SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—One of the most obvious benefits which the nation has a right to expect and demand from the Government, as the consequence of restored peace, is relief from the burdens which were imposed in order to meet the increased expenses occasioned by war— especially if the treaty of peace secure the payment to this country of a sum which, with the amount re ceived from the extraordinary impost, not only meets the additional expenses incurred by the war, but also the deficiency in the Exchequer arising from every other cause of defalcation. This, then, is the case we undertake to establish. If we suc ceed, all pretence for continuing the Income-tax beyond the current year is removed. That most iniquitous and obnoxious tax—the oppression and annoyances of which have been denounced alike strongly by the Tory and Whig journals—will have received its death-blow. The 10th of October next , will be the close of its infamous career. We take, • then, for the purposes of our argument, Sir Robert Peel's estimate of the deficiency for which, on the 11th of March last, when proposing the Income-tax, he was called on to provide. Sir Robert Peel theft took credit for " making a full and fair statement" of the financial difficulties of the country. Let the Right Hon. Baronet, however, take the benefit of his own " full" exposition. The deficiency was 7,502,000/. ; the estimated deficiency for 1843, was 2,570,000/. ; the latter sum, of course will, by the termination of tbe Chinese and Indian wars, be very considerably reduced. Taking, however, this, greatly overrated estimate of the expenditure for 1843, the entire amount to be provided for is 10,720,0001. a sum which is nearly covered by the five millions to be paid by the Chinese Government, and the five mil lions which will be produced by the first year's Income-tax. The reduction in the Army and • Navy Estimates will, of course, be cons i derable . The impulse given to trade and manufactures by the opening of the Chinese markets to British produce, and the consequent ability of the long unemployed manufacturing population of this coun try to purchase something like an adequate propor• tion of the articles of general consumption, on which the national revenue depends to a considerable extent for its receipts—these obvious and indis putable sources of increase, with the certainty of a large diminution in the estimates which will be required for the naval and military services, will relieve the Exchequer on the one hand, and replenish it on the other. The deficiency is thus met—and the appre hension of a recurrence of such a state of things is re moved. We have only to advert to the strong assur ance given by the Duke of Wellington in the House of Lords during the debates on the Income-tax Bill in that assembly, to satisfy the country that nothing more is necessary than for a strong demonstration of public opinion to be made against this vexatious and oppressive tax, to secure its Aandonment by the Go vernment at the close of its first year's operation : " We are aware," said his Grace, speaking in the name of the Government, " of the odious nature of the -powers given to the Commissioners and others ap pointed to carry out its provisions, and to whom it must be entrusted, and we reconcile it only to our selves by the strong necessity of the case. My Lords, nothing but the necessity of the case—nothing but the certainty that no other course could be taken which would produce a revenue to enable us to meet the difficulties of the country, or to take those measures which may be necessary for its prosperity, could havr induced us to propose such a measure to Parliament; and, as I said before, it will not be continued one moment longer than it is absoutely necessary." In demanding, on behalf of the country, the aboli tion of this tax—the odious character of which is ad mitted by its proposers—we ask for nothing more than the fulfilment of the pledge here given. The Duke of Wellington in the Lords reiterates the lan guage of Sir Robert Peel in the Commons " Neces sity' —" strong necessity," impelled the Government to have recourse to it : that necessity, happily, no longer exists. We demand, and the country will en force, the pledge so clearly and fully given, that " the tax shall not be continued one moment longer than is absolutely necessary." STANDARD.