I shall not detain you by making any observations, as ob servations enough have been already made in your former case. The sentence of this Court is that you be trans. ported for seven years." The prisoner, whose appearance was - very wretched, was then led away from the duck by the gaoler. Thomas is 45 years of age.

STEALING A WATCH.-Elizabeth M'Kay wag brought before the LORD MAYOR, under the following circum stances:— Mr. Corey, of Limehouse, said that about half past ten on Wednesday night he was walking near the India house,when he was accosted by the prisoner, who turned down Billiter street with him. Shortly afterwards he missed his watch, and charged the prisoner with having taken it. She de d having done so, and was given into custody ; but, on being searched at the station-house it gas not found. He did not observe anything suspicious in the conduct of the prisoner after missing the watch. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the transaction, and said that she was a stranger in London, having come from Dundee in search of her husband. She was remanded. POCICET- PICEIN6 NEAR THE NIONUMENT.—The light- Ligered gentry have been pretty fully employed in the neighbourhood of the Monument since the late deplorable occurrence. Two cases were brought before the LORD N . IATOR yesterday. John Harding, for a tt e mpting to pick the pocket of a gentleman of a handkerchief, was committed for three months. Charles Smith was charged stealing a sovereign and some silver from the person of Mary Fidler, of Reading. An individual named Goner saw the prisoner take his band from the pocket of the prosecutor, and on being given into custody a sovereign was found in his mouth and some silver iu his pockets. He was committed for trial. Ninny FISTING. —BayIey Armitage was charged with fishing in the night of the 6th August. Thomas Webb stated that about three o'clock on the morning of the 6th August he saw the defendant, with two other persons, landing fish near Twickenham. They had a boat and a drag net. Defendant—l am as innocent as a child. The nets don't belong to me. They are my son's. Mr. Hobler—He is the master, then, and you have left cff trade Laughter.) You have committed two of ferthes, because you have no right to fish by night or use a drag. 'fie LORD MAyoa—Tbe last time you were here, only a fdrinight ago, you were convicted and fined 50,. We cannot allow you to set the law at defiance. Defendant—l have formerly caught a great number of fish, but there are now scarcely any to be caught. The LORD MAYOR—How can there be any when nets are used at that time in the morning? But if there be no fish why are you out at night?' Defendant—There are only a few roach and dace. The Loan MAYOR--The net is condemned, and you are fined 51., and I shall take care the law is put in force. You are robbing your brethren, and doing all the harm you can to the fishing. Defendant—There is not a fisherman who does not do the same .as myself, but I am unlucky. The LORD MAYOR—By night ? Defendant—Yes. The LORD MAYOR-What dees the Water-bailiff say. TheNster-bailiff—We look after them as well as we can. The Loan MAYOR—If you have not force and strength enough yeti must have more, and if every fisherman does this I will have every fisherman here and fine him. If the times require any alteration ip the laws regarding fishing, I will hear you ; but wt `S e laws remain as they are, you shall not take advantage of them. So long as I pre vent gentlemen from fishing on Sunday, it is but fair I should prevent you from fishing by night. I will not save the Sunday fish for you to steal at night. Ferdinand Wanaz alias Frederick Frey, who was about a month 'ago brought before the Lord Mayor, by David Forrester ' charged with having d e f rau ded the banking bongo of Messrs. Forcart of 3,000 francs by means of fic titious Bills of Exchange, and with having committed a variety of felonies, was again put to the bar. A gentleman from the house of Liardet, Meyer, and Co., of St. Helen's-place, who caused the apprehension of the prisoner, in consequence of communications from Messrs. Forcart's house, was in attendance, and wished for the further detention of the prisoner in custody, in order that every opportunity might be rendered of accomplishing the ends of justice. The Loan MAYOR said that he had received the follow ing• letter from the authorities of Basle, in Switzerland, on the-subject of the prisoner's detention since the case had been last brought forward : _ _ (Translated from the German.) " The Burgomasters and .Senate of the Canton and City of Basle,, in Switzerland, to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London. "My Lord—We are Informed by our Director of Police that, through the vigilance of the London Police, the latter have succeeded in capturing an individual named Ferdinand Wanaz, of Orllesdorf, in the canton of Thur gau, who has been guilty of felonious actions at this place under the assumed name of Fr. Frey, and defrauded the banking house of J. Morian Forcart, in this city, of about 3,000 Swiss francs, by means of false bills of exchange and et' - ier document " We return your Lordship thanks for the assistance rendered to our Director of Police in furthering the ends of justice, and requesting you to continue the detention of the prisoner, Ferdinand Wanks, in secure custody, we have to apprise you at the same time that the Government of our associate confederated Canton of Thurgau, in whose terri tory he it alleged to have also committed serious offences, has already taken suitable measures, and in particular has applied to the British Ambassador accredited to the Con federation, in order, through the official intervention and mediation of the said Ambassador, to procure the delivering up of this delinquent to Switzerland, and moreover to the au'horities of the Canton of Thurgau. On (air part we have supported the application of the Thurgau Government by a letter which we forwarded this day to the British Ambassador i❑ Switzerland, and with the present we allow ourselves to recommend the said appli cation to your Lordship's said acquiescence. Meanwhile we improve this occasion to present to your Lordship the assurance of our perfect esteem. In the name of the Burgomasters and Senate, The Acting Burgomaster, K. BA RK HOULT. The Secretary of State for the same, KRULL, Registrar. The Lost' MAYOR said that he bad detained the prisoner fir a considerable time, in the expectation that evidence mold ho produced sho Aing that he had committed an offtnce in England. Pe could take no cognizance of the alle ed offence in Smitzf.rland, and wished to know what course those oho had caused the prisoner to be apprehended chose to adopt. Upon the part of the authorities of Switzerland, it was stated that application had been made to the Secretary of Sate to allow the prisoner. for the 'frauds committed upon their Government, to be conveyed in safe custody to Swit zerland, and that Mr. Fox Maule had replied that the the British Government could not deliver up any foreigner accused of any crime but murder to any foreign authority. The LORD MAIOR asked whether there was any further charge against the prisoner. The reply from those who originally appeared against the prisoner was, that there appeared to be no charge as to any offence committed in England, and as to the offences committed on the Continent, the prisoner ad milted his guilt. The agents of the Swiss authorities requested that the papers which had been taken from the prisoner should be handed to them. The papers belonged to the Swiss Go vernment. The LORD MAYOR—I shall give no order at all in this business. As you do not produce any evidence against the prisoner, I shalt say nothing at all about the papers. I have nothing to do with any offence he may have com mitted out of this country, but am prepared to hear evi dence me to any offence against the English laws. Mr. Wontner, the solicitor to the prisoner, said that if the Lord Mayor suggested that his client should give up the papers which belonged to the Government of Switzer land, no objection would be made. The Loan MAYOR—I will not attend to any proposition that aeetas to be like a compromise, but will, if no charge bwi brought. discharge th e p r i s o ner , a nd all his papers along th hi ll y 140 Person then appearing to give evidence against the prisoner, bis Lordship said there is no charge against you, and are discharged. The prisoner then left the bar, and the policeman, with a Swiss police officer, as was reported, at his heels. Mr. Wo toner, Lis solicitor, however, followed closely, for the purpose of advising his client to resist any attempt to ap prehend him for any offence not committed in England. be did no business, and he was anxious to see the law which prevented him, for he was willing to abstain when he saw that any of his neighbours were compelled to do the same, but he apprehended that these were picked shops agaiest which proceedings had been taken, and he considered that he was harshly dealt with. Mr. Tvr, FORD said that as there was no case before him it was use►ess to discuss the subject any farther. Mr. Mason then gave notice that if he found the shop open on next Sunday, he would apply for a fresh summons, and he prepared with evidence to prove