Accounts of a late date from New York, show the state of trade in that part of the world. The revenue from Customs is thus analyzed January February March 1843. 1844, 1845. Dollars. Dollars. Dollars. 548,046 1,876,615 1,677,969 492,216 2,169,100 1,347,456 636,596 1,691,524 1,575,680 Total This table shows that the greatest falling off in the re ceipts from Customs was in February ; the decrease that month, compared with the corresponding month last year, being 821,644 dollars. The total decrease fer the quarter was 1,136,138 dollars. The importations this season have been nearly as large as for the same time last year, while the duties have fallen off about 20 per cent. The importations have only diminished about 7 per cent. To have brought about this state of things, the average rate of duty upon the imports must have been very much reduced. The impor tations of free goods the first quarter this year were much larger than for the same quarter last year, but the increase was not sufficient to have made so wide a difference in the duties. The average rate of duty is annually decreasing, and in time a reduction to a revenue standard must be made. The folly of attempting to get an increased customs revenue, by the imposition of duties beyond what it is the interest of the importer to pay, is illustrated here as well as in every other instance, and if the writer of the New York Herald thinks to mend the matter by a further increase, he will not be long in receiving faller confirmation than ever of the truth of Swift's axiom, that two and two do not always make four. The position of the English Stock Market is more vacil lating than was the case a month since, when the same value was supported for a week together; but the speculators are aided in their operations by various political matters of some moment that have recently been passing in foreign coun tries. Consols have been down to 98% upon rather a large sale made, but are now at 98 7 1. Time bargains have been effected at 9878 3 / 4 . The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been 575. to 605., which is a slight advance. Bank Stock is MIA to 209, and India Stock 276 1 / 2 to 278. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 100 1 ,i ; and the Three per Cents. 97',14 14. The Foreign Bonds have not been so dull. Mexican have been a shade lower, 377 8 ' to 38, as the accounts from America still allude to the probability of a war. Buenos Ayres have realised 43 1 A, and Brazilian 88. Danish Stock is at 884 ; Portuguese Converted are 67 1 ,4 to I,j; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. have been 63 1 1 1 Railway shares in general are rather firm to-day. Chur net Valley, North Kent, and several others have advanced a little. South-Eastern are again lower. West-End and Southern Counties Junction are about premium. The Paris and Lyons Scrips are better, as the adjudication of this most important line is expected to take place within a very short period. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, an he is delighted to say it met with his most decided and perfect approval, and from the more than nasal care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as the happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil. The drawings were made by Mr. Danson on the spot, and present a bird's-eye view of the principal objects of the Old and New Town, the Firth of Forth, &c. The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this Establishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale. Mr. GODFREY has been occupied since the close of last summer, in com posing and arranging a varied and pleasing succession of superior Novelties, which will he produced in rotation, including some Ori ginal Pieces by Foreign Composers, not yet performed in this country.

OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA.—It would appear that this route is gaining a s muc h f avour for the transit of goods as it has for the con ve y ance of passengers. The comparatively short period employed compensates for the additional expense, more particularly with such Indian wares as materially depend upon their novelty for a market in this country, and which, if they did not arrive punctually at particular seasons, would disappoint the connoisseur and beau monde. The elaborately wrought Cashmere shawls, for instance, without a newness in which a fashionable season would suffer a depression, and for which thousands and thousands of pounds are annually expended by the house of Everington and Graham alone, who have adopted the overland . route in order to take the lead of Europe in bei n g the first in the field with this costly article.

