1 ) 11tIT of the PUBLIC JOUTONALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTE R:DAT. GLOBE.—Agitation against the Cathol' is Charities 3equests Act continues to disturb the publ is mind in :Ireland. Unreasonable and hopeless as a ; :the oppo sition, the agitators seem determined th al; " small blame" shall rest with them if there be not at popular lemonstration against the measure. Thie Roman I Jatholic Prelates, who have consented to 'Lend their t issistance in carrying out its provisions, by accepting I he office of Commissioners, are denou ni ;ed with t pecial virulence, as though it were thou, Olt that vithout their aid the Act would have been an iemorial if the Government's inability to legislate for Ireland. Che marked jealousy with which the bulk of the Irish people view the measures of the prey ,ent Go • vernment, is one of the results of the is on rule • which successive Tory Administrations wer•a wont to exercise in that long-misgoverned countas a The mantle of office has fallen upon Sir R. Peet, or was rather seized by him. He must take nit. cone, quences of having undertaken the respo ( if office under circumstances of great, iif not in s armountable " difficulty." The good d weds or a is Government are regarded with st tspicicn. 1 'he evils perpetrated in Ireland by' former ory Ministers live after them. Tho peorie -whose memories vet retain a keen SeD.Se of tie se umerous injuries and insults they received from those Gwernments, of which they regard the present Ad ministration as the lineal representative—wila not be licve that anything really beneficial can ema mute from such a source. They, therefore, readily list ma to and adopt any representation which the wildest s leelaimer makes of whatever measure the Government of Si'- Robert Peel may introduce to Parliament, for the purpose of changing or regulating anything relating to their country. The Catholic Charities Act is, we thin a measure calculated to effect much good. By garaid ing against an abuse of the influence of that testly - office upon the minds of the laity in the paea veet „ f death, by which property may be appre ; /famed by bequest to the Church which would °thei't~ , isebe be queathed to their families, it throws pro' section around • them against an influence which mi ,ght be used to • their immense injury. Under the, 'regulations pre aacribed by the Act, and the su'ectintendence of the Commissioners nominated to s . a?erintend its operation, •ac well-founded objectior could be raised to its ob jects, or the way in wl -. eh those objects were to he attained. The mos". venerable of the Reinan Ce tholic Prelates h a lv e consented to act as Commis sioners. Mis s of itself, would, under ordinary cir cumstances, lae taken by the laity of any communion as a pledge that no direct or covert design was en tertained by the framers of the measure tegainst the interests of their Church. This confidence - would, doubtless, have been cherished by the Irish people with 'reference to this measure, had there not previc usly existed a deep prejudice and inex tinguishable hate—which they, as by instinct, e:helish—aagainst a Tory Government. Had this Ac fa, which is denounced as a combinatit m of all the elf ments of evil, been introduced and pa ssed by a Govarnment in whose administration the Irish people •!p0:1: iessed confidence, from an experience of the fair aiad equitable disposition with which the functions of 'Government were exercised by it, there would have been no opposition against its objects worthy of notice. WI e shall not readily forget the remark of r,n Irish Member of Parliament—who, while he avetwed its xistence, deplored the prevalence of the ;belting, as a h , arrier to the accomplishment of the good whi ch Sir ',obert Peel might be disposed to effect among tE em :—" If a Tory Government," said the gentleman al hided to, " could coin the paving-stones of Dublin irt 0 sovereigns ; and having done so we re to dis tribute them by handfulls among the people, they w atild hurl them back in their faces asith disdain. So' deep is their hatred of everything, however go , xl, which bears the name, or camel forth from th , s hands of Toayism." We find an exemplifica . tion of this wadying dislike to Sir Robert Peel's Government generally, and the determination to reject even F,ood at his hands, which the Irish people - evince by t'neir opposition to the present measure in the speoci of a Mr. T. W. Skelley, at a meeting consisti erg of several thousand persons, held near •Drogb e , da on Sunday last. The sins of the leading inemb ers of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet, and of their suppc irters—their insulting expressions, and their irritf sting and injurious acts, are set before the people, and are appealed to as evidences, showing the utter improbability of anything calculated to "pacify the Irish. Church, or to protect the laity of its communion." We adduce the passages we extract from this speech, not for the purpose of expressing approval of the senti ments it enunciates, or the spirit which it breathes, but of showing that the " difficulties" which the present 'Government will experience in carrying out, even remedial measures are partly derived from the con duct of their Tory predecessors ; but are principally caused by the dishonest and dangerous means which they em ployed to create prejudice against the late Ministry- on account of its Irish policy. In oppa,ition, they so,wed to the wind—in office, they reap the whirla r ina "W to aro the proposers of this Bill ? They are the men who hold the reins of power—they are the men to whom the Government of this country is trafortu- Zately committed. And bow did they obtain that power ? Was it not by creating and fostering an anti-Irish and an anti-Catholic feeling u' England ? 