The intelligence brought by the Overland Mail from India and China is altogether very favourable. Ninth the exception of a slight insurrection in the Mahratta country, and the capture of the fort of Samunghur by the British troops, the utmost tran- quillity prevails. Accounts from Sinde describe that newly acquired district as increasing every day in prosperity, and to such a degree, that the calumnia tors of Lord ELLEN BOROUGH and Sir CHARLES NAPIRk are dumb on the subject. The revenue was increasing, and more money had been collected under the mild and legitimate autho rity of the gallant General than had been obtained by the extortions and violence of the Ameer:;. Kurrachee, u town situate towards the mouth of the Indus, was daily rising in importance ; substantial buildings were springing up in all direc tions, water was abundant, and the climate healthy. The people of India, and especially the inhabitants of Bombay, were beginning► to see the vast importance of opening the Indus for trade, and the advantages which the occupation of Sinde would confer on the extensive territories along its banks. We never from the beginning hurl any doubt on the sub ject —ne defended almost alone the policy of the Indian Government, and did justice to the wise plans and the daring manceuvres of the gallant NAPIER; and it is therefore gratifying to find that the result has been such a 3 to convince even the most obstinate that the annexation of Sinde to the British possessions constitutes one of the most glorious and beneficial events of the present day. We rejoice to hear that Sir CHARLES NAPIER enjoyed good health, and was about to visit some of the more dis• tant portions of the country placed under his autho•• rity. From every account his wise measures, for preserving peace and securing good government, ex cited equal admiration with his warlike exploits. The Post of this morning, in an article suggested by a meeting of the Somersetshire Agricultural Society which took place last week at Wincanton, speak s out in a frank, manly strain respecting the present position of the Anti-Corn-law League, and the degre e of moral influence which it exercises over the public mind. The majority of the journals which espouse the cause of monopoly still continue to re present this great national confed(tra.ey as in a de clining state. According- to their statements it has lost the strong hold which it had over the popular jaini.l a year or two since, wit, 11 the distresses of the country and the general discontent which they occa sioned conspired to favour its progress; with an im• proved condition of things have come an improved spirit —a more collected and sagacious judgment on ,the part of the people ; and the League is now suffering from this altered tone of the public mind, and at no distant period it will be numbered among the " things that once were:9 So say the journals that are favourable to monopoly ; and the RICLIMONDS 7 the BUCKINGHAMS, the BANKESES, and all who think with them, make a point of echo ing the sentiment. But the Post—to its credit be it mentioned—is too frank, too manly, too intelligent to adopt this false, one-sided view of the case. Though an uncompromising enemy of the Anti-Corn-law League and of every single principle, without ex ception, which it advocates, our Contemporary is not guilty of the foolish error of underrating its influ ence, but blurts out the strict truth, careless whom it may offend. We wish the Post were always as explicit and intelligible in its opinions as it is in the significant passage which we shall presently sub join. But there is too often a vagueness a haziness—an incoherency in its political views which for the life of us we cannot understand. To-day it is Young England—to-morrow it is Old England after the fashion of Lord ELDON. Now, it advocates a standstill system of policy with a dogged inveteracy of purpose that would have endeared it to the heart of a SIDINIOUTH or a CASTLEREAGH; and now, it is all for stir and movement in the Church as well as in the State. One moment it startles us by a bold theory or suggestion that breathes the true spirit of Reform in ' its most enlightened and comprehensive sense ; the next, it is a bigoted admirer of the " wisdom of our ancestors," and scouts the bare idea of every innovation, no matter how slight, that should hays a tendency to bring that wisdom into disrepute. Our Contemporary is too sagacious to be a confirmed ribbon Tory, and he is too honest to be a decided Conservative. What then is he ? To what party does he adhere ? Who is his " Magnus Apollo" in statesmanship? We cannot answer these questions, and we now put them respectfully to him, in the hope that he will vouchsafe to enlighten our ignorance. But now for the signi ficant passage to which we have alluded, and which we quote from his columns of this morning. After expressing his satisfaction that the country people in Sotnersetshire have not been misled by the erroneous statements in the Ministerial journals respecting the actual condition of the Anti-Corn-law