SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, IRON THE EVENING PIPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.--THE REVENUE.—The Rave • nue for the Quarter and Financial Year, ending to-day will be made up this evening, and we rejoice in being able to state, that from the accounts already received, it is likely to show an increase on the quarter, as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, and on the year a considerable increase. In the important item of Excise on the year there is, we believe, au increase of about 400,0001. The Customs also, we under stand, will exhibit an increase on the year of nearly half a million. In the Stamps there is a small decrease on the quarter. The Property and Income-tax remains much the same, averagin g ; something - more than 1,260,0001. the quarter. In the Assessed Taxes a slight decrease is anticipated. The Post-office returns, it is ex pected, will not materially differ from former quarters ; and the returns from the other branches of the revenue are considered to be satisfactory. On the whole, the aspect of the revenue for the last year is most gratifyin g . It shows a gradual increase in the trade ancom merce of the country, and will, we believe, exhibit a surplus. The revenue for the year ending to-day will, it is confidently expected, exceed the expenditure of the country ; but the exact amount is not yet known, as some of the returns from the public departments have not yet been completed. GLOBE.—It may relieve," says the Herald, " the perturbation into which the excellent article on " The Causes of Distress and Sys- I tematic Colonisation," in the Foreign and Colo nial Review, has thrown the Globe, if we state at once that Mr. Gladstone has no claims to its paternity. That the Globe, of all papers, should have fallen into so patent an error will amuse the initiated. Our Contemporary needs, we fear, instruction on other subjects besides Brazilian politics." The Globe has an un lucky adhesiveness to its principles, which, we don't doubt, " amuses the initiated ;" and it follows naturally, that when one of its old friends gets into such shocking bad company as that of the Morning Herald and the Foreign and Colonial Quarterly Review, the Globe is not the first quarter to which he announces his deplorable condescension. For the rest, on whatever subjects we may happen to require in formation from the now official Herald, we shall no longer look for any satisfaction from that guar teras to anypractical results whatever from the pre tended " reciprocity " commercial policy of the present Government. We were led to expect marvellous things not lon g back, in the way of r e ciprocity. Prosperity Freddy was to be no thing to Reciprocity Bobby. Now behold the upshot ! One nation alone has sent its repre sentatives to us to offer reciprocity. We would not take it—we would move no finger to preserve, upon equitable terms, a commerce, the value of which has been estimated from three to five. millions annually. The envoy of Brazil has gone back to study the part of a Roland for our Oliver. We, on the other hand, have gone about pressing something we called reciprocity on continental customers, whom we had previously forced to become ma nufacturing rivals. We have taken nothing by our motion—except dragging the name of Eng land through the dirt—incurring the moun tebank shame of puffing to others nostrums we eschew ourselves. We, examples of free trade to the world —we, whose present Admi nistration has taken up anew, with such admired variations of absurdity, the old song of colonial all-sufficiency —the old Spanish scorn of aliens ! There is a want of honest and single purpose in the commercial measures of this Ministry, which renders their vaunts of li beral example to all nations simply disgusting. They had their organs everlastingly blowing hot and cold with one breath. We have a right to regard the Foreign and Colonial Quarterly on these matters as their organ, whether Mr. Glad stone or more recent recruits write their " excel lenelucubrations. Well, that organ, as Nye showed yesterday, with wonderful assurance throws the blame upon foreigners for the failure (hither to) of foreign commerce to supply the deficien cies of our home-growth of agricultural produce ! It talks of " the erroneous policy of the agricul tural States," as the cause which " prevents the increasing capital of the agricultural States from being employed in raising increased quantities of raw produce, to be exchanged against the increased quantity of manufac tured goods brought to market by the more rapidly increasing capital of England." The erroneous policy of the great agricultural States! At what period, past or present, leave we given " the great agricultural States" a chance of regu larly supplying us their staples of raw produce ? Excepting the hemp and tallow of Russia (whose policy in commerce, as elsewhere, is a thing sui generis), what great agricultural State have we suffered to engage in reciprocal commercial dealings with us ? Has not the possibility of such reciprocity been the great bugbear of our land owners'? Has not the express scope of our corn and timber laws been to keep out their raw pro duce Has it not been by painful persuasion of political leaders less insane than their rank and tile of adherents, that even a sliding scale was at length substituted for total prohibition of the most important raw produce till i t readied starving prices? The other Foreign Quarterly Review (not Mr. Gladstone's own) has an interesting article on M. Tegoborski's " Finances and Public Credit of Austria." We find this official Austrian writer advocating the retention of some system of re striction on the very grounds which the English corn-laws have rendered too legitmate these thirty years ! "He quotes unhappy Poland," observes the Foreign Quarterly Reviewer, "and with justice states that she had nothing to export but corn, and could not cultivate that upon the mere hazard of abaci. harvestin England. Justly does the author ask to what end an agricultural country is to go on producing corn without a market, and whether creating a manufacturing population to consume is not a wise measure." Good Heaven ! and here was our " manufac turing population" ready created " to consume" —and here is Mr. Gladstone's organ, if not Mr. Gladstone himself, declaring that nothing but lack of raw produce as returns for its goods is what causes its sufferings—here was a bread-store provided for English operatives—a market for Polish tillers—and why (lid not these markets—sufficient to each others' wants—find each other out ? Because that party, with which Mr. Gladstone and his new auxiliaries act, without thinking with them, enacted laws expressly to prevent the one surplus produce being exchanged for the other. Because there was nothing our senators feared so intensely as the realisation of that abundant access