SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS GLOBE.—A paragraph headed " New Royal E change" appears simultaneously in the morning papers, emanating apparently from the joint Gresham and cor poration-arbiters of accommodation to t he merchants of London—with whom most of these Committee-men have, we believe, little or nothing in common—and who most unwisely deputed none of their body to watch these Wise Men of the East, while the building was planning in which their comfort was mainly concerned, but in which shopocrat influence, and civic camaraderies, have been preferred to the claims of commerce. We should scarcely have noticed this apology for the Committee, except for the cool impertinence of its close. The memorial to them was signed by such names as Messrs. Rothschild, Messrs. Baring, Messrs. Heath and Co., Messrs. Huth and Co., and many others of the first-rate merchants and brokers of the City of London. The reply closes in the following style of impertinence :—" The impression in the City seems to be, that our merchants have become more tender and fastidious than their forefathers were, and that though a covered Exchange might be agreeable at this season, yet that in summer it would be quite intoler able." Pray who was the Royal Exchange built fur, if not for the merchants ? Who have a right to be " fas tidious" about their own Hall of Commerce, if not the merchants ? For whose central site did Parliament suppose itself voting 150,0004 in order that where they " most do congregate," they should have ample room, and a fit area ? As a mere matter of measurement, how have this Committee provided this area ? The present interior looks smaller than the old ; and though we believe it is not so, we believe also that it is no larger ; and we know, at all events, that the Committee had before them a plan of much more suitable dimensions. 'We believe we are correct in stating the dimensions of the present open area at 6,613 feet, and of the whole area. including the covered walks, at 18,256 feet. The available effect of this space is besides dimi nished by the exceeding clumsiness of separating (as it were) the walks from the court by heavy arches instead of columns—(the ponderous masses of masonry at each of the four corners defy description). Now, in Mr. Cockerell's plan, the extent of the open area was 7,250 feet—of the whole area, including the covered walks, 19,316. Throughout the proceedings on this building, every conceivable secondary object has been 1 consulted—wily superseding the primary one. Thus a prodigious deal has been made of the shops which are, in tact, the leading feature of all its faces. And now the Committee tell us of " the extensive uses of the area of the Exchange as"— what do our readers sup pose ?—the first place of commercial assemblage in the world ? Not a bit of it—laut "as a thoroughfare to all the neighbouring streets, the Bank, the Stock Exchange, and the other important public and private buildings of the neighbourhood." This object also was less obtru sively, and therefore more properly, provided for, in Mr. Cockerell's plan, byacavered arcade, apart from the mer chants' are. 'The present interior is all thoroughfare—vast gaping arches make most effective breaches from each of the " neighbouring streets" fur heaven's artillery to sweep right across it. A due application of architectu ral skill would have combined suitable entrances with suitable shelter ; and these, we repeat, as well as suit able dimensions, the Committee had placed before them; and, for reasons best known to themselves, have erected an Exchange, defective in all three. STANDARD.—The requisition to propose a formal condemnation of the tract No. 90, signed by nearly 500 members of Convocation was yesterday presented to the Hebdomadal Board, when the Principal of Brazenose, Doctor Harrington, and the Rector of Exeter, Doctor Richards, sought to get rid of the pro position by a motion that it be taken into consi deration at six months' end. The discussion of the amendment, which will probably find no supporters but the two doctors named as its sponsors, was ad journed to this day. It may be remembered that, on a former occasion, Doctors Harrington and Richards addressed to us two sufficiently uncivil and impe rious letters, because we ventured to surmise that they did not very much disapprove of the Tracta rian doctrines. Their present conduct, we think, shows whether our intimation or their very flat con tradiction of it was nearest the truth ? But, per haps, they would be understood as having written in a non-natural sense, when they denied their wish to Protect doctrines which they are now practically pro tecting. This non-natural sense, by the way, is one of the prettiest euphemisms of modern invention ; what a treasure would it have been to Mr. O'Connell for the last forty years ? —ing " afico for the phrase." Mr. O'Connell was only speaking in the non-natural sense, when he boasted the possession of a letter from Mr. Patrick Eagan, of Moate, which letter was never written ; and when he vouched Mr. David Mur phy, of Kilkenny, a gentleman, to whom the most pain ful heraldic researches can make no nearer approach than as finding him brother to that Mrs. Harris, celebrated in Mr. Dickens' " Martin Chuzzle wit." On these, and ten thousand other occasions, Mr. O'Connell only spoke in the non-natural sense, when people, the Examiner among others, applied a very ugly name to his mode of " postponing truth to the purpose of the moment." PION THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Let Sir Robert Peel alone for " turning diseases to commodity !" He is quitted by a colleague , of whom it is not much to say that he was the sole re presentative in the Government of any one former prin ciple of its party, and moreover that he was Sir Robert Peel's sole reliance in debate on many ques tions. One would have thought this (morally speaking) a heavy blow, and a great discouragement. Sir Robert reel makes a merit of it '. He shows off Mr. Glad stone to the malcontent Irish Roman Catholics as a scape goat, whom he has driven into the wilderness, charged with all the sins of his party. See what a prize Protestant we have sacrificed !—what a credit to the flock we have whistled down the wind. All for the love of the Irish Ro man Catholics !