Sir ANDREW AGNEW, like the once celebrated - ROMEO COATES, appears to be smitten with a passion "for notoriety, which ridicule cannot extinguish nor grave remonstrance keep within reasonable bounds. .As the one gentleman was never easy but when ex- hibiting himself on the stage, in order to convince the •• - - • pabhc• how admirably qualified he was for burlesquing ..-the-actor's art; so the latter seems never to be in his element but when engaged in the edifying task of proving to the satisfaction of the world how consum- Mate a master he is of all the resources of puritanical cant, and how utterly he mistakes the true, vital spirit of Christianity, which is but another term for charity, forbearance, and toleration. We have never had the good fortune to see the ultra-pious . Baronet ; yet, strange to say, we seem to be perfectly acquainted with the pecu?tarities of his outer Adam ; and never, by any chance, do we meet in the streets a tall, straight, elderly gentleman, with a demure ex . pression of eye, and a phiz as long as the Irish tra ,rersers' monster indictment, and as sour as that of the Bishop of EXETER, when anguished by the recol lection of his lost rectory of Stanhope--we never meet sNith an individual of this peculiar cut in the st_reet, without f ee li ng s t rong l y tempted to ex claim, in th e excess of our respect and admira tion, There goes Sir ANDREW AGNEW !

I every railway ;" and then proceeds to say :—" Is the Henry (2 , ,iburn, Publisher, 11,0r..at Marlborough-street. word of GOD to lose its power, as the sword of the Spirit, on the human conscience, because in his provi dence a new system of traffic has been developed ? Undoubtedly there was with the MOST Ificu the foreknowledge of every shape and form of work and traffic in this our day and generation ; and the work of railways, both as to their for mation and their traffic, is comprehended in the words, ' all thy works,' to be done in the six working-days of the week." We infer from this that the omniscient CREATOR of the Universe foresaw that the time would arrive when the Great Western and all the other railways would be carried into execu tion, and, consequently, he had a special eye to them, as well as to the spinning-jenny, the Thames Tunnel, and other " forms of work and traffic," when he laid down the law to man that he should work six days in the week, and rest on the seventh ! Sir ANDREW AGNEW is, we believe, like most fanatics, a well-in tentioned person ; but is it possible to allude in a more familiar, irreverent spirit to the awful attributes of the DEITY, than he has done in the above passage ? Would any one but himself have ever dreamed of representing his CREATOR as endowed with a " foreknowledge" of the railway system ? The saintly Baronet next goes on to recommend all railway proprietors to agitate the question of Sabbath desecration at their public and private meetings. "Freedom of speech and of debate being given," he adds, "we can reiterate our principle, and make all half yearly meetings as so many Lord's- day Societies, none being suffered to pass with out hearing and sending abroad public testi monies for the truth ; and we hare the highest authority for believing that such faithfulness may be blessed to the convincing of many who are now op posed to us, for faith cometh by hearing." If Sir ANDREW were to be one of the speakers at these meetings, we should be disposed to say—" sleep cometh by hearing," rather than " faith ;" but passing this consideration, can any man con ceive a more absurd proposition than that the half-yearly meetings of the railways should be "as so many Lord's-day Societies"--in other words, that they should constitute a strange jumble of busi ness and piety, where the language of the ledger should be blended with the language of Scripture ; and exhortations to look sharp after the dividend be followed with exhortations to look sharp after their immortal souls ? Madrid journals of the 21st instant give reports of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, which show that even the Members take no interest in the discussions. Not more than sixty were present when the clause declaring the Senate elective was adopted. No positive information respecting ZURBANO bad been received by the Government. The capital was perfectly tranquil, and the funds remained firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 28i for cash, and 28i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days; the Floating Debt at 65:1, at 59 days; the Coupons at 25t. for cash ; and the Debt without In terest at 6 for cash, and 6 3-32 at 60 days.