to raw pro duce,which the Gladstone Quarterly now says was of all things most to be wished. Truly the Gladstone satellite sees the right, while he seconds the wrong. He sees what would have saved us our chronic malaise—but lie won't see before him. Accordingly, he throws the whole blame, forsooth, upon foreign countries; as if our conduct in refusing what we wanted, and they had to give, had no share in perverting their policy. And he gives no hint of repairing that grand pri mary crime and blunder. As if our total refusal of a regular trade in that vital article were not enough to neutralise the whole effect of the mighty liberality of the Peel tariff on some seven hundred minor points, which not a soul, here or elsewhere, ever thought about. But we say, in the face of the Peel parasites who conduct the few journals faithful to the grand principle of the See-saw, which is the only one discernible in their measures—that the language and conduct of these men do not set foreigners any good example what ever. They are continually oscillating between doctrines of free trade and colonial preference — holding out " reciprocity " with one hand, and sacrificing it to monopoly with the other. The last new nostrum is the all-sufficiency of colonial trade. We are in the fair way to teach all our colo nies the lesson we taught those we lost. We arc in the fhir way to teach them those peddling notions of this or that petty preference—of this or that privileged production —as preferable to free com mercial interchange. We are setting up normal • schools of future restriction against ourselves. We teach young colonies to lisp monopoly. Old colonies improve the lesson against ourselves. Indeed we need not wait colonial independence to observe the application of that lesson. 'We may soon experience Canadian gratitude for the monopoly of our American corn trade. STATE OF TRADE. The opening of the present year affords a pleasing prospect for the commercial i nterest ; there seems ever y probability of a large business, and the chance of profit is greater than has been afforded during the last few years. Yet we have no ground for supposing that every difficulty is over ; and we, in great measure, alt.ibutie the improved appearance of mercantile operations just riew rather to increased caution and diminished expenditure in e‘ery branch of our import and export trade, than to any actual alteratitth in our rela tions with foreign countries. We have, eating the past twelve months, been enabled to ship manu factured goods at lower rates than at auy previous period. The expenses of manufacturing are reduced by the improvements of machinery, and low prices have induced continued large orders from those markets which are the principal recipients of our *sports ; but one fact must be borne in mind—it is n proportion heavy goods, requiring but a small amoun t of labour from the operative in comparison with finer fabrics , whic h used to form theinost conspicuous part of almost every invoice. Some important alterations of the tariff are justly expected during the ensuing session. The great benefits that were to ac crue from last year's measures have not yet been experienced; but, in one instance, where a leading article in every house hold was attacked, and the duty placed on anew footing, great indeed has been the advantage—we allude to coffee, the con sumption of which is rapidly increasing under the influence of reduced prices. In this case, too, the West India interest is still protected, at an enormous cost to the consumer, but the system is not carried out to that absurd and abominable length which precluded the pos sibilit y of adm ission to foreign sugar until the consumer has to pay uniepence per pound for the brownest description that the West Indies afford ; then, and not till th en, under the pres ent system, . . any relief afforded, and then onl y to prevent prices going higher. Let slave-grown sugar be placed on the same footing as slave grown coffee ; and great will be the change ; but let us go further, and treat it as we do slave-grown tobacco, and the re venue would receive an addition in the shape of duty of not less than five millions sterling per annum. Let us have some analogy in our fiscal regulations, and we shall immediately have our commerce established on the best foundations. During the week there has been again some excitement in the cotton market; speculators will not leave business to its natural level, and even in the face of an addition of 30,000 bales to the supposed stock, arising from some miscalculation in the weekly estimates, discovered when the actual stock in the port was collected, there has been a great business, at rather im proved prices. Money is cheap, and if it is to be thrown into such channels as the cotton market, it will indeed be found tou plentiful, and may probably materially affect our manufacturing trade. In all branches of business there is more disposition to get into stock on the part of buyers; a favourable view is taken of produce generally, and prices are considered safe. The Share Market continues lively, and most of the leading stock is bought up at still improving prices. The advance that has taken place in shares during the last few months is very great, and, at present prices, it is difficult to obtain more than 4 to 4fr per cent.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool, still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste, in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty Girls of Stilberg, and both have been applauded to the echo. Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,003 persons have paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written from Donizetti's Opera of La F ille du Regiment, as Mr. Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The Merry Wives of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett 1 1 will enact the Merry Wives. THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER AND THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. We hare just heard a rumour, to the effect that the Mar quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, accompanied by the munificent subscription of 500/., in aid of the Great League Fund. If this should be true, it will be another very " great fact" for the Times, falling like a thunderbolt amongst the monopolists, who plead the absolute necessity of a continuance of the corn-laws, as a means of providing for their mortgages and marriage settlements. The Noble Marquis is one of the greatest landowners, and most opulent noblemen in the kingdom, and so munificent and practical a protest against the iniquitous corn-laws, as that which he is reported to have made, would, in conjunction with those of Earl Spencer, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Ducie, and other distinguished Peers and agriculturists, Ise the death-knell of monopoly.— Liverpool Mercury.

