THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1844. NOVEL BY THE AUTHORESS OF " THE FLIRT." Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE WILFULNESS OF WOMAN. By the Anthoreas of " THE HISTORY OF A FLIRT," " THE MANCEUVRING MOTHER," Ste. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborbugh-street. accused the Leaguers of " vanity, insolence, and brutal ferocity." But not contented with bespatter ing the latter in his leading article, the Post repeats his attack on them in a letter from a correspondent, which he heads " League Disinterestedness." In this letter occurs the following passage :—" One would suppose that it required more impudence than even the Leaguers possess, to induce them to attribute to their opponents merely interested motives in protesting against the abolition of the corn laws. Why, Sir, are they not compelled to confess—and depend on it nothing but compulsion would induce them to confess—that this measure is the only one calculated to rescue their mills from that state of quiescence into which extravagant specu lation and consequent over-production have reduced them ? Whatever virtues they may arrogate to them selves, and never were individuals less backward in self-laudation, it does seem a little preposterous that they should seek to add disinterestedness to the num ber." What sickening twaddle is all this ! The members of the League never pretended that they were wholly disinterested in their advocacy of the principles of free trade. They are frank, manly, intelligent men of the world, and would scorn to be guilty—first as a matter of taste, and secondly, as a matter of common honesty—of such false, sentimental drivel. They have always boldly and openly declared that by the application of the doctrines of free-trade to the commerce of the country, they themselves, as enterprising capitalists, would be considerably benefited; but that coincident with their benefit would be that also of the commu nity at large. They have never asked for exclusive privileges for themselves ; they have never agitated with a view merely to their own interests ; they have never sought to aggrandise the manufacturers to the detriment of the agriculturists ; their demand has invariably been for fair play to all parties. "By knocking off the fetters that now cripple the limbs of commerce, and abandoning a system of protection by which one small section of the community only is benefited, or supposed to be sod you give industry, enterprise, and intelligence a rea sonable chance of success ; you multiply tenfold their motives to exertion; you call forth powers that have hitherto lain comparatively dormant, and open up new channels of mercantile intercourse; and by so daing, you diffuse the means of enjoyment to an ex tent of which no immediate conception can be formed ; you diminish the worst horrors of poverty ; you give ample work to those who now cannot procure ic ; and bring content, happiness, and prosperity to the poor man's fire-side." Such has been the language invariably held by the members of the League ; such the reasons which they have frankly and boldly assigned for their agitation ; and may Go . l speed the cause which is impelled by such motive's, and enforced in so enlightened and catholic a spirit ! 13, Great Marlborough-street.

If the statement is cor rect, certainly that honour never was so prostituted. AV hat have these men done to merit this :nark of distinc tion? They have destroyed the Constitution, disbanded the National Guards, put down the liPerty of the press, established military despotism, and sanctioned atro • cities at Alicant which bring disgrace even on Spaniards. Will patriotic Frenchmen, who regard the Legion of Honour with veneration, consider its value enhanced when shared with such colleagues ? Thtse papers, as usual, contain long accounts of the movements of the two QUEENS. On the 4th they left the Palace on foot, to attend the religious cere monies usually observed on Holy Thursday. The process'on to the church was headed by a squadron of cavalry, and followed by the municipality, - the magis trates, certain of the Ibreign Ambassadors, and the superior clergy. Count BussoN, the French Ambas sador, walked by the side of the QUEEN, the QUEEN MOTHER was accompanied by her youngest daughter, and an immense crowd, says the Castellano, silently contemplated. the salutary example thus given by the young Sovereign. The Bourse was closed on Holy Thursday. On __— ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE. Great Novelty and new Engagements. THIS EVENING, APItIL 12.

