The intelligence brought by the Overland Mail from India and China is altogether very favourable. With the exception of a slight insurrection in the Mahratta country; and the capture of the fort of Samunghur by the British trorps, the utmost trail. prevails. A , 2coulits frild that ewly in.,quired increa - iing , _iay in prospei ity, and to such a di•gree, that the ca:trinnia tors of Lord ELLENBOROUGEI and Si: CHARLES NAPIER. are :dumb on the. subject. The revenue was inerea•sing, and more money had been ,olleetcd urnier th , , mild and legitimate autho ity of the gallant General then had been btained by the extortions and v:olence of :he Atucers. Kurrechee, a town situate towards the .nouth of the Indus, was daily ris:ng in importance ; buildings were springing up in all direc io,e, zap ard tt.:e climate healthy. tb inhabitants of tiomuay, .ere begMning LO see (he vast importance of opening the Indus fur trade, and the advantages which the occupation of Sinde would confer on the extensive territories along its banks. We never Trott, ,he begiunii;g had any doubt on the sub ject ,(ve defended almost alone the policy of the Indian Government, and did justice to the wise plans and the daring manoeuvres of the gallant .NAPIER; and it is therefore gratifying to find that the result has been such as to convince even the most obstinate that the annexation of Sinde to the British possessions constitutes one of the most glorious and beneficial events of the present day. We rejoice to hear that Sir CHARLES NAPIER enjoyed good health, and was about to visit some of the more dis• tant portions of the country placed under his autho rity. From every account his wise measures, for preserving peace and securing good government, ex cited equal admiration with his warlike exploits. The operation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S banking legislation is now beginning to develop itself in good with no feeling of satisfaction that we note. .t.u_griaual, but we fear inevitable, fulfilment of the predictions which, from time to time, we have hazarded as to\ the results that would ensue on the famous "compliment," in 1 844 —of the disastrous error of 1819._ ,' And yet that error was sufficiently comprehensive and various in its character, one should 7 1 94, ' t ( * "tt f'.... -' -- `-• gcb- *•;.--"' ''‘, s 'irlr , f' "'"•,,, : ~,.,.. 4 :4 0 ,, t.',.,4, 4 , - Akiirr % ' l6 ' , -, "1b...... i'l EV A: !).,•,,,.....› .1 . , , ' 6 , , ,p ,,, ,,..,Ft, , . e. A ''''''' T E t. . • have thought, to have rendered unnecessary the fur- 1 1 ther tampering of the "renewing" and "regulating" statutes of last session, touching the charter of the Bank of England, and the circulation of joint-stock • and other banks of issue. For there are few men of ordinary intelligence, who will venture at this mo ment to deny, that the Currency Act of 1819 has diminished the resources of this nation some fifty per cent., through the destructive action of suddenly pro claimed gold prices on the industrial and productive classes, in the shape of enforced and unnatural dimi nution of wages, and through the stupendous injus tice of compelling all persons under liabilities which had been contracted in the previously-established paper circulation, to redeem them in gold at a fixed specific rate of value, instead of at its current market prise. Nobody now doubts, who has once taken the trouble to examine into the very simple elements of this question, that the establishment of a cheap gold stand .rd, with natural or gold reduced prices and low gold wages, has had the effect of throwing the great burden of all our indirect taxation upon the shoulders of the very industrial classes whom it has so cruelly mulcted in the wages which would otherwise have easily borne it. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S early initiation into official station appears to have rendered familiar to his vanity the notion that he has received a mission to turn his hand to any and every species of remedial Istatesmanship. Heaven knows, he will never reap the graceful praise bestowed on poor GOLDSMITU— " Nihil tetigit quod non ornavit." His monetary law making began, has continued, and will terminate in mistakes. He mistakes the first element of money— which should be representation of value, not value itself. The presence of intrinsic value, if deemed in dispensable, in any well-regulated circulation, is suf ficiently provided for by such a quantity of gold and silver bullion as may serve to represent, pretnptly and conveniently, the balances of our transactions in foreign commerce, and perhaps in our internal trade. Retained for purposes like this, it does not impede, but facilitate that commerce and trade. It does not reduce the prices of the products of our highly-taxed industrial population to the level of the natural or gold prices necessary to remunerate the far snore lightly, if not wholly untaxed, producing classes of the Continent. It leaves the circulation of bank notes to its own natural tendencies to expand or to contract, according to the demand and supply of " money," or its larger and more proper significa tion in the market. It does not, by the dangerous high-pressure of artificial limitations on the quantity of money which the producing power of this king dom requires for its representation, positively and iniquitously and - ruinously prevent the distribution of