A higher demand is thus made on the time labour, and purse of ; the studeot than in any pre vious year. In 1828, the courses of lectures which the candidate was required to attend were isely namely, one on chymistry, one on materia medics, two on anatomy and physiology, and two on the theory. and practice of physic, with six months of hospital practice, and is certain knowledge,ef Latin. In 1829, the prescribed testimonials of attendance on lectures required ten courses, with the ewe ex perience of hospital practice, and the same extent of acquaintance with Latin. In the present year, for those students about to commence their career of medical pursuits, attendance on fourteen courses of lectures is required, The new courses are On botany, two on midwifery, and one on forensic medicine. The attendance on hospital 'practice has likewise been raised to 12 months. In noticing the regu lations issued by the Society lust, year, we recoin mended the Additional courses of botany and mid wifery, and we are glad that the Court of Examiners has evinced such a docile regard to the public vtice, as not only to effect the object of thisrecommenda tion, but to add a branch of study for which almost every medical examination before a Coroner's Jury shows the necessity. We likewise took the liberty of suggesting to the Society the propriety of re quiring from candidates some knowledge of Greek, as an acquaintance with that languirge would not only tend to liberalize their minds, but would give them a key to the nomenclature of several of the sciences which they are required to study end ac quire. To that extent the Court of Examiners have not ventured, though in Latin they now require a good deal more from the student then the ability to translate aqua Tura. We are mare that there »sly betiome difference of opiuiou on the propriety of demanding attendance on so many courses of lectures front all, sndmaking no exceptions in favour of great. talents or great industry,, united to such marrow circumstances as to reader the teeing of professors oppressive. One man, it is,,said, can learn as much in six months as others in six years, and why restrict all to the same rules ? To this the reply is easy,-7-that system of general educa tion must be made for average talent, and that it is better some should he restrained tram using :their skill as soon as they might with sidety, or be even altogether prevented from pursuing the profession, than that others imperfectly qualified should get certificate to endanger the lives of hie Majesty's subjects. Two years' attendance on the professor of those branches of knowledge which ought to guide their practice through life, cannot be regarded as a great sacrifice of time by t most industrious and ardent student, and to the doll or the indolent it is scarcely oufficient. Though some men are horn poets, we never heard of any man born an apethe.. eery ; and we are therefore glad, for the sake of the public health, that the Court of Examiners of the Society in our neighbourhood, pre resolved to eo, force a proper course of study, instead of relying upon the possession of arty intuitive or innate kitow- 1 ledge of medicine.—'fitter. Our news respecting the affairs of 'Belgium are confined to one document, and two or three letters from Brussels. The document is a proclamation from the Prince of Orange to the inhohition. of the southern provinces, announcing time consent of the King to the separation of Holland and Ht igiorn— the poignant regret which he experienced et the troubled state of the latter—and his anxiety remedy, by all desirable concessions—several of which are mentioned—every thing in shape of grievance which could be alleged. 'What may be, the effect of this proclamation upon the inhabitants of Belgium, it iii impottsible even to conjecture. De Potter, and the republican party, who,it is said, take for their motto, " Down with the House of Orange," will, no doubt, endeavour to represent it as a mere trick on the part of the Dutch Govern ment to get the Belgians into its power, tho Sigh this too, considering the plain end straight-forward style of the document in question, would be rather tin impudent attempt; but we still hope, though we Mytt our hopes are feeble, that the more prudent and less prejudiced - part of the community will as. in it • pledge that all former grievances are to he redressed—that Belgium is to be ruled, not only by Belgians, but in the spirit devired by the people —sad that as every thing is to be lost, and nothing to he gained by a separation from Holland, the beet course to be pursued is, to take the Prince at his word—s-to request him to implement his promises, and when be has done so, to replace the country under the dynasty of the House of Orange. In expressing these wishes, we trust we shall not be mistaken as 'advoceting the cause of Hollend against Belgium, or being desirous of representing the people of the latter country as having risen . agthist the former without 5 cause. The - cause:of the Belgians is a good cause I and if they wish to Ovens themselves, - without the