THE HISTORY OF _ _ Home Secretary, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, ("Drat that dirty child, agin !" as Punch says of him), and the illustrious Police Commissioners dispatched to secure him. In spectors, constables, officers, warrants of a Secretary of State and a Jersey baillie, all fell upon him. Two lots (one, we presume, for his legs, the other for his torso), bore him to the terminus, and a special train, we ima gine, with a dotble allowance of loco-motives whirled him down to Southampton, where au " all-compel ling" steamer settled the business of his retransfer to the island of large pears and litigious people. What is to be the event of the contest between the island authorities and Mr. WILSON remains to be seen. But we suppose that its result is not very likely to be fa vourable to the latter, Seriously, however, if the exist ing state of the local law of Jersey and its relations to the law of England be such as to admit of no present remedy, or an appeal from a grievance like that which Mr. WILSON has unsuccessfully prosecuted to the Courts at Westminster, it is to be lamented that the Legislature should delay, for another session, some provision, by statute, for the better protection of English subjects in the enjoyment of English rights in the Channel Islands. There is but one remedy we can suggest, in the meantime, for the probable evils which our country men may encounter if they propose to follow the example of Mr. Wu,soN of settling in Jersey. It is the very obvious one of changing their purpose, and . shun ning such a residecce. It is probable that a determina tion of this kind, largely acted upon by the English frequenters and visitors of Jersey, would operate un pleasantly enough on the interests of the Jersey people ; but it is the surest and simplest device we can imagine for the avoidance of that sort of treatment of which Mr. WILSON'S case has been by no means a solitary specimen. In saying this, however, We offer no opinion on the merits of the original cause in the Jersey Court. It is merely against the vindictive spirit in which an inch vidual—an English subject —may be persecuted as well as prosecuted, that these remarks are di rected, and we would impress upon the public attention the necessity, which has been so often en forced, for consolidating and assimilating the laws rela j tire to the local jurisdictions, according to the spirit—as far as may be practicable— of the laws of England. At present tbeso local laws and customs are so various that what obtains in one place is prohibited in another. That may not be done here which is enjoined to be done thee.

TRIAL AT BAR.-THE GREAT DISTILLERY CASE. THE ATTORNEY• GENERAL V. GEORGE SMITH. THE SUMMING UP BY THE CHIEF BARON. At 10 o'clock the Court was crowded in consequence of its being generally understood that the proceedings would on this day be brought to a termination. Shortly after that hour the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Baron Platt entered the Court, and the names of the jurymen having been called ever, The Loan CHIEF BARON proceeded to sum up. After reciting the different counts in the information, his Lordship said that the jury would have only to deal with the first five, those which re lated to the alleged illegal communication between the distillery and the rectifying.house, and as all these referred to the same cir. cumstance the ♦erdict of the jury need only be taken on one of these counts. The case had lasted a very considerable time, much evidence had been received, and the question had excited intense interest, not only en account of the magnitude of the penalties claimed, but as it related to the public commerce generally. He thought with the Learned Counsel for the defence that the decision would turn upon the question of law; but in order to put the gentleman of the jury in possession of the outlines of the case, and of such facts as were proved before the Court, he should advert, very briefly h , wever, to its general history as they had it it In evidence. The Learned Judge then proceeded to explein the process of distillation as carried on upon the premises ; the law as passed in 1817 and the law of 1825, which still further amended the previous Act, and provided that distilleries should be removed to a distance of a quarter of a mile from rectifying-houses, so as to prevent the surreptitious conveyance of spirits from one work to the other. That Court and jury had nothing to do with the policy of the law, but whatever the law is fairly to act up to it. But as far as it might be important to the feelings of the jury to go on with the Legislature, he ought to state that it had been thought proper to makes variety of regulations, in many of which there were prohibitions of the means of committing fraud, whether fraud were committed or not, and prohibitions even of the semblance of the means. For instance, there were many prohibitions of the means of forgery, and they went so far, that if you had even any paper resembling the paper used by the Bank of England without using it—without even any intention of using it—to make it au offence. Therefore, upon this question of law, he. laid it down, entirely with the concurrence of the Court, that the meaning of the Act of Parliament was, that—without any inquiry whether the " way, means, or communication," had or had not been used—it was apparent that the Legislature thought it necessary, for the protec tion of the revenue—which, as they heard in evidence, amounted to 6,000,0001. per annum—to prohibit the means of committing fraud, whether these means should or should not, might or might not, have been used. The Act containing the prohibition to which he was now referring passed in the year 1825 ; and it was diffi cult to suppose that it passed without the attention of those who were eng iged in these important matters being drawn to its pro visions. Whatever took place in 1817—if anything tools place—did not appear before them, and as a legitimate subject of inquiry, that sank in importance compared with what took place or might or ought to have taken place, or might be expected to take place in 1825. It was difficult to imagine, considering the immense importance of this concern to the Government, that there should not have been a strict individual examination of any new law relating to it; and it was difficult to imagine that the effect of the law would escape the attention of those against whom it was directed. But whether or not is Dow, to us, in this inquiry, unimportant. it became law in 1825, and the question before them was, whether it had been broken or not—or, in other words, whether the two oc cupations of distiller on one premises, and of rectifier on another, carried o►► respectively on those premises, being situated within the distance of a quarter of a mile, and there being " any way, means, or communication," by which spirits or wash could be conveyed from one to the other. It appeared that no change took place in the respective premises of the Messrs. Smith Nor did any thing appear to have been done until 1836, and then alterations were made in the western part of the premises. An open trench was made between the two premises. It was made in the face of open day. No part of the ground on the premises was taken up. There was no digging but on the highway. His Lordship then read the evidence of the officers Kirby and Jacques, who saw the opening made, and who said that they had no idea that it was intended fur a water-pipe to communicate between the two premises. In 1838 Jacques had his attention brought to it, but he die not think about it, or he would have communicated the matter to his superior, Phillips. Long before that, the pipe which the jury saw on the model before them crossed the road, arid furnished water to the building on the other side, that is the granary, or spout rouse No. 2, connected with the distillery. Then it had a branch turn. ing to the left, and supplying water to the stable. That pipe when put down could not be cut off by any stop.cock at that time. But in 1838, at which time, according to the evidence, the whole of the communication was pulled down, and the out-premises re. built, a stop-cock was put to the pipe, at the suggestion of the turecock of the East London Water Company ; and, as was shown by the surveyor of the Company the cock and pipes were furnished by the Company. When this was done any one walking through the street could see it, and would suppose that it was a cock under the control of Mr. Smith. His Lordship then referred to the several entries made from time to time by Mr. George Smith, according to successive Acts of Parliament; and in those entries the branches to the dwelling.house and, stables are mentioned, but the branch to the rectifying-house was not mentioned. He was disposed to agree with the Counsel for the defendant, that if the latter branch had been mentioned in the entry—althcugh even then the law would be broken—there would be an appeal to the Crown, which could scarcely be made in vain. For, if that had been stated, and no step taken by the Excise authorities to prevent its continuance, there would be good ground for an application to stay these pro. ccedings, on the ground that the defendant had given a fair de scription—had complied with the law—and had given every re. glared information to the Excise. Considering, how ever, the state of the law, the obvious meaning and intention of the Legislature in passing the law, in 1817, and a more stringent law in 1825, he could not see a suf ficient reason for supposing, on the part of the defendant, that lay ing down the pipe in 1836 was not a subject for distinct and sepa. rate description; or that the Excise should not have been distinctly told that there was a communication between the buildings. That was not done, nor was any entry made, nor description given of the pipe, although the entry in 1840 bad every other pipe carefully described. It was the only branch omitted. Could it be supposed that the active and acute-minded persons who conducted this business thought it was only necessary to state how the pipe went through the premises without saying where it went to ? But the Court were all of opinion that the defendant was bound to describe the pipe as connected with the rectifying house, which he did not. (This emphatic sentence produced a palpable sensation in the crowded Court.) His Lordship then read in detail the evi. dence relating to the Increase of the " drip," from which it ap peared that in the three years intervening between the two exa minations of the " drip," Mr. George Smith was liable to 3,0001. a-year