wealth. But Sir R. PEEL having thus determined to h we only intrinsic in lieu of symbolic money, or at least to tolerate symbolic money only under the unqualified condition of its immediate convertibility by the issuers, into gold, on demand, at and after a fixed rate of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce, next proceeded to make this condition, to the best of his power, if not impracticable, destructive of the permanency of his gold system. To pay bank-notes in gold, it is evidently necessary to be provided with a sufficient quantity of that metal to equal the amount of bank notes at any time outstanding. This_ it would ever be a sufficient puzzle to procure under any circum stances. But by the profound expedient of permit ing gold to be sold and bought as freely as any other commodity, and thus enabling it always to command its market price, and therefore its fluctuating price— the market of the world has always run against the Mint on Tower-hill. At the Mint they were com pelled to issue, and at the Bank of England they were bound to pay, as well as to receive —gold at the Act of Parliament price. In Cheapside, or anywhere else, gold might be fetching a price from four or five, to twelve and twenty per cent. higher. So the Bank was always in danger of being drained, even despite its extensive purchases of gold in the very market •,•,hich had just drained its coffers, at such an advance on the price it had itself issued at; and despite the still more mischievous and sudden contractions of its issues of notes, rendered imperatively necessary by its pi-rpetual liabilities to this run for gold. In 1844, neither former blunders, nor the prices and the crises consequent on them, nor the destruction of many eminent banking and mercantile firms, nor the sudden, cruel, and needless overthrow of many ample private fortunes, had cured Sir ROBERT of this fatal propensity to interference with metters monetary and commercial. As in 1819 ne had been scared by colossal windmills, in tl.e shape of adverse foreign exchanges, so, in 1844, he Has frighted out of his propriety by two more mar. velltius discoveries. He discovered, first, that there was a tendency to excessive speculation in the com mercial interest ; and therefore he started from an arbitrary point, with a given entire circulation as that which he thought adequate for the wants of the country, and which, by the division of the . Bank of England into two numbers, a bank of issue and a bank of deposits, was always to keep for that corpo ration a sufficient store of bullion in its coffers to pay all its own notes presented for that purpose. He dis covered, secondly, that the aniall-note circulation permitted to Scotland ought no longer to continue — not, however, on the equitable ground that not being permitted to England it ought not to be allowed in Scotland, but on the assumption that it was injurious for the latter country. Well, at the end of last session, these views, except in so far as with regard to Scotland, their- carrying out was postponed till 1845, were affirmed by Acts of Parlia ment. Since then, speculatiOn—Which it was his avowed object to repress—has become rampant, throwing itself into railroad projects of all kinds and prospects—and foreign 'securities, good, bad, or in different—with a prodigality, savouring almost of insanity; and with results, the period of whose de velopment has not yet arrived, but will ere long show themselves in characters very intelligible. Since then, legitimate commerce, which it was his avowed object to uphold and encourage ; has so seriously declined, that the - market for colonial pro duce, for example, is left almost without buyers, according to our Mincing-lane Circular of the day before yesterday. Grievous complaints are made of the almost total cessation of purchases. Would either of these results, both of them so deeply to be deplored, have occurred, under a monetary sys tem founded on a basis of symbolic money issued from responsible quarters, and a quantity sufficient for the legitimate purposes of representing property seeking investment or distribution ? We boldly an ' swer in the negative. The very same causes—the selfsame impolitic tampering with private credit, and the elasticity of commercial confidence—which the Act of 1819 called into such desolating energy in 1825-26, will assuredly bring about, ere many months, at the utmost, have passed over us, some ter rible convulsions, again, it; in the meanwhile, Sir Ro- BERT persevere in tightening the screw which already paralyses our national resources by its unnatural ten sion. He iz , it appears, determined on next experiment ing upon Scotland. She shall not have IL or one guinea bank -notes. It is inexpedient for her welfare to retain them." Indeed ! She has now possessed them about 140 years. With them, and with her present sy stem of banks, she has survi ve d th e s h oc k s of two native rebellions against the Imperial Government; she has reclaimed her sterile wastes, improved in the most ad mirable and advantageous manner the whole face of her arable soil ; beautified, aye, and built, magnificent cities arid towns, and, aided by the intelligent saga city and industry of her people, outstripped almost every other competitor, in the proportion of her means, in the rapidity of her career of national prosperity. Her monetary system has afforded all encouragement to