Y.) ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) This day being set apart as the general petition day, previous to the dose of term, Lord Langdale was engaged throughout the morning in hearing consent petitions. VICE•CHANCERY,—(THIS DA (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) The COURT was occupied to-day in taking unop posed petitions and short causes. IN RE THE LONDON AND CROYDON, AND LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAYS. This was a petition presented for the purpose of ob taining payment out of Court of two sums of money invested in Stock, the residue of the purchase money of property taken by the two Companies of a person named Freen. This property was devised by Mr. Rd. Freeu to his son; with leave to dispose of it by will only ; both the London ard. Greenwich and Lon don and Croydon Railway Companys considered this as equivalent to a life interest in the property, and accordingly purchased it. By an order of the Court the money was invested in another portion of real property, which was devised by John Freen on his demise, to his five children, according to the terms of his father's will. There was a residue of the purchase money still remaining invested in stock, and the object of the present petition was to obtain the payment of those two sums.—Order taken as prayed. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WOODWARD. This was originally an application having for its object the consolidation of a number of small charities in the city of Bristol for the 'support of indigent per sons. The Charity Commissioners had recommended that one of these charities, which was possessed of an almshouse, should have centered in it all the other small charities, so as to convert them into one institu tion, instead of having them divided into small frag • ments. A great inducement to take this course arose from its being held out by several charitable persons that they were ready to present this consolidated charity with a sum of 8001. The decree of the Court referred this application to the Master, who had in quired minutely into nil the. circumstances of the different charities, and reported in favour of the ap plication.—LOrder granted, confirming the Master's Y.) report. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. K. BRUCE.) BARRY V. HILL. His HONOUR gave judgment in this case this morn ing. In this suit for tithes, by the rector of Brockley, in Somersetshire, against an occupier of lands in that parish, and the adjoining parish of Yatton, there were some points not in dispute. The plaintiff asked relief only in respect of the period between Lady-day in 1838, and the 31st of December 1841, the former being the period at which the composition subsisting between the parties ended, having been determined by a notice given by the plaintiff, and the latter being the time from which the statutary commutation of tithes had taken effect in the parish of Brockley. The relief asked was also restricted to the tithes of calves, lambs, pigs, foals, and agistment_ in Brockley; the tithes of such milk in Yatton as was produced there; of calves and heifers fed in Yatton with hay brought from Brockley while they were so fed ; and the tithes of calves, lambs, and foals in Yatton. As to Brockley, the right to this account had not been contested ; the question raised was merely whether there should be any and what directions as to the agistment of steers and oxen. The main dispute as to Yatton rested upon an alleged series of fraudulent removals of stock from Brockley to Yatton for the purpose of depriving the plaintiff of the tithes. The removals thus alleged by the plaintiff and denied by the defendant had been the subject of evidence on both sides. That upon proving a fraudulent removal for such a purpose, a tithe-owner would be entitled to relief, was a proposition which could not be doubted ; it was of ancient recognition in the Court. To prove this it was not necessary to refer to any more remote authority than the Ist of Roll's Abridgment, p. 42. His Honour then referred to several cases in which the judgment had turned upon the fraudulent re moval of titheable matters for the purpose of de frauding the tithe-owner. From all these authorities, said his Honour, it was clear that as on the one hand the mere fact of the removal of cows or ewes very shortly before the time of calving or lambing did not entitle the owner to claim in respect of the calves or lambs; so, on the other hand, he was entitled to relief if the removal was effected for the purpose of de priving him of the tithes. He thought the plaintiff's evidence in this case as to fraud was not wholly unmet. Smith's evidence did not appear to him to have that weight which the plaintiff's counsel had given to it. He said that he had observed the defendant's mode of using his farms in Yatton and Brockley ever since 1838, and where he had kept his stock during each year ' • and then came a particular enunciation, which , if regularly proved, would deserve great attention. He said that it was from a memorandum which he had made, that he was able to make the statement. The law of evi dence could not allow of a witness using notes in memoranda, unless he had some further recollection of the facts than as finding them written in a memo randum. The bill stated the defendant himself to have admitted or acknowledged to his servants