JAMES C. MELVII the British jurisdiction. The enterprise was conducted by the young Bandieras, who had d eserte d from the Austrian service, and disgraced their honourable name by throwing themselves among the most desperate characters ot'the revolutionary party. With such leaders, it could scarcely be called a political movement ; it was a mere piratiCal adventure on the coast - of Calabria, which was at once put down by the common people of the place near which they landed, and a few gens d'armes. It may suit M. Mazzini's purposes to repre sent these hapless young men as political victims ; but in reality they were the victims of nothing but their extravagant passions and imprudence ; and they rushed headlong to their own destruction, precisely because their designs were either not foreseen or no longer feared. If they bad been detected, they would doubtless have been prevented, and these young men would not have died an ignominious death.—Titnes. Secretary, W „ EAST INDIA HOUSE, Fin. 26, 1845.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Feb. 2d. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day, and heard appeals. and that he did not think it would be proper to proceed to trial without the evidence of the girl. Ile had, supposing the trial to be postponed, an application to make to the Court on the subject of the custody in which she should lie placed till the next assizes. She had hitherto been in the custody of the constable. He (Mr. Temple) admitted it was not desirable that she should remain in that custody, or in that of any one connected with the prosecution. At the same time, he did not think the father shauld be the person to whom she should be confided. Ile had, he (Mr. Temple) understood, sold all he was possessed of in the county, and there would be no security for the production of the child as a witness at the next assizes. Besides, the object of post poning the trial was, that the child might have an opportu nity of being instructed. It was not probable that object would be attained by intrusting her to the person by whom she had been brought up in such utter ignorance. He would propose she should be put in the care of the gaoler, by whom she would be taken every care of, and where she would be instructed by the chaplain. Mr. WILKINS said he was not aware of any reason for de parting from the usual course, or for supposing the father would prevent her appearance. He, however, should not oppose the application. The trial was postponed accordingly. Several prisoners charged with minor offences pleaded guilty. Francis Neale was convicted of an assault, with a felonious intent, upon the person of EliSsbeth Dixon, and sentenced to tour months' imprisonment. - The particulars are unfit for publication. MORRELL V. SUTTON.-JUDGMENT. This case stood on the paper to-day for judgment. It will be recollected that it was argued some considerable time since before the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Baron Parke, and Mr. Jus tice Coleridge. Those two Learned Judges attended this morning, and gave their opinions on the case, the question in which related to the construction of a will. The Learned Judges differing in their opinions, at the suggestion of the Lord Chancellor it was arranged that tae case should be re argued before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer.' IN THE CASE OF' THE LUDLOW CHARITIES. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Lordship the whole of the morning. ace ill nu: lg. fall o f roll , e streets ro D Wal k. e d, cornmeoc the frost rir hoYelled:ll.63 temPer at the Spal I Spain lc arious PA rls . ea frigu'i t ; t suPP, I IO 'he col —17 i Peter ll.—Hail to the chief who in triumph advances—Why left I my hame ?-31`Leod of Dunvegan, a curse lies upon thee—l gaed w. - ,efit' gate yestreen—Hersel be Ili,ghland Shentleman—Watty cam' out on 0 moonshiny night—Cude night and joy be with you a'.

Dumon, Minister of Public Works : " The railway from Paris to Lyons is, of all lines, to establish one of those to which the country attaches most importance; to unite the ocean and the North Sea to the Mediterranean, Paris, the capital of the kingdom, with Lyons, which is its second town, and with Marseilles, the first of its seaports ; in fine, to connect the north and south of France. Such are the principal results to be realised by the railway from Paris to Lyons ; at the same time, by a branch from Dijon to Mulhouse, this railway will connect Marseilles with Stras bourg, the Mediterranean with the Rhine, and will thus secure to France the continuance of the commercial transit which Austria and Italy seek to take from her." Extract of the Report of the Commission (MM. de Lamartine, Ducos, Serme, Meynard, De La Tournelle, Le Viscomti Decazes, Schut zember, Vdjux Lebobe) charged with the exa m i na ti on o f the "Projet de toi:"— " The great railway going from Paris in opposite directfons joining the ocean and the Mediterranean, Havre, Boulogne, Calais, Dankirk, the frontier of the north, and the great port of Mar seilles, uniting Paris and Lyons, our two great centres of popula tion and strength, of activity and industry, has always fixed the attention of the Government, the Legislature, and the country at large, and should command prompt execution. Already a line is established front the English Channel, by Havre and Rouen, to Paris, and the Great Northern Line is being pursued with vigour. At the other extremity Avignon will soon be united to Marseilles, and it is high time that the central part of this great line through the heart of the kingdom, through the midst of its rich population and its principal towns, should be executed." - Applications for Shares and for Prospectuses to be made to Messrs.