supremacy of the Hoare of Orange, and under the form of a republic., there is no reason why they should be baulked. They may be a fickle and chtmgesble, and not easily satisfied people; but they had suffered not a little from the half-and-half sort of constitution with which it' :pleased 'the Allied to bless them some fifteen years'ago; and if they see just Mounds for apprehending 4 return of similar calamities, it is not only their right and interest, but their first duty to provide against them. An evening print talks of the Belgians as rebels-of putting them down es such, by fire And - sword ! ---aod of the right of intervention, Ir':agg of u protracted 'contest, which the great 14iia of Enrope may exercise, lo then slitne way that they applied it to the case err Greece , Turkey; but, to the first place, the 110 Itirtee are no snore rebels than the people Of Switzerland were reheli, when they threw off the Austrian yoke—in the second, the putting of them dawn. by fire and sword, is a matter which the Klog of Holland cannot so very easily accompliah—und,„ in the third, the cases of Greece and Turkey aro as dissimilar to those or nalland,and Belgium, as can possibly be imagined.

But it is useless to expend arguments when arguments are of no avail in bringing matters to a right decision. In polities it is the strongest that has always the most right; and if it be determined that strength and not right shall prevail, why the Belgians must of course succumb-to what their " high and mighty Signiors" may dictate ; but while we hope, on the one hand, that tree p-dicy will guide the councils of the Belgians---and true policy dictutea their union with Holland—we trust, on the other, that their cause will not suffer from foreign aggression, and that if force is to be the arbiter, the combatants will be only Belgians and Dutch.—Morn. Advert. Barretti, in his amusing letters from Spain and Portugal, tells us that he fell in with a Spanish moldier, who, in the course of conversation, toll him that he hell been some time a prisoner, in Eng heel, and that he hated the English ; and on being asked why, he hesitated awhile, and at lest answered because they used vinegar with their veal. A cor- 1 respondent of the Courier front Brussels, which we have copied,,seems to hate the Belgians as cordially as the Span;ard did the English, and . for an equally valid reason, bemuse they are " a beer-drinking race." A good Engl'shoutn, long after the French Revolution, used to consider himself bound to place all the evil in the would to the account of French Preebyterlanistrewas, during the greater part of the last century, the Week dog with ell true-born Englishmen. Popery seems to hold the piece now due Presbyterianism once held with a number of good Englishmen. Our contemporary of the Standard will have it, that there is hardly an evil in the world that cannot be traced to Popery. Unfortunately, in his zeal against Popery, he is sometimes a little apt to be a little too careless as to the facts on which he grounds his charges. Thus, for . in stance, he teils us lust night, " that the two prin ciples from which the Brussels insurrection had its origin —Popery and pnuperistn—are too extensively diffused throughout the whole of the Belgian pro vinces to permit,the hope that any prospect of good government, any sense, of morel obligation, will be strong enough to controul the ambition of the Itounish Priesthood, or to repress the natural elmIli• firm of prottgitcy, joined with poverty, which that Priesthood creates wherever its influence extends." That there is poverty in Belgium as in every other country of which we have yet heard, may readily be admitted; but that poverty is a characteristic of the Belgians we deny. The truth is that Flanders and Brabant are now and have always been among the Intuit orderly and industrious of countries of Europe. Every Englishman who visits Belgium is struck with the order and industry of the people. The Rev. Thomas Radcliff, who has drawn up an ela borate Report on the Agriculture of East and West Flanders, which he examined immediately after the Peace, gives a picture of the farm labourers in that country, which contrasts strongly with the condition of the attune class of people in England. " It is a pleasure," he says, " to observe the laborious industry of the Flemish farmers recruited by intervals of decent and emnfortable refreshment ; and nut less agree able, to perceive the farm servants treated with kindness and respect. They uniformly dine with the farmer and his family, at a clean table-cloth, well supplied with spoons, with four-pronged fmks and every thing necessary for their convenience, In Flanders the gentlemen are ell farmer', but the. farmere do not aspire to be gentlemen ; and their servants feel the benefit. They partake with them of a plentiful and orderly meal, which varies according to circumstances. One standing dish, however, is universal— ! a soup composed of butter-milk, boiled and thickened with flour,, or rye-bread, potatoes, salt pork, salt fislt, varioue vegetables, and eggs ; fresh meat