The mercantile letters from St. Petersburg reach to the let of Januery, arid scarcely harmonise with the subsequent telegraphic reports of the failure of the nego tiations. The arrival of Baron Seebach, which had taken place two days previously, had been followed, it is said, by a great stir at the Palace, after which the counting• house of M. Stieglitz,the Court banker, was thronged with high military personages, who were buying up the new loan and other funds and stocks with much eager. nese. On 'Change, it is added, nothing was talked of but the chances of peace, and many of those who had been among tee most despondent had become quite san guine. AP, the seine time a story was iu circulation that an old ukase of the Empress Catherine had been disco vered, proposing to make the Black Sea a commercial one, and that in consequence a limitation may be acceded to without acting in opposition to her view. Finally, it is remarked, " %V have not had such a state of excite ment for a long time, particularly as last week it was reported that the propositions made by ambassador were inadmissible." the Austrian Annexed is an extract on the same subject, and also on the feeling which prevails as to the course the allied fleet.' may adopt in case the war should be continued:— " Yesterday, on 'Change, we had a conclave of the principal houses. All began to hope for peace ; but none would act on the strength of such hopes. Many are restrained hum operating on the spot who would otherwise do so by the fear lest in the pr ose cution of the war we should not be safe in this capit a l. F o r my part, white allowing the possibility of such an event, I do not think we should get a sight of the gun-boats here, even supposing the port were destroyed; for unless they went high up the river to injury they would cause th e G overn . ment would be email. Private individuals would suffer heavily, and particularly the English, w h o mostly live on or near the ban ks of the iiver. It would be very dis agreeable to be shelled out by our own coun trymen ; and I hope, if they do intend anything so uncivil, they will give us due warning. I think such a measure would only aggravate the feelings between the countries, unless they could take complete possession of the capital ; and believing that to be excessively difficult, if not impos sible, I expect that in the event of War continuing the destruction of the port (Cronstadt) will be considered sufficient in this quarter. " But I still think we have a fair chance of peace, for the moral verdict of Europe must and will have a power ful effect, and that something is at present in the wind no one here doubts. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT NRWOASTLE-ON-TYNE, The inquest on the body of Hannah Beardemore, the wife of Joseph Henry Beardemore, of the Railway Ar cade Hotel, N e wcastle -on-Tyne, terminated on Tuesday evening. Robert E lwards, a sailo r , resi di ng a tT es t er ' s -- court, Boston, Lincolnshire, and who slept at th e hotel on e r t o b w e annigyhfhtuirctie g r tie li e g t h ie t on e'wae examined, but failed to the transaction. He said he was in liquor, and did not know much that passed. He lying in the passage. Beards moredeceased said, "Take him away ; be has alloye d me out o f the windovr.” Beards went down into the pa ssa g e af t er hearing the crash of glass, was and standing the deceasedby7d aand more made nn reply. Antho ny Forster Barron, cabinet maker, and Wm. H owdon La mbert, cattle dealer, both a residing in this town, were also ex am ined. Th e y both slept at the hotel on the night ix question. It will be remembered that one of the policemen stated that when Beardsmore was charged by his wife with having thrown her out of the window he stated that he had caught Bar ron and her on the stairs together. Mr. Barron said there was no ground . for that st a t emen t . An had never taken any liberty w ith Mrs. Beardemore. Neither of these witnesses carried the ease further. The coroner told the jury that if to escape from her husband's vio lence the deceased had gone to the window, and either thrown herself out or overbalanced herself and fallen out, he would be held g uilty of manslaughter ; but if he had thrown her out, t hat of course would he murder. The jury returned a unanimous verdict that Beardsmore was guilty of manslaughter. He is at present out on bail to appear before the magistrates. THE COMMAND-IN -CHIEF OF THE MADRAS ARMY.