[THE TIMES.] Those who have the misfortune to be affected in their interests by the unnatural condition of Spanish finance, continue, we are told, to agitate themselves with speculations on a change in its immediate prospects. A new loan is still the daily.talk. One of the Commissioners for liqui dating the claims of British subjects on the Go vernment of Spain, having, according to yester day's rumour, been asked by a merchant who had succeeded in establishing the validity of his own claims, how the debt was to be satisfied, an swered that the Commissioners had no money, but that the Spanish Government expected ere long to conclude a contract for a new loan, by the bonds of which loan the unlucky creditors of that bankrupt Power were to be provided for. To any participation in a contract for lend. ing money to so dishonest and degraded a debtor as the Treasury of Ferdinand VII., we have already stated our objectious with. out reserve. Nothing can exceed the im morality of furnishing such assistance to such a Government, but its immeasurable folly. The purpose for which King Ferdinand wants these three, four, or five millions of English specie, is one which, if it should succeed, will inevitably rob the fellow-subjects of the lenders of more than au equal sum now due to them by another class of borrowtrs. The millions lent to Ferdinand go at once for au enterprise, the direct and exclusive aim of which is to destroy the independence of Spanish America, and thereby to wipe off at one stroke of the sponge every farthing, principal and interest, on which so many thousand English, met), women, and chil dren, reckon for their subsistence from the Go vernments o f the new Republics. It is indeed Self-evident, that for every 1001. now lent to Spain, she ought to hind herself to pay another 1001. to the holders of Mexican and South American Stock, until the whole of their demands upon the quail. darn Colonies shall have been liquidated—that is, we mean, provided she succeeds in her attack; otherwise, we have a pretty strong proof in the treatment experienced by the creditors of Con-, stitutional Spain herself, what fate is in reserve, for those who have advanced money to the Ame ricans. if, on the other hand, the Spanish Go vernment should fail in this expedition, we ask any man of common sense to inform us, what is the value, per million sterling, of any new Bonds to be issued by Ferdinand, on the security of his F:uropean crown, or—still worse—of his personal promise ? Will he mortgage America to his English creditors in case of the sujugation of that continent by his arms ? He may, we doubt not, swear to any thing ; but suppose him once more Autocrat of the New World—will he notexclaim that it is beneath his dignity to fulfil a pledge which his Royal necessities have wrung from him ? Will he, at all events, mortgage the domains of the Spanish church ? lie did so before ; and soon run his knuckles through the parchment : what Is more, if he had not, the Monks would have poi soned him, or the Holy Allies have cast him to the other wild beasts whom they have lot loose upon the Peninsula. It is, on the whole, alto gether ridiculous to suppose, that any one re spectable capitalist in Europe will lend his as sistance to reward the rogues of Spain for their unheard-of profligacy. Who the parties are that offer themselves for so illustrious an undertaking, nobody can yet declare. Are they in connexion with the M. Ouvrard who so distinguished him self about six months ago by a similar attempt ? kaiORNING P0151`.1 A series of t e This Pernamimeana to the 4th of Jinn, brings, under the head of North Ventilra, an account of hostilities having com mence(' between the Serviles and the Liberals, in the environs of Itabninu, the seat of the Pro visional Government elected by the inland towns. It,ls stated that on the 24th May 500 men,' con slating of the troops and militia in Viler do Pilar, -find of all the , ruffians in the prisons of the town, approached Itabaiuna with two pieces of cannon, which. played for some time, though to very little purpose, upon the Liberals, who, on des crying the enemy, had,:to the number of 1,500, taken up strong positions. At nine in the morning a most obstinate action began, in which the Servilei were so roughly handled on, ull points that they called for a suspension of arms, which being ac ceded to by the Liberals, one of the best Officers of their party, Lieut. Silva, wns prevailed upon by the Servile Captain Franca to accompany him to his own side of the field of battle, where he Was treacherously killed by a pistol shot. Ex asperated by this perfidious deed, the Liberals advanced upon the enemy,and about four q'cicick compelled them to retire in great confusion, leav ing one of their cannon behind, end the field strewed with dead bodies, and carrying .away a number of wounded. On the following day the conquered abandoned Viler doPilar. Thff killed amounted in all to 113, t).3 of which, were U. here's. 