Govitt called upon the attorney, and told him not to pay over the money to Conybeare, as she and White had stolen the money from one of his drawers; but in a month afterwards he called again upon the at torney and told him it was all a mistake about the rob bery, and the money was handed over by the attorney to the female defendant in the presence of Govitt, who tigned his name to the receipt for it. In a short time afterwards the two defendants went before a magistrate and made oath that White had made a false key, with which, in the presence of Conybeare, he opened one of the drawers, and told her to take out 10 sovereigns. A warrant was granted and the plaintiff was apprehended, when about 2,000 persons were present at an agricultu ral meeting. He was locked up all night, and the next day he was taken before the magistrate, who, having heard the case, dismissed it—hence the present action. The defence was a reasonable and probable cause. Ultimately a verdict was returned for the plaintiff— Damages, 150/. C"TR A CT for COPPER. Department of the Storekeeper-General of the Navy, Somerset-place, April 10, 1i149.

I say approbation, because I thus construe your invitation. Of my political life you have taken note—and noting, have approved. You say that my past actions have been such as to will your confi dence. To those acts I must refer you, as the best and most com plete evidence of my political opinions. Eighteen years ago, when for the first time I was about to solicit the suffrages of my country men, in the hope that they would place me in the proud position of a representative of the people, I stated at some length the principles which would guide my conduct upon all the great questions of policy which then occupied the attention of the nation. To that statement I could now refer, and for the same purpose • I could refer to it, not only as an exposition of my private opinions, but as a test by which to try the consistency of my performance and my professions. The experience of many years has, I hope, made me wiser, and taught me the mode most conducive to the practical application of the prin ciples which I profess—but from the principles themselves I have not eparted. The years that have elapsed since 1832 have indeed settled very few of the questions which at that period interested and divided the whole people. We have advanced,—and arc advancing—but at every step the contest of opinions is renewed, and we have almost every day to re-state the arguments by which each separate victory has keen obtained. On the great and leading questions of constitutional reform, though much has been done, much remains to be accomplished. The many anomalies of our electoral system have yet to be removed —a fuller scope must be given to the popular will—and numerous classes who are now unwisely excluded must be brought within the pale of the Constitution. Every statesman who really desires here after to provide for the well-being of the people will seriously con sider the question of the suffrage, in order to bring about speedily, though cautiously, a large extension of it. My opinion as to the best mode of taking the votes at elections I have seen no reason to change. In order that opinion may be freely expressed, the ballot seems to me absolutely indispensable. In short, though the Reform Act was a great step in advance, still the increasing intelligence of the country demands, and will in its proper time attain, a reform of the Reform Act. Although we cannot hope to win and retain complete good govern ment itself without perfection in the means, yet we must not post- Pone all other reforms until those of the Constitution are attained. Our endeavours may at the same time be directed to many objects, and I therefore proceed to touch upon some which appear at the present moment of the highest importance. Though, in my opinion, a Government cannot do much directly to Procure wealth and comfort for a people, it can, and unfortunately does, do much improperly to diminish their substance, and thereby their comfort. Unnecessary expense—unmeaning, mischievous re strictions upon the industrious labours of the people, have in all ages been the vice of Governments. But the vigilance of the popu lar leaders must now be directed to curb this evil—not only must we, then, enforce a rigid economy, but we must require that a perfectly free trade should give full scope for the active energies of an indus trious nation. Connected with this subject in many ways, and with the well being of mankind in many more, is the great subject of colonization. The colonies of England. have been planted in spite of the mischie vous interference, and not by the aid of the Government of England. It is high time that the intelligence of her people should act upon our Tillers, and make them directly useful in extending our name, our language, our institutions, and the blessings of an enlightened religion, ever the vast regions which nominally own our rule, but which lie useless to us and to mankind To this end, it appears to me that the whole subject of our colonies calls for a complete and immediate revision. While speaking of expense, and the impolicy and injustice of our Conduct towards certain outlying portions of our territories, I must not forget a part of the empire itself, an integral and most important portion of the United Kingdom—l mean unfortunate Ireland. Our conduct to Ireland has been, till a few years since, one continued act of terrible injustice ; and we now wonder that the people, whom we have treated as slaves for centuries, should not have the virtues and habits of free men. There is now but one course of wise policy as regards Ireland. We must establish rigid justice throughout the land. We must suffer no party, no sect, no class to domineer over any other; and to this maintenance of peace among her hitherto contending sons, our efforts must he confined. If we do More, we shall do serious injustice to the people of England and Scotland, and render no service to those of Ireland. If we were to morrow to transter the whole wealth of England to Ireland, we should only create waste, idleness, and vice. A people must work out their own regeneration, and acquire wise, frugal, and virtuous habits, by leading a wise, frugal, and virtuous life. The wealth that is not acquired by labour is but too often squandered in ex travagance. I have spoken above of extending over our wide and yet unsettled territories the inestimable benefits of an enlightened religion. This naturally calls my attention to the situation of religion among our selves, both as regards doctrines and establishments. lam myself a