Rossini, the Wonder of the Musical World!! ! " Mdlle. Rossini is a pretty young Lady, who has acquired a per fect mastery over the Violin, using )ter bow with condden ce, exe cuting rapid passages with facility, and producing a tone both sweet and powerful. In fact, she is a very clever young Lady."—Times " oldlle. Rossini played two grand Fantasias on the Violin with admirable execution and effect, and with a skill and command that drew from the audience repeated bursts of applause "—Post. " This young Lady:execcated some very difficult music, with the readiness and finish of a perfect artiste, and displayed her mastery over the somewhat novel instrument in a Lady's hands, the Violin, say giving the modern ' effects,' the pisalcate, the h:rmonier, and other embellishments of the Paganini sehool, in a style which called forth repeated plaudits."—Herald. " We had the pleasure of being present at the private rehearsal Concert of Mdlle. Rossini, the Lady Violinist, at the Adelphi Theatre, and were highly delighted and equally astonished at her Performances. There is about her playing a firmness and precision of touch, and a freedom of bowing, which we should not have ex. pected from a Lady. Her purity and correctness of tone are truly wonderful. In a Grand Scotch Fantasia, she introduced the beau. Mil Air of ' Auld Robin Gray,' and gave it with an expressive pathos, a thrilling tenderness of tone, that reminded us strongly of the pathetic style of Miss Stephens' voice in the same Ballad. She was admirably supported by the members of the Collini Family."—Sun. Never was triumih so brilliant. Ihe Adelphi is nightly crowded by audiences most fashionable, classic, scientific, and the musical elite, who pronounce Mdlle. ROSSINI to be the Paganini of the day. The Great Wizard of the North begs to refer the Public to the cri tiques In the Times, Post, Herald, Sun, and all the leading Weekly Journals, on Mdlle. ROSSINI'S extraordinary powers on the Violin. These are the best credentials he can offer. To his own unparelleled Entertainment he is nightly adding NEW WONDERS. He will slightly appear with the above highly gifted La ly, and prove, by ocular demonstration, that he is the Great Professor of NATURAL MAGIC and EXPRIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY.

Future historians, when alluding to the reign of Queen VICTORII—which GOD grant may be a long and;hgcpy one not fail to notice,',withbecoming exultation, the fact that it was a reign distinguished far beyond any of the preceding ones by the frank, unhesitating confidence, and generous spirit of cor. diality evinced by the Sovereign towards all her European allies ; that then, for the first time in the annals of modern English history, an attempt was made by a young and beautiful woman to do away with that stiff, unsocial reserve which had hitherto kept the monarchs of Great Britain apart from all contemporary Royalties, and to introduce a more Amiable, enlightened, and—we may add—politie system of fraternization with her allies through out the continent of Europe. To this praise— and when Tightly considered, it is praise of a very high order—Queen VICTORIA. is most justly entitled; and it may be accorded to her by the moat ultra- Radical journal, even by the Northern Star .itsele , without incurring that suspicion of hollow flattery which so often taints any reference that may be made to the sayings and doin gs of crowned heads. By her visit last year, first to Fr ance, le eof frank ness and then to Belgium, her MAJESTY has set anex mp andsociability that cann o t fail a tob attended with the happiest remits. It is a proof of her benevolent desire to consult the best interests of her subjects by drawing tha bonds of union still closer between England and the Continental Powers, and to maintain the general tranquillity undisturbed, by encouraging the spread of a more intimate and friendly acquaintance with her immediate neighbours —with France, more especially, which for the last four or five years has entertained towards us few other feelings than those of distrust and jealousy. Since the QUEEN'S well-timed visit last year to Loris PHILLIPPE at the Chateau D'Eu—these feelings have greatly diminished in intensity, if they have not alto gether disappeared, except amongi the republican war party in France, whom nothing short of a system of general licentious Propagandism will ever satisfy ; and should the King of the Barricades reciprocate her MAJESTY'S frank and liberal confidence and courtesy tby returning her visit—which it is suspected he will do before long—we may reasonably enough anticipate that a better spirit will be engendered between France and England than has ever yet existed between these two influential rival kingdoms. Doubtless it is to the social example set by her MAJESTY, and her known wish to make, as far as it is possible to do so, one vast, harmonious brotherhood of Europe, that we owe the recent visit of the King of PRUSSIA, and the present still more remarkable visits of the King of SAXONY and the Emperor of RUSSIA. From the presence of this last potentate among us we may augur the most auspicious results to the future des tinies both of England and Russia. His Im perial MAJESTY, now in the full meridian of his intellectual powers, will have an op portunity of personally witnessing the immense wealth, the inexhaustible resources, the indomitable energy and enterprise of this country ; the active habits of its population, their bold yet orderly bearing, and their prodigious masses, " thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks of Vallombrosa," will strike him with astonishment and admiration every hour of the day, in every city, town, or even village, through which he may happen to pass, and he will necessarily infer the expediency of keeping on the closest terms of amity with a nation possessed of such resources, and wielding such mighty power; while, as regards our English institutions, when he attentively consi ders their character, marks their liberal tendency, and their excellent practical working in the frank, fear less, and active demeanour of the people, and bears in mind to what an unprecedented height of power and prosperity