[The followimg appeared in our Third Edition of last night FRANCE. M. Fould, the Minister of Finance, gave a grand dinner on Tuesday, at which were present the Presi dent of the Republic, all the Ministers, General Changarnier, Count Mol6, M. Berryer, the Count de Montalembert, M. Dupin, the President of the Le gislative Assembly ; Count Daru, Vice-President ; M. Heckeren, Secretary; M. de Persigny, Minister 'Plenipotentiary to the Court.of Berlin ; the Marquis of Normanby, Baron James de Rothschild. At half past eight o'clock the entire suite of apartments were thrown open to an evening party composed of the elite of Parisian society. Notice is given in the Moniteur that the fourth quarter's pension, or temporary allowance, accorded to the citizens wounded in February or June, 1848, or to the widows and families of the persons killed on those occasions, is to take place at the beginning of 1850. The precise day is not stated. The Siècle says— " It is announce l that negotiations have been entered into betty 'n France and Turkey for the conclusion of a treaty of extradition. A similar treaty already exits between Fran . :e and England, the United States, &c. The crimes for which extradition may be demanded between France and the Porte are murder, robbery, for gery, fraudulent bankruptcy , rape, and le:gliny. It can not in any case be demanded for political offepces. The old ar. angernents between France and the Porte had not provided for the different quo tions of extradition, of which the tribunals of the south of France have long demanded the solution. The French consuls and agents in the Levant have all for some years declared that a new arrangement was necessary." General Bedeau has presented the report of the committee on the proposition of M. Clary, tending to have the time passed by the men in the Garde Mobile reckoned as military service, when any of them may have entered the new battalion of the Foreign Legion which is to be created. The com mittee is in favour of the proposition, and demands urgency, as the Garde Mobile is to be disbanded on the 31st inst. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the exports and imports of France during the eleven months of 1849 ending on the Ist of December, from which it appears that the Customs duties levied thereon amounted - to 117,487,282 f. During the corresponding period of 1847 they had produced 123,575,552 f., and in 1848, 80,447,893. The number of French and foreign vessels which entered French harbours during the last eleven months was 14,413, messuring 1,77T,774 tons, and those which cleared out 12,893, measuring 1,376,690 tons. In 1847 the number of the first was 20,008, measuring 2,641,148 tons; and of the latter, 12,391, measuring 1,400,378 tons. The coasting trade of France employed in 1848 64,027 vessels, measuring together 2,441,227 tons, and mounted - by 266,300 men. The quantity of merchandise and goods of every description conveyed by these vessels amounted to 19,180,303 metrical quintals.

The magistrates im mediately called out a strong force, and one or two me dical gentlemen; a mounted orderly was dispatched to Bouladuff House to summon the coroner, Thomas O'Meara, Esq., while the magistrates proceeded in the greatest }mate to Archestown.

POOR-LAW UNION BOUNDARIES.—A memorial to the Poor-law Boundary Commissioners from the rate payers of Nenagh and its vicinity has been adopted, praying for an extension of the area of the Nenagh electoral division, with a view to the diminution of the almost intolerable pressure of taxation on the town. It has been in course of signature only since Monday, and so fully did the ratepayers concur in its object that it has already received an immense number of signatures, comprising all the respectable ratepayers. Mr. O'Brien Dillon, the solicitor of the union, was requested to forward it to the Commis sioners, but it was subsequently resolved to appoint a deputation for the purpose, and the gentlemen selected to present it proceeded to Dublin to-day (Wednesday). —Tipperary Vindicator.

