The large number of emigrants who have left Great Britain for the United States and the Canadas in the past year has suggested the idea of an Association for the purpose of affording increased facilities to those intending to emigrate towards gaining for them it location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir ing it. seissis This Association, having already formed a very extended con iexien in the United States and the Canadas , p ro p oses to confine its oPeratiens exclusively to these countries, and chiefly to the former. It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United s tates are composed of small capitalists, who, for the meat part, have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage S d the purchase of a location. To suck parties loss of time Ifl a great disadvantage, and t he ex p enses incurred in searchs, of a location too freq u e ntl y absorb their small .7eanl. They are in general un a cq uainted with the aeography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles sa laud, when they do not come direct from the Government, are o ften defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a g reat risk of not b eing able to fix himself in that portion of the United States where s s ' l3 previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These and many other considerations equally important will naturally in once emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves •nnder the auspices of an Association having the disposal of lands More or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting s W ,hich every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur atahed the emigrant beforehand. The choice of a state is often of muc h im p ortance. The quality of the land, its title guaranteed, its contiguity to markets, the cost of labour and value of produce, facilities of transport, as well as the climate and the healthiness of the district—all these are of great con teqUence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting II his own experience, he could bare l y ho p e to ac q uire after a lengthened residence in the country. In addition to this, the Association, by its arrangements for the v oyage out, and transport of the emigrant from the port of debark ation to the interior, will enable the emigrant to economize his ans so that neither his time nor his substance would be wasted before his industry began. The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on c ommission; not to speculate in lands by p urchase and re-sale on its own account, but to afford the emigrant the benefit of its dealing for the land, either with Government or proprietors. Its extended eennexion, information, and establishment will be placed at the • , s iervice of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions. The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price, adding merely thereto a commission, graduated proportionally to the number of acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses attending his transport to the spot. The lands which will pass through the hands of the Association from the original owner to the ultimate occupier will be for the mist part in block ; their cost price per acre to the Association will be much below that for which an individual could procure a single loca tion in any of the States where Government land is not to be had ; the emigrant will in this respect alone have a direct advantage. When he adds to this his saving on his outward expenses and journey to the spot, his loss of time, the disappointments often incurred on the other side, he will find the actual outlay per acre of his acquisi tion much less by a direct purchase through the Association, whose arrangements will enable it to render him a service he would fail in attempting for himself. It is a case of the commonest occurrence with those who go out to the United States to waste all their means and small resources with out ever arriving at the object of their wishes. Too many are thus left for the time destitute, and forced to become labourers, instead of proprietors of land. It is for the purpose of enabling the uninformed emigrant of small tans to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso ciation is formed ; to advise him before departure of the advantages a nd disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the choice of a location, and to inform him on what point to direct his means and efforts. By this means he can ascertain to a trifle the eclat of kis own and his family's removal. He will be told how he should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact hs , 7 acquire a year's experien ce in advance as to the best mode of 's"u s s ng himself to account by t he instructions to be given him — tough the officers of the Association on the other side. In some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the A ssociation will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour, by o ffering such inducements as w ill secure it. These will form the subject of special schemss of settlement, which the Association will notify from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range accordingly. The owners of tracts of land in the United States will find it ad- Z a ntageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in ention of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and c ultivators. s„S'tt s a gaarantee of the good faith of the Association, in it proposes to to its chief profit, a fter payment of expenses the manner stated, to reserved lots, which are not to exceed one-fourth of the en tire quantity in any one black. These reserved lots will be disposed of afterwards at their real