'Was it not by pouring out the most foul, filthy, and profligate abuse against the ministers of our religion, and by making a mockery of its most sacred ceremonies ?—(Cries of "Hear, hear,') Oh ! yes, the adorable sacrifice of the mass w9.s then an 'ldola trous mummery,' and the men whom they have lately been pleased to recognise under the titles of the ' Arch bishops," Bishops,' and Priests' of Ireland, were then designated by our charitable rulers as surplieed ruf fians," a demon priestbood,' and other such complimen tary appellations—whilst the people were denominated as filthy and felonious rabble,' and as aliens is blood, in language, and in religion,' by him who occupies the • highest official situation in the empire —the Lord Chan cellorship of England.—(Groans.)" The speaker had touched a chord in the hearts of his audience to which their memories responded. Their cheers, and other audible demonstrations of sympathy, showed how completely they entered into the argu ment and its proofs. lie proceeded : " I ask you, do you think for a moment that the pre sent Government would introduce any measure having for its object the purification of the Catholic Church and the protection of its laity ? Do you consider that they • ho have ever been the professed enemies of your creed and country, care one jot for the welfare of your reli gion, or are at all anxious conceanina your charitable in • AA 1 A believee ilia, - it quirete - greaCtift Of •• pOliticidf46ight to see what 'their object really is. 'They wani •t i divide the priest hood from the peop'.e ; and shall they succeed in doing aft ?—(Cries of • ever.')" The agitation against the Charitable Bequests Act is but a neva demonstration of an old dislike to .Teryism, however it may change and modify itself to Meet the changed circumstances and milder spirit of teem age. Repeal is the same spirit working under :another form. We offer no suggestion as to the way in which Sir Robert Peel can best deal with this " difficulty." It exists. It is for him to surmount it, or retire, acknowledging his inability to conquer i• t, as he may be influenced by a love of office which i 'nduces him to retain the government at all hazards ; c r by an elevated patriotism, which sacrifices self to p romote and secure the peace of one's country. ADVANCE in the PRICE OF IRON. JiIRMLNVHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—To-day the quarterly meeting of the iron-masters of this district was held in the Town-hall, and was most numerously and respectably attended, indeed the proprietors of all the gre: Lt. 'houses, or their representatives, were present, and agr , 3ed to en advance of 1/. per ton over the price of last -quarter. After the last meeting, the leading mas ters 'in South Staffordshire reduced the price 1/. per ton, con trary to the general expectation of the trade, and no am all surprise was felt at so extraordinary a proceeding. as the demand was then brisk, and no apparent necessity for the reduction. Since then, however, the demand has bees extremely brisk ; orders have come in all dime rims, and the prospect of trade was declared so good to day, as to fully justify a rise of 1Z per ton over the price .of last quarter. I am exceedingly happy to say that this steady improvement in the trade has been productive of immediate advantage to the labouring classes. They are now well employed, and, in many places, at a good ad iron - vance of wages. Th e d eman d f o r railroad is . very considerabl e ; b ut t h e, genera ll y i m p rove d s t a t e o f the trade is the main cause of this favourable state of our staple manufacture. The pigs are at from 3/. to 4/. Ear from rd. to 61. ss. per ton. Tho Lord Bishop of Lichfield has appointed the Yew. D. N. •Wstton, M.A., to the curacy of Perry Barr, Ila• idsworth:' l - • AN 41.1;DACIOUS ALSETIOOD.—A lie, which only done paper in Dublin, the Monitor, could be found base 'enough to adopt and circulate, has been sent abroad in - the hope of arresting, even for a moment, the general and determined opposition to the Bequests Bill. A most clumsy lie, indeed, it is, and does no credit to the inge nuity of the inventors. It is painful to have to add, which we do on the authority of the Packet of last night, that the Rev. Mr. Carroll, of Westland-row, assisted in propagating it from the pulpit of that chapel on bunday last 'Tis but a story got up for, or per haps by, the Castle. Three peasants of the county of a riniegrary conspiring to murder Dr. Murray ! The tale - rest% on this circumstance alone, as we learn from the Post of yesterday evening :—A Mr. linaresbo rough, a magistrate residing near Mitchelstown, in the county of Cork, :got an anonymous note, saying that a plot was formed by some Tipperary peasants to assassi nate Dr. Murray. This note he forwarded to his Grace, and, on the authority of this anonymous document, one of Dr. Murray's priests ascends his pulpit on Sunday fast, and publishes to his affrighted bearers that the life of the Archbishop was conspired against. We cannot believe he did this by permission of his Grace, and there fore we cannot suppress an opinion of his being sadly wanting in discretion. The writer of the anonymous note was evidently one of the Castle servants, either Catholic or Protestant, and the object of it to create mpathy for, as it were, a persecuted Prelate, and thus direct public indignation from the channel in which it pow runs. A poor ruse!