• • . Pubiic credit is maintained. " With respect to the budget, a law will be drawn up for regulating other financial concerns connected respecting which the contributions from the Coloni es , which communications will be made to you, that give a favourable result, as well for the present as the future. " The regulations of the transcription of that part of I the public debt, which, according to the treaty of Lon don, is to be charged upon Belgium, has not m a d e so much progress as I could have wished. The new legislation has been introduced everywhere with the best success, and without any impediment to the course of justice. Its effects during the last year have had the most favourable results. " The first book of the penal code, will be laid before you. 'this important work may be prosecuted with zeal, as soon as the result of the delberations on the first book shall he known. The important affaiis which will require our joint consid e r a tio n , will again afford yo u ample Opportunity to give pro o f s of the wisdom and patriotism which, I reflect on it with pleasure, have distinguished this Assembly, even in the most critical ctrcn)mstsr.ces. " The fidelity of the nation, distinguished by love of its Princes, and a tt ac h ment to its institutions, will sup port our united exertions for the consolidation of it happiness. And if we combine with this a respectful confidence in the blessings of the Almighty, the kins dom of the Netherlands will be strengthened ; and though reduced to narrower limits, still retain an honourable place in the rank of the nations of Europe," After delivering this speech, his MAJESTY left the Hall, and the Assembly broke ti.p. We are glad to see the Tory Journals driven to defend their faction. The Times erewhile said the Tories were like a duck-legged drummer, always in the rear of the regiment. Yesterday it described them as having" for years back adapted their legis lation to the wants of society." " Gagging Acts, Test and Corporation Acts, Popish Disability Acts," said our Contemporary, " with others of the same clas , , have been repealed by them without remorse. The Reform Bill itself, though far from con vinced of its expediency, was at length concurred in by them in deference to the expressed wishes of the nation : while in matters of ecclesiastical and educational policy, we find that the regulation and reduction of pluralities, the arrangement of tithe-commutations, the bestowal of money upon Dissenting schools, and even the abolition/of Church-rates, have all, in their turn, been either carried or proposed by your venal Tory statesmen." Poor Tories I what a wretched condition they must be in ! How low must they be sunk in the opinion of their own crack writer when he can find nothing to praise in their policy but their defeats ! They passed the Gagging Acts, and would have renewed them had they dared. The Test and Corporation Acts, to which they pertinaciously clung, were abolished, in fact, by a vote of the House of Commons in spite of all the il - sauence of the Church and of the Tories in possession of the Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL explained, when, as a matter of expediency, in direct opposition to the fixed principles of the Tories, he introduced the Catholic Relief Bill in 1829, that the majority of the enlightened and ruling portion of society, as well as the majority of the Representatives of our counties and most populous towns, were in favour of such a measure of relief, and that the Govern ment could not be carried on in peace unless it were passed. Expediency PEEL gave up his principles, gave up the representation of Oxford, and opposed the Tories, to repeal the Popish Disabilities Act. He adopted, for the moment, the Whig policy, in order to steal a triumph from the Whigs, and ap propriate to himself and his friends the honours and rewards which were justly due to them. His cun ning kept him in office only a twelvemonth. The Emancipation Act of 1829 was a victory for the Whigs ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL had only the disgrace of extorting a ratifi cation of it from his own friends. That he submitted to this disgrace, and did not allow his personal feelings, his regard to consistency, his Tory principles, to prevent him from adopting the Whig policy, was of pre-eminent advantage to the country. Had the French Revolution of 1830 overtaken England while the penal laws against the Catholics were in full force, no power could have saved Ireland from a rebellion and England from a revolution. By Sir ROBERT PEEL defeating the Tories and adopting the Whig policy, lie conferred a benefit on his country, though he branded the Tories with disgrace. He now makes the Reform Act his own, though he opposed it to the utmost of his power. He is contented with a law which has turned out a mise rable abortion and grievously disappointed the hopes of the nation, and the more contented with it as the failure is great. The utmost wisdom of the Tories consists in adopting the errors of the Whigs. On Church•rates, Dissenting Schools, Tithe Com mutation, they have only accepted the Whig Acts, and neither in office nor in opposition profess to ad here to the principles which they advocated as long as possible on these subjects to promote their factious ends. As toecclesiastical and educational policy, the Tories support our exclusive sectarian and mis chievous Church. Considered as a political con trivance, the condition of the population proves the Church of England to be a miserable failure ; while, being a mere Act of Parliament and not a Gospel Church, it cannot be defended on any principles of religion. That Church, however, the Tories now defend, and are ready to involve the country in confusion and bloodshed for an institu tion which is the opprobrium both of politics and religion. We cannot deny that there is some chivalry in the conduct of the Tories. They never heartily undertake the defence of a cause till it is weak, tot tering, and sure to fall. Their zeal, such is their corrupt nature, always increases in proportion as a cause is rotten. No efforts could induce them to abate one jot of their