MORNING FIDTTION POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Papers of yesterday contain no leadio,z articles of any public interest. The Morning Herald discusses the question of Medical Reform, and recom mends Mr. Hawes, its chief supporter in Parliament, tc " wash his hands of such a thankless labour." The Times, speaking of a recent pamphlet on the New Poor-law, says that " it is well worthy of being generally perused, as a specimen of the depth of view, honesty, and veracity cf statement, which characterize the Poor-law Commissioners and their satellites." The Morning Chronicle observes, in an article on the state of Pauperism in Scotland : " Glasgow is, perhaps, at this time, the most flourishing city in the empire ; but the destitution of Glasgow is abso lutely frightful. The neglected poor of one part of the empire lower the condition of the poor in other parts." MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS. (FROM THE MnRNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) TIMES.—The Consol account, which closed to-day, has in its progress embraced an important period—namely, that of the alarm eceasioned by the MtLeod affair, and the reaction that has followed it. It opened on tl-e 291 h of February, when the quotation (for the Account) was 89, and at the hostile appearance of affairs in the United States, gradually declined to 87i. This was the liwest point which Consols touched, and they reached it about the bi ginning of March. They then began to rise steadily, and a considerable impetus was given by the pacific turn of Geaeral Harrison's address, and the improved state of feeling exhibited in the American papers that followed the period of inauguration. The rise has continued, and the highest point—namely, 90k—was touched to-day. This particular advance of to-day, must, however, be attributed rather to the state of the account than to any other cause, as the " bears" have preponderated. With respect to the events that have viten place during the progress of this ac count, the Fame remark may be made on the state of the public feeling as was made during the time when the af fairs of the Levant assumed the most hostile appearance. Speculators alone seemed to take advaetage of the poli tical aspect, and the public were never alarmed sufficiently to come into the market as sellers of stock to any extent. On the contrary, it is supposed that the supply of stock would barely hale sufficed to meet the public demand for investment, had it not been for the large sales (300,0001. or 400,0001.) by the Bank broker. To-day large quan tities of stock were taken in by some of the leading ca pitalists and banking firms. Consols for money opened very firm, and advanced from 901 ti 90i, but subsequently the price was not supported. Money was excessively easy, and, at the close of the day, commanded no mere than a nominal value. As an in stance of this may be mentioned a now very unusual ctn. cumstance which occurred in the course of business, namely, the lending of Bank notes upon stack, without any interest b ing demanded for the temporary accommodation. Rio Janeiro papers to the 3d of March have been re ceived to-day by the Penguin. An article in one of the Rio papers, which is belived on the spot to have been written by the Minister of Finance, is expressly directed sgaittA a recurrence to a fresh issue of paper-money as a way cf meeting any part of the deficiency, and hence some have suppceed that a domestic loan will he created to sup ply present wants. It is said that the Minister of Finance has for some time past been paying debts due before he Came into office, by issuing stock to the parties at 83 per rent., which is considerably higher than the market-price. The exchange on England was quoted at the I;:test date 301 , and the local stock, 7.1,4 to As much anxiety has been expressed concerning the probable supply of sugar from the East Indies, some sup posi4 that it would amount to 50,000 tons for the com mercial year from the Ist of May, 1840, to the 30th of Aura, 1841, and others being of opinion that it would fall short of'. that amount, it will be satisfactory to knew that according to a private letter received from Calcutta, Sled dated the 13th of February, tir export already ex ceeds fourteen lacs of maunds, and will, it 13 computed, amount in the sggregtte to seventeen lacs, which is up wards of 62,000 tons. Another private letter from Calcutta mentions the fact that tine American Cotton-planters were about to start for the Junin, POST.—The settlement of the account for the English stock market took place to-day. It proved, as wai to be .expected, a distinctly bear account, the pacific arrangements in various parts of the world hav:ng had the effect of sti saulitirg prices tine! the former settltnr,.day with hardly any interruption. Money was procurable on excecdirgly easy ttrrns ; so much so, in fict, that Bank notes were gi,en, on the deposit of stuck, to a considerable amount without interest. The commit:ea of Spaniab-American bondholders met in the course of the day on the subject of statements that have been lately published by one of our morning eon. temporaries, on the financial affairs of Mosier). The object of them was apparently to produce a '• rig" at the Stock Exchange, and the Committee are desirous, in conse quence of what has been said of their origin, to trace them to their source, we mean officially, for there can be li tie doubt about the author. We_ regret to hear that further disturbances in Peru and Bolivia are talked of, as, although the purpose of a fresh insurrection would most like , y be the restoration of Santa Cruz, it is much to ba desired, for the rake of the com merce of the two Republics, as well as of the Boldholders, that both should enjoy at length a few years of repose. No particulars of the rumoured troubles have transpired. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CkSIBRIDGE.

