The sermon was preached in a very impressive manner by the incumbent (Mr. Hill), for the benefit of the Finsbury Dis pensary. During the service some considerable degree of alarm and apprehension was occasioned by a person from the outside throwing a stone through a window near to the pew in which the Lord Mayor sat, which fell within a few feet of its intended mark. Several other interruptions oc curred by persons hallooing in at the doors some very un mistakeable allusions to the late proceeding ; and upon his making his appearance to depart, he was received with loud bursts of yellings and hootingg, amidst which he drove off in Wecipitate manner. lIIGII WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TIIIS DAY.

The prospects of the House of Lords for the pre • sent session are truly deplorable. Regarding there as coadjutors of the Commons, and equally bound by duty to attend to the affairs of the community, the public must look with apathy on a body which rarely originates any measure of importance, and which has absolutely nothing to do till the commencement of the dog-days. But they are to be pitied chiefly for their own sake. Idleness is one of the greatest of calamities, and it is therefore painful to see their Lordships trotting down to the House, as if they were in urgent haste to commence business, and after hearing prayers, presenting two or three petitions, and getting up occasionally some amusing con versation, return as they came. It would be in finitely better to adjourn on the first day of the ses sion till after Easter, and attend to their estates in the provinces than to waste their time in empty show and mockery of legislation. The whole business announced for the session consists of a Bill on bail in error and an amendment to the Charitable Bequests Bill. These were announced by the Lord Chancel lor. The other law Lords have announced little, whether from the effects of the epidemic so con genial to the House, or from jealousy and a well grounded fear that if one starts a good measure, the others, true to their vocation, will fight against it till it is torn to pieces, we have no evidence to show. This is a lamentable waste of time, but that is the least evil, for when the Biels of the Commons come up in shoals, one half of them are thrown aside, many of the rest are sadly mutilated, and only a few occupy their Lordships' attention, because they have not time to do them justice. Last session, for instance, fifty two Bills came up in July, while not half the num ber, and these chiefly of minor importance, came up Curing the five preceding montle3, being in the pro portion of fifty to five. This is the more inexcusable : as there is one measure adverted to in her MAJESTY'S' Speech which is peculiarly adapted to their Lordships House, adorned as it is with the Bench of Bishops. " The health of the inhabitants of large towns and populous districfts in this part of the United King dom," sail the Qurtis, " has been the subject of recent inquiry before a Commission, the report of which shall be immediately lull before you. It will ha gratifying to me if the information and suggestions contained in that report enable you to devise the means of promoting the health and comfort of the poorer classes of my subjects." Her MAJESTY on pronouncing these sentences must have had the Bishops in view, and, no doubt, thought they would be much better employed in devising means to pro mote the comfort of her poorer subjects, than in reviving antiquated and Catholic practices, disturb. ing the peace of families, throwing the Church into confusion, and endangering the best interests of the Protestant religion ; and, besides, who are so well fluted from experience, as Bishops, for relieving the distresses of the poor ? They have all been curates, and rectors, or vicars ; they, of course have mixed with the lower classes, visited them in their sickness and on their death-beds ; hwe inquired into their wants, and the causes of their sufferings ; witnessed with pain the degradation and irreligion of the mind, caused by ignorance and poverty, and consequently acquired information ten times more valuable than could be obtained by a few paid Com missioners, who take many things on hearsay, and, at best, can give only a meagre outline of the melan choly causes of their depressed condition. This is a duty befitting a Bishop, and would form a noble contrast with that of those worldly-minded pre lates who consider the only object of their mis sion to the House of Lords is to look after their temporal and pecuniary affairs. Poverty and crime and infidelity are near neighbours. But for want of the very necessaries of life, and the miser able state of ignorance in which the lowest classes are left by their spiritual teachers, three-fourths of our gaols would be empty, and our penal settlements abolished, yet Parliament goes on, year after year, in increasing the severity of punishments to which the Bishops give their assent, while, neither by their speeches as legislators, nor their deeds as the guar dians of the poor, do they show any disposition to avert crime by the only proper means—by destroying ignorance and relieving suffering. Would they adopt a different system, there are lay peers ready to assist them, and none more ready and willing than the Marquis of NORMANDY, who has humanely turned his attention to these subjects. We fear, however, that the idleness of their Lordships arises not from dire necessity, but the want of will, and that they will go on in the old monotonous system till an outbreak greater than that of the Reform Bill rouses them to a sense of their danger, and makes them again lay elaim to the title of " Tribunes of the people." The revelations of the last few days, on the subject of railroad projects, appear to us to have so intimate a bearing on the tendencies of our present monetary system, under existing circumstance 3, that we cannot forbear