The United States and Canadian Emigration Society, under a Deed of Trust with the owner, has acquired 153,400 acres of Land in Hopkins county, Eastern Texas, latitude 33 deg. north, longitude 95 deg. 95 min., of which district the county-town is named Tarrant. It is proposed, in conformity to the plan of the Association, and after reserving not exceeding one-fourth, to elvide this Tract into 1,91' lots, of SO acres each, and to locate thereon 1,910 families. With a view to an equitable distribution of the soil, each allotment to consist of about two.thirds Pr: rie or lightly-timbered Park-like pasture-land, not requiring to be cleared for imincdiate cultivation, and one-third of contiguously situated timbered land, on the streams and head-waters of the Sabine and Sulphur fork of Red Slivers, which flow through this Tract. Each purchaser of one lot to be also entitled to a Town-lot of one fourth of an acre in extent, the site of which is marked on the survey deposited in the Office of the Association. The allotments are so arranged as to be as nearly as possible of equal value, so that prio , ity of choice will become unnecessary. The purchaser will have his location assigned to him In the follow ing manner, viz.: The Tract is divided into mile-square Sections, designated by numbers. The Society reserves not to exceed one-fourth. Each section is divided into lots, numbered from one to eight, subdivided for assort ment in such a manner that as each purchaser will know, on his arrival on the spot, the exact location that he has purchased, no mis understanding can arise ; the Surveyor of the Association will have the absolute power to decide on all questions of boundary. On a day hereafter to be named, and of which due notice will be given before the sailing of the Emigrant, a drawing of allotments will take place. The names of purchasers will be put into one box, and the numbers of the lots in another : these numbers will correspond with two numbers on the survey, representing two-thirds, and one-third as before mentioned, and these numbers when so drawn will constitute THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS OF COLONIZATION, EMIGRATION, AND PENAL ARRANGEMENTS.

That they should have thought it worth their trouble to' watch my political career is of itself a com pliment—a high one; but that they should, from that supervision, have decided to select me as their proposed representavive, both of their interests and wishes in the House of Commons, is as flattering and gratifying an event as could occur in the life of a politician. As such I regard it.

Concluding paragraphs frma the article in the lIISTORIC TIMES of the 211 of February, on the Missing Arctic Expedition. " This brief sketch of Arctic discovery may serve to remind our readers of its progress to the. present time, and prepare them for further discoveries, while it sufficiently illustrates our estimate of the national character that in about fifteen years the ice-bound coasts of a continent extending 110 degrees of longitude, i.e., as wide as Asia, and twice as wide as Europe, has been traced by land and sea, and its interior traversed in every direction. It cannot, however, be doubted that the same amount of energy and capital thus employed might hare joined the Atlantic and Pacific by a path available for commercial purposes, united the west with the east, poured the wealth of the latter into the cffers of our merchants, and spreal reli gion and civilization to the most remote corners of the globe." Extracts from THE SUN, 16th February. " According to the scheme disclosed in this remarkable pamphlet, mails, merchandize. and passengers might be perpetually conveyed to and fro between England and her colonial territories in the two hemispheres without having to traverse the roads of Continental Europe (which roads might be rendered impassable at any moment by the outbreak of a general wars, and without the necessity of having to double either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, where the seas are as tempestuous as the voyages are circuitous; and the intercourse between Great Britain and her most distant and scattered possessions would not only be by this means less liable to interruption, but it would be infinitely more rapid, and, in every respect, more convenient. The proposed line of railway would link together the two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic; It would stretch in a direct line across our colonies in North America; it would commence at Halifax, in Nova Scotia. and would terminate at Frazer's River, pouring into the Gulf of Georgia ; it would com municate by steam-vessels with the ports of the United Kingdom in one direction, and in the other would promote a continual inter change of commodities aid intelligence with Pekin, with Canton, with Australia, with New Zealand, with the Spice Islands, with Ceylon, with Madras, and with Calcutta. " The North American Railway from the Gulf of Georgia to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, running from Nova Scotia by St. John's through New Brunrvsic'., across the St. Lawrence and Otawa, tra versing Upper Canada along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Su perior, through the dominions of the Hudson'a Bay Company to the south of Lake Winnipeg, over the chain of the Rocky Mountains to the coast of the Pacific confronting tke Island pf Vancouver —this enormous line of railway would then be the first substantial em ployment of that felicitous fact which has been intimated in the ex pression that the shores