the case. Mr. Brandon, tobacconist of the Strand, was also sum moned for exercising his ordinary labour and wordly call ing on the same day. Richard Terry, the beadle, proved that at two o'clock in the afternoon he went. to the defendant's shop, where he bought a quarter of an ounce of tobacco, which was served to him by a young woman behind the counter. The defendant was present at the time. Mr. Roberts, a s elicitor, submitted, that to carry the information into effect it should be proved that the goods were served out by the defendant, who happened to be from hAne at the time mentioned by the witness. The defendant declared that he was out of town at the time, and could on a future day bring forward witnesses to prove it. Mr. Mason observed that the case could not be decided upon mere assertion, and he had met with much vexatious opposition in certain quarters in endeavouring to keep the shops closed. Mr. Twir FORD considered the master of the premises was responsible, as the act was done under his immediate in spection. Mr. Roberts would undertake to prove on a future day, that the defendant was not in town, nor i❑ the shop, but he had a brother very much resembling him. The defendant said he Ives on the road to Stoke New ington at the hour in question. Mr. Roberts contended that the Act specifically applied to the person selling, and, as she was only 15, she could be fined in the penalty of 53 . Mr. Twvrotto could entertain no such objection, but as there was some doubt in the evidence, the case should be dismissed, and he hoped there would be no necessity in future in bringing the defendant before him on a similar complaint. A few other tradesmen were summoned, against whom the same witness gave evidence, but no conviction took place. Mr. TWYFORD hoped that, in addition to the two public notices which had been given, the present proceedings would serve as a caution to prevent a recurrence of any further misunderstanding, for unless the matter was carried out vigorously by the parish authorities, it would be treated lightly, and so far he considered the subject had been brought forward in a very proper manner, as remonstrances appeared to have no effect. The parties then left the Court, promising to suspend all business in future on the Sabbath, in case the obser vance was enforced throughout the entilk parish. Thomas Whitaker, a gamekeeper, viis brought up in the custody ot''Sergeant Kerr, charged on suspicion with having on the 4th inst., stolen from Bawtry Hall, in York shire, the seat of Lord Strafford, two valuable pointer dogs,. It appeared that on information being given of the rob bery a constable who was well acquainted with the prisoner found him in a public-house, and after communicating the circumstance to the sergeant he was taken into custody. The prisoner admitted that, being somewhat " fresh" on the day in question, he committed the robbery, and the dogs were at present on board the Victoria steam-boat, which trades from Hull, as a guarantee for his passage money. Mr. Twyrorin ordered him to be remanded for a week. William Freegrove, who was charged last week with four others at present in custody, with extensive robberies, the proceeds of which were discovered by Key, Ballard, aad Fletcher, in 73, New Compton -street, was again brought up, and after two other cases were distinctly proved against him he was fully committed for trial. Mr. TWYPORD said that be considered that whatever articles remained in the hands of the officers might be de livered up to the persons who laid claim to them, with a proper description of the property, as such a course would be preferable to multiplying the charges, there being clearly sufficient to ensure a conviction ; at the same time he was happy to observe, that as the apprehension of the prisoners was the last act of three persons who had been several years connected with the office with much credit to themselves, and the perfect satisfaction of the Magistrates, but whose occupation was gone by the late Act of Parlia ment, it reflected a still greater credit upon them to have made such a capture without the direction of their supe riors, and to have been the means of restoring such a quan tity of property to the owners. MARLBORO UGH-STREET. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY AT THE JUNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUE-HOUSE.—OD Mr. DYER, the presi ding Magistrate, taking his seat yesterday morning, consider able delay took place in bringing forward the night charges, in consequence of Inspector Mason of the C division (the officer on duty at the station-house during the night), not being in attendance. He, however, shortly afterwards made his appearance, and accounted to Mr. DYER for his absence, by stating that he had been detained in conse quence of information having been given at half-past eight o'clock in the morning, at the station-house of the C division in Vine-street, Piccadilly, of a most desperate and mur derous attack that had been made during the night on the steward of the Junior United Service Club house, in Charles-street, Regent• street, in his bed-room, by some person or persons, who afterwards succeeded in decamping with the cash bags of the establishment. It had not yet been ascertained whether the Club house had been broken into during the night, or that any party had been secreted on the premises. 'I he steward was disco vered in the morning lying on the door of his bed-room wel tering in his blood, and in an aprarently dying state, hav ing been beaten about the bead and face with some heavy weapon in a most brutal and inhuman manner. The wire of the Lel! to his room had been cut to prevent bis giving any alarm. The steward was at present unable to give any connected account of the manner in which he had been attacked. Mr. DYER hoped that the life of the unfortunate man was not in danger. Inspector Mason said he had been informed that he was considered to be in the most imminent danger, so much so that his professional attendant had ordered that no person should be allowed to speak to him. The reporter applied to the Inspector for further parti culars, but he declined giving them, as the real facts of the case had not yet been ascertained. The cash-box was supposed to contain notes, gold, and silver to the amount of between 2001. and 3001. AN IRISH ASSAULT. —A couple of Irishmen were brought into the office, having been found fighting to gether in the public streets. As it frequently happens in Irish assault cases, the defendant appeared to have re ceived a severe thrashing, while the complainant was without a mark. " Sarah Thompson I" said Mr. DIER, looking at the names on the police-sheet, and then at the defendant, " why, your name can't be Sarah ?"—" No, your River ince," said the defendant, " me name's Samuel, bekase I was christened afther me father and mother." Complainant—Your Wurtchip, I gets me living wid me pennorths and haporths of walnuts, which I sell before the Reform Club, bekase there's me best cushtomers, by which manes up comes Thompson, who lodged wid me, and was always a kicking up a drunk and disorderly dis turbance, and I widn't let him lodge wid me, though he paid me five shillings a week, and I only charged him tbreepince a night and gave him Sunday in. Up 11 , 1 comes, and me wid me shallow, and hits me bang on me bead, on which I hoult up me arm and wouldn't let him. " hould your basket, Pat," said a frind, but " No," says I, me living is not by fighting. I'll police him, and take it out in him that way." Mr. DYER —And all this took place without any pro vocation on your side ? Complainant—The only privica tion he had was that he firaht called me and me wife everything but a lady. Mr. DYER—What have you, Samuel Thompson, to say to the complaint? Defendant—Yer Hanner, I attind on Colonel Rowan, the head pollis, whose down at Birming ham at the prisent time, and thin I take care of a horse which belongs to Mr.• Mayne, and sometimes does a jGb of work for a jintlemin that lives away to Chelsea. . . . . . Mr. DYER Well, what has all this to do with the as sault? Defendant—lt's not an assault, yer Hanner ; it's a case of charakter. Ax Colonel Rowan, the head pollis, whose down at Birmingham, and ax Mr. Mayne, the other head poll's, whose horse I'm taking care of, and the jintle min at Chelsea. Mr. DYER—Why did you strike this man ? Defendant —He struck me wid the corner of his shallow, and in coorse I was bound to stand in me own defince. I can call all the bricklayer's labourers in London to prove he shoved me wid his shallow firsht. The police having told Mr. DYER that the defendant, when on his way to the office, had made use of strong threats against the complainant, the Magistrate held the defendant to bail. THE Naw APPOINTMENT TO THIS OFFICE.--Mr. Dyer has been doing the whole of the business at this office for the last fortnight. It is not known when Mr. Long, the newly. appointed Magistrate, takes his seat here for the purpose of business. BOW.sTi — ii ---- Yesterday, a shopkeeper, named J oseph White, carry ing on business in the parish of St. Cleme nt D anes , was Act, summoned under the Lord's D ay by th e Church wardens of the parish, for having kep t open his sh op an d pursued his ordinary calling on Sun day, t e heSth inst.

