SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. nO3l THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—In the speech of Lord Aberdeen, delivered at the banquet given by the merchants of Lo n d on t o an d in honour o f Sir Henry Pottinger, his Lordship remarked that " the meeting possesst:d nothing of a political character." To a certain extent this was true. But, though the occasion was not decidedly " political," the re miniscences to which it gives rise are emphatically so. It leads the public mind back to the debates in Parliament on the Chinese war ; it calls up the House of Commons scenes when Sir James Graham brought forward his motion in condemnation of the Whig Ministers for having un dertaken it ; and expatiated en the injustice and the impolicy of the Chinese expedition ; it reminds us of the pious and humane Mr. Gladstone's expression, that the poisoning of the water-tanks by the natives was a thing qu:te "of course." Who that heard and read these things could anticipate such an event as that of Wednes day evening ? The Ministers—who as Opposition leaders condemned the Chinese war, as fraught with the elements of folly and crime—assemble with the members of the Administration they assailed on this very question, to confer honour on the Envoy who was commissioned by the Government they had long sought to destroy, and endeavoured to effect its destruction for directing the war to be commenced. We find these very men paying compliments to the Government they then assailed, as well as to the Envoy they had selected—in fact, bearing testimony against themselves, by the praises which, through their colleague, Lord Aber deen, they consented to lavish upon Lord Pal merston, and his Chinese policy ! In acknow ledging the graceful compliments paid to him by the Noble Lord, his successor at the Foreign office, Lord Palmerston gave a gentle hint, which the company appreciated, and loudly cheered :—" We have assembled here fur a common purpose—men of all shades of politics are met—members of the Cabinet which began the expedition, and members of the Ca binet which succeeded it, and which, though differing from their predecessors on many other essential points, yet felt it their duty, when clothed with the respon sibility of office, to continue the operations in China, which were in progress when they came into power." —(Cheers.) It is well for them, and for the country, that they did "continue" those operations. They might have abruptly terminated the war. Acting upon their ex pressed and faction-inspired denunciations of the Chinese war. They might have withdrawn the troops, and boasted of their consistency. They knew better than to do so. They persisted in the course which they had condemned in their predecessors ; and reaped where they had not sown. The improvement in trade, fur which the present Government takes credit to itself, is, to a considerable extent, the result of the openings which China presents for British manufactures—openings for which the country is indebted to the policy which was condemned by the members of the now approving Go vernment when in opposition. The large sum paid by the Chinese under the treaty of peace concluded between the two countries, as a compensation to Great Britain for the expenses of the war—this large contribution toward supplying the deficiency in th e E xc h equer , an d to the surplus revenue of which Sir Robert Peel boasts as the fruit of his financial skill, is the pro duct of the policy which the present Government con demned, affected to deplore, and sought to counteract. " Clothed with the responsibility of office," their eyes became enlightened as to what was required to main tain the honour and advance the interests of the country; and " they continued the operations in China," which they had, with unanimity and earnestness, condemned. Thus it is. In Parliament and outside its walls—in the measures they propose, and in the speeches they deliver when expounding or defending them—in the language they employ when addressing public meetings, whether economical or festive, the present Ministers are com pelled to justify the policy of the Government they ob structed, and eventually upset. STANDARD.—We owe an apology for having ne glected to direct attention, yesterday, to the remarkable and most gratifying scene on the preceding evening at Merchant Tailors' Hall—the entertainment given to Sir Henry Pottinger, by the principal merchants of London. This brief delay has given to most of our morning Con temporaries an advantage over us, but an advantage com pensated by the opportunity we have of considering their opinions. It is a very old observation, that to the acqui sition of lasting fame two things are necessary, great talents and good fortune. Sir IL Pottinger has been abundantly favoured with both, and he has employed both in the manner best fitted to establish his own renown, and to promote the honour, prosperity, and happiness of his country, and through her to promote the advancement of the human race. It was not an ex aggeration that the Chairman employed when he com pared the opening of the Chinese empire to the commerce and social interests of Europe, with the achievements of Vasco di Gams and Christopher Co lumbus. Whether we regard the difficulty of the task, the innocency of the means by which it has been accomplished, or the probable benefit to mankind, we must place the adoption of the Chinese empire into the family of civilised nations far before the opening of the maritime passage to India, or the discovery of the western world. In the intercourse of mankind, moral obstacles are always harder to surmount than obstacles that are merely physical. The passage from London to New York, or, indeed, to the Antipodes—New Zealand and Australasia—is much more certain