—all for the sake of " the Romish Church in that country." In ourhumble judgment Lord J. Russell, critiscising the mode of passing the Charitable Bequests Act, instead of pressing too hard upon the Premier, let him off too cheap. That Mr. Gladstone did so is not surprising. As he did not mean to head a party against his late chief, he could not gracefully go farther. But we confess our surprise that the strongest point against the party in power has been pressed so little ; especially as that point is so salient that it cannot escape any eye. The point •we allude to is the flagrant inconsistency of Sir Robert Peel's recent recognition of the Irish Roman ecclesiastics—not merely with the principles of his party—with the professions of his past life—but with the Emancipation Act, if not with the Act of Su premacy. The Oath of Supremacy, administered to every candidate for a degree in the Dubliis University, affirms that the Roman Pontiff " hath not any ju risdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or autho rity, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm." An " Ex-Scholar of Trinity College. Dublin," in the Dublin Evening Mad, puts the question to Dr. Radcliffe, Vicar-General of that Diocese—" Whe- ther, on perusing the Charitable Bequests Bill —and observing that the ecclesiastical functions of men are therein recognised and ratified by British law, which functions are only conferred, and can be only conferred, by the Pope of Rome—and that the men bearing those functions are, in virtue of their official station, invested with certain powers under that Act in this country—permit me, Sir, to ask whether you choose to stake your official character on the pro priety of administering to candidates fur degrees in the University, an oath in which they swear," &c. &c. We can conceive that the Ministerial advocates may get over this inconsistency, on the plea that they recog nise the Roman Prelates, not as appointed by the Pope —an appointment which they choose to know nothing of —but as the de facto spiritual dignitaries of the Roman Catholic population of Ireland. They do not acknow ledge the right of the Pope to appoint, but the right of the people to receive them ; and they recognise them only in consequence of the function they find them really holding. Well, we will let the blinisterialists off on the Oath of Supremacy. But let us just look at the Act of Emancipation. By this Act, at all events, they built a wall, which, in the Charitable Bequests Act, they have been themselves first to run their heads against. The follow ing was a leading provision of the Act of Emancipation, " for the peace and security of the Establishment and of the Protestant religion:"—" Whereas the right and title of archbishops to their respective provinces, of bishops to their sees, and of deans to their deaneries, as well in England as in Ireland, have been established by law; Be it therefore enacted, that if any person, after the com mencement of this Act, other than the person thereunto authorised by law, shall assume or use the name, style, or title of archbishop of any province, bishop of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery, in England or Ire land, he shall for every such offence forfeit and pay the sum of MC Certainly no enactment could be devised better fitted to bring the law into contempt. The Roman Catholics consider their prelates as cis jure bishops of those very dioceses, whose titles Sir Robert Peel's Eman cipation Act forbade them to assume under a heavy penalty. Of course the titles were assumed ; and of course the penalties were not enforced. But what be came of that respect fur the law, so desirable to create in Ireland? And what becomes of Sir R. Peel's own re spect for his own enactment ? He is its first signal Protestant violator ! He is not content with having set up an Act of Parliament, as a thing of straw, to be dis °!4eVed with impunity—he is not content without ingnsaitin g his own scorn for it in another Act of Par liament. The Charitable Bequests Act recognises the toreen ;. t t itle e ssa.Nyhich the Emancipation Act forbids. Will liised " . 3.4 ° ltora lu a that those titles are neither recog former--we will l t nor local: We will wave the the Act of Suprema7ppose there is no breach of But that titles of :.isho" C'est one fire supposition." s and archbishops always suppose a " local habitationP O'Connell Roman Catholicandname." Suppose Mayor of Dublin Suppose Mr. in the face of a Protestant legal ; thtt th tion had imposed a fi ne of -tote fAoretasofsuEnsTnagneitPhaa; Bequests er Act had title; and that the Charitablees Mayor of re cognised Mr. O'Connell Nowhere ? The Dublin Pilot pushes this recog nition to exceedingly awkward " Spiritual peerage was a creation of the law of Eng land, while England was yet Catholic—meaning .li spiritual peerage the title of Lord or Dominus, accoui-. panied with the right of taking a part in the Legisla tive Council or Parliament of the nation. The law con ferred this title and privilege on Catholic ecclesiastics, in virtue of their having canonical consecration as pre lates, which ordination and consecration they could de rive only from the See of Rome. Therefore, by the ancient constitution or common law of England, which time only can destroy, the title to the spiritual peerage is canonical ordination and consecration in communion with the See of Rome ..... . The law now tardily, and, we suspect, not very honestly, does recognise that spiritual peerage belongs should like; to Catholic pre lates—and, indeed to them alone. to see this great question tried at law. Suppose the Most Reverend Archbishop Daniel Murray insists that t lie is, as a British subject , and by virtir England, the true, legal Archbishop of of the law of f Dublin, and clamst sit in Parliament,insteada ph WiagtQieb THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, FEERt AR sy Ih4t). end so appeals to a court of justice, what would be the probable decision on such an issue ? Dr. Whateley could only show that he derives his cure of souls, as bishop, from a lay tribunal. Dr. Murray could show that he has the canonical ordination and consecra tion required by the ancient law to entitle him to a spiritual peerage, which Dr. Whateley has not. Consequently, he is, in our mind, the true and legal Archbishop of Dublin, and not Dr. Whate ley—and he, instead of the latter, should be called to sit in the British House of Peers." We shall not, of course, be supposed to acquiesce in this Romanising conclusion. But it is evident to us that Sir R. Peel, by the idle and most mischievous provision which we have cited from the Emancipation Act, and by the consequent unavoidable evasion in the Charitable Bequests Act of the local titular recognition of the Roman Catholic prelates, whom he recognised, has created an embarrassment which is by no means merely fanciful. How much better, in the first place, never to have enacted the penal provision ! Or secondly, to have repealed it openly—And thirdly, to have given the Roman prelates their entire popularly acknowledged titles, accompanied simply by a saving clause for the concurrent legal rights of the Protestant prelates. What would have been simpler Shan to have recognised Dr. Murray as Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin ? which he is. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 121 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 621, it follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Paris. By advices from Iramburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 178. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange 02'13 ; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13 111, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in liamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at Kew York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. The Queen's Speech predated no effort :upon the public securities ; they were, however, rather flat, from an increased demand for money, arising out of sales made to pay the necessary funds into the hands of the Accountant-General in Chancery, to prosecute the several new railway schemes before Parliament. Not much business has been transacted in the foreign market, but prices continue pretty firm. Colombian in a trifling degree has ad vanced—a strange position of affairs, considering the late refusal of Lord Aberdeen to interfere further respecting the claims of the bond holders. Probably the circumstance of its being a low-priced security induces some of the more adventurous speculators to purchase at the risk of a rise following the general excitement at present existing for tiaae bargains. The confidence with which many persons in the City have spoken of certain railway lines as likely to receive the sanction of the Board of Trade has created much surprise. If the predictions of these per sons turn out to be correct, it will increase a suspicion already afloat, that information as to the proceedings of the Board occasionally finds its way prematurely into the market.