PROTECTION OF APPRENTICES AND SERVANTS. On Friday a Bill was issued " For the better Pro tection of young Persons under the Care and Con :rol of others as Apprentices or Servants ; and to ev able the Guardians and Overseers of the Poor to institute and conduct Prosecutions in certain Cases." The text is as follows : Whereas it is expedient to make provision for the better protection of young persons who are under the care and control of others as apprentices or servants : Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, 1. That where the master or mistress of any young person under the age of eighteen* shall be legally liable to provide for such young person, as an ap prentice or as a servant, necessary food, clothing, or lodging, and shall wilfully and without lawful excuse refuse or neglect to provide the same, or where the master or mistress of any such young person shall un lawfully and maliciously assault such young person, — so that by reason of such refusal or neglect to provide as aforesaid, or by reason of such assault or assaults, the life of such young person shall be endangered, or the health of such young person shall be injured, such master or, mistress shall be guilty of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof shall be liable to be im prisoned, with or without hard labour, in the common gaol or House of Correction, for any term not ex ceeding three years. 2. That the costs and expenses of the prosecution of any such misdemeanour as aforesaid may be allowed and ordered by the court before which the indictment shall be tried, in like manner as the costs of the prosecution in certain cases of misdemeanour under the Act of the seventh year of the reign of King George the Fourth, chapter sixty-four, or may be allowed and ordered by the Court o f Q ueen ' s Bench, in case the indictment shall have been re moved into that court. 3. That where any young person under the age of eighteen shall have been or shall be hired as a servant from the workhouse of any union or pariah, or shall have been or shall be bound out as an ap prentice by the guardians of any union, or the guardians or overseers of any parish, it shall be lawful for such guardians or overseers respectively, and they are hereby required so long as such young person shall be under the age of eighteen, and shall be known to them to reside within such union or parish respectively with the master or mistress by whom such young person was so taken as a ser vant or apprentice, to cause the relieving officer, or, where there is no relieving officer, then some othe officer duly authorised for the purpose, to visit such young person at least four times in every year, and to report to them, if he shall find reason to be lieve that such young person is not supplied with necessary food, or is subjected to cruel or illegal treatment in any respect. 4. That where any complaint shall be made of an offence against this Act, or of any bodily injury in flicted upon any poor person under the age of eighteen years, for which the party committing it is liable to be indicted, and the justice of the peace be fore whom the examination is taken shall certify under his hand that he deems its necessary for the purpose of public justice that the prosecution should be conducted by the guardians of the union or of the parish, or where there are no guardians by the overseers of the parish in which the offence shall have been committed, such guardians or overseers, as the case may be, shall, upon personal service of such certificate or a duplicate thereof upon the clerk of such guardians, or upon any one of such overseers, conduct the prose cution, and shall pay the costs reasonably and pro perly incurred therein (so far as the same shall not be allowed to them under any order of the court trying the indictment, or of the Court of Queen's Bench), out of the common fund of the union, or out of the funds in the hands of the guardians or overseers (as the case may be) of such parish. 5. That in the case of a union or parish under a board of guardians, the clerk or some other officer of such union or parish, and in the case of a parish not under a board of guardians one of the overseers thereof, may, if the said justice of the peace before whom the examination is taken shall deem it neces sary for the purposes of public justice, and shall certify as hereinbefore-mentioned, be bound over to prosecute. 