SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—A reference to Lord Stanley's appoint ments will prove his preference for the navy, inter rupted occasionally by an infidelity in favour of a scarlet coat—exceptions to the rule more apparent than real, perhaps. The nautical finance of Captain Fitzroy in New Zealand enjoys a pendant in the currency regulations at Cape Coast, in Guinea, which settlement was this year blessed by being placed under the immediate control of the Colonial-office (it had been for many years previously governed by a committee of Loodon and local merchants), Lord Stanley sending out, as first Governor, Commander Hill, R.N. The currency of Guinea is regulated by a gold standard—all transactions of moment being valued in ounces of gold and in ackies (the 1-16th part of an ounce) ; the smaller business of life being managed by cowries, Indian shells, of which there are some fifty to a penny sterling. These, however, are com monly moneys of account only—trade being barter, and pieces of cotton cloth (romauls) are in general circulation ; they were formerly used even to pay the troops. In short, money's worth is given for money's worth only, or for what will pro cure money's worth from the European merchant. Lord Stanley and his naval Governor view with disdain this uncivilised system ; and Mr. Gladstone, the Master of the Mint, is ordered to pack up chests of silver pieces worth three-halfpence each, of copper farthings and half-farthings, which it is proposed to introduce hito the monetary system of Africa through the military and civil departments of Cape Coast Castle, whose inferior servants are to be paid in these coins 1 Fancy our sable brother, disgracefully ignorant of Ricardo and Torrens, and of the incalculable advan tages of a metallic currency—who had never received fur his palm oil, his bunch of plantains, or his day's work, anything but a yard of cotton, which he could twist round his waist, a piece of lead with which to sink his fishing-net, or to be cut into a musket slug, or some course shells, which are the favourite orna ment and (therefore) the universal currency of the interior--fancy a man who never had received anything not intrinsically useful to himself or his neighbour, gazing at Captain Hill's copper half-farthings or three-halfpenny silver—things unknown to and rejected by his neighbours, and objectional even as not of that substantial bulk which constitutes, in a country of clumsy fingers, and destitute of locks and pockets, one of the essential merits of a currency! He would as readily perceive the value of Captain Fitzroy's assig nets as of these atoms, inconvertible to any end. Time may lead him to discover that the silver spangles are fractional parts of a dollar, but there is no hope of his ever taking to the half-farthings. Ly curgus's iron money may have been as inconvenient (though our Ashantee or Fantee friend would prefer it), but that was avowedly issued "as a restraint on ex cessive speculation" —as our solemn Premier would ex press it. However, Capt. Hill having a vile corpus, the local corps, on which to experiment, and compelling them to receive pay in this money, they in their turn compelled, no doubt after " awful sacrifices" and tre mendous palaver, their creditors to receive it; and these poured it as legal tender into the coffers of the European merchants. After taking the trash to an inconvenient amount, the merchants bethought themselves of asking the Governor to receive it again for Government bills on England. His Ex cellency declined compliance, giving the gratifying reason that he was not yet in want of money—in other words, that he had yet stores of the trash in his strong boxes. On a merchant replying that he must then refuse to take any more, Captain Hill retorted, that a refusal to take the " current coin of the realm " would expose him to a fine; and that if the merchants refused to take " his " money, he would get Yankees to settle there who " would be glad of the chance !" This was assuredly an old menace from an officer placed to protect British interests and commerce ; but the science displayed in the remark is more interest ing, bringing tts back, as it does, to the type of Cap tain Hill's half-farthings and Captain Fitzroy's two shilling notes, the French assignats, the projectors and issuers of all three being evidently assured that nothing but sheer stupidity or deep villainy could prompt any one to refuse their valuable issue. It appears to have been to carry out this philosophic finance that Captain Hill broke his promise to Sir George Stephen, of returning to England in the first ship after his arrival. Sir George's disappointment is one in which the colony of Cape Coast must deeply sympathise. STANDARD.