MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW:=, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. POST.—There seems to be a suspicion abroad that the funds requisite to carry out the capitalisation scheme tat' 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 vet to be arranged, or it may he that the whole ot 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 of 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. for rajo and his coadjutors may have orders, as a prelimi nary matter, to certain the state of feeling which •as pre vails among the different classes of creditors, or, as the French neatly txpres- it, tatonner I! terrain. We may venture, in the meanwhile, to intimate to Senor Borrajo. that, as he cannot but be aware of the uneasiness of the public on the subject of his mission, the least he 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 (biros 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, for 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 lower as tip 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 tit to do so, tends to increase the sus picion that there must be something wrong. As this matter was still in suspense, the Chairman 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 mining 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 partied addressing him on the subject of their claims, now between five and six veers overdue ; when, to his great surprise, he learned that Senor Murietta could say nothing, and who, in tact, disclaimed having anything whatever to do with the business. This may, indeed, well account for the brevity of M. Murrietsis note in reply to Mr_ Thornton, as to the nature of his in structions. not be explained except by supposing that there was some contract between the parties. Taking possession was an act of part performance, because it implied the consent of the lessor, but where an agreement was accompanied with a lease which explai ned the p ossession, it was im possible to consider it as part performance. Therefore, as far as the original transaction went, it did not appear to him that there was any act of part per formance which could be relied upon. It had been argued, however, at the bar that the Coopers' Company had had notice of the lease to Mr. Trinder, at the time when it was granted, and also in 1783, and had per mitted expenditure to go on since, and it was said that he might from those facts infer an original agreement to grant a license. If the Coopers' Company had per mitted the East India Company to spend a fortune upon the premises, the cases which had been cited would apply to the present. Upon the question of notice, his Honour said, he might wish ' for further information. A second question would be as to the waiver, and a third as to the construction of the Act of Parliament. Upon these two questions he should be spoken to ; but it would very much narrow the case to settle the question of notice ; as, according to his pre sent view, his decision would entirely turn upon the ques tion of conduct. He thought it would be better that the case should stand over till Tuesday, when he would be able to state his opinion on that point. The case was then ordered to stand over generally. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 22. THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF RISHWORTII.. This was an appeal from an order of Sessions for the removal of a pauper from the parish of Rishworth, in Yorkshire, to the parish of Staley-bridge, in Lancashire. Mr. Wortley appeared on behalf of the appellants, and Mr. Baines on behalf of the respondents. The arguments turned chiefly upon the question of whether there was sufficient legal evidence of the birth of the pauper, and of the other facts in the case, to autho rise the Justices at Sessions to make the order in ques tion. '['here was nothing of public interest in the case, the arguments being directed to the construction of the various Acts of Parliament for regulating the settlement and removal of paupers. THE QUEEN V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a mandamus issued at the instance of the Commissioners for paving the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields, calling upon the defendants to build a bridge in conformity- with - the provisions of their Act of Parlia ment—the 6th and 7th Wm. IV.—one of the sections of which required that a space of 16 feet should intervene between the key-stone of the arch and the level of the ground. The Railway Company had built a bridge in Brick-lane, the height of which was only 15 feet 1 inch, and they were desirous of lowering the street in order to gain the required depth. This power they claimed under the 9th section of their Act, but it was denied by the I Paving Commissioners on the strength of a Local Act, I2th Geo. 111. c. 38 (which forbade any alterations in the roads or pavements of the parish without their prior consent), conjointly with the 120th section of the Rail way Act, which reserved the privileges of parishes pos sessing local Acts. The Commissioners called upon the Company to substitute an iron-bridge for the stone bridge they had erected, and their return to the manda mus was a claim of the power to lower the road, and thus gain the necessary height. The COURT took time to consider the question, which entirely turned on the construction of the various sections of the Acts of Parliament above-mentioned. BAIL COURT, Jan. 22. JOHNSON V. CHARLES MATHEWS. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 22. WALKEII V. ASTON. Mr. James applied to his Lordship for a writ of distrin gas to compel the defendant to put in an appearance. The affidavit, in support of the application, stated that re peated calls had been made at the defendant's house for the purpose of serving him with process, on which occa sions the attorney's clerk was invariably informed that the defendant was gone to Covent-Garden Theatre, and on application at the stage door of that establishment, he was as frequently told that the defendant could not be seen. The clerk explained to the door-keeper the nature of his visit, and after repeated ineffectual attempts to ob tain an interview with the defendant, left a copy of the process with him. Indeed, it appeared that although Mr. Charles Mathews might almost nightly be seen by the public on the stage of Covent-Garden Theatre, he was never to be seen anywhere else by anybody. Mr. Justice Wattems granted the writ. Mr. Sal;AnT relied to-day in this case, which came be fore the Court upon motion on the behalf of Messrs. Storr and. Mortieaer, the eminent jewellers, who sought for the conduct of the suit which had been instituted for the management of the estate of the late Mr. Harvey Aston, who was largely indebted to Messrs. Storr and )dortimer. The ground on which the application was IROAIR was, that the plaintiffs had not used due diligence prosecuting the suit. The LORI) CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment. BAYDEN V. WATSON. The Lord Chancellor wai occupied the remainder of the day with the further arguments in this part-heard whi.:th came before the Court upon exceptions and further directions. The particulars of the case are totally devoid of any public interest. THE QUEEN V. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. ROLLS' COURT, Jan. 22. The Courl. was compied the whole morning, disposing of motions, none of whieb possessed any features of general interest. Mr. WILSON applied to his Lordship for a rule, calling upon Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Chairman of the Mid dlesex Sessions, to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding him to issue the usual process of the ourt for the apprehension of William Ernest Russell and William Russell, jun., against whom the Grand Jury had found a true bil for keeping a common gaming-house. The bill was found in June last, and the prosecutor, a foreigner, named Xenophon Yattman, immediately afterwards left town for Paris. He returned in about six months, and then applied to Mr. Sergeant Adams for warrants against the defen dants. The Learned Chairman refused to grant them on the ground that there had been great delay in making the application. Mr. Justice Wil.m..ims said he had never heard of a writ of mandamus going in such a case, and refused the application. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Jan. 22. • (Before the Vlcg-CatatatmLon of ENGLAND.) COCKBUB.k V. 84011.12 L. The further argumants is this ease, which had been before the Court yesterday, were resumed this morning. Mr. WAKEFIELD contended, on the part of the peti tioner, that the intentions of the founder of the Charity bad not been carried out by the members of St. Lazarus to the extent which the funds ad mitted. The annual amount of the trust fund was 1,3801. ; while there had never been more than fourteen boys educzted at a time upon the foundation. It appeared that the expenses of the maintenance of each scholar could not amount to more than 251. a-year ; and although the monks had undertaken, in conformity with I COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 22. the wishes of the testator, to translate and print certain CRANE v.

He confessed that it did not appear to him that any such case had , been brought before the Court. It appeared that there remained in the hands of the ad ministrators, after paying all expenses, a sum of 35,000 Austrian livres, but that was an unreasonably large suiplus. It had been explained that a sum of 8,000 livres had been transmitted to Constantinople , _ but that sum might agent properly be devoted to an establish ment in that city for the convenience of the Armenian youths sent from Constantinople to Venice. There was nothing in the conduct of the administrators which ap peared to him flagitious—nothing that required par ticular animadversion or even particular inquiry. The petition as it seemed to him, had arisen out of what he might call the excessively thficions zeal of the peti tioner'. He admitted that it was natural that the peti tioner, who was the son of the founder of the charity, should inquire about the manner of its administration ; but after all the explanations that had passed between him and the monks, he thought it would have been better to have let the matter drop. It appeared that the petitioner had advanced the administrators 690/. which he had not receive - 4 from the Accountant-General. That sum should be repaid to him. But taking the petition altogether, he should dismiss it, and dismiss it with costs. ' Mr. Wakefield, :Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Koe, appeared in the case for the petitioner, and Mr. Bethell for the monks of St. Lazarus and the Archbishop of Venice, the present administrators of the charity. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) Some unopposed petitions and short causes were dis posed of in the early part of the morning by his Honour. BURRIDGE V.

