(V•-trienins LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1844. The LORD CHANCELLOR, moved for the re-appoin ment of the Committee on the Irish Presbyterian Marriagelaw, in consequence of the decision which had that day been pronounced confirming the judg ment of the Court below. It appears from the Re port that the Law Lords were equally divided—two voting for reversing the judgment, and two in favour of it, which the House considered a confirmation of the judgment given by the Irish Bench. Some discussion took place on the appointment of Mr. O ' BRIEN as a Stipendiary Magistrate, which led to no result. The Marquis of LANspowNE moved for copies of any instructions that might have been given to the Crown Solicitors in Ireland, relative to the late State trials, and after a few words the motion was agreed to, when the House adjourned. The House of Commons was engaged almost the entire night in a discussion on the Factories Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM led the way, by presenting a petition from 62 firms, employing upwards of 30,000 la bourers, and embracing nine-tenths of the capital employed in that town, who stated that the proposed change would reduce wages from 15 to 25 per cent., and deprive the labouring classes of the enjoyments they at present possess. After the transaction of some other business, the Right Hon. Baronet moved that the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Factories Bill be discharged. Mr. COCHRANE was opposed to the withdrawal of the Bill, and though he did not blame Lord ASHLEY'S motives, he blamed his want of that firmness which was necessary in all the actions of life. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE also participated in the regret expressed by Mr. COCHRANE at the concession made by Lord ASHLEY, and without opposing the rescind ing of the order he would move as an amendment, that in any future Bill a provision should be inserted that the labour to be performed by young persons and females shall be less than twelve hours. Sir CHARLES NAPIER seconded the amendment. Lord ASHLEY justified himself against the attacks of the last speaker, but would not state what course he should pursue till on Monday he ascertained what were the provisions of the new Bill. A number of speakers followed, when the amendment was nega tived without a division, and the order of the day was discharged. A motion of Mr. Ew,tur, relative to the reduction of duties on raw materials, having been, after some discussion, negatived by a majority of 64, the House went into Committee of Supply. Several votes were passed, and the House resumed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM then moved for, and obtained, leave to bring in a new Bill for the better regulation of factories. It was read a first, and ordered to be read a second time on the 22d of April. The other orders of the day were then disposed of and the House adjourned at a Quarter ,to One &Clock. What a foolish set of people are the Anti-Corn-law Leaguers. How absurdly they manage all their affairs. Not content with frightening all the Whig aristocracy, they are now breaking up the entire Whig party throughout the country, by carrying dissension into every borough ; and instead of putting up candidates whose birth and parentage, connexions and family, entitle them to represent the constituen cies of England, they put up men merely of talent, and with no other earthly consideration to recom mend them. Such is the language of all the old twaddlers of the St. James's-street Clubs ; of all the men who, without a single unencumbered acre, talk loudly and lustily of resisting the Anti-Corn-law League to the very last shilling they possess—just as the West India proprietors, whose estates have long since been mortgaged over and over again, beyond their value, resist any alteration in the sugar duties, merely in the hope that dear sugar may enable them to derive some little revenue from that property, of which extravagance and luxurious expenditure have long since deprived them. Poor fools—imbecile dotards—you hope by aiming to keep up the price of corn to secure high rents, and thereby realise an income beyond the interest which you must of neces sity pay, unless content to let your mortgaged acres be foreclosed. But you look only to time present— to-day occupies your entire thoughts—and shortly, very shortly, will you find, that your temporary policy is all in vain ; and that the very means you adopt to stave off what you fear may be your injury, only makes certain that which is now merely cause for apprehension. The cause of the Anti- Corn-law League is the cause of every patriotic man in the country— the