—The decision of the Board of Heads of Houses and Proctors at Oxford has had the rare good fortune of giving general satisfaction. This Is pleasant so far ; b u t it i s rat h er i nv idi ous to com pliment so emphatically as some of our Whig-Ra dical Contemporaries compliment the Board—a body of educated gentlemen—for acting with good sense and in a just and honourable spirit. For ourselves, we never had a doubt of the line the Board would take, and therefore perhaps it is that we are less struck with the formal announcement of it. We hare heard of hut one objection whispered against the Board's decision, which we will give in the words of the objector :—" The most objectionable point in the proposed proceeding regarding Mr. Ward's book is that with which the case opens—' Whereas it is notoriously reputed and believed throughout this University, that a book, &c., has recently been pub lished in Oxford, by the Rev. W. G. Ward, M.A.' It were a hard thing formally to proceed against a man upon mere notoriety and general belief. Mr. Ward has, indeed, obviated the difficulty in his case by avowing, under his own hand in a letter to the Vice- Chancellor, that the book was written by him, but the accusation in its present firm stands awkwardly for a precedent, ‘ and we s h ou ld gladly see it amended." The cas e i s pro b a bl y without 'precedent, because the attempted obstruction to justice is without prece dent, for we suppose that never before was what we may call the effrontery of pettifogging carried so far as for a man to refuse acknowledging a book adver tised, printed, and published with his name in the title-page, and for months publicly offered for sale in the shop of every book seller in the town in which he resided. In the absence, however, of precedent, recourse is always had to the analogy of the law. Now the law pro vides that declarations made in the presence of a party accused are to be received as evidence against him, not as conclusive evidence, but as evi dence to go to a jury, illustrated by the circumstances of the culprit's demeanour when the declarations were made. Now it will not be denied that the advertising, the printing, the publishing, and the exposing for sale in shop windows openly during months in the place of his residence, of a book with a man's name in the title-page, is a sufficiently distinct declaration made in the man's presence, and as such, according to the ana logy of the law, very proper evidence to be adduced against him ; he, of course, being free to prove, if he ean, that he disowned the work, or that sickness, or some other adequate cause prevented his knowing that such a book was imputed to him. Such noto riety as Mr. Ward's book, and Mr. Ward's name in the title-page, had in Oxford, supersedes the neces sity of any formal proof. The presumption that a man will not allow a book to be advertised, printed, and published, and for months sold in his name is so strong, that strong proof must be adduced to rebut it, and in another analogous case, even the strongest rebutting proof is not allowed to be sufficient. Suppose Mr. Ward to have but once promenaded Oxford with a lady whom he permitted to repre sent herself as Mrs. Ward, to have visited in com pany with his fair companion the well-supplied shops of Mr. Loder or Mr. Spiers, in the High strket ; and suppose that his lady had thought fit to run up a heavy bill with Mr. Loder or Mr. Spiers, in the name of Mr. Ward, the Rev. Gentle man must pay every farthing of the bill. It would not serve him to prove his obligation of celibacy as a Fellow of Balliol, nor his more solemn vows of celibacy, taken no doubt, in the hands of Doctor Pusey and Mr. Newman, to demand the lady's marriage certificate, or to give the most satisfactory proof in the world that his acquaintance with the fair debtor was the slightest possible. He had allowed her, though for a single moment, to represent herself as Mrs. Ward, the lady of the Rev. Mr. Ward, of Balliol ; and the inexorable law would compel him to settle her ac count with Messrs. Loder and Spiers, and to pay all her other debts, though due to persons who had never before heard of his name. Such is the weight which the law allows to notoriety in such matters. But surely if it is just that a nian is liable for all the debts of a lady whom he has allowed to bear his name, for it may be only half an hour, he is justly liable for the contents of a book which he has suffered to bear his name for half a year. There is, therefore, neither hardship nor repugnancy to the principles of law in presuming his authorship of it, from the noto rious publication of a book with a man's name in the title-page; and it is absolutely necessary to do so in dealing with the members of a party who have moulded their morality upon a system of simulation and dissimulation, and who would find it very conve nient to combine at once all the credit of an inge nuous and daring frankness with the security of ela borate chicane.