of the Pacific constitute 'the end of the West and the beginning of the East.' " It would form ' the great link required to unite in one powerful chain the whole English race.' It would penetrate the enormous bar rier of the Rocky Mountains. It would, in a particular manner, bind together the interests of England, of the Hudson's Bay Com pany. and the Canadas. It would present a magnificent field for the employment of gangs of convict labourers—criminals who by clear ing and enclosing lands, by constructing roads, and building bridges, would be withdrawn from the diabolical contaminations of the penal settlements, and would, unconsciously be instrumental In for warding the grand labeurs of civilization. " It would pass through regions 'rich in mines of silver and copper,' such as the vicinity of Lake Superior. It would draw into use the abundanttimber of the Oregon, the plentiful coal of Vancouver's Is land, the iron, lead, and tin, the granite, slate, and sandstone, the oolites, the cattle, wool, hides, and tallow, the salted meat, the be!!, the pork, the wheat, the barley, the Indian corn, the apples, and the rest of the nutritious vegetation which now flourishes uncon sumed in, the length and breadth of the North American Continent. " Such is the noble project of a Colonial railway suggested by this patriotic pamphleteer." Mr. COCKBURN opened the case to the jury. He said the prosecution was instituted by the Goldsmiths' Company, to whom were entrusted by law the purity of the precious m e t a l s w h en manu f ac t ure d. ißy law t was necessary that articles, whether gold or silver, should have upon them the mark of the Goldsmiths' Company, before being offered for sale, for a two-fold purpose, that of raising a tax and securing the purity of the metals. The last Act upon the subject, 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 22, provided that every person who should have in his possession, with out lawful excuse, any ware of gold or silver, bear ing the mark of the Goldsmith's Company transposed, and knowing it to be transposed, shall be guilty of punishable offence. The facts of the case were these. In the month of December last the Goldsmiths' Com pany received information, which induced them to send down one of their most efficient officers to Bath. That officer (How) purchased eleven silver articles at the shop of the defendants, those silver articles be re• turned to the Company, by whom he was again sent down on the 6th of January, when he purchased 34 other articles, and among the goods offered he saw a silver spoon and a silver soup-ladle. He communi cated to the company certain suspicions which he entertained towards these articles, and on the 9th 'of January a warrant was obtained, and the spoon was seized. The die of the spoon was of as ancient a date as 1774. The company altered their dies every year, and kept a register, showing them what particular marks were made in any particular year. The spoon had been gilt, and at first it was not easy to discern the manu facture of the spoon ; but on taking it to London, re moving the gilt, and applying the blow-pipe, it was discovered that the shank of the spoon was new, and that the mark had been soldered on to it. It appeared that the bowl was 4 dwts. below the standard, the shank 3 dwts. below the standard, whilst the handle was 1 dwt. above the standard. He should show that some time ago, a man named Mitchell was employed to make the bowl of the spoon, and take it to a person named Cousins, and that it was afterwards returned to him by the accused to gild. The conduct of the defendants at the time of the discovery was important. Some communication took place between them and Mitchell, the result of which was that the pattern from which the spoon was made was buried. After that the defendant Warren again saw him, and told him that the spoon was the only thing they were afraid of, as it had the transposed mark of the hall upon it. He advised him to give up his books, which he did, but afterwards, on his application, they were returned by Mr. Fuller. Whatever the motives of the accused might have been, the Act clearly and distinctly for bade the offence which they had committed; and of which he thought the jury could not have the slightest doubt when they heard the evidence. Mr. Hough examined—l am an officer in the assay-office of the Goldsmiths' Company. In conse quence of directions from the wardens, I went on the 30th of December last to the shop of Messrs. Warren and Fuller. I saw them both on that occasion, and purchased ten articles of silver. My attention was directed to those articles, and on communicating with the wardens, I was again sent to Bath on the 6th of January. I purchased thirty-four articles on that occasion. My attention was drawn to a serving spoon, and also a soup ladle, both of which were shown to me for sale by the prisoners. They asked, I believe, nine guineas for the pair. They were silver gilt. I observed that the spoon bore a Very old hall-mark, whilst it was of new manufacture. I did not pur chase it, but reported what had occurred, and on the 9th of January I went to the shop again, armed with a warrant. I told them I had a very unpleasant duty to perform. That I had a warrant for the seizure of certain articles, some with transposed marks—the other without marks. Mr. Warren said FURTHER OPENING OF RAIL- WAYS IN LINCOLNSHIRE. I have hitherto done, and is a great stimulus to induce me to go on in the career that has won this signal mark of their favour and esteem. DARKNESS REIGNS NO MORE.

