The parish officers of Clerkenwell attended in support of the prosecution. The prosecutrix, who was in so feeble a state that she could scarce give her evidence, being sworn, stated that she was married to the prisoner at Birmingham, and she eventually came w i t h hi m to L on d on, where he com menced business, but he represented that he was about to proceed to South Australia, and requested her to go with her infant back to Birmingham, and hewould send her down the means to maintain her and her child, She remained there for a considerable time, but never heard from the prisoner, and she was reduced to the greatest necessity, and her child died. She came to London in search of the prisoner, and found him cohabiting with another woman, when he refused to grant her the least assistance. She was seized with typhus fever, and was admitted into Greville-street Hospital, from which she was discharged on Wednesday last, and having no place to go to, she was wandering thruugh the streets, perishing with cold and hunger, when she was advised to apply to the over seers of Clerkenwell parish, who gave her some tempo rary relief, and took the prisoner into custody. consent a d ll ' r, t o GREENWO OD insoaafyror?ui marriage gfe I.i;e Prisoner—She nwd we inquired.married struggled ol left t y oung, the e neg. pr, hard i al s tn o t d n : as r , us, ipatpsupport what ort t her, t unfor tunatee e h hre and she left me for six months.

NOTICE. —You will frequently see published, accounts of the extraordinary curative powers of PARR'S LIFE PILLS. The names of most of the parties there mentioned are well known to the public as gentlemen whose characters stand high in society, and whose unsolicited testimony must place these facts beyond possibility of contra diction. They have also kindly promised to answer the inqui ries of any parties, who desire further particulars. These facts have had the effect of creating an immense demand for the medicine, and, as is always the case, when this large sale be came known, certain unprincipled adventurers immediately set about preparing and offering to the public various counterfeits. Their statements exhibit the most unblushing effrontery, which is concealed under plausible pretexts, calculated to deceive the unwary. There is fortunately, however, a protection for the Public in the Government Stamp ; and although needy shop keepers may attempt, for the sake of larger gain, to force the spurious sort upon you, be sure you purchase none without the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS are engraved on the Govern ment Stamp in white letters on a red ground. _ _ Sold wholesale, by appointment, by E.

" Gentlemen—We shall feel obliged by your repeating the last order for Parr's Life Pills, and forwarding immediately by Pickford's Rails. Instances of extraordinary cures are con tinually occurring to us by their agency. One woman who had been reduced almost to the last stage of existence by extreme asthma, was, by taking two or three boxes, restored to health. Another instance is a man who had been confined to his bed by rheumatism for sixteen weeks, quite incapacitated for walking; but by simply taking two or three boxes of Parr's Life Pills, can walk with all the activity and freedom of perfect health. I could enumerate many other instances, but these will suffice to prove the value of the medicine in ameliorating disease and confirming health. I remain, your obedient servant, " For M. Moxon, " JAMES BAYNE." ALA W INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COUR7', Jan. 21. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) COCKBURN V. RAPHAEL. This case came before the Court on a petition put in by the defendant, Mr. Alexander Raphael, praying that it might be referred to the Master to take an account of the funds of a certain charity, and that the funds of the charity might be administered in this country, and placed under the jurisdiction of this Court. It appeared that Mr. John Raphael, the father of the petitioner, a Roman Catholic, but of Jewish origin, had died in India, and left by his will a certain fund, which was to be devoted to the establishment of a school, or schools for educating Armenian youths in the Roman Catholic religion. By a former decree of the Court of Chancery, it was or dered, in conformity with a report of the Master, that the principal school should be established at Venice, as being the place best suited for carrying into effect the objects of the charity. A school was consequently es tablished in that city of the description con templated •by the testator ; and it was conducted by the abbot and monks of St. Lazarus. The present petitioner had got a power of attorney to receive the funds from the Accountant-General, which he after wards transmitted to the monks, for whom he acted as agent in this country. The petitioner after some time thought he had reason to suspect that these funds had been improperly administered ; and he complained in particular that the monks had given no account of certain sums transmitted by them to Constantinople. It was on these accounts that he had come to the Court with the present application. It was stated on the other hand for the defence that the sums transmitted to Constanti nople were devoted to the maintenance of a branch-school established in that city. Accounts were also put in for •the purpose of showing that the funds had been admi nistered with the greatest possible economy. A further objection was taken to the application of,the petitioner, on the ground that the Court could itot interfere with the administrator of a charity established by a former order of the Court of Chancery in a foreign country. The case had not been brought to a conclusion at the rising of the Court, and the further arguments were post poned till to-morrow. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. '2l. LIABILITY OF CARRIERS.