they have raised Great Britain ; when his Imperial MAJESTY directs his attention, and he can scarcely fail to do otherwise, to these im portant matters, it may, we think, be reasonably in ferred that many an anxious thought will pass through his mind as to the expediency of remodelling, so far as is compatible with prudence, the public institutions of his own kingdom, of softening their present harsh, despotic nature, and giving them a chance, at least, of producing some of those comprehensive national benefits whichfree institutions have produced in this country. Russiahas within her self all the elements of greatness and prosperity; she possesses an infinite variety of soil and climate ; a hardy and industrious population is hers, well fitted to draw forth the riches of her mines, many of which are yet but imperfectly explored, and to increase tenfold the value and extent of her agricultural produce ; and nothing more is needed to make her tite wealthiest, most independent, and most influential kingdom in Europe, with the sole exception of England, but such a tolerant and en larged system of government as shall regard the wel fare of the Many instead of the Few, and give the vast masses of her people a direct, heart-felt interest in supporting it. Perhaps the greatest anomaly existing in the whole administrative system of our law is—that denial of the benefit of an appeal from the sentence of the judge, in criminal cases, which the jurisprudence of the most enlightened continental States so care fully reserves to the convicted offender. It is a bar barous deficiency—the more striking and deplorable because of the general perfection, the combined huma nity and wisdom, of that scheme of administrative justice which is one of our proudest titles to superior civilisation. We give the accused criminal, indeed, every advantage which he can derive from being guaranteed a dispassionate and unprejudiced demeanour, and statement of the charge, on the part of the prosecuting counsel ; and a merciful readiness, on the part of the presiding judge, to suggest to the jury any topics for favourable con struction of motives and actions, where these — although arising out of circumstances in evidence — might otherwise be overlooked or undervalued by minds less logically disciplined, or technically acute, than his (the judge's) own. 'We have (very recently, however,) at length got rid of another anomaly, which had for centuries disgraced the same branch of our jurisprudence—by allowing counsel to be heard for the accused in criminal, as for the de fendant in civil, cases ;—" a great and mighty im provement," Mr. KELLY justly styled it. Let us add that, with it, the names of the Hon. Member for Dumfries (Mr. EWART), of the Hon. and Learned Member for Ipswich himself (Mr. KELLY), and of a distinguished law Lord in the House of Peers, will always be most honourably associated. But that, for so many hundreds of years, we should have denied this right of appeal to a superior tribunal, in criminal cases—whilst in all cases and proceedings of a civil character, " where lands, houses, merchandise, money, or property of any kind, or the rights of succession," are in question, we have always conceded it to that party, to such suits, " who has felt himself aggrieved by the verdict of a jury, or the decision of a judge ;" —this distinction does seem to be as unaccountable and capricious as it is certainly inequitable. We cannot remember to have read a speech in which the invidious and dangerous character of this distinction has been so ably handled, or so powerfully enforced, as in that of Mr. KELLY on Thursday evening. It ex hausted the subject of the hardship, the cruelty, the judicial murders (may we not call it ?), to which the deficiency of such an appeal has not merely a ten dency to work, but which, alas, it has actually and very lately perpetrated ! It refused the expediency, the humanity, the justice of supplying suck a defi ciency upon arguments absolutely unassailable. We are reminded upon a careful perusal of Mr. KELLY'S remarkable address (which we warmly commend to the best attention of our readers), of those dark and scandalous passages in our judicial history, tha still preserve, in the records of " State Trials," in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, the memory of wicked and sycophantic judges ; of timid and overawed juries; and of unhappy victims to re ligious or political persecution, whom the right of the appeal now contended for, might have snatched from the scaffold or the stake, and spared to the cause of those holy principles of moral and of civil freedom which to have advocated was the real offence that many of them suffered martyrdom for. We have said that in civil actions, the party deem ing himself aggrieved by the verdict " Of one jury, or by the decision of a point of law by one judge, had an appeal against the verdict of that jury—he had an appeal to the court, and through the court to another jury—he had an appeal against the decision of a single judge to the court, and from one cou rt to another, until he could carry his case to the highest tribunal in the land—the House of Lords, for decision." Now let us see how Mr. KELLY contrasts the case of a man tried under a criminal indictment : " But if," says the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, "a man were indicted for a crime affecting his character, his property, his liberty, nay, even his life, he might be indicted, he might have the verdict of one jury against him, or the decision of a point of law against him by a single judge; but from that verdict of one jury, from that decision of one judge, he had no appeal. lie might suffer in his character—he might suffer in his property—he might suffer in his person—he might be imprisoned, transported, or suffer death—the de cision of the jury might be wrong, the verdict might be erroneous, either in consequence of the jury having proceeded upon wrong evidence, or having drawn a wrong inference from the facts given in evidence—the judgment of a single judge might be erroneous on some point of law or practice— yet froni'Lhat verdict and from that judgment there was no appeal, and an inaocent