market v alue, and without reference (as In the ease of the first emigrants) to prime cost. The settlement of considerable tracts of land, and the voyage I h ereto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise Tore many considerations which cannot b e easil y enumerated, but, to Tore success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The pity -1 wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him Sa the spet. Prevision will be de likewise forispiritual corn- i est, by providing a clergyman, in s conformity with the religious per 'Maslen of each hundred families ; and, as it not untrequently hap- Pens that many families depart from the same neighbourhood, in all c ases where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the en tlgrants themselves. The plan of the Association , t herefore, embraces the following Points, viz. :- 1. The acquisition of tracts or portions of lands in the several States of the Union and in Canada, for sale on commission. 2. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in ouch quantities as Will suit their individual means on the basis of the cost price of the ` 4ll d, adding so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant on the examination of the lands and their titled, and a staff of in telligent officers to take charge of the emigrants and their interest, n t ) to Placing them upon the land, unCer the most favourable cir cumstances. 3 . Contracting to place the emig rant aid his family on the land flit a fixed sum, including all expenses of voyage out. and in the I nterior, so that he may know beforehand how far his money will go in securing the object of his wishes. 4. The supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at so Much per acre, to be added to prime cost of the land, if not o therwise paid for by special agreement with emigrants. • Holding an interest in reserves not to exceed one-fourth the original acquisition ; these reserves not to be disposed of by the A ssociation for less than double the original average prime cost per acre. 6 . Provision for the moral and physical wants of the emigrant, so that his safety and comfort will be secured fr o m the ordinary acci dents attendant on the unaided efforts of a single individual. The Directors are engaged in the settlement of a tract of land in ' P •aatern Texas, containing 153,400 acres, and are preparing a scale "Prices for the location, of oinist - onto DUDLEY BYRNE, Secretary. 2, Royal Exchange-buildings, Landon.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Cona- mon Jury.) RASPESSON v. PECK. This was an action upon a bond or agreement to re cover the sum of 2001. A number of pleas were put upon the record, but the most material one was that the agreement in question bad been obtained from the de fendant by fraud and misrepresentation. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Clarke were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Channell and Mr. Deedes for the defendant. The circumstances under which this action was brought were of rather a peculiar character. It appeared that a Mr. Anthony Peck, the father of the defendant, had been possessed of some land and other property at Gravesend, which passed into the possession of the defendant, and had been so in his possession for a great number of years. Mr. Anthony Peck bad four children, William, the defendant, Anthony, Samuel, and a daughter named Susannah, who, it appeared, had married the present plaintiff. Some time is last year the South-Eastern Railway Company required the property in question, for the purpose of making a portion of their line, and they agreed to give 1,800/. for it; and it seems that about this time the plaintiff, in right of his wife, first set up a claim to a portion of the property. An attorney at Gravesend, named Bowditch, made applica tion to the defendant in his behalf, alleging that some will was in existence by which his sister Susannah was entitled to a share of the property, and these applica tions, it would appear, were handed over to Mr. Mat thews, the defendant's attorney, who resisted the claim, and informed Mr. - Bowditch that there was no founda tion for it; and things continued in this state until the company were nearly ready to pay over the money to the defendant, and then it aPPea re d th a t . Mr. Bowditch sent them a formal notice not do and on the notice he set out a clause, in a supposed will of Mr. Anthony Peck, by which he left the property to the defendant in trust, to be equally divided among all his children, share and share alike. The company, upon receiving this notice, immediately made the necessary inquiries through their solicitor, and the result was, that they could not discover the existence of any will or any document in support of the claim that was set up on behalf of the plaintiff, and on the Ist of May they gave notice to Mr. Bow ditch, that if he did not within one month either pro duce the will, or show by some other evidence that the plaintiff had any legal claim, they should not pay any at tention to the notice that had been sent them, but should at once complete the purchase. This was on the Ist of May, and it was shown that after this Mr. James, a gentleman who was acting as attorney for the com pany, told Mr. Bowditch distinctly that the company did not believe there was any foundation for the claim that had been set up by the plaintiff, and that unless the will referred to was produced, they should pay the money. It was then alleged that on the 30th of May the attorney for the plaintiff, Mr. Bowditch, went to the house of the defendant, who, it appeared, is an old man of seventy, and he there produced the notice that had been