S PI RIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. 'RIM THE EVENTICII Perim OF TESTERDAI . 'GrLOBE.—The protest of the nine Bishops of the h Church against the system of National Educa tioi i in Ireland, is a document of portentous import in the present state of that country. It is not merely a manifesto against the policy of the Government, frson a quarter which wields immense influence (mar the minds of the party that materially as tti.steal in bringing Sir Robert Peel into office ; by whose support he must be upheld, or fall. This would, in a party sense, invest the document with importance ; but in this only. It would, indeed, indicate a deeply-seated dissatisfaction, embedded in the minds of the clergy of the Irish Church, with the course which the Government had marked out for itself. It breathes a mortifying sense of the decep tions whichhad been practised upon them, under which they had been induced to invest Ministers with power, in the expectation and belief that the power they con ferred would he employed for purposes materially op posed to those for which it has been employed ; and that the first opportunity would he taken to rectify the mistakes they had made, and to undo the mischiefs they had wrought against themselves. To mere poli tical partisans this state of things would be a source of satisfaction. The disappointments and complaints of the Epis'eopal Protesters and Remonstrants, and the sYmP - athies they have moved in the clergy and laity of die Irish Church, would be regarded as an admis sion of their chagrin. Having allowed themselves to be duped into a belief that Sir Robert Peel would abolish the National Education Board, and consign Ireland to the curse of ignorance, to please the bigots of the Church, they mourn their disappointment. But this would be indeed a narrow and unworthy view of the subject. The question is too important in its character and consequences to admit of its being confined within the contracted space of party politics The protest of the Bishops is a manifesto against the Roman Catholic religion—the religion of the great mass of the Irish people. It is, in effect, a denial of their right to the benefits of secular instruction by means of funds provided by the State, except they submit to have those benefits conferred under the di rection and control of the Established Clergy. The creeds, prayers, and other formularies of the Protes tant Church are to be in constant use in the schools, which the Protestors and Remonstrants insist are the only schools which the State can consistently recognise. To these schools, then, the Roman Catholic children are to be brought for education by their poor Roman Catholic parents, or to he excluded from the benefits of secular instruction. It is even deemed a concession —a large and liberal concession—that participation in the use of these Protestant creeds, prayers, and formu laries is not exacted as an imperative condition. The Roman Catholic children, we are told, are only to be present when these Protestant prayers are used by the Protestant children—they need not pray ! They are required to be present when the creeds are rehearsed by the Protestant children—they are not required to express their assent to the articles of Protestant belief. Roman Catholic children are to be the daily, and almost hourly, spectators and auditors of these religious practices and prayers, in the schools to which they are to obtain admission only on these terms. This is the modest request—the rational desire of these Protestant Prelates, and those who labour to advance the object at which they aim ! The spirit of proselytism is so powerful in Episcopal bosoms, and the means they would employ to win poor deluded Papists from the errors in doc trine and practice of Rome, so well-adapted to etTs.ct their purpose, that they would debar them from se cular instruction as a proof of the pious regard they cherish for their immortal interests ! This may he, and probably is, perfectly consistent with the spirit of proselytism—we know that it is diametri cally opposed both to the genius of Protestantism and to the precepts of Christianity. But what will be its probable effects on the popular feel ing in Ireland ? There it will be regarded as an aggressive nsovement of the Protestant Established Church against the religion of the people. The ani mosities of rival churches will be roused by its means ; and the hopes of returning quiet will be disappointed by the animosities it will fan into a flame. The heads of the Protestant Church are, we fear, answerable for this. The flames of agitation will be stimulated by the materials it supplies. Those who make a gain of the dissensions and dissatisfactions which disturb society in Ireland, and fan the feelings of discontent when they appear to subside, will thank the nine Pro testant Bishops for their manifesto against Popery ; and appeal to its contents as a justification for re newed vituperation of Protestantism. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 14. There was nothing of the smallest general interes came before the Court to-day. BAIL COURT, Jan. 14. (Sittings at Nisi I'rius, before kr. Justice WILLIAxs.) DUNN V. HUMPHRIES. This was an action to recover a certain sum •f money for work and labour done. Defendant pleaded that he was never indebted. Mr. Allan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Wordsworth fur the defendant. The plaintiff, a master plasterer, had been engaged to complete the interior of some premises belonging to the defendant, in Dorchester-place, Blandford-square. The funds had, before October, 1841, been supplied by a Mr. Nicholas, as agent for the defendant, but he about that time failing to supply sufficient moneys to pay the work men, the plaintiff stopped work, and then the defendant himself ordered him to renew it, stating that he himself would provide future payments. These, however, were not kept up regularly, and the plaintiff again, and finally, threw up " the job ;" and it was for compensation for the work done from the period of the order given by the defendant that the present action was brought. The bill of particulars laid the amount due at 1071. Evidence was adduced to prove the labour done. Mr. PLATT, for the defence, contended that the con tract for the completion of the houses had been entered into with Mr. Nicholas, and not with plaintiff, and that, therefore, to him, and not to the defendant, the plaintiff shoald look for payment. But the facts of the case were, that, on the 27th of November, Mr. Nicholas had dis covered that more money had been received by the plaintiff, in partial payments, than work had been done by him on these premises, and therefore