love for the boroughs of sche dule A. On the very eve of Parliamentary Reform they declared the old system perfect. They slum bered at their posts, as defenders of the Church, through the whole reign of GEORGE 111. ; but now that the defects of that institution are known, now, when millions declare it to be a nuisance and a curse, the Tories peril their name and reputation on upholding it. Just so they acted in 1828 and 1829, and never were more zealous in behalf of the Test Acts and the Catholic Penal Laws than just before they were obliged to concede the abolition of both. From their defeat on these points we augur their similar defeat on the Church arid Educational policy ; and ere a few years elapse they will be compelled to go further than the Whigs propose to go at present. Nor is the duck-legged drummer policy of the Tories anything inexplicable. It is the inevitable consequence of the false theory they have adopted as to society. They place no confidence in human nature. Living man ti.ley treat with contempt. They trust to old parchments—to the rules laid down by ignorant barbarians, to customs founded in conquest or fraud, to laws which were dictated by the sword, to anything rather than to the living generation. Of every political oppression, exist wherever it may—of every political fraud, however long it may have been denounced, the Tories are necessarily the advocates. All that is, they defend-- all that man hopes for, and aspires to, they deny. It is from being thoroughly convinced that they are now bolstering up, at in past times, a rotten cause, that we rejoice to see them compelled to defend their own character and acts, instead of being left at liberty to throw their poisoned shafts at more en lightened statesmen. The Standard proves rather too much in the following paragraph : " As to the Executive, it has been for five years entirely Popish, to the extent of its power ; the reign of law has been dissolved in Ireland in favour of Popery, and would be dissolved in England and Scot land, but that Popery could gain nothing by anarchy in Great Britain." The reign of law dissolved in Ireland for five years may make the English also desire to see its dissolution. During these five years the troops have been gradually withdrawn from Ireland, an d the country never was more tranquil or prosperous. In the same period the army has been increased, and one of the reasons for increasing it was the disturbed state of England. The paragraph of the Standard, therefore, proves that to put an end to the reign of the law promotes tranquillity, and that the anarchy introduced by Popery is the happiness of nations. Well done zealous Standard ! A more emphatic recommendation of Popery and anarchy, founded on facts, has not frequently been laid before the public. The worthy Editor must surely be a Jesuit, not in disguise, and bound to serve the cause of O'CONNELL and the PoPE. . This day is published, price 2s. 6d. AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF THE BALLOT.

We have received this tr,orning, by the Batavier steamer, Dutch Papers, Which state that his Ma jesty King WILLIAM in person opened on Mon day, at the Hague, the ordinary Session of the States General. The following is a copy of the Royal Speech on this occasion : " HIGH AND MIGHTY LORDS, " On openiug your present Session, I am able again to-assure yoo that my relations with Foreign powers continue to be distinguished by reciprocal feelings of friendship and good-will. " The treaty of Commerce and Navigation with the United States of America, and the treaty of Com merce with the German Commercial league,concluded by me at, the beginning of the year, afford new guarantees for the extension awl the prosperity of the commerce of the Netherlands. Every exertion is made on my part to insure and to hasten the entire execution of the treaty with Belgium. The representations which I have mule to the German Confederation, respecting a terri torial indemnity for the ceded portion of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, are already accepted. My Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, will acquaint you with the manner in which this affair has been regulated. Thus the time is come to proceed to the modification of the fundamental law, which have become necessary in consequence of the separation of the Netherlands and Bel gium. A proposal to this effect will be laid before you. " In consequence of the treaty with Belgium, mea sures have been taken to reduce the military force, as far as possible, to the peace establishment. " To this end the corps of velunteers and the other volunteers in the army and nay y, have been thanked for their services. " The moveable corps of militia have been dis banded ; the army in, the field broken up ; and the militia men who h ave served five years have been discharged. The, men of the levy of 1835 will be dis charged next sp (leg. A great portion of the militiamen of later levies have obtained the usual furloughs. " Thus the time is at hand when the militia will be in its u Anil state, and it will not be necessary to pro%i,:te for the next levy by a particular law. I cannot speak of these measures without expressing to you the feelings of satisfaction and gratitude which a - aimate me, when I reflect on the honourable manner in which the military force of the Netherlands has performed its duties in these last years, which have given tr striking and salutary example of fidelity and patriotism. The internal administration answers its object. " 1 ' Corn and other agricultural productions have been in, general less abundant than usual, but are purchased of the farmers at higher prices. Trade and navigation flourish ; the manufactories and useful enterprises con -3 beet^~l with them have been extremely active. Public instruction has been carefully' attended to ; ['desirable improvements have not been loss sight of. In the arts and sciences there has been progressive im peoron4v7„.._.. en , The continuation of the land and water aunie.ations proceeds regularly. The draining of the , 4 'edPlas van Schiellanns ma be said to be corn pieten as to the carrying off of the y water. The