more duty than he was charged with, as the difference of one-tenth of an inch gave four hundred gallons in a fortnight, or eight thousand gallons in a year. But when the drip was taken again in 1844, it was found that there was an increase of another tenth, which gave an increase of sixteen thousand gal. lons in the year, making Mr. Smith liable to 6,0001. a year more than he paid. The officers considering in their own minds that, notwithstanding this large excess of production, no excess, in all this period, was found in the stock, except the corn. paratively small amount of twenty-eight gallons, which were seized at one time, came to the conclusion that there must be some means of getting the excess to the rectifying The Madrid Gezette, of the 24th ult., contains a royal decree granting an amnesty to all individuals implicated in the revolt of Alicaat and Carthagena in January and February, 1814, and to those engaged in the rebellion at Vigo on the 23d of October, 1843, with the exception of the chiefs and the officers and privates of the army. The Chamber of Deputies on that day took into consi deration the amendment of Senor GONZALES ROMERO to the motion of the Finance Minister for arranging the public debt. After some angry discussion, the amend ment was negatived by a majority of 78 to 37. MADRID BOURSE, APRIL 24.—Three :per Cents., for Account, 35 11-16 ; Five per Cents., for Account, 25g. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on the supple mentary credits being brought forward, a brief discus sion took place on the vote of 44,0001., including inte rest, in payment of indemnities claimed by English merchants, who in 1835 had been subjected to losses in consequer.ce of the blockade of Senegal by the French. One of the Members (M. LASTEYBIE) maintained that the Governor of Senegal was perfectly justified in de claring the blockade, and that the granting of any in demnity was an abdication of their right of sovereignty. England, he added, had frequently declared the coasts of the Gambia in a state of blockade, but no indemnity had ever-been claimed by French shipowners for the losses they had thereby sustained. By the treaty of September 4, 1783, England had ceded to France the river of Senegal with its dependencies, but France had never recognised the sovereignty of England on the Gambia, and as a proof of this he would remark that a French steamer, the Gallibi, on board of which was the Piince DE JOINVILLE as passenger, had, in 1840, passed the bar of the Gambia without saluting the fort, in order not to thereby recognise the sovereignty of England. The pretension of England on the Gambia had been maintained in a dispatch from Lord ABERDEEN to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which the conduct of the French vessel had been designated as improper. On the 24th of March, 1842, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a dispatch addressed to Lord ABZR DEER, admitted that the complaints of England were well founded, and that the commander of the vessel had been blamed. This he considered was a fresh proof of the weakness of the Government with regard to England, and an abandonment of the legitimate pretensions which France bad so long maintained against the sovereignty ( f England in the Gambia. M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, replied that an indemnity of more than 2,000,000 f. had been demanded by the English merchants, but only 41,000 f. awarded. All the rights of French sovereignty over Albreda had been recognised, though England asserted that French vessels were bound to recognise her rights when passing before St. ,ary. Several other Members addressed the Chamber, but the discussion was not closed at the hour of post. It was understood, how ever, that the vote would be agreed to. Among other items in these estimates were the following :-20,000f. for the ordination of Cardinals and Bishops ; 3,906,9961. for the pay, food, and clothing of troops ; and 240,000 f. for electric telegraphs. M. ABAGO took the opportunity of stating that next Sunday the electric communication would be completely established between Paris and Rouen.

This induced them to adopt the system of watching, through the evidence respecting which his Lordship went minutely, dwell ing upon the manner in which the officers had their suspicions of a communication by pipes aroused, namely, by observing the drip ping of water into the still-head. He remarked upon the indirect answers said by the witnesses to have been given by Mr. James Smith, and afterwards by Mr. George Smith, when each wasgfirst asked about it ; then detailing the experiment made by the officers, he put it to the jury whether that was not conclusive that spirits " could" be conveyed by the pipe from one building to the other. As to the statement that the water in the dwelling-house, stables, and officers' room was for several days tainted with spirits, taken for the purpose of showing that the pipes could not be habitually used for passing spirits, the jury would rcollect that it in the experiment of the officers, all smell of spirits were removed in a few minutes from the principal course, by such a flow of water as was then under their command. It was easy to understand that a quantity of spirit would remain under these circum.L.nces in the branches; and