MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—The Funds were heavy all day, and Consols de clined to 921 to # for Money, and for Account 921 to -I. Bank Stock was 2021 to 3i; India Stock, 256 fr to 71 ; Exchequer Bills, 68s. to 70s. ; India Bonds, 645. to 665. premium. There was a general depression in the Foreign market. Portuguese Five per Cents. receded to 35 : 1 to 1, the Three per Cents 224 to 4 ; Spanish Active, with the May coupons, to 18 to ; Brazilian 771 to 8 ; Mexican, 24 to ; Colom bian, 284 to 1 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 541 to #, "the Five per Cents, 102 i to ; Belgian 99 to ; Danish, 75.4 to 6. The late suspension of the Bank of Belgium at Brussels, leading to a certain panic in the Paris Money-market, caused, as is known, a run upon the new Joint Stock Bank Laffitte, whose operations have been under this head brought to public notice on various occasions. This event gave rise to a good deal of anxiety, as was natural, not only among those directly connected with the establishment as Share holders, or concerned as Note-holders, but also among the monied and trading community at large, by whom the progress of the undertaking for extending the joint-stock and paper mon e y s y stem i n F rance was watc hed with great interest. The reported advance of 11,000,000 francs by the Bank of France to enable the Laffitte Bank the more promptly to meet any probable emergency, served little, per haps, in reality, to improve its credit or increase confidence in its stability. If faith may be placed in certain arti cles, evidently proceedince from the manacrement of the Bank, the story of the by the Bank of France would appear to be without foundaelon, for it is stated that the solid position of the affairs of the Bank in point of funds proved the false hood of the rumours which were current in that respect. It emits probable, however, that after all there may be something cf evasion in this denial, and that, as the sums actually obtained from the Bank of France were against the deposit of bills or other securities of corresponding value, it may be pretended that the advance was nothing more than so much discount in the usual course of blnking affairs. Here, under the same circumstances, it would however be looked upon in the shape of an advance to meet an catraordinary case of difficulty. Although an exposition of the concerns of the bank had been so recently made to the general assembly of prcprictors, yet with a view to dissipate the uneasiness which might be felt on account of the rumours current to its prejudice, an extra state ment of its situation to the end of the last year has recently been publish, d, from which the following results may be ,a3athered. The general morerucnt of its business, that is of its -stiseeunta, deposits, and issues for the month of December, had risen to _88,500,000f., or 11,000,000 f. more than for the month preceding; but this excess, it is confessed, arose chiefly from the extensile reimbursements of its own notes bt4)ught in for payment. The bills or other values carlied to account amounted to 33,458,000 f. exceeding by 4,500,0001. the corresponding account of the month before. The increase was referable to the banking ope rations carried on through correspondents with the pro vinces. The discounts had diminished by about 650,0001., instead of exhibiting the increase of several millions, which it is assumed might have been naturally looked for from the usually greater demand for money at the close of the year. The billets or note circulation, which on the 30th of November exceeded 19,000,0001., had undergone a reduction of about b,00U,000f., which almost entirely fell upon the notes payable at three day' sight, that is upon the shortest dated of that de scription-of paper. As among the poorer classes of traders or retail dealers this would- be the class of paper in most ex tensive use, wherever paper money had got into credit at all, the fact serves to show how readily the mess of people in Fiance are disposed to take alarm, and with what distrust at bottom they aee inclined still to regard paper money. Upon the note circulation at longer dates, doubtless in larger sums, and therefore held by more substantial people, there was an increase of issue to the extent of about 300 000 f. The number of current accounts opened was 113 above the total of November. From the summary thus given it will be seen that even so. early as December, and so immediately following the derangements of the Bank of Belgium, the operations of the Bank Laffitte received no inconsiderable check. The Amount of this not to be measured only by the actual and compa rative diminution of circulation and discounts in reference to those of the month previous, but it must be taken into the account that the Bank was in a full career before, and showing upon its books a large monthly and successive in crease cf circulation, discounts, and general business. At the date to which the December account was made up, the effects of the discouragement in the Money-market were confined al.nost entirely to Paris, where experienced first, and were still too recent to have extended to, or been felt in, the departments. In order fairly to be able to appre ciate the extent of their action on the progress of the Bank, it will be necessary to wait for the balance-sheets of the present, and perhaps those of the next, month. It is statei indeed, that tir. panic, which is characterised as the re sult of false reports and malevolent insinuations, had not lasted mere than one week, and that already confidence was so far restored, that the amounts of deposits had become, as before, superior to that of the sums paid out. This may be true of Paris, but for the departments, where the evil was perhaps only beginning to be experienced, the result Set re mains to be ascertained. The position of the bank upon the face of the account ren dered was certainly not unfavourable. The liabilities con sisted of billets, or note - 4, from three to thirty days' sight, to the amount of 18,000,0001., of which only 11,000,000 f., in notes, at three days' sight, might