'f he latter also sustained considerable damage from the sucking of part of the town of Ilabitieng, which was mercilessly ravaged by the militia, while the other troops were engaged. NC/KNISH HERALD.] From the letter which has been addressed by tin Governor of the French West India islami of Martinique, o General Paez, the hero of Ve nezuela, we should, be inclined to the (*pion, that the French are making preparations in that , island to render assistance to the Spaniards in their probably contemplated attempts to re-pos- SeSS thertOwitrek of their "coloides.• rtia assertion of Count Doo,zoot is, that the troops newly Ini• ported there are for the better ' security 'of the iSland, and that the vessels newly arrived are to better protect 'French and other vessels from the depredations of Privateers, we do not believe .butoil the contrary, we think these ttsser tions are just groUnds for apprehending that 3 the French are bent on helping the Spaniards,: It Is the tact of the-French Govorn. meat, when it i s about carrying any scheme into execution, to put forth, that, it, intends to do something of a protective nature. We should remember its calling the army destined to in vade Spain, " Sanitary Cordon ;" then " the Corps of Observation ;" then 64 the (joys that was to rescue Ferdinand, and then it was to return to France. This letter of the Count Donzelot, as well as the notes not long since of Count Po lignac to Mr. Canning, on the South American question, together with the squadron nick-named the " Evolution Squadron" in the Mediterranean, almost convince us that the French, notwithsand- . ing all that they have asserted to the con trary, are bent on seeing if they cannot get hold of a large slice of South America. It is by no means improbable but that Louis may try to purchase some large tracts from Ferdinand.— Now, suppose he did, would England attempt to prevent. Louis taking possession of such purchased territories ? But then Louis might say, if I purchase, I open the door to England to do the same thing—and so he would. Now, in this state of things, Ferdinand being much in want of money,could not our Government make a bargain with him to give him so much for certain districts ; we could then send a few men and ships to. take possession nominally, and stipulate with the South Americans for certain commer cial advantages, for making over to them, in our turn, their independence; Question —According to the Law of Nation', could one State sell part of its dominions to another State ? But would the pride which possesses the old Spaniards allow of England purchasing any part of Ferdinand's India ? Dim TIMES] There was little beyond the ordinary business transacted yesterday in the British Funds, but the prices at the close of the business were rather lower : Consols, which opened at 931, closed at 9i, and for the October Account 94. Reports of an unfavourable tendency towards the various descriptions of South American Securities con tinue to be circulated in VllllOll3 forms. Yester day it was asserted that General Bravo had de clared himself in favour of Iturbide, and that two other Generals bad taken a nearly similar • step. Little dependence is to be placed on these rumours, the accounts received yesterday from various parts of South America being generally of an unimportant description. Nevertheless the Loan of Colombia fell yesterday from 5-1 to 7f discount; and Mexican Bonds more than one per cent. ; B razil B razilian Scrip 1 per cent. discount ; and Spanish Bonds were about one half per cent. lower. In the other Stocks little alteration took place. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The unfortunate turn which the expedition of Bolivar has taken, is deeply to he regretted by all who wish well to the prosperity and hide pendence of South America. Whatever tends to diminish his influence in Colombia, in which, as in all new States, so much must depend on the character of those who are at the helm of affairs, is an evil of no ordinary magnitude; and we fear that the failure of his designs on Peru could hardly fail, to be attended with loss of influence in his own country. The irnmediate effects of the superiority of the Royalists' on the coast of the Pacific have not been injurious to our coun trymen, as far - us commerce is • concerned. We had yesterday the opportunity of perusing a letter from Val pa ruiio, written by an English man of considerable mercantile experience on the shores of the Pacific, who states that the opening' for the sale of goods by the entry of the Royalists into Lima, together with the security and good regulations established by them in fa vour of foreign trade, had taken away all the superabundant cargoes from Chili, and it was expected this new market would prove advanta geous to speculators, who otherwise would have been a long time unable to turn their adventures to account. The sane letter adds, that the in habitants of Peru were so completely tired of the anarchy and confusion which have so