On Twsday the French Chamber of Deputies ap• pointed two Committees to consider the proposed rail. way lines from Orleans to Bordeaux, and from Paris to Lyons. These Committees were appointed by ballot, in order that lines of such importance might meet with impartial consideration. This new mode of appointing Committees was proposed by Al. __ II —_AVIN, with a view to prevent the influence of local interests, and to obtain the choice of those Members who would be most likely to look rather to the public benefit than to the interests of particular departments. Much discussion is expected when the report is made to the Chamber, as a number of Members recommend that Government should make the lines and then lease them to companies, while others are decidedly in favour of the English system, which leaves the con struction in the hands of private companies. In the Chamber of Peers the Education Bill was to be introduced on Friday, and the debate, after the opposition made to the plan by the Church, was looked forward to with much interest. It is generally believed that the French Government in tend to bring forward a measure for abolishing slavery in the colonies, and to appropriate a certain sum, said to be 2,000,000 f., as a compensation to the owners of slaves. Such a plan is extremely probable, as both the Government and the Chambers have for some years shown a strong disposition to put an end to slavery in the colonies. The following appears in the Moniteur of Wed nesday " Lieut. Reine, of the navy, who was one of the Com mission for insuring respect to the Protectorate of France in the Society Islands, and who, since, has acted as Aide-de-Camp to Admiral Dupetit Thouars ' has arrived in Paris. Me is said to have had a long con ference with the Minister of the Marine. It is believed that he has brought and laid before the Minister nume rous documents relative to the late events at Tahiti." We subjoin additional extracts from the journals : "If faith may be placed," says the Sentinelle des Pyrenees, " in a report which has acquired a great con sistency in the Basque Provinces, the Spanish Govern. merit intends suppressing the customs line established on the frontier, and removing it to the place where it existed formerly, that is, on the banks of the Ebro." " A leper from Tunis of the 12th ult. says :---‘ We have just received the visits of two frigates, one Sardi nian, and the other English. They came to inquire of the French and English Consuls whether the Europeans, Sa.rdinians; or of other nations, had anything to fear from the preparations made by the Bey to repel an attack from Sardinia. After remaining a week in the Bay of Carthage, the two ships sailed away again, with assurances that the Europeans were in perfect security. The camp of Mahommedia, three leagues from Tunis, where the Bey is resi din g , is composed of 12,000 regular and 1.5,000 irregular troops, brought from different parts of the regency.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING. The fast-sailing ship St. George, Captain Feunis, arrived here early this morning, having left New York on the 24th ult. (Sunday). By her we have received papers one day later than those received per Hottinguer. The weather continues of the most mild descrip tion, and the inland navigation was almost entirely set free from frost. The New York market was rather quiet for domestic goods, and in cotton there was only a limited business done on the 23d. The Stock market was reported to be in a feverish state, though prices were rather better. The rate of ex change had also sightly improved, bills of first class on London being quoted 108, and on Paris sf. 32c. The Senate had at length come to a vote upon the proposed resolution to give Great Britain notice of the discontinuance of mutual occupancy of the Oregon territory. On the 22d, after a long and able speech from Mr. Savizn, the vote was taken, and the re sult was, Ayes 19, Noes 28, so the notice was re jected. On the division three Southern democratic senators, supposed to be in favour of the annexation of Texas, voted against the friends of the Oregon. This, it is probable, will cause a retaliation by gentle men from the West, when the Texian Treaty is brought forward, and their united force, it is said, will be suf ficient to negative it. They also threaten to vote against the New Tariff Bill ; in fact, their exaspera tien against Messrs. M'DUPFIE, HAYWOOD, and HuGza, who are the gentlemen alluded to, is most violent. There were other motions before the Senate upon Oregon Bills, as they are called, that are more or less interfering with that territory, but it was not thought that the vote upon them would be different to that upon the " notice" upon which all the hopes of the violent party were fixed. There is no other political news of importance. The steam-ship Caledonia arrived at Boston on the 22d. She left Liverpool on the sth of March. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for cotton at Liverpool yes terday, and the slight.advance of Monday was entirely lost. Sales 3,000 bales—viz., 200 Surat, at aid. to 4d. ; 100 Maranham, at 54d. to 6d. ; 100 Pernansa, at 51-,d. to 61d. ; 20 Egyptian, at 71d. ; 100 Bahia, at 61d. ; and the rest American, at sd. to 7d. for Orleans.