and other persons the purpose imputed, but of this there was no evidence, and the defendant, in his answer, denied it; nor did the answers, taken by themselves, or in connexion with the: bill, offer in his judgment, either evidence of fraud, or grounds for suggesting fraud. From the plans and statements of both parties, it ap peared that the Brockley and Yatton farms formed substantially' a single farm. Having regard to all the circumstances, he coula not say that the plaintiff bad established a case of fraud. In support of the de fendant's answer, several persons, whose respectability he saw no reason to doubt, had deposed that the re moval alleged to be hen th fraudulent hen had been carried onon before the period of 1838, e comp came to an end. He had considered, how ever,' whether he ought not to put the case in a • train for further inquiry. Counsel had contended that the plaintiff was entitled to an immediate decree to the costs of the suit up to the bearing - , and the defendant's counsel having given his consent, he was in a condition finally to dispose of the costs up to that time. He had already said that the plaintiff had not satisfied him as to the case of fraud alleged by the bill. Independently of the question of fraud, he could not concede that there were good rea sons for filing the bill in May, 1840. In considering the question of costs, he was bound to look to the de fendant's answer. His Honour then read several pas sages from the answer. It was stated that in 1837, the plaintiff requested the defendant to give evidence against a Mr. Cox, who resided in Sutton, and against whom he had commenced a suit to recover tithes. Upon his stating that he was unable to give evidence as to the quantity of potatoes produced by a particular field, the plaintiff became exceedingly angry, and said he would give him to Saturday to brush up his me mory. The plaintiff declining to give evidence, several disputes occurred subsequently, and the plaintiff, it was stated, acted hostilely and vexatiously towards the defendant. His Honour said the mode of collecting the tithes had not been of a softening or winning kind. On the other hand, the conduct of the defendant appeared' to be that which usually resulted from such disputes. Neither appeared to have acted in a judicious manner. He declared that there would be no costs up to the present time. He did not consider the case of fraud as proved against the defendant ; his consent was not to be understood as an admission of fraud. He thought the plaintiff, by restricting the relief asked in the manner which he had done by his counsel had exercised a wise dis cretion. His Honour then directed an account to be aken by the Master. • QIEEN:S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) BOSANQUET V. GILAIIAM.—BOSANQUET V. BRIDGER. , The plaintiff in these cases was the public officer of the Westminster Banking Company. The de fendant, Uley Graham, was sued as the public officer of the Southern District Banking Company, and the defendant Bridg er was sued as one of Al Share holders of the said Company, a scire facias having been issued against him after judgment had been ob tained against Graham, in conformity with the pro visions of the Statute regulating Joint Stock Banks. Mr. THESIGEB had obtained a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why the warrant of attorney given by the defendant Graham, and the judgment entered up .thereupon, should not be set aside, and why the scire facias issued on that judgment should not be set aside. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared this morning to show cause against the rule, and took a preliminary objection to the title of the affidavits in the case, and contended that it was contrary to practice to have one rule in two cases. Mr. THESIGER denied that the cases were really separate cases, the scire laths against the defendant Bridger, as a Shareholder, being merely a following up of the judgment against the defenda nt Graham, in the manner prescribed by the Act of Parliament. Lord DENMAN said the feeling of the Court was aingatih itsneste a the eu d h N g , a a md lidity of the objection , but it would re serve judg m ent. In glnotloien.meantime the arguments The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the rule had been obtained on several distinct grounds. AY.) BAIL COURT._(THIS D IN THE MATTER OP CAPTAIN ARCHIBALD DOUGLAS, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL in this case moved for a mandamus on the part of the prosecution, directed to the Chief Justice of Madras, commanding him to h old a Court for the purpose of , examining witnesses, in THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENIN G, NOYEMBLR 24, 1842. order that the case may be forwarded for trial. The Learned Gentleman stated that his Learned Friend, Mr. Chambers, had a similar application to make on the part of the defendant, to which he was instructed to consent. The application, on the part of the Crown, was made without any affidavit. In this they followed the precedent set in the case of the "King v. Ste phens and Agnew." In that case an affidavit was prepared, but it was not found necessary to file it. Mr. Justice 1-Vlcm:tax—On the ground, I sup pose, that the matter contained in the information shows the necessity of the order. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Yes, my Lord. The' information shows the necessity of the order, and that the subject matter of the prosecution occurred in the presidency of Madras.l ice WiGuTmAN—But the witnesses may be in:London at the same time. It seems an ttnusnal course to grant such an application as you make without an affidavit ; but however, if such is the practice, you may have your rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—IR a case which Oc curred in the Court of Exchequer Lord Abinger said that an affidavit was not usual when the Attorney- General stated that it was necessary to have witnesses exami n ed.—A pplication granted. THE QUEEN V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. RICHARDS in this case applied to the Court, on behalf of Lord Sidmouth and a person of the name of Shackle, his tenant, for a mandamus commanding the Great Western Railway Company to give direc tions to the Sheriff of Berkshire to summon a Jury for the purpose. of assessing the com pensation due to them for the damage done to their property. The affidavits on which the appli cation was made stated that several acres of land required by the Company for their works were ren dered almost useless, and that applications were made to the Company to assess compensation, which were not attended to.—Application granted. IN TILE MATTER OF .THE STAFFORDSHIRE RIOTERS— APPLICATION roR A CERTIORARI. Mr. PRICE applied in this case on behalf of several prisoners now under sentence of transportation for de stroying by fire certain houses, for a certiorari to remove the recor& into the Court of Queen's Bench. The Learned Gentleman stated that the present application arose out of the trials of certain rioters, who had been tried and convicted before Lord Chief Justice Tyndal at the late Special CoMmission. The offence for which they were convicted was, that they had destroyed, cud pulled down , certain houses by fire, and the objection which he took was that they ought to be indicted for firing the houses. Fire was not an agent which would demolish or pull down houses, and there was no remedy for these convicts, if after returning from transportation they were taken and tried for burning houses. Mr. Justice WIGIITNAN ',inquired whether the in dictment was bad on the face of it. Mr. PRICE said it was not, for if otherwise,he would move for a writ of crror. When the precise offence charged is not borne out by the evidence, the indict ment cannot be sustained. All he required at present was to remove The record, he would then have to make another application. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN remarked that the applica tion to remove the proceeding into the Court of Queen's Bench was entirely unprecedented. There was no instance of such a course. In many cases parties have been dissatisfied with the evidence against them, but there was no instance of a certiorari being granted. The point which has been raised was for the Judge who tried the case.—Application refused. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY. The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hearing arguments on motions, which related only to points of practice, and were utterly void of popular interest. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY DOE DEM. ELLIS V. OWEN. This was an action brought in the month of March 1837, and after the prcceedings had been commenced the plaintiff was admitted to sue in forma pauperis. Previously to his having been so admitted, the defendant had received an order to recover from him certain costs. The question now at issue, and which was one of some difficulty, was, whether the plaintiff should be called upen to pay for costs thus incurred before he had been allowed to plead as a pauper. Mr. JERVIS, on behalf of the defendant, appeared to show cause against a rule obtained on the other side, calling upon his client to show cause why an allocator of the 11Iaster, awarding costs to the defend ant, under the circumstances we have detailed, should not be set aside. The Learned Gentleman contended that by the terms of the statute, and according to precedent, a party could be exempt from no costs, except those incurred after he had been admitted to plead as a pauper. Mr. TOWNSEND argued the point at some length on the other side. The COURT held, that according to the statute, and in equity, a party was liable for any costs incurred before he had pleaded, as a :pauper. The rule should therefore be discharged. SHERIFF'S COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Several short undefended causes were taken at the sitting of the Court. LAW V. DAW. This was an action to recover the sum of sl. 18s., being due for cigars supplied, and the price of atalking parrot. The defendant was a man about town, and the plain tiff was a cigar manufacturer, in Soho. The defendant was in the habit of purchasing cigars at the plaintiff's shop, and taking soda water, ad lib, in the summer. These various luxuries were put down. in a running account between the parties. The defendant used to smoke at the house of the plaintiff, and, one occasion, he heard a parrot chattering in the house belonging to the plaintiff. He wished to see it, and the parrot was brought to him, and the defendant taking a fancy to it, purchased it, but did not pay for it. The parrot was sent home to the defendant's lodgings. A witness was called to prove that the parrot could chatter