In the House of Lords, the Earl of RADNOR called' the attention. of Members to the system now adopt6d at the post-office of opening letters, and movf34 for a return of the letters that had been ope.:.ed since the commencement. of the present year. The Duke of Vici.rallo-ro-s resisted the motion, on th e ground , that the law of Queen ANNE in that re spect 3vz. - 5 still is force. The Secretary of State had Eland siccordance , Aith the law of the country. After a few remark , . from Lord CAMPBELL depre cittine the exerc;se of power which might b e sane tionA by the Act referred to, the motion was nega tived; rincl the IlOuse adjourned. After the presentation of petitions, the SPEAHIR, .infozrzed the Home that he had received a letter from the agents on the peiition against the return for the Kiimarnoek Burghs, to the effect that it not their intenon.to proceed uith the petition. In answer to a: question from Mr. HAwEs, relative to the encroachments on Greenwich Park, the Earl of LlNt - ,:4N said there was - no foundation for the repoi t about building in the Park. • Six R. PEELmoved the order of the; day for going into committee op the Sugar Duties Bill, and ex plained at much_ length the plans of the Government with regard to. importation of colonial and foreign sugar. After perusing his speech :carefully, we cannot see that he threw much additional light on the subject, for all the distinction that he drew beteeen .sugar raised by free labour au l by slave labor is mere moonshi ne . S ugar ra i se d b y s l aves will4:11e-imported into this country in one wa, or another. There is - n o poss ibi l i ty of preventing it, and 0 : keep up the fares is only to deceive the West India proprietots. If the Government are really seriout in discouraging ,ery, they should forbid the importation of cotton, corn, wool) sugar, molasses rum, cocoa-nuts, hides, tallow, horns, tobacco, snuff, cigars, and almost every imaginable foreign commodity that is used by the in habitants of the United Kingdom. The mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire arc kept going solely by slave labour. One-half .of the consumption of the country imported from foreign States is the produce of slavery, and it therefore is utterly absurd to make a distinction between free-labour and slave-labour sugar. The only point of interest in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech was that the Government would not yield to the amendment of Mr. MILES, and that they would abide by their original proposition. He accordingly announced that, when the motion was made for reducing the duty on West India sugar to 205., he should move that it be 245. the cwt. The speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL was remarkable for its candour. He admitted that the Government had been defeated on several imp'rtant questions during the present session; that, consequently, little or nothing had been done ; that Parliament might be prorogued, and business, as at the close of the preceding session, remain nearly as when they met; that many of his usual supporters had not lent him their support, but whatever might be the consequencQ the Government were determined to persevere in their course by a gradual, safe, and circumspect re-" laxat i on of those duties on articles which come into competition with the domestice produce of the country. This free trade speech did not seem to please the Tories, and the Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst cheers rather from his foes than his friends. Lord JOHN RUSSELL adverted briefly to the dif ferent topics of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, and said the main drift of it was to make Members on the other side, the usual supporters of Government, undo what they had done on Friday, and thereby destroy their independence as Members of Parliament. Mr. P. MILES regretted that Sir ROBERT PEEL was determined to oppose the motion carried by a ma jority of 20 on Friday ;. he regretted also that he was compelled to oppose the Government, but he could not shrink from his duty, and must persist in his amendment. Sir ROBERT PEEL immediately rose, and moved that the blank be filled up with 245. An interesting debate ensued, in which Mr. KEM BLE, Mr. DISRAELI, Mr. 14.4.13011 CHERE, Lord STAN LEY, and many other Members joined, and for which, owing to want of space, we must refer to the Parlia mentary report. The House divided ; the numbers were, for Mr. MlLEs's motion, 233 ; against it, 255 ; majority for Ministers, 22. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. It is not often that we have occasion to praise the sagacity and liberality that characterise the deci sions of our police magistrates, who, in far too many cases, exhibit a spirit of forbearance towards the rich and the respectable, which they cannot And it in their nature to exhibit towards the poorer classes of the community; but the judgment of Mr. PAYNTER, in a case which came before him on Saturday last, at the Wandsworth police-otfice, is an exception to the rule usually observed by his brother magistrates, and we feel, therefore, sincere satisfaction in bearing our humble testimony to his rare forbearance, good sense, and appropriate kindliness of feeling. The case which called for this gentleman's decision is as follows :—Some time last summer a pier was erected near the Red House at the instance of the the 'Westminster Steam-boat Company, to