At Bloemondale one of tie pistons of the engine broke, and the train could not proceed. The signal was immediately given to Ghent, and after some hours delay another engine came from Ghent to bring the train to that city. This accident delayed for several hours the arrival of all the trains on the western and southern lines."—Brussels paper, Feb. 24. . • MUNICH, FEB.. l4e—The deputies of the States of he Zollverein will meet in this city on the Ist of July. This cas?, after lasting the whole of Monday and to-day, was brought to a conclusion this evening. It was an information against the defendant for receiving presents from the Raja of Tanjore, at whose Court he was re sident, and from the neighbouring Princes of Poodoocottah, which by Act of Parliament was a misdemeanour. According to the Solicitor-General's statement, the de fendant had received a monthly allowance of two thousand rupees from the Raja besides other large sums, under the head of "table-money," and under various pretexts. Runiours orihise proceedings having reached the Indian Government, Mr. Bayley and Mr. Kinderslev (since dead) were sent to investigate the matter, and the ?ollowing is one of the letters from the defendant to Mr. Kindersley:— " My dear Kindersle y ,—l have some hopes that you may be spared a duty whi c h I am sure will be most disagreeable to you, from a letter which I have addressed to Government, and Al' which I enclose you a copy. Pray show it to the official; if you think proper, to Bayley, with my regards, if he pleases to accept them, certainly with my respects. He has acted fairly and honourably to me, occording to the impressions which he has received ; but I wish he could have read my heart, or which would have answered the same purpose, the heart of the Raja, the bitterly de ceived!' No; it is I that have been bitterly deceived. I have not the least intention of denying the fact of having lent myself to a system of some forty years' duration. The cruelty of Sir Fadom's measure, my deep and hopeless state of embarrassment, the refu , al of the Court to grant me any redress, because I was employed out of the regular line of my profession,' though they acknowledged the injus tice I bad met with from the Governorrof Madras, the inat tention of Lord Elphinstone to their orders for my appoint ment to Travancore, by way of compensation, the reduction of my salary at Tanjore, when I did return there, of upwards of 500/. per annum, the entire failure of my health, and with it all hopes of release from the debts I had incurred for others. Oh, I could add to the list, but though I did so for ever, it would be no excuse. The best, the only palliative part of the proceeding is, that I did not deceive the Raja. He was told I would unflinchingly perform my public duty and I did so, ' h o pi ng against hope.' I told him repeatedly I would leave him to his fate, never to return, and I did so, at how great a sacrifice let the present well foreseen (as likely to happen) apparent ruin, to which Bayley's belief of the Raja's assertions exposes me and mine, testify. Good bye, I have been very foolish, 'hoping against hope,' and misled by the Raja's promises, and at times even his sem blance of' amendment. If your inquiry is to proceed in spite of my letter, it should commence with the installation of Sirfagee, in 1799, and Mr. Torins and his annuity of 1,0001. per annum ; Colonel Blackburn ditto, Fife's ditto ; and, above all, to entertain the fact whether I have made any altera tion in the method left me by poor old M‘Lean. No excuse, I know it and deeply feel it. It does not signify whether it is the mere bite of the apple, or eating it all. Touch not, taste not, or the act of insolvency and the' choice left me. And I was foolish. " 1 am faithfully yours, " A. DOUGLAS." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, having concluded his address, proceeded to produce his evidence, which almost entirely consisted of written testimony sent over from India. The reading of these parchments occupied the remainder of yes terday and a great part of to-day. Mr. KELLY addressed the jury for the defendant. Lord DENMAN, with regard - to the (letter, - expressed his clear and distinct opinion that the Learned Counsel who conducted the prosecution would not have been justly dis charging their duty to the public had they not laid that letter before the jury. In his opinion the evidence adduced was admissible for the purpose of proving the charges which had been made, and if the jury believed that evidence, the ver dict must be for the Crown. The jurors intimated their belief of the evidence, and ex pressed their readiness to pronounce the verdict. A discussion then ensued as to the counts on which the verdict should be taken, and certain counts were selected for that purpose. The verdict was then entered for the Crown. Lord Denman, on the applicatio n o f Mr. Kelly, reserved to the defendant leave to move to enter a verdict for him, in case the Court should think that the objections taken in the course of the trial by Mr. Kelly were sustainable in law, or that the evidence was not sufficient to support the informa tion. His Lordship took the opportunity of expressing in strong terms his approbation of the conduct of Mr. Bayley, who had succeeded the defendant as resident at Tanjore, and who, notwithstanding any precedents afforded by the con duct of former Residents, had positively refused those advan tages which they had accepted, and which had been like w i se offered to him. Mr. Bayley had done himself much honour iu thus preferring the performance of his duty to the gratifi cation of his interests. FEBRUARY 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a special jury.) RELPH V. 'UMBER. This was the only case which came before the Court to day, and it possessed little interest to the public. The action arose out of a distress and sale of goods, which the plaintiff alleged belonged to himself. The only Question was whether the goods sold really belonged to the plaintiff or to another person, who was indebted to the defendant. The case was likely to occupy the whole of the day. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —Carlisle, Feb. 24. The Assizes for the county of Cumberland commenced here this morning. The Criminal Court sat at ten o'clock, Mr. Justice Coltman presiding; Mr. Justice Wightman sat at twelve o'clock on the civil side. The calendar contains the names of 22 'prisoners. Of these one, Jane Crosby, stands charged. with the murder of her child, at Lammonby, the appalling particulars of which case have been very lately befbre the public. There are two cases of manslaughter, one of burglary, two of horse-stealing, and two of bigamy. There is one case of an indictment under the late Bankrupts' Act, against the bankrupt for illegally obtaining goods. On the civil side but two causes are entered for trial; both were undefended, and were disposed of in a few minutes, when the Court rose. __ _ (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) John Gillespie was indicted for a burglary in the house of Joseph Grindal, at Wigton, on the night of the 10th of De cember last. Mr. Fawcett conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Ramshay. Mr. FAWCETT stated the case, and called the following witnesses : Joseph Grindal stated, that he is engaged in business as a draper at Wigton, and that on the night of the 10th of De cember last the house and shop were fastened up in the usual manner. The witness slept up• stairs, in the same room with his assistant, Joseph Chadwick. About two o'clock he was awakened by a noise below stairs. He listened, but the noise had ceased. Being alarmed, however, he awoke Joseph Chadwick, and both went down stairs. On going to the door leading out of the shop, he found it open. It had been fastened the night before. Hearing a slight noise in the shop, he endeavoured to close the door, but found that the lock was broken. He then saw a light for a moment, but it was instantly extinguished, and some person came out of the shop door. The witness caught him by the breast, but was instantly knocked down. He was insensible for some seconds, and on coming to himself a little, he found some one beating him on the head and face. He struck at the man, and called for help. His assailant put his fingers into the witness's mouth, and nearly choked him. The wit• ness caught the man by the ear, and the man let him go, and made off along the passage towards the back-yard. The witness pursued him, but lost sight of him, and returning, along the passage, found a blue cap, with something in it he supposed to be the lining, but which proved to be a handkerchief. At the shop door, out of which the rob bers had come, were found a crowbar and a hat, and on the counter a dark lantern. A large quantity of goods had been taken from the drawers, and put up ready to be taken away, but nothing apparently had been removed. The prosecutor was severely cut on the lip and nose, appa rently with some sharp instrument. The wounds bled for several hours. Joseph Chadwick stated, that he went down with Mr. Grindal along the passage to the back door of the shop. They found it open. Mr. Grindal directed the witness to bring a light, and he went towards the kitchen for that pur pose. Looking back, however, and seeing a light in the shop, he returned, but the light was instantly extinguished, and some men rushed out. One of them passed him in the pas sage, and the witness felt he had a cloth cap. He ran along the passage, and witness pursued him into the yard. He got over into the yard of the Black Swan Mlle-house ad joining, and witness followed, calling for assistanae. At this moment another man came up, and told the witness if he did not hold his tongue, he would blow his brains out, and both the men went off in the direction of a passage adjoining the Black Swan-yard, called Meeting-house-lane. It appeared that about daybreak the follo w i ng morn i ng there was found a pair of boots on a horse -ston e i n Meeting house-lane. These were of rather peculiar ma k e . Th e right one was very much bent in th e so l e, and inside the heel was a piece of cork so as to raise that part of the foot about an inch. The prisoner is lame in the right foot, and wears usual!), a boot of a similar construction. A shoemaker was also called who had mended a pair of bo o t s f or t h e pri soner, and had put on the right boot a patch similar to that ohfa the prisoner in cus ad appearing on the boot now produced. The heel was ra i se d i n the same manner. The prisoner had been police-officerbeen seen in Meeting house-lane about two hours before the robbery. of the tnoadlmyt appeared esoomf e d a Hetherington, s from b e fi)r t e h e t testimonythhea tb ro robbery; bir had that he th en searc h e d d him, and to the best opinion of the witness the cap now pro duced was the one he then had on. Mr. RAMSHAY addressed the jury for the defence. His LORDSHIP summed up. The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. —Trans ported for life. THE LAMMONBY MURDER..--His LORDSHIP stated that he had examined the little girl, the principal witness in this case, and that she was in such a state of ignorance that he could not rermit her to be sworn. It wo u ld probably be ne cessary to postpone the trial. Mr. TEMPLE said he Was instructed for the prosecution, PUBLICATIONS. THE PROPOSED NkW TARIFF-GRATIS.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Feb. 25, (Before the ASSISTANT- Jupcf; and a Bench of Magistrates., Miss OSBOUN'S CASE.—ThiS case, which excited consider able interest., has at length fallen to the ground. Throughout the whole of Tuesday the Court and its avenues were crowded to excess by persons anxious to hear the result. The Bench also presented a thronged assembly of Magistrates, amongst whom we observed the Hon. Frederick Byng, the Hon. C. Lennox Butler, Sir Moses Montefiore, together with some other gentlemen of distinction ; however, they were doomed to disappointment, a s th e indictment charging the lady with felony was not presented before the grand jury, owing to the absence of a material witness. In the early part of the day the Judge inquired if the pro secutor, Mr. Allum, was present? Being answered in the affirmative, he ordered him to be called into Court. Upon making his appearance, the Judge asked him if he had en gaged counsel? He said he had engaged Mr. Ballantine. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Court, and said it was impossible, as he had been retained for the defence three days ago. The JUDGE (to the prosecutor)—You had better get to gether your witnesses, as the bill caneot be presented until all the witnesses are present. The prosecutor then left the Court, for the purpose of collecting the witnesses, but so soon as he had left, his police man, who is also a witness, went in search of the prosecu tor, and so on throughout the entire day, one going in search of another, until at last there was not one witness to be found with the exception of the policeman. At eight o'clock the grand jury entered the Court with the last bill found. The JUDGE remarked that it was an extraordinarycircum stance that the witnesses in Miss Osborn's case were not forthcoming. _ _ _ An officer of the Court said there had been one in Court a short time since, but he was half drunk. He went away again, and said he was going to look for some other witnesses. The JUDGE—It is an extraordinary 'proceeding. Let the whole of their recognisances be estreated, with the exception of the policeman ; and the prosecutor can, if he likes, press the indictment at the next session. FEBRUARY 26. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) A most respectable-looking tradesman, named Edward Jones, was indicted for stealing three valuable snuff-boxes, the property of John Ward. The prisoner, who pleaded `not guilty in the first instance, denied in the most solemn man ner that he had any felonious intention when he took the pro perty. However, at the suggestion of Mr. Ballantine, who appeared as his counsel, he retracted his original plea, and pleaded guilty. A host of most respectable persons, many of whom deposed to having known the prisoner for upwards of twenty years, gave him the highest character for respectabi • lity aid honesty. The Learned ASSISTANT -JUDGE expressed his regret that such a person as the prisoner should be placed in so disgrace ful a situation, and sentenced him to six weeks' imprison ment, with hard labour. William Johnson, a powerful-looking young fellow, was indicted for stealing a quantity of tools, the property of George Barnes and others. It appeared by the evidence that the prosecutors were en gaged on some of the new houses erecting in Kensington, and when leaving, on Saturday night, locked up their tools, and the same night the prisoner broke open the doors, and took the property. The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said this was a most heart less robbery, inasmuch as it tended to prevent industrious men from earning their living, and he was determined to punish it severely. The sentence of the Court was, that the prisoner be imprisoned for six calendar months in the House of Correction, and be kept to hard labour. Thomas Ricketts was indicted for stealing a number of books, the property of George Willis. The prosecutor is the extensive bookseller and publisher under the Piazza at the corner of James•street, Covent-garden. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to three months' im prisonment with hard labour. THE MURDER AT HAMPSTEAD. APPREHENSION AND EXAMINATION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Yesterday a person named Thomas Hocker, residing at 11, Victoria-terrace, Portland Town, was examined before the Magistrate, at MaryleLore Police-Court, charged on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Delarue, of Whittlebury-street, Euston-square. The pri soner, a well-dressed, tall, thin young man, of the same profession, and an intimate acquaintance of the mur dered man, appeared quite unconcerned, and evidently paid the utmost attention to the statements of the various witnesses. The evidence of Edward llilton, baker, was first taken, and was a simple recapitulation of what has already ap peared before the Coroner. He heard the cries of murder, and on going to the place from whence the cries proceeded, h e and others found the body of the deceased. The surgeon, Mr. Perry, of Hampstead, detailed the re sult of the post mortem examination, which only established the fact that deceased had met his death from blows on the head, inflicted by a blunt instrument. Sarah Kitchener—Lived at 55, Whit tlebury-street, Euston square. Deceased lived there. Saw him last on Friday. He told me to keep a fire in, as he would return in an hour and a half. I have seen the body, and know it to be Delarue. James Kitchener—Brother to last witness, and landlord of the house in which deceased resided. His evidence went to confirm his sister's. He knew that deceased had a watch, but never saw it. He had not observed many acquaintances call upon the deceased, and never heard of any one having a spite against him. I have never seen the prisoner at the bar. Edward Scoltnev,* 21 T division, residing at Chiswick— Between seven and eight on Tuesday evening, received information that Thomas llocker (the prisoner), was an ac quaintance of the deceased, and that on Saturday night be was seen with a great deal of money. I went with the in spector and sergeant to his house, No. 11, Victoria .place, Portland-town. About one o'clock that morning we went first to the residence of prisoner's father, but I returned to his own lodgings, and when I knocked, he got up to answer. He came down in his shirt and trousers. I asked if he was Thomas Hocker, and he said lie was Thomas Hocker. I said, you are my prisoner, and told bins I was a sergeant of police, and was taking him into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Delarue. I then asked bins to show me his apartments. Mr. RAwrissox—Did he answer nothing when taken into custody ? Witness—He said he knew Delarue. I asked him to show his apartments, and he said, "Follow me ;" and I then searched his apartments. His brother was in bed in the room to which lie took me, on the second floor, and the prisoner told him to get out of bed and dress himself. During the time I was searching, his brother said, " Tom, tell the policeman all you know about it." The prisoner then went to the bed-side, took the watch from under the pillow, and said, " That was Delarue's • he gave it to me last Friday morning, about ten o'clock, to sell it for him." We then came down stairs, and I got some duplicates referring to other property, which the pri soner said belonged to Delarue. (The property con sisted of rings,watch-guard, &c.) After going to where I had left Inspector Partridge, and telling him what had occurred, we returned to the prisoner's lodgings to re new the search. He said lie had only some letters from different females, but he did not couple the deceased's name with them. The prisoner was then taken to the llampstead station. Inspector Partridge produced a bundle of letters. The last witness gave bins the information alluded to. He went to the prisoner's father's house, at 17, Charles-street, where he expected some important information, but in that he failed, and fearing that some alarm might be given to the pri soner, he (the inspector) sent Scoltney alone to his lodgings. When he saw the prisoner, he informed him of the charge against him. Went up into the prisoner's room, and found some old clothes and sacking under the bed, and also above it. In a table drawer found papers and other documents. There were 76 of them, apparently written by a young lady, and all in the same handwriting. On the mantel-shelf found half-a-sovereign and a shilling. He said he had more money, and supposed he dropped a sovereign on the bed. He was then taken to the station-house. Ile should be able to prove that lie had made several purchases of clothing on Saturday. Inspector Shackell, of the detective force, received informa tion of the murder on Saturday, and on the Sunday after examined the place where the murder was committed. Pro ceeded to deceased's lodgings, and found a number of obscene prints, and, among bills of account, found one from a watch maker for the very watch produced in Court that day. This watch was seen in the deceased's possession on Friday, at two o'clock. Mr. RAWLINSON—Who proves that ?