—Dublin Pilot. rn! SUN, LON noN, SATURDAY LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 10. (Special Sittings at Nisi Prius in the City, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) NEWALL V. WEBSTER. The Court has been sitting yesterday and to-day for the purpose of hearing the above case, which was a suit to recover damages for an alleged infringement of a patent for making wire-rope in a peculiar manner. The case for the defence occupied the who!e of the day. SECONDARIES' COURT, Jan. 10. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER). FOX AND ANOTHER V. COCK. The plaintiffs in this action are members of the medi cal profession, and proprietors of a lunatic asylum near Bristol ; the action was brought to recover 1201. for board, washing, lodging, and medical attendance for the defendant's wife. Dr. Fox, brother of the plaintiff, and superintendent of the asylum, deposed that the defendant placed his wife in the plaintiff's charge, in September, 1843, in which she continued up to the present time. The defendant, on being applied to for payment some months since, ex pressed his inability to pay, and likewise that it was in e•onvenient to take his wife away, in consequence of which this action was brought. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 119/. 10s. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) . BQW-STREET. An application. sv , ..:Mad;;;diepa;t of a person of the name of Lewis, n tailor, for a summons against a person Ivho had bou -, :lit a coat of him, for which hi refused to pay. A7sficant, on taking the coat home, was unwilling to give : .t up without payment, but it was taken from hive . oy force, and he was given in charge to a policeman or attempting to withhold the coat which he had sold. Mr. HALL said that applicant had an action for false imprisonment against this person. He could grant a summons on account of the taking of the coat from ap plicant, if he had any witness to the transaction. Applicant's solicitor-said that applicant was the only witness. Mr. HALL said that he could not grant a summons un der the circumstances. There was an Act of Parlia ment by which he was prevented from taking the prose cutor's evidence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Casbird was charged with robbing his employers; .Messrs. Rippon and Burton, of Wells -street, Oxtord street, ironmongers, in whose service he had been for the last seven years. A Britannia metal tea-pot was found : , eereted in a part of the premises, evidently with the in tention of being taken away by some one belonging to the establishment. The prisoner, as he was leaving the premises last evening, was stopped, and the stolen pro perty found in his possession.—Committed for trial. LAMBETH. Mr. Southby, firework-manufacturer, applied to the Hon. Mr. Norton, to solicit his interference to prevent the erection of a varnish manufactory near his pre mises. Mr. Southby said, if the building were per mitted, it would be highly dangerous, and a serious loss i,f life might ensue from the combustible materials. The building was within fifty feet of his premises, there was also a great deal of timber in an adjoining yard, and, should an explosion take place, the consequences would be frightful. Mr. NORTON said the person had clearly no right to erect such a building, and asked if there was a public way ? Mr. Southby stated there was. Mr. Norton immediately sent English, an officer of the Court, with the applicant, to inform the person that he roust discontinue the building, and that under the 54th clause of the New Building Act, he was liable to a ,enalty of 501. per day, every day the business was car ried on, and in default of payment, was liable to be sent to the House of Correction for six calendar months with hard labour. these fruit-sellers were in the habit of doing the same as the prisoner. The poor woman, in her defence, said she had no other means to get a living for herself and family. Mr. GREENWOOD informed her that she must not do so. She was subject to a penalty of 40s. or im prisonment, and she must promise not to do so in future. She promised not to repeat the " offence" in future, and was discharged. MAI?YLIS-BOIVE. AALEGED CRIY• CON. AND ASSAULT.—Thursday, Mr. Francis Tress, a coal-merchant, residing at No :19, Portman-place, Edgware-road, was charged before Mr. Long with having violently assaulted his wife. Complainant stated that on the same morning she was visited in the parlour by a medical gentleman, who had been in the habit of attending the family for years, and that while they were in conversation defendant entered the room, when he directly flew into a great passion, and declared that inter eourse of an improper nature had taken place between her and the professional person alluded to. The latter denied most strongly the truth of the allegation, gni begged to be allowed to say a few words in ex p'anation, hut defendant refused to hear him, and ordered him out of the house. Complainant added that after the gentleman had left, defendant looked her in the apartment, and