Sir ROBERT PEEL'S great and comprehensive pro ject for the regeneration of Ireland, has been re ceived with the utmost enthusiasm by persons of all shades and varieties of political opinion in that coun try. The substitution of a solvent and unembar rassed proprietary in the place of the present no minal. owners is recognised on every side as the only mode by which the permanent prosperity of the nation can be attained, by which its able bodied population can obtain fair employment, and - the national capabilities of the soil may be fully developed. It is in fact the master-key, by which alone the field of industry in Ireland may be opened. We have long since pointed out the fatal consequences of the enormous encumbrances—the sad results of their own or of their progenitors' extrava gance and imprudence—by which the proprietors of real estate in Ireland are but too frequently burdened, and also of the strict entails and settlements by which the greater portion of the land is tied up. In the great majority of instances the apparent pos. sensor is not really the owner, nor can he deal with the lands in that capa city. In place of being worthy of censure, his condition is truly pitiable. Without power or in fluence, Is ithout any prospect of ever retrieving his position in society, he struggles even against hope and is• but too happy if he can (after keeping down the interest of the mortgages, and satisfying the family. charges and the public burdens) obtain a scanty annuity for his own purposes. With a large and showy rentroll, entitling him to take up a posi tion among the magnates of the land, he has really' but a small income at his own disposal. Under sach circumstances, it is by no means surf prising that he should endeavour to maintain an esta- blishment more suitable to his apparent than to his real condition, and that he should increase his embar rassments in the vain attempt. His own necessities render him utterly powerless for any good purpose ; he cannot expend any money in improvements, how ever beneficial they might prove, or ample the return that might reasonably be anticipated. His present wants are all that he is enabled to look to, and though perhaps naturally a kind-hearted and benevolent man, he is compelled to screw up his rental to the utmost pitch, that he may be enabled to meet his own pressing liabilities. Whatever may be his in clination, he cannot afford to encourage the improv ing tenant, if such encouragement should involve any pecuniary sacrifice. He therefore lets to the highest bidders, to those who will be contented with the scantiest diet, without scrutinising too narrowly their chara4ers or the real prospects of payment. If lands should fall out of lease he raises the rents, without making any allowance for unexhausted improvements, if such things should be possible under such a system. He cannot in fact afford to be just, and perhaps after all his ineffectual struggles he may be usable to satisfy the claimants on his estate, which is conse quently confided to the tender mercies of the Court of Chancery. There his embarrassments are increased and utmost, by the acc umulation of enormous costs, his t osun fortunate tenants are gr ound d own to the m while no aid can be afforded under any circumstances. Eves the trifling expenditure which took place on the lands while the impoverished inheri tor resided on the family mansion is withdrawn; the entire produce is absorbed in making up the sums that must be paid into Court when the Receiver is called upon to pass his annual account. Such is the system which Sir ROBERT PEEL be lieves to be destructive to the future prospects of the country, and which must be abolished, if we desire to see the sister kingdom elevated in the scale of nations, and .to witness a permanent amelioration of her social condition. _ _ Impressed with these convictions, he desires to in duce capitalists to invest their money where there are so many inducements. He is well aware that purchasers may generally be looked upon as persons likely to improve their newly-acquired properties. I In calculating the amount that they propose to lay out they do not regard the purchase-money alone, but they also consider the sums that may be re quired to bring the lands into the best con dition, to drain the soil and to erect the necessary offices for the due enjoyment of the several farms. By these means extensive employment would be afforded to the people—industry would be encouraged—while the value of the lands would be materially enhanced. It would be parti cularly desirable that small capitalists should be en couraged, that a sturdy yeomanry should be obtained to plough and cultivate their own farms for their own use, without being liable to any demands but those of the public collectors. It z;•as by such men that Ulster was colonized, that the most barren soil was rendered the most productive, and their descendants have still maintained the character, and followed in the footsteps of their proger.itors. It is by such men that Munster and Connaught can be civilized, improved, and assimilated in their con dition and property to the northern province, and such men can only be obtained by abolishing the cumbrous technicalities by which the law of real property is incumbered, and by the adoption of a cheap, expeditious, and secure mode of transfer, by means whereof lands could be disposed of with as much freedom and security as any other description of property. It can scarcely be forgotten that upon the occasion of the bombardment of Vienna by Prince WIN DISCHGRATZ, a certain anonymous Oxonian acquired a momentary and rather unenviable notoriety by a disgraceful correspondence, written by himself from that scene of pillage and slaughter. It will be re- ' membered by the majority how this veracious gentle man traduced the unfortunate inhabitants of the Austrian capital! how he trampled upon the fallen, how he cracked his sardonic jokes at the students who were being shot down in the trenches in battues, and who, only a few days before, had received him amongst them selves with fraternal hospitality ! Well just such another credible and creditable authority has recently made his appearance among