he was turned off, and a fui ther sum of 50/. was expended in remedy ing the bad work made by him. After an elaborate address to the jury, witnesses were called to support the defendant's case ; and after the Learned Judge had summed up, the jury retired, and returned with a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) BURGESS V. GRAY. This was an action to recover compensation in da• wages for injury sustained by the plaintiff, through the overturning of a chaise in consequence of a heap of rub bish improperly left in the road by the defendant, or his servants. The verdict was for the plaintiff—Damages, loot. Mr. Sergeant BvtEs obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, as against evidence, on the ground that the heap was laid in the road by a person named Jackson, who was not the servant of defendant. ELLIOT V. ALLEN AND OTHERS. This was an action for trespass and false imprison s anent; brought against the overseers and medical officer of the parish of Islington, under the following circum p' stances : It appeared that the plaintiff, wbo was conducting clerk to the eminent solicitors, Austin and Hobson, hav ing let a part of his house in the parish of Islington, had 'repeated quarrels with his tenants, who on one occasion , actually locked him out of his own house at night, so that he was compelled to break open the street-door. These quarrels caused great alarm in the neighbour, and as the conduct of the plain tiff was somewhat eccentric in other respects, .1 it was represented to the parish authorities that he le.was dangerously insane, and ought to be secured.:, Upon atthis information, the parish officers caused him to he .a.taken to the workhouse, confined as a lunatic, and put e 4 ,lin a strait-waistcoat. He was discharged at the end of a week. For the trespass and imprisonment the action was brought, when the jury found for the plaintiff — damages 400/. On Saturday, Mr. Sergeant Byles, with whom was Mr. Sergeant Shea, for the defendants, men tioned the cause, which was again part heard yesterday. This application was for a rule for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. The bearing was now resumed. I Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, at great length, showed cause why a new trial should not be granted. He con tended that there was every evidence that the plaintiff ant was not insane at the time of the trespass, or at any time i n before it, and further, that he was not at that time in • - r destitute circumstances such as could warrant the violent interference of the parish authorities. Mr. Elliot was ;b the son of a judge in India, but, having a strong . religious tendency, want out to Canada to preach the Gospel to the Indians. On his return, he took the situation of clerk to the solicitors, that being the profession to which he had been brought up. It was not to be denied that disappointments respecting property which he thought h e was entitled to in India had rt ndered him very excit aisle, and that temper was aggravated by the misconduct of his tenants. At the time when the persons sent by the parish to take charge of him as a lunatic arrived, he was sitting quietly in his parlour, arranging family affairs with his brother inrlaw, who was a medical man, and who remonstrated with the constables, assuring them that the plaintiff was not insane. Even in the workhouse the plaintiff was allowed to use his mars, and was otherwise treated as a sane person, except :a; that the first night it was thought necessary to control his resistance, by putting on a straight-waistcoat. As to the allegation t hat he was destitute, that rested entirely .upon the fact that, after he was discharged from the workhouse, he became very much distressed in his circumstances, in consequence of what he had suffered, , and he was obliged to apply to the parish for relief. Mr. Sergeant S UEA , in reply, contended that the evi ' dente for the defence fully established both the dan gerous state of mind and the destitution, which justified the interference of the parish. `'_ Mr. Justice Casswitu. asked, had the defendants ~ ,shown that the plaintiff was at the time in a stnte 1 1 , - Ito pressingly dangerous as not to allow the parish officers time to do as they required—namely, to apply for an order to take him to a magistrate, instead of ,confining him on their own responsibility. Mr. Sergeant SHEA argued at length that this was 4) roved in evidence 1 S /2 ~; ~ Ii 1 / // ~~r~ ~~` ~. ~.._ Z 4.,.*',, !tr ' TR The Court were of opinion, that the jury attributed to the defendants malice which did not exist. If the plaintiff would consent to take damages in 2004. the rule should be discharged, not otherwise. Mr. Sergeant TALPOURD, for the plaintiff, at once con sented, and the verdict was entered accordingly. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) WIPE c. 41111111111 X. In this case, Mr. MARTIN moved for a rule to show cause why an order of Mr. Baron Alderson, granted at chambers, on the 6th of December last, should not be set aside on such terms as their Lordships might direct. The action was commenced on the 14th of May, 1844. It was brought upon two cheques, one dated on the 25th of May, 1840, and the other on the 14th of July, in the same year ; and amongst other pleas, there were pleas to each count that these cheques had been given for money won at hazard in a gambling-house in St. James's•street. The case stood for trial as a special jury case on the 7th of December last. All attempts to obtain the necessary evidence having failed, on the 6th of December, the day before the trial was to take place, the plaintiff 'a attorney consented to an order of Mr. Baron Alderson, for the payment of the debt and costs. ()n the 7th of December a person called on the attorney from the defendant, and stated, that himself and various other persons whom he named, were pre pared to prove that the money had been won at play in St. James's -street, four years before, and not only so, but that it was foul play, and false dice were used. He (the Learned Counsel) was pre• pared now with the affidavits confirming this state ment, and stating further that the action was brought in collusion with Davis, the man who kept the house. An officer who was employed to procure information on the subject, and every possible means was resorted to without effect. The money had since been paid into Court, in pursuance of an order of Mr. Baron Rolfe. The case went off in order that the affidavits referred to by the Learned Counsel might be filed. THE REVENUE FRAUDS.