continued for some time to heat and o'herwise eat her in a very unmerciful manner. She cried " murder," and " police," as loud as she was able, and at length assistance arrived. Mary Perrott stated that hearing cries she knocked at the door and was let in by defendant; he had sworn he would murder the complainant, upon the lower part of whose persel there was much blood. Mr. LONG (to defendant)—What is your answer to this charge of assaulting your wife ? Defendant—l have long been upon the best of terms with the gentle man. I saw his phaeton standing at my door this morning, and on going into the parlour and observing him on the couch with my wife, a portion of his dress being at the time disarranged, I, before he had an oprortunity of adjusting thl same, flew at him, collared him, and pushed him out of the place. De fendant further said that he was quite positive as to .the guilt of his wife in the present instance, and added, that he had upon a former occasion had strong reasons for accusing her of being on terms of toe great intimaey with a Lieutenant. He denied having assaulted her in the violent way described. Complainant declared that the suspicions enter taioed against her by her husband were entirely desti tuts of foundation. Defendant entered into security for his keeping the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, but more particularly towards his wife. for the next six months, SOUTHWARK. William Compton, a marine-store dealer,' residing at Star-corner, Bermondsey, was brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with violating the person of Jane Matthews, a girl thirteen years of age. Mr. Roberts, the solicitor for the prosecution, de tailed the circumstances attending the alleged outrage, and afterwards called the complainant, a very inte resting-looking girl, who stated that she had lately gone to live in the service of a Mrs. Baker, at Ber mondsey ' • that on last Tuesday week the prisoner called on her mistress in the evening, and sent out for some gin and peppermint, of which they all partook, the prisoner urging her (the complainant) to drink off a glass, saying it would not hurt her. The prisoner seemed to have been drinking before, and her mistress having expressed a wish that he would leave the house, he consented to go if Mrs. Baker would let her (complainant) proceed with him to the end of the street on the way to Star-corner, and that he would send iser back again. Mrs. Baker having acquiesced, she (complainant) walked by the side of the prisoner to the end of the street, and was in the act of turning back when he caught her by the arm, and insisted she should go home with him. She refused, but the pri mmer forced her along the street by the arm, and when he got her into his house he then produced a bottle of gin and made her drink a glass of it. She then tried to leave the house, and ran into the pas sage for the purpose, when the prisoner ran after her, seized her round the waist, and carried her up stairs to his bed-room, in spite of her struggles ; and when he got her there, he threw her upon the bed, and when she screamed out he then struck her a blow on the nose, and threatened her if she was not quiet. The complainant added that she became insensible, and when she recovered she found the prisoner in bed by her side. She went on to state that, on finding the situation she was in, she got up without molestation from the prisoner, he entreating her not to divulge what had taken place, and endeavouring to purchase her silence by offering her money and some articles of female dress out of his shop. She, however, re jected his offers, and took an opportunity of running out of the house, while he was engaged with a cus tomer in the shop. Mr. COTTINGHAM perceiving that the complainant' eves were both discoloured and swollen, on asking her the cause, she replied that it was from the blow given her by the prisoner while she was struggling with him. She further stated that, on getting out of the prisoner's room, in her hurry, she found that she had put on one of his shoes and one of her own, and when she got home she informed her mistress of all that had happened to her. That person, however, advised her not to mention the circumstances to her mother, and she therefore concealed the facts from her parents until within the last few days. She told all that had occurred on the occasion, and thus led to the prisoner's apprehension. 31r. Odling, the surgeon, was examined, and his evidsnce went to prove that the complainant had been recently violated. Mrs. Baker, the complainant's mistress, stated that on the evening in question the girl returned home in a state of apparent fright, and communicated what had happened to her; and that she (witness) expressed that it would be better for her not to mention the cir cumstances at home. Mr. COTTINGIIAM, in strong terms, reprobated the conduct of Mrs. Baker. The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, declined saying anything at present in answer to the charge, and he was remanded until Wednesday. John Mahon, a youth, was brought before Mr. Train, charged with another (not in custody) with stealing a firkin of butter from a cart in Tooley-street, the property of Mr. Cook, of Lambeth. From the evidence of a lad named Smith, it appeared that ovithOorecxdingiday, i wlgle itt Dean-.streeirTiieler street; his - attention 'was arrested by seeingthe prisoner Tind tine - trier fad . IfiThing about the front of the shep of the complainant, at which a cart laden with firkins of butter was standing. At length witness saw one of them jump into the cart and shoulder one of the firkins, with which he hurried away, when the former gave informa tion of the circumstance, and the prisoner was pursued. When he was stopped he said that he was employed to carry the firkin, and saying those words, he dashed it at the complainant's head and ran away, but being fol lowed was secured.