THE ENGLISH SPY SYSTEM. The people of this country have been accustomed, for many years, to boast loudly of the open and straight forward character of all authoritative proceedings, and to look down with contempt on the continental nations. for their tame submission to the abominable system of e.pionage in which their governments so generally in dulge. It would appear, however, that we have less reason to plume ourselves on our superiority in this re spect than we had fondly imagined. The recent trials in Ireland show that substantial justice may be made to yield to the necessities of a State prosecution ; and the public have just been made aware, through the medium of proceedings in the House cf Commons, that the race of official spies is not yet extirct in England. There is nothing more abhorrent to the minds of oitr countrymen than any invasion of the sacredness of private correspondence. The law punishes the opening of a letter as a gross misdemeanour, and the person who should be discovered taking advantage of the opportunity to read any private paper, inadvert ently left within his reach, would feel himself degraded, and would justly be regarded as a dishonourable, if not a dishonest, man. The general prevalence of this feeling, and the stringency of the regulations that have been adopted in regard to the transmission of letters, have naturally led to an unbounded confidence in the honour and integrity of our Post-office department. No one has doubted that his communications, from the moment they were put into the Post-office slip till they were de livered at their destination, were as safe from the prying eyes of curiosity, as if they had been inclosed in a case which no one could open but the party to whom it was addressed. Such, however, is not the case. The whole na tion has been startled from its propriety by being told, what was formerly known only to a few, that Go vernment has the power of granting warrants for the opening of any letters passing through the Post-office, and that this power has recently been ] exercised to a considerable extent by that most -honourable itrid con sistent of all Home Secretaries, Sir J. Graham. There is, it seems, a separate department at the General Post office for examining correspondence, furnished with all the necessary means and appliances for opening letters and closine. them again in such a way that the gross breach of trust can, with difficulty, be discovered. Think of the confidential officers of the British Govern ment gravely employed in steaming wafers, procuring duplicates of stamps, and taking impressions of seals, in order to conceal a disvaceful attempt to get at the substance of letters passing through their hands ! We are yet ignorant of all. the purposes that Sir J. Gruham . has had in view in invading the fancied sacred ness of private; correspondence e! ; for,' when questioned, on the-point, he answers nothing, but falls back with, silly iteration on his responsibility. as a Minister. • The . cases that have been exposed, however, show that to the meanness of making himself a spy, he has added the degradation of tracing out secrets for the use of foreign despots, at the expense of national honour and national hospitality. What a precious employment for a British Secretary of State ! The last debate on this subject in the House of Com mons was one of the moat damaging for Ministers that has occurred during the session ; and even the division must have taught Sir James Graham that his conduct is indefensible. The Times. sarcastically wishes him joy of his majority of only 44. On the who!e, we are pleased with the tone taken by the Whigs in the course of the debate ; but we should have liked that they had insisted a little more strenuously on the necessity of putting an end, at once and for ever; to the obnoxious powers by virtue of which Sir James Graham has acted. The plea of State necessity we hold to be utterly untenable ; for all the disadvantage of allowing the Post-office to be made the means of convey ing treasonable suggestions must be more than counter. balanced by the feeling of security which the suppression of so disgraceful a system of inquisition would inspire. Moreover, of what avail are their powers likely to be now? So long as their existence was unknown, a Home Secretary might be able, justly or unjustly, to put him self in the possession of the secrets of political opponents or traitors ; but now, who is there that has any design against the Government that would trust his communi e,ttion to the Post-office ? The exposure of the spy system has fairly defeated its object, and the sooner it is abandoned with a good grace the better.—Aiierdeen Heiald. TFIE OLD BAILEY BAR. (Froin the Stineley Time's.) In the course of the allusions which we made a short time since to the case of the wills forgeries we, stated that our object was not . so_ much to trace that case • through its circumstances, which was the province of the jury, as to make it the foundation of a general call upon the public t , consider, and, if possible, to correct, through these representations, the evils . which have grown out of the license indulged in by counsel in the defence 'of guilty men. It would scarcely be possible to select a rbetter case to illustrate these evils than that of Barber, alefunded as it was in the full tone of the Old Bailey ve i r- . 