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 4. (Before the Loup CurEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. PORTER. This was an information filed by her Majesty's At torney-General against the defendant for the recovery of penalties which he was alleged to have incurred by evading the payment of the Customs' duties. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Jervis, and Mr. Wilde, conducted the case for the Crown ' • Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Hindmarsh, ap peared for the defendant. Mr. Poster, the defendant in this information, had been associated in business with Mr. Foster, as ware houseman, in Cheapside. The transaction from which the present information arose, was the landing, on the 29th of March, 1842, of two cases of goods, Nos. 56 and 57, from the Harlequin steamer, from Boulogne. The principal ground of action, however, was the last case. This information, in its leading features, is closely assimilated with those of the Attorney-General v. Dean and Candy, so frequently before the Court of Exchequer, and with which our readers have been made so familiar. The cases from Boulogne contained gloves, silks, satins, and a variety of haberdashery, on which a duty of 1201. ss. 2d. was paid on the 2d of April 1842; the goods having been cleared by Mr. Noble, the prin cipal clerk of the defendant, but who has since left the country. From the size of the cases, and the calcula tion of their cubrkal contents .it was contended, on be half of the Crown, that they could hold, and had held, a quantity of goods, the duty on which would be 3121. 4s. 10d. The difference, therefore, between these two sums was the amount which it was argued the de fendant ought to have paid, and he was now sued for his default, and the penalties thereby incurred. FEBRUARY 5. - (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) TILE ATTORNET-GENERAL V. PORTER. This case, which occupied the Court yesterday, was concluded this morning. His LORDSUIP having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for .the Crown, giving 1,1761., as the single value of the goods which had not paid duty. The counsel for the Crown fell into some mistake in the statement yesterday as to the amount of the penalties, which will account for the discrepancy between our report of yesterday and the verdict of the jury. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 5. (Sittings in Banco after Term.) The Court heart motions this morning in the new trial paper. There was nothing, hov. ever, of interest in any of them.' COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 5. (Sittings at Nisi Trine.) Mr. Justice Erie 211,1 a common jury were occupied the whole morning in trying an unimportant action relating to the repairs of a chaise. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, &e.) The Court was occupied in hearing cases which are devoid of interest. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINING COALS.—John Manley, a respectably dressed young man, aged 23, described as a shoemaker, was indicted for stealing three tons of coals, value 51. 25., the property of Messes. Charrington and Co., coal-merchants. _ . The circumstances of this case have recently appeared in the report of the examination of the prisoner at the police-court. The pri soner's defence was ,that it was a debt and not a fraud. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty—that he never intended to pay for the coals. There were two other indictments charging him with fraudulently obtaining, in each case, two tons of coals from two other coal-mer chants, but they were not proceeded with, and the prisoner was Ezu tenced to six months' hard labour in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 31.4N510N-HOUSE. Charles King, the servant of Mr. Barnard, of the house of Barnard, Dimsdale, and Co., bankers, of Nos. 49 and 50, Cornhill, wa.s brought before the Lord Mayor, by James Bradley, one of the officers of the Mansion house, charged upon suspicion of having stolen several bottles of wine and spirits, the property of his master. Mr. Bozon appeared for the prisoner. Bradley produced a basket, in which eleven bottles, containing wine and spirits, were deposited. Mr. John Barnard stated that he charged the prisoner, who was the only male servant in the house, with having taken a basket, containing, to the best of his belief, wine and liquors, his property, off the premises that morning, without his authority. Upon one of the bottles witness said he discovered the name of a foreign house with which he dealt. In conse quence of information which he received relative to the prisoner, he went t , ) a house in Birchin-lane, where he saw a basket, which he perceived was like one on his premises. Ile then returned, and asked the pri soner where the basket was; to which the prisoner replied that he knew nothing about it, declaring, at the same time, that he had not taken any basket whatever off the premises, either on that day or the day before. Henry Wild, a young man in the employment of the agent of the Parcels' Delivery Company, at No. 14, Birchin-lane, deposed that the prisoner called that morning, and brought the basket produced with him. At the prisoner's request witness wrote the direction, the prisoner stating that he could not write large hand. It was "Mrs. Aust, 68, Guildford-street, Russell-square." Mrs. Ann Nicholson deposed that she was governess to the daughter of the prosecutor. She kept the key of the cellaret. On Sunday she gave the key of the cellaret to the prisoner to get some wine out. He got the wine out, and gave back the keys. The keys of the wine-cellar usually hung in the cellaret, and on that morning the cellaret drawer in which they were kept was found unlocked. Mary Key, cook to the prosecutor, deposed that she saw the prisoner after eleven o'clock in the morn ing take the basket along Birchin-lane while she was talking to a person in the street. She knew the basket to be the one which she had observed a day or two before lying upon a hamper on her master's premises. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to say anything? The prisoner —Why, Ido not exactly wish, Sir. The basket belongs to Mr. Barnard. I am sorry for taking it out of the house, but the bot tles and what's in them is all mine. I have 501. a year independent, and I am not beholden to Mr. Bar nard, but he allows me liberally. The LORD MAYOR—I wish to ask you a question or two, but you need not answer them if you think your case may be prejudiced thereby. The prisoner —Oh, I'll answer any question ; I've nothing to conceal. The LORD MAYOR—Where did you receive these bottles? The prisoner —Why, my Lord, you see they belong to me, and lam not a Roman Catholic, and not obliged to confess to you. The LORD MAYOR—How did they happen to come out of Mr. Barnard': house ? The prisoner —I know I paid for them all. lam independent, my Lord. The LORD MAroa—Pray, what wine is this (hold ing up a bottle) ? The prisoner—lts a sweet wine. The LORD MAYOR—No, it happens to be a bottle of spirits—brandy, perhaps ? The prisoner—Yes, my Lord, it is brandy ; very good brandy. The LORD MAYOR—Now that I smell it again it appears to me to be whisky ? The prisoner—Yes, my Lord, it is whisky—Scotch whisky. The LORD MAYOR—HOW did you happen to mis take it for sweet wine ? The prisoner—All rknow is that I paid for it certainly. It is all mine, but the basket is Mr. Barnard's. Bradley, the Mansion-house officer, deposed that, at the desire of Mr. Barnard, he took the prisoner into custody. Upon being taken to Birchin-lane, the prisoner denied all knowledge of the basket, but was identified by the young man who wrote the ad dress on the card which was fastened to the basket. The prisoner —Yes, yes, I am the man, the very man. The LORD MAYOR—It is my duty to commit you for trial. The prisoner—l am sorry for it indeed, my Lord; I am willing to obey you, but it is a hard case upon me. Mr. Barnard has been a very , good master to me—he is a very good gentleman. lam a man of very few words, but all the bottles are mine. The prisoner was then committed for trial. It is believed that he obtained his situation by means of a fictitious character. A lad, named John Dorking, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged under the new Act with having run away from a ship in which he had been engaged. Isaac Sandwell, the owner of a ship agency and register-office, stated that, as agent for the East Lon don Union, he had bound the prisoner to the captain of a vessel, and registered and enrolled him, under the new Act, for four years, on the 24th of January. After, however, having received a regular fit-out and some money from the captain, he took to his heels, and, by deserting, put the owners to great incon venience. The defendant—My Lord, I left the ship on ac count of the scarcity of provisions, after being on board two months. The complainant asked why the prisoner had not made the complaint before he was registered. Mr. Roberts, one of the officers_ of the East London Union, stated that the guardians had fitted out the prisoner at an expense of 51., and that the prisoner, upon returning from the vessel, acknowledged that the only ground of complaint he had was, that he did not like the service. The LOAD MAYOR said be would deal with the case under the Apprentices' Act, and sentence the prisoner to a month's imprisonment and hard labour ; and if, upon the return of the captain to England, it might be considered advisable to allow the prisoner to serve, a discharge should be sent for him to the prison. QUEEN- SQUARE. THE CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING AGAINST SIR JOHN OSBORN'S DAUGHTER. — Monday, shortly after the dis posal of the night charges, an elderly gentlemen entered the Court, by the private door, and addressed Mr. Bond on the subject of the charge of shoplifting preferred against Miss Elizabeth Osborn, the daughter of Sir John Osborn, on Saturday last, a full report of which appeared in our last. The gentleman, who represented himself to be an old friend of the lady's family, expressed himself apprehen sive that her friends were not acquainted with her unfor tunate situation. wrTithten second two lette c r ie s Mr. BOND ca ll e d th e clerk, and inquired whether the e lady had had any commun i ca ti o n w ith her friends ? r,konereopfliwedh,ichthwaats addressedt • he prisonerL Lady Osborn, a n d the d other to a friend. They had been given to a messenger to cony' y immediately, rad there was no doubt that they had been received, as he had been in formod that a lady and gentleman, who were stated to be Sir John and Lady Osborn, accompanied by a friend, had come to the office in their carriage, at a very late hour on Saturday night, and had inquired the address of Mr. Burrell, the sitting magistrate. The gentleman inquired whether there was any op portunity of alleviating the lady's condition ? Mr. BOND observed that he was not acquainted with the regulations of the prison. But if magistrates or go vernors of prisons were to endeavour to ameliorate the condition of a respectable person they would be imme diately assailed on all sides, for making distinctions between the rich and poor. — After a slight pause, the gentleman admitted that to a certain extent such distinctions were improper. He deeply regretted the situation in which the lady was placed ; it was a most painful one for her family. He understood that she had been found with some groats, rice, and other things upon her ? The clerk said that such was the fact. The gentleman said he had no doubt that she had pur chased those things to give to some poor family. She was in the habit of visiting the poor and relieving them. The gentleman, after observing that the acessed was strange in her manners, inquired the way to Tothill fields prison, and, on being directed, observed that he would go there at once. It was, he repeated, a very ptinful and distressing affair. The gentlemen then left the Court, and on his return, in about three quarters of an hour, informed the magis trate that Lady Osborn and the professional adviser of the family were with Miss Osborn, and that Mr. Hum phries had been engaged to conduct the defence. Mr. BOND thought she was in very good hands. The gentlemen then withdrew. We understand that Lady Osborn, who is, as may be conceived, in a very distressed state, was with her daughter for some hours yesterday, at the prison. Much excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of the Court during the clay with respect to this case, and it appeared to be the general impression that some at tempt would be made to procure the lady's liberation on bail. Mr. Burrell came to the Court in the course of the afternoon, and was engaged for some time in private conversation with Mr. Bond and the clerks ; but no ap plication was made to him h ere on t h e su bj ect of bail. Whether a request of that nature has been made to him elsewhere, it is of course impossible for us to say, BOTV-671?EE7'. John Neil and Richard ficddon were charged before Mr. Jardine with an assault on James Saville, the pro prietor, and George Smith, the waiter, of a coffee-shop in Mgh.stroot, St. Mr. Saville said, that about four o'clock this morning he was roused by a row in his shop. He saw the pri soners in the shop struggling with the waiter. He de sired them to leave, but they refused, and he helped the waiter to turn them cut. A policeman coming up at the moment charg e vs:hen he turned the prisoners out, he gave them in John Smith, waiter in Mr. Saville's shop, said that between three and four o'clok this morning the prisoners came in and asked for some coffee and bacon. When he served them they refused to pay beforehand, and he would not leave the tray with them. They tried to snatch it from him. The master then came down and assisted witness to turn them out. Policeman, F 23 - said that