member of the Church of England. I was Oda • sated as a member of the Established Church ; and after a care!ul consideration I have seen no reason to leave the fellowship of my childhood and youth. But this determination ha; been formed after consideration, and is the result of my own will, utterly independent of that of any other man. What, then, I have demanded for myself —the right that I have vindicated in my own person—l demand for all others. I insist upon religious as well as civil liberty. If my mind he enthralled by arbitrary will, and not led by the suasion of reason, I am snore a slave than if you put my body in chains. While I demand for all this freedom, which I have exercise I myself, I Proceed yet further. I hold every coercion on this subject impolitic, as well as unjust, You may compel to outward observance, and to fa'se declarations ; you may create hypocrisy and discontent ; but at W. rd of command you cannot make men believe. With this view, therefore, I am led to deprecate, on all proper Occasions, every attempt to make establishments which exist for the Purpose of promoting any peculiar religious opinion State establish ments. In a country like ours, of complicated relations, of long established habits and opinions, I cannot expect that my opinions on such a subject should be immediately acceded to; and I am not prone to teel hurt or to take offence when I find men differ from me concerning it. But though we cannot change at once what has been long established, we can far more easily prevent new steps in a wrong direction ; and, therefore, to any extension of such religious estab lishments I shall direct unceasing opposition. Within the narrow limits of an address like the present. I cannot do more than indicate my views, and touch upon the leading opinions I hold. From this general view, however, an accurate conception can be 'attained by you of the political character of the min you have invited; and an opportunity will, I hope, be soon afforded me Of explaining, to the satisfaction of all whom the matter may in •terest, my present feelings and future plans respecting our domestic policy. Any exposition, however general, which omitted a reference to our foreign relations and policy would be indeed incomplete. My belief on this subject is, that our true policy consists in abstaining from all Idle intermeddiing with the affairs of other nations. Every nation in Europe has at this time enough to occupy its attention in settling its own affairs ; and the history of Europe, from the year -4830 to the present time, when compared with the history of Europe from 1793 to 1815, is the best argument which historical experience can offer - in' favour of leaving a people to regulate and arrange for themselves - their owninternal affairs. Interference in 1793 kindled the flames of war over the whole world—a war unequalled for the blood that was shed and the wealth squandered in its terrible and disastrous conflicts. Non-interference in 1830 has allowed Europe a chance of peace, and holds out to us a hope that the struggling people will, in every nation of the great European family, eventually attain the inestimable benefits of a well-regulated popular Govern ment. I must end, Gentlemen, as I began, by expressing to you my hearty thanks for the honour you have conferred on me, and by placing myself at your disposal, for the coming election. I an ready, when it shall so p 1 ase you, to present myself to your notice, and submit to all such inquiry as you may think right. flaying nothing to conceal, I have no fear of inquiry. I beg to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and faithful Servant, J. A. ROEBUCK. T HE NICOLL.—REGENT-STREET and CORNIIILL. BESIDES the above Patented Article, there is another Novelty introduced for this Season which is however, Registered, and consists in a BODY GARMENT some what in the form of a Dress-coat, that is to say, a Gentleman can wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, It necessarily avoids the stiff formality to Os observed in the cut and form of . the Dress-coat. The price is - TWO GUINEAS. the same as charged at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL, for THE REGISTERED PALETOT, witick is likewise now ready for the Spring months, with all the new and patented improvements included in the above moderate price; thus it deservedly bears the name of being not only the most fashionable but also the cheapest and most durable garment ever offered to the Public, the Intrinsic value of the material known as NICOLLIAN or LLAMA CLO being, within the last few months, much enhanced, the same durability being retained, with an increased fineness and beauty in appearance. It can be seen ready for imme diate wear, in every size, at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, COIINUILL, but IT is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession until it is produced In a complete form and ready for the inspection of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage of their Royal llighnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, and all others distinguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court, the Pulpit, and the Bar. At 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL, there is to be seen THE NICOLL.—A patented garment and pos sessing this peculiarity, that whilst in its exterior it preserves every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply detaching an inner 11 ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer. This same inner lining, 'chest detached, of itself forms a most comfortable reading or dre.sing jacket. There are many other advantages con tained In TILE NICOLL, rendering it as a garment a most valuable adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can bo had in Lon don only at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, end 22, CORNIIILL, an 1 T is perhaps unnecessary here to state that Messrs. Nicor,L will endeavour to deserve and retain the eminent position they have attained through the employment and liberal payment of the best skill and talent that can be net with in order to Introduce articles of gentlemanly costume in the most perfect taste. Messrs. N. are well aware that their great popularity induced by the high character exhibited in every point of the Registered I'aletot, &c., &c., has caused many to assume a somewhat similar title for their goods, but the copy has consisted only in a close re semblance of the name but not of the article; a careful observance of the annexed address is therefore respectfully solicited, where the above garments can only be obtained in London. 11.