man's life might be sacrificed." Why this is all au; ully true. And if the import ance of providing a remedy for such an enormous evil can be enhanced, after such a statement, in the opinion of Parliament, let us call upon it to consider how grave an inference of selfishness is raised in the following passage against the spirit of that legislatio n which can so long have tolerated the absence of so appeal. Mr.. KELLY observed— believe that if such a state of things c fo a r m t e h within t House of Parliament had been liable to indictment for crimes wriolu‘hlldti‘ehaaLU;cvoeulbdnetsnearlolwYed to coi4innethe Members of either the reach of the criminal law w ere instead of being parties to actions. u n thosed ou t d whoy munity." part, among the poorer and humbler classes of the com- We have no ;091/1 here to go into the particulars of the cases adduced by Mr. KELLY, in exemplification of the frightful injustice—the "judicial murder," we repeat—to which the denial of an appeal from crimi nal convictions may lead ; but we doubt not that our readers will be strongly moved by the remarkable story of CHAUCER, tried, convicted, and executed nine years since, for the murder of a gamekeeper in Suffolk, of which another man has since acknow ledged the guilt to be his, distinctly exonerating CHALICES. from all participation in it. Again—the par ticulars of the ease tried at the Huntingdon Assizes, together with Mr. KELLY'S own honest, benevo lent, and intrepid efforts, six times renewed, to prove to the judge who had tried it his misdirection to the 'jury as to the nature of the offence charged, we may ''safely leave to speak for themselves. But bere is an incidental remark, introduced, apparently, in the most casual manner, into another portion of the same speech, in illustration of his general argument, the application of which irresistibly suggests itself in connexion with a case that a few weeks ago excited such intense interest in the public mind. That in terest has given way to a feeling of almo,t unmiti gated astonishment and pain, at the tardy exercise and stern ungracious qualification of the royal pre rogative of mercy announced by the Home Secretary. " If a verdict of guilty should be returned, however erroneous it might be, and if the learned judge who tried the case should be satisfied with the verdict, there was no human remedy; he would pass sentence, whether of imprisonment, transportation for a term of years or for life, or even of death itself; there was no power of appeal, and sentence would be executed." Might not this have been most accurately said of the strange sentence passed by Mr. Justice MAULE on the unfortunate Mertz FIIRLEY ; and the stranger humanity, which, removing that wretched woman from the scaffold whence the indignant demand of public feeling had rescued her, condemned her to seven years' transportation ? We congratulate Mr. KELLY on his noble effort on Thursday; and wish him all imaginable suocess in the conduct of his " Bill to provide an Appeal in Criminal Cases." Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received. The Queen, her Mother, and the Infanta reached Va lencia on the evening of the 23d, and were enthusias tically received by almost the entire population. Their Majesties were delayed on the road by heavy rains, which rendered the road from Quintanar to Almansa almost impassable. On arriving at the latter place, the young Queen found herself very unwell, and immediately went to bed. During the journey from Quintanar, which took place during the night, the carriage of her Majesty was twice nearly upset, and several men and horses belonging to the escort received several bruises by falling into and over the deep ruts and huge stones scattered along the road. The Royal party were to pass Whitsuntide at Valen cia, and are not expected at Barcelona until the 29th. The Three per Cents. were done at 28i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20 5-16 20 for cash, and 20 at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies brought the discussion on the foreign relations of the country to a close on Friday. M. GUIZOT delivered a masterly speech on the occasion, and so completely refuted the arguments of M. MIENS that the Opposition had not the courage to go to a division on the question. The Minister reprobated that restless, meddling spirit dis played by some statesmen, which led them constantly to interfere with the affairs of foreigners and make Frenchmen take part in their quarrels. If such were to be the policy of France she could not remain at peace for six months. " Besides (he said), there was one that should always be respected, and that was that the KING alone enjoyed the right of making peace or declaring war, and that no one but the lima could exercise this right : if such were not the case, France would be exposed to the danger of being com promised at every moment, and in every quarter of the globe. Look at what was passing at this moment in America; there was war carrying on in different points : there were Frenchmen at all these places, and if they interfered in these disputes France would soon be engaged in them. But this was contrary to com mon sense—absolutely absurd." In reference to the war between Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, M. TRIERS said he wished to say n word on the position of the question_ He should not presc the subject to a vote, because he was unwilling to make the safety of the French subjects at Monte Video depend on so uncertain a thing as a vote of the Chamber. He, however, should make a last appeal to the humanity of the Chamber in favour of their countrymen. " The Government," said M. GUIZOT, " would take all the measures necessary for the protection of the persons, property, and rights of the French subjects at Monte Video ; remembering, at the same time, that there were Frenchmen also in France, and that the interests of all must be conciliated without sacrificing one to the other." The Presse thus adverts to the defeat of M. TIHERS and the eloquence of his antagonist : " We may, therefore, be relied upon explicitly when we say that never was the incontestible superiority of M. Guizot over M. Thiers