enable their vessels to land and embark passengers. In con sequence of this accommodation Battersea-fields have become a favourite resort on the Sunday for some thousands of mechanics, their wives and children, where they may obtain a mouthful of fresh air, and get a glimpse of something that may remind them of the country. To increase the amusement of these toil-worn artisans, several persons have speculated on the letting out of horses and donkeys for penny rides; and one individual, in par ticular, has laid out a considerable sum of money in the erection of a gigantic swing. It was to devise some means of putting a stop to these " nuisances" —as they were termed—that a police Inspector waited upon the magistrate. Mr. PAYNTER having heard the particulars of the case, inquired whether the spot on which these amusements were indulged in, was common-land or private property, and being told that it was private, observed, that in that case he had no power to interfere, adding—we quote his own words—" and Ido not see why I should inter fere. In no other country are the working-classes restricted in their Sunday amusements, and I do not see, so long as these amusements are harmless in their character, that they should be restricted in this country. The gentry throng Rotten-row on the Sabbath in carriages and on horseback ; then why is the same privilege to be denied to the humble mechanic ?" To these judi cious and liberal observations the Inspector made an swer, that he should not have dreamed of interfering, but that some of the resident gentry made complaints, on which Mr. PAYNTER very properly rejoined— " Let the gentry, before they make these complaints, set an example of abstinence in their own persons." No doubt the " respectable" people who reside in the immediate neighbourhood of Battersea-fields amuse themselves on the Sabbath in their own peculiar fashion —no doubt they take special care to indulge in the luxury of a ride or a drive into the parks or the country, or take the air on the river in their own wherries or sailing-boats—no doubt, too, they pursue these sabbatical amusements without entertaining the slightest notion that they are guilty of a "nuisance" in doing so; and yet, when the humbler classes of their fellow-countrymen presume to claim the same privilege, substituting merely the swing for the carriage, and the donkey for the horse, then, forsooth, they are not only setting at naught the sacred institution of the Sabbath, but are guilty, also, of a decided "nuisance," to which it is the bounden duty of all the respectable gentry of Battersea to put an end. There is nothing annoying —nothing indecorous—say, these exclusive and would-be genteel folks—in riding out on Sundays on horseback or in a carriage ; the annoyance and the indecorum consist in galloping about on a donkey, or ascending a swing —heinous vulgarities, which cannot but be exceedingly offen sive to the refined notions of all the "respectable " individuals who may chance to reside in the imme diate vicinity of the profaned fields where they are . perpetrated ! There is an infinite deal of cant and narrow-mindedness in this assumption. If the gentleman has his horse, or .his carriage, or his pleasure-boat; why should not the mechanic have his donkey and his swing ? If the former may enjoy himself, as best suits his fancy, on the Sab bath, why should not the latter be allowed the same privilege? GOD knows, wealth and gentility have already quite power enough in this Mammon-wor shipping, respectability-ridden country, without arro gating to themselves the additional right to deprive the poorer classes of the community of the few enjoy ments which inexorable circumstances have left them. The judicious and tolerant decision of Mr. PAYN►TEE will, we trust, not be without its effects in lowering the pretensions of the respectable and would-be ex clusive members of society, who can see not the slightest harm in any Sunday amusements which they themselves may choose to indulge in, but de nounce every species of recreation as a " nuisance" that is pursued by the poorer classes, who have but one day in the week on which to enjoy themselves. This upstart pharisaical assumption, on the part of those who should know better, cannot too promptly or too decidedly be put down by the force of public opinion. Madrid journals of the 9th . inst. have been,re ceived. The Finance Minister, from all accounts, is sadly puzzled to find v,ays and means to carry on the Government. The treasury is empty, and no one will lend money but at an enormous interest. The Funds are more depressed than they have been at any former period. On the Bth the Three per Cents. had fallen to 26-; for cash and 26i at 60 days ; and the Fives to 20 for cash and 20i at 60 days. The following extract of a letter from Gibraltar, which appears in the Tiempo, contains the latest in telligence from Morocco : " Advices from Tangiers, of the 28th May, state that the Spanish naval forces before that port consist of the Christina frigate, the Venus corvette, the Mazanares, and Nervion, brigs ; the Andaluz steamer and two packets, the Rayo and Carthagena. Those forces were ordered to support the Spanish Cabinet's claims, and to offer refuge to our countrymen, should events force them to quit the territory of Morocco. On the 28th the Emperor had returned no answer to the ulti matum which the Spanish Vice-Consul at Tangiers had con veyed