SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—It is an old saying, that oae half the world knows not how the other half lives ; but this preverb will begin to lose its force if Sir Robert Peel succeeds in bringing into operation the inquisitorial machinery for collecting his income tax. It might appear prima facie a good thing that the real means cif all men should be known, in order to prevent the keeping up of false appearances ; but the fact is, the proposed measure , will vexatiou s ly a n d needlessly lay bare the concerns of many who have no im proper motive for secresy, while it-will enable those whose desire it is to deceive the world by the ap pearance of ample means, to effect their object with greater facility than hitherto. A few additional pounds devoted to the income tax will be soon repaid in the additional credit to be gained by the reputation of being rich ; and instead of their being more en couragement to straightforwardness under the pro posed new order of things, there will be every in . ducement held out to the pradtice of trickery. It does not follow that all who are desirous of keep ing the true state of their affairs to themselves have a ' dishonest motive for doing so ; and there is nothing reprehensible in a disinclination that the world should be made aware of the contracted means on which many, by the frequent practice of acts of self-denial, contrive to preserve an appearance of competence. If the out cry against the inquisitorial nature of the income tax were confined to the sort of persons who desire to profit at the expense ofothers by seeming richer than they are, there might be something in the argument that the public will have an opportunity of learning the real circumstances of one another; but this is not the case, and the hardship of the inquisition will be most severely felt by those whose disinclination to it will arise from a laudable desire to preserve respect towards themselves, without doing an injury to any one. The English people are fioted for their disposition to keep themselves, as the . saying is, "to themselves ;" and the same cha racteristic that prompts them to repel intrusion on their society, induces them to dislike inquiry into their means of living—not because they wish to de ceive, but On account of an innate repugnance they feel to being made the subjects of impertinent curiosity. An income tax is, therefore, peculiarly opposed to the national tastes and habits of Englishmen ; nor will the proposition of the Premier, to give an appeal to special com missioners, at all prevent the evil it professes to remedy. in the days of the former income tax it was professed that secresy should be preserved • but those who remember the ob nox i ous i mpost will be able to say how far that profession was realised. It is within the knowledge of-. the writer of these re marks, that a nobleman, since in the possession of considerable - wealth, who had come somewhat unex pectedly to his title, and had been forced to abandon a profession of w hi c h he had commenced the pursuit, re turned five hundred a year as the amount of his in come. Being a peer, the assessors conceived that eight hundred a year could not be too low a sum to rate him at ; but the nobleman in question had truly stated the extent of his means, and having proved the fact to be as he had represented it, the tax was reduced accordingly. In spite;of the secresy to which the assessors were bound, this fact was known and talked about in the volunteer regiment of which his lordship was the colonel; and should the income tax come again into operation, such will be the sort of delicacy that will be observed by the " special commis sioners," or some of the numerous' " parties" that they will be empowered to bring before them. STANDARD.—A thin meeting, whether a meet absolutely or comparatively thin—of the great ward of Farringdon Without does not testify much in fa vour of the whisper ; for a thin meeting held for a great and populous district must be a thin expression. of opinion—the whisper " attenuates doubly as its sphere expands ;" and—certain it is that all the meet ings called to oppose the income tax have been very, very thin. A Manchester correspondent has, indeed, favoured us with a handbill, from which we see that " the Leaguers " have at length proceeded to the dangerous length of taking the affair into their own hands, as far •as regards the metropolis of mill owners. How far they may succeed in helping " the whisper of a faction " in Lancashire it would be rash to conjecture ; but beyond the limits of the factory land, the movement of the League must have an influence the most favourable to the Ministerial plan. The agriculturists and the colonial interest, and all others committed to our national industry, must see at a glance, what the Leaguers see already, or they would not act as they are acting, that there is nothing between an *come tax and a recourse to free trade in its wildest and most ruinous form, including, of course, an abo lition of the Corn-laws, with a substituted fixed ditty, imposed for the sake of revenue—that is, in the strict and only true sense of the phrase, a bread temx. Lord John Russell, indeed, when he offered his last year's budget, said just the same thing. We have little fear that the agriculturists will be led by such seducers as the Leaguemen to help out " the whisper." There is, besides, a consideration to which all classes of the people will be awakened, when they find the Lea guers coming forward to oppose an income tax:. Who have rendered such a tax necessary, or at least who are they who have rendered necessary this or some other extraordinary coup de finace Are they not the late Ministers who have imposed the necessity—the Ministry supported against the public opinion of England, first by Mr. O'Con nell, next by the League—and which sold itself for "such support successively to the one and the other ? This is a consideration' which must not be lost sight 0:* for a moment. Mr. O'Connell and the League are as fairly responsible for the difficulties inherited by the present Cabinet, as the poor creatures whom they retained in office to do their will, and who created , those difficulties under such circumstances as no men I ever before drew like embarrassments upon a nation BANK OF ENGLAND.