prosperity, the happiness of the entire population of the empire, depend upon the success of the efforts which that body is now making to emancipate in dustry from the shackles which monopoly has thrown over it, and to set free the streams of commerce from the icy fetters which the cold breath of a landed aris tocracy has frozen around them. The cause of the Anti-Corn-law League is the cause of the overworked labourer—of the half-starved artizan—of the suffering shopkeeper—of the owner of unemployed shipping— and of every class in the commercial community. Such a cause must and will prevail, by its own intrin sic weight and merit, spite of the sneers of mere party men, or the scoffs and frowns of interested in dividuals. But we confess that we do not see the policy of courting defeat, where defeat is certain; of entering into a contest where nothing is to be gained, but a rebuff and inevitable discomfiture. We cannot see the wisdom of fighting merely to be beaten, and of showing the powers of endurance without a chance of conquest. We do not think it any part of the duty of the League to put up candidates, like cocks on Shrove-Tuesday, merely to be knocked down by a suc cessful thrower. The principles of free trade may be inculcated in a far wider and cheaper—yes, and in a far more effectual and less depressing manner, from Covent-Garden Theatre at the magnificent ga therings there, and through the medium of the press, than they can ever be on the local stage of Hastings, or any other bo rough such as that. And the great Liberal party, which in its every essence is bound up with the prin ciples of free trade, will be better kept together, and more usefully brought to bear, if such defeats and such contests as that of Hastings be avoided. The League is destined to triumph—why should it court defeat ? It is destined to victory—why should the certainty of that victory be sullied by oc casional doubt ? The League would do well to take the advice of its friends, and not be urged into indis cretion by its noisy and clamorous supporters. Justice to Ireland - has been the cry in this country, ever since' tl-je last grand injustice, the attempt to make trial by jury a farce. The visit of Mr. O'CONNELL to England has been the occasion for calling public feeling into demonstration ; and from his first landing to his return to the shores of Ireland, the voice of England has been heard in accents not to be mistaken, proclaiming that its people require and demand for the people of Ireland equal justice, privileges, and rights. The last demon tration at Liverpool has not been one particle behind those in London, Birmingham, and Coventry; and O'CoNNELL goes back to Dublin with the best wishes of the people of this country. On the 15th of next month the Court of Queen's Bench will be moved for judgment. A motion in arrest of judgment will then be made, and if that be refused, sentence will of course be passed. A writ of error will be sued out, and, as was stated two days ago, counsel are already engaged in support. But the Government and the Court of Queen's Bench may either at once put the sentence into force, or al low it to be respited until the writ of error be dis posed of. They may, if they choose, put a sentence into execution, the validity of which is disputed, or they may allow it to impend, until its legality be de cided upon. Which course will they have the good taste to pursue ? Will they punish first and debate the legality of the punishment afterwards, or decide, upon the powers of the law, to award punishment before they put the sentence into force ? Time will show. The discussion that took place last night in the House of Commons on the subject of the Factory Bill will certainly not tend to raise the character of that Assembly in the eyes of the country. To say nothing of the evident embarrassment that per vaded every speech, with the solitary exception of the manly, straight-forward one made by Mr.DuN COMBE, it was clear that there was a reluctance on the part of the House to follow up with zeal and energy the steps it had already taken in behalf of the unprotected operatives. Hon. Members seemed to shrink aghast at the idea of inflicting too serious a blow on Ministers ; the question of humanity was with them of far less importance than the question of the stability of the PEEL Cabinet Cand they evinced a vacillation and a lukewarmness, clumsily disguised under a show of regret, vexation, and all that sort of thing, which will enable Sir JAMES GRAHAM to carry his darling point of throwing the factory opera tives overboard. Last week, the House was boldly in favour of the claims of humanity. This week, it is all for expediency. Last week, it took