League, which journals have given out that nothing more need be feared from it, inasmuch as it is effectually crushed, our Contemporary goes on to observe :- 1 " They assume this fact, and endeavour to lead their readers to the inference that the policy of the Govern ment has been so able as to have led to that result, not Nithstanding all the money which the League has collected, and all the efforts which it has made. This is altogether erroneous. The Government has not quenched the revolutionary mischief of the League. The League still relies on compelling the Minister to carry out by practical measures that principle con cerning buying in the cheapest markets and selling in the dearest, which he has declared to be in the abs!ract a sound and just principle." This direct ac knowledgement of the vitality and influence of the Anti-Corn-law League will be anything but ac ceptable to the monopolist readers of the Post. Mr. limas, however, one of the Members for Somer setshire, who is strongly opposed to the views of this confederacy, holds pretty nearly the same opinions as our Contemporary, and warns his constituents not to put the slightest faith in the statements that the League is crushed. We agree with these two com petent authorities that the League is not crushed and is not likely to be crushed ; and we will go further and add, that it will gradually increase in influence, day by day enlarging the sphere of its operations, until the great principles of which it is the exponent and representative are fully carried out into practice. The remains of her late Royal Highness the Princess SOPHIA MATILDA will be interred in the family vault in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor, on the evening of Tuesday, the 10th instant; and, in compliance with the wishes of her late Royal Highness, the ceremony of lying in state will be dispensed with and the funeral will be conducted with as much pri vacy as is consistent with the rank of her late Royal Highness. The intelligence which continues to reach us from two European countries now sunk in the depths of political turpitude and degradation, though they suc ceeded to an inheritance of historic recollections more glorious than can be boasted by almost any other two in the family of nations this intelligence is calculated to excite in British bosoms the liveliest emotions of indignation, contempt, and pity. But the great social lesson which it teaches is one of such infinite moment to the welfare and prosperity of other States, who, thanks to a long enjoyment of happier institutions, and to the salutary influence of these upon their people, still preserve the noble pre eminence they have attained, that we cannot do wrong in endeavouring to impress upon our readers its singular force and application to a community nearer home. Of all the nations of antiquity, Greece may justly claim to have transmitted to posterity the most precious inheritance. In the divinest exercises of pure intellect—philosophy, poetry, and metaphysics, in logic and history—she has bequeathed exemplars of such matchless excellence as to have served, through the lapse of more than two thousand years, for the models, hitherto unrivalled, of our reverential admiration—as the guides, whom it has not yet been permitted us to overtake, of our most ennobling studies. If it be the just and gratifying pride of modern times to have far surpassed our great in structress in the physical sciences, and the arts of civil economy—to have measured the whole visible field of infinite space, divined the laws and ascer tained the ellipses of planetary motion—to have cal- culated the most eccentric orbits of the most remote comets discernible from our own system, and to have proved and established the revolutions of the satellites that revolve around other solar centres, we must ac knowledge our obligations to Greece for those ele ments of political government under which, alone, that ancient civilisation could have been attained by her from whence we derive, at this day, the benefit of her profound principles of domestic polity, and the guarantees provided by them for the maintenance of individual rights and public liberty. This is not the place to speak of those all but miraculous embodi ments of Grecian genius, in which the Hellenic mind almost thinks and speaks and acts to us, in marble and in bronze ; but the refining and exalting influences which these productions of a sublime antiquity still exert upon our intellectual develop ment, must never be forgotten in any estimate of the debt of gratitude which the Europe of our days owes to the Greece of classical antiquity—its generous rebublics, and their more renowned citizens. Let us turn to another nation. If old Greece handed down to us the theory, Gothic Spain re-established and vindicated to us the practice, of free institutions. When other European communities were humbled in the dust beneath the incessant aggressions of feudal tyranny--now vexed by the despotic cruelty of their sovereign princes, now tormented still more