. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FRO3I THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST. —The intelligence from Canada, re ceived by the Great Western, will excite very general surprise in this country. It announces the conclusion of what may not improperly be called a treaty of peace between the Governor- General, Sir C. Begot, and the leaders of the various parties in th e - local legislation opposed to his Government. In virtue of this treaty Mr. Lafontaine, a French Canadian, of -considerable indigence among his own section of the people, az - quires the office of Attorney-General of Ca riada East, with a seat in the Legislative Coun cil; Mr. Baldwin, who is said to represent the Retbrmers of Canada West, acquires the office of Attorney -General of that division of the colony, also with a seat in the Council ; and other offi cial changes of minor importance take place, indicating, upon the whole, the possession of considerable political influence in the coali tion of parties, by which the terms of the treaty seem to have been imposed upon the Governor-General. In the present state of our infqrmation, we abstain from offering any opinion P.el to the wisdom of this arrangement. It may have been indispensible to the carrying on of the Government under the new Constitution; but the general impression it will create in this country will be of an unsatistlictory character, inasmuch as it must be regarded as a triumph to that party in Canada which has hitherto been considered, and certainly not without reason, as disloyal and essentially anti-British. It appears, however, that the compact is in unison with the all but unanimous wishes and sentiments of the Cana dian Legislature, inasmuch, as resolutions have passed the House, voting thanks to the Governor fir his conduct, and declaring it to be the opi nion or the Merabera that an equal proportion of Caaildians should be admitted to office, and the vote upon these questions was carried by a majo ray oral to 5. CHRONICLE. Thomas Cooper, as our readers will perceive, has been acquitted of the crime of arson, with which he was charged. 2+ 7 0 other verdict than " notguilty" could justly have been returned on the evidence. Our report merely states that the Chief Justice, in sum ming up the evidence, went minutely through the different facts of the case as they had been detailed by the various witnesses; but it would appear from the observations of the peisener, after the verdict had been returned, that he felt he had been fairly dealt with. " You are right., Gentlemen, my alibi is as true as Gospel, My Lord, I thank you fur your great kindoess, and I iseg pardon for having interrupted you in your address to the Jury." On two or three occasions the prisoner had interrupted tite Chief Justice, to point out circumstances in .lais favour. which he thought likely to escape ?;is notice. We -trust that fairness in an Enghin Judge will never be of such rare occurrence as to call for - particular remark. To those who have watched attentively the judicial career of Sir N. Tindal it can excite no surprise that the mildness and impartiality which have uniformly characterised his con duct should • not have deserted him on this occasion. He has, n o d ou b t , op i n i ons, and very decided opinions too, on all the questions agitated by the Chartists, hut he felt that his mission was not to play the political partisan, but to admi nister the laws of hi s country. Had he larded his charges with tirades against particular doc trines, and atrained his ingenuity to establish, in those whe entertain them, the existence of cri mind ;attentions, of which neither they them selves nor others might be aware; or had he, in Ms overweening self-conceit, given utterance to doctrines betraying an ignorance now rarely to be met with in weli-informed circles, the verdict of an English Jury might have been the same ; but the impression left, ort the public mind would have been very different. The Judge can never assume the character of the advocate or the poli tical partisan without weakening the confidence of the people in the tribunals of their country. A Judge ought not only to he impartial, but to avoid, whatever has the semblance of partiality. :LOBE.—That the article upon " The Last Session" in the newly-published Number of the Edinburgh Review, should have sorely disquieted the heads of the Tory party, will excite no sur prise in those who have carefully read and pon dered its facts and arguments. The policy of the late Ministry is therein not merely vindicated from the imputations so plentifully cast upon it by the Tories—the opposition which it encountered in Parliament, and the mis representation and calumnies with which it was daily assailed by the Tory press, are not merely shown to have originated in faction, and to have been sustained and impelled by rest less selfishness hungering for office, but the con duct of the then Opposition is made to recoil upun itself now that it constitutes the Govern ment. - The triumph or the late Adetinistration was not complete when it laid its free-trade programme upon the table of Parliament, and provoked the hostility of the monopplies, before which it fell. That was the cause and the mo ment of its humiliation. Had nothing