shown in so clear and brilliant a light. What a wide distance between the talent of the one and the talent of the other ! What a contrast between their speeches! One so perfectly master of himself, always reaching his object with out going beyond it ; at once dignified and disdainful, never descending to fronybut rising to it by an imperturbable and marked courtesy full and unrestrained ; the other not retaining his self-possession, incessantly repeating hitown words, dwell ing upon minute details, falling into personalities and offensive language, and coming out of them onl7 by the common place exaggeration of his sentiments which, when sincere, are expressed by phrases which even the Constitutionnel itself no longer makes use of. Has M. Thiers no friends near him who will warn him that he is misled by spite and is lost in resentment ? It was impossible for an ex-Minister, one who has been President of the Council, to forget himself, all right principles, and all decency to a greater extent. We do not exaggerate when we say that M. Thiers sank yesterday far beneath those men of the Opposition whom we have heard him attack between 1834 and 1837, with so much viru lent acrimony and treat with so much contempt." The funeral of M. LAFFITTE passed off without any popular commotion, though some of the orations delivered over the grave were of a most stirring cha racter, and evidently directed against the KING. We give the following as a specimen from the speech de livered by M. GARNIER PAGES " One day, afflicted by the sight of the evils which pressed upon your country, you begged pardon of God and man for the results of your own work. Whilst lam speaking you are in the presence of God, and God has absolved you; for the error of a great mind which cannot foresee evil is never a crime. And, besides, were you not made to expiate, by cowardly persecutions and the most detestable calumnies, the imprudence of having raised those to power who subsequently persecuted and calumniated you ? No ! No ! Laffitte ; you were not the guilty party. The guilty are those who, de spising the sacred obligation of an oath, have forgotten the promises of July, who have trampled under foot the people who set them up, and who, raised to power in the name of the great principles of liberty, immediately became rene gades. Shame be upon them for ever ! Shame be upon those who have forgotten their origin, and have violated the most sacred engagements! The justice of God, like that of man, is sometimes tardy, but a day will arrive when it will fall upon them.' After N. Garnier Pages, M. Philippe Dupin, at the request of the Prince de la Moskowa, made a short but affecting speech, which he con cluded as follows :•-•--‘ We shall retain the remembrance of the virtues and services of Jacques Laffitte. In his private life he merited universal confidence. No man was ever more kind and liberal, in the finest and rarest acceptation of the word ; in his public life he always gave proofs of the most pure and disinterested patriotism. He carries with him to the grave the love of his friends and of all who were acquainted with him, and the esteem of his country. Unanimous regret will be felt at his loss among all classes and all opinions.' A young student made an oration in the name of the deputation of the schools. The persons who had followed the remains of the deceased then left the cemetery, and the crowd generally dispersed in the greatest order. Nothing occurred to bring discredit upon the populace, or interrupt the solemn harmony of the day. An attempt to disturb this harmony was, how ever, made at the last moment by a proposal for an ovation in honour of M. Beranger. That gentleman being in one of the carriages of the procession which were returning from the cemetery, some young men were desirous of taking off the horses, and harnessing themselves to the carriage, but the horse municipal guards came up, and prevented the accom plishment of this object. The horses were then put to a gallop, and set off under an escort of municipal guards. It was nearly half-past six when this occurred, and the Boulevards were still crowded with spectators." On Saturday the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 55c. The French Government have received the follow ing telegraphic dispatch : STRASBURG, MAY 31, 2 o'CLOCK. " Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Strasburg from Basle at half-past twelve. Her Royal High ness is proceeding to Germany, and is to take her departure at six o'clock." THE COURT.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, and their illustrious visitors, the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony, are expected to leave town this afternoon, soon after three o'clock, by a special train, on the Great Western Railway, for Windsor Castle. The Royal party will remain. at the Castle during Ascot races. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager left town this morning for the Continent. Her Majesty took her departure by the London and Dover Railway, for Dover, there to embark for France. Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her illustrious visitors, the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony, will be present at the Ascot-heath Races to-morrow, On Wednesday there will be a grand review at Windsor of the household brigade, and on Thursday the races will again be honoured with the presence of the royal party THIS DAY'S NEWS. FIRE AT GRAVESEND. About eleven o'clock last night a fire commenced at Gravesend, which caused a far more extensive destruction of property than any similar event in that town for the last half-century. It commenced at a small house in West-street, from the flue of a chimney belonging to a shrimp boiler, and quickly communicated to the building, which, as well as the adjoining ones, was constructed principally of wood. The fire spread with great rapidity, and the wind fanned the flames from house to house. The town engines were speedily got into play, as was the engine from the fort, and assisted in a very short time by engines from Rochester, Dartford, and other places, which, on seeing the brilliant blaze caused by the fire, had at once started for the scene of conflagration. The detachments of soldiers lying at Tilbury and at Graves end, rendered every assistance in their power, and were of the greatest service in keeping order and working the engines. After burning for several hours, and destroying about twenty five houses, several wharfs, and consuming a vast quantity of materials connected with shipping, the fire was fortunately got under. At four o'clock all further danger had ceased. An entire square of building between West-street and the River was consumed, and some houses on the upper side of that street were burnt, and others damaged. Considering the nature of the fire, and the place where it occurred, it is almost surprising that the whole of that part of the town of Gravesend was not consumed. We have not heard in what offices the property was Insured. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1844. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. This morning, before nine o'clock, a considerable number of persons had assembled in Dover-street for the purpose of catching a glimpse of his Imperial Majesty, who, it was understood, would leave the Embassy (Ashburnham House), at an early hour, for the purpose of paying various visits. About nine o'clock a party of the C division of police, under Mr. Superintendent Baker, were posted near the gates to preserve free ingress and egress, and even at that hour their services were found necessary, several of the nobility and gentry having then called and left their names, and up to twelve o'clock the influx had been considerable, attended with some inconvenience, arising from the small size of the lodge, and consequent difficulty of access to the books in which the autographs were taken. VISIT TO STORR AND MORTIMER'S. This splendid and unique establishment was the first to be honoured with the August Emperor's commands. On Sa turday night, as late as twelve o'clock, a message was sent to Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, known as Storr and Mortimer, the eminent jewellers and silversmiths, in New Bond-street, intimating that his Majesty would be there as early as nine o'clock on Monday morning, which being much earlier than the attendants are usually present, caused some considerable bustle to prepare for his Majesty's reception. Two of the Royal carriages and Colonel Wyld were in Dover street for the service of the Emperor at an early hour, but shortly before ten o'clock they drove away, and in five minutes afterwards the Imperial Monarch proceeded in his private barouche, attended by Baron Brunnow, Count Orloff, and suite, to that celebrated emporium of tastefully arranged gems and precious metals, Messrs. Storr and Mortimer, and having been conducted over the establishment by the prin cipals, repeatedly expressed his admiration at the beauty of the construction, and the costliness and magnificent display of bijouterie contained in this well known establishment. His Majesty concluded his visit by making some most liberal purchases, consisting of valuable diamond and other rings, pins, brooches, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, seals, chains, &c. His Majesty then proceeded to visit Lord Heytesbury, formerly ambassador to the Court of Russia, and whom his Majesty esteems as a private friend; from thence he pro ceeded to pay several visits to other noblemen who have been connected with Russian diplomatic missions. His Ma jesty left for Windsor Castle at three o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Stradbroke. BROWN V. BOORMAN. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied their Lordships the whole do/. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit till eleven o'clock to-day. SAYER V. WAGSTAFF. The further arguments in this part•heard cause petition occupied his Lordship the whole morning. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) LN THE MATTER OF THE QVEEN V. ARTHUR SAMUEL CAULES. Mr. HORSE, in this case, moved for a rule to show cause why the attorney for the prosecution, Mr. Heywood, should not pay the defendant 86/. 9s. 6d. The indictment was pre ferred against the defendant for erecting a stall in the High street of Dartmouth, but on the Learned Judge saying he would tell the jury that the question they had to try was whether the stall was erected with bona fides, the attorney for the prosecution offered to withdraw the indictment, and pay the costs of the day, which was assented to. Several notices were served on Mr. Heywood that they were about to tax the costs, but he never appeared. The costs were ulti mately taxed to the amount of 86/. 9s. 6d.—Rule granted. BOW-STREET.-(TIIIS DAY.) A young boy was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with annoying his master, a tailor, in the Strand. After the case had been gone into, the boy called his fa ther as a witness in his lavow, and the usher was almut to administer the usual oath, when the following somewhat novel scene took place : Chief Usher—Take the book, Sir. Witness—Yes, with my hat on. Usher—What do you mean ? Witness—l am a Quaker bred.—The witness was not attired in the habit of a Quaker. Mr. ALL—Do you wish to be sw orn or t o ma k e an affir mation? Witness—'lis quite immaterial. Mr. HALL—What! Do you say it is quite immaterial whether you are sworn or not? Witness—l am a Quaker bred and born. Mr. HALL—Do you mean to tell me that it is a matter of little consequence whether you are sworn or not? Witness —lt does not much matter. Mr. HALL—Then you are quite quite indifferent as to whe ther you swear or affirm ? Witness—Eith er one or t h e ot h er . i Mr. HALL—WeII, that s a most extraordinary declara tion, and one that is not very creditable to you. Witness—l have no objection to do anything in the regular way ; I will do anything you say is regular. Mr. HALL—I have no power over a man's conscience ; you must choose for yourself. Witness—l am not in the habit of coming before gentle men like you, Sir. Mr. HALL—I never heard a Quaker before who told me that it was a matter of perfect indifference to him whether he was sworn or whether he made an affirmation. anything that is regular. Witness—Well, I will be sworn with my hat on. Mr. HALL—A . Quaker is not sworn at all, nor does he make ? Witness—Yes. an affirmation with his hat on. you know anything about the matter that ere,.you present when the annoyance took Mr. HALL—Oh, then, we can do without your evidence. i p s l ab33llcVlieerrfio..t?nrilHee HALL — Do — t lC n Vo e Del s uVl s Orl No, I was not. The prisoner was then discharged with a caution. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) George Piper, a bricklayer, was charged with assaulting Mr. Burman, the proprietor of the Bagnigge-wells Tavern, Bagnigge-wells-road, and also with assaulting Wm. Pride, a labourer. _ _ It appeared from the evidence that on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the prisoner, being under the influence of liquor, went into the Bagnigge-wells Tavern, and, without having received any provocation whatever, struck Pride, who was standing quietly by, several severe blows on the face. Mr. Burman interfered, upon which the prisoner struck him with violence on the breast. The prisoner in defence urged that he had been informed that Pride had calumniated him, and in the excitement of the moment struck him. Mr. BINGHAM said, even supposing what the prisoner said was true, he had acted most improperly in assuming at the same moment the offices of judge, jury, and executioner. The landlord had acted very properly in preventing a riot in his house, and deserved credit for the part he had taken. He would fine the prisoner 10s., and bind him over to keep the peace for three months. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) An old woman, without a gown, named Tyrrell, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bond, on suspicion of having stolen a pint-pot, two cups and a saucer, and a small coloured decanter. From the statement of 208 B, it appeared that he found the defendant in Elizabeth-street, Belgrave-square, on Sunday morning between fire and six o'clock. She was picking boughs from a tree. As she had something wrapped in a handkerchief, he questioned her respecting its contents, sus pecting that it contained stolen property ,• upon untying it the pint-pot, which is the property of Mr. Gibbons, a publi can, at Chelsea, dropped on the ground. He asked how she came to have it in her possession, when she replied that she was taking it to Tooley-street, where she lived, and that she would return it to the owner to. day. Witness said he had been given to understand that the woman bears a bad cha racter in the neighbourhood in which she resides, and had pawned nearly all her husband's clothes as well as her own. The defendant, who, during the evidence of the policeman, behaved in the most eccentric manner, here said—" I am sell ing all my old things to get new ; I think it is time, for I've had them 20 years." The policeman, in answer to a question from the Magistrate said he thought the defendant's mind was affected. Defendant, with vehemence—That's a lie. The policeman further sill that when the cell in which the defendant was confined was opened, she was found almost in a state of nudity, having torn her gown to fragments and otherwise injured her under -clothing. Mr. BOND said he thought the woman was insane. She was remanded until Wednesday, until inquiries are made respecting her. Her husband afterwards stepped forward and informed the Magistrate that his wife was insane--that she was frequently guilty of most extraordinary conduct. He had endeavoured to get her into some lunatic asylum, but without success. He was desired to attend on Wednesday, when Mr. BOND said he would see what could be done for the poor creature. Thomas Grace, a little boy, was charged with stealing 21 cheroots from the shop of Mr. Sherrer, a cigar -dealer. The boy, who is an itinerant vendor of cheap blacking, went into MlA i er's shop, about six o'clock on Saturd a y evening, and im to buy some blacking. Mr. Sherrer said he did not want any, but told him to stop as he saw some cigars behind the lid of the small blacking-box which the boy carried. He, however, took to flight, but was imme diately stopped, when he begged to be forgiven. The cigars were found on him. The defendant was fully committed for trial. He begged hard not to be sent to thaessions. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) Robert Donaldson, a well-dressed young gentleman, who described himself as a clerk in a counting-house, but who was stated by the officers of the Court ton be a son of Mr. Dcnaldson, of the firm of Courage and Ddon the emi nent brewers, was charged with a ssaulting the police. Police-constable 212 D said, hat about two o'clock that morning, he was passing through Oxford-terrace, when he thought he heard a faint call of police, and he went in the direction of the sound, but without seeing any one. He, however, heard a faint groan, and looking more narrowly about, observed the prisoner lying on the flags, with his gold watch lying on the pavement beside him. Wituesi eked law yrhere he lived, and bound a mat abominable expression, and raid, "Take that, you —," at the same time striking witness a blow under the chin, and knocking him back with great violence. He took him (the prisoner) thereinto custody, and told him he must go to the station-house. He did go about twelve yards, and then he kicked witness's feet from him, but a brother constable coming up, he was eventually lodged in the station-house. Mr. RAwuxsoN—Well, Sir, you look a gentleman. What can you say to this ? Prisoner—Well, I must have been in a dreadful state of intoxication, that's certain. I've been punished though (and the prisoner passed his hand across a scar in his cheek, the mark of his too close contact with " the stones") ; but I really have no recollection of anything that occurred. Mr. Re.wuNsoN—l must endeavour to improve your me mory for the time to come. You are fined 405., Sir ; and let me say, Sir, that I think your conduct most disgraceful, and you deserve to be made an example of. The prisoner had left the Court before the worthy Magis trate's admonition was ended. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. 7 -(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Jtais 3.—Light northerly breezes, cloudy at times, but fine.