-HINTON V. DIBBIN AND OTHERS. The COURT also gave judgment in this case. It was an action brought to recover the value of a quantity of silk which had been entrusted to the defendants, as common carriers for hire, and which had been lost by their negligence. The plea was that the defendants were carriers after the passing of the Act Ist Wil. IV. c. 68, and that, in pursuance of the provisions of that Act, they had caused a public notice to be affixed in their office, that certain excepted goods therein enume rated, being above the value of 10/., should pay an in creased rate of carriage—that the silk in question was one of these excepted articles, was above the value of 0/., and that there was no engagement to pay the in creased charge. In the replication it was stated that the defendants, as common carriers, had been guilty of gross negligence. To that there was a rejoinder that the goods had been delivered by the defendants to their ser vants in the ordinary course of business, and that they had been lost by their servants while under their care, and negativing any want of care on the part of the de fendants. To that the plaintiff had demurred. The question in the case was, whether, since the passing of the Act Will. IV., carriers were liable for goods lost from gross negligence on their part without notice and without payment of the increased rate having been made. In the declaration the expression was misfea sance, bat that was dropped in the replication, and negli gence substituted. In deciding upon the present case, which was the first that bad occurred since the Act came into operation, the Court must be guided by its language and by the state of the law at the time it was passed. In all the cases that had been decided in the Courts previously carriers were held liable for the loss of goods beyond the value of 10/., where they had been guilty of gross negligence. In the case of Wilde v. Pickford, reported in the third volume of "Law Jour nal," 392, it was said that some uncertainty existed as to the cases that were taken out of the notice required to be given, and it was concluded in the case of Bodmin v. Bennett, that the notice was intended to protect the carrier from extraordinary events, and not from the effect of the want of due and ordinary care ; . while in other cases it was urged that the carriers were not by the notice protected from the consequences of misfea sance. In a case before Lord Ellenborough it had been held that the notice exempted the carrier from the conse quence of his negligence, but not where there had been a want of ordinary care, the want of such care being described to be such care as a prudent man would take of his own property. The weight of authorities, then, was in favour of the doctrine that in order to render the carrier liable, it was not necessary to prove a total aban donment of the goods, but enough to prove ordinary neg ligence. The result of the decisions in all these cases appeared to be that, supposing the protection of the car rier to have been the object of the Legislature, there was axreat deal of doubt and uncertainty to be removed, and the Court saw no reason why a more limited con struction should be put upon the Act than its title im plied. The Act, which was for the removal of doubts and the better protection of carriers, was absolute in its protection, and without reservation of those cases where there was an intimation of the contents of the packages and of the value of the goods contained therein. It was further contended that no carrier was liable for the loss of any property beyond the value of 10/., unless, at th e t i m e of its being de livered at his warehouse, the value and nature of such property was declared, and such increased rate of pay ment made and accepted by the party receiving such property. The .Learned Judge then referred to the various sections of the Act which bore upon the question before the Court. On the whole, the Court was . of opinion that the lan guage of the first section was clear and unam biguous, and without any exception, and none could fairly be implied from any of the other provisions it con tained ; and it held that the carrier was free from liability as to all the articles enumerated, unless notice was given, and the increased payment made and accepted. The Act, then, had the effect of removing great doubt and difficulty, which had previously existed as to the liability of the carrier. In the present case the Court was unfettered by any authority in putting their construction upon the Act, and they were of opinion that in this ease the defendants were not liable for the loss that had occurred, and their judgment must therefore be for the defendants. bankrupt to furnish the official assignee with all the in formation he required, or adjourn the examination until it was done. The COMMISSIONER said as some of the requisitions of the official assignee had been complied with, and others not, let the official assignee give another requisition in writing, and it must be complied with. He was com pelled to give proper information to all his assignees by the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The Bankrupt said, after his examination on Monday, he called several times on Mr. Groom for any fresh re quisition, but 'none was given, except one from Mr. Cook. He declined to give any information to Mr. Cook singly. He had not gone to Mr. Groom's to sort his books and papers, because the whole of his books and papers were seized. He found some were missing, and therefore he would rather not meddle with them, unless he was compelled, so that it would not be possible for any one to say that he had taken away any of the letters or papers. The examination was then resumed. By Mr. HUMFREY—Where are you residing now ?-- No. 7, Cumberland-place, New-road. What servants have you ?—A maid of all-work and a boy. What do you pay a-week for those lodgings ?-2/. 10s., being furnished. You spoke of having given Cook and Gladstone 61. per cent. interest, and 1 per cent. commission. Were you not paying to Mr. Glaister a larger commission and the same interest ?