(Cuntinued from our_Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) GREAT MARLOW. Thomas Corby, jun., was then objected to by the counsel for the sitting Member, and struck off the list of -voters. Objection was then taken on bAalf_ of the sitting rnetray.?rs to the vote of George Brown. Tat - , objection was nut disposed of when the Commit t. e rose. WEYMOUTH AND MELCO3IBE REGIS. On the conclusion of the lengthy arguments, tho room was cleared, and the Committee decided that the vote of James Maine was a bad one. The next vote proceeded with was that of James Kerridze, which wa: objected to by Mr. Cockburn, on the part of the petitioLers, on the ground that he had bribed anotlwr p, J. Lovell, an ostler, at the king's Head, Weymotitli, was called as a witness, and he dep ised, that a voter. tried Strickland, was offered money by KerrAze if he 4.iuld poll ; that he was subsequently offered a sovereign if he would poll again in the name of another than, John Bartlett, but that Strickland refused, urging, that he " hattdone one good deed already." The voter, Strickland. was also called, and stated ex prei.sly, that he was offered mon.y to vote the second time, but he could not recollect the amount ;' he did not 'Monk- that any particular am :unt was offered. He denied that any money was ofrerA for going to the poll the tirst time'. lle did not voc the second time, having • refused, tremor° "it would not do." George Bailey, a messenger, engaged at the pollin:r booth,. state ', that he did not see Strickland poll. It aprx_stPed that he was sent out of the way by a nick, v bile the vote was polled. CocKutTaN contended, that the law was clear that a, - person bribing another lost his own vote, and adduced vAr:otts legal authorities defining the offence ofcorrupting and bribing, showing :hat it was immat er i a l w h et h er the party bribed voted or not. This question did not now arise for the first time, but twos.? before one of the most memorable committees that ever sat, the first Ipswich Committee, on the vote of Arthur Bott Cook, which was struck off on .the same objection as the present. He con tende 1 that the present vote came strictly within the de cision,given on this point, and recapitulated th e f acts us stated by the witnesses, in order to support his objec tion. He pointed out that no statute on the subject'of bribery made it necessary that any specific sum should be offered ; the mere offer of any reward, however vague,' was quite sufficient to constitute the offence. If the evidence - of the first witness was credited, the fact of !;ribery by Kerrid ge was fully established, as it - was of sa, importance whether the over of reward was made to tt bona fide or not. Mr. TALBOT said a more miserable case was ne ver brought before r , Committee ; the question was never raised in the present form before the Ingwich Committee ; the decisi on of that th itteA-had , not been followed up, and there" liadCheervirehen lwen a decision against it. The offer of a by a voter was a high misdemeanour, but h a d not b een hold to disqualify the party offering it from voti ng. l i e went over the depositions of the witnesses, pointin g out some discrepancies between them. The case, at most, amounted only to an offer of money, not by any means pliaved; by a voter to another man not a voter, to pers on _ toe a third person. He contended that there was no decision taking away the franchise from the voter, making such an offer. Mr. C , ICE.BURN replied, arguing that, from all the au thorities on the subject, it lutist be inferred, that a person directly or indirectly influencing a voter, not only those votes became illegal, but the party influencing was disqua lified from exercising his franchise. The Committee decided that the vote of Kerridge was a bad vote. The'vote of George Mace was objected to on the same ground; having accompanied Kerridge during the trans actim With Strickland. The objection was supported by the evidence of the same witness, Lovell ; the others were not called. The arguments of Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Talbot on the evidence of this witness were to the same effect as in the preceding case. Mr. Talbot contended that no evidence had been given as to the time when Mace gave his vote, and he might have polled before he made the criminal offer, and therefore that the validity of his vote would not be affected by an act done subsequently to its being given. The Committee decided that the vote of George Mace was a bad one. 'The result of the day's proceedings leaves the sitting Members in a minority of three, all three of the Objec tions by the petiti oners having been sustained. WIGAN. The arguments of Counsel for and against the vote of Edward Ackroyd engaged the Committee to the time of its rising, shortly after five o'clock. The objection was not then disposed of.