Fisher Mar ray, Author of " The World of London." The Tempted._ The accounts in the Paris papers, as well as these published near the scene of action, leave no doubt that the attempt of ZUBBANO to raise an insurrection in the north of Spain had completely failed. His followers were completely dispersed on the 19th or 20th inst., and ZURBANO himself escaped, but one of his sons, a youth only twenty-three years of age, his father-in-law, and several others fell into the hands of the QUEEN'S troops. The Constitutionnel thus relates these events : " We have received intelligence from Bayonne, which gives as positive the arrest of the son and father-in•law of Zurbano, who accompanied him in his enterprise. Both were taken on the night of the 20th, near the Ebro, at the moment they were seeking to pass the river, in order to take refuge in France. As to Zurbano himself, it was supposed that he was lying hid in some village of the high grounds, between Upper Arragon and Navarre. It is not true, as had been reported in Bayonne, that he had turned back :to Soria. The two prisoners, we un derstand, were placed in cus t o dy i n t h e chapel of Lo grono. All that was waited for to have them shot was the order of General Pavia, Captain-General of Navarre. Zurbano's son is 23 years of age." The Phare des Pyrenees of the 24th gives longer details, and states that it is the brother-in-law, not the father-in-law, of ZURAANO, who had been cap. tured with one of his sons. No traces of ,ZUBBANO'S flight had been discovered. That journal says : " We have received a letter from Vittoria dated the 22d, and written at the moment the courier was about to depart, which states the military authorities had just received an official report announcing that Cayo Muro, Zurbano's brother-in-law, and one of his ser van t s , h a d fallen into the hand s o f th e Queen's troops on the 20th, when endeavouring to gain the Ebro. One of Zurbano's sons was also made prisoner on the night of the 20th. " The news which we gave in our last number relative to the rising of the communes of Anso and Echo (Upper Arragon) appears positive. The following details have reached us through Urdos, under date of the 21st:— ' The first act of the insurgents was to disarm the Custom-house officers placed over that part of the frontier. They next seized on a rich landowner of the country, whose only crime is being a Moderado, and they demanded from him a sum of 20,000 f., which he was obliged to pay down to save his life. Not withstanding this compliance on his part, g reat uneasi ness was felt for his life, as the insurgents h ad killed one of his servants. The Governor of Jaca, informed of these events, dispatched against the insurgents a detach ment of 50 soldiers, who, according to the account of persons arriving at Urdos, were made prisoners. The officer in command of the detachment was, it is said, killed in endeavouring to escape, and another officer, belonging to the Custom-house corps, had met with the same fate. The insurgents threatened to kill every pri soner that attempted to escape.' A letter which we have received from Pampeluna, of the 21st, informs us that the insurrection of the two communes met with no sym pathy from the surrounding valleys, and that the Cap tain-General of Arragon has sent troops in pursuit of the insurgents. On his side, the Captain-General of Navarre has directed a strong detachment on the valley of Roncal, in order to assist in restoring tranquillity. The news of the complete destruction of Zurbano's band will powerfully contribute to enlighten these unfortu nate people, who must have been led astray by false re • presentations." The next scene will be the execution of the un happy victims of a scheme which, from the commence ment, held out no prospects of success. ZURBLNO had no wealthy supporters ; he could not bribe as NARVAEZ did ; he had to trust only to the patriotism of the people, but the people rejected him. The following remarks, respecting the schemes of certain Spaniards in Paris, appears in the Freese : " The chiefs of the Progressist and the Ayacucho parties in Paris are preparing a political demonstration, from which they expect great effects. We said, a short time ago, that three Madrid journals, El Expectader, El Clamor Publics, and El Leo del Commercio, had opened a subscription for the persons arrested as participators iu the late affairs of Madrid and Barcelona. At the instigation of the great leader of the party, it was decided that there should be sent to Madrid, to be pub lished in all the journals, a list of subscriptions, con taining the signatures of all the Progressists and Ayacuchos in France and England. This list, which has been circulated with the greatest mystery, has already a large number of signatures. The first name, we are assured, is that of General Espartero." The same journal contains an article on the elec• don of Mr. PoLK as President of the United States, and thus expresses satisfaction at the defeat of Mr. CLAY : " That according to the accounts brought by the Great Western, the election of Mr. Polk may be considered as certain. We may be permitted, therefore, to examine its bearing on external as well as on internal affairs. The only question which affects us is whether the ten dency of the new Government will be injurious or ad vantageous to our interests, and in this point of view the defeat of Mr. Clay does not cause us any regret. Whig as he was, he nevertheless laboured hard to procure the adoption by the American union of a system of tariffs from which the manufactures of France suffered severely. If he had succeeded in his election for the President's chair, no doubt the present tariff would have been maintained, and perhaps increased. To speak can didly, we are glad that Mr. Clay and his school have been defeated, since the consequence may be a modification favourable to the trade of our country. Mr. Polk, the future President, appears disposed to reduce the duties we complain of, and therefore Mr. Polk, Radical though he be, is welcome to us. For the same reason his ap pointment will be favourably received in England, be cause the tariff of 1842 is equally injurious to English interests. This satisfaction, however, will be mingled with uneasiness. Mr. Polk is, in fact, a declared par tisan for the annexing of Texas to the Union. He has likewise declared for the definitive occupation of the Oregon territory by t=ie American forces. But these are two acts against which England has never ceased to protest. Being now masters of the Government, will the democratic party and its representative pursue the plans which they announced during the electoral con test? Will England, on her sid.?, persist in the oppo sition which she manifested at the first declaration of such an intention ? These are questions which naturally present themselves, and which merit the undivided atten tion of the political world." THE BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, Nov. 27. First 111;hest Lowest Last Price. Price.