—Yes ; and here I wish to explain. In March, 1839, I was discounting bills with Cook and Gladstone. When Mr. Cook, on one occasion, declined to discount the bills which I then tendered, and sug gested that I should discount them somewhere else in the market ; and in the conversation which took place then, Mr. Cook asked me if I discounted with Mr. Glaister. This conversation also occurred prior to that time, I believe. Now, finding I could not get the bills dis counted with Messrs. Cook and Gladstone, to the extent that I required, I colied upon Mr. Glaister, and he of-. fered to discount my bills for the next year at a fixed price, viz., per cent. commission, and 5 per cent. in terest. He would do this if I got my brother's security for 1,0001. as against loss. I obtained and gave him that security. He commenced discounting, and continued to do so for several months, at the rate agreed upon. He, however, subsequently increased that commission to 2 per cent., then to 21 afterwards 2i, and then 3. When I paid the 3 per cent. Mr. Glaister told me he would not charge beyond the bargained price again. On the 27th November, 1839, I went again to Mr. Glaister with about 7501. worth of bills. After trying me to see if I needed the money at that moment, and in reply to which I said I must have the money or stop, he took ad vantage of my necessity and charged me 5 per cent. commission, although he admitted at the same time that the bargain was for 4, and he then held security. I was obliged on that day to get the money, and, therefore, I consented to pay his demand. I, however, told him then that in consequence of his Jewish conduct I would never enter his place again, and never did for that pur pose. I believe I shall be able to show on the cross-exa tion of Cook and Gladstone's— Mr. HUMFREY objected to such language from a bank rupt. He had better take care what he said. Witness —I have good reason to believe, indeed Mr. Cook has twice told me so, that Mr. Glaister was con sulting with him during that period, and I believe that Cook and Gladstone assisted him in discounting my bills, and derived part of the profit from them. I never paid Mr. Glaister or any other person such exorbitant interest as I was then drawn into pay—viz., 5 per cent. commission and 6 per cent. interest. Did you discount bills with any other person than Mr. Cook and Mr. Glaister ? —Yes. With whom since 1839 ?—Messrs. Coster and Co.; Messrs. Eales and Co, Messrs. Llewellyn and Co., I think, and Mr. Stephens, bill-broker. Any one else ?—Those are all I recollect. What did you pay to Messrs. Eales and Co., interest and commission—the highest ?—I cannot tell without reference to my discount papers. (They were handed to him.) On June 3d, 1840, the interest, 5 per cent ; commission, 11 per cent.; the bill nearly four months. That will, upon the whole, be as nearly as possible 10 per cent.?—Yes ; it is 10i per -cent. nearly. Now, turn to another of Messrs. Eales'?—l do not find any more of Eales' here. Now, then, turn to Llewellyn ?—I paid no commission to them at any time. What was the interest ?—Five per cent. per annum. Now, turn to Stephens ; what did you pay him ? There are none of Stephens's here. What was the highest you paid Stephens at any time? —Here is one of Stephens's of March 7th ; the interest is 3 per cent, commission 1 per cent. Have you ever paid as high as 4 per cent. commission and 6 per cent. interest ?—No. What was the average ?—About I per cent., and 5 per ceht. interest. That was about the average I paid Ste pheie;. I discounted with Bradbury and Castles, and they never charged me one farthinc , commission for the same class of paper a I discounted with Messrs. Cook. Now, will you swear that you have never paid Ste phens more than 5 per cent. interest ?—Certainly not ; although I believe such to be the fact. Will you swear you never paid him more than one per cent. commission ?—Certainly not, although I be lieve that to be the average which I paid to him. I was discounting with Castle and Co. at the same time as I was with Messrs. Cook, and to the former I paid no commission. Have you not discounted with Messrs. Cook at as low a rate as five per cent. and three-eighths commission ? —I believe I have, but only to a small amount. Have you not also paid them one-half per cent. com mission ?—I do not recollect, but I have no doubt I may have done so to a small amount. Have you not the amount of 7001. ?—I cannot answer that question without seeing my ledger. Did you not discount with Cook and Co., in June, 1840, SOOL atlfive per cent. and three-eighths commission? —I do not recollect, nor can a reference to this book assist me. _ _ _ Turn to the tickets. Look for amounts 4131. 16s. 2d. and 4851.—1 do not believe I ever discounted any such bills with any person in London. From June, 1840, to June, 1841, will you swear that you ever paid Cook and Co. more than one per cent. com mission. I advise you to be careful : that is the year before you failed ?—I believe I discounted very little with them in that period. I will not swear that I ever paid them more during that time. Will you swear that you paid so much as one per cent. during that period, with only one exception ?—On the 29th May I discounted four bills ; 55/. 65., 36 days to run ; 27/. 65., 91 days ; upon them the commission was one per cent. Now, with that one exception, is there any other occasion during those periods on which so much as 1 per cent. was charged ?—The papers are all dated, therefore I cannot say. You say you did not discount much with them during that period. Now did you not discount upwards of 3,700/. between June 1840 and the same period in 1841? —I hiive no doubt I did, but that was small in pro portion to former dealings. • A long examination was gone into with respect to discount transactions, in order to show that during the period above named, Cook and Co. had not charged more than 3/. Bs. at times, and never more than 1 per cent. as commission, but it turned out that half per cent. commission had been paid upon bills having 24 days and 28 days to run. Re-examined by Mr. MAnnort—What security did Messrs. Eales and Co. hold at the time they discounted for you ?—No security whatever. Did Messrs. Cook and Co. hold any, and what security at the time they were discounting for you ? Between June 40, and June 41, they did hold security ; they held the lease of 114, Regent-street, my brothers security for 7,000/., the lease of 118, Regent-street. Rates' bill for 8631., making together 14,500/. What amount of Cook's debt was unsecured in Jan. 1841 ?—I owed them then 18,022/. 17s. Bd. I had securi ties in their hands to the amount of 10,7001., leaving balance unsecured of 7,382/. 17s. Bd. You have stated that at the time of the fiat you owed them 19,8291. 108. What amount of securities did they then hold ?—Securities to the amount of 15,8321. 9s. 9d., leaving a balance then unsecured of 3,9971. ls. 3d. By this you will observe that the securities had increased upwards of 3,4661. 16s. 5d., although the account was a little larger. Can you state what you owed themin May ?-21,7401. That is without interest due on the 7,0001. Can you state the average rate of interest and com mission paid by you upon the bills discounted by Cook and Co., between June 1840 and 1841 ?