Several shares in Devon Great Consols have changed hands during the week. The gratifying nature of the directors' annual financial statement, furnished to the shareholders preparatory to the yearly meeting, has no doubt brought the many purchasers in the market. We learn that a run has taken place in Wheal Maria, between the 28 and 40 fin. levels, bringing away about 800 tons of copper ore. Kircudbright shares have been in request, and several transactions have taken place at an advance on former quotations. South Tolgus. South Wheal Basset, West Caradon, Condurrow, Levant, West Buller, and South Frances, have been in demand. West Caradon is stated to have considerably improved, a valuable discovery having been made in a north lode by a cross-cut extended from the 120 fm. level. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week, viz. :—Devon Great Consols, Mary Ann, Trehane, East Pool, Grambler and St. Aubyn, Great Rough Tor Consols, Stray Park, West Wheal Jewel, Sharp Tor, Kingsett and Bedford, Canaborne Consols, East Tamar, Bedford United, South Tamar, Tgroproft, Tamar Consols, Wellington, Treleigh Consols, Drake klolmbush, &c The report of the Kinaigthal Mining Company, read at the meeting held on Friday, is of a favourable character. In St. Michael, one of the five mines worked by the company, operations had been carried on for testing the value of the lode, in the prosecution of which it became necessary to drain the mine. A quantity of ore had been raised from the silver and cobalt mines in the Wittichen district; but the pocket of native silver, mentioned at the last meeting, had not yet realised the expectations entertained. But, exclusive of this, the quantity of cobalt ore raised would, the Chairman thought, yield a satisfactory result for the year. The prospects of the copper mine were such as to afford the best anticipation of future profit ; and this alone would pay a handsome dividend, whieh would be largely increased by the pocket of rich native silver referred to. The funds, including those arising from the sale of ore in stock, were deemed suffi cient for the operations of the company to the end of the year. The expenses were about 2001. monthly, and no liabilities of importance were incurred. The report was unanimously adopted. Since the meeting of the Wheal Seton adventurers, at which the statement of accounts, showing a balance of 1691. 3s. sd. in favour of the company, was made, the agent's report of the mine has reached us. The rise in the back of the 90 fin. level, on the north taunter lode, is producing 12 tons of ore per fm. The 80 end, and the slopes in the back, are producing 8 tons per fm. The stopes in the back of the 70 are returning 14 tons per fm. The stopes in the back of the 60 produce 6 tons per fun. All the other levels and stopes are producing 4,3, and 2 tons per fm. respectively. Upon the whole, we consider the mine to be in an improving position. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of France up to April 19:— The meeting of the Wheal Forte:cue adventurers, held on the 13th instant, at which the accounts from September to February inclusive were audited, showed a balance of 951. 3s. 9d. in favour of the adventurers. The adventurers have taken the West Wheal Maria sett, which will give an extensive piece of ground, through Whieh the south lobes run. The engine-shaft is down to within 2i rms. of the point from whence it is pro posed to drive a cross-cut, to intersect the Great Wheal Maria lode, which, at the 20 fm. level, appeared very promising. To earry out these operations a call of 1/. per share was made. By the statement of accounts at the East Pool meeting it appears that the balance against the mine is 1371. 17s. Bd. The ores sold (I ---s dues) amounted to 9231. Ils. id.; the costs and merchant , ' bills, 1,0471. 63. 3d. The accounts of the Wheal Mary (Redruth) show a balance in favour of the purser of 3671. 63. sd. The ore , ; "ii,ll amounted to 4441. 10s. I Id. A call of 10i. a share was nide. The bienenthly meeting of Condurrow adventurers wee held en Mouthy, for the purpose of auditing the accounts for Fehrusry and March. The balance-sheet presents a profit of 37/ Is. lid. on the two months' evotkii g, carrying a credit of 236/. 19s. 3d. to the next account, exclusive of the copper ore sold on the sth, amounting to 1,569/. 