from once more directing attention to the dangers they indicate. It was recently admitted, in the House of Commons, that no less than 240 new applications for Bills, either for the extension ' of old and working lines, or the construction of new ones, are coming before Parliament for its sanction. We have no doubt that Sir ROBERT PEEL correctly infers that, upon being submitted for discussion, this astounding number of fresh projects of railroad in vestment " will be found very considerably to di minish." Let us suppose that that diminution may be in the ratio of, say 50 lines, there will remain 190 of the sifted, and tested and debated projects, of which, after such preliminary treatment, we may fairly assume the success. Suppose that each of these lines shall demand no more than an average capital of 150,000/. ; that average will not exceed the actual demand, if we go upon the presumption that being bona fide schemes, not less work ing capital will be called for than will be actually requisite for their accomplishment. The aggregate for the 190 lines would be little short of 30,000,0001., in addition probably to nearly as much more locked up in the several unrernunerating lines, that are either at a discount or paying but a nominal interest to their shareholders. We perceive from TRUEMAN and Coon's " Circular" overland dispatch to India, that " A large amount of English capital is embarked in French railroads, which are absorbing fully 20,000,0001." Now, this process of absorption, taking only our unproductive completed lines, and our new incipient lines, with the 20,000,0001. thus to be provided from English capital-worked railroads in France, will re pre,ent about 80,000,0001. withdrawn from the ordinary channels and services of our general trade and commerce. And this lingo amount is independent of whatever portion of the vast capitals of the greater established lines, such as the Lond on and Birming ham, Great Western, Midland Counti es , S out h Western, &c., is not in circulAion. All parties in Parliament admit, with alarm, the fearful extent to which railway scrip speculation con tinues to be carried; and the mercantile authority we have just quoted supplies this information as to the HE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENIG, FEBRUARY 17. 1845. terms on which the money is raised that these illegitimate but exciting operations demand : " The gambling speculation which is daily going on in them portends a crisis, which, bright as the aspect seems now, will be very severe when it does come. The settlements at the Stock Exchange are enormously large in amount, and money is borrowed for the purpose at rates greatly higher than those current in other quarters—even six and seven per cent. ; this can perhaps be affordedwhile prices are constantly advancing, but when the reverse comes, and come it must, the evil effects will unfortunately be felt much beyond the Stock Exchange." - - We have no doubt of it. Let it be remembered that the prices of the public funds as well as of rail way shares are at present enormously high, and thus offer an inducement to the fundholders to sell out and realise whatever good security is offered now for the advance of money. The state of the revenue upon the whole is decidedly prosperous ; and pub lic confidence is gratified by the fact of a resulting surplus,—of large amount, however questionably produced, —of its income over its expendi ture. These conditions are all favourable to the wants of those who may stand in need of temporary loans for the purposes of their dealings in the Share Market. But we implore our readers to contemplate for a moment the overwhelming ruin which will ac celerate the first momentum of that re-action which all sober thinking people regard as inevitable at no distant period. Calculate first the instantaneous de mandsfor gold which accompanies the panic of such a re-action. Consider, in the next place, the coinci dent contraction which must take place in the circu lation of the Bank of England on that run for gold manifesting itself. Sir ROBERT PEEL has thought proper, by way of remedy, for the disasters of 1825 and 1836-37, consequent on the sudden contraction of the Bank of England's paper, to make that esta blishment the centre, and almost exclusive, source of paper money issues, such paper money being conver tible into gold on demand at his Mint standard price, utterly irrespective of its value in the bul lion market, and therefore of the primary element of abundance or deficiency, which, despite your Acts of Parliament, strikes the true value of bullion and regulates it. If we imagine the day of re action arrived, the delivery or transfer of shares en forced, the prices of former sale-contracts demanded and insisted on and unsatisfied ; the shock given to mercantile credit, the wish to " realise" in all quar ters, with all kinds of bills, notes, securities, and stock ; the decline of prices which the funds and the share market will immediately exhibit, and all the other consequences certain to follow on such a state of things ; what will be the relative condition of the commercial body of the metropolis in the first instance, and that of the Bank of England in the second ? With all the prosperous aspects that now would warrant the most extensive issues which, under the Complement Bill of last year, the Bank of England has Govern ment securities and bullion to represent ; the whole of its Bank-note circulation on the Ist instant was 28,232,000/. only. Gold being at about par in the market with its Mint price, the Bank had o,i that day i❑ its coffers but 12,548,0001. in gold bullion, and 1,684,000/. in silver. What will the mercantile in terest do for discounts, when the Bank shall have— nautilus-like—struck its sails at the first indication of the coming storm; shall have contracted its paper issues to some few millions less, in order to square them to its fast-declining bullion