Morning ... 55 minutes after 5.1 Evening ... 12 minutes after 6. proof was not necessary, and that the fact of its having been distributed in the presence of the tra versers, and therefore with their knowledge and con sent, rendered it admissible evidence. The document was admitted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then applied to put in evidence that portion of the speech of her MAJESTY on the prorogation of Parliament, ieferring to Ire land, and expressing her determination to maintain the Union. Mr. MoouE objected to this course, but the speech was admitted by the Court, on the ground alleged by the Crown lawyers, that it had been commented on in several speeches of Mr. O'CoNNELL, which formed the subject matter of the indictment. The speech, or rather the extract from it, was read from the London Gazette of August 25. JAMES IRWIN, station-house clerk of police at Liver pool, was the next witness examined. He proved the posting of a placard in that town, containing the " Address to all the Subjects of the British Crown." C. VERNON, registrar of newspapers, proved the registration of the Pilot, Nation, and Freeman's Jour nal newspapers, by Mr. BARRETT, Mr. DUFFY, and Drs. GRAY and AMMON, as the respective proprie tors of each. The conclusion of the day's proceedings consisted of law arguments on both sides as to the admissibi lity or rejection of certain extracts from the Nation newspaper. We add the following extract from a letter written by one of our Dublin correspondents :—" The evi dence for the Crown is expected to close on Thursday There was a report that the traversers would not pro duce any evidence, the peaceable character of the meetings being established by every witness called by the Crown, but it now appears it is their in tention to call evidence, and particularly Protestant evidence, to prove the perfect repose of the country, and the peaceable character of the agitation. Not a point is raised by the Counsel for the traversers which is not ruled against them by the majority of the Bench. Mr. Justice BURTON, who is not likely to sit again during these trials, was cer tainly disposed to decide according to law, and there was at least an absence of bad feeling on his part. His illness is a loss to the traversers. The contrast between those he left behind on the Bench is now more prominent. The " sliding scale" is gone, and the Chief and his left hand brother are left to rule or overrule as they please. With regard to the jury, the opinion becomes more general that they will prove " good men and true," on one side, though gentlemen of Conservative principles offer bets that the jury will not agree. Whatever be the result, the cause of Repeal will be strengthened." We would give no small trifle, to know what report Lord ELIOT, when he arrived in London on Wednes day morning from Dublin, made to his chiefs as to the state of Ireland. He, no doubt, reported that, thanks to the care taken by that most excellent Crown officer, Mr. Attorney-General. SMITH, the traversers now en their trial had been deprived of all privileges, and been put on their defence with as little chance for themselves as possible. That, thanks to those exemplary functionaries the parties con cerned in making out a fair jury list, nearly one tenth of the entire number had been suppressed, and thus, the traversers had been confined to a panel con cocted by those gentry. That, thanks to those who now administer justice to Ireland, every Roman Catholic had been struck from the panel, and that none but Orangemen and Tories had been left on the jury. That, thanks to the Judges, every point raised in favour of the traversers, had been ruled against them. That, although the evidence. for the prosecution had signally failed, that circumstance would do no good to the traversers, and that conviction was, at the mo ment Lord ELIOT left Dublin, believed to be certain, and that so far the ends of the Government were attained. Fancy, Lord ELIOT grasping the hand of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, or Sir ROBERT PEEL, and exclaiming— " Thus far into the bowels of the land Have we marched on without impediment." And, after the first burst of enthusiasm had subsided, picture the wily Premier coolly asking his overjoyed Secretary, well, what then ? " Aye, there's the rub !" What then ? O'CONNELL convicted—a verdict for the Crown — after a prosecution concocted and got up in such a manner—before a jury so selected—and after such proceedings in Court and out of Court! Will any living creature tell us, what the Crown can do with such a verdict—of what earthly use it will be to the prosecutors—and how it will serve the purposes they profess to have in view—namely, the putting down of the Repeal agitation. We tell them such a verdict as they hope and seek, such a verdict as they be lieve they have ensured, will be utterly useless to them. It will be vox et preterea nihil, or, as an Irish Latinist translated it, all moonshine, to the accused, but death to the prosecutors. The public like justice purely administered—they respect the laws dispensed legally, and for legal ob jects; but they despise justice turned inside out— bearing the name, but not the substance dispensed without regard to the statute book, and rendered subservient to the worst passions of tyrants, rene gades, and persecutors. The conviction of O'CoNNELL will be destruction to the present Government. Its temporary triumph will be the forerunner of its complete disgrace. And what if the Jury should do their duty ? We pause for a reply. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 17th instant. The ex-Minister, OLOZAGA, who is now at Lisbon, had addressed a letter to the electors of Madrid, in which he states, if they elect him a Deputy to the Cortes, he will take his seat as soon as his political friends may judge it advisable. He attributes his flight to the personal danger to which he was exposed, and the threats publicly made against him. The Government, it would appear, are determined to keep the press in order, and not suffer even an advertise ment to be published without their permission. "No species of advertisement," the Political Chief an nounces, " whether printed or in manuscript, can in future be:distributed without my permission, with the exception of play-bills, and those of other public amusements." The Madrid Gazette of the 17th publishes the fol lowing decree of the Finance Minister : " 1. All persons indebted to the Treasury for overdue contracts, may liberate themselves by paying 17 per cent. in specie, and 83 per cent. in overdue coupons of the home and foreign consolidated debts. " 2. All persons having to pay purchases of national property according to the new centralisation, may effect their payments by giving 18 per cent. in specie, and 82 per cent. in bonds of the home and foreign debts as above. " 3. Persons having payments to make to the Trea sury in discharge of engagements due, will be at liberty to avail themselves of the above dispositions, provided they do so before the Ist of next March." The Three per Cents. were done at for cash, 26 7-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 19i at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber on the ad dress, at the sitting of Monday, possesses considerable interest, showing at the same time the hostility of many Members to England, and the firm and frank determination of M. GUIZOT to adhere to a policy which he justly considers the safest and best for his country. His speech, in reply to that of M. THIERS, which we published on Wednesday, will be found in another part of the paper. It is well worth perusal. In adverting to the amendment of M. BILLAULT, re lative to the phrase " entente cordiale," the Journal des Debats says, " The question whether the Cabinet shall - continue to exist or not was distinctly and re solutely put in the sitting of yesterday. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, driven to the point by mean and petty cavils, came forward, and in clear and direct terms called upon the Chamber to declare categorically whether it wished to maintain or destroy the work of pacification and reorganisa tioa to whi c h th e Mi n i s t r y o f October 29 had r 9! ", Three years d evo t e d a ll its mind, all its en deavours, all its influence. The majority replied, the Ministry found it to be intact, faithful, and persever ing ; the same ma j or i ty that for three years has given its concurrence on every important, every solemn occasion. This question was mooted three times during the last session, not to go further back, and every time it was resolved triumphantly for the Ministry. Now, let the Opposition probe and dissect at its leisure the pretended misunderstandings of the Cabinet and the Conservative party ; let the Honour• able M. DUPIN, whom we have great embarrassment in classing, and who can safely assail all parties with out risk of wounding himself, dart out his wit And ' sarcasms upon the indissoluble union of the Ministry and the Conservative party. Yes ! this union is close and firm, much more indissoluble than others wish. The majority of yesterday was one more unanswer able proof that, although itexercised upon occasions that freedom which is the essence and honour of Parlia mentary government, it nevertheless is determined to rally ana reunite whenever the fundamental policy, and with it the existence, of the Cabinet is at stake. It proved in a word that there-subsists between it and the Ministry of October 29 an entente cordiale." Notwithstanding an angry speech from that "ill conditioned " statesman M. DUPIN the elder, and great excitement in the Chamber caused by his remarks on the English alliance, the Ministry prevailed, and M. BruAuvr's amendment was rejected by a majority of 30, according to the Constitutionnel. The National says it was only. 25. M. D UFAURE, and about twenty Members of the left centre, declined to vote. The Legitimatists voted for the amendment. On Tuesday the discussion was resumed, when the Indefatigable M. MI, LAULT proposed the following para graph relative to the right of search :—" This accord cannot be complete and durable till such time as ne gotiations, conducted with perseverance, shall, by continuing to repress an infamous traffic, have again placed French vessels under the exclusive surveillance of the national flag." After a brief speech from M. Guizor, in which he stated that his object was to place French commerce under the protection of the national flag, M. BIL• LAULT withdrew his amendment The Funds showed a tendency to decline on Tues day, the Three per Cents. closing at 82f. 45c. ; and the Fives at 124 f. 70c. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, JAN. 23.