the Hunp,m rians. This time, however, the Sir Oracle is an anonymous military personage—always anonymous ! The public are now expected to swallow the paper pel lets not of a graduate, but of a subaltern. The infamy of the calumniator is generously diffused by him not over a venerable university, but over the surface of a noble and honourable profession. We are to chew the leek while Captain BOIILDIL, with an unbounded capacity of imagination, and an unbridled license of expression, tells us all about his travels and ad ventures. His narrative opens in the approved style of romance, almost, indeed, in the imprescriptable phra'eology of G. P. R. JAMES—" One incle ment evening in January, two travellers might have been seen wending their way down the declivity which leads towards Debreczin." One of these travellers was your humble servant, the annonymous " British Officer "—the other was con ducting him, in the character of a prisoner, to a more secure place of confinement. With that delicacy of language so becoming him as a gentleman and an officer, the narrator describes his escort in the most felicitous terms, as " a drunken scoundrel of a cor poral." Not that the poor fellow is to be regarded as a votary of BACCHUS, or a moral opponent of Father MATHEW, or a physical opponent of Er. CULVERWELL—for the phrase is very loosely employed by the writer throughout his correspondence as a general epithet, without any exact meaning beyond that of direct scurrility. It figures, indeed, wherever he happens to be at a loss for an opprobrious adjec tive—and we thus hear him speak more than once of " the drunken soldiery," and the like. Well, be it known, this " drunken scoundrel of a corporal" leads the unfortunate British officer a precious dance over ' the country—showing him in his state of incarcera tion " like a wild beast," sometimes, " when a sufficient number of curious were collected outside"—or telling (not to the marines, but to the peasantry) the most extravagant tales about his charge, in the different villages through which they happened to pass. But this is not all, he is dragged into the presence of the renowned Leader of the Hungarian Revolution—" Mr. Kossuru," as he calls him with the spiteful flippancy of a chamber maid, as if a mere prefix of " Mr." could have de graded the glory of a TELL, or a HOFER, or a WAL LACE ! And Mr. KOSSUTH of course incontinently flies into a violent psssion, " putting himself into one of his theatrical positions, and in the most insulting language ordering that on the following day I should be brought before a drum-bead court-martial and shot." How the British Officer managed to escape from these im minent and extraordinary perils he does not conde scend tomention. And certainly it does appear most miraculous how he contrived to get o of the clutches of such savages as he describes the riungarian pea santry to be, or at least to escape without losing his nose, or one of his ears, or some other indispensable feature. Yet he does escape unharmed and escapes from a rabble habituated, according to his account, to daily assassination. " This system," says he, "is now a favourite one with Mr. KOSSUTH and his myrmidons: they abuse a person to the mob, the mob then murder this person, and then they shout La justice du people,!" A polite mob, by the way, to utter their cries in the elegant idiom of the Pari sians—instead of in their own rough vernacular. But looking at the matter seriously—here, the very writer of the abbve paragraph, has himself been abused to that mob, over and over again, in various Hun garians villages, and yet he comes out of the bloody ordeal scatheless to tell us all about it, and to malign the very people who have spared him his miser- , able existence ! As to Kossum's brutality --we beg pardon of the British Officer—as ,to Mr. KOSSUTH'S brutality of deportment the descrip tion tallies exactly with those furnished to the last generation about NAPOLEON kicking his marshals on a reception day, beating his wife, swearing at his mother, and introducing the manners of the most dis orderly barrack into the imperial saloons of the Tuileries—accounts which were believed, even in their best days, only by Mr. SAVAGE LANDOR and half-a-dozen old women in some out-of-the-way corner of the United Kingdom. The Hungarian movement of independence is not to be impeded by any cock-and-a-bull story about a convicted forger acting as the secretary to the Chief of the Revolu tion, any more than the English Revolution could have been prevented by asserting that SCHOMBERG cheated his antagonist at trick-track, or that a liaison was thriving between some nameless frau and WIL LIAM the Stadtholder. Everything that is of the smallest importance is " let out" reluctantly by the British Officer in the midst of his vituperations. He says, in one sentence, that " BEM's career is run ;" and yet immediately afterwards it is acknowledged that the Austrian troops are at Rimnik in Wallachia. How come they in Wallachia at all, unless our previous accounts are correct, that this same BEM, whose " career is run," had gained a great victory over the Imperial ists, and had driven them in confusion be yond the frontiers ? Again, about the re lative behaviour of the Absolutists and their opponents in the Danubian Principalities, we have this decisive admission from the organ of absolutism :—" The Turks at Galatz," says he, "are amiability itself, paying in the handsomest manner for everything they require. The Russians here, on the contrary, have had their soldiers quartered on the peasants since the month of November , have forced to supply food and fuel, and have not paid a them piastre." So much for these involuntary admissions in favour of the Mussulmen and the Hungarians—so much for these splenetic and impotent aspersions on a peasantry who are rising as our ancestors rose in 1685, t o v i n di cate their nation ality and to secure their independence. A hint to the army and to the universities !