VERSE FOR MY PURSE Come, safe preserver of my valued cash, . Thy praise I'll sing, though Shakspere calls thee trash. Much do I owe to thee, thou treasured thing, And therefore 'tie but right that I should sing. All that I wear, and all I eat and drink, Are but the produce of tky current chink; And wheresoever, therefore, thou art conn'd, I view thy contents as a magic wand. Like everything, thou may'st be rightly used, And likewise may'st be equally abused. Bet I am one who would consult my purse, In buying goods for better or for worse. Thy gold and silver treasures, if we ponder, Is far too costly—far too scarce to squander; And therefore in my purchases in trade, I always go where savings can be made. And never do I carelessly disburse The Whites and Yellows of my well-wrought purse. In dress, for instance, I would always buy MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE, Which ranks so high. At MOSES' Warehouse, everywhere renowned, Cheapness and quality are always found. I never once have found it the reverse, Though often there I've drawn my silken purse. THE HATS AND BOOTS OF MOSES Also show That quality is high, and price is low. And really more than ever do I see The very little hole they make in thee. Hence I again to MOSES will repair, And snake a good—a moderate purchase there. Again with MOSES will I draw my purse, ' I can't do better—but I could do worse, And thus concludes this tributary verse. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors of shares in the East Indian Railway Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate• street, yester day, at one o'clock, for the purpose of considering and discussing a communication received hy the Board from the Court of Directors, comprising " the terms and conditions proposed by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, for the construction of a line of railway in the Bengal Presidency," and of considering and deciding on the proceedings to be adopted in reference thereto. The chair was taken by H. A. AGLIONBY, ESQ., M.P., who called upon the secretary to read the communications which had been received from the Court of Directors, and the terms and conditions referred to therein. Mr. D. I. NO AD, the Secretary, then read those documents as follows : East India House, 28th March, 1849. Sir,—l am commanded by the Court of Directors of the East India Company to acquaint you that, in conse quence of the discussions which have taken place respecting the " terms and conditions" proposed for the introduction of railways into India, and adverting to the conflicting views which prevail in regard thereto, the attention ot the Home Authorities has been again turnecljo the whole subject; and that, upon a review of the " terms and conditions," it has been determined to modify the same, in the hope and expectation that the question may thus be brought to an early and satisfactory conclusion. . A copy of the terms and conditions, as applicable to the railway proposed to be undertaken in the Bengal Presidency, and into which th e mo difications thus de termined upon have been introduced, is herewith en closed, for the purpose of being submitted to the Board of Directors of the East India Railway Company. In forwarding the same, I am commanded to state, that the terms and conditions so modified are to be received as the ultimatum of the Home Authorities, and that the assent thereto of the East Indian Railway Company must be signified within one month from the date of this letter. The board of directors of the East Indian Railway 'oropany will observe that a clause has been introduced, defining more particularly the position of the experi mental section which they are to undertake. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) JAMES C. MELVILL. D. I. Noad, Esq., &c. &c. Terms and Conditions upon which assistance will be af forded by the East India Company, for the construc tion of a Line of Railway in the Bengal Presidency. 1. That the selection of the line of railway be left to the Government of India, it being understood that the section to be undertaken, in the first instance, shall be the commencement of the line which may be deter mined upon from Calcutta towards the Upper Provinces, so as to form a commencement of the line leading either to Miraapore or Rajmahal. 2. That the railway be made by a company under the supervision and direction of the East India Company, whose officers, in India or in London, shall attest to the whole expenditure, and see that the capital account is properly kept, in the course of construction. 3. That a capital of 1,000,000/. sterling, for the exe cution of the proposed experimental section, shall be raised by the railway company, from the shareholders, and paid into the East India Company's treasury in London, to be re-drawn as required for expenditure, for such purposes only as shall be admitted to be capital. 4. That the land be provided by the Government. 5. That the land remain the property of Government ; and that the railway company be granted the use of it, on lease for ninety-nine years, but which, nevertheless, shall be terminated at any shorter period, when the East India Company shall, under the conditions and stipule thins herein contained, become possessed of the railway. 6. That the East India Company shall pay, annually, to the directors of the railway company, a sum equal to 5 per cent. interest ou,the capital of 1,000,0001., paid into the East India Company's treasury under the pro vision contained in clause 3. 7. That the whole of the profits shall be applicable to repay the East India Company the interest ot 5 per cent. thus advanced; and if more, profit than 5 . percent. is made, then tlat 'one-half of the surplus shall go towards repaying the interest advanced in former years, and the other halt to the shareholders. When the arrears of interest, with interest thereon, calculated at the rate of 5 per cent., from the, time it shall have been advanced by the East India Company, are all paid, then all the,extra profit to go to the shareholders. 