—I cannot, but I believe the interest per annum to be about 10 to 12 per cent. This, however, I can explain more fully by having time and referring to the discount papers. You have stated that Mr. Cook knew you were dis counting bills with Mr. Glaister. Was Mr. Glaister a clerk in their employ before that period ?—He was six or seven years ago. This finished the examination of the bankrupt. Mr. MARDON then called Mr. Warwick, in order to corroborate the bankrupt in respect of the references given by him to Cook and Co. Mr. HumFaEic objected. Such an inquiry was wholly irrelevant to the question before the Court, which was the balance-sheet of the bankrupt. He admitted that Messrs. Cook and Co. had undoubted faith in the bank rupt until a certain ioeriod, and they had spoken highly of him down to July, 1841, most conscientiously ; but whether they had done so or not was a matter that was wholly beside the:question which was before the Court for adjudication. He was merely anxious to save time. He would call Messrs. Cook and Gladstone, but it would be to the balance-sheet. Mr. Burr said he appeared for the assignees, Messrs. Brown and Llewellyn, and he must object to the course his Learned Friend was pursuing. Let the witnesses be called, and then the objection would be in time. Mr. HUMFREY said his Learned Friend appeared nominally for the assignees,but in reality for the bankrupt. Mr. BUTT' denied the statement. His Learned Friend had no right to say anything of the kind. Mr. HUMFREY charged those for whom his Learned Friend appeared, to be the friends of the bankrupt, and they were doing all in their power in his favour. He would oppose, generally, the calling of any witnesses for the purpose of proving that which he admitted, that his clients had spoken well of the bankrupt down to July, 1841. He would, however, strongly oppose the admis sion of the letter from Mr. Wheeler, which it was pro posed to offer in evidence. He would much like to see that person in the box, for since that inquiry had com menced he had been to Cook and Co., and said, " I don't want to say anything against you—hare you anything to offer me." Such a man must be produced, or his letter altogether excluded. But he submitted that the proposed inquiry was wholly irrelevant to the proceed ings before the Court. Mr. MAnnoN said a very onerous duty had been cast upon him by the manner in which Mr. Ashurst had con ducted the examination. The whole question now re solved into one of the credit to be given to the bankrupt —therefore he wanted to produce evidence in corrobora tion of his statement. Unless he was allowed to do that he would not be able to do justice to his client. The COMMISSIONER did not think it irrelevant, but he would not shut out the evidence. Mr. Warwick, of the firm of Ovington and Warwick, examined by Mr. MARDON.—He was referred twice to Mr. Cook by the bankrupt. He went on the 16th March, and then he saw Mr. Cook, senior. He said he had been referred to him, and he presumed upon their old friend ship, that he should give such a reference as would en able him either to go on or close the account. Mr. Cook spoke in the most flattering manner of • the bankrupt— that he did business with him to a very large amount, and had the most perfect confidence in him, and that in, all his dealings he had never detected him in a false hood—that his account was many thousands. He asked Mr. Cook as to his property. Mr. Cook said the last time the balance-sheet was shown him, he showed a ba lance of between 3,0001. and 4,000/. Witness told him that he had no confidence in him. He had lent him 1,0001., and as his buyer was repeatedly in their house, his account might become too large'. He said " I hear you hold the lease as security ; do you hold any other security ?".:He answered, " The securities we hold would not cover one-third of our liabilities." He then asked him had he inquired into Hitchcock's affairs, in respect of Eales, and whether there was any accommodation be tween them. Mr. Cook said lie had investigated into the matter, and there was no foundation for the report. He asked as to the amount of their own account, and very particularly as to the fact of whether they, Cook and Co., held any other security besides the lease, that being the question that he went to get answered. He made a memorandum of the matter at the time, which was as follows :—" Mr. Cook has closely in vestigated the affairs of Wm. Hitchcock, and there was no bill between him and Eales that value was not given for. Mr. Cook's account is very large ; he holds the lease, and that is the only security. Their account is some thousands." And they, upon this, sold him goods to the amount of 1,4001. to open his new shop with. In consequence of the reference they sold the bankrupt goods, and they were now creditors to the amount of 560/. He was again referred to Mr. Cook in August last, but did not go. Mr. Cook called upon him on the Ist of January last, and stated that he understood wit ness was to be subpoenaed to give evidence in the matter of William Hitchcock, and he wished to see his (wit ness's) reference-book ; but it was refused. On being told what would be the nature of his evidence if he was called, and that if he had informed witness of the fact that he held so many securities, they would not have been a creditor for a single shilling, he said both Mr. Gladstone and himself had always answered the question as to securities, that it would not cover above one-third of their debt. He said he never intended to deceive witness, and would rather have had his right hand cut off than have deceived any one. Witness asked why he did not inform him of the joint note he held. He said, had he done so, he (witness) would not have trusted him. Mr. Wheeler had not been subpoenaed, because he was now at the Isle of Wight. Mr. Smith was called, but his solicitor objected to his being examined, because he was going to take proceedings against Nlessrs. Cook and Gladstone, and his being ex amined now might prejudice him in another Court. Mr. HUMFREY again admitted that his clients had spoken well of the bankrupt up to July, 1841. Where was the use of calling witnesses to prove an admitted fact? Mr. MARDON submitted that he was entitled to exa mine the witness, in order to show that Cook and Co. gave references long after they knew the bankrupt was insolvent. The COMMISSIONER thought they were only wasting time. What had the question of Cook and Co. giving references to other parties to do with the