The arguments were not concluded when we went to press. VICE-CHANCERY.-(TIT DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) The Court was occupied to-day with hearing un opposed petitions and short causes. IN RE SLADE. This was a petition presented under the Fine and Recovery Act, requiring the consent of the Court to become the protector of the petitioner. Certain pro perty had been devised to the petitioner, with remain der to other persons, but the husband of petitioner having been convicted of felony, there was some doubt whether the 24th section of the Act gave a jurisdiction to the Court. The law made the Court of Chancery the protector, in cases where the holder of property was a lunatic, or had been guilty of treason or felony. Husband and wife were joint protectors, and they had not both been guilty of felony. His HONOUR thought there was sufficient autho rity in the Act to constitute the Court protector, in cases where the person, who would otherwise be pro tector, was disqualified by attainder. He would, however, read the Act before he decided the point.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover a sum of money alleged to be due to him for services which he had performed for the union. The plaintiff had sat as assessor, for which he had charged at the rate of five guineas a day. The case went off by the defendants agreeing to pay the plaintiff 1001. Verdict for plaintiff, damages 1001. EXCHEQUER COURT—THIS DAY, CHID!. CON. - ALLEN V. NICHOLSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a baker, at Hoxton, for crimi na l conversation, on the part of the defendant, with his wif e . The damages were laid at 1,0001. • Mr. Platt and Mr. Chambers appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Humphrey and Mr. James for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff carries on his business as a baker, at Agnes-terrace, Hoxton, and the de fendant is a corn-factor, residing at Dockhead. The parties were in the habit of transacting business with one another, and some intercourse consequently took place between them. The wife of the plaintiff was very assiduous in the shop of her husband, and the defendant had thus frequent opportunities of seeing her. An intimacy sprung up between them, which ended in criminal intercourse. The plaintiff, who had heard in the neighbourhood reports injurious to the character of his wife, had procured a promise on the part of the defendant that he should not visit her after the husband's suspicions had thus been awakened. The defendant, after having given this promise, was found with the wife of the plaintiff in a situation which left ro doubt of their criminality. A witness, a young woman of the name of Horton, stated that she had acted as an assistant at, the plain tiff's shop, and he and his wife lived together upon affectionate terms. This witness, however, admitted in cross-examination that Mrs. Allan had complained to her once of ill• treatment, and that her husband had kicked her. A witness of the name of Carter deposed to having received a promise from the defendant that he should not visit the plaintiff's house. Witness had however. seen him there a ft erwar d s. Th e foreman of Mr. Allen stated that the 'plaintiff and his wile had been married for the last twelve or thirteen years, and had three children, of whom the eldest girl was about eight years of age, and the youngest about fuur or five years old. They had lived happily together until within the last eight or nine months, when the plain tiff thought he had reason to complain of the visits of the defendant. Plaintiff once or twice remonstrated with his wife upon the subject, when a violent alterca tion took place between them. No further witnesses were called on the part of the plaintiff, as the criminal intercouse•between his wife and the defendant was admitted on the pleadings. Mr. HUMPHREY then addressed the Jury in miti gation of damages. The Learned Gentleman alluded to the fact, that female witnessei had not been called who might p rove t h at t h e p l a i nt i ff and his wife had always lived upon amicable terms. It appeared on the contrary, that there had been disagreement be - tween them, and he trusted that the Jury would con sider that very slight damages would compensate the loss sustained by the plaintiff. Lord -MUNGER, in addressing the Jnry said, that, although no female relatives had been called who could prove the terms upon which the plaintiff and his wife lived, other witnesses were produced who de posed that they lived happily together, until within the last eight or nine months, when the plaintiff thought he had reason to complain of the visits of the defendant. It was to be expected that some differen ces would then take, place between them. The fact of the criminal intercourse having taken place was not denied by the defendant, who suffered judgment to go by default. It would, therefore, be for the Jury to decide upon the fair and temperate damages to which plaintiff was entitled in the case. • The Jury after deliberating for a few minutes re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 3001. SECONDARIES. -(THIS DAY.) BUGPITT V. MitIICHAND. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for compensation in damages for the seduction of his daughter. The case did not go to the Jury, as the plaintiff suffered a verdict to go against him. Damages 1201. None of the facts of the case were stated in Court. • INSOLVENT COURT—(TINS DAY) IN RE WILLIAM STURGEON. ---LOA N SOCIETIES. The insolvent was principal clerk to the Mendicity Institution, He had become security for a person, since dead, to sevez - al Loan Societies, amongst which the principal was the St. Pancras Equitable Joint stock Company. He attributed his insolvency to the fact of having incurred those liabilities and the con sequent law expenses. An affidavit was put in de posing that he derived no pecuniary benefit from the money thus raised. In reply to the Learned Commissioner, he stated that in consideration of the length of his services the committee of , the Mendicity Institution would allow him to retain 'his situation. The COMMISSIONER said although the insolvent's conduct was inexcusable in incurring those liabilities, yet as he rendered such a clear and straightforward statement, the Mendicity Institution might without violating their duty to the public, retain the insolvent in their employment. He was then ordered to be discharged. IN EE HENRY' JOSEPH TAUSIANT—BILL DISCOUNTING. In this case the insolvent, who appeared to be scarcely morejlan twenty years of age, applied on his petition to be discharged from bill debts to the amount of 1,3001. it appeared that, after having carried on business for some time,-during which he contracted the above liabilities, he was taken into partnership by his father in-law, he being unacquainted with his circumstances. The insolventjhen renewed the bills, and his father in-law, upon these facts coming to his knowledge, dis solved the partnership. He stated that all the money he received foiaccepting these bills waa 135/. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he regretted ex tremely that none of the creditors in this case appeared in opposition. If they did the Court would most as suredly inflict the severest punishment allowed by the provisions of the 76th section of the Act, for the dis graceful recklssness with which he accepted those bills. IN RE JOSEPH FLACK. The insolvent held a situation in the Ordnance De partment, at Norwich. He had been a bankrupt in 1829, and in 1839 passed through this Court. He stated that he had leave of absence for three months during the time he was in prison ; and that he would not 'be allowed again to resume his duties in the Ordnance'-office, without Board. passing the Medical At the reqltest of Mr. WOODRUFFE who appeared for the creditors, the Court awarded 151. a2year to be paid from the insolvent's salary, and ordered his dis charge forth With.

