committee, proposed Mr. Goodchap. The Master appointed Mr. Hollond, inti mating that he could not feel himself justified in appointing any person proposed by individuals who would have to appear as accounting parties to the estate. SOUTH WALEB.—The difficulties between this company and their contractors, on certain parts of the line, have been brought to an adjustment and the works resumed. RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR. RAMSGATE.—An acci dent, which might have been of a very serious nature, occurred to the express train, due here at halt-past seven P.M. on Friday se'nnight, by its running into, be tween Sturry and Grove Ferry, a drovo of bullocks which had got on the line, by the shameful negligence of some one leaving the gates of a level crossing open. Three of the drove were killed, and the carriages covered with their blood. The concussion threw the engine nearly three feet up from the line, but providen tially it took the metals again. The guard (Mitchell) was thrown with some considerable violence against the roof of his box, but we have not heard of any person meeting with injury, otherwise than fright. The train was proceeding at the rate of forty miles an hour. It is to be hoped that the wrongdoers in this case, if disco vered, will he well punished for their stupidity or care lessness, which put so many persons in imminent peril of their lives,—Dover Telegraph. SUSPECTED INCENDIARISM AT ISLINGTON. - Shortly before midnight on Monday an alarm was given that the premises belonging to Mr. Frederick Pizzey, a furniture broker and general dealer, No. 17 Lower road, Islington, were on fire. Mr. Baddely the in spector of the Royal Society for the Protection of Lifo from Fire, quickly attended with the escape, and having entered the premises from one of the upper windows, he made his way to the front cellar, where he found a heap of hay and some rags burning on the floor, over which were piled in a slanting direction four loose boards. The parish engineer and Mr. Baddely succeeded in extin guishing the fire before any considerable damage was dune. Mr. Pizzey was not at home when the alarm was given, and from the fact of some of the shutters being covered over with canvass to prevent the light shining through, there is ground for supposing that during his absence come person entered the premises and set them on fire. Mr. Braidwood's official report describes the cause of the fire as " Doubtful." EXTRAORDINARY GAME-LAW CASE. —At the recent petty session at Ashendon, before the Marquis of Chandos and Messrs. Bernard, Stone, and Martyn, Mr. Robert Penson, farmer, of Brill, was charged by Joseph White, a Woolton gamekeeper, with having, on the 25th of September, on land in his owe occupation, killed a partridge, not being authorised by certificate so to do, whereby he had rendered himself liable to a fine of 20/. To prove the charge, Richard Allen was called, who described himself as gamekeeper to the Rev. G. Chet wode. From his statement it appeared that, at about the middle of the day in question, he went to Mr. Penson's house, where he was regaled with meat and drink, and presented with a shilling. Mr. Penson had invited a friend to a day's shouting, and Allen went with Mr. J. Meads, the friend, and Mr. Penson, over the farm of the latter. While they were out Mr. Penson shot at and killed at partridge. Mr. G. Moore, a soli citor, who appeared for the accused, after dwelling on the base conduct of Allen, who, according to his own showing, had, by his abuse of friendship, acted so as to disentitle him to be believed on his oath, said he was in a position clearly to prove that Mr. Penson was at Thame market at the time spoken of by the witness Allen. And alibi was proved by three witnesses, and it appeared that the defendant was from home from ' morning till night on the day on which Allen bad swora he had committed the offence with which he was charged. The magistrates dismissed the case, with an intimation that they believed the complainant had made a mistake as to the day. It was remarked that Mr. Benson paid his landlord a rent for the game, and that Mr. Chet wode's gamewatcher had not the slightest right to set foot on tho farm. The court was crowded with farmers and other residents in the neighbourhood, who received the decision with applause. t•OUTHWARK PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.—A meeting of this society Was held yesterday evening in the Literary Institution, Borough-road, for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Metropolitan Reform League. The meeting was well attended, the large hall being lull. Mr. A. Pellatt was called to the chair. The principal speaker was Colonel Thompson, M.P., who adduced the inequality of taxation as a principal reason for his adhesion to this movement. He was no smoker himself, and never meant to become one, but if he west tobacco, and was obliged to use that species called shag, which he un derstood to be an inferior kind of tobacco, he should certainly consider it a hardship to be obliged to pay eleven times as much for it to the revenue as did the polished dandy for the cigar he whiffed clang the street. Of this he complained, and did not suppose that he was the only one present who complained iu his heart of such an injustice. The same thing showed itself in the tax on tea; for that which the countess drinks in her drawing-room is taxed far less in proportion to that of the hard-working washerwoman. And this came because the people are not properly represented in Parliament. Mr. Charles Pearson, M.P., was present, and also addressed the meeting, which broke up shortly after ten o'clock. ASTURIAN MINING COMPANY.—A special meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday, at their offices in Austin-friars, " to approve of, or dis sent from, the acts and proposals of the directors and liquidators in respect to the liquidation, dissolution, or reconstruction of the company, and to take into con sideration such proposals as might be submitted to the proprietors." Mr. Cunningham was in the chair, and after some discussion, resolutions were passed for the winding•up of the companies affairs; a call of 21. a share having been made. A committee was also ap pointed for the purpose of reconstituting the company under the Spanish law en tomniandite, in order to avoid further liability w hich might be incurred under the joint-stock law of this country, and for effecting a sale of the property of the company, which, after pay ment of all claims and liabilities, is expected to realise fur the proprietors a balance of somo 60,000/. or 70,0004 sterling. The meeting then separated after a very long sitting. FOUNDERING 07 THE PANDORA STEAMER.--III.• tclligence was, yesterday received at the Custom House of the total loss of this steam-ship, which took place on the morning of the 26th of last month, while on her pas sage from London to Alexandria. She was fallen in with by the Asia, Captain J. Roskell, bound for Now South Wales with emigrants, in lat. 48 31, long. 6 19 W. The Pandora making a signal of distress, the Asia hove to, and as soon as the former vessel came up, the master begged of the Asia to send her boats to them, for the Pandora was fast settling down and ungovernable. This was instantly done, the first and second officers of the Asia taking charge of them. On rowing alongside the steamer was found to be full of water, and not a mo ment was to be lost. Her crew, fifteen in number, im mediately sought refuge in the Asia's boats. In anoth er moment they would all have met with a frightful death, for her boilers exploded, blowing up her decks, and the ship instantly went down. Nothing whatever was saved by the crew, all they had being the clothes they stood in. On board of the Asia they received eve!) , kindness and attentioa. It was the intention of Captain Roskell to ship the crew on board the first vessel the Asia met bound lor London, but not succeeding, the ywere taken on to Mad e i ra , w h ere they were lauded on the 2d. inst. The P an d ora was fully insured at Lloyd 's. She was quite a new steamer, having been launched a few months since from the ship building-yard of Messrs. Robarton and Co., the engi neers, at Dfillwall. She had been purchased by the Egyptian Government. ACCIDENT TO SIR NORTON KNATCUBULL, BART. —On Saturday last, on the arrival of the 4.39 down train at Ashford station, Sir Norton Knatchbull, in attempting to leave the carriage before the trai❑ had stopped, lost his balance, and was thrown with such force upon the platform that his collar-bone was dislocated and his arm broken. Ho was immediately taken in his own carriage, which was waiting his arrival, to Mr. Whitfeld's, surgeon, who rendered him every profes sional assistance, after which he left for Mersham Hatch, where he is now progressing favourably.— Maidstone Gazette. ‘-`-' MARRIAGE Ili HIGE Lim—Yesterday was mar• ried, at St. George's, Hanover-square, by the Hon. and Rev.