45., which is not shown in the statement. The manager's report of the mine states, that the engine-shaft will be down to the 80 fathom level by next month, which has gone through the lode for 2 fathoms, and is estimated worth 40/. per fathom. The 70 east has been driven on a very productive lode for 2.7 fms. ; 8 fins, further east a wince has been sunk on he lode from the level above, producing four tons of ore per fm.; on the north a por tion of the lode has been left standing, producing four tons per fin., which has not yet been ascertained to be a distinct lode ; the 70 west is not at present so productive as it has been for the last 8 fins. On the Llandour lode a wince is sinking under the 30 fm. level, east of Pryor's shaft, worth 151. per fm. Extensive tutwork is in ope ration to render Condurrow a profitable and permanent mine. The usual bi-monthly meeting of the Levant adventu rers took place on Monday last, when a dividend was de clared of 121. per 160th share, leaving a balance of 1,100/. in the purser's hands. In foreign mines we have little to notice, the transac tione in shares having been very limited. The chief business has been in St. John del Rey, Copispo, United Mexican, Guadalcanal, and Real del Monte shares. The report of the Allen Mining Association fur February shows a return of 151 tons for the month. Nearly all the mines are represented to have improved; whilst, at Carl Jolein's, the ludo has increased to nearly 3 feet wide, with a course of solid ore. The proprietors may be congratulated on their present prospects, which are as promising, if not indeed brighter than at any former period. Letters from south Australia, dated Adelaide, to the 24th of January, state that the Burrs Burra Company had ceased taking up more vessels for freight of ore. The late quarrel between the managers of the mine and the miners had been satisfactorily arranged, and the lat ter were fully employed. The smelting works of the company were expected to be shortly in operation. 324 tons of ore had left the mine for the week ending Ith of January, and 500 tons more were forwarded to Port Adelaide during she same week. We find it stated that the Governor of the colony and his lady were about to pay a visit to the mines; and the chairman, accompa nied by , some of the directors had left Port Adelaide for the purpose of receiving them. The last quotations of eh res were—Berra Burrs, 125/.; Princess Royal, 10/ ; Adelaide, 11.; Kapunda.:2/.; Enterprise, 11 10s.; Paringa, 21. 10s.; Port Lincoln, 5/. 55.; Wheal Gawler, 20/.; Prince Albert, 21. Nothing of importance had occurred with respect to the other mines. BASK OF ENGLAND WEEKLY STATEMENT. The changes in the Bank of England weekly state ment to the 14th are very material, arising chiefly from the dividend payments. The amount taken from the pubic deposits, and w`aich it may fairly be con elud• d passed almost entirely into the hands of ariautanti, was considerable, and there has since the re turn been, no doubt, a further reduction. On the other hand, we have striking evidence of the abundance of unemployed money in banking and other cir• Iles, for the other deposits have been greatly augmei.ted, and the ',cans upon other securities sensibly curtailed. To some extent this is usual, be cause advances are liner/ repayable upon the re opening of the transfer books. The active circulation has increased and the bullion has decreased, hut without reference to exports of the precious metals, we might account for the latter upon the supposition that part of the dividends would he received in cash, a large number of persons taking amounts under 101., and not requir ing note. Wren we look at such a return as that before us, including nearly twelve millions in pri vate (1 ,, p )sits, and not far short of fifteen millions in the precious metals, we cannot wonder at money being worth only 2,4 to 3 per cent., or at the exportations of some amount being , considered a positive relief:— Notes lasut d 27,928,400 Decrease ... ••• 91,080 . 3,122,152 42,293 . 3,484,073 . 4 247,718 . 11.780,256 2,155,034 1,129,461 28,318 14,352,241 20,603 10,061,870 1,062,716 8,5)75.885 861,690 14,707,336 168,144 19,052,5 15 770,610 Rest Increase ...

The excitement in the public mind relative to the LlD happy fate of Mrs. Hinrichson, her children, and servants, has, in some degree, subsided; but still great anxiety exists to learn the early history of the man who has given th e name of John Gleeson Wilson, and w h o has been cornmitted on the charge of wilful murder. Our excel lent head constable, Mr. Dowling, has at length been ensbled to obtain some authentic particulars as to the supposed murderer, and as these may be confidently re lied on, they will scatter to the winds all the unfounded statements and suspicions which have been afloat on this subject. The real name of the prisoner is Maurice Gleeson. Ile is the son of David Gleeson, and was born at the Village, or townland, as it is called, of Brurie, nine mil .s from Limerick. lie has three brothers younger than hinielf, and two sisters. 