Mr. PLATT, in this case, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be entered for the plaintiff, with damages for 321. 6s. The action was tried on Thursday and Friday last, before Mr. Baron Rolfe, who had directed a nonsuit, with liberty to the counsel for the plaintiff to move to enter a verdict in his favour for 32/. 6s. damages. The action was one of trespass, to recover compensation in damages for injury alleged to have been sustained by means of an illegal distraint on the goods and chattels of the plaintiff by the defendant. The question, said the Learned Counsel, in the first instance, was, whether the parish of St. Martin in-the-Fields, by their officers, had a right to distrain on the goods of the tenant for the non-payment of the poor's-rates by the landlord. That had 'been the first point in the cause. The warrant of distress had directed that the goods of Andrew Duncan should be distrained upon. It so happened, that in this as in many other parishes there was a local Act of Parliament, under the provisions of which the poor, as well as other rates, were directed to be made and recovered. That Act was the 11th Geo. 111., c. 76, and by the 18th section it was provided " that the goods and chattels of each and every person renting or occupying any separate part or apartment in such house or building, or renting or occupying any ready-furnished house or any part thereof, shall be liable to be distrained and sold for the payment of the said rates or assessments ; and that each and every person who shall pay such rates or assess ments so charged on his or her respective landlord or landlords, or upon whose goods, or on whose chattels, the same shall be levied in pursuance of this Act, shall and may deduct the same from and out of the rent due and payable from time to time to his, her, or the ' ir, re spective landlord or landlords so - letting out the same ; and the receipt for such payment shall be a sufficie nt discharge to his or her said landlord or landlords for so much money as he or she shall have so paid, or as shall have been so levied on his or her goods and chattels in pursuance of this Act." He had submitted, in reference to this clause, to the Learned Judge at the trial, that the warrant did not give authority to take the goods of the plaintiff, because although the Act might have ren dered the goods, tinder this particular provision of the Act, liable, yet that that.warrailt having been directed against the goods of the landlord, and not against those of the tenant, could not be legally put in force against the latter. It was clear, if it had been determined by the parish to make the levy under the eighteenth clause, that they ought to have taken out a summons calling on him to appear before a Magistrate. If they had adopted that, which be contended would have been the only proper course, then the tenant would have had an opportunity of showing how far, and to what extent, he could, with any approach to reason, have been held liable ; and if the Magistrate before whom he had been summoned had seen that he could not have been held in any way liable then he would have taken care that a warrant authorizing a levy should not have issued. Let him for a moment put this case : a tenant was a tenant at a monthly or weekly payment of rent, and that he had always been in the habit of regu larlv discharging his landlord's claim upon him, could such a man be deemed liable to any defalcation in the payment of rates by the man under whom he held ? Certainly not. Supposing another case : a man owed his landlord a pound for rent; would the parish be jus tified in distraming upon his goods and chattels for an emu of parochial rates, as in the present instance, amounting to upwards of 12/. ? He apprehended not. Well, then, was it not necessary, where the parish au thorities had determined to distrain on the tenant's goods for an arrear of payment by the landlord, that that ten ant should be summoned before the magistrate in order to ascertain bow far, if at all, his individwd liability would justify a levy upon his goods ? Could it be ima gined for an instant that in such cases as he had just sub mitted for their Lordships' consideration any magistrate would issue a warrant for a distress as against those lod- MORNING SUN TILE LONDON, MONDAN, JAICUARY 24, 1842. • gers ? lie most confidently gave it as his opinion that there was no man who would hazard the responsibility. Then, in the present instance, there had been no warrant as against the plaintiff ; but that which it was stated the defendant had acted upon had been distinctly directed against the goods of the la n dl or d. The Learned Judge on the trial had been disposed to think that under the clause in question the goods of the lodger (the plaintiff) were liable, a4d had ruled accordingly, at the same time reserving him leare to move the full Court upon the point. Lord ABINGER said, if he rightly understood the Learned Counsel, there had not been any summons taken out as against the plaintiff ? Mr. PLATT replied that there had not. Lord ABINeSEB—Then there could not have been any warrant issued to him, inasmuch as the summons was the first step. There could