L OLE. The same. — Damages 964 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, IM2 office was finally closed in January, 1841. Did not think I was doing wrong when I went to the Board. I thought the Directors were all honourable men. I was not startled at the large liabilities I signed my name to, as I was assured by the defendant there was plenty of funds in the establishment. Certainly did not consider there was anything wrong when . I saw myself described as a Director, with Esquire attached to my name. 'The de • fendant is my brother-in-law. I placed some reliance on what he said. All the annuities were paid up to the quarter previous to the dissolution of the Company. Re-examined--I insured my• life in the concern for 1001., and allowed discount for present payment, and I received 901. I got the money immediately after I in surde. The defedant gave me the amount. Three cheques for 500/. each were here put in. They were signed " William Hole," and made payable to Mr. Williams. One cheque was on the Bank of England, and the others on the Western Bank of Scotland. The witness said, he understood from the defendant, chat that money was sent to Scotland, to release Mr. Williams, who had been arrested there by some of the annuitants. • By Mr. Baron GURNEY—The concern was broken up through want of funds ; did not know whether there were any assets when it was dissolved. Wm. Edward Taylor said, I was one of the Directors, and was appointed when the Association was first esta blished ' • previous to th a t per i o d . I was a j ourneyman locksmith and bell•hanger, and was in the employ of a Mr. Greathead. The defendant • married my wife's sister. I was applied to by the de fendant and Knowles to become a Director ; was in the habit of attending at the board on Fridays. Ire ceived 2s 6d. for each attendance, for a year and a half. I afterwards received a salary of 801. per annum, though I only attended as a director to sign my name to policies. Knowles was Chairman of the Directors. I was desired by the defendant to sign my name. I signed all docu ments laid before me. It was at first arranged • that I should sign for three years, and Mr. Williams was then to take my place, but at the expiration of that time, he said I might as well continue signing as it was all the same. Mr. PLATT--Did you receive any directions with re spect to your dress and appearance ? Witness—Oh, yes, We were to dress well, and were ordered to wear rings and jewellery. Mr. PLATT—Did you do so ? Witness—Yes, and the defendant gave us rings to wear. A paper in the defendant's handwriting was here read, upon which was a memorandum, dated September 15, 1839, to the following effect :—" Taylor fined for not having on his ring." The witness said they were afterwards fined for a similar offence. Cross-examined—Many fines were levied and exacted. Was ordered by the defendant to sign the documents. Mr. Baron GURNEY observed that the witness and his colleague appeared to be the " directed," instead of the directors. Be-examined—Knowles and Williams acted as se cretaries after the defendant left the concern. I had no suspicion that anything was wrong. I placed great reli ance on the defendant. Williams, Hole, Hastier, and the defendant, used to be in a private room together, except on board days. Joseph Packer, a law-stationer, stated that he was em • ployed to engross the deed of the Company, which was dated 26th September, 1111371 saw the first nine names of the list of shai ()holders signed on that day. He was afterwards desired to obtain other signatures to it ; he did so during the vacation in 1840. He applied to persons indiscriminately to put their signatures to it, and it remained at his office for that purpose. He was employed by Knowles and Williams; recollected being at the Company's office one morning when the de fendant and his wife was there. The post had just been delivered, and he saw the defendant open some letters and take some Bank notes from them; lie made some observation to his wife ; believed the words were— " Look here." He then put the notes into his pocket and went away with his wife. Whenever he got any person to sign the deed, a number of shares was always placed opposite their names. Cross•examined—Knowles married his (witness's)wife's sister. Knowles employed him to engross the deed. The deed creating the Company was then read, by which it appeared that the defendant was appointed secretary, and, ex officio, a director for life ; it further stated that he was to be allowed, besides his salary, 70 shares ; and his wife, as a provision for her, and for absolute use and benefit, was to be allowed 700 shares, Another letter, of which the following is a copy, was then put in. " France, 9th January, 1841. " Knowles,—Thou art a scoundrel, and thy son no better. I shall print and publish all the bye-laws and proceedings which relate to any transactions which I had with the Company, .and expose your villainy to Mackenzie, and others; and I give you and your lying rascal of a b he should dare to publish any slander relative to my character, I shall instruct my solicitor to prosecute you, you d—d perjured scoundrel —you base wretch—swear against your own hand-writing-:--what, swear you never borrowed my money of me for the office —Oh ! wicked wretch, I hare your signature, and my solicitor has seen it—base—base—base—hang thyself with your friend Williams.