Sir Ronnar :Para.. said he:was always•unwilling• to press . forwarct any measure - prematurely, and as the ; Right Honourable Gentlernan had stated that the I • Irish Members had not had an oppoitunity of fully I considering the measure, he would postpone the se- I Bond reading, and state at a future day en it would w, take place. . In answer to a question from Mr. F. T. %800, Sir Ron,Eirr PEEL said the Budget would be brought forward on Monday week, the 29th instant. A brief discussion took place relative to the late delivery of letters in the Midland Counties, when Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that the Government were most anxious to afford every facility to the speedy trans mission of letters, but they were hampered by the great expense to which the public were put by making terms with railways. He at the same time intimated that railway proprietors would best consult their own interest by facilitating communication through the Post office. Mr. WILLIAMS said if railroad companies refused to give every reasonable facility for the transmission of letters, and every other communication, they ought to be compelled by law to do their duty. After some questions and notices of motions, the House went into Committee of Supply, and on the motion that a vote of 59,3501. should be passed for salaries and other expenses of the officers of the two Houses of Parliament, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to it, on the'ground that the House of Lords did not give in an estimate, like other establishments, for what they might want. After some discussion, Mr. Hums moved that the vote be reduced by 15,0001., and, on a division, there, were for the amendment 13, and against it 69. A number of other votes were agreed to, and the House resumed. On the motion of Sir J. GRAHAM, the County Courts Bill was read a second time. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Wood stock, in the room of Mr. THESIGER, appointed Sol icitor- General. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve. The Trish Registration Bill was last night post poned, and an attempt, as atrocious as any that our times have witnessed, to deprive the Irish people of their fair share of political privileges, and to fritter away the little semblance of justice which a Tory Go vernment can afford them, is for the present sus pended. Never was anything mere monstrous than the Tory notions of justice to Ireland. Justice, in deed !--injustice is the English of it—one-sided legis lation on every subject ;—law making, with a view only to the benefit of the party, and with an entire denial of all equality, or claims to fair dealing. For years the Tories have been annoyed by the state of the Irish representation ; they have cursed the liberal majority which that kingdom sends and 'Mist send to Parliament, so long as the grievances of 'lreland re main unredressed, and its cry for justice is unheeded. But instead of removing the cause, they seek to re move the effect—instead of giving justice, they seek to perpetrate woful wrong—and, regardless of the voice which proclaims injuries and evils, existent and pressing, they seek to stifle the power of complaint, and to smother the complainants. The constituency of Ireland, small as it is; at present is beyond the Tories to manage. They have long sought, and they now seek, to cripple, and to destroy it. Their Regis tration Bill is only a continuance of their attempts to govern Ireland by means of their own ; by the sup l pression of the public voice, and by the domination of Tory landowners and Tory tools. But we know little of Irish perseverance if this Bill, this worthy follower of the Irish Arms Bill of last session, be allowed to pass into a law; and disgraced indeed will the Irish. Members of the House of Commons be, if they do not in one body join to repel such an insult, and prevent such an injustice as the PEEL-and- STANLEY Registration' Bill. Registration for Ire land, in Tory phraseology, means annihilation . of the constituency; and no man more bitterly hates in Ireland, that which in England the Chandos clause, and the reservation of old and corrupt rights, enabled him to use for his purposes, than does Sir ROBERt PEEL. A new writ was last night moved for Woodstock, vacant by the promotion of Mr. THUMB tQ be So. licitor-General. But it would seem that the Learned Gentleman must get into the House of Commons by seine other means than Woodstock, for the Marquis Of BLANDFORD stands for that place. His address to the electors, dated yesterday, pledges himself to nothing but to oppose the aims and objects of Whigs; ltadicals, and Destructives. He is canvassing the borough, and with very little success, from the good feelings of the constituency ; but the powers of the Duke will be put into full force for his son, and no doubt their votes will be given to the Marquis at the poll. But where is Mr. THESIGER to be returned for ? It was supposed that the safety of his seat gave him the call before Mr. KELLY, but it was not so, as it now seems, and Sir ROBERT PEEL must find a place in Parliament, as well as at the bar, for his new Solicitor-General. Will he try Horsham ? It is a curious fact, no less strange than true, that Tory jobbery and mismanageinent have been found out, even in the highest quarters ; and not only found out, but exposed and corrected. Up to the time of the Liberal Government quitting office, the QUEEN'S Household was conducted on a scale of great liberality, - but