—He was remanded until his compa nion is taken into custody. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT SALT-HILL. LATEST PARTICULARS. SLOUGH, THURSDAY EVENING.—WhiIe the jury were deliberating upon their verdict yesterday afternoon, the prisoner, who was in an ante-room, asked more than once, " How king do you think they will be now ?" Upon being told they would probably be half an hour longer, ke betrayed great mental agitation. On entering the room to be informed by the coroner of the verdict of th, jury, he recovered himself, and heard the purport of the verdict with great apparent coolness. Indeed his fortitude while he was in the jury-room never once ap peared to forsake him, listening with considerable earnestness and attention to the application made by his counsel for the restoration of his watch and the money found in his possession. On being taken back to his private room, at the Three Tuns, he became grestly agitated, and was at his own request supplied with brandy and water. His solicitor, Mr. Bevan, of the Old Jewry, London, and another professional gentleman, had a long private interview with him previously to his leaving for Aylesbury Gaol. A large concourse of persons bad assembled outside of the house, to have a view of the prisoner on his de parture ; and it was with difficulty that the police were enabled to protect him from the threatened attacks of the mob, as he walked to the vehicle that was to convey him to prison. Their yells and hootings greatly discon certed him, and he appeared terribly alarmed for his personal safety. Upon arriving at Amersham, a distance of fourteen miles, and about half-way between Salt-hill and Aylesbury, the prisoner alighted at the Griffin Inn. Here he partook of tea and a mutton chop, of which he ate heartily. He scarcely opened his lips during the whole of the journey. Once he started up, however, and said, with considerable earnestness of manner, " I can't think what the people made such an uproar about at Suit-hill, as we were coming away. Oh, dear !" Upon arriving at Aylesbury gaol, a few minutes before eight o'clock, and on being handed over to the custody of Mr. Sheriff, the governor, he requested to be accommodated with /a comfortable bed and a room to himself. On being told, however, that no relaxation in the discipline of the prison would be allowed in his case, and that he must submit to the same treatment as the other prisoners, he heaved a deep sigh, but made no re mark. He slept in his clothes, merely taking off his great coat. The room assigned to him is in what is called the old gaol, in which he was locked in for the night by himself, having first undergone the usual personal search. This morning there was a visible alteration in his ap pearance, looking haggard and careworn. The assizes for the county of Bucks will take place in March next. - The funeral of the late unfortunate Sarah Hart took place this afternoon, the mournful procession leaving Bath-place at a quarter past two o'clock, for the church yard of Farnham Royal, in which parish her d ea th oc curred. Her son, an interesting little boy of about five years of age, attended as chief mourner, led by the hand by Mrs. Moss, and followed by Mrs. Ashlee, leading her little girl. A great number of persons followed the corpse, It being supposed (but whether correctly or not it is at present impossible to ascertain), that Sarah Hart is not the right name of the deceased, the coffin plate bore no inscription, not even. " the date of death." Not one TTIAMES POLICE. THE ROBBERIES IN THE Docits.—Matthew Clark, James Hurley, Samuel Contelo, William Johnson, and Benjamin Aston, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with stealing 147 pounds of leaf tobacco, the property of the London Dock Company, from their premises, on Friday night last, and on suspicion of being concerned in other robberies and attempts at :obbery in the London and St. Katherine Docks. Clark and Hurley were before Mr. Ballantine on Sa turday, and were remanded. The other prisoners were apprehended on Wednesday night, in Church street, near the Pavilion Theatre, by William Judge, an inspector of Thames Police. With the exception of Clark, who is about 35 years of age, the prisoners are stout young fellows, who had been for some time known to the police. Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, attended on the part of the London Dock Company, to prosecute the five men at the bar. Michael Riley, a watchman in the London Dock, stated that he saw Clark and Hurley in conversation on the swivel-bridge of the dock, between the two tobacco warehouses, on Saturday last. On seeing him approach they separated, and Hurley joined another man. He had seen Cantelo, Aston, V Hurley, and Clark, repeatedly together during the last eighteen months in Rosemary-lane, and also at the Kettle and Drum public-house. He was in the to bacco warehouse on Friday, and saw the doors closap and fastened at four o'clock, when all was safe. _ Clark and Hurley, who I.vere very boisterous and impudent throughout the investigation, alternately abused and cross-examined Riley, and said he was swearing falsely, and did not know their names when he came to the prison to identify them. Mr. BALIANTINE said the witness knew their per sons, and had seen them often ; and although he would allow the prisoners every latitude in putting ques tions, he would not tolerate any abase or nonsense from them. James Tyler, gate-keeper at the Wapping-gate, stated that he saw Clark and Hurley enter the dock together on Friday afternoon. James Swinland, dock constable, whose evidence has been already published, deposed to the apprehen sion of Clark in the eastern dock on Friday afternoon, at five o'clock, and he delivered to him two candles, some lucifers, and a key, which the prisoner said was a rum 'un. The witness, in answer to questions by Mr. Humphreys, said there were two persons walking in advance of Clark, and that he knew Johnson, who wits formerly a labourer in the London Dock. John William Judge, ironmonger, of No. 5, John son-street, said he was the nephew of Joshua Judge, Thames police inspector, who lived in the same house. On Friday night last he saw persons loitering about the dock wall, and h. saw them go into the house in Johnson-street, No. 3. He watched them for some time, and saw them pass and repass, and carry bun d!es or bags into the house. In consequence of what he saw h gave information to his unAlr;The , Spector, and went to -V)el. About two _d_tbree o'clock: in the morning he heard something heavy fall from thedock wall in Broad-street, at the end of Johnson street. Inspector Joshua Judge was in company with a nephew, Henry Isaac Judge, on S tturday morning early, and saw two persons with caps enter the house, No. 3, Johnson-street. They came out again soon afterwards, sad got away. At eight o'clock he en tered the house, and in an upper room found Hurley stretched on the floor in front of the fire-place, with his head resting on a basket. On searching the room he discovered seven bags, containing about 1471b5. of leaf tobacco. Mr. John Clements, principal of the London Dock police, repeated his evidence of Saturday, with some additions. The tobacco warehouse had been entered by one or more persons, who must lave secreted themselves within the dock on Friday night, and who tot upon the roof, lifted one of the lantern lights, and f1.,-Acended into the warehouse. The robbers made their exit through the same opening, and descended it'o the street, by means of a rope ladder, wh;ch, with the gear attached, he found at an angle of the dock wall, formed by Tench-street and Bird-street. The wall generally was thirty feet high, but at the angle it was only sixteen feet, and the height was broken by the dome of a water-closet outside. He traced tobacco leaves from the top of the warehouse to the house in Johnson-street. Other witnesses were examined at great length, who made out a strong circumstantial case against all the prisoners. Mr. Humphreys said that Mr. Clements, who was a most respectable officer, had assured him he had very important evidence to produce, and it would defeat the ends of justice to disclose it at present. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should remand all the prisoners till Thursday next, and on that day he should expect the case to be completed. CLERKENWELL. LYNCH Lew.—Mrs. Barbara Cowie, a respectable 10,,king young Scotchwoman, was charged by Jane Knight, a lodger in the same house in IVellington square, St. Pancras, with having assaulted her. The prosecutor was charged at this Court a few (lays ago with having concealed the birth of her ille rvirimate child, and a report was circulated that she had murdered it. The prisoner, however, was dis charged, and the excitement of the mob was so great towards her that she proceeded to her residence in a cabriolet, whilst she was hooted and groaned at, and called a murderer. On her arrival at the house where she lodged the prisoner struck her a violent blow on the face, and she became so ill that she required medical attendance ever since, and was unable to leave her room in consequence of the exasperation of the neighbours. Mr. GREENWOOD said that the prosecutor having been acquitted of the charge preferred against her, she was entitled to protection, and he fined the prisoner 1/. 10s., or a fortnight's imprisonment. FRUITSELLING IN THE ST&EET.—A poor Irish woman, named Sullivan, was charged with obstructing the public footway by carrying a basket of oranges for sale. Police-constable Morley, 163 N, said that at three o'clock that afternoon the prisoner was in High street, Islington, carrying a basket of oranges on the pavement. He cautioned her, but she persisted, and he took her into custody. Mr. GREENWOOD inquired whether she placed her basket on the footway ? Policeman — No; she carried it along—she did not put it on the pavement. Police-sergeant Allen said that great numbers of MORNING, JANUARY 11, 130, of her relatives, if she have any, have up to this period made any inquiries respecting her. Her two orphan children have been kindly received into the house of her next door neighbour, Mrs. Ashlee. It would appear that the unfortunate woman was ex tremely short of money at the time of her death, several pawnbrokers' duplicates of recent dates having been found amongst h-r papers, and her little