NEW - BANKING =SCHEME The measure brought forward by Sir Robert Peel for the regulation of the currency has been - received with less satis faction by the banking interest than by many others who do not possess the same practical means of judging of its ten , 7 , dency. The remonstrance signed by almost all the London bankers, and forwarded to the Premier, has, however, been treated with neglect, and this is. the more remarkable, inas much as the Minister might be well aware that men of the: habitual prudence of the London..bankers would not, as it were .to a man, express an opinion hostile to a Government, measure, were they ,not pretty fully. convinced of the necessity; of 'such a proceeding., It might be assumed as tolerably cer tain that, in the present case, a degree of danger was appre hended from a perseverance in that part of the Ministerial scheme which attracted the attention of the whole body of the metropolitan banking interest. Apart from the fact, that the proposed limitation of issues is found to be objectionable,. and in some cases impracticable, the Bank of England and the Government are seen to stand in a different and altogether novel relation to each other. Under all former regulations the Bank of England was left free with respect to its issues, and the whole history of the. institution goes to show that its notes have attained the high credit they have from the cir cumstance that they have not been issued under Government influence, but upon the sole responsibility of the Bank, as an establishment conducted by persons well versed in commer cial affairs. IdeonSideration of a loan made to the Govern-. went, the Bank acquired certain privileges. Subsequent loans were the occasion of succeeding charters, but the posi tion of the Bank of England, as a bank, was free and inde pendent. The privileges it enjoyed were defined and under stood, but its administration was left to the discretion of the Directors, who adapted their measures to circumstances as, they arose. The records of the establishment prove that, in periods of difficulty, it was the mainstay of the commercial. interests whom it befriended . by its liberality mid seasonable aid. The support afforded by the Bank Of England to the commerce of the country, especially entitles it to the grati tude of the mercantile community. The measure before Par liament, however, greatly curtails the powers of the Corpora tion, and in the event of a period of commercial pressure oe , curring, any accommodation to the public on the part of. the Directors that involves an increase in the issue of notes . beyond the maximum of fourteen millions is interdicted.. It is not necessary, in .order to show the important- services rendered the country by the Bank of England,. in the judicious advance of its paper on securities to mercan tile houses under temporary embarrassment, and the vast ex tent of ruin that has been in consequence prevented, to go far back into the annals of the institution; nor does it appear that, in the performance of their good offices, the Board of Directors have violated any sound and recognised principle of banking, even admitting that they may, for a short interval, have disturbed, idsome degree the exact proportions which theory may have required to exist between the issues of paper and the deposits of bullion. Periods of difficulty are sure, at some time or:other, to visit the commercial world again, and it has awakened the fears of the London bankers to think upon the consequences to the country, should there be no power at hand to relax the etringencv of the Act about to be brought into operation. The apprehensions of the London bankers are shared by the more experienced and intelligent country bankers, who foresee in the whole project one of the most vital changes in our monetary concerns ever attempted, and, while the principle of a single bank of issue seems now to be fairly established, it is held to be matter of deep regret that the opinions of theorists should have had the weight they would appear to have had with the framers of the new enactment. —Morning Post. .

BRAZILS. Her Majesty's packet Swift, Lieutenant Douglas, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday evening; from Rio de Janeiro, April 29 ; Bahia, May 8 ; and from Pernambuco, May 14. The branch packet Cockatrice conveyed down to Buenos Ayres her mails, and the Viper brought up the returns for England. The Crane packet arrived at Rio, April 13, in thirty-six days from Falmouth. On freight about 30,0001.; 20,0001. are stated to have been remitted on Government account per present packet. The new Ministry at Rio; although meeting with much opposition, appear to be gradually acquiring greater influence and strength, and it is supposed will be able to command a Considerable majority in the Chambers from the assurances of support they had received. The session was to commence on the 3d of May. The celebration of the marriage of Donna Januaria (still the presumptive heiress to the Imperial throne) with the Neapolitan Prince D'Aquila took place on the day before the packet sailed, with the customary magnificence. The city was illuminated and grand doings took place. Her Majesty's ship Satellite was at. Bahia ; the Growler, Curacao, Vestal, Helena, Crescent, and the Crane were at Rio. The latter would leave for Falmouth in a fortnight. Her Majesty's ship Daphne had sailed for the River Plate. The French frigate Glorieuse, sailed March 30, for France, and put back leaky, or. April 11, the Admiral on board, who then hoisted his flag on board the Arethuse. . JANEIRO, APRIL 26.