and fresh fish occur occa sionally, though not for daily consumption ; add to these a plentiful supply of butter, or rendered lard, which is some times substituted; and, when it is recollected, that those articles of provisions are always made palatouble by very tolerable cookery, it will be allowed that the farmed table is comfortably supplied. The potatoes are always peeled, and are generally stewed in milk ; a particular kind of kidney-beau, as mentioned before, the feve haricot, *lied and stewed in milk also, is a frequent dish. No farmer is without a well-cultivated garden, full of the best vegetables, which all appear at his own table ; and apples are also in troduced into their cookery. tunes a beggar is scarcely to he seen, except in the towns, and but few there. In the country, habits of industry are kept up till health fails; and to meet the infirmities of age, the pear posseases a revenue from pious donations, regu. lated by the Government, and vested' by them in Commis sions of which the Mayors of the different Communes are Presidents, respectively, in right of their office. The clothing of the peasantry is warm - Mid comfortable—good shoe', stockings, end frequently gaiters of !matter or strong linen, which are sold very cheap ; their usual frugality leads them, however, to economise in tese articles substituting, on many occasion, coarse flannel socks and wooden sabots, both which are supplied in all the'ptiblie• markets at about eightpeuce cost. The comfortable supply of linen is re laminable; there are a few of-the labouring classes without many changes. In riding with a landed proprietor th em e, a part of the country in which his property was situated, a neat cottage presented itself t the clipped hedge which surrounded the garden, covered with linen very white, suggested an inquiry, whether it did not belong to a washerwoman ?' The answer was, that it was occupied by a labourer and his family, and that the limn was all their own.' Any circumstance connected with the cleanliness, health, and comfort of the lower clams, is in teresting; 11111 to this, of which we have been speaking, a peculiar degree of decency is attached. . If the lahourer is comfortable in point of appearance, the farmer is still more so. . . . In home work the firm& gene rally protects Ilia clothes by a smock-frock of blue linen a great attention to cleanliness prevails throughout.— With respect to the farm-house, the exterior is for the most part ornamented with creepers, or fruit-trees trained against the walls ; and within the neatness which prevails is quite fascinating. Every article of furniture is po lished ; the service of pewter displays a peculiar bright stets; and the tiled floor is purified by frequent ablutions. The cottage of the labourer, though not so well furnished, is, however, as clean; a frequent and periodical use of water and the broom pervades every house, great and small, in the country and in towns." Contrast this state of things, not with Ireland, the peasantry of which, whether Catholic, Protee• Wit, or Presbyterian, never yet knew comfort; not with Scotland, among the Mowing classes of which country cleanliness is hardly yet known—but with Protestant England, as described in the various Parliamentary Reports of Committees on the con dition of labourers, on emigration, tc, With the exception of one or two counties, the labourers throughout England are riot indeed in the lowest state of degradation, because the With arc lower, but in a dreadful comibion nevertholoss. Kent, which is far from having the most miserable peaeantry of England, is at present filled with dis orders, originating in the, misery of the working ,clasees. The papers of that county are tilled with accounts of outrages. Other counties exhibit outs rages, though not to the same, extent, from the same `causes. At a meeting at Maidstone, on Friday lutst, Major Wayth made the following observations 'on.the disturbances which have lately prevailed in Kent t--w He hoped the meeting would excuse_ him in advert ins to the burnings and machine-hreakinge, which- en happily have occurred in the eastern and western parts of the county. He was Convinced...-and he had no doubt that every oee in the room was of the same opinion, that these outrages must inevitably lead to the total destructiou of the misguided beings who - engaged in them. Every, One wee aware of the difficulties under which the labour lug classee of this country were suffering) their privations were dreadful, and loudly called for miogation. But he felt persuaded that the grievances which, afflicted this po tion of the pee* would remain unrielressed until there teas a thorough reform in the Commons' House of Parlia ment; or, at least, until the exercise of, the elective fran chise was protected by the haliot.—(Applause.)