NENAGH CHAPEL.—The parishioners continue to manifest the same unswerving determination as ever. They still proceed in large numbers to the country chapels on Sundays for the purpose of hearing mass. The congregation who assembled at Carig chapel last Sunday from Nenagh, presented by far the most imposing appearance in point of numbers that has been witnessed since the unhappy affair commenced. Not less than some hundreds of foot passengers were present; and over forty side cars, each accommodating six or seven persons of the families of the respectable shopkeepers, drove from the chapel gates when . mass had ended.—Tipperary Vindicator. EMIGRATION or Paursus.—Lieutenant Henry, R.N., paid a visit to Clonmel union, and inspected the females intending to emigrate. He mentioned their destination to be Port Sydney, to which pla co they will be transferred early in spring. BURTON-ON-TRENT. DESTRUCTION OF MISS MARTINEAU'S BOOK ON " EASTERN TRAVEL." (From the Derby Reporter.) Our town has been edified and enlivened by a spirited contest between the parti-pretre, and the party who think that the right of private judgment should be accorded to their neighbours and that truth gains most by being allowed to fight her own battles. As usually happens in such strife, the triumph of the conquerors has been dashed by the consciousness of having hurt their own cause as much as they have thwarted the designs of their opponents ; and the chagrin of the defeated has been soothed by a little innocent satire on the zeal which procured their dis comfiture. The subject matter of controversy was the heterodox opinions of Miss Martineau, as they stand in her volumes of " Eastern Travel." The book bad been introduced into the public library of the town—the introduction being the perfectly regular act of the committee, which is appointed to act as taster to the town, and to guard against the serving up of any poisonous compound in its moral food. But as the dish circulated round the table of guests, first one and then another discovered a taint about it, and holding counsel together they sent it to the clergy to be analysed. These latter pronounced it unwhole some, if not poisonous ; and forthwith a member of the committee was prompted to move its expulsion from the precincts of the library. This was not so easy ; for among the committee of eleven were five who were known to be inconveniently addicted to a concilia tory tolerance on - religious questions. The law of the library, which gave the committee authority to expel a book, required that it should be of an "immoral tendency." However, when the conclave met, six of the eleven—all stout men, any one of whom would have broken Priscian's head as soon as look at him—decided by that infallible test, the ballot, that, spite of common sense and Dr. Johnson, immorality was synonymous with irreligion—or, in other words, that " faith" was one and the same thing as "goad works." By the same "experimentum crucis" they decided that Miss Martineau 's opinions were subver sive of Christian truth—that they themselves could discriminate the subtlest of questions of theology, and were fit people to dictate to their neighbours what to read and what to shun. Three mediciners, four attor neys, two brewers, a cheesefactor, and a laical magis trate, formed the whole Sorbonne ; and the six who formed the majority—though, as Costard said of the personator of Alexander, " good neighbours in sooth, and very good bowlers,"— were, like Master Curate _Nathaniel, a " little o'erparted "—when they took on themselves to solve and adjudicate a knotty paint of polemical divinity. Our acquaintance with their lives and learning scare -3 prepared us to ac quiesce implicitly in their decision. One may admire as little as possible Miss Mar . . tineau's defiant manner of presdnting her opinions, and one may spprAre as little the opinions them selves; but it would be much to say that she is not as sincere a Christian, and as capable of dis cerning Christian truth, as these judges of her doctrines. Miss Martineau, as all the world knows, is of the sect of Unitarians ; and this book of hers is everywhere imbued with her sectarian views She holds also some notions akin to those of the Neologists as to the manner in which the prophet Moses was directed in his work of giving institu- tions, a history, and a law to the Israelites. We are not aware that she seeks to invalidate a single fact or truth of the Bible, however she may differ from wiser or more learned people in the mode of inter preting its words, or in drawing inferences from them. lie would be a bold man who should say that any opinion she holds is an infidel one, or that her work altogether transcends the boundaries of Christian controversy. Now all this, we believe, was urged on the dominant majority of the committee. "You have admitted the book," it was said; " five of us here, who are as little inclined as you to accept its tenets, hold it inexpedient to turn it out. Many of the proprietors of the library and subscribers are of our