INDIA Housz.—On Wednesday a ballot was taken at the East India-house for the election of a director in the room of William Stanley Clarke, Esq., deceased. At six o'clock, the glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers; who re ported that the election had fallen on Major James Oliphant. The Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P., accom panied by Lady Georgiana and his eldest son, made a tour of the manufacturing towns of the West Riding, last week, during his stay in the neighbourhood of Leeds, and was the guest of William Beckett, Esq., M.P., at Kirkstall Grange. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR WILLIAM JOHNSTON, K.C.B.—Lieutenant-General Sir William Johnston, K.C.8., Colonel of the 68th Regiment, expired on Tuesday last, at Southampton, in the 72d year of his age. In the published records of the 68th Regiment we find that Sir William entered the army as Ensign on the 3d of June, 1791 ; embarked for Toulon in 1793, and was present at the action of the heights when General O'Hara was made prisoner. He subsequently served in Corsica, and was present at the capture of Bastia and Calvi, in which affair he was wounded. He became a Lieutenant on the 7th of January, 1794, and Captain on the 4th of April of the following year. He accompanied the expedition to Tuscany in 1797, attained the rank of Major on the 27th of February, 1800, and served in the expedition against the Danish and West India islands in 1801, and in the Wakheren expedition. He attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel on the 25th of April, 1808, and commanded the 68th at the siege of Flushing in the following year. He received a medal and two clasps for Salamanca, Vittoria, and Orthes ; in the battle of Vittoria he was severely wounded. By the demise of this distinguished officer, another regiment, the 68th, is placed at the disposal of the Commander-in- Chief. MEPHAM, THE INNOCENT CONVICT.—This young man, who, it will be remembered, was transported about two years since for an alleged attack on Mr. Killick, of Weavering-street, but whose innocence has been proved, and a free pardon having been dispatched for him, ar rived in Maidstone, in good health, on Monday last, to the great joy of his friends. He was sent to Hobart Town, and from thence about sixty miles into the bush, to a place called the Cascades, clearing land, with other convicts, where his work continued from half-past five in the morning till six at night in the summer, with half an hour for breakfast and an hour for dinner. He re mained at this work for about twelve months. The first intimation which he received of his pardon having been granted, was by a paragraph, which Mr. Carr, a super intendent of convicts, inclosed to him in a letter, and which had been cut out from some English newspaper. He did not receive the official letter till a considerable time afterwards, namely, on the 2d of August, within a week of which date the authorities had provided a free passage home for him in the Eudora, which reached Eng land on Monday last. A considerable sum has been sub scribed for him, with which it is intended to set him up n some small way of business. = Maidstone Gazette. THE SECRET PASSION.—The numerous readers of works of imagination will, we have no doubt, learn with more than ordinary gratification that the author of those truly original productions, " Shakspeare and His Friends," and " The Youth of Shakspeare , ' has prepared for them an entertainment of the most attractive kind, in a novel just published, with the title of " The Secret Passion ;" in which will be found a story of very singular interest, varied in a raanner altogether new to the novel reader, with the most striking delineations of those important agents in thegreat drama of life, the moral feelings, both under merely physical influences, and in co-operat ion with the highest intellectual cultivation. This work may be char.. acterised as a romantic and picturesque study from human life, coloured with the glowing hues of passion and poetry, and is cal culated, we think, to make a lasting impression on the public mind. TILE GENERAL CITY OF LONDON PENSION SO CIETY.—A festivity yesterday was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, emanating from the Direc tors, Committee, and supporters of the Society, for the purpose of presenting to their secretary, Mr. H. F. Richardson, a testimonial in honour of and to record his services on behalf of the charity. About 40 gen tlemen, including the principal officers of the charity, partook of a most sumptuous entertainment, provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The bill of fare was ad mirable, and the wines perfection. The testimonial, which was, preseßted in due form and appropriate terms, consisted of a magnificent and richly-chased centre ornament, the base of which was in burnished silver. From the base, supported by the trunk of the acanthus, rested the figure of Charity, with her attri butes. Surmounted by these rested a vase bearing the exotics which art had, at this season, brought to a sem blance of perfection. The base of the pedestal was comprised, of three compartments. In the first were engraved the armorial bearings of the individual ho noured, Mr. H. F. Richardson ; in the second was a highly complimentary inscription ; and in the last com partment of the tripod was a memorial of the presen tation, and the names of the committee and subscribers. Mr. H. F. Richardson, on the presentation of the tes timonial, acknowledged the compliment in feeling and appropriate terms. The evening was spent in the utmost hilarity and good feeling, both of the latter being ma terially aided by the vocal efforts of Messrs. Bruton and Martin. In the report which appeared in The Sun on Tues day, stating that 30 donations had been received on the previous day at Marlborough-street Police-court—it should have been " applications for relief ;" and with reference to the letters delivered to the Magistrate, none came by post, nor were supposed by him to contain any contribution. DROWNING Or A LIGHTERMAN IN TUB THAMES. —On Wednesday morning, at eleven, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Ship, High-street, Wapping, on view of the body of George Ellis, a lighterman. It appeared that deceased, on Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, was rowing a barge, laden with loam, the property of Mr. Braggs, Wapping, from Limehouse-reach to Wapping, and that the same morning the barge was found without the deceased, at a short distance from Mr. Bragg's, the oars being placed loose on the barge. Deceased was soon after found by Sergeant Mostyn, N 4, Thames-police, in the mud off the Thames Tunnel pier. There being no evidence to show how the deceased got in the water, the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." PROET AND WILLIAMS.