more beet done, there would at least have been the emit , died views of the Whig Cabinet on conn_ meicial and fiscal policy to have been appealed to, as a rallying-point, for the advocates of free-trade, which they might have advantage ously contrasted with the plans of a monopoly conserving Government. This would have been worth sothething. It would have been an enduring and honourable monument to the Melbourne Mi nistry; the presence of which would have inspired apprehensions in the class-interests'of an early resurrection to life and vigour of those princi ples which were embodied in its plans, and which they fondly hoped they had crushed by the de kat, and had buried in the tomb of the Govern ment with which they originated. The Trea sury-bench became, it is true, the seat of a different set of men, who obtained posses sion of it by promises to goVern upon prin ciples far different to those whom they dis placed. But the delusion was short lived. The very first Budget of the new Government proclaimed the dishonesty of its authors. By adopting the leading features of the 'system of the Ministers -whom they had " pushed from their stools," they convicted themselves of dk honesty—provoked the indignation of the classes they had so egregiously deluded an d d ece i ve d —and prono unce d the best imaginable eulogy on the Government they had incessantly assailed and opposed, on the ground of the very mea sures the principles of which they had adopted as the bases of their own. To enable him to carry out his grand scheme of fiscal revision and modification, Sir Robert Peel was indebted to the very men whom he had supplanted ; and but for whose generous int er p os i t i on, at the crisis of his fate, he would have been defeated and dis placed, by means of a powerful section of mal contents in his own ranks. Then was the moral triumph of the Whig Government complete. Never in the history of party was there a more gratifying spectacle than that which the House of Commons exhibited on the occasion so well remembered. The loss of office was, as it well might be, forgotten by the Whig leaders. STANDARD.—With pain, but without hesi tation, we lay before our readers the following extract, from a hurried letter written on the '27th of August at Bombay, by Major Messiter, of the 28th Regiment : " Bombay, August 27, 1842. * 4- * * * " The Colonel is Foing away in command of a bri gade. I therefore tall into the command of the regi ment. We take the field immediately. Most disas trous news [have] arrived [from] the interior. The 41st cat to piece s . [A refe rence to some private affairs follows.] " Yours, &c., " JOHN MESSITER." no There is doubt of the authenticity of this letter, andi t isrtain that the writer, well known as a gallant,suc?lxperienced, and able officer,l would not ma k e full convictio n o f its trauc t rmunication without a this is, however, the only statement upon the As subject that has reached Europe, it is necessary weigh carefully the probabilities on both And first, we will take the Considerations fa. least e to the conclusions which we shouldle Majorav, wish to find ,of ssiter, of verified. The character of has great which we have already spoken what is weight; and there is nothing known of the state of the campaign in Can dahar to raise any violent presumption against the correctness of his melancholy statement. A. letter from the scene of that cam- Paign, which we have copied from this morning's Times, and which we find perfectly accordant with the_ accounts in the Indian journals, shows how dreadfully the British force in Candahar is over-matched, and what frightful difficulties it b 3 r nas hitherto had to encounter. We see, too, alette r o f July 29, in t h e I n di an p a p ers , that the 41st was exposed to peculiar dan ger. This letter says that her Majesty's 41st, panics the c23 t of . lßigoimabay Native Infantry, some Com m battalions, three or four of the Shah's renime s c:f a ß t c. r a o g op of his Horse Artillery, two companies some Poonahs, were a-p _a . l Foot Artillery, and , nnted to escort the bat tering train to QuettahPiaaseryice, the difliulty and hazard of which be extreme. To these considerationssucha country must we must add, that Major Messiter, being about to take an important command, might naturallybe entrusted with a knowledge of facts which the authorities ! would wish to withhold from the publicasl possible. These are the probabilities on the pn In a : i side. Now let us with equal fairness state the probabilities on the other. The Bombay journals of the 27th of August, the date of Major Messiter's letter, are wholly silent, not only as to the disaster spoken of, but as to any jilt: , mediate probability of such a disaster; and it has not hitherto happened that the Indian press has, w ith respect td information, been in arrear of the Government. Again, no information to confirm Major Messiter's state ment has reached the Horse Guards, the India House, or any of the. offices of Government. Now, these facts, taken together, afford an im portant inference. If Major Messiter had authentic information of 'event of which the public of Bombay were ignorant —as the silence of the journals proves thet.were—he mast have had it through an officiar channel ; but it is incredible that ,what was ~officially known at Bombay, before • the departure of the mail, should not be officially communicated to the de partments of the Home Government, especially when the matter was of such momentous interest—of such importance indeed to the safety of the India n em pi re . Major Messiter's position too, was such, as to expose him to be ' easily misled : he had but just arrived, probably but a few hours, from Sydney, whence his regi recut (the 28th) had been summoned by the Go vernor-General, without waiting to obtain autho rity front London ; and though it is nearly im possible that he could hare been so ignorant of the events of lag Winter as to confound the 41st with the 44th, Candahar with Can bul, and to allude in his letter tb the de struction of Iphinstone's army, still he was in circumstances to be Very easily imposed upon by any fitbricat'ed or exaggerated stery ; he had but just landed—he found kit Colonel. re rnoved. ; suddenly f or a serv i ce in the i nterior, and nintsed summoned to fellow in the same rapid manner. This looked like some extraordinary c.inergency---ingenuity would be basy i n sera is i .; ng what the emergency was; and we all know how soon, in such matters, loose surmise settles into grave assertion 'The seeming probability, itself, that. the escort of the battering train to Qaettait might be seriously attacked, would sup:- gest the defeat of that escort as the cause of the hasty mevewient—it is a rule in weigh ing evidence to consider the probability of an event r injurious to the credit of any unsup oerted statement of its occurrence—and thus the story might have easily obtained credit with Major Messiter, to the extent of permitting him to communicate it in a private letter. At the Horse Guards returns from the 41st have been received to the Ist of July. The last advices which represent the 41st as detached from the main army on the way to Quettah, are of the 29th July. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS. • FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The dividends are now in course of pay ment to the public, and the anticipated abundance of money, in consequence, had a slight effect upon the prices of the Government securities, which closed rather higher than they wore quoted in the early part of the clay, and when the business of the account called for cash. It has been for some time under consideration by the leading merchants, in consequence of the altera tion of post hours introduced under the new system, to meet at 3, instead of 4 o'clock, for the transaction of business in the Royal Exchange. To this little objection is made in any quarter, it being, in fact, a return to the old practice in this respect, which many merchants now living can well remember, but which was interfered with probably by the growing taste for late hours, and the great importance of all public events in the latter part of the last, and the beginning of the present century. Several of the leading houses have signified their concurrence in such an arrange ment, and the influence of their example will most likely carry .the remainder with them. This incident has no connection whatever with the proposal for curtailing the hours of banking payments in the City, to which the same objections still remain. Indeed, it has been stated to-day, that two of the City banking-houses, which were at first strenuously in favour of the change, and had signed the declaration along with the others, have since expressed their regret that they did so, and a desire to withdraw their names. The principal bankers at the west-end of the town have positively refused, it is said, to adopt it. These are incidents which, if true, would at once break up the confederacy; for, though the united bankers might have but little consideration for the convenience of the public, when placed at variance with their own, they would take instant alarm at any secession from the union, as that could not fail to at tract a large increase of new business at their cost. Of course, the bankers, if they are all firm in the combination, may, and probably will, carry their point. Few persons who have not: lived in commercial circles during periods of panic and scarcity of money, can form a just idea of the power possessed by the bankers over the mer chants generally, and the great caution exercised by the latter to avoid giving offence to those to whom they are to look for help in the time of difficulty. Hence, perhaps, many names would be put forward as having assented to the alteration of banking hours, whose wishes and opinions were directly the contrary. But it is not the mere convenience of merchants of the first class which ought to be the guide in such,a matter. Many of them, though they thought it wrong, wo u ld care little about it; but it is on behalf of the innumerable merchants and traders below the first class, who could not expect to have their voices heard against the measure, that the bankers have been urged by the independent portion of the Press to pause in their intention. They may, as was just ob served, carry their point, but being against r eason , propri e ty, an d t h e - conve nience of the great majority of traders, they will infallibly be soon driven back, by competition among themselves, to the