—He claimed the indulgence of the meeting for alluding to 'it circumstance, apparently extrinsic to the object for which they had assembled ; but he considered it important that they should distinctly and indignantly disclaim any con nection with the men who had disgraced themselves by their participation in acts of lawlehs violence. The mid night ineeseliary was as bad as the midnight murderer; and they might depend upon it that, if these outrage. were persisted in, ,a: Special Commission would be sent to lelaidstone.. The Oliver* and Castles would again come arrreagat thorn; -tire unfortunate men would be sold, and executed on Penenden Heath." When have the Popish labouring daises of Bel gium furnished materials for a picture like this ?--- Now we do not say that Popery is the cause of the order and industry of Belgium any more than that Protestantism is the cause of the misery of the agricultural labourers of England. But we contend that it does not become an Englishman to charge a country which, while it belonged to France, was superior in industry to the French provinces, and which State may be considered a model in most branches of industry, with pauperism. It was one of the first countries of Europe which gave an ex ample of a good management of the poor.—llforn ing Chronicle. OLD BAILEY, Ocr.B. TRIAL. OF CAPTAIN lIELSIIAM. (Concluded from our Paper of yegtorday.) The Rev. James Crowther, brother to the de ceased, proved that he saW the dead body at Bou logne on the .sth of April. He also proved that his brother was a native of Great Britain, and that he bad been a Lieutenant in the Ist Foot or Royalg. This closed the case for the prosecution, which Occupied from ten o'clock to a quarter to three. Before the defence was entered upon, Mr. ALLEY took an objection toy the indictment, and contended at considerable length that the Act of Parliament upon which it was founded applied only to natural-born British subjects. Now it had not been fully proved in evidence that the prisoner came under that description, and even his own ac knowledgment of his being an Irishman was not suf ficient evidence of the fact. _ _ • Mr. Jamie BAYLF.Y, however, overruled the ob jection, and the prisoner being called upon for his defence, addressed the Court and the Jury in a dis tinct and impressive manner, occasionally referring to a written paper whieh lay before him. • He went over the circumstances which bad led to the duel, and solemnly declared that prior to the meeting he entertained no feelings of ill-will towards the unfor tunate deceased. He complained of the expo* statements which bad been circulated to his preju dice, and spoke of the respectability of his connec tions in Ireland, and the pain which his unfortunate situation brought upon his - aged mother and friends. The depositions taken'in France were then offered by Mr. ALLEY; but their being read in evidence was over-ruled by the Judge. Witnesses were then called for the defence. Mr. Sleig, examined .by Mr. ADOLPIIUS—He rated that he was an oflieer in the British army, and that he was a member of two clubs in Boulogne. Knew both the prisoner and Mr. Crowther; the former was a member of both clubs. Saw Mr. Crowther at a billiard-room about two days before the duel took place. He came into the room and spoke to two gentlemen who were there, and went out with one of them. Witness had some conver sation with Colonel Conway on the subject of Mr. Crowther's admission► to the room, and the Colonel produced a letter, which he said he had received from Mr. Crowther ; in consequence of which wit ness waited upon Mr. Crowther, and delivered to him the letter which Colonel Conway had received, saying, that Colonel Conwayhad no desire to injure him, and, referring him to Captain Helsham, as the author of the report to his prejudice. Captain Hel sham subsequently acknowledged that It had pro pagated the report, adding, that the impression upon Isis mind was that he was correct.- Mr. Crowther denied the truth of the report, but admitted that he had been knocked down, and said that he , had called the assauber to an account. Captain Helsham then observed, that these affairs were not in general conducted without a friend ; adding, " Give me a reference to the party who acted for you on that oc casion; and if he was satisfied with your conduct, I shall be ready to offer you an apology." Mr. Crowther replied, that he had employed no friend, but had done it through the mediuM of the public papers. Captain Helsham then said, " I have a pro posal to make," and mentioned the names of three gentlemen who were at Cheltenham at the time, one of whom was Mr. St. George. Mr. Crowther admitted that lie knew the gentlemen mentioned, and Captain Helsham then proposed that he should write to Cheltenham to these three gentlemen, and if the reply of any of any of them was satisfactory, that he would then apologize. Mr. Crowther refused that proposal, and Captain Wl sham then proposed that Mr. Crowther should write, but that gentleman said he would have no letters on the subject. Captain Helsham then said, " Refer me to the newspapers in which you called this per Son to an account ; show me one of them, and I shall then be ready to make you any apology,orif not satisfied with titer, I willgi we you any other satisfae tion." Some conversation ensued about the possibility of getting