FROM THE MORNING PAPERS •F SATURDAY. TIMES.—The plan for reducing the interest of the Three. and a f llalf per Cents., announced last night by the Chancellor -of the Exchequer, was received with an unanimous approval which really appears aimed incomprehensible. The public and the public's creditor—stock-holder and tax.payer—appear equally - well pleased with the terms of their bargain. Such, at least, we may presume to be the case, when in the House of Commons—a lady in which all may safely be supposed contributors to the na tional revenue, and most receivers of some amount of dividends— mot a single voice was raised in depreciation, however modified, of Mr. Goulburn's measure. We do not, indeed, quite apprehend the force of Mr. Baring's sentiment, that this reduction "would be to other States a useful lesson that good faith to the public cre ditor is not only an honourable but even an economical policy." This reduction of interest may be perfectly honest, but it seems difficult to claim for it the high merit of honourable generosity which Mr. Baring finds there, and still more impracticable to establish between its eco nomy and its good faith that particular relation of cause and effect which he seems to discover. The only faint whisper of dis content arose from Mr. Blewitt, who surmised that " the dissen tients might be found more numerous than the Chancellor of the Exchequer seemed to expect." Perhaps our City Intelligence of yesterday may serve to relieve his apprehensions. After the Go -vernment's intention to reduce had been publicly announced, and the particular terms which were to be proposed not uncertainly conjectured in the City, the Three.and.a-Half per Cents. conti nued, and we may now fairly expect they will continue, to com mas:el the price of about 102%. It will be indeed remarkable if many stockholders are found of minds so peculiarly constituted as to demand from Mr. Goulburn 1001. for what they might sell in the market fur 1021. 10s. Meantime, the public has to congra. tulate itself on an immediate saving of 625,0001., and an ultimate we of a million and a quarter per annum. "It is an ill wind that blows nobody good ;" and so this gain may be taken in pa 4 compensation of the stagnation and lack of commercial enterprise which hail made the coming reduction practicable. ADVERTISk.R.—It will be seen from our Parliamentary re port, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night explained the mode in which he intends to effect the the reduction of . the rate of interest on the Three-and a-Half per Cents., which he announced on Wednesday. The reduction is to three and a quarter, with a guarantee that no further reduction will be made for ten years 'to come. After the lapse of that period a further reduction of an other quarter will take place, with a guarantee that no further re duction will be made until the year 1874. This is, perhaps, the I,est mode in which the operation could have been performed. Though the saving to the public will be about 1,250,0001. per an num, the reduction is so slight and so gradual, that the annuitants will got sensibly feel it. There is a general impression, which, we trust, the event will confirm, that the saving effected by the con version of the Three.and-a.Halfs will not only enable, but dispose Sir Robert Peel td dispense with the income-tax, when the three years have expired. HERALD.—The inveteracy of the Opposition to Ministers and theirmeasures, in which some of our Contemporaries indulge, leads them into laughable blunders. Thus the Chronicle yesterday ob. jected to the proposed reduction of the Three.and.a.Half per Cents. ; " not that the Ministers take advantage of the [Money'] Market, but that-they have made the market in order to take ad. vantage of it." This great discovery—this ascription of a miracu. lons power over the Money Market to Mr. Goulburn, will rather astonish Lombard-street and the discount brokers. But how does the reader think that the Chancellor of the Exchequer " has made the market ?" By " secret and mysterious operations," we are told in one sentence; and by " restrictive laws," it is further explained in the next. How " restrictive laws " can be " secret and mysterious operations " we are not instructed ; but we let the neutralising inconsistency pass, to inqnire what " restrictive Isms" Sir Robert Peel has procured the enactment of ? Every sa t momical law he has proposed to Parliament has been for the relaxation of restrictions ; and so far from the effect of his legis lation being, as is alleged, to " cripple manufactures," it has had the very opposite result. The Annual Trade and Navigation accounts were presented the other day to Parliament, and they exhibit a very remarkable increase during the last year, in the exportation of our " crippled " manufactures. The declared value of British produce and manufactures exported in 1842 was 40,785,3501. ; in 1843 it rose to 44,720,5631. ; and the greater part of this increase is in " crippled" cotton and woollen goods. In 1843 we exported 16,248,7591. worth of cottons against 13,907,8841. in 1842, and in ISO again we exported 6,794,432/. worth of woollens against 5,485,4)451. in the year 1842. In all the leading articles of import tt here was also an increase of consumption last year; in coffee, enar, tea, tobacco, wine, and tallow, the augmentation was consi derable, and the tonnage of our shipping employed in foreign trade likewise increased. If, then, Ministers have been "mysteriously and secretly" preparing for a reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., it has beef, by extending and not by " crippling" our manufactures. Mr. Goulburn simply takes advantage of that which, as a wise financier, he is bound to take advantage of—the permanent low rate of interest caused by circumstances over which he has no more control than the Chronicle. Had he undertaken the reduction last year, be might have been accused of seizing on a temporary depreciation in the value of money; he has waited until a time when further postponement would be a neglect of pub lic interests, and that which really gravels our Contemporary is the certainty that he will be successful, and the knowledge that 11:s success will still further increase the surplus revenue Sir Robert Peel promised, and has given to the country. But the public will find in our Parliamentary reports Mr. Goulburn's own full and con clusive explanation, the terms of the reduction, and a comprehen sive view of the whole subject.

Immediately an engine, with a party of firemen, under the charge of Mr. Fo g o, the fore manovas started to the scene ; and the news having been forwarded. to the other stations in the metropolis, in a short time the County. Fire-office engine, and another from the Waterloo-road station, were likewise dispatched. Upon their arrival the fire proved to have originated in the resi dence known as Sutherland House, belonging to Mrs. E. V.