at the same time its expenditure was kept within the bounds of the income allotted to it. No sooner, however, was a Tory Government installed, than, from some unexplained cause, Tory tradesmen are substi tuted for Liberals, and, either from a too profuse sup. ply of articles, or from a general want of management and economy, the cost of the Royal. household be comes alarmingly increased. To such a pitch did matters get, that the Qum.; herself took the matter in hand, and, under the orders of Royalty, the most searching inquiry took place into the cause of the very great additional expencii tore. Some very extraordinary results of this in quiry have reached us, but the summary may be stated in a few words. It was found that a system of jobbery, and of something very like peculation, had been introduced, and that a total want of manage ment had been shown by those who ought to have I attended to the details. The dismissals and the changes in the Royal Household, and the various I other reductions in the Palace expenditure, have all t been done by the express orders of her MAJESTY, who has shown that she will neither sanction waste in her household, nor allow her servants to rob their mis tress, and through her, the country. An important Meeting of Delegates from the Lan cashire Districts was held at Manchester on Sunday morning last, at which, among other resolutions, one was moved " expressiie of regret." that the Delegates should have been compelled to meet on the Sabbath —a circumstance to which Mr. HIGGINBOTHAM alluded in' the following terms :---" His experience among the working classes of England convinced him that they were as anxious to keep sacred the Sabbath-day as any other class of society ; but the ' Factory Bill question was one upon 'which a united expression of opinion from the representatives of the manufacturing districts could not be given,unlessupon that day." Highly creditable as this resolution of "regret" for meeting on Sunday is to the religiodi feelings of those who passed it, we cannot but thik that it was in a great measure superfluous, for who but the veriest fanatic could possibly have blamed the Delegates for holding their meetinx on the Sabbath— more.eSpecially when the selection Of that day was one, not of choice, but of stern necessity ? Had the question which they assembled to discuss been one of an ordinary business character,;—had it involved none 'but pounds-shillings-and-R#e considerations, their conduct might then have been justly reprobated as being —to say the least of it-- 7 -grossly and wantonly irrever ent ; but the object of their meeting was of a far higher and nobler order—if Was to assert the sacred rights of humanity —to Make known the temporal, aye, and tspiritual wa n t s , tao, of thousands of toil-worn, neg lected, more dancldefenceless women an d children—and to what righteous purpose than this could the Lard's Day, l be possibly d e di ca t e d ? If, however; the prejudice, of the ultra-orthodox should, chance to receive a shock on hearing of this Sunday meeting of the-Factory Delegates, .we would remind such well ] intentiened,-but bigoted persons, that to advocate the rights . of the poor is at least as C re dit a bl e an act as I giving a fashionable dinner party on the Sabbath ' flguringon the promenade in Hyde Park, or countin g i the pleasure•wherries, - from ,a palace-v.indow at Fulham, that may 'happen to be iloating• along the Tharhes,! But , to' pass from matters of pure cant'to' those of charity and beneid lence—tolhoie, in short, which intimately concern the dearest interests of huTin nature. At the Delo , gate meeting in questiOn , it 4as proved, by incontro vertible evidence, that the anxiety for a Ten Holm Bill was general among the operatives in the manu-: factoring districts, who were gage prepared—to:, •~,~t.i.~Lfr+s~r. quote the language of the Report—" to let the quesi tion of wages, about which so much has been saki, find its own level." It was proved also that the labour of women and children, so far from diminish ing, was greatly on the increase in the factories, and that Lord ASHLEY, in his speech in the House of Commons, rather underrated than overrated the extent of the evil. In reference to this subject, we quote a few significant passages from the Report which 'was read at the meeting :—" MAN CHESTER : Female labour is here very much on the increase; in one mill, which may be taken as an average of the whole, there are five hundred and forty-two pair of looms, and of this number there are upwards of four hundred women. The propor tion of women and children. to adults, is about four to one of the whole employee'—" STOCKPORT : Women are on the increase ; and in some mills, where there are two thousand looms, there is not a single man at Work. The proportion of women and children is at least four-fifths of the whole employed."—" BOLTON : The number of women is on the increase, and is now at least six to two."—" BURY : The people here are determined to do all they tan for the Ten Hours Bill ; and one of our largest manufacturers is in favour of it, as well as some others.'