—The lad Mepham, of whose return we gave an account above, reports that he saw Frost the day before he received his pardon. He was at the Cascade station, about 60 miles from Hobart Town, in the bush, and acted as school-master, on which Williams account he wa s from br la ea b k our hi i s n le t g he by fo a re t s r ts ee . v had the m exemptisf srtune to falling on. him, three days before Mepham left. Jones wits employed as a constable to watch the working party in the bush. He told Mepham on the eve of his depar ture that he would give ten thousand pounds if ho had it to change places with him.—Maidatone Journal. RURAL POLICE.—The grand jur y at Retford Quar ter Sessions, just held, complai ne d o f th e serious expense to the ratepayers of the rural police, aa4 the paltry protocutitas they brought for trial. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pub Ur Optuton. " Who runs may read." I'OR.EIDN. On Sunday afternoon the King, accompanied by General - de Rumigny and an orderly officer, went to Versailles, but returned to the Tuileries to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the Duke Decazes, Count Mortier, Viscount de Mortemart, the Baron de Perignon, the Baron and Baroness de St. 'Didier, and MM. Abraham Dubois, de Came, and Esperonnier. The King and Queen of the Belgians were ex pected in Paris for the Carnival. The Minister of Public Works, it is reported, is about to bring before the Chamber, as a sort of pilot balloon, a bill for the Northern Railroad, and another on the Vierzon line. It is to be an adjudication on certain conditions, several companies having applied for those two lines. Should the Chamber not agree to his proposition, the Minister intends proposing that those lines should be executed by the State. On the 20th inst., a fire took place at a manufac tory at Pont Remy (Somme). The loss of property was inconsiderable, but nine of the workmen were killed by suffocation in one of the staircases whilst vainly endeavouring to escape. The son of Mr. Watt, the great engineer, has just presented to the Academie des Sciences at Paris a marble bust of his father, by Chantrey. The last number of the Bulletin de Lois contains an ordonnance directing the annullation of not less than 219 patents through default of payment of the second portion of the fees. In consequence, they all become public property, and the specifications are to be placed at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers, with all the models and plans, for consultation and publicity. The buildings used by the Marquis de Jouffroy in the Rue de l'Ouste, at Paris, as workshops for the experiments of his system of railroads, were burnt down on Sunday night. It is suspected that the fire was the act of incendiaries. The Augsburg Gazette, of the 19th states from Goritz that the physicians of the Duke d'Angoul 'eine have declared their patient to be suffering from a disease in the intestines with cancer, but that if he should live until the spring he may hope for a per manent recovery from sea-bathing. We learn from the Berlin journals of the 18th that the Queen of Prussia is suffering from illness. The following bulletin was published on the 17th :—" The Queen has passed an agitated night. Her cough was frequent, but the progress of the malady is regular, and inspires no anxiety." LAW AND POLICE. _ _ In the Court of Bankruptcy another examination of J. Bedford, who had carried on business as an iron monger in the Westminster-road took place. It appeared from his balance-sheet, that during the time of hie trading (a period of only about 36 weeks) he had in curred debts to the amount of 2,3691., and that the property given up to the assignee valued at 1,2621. His expences were put down at 1,2151., while the profits of his business amounted to only 3161. 2s. 4d., and 2941. from his wife's jointure. Commissioner Evans, after examining two witnesses said, I shall adjourn this case sine die, and when the bankrupt can furnish reasonable accounts he may come up again. James Gomm and Harris Gomm, his son, appeared again before the Insolvent Court. They were builders, and it was stated that they had given a mortgage to one particular creditor, a relation, when they owed their present debts, and when failure was inevitable. The question was, whether the insolvents had been actuated by fraud in the disposition of their property, which property had been created by the debts they owed. The Court deferred judgment. At Marylebone, Henry North, the boy who was brought up on Tuesday upon the charge of having stabbed another boy, named Robins, in the breast with a pen-knife, was fully committed for trial. At Clerkenwell Joseph Tuohy, a middle-aged re spectable-looking man, was charged by his employer, Mr. Henry Bedford, solicitor, of No. 20, Calthorpe street, Gray's Inn-road, and of Gray's Inn-square, with having embezzled two cheques for 831. and 91. 9s. 2d., respectively. Mr. Combe told the pri soner he stood fully committed for trial on the charge of embezzling the cheque for 91. 9s. 2d., but that he should remand him on the charge founded on the 831. cheque, for the attendance of Mr. Torriano, the b ar rister.