—The murder of Mr. Scully has excited an extraordinary interest in Ireland. The crime by itself is a shocking one, though, unhappily, too familiar in the sister island to create the feelinc , that this murder has created ; but the position of th e ° victim was peculiar. Mr. Scully was a Roman Ca tholic and a Liberal in politics, the son of a dis tinguished member of the Irish bar, Mr. Denys Scully, who about thirty years ago compiled a trea tise on the penal laws, once or twice successfully prosecuted as a seditious libel, and which has served as the brief of the Roman Catholic agitators ever since. Mr. Scully also had, we believe, the ho nour to be nearly connected with Ireland's greatest poet, Mr. Moore. According to all accounts, the murdered gentleman was an amiable man, who as serted the rights of property and no more, and as serted these mbderately, and rather with a view to the moral improvements of his tenantry than to any pecu niary gain ; lie sought, it is said, to clear his estate of "bad characters," an effort which every landlord owes to the country, but which, it will be remembered, was furiously denounced in the cases of Lords Lorton, Brandon, and other noblemen and gentlemen who have exerted themselves for the improvement of Ireland. The truth is, that the Roman Catholic clergy and others have, for political and sectarian purposes, laboured to establish the doctrine, that in any dispute between landlord and tenant the landlord must be always in the wrong—a doctrine which the ignorant tenant will not be the last to receive, or the slowest to act upon, through those conspiracies which the priests, for the advancement of another branch of their political and sectarian scheme have acquired and pro moted. The Protestant clergy and gentry were the first victims ; but a war of poverty against wealth, or ganised and armed in conspiracy, would soon cease to notice political or religious distinctions. FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT SEA. On Sunday night last, at Strangford, during a dreadful gale of wind from the south-west, a brig belonging to Newcastle, named the Echo, commanded by Mr. Evans, and a crew of seven persons, was totally lost on the Cannon Rocks, near the north and south light, and four of her unhappy freight met with a watery grave. At N ew h aven , on M on day morning last, a vessel, supposed about 30 tons burden, was found totally wrecked on the rocks under the cliff westward of the harbour of this port. From the name of " Manuel" being painted in white letters on a quarter-board, w hi c h was washed ashore in the course of the_morni ng' she is supposed to be a French craft. All the crew are reported to have perished with the vessel. By the barquVenus, which . arrived at Antwerp on Tuesday last, the master re ports having passed on the morning of Friday, the 18th of last month, the wreck of a large vessel burnt to the water's edge. He bore round it severa l t i mes for the purpose of discovering her name, but wa s unable to do so. The wreck was in lat. about 49, long. 8. Among the accounts received by the Great Western steam-ship, which arrived at Liverpool . on N Wednesday morning, were those dated assau, Oc tober 21, and New Orleans, November 8, detailing the destruction of two vessels by fire; namely, the Maid of Arkansas, a steamer, and an American ship, the Ceres, Captain Cliffe, from Mobile to New York. The Groat Western also brings tidings of the loss of several other ships. The Trial, a fine three-masted vessel, master's name Le Blanc, from Prince Edward's Island for St. John's, Newfoundland, went on shore on the night of the 3d of November, at Pompkit, near' Antigouish, and became a total wreck. All hands, amounting to 25 persons, perished. On the 18th of the same month, the ship Eliza, belonging to London, was driven by a furious gale on to the south-east end of the island of Anticosti. About three hours after she had struck she slid off the rocks into deep water, and sank immediately. Two seamen, and a passenger named Touton, were drowned ; the rest of the crew reached the shore. On the 3d of the same month the ship Mary, of Sydney, was totally lost near Manidieu. The crew were saved. Amongst the other vessels wrecked are the Shamrock, on the Barnegas Shoals ; the Curlew, Captain Ri c hi e , o f Argyle ; the barque Resolution, of London ; the schooners George and Empress, andthree others. The loss of the latter was stated to be 70,0001. SUPPOSED MURDER 1N NOTTS. Three weeks ago, a young man of the name of Millington, of Hohne Pierrepont, became suddenly missing, and fears are entertained that he is mur dered. He was on the eve of marriage, and having been at Nottingham to purchase articles for his wed ding, he called at Mrs. Richards', the Town Arms, Trent Bridge, and had a glass or two of ale. Mr. John Spencer, of Adbolton, a neighbour, Was there, and sat a short time drinking with him, and afterwards they parted at Mr. Spen cer's garden gate. No tidings have been heard of Millington since, although every inquiry has been made. We understand he was servant to the Rev. J. J. Cleaver, who is taking every step possible to trace out the mystery. A mat basket which he carried has been found, and also his hat, the lining having been torn out of it, which was found at Hover- Ingham, on Friday morning The conviction is that he has been robbed and thrown into the river. The daily reports about him are truly mortifying —Notts Review of yesterday. PRIVENT i SEASON.—A circumstance of a novel kind points out, in a remarkable manner, the long Aaard drought which has prevailed during autumn, and which, i n d ee d, h a s very jr .

The Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors and Directors of this Railway was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the pur pose of receiving the Directors' and Engineer's Re port, a statement of the accounts, and to declare forfeit certain shares. _ _ JOSEPH BAXENDALE Esq., took the Chair, and read the Report, which stated, " That since the last general meeting the line had been further opened—to Head corn in the month of August, and within the present week to Ashford. The opening to Headcorn—the mileage over which the Company's receipts were taken, being, of course, increased, while, at the same time, the payment of toll to the Brighton Company had ceased, that to the Croydon had been modified under the arrangement referred to below, and the tax payable to Government had been placed on a different footing—appeared to the Directors a proper opportunity for introducing lower fares and an additional class of passengers. So far as a limited experience had enabled the Directors to arrive at a conclusion on the subject, it warranted a be lief that the experiment had increased the general usefulness of the Railway, and the net profit to the Company. By the opening to Ashford it was expected that the existing traffic from London to Do ver and Canterbury would be diverted into its new channel, and that many of the difficulties with which the Company had hat to contend in respect to the conveyance of passengers and parcels, beyond the line of the Railway to their ulterior destination, would be removed. The full development of the traffic to which the line was entitled, and the entire freedom from de pendence upon arrangements not properly falling within the province of a Railway Company, could not of course be looked for until the full advantages of the new system had been offered to the public by the opening throughout to Dover. The pro posed extension from the point where the Croy don diverges from the Greenwich line to the Grange-road, had occupied the careful attention of the Directors. In pursuance of the resolution passed at the last meeting, they had contracted to purchase, for about 35,0001., so much of the land required as was necessary in order to secure to the Company the power of prosecuting the design. Further negotiations had put them in a position to recommend to the Proprie tors theeontinuatton of the line to a point near the Brick layers' Arms, still nearer to London than that which was considered at the last meeting. The advantages of a West-end terminus, close to the already accus tomed point of convergence on the southern side of the bridges, were great and obvious ; but these did not constitute the only , inducement by which the Directors bad been influenced. The terminus at London-bridge, which would shortly be completed, was very valuable for the purposes it was designed to serve, but did not afford sufficient space for carrying out in a safe, creditable, and efficient manner, the amount and various kinds of traffic in passengers, goods, and cattle, which might reasonably be expected at the London terminus of the line. Twenty-three acres of commodious station room would be made available if the present suggestion were adopted ; and the Directors were advised by their engineer that the increased convenience thus afforded to the Company was a consideration to which they could not easily attach too great importance. The Brighton Company had declined to unite in the proposed extension, and as the participation of the Croydon Company was uncertain, the Proprietors of this Company, if they sanctioned he project, must be prepared to invest the Directors with full powers for carrying it into effect on the sole responsibility of the South-Eastern Company. The total cost of this branch, with the extension now proposed, including the costs of application to Parliament, and of the line and station, would probably be not far short of 200,000/. Against this expenditure, besides the ad vantages above referred to, must be set the annual amount saved in tolls, and the confluence of traffic likely to be attracted to this branch ; and considering its importance, and the advanced and promising state of the undertaking generally, the Directors did not hesitate to recommend its adoption to the meeting. The Proprietors were aware, that in order to com plete the line according to the estimates laid before previous meetings, two sums of 120,0001. and 100,000/. remained to be raised under the authority of the Acts already obtained. The order of a General Meeting was necessary to enable the Board to raise these sums ; that for the 120,0001. was given by a previous meeting, and that for 100,000/. would be submitted to the Proprietors. The mode pro posed by the Board was the issue of debentures and loan notes, for the whole amount required. The Directors have had much satisfaction in laying betore the Proprietors Mr. Stephenson's elaborate Report, on the surveys made for lines connecting the South-Eastern Railway, by way of Calais or Boulogne, with Paris and other important places on the Continent of Europe. While this Company, from a sense of propriety as well as of prudence, had always abstained from any interference with the projects for railways on the other side' of the Channel, the Proprietors could not fail to receive with interest a Report ascertaining, by a careful comparison of engineering capabilities with existing traffic, the future prosperity of an undertaking calculated to enhance the value of their own line. The statement of the receipts and expenditure showed a balance of 108,3751. 