he took the prisoners in custody, having seen them break one of prosecutor's windows. The prisoners said that they had not committed any assault on the prosecutor. They refused to pay for the coffee before they had taken it, and the waiter imme diately attacked them. The policeman said that the prisoners were drunk at the time, and Mr. JARDINE fined the prisoners 10s. each, and in default of payment, sentenced them to 14 days' imprisonment. TRIAL FOR CHEATING AT CARDS. (From Galignani's Messenger of Friday.) The Correctional Tribunal was occupied yesterday with the trial of certain persons accused of cheating at cards. They were Walker, aged 21; Lambert, 40; Pey ronnet, 32; Frazer, 25; Oglebey, 25; Drummond Baring, age not stated; and Emma Caye, his mistress. Of these all were present at the time except Baring. The female prisoner, a very well-looking girl of 22, kept her veil down as much as possible, and only raised it in reply to the interrogatories of the president. Walker declared that he had been an officer in Spain; that at present be lived on his property. He was, besides, he said, cousin of Admiral Walker. Lambert stated that he belonged to a respectable family, which allowed him enough to live on. Peyronnet, who sometimes had assumed the title of viscount, and had sported a card with a coronet on it, denied that he had done so, declaring that he be longed to a family high enough to do without such paltry pretensions. Frazer said that he had held a commission in the English army, and that in conse quence his friends called him Captain Frazer. He had no other claim to the title. Oglebey, on being questioned about certain marked cards found at his lodgings, de clared that they were not marked, but were common English cards, which he had brought over to France. Emma Caye declared that she had no ostensible means of living, and that she supported herself on her savings, and when asked from what source these savings proceeded she was silent. Lambert's counsel entered a protest against the written informations laid before the Court, in which it was asserted that an extensive association existed to defraud young men of fortune, at play. No traces of any such body could be discovered, he said, and if it did exist, his client knew nothing whatever of it. The first witness, Count de Salm, aged 25, deposed that a friend of his, Count de Thunn, had one day informed him that he had been dinins , the evening before at the Café Anglais, when a gentleman strolled in, and after asking hide a question relative to some dish which he had before him, commenced a conversation, which even tually led to an agreement to go to the Italian Theatre together. A meeting was fixed for the next day at Ilenette's shooting gallery, in the Champs Elysees. They were there practising with a pistol, when Lambert and Peyronnet entered, and saluting Walker, whom they seemed to know, joined in the amusement. Some small bets were made, and at last a dinner at the Rocher de Cancale was lust by witness and his friend. Some dis pute arose during the dinner between two of the prisoners, Peyronnet and 'Walker, relative to the battle of Waterloo, but the matter was made up by the icterference of the rest of the party. After dinner cards were proposed, and whist was named as the game. As witness and his friend played it but indifferently, blind hookey was named as being a game easily understood by every one. Cards were then brought in in their covers, and witness, on their being opened, was struck with their soiled ap pearance, as if they had been already used. He made no observation, however, thinking that all was fair and honourable. His friend lost continually, but he, at first, won 1.500 f. Peyronnet, however, having commenced playing against him, he (witness) also lost. Buth to gether lost B,loof. Witness, when the play had con cluded, was obliged to declare that not having any money worth naming about him, he must defer paying the debt until the next day. The prisoners were exceedingly anxious to get a cheque on his banker, but this he posi tively refused. He called next day to pay the money. but found that they had all gone to St. Germain to pass the day. He dined in the evening at the Hotel des Princes, where, happening to narrate what had occurred, M. Privet, the proprietor, told him that Walker was a common cheat and blackleg, and that his losing was a certainty. He recommended witness strongly at the same time not to pay a farthing of the money. It not being altogether certain that Walker was the man whom M. Privet meant, it was agreed that he should come up two days after wards, when Walker was at breakfast with witness, and see if it was the same person. He came up accordingly, and finding it to be the man, abused him most heartily. Witness went afterwards to the police, and received such intelligence of the three prisoners as fully confirmed M. Privat's statement. Privet, being called, confirmed the testimony of the last witness, and added that, after having reproached Walker with his in famous conduct, the latter said, " Come before the Com missary of Police." Witness replied that he desired nothing better, but that he would not be seen walking the street with him ; they proceeded along near each other, but at the first turn Walker contrived to slip away. Witness next informed the Court that a person of his acquaintance, M. Milleret, had been one day drawn into the society of Oglebey and Frazer, and had lost 14,000 f. Emma Caye was, as far as he had heard, one of the party; she was known to be Baring's mistress. Baring's reputation was even lower than that of the prisoner's. He had been arrested as a black-leg in several coun • tries—viz., in Belgium, in Germany, at Frankfort, everywhere, in fact, where he went. A quantity of cards having been seized at the prisoners lodgings, the Court had ordered them to be submitted to the inspection of Philippe, the famous conjuror of the Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle. This witness declared that the cards given to him to examine were cut in such a way as that the person using them, and knowing the secret, could cut a high or low card at pleasure. Blind hookey, when played in France, which is of rare occurrence, is thus managed:—One of the players is banker; he makes as many packets of cards as there are players; each person takes a packet, one being left to the banker; each person puts down a sum of money on his cards, and all play against the bank e r, when the under card of each packet is displayed ; the lowest card loses. The banker does not choose his packet, which is assigned him by one of the players. The mode of cheating by means of prepared cards, amongst confederates, at this game would tie, to cut a low card for one of the packets, and assign that one to the banker. It was thus that M. de Salm lost on every occasion when M. Peyronnet left him a packet. Philippe, the conjuror above named, in his demonstrations of the manner in which the cards were used, was most unfor tunate, for when, after having shuffled the cards he de clared that he would cut low cards, he turned up in five packets four court cards ; and when he wanted to cut high cards, out of six packets he cut four low on es . This caused great laughter ; and the matter was not mended, when, taking off his paletot, he renewed his