[lt is the intention of the Society to deviate Itom the proposed mode of allotment in favour of the first 200 Emigrant families, to whom will be given a priority of choice in those surrounding the town site.] A Certificate of Title in accordance with the numbers drawn will be delivered to the Emigrant, by which the Association binds itself to give him possession of the lot drawn on his arrival in Texas. The sum paid by the purchaser of each lot will include, First —A free passage from the port of embarkation to the place of settlement, with rations during the water passage and land jour- ney, from New Orleans to the town of Tarrant. Secondly.—Six months' provisions from the time of his arrival there. Thirdly.—Two bullocks, one cow, and calf, and two pigs. Fourthly.—lmplements of husbandry and seeds, viz.: a plough and gears, a log chain and ox-yoke, a set of harrow-teeth, ten lbs. nails, a hammer, an axe, a spade, a hoe, a grubbing-hoe, a saw, two augurs, two chisels, a Jalkplane, a scythe, a rake, and a pitchfork, with seeds for the first year's planting.

A detailed Statement and Schedule of the articles and necessaries provided by the iociety, for the use of the Emigrant, will be deli vered to him with the Certificate of Title, on the payment of the sum specified, in fulfilment of his contract with the Coctety. Thus the payment of such sun as, according to the following estimate, will suit the circumstances of each, will entitle the indi vidual or family, as the case may be, to the secesssary articles of subsistence, stock, and materials, for effecting their settlement on the eighty acres of land, of which they have acquired the Fee-simple and obtained possession.

T HE NICOLL.—REGENT-STREET and CORNIIILL. Extract from THE SUN, 13th March. "On the 16th of February we directed public attention to a pamphlet, in the form of a letter, addressed to Judge Hallihurton, the immortal " Clockmaker"—a pamphlet in which a magnificent scheme is proposed for the connexion of the Pacific and the Atlantic by a railroad running through our North American possessions, through • the Canadas, and through the territories of the Hudson's Hay Company, beginning at the harbour of Ha lifax, near Newfoundland. and terminating on Frazer's River, opposite Vancouver's Is'and. Since then, it will have been observed by our readers that the author of that remarkable pamphlet, Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, has addressed a letter to ourselves, fa which he disclaims any of that dogmatic egotism which Is generally supposed to actuate the projectors of such colossal enterprises. The pamphlet of Major Smyth, previously printed for private circulation, and written without any signature upon the title page, has, subsequently to the appearance of our re marks on the 16th ult., beginpublished in a complete and well digested form, accompanled by an illustrative map from the hand of Mr. Wyli, the geographer. Now, that the plan may be regarded as fairly before tte public, we cannot but take this, the earliest oppor tunity, of reiterating our previous argument, that the noble scheme suggested by Major Carmichael Smyth is one intimately associated with the present condition and the future destinies, with the glory, the greatness, and the prosperity of the British empire." Extract from the BRITISH and ARMY I)ISPITCH, 16th February, before the Pamphlet was Published for General Circulation. " This pamphlet is from the pen of an officer of rank, whose long residence on service in North America has enabled him to offer to the public some valuable suggestions on the subject of the extension of railway communication on that vast continent, in the further ex tremity of which new ground Ills lately been broken in the progress of civilization. The pamphlet purports to point out means for the employment of the people and capital of Great Britain in her own colonies, by undertaking a great national work, and thus opening the shortest road to the most extensive regions of wealth ever before at the command of any nation in the world (not regions of gold, but for commerce and industry), and opening to Great Britain a new outlet for the superabundant population of her soil, and new markets for her labour. With great minuteness and considerable local knowledge the author traces the means by which the far apart Atlantic and Pacific Oceans shall be made easily communicable, and BESIDES the above Patented Article, there is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is however, Registered, and consists in a BODY GARMENT some what in the form of a Dress-coat, that is to say, a Gentleman can wear it in the evening without distinctly Infringing the laws of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff formality to as observed in the cut and form of„ the Dress-coat.