This building, which is situated in the Westminster-road, near the Blind Asylum and Uethlehem Hospital, is rapidly approaching completion. The foundation-stone was laid in April, 1840. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice devoted to the Roman Catholic worship that has been constructed since the Reformation, when henry VIII. destroyed and reduced the majority of the Catholic establishments. Its external dimensions are 250 long, by 84 feet wide. The height of the tower at the west end at present is 60 feet, but when com pleted its extreme elevation will be 339 feet above the ground level. The tower is most substantially built of Caen stone, its walls averaging nine feet in thickness. The tower will he surmounted by a steeple, built after the pattern of the spire of Salisbury Cathedral, and will be termi nated by a large cross. The interior height of the church, from floor to ceiling, is 57 feet. The length of the nave in the clear is 160 feet, by 72 feet broad; the chancel is 40 feet long by 26 feet broad. The chancel window is very large, measuring 30 feet by IS feet ; the mullions are of oak, with rich foliage ; the interstices will be filled with stained glass of various colours, containing an emblematical representation of the history and passion of our Lord. It is the gift of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and will cost 5001. The church contains, in all, 28 win dows. The roof is constructed of carved, stained tim ber, which will be stencilled in various colours and devices. It is supported by two rows of fluted stone pillars, consisting of eight in each row. The pillars are eighteen feet in height, and will be finished by capitals elaborately wrought in tine stone, carved in rich foliage, and connected one with another by small intercolumniations, in the form of arches, rising from the capitals to the rafters. The floor of the nave and aisles will be covered with red and blue Staffordshire tiles, each tile measuring six inches in the square. The interior of the Church is not obstructed by galleries ; the only projections are the organ-loft and two sting galleries for the choir over the two side doorways at the east end. No pews or closed seats will be allowed, but open benches will be placed down the aisles, constructed with low backs, so as to afford an unobstructed view of the interior. The seats will yield ample accommoda tion fur 5,000 persons. The bare cost of erecting the cathedral will be 40,000/., but it is expected that a sum of 100,0001. will be necessary to complete all the contemplated embellishments and improvements. At the east end of the church is a large sacristy, and adjoin ing, at the north-east corner, are cloisters, which connect the edifice with a presbytery, containing a spacious dining-room, and affording accommodation for several priests. Abutting on this is a convent for the Sisters of Mercy, and a school for 300 children. The convent is fitted up with kitchens, refectory, dormitories, a small chapel with a belfry, and will furnish an abode for thirteen Sisters of Mercy, whose charity and kind offices will be distributed indiscriminately among the members of all religious denominations who may need assistance. The convent, with its accompanying buildings, will cost 7,000/. The entire edifice is built from the design of Mr. Pugin, under the superintendence of Mr. Myers, who, during the last ten years, has been engaged in the construction of 37 churches. The cathedral will be consecrated and opened for public worship in the autumn of the present year ; but a considerable time must necessarily elapse before the great tower and spire shall be completed. The subscriptions to wards this great undertaking have, for the most part, been raised in the provinces through the exertions of the Reve rend Mr. Doyle, who is the principal officiating priest. The Earl of Shrewsbury and the late Mr. Benjamin George Hodges have been the principal contributors. A considerable sum has also been subscribed by the poorer classes inhabiting the parish of St. George. The names of the King of Sardinia, the King of Bohemia, and other foreign Potentates, also figure largely in the list of contributors. A liberal donation is ex pected from Louis Philippe, the King of the French, who, during his stay in England, was a resident of St. George's parish. The cathedral is the largest structure in Great Bri tain that has been erected by voluntary subscriptions. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

This after noon at public sale Barbadces Sugar went with spirit at prices fully I s per cwt above those of the last auction ; fine yellow fetched 66s to 675, good 64s to 64s 6d, and middling 63s to 63s 6d per cwt • 144 hhds 29 brls of St Lucia all sold, and supported the rates paid by private contract ; good middling yellow fetched 59s 6d, middling 58s Gd, low 56s 6d to 57s 6d, good brown 55s Gd to 565, middling 555, low soft 545, washed and shifted 56s 6d to 58s 6d per cwt.