Accounts have been received from New York this morning, but only one day later, in point of date, than those before obtained. _ The " annexation of Texas" question appears to be likely to create many divisions among the various creeds of politicians ; indeed, almost ai general as the " factory question " has caused here. The following is a summary of the state of the commer cial markets in New York:— " Within a few days there has been four arrivals of packet-ships from London, Liverpool, and Havre, all of which had very heavy and valuable cargoes. The largest proportion of the cargoes coming in at this sea son is cemposed of dry goods, of foreign manufacture. These goods come into the market before the trade of the country has exhibited any evidence of its extent. Before the jobbine houses knew whether the trade will be double or treble what it was last year, or that it will only be to the same extent, they lay in large stocks of got,ds at the first prices of the season. We notice a g reat number of new names in the business section of the City, most of which are young houses, composed principally of tho.e who have, had but little experience in the dangers arising from overtrading. There are very few of the old houses in existence that e eathered the - gale of 1837 and 1838 ; in fact, very few came throUgh these times un , •cathed. All were crippled and cramped in their resources. The present race of dry goods jobbers do not perfectly understand the ramifica tions of trade, that gradually lead that class particularly, into the troubles and difficulties that assuredly lead to ruin and bankruptcy. " Competition is the life end soul of trade; without it monopolies would eat up the substance of the consuming classes, but rivalry in buiiness often leads to extremes, and all parties are made bankrupt together. The fetter is daily increasing. Our jobbing houses have adopted the same extravagant system of securing customers that was practised to so great an extent in 1836. Our hotels are run down with drummers, who pounce upon a country merchant with all the avidity of a bird of prey. These drummers are supported at an immense expense; they have the run of the city, and liberally supply their customers with all kinds of recreation and amusement, without any other charge than can be found at the foot of their bills. These efforts to secure customers lead to large sales and extended credits. The aim is to do as large a business as possible, and outdo their neighbours. The quantity sold appears to be more of an object than the standing of the buyer." It must be conceded that the recommencement of the " go-a-head" system is not very satisfactory to cautious dealers. The Proprietors of the West India Mail Steam Corn pany were pleased, as well they should be, with the Re port and proceedings at the meeting held yesterday. The perseverance of the Court of Directors, of the com manders of the steamers, and its other principal officers (not forgetting the anxious and unremitting attention of the Secretary, Mr. E. Chappell), have brought this im portant enterprise into a safe harbour, after, at one period, the probability of its being made a wreck. Those who have watched the (progress of the Company, and its at one time manifold difficulties, can only appre ciate its present position and future prospects. We have letters and papers from the Cape of Good Hope this morning, to the 16th of February. It is stated that Sir George Napier had determined to retire from the duties of his office at the commencement of the present month. The report at the Cape was that Sir Colin Campbell would take the office, and that, ad interim, the Lieutenant-Governor would perform official duty. The Boers were about to meet to excite dis content against the British Government. The rising im portance of Natal, now a Bt itish colony, is much dwelt upon. In Colesburg, and other parts of the colony, very heavy rains had fallen. Sergeant Mullin, of the 91st Regi ment, had lost his life in an attempt to cross a river ; his leave of absence having nearly expired. The purchases by the Commissioners this morning were in the Three per Cents. Reduced, at 991. They took from 20,0001. to 30,0001. The Consol market is very firm, and the tendency is most decidedly to advance, although the fluctuations have been rather frequent this morning. Consols for Money have been done at 1001 and 4 ; for Account at 100 - and Q. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents. at 1044 and 104 ; and the Re . duced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1031 and Bank Stock has receded from 2001 to 200; and Exchequer Biils from 765. to 745. The settlement in the Consol Account has gone off very well to-day. The rise in prices since its commence ment has been full 31 per cent. In the Foreign Funds not much business was done to-day. Spanish Actives were firm, at 26i ; and the Three per Cents., at 37 Dutch, Mexican, and the other Bonds in which transactions have been reported, are very nearly at yesterday's rates. The dealings in the Railway Shares have been rather numerous this morning, but the prices have not varied to any extent requiring especial notice. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Lord Huntingtower appeared as complainant, at Marlborough-street, against a horse•-dealer named Alexander, whom he charged with using menacing lan guage towards him, and assaulting him. The evidence proved the existence of much ill-feeling between the parties, arising from old debts and disputes. The de fendant was bound over to keep the peace.

Thoma,s Aberrow, a butcher, living in George-street, Blackfriars-road, was charged, at Union-hall, with in flicting a severe wound on the head of Elizabeth his wife, against whom a charge of attempt at self-destruction was preferred, owing to the alleged ill-treatment of her husband. The Magistrate then inflicted the full penalty of 51. on the prisoner, and, in default of payment, two months' imprisonment, and that he should also enter into his own recognizance of 401., and find two sureties of 201. each to keep the peace, and be further imprisoned until the sureties were found.