attempt, and again obtained a result precisely the op posite to what he had announced. One of the counsel for the prisoners then demanded that the card-manu facturer should be called in, to declare if the cards just exhibited were not ordinary ones. The Court de clared that it should first hear other witnesses, and then decide on the point. The Avocet du Roi stated that at Peyronnet's lodgings figures and calculations had been found, according to which, if a pack of cards was ar ranged, and divided without shuffling, the banker must always win. Peyronnet, on being interrogated, said that such a combination did undoubtedly exist, but he affirmed that he had never made use of it. Count de Thunn was next examined. He confirmed the statement made by Count de Salin, relative to Walker's having contrived to enter into conversation with him at the Cafe Anglais, and the subsequent meetings. His account of the dinner, and play afterwards, was identified with that stated above, as well as of the scene at Privet's, when Walker was accessed of being a black-leg. Philippe, the conjuror, was recalled, to examine some cards seized at Oglebey's. He declared that, with the exception of these cards, he could tell the colour of every card in the pack from their external appearance. He proceeded to show this, and went through the experiment with great success. He declared that he was able to distinguish the black cards frem the red by a particular shade on the back. Oglebey stated that the cards were incomplete, being formed• of odd cards of different packs. Philippe declared that the cards were unequal to the touch, so that a person in cutting could tell whether he was cutting a high or a low card. Captain Lemarieur, of the Aus trian service, deposed that he had spent an evening at Peyronnet's, and lost 150 f. at whist; but that he could not assert that there was anything unfair in the play. M. C. Ledru stated that M. Milleret sent for him one morning, and, having informed him that he had lost 13,000 f. at cards the preceding evening, requested him to go and pay it. Witness inquired into the circum stances, and learned that he had casually made the acquaintance of a Mr. Oglebey, who had invited him to pass the evening at Captain Frazer's, Rue Monthabor. After supper cards were introduced, and blind hookey was decided on as the game. Witness thought the whole proceeding very suspicious, and, after some inquiries, waited on Captain Fraser, and demanded a - .receipt in full] for the money, as it was evident that, morally speaking, not a farthiug was due. This Frazer refused; and witness declared that, in consequence, he should have recourse to legal measures. Witness, accordingly, sent a huissier to Frazer, with a formal notice that M. Milleret refused to pay the money, having been cheated the evening before. Emma Caye was present, and was employed to attract Milleret's notice by a thousand acts of coquetry. M. Milleret confirmed this statement, as far as related to the cards, but declared that he did not recognise Emma Caye, and certainly it was not she who had asked him to play, but Baring. Witness refused to give bills for the amount of his loss, and then the parties present insulted and threatened him. Emma Caye, how ever, on being interrogated, allowed that she was present on the occasion, and bad even danced with Milleret. All the gentlemen, she said, had drunk champagne freely, and smoked cigarettes. Some other witnesses were exa mined, but their testimony added nothing to the above facts. Some of them gave a favourable character to Peyronnet. The Court postponed the further proceed ings for a week, and ordered a card manufacturer in the meantime to examine and report on the cards which had been seized at the prisoner's lodgings.

In noticing the weather experienced during this month, we may observe that, notwithstanding the fluc tuations (numerous in the extreme) which have been experienced, it has proved extremely mild. Whether, however, it has been seasonable is another matter to consider. True it is, there has not been a long con tinuance of cold easterly winds, yet we have had scarcely a sufficient number of sharp frosts, which are generally so much required at this period. However, our accounts respecting the young wheat plants are extremely favourable. Scarcely a single instance has come under our observation in which they have ap peared winter-proud, or displayed in other respects an unfavourable appearance. It cannot be denied that they have greatly- stood in need of a heavy fall of snow to protect them, as well as to form a good tilth for the Lenten crops. Although thus early, every progress appears to have been completed for the sowing of barley and oats. As may be readily understood, complaints are more general of the scarcity of winter keep ; indeed, in some parts of the country, nearly the whole of the hay is already consumed. Fortunately, the turnip crop turned out better that many persons were pre pared to expect, or the consequences might have been even more serious than they have occurred. The great demand for oil-cake, consequent upon the scarcity of dry fodder, has produced a further rise in the value of that article—as much as 131. ss. having been realised per 1,000. Comparatively speaking, the stock, both beasts and sheep, has fared tolerably athroughout the beasts nearly e , ra a l appears pe thers a well, yet an unusually l arge num b er h as b een re ceived up to our variou s mar k e t s i n l ess t h an a hall f i a t state.htas extended x t e n The ded epidemic i ts ravages ag es amongst to have pretty well s u b s id e d i n this country, though n g or r t e h at erh increaseeonn counties, n o whole sse s have but likewise in of the h ,eh continent sustained by the graz i ers. Strange of Europe, where ve r y grea t l as it may appear, in the face of a dry spring year, we the rot in sheep, nothav e on to ly n in otice a the those lying south of the H um b er. This we consider to have been principally caused by the heavy rains, and the rapid growth of rank vegetation in August and the beginning of Septemb er, which period, our readers will recollect, was a most fluctuating one. From the fact of most of the shi • shipping ports in i Holland being blocked up withce, a readyin ference was d 1 awn in the early part of the win ter, that the imports of live stock into this coun try from the above quarter, under the new tariff, would have been very trifling, But •in this par ticular persons have been disappointed, for we find the arrivals thence in the course of this month to have amounted to 142 beasts and 200 sheep. About a moiety of those supplies have reached us in fair saleable condition; but the re mainder has proved extremely inferior. The prices realised for the former have varied from 141. to 191., and for the latter 275. to 435. per head. At the out ports no arrivals have taken place, neither are any ex pected fur somelime hence. Speaking prospectively, we may intimate that great exertions are being made in Germany and Ilolland, especially in the latter coun try, t o improve their stock, so as to render k a profit able venture in our markets. That they will succeed in their endeavours we entertain very little doubt ; hence we are looking forward to very large imports during the present year. Hitherto the lambing season has gone on