There are many candidates in the field for the vacant post, ready, like their predecessor, to sacrifice moral dignity and pecuniary risk, to enjoy the exclusive honour of being patronized by a leading personage of the fashion able world, and of being permitted to open their salon s to those, and those only, whom their patron may select. —Court Journal. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yes terday, at his official residence in Downing-street. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 18 184 i. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. FOREIGN-OFFICE, DEC. 13, 1844. The Queen has been graciously pleased to nominate and appoint William Gore Ouseley, Esq. (now Secretary to her Majesty's Legation at Rio Janeiro), to be her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary to the Argentine Con federation. LAW INTELLIGENCE, COURT OI QUEEN'S BENCH, _Dec. 17. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at the Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a London Speeial Jury.) TOTTIE V. lIOLMES AND ALLEN. The plaintiff in this case is a civil engineer, and t defendants are attorneys, carrying on business in Bed ford-row. The action was brought to recover the amount of a bill sent in by the plaintiff to the defendants of 1,806/. 13s. 9d., for engineering, which he alleged he had been employed by the defendants to perform. It appeared that somewhere about the latter end of 1842, the defen dants, who were attorneys, thought it would be advan tageous to form a railway to be called the Middlesex and Surrey Grand Junction Railway Company, and en tered into communication on the subject with the plain tiff; who was to be the engineer to the proposed company, and with a Mr. Smith, who was to be the secretary. The original plan was for a railway from Southall to Twick enham, with a branch to Richmond. Tottie was at that time about to leave the service of the Eastern Counties Railway, and he undertook to make the survey. He then suggested that it would be advantageous to extend the railway so as to make it a junction railway, joining all the railways approacihng the metropolis. The propo sition was acceded to, and the surveys were made for the formation of a line from Harrow to Reigate, thus con necting the Birmingham, the Great Western, and the Dover lines. These surveys were deposited with the clerk of the peace. During this time the defendants had paid plaintiff 50/. a month according to agreement, and he had received from them 6301. in all. The company was formed, and plaintiff was appointed engineer, but the scheme was finally given up in the beginning of the present year, and then the plaintiff had brought this action. The plans were put in, as were various letters which had passed between plaintiff and defendants. A witness, named Burleigh, who had been employed by plaintiff, proved that the work had been done ; and Mr. Braithwaite, the engineer to the Eastern Counties Rail way, deposed that the plans were most carefully exe cuted, and that the charges were such as were usually made. For the defence, it was contended that the 630/. which had been paid to the plaintiff by defendants was all that he was entitled to by agreement, inasmuch as it was proved from his letters that he had agreed to take 50/. a month, as the amount of his expenses from the de fendants , and that he looked for his profits to the pro posed company. He had undertaken to make the sur veys in the hope of being appointed engineer to the company, in the same manner as the defendants had undertaken the legal portion of the business in the hope of becoming solicitors to the proposed company, and as Mr. Smith had executed his duties in the hope of being appointed secretary ; and therefore he had no claim upon defendants beyond the 501. a month, which he had agreed to accept for the expenses incurred, and which they had regularly paid him. In the course of his speech, Mr. MARTIN, who ap peared for the defendants, read several documents signed by plaintiff; one of which stated that he should look to the Provisional Board of Directors, as soon as such should be formed, for his remuneration ; and another, that, in consideration of a note of hand from Messrs. Allen and Holmes for 1001., which he had received, he exonerated them from all liabilities up to that date. At the conclusion of Mr. Martin's address, the jury intimated that they were prepared to deliver their ver dict; and a hint was thrown out by Lord Denman as to the possibility of coming to some settlement. A con. sultation took place, and it was ultimately arranged the a juror should be withdrawn. The Queen has also been graciously pleased to nomi nate and appoint John Fiennes Crampton, Esc. (now First Paid Attach 6 to her Majesty's Embassy at Vienna), to be Secretary to her Majesty's Legation to the Confe derated States of the Swiss Cantons. The Queen has also been graciously pleased to nomi nate and appoint Francis Farrant, Esq., to be Secretary to her Majesty's Legation at the Court of Persia. DOWNING-STREET, DEC. 16. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Denis Benja min Viger, Esq., to be President of the Committee of the Executive Council of Canada. Her Majesty has also been pleased to appoint Henry Sherwood, Esq., to be her Majesty's Solicitor-General for that part of the Province of Canada formerly called Upper Canada. Her Majesty has also been pleased to appoint R. Y. Cummins, Esq., to be Accountant to the Surveyor- General's Department for the Island of Mauritius. Her Majesty has further been pleased to appoint William Dudley Ryder, Esq., to be Assistant Secretary for the Island of Ceylon. CROWN-OFFICE, DEc. 16. The Queen has been pleased to appoint William Fuller Boteler, Esq., one of her Majesty's Counsel learned in the Law, to be one of the Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy, to act in the prosecution of Fiats in Bankruptcy in the Country, in the place of Edward Goulburn, Sergeant-at-Law, resigned.