opera tions for draining the lake of Haarlem will shortly commence. The prosperity of our East Indian possessions is constantly increasin g . " My attention is steadily directed to the affairs of our West India Colonies. The ordinary expenditure of the State has been covered by the receipts. " The regular receipt o f t h e revenue is guaranteed by the general prosperity. The Times makes a most mortifying confession this morning for such an arrogant, would-be-infal lible journal. For six months, at least, scarcely a day has passed on which it has not had a thunder ing article against the Government of Ireland. It has never ceased to assail in that period Lord NOR MANBY, Lord MORPETH, Mi:DRUMNIOND, and Nearly the whole of the French Journals of Monday declaim against the suggestion of the Journal des Debats, that the French Government ought to grant passports to Don CARLOS with permission to retire either to Austria or to Italy. This looks well, as it manifests the earnestness with which the majority of the Paris papers desire to witness the tranquillization of the Peninsula. " The least portion of good sense, and the most common notions of politics," says the Constitu tionnel, "are sufficient to show the impropriety o f setting Don CARLOS at liberty. The late events in Spain have weakened the passions which the selfish apathy of our statesmen had encouraged ; but these passions would revive with more vigour than ever, if, with a want of foresight, which we cannot find words to describe, we were again to renew the scourge of civil war. We believe sincerely that there are no Ministers who would take upon themselves so grave a responsi bility ; and, whatever may be the grief of certain eminently monarchical minds at seeing a family of Royal blood retained as prisoners on the soil of France, no person, even in the present Ca binet, would dare to sacrifice to these considera tions, the repose and future prospects of a people allied with us, and who are worthy of the liberty which they have acquired." We rather hope than actually believe that the Constitutionn e l does not understand the temerity of some Members of the French Cabinet. The journal dc Paris, lately a Ministerial organ, and still supposed to be a vehicle of the views of influential persons about the Court, entirely agrees in opinion with the journal we have quoted. " We persist in thinking," argues the Journal de Paris, " that Don. CARLOS ought to be retained in France-Ist, until Spain shall be pacified; that is to say, so long; .as CABRERA shall not have laid down his arms, arid the provinces shall not have obtained satisfaction by the definitive set tlement of the question of the fueros ; 2dly, so long as the revival of civil - war shall not have been rendered impossible by a solemn declaration of Don CARLOS, reCognizin4 the •will of FERDINAND, the royalty of ISABELLA, and the Constitution of 1837, with the sole reservation of the re-establish. merit of the Salique law for she future, and the rights of the descendants of Dort. CARLOS to the Crown in the event of the decease of the young QUEEN and her sister without male heirs." The liberal, but moderate, Courrier Franceds takes precisely the same view of this question. " Wh en D on C ARLOS was reduced to seek a refuge upon tb e French ter ritory," observes this Journal, " the Ministry which placed him at Bourges concluded thatit had a right e , idence, an d did not .think that it to designate this r all connected with them in the Administration of 1 that country. To-day, however, after such long and stupendous labours—after *e.stittg tnote words than would have stifficed, if properly applied, to 1 writ a history of Ireland, and gain immortality for its author—to-day the crack Vvtitet bt the Times—the great accuser of the Govern ment—the Attorney-General of the Tories, says, ‘‘ It is possible that by this time the simple folks who have heretofore been unable to understand what the charge against the Irish Govern ment really is, may be beginning to get a glimpse of its actual character." Poor, disappointed, in efficient scribbler. What ! your simple readers only now begin, " may be," to understand, what you have been writing about day after day for six months What dolts they must be, unless you have been all this time trying to mislead them, and now, finding that you have failed, you turn round and try to persuade them that they have never understood you. We can inform the readers of the Times, that the last is the case ; that for six months the Times has been accusing the Mi nisters of abetting the crimes of Ribandism, by pardons, by silence, by refusing to notice the accu sations brought against the Ribandmen, by not at tending to the ridiculous and exaggerated tales of witnesses without names, brought forward by Mr. ROW N. But to-day, the Times goes from all these charges ; says that, " the:existence of Ribandism is a vexatious embarrassment to the Ministers ;" and limits its charge to " having committed the fraud of denying the facts, and of lulling Parliament into a false security," that is, in fact, to abet Ribandism ; so that the veracious Times cannot stick to the same charge, in the same column, on the same day, and then pretends to wonder, that its simple-minded dolts of readers do not yet understand the various and contradictory charges it makes from day to day. If, after its mortifying confession of this morning, veil ing an announcement that it has endeavoured to mislead them, there be found one of them who shall continue to place the least reliance on its political charges, he will be a proper dupe for any impudent quack to impose on. Our Contemporary is fre quently indignant with the Papists for the blind confidence which they place in their priests. His language this morning, ought to convince many persons, that there are priests in politics, as well as in religion, who demand a blinder faith in their followers than is even required by Popish priests. Our Contemporary, like the POPE, claims to be infallible ; but urges his claim mare conti nually and far more arrogantly, and exacts a more dutiful belief in his varying doctrines, than the pre sent humbled occupant of