the newspapers, and it was agreed that Mr. Crowther should go to :England and procure them, or extracts from them, at Peel's Coffee-room, and the last words Mr. Crowther said were—" Very well, I shall start to-night." This was on the 31st of March, the day before the duel. Witness uas very well acquainted with Captain Helsham about four years ago, but since them had dropped all friendly connection with him. Croto-examined by Mr. OURNF:Y—When I waited upon Mr. Crowther from Colonel Conway, I knew that Captain Helsham was going to wait upon him also. Mr. Crowther explained that he had been knocked down by a person by whom he and a young lady with whom he was running away had been pursued, and that he, having failed to obtain the address of the party by whom he had been assaulted, he put ass advertisement in a newspaper to discover him. The occurrence mentioned by . Mr. Crowther had taken i►lace about six years before the meeting at his lodgings. At that interview Captain Het sham said that be did not think be would be called upon to meet Mr. Crowther until the stigma was removed to which allusion had been made. . Colonel James Conway was then sworn and ass. mined—He stated that he was residing at Bou logne in March, 1820, and was aware,of the differ ence between the prisoner and Mr. Crowther. Wit ness had a conversation with Mr. Malony in a pri vate room, and he (witness) übserved to that per son that it. was a pity two young men should light upon a matter of so little importance, and added, that he should advise Captain Helsham not to melt Mr. Crowther, to which Mr.Malony most distinctly replied, that if Ciptain Helsham refused a meeting, he should be compelled to it, and said, that the, .usual means adopted upon those occasions should be resorted to, namely.—posting him in the town,. and a public horsewhipping. "Captain Helaham came into the room at that very time, and beard the oh .fiervation. Witness did not hear Captain , Helsham say, " I caution you, Sir, that if I am compelled to fight, I will make it a Metter of besiness.' Such an expression could not have been . used fit his (wit 4 ness's) presence: . Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS. , ...WSI a Lieutenant-Colonel the 63d regiment. Never sent Captain Helaham to Mr. Crowther. The wit ness was here handed a note, which ho acknow : hedged was in his handwriting; audit having been read by the dicier of the Court, the witness said it had escaped' his memory that ho had sent Captain Helsham to Mr. Crowther. Was quite certain that he did not propose to Mr. Malony that he should fight Captain Heisham, end to the best of his re collection he did not say that Mr. Crowther was an unfit person to meet Captain Helsham, Witness was very much averse that any fighting should take place, and did all ho could to prevent it.

The pri g loner was connected with witness. By the JUDGE--The prisoner is married to my laughter. Tie marriage took place since the ransuetion. _ _ . John Rooks, a lad, examined by Mr. A I.LEY- Was present at the euel, and stood about 100 yards from ►he parties. When Lieutenant Crowther fired, witness turned towards Captain Heisbam, and saw him raise his arm and fire directly. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—Stood close to the trench where the pistols were loaded. Heard Cavell Hel-ham order a coach, end went to the ground, thinking that something was coming on. Alhonse Hanoupin, a Frenchman, sworn, and examined through the medium of an interpreter — Was in the wood near the Column when the duel took place. , Saw one of the gentlemen fire, and the other gentleman fired directly. The two shots were like those tired from a double-barrelled gun. The last gentleman did not take any aim. Crosssexamined by Mr. GURNEY—Was at the time in the service of a lady named French, whom Carrin llel,rh,sin used to vi.it daily. He (the Captain) was at her house the night before the duel, and also on the morning it took place; but he came and went away immediately. A great number of respectable persons, in cluding military anti naval °Meer', professional gentle men, a Magistrate of the county of Kilkenny, Mr. Chesterton (the Governor of-the House of Correc tion), Mr. Webb (the comedian), and others, united in giving the prisoner an excellent character for kindness, generosity, and humanity. At half-past six o'clock Mr. Justice Ka Lev pro seeded to charge the Jury, end after desiring them to dismiss from their minds any reports ro the pre judice of the prisoner which they might have heard before they entered the box, his Lordship called their attention to the points to which they should apply themselves in their consideration of the case. The points were these :—First, they must be satis fied that both the prisoner and the deceased were natural-born subjects of this realm; secondly, they must be quite certain that the deceased was killed by the hand of the prisoner; and thirdly, whether the prisoner had so acted as to be guilty of the crime of murder. Intentionally using means calcu lated to produce death, if that result ensued, did most undoubtedly