'nacular, by Mr. Wilkins. ~ llis, client was the most n jured wan in the world ; nothing could surpass his wrongs .41reeptbis virtues. ''l'he ptirity required by Cmsar in his write, was a Moderate qualification compared with the Turity ascribed by Mr. Wilkins to his client. Cesar ; :indeed, was guilty of a moral cowardice when he could :think ,of repudiating his Wife merely because she was slandered ; but Mr, Wilkins betrayed no such posit ilanimity. On the - contrary, he seemed to consider it to feather ih his client's cap to be tried for fraud by the justice of his country. It was an honour to be employed 'by him—quite a moral distinction to touch a fee from such a band. Neither the verdict of a jury nor the sen tence of the judge could disturb the imprcit confidence Kif the advocate in the rectitude of his client's conduct. .Juries were fallible, judges were fallible—in short, every thing on earth - WaS felt 151 e but -. Mrs Wilkins's pene tration and Mr. Barbsr's - futile. As for .prosecutors Wind • witnesses; they were not only fallible, but congregated and combined, like evil spirits, in a league for the overthrow of innocence. But, to speak seriously upon a matter which is, after alj, of very se aious ipiportance, it is, as we have' said, in vain to look to the judges for the protection of prosecutors or wit messes ; they seldom or never interfere. They did not interfere with the case of which we have been speak ing, when Mr. Wilkins thought it not beneath him to attack the character of such a man as Mr. l'reshfield, the Bank solicitor, in the hope that some ignorant person on the jury might be persuaded to consider his conduct oppressive and unjust. It is not for Mr. Freshfield's sake that we regret the indiffer ence manifested by the judge on this occasion. His character stood too high to be affected by anything that • :Mr. Wilkins could say or-do ; but if judges will not sympathise with such men as •Mr. Freshfield, how can they be expected to sympathise in more doubtful cases 'with men who are not so well known, and consequently mot so well protected from Misrepresontstion ? It is, - therefore, a delu,ion not to supsose that prosecutor —or witnesses, and especially the latter—find pro tection from the judge, and, therefore, it is the more necessary that something should be done, mow that the evil is on the increase, to protect the public by other means. The gentlemen of the bar call such a case as that of the will forgers, in the Old Bailey slang, " a good sporting case," that is, a case in which • prosecutors and witnesses are to be run down and every . 'nhing, and, amongst the rest, that ill- fated personage nth, sacrificed to the worthy character in the dock. .According to this interpretation of the word sport, Mr. 'Wilkins is certainly a keen sportsman ; he cares no 'thing for himself, he rides, as beggars are said to ride, straight onward to a-certain destination. There is no dif *sully, however formidable, that can arrest his pro gress, or turn him from the one great object of :sacrificing everything to th e interest, of his client. So confident were the contluctors of the prosecution that - brow-beating would be resorted to i n th e case of Barber that they felt it necessary to subpoenathe L or d May : ' -and Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk at th e M ans ion-house,, and to keep them in attendance day after day, as a check upon the imaginative faculty of Mr. Wilkins.

Junes, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and Alderman Gibbs, who pre sided. The almost interminable question of wood-paving again came under discussion, in consequence of the attend ance of deputations from the inhabita4ts of Fleet-street and St. Paul's Church yard, soliciting the confirmation of a reso lution for paving these great thoroughfares with wood, which had been passed on the previous Could day. Mr. Deputy Peacock moved that the resolution be rescinded ; which having been seconded, Sir P. Laurie observed that he was opposed to wood-paving, not Only because it was unsafe, but from a conviction that it would entail a greater expense than stone on the citizens, and he, therefore, thought he was ren dering the inhabitants an essential. service by supporting the motion for res c i n di ng the resolution. The motion was, after some further o b servations, put and carr i e d , t h us deferring wood-paving for the present.

(Sittings at Nisi I'rius, at the Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN, and a London Special Jury.) CONSPIRACY.-THE QUEEN V. LORD ASHBURTON AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against Lord Ashburton, Mr. F. Baring, and Mr. Mildmay, members of the house of Baring and Co., for a conspiracy to ruin and destroy the credit and property of Mr. Kinder, by procuring an Act of the Legislature of Mexico to nullify a contract in which he was engaged. Mr. Erie and Mr. Bodkin conducted the 'case for the prosecution; and Mr. Kelly and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defendants. _ This case, which occupied the aaention of the Court during the whole - of yesterday, was resumed this morn ing, when the case for the prosecution closed. The fol lowing are the facts of the case, as we gathered them from the evidence of Mr. Kinder, and from the very vo luminous documentary evidence which was put in and read, eonsistini , of all the proceedings in a Chancery suit instituted by' Mr. Kinder against Baring and Co.: — In the year 182;5 Mr. Francis Baring, who was at that time travelling in Mexico, agreed, in conjunction with the representative of the house of Mr. Kinder, in Mexico, to take a very large tract of land, extending from ocean to ocean in that country. Information was sent to the members of the house of Baring in London, and to Mr. Kinder, by their respective agents, and it-appeared that both parties were dissatisfied at the purchase. At that time the house of Baring held dishonoured bills of. Kinder's to a large amount, and granted him indulgence, to which Mr. Erie contended he was well entitled, inas much as his resources had been stopped by Mr. Francis Baring in Mexico. Mr. Kinder, it appeared, had sug gested to Lord Ashburton the propriety of transferring the purchase to a joint-stock company, but the firm of Baring, which had kept itself aloof from all joint-stock