-TIIE ATTORNEY• GENERAL V. SMITHS. In this case, which was an information filed by the Attorney General, for certain alleged offences against the excise-laws by the defendants, who until recently carried on the business of spirit distillers, at the east end. The Solicitor-General applied to the Court to fix a day for the trial of the action at bar. —Thursday, Feb. 6, was appointed for that purpose. THE ATTORNEY-OF.NERAL V. SMITHS. Shortly after the above application, Mr. KELLY said, in a case of the Attorney-General against George Smith and James Scott Smith, he had to move to show cause why particulars should not be delivered to the defendants of certain arrears of duties alleged in the last count of the information to have become due to the Crown, with the times at which such duties became due, and also why particulars of cer tain spirits alleged in the third and other counts of the information to have been removed from this distillery to the rectify ing house, and the time or times at which sash removal was supposed to have taken place. This was certainly one of the most extraordinary, and, as it stood, unaccountable prosecutions that had ever been instituted. The information consisted of six counts ; and in the first five of these counts there were charges that the defendants had used and carried on business on certain premises used as a distillery, within a quarter of a mile of certain other premises, used as a rectifying-house, and that, contrary to the statute, there was a communication between the distillery and the rectifying-house, by means of which spirits, wort, wash, and other articles had been conveyed otherwise than by waggons, and on the public highway. The communication was stated in one place to be by a pipe under-ground, and, in another, by means of a trough ; and the penalties sought to be recovered on each of these five counts amounted to 75,0001.—that is, 5001. a week, for the space of nearly three years. In the last count, for the penalties, the defendant was charged in the most general form. The whole amount sought to be recovered by the two informations filed, including the cumulative penalties, was 309,0001. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state at length the history of the establish ments with which the defendants are connected. The business of a distiller had been carried on upon the pre mises for more than 100 years, and in that period many millions had been paid to the revenue, in the form of duty upon spirits. He believed that the house had paid, for the most part, not less tha❑ 1,0001. per day. In 1817, for obvious reasons, an Act was passed to prohibit the carrying on of the two trades of a distiller and rectifier on the same premises ; but a saving clause was introduced excepting the case of Messrs. Smith on account of the great expense which they had been at in the rectifying establishment. Upon the passing of the Act, however, the openings, yards, and gates, connecting the distillery with the rectifying house, were blocked up to the perfect satisfaction of the excise offieera, and there had since been no com munication between them. By another Act, passed in 1125, there was a prohibition of any communication be tween any such two establishments, by which spirits might or could be conveyed from one to the other, except by means of carts or waggons, along the public highway. It happened, unfortunately, however, that a supply of water was required for the use of these extensive pre mises. For nearly a century past they had been supplied by the East London Water Company. As the supply required was large, the water was first brought into a tank, the dimensions of which are such that a battalion of soldiers might swim in it.. It held, he believed, upwards of 80,000 gallons of water. From this large reservoir the water was car ried by a great number of pipes, into some twenty or five-and-twenty chambers or departments of the dis -1 tillery ; it was conveyed sometimes by pipes within the different chambers, at other times by pipes without the buildings, going down and rising up outside the walls, at other times along the ground, and the❑ again under the ground. By these various pipes the whole of the distillery and the rectifying-house was supplied. The business was carried on with the pipes existing in this condition from a period of seventy years back until the year 1844. In that year certain officers of the Excise bethought themselves that where water could be conveyed spirit could be conveyed, and sus pected that these water-pipes were an infringe ment of the Act of Parliament. They might, with at least equal propriety, have selected the gas pipes. The pipes had been allowed to exist without ob jection for thirty years, but they now endeavoured to make an experiment, proving that inasmuch as water could be conveyed by these pipes spirits could be conveyed, and that here therefore was a violation of the Act of Parlia ment. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Smith were charged with using these pipes contrary to the statute for three years, minus six weeks, three ' years being the period limited by the Act of Parliament. He would now state to the Court the precise information in which these gentlemen were placed. The LORD CHIEF BARON was not satisfied that the Court had any authority in the case. A long argument ensued as to the right of the Court to compel the Crown to produce particulars in a case of this nature. The Learned Counsel contended that the Crown had no right in such a case which the subject did not equally possess, and referred to authorities in sup port of his argument. After the Learned Judges had consulted, The LORD CHIEF' BARON said the Court would not stop the case in the outset on the ground of authority. They would assume it for the purpose of granting a rule nisi. It was ultimately arranged that application should be made to the counsel for the Crown, on the part of the derendants, for the particulars sought to be obtained, and that if they were not satisfied, they should apply to this Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW-STREET. Four decent-looking young men, of from 18 to 25 years of age, were charged by John Lloyd, the landlord of the Coachmakers' Arms, Hanover-street, Long-acre, with creating a disturbance in his house, and wilfully in juring his property. Complainant stated that at a late hour last night the prisoners, together with four or five others, entered his house, and ordered some ale and gin, with which they were served. They then began to siag boisterously, and made such a disturbance that he attempted to turn them out. He called a policeman, but even with his assistance he could not get them out. He sent for another Fol ce rium, but before any could arrive the four prisoners had escaped. They broke a tumbler, and in forcing the window they broke an iron bar with which it was fas tened : ss. would cover the damage. One of the prisoners said that complainant put out the gas, and would not let them finish the ale and gin, which they had paid for. Mr. JARDINE said that the prisoners must pay the ss. to Mr. Lloyd, and he should fine them ss. each for being drunk.