MONEY and, COMMERCIAL NEW S CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Towards the close of business the funds recovered from the dullness with which they were characterised Sn the early part of the day, and the price of Consols im proved to 921 92i for money, and 92i 924 for the ac count. Bank Stock 167 168 ; India Stock 248 249, and Ixchequer Bills 37 40 premium. In the Foreign Securities no great deal was done, and prices remained as on Saturday. Belgian, 1014 102: : -; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 53 531 ; the Five per Cents. 101 1011 ; Danish, 80, 1 ,-, 811 ; and Brazilian, 67 68. Railroad Shares were a shade better in price, with more business. London and Birmingham, 90 92 ; Creat Western, 28 29 ; the Half Shares, 144 15 premium. Birmingham and Gloucester, 52 54 ; ;;South Western, 63 64 ; Gosport, 63 64 ; North Mid :land, 64 66, the New Shares, 32 34 ; South Eastern and A)over, 30 301, the Scrip, 7g- 7i ; Eastern Counties, 9;1- ; Blackwall, 114 12, the New Shares, 9 10 ; and -Brighton, 36a 36 1 - per share. Upon a supposition, which is generally believed to be correct, that the Clyde has about fifty thousand dollars .on account of the dividends. the quotation of Mexican - :has improved 4 per cent., being now 341 341. The bonds of the insolvent States were thus nomi nally quoted :—Colombian, 26:4 26:1 ; Portuguese, the Five per Cents., 371 384, the Three per Cents, 221 23 ; :Spant,h Five per Cents., 23k, .24 and the Three per Cents. 224 23. Private letters from Bahia mention that the Pro vincial Government have remitted 8,000/. to Eng land on account of the dividends. This certainly .has the appearance of a determination on the part of the Qeneral Government to keep faith as far as may be in it s power with the foreign creditors, although it. has not at times been very scrupulous in causing the surplus reve antes of the nrovinces, which should have remained en tirely for the bondholders, to be applied to the general •exigencies of the State. It is much to be regretted that many of these countries, which are so deeply indebted to England, pecuniarily as well as morally, will not act in a dike szaightforward manner, in prefer,nce to allowing their national credit to be so seriously compromised as it as at present. (From The Sun of Last Night.) A solitary purchase in Console, to the extent of 20,000/., 4 .20 r to-morrow has comprised the whole business of the day. Iluyers and sellers have alternately appeared at. a shade above or "below the market price, but without eonclu thug a bargain. Consols are nominally the same as on Saturday, namely, 924 t 4 '1 for Money, and 921 921 for the Accornt. Three per Cents. Reduced, 91%911; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.:Ne,.v, 100 5 ,0. 100-1, ; Reduced 99a 99; ; Bank Stock, 167 188 ; Bonds, 20 21, and Exchequer Bills 36 39 prem. Scarcely anything has been done in Foreign Securities, and these only in Dutch, the prices for which are 53 for the Two and-a-Half, and 1013 for the Five per Cents. Railway Shares have been in better request, and the market appears firm, although prices are not quite so good as on Sa turday. South Eastern, 301, the Scrip, 71 71 ; South Western, 631 ; Eastern Counties, 9;, , , 9L, New, 51. 6s. .Bd. ; Northern and Eastern, 43; Bristol and Exeter, 431; Birmingham and 'Gloucester, 53; Manchester and Birmingham,3V 2 ; Manches ter and Leeds Quarter, 63 ; North Midland, 323 ; Edinburgh amsd Glas g ow, 54 1 / ; and Brighton, 361. In the bonds of the insolvent States, a single one found a place on the official list of to-day ; Peruvian, 19 3 / 1 ; not another has a quotation. Information of the arrival of the Clyde West India steamer rod Southampton last night, has been received this morning, with the pleasing intelligence for merchants that the letters will be delivered to-morrow. This vessel, civ ding to the bad arrangements over the water, is rather more Caen a week over due, and it ;s, of course, impossible to conjecture what mails site may have brought, but this is certain that a delay of 24 Lours in the receipt of the letters mustelapse, in consequence of the bags having again been landed at Falmouth. Some statements have appeared, vindicating the Post-office authorities there from any participation in the delay which has hithr rto always taken placed, and setting forth the dispatch which had been used in sorting and forwarding the correspondence to its:destination; but the point is the preferability of some other port, can account of its greater proximity to the metropolis, and thence to the various manufacturing towns. single instance, •on the arrival of these vessels "'have occurred, but that the passleugers have been in London very many hours before the lett irs, and from the long continuance of easterly winds, the early 'delivery of letters is the more serious. Papers to the Bth of January have arrived frotn Port Phillip, ♦vbich contain no particular news, although th ey give generally sa good account of the progress of the colony. it is stated that the introduction of steam communication imi carts a regularity to the arrival and dispatch of intelligence, witisch in times of greater commercial activity will exercise an ext ensively bene ficial effect upon colonial markets. Mails have been received :from the sister colony since its establishmont with almost - weekly regularity. This is a strong contrast; -to the circum stances which have occasioned the above remarks, especially when it is remembered how recently steam-v.r.ssels have been introduced into Australia. Accounts from Bahia to the 2d March haves been received, but which are wholly unimportant. Exchange inn London, 29 ; on Parrs, 325 ; and on Hainbergh, 610. LIVERTOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 7.

The favourites most in favour, yesterday afternoon, were the Frederica colt, Auckland, the Lord of Holderness, and Jack. Of this lot the first opened at 7 to 2, taken in hundreds ; several other bets at that price were succeeded by 1,500 to 500, and 300 to 100 in three or four places, and as 7 to 2 was offered throughout against Attila (4 to 1 was betted twice) ; the Stockbridge nag was decidedly established as first favourite ; the odds against each, as given below, were currently offered at the close. Auckland had a strong party at 12 to 1, taken frequently ; his backers would have gone on. The Lord of Holderness began at 16 to 1, and at one moment had sup porters at an improved price, but gave way on the advance of Jack, who came late in the afternoon, and was backed freely at 18 to 1. As this see-saw game has been played over and over again it would be hard to say which of the two will be the favourite on Thursday, or whether both will not be displaced by Meteor, who closed at takers of 30 to 1, after 1,000 to 25 and 1,000 to 30 had been laid five or six times. A few other horses were backed, but not at odds or to amounts to call for observation. Nothing done on the Oaks. CLOSING PRICES.

As the Derby is now close at hand, we think it right to re mind those who may have bets on it, that it is requisite to com pare books at least two or three days, say Thursday, before the race; the neglect of this precaution has occasioned numberless wrangles, and cannot be too strongly reprobated. Meteor, Ballinkeele (now at Newmarket), and Tiptoe, are mentioned as likely to run for the R. M. plate to morrow, at Newmarket.