sent by the company, telling him that unless he came to some terms he would be involved in an expensive Chancery suit ; and the defendant upon that occasion consented to give two hundred pounds to his sister, provided the notice to the company not to pay the money was withdrawn, and the agreement in ques tion was then drawn up. It appeared that Mr. Bowditch concealed altogether from the knowledge of the defen dant that the Company would not give any credit to the claim that had been set up, and had determined to pay the money, notwithstanding it had been made, and this, it was contended, amounted to obtaining the agreement by fraud. Mr. Sergeant CuANNELL, in addressing the jury for the defendant, commented severely upon the conduct of the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Bowdi tch, in obtainin g such an instrument from the defenda n t , and said there was no doubt he had done so by alarming him with the prospect of an expensive Chancery suit, and by concealing from him the real position of affairs, and that the company gave no credit to the claim that he had set up on be half of the plaintiff, and intended to pay the money with out any reference to it; and he submitted that these facts made out the plea that the instrument had been obtained by fraud. Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, left two questions to the jury, the first was, whether they considered the conduct of Mr. Bowditch supported the plea that the agreement had been obtained by fraud from the defend ant; and secondly, whether, supposing the agreement had been voluntarily given by the defendant, the condition prescribed in it of withdrawing the notice to the com pany not to pay the money, bad been fulfilled. The jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant upon both the points left to them by the Learned Judge. CROWN SIDE. _ On Tuesday and Wednesday a second Criminal Court was formed, presided over by Mr. Sergeant Dowling, who disposed of a great many of the less serious cases, and yesterday Mr. Gurney r.lso tried prisoners iu a third court. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, March 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) William Parker was indicted for uttering a forged 51. note, at Lichfield, on the 13th of January, with intent to defraud John Wakefield and the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. The prisoner, it appeared, called at an inn kept by Mr. Wakefield, and had some conversation with him about a horse he had to sell. The prisoner represented himself as a maltster at Tamworth, and wished to take the horse in exchange for some malt. Mr. Wake field, however, refused, preferring money to malt. This was on the 29th of December. On the day named in the indictment he again paid a visit to Mr. Wake field's. He stayed there nearly an hour, and obtained change for a five pound note. He left the house hastily, not paying for some liquor he had partaken of, which, coupled with other circumstances excited the suspicion of Mrs. Wakefield, who went to the bank with the note, and Mr. Grimes, the clerk, at once declared it to be a forgery. Pursuit was made after the prisoner, who was found entering the Robin Hood with another man. The police officer told him the charge against him, end that he must search him, on which he became very violent, fighting, kicking, and resisting in every way he could. He was, however, overpowered, when five sovereigns, 3s. 6d. in silver, and a 101. Bank of England note were found on him, which was also a spurious one. Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced him to be transported for 15 years, and ordered the five sovereigns to be given to Mr. Wakefield. Joseph Spellman, 19, was indicted for a similar offence, at Walsall, on the 30th of Ja nuar y. There were other charges aga i ns t the prisoner, who was convicted and sentenced to be transported for 15 years. The grand jury this afternoon ignored the bill pre ferred against Maria Lightfoot, for the murder of her husband, William Lightfoot, by poison, at Kingswin ford, on the 15th of July last, contrary to the general expectation that her trial would end in a condemnation. WESTERN ClRCUlT;—Dorchester, March 13. Mr. Justice Williams arrived here this afternoon, and immediately opened the cotrnission.

The plaintiff is the owner of an ancient mill on ea b s e e in vt g ero both highly the bank of the .Aire near Leeds, granted by charter in th e defendants in this the reign of Edwar d L, to the party through whom he claims. The defendants have three largo mills at some distance from the river, and to which they ha ve l a id t wo culverts, the one to supply fater from the river to the steam-engine on the works, of between 400 and 500- horse power, and the other to take back the heated water to the river. This, for the plain tiff, was contended to b e an interruption of the fl ow of tne river, and an infringe ment of his ancient right. For the defendant it was contended that they returned more water to the river than they took, and the plaintiff was not injured. After the case had lasted many hours, it was compromised by the defendants undertaking to return, and to be subject to inspection, as much water $s they took from the river. John Hurst, captain of t he steamer Lion, trading between Hull and Hamburgb, was indicted under the Bth and 9th Victoria, c. 86, s. 7, for assaulting Mr. Samuel Keys, a Custom-house officer, while in the discharge of his duty. By the statute in question ships are required to report their cargoes within 24 hours after their arrival in port. The Lion returned to Hull on May 9, 1848, with a cargo of oxen and various goods. In the cabin were two rose wood tables, which the captain omitted to report, whether through negligence or intentionally did n o t sufficiently appear. By law this omission subjected the goods to seizure, and the Custom-house officer, Mr. Keys, being S U N 9 *MARCH 15 dissatisfied with the captain's conduct in reference to tha tables in question, and the Board of Curtoms refusing permission to amend his report in that respect, Mr. Keys proc-eded to seize the tables on board, when the captain collared him, shook him, and used very violent language. The case had not proceeded far when it was agreed that defendant should plead Guilty. He was sentenced to pay 1/. fine, and give two sureties in 1001. to keep the peace for two years. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant MURPHY.) Thomas Walker, 17, and William Johnson, 18, were indicted for a highway robbery, with violence, on Samuel Howarth, at Arksey, near Doncaster, on the evening of the 16th of December last. The prosecutor, on the evening in question, was on his way home from Doncaster, and having got to Sprot brough-lane-end was attacked by two men, who robbed him of his watch and money. The hands of one man were placed upon his mouth and throat, while the other rifled his pockets. The way in which the two prisoners were connected with the offence was in consequence of Walker and Johnson, along with another man, named Holdsworth, who has since escaped, having been taken before the magistrates the day but one after the robbery, on a charge of vagrancy, and when searched, a watch, which turned out to be the one of which Howarth was robbed, was found in Walker's possession. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against Johnson, and he was sentenced to be tran sported for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Butcher, who was on Tuesday charged with having obtained money under false pretences, was brought up for final examination before Alderman Carden. Lieut. Waghorn attended to give evidence. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having read over the evidence which had been given on a previous day, Mr. Gibbs, who had caused the prisoner to be appre hended for having obtained from him the cheque for five guineas as a contribution to the Waghorn testimonial, begged to be allowed to make ore most positive declara tion. It 'was, that he had never beheld the prisoner in his life before the day on which he gave that cheque, and never had any communication with the prisoner pre viously either directly or indirectly. Mr. Waghorn said, that a subscription for a testimo nial to him had been raised, and the defendant had been appointed a collector. It was the prisoner's duty to act under a committee, through Mr. Stikeman, and he gave up to Mr. Stikeman his right of collecting. Wit ness knew that Mr. Stikeman had long ago settled the prisoner's account, and had done with him. The pri soner had had, in no shape whatever, an authority from him to collect fresh subscriptions. Witness had a wife, but no children. No subscription whatever had been opened, with his sanction, for the benefit of Mrs. Wag horn. There was never anything of the kind that he knew of, and never had a farthing passed between him and the prisoner, either as regarded Mr. or Mrs. Wag• horn. The prisoner's accounts lay with Mr. Stikeman. Witness never gave him authority to apply to Mr. Gibbs or Mr. Capel, or Mr. George (the gentlemen who gave evidence on the preceding day, as contributors to the testimonial), and never saw the cheque produced before. The defendant should have handed the cheque upon re ceiving it to Mr. Stikeman, but he was not authorised to receive it at all, having given up his authority twelve months ago. Up to last Friday, said Mr. Waghorn, the prisoner was in the habit of coming to me, but since April, 1848, he never was authorised to collect. I told him, in the intermediate time, that it was an inoppor tune time fur collecting subscriptions, and on Friday last he left me, upon the distinct understanding that he was not to go on collecting, and after that I find that he has not only collected, but that he got the cheque cashed at the London Joint-stock Bank The prisoner said he had been informed by somebody that the subscription was for both Mr. and Mrs. Wag horn, and ho spoke of the high opinion entertained of his integrity and exertions, as a collector, by several persons of eminence. lie had been engaged in getting subscriptions for the Fry testimonial, for the Rowland Hill testimonial, for the Free Hospital, and for several other institutions, and there never had been any error in his accounts, or the least imputation upon his charac ter, in any of the transactions in which he was con cerned. He was willing to pay the difference claimed, but he considered that tere was a sum of money due to him for commission, and he had been always in the habit of stopping his commission money out of the subscrip tions. He did not consider that his authority to collect ceased, for there were several sums promised which had never yet been paid, and he thought he was bound to collect them. Alderman CARDEN—It has been positively sworn that you called upon Mr. Gibbs and the other two gentlemen who paid contributions, without any authority, and that your right to collect had been given up by you a year ago. Why, then, did you continue to collect? The pri soner—l had been tureemed that some tea• brokers were anxious to contribute to the testimonial, and I there fore called upon Mr. Gibbs. liere th. prisoner re peated several of the statements which had been so strongly contradicted 'upon the oaths of the gentlemen who had been examined. It was quite evident that the story about the subscription