6. That the words " guardians," " union," " over seers," " justice of the peace," " officer," "poor," " parish," and " workhouse," used in this Act, shall be construed in like manner as in the Act of the fifth year of the reign of King William the Fourth, chapter seventy-six. 7. That this Act shall extend only to England and Wales. ' The worth in lta'ics are proposed to be inserted in Committee. THE RIOT IN BARHAM - UNION WORK. HOUSE. The Ipswich Express, of Tuesday, says—" If we can not prove that this over-crowding of the house, and the subsequent riot, were the results of a wilful and planned attempt to effect political and selish objects, we shall, at all events, present such a case as will imperatively call on the Government to probe this matter to the uttermost." 'rho riot took pile° on Sunday, the 9th instant. " Let the reader," says the Express, " remember that on Tuesday evening—less than f,rty-eight hours after the riot—Mr. Disraeli stood pledged to introduce in the House of Commons his motion regarding agricultural distress ! On the Sunday night, then, we hail 124 able bodied paupers in the house, 37 of whom—and amongst them the principal rioters—had come ia on the Saturday. On Monday ten out of the number were., committed to prison, and on the fullow day (Tues day) no less a body than 50 of them left ta, house at their own request! Not a single application had been made by a farmer for labourers, and yet, the demonstra tion being o'er, half a hundred of them suddenly de camped." The Express then asks the following - questions:— " 1. Was there, or was there not, a prevalent report that some of the farmers of the Bosmere and Claydon Union intended to fill the workhouse for the sake of ac complishing private and political ends? " 9.. As a consequence of the feeling outside, were not acts of insubordination in the union-house fully expected, and were not paupers as they came in cautioned by the governor against aiding in a riot? "3. If the guardians were cognisant of this state of thicgs, did they matte adequate or reasonable provision for c'aecking riotous conduct at once? "4. Has any guardian ever said We'd fill the union house to overflowing; that will speak volumes to the Legislature? ' "5. Have any farmers of the Hundred been heard to say, We wish the paupers would pull the house down?' "6. Did a pauper named Pung (one of the rioters), when charged with a misdemeanour before the maeis tratee in the board-room a short time since, tell those gentlemen that the farmers had told him when he came to the house to kick up a row?' ' '• 7. 13 it a fact that any farmers in this hundred have said, in the hearing of their labourers, they wish they would go into the union-house and kick up a row?' 8. Are the able•bodied paupers Principally from the wealthiest parishes and from the wealthiest farmers? " a. Hive not a great majority of the applications for relief been made within the past month? " 10. Has a guardian who employed four men, dis charged three of them oa the plea that he could not get his rent reduced?' And did he add, As soon as there is an arrangement in my rents, send for you?' And are net there men still in the union? " 11. Did a pauper, who, on being discharged, said, I shall have to go to the union,' receive this reply from his nester, I wish you'd all go; we want to swell the rates so as to make the landlords and parsons come down in their rents and tithes? " 12. Did a guardian ever say, " I wish you'd fill the house so full that the paupers had to be hung out of the windows ?' " ....-- - Our contemporary thus concludes:_" It is out of our province to place witnesses on oath, and subject them to severe examinations, but we call on the Govern ment to institute a searching inquiry into the case, with a view of eliciting whether any parties in connexion with the Barham Board, or other residents in the union, have encouraged an undue crowding of the house, for the purpose of effecting selfish and political ends." POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. From time immemorial, from the earliest to the latest period s of scientific research, the principle, called fire, seems to have engaged the attention of mankind, and we are not surprised to find Mr. J. H. Pepper's lectures on this subject still well attended at the Royal Polytechnic. Prometheus ' stole fire from Heaven (perhaps was an electrician), but he might have spared himself the danger of seeking celestiall of the wonders could he have had a glim mering idea th. of modern science, and the ease with which we ts agent may be derived from followedhis varied the lecturer with terrestrial matter. wateri varied experiments.

And bore the lecturer concluded with very satisfactory evidence of the delight of his audience. "MUNIFICENT DONATION IN SUPPORT OF ROMAN CAT l lorlcts3l.—Th e inhabitants of the village of Oldcoats, rear Blythe, and also of the surrounding neighbourhood, have been astounded by Edward Chaloner, Esq., of Goldthorpe, giving upwards of an acre and a half of ground in a field South of Oldcoates, whereon to erect a Roman Catholic daurch, a house for the priest, a school, and'a burial-ground.