well, and very few losses have resulted from the severity of the weather. Mark-lane, as well as nearly the whole of the principal local markets, has been again well sup plied with wheat of home produce. O wing to the extreme caution manifested on the part of the dealers in effecting purchases, the demand for that article has been, on the whole, dull; yet the value of the finest qualities has been steadily supported—that of most other kinds having had a downward tendency. Barley, both of home and foreign growth, having come very freely to hand, has sold heavily, at a reduction of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Superfine malt may be con sidered as having supported previous currencies; but the middling and inferior kinds have been almost unsale able. Oats and beans have ruled about stationary; but peas and flour have again declined. Our advices from Scotland are to the effect that the winter wheats are looking remarkably strong and healthy. The various markets have been rather more steady than with us, yet some diffi culty has been experienced in obtaining the quotations ruling in December. The shipments of oats from Ireland during this month have been by no means large, in conse quence of th e extremely low prices at which that article has been selling here. Prime qualities of that description of grain, as well as those of wheat, have met a fair inquiry at full quotations. Other wise the tr a d e has ruled dull. All agricultural la bours appear to be forward. The sixth anniversary of the marriage of her Majesty, on Monday next, will be celebrated by public dinners at Windsor, Egham, &c. ; and a ball in honour of the event will take place at the latter town. THE UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE FOR FEBRUARY. —Marshal Marmont, Duke of Ragusa , one of the most distinguished of Napoleon's celebrated commanders, has written an essay on " The Spirit of Military Institu tions," which has attracted great attention on the Con tinent, and can scarcely fail of being regarded with at least equal interest in this country—it being the result, as the author declares, of the recollection of twenty campaigns, Every officer in the B r iti s h army should at once make and more th a n half a century o f ex peri e nce. himself acquainted with the ideas of this veteran, as they will enable him to gain a knowledg e of his p rofession which it i s impossible he could acquire in any other way. The Marshal has written different chapters, oa Defini tions—General Principles— Strategy—Tactics—Mancau vres—On the Organisation, Formation, and Mainte nance of Armies—On Infantry—and On Cavalry : and writes in a spirit of impartiality which is amongst the greatest recommendations of his essay-. A well-executed translation of this valuable work will be found in The United Service Magazine for February. TURN-our OF MESSRS. BLAIR AND BURTON'S POWER -LOO M WEAVERS.—A fortnight since we noticed the turn-out of the power-loom weavers in the employ ment of the above firm. We have much satisfaction in announcing that it is at an end, and that the hands have returned to work at an advance of ten per cent. on all fabrics, and an understanding that if any kinds are not paid as well as those of other employers in the town, they are to be advanced to the same terms.—Bolton Free Pres& A SERIES OF CRIMES. There is now in Carmarthen county gaol a man named Benjamin Jones, who is committed for trial on three distinct charges, and it is not unlikely that a fourth, and still more serious one, will be brought against him. It will be remembered, that during the celebrated Re becca disturbances a series of events connected with a family of the name of Thomas took place which were of so fearful a nature as to excite horror in the mind of every one. gr. Thomas, of Pantycerrig, in the parish of Llanfi hangel-Rhosyorn, an elderly man, possessed of a large farm, and otherwise well off in the world, missed a num ber of his sheep, which he suspected to have been stolen by some neighbours of his. The parties on whom sus picion fell were two sons of a blacksmith, named Jones, and steps were taken to bring them to jastica. Mr. Thomas made himself too active in prosecuting them, and drew upon himself the vengeance of the Re beccaites, with whom, it is supposed, Jones's sons must have been connected, and in whose lawless proceedings they were, doubtless, implicated. The sons kept out of the way of the officers of justice for some time. Meanwhile, a mob of armed men called on Mr. Thomas in the night, compelled him to get up and accompany them to a neighbouring farm-house, and when there they took some money from him. Shortly after a message was sent to Mr. Thomas, de siring him to call at Jones's house for the purpose of settling about the sheep-stealing affair. The old man west, and was never seen alive afterwards. His body was found in a brook on his road home, the head and shoulders completely out of the water, and in such a situation that scarcely any doubt could be entertained that he had not met his death by accident. Thomas's house and farm buildings were burnt to the ground in the night, and sad havoc was made of his property. Suspicion of course fell upon Jones's son, Benjamin, who absconded, and remained concealed for nearly a twelvemonth. A reward of 1001. was offered for his ap prehension, and every exertion was used to discover his retreat. All was, however, in vain, until about a month back, when be was apprchendd and conveyed to prison. He was then charged with the ::heap-stealing, for which offence he was fully commit _,':. Evidence being forthcoming, he was next chargsd with having set Mr. Thorods's house on fire, and for this offence he was also committed for trial. It then came out, that while prowling about Mr. Thomas's premises one night, a servant saw him and immediately asked him " what he wanted there ?" He gave an evasive answer, arid then asked for ayou:ig man who was employed as firm servant. The girt said, "I suppose you want to serve him the same as you did my master, Mr. Thomas ?" Jones replied, " I do not regret anything that I ever did to your master, and I am only sorry I did not kill him sooner." Upon this a quarrel ensued between him and the girl, and he eventually drew a knife and attempted to cut her throat. Mrs. Thomas, of Pantycerrig, coming up at the time, gave the alarm, and the girl was saved from the villain.: So true it is, that when a bad man begins to lose his station, every one lends a hand to keep him down, that those witnesses who before were fearful of giving evi deuce are now eager to attend and be examined. Jones was chai.'ged with cutting and maiming the ser ♦ant girl, and after a lengthened investigation fully committed on the third charge. Mr. J. L. Price, the magistrate, has been extremely active in getting the cases up against the prisoner, and there seems to be now no doubt that a charge will be preferred against him for the murder of Mr. Thomas. He now lies in gaol awaiting his trial for three offences, and probably before the assizes other eases may be made out against hins.•—• Welchman! BONDED WAREHOUSES IN MANCHESTER.