— Our readers have already been prepared for the an nouncement which we now make, that Major-General Patrick Grant, C. 8., was last week appointed Com mander-in-Chief of the Madras Army, and a member 01 council at that rresidency. He is to be entertained by the Court of Directors at a grand farewell banquet on the 2d of February. The occasion will be one of no com mon interest. Now, for the first time, has a Company's officer been appointed to the command of one of the Company's armies. An old and vicious system of ex clusiveness has been broken through, and the service in which such men as Ochterlony, Malcolm, Close, Munro, and more recontly Pollock, Nott, and Gilbert, have grown gray, is no longer to be under a ban. The Court of Directors, as we have already intimated, have carried this point not without opposition. They have fought the battle v.ith becoming resolution, and in being true to the etiloas have been true to themselves.—Sinia and 't .Elder's Overland THE BANK CHARTER ACT. The following letter has 13eezz addressed to the editor of the 'I imes . Sir,—The discussions which now agitate the public mind respecting the Bank Charter Act are involved in some confusion, in consequence of indistinct and inac curate views of the real object and purpose of that mea sure. The failure or success of its provisions in their application to present circuitistaiices can be correctly judged only by those who chiarly understand the prin ciple upon which that bill was founded, and the pur r() ;es which it undertook • tcs , accoupish. To obtain for the public the profit wisiug from the issue of 14,000,0001. of notes not repemented by gold in deposit, consistently with the maintet tams of a circulation in all other respects the same as a metallic circulation, was the object of the bill. Except: in this one respect, it did not undertake to secure any •advantages to the public beyond those which would ariise from a purely metallic circulation. The fluctuations, of amount and the conse quent, pressure, whether co,tvenient or inconvenient, which would occur under a -metallic circulation were left unaffected by the bill of 1844. But two objections are now' raised againSt that mea sure. What necessity, it is asked, for disturbing the state of things as it previouel . r existed ? The payments iu specie, as restored by the act of ISI9, had been main tained from that time without the aid of the stringent provisions of the act of 1844. These provisions, it is furth'vr urged, purporting to re strict the amount of the circulation, are wholly unne cessary, and, in fact, inoperative, inasmuch as the cir culation was not unduly incremeed in the periods preced ing the great crises of 1826 wikki- 1887. ; nor tag thy - cit ciliation, in fact, been materiallreontracted during 'the period of pressure through which we are now passing. What, then, is the purpose, ansi what are the useful re sults to arise from legislative provisions, purporting to regulate the amount of the circulation, but which, in fact, leave the circulation undiminished'? The obvious reply to this objection is, that some special cause must have existed to sustain, it not to originate, the expansion of credit and speculation which preceded the catas trophes of 1825 and 1837, a'le', some special cause also must now be in action to produce the restriction of credit and general pressure the exis:•.sence of which gives rise to the present discussions. If contraction of circulation. 'has not really occurred at former periods, and is not, to :any great extent, in ope ration at the present time, what is the special cause iu which the phenomena already ahuded to have originated ? Under the system which exist ed before the act of 1844, the Bank had the power of malt ing unlimited issues, and that power only ceased when their gold was absolutely exhausted. This being, the cam, a dram et gold in its earlier stages attracted little or no attention on the part either of the public or of bank ire. All went well, not withstanding ; there was no consciousness of nay de crease in the power of cominarAing bank-notes ; credit, confidence, speculation remained unaffected, until the geld was reduced to a very low amount. Tilt n arose a sudden alarm for the safety of our specie payments ; every strange resource was invoked in the last extre mity to obviate this evil ; a paaeeel of old discarded one pound notes was drawn fui th from a refuse cellar in 1825 ; the assistance of the Brsak of France was igno miniously sought in 1837 ; aim. thus the last extremity —the actual failure to pay in gold— was narrowly avoided. . Meanwhile, however, panic mind presS • ure iu the most extensive and a,:Travated for s spread over the whole country ; and a state of alarm„ distress, and contusion was generated, with which thts preserit gradual, re,gu lated, and wholesome