Bateau , relative to it s di sso l ut i on, had met on Wednesday , and that, after a mos t animated discussion, it had unanimously resolved to reject it. The majority of the Committee, moreover, decided that the decree of the 15 th Decemb er , whici ; fixed at ten the number of the organic laws to b e framed by the Assembly, should undergo no mods_ cation. Le National states that, notwithstanding the greatest efforts made by the enemies of the National Assembly to obtain signatures to a petition praying for its dissolution, prepared in the department of the Calvados, which contains 150,000 electors, not more than 1,000 persons could be prevailed on to affix their names. M. de Cormenin (Timon) is said to be preparing a reply to M. Guizot's work on democracy. The British sloop Neva was wrecked on the 11th inst., while endeavouring to enter the port of Gran sytkvoVivville, and six out of nine, of which her crew was cora l', " —_,-/.•.r.sposed, unfortunately perished. The captain of the Passe-partout, of the Republican steam navy, se e i ng 'the danger to which the British sloop was exposed, dispatched a boat with seven picked men to her assistance, but unfortunately the boat was upset, and lva out of the wren were drowned. 1%1. THE SUN, LONDON, A letter from Troyes, of the 16th instant, states, that on the preceding day three accidents occurred on the Montereau Railroad. In the first case no life was lost ; in the second, a cantonnier was killed ; and in the third, a passenger, who endeavoured to overtake a train, was likewise killed. It was said yesterday at the National Assembly that M. de Champvans, supported by a great num ber of colleagues, intended to address interpellations to the Ministry on the subject of the clubs. M. de Champvans, it is said, came to that determination on the ground that the Constitution, whilst guaranteeing the right of meeting only, thought of accidental or occa sional meetings, and not permanent or periodical ones, such as clubs undoubtedly are. Before, however, car rying his intention into effect, the Hon. Member in formed, it is said, M. 0. Barrot and M. Leon Faucher of his design, and added that he should call on them to suppress absolutely all the clubs, in order to give a pledge of security to the country. It is positively affirmed that both Ministers replied to him that they intended themselves bringing in a Bill relative to the clubs, in the sense alluded to by M. de Champvansand his friends. _ _ . The Constitutionnel says :—" In learning that their trial was near at hand, the prisoners of the affair of May 15 entered on the task of choosing their defen ders. Several lawyers of the Mountain are already designated. MM. Ledru Rollin and Theodore Bac are to defend, it is said, one Barbes, and the other Albert; M. de Courtais is to have M. Michael (de Bourges). As to Raspail and Blanqui they intend speaking for themselves. It is not known if M. Louis Blanc and M. Caussidiere will appear at the trial. On leaving France they said they certainly would. 82d Foot—Lieut.

Accounts from Pesth of the Bth bring the follow ing atrocious proclamation which has been issued by Prince Windischgratz : " Any inhabitant who is taken with a weapon of any description in his hand' will be immediately hanged. " If the inhabitants of any place should, united, dare to attack any Imperial royal military courier, any trans. ports, any or single commanding officers, or to injure them in any way soever, such place shall be made level with the earth. " The authorities of the different places shall answer with their heads for the preservation of the public peace. " Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, Field-Marshal. " Head quarters, Nicola, Dec. 26th, 1848." General Bern is gone to the Bukowina from Tran sylvania by way of Bistritz, with the probable inten tion of (getting up a revolution in Poland, which is at present naturally comparatively unprotected, all spare troops having marched under Field- Marshal Lieutenant Schlich into Hungary. It also appears that Kossuth entertains the same idea, and it is very probable that he is now on his road to Galicia across the Carpathians. There can be little doubt from the proceedings of Messaros, that if he had beaten Field-Marshal Lieutenant Schlich at Kaschan he intended to have marched into Galicia. This is the more to be presumed, as the official report of the defeat of Messaros makes mention of a Polish correspondence of great consequence having fallen into the hands of the Imperialists. In the sitting of the Diet at Kremsier on the 13th the second paragraph of the fundamental law came under discussion. This paragraph as originally pro posed was as follows : All subjects of the State are equal; the constitu tion and laws define under what conditions the rights of an Austrian subject can be acquired, exercised, and forfeited. All privileges of rank are abolished ; distinctions of nobility of all kinds are neither to be granted nor recognised by the State. Public offices and employments in the State are open to all subjects who may possess the necessary qualifications. Foreigners, if not naturalized, are excluded from civil