10s. Old. in the hands of the Company. The CHAIRMAN . then read the Engineer's Report, which stated the line was now opened to Ashford, and would be opened throughout in the end of next year. The opening to Folkstone would take place early in the summer. The Chairman then went on to say, that in 1836 the Royal Assent was given to the Bill of the South-Eastern Railway Company, and the first general meeting of the Proprietors took place in 1837. Perhaps no railway had ever moved slower than this one appeared to have done. The expenditure since the commencement of the Rail way had averaged about 100,0001. per an num ; but from March to November last the expenditure had been 260,0001., and for the whole year 1,230,0001., making a total of two millions of money. During the time the railway had been in course of completion, the Directors had frequently changed, and now only one original Director re mained, and he (the Chairman) happened to be the third who had presided at that Board. In the six years following 1835 there had been an expenditure of 320,0001., and in the following six months, 250,000/. From September to October, 1842, the expenditure was 224.000/. ; since which period up to the 15th November, it had been 193.0001., the total payment, therefore, was 2,187,0001. The further expenditure required, according to the Engineer's Report, was 596,0001., making a total of 2,783,0001.; but from this sum would be deducted the interest paid on the shares which had been received back, the cost of the land at the Bricklayers' Arms, and other items, which would reduce the sum to 2,681,0001. The line would, therefore, be completed at a cost of between three and four millions. The total amount at present at command of the Directors was 83,0001. The estimate for the Dover terminus would be considered at a special ge neralrms meeting. The terminus at the Bricklayers' A was a subject of great importance, and would be brought under the consideration of the meeting. This terminus, if erected, wo u ld pl ace th e ra ilway within about three quarters of a mile of St. Paul's, about a mile and a half from Westminster-bridge, about two miles from Waterloo-bridge, and two and a half from Charing-cross. The necessity for thislbbraatnch businesswas very urgent. At the present station it was out o f th e question to think of ca rr y i ng goods , v could be conducted when he told them that the station for three Companies, the Brighton, the Croyd on , and the Dover, stood on ground about a quarter the size of Westminster Hall. It appeared to him that there was no earthly reason why the Brighton, the Dover, and the Croydon should not act in concert, and for their mutual benefit. The station at London-bridge for the three Companies was 100 feet by 52, while at the Camden station of the London and Birming ham for one carrier alone the allotment was 227 feet.—(Hear, hear.) He therefore thought that the Grange undertaking must be beneficial to the Dover Company. The Chairman then entered into a long statement to show that the arrangement made by the Company with respect to the New Cross Station, had been of great advantage to the Company. The arrangement being, that instead of paying ls. per head each passenger indiscriminately upon the line to the Croydon Company, the Croydon Company should take a proportionate charge for each, according to the distance travelled, whereby the Dover Company had been enabled to carry third-class pas sengers. The next point he would call their atten tion to was the position of each Company with respect to each other. He thought the public and the Com panies would be materially benefited by the Direc tors in each pulling well together.—(Hear, hear.) The Brighton, the Croydon, and the Dover Company had no possible excuse for not acting as one. He hoped that the proprietors would take some measures so as to compel thirty-eight foolish gentlemen to adopt a course which must be beneficial to all. He had hoped that common sense would prevail, but it had not seemed to have gained ground at all. He had seen the establishments reducing their labourers from 21s. to 195., but this was not the reform that was re= quired ; what was wanted was to make the three Companies work as one. They did not want three Directors, three staffs, or three locomotive ' establishmentd. Could any one suppose that two sta tions were required at Croydon and two at Reigate? He had heard this bitterly complained of by passen gers, who had suffered. What was required was one staff for the whole, one engineer, one secretary, ttia one inspector. He was happy to say that they had no disputes with their contractors, as many other railways-had. All that they now had to do was to complete the- terminus at Dover, and he hoped that I the one at the Bricklayers' Arms would be sanctioned. He concluded by moving the adoption of the Report. I 1, Waluly said that according to his calcula- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1842. tions he made the total expenditure on the railway upwards of 3,000,0001. for its completion. The CHAIRMAN said that upwards of 300,0001. was deficient in the calls. _ _ Mr. WisHAw wished to know why Mr. Yates had ,resigned his situation as superintendent of the line, and whether that resignation had been an inconvenience to the Company. He wished to know also what the actual cost of the railway was likely to be. The CHAIRMAN said the less that was said on that subject by the friends of Mr. Yates the better. His resignation had not been an inconvenience to the Company. The cost of the railway, as was stated at the last meeting, would be about 2,691,0001. This was the statement they made at the last meeting, and this was the statement they adhered to now. After a very long discussion, the motion that the Report be received, adopted, and printed, was put and carried. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution was em powering the Company to raise 220,0001. upon loan notes. This resolution was put and carried. A resolution was then passed, empowering the Di rectors to apply to Parliament for a Bill to continue the line of railway to Dover under Arch Cliff Fort. This resolution was passed without comment. The resolution come to at the last meeting, forfeit ing certain shares, was confirmed. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to em power the Company to go to Parliament for a Bill to form a branch of the railway to the Grange, near the Bricklayers' Arms, and to erect a station. A great deal of discussion ensued upon this reso lution ; several Proprietors opposed it, as not tending to benefit the Company. Mr. LEVY said that the principal trade would be in hops, and it was well known that as Southwark was the great hop-market that the dealers would, as a matter of course, go to London Bridge rather than send waggons to the Grange. He should, therefore, propose, as an amendment to the resolution, that the subject be taken into consideration that day twelve months. Considerable discussion!arose upon this, and The CHAIRMAN said the Directors would abide by the decision of the meeting. He could only say that the ground could now be got for a low sum, and if they delayed, they might not have an opportu nity of purchasing it except at an enormous outlay, as the place would soon be built upon. If at any future time the Proprietcat should see the policy of purchas ing this land, and the present proposition were reject ed, he hoped they would not blame the Directors. The amendment was then put and lost. The original resolution, which empowered the Directors to go to Parliament, either in conjunction with or without the Croydon Company, for the Bill, was put and carried. A resolution was then proposed, empowering the Directors to sell the forfeited shares. This resolution was carried. A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairman, and the meeting separated at four o'clock. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DOWNING-STREET, DEC. 2, 1842.

LAW INtELLIGENC.b. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 2. MACNAMARA V. HULSE AND OTHERS. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. KELLY addressed the. Jury for the defendants, and called a witness, when the CHIEF BARON summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants, on the ground that the alleged invention of the plain tiff was not new. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Lord DENBIAN and Mr. Baron PARKE.) William Dewey, 40, a soldier, was next charged with the wilful murder of Ellen Derrick. The prisoner, by the Coroner's inquisition, ap peared to be charged with the offence of manslaughter. Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. In this case, it appeared that the deceased had lived with the prisoner as his wife for several years, and on the day mentioned in the indictment the pri soner was seen assisting the deceased, who was very much intoxicated, along the street, and she was ob served to fall several times. The prisoner picked her up, and when she fell, some of the witnesses ex pressed their opinion that the prisoner kicked her, but the fact was by no means distinctly proved. When the prisoner got the deceased home he obtained the assistance of the neighbours, and appeared to have done all he could for her relief. Mr. Baron PARKE, at the close of the evidence for the prosecution, said that there did not appear to be any foundation for the charge of murder, but he must confess that he was surprised, when the Coroner's Jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter only, that a charge of murder should be preferred against the prisoner. Lord Chief Justice DENMAN said he quite con curred in the observations that had been made by his Learned Brother, and he thought that they applied equally to the former case. He could not help ex pressing his opinion that in such cases as these it was most cruel to put an individual upon his trial for his life. Mr. CIIARNOCK then addressed the Jury, and said that the prisoner and the public were indebted to the Learned Judges for the opinion they had expressed in reference to this and the preceding case, and he trusted it would have the effect of preventing, for the future, such an occurrence, as that an individual should be subjected to the terror and misery of being arraigned upon a charge affecting his life when the evidence could not, by any means, support such an indictment. The Learned Counsel was then about to proceed to comment upon the facts as affecting a charge of manslaughter, when the Jury stopped him, and said they had made up their minds, and con sidered the charge was not made out against the prisoner. Baron PARKE—You do not think that he is even guilty of the offence of manslaughter. The Foreman —No, my Lord. A verdict of " Not guilty " was then returned, and the Court ordered the prisoner to be immediately dis charged. John Bickerstaff,_ aged 17, was indicted for stealing from the person of James William Worthington a cloak, value 21., the property of the Rev. J. W. Worthington. As the facts of the case have been given fully in the police reports within the last - two or three days, it will be unnecessary to repeat them on the present occa sion. The prisoner, it will be recollected, met the son of the prosecutor, and under pretence of sending him to get a trap and ball, she got possession of his cloak, and made off with it. There were several other in dictments against her of a similar character. The Jury found her guilty, and the Court ordered her to be transported for ten years. The Grand Jury having returned a true bill against Mr. Barnard Gregory for publishing an alleged libel in the Satirist newspaper on the Duke of Brunswick, Mr. Bodkin applied to the Court to fix the amount of recognizances, and Lord Denman directed that the defendant should enter into his own recognizances in 100/., and find two sureties in 501. eeeh, to abide his trial. kered fellow, NEW COURT. ROBBER? AT A FIGHT.