be no warrant without a summons. Mr. PLATT had certainly conceived that there could not. The Learned Gentleman then cited several cases in support of his argument, and remarked that not only had there not been any summons against the plaintiff, but that it had subsequently turned out that there had not been any summons served upon Duncan, the landlord, upon which latter summons, it had been contended, the warrant of distress had issued. There had certainly been an attempt to prove that fact by the defendant, but it had failed altogether ; whilst all that had been proved had been, that there had been a warrant, and the legality of the rate. There were three other points which he had put. First, as he had stated, he had contended that the warrant having been against the goods of the tenant, could not legally be taken • then, that there had been no summons given to the land lord, much less the tenant ; and next, it had been submitted by the other side that there had been no demand of the warrant at the time of the seizure. Upon the last point the Learned Judge who had tried the case had been in his favour. Mr. Baron ALDERSON observed that, if upon mature consideration of the whole case, the ultimate decision of the Court should be that the goods of the tenant were placed by the provisions of the Act of Parliament in the same situation as though they had belonged to the land lord, then the demand for the warrant would become material. But the demand, it appeared, had not been made. Mr. PLATT—No. Then there had been another point. It had been observed on the part of the plaintiff that a man had no right to have bean left on the premises. He was not aware of any enactment which, in such a case, authorised the step of putting a man in possession of the goods, under such a distress, upon the premises. The property might be taken away and then sold, but there was no authority given to place a man in possession of the property on the premises. The COURT granted the rule to show cause. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 22. IN THE MATTER OF THE RBV. WM. BAILEY. The insolvent in this case was the clergyman of a chapel of ease at Tunbridge Wells, and had received his license to preach there, but several creditors against the Her. Gentleman having sued him for the building of the same chapel, he was compelled to seek the benefit of the Act. After some conversation between Commissioner Bowen and Mr. Nicholls the case was ordered to stand for hear ing on Wednesday week. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLEI?KENWELL. On Friday, William Henry Mayden 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. 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 with him to London, where he com menced business, but he represented that he was about toproceed 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 through 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. Mr, GREENWOOD inquired of the prisoner, what he had to say ? Prisoner—She left me. It was an unfor tunate marria g e ; we married young, and without the consent of our friends. I struggled hard to support her, and she left me for six months. The prosecutrix positively denied this. _ An overseer here stated, that the prisoner was keeping another woman, with whom he was living, and from in quiries he had made, he was satisfied that there was no blame attributable to the prosccutrix. Mr. Gannziwoon—lf he don't allow her 4s. per week, I shall commit him to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for one month. Prisoner (looking bitterly at his wife)—l would rather be hung up at Newgate first. He was then handed over to Waddington, the gaoler, who locked him up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Gray and William Fleming were charged with having assaulted Mr. Balcomb, of Blenheim-street. It appeared that Mr, Balcomb had let an apartment to a journeyman tailor named Daly, but as this arrangement was not very desirable, it was settled that Daly should leave the premises after a particular day. Instead, how ever, of doing as wished, Daly kept possession of the room, and in order to annoy the landlord as much as possible, called in numbers of his friends (Irish jour neymen tailors), who kept up a continual noise by danc ing, singing, and shouting during the best part of the night. The complainant finding the nuisance likely to continue, engaged three or four stablemen from a neigh bouring mews to clear the room on Friday night. Ac cordingly, while the whole party of Irish tailors, about two dozen in number, were in the midst of their uproar ious jollification, the stablemen made their appearance, and having been set at defiance, went to work, and in a twinkling cleared the room. The affrighted tailors went pell-mell down the stairs. Several of them, however, having seen Balcomb in the passage, dragged him into the street, threw him down, and kicked him. The two defendants, having.been identified as being engaged in this attack, were taken into custody. Mr. HARDWICKE said that Daly ought to have been considered the ringleader ; his conduct was most unjus tifiable, and had he been one of the parties charged, he would have been punished with the utmost severity of the law.