employments in the State and from the National Guard. Only personal merit shall give a right to public distinctions and rewards. _No distinction is hereditary. The first part of the second paragraph—" All subjects in the State are equal," has passed in the sense that—" The whole body of subjects of the State form the people." The second part as to the abolition of the nobility is still pending. ITALY. The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 9th instant, contains the following remarks on the excommuni cation issued by the Pope against the Roman revo lutionists : _ _ _ " The Liberals have never attacked the sacred principle of the Catholic religion, nor directed any attempt against the spiritual power of the Pope. Thus, the communication cannot affect them. Nor are the canons of the Council of Trent applicable to them, since they do not deprive the Pope of his temporal power, for it was the Pope himself who deserted it by abandoning his dominions. The excommunication consequently can only affect the men who advised the Pope to depart and take measures which have reduced us to the necessity of convoking a Constituent As sembly in order not to remain without a Government. When the expulsion of the Austrians was contemplated, the spiritual power flinched from the accomplish ment of a duty sacred for every Italian prince, and now, when his own temporal power is in danger, the Pope does not hesitate to appeal to his spiritual power. In order to be subjects of the Pope, we must not only renounce Italy—we must also renounce her under penalty of excommunication. Thanks to the good sense of the people, we believe that we can remain Christians, Italians, and freemen at the same time, and that the excommunication really applies to those who, having advised his Holiness to fly, and now maintaining him in an inexcusable position, expose him to lose his temporal power. Rome is tranquil, per fectly tranquil. May those words intimidate the cowards who recommended the Sovereign Pontiff to adopt such an extreme course, in order to produce a civil war, which they had hitherto vainly attempted to kindle." The Roman Ministry have abolished the laws of primogeniture by a decree, in virtue of a preceding decision of the Chambers. Lord Carlisle, Captain Lock, and Henry F. Richardson, Esq., have been elected patrons of the Mariners' Friend Society. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

On the 25th of October last, the extensive works for the conveyance of water from lake Cochituate (or Koo-chee-awa, an aboriginal term for " clear, beautiful water,") to Boston, a distance of nearly twenty miles by the usual route, were so nearly completed that the water was formally let on with great ceremonial, through an ornamental fountain at Boston common, when it imme diately sprung to a height of nearly 80 feet, amidst the gratulations of an immense multitude, assembled from all parts of the state of Massachusetts, and even of new England throughout. The day was one of jubilee, opening with the sound of bells and cannon, followed by military reviews, and civilian pro cessions through triumphal arches, and closing with the spectacle of fireworks and illuminated fountains.. The undertaking was begun only two years and two months before, and was deemed one of peculiar difficulty. The culvert is a brick oval in hydrauliccement, 6 feet 4 inches in height, and nearly 15 miles in length, extending only from the late gatehouse, which is of granite, to Brookline, where it ends in a reservoir of granite, whence the water is carried through cast-iron pipes to the town reservoirs. The other works in masonry are chiefdy in granite, plain, but substantial. From the reservoirs at Boston, the water will be forced by its own pressure through the highest building in the city. One of them will contain two weeks':supply, while the aqueduct is capable of discharging more than ten millions of gallons a day. The small pipes, which are to be run into each house at the public expense, are of lead ; and as the water is said to be of remarkable purity, it is to be hoped that the prudence of thus ming a metal zo npt to be autcd on by the water in the direct ratio of its purity has been well tested. About three millions of dollars have been expended on these works, and abou t half a million more will be requisite. The town lands, it is said, will redeem the whole expense in a few years, independent of the rate charged to individuals, which is to be a very low one, till altogether withdrawn, as it is intended ultimately to be, if not deemed requisite as a source of increased income to the city. The chief engineer of the main division of the works, namely, between the lake and Brookline, was Mr. E. S. Chesbrough, of Newton; resident engineer, Mr. M`Kean.—The Builder. THE HON. AND REV. BAPTIST NOEL.