to Earache, The English Consul takes an active part in all the negotiations ; it is said that he is ordered by his Government to avert, by all possible means, a rupture be tween Spain and Morocco, seeing that England is interested in the empire retaining all its force and its whole territory. With this view the English Consul would appear to be in structed to recommend moderation, and prevail en the Em peror to give Spain satisfaction for the vexations she com plains of. General Wilson, Governor of Gibraltar, has been to Tangiers. The motive which may have induced him to proceed thither is a mystery." We learn from the Paris Moniteur of Saturday, that dispatches had been received from General Mato- RICIERE, dated the sth inst., being six days later than the dispatch which announced the collision between the French troops and the Moors on the frontiers of Morocco. No further engagement had taken place, and the intelligence was considered so favourable, that the departure of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, had been postponed for some days. In the meantime, it is said an Aide-de-Camp of Marshal SOULT had been dispatched to Morocco on a special mission, for the purpose of settling the differences between the two countries. This is certainly a much more rational plan than to dispatch a fleet under the command of an inexperienced youth, anxious to rival his brother (the Duke D'AusIALE), and make a sensation in France by an attack on Tan giers or Mogador. On Friday the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on railroads was continued, and, virtually brought to a close by a division, in which the Government had a large majority. M. DE BORT moved, as an amendment to the Govern ment plan, that a sum of 47,000,000 francs be voted for laying down the rails of the line between Orleans and Bordeaux, and then leasing it for a term of twelve years. The object of this motion was that the State should execute all the works on railroads, and then farm out the lines to companies. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 40. On this subject the Journal des Debats has the following remarks : "This result was foreseen, and we hope will put an end to the question of short leases, and their advocates we hope will return to more wholesome ideas. It may be conceived that the system of execution and working by the State would have many strong partisans ; and yet, strange to say, not a Member olthe Chamber rose to support it when it was pro posed. If it offers great risk, it also presents incontestible advantages. It seduces by its grandeur and by its simplicity —it exposes the Treasury to great losses, but it assures it the whole of the profits; and it is very singular that the authors of the amendment, persuaded as they appear to be that these profits would be very considerable, would consent so benevo lently to sacrifice a part of them to the farming companies. Besides, the working of the lines of the State leaves to the Government the free and permanent arrangement of the tariffs. All these advantages disappear in the system of short leases; the companies incur not the least risk, and are assured of a considerable profit. Why, therefore, should these privileges be renounced by the State and thrown into the hands of the farming companies? "The plan of the Government is founded on other bases, and has a peculiar character ; it does not engage the finances of the State, and does not encumber it with an uncertain result ; it assures to the railroad system a more rapid deve lopment, and, favours that spirit of association which has produced such grand effects in a neighbouring country. "The Committee on the Bill has added fresh conditions, all tending to its improvement. There will be as many third class carriages attached to every train as may be required ; the Government will reserve to itself to regulate the maxi mum and the minimum of speed. If the company lower their fares they cannot again raise them but after a delay of three months for passengers and of twelve months for goods. The advantages of the most perfect centralization are thus obtained; and we think that this is much better than to hare thrown the Government of a nation of 35,000,000 of subjects into the embarrassment of an administration at once gigantic and complicated." The Revue des Deux 31undes thus adverts to the visit of the KING to the Queen of ENGLAND " The journey of the King is now decided upon, although it is adjourned till after Queen Victoria's accouchement. King Louis Philippe, on landing in England, would, most un doubtedly, meet there with the cordial reception and warm demonstrations which the enemy of Poland could not ex pect; the people would crowd ou his passage, and meetings would take place in every part of the kingdom, to organise for him a triumphal reception. But the exalted sense of the Prince who presides over the destinies of France. has induced him to reject such dangerous success, and such fatal acclamations. He will not expose himself to being selected as the devoted friend of England, and will not give the enemies of his dynasty such a theme to turn to account. The King will return, at the Isle of Wight chateau, the family visit which has been paid to him at Eu ; he will arrive thither, it is said, on board a steamer, without appariel and eclat, and impart as scrupulously as Queen Victoria herself did, quite a personal character to his visit."

MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, AIONDAY EVENING. Stocks closed rather higher this afternoon, Consols being 98* to -. The Unfunded Debt continued firm at 765. to 745. premium. In the foreign investments there was scarcely any al teration. Spanish Actives were 231 to I, and the Three per Cents. 34i to ; Mexican Bonds were 34f to I ; Buenos Ayres, 361, and Brazilian, 811 The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these : —Birmingham and Gloucester New were 6; Bristol and Exeter, 9; Eastern Counties, New, 5; Great Western, 46; Lancaster and Carlisle, 4 ; Croydon, 41 to 5; Newcastle and Darlington, 221 ; Paris and Or leans, 17! to and Paris and Rouen 17 t o 17* p rem i um; Blackwall 91, and North Midland, 5 discount.

The important public sales of wool having terminated, it is highly satisfactory to remark that they have gone off ex tremely well, and that the reduction of the duty upon foreign sorts has not in any way affected the value of the colonial staple, all descriptions experiencing a brisk demand. The quality of the Australian and Cape fleeces is considered to have exhibited an improvement as compared with last season, when they were affected by the drought and scarcity of labour. By private ship, accounts have been received to the 13th April, from Buenos Ayres. They convey, however, no defi nite news respecting the progress of the war, being, neverthe less, made to read in favour of the Argentines. The British Minister, Mr. Turner, had arrived out at Monte Video, and it was hoped would use his good offices to effect some arrange ment whereby further bloodshed may be spared. The sugar question is the subject of almost universal con versation in the City, and the greatest interest is felt to hear what Sir Robert Peel will say in the House this evening. The fact that the loss of the- revenue on the West India staple would necessitate a remodelling of the Ministerial finance plans is, of itself, sufficient to excite interest here. • The English Funds have this morning felt the influence of the majority obtained against the Government, and of its reported resignation having been tendered to the Queen, although this is not fully credited. At present the market is a shade better than it opened. Consols have been at 97/ to 98, and now 98 to for the opening, ex div. Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1011 to 1011; and the Three per Cents, at 981 to f. Exchequer Bills have been quiet but firm at 76 ; Bank Stock is steady at lssi.

The only bets we heard yesterday were 200 td 100, and near the close 250 to 100 on Orlando. _ At Messrs. Tattersall's sale yesterday Priscilla Tomboy fetched 250 guineas and Young Lochinvar 200 guineas. At a meeting of the Jockey Club y es t er d ay, adjourned from Saturday, some highly important resolutions were passed with reference to the recent transactions at Epsom and Ascot. They will be made public in the course of the week. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Donizetti's opera of Lucrezia Borgia was played on Satur day for the first time this season. This opera remains a fa vourite of the second rank, and occasionally played chiefly pleases by the excellent opportunities it affords to Grisi and also to Mario, who, by the way, first appeared before the London public in the character of Gennaro. The drama having the advantage of the strong situations created by Victor Hugo, there is room for histrionic power given to the artists which is often denied them in works of a much higher calibre in a musical point of view. Such situations as the finale to the first act (called the " prologue"), the goblet scene, and the death of Gennaro at the end, could not be otherwise than effective in the grasp of such an impassioned vocalist as Grisi, and it is said that Lucrezia is one of the characters she most loves to play. There is, perhaps, no in stance of an opera in which so much is done by the construe - tion of the drama, and therefore, when we read that on the first production of this Italian work at Paris, Victor Hugo brought his action as the author of the original French tra gedy, we cannot doubt that be felt the value of the part of the work that proceeded from himself. There are, however, mu sical beauties in Lucrezia Borgia in spite of its common places. The finale to the " prologue" is well conceived and dramatic. There is a fine trio by Grisi, Mario, and Lablache in the goblet scene ; and the song by Orsini, " Il segreto per csier felice," is one of the most " taking" of the modern Ita lian stage. Grisi, as Lucrezia, of course sings and acts magnificently. Mario sang "Il mio tesoro" sus charmingly as it could be sung, and was admirable as Gennaro. For Alfonso we have the unrivalled basso Lablache, who, in former days, when the character was sustained by