Thousands preparing for thy cheering scene, To MOSES' Dress Establishment have been. And had'st thou eyes to see, thou would'at admire The specimens of MOSES' SPRING ATTIRE. Such splendid seoples of artistic skill Were never knorn before, thou noted hill. MOSES and SON will show you something prime In Easter Dress for Eighteen-nifty-Nine. THE HATS OF MOSES.

THE HOSIERY AND SHAWLS, I would remark, Will beautify thy scene in Greenwich Park. Nor there alone, but all throughout the land, Will proofs be seen how MOSES' dress is planned.

" The pamphlet is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who are interested in the progress of the great tide which is now so strongly snak ' " , `westward.'" Extract from the ARIGIITON GAZETTE, Bth March. One consennen - e of the recent discoverks in California has been the renewed and zealous discussion of various plan.; heretofore sug gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route by Caps Horu. A general feeling seems to have hitherto prevailed in preference of a water line by the river and Lake of San Juan de Nicaragua ; and certainly, as compared with the Isthmus of Darien or that of Telmantery c, there can be little doubt of its superior eli gibility. But we think that the views developed in the able pamphlet of Major Carmichael Smyth will go far towards effecting a revolution in public opinion. For the United States the route above-mentioned may be a sufficiently desirable ono ; but the author of this pamphlet contends—and therein he will have at least every Englishman on his side—that such a communication ought, if possible, to be made within the limits of our own territory. • :it a question like this the ailvoeates of Colonization must feel a strong interest ; for 'let England her Northern American, colonies, and the liudron's Bay Oompany,join heart and hand, and with the great power of steam which it has pleascid the Almighty to place at the command of man, there will soon arise a work that will be the wonder and admiration of the age—and such a mercantile and ce lonizing road will be open to Great Britain, that at no future period (at least within the imagination of man), will she ever again have to complain of too great a reputation on her soil, and too small a market for her labour." This Letter is addressed to the • Clockmaker,' and who will not echo the exclamation of that distinguished writer— ' Oh, squire, if John Bull only knew the value of these colonies, he would be a great man, I tell you—but he don't.'" Extract from the RAILWAY TIMES, March 10. Th6re is work to be done—wealth to be opened up—men's bodies and souls to be saved—the press teems with suggestions, plain, practical, and operative—yet not a ray of intelligence, of apprehen sion, not a sign, not an expression Indicative of activity, escapes from the chief of the Colonial-office, or his fussy, yet do-nothing, subordinates. " IVe shall revert to this topic In our next, and lay before our readers the able, invigorating arguments of Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, in reference to the subject of a British colonial railway cora munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

On Monday last sixteen miles of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway—viz , front Briag to Gainsborough, were opened to the public, completing the eighty miles i of railway w hich this company was empowered to construct in Lincoln shire. They extend east and west from Grimsby to Gainsborough, and north and south from New Hol land opposite Hull to Lincoln, with a branch from New Holland to Barton-upon-Humber. The com pany, we believe, have yet the power to make a short branch from the Moortown station to Caistor. The distance from Hull to Gainsborough by water is fifty miles, and the time occupied in the voyage by the improvements in steam navigation has been reduced to three hours, once a day, with occasional opportuni ties, according to the state of the tide, of completing two voyages per day. The distance is, by the Hull ferry steamer and the railway, now reduced to thirty six miles, and the time- requisite to complete it to six minutes less than two hours, including the stoppages at ten intervening stations. The time between New Holland (the Hull ferry station) and Gainsborough, is less than an hour and a half, and there are four up and four down trains every day. At ten o'clock a train started from New Holland, filled with a goodly company, many of them bent on sight seeing, while others availed themselves of the cheapness of the trip to transact business at various parts on the line. A large proportion of these travellers had arrived from Lincoln, Grimsby, and other towns in the district. A band of instru mentalists had been provided, and played lively music at every station. At the Brocklesby station, 7f miles from New Hol land, we saw some labourers trimming the branch or junction with new ballast, preparatory to the expected visit, a few days hence, of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. At Brigg, 16 miles from New Holland, besides a convenient station, we observed a new road or street made through the fields to the town, thereby escaping we presume, the toll-bar, which is placed in most pro voking proximity to the occupied dwellings of the townspeople. As we approach Kirton-in-Lindsey, which is six miles from Brigg, a change in the ballasting of the line from chalk and gravel to small beaten fragments of blue limestone, gives indication of nearness to that stubborn hill whose tunnelling constituted the most difficult and laborious contract upon the Lincolnshire division of this company's lines. We were from three to four minutes in passing through it at a moderate speed. The castellated front of this tunnel towards Kirton has a very beautiful appearance. Throughout the greater half of the remaining ten miles deep cuttings obstruct much of the view, but immediately on passing Blyton, the last station before reaching Gainsborough, the beautiful milk-white square tower of a new church (that of Stockwith, on the Trent, we believe) stands out in fine relief, and the scenery as you approach the port increases in interest ; the pretty church of Morton, with the eccle siastical buildings of Gainsborough, come into sight, and the station being on the side and not far from the summit of Pingle hill, overlooks the towel and commands an extensive prospect of the hills load v alleys stretching far away i nto the opposite side of the Trent. The railwa y -bridge 'Nottinghamshire, on across the Trent at Gainsborough, for the joint use of the Great Northern and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Companies, is in course of construc tion. The opening of the remainder of the latter company's line throughout from Gainsborough, which will bring into connexion the western and eastern portions, and reduce the whole more thoroughly to one unbroken management, is expected to be accom plished this year. The station at Gainsborough, which is a neat erec tion in the Italian style, spacious and convenient, was generally admired.