bills—baker, grocer, &c., due at the quarter, as well as her quarter's rent to Christmas Vast, being unpaid. Hitherto she had always been most punctual in her payments. The following is a copy of the only document found amongst the papers of the deceased, in the handwriting of the accused, signed with his initials, and written in a small neat hand : " See Genesis, 4 chapter and part of 7 verse ; 1-salms, 1 chapter and 4 chapter,2d to sth verses, and 103 chapter and 107 chapter, 6 to 22 verses ; 1 chapter, 16 to 13 verses ; Matthew, 6 chapter, 14 and 15 verses, and 31 to 33 verses ; Romans, 12 chapter ; Ephesians, 4 and 5 chapters. _ * The word men is generally used, but the sense is meant for both men and women, because women could not be properly put ; and we must, in reading the Scrip tures, not expect to be satisfied with so doing, unless we endeavour to seek in our own minds for that spirit in which they were written for our instruction.

Downing appeared for the prosecution, and said, the prosecutor, Mr. Carson, was a respect al le merchant of Dublin, and owner of the barque Alhambra, then lying in the harbour of Crookhaven, who appeared with great regret to prosecute the de fendant, who was up to a very recent period the master of his vessel; but he felt that it was a duty he owed to the commercial world, to show persons in the situation of masters of vessels, that they could not take advantage of the opportunities which their situation afforded them to plunder their employers. The charge against Mr. Thompson was for larceny of a quantity of canvass, bags, coals, and pork, at the Island of Ichaboe, to which place he commanded the vessel from Liverpool, where she was provided with every necessary of life for a nine months voyage, everything in the way of comfort being provided by Mr. Carson, end had it not been for the manner in which Mr. Thompson had treated the crew, he (Mr. D.) could say on Mr. Carson's part that he migh t have,heen induced to forego the prosecution, but when he came down from Dublin, and found 20 men out of a crew of 25 unable to crawl from their hammocks, in consequence of gross and negligent conduct, he naturally felt strongly upon the matter, and was it not for his humane and unremit ting attention many of them must have lost their lives, and when the defendant was asked by Mr. Carson for an explanation of his conduct, his reply was, that he would do as he pleased with the ship, and that Mr. Carson should not interfere. To ascertain if a mas ter of a vessel could act in such a manner the com plaint was brought. Mr. Carson was then examined by Mr. Downing, and stated that he was sole owner of the barque Alhambra, 350 tons burden ; that the defendant was employed by him at 121. per month • that he supplied the vessel at Liverpool with everything necessary for her voyage, and amongst these was a quantity of canvass, 600 bags, a quantity of pork, and a quantity of cods, Khich were not in the vessel then, and that Ile did not give any directions or assent to their disposal. The mate of the vessel was then examined, and stated that the several articles were taken from the vessel at Ichaboe by persons under the directions of the defendant, and for which he received money and a bill for 601. The defendant, having been called upon for his de fence, stated that he was disappointed in not having a solicitor attend on his behalf, and refused to make any defence, save that he denied the jurisdiction of the Court to inquire into the matter at all, it being only cognisable to the Court of Admiralty. The Chairman asked Mr. Downing if he could show that the Court had authority. Mr. Downing—l did not think it would be neces sary to show you any authority on the subject ; but it so happens that I have one in point, the King v. Maden, where the master of a vessel committed larceny on six casks of butter at Sheep's Head, in Berehaven, county Cork, and was subsequently tried for the offence at the Winchester assizes in England. Mr. Gall way— I was on the jury of a captain of a vessel tried at Cork, about two years ago, for an offence committed in the Mediterranean, for which he was transported. Defendant—Well, I'll make no defence. Chairman—Mr. Downing, we'll hear the case of the mate against Captain Thompson before we decide on this. The mate was then sworn, and stated that on the 9th of December, about a hundred miles off the Mizen head, the captain being drunk, seized him by the arm and called for a cutlass or sword to cut him down, which, however, was not given to him, and he seized on a carving knife and put it up to complainant's mouth, and swore he would run him through. The captain having been again called on for his defence, refused to make any, and again contended the court had no jurisdiction to commit him. The Court having required to see under what Act they had authority, Mr. Downing referred them to the sth and 6th of Wm. IV., chap. 19, sec. 38, under which section they had authority to act had the offence been even com mitted on the sea in any port of the world. The magistrates conferred for a few moments, and the Chairman said, it was with great pain he had to deliver the judgment of the court, where a person holding so responsible a situation, and of so respect able appearance was concerned. In the case of assault the judgment was that the defendant do pay the sum of 21. 