(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before the CHIE: BARON and a Special Jury.) ATTORNEY•GENERAL V. SIIILLIBEER. This was an information filed at the instance of the Crown, for not paying the necessary excise duty upon horses let out for hire by the defendant, for the purpose of conducting funerals. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Watson appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Shillibeer conducted his own defence. It appeared that under the 2d and 3d of William IV., c. 120, a person letting out a vehicle for hire has it at his option to pay the excise duty, either at the rate of lid. per mile, or by paying one-fifth of the whole amount of hire ; and a considerable number of cases were proved against the defendant, in which he had returned a much smaller amount to the Excise than that which he had charged to the customer. There were altogether twenty four different cases against him, and by each of which he rendered himself liable to a penalty of 201. The defendant complained of not being supplied with the necessary information by the Crown to enable him to conduct his defence, and that he had been prose cuted a second time for the same offence, the first action having failed, and obliged to incur an enormous expense. He said that he had no intention whatever to commit any wilful fraud, and that he had repeatedly asked the officers of the Excise, if he were wrong with respect to the duty, to put him right, but they refused to do so, and he believed, in fact, that they did not know themselves what was the proper amount of duty. He contended that, being an undertaker, and having his own horses, he was no more entitled to pay duty than a wine merchant, a coal merchant, or any other tradesman who kept a horse to carry on his business, and most of the cases against him were for horses used in his own jobs. He had been the means of giving a revenue of about 400,0002 per annum, by his introduction of omnibuses, and this was the return he met with—persecution. There were great doubts as to the law, and all he wanted was to have the law declared by the Court of Exche quer, not only for his own guidance, but for the guidance of the postmasters through ou t t h e kingdom. But with all his offers and all his efforts with the Commissioners of Excise, he had been unable to accomplish his object. Why should they not have a special case argued and the judgment of the Court taken upon it? The question would then be settled as to the construction of the Act of Parliament. If his opinion were wrong he was d cl e u f i e t n e d r a e n a t dy the t n o pay,bseuvt lt the matter er e alclauseso be settled. ftheAc every two of which havin g application to the same point, con tradicted each other, and argued that there ought to be a settlement of the variances which those different clauses of themselves created. The Loan CHIEF BARON left the matter to the jury, remarking that the defendant, ably as he had con ducted his case, must understand that it was not be cause he had combined the two callings of postmaster and undertaker, that he was to evade the payment of the duty as directed by the statute. The defendant had been placed in a different position, no doubt, to other persons furnishing funerals, because he had combined in his own person the undertaker and the postmaster, but still it was quite clear that he was in the latter character subject to the post-horse duty. The questions then were, whether in that capacity he had neglected to make the proper returns, and whether he had made a fraudulent return. The defendant was mistaken in his view as to charging himself only at the rate of ss. a horse; he must charge himself at a reasonable rate, such as he would charge to a customer. The jury consulted for halt an hour and then retired, and after an absence of ten minutes, came into court with a verdict for the Crown for one penalty of 201. on the second count, and for one penalty of 501. on the sixth count. They also said that in their opinion the de• fendant had done all he could to gain such information from the Excise as would enable him to make the proper returns. The court was crowded the whole of the day by per. sons who were interested in the result. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ Saturday being fixed by Mr. Hardwick for giving judgment in the case of the Royal Be!grave Lying in Institution, the defendant, James Locke, senior, and his three sons, Edwin, James, junior, and George Curtis Locke, for conspiring together to obtain money by false and fraudulent pretences, were placed at the bar. The evidence against the defendants has already been before the public. Mr. Reynolds, who wail appointed by Government to attend to the prosecution, addressed Mr. Hard. wick, and said that as Mr. Parry, the counsel for the prisoners, had thrown a doubt on the summary jurisdiction of the Court, he had looked into it the ob jection, and had cases in point to show that was not tenable. Mr. HARDWICK