be considered as im mediately payable. The liabilities on accounts current were never, it is said, but of very insignificant import. To meet these engagements, the bank possessed, in bills and cash, not only the equivalent amount of values received in exchange for the notes, but its own untouched capital of 13,000,000 f., besides the profits realised since its establish ment. Its disposable active assets consisted of 30,000,000 f. of good commercial bills or securities, and of 5,000,000 f. in specie, on hand, or at the Bank of France. In addition to these means, the Bank possessed a powerful guarantee fund of 40,000,000 f. still unpaid up of the original capital, but which, in case of need, might, it was assumed, be called for, and would be forthcoming from the shareholders, and this amount was exclusive of the portion of capital before stated as being already paid up. With respect to the Bank of Belgium; it has been ex plained, on authority which can leave little doubt of the fact, that the Bank Laffitte had no further connection with it than transactions of no special importance in the ordinary routine of banking business ; and that, so far from being liable to con siderable loss through uncovered accounts, the Bank Laffitte was actually debtor upon balance for an inconsiderable sum to the Belgian Bank. POST.—The Funds were not so well quoted in the Eng lish Market to-day by about per cent., while, in the foreign house, they were rather materially lower. The debate in the French Chamber of Deputias on Thursday, in the course of which M. Thiers adverted to the alliance between France and England as being less strict than was the case sometime ago— a circumstance that the Minister, M. Mole, was not altogether able to deny—has probably had an unfavourable influence on prices. The advices received by the Flanders mail are, how ever, alone sufficient to account for some little uneasiness among the stockholders. The Antwerp papers have at length assumed so extremely gloomy a tone, with reference to the military preparations which are going on in different parts of Belgium and Holland, that war would seem quite inevitable at that place, and the consequences of such a state of things to the commerce of the country are anticipated, and dwelt upon with as much earnestness as if hostilities had actually corn menced. The markets have, no doubt, been further affected by the clamour which has been raised in many parts of the country respecting the Corn-laws, as any alteration of the nature pro posed in them cannot, if carried, but have a most important bearing on the value of funded property. --- HERALD.—The approaching session of Parliament is the constant theme of conversation amongst the commercial and monetary aristocracies. The meeting of Parliament has always been one of interest to Englishmen, but it is long since we noticed so much anxiety respecting the results of the ses sion to which we are daily and hourly so rapidly approximating. Setting aside even the Canada question, it is admitted on all bands that the question of the Corn-laws is as vitally import ant to the welfare of every branch of this great mixed commu nity as doubtless ite Cabinet feel it is to themselves per sonally. We * nave reason to believe that, under the patronage of Dariel O'Connell and our overgrown manufacturers, a pi ..g abrogati on o f t h e present Corn-law is contemplated. But, if that fails, one strongly modified will be attempted to be crammed, if poss ibl e, down Britain's legislative throat. Should Ministers succeed in their nefarious project, as de vised by their prompters and supporters, of which we have learnt some faint outline, though we can hardly bring our selves to believe that any British Minister, for the sake of place or false popularity, 7,0u1d dare to make th e attempt, i t mill create one of th greatest revulsions in the commercial and agricaltar..l interests of the country, as well as private propert: and engagements, that has occurred during the past age, It is not denied that the present Corn-laws require re vision, any more than that the present high price of bread corn is more the result of the great speculations which have been carried on by the factors than a real scarcity. But there is a difference between revision and the intended abro garien ; therefore those who wish well to the commercial and agricultural interests should be up, and be stirring, to obtain frona the justice of Parliament a fixed import duty in lieu of the present fluctuating scale, which in the time of reckless speculation has proved to be no protection . .either to the British corn -grower or the consumer, who earns his living by the sweat of bi.s brow. There has been rather more business in the Share Market / 0 -day, of which the principal portion has been in the shares of the joint-stock banks, which is a portion of the dealings in shares that is daily assuming a more important and signifi cant feature. British North American Bank Shares are 11 prem.; Colonial Bank are 44 prem. ex. div. ; London and Westminster are 4 prem. ; London and Joint-stock Bank are 3+ a 1. prem. ; Provincial Bank of Ireland are IS prem., and the Union Bank of Australia are 43- prem. ; the Worth ing Tontine has advanced to 15s. prem. In Railway Shares the principal quotations have been Great Western at 12k prem. ; Brighton, 3+ a 3 dia. ; and Blackwell are 1 a 4. dis• ; Birmingham are 78 a 80 prem. ; and the Quarter ditto 231- prem. ; Seuthampton New Shares are 19 pr em . ; C roy d on are 61 a I dis. ; and the New Scrip prem. On Saturday night the house of M. Gill, Frede rick-place, Hampstead-road. was entered by means of ske leton keys, and property to a considerable amount, con sisting principally of wearing apparel stolen therefrotr. On Sunday morning a similar robbery was committed in the house of Mr. Ruffey, Dorset-terrace, Clapham-road. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

The Powerful was masted at Shcerneis on Saturday, and they have commenced rigging the foremast. Many petty officers and prime seamen from the line-of-battle ship Russell are already volunteering for the Powerful.