" TVORSIIIP.STREET. NEW MODE OF SERVING A WARRANT.—Joseph Smith, an ostler, was brought up on a Judge's warrant to give bail for his appearance at the Sessions on a charge of assault. Mr. GROVE asked for the warrant, which the prisoner himself, to the surprise of every one present, produced from his pocket. Mr. (nova said that during the whole course of his ex perience he had never known such an instance. He wished to know who served the warrant. Policeman N 221 said he had served it. He had been three months only in the force, and thought it was correct to leave the warrant in possession of the prisoner. Mr. GROVE —It is a most fortunate thing for the police man that the prisoner is as ignorant as himself Had he not appeared the policeman would have been in a very awk ward situation. The prisoner then entered into the required sureties, and was discharged. A BLACK Cass.—John Hyde was placed at the bar charged with breaking open the box of a person named Cooke, and robbing him of 41. 9s. 7id. It appeared that three parties had entered into partnership on Monday last as blacking -makers and varnish-manufacturers with a capital of 51 ., furnished by the prosecutor, the prisoner finding the knowledge. The prisoner was to go a journey to Croy don, for the benefit of the concern, but previous to his departure he opened the prosecutor's box and took the property, with whieh he went to Brighton, oste nsibl y for the him. p a u u r t r ose of selling blacking. The prosecutor followed save him into custody,— The prisoner was remanded. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l3, 1539. NATIONAL CONVENTION. - The Convention re-assembled yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. ,11r. FROST in the Chair. A letter was read from Mr. M'Cree, of Ayrshire, stating that that county was in a most hopeful state of agitation, and many of the middle classes were joining in the cry for the Charter, and complaining of the squabbles about money matters in the Convention. The CILAIRMAN said the squabbles respecting the money matters were not so much the fault of the individual Mem bers - as of the Convention itself. Had they laid down clear rules for the guidance of the Members they would have been attended to, and the squabbles would have been avoided. In his opinion no blame attached to any one Member. Mr. HARTWELL begged to ask who was to be empowered to receive any contributions to the national rent after the dissolution of the Convention. After some discussion of no importance, Dr. TAYLOR moved that Messrs. Frost, Pitkeithley, and Rogers be empowered to receive all such contributions, and to be held by them for the purposes of any future Con vention, which was carried unanimously. Mr. PITKEITHLEY said he had been appointed treasurer of the defence fund by the Committee of the Convention. He gave in a balance sheet, showing that, including the 2001. lent that fund by the Convention upon Mr. O'Con• nor's security, he had received 2291. 15s. ; he had paid 14s. Bd. beyond that sum. But now, as the Convention was to be dis.olved, be thought it would be better to appoint a Committee in London, and let them appoint their own treasurer. He thought it would be better so than that be should remain in that office while he was in the country. Mr. CARPENTER contended that the Convention bad nothing to do with these accounts. They belonged to the Defence Fund alone. The Convention had not given any money to the Defence Fund ; they had lent the sum of 200/ , but it was lent upon the security of Mr. 0 Con nor, and they had no right to inquire into its expenditure. Mr. PITKEITHLET said the Committee was appointed by the Convention, and all he wanted was that they would re ceive his accounts, and pass them, as they had been found correct by the Finance Committee—he only wanted to be relieved. Mr. CARPINTER, in order to put an end to a long dis cussion, moved " That the Defence Fund Committee be recommended to take steps for the formation of a permanent Committee, to manage the Defence Funds in London, and that the accounts of the present Committee be handed over to such General Committee, with a request that they pass them as soon as possible, and publish them." Mr. WOLSTINHOLUE seconded the motion. Carried unanimously. Mr. CARPENTER moved that Mr. O'Connor, who was Collector of the General Defence Fund, be recommended to advance 20/. to Mr. Warden for the defence of him self and other persons under prosecution at Bolton, as a loan, to be repaid by the people of Bolton. Mr. NEESOM seconded the motion. Mr. PITKEITHLEY said the sum of 201. was a very large one. In other places even the trials had not cost so much, and it could not all be required for putting in bail, &c. The people of Bolton would be as astonished as the country generally if they got the large sum of 201. Mr. NEESOM knew something of prosecutions, and thought that 201. was the smallest sum that would be of any use. Mr. BUSSYY contended that the Convention had no thing to do with the matter. It was the business of the Defence Fund Committee. Dr. TAYLOR said such grants would prejudice his con stituents of the north. They were not aware of other counties forming local defence funds, and they sent their money to the general fund. He would move the previous question. Mr. Bussat seconded the amendment. Mr. CARNINTRR would only say that he was sorry the people of Bolton were to have different justice meted out to them from other parts of the country and other individuals. The Convention had voted various sums to different par ties. He had always opposed such votes, but the Con vention voted the money. It could only be considered by the Defence Fund Committee as a recommendation, but the Convention had before voted the money. All he wanted was to have the recommendation of the Conven tion to the gentleman who stated himself to be the trea surer of the General Defence Fund. If the motion was not agreed to, he thought the people of Bolton would have a right to complain. Dr. TAYLOR said if they were determined to come to a vote upon the question, he would withdraw the previous question. The vote was then taken and the motion carried. Mr. TAILOR then moved that the same recommendation be made to Mr. O'Connor, in the case of Mr. Deegan, for the advance of 101. Mr. BURNS seconded the motion. Agreed to. On the motion of Mr. BURN!, seconded by Mr. PIT. KEITHLEY, a Committee of three were appointed to consi der and report upon an address that had been drawn up by Mr. O'Brien. An Address to the Queen, signed by 1,700 inhabitants of Forfar, praying for the liberation of Collins and Lovett, was directed to be sent to Mr. Leader, M. P., in order that it might be forwarded by him to her Majesty. The Convention then adjourned till six o'clock in the evening. The Convention resumed its sitting at Six o'Clock. Mr. BUSSET took the Chair, Mr. Frost having obtained leave of absence. Dr. TAYLOR brought up,a Report from the Committee appointed to inquire into the accounts, stating that they had looked offer the accounts of Mr. Pitkeithley from the Ist of July to the 28th of August, which they found to be correct, and the Report was ordered to be confirmed. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. The Convention then resolved itself into a Committee, to take into consideration and agree upon an address to the people of England on the dissolution of the Con vention. The Committee appointed to consider the address, drawn up by Mr. O'Brien, and w!'ich Com mittee was ordered to report yesterday evening, not having made any report, After a squabbling discussion of two hours and a half's duration, another Committee of three was appointed to draw up an address, and were requested to report to morrow (this day.) Adjourned at Nine o'clock till Eleven this day. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LLOYD'S.