beautifully. The UNDER- SHERlFF—Perhaps you had better call the parrot as a v‘itness, as it can talk so well. Further evidence was then adduced to prove that the other articles were supplied.. Mr. JONES, who appeared for the defendant, said he would not contend against such evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, for the full amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Edward Poole, a youth of respectable appearance, about 18 years of age, and Thomas Boman, a sturdy young countryman, were brought up from Bath, in custody of the principal Superintendent of the Police there, the former being charged with stealing a silver mounted cut-glass butter-boat, of the value of 121., and other property of a miscellaneous description, be longing to Mr. Thomas Hulse, of Burlington Arcade, silversmith and jeweller, and the latter with felo niously receiving a portion of the stolen property, well knowing it to have been unlawfully come by. It appears that the prisoner Poole was in the prosecutor's employ as shopman, and on the 9th instant absconded from his employment. On the following day Mr. Hulse missed the butter-boat in question, but was then not aware that any other property was missing. In the interim the prisoner, it seems, had proceeded by railroad to Bath, and took up his lodgings at the Britannia public• house, at Walcott, where he left in the bands of the landlord, as security for a small loan, the glass part of the butter - boat, and a va l u able knife and fork, Mr. Hulse's property. On the 15th inst. (last Tuesday week) 'the prisoner, Roman, en tered the 'shop of Mr. Young, of Bath, pawnbroker and silversmith, and offered a piece Of broken silver for sale. Suspicion being entertained that he had dishonestly come into possession of it, he WIIS asked if had any more pieces, and on his replying that'he had, he was told to bring all he had got, and they would he pur chased of him. He then went away, but quickly re turned bringing with him 11 more pieces, which, on being put together, formed the mountings of the butter-boat. He was given in charge to the police, and accounted for the possession of the property by stating that a young man he had met with in Bath, but who was gone on by the railroad, had given it him to sell. This story being unsatisfactory, he was d'Aained ; and the police having received information of Mr. Hulse's robbery, the prisoner Poole was ap prehended in a public-house at Bath, where he was accidebtally met with by the landlord of the Britannia, who had received notice from the po lice of the articles left with him by the prisoner having been stolen. On searching him twenty-one pawn brokers' duplicates, relating to the stolen property, and which had been pledged in London, were found. . Mr. HARDWICK asked if the prisoner Roman mas known to the police of Bath ? The Superintendent said he had been so for many years, as a daring and convicted thief. The prisoner Poole said it was no use his saying anything. The property spoken of all belonged to his master. The Superintendent said that Poole was taken into custody a few minutes after he had enlisted for a sol dier.—The prisoners were both fully committed. MARYLEBONE—(THIS DAY), George Danger, was charged with assaulting and putting in bodily fear, his mother, ' a respectably dressed old lady, residing in Shaw s-buildings, St. Pancras. It was proved that he came into his mother's house drunk, and demanded money ; which not receiving, h e took up a large stick, and struck her several times on the body, then seizing the poker he commenced a wholesale destruction of everything in the room. The police-constable who took him in charge said that tho prisoner had been at that Coirt before on charges of the like description, and that he associated with the most worthless characters in St. Pancras, spending in debauchery any little property left by his father. Mr. LONG said he was sorry the law did not allow him to punish him according to his deserts, but he would do the utmost that the law would allow him, which was to fine him 51., or commit him for two months. UNION HALL.—(THI* DAY.) Wm. Davis and John Holmes wern charged with; committing an assault on Mr. James, landlord of the Spread Eagle, at Dockhead. The defendants went into the Spread Eagle, and had not been in. the parlour long before • they inter rupted a discussion that was going on relative to the late triumphs in India and China. They, were 7:e quested to desist, and the landlord seconded the efforts to keep them quiet, but instead of paying any re r gard to what was said, they became qui, 1 „9,7 out rageous in their conduct, and occasioned a complete uproar in the house, until it was found necessary to call:in the aid of the police to restrain their violence. During the disturbance the defendants assaulted the landlord. They were fined 20s. each. A dozen more " casual poor" ,were brought up for refusing to work for the food and lodging they re ceived in Newington Workhouse. They were com mitted for two days, an to he passed. • - THE LONDON CAOI3TCHOUC COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) In consequence of an intimation that Mr. Warwick t N u N h . l o et iunbl bills se t t filed n leet d de r a mti in Chancery h n Ca e thi G oa nn u c i oe l f d r o l r r. t L i a i s del Leaf fg alleged tih t n o f rr ie s ns t ate gpee: t t htoe ment upon the above Company