—The money was immediately paid. LAMBETH. A poor woman applied to Mr. Henry for a summons against Mr. Wharton, a pawnbroker, of Lambeth, for refusing to deliver up a pledge on paymeftt of the money. The applicant said she had been in the habit of pledging a number of articles at Mr. Wharton's shop weekly, which were always redeemed every Saturday, and pledged again on the following Monday. The sum ad vanced on the articles was eight shillings. The pawn broker, however, had put the sum of twenty shillings on the duplicate, although she had only pledged the things for eight shillings as usual. She (applicant) could neither read nor write, the pawnbrokers were so accustomed to the things, that they never asked the sum required, but always advanced the Bs. without a question. Mr. HENRY said, an officer of the Court should go with the applicant to Mr. Wharton, and examine the books, when, he had no doubt, if it was a mistake, Mr. Wharton, as a respectable man would rectify it. The applicant thanked the Magistrate, and withdrew. WORSHIP-S TREE T. _ George Fletclier, a young man of respectable con nexicns and appearance, was charged before Mr. Broughton with stealing fire sovereigns and a valuable breast-pin, in the residence of Mr. Frederic Wildbore, a surgeon in Shoreditch, and also with having committed various frauds and felonies in the county of Hertford. It appea re d f rom th e sta t emen t o f Mr. George Smith, principal assistant to slr. Wildbore, that at the end of September la s t th e p r i soner en t ere d th a t gentleman's service as janior assistant, on the faith of strong testi monials to his character and abilities, purporting to be written by his uncle, a person of known respectability. After he had lived in the house about three mouths, cir cumstances occurred of such a suspicious nature that Mr. Wildbore was induced to make inquiries about him, and these led to the discovery, that in consequence of the vicious and disreputable courses the prisoner had pursued, he had been discarded by a ll hi s re - latives, and that the testimonials referred to were forgeries. The prisoner received immediate notice to quit, but previous to his leg it was thought prudent SIIN, LON DON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY la , 1345. to examine the house, to see that the property in it was safe ; and it having been found by the witness that his dressing-case had been stolen from his bed-room, he called up the prisoner and questioned him. He at first denied all knowledge of the property, but on being closely pressed, suddenly exclaimed, " There it is 1" and proceeding straight to tne window, opened it and produced the dressing-case from the gutter outside. The case had been broken open and rifled of its con tents, consisting, among other articles, of those above mentioned. From the position in which the prisoner had been standing, it was utterly impossible he could have seen the dressing-case outside the house, and though it was manifest the robbery had been committed by him, the facts were not considered sufficiently strong to sup port such a charge, and he was allowed to leave the house unmolested ; but information of other depreda tions he had committed in the country was subsequently received, and this led to his apprehension. The second charge was preferred by Mr. Henry Bro drick, parish clerk of Watford, in Hertfordshire, who stated that in March last the prisoner, who was then living as assistant to Mr. Pitcock, a surgeon of that place hired furnished apartments in his house, and that on a Sunday evening in the following June witness and his family went out, leaving no one at home but the pri soner; they returned a few hours afterwards, and on entering the house discovered that it had been robbed, and that a large quantity of plate and articles of jewellery had been stolen. The prisoner, on being called upon to account for the transaction, said that he had gone into the garden to smoke a cigar, and that the thieves must have availed themselves of that opportunity' to enter the house and commit the robbery. The cir cumstances were strongly auspicious against the pri soner, but, from the high character he was supposed to possess, witness hesitated to give him in custody, and he remained in the house some time longer, when he left considerably in debt, and nothing was either seen or heard of him afterwards. Sergeant Brannan said, he had been for some time past engaged in incessant efforts to trace the prisoner, but was wholly unsuccessful until Sunday evening last, when, information having been received by the police that the keeper of a house of infamous character, in Storer-street, Commercial-road, of the name of Fletcher, had been robbed of some pigeons, he suspected from the name, and his knowledge of the prisoner's former habits, that the person robbed was the very man ho was in search of, and went to the house, where he found his suspicions realised, and took him into custody. From the prisoner's own admissions it appeared that he had te nanted the house in question, which was one of the very worst character, for more than twelve months; that he was actually the keeper of it at the time he filled the respectable situations mentioned in the preceding charges, and that he had previously to that kept another house of the same description at Gravesend, from which he had been ousted by the parish authorities, who had instituted a prosecution against him. On searching the house in Storer-street, witness discovered a vast number of duplicates, several of which related to articles of jewellery exactly corresponding with those of which Mr. Brodrick had been robbed, and others for articles of the same kind, asalso a large amount of property he had obtained by fraudulent means from a gentleman named Warne, residing in Hertfordshire. The sergeant added, that the latter gentleman had been compelled to proceed on business to bolt, in Norfolk, but would be in attend ance at the next examination and give evidence. Mr. Vann, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted that though there were certainly very strong grounds of suspicion against his client, nothing had been elicited in the course of either of the charges brought forward which would justify the prisoner's committal. Mr. BROUGLITON said that he had no hesitation what ever in committing him upon the charges ; but, as 1.0 understood that additional