industry—all development to trade—all facilities to agricultural improvement. Surely the shrewdness of the people of Scotland will not permit solid advan tages of this kind to be' immolated to a worthless crotchet of the Premier's. But they must go further than they intimate their intention of doing. They must vindicate the broad, general, practical principle of that symbolic money, and that expansible mo netary system to which they owe so much; and not content with simply averting from themselves the infliction of an enormous scheme of currency regulation which has worked so much injustice and mischief to England—and because Eng ' land is their own grand mart and customer, has pro ! portionally prejudiced their own interests. They must insist on the Premier's retracing the steps he has taken, or his repealing the Act of 1819, and its supplements and complement ; and on his restoring that tried and salutary monetary system, which can alone secure to th e d orman t ca pit a l o f thi s em pi re it s full evolution; to its productive power, ite full energy; • to its industrial classes, " a fair day's wage for a fair day's labour ;" and the distribution, in the shape of these legitimate wages, of a fair proportion of the wealth they generate ; to its manufacturers and ar tisans, remunerating prices, not artificially kept down by a cheap gold standard; and to the whole country, the full and absolute benefits of that free trade which our geographical and commercial position so well qualifies us to realise, but which we are deliberately convinced no other means, whatever, can enable us to arrive at, of which this return to the better system of currency that we hare foolishly abandoned, is not a primary and essential element. The Post of yesterday, in an article suggested by a meeting of the Somersetshire kgricultural Society which took place last week at'Wincanton, speaks out in a frank, manly strain respecting the present position of the Anti-Corn-law League, and the degree of moral influence which it exercises over the public mind. The majority of the journals which espouse the cause of monopoly still continue to re present this great national confederacy as in a de clining state. According to their statements it has lost the strong hold which it bad over the popular mind a year or two since, when the distresses of the country and the general discontent which they occa sioned conspired to favour its progress; with an im proved condition of things have come an improved spirit—a more collected and sagacious judgment on the part of the people ; and the League is now suffering from this altered tone of the public mind, and at no distant period it will be numbered among the "things that once were." So say the journals that are favourable to monopoly ; and the RICHMONDS, the BUCKINGHAM, the BANKESES, and all who think with them, make a point of echo ing the sentiment. But the Post—to its credit be it mentioned—is too frank, too manly, too intelligent to adopt this false, one-sided view of the case. Though an uncompromising enemy of the Anti-Corn-law League and of every single principle, without ex ception, which it advocates, our Contemporiry is not guilty of the foolish error of underrating its influ ence, but blurts out the strict truth, careless whom it may offend. We wish the Post were always as explicit and intelligible in its opinions as it is in the significant passage which we shall presently sub join. But there is too often a . vagueness a haziness—an incoherency in its political views which for the life of us we cannot understand. To-day it is Young England—to-morrow it is Old England after the fashion of Lord ELDON. Now, it advocates a standstill system of policy with a dogged inveteracy of purpose that would have endeared it to the heart of A SIDMOUTIfOr a CASTLEREAGH; and now, it is Ali 'fie stir and movement in the Church as ►ell as in the State. One moment it startles us by a bold theory or suggestion that breathes the true spirit of Reform in its most enlightened and comprehensive sense ; the next, it is a bigoted admirer of the " wisdom of our ancestors," and scouts the bare idea of every 'innovation, no. matter how slight, that should hays a tendency to bring that wisdom, into disrepute. Our Contemporary is too sagacious to be a confirmed ribbon Tory, and he is too honest to be a decided Conservative. What then is he ? To what party does he adhere ? Who is his " Magnus Apollo" in statesmanship? We cannot answer these questions, and we now put them respectfully to hini, in the hope that he will vouchsafe to enlighten our ignorance. But now for the signi ficant passage to which we have alluded, and which we quote from his columns of yesterday. After expressing his satisfaction that the country people in Soinersetshire have not been misled by the erroneous statements in the Ministerial journals respecting the actual condition of the Anti-Corn-law League, which journals have given out that nothing more need be feared from it, inasmuch as it is effectually crushed, our Contemporary goes on to observe : " They assume this fact, and endeavour to lead their readers to the inference that the policy of the Govern ment has been so able as to have led to that result, notwithstanding all the money which the League has collected, and all the efforts which it has made. This is altogether erroneous. The Government has not quenched the