grievously by the insatiable rapacity of the still more powerful nobles, the people of Spain, with indomitable per severance, contended for, and exacted from successive rulers, large and ample popular privileges. Through.. out the different kingdoms between which their noble country was divided, the same bold and independent spirit asserted itself; now successful in forcing the establishment of deliberate assemblies in their Cones and their Municipal Councils, now wringing from the reluctant heads of hereditary oppressors the fueros of the maritime provinces. To Gothic Spain must still be ascribed the solid glory of having success fully devoted herself to become the bulwark of Christianity in Southern Europe, and of having, on repeated occasions, turned back the invading tide of French ambition and aggressiveness. The discoverer and planter of a new world, however, can want no other blazonry to distinguish her "escutcheon of pre tence" among the trophies achieved by the national chivalry of Europe. What is the present condition of these States, so illustrious by their past associations ? A condition of social misery, of civil degradation, of political perfidy, of civic treachery, of royal duplicity, of Ministerial profligacy, of arrogant favouritism, of hopeless corruption in high places, of venal faithless ness in low ones, of successful faction, of defeated patriotism, of triumphant intrigue, of pro- , scribed integrity, of a wealthy few, and a pauper people ;—of unprincipled chiefs and tur bulent followers, under whose disorganising quarrels and rapacity agriculture decays, trade languishes, confidence expires, and love of country sleeps the sleep of death. These are conditions common to the pre sent aspect of both Spain and Greece. Oruo is faith less to his constitutional oath ; ISABELLA tramples under foot, at the instigation of CHRISTINA, the con stitution which both have, over and again, solemnly sworn to uphold. ISABELLA and 01110 receive into their respective councils, protection, and favour, the avowed enemies of the liberties of the coun tries they severally govern. The men who have laboured, and fought, and bled to uphold those liberties, they hand over as meet sacrifices to the bloodthirsty hatred of the adventurers who have assassi nated freedom, and set up in its stead a ghastly idol of tyranny attired in some of her habiliments. Is there, then, it may be asked, no people to interfere, either in Spain or in Greece, i❑ order to vindicate their own rights, to reconstruct their own privileges, to pre scribe their own form of government, to control the delinquencies of those who govern ? If the aristocracy of the former, or the chiefs of the latter, still lack the energy or the means to right themselves and the laws, are there no true men, of the humbler classes, to inter pose and arrest the downfal of their tottering States ? Alas ! the long prescription of defective customs, or abused institutions, has so utterly atased, and so enfeebled these humbler, though far more numerou., sections of the people, that they can accomplish nothing of themselves, although they groan and writhe under the bitterness of their bondage, the shame of their degradation. Then why not make common cause (it may be asked) with their lords or their leaders, their chiefs or their nobles? Shall we venture to answer for them ? Because nobles and chiefs leaders and lords, have NOT made honest cause with them. Because wealth has been willing to see them sa crificed to the treason or cabal of the day, provided only it could secure and retain its own possessions. Because rank and power have abandoned the natural and legi timate claimants on their protection, in their own hour of aggrandisement and security, in order to secure their own slippery footing in the halls of capri cious despotism, and to rivet still more tightly on their own serfs or dupes the chains which their supe rior tyrant has permitted them to forge for that pur pose. What wonder, then, that the compatriots of ElaamoDius or of PELAGIO, born and nurtured as it were in the long descended hatred of royal oppression and foreign authority; should look on with apathy at the unbridled career of desolation and infamy which both the one and the other are spreading headlong over Spain and Greece in these their unhappy times ? But there are yet other and greater States, still un cursed by foreign influence, still uninsulted and unpro voked by any movement of royalty towards despotism, enjoying a general condition of extreme prosperity, with certain modifications of extreme poverty and misery —abundant in their free institutions, and enjoying the free working of them—there are yet States of the first rank and most signal power which exhibit some fearful symptoms of internal derangement and dis eased action, manifesting themselves in the same ex tremities—namely, the lower orders. Let them learn, betimes, the memorable truth which the close proxi mity of excessive opulence and abject destitution ; vast accumulations of capital and every phase of poverty ; horrible