—The girl, Sir. Sarah Kitchener was re-called—She saw his watch on Friday at dinner time. Did not know the watch, but the chain resembled the one he wore. Mr. Delarue got up at a little after nine on Friday morning, and he remained at home for about half an hour. lie breakfasted almost as soon as he got up. The brother of the deceased said the watch was the one lie wore till the Sunday previous, but the guard was not the same. Deceased's was a solid gold one, and that was only coloured. Mr. RAWLINSON asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything. The prisoner said that he could bring witnesses to prove that he did not leave his home till a quarter or ten minutes to eight on Friday night. That was all he wished to say that day. Mr. RAWLINSON--I shall feel it my duty to remand you till Tuesday next; and if in the meantime you are required to appear before the Coroner you will have to go before him. The prisoner was then removed. Considerable sensation was created at Hampstead on Tues day by the arrival of a mounted messenger in th e ear l y part of the day, who inquired for Bynell, the postman, for the purpose, it was understood, of accompanying him to town in order to identify a man, said to be in custody, answering the description of one of th e th ree men w h o bad accosted him on the night of the murder of Mr. Delarue, and wished him to buy a razor hone. The circumstance which led to the above-mentioned oc currence, and which induced a general belief that the cap ture of at least one of the murderers had been effected, was as follows :—Shortly before twelve o'clock on Monday night Inspector Martin, of the City police, received information at the station-house in Smithfield, that there was a man in a state of intoxication at the bar of the Cross Keys, in St. John-street, who was exhibiting hones for sale, and who, in other respects, resembled the description given of one of the supposed murderers. He instantly dispatched some of his men to that place, and the man in question was taken into custody, and at once conveyed to the station, where he was detained till evidence was prccured from Hampstead. Suf fice it to say, that he was not identified as one of the party alluded to, and his whereabout having been accurately as certained, he was permitted to depart. It appears that Mr. Hilton, baker, who first heard the cries of murder whilst on Haverstock-terrace, was greatly mis taken in the statement he made before the jury, that the place where the body was found was distant half a mile from where he stood when those cries reached him. The ground has been accurately measured, and the distance of the spot where the body was found from Haverstock-tcrrace is 460 vards, whilst the exact distance of the place from the Swiss Cottage is 640 yards. Upon a minute examination of the marks of blood alluded to at the inquest, found upon the second rail of the stile near which the body was discovered, it appears that the marks are those of the fingers of a man's left hand. When Mr. Defame was found he had his glove on his left band, but no marks of blood were visible upon it. Those persons who have alreacAr been announced as coming , forward-to p'rbVirifirat — fitzt eneWittiiid three men answering` the description of the supposed murderers are not the only ones who were stopped in the vicinity of Hampstead on the night of Friday last. On Tuesday afternoon a gentleman on horseback went to the Yorkshire Grey, and informed Mr. Neal, the landlord, that he had been stopped, and had had money demanded of him by three men in the Fiuchley-road on the evening of Friday last. The name of this gentleman, who is a medical man, and who left his card with Mr. Neal, stating that he should be ready to give evidence upon the point, is Mr. Creforpe, of No. 5, Henry-street, Avenue road. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 15i per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id, per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 5 54 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.82 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.175. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9f; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 111, it follows that gold is 1.02 per cent. dear* r in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. POST-OFFICE ESPIONAGE. A charge has been brought against the Government of this country, which most materially affects not only the character of this or that Minister, but our national good faith, and the sanctity of that hospitable proteetion which Great Britain gives, without distinction of parties, to the proscribed an the unfortunate from all parts of the world. Mr. Milnes and Sir Charles Napier, therefore, anticipated the public feeling throughout England, and we may add, Europe, by asking Sir Robert Peel for an explanation of the part which the British Ministers had taken last spring between the Italian Governments and the refugees who were sup posed to be meditating a descent on the coast of Cala bria or the Papal States ; and Sir R. Peel treated the questions with the marked attention they undoubt edly required. It is revolting to suppose that, whilst the English Ministers were engaged in a cor respondence with the Austrian and Italian Cabinets, for the purpose of transmitting secret information of the intentions of conspirators residing in the Bri tish dominions, those persons received, no warning of the dangerous position in which they• stood, and were even lured on by a perfidious encaniragement