question, if the bankrupt had given true answers in reference to his balance-sheet He would not examine Mr. Smith. _ Mr. BUTT said those parties for whom he appeared were only anxious that the Commissioner should elicit the truth of a case which did no credit to any of the par ties concerned in it. Mr. MARDON said his case was closed. Mr. HU)IFREY desired it to be clearly understood that after he had commenced his case he would object to Mr. Mardon calling any more witnesses, and the bankrupt's statements might be confirmed by his brother and his shopmen. Mr. MARDON declined to call them, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned till Wednesday next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A well-dressed man, named John _Harvey, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed Mr. Brown, of Aldermanbury, of a diamond On, worth about 71., on the day Prince Albert laid the first stone of the Royal Exchange. The prisoner had been remanded from Tuesday, in the hope that sufficient evi dence might be produced against the thief, who was de scribed as a desperate character. Mr. Brown stated, that, as his wife and he were in Cornhill, near the Sun Fire-office, a mob got about them. He endeavoured to pass, and the prisoner, raising his arm against witness's face, said that he also wanted to get forward, pulled the pin out of witness's shirt, and rushed across the street. There were two persons with the prisoner, evidently belonging to the gang. A gentle man, who saw what occurred, immediately told witness that he had lost his pin, and pointed at the prisoner as the person who had stolen it. Witness then ran after and seized the prisoner, who struck and kicked, and made a most desperate resistance, but was unable to get away. The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had been at the bar before. The prisoner—Never my Lord, I was never appre hended before in my life. My solicitor can tell you that —(A laugh.) The prisoner's Solicitor—l believe him to be a re spectable poor man. The LORD MAyort—Oh, yes ! I have no doubt that he is one of what are called the swell mob. I know his face, and shall ask the gaoler about him. Gooch (the turnkey of the Compeer) was then called, and asked whether he knew anything of the prisoner. " Know him, my Lord ! Certainly I do. He has been in that spot before, and is well known as the companion of notorious thieves." It was stated that Mr. Brown, who is a very strong man, completely overpowered the prisoner, although in the midst of a set of thieves. The gentleman who saw the pin taken, not having attended the first examina tion, the prosecutor,ianxious to get such a ruffian punished, put an advertisement in the papers requesting his ap pearance—nobody answered his call. The LORD MAYOR asked whether the prosecutor could swear that he saw the pin taken himself ? Mr. Brown — I cannot. I missed it, however, the instant I was told it was gone. Tile prisoner's solicitor submitted that there was no case at all against his client. Mr. Brown—For the sake of public justice, I hope he may be punished in some way or other. It is not on ac count of the pin lost, but on account of the public, that I have pursued this inquiry so actively. The LORD MAYOR—I shall semi him to prison for three months at any rate, and the public are much in debted to the prosecutor. Mr. Paine (of Deptford) said, that after he had just stepped out of an omnibus, a gang of fellows, of which he believed the prisoner to be one , s ur rounded, and ki cke d , and robbed him of a sovereign and a half , a n d tr i ed to get his watch. They endeavoured to trip him up, and knocked his hat off three times. There appeared to be great fury in the thieves in Cornhill. - A elothesman, named Lazarus Walters, who keeps a clothes' shop near the Old Clothes'-market in Cutler street, and was said to be in good circumstances, was charged by Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor to the Commis sioner of Sewers, for having violated the Act of Parlia ment, by obstructing the way in Cutler-street, iri offering his goods for sale. The constable said he had frequently cautioned the defendant against the practice, but without effect. The offence having been clearly proved, Mr. Tyrrell called for the infliction of the highest penalty of 5/., as the defendant was prosperous, and kept a shop in which he was not satisfied to do business, but followed the example of the most indigent dealers. The LORD MAYOR—I shall fine him 2/. now, but if ever he offend again in this way, I shall fine him 51 The penalty was paid. GUILDHALL. A respectable-looking lad, about fourteen years of age, was charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Thomas Wylder, a tobacconist, carrying on business in Goswell-street-road. _ _ From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoner's father had been in his employment for many years prior to his death, at which time he left a large and helpless family, of which the prisoner was the eldest, and, in consequence of the high character his father bore, he took him into his employment, and placed the utmost confidence in him. Having missed various sums of money frem the till, his suspicions at length fell on the prisoner, when some marked money in the drawer, which was soon afterwards missed, was found upon him. At the recommendation of the prosecutor the prisoner was discharged, after a severe reprimand from the Alderman. Several poor creatures, who were in a state of the utmost destitution, were brought before the Bench, some on the charge of mendicancy, and others for breaking lamps, for the purpose of obtaining food and shelter in the station-house. A few of those whose health and strength seemed most impaired, got tickets of admission to the Hospital,'and the remainder were committed for various short terms of imprisonMent. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday, William Henry Ma ;den Gardiner, a master cabinet-maker, residing in Noble-street, Clerkenwell, was brought before Mr. Grimwood, charged by Mary Ann Gardiner, his wife, a sickly-looking young woman, who had scarcely a rag to - cover her, with having de serted her, and leaving her chargeable to the parish. LAUNCH OF A STEAMER. On the 13th instant a new steamer called the Taliesin, was launched at the building-yard of Messrs. Eyton Brothers, at Mostyn Colliery, Flintshire. She is en tirely owned by Messrs. Eyton, is intended to ply on the Liverpool and Mostyn station, and has been modelled so us to combine capability of stowage with speed. A pair of 45 horse steam-engines for the Taliesin are now in the course of erection at Mostyn Foundry. These engines have been recently invented by Messrs. Eyton, being on an entirely new principle, combining extraordinary lightness, with power, and economy of space. The two engines weigh about twelve tons, have no beams, and only occupy about four feet longitudinally of the vessel's hold. They have another advantage in long connecting rods, and the smallest possible amount of friction, both great desiderata among prac tical engineers. These engines are equally appli cable to steamers of the lightest, as of the heaviest class, from a river-boat drawing one foot of water, to the first-class war steamer. Taliesin, after whom the vessel is named, was a Welsh bard and prophet, who flourished during the sixth century. He was the bard of Urien Rheged, a Cumbrian (Cumberland) chieftain, who is supposed to have resided during the close of his life with Taliesin, among the disciples of Catwg the wise, at Liancarvan, in South Wales. In Taliesin's time Welsh was the vernacular tongue of Cumberland. The pro phetic lines given below are by Taliesin, in reference to the invasion and subsequent conquest of Britain by the Saxons, whereby the aborigines of the island were driven from its fairer portions to the fastnesses of Wales. The prophecy is remarkable fur having been in every respect so singularly fulfilled. Ei ner a volant, Ei hiaith a gadwant, Ei tir a gollant, Ond gwyllt Walla. Still shall they chaunt their Maker's praise, Still keep their language and their lays, But nought of all their old domain, Save Wallia's rude and mountain reign. —Chester Courant. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert took equestrian exercise this morning at the New Riding school. At a quarter past twelve o'clock, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Waiting, left the Castle in a carriage and four, with out riders, for Slough, and left that station by a special train for town, in expectation of the arrival of his Ma jesty the King of Prussia from the Continent. Prince Albert returned to the Castle about five o'clock in the afternoon. The illustrious visitors are now expected to arrive at the Castle to-morrow (Saturday). The Earl of Jersey arrived at the Castle on a visit during the stay of his Majesty the King of Prussia. The following visitors are also expected to arrive at the Castle this evening :—The Duchess of Buccleuch, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Marquis of Exeter, and the Earl of Aberdeen. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are in excellent health. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and at tended by Frances Lady Clinton, Hon. Charlotte Hud son, Hon. Miss Mitchell, Earl Howe, Sir Horace Sey mour, Sir David Davies, and the Rev. John R. Wood, left Sudbury-hall at half-past ten o'clock yesterday morn ing for town, travelling by the London and Birmingham Railway. Her Majesty and Suite arrived at Marlbo rough House at• a quarter before five in the afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Bouverie, arrived in town by a special train on the Great Western Railway yesterday morning from Windsor Castle, and immediately proceeded to Greenwich. Royal Highness returned to the terminus at Paddington shortly before four o'clock, and left town by a special train on his return to Windsor Castle. Baron Brunow, the Russian Minister, and M. Dedel, Netherlands' Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Attorney-General had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. A deputation of Machine-makers had an interview with the Earl of Ripon on Wednesday, at the office of the Board of Trade. The deputation included Mr. Jen kinson and Mr. Curtis, of Manchester, and Mr. Fair bairn, of Leeds. • Despatches from the Governors of the West India Co lonies were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. The weather has been extremely severe in this neieibourhood during the past week. A deep fall. of snow occurred in the latter part of last week, which was succeeded by a cold rain ; not sufficient, however, to complete the thaw; the remains of the snow now producing a picturesque effect on the land scape, especially as viewed across this vale to the • Malvern range. ' On Wednesday the frost was intense accompanied by a thick fog ; and while we write there is every prospect of its continuance. The roads have been much impeded, and most of the coaches which are still left on this line of road thereby considerably de layed, although it appears that the communication by railway has sustained but little check.— Worcester Journal. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—CU RIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday a singular accident happened to one of the passenger trains. It appears that a gentleman engaged fdr the conveyance of his car riage to Brighton, and the truck on which it was placed was the last in the train. The owner, although advised to the contrary, persisted in riding in his own carriage. On the train reaching Balcombe-tunnel (one of the larg est on the line), by some means the truck became disen gaged, and left, the truck in the middle of the tunnel. The unfortunate occupant, perceiving the train leaving him, called after them, but in vain, and finding they pro ceeded on their journey, he became dreadfully alarmed, being afraid to alight, and not knowing whether in a few minutes he might not be dashed to pieces by the next train. He had not been long in this suspense when an engine entered the tunnel, puffing away, and the whistle screaming ; he now considered his doom sealed, but the engine proved to be a pilot one sent to look after him, the truck and carriage having fortunately been missed on the tram arriving at the next station. The carriage and occupant were then conveyed to Brighton, where they :wive(' soon after the train, and the only inconve nience N ,vas the great fright the gentleman sustained. The accidt slit ought to be a warning to the servants of the Company; as the consequences wo uld be fearful to contemplate ha, • a traiu come in collision with the truck.

TIVERTON.---ESCAPE OF NINE PERSONS FROM GAOL.—On Friday morning last, our town was thrown into a state of great ex citement by the intelli gence that nine prisoners had esc; wed from our Borough Bridewell.