---It having been announced that the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel would, on Tuesday evening, deliver an address on the " Church and the World," in Exeter Hall, the announce ment created a great sensation in the religious world. The hall was crowded. The platform tvas chiefly occupied by ministers of various denominations. At half-past eight the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman ap peared on the platform, accompanied by the com mittee of the Yuung Men's Association. The Hon. F. Cowper, M.P., was unanimously called on to preside. The Hon. Chairman, after having very briefly addressed the meeting, introduced to the assembly the lion. and Rev. Gentleman (Baptist Noel), who, in commencing his address, remarked that it was far from his wish to stand in the position he then occupied. He was sorry in one sense be had been unable to absent himself upon that occasion, but having promised to address the Young Men's Association, he was unwillingly obliged to do so. He then proceeded to say that he had not come there to bring before them that evening any new truths, but only to illustrate an d en force those which they a evidently expect e d, by a large proportion of the meeti ng , Id often heard before. H e was to make some specific relerencea to the circumstances under which he had recently seceded from the Church, but he scrupulously abstained from all allusion to the subject. Neither did he make a single reference to him self individually. Although his subject, " The Church and the World," might naturally have led him to say something on the question of Church establishments, he avoided all allusion to it, and faithfully fulfilled the pro mise he gave in the outset of his address, that he would confine himself to the inculcation and illustration of principles which were purely of a practical nature. THE PNEUMATIC PILE•DRIVING PROCESS. A hollow iron cylinder, 24 feet in length and 4} in diameter, was lately sunk, for mining purposes, into dry sand on the sea shore, at W heal Ramorth Mine, Per ronzabuloe, Cornwall, by Dr. Potts's pneumatic pile driving process. The sinking, on the occasion first recorded, went on at the rate of twenty-four inches in 50 minutes; but the process was suspended to allow scientific men to witness its further progress on the day appointed, when the descent was continued " at the rate of 3 inches a minute, accomplishing a descent of 2 feet 2 inches in 8 minutes, when it was feared that it would disappear altogether, and the work was abruptly suspended."— The Builder. AMERICAN OFFICERS FOR THE GERMAN NAVY.— It is rumoured that Commodore Parker and Com manders Dupont. Buchanan, and Barron, of the navy. have received furloughs from the department, for the purpose of proceeding to Europe to organize the new navy recently created by the Federal German Govern ment. Commodore Parker is to have the rank of Ad miral, and his colleagues, it is stated, that of Vice- Admiral, with tho corresponding pay and emoluments. The selection of American officers to accomplish this de licate and important duty is a high compliment to our gallant little navy; and we are sure the confidence thus manifested will not be disappointed or abused. We also learn that Captain Latimer has been ordered to the com mand of the frigate Savannah, now fitting out at the Brooklyn yard. and supposed to be destined for the Pacific, as flagship. Several other officers are men- tioned as beilig ordered to report for her by the Ist of December, but as our information is not definite yet, we omit a list. of their name's. The Savannah goes to Norfolk first to be docked, and thence wilt csrry out 200 supernumeraries to the vessels in the Pacific, whose crews, it is understood, have been greatly diminished by desertions, in consequence of the enormous bounty offered them to engage in the search for gold in California.—New York Herald. CURIOUS DISCOVERY IN ROME.—The following interesting announcement forms part of a letter dated English College, Rome, Sept. 28, 1848.—" In a vineyard belonging to the chapter of St. John Lateran, some curi ous sepulchral remains have been discovered; but the series will not be altogether excavated before November. One piece represents a doorway to a temple in the forum, and even this remnant, in consequence of the name and site being inscribed on the cornice, threatens to disturb some portions of our Roman topography. As yet no one is allowed to sketch the fragments."—Builder. GREAT FLOAT OF ICE IN THE CLYDE.—Four of he Clyde steamers could not leave Glasgow on Tuesday for the lower ports, being hemmed in at the Bromielaw by the ice. On that day the Clyde presented an extraordinary appearance, as the whole surface of the river, from the furthest tide-way down to Renfrew, was covered with a dense mass of broken ice, crushed and tossed together in the most confused manner, through which the steamers had great difficulty in forcing their way. In some cases it was only after repeated efforts that the tugs could move onwards through the dense ice which lay jammed in a confused mass on all sides. The ferry boats could not ply, as there was no clear water, the small runlets opened in the wakes of the steamers being immediately closed up.—Edinburgh Advertiser. BRAZIERS' BENEVOLEN T INSTITUTION.