COURT OF CHANCERY, March 9. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and heard appeals to-day. BONSOR V. COX.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was heard before the Court a short time since. The parties in the case had carried on the busi ness of bankers at Oxford, and the question in the case was whether John Cox, who had been surety for a cer tain sum lent by the firm, was discharged by the events that had taken place from that responsibility. The Court below had decided that he was, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship thought the judgment Wow correct, and ordered it to be af firmed with costs. THE CORPORATION OF GLOUCESTER U. WOOD. The greater part of-the day was occupied with the arguments in this case, which related to the sufficiency of the guarantee given by the Corporation to transfer certain funds to the executors of the late James Wood, the late eccentric banker of Gloucester. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, March 9. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole of the day with causes of no general interest. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Morris Humphreys, an old and infirm man, was op posed by Mr. T. B. Hughes for the only creditor, Richard Williams, his son-in-law, a groom, residing in William street, Lisson-grove. He was supported by Mr. Wood ruffe. The insolvent appeared nearly childish. He was at tended with much solicitude by his daughter, the wife of the opposing creditor. Mr. %IroomturFE informed the Learned Commissioner that the person who had opposed him had put him into prison; all he owed was 101., and he claimed a set-off on the other side. • Arr. MTGE(Es asked a question with the view of show• ing that the residence had not been mentioned in the schedule.—The question was repeated to the old man, who replied that be could not tell, as he had lost his faculties. _ _ _ The next question was the amount that he had paid his attorney in this Court, when the answer was made by the daughter, that she had paid 61. Mr. WOODRUFFE—And paid by the wife of the op posing creditor! Mr. EluouEs said he wished she was called to give evidence. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS decided that she could neither be examined for or against her husband. Mr. WOODRUFFE obtained permission to explain the case. The insolvent's daughter had married a young gentleman, who was killed three days after wards, and his family had made her a provision for life. Unfortu nately she had married the opposing creditor, from whom she separated nine weeks after the marriage ; her hus band sold her out of a little shop she had taken, and had sued to imprisonment the old man for board and lodging ; she had promised to allow her father 50/. a year out of the allowance which was made to her volun tarily by the family of her former husband. Mr. Commissioner Hanuis—Well, Mr. Hughes, I hope you are satisfied ? Mr. HUGHES—Perfectly, Sir. Mr. Commissioner llnams—l hope your client is here ? Mr. HUGHES—He is, Sir. The COURT ordered an addition to be made, so that no claim could be made on the allowance by the daughter. The poor old man was immediately dis charged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT—Northampton, March 6 (Before Chief Justice TINDAL.) EXTRAORDINARY CASE. Nathalie Miard, aged twenty-seven, was charged with having, in April last, at Barnack, in this county, feloniously delivered to the Rev. Herbert Charles Marsh certain letters, demanding 10,000 francs, being of the value of 4001. in English money. We gave yesterday a sligl.t sketch and the result of this case, and now subjoin the evidence. _ Mr. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Whitehurst, and Mr. Macauley were for the prosecution ; Mr. Humfrey and Mr. W. H. Adams for the defence. The prisoner was an interesting looking woman, of a ladylike appearance, and a good deal of vivacity about her. It was stated she knew thirdly a word of English. The Rev. Mr. Marsh, the prosecutor, is a gentlemanly-looking man, about thirty-six years of age, and son to the late Bishop of Peterborough. He is an un married man, and a few years ago became acquainted with the pri. Boner at a house of ill repute in London. This led to her annoying him, and hence the present prosecution. . _ The prisoner being told that she might have a jury composed of half foreigners and half English, exclaimed, .k ne suit pas coupable. " She should have justice from those gentlemen." The prisoner was indicted under the statute of 7 and 8 Get,. IV., c. 29, s. 8, which makes it an offence to send letters with threats or menaces, without any reasonable or probable cause, with intent to extort money, &c. The Rev. Herbert Charles Marsh stated himself to be the rector of Barnack, in a village near Stamford, and had been rector about twelve years. Officiates generally with a curate. Has known the prisoner since about the July or August of 1839. Became ac quainted with her first in London at Madame Lodon's, a house of ill fame. She was one of the girls in the house. Conversed with her. She told me she was very much disgusted with the life she was leading, and that if I would give her ten or twelve pounds to pay her debts and go back to Paris, I should do her a very great kindness. I gave her the money. I went home. Believes she went to Paris. I went to Paris in August, and saw her there. Stayed at the Hotel Mirabeau. She visited me there, perhaps half a dozen times during my stay of twenty-four days. Had connection with her there. Previous to my leaving, she told me she was pregnant in consequence. Did not meet her at Stamford. I said, if she would go to London I would see her. I sent her 101. to go up. Found her at the Hotel de Commerce in Leicester-street, Leicester-square. She demanded 1201., and I gave her 1001. down. Told her it was inconvenient to give her the remaining 201. for a few months. Agreed to allow her 32/. a-year during the lifetime of the child. Was in town three days, and left her at the Hotel de Commerce. She wrote me an abusive letter from Paris, and I sent her the 20!. In 1840 she ordered me to come up to London, which I did, and insisted on having more money, because her accouchement had been expen sive. Gave her 1201. She told me the child was living, and she was not satisfied with the 32/., and must have 501. a year. She wanted a collateral security, and I gave her a promissory note for 500/., payable six months after demand, not to be used, and which I afterwards bought up. This was in October, 1840. Between then and Christmas I had several applications, and sent money each time, about 501. Received a letter in February, 1841, from London, asking for 1201. Told her it was impossible. Shs then asked for 101. to go to Paris, and I sent it her. She afterwards wrote, saying the child was dead, and she had no further cause for observing any delicacy towards me, and I must come up to London, or she would find means to make me. In come mence of this I went up. "She told me point blank that she had got the note of hand, and I must buy it back of her. I told her I was afraid I could