ones would be preferred +against him, he should order him to be brought up again next week, to give an opportunity for their being gone into. The prisoner, who betrayed not the slightest emotion hroughout the proceedings, was then removed. SOUTHWARK. Information was given at the station-house of the L division, that Christ Church, in the Blackfriars-road, had been entered on Sunday night, and an iron chest, containing several articles of communion plate, opened, and the articles taken away. From the statement of the sextoness, it appeared that about half-past eight o'clock the night before, the ser vice being concluded, and the congregation gone, she locked the vestry-room door, and then quitted the church by the principal entrance, which she else locked after her, at which time she left everything safe in the interior of the edifice. On approaching the church the following morning, at half-past seven o'clock, she perceived that the door was ajar, and knowing that she had secured it the previous night, she at once suspected that thieves had made an entrance. On going into the church her suspicions were immediately verified, for she discovered the lid of an iron chest kept on the left of the entrance to the vestry-reom open, and the door of the latter apart ment also wide open, and everything in a state of confu sion therein. The thieves appeared to have regaled them selves in the vestry with wine and cake, two empty bot tles being found on the table. In the room they broke open some drawers and a small mahogany box belong ing to the vestry-clerk, in which was usually deposited A considerable sum of money, but upon the present oc casion there was but a mere trifle. From the iron chest there was taken four communion plates, one chalice, and two cups, none of which had been in use for a conside rable number of years, and were only plated articles, but had all the appearance of the genuine metal. Two scarfs, and some other articles of trifling value, were also found to have been carried away, together with some prayer-books, taken from the various pews. Inspector Evans proceeded to the church, and, from his inspection, it would seem that the thieves had entered during the service on the preceding evening, and secreted them selves in the belfry, which is well adapted for such a purpose, until the congregation had withdrawn, and then commenced their work. Some burnt lecifer matches were found strewn about in different direc tions in the church and the vestry, and it was ascer tained the iron cheat had not been forced. for the key with which it was opened was always kept hanging up in the latter room, and was found re placed in its former situation. The communion plate, which has been in use for some years, is of solid silver, but owing to an act of sacrilege committed in the church some considerable time ago, the various articles were uniformly removed thence to a place of more safety ever since that occurrence ; and the plated ones, deemed of but little value, were left in the iron chest, from which they were taken by sacrilegious hands, in the es pecta tion, no doubt, that they were composed of silver. There were no marks of violence having been resorted to by the thieves perceptible in any part of the building they had visited, except the mahogany box, the lid of which was prised open with a "jemmy," or some such instru ment, and on quitting the church, after emptying the wine bottles, they departed, leaving the door open after them. From the distance of the porch of the church to the street beyond the iron railings enclosing the grave yard, it was impossible for the policeman on the beat t , ) be enabled to discern the condition of the church doors as he was proceeding on his rounds during the night. The thieves could not have experienced much difficulty in surmounting the iron pallisades, which were low in many parts, and getting clear off. The police are in active search for them. Robert Davidson was charged before Mr. Traill:with stealing a set of bagatelle balls, from the Horse and Groom public-house, Guildford-street, Southwark. It appeared that on the preceding afternoon the pri sutler and another man (not in custody) went into the above public-house. They had not been there long be fore they commenced playing the game of bagatelle, soon after which they were descending from the room, when, the bagatelle balls being missed, they were pur sued. The prisoner was taken into custody. The balls were not found on him, and he assumed to be a perfect stranger to the man who escaped.—Remanded. HAMMERSMITH. A tall, powerful man, resuctably dressed, described on the police sheet as Angus Gillies, 35 years of age, who was stated to have been a constable of the A divi sion of the Metropolitan Police, and also to have be longed to the constabulary of Edinburgh and Glasgow, was brought up before the sitting magistrate, in the cus tody of police-constable Wyness, D 43, who had appre hended him in Inverness-shire, in Scotland, on a chargo of having stolen the sum of 1651. in Bank of England notes, the property of Mrs. Mary Lewis, of No. 3, Chapel-side, Bayswater, under peculiar circumstances. Tho warrant upon which the prisoner was apprehended was issued at this court by Mr. Poynter, about the com mencement of December last. Bits. Mary Lewis, a wo man of respectable appearance, about sixty years of age, stated on that occasion that the prisoner, to whom she was engaged to be married, came to her on the 25th of November last, at Bayswater, for the purpose of going to take a coffee-shop oa Ludgate-hill, for the goodwill of which they had paid a deposit of 5/. a day or two previously. She had then just sold out 1701. in the Three per Cents. at the Bank, which she had in her possession. When they were about to start, the pri soner told her that she had better give him the money, to which she replied, "Very well, Mr. Gillis*, as you will have to pay it, 111 teive it to you;" and dye forthwith gave him fifteen 101. and three 51. Bank of England notes. They then went together to Ludgate hill, to the coffee-shop, and, atter examining the property they were about to take, they went into a private room to settle the affair. While there the prisoner all at once jumped up from his seat, apparently in a great fright, and said, " My God, I have lost my book, containing the money." She immediately said, "That is impossible, for we have been nowhere for you to lose it." The pri soner then said," I must have dropped it in your room," and asked her for the key of her room, saying he would go back and see for it. He then went away alone, and she waited a long while until he came back, when he soid it was not there, and he must have dropped it on the road. They