The requisition to Lord Belhaven, 6 in compliance with which the meeting was called, 10 contained upwards of two thousand signatures; a Ti fact which we trust will not be without its influence of 4 upon the Government. The whole proceedings were, moreover, characterised by the most cordial unanimity—another fact which ought also to have its effect in the proper quarter. There was not much oratory at the meeting. Those 4% % who attended it were men o f business, who met to transact business ; and as there was not one among them who had not made up his mind upon and 734 thoroughly understood the question, there was no 5% necessity for any displays of elocution to convince the wavering, or enlighten the ignorant. The resolutions which they passed are the most clear, able, and cona ;y: plete expositions of the real state of the matter that we have yet seen, and might, with great advantage, he taken as models for all future meetings that may r u be called to consider this subject. The county of Lanark, the wealthiest and most populous of Scotland, % feeling the importance of its unanimous voice upon the question, has set to work in a vigorous manner. We are informed that every parish in Lanarkshire will be % called up to sign the petition—and in addition to this, % copies of the resolutions and petition are to be for t warded to the Con vener o f every county i n S co tl an d, cv with a recommendation t o ge t th e m adopted, and signed in every district. Were this plan carried out, as we trust it will be, an opposition to the inter ference of Government would be raised, as powerful as that of 1826—the old national spirit of Scotland would be awakened, and the Minister would be com pelled ~ to leave us a l one i n the en j oyment o f a prospe '4 ray which his theories might shake, but could never have created.—Glasgow Argus. 4 Mr. Watson conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Martin appeared for the defendants. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Hew Byrne, the captain of a merchant vessel, sur rendered to answer an indictment passed under the Act of Parliament of the sth and 6th William IV., commonly called the Merchant Seaman's Act, charg ing him with having unlawfully deserted Charles Robert Rowe, one of the seamen on board his vessel, at Port Nelson, without lawful cause, and not having a certificate from the authorities of that place autho rising him to do so. Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defendant. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evidence of the first mate of the vessel, it appeared that the defendant was the captain of a barque called the Himalaya, and in the beginning of 1843 he was about to sail on a voyage to New Zealand and South America. Rowe, it seems, was a lad eighteen or nineteen, and having a strong desire to go to sea, contrary to the wish of his friends, they at length consented, and his father placed him in the charge of the defendant, and he was rated as an ordi nary seaman, and sailed in that capacity. Nothing particular occurred until the vessel arrived at New Plymouth, when Rowe went on shore, and, on his not returning, it was found necessary to send the con stables after him, and he was brought by force on board the ship. He then expressed his regret for what had occurred, and promised amendment ; and he again resumed his duty and sailed to Port Nelson, but on the way thither the crew broke open a cask which contained a quantity of bottled porter, and the complainant was found to be drunk in the hold, and a bottle of the beer was dis covered on his chest. On his being remon strated with by the captain he was insolent, and said he would not do any more duty; and upon the vessel arriving at Port Nelson he was taken before a magis trate, and charged with neglecting his duty and getting drunk, and the magistrate fined him twenty shillings, and in default sentenced him to be impri soned for ten days; and at the expiration of this period, as the complainant did not come on board the vessel, the defendant sailed without him. In cross examination the witnesses said that the complainant had repeatedly said, while at Port Nelson, that he would never go on board the -- ship again, and that when the constable attempted to take him down to the beach, he resisted him, and got away. It was admitted that the defendant had not obtained of the magistrate at Port Nelson the certificate which would, in law, have justified him in leaving the man behind. Mr. CLARKSON, in his address to the jury on be half of the defendant, commented, in his usual able manner, upon the facts that had been disclosed in the course of the case, but at the same time said he was fearful he could not rescue his client from a verdict of guilty, inasmuch as he had not acted up to the strict letter of the Act of Parliament, in obtaining a certi ficate of the magistrate at Port Nelson. He argued, however, that it was perfectly clear the complainant had virtually abandoned the vessel, and that he never intended to return to his duty, and the extent of the offence imputed to the defendant was, that he had neglected to apply for a certificate to that effect, which he would, no doubt, easily have obtained, and this would have entirely shielded him from the present charge. He said that his client was exceedingly anxious for the sake of his character that he should lay before the jury some evidence