not give her the full value of it, but I gave her 2501. down, and promised her also a bond for 3001. payable at my mother's death. She told me there was no hurry about that; she was going to return to Paris, but should be back again in London in a few months, and would trust to my honour. I went back home. In June, 1841, she wrote for the bond, and I sent it by a friend. She wrote again. I sent an answer that it was very inconvenient, and I could not. I had a reply, stating, if I did not, she would find means to make me. I then went up, and she told me she was sorry to have hurried me up, but she had lent all the money I had given her to a friend, who had embarked it in some ►peculation and failed. This was in July. She asked for 2201 I gave her 1601., telling her I could not get more. Saw her more than once, fur I had some difficulty in getting the money. Had connection with her at that time, but never since. Shortly after wards she wrote to say she was in the family way, and in about a month afterwards wrote for the 60/., which would, with the last 1601., make the 2201., and it would, she said, pray all her debts. Between this and the Christmas following I sent about 501. in all. She wrote again in November, saying she had fallen down stairs, and had a miscarriage, and was in great distress. At the end of De cember she wrote for 1201. more, saying that should be the last time she would trouble me, for everything would then be set at an end between us. I sent her the 1201. Saw her about April, 1842. I received another letter from her, from London, telling me I must come up to London directly, as she had An account to settle with me. Went up to town directly, and saw her at Dubourg's Hotel, in the Haymarket. She then showed me the bond, and told me she had shown it to her lawyer, who said it was saleable in the market, and hinted to me I had better buy it up. On this, I gave her the full value, 300/., and tore it to pieces. I asked her for my letters. She gave me up several, and declared they were merely scraps and bits of paper that she had of mine. Returned home. Received a letter from her in September, 1842, which was read. I had de stroyed all before this, as I received them. Took no notice of this letter at all. In ten days afterwards, received another letter. It was without date. Received one also on the 29th of October. They are in the hand-writing of the prisoner. In the month of April, 1843, I was at Barnack. Received this letter. The letters from her were all in French. The interpreter here read a literal translation of this letter, the first in the indictment : " The bearer of this note is ignorant of all ; it is for your interest not to inform him. lam in Stamford, and as you have neither answered my prayers nor my threats. I have considered it as better to come here, for you world not answer me, without doubt, at Lon. don. I have eight letters to restore to you, which are very com promising, for there are some of them old ones. I see the bottom of your heart. Well, in spite of that, if I had not really need of money to continue that which I have commenced, which is above my means, I would not ask you anything to day, but it is for me a question of life or death. I must have 10,000 f. See that which you have to do. When I have told you I loved you, it was true and sincere. Well, in spite of the hatred which I experience, it causes me pain to demand them of you. I return entirely the promises you have made me about your uncle, and wish not for the future to hear speak more of you ; for, with all the sacrifices that you have made for me, the heart within being for nothing, that cannot make me forget that you have made me suffer. There is my address :—' Hotel of the Port, Stamford,' "N. MIARD. " P.S.—Recall these words. With me peace is better than war. "Thursday, April 16, 1843." I had made her a conditional promise that if she would not write to me or torment me in any way, I had an uncle, and I would re member her at his death, or in fact at any time when I got any thing. This protease was made in April, 1842, when I bought back the bond. Had exhausted all the means I had, and wished to get rid of further torment for a little while. When I read the letter which has just been rem', I desired that no more such should be taken in. T wo days after, on comi ng h ome, I found the second letter on my tabl e . I was staying at Lord Lindsey's, in the neigh. bourhood of Uppington, and merely went to Barnack to see what was going on, and came back again. 'lke second letter in the indictment was read as translated, as follows: " The person who carries this note to you was ignorant of all yesterday; and as I have not had an answer, the person knows all to-day. You may, therefore, answer him verbally, without fear of compromising yourself further. As I am not false, I ought not to let you be ignorant of that which I have the intention of doing, in case you should not satisfy my demand. Thi s i s the plan which - I have Conceived, and I swear to you I will put it in execution. • Firstly, I will go into your church on Easter-d ay. Reckoning from that evening, I will go into your village from cot tage to cottage, to inform them all of that which has passed. Af terwards I will go to the magistrate at Stamford, from clergyman to clergyman at Peterborough, to all the Chapters, to the Bishop. I will take afterwards the names of all the Bishops of England, and I will write to them all. From there I will go to London, and cause you to be inserted In all the newspapers. Afterwards I will 8 0 'to Slid the Archbishop of Canterbury, who, being equally in structed, I will go again to London, to the magistrate; and I shall know bow to find Clarissa, that she may do so as well as me. I may not be much the richer for it, but at least I shall be re venged for all that you have made me suffer. "N. MIARD." In May I was absent, because I was in residence at Peterborough. I received this letter, dated the 13th of April, The interpreter translated it as follows: My intention was to publish memoirs in numbers, to support me in this town. I shall send you, therefore, every day a number. I This will recall to you one of our adventures. - I came to London in 1899, in the middle of the month of August, in order to be en ,gaged at the French theatre, which then had for its director M. • Cloup,. but the theatre being then closed, I found myself in a state of want. Then Monsieur Herbert Marsh, accustomed to run after new ladies that arrive in London, was presented to me by a lady, which caused propositions, and which ray position foreed me to accept. I had at that" time very littleexperienCe. After having passed about eight days in London, I started again for France, never believing I should see him again. for I had learned from him things that I cannot help stating. He was in town from the month of May. I had almost emptied his pockets. He became vastly in love with a young woman named St. Clair, a very elegant woman, and of remarkable beauty. He then made to us signs of intelli gence at the Opera; but, seeing that she did not answer to it, he found himself forced, in