—Truth. " WM. HOLE: " P.S. I havelleard you have again plundered the office —Ah ! how many times wretch. " Address to Mr. Thos. Knowles, 44, Cambridge Ter race, Paddington, London." This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. CHAMBERS then addressed the Jury for the defendant, and in a long speech tried to make the best of a hopeless case. Baron GURNEY addressed the Jury, and said 'the plaintiff in this action sought to recover frotn the defen dant a sum of money of which he had, as was alleged, deprived her by fraud, and if they believed that the money was obtained . by fraud by defendant or by others, acting in concert and conspiracy with him, the plaintiff was entitled to a ver dict. The Jury would look at all the circumstances of the case, and, upon these circumstances, it would be for them to decide whether or not fraud had been proved. It appeared this Association was established in 1836 ; that it professed to have a capital of a million ; that names were put to the prospectus issued to the public, describing persons as " Esquires," some of whom were not in exi s tence, and others were persons of low station, who were paid small sums weekly for signing their names. It also appeared that the defendant was the ori ginal promoter of the undertaking, and that he had the entire management of it. The question for the Jury was, whether this was really a bona fide Company, established for the purposes of an ordinary insurance association, or whether it was not a scheme, by unprincipled persons, to get possession of the money of all those whom those prospectuses lured to invest it with them, and then apply it to their own use. In the former case they would find a verdict for the defendant ; but if they th oug h t t h at the g r ound he suggcsted had been proved, then they would return a verdict for the plaintiff: The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 9001. STANLEY v. HOLE. This was an action of a similar character, against the same defendant, and upon the application of Mr. Cham bers another Jury was empanelled to try the cause. The sum sought to be recovered was 160/. Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury, and said that the charge against the defendant was that he had got up a sham insurance society, offering great advantages to the public, and by this means he had induced the plaintiff to invest the sum in question in the concern, and the whole of it had been lost. The hooks were then produced, and it appeared that the plaintiff had paid 1601. to the West Middlesex Assu rance Company, and that she had been guaranteed an annuity of 251. per annum for that sum. Mr. G. E. Williams was then called.. He deposed that he signed the deed of settlement of the Company, but he never paid any thing upon the shares. Be and his father wited as solicitr , rs to the Company. Hole, the defendant, first prepared the .draft of the deed creating the Association. He came to the office of witness's father, :n Bart street, Bloomsbury, in 1836, and he said that several gentlemen intended to forma now Insurance Company, and he wished to know if his father would have any objection to act as solicitor to the concern, and he replied that he had not ; and soon afterwards, -he told him that the gentleman had agreed to ap point him as solicitor, and witness's i ame was joined with his father's. In 1539 the defendant holes asked him if lie would like to be secretary, and he then enquired of him whether all the names to the prospectus were bone fide parties, and he said they were. ('his took place at Hastings, and Hole pointed out a large mansion, near that town, as the residence of. Mr. Alexander, tine of the names mentioned in the prospec ins ; and witness reluctantly accepted the situation, and Acted as secretary. After this witness told Hole that Mr. Hunter %%ished to know the addresses of the par ties mentioned in the prospectus, and he burst into a laugh, and said that it was all concocted by aim and . Knowles ; •and, upon this, witness resigned his sit uat i on . He remembered a quarrel takin place between Hall and Knowles, and the latter accuse la - f placing the greater part of the money that was •eccived in the a ff a i r t o hi s own private account, instead of placing it to the credit of the Company. Cross-examined —His father signed the deed f orm i ng the Company, a n d ac ti ons h a d been brought against him.' His father had purchased property since his con nexion with the defendant, and this had been sold and given up, when he found it was such a rascally business. His illther had now been abroad for nine months. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Dama!,,res 160/.. deducting the amount paid for the annuity before the closing of the establishment, but adding thereto the in terest from the period when the money was first placed in the defendant's hands, which reduced the amount to 143/. 110PKIN3 V.