--When these anonymous scribes compromise the dignity of a seat of learning and the honour of a distinguished service, would it not be as well to institute such in quiries as should lead to the detection of the indivi duals, so that by publishing their names the odium of their malevolence and of their calumnies might fall exclusively upon themselves, and not be attached in discriminately to their professions? Lord John Russell has requested the Irish Mm. bers to meet him in:Downing-street on Wednesday, the Igt t h inst4nt, at eleven o'clock. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. One of the journals says :—"M. TniEas is indis posed, but his malady is by no means alarming. However, Dr. ANIMAL has thought it necessary to prescribe to him a strict regimen. It was not an at tack of cholera, but a severe cold and shivering fits, which came on after attending the funeral of his father-in-law."'—On inquiry, we learn that he is now perfectly recovered. M. LEON FAUCHER yesterday introduced a Bill into the Assembly to suspend for a period of three months Art. 67 of the Law of March, 1831, which interdicts the officer in command of the first military division from holding at the same time the place of Commander-in• Chief of the National Guard. By the introduction of the Bill, M. LEON FAUCIIER con fesses that General CRANGARNIER, in holding these two offices since December last, has been violating the Law, and that the PRESIDENT of the Republic has acted illegally in appointing him to them. On blonday night, the English party who have gone to Paris to return the visit of the National Guards, visited the Opera. The house was crowded and the strangers appeared to enjoy very much both the opera and the ballet. Between the entertain ments the English National Anthem of " God Save the Queen," was played by the orchestra out of com pliment to the English visitors, who, according to custom, immediately rose, and were joined by the whole of the French audience, who remained stand , ing whilst the national air was repeated in conse quence of an unanimous encore. - The Prefect of the Seine hag invited the English party to a ball at the Hotel de Ville for to-night. BRISBANE, the American Socialist, has been ordered to quit France, by the Minister of the Interior. M. PROUDHON'S journal, Le Peuple, has been again condemned to a fine of 6,000 francs. We read in the Journal du Havre of yesterday : "The Cosmopolite brings palpable proofs of the reality of the marvellous treasures embedded in the soil of California. Among her passengers were two Europeans laden with the opima spolia of the mo dern El Dorado. One of them, named GLEIN, who was a blacksmith of Hesse Cassel, realised, by the sale of a small property he possessed in California, 32 pounds weight of gold. Another man, named MICHEL, has brought eighteen pounds weight collected by himself. We learn by this vessel, that a native of Havre, named Boc, a cooper by trade, who had de serted from one of our whalers, after employing him self for a month in sterile explorings, at the end came to a place where, in a few days, he collected gold• dust to the value of 15,000 f." The Journal des Pyrenees Orientales of the 6th has the following :—" The custom-house officers of Saint Laurent de Cerdans arrested, in the night of the 4th, four foreigners, who were taken to the prefecture of Perpignan on the following morning. The Count DE MONTEMOLINO was recognised among the persons arrested. He has been placed provisionally in the citadel, with his three companions. A singular chance established the identity of the Count. At the Prefecture he was recognised by the Secretary of the Prefect, who had attended with the Prince a course of lectures at Bourges when he was in that city. After this recognition denial was no longer possible, and the Prince did not persist in it." A body of between 200 and 300 Hungarian and Piedmontese deserters or refugees have passed the Var, and entered France. They were disarmed, and sent to Draguignan.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vittoria, the 4th, has announced to the Spanish Government that the ex- King CHARLEi ALBERT, going by the name of Count DE BARGE, left San Sebastion on the 3d for Vallado lid, on his way to Portugal. _ _ The Bolsa was closed during Passion Reek. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Intelligence has been received of the refusal of the Ban JELLACIIICII to publish the Austrian Charter in Croatia. He has sent a protest to the Olmutz Cabi net, declaring that the Croatians would not be satis fied unless the EMPEROR were pleased to sanction the resolutions of the Croatian Diet of 1848. The dangers to Austria from the dissatisfaction of the Croats are so great that the Olmutz Cabinet cannot for a moment hesitate what course to adopt, and the Austrian Charter of 1849, which has already been modified, so far as the Servians are concerned, be comes thus impossible. The account of BEM'S successes are completely confirmed. He has taken Kronstadt, and now Tran sylvania is completely free. No Austrian or Russian soldier pollutes her soil by his presence. The first act of BEM in Hermanstadt and Cronstadt was to publish a general amnesty. On the 20th the Impe rialists, under General WELDER, attempted to take the fortress of Comorn by assault, but they were repulsed and driven back as far as Gran, with considerable loss. The garrison seized a great part of their siege artillery, and took an entire battalion prisoners, after having chased the enemy a distance of two German (12 English) miles. The ground before the fortress was strewed with dead bodies, found after the enemy had abandoned the siege. The Imperialists have left no troops but a corps d'observation near Gougo. The battalion Wempfen, composed of Italian grenadiers, immediately passed over to the victorious Hun garians. The Russian Invalid of St. Petersburgh publishes an account of the battle between the Russians and the forces of BEM at Hermanstadt, and states that the Russians were forced to retire to Tolmatsch, where they maintained themselves in spite of repeated attacks by BEN. FRANKFORT. The note of the Frankfort deputation on the refusal of the Imperial Crown by the King of PRUSSIA. has been published. The following is the only portion of importance : Ihe reply of his Majesty makes the Constitution promulgated by the Assembly of the German Empire a simple project, subject to