CORN EXCHANGE. ~~---.~ (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane,) About an average time of year's supply of English wheat —2,120 quarters—has been received up to our market this week, coastwise ; but the arrivals fresh up to-day by land carriage were small. Although the show of maniples was but moderate, the trade ruled heavy, and most kinds were offered on rather lower terms. IN n T. C. KERR. This was a certificate meeting. The bankrupt resided at 3, Hans-place, Chelsea, and carried on business as a railway and mining share dealer,.at 3, Auction Mart, Bartholomew-lane. Over 10,000 quarters of wheat have come to hand. The trade was in a depressed state, and the quota tions we re nom i na ll y th e same as on Monday. In floating cargoes very few transactions were reported. There was a moderate inquiry for barley at late rates, but malt ruled heavy. The imports of foreign oats having been heavy, the oat trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour as on Monday. The balance-sheet extended from the Ist of January 1854, to the Bth of February 1855. Creditors unsecured 3,2801. 15s. ; creditors holding security, 77,237/.'lss. sd. ; liability in the event of his succeeding to the title of the estates of the adtedom of Roxburgh, 73,6001. ; profits, 447/. 16s. ; doubtful debts, 58,335/. ; bad, 9,2121. 7s. 6d. ; credit was taken for the Roxburgh property as above ; property in the hands of creditors, 5,1251. 18s. 6d. ; losses, 7,832/. 6s; Mr. Sturgeon appeared for the bankrupt, and sub mitted be was entitled to a second class certificate. The large debt of 73,0001. arose from a bond' given by the bankrupt just as he came of le to save his father. His Honour granted a certificate of the third class. gnglish .. Irish .... Foreign ..

To-day's market waS rather extensively supplied with beasts in very middling condition. All kinds moved off slowly, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday of 2d per 8 lbs. Prime Down sheep were scarce, and in re quest at full quotations. Half-breds sold steadily, but no improvement took place in their value. We were well supplied with lambs, and the trade for them ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. The supply of calves was ex tensive, and the veal trade ruled slow, at late currencies. In pigs very little was doing. Milch cows were steady, at from 14/. to 20/. each, in chiding their small calf. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - (THIS DAY. MANSION-HOUSE. Tug LATE ALLEGED CASE Or DRUGGING. —Edward Rome, on rem and, was again placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor, charged on suspicion of having administered a drug to a female, and With afterwards taking impro per liberties with her in a cab. Mr. Lewis appeared for the prisoner. The Lord Mayor said that he bad well considered this case, and finding so many discrepancies in the evidence, he could scarcely believe there was any truth in the principal part of the charge.. The woman had not been injured ; but had there been any evidence of the pri soner's having used a drug, he might have committed him for trial for intent, &c. Such a charge as this ought clearly to be made out. The prosecutrix was asked if she had any further evi dence to give; and she replied no. The Lord Mayor said the complainant and the pri soner being both drunk at the time, the cab. man was entitled to two days' work for his attendance at the court, and ordered him to be paid. There was this in favour of the prisoner that he did not make his escape by one of the numererous courts in the neigh bourhood where the complainant was found, but ap peared desirous of taking care of her, and having her takes to her home. Had the female received any. injury he was almost inclined to think it would have served her right. There was plenty of time from 9 o'clock tiil 12 o'clock for both of them to get drunk, as be believed they were.