On Thursday a numerous meeting of the ironmasters took place at the Town-hall, Birmingham, when an ad vance of 20s. a ton took place, making bar iron 6L to 7/. ; large sheet 81. ; and hoop iron 71. a ton. Foreign and domestic demand, occasioned by newly projected rail ways end manufacturing projects, were said to have caused such a demand for iron as justified this rise of price.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR T CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF BARBER, FLETCHER, AND MRS. DOREY. At ten o'clock Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Baron Gur ney, and Mr. Justice Maule took their seats on the bench. The names of the jury having . been called over, Mr. William Smee was examined by the ATTORNEY GEYRRAL--I am chief accountant to the Bank of England. In 1840 Sir J. Rae Reid was Governor of the Bank. I received written directions from him to trans fer certain stock. The paper I hold in my hand is his order. I, in consequence, transferred 81 Long Annui ties, on the 20th of October, 1840, in the name of Elizabeth Stewart, of Southampton-terrace, Southamp ton-street, Camberwell. I made the transfer myself. The attesting witness is Mr. E. C. Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson was called, and proved that he wit nessed the transfer. John Weldon examined—l am a clerk in the will-office of the Bank. I keep a book called the " Taking-in Book." I have got the date of the 16th October, 1840. I have an entry here madeby myself. Letters of adminis tration, in the name of John Stewart, appear in it on the 16th October. I find the mark of that administration indicated by the words, " Bank Register, K. Z., 73,036." There were documents left in the Bank illustrative of that transaction. There is, first, an application for the transfer of the stock. The next is the burial extract, two baptismal certificates, and a letter from Mr. Coxwell; they were all brought in at the time of the letter of ad ministration. It is not usual to keep letters of adminis tration after they have been registered. They were re turned on the 24th of October. It is customary for the person getting them to sign a receipt for them. The name to the receipt is that of " W. H. Barber." The receipt was put in and read. . William John Donald examined—The handwriting in the book handed up to me, I believe to be that of Mr. Barber. I have no doubt of the signature being in his handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. Wriams—l do not recollect seeing Mr. Barber write. I know his writing from pay ing cheques with his name to them. Mr. Weldon, in reply to a question from Mr. GRAVES, said it was not usual to produce the bond of adminis tration at the Bank. To Mr. WILKINs—The entry in the Bank-book is not all in the same handwriting. The name of Stewart is in the handwriting of Mr. Ripon. Mr. J. B. Ripon—l am clerk to the Bank. I was so at the period alluded to ; some of the writing in question is my handwriting, and part is in the handwriting of two other persons. The date of 24th of October is in my handwriting. That is the day on which the papers were delivered. The signature is that of the person who received them. Of that there is no doubt; such is the practice of the Bank. The ATTORNXY-GENERAL then put in a letter signed by Elizabeth Stewart requesting the re-transfer of the stock, which was read by the Clerk. It stated that application would have been made long before but that the writer was in America, and had not heard of the death of her brother John Stewart till many years after it had occurred. The register of the marriage of John and Janet Stewart, in the parish of Callendar, Perthshire,ton the 17th of October, 1756, was then put in and read. The certificate of the burial of John Stew art, in Great Mar low, by the Rev. Mr. Coxwell, on the 19th March, 1827, was also put in and read, as well as a letter from Mr. Coxwell to Mr. Barber, stating that on the gravestone of the deceased John Stewart was of the age of 65 ; that he did not know of his having made a will, and did not know any-thing about his papers. Mr. Grattan was recalled, at the request of Mr. WIL KINS, and said that he believed the letter handed up to him was in the handwriting of Joshua Fletcher. Mr. Hill, a member of the Stock Exchange, examined —My office, in 1840, was in 23, Threadneedle-street. I know the prisoner Barber. In October he called at my office, and requested me to accompany him to the Bank to identify him. I did so. We saw Mr. Gray, the Deputy-Accountant. I saw a female there, in dark clothes. She was between 40 and 50, I think. She did nut appear to to;.. feeble. I don't think she was an aged person, but the time is long passed, and I do not well re collect. She was a little above the middle stature. I don't recollect whether she was pale or fresh-coloured. Mr. Barber introduced her to nee as Mrs. or Miss Stew art. The usual document, " Wm. H. barber known to me," was then given to me, which I signed. Mr. Donald was called, and proved that the signature " W. H. Barber," to the document was in the hand writing of Barber. Mr. Hill recalled—Barber called upon me on the 24th of October. Mr. Beaden produced the transfer-book of the 24th October. Mr. Hill continued—He gave me instructions to sell 511. Long Annuities out of thename of Elizabeth Stewart, Southampton-terrace, Southampton-street, Camberwell, I sold the stock, and Barber came to my office, about two o'clock. We went to the transfer• office together, and the transfer was effected by the same female whom I had before seen at the Bank. I gave the cheque pro duced to Mr. Barber for 6521. 9d. I afterwards disco vered that I had paid him 31. 