revolutionary mischief of the League. The League still relies on compelling the Minister to carry out by. practical measures that principle con cerning buying in the cheapest markets and selling. in the dearest, which he has declared to be in the abstract a sound and just principle." This direct ac knowledgment of the ♦itality and influence of the Anti-Corn-law League will be anything but ac- Iceptable to the monopolist readers of the Post. Mr. MthEs, however, one of the Members for Somer hetshire, who is strongly opposed to the views of this confederacy, holds pretty nearly the same opinion s as our Contemporary, and warns . his constituents not to put the slightest faith in the statements that the League is crushed. We agree with these two com petent authorities that the League is not crushed and is not likely to be crushed ; and we will go further and add, that it will gradually increase in influence, day by day enlarging the sphere of its operations, until the great principles of which it is the exponent and representative are fully carried out into practice. The Madrid journals of the 26th contain no news. The fate of the son and brother-in-law of ZURBANO was not known in the capital on that day, but it was generally believed that orders had been sent for their execution. The Clamor Publico states that orders had also been sent to Cadiz for the execution of General ARNOZ. • MADRID BOURSE, Non. 26.—Three per Cents., for cash, 31 9=16 ; for account, 31i. Fire per Cents., for cash, 23t ; for account, 21. No official intelligence had reached Paris on Mon day of the execution of young ZURBANO and his uncle at Logrono, but nearly all the journals regard it as a matter beyond doubt, and justly comment with severity on the atrocious policy of the Spanish Go vernment. Even the Ministerial Journal des Debats is obliged to chime in with the general cry of indig-, nation, and would willingly keep out of view the fact that the parties who are now committing such cruel ties in Spain are the creatures of the French Court and Cabinet, and were , established in power, if not by French gold, at all events by French intrigue. Of this no impartial observer can entertain a reasonable doubt, and the Government and the Government press of France must come in for a share of the odium ex cited by the despotic and cruel conduct of NARYARZ. That journal now seems disposed to cast him off, and even denies that it had ever supported the party. " Certainly," it says, " we had no great confidence in the Government of Spain, but we were far from ex pecting such enormities, even from a Cabinet directed by NARYAEZ. Are those the men who denounced as a crime the execution of the unfortunate DIEGO LEON, who were to open to their country a new era of reconciliation and peace, and who designed to en , large the field of political discussion ? Now, more than ever, we congratulate ourselves on having re : fused all adhesion to•the acts of this soldier-Govern ment, which holds itself up to universal reprobation." The following particulars respecting the fate of the unfortunate victims are given by the correspondent of the Constitutionnel : "We have related all the details of the arrest of the son and brother-in-law of Zurbano in the environs of Logrono, taken in an olive-grove, where they were found concealed, but without arms. The son, a young man aged twenty-eight, esteemed in the army, in which h pth ne h s seel inhabitants a t e h rank wn e ei rstialt ho oaf of t oit bh m gee 1., a 0 j noworh, Queen's excited oadh G(e lvodevsne ar the h l ihmeeveemnl command oowdm i eo n mru t g e l add r neos spare d s s t ea xra i n e: Burgos, listened to these appeals, and considering, no doubt, that the real, if not the only culprit in the eyes of the Government, w as M art i n Z ur b ano, and that the circumstances 'attending th e ca p ture did not imperativelY prove the complicity of B en it o Z ur b ano and his uncle,therefore, notwithstanding the g enera l or d ers i ssued b Narvaez for shooting Zurbano and his confederates, de ferred the execution, and applied to the Government for express orders. The inhabitants of Logrono, profiting by the respite, sent to Madrid a numerous deputation, among whom were the most important men of au opinions, to lay a petition for mercy at the foot of the throne. The mother and mother-in-law of Benito Zur bano also went to Madrid, and drew tears from the eyes of the Queen -Mother, by throwing themselves in the attitude of supplication in the road by which her Majesty was passing in her carriage. Their ardent prayers and bitter sobs were of no avail. The Government remained implacable. An order was immediately dispatched to Generar Oribe to consummate the execution, and, on the 25th ult. Benito Zurbano and his uncle, with their two servants, were shot at Logrono. This was not all the stern rigour of the Government ; General Oribe was dismissed froth his command for not having blindly fol- lowed his first instructions, and it is even said that 1111 is to be brought before a court-martial." The same journal thus contrasts the conduct of Es ?MUER° under somewhat similar circumstances with that of NARVAEZ Let the deplorable &tails of th• execution of Benito Zurbano, his uncle, and their servants, be compared 1 MONEY AND Co MMEI,CIAL 24k, W S. with the conduct of Espartero's Government towards CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING..

