PROSPECTUS. _ . _ 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 a location there with the aid of the smallest expenditure in acquir- Ing it. This Association, having already formed a very extended con nexion in the United States and the Canadas, proposes to confine its operations exclusively to these countries, and chiefly to the farmer. It is found that nine-tenths of those who emigrate to the United States are composed of small capitalists, who, for the meet part, have barely sufficient money to meet the expenses of the voyage ._ l tUd the purchase of a location. To such parties loss of time a ' a great disadvantage, and the expenses incurred in ee 'lcell of a location too frequently absorb their small means. They are in general unacquainted with the geography of that vast country and its varied resources. Titles 1 .0 land, when they do not come direct from the Government, are ellen defective, and the unaided emigrant runs a great risk of not b eing able to fix himself in that portion of the United States where ~ previous knowledge could be turned to the best account. These in duce many other considerations equally important will naturally in ilee emigrants to avail themselves of the agency and place themselves Under the auspices of an Associaticn having the disposal of lands more or less extensive in every State of the Union, and respecting Which every authentic information has been obtained and can be fur l:Ushed the emigrant beforehand. The choice of a state is often of much importance. 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 sequence. In fact, a prudent emigrant should endeavour to possess himself with as much information before leaving home, as, if acting ? I I his own experience, he could barely hope to acquire atter a eligthened 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 Th earis so that neither his time nor his substance would be wasted °afore his industry began. The plan the Association proposes is chiefly to dispose of lands on c ornmission ; not to speculate in lands by purchase 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 c onnexion, information, and establishment will be placed at the service of the emigrant who seeks a new home under its directions. The Association agrees beforehand to sell at cost price , adding merely hereto 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 he for the most 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 Der acre of his acquisi tion much lass 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 teens to avoid this almost inevitable consequence that this Asso ciation is formed ; to advise him before departure of the advantages and disadvantages of settlement in each state, to assist him in the means 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 cost of his own and his family's removal. He will be told how he should stock his land, what implements to purchase ; and in fact h may acquire a year's experience in advance as to the best mode of ti ""lng himself to account by the instructions to be g i ven h i m , lough the officers of the Association on the other side. some of the newer States, where labour is not abundant, the Vociation will undertake to supply the emigrant with labour , by e„", er ing such inducements as will secure it. These will form the ct of special schein ‘s of settlement, which the A s so ciation will - "`ifY from time to time, and the price of land per acre will range ttecerdingly. The owners of tracts of land in the United States will find it ad vantageous to avail themselves of the Association, it being the in tention of the Association to select the most suitable occupiers and ea hlvators. look As a guarantee pro of the good faith of the se , sto to its chief fit, after payment of expensAssociation it in the propose manner s tated, to reserved lots, which are not to exceed one -f o urth of the en tire quantity in any one block. These reserved lots will be disposed f; a fterwards at their real market value , a nd without reference (as t the case of the first emigrants) to prime cost. T he settlement of considerable tracts of land , and t h e voyage the reto and location thereon of a number of families, will give rise 1„: n allY considerations wkich cannot be easily enumerated, but, to ere success, cannot be overlooked by the Association. The phy tncal Wants of the emigrant will require medical attendance on him r - the spot. Provision will be made likewise for his spiritual corn _ort, by providing a clergyman, in conformity with the religious per suasion of of each hundred families; and, as it not unfrcquently hap ens that many families depart from the same neighbourhood, in all cases Where practicable, the choice of the pastor will rest with the emi grants themselves. he plan of the Association, therefore, embraces the following ve llitS, Viz. : M ates The acquisition of tracts or po - tions of lands in the several Lat es of , he Union and in Canada, for sale on commission. The disposal of these lands to emigrants in such quantities as Suit their individual means on the basis of the Cost price of the vld, adding so much per acre as will cover the charges attendant the examination of the lands and their titleo, anti a staff of in t 111 gent officers to take charge of the emigrants and their intcres • , to Placing them upon the laud, uir!er the most favourable dr ....Manses. for Contrac'ing to place the emigrant and his family on the land a flied sum, including all expenses of voyage out. and in the 'lerior, so t h e • he may k' ow beforehand how far his money will ~ 'e in securing the object of his wishes. 4• , The supply of labourers on such locations as may require it, at otherwise per acre, to be added to prime cost of the land, if not b s-rw . lee 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 ... "e ciation for less than double the origina l ave ra g e p rime cost p er acre 6. Provision for the moral and physical wants of the emigrant , so thd.at his safety and comfort will be secured from the ordinary acci ts at endaiit on the unaided efforts of a single individual. The Directors are engaged in the settlement of a tract of land in or tern Texas, containing 153,400 acres, and are preparing a scabs Prices for the location of emigrants thereon.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClllCUlT—Maidstone,:March 14. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Corn 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 had 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 laud 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 had four children, William, the defendant, Anthony, Samuel, and a daughter named Susannah, who, it appeared, had married the present plaintiff. Some time in 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 1,8001. 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, w ere handed over to Mr. Mat thews, the defendant's attorney, who resisted the claim, among and informed Mr. Bowdit c h t h at there was no founda tion for it; and things conti nued in this state until the company were nearly ready to pay over the money to the defendant, and then it app eared that Mr. Bowd i tch sent them a formal notice not t o d o so, an d on t h e not i ce he set out a clause, in a suppos e d w ill o f M r. A nthony Pe to the defendant in trust, ck to by be which equallyhhe left propertyall his children, share and share alike. The comparty, upon re ce i v i ng thi s not i ce, divided the e 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 p l a i n tiff, Mr. Bowditch, went t•, 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 be would be involv e d i n 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 CRANNELL, in addressing the jury for the defendant, commented severely upon the conduct of the plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Bowditch, in obtaining such as instrument from the defendant, 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.