companies, refused to accede to such :a proposition. Baring and Company sent out to their agents in Mexico, warning them as to Kinder's credit, and stating that they held dishonoured bills of his to a large amount, and desiring their agents to adopt every means in their power to put an end to the contract. In accordance with these instructions,. the agents exerted themselves to procure the passing of an Act through the Mexican Legislature to nullify the contract. This Act was passed on the ground that foreigners could not hold land in Mexico, and it appeared from certain letters from the Mexican agents of Baring and Co., that one of them, a foreigner, named. Noulti, had bribed certain mem bers of the Legislature to support the Bill. These transactions took place in 182 S. In 1830 Mr. Kinder went to Mexico. He returned to England about the year 1837, and in 1838 he filed a bill in Chancery against Lord Ashburton and his partners. They put in their answer, which gave Kinder access to all the papers. In 1840, and just as Lord Ashburton was on the point of sailing , for Mexice, Mr. Kinder went before the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court, and pre ferred this indictment, on which Lord Ashburton was arrested, and gave bail at the Judge's Chambers four days before he sailed to the United States on a diplo matic mission relative to the Boundary Question. Mr. KELLY, for the defence, commented on the con duct. of Mr. Kinder, waiting sixteen years before he brought forward this indictment, and in bringing it for ward in the manner and at the time he did, just as Lord Ashburton was about to leave England as the represen tative of his Sovereign. With regard to the facts of the case, he contended that if the House of Baring , had been desirous of ruining Mr. Kinder, they might have done so most effectually by securing him on his dishonoured bills, instead of holding them even as they had done. It appeared that at first Kinder had expressed himself dissatisfied with the purchase, and there was nothing . to show that he had even expressed his satisfaction at it, so that the house of Baring might well believe that he like • themselves would require to get rid of it, their interests in the purchase being identical, and as they knew that Kinder was not possessed of funds sufficient to carry on the undertaking, it was not surprising that they should desire to get rid of the connexion with him. There was nothing illegal in supporting a Bill before the Mexican Legislature to nullify the contract ; but then it was said hat Mr. Noulti, the agent, had bribed. True, in his accounts there was a sum entered for bribes, but those bribes had been paid without any com munication with the Barings, who knew nothing of Noalti's acts until after the transaction had been con cluded, and with regard to those bribes it should be re collected, that in many foreign countries it was im possible to get any great public business, even of a judi cial" character, transacted without giving what were called gratifications to every officer, from the judge down to the crier. Now, all that had been done had been to ullow these sums in Noulti's account, and no doubt, if they had not been so allowed, Mr. Kinder would have called the attention of the Court to it, as a most unfair and most unjust transaction. Then, with regard to the communication to the agents on the subject.of Kinder's solvency, that was certainly a confidential com munication. No action of slander would lie on such a communication. If .it had been brought, Messrs. Barings might have justified, and have put in the dis honoured bills in evidence, and, therefore, this could not be given as evidence of a criminal conspiracy to ruin the prosecutor. Lord DENMAN summed up. He said that this indict ment charged the defendants, in .seven counts, with a conspiracy to bribe the legislature of Mexico to pre vent the prosecutor from holding lands there ; in five other counts with a conspiracy to turn him out of pos session of lands which rightfully belonged to him ; and in two others to injure his credit. The case to be pre sented to the jurors would mainly depend on the letters hich had been put in evidence, and on the meaning which they should put on those letters. This was a charge of conspiring to injure the prosecutor ; and cer tainly at the very outset of the case they must be struck with the strong observations which had been made on the conduct of men who, though now charged with such a conspiracy, hail for so many years allowed the prosecutor to owe them so many thousand pounds, and had forborne to put id force against him the legal rights which they possessed,' and which they could not have enforced without instantly, and by law, effecting the very purpose which they were now charged with endea vouring to effect by conspiracy. It certainly did seem strange that such a course should have been pursued towards the prosecutor, bad the desire to injure him existed in the way supposed. At the same time, it could nut but be regretted that there had not been from the first a more free and unreserved communication between these parties. The defendant, Mr. A. Baring, would certainly have avoided all that suspicion which bad since arisen if he had. freely communicated with the prosecutor with resp,ce to this purchase. Both Mr. A. Btringpild Mr. Kinder objected to the purchase when it w,ae - fiest made ; both at that moment desired to cancel it, and both might well have acted together in the pursuit of that 'obj'ettYand it really was impossible to midis.