long prevailed, to the great detriment of agriculture and commerce, that they wore determined to support the local chiefs, and resist the. inter ference of any power not originating with them. selves. • We mentioned the other day that we had seen letters from HogOta and Caracas, bitterly com plaining of the Government draining the country of both men and money in order to prosecute a distant and dubious war in Peru. By the last ar rival of Caracas Papers, reaching to June 30, we now find that this has become a subject of discus sion In the public papers, on grounds infinitely stronger than those alluded to in the letters to which we had referred, as will be seen by the following extract : " A letter from Laguira to the Editors of The American, says, General Escalona has been appointed Intendant of this province in lieu of the Marquis Del roro. Twenty thousand men will march from this place and Caraccas in a few days for Puerto Cavellt_i_, where they will be embarked for Chagres, to hjoin General Bolivar, in Peru.—(A goo d d ea l o f op p osition, owever, was felt by some o f t h e i nha b itants, at the course adopted by the Government in sending an army Into Peru to assist the Patriots; and even the Editor of the Colombian° questions the rigid of ordering t h e i r so ldi ers out on a fore i gn campaign.r " By the Jamaica packet a letter line been re ceived from Carthagena on the same subject, in 'veighing bitterly against the folly of leaving the Atlantic coasts defenceless, for the purpose of sending men across the Isthmus of Panama, ex posed to the greatest hardships, and liable to be cut off by the worst of all climates. The same letter adds, that the greatest indignation prevnii ed among the reflecting part of the community, both in Bogota and every other part of the coun try, al the improvident plans pursued by the Go vernment hi expending funds obtained from the British public for the avowed purpose of paying the few remaining creditors of the Republic, and calling forth its resources on hazardous enter prizes, productive of sacrifices and consequent w ea kness.—(lbid.) [nityrtsit va ess.l We have inserted in another column the official return of the number of quarters and average price of oats sold in the maritime counties during the last week, included within the period by which the opening of the poits were regulated. From this document may at once be seen how mischievously the system of averages operates on the morals and welfare of the country. No man can look at the returns for a moment without perceiving the race in dishonesty which has been run between the speculators in Mark-lane and the dealers at the outports. That there has been fraud practised by some of these parties there can be nti ;!oubt. It is impossible, or at least in the hiOekdegree improbable, that 27,543 quar ters can'hive been sold bona fide in London, at an average price of 30s. 4d. per quarter, while 3,223 quarters were sold bona fide in Lincoln. r )hire at only 225. sd. per quarter. We are glad to observe, that the propriety of substituting a fixed duty for the delusive system of averages is ' generally recognized. Those who are opposed to the pi inciple of the corn-laws admit, that the inconveniences and evils of the present system by far exceed any that could result from the steady operation of a fixed duty on foreign corn. We abstain from going into the general dis cussion of the expediency of protecting the home-grower from the unburthened influx of grain from abroad. In our view, this hardly seems a legitimate occasion for the inquiry. Not that we would be understood for an instant to deny the right to discuss any question of public policy, when it fairly presents itself, or is fairly selected. If any class of our countrymen imagine, that their interests suffer from the corn laws, they have an undoubted right to bring the subject forward for the considera tion of the public. But, we should have but an indifferent opinion of the moral con struction of that man who would avail himself of such an opportunity as the present to thwart and hamper the Government in putting an end to what all must allow to be a crying and into lerable evil. We are, therefore, not desirous of unnecessarily hazarding the consequences that may follow a discussion, so liable, as expe rience teaches us, to be misconstrued by the unreflecting and suspicious multitude. The prin ciple of the corn-lawg is sanctioned by Parlia ment, and, we believe, the general judgment of the nation. The mode of reducing that principle to practical effect, is all that we have now under consideration ; and surely, when the circum stances attending the present admission of foreign oats into our domestic market are considered, we are certain they will satisfy every well-wisher to his country, that the fraudulent system of averages should be forthwith discontinued. ASSIZE INTELLIG'ENCE. GUILDFORD, MONDAY, Ave. 23. CROWN SIDI:. _ - - Elizabeth Holland was indicted for feloniously stealing a gold