'The father is a black smith by trade, but has done little or no work for Some time. fie is dissipated and idle, and the whole family have been rioted for their idleness and vicious propensities. The father ie now in receipt of out-door relief from the parish. The prisoner, who worked a lit tle With his father 'as a blacksmith, left home more than two y ears ago, in consequence of having been charged with a robbery, although t he crime was not clearly proved aga i ns t him. Since he left his father.. ,t s house, tionorab, one of his sisters, has been transported for :ten years. The prisoner went from Ireland to Plymouth, where he worked for a few months in a foundry, as striker. From Plymouth he went to London, and lived for some time in Limehouse, About ten months ago he came to Liverpool, and took lodgings at the house in Sparling-street, kept by his pre sent wife, whom, as we before stated, he married at the end of last year. Since he came to Liverpool he has never been. known to do a day's work, but the head con stable,: has now ample evidence as to his pursuits and mode ASSETS.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING. - The above-mme.l Nobleman expired this morning at his residence in Merrion-square, havinz survived a few months his elder brother the Earl of Rathdown, by whose death the earldom became extinct. The late Viscount is suc• ceeded in his title and estates by his son the Hon. Charles Stanly Monck, who at the late election stood candida to for the representation of his native county of Wicklow. The Evening Mail states, on competent authority, that two respectable Roman Catholic priests in a western county have been forced by necessity to have their names placed on the relief list. It is also stated that a beneficent Protestant clergyman has, within the last few weeks, petitioned a relief association for per mission to appropriate half a ton of oatmeal confided to him to the purpose of saving his children from starving. Accounts from Clonmel mention a desperate conflict among the boatmen on the river Suir, arising out of a combination. Some meu who had returned to their work were last night attacked by a party of rioters. Some of the fel lows were armed with knives, and severely wounded a man named Timothy Sweeney a little below the spine, and another named Edward Walsh had his head cut severely and several bruises abont his body. The police were promptly on the spot, and, after some resistance, succeeded in arresting five of the ringleaders. THE CORN TRADE.—We had not so much animation in our market to-day, but prices of Tuesday were well supported for wheat and barley, while oats may be quoted 3d to 6d dearer. For the best samples of Indian corn an advance of 6d was obtained, but the business done was inconsiderable. White wheat, old, 2Ss to 27s 6d; red ditto, 22s to 265; beans and barley, 13s to 17s 6d; oats, 105 6d to 123 6d; oatmeal, Ils 6d to 133; second flour, 14s to 18s; Indian corn, per 4801 b. 31s to 36s 6d.

Under the cir cumstances, and seeing that tho child was unbaptised the clergyman thought it his duty to decline administer ing the rites of sepulture. Nothing daunted by this rebuff, the good woman, judging, as we suppose, that it was better to have her child interred according to Christian practices, even though administered by lay agency, actually had her child buried between the morning and afternoon services, an old woman reading the burial service, and doubtless with as much benefit as if it had been read by a bishop." MINERAL WEALTH or RUSSIA.—The metallic produce of the Russian empire in 1848 was, according to official documents, as follows :—viz., 1,826 poods of gold, pood of platinum, 1,192 poods of silver, 254,569 poods of copper, and 8,513,673 poods of wrought iron.

The protested bills are 200,000 f. less in Paris, and about the same as the preceding week in the branch banks. The overdue bills show little change. On the side of the liabilities, the notes in circulation have declined about 8} railli,m3 in Paris, and about 1 million in the departments.

DESERTION OF BRITISH SEAMEN.—Wo have it from very good authority that no less than 14,000 British seamen have desert, d the merchant service during the past year, 8,000 of whom have left their vessels on the American coasts. It is reported that Rear-Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, Bart , C. 8., at present residing at Malta, has become a Roman Catholic. It is reported that Captain Codrington, C. 8., of H.M.S. Thetis, at Leghorn, is shortly to be united to a very wealthy young lady, of the family name of Smith, residing at Florence. THE POST-OFFICE PACKET SERVICE.—NOW that the Admiralty have established their four steam-packets, Llewellyn, Banshee, Caradoc, and St. Colomba, in regu lar working order, and the mails are conveyed to and from London and Dublin, via Holyhead, with much greater celerity than by way of Liverpool, their Lord ships have determined to do away with the Liverpool establishment, and thereby save the amount now paid to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, and on and after the 20th of June, to have all the mails conveyed to and fro between Holyhead and Kingstown, by her Ma ' jesty's steam-boats above named. It is quite time that the Holyhead boats should do more work for their ex penses. General Lord Seaton, the High Commissioner of the lonian Islands (by 'private letters from Corfu), was, with his family, about to embark in her Majesty's ship Sharpshooter, for a psaaage to Trieste, en route to England. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF CHATHAM DOCKYARD. — We regret to state that Captain Superintendent Sir Thomas Bouchier, K.C.8., is again very ill at her Ma jesty's Dockyard, Chatham. A fancy ball upon an extensive and magnificent scale will take place in the course of the summer in the grounds of her Majesty's Royal Military Hospital, Chel sea, in aid of the funds of the Society for the Relief of Distressed Needlewomen. THE AMERICANS AT ALEXANDRIA.—MARCH 27. Sailed, the United State 3 frigate Constitution, having been detained some days to gain redress for an insult ffered to one of her officers, viz.:—A boat from Consti tution, when at watering place, a scuffle ensued between one of the crew and an Arab water carrier, from the latter having refused to give him any to drink, upon which the officer ordered the men into the boat. A party of Egyptian soldiers came down and demanded the man to be given up to them who had been sculling, pointing out the man at the same time, which, upon his refusing to do, they walked him off before their officer, striking him twice with muskets. The soldiers have been basti nadoed, and it is supposed that the Egyptian officer will be degraded to the ranks, as the American Consul de mands the same. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING NEARLY 5,0001. At the Leeds court-house, on Thursday, Mr. Peter Mann, who has been chief clerk of the Leeds Water works Company since its incorporation, upwards of seven years ago, was brought up in custody, having been apprehended on the previous day by a warrant, which charged him with having received various sums of money, the property of his employers, and embezzled the same. Mr. J. W. Daffier, one of the engineers of the company, said that in consequence of what he had observed regarding the management of the company's depot, he was induced at the last monthly meeting of the directors of the company, held on the first Monday in April, to ask for the appointment of a sub-committee to inquire into the manner in which the business was transacted there. A sub-committee was appointed, and the result of its investigations showed that the prisoner, whose duty it was to receive the water rents from the collectors and to pay them to the treasurer the next day, had some years ago begun to retain the sums so received in his own hands for a few days, afterwards for longer periods, say a month, and sometimes he had not paid them over at all. The consequence was that out of the sums received by Mr. Mann from the collectors of the water rents from time to time, he had withheld moneys to the extent of nearly 5,000/. The directors had met on Wednesday, and had come to the painful conclusion that they must bring the present charge against the prisoner. They ha appointed Mr. Bywater, the accountant, to examine the books, and as that investi gation was not yet concluded, the case was not ripe for ir.quiry by the bench, and therefore the prosecu tors had to ask that the accused might be remanded to a future day. Mr. J. M. Barrett, solicitor, who appeared for the prisoner, said that he did not object to a remand, but he wished the magistrates to fix the amount of the bail they would require for his client's appearance on the day to be named. He said that I this matter had keen before the directors for the last ten days, and that since they had ascertained the extent of his deficiencies they had taken an assign ment of all his goods and effects, and he k ha t d o not the justices, who i B w a u r t r e , r- c w le o r rks, com pany,s so ught to absentalshoimcsleerlfk. prisoner had volunteered a state toMthne onnectedi with the company, state ment to a gentleman c said that the he hadinvested the money was a considerable d an ef d au a lt l e s r o , stotathinigmstehlfa,t that he in purchases of grain, peas , ' beans, wouldit r and he had &c., and he appeared than he had withheld from the comp y, offered t o g i ve u p everything that he p o ssessed. He _ had since ex e c u t e d a d ee d, by whic.h he had assigned to the company all the property he possessed, whether solely his own, or in which he had only a partnership interest; and he was now pennilef4=, though the pro perty given up was not equal to hylas deficiencies. The magistrates, after retiring to consiAer the point, re fused to take bail, and remande•a" the prisoner for further examination on Monday (t 'b is day). ROYAL ARTILLERY.--WOOLW I , 7 g , APRIL 20. A general court-martial assembled. at Woolwich, of which Colonel Campbell, Royal Artillery, was president, for the trial of Gunner and Driver 17.00rapion, 6111 bat talion, on the following ch . t arges:—F , st, for striki ng a non-commissioned officer in the exec don of his duty; secondly, for breaking away from c onfinement when under the sentence of a garrison col trt- martial, and for absenting himself from head -quarters,. and not returning until brought back by an escort.