The attendance of both London and country dealers was small, yet the demand for most descriptions of English Wheat was steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected. The best qualities of Foreign Wheat were in demand at full quotations, but in other kinds, as well as bonded parcels, next to nothing was doing. Barley was steady. The best malting parcels were, in some instances, ls. per quarter dearer, while grinding and distilling sorts ruled fully stationary. Malt the turn higher. Oats, Beans.

A special general meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, convened by the following circular, met this day at Exeter Hall, in the Lower Room, at eleven o'clock : "British and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society, "27, New Broad-street, May 23,1844. " At a special meeting of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, held at No. 27, New Broad street4 on Wednesday evening, the 22d instant, it was resolved : " That a special general meeting of the members of the British and Foreign Anti• Slavery:Society be summoned, in conformity with the Bth rule of its constitution, to meet at Exeter Hall, London, on Monday, the 3d of June next, at eleven o'clock in the morning, 'to consider that part of the constitution of the Society, which pledges it to the adoption of fiscal regulations ix favour of free labour.' " As a member of the Society, according to the sth rule of its constitution, you are respectfully invited to attend. This circular, which is not transferable, will be your ticket of admission to the said special general meeting, on inscribing your name and address, in a book to be prepared for the pur pose, at the Hall, " I am, yours respectfully, " JOHN SCOBLE, Sec." Among those present we observed, John Bright, Esq., M.P., Joseph Sturge, Esq., Rev. J. H. Hinton, J. Scoble, and several other friends of the Anti-slavery cause. On the motion of Mr. E. Smax, of Sheffield, seconded by Mr. J. J. GURNEY, SAMUEL TUKE, Esq., was called to the chair. After some short preliminary discussion, the Secretary read an explanatory statement of the course pursued by the Corn-, mittee 6f the British and Foreign Ants-Slavery Society, in relation to fiscal regulations in favour of free labour. The Rev. J. J. HINTON then rose, to bring under their con sideration an entire class of measures in regard to the slavery cause. A principle which had been admitted from the be ginning of the formation of the Society was now called in question. The interests of humanity were involved in the decision to which they were about to come. There had, no doubt, come over the public mind a change of opinion OR this subject. The subject of free trade had not ac quired the hold of the 'public mind at the time the Society was formed which it had at present. After the instruction at , the last general meeting it was impossible to leave the ques tion undiscussed. He believed that all parties, too, were equally anxious for the extinction of slavery. The question did not relate to any particular measure, it related to the t p i r o i n n s ci fn le fa w vo h u e of free labour were powerful as an expression of popular r t h o e; f o r r e e n o l t ah i t e i n v r e . re F pr i o se p a y r t e o gti a In a p t i t e fi n a s ca i n l r f e a g:s e l n a r opinion against slavery. It was a practical discountenance of slavery, and the force of public opinion thus expressed y t o a t n h d a t the es slavethe a d w d i a s e a s p d t v v i e a e n r n y t e a f g g r t e h s e e a s a t e . p r p e lT g i: u d la obt t oe ien asld s a . dveed i r lese regulations fostered the growth of a commercial principle, antagonistic to slave labour, and as slave labour was dearer than free labour, the latter would eventually . drive slave labour from the field. These were the reasons in favour of fiscal regulations favour able to free labour. One of the main objections made to this principle was, that it must be maintained by force. They required to be maintained by force no otherwise than all other fiscal regalations. To object to it on this ground was to object to taxes, police, judges, and juries. The Society was pledged to pacific measures, but that meant not warlike measures. War, not force, was the antithesis of peace. He admitted that, other things being equal, free labour was cheaper than slave labour; but he did not see the inconsis tency with which they:were charged. They might still call upon them to cut short the struggle between free labour and slave labour by fostering the former. But was free at present on an equality with slave labour? Certainly not. The slave master had greater facilities for increased produc tion than the masters of fre3 men. The two elements there fore were not in a fair state of competition, and it was neces -6417 to foster the Law; and if they put free labour and slave 1 labour to a contest of this kind, he should feel he was recreant to humanity.