—Last even ing the half-yearly general meeting was held in the theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton buildings, Chancery lane, to receive the report, and for the election of a pensioner. In the unavoidable absence of W. Daly, Esq., the President of the Institution, Mr. J. Pyrke was voted to the chair. The report was read by Mr. Hanley, the secretary, from which it appeared that the institution has sixteen annuitants, of whom ten are males receiving 12/, and six females 8/. per annum. The total subscriptions for the last half-year amount to 1171. 11s. donations, the profits of a benefit at Sadler's Wells Theatre making a total receipt of 2441. ls. 6d.; funded capital, 8001. The report was adopted. The meeting having balloted for another pensioner, from a list of four candidates, passed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and separated. FELONY EY A SURGEON.—At the Borough Court on Saturday, James Howarth, a respectably-dressed young man, who is a surgeon and chymist, in Oldham. road, was pl ace d i n th e dock, charged with stealin g money from th e h ouse of Edward Kershaw, a railway porter, residing in Oldham-road, with whom he had lodged. It appears that Kershaw was in the habit of placing his wages in a drawer, and the prisoner had frequently seen him opening the drawer and putting in money. On the 27th of last month Howarth told his landlord that he was going to the infirmary, and did not know exa c tly w h en h e s hould return.

FREEDOM of SPISECU IN AutuicA.—The South Carolinian thus records the " tarring and feathering" of a Scot, who dared to dispute the justice of American slavery :—" About six months a go a man by the name of Edmunds, who called himself a Scotchman, came into the lower part of the parish as a teacher, and succeeded in getting up a sma ll sc h oo l. After some time, however, it was discovered that the instruction of the rising g e . neration was not his principal object, and that he avowed himself publicly an abolitionist, denounced slavery, said that it was contrary to the spirit of Christianity, &e. Our high-minded and spirited citizens waited for nothing more; and a few evenings afterwards a party of six or seven entered his school-room, and, without ceremony, dissolved the relations existing between the master and pupil—led him out to a convenient thicket—and substi tuted for his thin appaol a coat consisting of the inside of a pine and the outside of a goose. I will not stop here to describe the unseemly and ludicrous figure which he presented, as he wended his course up bill and down dale, until he reached his place of refuge." The next morning, it seems, the injured man applied for redress to a neighbouring justice. While he was relating his wrongs, "a few gentlemen, deputed by the citizens of the neighbourhood," rushed in, and told him that if he did not leave in five hours they would give him 39 lashes; and if he did not leave in five hours afterwards they would give him 39 more; and if he did not then leave they would put him to death by hanging! FRESH PORK FROM AMERICA.—The Niagara, from Boston, brought this time, as part of her cargo, one hundred carcases of fresh pork from America. They were preserved in ice, and were in fresh and ex cellent condition. On Thursday they were sold by auction, and brought from 325. 6d. to 355. 6d. per 1201bs. This is the first importation of the kind from the States, and should the experiment succeed on a larger scale, it cannot but produce a material effect upon the general provision:market. —Liverpool Paper. LAW I.N TLLLI CiEri CE. SHERIFFS' COURT, Jan. 18. THE ROYAj4 ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.--BIOG- GIONI V. DELAFIELD. This was an action by Manfred° Moggioni against Mr. Edward Tnomas Delufidd, the less, e of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent-garden, to recover 1951. ls. for wages and litt rary services remered in the translation and adaptation of operas for the establishment. Judg ment had been suffered to go by default, and a writ of inquiry was executed to assess the Jamages. Mr. E. James appeared as Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Kennedy on the part of the defendant. From the opening speech on the part of the plaintiff, it appeared that he (an Italian) had been engaged by Mr. Beale in the year 1846, when in conjunction with Signor Persiani and Signor Gulletta he commenced the Italian Opera at Covent-garden, to act as foreign correspondent and interpreter, at 80/. a year; to translate Italian operas into the English language at 8/. each; and to adapt French and German operas into Italian operas. The latter work was a very difficult one, and 50/. was claimed for each opera. In August, 1847, Mr. Delafield entered into an agreement by which he became the sole lessee, and the present claim was imade in respect of services rendered to that gentleman, he having continued the plaintiff in the same employment as Mr. Beale ; the plaintiff had claimed of the defendant 2641., and gave him credit for 68/. 