THE TRANSIT THROUGH in EGYPT.—The D eser t o f Suez bids fair to become, a very short time, a l most as much a frequented thor ou g hfare as the Great No r th R oa d . Arrangements on an ex t ens ive scale are in the cours e o f pro gress by the Egyptian Oriental Transit Company for facili tating the intercourse with India, &c., through Eg ypt, both for passengers and goods , and t he Pacha had offered his aid io the undertaking by the appropriation of 100 . ,000 d o ll ars (20,0004) from his treasury, to be laid out for improving th e road, in building a large hotel at Suez , in transit depots, &c., which were to be rented of him by the company. Meantime, competitors against Hill and Co. have s tarted, for the con veyance of passengers between Cairo and Suez, who have pro vided a considerable number of carriages, horses, &c., and have issued circulars, offering to convey passengers across the Desert on much more moderate terms than what have hitherto been demanded by Hill and Co. Opposition hotels and station houses in the Desert were even talked of. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. The Thirty-seventh Annual General Meeting of the Mem bers and Friends of this excellent Institution, was held yes terday in the large room of Exeter Hall. At twelve o'clock, the Chair was taken by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, M.P., amidst the meat deafening plaudits from every part of the densely crowded Hall. On the platform we observed the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Norwich, Mr. Labouchere, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Cowper, M. P. , &c. The CHAIRMAN said, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is not necessary that I should refer to those proceedings which have been for many years the established course of this Society ; still less do I think it necessary to dilate upon the manifold advantages of education ; on that point, I trust, all here are fully satisfied ; but I think it is of some importance that I should consider the general and universal character which 1 think belongs to this Society. And let me observe that it is of the greatest consequence that you should set an example in the promotion of learning, in the promotion of education, in the promotion, above all, of education in the Sctiptures— because we have seen that the commencement of this Society has caused the commencement of other institutions bearing some analogy to it, and that not only this Society itself has gone on and flourished, but that it has suggested the idea, which had not hitherto occurred to other bodies, to establish similar institutions. It is maay years ago—my friend Mr. William Allen knows how long—since the British and Foreign School Society undertook the noble and worthy task of pro moting education in this kingdom. It was at first met with the declaration that the education of the poorer classes was un necessary, if nut mischievous; but that feeble cry soon sub sided, and the immediate consequence was the forma tion of another Society called " The National School Society," which,; with a difference in the manner of instruction, professed the same object, and entered on the great work of education. So have we seen the institution of the London University followed soon after by that of King's College ; so have we seen the publication of a work for the promotion of reading and instruction, called the Penny Magazine, followed immediately by the publication of another of a similar charac ter; so have we seen, that that which was much commented on and opposed at first—the reference of questions relating to education to a Committee of the Privy Council, by which means the voluntary exertions of individuals and societies were not interfered with, and that education might be promoted— we have seen, 1 say, that though that proposition was much re sisted at first, it has been adopted by those who most resisted it, and they propose to carry on the same operations.—(Loud cheers.) This Institution was first established in 1808 ; the National School Society was established in 1811. I think we see, then, from this and other examples, that exertions of this kind, made in a right direction, are not thrown away, but that you are exerting yourselves in the promotion of an object which may, and I trust has, operated fur the benefit of man kind.—(Cheers.) With respect to the principle on which this Institution was founded, I should state that it began, and has never deviated from, one basis which it laid down—that the children of this kingdom ought to receive instruction in the Holy Scrip tures.—( Loud cheers.) Those who have followed an object but with a difference of regulation have made less general pro vision for the poorer classes of this kingdom, because they have insisted that the formulce and catechism of the Church should he taught to all children. The consequence of this has been the exclusion, and, as I think, an unnecessary exclusion of great numbers, and maay children who might otherwise have received benefit have been deprived of it. It seemed as if those who founded them were as determined that they should trot become Presbyterians as that they should not become Christians ; that in order to prevent their becoming Baptists or Independents, they were willing to make them lose that in struction which we think should be given to all classes in this kingdom.—( Hear.) I lament to say, that with all the exer tion which has been made, there is still a lamentable want of education in this kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) If you want an example, look to the reports of the governors of gaols ; there it will appear, that out of one hundred pri soners you would find sixty or seventy ignorant of the name of God, or Jesus Christ.—( Hear.) One wonders that such profound ignorance should exist in this country ; but we should not confine ourselves to wonder, we should endeavour new to carry the light of Christianity into the most distant lands, where it has never yet penetrated, and we should, in our land, if possible, endeavour not to allow this heathen ignor ance to continue.—( Loud cheers.) If you look at other papers which have lately come to light, reports which have been made by the Commissioners to inquire into the treatment of children in the mines of this country, vou will find accounts of the most barbarous treatment as affects the health of these children, accompanied by a total disregard to their instruction in the common, simple rudiments of Chris tian education.—(Hear.) This, again, is an object to which the voluntary exertions of this Society, and, I should hope, the attention of Parliament, will be directed, with a view to the remedying of such evils.—( Cheers.) I do not wish to detain you longer from the reading of the Report, but I am entrusted by my brother (the Duke of Bedford) — ( Loud cheers)—to mention that he, considering that he has inherited with other duties and obligations of property, the obligation to support this Society, and to endeavour to con• tinue those exertions which my father had the happiness of being one of the first to render—(Loud cheers)—is desirous that the contributions which he always gave to the Society in former years should bo continued in this, and he hopes to con tinue it in future years.—(Hear, hear.) I, Gentlemen, too, feel the same duty and obligation on me of supporting this Society, by every means in my power, and you may always rely upon my exertions when they shall be required in promoting the objects of this highly meritorious institution—the Scrip tural education of the people. The Noble Chairman sat down amidst loud and long-continued cheering. The SEC RETARY then proceeded to read the Report. After referring to several reports which had been received from different parts of the country, it stated that by a report which had been received from Norfolk, it appeared that a large proportion of the young of both sexes had not only forgotten the little they ever knew of general learning, but also whatever scriptural and catechetical knowledge they had ever acquired. In one village a female had officiated as parish clerk for the last two years, because none of the adult males were able to read ; in another, not one individual of the labouring classes in the parish could read or write, and an intelligent farmer gave it as his opinion that in a population of 200, the present clerk of the parish was the only man in his sphere of life who could take the office. Of four trustees who were lately selected to execute a deed, three could only sign with a cross - and in two of the county towns, one containing a population Of 2,000, and the other 4,000, it was a matter of notoriety that several leading tradesmen and many smaller ones could not write, and could only read imperfectly. It was stated that the model schools of the Society continue to maintain their reputation, and that though numerous applications were continually rejected, 700 boys had frequently been in attendance. The girls' school also maintained its numbers. The normal schools and training establishments had, during the past year, been maintained in undiminished efficiency. In reference to the necessity for female education, it was stated that, of 710 females who had been taken into custody by the Metropolitan police, only 22 could read and write, while only one had received superior instruction. The special subscription which last year was reported to amount to 9,000/., with the addition of a grant of 5,0001. from the Govern ment, had increased to 15,6201. Under the head of general operations, it appeared that 55 new schools had been opened during the past year. With respect to the foreign operations, it was stated that the British Free Schools at Paris were still prospering. The four schools of the Belgian Evan gelical Society contained above two hundred children, who are daily receiving scriptural instruction. The school for poor foreigners in St. Petersburgh continued to prosper. In Greece, the lonian Islands, and throughout the Mores, education was advancing, as was the case also in Africa and in the East. The girls' school at Patras now con tained 450 children, and another was about to be established for children above the station of the poor. In every part of the West Indies, and in Canada and in Australia, education was gradually . advancing. The Report concluded by calling upon the meeting to enable the Committee still further to ex tend the blessings of education. The TREA SITRER read the cash account, from which it ap peared that the whole income of the Society for the past year amounted to 7,0801. 