—" HYDE : The feeling is universal in favour of Lord ASHLEY'S Bill, and the operatives are willing to sign petitions ; but many are afraid to be seen doing so, lest they should be discharged!" Discharged ! And for no worse crime than endeavouring to protect the interest of their families, and secure the , comfort and happiness of their own oppressed wives and children Was there ever a greater libel on humanity than is im plied in this natural apprehension on the part of the operatives ? We quote one more pas sage from' the • Report, which will show how little attention is paid to considerations of mere feeling, when they come in: collision with those of grasping avarice :-- "BLACKBURN : The number of women is here much on the increase. The propor tion of women and children employed, as compared with adults, will be upwards of four-fifths. The Dele gate was authorised by an overlooker in this town to say, that when a woman leaves her work to be con fined, her husband, who is himselfapower-loom weaver, and cannot obtain employment on account of ,his sex, is not allowed to work for his -wife during her confinement, and the consequence is that she is fften compelled from necessity to return to her work a few days after her confinement." After reading statements like these, vouched for by unimpeachable evidence, who shall presume to say that the period is not arrived when the Ten Hours Bill should be brought into full operation, and a partial stop, at least, be put to that system of excessive and unnatural labour on the part of women and children, which, in order to gratify the insatiable demands of Mam mon, makes a total wreck of health and happi ness among lamilies ; brings on in youth all the infirmities of age ; blunts and demoralises the character; sows the seeds of distrust, hate, despair, and every species Of crime ; and annually consigns hundreds—perhaps we might add, thousands—to a pauper's grave in a union work-house ! Be the oppo sition of Ministers what it may, we must, ere long, have' Lord ASHLEY'S Ten Hours Bill, and as a fitting —indeed an inevitable—sequel to this, a total Repeal of the Corn-laws ! We ha►e accounts from Madrid of the Bth inst., by which we are sorry to learn that a frightful calamity occurred on Palm Sunday at Felanitx, a town in Minorca. On the occasion a sermon was preached in the old cemetery of the place, when an old wall gave way and buried a vast number of persons under the ruins. The Alcalde (Mayor) six members of the municipality, and the priest were killed. According to the Corresponsal there were not fewer than 605 sufferers, 414 being killed, and 191 woimded. The journals contain no other intelligence. The Bourse was closed on the Bth, it being Easter Monday. The Moniteur of Simlay contains the dispatch of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, addressed .to the Minister at Marine, Admiral MAcxxtr, relative to the affairs of Otaheite. It is a lengthy document, and not very impartial, as one of its objects is to impute all the blame of the misunderstanding between the QUEEN and the French to English intrigue. It will appear evident, says he, that the only object of the English in wishing to make us abandon this archipe lago is to put themselves in our place. This, the French Admiral ought to know, is contrary to fact, and contrary to. the declared sentiments of the British Government. The Protectorate, or the Sovereignty, or by whatever name full power over the country may be described, it is well known was offered to England, and it is equally well known was positively rejected. We refer our readers to the dispatch, -which will be found under the proper head, and simply express our regret that a French officer of high rank should, in a public document, seem more anxious to impugn the, motives of England than to justify , the severe and Unjust measures which he adopted towards the unfortunate and helpless QUEEN. On Saturday, the affair was brought under the notice of the Chamber of Deputies, when a violept and angry discussion took place. On the Minister of Marine presenting copies of the dispatches,: M. BILLAULT asked Ministers for other reports—namely, those forwarded to Govern ment by junior officers, and among others, by Captain BKUAT. " Why," said M. BILLAULT, "is not his account laid before us ? How is it possible for the Chamber not to be in a state of the greatest distrust towards the Government, when it sees in what a man ner the Admiral, who was placed over the new pos session, has been treated? lam aware that the Min ister of Foreign Affairs can keep silence by pretending to be the depository of State secrets, but the Govern ment ought not so to act, for it had commenced the at tack itself, in accusing an officer of misconduct. Let the I reports sent in two months back be laid on the table, so that they may , be compared with those now pre sented. In fine, this matter ought to be brought to an end. If the - Admiral has acted improperly, there are articles in the penal code of the navy to punish him.—(A loud burst of disapprobation from the Centre, and cries of That is not the question.') Why not allow the officer who has just arrived to be in terrogated ?—(Loud cries of ' Hear, hear,' from the Left.) You keep him to yourselves. No person but yourselves has seen him !—(Fresh cries of Hear,' and marks of disapprobation from the Centre.) The' termination of this matter must be either a judgment' according to the articles of war, blaming the Admiral, or a decision of the Chamber, throwing blame on the Ministry. It ,is because we want to come to this point that we 'demand to have all the papers laid before us, in order to fix our opinion, and they are now re fused without any serious motive." 