195., leaving a balance, which was now sought to be recovered, of 1951. is. In the parti culars of demand the plaintiff claimed 251. for trans lating and for writing the libretto of the opera La Favo rita ; for translating and writing the libretto of Les lingenots, 501.; for translating and writing the libretto 01 fzdelto, 0(4.; for superintending and translating six operas into English, 481.; fur translating Linda di Chez mouni, 8/.; and for one year's salary as foreign corre spondent, 80/.; making the sum claimed. Credit had been given for the amount received, leaving 1951. ls. due to the plaintiff. lie (Mr. James) understood that the speculation had been an unprofitable one, but that was no reason the plaintiff should not be paid for the services he had rendered. Mr. T. F. Beale, musical seller, Regent-street, stated that he was manager of the Italian Opera, Covent-gar den, in 1846, and in August, 1847, Mr. Delafield exe cuted an agreement to take the theatre, commencing the season of 1848. He had engaged the plaintiff at 801. a year as correspondent, and agreed to give him 81. for rendering an opera into the English language, which was a very moderate sum. The plaintiff was also en gaged in translating the operas mentioned from the French and German, into Italian. He considered 50/. each was a very reasonable sum for such a difficult task. The plaintiff had translated into English Les Huguenots, Gugliehno Tell, Tancredi, Linda di Cliamouni, I Capuletti e,Montecchi, La Favorita, and Cenerentola ; he had adapted for the Italian stage La Favol ita and Les Huguenots, and also Fidelio, which lat ter opera was not produced. The translated operas were printed and sold. Mr. M. C. Shee, who said he was " clerk of the hall," or stage entrance at the theatre, proved the attend ance of the plaiutiff. Signor Belletta, a music composer, and Signor Carti gave evidence to show that the plaintiff conducted the t oreign correspondence. Mr. George Lindley, the composer, stated that $l. for translating, and 50/. for adapting an opera, were very moderate charges. Mr. Chappell, the music seller in New Bond-street, said he had often paid 1001. for an adaptation. In his evidence Mr. Beale mentioned that he had recently paid 1351. for an adaptation of the French opera Hayclee. Mr. KENNEDY addressed the jury en the part of the defendant, whom he described as a gentleman of fortune, and member of a well known firm. Judgment had been suffered to go by default through some mistake; but he felt confident that the jury would not give the exorbi tant sum now demanded. The jury would perceive that it was an attempt to make Mr. Delafield, who certainly had not found the undertaking a profitable one, pay the debt of Mr. Beale. There was no evidence that the de fendant had engaged the plaintiff at the sums mentioned, and he was sure the jury IN ould be very moderate as to the amount they assessed. In the course of the address of the Learned Counsel (Mr. Kennedy), the Court was convulsed with laughter by a remark made by the Under-Sheriff. The Learned Counsel was describing the :sale of the opera books by the little boys in the street, which excited the risible faculties of the audience, on which the Under-Sheriff, who was reading one of the operas, suddenly said, " I was just reading this passage—' Oh heavens, what do I hear?' "—a remark which produced roars of laughter in the court. Counsel having concluded, The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF placed the case before the jury with his accustomed clearness, and they as sessed the damages at the full amount claimed-1951. Is. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) RE TAYLOR.—BETTING. The hearing of this case was resumed by adjourn ment. The court was again crowded with parties in terested in sweeps and betting. His HONOUR said the point in this case, when raised, had apparently come on both the learned gentlemen by surprise; and he wished to know if either of them had anything to add to what was then urged? Mr. LAWRANCE referred to the case of " Wareing v. Smith," a recent one in the Bristol Court, where Mr. Sergeant Stephens had decided that Smith's certificate which had been opposed on the ground of gaming, should be granted. Afterwards he was taken in execution at the suit of Wareing; he applied for his discharge, on the ground that he had obtained his certificate. The matter went before the Court of Qaeen's Bench, where it was contended that the certificate was void from gaming; but Mr. Justice Erie held that the certificate could not be disturbed, the creditor having another remedy. Upon all the cases cited, he contended that the offence was only complete by the payment of the sum lost. Such was clearly the intention of the Legislature, or no specific sum would have been named. The COMMISSIONER—Then your view is that if a man loses a bet and honourably pays it, be loses his certifi cate; but if he does not pay, he gets his certificate? Mr. LAWRANCE—Undoubteoly. The law only has regard to the pecuniary injury to the bankrupt's estate; were it otherwise, the words of the Act would have been directed against making a wager. The COMMISSIONER—You must observe that the as signees might recover the money back, if any wager had bet n paid. Mr. LAWRANCE, at great length, recapitulated the ar guments he had urged at the previous sitting. Mr. STURGEON contended that the construction of the word "lose" ought to follow the usual acceptation