SKILFUL MINIICELY.—I was again at Count Darn's, and was not a little astonished when Baron Dos genettes stepped up to me, and expressed a wish to see the personification of himself, about which he had heard so much, and begged I would, for a few minutes, become his representative. I could not refuse a request which con veyed so high a compliment to me, though I confess I felt somewhat diffident in attempting the imitation in the pre sence of my distinguished model. By degrees, however, I got inspired with my subject : I moved about, chatting first with people on my right, then with others on my Id', placing my band on the hilt of my swerd, after the doc tor's peculiar manner. I had at my tongue's end some sof the happy mots which were currently assigned to him, and I contrived to bring them in, not perhaps very inaptly. Then, advancing to a lady, and conjuring up all my recol lections of my first interview with the doctor, on his visit to Mademohtelle Mars, I went through a great part of the consultation scene, winding up the whole with a gracious adieu to Talmo, and a bow to Fleury. A loud round of approbation rewarded my effort. Desgenettes was in ccstacy ; he laughed heartily, and, advancing to me, cor dially shook my hand, and expressed his astonishment at an y power of mimicey.—Theodore Hook's French Stage. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The attention of 'the public should be drawn to a subject which, if not Apromptly attended to by the proper authorities, will mate q&ally affect the comfort and convenience of all who may kave business to transact et the Bank and the Royal Ex change about tp be erected. By virtue of an Act obtained by the Bank for the widening and improving the streets adjoiLing, the old church at the corner of St. Bartholo mew -tang was pulled down, and the ground sold to the :Sun Fire-Ace, for the purpose of erecting their new >building upon that site, according to a plan approved of by vthe Lords of the Treasury, and agreed upon between them. ',Whether by an 6versight or oth erwise, we cannot s ay , but 06 .rtain it is, that the Sun Fire-office are now laying down theta• foundation full four feet in advance of the line as laid down in their agreement with the Trea sur y , thus curtailing by so much the width and dimension of the net! street. We trust that the proper authorities will lose no time in inves tigating the subject, in order that the public may not suffer by the cupidity of private interests, in direct violation of t.tho Act made for their protection. SA.VRE, APRIL 12.—The City of London on approaching the "deb% this morning made signal of distress, and another steamboat was sent to her as sistance. She has brought her into Barbour. The main beam of the .engine is broken, and it is feared she must return to Lonci,,lu to be righted. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Arßa 16. RAYNE V. BENEntoT. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied the LORD CHANCELLOR the greater part of the day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 16. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed peti tions and short causes to-day, the hearing of which occupied the Court the whole morning. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, APRIL 16. ( Sittings in Banco. ) At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Justice Wigh man took the usual oaths of abjuration and supremacy. NICHOLSON v. FALL Sir F. POLLOCK said this was an action brought by the assignees of a bankrupt to recover the amount of an execution, on the ground of its being a fraudulent preference. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, on the sth of February last, and a verdict was had for the plaintiff, and the Learned Counsel now moved to set aside the verdict, on the ground of the admissibility of improper evidence. The defendant was a relation of the bankrupt, and in order to show the state of the bankrupt's affairs at the time, which was the most material point in the case, Counsel for the plaintiffs called the attorney under the commission, in order that by his evidence he might contrast the amount of the dividend actually paid w ith the amount of the debts proved under the commission. The Learned Counsel cited several authorities to 'how that such evidence was inadmissible. The Court would confer with the Learned Judge before whom the trial took place, and then give its decision. THE QUEEN" V. THE JUSTICES OF LANCASHIRE. Mr. CRESSWELL moved in this case for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not issue to bring up an order of two Justices of the County of Lancaster. His application was grounded upon the I I Ith section of the Municipal Act. It appeared that the Borough Justices made an order for the removal of a pauper and an appeal was made to the County Justices, who heard and determined the ap peal, quash ing the former order. Now, he apprehended that the County Justices had no jurisdiction at all, because the section distinctly provided, that the County Magistrates should have jurisdiction only in these cases where there was no separate jurisdiction is the borough. If there was any appeal, it should have been to the Borough Justices. After referring to the section in question, the COURT granted the tole. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, APRIL 16. (Sittings in Banco.) HODGES V. COOPER. This was an action of assumpsit brought by the plaintiff, a linen-draper, against the defendant, a gentleman of independ ent fortune, for goods furnished to the wife of the latter. The defence was that Mrs. Cooper was separated from her husband with a maintenance, and that the goods furnished by the plain tiff, who was alleged to be cognizant of the separation, were not necessaries. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Erskine, and a ver dict was found for the plaintiff in damages, 1491. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL this day abtained a rule nisi, for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The Court rose at a quarter past twelve o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, 11PBIL 16. (Sittings in Banco.) ROADKNIGHT V. GREEN. Mr. HUMFREY showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Watson, which called upon the Master to review his taxa tion. The Learned Gentleman said it was an action for as sault and battery, which was tried at the Warwick A ssizes in 1837, when the Jury gave only ls. damages. The Learned Judge who tried the cause refused to certify, in order to allow the petitioner to recover his costs, and under such circum stances he, of course, had not had them taxed, nor had he thought it worth his while to sign judgment. In the mean time Lord Denman's Act was passed by the Legislature, which repealed the statutes of Charles 11. and Elizabeth referring to costs in personal actions, and they being as if they had never existed, he knew of nothing which would prevent them from now obtaining their costs. Mr. Baron PARKE—The Act repeals these Acts, and con tains no proviso for cases where judgment has not been en tered up. Mr. HUMFREY—Certainly. The act wholly repealed the former statutes, and it had been often laid down that a sta tute when repealed became as if it had never existed, and as the law now stood he knew of nothing to prevent them from obtaining their costs. The plaintiff had not signed judg ment until the 20th of January, 1841. He was not compel led to do so before—there was no Rule of Court requiring him to do so until he pleased. The defendant might have ruled him to do so, but had neglected that, and having signed the judgment, as he was entitled to do, on the 20th of January, 1841, they must take the law as it then was. Mr. 13a...1-on PARKE—If you succeed, this Act will prove a large bonus to all who have brought frivolous actions,—at all events (luring the last twenty years. Mr. llU MFREY—Certainly. No doubt neither the noble author of the Bill nor the Legislature intended to grant such a boon, but their Lordships must administer the law as they found it. • Mr. Baron ALDERSON—If you succeed Vlere will be avast influx of business in the Courts. Mr. HumF RE v—Unless a Commission were issued to ascer tain the number of such actions, and stop all proceedings, no thing else, he contended, could prevent the plaintiff in the present action from recovering his cost, for the statutes which prevented him were now repealed. The Learned Gentleman cited several cases, in order to show that the Courts had held that plaintiff had a right to sign judgment when he pleased, and that they were bound to apply the law which was in force when such judgment was signed. He trusted the rule would be discharged. Mr. WATSON supported the rule, and at great length en deavoured to construe the words, Shall recover by verdict of a Jury," to mean " Recover through, or by means of a verdict." He also contended that the Act of Lord Den man ' did not apply to an old verdict. The verdict given in 1837 must be satisfied according to the law as it then stood. The plaintiff was entitled to sign judgment on the first day of Banco, after the verdict of Nisi Prins, and his judgment must date from that day when Lord Denman's Act was not thought of, and he was entitled to no more costs than he would have been on that day. He further contended that the Act of Lord Denman repealed the statute in respect of all future actions, but it left all former actions under the law which was in force at the time of verdict. That was the