The Secretary of the Friendly Brothers' Society, held in Seeker-street, Clerkenvvell, applied for a war rant against one of their members for embezzlement. The Secretary stated that the funds of the Society ; having been very low, the Committee came to a de termination to take the Standard Theatre, City-road, for one night, and have a benefit in aid of their funds. The benefit was had, but a member embezzled the proceeds of it, and it was for this embezzlement he sought the warrant. CoMBE—Was it a musical or a theatrical per- formance ? The Secretary replied, a theatrical one. Mr. COMBE—Then the Standard Theatre is not licensed for theatrical representations. You have acted illegally by engaging it for such a purpose, and, as you have done so, the Magistrate cannot assist you. The Secretary—We apply for the warrant under the 25th clause of the 10th of George IV., which imposes a penalty of 201. on any member embezzling any portion of the funds. Our law enables us to raise the funds by extraordinary means, when the usual ones fail. Mr. Comm—But your rules will not empower you to pick pockets. When they arc contrary to law, you cannot expect the law will enforce them, or that your complaints will be recognised. I cannot assist you, and I advise you to be very cautious about your benefits in future. John Blond was charged with stealing ten books, value:l/.

Yesterday the business on the river was almost at a stand-still, owing to the dense fog that prevailed both above and below bridge. The small steamers plying between London-bridge and Chelsea were laid up all day. Three of the 'Watermen's steamers left Wool wich early in the morning, but only one found her way through the mist to the Adelphi pier; and it was a work of great peril to bring her under the bridges at all. The others brought up at Greenwich. One of the old Company's steamers left Greenwich in the morning, hut, in trying to make the pier at Wapping she got athwart hawse of a tier of shipping for up wards of an hour, in a very awkward position. The Harlequin stfamer, for Boulogne, and the Belfast, for Calais, left the pool at three o'clock in the morning, and, after many hairbreadth escapes from col lision with other vessels, the former got as fur as Erith, and the other to the Lower Hope, near Gravesend, where they were heard of at four o'clock in the. afternoon. The Wilberforce was advertised to leave her moorings off the Tower at ten o'clock, but it was not until one o'clock in the afternoon when the fug had cleared off a little that she was able to get under way. She reached Gravesend last night, after a long and tedious passage, • and brought up there. The City of Canterbury, Captain Large, for Herne Bay, to the surprise of every person on the river, left London-bridge wharf at nine o'clock, and went down the river item foremost. She was at the Blackwall wharf at one o'clock, and her further progress after that time is unknown. The Ramona, from Yarmouth, which place she left at eleven on Wednes6ay, did not reach London till yesterday afternoon at three, and came up through the fog much better than was ex pected. The Jolliffe, from Calais, came up about the same time, having made her passage in the usual time. 12 hours. The Giraffe, which was to have left Rotter- n at seven on Wednesday morning, had not passed 3ravesend during the day, and it is most probable she is detained on some part of the coast. The Vivid, from Hull, got upon the Gm-ill-ea Sands, near the Nore, on, Wednesday, during a dense sea fog, where shot remained eight hours. She arrived at London-bridge wharf on Wednesday night at nine o'clock. The Royal Adelaide, Captain Allison, left St. Katherine's wharf at five o'clock on Wednesday evening. The fog was then rather heavy, but hopes were entertained by her skilful pilot, Mr. Allen, that she would be enabled to get down to Gravesend, but the fog became so thick on reaching Limehouse, that the pilot determined not to risk the safety of this large steam-ship any longer, and her ancrrr was let go. The Royal Adelaide is bound to Leith, and remains :at Limehouse for the present. The foreign steam-ships Antwerpen, from Antwerp, and the Batavier, from Rotterdam, were both due on Wed nesday at St. Katherine's, and had not arrived there at nine last night, nor was there any probability of their during so during the night. It was reported in the early part of the day that the Antwerpen was ashore on the coast of Holland, but it is right to state the report was not traced to any authentic source. A large ship bound to Sydney, with emigrants and an extensive cargo, was to have been hauled out of the St. Katherine Docks yesterday, but could not proceed, and the only vessel that did get under way from the dock was the Quebec New York packet-ship with the emigrants. She was towed down the river by the City of London steamer, and brought up before reach ing Gravesend. At night the fog was unusually heavy, and there was not a vessel of any description stirring on the river. On inquiry at the offices of the General Steam Navigation Company, it was ascer tamed that five of their first-class steam ships were expected, and that there was no probability of their coining up during the night. There were several col lisions on the river during the day, but none were at tended with serious results. A boatman was drowned off Rotherhithe, in the afternoon, by coming in con tact with a coal brig, while rowing across the stream. OPERATIONS FOR RAISING THE APOLLO AND WATER WlTCll.