as es tablished by the code of honour and the rules of the Jockey Club. The bankrupt law was not merely a dis tributive or pecuniary law; it was also a penal law, as was abundantly evident from numerous clauses. His HONOUR said the case was one of great importance to the bankrupt as well as the public, for it is highly re quisite that commercial people should be guarded against the effects of practices and pursuits which are quite at variance with the business of a trader, and are extremely perilous to those who engage in them. The question arose upon the interpretation which was to be put to the words of the last Act on the subject-5 and 6 Victoria, c. 122, section 38. That section provides that no bank rupt shall be entitled to his certificate, and if any such certificate be obtained, it shall be void, if such bankrupt shall have lost by any sort of gaming or wagering in one day 201., or within one year next preceding his bank ruptcy 200/. It is always useful in such •inquiries as the present, where the meaning of the particular words of an Act of Parliament is sought, to see what former Acts of Parliament on the same subject have stated. The words I have just quoted are ,a literal transcript from the 6th George IV., chap. 16, sec. 130, which has the follow ing:—" And be it enacted, that no bankrupt shall be entitled to his certificate, and that any certificate, if obtained, shall be void, if such bankrupt shall have lost by any sort of gaming or wagering in one day 201." &c. Now, these words were meant to carry out the provisions contained in the old Act sth George 11., chap. 30, sec. 12, which says, "or who hath or shall have lost in any one day the sum or value of 51., or, in the whole, the sum or value of 100 L within the space of twelve months next preceding his, her, or their becoming bankrupt in playing at or with cards, dice-tables, tennis, bowls, billiards, shovelboard, or in or by cock fighting, horse races, dog matches, or foot races, or other pastimes, game, or games whatsoever, or in or by bearing a share or part in the stakes, wagers, or adventures, or in or by b e tti ng on th e s id es or hands of such as do or shall play, act, ride, or run as aforesaid," &c. But the statute of 5 George IV., instead of leaving the sum at SL, raised it to 201., and, instead of repeating the words which I have read, uses these, " by any sort of gaming or wagering." I now come to the definition of the word " lost." Mr. Lawrance contended that the statute must mean an actual pecuniary loss or legal liabi lity to lose it, that the wager could be recovered against him in a suit. Now, it is impossible the Legislature could have contemplated that, for at the time when the e George the sth and 6th Victoria,lVpassed,as well as i at is quite plainttheperiioto that fthe passing all wagers above 10/. were illegal. By the 9th of Anne, c. 14, all persons who lost more than 10/. upon any game or wager might, if they bad paid such wager, sue fbr and recover such money from the party who had re ceived it; thus clearly showing that such wagers or bets were illegal, and that it was the desire of the Legisla ture to put a stop to wagering above the amcunt named. By the Bth and 9th Victoria, c. 109, sec. 18, the law in this respect has been put upon a more equitable footing, because that Act provides that contracts or agreements, whether by parole or in writing, by way of gaming or wagering, shall be null and void, and that no suit shall be brought or maintained in any court of law or equity for recovering any sum of money alleged to be won upon any wager, &c. Therefore, it is plain, that when the Acts recited, viz., 5 and 6 Victoria and 6 George IV., were passed, the bets were void; and there was a still further provision that the sum wagered, if paid, might be legally recovered from the - party to whom it was paid. It is plain that when the Legislature em ployed the word " lost," or "losing," they could not have meant any legal liability to pay 201., for no such existed,—no action could be maintained for any sum above . 101. He (the Commissioner) felt persuaded that this was what the Legislature meant,—that a per. son who embarked in trade must not gamble, nor put himself into a position by which, according to the code of honour, he would be liable for any such debt. Some amount must be fixed et and feyond which penal con sequences must follow; therefore they fixed the sum named in the Act. The Legislature was desirous to prevent traders from gambling, and there is no right minded person who must not acquiesce in the wisdom and expediency of that desire. I think it of the greatest importance that persons who embark in trade shall not engage in pursuits of this description, nor put themselves into such a position as would make it incumbent upon them, according to every law of honour (a feeling, be it remembered, which acted with as much torte upon men as the law of the land), to pay a large sum of money which might probably be abstracted from that which belonged to their creditors. I have examined as many cases upon this subject as I can find. .I would in the first place refer to "Ex parte Newman, in the