want and magnificent profusion— ought never to proclaim in vain. The few, in order to uphold even the most perfect and favourable of human institutions, must depend on the many; and since the many can have no common interest with the few in supporting establishments under which they derive no fair proportion of common advantage, property must come to the aid of poverty. The unequal distribution of wealth is an incident which cannot be prevented ; but the pressure upon those whose portion of it is absolutely, or but next to, privation, may be relieved by property's placing a ge nerous and enlarged construction upon its own duties. Let us secure the alliance of those who want not only present relief, but timely confidence and encourage ment. There are political and social, as well as moral benefits, of the most invaluable kind, to be secured by the upper and middling classes who shall thus avert the chances of such estrangement of the lower from the higher orders, which now leaves Athens and Attica a prey to Bavarian bad faith and mismanage ment—and humbles the pride of the Castilles and the pomp of Madrid beneath the base intrigues of CHRISTINA and her minions, or the arrogant brutality of such an adventurer as NARVAEZ. The Madrid journals of the 26th contain no news. The fate of the son and brother-in•law of ZURBANO was not known in the capital on that day, but it was generally believed that orders had been lent for their execution. The Clamor Publico states that orders had also been sent to Cadix for the execution of General ARNOZ. AIADRID BOURSE, Nov. 26.—Three per Cents., for cash, 31 9-16 ; for account, 34. Fiye per Cents., for cash, 23f ; for account, 21. No official intelligence had reached Paris on Mon day of the execution of young • ZIINBANO and his uncle at Logrono, but nearly all the journals regard it as a matter beyond doubt, and justly comment with severity on the atrocious policy of the Spanish Go vernment. Even the Ministerial Journal des Debats is obliged to chime in with the general cry of indig nation, and would willingly keep out of view the fact that the parties who are now committing such cruel ties in Spain are the creatures of the French Court and Cabinet, and were established in power, if not by French gold, at all events by French intrigue. Of this no impartial observer can entertain a reasonable doubt, and the Government and the Government press of France must come in for a share of the odium ex cited by the despotic and cruel conduct of NARYAEZ. That journal now seems disposed to cast him off, and even denies that it had ever supported the party. " Certainly," it says, " we had no great confidence in the Government of Spain, but we were far from ex pecting such enormities, even from a Cabinet directed by NARYAEZ. Are those the men who denounced as a crime the execution of the unfortunate DieGo Lnorf, who were to open to their country a new era of reconciliation and peace, and who designed to en large the field of political discussion ? Now, more than eirer, we congratulate ourselves on having re fused all adhesion to the acts of this soldier-Govern ment, which holds itself up to universal reprobation?' The following particulars respecting the fate of the unfortunate victims are given by the correspondent of the Constilutionnel : "We have related all the details of the arrest of the son and brother-in-law of Zurbano in the environs of Logrono, taken in an olive-grove, where they were found concealed, but without arms. The son, a young man aged twenty-eight, esteemed in the army, in which he held the rank of major, excited a lively interest in the inhabitants of Logrono, and even the Moderados ex- pressed a wish that ttie Queen's Government -nunld spare him. General Oribe, who holds the command at Burgos, listened to these appeals, and considering, no doubt, that the real, if not the only culprit in the eyes of the Government, was Marti❑ Zurbano, and that the circumstances attending the capture did not imperatively prove the complicity of Benito Zurbano and his uncle, therefore, notwithstanding the general orders issued by Narvaez for shooting Zurbano and his confederates, de ferred the execution, and applied to the Government for express orders. The inhabitants of Logrono, profiting by the respite, sent to Madrid a numerous deputation, among whom were the most important men of all opinions, to lay a petition for mercy at the foot of the throne. The mother and mother-in- law of Benito Zur band also went to Madrid, and drew tears from the eyes of the Queen-Mother, by throwing themselves in the attitude of supplication in the road by which her Majesty was passing in her carriage. Their ardent prayers and bitter sobs were of no avail. The Government remained implacable. An order was immediately dispatched to General Oribe to consummate the execution, and, on the 25th ult. Benito Zurbano and his uncle, with their to o servants, were shot at Logrono. This was not all the stern rigour of the Government ; General Oribe was dismissed from his command for not having blindly