—Captain Fisher, harbour-master of the port of London, a short time ago received instruc tions to survey, and see how far it was practicable to remove, the hull of the Apollo steam-boat, the pro perty of the General Steam _Navigation Company, and gunk some time since near Grays, on the Essex shore. The examination has now been made prepa ratory to the commencement of operations for raising the vessel, when it was found that as she lay upon hard ground, there would probably be little difficulty in recovering her entire, and without having re course to explosions. From the experience Captain Fisher has had in raising the Vesper and other vessels, he is inclined to think that, with the assistance of the Government lighters, and should the Apollo hold together, the operations will not occupy much time. The vessel contains fifteen large anchors and chain cables, which it will be necessary to raise before attempts are made to remove the hull. The Water Witch, which was sunk soon afterwards near the same place, has also been surveyed, and found in a very weak condition, the timbers in many parts having yielded and become injured by the action of the water. The vessels have obstructed greatly the free navigation of the river at that part. The Cor poration of th e Cit y h ave emp l oye d Captain Fisher in the undertaking, and it has been determined to com mence the wo r k o f ra i s i ng b o th vessels when the weather becomes favourable for the purpose. Marquis Pnuluni, son of the Noble and Gallant High Admiral of the Austrian navy, left Mivart's Hotel yesterday, for Portsmouth, to join the Austrian frigate Bellone, stationed at Spithead. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A young man named Thomas Carter, who ap peared at the bar with a frightful gasp in his head, w s charged with assaulting a police-officer in the station-house. Win. Bight, 87 F, stated that he: was on duty last night in the Strand, when he heard a loud noise, and on proceeding to the sp o t h e f oun d t h e prisoner lying on the pavement, with his head cut and bleeding profusely. He conveyed him to the station-house, and a surgeon was sent for to dress his head. The prisoner then became so violent that five officers were taken from their duty to hold him. He turned round and seized wit ness by the arm with his mouth, and bit his arm com pletely through, nearly taking a piece out. lie was ultimately conveyed to a separate cell. The prisoner in his defence said that he recol lected nothing that happened. He supposed .he was drunk, and fell dawn, and cut his head. Mr. iTAnniNE ordered him to be put back, and he would consider in the course of the day what punish ment to inflict. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY). Wth. Wood, a wretched-looking man, whose rags searcely covered his person, was placed at the bar charged with begging at several houses in Cavendish square this morning. When asked where he belonged to he said that he had come up from Burton-upon-Trent in search of work, and had been in London about seven weeks ; ho bad a little money and a good stock of clothes when he came, hut the first was soon expended, and he had parted with the others by piecemeal, and must now beg, steal, or starve. He only required a little as- sistance to get back to his own place. Mr. LONG thought his a fit case for the attention of the Mendicity Society, and, giving him one of their relief tickets, said that they would examine into his statements, and, if true, relieve him. He then left, expressing his thanks to the Magis trate for his advice and assistance. Robert Harris, a country farmer, whose "fair round belly" was in striking contrast with the appearance of the last prisoner, was charged with being helplessly drunk in the shrubberies of Cambridge-square yes terday evening. The worthy farmer admitted the truth of the state ment, saying that he had come up to see the cattle show, and, meeting there with other agriculturists, had adjourned to a tavern, and after drinking some time, and speaking of the prospects of the country, he had wandered out, and somehow got into the en closed part of the square. He was obliged to the police for the trouble they had taken, and would pay them anything in moderation for the same. He was fined 55., and seemed astonished that he had got off so easily. IRELAND. DEANERY OF ST. PATRICK. DUBLIN, DEC. 7.—This case will have the decision of the Court pronounced to-day. MURDER OF MR. SCULLY—MEETING OF THE MAGISTRATES OF TIPPERARY. The Tipperary Constitution contains the following report of this meeting:-- ' On Friday last a meeting of Magistrates was held at the Court-house, Cashel, for the purpose of taking steps for the apprehension of the assassins; and, from an early hour, numbsrs of the gentry were to be seen repairing to the place of ifitOng. At half-past twelve-o'clock ' on the motion of th e Hon. C. O'CALLAGIIAN, the Earl of Glengall was called to the chair. Ills LORDSHIP then proceeded to address the meeting as follows :—Gentlemen,' I, as one of those who felt it.their duty to attend at the house of lii! • feacle, after the late lamentable catastrophe—the murder of Mr. Scully—and, in accordance with the feelings of the other gentry assembled, considered that no time should be lost in calling together a portion of our brother Magistrates, in order that we should con • suit what were the fit and proper steps to be taken upon this sad occasion, to express our horror at it, and to de.. vise the best means of apprehending and bringing to conviction the assassins. No one more sincerely de plores the diabolical and atrocious deed which has lately occurred in the South Riding of our county than I do. A brother Magistrate, in the prime of manhood, possessing an independent fortune, well educated, moving in - the most respectable society, has been singled out and has fallen a victim to the hand of the assassin. Gentlemen, it is lamentable indeed .to reflect upon this dreadful tragedy. .We all recol lect how short a time has elapsed since an attempt was made upon the life of Mr. Scully, and how seriously he was wounded within the walls of his own very house; and it now strikes me forcibly, that there must have existed -a deep-laid plot, and a con spiracy almost unparalleled, whether we consider , the fiendish atrocity with which it dispatched its victim, or the . p erseverance w i t h w hi c h i t l urked after lit; until an opportune moment arrived for the perpetration of a murder as cruel, unrelent ing, and ferocious as any that has ever taken place in this county. After alluding to the recent comparative tranquillity in the south riding of the county, his Lordship said : There IS . one subject now to which I would call your most particular attention, and that is to the present Arms Act, and I conceive that we should give our opinions to the Government upon that very important subject.