APRIL 17, 1849.—T0 Mr. Ji g gin g ' s, w h ere my Wife and I were invited to Tea and a little Musique, but we had much Musique and little T ea , t h oug h t h e Musique was like the Te.t in quality, and I do prefer a stronger Kin I of Musique as well as Liquor. Yet it was pleasing enough to the Ear to hear the fashion able Ballads, and the Airs from all the new Italian Operas sung by the young Ladies; which, though they expressed nothing but common-place Love and Senti ment, yet were a pretty Sing-Song. But to see the young Fellows whilst a Beauty was singing crowd round her, and bend over her shoulders, and almost scramble to turn over the Leaves of her Musique Book! li Besides the Singing , t here was Playing of the Piano vFoiourte,, the eitrh Piano oe beingit ccompplaayneidm Accompaniment a o s f to a ut Fi fa d t d .L le ad a y n d w ß iti a t s a s m et o but rbr sheall her did being ip so th f e a t K t e t y d s i . d amaze did call this Piece a Concert o, and I was told it was very r ) e b s r e i r l i p a t t i l o t n ; t but her e wh wa e s n a i n I it sked , noo s n v e h a c t Fancy, o uladn tell; y, o n, aii od uerily thought the Brilliancy like that of a Paste Buckle. It had not even an Air to carry away and whistle, and would have pleased me just as well if I had stepped my Ears, for I could discern Nothing in it but Musical Sleight of Hand. But, good lack! to think how, in these days, Execution is Everything in Musique, and Composition little or Nothing; forialmost no Account is made of the Master, and a preposterous Value put upon the Player, or Artiste, as the Frenchified Phrase now isl After the Concerto, some Polkas and Waltzes, which did better please me ; for they were a lively Jingle certainly, and not quite unmeaning. Strange, to find how rare a Thing good Musique is in Company; and by good Musique I mean such as do stir up the Soul, like the Flowers and Sunshine in Spring, or Storms and Tempests, or ghostly Imaginations, or the Thought of great Deeds, or tender or terrible Passages ie Poetry. My Wife do play some bravo Pieces in this Kind, by Mynheer Van Beethoven, and I would rather hear her perform one of them, than all I did hear to night put together; and so I did tell her when we got home, which did content her well. But every one to his Taste ; and they who delight in the trivial Style of Musique to theirs, as I to mine, not doubting that the English that have but just begun to be sensible to Musique at all, will be awake to the nobler Sort of it by and by. And, at any rat e , a n Evening of insipid Musique and weak Tea is better than sitting toping and guzzling after Dinner.—Punch. DEATII or A VETERAN.—James Henderson, ser geant in the 52d Light Infantry, died at Muse-lane, Glasgow, on the 11th inst. The sergeant in his day was a real hero, and had seen more service and received more wounds than generally falls to the lot of one man. Ile served in almost all the hottest of our Peninsular battles. He was present at the battle of Corunna in 1809—at Busaco and the capture and defence of Lisbon in 1810—at Fuentes d'Onore and siege of Almeida in 1811. In 1812 particularly distinguished himself at the storming of Rodrigo and Badajoic, hating upon both occasions volunteered for the forlorn hope. The same year he was present at the battle of Salamanca. In 1813 he fought at the battle of Vittoria, and in the same year v.,lunteered as one of the forlorn hope at the storming of St. Sebastian—was present at forcing the passage of the Adour; in 1814 at the battle of Orthes, combat of Turks, and battle of Toulouse—and at last in the glorious battle of Waterloo! The gallant sergeant was fourteen times wounded in action, some of which were very severe; and he carried to his grave two French musket balls received at Waterloo, which the surgeons could not extract from his body. Sergeant Henderson was a man of the most humane and tender heart, and in every way an honour to his profession.— Caledonian Mercury. RAMSGATE, 20.—The Clio, of Boston, Lin colnshire, from Alicata to Newcastle, got on shore on the Goodwin Sand last Night, during a gale from N.E., with snow, and has become a wreck; crow saved. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 'Ts uge , lt hying at the Bol:on Coffee-house, I'ooley- Borc,esy,ll. wa:; chm . ged obtaining money under Mr. John Retie, of No. 10, Osborne-street, White chapel, said that he had been in the habit of advertising in the Patriot and Briti , h Banner newspapers. Qn Monday last the prisoner called for the account, when witness told him that he was not prepared to pay it, as he should like to call at the office and see if evplything was correct, end that he might look in in the course ot the week. On the Wednesday the prisoner again called, but, as he (Mr. Relfe) had not had time to go to the office, the affair was put off until that day (Saturday). Before leaving the premises Crossley said that, if the money was paid to him instead of at the office, he could I allow him 10 per cent., upon which witness replied, that if that were the case he wonld prefer paying him. How ever, on Friday he went to the office, and discovered that not only was no percentage allowed, but that the pri soner was not even known there. Accordingly, that morning he had an officer in readiness, and the prisoner having called and been paid 71. 17,. 6d. for the British Banner, he was directly taken into custody. The pri soner, before he was apprehended, asked when he should call for the account due to the Patriot. Mr. John Charles Davis, of 69, Leadenhall-street, cutler, said that the prisoner called upon him for two bills, one for 31. 