old plan of business. By the commercial intelligence contained, in the New York papers it appears that there has been a steady influx of specie into that city. The Govern ment Six per Cents. were selling at par in the market, and offers had • been made to the Secretary of the Treasury to take $1,500,000 at par, with the pri vilege of taking the balance at the same rate. It could not, however, be sold, till the result of the agent's negotiations in London was known. There had been no new issue of Treasury notes, and consequently these maintained a quotation at par, and were much in demand. To the operation of the new tariff the improved price of the Government funds is attributed. Ohio Stocka had remained firm at 73 for the Six per Cents., owing, it is said, to the credit which that State has sustained. Kentucky Stock, as the debt of that State is very small, and the interest had always been punctually paid, held the next position to that of New York. Lit W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 14. This day being fixed, in the list, for the final exa mination of Lord Huntingtower, and also of Goodered senior, the proprietor of the Piccadilly Saloon, the Court was crowded to excess, the greater part of the audience consisting of bill-brokers, money-lenders, sporting characters, and " men upon town:' IN RE WILLIANI LIONEL FELIX TOLLEMACIIE, COM MONLY CALLED LORD lIUNTINGTOWER. His Lordship appeared in Court to pass his final examination, in custody of one of the officers of the Queen's Bench prison, and was allowed to stand inside the railing allotted to the official assignees and other officers of the Court. Mr. CHAMBERS, who appeared for his Lordship, aid that he had given as satisfactory an account of all his transactions as possible, and he was therefore entitled to be allowed to pass his final examination. Mr. CLARKSON said he was instructed to attend on behalf of Messrs. Price, Pouncef Elmore (the well known, sporting character), and latthewson, to watch what proofs were allowed, as many of those sought to be established were not bona fide. Mr. JAMES strongly opposed the bankrupt's pass ing. The registered judgments alone against him amounted to the enormous sum of 125,000/, and amongst them were many which required the strictest investigation. There was one of Mr. Moss Davis for 14,0001., for which it was 'alleged 7,000/. had been received. Another person had a judgment for 40,000/, upon which his Lordship incurred the liability on behalf of a lady. When the whole body of the cre ditors claimed to the amount of between 200,0001. and 300,0001., it would be unjust in the extreme to expect them to be satisfied with an investigation carried on by Mr. Gibbons, the trade assignee, who was a creditor for only 1,2001., and was elected by a body of cre ditors whose debts in the aggregate amounted to no more than about 3,600/. Mr. Commissioner FANE said this case was of infi nitely too much importance to be disposed of in the ordinary course. In ordinary cases, ten days' notice might afford sufficient opportunities of investigation to the creditors, but undor the circumstances attendant upon the choice of assignees, he considered it would by wrong to pass the accounts on such a short notice. He therefore felt b oun d to adjourn the cause to Friday, the 2d December. Lord Huntingtower soon after left the Courtin cus tody of the officer, who conveyed him back to prison. GOODER The bank rupt P this case was P. in described as aIN FE J 0101 shell fishmonger in Piccadilly, but his identity will be inch more apparent, b y stating that he was the propriet,or of the notorious " Saloon" in that street. This day being fixed for proof s , I passing r his final examina tion, a number of etender o e f d, th a e m sa o l n oo gst n which was one by the grounde landlord for a quarter's rent, and 10/. for dilapidation.

' by ruptcy was issued against shis conduct towards a lady who was on a visi with Lord and Lady William Pant. This person absconded after the issuing of th e flat; and had riott since surrendeted. Assignees were appointed, and Mir solicitor now applied to prove for the benefit of the estate for a sum of 7941. 6s. 4d. It appeared that he had discounted bills for Goodered to the amount of nearly 3,0001., and eight of those bills now were in the hands of the assignee, and formed the grOund of the claim: The solicitor to the fiat objected to the admission of this proof, on the ground that those eight bills, of which Goodered was the drawer, were without consideration. After a lengthened investigation, this claim, as well as several others, were ordered to stand over to the 9th of December, when the further examination will be resumed. PALACE COURT, Oct. 14. (Before C. J. KNOWLES, Esq.) SIR HENRY MEUX, HART., V. THOMPSON. This was an action brought by Sir Henry Meux and Co., the celebrated brewers, against the defendant, a publican, for the sum of 271. 13s. 10d., for ale and porter. The defendant having allowed judgment to go by default, several witnesses were called who proved the delivery of the ale, porter, &c., and the Jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. CLARKE V. LEIVELLYN CORREGIO PLUMBER. Th's was an action on a bill of exchange, accepted four years ago by th:-, defendant, for the amount of 240/. 