8, Th a t, in order that the public may have security that the railway, when operied, shall be kept in use, it be a condition that the railway company shall run such trains as the Government in India shall consider neces sary for the convenience of the public and the general traffic. 9. That in the working of the line the East India Company shall have perfect supervision of works, books, accounts, &c., and shall see that the line and working stock are at all times kept in perfect repair , equal to the first state; and that if the reilway company fail to follow the directions of the East India Company's officers, the latter shall be at liberty to make repairs, and deduct the cost from the next accruing interest, or other moneys, to be paid to the railway company. 10. That in no case shall the East India Company be called upon to pay more than 5 per cent. per annum on the actual capital paid into the company's treasury, to an extent not exceeding 1,000,0001. sterling; and that if writing,nline first rst to which n b e made shall a there be any loss in w or ki ng the l i ne, th e Railway Com pany shall bear th e same so l ong as t h e y retain it. They shall, howevr, b e a t lib erty to g i ve i t u p to the East India Comp an y at any t i me they p l ease after six months' after the notice in in operation for th e space of three mont h s; but the railroad to be given up i n per f ect cond i t i on, b o th as to the line 'v be have given been a t finished a ny and time a and the working stock. They shall then receive pay ment of the original capital invested in the actual survey and construction of the line, either in one sum, or, at the option of Government, it may be commuted for an annuity, according to the provision hereinafter con tained, for the purchase of the railway by the East India Company, the Railway Company having satisfied the East India Company that all claims against the Railway Company, in respect to the railway, have been discharged. 11. That any company undertaking these works shall lodge with the East India Company, within two months from the date of the Court's letter transmitting the pre sent revised terms, a subscription contract list of share holders, to be approved by the East India Company, for the whole amount of the capital required—namely, 1,000,000/. sterling, with a deposit thereon of six per cent., whereupon the East India Company will re turn the present deposit of 60,000/., and will take mea sures in view to obtain without delay for the railway company a charter from the Government of India, and a charter in conformity therewith from the Crown. 12. That a clause be introduced into such charters, which shall bind the Railway Company to the payment of the required capital, and the completion of the works undertaken, within such period as may be agreed upon between them and the East India Company; and which, in case of failure of such engagement, shall enable the East India Company to take possession of the line, upon re-payment only of the cost of survey and con striction of such portions of the line as shall have been actually completed and opened to the public. 13. That provision he made for securing to th;Go vernment of India the option of purchasing the raiswesay at the expiration either of twenty-five or of btiettLiyeeputed 14. That the terms of such purchase shall the railway, at the mean market value o f the share t tho said period of during the three years last precedingway be. twenty-five or fifty years , as the, case so computed may, at the 15. That the purch ase money option of Government, either be paid to the railway be commuted for a fixed annuity for in one sum , or y for the remainder of the lease of ninety-nine years. 16. That it is to be understood that the annual pay ment guaranteed by clause 6 of these terms and condi tions, will be confined to the experiment new under consideration. 17. That it is to be likewise understood that the pre sent arrangiment in no respect supersedes the terms communicated to the Government of India in the le gislative letter of the 7th of May, 1845, with the ex ception or.ly of the question of guarantee of interest. 18. That, in consideration of the rate of interest having been raised from 4 to 5 per cent. per annum, the railway company undertakes to carry the mails free, and the troops, the artisans, and the stores of the Govern ment, at the terms chargeable for the lowest class of pasengas, and at the lowest rate for goods respec tively. The CHAIRMAN said he would venture to ask whether any gentleman had any observations to make on the terms, before he stated his own feelings on the subject i With regard to the terms them selves, he would only remark, that having, since they received them, been repeatedly in communica tion with the authorities of the: Board of Control, he thought his duty, as holding a public situation, to state that he had no hesitation in expressing his strong conviction that it was the intention of all the authorities concerned in the government of India, Low fide, to carry lout this great undertaking, and to give every fair construction to those terns — (Cheers) —and that reasonable modification would be admitted into the subscription contract. Mr. HrrcniNs said the company now had a 5/. per cent. security, without the possibility of a loss, and he heartily concurred in the general terms of the document which had been read. He moved that the term's be received and adopted, suggesting at the same time that the directors should reserve to themselves shares to the amount of 30,000/., for the purpose of disposing of them at a premium in remuneration for their great services.—("No, no," from the Chairman.) •The CHAIRMAN replied that with regard to reserv ing shares for the purpose of disposing of them at a premium in the market, it was a proposition which the directors gratefully but decidedly declined. Mr. FLOOD rose to second the motion of Mr. Hitchins for the adoption of the terms and conditions propounded by the Court of Directors, and in so doing said he could rot help being astonished at the advantageous terms which they were then con sidering.