pressure -will bear a very favour able contrast. To prevent the recurrence of! this state of things the bill of 1844 was passed. The uninterrupted continuance of confidence and credit during: a continuous drain of gold; the expansion ef bankrig accommodation in the lace of decreasing treasure, the , only safe measure of that accommodation ; the exhaustioea of the bullion reserve unaccompanied by any protecttive measure ; the inunie nent danger of final insolvency by the Bank; the discre ditable expedients necessary to ooviate this danger ; the sudden, severe, and universal Alarm and pressure must not be permitted again to ietuern. Non soluta a cala mitate, sed calamitatis metu, .defendendunt est. Such was the wise and manly decision cf the public, and for this purpose the . ptrovisions of the bill of 1844 were resorted to. The power of issuing notes was subjected to a positive and clearly-defined re striction ; it must expand or contract with the increase or decrease of the 1:eullion. The power of issuing notes by the banks, it will be observed, was re strieted ; the notes actually advanced to the public by the banks might possibly remain with little alteration of amount, while the power of nmintaining that amount of issue, or of increasing it, might be seriously dimi nished. In this consists the g mat distinction between the state of things previously wasting. and that which was established by the bill of 1844. Previously to 1844 the reserve of notes in the bank was unlimited ; subsequently to 1844 the amotrat of such reserve was subjected to strict limitation, being made to depend on the increase or decrease of the gold. In the evidence before the committee of 1848, atten tion was pointedly directed to tesis very important effect of the bill of 1844 by Mr. Jones Loyd (Question 5,204) : " The Bank now has in its bank till an amount of notes equal to the whole amount of b silica in the issue depart ment, plus 14,000,0001., and beyond that amount the notes of the Bank cannot go If any dianinutiou of the bullion in the issue department takes place,. a corresponding diminu tion must take place in the amo rust of notes in the till of the Bank of England. That is the position of things under the present system. Under the former system the state of things was extremely different , ; a great alteration in the amount of bullion might take place without any contrac tion whatever of the power of the Bank of England to issue notes. The Bank of England under the former sys tem might be considered as havi eg an unlimited quantity of notes in the bank till, so long as there was any bullion whatever in its possession. Under that system. so long as the Bank of England had any b cation with which to pay the notes when presented for gold, she had an unlimited power of issuing her notes; now she has uot." Nor was the importance of Cele regulation overlooked by the framers of the measure. The publication of the state of the banking reserve wee; made an essential fea ture of the arrangement, and the public are thus fur nished with accurate ieformatisn, from week to week, not only as to the amount of m ites actually passing from hand to hand ; but also as to the fluctuations in the amount of that banking reserve from which the amount of notes circulating with the p ablic is from day to day to be supplied. The result has been precisely that which was anticipated. The public attention, which was previously directed only to the state of the bul lion, is now fixed upon the banking reserve ; as that diminishes, public anxiety innreases, credit and con fidence are gradually contracted., and speculation, and the state of prices founded on speculation, are subjected to an early and salutary checie. This effect is further promoted by the influence which the bill exercises upon the Bank of England, and upon the country bankers. Previously they acted under a se‘nse of unlimited power in the issue of notes ; now they act under a full con sciousness that that power is enbjected to positive re strictions, and circumscribed within clearly-defined limits. If the notes in the hander of the public are main tained at their full amount during a drain of gold, this can only be effected through an exhaustion of the reserve of notes in the banking till. Of this fact the public be , come fully cognisant through the weekly publication of the accounts, and all the legitimate results of contracted circulation ensue. Indeed a decrease of the banking reserve is more im mediate and powerful in its action upon confidence, upon credit, and speculation than is a decrease of the amount of notes in the hands of the public. Because such de