and secure, upon the average of years, than that across the narrow isth mus w hi c h separates the Mediterranean from the Red Sea. In less than three centuries civilisation has tamed what was the vast desert of North America, from the Floridas to Detroit, but in ten times three centuries civilisation has mad little proeress in the abode of the Arabs. The case of China itself, however, so long courted by civilised nations, and so long inaccessible, is the most remarkable example of the repulsive force of purely moral difficulties. When we boast, too, of the innocency of the means by which China has been thrown open, we must not be understood as justifying the origin of the war which has led to so happy a result, or even to the unsurpassed skill and gal lantry with which that war was conducted. We may consistently deplore the original quarrel, we may dismiss all feeling as to the mode in which the war was con ducted, except admiration, for the skill, gallantry, and, above all, humanity, of our soldiers and sailors ; and yet exult with unalloyed triumph in the good which wi s d om has drawn out of what was at first perhaps evil. We must not be supposed to detract from the merits of our brave sail ere and soldiers— they discharged the duty assigned to them as British sailors and solders always discharge their duty, and as no other sailors or soldiers can ; they ac consplished what no other men in the world could accom splish. Far be it from us to detract from their claim upon the admiration of their country, but truth requires us to say, that their victory was followed by a victory still more important, in the use made of their glorious suc cesses. It is at the end of their serviees that the proudest triumph of the British name commences. Tho war might have been continued along the whole almost endless coast of China, with, no doubt, the same brilliant success that characterised the last campaign, but without any other useful consequence, and continued for ever, were it not f.)r the wisdom of the man who saw and seizsd the proper moment to ter minate it, and used the means best calculated to termi nate it to the benefit of his country and his species. A flint stone," says Lord Bacon, "is found to be more easily broken upon a feather bed, than a steel anvil." And never was the principle of the great philosopher illustrated mere faithfully or mere successfully applied, than by Sir Henry Pottinger ; he prepared the softest conditions to serve as the basis of his pacific negotiation, and upon those soft conditions he shattered into fragments that obdurate barrier which had from the creation separated China from the world—almost literally " tote p•-nitas dtvisa orte." We freely costcede to Sir H. Pottinger all the praise of this great, this inappreciable achievement; and in conceding it we do not feel that we do the least wrong to the Government under which ho acted. To put fit men into fitting offices, and having put them there, to repose unbounded confidence in them, is the one secret of success in all the affeirs of life, great and small ; the master's eye may he useful to keep the labourer from idleness, or to restrain the cashier from dishonesty ; but in the details of complicated affairs, the roaster's eye, the master's opinions, the master's interference can do nothing but mischief, for this plain reason, that the party who conducts the details must of necessity know more about them than any one else can. The more highly, therefore, we esteem the services of Sir Henry Pottinger, the more highly must we speak of the wisdom that left him free to the exercise of his own powerful talents. There is, is this respect, the reverse of an opposition of in tenets between Sir Henry and her Majesty's Mi nisters. We cannot admire the wisdom with which the confidence of the Government has been employed and repaid, without as much admiring the wisdom with which it was reposed. Nor let this latter wisdom be lightly prized. We are, happily, rich in examples of sagacity and fidelity in the public service, but instances of the courage and self-denial which embrace the risk of loss, or embrace any other serious responsibility, in reliance upon the sagacity and fidelity of others—rare, in all the concerns of life, are most rare in political affairs. It is impossible to read the dispatches of' Lord Nelson or the Duke of Wel lington, or any of the multitudinous correspondences published in Parliamentary reports, without a painful sense of the extent to which the public service has always suffered by the imperfect confidence which all the Governments before the present, have generally reposed in public servants. This, we repeat it, must be the effect of cowardice or self conceit, or, in the case of governments, of a habit de rived from the constant indulgence of these weaknesses by former governments. It is not the least of the merits of Sir Robert Peel's Government if it has boldly broken through this wretched habit in all cases, as it certainly has; and with what splendid success we see in the cases of China and Canada. Having thus hastily alluded to the difficulties to be encountered in opening the Chinese empire, and to the innocency and even generosity of the means employed, we need not expend a word in allusion to the boundless advantages obtained by a free pacific communication with three hundred and fifty millions of men, previously as much estranged from us as it they occupied another planet. These advantages will nut be felt perhaps for a few years to a great extent, but they are vast beyond the power of imagination to conceive.

FOREIGN.-There has been a falling off in the de mand for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar since this day week ; holders however manifest firmness, and prices differ little from those of last year.