clear intention of the framer of the Act, and the Legislature in passing it, and their Lordships would carry out such intentions by making the Rule absolute. The Court took time to consider the case. HUGHES V. ROGERS. This was an action upon a bond for 501., dated in 1825, which was tried at Shrewsbury 1 efore Justice Coleridge—ver dict for defendant. The obligor was Mrs. Rogers, and the attest:ng witnesses were John Rogers, his son, and John Wilding, a son-in-law. The obligor was dead, and the action was brought against i-is sons, who were the executors, and one of them was the attesting witness. At the trial Wilding, as was expected, denied his handwriting. On the part of the plaintiff they were obliged to produce witnesses to prove the handwriting of both the attesting witnesses, which they did. A son of Rogers, the defendant, was called, who stated that the writing in the bond was not his father's. Another paper was put into his hand, the signature to which he also denied to be his father's, although they were prepared and offered to prove that several persons saw him sign it ; but this evidence was rejected by the Judge. There was no other suggestion of the forgery, and if it were so, it was odd that the party guilty of the crime should have increased the chances of detection by having the names of two attesting witnesses at a time when one was enough. Mr. Sergeant Lu DLOW now moved fur a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the verdict being clearly against the weight of the evidence in the case.—Rule granted. THOMPSON T. GIBSON, This was the last action which was tried at the Westmor land Assizes, before Mr. Justice Coltman, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, one shilling damages. It was a Special Jury cause, but the Judge was not asked im mediately to certify that it was a fit cause to be tried. It being the last cause, the Judge had proceeded to his lodgings at Appleby, and there he was asked to grant a certificate, which he said he would be very willing to give if he then had the power ; he granted the certificate and re ferred the parties to the Court. The words of the Act of Parliament said "immediately after the trial." The question was, what was the meaning of the word immediately? Lord Ellenborough and Lord Tenterden had both laid it down the Judge could not grant the certificate the day after the trial. He submitted that if any other Act had occu pied the mind of the Judge after the trial, the power to grant the certificate was gone. In this case the Judge had adjourned the Court, and gone to his lodgings.—Rule granted. ELLIS V. TAYLOR. Mr. CRESSWELL moved to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, whitth was for 36/. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and brought his action to reco er compensa tion for the sale of his goods under a distres=, after a tender of the amount due, with expenses. It appeared that a third party came after the goods had been impounded, laid down the rent due, and a further sum for expenses, at the same time telling the bailiff that if he took a farthing more than the law allowed, he would bring an action. The Jury found this was a tender, but upon the cases, he contended, that it was no tender at all.—Rule granted. SHERIFFS' COURT, 7' HURIDdr, APRIL 15. (Before Mr. Under Sheriff &ROHM.) CRIM. CON.-GLEOG V. WADE This was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff was the son of a gentleman of fortune, residing in Cheshire. The parties were married in 1835, but the match was not approved of by the plaintiff's fa mily. After the marriage the plaintiff and his wife re sided at Torquay, but in 1840 they came to London, and Mrs. Glegg resided at a boarding-house in Claremont-square' Pentonville. In the beginning of January the defendant was residing at the house, suspicion to his family.wasexeited, although the 6 h of Januaryt 2 heplain tiffwas thenbut n ou o n s as visit Mrs. Glegg left, saying she was going into the country for a few days, and the same afternoon Mr. Wade also left, and did not return. Mrs. Glegg came back in a week, and Mr. Glegg soon after called, and they went down to Torquay. It was, however, discovered that Mrs. Gl egg , when she absented herself for a week, had been living with Mr. Wade at the French Horn Inn at Wandsworth. Mrs. Glegg is about 40 or 45, Mr. Glegg about 27. Mr. Wade is 22 or 23. Mr. Wade had a situation at a chemist's, but be had left it. Mrs. Glegg paid a guinea a week for her board a nd lodging. Latterly Mr. Glegg called every day. T Th he e r D y lr ituhgorttlairPhehsaivtaintigons,umgmavee a summed up the evidence, verdict w for the plaintiff —Damages one fart hin g . INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 15. "THE WATERFORD ARMS Jane Edwards, a young woman, applied to be dis charged. She was supported by Mr. Woodroff . . The insolvent had kept the Waterford Arm., in the Haymarket, which bad been called the Turk's Head. There were some curious statements in her schedule. The insolvent ascribed her insolvency to various causes—the in sufficiency of her profits, the breakage of hrr property, and not being able to gat inter debts. There was an item of 60/. as a loss for the breakage of glass and the damage of furniture. Several debts were claimed from gentlemen for wine and money lent, and in the list appeared the name of Lord Waldegrave as a debtor for 48/. 