opinion, and some of them may accept some of the opinions of the book. You have, therefore, to assume the preroga tive of stiginatialng and reprobating the book ; the act is a needless offence to some, amt an injudicious interference with the will of many others. It does not serve the cause of truth either; people will hanker after every error which you forbid them to examine. Have a little more faith in the power of truth, and do not be afraid lest error should beat her in open fight. It is only when you box up poor truth in cumbrous armour, and do not let her have the use of her weapons or a clear view of her enemy, that she gets worsted." To all this it was answered, " Would you let weak folk and children imbibe noto rious errors, that you may purge them away again when truth can find an entrance." "By no means," it was rejoined ; " parenti and guardians must look to the children's ways; there is poison everywhere, if you let them pick it up. A society must not lose its right of inquiry into truth freely because parents ne glect their duties." In vain ; the majority held, as every set of people will hold who are gifted with power, that nothing inconsistent with their opinions should show its face in the world. But what is the consequence 7' One copy of Miss Martineau's work has been destroyed, and now the town demands three or four ! Everybody wants to know what kind of errors they are which our self constituted moral guardians denounce ? BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

The cerzmeny of naming was performed by Allis Kennett, daughter of the owner. In the eve ning a supper was provided at the 11.4 in and Anchor Inn for the men em ployed in building her, at which about fifty sat down. Mr. Kennett presided, and Captain Wickham acted as vice-president. Among th e company were M r. G. K enne tt (who is about to tike the command of the schooner), Mr. Ilessell, Mr. I.lolmeA, Mr. G. Frise, Mr. A. Fuller, &c. Of the supper we have only to say that it was got up under the superintendence of Capt. Fowle, and all who have once partaken of his providing know there is no lack of good cheer. The evening was spent in great conviviality.

Some one in passing thought proper to turn it round and make off with it. When the poor man returned from fulfilling his duty, he found to his consternation that there was no method of egress. All his offorti to remove the obstruction were ineffectual. At length, not relishing the idea of imprisonment in such a place for an indefinite period, he made his appearance at one of the windows, and hailed the passers-by in the street below.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 21. Sittings at Nisi Prius before the LORD CHIEF ak- RON and a Special Jury, at Guildhall.) BOSANQUET V. SHORTRIDGE. The Attorney-General, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Un thank appeared for the plaintiff; Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Knowles, and Mr. F. Robinson were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is the representative of the London and Westminster Bank, and this was an action on a scire iacias on a judgment for 30,0001. recovered by the bank of the plaintiff against the Newcastle, Shiels, and Sunderland Union Joint Stock Bank. The question raised between the parties was whether on the day the scire facias issued, the 11th of Jan., 1848, the defendant was a shareholder in the New castle Bank, which it is perhaps needless to say is now reckoned among the things that were, the whole concern having suddenly gone to pieces in October, 1847, after having paid for several years, and up to the last moment, a dividend of ten per cent. to the fortunate shareholders. It appeared that the defendant was one of the trustees of the bank, and an origin - al shareholder, but that, after selling out from time to time, he parted with his last 100 shares in July, 1847, to a gentleman named Thew, and it was contended by the plaintiff that the transfer con nected with that sale not having been effected accord ing to the terms of the deed of partnership, the defendant had ,not thereby divested himself of his connexion with the bank, and that he was accordingly responsible for its debts. On the part of the defendant it was shown that his trusteeship was merely nominal, and that having become dissatisfied with the conduct of the bank he had applied for information to Mr. Chapman, the managing director, to whom the direc tion of the concern had been left by the directors, and that not having received any satisfactory answer he determined to part with his shares. This he did in the usual way adopted at the bank—the assent to the transfer being given verbally by the managing director alone, though the deed required the assent of four directors to any such business. This was admitted to be an irregular mode of proceeding; but it was the only course open to the defendant, the directors holding only quarterly meet ings' instead of those required by the deed. Under such circumstances, Mr. 