An arrival from the Mauritius brings dates of the 7th September. In order to relieve the pressure for money, the most influential merchants had agreed to take Com pany's rupees at 50 cents for two years. The importa tion of so many labourers caused an increased demand for the metallic currency, and with the Coolies rupees were a favourite coin. The merchants are not yet in receipt of their Indian letters,, consequently we cannot yet express any opinion upon the state of commerce in the East. ~ 973 75 .. 276 76 The market for the English Securities has been very .. 922 SO firm, but the business doing is limited.

I. Pell, of Ulster county, New York, received a gold medal for the best fruit farm. lie states that he has an orchard containing 20,000 trees of one kind of fruit—viz., the Newton Pip- Pin. Here is an orchard worth looking at. We do not know how thickly they are set out, but allowing there is a tree on every square rod, or 160 to an acre, whick is too thick, it must take 125 acres ! Mr. Pell, think ing it rather unprofitable to wait for the bearing year, adopted a plan with some of his trees of spurring up the flagging energies of those that required rest, so as to make them bear every year. Accordingly, he selected a certain number of them; and in April scraped the rough bark from them, washed them with' soft soap. cut off all interfering. branches, paining over the cuts with white paint to keep the water out, and then slit the hark of the body in several places from the ground to the first limbs, so as to prevent their being iiideboulid. He then, in — July, placed a peck of oyster shell lime at the root of each tree, which iu Noverob,T was dug in. The Farmer's Cabinet, frTifft which we obtain this intbrma tion, states that the following year.--Which was, last year, he gathered from these trees 1.700 ba; - :&s.or apples , ancrthat this year they are again tp- tiding to th ground with fruit. Ile sold his apples in New York market for four dollars per barrel, and the remainder in the London market for nine dollars per barrel. Thin is doing good. ...Nos) 1 7 01 Paper.

SUMMARY s i 3 u. - ii 1.1. , ilts.x ',nail :Z^~.x;;:,'s?'. ;tit K:: ; In the Spiini.h rhatabiT of Deptuies, on the 26th, Narvaei, in rqiy ,3,rltAin qu scions ce,pecting the lee events at Logrono, said that the Government were sure of crushing the revolutionists wherever and under what ever shape they might present themselves ; that the occurrences at Logrono were already known to the Chamber, and there remained but to chastise the guilty, which should be done accordin?, to the laws. The Municipal Council of Lyons has voted a sum of 20,000 francs for th. , expense of the t&-,s which are to be given on :h.- occ:ision of th- intended visit of th, Duke and Duchess d'Autuale and the Prince The l'ha, e of Bayonne of the 29th say. :—" Our c respondent at Vittoria sends us the following, dated Nov. 27, and written at the moment the courier was about to start I have this moment received a letter from Logrono, dated the day before yesterday, which announces that Zurbano's son (Benito), his brother-in law (Juan), and two other individuals who had taken part in the insurrection, had been shot.'" In certain quarters, says the Fiance, a promotion to the Peerage is spoken of which is to comprise a well known name in the Opposition. We hesitate to give credit to these reports, but it is the friends of the Mi nistry who repeat them, and who declare that M. Guizot has gained a victory over M. de Cormenin in getting him to accept the Peerage. If this fact be true, it de serves being explained ; and if it be a calumny, as we imagine, it ought to be contradicted as soon as possible. We are well aware that in the dotation question a desire exists to get rid of the powerful athlete who has so often fought against the wishes of the civil list." _ _ A letter from Rome of the 19th ult. states that, not only the trees and shrubs were at that time in bud, from the extreme mildness of the weather, but that the swallows and other birds of passage, which in ordinary seasons would have long ago migrated to other climes, still remained. In the evening of the 27th ult. there was so dense a fog at Bordeaux that it was impossible to distinguish objects only a few yards distant. The Havre journals, in noticing the arrival there of the crew of the Lucie JostAline, which left Havre a short time ago fur Newcastle, to take in a cargo of coals for Algiers, and was shortly afterwards wrecked near Yarmouth, and pillaged by the inhabitants of the coast, state that the captain remains in England, for the pur pose of prosecuting the English pilot, who ran the vessel, as he thinks, intentionally aground. The National Swiss Gazette states that great agita tion again prevails in the Valais, and that a general ex pectation is entertained there of another revolt. The Minister of the Interior has treated, it is asserted, with the Rouen Company for the employment of the electric telegraph. The Government undertakes to pay all the expenses. The company e ill have a private wire, which it can make use of fur matt( rs relating to the line. This was not, it is said, granted without difficulty, the Government wishing to monopolise the mode of com munication as it monopolises the present system of tele graphs. Amongst the objects stolen lately from the residence of the Blucher family are the magnificent sabre enriched with diamonds given by the Prince Regent to the old Marshal, and which oust 10,0001. sterling ; the gold box which inclosed the freedom of the city of Berlin, worth 4,000 thalers (14,0001.) ; and sixteen snuff-boxes. set with precious stones, valued at 39,600 f. The whole is estimated at 43,000/. 