ST. PETER'S Chair. We cordially concur in the remark of a Corres pondent that " in the majority of cases when e inquests are held on suicides, they do no manner of good, and they often do harm." Nay, we are inclined to go farther, and assert that the frequency of these inquests, and the publicity given to then. by the Press, have led to ten times more violent deaths than all the homicides and murders together which they may have been the means of bringing to light. Man is the most imitative of all animals, whether for good or evil. What one does, how ever atrocious the deed, or however painful to him. self, others are inclined to imitate, and the frequent repetition of the crime strips it proportionally of its terrors. It was the practice at one time to hang up together at the Old Bailey fifteen or twenty fellow-creatures for forgeries or some other offences now not capital. Did these awful examples check crime. One would suppose they rather en couraged it, for since the mitigation of the law several of the offences formerly capital have de creased. An execution is looked upon with infi nitely more horror by the rising generation than it was by their fathers, and consequently. has a greater effect now in checking capital offences. The same rule applies to suicides, and instead of blazoning these before the multitude, by entering into need less details, and making frivolous inquiries to sa tisfy vain curiosity, it ought to be the duty of the Coroner to check investigation at once, when, as is the case in nine cases out of ten, there is no pos sible doubt of the cause of death. We have not seen any returns of the number Of suicides in Scot land, but,, judging from analogy, we should infer that they are not half so frequent there as in Eng. land, solely because the 'particulars elicited during the. investigation, and generally the fact itself, are concealed from the public eye. The Madrid Journals received this morning are of the 14th inst. They contain no political news of any interest. The Cabinet still staggers on, now threatening a dissolution of the Chambers, and the next moment a dissolution of itself. We find dread ful accounts in the Journals of atrocities committed by CABRERA. One paper states that he horribly mutilated a Christino General who sought an inter view with him in order to persuade him to surrender. The sufferings of the wretches retained by him ac hostages are incredible. could safely allow him entire liberty. If the INTi iliSIE•y Were how to deliver to bon CARLOs the passports which the Court claim for him, it wotild, by that very aet, pronounce its Own condemnation as td the edurse Which it has adopted in sendingliifti Id oiirges - . To grant what ig would be to make a mockery of Spain, quarrel with England, and give the lie to the policy of the French Cabinet ; and, for all this, `that Is tittered In exchange ? The praises of the Debats." The Temps is still more severe upon the Cabinet, and not without reason—if, as it asserts, the liberation of Don CARLOS is already resolved upon. " The fact is," asserts the Temps, " that the Court has come to a decision on this subject. Although CA Rims should call again upon Providence and CASRERA, and renew a war without glory or success, and which could only produce in its failure new extermination s , he is not to be kept as a hostage, and compelled to remain in the asylum where he has taken refuge. He is to be snatched from the law of nations, as the Duchesse DE BERRI and Louis BONAPAItTE were snatched from the laws of the country. It is always dan gerous,' they say at the Chateau, to set the example of keeping Kings prisoners.' They reject political considerations for sentiment ; they yield doubtlessly to motives of high propriety—to feel ings of relationship, and to sympathy for misfor tune-4o pity and generosity. Female sensibility, too, plays a great part in this question. These exiles, sadly seated in the Hotel Panette, and no longer able gaily to assist at the carnage, burnings, and murders, which they have authorised, provoked, and commanded, are pitied even to tears." How very differently must the French Court regard royal and plebeian ruffianism ? Were a French Republi can of the popular stamp to commit one twentieth part of the atrocities of the detestable monster CARLOS, his head would not be suffered to remain for twenty-four hours on his shoulders. The villain would have Kings and Queens gloating over descriptions of his execution. Let one of the people scratch but the panels of a Royal coach, and only the plea of insanity can serve to keep the guillotine out of requisition ; but let a Prince—a tyrant by prescription—steep himself to the lips in the blood of the people, and the rabble that subsist by the breath of Kings, will fall down and worship him, and if unsuccessful bathe the monster's feet in tears. A day is fast approaching when Courts must either cease to exist, or exhibit in their acts a very diffe rent scale of morality. The Earl and Countess of GRANVILLE arrived in Paris on Sunday afternoon. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is at present at Frankfort. The two sons of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, the Dukes of CADIZ and SEVILLE, are preparing to travel in the Americas. It is supposed that their Royal Highnesses are going with a view to ascer tain the chances of founding a new Spanish Mo narchy in one or other of the southern States, after the manner of Brazil. They expect to find able adherents among the clergy and the remains of the Spanish race. TURIN, OCT. 14.—The King and his son, the Duke of Savoy, arrived here on the 9th, on their return from Chamberi. The Infant Don Sebastian, on his way from France to Naples, has likewise arrived in this capital. The accounts from Spain have greatly depressed the spirit of the Absolutist party. One of the first effects of the triumph of the Queen's army has been the order given by our Government again to admit Spanish ships into the Sardinian ports. The English Government is negotiating a treaty of commerce with Sardinia, and it is said that this treaty will be shortly concluded. The Piedtnontese General, Giflanga, who was a Ge neral in the service of the Emperor, and who has lived ever since 1821 in a kind of banishment, at his country seat, has just been recalled to active service. It is r,ported that the Marquis de Brignolle, now Sardinian Ambassador in France, will succeed the Count de la Margucrita as Minister for Foreign . A.ffaws —Journal Des Debuts.._ _ This morning the arrival of Maroto at Paris is an nounced. A letter from Toulon of the 17th, says, " The Cer oere steam-boat has brought to-day the following news from Algeria : " After having visited the several points which we iccupy in the Province of Algiers, where he caused lands to be assigned to some colonists, whose applications had been unsuccessful, the Duke of Orleans set out on the Gth for Stora, where he arrived on the 7th, at Philippeville.