10F. for " wine and money advanced." His Lordship was inserted as a good debtor. The insolvent was asked a few questions by Mr. Com missioner Bower:. It appeared that she left in November the Waterford Arms, where she paid 1301. 10s. a year as rent. A dis tress was put in, but a gentleman of fortune came forward and paid the money. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN asked her who now kept the house ?—The insolvent said she did not know. The Court adjourned the case to perfect some services of notices on creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOIV-HOUSE. A mendicant of rather uncommon character, who said that his name was Jones, was brought bef)re the Lord Mayor, charged by a gentleman of the name of Knill, un der the following circumstances : The defendant, who walked with a most independent air to the bar of the Justee-room, bad called at Mr. Knill's house for charity, and the servant girl to whom he ap pealed was struck with commiseration, and relieved him with a penny. Mr. Knill himself having beard the knock at the door and the voice of the defendant, went out to see who the visitor was, and finding how the mater was, desired that such vagab)nds should not knock, or they should go to the station-house. The defendant's tone of supplication thereupon suddenly changed into the fiercest abuse, and he called Mr. Knill "a b y vagabond," and spoke of breaking the nose of another gentleman who happened to witness what took place, and expostulated on the occasion. As Mr. Knill thought such a fellow ought to pay his next visit to the Lord Mayor, a policeman was called and desired to procure an introduction to the Chief Magistrate. The defendant, who had been an itinerary vender of publications, then let fly such a volley of abuse at Mr. Knill and the policeman as showed that Le had faculiiei far above the average class of mendicants, but he was at last conveyed to the station-house, and from thence to the presence of the Lord Mayor, The Lorin MAYOR—What excuse can you make, Mr. Jones ? Defendant-_I declare to you, my Lord, tint this man (pointing to Mr. Knill) has grossly misrepresented my conduct. I defy him to say that I did not address him as one gentleman would another,—(A laugh.) The LORD NI/atm—Why should you kncck at his door for charity? You received a penny from his servant. Defendant—l did not knock at the door. I merely asked this lady (the servant girl) for assistance poii ely, and she attended to me, and answered me like a lady, when out comes this man (Mr. Knill), and says " get out you vagabond." That was language not to be endured by a respectable person, so I told him he was a vagabond, and then he called this policeman, who acted like a ruffian, and took me to the station-house. The policeman said that he heard the defendant use the most opprobrious terms in addressing the complainant, end when witness was called, away ran the beggarman, but soon to be apprehended. Defendant —This fellow (the officer) is a mere brute and liar. I never ran; I merely retaliated, when I was insulted by that man (Mr. Kai), whose conduct was very different indeed from that of the lady who assisted me, and who has a claim to the charatter'of humanity. The policeman.—l never heard worse language in my life than the defendant made use of, my Lord. He said to a gentleman who was with the complainant, I say, do you want your nose broken, ell ?"—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR.. Defendant—you ate an able and a well educated man, and cannot be at a loss to support yourself in a proper manner instead of going about in this disgraceful way of beggary and insolence. "'Defendant.--I am, my Lord ; but I happened to be in need of pecuniary assistance. I have always been a hard working man night and morning. The LORD MAYOR.— I dare say you are known to the officers of the Mendicity Society, and you shall have an opportunity of seeing them to-morrow. The defendant then requested that his Lordship would order the policeman to treat him respectfully in conducting hi►rt to the Compter, and was remanded till this day. 111147.