SIGNORA PARODI. Our readers may be interested by the following sketch of the history of the young artist, the pupil and adopted daughter of Pasta, who will make her debut at her Majesty's theatre next week : She was born at Genoa, in 1827. Her father is a retired and pensioned employe of the Sardinian Go vernment. So early did she display natural musical gifts, that at twelve years of age she was placed by her parents in the Musical Institute of Genoa, under Maestro Cell, from which she was removed to the tuition of a professor of celebrity in the same city, Maestro Degola. In 1844 she had exhausted the lore of these masters, and was taken by her mother to Milan, to study under Felice Ronconi. She had not been many days in the capital of Lombardy, when she happened to be heard at a private concert by the husband of Pasta, who was so struck by the resem blance of her vocal gifts to those of his re nowned consort, that the following morning he hurried back to his villa at Como to tell Pasta that he had heard a young singer in whom her voice and dramatic spirit were revived. Pasta repaired to Milan to gratify the curiosity her husband had excited. Such an impression did the young musical pupil produce upon her, that she em ployed every means to persuade Madame Parodi to leave her daughter under her care, and return to her family at Genoa. Madame Parodi consented. Pasta took her daughter with her to her villa at Como, and from that time she became her pupil and adopted daughter. Felice Ronconi, it is true, having com• plained of being deprived of a pupil from whose suc cess he expected to derive an addition to his fame, Pasta could not resist his entreaties; but she returned with Parodi to Milan, and gave her lessons at the same time as the professor, and soon withdrew her once more to Como, where he remained for a whole year without returning to Milan. The young Parodi, who has four brothers and three sisters, anxious to contribute as soon as possible to the support of her father and mother with their numerous family, deter mined to appear on the stage on the first opportunity. The " Fiera di Bergamo," one of those united festivals of commerce and of music so peculiar to Italy, pre sented her the first opportunity of debut, and Pasta find ing she could not prevent the departure of her adopted daughter, conferred upon her all the ornaments she had worn when enacting the queens of lyrical tragedy : the tiara, zone, and girdle of Medea—the crown, the mantle, and golden sickle of Norma. Thus armed and encouraged, and heralded by the old friends of Pasta, Parodi's success at Bergamo was one of those scenes of fanatismo only beheld in Italy. From all quarters of the fatherland of song she re ceived offers of engagement, and she appeared succes sively at La Spezia, the Teatro Nuova, at Florence, and the Argentina, at Rome. From t hence she was engaged to appear at the Great Theatre at Palermo. Once there, so much did the Palermitans delight in her talent, that they made every concession to prevent her leaving ; and there she still lingered until the insurrection broke out. She was obliged then to take refuge with the French consul, and other official personages, for twenty-two days, on board a Sardinian ship in the roads, and was witness to the continuous scene of conflict, carnage, and destruction that ensued. It is a singular fact, characteristic of the all-overruling passion for music amongst these enthusiastic people of the south, that the same evening that the citadel and the last bastion were taken by the insurgents, amidst a scene of destruction of property, and still more of human life, which even the official papers in Parliament have so strongly recorded, the Palermitans sent a boat and a deputation to fetch their favourite singer from on board the Sardinian man-of-war ; and that very night, when the streets were scarcely passable from ruins, an immense crowd assembled to bear Parodi sing Norma. The spirit of the dream of liberty at Palermo soon changed ; the advance of the royal army drove away all the illusions of peace and pursuits ti of pleasure. Parodi returned to Pasta, at Como, on her way to visit her family. She received many offers of engagements—some from London, others from Spain, from the Grand Opera of St. Carlo, Naples, &c. But these offers were all refused; Mdlle. Parodi having, in the mean time, been be trothed to the Duke de S—, a marriage long resisted by his relatives, whose consent reached her at Palermo. However, after a few months occurred the reverses of Charles Albert—the devastation of all Italy by intestine war. In consequence of this war, the contemplated marriage was again put off. Parodi determined to return once more to the stage, and accepted an engagement from her Majesty's Theatre. Mdlle. Parodi is twenty•two years of age, of stature rather above the middle size. Her form and features are admirably adapted to the stage. She is an ener getic actress and impassioned singer ; and the