A slight diminution is reported in the demand for discount accommodation, but at present the rates ccafinue firm, and as preparations are now in progress for the liquidation of speculative accounts at the Stock Exchange, and also for the bills which arrive at matztrity on the 4th proximo, no imme diate relaxation is anticipated. A further sum of £48,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but 40,000 sove reigns were withdrawn. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited an advance in the rates on Amsterdam, Antwerp, hamburg, and Paris. Gold is now five-tenths dearer in London than in Paris, and three-tenths higher than in Ham burg. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Ede and Co., engaged in the Levant trade, the liabilities were stated to be £20,058, and the assets estimated to realise £23,200, exclusive of about £30,000 capi tal in Constantinople. After a brief discussion an adjourn,ment was agreed to until the 15th of April next. The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank have declared a dividend of L 2 10s. per share with a bonus of per share, making together a distribution of 12 per cent. for the year 1860. A call of £5 per share, amounting to £375,000, was due to-day on the Scinde, Punjaub, Railway shares. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market, yester day, continued moderately active, and prices were firm. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, ;' A quiet tone has pervaded the market for Public Securities to-day, but the improvement which took place yesterday afternoon is steadily main tained, Consols being 911 1 for money,. and 911 7 ; for the account. The improvement is attributed to purchases for investment, but speculation is very dull, and the settlement in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares has occupied the chief attention of the dealers and brokers. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 911 13-; Bank Stock remains at 234 ; Exchequer Bills at 6s. dis. ; India 5 per Cents. have improved to 1001; and ditto New Scrip, to 1001 1. Foreign Securities exhibit increased buoyancy but the dealings continue on a limited scale. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 691 to 70 ; ditto 1858, 55 to 551 ; ditto £lOO Bonds are 561; Mexican are firm at 231 24; Chili= at 1021; Russian 3 per Cents. have improved to 601 5 ; Spanish to 491 ; ditto Deferred to 411, and ditto Certificates to 61. The preparations for the liquidation of the half monthly account have occupied the chief attention of the dealers in the Railway Share Market to day. Prices, however, are steady, and, in some instances, show a slight advance on previous rates. North Western, North Eastern (Berwick), South Eastern, and Midland have improved 55., Great Western, Brighton, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; and Eastern Counties, L 1 ; Caledonian declined ss. ; and Bristol and Exeter, £l. in the Foreign and Colonial undertakings the transactions were very limited, quotations, how ever, show an upward tendency. Great Wes tern of Canada improved 55., East Indian 10s., and ald Great Indian PeninsUla Joint Stock Bank and , Miscellaneous Shares have c3ntinued very inactive, without any material alteration in prices.

At the sitting of the court this morning eight of the gen tlemen recently appointed Queen's Counsel were called by the Lord Chancellor, and took their seats within the bar. APPEAL.-JUDGMLNT.-DATIS V. NASSETTEIt. The Lord Chancellor varied the decree of the Vice .Chan cellor Stuart to the effect of declaring the nephews and nieces of the testator, William Lambert "White, whoa died 17th April, 1843, entitled to a pro rata share of the mort gage debt due to Frederick and William on the stripe of lands devised by Frederick, and that there was no sale of the lands. His lordship allowed the appeal without costs on either side, except costs to the trustees, as the bill ought never to have been filed. APPEAL.- JUDGMENT.-11IIYMNEY RAILWAY COMPANY V. TAFF VALE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls. The Lord Chancellor could not discover any reason for disturbing the decision of the Master of the Rolls. His lordship dismissed the appeal with costs. STATE OP TRADE. MANCHESTER, Feb. 26.—The market continues in much the same state of depression as was re ported last week, and the prices of India shirtings and madapollams are about lid. per piece down since then. Lighter fabrics for the same market are cheaper in the same proportion. Printing cloths are even more depressed, and long cloths and T cloths have at length begun to feel the weight of the depression more severely. A very small busi ness has been done, and manufacturers generally are becoming very anxious sellers. It appears that only a portion of the Blackburn weavers resumed work yesterday, and a telegram received here to day states that it is feared even these will go out again to-night, from a misunderstanding among themselves. The yarn market has greatly dis appointed expectations. From the better feeling of the last few days it was thought we should have had prices id. per lb. higher, but buyers would not give it, and spinners have been rather free sellers at Friday's rates. A fair busi ness has been done on these terms, both for home consumption and export. A larger business would have been done, it is thought, but for the fear that money would be dearer. German and Dutch ship pers have been among the buyers of water twist, but India buyers of yarn are only operating where they can do so on easier terms. Telegrams from Calcutta to the 29th of January report very little business, and shirtings lkd. lower than on the 25th, and 4.