—The two defendants were then fined 4/. each. LAMBETH-STREET. On Friday, Mr. Henry John Smith, who has been twice before examined at this Court on a charge of se ducing the wife of Mr. Hunter, landlord of the Grey-coat Boy Tavern, Greenwich, and also with being concerned in stealing a quantity of property belonging to the hus band, was again placed at the bar for final examination. Mr. Shaw, a solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham attended on behalf of the accused. Mrs. Hunter was also in Court during the proceedings. Several witnesses were examined, but they did not sub stantiate the charge of robbery against the prisoner, and he was discharged. He left the Court in company with Mrs. Hunter and a number of his friends who attended the examination. UNION-HALL. Henry Stanhope, a man of gentlemanly appearance, was charged with threatening to shoot Miss Elizabeth S. French, the daughter of a retired tradesman at Vauxhall. The complainant, a young lady of interesting appear ance, stated that she had been acquainted with the de fendant about four months, during which time he visited at her father's house, and paid his addresses to her. He represented himself to be possessed of 3001. per annum, besides having 9,0001. in the funds ; some suspicion, however, being excited in" the minds of her family that the defendant was not the person he described himself, and as he refused to give any reference or proof as to his respectability, he was forbidden the house. He, however, came there in defiance of her family, and upon a recent occasion he threatened to murder her if she proved faithless to him, said that he had purchased a pair of pistols for the purpose, and exhibited some bullets, which were intended, he said, to destroy her ; and, besides this, he had taken an opportunity of defaming hercharacter in the most infamous manner to a gentleman connected with her family, whom he also vowed vengeance against, under the supposition that he intended to sup plant him in the affections of the complainant. This statement was fully confirmed by the father and sister of the complainant. The prisoner could only allege in excuse that he was highly excited at being denied ad mittance to the house. He still refused to give any re ference of proof as to his family, but acknowledged that he had 1001. per annum, which was allowed him by his father. It was stated by a tailor that he had lately made clothes for the prisoner, upon being informed that he -visited at the complainant's house, and that he had been unable to get paid for them. au2 nop do M oinb. r ,e . tah C onef o dgd r fioe i nf t edd zi n c bdt s eawhn A oat m vta , iouotrehuenrett;iel:aris at intogtohi f s e t l r hso a nio t smi e . 0 , said etwotni mk ee h eh e p shoulde threcogn i sancepeac c a i en l congratu lated Miss French upon having escaped from the artful meshes which the defendant had endeavoured to throw around her. _ The defendant was committed in default of procuring ,he necessary sureties. CROYDON POLICE. Mr. Wire, the Solicitor to the Licensed Victualler's Protection Society, attended on Saturday before the Bench for the purpose of supporting a memorial, signed by a number of licensed victuallers of Croydon, praying that the Bench would not allow apoor-rate that had just been made by the parish-officers to be carried into effect. Mr. G. Penfold, the Vestry Clerk, attended in support of the rate. The memorial was read. It set forth that certain premises in the Middle-row having been formerly occu pied as a beer-shop, and rated at 101. 165., after having been unoccupied for some time, had recently been rated at 161., for the purpose of enabling a party, in conformity with the recent Act of Parliament, to hold them as a beer-shop, and it was alleged that one of the parish of ficers had privately signed a certificate declaring the pro perty to be of the value required by the Act, and that by this means the Act, which was passed for the purpose of doing away with this class of beer-houses, was rendered nugatory. The memorialists, therefore, prayed that, under these circumstances, the Magistrates would refuse to confirm this portion of the rate. Mr. Wire addressed the 'Bench at some length, and was followed by Mr. Penfold on the other side, when the Bench said they did not think they had any jurisdiction in the matter, and without expressing any opinion upon the facts they confirmed the rate. THE NIGER EXPEDITION. The public mind has been already prepared for the afflicting intelligence respecting the Niger Expedition. which it is the object of this article to communicate. It is, therefore, only necessary that we should preface the narrative with the assurance that the facts about to be stated may be entirely relied on, having been drawn from letters and other documents of unquestionable authority. On the 20th of August the vessels of the expedition commenced the ascent of the river, having passed safely over the bar i s days previously. This delay was oc casioned by the necessity they were under of repairing what is technically termed " the tails " of their rudders, which had been damaged during their passage from