BRISTOL, JAN. 18.—This vessel is arrived from the Royal Dock-yard, at Milford, in order to resume her station between this place and New York. She left Milford at ten o'clock, A. M., yesterday, lay to full one hour and a half off St. Gowan's Head, and arrived at her moorings at seven o'clock, r. 111., of the same day. The distance run in this short space of time is about 130 miles, and from the time occupied in its perform ance must be deducted the hour and a half during which she lay to off St. Gowan's Head. The distance from Tenby to King-road is said to be ninety-four miles, and the t.hortcst time we ever heard of its being done by the packets on the station is eight hours. The Great Western, on this occasion, performed it in six hours I During her stay in the Royal Dock-yard great alterations have been made on board, all of which, we are assured, will very materially contribute to the comfort and convenience of the passengers. The whole of the lower berths under the saloon have been thrown into cargo space, and the passen gers' berths reduced to a number which must ensure every comfort and accommodation. The house on deck has been removed, and in lieu thereof, the cuddy has been carried for-. wards more to the middle part of the vessel, and has a range of cabins on either side. The splendid saloon is lighted from upper skylights. Great additional room has been gained by the alterations, and a space under cover is obtained sufficient for a promenade for the whole number of passengers. The whole of the cooking establishment has been very much increased, and several other conveniences have been built on deck. The vessel, on examination, was found to be in the very best order, without even a single strain or so much as a ruck in her copper. The alterations she has undergone have been at the suggestion and under the direction of Captain Claxton, R. N. (the Managing Director), a gentleman whose scientific attainments have been largely shown in the construction of this magnificent vessel. Her able commander, Captain Hosken, has been at Milford during the vessel's stay, and, according to his invariable practice, has been the advo cate of such alterations as from experience he knows will add to the comforts of the passengers. Nearly all her berths for Monday, the 28th, are taken, although, when at the office !his afternoon, we heard of some changes going on. There is not the least doubt but that she will sail punctually to her time. On Sunday, the 13th, Mr. Edward Dunbar, of Can terbury-place, Lambeth, son of the late barrister of that name, had a party of friends to dine with him, and about ten o'clock they left the house together. Mr. Dunbar re turned between twelve and one, and went up stars to his room. In a few minutes the servant was alarmed by hear ing a heavy fall. She ran up stair=, and on entering the apartment found her master stretched upon the floor with out the least signs of life. Medical aid was sent for, and three gentlemen attended. A vein in the arm was opened, but no blood flowed. The deceased had fallen against the handle of the door, by which he received a severe wound on the forehead. Mr. Dunbar, only a few months since, catne into possession of a large property Taft by his m other, who-also died suddenly. On Wednesday the Coroner's in vest was held at the Spread Eagle, in Pratt-street. The evidence of the surgeon, who made a post mortem examina tion of the body, went to show that one of the vessels of the brain had burst, and caused almost instant death. Ver dict, " Died by the visitation of God." A lady named Hewson, possessing an independent fortune, was convicted at the Hull Sessions last week of having stolen five yards of satin turque and five yards of mohair, from a person with whom she had locked at Hull, and to whose husband it had been presented by the Sultan of Turkey. The prisoner was sentenced to three months', imprisonment without hard labour. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHURCH RATE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 19. BUNGAY ST. MARY, JAN. 4. CURTIS V. CURTIS This was a motion to discharge an injunction granted by the Vice- Chancellor, to restrain the defendant from manufacturing machines for making wire cards, used in the dressing of wool. The LORD CHANCELLOR—If the plaintiff thought it right t o bring an action to try the validity of the patent, the Court would give him leave to do so, and be might then come for an injunction to restrain others from infringing his rights when so established. As the case at present stood the injunction must be dissolvd. On December 20, Mr. Richard Mann, Churchwarden, ap - plied for summonses against ten parishioners who had refused to pay the Church Rate. Thursday last was fixed for hearing them, and the first called on was Mr. Charles Childs, who appeared. Mi. Mann depostd to the fact that payment had been re fused, and put in the rate. The defendant being called on for his reply, requested the Magistrates, J. L. Bedingfeld and E P. Montagu, Esqs., to ascertain that the alleged rate possessed the essentials of a legal rate, whereupon Mr. Mann proved that the vestry at which it was made had been,duly called, that it was signed by the Magistrates and allowed by the Ordinary. In answer to questions by the defendant, be also proved that the rate was copied, or intended to be copied, from the assess ment lately made for the purposes of the Poor Rate, under the " Assessment Act." COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JAN. 19. THE QUEEN V. RUED. BASTARDI CLAUSE. -This was an appeal against an order of S'essions. A rule bad been obtained that the prosecutor should show cause why the order of Sessions should not be quashed. An order of affiliation had been made on a man by the Ses sions, and it was stated on the face of the order that evidence %as received in corroboration of the mother's statement. The Poor Law Amendment Act directed that evidence should be given in corroboration of the materiality of the mother's state ment, and that this should be stated in the ord er • but the Clerk of the Peace, in the present instance, omitted word " materiality," and left it merely the evidence was received in corroboration. On being requested to point out in this rate the tenement and land, commonly known as the Dispensary, which stand upon the Poor