4.411.1), AND POLIC b. An indictment against Elgee and others, for conspir ing to cheat at cards, was tried in the Court of Queen's Bench. The jury interrupted the case, by saying that they had made up their minds, and that they found the defendants not guilty. They accompanied their verdict by a strong animadversion upon the evidence produced for the prosecution. The Court of Exchequer was engaged the whole day in trying a Crown prosecution against a person named Bryant, for evading the duties on paper. The Crown received a verdict. At Gloucester, Joseph Higgs was indicted for stealing a silver watch, the property of Richard Alfred Dark, at Stroud, on the 9th of September. The prisoner did not plead when called on by the Clerk of Arraigns, and the jury were sworn to decide whether he was mute of malice, or by the ♦isitation of God. They found that the latter was the case. The prisoner's master, from whom the watch was stolen, was sworn as interpreter, but could elicit nothing conclusive, except that the pri soner intimated that another boy stole the watch. The judge then ordered a verdict of not guilty to be entered as the prisoner's plea. The jury were again sworn on the issue as to whether the boy was of sound mind or not, and returned their verdict that he was not. The poor fellow was then removed from the bar, Mr. Justice Coltman desiring him to be kept in custody during her Majesty's pleasure. Joseph Scott was convicted at York of a burglary in the house of Joseph Brownbridge, the Palace Inn, at Leeds, and sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. The only singular fact in this case was, that though there were several servants in the house, and though the sleeping-rooms of several of the inmates had been en tered and ransacked, no one had been disturbed. In the room occupied by the female servants, the panel was actually broken by the violence used in effecting an en trance. At the Central Criminal Court, Thomas Field, other wise John Easterfield, otherwise Wm. West, described as an agent, aged 65, was charged on an indictment, in cluding three charges, and consisting of as many counts —lst, with obtaining two half-crowns and a sixpence from Win. Wall ; 2d, the same sum from Edward Hammond ; and also a half-crown from W. Harding, with intent to cheat and defraud them thereof. The pri soner is the soi-disant Chancery agent who has before been convicted of similar offences. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Wm. Hutchinson and Charles Rix, two notorious housebreakers, were each sentenced to ten years' trans portation, at the Surrey Sessions, for burglary. An elderly female, most respectably dressed in deep black, and who gave the name of Leah Mary Roper, residing at No. 28, Fleet-street, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with having committed shoplifting, by stealing forty-eight yards of sarsenet, of the value of 6L, the goods and chattels of Messrs. Hardwick, of Hol born, drapers. Mr. Jardine remanded her till Tuesday, to allow of any fresh case being brought against her, but bound the witnesses over to prosecute. At Marlborough-street John Smith, the owner and conductor of a B — ow omnibus, was charged with having violently assaulted Charles Underwood, the owner and conductor of a Blackwall omnibus. The assault was committed in a dispute as to who should get au elderly lady as a passenger ; and during the course of the dis pute the lady herself was grossly insulted by defendant. Ile was fined SL, or two months' imprisonment ; and in addition his license is suspended for two months. Robert Jones of the Montpellier Tavern, at Walworth, was summoned to Union-hall, fur permitting drunkenness and disorderly conduct on his premises, on the occasion of a masquerade, when a young man, named Slade, was killed by falling down stairs ; and another so severely injured, that his life was endangered. The excuse of defendant was that he had let the room, and had no con trol over the proceedings of the conductors of the masque rade. Mr. 'Fraill said that he should inflict a fine of 3/. and costs on the defendant, and that he trusted in future, should any entertainment be given at the Montpel lier, proper arrangements would be made, so as ,to prevent such a dreadful occurrence as that which hap pened on the morning in question.