" I feel," writes Mr. CARUS WILSON, in a letter o the Times, remarkable for the force of its com position, and the moderation of its tone—"l feel that I am a prisoner in this vile custody for life, and that the Habeas Corpus Acts are a dead letter. The Royal Court 6f Jersey has no power to bail me ; it knows not even the form of a recognisance; and if the Court of Queen's Bench cannot release me by habeas corpus, it most assuredly cannot release me on bail." The case of this gentleman—the victim of the petty resentments of some trumpery authorities in Jersey, on whose proceedings he is charged with having expressed himself with (what here in Eng land would certainly not be considered) " undue warmth," is of course fully within the recollection of our readers. In former articles we have demon strated the enormous oppression inflicted upon him, an English subject, by the vindictive and insolent conduct of one of those bastard, "pie-poudre" courts of legal vexation, which, under such sounding names as "Royal Courts," with " Grand Baillis" and small Viscounts, still survive to plague honest men, the QUEEN'S lieges, in the Channel Islands. On former occasions we were certainly disposed to be amused with, but at the same time to treat with contempt, the ridiculous pretensions of these irascible insular magistrates and " Crown officers" (Gon help us!), to a species of consecrated infallibility, unre bukable even by the wholesome censures of that chartered libertine, the Press. We could conceive nothing snore ridiculous than the unsuspecting gravity with which M. le Bairn DOGBERRY, running his head against M. le Grand Jurat VERGES, in his haste to mount the judgment-seat of the Cour Royale, inti mated his conviction that " the eyes of all Europe were upon them"—(as some Duke-street tailor said, a few years ago, when there was a public meeting of the masters to consider what " measures " were to be taken with their revolted men). We were tickled with the professional vanity of the Attorney-General —(for such an office, or something tantamount to it, forms part of the judicial state of this modern Bara taria, just as a popular tenore, or a foreign ballet master, has, now-a-days, on his staff a secretary)— of the Jersey Attorney-General, who was willing to do his duty, on the condition of Mr. CARUS WlL soN's previously apologising to the Court for having done that which it was of the essence of his case to show was nothing wrong, and therefore not to be punished, and still less to be apologised for. From the indecent " ribaldry," as Mr. WILSON justly terms it, of the Judge who presides in this island Court, it would seem as if a real GULLIVER were once more entrapped and tied down by the spiteful little people of a new Lilliput. They quarrel even with his stature. But really their worrying has grown into a serious nuisance; and this nuisance must be put down. Were we inclined, or did we imagine our readers disposed, to go once more into the legal argument on this case, or to discuss the startling speech of the Solicitor-General, and the opinion avowed by Mr. Justice PATTESON the other day in the Bail Court, on application to have a rule for the return, in WILSON'S case, to a writ of habeas corpus, already granted by the Queen's Bench, enlarged, we should but weaken the very able appeal contained in the prisoner's letter already alluded to. And what does that letter esta• blish ? An unanswerable case of a grievance and a punishment, hopeless, irremediable, absolute in the event of the Court of Queen's Bench finally deter• mining in terms of its last sentence. No one at tempts to vindicate the lower Court, the Jersey tri bunal—its law, its . finding—or the conduct of its members. No one attempts to deny, now, that it is well there is a Governor on the island of so much ac RAILWAY SHARES.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius a t W estm i nster before Lord DENDLizi and a Middlesex Common Jury.) PITCHER P. RING. This was an action brought by the plaintiff an attor ney, against the defendant, the Sheriff of Sussex, for making an improper return to a writ for levying an exe cution on the goods of a person named Bean, at Brighton. The history of this case is a curious one. The plaintiff, who is an attorney, appeared as such in Court, and was constantly instructing his counsel, Mr. Watson. Two juniors, Mr. Crompton and Mr. Charnock, were with Mr. Watson, but neither of them were in Court when the case was called on, neither did they appear in Court during its progress. . Mr. WATSON opened the case to the jury, and stated , that the case had previously been before the Court on demurrer. The pleadings were most voluminous, and had been drawn with such ingenuity that they had puzzled all the lawyers in Westminster Hall. Lord DENMAN—I am sure they puzzled all the Judges.