the deliberation of the different Governments, and consequently to a decision of those Governments taken by the majority or unanimously. It is not within the mission of the deputation to notice the political or other rea sons in support of the views of the Assembly, so dif ferent to that of his Majesty; but it thinks right without delay, and before its return to Frankfort, to protest against a misunderstanding which may cause subse• quent errors. It seems to us that the idea which his Majesty has of the act of Frankfort does not permit his Majesty to accept or even simply not to decline the in vitation which has been addressed to him. His Majesty was invited to accept on the bases of the Constitution the election which fell on him. This invitation must be con sidered as declined from the moment at which his Majesty caused it to be understood, that in his opinion the Constitution accepted after a double reading by the National Assembly had no legal and obligatory existence, and that it will not possess that character until after a common decision of the German Governments. By this system the Constitution would serve as a bases of the ulterior deliberations of the Governments, but not of the legal Government of the chief of the Empire." The text of the reply of the Prussian Government was as follows : " We have received the honoured note addressed to us by the deputation of the National Assembly. The de putation will be kind enough without doubt to admit that we cannot enter into discussion with it on the con tents of this note, but that we must wait for the reso lutions which the National Assembly will be called in to take in consequence of the reply of the King." The German Gazette of Frankfort announces that M. CAMPUAUSEN, the Prussian Plenipotentiary to the Central Government, had been summoned to Berlin, and that M. BUNSEN had resigned the post of Plenipotentiary of the Empire at London. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. We have received Hamburgh papers and corre spondence of the Bth instant. We learn from them that on the Bth instant two skirmishes took place in the Sundewitt between the Germans and the Danes, though without a definitive result for either party. The following additional details of the engagement at Eckernfiirde, and the loss of the Christian VIII. and the Gefion are taken from official sources : "On the sth inst. the Christian VIII. of 86 guns, and the Gefion frigate of 46, with a brig and two steamers, opened fire upon the Eckernforde :batteries and threo more vessels lay off the entrance of the barbour. The officer in command of the batteries returned their fire, and a cannonade ensued, which lasted till two o'clock, P.M. Upon the combat being continued, after a short truce, one of the steamers got winged, her paddle being broke by a shot, and she was forthwith towed out of the harbour by the other steamers. The cannonade was so violent, and the two batteries of 10 guns had such a hot shower of bombs, round balls, and grape poured upon them that they were literally covered with shot marks. The colours of the batteries were shot down ; they were hoisted ag a in by the two officers in command. A suspensive of ilessiliiies ensued, Which lasted till five o'clock P. 31., and during which our party put the guns that had been damaged into working order, while the Danes attempted to quit the harbour, but did not succeed, owing to the east wind. The combat was resumed at five o'clock and the Christian VIII. struck two hours afterwards. he surrender of the Christian VIII. was followed by that of the Gefion, but while the Danish sailors of the former vessel were being saved, the Christian VIII. exploded with about 400 men on hoard. The loss on our side is two killed and eight wounded. One of our non-commissioned officers who had gone on board the Christian VIII. to remove the Danish sea men from the burning vessel, perished in the explosion. In the course of the combat the Christian VIII. fired sixty-eight broadsides of 42 shots each." ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette contains the follewing, dated Genoa the 4th instant : _ _ " To-day General La Marmora, followed by some troops, effected a reconnaissance, in the course of which he took possession of the two forts of Belvedere and Tanaglia, and of the battery of San Benigno, and made some of the insurgents prisoners. The troops displayed considerable ardour and a real military spirit on the oc casion, being certain that they were fighting against a handful of factious men who oppressed Genoese citizens, and not against liberty." The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 3d con tains the capitulation in virtue of which General DE ASARTA left the town. The following are the principal conditions :—" The Piedmontese troops shall leave the town, and retire by Savona and Alessandria.l No piece of artillery shall leave Genoa. Genoa will ever remain unit e d w ith Piedmont. • The famili▪ es of General de ASARTA and FERRETTI will be given Up as soon as the troops shall have crossed the Appenines." The other conditions merely relate to details r es pecti ng the execution of the preceding one. Several decrees were published in the course of the day (3d), one for the protection of the foreign consuls ; another announcing that the Committee of Public Safety (composed of General AVEZZANA, BETA, and MOR cuio), constituted itself as a Provisional Govern ment of Liguria ; a thi▪ rd, calling upon the citizens to repair to the barricades ; a fourth, proroguing for five days the date of bills falling due on the 2d inst. and days following; a fifth, prohibit ing the firing of muskets in the s t reets; a s i x th, threatening severe punishment for all acts against property or public order ; and a seventh, naming Captain CAMPANELLA Chief of the Staff of the Na tional Guards, and Citizen CAMBIASO a Major to the said staff. The Opinione of Turin, of the 6th, says that the Austrians have taken thirty of the most distinguished inhabitants of Brescia as hostages. Camozzi, chief of the insurrection, has retired into the mountains, with a few of his fellow citizens, carrying with him the Austrian commandant of the fort as a prisoner. Letters