- stand why it' had' been deemed desirable to keel the prosecutor in ignorance of what was going on in the mind of Mr. Baring, and what were his resolves on the subject. Yet the letters showed a, feeling of that sort, and the desire expressed to the agent in one of them not to be restrained by over scrupulousness was cer tainly liable 'to an equivocal interpretation. Still that was not sufficient to justify a conviction. To justify that, the jurors must be satisfied that the defendants acted in a common scheme to get rid of the contract egeinst the wig - a thetpitss'ecutor, either with the desire to Injure or'svith'the ) reaution so t 6 act.;? tbeegh by se acting they knew that . they must inevitably bring jpjirrY suppose that 'they should think that the eidenCe!daile out a case against Mr.'Alerander _taring, and'SloWleci that 'what 'he had done was to be 'attributed' :to -- -the'tnotives imputed in: The indictment, still they could not find a verdict against all the defend . ants on this charge of conspiracy, without thinking them all to have been actuated by the same motive, and to have concurred in one scheme to injure the prosecutor. liany strong observations had been made on the nature at' this prosecution, and it was represented that the jurors must not form their opinions of the offence of bribery abroad upon the abhorrence in which it was said to be held in this country. But, happily for the jury, the question of the enormity of the offence . of bribery was nets 'one which was to occupy at tention to-day. - The question now was, whether the defendants had con Spired to adopt the means alleged, and fraudulently to deprive the prose- , cutor of his property in Mexico, and to injure him in that country and in this. The transactions to which this prosecution related extended over many years, but it seemed that most of these depended on the terms of the letters which had been put in evidence. These letters had been obtained from the defendant's house by means of a bill in Chancery, and the fact that there were so many letters spreading over a great extent of time, rens dered it very . difficult for the defendants to give a full explanation of everything. As to the charge itself, the jurors must be informed that it was not necessary to chow in positive terms the existence of a malicious feel ing towards the prosecutor; it would be sufficient to support the indictment, if it was shown that the defen dants had taken their course wholly without regard to the question, whether what they did might not be inju rious to the prosecutor for ary such feeling or disregard to the interests of others, and still more the resolution to do that which was most likely to produce injury to an other, was that to which the law would give the came of malice. This brought them to the letters, and the question for the jury would he whether these letters showed the existence of malice in that qualified form, and whether' there was evidence of these defendants conspiring together for the purpose of injuring the 'prosecutor, or of doing that which they must have known would inevitably produce injury to hint. If the jurors should be of that opinion, they must find the defendants guilty ; if of a different opinion, they must acquit the defendants. His Lord ship here went at . great length thrcugh all the letters, and then referred to the bill and answer in Chancery, remarking that in his mind the answer was not, as it ought to have been, a clear, distinct, and direct answer to the allegations in the bill. The question he must put to the jurors was this, whether, before the Act of the Legislature of Mexico was passed, and with the view of procuring it to be passed, the defendants had directed their agent to employ bribes. If their agent had, iu employing these bribes, acted on his own suggestions, the mere adoption of his acts afterwards would not ren der the defendants liable upon this indictment. But suppose one of theth to be guilty of that part of the charge (and the other parts of the charge ought, in his opinion, to bedismissed by the jury as wholly unsup ported by evidence), then the question arose, hew far these defendants were all guilty of a conspiracy, even as to the charge of trying, by any means and at any cost to themselves or others, to get rid of this contract. To make them guilty, a common purpose and a common mode of action, with regard to it must be proved-Lcom munication must be shown to have existed between these parties. Nov, what was the proof of concert or c ombination ? The letters appeared to have been written by Lord Ashburton himself, and the only proof against the other two defendants was, that each of them had copied some of these letters. That was she =wait of the proof of combination ! ',Ebe jurors would consider these facts, and say whether they were satisfied that there was a conspiracy to do this injury to the prosecutor, or whether, without any regard to his interests, the defendants had determined to pursue a course of their own, and to get rid of the contract in a way that must be, or that might be, injurious to him. If the jurors believed this to be the case, then, though no personal malice was proved, the verdict must be guilty. If the jurors were not satisfied of this, they must acquit the defendants. The jury retired at half•past six o'clock, and in an hour and twenty minutes, returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. THE ORIENTAL AND PENINSULAR STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY V•HERAPATII. The jurors summoned in this case were sworn, and Bovit. stated that this was; an action brought by the Directors of. the Oriental Navigation Company, to recover damages for a series of libels inserted in Hera path's Railway Journal. These libels had been at first justified, but the defendant being now fully aware that he had been imposed upon by the persons who had fur nished him with the information on which these libels were founded, was desirous of making amends to the plaintiffs by submitting to a verdict. Mr. BODKIN said that he appeared on behalf of the defendant, who had inserted in his paper statements which he then and afterwards believed to be true, but which, on further inquiry, he discovered to be un founded. He was, therefore, willing to express his re gret that he had been so imposed on, and had been led in that manner to publish matters injurious to the plaintiffs. A verdict for the plaintiffs, damages 405., was then taken. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Ar.nEnsoN and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) George Dixon, aged 22, a boatman, was indicted for a gross assault upon Frederick Keeler, a police constable, with in tent to do him some grievous bodily harm while in the exe cution of his duty. The prisoner was a boatman in the service of the Regent's Canal Company. He was' passing the canal with his boat when he saw a 'gentleman fishing with a rod and line. He seized the line and dragged it with him into the boat. The gentleman called the prosecutor to his assistance, and the Prisoner struggled with him, and they both rolled info the water. _ The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. He was sentenced to eight months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mary Ann Wood, a woman of the town, and John Moore, a soldier, were charged with committing a robbery, with violence, upon James Legrave. It was proved in evidence that the prosecutor was drinking with the female prisoner at a public-house in Orchard-street, Westminster, and that he accompanied her home to a court in the neighbourhood. He had six sovereigns and some silver in his trousers. Soon after they got into the room Wood got up and seized hold of them. The prosecutor attempted to regain them, but she p us hed him out of the room in his shirt. He, however, pushed the door open, and the prisoner Wood cut off the fob and took out the money. The prosecutor gave the alarm ; the soldier came up, and, while the female was striking him, the soldier said, "Give it him." She was subsequently taken into custody at a public-house, and some money found upon her. The sergeant of the prisoner's regiment gave him a good character. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up, said the case against the soldier was very slight. The Learned Judge added that the fact of people being found 'drinking at a public-house at two or three in the morning was well worthy the considera tion of the Magistrates of the neighbourhood. Intoxication was the cause of the greater part of the trouble which judges and jurors bad at each assize. If any one were curious enough to note each case, it would be found that, in almost every one, drunkenness was the cause of the crime—that is to say, either the crime was committed by persons while in a state of intoxication, or it was perpetrated upon some one in that state. The female repeatedly denied the robbery, but admitted that she was drunk. The jury found her Guilty, but acquitted the soldier. A record of another conviction was put in, from which it appeared that the woman Wood had before been imprisoned for twelve months, for a robbery and violent assault. She burst into tears, and implored mercy. Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced her to be transported for fifteen years. Immediately, after hearing the sentence, she changed her tone of supplication, and, clenching her fists, used a most opprobrious epithet to Mr. Baron , Alderson. She was re moved while uttering imprecations upon him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. James Barrow Palmer, a fish salesman of Billingsgate market, was summoned before the Lord Mayor, charged with having exposed for sale a certain quantity of fish, unfit food for the human body. The defendant was stated to be an extensive salesman. Mr. Goldham, the Clerk of the Market, stated that a man came to his office on Monday, and told him the de fendant had sold him some bad fish. He afterwards saw the defendant, who declared that the fish he had sold wore perfectly good r bat the ii , Sfeetor who examined the fish stated decidedly that they were bad. The de fendant was in the habit of disposing of baskets of fish fastened down, as were other salesmen, and had been cautioned not to sell some of the fish, but he insisted upon selling the good with the bad. Here the defendant, in a very loud and angry tone, which he kept up throughout the investigation, denied that any of the fish was bad, and said that there were quantities of bad fish at Mr. Goldham's very door, which he never caused to be touched. _ _ Mr. Goldham said it was not in his power to inter fere with any fish till they were exposed for sale, and he had shortly to produce an account which would prove that he had in the performance of his duty to seize 250,000 for being unfit for use. A. Tyrrell, of Golden-lane, costermonger, proved that he bought a pad of mackerel of the defendant for eight shillings on Monday morning, and that the first tea or twelve at the top were good, but all underneath were bad. It was then distinctly proved, by two inspectors of the market, that two baskets of fish in the defendant's boat were pointed out to him as bad, and that he after wards sold some of the bad fish, which one of the in spectors of course took away. After the defendant had made several observations to show that he never sold any fish which were in his judgment bad, he complained to the Lord Maybr that Mr. Goldham had compromised eases of bad fish in the market, instead of bringing them before the Magistrate. Mr. Goldam—Certainly, I have. At your request, v when ieh poor they creature s heugh t f rom h youaveee and a me person who with bad fish to em ploy( d you to sell, I handed back fr om you to them the money which they had paid y ou.

With regard to the fish you have sold, it has not only been proved to have been bad, but your own ad missions add, if addition were necessary, to the evidence of the inspectors and purchaser.