At a Lecture (the third of a course) on Astronomy, to the members, &c„ of the Mutual Instruction Society, in the Chapel of the Domestic Mission Society, Cripplegate, on Monday, the comparative sizes of the planets were illustrated in a plan per fectly novel. A large globe, six feet in diameter, and illuminated within, represented the Sun, while smaller balls, representing the Earth, Saturn, &c.. were suspended on fine wires the entire width of the room. Thus was the entire planetary system' exhi bited, so as to give a very correct idea cf their bulk, though not of their distances. And this is so far gratifying, as it is one among the many efforts now inaking to instruct the working classes_ Mr. Warren's large picture of " Joseph and his Brethren," much talked of when it was exhibited two seasons ago, was disposed of on Tuesday by allotment, and was gained by Mr. G. Godwin. The picture is noticeable as exhibiting the effect of polychromatic architecture on a large scale, a mode of decoration employed, as we know, both by the Egyptians and the Greeks. ESCAPE OF NELSON FROM EARLY AND IN GLORIOUS DEATH.-" Capt. Nelson, during this march, being one day excessively fatigued, ordered his hammock, on one of their halts, to be slung under some trees. During his sleep, that extraordinary animal called the monitory lizard, from its faculty of warning persons of the approach of any venomous animal, passed across his face ; which being observed by some of the attendant Indians, they shouted and woke him. He immediately started ti ,) N an,. throwing off the quilt, found one of the most venomous of the innumerable serpents in that country curled up at his feet. From this providential escape, the Indians who attended, entertained an idea that Nelson was a superior being, under an especial pro tection ; and this idea, which his wonderful abilities and unwearied exertions tended to confirm, was of essential service in gaining their confidence and prolonging their co-operation. On another occasion, during this arduous service, Captain Nelson and some of his men narrowly escaped being poisoned. They had inadvertently en deavoured to quench their excessive thirst by drinking at a spring into which some branches of the manchineel ap ple had been thrown—a subtle poison that is used by th e Indians for their arrows. Nelson suffered severely from its effects ; and it was the opinion of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, from whom this anecdote was re ceived, that the delicate health of his friend thus expe rienced a severe and lasting injury."—Fisher's Illus trated Life of Nelson.

SOUND ADVICE TO THE CHARTISTS.—In an anti-Corn-law lecture recently delivered at Dumfries, James Ayton, Esq., advocate, thus counselled the Char tists in reference to their opposition to the Corn-law agitation, and their dependence on that notorious charla tan, Fesrgus O'Conn or , w h ose h o ll owness and false hood on the Corn-law question we have repeatedly ex posed. " Some of you will be ready to exclaim," said Mr. Ayton, "' What ! join the middle classes—aban don our glorious position—give up our agitation for the Charter, for the sake of carrying the abolition of the Corn-laws ? Never!' Gentlemen, don't mistake me. lam not the man to recommend you to abandon your principles. On the contrary, I say, stand by them,—never cease from agitation till you hive ac quired your full rights. All I say is, do not injure your own cause by acting foolishly. Do not oppose what is good for you, simply because it is also desired by the middle classes. Do not give them a legitimate ex cuse for refusing to join you, by proving yourselves to be impracticable and absurd. But the late Convention toad you not to agitate for the abolition of the Corn laws, because that, forsooth, would distract your atten tion from the main question. No, gentlemen, that was a mere pretence. The Convention was ruled by O'Connor, wbo, when Member for the county of Cork, spoke and voted with his brother landlords and with the Tory and Whig aristocracy against the abolition of this tax. I therefore once more repeat that, in order to se cure their rights, the non-electors ought to keep on good terms with the electoral body."—Scotch paper. LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.—An editor of a newspaper in a rural district of some importance, ven tured to write an article on the Corn-laws, and to suggest the propriety of making some alteration in them, inasmuch as the present laws had been tried and found wanting. He had also the temerity to say, that he thought a small fixed duty would have the proba ble advantage of preventing the great fluctuations in the prices, so ruinous to the farming tenantry, &c. This heretical article produced a most extraordinary sensa tion, The landed proprietors met in consultation, and determined on summary punishment ; and after many abortive arguments it was at length decided that the editor should be informed, that unless he wrote an article praising the present Corn-laws and deprecating the doctrines advocated in his " alarming and wicked article" of the past week, they would not only cease to take his paper, but use their interest to deter their neighbours, and induce them to follow their advice and example. This was conclusive ; the poor scribe wrote another article, praising the starvation laws as the most profound monuments of human legislation, and thus he satisfied his many masters, who declared that if he had not given an antidote to neutralize the poison he had so injudiciously spurted out, that he would have lost five hundred subscribers. Such is the conduct of the Corn-law monopolists.