then proceeded at very consider able length to comment upon the facts of the case as produced in evidence. The specific charg e ( he said) against the prisoners came under the sth George IV., commonly called the Vagrant Act, by which the endeavouring to procure charitable contributions of any nature or kind under false or fraudulent pretences is made an offence punishable with three months' imprisonment. He could entertain no doubt of the guilt of the prisoners. At the same time he felt that the sentence he was about to pronounce was inadequate to the offence. But there would be so much trouble to parties to come forward and give evidence, that on that ground alone he dealt with the case there instead of sending it to a jury. He there fore convicted the prisoners of the offence with which they were charged, and they must stand committed to the House of Correction, each for three calendar months. Mr. Bransconibe, the solicitor of the prisoners, inti mated that he should appeal against the decision. The prisoners, who appeared to he very much af fected at their situation, were then removed from the bar. RICHMOND. In 1845, Kew Church was entered by thieves, and an iron chest, containing the parish registers from the reign of Queen Anne and other papers of importance, were stolen. Two men, named Stanton and Tilhey were placed at the bar on a charge of stealing the same. They both denied any knowledge of the rob bery. Inspector O'Brien deposed, that from information he received he proceeded to the house of Tilbey, who keeps a coffee-house at 11, Great James-street, Lis son-grove, Paddington, and there found a tin case which fitted the iron chest, and contained, at the time of the robbery, the certificates of all the burials since the erection of the church. Tilbey said it had been given to him by Stanton, who told him, at the time, that the case came from a church. saidan t Spiller, eeb dwpattfi e o oes mofosnffNppetereororea e . vkade l ,cno 7 , The parties were apprehended on Tuesday last, d and on Saturday Willia m H ar t was i mp li cate d i n t h e chargs.

She did not know the name of the church. This was about four years since. From time to time she offered to take them. On one occasion she went into Mrs. Stanton's house, when she said she was burning the papers, but she did not see them. Why she interfered was to prevent her brother, the prisoner Stanton, getting into trouble. She once heard the name of the church. Thought it was Kew. Elizabeth Stanton, a good-looking young woman, who appeared to have gone through a great deal of trouble, said that she was the wife of the prisoner Stanton. She had not spoken to the witness Spiller, or any one else, about burning the papers. She left her husband three weeks before Christmas, and at that time lived at 14, Bell-street, Lisson-grove. Was never a party to burning any papers. An iron chest was brought to their house one Saturday even ing, about four years since. It was not opened in her presence, and she Was from home when it was brought, It was not a very large one, and it re mained in the house about three days. She did not know who took it away, and never saw any of its contents. The tin case she had not seen till that morning. She knew that the iron chest came from Kew Church. Never saw Hart to her knowledge. Another man, not in custody, used to meet Stanton. Witness had heard the person who called on Stanton addressed as Hart. Matthew Crawfurd, a cab-driver, badge 4,124, was called to prove that be had taken the iron chest from Kew to the prisoner Stanton's house; but although he evidently knew more than he chose to divulge, he was proof against the interrogatories put to him, and nothing of importance could be extracted from his evidence. Inspector O'Brien now asked for a further remand, which was granted. There is no doubt that the documents which were in the iron chest have been all destroyed. THE WEATHER.—The continuance of north easterly winds has had the effect of checking the pro gress of vegetation to a greater degree than might have b en expected. The atmosphere. indeed, for several days past, has been remarkably chill and ungenial, par ticularly during the night. The days, too, have been very gloomy; and if occ asional sunbeams have prevailed, diffusing an agreeable warmth, their sudden withdrawal has been suss, eded by a chilliness more indicative of March than the merry month of May; and these sud den changes have proved anything but beneficial to health. It', however, v egetation has not, under the cir cumstances, made rapid advances, little comparative in jury has been occasioned.—Leeds Mercury.

RovaT ARTILLERY.--WooLlvicH, MAT IT,--Th e officers of the Royal Artillery gave a grand ball last evening, at their splendid mess. room at Woolwich bar racks, and upwards of 700 persons were present on the occasion, presenting a most brilliant assemblage, the ele ganpe of,the dresses of the ladies I,ontragting beautifully with the Y.vied 6sil;caea cl the away and navy.