in support of this statement, and although he, the Learned Counsel, was fearful that it could not weigh with the jury in their ultimate de cision, yet it would be a satisfaction to the defendant and his friends to have it shown that he was not guilty of the wanton and reckless conduct of wilfully deserting one of his seamen in a foreign land. Mr. French, the surgeon of the vessel, and other witnesses were then called, and they deposed that when the period of the complainant's imprisonment at Port Nelson had expired, endeavours were made to get him on board the vessel, but he refused to go, and repeatedly, with an oath, declared that he would never go on board the ship again, and that he resisited the constable with considerable violence when he at tempted to convey him on board. Mr. E. R. Arthur, the owner of the Himalaya, proved that the defendant had sailed in her for five years, and had, during the whole of that time, conducted himself with very great propriety ; and also that he was particularly humane and attentive to his crew. Several other respectable witnesses also gave the defendant a high character for general good conduct, and particularly for humanity and attention to the wants of his crew. The RECORDER, in summing up, said there did n - A appear to be any imputation upon the character or conduct of the defendant out of this transaction; but it appeared clear, from the evidence, he had not ful filled that duty the Act of Parliament under which the indictment was found, and which had a very im portant object, required of him. It was very neces sary for the protection of seamen engaged in the merchant service, that the Act of Parliament should be strictly carried out ; and if the jury believed the evidence, it was clear the defendant had infringed its provisions, and that he had neglected his duty in not obtaining a certificate from the magistrate at Port Nelson, stating, if it really were the case, that the complainant had deserted the vessel. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time strongly re commended the defendant to the merciful considera tion of the Court. The RECORDER sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 201. to the Queen. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant left the Court, accompanied by his friends. In the course of the day, the grand jury returned true bills against Joseph Elder and - William Burgess, for the forgery upon the Bank of England. DETENTION OF A HOUSEBREAKER.—A namesake of the celebrated Jack Sheppard was on Monday last apprehended by Superintendent Russell, at the Hen and Chickens, in this town. From information received by the superintendent, he thought it advisable to pay a passing visit to the house in question ; accordingly on the evening of Monday last he " dropped in," like Paul Pry, " hoping he did'nt intrude," and in a short time dropped on a very suspicious -looking personage, who, with his female companion, had been domiciling at that establishment since the previous Thursday. At the sight of the officer the veritable " Jack" became alarmed—and this circumstance, combined with the finding of seventeen skeleton keys and two jemmies, made out a case sufficiently strong to warrant the super intendant in apprehending him. This he accordingly did, and the next morning he was taken before the bench of magistrates, who considering " prevention far better than cure," dispatched the worthy to grind corn or wind, as the case might be, at the celebrated Northleach mill, for the term of three calendar mouths.—Cheltenham Journal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREED. Yesterday Mr. James James, saddler, No. 8, Bentinck street, Berwick-street, was summoned before Mr. Maltby, by Elizabeth Heslam, for an assault. The complainant, a good-looking Yorkshire girl, said she had lived with the defendant as servant for some weeks, during which period her master had made many amorous overtures to her, all of which she had rejected. Her master had also offered her money on several occa sions—first a shilling, next half-a-crown, and lastly a sovereign, which, acting under her mistress's sanction, who was put in possession of the defendant's proceedings, she consented to receive. On Friday last her mistress was sent for to attend her father, who was very ill, in order that she might remain all night. Before her mis tress left home she (complainant) told her she did not like to remain alone with her master in the house, but her mistress told her not to mind, but to take care how she allowed anything improper to occur. As soon as her mistress had left the house, the defendant came into the kitchen, and, after placing himself in a chair, began to pull her about. She resisted, and the defendant then got up and shut the door. The defendant gave her a sove reign, which she took, and he proceeded to attempt further liberties. The defendant was only induced to leave off his improper behaviour, on complainant telling him that some one was coming. As soon as complainant got rid of her master she called one of the boys, and told him she was going out of the house, and should not re turn all night. Complainant accordingly left the house, and did not enter it again until the next day, by which time her mistress had returned home. She immediately told her mistress of her master's behaviour, and also made her acquainted with the fact of his having given her a sovereign. Her mistress told her to keep the money, as nothing was freer than a gift, and then sent for her husband, that he might hear the charge against him. A soon as the defendant entered the room, com plainant said she began to tell the particulars of his con • duct to her on various occasions, but the defendant would not let her proceed, for he shook his fist at her in a me nacing manner, and then took her by the back of the neck and pushed her violently out of the place. Com plainant, at the suggestion of her mistress, applied for and obtained a summons for the assault. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said there was no truth in the girl's story. He had never attempted to take liberties, nor had he given her money at any time to induce her to comply with his solicitations. The fact was, that the girl came to him with a message from her mistress that she wanted a sovereign. He had given the girl the sovereign, and the girl had then gone out and had stopped away the whole night. Having ascer tained that the g i r l' s m i s t ress h a d not sent to him for the sovereign, and being very much irritated the next day when the girl made her appearance and trumped up a story to his wife, in order to cover her misconduct, he certainly did push her out of the house. Mr. MALTEY asked the defendant if he positively de nied having ever acted improperly to the girl ?—The defendant declared he never had touched her, or made improper proposals to her. Complainant—You know you have, many and many a time. When mistress was out the other day, did you not try to get at me in the bedroom, but you could not because I had locked the door ? Your worship, he never could pass me when I lived in the house without pulling my frock or laying hold of my neck. I was so disgusted with his behaviour that I told mistress about it. Mr. MALTBY—You say the defendant gave you money, and you took it ; for what purpose did he give you this money ? Complainant—He pretended to pity me at first. He said I was a poor girl, without friends, and if I wanted to buy myself some clothes he would give me money. He told me he would give me a sovereign any time I liked, and that he did not care about spending a hundred pounds to obtain anything he had set his mind upon. I told my mistress everything he said to me. The defendant called an errand boy as witness, but no thing of any consequence was elicited. At the suggestion of Mr. Maltby,fthe defendant con sented to send for his wife. The wife, who has much the advantage of the com plainant in point of :personal attractions, entered the Court and was examined. It was quite apparent that great reluctance on her part existed to state any matter unfavourable to her husband. She denied that the com plainant had taken out the summons at her request. She admitted, however, that the complainant had t o ld h er about the money ffered by the defendant, and the de fendant's declaration about spending 1004 to have his mind. She also admitted that she had told the com plainant to take all the money offered to her. Mr. MALTBY said he was satisfied that the complain ant's statement was true, and he should therefore inflict a fine of 51. or three months' hard labour. The defendant immediately paid the money. A Lieutenant-Colonel, who writes from Tunbridge, sent 14 for a poor distressed needlewoman, named Ed wards. 54 was put in the poor-box, at the request of the members of the Stock Exchange, being part of the money subscribed for an impostor named Carr, whose case ap peared under the head of Thames police. It was stated that the subscriptions for this woman and her family ex ceeded 2201. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday, Philip Baker, a gunner and driver of the Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich, was brought up in custody:and placed at the bar before the sitting magis trate, Mr. Rawlinson, charged with the following outrage : M‘Kay, a constable, in the employ of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, deposed that on the same morning, at a quarter past nine, the prisoner came very drunk into the booking-office at the Euston-square station, and insisted, although he had not taken a ticket, to pass through to the platform, with the view of going by the train ; he was told that he was not in a fit condi tion then to be allowed to enter either of the carriages, when he became extremely outrageous and abusive, and kicked witness with great force upon the groin. Inspector Challenor said that hearing of the assault which had been committed upon M'liay, he caused the prisoner to be conveyed to the Phomix-street station house, and while the charge was there being entered in the book by Sergeant Shaw, he suddenly seized hold of a poker, exclaiming, " Now I'll let you know who I am," and would in all probability have seriously injured him (the inspector) had not a man on " reserve" duty closed in upon him and wrested the poker from his grasp. The prisoner's excuse for his conduct was that he had partaken too freely of drink. He hoped the magistrate would be as lenient as possible. The MAGISTRATE fined him 405., or, in default of pay ment, a month's imprisonment. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday, Sarah Smith, a middle-aged woman, un , derwent a lengthened examination on several charges 41 robbery. Prisoner had been for the last four or five years en gaged as charwoman at the houses of several respect able persons at Chelsea and Brompton, and availed her self of the opportunity so afforded to plunder her em ployers to a considerable extent. Information of one of these robberies having been given to the police-sergeant Skelton, of the J 3 division, he went to the house of the prisoner, who had the reputation of being a very poor woman, and there found upwards of 501. in gold and silver, an acknowledgment for 1101. lent by her to a friend, a gold watch, some gold rings, and a great deal of property of various descriptions, among which were many articles identified by her landlady, and some of those who had employed her. Mrs. Elizabeth Ball, of 4, Queen-terrace, Marlborough road, Chealsea, said that the prisoner had been employed by her twice a week during the last twelve months. She had missed property at various times since the prisoner had been in the habit of coming backwards and forwards to her house, and identified six handkerchiefs, a pair of gloves, and other articles produced, as amongst the things she had missed. Mrs. Sarah King, of No. 1, Hive-street, Chelsea, baker, stated that prisoner had lodged in her house for eighteen months, but had left some time prior to her ap prehension. During the whole of that time she (witness) was continually being robbed of bread, flour, linen, and other articles. She, identified some knives, spoons, and silk cord, and, to the best of her belief, a wedding-ring pro duced was the one she had lost, and which prisoner pre tended to assist her in looking for at the time, express ing much sorrow for the distress she exhibited on the occasion. Mr. Todd, of No. 3, June-street, Chelsea, builder, proved that prisoner had been employed at his house, but had been sent away three months ago in consequence of repeated losses. Prisoner had thrown suspicion upon a girl who was in his service, in consequence of which the latter was discharged. He identified three pieces of satin paper, a silver pencil case, a gold snap, and other articles. Sergeant Skelton proved finding the articles above spoken to by the several prosecutors in prisoner's room. Mr. BOND inquired whether there were any other pro secutors in attendance? Skelton replied that the lady who owned the gold watch was not present. lb had a reticule belonging to another lady, who did not wish to prosecute. Prisoner was then committed for trial on the three cases above stated. On the application of prisoner's professional advisers (Mr. Miller, a barrister, and a Mr. William s ), th e f o rm e r of whom had cross-examined the witnesses, without eliciting anything favourabl e t o hi s c li en t, 201., was or dered to be given over to the prisoner out of the money found in her rooms. The Ecclesiastical Commission for England had a meeting yesterday at the office in Whitehall place. The Commissioners present were the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Llandaff, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Dean of Westminster. DUNKELD.— AFFECTING INCIDENT.—On Friday evening se'nnight a very melancholy and affecting cir cutrstar.ce happened in the little village of Cotlea, nearly opposite Murthly, on the north bank of the Tay. A wedding party belonging to the neighbourhood were passing through the village, some of whom, according to a most dangerous and foolish practice that still prevails in some parts •t the country, had pistols along with them, ier the purpo3e of ann •uncing the happy event of a marriage by firing them opposite every house they passed. When the report of the pistols was heard, several of the villagers of Cotlea, with candles in their hands—the even ing being dark—came to their doors to witness the gay party. When it arrived, one of those who had a pistol, either accidentally, or wishing to blow out a candle which a young woman was holding, discharged it, when the contents—wadding and powder—poured into her eye, and completely blew it out from the socket. The sad event has caused a deep gloom over the whole neigh bourhood, and, what renders it, if possible, still more dis tressing, the young woman was standing beside her sweetheart at the time. They were both intimately ac quainted with the bride and bridegroom, and were shortly to have been the principal actors ill a similar joyous party themselves, i. d. A s.

SUGAR.-To-day there was more activity in the West India Sugar market ; a fair business was transacted, and bright yellow descriptions, which were the most in request, in several instances fetched prices rather above those previously quoted ; other kinds sustained the former value; the market has decidedly assumed a firmer appearance. The total purchases amounted to 420 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 100 hhds and 12 tierces of Barbadoes Sugar, which went off with more animation, and at prices is to 2s above those of the former sale for midd and good, and 6d to is per cwt for low descriptions; good yellow fetched 62s 6d to 64s 6d, good middling Gls 6d to 625, middling 58s 6d to 60s, low 55s to 56s 6d, and one lot very low 53s 6d per cwt. The total stock at this port of all descriptions of raw Sugar, subject to the 24s duty and 5 per cent, is 7,300 tons more than it was last season at this time. REFINED.