order to possess her, to come to the point of making offers. St. Clair then decided on accepting 3001. for an interview, only that Mons. Herbert Marsh, who has sufficiently the habit of not being content or remaining so with the first interview, comes back the next morning, saying he loved and adored her, and did not intend to possess her for nothing. On saying that, he slipped very cleverly into her bosom a 51. note. The young woman resented it by saying to a young woman, This is what he gives me for showing him down stairs.' So ended his love or courtship." Examination continued—Never gave the prisoner anything to procure abortion—there is no pretence for so saying. • " ' Cress.examined by Mr. HUMFIIEY—Is thirty-six next birthday. My living is worth 9001. a year averaging. The value on paper is 1,020/., but I never had that for it. Is a canon of Peterborough, which is worth 3501. a year. Madame Lodon's house is in Bury. street, St. James's. Had been at that house before. Clarissa is a person I knew eight years ago. Saw her for the last time in 1839, in the presence of Mr. Bailey, a solicitor. Did not make signs, as alleged, at the Opera. Did offer her 5/. The servant did not have it. I got it back again. Did not give her 3001.—that is false. Never had any connexion with her. Perhaps this was in 1838. Had been at Madame Lodon's in 1838, but not with either of those; of course, therefore, it must have been with others, but it was not Clarissa, St. Clair, or the prisoner. Went first to Madame Lodon's about ten years ago ; only occasionally—did not make it a habit. Felt I was in the prisoner's power. She had a note of mine for 5001., and might have sent it into the market. Was obliged to write to her often in terms of affection, and to keep up the pretence, because I was in her power. Cannot say whether I was sincere in the terms I used, when it was represented she was with child by me the second time. Knew Mr. Otter had been consulted by the prismer, and declined acting for her when I em ployed him for the prosecution. Mr. Hopkinson, my solicitor, in troduced that gentleman to me with the highest character. The prisoner took lodgings at the house of a man named Dorsley. They have been sold up since then by Mr. Otter. Papers were shown me belonging to the prisoner, as having been found in Dorsley's house. One was an altered certificate, and an extract from Mary. I know the prisoner has been to my mother, to the bishop of the diocese, and to the dean. Has received, but not direct, a commu nication from the bishop. The prisoner first discovered who I was in Easter, 1840. On re-examination Mr. Marsh said Clarissa was a woman he met with at a house of ill.fame. She was an attachee of a French theatre. Never had connection at any time with St. Clair. Offered her 51. It was refused, and I got it back again. I employed Mr. Leichfield in Lyndon, and Mr. Hopkinson in the country. Had been threate-ied with proceedings by Mr. Columbine, in 1842. _ Jacques Mutzig—Lived at the house where the prisoner did. Was the concierge, or house-porter, there. Had conversation with her, in 1841, about an English► clergyman she said she was ac quainted with, who sent her money. Said she had written to him to send her money. She said she would, after she had told him she was pregnant, write to say she had fallen down stairs. and she should receive money. Had never heard she was in the family way, or had fallen down stairs, or had had a miscarriage. Cross-examined—Was first applied to to come over as a witness on Saturday last. Attended five sets of rooms in Paris. Augustus Gougenheim—ls an interpreter of languages living in London. Prisoner visited him on two occasions. On the first she asked him to go into the country a long distance, to an English clergymen. She said she could get an income settled on her; that he was rich and kind, and she would follow him everywhere, and state to the world the connection that had existed between them. Being a countrywoman, I advised her to be cautious, and declined to act. Mentioned circumstances that gave me to understand she had been a gay lady eight or ten years. William John Joseph Kemp—ls an intepreter, and went at pri toner's request to Stamford, and saw Mr. Marsh on the Easter eve of 1840. Prisoner told him of tne connection she had had with Mr. Marsh at Lodon's and in Paris. She admitted she had led a dissolute life from a very young age. She said he was the father of a child she had. Witness told her, from what she had said to him, the child must be "un enfant de trois-sir pkres." She then replied, " Never mind, he is a rich man and a clergyman, and must pay." She said further, " I have served a Spaniard in the same way, when attached to the embassy at Paris." Saw her in 1841, and said, " Madame, you have got rid of your burden," and asked what it was. She said a boy, but it was dead, and he was not to say anything about it. She said she should bring an action against Mr. Marsh for having destroyed her health, by giving her a noxious drug to procure abortion. Cautioned her how she made such an accusation, as he had seen her almost daily, and she appeared to be in good health. She said, " Never mind; I shall bring the charge, or he must give me more money." Mr. George Marsh, the brother of the prosecutor, proved pri soner's coming to his mother's on Easter-day. Witness saw her. She said his brother had treated her very ill, and that she wanted 10,000 francs to open a maison de jeu. She afterwards said 30,000 francs. There were other witnesses called, but their testimony did not carry the case further. ➢lr. HUMFRIEY made a powerful appeal to the feelings of the jury in favour of the prisoner, and in particular alluded to the situation in which she stood before a tribunal, of whose forms of proceeding she could know nothing, being, as she was, a mute spectator, and without understanding what was said, so imperfect was her know ledge of the English language. We shall nut pretend to report a speech which took an hour and a half in the delivery, but the prin cipal points were, that the jury could not say there was not reason able and probable cause, and that the present was not such a case as was contemplated by the statute. The Junoe, in his summing up, presented the matters that were to be decided by the jury, plainly before them. That she had used ttreats and menaces was clear and admitted, and that the offence as charged came within the Act there could be no doubt—then, was there reasonable or probable cause, or did she bona fide think there was--that was the question. The jury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty," which was received with applause by a crowded Court. This demonstration of feeling was instantly checked. There was a second indictment, but the counsel for the prosecu tion said It was substantially the same question, and, therefore, no evidence would be offered. The prisoner was, therefore, acquitted on the second indictment. There was a third charge, that of conspiring to extort money, which was not pressed, upon her entering into her own recogni sances to come up when called upon to take her trial, and in the meantime to keep the peace. CENTRAL CRI VIINAL COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) TILE QUEEN v. Hour.