store ; and perhaps, to relieve the pressure of its owu liabilities, set loose upon the market some portion of the 11,000,000/. of Government securities which in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S pet scheme for its issue and deposit department, make up so large and . so illusory a portion of its available convertibe assets ? How much of the gold drawn out of this country on account of the 20,000,000/. of English capital absorbed in French railways, will find its way back to lighten the pressure of a demand for gold, at a period when a large pro portion of the 80,000,000/. of British railroad invested capital will be simultaneouly called for, to an extent at least half as great as that of the Bank's whole bullion store of the Ist instant ? What will be the ex tent of the frightful paralysis and disorganisation which tie action of Sir It. PEET;gtrinciple of convertibility into gold will produce on the evolutions of commerce and the fluctuations of prices ? What will be the limit of the hideous sacrifices of property struggling to snatch, on any terms, at the arbitrary representa tive of value, existing throughout the whole length and breadth of the land in the proportion of but a mere per centage on the paper currency of all kinds whose circulation will be thus impeded, and of a mere fraction in relation to the demands of our trading community, and of the. incalculable capital of that dormant property which cannot get into the market at all from the bunglin4, and obstructive machinery of the system, as it is caned, which supplies no ade quate amount of currency for its representation ? We greatly fear that but a few months will suffice for the development of such a condition of monetary affairs, as will alarm even the self-complacency of Sir ROBERT PEEL into a sense of the responsibilities his indulgence in currency crotchets has challenged. An exceedingly valuable contribution (in the shape of a Parliamentary Paper, presented by her MA JESTY'S command to both Houses) to the fiscal and commercial statistics of this country appears to offer an excellent means for testing the merits of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S Tariff. The paper we allude to is en titled an "Expository Statement of the Consump tion of Imported Commodities within the United Kingdom, and of the operation of the Customs' Duties on such commodities, in two years preceding and in two years following the establishment of the New Tariff under Act 5 and 6 PICT., cap. 47, anno 1842." When we observe that this statement extends through eight schedules, occupying, independently of the index, 170 folio pages, entirely appropriated to the details successively comprised in the plan of such a document, it may be readily imagined that it is almost as impracticable to convey an adequate idea of the value and variety of its contents by any abstract, as it would be for us to bring the whole statement, through a reprint in our columns, under the eye of our readers. Nevertheless, we will attempt a suc cinct and intelligible analysis of the most remarkable points which may be collected from this voluminous collection of quantities and figures —in a simplified and popular form. The two principal data which this statement sup plies, it may be well to repeat, are these :-1. The Consumption of Imported Commodities into Great Britain and Ireland, in the two years before and the two years after the coming into operation of the New Tariff; 2. The operation of the Customs' Du ties on such consumption during each of such two periods respectively. 1. These eight schedules are arranged under a fivefold classification which we cannot do better than follow here, to direct the reader's attention. lle has only to refer to the initial letter of the schedule, to understand what is the class of commodities embraced by that schedule; and he will always understand that, of the two sums or amounts which follow each initial letter, the first sum represents the " mean an nual produce of duties" on the commodities compre hended under the schedule indicated in the two years preceding the establishment of the New Tariff; the second sum represents the mean annual produce of the duties on some class of commodities in the two years following the establishment of the New Tariff. Now the schedules are thus, in general terms, ar ranged ; viz. (A) articles in a raw state to be used in manufactures ; (B) articles partially manufac tured; (C) articles wholly manufactured; (D) arti cles of food ; (E) articles not properly belonging to any of the foregoing heads. (Let it be premised of class A " that it includes some articles, which, though not strictly in a raw state, have undergone only a slight degree of preparation ;" . and of class D, that " there have been thrown into it, not only those articles which contribute immediately to human subsistence ; but also some which are used chiefly, or entirely, in the fool of cattle ; and others, such as spirits, wine, and to bacco"—which properly belong to the class of condiments or stimulants.) Each of these classes, from A to E inclusive, is, moreover, subdivided in reference to the eight schedules into enumerated "articles, producing under the operation of the New Tariff, less than 1001. each of Customs' duties per annum ; from 1001. to 5001. each ; from 5001. to 1,0001. each; from 1,000/. to 10,000/. each ; from 10,000/. to 50,000/. each ; from 50,000/. to 100,000/. each ; 100,0001. and upwards each ; and articles ex empted from duty, or prohibited under the New Tbuatritff;:e nty c . i t il w e o se e in x e n m u p m t b e d e r o ; r a prohibited e articles e are afs before the Tariff produced a mean annual total of but 1961. The prohibited articles are " corn ; raw malt and ground; except wheat-meal, wheat-flour, and oatmeal ; tobacco stalks, tobacco flour ;—also, arms, ammunition, and utensils of war, by way of merchandise, except by licence from her MA JESTY, for