Charles Williams and William Webb wero indicted for feloniously assaulting Henry Hughes, with intent to rob him. The prosecutor was in a cigar shop in Drury-lane, and having made a purchase left the place, when he heard one of the prisoners call out "put it on him," and the next moment he felt the prisoner's (Williams) arm round his neck and with great violence pull him to the ground, while the other prisoner put his hand into his pocket. The pri soners ran off, but they were captured and taken to the station house. The jury found Williams guilty, but acquitted Webb. The learned judge sentenced him to 12 months' impri. sonm ent. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) UTTERING FORGED NOTES. George Cohen, clothier, 40, was indicted for feloniously uttering a forged £5 Bank of England note with intent to defraud. Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the p isoner. Mr. Giffard having stated the case against the prisoner, called the following witnesses : James Warwick—My shop in Rosemary-lane is opposite to prisoner's. I have known him for some time. He deals in old clothes. I recollect in March last, on the 9th, in the evening, he came to my shop to get change for a £5 Bank of England note. I gave him it. The note WAa not marked in any way. I placed it in my private bag, in which there was another £5 note. That was marked in ink, " Marriners, Wells-street." The note produced is that one. I took the money home that evening and locked it up with my other cash. There were two other notes there, but the only note not marked was the one I took from the prisoner. I took the notes to the Bank, and the cashier marked "forged" on the one I got from the prisoner. I went to him and asked him if he recollected changing a five-pound note. He said "Yes." I said, "Do you recollect you did not put your name on it 2 He said " Yes." I told him I had taken it to the London and Westminster Bank, and they said it was a bad one. He said he did not know any thing about the note, but he would give me the money I had given him back again. He said ho had taken it in trade from three Scotch sailors, and they had left London. He said he would give me the money when they came back. I told him I should not wait for that, but that I intended to have my money back. He then said he did not know anything about the note. I then gave it to the officer. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—He took no means to get the money back. I sued him for the amount, I have changed many notes for the prisoner. He keeps a shop frequented by sailors as purchasers. I never had a bad note from him before. I have known him six years. George Chapman—l am barmah at the City of Carlisle. I recollect on the 9th of March the prisoner giving me a £5 note in the afternoon. I gave it the same day to my mistress. Cross-examined I have known him some time, and never got a bad note from him. Martin George said—l am the landlord of the City of Carlisle publichouse. The note taken from the prisoner was sent, about ten days after it was received, to my brewers. They returned it as a forgery. I sent it to the prisoner the same day that I received it back. Cohen shortly after came in and said he had taken the note in the way of business. He acknowledged it was the same note he had changed at my house. He said he took it from some sailors. He said he would give me £2 back, and a per son named Moss would pay the remainder at ten shillings a week. I refused this arrangement, and he then gave me his 1.0. U. for the remaining three pounds, and I returned him the note. Cross-examined—Moss was standing with his back to the bar when the conversation occurred. Moss, in reply to the prisoner, said he would pay a pound or 10s. a week. I have known him ten or twelve years. I always looked upon him as a straightforward man. I have changed a great many notes for him. I should think 200 or 300 during the time I have known him. Many for larger amounts than £5. Mr. Brant, a licensed victualler. Whitechapel—l received a £lO note from the prisoner. It was not marked. I had other £lO notes, but they were all marked. I got the note I received from him returned to me as a forgery. Cross-examined—l have known the prisoner 17 months. I have changed a great many notes for the prisoner—two or three a day. I never got a forged note from him before. Mr. Palmer, collector to Messrs. Tanquray—l received from the last witness some money. Amongst it was a forged £lO Bank of England note. I returned it to Mr. Brant. John Moss.