},d. lower than on the 17th of January. Trade bad in China, and prices nominal. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" The market con tinues in the same depressed state as it has been for the last two weeks. Indeed, so far as India and China goods are concerned, there is, owing to the telegrams received yesterday, even less disposi tion to buy, and prices continue very irregular, but decidedly lower since Tuesday last. There is still a moderate demand for some kinds of long-cloths and T-cloths, and last week's prices are sustained ; but in almost all other descriptions the business is quite insignificant in amount, and prices continue to droop." LEEDS, Feb. 26.—There has been a moderate market for woollen goods in the cloth-halls this morning. Still considerable quietness exists in the trade, and purchases were confined to small parcels of spring and summer goods, with a few lots of ordinary cloths. The weather has rather improved to-day, still it is so cold that winter garments are mostly worn. Hence spring goods are not going very fast into use. With warmer and more genial weather the woollen trade will become more active. Prices continue steady. ROCHDALE, Feb. 25.—The market has been flat to-day, both for wools and flannels. In general wools maintain late prices, but those of skin kinds are a shade easier to buy. Some of the flannel manufacturers are reducing their rate of produe• tion, being unwilling to overstock the market. Except for linscys, which may be bought for less money than they could a month ago, prices of goods remain firm. The slackness in the demand applies to Yorkshire goods, as well as to Lancashire flannel productions.

NE STEAD. 'I his was an appeal from Vice• Chancellor Stuart. The question raised was, 'whether the executors of mortgaged estates under the will of the late Thomas Ridgeway were entitled to recover a portion of the mortgage assets after the administration of his estates. It appeared that for 15 years the mortgage property was unable to pay the interest on the mortgage debt, but afterwards more than was administered. This suit was instituted for the purpose of valuing the assets of the mortgager, in the hands of the legatee under his will. The Vice-Chancellor said that the unadministered assets alone were liable to make good the mortgage debts. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decree of the Vice- Chancellor, and dismissed the appeal withk.mt costs, and directed the deposit to be returned. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) DIFORTANT ADVERTISING CASE.-DARBY V. SMELLIE. This was an action to recover £5 175., for an advertisement inserted 39 times in the Englishman's Review and Home Journal. Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Begbie for the defendant. Mr. Rigby stated that a canvasser called upon the de fendant, in September, 1859, and solicited his advertise ment for the newspaper mentioned. Defendant gave an order in writing for 52 insertions. At defendant's request the insertions were discontinued after they had appeared 39 times ; and upon his neglect to pay the account the pre sent action was brought. Plaintiff was called, and stated that the newspaper ceased to exist in about April, last year. He produced about 28 papers containing the advertisement. At de fendant's request, upon the plea of poverty, the advertise ment was discontißued. Plaintiff called upon defendant, and asked him for £5 175., and defendant offered to pay the amount by 10s. at a time. Mr. Begbie, for defendant, contended that plaintiff had made out no case. Here was a written contract for 52 in sertions, and plaintiff was not in a position to recover until the work was completed. The learned Secondary said, according to the evidence defendant had broken the contract, and not the plaintiff. It had been stated that defendant requested that the inser tion of the advertisement might be discontinued, and that he had promised to pay the amount 10s. at a time. The jury after a short deliberation found for the plaintiff for 28 insertions, £4 4s. The learned Secondary did not certify. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) Henry Fisher was indicted for the manslaughter of his sister. It will be remembered that the prisoner was a private in the Royal Artillery, and the charge against him was that by his neglect he had caused the death of his sister—a lunatic. The.proceedings were instituted by the parochial autho rities of Woolwich. The jury stopped the case, and returned a verdict of not guilty, and the judge ordered the prisoner to be discharged. NEW COURT. The Case of Gandell, who was indicted for fraudulent bankruptcy, occupied this Court the whole day. It was totally uninteresting to the general reader. POLICE 111 7 7 ELLIGENCE—( This Day). .~ ' " INIA.RLBOROITGII •STREET. Il ,„ • DFR4UDING 1 RA.DESMEN.— S YSTEMATIC SWINDLING. --Trio well dressecittey , el , men, .a.m.d Edmond Paul and Carre Were - diarn•ed before Mr. Beadon with obtain ing a quiliatity..of shiifi, linen, cambric handkerchiefs, &c., of the yalue of £l2 145., from Mr. George Parks, hosier, &c., of 44, Fleet-street. Edmond Gregory, assistant to Parles, said—Between three and four yesterday the prisoners came into the shop and selected a quantity of goods, which they ordered to be sent about seven in the even'ng. He took the goods as desired, and asked for Mr. Carre, saying they were for him, and there was £l2 14s. to pay. The servant at the house, 13, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square, took up the parcel, and came down and said Mr. Cerro was not at home, but that he was to call in half an hour. He did not leave, but waited in the hall, and shortly after a person wearing a cape came in, and was soon followed by Mr. Carre. They both went upstairs, and shortly after both went out again, He then asked the servant to go upstairs, and ask for the money or tho goods. She did so, and sent worl down that Mr. Carre had gone out and taken the parcel with him. He then went upstairs and asked Paul who was sitting there for the money or the parcel. He said Mr. Carre had gone to Soho square, and he (witness) went there, but did not find him ; but afterwards did in Oxford market. He asked him for the money, and he said, "Go home, and I'll call'in the morning and pay for them." On asking for the goods he said they were locked up by Mr. Robinson, to whose care the parcel was ordered to be left. Elilattth Lynch, servant at 13, Margaret-street, said that on Monday last a person, who gave the name of Robin eon, toOk apartments at the house on the second floor. The prisoners called the same night to see Mr. Robinson. They also came yesterday morning. The first witness brought a parcel yesterday evening and she took it upstairs, The parcel was directed to "Mr. Carre, care of Mr. Robin son." She Was told by the witness that Ll 2 14s. was to pay She took the paicel upstairs, and Mr. Robinson said that the young - man had better call again, but she said he would wait. She went downstairs, and shortly after s on going up again the first witness asked her to go up and ask for the money, and on doing so Mr. Robinson said, " My friend, Mr. Carre, has been in and gone out again, taking the par cel with him." Barber, 42 G, proved going to the house, 13, Margaret street, and taking the prisoners into custody. Paul said Cerro had taken the parcel away, and that he knew nothing about it. Paul went into a back room and brought out a few pairs of gloves, and said the rest of the goods were at a shop in Oxford-street. He (Barber) then sent for another constable, and while he was gone Paul seized a poker, and threatened that if he did not leave the place he would strike him, but on his pulling out his truncheon he put it down. He then went with the prisoners to the ice shop near the Princess's Theatre, and found the parcel, which had been opened, and had only a few things taken from it (those found at Margaret-street). The keeper of the ice shop said they had been left there by Carre about half an hour before. Inspector Hubbard and Sergeant Silvester said there would be other charges against the prisoners, and they were committed in this case, but will be brought up again next Wednesday. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG THIEF. Henry Windsor, a boy aged 13, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. Thomas Isaac Ball, "mission schoolmaster," of No. 44, Wellclose- square. It appeared that the prisoner entered himself as a pupil at the school on Thursday week last. On the following afternoon, Mr. Ball, left his watch on the mantel shelf in the back school room. Several boys stopped in the school to eat their dinners, and among them was the prisoner, who took advantage of the schoolmaster's absence to run away with the watch. The prisoner was apprehended last night, and he then made a confession that he had stolen the watch and given it to another boy. The prisoner —Yes, we got Bs. for it. Inspector Dendy of the II division, said the watch was sold to a woman. He knew where it was. The father of the prisoner, a drover, said his son was a most incorrigible thief. He had done all he could to re claim him; but all his efforts were fruitless. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said that he believed the prisoner had been in a Reformatory, and escaped, and that he was sure he had been in custody four times, for as many felonies. The prisoner's father said he wished his son to go to sea. Mr. Yardley—Honest boys are wanted for the sea service. It is probable I may send him to the Reforma tory School Ship, Cornwall. He is at present ratuanded until Monday. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMEHITHEATRE.—The an nouncement that Astley's Amphitheatre would be submitted for public sale, at the auction mart, this day drew a crowded attendance of professionals. The auctioneer announced that the theatre was erected in 1841 by Mr. Batty at a cost of £30,000. The property was held at a ground rent of £5OO, and in ten years Mr. Batty had realised no less than £60,000. The first bid was £lO,OOO, which increased slowly to £15,900. Mr. Robins announced the reserved price was 17,000 and no person present being willing to advance 50 guineas over that sum, the property Was bought in by I , lr. Batty.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tres DAT.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. CHURCH RATES. An enormous numberof petitions were presented in op position to Sir John Trelawny's bill. Few proceeded from the Liberal side of the house, the opponents of Church-rates having abstained from encouraging petitions during the present session. PRISONERS IN NAPLES. Mr, E. JAMES gave notice that on Friday he should call the attention of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the case of five gentlemen now in prison in Naples for an alleged military offence, after they had been pardoned by General Garibaldi. CHURCH-RATE ABOLITION BILL. SirJ. TRELAWNY rose to move the second reading of this bill. He said that he had suffered extreme obloquy in consequence of his exertions in reference to Church-rates, but he hoped that in time his opponents would come to a better mind upon this matter. He had endeavoured to obtain a compromise on this question, and wished to settle it, but he had been prevented from doing so by his oppo nents. Besides there was another circumstance which, in his opinion, rendered it a great hardship on Dissenters to be called on to contribute towards the maintenance of an Established Church—namely, that want of uniformity in its doctrines, as was shown by recent events, including the publication of " The Essays and Reviews," which had been thought worthy of being brought before Convocation. He cited the authority of Dr. Lushington to show the objet • tionable character of the existing law as respects church rates. From what had taken place on this subject it was evident they could not stand still and what were they prepared to do ? Would they pass a more stringent law and introduce a uniform measure to apply equally to the whole country, and extend it to such places as Manchester. If they did he believed the result would he that they would hare to increase their estimates and enlarge their prisons. He drew the attention of the hon. members to the state of the Episcopal Church in America which was supported by a small pew rent, to show that the establishment had nothing to fear from the application of the voluntary principle when it was allowed to develope itself fully. He concluded by an earnest appeal to the house to settle this question, and by this mesas set at rest the heart-burning and excitement which this impost caused throughout the country, to an extent of which some hon. members had no idea. Lord FERMOY seconded the motion. He said where there was a majority of Dissenters no church rate was imposed, but the reverse was the case when the majority was on the side of Churchmen, and the inference was that they must either main tain it by compulsory means, or abandon it altogether. In common with other hon. members he had received a circular from the Archdectcon of London, in which the reverend writer placed the question on a most unfair foot- ing, for he said that the abolition of this rate would lead to the admission of Jews and Roman Catholics to offices from which they were originally excluded, to the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords, and to the appropriation by the State of the revenue of the Church of England, Church of Ireland, and Kirk of Scotland. lie referred to the Church in Ireland to prove the absurdity of any danger to the establishment, for that Church was stronger than ever. He deprecated making this question a party cry, and warned hon members oppo site that if they did so they would have to assume the responsibility of more sweeping measures with reference to the Church. Sir W. HEATHCOTE defended the church-rates as a Churchman, and on the ground of constitutional principle. He asserted that it would be a most dangerous precedent, both with reference to the question of right and principle, to adopt a measure of this nature. He contended that the arguments in support of the motion were not logical or in conformity with the dictates of justice. At the same time he would advise his hon. friends who agreed with him in opposition to this bill not to push their principles, in respect