—(A laugh.) Mr, WATSON had sat up the greater part of last night and the night before, to study them, and was not sure that he actually understood them yet. In consequence of the decision of the Court there had been a new as signment, and that, at all events, the plaintiff would be entitled to their verdict. Mr. PLArr, who appeared for the defendant, thought his Learned Friend did not accurately understand the record. Mr. WATSON requested the officer of the Court to hand him the record. A quantity of parchment, which might have served as a carpet to the floor of the Court, was hero handed to Mr. Watson, who exclaimed, on receiving it, " Why, gentlemen of the jury, here is enough of it to furm a winding-sheet for the whole of you I" The case, however, broke down at the very commencement. An office copy of the return made by the defendant was put in, and William Walker was called for the purpose of proving it, but William Walker did not answer. He was then called upon his subpcena, and as he did not appear, Lord DZNNAN directed that the plaintiff must be non suited. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &c.) MURDER.—AIfred Edwards, aged twenty-four, de scribed in the calendar as au oilman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Jane Gregory, " an unfortunate girl," by administering to her a certain poison. Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Doane attended for the prosecution ' • Mr. Ballantine and Mr. P arry were retained for the defence. Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the jury, and then called witnesses. Mary Greene, 2, New-court, Nichol-street, Bethnal green, knew the deceased, who lived at No. 3, in the same court. She was a woman of the town. The pri soner was in the habit of visiting Jane Gregory, at her lodgings. I remember, on the night of the 19th Sep tember, seeing the prisoner with the deceased in her room. Jane called me in, and I saw the prisoner at the fire smoking his pipe, and the deceased sitting by him. They were both sober. I saw a quart pot on the table, with some beer in it, and I was asked to take some by deceased and did so. She also drank a little of it, but the prisoner did not. There was also a long necked black bottle and a cup upon the table. This was about eight o'clock at night, and there was no light in the room. I could not see whether there was anything in the bottle or the cup. I asked what was in the bottle, and she said only some catsup. She did not say where she got it. She did not say where it came from before the prisoner. I went away and came back a second time with a light. The bottle I could then perceive was about half full of liquid. There appeared to be some in the teacup also of a dark colour. She asked me to go out with her when Alfred was gone. I said, if not too long. I did go with her. I then went away and put my bonnet and shawl on. I went to the door and called Jane. Alfred was there then. In a short time I went in. Jane was putting on her bonnet, and he was sitting by the fire. I said, "Jane, I can't go with you, it's ten o'clock." The young man said, " No, it's not so late." We went down stairs then, but first the young man put the bottle in his pocket, and the cup was put in the cupboard. We went as far as Cock-lane, andail and there she sa Heid, , p G ar e t e l nigh t said, hAa ltfrt iemd" e s o ah o na d idl hI e night, skeies eyeJodaun andte 0 , ' . 9 shook hands ss i te m ' o i T t , h tsh ‘ ha ,h eie A d e ß :li er fe ci : ta W nn h i e a n , h running le t there e re s a h w e aysh till to-morrow comes, and e S a lt' s o e p d and I then went round by a h r e id " a .as • im c ; a loel l called win after y:,o,aun.dn h ” com plained of sickness. That was in about half an hour atter parting with Alfred. She appeared to spit a very little like water. I left her when she went into the thea trical room at the Britannia, and I came home. It was then about twenty minutes to eleven. I saw her again next morning after ten o'clock. Baron ALDERSON—Did she complain of pain before you left her that night ? Witness—Yes ; shecomplaincd of pain in the stomach. I saw her about a quarter after ten next morning. She appeared to be dying. She spoke sensibly but low. Iler hands seemed spent and quite black. Her face was as black as her hands. I took her hand • it felt cold and I could not open the fingers. She said lam dying. I said, Jane what have you been drinking ? She replied nothing but the brandy Alfred gave her. I saw Sarah Russell in the room and sent her for deceased's brother. The prisoner then came in and said to her " What's the matter ?" She said " Alfred, Alfred, how bad I am. lam dying." He said, "What have you been drink ing?" She replied " Nothing, but the brandy bitters you gave me last night.' He coloured up very much and said nothing. I left him then with Charlotte Scott and the deceased. When I re turned, the prisoner was gone. The doctor came and advised her to go to the hospital. On the Tuesday before the prisoner and deceased had a few words. I was in my own room, but when he was gone, she came down to me crying. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I knew the de ceased about nine months. She walked the streets. She was admitted, a ithout paying, into the Britannia, where there was music an d d ancing, and liquors were sold. ' She had the small-pox about three months before, but had recovered about three weeks before. I did not see medi cine bottles about her room. I did see some quicksilver on the mantel-piece, but I did not know what it was till the policeman told me. I never knew of her having any disease except the small pox. Sarah Ketteridge examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am married, and on Thursday the 29th September, was at Nichol-street, Bethnal-green. On that night, between eleven and twelve, I met the deceased, Jane Gregory, in Shorediteh. She complained a great deal and vomited, but I could not see what it was. She was retching for five minutes. She drank some cold water. When I left her near home it was past one o'clock. Some severe observations were here made by the Learned Judge, and coincided in by Counsel, as to the culpability of tradesmen in offering a premium to vice by admitting unfortunate females free to public places of entertainment. Harriet Church—The deceased occupied a room in my house. She was often visited by the prisoner.

The following are the names of those who stool in dicted :-71 Wilson, S. Wilson, Ellen Daly, Martha Daly, George Shea, and William Payne. The facts elicited in each case by the evidence were of the ordinary nature developed in cases of smashing. In the case of T. Wilson the circumstances were more aggravated than those of his fellow-prisoners, having at tempted to pass for a half-sovereign a good sixpence, which he had gilt over in such a manner as to render a detection of the fraud almost impossible, except to the most experienced eye. He had also violently assaulted the prosecutor and the police when endeavouring to take him into custody. Mr. Ellis appeared for the prosecution, and all the prisoners were undefended. The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners excepting Ellen Daly and Martha Daly, The Learned COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said he was sorry to perceive the progress which " smash ing" was latterly making. The most dangerous mode adopted by the present " smashers," who began first with copper, then with silver, and ended with gold, was that of passing gilt sixpences for sovereigns, and he hoped those whose province it was to put the public on their guard would make this system of fraud generally known. The COURT then sentenced T. Wilson to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour; and each of the other convicted prisoners to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour. At the termination of these trials (twelve o'clock) the Grand Jury entered the Court, and having informed the Learned Judge that they had disposed of all the bills before them, he returned them thanks for their atter', tion and expedition, after which they were discharged. A welldressed and gentlemanly young man was placed at the bar, upon an indictment charging him with steal ing various articles, the property of John West. It appeared that the prisoner had taken furnished lodgings from the prosecutor, from which he absconded in two days aftgr, taking with ,him several articles of wearing apparel, the property of the prosecutor and other lodgers. Several other cases of a similar nature having been established against the prisoner, the jury returned a ver dict of Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE LATE EXTENSIVE SWINDLING CASES.—Samuel Edge, who was tried yesterday in this Court upon seve ral indictments charging him with swindling a vast num ber of tradesmen, in conjunction with three persons named Henry Miller, Sarah Denver, and Charlotte Edge, the former of whom was sentenced to transportation, was again placed at the bar this morning, to receive judgment. The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said he had consulted the several Judges sitting at the Central Criminal Court, and neither he nor they, after a careful perusal of the evidence, could entertain a doubt but he was one of a most daring gang of swindlers, who lived by plundering honest tradesmen. However, as he was not proved to have been so deeply involved as the other prisoners, the Court would show him more raercy, and only sentence him to 18 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. (THIS DAY , This day, in consequence of it becoming known in this district that, at an early hour this morning, the police had succeded in entering a common gaming -house in St. James's-street, and captured several of the gamblers, a vast concourse of persons assembled in front of this Court to witness their being brought up. The Court was also excessively crowded by parties desirous to hear the investigation. Mr. Clarkson and a solicitor appeared on behalf of the defendants. After the night charges had been disposed of, the defendants, fourteen in number, were placed at the bar, in the following order, charged with having been found in a common gambling-house, without lawful excuse, viz., Charles H un t, Charles Lilly, William S aun d ers , John Lewis, John Nichols, Thomas Howard, James Shaw, Alexander