—The exchange, since our last circu lar of the 11th ult.., maintained itself steady at 244 and 25, and considerable amounts were passed at both these rates, chiefly at the latter, till the 10th inst., when it suddenly rose, in consequence of the favourable accounts received from Europe, and extensive transactions were effected, both at 26 and subsequently at 25i. Since the 23d little has been done, and to-day some small sums have been passed at 250. The amount of bills negociated since our last we estimate at 230,000/. The shipments in March were 110,360 bags, and 140 brls. Coffee (against 105,054 bags in the same month last year); 734 cases, 4,418 brls. Sugar; 34,279 hides; 64,701 Ox horns; 418 half tanned hides; 88 pipes Rum; 1,060 rolls Tobacco; 569 bags Rice ; 207 barrels Tapioca; 694 planks Jacaranda. ExcitAxGEs.—London, 25} a 254, 60 days' sight ; Paris, 370 per franc ditto ; Hamburgh, 680 a 685 per mark bauco, ditto ; Bar Gold, 175 per cent. premium. COFFEE.—Prices remained unaltered from the date of our last till the beginning of last week, when in consequence of the news received by the Crane packet that a material improvement had taken place in the principal markets in Europe, extensive sales were effected, chiefly of good and first and second quality, at an advance of 200 rs. per arroba. The sales since the 13th instant we estimate at about 60,000, and during the month at 90,000 bags, leaving a stock on hand of about 15,000 bags of all descriptions. The arrivals continue extremely limited, and of superior Coffee very little appears. Of the new crop, Serra Abaixo, so very little has come to market that no com petent judgment can as yet be formed as to its quality. The clearances in March were 84,586 bags for the United States (against 26,704 in the same month last year), 27,539 for Hamburgli, 24,208 for Trieste, 2,064 for the rest of the Mediterranean, 4,500 for Antwerp, 2,573 for Bremen, 907 "for Havre, 5,749 for Denmark, 6,185 for Sweden, 2,166 for Portugal, 5 for Liverpool, and 23 for the coast of Africa—in all 110,504 bags and barrels. SUGARS.—The sales since our last amount to about 3,800 cases, at 2,600 to 2,800 and 1,600 to 1,800 ; of these one-third are for Portugal and the Mediterranean, and the remainder for the River Plate and home consumption. The stock on hand, including the arrivals in the last few days, is about 1,800 cases, and 1,400 bags and barrels Pernambuco. HIDES.—This article has been rather,dull, the sales during the month not exceeding 13,000 Rio Grande hides, the larger at 160 to 165, medium 176, the small at 190 reis; and also 5,500 River Plate, at 163 and 167 reis. The stock is about 129,000, chiefly large hides. Sroca.—Six per Cent. Stock has gradually advanced from 70i and 70i to 72, considerable amounts having been dis posed of at the intervening rates, but chiefly at the last, at which it may be considered firm. P.S.—Saturday, April 27, Two o'clock —Exchange — V er y %%deans and the forces little doing at 25a, and 25k. Coffee —Nothing done; appear that in some par tial shipments this month, 92,828 bags. NEWS FROM TILE RIVER PLATE.—Political affairs in the River Plate are still very unsettled. The last accounts from Monte Video continue to leave it doubtful which party is 3; k t i o nn si i i s c h c e e s ed b a t l i t l h e o e u n g,h t under Oribe, the latter have been defeated. Fructuoso Riviera is stated to have collected a large body of ineu and horses, and to have expressed a determination to bring the war to an end by a general engagement. l t i i k al el h i e t would mer,t e FRENCH PLAys.:---Mr. Mitchell's benefit, last even ing, was honoured by a most crowded and brilliant audience, amongst whom we noticed the following distinguished per sonages :—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, the Baroness Ahlefeldt, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Duke of Brunswick, the Baron and Baroness Brunow, the Mexican Minister, the Earl and Countess o f C raven , E ar l B r uce, Earl of Essex, Baron Dedel, Lady Floyd, Lady Meux, Lady Augusta Somerset, Count de Witt, Sir W. Massey Stanley, Lady Shuckborough, Sir George and Miss Talbot, Hon. Spencer Cowper, Hon. Adolphus Capel, Baron Finot, Lord 'and Lady Aylmer, Sir Hugh and Lady • Campbell, Lady and Miss Quentin, &c. On the morning of the 18th instant, the tri-coloured banner, by which the hero of Waterloo 11 , 46 Strathfieldsaye, was duly presented •at the Castle and placed in the guard chamber over the beautifully executed bust, by. Chantrey, of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. This is the twenty-ninth banner received since the battle of Waterloo, SAILING MATCH. Notwithstanding the circumstance of there being but three boats entered to contend, the above-bridge sailing match for a Silver Cup and Cover, given by the Arundel Yacht Club, was a very interesting and well-contested match throughout, and reflects credit upon the nautical skill displayed hy the respective owners. The distance was, as usual, from the Temple-gardens to Wandsworth-meadows and back, and at a little before three the following were at their stations : Hazard, 6 tons, Messrs.Ackborne and T. Charles (owners), red with white dice. _ • Surprise, 7 tons, Mr. T. Edwards (owner), blue with red cross. Bermudian Maid, 7 tons, Mr. H. Bailes (owner,`, red over white. There was a fine light breeze from the north-west, and at five minutes past three, the boats being in readiness, the Commodore, T. Hewes, &lg., gave the signal from