—An athletic, large whis stealing, on th e 29 t h o f November, six pounds of beef named Thomas Taylor , was indicted for and part of a hare, from the larder of James Belcher. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Berkeley Arms public-house, at Cranbrook, Middlesex, and that, on the morning of Tuesday last, a coach and a van loaded with patrons of the "ring," and a miscel cellaneous collection of members of the " swell mob" and the "fancy," did hi m the honour of stopping at his door for refr es h men t, on the way to a "mill" that was to come off that day on the Bath road. The gen tlemen alighted, and proceeded en masse to the bar, where the attention of the prosecutor was soon en tirely occupied i n supp l y i ng them with liquor ; while so engaged, som e o f th em , i n the most daring manner , fastened the unfort una te Boniface into his own bar, while another part o f th e gang made prisoners of the servants in the kitchen. They then proceeded to the larder, and help e d th emse lves to such viands as it con tained, concluding by decamping with the beef and the hare mentioned in the indictment. As soon as prosecutor regained his liberty, he pursued the coach, and found th e l os t provisions very n ear the prisoner's place ; as h e h a d been one of the most active in the sack of th e l ar d er , prose cutor gave him inte the cus tody of an offi cer , and charged him w_th robbery. , ile COM MON S ERGE ANT, in summing up, said a clear case of larceny had been wa d e out, and had the - whole gang been taken up they would all have been equally guilty. The Jury convicted the prisoner. It appeared that he was well known as an old offender. He addressed the Court with great vehe mence, and not without plausibility, complaining bit terly of the hardship of his being picked out from among all the others for prosecution. His previous character, however, was too much for any protesta tions to get over, and he was sentenced to seven years' transportation.—The prisoner was removed from the bar, loudly protesting that he had been hardly dealt with. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) WORSHIP-STREET. George Johnson alias " Black George," William Styles alias Bayes, and Alfred Herring, lads under 18 years of age, were finally brought up charged, conjointly with Rosina Homer, a young prostitute, with having been concerned in stealing from an omnibus a quantity of ladies' mittens, the property of Mr. Wright, a purse and mitten manufacturer, in St. Thomas's-square, Hackney. It appeared that on Saturday last the property was entrusted to the care of one of Saunders's Hack ney Omnibus conductors with directions that he was to leave it at the booking-office attached to the Flower Pot in Bishopsgate-street. On reaching Cambridge-heath turnpike, the conductor got off the steps of the omnibus for the purpose of soliciting a fare, and the instant he had turned his back, the prisoner Johnson who had been lurking in the neighbour hood, jumped into his place and called out " All right," to the driver, who proceeded on his journey. There was only one passenger in the omnibus, who got out at the corner of Houndsdith, and as he was going away, called the attention of Johnson to the box con taining the property which was lying on the seat, and the latter answered that is was "All right." On the arrival of the omnibus at the Flower Pot, the prisoner Johnson had disappeared; but the real conductor came up soon after on another omnibus, and on mak ing search for the box he found it apparently undis turbed, and delivered it into the care of the book keeper. On the same evening the prosecutor called for the box, and being struck with its lightness of weight, he removed the lid, and found that it was empty. Evidence having been given against the parties, who were all implicated, they were committed for trial, with the exception of Herring, who was ad mitted to bail on account of his youth and inexperience. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of December 2) SUGAR.—Although the demand for British Plantation Sugar has been limited this week, both for the scale and for refining purposes, still merchants have shown more firmness, and have obtained previous rates, excepting for brown sorts, which have been disposed of in some cases on rather lower terms. To-day good and fine yellow descriptions of West India Sugar were in fair request, and brought full rates, but the market was dull for brown and low yellow sorts, and the prices accepted were 6d per cwt under those of Friday last. The total sales of the week are 1,350 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—Prices have advanced 6d to Is per cwt for Refined Sugar this week, and the demand has been very good for home consumption. To-day Bonded Crushed Sugar was in request, and fetched 26s to 26s 6d per cwt for first, at which rates there are not further sellers ; the refiners are all cleared out. The home demand for goods continues, and brown grocery lumps cannot be had under 73s per cwt. MAURITIIIS.—YdIow descriptions are wanted, and for fine 67s to 68s have been paid, being rather above former rates, and the supply is small ; other kinds have been in fair request at the former value.