DINNER TO CELEBRATE THE RETURN OF MR. ROEBUCK. Upwards of ninety staunch Liberals of Bath as sembled at the Gloucester Inn on Thursday evening, to celebrate the return of J. A. Roebuck, Esq., as M.P. for Sheffield. A good dinner formed the sub stantial preface to the loyal toasts ; after which The Chairman, Mr. GEORGE EDWARDS, in pro posing the toast of the evening, observed that they were met for the special purpose of expressing their cordial and grateful remembrance of a person who for many years had reigned in the hearts and memories of them all. He was sure they would anticipate that person's name, and that in saying what he had he expressed the sentiments of every gentleman present. It was an individual who was now raised upon a pinnacle of fame that a month ago they little ex pected—he meant their respected, very respected, ex- Member, J. Arthur Roebuck, Esq.—(Loud cheers.) When they remembered, as he was sure they must, that gentleman's first entrance into their city, not seeking them, but they seeking him—when they re membered the noble principles he then enunciated, when they recollected his honest and straight forward course during his long connexion with them, and that when he left them it was without a spot or blemish upon his character—he was sure the name of that gentleman must call forth their most hearty responses.—(Applause.) No great principle had he ever forsaken ; but as Mr. Roebuck was when he came to them, so did he continue up to his return for Sheffield. He had represented them in the House of Commons for fifteen long years, with the exception of one short interval, occasioned by cir cumstanceswhich usoevreeratedin x theytheir hadeuu connexion e uh control; u d and butthe t the vacuum e effect of raising him in their estimation, because it had never induced him to swerve from the straight path of duty and right. It was a pleasing recollec tion to him; and he could not refrain fr om men ti on i ng it, although he knew it was fulsome to speak of one's self, that he was one of the twelve individuals, who, believing Mr. Roebuck was the right man, introduced him as a candidate for the representation of this city. He had never had cause to regret the course he took on that occasion, or the success which attended Mr. Roebuck's first appearance amongst them. Great changes had occurred since that time. When Mr. Roebuck proclaimed at the Rooms the progress of re form, and pointed out the great changes that would take place, many of his views were considered by some of his best friends to be Utopian; but since that time most, if not all, of the great changes he predicted have been with his aid fully realised. When he looked at the banner on the wall before him he might ask, was not one of Mr. Roebuck's declarations that the duty on foreign corn must be repealed ? And now they had much to be thankful for, that that accursed tax had been taken off the shoulders of the people.—(Cheers.) Then there was sugar. Was it not now reduced so as to be within the means of almost every man ? He might mention many great changes of an equally beneficial character, of all of which Mr. Roebuck had not merely been an observer, but an active and:able promoter. Notwithstanding they had lost that gen tleman as their representative, he was sure it must be pleasing to all of them to meet, as they then did, with hearts warmed by the knowledge that he was that night again in the House of Commons to advocate the rights of the people. He had watched Mr. Roebuck's career from his first entrance into public life till the present time. He was free to confess also that he had sometimes thought him in the wrong ; but when he compared the thoughts of his own mind with the lofty intellect of Mr. Roebuck, he was content to wait patiently the result of many questions upon which they differed, and when he saw the result be fre quently found that that in which he had deemed Mr. Roebuck wrong was the right after all. When he heard that Mr. Roebuck was about to be elected Mem ber for Sheffield, he and his friend on his right re solved to see the keystone fixed, and they accordingly took a trip to the north for that purpose. And never had he a more pleasing duty, because he found a constituency who were capable of appreciating the character, the intellect, and the honesty of Mr. Roe buck. The constituency of Sheffield was a fit con stituency for Mr. Roebuck, as he was a fit representa tive for them ; they were honest and independent, and he was equally bold and honest in the declaration of his sentiments. At the same time he could assure them the Bath constituency would never be forgotten by Mr. Roebuck. He had accompanied him to London after his, election, and the last words he said to him were, addressing him in his usually familiar style, " My dear George Edwards, present my best respects to my early and faithful constituents at Bath." He said also, " Whilst I express that with regard to Bath, I regret I was obliged to find new friends." He (Mr. Edwards) felt fully convinced that in the course Mr. Roebuck had 'begun he would con tinue. If, therefbre, anything had been said in the heat of debate, or upon the hustings, capable of misconstructicn, he hoped his friends would suspend their judgment upon his words for a short time until they saw his acts.