-To-day several parcels of Refined Goods were taken by the home trade, and prices ruled firm brown lumps at 71s 6d, and standard lumps 73s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is higher, sales for forward delivery having been made at 30s to 30s 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon there was more inquiry for Mauritius Sugar, and at public sale 249 bags were sold at full rates ; fine yellow at 665, good mid 57s to 57s 6d, mid 545, good brown 50s to 50s 6d, and very low 40s per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon 3,553 bags Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, but in consequence of higher rates being asked the whole was taken in, and with drawn, mid yellow at 54s 6d to 565, good mid 58s, and damp brown 42s 6d to 43s per cwt; there were buyers at fair market rates. FOREIGN.-The market has presented a quiet appear ance for Foreign Sugar since last Tuesday. In yellow llavannah there has been only a limited business transacted by private treaty, but previous rates are sustained ; 1,000 boxes have been disposed of at 20s 6d to 21s 6d, and a small parcel at 22s per cwt. White is not offered upon lower terms. Brown Brazil is held for the former currency, and a fair demand has existed at 17s to 18s 6d for middling to fine quality, but white has been taken sparingly at 21s to 24s ; the small parcels of other descriptions disposed of privately have been upon previous terms. MOLASSES-To-day several inquiries existed for West India Molasses, but largo purchases prevented higher rates being asked. Rim-Bengal is still attracting attention, and in some cases a further advance in prices has taken place; low white fetching Ils to Ils 6d, mid Ils 9d to 12s, and good 12s 3d to 12s 6d : the lower kinds are wanted, the supply being inadequate to the demand. Holders of Foreign East India are not inclined to press sales, and previous rates are maintained, but little business has been transacted in the private market ; Os to 12s is the value of Java. At auction, 684 bags of Madras fetched 8s to 8s 6d for good yellow, and 7s 6d to 8s Gd for sea damaged, first and second class. In cleaned Rice extensive purchases have been made, at 14s to 18s for Patna, and at 23s to 27s for Carolina.

With Mocha the market was better supplied, and at auction 630 bales 42 cases were offered, but buyers evinced little desire to purchase, and the whole was taken in much above what was bid-mid pale greenish long berry at 755, mid yellowish 68s, brown 61s to 665, and green Mysore 425. Of West India 5 casks 119 brls 21 bags were offered, and taken in at 51s to 52s for fine ord grey Berbice, and 40s to 45s for ord ragged. TEL.-Since our last report the market has been better supplied with nearly all descriptions of Tea, still merchants for the most part have displayed firmness. To-day there was a good business transacted in the Tea market, and prices ruled firm ; common sound Congou cash fetched 10-id to 11d, and Twankay Is 3d to is 3id for ordinary.

DEATH OF REAR-ADIIIRAL EDWARD BOGER.— Intelligence has been received of the death of the above gallant flag-officer, after a protracted illness. He died at Lipson, near Plymouth, last week, at the age of sixty-nine years. The deceased admiral had been in the naval service of his country above fifty years. In 1795 he was in Lord llotham's action, being at that time a midshipman. He was lieute nant of the Inconstant when L'Unite, of 34 guns, was captured. At the siege of Castiglione he rendered particular service by the able manner he commanded a detachment of seamen and marines. In 1801 he com manded the Cruelle cutter at the landing of the British forces in Egypt. For the gallantry he displayed while engaged on that official duty he was rewarded with the Turkish gold medal, amongst the other officers who re ceived that decoration. His commission was dated as follows :—Lieutenant, 16th March, 1795; Commander, th January, 1803; Captain, 22d May, 1806; and Rear- Admiral of the Blue, 23d November, 1841. One of our Paris correspondents gives us the following intelligence :—The hotel of the English Embassy promises to be the scene of great amusement this winter. A bal costume is announced for the middle of January; and private theatricals, by English amateurs, are in preparation, at s hich it is said those only who are learned in that language will be present. This on dit has spread dismay among those who are not versed in it; and English masters have been put into immense requisition, as every member of the elite is determined to found a m for admission by acquiring as much English as possible within a given time. The language of perfidious Albion was never so much in vogue; and we look upon this introduction of a novel and patriotic amusement at the Embassy as a real stroke of diplomacy on the part of the distinguished lady of the English Ambassador; and cannot givo too much praise to the good taste and spirit with which these performances have been adopted and undertaken.—Court Journal. On Wednesday morning a fire occurred in the cot tage of John Millbank, at Great Saling, arising from the thoughtless and foolish act of a lodger putting under his pillow tinder, which it appears had not been properly ex tinguished. Policeman Sergeant, while on duty at three o'clock in the morning, observed flames in the cottage, when he gave an alarm, and - rendered assistarce, and for tunately the fire was got under without much damage beyond destroying the curtains and furniture of a bed.— Esscx Herald. . 1 _:~ i xaiTzzi 11. 4s.