—(Applause.) llr. HENDERSON said, by the 16th clause, the gua- rantee of 51. per cent. was not to extend to the 1,000,0001. How, he would with 1,000,000/ r were they to make a profitable line ? He would also ask where the line was to be made, and what was to be done with their money ? The CHAIRMAN replied that the sum of 1,000,0001. was not rigid or inflexible ; but it might be in creased, and if increased, the terms now under consi deration would be applicable to the increase precisely as at the present moment.—(Hear.) He had been asked what was to be the second terminus, Calcutta being one. The second terminus had not been defined yet ; but he could state to them that it was intended to leave the direction of the line, and the second terminus to be decided on by the Governor-General of India, both as to the length and the position, with the single ex ception, that the experimental line was defined in the direction which it was to take.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. R. DEAN briefly addressed the meeting in support of the resolution. _ _ _ Colonel SMITH presu here would be a limited time within which the 2*l would be paid. The motion was then put, and agreed to without a dissentient voice. Colonel SMITH then proposed, as a resolution, that it was the opinion of the meeting that all shares on which the call of 2/. shall not be paid on or before the 20th instant should be forfeited, subject to the discretion of the board in particular cases. Mr. CAWTHORNE seconded the resolution, which was also carried. In answer to a question by a proprietor, The CHAIRMAN disclaimed, on the part of the direc- tors, any the slightest intention to traffic in the shares of the company; and stated, that everything would be conducted in a manner as fair as the day. Captain HENDERSON moved, that the shareholders should be supplied with a list of the shareholders who subscribed the original capital, but this finding no seconder fell to the ground. Mr. BEAUMONT moved a vote of thanks to the directors for the energy, disinterestedness, patience, and perseverance which they had manifested in the conduct of the company's affairs, especially referring to the exertions of Mr. Macdonald Stephenson and Messrs. Freshfield. Mr. LOVELOCK seconded the resolution, which was carried with acclamation. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ment for himself and his brother directors, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY IN TELLIGENCE. NORTH WALES. A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. Chadwick in the chair. The CHAIRMMAN briefly stated that the directors were anxious to afford the shareholders every informa tion with respect to their affairs. The whole of the books would be laid before them, and it would be for tkose who were interested in this unfortunate project to decide what was best to be done under the circumstances. Mr. HENDERSON said, he was glad that the share- holders had thus been afforded another opportunity of expressing their opinion in favour of the conduct of the directors. With a view to clear up any doubt that might exist with regard to the management of their affairs, he would move that a committee of inquiry be appointed, consisting of those shareholders who were known to be opposed to the directors, to investigate the affairs of the company, with power to examine the di rectors, solicitor, or any other officer of the company. Mr. POWELL seconded the resolution. After some observations from Dr. WATERFIELD and Mr. BUTT, the resolution was unanimously passed, ap pointing a committee, consisting of. Mr. J. Shaw (the solicitor of Mr. Archer), Mr. Norris, Mr. Crawford, Mr: Cohen, and. Mr. Henderson, with, full -powers to investi gate the affairs or the company, and to report thereon to a:futare nict.,fing.,„, In reply to questions, the Uroartmart stated that there was nothing due to lanflOwners, solicitors, or Parlia mentary agents; that 600/. would pay off all the liabili-_, ties of the company. The Lord Chancellor had decided against the claim of Mr. Jackson, and it was not pro bable,. the- latter would prosecute the' suit any further. The. powers of their Act to take land had ceased last July, and next Juli the Powers to carry on the works would cease. With respect to dividing the funds in hand they= acted under the advice of an eminent lawyer, Mr.' Rolt, who had drawn up 'the deed: The difficulty was in this mode of proceeding that it required all the parties to agree to the dissolution of the company and to sign the deed. The only dissenting parties he knew were Mr. Bulkeley Hughes and Mr. Herapath. The directors would give the committee every facility in their power to make any investigation they thought proper. Thanks were voted to the chairman and the meeting separated. LONDON AND BRIGHTON. This company have made considerable reductions in the charge for periodical tickets, with the view of en couraging building, and extending facilities for suburban residence in connexion with the short stations between London, Croydon, and Epsom. EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN INTO WINDSOR. The Admiralty have given their tieir assent to the pro posed extension line from Richmond to Windsor, on con dition that with a view to prevent any obstruction to the navigation of the Thames, the navigable channel be crossed by bridges of one span, with as much headway as the limits of deviation will allow. The point in ques tion is a spot about three-quarters of a mile below Windsor-bridge. OPENING OF THE SHROPSHIRE UNION. The line between Shrewsbury anti Stafford, a chief portion of the Shropshire Union Railway, is now com pleted, and will be opened for public traffic in May. Experimental trips have been made between the termini by the engineers and directors. The line is 30 miles, running through a rich agricultural country, and conti guously to the coal and iron-works of the Duke of Sutherland between Newport and Wellington.

This was a meeting for t he choice of assignees in th i s matter. The bankrup t was a Cern factor in Mincing lane, and on the Corn Exchange.