TEA.-Thero has been less activity in the market this week, and only a small amount of business has been transacted by private treaty. There was not much spirit in the biddings at the public sales which commenced yesterday, and finished this afternoon. Pro prietors however manifested firmness, and bought in several parcels at stiff rates. Of the quantity offered, amounting to 18,041 packages, 5,450 were disposed of at previous rates excepting for Hyson and Gunpowder, which went Id •to lie under former prices ; scented Orange Pekoe went rather higher ; Congou ord sold at 10d to 100, fresh and new kinds 11d, rather coarse to rather strong 1114 to Is id, blackish leaf to blackish leaf rather strong, is 2d, blackish leaf Pekoe kind Is 6cl to 2s, Souchong fine 2s, to 2s Id, Pouchong 6d to 7d, Flowery Pekoe 2s 4d, blackish leaf Pekoe is Id, Orange Pekoe is sd, fine scented 3s 4d to '33 4id, llyson common 2s 6d to 2s 61d, fair good 2s 7d. to 2s 10d, fine to superfine 3s to 6s, Young llyson, Canton and Twankey kind 2s 3d, Hyson Skin common Is, Imperial Canton Twankey kind 2s 6d to 2s 9d, Hyson kind 2s lOid to 3s 2d, Gunpowder Hyson kind 3s 3d to 4s 7ia, Canton 2s 4d to 2s 9d, Campio is, Twankey fine to Hyson kind 2s to 2s 4d, common is 3d, but mid is 4d per lb. Russ, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Ifolders of Leeward Island Rum are not inclined to submit to any further de cline in prices, but the business transacted this week has been to a small extent only at 2s 3id to 2s 4d proof strength. The market is in a very dull state for Jamaica, and the tendency of prices is downwards ; 28 to 34 per cent. 0. P. is. 3s 7d to 3s 11d, superior 4s to 6s ; there are several parcels on offer. Prices are still on the decline for Calcutta, and sales for arrival have been made at 2c to 2s Id per gallon, proof, with certificate, and at 2s 2d to 2s 2id here. Demerara has been taken sparingly, strong descriptions at 3s to 3s 5d per gallon. The stock of East India is 2,100 casks, and of West India 2,200 casks less than it was in 1843 at this time. In the best sorts of Brandy there has been a good deal doing at firm rates, but for common and mid kinds there are not many purchasers.

East India are still fetching former prices. Cocoa.-West India has met with ready purchasers, and the parcels of Trinidad disposed of privately have been at stiff rates ; the supply of good and fine kinds is not ample for the demand-the public sales of 185 bags of Grenada went briskly, good red at 465, middling 42s 6d, and common at 41s per cwt.

The low sorts of Java are in request at previous rates. Cleaned Rico at 14; to 183 for Patna, and 23; to 27; pur cwt •for Carolina. Isnsuo.-The dulness in the market for East India has increased, and so limited has been the business trans acted for shipping and home consumption this week, that it is difficult to quote prices with accuracy; indeed, they are little better than nominal. In Spanish there has been very little business transacted, and if parcels were to be pressed fur sale a decline in prices would be the result. The quarterly sale of East India has been fixed for the 21st of January ; already 3,306 che s ts are advertised.

To THE LADIES.—The high and universal cele brity which ROWLAND'S RALTDOR continues to main tain, as an active yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the skin, is, during the present period most pleasingly evinced. This preparation eminently balsamic, restoraCce, and invigorating, is equally celebrated fur safety iu application, as for unfailing efficacy in remov.. ing all impurities and discolorations ; and imparting a healthy freshness to the skin and complexion. Its uni versally groat demand excites the cupidity of unprin cipled Shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" KALYDOR to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral a , tringent s utter l y ru i nous to the complexion, and, b y their repell ant action endangering health.