resem blance of her voice to that of the never-to-be-forgotten Pt.sta is singularly striking. The interest the latter took in her pupil has induced her to write several letters, containing admirable precepts, which prove how deeply this noble prima donna had investigated the resources of her art, and how admirably she reasoned on its philosophy. MURDER AND SUICIML—LEICESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—A shocking tragedy has been enacted at Leicester, which has thrown the whole town into a state of consternation. It appears that yesterday morning a report was raised that a house in Simpson-street, near St. Margaret's Church, had been broken into, and Mrs. Groce, a married female and her child, about three months of age, brutally murdered. Sergeant Smith, of the Leicester police, immediately repaired to the house, when the following particulars were obtained :—The hus band of the unfortunate woman, who is a frame-work knitter, left his home that morning at six o'clock, and went to work. He returned at his usual hour to break fast, when, upon going to his room, he was astonished at finding the door locked, and the key in the inside of the lock. He called several times without receiving an answer, and upon looking under the door he could see that the floor was covered with blood. Having giving an alarm the door was forced open, when a most appalling scene presented itself. Upon a box was lying the infant child, with its head nearly severed from its body; and close by was the mother, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and blood flowing in copious streams from the wound. The woman was instantly laid on the bed, and Mr. Buck, a surgeon, sent for. The child he pronounced to be quite dead, but the mother was still alive. Mr. Buck at once did all that was possible to save the live ofthepr woman; but, in spite o f his exertions,sh h e o e lo xp e t re d o d that during. Mrs the day. There is e ver y reason too G roce destroyed the lif e of her child, cutting its throat with a razor, and that she afterwards cut her own throat with the same weapon. A razor, covered with blood, was lying at the right side of the unfortunate woman. For some time past she had been in a very low and desponding state, and had frequently expressed her fears to the neighbours that she; and her family would come to want. There is, therefore, no doubt entertained, but that during a fit of frenzy the poor creature com mitted the dreadful deed. The bodies have been taken charge of by the police until they are viewed by the coronerosho will, it is expected, hold an inquest on them this day (Saturday). CAISTOR.—Tun Faut,-...0n Friday last, a large quantity of sheep filled the Market-hill and roads adjoin ing very early in the morning. The prices were nearly as high as at the last fair at this season; and if the sales were rather slower the number sold was quite as large. It was said upwards of 50,000 sheep were on the hill. Hog sheep sold from 28s. to 385.; a few as high as 40. i. and 425. Of horses many had ready purchasers, parti cularly of the cart kind. The sort of horses rather better than is usual at this fair, being more famous for sheep and horned cattle. On aturday, the Market-hill was crowded with horned cattle of very fine sorts, much ap proved of by many distant dealers and opulent graziers. The prices were a little lower than the last fair, but a very large quantity were sold before noon. The town fair on Saturday, was not large, nor did any shows ap pear to amuse the young people. All seemed engaged in the pursuits of farming, purchases and sales. The silver cup annually given by Messrs Smith, Ellison, and Co., to the exhibitor of the best pen of fifty hogs, was awarded to Mr. William Richardson, of Great Limber. The hogs shown by Mr. Bernard, Owmby, and Mr. Wm. Davey, of Thoresway, were greatly admired and highly commended. The J udges were William Loft , Esq ., Trusthorpe House; Mr. William Uppleby, Bomby; and Mr. Wm. Hobson, Kettleby-Thorpe.—Hull Advertiser. AYLESBURY, GOOD FRIDAY.—The Easter Quarter Sessions for this county were held here on Tuesday last, before Sir Thomas Aubrey, Bart., Chairman, and a full bench of Justices. The assizes having so recently taken place, the calendar contained the names of only 10 prison ers. At these sessions it was unanimously agreed that a memorial should be presented to the Privy Council, stating the expediency of holding the Summer Assia,>s at Aylesbury instead of Buckingham; the Bucks Assize Bill having passed the Legislature. Several plans for the Judges' lodgings were produced, and Mr. Lant appointed architect to carry into effect the build ing, which will be commenced immediately, on the site of the old gaol. There ;wan a very full attendance of magistrates on Thursday amounting to 40. Among: e t whom were Lord Carrington , Lor d-Lieutenant of; t Marquis of Chandos, Lord Nug ent, the Chairman Quarter Sessions; the three M embers of the county, t Leeds, &c.