CHARGE OF MURDER.— Samuel Maddocks, ageds.3, was charged with the wilful murder of one Matthias Bailey, game • keeper to Mr. Wilbraham, at Cuddington. The Attorney-General, Mr. Townsend, and Mr. Egerton, were for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Temple. It appeared that the prisoner was a tailor, and lived with his brother, who is a farmer, in the vicinity of the place where the murder was committed. The deceased was gamekeeper to Mr. Wilbraham, of Delamere-hall, and had frequently suspected the prisoner of poaching. On the 28th of July, the deceased went out about 4 o'clock with his gun, and John, the brother of the prisoner, was seen soon after running without a gun, the deceased running after. It was the habit of the deceased to pull off his coat and throw down his gun on those occasions, to enable him to run faster. The prisoner had a gun, and when the deceased was running after his brother, it was alleged that the prisoner came behind the deceased, and discharged the gun, the charge of :which penetrated the nape of the neck ; he in stantly fell and died. The principal witness in the case was Joseph Clarke, who, upon examination before the Magistrates. had sworn to have been an eye-witness of the murder. Several witnesses were called on to prove the state in which the body was found. Joseph Clarke then deposed—l am a labourer, residing in Noxley. I remember getting up on the 28th of July to get turnips ; it was about half-past three o'clock. I met Matthias Bailey at Smallbrook, about four o'clock. I knew Bailey be fore, and I asked him to give me leave to get some turnips from Mr. Wilbraham's field that was alongside Camomile-lane, where the murder was committed. Bailey and I parted at the turnip field gate. Bailey went along the woodside when he parted from me. I heard the report s,f a gun shortly after; it came from the direction in which the body lay. In five minutes I saw Samuel Maddocks coming down the lane into the turnip field. He had a gun with him. As soon as he saw me he laid himself down. I was then 100 yards from him, and then I saw Bailey running down the lane, and as he was going past Samuel Maddocks, the latter rose up, clapped his g , ,n to his shoulder, and shot him. lie was about two yards past him when the prisoner fired. He was running very fast. He did not run above a yard or two afterwards, but the hedge inter cepted my view, and I did not see any more. The prisoner then jumped over the hedge, and ran down the lane. I did not speak at all. I stopped about fire minutes, pulled a few plants, and then went home. I did not say anything about it. I have known the prisoner a great while. I did not attend the inquest. I heard of a reward being offered soon afterwards. I gave no information of what I had seen. I first gave informa tion three weeks ago last Saturday. 1 did not give informa tion at the time, as I wanted to let it stop till near the assizes. I gave it to Mr. Wilbraham. I went myself. I heard of the Maddockses being taken up about a week after the murder. 1 have never had any quarrel with either of them. Cross-examined by Mr. TEAIPLE.—I never told any person until I told Mr. Wilbraham. I don't usually get up at 3. I got up to pull some plants without leave. I have never shot beforo o'clock in a morning in my life upon my oath. I will swear I went on picking turnips after I saw the shot fired. I walked home and did not speak. 1 did not go to the place. I saw the gun fired. I know Humphreys; he went with my brother Samuel to Mr. Willbraham's, and I know the account they gave of it. Ido not know who told me ; my brother did not. They said I did it. I did not tell my brother that the keeper was running after me, and I then charged my gun with shot out of my pocket. 1 did not tell him that the keeper called out my name. I did no:: say that when the keeper said " You must come and go will me," that I then walked down the lane, that the keeper walked first a little, and I then put a cap on, and shot him, and that the keeper dropped when he was shot. On being asked whether he hail given information on account of the reward, he said, " I do care about the re ward, it belongs to me already for telling the truth. Ido care about getting myself out of the scrape. lam out of it. I was taken up and confined half an hour in a public-house, and then released:. Thomas Pickering deposed to hearing a gun fired about 4 o'clock, and on looking in the direction saw a man come out of the wheat, but could not tell who he was, on account of the thstanee. He heard a shout from the deceased ; he said, " That's you,.;John." He could not undertake to swear that it might not be " Joe," instead of " John." James Rowland, a shepherd, saw tracts out of the lane into a turnip field. The prisoner and his nephew were working there. Frederick Baker, special high-constable, apprehended the prisoner on the sth of August. On the road the prisoner said he could clear himself from this. He could prove he was never out of his bed until after six that morning. He said that neither himself nor any of his family had borrowed a gun. Three witnesses were then examined, who swore that on going to work that morning at about half-past five o'clock they met the prisoner, and spoke to him. C Libel-me Lewis remembered the deceased and the prisoner meeting at her house, where they had words. This was not long before he was shot. The deceased d—d the prisoner, and said he was the worst poacher he had about. The prisoner as soon as he was gone, said he would shoot him if ever he came across him. He repeated his threat twice. Mary Robinson examined—The prisoner came to her house to do some tailoring. Whilst there the prisoner saw the de ceased in a field. He said he wanted shoatinff. Prisoner said he was once lying in a ditch, and the deceased and his clog went over him. If he had had a gun then he would have shot him. Maria Gresby—Recollected John Maddock's daughter touring to her father's house. She asked her to go to Thomas Cook tor her. Thomas Cook brought out a bag and gave it to her, and she gave it to Maddocks's daughter. Thomas Cook remembered