From the passing of the Scotch Poor-law Amend ment Act, in 1845, there had been a steady increase in the amount and cost of pauperism up to last year, when the destitution began to ebb. On the 14th hlay, 1849, 106,434 persons were on the register of regular poor ; at th® same date in 1350, there were only 101,454 ; of casual poor re lieved on the same day in 1840, there were 95,686 ; in Sc the number had sunk to 53,070. In 1845 there were 230 Scoteh which provided for the poor by assessment, and 6 p s a o ris b h y es volantary contributions •; in 1850, the former cla ss b a d r i s ez to 644, and the l a tt er dwindled to 236. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH HOSPlTAL—Licu tenant Charles Hawkins (1807) has been nominated by Sir Francis Baring to the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital. This officer saw some good service during the war, he was mate of the Pickle when she brought home the dispatches of Lord Collingwoud relative to the battle of Trafalgar, he was subsequently wounded at the capture of La Favourite privateer, and was promoted for the gallautry he displayed on this occasion. We have great pleasure in tendering our congratulations t) the First Lord of the Admiralty for his discrimination in selecting so deserving an officer for the vacancy placed at his disposal. FLAG LIEUTENANT TO SIR GEORGE SEYMOUR.— We understand that Lieutenant G. E. K. Gore (1843) has declined the appointment of Flag Lieutenant to the newly-appointed Commander•in-Chief of the West Indies. The gallant oficer, from his standing and po sition as Flag Lieutenant to Commodore Eden, has claims for his previous services which justify him in expecting speedy promotion, without waiting for casual vacancies on a foreign station. RELIEF TO THE WINDBOUND MERCHANTMEN.—The Admiralty have ordered the 60-gun screw line•of-battle ship Hogue, Captain Macdougall, to proceed from Cork to the Chops of the Channel for the relief, with water and provisions, of the homeward-bound trading vessels; and the Admiralty have further ordered that in future the Rogue is to cruise in the Chops of the Channel at all times when the wind has been blowing from the eastward for 24 hours. THE ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE CALLIOPE.—Mr. Trickett, of the factory department, has submitted to the Admiralty a proposition for fitting capstan bars, so as to avoid the possibility of such accidents as occurred on board the Calliope, 26, with such fatal and serious consequences. AGENT OF MAILS TO THE CAPE.—Commander J. F. B. Wainwright (1849) has been nominated the Ad miralty agent in charge of the next mails by the screw steam-packet to the Cape of Good Hops. LAUNCH OF THE MIRANDA.—The Miranda, paddle wheel steam-sloop, built from the approved design of the Committee of Reference, of which Lord John Hay was chairman, is ordered to be launched from Sheerness dockyard March 18. ANTICIPATED PROMOTION IN THE 81ST.—It is ex pected that a step will shortly take place in every rank of this regiment. ROYAL ARTILLERY REMOUNTS.—Captain Ormsby has proceeded to Dublin, as Inspector of Remounts for the field batteries of the Royal Artillery. THE MEDICAL OFFICERS OF THE NAVY.—We are happy to be able to announce that the medical officers of the navy stationed and resident in England, are about to pay a most deserved compliment to Dr. F. G. Brown, late of her Majesty's ship Howe, and to Dr. WWll liam, F.R.S., for their most disinterested exertions in ob taining for the junior medical officers of the service ward room rank, by inviting them to a banquet at the London Tavern early in the month of May. We trust that this demonstration will convince the guests on this occasion, that their merits have been appreciated by the medical officers of the navy. We shall be happy to receive tho names of those gentlemen who may be desirous of serv ing as stewards, and we feel certain that there will be no lack of good names, indeed we are already inundated with applications from all parts of the kingdom. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal o f thi s d ay. ) The downward tende.n.ly in price s o f di v id en d m i nes, as noticed last week, can scarcely b e sa id to cont i nue, b ut the basiness transacted in them has be en on a narrowed scale. Possibly, an apprehension that th e B an k wou ld still further raise the value of money by an increase in the ra.te of discount, may have contributed to this effect, altho ugh such a step, if contemplated, has been deferred. It in: ty be remarked that dividend mine shares rule in valu' 3 as high as 600/. each share, rendering the higher grae .es of shares the most susceptible of a fluctuation in pric s from nionkltary derangements.