COUNT! of ELGIN.—TIIE BANKING SYSTEM --A special general meeting of Deputy-Lieutenants, Com missioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, heritors, farmers, manufacturers, and other inhabitants of this county, was held in the Court-house, on Friday week, for the purpose of considering the threatened alteration of the present currency of Scotland.

CURING HAasS.—ln Spain and Portugal, where the hams are remarkable fine, sugar is very commonly used in the proportion of about one pound to two or three of salt, and two ounces of saltpetre; this is most frequently rubbed in dry, the hams being at the same time ex posed to the air ; but if pickle be used, the brine is made with the common wine of the country instead of water. In Westphalia, where the hams also bear a high character, the process is much the same; though juniper berries are commonly added, and the use of sugar is omitted. The pickle is also made of strong beer instead of wine. The peculiar flavour of hams is generally thought to arise from the mode of drying, which is al ways done by smoking them in the large chimneys of the farm-houses, where oak wood is the only fuel used ; whilst in this country, fir, or any sort of timber, and even charcoal is not uncommonly employed. In the curing of hams at Bayonne and Strasburgb, vrbich are so deservedly celebrated, not only is sugar largely used, but garlic, allspice, cloves, and other spices are also used, in different quantities, to add to their flavour ; n or would English curers do amiss in following their ex ample. Sugar must assist both is preserving the me a t _and rendering it mellow , as it corrects the punr, eney whicheitiaten occasions by the too free use of sal t, and a slight taste of spice could do no harm. There is, in deed, in this country, so strong a prejudice against gar lic, that it might not be easily overcome ; but there are few condiments which, if delicately employed, will im perceptibly impart such high flarouros.Farmixg for I Ladits.

One of Planche's clever adaptations from the • French was produced here last evening, under the title of Somebody Else. The scene is laid in the . neighbourhood of Hamburgh, where we find en honest wheelwright, Hans Moritz (Mr. C. Mathews)* has been left in charge of Louise (Miss Lee) by her brother, Moritz's bosom friend, Ernest Waldburg (Mr. Howe), who has gone to America to better hie, fortunes. As might have been expected, Moritz an d Louise fall in love with each other, but neither told. their love. Loui=e, through maiden modesty, en d f Moritz, because he thinks it would be a betrayal o the trust reposed in him to make love to Louise, and in order to avoid the possibility of his being tempte d to make love to her, he actually engages himself to his wild rattling cousin, Minnie (Madame Vestris); He is not aware of the strength of his passion until his jealousy is excited by the attentions of A nondescript sort of German dandy, Herr Fl it ' terman (capitally acted by Brindal), ivb°, ll : he threatens with condign punishment if I. dares to continue his attentions to the girl. At this juncture letters are received from Ernest, announ c " i!ig his approaching return ; and in his letter to Louise he tells her that he brings with him her fir. ture hthband. Louise is in agony. She makes aeon' fident of Minnie, telling her that she loves another, but not that that other is Moritz, and Minnie readiV consents to pass off to Ernst as Louise, whom fr . has not seen since she was a child. Ernest sees her, and is delighted ; Moritz is lost in astonishment A/ her excessive impudence, but in every attempt of hie to explain to Ernest the real state of affairs, she turn s the tables upon him by some clever ruse. Herr Flit- =, terman arrives, and is unceremoniously rejected by both ladies. His arrival, however, brings abou t explanation ; the betrothed each love somebody ele. e ' and Minnie accepts the hand of Ernest, while Moo t° takes that of Louise, protesting all the while, that al though he has long loved her dearly, he has never tou, her so. The piece is admirably acted through out, and Madame Vestris sings a very li ve 1 . vixenish song, to a pretty quaint air, 8 ; she alone can sing such songs. It !‘ sl ci encored as a matter of course.