MADAME D'ARDLAY'S DIARY AND LETTERS.— This fascinating work has advanced in interest and popu larity in each succeeding portion that has been published, each volume presenting the reader with a new series of public characters, and a new condition of society and manners. In the third and forthcoming volume, which will appear in a few days, the charming and accomplished writer arrives at that period of her varied and brilliant career, r% hich placed her in immediate attendance on the person o fQueen Charlotte, and brought her into an intimate personal acquaintance with every individual of the Royal Family, every one of whom, from the King and Queen themselves on the throne and in the closet, to the infant Princess Amelia in her nursery robes, are, as we understand, placed before us precisely, " in their habits as they lived." The dates of this third volume—viz., 1786 and 1787, give us the period of that remarkable event in the life of George 111., his attempted assassina tion by Margaret Nicholson, the minutest details of hich are, we understand, given from the very lips of the King himself, as related by him to the Queen on the night of the day when the event occurred, BrAN v. HOLE. The same. Damages 4001. The verdicts having been recorded in all these case. Mr. PLATT applied for speedy execution. Baron GURNEY granted the application. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. - Herbert Godfrey, the policeman who on Saturday charged an elderly woman, named Sarah Lewis, marine store dealer, with having received stolen goods, and was on Monday charged by her with having, in conjunction with another man, robbed her of a cloak and a time piece, was broUght up, and, at the request of Mr. Hobler, junior; who appeared for the prosecutor, remanded till this day, when the extraordinary investigation will be closed, by the commitment of the prisoner, after the exa mination of some important witnesses. Reynblds, who was accompanied by the prisoner into Mrs. *Lewis's house, has not yet been found ; and Mr. Woutner, the solicitor for the prisoner, complained, on the part of his client, that active measures had not been adopted for taking that person into custody•, although the prisoner had expressed the strongest wish to be confronted with Mr. Hobler, junior, observed, that the inactivity of the police upOn this occasion, if any actually existed, ought to be complained of to the Commissioners, and not to the Magistrates, who had 'nothing whatever to do with the force. Two girls, named Sarah Shaddoch and Mary Tighe, each of them eighteen years old, were charged with having robbed one of the poor old inmates of Bishopsgate workhouse. The two prisoners hare been, almost from their birth, living in the workhouse, in which they frequently distin guished themselves by breaking windows and pelting the orderly residents with bread, appeared, upon being put to the bar, as quiet as mice. The assistant matron stated that the prisoners had just returned to the workhouse from Bridewell, where they had been confined for smashing windows, and upon reaching their old quarters stole the pocket of an old pauper, in which were contained the poor woman's savings, amounting to threepence halfpenny. Mr. Booker, one of the parochial officers, said that the prisoners, when they took a fancy to' change from the workhouse to Bridewell, committed violence of some kind, and thus contrived to have a little variety to their taste, and they had been for a length of time ungovern able in the former place. Alderman GIBBS said he should try what a little extra discipline would do towards correcting the girls, and sentenced each of them N be confined two months in Bridewell at hard labour, and to be locked up every other alternate week during that period in a solitary cell. The Alderman said that he should take very par ticular care that the diet of the prisoners should be as low as would be consistent with the preservation of their health.—The prisoners were then committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET: Seven females, well-dressed, and five of whom stated themselves to be married women, were brought up on warrants issued against them on the' application of the parochial authorities of St. James's; Westminster, under the provisions of the Act of Parliament, 25th Geo. IL, for keeping " disorderly houses, or acting or assisting therein." As in several cases recently brought before this Court, a professional adviser appeared on behalf of the defendants. The identity of the relative parties having been proved, they were ordered to find sureties to answer and plead to indictments which will, in the course of law, be preferred against them. The nuisance complained of is stated to be of a most revolting charac ter. Its locality it confined, in the present proceedings, to John's -court, Golden- square, and the immediate neighbourhood. The