constitute the crime of murder. W s ith regard to the present case, it appeared, be yond all doubt, that it had arisen out of a duel ; now he (Mr. Justice Bayley) was bound as a lawyer to tell the Jury, that if parties went out to fight a duel, and that death was the result of that meeting, the surviving parties in the transaction were equally guilty of the crime of murder, whether fair or foul Means had been used. The Learned Judge then proceeded to read over the whole of the evidence, commenting as he proceeded upon the various points which that evidence presented. The Jury having remained out of Court for the space of übout twenty minutes, returned with a ver dict, finding the prisoner Not Guilty. The announcement of the verdict was received with evident satisfaction by the Court ; and seine persons so far forgot themselves as to clap their hands; upon hearing which Mr Justice BAYLEY called upon the Sheriff to take any person into custody who had acted in this most unbecoming Manner, observing, that although he had no fault whatever to find with the verdict which had just been pronounced, it was most essential to the ends of justice that its course should neither be diverted nor influenced by the opinions of persons who were inertly spectators there. lie repeated that he had no doubt but the jury had pronounced a just and proper verdict. • The prisoner, who possessed throughout the day a great share of fortitude and self-possession, with. out any attempt at effect, was immediately sur mended by his friend., who shook him most cor dially by the hand. He retired accompanied by several of them through the body of the prison, and got into a coach at the door of Mr. Wontner's pri vate residence. The Court was crowded to excess during the entire day, and such was the interest which the trial excited, that most of the persons, amongst whom were some, well-dressed females, never left the Court during the ten hours which the trial occupied. POLICE 'INTELLIGENCE. • • QUEEN.SQUARE. Yesterday Simeon Carter, a baker, of Robert street,.Chelsen, was charged, before Messrs. GRE.• 001tiE and WHITE, with assaulting William Ingle, a lad in the employ of Mr. Levi, the well-known con• tractor for turnpike tolls around the metropolis. The complainant stated that on Friday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon, the defendant passed through Queen's-elms turnpike in a one-horse cart, without paying or producing a ticket. Witness ran to the side of the cart to ask him for. the money, when the defendant cut him across the back with his whip. Witness took up a stone and threw it at him, when he jumped out of the cart and beat him with the but-ends of his whip, and knocked him down ; when he got up, he again struck him with his whip, and lashed him with the double thong, hit his head against the wall, and knocked him down. His, muster came uP", and asked him for the toll, when he made use of a vulgar expression. Mr. Levi ? jun., of No. 39, Brom . pion-square, con firmed the statement of the complainant. The defendant in reply said, that he had paid the toll in the course of the day. The complainant called out to him, and being conscious. of having paid the toll, he did not stop, when the lad threw a stone at him and hit him on the back. He certainly then got out and hit him slightly with the whip. Mr. WIIITE asked the defendant if he struck him before he threw the stone?--The defendant replied that he did not, for he never. came near enough to the cart to be struck by. him. • Charles Lister, in the employ of the defendant who was in the cart at the time, was called as a wit ness on behalf of his master, and on being questioned by Mr. White, said that the complainant came near enough to the cart to stop the horse if he pleased, but he would not exactly take his oath whether his master struck him with his whip or not before the stone was thrown, Mr. Levi said that, heketivi the defendant, who frequently passed through the gate; but it was a black horse he paid for ID the morning, and a grey horse was in The cart when the payment was de manded. Mr. WIIITE said that he did not approve of the toll-collectors stopping persons when they knew their address, if there was a dispute about the pay ment of a toll, as they might easily have a remedy without causing a' disturbance in the road ; at the same time the complainant'was doing no more than his ;duty in seeing that, the toll was peid, or that the de fendant had a ticket for lila exemption ; and it Wits 'the duty of every passenger to satisfy the toll-Col lector that he had paid. When the defendant had got through the gate,:he ought to have stopped and satisfied the collector, and not have cut him with his whip : and, as an example, to the public, he should fine the defendant in the tall penalty of Efl. The defendant wished to appeal. Mr. GREGORIS LOW 11iM there was no appeal, and and the money was paid. L MA El' 11-STREET. 