Rate, Mr. Mann, with great warmth, ex claimed, " Am I botind to answer a thousand questions to this man ?" The defendant pressing the question, and Mr. Mon tagu declaring it must be answered, Mr. Mann sought through the rate, and being unable to fin " The Dispensary," he re marked that this was "only quibbling." Here the defendant called on the Magistrates to allow him to reply to this remark, the second offensive one which had fallen from Mr. Mann, and said, " Sir, the whole affair is a quibble—it is a case in which you are employing an unjust law to inflict a grievous wrong, artrl, for'tbe paltry sum of 3s. 4d., are dragging me here with a probable reversion of the Ecclesiastical Court. I feel justified in stating that in the circumstances in which you have returned to Bungay,,it is most indecorous for you to take part in the excitement and:the heart-burnings which you knew existed here. If, however, you come for law against right, it is for you to sec that your law is good." Mr. Montagu (to defendant)—Do you dispute the validity of this rate ? Lord DENMAN said— We are very sorry, but we think it will not do. We cannot supply words which are material, and which could have been so easily inserted. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE thought the word " material" was mot material. The judgment was, therefore, in favour of the respondents, Defendant—Sir, I reply in words which have already been the subject of legal adjudication, that I think I ought not to pay it,' I remind you that by doing so I carefully abstain from ousting you of jurisdiction. A certain property being not assessed— Here Mr. Mann interrupted—Not a pioperty, Sir, but the Dispensary, one of the noblest institutions in the town, which you seek to charge with parochial dues. Defendant (in continuation)--Yes, Sir, the Dispensary, to which our family has contributed, and subscribes now more than Mr. Mann And all his family, and more I believe than any other persons in the town. But I claim to reply to this charge without such interruptions which have been both frequent and indecent. He then went on to argue, that as the Magistrates had examined into the validity of the rate so far as the preliminaries were concerned, they were competent to entertain the equally important question, whether this were in fact a rate at all, especially as they had admitted evidence on the point. To determine the opposite would involve this ab surdity, that a rate might, by a powerful majority, be laid on two or three individuals only, and the Magistrates would be bound to issue warrants of distraint upon them. As they had admitted evidence that one property was not assessed, and the statute required the Magistrates to hear and determine the merits of the case, they were bound to dismiss the complaint, as they would if the case just supposed were presented to them, or if the rate had wanted the other essentials which they had at the outset ascertained. A long conversation ensued, as to the liability of a Dispen sary, or an Hospital, to assessment to the Poor Rate, and many authorities were adduced, ail gving to show that such buildings were so liable, and defendant remarked that bad it been otherwise, exemptions from Poor Rate do not extend to Church Rate, and instanced the case of Greenwich Hospital, which had recently been adjudged to pay the Church Rate. In the course of this conversation Mr. Mann asked defendant, Why do you not go to the Ecclesiastical Court for redress ? Why do you come to me ? Defendant—Sir, I am not here to seek redress; I have suffered no grievance at present, and come at your summons. As to the Ecclesiastical Court, I will just remark that we have for several years endured the annoyance inflicted by your party, although we knew your rates were entirely invalid, rather than encounter what your Archdeacon Glover called a horrible and unconstitutional, but which I call a ferocious, tri bunal. Recent events, however, have showed me that their powers may become as formidable to one side as the other, and although I should never bring any man before such a Court, you wilt assuredly find me there, should you summon me thither. Mr. Mann—l thought you would have taken better ground. Defendant—l chose this from a multitude of flaws in the rate, because it is most plainly before us, but I shall be pre pared with others when they are needed. Mr. Mann—The rate was made at a vestry, at which you only dissented. Defendant—l was deputed to attend, by persons who heretofore absented themselves. Remember, Sir, I warned you when you asked for the rate that you were voluntarily im posing on yourself a duty, which would 'lead you into strife. I expressed my conviction that if you had applied to a few of your respectable friends in the Church they would have raised this paltry 401. in half as hour, and you assented. Mr. Mann—You would have showed your good sense had you not attended. Defendant—lt is not the quality of my sense but of your law, which is now in question. The question was then raised whether any person have a be neficial occupation in the Dispensary, and it was proved a woman resided there to attend to the house and the patients, whereupon defendant observed - that here was beneficial occu pation—by the Committee if they took. rent of the woman, and by the woman if she paid no rent. Mr. Mann—Well if this be so, we'll have a new rate and beat you. Defendant—Perhaps, Sir, you will take advice on this point. Mr. Montague remarked—We are of opinion the Dispen sary ought to have been assessed ; but as that gentleman de sired to inform himself more fully, he postponed his decision on this point, and the further hearing of the ease, until Thurs day the 10th instant. FATAL HEROISM OF A BROTHER. The town of Bridgewater has been put into a consternation in consequence of the murder of a young man named Mac- Carthey. The prisoner Haywi.rd is about 18 or 19 years of age, and of a boyish look; his countenance does not indicate anything ferocious, but, on the contrary, it has a mild ap pearance. He is the son of a gardener.in this town. The un fortunate young Mac Carthey, we bear, was a fine young man, very well behaved, and of quiet and peaceable habits, in the 20th year of his age. He is the son of an Irishman, who is a portrait painter, and has resided in the town some years. During the time of