GUILDHALL. EMBEZZLEMENT.—An elderly man, named Thomas Ings, was charged before Sir Chapman Marshall with embezzlement. The prisoner was employed by Mr. Waghorn, butcher, to collect his accounts, but, having some suipicion that be was not acting right, he made inquiries, and found be had received certain sums of money which he had not accounted for. He had also obtained money from the prosecutor to take out county court summonses against some of his creditors, but, in. stead of doing so, appropriated the money to his own Fccount. Some legal difficulties arising as to the charge, the prisoner was. discharged on his own recognizance' till Wednesday, to allow the oppor tunity of repaying the money. A poor woman who was in court also complained of the prisoner having treated her in a similar manner. • Sir C. Marshall said he was afraid the prisoner was a very bad man. ROBBERY.—George TVilson was charged with stealing about 40 yards of silk, value 3/. 35., the property of Messrs. Ellis, Eveningham, and Co., silk and shawl dealers, Ludgate-hill. Mr. Humphreys appeared for the proseauti3n. It appeared the prisoner was seen yesterday afternoon to take the silk from a counter inside the warehouse door, put it under his coat, and run off. H e was followed by one of the assistants, who called after him, and saw him drop the silk in Dean court. Instead of stopping to pink up the silk he continued his pursuit, and caught him at the bottom of St. Andrew-lane. He collared him, brought him back to the warehouse, and gave him in charge of police constable 378. The silk was picked up by a porter in the employ of Mr. Smith, wine-merchant. The prisoner, who said he did it for want, was com mitted. BOWSTREET. THE LATE ROBBERY OF WATCHES IN THE STRAND.— Joseph. Levy, the person charged with being in posses sion of a watch, forming part of the property of Mr. Milleret, a watchmaker, a native of Geneva, was this afternoon again placed at the bar. It will be recollected that the lodgings of Mr. Milleret, No. 1, Cecil-street, had been 'robbed of property to the amount of 3001., and that the prisoner was taken into custody while attempting to pawn a watch, which formed part - of the stolen property, at a shop in Ryder's court. The particulars of this case have already appeared in 7lte Sun. The only evidence offered this morning was the fol lowing : Paul Milleret, residing at S mthampton, stated ho attended to his father's business in this country. He sends watches from Geneva to him to sell. Last Mon day week, a case of watches was consigned to him from Geneva, he paid the duty himself at the Custom-house, and brought them away. There were 33 gold and 3 silver watches in the case. The value of the whole be estimated at 300/. On receiving the watches at the Custom-house he took them to his lodgings in Cecil street, and there gave them to his father who put them in a trunk and locked them up. This occurred about half-past five o'clock, and the property was then safe, and on arrival of himself and father from a walk, at about 9 o'clock they found the place bad been broken open and all the watches, a gold chain, and a purse con taining five or six gold Napoleons stolen. The watch produced formed a portion of the property in the trunk. He could swear to the watch, it was numbered 12,510. Inspector Mackenzie stated that Benjamin, the party to whom the prisoner bad referred to on the last exami nation had absconded, but he thought that if he bad time he could find him. He bad made inquiries and found that the prisoner was a German tailor, but that he had been lately, for about six weeks, selling f'sreign articles on commission for a person in Little Newport street, who gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Jos. Holman, an importer of foreign goods, 23, Little Newport-street, said he had resided there about a year. The prisoner had been employed by him to sell goOds, and he thought he was an honest man. He had intrusted him with property to the amount of upwards of thirty or forty pounds. In answer to the observations of Mr. Henry, the pri soner said that on Sunday week he, at the direction of his wife, who bad then been but lately confined, went to invite his brother in-law, Mr. M. Benjamin, to dinner, and while there he (Benjamin) said to him—" You sell goods on commission, see if you can sell this watch. I'll not take less than 4/. for it, but all over that sum you may have for yourself." Until that day he had not se‘n his brother-in-law for a twelvemonth. Mr. Henry—lt is very important that we should have this Mr. Benjamin. Can't you find him ? Prisoner—l don't know where to find him. I don't know where to get him. The deposition of the pawnbroker's assistant was here read, in which it was stated that the prisoner said he bought the watch. The prisoner said he made that statement, because he did not choose to satisfy the man in the shop where he got the watch from. Mr. Henry—Any person looking at the watch would know it was worth double 4/. Prisoner—My brother-in-law gave it me wrapped in a piece of paper, and I did not look at it. Mr. Henry (to Inspector Mackenzie)--Wh o and what is this brother-in-law he talks of ? Do you know any thing of hint Inspector Mackenzie stated, that for three years Ben jamin had kept a brothel, and was a receiver of stolen. goods. Mr. Henry—You must have known the sort of per. son your brother•in•law was. The Prisoner said he really did not. H e had been absent from England for some time. He had been to California and other places, and had not.seen him for a very long time. Mr. Henry—Well, I will allow you all the facilities I can to find this brother-in-law. I will not at present commit you for trial but again remand you. Prisoner—Will your Worship admit me to bail Mr. Henry—The account you give of yourself is not altogether satisfactory—but under the circumstances I will take two responsible housekeepers in the sum of 1001. each as bail for your appearance this day week. You must give the police the usual notice in order that they may make inquiries into the solvency of the per: sons.