for Mrs. Waghorn had been hashed up to answer the fraudulent purposes of the fa bricator, a circumstance which Alderman Carden em phatically noticed in the course of the investigation. Mr. Gibbs said it must not be forgotten that his name had been torn out of the prisoner's list. That fact went to strengthen the other unquestionable proofs of the dis honesty of the accused. Alderman CARDEN said ho had attentively examined the evidence, and he had come to the conclusion that the prisoner had been going about collecting money for his own adi•antage upon a fraudulent pretence. It was an offence of a most dangerous kind, for it was calculated to dry up the great sources of benevolence, and in the pre sent instance it was to be peculiarly reprobated, inas much as Mr. Waghorn was a gentleman to whom a deep national debt was due. I shall sentence the prisoner to the full term of three months, and hard labour. Mr. Waghorn addressed a few words to Alderman Carden, expressive of a wish that a less severe punish ment might be inflicted, Alderman CARDEN said he only regretted that the law did not give him the power to pass a more severe judgment on such a delinquent. The prisoner said he was ready to pay up what he had received without accounting for it; but Alderman CARDEN would not listen to any hint at a compromise, and the prisoner was forthwith sent to Bridewell. JOSEPH ADY AGAIN.—This extraordinary character appeared before the Lord Mayor, to answer the com plaint of Mr. Peacock, upon the part of the Post office authorities. Mr. Peacock said the defendant had, notwithstanding.; the great indulgence with which he had been treated by the Post-office, and his promise not to act upon his old plan of universal correspondence, deluged the establish montwith letters, and failed in the perfor mance of hi s promise to pay the postage of the letters, for which he was responsible. The establishment now demanded of him the sum of 141. Bs. 2d. for 1,7` , 9 letters, 1,387 of which had been refused by the parties to whom they had been transmitted, 309 returned as having been addressed to parties unknown, and 33 returned as having been ad dressed to parties deceased. Mr. Hyde, a clerk in the Post office, produced a large parcels of letters, and said he had examined them all, and they purported to come from Joseph Ady, and had upon r them stamps indicating the causes of their return. The defendant, after an ineffectual effort to convince the Lord Mayor that the evidence against him was not sufficiently strong, assured his Lordship that he never posted an unpaid letter since he had made the promise, and that it was his intention to adhere to that regula tion. He said the charge against him was, that ho had neglected or refused to pay the postage on these letters. He denied that such was the case. lie had not refused, but he had been, by the severity of the law, reduced to penury, after a confinement of six months. lie did not mean to carry on a tiresome warfare with the Post-office, but he was unable to pay the amount, except the indul gence of further time were given to him. He was 74 yoars of age, and becoming infirm, and he begged that some consideration would be entertained for him on those grounds, as well as on the ground that he had been the means of restoring to the public millions, which would otherwise have been lost to them. He hoped, at all events, if the Lord Mayor were determined to issue process against him, he might be consigned to the Debtors' Prison, and not to a place in which he might be obliged to be the associate of assassins and robbers. It should be taken into account, too, that amongst those who benefited by his industrious research were some of the Aldermen themselves. The LORD MAYOR ordered that a warrant should is sue, and be put in force, if the defendant did not pay down 51. at once, and 11. a week until the whole amount should be liquidated. GUILDHALL. Paul Pinchin, a carman in the employ of Messrs. Swaine, Boord, and Co., distillers, in Bartholomew close, and Edward Dudency, a butcher, in the service of Mr. Silverside, of Paternoster-row, were placed at the bar, before Alderman Lawrence, the former charged with stealing some gin and gingerette, and the latter with receiving the cordial. Evidence having been given, Alderman LAWRENCE said there was no doubt Pinchin had robbed his employers, but to what extent could not be ascertained, and therefore he should sentence him to two months' imprisonment; with respect to Dudeney, there was some doubt whether he received it knowing it to be stolen; he was discharged, but he had better be more careful for the future. BOW-STREET. William Toota, the son of Mr. F. Tootell, postmaster of Edgeware, was placed at the bar for final examina tion, on the charge of forging Post-office orders end advices, and obtaining various sums of money thereby. No fresh cases were entered into. It transpired at the previous examination that the pri soner, having stolen the printed form s from his father's office, filled them up with fictitious names and particu lars, and forged the signature of his sister, who hadau thor'ity to sign the orders. He then sent the fictitious " advices" to the respective postmasters, subsequently calling himself with the orders and receiving the amounts specified therein. He obtained nearly 301, by 1849. [PRICE SD. this means at different branch post-offices in the me tropolis. He was now fully committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday John Remington, aged 24, and his brother Charles, aged:2o, were put to the bar before M r . C om b o for final examination, charged with committing several robberies under circumstances of a very painful nature. The