—(lleac, hear.) It is well known to 3-ou all, that the unfortunate and various crimes which have been perpetrated in this county have been done through the - instrumentality of the possession of firearms by the lower orders. The Go • vernment had prepared a Bill last session, but from the late period in which it was completed, even if it had been brought forward, it could not have been passed. If your opinions are in accordance with mine upon this subject so important to tri all, I think you will coincide in the prayer of a memorial which I have drawn up relative to the registering of arms, &c. I feel.l. would not be discharging the entire of my duty, if I did not advert to another point in question. I should consider my self wanting in moral courage, were I to pass it by, feeling, as I do, its importance and necessity. You have, Gentlemen, all read the various outrageous attacks which have been made of late upon the land lords of this county by a portion of our Press. I am aware of the abuse that will, in all probability, follow my observations; but I treat with the most stoical contempt unmerited abuse. It affects me no more than does the passing breeze. I allude alone to a portion of our Press. No one respects or values more highly than Ido the liberty of the Press. Am I sur prised at the murder of Mr. Scully (continued the Noble Lord) ? No; my only astonishment is that other gentlemen have not fallen also. When we read these calumnious and ferocious attacks made each week upon the - landlords by a-portion of the Press—when we know that the peasantry, an easily excited class, see those publications, and read them with avidity— can we wonder that, should a landlord exercise the least control over his, property, such should be consi dered a hardship by the tenantry ? Are no improve ments to take place ? Is 'pauperism t o b e ever l ast i ng ? I know that i n a lmost all case s w h ere tenants hve ny be a en , removedlargyei—frroemmiliannerrlsatoeud those r emove d . Somer gentry h ave liberally— gentlemen have actually re-purchased their estates. Yet, however generously a landlord may act, still such landlord is held up to the people as a criminal__ no matter what sacrifices he has made—and ven geance is called down on his devoted head.—(Hear, hear.) I consider that the writers, and those who disseminate such unfounded calumnies, are neither more nor less than ciders and abbettors of assassina tion.

"Major PRIESXLEY.---M y Lord and Gentlemen, - I beg to say that I f ee l assured the present Government will pay the deepest a t tention to anything emanating from so influenti a l a b ody; and, for my own part, nothing will afford me greater pleasure, and I am ' e e st c arli nO sh its tranquillity .—( hear.) iet7Z-operating with the Magistrates s sl t i a r t e u t may add thana dd t ffl y c i e n r connected their effr l t i s i t t i o l pthreesceoevne it ofs "The memorial m e a x en t ld eLl it s ro i i l was was also the reward then signed by all present, as " A friend stated th a t th e Scully family would giv e 1,0001: towards the reward, " The meeting then separated." ATTACK ON A CLERGYMAN.—.A. shot was fired a few days since at the door of Kilfitmore glebe, the residence of the Rev. Richard Catay. That gentle man, getting out of bed, and going to the window at the time, observed three armed men walking on the road near the house. The firing of a shot at the glebe-house was pregnant with signification, for a notice was found next morning lying on the window sill, signed " Captain Starlight," and threatening to visit his body with lead, his house with fire, and his cattle with destruction, and all because lie had dared to dismiss an unfaithful steward.—Nenagh'Ouardian BIRTII.—At 49, Pa rliament -street, this morning, the lady of Edward T.

GENERAL ANNUITY AND ENDOWMENT ASSOCIA noN.:—The annual general meeting of this Associa tion was held yesterday at th e London Tavern, f or the purpose of receiving the Dir ec t or ' s R e port for the year. Mr. Parkin in the Chair. The Report stated that the Company was in a most flourishing con dition, and that the present capital of the Association was 152,0001. Some discussion then arose as to the re port of the Actuaries being then laid before the meet ing. The Chairman stated that the Committee had received the Report, but as it had not been examined, he thought it would be better not at present to but meeting would b.! called for t h e purpdse.

Mr. Rudduck was re-elected a Director of the Association, and the auditors were also re-elected. From the statement of the accounts it appeared that 136 members had been admitted durin g the present year, and that 46 members had been excluded for non-payment. The sum paid by them was 6,0001., which fell to the Association. The total number of members admitted was 2,879, and the number of an nuities 5,367. .... , Tuesday last, as the workmen were emp l oye d i n ELL.—IIU MA N SIE ULETONS P OUND .—O n lowering the turnpike road opposite the Dale Inn, near Whitwell, they discovered two skel e t ons near t o each other, and about nine inches in th e b e d o f th e gravel.