'' ' Alerinati FARialitoTsEli — Perhaps you would fike to try the effect of a prosecution in this case. I dare say the Lord Mayor will oblige you.—(A laugh.) Defendant at once threw down the money, saying the few shillings were no object to him.; but he begged the Lord Mayor to understand that Mr. Goldham's conduct at Billingsgate was very different from his conduct at the Mansion-house. The LORD IVAyou—l dare say it i s . H e h as diffe rent sorts of persons to deal with, an d h e, no d ou bt, acts accordingly.—(Laughter.) UNION-HALL. John Smith, Peter Knight, John Knight, William Jones, and James Perrin, Were charged on Tuesday with assaulting and wounding Everell Ranby, a private in the Fusilier Guards. A policeman of the C division stated that, on the preceding night four soldiers of the above regiment went into the King's Arms, Newington-causeway. Soon after they had sat down in the tap-room they were assailed by the defendants; and three other men also commenced ridiculing the soldiers, and doing everything to provoke a disturbance. Th e soldiers were not disposed to enter into a con fli c t w ith t h e par ties, and were about leaving the house, w h en th ey were attacked and beaten in a very shameful m anner. Th e po li c eman hearing the noise went into the house, and in his attempt to secure the principal rioters he had his staff wrested from him, and but for the speedy arrival of ass i stance , he would have been maltreated. As it was, Raub ) o ne of the soldiers, was knocked down, severely beaten,and had his head contused in such a serions manner that he was obliged to be conveyed tb the hospital, where he at present lies in a very critical si tuation. Another soldier h a d h i s mou th cut, and some of his front teeth knocked out; an d cons id e rable difficulty was ex perienced in taking th e d e f endants into custody, three of their companions having escaped. Mr. COTTLNGIIAM said the charge was of such a serious nature, he should remand the prisoners till Wednesday. QUEEN -SQ UARE. On Tuesday John Bransgrorc, c aptain of the Eclipse Rich mond steamer, appeared on a summons, charging him Ivith the following outrage : Mr. Thomas Houghton, a gentleman residing in Blizzard's place, Fulham-road, stated that on the evening of Thurs day week he was at the Thames Regatta at Putney, and re turned to town by the Eclipse. On going 'on board the steamer he inquired what would be charged for himself and friend for their conveyance to Chelsea, and was informed by defendant, the same as the other boats, 4d. each. As they neared Battersea -bridge, a youth, who was collecting the fares, demanded 6d. each ; and, on their refusing to pay that sum, the captain decla re d th a t they should not go ashore, and they as positively insisted that they would, reminding him at the time of the agreement lie had entered into with them. The boat came alongside the Violet, which was lying next the dummy a t th e Y or kshire Grey pier, Chelsea, when complainant tend ere d t h e Bd. for himself and friend, which the mate,refused t o t a k e; an d on complainant's setting his foot on board the Vi o l e t, i n or d e r to land, the defendant knocked him down, and th en p l acin g his knee upon his chest said, " Will you pay?" and on complainant's refusing, he leant more heavily upon him an d said " If you don't you —, I'll burstyou." Complainant still refused to submit to the imposition, when the captain got off him, and one of the crew treated him in a similar brutal manner. He was then released, the captain having given orders that the 4d. per head should be taken, and went ashore. After a good deal of evidence, Mr. BOND observed, that he considered this case most im portant to persons who for pleasure or bUsiness travelled, by steam-beats on the Thames, and it never could be all..nved that persons having control orTessels should extort what they considered to be their rights by such atrocious means. After a very lengthened investigation he was bound to state that he considered this complaint very clearly proved. Com plainant, who had had the spirit to resist the imposition, had been treated with the Most brutal and serious violence, and defendant must pay the highest penalty the law alkorgd him to inflict-51., in default of which he would be committed for two months.—The fine was paid. Eliza Billington, a respectably- dressed middle-aged woman, was finally examined, charged with stealing some Prayer books from the Cadogan Chapel, and committed. STATE OF TRAD E . (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) There continues to be a good healthy demand for yarns for all numbers up to 40's, but ;more particularly for the low numbers, which obtain a trifling advance in price. For goods generally there is also a steady demand ; iths printing cloths commanding a little higher prices. For 40-inch shirtings the market was heavy, and not much business done ; parties waiting the daily expected arrival of the Overland Mail. The ac count of its arrival in the London Times reached here later in the day, and the commercial intelligence there contained was considered to be rather unfavourable as respects manufactured goods. Root-mm.lF: FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY I. The demand for flannels continues brisk ; but there is no change in prices. The wo9l trade has undergone little variation since last Monday. There is a fair busi ness doing, and prices have advanced a shade. SCOTCH BANKING. (From the Perthshire Adva User.) Many of our readers will remember that; in 1826, it was proposed to abolish the small. note circulation of Scotland ; but, thanks to " Malachi Malagrowther," and others, who effectually instructed and excited the public mind on the subject, the Minister of that day was forced, in all haste, to abandon the measure. It would appear, however, that now, after the lapse of nearly eighteen years, the " Scottish system of banking" is again —not, indeed, directly, but dan gerously as insidiously—threatened with an invasion of its rights and