band, a gilt clasp, and several other articles, the property of Captain Enos South. Ama Smith,that they were proprietors of a house It appeared from the evidence of Captain Smith and his lady,irs Jemi at Richmond, whi c h they let about four years since to Lady Jane Mont g o mer y ; an d Mrs. Smith locked up in a particular room a qua n tity of wearing.apparel of one hund re d an d fifty pounds. s and trinkets to the value he house was subsequently let to a Mr. F u lt on , i n w h o se family the prisoner was a maid servant, and on the term of two years being expired, the house came back into the possession of Mr. Smith. It was then found that the room where the property had been, was broken open, and all of it taken away. Suspicion immediately fell upon the prisoner, who had been left in care of the house for a short time by M r . F u l ton , a nd on searching h e r trunk a p a rt of the prop er ty, cons i st i ng o f l ace , lace-veils, and silk dresses, was found, and pawnbrokers' duplicates for several other articles. • These were produced, and identified by Mr. Smith. The evidence was strengthened by the testimony of a maid ser vant, who had BOW one of the, silk dresses on the prisoner, and who remarked that it did not fit her well. The prisoner said in her defence that the lace was the legacy Of an aunt, and that several other articles were given her in families where she had lived as servant. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and sentence of seven years' transportation was instantly' passed. Elizabeth Spong was indicted for stealing six sovereigns, the property of Moses Jacob. It appeared that the prosecutor had been in the habit of sleeping at en inn at lValton-upon. Thames ; and being always accustomed to sleep in a portico. lar room, went on the night in question to it, but found it lock ed, and havini.; knocked violently discovered that it was in the possession of the prisoner. lie then retired to another apart ment, and having gone to rest, was awo k e about two in the morning, by the prisoner coming into his room, and somehow or other his six sovereigns were missing next morning. This was the case of Mr. Jacob, whose evid ence was g i ven in a care less mulling manner, which called forth the notice of the Court more than once. The prisoner did not retain Counsel, hut it was insinuated terms, which b o th d en i e d ; that the proseeut or an d t h e prisoner had been on very good Mr. Jacobs with having made the attempt, but the prisoner roundly charged room. and broke into her The following is a sketch of the examination : Pritioner—How came you, Mr. Jacobs, to sneak into my room ? Mr. Jacobs—No, T did not; I opened the latch, and the staple Caine out of itself. Prisoner—You know you broke into it violently. Mr. Jacobs.-011 no, by no means, I was very temperate. By the CounT.—Will you swear you were not going in for an Impropti purpose ? Mr. Jacobs. --On my oath I was not. Prisoner.—You know, Mr. Jacobs, it is not the first time you have been after me. Mr. Jacobs—Never, indeed ; Oh, no. Prisoner.. You did, Mr. .Tacobs ; you came with a bad in tent, and said you came through your sister's room. By the Couirr.— Did you speak to her, when you went to her room ? Mr. Jacobs.--.No, I went to the room because I had often slept there. Prisoner.—Look in my face as I look at you, and say so. Mr. Jacob.—l had no connexion with you whatroinever. The constable said the prisoner always told the same story, and produced the staple, which was evidently wrenched by force from the door. Mr. LAW, who was retained for the prosecution, said, " This is a case I can carry no farther," and threw down his brief; and the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, in stantly acquitted the prisoner. cr~Yr. SIDE. Before Mr. Baron GRAHAM. • RICK! V. COTSWORTH. This was an action on the case against the defendant for the negligence of his servants in leaving a hole open in the public highway, in the .Borough-read, whereby the plaintiff fell in, and was greatly injured. The plaintiff was a publican , living in Blackfriars-road, and the defendant a master,bricklayer, employed by the Commissioners of Sewers for Surrey in repair. ing the sewers in St. George's-fields. In the evening of the 9th of January last, the plaintiff, who is a lusty man, was re turning home in a gig with a friend named Wilson ; and on going through the Borough-road, near the Obelisk in St. George's-fields, where the main sewer had been opened, for the purpose of being repaired, he fell into the bole, and his friend and horse after him, leaving the gig on th e bank. lie was h urt cons i derably In the fall : a gash of se- Veral inches in length was :nada n the scalp o f his head, and he was taken up in a awe olinsensi ibili ty. His chest was also injured, and for four weeks he was confined tb his bed, in consequence of the injuries he received, from the effects of which lie was stated not to have yet recovered. No l ess than seven witnesses, incl u ding