—(Cheers.) The last objection was that slavery would be equally aggravated by the admission of free labour produce into the British markets. Theargument was, that commerce like the ocean would find the level. New, how ever true might be this commercial argument, it left the moral argument untouched. Let the slave-holders get rich if it pleased Providence, but it was necessary to his own purity that he should not encourage them. The increased demand would be supplied not solely from Brazil but from the world at large, partly from Brazil and partly from other countries, but slave labour sugar would be shut out from the British market; which was the best market in the world, and we sti mulated free labour produce more than slave labour produce by opening to the former the best market in the world, and keeping the latter out of it. It should be remembered that the Government measure with regard to sugar was not the measure asked for by the Society. What they asked for was that free labour sugar should be admitted without any discriminating duty. It appeared to him, therefore, that there were valid reasons for maintaining fiscal regulations in favour of free labour, and that the arguments used against it were of no validity. It was admitted on all sides that the admission of slave labour produce would stimulate slavery and the slave trade, and this would be uncompensated for by anything whatever. But it was contended that the adop tion of free trade was in fact the shortest and surest course for doing away with slavery. He was sorry to be obliged to say to that—not proven. It was said that the force of anti slavery opinion would reach the Brazils if we took the sugars. Why, it did not even pervade England. Shackles were made in Birmingham —cotton in Glasgow—the Zuluetas char tered vessels to Africa. The trade in cotton with England had doomed Texas to slavery. Texan slavery was the spawn of free trade. Unrestricted commerce never had freed the slave, and never would. Bringing happiness and pros perity where labour was free, it brought misery, wretched ness, and destruction to the slave—unrestricted trade. Let the thief expose his plunder for sale in the streets—let slave ships again go forth from our ports, and the trade in man be as free as any other. No ! Trade must have its restric tions. He begged to move the fallowing resolution : " That in the judgment of this meeting, that portion of the fourth rule of the Society, which requires it to promote the adoption of fiscal regulations in favour of free labour' ought to be confirmed." Mr. J. J. GURNEY seconded the resolution. He doubted whether it was competent to change the fundamental com pact in which they were united, and he considered that the discussion at the last meeting was out of order. He doubted 'whether it was competent to them to alter the con stitution of the Society without the unanimous consent of the general body. Any alteration would bring in a certain amount of sugar from Cuba and Brazil, and that would re present a certain amount of the blood and sufferings of our fellow-creatures. He had seen the sufferings of the slaves in the Barracoons of Cuba, where the planter would take the stronger animal to his estate and work him to death. Their duty was plain—it was to do: all they could to discourage slavery, and therefore to support fiscal regulations in favour of foreign produce. It was not a question of free trade, but of morality and religion. He would leave the Committee if the resolution was not carried. (The meeting had not concluded when our report left.) MONE it AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITT, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday, the sales were 4,000 bales, the holders being still inclined to press sales. Prices were as before. The sales included 1,000 bales La Guayra, at 4i to 4i.—ln Shares there was a better feeling, and business to some extent was done in French, Dover, and Great Western.

There are again only Continental arrivals. The accounts from the provinces with respect to the wea ther begin to excite much interest and some anxiety, and although the Baltic Grain Markets are reported in to-day's advices as being rather dull, there can be no question but that we shall have, under any circumstances, an opening for a fair quantity of foreign grain. The droUght has already had the injurious effect of raising materially the price of fodder, and it is fortunate that our manufacturing popula tion is comparatively well employed, and therefore can, in some measure, meet an increased outlay for food. We learn from Belgium that Messrs. Anderson and Sop • with, as a deputation from several capitalists, had a private interview last week with King Leopold relative to their pro posal for constructing a railroad from Entre-Sambe and Meuse. It is stated also in the Lloyd Cettois that the heads of a leading firm there have suddenly disappeared, leaving a reported deficit to the extent of from 300,000 f. to 400,000 f. The English securities open firmly to-day, and there is a fair business doing. The visit of the Emperor of Russia and of the King of Saxony is looked upon as favourable to the general peace of Europe, although reported to be unpleasant to France ; but some curiosity has been expressed to learn whether it be true that one of her Majesty's vessels has re ceived orders to proceed immediately across the Channel for Louis Philippe, and whether we are to have the novel meet ing of his Majesty with the Emperor. The statement is not credited. Consols are 991 to 991 for Transfer to-morrow, and 99i to 99; for the Account, being Saturday's best prices. Exchequer Bills are 70s. to 725. premium, and East India Bonds remain nominally at 925. The New Three-and-a-Half per:Cents. have been 1021 to 102; ; the Reduced 1011 to 102. The Three per Cents. 98; to 99. Bank Stock has been at 199 to 1991, and India Stock at 288. Spanish Bonds opened rather lower to-day, the accounts from Madrid relative to the Queen's health, and the state of the finances, however contradictory, being calculated to ex cite uneasiness. There is still an inclination to sell, and the Five per Cents. are 231 to 1, and the Three per Cents. 34 to 1. The Passive are 51 to #. Portuguese Converted Bonds have been marked 461, being steady. Mexican are firm at 35k, but dull. Chilian have been 1034, and Brazilian New 78. Belgian Five per Cents. are 1031; Danish, 88 to 89 ; Russian, 1191; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 64. There is rather a dull market for the Railway Shares, but prices are rather higher than on Saturday, for Great Western, Birmingham, Brighton, and South-Eastern. The French lines are very firm.