the inquest the Court was crowded to excess. John MacCarthey the father of the deceased—l live in Hutchings's buildings, in North-street, Bridgewater. lam an artist by profession. About a quarter before eight I met Wm. Hayward, the prisoner, in company with two females, coming towards the drang-way leading to my house. Went into my house. Had not been there eight minutes before my daughter Elizabeth, the last witness, came in and acquainted her mother, deceased, and myself, that the prisoner, had insulted and struck her with his elbow in coming through the drang. About seven months back the prisoner insulted my daughter in a similar manner. I went out to demand an explanation. I found the prisoner leaning against the wall in the drang. I raid, " You vagabond, what is tl.e reason you have insulted my child these two or three times ?" He made light of it ; I told him if ever he insulted a child of mine again, I would have him severely punished for it; be said, " your eyes, you —; I will cut your guts out." I replied, " You scoundrel,-yoU may thank God I have not a stick, or I would give you a thrashing." " You strike me," said the prisoner, and I will serve you out." My son (the deceased), who was by my side, interfered and said, " Whilst I am here you durst not put`a hand on my father." The prisoner then went icto the road, which was close by, and took off his coat, and said, " Come along you ---, I have got plenty for the whole of you ;" alluding to my son-in-law, James Banks, deceased, and myself. The prisoner made use of very abusive language, and challenged any one of us to fight. After this he put on his (oat and came on the pathway, making use of very abusive language, too bad to mention ; he jostled against the deceased. My son said, "Father, I cannot bear this any longer ;" he threw off his coat hastily ; I could not keep him back ; they closed in upon one another. This occupied about two or three minutes; the assassin ran from him. My son said, he had a s harp stone, and has been striking me with it about by abdomen and shoulder. I immediately ran and seized the prisoner by the hand, and it was covered with blood. The prisoner let some thing fall from his hand.. My son walked a pace or two, staggered, and fell against the- edge of the cause way. I then pet my hand on my child's shoulder and found the blood oozing from it. I said to the pri soner, - r• You villain, you have stabbed by son." The pri soner replied, " Prove it if you can." The prisoner was taken in charge. I then took up the deceased with the assistance of another person. When I got into the light I per ceived my son had several wounds. I did not hear him speak afterwards. He lived about three hours and a half after being stabbed. In the struggle there was sufficient light to distinguish persons. There had been some grudge between the prisoner and deceased, in consequence of the prisoner stealing a dog from him. I made the deceased a present of the dog; through the prisoner's mother interceding we did ' not prose cute him. The prisoner alluded to this affair when 1 demanded an explanation about his rubbing against my daughter in the drang. I said, " You should not rub your self against any of my children." The prisoner replied— ., What, do you mean to say I robbed you?" I said rub. The prisoner said, " I suppose you mean about the dog, I will settle that with the whole of you." I never struck the pri soner, so help me God. Other witnesses were examined, who corroborated the evi dence given by the father of deceased. James Bussel—l am gaoler. Between eight and nin e o ' clock on Wednesday evening the prisoner was given into my cus tody by Bond, the constable of this town. I observed his hands were covered with blood, with a deep gash on the forefinger of the left hand. I cautioned him repeatedly to be careful what he said ; it was a serious charge against him. He said, " I found MacCarthey was too strong for me, and I took out my knife and cut at him. I locked him up that night ; and next morning, about eight o'clock, I told him that MacCar they was dead, and asked him if he persisted in the same de claration repeated last night. Ho repeated the same, verbatim, with this addition, that he cut his finger in closing the knife, The jury, after hearing the evidence read by the Coroner, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against the prisoner , William Hayward. Ho was committed to gaol to take his trial at the next Taunton Assizes. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA Y, JANUARY 21, is THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OP STORE UMBER. This was an appeal against an order of gessTunsferthe re moval of a woman and her five children. The question in this case was whether an order of Sessions for the removal of a wife and children from the pirish where the husband was confined in gaol in execution for debt could be a legal order. In support of the order it was contended that there was no consortium between husband and wife ; but on the hart of the respondents it was urged that the order was ili g;tl, inasmuch as it tended to the separation of man and mile, and did not remove the husband also. The Court as of opinion that the order W.* bed. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, JAN. 19. THE QUEEN V. ROGERS In this case ,the defendant was a prisoner, who had been con►icted under certain of the Mint Acts up( n the charge of having in his possession three pieces of counterfeit coin with a fraudulent intent. By the Acts of Parliament under which this conviction took place, it was made an offence to issue counterfeit coin, and another to have possession of three or more pieces ; and there was an interpretation clause, which explained that personal possession of the counterfoil coin was not necessary, but that the Act included the possession of it in any house ; outhouse, &c., but not including the possession of it by another person. In the present case it appeared that when the prisoner was apprehended, there were found on his person only two pieces of counterfeit coin, but he had with him a companion, on whose person were found fourteen pieces; and the question, therefore, which was presented for the consideration of the Court was, whether the possession by the one was possession by the other within the meaning cf the Act.