Mr. Wilson, deposed solemnly that . irt the place where the plaintiff fell into the sewer there was no railing or other protection against accidents. At each end of the excavation, and on the opposite side, scafibiding poles had been placed, but the spot In question was wholly un protected. A lantern which alliwtled but a dim light had been placed at one corner of the excavation. The gas-lights at th e Obelisk gave a considerable light : but not sufficient to enable a traveller to avoid the danger which happened to the plaintiff. Mr. Wilson swore positively that the plaintiffand himself were perfectly sober,. although they had partaken of threaglaaties of brandy and water that e v en i ng w i t h a pUbIiVON, a friend of the plaintiff. After seeing his friend home, he returned to the spot, and beard a man - named linghes the foreman of the wo r k s , say to Sullivan, a watchman, In die employment of the defend. ant, " I can't be everywhere, your b—d ; why not have the lights up ?" After the accident, precautions were taken to prevent farther mischief, by putting up a ra il at t h e s p ot , and stationing a watchman with a light to warn the unwary pas senger. These were the principal circum s t a n ces p rove d in sup -1 port of the plaintiff's case on behalf of whom considerable damages were claimed at the hands of the Jury. Samuel Hughes, Daniel Sullivan, Jn. Garvey, John Mahony, Jn. Mounsey, servants employed under the defendant, and Joseph Shergold, and Henry Ruttier, patroles employed by the trustees of the New Surrey-road, were then called; and they severally proved, that on the night in question, th e excava ti on w h ere t h e accident happened had been railed in on all sides, so as to pre vent accidents, and that at the side where the plaintiff fell into the sever, a mound of earth, four feet high at least, had been thrown up, at the top of which was a long scaffolding pole, fas tened at one end to a cross-bar at the east end of the excava tion, and the other stuck into the earth so as to prevent acci dents. It was sworn by several of these witnesses that Mr. Wilson was drunk; that before the accident happened, the gig was going at a furious rate; that the plaintiff' and his compa nion were loudly called to, before they approached the sewer, but instead of stopping, the, horse was flogged, and that the accident happened in consequence of the horse being driven over the bank, which prevented the gi g f rom being also dragged into the hole. The witness Hughes denied that he reproached Sullivan for not having lights up. In the opinio n o f a ll t h e witnesses, the accident happened from the negligent driving of the plaintiff, and that it could not have occurred if he was driving with ordinary care. Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the evidence for the Jury, and left them to determine to what cause the accident was attri butable. The Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 121 NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Auo. 21. CRIMINAL SIDE. We cannot give a stronger proof of the unimportant nature of the criminal cases for this county than by stating that Mr. Ba ron llta.Locx dispatched the whole of them in the course of three hours this morning. John Cleugh, a little boy not more than 11 years old, was con. victed of having feloniou s ly s t o l en an d carried away a silver ' watch of the value of 205., a brass watch-chain of the value of nd., and a watch-key of the value of Id., the property of William Heron. It appeared that this young delinqu en t had entered the dwelling•house of the prosecutor by the win dow, and had in that manner made himself master of the pro perty mentioned in the indictment. He confessed to the officer who took him into custody, that after he had taken possession of the watch, he was seized with a qualm of conscience, which had impelled him to return to the prosecutor's house on the next evening, and to put the watch under his door. It was afterwards found there by some member of the prosecutor's family. The young varlet was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment, and to be well whipped during the first and last weeks of that time. CIVIL SIDE.-'-7131fore Mr. Justice BAYLEY. DALGLEIBII v. LESTE.—Mr. JONES stated that this was an action brought by the plaintiff', an auctioneer, at Shields, for the recovery of the sum of 111. lOs. fid. The defendant was a seaman, but his wife kept a furniture broker's shop at Shields, in the ordinary traffic of which she purchased from the plain tiff articles to the above amount. It appeared that on the 19th of June last year, the plaintiff presided at a sale of articles, partly his own property, and partly that of two men named Lyall and Adamson, at which sale the defendant's wife at ' tended, and became a purchaser as already described. It up. peered, however, that the lady, though ready to purchase, was loth to pay, and when c a lled u p on to d o so , roundly refused,i alleging that she was well