defendants readily obtained the sureties required, and were liberated: Cornelius M'Carty and James Murphy, sturdy young Irishmen, were charged with vagrancy. Wm. Horsford, one of the constables belonging to the Mendicity Society stated, that about half-past six o'clock on Thursday evening he saw the prisoners in company together in St. James's-square, beg of several ladies and gentlemen, and receive alms—their plan was to follow up the persons they solicited until they ob tained something or else abuse them. When they met with unprotected females their importunity was in timidating ; the prisoner M'Carty actually followed two gentlemen to whom he was evidently a perfect stranger into the hall of one of the club houses. They were both old offenders, and had been committed from different Police Courts for similar offences. They resisted vio lently on.being taken into custody. Mr. Hlunwics. Said he was determined to purge the streets of this description of sturdy beggars' and com mitted each of the defendants to one month's imprison ment, and ordered a record of their convictions to be re turned to the Sessions. Horsford stated that just at night fall on Thursday evening lie counted no less than 25 young sturdy beg gars in Pall-mall, within 14 minutes. Mary Smith, a young woman, was charged with being concerned with a gang of other females, two of whom stand committed for trial from this Court at the Central Criminal Court, for robberies effected by the means of false or skeleton keys, in different lodging-houses in the neighbourhood of Seven Dials. The gang contrived to ascertain when the occupant of an apartment was absent, and availed themselves of the opportunity of entering and plundering the room of every portable article they could meet with, great facility t:• commit this species of robbery being offered by the street-doors in this neigh bourhood being continually left open. The prisoner was fully committed on two separate charges, she having been proved to have disposed of the stolen property immediately after the robberies had taken place. MONEY MARKET And CITY NEW S. SUN.—Consols were extremely firm during the whole of yesterday, and although several sales were made, prices advanced to, and closed at, 90 to 904 f or M oney, an d 9 0 4 to 901 for the Account. Exchequer Bills 31 to 33 prem. The rise in the Spanish Three per Ceut. Stock has continued and reached 25, but the quotation has since declined to 241 244. The nominal value of the Five per Cent. Active Stock not hav4tg been materially af fected by these operations, it is a necessary conclusion, that the present is one of the wild speculations which are sometimes entered into by the dealers in Foreign Bonds, with the hope of inducing the unwary to follow them, and take the stock off their hands at prices still higher. That this rise has no legitimate foun dation is evident. when their price is considered —namely, 24i 4. A slight improvement took place also in the rates of most other Foreign Bonds —Brazilian being 664 674 ex div. ; Dutch Two-and. a-Half per Cents., 52 4, the Five per Cents.. 100 4 ex div. ; Por tuguese Five per Cent., 36 4, the Three per Cents., 21 4-; Colombian, 37 1-3 d; and Mexican, 401 4 ex div. A fair amount of business was transacted in Railway Shares, London and Birmingham being 644 86 ; Great Western, 27 28, and the Half Shares, 14 1 prem. 11ir mingbrun and Gloucester, 56 513 • South Western 59 60 Gosport, 59 60 ; North Midland, 69 70, the New Shares, 344 351 ; and Brighton, which slightly improved, 361 4 per share. South Eastern and Dover, 234 23 ; and Eastern Counties, 14 134 discount. Some variation occured in the quotations or the Fo reign Exchanges. Amsterdam improved to 12 5, Rot terdam to 12 51, Hatnburgh to 13 124, 13 13, Frankfort 1511, Lisbon to 524 521, Madrid 364. Antwerp receded to 12 Paris 25f. 80c. 25f. 85c., do. Short 25f. 53c. 25f. 60c., and Leghorn 30 024 30 05. Vienna remained at . 9 52 9 53, and Trieste at 9 531 9 54. It must be. noticed that the Spaniards are turning their attention to the development to the minerals of that' country. During the month of February permission to work no less than eleven new mines was applied for, two of which were of Quicksilver. This metal has long formed the source of a considerable portion of the revenue of the kingdom, being .a Government monopoly ; and it is to 'be regretted that an article so necessary in the various branches of industry, should be placed as it is at present. The effect of the contract now in force has been to raise the price upwards of 150 per cent. upon what it was before it wits granted, and the result is, that far less has been consumed both in this and in other countries. It is to be expected that at its termination sonic arrange. ment more advantageous to us will be entered into. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUN TING .APPOINTMENTS.