—Judgment deferred. THE QUEEN V. HANNEN. In this case the prisoner was convicted at the last sittings of the Central Criminal Court of having in his possession a plate resembling that for engraving the promissory notes of the Canadian Bank at Toronto ; and the question here was whe ther the section of the Act under, which the conviction took place, for the punishment of forgery in certain cases. referred to promissory notes payable anywhere, or only to such as were payable in England. - Mr. PRENDF:ROAST, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that this indictment was bad, and referred to various sections of the Act to show, that when the Legislature. intended to in clude instruments, made out of England, they had expressly declared such an intention. Mr. BODKIN, for the Crown, argued that the interpretation clause in the Act referred entirely to other clauses, and that the one under which this conviction took place stood alone, was general in its terms, and meant to include foreign as well as English instruments.—Judgment deferred. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JAN. 19. COMPULSORY CLAUSE-:IMPORTANT DECISION-IN RE JEREMIAH BOARD. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, at the rising of the Court, gave judgment in this case, which involved an im portant question under the compulsory dense of the new Act. The prisoner had been confined in the Fleet Prison upwards of twenty years, and some time since a vesting order was ob tained under the recent Act of Perliament, on the petition of a gentleman named Richardson, who was the detaining cre ditor. Board was called upon to file a schedule and make a disclosure of his property, he had not obeyed the order of the Court, and the provisional assignee, on receiving an indemnity, authorised an officer to make search for property on Board and in the prison. The result was that considerable pro perty had been secured. An application was subsequently made to commit the prisoner to Newgate for a disobedience to the order calling upon him to file his schedule. The ap plication was made under the 36th, or compulsory clause, and also under the 66th section of the same statute. The rule was opposed, on the ground that the Court were not in a si tuation to grant the prayer of commitment from the Fleet Pri son to Newgate. The Leai:Ued COMMISSIONER said, this was the first case under the compulsory clause in which the question had been raised. It Lad been contended, in showing cause against the application, that the words " other persons" in the 66th sectien were not applicable to the present case, that those words which spoke of the commitment for contempt had re ference to persons connected with assignees, and not to per. sons in the position of the prisoner. The Court %sere by no means of opinion that the words had such a restriction. They did not feel called upon to express their views on the clause, but merely in regard to the application made in the matter now before them. The prisoner was in the custody of the Warden of the Fleet, and the question for their deci sion was, whether they could remove the person in contempt from his custody to that of the keeper of Nevsgate ? With respect to this ease, the Court thought that the Warden would be in a situation legally to resist the removal of the man out of his custody, and on that ground the rule yonld be discharged. Mr. COOKE applied for the assigneeship for the creditor who had obtained the vesting order. The Court having de cided against the removal, the next step was to make the clause as efficacious as possible. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER remarked that property obtained under the compulsory clause was to be divided among all the creditors, and not for the exclusive benefit of the per son who had procured the order. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN mentioned the circumstances of an application made to him in this case, to send an officer to the prison. The provisional assignee had acted on his own authority, as specified by the Act. Mr. (2ooKEsaid 1,0001. of property hzd been discovered in the prison, belonging to Board, and seized for the creditors. About 3001. had been taken from the prisoner's shoes. It further appeared that Mr. Richardson, the petitioning party, was a creditor for 8,0001. Mr. COOKE remarked that, defective as the compulsory clause was, it had operated in a beneficial manner. The COURT made the appointment. The judgment pronounced in this case will decide several others. POLICE ;NTELLMENcE. BOIV-STREET. On Wednesday 'a decent-looking v emu], named Croker, stated that she was a widow, living in Ship-yard, Temple. bar, and that she felt much aggrieved by the parish officers of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields having sent off her daughter to the Cape of Good Hope without the consent of the complaina n t. According to th e f acts as t h e y appeared in evidence, the wo man's address was unknown to the parochial officers. She had lived as servant i n a b rot h e l , w hich was shut up wh en t h e letter was sent t o h er respect i ng the emigration of her daugh ter, under the auspices of the Children's Friend Society. Her a pplicant had bee n i n t h e add i‘ r i e r. ss L w e . as Breton h a e t the workhouse. workhouse no less than seven times in the course of her life, and the parish had expended 591. 16s. on the support of this girl. After the account which the mother had given of her self—of her having lived as a servant in several brothels, he thought there c ou ld b e li ttle doubt that t h e course w hi ch had been adopted w as t h at which was most likely to put the girl into a good scho o l f ur h er future guidance i n lif e . Mr. TWYFOR D sa id that the only question was, whether, on the part of the parish, due and proper means bed been taken to give the mother notice of the intended mode of disposing of the child. A long and desultory conversation took place, in the course of which it was suggested that the mother :should go out and join her daughter, and s h e was informed that any communica tion she might wish to make to her child would be forwarded without expanse. She, however, res isted all the efforts made to afford her consolatio n , and repeatedly demanded the resto ration of her daughter. The parties then retired. W OR SI/2P_STREE T.