13s. 4d. H. LAEOUCHERE, Esq., moved the first resolution, pro posing the adoption of the Report, and that John Abel Smith, Esq., should be requested to accept the office of Vice-Presi dent of the Society. Lord WOILSLEY seconded the resolntion, which was then put from the Chair, and carried unanimously. The Bishop of IVoewieu moved the following resolution : " That this meeting, grateful for the continuance of the Royal patronage, desires most respectfully to acknowledge the im portant subscription of her Majesty the Queen, 100/. annu ally."—( Great cheering.) The Right Rev. Prelate, in alluding to what had been stated in the Report with respect to Norwich, said, however just the accusation might be, he believed it would never be made again.—(Cheers.) The clergy of his diocese were now ably and energetically seconding him in his views for the education of the people.—(Cheers). Schools were arising in all directions, and the greatest interest was felt and manifested in the prosecution of education. He trusted that all parties would unite to dispel the ignorance which prevailed to such a fearful extent throughout the land.—(Cheers. ) ABEL SMITH, Esq. briefly seconded the resolution, which was put and carried by acclamation. 'The Rev. Mr. STOVELL proposed the next resolution, which was to the effect :—That the Meeting being deeply impressed with a sense of the importance of the objects of this Society, and the heavy responsibility devolving upon those whose duty it is to educate the children of the poor, is most desirous of caps es ing its sympathy with them, and anxiety in every way to pro mote their personal comfort and improvement. The Rev. Mr. PRICHARD seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. The Rev. Mr. CouLsoss, Chaplain to the Swedish Embassy, rose to speak to the resolution. He wished to avail himself of this opportunity to express the g reat obligation which his native country owed to England, from the time of King Etheldred, 850 years ago, to the present time. He had had great opportunities of seeing the great advantages in Sweden of the system of education, which had been brought over from this country. There was riot a single man in Sweden but was well acquainted with the immortal name of " Lancaster," which was not only in scribed on 500 schools, but was indelibly engraved on the hearts of every one in Sweden. Several other matter-of-form resolutions were then proposed to the meeting, in the course of which Mr. Knibb, from Ja maica, the Rev. Mr. Gogerly, from India, and other gentle men, addressed the meeting in fine and eloquent harangues, which we much regret want of space wholly precludes us from publishing. A vote of thanks was passed with acclamation to the Nob Chairman, and his Lordship, having briefly acknowledged the honour, the meeting adjourned shortly before four o'clock. THE SABBATH. — But blessings, and ten thousand blessicgs, be upon that day ! and let myriads of thanks stream up to the throne of God, for his divine and regenerating gift to man. As I have sat in some flowery dale, with the sweetness of May around me, on a week day, I have thought of the mil lions of immortal creatures, toiling for their daily life in facto ries and shops, amid the whirl of machinery, and the greedy craving of mercantile gain ; and, suddenly, that golden interval of time has lain before me in all its brightness—a time, and a perpetually recurring time, in which the iron grasp of earthly tyranny is loosed, and Peace. Faith, and Freedom—the angels of God—come down and walk once more among men ! Ten thousand blessings on this day—the friend of man and beast ! The bigot would rob it of it 3 health ful freedom, on the one hand, and coop man up in his work-day dungeons, and cause him to walk with downcast eyes and demure steps; and the libertine would desecrate all his sober decorum on the other. God and the sound heart and sterling seasa of Englishmen, pre serve it from these evils ! Let us still avoid Puritan rigi dity and French dissipation. Let our children and our ser vants, and those who toil for us in vaults, and shops, and factories, between the intervals of solemn worship, have free dom to walk in the face of heaven and the beauty of earth ; for, in the great temple of nature, stand together Health and Piety. For myself, I speak from experience. It has always been my delight to go out on a Sunday, and, like Isaac, to meditate in the fields, and especially in the sweet tranquillity and amid the gathering shadows of evening; and never, in temple or closet, did more hallowed influence fall upon any heart. With the twilight and the hush of earth, a tenderness has stolen upon me—a desire for every thing pure and holy—a love for every creature on which God has stamped the wonder of his handiwork—but especially for every child of humanity ; and then I have been made to feel that there is no oratory like that which has Heaven itself for its roof, and no teaching like the teaching which the Spirit which created and still over shadows the world with its infinite wing.— William Howitt. LAW INTELLIGENCE HOUSE OF LORDS. May 9. The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. SIR L. 0. SKEFFINGTON V. BUDD.

Lord COTTENIIAM gave judgment today at four o'clock in this case, reversing the decision of the Cuurt of Session, without costs. COURT OF CHANCERY, May 9. His LORDSHIP sat to-day at Lincoln's Inn, and was engaged in hearing appeal motions. This being the last day of Easter term, the Lord Chancellor proceeded to hrar appeal motions, none of which possessed any points of public interest. llis Lordship wi►l not sit again in the Court till the first day of Trinity Term, the orders issued on Saturday with respect to the Whitsun holidays applying only to the various public offices connected with the Courts of Equity, and not to the sitting of the Courts themselves. ROLLS' COURT, May 9. This being the last day of Term, the petitions remaining to be heard were called on, when it appeared that 111 r. Pember ton, and the other Counsel engaged in them were absent, being in attendance at the House of Lords. There being in conse quence no business before the Court, Lord Langdale, after dis posing of a few consent petitions, rose at an early hour. VIOE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, May 9. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE. ) In the case of " Armytage i. Armytage," which was before his Honour on Saturday, the minutes upon which the csse came before the Court were agreed to, after some discussion at the bar. No case requiring special notice came before the Court to-day. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to-day, it being the last day of Easter Term. No case of any interest except to the parties concerned came before the Court previous to its rising. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 9. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.—THE QUEEN V. A. A. WATTS. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained by the Attorney- General, calling upon defendant, the proprietor of the United Service Gazette, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for the publication, in his jour nal, of a scandalous libel, reflecting in a most disrsting man ner on the character of Captain Morris, of Devonport. The rule came on for argument this day, and Mr. THESIGER, on the part of the defendant, retracted all the imputations made on plaintiff's character, expressed de fendant's sorrow for having made them, tendered the amplest apology, and consented to pay all the costs, if plaintiff mtuld consent to the rule being discharged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the part of the plaintiff, said his only object had been to vindicate his character from the slanderous imputations attempted to be cast on it, and that having been accomplished, he would consent to the course sug gested by his Learned Friend. TAXATION OF COSTS. Lord DENMAN, in the course of the morning, stated that it was the opinion of the Court that, in the taxation of costs, the Master ought to have more power; that the Nlaster should consider what was reasonable, and not confine himself to al lowing one consultation, if he should be of opinion that more were necessary ; that with regard to models, the greatest vigilance and care should be exercised in the allowance for them, but still that the discretion of the Master ought not be limited. A NORFOLK CONLTARLE.