—(Cheers.) His conduct towards them for twelve or thirteen years had been a constant proof of his honesty, and should they in a moment without proof condemn him for dishonesty ? He hoped to see Mr. Roebuck ere long raised to a higher position in the Legislature than a mere Member of the House of Commons. There were some who said they would not have a friend of the people take office in the Government. There were, however, two great distinctions to be made upon this question. One was the finding offices for men ; the other was finding men qualified to fill the offices. He believed Mr. Roebuck was qualified to fill any of the important offices of Government. Why then should he not do so ? Because he was the friend of the people? Surely that was no reason for de priving a man of honour, and allowing another less qualified and less honest to fill the place for which by abilities he was suited.—(Cbeers.) He hoped the time would come when the Government would be such that Mr. Roebuck would be found one of the administration of this coun. try for the purpose of carrying out measures for the good of the people. It was, however, said by some that when a man took office he was stripped of his independence. That was too often the case, but it would not be the case with Mr. Roebuck, for he would not take such an office. But, qualified as Mr. Roebuck was, he could see no reason, if an oppor tunity occurred, why he should not be raised to the government of the country.—(Cheers.) He would not detain them longer, but at once propose " Health, happiness, and long life to John Arthur Roebuck Esq., M.P. for Sheffield."—(Ch eers. ) , " The health of the 1,093 honest and independent electors of Bath who voted for Mr. Roebuck at the last election," " The liberal members of the town council," and other toasts, were drunk with en thusiasm. There were dinners in celebration of the same event at the Chatham House, the Cabinet Makers' Arms, and several other places in Bath, on the same evening. FIRING AT A RAILWAY TRAlN.—George Skelton and George Edge, two well-dressed youths, about six teen years of age, clerks in a mercantile office in the City, were charged at the Ilford petty sessions, on Sa turday, with firing a pistol at a passenger train on the Eastern Counties Railway, near the Forest Gate Station. Mr. Chadwick, the superintendent of the signals on the lin, was present to watch the proceedings on behalf of the company, and Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, appeared for the prisoners. The delinquents were charged under the Railway Companies' Act " with obstructing the pas sage of the railway;" but the bench decided that the charge could not be sustained under that statute, and the chairman said the prisoners must be charged, either under Lord Seymour's Act or the Police Act, as it clearly appeared that the offence was committed on the public highway. He (the Chairman) must hear the charge under the Police Act. Mr. Pelham said the prisoners would plead guilty to the charge of firing off a pistol. They were schoolfellows, and were most re spectably connected. On the day in question they •i -sited their old schoolmaster, and took with them an old pistol and some powder to amuse themselves in the fields. They did not intend to fire at the train. The carriages passed as one of them was extending the pistol in his right hand. The youths were very sorry for what they had done, and had assured him they had no intention of alarming the passengers. They re gretted having been guilty of such a foolish act, and were willing to offer any apology to the passengers. The Chairman said, that had it been proved that the act'wv wilfully done, or any harm was intended, the prisoners would have been sent to the sessions for trial. The bench were inclined to believe that the act was not done wan tonly or maliciously, and that a fine would answer the ends of justice. He then fined the prisoners 20s. each, and cautioned them, in an impressive manner, as to their future conduct. If the offence was repeated they would meet with severe punishment. The penalties were im mediately paid. • ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY.--OD Saturday last a serious accident took place on the line of the North Kent Railway. It appears that for some time pst a large number of workmen have been en gaged in forming a tunnel near the White Horse Inn, Charlton, Kent: and on S a t ur d ay morning, about eleven o'clock, several of the labourers were at work at the east end of the tunnel, when an immense body of earth fell upon them with a fearful crash, burying them be neath its weight. An alarm was instantly given, awl no time was lo 3 t in ge t t i ng a l arge b ody of men to the spot, who set to work and fortunately soon released the men from their perilous position, but not before they were shockingly injured, and one of them so much mutilated that very faint hopes are given of his li'e. The latter (George Brown) had both legs fractured, his arms alio brOken, together with various contusions on the upper part of his person. A surgeon was called to the unfor tunate men, and after he had dressed their wounds those that were slightly injured were removed to their respez tive homes, but the poor man (Brown) was placed in a fly and taken to the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he now lies (under the dare of the house surgeon) in a precarious eniliiion.