Tamburini, generally took the little no-character of Petrucci. Orsini was played by Fa vanti., This young lady gains much' in confidence, and im proves greatly as an actress. At the end of the " first" (really the second) act Grisi and Mario came before the cur tain, as well as at. the conclusion of the entire opera. SURREY THEATRE. The Lilliputian Brockstedt family made their debut at this theatre last evening with the most complete success. This wonderful little family consists of two brothers and a sister. The eldest brother is twenty-two years of age, and thirty-six inches high; the sister is eighteen years of age, and thirty-two inches high; and the younger brother is thirteen years of age, and twenty-eight inches high. These wonderful beings are perfectly formed; there is no deformity, no largeness of head, such as is generally found in dwarfs ; they are perfect miniature specimens of humanity. After having been introduced to the audience in their ordinary costume, the curtain fell, and on its rising a rninature stage, with appropriate scenery, was discovered, and the Lilliputian family went through a ballet of action, entitled Napo.'con's Generosity, in which they exhibited pantomimic powers of no mean order. The young lady, who appeared as a shep herdess, sung a German song, and was much applauded. The elder gentleman appeared as a sergeant, and went through the manual exercise in most soldierliko style, while the younger of the brothers appeared as Cupid, and afterwards as Napoleon Buonaparte, and in the character of the Emperor strutted about and gave his commands in the most imperial style imaginable, and concluded by waltzing with the shep herdess, when the sergeant presenting arms, the curtain fell amidst the most enthusiastic applause. They were called for at the conclusion, and being led forward, were received with the most rapturous cheering, and the.repe tition of the performances fur every evening was an nounced amidst the unanimous applause of a crowded house. The Brockstedt family have made a decided hit, and will, no doubt, draw crowded houses during their engagement. Dr. Thomas Hope, for more than forty years Pro fessor of Chemistry in the University of Edinburgh, died last week from a stroke of paralysis. He was in hi's 77th year. The opening of the Great Northern line from Lon don to Newcastle deserves to be regarded as an event of no ordinary magnitude in the history of railway communica tion. A distance of near three hundred miles performed in twelve hours and a half the longest continuous line in the country will be opened throughout A passenger may take his seat in London, after breakfasting comfortably at Euston square, at nine o'clock, and in the same carriage, without change of baggage, or any other disturbance, will find him self transferred to Newcastle-on-Tyne by half-past nine on the same evening, in time fora late dinner or an early supper! Sunday the usual notices were posted on the dif ferent church doors for persons qualified to vote at elections to send in their claim. FIRE IN FlNSBURY. — Saturday night a fire, at tended with considerable destruction of property, broke out, in the extensive range of workshops belonging to Mr. Rey. nolds, bookbinder, Eldon-street, Finsbury-square, within a short distance of the Roman Catholic Chapel. The premises were composed chiefly of timber, and the flames had gained possession of the roof before many minutes had elapsed. Se veral engines were very soon on the spot, and a plentiful sup ply of water was readily obtained, and the fire was subdued Tay twelve o'clock, • .. • • !SUMMARY OF NEWS AND atibitt eptitton.

" There is now in Madrid," says the Castellano, " a man named Manuel Collar, aged 136 years. He was born at Cangas de Vines, in the Asturias, or: the 24th of June, 1708, as shown by the register of his birth, in due form. He en joyed the entire confidence of Carlos de los Rios de Rohan Chabot, the sixth Count de Fenian Nunez, as his private se cretary, whilst he was Ambassador from the Court of Spain in Lisbon and Paris, before and after the French revolution. He was acquainted with the great Frederick 11. His habits are simple and regular. He rises every day with the sun, and takes a lorg walk before breakfast. He has all his teeth, with the exception of the molar teeth, and nearly the whole of his hair, but it is quite white. He stands very up right, and everything about him indicates extraordinary vigour. He knew all the dynasty of the Bourbons, Philip V., Ferdinand VI., Charles 111., Charles IV., Joseph Bona parte, and Ferdinand VII. He does not smoke, and only uses spectacles to read and write. His appearance is that of a man of 70. Cpl, UILT-WASEIXONILBTAB. We understand the departure of the King of Saxony for Scotland and Wales 114 been deferred until Thursday next.