privileges, without the slightest attempt being made to show that these have been in any manner abused, or that the proposed alteration "will be for the evident utility of the subjects within Scotland." We fear that the public are not sufficiently alive to the nature and tendency of the contemplated changes. They seem to rely too confidently upon the dura bility of the existing system ; - nor, in sooth, is this much to be wondered at ; for, have not our banks been in operation for nearly a century and a h.ilf! and what better proof can be had as to their usefulness and the soundness of their principles, than length of duration, and continuance of esteem ? During that long period, the adaptation- of the system to the requirements of the country, and to the habits of the people, must have been often examined and com pared ; and the fact of its being still prized so highly must surely be because these frequent comparisons have confirmed opinion in its favour. And along with the banks, has not the country also greatly flourished ? What says Sir Walter Scott : " It is not less unquestionable, that the consequence:of the banking system, as conducted in Scotland, has been attended with the greatest advantage to the country. The facility which it has afforded to the industrious and enterprising agriculturist or manufacturer, as well as to the trustees of the public in executing national works, has converted Scotland from a poor, miserable, and barren country, into one where, if Nature has done less, Art and Industry have done more, than in perhaps any country in Europe, England herself not excepted.' Up to the time at which Sir Walter thus wrote, there was no restriction in regard to the establishment of new banks of issue ; but now, while Sir R. Peel affects not to interfere with Scotland in his new Bill, we are neverthe less prohibited from establishing any more banks. Per haps, however, since the time when " Malachi" stirred his countrymen, banks of issue in Scotland have be en springing up like mushrooms, and the Premier was com pelled to interpose a decided stop. Let us see, then, how the fact stands : We have it in evidence given before the Select Committee on Banks of Issue—that since 1825 the number of Banks has diminished. In 1825 there; were 32 banks of issue, and in 1841 only 29 ! No doubt the number of agencies, or branch banks, has increased very much, but chiefly in agricultural and poor districts, where they are of great benefit to that description of the population. Mr. Kennedy, a landed proprietor and banker in Ayrshire, in his evi dence before the Committee, on being asked, " Are you of opinion that the increase of banking establishments in Scotland had been only commensurate with the increas ing trade and manufactures of the country?" answers, "I do not think that there are more banks at the present moment in Scotland than are necessary for the welfare of Scotland ; and at the same time, although the profits en banking in Scotland are kept very low by competi tion, still I think there is room for us all." But since 1141 we find that the number has still further de creased, and is now only 20, while there is not a single private banker left. %There, then, it may be asked, is the necessity for such a measure in regard to Scot land ? Do we not find that where new banks had started, and after feeling their way for a little, and dis covering that there was no room., for them; that they quietly merged into some more fortunate neighbour ? Are we then tamely to allow one of our most valuable privileges to be • abrogated, merely to-please the Minis ter, so that, if need were, we could not, as heretofore, establish a bank, however 4 , reat the necessity there for, either from " junctions" or other causes? No, no, Sir Robert. We have not asked your advice. Being perfectly sound, and " in the best of health," we decline being operated upon at all, and beg to return this in geniously-fortned pill, wherewith you would " dose" us. So much for the restriction of new banks. Let us hear the Premier upon another point. He says— " The existing banks shall continue to enjoy their privileges, provided they do not exceed certain defi nite limits "—that is, increase the amount of their issues—" to be calculated upon an average of the last two years." " But if they should at any time discontinue 'their issues, they shall lose that privi lege." Is not that very fair ? The bankers are only told again and again • that they are simply not to be al lowed to increase their issues ; but what is the effect and evident intention of this part of his plan, save to contract the circulation, and that to a very consider able extent ? We shall make this statement plain in a few words. The Premier knew quite well that the circulation of Scotland fluctuates 'very considerably at different periods of the year, its minimum being in March, from which it goes on increasing till June. It then falls again a little for a month or two, and afterwards increases until the end of November, when it reaches its tnaximisw. This occurs year after year, thereby showing that the circulation is governed by local causes, and cannot be regulated by the foreign exchanges. A few of these causes are—the . purchasing - of cattle in the spring months ; the payment of Wages at Whitsunday; preparing for Midsummer rests ; the employment of work-people generally during th.e summer and harvest ; and, lastly, the great country flitting term of Martinmas. Now, we submit that by taking the average of the two preceding years as the maximum for the future (instead of- allowing the issues to vary as the com merce and local necessities of the country demand), the circulation of the kingdom will be curtailed—just when it will be most required —some 20 per cent ; and in agricultural districts, such as this, a great deal more Yet, if you believe Sir Robert, " our existing privileges are to be continued!" and does he not also take credit for having said nothing on the subject of small dotes? But we would ask, why avoid the dis