55., due to the Patriot, and the other of 31 for the British Banner, making in all 61. ss. Alderman CHALLIS asked when he paid the money? Mr. Davis replied, on the Bth of February. The pri soner had made application before. Mr. D. Pratt, of 5, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, publisher of the above newspapers, said, that no one was autho rized to receive moneys except the clerks in his office. He had never seen the prisoner. The prisoner declined making any remark, and Alderusao CHALLIS remanded him until Friday next, as there was no doubt fresh charges would be brought against him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Locke, a well-dressed youth, was brought bo fore Mr. Hardwick, charged with having obtained sub scriptions from the nobility and gentry under the frau dulent pretence of the said subscriptions being for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a lying-in institu tion. The prisoner is the son of a person name Locke who describes himself as the surgeon and manager of the Royal Belgrave Lying-in Institution, of No. 5, Chapel-street, May-fair, formerly of Trevor-square. On the prisoner a pocket ledger was found, which showed that about 401. had already been collected this year, 400/. last year, from various persons of wealth and dis tinction. Among the names of the subscribers were those of Mehemet Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador ; the Countess de Neuilly, the Countess Colleredo, the Peru vian Minister, Lady Walker, Admiral Cecille, the Princess of Parma, Lady Milbanke, the Marquis of Kil dare, &c. There were a number of papers produced by the police, one of which was a prospectus headed, `Royal Belgrave Lying in Institution, Trevor-square," her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent patroness, with about 40 duchesses, marchionesses and countesses as the committee of the management. _ . _ The charge against — the prisoner was for obtaining money from Sir John Lowther under fraudulent pre tences. Sir J. Lowther, of No. 127, Park-street, Grosvenor square, said that on Friday afternoon he was in his library, when a servant informed him that a person had called for a subscription due to the Royal Belgrave Lying-in Hospital, and asked for one guinea, being the amount of the alleged subscription. Witness told his servant to deny him, and the person, who turned out to be the prisoner, said he would call again. lu the mean- tima witness, having had his suspicions excited, made certain inquiries, which induced him to give information to the police, and accordingly Inspector Lester, of the A division, was in attendance at his house that morning. The rrisoner called about eleven o'clock, and on being shown into the room where he (witness) was sitting, said he called for the subscription to the Be!grave Lying-in Hospital, and produced some papers relating to the in. stitution. Witness placed a sovereign and a shilling on the table, and required uf the prisoner the name of the person who authorised him to collect the money. The prisoner said he was the son of Dr. Locke, who was a member of the committee, and pointed out to witness his father's name in a list dated as far back as 1832. Pri soner then produced a paper, which he requested witness to sign. 'the paper was an order for a person who, as he said, was desirous of being confined in the institution. From the appearance of the paper witness declined to sign it. The police-inspector was then called into the room, and the prisoner given into custody. Inspector Lester, on taking the prisoner into custody, asked him who authorised him to receive money on be half of the alleged society. The prisoner said he was authorised by his brother, who was secretary, and his father, who was surgeon to the institution. Witness asked if the institution was still in existence, and the prisoner said it was; that a number of poor women had been relieved by it within the last few months. Witness told the prisoner that he was an officer, that the institu tion was a cheat, and that he had been obtaining money improperly. Prisoner begged to be allowed to go home to his father, but witness said he could not comply with his request. Witness searched the prisoner, and found 31. 135., in addition to the 11. given to him by Sir John Lowther, which had been marked. Witness also found on the prisoner a gold watch, chain, and key, and several clrculars addressed to Mk mbera of the aristocracy, and a collecting book, containing the names of a number of persons from whom subscrip tions had been obtained. The prisoner said there were two collectors, himself and his brother, and that the institution was in Chapel-street, Belgrave-square. Witness had seen a house in Spring-street, and found it was a milk-shop. Witness was afterwards told thatlhe institution was in Chapel-street. Ho had seen the house 5, Chapel-street, Mayfair. There was the name " Locke, surgeon," on the door. The house was a dirty mean looking house, with no accommodation as a lying in institution in any of the rooms. Had reason to believe that the institution had been give up about five years ago. Found a paper with Sir John Lowther's name as a subscriber to it. Mr. HARDWICK asked Horsford if he had anything to communicate respecting this institution?