—Manchester Times. A SAPIENT JURY. In a case in the Crown Court, on Thursday, at the present quarter sessions for the county of Gloucester, the jury found two prisoners " guilty of stealing without a felonious intention." The jury corrected excited in cour t was excessive, and the corrected the verdict by returning a general verdict of guilty.—Gloucester Paper. THE MARKE'n'.4.-===-Akil DA Y.) 1, CORN EXCHANGE.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—We have no change in our Cotton Market to-day. The sales, 2,500 bags to the trade. It is expected that the Liverpool steamer from New York will arrive in this port about the 3d November, and it is anticipated that the Managers of the United States Bank will have made every exertion to put their agent, Mr. Jaudon, in possession of funds sufficient to pay the bills at maturity, protested for non-acceptance, sent out by the Liverpool steamer. Yesterday was a blank day for intelligence, and this morning is of the same stamp, not any arrival of conse quence, added to the dullness of the weather, which has the effect to depress the various funds this morning, and damp all speculations to the present hour. It is stated that the Bank of France has ceased fer the present to purchase gold. This is an important event foe the Bank of England, who purchase con siderably of the precious article at the price of 775. 9d. Upon the whole it may be stated that the Foreign Exchanges were much the same as on Friday last, ra ther flat. At the end of the market Messrs. Roths child and Co. became sellers. THE FUNDS.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL, COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Robert Hedges, ar;ed 86, described in the Calendar as a labourer, was indicted with Woniously cutting tend_, wounding James Piper on the 10th April, 1838, wah 4-,tent to do him some grievous bodily berm Mr. PHILLIPS appeared for the prosecution, and, from the Learned Geritietnan's statements it appeared that the assault took place at a cock-fight at Hanworth thq last year ; but the prisoner was nut captured till very lately, Jacob Roberts, a constable of Hanwortb. stated, that in April last year, he and a brother constable named Piper went to Hanworth to prevent a cock-fight there, and upon that occasion the prisoner, who had a thick stick in his hand, beat Piper violently over the head and other parts of his body ; the other constables, who had been sent from the Society against Cruelty to Ani mals, were also beaten, but by other persons. Piper died of the wounds he received. Mr. CLARKSON who appeared for the prisoner, ad mitted the assault, but denied that it was done with the intents laid in the indictment. Toe Jury found the prisoner guilty of the assault only. Tne prisoner was again indicted for another assault upon Joseph Willey, another officer of the Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. The Jury in this case also, found the prisoner guilty of the assault only. There was another indictment against the prisoner for assaulting John Lord, but it was not pressed against him. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET sentenced him to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. Edward Murray was convicted of uttering a coun terfeit shilling to Martha Porter, and having at a former Session being found guilty of a similar crime, was sentenced by Mr. Baron MAULE to seven years' transportation. Richard Ricketts, a labourer, aged 23, was indicted with feloniously striking and wounding James Holdman, a policeman, on Saturday 11th inst., with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. James Holdman is a policecman ; on Saturday week was on duty in Bcrdmondsey-street, about one o'clock there were several persons quarrelling there, of whom the prisoner was one. His house was not above 20 yards from the placq where the disturbance took place. Wit ness told the prisoner he ought to have been at home, and alter some words, and scuffling he went there. Shortly afterwards he returned with a poker in his hand with which he struck the witness a most violent blow which wounded him severely, and caused the blood to flow profusely. Witness had not been able to attend his duties since. Francis Baker, also a policeman, stated that he went to the assist once of Holdman on the day in ques tion, and picked up the poker with which he had been assaulted. The surgeon of the M Division of Police, to which Holdman was attached, stated the wounds which he had received to have been of a most serious nature. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he had been violently assaulted by the policeman, but that be never struck him with a poker. That was done by another person, who was not in custody. In support of the prisoner's statement that he was struck by the policeman be called a female, who stated that she saw Ricketts knocked down by the police man, and that he did not attempt to strike him. , Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up. The Jury found the prisoner Guti:v. Mr. Baron GURNEY s?ntenced him to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) . . _ . John Appleby, aged 19, and Christopher Maile, aged 18, were convicted of stealing a shawl and one shirt, value 25., the property of Edward de Lima Woods. It appeared that Maile had been convicted of felony only a few months ago, and that that was his second conviction. The COMMON SERJEANT told hid] that as this was his third appearance the Court would cut short his pur suits for a few years. He was sentenced to transports don for seven years. The judgment of the Court upon Appleby was, that he be kept to hard labour for six calendar months, and that during the last week of each of the three las: months to be kept solitary. Prisoner—Oh, my Lord, pray don't let me be kept solitary. The COMMON SERGEANT—What, you know some thing about it do you ? We have found out a secret, and I am glad to find that that sort of punishment ope rates in a very salutary way. Prisoner—Pray, my Lord, don't. The COMMON SERGEANT—Depend upon it the sen tence will be enforced. John Larman, aged 17, was indicted for stealing fourteen knives, two compasses, one cigar case, and other articles, value 3/., the property of Levy Zachariah, his master ; and Ann Martin, aged 49, was indicted for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. Both prisoners were found guilty. The prosecutor stated that the lad bad up to a recent period borne a very excellent character, and he was afraid he had been urged to steal by the female prisoner. The Court sentenced Larman to hard labour for six months, but the woman would be transported for seven years. OFFICIOUSNESS OF A POLICEMAN.