103. to the Merchant Seamen's Hospital, and in default of payment to be imprisoned one month, and in the first case the informations tendered would be sent returnable to the Bantry sessions or Cork Assizes as the defendant wished, but bail would be received if tendered. The defendant refused to give bail or to pay the fine, and committals having been made out, he was committed to gaol. EXPORTATION OF. DRAWBACR.— toi•dit‘tif the treasury having had under attentive consideration the representations which have been made ey the several exporters of paper, of the inconvenience sustained by them from an enforcement of the order which requires an examination, by the Customs' officers, of all paper previously to being shipped for exportation, their Lordships are of opinion that it will be advisable to modify the order under which the examination of that article for export was placed upon its present footing, and have given directions, on condition that all parties intending to export paper in future, give notice to the Excise officers, who will attend to take account of the packing, in the same manner as in the case of the article plate-glass for shipment—viz., that such packages shall be exported without further examination, under certifi cate of the Excise, unless the Customs' officers, on their being offered for shipment, shall have good reason t o anysuspect,fn rad i fronni information or otherwise, th a t th ere i s the transaction. The shipping searchers are also directed, by this order of the Treasury, to attend with particularity to the size, description of', and marks on the packages ; so that, if any package be offered for exportation without such certificate from the Excise of its having been examined and packed in the presence and under the supervision of their officers, they are in each such instance to adhere to the existing regulation of examining the contents of each case fully, previous to shipment. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.— The condition of the frame-work knitters engaged in making stockings, gloves, drawers, and shirts, for such is now nearly the whole extent of this once extensive trade in the counties of Nottingham and Derby, is inconceivably watched. We learn that a newly dis covered process in making stockings, by three separate divisions of labour, by three separate hands, from three distinct frames, is fast superseding the other methods of manufacture. The agitation of the question of frame-rent has already been in some instances detri mental to 'the interests of the workmen ; as some of the hosiers and masters, affecting to be alarmed at the re solution of a public meeting recommending the journey men to keep a correct account of the frame-rent stopped; have declined to take the frame-rent, but have, instead therefore, reduced the wages in such a ratio, that in some cases the bands have had deducted nearly double the amount of the former charge for frame rent. The drawer branch, so important to this district, continues very much depressed. The silk branches are mended. In the silk glove branch, many of the hosiers charge the frame-cent by the dozens produced, which is tantamount to an abolishment of "rent," and being nothing else than , an abatement of wages. The hopes that have arisen from the invention of making scolloped edgings, having again aroused speculation, upon this interesting subject all is in motion, but very small quaitities of scolloped laces have yet been produced, but when they are extended, there is every reason to expect that the patentees will strenuously urge their patent right. The warp lace trade is gradually im proving in all its branches. There is, however, no dearth of Lands, the state of the other descriptions of the hosiery and lace manufacture causing a sort of run upon this branch, as the great body of workmen can work at both manufactures, which are considered but as various branches of the same trade.--Nottingham Review.

MENT.—EXTRAORDINARY CURL—Henry Hill, now a mman to Lord 8., was lately discharged from the Duke of D.'s iervice in consequence of his having large scorbutic blotches all over his bands and face, to his great disfigurement. For twelve months he was treated by his master's medical attendants, but to no purpose ; and the case was at last declared incurable, and he was discharged. The poor fellow then, as a forlorn hope, commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which effectually eradicated the disease from his blood in less than three weeks.—Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised world. • • PKICES SHARES .14 t,ANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE ANI) OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.

CORN EXCHANGE. Full average supplies of English Wheat have been re ceived up to our market since Moseley ; hence the show of samples of that description of GraM here was good. The attendance of buyers was small, owing to which the demand was extremely heavy, and it was only the finest qualities that found purchasers at Monday's prices. Foreign Wheat was a mere drug, but not cheaper. In bonded Corn we heard of no sales. The supply of Barley was rather extensive ; hence, the trade was decidedly dull, and the rates had a downward tendency. The Malt trade was inactive, and prices were with difficulty supported. Upwards of 32,000 quarters of Oats having come in from Ireland, the Oat trade was very dull. Beans, Peas, and Flour without alteration. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Earley. Oats.