einisieli.7 of fliirwhole matter; since the enth' qtreatirp of cuteencry is - involved measure. There• must have been a reason for this evasion. Was it Troin a dread ofdikUisionr NVZ rather suspect it• Was. The bankifig system of Scotland is deservedly in high repute; 'principles:being sciund, and'affording•to the public it full accommodation 'on the cheapest possible terms, yielding, at the same time, a reasonable profit to• the banker. Neither is it found that a free competition and a multiplication of banks and branches, have a ten dency to increase the circulation, nor has it increased with the wealth of the nation. Let us now look at the matter in another light. The circulation of Scotland, including its small notes, amounts only to about 11. a head of the whole popula tion, whereas in_England, where there are no notes under 51., it amounts to 21. a head. Yet, as England is to be operated on, Scotland, forsooth, must be dealt with too, merely for the sake of uniformity. Having thus shown that there is no cause for interfering with our national privilege of banking, and pointed out the effects that will ensue, if this Bill, as it at present stands, be allowed to pass, we shall now shortly inquire, on whom will the loss fall ? This is an important question. It cannot be supposed that the banks will bear it ; their profits will not admit of it, for, is not the present system based upon the power that the circulation gives them to allow a high rate of deposit in terest ; and if that be taken from them, they must make it up from some other source. They would at once increase their charges—perhaps charge a commission on the debit side of the account, as in some places in England— and allow less interest, or probably none at all. On the other hand, depositors might withdraw their deposits, and, in times of difficulty, force the banks to press their customers to repay advances made to them, and thus bring on a state of things that we fortunately have only heard of, and certainly never can wish to experience. It follows, then, that the loss will fall upon the community. High and low— rich and poor—all will feel it. And though all this is not attempted to be done at once, the Premier's scheme clearly points to all banks of issue being absorbed in one Leviathan institution. Only allow the wedge to enter, and we may have it pushed home much sooner than we dream of. We should, then, promptly act upon the advice of " Malachi Malagrowther," tendered during a former sea- • son of peril to the banking system of Scotland : " Let all ranks and bodies of men in North Britain express, by petition, their sense of the injustice which is offered to the country, and the, distress which will probably be the necessary consequence. Without the power of issuing their own notes, tho Banks cannot supply the manufacturer with that credit which ena bles him to pay his workmen, and wait his return ; or accommodate the farmer with that fund which makes it easy for him to discharge his rent and give wages to his labourers, while in the act of performing expensive operations which are to treble or quadruple the produce of his farm. The trustees on the high roads and other public works, so ready to stake their personal credit for carrying on public improvements, will no longer possess the power of doing so. The whole existing state of credit is to be altered from top to bottom ; and Ministers are silent on any remedy which such a state of things would ,imperiously require. These are subjects worth struggling for, and rather of more importance than generally come before county meetings. The English Legislature seems inclined to stultify our law authorities in their department ; but let us at least try if they will listen to the united voice of a nation in matters which so intimately concern its welfare, that almost every man must have formed a judgment on the subject, from some thing like personal experience, - For my part, I cannot doubt the result."

We made a few remark s last week on the report of the Commission on the Northern Railroad and its embranch ments to the coast. We have to day the very great pleasure of stating that the whole question has been terminated by the Chambers, in a way • honourable to themselves and bene ficial to the country. '1 'he Belgian line goes direct to Lille, thence to ITazebrouck, fi - 9M whence two lines branch oft; the one to Calais through St. .9mer, the other.to Dunkirk by the west of Cassel. The route to England is from Amiens to Boulogne through Abbeville, being the shortest. As such there is no possible competitilon with Boulogne ; Calais is left alone in its glory to all the advantages to be derived from its communication with the•north of France, Belgium, and Germany. Such is the end of its intrigue and conspiracy against the interest of Boulogne. - A Company will be offered the Boulogne line, with a lease not to exceed ninety-nine years, with the sa me tariff as the Bordeaux and Tours lint ; - Gove rnmont having the option, at the end of fifteen years, of purchasing the line from the Com pany, which is not very likely to take place. Thus has terminated the struggle of justice with folly and monopoly Thus ha 3 the Mayor gloriously terminated his labours I Thus has his prudence triumphed over factious op position ! Thus,have his anxieties, unceasing toils, and un remitting exertion been rewarded I May he live long to enjoy the reward, arid see the town thrive beneath his care and wisdom ! If the inhabitants respect themselves, or know the value of the boon lie has obtained for them, they will erect an imperishable monument of their . gratitude to Mr. Alexan der Adam. We hear that the Mini icipal Council have al ready voted him a sword of honour ; and the Chamber of Commerce a gold chased cup, and an, ether to Mr. Fontaine. There is also a subscription raising for a'n ulterior offering to Mr. Adam.—Bortlogne Gazette. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, JULY 3.—Wind S.E., light breeze, and fine. DEAL, JULY 2.—Wind W.N.W., to N.