to this question, to an extreme limit, but make concession to necessity. He trusted they would consider whether the time had not arrived when they might fairly take steps towards conciliation, and settle a question whose continuance was so much at variance with the best in terests of the Church, and so gratifying to the feelings of Churchmen. He concluded by moving as an amendment that this bill should be read a second time this day six months. Mr. PACKE seconded the amendment, and complained that a return for which he had moved had not been supplied him. If that document had been produced he would have been ina position to show that the Voluntary principle would not do for the maintenance of the Established Church. Mr. MARSH said that, as a Churchman, he deplored very much the agitation which prevailed on this question, which he believed had the effect of keeping from ths, Esta blishment many persons who were partly Dissenters and partly Churchmen. (Hear, hear.) He suggested a compromise based on the recommendation of the Reuse of Lords, namely, that in cases where persons objected to pay the rate, and were summoned to the Ecclesiastical Court, they should not be required to pay it, but should not be permitted to vote on any question affecting the Establishment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER congra tulated the house on the growing feeling in favour of bringing this question to a conclusion. No re verse of opinion had taken place in his mind in reference to this question, and therefore he felt bound to vote against the second reading of this bill. HO strongly denied that there was a genuine feeling in this country against the union of Church and State, and he re ferred to the petitions presented by Dissenters in favour of the maintenance of this rate to show that amongst that body there was not uniformity in opposition to this im post. He contended that the illustration of the noble lord (Fernley) of the Church of Ireland did not apply to the Established Church in this country. He said the question divided itself into two—namely, its application of church rates to rural and to town parishes. In town parishes there were r umbers of persons not in communion with the Church, but the case was entirely altered as regarded rural parishes, for there the majority necessarily belonged to the Established Church. In the former, also, the value of property rapidly increased, while in the country its growth was slow ; and it must be remembered, with regard to the maintenance of the Esta blished Church, that it was a legitimate and well-known charge on land. He contended that it was quite impracti cable to suppose that the fabric of the churches in rural parishes could be maintained by the voluntary principle, the tendency of which would be to secularise the clergy, on whom would devolve the duty of maintaining those fabrics. Those who advocated the introduction of the voluntary principle generally were not aware of the danger that existed in changing the traditional religion or the practices in regard to it that prevailed amongst the people of a nation. He should be happy to see the matter satisfactorily settled, but he would not consent even to such a result effected by a comprimise of a principle. There were 8,000 or 10,000 rural parishes which, if left to the voluntary principle, would be unprovided with church accommoda tion. After some further observation the right hon. gen tleman said he felt bound to record his vote against the second reading of this bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT thought that if the new plan of the right hon. gentleman was to be carried out, he must begin by adopting the bill of the hon. baronet who proposed aboli tion. If they were not prepared to adopt that bill he thought it would be better to let the matter alone altogether. He could assure hon, members that none of the schemes for compromise whichm td thhe he been proposed would satisfy those who Pr motion for abolition, and that if such a m eas ure t°,dtiicl:npeawsshti c House of Comm li Commons it would not allay 0 a existed. (Hear, hear.) This was a s t asion b o l of s upremacy on the part of a large Establishment. The ern in Church of of Eng land was the only one in Christetids. There which the was not long ter of the day appointed the bishop since a Prime Minister who was a Presbyterian, and he had the appointment o f bishops of th e En g lish Church. The presen t Primo Minister had had, it was said, the appoint of half the bishops on the bench, and although many appoint ment be inclined to say that the noble lord was a great statesman, there were few w'ne would contend that he had a ny peculiar fitness to discharge the duties of a divine or ecclesiastic. Adverting to the sale of church livings, the hon. gentleman contended that it was contrary to reason and offensive to the eye of heaven. (The hon. gentleman read some amusing anecdotes in connection with this subject.) He proceeded to speak of the "Essays and Reviews," as showing the divisions which