EIBBERT. This was an action upon a policy of insurance to re cover the value of a quantity of pigs which had been thrown overboard in a voyage from Waterford to Lon don. The defendant pleaded that the pigs having been placed upon the deck, had thereby impeded the naviga tion of the vessel, and that the shipowner was not entitled to recover their value. To that the;plaintiff had demurred. The Court in pronouncing its judgment, observed, that there might be valid reasons for stowing goods of a certain description on deck, such for instance as timber and live cattle, and they might be so stowed as not to interfere with the navigation of the vessel. The danger of the crew being tempted to throw them overboard when the vessel was in distress was quite insufficient to bar the plaintiff's right to recover. Much would depend upon usage, which in the present case was in favour of the plaintiff, and it seemed to the Court that the mere fact of stowing the goods on deck, without assigning , that they had been improperly so stowed, was not suffi -tient to exempt the defendant from his liability. Having 0 4ferred to several authorities on the subject, the Court 'tibierved that, in their opinion, the plea had been pro perly; demurred to, and their judgment must be for the BAIL COURT, Jan. 21. MANDAMUS--THE QUEEN V. TOWN COUNCIL Mr. GURNEY applied for a rule foTramangmUsdirect ing the Town Council of Harwich to swear in Mr. An thony Cox as Mayor of that borough. At the last elec tion for Mayor, Mr. Hart and Mr. Cox were the candi dates, and Mr. Hart had the majority of votes; but pre vious to the election notice had been given to the voters, that Mr. Hart was not qualified, he not being an Alder man, which he claimed to be, and that consequently all the votes for him would be thrown away. Since then application had been made for a quo warranto, calling on Mr. Hart to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the offi ce of Alderman, and judgment of ouster had been obtained against him. Under those circumstances Mr. Cox w as the onlylegal can did ate for the office of Mayor, a nd therefore e now a p p li e d f or a rule nisi for a mandamus calling on the Corporation to swear him in.—Application granted. "—CRIMINAL THE QUEEN V. "THE BRIG HTON GAZETTE. INFORMATION. • --- Mr. PLATT moved for a rule calling on the proprietors of the Brighton Gazette to show cause why a criminal in formation should not be filed against them for the pub lication of an article of a libellous character, reflecting on the character of two of the Brighton Magistrates. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS referred the Learned Counsel to the full Court, and observed that, as it was one of the highest functions the Court could exercise, he thought the full Court by far the most proper place in which to make all such applications. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 21. IN RE TUE BANKRUPTCY OF WM. HITCHCOCK. The adjourned examination of the above bankrupt was resumed this morning. Mr. HUMFREY wished to ask the official assignee whether he had not asked for information from the bank rupt, which had been furnished ? Mr. Gnoom said he had required further informa tion from the bankrupt—the answer was that he declined to give any information except in open Court. Mr. Mention said the official assignee only asked for information connected with the statements made in that Court. He had given all the information in his power to those who were, in fact, the assignees of the credi tors. Mr. Cook was not in reality an assignee. The whole of the figures respecting the balance had been as fully explained as it was in the power of the bankrupt. Mr. Human"' - denied this statement, Mr. GROOM said he certainly was of opinion that furtherinforrnation was required. He was not satisfied with that which had been furnished. Mr. HtnuragY appealed to the Court to force the PRICE 5d WORSHIP-STREET. Jeremiah Kelly, a tall athletic man, was brought before Mr. Broughton upon a charge of having violently as saulted his wife, a woman of diminutive stature, who was several years older than the prisoner. From the evidence of the complainant (whose face was disfigured with bruises) it appeared that at the time of her marriage with the prisoner, she was in very comfort able circumstances, but he soon squandered away her little property in riot and debauchery, and since her means became exhausted, he had been in the habit of behaving in the most brutal manner towards her. On Wednesday night he returned home in such a drunken state that he was incapable of ill-using her as he inva riably did under such circumstances ; but he awoke at an early hour in the morning, and commenced a violent attack upon her, tearing the hair out of her head, and swearing that he would murder her. lie afterwards kicked her out of bed, and on her calling out for assist- - ance he seized hold of her throat, and compressed it till she was almost strangled. The only motive he assigned for his brutal conduct was, that she was too old and too ugly for him, and he was resolved to get rid of her. c m O p t l l i a e i r n N a v n i t t n ; e s N s v e h s e i confirmed the Magistrate istr a m t e a in facts ordered s t t a h t e e d prisoner the to pay a fine of 505., or be committed for six weeks to the House of Correction. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.— There seems to be a suspicion abroad that the funds requisite to carry out the capitalisation scheme of Senor Gamboa have not been procured, and as some, of the bondholders may be disposed to make needless sacrifices of their property in consequence, we think it right to state that the .fact scarcely admits of a doubt. A considerable portion of the money was, as we have be fore explained, to be advanced by the bank of San Fer nando, an establishment of the good faith of which there can be as little question as of the power. We learn, moreover, from authentic sources, that this part of the affair has, in truth, been definitively settled. Some minor points connected with the project have perhaps yet to be arranged, or it may be that the whole of the members of the Commission appointed have not reached London. The bondholders should, at any rate, prepare themselves for a certain delay in the actual payment. We have reason to believe that the Ambassador, General Sancho, has written out very energetically to his Government on the subject of the