crease of the banking reserve is a fact more unequivocal and more distinctly known to the public ; and at the same time it affects in a more immediate and direct manner the great sources and support .of credit and speculation—the banking establishments. Previously to 1844 the banl:ing reserve was a vague and undefined quantity ; it was the power of issuing any amount of notes until the gold was finally exhausted ; and, as is the case with all undefined power, the extent to which it could be safely and legitimately exercised was greatly over-estimated. The really exhausted state of the banking reserve—the near approach to that amount which was inconsistent with the safety of cash payments—was unfortunately concealed from the public, and therefore the legitimate correctives were kept in abeyance to the last moment. This was the great per vading vice of the then existing state of things ; a cause intimately connected with all the difficulty and ruin of 1825 and 1837. Subsequently to 1844 the state of the banking reserve has become the prominent feature of our monetary sys tem ; the fluctuations in its amount are anxiously watched by the public ; they exercise a powerful and immediate influence upon the state of credit, and are, in fact, more influential in regal ating the exchanges and maintaining the monetary equilibrium between this and other countries than the amount of notes with the public ordinarily termed the circulation, though constituting, in reality, only a part of the circulation. Notes in the till of the banking department are to all intents and purposes part of the circulation, as much so as notes in the till of any private bank. They must have been previously issued by the currency department, between which and the banking department there is not, according to the principle of the act of 1844-, any real connection whatever. Under the pressure of 1847 the provisions of the act were suspended and relief ensued ; although the amount of so-called circulation—that is, of notes in the hands of the public—underwent an increase. What is the ex planation of this The true effect of the suspension of the act was to re store to the banking department the ultimate power of issuing notes (accompanied by the essential safeguard of a rate of interest fixed at a high amount), and all the effects of increased circulation followed ; although no additional notes were issue d to the p ublic. At the present moment an important contraction of credit has taken p l ac e ; a s salutary spirit of mu l ti ( n throughout the trading community has been generated ; a powerful restrictive influence has been exercised over the exchanges ; and many other collective processes have been called into activity. What is the cause of this? The mere decrease in the amount of notes circulating with the public has not been to an extent adequate to account for such extensive and important results. Nor, indeed, is there any ground for believing that such satie- factory results would have been secured if the public had received no other admonition than that which- is conveyed in the slight fluctuations of the amount of notes passing current with them. Such was the case under the former state of the law, and we read•the re sult in the events of 1825 and 183 7. By the act of 1844, however, a new source of useful information and admonition was -opened to tee public ; they were taught to direct their attention to that-pvtion of the circulation which oonsists of notes in fhtaatiking till ; and the means of watching the fluctuistion.ef ibis part of the circulation was provided. We are nqyl reap ing the fruits of this simple but wise preoaution. A continuous decrease of that portion - of our circulation which is to be found in the bank till has occurred,; and this fact, not, as formerly, mystified and obscured by a vicious state of the law, but rendered clear and hotoribas to the whole public, has produced all.the true effects of contracted issues. The purpose of these remarks is to direst attention to the importance of the state of the tanking reserve ; and to show that no discussions on this subject can tend to instruct the public, or lead to a satisfactory or profit able result, which omit this essential consideration. knowndefinedandugeof th e prolonged lim its to the The banking abrseeenecreve of any wasthe pr incipal ea state of excessive credit which terminated in;the convul sion of 1825, and again in the mercantile distress and monetary danger of 1837. • Hence the necessity for the act of 1844,1iy which the unlimited power of issuing notes was checked, and the banking reserve was made subject to pesitiie regulation.