—l am a coffee shop keeper in Back Church lane. I have known the prisoner for seven years. I owed him some money. I met him one day and he said, " Well Moss, are you going to pay me any money." The next time I saw him he said, " I expect to get into trouble about .some notes, and if you can get me out of it I'll never for get you. I want you to say you brought me three Scotch sailors, and that they bought some clothes, and tthat I gave them change for notes," One of them he told me to say got £2, one :305., and the other £2 10s. I said I would do so. He afterwards came to me and told me to mind he said, if I was asked anything about the notes, what ho had told me. I saw him on the following Thursday. I was looking for some clothes for a sailor. He told me I had better go home and bring the sailor man to his shop and he should have all he wanted. He put his arm in mine, and said he was proceeding to a publichouse, and that he was going to say, " This is the man that brought the sailors." He said he did net expect I should be asked anything ; but, if I was, I was not to deny that I brought the sailors. He got a forged note from Mr. George and tore it up. When we got to his door he gave the bits of the note to his boy, and told him to put them in the fire. I went round for the sailor, and he bought clothes to the amount of £6, for which I signed an I 0 U for the £6. Cross-examined—l did not mind telling a few lies for the prisoner. It was not to get off, my debt. I told the lies in order to do the prisoner a good turn. (Laughter.) I did not expect to get anything from him. I began to feel uncomfortable, and I went to the prisoner's solicitors and told them all that had taken place. My wife said I had done wrong and that I should not persist in the statement. I then told Cohen I did not mind telling a few lies for him if it was wanted, but I would not swear about the Scotch men. I first met Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor for the prosecution, near Arbour-square, by accident. He told me to be at the police office at half. past ten. I first went to Mr. Freshfield's. It was up Leman-street. I am con founding Mr. Freshfield with Mr. Turner, the solicitor for the prisoner. Mrs. Cohen took me to Mr. Turner. I've come to this court to say what I can for :the prisoner. (Laughter.) He wanted me to tell a lot of lies, but my wife told me I was not to swear to anything untrue. I was compelled to come here by subphcena. I can't be sure the exact day I was examined at the police court. Sergeant Ballantine—When did you tell the attorney for the prosecution that Cohen wanted you to commit perjury. Witness—When the officer told me to go to Mr. Fresh field's. Sergeant Ballantine—How did the officer know what you had to say ? Witness—l don't know. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you consult your wife about your evidence to-day ? Witness—No. My wife told me on the night before I went to Mr. Freshfield s that I had to go. I will swear I made no statement to the officer. 'lever had a conver sation with the officer about my evidence. I keep a lodging house for sailors. I might have taken three or four sailors to the prisoner's house. I have never taken as many as 30. I take them to Mr. Harris. I became indebted to tho prisoner for paying out the broker when he was in my house. I've not seen the boy here that the prisoner told to chuck the notes into the fire. I have never been in any difficulty in my life. Re-examined—l first received notice to attend the police court to-day, and give my evidence. The solicito r f or th e prisoner,l Mr. Turner, told me to be here at half-past 10. I had told Mr. Turner what was untrue. I then had a conversation with my wife. When 1 got to the police-office I told Turner I was not going to swear to what I had told him. Turner said, "What i are they all lies ?" I said, "Yes, and I'm not going to swear to them as the prisoner had told me. I was put into the witness-box at the police court by the officer. I had told nobody but Mr. Turner what I in tended to say. The magistrate asked me what I had got to say, and I told him all about it. I saw Mr. Freshfield the second time I was examined. I was bound over to give evidence before I went to Mr. Freshfield's house. • Mrs. Moss, wife of the last witness, corroborated his evidence. Constable Donnoway said he took the prisoner into cus tody. He said he was innocent of the charge of uttering forged notes, and that he had been drawn into it. He afterwards gave me two or three other bad notes, and said some men had attempted to pass them at his shop, but on being discovered they ran away. The inspectors of notes at the Bank of England said the notes were bad in every respect. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then addressed the jury for the prisoner, commenting strongly on the evidence given by Moss. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, and he was sen tenced to ton year' penal servitude. THE LAW COURTS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that on Thursday, the 18th inst., he would move for leave to bring in a bill for the concentration of all the law courts, includ ing the Probate and Divorce Court, the Admiralty Court, and the Equity Conrts, and for the application of funds in Chancery for the purpose of the purchase of a site for that purpose. CENSUS PAPERS. On the motion of Mr. SCULL!, copies of the printed forms of the Census papers for England, Ireland, and Scot land, respectively, were ordered. BOROUGH FRANCHISE BILL. Mr. BAINES in moving the second reading of this bill, appealed to the house for the indulgence that was conceded to a member who was anxious to discharge his duty con scientiously, and said he was there to advocate the interests of a large body of his countrymen, who, he believed, de- sired and deserved to be admitted to the political privilege from which they wee at present excluded. When the Government introduced their measure of Reform he supported it in this house and elsewhere. That bill same recommended to them by the Sovereign, and its principle received the assent of both sides of the house, and when an appeal was made to the country at the last general election, it received also the assent of the country. In introducing this bill he was, therefore, not bringing forward any new principle, but one that had already been . • , sanctioned by the Sovereign and the house. He was met with two preliminary objections, namely, that a measure of this description should be intrluced by her Majesty's Go vernment, and not by a private member, and that Reform should be dealt with by a comprehenhive measure and not in detail. His answer to the first was that this measure had really been introduced by Government 011 a previous occasion, and with regard to the next objection, he would draw atten tion to the fact that Parliament had legislated on the ques tion of Reform in separate and detached parts, and with great success. The experience of the last nine years showed how difficult it was to carry out any general measure of Re form through that house ; and he referred to the progress of legislation in regard to criminal law and bankruptcy in support of his position. It had also been objected that the people did not make any demand for reform, but that was more correct when it was at first asserted than it was at present, as was apparent from the petitions which had been presented to the House, and the meetings that had been held throughout the country in favour of reform. He was ready to admit, that in conse quence of the general prosperity, there had been an apathy with 'regard to this subject, as well as to other popular questions. But they had no security that the present calm would not be converted into a storm, and he cited the authority of Lord John Russell, to show how much more advisable it was to legislate on the subject of reform in a period when the people were quiet instead of when they were agitated. (Hear, hear.) He would be able shortly to show that during the last 30 years there had been an increase in the intelligenee of the people not only in proportion to their population, as had been stated on a previous occasion by the ho nourable member for Buckingham, but in consider able excess of population. During the period to which he alluded the population in England and Wales had risen from 14,000,000 to 20,000,000, which was at the rate of about 43 per cent., and he contended that the £6 occu • pier of 1861 was better qualified to exercise the fran chise than the £lO householder of 1825. His bill simply proposed to meet this state, by extending the fran chise to £6 occupiers, which was what the Government had endeavoured to effect. He had, however, an advantage which Government did not then possess, being; in posses. sion of returns relative to male occupiers in parliamentary, boroughs, which had been returned to the parochial autho rities, by whom they were amended and re-presented to the House. It appeared that the whole number of voters in boroughs in England and Wales was 442,210, and his bill proposed to add about 211,269 to that, which would make a total of over 653,400. But there would be deductions from these in consequence of persons omitting to register or from other disqualifica • tions. He founded this upon what was shown to have taken place with reference to the £lO voters, which amounted to 27 per cent. deduction, and he contended that in the case of the poorer voters the deduction would belarger, from their more frequent removals and other causes. The conse quence of this deduction would be to reduce the 211,300 ad ditional voters, which would reduce the amount to 200,000. There were deductions to be made with respect to scot and lot voters, and the amount would be further reduced to 180,000 additional voters. The great bugbear relative to the reduc tion of the franchise, was, that it would admit a majority of the working-classes to the electoral body; but the fact was that only about three-fourths of these classes would obtain the franchise, which would reduce the amount of voters from that body to 135,000. The hon. member then went into additional statistics to show that the number of electors of the working classes would, in reality, not exceed 20 per cent. of the whole electoral body He then