'Thew became possessed of the last 100 shares of the defendant, by contract, on The defendants, however, in their defence, denied that the slightest violence had been used in the affair; indeed they asserted that the prosecutor had not only pointed out the instruments to them, but that he had stood by and looked on as they were removing them. Trey then called two sons of Squires, and one of his apprentices, who maintained that there had not been any violence show❑ towards the prosecutor, but that, on the contrary, he had himself taken up a piece of iron, with which he had threatened to strike one of the defendants. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both of the defendants. The Learned JUDGE said that this was a very serious case in itself, but it had been rendered doubly so by Squires having put his own sons into the witness-box for the express purpose of their emu mitting wilful perjury. There were many matters to be taken into consideration, and therefore he should respite the sentence until a future session, and in the mean time something must be done by Squires in respect of the money which the prosecutor had paid for one of the instruments. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Sir P. Laurie called ;at the justice-room in the course of the morning, to state that he had received a very pressing letter from a poor man at Dundee, who was anxious to ascertain the fate of a missing brother, and Sir Peter would feel obliged if any one would take the trouble to give him any information on the subject. , The brother had heard that such a person had been found drowned in the Thames about six months ago, but the newspaper file had been searched in vain. The name of the missing person was James Petrie, and, though a gilder by trade, he was reduced to selling newspapers about railway stations when he was last heard of. He is represented as being a man of middle stature, and thin, and as having rather reddish whiskers, blue eyes, a some what elongated face, with a nosy three inches long, and rather thick and prominent, especially towards the point. Mr. Alderman HUNTER. begged to announce the receipt of 201. in aid of the poor-box of Guildhall police-office;: the annual donation of the Goldsmiths Company, and requested an acknowledgment through the public press. the 6th and 13th of July, 1847, at 51 10s. per share, on U. paid up; it being agreed that the money should be paid on the 20th of August, and that Mr. Thew should receive the dividend, which would be declared in the interval, at the general meeting; that meeting took place in due course, when a flourishing dividend of 10 per cent. and a " sound business" were reported to the shareholders. 'On the 20th of August the money passed between the defendant and Mr. Thew, and in the October following the bank was declared to be in insolvent circumstances, and ultimately these proceedings were taken against the defendant. After much discussion it was agreed that a special case should be stated for the opinion of the Court above as to the operation of these transfers upon the liability of the defendant. A verdict was therefore taken for the plaintiff, subject to a special case. ASSIZE IN ThLLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. : —York, Dec. 20. CROWN COURT.—(Before Justice Clusswar.x.) Hannah Smith was indicted for perjury in having falsely sworn that she was married to Mark Smith at Sculcoates church, near Hull. Mr. Thompson prosecuted. It appeared that the prisoner had lived with a man named Mark Smith, at Hull, for some time as his wife, and that he, getting tired of her, left her, and she and a child six months old became chargeable to the parish of Hull; and on an inquiry before the magistrates as to her chargeability she swore that she was the wife of Mark Smith, and was married to him in Sculcoates church. This was disproved, and Mark Smith him self swore that he was never married to her. His LORDSHIP said, if the jury could rely on the evidence of Mark Smith they must find the prisoner guilty. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. 'I his case concluded the business of this court. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) William Hanson was indicted for perjury, for having sworn at the last winter assizes at York, in a prosecution against five men, named 'West, Leigh towler, Clifford, Hall, and Jowett, charged with a highway robbery upon him, that he had not said " that he could not swear to any of the parties that robbed him " to two policemen, named Routh and Wright immediately after the robbery ; and that he had not said that the men that robbed him had blue smocks on, and he could not identify them. Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Shaw prosecuted, and Mr. Hardy defended the prisoner. . It appeared that the prisoner had prosecuted the five men named in the indictment for a highway rob bery, at the last winter assizes, committed upon him very early in the morning of the 25th of July; and after a great many witnesses had been examined on their behalf they were convicted and sentenced to be transported for ten years. On that trial the prisoner swore that he had never said to two constables, to whom he made a complaint immediately after the rob bery, "that the men who robbed him were dressed in blue .mocks, and he could not identify them." Wit nesses were called to prove that he said this at the trial ; and one of the constables was called to prove that he had used those words after the robbery. The witnesses, however, differed so much in their account of what took place at the trial, and also as to what the prisoner had said after the robbery, that the counsel for the prosecution said there was so much discrepancy in the evidence that they could not go on with the case. Mr. lIAIDY, on the part of the prisoner, thought it right to say that he was prepared with evidence to show that the prisoner was materially confirmed in the statement as hich he had made at the trial. His LORDSHIP, in directing the jury to acquit the prisoner, said, the case turned on the recollection of 'conversations, and the very witnesses called to prove the conversations contradicted each other, and also gave totally different accounts of what had happened at the trial. This case showed how dangerous it was in this, and also in other cases, to act conclusively on the reports of conversations. The jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner. This case concluded the assizes. by public sales, the price has fallen fully 4s per cwt, par ticularly the low qu , .,lities.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) William Squires and William Weekes were in dicted for an assault committed upon a gentleman named Hardwick.,, Mr. Parry conducted the case for the prosecution. It appeared that the prosecutor is a gentleman who is extensively engaged as a shipper of goods to the colonies, and lives at N 0.12, South-street, Finsbury. In the course of the last month the prosecutor entered into an arrangement to buy two pianofortes from the defendant Squires' for the sum of 461. One of these instruments only was delivered in due course of the agreement on Saturday, the 24th ult, ; and for that the prosecutor at once gave the defendant a cheque for 231. The second, however, was not delivered until late in the evening of the following Saturday, but on its being tried by a professional friend of the prosecutor it was found to be of a very inferior character. Upon this discovery being made, the prosecutor called upon the defendant Squires, and told him to fetch the instrument away, as he would not keep it at any price. Ile also desired that he would give him the average price of the two, so that he might at once pay him any difference there might be in the price of the pianoforte which had been in the first instance delivered and the amount of 231. which he had already paid for it. Squires ac cordingly put the average at 251. for the.bettermost instrument, and all. for the inferior one; but he at the same time said that he would fit up another, which should be of an equally good quality with the first, the prosecutor offering to make up the differ ence by paying in the whole 48/. instead of 461. as originally agreed upon. Thus they parted, with the understanding that Squires was to send for the in ferior instrument. Accordingly, on the 3d of the present month, Squires, in company with the other defendant, Weekes, proceeded to the house of the prosecutor. Weekes is the proprietor of some vans, and had conveyed the pianoes to the prosecutor's. When the two defendants had entered the house, the prosecutor, having been called down stairs, pointed out to them the inferior instrument as that which was to be removed. After they had taken that out of the house the defendants commenced making preparations for the purpose of taking the other one also, where upon the prosecutor interfered, remarking that that pianoforte suited him, and, as he had paid 231, towards its value on the delivery, he should keep it. Squires would appear at once to have flown into a rage, ex claiming that as he was to take one he would take both; he laid hold of the prosecutor by the coat-col lar and swung him round to Weekes, who then held him by the cullar with both hands until the defendant, with the assistance of four or five other persons, had managed to accomplish the removal. In consequence of the noise which was npie, a Mrs. Pettifer, to whom the house in question belonged, came into the room where this scene was being. enictA, when, seeing the prosecutor in the rough handling of the defendant Weekes, she went up and told the latter that he ought to be ashamed of himself for his conduct. Weekes, instead of expressing any symptoms of re gret, said that if she had been swindled out of her property she would have adopted just the same steps for its recovery as those which they were acting upon. Several witnesses were called in support of the case for the prosecution, all of whom spoke in the most positive and distinct terms as to the violence of the treatment the prosecutor had received from the two defendants.