the lofty and generous tone which becomes a British senate. This week, it cringes at the foot-stool of power. Oh, "lame and impotent conclusion !" Who, henceforth, will be otherwise than slow to believe in the sincerity of a set of men who can thus play fast and loose— blow hot and cold—and most egregiously stultify them selves—on a question which they were bound to follow up boldly, and without respect to persons, to its legiti mate conclusion ? Of course Lord ASHLEY'S Ten Hours' " Employment Bill" is lost for this year. It might have been otherwise—it ought to have been otherwise—but then the PEEL Ministry would have been compromised ; and what are the claims of the poor—the helpless—the overtasked thousands in the manufacturing districts, compared to this great consideration ? Perish the rights of humanity, pro vided Downing -street be still retained by its present occupants ! If we can make the claims of the one harmonise with our duty to the other, well and good; if not, let the weakest go to the wall ! We are sorry—very sorry for the operatives —we grant their case is a strong one—but PEEL must be kept in place at all hazards 1 Thus argues the House of Commons, and never yet did it adopt a more lame—unworthy—suicidal course of argument. Have the humanity-men been merely fighting a cross all this time ? Gm) knows ; but one thing is evident— namely, that they have laid themselves open to very grave suspicions. Meantime, all that remains for the over-wrought operatives to do, is to practice the difficult virtues of patience and forbearance. They must endure their sufferings in silence, and await calmly the advent of better times. Their friends, if they have not absolutely betrayed them, have at any rate lost all zeal in their cause• Lord ASHLEY, who but the other day flamed like the meridian sun in their behalf, is now as cool and mode rate as sunset. He has discovered that " second thoughts are best" —that strong impulses, no matter how generous, are not to be trusted—and that the better part of valour is discretion. We wish him joy of his discovery. It is at any rate a politic one, if it have no higher claims on our consideration. We will, however, just venture respectfully to remind his Lordship of one little circumstance, which may possibly have escaped his recollection. In more than one of his Parliamentary speeches— which always, like JOSEPH SURFACE'S conversation, abound in fine sentiments—he has, if we remember rightly, indulged in many virtuous phillippics against war, and the horrors which it brings in its train. Now, if war kills its masses, has the Factory System no sins of this sort to answer for ? Are there not hundreds, possibly thousands, of poor, emaciated operatives, men, women, and children, who annually die off, some in early youth, some in middle age victims to the inexorable Moloch of cupidity ? Can the under -ground cellars, and chilly, unfurnished garrets of Manchester tell no tales of lingering deaths by starvation, disease, and dull, gnawing, hopeless despair ? Look at the squalid, death-stricken figures that one constantly encounters in the manufacturing districts ! If you meet with a face impreased with the rosy hue of health, be sure it belongs to a millowner ; if with one stamped with the ineffaceable lines of wretchedness, be sure it belongs to a victim of the Twelve Hours' system. Yet these last perish by hundreds ; and when their case becomes at length so notorious that it is taken up by the House of Com- mons, the very man who brings it forward, as he says, from the most disinterested motives, is the very first to relax in his remedial efforts, the instant he per ceives that perseverance in a good cause is likely to endanger the Ministry. Lord ASHLEY is, we be lieve, a well-intentioned man, but his humanity is sadly hampered by his Toryism. The one urges him to befriend the operatives—the other to leave their case as he finds it. Nature forces him one way, Expediency the other. He would do good, but he is afraid to do good; because just at the mo ment when he is making up his mind to push vigorously forward in the right path, Sir JAMES GuAnAm's basilisk eye is on him, and he comes to a dead halt. 