from V en i ce state t h at a s ki rm i s h t oo k place on the 26th u lt ., b etween a party o f A ustr i ans, who had occupied the Cavazuccherina, where they wanted to impose a contribution of 6,000 livres, and a party of Venetian troops, who came up just in time to stop their proceedings. The Austrians had several men wounded, and were forced to retreat. The Milan Gazette of the 4th inst., announces that the Archduke WILLiAm had arrived in that city, bringing with him the decoration of the Golden Fleece to Field• Marshal RADETZKT. LEVAN T MAIL. By the Levant Mail we have received Athens journals to the 28th, and Constantinople journals to the 24th ult., inclusively. The Journal crAthenes announces as follows the departure of Sir E. Lyons : _ On Friday l as t Si r E. L yons h a d the h onour o f be ing received by th e Ki ng, to presen t his l e tt ers o f reca ll. The King was pleased to speak in the most flattering terms of the s erv i ces wh i c h h e h a d ren d ere d, d ur i ng his long career in Greece, to that country. Sir E. Lyons was afterwards received by the Queen; her Majesty expressed herself in the most gracious man ner to both him and Lady Lyons. The next day Sir Edmund dined with the Ring, and the latter having heard that there was neither an English nor French steamer in the Pyreaus to carry him to the isthmus, where he was to embark on board one of the Austrian Lloyd's vessels fur Trieste, ordered the Otho state steamer to be placed at Sir E. Lyon's disposal. That gentleman and his family left on Monday last, being accompanied to the waterside by M. Persiany, Chargé d'Affaires of Russia, and 1%1. Thouvenel, the French envoy. A crowd of carriages was also seen in attend. ance, and never did any dipl om atist, on quitting Greece, receive greater marks of attention. It was remarked that none of the representatives of the German courts were present. Nothing is yet known as to when Mr. Wyse, his succe ssor , i s to arrive. Meanwhile, Mr. Griffith, Secretary of Legation, remains acting as Chargé d'Affaires." A letter from Tauris, of March 1, in the Journal de Constantinople, says :—" The last courier , from Teheran announces that DJSFER-KourA-KHAN, the chief of the insurgents of Khorassan, had just arrived in that town to make his submission to King NASREDUIN SCHAU. This event will put an end, it is hoped, to the war. For some time a religious sect has been spoken of which has taken up arms in the Mazenderan to defend its doctrines, and the head of which is now in prison. They are called Babis, and profess ultra socialist doctrines. Now that the Government appears delivered from the annoyance of Khorassan, it will probably reduce them." We read in the same journal :-2" A letter from Bucharest of the 9th of this month informs us that the greatest number of th e po li t i cal prisoners have been set at liberty, som e on b a i l, and others without condition. A great number of civil and military employes, who had been di sm i sse d f rom their functions, under suspicion of having taken part in the last events, have been restored to their places after an investigation. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WrotiTme.x.) MR. DROUETT'S CASE. Upon the Learned Judge taking his seat on the bench this morning, Mr. BALLANTINE applied to the C our t to fi x M r. Drouett's trial for Friday morning, as Sir Frederick Thesiger had been retained for that day, and it would be convenient to that learned gentleman if his L or d s hip would grant the present application. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prosecution, had no objection to Friday being li/cud for the trial. Mr. Justice WIGIITAIAN acc e d e d to the request, and appointed the trial for F riday. The second edition of the calendar contains a list of 305 prisoners, being an addition of 51 to the •first calendar. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—A young man named Joseph Caqhway, described as a labourer, and aged 19, but whose appearance scarcely indicated that he was more than 14, was placed at the bar, and indicted for felo niously shooting at Emma Tyler, with intent to kill and murder her. Mr. RYLAND stated the case for the prosecution, which from its recent occurrence must still be in the recollection of the readers of The Sun. The prisoner is the son of a silk weaver, residing in one of the nume rous courts running out of Bishopsgate-street; and pre vious to the committal of the offence, he had been keep ing company with the prosecutrix, who lived in the same neighbourhood. From some cause or other, which could not be explained, the prisoner took a sudden dislike to the prosecutrix, and on the night of the 13th of last Angel-allay, Ja nuary he mether a placebottom the between of them , during where some which the prisoner produced a p istol and fired it at her. The shot which the pistol co ntained took sli g ht effect on the side of her head, but she was speedily conveyed to conversationtook a medical man, who extracted the lead and dressed the wound, which very soon healed. Emma Tyler, the prosecutrix, who appeared much older than the prisoner, deposed that on the night in question, after she had been conversing with the priso ner for a long time, she went home. She had not been in doors long, before a young girl, named Eliza Graves, came and said the prisoner wanted to speak to her. She accordingly returned to the bottom of the court where they had been previously standing, and asked the pri soner what he wanted with her. He replied that she should know presently, and took hold of her left hand. They continued to converse in this way for about ten minutes, when she felt something pierce the aide of her head, and she fell to the ground. She was taken up and conveyed to a hospital, where the wound was dressed. She saw the prisoner fire a pistol. On cross-examination by Mr. WOOLLET she said she was 16 years of age, but could neither read nor write. The prosecutrix here exhibited symptoms of fainting, and by the direction of the Judge she was allowed to retire into the open air. Eliza Graves confirmed the evidence of the prosecu trix. After she, the prisoner, and prosecutrix had been talking good humouredly together she