41:Guiaor replied to these remarks with great firmness, though frequently interrupted, and refused :to furnish all the papers transmitted to Govern ` ment. "We cannot," he said, " make communica tions beforehand, as' You seem to deMand, without knowing at what point of information you aim. To make those communications in the general and confused manner that you require is impossible. We do not inform you beforehand in an absolute manner, that we shall communicate to you every thing ; .nor, on the other hand, do we tell you before hand in, an abioltite manner, that we will refuse all. When you 'shall have read the report, you can ask what questions you may deem requisite, and we shall know what we ought to do. Until then wenught to up hold our rights and the true principles of Government." These replies 'were received with very general ap plause. M. ODILON BARROT admitted the right and the power of the Government to refuse the docu ments, but the question was one not of principle, but of honotir and of good faith: However, as the Mi nister for Foreign Affairs reftised to furnish more than one dispatch, they would examine that carefully, in order, if possible, to arrive at the real facts, and . afford some consolation to - the country. M. GUIZOL made some further remarks for the purpose of showing, that ISlembers would have a full opportunity of con sidering the question, and that the Government were ready to Meet them in debate. The discussion' would have ended here quietly ltut for that singular per sonage, of repeal notoriety, 111. LEDEU ROLLIN, who: , thus showed his correct knowledge of Parliamentary procedure in England. The Minister is always quoting England," said he. " Why does it not follow its example in this matter ? In such a case the House of Commons would appoint a Committee to receive the communications of the Minister.—(Cries of No, no.') The country will judge you, for it is now evi dent to every one that at the moment the Ministry was compromising a brave officer, by a measure THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APItIL 16, 1344. before unheard of, in order not to displease England, it concealed from the knowledge of the country im portant facts which justified the commander of our squadron. I declare, not to employ circumlocution, that you (turning to the Ministerial bench) show neither sincerity nor honour in your intercourse with the Chamber." This was followed by loud cries of " Order," when the PRESIDENT told M. LEnau-Roiaxis that such language was not parliamentary, and called him to order. "If they are not parliamentary they are nevertheless true," he replied; and upon this the SPEAKER put an end to the discussion, as there was no question before the Chamber. The French funds were rather flat on Sunday. The elections for Exeter, Huntingdon, Horsham, and Woodstock, are not to be mere walks over. At Exeter a gentleman named Briggs raises the standard of free trade, and contests the palm with Sir William Follett; Mr. George lhompson, Mr. Moore, and a numerous staff of the League are at his side, and a good fight will be made. At Huntingdon, and the other two places, League candidates will be named, and not a chance lost of enlightening the electoral mind. Whatever may be said or thought of the po licy of the Leaguers, it is quite certain that their energy and diligence go far to deserve success, and must, sooner or later, achieve it.

His Lordship, with " his honours fresh upon him," looked remarkably well. The Court proceeded to dispose of motions; but up to the time of our going to press there were: none, heard that call for particular notice.. THE WILLS FORGERIES CASE. •—(THIS DAY.) CRIMIAL T CH SLACKE * t r l' At the sitting of the Court this morn i ng th e pr i soners Barber eY in the dock to take' William Saunders, and Lydia and Saunders, his wife,Mrs• Dowere r placed their trial. upon the indictment charging them with the - forgery of a will purporting to be the last will and testament . of one Anne Slack. There were, as in the other case, a number of counts vary ing the description of the charge. • Mr. Wilkins, with Mr. Parry, again appeared for Barber, and Mr. Greives for Fletcher. Mr. ERLE stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared that the father of Miss Slack died about the year 181.5, leav ing a Mr. Hulme as, one of his executors. The affairs were hot wound up until 1829, when. Mr. Mime invested certain property in the public funds in the name of Anne Slack, of Smith-street, Chelsea, spinster; namely, 6,600/. in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and 3,500/. in the Three per Cent. Con sols. It appeared that Miss Slack had the most unbounded confidence in Mr.Hulme, who was her guardian,, and she drew from time to time just what money she wanted. On the death of Mr. Hulme she had to receive the dividends herself. She was unaware, however, that the 3,5001. Consols stood in her naive, and received the dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced only. The consequence was, that no dividends were received on the Three per Cent. Consols after 1832, and at the end of ten years both the stock and the dividends which had accrued due thereon, hut which she had inadvertently passed over, were transferred into the names of the Commissioners for the Reduction' of the National Debt, according to the ordinary practice in such cases. On the 16th of March, 1843, a will was produced at Doctors Commons, purporting to be that of Miss Slack. On the 24th or 25th of March probate was ob tained, and the stock and dividends subsequently transferred back into the name