fol lowed his first instructions, and it is even said that he is to be brought before a court-martial." The same journal thus contrasts the conduct of Es- PART:EEO under somewhat similar circumstances with that of NARVAEZ.:--. " Let the deplorable details of the execution of Benito Zsrbano, his uncle, and their servants, be compared with the conduct of Espartero's Government towards Diego Lem, and it will be seen whether the Moderados have not deprived themselves of the right of exclaiming against the cruelty of the ex-Regent. Diego Lion was taken with arms in his hands, and yet he was granted a trial ; his execution was the consequence of a judgment, partial and pitiless no doubt, but at least invested with the forms of justice. In the present case, there was no judgment, no trial—nothing but an arbitrary and atro cious act of power. The identity of the prisoners was, it is true, established, but there was no proof of their criminality ; anti, we add, nothing can be further from proof than that there was any culpability inßenito Zur haw) than his being the sou of his father. lie was taken slmost alone, concealed, and without arms. Can we, therefore, be astonished if it be hereafter shown that he disapproved of-the-insurrection, and that he wished to Lvoid,• by flight, participating in those sanguinary acts if reprisals which parties in Spain- r even those in pus session of the Government —perpetrate upon their eno nies ? Prim has escaped, thanks to a species of trial which, from the very iniquity of ,the accusation, excited universal opinion against it. The son of Zurbano has been executed without any form or process, as if it was letermined to hasten his death in, order to tear him from public compassion. In civilised nations, to execute a man without trial is not punishment, but murder." The Journal des DOW* contains an article on the quarantine laws, in which it strongly recommends the Government to get. rid of the-false notions that pre vail respecting contagion, and-place French vessels on an equ'alitY with those of England and Austria.

The Lords present were. the Master of the Rolls, Mr. Baron Parke, the Chancellor of the Duch y of Cornwall, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, Lord Campbell, Sir H. East, Sir E. Ryan, and Sir E.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this appeal to=day, affirming the deciaion of the Court below. IN RE THE PRINCEI3S BARIATINSKI. The fUrther arguments in this part-heard lunatic .pe tition occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. COURT OF REVIEW-(THIS DAY His HoNoun sat to-day in Bankruptcy as Chief Judie of the. Court of Review, and disposed of bankrupt petitions. His Horiouft afterwards in Equity took the motion in the case of " Alalines v. Price," part heard. It is a motion to extend an undertaking that had been given by the defendants ; and if they refused that they might be restrained by an injunction of the Court from working their mines according to the.system of " patching." QUEEN'S BENCH.-( THIS DAT.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.) ' - BIGG AND OTHERS V. WORKMAN. This was an action brought by Messrs. Bigg and Son, the stationers of Parliament-street, to recover an amount of 1351. 9 . 3. for work and labour done. The defendant pleaded . that there were others indebted with him, whose names were set forth in the pleadings, and who ought to be sued with him. Mr. Whately and Mr. Huggins appeared for the plain , tiffs, and Mr. Knowles for, the defendant. It appeared that, towards the latter girt of 1841, or the beginning of 1842, an attempt was made to establish a joint-stock company, to be called the London and Westminster Metropolitan Water Company, of which the defendant was one of the directors. The plaintiff had been employed to print prospectuses, &c., and they had brought an action against defendant for the whole amount. The defence was that the defendant was not solely liable, and witnesses were called to prove that the persons named in the plea, viz., the rest of the directors, were jointly liable with him. Lord Denman, however, was of opinion that the proof of the plea failed, and the jury, found for plaintiff—Damages, 135/. 9s. Before sitting at Nisi Prius this morning, the Court gave judgment in the case, expiate Partington, a writ of habeas corpus which had been m ove d , f or during the term in the Bail Court. The circumstances of the case were fully reported at the time. The judgment of the Court this morning was, that the defendant should be remanded back to hi - s original custody. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lord CHIEF BARON ands Special Jury.) FRAUD ON THU REVENUE-:—THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. NEVILLE. Mr. JERVIS (in the absence of the Solicitor-General), 'stated that this was an information filed at the instance of the Attorney-General, to recover penalties from the defendant, for importing spirits without making a due entry and pitying the usual duties required by law. An arrangement had been agreed to between himself, as representative of the Crown, and Mr. Wordsworth as counsel for the defendant, which would save the Court a great deal of trouble. At the same time, in order to afford a warning to the public, he felt it was his duty to state a few of the reasont. - Which had induced the At torney-General :to file the present information. The defendant Neville was, during the past year, first mate on board the lAth, a steam-vessel belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, and plying between London and Scotland. 'The difference in the amount of duty payable on spirits manufactured in England, Scot land, and Ireland, afforded great temptation to persons who were engaged in the coasting trade of the country. Un _ British spirits the duty was 7s. 10d. per gallon ; on Scotch spirits of a light quality 3s. Bd. ; and for the :protection of the revenue. besides. Other regulations required by the Excise and Customs' departments, it was necessary that all spirits conveyed by coasting-vessels, should be entered on the ship's man if e st. Each of these several provisions had been violated in the present-instance, by the defendants. The specific offence for ivhich a penalty was now to be taken by consent, was committed on the 26th of De cember, 1843, when the defehdant, as chief mate, com municated to the officer on board the vessel, then lying at Leith, that he was going into the town to order spirits. Twelve gallons of spirits were sent on board ; but they wero stowed away, under - 'the . defendant's direction, in such a manner as to escape observation. On the arrival of the vessel at Brown's-wharf,. London, in consequence of information received by the authorities, a minute search was made by the officers, and near to the paddle boxes a quantity of spirits was found stowed away. Those Spirits belonged to the crew. The vessel was seized; - but the defendant had the spirits entered on the ship's manifest, for the. purpose of protection. At that' time the' defendant's own spirits had not been discovered. The vessel proceeded on her outward voyage, and when she had arrived off Gravesend, the Pdiscovered, arranged in such a m a nner as clearly was lypr ovedtbaiitwas intended to be " run" on shore. Under these circumstances proceedings were instituted by the Crown. The defendant had now agreed that a verdict should be given against him for one .penalty, which verdict the jury would then have to return. Mr. WORDSWORTH, for the defendant--It is true that we have consented to a verdict for one penalty ; but on the part of my client I feel it to be my duty to state that he does not at all acquiesce - in the truth of the statement made by my Learned Friend. So far, indeed, from it. Mr. JEnvis (proceeding to open his brief)—The case must go, then, to the jury. The Crown.cannot possibly take the verdict if the defendant be not guilty. Mr. WORDSWORTH—We have agreed to a verdict, but we certainly . do not acquiesce in your statement of facts. The LORD CHIEF BARON—It is, I think, greatly to be lamented that any supposed state of facts has been m eu e b n m t i mil tte s d t , hifatvhe a ectaesnd ei e s n s c Mill ill to to e p m r b oc a e rr ec: s , s fo th r e j su u ch ry a . stlatdeo not know (addressing Mr. Wordsworth) whether you mean to, d . en, that there has been a breach of the re venue Mr. WORDSWORTY—By no moans, my Lord. Mr. JERVIS—The case must go on. if nut guilty, why should you pay a penalty ? The Loan CHIEF' BARON—Your agreeing to a verdict and a penalty ought to import a breach of the revenue laws. I did not understand Mr. Jervis to state anything more. Mr. JERTIS—I shall go on. Mr. WORDSWORTH—There is no occasion. If my Lord understood your statement only to import what his Lordship states, we are satisfied. The LORD CIIIEY BARON (very emphatically)—l trust the misfortune which has occurred to the administration of justice to-day by this misunderstanding will never occur again. The jury then returned a verdict for the Crown, with one penalty. Verdict accordingly. IMPORTANT ♦RRANGEMENT. In the course of the morning, the Lord Chief Baron took an opportunity of informing the Bar that ho had determined no common jury cases should in future be set doWn for hearing in the same paper, and on the same day, as special jury ones. This new arrangement might perhaps cause, here and there, a part of a day to be a void ; but this he looked upon as a less evil than the present one, which detained suitors and witnesses from day to day at great inconvenience and enormous expense, and which frequently was a source also of great embar rassment to counsel. Henceforward, then, common juries should have days to themselves, and special juries days to themselves. The prevailing system had afforded grounds of just complaint ever since the time of Lord Ellenborough, and he felt it his duty to the public and the Bar to provide a remedy for it. Mr. Jervis, Mr. Martin, Mr. Humphrey, and other members of the bar, severally intimated their approval of this new arrangement, which would be alik( a great savirg to the public, and a great convenience to the bar. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) BENTLEY V. CARVER. This was an action for an infringement of a patent, and the only matter of interest involved in it was the manner in which the plaintiffs became possessed of the patent alleged to be infringed. It appeared that Mr. William Thornton Car formerly kept a mill at Black heath, where he carried on experiments in the improve ment or carding machines. In 1841 he invented en ap paratus for card setting, and obtained the patent in ques tion. Having borrowed a sum of money and deposited the patent as security for repayment in a given time, he was unable to pay at the expiration of that period, and consequently the patent was forfeited. The trial will occupy more than one day. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAV.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a fall Bench of Magistrates) A seafaring man, nazied 7'hmitas George Chalk, was indicted for stealing three sheets and a blanket, the property of William Green. I❑ another indictment the prisoner was charged with stealing the same articles, being the property of the governors and subscribers of the Sailors' Home Asylum. It appeared by the evidence of several inmates of the asylum, that the prisoner gained admission to the insti tution as a casually destitute seaman, on the night of the 27th of November, and when leaving the room in the morning where he slept, he was observed to take from off the bed the articles named in the indictment, which he tied up with a piece of tape, and walked down stairs, for the purpose of leaving the aiylum. Information was, however, given to some of the officers of the institution, and the prisoner was brought back, when he endeavoured to get rid of the property by hiding it behind a bed in the corner of the room. The jury, after a consultation of nearly an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in pronouncing sentence upon the prisoner, commented strongly upon his base ingrati tude in attempting to rob an asylum, the objects of which were of a charitable nature, and where he had himself been relieved. The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar months. John Bamin, aged thirteen years, was indicted for stealing a till containing various moneys, which were described as the property of Thomas Wells and others. The circumstances of the case were of rather a sin gular nature. It appeared that a person, named Sweet man, who kept a shop in Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, became bankrupt, when his property and pre mises were handed over to the keeping of one of the messengers in bankruptcy. On the 28th of November the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Sweetman, and crawled on his hands and knees behind the counter, from whence he took the till and moneys, and tried to get out of the shop. The messenger of th e Bankruptcy Court, however, heard the noise, and took the prisoner into custody._ Mr:O'BRIEN, on the part of the prisoner; contended that the indictment B could not be supported, inasmuch as the property was described as belonging to Wells, who was only the trade assignee, whilst in point of law the moment an assignee was appointed to a bankrupt's estate all the property became vested in the official assignee, who in this case was Mr. Groome. The Learned Counsel having quoted several authorities in support of his position, The COURT held that the objection was fatal to the indictment, and desired the jury to bring in an ac quittal, which was accordingly done, and the prisoner left the bar. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas llPGalloway, the master of a trading vessel, was charged with committing a violent assault on Eliza beth Button, whose right arm was broken in consequence of the violence used towards her. The complainant stated that her husband is mate of a ship, and at present abroad. That the defendant and another seafaring man, both acquaintances of her husband, called at her house, and she treated them with kindness on that account. That they had not been long in the house before they began to treat her with great rudeness, and went so far as to attempt to violate her. She, how ever, successfully resisted their attempts, in doing which her arm was broken. The defendant's companion had since gone to sea. The complainant added that she had been confined to her house nearly ever since. The prisoner said he was intoxicated on the night in question, and that he had no recollection of what took place. Mr. COTTENHAM said the prisoner was proved to have behaved in a most brutal manner, and that it was well for him he had not succeeded in his base attempt, for if he had his life would have been placed in jeopardy. The magistrate then inflicted the full penalty of W. on the prisoner, and in default of payment, to two months' imprisonment. THE LATE BANKOWLIBERY. RE-EXAMINATION OF BURGESS AT THE MANSION-HOUSE (THIS DAY). The Loan MAYOR having fixed to-day, at twelve o'clock, for the further examination of William