(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) His Lorlhhip has been occupied all day in the investi gation of cases of a disgusting charccter, the particulars of which, of course, are unfit to meet the public eye. William Ennefer was indicted for a rape upon a little girl of the name of Emma Townsend, under the age of ten years, at Kingswinford. Mr. Cope conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Woolrych, who, by a very able and ingenious address, succeeded in procuring his acquittal upon the graver charge, the jury by their verdict con • victing him of an assault only, for which he was sen tenced to imprisonment, with hard labour, for three years. William Powell, aged 40 (a married man), was placed at the bar charged with a rape upon a little girl of rather interesting appearance, under the age of ten years. The trial occupied some hours ; several witnesses were called for the defence, who swore they would not believe the mother of the prosecutrix upon her oath, and added that they considered her a woman of bad character. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution replied with much ability upon the case for the defence, but so much doubt was east upon the testimony of the principal wit ness against the prisoner that the jury, influenced by that, and by a skilful speech from the Learned Advocate who addressed them on his behalf, ultimately pro nounced a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. Justice PArrEsox.) John Booth, aged 22, was charged with burglarlously breaking into the house of Wm. Mansion, at Crick, in this county, and stealing. On the night of the 15th of November last, Marsden, who lives in a house by himself, had gone to bed at eleven o'clock, after having seen his premises properly secured. Soon after he was awoke by three men entering his room, one of them having a coulter in his hand. The men, with threats, demanded his money, and succeeded in taking from his purse 4s. Having a notion that more coin was to be had in the house, they asked Marsden to say where it was, but he denied having any beides what they had taken. The man with the coulter threatened to murder him ; but Booth interposed, saying, " No, don't kill him—don't kill him." They were then retir ing, but Booth turned round, and addressing prosecutor, said, " This house is yours." Crowder said, "It is." Booth said, " If we don't kill you will you leave it to me ?" Marsden said, " I will." They then quitted the premises. Soon after Booth was apprehended, Marsdent went to the room where he was confined, and being shown a number of men, he immediately picked out Booth as one of the three men who committed the burglary. The jury pronounced a verdict of Guilty. He was then tried for a similar offence, eommitted in the house of an old man at Shirland, in which rubbery, as in the former case, two other men were with him. The wife of the prosecutor, who is 84, recognised Booth as haring entered the bedroom of herself and hus band with a bludgeon in his hand. No violence, how ever, was committed. This robbery was committed the same night. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. The assizes for this county terminated at a quarter past four. The commission will be opened at Notting ham on Saturday. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--Liverpool, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) Michael Pigott, alias Pickett, was indicted for having feloniously, after a previous conviction, uttered a coun terfeit shilling to Ann Jones, at Liverpool, on the 9th of November last. Mr. Cobbett and Mr. Whigham conducted the pro secution, and Mr. James defended the prisoner. The evidence under the present charge was, that the prisoner had passed the bad shilling in payment for a glass of ale, and on being told it was a counterfeit, ran away. Mr. JAMES contended that there was a variance be tween the copy record produced, that of a conviction at the Liverpool Borough Sessions, and the recital of it in the present indictment, inasmuch as the indictment, fol lowing the words of the record in evidence, stated that the prisoner was tried " at the borough aforesaid, and within the jurisdiction of this Court," which words, " this court," must be considered as referring to the present Court of Assize. It was argued for the prosecution, that the word " this" referred to the court before mentioned, " at the borough aforesaid," and that as it was not necessary to set out the whole previous record verbatim, the variance, if any, was not material. Mr. Baron GURNEY held the objection to be good, and the prisoner was therefore acquitted. He stood further charged fur the misdemeanour in ut tering, and was thereon found Guilty. He had been twice before convicted, and was sentenced to be impri soned for one year, with hard labour. Joseph M'Caughie, aged 40, was indicted for having, in the month of October last, attempted to discharge a loaded pistol at one William Arkle, with intent to kill and murder him. There were other counts, laying the attempt with intent to do grievous bodily harm, &c. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Brandt and Mr. Paget. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Arkle was a super intendent landing-surveyor in the Prince's Dock, and that the prisoner had been employed as a landing waiter there. In consequence of the prisoner being charged with drunkedness he was turned out of his employ, and shortly afterwards came to the dock with the intention apparently of being avenged for the loss of his employ on Mr. Arkle. After inquiring for Mr. Arkle, he went towards the place where Mr. Arkle was, met him, and pointed a pistol at him, but did not dis charge it. It seemed doubtful, upon the evidence, whe ther the pistol at the time it was pointed by the prisoner was in a condition to be discharged. The prisoner, who was not defended by counsel, read a long written statement, in which he complained of the hardship of being thus turned off, stating that he was unable to get a character from the Custom-house, and that since his discharge his own condition and that of his wife and children had been one of the greatest wretched. ness, having no better prospect before them than the workhouse. He admitted that he had approached Mr. Arkle with the intention to do him an injury, but when he beheld him his conscience was smitten with horror at the idea of such an act, and that he had then imme diately taken the cap off the pistol, and thrown it away. Verdict —G uilty. His LORDSHIP, after a solemn admonition to the pri soner on the enormity of the offence he had contem plated, sentenced lihn to be imprisoned for two years. George Jordan and George Wylie stood indicted for having , at Bootle-cum-Lim:ere, burglariously br o k en a nd entered the dwelling-;louse of John Percival, called the Derby Arms, on the 10th of August, and stolen therein a shawl, coat, and other articles. Jordan pleaded guilty to the charge. Wylie was ac quitted. There was a previous conviction against the other prisoner. Sentenced to be transported for twenty years. Charles Pilling, aged 21, and William Wylde, aged 24, were charged with having, at Tunge, on the 19th of October, assaulted Thomas Holden, put him in bodily fear, and stolen from his person the sum of three gyve reigns. Both convicted, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. York, Dee. 12. Owing to the great number of prisoners for trial at these assizes, it was found impossible that Mr. Justice Coleridge could get through the business in time for opening the Commission at Durham. Mr. Justice Cress well accordingly arrived at York last night to assist in the trial of prisoners. Two courts have, therefore. been open during the day. The only cases of public interest which have come before their Lordships are here sub joined:— (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Benjamin Collinson (out on bail) was charged with having, on the 2tith of July last, at Dewsbury, burgla riously broken into the dwelling-house of George Earn shaw, and stolen therefrom four pairs of blankets, 20 shihings in silver, and one shilling in copper.—The prisoner was Acquitted. Mr. WILKINS said it was only due to his client to state that ninety-two persons had subscribed their six pences and shillings towards the prisoner's defence, and he held a testimonial from the vicar of the parish, giving the prisoner a most excellent character. Peter Higgins was charged with having stolen from the counting-house of Charles Exley, a pocket-book and about 1731. in notes; and Ann thyyins was charged with having, on the 31st of July, at Wakefield, received one 301, sixteen 51, notes, and one 101. note, the property of the said Charles Exley, well knowing them to have been stolen. The jury, after a short retirement, returned a verdict of Guil►y against both the prisoners. Peter Higgins was sentenced to transportation for 20 years. A former conviction was proved against Ann Higgins, who was sentenced to transportation for 14 yeays. _ _ - WM. Thompson, alias Luke Thompson, alias Blueskin, was charged with having, on the 22d of January, 1843, feloniously shot at Thomas Carr, of Hall Moor, near York, with intent to murder - , disable, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. %- Mr. WILKINS opened the case to the jury. He ob served that this case was indeed an extraordinary one, and ono which he thought was calculated to teach all persons woo might be acquainted with its history a very important lesson. He was sure it would not be a lesson lost upon them in the discharge of their duty on that and all other occasions, and he felt it was a lesson which every man would do well to lay to heart before he came into a witness-box to speak against a fellow -creature. Already a m an name d M ason h a d b een tr i e d f or t hi s identical offei:ce--convicted and sentenced to transpor tation. If h e (Mr. Wilkins) was we ll i nstructed, he thought th e j ury would b e fu ll y conv i nce d t h at that poor fell ow (M ason) had been suffering for the crimes of others, a s i t would be shown to t h em f rom t h e mouth of the prisoner himself; that he with others committed that offence—that Mason was tot present—and that in fact Mason was not known to the parties who committed the robbery. Ile (Mr. Wilkins) believed some hasty but well-intended observations had been made in a portion of the public press in this city on the conduct of the policeman to whom the information was given in this matter ; but he thought the gentleman who wrote ..hat article, and all who might hear the history of this case, would be of opinion, if they looked into his transaction, that the offi cer had conducted himself with becoming caution, dis cretion, and humanity. When the prisoner first imparted the intelligence to the policeman, he was in duty bound immediately to make it known to Mr. Chalk, the super intendent. Mr. Chalk very properly requested that cor roborative testimony s hould be obtained whereby to sub stantiate the statement, and at the same time secure the release of Mason. The jury would, he thought, be of opinion that caution was required, and that a little delay was