furnishing her MAJESTY'S public stores, only ;—coin, viz., false money, or counterfeit sterling or silver of the realm, or any money purporting to be such, not being of the established standard, in weight or fineness." The articles de clared to be " free, and no entry required," are " bullion and foreign coin of gold or silver, or of which the major part in value is gold or silver, — diamonds;—live creatures illustrative of natural his tory ;—plants, shrubs and trees, alive ;'—specimens of minerals, fossils and ores unenumerated, not ex ceeding 141 b. each ;—specimens illustrative of na tural history.") The mean biennial product of duties upon 447 articles in schedule 1., was in the two years preceding the tariff, 19,037/. ; in the two years follow ing it, 8,040/. ; upon 137 articles (schedule 2), 71,9721. and 34,4611.; upon 50 articles (schedule 3), 69,0321. and 36,2581.; upon 109 articles (schedule 4), 570,7181. and 317,4921.; upon 25 articles (schedule 5), 706,9111. and 511,570/. ; upon five articles (schedule 6), 389,006/. and 395,603/. ; upon 17 arti cles (schedule 7), 20,810,5421. and 21,417,462/. ; upon 22 articles (schedule 8), 1961. and nil. Total, upon 813 articles, 22,637,4941. and 22,720,886/, showing a difference of aggregate product, in favour of the New Tariff, of 83,392/. This difference is but trifling. The most notable features of the Abstract are, the total excess upon the aggregate of schedules 1,2, 3,' 4,5, and 8, of 530,1251. in the product of the two years preceding, over that of the two years following the Tariff ; and, on the contrary, the excess in the aggregate product of duties in the latter named over the former perk d, on schedules 6 and 7, of 613,5171. in favour of the Tariff. It is observable that the greatest product of duties is on the articles of food—the respective pro duce for the two periods being 18,246,1201. and 19,614,116/. ; again, a remarkable increase, under the Tariff, of no less than 1,367,9961. On referring, for the explanation of this result, to schedule 7, under class D, we find only twelve enumerated articles, producing this vast revenue. The articles are butter (from British possessions and foreign countries), coffee (British and foreign), corn (viz., wheat, barley, oats, rye, peas, beans, indian corn, buckwheat, bear or bigg, wheatmeal or flour, and oatmeal), currants, raisins (British possessions and foreign), sugar (Bri tish possessions, East and West Indies and Mauri tius, and other countries), molasses (British and foreign), spirits (rum, &c.), brandy, Geneva, and other spirits. _ 2. The operation of these Customs' duties on con sumption, during each of the two biennial periods em braced by tie schedules, must be tested, of course, by the simple exponent of the quantities of such com modities consumed in each of those periods respec tively. But, unfortunately, a serious defect in the schedules is, that there is no notation of the total of quantities of the article in each " which have paid duty," before and after the Tariff: so that, except by going minutely through all the details of the 813 articles to which they relate, and extracting the pro portions of that aggregate on each separate article, exhibited under each of such schedules, there is no means of getting at the second part of the result which the title-page of the Blue-book professes to show ; namely, " the operation of the Customs' duties on consumption in each." Probably on the Budget of the Premier, this evening, we shall arrive at the general statement of this operation of the duties, at the two periods, on consumption. The returns com prised in this Blue-book will, doubtless, be much can vassed in the course of the debate. Madrid journals of the 9th instant have been re c( ived. On the Bth the Senate took into considera tion the Clergy Dotation Bill, which is likely to give rise to important results. The Government, under the influence of the QUEEN-MOTHER, who is under the influence of the POPE, are evidently resolved to take some daring step with regard to Church property. Before the discussion commenced, the Minister of Finance, Senor Moir, said the Government had re , commended to her Majesty to suspend the sales, with the ultimate view of restoring the un sold portion of the Church lands as soon as cir cumstances would permit. That period had now arrived, and he therefore gave notice that he would shortly bring in a Bill to that effect. This announcement, together with the sudden return of the Spaniih Envoy from Rome, has caused great uneasiness in the public mind, and especially among those who had become purchasers, for a belief pre vails that the POPE will not grant the demands of Queen CHRISTINA, unless the whole property sold, as well as unsold, is restored to the Church. The Opposition journals are strongly opposed to the scheme. " The declaration of the Finance Minister," says the Tiempo, " little surprised us, because it was evident when Ministers ordered the suspension of the sale of the clerical property, that they intended to restore it to its original owners. On that account we withdrew our support frem the Cabinet the moment we perceived the course it meant to pursue. We were not deceived respecting its inten tions. In exchange for the property of the clergy the Government will offer us a concordat. It appears to us that the concordat might have been obtained without that sacrifice. The Eco del Commercio is equally hostile, and it is said NARVAEZ on this point was opposed to the Court, but obliged to yield. The Envoy still remained at Madrid, and it was believed would not leave for Rome till he saw the result. On the Bth the Three per Cents. closed at 321, the Debt without interest a F t iv 7 e i paetr6Coednatsy.:t 231, and the Tpapers last week announce d th at a Mem ber of the Paris t h e ch a mber of Peers, th e C oun t D ARU, it appears, had given notice of a motion for a Bill to check the present rage for speculation