Vincent, George Jones, Henry Jack son, William Johnson, G eorge J ones, Thomas Wood, and George Fitzgerald. Superintendent Hughes, of the B division, stated that, in accordance with the orders of the Commissioners of Police, he went this morning, between two and three o'clock, accompanied by Superintendent Beauford of the C division, and about twenty-five constables, to No. 64, St. James's-street, and found the street door open ; a second door, a glass one, was also open ; a third door was covered with baize, and was fastened with a latch— it was forced open, and a fourth was reached ; it was a very strong door, covered with green baize and thick sheet iron. It was attempted to be forced open for about five minutes, and then one of the defendants, believed to be Vincent, cline down stairs and said it should be opened, if they would desist. It ' was opened, and was found to have been secured with three strong bolts on the inside, and a thick iron bar fixed in the centre of the do or i nto t h e stone flooring. black look, and then poured about a table- spoonful into the cup, and then drank it, but spat as much into the fireplace as he had poured into the cup. He then took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and went away. At the bottom of the stairs he spat again. Baron ALDERSON—it is quite impossible that this wit ness can be correct to the letter, but it is just possible she may be correct in substance. t . James Gregory, brother of deceased, had seen the prisoner and his sister in company twice, some time in July or August. I was sent for on the morning of the 20th, and went for Dr. Smith. I saw a bottle in the cupboard—the only bottle there of the contents of which I tasted. I took the bottle away, and gave it to Mr. Wheelborn, the chemist, and I afterwards went with the police -sergeant to look for the prisoner. Found him in a public-house in Cock-lane, Shoreditch, about fifty or eighty yards from the place at which my sister died. She was 17 years of age. I asked him what was the matter with my sister. He said he did not know-311e had taken some brandy bitters. They say (meaning the girls in the room) that I have poisoned her. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The bottle now produced was more full when I left it at the chemist's than it is now. My sister left her place about two years ago, and since that time I believe has been living in this state. Sergeant Seeley-1 took the prisoner into custody. I said, "It is a bad job—the girl's dead." He said, " Good God I what I gave her was brandy bitters." He also said that he himself had taken some of the brandy bitters. I have often drunk of it myself. Henry Lambert, a constable, found a piece of paper on the mantelpiece of deceased's rooms, with a bit of quick silver in it. On the evening of Friday went to the house of prisoner's father, and searched the prisoner's bed-room, and in a drawer of the glass found a powder. The prisoner's sister then showed me a cupboard in the kitchen, in which I found a paper marked " sugar of lead—poison." The paper was damp and mouldy, as if it had not been opened for a considerable time. In a piece of brown paper I found a white substance with no writing on it. It had no dust on it like the first paper. I delivered these packages to Dr. Leesom. I was present in Shoreditch Church when the grave was opened con taining the body of deceased. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—The powder found in the cupboard was along with bottles of pickles, &c. Thomas Edwards, father of the prisoner —The cup board was used by the prisoner for keeping pickles, and he had always the key in his possession. I have had a bad leg to which I have been in the habit of applying an ointment made from red or white precipitate. Henry: Smith proved that he drank some brandy bittersgiven him by the prisoner, and he felt no ill effects from what he drank. Thomas Windmill, gave similar evidence. The pri soner said that the brandy bitters were very old, and had been in his father's house for above two years. It had been left by an old lady, who had died there. He offered the bottle and contents for six shillings. He was per fectly serious in his offer. The brandy bitters produced no inconvenience. Smith, surgeon and assistant to Mr. Wheelborn, of Shoreditch—l visited the deceased, and found her in bed suffering from pains in the stomach and intermittent pulse. The skin was very dark. I saw a bottle on the table, and poured some of the contents into a cup and tasted it. It felt pungently bitter and strong. I went home to prepare medicines, but she had died in the meanwhile. The brother afterwards gave me the bottle, which I gave to Dr. Leesom. I made a post mortem exa mination of the body, and the stomach was inflamed with small red spots, particularly at the lower extremity. When the body was afterwards exhumed, I took the kidneys and liver out, and gave them, with the stomach, to Dr. Leesom. George Roper, student of Guy's Hospital—Received two bottles and the stomach, which I sealed up and gave to a