Accra to the mouth of the stream. On the 26th they anchored opposite to Eboe, a place situated at the upper angle of the Delta, and distant 120 miles from the sea. Thus far no case of sickness had occurred amongst the Xuropeans which did not immediately yield to medical treatment. The weather was remarkably favourable, the thermometer ranging from 74 degrees to 84 degrees, with a clear, sky and occasional refreshing showers. After receiving a visit from Obi, the King of Eboe, on which occasion a treaty was concluded with him for the total abolition of the slave trade and human seen ' fices, the expedition proceeded on its course, arriving at Iddah, 100 miles higher up, on the 2d of September. Here for the first time the African fever broke out amongst the crew with violence,' commencing on board the Albert, and rapidly spreading to the "Wilberforce and the Soudan. Captain Trotter, however, considered it his duty still to persevere. In this resolve it is some comfort to know that the other officers of the squadron fully concurred. Accordingiy, after the ratification of a treaty similar to the one already described, with the Attah (King) of Iddah; and the purchase from him of a piece of land, to be chosen higher up the stream, for the establishment of a model farm (the selection of which was left to the Commissioners, the three com manders, and Mr. Cook) the vessels ascended to the con fluence of the Niger and the Chadda, 270 miles above the sea. This they reached on the 11th September. A tract of land having been fixed on, not far from this point, for the farm, and having been duly made o ver by ac credited agents f the Attah, the stores were landed, and the persons originally appointed to the office left in charge of them. In the meantime disease continued its afflict ing ravages. To such an extent, indeed, did it spread, that on the 19th it was resolved to put the sick, now amounting to 46, on board the Soudan, and to dispatch her to the sea. Lieut. Fishbourne, of the Albert, was placed in charge of her, while her commander, Capt. B. Allen, removed on board the Albert. With regard to the Soudan we need only further remark that at the mouth of the river she happily fell in with her Majesty's steamer Dolphin, to which the sufferers were trans ferred, and which proceeded with them direct to the island of Ascension, while the Soudan continued her course to Fernando Po. Meanwhile it was deter mined by the commanders of the vessels still up the river to prosecute their voyage, the Wilberforce as cending the Chadda, and the Albert the Niger. The particulars thus far recounted have, by scraps, been for the most part before the public for the last three weeks. It seems necessary, however, briefly to recapitulate them, in order to a perfect understanding of the re mainder of this sad narrative. By sunset on the evening of the 19th (the day on which the Soudan sailed from the confluence) several entirely new cases of fever had broken out on board the Wilberforce ; the history of which vessel, now about to be separated from her consort, we shall take up first. Amongst these were her com mander, Captain William Allen, her master and purser; also the botanist and the mineralogist attached to the expedition. To ascend the Chadda under these circum stances would, of course, have been madness; to stay at the confluence but little less. No alternative remained except that of turning the vessel's head down the stream and following in the track of the Soudan. Accordingly immediate preparations were made for carrying into effect this new change of plan, and on the morning of the 21st the Wilberforce began her downward voyage, having previously taken on board sundry fresh patients from the Albert. Owing to various stoppages occasioned by the necessity of pro curing supplies of wood, a duty of peculiar difficulty in the weak-handed condition of the vessel, she did not reach the open sea until the 29th. On the morning of October the 2d, however, by the blessing of Almighty God, she anchored safely in the port of Clarence, Fernando Po. During her passage to the mouth of the river she lost her purser, Mr. Wakaham, and after her arrival at Clarence, Mr, Harvey, the master of the Albert, and Mr. Collman, assistant-surgeon of the Soudan. Here it affords us the greatest pleasure to record an instance of that noble generosity which we trust and believe marks the character of the British merchant and the British sailor. Mr.:Jamieson, of Liverpool, the owner of several vessels trading on the western coast of Africa, had sent out instructiocs to the ship-masters in his employ to ren der all the assistance in their power to the officers and crews of the Niger expedition. Accordingly, on the 6th of October, the Ethiope steamer, one of the vessels alluded to, made her appearance at Fernando Po, and her commander, Mr. Becroft, at the solicitation of Cap tain William Allen, instantly turned his vessel's head towards the Niger, with an intent to ascend in search of the Albert, and render her any assistance she might appear to require. On the 9th the Wilberforce again weighed anchor and set sail for Ascension, where she arrived after a tedious passage of more than