existed in the Church of England. The writers had been denounced as " The Seven Champions of un-Christendom," in a style which, if it was not just, was extremely violent. He con • eluded by assuring the house that the Nonconformists would never rest until they had achieved this victory. Mr. DISRAELI contended that Sir J. Trelawn)'s bill involved an assault upon the independence of the parish and the integrity of the church, He thought the decision the house came to, that it was advisable, totally and unconditionally to abolish church rates, was an unfortunate one, because such a resolution stood in the way of an. im provement of the law. Such was the statement he had lately made to his constituents and neighbours, and it had been made a charge against him that he he had made a speech for party purposes. Such a charge ho denied. The right hon. gentleman defended the Church of England against the attacks of Mr. Bright, and declared the intpntion of his party to maintain its integrity. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the question was of gieat importance whether it was possible to place the Church in the same position with regard to church rates as the Church enjoyed with regard to tithes and landed property. If that could be done he bad no doubt the Church would enjoy a carecr of uninterrupted usefulness. From a continuance of the present contest he could not believe that any advantage would arise, and he believed that the sooner church rates were abolished the better. (Cheers.) Mr. WALPOLE expressed his regret that the moderate measure which had been offered by Mr. Hubbard for secu ring a compromise had not been accepted, and thus an end put to the agitation. The house divided— For the motion Against it Majority l5 The bill was read a second time. LAW OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES BILL. This bill passed through committee. The house adjourned at a quarter to six. FLOGGING IN THE 211311 AND NAVY. Last night a crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark was held in Taylor's South London Repository, St. George's-road, near the Elephant and Castle, for the purpose of petitioning Parlia ment to do away with the disgraceful and degrad ing practice of flogging in the army and navy, as one unworthy of a Christian community. Mr. Lavard, M.P., in the absence of Mr. C. Buxton, M.P : , was called to the chair amidst the most en thusiastic cheering. Th e c hairman in opening the-business said it was urged by the members of the Army and Navy Club that it was impossible to abolish the lash, or they would have the whole army and navy in a state of mutiny ; hut that was the old story. At one time it was said that if the services of the privates were mentioned in the despatches it would destroy discipline; but he should like to know what would have been their condition in the Crimea had it not been for the pri vates. He had the honour of being in the Crimea, and had seen wl_at the privates had done there, and had it not been for the exertions of the privates at the battle of Inkerman the British army must have been driven into the sea. Then why should there be a distinction between the officer and the private ? " What was good for the goose was good for the gander" was an old proverb, and therefore, if flog ging was good for the private it was good for the officer. But he contended there was no necessity for flogging at all. In the French army it would not be submitted to, and the only other armies in which it was retained were those of Austria and Russia. Even in India they did not dare to flog the Sepoy, and yet they flogged the British soldier and sailor. The hon. member here displayed the naval and military " cat," which excited a feeling of disgust, and he said he hoped that the time was not far distant when such disgusting things could only be seen in the British Museum, which was the only proper place for them. He said it was no use to petition parliament to do away with flog ging unless they took up the subject with a determination, and if they did so he had no doubt that the voice of the people would be heard and respected, and that they would rot dare to con tinue a punishment which was opposed to the best feelings of human nature. (Hear.) Mr. M'Beeth moved " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the abolition of flogging would be a great benefit to the army and navy of this country, and hopes that measures will be adopted by the legislature to cause that system to be at once and for ever abolished." Dr. Murdock seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously, as was another in favour of the formation of local societies to obtain the abolition of flogging in the army and navy. It was also agreed. that petitions should be presented to Parliament with the same object. ATTEMPT _ED BURGLARY.-TEMPO RARY CAPTURE OF 50 THIEVES. Shortly before two o'clock yesterday morning three men were detected by a policeman in the act of attempting a burglary at the house of Mr. Alfred Turner, in Johnson-street, Queen's-road, Smedley, Cheetham. The policeman was near the house when he heard a noise at the back. 