To-day lower rates were again accepted fur com mon ; a parcel• of low St. Vincents 3 years old, was sold at 24s per cwt.

Out of 61,000, pkgs offered only 22,600 have been ac tually disposed of at prices which show a decline on las public sales rates of Id to 2d for Congou, lid. for Twankay, 3d to 4d foi Pouchong, 3d for Souchong, and 2d to 4d for Hyson, Young Hyson, Imperial, Gun powder, and Pekoe Teas, and at rather lower rates for all other sorts.

Yesterday the returns of insolvents who petitioned for protection under the provisions of this Act were sent in, when 57 names appeared in the short space of thirty days. This, it must be borne in mind, is quite independent of the numerous petitions which are disposed of in Portugal•street, where the Learned Commissioner is occupied from ten o'clock in the morning until late in the evening, almost every day in the week, in hear. ing cases, when the aggregate amount of debts is not sufficient to entitle the petitioner to the benefit of the new arrangements under Lord Brougham's Act. Sewell and Co. solicit immediate inspection from the public to their immense stock of foreign velvets, at Bs. 9d., 10s. 9d., and 12s. 9d., original prices being 15s. 6d., 18s. 6d., and 21s.

REMEDY. FOR CHILBLAINS. —A common remedy for Chilblains among the peasants in Russia is the rind of perfectly ripe cucumbers, dried with the soft parts attached, and placed with the inner side, previ ously soaked in warm water, over the sore parts. Dmitriefsky confirms the efficacy of this remedy.— Annals of Chemistry. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Higgs held an inquest : the Horse and Groom, Whitcombe-street, Suffoll street East, on the body of a newly-born female child, of parentage unknown. An in vesti g ation h es beeninstituted by the police authorities of Quee square, which, it is feared, will implicate a 'worn sa of good character, and the mother of six childre with the present alleged murder. Henry "'offer, 8, Whitehead's-grove, Chelsea, sal d that on Wednesday evening he saw , in one of t ti if watering places in Duke's-court, at t he back of . a National Gallery, a small deal box , w hich he lifted up, and tried to open. It was nailed, however,. and he carried it away, and gave it to the first policeman he met, who took it to the Gardine r ' s-lane stat2ou house, where it was opened in presence of witne: ;s . The box contained the body of a female child , wrapp et up in a linen apron. There had been a mark 0 - number upon it, which had been picked out. Thomas Cope, 156 A, said that Inspector Pr tridge, who was on duty at the stat ion-house, 3 60 quested the attendance of Dr. M‘Cann , surgeon 1; their division, who ordered the child to be sent to its surgery. Witness carried it there, and a post in ort ad examination was made before him. The surgeon the child had been born alive, and fro m the appea ante of the face and a mark around the neck,l should say it had been strangled. One of the apt° 3e 1 " strings -was missing, and the supposi t i on was, Witt with it the murder had been done. One of the Jurymen asked the Coroner whether Inspector Partridge had any authority to send the child's . body for examination to Dr. M‘Cann ? and being answered that the proper course would have been to have sent the body to St. Martin's work hnuse, .there to be seen by the parish surgeons, a long discussion ensued, and the manlier in which I . o spector Partridge and Dr. I\l'Cann bad acted bell commented . upon pretty freely, the result was, that an adjournment of the inquest was ordered till. ,lon' day,. that . the opinion of the parish surgeons might be had in evidence before them.