That the Pope is infallible in matters of doctrine we have long since learnt, but that this infallibi lity extends in any degree to either the matter or manner of his "allocutions" we are disposed utterly to deny. A wordy and rambling style, a loose and incorrect manner of speaking, and, worse than all, a pompous affectation of superior dignity and sanc tity, are the leading characteristics of these long and lugubrious orations. We know not whose faith they confirm, whose reason they convince, or whose passions they inflame; to us they appear wearisome in the extreme, and better calculated to provoke sleep than to extort obedience. The Go vernment of Sardinia has lately learnt from this unexceptionable quarter that it is guilty of ini quity, and that the Pope on a former occasion hoped that the Bishops would have persuaded them to do better things, and that th ey would de sist from persecuting the Church, and hasten to repair the mischief they had done. Let not, how ever, Sardinia presume to carry matt ers too far. The Pope, to use a vulgar idiom, far too expressive for a Pope, "will not stand it;" he is naturally mild, but his predecessors have never shrunk from using necessary severity. There is no other hope of bringing things round to a right state, and so let the unregenerate and rebellious children of the Church look to it, for evil is before them. The Pope once more raises his apostolic voice to re prove, to condemn, to declare null and void the laws of Piedmont, and to denounce the greater ex communication upon all those who have dared to approve, to propose, or sanction these laws ; and he concludes, as the Church of Rome has ever been wont to do, with a solemn prayer for the kingdom whose laws he assumes to abrogate, and the persons whose souls he believes he is consigning to eternal perdition. The Pope next proc ee d s to treat of the affairs of Spain, and recites with much minuteness a treaty concluded in 1851, in which he had pro vided that the Catholic religion should alone be tolerated, that bishops should be obeyed in all things, and that the right of the Church to extend her possessions—through the medium, we sup pose of the last wills and testaments of her re pentant children—should not be interfered with ' • and the Pope tells us, with much simplicity and good faith, that he flattered himself he had made rather a good thing than otherwise of this same convention, especially when he considered the attachme n t o f the Spanish nation to the Ca tholic faith and the chair of St. Peter. Judge, then, of his disgust, w h en h e fi n d s th a t h ere a l so he has been deceived, that outrages have been committed, that Church property is to be sold, and the jurisdiction of the Church in many ways interfered with. The Pope protests that ho will forbid the faithful from taking part in such sales, that he will make a flaw in the title of all church lauds sold already under his consent, and he ad monishes all persons concerned in those matters to repent and sin no more. This is a pretty picture drawn by the hand o the Supreme Pontiff himself of the way in which he is disposing of the inheritance bequeathed by St. Peter to his successors. Devout Piedmont is lost—devouter Spain is following close upon her footsteps, and, although measures of the most ex treme severity are resorted to, they seem to be ut terly void, and have no effect. We say measures of the most extreme severity, for there is no weapon which can be drawn from the medimval armoury of the Popes which is not brought into requisition for the purpose of demolishirr , the contumacious enemies of the Church. It is of' no use to preach a crusade against the enemies of the Church, for in these dark days of mawkish Liberalism there is no Simon de Montfort or Duke de Guise to execute her justice by the lance or the poniard ; and France, which still shows some regard for the chair of St. Peter, employs her troops in maintaining the tottering authority of the Pope's crazy throne, and rescues him from the vengeance which he would fain wreak on his disobedient vassals. The Pope dare not preach a crusade, but what he dares do he does heartily. He will - not tolerate that the Go vernments of Spain and Sardinia should exercise that right of regulating their affairs which is in herent in the Government of every free nation. Tim Pope goes a step further than he did in his attack on the liberties and independence of this nation. Ho contented himself with ignoring our laws ; the laws of Sardinia and Spain he professes utterly to make void and set aside. If this claim be allowed, no law whatever is valid which has not received the previous sanction of the Pope, and any law, however valid, from which that sanction is ultimately withdrawn becomes worthless. The tem poral is swallowed up in the spiritual part of his power, and