Mr. Callender was a bankrupt about fourteen years ago, being then in partnership. The firm with which he was connected owed about 15,0001. at the period of their stoppage, and a large dividend was paid. They, too, carried on the business of corn factors. Debts to the amount of about 5,000/.:were proved, and Mr. Joseph Bayne, of Mark-lane, appointed assignee. Mr. Edwards is the official assignee. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF THOMAS NORTON BROWN. This bankrupt was a pawnbroker in Fetter-lane, and a sharebroker in Throgmorton-street. This was a meet ing for the last examination. The balance-sheet has the following items:—Creditors unsecured, 18,3851.;_ . creditors holding security, 6,5411. ; „ . liabilities, 4,215/.; liability creditors holding security, 4601; capital, 1,811/.; profits, 12,9001.; good debts, 4011.; doubtful debts, 2,34 5 / 4 property, 6,27 6 / 4 property in the hands of creditors, 5,000/ ; bad debts, 2,452/.; losses, 6,9211 ; trade expenses, 12,451/ ; domestic, 3,314/. There was no opposition to the bank' upt's passing on the part of the creditors; but Mr. EDWARDS, the official assignee, called his Honour's attention to the fact that whereas the bankrupt had during a portion of his mercantile career kept two separate and distinct mercantile establishments, the ono in Fetter-lane and the other in Throgmorton• street, the balance-sheet was exclusively made up from the books kept in Fetter-lane. A deficiency of 4,600/. appeared to have been carried from the business in Fetter-lane to that in Throgmorton-street, but the bankrupt having destroyed the books and accounts he had kept in the latter place of business, this deficiency of 4,6001. was en tirely unexplained, and there was no statement whatever of his trading as a stockbroker. The COMMISSIONER allowed the bankrupt to pass, stating, however, that the question as to the destruction of the books was a very serious one, and would be dealt with when Brown came up for his certificate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 9 (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) WHITE V. GOVITT AND CoNYBEARE. .. --- Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Ball were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. M. Smith for the defendants. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages in consequence of the defendant Govitt having caused him to be arrested and imprisoned on a charge of felony. The plaintiff was a carpenter, the defendant Govitt was a farmer, and the defendant Mary Cony - beano was his housekeeper. the himself f I nh a do p au : s e z a o r . appeared Govitt, p h r a o t m h spe eadidtohmarrplaintiffy r worked ehseser.s occasionally tsoteh etotled rn the e t interest,plaintiff it ad 201. oL arrangedwhich vi s th h hi e taet t wished fiier mtho to place money oascnheeoleuonluidat em ployedbt the lent to the plaintiff, and it was handed over to him. that Mary Conybeare was in the family-wa and the e rn a p t e l bt a oe i rt n nw a t ee f i Some qtiai n t an time MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday, Denis Murphy, a boy of 13 years of age, was convicted of having been detected in the act of drawing a handkerchief from the pocket of a gentleman who had been a looker-on at the Olympic Theatre conflagration. Upon being taken into custody and searched, three other silk handkerchiefs were found upon the boy, each handkerchief having a different mark upon it. _ _ The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that the c ►se of this boy was an illustration of the observations he had made to the grand jury as to no good being likely to be effected in reference to these, boys until the parents were compelled to contribute towards their sup port whilst in prison. During the whale of the last three months this boy had lived entirely upon his efforts and cleverness in the streets, and his parents had been altogether freed from any expense as to his maintenance. The only fitting place for such a boy was Parkhurst; but in or.ler that he should be eligible for admission into that prison it was necessary that he should be 14 years of age, then 4 feet 6 inches in height, and also a hardened rogue. Now, it chanced that this prisoner possessed but one, and that the last, of these stipulated qualifications; and thus he was not admissible. The bentenee, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned for six months, with hard labour. John Jones, aged 42, a journeyman tailor, was con victed of having stolen a pair of trousers, the property of his employer, Floury Lawrence, of Brewer-street. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, stated that for the last nine months in order to support his family, consisting of a wife and six children, he had been compelled to make trousers for the prosecutor at the rate of 10d., Is., ls. 3d., and Is. 6d. per pair, and haying done that he considered he bad given the strongest proofs of his being an honest man. The prosecutor, in reply to this statement, said that the prisoner had supplicated him in the most piteous manner to give him work, and, therefore, out of charity he had at length consent e d to let him have a description of work which was usually allotted to women. The prisoner—That's a lie; for I made the very best double superfine trousers for is. 4d. a pair.—(Laughter.) 'rho Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that he had no doubt but that up to the commission of this act the prisoner had been an honest man, and that the small prices be had received from the prosecutor not being sufficient to enable him to sustain the calla of his family, his integrity had broken down. He should sen tence him, under the circumstances, to one month's im prisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAR YLEBONE. Mr. Robert Clavering Savage, a person of very large property, driving his four-in-hand, and who has at least fourteen horses, together with carriages of different de scriptions, and Caroline Langdon, a smartly-dressed .woman, were charged before.