Let this state of things be contrasted with that which has existed at previoue periods of pressure and difficulty ; and a re flecting community will not come to the conclusion that our recent monetary legislation has been uncalled for by any adequate necessity, or that it has failed to produce I the results which it undertook to secure.—Yours, &c., MERCATOR. THE FIRST QUAKER. (From Macaulay's " History of England.") While London was agitated by the news that a plot had been discovered, Georg© Fox, the .founder of the sect of Quakers, died. More than '4O years had elapsed since Fox had begun to see visions and to east out devils. He was then a youth of pure morals and grave deport ment, with a perverse temper, with the education of a labouring man, and with an intellect in the moat un heppy of all states—that is to say, too much disor• ,brad for liberty, and not sufficiently disordered for B.ollaw. The circumstances in which ho was placed wei e such as could scarcely fail to bring out in a strong feral the constitutional disease of his mind. At the time when his faculties were ripening, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Independents, Baptists, were striving for mastery, and were, in every corner of the realm, re futing and reviling each other. He wandered frOm con gregation to congregation. He heard priests harangue against Puritans ; he heard Puritans harangue priests ; and he in vain applied for spiritual direction and conso lation to doctors of both parties. One jolly old clerp - man of the Anglican communion told him to smoke to baeco and sing p.alnis ; another advised him to go and 'oee, some blood. The young inquirer turned in disgust from these advisers to the Dissenters, and found them also blind guides. After some time he came to the con clusion that no human being was competent to instruct him in Divine things, and that the truth had been coin , implicated to him by direct inspiration from Heaven. He argued that, as the division of languages began at Babel, and as the persecutors of Christ put on the cross an inscription in Latin Greek, and Hebrew, the knowledge of languages, and more especially of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, must be useless to a Christian minis ter. Indeed, he was so far from knowing many lan guages that he knew none ; nor can the most corrupt passage in Hebrew be more unintelligible to the un learned than his English often is to the most acute and attentive reader. One of the precious truths which were divinely revealed to this new apostle was, that it was falsehood and adulation to use the second person plural instead of the second person singular. Another was, that to talk of the month of March was to wor ship the bloodthirsty god Mars, and that to talk of Mon day was to pay idolatrous homage to the moon. To any good morning or good evening was highly repre hensible, for these phrases evidently iropprtod that God had made bad days and bad nights. A Christian was bound to face death itself rather than touch his hat to the greatest of mankind. When Fox was challenged to produce any Scriptural authority for his dogma, be cited the passage in which it is written that Shadrach, Meshech, and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace with their hats ou ; and, if his own narrative may be trusted, the Chief Justice of Eng land was altogether unable to answer this argument, except by crying out, " Take him away, gaoler." Fox insisted much on the not less weighty argument that the Turks never show their bare heads to their superiors ; and he asked with great animation, whether those who bore the noble name of Christians ought not to surpass Turks in virtue. Bowing he strictly prohi bited, and, indeed, seemed to consider it as the effect of Satanical influence ; for, as he observed, the woman in the while she had a spirit of infirmity, was bowed to gether, and ceased to bow as soon as Divine Power had liberated her from the tyranny of the Evil One. His ex positions of the sacred writings were of a very peculiar kind. Passages which had been, in the apprehension of all the readers of the Gospels during 16 centuries, figu rative, he construed literally. Passages which no human being before him had ever understood in any other than a literal sense, he construed figuratively, Thus, from those rhetorical expressions in which the duty of pa tience under injuries is enjoined, he deduced the doc trine that self-defence against pirates and assassins is unlawful. On the other hand, the plain commands to baptise with water, and to partake of bread and wine in commemoration of the redemption of mankind, he pronounced to be allegorical. He long wandered from place to place, teaching this strange theology, shaking like au aspen leaf in his paroxysms of fanatical exeiteusen t, forcing his way into churches, which he nick named steeple houses, interrupting prayers and sermons with clamour and scurrility, and pestering rectors and justices with epistles much resembling burlesques of those sublime odes in which the Hebrew prophets foretold the calamities of Babylon and Tyre. He soon acquired great