The Lord Chancellor and Earl of Ripon were prevented by in- ' disposition from dinin g with his Lordship. The marquis of Normanby is expected at the Clarendon Hotel, on Saturday, from Lord Barring ton's seat, Becket House, near Shrivenham, Berks. The Lord Chancellor is suffering under a slight attack of lumbago, but it is expected he will be able to resume his official duties in a day or two. Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence and Hon. Miss Fitzclarence have gone to Italy from the south of France. Previous to departing from Naples and Rome the Noble Lord and Lady stayed several days with Lord Brougham, at Cannes. MISCELLANEOUS. On Tuesday evening the Stroud Anti-Corn-law Association held a crowded and enthusiastic meeting in the large subscription room of the borough. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and resolu tions were unanimously agreed to expressing con fidence in the League, and a determination to carry out its objects. The total sum subscribed was 558/. The amount subscribed last year was only 274/., so that this year the contribution is more than doubled, besides considerable subscriptions which are yet ex pected. A spirited address to the merchants, manufactu rers, and other inhabitants of Birmingham and its neighbourhood has just been issued, informing them that a great meeting will speedily be held at Bir mingham to promote the objects of the League, and calling on them to attend the meeting, and aid in the bolition of monopoly. 'The demonstration at Bir mingham is expected to be most influential, far more than, and counterbalancing, the Anti-League move ment in Warwickshire, which has begun there as well as in other counties. Messrs. Cobden and Moore were presented with the freedom of the burgh of Cupar, Fife, on Thursday last, and afterwards addressed a numerous assembly of the inhabitants, at a public meeting, on the subject of free-trade in corn. On this occasion Provost Nicol occupied the chair, on the motion of James Aytoun, Esq., of Capeldras, seconded by D. M. M. Crichton, Esq., of Rankeillour. By the Derby Mercury of Wednesday, we learn that more than 700 tenant farmers of the southern division of the county of Derby have called a meeting for Friday next, to he held at the King's Head Inn, to determine upon the propriety of forming an agricultural protection society. From a Parliamentary paper of last session it ap pears, that from the year 1820 to 1842 there was re gistered no fewer than 9,557 private banks, and 985 joint-stock hanks. From 1841 to 1842 the number of the former was 311, and of the latter 118. The Yorkshire district bank had in January, 1842, 1,000 partners, the largest number in any bank but one existing at the period mentioned. The Man chester and Liverpool had, at the same perion, 1,113. GRAND FETE AT DENNE I ARK.—A magnificent bal costume was given by Mr. C. G. Eversfield, on Wednes day, at his above seat near Horsham, at which at least 300 of the leading nobility and gentry connected with the county . of Sussex were present. The arrangements for the entertain ment occupied several days, and the mansion not possessing a saloon sufficiently commodious to accommodate the visitors in vited to the fancy ball at night, a very sp lendi d temporary erec tion in the form of a marquee, but having all the splendour of a gallery in its decorations and equipments, was provided ; so as to form, apparently a part of the house, being connected by a corridor, tastefully embellished with flowers, and brilliantly illuminated. It was furnished by the well-known establishment of Benjamin Edgingtou of Duke-Oreet, Southwark, MONE ir AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. Consols closed well this afternoon at 97i to lA. The other English Securities did not vary. There was a decline in Spanish Bonds owing to one or two Bear operations, the Five per Cents. being 231 1 to 22k, and the Three per Cents. 31% to lA. Mexican remained at 34 1 4 to I. Portuguese Converted for Money were done at 461 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. again reached 55i. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham and Derby were 40i, Ditto and Glou cester New 4, Brighton 6 to 6%, and Greenwich 7i discount. Gravesend and Chatham Liverpool and Manchester Quarter 29, Birmingham 146, Ditto New Quarter 28 1 , 4 , South Western 35k, Ditto New 2a, Manchester and Leeds 384 to 38, Paris and Orleans 131, Rouen and Havre 5, Yarmouth and Norwich 4%, and York and North Midland, Scarborough Branch, 16 premium. Australasia Bank Shares were 6, Union of Australia ex dividend 2, and Union of London premium. Colonial were 14, and National Provincial of England dis. (From The Sun of Last Night.) _ _ . . . The sales - of cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday were only 4,000 bales at previous rates, and the market was quiet. In shares a fair business was done, and at firm rates. Eastern Counties were 10 i i ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 59k; Manchester and Leeds, Half, 484- ; South Eastern, New, 36i ; and Paris and Lyons, 2 11:211 The important sales of indigo have terminated much the same as they commenced, a decline having been established of 9d. to is. on Bengal, Kurpah, and Oude, and 4d. to 6d. on Madras good and mid. As expected at this period of the year, the attendance was not numerous either from the manufacturing districts or the Continent. The supply, owing to the unusually large crop of last sea son will be very liberal, and is sufficient to account for the reduction that has taken place, and it is so far satisfactory to find that a very large proportion has been disposed of. We wish, however, that we could state that the demand was more on the part of our own manufacturers than of the export mer chants, but such was not the case. If the decline in indigo be gradual, and speculation has not been too freely in dulged in, we may hope that no one will sustain a mate rial loss by the article. The Budget of Holland, as agreed upon by the States- General, fixes the total expenditure at 70,264,971 florins for 1844, and 69,901,145 florins for 1845. This still leaves a deficit as compared with the income of about five millions of florins, but which, it was expected, there would be some means found to provide against by reduc tions in various departments, the Royal Family being disposed to co-operate. For the interest on the debt the amount annually required is 35,125,828 florins. There are no arrivals to-day. The Stock Market is firm again to-day, and the busi ness doing is moderate. Consols for immediate transfer are 971 to I, and for Time 94. Stock, therefore, is scarce, and there is a baccadation. The purchase by the Government broker has been to the amount of 10,0001. at 971 for Consols. Exchequer Bills are steady at 665. to 68s. prem. ; the New Three-and-a- Half per Cents. realise 102 to 1014 ; and the Three per Cents. 98 to 97k. Bank Stock is worth 1931 to 1921 ; and India Stock 276 to 2761; a few sales to realise profits having led to a slight decline. The Foreign Securities have been buoyant again. Spanish Actives realise 23 to 234 ; and the Three per Cents. 31i to ; Portuguese Converted are rather lower, 47 to 46.1. Mexican have obtained 341 to 34 ; and Peruvian 231. Colombian are 12*. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. keep steady at 55. There is less doing in Railway Shares, but prices keep up, as the list annexed of the actual bargains of to-day will show. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JAN. 24.—There has again been a brisk market, and generally higher prices have been realised.

The programme for the August Meeting has just made its appearance, headed by the law against defaulters, that has done so much service at Goodwood, Doncaster, Liverpool, &c., and by regulations similar to those established by Lord George Behtinck at Warwick, Liverpool, &c., &c. The course, which was previously in the form of a horse- shoe, is now circu lar, measuring one mile three-quarters and fifty yards round, the different courses, the exact length specified in the condi tions, being portions of the circle. A sloped inclosure, eon ' taining an area of 1,600 yards, has been constructed before the Grand Stand, and many other improvements made for the comfort and convenience of visitors. The races commence on Wednesday, the 21st of August, under the Stewardship of the Marquis of Normanby, R. M. Jaques, Esq., and F. A. Mil bank, Esq. ; Mr. J.