4. gentleman , named Harvey, residing in (Morn place,Whitechapel, appeared before Mr. WvATT, t o s how o cause why he refused to pay the sum of ~ 9d., being the utnount of a rate made upon him for the maintenance of the poor of the above parish. The collector stated t hat he had called upon Mr. Harvey for the above sum of mono , ami he r e f u s e d to pay it because he (the collector would not wr i te d„, wit and give a separate receipt or that portion of it which went towards the new police. Thi s• it A , w as quite impossible for bun to do, as tne police.qate and, the poor -rate were incorporated together, and he could not separate them, and say the precise sum which went to one, and which to the other. Mr. Harvey told the Magistrate that, being very much surprised at the amount of the rate, he asked the collector the reason for it, and he watt then for the first time informed that it wee to go to pay the police-rate as well as the poor-rate, which two had been incorporated together, and the collector refused to give any account of what portion was foe the police, and what was for the poor. He consequently refused to pay until he was satisfied upon that point. The Magistrate referred to the Act of Parliament, anti said that it was quite correct that the mint!. mince of the poor and the police were paid out of the poor's rate; but the Act at the same time directed that the overseers of every parish should dive notice to that effect to their parishioners. Mr. Harvey said he had no notice whatever. The Magi;triite said he should dismiss the sum mons, and the overseer intimated his intention of procuring other', and getting the vestry clerk and overseers to attend to support them. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a journeyman shoemaker name►! Henry Sinnnonds was finally examined before Mr. BENETT and Mr. TWYFORD, the sitting Magistrates, on a charge of embezzling a quantity of leather, the pro perty of Messrs. Paterson and Co., who keep an ex tensive shoe-warehouge m Chiswell-street. . It appeared that the prisoner had, by means of some false recommendation, contrived to obtain em ployment from the prosecutors in the name of Lei cester, but after a time they discovered that his real name was Simmonds, and that he had made away With their property. Ile had since admitted that he sold part of it, and finding that there was a de termination to prosecute him, he endeavoured to On eta compromise, which, however, the prosecutor refused. The prisoner, in his defence, denied all kno,l - of the prosecutor as his employer, and said that he merely became security for a man named Leicester, for whom the work was taken out. Mr. Peterson said the prisoner had passed by the two names, a trick by which he hoped to evade the consequences of his Misconduct. He did som►- times send another man for the work, but they knew nothing of that person, and always delivered it ai for the prisoner. The greater part of it, in fact, in cluding that which he acknowledged having sold, Was delivered to the prisoner personally. The prisoner then said that the leather bad been sent back to the warehouse. It was explained, in answer to this assertion, that when the prisoner was found to be in danger of punishment, he sent the leather to the warehouse by his wife. It was not the leather of the prosecutor, however, but some which he 'had obtained from-wine other source, and they refused to receive it. Mr. Paterson said he had declined entering into any compromise with the prisoner. There were a number of men who, without work, made a goutl living by obtaining property from shoemakers in this way, and disposing of it for their own ben, fit, and he felt it due to himself, and the trade gtneraliy, whose losses were immense, to have the prisoner punished as an example to ot hers. The prisoner's possession of the property, and his admission of having disposed of it, having been proved, The Magistrates committed him to hard labour in the House of Correction for one month. UNION.HALL. Yesterday John Wilton, one of those fellows who hawk lead pencils about town, was brought before Mr. Hora, charged with stealing a massive .ilver castor-stand, the property of Mr. Nutting, of Peck ham-rye. From the evidence, it appeared that on the pre ceding day, while Mr. Nutting's family were absent from home, the servants, who were occupied up stairs, observed, from the window of the front attic, the prisoner in the act of letting himself out of the front garden gate into the road . The servants sus pecting that be had been within the garden for an improper purpose, called out and asked him what he wanted, upon which he immediately held up a bundle of black lead pencils, saying at the 'am. time, " I only called to know if you wanted any of these." The moment, however, he got outside the gate, he took to his heels, and began to run 'across the fields, in the direction of town. One of the servants hastened down, and having missed the silver castor, went in pursuit of the prisoner, and being a mart active young lass, she loon outstripped him in the race, and after a chase of about a mile and a half, she, with the assistance of a blacksmith, secured the offender. In the course of the pursuit, he had dis encumbered himself of the silver castor, which was found in the route he had taken across the hedges and ditches. In his possession was found the bundle of pencils, by hawking, which description of articles he said that he obtained a livelihood. It was stated that more robberies were committed in the suburbs of the town by hawkers, than by any other description of thieves. It was notorious enough that that class of persons were regular thieves by " profession," and that they hawked articles about merely for the purpose of having some excuse to obtain access to. the hall-doors, and down the area Steps of gentlemen's houses.