then went together to the Bank, and got the numbers of the notes and stopped them, when they walked home together. On the following Friday she again saw him, when the prisoner said he would go to Brentford to try if he could borrow the mosey, since which time she had not seen him, and she had reason to believe that at the time he so obtained the money from her he intended to steal it. On the prisoner being plaoed at the bar, Sergeant Cumming, 1) division, applied to have him remanded for a fortnight or three weeks, to afford time for getting up witnesses neoessary to prove the case from Liverpool and Scotland. Mr. PAYNTER said, it would not under those circum stances be necessary to enter into the case that day, be yond reading the original statement of Mrs. Lewis, and taking the evidence of the police-constable as to the pri soner's apprehension. Police_constable Wyness, D 43, after the statement given above was read, deposed that he apprehended the prisoner on the morning of Sunday, the 29th of Decem ber last, at Amsig, in Inverness-shire.. On taking him into custody he read the warrant to hi m, whoa the pri soner said if he had anything belonging to Mrs. Lewis she could have it again. Mr. FATNTZII inquired if any portion of the property had been recovered ? Wyness said, he had since traced six 101. and two 31. notes, which were now in the custody of the sheriff substitute of the county, and also 40 sove reigns. In tke prisoner's boxes was also found a quan tity of new wearing apparel, also tire-arms, gunpowdea, and skot, and on his person 281. in gold and 12s. 6d. in Ave* The prisoner applied to have a portion of the gold found on him at the time of his apprehension given up, to enable him to engage a legal adviser to conduct his defence. He also wished a bill of exchange for 63/., which was found on him, payable at sight, should be given up. Mr. PAYNTER told him he should have ei dry facility afforded him to prepare for his defence, contiat nt with the ends of justice. He could not order the SOL. or any part to be given to him ; but, if the 631. biii m paid, the police might give him part of the sum ga ining beyond the amount of the robbery, to enable RI - 12 to get up his defence. The prisoner was then remanded until next Thursday fortnight, the 30th inst., by which time it is expected all the necessary witnesses will be in attendaw!e.

Both Hay and Straw moved off slowly, at the above quotations. Ctn. SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been heavy, only about 300 hhds having been sold at rather easier prices. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 1,915 bags Bengal, 5,926 bags Manilla, and 385 boxes da maged Havannah. The Bengal only partly found buyers at about previous rates, but, being chiefly in small lots, and a great portion sulphury, it affords no guide to the [market generally. All the sound Manilla was taken in above the value, viz., at 20s to 20s 6d for low to mid greyish yellow clayed ; about 500 bags damaged brought lgs 6d to 19s ; the Havannah sold at 18s to 21s 6d for good brown to good greyish yellow, which are former rates, The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 256 hhds 45 tierces 95 barrels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,110 hhds 89 tierces 157 barrels.

There were taken for home consumption 195 puns 21 hhdi, and exported 226 puns 54 hhds. the stock in the same plaees is 10,236 puns 1.206 hbds. TALLOW. — The niurti et i quiet. P Y. C. at 40s pet cwt ilO spot, and Town at 44s per cwt. TSCA.—The market is firm, and the consumption is increasing. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 14.) SCGAA.—Today there was little alteration in the value of West India Sugar; but the business trans acted was extremely limited, and which was owing to the dark state of the weather preventing the samples from being properly inspected ; a public sale of 106 hhds 3 trcs of Barbadoes was in consequence postponed. MAURITIUS.—A better demand has been experienced for this description of Sugar, but the market has been well supplied, particularly with bright yellow qualities ; previous rates are fully supported, indeed, in several in stances, good and fine yellow fetched 6d per cwt advance. At auction 8,010 ba a 278 casks were all sold—fine yel low at 62s to 655, good mid and good 56s 6cl to 60s, mid 53s 6d to 565, low 52s to 535, fine brown 51s to 51s 6d, , low and very low dark brown 36s 6d to 40s per cwt; nearly the whole consisted of middling, good and fine yellow. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 3,872 bags, were submitted to pub lic competition ; white all sold at steady rates—that is to say, file at 66s to 66s 6d, good 63s to 655, mid 61s to 625, low 595, damp and washed 58s to 64s 6d, sound grey 595, mid yellow 55s to 56s 6d, but the brown. of which the bulk consisted, only partly found buyers at former terms; mid sound at 42s to 42s 6d, low damp 38s to 39s 6d. and mid to good 41s to 44s per cwt. A public sale of 5,000 bags of Madras, and two of 2,100 white Bengal were postponed i❑ consequence of the dark state of the weather preventing the samples from being properly inspected. FOREIGN.—YeIIow Havannah Sugar has been much inquired for, but business has been checked by the short supply at market, and the stiff rates that are insisted upon. 1,000 boxes have been sold pri vately since Tuesday last at 21s 6d to 23s for mid dling to fine quality. At auction 1,197 chests were put up, the damaged amounting to 535 chests sold at 19s 6d to 21s 6d for slightly, and at 18s to 20s for da maged, but the sound was taken in above the value, middling and good middling at 21s 6d to 22s 6d, ordi nary 19s 6d to 21s, and fine brown 19s per cwt, but the chief part has since been sold at these rates. Brazil good and fine Bahia realised 18s to 19s, and white 20s 6d to 24s 6d for fine quality. In other sorts there has been rather more business transacted at previous quotations. REFINED.—To-day the home trade were less inclined to purchase Refined Goods, and there was more desire on the part of refiners to sell. Brown Lumps at 725, and Standard Lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is greatly want, d at 31s per cwt, but at which there are no sellers. MoLAssEs. —West India is much wanted, but a fur ther advance in prices being required, has tended to check business ; the salts amount to 300 puns. chiefly at 23s 6d per cwt for Antigua, being fully the former worb. East India are inquired for at 14s to 17s per cwt. The stock of all sorts is diminishing, and holders manifest firmness. RlcE.