3s. 9d. too much. Instead of being sold at 124, it had been sold at 12 11-16ths only. 1 then went to see Mr. Barber, but could not find him. I afterwards went to the bankers, and found that the cheque had been paid in gold. I told Mr. Barber of this, and he remarked that they wore " silly country people, and were alarmed at the rumours of war with France which then prevailed." I asked him for the ad dress of Elizabeth Stewart, and sent a letter to her by my clerk, but it was returned. I afterwards got the . 31. 3s. 9d. from Barber. Cross-examined by Mr. Wrexixs—l was a member of the Southwark Literary Society, and Mr. Barber was a member of the committee. As far as I know he always stood high in respectable society. The Committee was foi med of some of the first men in the Borough. Lord Brougham had presided on one occasion at a meeting of the Society. My memory is not distinct about the female's appearance, but to the best of my recollection she did not exceed 50 years. I have seen Lydia Saun ders and Mrs Dorey. Re-examined—On the second occasion I identified the female. The stock could not be sold without that. I have no doubt of her being the same person I had seen before. Were Ito see her now dressed as she was then, I think I could recognise her. To Mr. Baron GURNEY—The letter was brought back by the clerk in consequence of the lady being out. I told my clerk to bring it back if she was not there. Mr. Harding—l was a cashier in Sir J. Lubbock's bank. I paid the cheque produced in gold. 652 sove reigns, or sovereigns and half-sorereigns. Mr. Tillotson, clerk in the public drawing-office of the Bank of England—l have an entry of the 17th October, 1840. The order of the chief cashier, dated the 22d October, is for the payment of 729/. 10s. I paid the money, which appears to have been received by Eliza beth Stewart ; that name being on the bill. I have no distinct recollection of the fact, or the person who re ceived it. Mr. Donald recalled—The words " administratrix, Southampton-terrace, Camberwell," I believe to be in the handwriting of Barber. Mr. Tillotson re-called—l paid the order 6301. in notes. The remainder I did not pay. Mr. F. C. Hillary, another Bank clerk, paid 1091. les. in gold and silver, Mr. Tillotson again recalled, and proved the number of the notes. Joseph Durmer, an in-teller of the Bank of England, examined—On the 2d November, 1840, I exchanged for gold some Bank of England notes in the name of Stewart. There were four of 4001. each, three of 201., eight of 10/., and six of 51. The amount of all was 5701. I filed them, and another clerk came down and took them. Mr. W. P. Ord examined—ln 1840 I was clerk in the Bank of England. lam now in the Leeds branch. On the 2d of November, 1840, I took the notes from the file of Mr. Durmer. They were. entered in his book in the name of Stewart. I have the particulars of the notes. Mr. Grattan was recalled, and proved that the name, " Elizabeth Stewart," on the notes, was in the hand writing of Joshua Fletcher. James C. Strode, examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I for merly resided at Port-garden, Great Marlow. I had an uncle at Tyam Inn Lodge in 1800. He had a gardener named Stewart. My uncle died in July, 1809. Sir Simon Le Blanc bought the estate in 1811, and Stewart re mained with him. In 1820 he came to reside with me. He died in 1827, and I put up a stone to his memory. He told me he had no relation but one brother, who lived in Scotland, and of whom he had not heard for many years. After his death some of his papers came into my hands. Amongst them I found stock receipts amonting to 51/. Long Annuities. I know the hand writing of Stewart. The indorsement on one of the papers, "my own private affairs," is in his hand writing. The papers are as they were when found. They were in a tin case. Cross-examined by Mr. GRAVES—I cannot recollect by whom they were given to me, but it was by one of my servants. I believe I was absent when he died, but I returned the following day. Mr. John Hunter, the sessions clerk of the Cannon gate, in Edinburgh, produced a book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Kirk Sessions. Mr. GRAVES objected to the evidence. The period about which the witness was to speak was sixty-two years ago (May 27, 1782), and the witness had stated he was only fifty-nine. He could not, therefore, speak to anything of that period, except from what he found in the book, which was not admissible. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL argued that the book was admissible, to show who filled certain offices at a particu lar period long since passed. Mr. Baron GURNEY (to witness)—Does the book con tain any register of births and marriages? 'Witness — No, my Lord. Those are kept in separate volumes. This contains the minutes of the Kirk Sessions. Mr. Baron GURNEY—That is a part of the Church of Scotland? Witness—Yes, my Lord. Mr. Baron GURNEY said that, if the evidence was not of importance, it would be better not to press it. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Said it was a matter of very considerable importance. After some further discussion, Mr. Baron GURNEY asked Mr. Strode if all those papers acre in the tiu case on the day after Stewart's death? Mr. STRODE replied that Stewart had died on the Tuesday night ; that the box had been delivered to him (the witness) on his return on the Wednesday night following, when the tin box was delivered to him con taining all the documents it at present contained. The paper proposed to be given in evidence having been handed up to the Court, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to argue in favour of the admissibility of the document, as the Court of Kirk Sessions was a public Court, recognised by law. The Learned Gentleman then recalled the witness Hunter, who stated that it was usual in Scotland, on a person leaving a congregation, to give him a certificate, signed by the elders, if he asked for it, and that