The drift of all • . show that a simple " yea" or " nay" was all that s w e a r s D to ture required of us to give, and that a solemn affirruat' i " - or negation was equally binding as an oith—that a p l e ° r ll son who would tell a lie would as readily perjure himself —and that eath-taking was one of the most grievous burdens under which a people could labour. One of the speakers stated that he had been in correspondence with the Duke of Argyle upon the subject, and his Grace stated that he had not turned his attention much to the question of oaths, and was not prepared to introduce a rill into Parliament, in regard to it, still if Lord Jus tice Denman should see fit to re-introduce his Bill of 1842, which went the length of not putting the oath to any party who objected to it on religious grounds, he would, in all likelihood, give that proposition his cordial support. Various resolutions were submitted to the meeting, and a petition, founded on the resolutions, was read, with the view of being signed by those of the inha bitants of Edinburgh who approve of the object of the association, and then tto be intrusted to a Member of 2 Parliament for presentation early next session.— Scotsman. ..

PERUVIAN BONDHOLDERS. The long-pending disagreements, difficulties, and dis cussiors, between the hollers of Peruvian Bonds and the Peruvian Government, appear to be now approaching a termination. At a meeting of bondholders, held yes terday at the London Tavern, the Chairman, G. Robin son, Esq., entered into a very full, and, upon the whole, satisfactory statement, of the result of the negotiations which have recently taken place between the Committee of Bondholders and the Peruvian Minister now in this country, and whose conduct in the transaction appeared to meet with a favourable reception. The terms ob tained by the exertions of the committee seemed to be considered, by the meeting, the best that, under all cir cumstances, they could reasonably expect. From the Ist April next, one-half the proceeds arising from the exportation of guano to this country is to be hypo thecate d to the payment of interest on the Bonds ; though the whole revenue of the Republic of Peru still remains responsible for the debt. The divi dends payable on the Active Bonds are to bo gradually increased until they arrive at 6 per cent. per annum ; and these on the Deferred Bonds to be stmilsrly in eriesed until they reach 3 per cent. per annum. The Chairman stated that since he had been in the room, he had received a letter from the Peruvian Minister, to the fleet that he htid made an arrangement with Messrs. Antony Gibbs and Co. for the reception of guano from Peru, half the produce of which is to be paid through those gentlemen, and appropriated to the fulfilment of the agreement conditionally made, so that Messrs. Gibbs end Co. may be considered as in some measure guaran tees for the good faith of the Peruvian Government. There is noefear entertained of the money being ap propriated to any other than its legitimate object, as was the case on a former occasion, in which the house of Reid, Irving and Co., was concerned. The committee were fully satisfied of the ability of the Peruvian Go vernment to perform the contract now agreed upon ; but they were of opinion that no good would result from further delay ; for even if they eventuelly obtained better terms, it would only be by means of a procrasti nated less. The feeling of the meeting evidently went with that of th e comm ittee, who have now the prospe c t of seeing an agreeable conclusion to their labours, which have extended over the long period of three and twenty years. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the recom mendation of the chairman, to agree to the terms pro posed, met with unanimous assent ; with, however, the understanding that the committee will procure better conditions if they can. It may be satisfactory to annex an extract from the letter addressed by Senor Osma, the Peruvian Minister, to the Chairman of the meeting, and to is hich allusion has been already made. The letter states, "I have also the satisfaction of adding, that I have arranged with Messrs. Antony Gibbs and Sons to advance, on the Ist October next, a sum which I calculate will be sully suffi cient for discharging the first half-yearly dividend which I have proposed to the bondholders shah be paid to them et that time." The foregoing arrangement underwent some favour ab!e modifications, at a conference held at the house of the Peruvian Minister, on the 28th of December, and we subjoin a copy of the minutes taken on that occasion:— " 1. In reference to article 1 of M. °ma's proposal to the Committee of Bondholders, dated the 21st inst., it is agreed that the interest on the Active Bonds shall com mence to run from the Ist April, 1849; that the same shall be 4 per cent. for the first year, and shall increase afterwards at the rate of one-half per cent. per annum, until it shall amount to 6 per cent. '•2. In reference to ankle 2, it is agreed that the in terest on the Deferred Bonds shall commence to run from Ist April, 1852; and that it shall be for the first year 1 per cent., and that it shall increase in every suc ceeding year one quarter per cent. pee annum, until it shall amount to 3 per cent. "3. Whatever surplus funds mny be available from the one half of the prodeeds of the guanO, as proposed, shall be applied - to the redemption of the Bonds, in the proportion of three-fourths ACtive Bonds and one-fourth Deterred Bonds. ' (Signed) "J. J. DE OSMA, G. R. ROBINSON," • . •-:, ': J. D. POWLES, H. BLAND." JAS. CAPEL, The following is the substance of the principal resolu tions passed at the meeting:— _. " 1. That the Committee of Spanish-American Bond holders be authorised to conclude, with his Excellency the Peruvian Minister, an agreement for the adjustment of the Peruvian debt on terms not less favourable than those this day submitted to this meeting, it being under stood that the whole resources of the Republic of Peru remain responsible for the said debt. " 2. That on the issue of the Deferred Bonds compre hended in the:said propositions, 2f per cent. thereof shall be placed at the disposal of Spanish-American Bond holders, fur the purpose of defraying the expenses of the Committee, and for the remuneration of the agents of the Committee at Lima. " That the best thanks of this meeting be respectfully offered to the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, for the instructions given to the British Minister in Pern to afford the friendly support of the British Government to the claims of the Bondholders."