43. The defendant havirig allowed judgment to 2' by default, and till bill having been produced, the :Jury gave a verdict for the whole amount. ADAMSON V. TURNER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an oil and tallow merchant, carrying on business in South ampton-street, IlolbJrn, -against the defendant, a painter, in Kingqgate-street, f o r 19/. Il s ., f or goals sJI , I and delivered. The. Jury, in consequence of the default of the de fendaot, gave a verdict for the full amount claimed. lIOLRER V. BURN. The plaintiff in this case was a fishmonger, and brought his action against the defendant for the reco very of - 3/. 10s. Bd., for fish furnished to the de fendant. The action was undefended. Verdict for the plaintiff 31. 10s. Bd. HAYES V HARTLEY. _ The plaintiff in this action is an engraver and stationer, carrying on business • in Castle-street, Regent-street, and the defendant is a lady of fortune and title, residing in Grosvenor-square. The action was brought to recover the sum of 3,51: for engraving and other work done for the defendant, and her son. On . the case being called on, • the Learned Counsel stated to the Court that Lady Hartley had sent her butler to state that she would give her cheque for the amount of debt- and costs sooner- than be further troubled, although she stated that some of the charges were unreasonably'. The , Learned JUDGE, notwithstanding this intima tion, thought that some evidence ought to be produced to the ! Jury for the purpose of showing the work done. SeVeral witnesses were then called, from which it appeared that the plaintiff had engraved several seals for the- defendant with coronets, arm; and supporters, some of which had taken no less a time than a month to complete, and the engraving alone of each was valued at between 91. and 101. . The Jury after a short consultation gave a verdic for the full amount claimed 351. BARNARD V. JERVIS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a tailor, against the defendant, who was a clerk in the house of Messrs. Winter and Williams of Bedford- row, for the recovery of the sum of 161. 16s. 6d. for clothes. The Jury, the case being undefended, returned a verdict for the full amount. The Court having disposed of all the cases in the paper, rose at an early hour. SECONDARIES' COURT,. Oct. 14. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) JEPPS V. MILDOURNE. Thii was an action brotight by the - plaintiff, who is a hotise• agent, against the defendant, who is a house proprietor, to recover 71. .os. for having dispoied of certain houses for. the 'defendant. It ap peared froM evidence that the defendant had employed plaintiff, who had advertised the houses in question for sale, ,and had entered into negotiations with a gen tleman named Ford, for the purpose of disposing of them.; those negotiations we're broken off; and about a fortnight afterwards Mr.• Ford saw an advertisement for the disposal of the same houses from Messrs. Mills and Co., house-agents. He accordingly applied to them; and•in consequence of the latter advertisement purchased the houses., Mr. Jepps claimed the corn- mission on the ground of an undertaking which he said Mr. Milbourne had given to him to pay him whenever the hoUseS in qUestion should be dis posed' of, whether, through his instrumentality or not. The alleged undertaking was produced. It was written in a book belonging to Mr. Jepps over a re ceipt given to him by 111 r. Milbourne for a sum of 243. rent, which 'was - - made one document, with the undertaking, by making the latter conclude with the conjunction "and:'.'. The receipt and date at the top appeared to have been' written•' in- black ink, and the undertaking in ink of a different colour. There was evidence called asto the hand-writing, and a witness, named Bowtell, deposed to having heard the defendant make certainadtnissions , as to his liability to pay the commission. • For the defence it was contended that the alleged undertaking was a forgery, which had been inserted over the receipt, for the purpose of supporting the pre sent action. The-Learned SECONDARY having summed up, the Jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, re turned a verdict for the defendant.. On the verdict being delivered, • Mr. DOANE, on the part of the defendant, applied to have the book impounded as a forgery. The SECONDARY thought he had no power to im pound it. It was accordingly delivered to plaintiff's attorney. Mr. C. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Doane for the defendant. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Oct. 14. The Court was occupied during the day in hearing applications to bail, of which there were thirty-eight placed upon the list since the last clay of hearing. IN RE GEARING. The insolvent had carried on business as a general outfitter in High-street, Wapping. He attributed his insolvency to the circumstance of having joined his brother, who passed through this Court also a short time back, in several accommodation bills. He had likewise become responsible for him to several Loan Societies, and upon his insolven c y h e b ecame liable for, and was sued upon, all his debts. The names of about sixty creditors appeared in the sche dule, of which ten were secretaries to Loan Societies, and the amount of debts was upwards of 1,5001. He now applied to.be liberated upon bail until the day appointed for his final hearing, which, after a short examination, was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named John Wilson, one of those scheming vagabonds with whom the Metropolis abounds, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having defrauded Mr. Tanner, upholsterer, of the Minories, a tradesman of great simplicity of cha racter, of furniture and money. From the com plainant's statement, it appeared that the prisoner called upon him and introduced himself as a military tailor, who was making clothes for Captain Clarke, a gentleman of fortune, and that the Captain was anxious to have a chest of drawers, and a stand, and as he was a very particular man, it would be neces sary to be punctual as well as particular as to the preparation of the pieces of furniture. The com plainant undertook to make the articles, although Captain Cl a rk e never called to make any selection, being satisfied with the pattern exhibited by the pri soner, who desired that the drawers should be sent as soon as possible, to a court near Lincoln's Inn-fields. The complainant managed to get the drawers ready at the time appointed, and took them to the address, but no person of the name of Wilson was to be found anywhere in the neighbourhood. After having waited at the place between two and three hours, the complainant and his porter returned home. The pri soner soon afterwards called, and said he had made a mistake about his address, which really was at No. 6, Pear-yard, Lincoln's Inn-fields, to which the drawers must be speedily sent, as Captain Clarke was very . angry at the delay.' Next morning the complainant sent two boys with the drawers in a "truck to the new address, and told his porter to follow them to see that the drawers were delivered with pro per caution. They were accordingly delivered to the prisoner, who subseq uen tly ca ll e d at t h e compla i nant ' s shop, and not only procured the stand but eight shil lings to pay for what were called " fittings out." The prisoner had neither paid f or, t h e articles nor returned them. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose Captain Clarke did not call to pay fOr - the goods ? Complainant—N o ; I never saw Captain . Clarke at all. — (Laughter.) I was ; convinced the . Captain had the articles, for the prisoner told me he was making military clothes for the Captain. • The LORD MA - von,-1. suppose you would not have 'put 'the drawers into the possession of the pri soner, if 'he had not conjured up this Captain Clarke as the purchaser ? Complainant—No; Certainly not. The complainant then' stated that he heard no more of his. drawers or stand 'until some days after, as he was .;Walking along the Strand, what should he behold at the door of a shop butthe identical new drawers he 'had; made for Captain Clarke.—,(Laughter.) Well, he was surprised ' and upon gOing inside to speak to ttieishOpkeeperhiii shOuld'he see but his new stand, which he thought was safe along with the drawers ' the custody of Captain Clarke.—(Laughter.) So he asked the shopkeeper of whom the things had been purchased, and. the answer 6oriViriad him that the per son who had sold them was the prisoner and not Capt. Clarke.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Flower, who attended for the prisoner, asked the ecnnplAinant whether it was not the tact that he gave the prisoner a fortnight to pay the amount of the bill ?.---.The complainant, who spoke all through the examination Of Captain Clarke as if he believed the Captain Wag nct a creature of the prisoner's imagina tion, said the prisoner told him the moment the regi mentals were paid for, which would be in a week, the money should be forthcoming. Mr. Flower submitted that, although there was evidently sinister dealing upon the part of the pri soner, yet . the . case was clearly one of credit. The 'Louri"M'Ayon said he would not a ll o w a f e ll ow like the prisOner to, slip through his hands, because a poor tradesman happened to be credulous. Hawkins, the porter empl o y e d by th e comp l a i nan t to follow, the boy who conveyed the drawers to the prisoner's residence in Bear- lane, said that when he observed the prisoner had no shop he mentioned his surprise at the fact, upon which the prisoner said he did his business, of which he had a great deal, in the private way.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Did your master say any thing to you about the payment for the drawers ? Hawkins—No, not a word. The prisoner took the drawers into the houSe, and shut the door.—(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—Complainant, to whom did you look for payment ? Complainant—l expected to re ceive the money through the prisoner's hands from Capt. Clarke.- 7 -(Laughter.) I have since ascertained that the prisoirer is not a tailor at all, but a cabinet-; maker, so that he never received any order to make regimentals for - Capt. Clarke at all.