THE LATE DUCHESS ALEXANDER OF - WURTEMBERO. (From a notice by M. Alphonse Karr, published in the Presse.) Besides the Jeanne d'Arc at Versailles, the Princess has left behind her a Bayard Dying, and also another Jeanne d'Arc, which for its poetical idea is better even than the former. Jeanne d'Arc is represented on horseback ; she bas just cut down a man for the first time with her axe, and he has fallen to the dust amidst streams of blood. Jeanne is evi dently divided between feelings opposed to each other, but equally true, and which are admirably expressed in her atti tude and her countenance. This man is an English soldier, an enemy of France; she sees that her white arm and slender fingers can lift the axe like those of scar-covered warriors, and can cleave the helms and heads of the enemy. She t.ees that Heaven has not deceived her, that she shall save France, that Charles shall be crowned at Rheims, and a noble pride is legible in her looks; but at the same time, the sight of blood and death astonishes and troubles her, and she recollects what nature has made her at the proud moment when she has just become what Heaven intended her to be. At Fontaine bleau the Princess has bad executed from her designs the stained glass windows of the chapel of St. Saturnine. They represent a St. Amelia, the patron Saint of her mother, and arc highly esteemed for the noble spirit that characterizes all her drawings. The church at Eu also possesses several paintings on glass designed by her Royal Highness. Before her marriage, the Princess had arranged her apartments at the Tuileries with_exquisite taste in the style of the Renais sance; here she lived, tenderly beloved by her family ; whom she used to charm by her gay and piquant turn of mind, and occupying herself with the arts which she loved. In Germany the Princess was admirably received ; she•had been preceded by her reputation, and, whenever she appeared in the theatres, the spectators rose to greet her viith warm acclamations. The conflagration that destroyed pert of the palace at Gotha will he remembered, and in which her Royal Highness, in a far advanced state of pregnancy, was obliged to traverse a court covered with ice in very light attire. From this moment the malady that has at length carried her off dated its origin. The physicians recommended her to breathe the air of a warm cli mate, and she set out for Italy, always regretting Germany, and a country-seat belonging to her husband, called Fantasic, with which she had been much pleased, and of which she spoke in some of her last moments. The Princess had first been offered a charming residence five leagues from Genoa, but the winds that prevailed there, and which were bad for her health, forced her to leave it and go to Pisa. A gleam of hope en sued, but the complaint soon returned with increased effect, and the Queen sent the Duke de Nemours to comfort the in valid. The whole of the Court of Tuscany went to Pisa, in the hope of rendering her abode there more agreeable, but she was too unwell to avail herself of their preserve. The Princess soon became sensible of her hopeless state, and resigned her self to the consolations of religion, performing all its ,duties with the meat effecting piety. A few days before she expired, having been kept awake during the night by pain, she called for light, and drew for several haws. These were the last feelings of the artist, reminding us of the " Last Thought" of Weber, and the verses of Gilbert— " Au banquet de la vie infortunc convive," &c. --exquisite music and beautiful verses expressing the same re gret, and, by a singular coincidence, perfectly harmonizing with each other. On Sunday last the Royal Family break fasted together, but the meal was a cheerless one ; all hearts were sad, exposed as they were to double anxiety for the Princess Marie, of whom no news could be received in less than six days, for the Prince de Joinville, who visa with the squadron of San Juan d'Uloa. Suddenly the King was ie..- formed that the Minister of the Marine was come in great haste to the palace, and requested a private audience. His Majesty went out, the Queen turned pale at this apparent mystery, which made her apprehend some new misfortune. The King, however, soon returned with the dispatches in his hand, and, embracing the Queen, said " Ulloa is taken, anti Joinville is safe and well." A few minutes more only had elapsed when a letter was brought to the Duke of Orleans from his brother at Pisa. The whole family rose, and formed a group around the Prince Royal to hear the contents of the letter. It did not positively announce the death of the Duchess of Wurtemberg, but stated it to be inevitable and near at hand. The Queen fell on her knees, exclaiming " Oh, my God! I have a daughter less, but thou bast an angel the more 1" Her Majesty was unable to rise, and was carried to her chamber. LINES ON THE DEATH OF THE DUCHESS ALEXANDER OF WURTEMBERG ET MRS. GORE. Not that her high. born sires enshrouded lie, With regal circlets on their marble brows ;* Not that her race derives its majesty From the sole King disloyal France avows ;t Not that, environed by a courtier train, Her girlhood grew amid the great and bravo; Blend we this tribute with the mournful strain, Breathing its requiem o'er her early grave.