in railway schemes. On Saturday he brought the measure under the consideration of the House, when the Minister of Public Works said that he would support the general principles of the Bill, but it was a subject of such importance that the Government had resolved to introduce a Bill of their own. This is a preferable course, as the Minister of Public Works has access to information which a private individual cannot obtain. The main principles of Count DARU'S Bill met with the approbation of the Ministerial journals, while they admit that it has some very material defects. " What is the object of the Bill ?" says the Journal des Debats. " In the first place, topr c e e v , prevent as much as possible the formation of fictitious Companies, the object of which is jobbing, and not the creation of useful roads; and, in the second to prevent abuses of confidence which may arise from persons who present but inadequate security becoming the depositaries of considerable sums, amounting, perhaps, to several millions, and thus placing strong temptations in the way of weak minds. This double object would be obtained if, on one hand, as the proposition suggests, the fund brought in by the founders amounted to one-fifth of the proposed capital, and if, en the other hand, the sums paid in by the subscribers were immedi ately transferred from the hands of the founders to the Caisse des DepOts et Consignations. These two mea sures constitute parts of the proposition. But since these two measures are sufficiently protective, of what use is the clause for preventing the opening of sub scriptions before the promulgation of the law for establishing the railroad ? The formation of a Com. pany for any great undertaking, such for instance as the North railroad, or that of Lyons, each of which will require 150,000,000 francs, is not, in ordit.ary times, a matter so easily accomplished, as not to make it prudent to commence long beforehand. This clause would frequently obstruct legitimate specula tion, and by going beyond its object preventits being attained." The Globe is equally opposed to some of the clauses—for the best reason—that, in many instances, they would prevent the formation of important lines. That journal thus points out its defects 1 prohibits opening a subscription for the execution of a railroad previ ous ly t o the prom ulgation of the bill ordering the putting up to adjudication, or the direct concession of the works of the said line. This is to suppress the most efficient cause of the determination of Government in the presentation of railway bills. The Bordeaux line would be still ou paper, if several serious companies had not determined the presentation of the bill. At pre sent, in particular, that the Government appears de cided to leave the execution of all the works to companies, there can be no doubt that the previous forma tion of com panies calls forth the presentation of the bills. There will be many lines, and particularly branches, the execution of which the Government will adjourn, if one or several companies are not ready to undertake them. It is to take away the initiative from private speculation, to stop the move ment of men's minds and capital towards railroads. And why is all this ? To prevent jobbing in promises. But you do not prevent it, when the bill deciding the execution of the line is promulgated. Is it less gambling after than before? If jobbing in promises is culpable beibre the bill is pro mulgated, why should it not be so after? Before and after, the company delivering the shares is ignorant If it shall execute the line ; and the jobbers in promises, in the two cases, play a game of chance. Art. 4 requires that the first call of each subscription shall not be below the fifth of the nominal value of the shares subscribed for. That, again, is a prescription which does not attain its object, and which is bad, because it doubles the inactive and unproductive capi tal. Undoubtedly ➢I. Daru wished to keep away small capi talists, and speculators not possessing the nominal value of the share, and who only subscribe to sell again immediately, in order to profit by the premium on the promise; but then, and to be logical, it is the payment of the whole value of the share which ought to be demanded. The payment of two-tenths, in place of one-tenth, will not stop speculators, for the difficulties of payment are scarcely felt until the fourth or fifth-tenth. The payment of a fifth, in place of a tenth, will not therefore prevent the interference of jobbers, and, as we said just now, it will double the sum of the in active capital, which will go and sleep in the strong-box of the bankers, or in the Caisse des Depots et Consignations. To sum up, M. Daru's proposition does not appear to us a happy one. It is a good intention, which would be more fatal to railroads than a bad one." The journals still continue their remarks on the state of the Ministry, and the probable consequences of the ballot on the Secret Service Money Bin, but we find nothing new in their remarks. We learn from Berlin that the opening of the General Prussian Diet took place on the 9th instant. The Cologne Gazette observes that the whole of the Deputies were present, expecting to find in the speech on the occasion some allusion to the rumoured inten tion of giving a Constitution to Prussia. No allu sion of the kind, however, was made. Accounts from Hamburgh state, that in considera tion of the active and generous conduct of the Jews of that city, and of the banker, SOLOMON HEINE, in particular, on the occasion of the great fire in 1842, the Government of the city and province has felt it to be its duty to ameliorate the laws which weighed so heavily on this class of its population. Hitherto the Jews of Hamburgh have been restricted to commerce and to the exercise of the medical profession, but the Council of Ancients has proposed the opening to them of all the professions and trades.