of Miss Slack ; and this will would un doubtedly be - proved to be a forged will. This part of the charge he should be able to make peculiarly clear, be cause he should call before them Miss Slack herself, the lady whose will this forged instrument purported to be. After calling upon the jury to discharge from their minds all that they might have heard before they entered the jury box in respect of this case, and to judge of its merits only by the evidence which should be laid before them, the Learned' Counsel .proceeded to lay before the jury a short narrative of the , circumstanees- connected with the transaction, which would be proved in evidence before them, and then went on to read the letters which Barber had written to Captain Foskett, for the purpose of procuring particulars relating to the executors under the will of the late father of Miss Slack, and as to whether Miss Slack spelt her Christian name with or without a final e. He next came to the registry of the death of "Anne Slack, of South-terrace, Pimlico," by the prisoner Fletcher, in -the name of "Ro bert Hart, of James-street, Commercial-road East." In , the first place, there was no such place as Soutkterrace, Pimlie,O; there was a South-place, but no such person as Anne Slack had ever lived there; neither was there any such street,. as James-street, Commercial-road East, nor could it be - dittovered that any such person as Robert Hart had ever resided in that neighbourhood. It appeared, there fore, that a fictitious registry of a fictitious death had been .brought about by the : prisoner Fletcher, in the 'manner which he had mentioned. It had been, said, in another case, that the register of a birth was no proof of birth—and cer tainly the registry of a death was no proof that the person alleged to' have died was deceased. Fletcher had been identified by the : registrar as' -the person. He should also prove that the prisoner Lydia Sau nders had lived in lodgings in the name of Emma Slack;' h ad been dis g uise d : by a profusion of , ringlets of very light coloured hair, and constantly wore her bonnet and boa in the house. But that, notwithstanding the lightness of her ringlets, the hair brushes were found to be tilled With hair perfectly black.— (Laughter,) While in these lodgings she was visited by Fletcher, and by her sister, Mrs. Dorey, and her identity would S be ~proved beyond a doubt.. Aft er the transfer, Mrs..aunders went back no more to the lodgings at w h ich she 'had been living as Emma Slack, but went to her sister,. Mrs. Darcy, and subsequently, after being seen with a 'large sum of money in her possession, returned home to Bristol. At the Bank she had passed as Emma Slack, the sister and executrix of ,Anne Slack, represented as deceased. The Learned Counsel then went through a history of the circum stances attending the examination of Barber at the Mansion house, and the subsequent implication of Fletcher, after he had - been produced as the person who: had introduced Emma Slack ; and after some further observations , left it for the jury to say whether-Barber had a guilty knowledge of, and was a participator in, the acts of the other prisoners. Mr. Seaton, from the Prerogative-office, produced a will .purporting to be that of Anne Slack ; also the copy of an affidavit, the original of which was at the Stamp-office. Cross-examined by Mr. WuJusrs--Was present at the *Mansion-house when Mr. Barber was first taken. Barber expressed a wish to proceed with the case at once without counsel. Mr. - Clarkson cautioned him, but he said he would rather go on, :as he had nothing to fear, or words to that effect. - . • • Mr. W. G. Bennett produced the original affidavit filed at the Stamp-office, from the Prerogative-office, and a copy of the will. Mr. Wm. mee, Chief Accountant of the Bank of England —ln 1829 there. were standing in the B books, in the name of Anne Slack, of ,Smith-street,- Chelsea,' the two sums of Cent. Consols. They were bough t ' in on the 23d October, 6,629/. 17s. Threeper i Cents. Reduced , an d 3,500/. Three p e r 1829. The dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced were paid to Ardern Hulme, Esq., by virtue of a power of attor ney ; and the dividends on the Consols were paid to the same party by a power of attorney. The dividends on both stocks were received by Mr. Hulme, up to 1832. I knew Mr. Halme. In consequence of the non-receipt of the dividends live spoken of, after 1832, on the Con Sols, the sum of 3,500/. Threc . per Cent. Consols was, on 6th July, 1842, trans erred into the names of the Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt, that being after the lapse of the period of ten years. Cross-examined by Mr. WluUNS—Persons are ordinarily called upon to identify others coming to transfer stock at the Bank. By Mr. CiREAVES—Books are published by the authority of an Act of Parliament of unclaimed dividends, and the date when the first unclaimed ►.ividend became due. . Re-examined by Mr. Entz—But not of the amount of stock upon which they are due. Mr. John Slack—l reside at Abbot's Langley, in Herts. I knew the late Mr. Ardern Hulme. My father's name was George Slack, and he left property. Mr. Mime acted as exe cutor under my father's will, and guardian to my sister and myself. He died in 1832, up towhich time he had continued to act as guardian to my sister. The document produced is in the hand-writing of .Mr. Hulme. Cross-examined by Mr. Wiuuss—My sister had an income besides the funded