Pstovirsc Cow.—Mr. R. Pattinson, of Hay Close, h a s a cow which has hag:four galves, and is not yet lour years old.—Carlisle Journal. " The time is probably not very distant when I shah have an opportunity of explaining carefully and at due length my views of the great foundations of political science, and my applications of th o se prin c ipl es t o the exigencies of the present time. The present I cannot help thinking a very critical period, and that much will depend on the guidance of our po litical affairs of the corning few months for the future well-being of our industrious people. If a really free trade be established—it an honest reform in our expen diture be adopted—if our financial system be put upon a rational basis—then I think we may be sanguine of suc cess. If all these things be delayed or deterred, very serious evils will inevitably follow. " The two questions you put respecting constitutional reforms are nt this time beginning again to excite an in terest. There are some earnest and cautious men here in London who are seriously labouring to bring about a desire in the public mind for a reform of the Reform Act. such a raw -al will come. The anomalies left in our system of representation must he cured—which they may be easily, it caution direct zeal in the endeavour. We have so much of good to retain that no man without great care and attention ought hastily to lay his hand to the work of change. The most serious question which at this time can present it-elf to the mind of a practical statesman, is that of the suffrage—and on this subject I earnestly desire an opportunity of stating in full my opinions. Words on that subject are in daily use which I do not understand, and to which I have never assented. The wildest dreamer that ever puzzled himself with thinking of, or by endeavouring to frame a con stitution, never really proposed to himself what the words universal suffrage' really signify. Men, women, and children, rogues, thieves, vagabonds, and honest men, have never all been herded together in the mind of any man and endowed with the franchise ; but if not, there is exclusion ; but if there be exclusion, it must be on some principle, some ground. Some object is sought to be obtained by the exclusion which could not be obtained if that exclusion be not adopted. To discover the right principle of exclusion is the great difficulty; and my opinion is that most political men, and most political writers, have exaggerated the dangers of confiding the power of choosing representatives to a large number of persons. I have myself great confidence in the good sense and good feeling of my fellow coun trymen, and believe that they be safely, if generously trusted. I, therefore, though with every other man opposed to universal suffrage, believe the safe tendency, the really wise tendency, is to extension ; and that due preca ution being taken by registration, and by requiring a known and established domicile, added to precautions for excluding all criminals and vagabonds — this last is a well-known legal term—you would go tar in establishing the restrictions required for safety, and you would avoid nearly all the dangers resulting from having discontented a large section of the pop ulation. The peculiar modes of attaining thes e ends, the real extent of the restriction, which would indeed be large, one cannot settle in a letter like this. But I believe we should in this way obtain all t h e we ll-instructed and rational working men, and put aw ay atonce, and completely,all who ought to be excluded. Such is my view of what in the end we shall see, and to which we ought to proceed with great caution. In thi s view you will see merely a matter of d e gree, an d no w ild principle of the Communist theory, to which no man is more strongly opposed than myself. But I fear I must by this time have tired your patience, and I must leave a complete exposition of my views to a personal meeting, which cannot be very distant. " The whole question of ecclesiastical endowments is one of the coming questions in politics which statesmen must meet. They (ecclesiastical endowments) cannot be extended. They will be restricted. Nothing is so cer tain in the whole political future as that some mode of avoiding the unfairness of the present ecclesiastical ar rangements must soon be attempted. " The actual alteration' must be a work of time. The prevention of further mischief must be at once adopted, and on this subject I expect that my views and your own, and that of your friends , would entirel y coincide. "In all instances, political :parties, when they come to adopt any line of action, must mutually concede. I cannot have opinions pleasing in every case to every body. When constituents themselves cannot agree, nu one in his own person,' unless he ' have two faces under one hood,' can agree with them all, or with any two'who are opponents; but what I seek to do is to represent the general Liberal feeling of the constitu ency in a way and to an extent that will give me power for good ends in the House of Commons. If I attain this, I shall have done what I desire; if I should be unable to do so, I should be almost useless.—l remain, dear sir, yours very truly and much obliged, "J. A. ROEBUCK. "' W.