THE BUDGET. We have just received, through Mr. B. Wheeler, an extraordinary express edition of The Sun, containing a copious report of the proceedings of Parliament up to half-past eight o'clock last night, from which we took the account of Sir Robert Peel's financial measures. — Manchester C'oui ler. We are indebted to a second edition of The Sun news paper for the means of promply supplying, in another page, a full report of Sir Robert Peel's important finan cial statement in the House of Commons last night. — Hampshire Telegraph. We are indebted for a lengthened report, nearly nine columns, which was published in a late edition of The Sun of yesterday evening, and transmitted by extraordi nary express to Newcastle, where copies were received by Mr. Horn, of Market-street, at seven minuts past eleven o'clock this morning.—Newcastle Journal. The foregoing report is abridged from a full report in the third edition of The Sun of last eight, to the ex press of whose enterprising publisher we are indebted for it an hour and a half before our own arrived.—Bir mingham Pih t. The Bedford Me; cury published a fifth edition, con taining a summary of the Budget, on Saturday morning, from the report of the Evening Sun, received that morn ing by post. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—A 11 happily success ful—having arrived at six o'clock at W estland-row, Dublin—dispatched to near 80 news rooms and provin cial papers, whose publication would suit. The excite ment was, I think, hardly so great even during the Re form Bill, and I hope it will tell with due effect. THIS DAY'S NEWS HOUSE OF _LORDS 7: (THIS DAY The House sat to-day at eleven o'clock, for the purpose Of hearing writs of error. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell. The fol lowing Judges were also in attendance :—The Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Baron Rolfe, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Patteson, and Mr. Baron Platt. The Duke of Wellington was also in attendance during the whole morning. THOMPSON V. HER MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE-GENERAL. This case came before their Lordships upon a writ of error from the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, against the judg ment of that Court, whereby the plaintiff in error was ordered to pay legacy duty to the extent of 1,8004 on legacies be queathed by the will of a gentleman named Grant, of De merara. It appeared that the testator, Mr Grant, was born in Scotland, that he afterwards became domiciled in Deme rara, where he made his will, and died in April, 1837. At the time of his death he had a debt owing to him in Scotland arising from money which he had acquired while domiciled in Demerara, and which he had had transmitted to Scotland for safe custody. By the law in Derr arara no duty was payable on legacies, and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff in error that, as the testator died domiciled in Demerara, his personal estate was not chargeable with legacy or residue duty ; because, the liability of personal estate to legacy duty was governed by the law of the testator's domicile at the time of his death. On the part of the defendant in error, it was contended that the decision of the Court below was correct, inasmuch as by the true construction of the statutes by which legacy-duty was payable upon property of deceased persons, and, by the true construction of the will of the testator, the sum bequeathed was liable to the duties chargeable by the several Acts of Parliament on the subject. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Anderson were counsel for the plain tiff in error, and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Crompton appeared for the Crown. The arguments appear likely to occupy the whole of to-day and to-morrow. _ Mr. KELLY was addressing their Lordships on behalf of the plaintiff in error when our Evening Edition went to press. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England took demurrers and causes to-day, none of which had any points of interest to the general reader. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) The Court heard two or three causes this morning, but no general interest attached to any of them. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE GEORGE 0 BULLOCK. The insolvent, an artist of some reputation, applied for his interim' order, and was opposed by Mr. Buchanan, on the part of Mr. Nock, a West-end gunmaker. The insolvent had purchased a gun, valued at 38/., the latter end of 1842, at a time when he was rather in difficulty, and on the ground that he had not then any reasonable prospect of paying, Mr. Buchanan contended that his petition should be refused. It was also contended that his balance-sheet was irregular in many respects. The insolvent was examined at some length, and said that some years ago he had derived from his professional exertions between six and seven hundred pounds a-year, but the de pression in the fine arts had considerably injured his income. He had painted for many noblemen and gentlemen, and Earl De Grey bad got no less than ten from him, one of which was in the Castle of Dublin. He had fully expected to pay this sum, especially as Mr. Nock had written to say that he should not be pressed for the amount. Hon. COMMISSIONER would not name a day for the final order, but the insolvent in the meantime should have the protection of the Court. THEROMFORD BANK.