matter of Jones," 2 Glynn's Cases in Bankruptcy. In that case , the bankrupt did not deny that he lied on a certain day before the bankruptcy lost 401., but, et ited that at ter having made the above wager he had made a bet (0 451. with another person on the opposite side, the e , ,s ,, queneo of which was that upon the result oi the main he was a winner of 5/. The Vice-Chancellor decided that that was gambling within the meaning of the Act. After quoting some other cases, his Honour said it would be strange indeed if the Legislature had enacted that the trader who made and honourably paid a wager of 201. should not obtain his certificate, but that the trader who had skulked out of the payment of his debt should escape with impunity, because he had added a shabby to an illegal act. Let us suppose the case of a mer chant losing a large sum of money a'; a horserace ; would he not, if possible, pay the money at once, sooner than be pointed out as a defaulter? He would raise money in all directions in order to fulfil his ho nourable engagements. The Legislature, foreseeing this, has wisely framed those enactments. I feel bound, therefore, to refuse th e certificate. I regret that my de cision cannot be reviewed. I could wish it to have been otherwise, and believe and hope that, during the next session, the law in this respect will be altered. I have, however, made up my mind upon this case, and although my judgment is final, do not feel justified in giving any other. 1 can never think that the Legislature meant to deal less favourably with the man who wagered and paid his debts than with the person who wagered and refused to pay them. I come to the conclusion that this man was not entitled to participate in the advantages afforded by the bankrupt law to traders under other circum stances, and that he ought not to receive his certificate. Certificate refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOIV-HO USE. A poor-looking diminutive object, named Cushay, who appeared to be about fifteen, but was stated to be nine teen years of age, was brought before Alderman Law rence, charged with having fired a pistol at a girl named Emma Tyler, with intent to kill her, or du her some bodily harm. The prisoner, who seemed to be in a very feeble condition, was placed in a chair at the bar. Inspector Fosberry, of the City Police, stated, that soon after ten o'clock on Wednesday night he was in formed that a woman had been shot by a young fellow in Angel-alley, Hounsditch. Upon going to the place the inspector found that there was ground for the report, and that the girl had been carried to the hospital, and the delinquent had fled. Next morning, however, the inspector saw the prisoner's lather, who informed him that the boy had returned home, after having wandered about Smithfield all night, in great distress, and imme diate steps were taken for his apprehension. It was in the meantime ascertained that the nurse at the hospital had found in Emma Tyler's hair, upon putting her to bed, a large slug or bullet, which had penetrated the flesh, and indented the bone, and from which danger, though not immediate, might arise. The prisoner stated, upon being taken into custody, that the girl whom he had shot had asked him to buy two pistols, one to shoot her, and the other to shoot himself with, and that there had been nothing in the pistol he discharged but brown paper; that he had refused the girl's request to get the two pistols, and when he ran away after shooting her he threw the pistol amongst the ruins near Angel-alley. It was reported about the neighbourhood that jealousy was the cause of the desperate conduct °fail prisoner. A girl, named Eliza Graves, evidently of very low habits, who was said to have witnessed the whole of the transaction, made a sort of statement, one word of which it was quite impossible to ccedit, except the mere fact that she ha-1 seen the pistol fired and the girl wounded. The prisoner was remanded. MARY LEBONE. Yesterday Henry Gullen, a mendicant of the most audacious character, who was attired in a military jacket, was placed at the bar, charged by Jones, of the 1) divi sion, with begging in Cavendish-square. The case was clearly proved against him. and he was committed for a month. i-ie then flew into a violent rage, and while he was being conveyed to the cell by Mitchell, the gaoler, he bit the officer upon the left thumb, which bled profusely in consequence, the teeth having penetrated to some extent. He was again brought in for this second offence, when Mr. T. Watkins, a cabinet-maker, who witnessed the oc currence, described it as being ruffianly and brutal in the extreme. Mr. LONG then fined the prisoner 51., and in default of payment to undergo two months in the House of Correc tion in addition to the month in the case first alluded to. The fellow immediately held up his hand in a threaten ing attitude, and swore that if he could got at the magi strate he would serve him in the same way he had served Mitchell. He kicked and plunged about on his way a second time to the cell; and at five o'clock he was con veyed in the van to his destination. THAMES. James Howell, a