The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the Returns made in the Week ending March 29, 1842, is 395. 21d. per Cwt.,; exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the Importation thereof into Great Britain. LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Apra RE JOHN HARLOW. The insolvent formerly carried on business as a tobacconist and snuff manufacturer at No. 7. Leicester square, and subsequently at the house No. 16, in the same place, and his actual debts for value received amounted to about 7501. Ills petition to be discharged was supported by Messrs, Cooke and Woodruffe, and opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on behalf of Messrs. Poole. It appeared, from a verylengthened investigation, that in the year 1833, the insolvent took the house No. 7, Leicester-square, from a person na me d W arren , at the rate of 2001. per annum, the upper part being, according to the insolyent's deposition, at the time, and up to the present moment, let out as gambling rooms. Sir Jacob Astley and Colonel Quin had a mortgage on the entire premises, which was sold to the opposing creditors, and the insolvent, leaving in the year 1835, after paying up all his his rent, a mesne process was brought against several persons, who acted as landlords and trustees over the premises, by the Messrs. Poole, for some alleged act of trespass, and the insolvent included among the defendants, when a verdict was given in favour a the plaintiffs, and he thus became liable for his share of the costs and damages. Being indebted to Mr. Fry, tobacconist and snuff-manufacturer, of Smithfield-bars, in a large amount, and also to several other creditors, he exe cuted a deed and warrant of attorney in their favour, for the purpose of making his property available to those whom he considered to be bona fide creditors, to the exclusion:of the Messrs. Poole, to whom he did not consider himself morally, al though he might be legally indebted. Mr. NICHOLLS having urged that the insolvent in point of law was guilty of an undue preference towards certain of his creditors to the exclusion of others, The Learned CommrssioNEa said he could see nothing in the case to induce him to a remand, and he should, therefore, order the insolvent to be discharged forthwith. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Kingston, April 1. (Before Baron GURNEY and Common Juries.) NAPPER V. HOLE.—THE WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY SWINDLE.—CURIOUS DISCLOSURES. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant as the originator and principal in the esta blishment of the West Middlesex Assurance Association to recover from him the stun of 9001., which he had paid to that Company for an annuity of 761. 10s., and of which sum, it was alleged, that he had been defrauded by the defendant, and also that the Association had been merely got up for the purposes of fraud. Mr. Platt and Mr. Gurney were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. Mr. PLATT, in opening the case, observed th a t i n th e year 1836 the defend an t set on foot an establishment, which was called the West Middlesex Assurance Association, and from which the public were to derive great advantages. Prospectuses, of a most alluring description, were circulated, and, in the course of a short time, sums, to a very considerable amount, were deposited for the pnrchase of annuities. The prospec tuses set forth that the capital of the Company was one million, which had been raised by the sale of 20.000 shares, at 501. each ; and the names of fifteen persons, all bearing the title of esquires, were duly advertised as Directors ; and it was further announced that the bankers were—the Bank of England, the Bank of Ire land, and the Western Bank of Scotland. For about four years the concern appeared to be going on prosperously, but at last the bubble burst, and it was then ascertained that the whole was a fraudulent scheme, concocted for the purpose of entrapping the unwary and plundering them of all their property. It would be distinctly shown, that of the fifteen Directors announced in the pro qectuseS, ten or twelve of the names were entirely ficti tious, and the others were persons in a very humble station in life ; that not only was there no capital what ever, but that none of the shares alleged to have been taken had ever been paid fur. The learned Counsel, after alluding to the alluring character of the prospectuses, concluled by saying that it was evident the defendant at the time he commenced the undertaking, was aware that it would not be profitable—that he embarked in it for the purpose of defrauding the unwary—that the whole scheme was founded in fraud, and for the express pur pose of applying to his own use the money invested with the alleged Company. The following witnesses were then called. Mr. 11. Harvey said, I was clerk in the office of the West Middlesex Assurance Association from the month of October, 1837, till its close in January, 1841. The offices were in Baker-street, Portman-square ; the pro spectuses produced were issued from the office ; they contain the names of fifteen persons as directors, amongst them - was that of Mr. Henry Alexander ; never saw a gentleman of that name at the office, neither did I ever see more than three or four of the persons named as directors. The book produced (a ledger con taining an account of the annuities granted) was