evidence adduced went to show that a lady named Indell, who had not unpacked several of her trunks since the week before last Christmas, when she left them on the landing leading to the bed-room of the prisoners, on leaving to visit her friends in the country discovered that they had been severally broken open and stripped of property of considerable value, some of which con sisted of male and female apparel, and bed linen. She communicated her loss to her landlady and other in mates of the house, which naturally occasioned much gloom and surprise, the prisoners, from their apparent respectability, being far from suspected of a knowledge of the depredation; and it was deemed advisable to with hold from them the extraordinary facts. Further similar discoveries in reference to money and clothes having been abstracted from the sleeping apartment of a young gentleman named Dell, it was thought advisable to con sult with Police Constable Barker, No. 124 of the E division, and another active officer ; and on the evening of the 3d instant they saw the youngest prisoner leave his lodgings, and proceed to a pawnbroker's in the Hampstead-road, where he pledged a pair of trousers for 6s. This circumstance being made known to Mrs. Norton, she questioned Mr. Dell, who, on making an examination, missed from his chest of drawers a pair of trousers that were safe in the morning of that day ; and on inspecting the pledge in question, he identified them as his property. When informed of this light thrown on the mystery which had surrounded the unaccountable affair, Mrs. Norton became deeply affected ; but eventually, by the advice of Mr. Sidney and other friends, it was determined that the matter should be in vestigated by a magistrate, and the prisoners were sub sequently given into the custody of the policemen while they were at breakfast in the drawing- room ; and when searched, evidence of their guilt, as far as pawnbrokers' duplicates went, was found in their possession. James Yarne, shopman to Mr. Thompson, of the Hampstead-road, said that the prisoner, Charles Reming ton, pawned with him a pair of trousers, now owned by Air. Dell ; and Mr. Henry Steward, foreman to Mr. Kirkman, of the Strand, produced some wearing ap parel which had been stolen from Mrs. Indell's trunk, the ticket relative thereto having been taken from the elder prisoner's pocket. Other evidence in confirmation of the charges was then gone into, and, at its termination, Mr. COOMBE asked the first-named prisoner, if he wished to say anything ? He replied, very coolly, I have nothing to say. Mr. COOMBE (to Charles).—Aro you desirous of mak ing any statement ? Prisoner—No, Sir. I had rather not, Sir, I thank you. Mr. COOMBE.—You are now committed for trial. The witnesses having been bound over to prosecute, the prisoners, who had behaved with much levity, wet() removed from the bar. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--A very disgraceful riot was created in this garrison last night by the 91st Regi ment and the Royal Marine Artillery, originating in the conduct of the former. The shopkeepers in the High street were obliged to close their windows, and for some time the town within the walls was threatened with a sanguinary conflict between the belligerent parties. The governor returned to the Government-house to-day, and instantly instituted au investigation into the disreputable affair, with a view to the punishment of the authors of the disturbance. The Arrogant, 46, was commissioned at ten o'clock this morning by Captain Robert Fitzroy. The following officers have been appointed to her:— Lieutenants—B. P. Priest, A. de Horsey, A. Dundes, G. W.

We trust the Admiralty will very soon publish the revised scale. The injustice of tho present proclamation is so glaring and imposing that we have scarcely patience to read the lists. THE CIIRLEW.—Messrs. Woodhead have given notice that the account sales of the proceeds arising from the capture of the slave-vessel Dom Pedro Duque do Porto, by the Curlow, Lieutenant T. C. Ross commander, on March 26, 1840 (condemnation confirmed on appeal, in June, 1848), will be registered in the High Court of Admiralty on or after the 19th inst. The Caledonia, 120, Captain T. W.

KILKENNY, MARCH 13.—The Kilkenny Moderator says—" The route for India is every day expect e d b y the 75th Regiment. Yesterday Major-General Mac- Donald inspected the regiment, when he selected the in valids to be discharged preparatory to the departure of the corps on foreign service. The gallant general was subsequently entertained at a dejefiner by Col. Halifax and the officers. The company which arrived from Wexford on Saturday last seems to have introduced the cholera to the military barracks here. A corporal and his wife, belonging to that company, died of the disease on Sun day; and a brother to the corporal, also a soldier of the Wexford detachment, has since been attacked by the epidemic." It would appear from the following, which is given by the Cork Constit ut i on, that reductions are still being car ried out:—" Saturday morn i ng, the 26th Cameron i ans , stationed in this garrison, received positive orders that the proposed reductions should be carried immediately into effect; consequently the authorities are now busily employed in making discharges for upwards of 250 men, who are to be discharged in the barracks in two or three days' time. The 41st Regiment, stationed at Buttevant, has received by the same post similar directions. To. morrow eighty-six rank and file, with one lieutenant and one assistant-surgeon of the 83d Regiment, will embark on board the Ursula transport, under command of Cap tain Henry Lloyd, for conveyance to Bombay."