MEETING OF PAWNBROKERS. A numerous meeting of the pawnbrokers of Lon don was held last night, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge -street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of having laid be fore. them a Report of the Parliamentary Committee, appointed some y ears ago , t o wa t c h over t h e i nterests of the trade. Mr. Neate presided. The Report de tailed at some length the Parliamentary services of the Committee, which appeared to have been essen tially beneficial to the pawnbrokers generally. The Committee, at the conclusion, recommended that as so much good had arisen to the trade from local exer tions, a general association of the pawnbrokers of Great Britain should be formed, for the purpose of 1 obtaining full and particular information concerning all measures, legislative or otherwise, affecting pawn brokers, whether of a local or general nature,. to pro mote any li•hich might appear to have a beneficial tendency, and vigorously to oppose all such as might • appear oppressive or injurious. Also, to collect correct reports of all decisions affecting pawnbrokers, and copies of all such cases and opi nions as might have been obtained by local societies or individuals upon the laws relating to the trade, to. gether with a ll suc h ot h er i nformation as can be oly tained, for mutual advice, assistance, and protection and to promote measures, legislative or otherwise, for the suppression of the daily increasing class ol persons who, under the denomination of" dolly shops; " wee pawns," and "little goes," most grievously (in the language of the Report) oppress those who deal with them, and at the same time inflict the greatest possible injury upon the legitimate pawnbrokers, both by depriving them of their business and, by continual delinquency, prejudicing their reputation. The Re port having been adopted, several addresses were de livered upon the great advantage which must neces sarily flow from a general association of the trade. The Parliamentary Committee was then dissolved, and a Provisional Committee formed, for the purpose of drawing up rules and regulations to form the basis of such an association. The meeting then adjourned NIGHT SIGNALS FOR THE LON DON STEAM-PACKETS AT BOULOGNE. We are indebted to Captain Tune, of the steam packet City of Boulogne, for the following copy of night signals for the guidance of the London steamers frequenting Boulogne : " When the Captains think their vessels within sight of the harbour (Boulogne), they will burn a blue light, and hoist a light at the foremast head. "It there is sufficient water for the immediate en trance of the steamer into the harbour, the only signal to be made from the pier -bead will be a blue light at the east pier -head, and a red lantern, to indicate the same. " Should a steamer come in sight before there is , sufficient water for her to enter the harbour, a rocket will be sent up from the pier -head in answer to her signal ; and a blue light will be shown, with the red lantern as above, when the tide is high enough for her to enter. "Should a steamer come in the roads after the tide, and when the water is too low for her, or when env other impediment may prevent her entrance into the harbour, the rockets will be sent up successively from the pier, as a signal to keep off. " After the above signal, should a boat be required to land passengers or dispatches, the steamer to send up a rocket, and to show another light under the bowsprit. " And should a boat be allowed to from to the steamer, a rocket will be thrown up the pier head." DAY SIGNALS. " A blue flag shown at the head of the East Pier, will indicate th a t th e s t eam e r may come i nto t h e har bour, shaping her course according to the signals made to her by inclining the staff. " Should:" steamer come too late for the tide, or should there be any other impediment to her entrance, no signal will be made to her. " Should a boat be required on board to convey passengers on shore, the packets will hoist a flag half mast at the fore. "N.B. The above signals are intended to enable the packets to avail themselves of the whole of the time during which there is a sufficient depth of water for. them at Boulogne, before the usual tide lights are shown, and after they have been hauled down ; for while these have been exhibited no other signals arc necessary." DEATH OF A FEMALE AND HER INFANT FROM WANT.—Yesterday afternoon a lengthened investiga tion took place at the Paul's Head, Crispen-street, Spitalfields, before Mr. Baker, Coroner, on view of the bodies of Catherine Leary, 26 years of age, and of Mary Leary, her infant child, five days old. Mrs. Maria Ridley, midwife to the Royal Maternity Society, stated, she attended the deceased (who was the wife of a labourer) in her confinement. She was in a state of great destitution, and could not provide the usual necessaries for herself and her child. Witness re commended her to apply to the parish for relief, but she did not do so. No one attended to her after her confinement, and the child died on Wednesday morn ing last. Mr. Atrell, the relieving-officer of Spital fields, upon hearing of the case on Monday, imme• diately supplied the deceased woman with proper necessaries, but she died on Wednesday morning. Mr. Byles, surgeon, stated that the deceased was labouring under disease of the lungs. She told witness she had had no nurse since her confinement, nor any nourishment until she had been supplied ,by Mr. Atrell. Witness gave her some medicine with arrow root and wine, and attended her until she died. The husband of the deceased did not pay much attention to her. I am of opinion the child died from want of proper attention and cleanliness, and the mother from diseased lungs. The Jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of " Natural death in both cases, accelerated by want and destitution." NUMEROUS DEATHS AT THE LONDON HOSPITAL. At a late hour last night Mr. Baker held no fewer than four inquests at the London Hospital. The first was on the body of Elias Levi, 75 years of age, em ployed at the Jewish Synagogue of the late Chief Rabbi, Dr. Herschel, situated at No. 5, Bury-court, St. Mary-axe, who, whilst in the act of descending the stairs on the night of Monday last, fell from the top to the bottom, pitching upon his head. He was taken up in an insensible state, and conveyed to the above hospital, where he died yesterday morning. The second was on the body of William Cruickshank, of No. 8, Back Church-lane. In this case the deceased was in the act of lifting a kettle from the fire, when his pinafore caught. He was severely burnt all over his body, and expired in a short time after his admission to •the hospital. The third was upon William Duck, 78 years of age. The deceased was employed in unloading a timber waggon at Plaistow, in Essex, on the 13th of October last, when a large log of timber fell upon him and fractured his left leg in a shocking manner. He lingered until Wednesday last, N't hen he died at the above hospital. The last Was on the body of a man named Joseph Roberts, a shipwright, 30 years of age, in the employ of Mr. Filcher, shipbuilder, Liniehouse. On Monday, about twelve o'clock at night, the deceased was about to proceed to his work on the Clyde steamer, then lying in the dry dock, when he missed his footing and fell to the bottom of the dock, a depth of thirty feet. When discovered he was quite insensible,.an d his skull fractured. He died soon after his admission to the hospital. The house-surgeon stated that in all the above cases death had been caused by the effects of the injuries received, and the jury in each case re turned a verdict of "Accidental death." STREET one of the wandering minstrels, who earn a precarious livelihood by vocalising in our public thoroughfares, was pursuing her wonted calling , on Wednesday week, a young urchin thus addressed her at the close of a Very elaborate shake :—" I say, missus, do you sell that by the yard r The woman, highly incensed, thus retorted :—" If you don't move on, you young rascal, I'll give you a foot for nothing."