During her cruise she exhibited qualities of unsurpassable excellence as an efficient man of war, whether sailer or steamer, or in the combined capa city. The working of the new galley and distilling apparatus has also been satisfactory. The quantity of fresh water this apparatus distils has averaged 300 gallons per day, which was produced during the time only that the galley-fire was in requisition for the purposes of cooking the meals for officers and men. By the promotion of Captain Sir George R. Sarto rius to he Rear-Admiral, Captain Provo V. P. Wal lis (who was First Lieutenant of the Shannon in her action with the Chesapeake) becomes a paid naval aide-de-camp to her Majesty. The extra-riggers of the dockyard are working as expeditiously as possible upon the Cormorant, ad vanced steam-sloop, to get her ready to take the place of the Sphinx at Spithead, if needed. The following officers passed the necessary exami nations in navigation at the Royal Naval College last week to qualify them for promotion to the rank of lieutenant :—Messrs. G. J. Malcolm, E. S. Grove, C. T. Jago, E. J. Lawson, G. R. Keene, E. W. Shaw, R. Onslow, H. Christian, and H. Hawkes. PLYMOUTH, MAY 12. Her Majesty's frigate Alarm, 26, Captain Granville G. Loch, went up har bour on the 10th inst., unbent sails, and struck top gallant yards and masts. She will be paid on Thurs day the 17th instant, but is ordered to be recommis sioned. The Confiance steam-vessel arrived on the 11th from Portsmouth. The Vanguard, 80, with her wales on, was taken into the north dock on the 7th inst. When her wales are taken off she will be removed to another dock, to give place to the Queen, daily expected from the Medi terranean. The north dock is the only one sufficiently capacious for either of these ships. The south dock, constructed in the reign of William and Mary, is to be filled with rubble. The apprentices were examined on the 10;h by Professor Mozeley, who expressed his satisfaction at the progress they had made since his last visit. Wind E.S.E., fresh breeze. WOOLWICH, MAY 12.—The Right Hon. Sir Francis T. Baring, First Lord of the Admiralty, Rear-Ad miral J. W. Deans Dundas, C. 8., Captain Fitzhar dinge Berkeley, and the Hon.W.Cowper, Lords of the Admiralty, visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day, and were received by Commodore Henry Eden, Superin tendent; Lieutenant Robertson; Lieutenant Gore, Flag-Lieutenant; Mr. Bellamy, Master Attendant; Mr. Lang, Master Shipwright; Mr. Jenkins, Store keeper ; Mr. Humphries, Chief Engineer; Mr. Chat field and Mr. Peake, Assistants to the Master Ship wright ; Mr. Trickett, Assistant to the Chief Engineer; and Mr. Bernays, Clerk of Works. Their Lordships arrived at half past ten o'clock, and immediately proceeded on board the North Star, accompanied by Commodore Henry Edea and Mr. Lang, master shipwright, to witness the manner in which the vessel has been fitted for her expedition to the North Polar regions. Their Lordships remained nearly three-quarters of an hour on board, and were satisfied with the whole of the arrangements which have been made for the enterprising voyage the vessel is about to proceed upon, and on leaving expressed their anxious wishes fur success. The North Star left Woolwich betwixt one and two o'clock, towed by the Monkey, for Queenhithe, and will leave that place on Monday for her desti nation. Their Lordships, after landing from the North Star, proceeded to the basin in the dockyard, and went on board the Archer steam-vessel, recently launched at Deptford, and at present fitting with engines of 200 horse-power, by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill and Co., suitable for a screw