A very respectable looking young man, named Tames Ilan nem, was charged before Mr. Alderman Humphery with frau dulently obtaining money under the following rather singular circuu.stances:— Mr. Edward Hockley, a conveyancer, residing in Doctors'- Commons, stated that the prisoner produced some title-d eds relating to a freehold estate in Hotherhithe, the property of his (prisoner's) aunt, an old lady residing in Blandford, Hereford fordshire, and a letter purporting to be signed by her, autho rising the advance of certain sums of money on it. To the best of witness's belief the signature is a forgery. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphries, the solicitor for the de fence—Had seen the prisoner's aunt, whose name was Sharpies, write once. Had had dealings with the prisoner before ; at present had a bill of his for 5001. in his possession, and another for 3401. was placed in his banker's hands. David Strong said he was a saddler in New Bond-street, and had been long acqainted with Mrs. Sharpies and her family. About four years ago she made a will, to which he was appointed executor, which was since destroyed. She lived with the prisoner, who was married to her niece, and from a letter which he (witness) received, relative to some papers being abstracted, he was induced to go down to have her removeeelsewhere. Had advanced 71. 10s. for her ex penses. She had since executed another will, by which the whole of her property was left to him, subject to the payment of her debts. Thought the signature to the letter of authority was a forgery, as she seemed usually to lean heavier on her pen. Cross-examined by Mr. Humphries—Whenever the old lady signed her name latterly, she was so feeble as to be obliged to get a person to guide her hand. Did not think this would cause much difference in the style of writing. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY observed that the property had been all left to the last witness, Strong, subject to the payment of her debts ; he had a great interest in proving the present charge of forgery. He had advanced her only 71. 10s., and it struck him (Sir. Ald. Humphery) that if the present case ware established, the money, which now appeared due under the letter of authority from the testator's estate, would be wiped away to the benefit of the legatee. Sir. Strong here interrupted the Worthy Alderman, and said he had large claims against the prisoner at the bar, and could have transported him long ago if he chose, and he did not expect that the Court would .have entered into any of these details. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERS said except Strong was prepared to establish his assertions they were highly improper. It was often necessary to go into such cases very minutely, to discover the motives influencing the parties. He should admit the pri soner to bail. Roe, the officer, said he arrested the prisoner at the Belle Sauvage Inn, and found in his carpet-bag 50/. in notes, three cheque-books, with London bankers, with whom he had ac counts, and a quantity of plate, some of which bore hisinitials. The prisoner offered him a five-pound note, for the purpose of allowing him to escape. When he brought him to the Compter he ran away, but was overtaken within a few doors of the Belle Savauge. In reply to Mr. Humphries, Roe said that the prisoner, in offering him the five-pound note, did not say it was to allow him to escape; and his reason for running away from him, out of the Compter, might be try and see some friends who were stopping at the Belle Sauvage, as he had begged hard to see them before he was conveyed to prison. BO W-STREET. Sarah Neal and Ellen Smith were charged with having robbed a gentleman, who resides in Westm lister, of his watch,' as he was passing along the Strand. The complainant stated that he was going along the Strand en Thursday rather the worse of liquor, when he met the pri soners, who asked him to treat them, and, as he was always very liberal when a little intoxicated, he at once consented, and proceeded with them to a public-house, and stayed there a short time. As soon as they got into the street again he felt the first prisoner's hands about his pockets, and directly after she ran away, and he seized the other prisoner and on putting his hand into his pocket he found his watch was gone. Upon this he told the prisoner he had detained, that if she would assist him to regain nis watch, he would give her all the money he had about him, as the watch was a family one, and he had had it in his possession for twenty-five years. He then gave the prisoner half-a•crown, and a little time after wards two shillings more, and she attempted to run away, but he prevented her and gave her into custody. The other pri soner was subiequentiy taken into custody. A police officer, who was on duty at the station-house, over heard a conversation between the prisoners, as to how much they could obtain on the watch. The prisoners both denied the charge, and they were re.• manded till Wednesday next, in order that search might be made for the watch. --- THE WEATHER. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE. STREET.