notoriety by these feats. His strange face, his strange chant, his immovable hat and his leather breeches were known all over the country, and he boasts that, as soon as the rumour was heard, "The man in leather breeches is coming," terror seized hypocritical professors, and hireling priests made haste to get out of his way. He was repeatedly imprisoned and set in the stocks, some timeej ustly, for disturbing the public worship of con gregations, and sometimes unjustly, for merely talking nonsense. He soon gathered round him a body of disciples, some of whom went beyond himself in absurdity. He Las told us that one of his friends walked naked through Skipton declaring the truth, and that another was divinely moved to go naked during several years to market places, and to the houses of gentlemen and clergymen. Fox complains bitterly that these pious acts, prompted by the Holy Spirit, were requited by an untoward generation with hooting, pelting, coach whipping, and horsewhipping. But though he applauded the zeal of the sufferers, he did not go quite to their lengths. He sometimes indeed was impelled to strip himself partially. Thus he palled off his shoes and walked barefoot through Lichfield, crying, " Woe to the bloody city." But it does not appear that he ever thought it his duty to appear before the public without that decent garment from which his popular appellation was derived. If we form our judgment of George Fox simply by looking at his own actions and writings, we shall see no reason for placing him, morally and intellectually, above Ludowick Muggleton or Joanna Southcote. But it would be moat unjust to rank the sect which regards him as its founder with the Muggletonians or the Southoo tians. It chanced that, among the thousands whom his enthusiasm infected were a few persons whose abilities were of a very different order from his own. Robert Barclay was a man of considerable parts and learning. William Penn, though inferior to Barclay in both natural and acquired abilities, was a gentleman and a scholar. That such men should have become the followers of George Fax ought not to astonish any person who re members what quick, vigorous, and highly cultivated in tellects were iu our own time duped by the unknown tongues. The truth is that no powers of mind consti tute a security against errors of this description. Touch ing God and His ways with men, the highest human faculties can discover little more than the meanest. In theology the interval is small indeed between Aris totle and a child, between Archimedes and a naked savage . It is not strange, therefore, that wise men, weary of investigation, tormented by uncertainty, longing to believe something, and yet seeing objections to every thing, should submit themselves absolutely to teachers who, with firm and undoubting faith, lay claim to a supernatural commission. Thus, we frequently see in quisitive and restless spirits take refuge from their own scepticism in the bosom of a church which pretends to infallibility, and after questioning the existence of a Deity, bring themselves to worship a wafer. And thus it was that Fox made some converts to whom he was immeasurably inferior in everything except the energy of his convictions. By these converts his rude doctrines were polished into a form somewhat less shocking to good sense and good taste. No proposition which he had laid down was retracted. No indecent or ridiculous act which he had done or approved was condemned ; but what was most grossly absurd in his theories and prac tices was softened down, or at least not obtruded on the public : whatever could be made to appear specious was set in the fairest light : his gibberish was translated into English : meanings which he would have been quite un able to comprehend were put on his phrases ; and his sys tem so much improved, that he would not have known it again, was defended by numerous citations from Pagan philosphers and Christian fathers whose names he bad never heard. Still, however, those who had re modelled his theology continued to profess, and doubt- At the Wingham petty sessions, on Thursday, a youth of the name of Henry Hoile, about 17 years of age, and apparently somewhat deficit in his intellect, was charged with having unlawfully killed a pheasant, the property of Mr. Edward R. Rice, M.P. for Dover, at the parish of Tilmanstone, on the 28th ult. A keeper in the ser vice of Mr. Rica deposed that about a quarter past 2 o'clock on the day in question he was in Mount Pleasant wood, on the Dane Court estate, when he heard a gun fired. He immediately went to the spot, and saw the defendant on a footpath on Mr. Harvey's land, which joined Mr. Rice's. Witness asked him what he had been shooting Defendant replied, " Rooks." The next morning witness went to the cover immediately opposite where he saw the defendant the previous day, an d t h ere , within shot of the footpath, he found a cook phea sant dead, it having been shot. It was lying on the ground, not covered up or hid in any way. _Witness watched the place, and about 11 o'clock the defendaat passed, but did not touch the bird. He also came again