boy to deliver to Dr. Leesom, of St. Thomas's Hospital. The delivery of the package and bottles to Dr. Leesom was proved. Dr. Smith recalled, and examined by Mr. BALLAN TINE—The kidneys were not discoloured. By Mr. CRAMBERS—The gums were not discoloured. Dr. Leesom, Physician of St. Thomas's Hospital, and Lecturer on Chemistry, declared the general effects of poison on the system as a contracted position, great sen sation of thirst, rigidity of the limbs, &c., and accom panied by great pain. These sensations could be pro duced by a lead poison, in most of its preparations. In the present case he observed the stomach in an inflamed state at the upper extremity, and a trifling inflamation at the lower part. The coats of the stomach were partially congested, which was not usual with that particular poison. On analysing the stomach, he found a portion of lead therein, weighing 1 gr. and 1 den. The quantity of water used in boiling was somewhere about two gallons, which would dissolve a still greater quantity of lead than that remain ing after the analysis. On testing the contents of the bottle in deceased's room, I found it to contain ab solute alcohol, in the proportion of two to one. It con tained, no metallic compound whatever. There was a sediment at the bottom, which contained chalk, and on applying the tests for mercury and lead, found neither in any quantity sufficient to weigh them. The Learned JUDOiI thought the case need not go any further, and, on Mr. Clarkson's assent to the opinion, the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The unfortunate prisoner burst into tears, and for some time was apparently insensible to what was passing around him. Baron ALDERSON said that in his opinion the case was decided, when the fact of others drinking the same liquid, without sustaining any injury, was shown to the Court. The unfortunate girls vicious life had no doubt accelerated a crisis which was certain, in every case, at no very distant day. They proceeded into the front room on the first floor, and three the whole of the defendants were found except ing Hunt. The defendant Lilly demanded what right the police had to forcibly enter a room whore gentlemen were assembled to play at billiards ? They were tc.ld they must all go to the station-house for being found in a common gambling house, and they were accordingly conveyed there, but were afterwards bailed aut. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—There were two billiard-tables in the room. No implements of gambling were found in the house. Inspector Beresford stated, that as he was standing near the house just previous to the entry being made, William Johnson and another of the defendants, who were standing at the door, recognised him, and directly ran in, and he instantly heard a bell ring, which was, no doubt, to give the alarm that the police were at hand. After the other defendants had been secured, he, ongoing to the cellar stairs, found the defendant Hunt coming up from the basement floor, and took him into custody. The rooms were lighted up with gas, as gambling houses generally are. There is a billiard-table manu factory in the upper part of the house. Mr. Clarkson submitted that there was not a tittle of evidence affecting his clients, and he should at once ask for their immediate discharge. Mr. HARDwicx said perhaps there was no moral doubt, but that it was a common gambling-house ; but he did not think the evidence sufficient to commit the de fendants for the offence they were charged with. The Act of Parliament was a very severe one, and legal proof beyond all doubt should be produced before it was put in force.

Four boys, varying in ages from fourteen to eight years, were charged with what is commonly termed " starring the glaze." The prisoners were observed lurking about shop win dows in Gray's Inn-lane, and at length one of them, Downey, seemed to be struck with admiration at a piece of machinery in the window of an optical instrument maker. He Galled his companions to admire the article, andi whilst they were screening him, he was cutting away the glass, and succeeded in removing a large piece ; the alarm was just then given, and they were secured. They were well stowed with hosiery and hard ware, which bore the shop marks, and even with pieces of beef and pork. Downey, who looked as broad as a Dutchman, on ex amination turned out to have four coats on him. The prisoners, who are all well known to the police as a portion of a gang who are the terror of the shop keepers of Clerkenwell, were sentened each to a month's imprisonment. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CO RN - EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. We had a full average . quantity of English Wheat. Owing to the millers having well supplied themselves from the late large arrivals, the demand was very heavy, and prices were, with difficulty supported.

There was a good deal of Barley, both English and Foreign, on sale ; hence the inquiry for that article was very dull, and the inferior kinds were is per quarter cheaper.