We wish some etymological correspondent would have the goodness to tell us what is the language the persons in the following dialogue, extracted from Sir E. L. Bul wer's play of Money, are presumed to make use of:-- " MACSTUCCO. ' He's a mon o' teeste, Mr. Evelyn. He taulks o' buy ing a veela, just to pool down and build nap again. Ah, Mr. Macfinch, a design for a piece of pleete, eh " MACFINCH (showing the drawing). " Yces, sir, the shield o' Alexander the Great, to hold ices and lemonade 1 It will cost two thoosand pound I " MACSTUCCO. " And it's dirt cheap. Ye're Scotch, arn't ye ? " MACFINCH. " Aberdounshire I Scraitch me, and I'll scraitch y I" We recommend this to the notice of the editor of the new edition of Jamieson. Our discreet Manager has omitted it, as something equally beyond his own compre hension and that of his audience. Where is " Aberdeen shire ?" We suspect it is a fictitious entity created by a logical deduction from the curiously geographical peregri nations of Wordsworth's Peter Bell, who wandered " All through the bonny shire of Ayr, As far as Aberdeen." Aberdoun has evidently a much nearer kindre4 to the shire of Ayr. What is the meaning of " teeste?" What does a man do when he " taulks ?"—anything like what we in Scotland would call conversing ? What is pool ?" What is " oop ?" Above all, what is " scraitelt ?" Is it a synonym to the English " scratch," and the Aher deenshire " :cart?" We suspect Sir Edward's notions of Scotch are much like those which Hood's lady friend, met,tiot.ed in his " Up the Rhine," formed of German, viz., English misspelt and mispronounced. The lady in question, wishing to make a German cook un derstand that a fowl was wanted for dinner, groped about in the dark for a German trans' ttion of the word, thus : "Itis a live creature—a bird—_a bard—a he ird—n hen— a hone—a fowl —a—fool—a foal ; its all covered with feathers—fati,ers—fe-ders—fedders." This last was a hit n ear the mark, for it produced a bundle of stationers' quills 9 • the lady, howeve r , wou l d have found a much mote distinct key to conversation with German cooks by learn ing tie German language ; and Sir Edward, and some v w cu h r o ct v e en in tur t e he to ir e d ra : instead of merely guessi ng at our lant,uage they were to w t i tlife, o vi f ,o t ,i3dCbneckfnaery smorechoo a, c S o c u o r t s t e i h f, 0 other learn it. --Scotsman. y e3e gave e 0: accomplices, .r to e sms a e ceebvs:e every. been BERLIN, APRIL s.—Orders given to prosecute Dr. Jacobi, author of the Four Q um . tons" for high treason.

THE SILK GOWN—THE QUACKERY OF THE METHODISTS.-A paragraph appeared in the papers a few days since beaded " The Silk Gown , " contai ning a statement that the question of clerical g own s be i n g worn by Wesleyan Ministers was in agitation by that body throughout the country, and that in consequence of th e disapprobation maaifcsted of the Rev. W. Bunting's ap. pearing in one, he had withdrawn himself till Confer. ence. We learn that it is not true that the question is in agitation by the Wesleyan body throughout the cowl. try. As regards Manchester itself, even there the subject is anything but agitated. So far from the Rev. w. liunting haying withdrawn himself, he still continues to preach as b e f o re, and in his - gown.—Evening Paper. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &c.