he broadly proposes to these delinquent nations to submit to this invasion of their rights, or to take the Government of the country into their own hands and replace the Church of Rome in the dominion she has lost. Wrap this up in what language you will, it really a m oun t s t o an invitation to the subjects of these Princes to cast off their allegiance, to expel them from the thr one , and to set up in their stead some one having a duller sense of national honour, and a fainter idea of that independence of foreign interference which is the natural right of every member of the great European confederacy. And these exhortations to rebellion, these proud pretensions to annihilate laws solemnly passed by the national councils of two independent nations, emanate from a petty Italian Prince, who, while he assumes to regulate the internal polity of other States, is so little' master of his own that, like the tyrants of ancient Greece, he dare not put arms in the hands of his own people, but supports himself partly by the aid of foreign mercenaries, partly by the troops of a Power which finds a convenience in prolonging his rickety existence. The extremities of insolence and weakness, o abject dependence and insolent aggression, were never better or more forcibly displayed than by the present Pope. Here is a man who cannot keep up even the semblance of personal indepen dence, the suburbs of whose capital are infested with banditti, whose finances are hopelessly disor dered, and whose life, if left to the affection of his own subjects, would not be worth half an hour's purchase, regulating from between the bars of his prison the affairs of foreign countries, stirring up discord, provoking revolution, denouncinc, threat ening, anathematising, nullifying, as if the world were at his feet, and he were the only arbiter and controller, of the destinies of Europe ? Truly we may ask, how long shall this man be a snare to us ? —how long is Europe to tolerate this miserable counterfeit of mediaeval priestcraft, founded upon mediaeval superstition ?—this attempt to import into modern times that power against which the intellect of man rose up in successful rebellion three centuries ago ? Are we always to have a revolutionary power ready, if its demands be com plied with, to lend its aid to tyranny in kings, and if they be refused, to raise up their subjects in mutiny against them ? It behoves those who be lieve that the Papacy is a conservative institution well to consider these things ; and we apprehend, if they do so, they will not fail to arrive at the con clusion that, whatever be its spiritual merits, as a temporal institution, the Papacy is au evil unmiti gated by any countervailing advantage. ( From the Daily News of this day.) There is more than at once strikes the eye in Sir De Lacy Evans's speech on Tuesday last. The hon. and gallant member must have felt strongly the importance of his subject, and also have been most anxious to publish to the country his views on the conduct of the war, or he would never have selected the last half-hour of the last day of the ses sion to deliver those opinions which are founded upon professional experience extending over nearly half a century, as well as upon the latest experience in the Crimea. On all topics connected with mili tary affairs no man in the House of Commons is heard with so much attention as the veteran who re presents Westminster, and out of doors his knowledge and gallantry always carry with them that weight and respect which these qualities ever command amongst Englishmen. The occasion and the oppor tunity for his speech were so appropriate that i they could hardly have been accidental, and accord ingly we find that both in this country and France the last warning from Parliament to the Ministry, and the reply of the Premier, have formed the prin cipal subject of discussion since the p rorog ation. Sir De Lacy contrasts unfavourably the mese • uree now taking to prosecute the war against Rutsa, our with t those employed when we were pitted ag ain st present Allies in the Peninsula. We bad, be h„con tends, no less than 80,000 men in the fiel d w Wellington was fighting against the l i eu tenants of Con tingent of Napoleon, besides a Portug o u 40,000 more, the latter being t by English nuinber officered which could be reckoned under our banner s oAt one men. Nor was this the highes t period—that is ous and prolonged str b u 1 during that moment egfgore the English army re turnedto say, for two yearsofewer than 120,000 efficient Bri tishooo of the Portuguese Contingent sentofto-y soldiers h o m various parts of Spain. NV were under arms in compared with the latest hen in the home—no these figures are deficiency p,e enemy cannot for a moment be denied. Even Lord Palmerston a s d e e at to of c l o r Ze t r he our did not attempt to