—Judgment having been prayed upon the defendant this session, he was ordered to appear in Court this morning, for the purpose of receiving it. The defendant is at present a prisoner in the Queen's Prison, under a sentence recently passed upon him In the Court of Queen's Bench, for a libel upon the Duke of Bruns wick. He was now brought up, in custody, from that Prison, and placed at the traverser's bar of this Court. Holt had been found guilty on Monday last, at these ses sions, on an indictment preferred against him for a libel upon Lord William Paget.. The libellous matter complained of had reference to the recent Paget and Cardigan affair, and asserted that the prosecutor in that case had made " a plant " upon Lord Cardigan for the purpose of extorting money from him—in other words that he was guilty of the two-fold crimes of conniving at his own and. his wife's dis honour, and of trying . by these unmanly means to obtain a sum of money from the Noble Earl by way. of .compromise. After an ineffectual effort on the part of the defendant to have judgment deferred Until next session, the Learned Re corder said, Thomas Holt, you have been tried and convicted by a careful and intelligent jury, of publishing a .libel on the character of Lord William Paget. On the trial I took con siderable pains to draw the attention of the jury.to the nature of each separate count of ihe indictment, and after hearing that explanation they found you guilty of the whole charge. I need not remark upon the . serious and injurious c h aracter of that libel, the publication of which may have excited a prjudice_beyond its mere defamation on the character of the plaintiff. You are nowundergoing an imp r i sonment i n exe cution of a sentence passed upon you by a superior tribunal— a fact of which the Court will not lose sight in passing sen tence upon you—and, therefore, the period of your imprison ment for your present offence will he lessened. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, and the fact that you are now undergoing a year's imprisonment, of which term but a very small portion has expired, the sentence of the Court upon you is, that at the' expiration of the period for which you are already sentenced to be confined in the Queen's Pri son, you be further impriiOned in her Majesty gaol of New gate for the period of four calendar months. The defendant was then removed in custody, and the Court adjourned until Monday, the Bth of April. POLICE ...NTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Captain William Simpson, the commander of the brig Coline, the 'owner, of which; Mr. Reed, of Ipswich, was on Friday charged with having been a party to the wilful destruction of that vessel, 'was brought before 'the Lord Mayor in the eustody of Daniel Forrester . the officer, ' and accused of having combined with W. Reel to sink the vessel, _and' thus defraud the Marine Alliance In surance Company of the sum of 1,250 L, to which.amount she was insured. •.

He would . show dis tinctly, upon fully entering into the case on a future day, that she had been wilfully. lost.

He said to- me that he had left the ship on his way home somewhere-upon the coast, to come home and tell the owner - that the vessel was - leaking and unfit for Use. When he told that to Mr. Reed, The' obser vation Mr. Reed made was, "that he cotiktdo' 'nothing with he r th en , that he :(Capt. Simpson) must go another voyage with her —a voyage to the north for coals." The captain objected to the leaky condition in whichthe ship was, and-Mr. Reed then said to him "if she. is in that bad state then go with her, and you must drop her." - The captain. told me he said to Mr. Reed that the • boat was not fit for saving the men, and that it was in •a- very bad condition, and Mr. Reed said, " you must - get - another that will suit you, and charge it to the ship." - He said he went the voyage hnd took in coal s , an d when on the coast of Holland thelyessel was w ilf u ll y lost.

Mr. Humphreys did not oppose the application; The prisoner was then remanded. Willmm Henry Albert was brought up for re-examina- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1844. tion, on Saturday, on the charge of having - forged' the names of Bolte and Co., merchants, on the back of a bill of exchange. Some of the particulars of the case have already appeared. Mr. Rosing, the agent in France of Messrs. Bolte and Co., of Bremen, having inclosed four bills of exchange in a letter (which never arrived as addressed) to that firm, in a short time those bills made their appearance in England, when one of them was negotiated with the forged endorsement of " Bolte and Co." upon it. That bill was taced to the prisoner. Mr. Wilkinson, solicitor, of Broad-street, who attended for the prosecution, said that he had written, since the prisoner's first examination, to Bremen and to France for the necessary witnesses, and Mr. Rosing had arrived from Paris, but, in consequence of the state of the river from the frost, Mr. Bolte could not reach London con veniently for some time. He would, however, prove the commission of the forgery beyond the shadow of a doubt. _ Mr. Rosing said. I am a native of Bremen, but I have lived in Paris for the last year and nine months. I well 1 now the house of Bolte and Co. One of the partners is a brother-i R-law of mine. I am the agent of that house in Paris. On the 11th of November I brought certain bills of exchange for Messrs. Bolte and Co., and on the 12th I enclosed them in a letter, which I ad dressed to that firm, and sealed with my seal ; I gave the letter to my son, a boy nine years old, to take to the post-office. (Here the bill was produced.) This is one of the bills which I enclosed in the letter. The indorse ment " Bolte and Co." is a forgery. There is no such house in Paris as Bolte and Co., I am quite sure, and there is no clerk in the house of Bolte and Co., of Bremen, authorised to endorse bills. Cross-examined by Mr. Chapman for the prisoner— Went to the President of the Tribunal of Commerce, and learned from him, that there was no such house in Paris as that of Bolte and Co. Ido not know the writ ing of the principal clerk of the house of Bolte and Co., at Bremen. I saw Messrs. Bolte and Co., in February, and they told me they never authorised any person to endorse bills in theii names. I do not know a man named Fredericks, but I should wish to meet him. The LORD MAYOR—After you purchased the bills, you sent them by post to Bremen. Did you hear after wards from Bremen anything about them ? Witness — They wrote to me that the bills had not arrived. Mr. Wilkinson here produced another of the bills which had been enclosed in the same letter, and directed to Messrs. Bolte and Co., and he said it was in his power to produce a third, and that they were all traceable to the prisoner. _ _ _ . _ Mr. nosing (looking at the bill)—This is another of the bills which I sent to Messrs. Bolte and Co. It is for 878 mares banco 7 shillings, and the endorsement ap pears to be from Bolte and Co. to W. H. Albert. The endorsement is a forgery. Mr. F. D. Bruin, clerk to Mr. Konigswater, of Cop thall-court, said he knew Albert by sight. Albert called upon him at Copthall-court, and brought with him this bill and we bought it of him, partly in cash and partly in a bill on Paris. He had offered us one for 1,516 mares banco 2 shillings, on Hamburgh. We refused to take it, as we did not know him. We got it back from Hamburgh under protest, for it was not accepted, as the signature of Bolte and Co. was forged. We gave it to an attorney, and the prisoner got it from him. Ferdinand Rosinw, son of the first witness, said that he put the letter addressed by his father to Bolte and Co., Bremen, into the post-office. The LORD MAYOR, after a very minute investigation, said that all he considered necessary to warrant him in committing the prisoner for trial was the evidence of some one of the partners of the house of Bolte and Co.