necessary to bring this matter to a successful issue. l The principal evidence against the prisoner was a con fession made by himself to the police. The jury found the prisoner Gulley, and he was seri tt need to twenty years transportation. (His Lordship, in passing sentence, intimated that im mediate steps would be taken for the recal of the inno cent convict, Mason, and that Government, in all likeli hood, would award him compensation.) (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) William Barker and John Holden were charged with having, on the Bth of November last, at Stanfield, in the West Riding, feloniously assaulted John Baiston, and stolen from his person one 10/. note, two 51. notes, 70 sovereigns, 20 half-sovereigns, 20 shillings, and two books, the property of the said John Baiston. . . The prosecutor identified Barker as being one of the men who robbed him on the night in question. He also stated that Barker, prior to the robbery having been committed, was in his employ as a labourer. His Lordship having summed up, the jury, after being absent about half an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. —Sentence deferred. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmunds, nee. 12. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIANts.) Charles Hogg, aged 24, and Charles Scutchen, aged 19, were indicted for burglariously entering the shop, being part of the dwelling-house of Simeon Fenton, on the 23d of October, and stealing three silver watches, two silver watch-cases, one time-piece, and several other articles. Mr. Gurdon prosecuted, and Mr. O'Malley defended both prisoners, It appeared by the evidence, that on the night of the burglary the prosecutor returned home soon after eleven, and on applying the key to the lock of the shop-door, he found it unlocked; he then pushed open the door, and in the act of doing so, his knuckles touched somebody on the breast; a man immediately rushed by him, mid a second person attempted to do the same, but he secured him, and he turned out to be the prisoner Scutchen. A neighbour of the prosecutor, who had accomp.,nied him as far as the shop-door, and was then proceeding home, heard the prosecutor call for assistance; he immediately ran back, and just as he arrived at the prosecutor's house he saw a man coming out of the door, apparently over the prosecutor's shoulder. He endeavoured to seize him, and, after a struggle, both went to the ground, and at the same time three silver watches were thrown into the street. The man escaped and ran down Abbey-gate-street, several persons following in pursuit. The most remarkable part of the case was the courageous conduct of a " fair" young neighbour of the prosecutor, who, it appeared, on hearing the cry of "stop thief," immediately opened her door and looked out, and seeing a man corning up Abbey-gate-street closely pursued by two persons, instantly placed herself in the middle of the street, and, as soon as the man came up, rushed at him, and attempted to seize him by the collar, and in the act of doing so the man gave her a violent blow on the face, which knocked her down ; but fortunately the night was sufficiently light to enable the " fair assailant" to identify the man as being the prisoner Hogg, who was well known to her; he was also recognised by two or three persons who met him running up Abbey-gate-street. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS smeared up the case, and the jury, without the slightest hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. A former conviction was proved against Hogg, and he was sentenced to be transported for life, and in conse quence of the prisoner Scutchen receiving a good cha racter, he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour. The Learned JUDGE, in the kindest manner possible, intimated to the young woman who had displayed such great presence of mind, that if a amen sum of money would be in any way acceptable, he should feel much pleasure in ordering it to be presented to her. The young woman appeared much pleased with such an unexpected mark of his Lordship's approbation. William Ward, alias Ives, aged 21, and William Adams, aged 23, were indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of William Jennings, at Horharu, and stealing therefrom bank notes, gold, silver, and cop per, amounting altogether to 851.—Verdict, Guilty. Former convictions for felony were put in, and both the prisoners were sentenced to be transported for life. The prisoner Howe, who was convicted yesterday of the serious offence of arson, was sentenced this morning to fifteen years' transportation. WESTERN CI RCUlT.—Taunion, Dec. 12. (Before Mr. Aron ALDERSON.) George Freenzun and Henry Hall were in4ieted for a burglary in the house of William lioldatock, situated at Batheaston. Mr. Salmon prosecuted ; the prisoners were unde fended. The prosecutor in this case had left his house secure at nine o'clock on the morning of the robbery. He re turned to it again about five, when it was still safe, and then left for the residence of the gentleman for whom he worked as gardener. From information which he re ceived, he hastily returned to his house, taking a man of the name of Bailey, whom he met on his way, with him, and arming himself and Bailey with good sticks. On reaching his house, he saw a light in the top window, and calling out, he observed the light put out, and pre sently afterwards observed two heads put out of the window, which was thrown up. He called on Bailey to shoot them, in order to intimidate the robbers. Pre sently one of the men