Savage's -propesition t and with,bis wife, went : to his (the male defendant's) house with two,,youn female servants, with an understanding that he was to be 'boitided and properly attended to in every respect, at the rate of 121. 10s. per month for a year certain ; there " was also a stipulation that no female friends" of Mr. Savage should be allowed to reside in the house, more particularly as regarded Caroline Langdon. Savage had, however, in the early part of last week, sent for her, and both of the defendants not only committed assaults upon the female domestics, but perpetrated acts of a most disgusting nature in their pre sence. The acts committed cannot be particularised, being quite unfit to meet the public eye; suffice it to state that the worthy magistrate, Mr. Broughton, after hear ing evidence which occupied his attention nearly two hours, came to the conclusion that a more gross case of profligacy had never come before him, and the sentence which he felt himself bound to pass upon the defendants was, that each should pay a penalty of 51., or be impri soned in the house of Correction for two months; in addition to which he should call upon Mr. Savage to enter into his own recognizance in 5001, and to find two sureties in 1001. each (with 24 hours' notice), for his keeping the peace and being of good behaviour for the ensuing six months. He was then locked up. The penalty upon the woman was paid. WORSHIP-STREET. Michael Alexander Bailey, in the service of a master carman named Clare, in Mitchell -street, St. Luke's, was charged with obtaining possession of a large quantity of malt from the goods' department of the Easter Counties Railway, under false pretences. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded for a week for the completion of the evidence, the Magistrate con senting to accept substantial bail for his future appearance RICHM OND. Lydia Dixon, a meek and ladylike-looking young woman, was brought before the Richmond bench, charged with shoplifting. The prisoner was described on the police charge sheet as a teacher of music, residing in the Lower-road, Richmond. On Saturday night, about half-past eight o'clock, G. Woods, 209 V, a very efficient officer, was coming down the Church-passage into George street, when he observed the prisoner standing under the portico of Messrs. Briant and Field's shop, who are linendrapers. There was considerable property deposited there, and amongst other goods was a piece of huckaback, which proved to measure 65 yards. He saw the prisoner, who was apparently intent upon the show in the window, give one glance round as if to assure herself she was not observed, and then momentarily secrete the huckaback under her shawl; the parcel was so long that it pro truded considerably above her shoulder. The prisoner had got into George-street, and was walking away from the shop, when catching sight of the constable, she ran hack towards the shop, and when taxed with the theft, she said she was going to take it in to ask the price, When apprehended the prisoner made a desperate re sistance, and it was as much as Mr. Field, one of the partners, and the constable, could do to get her to the station. On passing through the passage to the charge room she contrived to break away some portion of her dress in front. and down fell a cpacious pocket, capable of containing at least half a dosen dresses, and in it at that time were a cashmere dress and six lace collars. In her apartments was found an immense quantity of pro perty of almost every description, consisting of dresses in cashmere, woollen plaids, merinos, watered silks, and cottons, furs, rolls of French and satin ribbons, cards of lace, silk and kid glOves, silk neckerchiefs, bonnets, se veral pairs of ladies' boots and French clogs, two valuable shawls, a bottle of ginger wine, and three enamelled sauce pans, besides numerous other articles of trifling value. Strange to state, on all these stolen articles the private mark of the tradesmen had been suffered to remain, and through the exertions of Inspector Beard the greater part of the property has been identified. No pawn broker's duplicates were found, but several disguises were observed, consisting of a dark brown wig, with the hair made to fall 'in curly at the back, a light brown front in bands, and an auburn front, with short curls; the prisoner's hair is black. There was also a shawl, with one side woollen and the other silk, and a cardi• nal cloak fitted with capacious pockets. From papers found it was ascertained that the prisoner is the daughter of a once eminent solicitor, now deceased, and the mother is, or was, one of the candidates for the " National Be nevolent Institution." A pianoforte and other musical instruments were in the prisoner's t ooms. The prisoner did not offer any defence, but entreated she might not be sent to prison, as it would assuredly kill her. Sir T. N. REEVE said, the prisoner should havethouginh! t of that previously, and rema nded her that further guides might be made. —The town t intense excite n into a state 0 ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT AT ...PARRICIDE. of Rotherham was throowst l by a report that Mr. John ment on Wednesd Bland, the superoi.litiilidtent constable of Rotherham, and district of the West Ridiog had high constabb' assassinatedr b y his son.

The return of the Registrar-General of births and deaths in the metropolis during the - week - ending on Saturday last shows the number of deaths from all causes to be 994, being 31 more than the weekly average of five springs. The return, however. shows that the public health improves with the progress of the early months, and that the mortality has fallen to the rate.of that of October.

The rooms. which are two on a floor, are cleanly kept. The two officers of health visited this house on the 26th of August last year, and from notes then taken I find that over a surface of about 6,480 square feet there is no surface drainage, or very insuffi cient; that the cesspool of the above house had been emptied about the 17th of July of the same year, and that there appeared to be no drain.