—This afternoon Importers of Beng•sl Rice were 'pore inclined to realise, and 1550 pockets 1764 bags at. public sale were mostly sold at a decline of 6d per cwt, mid white went at lOs 6d to Ils, good mid lls to Ils 6d, second and third class 9s to 10s, fourth class Bs, sea damaged and repacked 8s to 8s 6d per ewt. COFFEE.—West India is not much wanted at present for home consumption, and the market has been better supplied this day week, still holders have refus.,d to re duce their prices for clean sorts, but for unclean Bcrlnce a decline on the former value of 2s to 3s per cat has taken place ; the quantity of Coffee brought forward has proved more than sufficient for the wants of the trade. This afternoon at public sale 250 bags of Manilla Coffee were sold at 36s to 36s 6d for fine ordinary pale, 34s 6d sea damaged first class, 34s for second class, 29s for third class, and 30s for sea damaged and repacked. Ceylon met with attention, and 43i bags at public sale were all sold at very full rates ; good ordinary pale went at 52s to 52s 6d, dark Plantation 55s to 51s, fine yellow 86s 6d, mid 72s 6d. 165 bags of bulked Bahia were taken in, good ord 29s to 325, ord 26s fid to 275, and triage 253 per cwt. TEA.—Merchants still show firmness, and none h^.s been offered at public sale, and at present there is no thing declared, but the market is not so brisk as it was. To-day there was little inclination to purchase Tea, but merchants insisted upon full rates, common sound Congou was not to be purchased under lld, Twanßay Is 3d, and clean Pouchong 7d per lb. Duty has been paid at this port on 419,7001b5, during the past week. Cocol.—The :market has become quiet for West India, but merchlints will not take lower rates, on ac count of the smallness of the stock. At auction a part only of 459 bags of Trinidad found buyers at the former currency ; good middling and good red at 48s to 50s, middling 44s to 465 6d, low 42s 6d to 43s 6d, and grey 41s to 43s per cwt. Foreign, however, is much wanted, and the supply being small, a further advance has taken place in prices. At auction 80 bags Bahia fetched 37s to 39s per cwt for good red. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—There has been a good business transacted in Calcutta Rum. In Leewards several purchases made, proof selling at '2s 21d to 2s 3d per gallon. In Demerara the transactions are upon a more extended scale, at 3s 3d for 32 to 33 per cent over proof. In Jamaica 300 puns have been disposed of-28 to 33 per cent overproof at 3s 6d to 3s 8d for fair and middling quality, and 33 to 35 per cent over at 4s per gallon for good. In Brandy an increased business has been transacted ; an advance in prices of Id per gallon has taken place for the best descriptions ; inferior and middling are held with firmness. We quote Cognac best brands, of the vintage of 1838, hhds 5s 3d, puns 5s Id ; ditto, 1839, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto, 1840, hhds ss, puns 4s 10d ; ditto, 1841, hhds 4s 11d, puns 4s 9d; do 1842, hhds 4s Bd, puns 4s 6d; do 1843, hhdi 4s 6d, puns 4s 4d; common, 2s 8d to 2s Ild; mid to good middling, 3s to 3s 10d; and Bordeaux common, 2s 6d to 2s 8d per gallon. Of Geneva the stock here is small; prices are in consequence firm; shipping sort Is 10d to Is I Id, and fine 2s 6d to 3s 6d. For English Corn Spirits lOs 2d per gallon, cash, is readily obtained, and lOs 3d for small quantities. To-day some parcels of Calcutta Rum were sold at 2s to 2s ld, and Leewards at 2s 21d to 2s 3d per gallon, proof. There were several inquiries for Jamaica, but the rates offered were such that holders would not accept. FRUIT.—To-day there was much activity in the Cur rant market, and a further advance took place in prices, Patras fetching 49s to 51s, and Zante and Cephalonia 48s per cwt.

The situation of this important feature in our naval establishment has been so often of late described, that we shall not trouble our readers with an account of it, but proceed at once to the ceremony of laying the stone, which weighed 7 tons, is 9 feet long by 7 feet 2 inches wide, and 2 feet 3 inches thick ; this was suspended by strong chains from double three-sheaved blocks over the spot intended as its station, which was at the corner of the area under the old boat house, so that the atone forms the corner-stone, on the N.N.E. side of the structure. The foundation is at about 40 feet from the surface of the yard, and it is only near the spot abo►e-mentioned that the excavations have pro ceeded to their fullest extent. On the right side of the stone, or descending the steps leading to the area, was erected a spacious tooth, capable of accommodating some hundreds of spectators, which consisted of the elite of the port and garrison, invited specially to witness the cere mony. This was tastefully fitted up, and embellished with evergreens and flags, and the seats covered with scarlet cloth. The Royal Marines' band was in attend ance, and until the commencement of the ceremony en livened the scene with various popular airs. There were three brass plates let into the stone, bearing inscriptions, containing the names of the superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard at Portsmouth, the date of the cere mony, the names of the Lords of the Admiralty, of the officers in command at Portsmouth, &c. The chaplain of the St. Vincent having offered up an appropriate prayer, the usual formalities upon such oc casions were gone through, and Admiral Parker having applied the square, plumb-rule, and mallet, as also re ceived a silver trowel from Mr. P. Rolt, with which he applied the usual amount of mortar used by foundation stone layers, the ponderous mass was lowered into its base, the band struck up the National Anthem, and a deafening roar from the throats of the assembled multi tude completed the work. Admiral Parker then re ceived a glass of champagne (which was liberally dis tributed to the invited spectators) from Mr. Rolt, and drank " Success to the beginning of this magnificent basin, and I trust it will conduce to the defence of the country." This was responded to with cheers, and ter minated the proceedings. The Harlequin, 16, Commander Ilastincr ° s, arrived from Devonport yesterday with specie ; she brought up at Spithead and saluted, and came into harbour this after noon to land her treasure, which will proceed to the Mint to-morrow under an escort of the 59th. The Rhadamantb us steam-transport, Master-Comman der Laen, arrived from Plymouth yesterday with invalids (from Cork), and left to day for the eastward. MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT SHEER- NESS. Considerable excitement exists at Sheerness at pre sent in consequence of the sudden death of a young and handsome Jewess, a daughter of Samuel Russell, a gene ral dealer of Mile-town, under circumstances of a very suspicious