jumped out of the under window, who was immediately laid hold of by the prosecutor. Bailey secured the other man. They had removed various things, but had not carried off anything. The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against both, and they were sentenced by the Court to fifteen years' transportation. George Pritchard, was indicted for the manslaughter of his brother, Samuel Pritchard. The death it seemed was the result of accident. The jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MA NSIOIV-HO V SE. A boy, aged about 15 years, named Wm. Bowers, who is what is called a bobber, or fish carrier, at Bil lingsgate, was brought before the Lord Mayor for an extraordinary assault upon an old man, who acts as a fish porter to and from the fish-boats. The boy, who was represented as the very terror of the market, in consequence of the dangerous tricks he is in the habit of playing, watched Daniel Cun ningham, the complainant, carrying a barrel of sprats to shore, and the moment the poor man landed, made a head-over-heels tumble betweeni his legs, which threw him down, and by the fall cut his forehead. Upon recovering his legs the complainant missed his sprats, but he did not scribe the robbery to the de fendant, whom he believed to be merely mischievous, and to have no spice of thief in his composition. The boy, it seemed, could not conquer his propensity to annoy and afflict old men, and the complainant had frequently suffered from the passion so injuriously de veloped. The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Goldham, the clerk of the market, whether he knew anything of the de fendant ?—Mr. Goldhatn said there never came to Billingsgate a boy, or anything in the shape of a boy, who had such brains for annoying people. lie was, in fact, the very personification of mischief. Twenty times a-day complaints were made against him by the industrious people about the market, and everything had been tried to cur e hi m o f the disease, except the Lord Mayor's authority. The LORD MAYOR----*ell, prisoner, what have you to say to the charge ? You have not only grossly assaulted this poor man, but you have been the cause of the loss of his fish. The boy replied that the old gentleman fancied the thing in his cups, for that ho was drunk there was no mistake. Mr. Goldham stated that the complainant was per fectly sober, and was a most industrious and decent man. The boy—Why, he staggered over me as I was cutting along, and when he fell I was undermost. That don't look sober, does it ? As for the fish, I knew a boy ran away with it, but I never touched it. The father of the prisoner —I hope, my Lord, you and Mr. Goldham will be as light as possible on him; for, although he is so mischievous that I can do nothing with him, yet everybody is fond of him. The LORD MAYOR—What money does he make in the week ? The prisoner's father—That I don't know; but I know that he gambles it all away in tossing. The Loan MAYOR ---Will you be answerable that he do no more mischief in the market ? The pri soneT's father —I am really afraid, your Lordship. You have no idea at all of the mischief he does. The complainant--I don't care about the loss of the fish. All I want is, to have myself protected against his tricks. The Loan MAYOR—You must be paid for your loss, as well as be secured from future annoyance. Prisoner, your conduct has been so bad, that even your father, whose attachment to you is quite evi dent, hesitates to be bound for your future good be haviour, so that it becomes my duty to have you locked up by yourself till the 4th of January, when your trial will take place. Prisoner—Oh, my Lord, don't send me to prison, and I'll never offend again. He then cried bitterly. The complainant warmly interceded, and The LORD MAYOR said he should venture himself to take the prisoner's promise to pay for the fish in a week, and not to commit any offence of the kind again ; assuring him, at the same time, that if it should be necessary to bring him up again, nothing should save him from the rigours of a gaol. The boy then went away with his father, to all appearance quite subdued. . big fellow, named Hollingsworth, wh o i s fore man to Mr. Jackson, the contractor for building the Royal Exchange, was charged by Mr. Atkins, a gen tleman who resides in the neighbourhood of Conlin!, with having committed an assault upon him, by sprinkling him with a brush dipped in mortar and water. Mr. Atkins said that he stopped for about half, or, at most, three-quarters of a minute, to look at one of the men working before' the Royal Exchange, when the defendant dipped a brush in some dirt, and flung it about. The brush bespattered several persons, but witness in particular, and when he expostulated with the ruffianly fellow, he was told that he should have the whole pail of water over him if he did not go off. Two other gentlemen corroborated the account given by the complainant. 11011ingsWorth mid that 'he-was responsible for keeping the place at which the men worked, in front of the Royal Exchange, free from a mob of boys, by whom they were constantly interfered with and prevented from pursuing their work. He found that the use of a stick or a whip made them grumble, and therefore he used the brush dipped in water, which he found efficacious. He denied that he had threat ened to throw the pail of water over the complainant, or that he had seen the complainant at all. It was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt„ in answer to questions asked by the Lord Mayor of the defendant himself, arising from the defence, that the assault was quite unprovoked and unwarrantable; and His LORDSHIP called upon Hollingsworth to give his own security to .the amount of 401. to appear to answer at the sessions. Mr. Atkins having consented to accept an apology, upon the payment of the costs by the defendant, who made the apology in a most ungracious manner, he was discharged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