five weeks, on the 17th of Novem ber. During the former part of this passage she was accompanied by her Majesty's steamer Pluto, which, in various ways, rendered her effective assistance. The last accounts received from the Wilberforce convey the gra tifying intelligence that the fever appeared to have been almost subdued, for that no serious case of illness re mained on board. We now return to the Albert, which we left on the eve of her departure from the confluence to ascend the Niger. This, as we have already said, was on the 21st of September. On the 28th she arrived at Egga, situ ated between 50 and 60 miles above the junction of the Chadda and 320 from the sea. During this short passage she lost two of her seamen, whilst several others were taken ill; nor did the officers escape—Capt. Bird Allen was attacked within four hours after the departure of the Wilberforce, and Capt. Trotter himself whilst the yes sel lay at Egga. At this place the Kroomen were em ployed in taking a large quantity of firewood. This, ne cessary duty, of course, occupied considerable time. As soon as it was completed Captain Trotter, who now saw clearly the necessity of abandoning the enterprise, and whose judgment was confirmed by that of the surgeon, Dr. M‘Williain, gave the necessary orders for returning down the river. On the 4th of October, therefore, the steam was once more got up, and th e Alb ert f o ll owe d h er consorts to the sea. Her condition at this period may be judged of by the fact that she had but a single officer and two or three European seamen capable of performing their duty. The confluence was passed upon the 9th, and immediately afterwards the model farm, where, finding the Europeans all ill of the fever, Captain Trotter took them on board, and continued to pursue his melancholy voyage. On the 12th the vessel anchored off Eboe, and was sup plied by King Obi with a quantity of wood, which he had previously got ready for her, and which with great kindness, he put on board with the least possible delay. Here Mr. Kingdon, the clerk of the Soudan, died. He had remained ashore at the farm during the Albert's absence at Egga, and was dangerously ill at the period of his re-embarkation. Thus far the Albert had made her way in safety, through the merciful Providence of God; but her poor suffering inmates could not forget the dangerous bar which was still to be passed before they could leave the region of pestilence and death behind them. Happily, their anxieties on this head were destined to a speedy termination, for in the afternoon of the 13th their eyes were gladdened with the sight of the Ethiope's smoke as she steamed rapidly up the water of the Delta. Capt. Becroft at once put his first engineer on board the unfortunate Albert, and by incessant exertions both vessels crossed the bar soon after sunrise on the 16th, and cast anchor in Clarence Cove late in the even ing of the following day. Next morning 28 patients were taken ashore, and kindly received into various private houses. Amongst the sufferers were Captains Trotter and Bird Allen— the former happily convalescent, the latter, alas, fast sinking into the grave. On the 25th, at half-past nine, A.M., his brave and gentle spirit exchanged a world of sorrow for one of unmixed and unchanging joy. Of the condition of the remaining patients our accounts are too general to enable us to speak with anything like cer tainty ; as the Lady Combermere, which sailed from Clarence on the 26th, and by which we have received the accounts communicated above, left but nine days after the return of the Albert from the Niger, it could not of course be expected that she should bring intelligence of so sa tisfactory a kind as we may hope, and, we would fain trust, look for by the next arrivals. Such is the melancholy story which it has become our duty to set before the public. STATE OF TRADE. any increased this week, and the ne w observable 3ear h in u the not Foreignyet increased activity in LEEDS, JAN. 2I.—A slight improvement has been prospects for the future are rather more favourable. The the sales of English Wool. Prices remain stationary. We are still without any inprovement in the demand fur rou l g V h o t ol a rr n goods at our Cloth-halls this week, the quantity sold being quite as small as for the last few weeks past, and prices continue to be unremunerating. In the ware houses business continues equally dull ; very few buyers having been in the market since the commencement of the year. MANCHESTER, JAN. 20.—Our Cloth Market is again nearly as dull as ever it has been known, and the excep tions are so few, and the variation in value so very small, that it can hardly be said of the manufacturers generally, that their condition is the least improved. Many are buoying themselves up with the hope that the opening of the new Parliament will give an impetus to the dull ness that exists, whilst the more sober part think that there is nothing but a war of competition to be waged with our foreign rivals, and that things, if they perma nently improve at all, will do so but very slowly. Yarns are also dull sale, and quantitiescann ot be sold even at old rates.—Leeds Mercury. HOP INTELLIGENCE.