saw the prisoner take a pistol from his pocket and fire it at the prosecu trix, who instantly fell into her arms, while the prisoner took to his heels and ran away. As he ran away she sa w him return the pistol to his pocket. On cross-examination she said she was 14 years of age. She had said she thought the prisoner did this for a lark, and she thought so still. Evidence was then adduced as to the nature of the wound. A medical gentleman from St. Bartholomew's Hospital proved that it was caused by a bullet. The face was scorched. The wound was probed, but no bullet was found in it. The prosecutrix had remained in the Hospital ever since, and the wound would have been dangerous had inflammation supervened. A piece of lead or copper, like a bullet, was found in the prosecu trix's hair by a nurse on the morning following the com mittal of the offence. One of the inspectors of the City Police proved that he arrested the prisoner, who said the pistol was only loaded with paper. On the road to the station-house he said Emma Tyler asked him to buy a pistol to shoot either himself or her. The pistol he had used, he added, no bad thrown away amongst some ruins, but although search had been made over the ruins, it could not be tound. One of the City police stated that the prisoner told him that he saw the prosecutrix larking with John Sumner on the night in question, and it had very much annoyed him; so much so, indeed, that upon Emma Tyler seeing it, she proposed to him and Eliza Graves that the three of them should go end th" tuun"l"3 over London Bridge, but they refused to do so. He ir.elded that he took out the pistol more to frighten than injure the prosecutrix, whom he loved dearly. The prosecutrix was recalled and her cro;s-exarnina :inn continu d. She said the prisoner was in the habit of carrying the pistol about with him, which she had frequently had in her hand, and on one occasion he had snapped it before her. She did not believe that he in tended to murder her by firing off the pistol. This closed the Case for the prosecution. Mr. - WooLLET then addressed the jury for the defence, contending that the evidence fully established that the prisoner had co intention of injuring the prosecutrix, but rather, that he fired off the pistol with the view of frightening her, not knowing that it was loaded with ball, and the night being dark, he had unfortunately placed the weapon too near her person. The action of the prisoner could not, therefore, be said to be dictated by malice, and as there could be no motire assigned for this offence, it was reasonable to suppose that the in jury was an accident and not the result of premedi tation. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN having summed up. the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the count in the indict ment charging the prisoner with shooting at the prose cutrix with the intention of doing some grievous bodily harm, but not guilty on the count charging him with attempting to murder her.—Sentence deferred. VENTILATION OF THE COURT.-DR. REID AGAIN. At the clos( of the last trial. Mr. CLARKSON rose, and said—My Lord, I hope your Lordship will interfere to prevent us from being killed by the artificial means used for ventilating the court. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Oh, certainly. I find these artificial means are never successful. Mr. CLARKSON—I only wish, my Lord, that any scientific gentleman would sit here for half au hour, and he would soon be of your Lordship's opinion. Mr. Justice WIOHTMAN—I only wish the old means of ventilating were again resorted to, namely, that of opening and shutting the windows. It is decidedly the best and safest plan. Mr. CLARKSON—Anything would be better than the present system of blowing hot and cold. Mr. Justice WIGHTNAN—The worst part of these scientific means is, that they make the head hot and the feet cold. The subject then dropped. I%EW COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman SALOMANS.) THE CHARTIST DISTURBANCE AT CAMBERWELL.— Charles Lee, better known as Gipsey Lee, was in dicted with feloniously assaulting Benjamin Hatfield, a tailor, in Southampton-street, Camberwell, and taking from his person a half-crown, two shillings, a sixpence, and some other monies. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk appeared to prosecute on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. _ _ - Mr. BODKIN stated the case to the jury. He said they would recollect that, on the 13th of March last year, there was what was called a Chartist meeting or demon stration on Kennington Common, upon which occasion a very large number of persons assembled together. They would not have to inquire into the object or pur pose of the meeting, but whatever it might be it was perfectly clear that a large mob of persons between 300 and 400 in number, took advantage of the unprotected nature of the streets in the neighbourhood of the Com mon, the police force being concentrated at one spot, to attack houses and commit offences of a serious kind. He should show by the evidence of a great number of per sons that the prisoner was not only acting in concert with the mob, but was one of its most active leaders, encouraging and inciting it to commit depredations. A great number of persons were tried this time last year, for their share in the proceedings, but the prisoner, although a remarkable person, and well known, had contrived to elude the vigilance of the police from that period until a few weeks since, when he was apprehended at Tunbridge Wells. The present charge was one of robbery, for having obtained a sum of money from Mr. Hatfield by means of threats and actual violence. It appeared that in consequence of an alarm in the neighbourhood Mr. Hatfield ran out of his shop, and endeavoured to put up the shutters, in order to protect it from the outrage of the mob, which he was informed was approaching. Whilst so engaged, about 200 or 300 persons, headed by the prisoner, who was armed with a club or piece of paling from some ad joining place, which he waved in tne air, came up, and the prisoner, addressing Mr. Hatfield with a vulgar epithet, said," We must have your money." Seeing so many