advised, inasmuch as she not only had the opinion of, but was actually indemnified by Mr. Law yer Lowrie, who had himself a claim upon the said goods and chattels, and who, being a man wise and learned in the law, could not, of course, err upon so plain a point as the present ; she therefore refused either to restore the property, or to pay for it. In consequence of this refusal an action had been brought in the County Court, b u t it was remove d by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, and now came under the con sideration of an upright and respectable Jury, who, he trusted, would teach Mr. Lawyer Lowrie, under whose guidance and direction he supposed this poor woman to have acted, that it' he had any claim upon the property, he had not token the pro per course, either to substantiate it or to get it satisfied. Several witnesses were called, who proved the sale and deli very of the goods, a part of which was taken front ',yell's house late at night. A difficulty arose about proving the mar riage of Mrs, leste with the defendant, but it was at l engt h proved by no less a personage than Mr. Lowrie himself. 'Phis witness also stated the nature of his claim against Mr. Lyall, an execution against whom he had issued on the morning of the sale. Ile had also put into the hands of She riff's officer, a warrant of sale of the goods of the said Lyall.-.... He A e had after thi s he ar d o f the removal of the goods, a nd th e intended sale at the plaintiff's auction-room. Appleby, a She- Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury on behalf of the defend. ant, and contended that the plaintiff, or rather the nominal plaintiff in this action (for Lyall was the real one), had no right to recover, inasmuch as the officer had only acted under the power of the Act of Parliament, in following Lyuil's goods, which were attempted to be withdrawn front an execution re gularly issued against them by Mr. Lowrie. The Learned Gentleman called several witnesses, amongst whom was the ' sheriff 's officer, who deposed to having heard the present plaintiff express his regret at having allowed Lyall to remove Its goods to his sale-rooms. The plaintiff also told the officer that the goods had been removed by Lyall in order to avoid Mr. Lowric'e execution, and observed, how hard it was that Mr. Lowrie should lose his money by such a contrivance. A person named Lindsay deposed to the proceedings in the County Court, in the case of Lowrie and Lyall, and to the issuing of the execution on the lJth of June. The damages were assessed at 23/.--Costs, !H. Is. Bd. Other witnesses deposed to having traced Lyall's goods, a part to Dalgleish's, and a part to the defendant's in both of which places they were seized- by proper authority.—:t witness named Leslie deposed to a conversation with the plaintiff si milar to that described by the Sheriff's officer, in which he ex pressed his regret at having allowed himself to meddle with furniture.--A witness was called to prove a tender of 4s. (hl. to plaintiff, in payment for two or three trifling articles purchased by defendant at the sale, and alleged not to have been Lyall's property ; but site had no recollection of the facts.

Josas replied in an ingenious and forcible speech, in which he pointed out the extreme inalirobability of the story set up on the part of the defendant. Was it, he asked, at all likely that a gentleman like the plaintiff; a respectable auc tioneer would for a moment, a nd th at too w i t h out any earthly motive, himself to the fraud alleged to have heen attempted by Mr. L.? It was monstrous to entertain for a moment any such impression. If they believe the Sheriff's officer, they must at once stamp the plaintiff; not only as a rogue, hut also one of the greatest fools that ever lived, for what else but the grossest folly could induce such a gratuitous confession as that alleged to have been made by him to that officer. The Learned Oen tleman went on to argue upon the improbability of the evidence for the defence, and in conclusion called upon the Jury to re probate by their verdict the attempt made to deprive the plain tiff; not only of his property but of his character also. He had a right to expect, a nd he trusted lie should rece i ve at t h e i r hands a verdict to the full extent of his client's demand. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, in summing up the evidence, observ ed, that the plaintiff' was certainly entitled to s verdict for 4s. sd. ; but whether, under all the circumstances of the case, he was entitled to more, was matter entirely for the c o n sid ers . Lion of the Jury. His Lordship then went over the evidence, and in conclusion observed, that if they thought the sale an bonest one, then they must give a verdict for the plaintiff to the whole amount of his claim ; but if they should be of 'Opi. nion that the whole was only a tnanceuvre to defeat Mr. Lowrie's action, then the plaintifl'would only b e ent i t l e d to a verdict of 4s. 6d.