Burgess, charged with uttering two forged transfers for 8,0001, which stood in the books of the Bank of England in the name of Mr. William Oxenford, the approaches to the Mansion-house were thronged with persons eager to ob tain admission to the justice-room. Precisely at twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor entered and took his seat, and immediately afterwards the room was crowded to excess. William Burgess was shortly afterwards placed at the bar, in the custody of John Forester. He was dressed in a suit of black, over which he wore a dark brown taglioni. He was in excellent spirits, and, being very lame, he was . accommodated with a chair as on the las t occasion. He is a tall young man, about twenty-six years of age, with light sandy hair and no whiskers. The LORD MAYOR (to Burgess)—Have you any pro fessional adviser ? Burgess—Yes, my Lord. Mr. J. C. Salomon, solicitor, of 7, Windmill -street, Finsbury-square, said he appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Ware, from the office of Messrs. Freshfield and Co., the Bank solicitors, attended to prosecute. Mr. Salomon (having consulted with the prisoner) said he was instructed to ask for a remand. The LORD MAYOR—On what ground ? Mr. Salomon said for the purpose of obtaining evidence in his behalf, and on that ground he thought there would be no objec tion to a remand on the part of the solicitors fur the Bank. Mr. Ware said he had a number of witnesses present. Unfortunately, one witness, whose evidence was very important, was attending a trial at Westminster, on sub poena, and it was possible that he might not be able to give his evidence. to-day. As there were so many wit nesses present, perhaps it would be the best plan to take their evidence, as it would save them much inconvenience. Mr. Salomon was quite in favour of this course. Mr. Oxenford was then called. He said he was an official agefit in the Long-room, Custom-house. Prior to the 3d of September last he was possessed of the sum of 9,8001. in the Three per Cent. Consolidated An nuities. • (The book containing the entry of the fraudulent with drawal of 8,2001. was then shown to him.) Examination continued—The transaction recorded in the book is not in my handwriting ; neither are the two signatures, " William Oxenford." I never gave any authority to William Burgess, or to any other person, to withdraw the sum of 8.2001. out of the 9,8001. which stood in my name in the Bank books. Mr. Thomas Ingall, a clerk in the Bank of England, was next examined—On Tuesday, the 3d of September last, the prisoner came to the counter and said to me, " Please to witness this transaction." The person who was with him purported to be the owner of the stock ; his real name, I believe, was Joseph Elder. The pri soner wrote his name, and the person who was with him signsd'the name of " William Oxenford." Mr. Salomon—ls it usual for Bank clerks to identify persons transferring stock ? Witness—lt has been the practice for a considerable time. Mr. Salomon—lt is a very improper practice. •: The witness said, the system had been discontinued since"the fraudtilent transfer, Mr. Takely,"a stock-broker, examined—l have known the prisoner about twelve months, from his being a clerk in the office in the Bank in which I was in the habit of transacting business. In the latter part of August he came to me and stated that a friend of his, who had 8,2001. in the Three per Cent. Consolidated Annuities, was desirous of raising 8,000/. On the morning of Tues day, the 3d of September, he brought me the necessary papers filled up for the transfer of 8,200/. To the best of my knowledge he was not accompanied by any person. I sold the stock to a gentleman named Clement Smith. It was divided into two p9rtions. Mr. Ware said the other witness to whom he had alluded could prove the payment of the cheque. John Forester was next examined—ln consequence of a warrant granted by 61r William Magnay (the late Lord Ma) or), on the 2d of November last, for the pri soner's apprehension, he proceeded to America, and arrested him soon after his arrival on Brewster's Island, near the lighthouse, and about eleven miles from Boston, and brought him to England. Mr. Salomon then applied to have the prisoner re manded until Wednesday next. The LORD ,MAYOR—Burg ess , h ave you any o bj ect i on to be remanded to that day Burgess—l have no ob jection, my Lord.—He was remanded accordingly. The prisoner throughout paid great attention to the evidence, and frequently conferred with his solicitor. He was then removed in the custody of John Forrester, and walked with difficulty from the bar. LLOYD'S SHIPPIN (4.—(T HIS DAY.) LONDON, DEC. 4.—Wind N., fresh breeze, nisi cloudy.

An arrival from the Mauritius brings dates of the 7th September. In order to relieve the pressure for money, the most influential merchants had agreed to take Com pany's rupees at 50 cents for two years. The imports-- tam of so many labourers caused an increased demand for the metallic currency, and with the Coolies rupees were a favourite coin.