The Toulonnais states that the total number of vessels, of all nations, which entered the ports of the French possessions in the North of Africa during 1838 was 3,502, and the tonnage 194,166 tons. Of this num ber 914 were under the French flag ; 1.324 were coasters belonging to the ports themselves ; 379 Spanish ; 286 Neapo!itan ; 201 Tuscan ; 53 English ; and 2 American. A tragical event occurred, on the 22d ultimo, during the voyage of the Jenne Matilde, from Havre to Guadaloupe. On the day following her departure, a man named Pinaud, after having thrown a plank over board, jumped into the sea, The Captain immediately sent a boat with two men to pick him up, but he had no sooner entered the boat than he drew his knife, and falling upon one of those who had gone to his rescue stabbed him in the arm. The man, to save himself, jumped overboard, when Pinaud attacked the other, and stabbed him three times. The Captain of the vessel was only able with difficulty to save the wounded man, and secure Pinaud, who was immediately taken on board the vessel, and put in irons. As there had been no quarrel or any other cause for the act, it is supposed that he was acting under the impulse of insanity. THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.— Wi t h th e exception of Tipperary and - Mayo, the accounts from ever part of the country are deplorable, as regard the condition of the standing, or, rather, the prostrate corn. For the last twenty-four hours, the barometer has steadily marked " changeable," though Sunday blew a gale, and the rain in the vicinity of Dublin has been descending without in termission. The Liffey is swollen, and the Dodder is rising rapidly, circumstances that show the rain is not, as we might have hoped, local. Nevertheless, we have not been without gleams of sunshine, and the thermometer indicates sixty-four. But in the present predicament of the wheat crop, this heat is as disastrous as wet—operating together, they are ruinous. We really do not feel justified in using a milder epithet. As far as it has gone, the weather is exactly like that of 1816-17, and our memory serves very accurately on the point. The crops in Ireland are decidedly worse off than they were this time twelve month. This is rather a gloomy picture. We should say, however—though irreparable injury has been done to the wheat—that tolerable harvest weather from this out would secure to Ireland not an abundant, perhaps not an average crop, but a pretty tolerable one of other grain—and, above all, the potatoes, of which an abundant yield would be secured. Much more rain will damage even these irre srievably.—Dublin Post._ A meeting was held at Littlehampton, on the s d i ni t., to consider the best mode of preventing the en croachments of the sea, and of raising the means for car rying the same into effect.

SUICIDE OF THE YOUNG LADY WrIO THREW HERSELF FROM THE TOP OF THE MONUMENT. (FURTHER PARTICULARS). The deceased was the second daughter of Mr. Noyes, a baker, living at 3, Hemming's-row, St. Martin's lane, who is a widower, with a family of five or six daughters. The ill-fated heroine of this shock ing tragedy was the eldest but one, and was re markable as being the most quiet girl of the family, and rather reserved in her manners. It appears that she and her eldest sister slept together, and when they got up on Wednesday morning, the latter remarked, " Why ! Mary, how red your eyes are !" to which she replied, " Yes, I have had no sleep all night." She did not, however, assign any reason for not having slept ; and nothing more passed between the sisters on the- subject. The deceased afterwards prepared breakfast for a gentleman who lodged in the house, and then went out, without saying or being asked where she was going. This, however, did not ex cite any surpiise with her sisters, as she was not in the habit of communicating her secrets to them, and, in deed, would very rarely allow them to question her as to her movements. In about an hour and a half after her quitting home, her eldest sister heard that a lady had committed self-destruction by precipitating herself from the Monument, but the idea of its being her own sister never for a moment occurred to her. After conver sing with several people on the subject, and learning the particulars of the sad occurrence, she went up to her father, who is at present confined to a sick bed, and told him of the circumstance, upon which he clasped his hands together, and exclaimed with considerable excitement, " Oh, my poor child !" from which it appears that a suspicion of the truth immediately flashed upon his mind. The daughter then accidentally took up a book which lay on the mantle. piece, and opening it, saw written upon the blank leaf the following words in the hand-writing of the de ceased :—" You need not expect me to return home, for I have gone out with the determination to destroy myself." When she got to the Monument, she told the man who takes the money that she expected some friends to join her, and sat down, talking with him for nearly twenty minutes on the cloudy state of the weather, in reference to the view from the top of the pillar, and other subjects. At the end of that time she went up alone, and in a few minutes afterwards she was a frightfully mangled corse. After the discovery of the writing in the hook by Miss Moyes, she requested a gentleman to go down to the Monument and see the body for the satisfaction of the family, still, however, thinking it next to impossible that it could be her sister who had committed the dreadful act. He immediately complied with the re quest, and after much difficulty at length gained ad mission to the bone house under one of the ground arches of London Bridge, and instantly identified the body as that of Mr. Moyes' daughter. The state of mind in which the unfortunate Mr. Moyes as well as the sisters of the wretched girl were thrown by the dreadful communication which this friend had to make on his return, it is impossible to describe. No sooner did the fact become known in the neighbourhood of St. Martin's•lane that it was the daughter of Mr. Moyes who had committed this extraordinary, and in the case of an English female unprecedented, mode of suicide, than crowds assembled round the house anxious to gain some intelligence as to the motives which led to the catastrophe ; and it was with some difficulty that the police could keep the people from o b s t ruc ting the thoroughfare. No intelligence, however, could they get, and at pre sent all remains enveloped in mystery ; although from the promptitude of the father's exclamation, it would appear that he was not wholly ignorant of something being wrong. It is generally supposed'that some disappointment in love led to the frightful act. There was nothing at home to render her unhappy, and on Tuesday evening she appeared very cheerful, and was singing, a lth oug h this cheerfulness was of course only assumed. Nothing that has happened in London for many years past has caused so strong a feeling of painful interest, or been so general a topic of conversation ; and the rapidity with which the news of the occurrence spread over all parts of the metropolis was perfectly surprising, and the neighbourhood of Fish-street-hill was like a fair all the evening, with the persons who came from all parts of the town to look at the spot upon which she had fallen. Besides the garden pots which were broken by the fall of the deceased, a bird cage, which was hanging out side the door, had its front part torn cleanly off, and the bird which it contained flew away. The arm of the deceased was amputated about mid way between the elbow and shoulder by falling across an iron bar of about an inch and a half in diameter, which runs from the iron railway to the doorway, placed there to keep persons from going round the base of the building. INQUEST ON THE BODY. Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, a Jury, con sisting of merchants and tradesmen of opulence, was impanelled before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, at the Swan Tavern, Fish-street-hill, London-bridge, to pur sue an inquiry into the circumstances that led to the death of Miss Margaret Moyes, aged 22, daughter of Mr. James Moyes (formerly one of the Churchwardens of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, of which he has been an inhabitant, most highly respected, for many years), who committed self-destruction by leaping from the top of the Monument on Wednesday morning. In consequence of the intense sensation which the frightful calamity has occasioned, the inquest-room was densely crowded throughout the inquiry. The Jury (there being 21 jurors) having been sworn, proceeded with the Coroner to view the mangled remains of the unfortunate young woman, which lay in a shell at the bone-house of the parish of St. Magnus, under the first arch of London bridge, in Lower Thames-street. The evidence which was first given, was that of Thos. Jenkins, who gave a statement similar in effect to the narrative of the transaction which appeared in the papers of yesterday. Thomas Crawley, Monument-yard, stated that he saw the deceased when she was about two feet from the top. She turned over twice. By a Juror—l saw no one else in the gallery. Her shawl was attached to the chimney. Mr. Charles Croft, surgeon, Fish-street-hill, stated that he had examined the body of the deceased and found that she had received a compound fracture of the skull. The spine was fractured, as was also the left thigh, and the left arm was snapped in two just below the shoulder. By the CORONER—The immediate cause of death was the fracture of the spine, though I am of opinion that she was dead before she reached the ground, as there was so little blood. There was no external ap pearance that she was enciente. I have not made a post mortem examination internally. The CORONER having inquired if there were any friend or relative of the deceased present ? Mr. James Bowell, Panton-street, said that he has known the family with which the deceased was con nected 22 years. Mr. Moyes, the father, has been con fined to his bed many months. There were six chil dren (all daughters), the deceased being the second eldest. The mother has been dead two years. In con sequence of the protracted illness of the father, it was found necessary that some arrangement should be made for the daughters to go out in the view of obtaining their living. It was agreed that the deceased should seek some situation. Since that time her conduct has been very different, and she often appeared to witness not to be in the possession of her reasoning faculties. CORONER—HOW long is it since you observed an alteration ? Witness—Probably about six weeks ago. I saw her a few days ago, she then seemed quite out of spirits. CORONER—Do you know anything of a paper found at her father's house ? Witness—Yes. It was found on the mantel-shelf. (The witness here produced the paper, which was in the following words, " You need not expect to see me back again, for I have made up my mind to make away with"—there she had finished her sentence and subscribed her name " Margaret Moyes" on the reverse side of the paper. She left her home about eight o'clock in the morn ing. She stated that she was going to her brother's to breakfast. By the JURY.--She lived on good terms with all the family. They were always most happy together. She was always of a quiet and inoffensive disposition. The previous evening she spent the evening with a sister. Witness is informed by her that she was then very me lancholy. On parting from each other deceased kissed her sister three times, and more affectionately than the eveni ng , an d the Juror—Wh en t h ey f oun d t h at s h e did not return was there not some alarm ? Witness —Sh e state d t h a t s h e wou ld not return till middle of t h e d ay. I never hear d t h at i nsan ity h a s prevailed i n t h e family. paper was not found till the By the CORONER—I know of no other cause for the distressing act, than that which has been alluded to. The CORONER here observed that he had no doubt but that it would be most painful to the feelings of the sister to be called before them to give evi dente. Per haps the jury would be satisfied with the evidence they had heard. The Jury, however, expressed a wish to obtain further information as to the state of the deceased's mind, and requested to have the sister examined. Miss Christiana lqoyes was then called in. She ap peared in deep affliction, and was accommodated with a chair. Her testimony went to prove that for some time past the deceased had been in great distress of mind on account of her father's illness, and the diffi culties they were placed in. She saw deceased the pre vious morning, when she left. She then stated that sh• would be out all day. She was not in correspon dence with any suitor. The Jury then said that they ought to have had Captain Bevan and the sister who was married, with whom the deceased was the preceding evening. The Foreman after this consulted with his brother jurors, upon which he communicated their wish for the postponement of the inquiry to have further evidence, namely, that of Captain Bevan and the sister, who was married. The inquest was accordingly adjourned till three o'clock this day. CORONER'S INQUEST. EXTRAORDINARY TREATMENT OF A NEW-BORN INFANT.—On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Three Jolly Bakers, Little Chesterfield street, Marylebone, before Mr. WAKLEY, touching the death of a new-born infant, which took place under such circumstances as to cause an extraordinary degree of excitement throughout the neighbourhood. George Hurst, a cab-driver, between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night, had occasion to go to the shop of Mrs. Darby, No. 3, in the same street, to buy some nuts for his squirrel, when his attention was at tracted by a faint " squeak," and on turning round he saw an apparently new-born infant lying on a table near the window, amongst apples, greens, and other articles which the woman dealt in. After he had stood there some minutes, Mrs. Darby came staggering in from an adjacent public-house. She was very drunk, and upon witness remonstrating with her upon the impropriety of treating so tender an infant in such a way, she replied, hiccuping, " Poh, nonsense ; it's no consequence—the doctor says it will not live longer than one o'clock." In answer to questions which he put to her about the in fant, she said that it was some lord's illegitimate child, and had been brought to her to nurse by three doctors. Police-constable Anderson, 35, D, in consequence of the information he received from the last witness, pro ceeded to Mrs. Darby's shop, and found the child lying as described, There was no fire in the place, and the woman was drunk and abusive. With some difficulty he learned from her that the mother of the infant lived as cook in the family of Mr. Robert Jones, 26, Fit zroy square. The child, which was only born the same after noon, she had fetched away herself to nurse, that the cir cumstance might be concealed from the family, who were out of town, but expeeted home every day. Early on Tuesday morning he heard that it was dead. • Mr. Clarke had been regularly engaged by the mother of the infant, whose name was Mary Hall. The birth, which was premature, was an extremely difficult one, lasting from seven o'clock on Saturday morning till three in the afternoon. The mother, being much agi tated and alarmed for fear the family should return and discover what had happened, prevailed upon him to procure a nurse to take care of the child, and he procured for her the woman Darby, alluded to, whom he believed to be a sober, steady, and trustworthy woman. The Jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death," accompanied by the following written expression of their opinion :—" We (the Jury) regret that the medical gen tleman should have allowed the removal of the deceased infant in its weak state from the natural protection of its mother, and we think that its death was accelerated by the culpable conduct of Mrs. Darby, whose conduct is deserving of the highest censure, and we request she may be accordingly reprimanded by the Coroner." Ann Williams, the late servant of Dr. Porter, who is charged with robbing that gentleman of a large amount of property, attempted to commit suicide in Bride well, after her removal from the police-office on Friday. She had been carefully searched, and deprived, as it was supposed, of everything that could assist her in destroying herself. She was left to herself, and in a short time one of the inmates of Bridewell having occasion to go into the room in which she was confined, pushed against her, sup posing she was standing. It was then discovered that she had suspended herself by the lining which she had taken out of her gown and twisted into a rope. Mr. Williams was promptly on the spot and cut her down. Medical assistance having been procured, she very shortly recovered, and then made a vain effort to strangle herself with her cap-strings. She had eaten nothing since the previous evening, and expressed her determination to take no more sustenance.