property. Her income was handsome. She had more than SOU, 4001., or 5001. a yean, independent of the 3,500/. Consols which lay dormant. I cannot answer the question whether she is an intelligent person or not. By the COURT—She was not accustomed to business. Mr. George Beaman, surgeon, of King-street, Covent garden—l was executor to the late Mr. Hulme, and produce a book relating to the affairs of the Slacks, which had been kept by Mr. Hulme. There appeared a settlement of ac counts, balanced and signed by Miss Slack. Miss Slack was then called, and was accommodated with a chair. She appeared exceedingly nervous. She stated — Mr. Huhn('- was my executor and guardian. After his death I received my own dividends. I was not aware that _ . I had 3,5001. Three per Cent. Consols. I -did not receive any dividends on that stock until after this inquiry began. In 1827 I was living in Smith-street, Chelsea, in the family of Mrs. Leek. 1 paid foi my board and lodging there. In 18.30 I left Mrs. Leek, and went to re side with my sister's husband, Captain Foskett, and have lived with him from that time to the present. The signature of Anne Slack to the will produced is not in my handwriting. I did not give any person authority to make this will or to sign the name. Cross-examined by Mr. Wmxrxs—My age is thirty seven. I never had an interview with Mr. Barber at all. I was taken in a cab to the office door, and Captain Foskett went .in and left me in the carriage. That occurred only once. Captain Foikett informed me, when he came out, that some moneys had been discovered belonging to a Miss Slack, of Chelsea. This writing has been shown to me several times, and does not resemble mine in the slightest degree. My writing is a neat running hand, and this is a stiff upright hand, Mr. William Christmas—l am clerk in the Bank of England. I filled the situation of Librarian at the Bank. My position enabled me to become acquainted with facts relating to unclaimed dividends. I am at present under sus pension. lam acquainted with Fletcher. I 'recollect giving him information in 1839 respecting 3,500/. stock standing in the name of Anne Slack, and subsequently gave him the descrip tion which was in the books of the Bank, namely, " Smith street, Chelsea." Fletcher afterwards showed me a letter ; possibly two months or more after the last inquiry he had made of me. He stated that it was to satisfy me as to the identity of the person whom he had found out who claimed the stock. The letter produced is that which he brought me—l think it is: 1 compared the signature 'with the power of "attorney in the books of the Bank. After having done so, I saw Fletcher again. I told him that I believed there was something in the style of the 1 1 writing like it, but that it`was a younger hand—meaning that the letter was in the younger hand. Fletcher, after a considerable time had elapsed, told me that the yrobate of the will was lying in the will office. I had cautioned him that he must be very particular of the identity of the parties, and Fletcher said that he was quite satisfied that he was right. In a few days he called on me, and said he had come to make me a remuneration for the information I had given him, He said the stock had been transferred and sold. He gave me 1001. in gold. I have returned it to him since he has been in custody. Cross-examined by Mr. GREAVES—I have been 50 years in the service of the Bank, and have given information to other persons besides Mr. Fletcher relating to unclaimed dividends. I have told Mr. Freshfield of all the persons to the best of my. recollection. I have never received 1,0001. for such informa tion ; it may be 5004 but I will swear it is not 1;000/. I gave the 1001. back to a messenger sent from Fletcher by me. I am suspended now. I did not volunteer the information I gave to Mr. Freshfield unfortunately; it was in consequence of something that had been said of me that I gave the infor mation. I was asked to acknowledge all I had done. I admit that I prevaricated at first. The following witnesses were next examined, adding no thing material to the facts :which have already frequently come before the public in the worts from the Mansion-house examinations :—Mr. John Apsley, a clerk at the Abbots Langley Railway station, his wife, and Captain Foskett, who married - the sister of Miss Anne Slack. • The trial was proceeding when we went to press. [All the prisoners:were accommodated with chairs. Bar ber, however,' stood, and continued from time to time to make copious note's; the others sat down, and appeared greatly dejected.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROITGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Thompson, a fashionably-dressed young man, who gave his residence'as being at No. 26, Sloane-street, Pimlico, and described himself as " a gentleman of fortune," was placed at the bar on the following charge : Miss Rose /SPKenzie, a young lady of 'rery interesting appearance, and whose connections are of very high respectability, stated that she was residing at No. 66, Jermyn-street, St. James's. About half-past eleven o'clock last night, she hurriedly left home to fetch a , doctor for her sister, who had been suddenly taken ill, and was, as she believed, in a dying state ; and, as she was hastily proceeding along Jerinyn-street, she met the defendant, who, as she was passing him, caught her round the waist in an indecent manner, and sought to detain her ' • but, although greatly frightened