—THE QUEEN V UTTING. The defendant in ; this case, John Utting, who it appeared was Overseer, Surveyor of the Highways, and Constable of the village of Acle, in Norfolk, had been convicted, at the last Nor wich Assizes, of having conspired with one Anna Bunn, to falsely accuse one Daniel Durrant of rape, of which crime the said Daniel Durrant had, in consequence of such conspiracy, been convicted at the previous Assizes. Latina was this day brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. From Lord Chief Justice Tindal's notes of the evidence taken at the trial, it appeared clearly, that Durrant was inno cent of the crime laid to his charge, and that he had been con victed in consequence of the conspiracy between the defendant and Anna Bunn. The only motive for defendant's conduct seemed to be the desire to extort money from Durrant. The defendant addressed the Court in mitigation of punish ment, and stated that he was innocent of the crime of conspi racy, and that throughout he had acted solely under the direc tion of the committing Magistrates. Mr. B. ANDREWS and Mr. By LES having addressed the Court in aggravation, Mr. Justice RarrzsoN proceeded to pass the judgment on the defendant. The Court was entirely satisfied with the verdict of the Jury. It was impossible to come to any other eonclus:on than that the defendant was guilty. The offence was one of a wiost serious description. The defendant had conspired to charge a man with an offence for which death might have been the punish ment, at the time the charge was made, and, as it was, the man had suffered most severely, having been only recently released from the hulks, having been pardoned' by her Majesty. The only motive on defendant's part seemed to have been, a de termination to get some small sum of money from the man Durrant. The sentence of the Court was, that the de fendant, John Utting, be imprisoned in her Majesty's gaol of Norwich for twelve calendar months. The defendant was then removed in custody. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 9. SIMMONS 1/. SIMMONS. Thil was an action on a bill of exchange for the sum of 1,6001. The defendant did not appear at the trial, and a verdict was given against him in default. An affidavit was put in by the defendant, on a subsequent day,•Stating that he had been prevented by unexpected circumstances from appear ing ; and in that affidavit a rule was granted calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be had on condition that the defendant should pay the expenses of the first suit. _ _ This rule was now made absolute, on condition that half of the sum claimed should be paid by defendant into Court. BAIL COURT, May 2. The Court was engaged this day in hearing motions in volving points of practice, and not possessing any public interest. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COUR': These Sessions, the seventh of the present Mayoralty, corn minted yesterday before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder. Alderman Sir C. Marshall, Sir James Duke, and the Sheriffs, &c. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER. proceeded to deliver his charge to them : although the calendar contained a numerous list of prisoners, charged in some instances with offences of a most serious nature, still on the perusal of the depositions, he did not anticipate that their deliberations on the great majority of the cases would be impeded with difticultiesin point o f l aw . H e , h owever , at the same time, deemed it right to call the attention of the Grand, Jury to the case of the party charged with the crime of mur der, and that of two other parties charged as accessories to the • same crime after the fact. It would be befitting also to call the attention of the Grand Jury to another case—that of shooting with intent to murder, which took place at Wool wich, where the son-in-law of the party who received the injury presented himself at the door of his father-in-law, and upon being refused admittance, he left the place, returning shortly afterwards, and then discharging a pistol through the door, which took effect on the face of his father-in-law, the bullet lodging in his cheek. That case would be brought before the Grand Jury on a charge of shooting with intent to murder. It would appear from the evidence, that at the mo ment when the pistol was discharged the prisoner was in a state of partial intoxication, but he was bound to tell the Grand Jury that the circumstance of partial intoxication afforded no answer whatever to the charge of shooting with intent to murder ; and, in addition to that, if the depositions were correctly taken, it would appear that, when sober, the pistols were purchased by the prisoner at a pawnbroker' s a t W oo l w i c h ; t h a t th e y were afterwards seen in his possession, and that at that time he had made declarations of his intention to do mischief with them. Knowing that the prisoner had th ose d ang e rous weapons about him, and tearing from his declaration that he would commit some violence upon him, was th e cause o f th e father-in-law refusing him admission, whereupon he com mitted the crime with which he was charged. He (the Recorder) was unwilling to go further into the facts, be cause the Grand Jury would have to consider them when the evidence was presented to them ; he might, however, say this, that after reading the depositions, he thought they would come to the conclusion that the case should be put in a further train of inquiry. The other and more. im portant case to which he would call their attention was the case of a charge of murder against an individual, who was alleged to have committed. - mar& rat Roehampt on. It was a case restin g upon what way termed circumstantial evidence. Now, it was not to be expected that crimes of great magnitude, and entailing the most awful consequence on thos e who perpettatee them, would be ordinarily committed otherwise than in secret,. and it was in such cases where no eye was wit ness to the transaction, that they were compelled to resort to the aid of circa, nstantial evidence, and to collect from a variety of circumstances leading to the same conclusion, where it ap peared the fact itself had been committed; it was from such circumstances. they were to conclude whether they pointed out the party accused as the perpetrator of the crime which had been committed. He would in preference to any observations of his own, refer the Grand Jury to some observations in a work of Mr. Starkie's on the subject. That Learned Gentleman said—" It is essential to the well being at least, if not to the very existence of civil society, that it should be understood that the secrecy with which crimes are com mitted, will not ensure impunity to the offender. At the same emphatically remarked that in no case, and upon no it principle,can the policy of preventing crime and pro tecting societ y, \tenant any interference which is not founded o the n and certain conviction of the truth of the fact, independently y . eol of the nature of the evidence, and of all ex trinsic considerations whatever. Circumstance is al :owed to prevail to the conviction of an offender, not because it is necessary and p o li t i c t h at it should be resorted to, but be cause it is in its own nature ca pable of producing the highest degree of mural certaint in its applica tion." Now, to a pp l y those observation s t o the case which would probably be laid be fore the Grand J ury, they wou ld h ave to consider whether the prisoner who was charged with this offence, was last seen in the company o to have fall en b y his hands; they wou ld have also to consider wh ere the remains o f t h e par ty were found. Whether it was a place under the immediate control and key of the person charged with the offence ; whether the place in which the remains were found excluded the supposition of any other person having committed the offence, or having access to the place. They would also have to consider whether, in addition ' to the fact of the remains being found in a stable and harness room, whether, upon the proof offered, they must necessarily be inferred to be the remains of a human being, and, if they came to that conclusion, the next ques tion would lie, what, had beccu, of the articles of apparel in which the individual was last clothed, and what al , e) had become of th e p ro p ert y bel o n g in g to the deceased. If they found, after the party . was missing, the identity was attempted to be des tro y ed b y dissection of the body, and by committing part of it to the flames—if they found the remains in a room, under the lock and key of the party charged-- if they found the party charged . exclusively resorting to the spot where the remainns which found— if they found every articlei the a tely upon the incise in dividual was last seen alive dt' victual being missed and the remains.foun ) in the possession of various quarters by him , of the prisoner, and dispersed in the property, supposed they found a general breaking hp of all to belong to the deceased, by the prisoner, they would have to of . apparel. say whether he, and he rslone, was not the party concerned in the extinction of life. ,He had felt it to be his duty to make these observatio t s, not for the pu r p ose of