—Bristol Standard [lt will be recollected that the prisoner was apprehended in London, and taken before Sir Peter Laurie, who sent her down to Bristol for trial.] The Administration of the Hospitals (and hos pices) of Paris has published a report to the Council- General of the working of those establishments, by which it appears that it admits, and consequently supports, in the almshouses, 12,000 old and infirm persons of both sexes, and receives annually into the hospitals 16,000 sick. It moreover provides yearly for 4,600 foundlings, supports 16,000 in the country, places 400 as apprentices, and re lieves 30,000 indigent families. The expenditure of this administration has been fixed by the Council-General, for 1840, at 12,077,781 f. (nearly 500,0001 ) The private propt.rty and resources of the hospitals, &c.. producing only 6 275.011 f , the city will have to furnish out of the proceeds of the octroi (customs)an allowance of 5,802,769 f., or one-fifth of the whole amount of those proceeds, which average about 29,000,000 f. annually. DOVER, SEPT. 2.—Yesterday, at half -past four in the afternoon, the spectators on the pier heads observed a huge black substance .floating past the harbour, and a boat put off the bay and succeeded in towing it on shore. It turned out to be a fir tree, which it is supposed was torn up by a hurricane of wind by the root, fell into the sea, and has crossed the Atlantic. The log is about forty feet long, and every part of it is covered with millions of barnacles, some of them were of an immense size. The boatmen are exhibiting it at a certai❑ price per head.—Kentich Gaz. THE VlSTULA.—Extract of a letter from War saw, of the 30th ult. Colonel Barnett, the English Consul, has returned here from Cracow. The Vistula, in consequence of the late excessive rains, has overflowed its banks and done great damage, parti , ularly at Warsaw and Cracow. Fears are entertained of a renewal of the disas ters of 1813, the waters having already risen at Warsaw to 21A feet, being even higher than in 1813. The damage already done is incalculable. Many of the inhabitants along the banks of the river have been obliged to abandon their dwellings with all their contents. The Lubienski Palace has been assigned to them as a refuge, and the citizens of Warsaw, though themselves suffering, render them every assistance in their power." VILLANY AND DEATH.—Sometime since a person of the name of Chisholm, a sawyer by profession, aged upwards of fifty, and who is tolerably well acquainted with our police-office and bridewell, having been thrice convicted and punished for theft, took up his residence in Linlithgow, in the house of a respectable female, named Mary Hamilton. To her he represented himself as an unmarried man (although he has a wife and family in Edin burgh), and managed so to ingratiate himself into Mary's favour that she agreed to marry him. He came to Edinburgh where he said he had a house, and after the lapse of a few days returned, and informed the unsuspecting Mary that she was now a bride,—got her to entrust him with most of her property, even to her body clothes, to take to his house in Edinburgh, and ho was to be back next day to bring her to his home also. Not appearing at the time appointed she came to Edinburgh, and there ascertained how she had been duped—that her pretended lover was a married man, who had sold or pledged the whole of her property, including a watch, which he had taken without her knowledge. She gave information at the po lice-office ; Chisholm was apprehended, and a large por tion of her property recovered. On Friday, when in the police office, Mary appeared dejected and low-spit ited, and on Saturday morning she was found dead in her lodgings, and close by her lay a phial, which had contained laudanum, probably to the extent of two ounces.—Edinburgh Ob server. STUDY IN THE FRENCH ARMY.—The follow ing facts (says the Nouvelliste) show that the taste for study is becoming very general in the army. In 1836, 327 cfficers and 96 non-commisioned officers, of 38 regiments of infantry and cavalry, executed topographical works ; in 1837, 812 officers and 475 non• commissioned officers, of 75 regiments, took part in such occupations; and in 1838, the number so engaged was 1,101 officers and 659 non commissioned officets, belonging to 94 regiments. A curious scene occurred a few evenings since in the pit of the Theatre Francais. Two friends were con versing upon the science of physiognomy, and one of them, a great enthusiast, pretended to be able to read in the facial angle the profession of every person present. " For instance," said he. "look at the person who is asleep with his arm on the back of the orchestra 1"—" Well, what of him?"—" He is a concierge."—" I bet you a breakfast to the contrary."—" Done 1" and thereupon the former ap proached the sleeper, and exclaimed close to his ear, in a stentorian voce—" Le cordon, s'il vous plait!" The sleeper jumped up immedately, and putting forth his hand, as if in sea,ch of the rope, laid hold of the pigtail of a gen tleman in the pit, which he pulled lustily. "Do not be alarmed," said the wag who had won the wager to the gentleman, whose wig had fallen off under the tug of the concierge, "it was only a physiognomical experiment, which, thanks to you, has thoroughly succeeded.— Galig nani's Messenger. EXTRACTION OF A NEEDLE FROM A MAN'S ABM.—On Monday last as a person named Briant, a re spectable lighterman, residing in Warren-square, Wap. ping, was in the act of washi ng hi mse lf, h e su dd en l y f e l t an acute twitch of pain in th e fl es h y part o f hi s l e f t arm. He took no notice of it at the ti me , t hi n ki ng i t was mere l y a touchof rheumatism. He suffered very severely during the night, and upon rising in the morning found that his arm was very much sw e ll e d. H e i mme di ate l y reso l ve d upon having medical advice, and accordingly applied to Mr. F . oulger, a surgeon, i n R atc liff - hi g h way , w h o , a f ter examining the swelling, made a small incision, and was suprised to find the point of a large stocking needle pro truding, and immediately drew it out. It was very much corroded and quite black. The only way Mr. Briant can account for this extraordinary occurrence is, that about four months ago he fell down upon a quantity of old iron, when the needle in all probability entered his hand, and must have worked itself up the arm. He states that he did not experience any pain until the day previous to tho extraction of the needle, when he suffered very severely. POISONOUS MUSHROOMS.—ScarceIy a day passes lily at this season of the year but we hear of some ill, and, in some instances, fatal effects experienced from an indiscriminate use of the above fungi. Children are for the most part engaged in gathering mushrooms ; and al though the " tubeo castum," or virgin mushroom, may be readily distinguished from all other varieties by the delicate pink hue which pervades the interior membraneous surface, yet do children gather indiscriminately other kinds of a larger and coarser quality, and which answer exceedingly well for making ketchup. The latter kinds, if eaten, prove very indigestible ; they are apt to swell in the stomach, creating nausea, violent vomiting, and most painful spasms. The fungi family are not poisonous in their natur their ill effects are to be ascribed wholly to theirindigestible properties. Large doses of castor oil, united with a few drops of spirits of camphor, have in many instances proved a 'safe and efficacious antidote to the dangerous conse quences attendant on eating these hybrid fungi. METROPOLITAN POLI TIC &I, SUMMARY. The Courier of last evening makes the following re marks on the assertions of the Tories respecting the late Cambridge election :—" The Tories harp daily on that one plesant string—their success in carrying the Cam bridge election. But from the one string they elicit twe notes ; the first expressing their happy conviction that the election was won in virtue of the - re-action that has taken place in Cambridge ; and the other, expressive of their joy that the Reform can didate was defeated by the sheer force of the dis gust and abhorrence in which his (alleged) apos tacy was held by the Cambridge constituency. Now, one of these assertions must be false. If there be re-action in Cambridge, that re-action placed Mr. Sutton at the head of the poll, and the defeat of Reform is in no wise attributable to any imputed detestation of Mr. Gibson's change of opinions. If, on the other hand, the honest and honourable conduct of that gentleman had been so misrepresented and misunder stood, as to stand as the fairly assignable cause of his rejection by the Cambridge constituency, it follows that the grounds of defeat were those of personal prejudice and antipathy, and that although Mr. Gibson failed, some other Reformer would have triumphantly occupied Mr. Sutton's place upon the poll. Let the Tories make choice of one of these two assertions, and adhere to it with what pertinacity they may ; but they cannot persist in repeating both, without multiplying contra dictions of their own deliberate statements." The Globe comments in the following terms on Lord Lorton's late " wholesale ejectment" proceedings at Ballinamuck :—" We were not aware, until we read the invaluable Report of the Committee on Irish Crime, that it is considered by the Tories to be one of the duties of a good government—and, therefore, need we say, a duty not attended to by the present Govern ment ?