nature. An inquest was held on Thursday before Mr. Hinde, coroner for East Kent. Mrs. Russell examined—l am the mother of the de ceased, Esther Russell. She was in her 23d year. She gave birth to a child on the morning of Tuesday, the 7th instant. One of two younger sisters, respectively five and six years of age, who have slept with her for the last nine months, first announced her illness to me. On going t , ) see I was shccked to find she had given birth to a child ; she held it up to me and said, ".See, mother." It was dead. She complained of being faint. I gave her some tea, and afterwards some gin-and-water. She be same more and more faint, and died on the arrival of the surgeon. I did not know that she was pregnant, nor did I know that my neighbours suspected her being so. No one ever hinted such a thing in my presence. A juryman—Mrs. Russell, don't you remember your being present one day when I taxed Esther in your own house with being in such a state ? Mrs. Russell—l do not. I have no reason to suspect that she took anything to do away with herself. Samuel Russell examined—l am the father of the deceased Esther Russell. I generally go to bed about ten o'clock. About four o'clock I was reused to see Esther. I was shocked on perceiving the nature of her illness, and asked why I was not previously informed of this. She replied, "0, father, you have had enough to trouble you without this. 0, the villain that deceived me I" On her becoming very ill I ran for the nearest doctor, but before he arrived she was dead. I never knew she was pregnant till the morning of the day previous to her death. Dr. James Potter examined—l am a surgeon in gene • ral practice at Sheerness. On Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock, I was called in great haste by Mr. Russell, and accompanied him to his house. On the way he observed he was afraid she would be dead before we arrived. I did not know whether it was his wife or his daughter he alluded to. On my arrival I found the young woman dead, and a new-born infant dead by her side. I did not make any examination beyond ascer taining whether she was in life or not. The child was cold and stiff, and must have been dead for several hours. The navel string was cut ; it was not torn ; it was not tied. There was no appearance of parturition having so lately occurred. Her dress was clean and duly arranged. lam opinion that she must have been dead for an hour at least before my arrival. The child must have been dead four h ours a t l e a s t. Without a post mortem examination, I am not prepared to assert the cause of death. —Adjourned. SUICIDE. On Monday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Gun makers' Arms, Bow-lane, Mile-end New Town, on the body of James Dodson, aged 21 years. Mrs. Mary Ann Kemp (deceased's aunt) deposed that the deceased was a hairdresser. He was lately in the employ of Mr. Lawrence, of Deptford, whose service he quitted about two . months since, previous to which he had been paying his addresses to a young female, named Braybrooke. On the 4th of December last he paid her a visit at her . mother's house, i n Ann's-pl a ce, Hackney road. At that time he appeared much dejected, and cried bitterly. When witness inquired the cause, de ceased replied, sullenly, "It is all right." He shortly afterwards went out with his intended, and walked as far as the post office, in the Hackney-road, when he posted three letters, one of which, as subsequently turned out, was addressed to witness, and was as follows : " Mrs. Kemp, " December 4, 1844. " Dear Aunt,—l have wrote these few lines to you to tell you that I have stood it as long as I could. Door James lies in Ben Jonson's cut (Regent's canal). God bless you. God bless mother, sisters, and God bless my brother and sister-in-law. "POOR JAMES." A second letter was addressed to Miss Braybrooke, the female in whose company be was when he posted it, and was as under— " Dear Hannah,—l have wrote these few lines to let you know I have stood it as long as I could, but I could not stand it longer. " POOR JAMES." " Farewell relations and friends also. The tine is now short. I must go—but as for love I have but one, and to that same I have done no wrong. Dear Hannah, God bless you. "J. DoDsoN." Witness, on the receipt of the first mentioned letter, had the Regent's-canal dragged without effect. The body of deceased, howaver, was discovered yesterday morning near Ben Jonson's Lock, close to the spot where he had stated it would lie.—Verdict, " Found drowned." LovE AND SUICIDE. — The festival of Christmas at Glogau has been marked by a tragic event. A young man, named Pflieger, clerk in the office of a M. Wach seler, had fallen in love with his master's daughter, and his affection being returned, they were secretly affianced. Pflieger had a passion for gambling, and being unable to satisfy it, had robbed his master of 6,000 thalers (1,0001.) and fled. On Christmas-eve he returned, and had an interview with Madlle. Wachseler, and both seeing their union impossible, resolved to commit suicide next morning. Accordingly they met in a neighbour ing wood, and he having a brace of double-barrelled pistols, loaded each barrel with a double charge and two bullets. Each were to discharge both barrels into the mouth. The young girl fired. and expired immediately; but Pflieger, at the moment of pulling the trigger, was seized with a trembling, and fainted. The report of the girl's pistol attracted a crowd, and Pflieger was arrested, and conducted to prison. The next morning, when the gaoler entered his cell with his breakfast, he found him a corpse, for during the night Pflieger had hung himself to the bars of his cell with his silk handkerchief.— Gazette des Tribunaux. MURDER AND HICIIWAT ROBBERY.—On Monday information was received at Bow-street, and thence cir culated throughout the Metropolitan Police Force, that on New Year's eve Mr. Thomas Peacop, a corn and flour dealer, was, whilst on his return from his shop, in Rockferry-lane, to his residence, near the New F err y_ turnpike, in the township of Higher Bebbington, in the county of Chester, attacked by three mea and robbed. The villains beat Mr. Peacop to such an extent about the bead, and other parts of the body, that he he died on the 4th inst. None of the offenders are known, but a re ward of 2001. has been offered (100/. by the Government) for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders. Her Majesty's gracious pardon will be extended to any accomplice (not being the person who gave the mortal blow) who will give evidence that will lead to the same result. --- The Court of the Painters (otherwise Painters' and Shiners' Company) lately presented the clerk, Mr, P.