prejudicing the case, but in order tea draw the attention of the . Grand Jury to those points which it a ppeared to h im were important that they should consider, in order to form the conclusion to which they must come, whether or n ot, upon the evidence, the party was guilty of the crime with which he was charged. It would be in evidence that the remains exhibited a healthy appear ance ; that they belonged, to a female in a somewhat advanced 'ate of pregnancy. There would be evieleace brought be fore them to prove the identity of the female, her absence, and also to show that if she were now in existence, she must be entirely without clothes. They would also have to consider the conduct of the prisoner when the remains were ' first discovered, and to draw their own conclusions from that conduct. From the whole evidence which had been laid before him, the Grand Jury would have these facts, that the pa ty was missing, that part of her remains were foand, and that the prisoner had been in possession of every article belonging to the female, immediately after the murder. He would forbear going more into the facts, they were most voluminous ; and deserved the consideration of the Grand Jury in an eminent degree; it did, however, appear to him subject to the better judgment of the Grand Jury, that there was ample evidence in the depositions to justify them—indeed to render it their imperative duty to put the present most solemn case in a state of further inquiry. There were two other par ties charged as accessories after the fact. Now, with regard to the evidence against the accessories, assuming the proof of the principal felony established, it was as against them to be proved that knowing that the murder had been committed they harboured,comforted, aided, and assisted the party committing the crime. Against the two persons charged as accessories, there was not a great deal of evidence ; but there was some that one of the parties stood in the relation of wife to the party charged with the murder ; if such a as the case, there were difficulties with respect to her, because it hail been expressly laid down in works of the greatest authority, and especially by Lord Hale in his Pleas of the Crown, that if the husband committed a felony, and the wife knew it, and received and harboured him, she could not be considered in the light of an accessory for such receiving ; but the contrary was the case where the felony was committed by the wife. But evidence might be shown, in the present case, that the party charged was not the wife ; and then she would be subject to no such exemption. But to the other • party charged these observations did not apply ; and if it ap peared that he willingly sheltered the man, and received goods from him belonging to the deceased, there would be no difficulty on the part of the Grand Jury in putting his case in a course of further enquiry. On the whole, he thought that in both cases it would be better to put them under public trial, by sending them before the Pettit Jury. The Learned Judge, I after adverting to some of the other cases, concluded by re mitting the Grand Jury to the stiacharge of their duties. 'the Court then proceeded to swear in the Pettit Jury. The Common Jury having been sworn, Mary Flem . nzing, aged 30, who stood remanded from the last session, was indicted for feloniously stealing one shawl, the property of Thomas Robinson, of Charlton-street, Somers Town, This was a common case of larceny. The shawl was hanging at the prosecutor's door, and was snatched from the plaie where it was hanging, by some one outside, and shortly afterwards was found in the possession of the prisoner. From the evidence, it appeared that the shawl was found in the possession of the prisoner within five minutes after it was missed from the shop of the prosecutor. The prisoner said in her defence that a person whom she did not know had given her the shawl to hold. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, as they thought by that means the conscience of the prisoner would te touched, and therefore her present situation would act as a warning to her. The RECORDER said they had nothing to do with the con science of the prisoner in returning their verdict. The Foreman of the Jury said they had come to the deter mination of acquitting the prisoner, as some of the Jurymen entertained a doubt, and therefore gave the benefit of it to the prisoner. The prisoner was consequently discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Owing to Mr. Hall's continued indisposition, Mr. Jardine sat for that gentleman again yesterday. EarraieSlVE ROBBERY.— Charles and Henry Wilson, two respectably attired young men, were charged with the follow ing impudent robberies. Rd. Stephen Waylett stated that he was a watchmaker and jeweller, residing at No. 226, Oxford-street. On Monday, May 2. about two o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoners shove to his shop in a very superior horse and chaise. The prisoner Henry . went into his shop, and said a lady wanted to purchase some jewellery. He told witness to take some watches and rings to his residence, No 74, Connaught-terrace. Charles re mained in the chaise all the time the order was given. Wit ness immediately picked up some rings and watches, and went off to Connaght-terrace. On arriving these he rang the bell, and said to a female who opened the dour, that he had come with some jewellery for Mr. Matthews. The girl said it was all right, and asked him to walk in. Witness was shown into the parlour, and there he saw the two prisoners Henry asked about the rit.gs, and witness showed him some. Henry then said to the other prisoner, " Is she dressed vet ?" and Charles said " No, not yet." Charles then took some of the rings out of the room and returned, say ing that one of them fitted her exactly. Henry then asked about the watches, and witness produced four gold, five silver, and two metal ones, value 451; Henry remarked that witness had brought a nice assortment, and he rang tie bell and or dered the servant to bring up a waiter ; the waiter was brought up, and Charles put all the watches on it and went out of the room. Henry then began talking about his horse, the wea ther, and common-place conversation, and pressed witness to take a glass of wine ; witness refused at first, but prisoner said he must take something, the lady was so long choosing ; wit then acquiesced, and said he would take a glass of port, and the prisoner left the room, and not returning, witness became very uneasy, arid in about ten minutes he rang the bell and the land. lady came up ; witness asked her if she had selected a watch of his yet, and she replied " Oh, do you know Mr. Matthews?" Witness then thought that a trick had teen played him ; and he went to the door and called out " police;'' the police soon came, but they did not appear to attach any suspicion to the persons in the house ; witness described the person of the prisoners, issued bills, &c., for their apprehension, and he re ceived intimation this morning that the prisoners had been taken. Witness also identified a watch which had been found upon one of the prisoners as one of those which he had lost. Thompson, the constable, requested the Magistrate to adjourn the examination as there were a great number of cases against the prisoners; there were upwards of 20 cases in London, and a great number of country cases from Brighton, Ramsgate, Gravesend, &c. Another case was gone into of a similar character, in which the prosecutor was a draper, residing in Sr. Martin's-lane, who had sent about 12/. worth of drapery goods to No. 7, Lei cester-place, and had been served in precisely the same way. The Court was crowded with persons who were anxious to prefer charges against the prisoners, but as Thompson was very anxious for an adjournment, Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners till to-morrow week. MARLBORO GH-STREET OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.— Sarah Berry a respectable looking middle-aged female, was charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. William Evans, shopman to Messrs. Swan and Edgar, of No. 110, Piccadilly, silk mercers, lacemen, &c., stated, that on Monday last the prisoner came to his employer's shop, and represented that she had been sent by a cus- tomer of the firm, Mrs. Thomas, of No. 9, Dover street, Piccadilly, dress-maker and milliner, for some blond lace-fringe and other articles, to the amount of 1/. 