A commission, in the nature of a writ de lunatico inguirendo, having been directed to the Sheriff of Bristol, to inquire into the state of mind of Edward Thomas, Esq., a gentleman possessing considerable landed property in the West Indies and in this king dom, and who had been much mixed up in the ques tion of Slave Emancipation, was opened yesterday, at Long's Royal Hotel, Clifton, Wore the Commis sioner, Mr. Barlow, Queen's Counsel, and the in quiry occupied the whole day. The petitioner was Mrs. Thomas, wife of the alleged lunatic, on whose behalf Mr. Stone, of the Western Circuit, and Mr. Taddy, appeared. The property in question being very considerable, much interest appeared to be excited. Mr. Stone directed the attention of the jury to the singular description of lunacy which he should have to establish against Mr. Thomas, who was 54 years of age, and had a wife and six sons. It was well known that there were three great faculties of the mind which were liable to be attacked with lunacy —the memory, the judgment, and, the imagination. In this case it was the first of these faculties which had become so much impaired as to render Mr. Thomas totally unfit to manage his affairs. While on his voyage home to England he was accompanied by one of his connexions, and by various persons with whom he was well acquainted, and within a day or two of his landing in England he had completely forgotten the name of the ship in which he had sailed when he came home, where he was, or any of the friends by whom he was accompanied. On Friday last the solicitor to the petitioner had waited upon him, and read over and explained to him the day fixed for this inquiry, repeatedly named it to him, and yet within half an hour he had forgotten all about it, and addressed a letter to the solicitor, saying that he should be obliged if he could in form him the day when the inquiry would take place. The disease of the memory had also begun to affect the imagination ; he fancied himself at times in America, and at other times in the West Indies, and pretended to point out the houses, trees, and other objects which were familiar to him. At times, too, he was under the apprehension that persons were lurking about the house in order to carry him off and bury him alive. He had also a tin box in which he picked up all the old scraps of newspapers and other things about the house, and fancied that the box was of immense value, constantly kept it under his bed, and when he went out took it with him in his carriage. On general matters and abstract questions the unfortunate gentleman was a man of very superior conversational powers, so that they would have to rely on the medical testimony. The Learned Gentleman then called Mr. John Sealey, Solicitor-General of the Island of Barbadoes, who stated that he was well acquainted with Mr. Edward Thomas, and had married his niece. He left Barbadoes with him on the Bth of July last in the ship Britannia. Mr. Thomas was then in a weakly state of health, and of most decid edly impaired memory. Remembered on one occa sion his coming on deck and saying he had just been and had a pleasant excursion on shore, and on being informed that he had been at sea several days, he ap peared much surprised. Since his arrival witness had conversed with him, and he had completely for gotten his having come over with him in the ship, even when reminded of it. Witness considered him decidedly incapable of managing his affairs. Mr. Benjamin T. Bovell gave similar testimony. At this part of the proceedings the unfortunate gen tleman was brought into the room, and to a casual observer would not appear to be labouring under any aberration of intellept. When, however, he came to be tested by the examination of the Learned Commis sioner and the jurors, he fully bore out the testimony Adduced as to the impaired state of his memory. Isabella White, a servant of Mr. Thomas, was next examined. She stated that Mr. Thomas kept asking her what her name was almost every minute in the day. He would also ask her to tell him where he was, and not to deceive him, as he was almost sure he was in Barbadoes. One day he thought Mrs. Thomas was going to place a keeper over him, and he armed himself with a carving-knife and two razors, which he carried about with him the whole day. He would sometimes sit down and cry for hours, saying the learning he had had was of no use to him now. Mr. Mortimer, Dr. Young, and Dr. Pritchard, one of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, were then examined, and gave it as their opinion, that his memory was so impaired that he was not at all capa ble of managing his affairs. , The Learn - edCommisstoxEa briefly summed up, and The Jury returned a verdict, " That Mr. Edward Thomas had been of unsound mind and incapable of managing his affairs since the 12th of August last." DEATH raw/ VOLUNTARY STARVATlON.—Consi derable sensation has pervaded the neighbourhood of Camden-town, in consequence of a rumour obtaining circulation that Dr, George Swiney, well known from his eccentric habits, had expired on that day from the effects of voluntary starvation. The unfortunate gen tleman possessed a large fortune, but lived in the greatest seclusion, not going out of doors more than five or six times during an entire year. The only person about him was his housekeeper. He had never shaved for the last two years, and his beard extended nearly to his waist. He was always most abstemious in his diet, but during the last few months, notwithstanding the en treaties of his housekeeper, he would scarcely partake of any food, and for the last month he peremptorily refused to allow the slightest nourishment to pass his lips ex cepting now and then small quantities of cider andwat,er. In consequence of