—to help the landlords to transport their outcast tenantry. This we gather from Lord Lorton's descrip tion of the act of wholesale justice which he performed some months since at B dlinamuck ; we must not call it a wholesale ejectment,' for Lord- Glengail solemnly denies under his noble hand that there has been any such thing in any part of Ireland. Be that as it may, however, his Lordship of Lorton demo lished forty mud cabins, and turned the inmates adrift, on one day ; and he complains that the Government would not lend a hand to transport the unfortunate wretches, and get them altogether out of the country.' Transport them !—The phrase is his Lordship's own, and we think it a very appropriate one. Forced emigration, under any circumstances, is ba nishment ; but to root out a population from the place of their birth, with the proclaimed intention of bringing in and establishing in greater comfort another race in their stead, and to expatriate them without any care or provision about their settlement in a foreign land, or the least concern on their account, but with a very natural desire on his own, to have them removed far away, and for ever, out of sight, is in our opinion much worse than transportation to a penal co lony. This, we think, Lord Lorton admits that he was anxious to do." The Standard, alluding to Mr. O'Connell's recent mention of the spread of Popery in England, says— = The Queen is surrounded by Papists, the Govern ment of the country is maintained in its position wholly by the force of Popish and alien' (if they will so have it) votes. The education of the rising generation of the three kingdoms is henceforward to be subjected to Popish superversion. What marvel, therefore, thatPopery should be rapidly on the increase in these realms ; or what possible argument can be drawn from that fact in its favour ? The theology of Joanna Southcote could hardly have failed to have advanced in a similar ratio, had it been the object of the countenance which has lately been bestowed upon Popery and its professors by the Government and the Court ; and now that Popery has become a passport to the highest honours of the State, there will no doubt be many new converts to its doctrines. The Protestants of Great Britain have endured much, and 'may possibly be called upon to endure as much again: But there is a limit at which the pro-Popery Government of Lord Melbourne must stop, if they would not 'jeopardy interests of far greater importance than their own truckling tenure of office." • The Times of this morning Observes, with reference to Mr. O'Counell's last letter on the subject of the spread of Popery in England :-" We gave Mr. O'Con nell's last appearance as a letter writer on Tueiday ; but we'thought- it less-woathy 4f-eotice than any of his antecedent exhibitions of the same sort. It had refe rence to religion, and its object was to convert us all to Popery. No one could suppose him serious. The de votion he professed for Popery, and the description he gave of Protestantism, were alike palpably false, and evidently intended' only to swell his annual rent.' He thought it the best mode of stirring up the priests to belabour the peasantry still more unmercifully out of their pence. How could-any one have supposed even this vain old mendicant to be in earnest, when, he pre tended to think that „he could, induce the whole. Pro testant world to take shelter under the red 'petticoats of the Romish representative of the old lady of Babylon of foul repute ? How could it enter into any man's conception that even the dullest atheist, or the most obtuse heathen, would accept a description of the Pro testant religion from O'Connell, who has been so fre quently convicted and branded as a liar, as well in, as out of, the House of Commons, that his closest friends never believe a word he utters ?" The Horning Herald thus comments on the Mar quis of Londonderry's answer to the letter of remon strance of the Clergy of Ripon, on the subject of his duel with Mr. H. Grattan :—" The answer which the Marquis of Londonderry has addressed to the Clergy of Ripon, who, our readers will recollect, remonstrated with him on the subject of his late duel with the alleged voucher of O'Connell's " poison plot," Mr. Henry Grat tan, is one that must give pain to every true Conserva tive—inasmuch as it deliberately attempts to justify a gross violation of the Christian religion, and the law of the land, which Conservatives are bound to hold in , re spect and veneration. Independently of the morals,' or alleged morals of the camp,' which Lord London derry sets up as a defence of a violation of the law of God and the laws of his country, there is a tone of not very courteous rebuke to the Clergy of Ripon for inter fering with the practice of his pistol code of honour—Li code, be it observed, against which the Almighty has set his everlasting canon—a code which is also stamped with the brand of felon infamy by the Legislature, of which Lord Londonderry is an hereditary member." The Morning Chronicle contains a leading article on the subject of Lord Londonderry's reply to the Clergy of Ripon, on the subject of' his duel o ith Mr. Grattan, in the course of which our Contemporary s iys :--" The great scandal given by the Marquis of Londonderry is not the fighting a duel, but the justifying his conduct. It might be prudent or imprudent in the clergy of Ripon to call the Noble Marquis to account as a sinner ; and, indeed, it may be doubted whether any clergyman is strictly justified in making the conduct of individuals the subject of public animadversion. There is a well-known case tried before the Supreme Court of' Scotland, where a clergyman, in what he conceived the exercise of his duty, inveigned in the pulpit against two of his parish ioners by name. The Court conceived that this was exceeding the just limits of his duty, and he was sub jected to a heavy fine. It was the duty of his chaplain or the clergyman under whose ministration the Noble Marquis might be for the time, on learning that he had fought a duel, to admonish him, and on discovering signs of impenitence and hardness of heart, to endeavour to bring hint to a right wry of thinking ; and we are bound to presume that this duty has not been discharged, from the very confused notions which the Noble Mar quis evidently has of the grounds on which alone a sinner can hope for mercy." The Morning Post alludes in the following pert, chambermaid-style, to the important question of the Corn-laws :--" It is already announced by the Metro politan Radical press that s the battle between the Corn-law monopolists and the rest of the nation is about to recommence.' Be it so. We own that we do not see that any good is to be derived from this battling, and it may give rise to much discontent and ; but, if the enemies of British agriculture will 4 agitate' this question, we are ready to do our part in meeting them, and we doubt not that we shall also have our share in beating them, as we have had before. By the way, would it not be important for the Ministerial Corn-law agitators to see what the opinion of the Ladies of the Bedchamber may be upon this great question ? Doubtless their authority, which is now set up as some thing more than equivalent to that of Parliament, might have great weight in determining whether the Corn-law should stand or fall. The Ministerialists who advo cate Corn-law repeal cannot but know very well that large majorities of both Houses of Parliament are de cidedly adverse to the repeal. But this, perhaps, only quickens the zeal of these Ministrial agitators." The Morning Advertiser, speaking of the recent suc cess of' the Christino cause in Spain, observes as fol lows :—" When our enemies are dissatisfied,' says Voltaire,' we may be assured that we have some good ground for satisfaction. When the main organ of Toryism yesterday morning raised a yell of disappointed fury ogainst the resul!ofthtahte ReformSpanishanciointtheset,piotpmulaayr be, prima facie, inferred cause have gained some advantage disagreeable and painful to the Tory and Absolutist party.