35., with which she was served, and went away. On the bill being sent in to Mrs. Thomas, she stated that she had not sent for the goods in question, or authorised the prisoner to obtain them in her name. The prisoner had nothing to say in her defence, and was com mitted to take her trial at the Central Criminal Court. William Lorimer, about fifty years of age, of very gen tlemanly appearance, was charged with attempting to commit suicide under the following circumstances : Mr. Joins Wetherall, of No. 2, Dean-street, Oxford - treet, coffee-house keeper, stated that about six weeks ago the prisoner came to lodge at his house, and la .d continued to reside there up to the present time. He nad, it appears, come to London from Dunkirk, where his family and his children were now staying, his wife having been out of her mind, and a patient in a lunatic asylum in this country. The purpose of his journey here was to ascertain whether he had a claim to certain estates in Suffolk, left by the late Francis Gosling, Esq., of Norwich. He had possessed considerable property in some coal mines in Monmouth shire, and within 'the last eighteen mouths load lost 12,0001. by the breaking of one of the Welch banks. His supposed claim to the Suffolk estates had, it seems, been submitted to legal consideration, and was found to be untenable. On Sunday evening, about six o'clock, he returned home much the worse for liquor, and ordered some tea to be prepared for him, but before it could be got ready, he fell asleep, and tumbling off his seat, struck himself a violent blow on the head. Witness then as sisted him up into his bedroom, and was endeavouring to induce him to go to bed, when he took a penknife out of his waistcoat pocket, and attempted to cut his throat. Witness, however, was just in time to prevent his doing so, and seizing his arm, wrested the knife from him, in doing which the blade was broken. He then asked to go to the window, as he said, he felt faint, and the fresh air would revive him. Witness consented, and kept by the side of him to prevent his throwing himself out, but on reaching the window-seat he snatched up a razor, which witness had not observed lying there, and opening it at tempted to draw it across his throat, but witness rushed upon him, and after a desperate struggle, in sshich both his and the prisoner's hands were severely cut, he suc ceeded in getting possession of the razor, and considering that the prisoner ought to be placed under restraint, he called the police and gave him into custody. The prisoner said he was extremely sorry for what had occurred. Mr. MALTBY inquired if lie had any friends in Lon don ?—The prisoner said not one. His relatives and friends all resided in Monmouthshire and at Norwich. At the latter place was Sir William Forster, of the firm of Foster and Unthank, attorneys, with whom he had been in communication respecting the Suffolk estates. Mr. MALTBY said that the presence of mind and cou rage of Mr. Wetherall deserved the greatest commen dation. It was ultimately arranged that Mr. Wetherall should see Mr. Lorimer provided with a lodging for the night, and in the morning see him embarked for Dunkirk, to which the unfortunate man expressed his willingness. UNION HALL. Edward Tones was charged with being engaged in illegal distillation, and attempting to set the place on tire. John Court, an excise-officer, stated that receiving informa tion that a private still was at work at a house in Wellington street, Blackfriars, he went there at four o'clock with three other officers. Having entered the house by force, they saw the defendant, who was in his shirt sleeves in the passage, and he ran into the still-room, in which there was a quantity of molasses wash in a state of fermentation, and also several gal lons of strong spirits in the still, under which there was a fire. The defendant immediately ran into the still-room, and taking a pan of strong spirits, he threw the contents of it into the fire, and in a moment the place was in a blaze. He was fined 301., and in default of payment he was corn mitted for three months. I,ine MIM11•211a The Journal du Havre of Wednesday states that within the preceding two days not less than 202 trading vessels including coasters, entered that port. _ _ The Commerce Beige announces that the British Queen steam-packet took her first departure from Antwerp for New York at ten in the morning of Wednesday last, under a salute of artillery. She had a great many passengers on board, and the crowd assembled to witness her getting under weigh was very great. The installation of the Duke of Northumberland, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, is fixed for Men day the 4th July. The Duke of Wellington has accepted an invitation to be present. PARLIAMENTARY GRANT FOR SCIENTIFIC LEC TURES IN CORK.—The Government, says Lord Eliot, has finally determined to increase from 20/. to 3001. the grant for the purpose of enabling the Royal Dublin Society, upon appli cation, to send qualifi: d persons to give lectures whenever the travelling expenses of the lecturer, and a reasonable proportion of the Remuneration, shall be locally subscribed by the parties making the application. This addition to the amount of the grant will, it is hoped, enable the Council of the Royal Dublin Society to further the wishes expressed by the inhabitants of Cork to receive the benefit of lectures during the whole of the year, instead of only a portion of it, as at present. BROKEN PLEDGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlTL,—The requisition, of which I inclose a copy, is in course of signature at Bridport, and a requisition, having in view the same object, is being signed by the non-electors of that bo rough. Your insertion of the requ sition in your valuable pal er may have some effect on those miserable renegades, who forfeit their pledges to promote their private ends. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Bridport, May 7, 1842. AN ELECTOR. " TO THOMAS ALEXANDER MITCHELL, ESQ., M.P. " Sir,—We, the undersigned electors of Bridport, who sup ported you at the late election for this Borough, have noticed with the greatest surprise and disappointment your late votes in favour or the Corn Bill and the Income-tax, votes which are directly opposed to your declarations on the hustings, as well as to the views and wishes of your constituents. Nothing cou'd be more energetic and decided than your repeated de nunciations of the sliding scale, both in your public speeches and in private conversations ; yet in the tare of these denun ciations you have taken the first opportunity in your power to vote for its continuance. " Under the baneful operation of this system our trade has been gradually dwindling away, and is now in such a state of depression that our industrious population are on the verge of starvation for want of employment. The sources of income being thus dried up, you have thought proper to assist the Tory Minister in saddling the country with a tax upon income—a tax most inquisitorial and vexatious in its character, and unfair in its operation ; a measurelevery way abhorrent to the feel ings of Englishmen, and to which, as the honest and faithful representative of our opinions you were bound to have offered the most determined opposition. " Seeing, then, that you have thus deserted the cause to which you professed yourself attached, and allied yourself to the party to which we have always been opposed — to the band of' mo nopolists who fatten at the expense of the rest of the com munity ; '''—giving your support to their most obnoxious measures, in direct opposition to the declarations upon the strength of which we sent you to Parliament, we consider that we shall not be discharging our duty to our ourselves, or to our country, without calling upon you to resign a situation which you occupy so little to the satisfaction of those who placed you in it, and restore to us the trust you have so impro perly abused. " We are, Sir, " Your's very respectfully. " See your printed address. Dujardin, the gendarme stationed at Cambrai, who on the 27th December last shot through the heart and killed the widow 'fhezin, to whom he had been engaged to be mar ried, and afterwards attempted to commit suicide, of which events we gave an account at the time, was on Friday last brought to trial before the Court of Assizes for the department of the Nord. The facts of the marriage having been fully agreed upon, the contract signed, and the publication of the banns having been made with the assent of the family of the widow, who had agreed that Dujai din should have the guardianship of her two children by her former husband, and also of his having killed his intended in the manner already mentioned, and then attempted to destroy himself, were fully proved, and indeed admitted by Dujardin himself. But in his defence he stated that as the day of marriage approached, the role, ions of Madame Thezin interfered to prevent it, and endeavoured to fill her mind with prejudice against him. On Christmas day she was so depressed, he said, by the opposition to her wishes, that she declared her resolut.on to destroy herself. He, as he asserted, resisted this determination 01 the 27th, when after having dined and sent her children back to chool, she renewed her melancholy proposals, and at length de clared that her resolution was fixed, adding that if he really loved her he would die with her. Upon this he went to his barracks and got two pistols, one belonging to the service, and the other a pocket pistol. With these they went up to her chamber, where after writing the letter of adieu to his lieutenant, recommending to his care the orphans of the widow, and his own horse, they embraced each other for the last time, and each taking a pistol levelled it at the breast of the other and fired. His own ball told, and Ma dame Thezin dropped down dead. Her fire, however, missed, and thereupon he attempted to destroy himself, but did not succeed. Dujar, in's account was in many points contradicted. Al. Ducange, the notary, who had drawn up the marriage contract, deposed that on December 24, Madame Thezin desired him to annul the contract, for she was deter mined not to marry again, as her heart was pot engaged. Dujardin also admitted that on the 22d he received a letter from hf.r, desiring him not to come to her house again, as she could not love him, and every thing was at an end be tween them ; but this he attributed to the influence of her brother, who was against the marriage. This the brother, who appeared as a witness, positively denied. The trial lasted till half. past eleven at night, when the Jury returned a verdict of guilty ofmurder, but without premeditation, and with ex tenuating circumstances ; upo❑ which the Court sentenced the prisoner to hard labour at the hulks for twenty yei-,rs. Du jardin has appealed to the Court of Cessation. A PRIMITIVE PARISH.