Mr. FISHER then moved— " Tha t i the meeting having been informed that a va cancy will soon occur in the representation of this bo rough,, n consequence of her Majesty being about to confer the appointment of Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands on Henry George Ward, Esq.— Resolved—That John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parliament, on the vacation of Mr. Ward, and that he be invited to become a candidate accordingly." reates t pleasure Mr. R.

Ironside, E. Vickers, Beal, . r Leader, Gainsford, Scho field.cliers, Beal, E. Turner, and I. Ilr. AIATTREWS moved that a subscription be en tered into to defray the expenses of Mr. Roebuck's return. Mr. TRONSIDE seconded the motion, on the prin. ciple that no man in the service of the public °ugh to be put to one farthing expense. Carried unanimously. the articles were foreign. I seized the spoon and ladle, and about 100 articles. I observed a fac simile of the spoon, and noticed the hall-mark on that. I did not seize it, having been instructed to use extra caution and seize nothing but what I was certain about. I took the spoon to town—cleared off the surface gilding, then applied the blow-pipe, and discovered that the mark was brought on to the stem in a very ingenious manner. I should say the spoon had first been made, and the piece inserted. I could observe the soldering the whole way—the insert e d piece is considerably thinner. I made an assay of the spoon, and found the bowl considerably below the standard. The standard is lloz. of pure silver to 18dwts. of alloy in the 11b. Troy. One portion of the spoon was ldwt. above the standard. I afterwards made a second search carefully, but could not find the fellow spoon. On the first occasion I examined 40 or 50 articles in the presence of the prisoners. On the second search I could find none of those articles— there had been an entire revision of the stock. I have been a long time in the service of the company, and am acquainted with the manufacture of these articles. I was formerly a silversmith. The stem of the bowl of such a spoon would be made in one piece. This method of making it would require five times the or dinary time in manufacture. Cross-examined— I was a silversmith at the age of 14. I worked at the trade about a year after my apprenticeship. I have been in the assay-office for 15 years. lam a weigher ,in the office. There are three assay ers in the office. My duty is to weigh, and in case of illness or emergency to assay. I was first a drawer in the office. I assayed this my selr. Mr. Fuller (one of the assayers) assisted me. The dwt. is Sd., therefore this spoon would be deteri orated about ls. 2d. The value of such an article, supposing it to be good, would be about Si. I did not seize the many other suspected articles, because I was instructed to we extraordinary caution, and to give them the benefit of any doubt. I suspected the fellow spoon, but had no means of ascertaining re. specting it. I took this spoon upon a risk. I have never seen so large a spoon before. When I went to the shop, I represented that I was exceedingly anxious to make a present to a friend. When I had the search warrant, I went over the pawnbroker s shop on the other side of the street. There were about 8,000 oz. of silver. I can venture to swear there wens not from 15,000 to 20,000 os. of silver. I might have said there were only 4,000 oz. I can't say ; you are pressing me very close. I suspected the fellow•article of transposition. I did not seize any more articles as transposed articles. I have seen additions and changes of form in articles, but they must be sent to the assay-office, or there is a penalty of 101. This is not a case of addition. I have not advised that Couzins should riot be examined as a witness for the prosecution. I went to Mitchell and Couzins. The latter was examined before the ma gistrates, The difference between addition and trans position depends upon circumstances ; the one is punishable with a 101. penalty, the other as a felony. '[he transposed piece might have been a skewer or a spoon, I cannot tell which. After the examination of several other witnesses, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and The Jury, after a quarter of an hour's considera tion, returned the following verdict—" Guilty addition, not guilty of the transposing; er dic v 4 erdict, Guilty."