the certificate so obtained would admit him as a member of another congregation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL tendered the document in evidence, in order to show that, in 1782, John Stewart had obtained such a certificate from the Kirk Sessions, and that, consaquently, he must, at that time, have been a member of that congregation, which would show where he was at the time, and how connected with Scotland. Mr. Baron GURNEY said the Court was of opinion that the document could not be received in any shape. Mr. Strode recalled—l never recollect to have seen Barber except at the Mansion-house. In September, 1840, I received the letter produced. Mr. Donald recalled, proved that the letter was in the handwriting of Barber. In answer to Mr. WILKINS, the witness stated that Barber banked at the Bank of England, and that his account was generally very low. Witness floes not know the handwriting ofM`Namara, a clerk in Barber's office. Mr. Strode recalled—This is the answer I wrote to that letter. The letters were then read. The first was dated Sept. 8, 1840, signed W. H. Barber, and directed to R. H. Strode, Esq. It stated that the writer had been employed by Miss Stewart, sister of J. Stewart, deceased, and asking for the stock receipts and other documents of the deceased. The other was Mr. Strode's answer, dated Tunbridge "Wells, and stated that the papers of his late gardener, Stewart, were in possession of his solicitors, Messrs. Pickering, to whom he referred the applicant. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I did not keep the letter of the 11th September, referred to in my answer. Neither Mr. Barber, nor any other person, applied to me for the arrears of wages due to deceased. By Mr. GRAVES—I put the grave-stone over de ceased. The inscription was correct. He appeared about sixty. I paid for it out of Stewart's money. I do not know that Mr. Cockspur, the vicar, ever had a box belonging to Stewart in his possession. Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The age stated cn the grave-stone was sixty-five. I think he was that age, from what I have heard about the time he left Scotland. Edward Thompson, examined by Mr. CLARKSON— I am one of the firm of Pickering and Co., solicitors, Lin coln's Inn. We are concerned for Mr. Strode. I heard from Mr. Strode of Stewart's death in 1840. After that applications were made to us on the subject of his property by the prisoner Barber. The first application was on the 19th of September, 1840. He called. He afterwards produced letters of administration. He wanted me to give him information respecting the pro perty of the late John Stewart. He said he applied on behalf of the sister. I told him I knew there was no sister, and that I had always understood Stewart had no relations whatever. He asked me for the stock receipts which had been given me by Mr. Strode. I told him I should give him no information, as I was not satisfied. He said the Prerogative Court was satis fied, and had granted letters of administration. I said I knew Stewart had no relations, and would give him no information. He said that an affidavit had been made ; I asked to see it. He said it had been filed, and he would show me a copy. He said the sister was an old woman, and had just returned from America. I asked to see her. He said she was very infirm, and could not come. He called on the 24th with a copy of the affidavit. There were no certificates with it, although referred to in it. He said they were filed. I refused him informa tion, and said we were so perfectly satisfied that Stewart had no relations, that we would give him no information, except he produced perfectly legal evidence. He ap peared much surprised. I have a clerk, named Besant, who was present at some of the interviews. A. S. Besant—l am a clerk in the office of Pickering and Co. I was present at an interview between Barber and the last witness, on the 24th September. On the Ist October following, Barber called at the office. I told him the affidavit he had left was not satisfactory, and pointed out in what I considered it unsatisfactory. I believe the affidavit was taken away that day by Barber. I told him that this meeting at the Bank with her brother, alluded to in the affidavit, should be better ex plained. It was an odd place for them to meet. I re quired information as to where deceased was born, and where he went to school ; and I said it was odd that this lady having come from America, should have sent a person to Marlow instead of going herself. I alluded also to the want of certificate. He appeared much sur prised, and asked what would satisfy us? I said, in formation that the sister dould very easily give if we could see her. He said we could not see her, she was indisposed. At his request I made a memorandum of the information we required, and gave it to him. He took it, and said be would get the information we requested. lie never called again. We received 'this letter from him. dated Oct. 31. (The letter having been proved as to the writing, was read. It requested Mr. Strode,, the client of Mr. Pickering, to inform the writer what sum was due to the late J. Stewart, whether for wages or otherwise.) This is a copy of our answer, dated Nov. 13, 1840. (It stated that the writer begged to inquire who Mr. Barber's client was, and by what right that client interfered, and that if on behalf of the person alleging herself to be the sisterof deceased, they were not satisfied she was the sister, and should not attend to the application.) On 4th November we received the following letter from Mr. Barber.—(This letter stated that his client was the administratrix and sister of the deceased, and that he had shown to them the letters of administration, and stating that the Bask Directors had admitted the claim of Mrs. E. Stewart, and had transferred the stock to her name, and that, therefore, she was entitled to the infor mation she required, without being driven to the ex pense of adverse proceedings.) This is our answer to that application.