THE MURDETtINBLACKF RIA;RS- ROAD. Yesterday evening, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held surinquest on the body of Henry Lambsill, azed.23, who was stabbed in a scuffle in Blaekfriars-road. The •jury, having been sworn, proceeded to view the body and returned. .. George Merriman, a watch-glass maker, residing in A2lyadwall, stated that he was in company with the de ceaied Tiom eelea -bit 'Sunday night until-about 2 in the morning. They first met at a public-house called the Mitres and a man named Bailey was present. There were also some other persons present. No quarrelling occurred there, and they proceeded to the Duke of York tavern; in Blackfiiars. road. A dispute there arose be • tween Bailey and'the deceased, with reference to a small sum of money lent by Bailey to the sleceased—Bailey demanding, and the deceased refusing, payment. On leaving the tavern with the rest, witness crossed the road to York-street, leaving the deceased and Bailey together. Almost immediately after witness heard the deceased, cry out " George, he has stabbed me," and he then ob served Lambsill coming towards him, and saw him fall as soon as he reached the centre of the road. Witness raised him, and a woman named Mary Taylor, who came up with them, unfastened his shirt. There was a small stream of blood running down his side. A man named Parker then raised an alarm, and Bailey was taken into custody. The deceased was placed in 'a cab and con veyed to the hospital. Joseph Parker corroborated this evidence, stating in addition that he gave Bailey into the custody of the police. Bailey asked why witness collared him, and he replied that he did so because he had stabbed Lambsill. He said, " No, I have not;" but he offered no resist ance. Witness afterwards knelt down and examined the deceased. There was a hole through his coat, waist coat, and shirt, and he was bleeding from a small wound in his side. Saw two small clasp-knives taken from Bailey's pockets by the policeman. A relative of the deceased, who seemed much af fected during the proceedings, asked the witness if the deceased had quarrelled with any other person whilst at the Mitre? The witness said that he had not. James Murray supported the statement of Herriman, adding that on the road from the Mitre to the Duke of York the deceased used some offensive terms to a young man passing. Some words arose, and an offer was made to back the young man, whose name was Denman, to fight the deceased for ss. The deceased had not got is., and Bailey thereupon gave him that sum, but no fight took place. In consequence of Bailey's insisting upon the money being returned, the fatal quarrel took place. None of the party were sober at the time. Bailey was very much intoxicated. John Meek, 48 M division, stated that on hearing cries of " Murder!" and " Police!" he ran to the corner of Charlotte-street, and saw the deceased bleeding on the ground. Bailey was pointed out to him as having " done it," and witness collared him and said, " Have you got a knife?" He said " No—yes. I have one in my right hand pocket." He then attempted to secrete something in his breast. Witness put his hand in his breast, and there found a small knife open, and the blade turned downwards. Did not observe any blood upon it. There was another knife in his coat pocket. The knife was here handed round. It was a long narrow blade, about three inches long, and seemed just the sort of weapon to have inflicted the very small but deep puncture in the breast of the deceased. Mary Taylor stated that the deceased lived with her. On Sunday night or Monday morning she was in the Blackfriars-road. She went out for the purpose of watching Lambsill, who was then tipsy. She saw bim walk with Bailey. She saw Lambsill tall, and on going up she saw blood flowing from his breast. She said, " Don't let him go, he has stabbed him." Bailey said he did not want to go. A policeman then collared him, and took an open clasp knife out of his breast-coat pocket. Witness went into the cab with them. Deceased sighed and rolled his eyes when the cab reached the Borough, and she observed to a man who was also inside the cab, " He's dying now, I think." Mr. Isaac Coggins stated that on Monday morning, at ten minutes past two o'clock, the deceased was brought to St. Thomas's Hospital in a cab, and witness was called. There was a small black wound on the left breast between the fifth and sixth ribs, over the region of the heart. He was quite dead. There was a small quantity of blood outside the wound. • post martets examination was made the same day. The wound was found to extend backwards and- upwards to theexxttnenr: of the heart, and about thirty - seven of two inches. It bad penetrated the musscular te es caped into tha cavity of the rty-seven chest.ou nce The one-bladed of blood had knife .(the one which n) would have in flicted such a wound.

Anfound in open knife was Bail ey's pocket, and it did not appear that there was any good reason for his car rying it in that state, to his own risk. The deceased could not have inflicted the wound himself from the di recti,n it took: it must have been inflicted by a thrust, and net a blow. Trere was nu scuffle or blow which could have caused the use of this weapon in self defence, a+ .d it would become their duty to consider whether, under these circumstances, the striking a man with * knife in the left breast, when there was every reason to believe that death must follow the blow, did not amount to flir& r. Had the deceased struck with his fist, it would have been a provocation ; but would even dist circumstance warrant this determined use of a deadly weapon to return it? Under all the circumstances, he thought that the crime could not be returned as man st.ughter, and it was for them to decide whether this men ought not to be put upon his trial on the capital charge. - The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" apainst William Bailey. The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. — Yesterday being Easter Tuesday, the Commissioners of Sewers for the city of London did not transact any public business.