that the quantity of water which might Live passed through the whole system of pipes, throughout all its branches, flowing with the velocity of a 30 foot pressure—equal to a whole atmosphere—besides the pressure of the immense body of water in the tank, would in a short time entirely clear away every particle of smell. That, therefore, would not be so great an obstacle to the use of this " way, means, or communication,•' for the conveying of " spirits, worts, or wash." His Lordship then went carefully through the evidence of the officers from the time of their first discoveries and differences with Mr. George Smith to the seizure of the premises in November last. . . The Learned Judge commented at considerable length on the evidence of the different witnesses. He then went on to say that the question for the jury was not whether a single drop of spirits had been transmitted from the distillery to the rectifying-house, but whether there was an opening through which spirits might have been conveyed to the other premises, and un doubtedly it had been admitted on both sides that the officers of Excise had tried the experiment to show that spirits could be passed. That was the point in law, and if they were satisfied that such a communication exited, so that spirits would arrive at the rectifying-house in a condition to be used as spirits, then the Court was decidedly of opinion that they must find a verdict for the Crown. The Learned Solicitor-General had laid some stress upon the fact Gill had not been called, he having been present at most of the conversations between Mr. G. Smith and the officers, and having had the whole management of the distillery. .But it was _ . not fair for him (the Chief Baron) to say that there might be good reasons for not calling a witness in the position of Gill. He might have committed himself at some time, either through inadvertence, or possibly in a state of inebriety have said something upon which he might be cross.examined. Yet it was matter which the jury might consider, why there had been no ore whatever called from the distillery who could speak to the fact that spirits wash, or worts, had not been passed by means of the pipe in question, and that there had been called only two persons from the rectifying-house, Mr. White head, who was- absent from the premises all night, that is, during the only hours in which such use would be made of the pipe, if made at all ; and Mr. J. S Smith, who had sworn that no spirit ever passed, and would probably have sworn that no worts or wash had passed, if the question had been put to him. But, after all, this did not bear upon the issue. It was only important that the jury were satisfied there was sucn a communication between the two premises that worts, &c. could in the words of the Act, "be removed or conveyed " from the one building to the other. According to the facts admitted upon both sides, it appeared that in the presence of Mr. Smith, the officers passed 700 gallons of spirits through the pipe—merely on the principle of the syphon—in less than half an hour, and the jury would consider whether they might be able on another trial, with little preparation or difficulty, pass, in a very , short time, any quantity they pleased (having their choice of force or pressure), and then, taking their time, run sufficient quantities of water, not only through the principal pipe, but through all the branches, so as to remove every, the slightest smell or trace of spirit. If the jury from that evidence believed that the communication was such as that spirits could be removed without such deterioration as to render it useless, they would find for the Crown. If, on the other hand, they disbelieved, or doubted the evidence of facts admitted on both sides, they would find for the defendant. If they found a verdict for the Crown, it was not for the Court or for the jury to say whether any reduction should be made In the amount of the penalties incurred. That would be a question for quite another tribunal. The Foreman then requested his Lordship to inform the jury what were the exact wards of the issue which they were to try. The Loan Casa BARON inquired of the Solicitor.. General whether he would elect to take a verdict on the second count, and re ceiving an answer in the affirmative, the Learned Judge read to to the jury the second count, which charges the occupying and using as a distillery a house or houses within a quarter of a mile of a rectifying.house, there being between the two such a " way, open ing, or communication of removing or conveying spirits, &c., except by cart, carriage, or waggon, through an open street or road." The jury then retired at four o'clock, when Mr. KELLY said, that if the jury found upon any one count the defendant would claim a verdict upon all the rest. The CHIEF BARON—lndeed you will not, Mr. Kelly. The Soli. Citor.General can enter a none prosequi upon all the other counts, or he may now withdraw the record. MR. KELLY—If the Solicitor-General chose to enter a nolle pro sequi, he must do it now, before the verdict is returned, otherwise I shalt be entitled to a verdict on the remaining counts. Mr. MARTIN said the plea was not guilty upon all the counts. The verdict of guilty upon one count was an acquittal upon the rest, and we have a right to have the verdict entered AO.