advertised, but still unpaid, Treasury bills, and as, to proceed to the liquidation of posterior claims while they remain in abeyance and dishonour, would be an un paralleled act or treachery, and the most fatal stab of all to Spanish credit, that business may have the effect of protracting the final execution of the measure. Under all the circumstances, it is not impossible that M. Bor rajo and his coadjutors may have orders, as a prelimi nary matter, to ascertain the state of feeling which pre vails among the different classes of creditors, or, as the French neatly express it, tatonner le terrain. We may venture, in the meanwhile, to intimate to, Senor Borrajo. that, as lie cannot but be aware of the uneasiness of the public on the.subject of his mission, the least lie could have done, in propriety, would have been at once to make known his arrival, and to add the assurance of his having the pesos duros safe in his pos session, for the most speedy distribution that was at all practicable. Such a course of proceeding would not only have conveyed the idea of a desire on his part to , show the bondholders common civility, but it would have served, at the same time, to silence reports injurious to his Gouernment, and to check the stock-jobbing ope rations consequent upon them, in which, tor aught we know, it may be their conviction that he is himself an interested party. The present Spanish Government are not so ignorant of the transgressions of their predeces sors in power as to flatter themselves that the bond holders will take on trust all they choose to utter at Madrid. The circumstance that M. Borrajo is known to have at length got through his arduous journey to Lon-, don, and that he is actually at hand to proceed to busi ness, if he thought fit to do so, tends to increase the sus picion that there must be something wrong. As this matter was still in suspense, the Chairmin of the Treasury bondholders, with that zeal and prompti tude for which he is distinguished, waited in the course of the day on Senor Murrieta for the purpose of ascer taining from him, if possible, whether the intended pay ment would include an instalment of any kind for the constituency represented by him. Mr. Tasker requested to be explicitly informed of the truth, yes or no, in order that he might be able to answer the anxious inquiries of parties addressing him on the subject of their claims, now between five and six years overdue ; when, to his great surprise, he learned that Senor Murietta could say nothing, and who, in fact, disclaimed having anything whatever to do with the business. This may, inde e d well account for the brevity of M. Murrieta's note in reply to Mr. Thornton, as to the nature of his in structions. SUN.—The Stock Market did not to-day present any remarkable feature, neither the public nor the jobbers coming forward to operate. Prices on the average were sustained notwithstanding. Money is still easy. Consols for present transfer were done at 89 to 89i closing sellers at this latter rate, and for Account at 89} to it. The Unfunded Debt remained at 16s. to 18s. premium, and East India Bonds at 10s. to 12s. premium. Bank Stock was worth 167, and India Stock 2471. The New Three-and-a-Ralf per Cents. were at 984 to 98+, and the Three per Cent. Annuities at 89i to 89g. The inactivity in Spanish Bonds at the present moment is considered very remarkable, seeing that the specula tions for a long time past have been based almost solely upon the expected arrival of Surra y Hull's Com missioner. The Active Bonds were to-day quoted 25 to 24+, being flat. Portuguese Three per Cents. were at 20+ ; Mexican unproved to 291 30 ; Chilian were steady at 70 - Brazilian advanced — to 84, sultPitus sian to 1151 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were down to 51. There was some flatness in the Railway Shares, but no general depression. Brighton did not fluctuate much, being 14 to 12i discount. Birmingham and London were 7914, Manchester and Leeds 2, and Great Western 12 to 121 premium. National Provineittlkitt of•FAIr land Shares improved to par. The Foreign Exchanges were not so good this after noon, the rates being as follow :—Paris 25f. 72c. to 75c. ; Frankfort 1493 to 150 ; Amsterdam 12 4} ; Ham burgh at 13 10f to a ; Antwerp 12 4; Trieste 9 51 to 52. [ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND 'OINTNIENT.- AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mrs. Pry, of Trafalgar.; street, Wahvorth, was, on the 16th of April, admitted to .Guy's Hospital as a patient, with a bad leg of five years' standing ; it was nearly as hard a bone, with nine ulcers and frightfully swollen. Not deriving the least benefit from the treatment in the Hospital, she left it 01'4 the 16th of May; and on the 18th of October she we 4:: brought to Professor Holloway's establishment in a cart,,: . with her leg wrapped in a blanket. In five weeks it was - radically cured by means of the Ointment and Pills, which are sold at the Proprietor's Establishment, 244, Strand, near Temple-bar, where advice may be had gratis ; and sold by every respectable chemist through- out the kingdom. The Ointment will immediately cure _ _ THE " OBSERVER " NEWSPAPER.--Persons desirous of preserving a faithful report, for future re ference, of the proceedings connected with the splendid ceremony of the Christening of his Royal highness the Prince of Wales, are recommended to preserve the two next Observers ; that of Sunday, Jan. 23, will contain all the preliminary particulars, and the Observer of Sun day, Jan. 30, will comprise the most correct aceount of the ceremonial. • The day before yesterday, as two forest-keepers were going their rounds in a wood near Versailles, to watch the persons admitted to pick the dead sticks, they found a man cutting down live wood with a bill-hook. On their desiring him to desist, he insulted and threat ened to attack them. The keepers attempted to seize him, and in the struggle one of their guns, which he was trying to wrest from their hands, went off, and killed him on the spot. A " WHOLE HOG " SUNDAY SCH OOL TEACHER.—At the conclusion of a. t e a-party of Sund a y school teachers, at Zion-school, Wibsey, the follo w i ng sentiment was proposed, " The Queen and th e P r i nce . of Wales—may sue prove a po lls m other, and he an obedient 'and affectionate son:: The speaker paused, and then added," And may his father send hi m to a Sunday school !"