Diffidence, or a sens e of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em later the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un emprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set- Vern ent. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In 7ne compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune.

OXFORD ClRCW7:—Stabrord, 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 maltater 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, and that he must search him, on which he became very violent, fighting, kicking, and resisting in every way he could. Ho 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 January. There were other charges against the prisoner, wbo 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 CIRCUIT. —Dorchester, March 13. Mr. Justice Williams arrived here this afternoon, and immediately opened the commission. The calendar is not only numerically heavy—the size of the county and a recent intermediate sessions considered—but the of fences are many of them of a grave character. They in clude—murder, 2; night poaching and beating keepers, 4; manslaughter, 3;vvounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, 2; arson, 1; wounding a horse by forcing a stick down its throat, 1; &c. The nisi prius business promises to afford a few cases of interest. Sir Fitzroy Kelly appears as defendant in an action for the bill of costs incurred in the Lyme Regis election. Mr. Abdy, the sitting member, is also sued by his agent. There is a case of ejectment, respecting some property at Portsea, in which the property in dispute is said to be valued :at 200,0001., and 560 ejectment notices have been served. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York, March 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr.„,Justice COLERIDGE.) WilliamWhitchead and John Trotter were indicted for cutting and stabbing James Greenroyd. The prosecutor, who is a farmer and tanner, residing at Bracke n B e d, i n O ven d en , a bout a mile from Halifax, in passing th roug h B ac k- s t ree t, at about one o'clock on the morning of the 7th i n st., was tripped up by a man who was in c om p an y w ith two others. He was then struck on the side of the head, and his hat kn oc k e d off. The prosecutor, to defend himself; drew out his knife and ran aw a y i n th e di rec tion of Cow-green. He was pursued by two men, and when he got within the ir on railings of C ow - green , h e received a cut on th e h ead, and a mom en t a f terwar d s was stabbed in the back. H e turned round and saw the prisoners. The jury, a ft er cons id e rable deliberation, found both the prisoners Guilty of a common assault only. Sentence deferred. CIVIL COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERsoN.) TiErDsoN v. MARSHALLs: The parties in this case were both highly -respectable persons, the defendants being the great flax-spinners, at Leeds. The plaintiff is the owner of an ancient mill on the bank of the Aire, near Leeds, granted by charter in the reign of Edward 1., to the party through whom he claims. The defendants have three large mills at some distance from the river, and to which they have laid two culverts, the one to supply water 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 pl a intiff, was contend e d to b e au interrupti on o f t h e fl o w of the river, and an infringe ment of his ancient right. For the defendant it was contended that they returned more water to the ricer than they took, an d 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 as they took from the river. John Hurst, captain of the steamer Lion, trading between H u ll an d H am burgh, was inclicted under th e Bth with a cargo and 9th Victoria, c. 86, s. 7, for assaultingulting Mr. Sam ue l Keys, a Cu s to m house officer, while in the di sc h arge of his duty. By the statute in question ships are required t o report their carg oes w ithi n 24 hours after their arri va l i n port. The Lion ret u r ne d to Hull on May 9,1848, of oxen and var i ous g oods. In the cabin were t wo rose wood tables, which the captain omitted to report, w h et h er through negligence or intentionally did not sufficiently appear. By l aw this omission subjected the goods to seizure, and the Custom-house officer, Mr. Keys, being THIRD COURT. (Before Hr. 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 one 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 net under a committee, through Mr. Stikeman, and he gave up to Mr. Stikeman his right of collecting. Wit ness knew that Mr. Stikema❑ had long ago settled the prisoner's account, and had done with him. The pri soner had had, in ❑o 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. \Vag• 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 mouths 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 for 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 he spoke of the high opinion entertained of his integrity and exertions, as a collector, by several persons of eminence. lle 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 there 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 informed that some tea•brokers were anxious to contribute to the testimonial, and I there fore called upon Mr. Gibbs. Here the 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 advantage 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 ment with letters, and failed in the performance of his 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 1,729 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 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 he had neglected or refused to pay the postage on these letters. He denied that such was the case. Ho had not refused, but he had been, by the severity of the law, reduced to penury, after a confinement of six months. He 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 years 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 Dudeney, 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; ho was discharged, but he had better be more careful for the future. BOW-STREET. William Tookl4 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 and 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 forms from his father's office, filled them up with fictitious names and particu lars, and forged the signature of his sister, who had au thority 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 1848.