infuriated persons about him, he put his hind into his pocket for this purpose, but was not sufficiently quick for the prisoner, who seized him by the collar, forced his hand into the pocket, and dragged out all the money he had got. The prisoner then said, " That's not enough —we must have some more"—and, thinking that his life was in danger, as well as the safety of his family and his property, he called out to a neighbour to lend him half-a-crown. This he gave to the prisoner, and the mob, who had aleady smashed the shop windows, proceeded in a direction towards Peckham. Several witnesses were then called, whose evidence clearly proved that the prisoner was the ringleader of the mob. A police constable said he apprehended the prisoner at Tunbridge Wells, and told him what he was charged with. He replied that it could not be him, as he was in the hospital at the time. While being brought to New gate by the train he said he was not so much astonished at being arres!ed, adding, " Somebody says there is no truth in dreams, but I think there is a good deal too much." He then said that he had a dream—that he thought his brother was in custody in a close carriage like that in which he was riding, on his way to Dover. Afterwards he said, " Now, that I recollect, it was I who was in custody, and was on my way to London." Mr. CHADWICK addressed the jury for the defence, contending that his identity had not been proved. The COMMON-SERGEANT summed up, and the jury found him Guilty. It was proved that he was found guilty of felony at the Sussex assizes in 1839; another conviction tor steal ing two handkerchhls as late as September last year was also proved. The COMMON-SERJEANT said the p r i soner h a d b een convicted on the clearest possible evidence, and not only of robbing Mr. Hatfield, but of being the ringleader of a mob, which at a time of great agitation, committed very serious depredations upon the property of several panic s. The world had now become very much fright ened at the results of mob-law, and no doubt very pro perly, because it was invariably the consequence of ruin and devastation to property. If persons were suffering, or supposed they wore suffering under any great griev ances, Westminster Hall was always open to them; but if they adopted such a course as that of the prisoner, they must suffer the consequences. It was the duty of the Court to preserve the peace and property of the conntry as far as it was able. Mr. Grey, the pawn broker, and several other persons, were almost ruined in consequence of the proceedings on the 12th of March, and he thought it but his duty, therefore, to make an example of the prisoner. The sentence of the Court was that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. The prisoner was then removed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and a Bench of Magistrates.) Mary Davis and Amelia Ann Williams, two young married women, of very respi ctable appearance, were convicted of stealing a pair of boots from the shop of a shoemaker in Holborn. In passing sentence The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that in every care in which women who were above the condition of want, and living in circumstances of respectability and comfort, were found guilty of •shoplifii❑g, the least sentence ho would pass should be as in the present instance six months' imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Richard Loder, lately overseer of the Justice Yard, at Woolwich Docks, was placed at the bar, on remand, before Mr. henry, charged with stealing two several sums of 6501. and 1001., the moneys of her Majesty's Treasury. It appeared that on the 7th of May, last year, the prisoner, in the usual course of his duty, received the above sums, two separate cheques on the Bank of Eng land—the larger sum being for the payment of the tradesmen's quarterly bills and the allowances of the superannuated servants of the Justice Yard and Hulks ; and the other for the payment of weekly wages and current expenses. On the next day he cashed the cheques at the Bank, but in stead of returning to his duty, absconded with the money. The Government offered a reward of 50/. only for his apprehension, but nothing was heard of him until Tuesday of last week, when the authorities at Wool wich received a letter from him, protesting the utmost contrition, and declaring his intention of " surrendering to justice, in the hope that it would be tempered with mercy." On that day he gave himself up to the officers of this court, and was lodged in the station-house of the F division, in Bow-street. The prisoner, who is a middle-aged man of remarkably fine figure and gentlemanly carriage, although so much altered in appearance from the evident anguish of his mind, that the bank-clerk who cashed the cheques (Mr: Miller) swore to-day that he could not now be positive as to the identity of the prisoner, whom, however, last May he knew intimately as " Mr. Loder, of the Dock yard." During the examination the prisoner wept bit terly. When the letter which he had written to the Superintendent at Woolwich acknowledging his guilt was read, he, in a faint tone, said it was too true. He was committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY). Jane Walker, a well-dressed woman, was charged with having uttered a counterfeit sovereign. Mrs. Elizabeth Groves, a dealer in ladies wardrobes, No. 5, Charlton-street, Marylebone, stated that on Mon day last the prisoner, who lodges at No. 4, in the same street, came into her shop and purchased some articles of clothing, which came to ss. 6d., in pay ment for which she tendered the sovereign produced. Witness believing the sovereign to be genuine, gave her the ch a n ge , an d she then l e f t th e s h op . On Tuesday her landlord called for his rent, and witness gave him, amongst other money, the sovereign she had received on the previous day from the prisoner. On her landlord examining the coin, he immediately pronounced it to be a counterfeit. Witness then sent for the prisoner, and as she refused to change it for a genuine sovereign, she gave her iu charge. Pope 117 E said he took the prisoner into custody about five o'clock last evening, and asked her where she got the counterfeit sovereign from. She said she would not tell any one until she got to the station. When she arrived there, she refused to give any account of herself or the sovereign. The prisoner said she declined informing any of her Reighlmirs where she got ber• ;noway from, it was no business of any ones, and she would not gratify their curiosity. She way confident the sovereign she gave to the prosecutrix was a gocd one, and thought the prose cutrix was labouring under a mistake. Mr. BINGHAM said the prisoner might not have known that the coi❑ was base, and he would accept bail for her appearance to-morrow, when the Mint Solicitor will be in attmadance. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool 3 esterday were 2,500 to 3,000 bales, American kind selling at 43. to 4*(l. are a point in favour ot buyers; but in other kinds there ie. no alteration. The market closed heavily. —Railway shares were in but limited demand at rather lower prices. The grain trade in Mark-lane to-day is firm at fully Monday's prices. The arrivals of foreign are smaller, comprising 7,590 qrs. of foreign, 4,380 of Barley, and 11.470 of Oats. There aro no later ship arrivals to-day, and the accounts from the Continent are not of importance, although it is stated that the hostilities between Denmark and Germany were prosecuted as actively as ever. The National Society of Commerce in Belgium intends to unite with the Societe Generale, the arrangement being, five of the former for one of the latter shares. At Am sterdam, on Monday, business in Stocks was very limited, the Two-and- a-Half per Cent. Dutch Bonds e ere quoted 49k. As the apt ing sets in, the tide of emigration to foreign parts is expected to recommence, and an occasional no:ice of the latest and most authentic information re ceived may prove very serviceable. The following is from Canada:— " The - editor of the Kingston (Upper Canada) Whig is travelling in Canada West, and writes for his paper of different localities through which he passes, giving some interesting facts and details in relation to the country, population, business, &c. He says:—' Vest num bers of cows are daily met with, in droves of one hundred and upwards, on their way to Kingston, there to cross the ice, into the United States. Since the ice bridge was formed over the two channels of the St. Lawrence, this trade in cows has been carried on by the American traders with much vigour. On the most moderate computation, upwards of two thousand COWS have been purchased since Christmas by the American dairymen, between Kingston and this town; and for what I know, as many of these useful animals will be procured and sent across ere the ice season closes. The average price paid is twelve dollars per cow, and none are bought except those between the ages of four and eight years. The buyers are chiefly from the counties of Oneida, Herkeiner, and Lewes, and some cows are bought for the southern range of counties in the State of New York. The opening of the Cheese trade with England has given an impetus to the dairymen of New York, and hence the desire to buy all the spare cows of Canada. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good.' The want of New York is the gain of Canada. A few thousand cows will be exchanged for hard cash, here so much wanted ; and in the coming spring as many calves will be saved from the knife, to make up the deficiency in the farmer's kine yards. This want of the New Yorkers is not a casual one. While the sale of American Cheese in England re mains profitable, so long will the demand for cows con tinue; and it therefore behoves the Canadian breeder to be up and stirring, and strive to make the most of the market while it remains sound. The American dealers are buying up other things. Timothy seed is in great demand with them; and Pot and Pearl Ashes find a ready cash market. Railroad timber is also engaged in great quantities; and, altogether the only money now cir culating in this section of the country is obtained from the Americans. Did the reciprocity act prevail a higher price might be obtained in Canada ; for in that case the twenty per cent. ad valorem now paid to the United States custom houses, would go into the pockets of the sellers." It is stated that the Committee of Portuguese Bond holders have determined to recommend the creditors to accept the New Three per Cent. stock, which the agents offer in payment of the 20 per cent. deducted from the second half-year of 1846. This, under circumstances, is a course that is likely to be approved, fur the Govern ment at Lisbon is certainly not in a position to offer much. As was anticipated, the payment of the dividends and the previous extensive bearing have led to a rally in Public Securities, and there has been a good business done. Stock, we are told, is scarce in the "house," and if this continues the Bulls may yet get a further turn out of the market. Consols have been 918 to 92k for Transfer, and 92 to 92i for Time. The charge for " carrying" over accounts is but slight, as there is a good opinion of the future independent ot politics, which apparently are not much heeded. Con sols now are 92* - 4 4 - for present delivery, and * per cent. above those rates for Account. The New Three. sod a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 91i to 918. Bank Stock is 194 to 193 k, and India Steck 245. Ex cheqaer-bills are firm at 465. to 495. premium. in the Foreign Market, prices are looking better. Mexican opened at 294 to 30i, and are now 304 to I. There has been a rumour of an intended conversion of the debt into a Three- per-Cent. security, but we do not find that it is believed. Peruvian Bonds are 66. The conversion is to be effected by M. Murrieta, and is advertised. Spanish Five per Cents. are 17 to 17k, and the Three per Cents. 304 to le Portu guese Four per Cents. have been 281; and Brazilian small 798. Dutch Two-ancla-Hall per Cents. have ranged from 494 to 501. Railway Shares have not been much dealt in, but the quotations are better, except in one or two instances, including the Eastern Counties, and South-Eastern, the reports concerning which are unfavourable, and espe cially as concerns the former.