— :Vary Hays, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a ring, valut , . 10s., the property of her master. Mr. C. PHILLIPS appeared for the prisoner, whose defence was that she had picked it up in the bar and pledged it, as appeared in the duplicate, in her own name. The prosecutor gave the prisoner a very good character, and it appeared that he would not have pro secuted had he not been pressed by a police sergeant, named Wells. The COMMON SERGEANT said he did not approve of police officers putting themselves forward in prosecu tions. To be sure they had extra pay for coming there. Policeman—l could not. decide it. Mr. PHILLIPS—YOU decide!—(Laughter.) The COMMON SERGEANT—WeII, I think things are come to a pretty pass when policemen fancy they are to decide cases. The prisoner was found guilty and sentenced to three months' imprisonment, the last weeks of the two last months to be solitary. It appeared the police sergeant had also taken upon himself to give the pawnbroker leave of absence till eleven o'clock, and the Court told him he had better proceed against the policeman for his recognizances. MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY. George Conway, George Wanstall, and I m. Skates, who were remanded yesterday on suspicion of having stolen a quantity of rod iron from the premises of Messrs. Crawshaw and Co., were again brought up this morning. Several witnesses were examined in corroboration of the testimony previously adduced ; one of whom de posed that about the time the robbery took place he saw a truck loaded with iron pass over London-bridge. The prisoners were again remanded, and the police man who has them on charge was directed by the Lor , Mayor to trace the progress of the truck, by making inquiries of the officers who were on duty at the time. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) Mary Clarke was charged with having improperly annoyed a young man, named Richard Cooke. The complainant said that he was in the habit of frequenting Long-lane for his supper, and that the pri toner, and several other girls, constantly ill-used and aoused him. Last night, about ten o'clock, he was passing when the prisoner called him a d—d deceitful Mr. PAYNE—What did she mean by " deceitful'?" Cooke—l don't know. I was acquainted with her about eight months ago, and then did not see her for about twelve weeks, until she came to the warehouse and said she had a child by me—(Loud laughter)— and that it was dead, and she wanted money to bury it. I had seen no child, and refused to give her money, and ever since she has abused me. Mr. Payne—Have you been intimate with her? Cooke—l have been with her in houses, but she walked the streets at that time. The prisoner said that the complainant kept company with other girls, and set them to abuse her. Mr. Alderman LAINSON thought the character of the complainant was not free from suspicion, and that he prostituted himself as much as the girl did. He would discharge her on promising not to give any annoyance to the complainant in future. Ann Turner, who was remanded two or three days ago, on suspicion of stealing a shawl from the shop of Mr. Watson, Holborn-hill, was committed for two months. BOW-STREET:-(TH18 DAY.) Edward Staunton, described as a newsvender, 16, Pancras-street, Tottenhant.court-road, was charged with being stupidly drunk lust night, and i ncapa bl e of taking care of himself. Inspector Mullins said that the defendant had been taken at the door of a public-house in Drury-lane, and on arriving at the station-house it was ascertained that his pocket had been cut open, from which 4/. had been taken by two persons, in custody, with whom he had been drinking. Edward Newlan, and Frances, his wife, were then placed at the bar. The prosecutor being sworn, said he had been in another public house during the evening, but he dis tinctly r eco ll ecte d h av i ng 4/. in his pocket, when he joined the prisoners, with whom he smoked and drank so much as to make him very ill. Thomas Horsell proved, that being in the room, he Saw the prosecutor asleep, while the prisoners, who were sober, sat near to him, and the male prisoner took a knife from the table with which he cut the money from the pocket. He then kft the room, and on going out he invited the witness to accept of 55.. as he had got the " swag," meaning a sovereign, which he held in his hand ; but as he refused to have anything to do with it, the prisoner ran away. The female pri soner had previously left the room, on pretence of getting supper for her husband. The prisoner said he knew the prosecutor, who was very like his brother, and as he was subject to fits, he merely took the money for sale keeping, which he re turned on their being locked up in the same cell. Censtable 108 F, on goi .g into the cell, found the pocket, and 9s. lld, which the prosecutor got from the prisoner, a half-crown of which could be identified as having been cut from it. The prosecutor said he got a .5/. note from his sister to change, and the money which had been taken from him was part of the proceeds. Mr. HALL considered there was some mystery Low the prosecutor came by the note, and the male prisoner should be remanded until inquiries could be made about it, but the female might be discharged. Mr. Stokes, of the Swan public-house, in Arundel street, Strand, appeared upon the informations of the