s patent, the Police-court was crowded with the fetal), hosiers of the metropolis. Sir PETER LAURIE presided. Mr. Warwick said that certain statements having appeared in the public prints which were injurious to Mr. Leaf's character, he (Mr. Warwick), after a con ference with that gentleman, came forward for the purpose of making the following statement. Mr. Morley called upon him, and after stating that he was the chairman of certain parties who were aggreived by the several Chancery suits, requested him to have an interview with Mr. Leaf to know what steps he had taken to put a stop to the injustice under which they were suffering. He replied that he was most dissatisfied, in the first instance, that any proceedings should have been taken against the retail dealers, . and had in sisted upon their immediate discont'Snuance. There was no doubt that they were in posses sion of goods that infringed the patent of the Com pany, but his wish was that wholesale dealers and im porters alone should be punished. Such being the sentiments of Mr. Leaf, he (Mr. Warwick) was quite sure, that if the gentlemen who were aggrieved had applied to him in a body, they would at once have ob tained redress. Sir PETER LAURIE—I understand that every shilling which has been taken ou t of the p ocke t s of these defendants, has been paid back again to them. Mr. Warwick—Yes, out of Mr. Leaf's pocket. Sir PETER LAURIE—I am delighted that this has been the result of this investigation, at which some individuals attempted to sneer at first, but which brought such a fortunate termination to a case which threatened 150 Chancery suits. Mr. Warwick then continued to say that after Mr. Leaf had acted as described, a meeting of the de fendants in the suits instituted by the solicitor was held on last Tuesday at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at which a resolution was passed to the effect that the meeting felt deeply grateful to Mr. Leaf for his honour able and kind conduct towards them. Mr. Leaf deter mined that the bills should be taken off the file of the Court of Chancery, not only in the original cases, but those of the remaininc , 53 ; and not only that, but he had also given him a.letter to produce in Court this day. . Sir P. LAURIE, upon receiving the letter, read to the following effect :—That the undersigned gave an assur once no further proceedings should be taken against the retail-dealers. It was signed by Mr. Leaf and other members of th e Company. He thought that the retail-dealers and all other parties were much indebted to Mr. Warwick for the conclusion to which the case had come. Mr. Morley said he thanked, on the part of those for whom he spoke, Mr. Leaf, for having paid 3801. out of his pocket in liquidation of the law expenses, and he also most gratefully tendered his thanks to Sir Peter Laurie, for only for him the retail dealers would have had to pay 1, 000 / . in costs. Mr. Wat wick had said that if the retail dealers went to Mr. Leaf the proceedings would hav e been dro pp ed ; b u t he could show from Mr. Warwick's own evidence at the last meeting th a t such was not the case. Mr. Warwick—l am ready to state, on my oath, that Mr. Leaf did all he could to prevent the oppres sion of the small dealers. Mr. Morley—As Mr. Leaf has al read y p aid 3801., it would be a gracious act in him to pay about 40/. more out of his pocket to take the bills off the et also rend e r file of Court. Such conduct would g ive com p lete satisfaction to the great body._ o f the metr o p olitan hosiers, and it'wonl j u stice to men who were unjustly persecuted. Mr. Morley here ad dressed Mr. '‘Varwick, and s a id, "Will you allow me to state, through you, to the retail dealers, that Mr. Leaf will take those bills of the file ?" Mr. Warwick—l have no authorto make such a promise On the part of M r . L ea f. What might such a proceeding cost in such case ? Mr. Morley-21., perhaps. Mr. Warwick—l could not undertake to make this tion)—or perhaps 1/. ss. —(A promise if the sum exceeded 1/.—(after some hesita- L Leaf, that i E t 1 t h e LA bills ti R should lE said ba all taken p voice a.rti i e r s o o ffi— i , it another half-crown.")

All parties having Peter, the meeting broke up. expressed their thanks to Sir THE SHIRT-MAKERS AND THE ARMY AND POLICE C LO THING -MAKERS.—Since public attention has been called to the prices which are doled out by the whole sale shirt-makers to those whom misfortune compels to earn a subsistence by their needle, a very strong feeling has been expressed on the subject. But while something has been done, and more will be, for the shirt-makers, it may be as well to mention another class of persons—women who earn a scanty subsistence by making portions of soldiers' and policemen's dress, and who are equally imposed upon either by the con tractor or some "middleman." It will hardly be be lieved that the actual maker receives but sixpence per en a c n e d halfpenny fiP en pair for the grey trousers and red sidepiece ; the same for summer drills for the Foot Guards ; tenpence for trousers,'os trousers tenpence is paid, and out of en have to find their own thread.— c fo f ta o rhi r neaan t p h de e i rmo w rf ' . h dL i white sew l eo r it i .ie l e l . s . can our Contemporary so far forget the jctFpahe For policemen te l t. t r hs y [e N andpooi „so v,m. re gard due to his readers, as to write about such things ?

PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY* — What becomes of all the pins ? says a paper involving some singular points of manufacturing economy. It appears from Pro fessor Parrington that twenty millions of pins are daily manufactured in this country. These get into general circulation, and, after a time, entirely disap pear ; but the remarkable fact is, that, like the swal laws, nobody knows where they go to. It is proved that, were it possible to recal these lost articles, a quantity might be collected sufficient to build the projected foot-bridge at Hungerford-market, and the residue might be cast into one enormous Pin, which should be erected as a column in any part of London best suited for its elevation ; and to be called Victoria's Pin, in opposition to Cleopatra's Needle at Alexandria. There would be a winding staircase in the interior, with a saloon in its head; and it might serve as a landmark, in stormy weather, for the fourpenny steamboats 1 -plying between Vauxhall aud London-bridge. —P unch.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The mystery which prevailed yesterday concerning Mexican stock is not yet cleired up to the satisfaction of the parties concerned. The agents bad, it appears, from time to time been asked so many questions as to the amount of stock"that they declined answering any more ; and the last inquirer having failed in taining the answer he desired, he made the question an affair of the Stock Exchange Committee, who wrote to Messrs. Lizardi, requesting to know the amount of Mexican stock which they had issued. The reply of the agents was sent to-day, and was to the effect, that they knew of no precedent for an agent of a foreign Government answering such inquiries with out the authority of the Government which he repre sented. They added, moreover, that the conversion being yet incomplete, an answer could not as yet be given as to the amount of stock issued, but that when it was finished they had no doubt the Mexican Go vernment would authorise its publication. - The Committee of the Stock Exchange, under these circumstances, intend to push their inquiries further. The public securities maintain their former buoy ancy. India Stock has advanced to 2q4 to 266, and Bank-Stock is 170 to 172. Consuls for Money and the Account closed 94- sellers. In the arrangement of the settlement, which to-day occupied principally the attraction of the brokers, every facility was ob tained in the abundance and eepness of money. The improvement in the value of Stock is taken at about 1/ per cent. on Consols, and a rather greater rise on the Reduced Securities, during the period the present Account has TIM ' "The Royal brig, le Meleager, had given an asylum to several Spanish refugees. The Com mander had received on board the family of the Captain-General. It is thought that the move ment, the object of which is not yet known, will spread to all Catalonia, at Saragossa and Valentia. The members of the Junta say that there is no conspiracy, and that the people had sponta neously taken up arms to defend their rights, attacked by the imprisonment of the editor of the journal called the Republican°, and by the orders given by the Government to submit to the military enlistment. " The provincial deputation had been called by the Junta to take measures of order and secu rity from the very commencement of the revolt. The seven constitutional Alcades had taken re fuge on board the Meleager. " The surrender of the Artarrazanas has taken place, and the following proclamation to the in habitants of Barcelona was published by the poli tical chief on the 14th, in the evening, on the sub ject of the troubles : " PROCLAMATION PUBLISHED BY THE POLITICAL CHIEF. " BARCELONA.—Yesterday night public order was disturbed in this beautiful and populous capital by some seditious and evil-intentioned persons, in con travention of the laws, and the tranquillity of the popu lation. They began the distUrbanee by insulting the guard at the Port del Angel. According to the in formation that I have received from the General in command of the place, the groups formed around this post having been dispersed, others collected before the Casas Consistoriales, some among them being armed with muskets. The brave guard of the National Militia kept them in check. Warned of what was going. on by the Governor-General, I marched imme diately with a strong escort to reinforce this point. At the entrance of the Place St. Jayme,l was insulted by some groups who had assembled there, and who endeavoured by their cries to prevail on the guard not to receive me. But as soon as I had given orders to the troops to charge them, they dispersed and aban doned the place. Immediately afterwards the Con stitutional Ayuntamiento assembled. lts patriotism and love of legal order are well known ; and, in con junction, with me, it deliberated on what was to be done. _ " Some National Guards, who had been either se duced from their duty, or were of the number of those who dishonour their unifortn and sully the arms which their country has given for the defence and the main tenance of public tranquillity, assembling together without any orders from the authorities, proceeded lo the quarters of the third battalion ; there were among them an officer and several National Guards armed with muskets belonging to other battalions. 