—(Laughter.) Mr. Priest, of .No. 370, Strand, stated that the pri soner, whom he had seen frequently pass his shop, and whom he believed to- be a cabinet-maker, called upon him about a Week before 'they had any dealings together, and asked hitn whether he purchased drawers, stating to him at the same tune, that he_ had a chest at No. 6, Bear-lane, and wished hi m t o call and look at it. Witness, who never for a moment suspected the inte grity of the prisoner, called a ft er ano th er a ppli ca ti on , and - saw the drawers and stand; and offered 51. for them, which the prisoner accepted. The complainant said the money he was to have received from Capt. Clarke was 61. 12s. for the articles. The Loan MAroa said there was not the :lightest imputation against Mr. Priest; but the prisoner was evidently one of the swindlers who very ingeniously marked - the - diStinctions bet Ween - a robbery and a roguish debt. His Lordship wished to know whe , ther the young gentleman at the bar wished to say anything ? Mr. Flower—No, my Lord ; he has no desire to say any thing. The Loki) MA - ronWe will see what a Jury will say to the case.' I think there is matter for a Jury. Mr. Hobler—The question is whether he has not obtained the goods and the money under false pre tences. He creates this Captain Clarke, and upon that foundation he builds antic rest. Mr. Flower—After all, he tells a mere lie, and and through that lie he gains credit. That is done every day. Ido not at all attempt to deny or ques tion the. criminality of his conduct; but to send him for trial will' be only to put the county to needless expense: The Loan MAYOR thought the experiment by no means an iinpreper or an extravagant one; and he should hold the prisoner to bail in the sum of 1001. and oblige him to find two sureties for 50/. each, to appear at the Central Criminal Court. Prisoner—My Lord, I shall be able to get the mo.. ney to pay Mr. Turner. The LORD MAYOR—You must give me 24 hours notice of bail. Prisoner—Please your Lordship, I shall be able to pay the gentleman before Monday the money I owe him. The Loanlayoft—You must get him the price of the articles you got possession of. I dare say you will be able to get the money from Captain Clarke without taking home the regimentals to him. (Laugh te r.) The prisoner was then sent back to prison. BOW-STREET. Margaret Angus,' Alexander Johnson, and Mu t h Steele, were placed at the bar on the charge of stealing eight 5E notes, the property o: Thomas Fairweather. Mr. Robinson, the attorney, conducted the pro secution. Thomas Fairweather deposed that he was a purser in the Navy=, and lived at Market Weighton, Yorkshire.

TRADE of ENGLAND and FRANCE. We find the following in the Journal du Havre, on the comparative rgtorns of the mercantile trade of England and "In 1841, the English ports received or dispatched 42,719 vessels, measuring 7,525,585 tons. There had been, in 1840, 42,435 vessels, and 7,497,833 tong. This increase is inconsiderable, but it must be stated that in the preceding year the augmentation amounted to 882,000 tons. The tonnage of the vessels leaving or entering the ports of France, in 1840, was 2,896,000 tons. In 1839, the amount was 2,930,000 tons, showing, it is true, only a small falling off; but still it was a falling off. Up to this point, putting aside the enormous numerical in feriority of our tonnage, the comparison is but of little importance; but becomes eminently discour aging, when the parts which the shipping of both countries have taken respectively in the general move ment are considered. In England, out of 7,525,585 tons, English vessels transported 5,525,429, giving a proportion of 74 to 26, or about three-fourths. In. France, out of 2,696,000 tons, our vessels took only 1,211,000 tons, or a proportion of 42 to 58, or a little more than two-fifths. Thus, whilst for England the results of the present year give the same returns, showing that if the movement of the national naviga tion has not progressed, it has not at least retrograded, in France, the same examination shows that, in the space of a year only, foreign shipping has taken from us a twenty-fifth part of the carrying trade. In 1841, the coasting trade of England gave the large total of 22,184,047 tons. In France, in 1840, the quantity was only 2,314,735 tons, not much more than the tenth part. The average burden of vessels employed in the English coasting trade is about 80 tons, whilst in France it only amounts to 27 tons. The whole of the merchant vessels of England amounted in 1840 t', 28,692, measuring 3,311,528 tons. France, at the same period, possessed 15,600 vessels, the tonnage of which did not exceed 602,600 tons. A remark which these figures suggest, and which is not without inte rest, is that whilst the number of our vessels is equal to nearly the half of those possessed by Great _Bri tain, the amount of their tonnage scarcely reaches a fifth part."

TEA.--In the Tea market mach heaviness has pre vailed since our last report ; importers are still desirous to realise, and having again brought forward large parcels, and much greater than the demand, has pro duced a further decline in the value of nearly every de scription.

To-day merchants submitting to a further reduction at the public sales of per lb. for Congon, and 2d for Pouceong tempted the trade to Operate more freely, and the proportion sold was larger than yesterday, but the biddi ug s ;Irv; th., laiacket, ints „still a Ault appearance ; in the value of green Tea there was no far t,her change.