to embark in an expedition which could only lead to their certain destruction. But it • requires no profound knowledge of the secret communications which may have taken place between the Govern ments of Europe, to demonstrate that the persons about to engage in these deplorable attempts were perfectly informed of their position ; they knew that their projects were disclosed to all the Powers interested in the prevention of them, and they were aware that th e Austrian troops in Northern Italy were ready at a mo ment's notice to cross the Po, and march even to Naples. These facts were notorious to the whole world many months before the expedition from Corfu sailed, for they appeared more than once in the most prominent part of our own columns. No sooner had these particulars come to our knowledge, by a communication from the Conti nent, than we acted on the conviction that one of the fairest and most effectual means of preventing the threatened explosion in Italy, without compromising its authors, was to publish an outline of their scheme, of their resources, and of the all-powerful resistance which awaited them in the shape of an immediate intervention on the part of Austria. These pis jects had long been agitated by the Italian Republicans in London, Paris, and other places ; and as early as the autumn of 1843 the Austrian Government, being fully aware of them, was prepared to act on the emergency which was expected to occur. On the 17th of October, 1843, we stated that we were led to suppose, by information which had reached us from Vienna, that a detachment of 4,000 Austrian troops had ere then entered the Papal terri tories ; and that the A us t r i an an d Pi e d montese Govern ments had resolved to intervene in support of the Papal authority against the revolutionary movements of the Republican party. The movement was, however, post poned, and, of course, no intervention took place. But on the lit of April, 1844, we recurred to the sub ject, observing, that the accounts we had before published were premature, but not unfounded ; that lively apprehensions were entertained in the minor states of Italy; and that "in the foreign countries to which the political refugees have been driven by former revolutions, as welt as in those more contiguous positions—such as Malta and Corsica—to which they have access, the greatest activity had for some time past prevailed amongst the disaffected." We added a great number of details as to the extent and objects of the projected insurrection ; and we observed, that " the fact that such a scheme should be made public, and that it should have been known for some time past to the Cabinets most interested in the result, with a va riety of names and details which we abstain from giving, will perhaps interfere with the execution of the conspiracy, but we have before us certain evi dences of its existence. Such an undertaking would infallibly fail, but it would not fail without bloodshed ; and we should hereafter be called upon for our compassion to victims, to whom, if they were successful, we must deny our respect." We have great reason to believe that this public disclosure of the scheme did powerfully contribute to deter the Italian refugees from proceeding with it. Certain it is, that a plot which at one time had asso ciates all over Italy, considerable fends, and a force suffi ciently powerful to contemplate an armed invasion from the adjacent islands, was silently abandoned, and that the warning given by this means, and by private communica tions from the Italian refugees in England, was all but completely effectual. The only exception was the ex pedition of 22 unarmed men, who started from Corfu on the 12th of June, and soon afterwards landed in Calabria, where they met a f a t e w hi c h we cor di a ll y d e plore, and the more so as the slightest prudence or ob servation of what was passing amongst their own friends and in Europe would have preserved them from it. They must have known that the general insurrection in which they were to have taken a part was abandoned— but they persevered. The measures by which the wholesale misery and bloodshed of fresh disturbances in Italy had been avoided were lost upon them. They persisted, and they perished. We sincerely lament their infatuation and their miserable end ; but, in justice to all the parties to these transactions, it is fair to re member that the measures of prevention were successful, except with regard to those 22 persons, and that the great service rendered to the peace of Italy and of Europe im measurably exceeds in importance this minor incident, which was unfortunately not foreseen and therefore, could not be prevented. These facts had been ascertained by various means of far greater practical utility than ot the odious practice of op e nin g l e tters ; and we do n here that all M. Mazzini's correspondence could e ll e a y s , e added much to what was communicated even to ourss 3tyo n of by our own correspondents. It wa the possibility of doubt, and without s ishesta t b h i ene c e l e i s 3 s e i andbre akig a single n that this conspiracy existed, that the members seal, bersof it were preparing to re-enter Italy from Corsica Malta, and the lonian isles. Effec tual preparations were made to suppress it. In thos,s preparations the Government of this country, both at home and in our dependencies in the Mediterranean, was bound to join by the duty we owe to our allies and to the tranquillity of the world. The hosp'tality and protection afforded by the British flag are violated by the men who convert an asylum of refuge into a position of attack. We give to these po litical fugitives security from their enemies ; but, if we allow this security to be made a cover for revolutionary intrigues in foreign countries, we not only compromise our neutrality in these civil contests, but we passively assist the very cause we disapprove. Upon these and all si milar cases, we adhere to the opinion we very decidedly expressed upon the visit of the Duke of Bordeaux to this country, when that visit was converted into a politi• cal demonstration against the Court of France. It is very much to be lamented that Lord Seaton had not sufficient information to justify him in stopping the fishing -boats before they sailed from Corfu ; but when they had sailed, he had no legal power to send the Medea to pursue them on the high seas, and beyond . IRELAND. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. Duni" FEB. 24.—The usual weekly meeting of the As sociation was held this day. R. A. FITZGERALD, the newly- ekcted Member for Tippe rary, was in the chair, and addressed the meeting. at some length. Mr. D. BItOWNE, having handed in a sum of money from Liverpool, proceeded to address the meeting Ile observed that strictures had been passed upon the conduct of the Irish Members for absenting themselves from their Parlitimentaty duties in another place ; but he would tell the gentlemen by whom those observations were made that the repeal Mem bers were equally well entitled to the exercise of a free °O rion as they. The repeal Members attended the Concilia tion-hall, in the discharge of a conscientious, duty —a duty unrewarded and unrequited, save by the approval of their consciences and the approbation of their fellow-countrvmen. .They were abused by the Irish. Whigs, represented by Mr. Bellew—by the English Radicals, represented by Mr. Wak ley ; and by all that was ill-understood, and ill-contrived in every party, by Mr. Roebuck.—(Cheers.) That gentleman represented nothing that was generous or noble, but all that was peevish, cranky, and petulant.—(Hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then commented in severe terms on the speech of Mr. Roebuck, and dwelt particularly on the connexion between him and Papineau, the Canadian insurgent. Mr. O'CoNNELL moved a petition to Parliament praying for a removal of restrictions on the regular orders of the clergy. They were the advocates of liberty of conscience to all, and his present motion was in accordance with that glorious principle which would afford protection to the Pro testant in Spain and the Christian in Constantinople.-- (Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman eulogised the monastic order as the friends of government, of litera ture, and religion. lie called on the meeting to assist-him in abolishing these penal enactments, and he believed he -might state that on this subject ha had the cordial support of the Association, Protestant as well as Catholic.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. DAvis, barrister, as an Irishman and a Protestant, seconded the motion. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN supported it. Mr. GRATTAN addressed the meeting in favour of the mo tion. He took a review of English misgovernment in Ire land, and maintained th a t h e an d all the Hon. Members that wished well to Ireland should remain at home and do their duty in the Conciliation-hall. LAND COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. Mr. O'CONNELL condemned the Land Commissioners' re port. He described it as the most exquisite piece of insipidity that ever proceeded from public men. It was what Cobbett called " cat - lap" — (Laughter)—stuff, unfit for the consideration of great men, and only fit for the imbecility of childhood. While that document was worthless, as far as the remedial measures suggested were concerned, it was valuable to this extent, that it exhibited the state of the Irish people as far inferior to anything that could previously be credited in England. This state, he contended, was the consequence of the Union. Previous to that baneful measure, in 1784, when Arthur Young was in Ireland, the cottages of the peasantry swarmed with poultry, and all had pigs, and many had cows. The labourers then had Is. and Is. 4d. a day-- now sevenpence was considered good wages. There was then plenty of labour for the industrious ; and my friends (said he) we will soon have plenty again.—(Cheers.) He hoped his words would be taken down, and that they would go to England to be read by the Roebucks and the other miserable plunderers cf this country.—(Cheers.) He could not endure these landed Commissioners. Shak speare described a perfumed nobleman coming to the field of battle when it was over : it was thus with these landed Commissioners—these essenced and perfumed civets talk of relief in lady-like terms ;he could bear them had they spoken out manly, and said that they had no remedy fOr these miseries, but that the people should look to themselves-- (Cheers)—but they had not done so.---(Hear, hear.) They had showed their grievances were unendurable, and that the Irish people were the most patient on the face of the earth. And what did they propose? Oh ! he could not express his contempt sufficiently for the cat-l a p C omm i ss i on. —(Ch eers , ) Yes, the people of Ireland were enduring, and they would endure, for as long as he lived not a single drop of blood should be shed. But the time of his life Ntas drawing to a close. He was now at the age when human existence de pended upon casualties, and when he was in his cold grave he should say, England don't dare to continue these injuries on Ireland.—(Tremendoui cheering.) Well, and what do you think that that little insignificant Roebuck says, that as the Irish Members are unable to fight them in the Souse of Com mons we shan't get any man to make us so. He says that we are insignificant. Oh, w h o i s h e to say so ? V. not his son John there? and is he "insignificant ?" Was not Henry Grattan there ? Was not Edmund Burke Roche there ? And was not William Smith O'Brien there ? What was insignificant about his friend Mr. O'Brien ? Was it his talent or his ancestry—his independence of spirit or of principle ? Oh, Mr. Roebuck, it is you that is insignificant, and you who are unsavoury.— (Cheers and laughter.) This, said he, is the report of the Land Commissioners, and in the face of it Mr. Roebuck dared to propose the extension of the income-tax to Ireland. None but a plunderer and a robber dared to propose such an impost after such a report. The Hon. Gentleman then im plored of the people to preserve tranquillity—to abstain from crime —and, above all, from illegal societies ; and having recommended the adoption of a peaceable combination by which he had carried Catholic Emancipation, he moved that it be referred to the Parliamentary Committe. to in quire into the facts and representations contained in the Land Commissioners' report. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL expressed his gratitude to Mr. Sheil and Sir Winston Barron for their manly defence of the Irish Members in the late debate on Mr. Roebuck's motion, and regretted that it would be inconsistent with their pro fe sions of not identifying themselves with the proceedings in Parliament, to propose a vote of thanks to those gentlemen. At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. O'Connell an nounced the rent for the week to be 366/. The meeting then adjourned. METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENTS.—Tuesday the Corn missioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests issued their plans, for letting on building leases various plots of ground on the line of the new street, which will communicate be tween Oxford-street and Holborn, and which is to be called " Oxford-street," the length of street being about 1,200 ft., and the width about 60ft. There are thirty-five lots, the frontage of each varying from 22ft. bin. to 125 ft. 9in. The fronts of the houses towards Oxford-street " are to be enriched architectural elevations, faced with such materials as the Commissioners may approve," and " no objection will be made to buildings of the architecture known as Elizabethan." " The carcase of each house is to be built by or before Christ mas-day, 1845, and the houses and all other buildings on all the lots, are to be completely finished and rendered fit for habitation by or before Midsummer-day, 1846, under penalty in each case resp ec ti ve l y o f t h e f orfeiture of the lease." The Cound excavated for the b asemen t stor i es, i f required by the ommissioners, is to be deposited to fill up the loose ground around the Milbank Prison. No tenant is to carry on the business of publican, tripe-boiler, slaughterman, soap-boiler, tallow-melter, blacksmith, farrier, chimney-sweeper, or any noxious, noisy, or offensive trade, without the consent of the Commissioners. The lessee is to reimburse the Commis sioners the expenses incurred by them for building the vault and sewers, and for paving the street, or to pay in lieu thereof an annual rent, at the rate of 60/. for 27ft., or 3!. per annum. The houses are to be erected subject to the inspection of the architect of the Commissioners, and no change of the archi tectural decorations is to be granted without the consent of the Commissioners. ACCIDENT LN THE POOL.—OH Tuesday a brig moored a short distance from the Lower Tunnel-pier, Wap wing, broke from her moorings, and was carried by a strong flood tide athwart hawse of the outer barges of the pier, which is supposed to extend 230 feet into the river, and car ried them away with the people upon them, who were thrown into a state of considerable alarm when they found them selves adrift. The brig and the barges of the pier were car ried a considerable distance, and ran foul of other vessels, which let go their anchors or released themselves from their moor ings, and a scene of indescribable confusion took place. The Upper Tunnel-pier belonging to the watennen, and adjoining Execution-dock, and which extends 160 feet into the river, escaped altogether, the brig and other vessels passing within a few yards of the outer " dummy." Several collisions task place, and some time elapsed before the vessels could be sepa rated from each other. The brig which first got adrift was towed back to her original berth by a steam-tug, and the barges of the Lower Tunnel-pier, which is a great impediment to the navigation in the Pool, drifted as far as the Tower. and were brought back by the owners of this landing-place, which, to the surprise of many, has been so long permitted in a busy part of the river. THE CROOME POACHING AFFRAY.—On Saturday last the seven men who have already several times under gone private examination before the Worcestershire - magis trates, charged with being concerned in the murder of Thomas Staite, the gamekeeper who was killed at Croons° on the 19th of December last, in the course of an affray be tween the keeper and a band of armed poachers to the number of twenty, or thereabouts, were again examined at the Worcester county gaol before three of the magistrates of that county.

It will be rec o ll ected that it was stated that William Cosnett, who had been Y 'w: n ith S ti lt n e h e charged with the above prisoners, had, after undergoing an the other o th t h a e t r timep further revelations having been made with regard to his examination, been released from custody. share in this dreadful outrage, he has again been taken int o scounsetorsd.y, The N r v e h n o la le n d p e a d rt f y or re e s x id a e mi a n t a , ti a o n n d neighbour hood of, Pershore, a town about ten miles from Worcester, and situate a short distance from the Croome preserves. They are all well known to have been long connected to g ether in poaching trans ac ti ons, many of them are respectably con. nected, and they are strongly suspected of having been concerned in other outrages • which took place in the county about the time o f th e fatal Croome affray. _ There are now (including Joseph T urvey and Francis Dtrlgley, committed under the Coroner's warrant, on the 6th "of January, for the murder of Staite) eleven prisoners in the county gaol of Worcester charged with being implicated in this fatal affr_ t ay. GENERAL S TEAM N AVIGATION COMP ANY.—The usual half -yearly meeting of the General Steam Navigation Company took place on Tuesday, at the office of this Corpora tion, 69 , 1 ombard-street. There was a numerous assemblage of proprietors. The chair was taken by John Wilkin, Esq. A report from the Directors, and the accounts for the year, ending the 31st December last, were read. From these it appeared the transactions of the Company had been followed by increased prosperity, and that the general condition of this Corporation's affairs was highly satisfactory. The cut tomary dividend and bonus being declared, thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors for their continued exertions to promote the interests of the Company, when the meeting separated. ROBBERY AT KEW CHITECIL—On Sunday morn ing last, Kew Church (which stands in the centre of Kew green) was entered by some thieves, who carried away a box which contained the parish registers , and a book, in which was entered a list of charitable bequests belonging to the parish. Tile object of the robbers was probably the communion plate; but that is in safer keeping. There is at present no clue to the offenders. The police, however, are duly on th alert. ~_