'This force dispersed of its own accord, as soon as it knew that the authorities were taking means to reduce them to submission ; notwithstanding some of them who there was reason to believe had been the pro moters and the chief of the insurrection, were arrested in the office of the Republicano. At six o'clock in the morning I retired to my own house, having dismissed the troops to their quarters, with the satisfaction of having restored public tranquillity, to the re-establish ment of which the authorities and all the corps of the army and militia effectively contributed. The militia not only contributed to support the authorities when its aid was called for by them, but the great majority of the National Guards, despising the appeals of the insurgents, remained quietly in their houses, disposed not to take arms but when they should be called upon to do so by legitimate authority; and I took that oc casion to thank these good citizens in the name of their country. " Unfortunately, the public peace has been again disturbed to-day. Groups assembled before the Casas Consistoriales, demanding satisfaction for my conduct, and the release from prison of these whom I had caused to be arrested. Five young men separated themselves from the rest, forced a constitutional regidor to ac company them, and came as a deputation to me, in the name of those wretches who call themselves the people ; unfortunately for them they found that I had firmness enough pot to accede to their criminal de mand, but to have them arrested and delivered over to the judgment of the tribunals. In consequence of these facts, and public order continuing to be threat ened, making use of the powers which the law invests me for its maintenance, I ordain and command : " Article 1. Every meeting of an armed force of the National Guards is forbidden, unless it be con voked by the local authority, under the orders of which it 15 placed conformably to the laws. " Art. 2. That the officers of the said guard are per. sonally responsible if they call- together any armed force, except under the orders of the said local au thority. " Art. 3. Every armed body, not forming a part of the permanent army or the National Guard, con voked by the proper authority as above mentioned, shall be arrested and retained in the quarters of the Artarrazanas until I shall have been informed thereof. " Art. 4.,The assembling of more than ten persons in the squares and istreets of the 'town is forbidden. If, after being three times summoned to do so, they do not separate and withdraw, the patroles , or any other armed body which may be employed in the main tenance of public order shall disperse them by force of arms, arrest all those whom they may be able to lay hold of, and conduct them to the quarters of the Artarrazanas, that they may be afterwards delivered ov er to the tribunals , an d tried conformably to the laws, and particularly to law 5, title,2, book 12 of the Novissima Recapilacion. ' " Art. 5. Conformably to the said law, the orders above cited shall be in force immediately after the pub lication of the present proclamation, which shall be made with the greatest solemnity, according to the laws and customs of the country.

NEW BBEAKWATER.—The steamer Monkey re cently arrived in this port, having in tow a cylinder of large dimensions, and freighted with heavy iron work, forming the material for a section of a floating breakwater, the invention of Captain Groves, late of the Rifle Brigade, which is to be moored experimen tally in the bay. Captain Groves has been busily engaged with several workmen during the last fort night in framing and, putting together the different parts of the work. Judging from its appearance,. there is nothing complicated or difficult in its con struction. The whole is of iron. The cylinder sus tains a grating, attached to it by hoops, and firmly braced by stays passing round the cylinder, and very securely - bolted into the bottom of the grating. The draught of water will be about twelve feet, and it will be moored broadside to the sea, both to landward and seaward. Nautical men stly that the doubtful part of the experiment is the ability of the moorings to resist the immense strain to which they will be subjected. - Although this experiment is made with the sanction and under the auspices of Government, Capt.

The widow Rocaserres, residing at Levie, was mortally wounded by a pist6l - fired at her by a cousin of her husband's, be cause this latter had left her all his property. This murder will have the effect of bequeathing to the in pro commune of Levie a dreadful hostility, to which no inhabitant can remain a stranger." a is re in n te m ed to be g re l s 'i s t , °l a 'c' a s d il a p pp i lta li tio v nlo s.— Pa S r u lia n m 'eeYnst made in the ensuing session for leave to construct a branch railway from the Blisworth station on the London and Birmingham Railway to Northampton and Peterborough, and likewise for another branch to Leamington and Warwick.