'We trust, henceforth, that Lord ASHLEY will be somewhat more sparing of his fine sentiments; or, if he must heeds expatiate on the evils of war, not forget to enumerate also, and boldly denounce, the evils of the Factory System, which has killed quite as many thousands as NAPOLEON ever slew in the field. _We have received the Madrid journals of the 23d, which contain letters from Aranjuez, describing the meeting of the QUEEN DOWAGER and her daughter. The scene is thus represented in one of these letters : " The night before Queen Isabella and the Infanta Louisa were to embrace their mother they could not close their eyes, and were continually heard to ask what the hour was. At four in the afternoon they entered their carriage, and left Aranjuez for the spot where the interview was to take place. It is said that Queen Isabella had early in the morning de sired a physician to proceed thith er w ith su it a bl e medicines, in order to afford seasonable relief to such persons as the Royal interview might too deeply affect ! I On reach ing the tent erected for the occasion on a plain to the right of the Andalusia and ' Valencia road, the Queen and her, sister- - .`votild : not . sit quietly ; they repeatedly rose and ' , , , edvAasd?r. in order to descry as soon as possible the -.`carriage , 'conveying their august mother. At half-past four the' daughters of the Infante Don Franciyo .de Paula -arrived, .accompanied by Madame Arana, tlisK.,rirStl#3;,y Honour, ',After respect fully embracing ,figiir e T-18fitI,.,kwsliis, the liifantas imme diately proceedecr 4 ,4 !),44141*.kki.'44:4,,A1igier', past five the Queen-Mother arrili4,llePAOgnistct by o.eXimster of Grace and Justice, M.-11,14ans f • .4mFGenerariciftvAez. The first meeting between the mother and. danghters, was a silent one, tears only expressing their feelings. In tlie tent the marks of tenderness exchanged between them were more touching still. At six o'clock Maria Christina received persons of distinction, among whom were M. Bresson, Mr. Lytton Bulwer, the Ministers, at whose head figured M. Gon zales Bravo, M. Isturitz, and • other personages. After this official reception the Queen-Mother entered her carriage, with her two daughters, who contended for the seat on her right, when Maria Christina sat down in the middle and said to the young Queen, ' take thy place on my r ight, for it is thine,' and to the Infanta, _' take thy place, which is on my left. Along their whole road they were saluted with the S liveliest acclamatiOits...,At.„half- a. six the Royal carriage entered Aranjuez, amidst the riu ing of bells, and before they could reach their apartthents, `t e Queen and her daughters had to make their way through a dense and enthusiastic crowd. At the moment they were entering the apartments, the venerable Duke de taylen respectfully advanced, and said to Maria Christina, ' Madam, I am happy. td have again in my old days, the honour of--' The Marshal laboured under such deep emotion that he could not utter a word more, and Maria Christina hastened to address him in the most affectionate terms. 'I am coming,' she said, 'to deprive thee of thy guardianship.' 'lt has given me plenty to do, replied the Duke." On the 18th Carthagena still held out. Another smart engagement had taken place, in which it is said the besiegers succeeded in taking possession of the suburb of San Anton. The Three per Cents. were done at 37- for cash, and at 38 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23 for cash, and 231 at 60 days. The French Conservative Government has also sus tained a defeat of some importance, and we rejoice that, like the defeat of the English Government on the Factory Bill, it is in the cause of humanity. On the Order of the Day being read in the Chamber of Deputies for the discussion on the 23d clause of the Recruitment Bill, fixing the period of service at eight years, in place of seven, as formerly, M. Du- PEAT moved, as an amendment, that the length of service should be seven years, and the amendment was seconded by the son-in-law of Marshal SOULT, the Marquis of MORNAY. The amendment was op posed by Marshal OUDINOT and Marshal SOULT, on the ground that eight years was the shortest period of service that could keep up an effective army of 500,000 men. M. 0. BARROT, in support of the amendment, spoke in a way befitting his character as. the advocate of popular rights. "The Chamber," he said, " was supposed to represent all the classes of society. To keep up that fiction—(Cries of Oh, oh,' and laughter)—they ought to show some solici tude for the feelings of that portion of the people on which the increase of service now proposed by the Government would press most heavily. If the Cham ber only knew the anguish with which families counted the years that their children passed in the army, and the anxiety which they evinced for their return, they would not treat an additional year's ser vice so lightly." The amendment was put, but after two trials, the President being unable to say on which side was the majority, recourse was had to the ballot, when there were for the amendment 170, and for the original motion 163, being a majority of seven against the Government. On the same day