After several petitions had been presented, The Duke of BUCKINGHAN drew the attention of the House to the case of the Chaplaia of Aylesbury Gaol, who had refused to deliver up to the Magistrateb the written confession confided to him by the murderer TAWELL. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that no clergyman had any right to make disclosures of what had been confided to him in confession, unless in cases of high treason, or where the life of the clergyman himself was in danger. After a few words from the Bishop of EXETER, Lord STANLEY said, that as the publication of the con• fession could not further the ends of public justice, the Chaplain had a right to use his own discretion. Lord BROUGHAM thought that the Chaplain had exer cised a judicious discretion. The Marquis of NORSIANBY hoped the Secretary of State would exercise his power, for the future, to pre vent the publication of such blasphemous and disgusting letters as those which had been published as having been addressed by HocKER tO two unfortunate females. Lord DENMAN considered that the public ought to be perfectly satisfied with the verdict that had been de livered in TAWELL's case. He thought his confession a matter of no moment, and did not see that any one had a right to call for the production of any communication that had been made to the Chaplain. Lord STANLEY promised to inquire into the matter. The Earl of Powis then moved the second reading of the Bill for repealing the law for the union of the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor, and for creating a new bishopric, viz. Manchester. The Duke of WELLINGTON opposed the motion. The dioceses when united would not be so large as many of the existing dioceses, and he could not un derstand why one Right Rev. Prelate could not :dis charge those duties which another Right Rev. Prelate, whose diocese happened to be in a different part of the country, discharged efficiently. A long debate ensued, in the course of which their Lordships were addressed by the Bishop of BANGOR, the Earl of WINCHILSEA,I Lord MONTEAGLE, the Bishop of SALISBURY, Lord STANLEY, and other Noble Lords ; and ultimately, on a division, the Bill was re jected by a majority of 32. The Commons met at at Four o'clock. After the transaction of private business, and the pre • sensation of petitions, Sir R. PEEL stated, in answer to Mr. LABOUCUERE, that no official information bad been received of the in tention of the Brazilian Government to impose an addi tional duty of 20 per cent, on English cotton goods, until the additional duty imposed on the importation of Bra zilian sugar into this country should be removed. The Right Hon. Baronet alo stated that he hoped to move the second reading of the Scotch and Irish Bank Bill, and of the Scotch Poor-law Bill, before the holidays. Mr. MANGLES, in presenting a petition on the subject of the Puseyite schism in the Church of England, asked if it was the intention of the Government to interfere in the matter. Sir R. PEEL was not prepared to give any assurance on the subject. Mr. MACKINNON postponed his motion on the subject of interments in towns, as he understood that the Go vernment was about to introduce some measure on the subject. On the order of the day being read for the House going into Committee on the Maynooth Bill, Mr. HINDLEY moved, as an amendment, that the Speaker do not leave the chair. This amendment, from the manner in which it was worded, produced much laughter. Colonel SIBTHORP, in seconding the amendment, said that the Prime. Minister had taken in and deceived bis supporters, and that for himself he had no confidence in any party, and no hopes for the safety or honour of the country. Mr. PLuzerrnE supported the amendment. The House was subsequently addressed by COl. VER NER, Mr. REDINGTON, Sir R. PEEL, who denied that the Protestants of Ireland were opposed to the measure, Lord J. RUSSELL, Sir R. INGLIs, and Sir H. BROOKE ; and on a division the motion was rejected by a majority of 108, the numbers being, for going into Committee 160, and for Mr. Hindley's amendment 52. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. Several of the clauses were agreed to without a division. On the 4th clause, Sir JOHN HANDIER moved the omission of the words which limit the trustees of nooth College in taking any real property with which it may be desired voluntarily to endow them. . _ After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN proposed an amendment on clause 2, which upon a division was negatived by 69. Sir J. GRAHAM next proposed an alteration in clause 4, relative to the salaries of the officers of the Col lege, which was agreed to. Several other clauses were then passed without altera tion, and finally the report was brought up, and ordered to be received on Monday. The House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock. We cannot help thinking that hard measure has been meted out in the courts of this country towards Mr. CARDS WILSON, the victim of that sort of legalised spitefulness which the antiquated jurisdictions of the " Channel