INFANTINE lOURNING.---" No sch oo l t o -d ay !no school to day !" exclaimed a merry yoUng master, "with a shining morning face," skipping gaily into the play ground,"'no school to-day—master's dead, and he's going to be buried." BARCELONA. __- According to accounts received from this place at Paris, dated the 2d instant, the Regent was still at head-quarters, and nothing but an uncon di t i onal sur render would satisfy him. He had notified this to the insurgents, and at the same time announced, that if his demand was not complied with in the course of that evening, fhe bombardment would commence in the morning of the 3d. The gates of Barcelona were Opened, by an ora s sr of the Junta of the Government of the 30th ult., for l all persons except armed men and soldiers. The vessel, the Formislable, has been set afloat by the Gassende and Etna steamers. The. Rodney has also arrived. Both have furnished ammunition to the fort of Montjuich. In Barcelona there are many proposals of despair. Some would hoist the tri-colour flag on all the forts ; others are for proclaiming Christina Regent. But there seems no alternative hut submission. The drums beat to arms and the tocsin rings. They are going to re-arm the corps Francs and make a desperate resistance. It is said that the Regent has signified his determination to bombard irrevocably, if the town did not surrender by ten o'clock to-morrow morning. We find in the Dcbats of Wednesday the following summary of the proceedings towars:s the close of the rebellion : " The last days of the insurrection were very stormy, but with Out giving rise to any great excesses. In proportion as the crisis of submission became im minent from the impossibility of sustaining a siege without expo s i ng th e town to utter dest ruction, the parties began to load each other with recrimiriations and reciprocal reproaches of having lost the esmse which they pretended to defend. The .21foderats 1 08, who were opposed only to the military despotism alai to the introduction of English cotton goods, accused the Republicans of having alarmed the rest of Spain by their revolutionary principles, and thereby caused Barcelona to be left to bear the brunt alone. The Republicans retorted that all had been lost entirely and solely from want of decision, and that a republic should have been at once proclaimed, upon which the Catalonians would have all immediately rallied under its banner, instead of remaining shut up within their walls. The popular Junta had dispersed ; the new Junta, composed of wi se an d oons id erate men, with th e Bishop among them, had no other ta s k to perform th an t o o b ta i n the best terms for their fellow-citizens. It commenced its negotiations with "Van Haien on the 27th, and by judiciously temporis ing kept off for four days the bombardment with which he threatened the town. His first stipulation was the disarmament of the paid free corps, Ni hick formed the main strength of the insurrection. They, however, refused to disband, and insisted upon a formal amnesty guaranteed by France through her resident Consul. It may be at once believed to be impossible for Van Halen to suffer the intervention of any foreign Power in his own political conduct, and that the Consul himself must feel that he had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of any other Go vernment. All that was in his power he did—he re ceived on board the steam-boats, and placed under the protection of the flag of France, the fugitives of all parties; first, those who fled before the victorious in surgents, and next themselves, when they, in their turn, wished to esca p e from well-merited vengeance. At the same time he gave shelter to 1,200 Frenchmen either on board the King's ships cr on board mer chantmen, hired at the expense of the State ; he like wise saved 1,200 Barcelonese. The Regent, on his arrival, ,confirmed the order to dissolve the paid Na tional Guards. As soon as his arrival was known, these seditious bodies could not remain on foot any longer. But whilst the pacific Junta wasted its time in efforts to persuade them -to yield, the Republicans, in their ranks, endeavoured to prolong a state of revolt which had then degenerated to a vain and noisy meet ing. The J u nt a h a d one o f th e Republican leaders an rested and imprisoned in the Atarazanas, which is occupied at present by the National Guard, who have submitted. Nevertheless the national troops had not entirely dissolved themselves, for out of six battalions three were obstinate enough to resist, and impede the negotiations of the Junta. The Junta repaired to the Regent on the morning of November 30, and pro posed as conditions—' That the new garrison should be composed of regiments different from those who had come into sanguinary collision with the people, in order to avoid the causes of animosity which might produce new quarrels ; that the institution of the Na tional Guard should he maintained in the town; that the Captain-General should be changed on account of his arbitrary proceedings against the Barcelonese, and as having causes of animosity 'Against the inhabitants ; that the political chief s h oo also be changed ; that General Zurbano, odious to persons of every line of politics on account of his brutal despotism, should not enter into the town ; and, lastly, that no person should be prosecuted for his conduct during the troubles.' The Junta also asked for guarantees in favour of the cotton manufacture, against the introduction of English tissues, the principal caure of discontent in Catalonia, and of disturbance at Barcelona. The Re gent listened gravely and patiently to the enumera tion of these conditions, and replied in moderate terms, but without consenting to one of them The law,' he said, of which he was the organ and the defender, could not admit of any conditions with illegality and revolt; the battalions of factious insurgents must im mediately lay down their arms, and the National Guard evacuate the citadel and the forts ; it was for the guilty to er if they could, from the weight of the law, a not for the law to guarantee their safety; no Government could allow the choice or the exclusion of its public functionaries or gene rals to be dictated to it; and, lastly, as to the ma nufactures alluded to, the Cortes were to deliberate on the interests confided to it, and he should him self, at a later period, consider what he should deem useful for the welfare of Catalonia.' The Regent terminated his reply, by repeating the threat of mili tary execution and bombardment. The first thing he did on his arrival was to visit the fort