—The prisoner was committed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the Landon Nevi Price Current of yesterday.) SOSAI.—The demand for Muscovadee has been rather limited this week, and the purchases do not exceed 2,300 Oh& and trs. ; yet the Market has a fir me r app earance than last week and the trade are going about the Market as if they were out of stook ; their inquiries were general, end continued up till a late hour this day. In Refined there have been no transactions since the alteration of the bounty. Molasses are in demand, and Is. 6d. higher. At az late hour to-day the only sales of the shipping descrip tion* that have been effected have been of small parcels that were placed in bond previous to Tuesday, the day on which the reduction of one-tenth of the bounty took place, and for those no material alteration in the prices could be noticed ; there are still a few parcels of crashed remaining on hand in the Docks, which, being entitled to the high bounty, could be bought at nearly last week's prices ; at present very few offers have been made for goods coming forward, the buyers not being prepared at present to give more than Me. for large lumps, for which the Refiners arc asking 70s. and 11s. ' • the pricee of all these descrip tions, consequently, must be stated to be nominal. Of the fine grocery goods there is still a great scarcity, and prices are fully maintained. The bounty on Refined Sugar is now only 36e. aid. for single refined, and 45,. 2itl. for double and equal to double refined. Foation SUGAR.—The only sale of Foreign Sugar is 120 chests low soft brown ; Rio for shipping at 184, The heaviness of the Sugar Market generally, and the Advanced season for export, makes it' probable that Foreign 811glie will be neglected till the speculation for the spring commences, or that the trade purchase them for catalog. FAIT INDIA SUGAR.—There are no sales to report; Mauritius -end Bengal Sugar partaking in the general heaVinesa of the market. Corm.—The public sales of Coffee this week have gone off with considerable briskness, particularly th e j a . make descriptions suitable for the home trade; the ad vance of last week has been fully maintained ; 770 bags fair St. Domingo sold 335. 6d. a 345. The purchases of ,Coffee this week may be estimated at 800 casks and feoo page Jamaica, and about 140 casks Dominique and Ber ,bice ; 70 begs fine ord. Mysore were taken in at 40s. 6d. and 50e. ; the ord. Jamaica descriptions sell very high, ord 365. a 394. ; scarcely aby good ord. under 40s. ; fine ord. 43*. a 465., fine toe ord. 481. a as..

Rum has been taken a shade under Is. 8101.,' awl we believe above is. 81d., which is rather lower than generally anticipated ; there is little or no business since reported, and the general im preasion on the market appears unfavourable for prices. In Brandy considerable transactions still reported. Geneva is without variation. Helm FLAX, AND TALLow.—Tallow is very steady; and there is more appearance of firmness. Hemp is ra ther dull. Flax is hold with great firmness. Iwntoo.--The .paantity passed the sale up to this after noon is 2,071 chests. The first day's sale went off languid, and Eld. lower, but it was only for middling and unde cided lots; the good went elf at last sale prices to 4d. per lb. discount. Of the sale 950 chests were not ready in time for inspection ; the sale is not continued this morn ing on account of its being a Jew holyday. At the close of the sale yesterday, Mr. Wilkinson stated that the trade had repeated!y requested of the Court that no Indigo should be bunt& forward at the sale without a reasonable time being given for inspection ; that the Court had pledged . . , Reel( to this line of coming!! in future sales, and now 950 had been declared the day • before the commencement of the sale. tle protested against this, and that be fer.ass would not inspect them, and that it placed the memo• tile houses of the City in a most unpleasant situation, se the quantity had been materially altered, and all precious ealculetions and the basis of belying, .were completely altered. The Chairman simply 'stated that the Company wished to meet the wishes of the trade, awl he would re. port what had passed. 2,071 chests, mostly Company's Indigo, have now passed the sale: There was yesterday more animation, and prices were higher than the fiat day's sale; good and decided qualities sold at last sslf's prices, and undeeided and 'nixed qoalities from the list sa'e's prime to 611. lower.