his cutter, and the yachts canted round. The Hazard took the lead, and was closely followed in her different boards until near Hungerford by the Surprise, who there passed her to wind ! ward, and went in advance through Westminster and Vaux hall bridges. In the upper part of Chelsea- reach, the Hazard showed symptoms of a desire to weather her opponent, and the sailing on either hand was very pretty. Although the Hazard was unsuccessful here, in the next reach she went by her adversary to leeward, and first rounded the flag-boat, at half-past four, two minutes ahead of the Surprise, who was about the same time in advance of the Maid. On the return down, immediately after passing Battersea-bridge, the Sur prise came alongside of the Hazard, but haVing lulled too much, the latter again went away; but on her arrival at the Red-house, the Surprise went by her and kept the lead down. The boats came in at the Temple in_ the following order : The Surprise, 37 minutes past 5 ; the Hazard, 37 minutes 45 seconds past; and the Maid at 45 minutes past. Whenever the wind partially died away the latter seemed to creep up, but otherwise dropped astern. • POST-OFFICE. —The system of espionage in the General Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, is comparatively unknown to the public. During the secretaryship of Sir Francis Freeling, the opening of letters posted in London for the continent, as well as those from the provinces pass ing through the Foreign-office, was carried on to a great ex tent, and we know (says a correspondent) to a certainty that there are now in the Post-office more than one individual who, in carrying letters and packets which had been opened and iesealed in the " Espionage-office" to the inland-offices, have found the wax on violated letters and packets sticking to their hands, from its not having had sufficient time to cool. The " Espionage-office" was then situate on the south-west corner of the Post-office, and is now partly used as the Money Order-office. We challenge contradiction to our statement.—Morning paper. The members of the l'armers Club dined together, last evening, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's street. Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., presided. Mr. Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris have accepted engagements in Norfolk. This evening (Thursday) they appear at Yarmouth, and at the Norwich Theatre on Monday. SUDDEN CHANGE OF FORTUNE,—On Thursday last a labourer of Dedham, in this county received the pleas ing and unexpected intelligence by post, that he was entitled to a legacy of 6,0001, bequeathed him by the late Mr. William Fisher, of Boxted, whose death was noticed in our obituary a short time since. The testator, it is said, died possessed of property to the amount of 150,0001., the greater portion of which he bequeathed to Mr. W. F. Hobbs, of Marks Hall, in this county, who was his relative and g9d-son.—Essex Herald THE LATE MINISTERIAL TRIUMPH.—What a curious game are politics ! We could have believed that a Ministry which was placed in power by the agricultural party, to defend them against the League, would have owed their existence, within three years, to their greatest enemy ? \\rho c could obden have Fe b b e r l u ieL y ed ; 1 w 84 11 3 7 o S n ir ti ß le ob fi e oo rt r o Peel fthe de h r oa u s n e ce o d Mr. f Cominons,-;hat in the next session he would owe his ma jority to Mr. Cobden ? Yet so it is. The Ministers on Mon day had a majority of twenty-two. In that number there ;ippear the names of eleven or twelve gentlemen of Liberal politics, more or less connected with the League, and some of them the leaders of that great confederacy. It is clear, therefore, that if these gentlemen had voted with their own side of the House, the Minister would either have been stale mated by a tie, orliave found himself in a minority of two. =Morning Chronicle. HARBOURS OF REFUGE.—We have strong reason for believing that although no final determination has been yet taken, the Commissioners who lately visited this part of the coast in the prosecution of their survey as to the most eligible sites for Harbours of Refuge, were so impressed with the advantages offered by Seaford Bay, that in all probability that spot, together with Dover on one side and the Isle of Portland on the other, will be recommended in their report. As we have already intimated, we cannot at present make any more positive announcement on the sub ject; but we may, at least, venture to congratulate our readers on the certainty of what we have stated above. To the town of Brighton such a decision w6uld be of immense importance, since it would afford sure means of protection in the event of those hostilities which such madmen as the Prince de Joinville—of whom there are, we fear, too large a number to be found in France,—are doing their utmost to bring about. In the report of a former Commission, the eastern side of Beachy Head was recommended. We under stand that the survey now made has proved Seaford Bay to possess one very important superiority, namely, that it has a good anchorage, which the other has not.—Brighton Gazette. LORD FRANCIS EGERTON.—A rumour WAS very current on the Manchester Exchange, yesterday, to the effect that Lord Francis Egerton will almost immediately be created Duke of Bridgewater; and that, in the event of his accession to the peerage, his Lordship's eldest son, Mr. George Eger ton, will be a candidate for the representation of the southern division of Lancashire.—Liveool Courier.