police inspectors, to show cause why he knowingly per mitted and suffered a number of disorderly persons to assemble in his house on the 9th instant. A second summons had been issued upon a similar complaint on the previous day, and as the defendant did not appear, a warrant was gr .nted for his apprehension. The defendant, on pleading not guilty, said he was not in town, or he would have appeared to answer the first complaint. Inspector Black stated that he had received inform.ition I that a sparring match was to taken place at the defend ant's house at half-past ten o'clock on the night in ques tion, but he was too late for the performance, and before he left he saw about thirty men and boys of the lowest description in front of the bar, one of whom was in the act of playing shove-halfpenny. The defendant declared he had not been at home for the last two months, and he could have no guilty knowledge of the circumstance. Sergeant Weston F proved that four of the boys had been convicted thieves, and a man who had been spar ring was in the act of washing him - ..elf, but the landlord was not present. Mr. JARDINE inquired if the witness was certain that some of the boys were thieves ?—The witness replied that he had one boy in custody on the Coronation day for stealing a watch, and he knew the others to have been summarily convicted. A solicitor, who is engaged in the superior Courts,, for the defendant, said he knew he had not been at, home for the last eight weeks, and his situation was such that he could not have had a guilty knowledge of, the circumstance. Inspector Black said, that in consequence of a com plaint which was made by the inhabitants, he bad called at the house, but the defendant could not be found. Mr. JARDINE considered that it would be necessary to show what had took place on the day in q uestion, in order to show that the defendant had a guilty kno ledge of what was going on. The defendant repeated that he could not know Or thing of the circumstances. gra nted Mr. JARDI NE sa id th a t the license bad been to him, and consequently he was the responsible p erson. to The defendant said that his wife was p r incipal l Y blame, but w h en h e was at h ome h e t oo k care to close his doors at proper hours. Mr. JARDINE— Can any person prove that the de fendant was absent from home. The Solicitor proved that on the day in question the defendant was 25 miles from home, upon business which demanded his presence. Mr. JARDINE considered that the police had acted very properly in bringing the matter forward for inquiry, but his notion of the Act was such that the defendant should have had a knowledge of the offence before conviction ought to take place, and therefore the sum mons, together with the warrant, should be dismissed. MARLBOROUGH-STREE T. (THIS DAY.) FEMALE DRUNKENNES3.—A matronly and respect able lookinc , middle-aged woman, was charged with being found drunk in the street, and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Lorio—What can you say for yourself? Defendant—d have a husband and family at home, pray let me go, and I will never be seen here again. A person in the Court stated that she was a married woman, !iving in a respectable way with her family. Mr. LoNo asked the policeman who took her in custody, if she had used a busive or indecent language. The policeman said she had used both. Mr. LONG — Then for the latter she must b e pu nished. I commit her to Bridewell for fourteen days. The defendant urgently entreated to be let gob bing Mr. Long was inexorable, and she was remo ved s to the locl-up cells. HATTON-GARDEN-(THIS DAY•) DREADFUL DESTITUTION—CONDUCT OF THEPARISLI AuntoeurtES.-- William James, a most deplorable looking object, who seemed in the last stage of desti tion, and whose whole attire consisted of a ragged coat and a tattered pair of trousers, was placed at the bar. Police constable Hill, 186 G, stated that last e vening he tOund the unfortunate prisoner sitting ou the steps of Clerkenwell workhouse, where he had remained some hours, having been denied admittance by the authorities. Witness knocked at the door, and requested admission for the unfortunate man, but was ref used ; this was shortly after ten o'clock. Mr. COMBE directed the man to be taken care of, and ordered the Overseer to DC sent for, in order to explain his conduct. THE LAW or HACKNEY CARRIAGES—A MAP FARE. —Thomas Fodder, who was attired as a mechanic , arid whose wild look and fl gbty manner seemed to be token insanity, was placed at the bar charged with re fusing to pay a cab fare, and with assaulting a police constable. Thomas Edwards, cab-driver, No. 819, stated that last night the prisoner got into his cab, and ordered him to drive him to Laystall-street ; he did so, and prisoner got out at a public-house, and then set off, running down the street, without paying his fare. Witnes ran after him, overtook him, and gave him in charge to a police constable. Mr. COMBE—You have no right to give a fare in charge for refusing to pay you, nor has a policeman any right to take him into custody. I thought that direc tions had been given to that effect. Policeman—l should not have taken the charge, but the man is known in the neighbourhood as being insane , and therefore I thought it best to secure him, your Worship. On my asking him why he refused to pnY his fare he hit me a tremendous blow on the head. Prisoner—Ay, to be sure I did, and I inten have a crack at one or other of you every night. The prisoner now became so excessively unruly that it was wit;` extreme difficulty he could be restrained, and .° was locked up, in order to be handed over to the parili authorities Lo be taken care of, and prevented doing MlS chief. The Cabman—What remedy have I, when persons refuse to pay me, Sir ? Mr. COMBE—You must summons them; and obSerVe proper caution as to who you take. Tie Fi er t h : t :,' wants some alteration in this respect, but you right to give persons in charge. Cabman—Thank you, Sir ; I shall attend t° w hat you say. miffsemEimpuoteurrungie LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(TH I,44 D A 1(') DEAL, OCT, 22.—Win d` . E.—Arrived the Phoenix, Schauer, fom Memel.