The earth came to Liverpool attached to the roots of plants brought from the coast, but not from the gold regions ; but it goes to show that the whole soil of Cali fornia is full of small particles of the precious dust. The earth is of a deep red colour, and the gold occurs in it in minute grains and flakes. ~,,e-A //p - [PRICE SD. this means at different branch post-offices in the me tropolis. lie was now fully committed for trial. E RKEN WELL. Yesterday John Remington, aged 24, and his brother Charles, aged.2o, were put to the bar before Mr. Combo 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 depxedation; and it was deemed advisable to with- hold Irons 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- ' suit 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 Mr. Dell ; and Mr. Henry Steward, foreman to Mr. Kirkman, of the Strand, produced some wearing ap parel which bad 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).—Are 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, were 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 an 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. Dundas, G. W. Rice, and C. W. Hope. Acting Master—J. Tucker (b). Purser—E. A. Smith. Second Master—H. A. Martin. Mate—C. J. Balfour. Midshipmen—W. A. Smyth, IL F. Mercer, M. E. Sniithett, C. J. Ilowley,:the Hon.

Men being plentiful, and ship, captain, and officers fa vourites, she will not be long without an excellent crew. The Confiance western steam-tug arrived this morn ing from Devonport, with supernumeraries. The Adventure naval transport, Mr. P. Wellington, master-commanding, was removed from dock to-day, after a thorough overhaul and refit. Wind W.S.W , light breezes and hazy weather. CHATHAM, MARCH 13.-The Wanderer, 12-gun sloop, Commander Frederick B. Montresor,l from the coast of Africa, was towed into this harbour this afternoon by the African steam-vessel, to be paid off. The following detachments of regiments serving at Gibraltar have arrived at the invalid depot, Chatham viz., 7 privates of the reserved battalion of the 67th, and 1 private of the Ist battalion :of the 56th. These troops came home in the Stromboli steam-sloop. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE CAPTURE OF SLAVERS. The Waterwitch, Sloop-Mr. Woodhead has given notice to .Commander Birch and the officers and crew formerly of the Waterwitch, of the distribution of the proceeds of two prizes, on the 13th April, at James street, Adelphi :- For the slaver, name unknown, captured August 6, 1847-Flag, 211. 18s. 4d.; second class (commander) 106/. 14s. 4d.; third, 14/. 4s. 7d.; fourth, 71. 2s. 3d.; fifth, 6/.

We trust the Admiralty will very soon publish the revised scale. The injustice of the present proclamation is so glaring and imposing that we have scarcely patience to read the lists. THE CURLEW.-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 Curlew, 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 expected by 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 dejeiiner 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 Constitution, that reductions are still being car ried out:—" Saturday morning, the 26th Cameronians, 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 t.) 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 llenry 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 prima uomo, or the manager; but it has not been so announced in this instance. The benefits are all over; the theatre has closed till Easter, and the last night's performance (that of last evening) was tinder 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 tho 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 accessoz7 parts were better fitted—the costumes more gorgeous.-- and the stage arrangements, perhaps, more brilliant than on the previous representation of this opera. Harrison 'etas 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 love's 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 occupantof the galleries, the plaudits were general and enthusiastic. The air was encored, and again rewarded with the ap plause the talented si nger so we ll deserved. Miss Ram 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 the ductto passages she was most pleasingly sweet and cor 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 Walt; a pretty mcgo, composed by Mr. Levey. The fair danseuse w as loudly appl au d e d . H arrison gave " The Bay of Biscay, 0 " in the afterpiece with fine effect. He was moat heartily encored. At the end of the per formances (as in the beginning) the company chanted the National Anthem with the usual running accompani ment of faint cheers and loud hisses, amidst which, the Viceregal party w i t hd rew. W e s h ou ld h ave mentioned, that the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress (Miss O'Brien), were present, as was also th e L ord Chancellor. On being recognised they were heartily cheered.—Freeman's Journal, March 6. TUB LATE GALES. —FALMOUTH, MARCEL 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 in latitude 44 9 N., and longitude 11 12 W., _hiltlg fallen in with the barque Lord Collingwoo d, of I being New castle, abandoned.

The longboat and aid®, and bulwarks were also car riedand the pumps hoisted up eitherrhe barque was lying in: the trough about three feet. t . m ear away y t o o f n the chocks. of the sea; been conclu tain Cap barometer, , on the an d, fron: lightening d ded and hope a quantity of wheat being found it appeared as if the crew hal 'previous to their quitting, as is must have been the case. Cap small took from the barque nom ter quadrant, telescope, box ofc h arts, a sh ip' bell, medicine chest, four muskets, a bolt of canvass, and cabin a plaster-of-Paris figure, together with some beef and bread. The two latter articles were consumed, and the farmer 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; but, 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 tached 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.