—(lt was dated 6th of November, 1840, and stated that when they were satisfied that Elizabeth Stewart was sister of the intes tate, they would give every information, and re quested answers to the queries which had been pre viously put to him.) We heard nothing more of Mr. Barber after that letter. The queries were, where was deceased born ? Where did he go to school ? When did he leave home ? Which of his parents was alive at that time.) Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—I do not recollect hearing Mr. Barber say the certificates were filed. If I had I should have known where to find them at the Prerogative-office. We had one trifling transaction with Mr. Barber since. About a year ago he was concerned for a person against whom we had brought an action. Re-examined by Mr. BODKIN—There were no office copies of the certificates produced. Mr. WiLxnes—lt is not usual to give office copies of exhibits. Mr. Seaton, of the Prerogative-office, recalled—lt is usual to give office copies of the exhibits, if they are asked for. At this point of the proceedings the Court adjourned for a few minutes, for refreshment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A Lascar named Gulamazan, and a man named Thornton, a sailor, were brought before Mr. Twyford, charged with exposing for sale a quantity of obscene prints and songs in Covent-garden. Mr. Mitchell, the solicitor to the Society for the Sup pression of Vice, attended for the prosecution. The case was fully proved against the prisoners. Their defence was that they could not sell common prints and songs, and therefore they were obliged to resort to the sale of these obscene works, to obtain their livelihood. Mr. TWYFORD inquired where it was that they got the prints and songs from? Thornton was understood to express his determination of forfeiting his life rather than divulge this secret. The prisoners were then sentenced to three months' imprisonment each. Barnaby, one of the officers of the Court, took the songs and prints into his possession. .MARYLEBONE.. 7 (THIS DAY.) Margaret Jones, a respectably dressed female, - was brought up before Mr. Long, charged by her master, Mr. John Knaggs, surgeon, No. 1, Mornington-crescent, Hampstead-road, in whose service she lived as cook, with stealing three silver spoovs, marked with a griffin's head, his crest, and pawning the same. The evidence proved that the prisoner had offered the property for sale at Mr. Crinch's, 33, Grafton-street, where the shopman, suspecting that they were dishonestly come by, taxed her with the fact, when she attempted to run away, but was given into custody.—The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) George Mayberry was charged before Mr. Trail f, with committing a violent assault on Michael Hennessey, who was unable to attend owing to the serious nature of the injuries he had received. It appeared that Hennessey and an aged man, his father, were fighting with each other the preceding after noon in Charlotte-street, Blackfriars•road. A gentle man, on witnessing the scene, interfered, saying that it was a shame to allow such doings ; upon which young Hennessey,witk an oath, exclaimed that he would murder any person who interfered, and immediately struck the gentleman. The defendant, who happened to be passing at the time, with an adze handle, endeavoured to pacify Hennessey, who attacked him, and he (defendant) struck his assailant with the adze, and completely disabled him. Mr. Trail said that it appeared the defendant was provoked to commit the assault on Hennessey, who was in the hospital. Under all the circumstances of the case, he (Mr. Trail) should call upon the defendant to enter into his own recognizance, to appear on a future day, in the event of a fatal termination to the case. Elizabeth Jones, a woman with each side of her face decorated with a quantity of artificial flowers, was charged with robbing an elderly gentleman, named Chalks, of a purse, containing a sovereign. The complainant stated, that as he was returning home to Walworth the preceding night, in passing over London-bridge, he was accosted by the prisoner, who endeavoured to force her company on him. He how ever walked on quickly, to avoid her, and when he got into Lock's-fields he there found she was still after him ; and she there came up and began to " fondle" him. He told her, he wanted none of her " fondling," having an old woman at home, upon which the prisoner thrust her hand into his pocket and robbed him of his ?arse and money. He accused her of the act, but she began to swear at him, and tried to escape, but a police man coming up, he gave her into custody. The money, however, was not found, and it is supposed she swal lowed the sovereign._ The empty purse was found at d,ylight, near the spot where the occurrence took place. The prisoner, who infests the road in question for the purpose of plundering men on their way home, merely denied the charge. Mr. 'TftAna. being of opinion that the committal fur trial of the prisoner would not insure a conviction, dealt summarily with the case, by inflicting a penalty of 40s. on the prisoner, and, in default, committed her for a mouth to the treadmill. 3IARKET HIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDA The number of Wheat samples offering was by no means large, yet the demand for English qualities was extremely dull, at barely stationary prices. Foreign Wheat was nominal in value, scarcely a single transaction being reported in it• A large supply of foreign Barley having been received, the trade was very dull, and the inferior qualities gave way ls. per quarter.