— The prisoner was then remanded. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. On Saturday, in the course of the hearing of a sum mons laid against a young gentleman for an alleged fu rious riding down Skinner-street, Snow-hill, Sir Peter Laurie stated to Mr. Lambert Jones, the Common Coun cilman, who was present, that he was astonished at the rapid stride wood-pavement was gaining in the metro polis, particularly after what had been publicly stated as to its dangerous qualities. There was scarcely a day elapsed but what some disaster took place on that laid down in the City between Aldgate and Temple -bar. At his (Sir Peter Laurie's) request the City police during the month of February last noted the whole of the acci dents that happened by horses slipping down on the 1,200 yards of wood pavement laid down in the City, and also those that took place on the Macadamised road:. The Commissioner (Mr. D. W. Harvey) had forwarded him the result, which proved that the number of acci dents on wood pavement were nearly five times those on the Macadamized pavement, the former amounting du ring the time specified to 295, and the latter 51, making a total of 348. The report did not mention the number of horses that had been killed, or the extent of loss of human life, but he knew of several instances. Mr Lambert Jones questioned the truth of the worthy Alderman's assertion of any persons having lost their lives. Had such have been the case he must have heard of the casualties. Sir PETER LAURIE was confident, and mentioned se veral instances. He advised Mr. Lambert Jones to get rid of his shares, if he had any, for he could assure him they were of no good. Mr. Lambert Jones said Sir Peter should have all he possessed for five shillings.—(Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURrE declined to have anything to do with them. He then gave directions to the inspector on duty in the Court to request the police to make another month's note of the accidents that occurred on the wood pavement, but cautioned him of the men being bribed to make false returns. He, however, would be upsides with them. QUEEN-SQUARE. On Saturday a gentleman connected with the firm of Messrs. Hatchard and Son, booksellers, 187, Piccadilly, waited upon the Magistrate to request his assistance ani advice under the following extraordinary circum stances:— The gentleman said that the house which he repre sented, had given permission to a lady named Dornton, who had advertised for the situation of governess, to have her letters addressed in the initials A. 13., to their house. Amongst other letters which they received, was one from a person whose motives, in their opinion, ap peared to be of such a character that they had on this, as on former occasions, withheld the letter from the per son to whom it was addressed. The initials on the seal of the communication were W. A. D. and the crest a griffin, and it contained a request on the part of the writer that the person applying for the situation of governess should communicate her age and other particulars ad dressed to Mrs. Dalton, 179, Sloane-street. Messrs. Hatchard frequently received letters on the subject of su perior situations in families, and within the last two years there had been as many as fifty letters with the W.A.D. seal sent to their house addressed to different females who had advertised, the greater part of which letters they had withheld in consequence of some strong obser vations on the conduct of the party which appeared in the morning papers about eighteen months ago. There was no moral doubt in the minds of the firm applicant represented that the writer was instigated by improper motives, more especially as he had addressed no less than ten letters to one female. He was directed to inquire, whether if an appointment was made by any female with the writer, and should their suspicions be confirmed, he could not be prosecuted as a rogue and vagabond ? Mr. BOND could not give an opinion in the matter, but he felt satisfied, that when this application met the eyes of the public it would have the effect of checking the evil. Wm. Coltman, sen., and Wm. Coltman, jun., were charged before Mr. Bond with assaulting Mr. Lucy, a tradesman re siding in Bermondsey, under the following circumstances : The complainant stated that he was passing along Mil bank yesterday, when he observed some boys washing a cart in the river, and swearing because they could not get it out of a hole. He remonstrated with them on the impropriety of their conduct, and, in return, they asked him what busi ness it was of his to meddle with them? The younger de fendant threw a large stone at him, which struck him on the arm, and caused him considerable pain. Shortly afterwards the boy's father came up, and struck him on the head. The younger defendant stated that the complainant struck him first. His father said he did not strike the complainant. Fined 30s. each. • Polly Smith, a prostitute, was charged by John Dixon, a ragged individual, whose professional pursuit appeared to be that of a dustman. He stated, in a voluminous and classical address to the Magistrate, occasionally raising his arms aloft, after the man ner of Othello, that a few days ago he received the sum of 51., aoortion rem of a w in h d i e c r h , whehitte he -i limited t ned to do 3L ms., evote to conviviality, hevurposed and the devoting to the purchase of a horse, being convinced that for that sum he could procure a " hanimal" suitable to be the companion of his perambulations for dust. On Thursday night he met the defendant, whom he had known for many years as a respectable woman, but who has been several times charged at this office. With offences of a similar nature to the one we are now detailing. He accompanied her to her " apartments," and remained with her feasting on roast pork, for which he appeared to have a passion, and drinking, until his 51. •was reduced to 11. 