refute what the gallant General frome if efforts t s then i asserted, but tried to extenuate the shortcomings of himself, his colleagues, and the Aberdeen Minis try, by declaring that, although we might be be hind hand in the number of men sent out to the Crimea as compared with those despatched to Spain during the last years of the war, -the forces now employed were as numerous as those of the- Government of that day at the commencement of )ICitilitielis In a GeXtl i iti miss this is true ; but al though his Lordship acknowledged that the popus lation of England was much greater now than from 1812 to 1814—and also allowed that the number of effective soldiers at ourcommand ought to be propor tionably more numerous now—he quite forgot that the means of transporting men from England to the seat of war have become much more easy, quick, and certain than they were when the century was but a dozen years old. If the number of men sent to the Crimea since hostilities first broke out wilt bear comparison with those despatched during the first years of the Peninsular war, the ships and the shipping—both in quantity and quality—at the command of Government whilst that war lasted, must not be mentioned in the same day with the splendid steam-vessels which are now to be had in any number and at the shortest notice. Those who are old enough to remember the wretched tubs which used to be chartered for the conveyance of troops in the times we speak of and the painfully de liberate manner in which all the arrangements con nected with the embarkation of soldiers were then effected—to say nothing of the delights of being mind bound for weeks in the Channel, and the ultimate risk all ships ran of being taken by French frigates or privateers—must allow that the facilities of trans port are a thousand times greater than they W ere then, and that for one soldier despatched forty odd years ago to Portugal or Spain, twenty ought now to be sent to the Qrimea. We have now steamers in abundance instead of a few indifferent sailing vessels, and as we are now mas t ers o f th e sea , and our enemy of to-day has not a ship outside hlB own ports, the advantages which we have over those who had to prosecute a like contest at any former period are indeed great. Sebastopol is to-day vir tually much nearer England than Gibraltar was in 1813. Lord Palmerston but half states the truth of the case. The question is not altogether whether we are doing as much, or less, or more, than we did during the last war, but whether we are doing as much in proportion to the improved means now at our disposal, owing to the great advancement* made in every science since the peace of 1816 ; and to this inquiry there can be but one reply. Other portions of Sir De Lacy Evans's observations show, in plain figures, that hitherto we have not in other respects done all that we might towards prose cuting the war with vigour. We have in India an army of 280,000 native, and 40,000 Europea n , troops. Of these, although that country is through out profoundly tranquil, we have made no use whatever in the Crimea, beyond bringing over two regiments of English dragoons, via the Red Sea and Egypt, to Balaklava. Surely of so large a force, now idling away their time in Eastern can tonments, some few thousands might be spared for service against Russia ? If it is absolutely neces 'sa'ry to maintain a numerically strong body of Europeans in Hindostan, why not send our sea soned regiments from that country to the seat of War and supply their place by corps of younger Soldiers from England ? The overland route to India is now practically open for troops as well as passengers, and since the mail service between Suez and Bombay was undertaken by a private company, the East India Government have a large sleet of magnificent steamers lying idle at the latter port. The transporrnfa — dOzen young regi ments from England to India, and the conveyance of an equal number of veteran corps from India to the Crimea, might be effected in very few weeks. At any rate a large portion of the 40,000 Euro peans now in Indian garrisons might be spared for a season, and sent to join the army under General. Simpson. To take advantage of the only great practical school in which our army has seen service ?or the last forty years, and send its pupils thenca to where they are most required, would be but fol lowing the example set us by the French with iegard to Algiers—an example we cannot too soon But perhaps the most glaring neglect of means at our disposal since the war broke out is, our having made no use of the native troops of India. (;)ver and over again have many of these corps volunteered, and asked to be allowed to take tie field against Russia. With some of the Hin doo soldiers there might be difficulties to over come on the score of religion, it being against