Islands " can exercise at pleasure, on all within their reach, in virtue of some unaccountable oversight in the Imperial Parliament. If the mischief and the outrage could have been foreseen, that, in such a case as Mr. WILSON'S these vexatious pretensions— (derived from the right stock of Norman tyranny)— might visit upon an English gentleman, brought up under the protection of equal and consti tutional laws, and accustomed to the unfet tered exercise of those privileges which are every Englishman's birthright—no doubt the Legislature would long since have withdrawn or neutralised the powers in question. They are offensive anomalies, if they exist within any portion of the Queen of ENG LAND'S dominions, because they are sure to come into collision, at some time or other, with the inherent per sonal and common-law rights, or the statute-created rights, of her MAJESTY'S British subjects. Now, Mr. WILSON, having given offence to a sort of Lilliput Chancery, stood upon his English rights, and wa', Re do think, scandalously maltreated. Little " Viscounts" and overbearing Baillies, and an Attorney- General (for Jersey is blessed with all these), who might have in used more of the decorous bearing of the English bar into his deportment towards the defendant, combined together in one war upon the tall Englishman. They seemed to think he could bear it all—and more ! They fmust have imagined that (in the words of Swirr's " Lilliputian Ode to QUINTUS FLESTRIN")— " Bards of old—oftQn told— When they said-Atlas' head— Propt the skies. Nor was he more fortunate at Westminster before the Court of Queen's Bench. We will not be so disrespect ful as to say that the Lord Chief Justice was testy ; but we remember that the Solicitor-General lost his temper and somewhat of his wonted courtesy, in dealing with Mr. CARUS WILSON. Mr. WILSON is now remitted back to Jersey ; and if he had been SAMSON him ssicneteolufaF,lddlleo:ootg-ftisnthrpgaelevatia:t the Arak's Head, in Gaza, in s the et a r E. greater N re V ecau . ,t Executive a ep t 0 of f3 A e e x t oh n fa E t n r T ha o na rl itis ' g a t juaen H O c t i e ty l con stables and gaolers to seize the mighty lion-slayer, than our profound Civic functionaries ; the ever-agreeable The Soticrroft.GENEnAL—But if you have a general verdict upon your plea, it is" guilty of all." The CHIEF 13/mom—Mr. Solicitor, that used to be the case. But, by a recent decision, it is clear that it cannot be so now. In the old practice there was but one count. Then the practice was to vary the charge by the introduction of several counts, Here, all the counts, after the first say, " And in another distillery," whereas there is but one. . . ....-- Mr. - KELLy—And all after the first must be bail, as there is no other distillery. Mr. Baron RoLvE—I do not think so. The word "other" is only surplusage, as it were to charge another offence. Mr. KELLY -.But there cannot be two verdicts. That has been also decided. The CHIEF BARON —Certainly, Mr. Kelly, there cannot be two verdicts. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL--I think, even now, I am entitled to a verdict upon the first count. The CHIEF BARON—Which charges the occupying and working a distillery within a quarter of a mile of a rectifying.house. Mr. KELLY—Oh, very well, we will take your vcrcict upon that, but that must be upon one count. The CHIEF:BARON— Do you take it so, Mr. Solicitor ?—( A laugh ) The SOLICITOR -GENERA L seemed to decline the proposal, and the discussion for the present dropped. The jury retired, after a deliberation of two hours and a quarter, and returned a SPECIAL VERDICT. The Foreman said—We find a verdict for the Crown on the second count ; and we are desirous of expressing our opinion that there has been no proof of a fraudulent use having been made of the communication. After some consultat on, not heard in Court, The verdict was entered by agreement for 75,0001. Mr. KELLY then applied to enter a verdict of .Not guilty on the remaining five counts, which was agreed to. PAYMENT OF THE JURY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then applied to the Court to know how the Special Jury were to be paid ? The LORD CHIEF 13%11.N said that in the case, he believed, of Mr. F. O'Connor, the jury ..ere allowed for each day, as for a sepa rate trial. Mr. Baron RoLFE said—Yes ; that was the case at Lancaster. The CHIEF BARON said—Then the fees should be paid fur eight days of the trial—that is, eight guineas, besides for the view of the premises.—The Court then rose. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) ERKE.N WELL. David Jennings,awell.dressed young roan, living in Georgiana. street, Camden-town, was charged with assaulting Police constable 144 S. At half.past eleven o'clock last night the prisoner was making a disturbance in Seymoor_strect, Euston-square, when the con. stable interfered. The prisoner told the constable he was a d—d thief, and that he (the prisoner) w, s a gentleman. There upon he seized the constable by the collar, and shook him violently, exclaiming, that the the d—d police made money by robbing gen. tlerrien and unfortunate girls when they found them drunk. The constable was removing h.ra to the station.house when the pri soner again struck him violently. Police-sergeant 7 S swore the prisoner used as bad language at the police-station as he did in the street. Mr. CoMaE fined him 10s., or ten days' imprisonment. Prisoner—This is common robbery. It is the second time 1 have been caught in this manlier. The money was pail. IIiARLBUROUGH-STREET. Henry Fagnell Bale, a young man, of respectable appearance, was charged with stealing two cheques on the London and County Bank, Lombard.street, for the amount, together, of 53/. 3s. It appeared that the prisoner had, for the last twelve months, been a clerk in the employ of Mr. Lumley, the lessee of her Ma jesty's Theatre. On Saturday evening last Mr. Robinson, the treasurer of the theatre, gave into the charge of the hall. porter a note, centainieg the cheques in question, addressed to Mr. Case, the cashier of the establishment, to be for. warded on Monday morning. Early on Monday morning the prisoner made application for the note to the porter. who, knowing the situation he he'd, gave it to The prisoner then proceeded direct to the London and County Bank, and having got the cheques cashed, absconded. Information was given to the police, and yesterday afternoon Sergeant Jonathan Whitaker, of the detective force, succeeded in tracing out and ap. prebending the prisoner, at No. 62, South.street, Chelsea, where he was living with a young female, who passed as his wife. On his person were found 151. 14s. 10d., a gold watch, and other articles, and on the female twenty.two sovereigns. When made acquainted with the nature of the charge on which he was apprehended, he merely remarked that " it was a bad job," adding that the female prisoner knew nothing about it. Whitaker also ascertained that the prisoner had obtained a berth on board the brig Allan, now lying in the river, off Shadwell, but, as et, not chartered, and that he had, out of the produce of the cheques, furnished himself with an ample outfit. Ile had been to sea. Mr. HARDWICK (to the prisoner)— What have you to say in answer to the charge against you? Prisoner—l cannot say under what inducement I took the cheques, but I did take them, certainly. He was committed to Newgate, to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. _ _ . SOUTHWARK. Two men, named Arnold and Mackman, were charged before Mr. Traill, with stealing a great coat from the chaise of Mr. R. Rawlings, of Fenning's Wharf. A policeman stated that, on the preceding night, about nine o'clock, being dressed in plain clothes, he saw a gentleman alight from his chaise, at the coiner of St. Thomas.street in the Borough. Immediately afterwards he observed the two prisoners, whom he knew to be thieves,: walk towards the chaise, and, while one of them watched, the other took the coat out of the chaise, and both ran away. They were pursued by a young man, in the course of which Arnold was seen to put the coat on during Isis flight, but the young man was afraid to take him into custody owing to the number of thieves about at the time. A policeman, however, being made acquainted with the route taken by the prisoners, succeeded in apprehending them, but they contrived to get rid of the coat. Mr. TRAILL said that he ,hould commit the prisoners, but would remand them in order that the coat might be found. LLOYD S SHIPPING. LONDON, ➢SAY 2.—Wind S.W., fresh breeze, and fine.

It relates to the report of the Committee of Management for regulating the affairs at the above island. be Committee was dissolved prior to February 19, owing to the speedy termination of the guano trace of the island, the guano being all removed. Captain Broke writes as follows to Admiral Percy : " I do not hear that any other deposits of tile manure worthy of not , ce to the northward; many vessels have returned here after a fruitless search for such. Record Island in 20 deg. 6 min., being the only one I can hear of, and that so small in dimensions as to render it impossible that there can be more than two or three ships load on it. I purpose leaving this as early as possible to proceed under steam t• southward as far as 9.8 deg. S., to inspect the small islands between that latitude and this (Ichaboe), where I hear a few vessels are loading. There are now seventy vessels here, many of which are on the point of leaving, and the re mainder waiting to complete their period of lay days." FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—On Saturday last four men, working in Mr. Strick's colliery, were seriously injured by an explosion of inflammable air. One of them, William Thomas, was most seriously hurt, and we regret to say he died yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and the inquest on his body will be held this day (Wednesday). We have heard that much blame is attributed to the agent for not sufficiently ventilating the drift in which the men were working, and we trust the Coroner will do his duty by investigating the truth of this report—Swansea Paper.