Oats and (situ:sell were in moderate re . pest, and realised id per 451 tis and 31 to 6d per load advance. For barley, beans, and peas there was a fair retail sale at full prices, Fine qualities of flour were held for rather more money, which checked the sale, but common runs were quite neglected. There was not much inquiry for Indian corn, but holders were firm at 30s per qr fur white, and 28s 6d to 29s qer qr for prime yellow. EXETER CEIRISTMAS 211ARKET, DEC. 21.—The show of fat meats of every description to-day has probably been the largest ever witnessed in this city. fo duly chronicle the catering of each particular butcher would occupy an amouut of space which at a time like this is out of the question. The thousands of burly yeomanry who have crowded our streets to day cannot but have been struck at the immense quantity of native agricul tural produce, which has met their eye at every turn. The natural consequence of a cheap loaf has been a greater demand for animal food, some of the spare bread being appropriated to the purchase of a bit of meat as well. Pork was also in abundance. There was such a supply of poultry, that it is almost a mystery what will be done with it. Pannier—Turkeys, 53 to 12s each; geese, 4s 6d to 8s do.; ducks, 4s to 6s per couple; fowls. 2s 6d to 4s 6d do; eggs, 12 for Is; butter, is per lb. Pork Carcases—A large supply, which sold at 65 6d to 7s 9d per score. BRISTOL, DEC. 20.—There was a short supply of English wheat at an advance of is per quarter, with a good deimand. Euglish wheat, now, sold at 38s to 42s per imperial quarter. In foreign wheat the transactions were not important, but prices were firm, with an upward tendency. Foreign white sold at 41s to 48s; foreign red, fine qualities, 40s to 44.; ditto, ordinary qualities, 38s to 40s; ditto, hard, 36s to 39s per 4801bs. For malting barley there was more inquiry, and previous rates fully supported. English malting sold at 27s to 30. s per im perial quarter; ditto and foieign grinding were in mode rate demand, sold sit 20, to 23s per 400 lbs. Oats were of slow sale, though a turn in favour of the seller, Devon and Welsh ,oats sold at 14s to 15s per imperial quarter; Irish white sold at 17s to 183 per 3_olbs; Irish black sold at 14s 6.1 to 15s 61 per imperial quarter.

Barley could only be disposed of by accepting reduced rates. Small parcels of oats have changed hinds at former prices. Peas and beans 6d to is per quarter lower. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and the turn on all qualities (wore particularly fine) was in favour of the seller, but we make no alteration in our quota tions. Barley firmly held for the currency of this day se'nnight. In oats no alteration. Beans and peas again 6d to is per quarter lower.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN. read the reports which app , ared in The Suit, containing the proceedings of two meetings of the guardians of the Caledonian Asylum, in reference to corporal punishment. to the children of that insti tution—and also the forcible leading article which you devoted to this cruel mode of punishment ; and I am more than gratified to observe in the Sunday Times of 3 esterday, the 16th, an ab'e, an enlight ened, and an impartial letter, addressed " To the Pc oile of England, on the Flogging of Females in London," by its poi:ular correspondent, Mr. Greville Brooke. His name is sufficiently known, and his comprehensive views on various y . subjects too full ai'mired and appreciated, to require any comment. He hand'es the subject with so much force and elo quence, that it will r, quire all the judicial knowledge of " one Mr. Hector Rose," all the theological expe rience of the Rev. Doctor Cumming, and all the military tactics of the Hon. Fox I‘lalle to answer it. At the first of these meetings a motion, moved by Captain Lamont, and seconded by Mr. Strickland, for utterly abolishing corforal punishment was negi tived Some of the hu - nane guardians thought that if a motion was I.ut or moved at a second meeting, to abolish corporal punishment so far es the g'rli were , concerned, it would le carried ; and accordingly, at a regular meeting of the general Court of Guardians, it was moved by Mr. Craigmyle, an I seconded by Mr. Tullock, to abolish corporal punishment so far as the girls were concerned—which met with tie same late as the former. I appeal to you a; one of the leading journalists of this country, is such a system of cruelty to be toler abed in this enlightened age ? The guardians of this institution would not even abolish corporal punish ment in the girls' department. Now, Sir, I believe, of all the journalists in this country (and I say so with out disrespect to any of your contemporaries), that you are looked to and expected to represent the wishes of the peopl3 in this country, " neither to give nor to take quarter, but to go on tearlessly in detend.