M. GAR NIER PAGES laid on the President's fable, in the Chamber of Deputies, a proposition for the conver sion of the Five per Cents. This proposition is simply the revival of the plan submitted to the Chamber in April, 1840, which was rejected by the House of Peers. M. DE LAMARTINE also pvesented a petition praying that DON CARLOS be restored to liberty. It is signed by large number of persons of note, in cluding M. DE CHAUTEAUDRIAND, and will shortly be submitted to the Chamber, at a moment when the State of Spain will confer on it all the interest of an order cf the day; it will be warmly supported by the most influential Members of the several Op positions. We find no further intelligence in the Paris papers relative to the disturbances in Italy. The funds on Thursday were a shade lower, the Three per Cents. closing at 82f. 80c., and the Fives at 121 f. 65c. THE BOURSE—THURSDAY, MARCH 28. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

The King of the French, accompanied by General Du rosnel, Colonel de Chabannes, and the Marquis de Strada, went to St. Cloud on Tuesday afternoon, and returned to the Tuileries to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received Lord Cowley, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, General Changarnier and Baron Deponthon, the Duke and Duchess de Reggio, the Marquis de Dalmatie, Count &gur, Count and Countess Serrurier, the Prefet of the Loiret, and M. de Lahaye Jousselin. The funeral obsequies of Count d'Ambrugeac, Peer of France, took place on Wednesday at the church of St. Thomas d'Aquin. The cords of the pall were held by the Duke Decazes, the Marquis de Lauriston , Viscount Dode, and a friend Of the family. The grand deputation of the Chamber of Peers was composed of twenty-five Members, but several other Peers were also present. The great subject of conversation in the offices of the Mi nister of the Marine, says the Commerce, is a magnificent steamer now being built at Brest, and finishing in a style of splendour as to accommodations, gilding, and hinting, for the purpose of conveying the Royal Family to England. The Copenhagen official journal publishes an ordennance of the King of Denmark, for ameliorating the condition of the slaves in the Danish West India islands of St. Croix. In the preamble to the ordonnance, the King expresses his sa. ti faction at the readiness with which the planters in all thi three islands have made sacrifices in order to enable the Go. vernment to adopt the above provisions. A grand ball will be given by the President of the Cham ber of Deputies, after Easter, at the Palais Bourbon. In addition to the vast saloons of that building, a large room will be constructed of wood in the garden for the occasion. The Moniteur states that the following proposition has been made to the Government by a Company for the execu tion of a railroad from Paris to Strasburg : Ist, a lease of 46 years and 324 days ; 2d, to share the profits with the State after 10 per cent.; 3d, the gratuitous surrender of the road at the expiration of the concession. The same journal publishes the Customs' Bill, which has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister of Commerce. It is of great length, occupying nearly eleven columns of the Moniteur, and is for a great part a recapitula tion of official documents which have been already published. Three deputies, Messrs. Magnin, Lasalle, and Teniers, have introduced a bill for the purpose of preventing the adultera tion of wine, and for the more effectually punishing those guilty of committing it. The principal conditions of the bill are :—To increase the amount of penalties; or to make the cases punishable by the correctional tribunals; to forbid the manufacture of vinegar at Paris ; to organise an extensive service of inspectors ; and to limit and regulate the making of wines. It is proved that in ten years the loss of the re venue, in Paris alone, by the adulteration of wines, has amounted to 80,000,000 of francs. LAW AND POLICE. At Liverpool, before Mr. Baron Rolfe, Peter Halewood was indicted for fekiniously setting fire to a stack of hay, the pro perty of one James Dickenson, and to a certain barn and out houses, at Upholland, in this county, the property of the Rev. Richard Ramshaw Rothwell. He was found guilty, and transported for life. AC the Mansion-house, William Read, shipowner, of Ips wich, and William Simpson, the commander of the brig Colina, which was lost off the coast of Rolland, were brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, officer, for final exa mination upon the charge of having conspired to sink that vessel, for the purpose of defrauding the Alliance Marine Assurance Company.