tha rules of their " caste " to embark on board ship. But there are in our Native Army many thousand Mahometans, all of whom hate the Czar, as the , mmon enemy of their faith ; rag these,. to a man 'ould deem it a boon and an he De i t tole allowed ,o fight side by side with Euglish, Vrench,Sardinian, and Turkish troops. A short order from the Go vernor-General would place at least 25,000 hardy, energetic, brave, and trained Mussulman soldiers at our disposal in a few hours, and within five weeks of their leaving India they could be with the army before Sebastopol, When to this force we add 10,000 European troops, which could be well spared from India, and some five or six battalions of they line which 'might be relieved from Mauritius, the Cape, Canada, and the West Indies—partly by raising local corps, and partly by a more ex tended employment of our English militia regi ments—it will be found that we have, at the lowest estimate, some 45,000 , trained men in various parts of the world, who might, without the slightest risk to any portion of the empire, be added to the army now in the Crimea. With these plain and incontrovertible facts staring us in the face—and with the full knowledge that, not withstanding the public and patriotic spirit evinced by all ranks of the nation, no encouragement has as yet been given to the militia to volunteer for service before the enemy—is it to be wondered at that the most experienced soldier holding a seat in the Le gislature did at the last hour of the session protest against the time and opportunity that have been lost since we first determined to give Russia battle? Still less can we doubt that the feelings of the na tion are entirely in accord with those of the veteran member, and that during the next few weeks it will watch narrowly how far Lord Palmerston will re deem his oft -repeated pledges about carrying on the war with all earnestness and vigour. FREEDOM OR SLAVERY. Freedom, or Slavery, which will ye have ? Englishmen, Frenchmen, reply ! Crouch to the Despot, or strike for the Brave, , Valiantly cnnquer or die ? Civilisation, Progress, and Art, Liberty, Honour, and Right ; From these, won by Freedom, we never will part, For these we will shout in the fight ! Unsheath the sword, with hand on the heart, Strike home and conquer the foe; Let the Barbarian, the merciless sm ar t, And quail at the terrible blow. Englishmen, Frenchmen, you've nobly begun The Battle for Freedom and Right ; Hand in hand, side by side, till the vict'ry's won And Liberty blesses the sight ! Englishmen, Frenchmen, united at last ! - There is much still to conquer and gain ; Be brothers in future—smile at the past, And Peace, Love, and Order, will reign. The Patriot, the down-trodden Nations rejoice, And hopefully look to the fight; • Englishmen, Frenchmen, which is your choice To be Slaves! or hare Freedom and Right? C. SHEARD. ATTEMPTED MURDER Or A LICENSED VICTUALLER. — Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, consider able excitement was created in the immediate vicinity of the Victoria Theatre, in consequence of a report being raised that Mr. T. Grammer, the landlord] of the Pear • Tree Tavern, had been fatally stabbed by a woman at present unknown. Upon proceeding to the promises the reporter was informed that a woman came to the bar of the house, and after calling for some refreshment, which she was served with, she tendered a sovereign for the barman to take the amount out of. The correct change was banded to her, but instead of her taki n ng it away she attempted to "ring the changes," a d said that she was one or two shillings short.

They made the trip copt. fortably seated in nine vans, and took their departure from the school-house in George-street, St. Giles's, amid the cheers of a large number of their parents and the in. habitants of the neighbourhood. At Willesden they were supplied with a good dinner and tea, and means of amusement and exercise were provided for them in the shape of bats, balls, swings, bows and arrows, donkey. riding, &c. In the afternoon the four curates of the two parishes, and several friends of the school, joined the youthful throng, and helped on the amusements. The expenses of the treat were defrayed by special' contribu• tions, so as to avoid resorting to the funds of . the school ; and, though sufficient funds have not been raised to pay the whole of the expense incurred, the mansgora trust—looking at the beneficial results likely to twin from such a day's treat to children so circumstanced-- that there will be found, from those interested in the wel• fare of the poor, aid sufficient to prevent the deficiency falling upon the teachers of She roboolf , , _ Of 71 96 701 1 101 1 25 1071 12 i St. 1. , 11.1 St. l , 20 st. lii St. 11 St. St. 1 I St. LI 20 I St. 11.1 St. St. St. 1 St. I St. St. St. 111 80i 1