the last witness coming to his house. There was a gun in the bag. Maddock's daughter wanted t• borrow it for her father. The gun was returned on the 4th of August, by Mary Maddocks, and she said her father was much obliged for it. Samuel Smith, surgeon, deposed to an examination of the body, and finding a gun-shot wound on the nape of the neck. The orifice was as large as a crown-piece. He afterwards made a post mortem examination when the body was much decom posed, and extracted two shots from the spinal marrow, between the first and second vertebrae. Death, he should think, would be instantaneous, from paralysis. The wound must have been received from behind. James Bland, surgeon to the Macclesfield Infirmary—A per son might run several yards, even if the spinal marrow was divided. This was the ease for the prosecution. Mr. TEMPLE addressed the jury in a long and powerful speech f•r the prisoner, contending that the evidence was most vague and unsatisfactory ; and, with regard to the witness Clarke, not to be relied upon for a moment. The Learned JUDGE then went into an analysis of the whole of the evidence, commenting upon the discrepancies as they arose. Ile said, the whole weight of the testimony rested with the witness Clarke, and it was for them to consider what credi bility, if any, attached to his evidence. The jury retired, and were absent for about 29 minutes, during which a statement was made by Mr. Wilbraham, who was in Court, which affected materially the truth of Clarke's statement. Mr. TEMPLE, for the prisoner, hoped his Lordship would interrupt the deliberation of the jury, so as to give the prisoner the benefit of this piece of evidence. Joseph Clarke was recalled. By the JUDGE—Did you go to Mr. Wilbrabam's in Sep tember last ?-1 don't know what port of the year September is in, and I never told Mr. Wilbraham that 1 knew nothing about the matter. Mr. Wilbraham examined—Did the witness come to you in September about the story which his brother had told the night before ?—I think he came voluntarily. I asked him if he knew anything about it, and he replied thathe knew nothing about it. The jury then again retired, and, after an absence of an hour, returned with a verdict of Not Guilty. The announcement was received wish loud cheers, which were promptly suppressed. John Ready, a collector of rents in Macclesfield, was ar raigned for divers embezzlements, of the moneys of James Frost, and others. He pleaded Guilty. The Counsel for the defence wished to recommend the pri soner to the merciful consideration of the Court. He had been a Captain in the army for 23 years, and hail risen from the ranks to be Captain and Adjutant by his merits. He had also been a collector for 20 years, and his friends had offered to make good the default. He was 66 years of age.—Sentence deferred. _ _ CHARGE OF MIURRER AT STOCKPORT.— George For, a bai liff at Manchester, was then indicted fur the wilful murder of his wife Charlotte, by kicking and otherwise abusing her, which cats.ed her death. The Attorney-General and Mr. Trafford were for the pro secution ; Mr. Temple was retained for the defence. It appeared that the deceased was a bonnet-maker, residing in Stockport. On the Ist of December the prisoner went out from home early in the morning, and did not return until ten o'clock at night ;he was somewhat intoxicated. His conduct was brutaL When he came home he said to deceased, " You have been drinking at the Robin Hood." She denied it. He said he would fetch a Bible, and make her swear to it. Dur ing hit, absence, finding him infuriated, she ran out of the house, and her mother persuaded him to go to bed. She then came in, thinking the prisoner would be asleep; but he then came down stairs again, and she again left the house, and, being very cold, went into the Robin Hood and called for a noggin of gin. When she was about to return home, the pri soner was waiting for her at the door, and he commenced beating her. She ran away screaming, and went into the house of a neighbour, The prisoner followed and beat her dreadfully, and kicked her brutally several times; and in her endeavours to release herself by going up the steps, he caught hold of her gown and pulled her backwards, and, falling on the stones, shestruck her head, and never afterwards spoke. The prisoner after wards with great brutality would not go for a doctor, and said she was not dead. He had been heard to say, when an inquiry was made for his wife, that he wished she was stiff. Betty Day, mother of the deceased, proved the whole of these allegations, which were mainly supported by the testi mony of other witnesses. The Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter, and The Learned JUDGB sentenced him to two years' imprison ment with hard labour. CARMARTHEN ASSIZES, Jan. 1. THE REBECCA RIOTS. His Lordship entered the Court at nine o'clock this morning. Thomas Hand, David Thomas, David Gower, David Williams, and William Thomas, were placed at the bar, charged with riotously and feloniously demolishing a house at Kidwelly. There was a sec o nd cou n t in the indictment for a riot only. All the prisoners pleaded " Not guilty." His LORDSHIP add resse d the jury, and said that this was an indictment that had been found at the quarter sessions and re mitted to the assizes for trial. The case had been carefully examined, and counsel and he also had read over the deposi tions, and it was thought that the evidence did not bring home the charge. He had therefore been applied to to allow the prosecution to be abandoned. This, he thought, could be done without prejudice to public justice, and the jury would, there fore, return a verdict of acquittal. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty accordingly, and the prisoners were discharged. SENTENCES ON THE PRISONERS. John domes, alias Shony Seybor-fawr, and David Davies, alias Dai-y- Cantwr, were then placed in the dock. Jones immediately handed up a letter to his Lordship. Hi 3 LORDSHIP, addressing them , said that the prisoner John Jones had been convicted of shooting at a fellow-subject with the intention of doing him a grievous bodily harm, and had also pleaded guilty to a charge of riotously a nd tumultuousl y demolishing a' house. The Court had but too much reason to suppose that he was implicated in other offences of the same c h ar acter as both of these. The prisoner David Davies had pleaded guilty to a charge of demolishing a house with o thers, and his Lordship knew from his own statement that he had been guilty of many similar outrages. As far the Court was able to judge from the facts that had been laid before it, they we re both strangers to this part of the co u n try. What - induced them to visit it his Lordship knew not, but it was rather curious that their appearance was noticed here not long after the commencement of those outrages by which this county had been disgraced. Whatever had been the motives that had actuated them, they appeared to have been willing agents, and had not been seduced into a breach of the law. The prisoner John Jones might feel grateful that the shot he fired did not take a fatal effect, as, if it had, instead of the Court passing on him a sentence of banishment from the country, it would have been obliged to pass the dreadful sentence of a violent death ; but after the proof the prisoner had given of the disregard lie entertained for the safety of his fellows and the rights of property in this country, it would be utterly impossible for him ever to return to it. The prisoner David Davies would not be banished for so long a term, but still for a very long period of time ; although pro bably the greater portion of his life would be spent in a foreign land. The sentence of the Court was that John Jones be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life, and that David Davies be transported for twenty years. The prisoners, who had been very attentive to the Learned Judge's address, were then removed . frem the dock, which they left laughing. Philip Phillip and William Phillip were then brought up to receive sentence. His LORDSHIP said, that the prisoners Philip Phillip and William Phillip were now to receive sentence for the very serious offence of which they had been found guilty—of a riot and assault on the person of a bailiff who came to a distrain on the premises of William Phillip. It was a sad thing to see such an old man, the father and his sun, brought up together to receive sentence for an offence of this description. It ap peared to have been committed, not hastily or unadvisedly, but it seemed that the prisoners prepared to do it deliberately, and even threatened the bailiff on the day before. The sen tence of the Court was, that William Phillip be imprisoned for twelve months and kept to hard labour ; and that Philip Philip be imprisoned for twelve months. David Evans and James Evans were then placed at the bar to receive sentence. The JUDGE said—That the prisoners David Evans and James Evans were brought before the Court to receive sen tence for a riot—a riot attended with circumstances of very great cruelty to a very old man, who had since in some man ner or other lost his life. They armed and disguised them. selves, and conducted themselves in such a way as to excite terror and alarm in the minds of all peaceable subjects, and proceeded to drag the old man out of his bed in the dead of the night, and James Evans personally ill-used him. The jury recommended him to mercy, and his Lordship strongly wished he could think it was on good grounds. One reason was that James Evans was a servant, and might have been influenced by his master. He knew not, however, how the jury could consistently recommend him to mercy on the ground that, as he was a servant, he might have been influenced by his master, and could then recommend the master himself to mercy. Some of the jurors said they had always heard he possessed a good character. If he had hitherto possessed a good charac ter, it was, his Lordship feared, because the truth was not known of him. The defence he had set up proved his charac ter anything but good. The exhibition of his poor little trem bling brother• and sister in the witness-box was most revolting and shocking. The act of violence was bad enough, but the betrayal of his relatives into such p position was much worse. His Lordship was sadly afraid that people did not look with sufficient abhorrence on the crime of perjury. There was no crime more injurious to society, or mere perversive of the pro per administration of justice. Who could be safe if witnesses would come to a court of justice, and call on God to bear wit ness to a falsehood? The Court did not punish him for this, ' however, but his Lordship mentioned it to show why he did not take the recommendation to mercy into consideration. The sentence of the Court was, that each of the prisoners be impri soned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar months. David Morgan, James Morga:4, George Thomas, John Lewis, and Lean Walters, were arraigned on a charge of bur glariously entering the dwelling-house of Evan Davies, of Llanarthney, and feloniously stealing a sword. No evidence of the felony was offered on the part of the pro secution, and a verdict of Not guilty against all the prisoners was recorded. The same prisoners were then indicted for the misdemeanor of a riot. All of them, except David Morgan, pleaded guilty. No evidence was offered against him, and he was discharged; the others were also discharged, on being bound over to keep the peace, and to appear to receive judgment whenever called upon. Thomas Davis, a smith, charged with having broken into the house of William Thomas, of Maesbach, Llangendeime, was acquitted. David Jones, a farmer, was charged with attempting to suborn and instigate one Daniel Lloyd to commit wilful and corrupt perjury. There was another count for attempting to suppress evidence. It appeared that Daniel Lloyd was about to give evidence on a charge of assault preferred against John Thomas; the pri soner, David Jones, gave Lloyd a sovereign to withhold his evidence against John Thomas. The prisoner was found guilty of attempting to withhold evi dance, and His Loansirte, in passing sentence, said