THE HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Saturday completed ; the 356th consecutive night during which the Haymarket Theatre has been open without recess, under the able management of Mr. Webster. This is a circumstance un paralleled in the history of theatricals, and is equally honour able to the management, the actors, and the public—the latter must have properly appreciated the efforts of the farner. It is gratifying to find that, notwithstanding the general depreciation of theatrical property, " the little theatre in the Haymarket," the home of Foote and of the Colmans, is still prospering. TOM THUMB.—It appears that the exhibition of the General positively closes on Thursday next, the 20th instant. He is exhibited on Friday and Saturday at Greenwich. He is then to take various tours, proceeding to Ireland, Scotland, and Paris; and will then return the Czar's visit to this country. Fanny Elssler has arrived in town, and appears to-morrow night in the beautiful ballet of Le Peintre. STRIKE OF THE LANARKSHIRE COLLIERS.—A strike as sudden as it is extensive, has just taken place in this county. Regarding the immediate cause of this sudden movement we have not been able to ascertain the particulars. 'The' strike has not extended to the iron stone miners,— Glasgow Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord Mayor granted a summons, calling upan the commander of the steam-boats which ply between London and Blackwall, to answer the serious complaint of having overloaded the vessel on Sunday to the imminent danger of the lives of the passengers, several hundreds of whom were nn hoard.' The complainant, in answer to questions from his Lordship, said that when several gentlemen not only ex postulated against the crowding of the boat, but actually quitted it from apprehension of the consequences which they considered likely to result, those in authority on board wholly disregarded the appeal, and that;for fifty who abandoned the vessel at tale of the places at which she stopped in her, pas sage 100 stuffed themselves into her. His Lordship intimated, that he, as conservator of the river, would attend to all complaints against the commanders of steam-vessels for any acts by which the lives of the public were endangered, and that if any awful catastrophe should occur there should be no imputation against the magistracy of London at all events. George Hacket, a young fellow, who has been frequently found offending as a smuggler, was briought before the Lord Mayor and Sir Peter Laurie, charged under a clause of the Act, which inflicts a penalty of 100/. The case was repre • seated by the Solicitor to the Customs as an aggravatedone. The defendant was seen by a Custom-house officer to leave the Belfast steamer, evidently carrying something heavy about him, and was followed by the officer, who asked bim whether he was in possession of anything upon which the duty had not been paid. The defendent replied that he had not much, which was correctly translated by the former into the affirmative. Three bottles of brandy were then flung by the defendant into the water, and lie smashed a fourth bottle upon the arm of the officer, having e failed in the object of breaking the man's head with it. The Custom-house officer and his assistant knew from the smell of the liquor which was spilled that it was foreign brandy, and hoped the whole penalty would be inflicted on account of the dangerous course pursued by the smuggler. The defendant denied that he had made any effort .to in. jure the officer, and'said the bottle, which really contained sugar and water, had been broken in the unnecessary struggle which took place. The prisoner was stated to have, about six months ago, flung four bottles, containing, no doubt, contraband spirits, into the Thames, when pursued by the officer. He was convicted in the penaly of 1001, and, in default of payment, was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for three months. CLERKENWELL. This morning Mr. Greenwood, on taking his seat on the bench, called the intention of Sergeant Wilkinson of the G division of police to a very great nuisance in the vicinity of the Police-court. The Magistrate remarked that in the morning, about the time the Court opens, more particularly on Monday mornings, an immense crowd of bad characters assemble in front of the Police-court, some of them half drunk and all of them indecorous. They had no right to assemble in this manner, and if the police of the G division did not suppress the nuisance, he would certainly apply to the Commissioners of Police on the subject. The reporter may add that it has come to his knowledge that several of the shopkeepers in the Bagnigge-wells-road, are about memorialising the magistrates of this Court con cerning the nuisance to which Mr. Greenwood adverted. They urge that they sustain a large pecuniary loss from it as respectable persons avoid a neighbourhood where they may be offended by the most obscene and blasphemous language. Several of the inhabitants of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn road, opposite the Court, have lately left from the same cause. The crowd is sometimes so great as two hundred, consisting of unfortunate women, thieves, and, in short, the veriest off acourings of society. Sergeant Wilkinson promised to attend to the matter in future, and the subject dropped. Mrs. Margaret Broughton, the wife of a surgeon, residing at 4, Old North-street, R e d Li on - square, was charged with stabbing Mrs. Jane Brockett with a knife. A surgeon's certificate was produced, stating that the pro secutrix was unable to attend. Police-constable Andrews, 65 E, deposed being on duty in Old North-street. Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning he heard cries of " Police" proceed from No. 4, and on entering the parlour of that house saw Mrs.Brockett bleed ing from a wound on the right arm ; the wound seemed to be deep, and was about an inch in length. She said the prisoner. had stabbed her with a knife, and gave her in charge. Witnesseinderstood that the interference of the pro secusrix between the prisoner and her sister, who were quar relling, was the cause of the stabbing. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. William litigley, of 11, Wood-street, Lambeth, a clerk in Somerset House, was charged with violently assaulting police-conslables N 122 and N 428, and with tearing the dress of the former officer; also on suspicion of damaging the cell in which he was confined. On Sunday night police-constable 122 N being on duty at Highbury, saw the prisonnr, who was un d er the influence of liquor, strike a gentleman who was passing by, in the face; witness, at the instance of the gentleman (a respectable soli citor, who, however, did not appear), took the prisoner into custody, but had no sooner done so than the prisoner turned on him and struck him violently on the chest. He knocked witness down, and kicked him, and before assistance could arrive literally tore the uniform coat off his back. When 422 N arrived he assaulted him likewise, and in order to remove the prisoner to the station-house it was found necessary to fetter his limbs. Witness never saw any one more violent. The prisoner said he was drunk, and did not know what he was doing. Police-sergeant Allen stated that the cell in which the prisoner was placed was much broken and injured, he be lieved by the prisonert Mr. GREENWOOD said the prisoner's station in life very much aggravated his moral guilt, and he felt it necessary to impose such a punishment as would deter persons of what ever station from acting in so disgraceful a manner. The prisoner said he had a wife and three children, that he was sorry for what he had done, and besought the magis trate to deal leniently with him. He had been twenty years in Somerset House. Mr. GREENWOOD said, that drunkenness was an aggrava tion of his guilt. He felt it his duty to commit the prisoner to the House of Correction for seven days. Mary Jones, servant to Mr. John Norton Knatchbull, of Provender House, Newtown, Kent, son of Sir E. Knatchbull, AI.P., was charged with stealing a gold watch, the property Martha of Rossiter. The prisoner and prosecutrix were fellow-servants at 1, Great Coram-street, on the 22d of April, on which day the watch was stolen. The prisoner left on the 4th of May, and soon after went to Kent, and entered Mr. Knatchbull's ser vice. Meantime the prosecutrix heard she had been attempt ing to sell the watch, and in company with police-constable 40 E, went to Provender House on Saturday last, where the prisoner was arrested, and the watch found. The prisoner tainted when apprehended. She acknowledged her.guilt, and was committed for trial. UEEN-SQUARE. An old woman, upwards of eighty years of age, named Mary Farrington, was placed at the bar charged with begging. A policeman in . private clothes stated that he saw the de fendant begging yesterday morning in Brompton-row. lle saw her stop several respectable persons and solicit alms, but only one person relieved her. He took her into custody, and found 4-ad. in her pocket. She was before Mr. Burrell on a similar charge, on Saturday, when she was cautioned and discharged. Defendant—l begged because I was distressed. The defendant's daughter, a woman between 40 and 50, here stepped forward. Mr.ISOND—Why do you allow your mother to go begging about the streets? The daughter—l have supported her for fourteen years since the death of my father in 1827. My husband is confined to bed by illness, and I have four chil dren. My mother is so very old and feeble that many per sons give her money in the streets. Mr. BOND said he had had too much experience in such matters to give a ready belief to statements of that kind. The daughter (going down on her knees)—Tell me any thing that I can do, and I will do it. My mother is very respectably connected, and I can assure you is not in the habit of begging. Only let me have her back again. The officer said he had known the old woman for the last seven years, and always suspected her to be a beggar, though he could not positively state she was one. Two other policemen said they knew both mother and daughter by sight, but had never seen either of them beg. They knew nothing of their characters. The daughter said they might, if they thought proper, make inquiries at the place where she lived, Exeter-buildings, Chelsea, and they would find what she had stated'was the truth. She again earnestly urged the Magistrate to let her mother go. Mr. Box]) said all he wanted was to protect the public from being annoyed. He was afraid if he discharged the defendant she would go and beg again. The daughter said that she would endeavour to get her mother into Lambeth workhouse, in which parish she had lived and paid rates for many years. Mr. BOND discharged the defendant, and told her that if she were brought before him again on a similar charge, she would be severely dealt with. The old woman, who appeared to be bowed down with age and infirmities, then left the Court with her daughter and the 4d., found on her person, was handed to her by the po liceman. MAT?YABONE. Robert and James Stubbs, brothers, and Robert Balls and Peter Foster, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with the following disgraceful conduct : It appeared, from the evidence of the several witnesses that at three o'clock on the previous afternoon the four prisoners were engaged fighting near the Bayley Arms, Camden-town. They were surrounded by a crowd of 500 persons, who very studiously kept a clear ring, lest the " noble masters of fence" might be incommoded. The police, however, aided by some of the more _respectable inhabitants of the district " broke ground," and conveyed the actors-in• chief to the. station-•house. Mr. RAWLINSON said that such an exhibition on a Sunday afternoon, and in the public highway, was most disgraceful. He should, therefore, fine them each 40s, or a month in the House of Correction. THE SHRIETALTY.