— Horsford said, about ten years ago, in consequence of informa tion sent to the Mendicity-office, relative to the Bel grave Lying-in Institution, in Chapel-street, he pro ceeded to make inquiries. He found enough to convince him that the whole affair was au imposition. Last summer a lady in Eaton-square, ono of the duped subscribers, gave a letter to a poor woman to the pretended institution, havicg previously paid before hand the expenses of her approaching confinement. The poor woman of course had received no medical attend - once from this Royal institution, and, as there was a clear case of obtaining money under fraudulent pretences, he was instructed to take the impostors into custody. He went to Trevor-square, where the sham institution was situated, and watched the place for a week, but without success. He saw a few things go into the house, which the servant immediately after wars fetched away. The house was yellow-washed outside, but had nothing else to indicate that it was au institution. Several letters came to the house, which were taken in by a coachman's wife, who was employed and paid for this piece of service, and who would be able to give some important evidence about the doings of these parties. Mr. Ilaausucx inquired if there were not some pro ceedings with reterence to the same institution some time ago? Horsford said that the mother of the pri soner was taken up for obaining goods under false pre tences, and then some particulars relative to the cha racter of this institution came before the public. Mr. HARDWICK, addressing the prisoner—Now is the time to speak if you wish to say anything in ex planation. Prisoner—l wish my father to speak for me, and he will explain that the institution is still going on. The things which were taken from Trevor-square were to go to Chapel- street. We were moving at the time, and the house in Trevor-square was not then given up. Mr. HARDWICK—Where is this institution ? Pri- soner—The institution is at No. 5, Chapol-street. The institution only professes to attend out of doors. Women are only seen at their own houses, and there is no ac commodation required or given at the institution. The institution is merely an office for the women to come with their letters from the subscribers. One room is quite enough for that purpose. Let my father be sent tor, and he will explain all to you, and then you will see that the institution is still going on. Mr. HanDwicK—These papers produced by the offi• cers all bear date 1832. Prisoner—Yes, the institution was established in that year. Mr. HARDWICK—Has it since ceased to exist? Pri soner—No; it is at No. 5, Chapel-street, a private house. Mr. HAnuwtox said he should remand the charge for further inquiry on Wednesday next. RICHMOND. Miss Lydia Dixon, a teacher of music, who had been twice remanded upon charges of shoplifting, was brought before Mr. Penrhyn, and a full bench of magistrates, for final examination. Mr. Robert Smith, of Richmond, solicitor, was in structed by the friends of the prisoner to watch the case in her behalf. The evidence previously taken in four cases having been read over, and the depositions signed, Mr. PENRHYN said, that if one more case was taken it would fully establish the prisoner's connexion with the two abodes, and would be sufficient for the ends of jus tice. If they took: all the cases they would have to commit on 20 or 30 charges. Mr. Henry Steel, linendraper, iii George-street, Richmond, then identified some of the property found at each of the lodgings, by which the required link was ob tained. One othhr witness was Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, the widow of a CoMmon Councilman, living in Grove-road, Hammerscnith,who said she had known the prisoner, who was her god-daughter, from her infancy, and she resided with her up to the time of her apprehension, except when she was fulfilling situations as governess. The prisoner wanted for nothing, and could have had no ob ject in stealing these things. She was not aware that any stolen property had been brought to her house be fore it was shown to her by the officers. The prisoner I had had the br a i n f ever , an d h a d use d a s h ower -b a th for five years to relieve her head. The prisoner, after making some rambling statements, was fully committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, bail in 400/. being taken, with proper notice. THE Rev. MR. SHORE.—Mr. Shore's eldest daughter is the unwearied amanuensis of her father in prison, and is incessantly engaged in writing. Mr. Shore has already received upwards of three hundred addresses from public meetings and c o ng regations in various parts of the kingdom. besides other communica tions on various subjects.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS. , , .1 , and I a further rise oi-2s on old wheat. . per Taal w, ferior samples of wheat. Barley was also Is dearer. In Suf folk the quotations of wheat have been gradually further ad vancing. At Stowmarket on Thursday purchases were made with difficulty at a rise of 2s ; and at Woodbridge the quota tions were quite 3s above the rates of last week. The snow and frost this week have checked agricultural operations in the district, out the young crops are not injured. The fruit gar dens have suffered fearfully. WINCHESTER, APRIL 21.—Corn--Although this day the weather was brighter, the air was so intensely keen that seve ral large growers of heat expressed their fears that the frosts of the last seven days and nights had seriously injured the growing crops. This feeling, added to the fact of there being less foreign corn imported into Southampton last week, caused holders of every description to demand further advances, which for wheat, oats, barley, peas, and Indian corn were submitted to ; the show of fine English grain was small; of prime Dantsic, Stettin, Pomeranian, Odessa, and Hamburgh, but a moderate supply, nearly every sample fit for immediate grind ing finding purchasers at a further advance •f from is to 2s per quarter—several millers quitting this to attend Andover market, which is held later in the day, to purchase there also at a similar advance. The oldest farmers in this part of Hants declare they never witnessed so, little English-grown wheat offered for sale in the month of April. Barley—English Chevalier, weighing 541b1 per bushel, made 34s 64.