THE LONDON MAIL TO EDINBURGH.— We under stand that the London mail will shortly arrive in Edinburgh an hour and twenty minutes earlier than by the present mode of conveyance. This acceleration is consequent upon the opening of the Newcastle and Darlington Railway, but the mails are not, as was expected, to be conveyed along that line, but to continue on the present route, via Lancaster and. Carlisle ; and the earlier arrival is to be secured by an acce leration of the speed of the mail-train along the line of route. —Edinburgh Adratiser.

The Queen held a Court yesterday afternoon at Bucking ham Palace, for the reception of an Address on the Throne from the Corporation of the City of Dublin. The Deputation from the Corporation arrived'at the Palace at half-past two o'clock, and were conducted to the Library. The Deputation consisted of— The Lord Mayor of Dublin. Aldermen—Butler, Gardiner, John Keshan, and Cornelius Egan. Town Councillors —Jeremiah Dunne, John L. Arabin, Staunton, Charles P. Gavan, Myles Tobyn, Richard White, John Reilly, William Fitzpatrick, and Joha M'Gloin. The Lord Mayor and Deputation were accompanied by the Very Rev.

The Deputation were conducted from the Library, up the grand staircase to the Green Drawing-room, by Sir William Martins, Gentleman Usher in Waiting, the Lord Mayor ap pearing in his scarlet robe, with his gold collar of office. His Lordship was supported on either side by his chaplain, the Rev. Dr. O'Connell, and his private secretary, Mr. P. O'Brien. The Marshal of Dublin and the High Constable, and also the Mace-bearer and Sword-bearer, carrying their respective official ensigns, preceded his Lordship. The Al dermen and Town Councillors followed, wearing their diffe rent municipal robes. The Lord Chamberlain received the Deputation at the en trance to the Throne-room, and conducted the Corporation to the presence of the Sovereign.

The cost of the statue and pedestal was 9,0001., the metal having been given to the Committee by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and valued at 1,5901., in ad dition to that amount. The money was raised by a public subscription, after a meeting held at the Mansion= house. The contract with -Sir Francis Chantrey was made in February, 1839, by the trustees, Sir Peter Laurie, Mr. John Masterman ' Mr. Arthur K. Barclay, and Mr. R. L. Jones, the work to be completed and fixed by 1843. Sir F. Chantrey, at his death, left the whole motel complete, and also the head of the Duke, the full size. The work has since been completed by his assistant, Mr. Weeks, under the direction of the executors. There was much apprehension, from the delay in delivering the stones of the. pedestal by the contractors, Messrs. Macdonald and - Leslie, that the statue could not have been completed on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, and they were not on the ground until mid day on Saturday. Mr. Jackson, the contractor for the Royal Exchange, then took the work in hand, and, by the most spirited exertions, succeeded in getting the whole of the pedestal fixed, and the statue in its place, by the evening of Monclayt.- The general opinion passed uporrtlfFpedestal - diiiing,-yeSterday, was that it is much too high, and too plain, to do justice to the magnificent structure in the front of which it is placed. The statue itself is fourteen feet In height, from the feet of the horse to the top of the head of the Duke. The pedestal on which it stands is of Peterhead, or the red granite of Aberdeenshire, with the exception of the lower course, which is of grey granite. This pedestal is altogether fourteen feet high, so that the total height is exactly twenty-eight feet. The attitude of the horse is of the quiet character, which was introduced by the great artist, and greatly resembles the horse of the statue of George IV., in front of the National Gallery. The costume of the Duke is generally taken from that which he wore on the great day of Waterloo, including his usual and re markable military cloak. ALLEGED POISONING BY PRUSSIC ACID. Yesterday, Mr. James Cockburn Belaney, a surgeon, was brought before Mr. Broderip, at the Thames police-court, on a charge of poisoning his wife, Rachel Belaney. This was the second examination of the prisoner, and the interest which has been excited by the case appeared to be in no de gree abated. A rumour was circulated that a second charge would be preferred against Mr. Belaney, and the report created a painful sensation in Stepney It will be seen, from a remark that fell from the worthy Magistrate on the termi nation of the proceedings, that some grounds really do exist for the rumour. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Messrs. Coode and Browne, solicitors, appeared on this occasion for the prisoner. The Rev. Mr. Belaney, vicar of Arlington, in Sussex, a highly-respectable and much-esteemed minister of the Esta blished Church, and another brother of the accused person, were present during the investigation. The prisoner, who is thirty-three years of age, but looks several years older, is a person of very gentlemanly appearance. He was much de jected, but listened to the evidence with great anxiety. Dr. Henry Letheby, a physician, residing at No. 12, Tre 4iegar-square, Mile-end-road, was the first witness called. He stated that on Tuesday, the 11th inst., he examined the con tents of the deceased's stomach, which was handed to him by Mr. Curling, the surgeon who conducted the post mortem exa mination with Mr. Garratt. The liquid was in a tumbler, and had a turbid appearance, and the odour of prussic acid. It was placed in a retort, with a little diluted sulphuric acid, and about a drachm and and a half of fluid was distilled over. This fluid had the odour of Prussic acid. It was then tested in the following manner, by first saturating it with so lution of potass, and to this was added a solution of a double salt of iron, together with a few drops of muriatic acid. A bluish green precipitate was the result, indicating the pre sence of prussic acid. At that stage of the inquiry a note was received by Mr. Curling, who was present, and nothing more was done at that time. On a further analysis, he detected the presence both of prussic acid and of Epsom salts in the deceased's stomach, which was also brought to him. He did not test it for quantity, but it smelt very strongly' of prussic acid. He should say it was about the pharmaceutical strength. Mr. Broderip asked the witness if he detected the prussic acid in sufficient quantity to destroy life? Dr. Letheby—l can't answer that question, Sir. It could only be answered by an experiment. I should be very sorry to try. If prussic acid is taken in a pure state, one drop is sufficient to destroy life. One hundred and twenty drops of the pharmaceutical strength contain very nearly three drops of the pure acid. ' Mr. Broderip—Will you state what remedies ought to have been used by the prisoner when he discovered his wife had taken the priissic acid he 'left iirtt tumbler? tar. Letheby— As a medical man, this treatment ought to have been adopted :—The great object is to rouse the patient ; and the first thing I should do would be to dash cold water in the face. I should then evacuate the contents of the stomach, and at the same time exhibit stimuli, such as ammonia, or brandy and water, provided the heart's action was still main tained. I should perform artificial respiration, and apply a sponge 'moistened with a little chloride of lime, or a weak solution of ammonia, somewhere near the mouth, so that the odour might be inhaled. This I should maintain for at least an hour, and, provided there was a galvanic apparatus at hand, I would apply galvanism. Mr. Broderip—Have you known any cases where the means you have described have been successful after the dilute prussic acid had been, taken? Dr. Letheby—Yes, Sir, I have. In cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson, Dr. Letheby said he had considerable experience in cases of poisoning by prussic acid.. Its presence on a post mortem examination would be easily detected by the odour. Mr. Garrett, the surgeon, who 'was first called in to see the deceased directly after her death, here said he had no thing to add to his former testimony, and was allowed to depart. Mr, Thomas Donahoo, a surgeon, of No. 27, White Horse street, Stepney, stated that he was acquainted with the pri. ago, and knew he was a surgeon, as several times, and on one occasion he case of midwifery for him., He. had askedh Bonere called h about m att fourhaist attend eshop y ears nd a lost sight of the prisoner since that time until about Wed nesday. or Tliursdas. B ; i w an e ey ek, when he was informed that a gentleman named had left his name on the slate as an old acquaintance, but he did not then- recollect the person. On Thursday evening (the Gth), about seven o'clock. the prisoner came to his shop, and he recognised him. He said he had lapen in the habit of taking prussic acid in small doses for some time, and wanted some, and that unfortunately what he did get was very spurious in ge neral, and he should be obliged to witness if he could obtain some. He promised to do so,. and re quested the prisoner to call for it next morning, as he was not in the habit of keeping it. On the Friday morning, the 7th, the prisoner came to his shop before witness had risen from his bed, and rang the ball. He then supplied the prisoner with an ounce stopper phial of prussic acid, half a drachm of acetate of morphine (a deadly poison, found by the police in the priiOner's room), some salts and senna, carbonate of so'da, and tartaric acid. He asked for a supply of all those articles at the same time as he ordered the prussic acid. He saw no more of the prisoner until the fol lowing Monday, when he called upon him, accompanied by Captain Clarke, and said he had met with a sad misfortune, by the neck of the bottle containing the prussic acid coming off, and wished him to 'attend the inquest, which he promised to do if he could. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—The prisoner called upon him about eight o'clock in the morning for the prussic acid, arid said he was going to take some for pains in the stomach. He had .had no experience with prussic acid. He considered acetate of morphine a more pleasant medicine than prussic acid in complaints of irritation of the stomach. He had never known prussic acid given in cases of phthisis. Dr. Ramadge, who was a very high authority, did not use it in cases of phthisis. He had heard of prussic acid being re commended to allay irritation of the stomach. He lived about half a mile or rather less from Green-street, where Mrs. Be laney died. - He knew the prisoner again directly he saw him, and they recognised each other as old acquaintances. Thomas Long said he was gardener at the City of London and Tower Hamlets Cemetery, near Bow. I saw the pri soner on Saturday, the Bth inst., a few hours after his wife's death. It was about half-past twelve o'clock when he en tered the cemetery, and said he wanted to purchase a piece of ground for the burial of a body. He did not say who it was, .but Captain Clarke, who accompanied him, said it was his mistress. The prisoner said he should wish to bury her on the following Tuesday, and should like the grave to be a brick one. Witness said he must give four clear days':notice be fore a brick grave could be got ready. The prisoner and Captain Clarke then consulted together, and they said a seven feet grave would do for the present, until such time as a brick grave could be got ready, and they would see about it. The prisoner then left him and Captain Clarke talking together, and leant upon the stone of a brick grave, pulled out his handkerchief, and began weeping. The prisoner said nothing more to him, and left the ground. He had not seen him since, till that day. Mr. Clarkson--,-I wish to know, for my future guidance, who brought you here? Witness—Mr. Hill, the superin tendendent of the cemetery, informed m e th a t th e p o li ce had come for me this morning, and desired me to attend the Court. Mr. Broderip, after consulting with Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, said there were reasons why he should not proceed fur ther with the case thee, although many witnesses were yet to be examined. • Mr. Clarkson—l shall not trouble you with any observa tions on the case, Sir. You are aware, Sir, the coroner's inquest, relating to this very melancholy case, is adjourned till Monday next. I trust you will not send this unhappy gentleman for trial till the inquiry before the Coroner's jury is terminated. I will not be tempted to make any further observations beyond this, than on the part of my client, I shall not object_to the most rigid inquiry into everything. Mr. Broderip—l find it ray duty to remand you (the pri soner at the bar) until this day week. It is my duty also to state that, since the last examination, I have received authentic information, which leads me -to expect very mate rial evidence, which will throw some light upon the present obscurity of this most painful case, and, perhaps, on another case against the prisoner. Mr. Belaney was then removed in custody, and at the usual hour sent to Cle:kenwell prison in the van. Inspector Haines of the detective police force, who was present during the examination, has received directions to proceed to the north, arid make some inquiries about the prisoner's pur suits during the last three or four years, and some extra ordinary disclosures are expected at the next examination. An immense steamer, to he named the Terrible, and to be fitted with en g ines of 800-horse power, is now building at the dock-yar d, Deptford. She will be soon ready for launching. SALE OF THE CLEE VE COURT 11IANSION AND ESTATES BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS. BRISTOL, SATURDAY, JUNE 15.—As more than the usual interest attending sales of this nature has been excited in the present instance, we may, perhaps, be pardoned for stepping out of the accustomed course of . regarding such matters as merely private. We will premise, then, that the property consisted of the Cleeve Court Mansion, and various dairy and grazing farms, comprising altogether 1,547 acres, and pro ducing a rental of 3,400/. a-year ; the whole belonging to J. H. S. Pigott, Esq. The sale was appointed for Tuesday, the 11th inst., and the auctioneer employed to dispose of this Es tate was the celebrated George Robins, whose fame, as he would say himself, is " European." This circumstance, to - gether with the well known valuable nature of the property, brought together so large a company - , that it was found neces sary to adjourn from the original place fixed for holding the sale (the Commercial Room) to the large room of the White Lion, in Broad-street, which, at one o'clock, was completely Crowded, not less than 600 persons present, and the heat