- ing the rights of the people." I have attended meetings in London, and in various parts of England and in Scotland, where the present deplorable state of that glorious people, the Hunga rians, was discussed. I have heard it discussed aboard steamers, in clubm, in hotels, and at railway stations; and on all occasions I have heard favourable mention, made of The Sun newspaper for the energy, the talent, and the philanthropy displayed in its columns for fearlessly expsing the cruelties and alleviating the sufferings of that creA-fallen people. I know well the feeling that exists in the army and • navy in regard to the able manner in which you . defended the soldier and sailor in your noble endea vours to mitigate the torture of the lash in both services. You succeeded in reducing the number of lashes in both. You fearlessly, and very properly, exposed the cruelties perpetrated by despotic naval captains and commanding officers in the army. • You have been instrumental in a very great degree. in raising the indignation of Great Britain against Austria and Russia, for having crushed, hut not subdued the noble Magyars. Having affected so much in the cause of humanity, I appeal to you to come forward with all your energy, your power, and intelligence, for the purpose of abolishing corporal punishment. Captain Lamont, the venerable mover of this re solution, is, I understand, '•grown old in the naval service of our country," and he seems desirous to devote the close of his life in endeavouring to alle viate suffering, and to relieve distress among his fel- low-men. I fear I have trespassed too much on your ♦aluable time and space, but if you succeed in removing this mode of punishment, not only from the Caledonian Asylum, but from all the institutions of Great Britain, the mothers of England, and the intelligent of all classes in the community, will owe you a debt of gratitude. I am, Sir, &c., Dec. 17, 1849. A HIGHLANDER. RAILWAY SHAItI MARKETS. BRISTOL, DEC. 21. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market was tolerably firm to day.

Paritoor to THAMES. James 'Davy, .a fish hawker, was brought before Mr. Ingham, as he was about to leave the bench, charged wi h assaulting-:. Police constable Charles Rowbery, 347 K, in a rniiit brutal manner. The prisoner and the police - n -14 i appeared to have been engaged in a severe - conflict; and were covered with mud. ' Rowbery stated, that about half , past two that afternoon he saw the prisoner in the Broadway, Stratford, Essex, very drunk and disorderly, and sur rounded by a crowd of turbulent characters. Witness said to him, " Dasey, go home." The prisoner im mediately seized him by the collar, threw him on his back in a heap of mud, and fell upon him, exclaiming, " You --, you tried to rob:-me on Saturday night. I wish it was dark for your sake; if it was, I would serve you as one of your cloth was served twelve months' ago." The prisoner, in his defence, said he was drink ing at the Angel publk-house, and went out in front of the place with a pint pot in his hand, when the policeman interfered, and said, it If you don't drink the porter very quickly, I shall lock you up ;" and, be cause he would not swallow, his porter immediately, laid hold of him.-- The prisoner: then called the ma gistrate's attention to the state of his .clothes, which were torn, and to the bruises on his face. Mr. laGIIAM—I have no doubt those have been caused by your own violence. James Brown, 308 K, said he was called upon to extricate Rowbery, who was in the prisoner's grasp. Dasey was kneeling upon Rowbery, and had hold of his throat, and was punching him as hard as he was able. Be heard the prisoner say he would have RoWbery's life. Waller, the messenger of the court, said that while he was an inspector of the K division the prisoner savagely assaulted two police-constables, bit one on the thigh, which he severely lacerated, and kicked the other on the mouth after he had knocked him down. For this offence the prisoner was committed to prison for one month by the Ilford Beneh. Mr. INGuam said it was perfectly clear the priso ner was a most brutal ruffian, accustomed to such outrages as these, and the expression he made use of to Rowbery, that if he caught him in th• dark he would do for him, required no explanation. He should not be doing his duty to the public if he did not pass a very severe sentence on such a vagabond as the prisoner. He should order him to pay a fine of 305., and in default of payment commit him to the llouie of Correction at Ilford for 14 days. The prisoner was sent away to gaol. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