DARING. The following letter has been addressed by Captain Matson, of the Daring, to Mr. Joseph White, the builder : " H.M.S. Daring, Dec. 1, 1844. " My dear Sir,—We have had only one trial since I closed my last letter; with respect to Daring, it was the sane story over again; but I am able to give you a much better account of the Waterwitch, who showed her strength, and hung pretty close to our lee quarters. " On the 28th November, tried sailing by the wind, in fresh breezes, most of the brigs being under single-reefed main, and double-reefed fore topsails, and occasionally top-gallant-sails ; Daring had single-reefed fore and main topsails, and for a short time main top gallant sail; but as I had it all my own way, I took it in, and kept under easy sail, winning the race in a canter. Water witch carried a press of sail all day, had top-gallant sails set almost all the time, and appeared to stand up ad mirably. Osprey carried away her jib-boom, and Cruiser main top-gallant yard, soon after starting ; and Mutme missed stays in first tack, and afterwards carried away her jib boom—the third since leaving port. Pan taloon did nothing ; we were sailing, for the most part, against a hard sea, and she therefore went boldly to lee ward, although they have filled all her tanks with salt water. At the end of a six hours and a quarter's trial we had gained as follows :—On Waterwitch, 1,500 yards; Espiegle, 4,800 yards; Flying Fish, 7,500 yards; Pantaloon, abort: five miles—but her distance could not be measured, as she was barely in sight ; Osprey, Mu tine, and Cruiser, were out of sight, dead to leeward, about eight miles dist4nt. Had I carried top-gallant sails I might have been another mile to windward; but as the weather was so thick, I did net think that any angles could have been taken ; moreover, I wished to show that we could beat them all under less sail. The Waterwitch lost a great deal every time in tacking; she had not men enough to work . her properly, having twenty-two men on her sick list out of her small crew. All the brigs have very large sick-lists, averaging from fifteen to twenty, owing to their being so very wet. Darint;'s sick list has always been the smallest ; I have now only eight, and we have very seldom exceeded ten, mostly boys and Marines, who suffer from sea-sickness. " One of my officers yesterday received a note from a friend on board the Firebrand, who says there is but one opinion on board the Firebrand respecting Daring ; I have written several letters respecting her capabilities, copies of which I will send you with this letter. I think the Espiegle is decidedly rising in the scale ; and I think that the Mutine would have beaten the Flying Fish yes terday had she not carried away her jib-boom—l never saw her make so good a start: she is generally the very worst. The Commodore gave me an order to supply my spare jib-boom to Mutine, thinking, I suppose, that Daring is the least likely to carry oho away—l am glad of it, for I hope to get another in its place a couple of inches stouter. " December 3d, off the Lizard.—We made a glorious flank yesterday, running into the Channel; we tried with the wind a-beam, going 10i knots, under all plain sail, except royals. At starting Daring was No. 6 i n the line, but she soon passed them all, and led the field in fine style, gradually increasing her distance every half hour. At the end of a four hours' trial we had gained as follows :—On Espiegle, 2,400 yards ; Mutine, 2,540 yards ; Flying Fish, 3,080 yards ; Osprey, 3,200 yards; Waterwitch, 4,800 yards; Cruiser, 5,600 yards ; and Pantaloon, 10,000 yards. You will bee that although the Daring beat them all so much, the other four large brigs were very near together—only 800 yards difference between them. The little Waterwitch did very well ; she cannot be expected to run with the large brigs, but she showed herset off in comparison to Pantaloon. The Waterwitch tried to carry a fore topmast-stud-sail, but it did her more harm than good, and she took it in. Pantaloon was sailing on her beam. ends all the after noon—l certainly never saw a man-of-war heel over so much before, she must have sailed with an inclination of about thirty degrees ; she does not appear to be any stiffer than before she filled her water tanks. " At the end of the trial yesterday we were close in shore—about three miles from the Wolf Rock; the Com modore then made the signal to part company, and make the beat of our way back to the rendezvous, off the Lizard. I put the canvass on the Daring, and we were at our post by daylight, where we met the Commodore— the only vessel in sight. Omprey made her appearance this afternoon ; but at sunset neither of the others had arrived. " December 4.—Our trials are now over, and we are making the best of our way to Plymouth, with orders . to chase the Firebrand to the Eddystone ; the wind is light and baffling, and it depends more on chance than on good sailing who gets there first; however, I mean to see what I can do by daylight. Perhaps I may not have time to add anything more than to offer my since-re and hearty congratulations on your success in giving to the service so matchless a brig us the Daring.