well-known sturdy vagrant, who has been known on the town for some time as a " distressed sailor," was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with vagrancy. Mr. Alfred Dodd, jeweller, of Cornhill, was passing along the Mile-end-road on Wednesday evening, and saw the prisoner seated on the side of a door, crying loudly, and appearing to be in the greatest possible dis tress and misery. He was asked the cause of his woe, and ho said he was a distressed mariner, and had just come up from Portsmouth and been robbed of 15/.; that he had no means of obtaining food or lodging, and that he had been greatly ill-used by the villains who robbed him. The story had the desired effect; Mr. Dodd gave him all the halfpence he bad in his pocket. A gentleman gave him sixpence, and he received contri butions from others. Mr. Dodd having reflected upon the matter, suspected the prisoner was an impostor, aid watched him. He saw him join another street beggar and communicate with him, and afterwards seat himself on another doorway and repeat the same fable with as much success as before. Mr. Dodd afterwards followed him some distance, until he met with a police-constable named Hussey, and gave him into custody. Nothing whatever was found on the prisoner on his arrival at the station-house, and he had artfully contrived to dispossess himself of all the alms ho secured by the imposture. He was recognized by the police as a well known mendicant, and a very impudent oue, who had never been to sea in his life. Mr. YARDLEY said that Mr. Dodd was deserving of great praise for the manner in which he had acted in this case, and that it was such persons as the prisoner who did great mischief to the really deserving poor, and were a nuisance in the streets. He committed the pri soner as an idle and disorderly vagabond, obtaining alms under false pretences, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. William Thompson, another mendicant, was charged with vagrancy. A police-constable, named Barnes, said the prisoner had performed the part of " the shipwrecked sailor on his beam ends" for some time past, and that lie saw him following three mariners in Ratcliffe-highway, and ap pealing to their sympathies on behalf of a poor brother shipmate who had not a shot in the locker. He warned him to desist, but he would not, and importuned every person he met with for some time, and witness took him into custody. The prisoner said he was a sailor, and in distress. Mr. YARDLEY—Where is your register ticket? The prisoner said he had not got one. The policeman said the prisoner was a common street beggar, and had never seen salt water in his life. Mr. YARDLEY sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE FIRE IN NEW-SQUARE, LINCOLN'S-INN—On Wednesday the several gentlemen who held chambers at 2, New-square, Lincoln's Inn fields, met together, and a committee was formed for the purpose of seeing that proper care was taken in searching the ruins for the re covery of the remaining documents known to be still in the rubbish. It was also agreed that no person what ever was to be allowed to go upon the ruins to search for missing property until the remaining walls arc pulled down. So anxious were many gentle men the preceding day to search the ruins for their property, that notwithstanding every gust of wind made the walls reel to and fro, not the least attention was paid to the warning, and in order to protect the lives of the unfortunate sufferers by the fire, this order was deemed indispensably necessary. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the work o f l eve lli ng t h e wa ll s w ill b e commenced. M r.i Martin, a gentleman whose chambers have been totally consumed, has fortunately succeeded in getting out of the ruins a vast number of documentary papers of many thousand pounds value, and in order to allay the excitement which has been caused amongst several members of the nobility respecting the fate of their title deeds, we are in a position to state that most of them have been recovered, either uninjured, or so triflingly scorched as not to be illegible. The police are still obliged to be kept on duty within the square to pre vent the crowd of spectators from getting into danger. • FOREIGN ARRIVALS.—In the absence of the usual arrivals of cattle, provisions, &c., from Rotterdam and other of the continental ports, some supplies have taken place from Harlingen, Nardwyk, and Nieu I)iep. The arrivals from Rotterdam as well as Hamburgh are at present entirely suspended, owing to the severity of the frost on the Continent, and merchants have in the emer gency availed themselves of the port of Ostend for the transmission of continental merchandise to this country. A steam-ship has just arrived in the river from that port, heavily laden with merchandize of ev er y descrip tion, a considerable portion of which has been brought from the inland parts of Germany for shipment to this country. We understand that Mr. Pryse, the son of the late lamented Member for the Cardigan boroughs, bas con sented to Mae fOrTfard, with every prOpM pi . woe, THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