Montjuich, and inspect the batteries placed in the town. The even ing before the Regent's arrival, an unexpected cir cumstance had caused much irritation amongst the people, and gave the Republicans a pretext for in some degre - i re-animating the angry feeling of the people. This was the sudden appearance of the English line of-battle ship the Formidable. Immediately it was rumoured that this vessel was loaded with Congreve rockets, to burn the town with all its manufactories ; and when afterwards they beheld this colosSus go aground at the mouth of thel s i s lob a r n e nothing more than a powerles s and a sluggish and be n7a i s n s e , they declared that Providence punished the cruel mission on which she was sent, and the imprecations which had greeted her arrival suddenly changed into transports of joy. Thus, the English, in their turn, were loaded with the curses of the Barcelonese. In the, preceding insurrection all the invectives had been against France. The presence of the Formidable must not, however, be regarded as extraordinary, when we know that the French man-of-war the Jemappe, of one hundred guns, had been at once sent from Toulon for the same destination. She was retarded lq the southerly winds, which favoured the progress of the Formidable coming from the south. The steamers and packets dispatched from Toulon and Marseilles were also delayed by stress of weather. The French Consul, who. was anxious to place his countrymen in safety, was obliged to freight seven merch;nt vessels, into which not only they, but such emigrants as thought fit to present themselves, were received. Our own letters are dated the evening of November 30, and the packet which brought them to Marseilles left Barcelona, Dec. 1, at five in the morning. They state that during the whole of the evening of the 30th there was considerable agitation amongst the paid National Guards, a part of whom still refused to lay down their arms. The news of some of them having shut themselves up in one of the forts with provisions and ammuniticn, threatening to hold out to the last extremity, is confirmed; the place where they estab lished themselves was Pio Fort. It was not sup pose( ILthat they would persist in their wild project of resistance. It was rather feared that those men for the tn6st part exceedingly dangerous would perpetrate excesses, the only ones committed d ur i ng t h e insur rection. Violence, or even pillage, was dreaded from them for the next day, as these men might reckon on their obscurity to escape from the pursuit of justice. The apprehensions which were caused by this band .appeared likely to hasten the entrance of the Regent's troops, which the Junta and the rest of the population would be obliged to call on to re-establish security ; so that the Republicans, after having so dangerously compromised Barcelona against the Government, would snatch away from the town its last chance-- that of obtaining some conditions which might, per haps, be granted, if it were not forced by the threaten ing attitude of the mutineers to yield precipitately and at discretion." SMITHFIELD CATTLE-SHOW..-alw sale of the fat stock progressed rapidly yesterday, and few animals remained unsold last evening. The ready communi cation now afforded by railway to all parts of the kingdom, has had its effect in a striking manner in their disposal. Many purchases have been made by butchers from remote country towns, and some of the oxen will return to the localities in which they were fed. • Two of the finest in the exhibition have been purchased by Mr. Newton, a cattle-salesman, of Jer sey, to which island they will be shipped from South ampton on Saturday next. In pursuance of a resolu tion of the Committee, passed at, the last annual a silver medal w ill meeting, be awarded to the butcher who expends the largest sum of money in the purchase of animals from the exhibition yard. The birth of a son and heir to the Noble Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Lyttelton, was cele brated by the tenantry and tradesmen of his Lordshir by a dinner at the Lyttelton Arms Inn, Hagley, on Monday fortnight, and the gentlemen of the neigh bourtiood also commemorated the auspicious event by dining together yesterday week at the same house. — Worcester Chronicle. MONEY MARKET and GiTYNEWS. FROM THE MORZCING PAPER S OR THIS DAY. CITY, T HIJRBDAY EVENING. POST.--The exultation of the'New Y or k money dealers at the arrival o f a small pbrtion of gold from Liverpool, may well be excused. It could be very conveniently spared, and there can be no question that it was sorely needed as a means of propping up, for a season longer, the rott en an d t otter i ng banks scattered over the face of the Republic. The Philadelphia papers, in speaking of the strange position of Pennsylvania, in relation to money mat ters, the authorities of the State being adverse to the issue of small bank notes redeemable in specie, mention as one of the consequecces of that policy, that so pressed are the people in the country for currency, that many of them not only make use of the " re!ief notes," but even cut them in pieces; find employ thetif as substitutes for half dollars. The Afontreal Gazette, of the 15th of November, states that, notwithstanding the receipt of advices from England, to the effect that Canada beef and pork were rapidly getting into consumption at from 3:td. to 4id. per lb., realising to the retailer ,5535. 4d. to 7:55. sterling per barrel on the first and least favourable samples, the Montreal market, though votive for prime and prime mess of both descriptions, bad not adysoced materially in the rates. Shippers had been deterred from making large purchases, by the unusually ligh charge for tonnage which prevailed. The quantity sent to England between Oct. 28 and Nov. 10, inclu sive, was 2,815 barrels of pssk, and 636 barrels of beef. • TIMES.