Paris, Jan., 1839. * The Counts of Artois, at Eu. f Henri IV. Versailles, in the gallery of whlth is placed the statue o. Jeanne d'Arc, by the deceased Princess; one of the finest spe. cimens of modern sculpture. An inquest was held on Thursday on the remains of Lieutenant Moses John Willets, aged 65 years, who died under somewhat suspicious circumstances. It seemed that the deceased, who was most respectably connected, had for many years past been a resident in the Tower, where he held an official appointment, and it was the opinion of his friends that he lived there up to the day of his death, as they regularly sent him his letters there. About twelve months ago he went to live.with Mrs. Thomas, a widow, nearly his own age, in Arms-court, and cohabited with her up to his death. Considerable suspicion was thrown over his death, owing to the fact of Mrs. Thomas never acquaint ing his friends of his illness or death, or calling in a medi cal man till it was too late ; and also a will being made on the day before his death, bequeathing to her (Mrs. Thomas) property to a considerable amount. After a lengthened investigation, during which nothing was elicited to attach guilt to any parties, the jury returned a verdict of Natural Death. iin"T;esTiaYnt; in q uest was held at the Rose and An 'ehor, Hereford -street, Lisson-grove, on the body of Ben jamin Donagnn, aged 43. Henry Beasely, a carpenter, deposed that deceased was likewise of the same trade, and that they worked together in the erection of a tennis -court on Lord's Cricket-grounds, St. John's-wood. On Monday week deceased, witness, and other men were repairin g some braces to support thirty storey-posts, which had been blown down by the storm on .the previous evening. The deceased was on a ladder raised against a storey-post, and in the act of fixing a brace, when a sudden and violent gust of wind shook the brace, before it was fastened, out of its place, and the brace striking the ladde r , th rew b ot h i t and deceased down. Deceased must have fallen from an elevation of at least thirty feet. Mr. Thomas Dicksey, foreman of the works, said he came instantly to the assist ance of deceased, whom he found with his head forced into the earth, and his legs bent under him. He never spoke afterwards, and witness considered the fatal affair purely accidental, and caused by the high wind that prevailed on the day of the occurrence. The Argeon of Marylebone Infirmary said deceased died in that institution on Friday night last, from concussion of the brain. Besides the injury to the head, deceased had five ribs broken. Verdict— " Accidental death." Leamington, in common with the rest of the coun try, has felt the effects of the violent hurricane which oc curred on Sunday night, though it has escaped with much less injury than, during the progress of the storm, could possibly have been expected. A pinnacle was blown down from the parish church, a garden wail in Learn Terrace, and another near the Priory have been blown down, and a villa in Learn Terrace has been nearly unroofed. Some trees have been uprooted, we understand, in the upper town, and trifling injuries done to buildings, but we are happy to state that no accident of a serious nature has oc curred.—Warwick Advertiser. On Wednesday morning several of the northern and western mails did not arrive at the General Post-Office for nearly two hours beyond their usual time, having been de layed on the road on account of the immense quantity of snow that had fallen during the night. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Hercury). TRADE OF LEEDS.—The quantity of woollen golds sold at the Cloth.halls this week has again been below an average of the quantity sold weekly during the last three months; yet from the state of the weather and from the shortness of day light for burling, drying, &c., the supply brought to market during the last fortnight has been but small ; and notwith standing there being less sold, the stocks continue very low, and prices without any alteration. A few of the London buyers have been in the market during the week, but their transac tions have been but small ; on the whole bnsineas is dull is the warelicires. BARNSLRY TRADE.—Puring the last week larger quantities of yarn have been bought by thsmanufactu'ers than have been bought in one week for a long time. COTTON TRADE, MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY NOON.—Althoug h speculation appears for the last day or two to be at stand in the Liverpool market, there is I,evertheiess so much uncertainty in the minds of spinners to the upshot of the ex tensive operations of the last few weeks, that nothing like sta bility in the value of either goods or yarns can for the moment be established. The business done in grey cloths and yarns since Tuesday has been on the most limited scale ; and there can be no doubt that where a heavy buyer has appeared, the most needy manufacturers have given way in price from the nominal rates of Tuesday. There is not, however, any fair cause of complaint of the business doing i° finished goods. TUE SILK Taana.—:Considering the season of the year , there is a fair average business doing this week, and some houses have sold largely of plain sarsnets. The great slack" ness in the raw article now for a long time past, has during the winter time operated frivourably for all parties concerned in the trade ; operations not having been in any way curtailed by similar uncertainties with those attending the cotton trade. There is no prospect of any advance on wages, and on the,„ contrarynothing is apprehended on the part of the weavers 0 1 any further decline. •LEICESTER —The home demand continues steady, though not brisk. The shaAsl and fancy trade is very dull, but gloves are selling freely. Worsted is without alteration in price, and the wool market is quieter. —Leicester Chronicle. HALlFAX.—Saturday's market was a Male more lively than last week's. More buyers attended, and more goods were sold. THE MARKETS. COUNTRY CORN MARKETS DURING LAST Wk.Ers• WheAt. I Barley. Jate. Beans.