quite overpowering. We may also state that the quality of the audience was quite equal to the quantity. The influence and property that had been congregated by the alluring announce ment of this auction was sufficient to have purchased the whole county of Somerset twice over. Mr. Robins mounted the rostrum at one o'clock, and after stating how much he was flattered by the numerous attend ance, went on to say that the property was one of the most important ever offered for sale in this county. He then di rected his clerk to read the conditions. The clerk then read the conditions. On the fourth being read, which requires purchasers to pay their deposits to the solicitor for the vendor, Mr: ROBINS said it was the first time-in-all his long-pros. fessional experience that he had ever known the deposits to be made pay-able to the solicitor; they were always the legi timate profit of, and invariably paid to, the auctioneer; but as he did not wish ,to disappoint the large company assem bled, he consented to submit to sell under Mr. Baker's con ditions. But he did so under solemn protest and notice that he should require the benefit of the advantage to be derived from ete deposits. He had been told it was the custom in this part of the country to pay the deposits to the solicitor ; but he would, in the hearing of Mr. Fergus, than whom a more honourable or more experienced man did not exist in the profession, say it was a custom " more honoured in the breach than the observance." Mr. BAKER—Is this a notice to the gentlemen present, or is it a notice to Mr. Pigott's agent? Mr. Ronms—lt is a notice that we sell under your conditions. _ _ _ Mr. TYLEE-It has always been the practice, throughout the county of Somerset, to pay the deposit to the vendor's solicitor. Mr. KNAPP corroborated Mr. Tylee, and observed that Mr. Robins's remarks seemed to throw some sort of slur on Mr Baker, which was quite uncalled for. Mr. GOODHDID — The conditions are before us, and that is all we have to do with the matter. It seems to me that the subject has been very unnecessarily introduced. What is it to us to whom we pay the deposits ? Mr. Rosins—That is your opinion? Mr. GOODIIIND—It is. Mr. ROBINS—It is not of much value then. This slight skirmish being finished, the rest of the condi tions were read, when one or two gentlemen raised some ob jections, which were put down by the auctioneer declaring that the conditions had been properly considered, and Mr. Baker would make no alteration or modification in them. Mr. Robins then put _up the , first Lot, comprising the Cleeve Court Estate of 260 acres, and an " abode of the most delightful description." He exhausted all his vocabulary in magnifying the property, but without much effect. The value he put on it was 30,000/. He got a bidding for 20,0001., and it was bought in for 24,0001.. Lot 2, consisting of a Cottage Ornee, and 63A. 2a. 15p. of rich dairy land, was bought in for 5,5001. Lot 3, comprising the first Claverham Farm, with farm re sidence and out buildings, and 235 A. 3a. 21p., obtained a bid ding from Mr. Fargus of 12,500 guineas, but was bought in for, 13,500/. Lot 4, the second Claverham Farm, with residence, or chards, gardens, out-buildings, &c., and 134 acres of land, was bought in at 7,5001. Lot 5, comprising the third Claverham Farm, with house, orchards, buildings, and 41 acres of land, obtained a bidding of 2,0001. from Mr. Tylee, but was bought in at 2,6001. Lot 6, the fourth Claverham Farm, with good residence, out buildings, and 126 acres of rich dairy and grazing land, was bid up to 9,0001. by Mr. Fargus, but was bought in for 9,1001. Lot 7.—Mr. John Lyons' Farm, with new residence, build ings, and 157 acres was bid for by Mr. Fargus up to 9,4004 but was bought in at 9,6001. Lot B.—Farm-house, &c., and 90 acres of rich dairy land, was bought in at 4,7001. Lot 9.—Three closes of meadow land, containing 16A. 3a. 31P. was bought in for 1,0001. Lot 10.—Small grazing farm of 55A. Mr. Tylee bid 3,000 guineas; bought in for 4,000. Lots t 12, and 13.—A1l small, were bought in at 80, 90, and 90 guineas. Lot 14.—A small piece of 3a. 10r. was bought by a gentle man, whose name we did not hear, for 90 guineas. Lot 15 comprised the Nailsea Court Farm, with ancient manorial house, gardens, buildings, and 156 acres of rich dairy and grazing land. There was no bidding, and it was bought in at 7,800 guineas. Lot 16.—For the Cadbury Farm, with house, buildings, tic., and 22 acres, Mr. Tylee bid 1,700 guineas. It was bought in for 1,950. Lot 17 was bought in for 2801. Lot 18.