Wheat is a slow sale, at rather over former rates. There has being more doing in foreign for mixing, at an improvement of 101 per ton. Odessa sells at 91 10s to 10' ss, and Baltic wheat at 101 lOs to 11110 s per ton. Barley sells at former prices freely. Oats are Idto 2d dearer this week, and are in good demand. Oatmeal has advanced fully 6d to 9d this week, and is a free sale. • Indian core is in limited quantity, and in few bands at present ; and the needy buyers are compelled to pay an advance of lOs , to 15s per ton. Yellow, 71 17s 6d to 8/ 7s 6d ; white, 71' to 71 152 per ton. Flaxseed is a slew sale at 28s 6d to 31s per barrel for Riga, and 66s to 681 per hbd for Dutch. WATERFORD, APRIL 18.—Our supplies of all kinds of grain have materially fallen off, influenced by which and the recent advance in the English markets, caused an animated business this week in all sorts of breadstuffs. The following amendment must be made in previous quotations :—Wheat ind oats 6d per brl. ; flour and oatmeal, is to 2s per sack ; Indian corn, 2s per brl. ; and Indian meal, 3s per sack. In the value of butter and bacon pigs there is no material alteration. Bran in good demand at 6d per brl over last rates. CORK Arum 20.—We have to repo r t a d ec id e dl y i m p rove d tone and firmer feeling in the trade. The arrivals of foreign grain have fallen off very materially, and owing to this, as well as the large consumption going on at present, prices of every article of produce have advanced since our last. We doubt hot we shall have a still further improvement in the trade, but, as its extent will depend much upon the aspect of political affairs upon the Continent, it would, perhaps, be premature to enter too minutely into the subject at present. In regard to our home resources, with reference to the article of food, we find the " Mark-lane Express" now corroboration_the statements which some time since as to the smallness of the stocks held by the English farmers, the deliveries of grain from whom. have seriously fallen away. Our own receipts of grain are wretchedly small, and excite so little attention as to make quotations altogether nominal. In pre pared wheat (Irish) we have little or nothing doing. In foreign also but little business has been transacted, but prices have advanced 11 per barrel. We have no barley offer ing. Black oats have been in demand, and some parcels have changed hands at an advance of 6d to 9d per barrel. The flour trade at length exhibits symptoms of revival. We hive had a brisk demand for the article, and a decidedly improved feeling in the trade, during the week. Fine flours, which exhibit an upward tendency, have sold more freely, and for coarse descriptions we experience a brisk demand at full prices. Altogether the aspect of the market warrants us in believing that we are on the eve of a brisker trade in this, as well as all other descriptions of bread-stuffs. A large trade has been done in Indian Corn at an advance of fully 75 6d per ton, 8/ 10s being the asking price of prime Galata, 81 5s and, In some instances, 8/ 7s 6d having been obtained for the article. Indian Meal has met a freer sale at a similar improvement. Stocks of both these articles are rapidly running down, and should the supplies continue light as at present, the value of both, as well as of coarse flours, would be enhanced materially.

Goujon's in the constellation Crater. Both comets, it is said, are in very favourable positions for observation during the'ab sence of moonlight. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1054 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it fol.. lows that the exchange is 3.83 per cent, against England But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 21.—There was a fair attendance at yesterday's market, but the general bn ainess was on a restricted scale. Wheat gave way a Id to 2d per bushel on Tuesday's price, and flour fully 6d per sack and . barrel. Oats and oat meal, being in short supply, were he dd with much firmness, and a small advance in some cases was realised. Barley, beans, and peas all very dull. There was no c *Lange in Tuesday's quo tations for Indian corn, but the dema ud was not so lively yes terday. With the exception of Indi ian corn, in which a fair business has been done to-day at ful 1 prices, there is scarcely anything passing in the other articles the trade worthy of no tice, and there is no change in any of !he prices since Friday. MANCHISTIR, APRIL 21.—1 n the early part of the week the trade continued to exhibit an upw: ord tendency, and with a good demand for English flour, which has become rather scarce, a further advance of is to is t lid per sack was realised. Oatmeal was likewise in steady requt st at improving prices. Subsequently, however, the market a ssumed a more languid tone. From Ireland and our ewn colt it the arrivals at Liver pool and Runcorn are light ; but, alth, ' , ugh easterly winds have for the most part continued to prevail since our last report, the imports of foreign produce are agai a to a moderately fair amount. Our market this morning ti as of a quiet character, and the enhanced rates obtainable durit tg the week were barely maintained. However, we raise our qi rotations Id to 2d per 701 b on wheat, and 2d per 451 b on oaf ;S. Sack flour was in moderate request at is per 2801 b over the. currency of this day se'nnight, whilst American remained evithout change. Oat.- meal was held for an advance of I s per toad. COLIPHYSTER, APRIL 21.—A stand has been made in all the markets of the district this week by the farmers and the holders of wheat for a considerable id fwaece, but though the supplies have by no means been large, I ite rise has been limited to 2s per quarter.