Mr. Maher, were at tending thei r c h apels at Clona k enn y a nd C o rr aguneen , two men arm e d with pistols, a nd having their faces dis guised, ente re d the house of the f ormer a t Bo u r ne , pre seated a pistol at the servant girl, Bridget Tracey, the ' only inmate o f t h e house at t h e t i m e, and crdered h er to go on her k nees and hold down h er head. Having im mediately complied with this threatening mandate, one of the fellows stood over her as a sentinel while the other proceeded to Father Scanlan's room, and having ransacked every portion of it, he came to the object of his search, a box which he broke open, and robbed of 141. in silve r , w h ich Father S can l an h a d rece i ve d as part , of his Christmas collection.

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WILLIAM PRICE. This bankrupt formerly carried on business in copartnership with Frederick Mangles and Henry Talbot Moore, in New-Broad-street. They were East India and general merchants. In 1845 the bankrupt withdrew from the concern, having assigned over his interest to the other two partners. He has lately resided in the Strand. This was a meeting for the last examination. Mr. Lawrance supported, Mr. Sargood appeared for the creditors. The following are the main items of the joint balance-sheet, which was obtained, notwithstanding the interdict of his Honour : The balance-sheet commences on the Ist of January, 184 k, and ends on the 27th of September, 1848. Sundry creditors, 7,333/. ; profits, 7,932/. ; amount subsequently brought into the firm by Mangles, 18,250/. ; ditto, by Moore, 15,6761.; ditto, by the bankrupt, 8,0691.; amount advanced by Mangles and Co. ; 28,485/. ; cipital on the Ist of January, 1845, 15,1381.; and on the credit side, good debts, 881.; doubtful ditto, 2,358/. ; bad ditto, 2,378/. ; property, 8,842/.; amount drawn out of the firm by Mangles, 1,2521. ; by Moore, 1,293/.; by the bankrupt, 1,8281.; interest, 8,078/. ; office expenses, 756/. ; losses, 68,7661. Amongst the "property" set down in the joint balance-sheet are the following items :—the ship Claudine of 480 tons, the cost of which was 5,232/. ; estimated to realise 2,500/. Shares in the Union Bank, which cost 223/., and now estimated to realise about the same amount. 100 acres of land in Aus tralia, which cost 114/. The separate balance-sheet of the bankrupt has "Sundry creditors, 509/. Capi tal, 2,594/. Amount of dividend of profits, received on shares in the Australian and Colonial Assurance Company, 221. 10s. Amount of gifts from relations, 2,917/. Amount of annuity under marriage settle ment, 170/. Doubtful debts, 35/. Property, 130/. ; ditto in the hands of Mangles and Co., 120/. Ex • penses, 1,496/. Losses, 1,993/. Amount paid into the firm of Mangles and. Moore, 3,0694 Amount paid for losses and averages, 1,1981." A claim was made by Mr. Sargood, on behalf of Messrs. Mangles and Moore, the bankrupt's former partners, for 21,0001. It appeared that the whole partnership trading up to June, 1845, at which period Price went out, has, through the depreciation of the produce in which they dealt and bad debts, resulted in a loss of 68,000/. The partners, Messrs. Mangles and Moore sought to prove against the estimate for the bankrupt's proportion of that loss. Mr. LAWRANCI resisted the admission of the proof, on the ground that it did not appear all the partner ship debts had been discharged, and, therefore, the partners could not prove in competition with the other creditors. Mr. SARGOOD said, that up to this time, no assignee had been chosen, and no debt had been proved, and, therefore, the case was not yet ripe for discussion. The bankrupt had failed to debit himself in his balance sheet with the sum claimed by the other partners, or any part of it. Finally the proof was ordered to stand over. One debt of 1801. was proved, and Mr. Lattraile, clerk to Messrs. Mangles and Moore, was appointed assignee. IN THE - BANKRITPTCY OF THOMAS JORDAN. • Thicbsinkrupt, who was a brick and machine maker in Jewry-street, and at Hammersmith, came up on the question of passing his last examination. No balance-sheet has as yet been filed, the bankrupt alleging, as the cause of his non-compliance, inability to obtain his books, which a bookseller named Jones held as a guarantee for the payment of a claim. Several creditors in person opposed the bankrupt. One of them stated that Jordan had not only "done him out of his rent," but cheated him out of 501. in the following manner :—He went to him (the cre ditor) at five o'clock on a Saturday evening, and asked him to cash a cheque on a certain bank for 501., saying that he wanted to pay his men their week's wages. Supposing it was all right, the creditor ad vanced the money; hut, as it was after banking hours, could not get the cheque cashed on that evening. When the cheque was presented at the bank on the following Monday, the presenter was informed that " Mr. Jordan had had no money there for three weeks." Another creditor said the bankrupt had obtained from him a quantity of double-barrelled guns. Ile alleged they were for the purpose of exportation to France; but in a few days after their delivery they found their way to the pawnshop and to the auc tioneer's. The bankrupt denied both these and many other charges, and declared that his creditors had perse cuted him in the most unfeeling and cruel manner. His estate would, if well managed, pay 20s. in the pound. Several of the creditors exclaimed that there would not be sixpence. The meeting was adjourned, the Commissioner granting protection from week to week to Jordan, so that he might file his balance-sheet. The certificate of a bankrupt named Nathaniel Bawdier, who carried on the trade of victualler in Cotton-street, Poplar, was suspended for six months. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, lan. 4. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN RE JOHN FREDERICK LODER. The insolvent, a musician, applied for his final order, and was opposed by three creditors. Mr. Dowse supported. It appeared that the insolvent had, about the time he petitioned the Court, separated from his wife, who was a teacher of dancing, and the question was raised whether her receipts for the Christmas quarter should not be set forth in the schedule and accounted for to the creditors. His HONOUR remarked that, under the new Act, there was a power given to the Court to examine the wife of an insolvent, which provision did not exist under the other Act, and he was disposed to exercise it in this case. The three creditors stated their complaints, and it appeared that several debts had been omitted from the schedule. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS made some observa tions on the carelessness of insolvents who swore to their schedules, omitting dehts that they owed. He was inclined to dismiss the petition ; but as a lenient course, he would adjourn the case for a month, and if an account was not procured from Mrs. Loder, he should certainly compel her attendance under the Act of Parliament. Adjourned to the Ist of February. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. John Mitchell was brought before Alderman Moon charged with having committed a burglary and rob bery in the house of Mrs Heppe], of No. 76, Corn hill, before twelve o'clock yesterday. Higgins (City policeman 661) stated that he was called into tue house to take a thief into custody, and upon entering he found the prisoner scuffling with some gentleman, and took him into custody. Soon afterwards a small housebreaking instrument, called a jemmy, and a skeleton-key, which were found in one of the rooms above stairs, into which the prisoner had made a forcible entrance, were handed to him. The marks on one of the drawers, which had been broken open and plundered, corresponded with the application of the jemmy, and the skeleton-key had been recently broken, a part of it being supposed to be in the lock of the door. John H. Millns, clerk to Mr. Clare, of Size-lane, stated that he lived at No. 76, Cornhill, the upper part of which was let out in chambers. At about a quarter to twelve o'clock he had occasion to go up to his room, which was on the third floor, and was kept, locked. Upon reaching the door he found it open about three or four inches, and, to his surprise, he saw the prisoner busy at a chest of drawers. The bottom drawer, which was the only one kept locked, had been forced open, and close to the prisoner, on the ground, lay a stuff gown and a satin shawl, the property of the witness's wife, packed up in a condi tion to be taken away. Witness laid hold of the prisoner, who actively eluded his grasp, and ran down stairs. The cry of " Stop thief" in some de gree impeded the progress of the thief, some gentle men having caught hold of him on the stairs, but he contrived to slip through their hands, and was rapidly descending, when he fell, and was secured by the policeman, who arrived at the critical moment. Wit ness found upon returning to his room the skeleton key and the jemmy produced. It was his impression that the prisoner had not been in the row.: many minutes. When he had left the room in the morning to go to business he had locked the door and left the key below stairs, and upon trying the key after the detection of the prisoner, he could not turn it in this lock, and he had no doubt the prisoner had broken the skeleton-key in forcing the lock. The jemmy was found to be ingeniously made, to be used as a file as well as a lock-forcer. The prisoner appeared to be quite unconcerned. Alderman Moort—Prisoner, is it your wish to say anything ? The prisoner — Why, sir, I have only to say that I went up-stairs, but I know nothing of the clothes or of the implements. I have nothing else to say. Alderman MOON—The case ,is complete ; but if it he considered necessary to remand the prisoner in order to ascertain whether he may not be required for some similar instances of plunder, I shall willingly order him to be brought up on a future day. The depositions were then ordered to be made out, and the prisoner was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two children wore brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having been found by the Mendicity Society's officers begging about the streets. The story of the eldest, a girl about eleven years of age, was this :—Her father and mother, who, with a shoal of paupers of all ages and sexes, had bean