-IN RE JOHNSON, JOHNSON, AND MANN . A meeting of the creditors claiming on this estate was held in the private room upstairs bef ore M r. C ommissioner Holroyd. The meeting was appoint e d f or e l even, b ut did not take place till late in the day. __- Sir Robert Peel arrived in town; this morning, from a visit to her Majesty at the Pavilion at Brighton. The Chancellor of the Exchequer paid a visit to the Right Honourable Baronet soon after his arrival in Whitehall gardens. • THE STOCKPORT FORGERY. --THE QUEEN v. JOHN KENYON WINTERBOTTO3I.—On Saturday the Judges (with the exception of Mr. Baron Alderson, and Justices Manic Williams, and Wightman,) assembled in Sergeants'-Inn Hall, to consider the objections reserved by Mr. Baron Gur ne'y on the trial of the prisoner at the late Chester Winter Assizes. The circumstances of the case must be fresh in the minds of our readers. Mr. Welsby having been heard at considerable length in support of the objections, and Mr. V. Williams in support of the inictment, Lord Denman said the Judges would take time to consider the points raised before they gave judgment. We hear that a marriage is shortly to take place between Capt. Demers and Miss . F.lizabeth Paget. The lady is a daughter of the late Sir Charles Bagot, and niece to the Marquis of Anglesea. The Gallant Officer belongs to an old Suffolk family.—Court Journal. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) COMMITTAL OF A SOLDIER FOR FELONY.— William Smart, a private in the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with picking the pocket of a young man, a grocer's assistant, named Henry Pearson, under the following cir cumstances. _ _ Henry Pearson represented himself to be a grocer, residing in Tottenham-court-road, and that he was drinking the previous night (Sunday) at the White Hart Public house, Tottenham-court-road, in company with the prisoner. At that time he had money on him to the amount of 325., 255. of which was in his left-hand breeches pocket, and the remaining 7s. in his right ; he had also a knife, penholder, and a cigar -case. He got rather tipsy, and went home in company, he believed, with the prisoner and the potboy. Next morning he missed the money, which was in his left hand breeches pocket, as well as the cigar-case, penholder, and knife. He learned then that the soldier had been seen to put his hand into his pocket, and was in custody for it. He was not aware of this before, from his having been so tipsy at the time when the offence was committed. Thomas Bridges, potboy at the White Hart, deposed to his going home with the prosecutor the previous even ing. The soldier, who had been drinking with the latter, accompanied them. While on their way he saw the prisoner put his hand,_ successively, into the prosecutor's breast pocket, and two coat skirt pockets. He noticed on one of these occasions that the prisoner ap peared to transfer something into his own coat skirt pocket. On noticing this, witness put his hand outside over the pocket, and found something square and hard. He then ac cused the prisoner with the intention of robbing the prose cutor. The latter at this moment fell, and on helping to lift him up he (the witness) noticed a cigar-case at the feet of the soldier. Witness then, to satisfy himself, placed his hand again over the outside of the prisoner's coat skirt pocket, and found the hard substance gone. He was sure the prisoner had dropped the case to escape detection. There was another young man present who could speak further in support of the charge. A respectable-looking young man, whose name we did not catch,:then stated that he was proceeding home in the evening, when his attention was called to the prosecutor, in company with the potboy and soldier. He went up close to them, and watched them, observing that the prosecutor was drunk. He saw the prisoner not only in regular succession feel all the coat and waistcoat pockets of the prosecutor, but at last put his hand into the left-hand breeches pocket, from which he appeared to abstract something, and drop it into his own pocket. He then looked out for a constable, and gave him in charge. The police-constable who took him into custody said he found the parties at the corner of University-street. On his going up to them, the potboy and the last witness charged the prisoner with picking the pocket of the prosecutor in the manner described. He (the constable) seeing something in the street picked it up, and found it was a cigar case. The prisoner on being taken to the station-house, was asked if he had any money, in answer to which he replied, he might have eight or fourteen shillings, but that he had no gold. He was afterwards searched, and amongst bid. of copper, a sovereign was found; also a knife and pen-holder. These articles, as well as the cigar case, were identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner, on being asked what he bad to say re specting the charge, said he was called into the public-house by the prosecutor, who treated him first with a glass of gin, and aftewards with a bottle of sherry . Seeing that prose- cutor was drunk. he went home with him, and on the way the prosecutor pulled out a handful of copper and gave it him. He put it in his pocket intending to preserve it for the prosecutor, and did not know there was a sovereign amongst it till he was taken to the station-house. The sergeant of the prisoner's company, who was present at the investigation, said the prisoner had been in the regi ment four years, and had always borne a good character. Mr. HALL remarked, the case was so clear, that there was nothing left him but to commit the prisoner for trial. He was then removed. LAMBETH.