SOUTUEND.—The 19th instant was a most beauti ful day, the wind at S.W., when about nine ' o'clock in the evening it shifted to S.E., and began • to blow a fresh breeze. About twelve o'clock the rain fell torrents, and the wind then blowing a strong al boats and vessels put off on the look out. They g had e, not to go far to find a job, for directly off Southend lay not fewer than nine ships driven on that dangerous and well known sand, the Nore. The gale at this time had increased into a perfect hurricane, and the de struction amongst the shipping w so me drawing their anchors, - as most dreadful, running into each other, bulwarks cracking ani When the anxiously smashing in ,every direction. looked-for daylight came, the water was covered with ' sprits, Herald .pieces of yards, i • ,masts, bolt‘ &C.—Essex H There was a smart fall neighbour hood of snow in the of our city on the night of Monday last.—Bath Chronicle. A very curious statistical return has just been fur Dished by Mr. E. Deas Thomson, Colonial Secretary relative to our Australian colonies, exhibiting the pro gress they have made within the last ten years, whicl is in many respects very remarkable. For in stance, the total value of imports into New South Wales, including the district of Port Philip, was 604,6201. in 1832, and 2,527,9881. in 1841 ; the value of the experts was respectively at the same periods 384,3441. and 1,023,397/. These returns show the re markable fact of a gradual increase of trade up to the year 1840, at which point it abruptly ceases ; the next year showing a considerable decrease. In the returns which regard the district of Port Philip separately, however, the same decrease is not observable in the exports. The amount for which this place figures in the total above stated for 1841 is, for imports, 335,2521. and 139,1551. for exports. The total value of the imports of grain into the colony, ' including Port Philip, was in 1832, 13,3651., and in 1841, 201,632/. ; the returns in this parti cular show the same decrease which affected the whole trade in 1841, the article flour and bread forming the sole exception, and, on the contrary, showing a considerable increase. The return of land in cultivation throughout the whole colony, at the close of 1841, shows the principal produce to be wheat and maize, of which the number of acres is respectively 58,605 and 25,004, producing 832,776 I:ushels of the one, and 503,803 of the other. The number of ships built and registered in the colony was 21 in 1832, the total tonnage being 2,143 ; and in 1841 the number was 110, the tonnage being 11,250. The revenue from the sale of Crown lands in the colony was, in 1832, 12,5091. 13s. 10(1. ; in 1840 it was 316,6261. 7s. 5d., having gradually increased every year till then, and in 1841 it fell to 90,387/. Among the miscellaneous news from Egypt as col lected from private letters, it is stated that the mor tality among the cattle continued, and was supposed to have destroyed 150,000, from which cause, and the slow rate at which the Nile was subsiding, the labours of agriculture were almost suspended. The importa tion of mares is being carried on with great activity, to augment the breed of horses for, the purposes of agriculture. Four Egyptian frigates have been de voted to this service, two of which have lately returned from Silesia with a cargo of 370. CHRONICLE.—The private letters from the East were delivered to-day, and we cannot avoid ealling,attention to the important announcement con tained in the supplement to the Canton Gazette, re ceived in one of them, that an officer of high rank from the Court of Pekin is immediately to set out to repreSent his Sovereign at the Court of St. James's. The presence of the Chinese Ambassador at the first drawing-room . next season would, indeed, create a sensation ! The same authority repeats that consular officers are to be established at the ports of Canton, Amoy, Fow-choo-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghae, which are to be thrown open to British merchants, and that a regular and just tariff of imports and exports, as well as of transit duties, is to be established and published. Our Canton Contemporary adds, " We do not see that any time has been stipulated for the ratification by the Emperor of China ;" but is of opinion that the presence of the British force commanding the city of Nankin cannot fail to impress his Imperial Majesty with the necessity of expedition. Chusan and Kolongsoo are looked upon as a sufficient guarantee for the fulfilment of the treaty ; and Hong-Kong remaining a British settle ment, will always be able to muster a naval force sufficiently strong to keep the Celestial Government in due subjection. No d ou bt i s en t erta i ne d in com mercial circles of the due ratification of the treaty. The great anxiety is how to turn it to the best advan tage. The chief difficulty at first will be to select the proper description of goods for the Chinese market. At present they are consumers of our cotton twists and coarse long c10th...; but when the trade is estab lished on a free and proper footing the demand for ar ticles of the highest quality of manufacture and em ploying the greatest amount of labour will be exten sive. Merchants should be cautious, however, and not rush headlong into stock without some means for guiding them in the selection. llong-Kong should be declared a free port, or at least open to the ships of all European countrie s ; at ver y low .d ti it duties, "as to make it the general entre p ot for goods it ened for the _ China market.