—We recently copied a paragraph from a Li ver p oo l paper , announcing that several Liverpool brokers had deter mined to open establishments in Manchester, in orch:r to avail themselves of the facilities for the disposal of foreign produce, which will be afforded by the establishment of bonded warehouses in the town. We now learn that the following three firms have already opened offices here —namely, Messrs. Corrie and Co., of Liverpool and London; Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co., of Liver pool; and Messrs. Bushby, Son, and Foster, of Liverpool. We understand also, that, in addition to the above firms, two first-rate houses in London, and one in Liverpool, have signified their intention to form Manchester esta blishments. These proceedings are calculated, as our readers will readily perceive, to exercise a very important influence upon the success of the bonding system in this town ; and, as they are fort una t e l y a id e d b y the graspires policy of the Liverpool warehouse owners, who have just compelled the corporation to sacrifice the best portions of the new fire-proof warehouses on the dock quays, lest they should compete to o p ower f u ll y w i th pr i vate property of that kind, we ha ve no d ou b t great progress will be made in the bonding of goods in this town during the present year.—. Manchester Guardian. SAGACITY AND FIDELITY OF A. DOG.—Monday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Middlesex Hos pital, on the body of W. Chadd, a farm-labourer, aged sixty-five, who was found by a dog, with his throat cut, in Hendon Wood. W. Smith, a farmer's boy, stated that as he was driving his master's hogs into the wood, he was met at the entrance of the wood by deceased's dog, which appeared frantic and barked furiously. Terrified by the dog's ap pearance, he returned towards his master's farm, and told a man of the occurrence. The man accompanied him to the wood, where they found deceased leaning against a tree, with his throat cut, and his faithful dog stretched on his side. Near the spot were two knives, the one open and the other closed. Deceased, who was insensible and speechless, was conveyed in a cart to the hospital. Mr. Baddeley, house-surgeon, deposed that the deceased was brought to the hospital as far back as November, with a wound inflicted in his throat with a knife or hedge bill. The wound was superficial, and deceased ont on very well for a few days, when he began to sink, and gradually declined until the 30th of January, when he died (as appeared upon a postmortem examination) of a softening and giving away 0. the brain. During his whole illness he was exceedingly sul len, and although able, would scarcely speak. Verdict, " Death from a disease of the brain." FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident oc curred on Friday last, at the Glanwern pit, belonging to C. H. Smith, Esq., which we regr. t to state resulted in the death of two colliers named Wm. Beddow, aged 42, and Wm. Howell, 28, the former having left a widow and eight children, and the latter a widow, to lament their bereavement. At the inquest on the bodies, held on the fidlowing day, at the Bony maen public-house, before C. Collins, Esq., Coroner, it appeared by the evidence of William Williams, that the deceased with two other persons wore engaged in sinking at the bottom of the pit. Witness attended to the engine, while another man named John Williams emptied each bucket as it was wound up by means of a new hempen rope. About half-past three on the morning in question, the bucket had been wound to the sheaf of the engine, when the rope broke, and the basket with its contents were precipitated to the bottom. Witness could have pre vented the occurrence of the accident had not his lamp been extinguished. Two men who came to their assist ance proceeded to the bottom of the pit in an ,ther basket, but by the same rope, and soon brought up the deceased, both of whom were then alive, but died in the course of fifteen minutes. The two other men in the pit were slightly injured. Verdict, "Accidental Death."--Cambrian. ILFORD. COMMITMENT OF A AIIardOFOLITAN POLICEMAN FOR FELONY.—George Wynch, one of the Metropolitan police-constables, was charged with steal. ing hair from the tails of horses belonging to Mr. Chilton, a farmer, residing at Chigwell.—James White, sergeant of police, stationed at Woodford, stated th a t, on Sunday morning, the 26th of January. about half past four o'clock, near the station at Woodford, he saw Winch, who asked him to allow another constable to go to Wanstead with the reports, instead of him, as be had hurt himself getting over a hedge from the forest, to a lane leading to Mr. Chilton s ; in consequence of this representation another man was sent. On the same day witness heard that the prisoner was sus pected of having stolen hair from the tails of Mr. Chilton's horses, and the hurt he had received was not by getting over a hedge, but a kick from a horse ; wit ness afterwards saw Mr. Chilton and one of his men ,• and in consequence of the information he received from them, he went to the prisoner's house and told him ho was suspected, and asked him what hair he had ; witness knew that the prisoner employed his lei sure hours in making brushes. A quantity of hair was produced, which the prisoner said was all he had. Wit ness then searchod and found more, which appeared like the hair from one of Mr. Chilton's horses ; on examining it there was some bean straw iu it, and Mr. Chilton's horse was littered down with similar straw. He examined Winch's clothes, and found one of the knees of his trousers wet and saturated with stable manure ; his coat was covered with blood, and blood was discovered in the stable be hind where the horse had been standing ; the hair was shown to Mr. Chilton and identified by him. Mr. Chil ton and his horse-keeper were examined, and the pri soner was committed to take his trial at the next ad journed sessions at Chelmsford.—...Essex Herald. DUNCHURCH. — INCENDIARISM.—On the evening of Wednesday, the 22d ult., a most atrocious attempt was made to burn the corn and other elks of Mr. W. Blick, of the Dun Cow Inn, and of Mr. J. Bit lingham, of Toft, in the same parish. In Mr. Blick's rick-yard were standing four large stacks of wheat and other grain, in one straight line, also ricks of hay, &c. About a quarter before nine o'clock at night, it was discovered that one of the middle ricks of wheat was on fire ; an alarm was immediately given, and it being so early in the niqht, a Jar re num ber of the inhabitants speedily assembled, and by that: united and vigorous exertions, the flames, which hs't done but little damage, were in a short time sulalue3, and the danger of further mischief removed. But whilst all were uniting their energies to stop the progress of the fire, an alarm reached them that a , steat-stack of Mr. Billingham, of Toft, was on fire. Very provideetiad, . but little l oss was sus t a i ne d i n e i t h er case . O n t h e F r id a y following, it was discovered that an attempt had been made to burn a wheat-rick of Mr. W. Lawrence, of Thurlaston, in the same parish. A small hole was burnt in the rick, but (as it is supposed) before the flame was sufficiently strong to :extend without fuel, the Lucifer matches, which had been thrust into the rick, fell out, as several were found upon the ground underneath the burnt hole in the rick. Rewards are offered in each case for the discovery of the author of these diabolical acts. — Warwick Advertiser.