155., which he charged the de fendant with stealing from his coat pocket. He admitted 'that he was drunk, or nearly so, at the time, and the Magis trate dismissed the case, telling the defendant to be careful in her conduct for the future. UNION-HALL. •On Saturday John Weare, Thomas Jones, and James Williams, the latter quite a youth, were brought up, charged on suspicion with being the persons who robbed a lady named Cutto, residing in the Kent - road , of 720 /., in oue of the Paddington omnibuses. The boy Wil liams was brought up to this Court on Saturday week, for discharging a loaded] pistol in the street, and when taken-to the station-house there was found in his pos session a gold guard-chain and a valuable diamond pin, He gave such a very unsatisfactory account of himself. that when brought before the Magistrate he was ordered to - be detained until inquiries were made respecting him. Since then, however, he was discharged, on finding bail, but was taken into' custody on the preceding day charged with being concerned in the robbery of Mrs. Cutto, who stated that on Thursday, the 7th of February, she rode from the Bank of England in a Paddington omnibus to the Angel at Islington, and on alighting discovered that she had been robbed of her pocket-book, containing 7201 in Bank of England notes of various amounts. She said that she recollected a youth resembling Wil liams sat next to her in the vehicle, and she also ob served two men, like the other prisoners sitting near her, and at the time she perceived they made motions to one another, although they did. not converse together ; that the boy alighted first, and he was soon followed by the other two men. :.In reply to, Mr. Cottingham, the witness said she did not receive the not. at the Bank on the day mentioned; that she was in the habit of carrying that large sum in her pocket, in case of fire in her house. A Mrs. Kingsmith identified the boy Williams, and stated that she was robbed of a purse containing twelve sovereigns, about a month since, while she was walking along Liquorpond-street. She believed the other pri soners were in the company of Williams at the time. Sergeant Langly, A division, stated that six months ago - be saw the three priso ner s lurking about Drury - lane Theatre, and saw them walk after a gentleman. On that occasion he warned the prisoners to go. elsewhere. The sergeant producedreceipts for upwards of 50/ worth of clothes and other articles, purchased by Williams, since the robbery of Mrs. Cutto had taken place. Mr. Fuller, the jeweller, of Ludgate-hill, identified Williams as having purchased a diamond pin from him on the 25th of February, and that a man apiembling Weare was with him at the time. Sergeant Langley applied to have the prisoners re manded, which was acceded to, the prisoners, by the ad vice of Mr. Wilkins, their counsel, declining to make any defence in the present stage of the inquiry. The Magis trate refused to take bail for their appearance. • Richard Day, an architect, was charged under the sub joined circumstances : On the preceding night, at a late hour, the prisoner was seen in Blackfriars-road in the company of a woman, who was in a helpless state of intoxication. He was observed to take a cardinal cape off her shoulders, and, when questioned on the subject, he pretended to be acquainted with the female, and said that he was helping her home. It turned out, however, that he was quite a stranger to her, and threatened that if he had a knife he'would rip up the policeman's guts. He was taken to the station-house. When brought before the Magistrate he gave a very vague account of himself, said that he was a married man, and that his wife being ab sent he was going to take the drunken woman to his house for protection. Mr COTrINGHAM said that instead of inflicting a fine on the defendant he should commit him for seven days to the House of Correction, and that when he came out he must find bail for his good behaviour. CLERKENWELL. Mr. Edward ridden was summoned to answer the complaint of Mr. Macey, superintendent of the G divi sion of police, for having knowingly let a house inCum berland-row, Battle-bridge, St. Pancras, for the purpose of unlicensed theatrical entertainments. Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, appeared for the defendant. The summons was laid under the Police Act, which subjects the party so offending to a penalty of 20L It u ill be recollected that on the night of the 28th ult., the audience and actors at this wretched exhibition, consist ing of more than 80 persons, were captured by the police, and brought before the sitting Magistrate at this Court on the following morning. On their examination, it clearly appeared that the place was the constant resort of the lowest characters, and as the Magistrate properly termed it, " a school of vice." Mr. Wilkins, in extenuation of his client's guilt, pleaded his ignorance of the law. _ - Mr. GREEN WOOD fined the defendant 41. iVillia►rc Charles Pellut was charged with threatening to murder his mother. The complainant is a decent and most industrious poor widow, carrying on business as an egg dealer in Bloomsbury- market. Her affection for the prisoner verifies the expression of Washington Irving—" there is an enduring tenderness in a mother's love for a son, which surpasses every other affection of the human heart." Ever since the prisoner become an adult he has never ceased from plundering and maltreating his parent. He has been frequently brought before this Court and Hatton-garden, charged with robbing or ill using his mother. On one occasion he was sent to the House of Correction for three months, during which time the affectionate mother was the chief support of the prisoner's wife. On another occasion he was sent for trial, but the mother's tenderness so far overcame her judgment on the trial, as to occasion his acquittal. Not in the least affected by his mother's fondness, he became on his liberation more cruel and depraved than before. The threat having been fully proved, Mr. GREENWOOD, after commenting on the brutality of his conduct, required him to find bail, which not being forthcoming, the prisoner was committed to the House of Correction. A man named Jones, was charged with an assault of a very violent and unprovoked character, on the person of Mr. Night ingale, a lodging-house keeper, in Saffron-lull. Mr. Nightingale was sitting quietly in his parlour on the previous night, when he heard a great noise in front of the house ; he ran out, but had not advanced more than a few paces into his own passage, when he was met by the prisoner, who struck him a violent blow on the face. He had never seen the prisoner before, and had not given him the least provocation. His face was greatly swollen from the blow. He cried out " police," and a constable came to his assistance. The prisoner was in liquor. Police-constable Ware confirmed Mr. Nightingale's testi mony, and added that the prisoner's language, when in cus tody, was of a most violent and disgusting character. Waddington, the jailor, said the prisoner was a coster monger, and a fellow of very bad character. Mr. GREENWOOD said the assault was violent, and altoge ther unprovoked. He would fine the prisoner 30s. Prisoner—l have not a farthing. Mr. GREENwoon—Then you must go to the House of Correction for a month. MR. PAKENHAM AND