—The commercial letters from Madrid : adverting to the affair of Barcelona, consider its issue highly favourable to the trading interests of this country, inasmuch as the insurrection is to be as cribed chiefly to French intrigue, in conjunction with parties who benefit by the contraband system, and who appear therein to have made their last great effort. fhe Spanish Govetnment are said to possess proofs of a mealitated outbreak in the course of last year, but which was frustrated by the mismanagement of the parties concerned in it, among whom there appeart to have been all along a great want of concert and judicious arrangements. Hence it is hoped among the merchants, that they may inow see the treaty of commerce, so much desired, make a business-like progress, and the Ministry take courage to put it into shape. Nothing but decisive conduct, however, en their part and that of the Regent is likely finally to dispose of it; and the question is, whether they will venture to execute such a treaty of them selves, committing the country with England on the issue, and trust to their i n fl uence w i t h congress to obtain an indemnity afterwards. This is 'deemed the only safpapurse, as the Cortes, who would resist the measure in' session, were likely to be reconciled to the act when done by the advantages sure to follow it to the finance and the credit of the country generally. One of the arrangements talked of as likely to form part of any commercial treaty with England is the rather delicate one of allowing the duty on cottons to be collected in this country—an admirable protection against smuggling, but calculated, unless very adroitly managed, to wound the pride of Spain, With this is connected the further project of making a ,portion of the proceeds of such duties available for the payment of interest to the English bondholders of Spain. Al together, whatever turn affairs may take in these re spects, there is something like a gleam of hope derived from them of a change for the better, especially if Es, partero should maintain himself in power, upon which everything depends. By the New York papers received to-clay, it ape pears that an Act palsed by Congress last session for the armed occupation of the uncultivated portions of Florida, is beginning to attract the attention of the northern States of the Union, and surprise is ex pressed that it was not more noticed at an earlier . period. The object of the Act was to encourage emigration to Florida from the north, and it . seems to have the political purpose of increasing northern influence by forming a population which should not have the same interest with the landholders and cotton-growers of the south. A "quarter section" (160 acres) of land is given to every emigrant, but he is to plant it for four successive years, before he re ceives the deed conveying it from the Governments For his wife and every adult son he receives an addi tional piece of land of the like dimensions. The Bill as it was originally drawn by Mr. Burton lent each emi grant a musket and cartridge-box with ammunition and rations for a single year, with the dZisign of ren dering the project as useful as possible to the poorer classes, who would have been thus provided with arms and sufficient sustenance while raisng their first crop. To save expense -to the Government, the deed was not to be given till the arms were returned. The clauses allowing a grant of arms to the emigrants have since been removed, which those who are most in favour of the project seem to regret, as they consider the esta blishment of an armed population would be the first step towards the removal of the Indians from the ter ritory. There are not, it is supposed, more than 100 Indian warriors now in Florida, but even these, it is thought, could not easily be removed by a • regular military force, but only as the Indians of the 'Western States, by the steady increase of armed white labour.. ers. East Florida, when its resources are developed, is not expected to become a great cotton-growing country, but to be chiefly fitted for the culti va ti on o f tobacco and fruit. As the produce of the soil will. therefore be principally of a kind in which free labour is profitably employed, the Anti-slavery party look upon the scheme with considerable favour. CHRONICLE.—The movements in Jamaica, evincing the consent of the agriculturists of that colony to allow the Government to deal with the sugar duties, attracts much interest in the produce markets. The Jamaica House of Assembly could not be mistaken in their interpretation of. Lord Stanley's dispatch regarding the sugar dutiet ? We put that question because doubts have been &pressed upon tliesu li bj o e u c s t e b:: f Assembly forwarded a mem or i a l one of the newspapers thi s morn ing. The to her Majesty last spring, against the admission of foreign sugar to the home consumption, which Lord Stanley laid before the Queen, and in communicating the fact to the Jamaica planters,' his Lordship re quested the Governor of this island to draw their at tention to the new tariff. "As far as it relates to the important articles of sugar and coffee," and to the cir cumstance that in giving relief to the labouring classes, by a reduction of the duties "on coffee," the interests of the planters had not been disre garded. His Lordship then explains the causes which had influenced the Government in not reducing the duties on sugar when they reduced those on cof fee, but holds out no reason to expect that those causes are to be longer relied on. The Jamaica agricul turists took the hint at once, and although, we have not yet received the papers, with a report of the de bate which took place in the House of Assembly on the subject, we have got the result, whieh was the appointment of a Committee of their number to me morialise her Majesty —not, as formerly, to maintain the prohibitory duties presently levied on slave grown produce—but only such a differential duty; on admit ting it for home consumption, as shall afford due pro tection to the IVest India planters. Under theth cir cumstances, it would seem impossible for the Govern ment to refuse to admit foreign sugars into the home consumption next session of Parliament. Th e r e is no other rational interpretation open to Lord Stan ley's dispatch. He says, in answer to their memorial, " You have asked the Queen to keep up the prohibi tion on foreign sugars. I have laid your request be fore her Majesty, but I bid you attend to what we have done under the new tariff in regard to coffee. We have lowered the duty on that article of consump tion to relieve the labouring classes, although it be tainted with slavery, because that is an old established sin, which it is no harm to continue. We have dill.• culty, however, in making new vices and in giving fresh encouragement to slavery. But mind you, that difficulty too may be got over, and therefore you had better look sharp and prepare for the coming change: That is the reading which the Jamaica planters gave words; and coupl e d w to it l h iis h L i o s r e d u s i h o i g pis um lab3 o - n rin 3 t i h r. of n fl u n s e kisson.B policy, and read some hi of his suright. ccessors, it seem s pretty clear that they m SLR N.—With no particular activity in the market, we continue to notice the same steadiness in the value of he public securities.