(Signed) T. S. SCRIVEN, Lieut.-Com. Com. Mercer, Superintendent of Her Majesty's Packets, Dover. TRADE Or SOUTHAMPTON.—We understand that the business of this port in the past year trebled that of any preceding. The exports have increased in the same time fivefold, and the number of passengers landed from foreign countries amounted to nearly 50 per day during the 365 days. There were 553 vessels inwards from foreign ports, and with cargoes outwards nearly 300. This year commences under auspices still more favour able, for now we shall have a direct communication with all the West India Islands, New York, Halifax, the coast of South America, the Isthmus of Panama, &c., once a fortnight, besides twice a month to Alexandria, Suez, Calcutta, Madras, and Ceylon. We are also gra tified to find that there is a corresponding augmentation of the coasting trade ; hence Southampton now ranks as a port of importance in the commercial world, and the first in England for passenger traffic.—Hampshire Ade pendeht. A MILITARY NIGHT LARK.—About one o'clock on Wednesday morning three young military offi cers belonging to different depots stationed in Canterbury, on returning home from the theatre, am use d th emse l ves with hallooing, hooting, and hurrahing as loud as their lungs would permit them. On being met by Morley, a policeman, they were requested to proceed quietly on their way; for that, if they did not, he must take them into custody. One of them then began to scream and moan in so shocking a manner that two other police men, hearing the noise and thinking that it was some old lady who had received some kind of hurt, ran to the spot to render her assistance. The officers, however, still refused to proceed peaceably to their homes, and they were taken to the station-house, where they imme diately found bail, and appeared to answer to the charge before the Magistrates' Court at eleven o'clock the same morning. The Magistrates dismissed the case, after giving the parties a sever© reprimand for their noisy con attet.—Dever chronicle PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK.,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. 6ce.

On Friday an itive , tigati,m was commenced before il r • Carter, Esq., at the Ship Tavern, Walcot-place, Lan" both, respecting the death of an infant, Ann Christina Crowne, aged 16 months, the daughter of one of t l4• chief clerks in Somerset House. Mr. Charles Crowne, the father of the child, examined. He stated that on the 24th of December, h e left home as usua l a t ten o'clock. The deceased chil d was left in the care of Juliana Easter, his servant, Mrs' Crowne having to mee t hi m at Bloomsbury, which she did. in Museum-street, at four o'clock. Upon their re turn home he found the child in the girl's arms, but it had evidently cried very much. The child was trembling in a dreadful manner. His wife took the child from 01 girl, and tried to pacify her, but she could not succeed, and he took her in his arms, the child still trembling violently. He endeavoured to quiet her but could not; He was induced to examine the back part of the child and found it covered with large blisters. The CORONER—Did you ask the girl what she had done to the child ?—I did, of course, but she said sh e had done nothing. Was medical aid called in ?—Yes. Mr. Scott attended first, and afterwards Mr. Howitt, of Apollo-building s ' Walworth, who attended her until sh• died on Mond* And what do you suppose was the cause of the ppPr child's death ?—She has been burnt or scalded ; I do not know which. Mr. Scott, surgeon, stated that he found extensile wounds on the child, but whether caused by burning 0r scalding he could not tell. Mr. Howitt was afterwar' called in, and to his care the case was left. The CORONER asked if Mr. Howitt was in attendanc e ' and being answered in the negative, stated that he could f not conclude a case such as this without the evidence 0 Mrs. Crowne as well as Mr. Howitt. _ The girl was then asked what explanation she had to give, but she said nothing. The CORONER—This is a' ver y ser i ous case , an d 1 must adjourn the inquiry. lam quite willing to adjoin it to any time the Jury wish. I must now direct the girl to be taken into custody by the beadle. I have PI ) desire that she be given in charge of the police ; she co' be taken to the workhouse, but on the adjournment dal she must be here, and the beadle must be answerable. , The inquiry was then formally adjourned, and the gir* was placed in custody. , THE MARKETS.-(SATURDAY•J WHITECHAPEL MARKET.