—The account of the parish of Johnstone, Dumfriesshire. in the New Statistical Account of Scotland, is thus concluded.—" Finally, in this very popu lous rural parish, we have neither public-house, nor meeting house, nor resident surgeon, nor village, nor post-office, nor prison, nor lawyer, nor beggar." A PRINCELY PuEsENT.—Mr. Griffiths has manu factured, and sent as a present to the Prince of Wales, a brace of guns, which, though complete in all parts, weigh o,dy one ounce and a half, and a fourpenny piece. The individual, al though only a young man, manufactured all the parts, we are told, with his own hands.— Staffordshire Examiner. TILE NEW CORN-LAW.—For the present not a bushel of foreign wheat can be imported into this country, or at least brought into the market. For the week ending April 29th, the average price of homegrown wheat was 60s. 7d. per qr. At the latest accounts from Dantzic the medium price of wheat was 50s. ; add to this 3s. freight and 13s. duty, and the cost of every quarter brought to the port of London would exceed that of home-grown produce by ss. bd. Again at Stettin, by accounts reaching to the 23d ult., 488. fs as the price of rally good samples; average freight to any port in Britain, 3s. 6d. ; duty, of course, as above ; in all 645. 6d., or 3s. 9d. beyond the present price of home wheat. Even in regard to barley and oats, about which growers have enter tained deeper apprehensions, their fears are equally groundless. The average price of home barley for the week ending April 29th was 275. 3d. At Hamburgh the same week the best quality could not have been shipped under Ids., and freight 3s. 6d., and duty 10s., and the product is 4s. 3d. above the rate of the home market in the end of last month.—Berwick Advertiser. " THE RAIL," v. "THE ROAD."—A narrative by a Portsmouth coachman, now in good health I have lived to see the Portsmouth mail coach put on, and I have lived to see it taken off. Except one coach, I have lived to see all the London roaches put on, and it seems as if I should live to see them all taken off; though, at one time, there were ten up and ten down every day, and one three times a week. These coaches, if only half filled, must have taken 176 passengers every twenty-four hours, to and from Ports mouth. The one coach, when I was a boy ; was two days and one night on the road; it went to Guildford en the first day, where the passengers slept for the night, and went into London next day. The turnpikes were not then finished. The mail was brought by a man or boy on horseback ; I brought it from Petersfield. and got into Portsmouth at two in the afternoon. After that a diligence was put, on, that carried three passengers, and sometimes went empty. Then Mr. Palmer put the mail coach on, that carried four ; prior to which the way of travelling was on horse, with a guide— the guide went to bring the horse back. As for gong on foot 'twas not safe, there were so many foot-pads about ; and there was not a public-house between Halfway-house and iMousehill but what had five or six saddle horses ready for pas sengers to ride on the way to and from London and Portsmouth. After the roads were made good, it was thought a great feat for a man riding with an express to go up to London and ba, k in a long summer day ; now it is to be done in nine hours. Oh ! these railroeds I Besides having ruined the road, what will the farmers do with their hay, oats, and straw ?—T. S." -- Hampshire Telegraph. A short time ago, as the Neapolitan brig St. Michael was on her way from Palermo to Algiers, when at about 20 leagues from the coast, she picked up a man, who was fund floating at large and alone in an open boat. He said that he belonged to the steamer Styx ; that having been left sick in an hospital, he had become wearied of his confinement, made his escape, got into the boat, and was driven out to sea, where he had been four days supporting himself by economising a small quantity of provisions he brought with him. As the man's clothes were saturated with wet, the Captain lent him a suit of his own, and brought him into Toulon. Being about to sail again, the Capt +in wished to have his own clothes, and on look ing up those of the pretended sailor, in order to restore them, he found that they composed the prison -dress of a military con vict. An investigation was made, and the sailor of the Styx was identified as a delinquent soldier, and placed in the hands of his officers. The Antwep Company's steam-ship, Princess Vic teria, Captain Minter, arrived here yesterday morning, after a passage of twenty-two hours, against a violent contrary wind. The voyage out to Antwerp occupied only nineteen hours. Lady Lawson and family, the Hon. Mr. Bligh, Mr. Tierney, &c., were amongst the passengers. The National says—" General Bour;olly, who was as our readers will remember, in consequence of compl a i nts made by him against the manner in which certain contractors, protected by the Government, fulfilled their engagements, put on the retired list, and placed under arrest for a month in the citadel of Lille, and who afterwards continued to refuse making any concession, has at last, it is said, been again put on full pay, and seat to the camp at Luneville." One of the finest specimens in the kingdom of the Glyeene Synensis, or Wisteria Consequana, a plant imported from China, is new in full blossom, in the nursery grounds of Messrs. Newman, Chichester, and has within the last week been visited by most of the florists of that neighbourhood. The tree extends along a wall 60 feet in length, and 10 feet high, the whole of which space is literally covered with masses of towers of the most exquisite beauty and fragrance. On Monday last, a farmer of the village of Bize nistos, near Pau, was returning home from the fair of Mon trojeau, with the money be had received from the sale of a yoke of oxen, when he was induced to enter a public-house on the road, and there became intoxicated to such a degree that he was unable to move, and his companions carried him into a barn, in order, as they said, that he might sleep off the fumes of the liquor. On Tuesday morning he was found dead, hanging to one of the beams. At first it was believed he had committed suicide, but the fact of all his money having been taken from him, and ether circumstances, gave conviction that he had been both robbed and murdered. The little town of Vitteaux, in the department of the Cote d'Or, was last week visited by a violent storm, ac companied by an extraordinary fall of rain. The town was soon flooded, and great damage was done by the water bursting into the houses through the doors and windows Four persons were drowned. A few days ago, says. the Sentinelle de Jura, the electric fluid entered at Alesney, near Arbois, the house of a miller, named Jour-d'hui, through a window, breaking the large stone below. The miller's wife was struck on the neck, and a gold chain which went three times round it was broken in six pieces. Her dress was burnt, as well as two handker chiefs which she wore. The fluid appears to hays run down her body, for her shoulders, hip, and leg were scorched, and her socking was burnt to some extent. It at last made its exit by the ceiling, passed through the garret, overtu+ued part of the wall, and set fire to a cherry-tree 15 , feet from the house. Two other women who were in the room with Madame Jour-d'hui were unhurt. M. Charles Maurice, the proprietor, and M. Le maitre, the responsible editor 'of a journal called the Courtier des Theatres, appeared on Wednesday befsre the Correctional Tribunal, to answer a charge of having fraudulently evaded the law, requiring that the responsible editor of a daily journal should be the real owner of one-third of the cautionnemsat of 100,000 f. It was proved that M. Lemaitre was not in this position, and that M. Charles Maurice had provided the funds for him, in order that he might take his own p ace as a respon s ble editor, and thus relieve him from the consequences of condemnation for libel. They were both found gu lty, and ordered to pay a fine of 10,000 f., each being liable to the whole fine in the event of non-payment of any portion by the other. The Tribunal also ordered the suppression of the journal. The Polish Literary Society celebrated on Tuesday the fiftieth anniversary of the Polish Constitu'ion of 1791. AP the Poles in Paris, and a great many foreigners, were pre sent. Prince Czartoriski presided, and delivered a speech, in which he expressed the gratitude of himself and his country men for the asylum granted to the refugees by both France and England. Several other Poles of distinction also expressed the same sentiments. THE ITARKETS—YFSTERDAY. c: !RN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals of English gr in were moderate, but good of Irish Oats The f esh supply was also moderate. Wheat, both Engli,h and foreign, maintained their former value, with a slack demand.