—Mr. Alderman Challis has applied to be excused from serving the office of sheriff for the ensuing year, and the application will, no doubt be as sented to, as Alderman William Hunter is to serve the office, and great inconvenience would result from the serving of two aldermen in that office at the same time, as the magiste rial duties of the aldermen have largely increased since the establishment of the Central Criminal Court. The citizens have been looking round for some days amongst the most respectable men of business in the city, and we understand that the following gentlemen are desirous to serve :—Mr. Barber, wharfinger, the master of the Drapers' Company; Mr. Caldicot, of Cheapside ; and Mr. Milne, of Park-street, Grosvenor-square. A JOKE CONTRAEY TO EXPECTATION.—Foote, the dramatist, having in one of his entertainments caricatured an actor named O'Brien, that gentleman waited upon Foote, and complained very indignantly of the injury his character had sustained through his being taken off upon the stage. The comedian, having vainly endeavoured to laugh his visi tor into good humour, at length observed—" Well ! as you seem displeased at my taking you off, you shall immediately see me take myself oft!" The enraged actor was pacified, and Foote, taking up his hat, walked out of the room ; and O'Brien, after waiting an hour in expectation of his return, was compelled to console himself for his previous affront by a joke contrary to expectation. OLE BULL AGAIN IN TROUBLE.—ANOTHER FLARE oP.--Ole Bull, the great violinist, arrived here on Wednesday, night, on his way to Boston, and put up at the Astor House, where there are always nearly 300 travellers—a great many of them beautiful women. Yesterday, as he was preparing to go to Boston, he was arrested at the suit of his former se cretary, Julius Schubert, and has to remain penned up in New York like a canary in a cage, because he cannot give bail for 10,000 dollars to the Court of Chancery. In this dilemma what is to done ? We advise the great artist to give a magnificent concert in the Tabernacle, and endeavour, by the power of his glorious violin, to soften the heart of the Vice-Chancellor, and to wile away the time as pleasantly as possible.

ART-UNION OF LONDON. In the year 1842, the Committee of this Society, being desirous of calling the attention of artists to those highi abstract qualities of art, whi c h ex i s t se p ara te from al effect of light and shade, offered a premium, bypublic• advertisement, for a consecu ti ve ser i es o f t en designs in outline, illustrating some part of Briti,h history, or the work of some English author. In reply to this announce: ment thirty sets of designs were received, many of wili' ll displayed great talent, and were highly creditable to their authors. Mr. Selons, the successful cornPet i , ( l:: happily selected for his subj ec t th e i mmor t a l "Tilgr an Progress ;" and produced therefrom a series of graceful and animated pictures, which (increased by the liberty lity of the artist to the number of twenty-two) wer e faithfully etched for the Society by Mr. 'Henry 3lor es i : these, however, formed only part a the subjects %% hi° , the skill and feelings of the artist haddelineated; he Wa'l therefore, induced by the commendation bestowed upon his first series, and inspired, apparently, by the s ubject' to complete the whole of his original sketches, redk ib g upwards of twenty additional subjects, besides a number of beautiful vignettes and tail-pieces, which have been engraved on wood, and are now published by gr. 1 1 " 1 : f loway, of Bedford-street, Covent-,earden, in the f": 1 3, a very handsome oblong folio vo l ume , th e page be 1135 large enough to admit of the designs being engraved ° 3 a scale sufficient for their full effect. The new plates ha ve been entrusted to the well-known talent of Mr. Chariot, Rolls, and the wood engravings are a d m i ra bly ex , cut'? by Mr. John Bastin. To the volume is prefixed a brief, hut well-written memoir of John Bunyan, by Godwin, and a bibliographical notice, compozed et" much diligence and care by Mr. Pocock, which contains some curious information respecting the original publi cation of the " Progress, and some clever fc' similes of the grotesque illustrations of the old editions, forming a remarkable contrast to the polished and el's sical productions of Mr. Selons. We may add, that th e new designs are of the samecharacter as those issued DI the Art-Union of London, and are especially adapted W be bound up with their engravings, thus presenting I ° . gether, an uniform series of forty-three plates, illus trating, independently of the wood-cuts, nearly every page of Bunyan's celebrated dream: -- MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDAY . ) CORN-EXCHANGE. The finest samplis of English Wheat found buyers.