alluded to the improvements that had taken place in the c , ndition of the working classes during the last 30 years in foreign trade, commerce, nevi. gation; and manufactures, which had increased to an extent unprecedented in the annals of a civilised country. He also adverted to the extraordinary development of the railway system, and to the rapid increase of news papers, periodicals, and educational works, to show the great extension of the intelligence of the community; and he contended that this improvement must be taken to the account of the working clauses as the education of the upper and middle classes had been previously provided for. The honourable member then went in detail through the various social, moral, and intellectual developments of the community during the period to which his observations alluded, and argued that this fully de monstrated that the working classes were entitled to the possession of the franchise. He recapitulated the different points to which he had already adverted, and dwelt strongly on the growth of temperance and mechanics institutes, and the diminution of crime, and the cost of pauperism, in support of his assertion, that the improvements which he had described, showed the progress and elevation of the working-classes. [LEFT SPEAKING.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A REFRESHMENT HOUSEKEEPER SUMMONED FOR SELLING BUNS ON GOOD FRIDAY.—Mr. Isaac Augustus Cooper, refreshment housekeeper and confectioner, of 70, Oxford-street, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer a summons for unlawfully opening his house before the hour of one in the afternoon of Good Friday last. Frederick Walls, 27 G, proved that at 20 minutes past 11 on the morning of Good Friday, seeing two women purchase hot cross-buns at the defendant's. Defendant—l had my house open for the sale of buns, as I have done for many years. Mr. Tyrwhitt—But the Refreshment Act has only been passed a short time. Defendant to the constable—Did you see me serve any wines, or do I open of a Sunday. Officer—No. Defendant—l was not aware I was doing any wrong. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is against the law. The Refreshment Act says, "Nor shall any such house be open for the sale or consumption in it of any article whatever at any time during which the houses of licensed victuallers eiall be closed, on any Sunday, Good Friday, or Christmas Day." It is the first year the act has been in force, sn a nominal fine, as you now understand you have not obeyed the law, will suffice. Fined ls. and costs. ROBBING BROTHER JONATHAN.—Sarah Kelly, a well dressed young female, was charged with robbing Mr. Edward Herbert, an American gentleman, residing at 13 Craven-street, Strand. The prosecutor said that he was a stranger in London, and while on his way to the Haymarket Theatre the previous evening he asked the prisoner the way to the theatre, and while doing so felt her hand in his pocket, and missed his purse containing a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and two American gold dollars, and other American money. The French coin produced, and which was loose in his pocket, he could identify. He told the prisoner she had robbed him, but she denied it, and he then gave her into custody. A female, named Elisabeth Palmer, here stepped for ward and said she resided at Shoreditch, and the prisoner resided with her, and she always believed her a respectable young woman. Mr. Tyrwhitt—But we don't know who you are. Mrs. Palmer (whoseappearance certainly did not bear out her statement), said her husband was a surgeon's assistant, at West Ham. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Well, we will remand her for a few days for inquiry. 211 IS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, April 10.—Wind this day at noon, E. ; fresh breeze, and fine clear weather.

A despatch, of which the following is a Copy, has been received from Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels on the East India and China Station. CENTAUR, SHANGHAE, JAN. 22. My Lord,—You will be pleased to draw the attention of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to the following clerical error in the marginal note annexed to the sixth paragraph of my letter of the 27th of August last, No. 287,* detailing the capture of the Peiho Forts : For Commander Aplin, 3d Squadron of Rocket Boats. Commander Hire, 4th Squadron of Rocket Boats. Read Captain Willes, in charge of Rocket Boats. Commander Hire, 3d Squadron. Commander Day, 4th Squadron. From which they will observe that Captain Willes and Commander Day were employed in the attack of the enemy's forts, and Commander Aplin was not. (Signed) J. HOPE, Vice-Admiral and Commander in-Chief. The Right Honourable Lord Clarence Paget, C.B. M.P. * Gazetted on the 6th November, 1860. THE PENNY TAXES. The following memorial to the Chancellor of the Exchequer suggesting the abolition of the new taxes "in aid of charges for collection of revenue," was presented yesterday : To THE RIGHT HON. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. " London, March, 1861. " Sir, 7 -We the undersigned merchants, brokers, and traders of the port of London, beg leave to claim your atten tion to the results of certain new taxes imposed on the trade and commerce of the country in the last session of Parlia ment ' in aid of the charges for collection of revenue.' " Many of your memorialists were opposed to these new taxes at the time of their creation, upon the generally re cognised principle that the main object of taxation is to pro duce the largest amount of revenue with the least possible inconvenience to its payers, neither of which conditions are fulfilled by these new imposts, while they cause great trouble, obstruction, and delay, both to merchants, traders, and revenue collectors, for which the extremely slender financial results offer no adequate bompensation. " These new taxes have now been in operation for a period sufficient fairly to test their pecuniary value, as well as the consumption of time, clerical labour, constant delays arising from error in calculations, unavoidable in the in. tricacy of many of the items, and the immense multiplica tion of figures which have thus been created. " Thus the tax of per cent. on the Customs revenue is equivalent to little more than a fee of Is. upon every entry for payment of duty in the United Kingdom. Payment of all such fees was abolished about 25 years since, as being alike unwise and impolitic ; but the tax as now levied re quires special calculation for every entry, and the employ ment of a series of figures which, under the existing form of business, have in each case to be repeated several times. thus causing an immense number of varying calculations for an income of little more than £50,000, " The one penny stamp on units of entry is yet more in tricate, vexatious, and obstructive, owing to their varying and complex application—in some cases including many packages in one unit, in others, dividing one package into several units ; so that it has been found necessary to esta blish a tariff of units' Thus, while large sacrifices of revenue have been made to establish simplicity and freedom in the national tariff, the tax has engendered the necessity of establishing a small tariff, which brings its irritating and hindering powers into action upon every article, however unimportant or insignificant, of the imports or exports of the United Kingdom, frequently stopping the delivery and. clearance of cargoes, involving delays, consumption of time, and obstructions to commerce, for whieh:the revenue of £130,000, raised upon the entire commerce of the coun-. try, is an utterly inadequate compensation. "Again, the' penny stamp on delivery orders has 'amen prolific in delays, contention, and difficulty of collection, raising nice points of law as to ownership, and from its nature constantly open to variation in its application ; it is believed that this tax yields little more than £5,000 per annum, while its application has given rise to more annoy ance and discontent than any other source of Customs revenue. " The threepenny tax on warrants (which appears to yield the small sum of £9,000), although not liable to many of the objections which exist in regard to these other taxes, yet is found to be extremely pal tial in its application, being mainly paid in the port of London, in consequence of such docu ments being little used at the other ports ; tending also to the gradual disuse of a most valuable commercial document. So also the tax on bills of lading proves in practice unequal, troublesome, and inquisitorial. "Your memorialists respectfully suggest that whatever taxation the State may require should be raised in the mode least onerous and annoying to the class from which it is to be obtained, and they earnestly hope that provision may be made for the abolition of these small vexations duties he the forthcoming financial statement, as being alike annoy ing and obstructive to trade and commerce, without equiva lent advantage to the revenue." THIS DAY'S iIAit.KETS. _--- , --.tom --~• CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat to this morning's market were somewhat on the increase, for the most part in fair condition. For all kinds the demand was in a very inac tive state, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations of ls. to 2s. per quarter. Sales progressed heavily in all descriptions of foreign wheat, ani previous rates were with difficulty maintain e d. The imports are rather large, viz., 14,680 quarters. Floating cargoes of grain were much neglected, and prices had a erooping tendency. - The demand for barley ruled heavy, at Monday's reduc tion in value. Malt attracted very little attention, for the quotations were unaltered. The oat trade was in a very sluggish state, at fair the late decline in prices.