propeller. They then passed round the basins and witnessed the Simson under the shears, and now nearly ready for sea ; and the masts of the Buzzard taken out preparatory to the vessel being taken to Blackwell to have her engines fitted by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co. They also inspected the foundations being excavated for the erection of an additional pair of shears at the west end of the basin to facilitate the progress of the works. The arrangements made, by order of the Commo dore, for storing the timber and keeping separate all the old stores and waste material until they are dis posed of, met with the approval of their Lordships, and after the inspection they entered their carriage at the south-west gate of the dockyard, and left on their return to town. The Vulture steam-frigate, having had the wood work repairs she required executed at Sheerness, was towed to Woolwich to-day by the African to have her engines refitted. The Admiralty barge was taken to Woolwich last week to be repaired and renovated, and a handsome boat sent to London to serve in its stead until the repairs are effected.

The terms of the bet were all% Cameron to have ten trials (enough to make a man a compeer of Mr. Gavan Duffy's, " the man of many trials"), but they were not needed, for on the second atiempt the game was over, the ball passing clear over the wall, which is forty feet high. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 12.—Easterly winds still prevail, and our arrivals consequently are very short, but a favourable change ould ring us in a fleet of large vessels, grain laden. At yesterday's market there was a moderate sale for wheat to country buyer, at Tuesday's price, but the town dealers bought sparingly. There was a fair sale for barrel flour, at an ad vance of 3d per barrel. O a t s f u lly su p por t e d l ate ra tes. Oat meal rather dolt sale. Peas were Is I , er quarter dearer. Bar ley and beans without change. Indian corn was nearly I s per quarter lower, and only a moderate quantity sold. 35 s per 4011 b. was accepted for the finest )ellow corn. There are many orders for this article in hand for the anticipated large arrivals with the change of wind. The price of each article of the trade is fully supported to-day, but there is not much boo nest passing. s. d. 3 d Wheat, per 701 b lßarley,Feeding.. 3 3 to English, white • • 7 2 to 7 6 aye, per 4801 b .. 0 0 6 ° Do. rud 6 9 6 101 Beans, English, pr 0 Irish, new .. • . 6 2 6 3 1 imperial quartr 33 0 Do., old • • • . 4 6 6 1 Irish and Scoteh, o Dantsic • • .. • • 7 3 - 7 4 per 48019.. 30 0— 31 Do., good mixed 7 0 7 2 Foreign, duty pd. 23 0 — 3O ° Lowerßaltic,w hit, 6 2 6 >s European, per im- Do. red,. 6 6 6 8 pedal quarter.. 32 0— 33 American . • • 6 6 7 S Peas, English, per Canadian 6 0— 6 6 imperial quart r 32 0— 33 CI, Spanish, red and Foreign .. 29 0 —3 l " s. d. s. d. - 6 8 - 7 01 white.. ..

Here, except in the article of Indian Corn, in which a moderate business has been dorT ' we have had little activity in th e trade, with however but in change in prices. The arrivals of foreign grain have bee n few, while the receipts of home produce are very trifling• r the green market we observe v.!ry little change in pricer, th e quantity offering being so small as to be taken readily.

The finest description s of flour continue slow of sale, but for se condary and coarse flours we experience a good demand at full prices. A fair business has been done in Indian corn at an ad vance of 2s 6d per ton, prime Galata having been sold in some instances at 8/ 15s, the article commanding readily 81 12s 6d per ton, a figure which last week we stated to be scarcely obtainable.