Information has been given to the police of numerous depredations under the following circumstpees. On joints of meat having been purchased, and ordered to bp "sent home," the butcher's boy has been followed to the residence of the customer where he has left the joint. A fellow, attired as a butcher. after watching the boy, and seeing the meat delivered, in a short lapse of time calls at the house, affecting haste, and informs 69 servant, or other party, that the lad by mis take has delivered the joint at the wrong house, when it is usually given to him and he makes his escape with the pro perty, A description of the thief 13 given, and the police are on the alert to eapttge THE BANK DiuECTORS AND CLERKS. The, Court of Directors of the Bank of England, on the Bth inst., passed some re olutions to establish a guarantee fund for the clerks of t ha. establishment in lieu of finding securities. According to these resolutions each clerk in the service of the Bank is, on or before the sth of next July, to pay 2s. per coot. on the amount of security re quired under the existing system, and is to pay a like amount on every ensuing sth of April until five payments have been made. The sums raised by these contributions are to be invested in Consols or Three per Cent. Reduced, and to stand in the names of the Governor and Deputy Governor under the title of " The Guarantee Fund for the Clerks of the Bank of England," until, with the in vestments of the interest, the fund shall amount to 6,0001. stock. This fund is to be held for the pur. pose of making good any losses by . the acts or defdulis of the clerks, and the resolution of the Court of Directors is to be tha authority for the sale of so much stock as they shall specify, the demand being, how. aver, limited to the actual sum for which the clerks will have been required to give security. The Directors may, upon their own terms. admit a clerk again to become a subscriber to the fund, after a demand has been made upon .t to meet ?he losses occasioned by his defaults. When the fund is reduced by claims, the interest on the remainder is to be invested until the fund shall again amount to 6,000/. stock, provided the reduction shall not be to the extent of 1,300/. ; but if it be reduced to that amount, each subscribing clerk is on the quart--day next succeeding the reduction to pay a sum not exceeding per sent., and continue paying on every sth of April till the 6,000/. stock is again reinstated. Accumulations of interest, subscriptions, &c., beyond the limit of the 6,000/. are to be paid to the Clerks' Widows Fund; but the Di. rectors are at liberty to extend the limit if they think fit. Clerks elected into the service of the Bank are at once to pay 10s. per cent. on the surn for which security is required, and clerks appointed to situations, whereby a greater amount of security is required of them, are to pay in addition to their former payments the sum of 10s. per cent., and not be subjected to further payment, except in the case of a reduction beyond 1,3001. As for the bonds now held on behalf of the clerks, the sureties, but not the clerks themselves, are to be considered discharged on the completion of the fifth annual payment, and the clerks may anticipate the payments, if they wish to release their securities, while clerks who have not given bonds already, are to give their personal bonds, which the Bank may put in suit in case of default, in order to make good a loss to the guarantee fund. In the case of minors a bond is to be given by a surety. That the system may not he adhered to if it is not found to answer its purpose, the Bank re serves to itself the right of returning the subscriptions, and reverting to the system at present existing.— Times City Article.

SUGAR.—In the West India market much heaviness has prevailed this week, both Grocers and Refiners purchasing with much caution, and so limited have been the transactions, not above 120 hhds and trs having been disposed of during the two market clays, and these at such irregular Ives, that it is difficult to quote accurate prices, and they must be regarded as little better than nominal, the rates accepted however are Is under those of this day week. The real state of the market will, however, be tested on Tuesday by a public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes of the new crop, being the first this season, when some opinion may be farmed as to how prices are likely.to rule for the next few weeks. _ _ _ TO-day the market was in a very dull state, and the trifling quantity disposed of was at prices in favour of buyers.