kept by me ; it contains afi account of the money received. The defendant generally received the money, and always received money paid for annuities. It was part of the defendant's duty to examine the entries in the book. The defendant was secretary and treasurer from the commencement of the concern, till the end of September, 1839. He informed me, in October of that year, that he h a d res i gne d hi s o ffi ce. He attended the board, and also signed policies. The board met every Friday. There was another clerk in the office, when I first %%el - it there. The defendant acted as manager. and I always received my instructions from him. When the establishment was broken up there were a great many persons applying fur the money. Mr. CrosS, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, stated that he had endeavoured to subpoena Mr. Williams, senior, solicitor, of Hart-street, Bioomsbury, whose name was inserted in the newspapers as one of the directors, and who was also solicitor to the Company, but was unable to do so, as he was at present, and had for some time, been abroad Mr. Win. Wilson raid, I was one of the Directors of the Company in question. When I first became con nected whh it, I kept school in the Edgeware-road. I solicited employment as a clerk in the office. The de fendant said I should he - in the office, and he at onct placed my name in the list of Directors. It was subse quently arranged that I should receive 53 per week for tn 3 services. I was only required to attend one day in the week, that was on board-day, for the purpose of signing policies. I used to Sign all the policies and annuity deeds which were laid before me. A number of shares were allotted to me when I was appointed a Director, but I never paid anything for them. The Company never had any capital that I MU aware of. I continued to act as Director till the breaking up of the concern. The defendant was secretary and manager nearly the whole of the time. I signed the died of partnership previous - to the opening of the office. That was in 1836. Amongst the Directors are the names of Henry Alex ander, Esq., Bedford, Esq., R. Ayre, Esq., hope, Esq., —Fergusson, Esq. Ido not know any such per sons. Never saw them at the Board, or at any of thc meetings. There are also the names of William Wilson, Esq., and Thomas P. Price, Esq. on the list. lum thr person first alluded to as W. Wilson, Esq., and T. P. Price, Esq., is a youth about sixteen years of age, who was employed in the office as writing clerk and to go on errands. A certain number of shares were allotted to each of us, which of course we never paid for. The de fendant ala ays paid me me my salary; he also paid another persons employed in the concern : it was agreed that 1 was to have ss. a week for signing the policies, &c. fur the first year, and 10s. a week afterwards. After I had bee!, a Director for two year 3 I was promoted to the . situation of clerk, at 75/. per . annum, but still retained my seat at the board. For my last year's services I re ceived 300/. ; but that was after the defendant left the concern. I received the letter produced from the de fendant ; it is in his handwriting. The following letter war then read : " April 23, 1840. " SlR—During the time of my Secretaryship, the fol lowing sums were paid me :—Knowles, 4,040/. ; Mr. ' Williams, 4,038/. ss. ; Ditto, as Solicitor for office bu,i -ne55,1,857/.45.;Mr.H01e,7,357/.; Ditto, on retiring,lo,ooCl in manner following—Houses in Gloucester-place, Sur rey-street, and Maids Hill ; to Hole, thefreeholds 8,900/. Total to Hole, 26,257/. I have the cheques to prove the sums I have paid to Knowles and Williams ; therefore whoever said I had mare than this is a liar, like unto Peter, who denied his master, and afterwards went and wept ; or like unto Judas, who betrqed his master, and went afterwards and hanged himself. All that I have said or written I can prove. "Yours, &c., " W. HOLE." Cross-examined- - I keep a small school now in the neighbourhood of Hoxton. I gave up my school, but 1 went to the Assurance Company as clerk. I received altogether about 700/. during the four years I was in the concern. I insured say life for 1001. in the office. The MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London 4Vew Price Current of April 1.) SUGAR.-Arrivals of Sugar from Jamaica being daily expected, together with the large parcels of Mauritius and Bengal that have been brought Orward, has caused the market for West India Tiluscovadoes Sugar to be in a dull state this week, and for grocery as well as for refining purposes the demand has been limited. To-day both Grocers and Refiners operated with much caution, and the prices accepted were rather lower, mak ing the decline for the week 6d, and in some cases Is per cwt, and the total sales 680 hhds and trcs. The dull ness that exists in the market may, in a great measure, be ascribed to the large supply of Bengal and Mauri tius Sugar. REFINED.-The transactions in Refined Sugar have been upon a small scale this week, the grocers purchasing only ample for their immediate wants ; the refiners have been desirous to realise, and have submitted to a reduc tion on last week's rates of is to is 6d per cwt-low brown lumps at 76 to 775, good and fine 78s to 80s, Stan dard Lumps 81s to 81 6d. liamburith loaves and Tittlers ord •79s to 81s, mid 82s to 83s, good 84s to 89s, fine 90s to 975, double loaves 98s to 110 s pt.r cwt.