Most commonly in operatic engagements the last evening's performance is for the benefit of either the prima donna, the i n-inn, u.mo, or the manager,• but ;4 , ImuLt bo announced iu 1111bluutince. - The benefits are all over; the theatre has closed till Easter, and the last night's performance (that of last evening) was under especial command for the entertainment of their Excel lencies, and the Viceregal household. There was, on the whole, a good audience—rather thin at first—and the box circle looked somewhat dim at the period of the entrance of the Viceregal party; but the house gradually filled in as the opera proceeded, and at half-price the audience might be called crowded. The opera selected was the Crown Diamonds. We have before spoken at length of this opera, as rendered in the English libretto, and as presented by this operatic company. There seemed more care in the preparation; the accessory parts were better fitted—the costumes more gorgeous-- and the stage arrangements, perhaps, more brilliant than on the previous representation of this opera. Harrison was in glorious voice; there seemed in his rendering of the duet pieces an increase of melody, and of sustaining power, whilst in the solo passages he sung with a style and sweetness calculated to keep him in the pleased and grateful memory of all lovers of true music. In the ex quisite air—" Ah whisper what thou feelest "—scarcely were the first bars of the accompaniment heard when a general hush of expectation pervaded the house; the silence would have been all that could be wished for the perfect hearing of this sweet melody, were it not for the ill-timed arrival of the half-prices, who would slam the doors to the manifest annoyance of the rest of the audi ence. The song was given beautifully and in the truest taste, and from the Viceroy to the remotest occupant of the galleries, the plaudits were general and enthusiastic. The air was encored, and again rewarded with the ap plause the talented singer so well deserved. )Miss Rain. forth was peculiarly happy in her personation of the rather difficult role of Katrina. She was encored heartily in the aria soprano, "Love dwell with me;" and in th e duetto passages she was most pleasingly sweet and COT.. rect. She was well supported by Miss Mason. Corti was as usual effective and in fine voice, and Borrani, evinced his usual correct style. The afterpiece of No Song no Supper concluded the performances, with an intervening dance by Mademoiselle Adele—the Adele Waltz, a pretty moto, composed by Mr. Levey. The fair danseuse was loudly applauded. Harrison gave " The Bay of Biscay, 0 in the afterpiece with fine effect. Ile was most heartily encored. At the end of the per formances (as in the beginning) the company chaunted the National Anthem with the usual running accompani ment of faint cheers and loud hisses, amidst which, the Viceregal party withdrew. We should have mentioned that the Right lion. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress (Miss O'Brien), were present, as was also the Lord Chancellor. On being recognised they were heartily cheered.—Freetnan's Journal, March 6. THE LATE GALES.—FALMOETII, MARCII 10.—. Among the casualties to shipping, occasioned by the recent severe gales, we have to record the follow ing:—The barque Isabella, of Dundee, Captain Small, bound from Alexandria to this port for orders, and which arrived here yesterday, reports, when 10 latitude 44 9 N., and longitude 11 12 W., havingof. fallen in with the barque Lord Collingwoo b d eila b ri ein w• castle, abandoned.

Cap. the Small took from barque a chronometer, Lain quadrant, telescope, box of charts, a ship's barometer,. bell, medicine che st , . been four musk ets, a bolt of canvass, a plaster-of-Paris figure, together with some and lightening beef and bread. The two latter articles were consumed, and the former were delivered, on arrival, into the custody of Messrs. Broad and Sons, the receivers of droits. A package, at first supposed to be a mail bag, was also found on board, and brought on shore for delivery to the authorities; bat, on being opened by the collector, it was discovered, instead of letters, to contain garments stained with blood. As a con. solar seal was, on closer inspection, observed to be at. tachcd to the bag, it is concluded that a prisoner, guilty of some criminal act, was a passenger on board the ves sel. This supposition is strengthened from the fact of instructions having been sent out to the civil authorities in this port, in reference to such an expected arrival ; and the Lord Collingwood is surmised to have been from the Mediterranean, and bound to this port for orders.