—Mr. Tylee bid 1,000/. ; it was bought in for 1,060/. Lot 19 was purchased by Mr. Braikenridge for 1,8001. Lot 20 was sold to the same gentleman for 6501. Lot 21 went to the same purchaser for 1,300/. Lot 22 was bought in at 1,300/. ; and Lot 23, the last, was disposed of in the same manner for 330 guineas. This concluded the business, at half-past three o'clock. The attorneys attended in great abundance, to assist Mr. Baker's appeal to hold the deposits. They spoke angrily, but in addressing Mr. Robins they took nothing by their mo tion. He told them to be satisfied with a /ono law bill, and leave the legitimate profit of the deposit with the auctioneer, why was always the stakeholder. In this case he had pro tested, and would require the interest derivable from it of Mr. Pigott. The result, however, will render this unneces sary; for Mr. Baker (who played first fiddle as valuer of the land) put such outrageous prices, as precluded the least chance of selling; but for this, the result would have been prodigious. This is the second time, during two years, that the Commercial Rooms have been found insufficient to hold a third part of the auditory—this honour seems to belong especially to Mr. George Robins.—Bristol paper. FRANKFORT, JUNE 14. Yesterday evening u courier arrived here from the Hague, on his way to liissingen, to inform M. Sevina, the Russian Ambas sador to the Court of Bavaria, now residing at that place, that his Majesty the Emperor of Russia would pro ceed direct, by way of Berlin, to St. Petersburgh. There seems to be no doubt that this sudden change in the Emperor's plan is owing exclusively to the dangerous illness of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandria, Princess of Hesse. CRUSADE AGAINST REPEAL BUTTONS.—On Friday morning, notice having been forwarded to the Corporation House, in William-street, that the main pipe fo supplying water to the Royal Barracks was out of order, some of the men employed in the pipe-water de partment were , at once dispatched to rectify it; but on approaching the barrack-gate the were refused admit tance by the sentinel, unless they pulled off their repeal buttons. The men declined to do so, and the sentinel refus ing to admit them, although they explained the object of their visit, they returned to the Pipewater-office, and the Royal Barracks remained without the means of obtaining a supply of water.—Dublin Evening Post. A sturgeon was taken on Thursday morning, a short distance below the marsh wall, between Errol and Sea side, of the following dimensions :—length, 7 feet 1 inch ; girth, 2 feet 11 inches ; and its weight 1271b5. It is believed to be one of the largest ever taken in this part of the country —Perthshire Constitutional. THE WAVERLEY BALL.—The current rumour that a grand fancy dress ball was in contemplation, in which the leading characters of Sir Walter Scott's novels were to be sustained, is likely to be realised. It is said that measures have been taken by the Duchess of Buccleuch, with the gracious concurrence of her Majesty, to pro mote with her influence the getting up of this splendid fete. The Hon. Charles Murray, under the Duchess's authority, has communicated with a number of the leading female aristocracy on the subject ; and we hear 'that the overtures made by that gentleman have been eagerly embraced. The ball, it is asserted, will partake more of a private re-union than a public assembly, as ad mission will be only granted through the medium of a lady patroness. The surplus fund goes towards defray ing the completion of the Scott monument at Edinburgh. LIBERALITY.--" WANTED A GOVERNESS."—III the Evangelical Magazine may be seen the following adver tisement :—" Wanted, a young person of decided piety, about twenty-two years of age, to take the charge of and educate three children nnder twelve years. She must be capable of imparting a sound Eng lish education, with French and music. Any one who would feel anxious for the welfare of the chil dren will be treated as one of the family, and may realise the comforts of a home. Salary, Si. per annum." The Patriot newspaper, after quoting this tempting offer, animadverts in a strain of bitter irony on the qualifications required, and the remuneration promised by the very re ligious and charitable advertiser. The young lady is to be " pious," " accomplished," "musical," "learned," com bining therewith an almost parental regard for the adver tiser's children, all for 81 per annum! Surely there must be some error here—may it not be, we would charitably ask, an error of the press in accidentally omitting the 0 after the 8? If not, we are utterly at a loss to describe the immeasurable meanness of the man, or his egregious folly in expecting his advertisement to be answered.—Berks Chronicle. QUICK DISPATCH.—On Wednesday, the sth inst., the ship Lydia was berthed in the Waterloo Dock. and within thirty-seven hours discharged a cargo of above 500 hogsheads of sugar; then went to the Graving Dock for repairs, and by Wednesday the 12th' instant had taken a full cargo for export on board, and sailed next day.—Liverpool Courier A HOME SECRETARY OF " LETTERS."—We beg leave—on the part of Sir James Graham—to inform the pub lic, and all parties who, since the Secretary's appointment to office, have failed to receive post letters directed to them, that such letters are, at this moment, in the Home-office.