Five pieces of cannon and two howitzers, talken from the troops of Abd-el-Kader, have just been received in Paris, nom the Governor-General of Algeria. They are plsa:ea in the Ariillery Arsenal, Place St. I horuas d'Aquin ; they are of very small calibre, and mounted on carriages with only two wheels, which were drawn by hand. The Leipsic Gazette states from Vienna, April 2.6, that M. Pageot has entirety failed in his mission respecting the ma riage of Queen Isabella, and that the Cabinet of Vienne has reivaed to express any opinion on the subject until it ahoula have consulted the Cabinets of Berlin and St. Ptter-burg. Yesterday morning, at halt-past twelve o'clock, as a spirited horse, belonging to Mr. Jonathan Chuter, carpenter' 35, Duke-street, Lambeth, was proceeding along the Waterlo road, with one of his light vans, it took fright shortly attar it had passed over the bridge, and ran at full speed against the railings of No. 62, corner of Stamford street. Toe horise' o neck was impaled on the iron spikes of the railings, and he wai killed on the spot. The shafts of the van were smashed to atoms, but the driver escaped uninjured. The value of the horse was forty guineas. The Government of Lucerne. has addressed a cir cular to all the other Cantons of Switzerland, inviting them to come to a definitive resolution in the affair of the convents of Argau. THE ARNIY.—We are glad to find that the autho rities at the Horse Guards have at last found. cut their mistake in permitting so long a period to have elapsed before they made arrangements to have a sufficient supply of light cavelry to relieve our Indian regiments, and also to send out ex , ra ones. when occasions like the present call for them. We now hear that it is immediately contemplated to have the light cavalry regiments commence from No. 1, and end as at present with No. 17 ' • consequently tour of the heavy regiments will b e equipped as light (the same as the 3d and 4th heavy were some few years ago for a similar purpose). This force will at once afford a sufficient supply for any emergency, and alloys of a relief to the Indian regiments, at least in every twenty years, which every one knows is a pretty long banishment froso one's country in a tropical climate. We also hear that regular 2d battalions are to to be formed out of the new-(angled oil companies which will he a great and manifest improvement net the present experiment; indeed, our military force will have to be greatly increased before the end of the year ; and map)' more •e'd battalions (besides those alluded to) will have ..to b e raised, as it is quite out of the question going on with our pre sent military eseiblishment.—Navai and Military Gazette. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCILTY.—The anniversary mee t ,: ing was held on Saturday, and was very numerously att en df o o Professor Wilson, the Director, in the chair. On the m otio of 'Sir Alexander Johnstone, seconded by Sir George Steer; ton, Bart., M.P., Lord Fitzgerald end 'Vesey, chairman of : he . Board of Control, was elected President, in the roons,,e, f ac ie late lamented Earl of Munster.

Although be opportunity of distinguishing himself in the Pindaree war a soldier, yet he obtained great reputation for his unhesitating and active benevolence in rescuing the native troops and earnp followers from the fatal effects of cholera, and by his judiciou s administration of remedies many lives were saved. Th e loss which the Society had sustained by death was less than usual, nutwthstanding the casualties from the recent disasterst in Affghanistan. At the head of these was Sir Alexande r Burnes, than whom few had in so short a period of active se r yiee occupied a greater share in the public interest, whilst 'foe had fallen more generally lamented. Amonst other casuitties' were Sir Thomas Strange, the first Recorder of Madre s, to which he was appointed in 1795, Professor Herren, of Crottic gen, and Professor (Altman Frank, of Munich. The total loss of contributing members in the part year was 20, and the nuns' ber of elections 14, besides two honorary and one foreign mete' ber. The Society had received many valuable presents during the part year, including a choice collection of beautiful Persia° 111 Ss., bequeathed by the late Mr. N. B. Edmonstone, 8° volumes of Oriental M SS. and printed books, principally Turk ish, from the late General "homes Gordon, and ,everal Chinese works from Sir George Staunton. DARING ROBBERY AT THE POST-OFfiCE, SAINT MARTIN'S-LE-GRAND.—A few minutes before four o'clod' on Saturday afternoon, when the windows of the " Moss° r s , Order office " were thronged with a crowd of persons, eagO reaching over each other's shoulders for the purpose of haertding, in their orders, and getting them cashed before the strikf_ne the clock should put a stop to the business of the day, a gen tleman named Marriott, who is a Manchester warehouses's° residing in '1 hames-street, had his pocket picked of a pocke t , book containing bank- notes and bills of exchange to the a nsioso` of nearly a hundred pounds. Some time since a female named Spitzer died A t Algiers, by taking poison instead of a medicine which had bel, oroered for her. 'the druggists, two partners, who caused th' melancholy result, and their shopman, were brought to trial' and condemned, the two former to three, and the latter to fou r months' imprisorimeot, for their negligence in administering poison by mistake The affair, however, did not end here: 'l e learn from Algiers that. the three children of Madame Spitzer, having brought an action for damages against the druggi , "' they have been condemned to pay 60Uf. a year to ea c h of th e children until of age. A correspondent writes from Rome :—" None o , f the offers as yet made for the acquisition of the late Cardinal Fesch's splendid collection of paintings have been adequate t e their acknowledged value ; but among the lovers of the 61 ': arts whose arrival at Rome is daily expected, there are 50",.. to who come with serious intentions of treating for this assetoblaV of master-pieces, which although so nunaerons, ought never to be separated from each other."