sent from Ireland to beg in this country about six months ago, were apprehended about a month ago for begging. anti had been committed for a month to the House of Correction. The girl, her sister, about eight years old, and her brother, about six years uld, were lelt in the streets totally destitute. They had, according to the story of the girl, made application to the parish authorities of St Giles's to be taken into the house until their parents came out of prison, but they had been peremptorily refused shelter. For nearly a month they had wandered about the streets, begging by day, - and sleeping in doorways or on staircases at n i ght. None of them had known the comfort of a bed during the late inclement weather. That morning her little sister was taken ill from cold, want, and exposure, and a charitable person at the house where they had been permitted to lie on the stairs took her into her room and gave her some coffee. The girl and her brother went out to beg for their day's subsistence. Mr. fiINGIIAM said, if the girl's 'statement was true it was a case that ought to be attended to. Here were three Irish children, whose father aed mother bad been committed to prison for vagrancy, wander ing about the streets without a home to go to or any means of obtaining support except by begging. Ile really thought the parish in which the parents had been apprehended ought to have taken the children into their house at once. The Mendicity officer was then directed to take the children to the workhouse with a request for them to be admitted. From " Sir Richard Sutton," 51.; from " J. G.," 2/. ;" and from " J. R.," 11., for the poor-box, have been received. CLERKEN WELL. Several poor creatures in wretched distress applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt, for advice how to proceed in order to obtain relief from their parish, St. Andrew's, Holborn. Oue woman said that her husband had died in the workhouse, and she had been relieved by the overseer of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and was well known there. On Wednesday morning last she went to the work house to ask for relief, and she remained there from an early hour until five o'clock in the evening without any sustenance, and perishing with cold, when she was admitted into the workhouse, but nothing was done for her, and she was turned out into the street. Mr. TYRWHITT said if her statement was true it was too bad, and he ordered Mr. Nesbitt, the usher; to proceed to the workhouse immediately, and request the attendance of Mr. Wilkes, the relieving-officer, who shortly afterwards made his appearance. Mr. TYAWIIITT explained to him the nature of the application. Mr. Wilkes knew the applicant, and said that her case could be answered in one word. She knew the rules of the establishment as well as he did himself. The board of guardians sat on particular days ; Wednesday was a busy day, on which they had to paypensions, and they could not leave off to attend Ithe , numerous applications made to them ; but an asylum was open for their reception, and it was the rule , that ' inquiries should be made into each case befdre relief could be given. Mr. TYRWHJTT said, he could not make it out why those , belonging to the parish, applying:t• the relieving overseer, should be told that nothing should be done for them, and be kept perishing the whole day in the street, in such weather as this, and to be turned out entire 'workhouse and left to starve because it was their rule to make inquiries. It was the fault of the board of guardians, who ought to have some addi tional force, in order that the poor might be properly attended to. Mr. Wilkes said, it was necessary to have their rules, and, if not attended to, they would be inun dated with such cases. He and the whole of the officers were engaged all the day, and they could do no mere thatt they had done. Mr. TYRWHITT—Then poor persons belonging to your parish may starve on those days that you are engaged ! Would not the ratepayers in a body con demn such a practice ? Why are the poor-rates paid but to relieve the poor? If they are not properly attended to it is nothing but an arbitrary tax upon the public. Mr. Wilkes—lf we did not adopt the practice of inquiry we should be liable to a series of impositions. Mr. TYRwHITT—Then what would be done if a person applied to you in a state of destitution and starvation ? Mr. Wilkes—Oh, if they were in absolute destitu tion and starvation they would be taken into the house directly. Mr.TTR*IIITT—The fact is that the ratepayers are made to pay, and their pockets are heavily dipped into, and if the poor are not properly attended to, they in return might say, " Then we won't pay the rates." He again said they ought to have extra force for the purpose of paying proper attention to the poor, and it was too bad Ito suffer them to remain in the street near the workhouse all day in such an incle ment season, and then to have nothing done for them, but left to starve during the interim of making inquiries. He hoped this would be altered, and the present cases attended to. Mr. 'Wilkes promised to attend to them, and the applicants left the court. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 4.