-(THIS DAY.) Charlotte Daniels was charged with having stolen several valuable articles from the house of Major Richardson, in whose service she was employed as housemaid. The property consisted of household furniture, carpets, hearth-rugs, plated dishes, linen, wine-glasses, decanters, &c., &c. Police-constable Hockaday took the prisoner into custody on Saturday, from information which he had received. Two other persons who had been in the service of Major Richardson were charged at this Court on Saturday, and their share in the robbery having been proved, they were re manded until Wednesday. Sufficient evidence having been adduced to connect the prisoner with the robbery, she was remanded until that day. MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During the week ending on Saturday, the receipts of Wheat of home growth, coastwise, as well as by land car riage and samples, were on the decrease; the same may be said of Barley and Malt; but those of Oats from Ireland were moderate. Of all other kinds of Grain the arrivals and im ports were scanty. Fresh up from Essex, as well as from Kent, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire, we received rather scanty supplies of Wheat, consequently the stands were poorly filled with samples of both red and white. The attendance of both town and country dealers was by no meats nume rous ; while the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was inactive, yet last week's quotations were supported in every sale that took place; still a clearance was with difficulty supported. The general condition of the Wheats was fair. The show of Foreign Wheat was rather small. Selected parcels moved off slowly, though at full currencies, but all other kinds were a mere drug. So little was passing in Corn under lock, that the quotations were almost nominal. The show of Barley, both English and Foreign, was not to say large ; buyers, however, being very cautious in their opera tions, the article was only in moderate request, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last. There was rather more doing in the best qualities of Malt. All other kinds were inactive at late rates. The show of Oat samples was fair. Most kinds were a slow inquiry, at previous cur rencies. Beans, Peas, and Flour moved off heavily, yet prices were supported. The Seed trade was very inactive.

Since this day se'nnight the imports of live stock from abroad for our market have not been so extensive as in the preceding week, yet they have, for the present season, proved rather numerous, they having amounted to 136 Sheep and 93 Oxen and Cows, all from Holland. To-day there were on sale here 70 Beasts and 90 Sheep, the whole of which were in moderate condition, and sold at corresponding rates. From the official returns just issued, we learn that the following were the importations in the years mentioned :- 1842. 1843. 1844. Oxen and 8u115...3,165 1,114 3,710 Cows 1,046 367 1,155 Calves 76 40 55 Sheep Lambs lO 7 16 Swine and Hogs 415 359 271 The numbers of Beasts that arrived from our various grazing counties were less than those exhibited on Monday last, owing to which, the increased attendance of buyers, and to the dead markets being tolerably well cleared of their late large country arrivals, the Beef trade was somewhat better, and, in some few instances, the primest Scots (which were scarce) commanded an advance of 2d per 81bs. In all other kinds of Beef, however, not the slightest improvement was noticed. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,250 Scots and homebreds ; from the Northern grazing districts, 200 short horns.; from the Western and Midland counties, 600 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 500 of various kinds; and from Scotland; 180 horned and polled Scots. The supply of Sheep exhibited a decided falling off, yet it was quite equal to meet the 'wants of the trade. On the whole, a slight, improvement-was noticed in the demand, but prices ruled about stationary, though they were fully supported. The nuffibera Of Calves were on the increase, owing to which the Veal trade was heavy, on lower terms. For Pigs we , had a steady inquiry, at till prices.

The supplies of meat killed in the metropolis having been somewhat extensive, the general demand has ruled inactive, and previous rates have been with difficulty supported.

BOROUGH HOP MARMET. We have little or no variation to notice in the demand for, or prices of, any kind of Hops, the supply of which on offer is very limited. WOO?. IVEADECET. Since the conclusion of the public sales there has been a very steady demand for nearly every description of Wool, the prices of which are still looking up. The imports in the past week have consisted of 109 bales from the Cape, 70 ditto from Constantinople, 45 ditto from Calcutta, and 139 ditto from New South Wales. TALLOW. During the week there has been a fair demand, especially compared with the same period last year, but the market is heavy as to price. This is caused in some measure by th e reduction of is 6d per cwt in Town Tallow, which is a ver. 9 . unusual circumstance at this season of the year. The very little business doing in new Y.