The admirable condition in which Grisi has returned to us is the common subject of remark at the Opel * The approbation which is awarded her is not i nereli, that which is awarded to an establi s hed f avou rite, b!: there is in it something of the. freshness of the pro' s " which is bestowed on a successful debutante. All eel to acknowledge that she was, as it were, behind a clou d last season, and that she has now come f o rward al t.e pristine brilliancy. The mellowness of her voice, to r finished neatness of her passages, the delicacy of M a colouring, are the constant themes of admiration, at are lauded as if they were something new. " 11° beautiful did Grisi sing to-night 1" is the general Oat . lation at the close of the opera, while not a few a u° " How beautiful did Grisi look !" Last night she appeared as Nemorina in Don Pasqu i.es and quite sustained that position in the es ti ma ti o n of P . , hearers, which she gained by h er El v i ra on T u esder Charming is the ease and playfulness of h er act i ng , diatr . ing the low of liquid melody with whi c h s h e regal the audience. Now the notes com e rus hi n g fort h in full richness and luxuriance, now they are scatter to with a lightness which would seem scarcely sufficient convey them to the ear, and yet they fall as distinct; and as clearly articulated as possible. The finale, in ar lll , o all the power of her voice was contrasted with all if., softness, in which the unimpeded torrent of sound "2, suddenly followed by the most delicate vocal scinthr t. flung, left the audience in a state of perfect delig u , s ,. Lablache (who can never grow old) treats the cheroo t, of Don Pasquale like a master in his art. While hie superb voice rolls magnificently through the music , has a thousand humorous devices to fill up the g a is i gt which are left in the piece, and to mak e an agreestu, comedy of a most meagre opera. If any one , not hal lti r, heard Don Pasquale a s it is performed, w ore s oberll, o turn over the music, what an ineffective affair would I" anticipate ! how would be sigh at h av i ng to t ° o through pages of unmeaning, dull recitative, to cone t , the pretty melodies, so few and far betwee n ! Yet'' the hands of such artists as Grisi and Lablache, ths shadow becomes a substance : humour, life, spirits t :. ec ; vivacity are kept in ceaseless play throughout, so Per' is Grisi as the mischievous young widow ; so perfe e ., s ,,el Lablache as the amorous and afterwards afflicted - ret , gentleman. Fornasari, who was not quite in full f ° on Tuesday, had evidently recovered last night his ,„ ° ? . js fidence and power. He had thrown off a weight wsu r i f seemed to encumber him, and sang delightfullis acted with greater spirit than he ever before displalthe Mario was, of course, to have sung the serenade.' he one piece in the opera which has f o u n d :it s wa y to t OO ear of the universal public ; but the followin g 110 till s e told the audience they were to b e disappointed. lt 03 be remembered that on Tuesday a slight hoarseness 9 ' in the way of Mario's beat endeavours : the " The indulgence of the nobility, subsc r ib er s, arie ;>1 public, is solicited in behalf of Signor Corelli, whott consequence of the illness of Signor Mario, has, few hours' notice, consented to appear this ever,los Ernesto,' to prevent a total disappointment." i se. The privation was the more to be endured, as it e ilis interesting to surmise how that rising tenor, t elf would succeed , in an air which Mario h a d eonWi e to ta made his own. He sang it not only with th a t good oe which has always been observed in him, but with se t ici• tensity of feeling which could scarcely h ave b e en 9° de' pated. He received a hearty encore, and w e ll he de served it. As usual, the four principal artists O l of their appearance before the curtain a t th e con clusi° e the opera. q l° It was followed by a divertissement, i n whic h , e v " Polka" is danced, by Carlotta and P e r ro t, and V o tas course, agreeable, for what pas executed by Ca l :, et' could be otherwise ! The lady and gentleman a r ; the tired in that Sclavonic kind of costume in whie' p att military jacket and neat little boot cut so progur!i e figure ; and they stamp at one another, and gn i tr , one another, and the lady looks a myriad of coqu e h ies over her shoulder at the gentleman, and then seize f , s ba, by the arm, and drags him round and round, as , 1 ,o rl thought the arm and the socket of th e s h ou lder es', he divorced. Admirably done this was, and it 0 ; es pretty spectacle, for Carlotta is the mos t f a scinati a ' coquettes.