'He went quietly to the spot, and saw three men, two of whom were in the act of cutting open the cellar window. He made a sudden and unexpected descent upon them, and whilst he was struggling with the first he could catch, the other two came to their companion's assistance, and knocked the policeman down, besides tearing his clothes. Of course the thieves made, their escape immediately, leaving behind them a shoemaker's knife which they had been using. The officer, however, has a a pretty good recollection of their appearance, and they may yet be captured. Consdquent "upon the above attempt, and in order, if po=sible, to find the rascals, the police of the B division, in which Smedley is situ ated, "ran in," as the term is, or tem porarily apprehended, last evening, all the known thieves who were met with in the public streets on that division. The result was the cap ture of no less than fifty well-known thieves, seventeen of whom are returned con victs. They were all lodged in the Livesey street Police Station, and underwent the scrutiny of the detective and other police officers of the city, and of several gentlemen who want to make the further acquaintance of one or two men who have recently been their uninvited midnight guests. The motety crowd was divided into groups of four or five, and then placed in adjoining cells ; and the coarse language of some, the reckless laughter or whistling of others, and the protestations of innocence on the part of the many, created a noise which might have been mistaken for a mixed ool lection of birds and wild beasts. One thief, an ex pert, and quite " an exquisite" in his way, ventured to complain of the conduct of the police, and asserted that it was quite beyond his comprehension what it all meant. This nest of thieves and burglars is, ere now (except one or two who may be identified), let loose again upon society. There are, however, three other divisions, where a similar surprise on the part of the police might be .productive of even more sport. The sum total of thieves, burglars, and returned convicts located permanently in Man chester is therefore enormous ; and what is worse, is the fact that instead of diminishing, they will doubtless be greatly increased next winter, by the return of a large number of convicts from penal servitude about this time next year. FAILURE IN THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 26.—The failure of Messrs. Beesley and Farmer, of the District Ironworks, Smethwick, near this town, was announced to-day. A petition has been filed under the Private Arrangement Clauses. The liabilities arp'estimated at from £25,000 to £30,000. THE BOROUGH OF SUDBURY.—The Sudbury town-council have prepared a petition to Parliament against the disfranchisement of the borough proposed by the bill of Sir Geprge Lewis. It is contended that Sudbury his been no worse than many o f its eleetora to rettirn P lly orrupt c ne i g hbours, which have still been permitted members. A statement has als o been prepared to show the now to done to the trade andproposed long-continued disfranchisement, whichprosperit yorieftPtashnew town by it to make a" rule absolute." FATAL ACCIDENT BY FALLING FROM A WINDOW. —Yesterday a fatal ace.idednitnenccurred to Mary Ann Reeves, over-street, Picadilly. She aged 38 years, who reside was cleaning the windows upstairs when sho e was seized with vertigo and fell , fracturing her skull in a most fright ful manner. She was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, w h e re death ensued. T„, LATE HURRICANE.—PLYMOUTH, Tuesday. —When the American ship Hiawatha, Captain Hall, was driven ashore in Batten Bay on Thursday last, the Coast guard boat was in the boat-house on the eastern beach in Catwater, and Mr. Bath, chief officer, finding the weather too heavy to attempt to row round the promontory of Mount Batten, determined to carry her across the isthinus —about a quarter of a mile. Her crew of 10 men were will ingly assisted by the inhabitants, and the boat, which is 18 feet long, was soon on the western beach. In addition to the fearful character of the storm, which was right in their teeth, the brave Coastguardsmen had to contend with a number of dangerous spars and yards alongside the stranded ship. Notwithstanding these hazards, Mr. Bath, in three trips, rescued the whole of the crew, 13 men, and brought them safely ashore. Commander Phelps, Inspecting Com mander of Coastguard, who had been obliged .to make a difficult detour by land to leach the wreck, was presmt, and directed the men, and afterwards adopted strinrnt measures to protect the ship's gear from pillage. Mr. Bath, it will be recollected, was in the Coastguard boat in Yam, 18 .57, when the homewardbound West India Mail steamship Tyne was wrecked. He then saved a large amount of specie and 43 lives, being all her crew and passergerF,'one of Whorri presented him with a purse containing £5OO. The .Etnperor .of .