this refusal he gradually sank. On Sunday morning last, becoming nearly insensible, his housekeeper called in Mr. Knaggs, surgeon, who found him in a state of stupor, and having rallied him a little, prescribed for him, but he refused to take the medicine, and expired shortly after. Some few weeks prior to his death Dr. Swiney sent his housekeeper' to a chemist's in the neighbourhood for some prussic acid, but the che mist refused to let him have it. Before death the de ceased gentleman made a will, which proves the eccen tricity of his character. He desires that he shall be in terred in St. Martin's burial-ground, Pratt-street, Cam den-town, and that his funeral should be on foot ; his coffin to be covered with bright yellow cloth, and the pall and cloaks of the mourners to be of the same ma terial and colour. Three female children, to be clad in white, chosen by his chief executor, are to precede his coffin, for which service he has left to each of them a legacy of 201., and also 201. to be expended in providing their funeral dresses. He has bequeathed 5,000/ to the trustees of the British Museum, for the establishment of a lectureship on geology, and 5,0001. to the Royal Society of Arts, out of which sum the first freeholder, whether in England, Ireland, or Scotland, that should reclaim and bring into cultivation the largest amount of waste lands, was to receive 100 guineas, to be presented in a goblet of equal value ; this gift to be renewed every five years. Five gentlemen of high attainments in lite rature, art, and science, have been appointed by Dr. Swiney as his executors. They have already had his will carried into effect, by placing his body in a coffin covered with bright yellow cloth, and studded with gilt nails, and there is but little doubt the whole of his ex traordinary requests will be rigidly adhered to. DEATH FROM EXTENSIVE Loss or BLOOD.—We& nesday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Pitt's Head, Paddington, St. Marylebone, on the body of Mr. Thomas Lomas, aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the house. It appeared from the evidence of two females, in the service of deceased, that on Monday last he served in the bar up till nearly five o'clOck, when he was- seized with a violent vomiting of blood, and retired to bed. Being averse to medical advice, no surgeon was sent for until he had a second access of vomiting, when, con trary to his wish, Mr. Cholm tndeley, a surgeon of Not tingham-place, was called In by deceased's wife. Mr. Cholmondeley said, that he visited deceased at eight o'clock on Monday evening, and found three chamber utensils each half full of blood, expectorated by deceased. Another vessel contained a large quantity of coagulated blood that had been passed through the rectum. Deceased complained of pain and depression of the chest, and witness was of opinion that the stomach was loaded with blood. He prescribed for the deceased and the emission of blood ceased, and on going away he left orders that if it returned he should be instantly sent for. Accord ingly he was sent for between three and four o'clock next morning, and found that deceased had emitted as large a quantity of blood as before. He again pre scribed for him, and, though pulsation had nearly ceased, deceased had his mental faculties so little im paired that he was able to direct his wife how he should best dispose of the business after his death, and to point out the precise spot in Kensal-green cemetery in which he wished to be buried. Deceased had two nearly simi lar attacks in 1842 and 1843, and was cured by the ad ministration of diluted sulphuric acid, alum, digitates, and infusion of roses. Deceased attributed these sin gular attacks to previous intemperate habits. Ver dict—Died of exhaustion, produced by extensive vomit ing of blood. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—.A young man, representing himself as a commercial traveller, with dark hair, dark eyes, black whiskers, about five feet eight inches in height, and smart walk, called at the house of Mr. Daniels, a respectable licensed victualler, and landlord of the Crown and Masons' Arms public house, near her Majesty's Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and requested to know if he could have a bed-room and board for a week. From his respectable appearance and repre sentations, and the superior manners he possessed, an affirmative reply was given, and he was asked into their private parlour, where he partook of all the good com forts of this life for near a week, when he, as usual, went out for his morning's walk after breakfast yesterday morning, stating that he should go up' to the Royal Ar tillery Barracks, and see the band perform their military duties, and should return to partake of dinner. The gentleman, however, forgot to do so, and has not since been heard of, but has left the reckoning unpaid, and no doubt made a hasty retreat from the town. A wealthy wine-grower at Verzy, in the Aube, named Beuzard, having a glandered horse, was a few days ago giving him a drench, recommended by the veterinary doctor, which the gag, by which the animal's mouth had been kept open, slipped out, and M. Beuzard received a wound in his cheek from one of the teeth of the horse's upper jaw. On the next day his face became dreadfully inflamed, and every symptom of the.glanders appeared, and increased in violence until his death, which rapidly ensued. . • BERLIN, JAN. 20.—Her Majesty the Queen has had some hours quiet sleep during the night, and is to day free from feYer. 64 246 GREAT AN TI-C OR N-L A W LEAGV MEETING AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE• The Anti-Corn-law Leagu es a held its usual mouthli meeting last evening at the Theatre Royal, Covent: garden.