The last public betting took place in the afternoon, and, as on Monday, was tolerably brisk towards the close. Charles the Twelfth's friends were quite as sanguine as ever, and, by taking 7to 4 as long as it could be got, widened the space be tween him and Bloomsbury; not that the latter lacked support, for 3 to 1 was taken, and offers made repeatedly to go on at the same odds to a large amount ; one bet of 500 to 200 was taken, but no attempt was made by the backer to increase his stake at that figure. Euclid was backed at precisely the same average as on Monday, nor was any change observable in The Provost or Bolus.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• TIMES—Among the complaints of stagnant busi ness are at length included those of the discount brokers themselves, who find themselves comparatively in a worse state now than when the rate of interest was low and bills abundant. A single bill, it is true, will yield them a much higher profit ; but, then, there is the risk of a bad debt, which excessive interest always carries along with it, and the quality of bills is so limited that a great proportion of their available means remains un employed. Capitalists seem to give way very reluc tantly in such a reduction of the rate of interest as these circumstances naturally urge them to, and their cau tion has been increased, without doubt, by the con sideration that some premium for the risk incurred in the discount bills, after the general pressure which has lately been incurred, is absolutely indispensable. They hold out, too, as long as they can for the rate which has been fixed by the Bank, but the Money Market is in such a state that if any relaxation were to be made by the Bank, the reduction would be eagerly followed, if not carried further still by the private capi talists. Setting aside all opinion on the propriety or otherwise of such a step, it would be the immediate signal for renewed activity in trade, which is waiting the event in order to move at ali. It is perfectly obvious that there will be in that case an abundance of new bills soon created ; that business will revert to its ordinary state, and that confidence will be restored. Wha t podcy the Bank are likely to adopt in this emergeneY is a mistery to all, and without some knowledge of their situation at this moment utterly impossible to divine. They are so constantly forced to do what the Director s themselves pronounce to be improper, by the dread of worse consequences, that it would be a very rash con clusion to come to from any external appearances that they are in a safe position. There is a rumour afloat, which has prompted th e above remark, that they have recently been placed in th e ' awkward and painful predicament of affording very, es,' tensive assistance hi a - quarter to which their most ous notice has constantly been directed,_ to "Alia' th e y have hitherto refused all support, and done every thing. in their power to damage and depreciate, though smith assistance tended at the same time to counteract the measures they had in progress for the contraction of the circulation, and all through the fear of what might happen if such assistance were refused. d the has not yet, at least, been experienced much beYea The comparative easiness of money above described circle of the higher class of commercial interests. Among the smaller description of traders both in town and country, want of accommodation is still much felt. •Considering the proportionably less amou n t o f small bills in circulation than at the same period ,of former years, arising from the depression of trade, a much larger number than usual has been returned since the begin ning of this month, protested for nob-payment,- and to a great extent, it is said, consisting of bills with the , endorsements on them of country joint-stock bank s, One London banking firm alone is mentioned as bay in g had 300 of this sort of bills protested. The notar ies, it is believed, have been fully occupied. POSTS—Money continues to be obtained on go od bills at the same rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the use of the mercantile interest, while for stock jobbing purposes the easier charge of from 4i to 5 per cent. is current. It is thought that the late dealings in the Foreign Market, and the heavy differences that may be expected to arise upon the ensuing Account, will pro' bably cause- a renewal of the pressure in that branch of the Stock Exchange. The settlement is fixed for Monday. CHRONICLE.—In consequence of the improved state of things in the City, and the comparative ease experienced in the Money Market, owing chiefly to the large shipments of specie to this country from va riV . ° quarters, which have b een go i ng on l ately, it was 0001' pated by many persons that there would have been El notice from the Brink of England reducing the rate of interest, or extending the mode of accommodation ; b ut nothing of the sort appeared, and every thing therefore remains in the same state. Some extensive purchases were made in Consols, chiefly for bone fide investment ; and they appear gr a d ua ll y to i mprove , b ut t h e price s are not greatly altered. HE RALD.—The sudden change which has ta ken place in the value of m one y, b ot h for commercial pur' poses and upon the Stock Exchange, appears likely to lay the foundation of an amazing deal of speculation: not only in the public securities of Great Britain and Foreign States, but also in some portion of the manufac ture and produce markets. The present improvement in the Money Market of the country, is to a degree most certainly gratifying t j c) its well-wishers ; it how ever rema i ns t o be prove"' whether this sudden change is founded upon a reanY healthy action of the currency system ; for, if the or trary should turn out to be the case, the present calm may be converted into a tempest before the deluded We' cu:ators, who are acting on the faith of its continuance, are aware of it. We have not noticed so great an amoun t o f gener al speculation in the two principal departments of the Stock Exchange as there has been to•day for a long time past ; indeed if w(may judge from what has bee° done in the concern, Capel-court, as the old women say, has taken a new lease of its existence. Consider able business has been done in the Consol Market to-day.