the jury had taken a very merciful view of his case. Had they found him guilty of attempting to persuade the witness to commit perjury he would certainly have been transported. It was of the utmost importance to the administration of justice that witnesses should be allowed to state fully and freely the whole truth on their oaths. It was of the utmost importance to the welfare of society that such should be the case. The prisoner had en deavoured to subvert the the due performrnce of that duty, and should be made an example of. He was then sentenced to 12 mouths' imprisonment. James Evans was then placed in the dock to receive sen tence for assaulting his wife in Newcastle Emlyn. He was sen tenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve ca lendar months. William Williams was sentenced to six months' imprisonment fora riot at Pentrebach turnpike-gate. David Jones was brought up to receive sentence for haling sent a threatening letter to Mr. T. Williams, of Llanegwad. His Loansittr said that the jury had recommended him to mercy on account of his ignorance of the consequences of send ing such a letter. On a consideration of the case, his Lord • ship could not think that it was well founded. He bad com mitted this sort crime before, and had used threats in the pre sence of Mr. H. Lloyd Harris, a solicitor, who very kindly cautioned him. It would be well for him had he attended to his advice. The sentence of the Court was, that he be impri soned for nine calendar months. Bridzet Williams was brought up to receive sentence for sending a threatening letter. His LORDSHIP said that the verdict and recommendation of the prisoner to mercy were very proper and just. She could neither read nor write, and he was disposed to believe that some wicked and ill-natured persons put it into her head to send it, she not knowing the consequences. She was then sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Lewis Henry, for the robbery at Gaterven, near Abergwilly, was sentenced to ten years' transportation. His LORDSHIP observed that the prisoner had had the hardi hood deliberately to tell the policemen that he would commit the robbery. He was unfit for the society of this country, and must therefore be removed. Several prosecutions for breaking down gates and for riots were abandoned. His LORDSHIP then dismissed the petit jury, and the assizes terminated. His Lordship left town that night. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MA:VSION-HOUSE. William Christey, a Customhouse agent, was brought before the Lord Mayor by Inspector Waller, upon a warrant, charged with having been concerned in frauds committed at the Custom-house. Mr. nobler, jun., stated that he appeared order of the Board of Customs, to prosecute in the case. The prisoner had been employed to enter goods at the Custom-house, and to pay the duty on them, and he stood charged with having paid duty on a smaller amount of goods than had been im ported, and with having charged the duty to the full extent to those who engaged him to act for them. lie (Mr. Nobler, jun.) had preferred indictments before the grand jury at the Central Criminal Court by order of the Board of Customs, and those bills had been returned, and lie subsequently obtained a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, which was exe cuted by Inspector Waller. The prisoner was, as the offence with which he was charged was a misdemeanour, entitled to be released upon giving bail to appear at the next. session of the Central Criminal Court for trial. The Loan AIAYOR having learned that there were three in dictments against the prisoner, said he should require two se curities of 2001. each upon each indictment, and the prisoner's own security to the amount of 6001. upon all of them. Mr. Alexander Christey, of Muscovy -court, Trinity-square, lighterman, and Mr. George Henning, of Artillery-court, Chiswell-street, were then examined and accepted by Mr. Hobler, jun., as bail. These indictments cannot be tried any where but at the Central Criminal Court. The police gave good evidence yesterday of the wholesome effect of the Lord Mayor's positive directions to them regard ing the omnibus nuisance. Several drivers and conductors of omnibuses were brought before his Lordship, charged by the officers in various districts with having loitered, notwithstand ing the numerous examples which, to their knowledge, have been made within the last eightor ten days. The defendants tried, by every manoeuvre of which they were capable, to get the penalties remitted altogether, or at least mitigated. In ail their efforts they were unsuccessfuL His Lordship inflicted the full fine upon every man against whom the charge of having loitered was established. Most of the defendants paid. A few pre ferred a taste of Bridewell. THE STATE OF THE STREETS AS TO CLEANLI,NESS••••— Several gentlemen, amongst whom were some members of the Court of Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayoz, to inform his Lordship that, notwithstanding the activity displayed by him in urging the due performance of the contract for keep ing the streets clean, the contractor evidently disc egarded all hints, and directions, and threats, and seemed deter mined to go on in his old way, not caring anything at all about the matter. Mr. Lott, of Cordwainers'-ward, said he felt xaost grateful to the Lord Mayor for the attempts he was making to cleanse and purify the streets of the several wards, and he sincerely hoped that the cleansing and purification would rea ch his ward, which greatly stood in need of some strong process of the kind. He begged to be allowed to state that a scientific person had called upon him and exhibited some drain pipes, for application to under-draining wood and other pavements, as the mud in streets was, from the foundation, when wet and: soft, working up between the block of wood or stone, of which the pavement was composed. The LORI) MAYOR advised that the plan should be sub mitted to the Commissioners of Sewers, Mr. Bracher. of Coleman-street Ward, said th: it Moorgate street, and the lanes and alleys adjacent, had not been touched with broom or the machine for a considerable itime, so that some opinion might be formed of the condition of that neigh bourhood at the present moment. People as they passed along were covered with mud, and the shop windows 'came in for a pretty good share. The contractor had been applied to, and had promised to do all that was necessary. but he had done nothing. The LORD MAYOR—The best course you can adopt is to summon him before me. Mr. Bracher—l shall do so, my _Lord. Ia .m d e t erm i ne d to follow it up.