at 3 o'clock, but did not interfere with it. Witness then want up to the defendant and charged him with having shot the pheasant. At first he denied it, but subse quently admitted that he did shootat the pheasants, "to scare them away." Defendant was employed as " rook boy ' by Mr. Harvey. Thomas Dawkins, yardsman to Mr. Rice, proved having heard the defendant say, while in custody of the previous witness, that he shot at the pheasant, but did not intend to kill it ;he only wanted to frighten it. He cried very much at the time, and said he was very sorry. Defendant—l was sent there to keep things off my master's wheat, and I shot at the birds, but not to kill I them. I shot at them with a stone. Sir Brook Bridges—Your roaster, no doubt, told yon to shoot the rooks • Defendant —Bet theri is a terrible many of them other birds, and I was told to drive all birds oh the laod. _ _ Dawkins expressed his belief that the pheasant had been killed with shot, and not by a stone. The Bench consulted together, after which the chair man told the defendant that the magistrates considered that the case was clearly proved against him. He was liable to a penalty of 51., but they would °lily order him to pay 11. and 17s. 6d. costs, or one mouth's impri sonment, with hard labour. Defendant —I have no money but what I work for. Sir B. Bridges—lt will be a very good warning to you. Defendant—Will you allow me any time? Chairman—No. Defendant—l have got 103. Chairman—That won't do. Defendant was accordingly taken to prison. Lord Londesborough, having sent 5/. to the prisoner., was favoured with the following letter from one of the bench : • "My Lord,—Being one of the magistrates on the bench at the time that Henry Iloilo was fined 205., and 17s. 6d. costs, for shooting a pheasant, I feel that my decl aim), in cornmen with that of the other magistrates present is ca.led in question, in a manner not the most courteJus, by your extraordinary freak of sending 51. to the 1):)y as a reward for the misconduct, without being yourself at all cognisant of the merits of the case.

CHARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST A MAGISTRATES' CLERK.• EPSOM, Jan. B.—At the petty sessions held here this day, Mr. Henry Goss presiding, Mr. W. Everest, clerk to the justices of the district, appeared to answer a charge of perjury, alleged to have been committed in an affi davit. sworn by him in connection with proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, on the sth November last. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. G. White, solicitor of the Local Board of Health, appeared for the prosecution, and in opening the case described the nature of the infor mation, which alleged that on the day named defendant falsely deposed and swore that it had been proved before the justices and admitted on befall of the said local board that one Benjamin Braithwaite had under taken and promised when one Robert Carter paid a cer tain rate, that it such rate were gnashed the amount se paid should be allowed and deducted from a future rate when made by the said board. Mr. Parry was proceed ing with his comments upon the case he should have to lay before the bench, when The Chairman said the bench had unanimously deter mined to dispense with any preliminary observations by counsel, and proceed at once with the evidence. Several witnesses were then called, whose testimony went to show that the fact alleged in the affidavit rondo by gr. Everest was opposed to what actually took place. They admitted that considerable discussion had occurred in reference to the subject of qsashing ono rate, but they positively denied that any undertaking or promise had been made that if the rate was quashed the amount paid should be allowed and deducted from a fu- ture rate. The examination of the witnesses, which necessarily ran into matters of detail of no public interest, occupied several hours. At the close, The Bench, without calling on Mr. Robinson, who appeared for Mr. Everest, pronounced an unanimous opinion that the charge had not been made out. The summons was therefore dismissed. The ease excited considerable interest, and much sympathy was manifested for Mr. Everest, who has held the office of clerk to the magistrates of this district for 25 years. ~~ IRELAND.

SALE OF LORD lIILTOVfN'S ESTATES. Yesterday the sale of the estates of the Earl of Mil town, situate in the city and county of Dublin, the counties of Wicklow, Kildare, King's, Meath, and Louth, was opened in the Encumbered Estates Court, before Mr. Commissioner Longfield. The noble owner was himself the petitioner. About 80 lots were disposed of, which realised 65,0001. The sale is to be continued this day. The continual march of Russian troops into Beasa rabia excites great attention, as it is considered a proof of the resolution of Russia not to cede that part of her territory which is now demanded from her by the allies. - AN ENGLISHMAN'S E XPERIE NCE or THE REBELLION N C . says -- :--"The Age gentleman rebellion man ill C h s ina writing to a friesid ji l l continues in China,- principally c onfined to the mountainous part*.