and shocked at the instant, she broke from him by main force, and ran back as far as Bury-street, where, having closely pursued, he came up with her, and would, no doubt, again have grossly insulted her, but that police-constable No. 173, of the C division, came up at the instant and protected her. The constable stated that Miss 111 4 Kenzie was in a very frightened and exhausted state, and obliged to support her self by leaning against the side of one of the houses. The defendant said he had made a mistake in the party, and on his telling him he ought to apologise if he had insulted the lady, he said, " What ! I apologise for insulting a beastly woman ?" and afterwards called the complainant a d—d nasty, stinking, beastly, common w—, on which he was taken into custody. The defendant said he was very sorry if he had misbe haved himself, but the fact was he supposed he had taken a glass of wine too - much. Mr. MALTBY said his conduct was scandalous and dis graceful in the extreme. He was fined 51., or one month's imprisonment with hard labour.—The fine was immediately paid. The Rev. Thomas Hanbury, from Oxfordshire, and a rector belonging to the Established Church, was charged with hav ing been found at half-past 11 o'clock last night in Bury street, St. James's, so beastly drunk that he was quite inca pable of taking care of himself; be was, therefore, locked up in the, station-house. The defendant was fined 15s. for being drunk, which he directly paid and was discharged. This is his fourth appearance before this Court within the last three years, on charges of drunken, disorderly, and riotous conduct in the public streets at midnight, in some instances, accom panied with violent assaults. The fines imposed on those occasions, were SL, 3L, and 2/. which he instantly paid ; he appears to be about sixty years of age. CLERKENWELL.-(T HIS DAY.) Peter Jowett, a spruce-looking young fellow, was charged with being riotous, and ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bowna, a surgeon, residing at No. 12, Chartcrhouse-square. It appearct from the evidence that Mr. Bownd has a pretty servant-girl, to whom the prisoner has been for some time paying his addresses. On the previous evening he adjourned from a public-house to the front of the complainant's resi dence, to which he laid siege, very vigorously knocking at the door and ringing the bell, so as to disturb and alarm all the inmates, particularly " Mary," who felt quite abashed at these violent and uncouth demonstrations of the affection of her admirer. Remonstrance was useless—he must see " Mary;" but " Mary" would not see hint, so he was formally introduced to a police•constable, who conducted him to the stati6n-house. The prisoner, whose subdued and sheepish look fully ex emplified the words of the Irish song— " Love so hot will soon grow cool again," declared he was very sorry for what had taken place. Mr. COMBE fined him 11., or three weeks' imprisonment. Mr. Bowna—l am authorised by the girl to pay the fine, whatever it is. • Mr. ComßE—Then let herself come and pay it. Mr. Jowett was locked up. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Daw, Robert Billars,and William Blick, three re spectable tradesmen, and Charles Price, an omnibus ariver, were charged with assaulting James Flamanck, a carpenter, residing at No. 4, ibury-square, Pimlico, and his friend Philip Cornish, in the Harcourt Arms public house, Har court-street, Paddington. The complainants said that they had gone into the skittle ground, and after playing a few games they offered the 'loan who had put up the pins 2d., and the prisoners, who were there, but the door, and said they ought to pay the man 6d. They (complainants) got frightened, and went into the par lour, and there the assault complained of was committed. Daw and Price were poiiti;•ely sworn to, but the Corn plainanta couldnot identify - Billars andßlick as having struck them—t hey were, therefore, discharged and Mr. Rawlinson ordered the prisoners Daw and Pricelo fiiid bail for their ap pearance at the sessions, if an indictment were preferred against them, The parties then went outside, but, in a short time the complainants returned, and said that the prisoners were willing to give 21. to the poor-box, if they (the com plainants) forebore ulterior proceedings. - With the Magis trate's leave, they would wish the prisoners to be discharged. On those conditions, Mr. RAWLINSON consented,' and the money was at once paid. Nary Ana Davis, a lady's-maid, was charged by her late mistress with having robbed her of a valuable lava brooch, in a gold setting, and other articles. A duplicate'for the above article was found in the prisoner's possession. Mrs. Storer, 5, Hyde Park-street, identified the brooch as her property. Prisoner—That brooch I bought from a Jew pedlar in the New-read. He asked ss. for, it, and I gave him 2s. 6d. for it Mr. Storer produced a bracelet belonging to the same set, and the brooch was found' to .mate,'. They had been got from Naples, and were very rare. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.). William Cole, iyoung_man with a Scar across his nose ,was charged with committing a-♦iolent assault on his father the preceding day. It appeared the defendant is the son of highly respectable parents, who some time since furnished him with a situation on board an Indianian, but his conduct was so bad that ho was dismissed.' Since then he has been leading an idle, dis solute life; and a shOrt time ago was committed-to the teunty gaol for assaulting - his father. Yesterday the prisoner was liberated from gaol, and he immediately commenced knock ing at his father%idoor, and wanted to force his way into the house, and behaved in such a violent way that it was deemed necessary to send for a policeman. Enraged at this circum stance, the prisdner attacked his father, striking him, and also a gentleman who interfered for his protection. The prisoner. in a most impudent manner, contended that he had a just right to seek shelter under his father's roof, but this being denied, he was compelled to resort to force for the purpose. Mr. TRAILL said, the prisoner being of age, he bad no claim upon his father, particularly as he had forfeited it by his scandalous conduct. With a view, therefore, to put a stop to the prisoner's violence, he should' find two sureties of 501. each to keep the peace, and be imprisoned until such sureties: were found. - lliam Smith, a hulking 7 looking fellow, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of plate glass, value 4/., in the wijl. dow of Messrs. Gregory and Rackman, in the Westminster road. The prisoner deliberately took up a stone, and, throwing it with all his force against a pane of glass, exclaimed, " I did it to be sent to gaol !" Mr. 'hum, asked the prisoner why he committed such a wilful act as destroying glass to the amount of 41., belonging to a man who had given him no cause for doing such injury? Prisoner—l have been starving about the streets, and thought that was the best way to get shelter in a gaol. Mr. TRAILL, having condemned the conduct of the de fendant, inflicted a penalty of 41. on Min, and in default com mitted him to gaol. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

North British 3, North Midland 89, Paris and Lyons 3, South-Eastern 36*. In sorzbe of the letters received by the last. mail from the Brazils, an impression is said to exist that the new Ministry, if they should continue in office, will propose some more libe ral measures as respects the duties upon the admission of British goods. Should, as is reported, the Chancellor of the Exchequer favour the Brazilians as to .the sugar duties, the completion of a new treaty of commerce more favourable to our manufactures, would be of easy accomplishment. There is, it is said, an anxious desire on the part of the Brazilian Government to carry out a liberal treaty with this country, if but a slight concession is made by the Bri tish Cabinet. The papers and letters received from the United States to day, teem with remarks and forebodings on the Texas ques tion, and, as giving the best information of its commercial bearings, we extract the following : " The public mind is at this moment somewhat agitated in relation to the annexation of Texas to the United States, as the importance of that event depends in a great measure on the trade and commerce existing between Mexico, Texas, and the United States. The amount of merchandise ex ported from the United States into Texas is not very small compared with our trade with Mexico ; but when we take into consideration the age and resources of the two countries, it will appear surprising that Texas should, in so short a time, have become so good a customer. Under the fostering care of our Government, the resources of that country must become more rapidly developed than while weighed down by war and poverty. The population of Texas at present is very limited, and the uncertainty that hangs over the ex istence of that Republic, prevents emigrants from settling on its soil. Remove this obstacle, and we have no doubt people from all parts of the world will settle within the limits of that fine country. It is, without doubt, tke best cotton growing country in existence. The climate is favourable to the pro, dactioa of every variety of food. "The imports into Texas from the United States have in creased very rapidly up to the last returns, having nearly quadrupled, while the exports to the United States have fallen off from 1,687,082 dollars to 406,929 dollars—a decrease of 300 per cent. in four years." The tariff alterations, as might be supposed, were not palatable to all, and we are informed, that meet ings had been held in different parts of the country to adopt measures to prevent, if possible, any alteration in the existing tariff laws. The largest was holden in Phila delphia on the 25th ult., which was called by the ma nufacturers of that district. It was decided, on the spot, that the present Act regulating duties was perfect in Milts features—that is, in the minds of a majority of those present. It was, in fact, as we are assured, a poli tical meeting in every particular, and consequently does not deserve to be considered as representing the views of the commercial interests. The Funds are rather brisk this morning, and a good general business doing. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 1001 I, and for Account the same. Exchequer Bills have been 745. to 755. premium. The Commissioners have purchased 30,0061. in Reduced at 991. Bank Stock is rather lower, owing to a sale made, being 2001 to 199. East India Stock realises 293 to 294, being steady. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents. are 104 A to 1034. The settlement of the Foreign account is proceeding steadily. Spanish is rather lower upon it, as the "Bears" have it this time. The Five per Cents. are 26 to 261, and the Three per Cents. 34 to 371. The Passive Stock is Q.