—The summons was then issued. MARLBORO UGH.S TR.I 3E71 A summons having been applied for and 0 . btained against the coachman of Count Paoli, the Sardinia n Minister, for re fusing to pay the reward adjudged to the firemen who attended to extinguish a fire which occurred at the Sardinian Minister's stables, the following note was received by 111 r. Hardwick, the sitting Magistrate, yesterday : " The Sardinian Minister presents his compliments to the sitting Magistrate, at Marlborough -street pcilice-court, and has the honour to acquaint him, that in the exercise of his privilege as a Foreign Minister accredited to this Curt, he has ordered his coachman, Richard Doyle, not to obey the summons he has received to appear this day at the Marlborough -street police office, in consequence of the demand made upon him of the sum of 175., the amount of the reward gi ven to Frederick Berryer, engine -keeper, for bringing his e twine to Count Pollon's stables on the 27th of December ult. " Should this demand be founded on right, the Sardinian Minister would not have resisted it ; but he w ill claim his right to resist it, as he is convinced of its injustice. " No. 11, Grosvenor-street, Jan. 5, 1844.' ' " POLLON. " 6 Richard Doyle, coachman to the Sardiv .ian Minister, has been returned as being part of his e,tablisbo lent on the annual list delivered to the Foreign -office for insert:ton in the Sheriff book, and is, in consequence, protected agains t arrest for debt." Lacy, the messenger of St. George's, Han over-square, was called in and made acquainted with the contents of his Excel lency's note. Lacy said the fire was a very bad one, anti when application was made to the coachman, Doyle did not invention that he was Count Pollon's servant ; on the contrary, the said the stables were h;s own, and the furniture in them. Mr. HARDWICK said the fact must be ts.ken from the Sar dinian Minister's note. The coachman was part of the estab lishment, and, as Count Pollon had pleaded his privilege as a Foreign Minister, the summons must be cancelled. Lacy, the St. George's messenger, begged to state that, since the passing of the Act requiring machinery to be only used for the sweeping of chimneys, the 'amber of fires in chimneys had very greatly increased. This he attributed principally to thy inefficiency of the mackinery employed in Dividend per Annum. 51 per cent. 41. 4 per cent. 41. 40/. Si. 15s. 71. 1/. 52. 13/ 12s. fid. 15s. U. 103. 341.

If a chimney was not used for a short time the soot became damp and then adhered like mortar to the sides of the chimney. The machine would not fetch this off, and as soon as the chimney was used the cake of soot would become dry and burn like turf. All the soot that lodged in the elbows or holes in chimneys was left untouched by the machine, and the consequence was that a spark from the fire when cooking was going on was sure to set the chimney in a blaze. Many d complaints had been made to him from gentl em en who had suffered from this cause, and this was not the only circum stance, for the fires themselves were now of a more dangerou s character than before, and in many instances endangered the safety of the house. Isir- HA RDWICK said it would be as well to ascertain whether a larger number of fires had occurred in chimneys since the passing of the new Act than had occurred within a similar period before the alteration. He would recommend Lacy to procure a return o f the rewards paid by his parish in the two periods, and this would perhaps lead to attention in other quo' ters to this important subject.

Yesterday a poor famished-looking girl, 18 years of age; O s brought before the magistrate by Baylis, the messenger of the Court. On being introduced to the bench; the unfortunat e creature burst into tears ; she seemed quite ablshed at the stare of the spectators, and sobbed bitterly throughout. Mr. COMBE asked her what she applied for? Applicant - ' Indeed, Sir, I am starving, and I know not what to do. Mr. COMBE—What parish do you belong to ? Applicant"' My father and mother belonged to Clerkenwell. Mr. COMBE—And why did you not apply there? Applicant —And so I did, Sir, but they refused either to relieve o r to receive me. Mr. COMBE—Where did you sleep last night? Applicant —ln Clerkenwell. _ Mr. COMBE—Where ? Applicant—ln a passage ; I had a ° money to get a lodging. The Clerk said that the Master of the Clerkenwell work' house was then in Court, and would probably receive her ini ° into the workhouse at once. Mr. Harriett (the master)—Oh f really I cannot say thl she will be received. I suppo se th e overseer s exam i ne d he case before they refused her. Mr. COMBE—Then let the overseers come here, and sta te why they did not receive her. The poor girl, in answer to further questions by the magi" . trate, stated that she was employed at slop-work in the C mercial-road, by which she did not earn as much as suppo rte d her even with the coarsest food. The se ason fo r ma king the , : articles was now over, and a great many girls were discharge!: who had no means of subsisten ce . Sh e d ec l are d s h e had a' tasted a morsel of food from the previous morning. Mr. COMBE, with prompt humanity, ordered her an irata r diate supply of nutritious food. The overseers, probably not wishing to encounter the ist er ; h rogations of the Magistrate, se n t a messenger f or her, an d' ,' was received into the workhouse. —-- - - - TRADE OF DU BLIN .—O n th e I s t o f J anuar y, I, ti t year, the stock of sugar i n th e b on d e d ware h ouses o f t his poP' Including East India, had been 18,280 cwt.