THE OREGON QUESTION. (From a New York paper.) A reproachful expression uttered by a scurrilous paper in this city, to the effect that the Pakenham family might find another New Orleans in the Oregon question, has created universal disgust among all the respectable portion of the community, and meets with approbation nowhere. Even if it were true that Major-General Pakenham, who commanded at New Orleans, had tarnished the honourable name which he bore, it would be the most ungentlemanly meanness to quote that fact in connexion with the name of the Right Hon. Richard Pakenham, the newly-arrived Mi nister from England. The doctrine that one man is re sponsible for the sins of another, merely because he bears the same name, or is connected with the same family, is at least not a republican doctrine. But, so far as we know, the only reproach which rests upon the memory of Major -Gen e ral Pakenham is, that he bravely fell in an unsuccessful conflict, while in the discharge of his duty to his country. So did General Montgomery at Quebec. Yet we rank Montgomery among our list of heroes, and his memory is embalmed in the hearts of his countrymen. It is some comfort to be able to say, that the editor who put forth the disgraceful taunt above alluded to is not an American, and shares little in the feelings of the American people. In every point of view, Mr. Richard Pakenham is entitled to the highest considera tion and respect. To say nothing of his private vir• toes, or his personal merits, he is the representative of the most powerful nation on earth, and comes on an em bassy of peace. He comes in the hope of effecting the adjustment of the only question between his country and our own which is liable in any way to inter rupt our friendly relations. It is at least as desirable to us as to England that this question should be settled without delay. In sending her minister here for the purpose, she has manifested a generous confidence, as well as a disposition to preserve the good under standing which now happily exists. We trust the overture will be met in the spirit which prompted it. The question is surrounded with difficulties, and it is not easy to see how it is to be adjusted to mutual satisfaction. One party or the other, or more probably both, must make large concessions before they can meet. We claim to the 54th degree of latitude ; England to the 49th and how much further we know not—perhaps to the Columbia river. We take it for granted, now that the negotiation is, or is soon to be, commenced, that the subject will be dropped on the floor of Congress. That it ought to be, is in effect admitted by the Washington Globe, which a few days since remarked as follows: " Mr. Pakenham, we hear, is expected daily from Eng land, and 'it is supposed that he will bring with him powers to treat on this subject. After his arrival, and pending an actual negotiation, it might be considered indecorous to the Power with whom we were in treaty to interfere by debate or otherwise. But now, before any negotiation is commenced, while we are still un committed, itr is most desirable that we should have some expression of public sentiment, especially from the popular branch, in regard to a matter so vitally im portant as the question whether or not we shall cede, by treaty, to a nation noted for her encroaching spirit, a district of territory containing not millions only, but hundreds of millions of acres. We have already offered, during the negotiation of 1826, to cede to Great Britain upwards of 100,000,000 acres, the northern portion of the territory of Oregon, and even that far too liberal concession Great Britain refused. Before we make oilers still further comprising the national honour, still further curtailing the national territory, we wish to hear the representatives of the people speak out."

Graham, J. Brown, and another, about two months ago, was committed to Appleby gaol, to hard labour, for poaching in the preserves of the Earl of Lonsdale, near Thoruthwaite-hall, in Westmoreland, was unfortunately killed by the wheel of the treadmill. On Wednesday last, an inquest was held on the body, in the gaol, before George Thompson, Esq., one of the coroners for the county of Westmoreland. It appeared, from the facts given in evi dence, that Relph, at the time the accident occurred, was waiting near the mill, for the purpose of going on duty, and, being a person of low stature, his head, by some means or other„ came in contact with the wheel, which was rapidly revolving at the timo, and ractured his skull.

Sir Archibald Campbell Was attacked with 6 Con. venient disorder in his eyes some twenty y . fera 1:' and Sir R. Peel, who was at that period Home 1, 9 in cretary, allowed him to retire on pension of 1,910. per annum. Notwithstanding this unhappy or firinity, which incapacitated him from poring n'bo dull law papers, Sir Archibald is understood OA a capital shot, and no one, to look upon him, iv,„ for a moment imagine that his pension had Dr` i ; granted on the score of blindness. Whatever, I t have been the pretext, we have heard the perrai ss— ss to Sir Archibald Campbell to retire, defended aa truly economical act on the part of the Tory Grovesoi ment of 1824—0 n the ground that, however serf t matter it might he to pay the ex judge's penei ni t se has, after all, cost the country less than the ex P e • of reversing his decisions would have amounted te•bi, As an illustration of the sort of person Sir Art i s bald Campbell is, we may relate an anecdote Whie,,,.. well-known in Glasgow. A public dinner of Tu" friends of the Fine Arts took place a few nient b ! g ge in this city, and to Sir Archibald was assig n , v id task of proposing the memory of Sir m a d Wilkie. Those who have heard the Baron!! l o is Suecouth speak are well aware that at no tim e " oa . eloquence of the most enlivening description, b ut :ma this particular evening, he was even inere:4 o o ' usually prosy. The audience endured the inurdid for a considerable time, with a pat i ence which them the utmost credit, but, at length, as it beganappear probable that the speech would endity?..lo,. midnight, a shuffling of feet and other mark s el 0 • to patience commenced. On, however, wen t t of • Archibald, regardless of every reason able bi t i se 4 this description ; but, by and by, the stori inc' n h , a: to such a height that he wasobliged to con e fit; i premature conclusion. On ' suming his s eat, p 4 Archibald, with the most un flied self-cowo - 1r beaming on his countenance, turned to a li en bsa; man sitting near him, ancV 4 said, " Well, Is , no idea that Wilkie was so unpopular r or se, never occurred to the poor man that another I„, s . not that of Wilkie, was at fault. After thisl i flg ever much we may blame the Tories for 1 31 ';it Sir Archibald Campbell on the bench, r w e e biat scarcely think them far wrong in getting id n ' as speedily as possible. oat • It is, nevertheless, disgraceful to find such e_,., sum of the public money recklessly spent on surt o annuated allowances ; and we thank Mr. Wal lsce sst bringing the subject under the notice of the CO" 1 --.Glassow Argus.