The indict ment against him was put into his hands, and having read it, he wrote on a separate paper, " lam not guilty," and the names of the jurors were given to him, and he was informed that he might challenge any or all of them ; but he answered, by writing, that he had no objection to any of them. The evi dence was nearly all circumstantial, but the prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life. . Elizabeth Watson and Mary Elliott, the former a well dressed middle-aged woman, the latter the wife of a highly respectable tradesman in Spitalfields, were charged at Worship-street by Mr. Thomas Butler, a linen-draper, 74 and 75, High-street, Shoreditch, with shoplifting. The article stolen was an expensive satin scarf, which on being searched the prisoner - Watson let fall from part of her dress. She was fully committed for trial, but Airs. Elliott was discharged, there being no sort of evidence against her. The husband of Watson was stated to hold a confidential public situation in the City. A fashionably attired young man, wearing moustachios, and described on the police-sheet as William Burton Newen ham, 31, Upper Berkeley-street West, Portman-square, gentleman, was charged at Clerkenwell with the abduction of Frances Louisa Wortham, the daughter of a widow lady, living in 39, Gerard -street, Coburg-road, Islington.

The Anti-Slavery Society have issued a circular to the ministers and office-bearers of churches in London and its neighbourhood, calling on them to sign a memorial to the American churches against slavery. A similar memorial has been numerously signed in the provinces by the ministers and office-bearers in churches. The immediate object is, to save the life of John Brown, lying under sentence of death in New Orleans, for having assisted a slave to make her es cape. The London memorial is to be sent out in the Boston packet, which leaves England for America on Thursday next. A concert upon a grand scale is about to be given in aid of the funds of the Society for the Protection and Employment of the Distressed Needlewomen in London, at which some of our most eminent artists have kindly volunteered their assist ance.

THE KING or THE BELGIANS.—His Majesty has not been able, as yet, to visit his Royal niece during her first separation from her Royal consort. The affair which detains his Majesty is the contention between the Belgian Church and the Belgian University. This question has the more serious importance in Belgium, as there the - preponderance is on the part of the ecclesiastical polemists. In Belgium the Church is powerful and rich, and is upheld by a large majo rity of the popul a ti on , an d th e Ki ng i s a Protestant. His Majesty's arrival in England is deferred to the 2d of next month. __ _ ME. O'CoNrir.m..—The following is the reply of Mr. Sands, the Illayor of Liverpool, to the Orangemen who signed a requisition calling on him to prevent the meeting at the Amphitheatre, in honour of Mr. O'Connell :—" I beg to state that, under the circumstances at present before me, I have no power, as chief magistrate, to prevent the meeting. I have a than reliance on the loyalty and peaceful disposition of my townsmen, and I hope and trust that no breach of the peace will be attempted on this occasion. I may state, how ever, that before the receipt of your requisition, I had given such orders to the police force as will effectually prevent any serious disturbance." SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPTAIN DORAN, R.N.—Yes terdayof the morn,etoin rs g o about G t e e n n e o r ' a c oc lock Steam N Captain avi g D a o t r i o a n n , C R o . ni N p . , a o n n v e , expired in a sudden manner at his residence in Piccadilly. It appears that on the previous afternoon Captain Doran, who was in his usual good health, proceeded to the Steam Navi gation Company's offices in Lombard-street, for the purpose of transacting business, and whilst there he suddenly com plained of having been taken unwell, and returned home, and, notwithstanding every medical attention s he expired as aboyed stated. THE WILLS FORGERIES MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAY.) FINAL EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. The prisoners charged with the extensive wills forgeries, which have so long occupied public attention, were brought up this morning for final examination and committal. Long before the time appointed for the commencement of the pro ceedings, a large number of persons were collected round the door at which the prisoners enter, for the purpose of witness ing their arrival. About half-past eleven, the Lord Mayor took his seat in the Court, and immediately after the pri soners, consisting of Barber, Fletcher, Griffin, and William Sanders, and Mrs. Dorey and Mrs. Sande rs , we re b roug ht up in the custody of the officers, and placed at the bar. As on the previous occasions, the female prisoners were accom modated with seats at the bottom of the table. Mr. Parry appeared for Barber; Mr. Humphreys, the soli citor, for Fletcher ; Mr. Bozon, the solicitor, for Griffin ; Mr. Wolff for Mrs. Dorey ; and Mr. E. Durham, of Bristol, for Sanders and wife. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, and Messrs. Freshfield, soli citors for the Bank of England, conducted the prosecution. On entering the room both the female prisoners sobbed bitterly, Mrs. Dorey aloud, and the latter also looked ex tremely ill. _ _ _ Mr. John William Seaton, from the Prerogative-office, pro• duced a document purporting to be the will of Mary Hunt and a paper purporting to be a statement of Thomas Hunt. in reference to the same; also a will purporting to be that of Ann Slack. Mr. F. J. Greene was next called. His deposition related to the identity of the two prisoners Sanders, whom he had known about twelve years. Deponent knew Mrs. Dorey to be the sister of Mrs. Sanders. Mr. Edmund Crawley, grocer, also identified the prisoner William Sanders, who had lodged with him under the name of Thomas Hunt. Mr. Thomas Clesbury Thatcher, clerk to a firm of proctors in Doctors' Commons, deposed that Barber had called at the office with another person whom he represented as Thomas Hunt. He could not swear that William Sanders was the person who called with Barber, though he was about the same height. S. W. Gough, a clerk in the Bank of England, identified Sanders as having drawn a sum of money in the name of Thomas Hunt. A number. of other depositions were read over, and sworn to by the parties who made them, connecting the prisoners Sanders with the transaction. The deposition of - Cuckson, of Hull, was read over to him, and declared by the witness to be correct. It was in substance a repetition of the evidence already given in refer ence to the conversation between the witness and his brother in-law, the prisoner Fletcher. During the reading of the evidence, Mr. Parry observed, that one expression in it, " the rogue of an attorney," was admitted distinctly at the time not to refer to Mr. Barber. Mr. Humphreys remarked that the party referred to in the deposition, so far from being Mr. Barber, was not an attorney at all. Mr. Clarkson said that he had now laid before his Lordship all the evidence with which he was prepared on the subject of these charges. Mr. Durham, for the two prisoners, Sanders and wife, wished to know whether his Lordship would consent to their remaining in the Compter until one day before the com mencement of the sessions. Of course, if the indulgence were granted in their case, it would be extended to all the prisoners. __ _ _ Mr. Parry hoped that his Lordship would accede to the application, as by so doing he would afford mach greater fa cilities for intercourse between the prisoners and their ad visers than they would otherwise possess. Mr. Wolff made a similar application with reference espe cially to Mrs. Dorey. The LORD MAYOR said he would be very happy to do anythirg in his power to accommodate all parties ; but he did not see why he should make exceptions in favour of the prisoners charged with this offence. Having now been remanded for some time for the conve nience of both sides, he felt that it was his duty to commit them for trial, and he could not make exceptions with re ference to the place where they were to be secured. Every accommodation which was necessary should be afforded to those who would have to conduct the defence ; and as regarded the health of Mrs. Dorey, she would be as well taken care of in Newgate as in the Corepter. She would have the same medical attendance, and the same general attention in the one as in the other. He could not grant any further in dulgence. Mr. Parry said he was sure Mr. Clarkson could not have the slightest objection to his Lordship's yielding to the appli cation ; he could not see what reason there could be for op posing - Mi.Clarkson observed that the impression to the contrary against those who had conducted the prosecution did them great injustice. Mr. Parry said, if his Lordship thought his duty impera tive, he had not another word to say on the subject. He would only observe, with regard to his own client, that he was compelled to be in constant communication with his so licitor. In fact, he conducted his own case with the aid of his solicitor. It was only a question of a few days. The LORD MAYOR could not see why he should depart from the regular and proper course in favour of these parties. The facilities for communication with legal advisers would be the same in either case. Mr. Wolff said he had himself experienced the difficulty o obtaining access to prisoners. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, I will take that there shall be no difficulty. You do not advance any reasons why I should in this case depart from the regular course. Mr. Parry—No; it is_ a matter of pure favour and indul gence. The LORD MAYOR—Then I do not feel care I should be justified, under the circumstances, in granting any indulgence. Mr. Parry said, the examinations having now closed, he begged to thank his Lordship for the patient hearing [which he had given to the, representatives of the prisoners, and for the kindness and courtesy which he had displayed during the whole of the proceedings. Mr. Wolff, after consulting for a short time with Mrs. Dorey, said that the prisoner would feel much obliged to his Lordship, if he would give such directions as would enable her to see her husband. The prison regulations would only allow of his coming to her twice a week. The Loin) MAYOR said he would take care that whatever indulgence the prison regulations allowed should be afforded for that purpose. His LORDSHIP then, addressing all the prisoners, said— I now feel it my duty to commit you all to Newgate, to take your trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. I would have you all prepare to take that trial on the first day when the judges come down, because I think it is most likely that that will be the day appointed. The prisoners were then removed from the bar. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) CHARGE OF COlNlNG.—Freeman, Young, and Martin, three lads, were charged with being engaged in coining copper money. It appeared that the police, having received informa tion that coining was going forward at a house in Norfolk street, Southwark-bridge-road, proceeded there on the pre ceding afternoon. Having obtained an entrance into the house, three policemen rushed up stairs, and, breaking open the garret door, discovered the three persons engaged in coining copper money. There was a crucible on the fire, with metal in it, which was attempted to be upset by the prisoners, one of whom was Observed to run to the window, which was open, and throw something into the yard, which was after wards found to be penny pieces, just taken from the mould, with the edges unclipped. The prisoners were then secured, and taken to the station-house.--Committed. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY...-TWO men, named Gearing and Wright, were charged with committing the following daring highway robbery. On the preceding night, at a late hour, a Mrs. Davis, an aged woman, on leaving the Bridge House public-house, came out with two sovereigns and save • ral half-crown pieces in her hand. The moment she got into the street, Gearing rushed up and snatched the whole of the money, with which he ran away, but was eventually secured, having previously thrown the money away. When police man 195 M was conveying Gearing to the station-house, the other prisoner attempted a rescue, and struck the policeman a violent blow on the side of the head with a life-preserver. Wright then ran away, but being known, was taken into custody soon afterwards.—Both prisoners were committed. QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) James Jackson, a young man 'having the appearance of a mechanic, was charged before Mr. Burrell with stealing a pair of female's boots of the value of 2s. Job Matthews, a plasterer and broker, residing in Frederick's place, Brewer's-green, stated that whilst at breakfast that morning, between eight and nine o'clock, he saw the prisoner in his shop, who, on being perceived, ran away, followed by the prosecutor. The prisoner threw the boots away on being captured, and said he paid the prosecutor for them. A little boy corroborated the evidence of the prosecutor. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING MEETING—FRIDAY. Except in that grand essential with the multitude—quan tity, the bill of fare provided for yesterday's racing was of moderate pretensions ; the Trial Stakes, the only event of any importance in the estimation o f the betting community, had an entry of only eight horses, taking them as a lot, of inferior grade. It did not fail, however, to produce some effect on the Derby betting, Sir Gilbert Heathcote's outsider, Akbar, having achieved an easy victory, and, in consequence, advanced from 100 to 40 to 1. At the same time giving Campunero a lift of several points. The other races, if they lacked importance, afforded a sufficiency of sport to satisfy the largest company ever congregated at a Spring Meeting on Epsom Downs. They were run off with a precision that might have been expected from a zealous and competent executive. The weather was brilliantly fine, and the course in the most perfect condition imaginable. At two o'clock, to the minute, the horses were started for The Epsom Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 sovs. added by Sir G. Heathcote ; for three yrs old, 7st ; and four, 9st. One mile.