NEWMARKET RAILWAY COMPANY. A meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the London Tav€ra; Mr. Fano in the chair. Mr. PANE announced the object of the meeting, which was to consign the forfeiture of certain shares by reason of the non-payment of a call made two years ago. There was also another object, which was to postpone the half-yearly meeting of the company to March from February. The reason of this was, that as all the railway meetings took place in February many of the shareholders were obliged to attend at other places, and could not be present at this meeting to hear the statement of the company's position. In the present instance the directors wished also to dispose of this matter of forfeiture before again meeting the share- holders. The SECRETARY then read out the numbers of the forfeited shares, amounting in the whole to 2,392. In reply to a question from Mr. COMPLIN, The CHAIRMAN said that it was perfectly legal to compel the payment of these calls. Air. COMPLIN intimated that he had an opinion from an eminent counsel to the contrary. The CHAIRMAN then read an extract from the Law Times, containing a judgment of the Court of Exche quer, given on the 14th of February, that such calls were perfectly legal, and could be enforced. The resolution, empowering the directors to sell, or otherwise dispose of the forfeited shares, were then put and carried with only one dissentient voice. The CHAIRMAN then put a resolution postponing the half-yearly meeting of the company until March. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

BERRTER, appears in the LTloniteur du Soir "My dear Berryer,—l have hardly finished reading the Menitestr of the 17th January, but I will not lose an instant in expressing to you my satisfaction and my gratitude for the admirable speech which you pro nounced in the sitting of the 10th. You know, although I have the regret of seeing sometimes my ideas and in tentions misrepresented or misunderstood, that the in terest of France, which, for me, is above all other con siderations, condemns me frequently to inaction and silence, so fearful am I of disturbing her repose, and of adding to the difficulties and embarrassments of her present condition. How happy am I then to see that you have so well expressed sentiments which are also my own, and which accord perfectly with the language and conduct that I have held at all times. This policy of conciliation, of union, and of fusion, which is also mine, and which you have so eloquently put forward, is a policy which puts into oblivion all divisions, all re criminations, all past oppositions, and desires for every body a future in which every honest man, as you so well observed, may feel that he retains possession of his personal dignity. Depositary of the funda mental principle of monarchy, I know that this monarchy would not respond to all the neces sities of Franco if it were not in harmony with her social state, her habits, and her interests, and if France did not recognise and accept the necessity of it with confidence. I respect my country as much as I love it. I honour its civilisation and its contemporaneous glory as much as the traditions and souvenirs of its his tory. The maxims which it has strongly at heart, and to which you have alluded in the tribune, equality in the eye of the law, liberty of conscience, the free access of merit to all posts, all honours, all social advantages, all those great principles of an enlightened Christian society, are dear and sacred to me as to you and to all French men. To give to all these principles all the guarantees which are necessary for them by institutions in confor mity with the wishes of the nation, and to found in ac cord with it a regular and stable government, by placing it upon the basis of hereditary monarchy, and under the protection of public liberty, at once strongly regulated ' and honestly respected, is the sole object of my ambition. I venture to hope that, with the aid of all good citizens and of all the members of my family, I shall not be wanting in courage and perseverance for the accom plishment of this national restoration, which is the only means of giving to France those long perspectives of the future, without which the present, although tran quil, remains anxious, and struck with sterility. After so many vicissitudes and fruitless endeavours, France, enlightened by her own experience, will, I am confident, know where her best destinies are placed. Oa the day when she shall be convinced that the traditional and se cular principle of hereditary monarchy is the surest guarantee for the stability of her government, and the development of her liberties, she will find in me a Frenchman, devoted and anxious to rally round him all the capacities, all the talents, all the glories, and all the men who by their services have merited the gratitude of the country. I again renew to you, my dear Berryer, all my thanks, and I beg you to continue, whenever the opportunity presents itself, to speak, as you have just done, so happily and so apropos. Let us make known more and more to France our ideas, our wishes, and our loyal intentions, and let us wait with confidence for that with which God may inspire her for the safety of our common future. Rely always, my dear Berryer, on my sincere affection. "HENRI." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Danish Government has communicated to the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna the principal points of the project which it proposes to submit to the As sembly of Notables. This project will be nothing more nor less than the practical application of the protocol of London. The principal point is the asser tion and maintenance of the integrity of the Danish kingdom as at present existing, nevertheless the inde pendence of each other of the various provinces will % be guaranteed as much as possible. In consequence, Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lauenbourg will each receive a special constitution, with a national [„. representation, and all will receive a general consti tution, with an Assembly at Copenhagen. According to the terms of this constitution, each province will have its Ministers of the Interior, of % Justice, of Public Worship, and of Finance ; whilst for Foreign Affairs, War, Marine, and the Finance of the whole kingdom, there will be Ministers at Copen hagen. The project formally asserts the equality of all the nationalities, and states that it is necessary that the succession to the Crown in the three coun tries should be fixed henceforward. As to the posi tion of Holstein-Lauenbourg, with regard to the Germanic Confederation, the settlement of that ques tion will be reserved until Austria has determined ' I precisely what are to be her own relations with that body. The project contains nothing definitive as to customs duties. These will form a matter of later co. I arrangement. MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, 1851 business continues to be transacted, which will, doubtless, continue so long as the public discriminate for them selves, or avail of the means at hand for ascertaining the difference between a bona . fide and a doubtful speculation. In the Metaarnarket there is a good business doing in copper. Lead is in demand. Staffordshire iron is firm in price; the makers are full of orders. The demand for refined English tin continues considerable. Contrary to expectation, no alteration has yet been made as re gards the duty on foreign tin, and we quote the market quiet, but very firm; it is reported that the quantity coming forward in the next Dutch company's sale will be considerably short of the amount estimated. The ticketings for Foxdale lead ore (100 tons) ranged from 101. 70. 63. by Locke, Blackett, and Co., to 121. is by J. Walker, Parker, and Co. The ticketings for about 100 tons of Laxey (Isle of Man) lead oro, varied from 17/. 12s. 6d. by Locke, Blackett, and Co , to 191. 2s. ed. by both Mather and Co. and J. P. Eyton. Wheal Trehane lead ores sold-55 tons, at 22/.165. 6d., and 40 tons at 41. 153. 60. per ton. West Basset first sampling is computed 46 tons of copper ore. The Tyerarnhayle and Naucekuko sold 11 tons lead ore, at 17/. per ton. A parcel of silver-lead ore from Wheal Arthur, in Calstock, has been assayed, and found to produce 15 cwt. in 20, and 133 OZ3. of silver to the ton of ore-value, 401. 103. The biddings for 24 tons of Court Grange silver-lead ore varied from 15/. per ton, by Thomas Somers, to 17/. 12s. 6d., by both Locke, Biackett, and Co , and Sims, Willyatns, Nevill, and Co. Daren Mine sold 10 tons of silver-lead ore at 151. per ton, to Newton, Keates, and Co. The 20 tons of E3gair Llee lead ore sold to Walker, Parker, and Co., have been delivered at Dee Bank, at ss. per ton freight. The Polberro tin sampling for the last month will be about 24 tons. The levels of old Polberro, on the copper lodes, are rather poor at present. Wheal Mary Emma sold 2 tons of black tin at 52/. ss. per ton. Birch Tor sold 2 tons of black tin to Messrs. Entho yen at 54/. per ton. At East Crowndale the bunch of tin discovered about a month since has extended itself to the 40 fm. level east, and the 50 fen. level towards this bunch of ore is looking well, and every foot driven improves in character and quality. A stone of tin of 60 per cent., weighing 491b5., has been sent from this mine to the Exhibition of In dustry of all Nations. A great improvement has taken place at North Wheal Robert. At East Wheal Russell the engine has been put in operation, and works exceedingly well. The lode in the shaft looks very promising. At Bedford United the lode in the 103 is still yielding 10 tons of ore per fm., and the lode in Arscott's winze is yielding 12 to 14 tons per fm. The Wicklow Copper Mine has declared its half yearly dividend, at the rate of '2O per cent. per annum.

The committee of management were re elect e d f or t h e en suing two months. At a meeti ng o f t h e fi n ance committee of Lamherooe Wheal Mari a , on Thursday, Captain Opie was app o i nte d agent of the mine, at the same salary as the late Captain Tabb. It was reso l ve d that machinery for stamping and dressing the tin ores now at surface, and raising from the 50 and 60 fin. levels engine-shaft, should be erected by contract without delay. The new discovery of a branch of pure tin, 4 to 5 in. wide, on the champion lode at surf ace, was reported by the superintendent to be worth 50/. per fathom. At the adjo urne d meeting of the United Mines, h e ld at Tavistock, it was stated that every share was taken up. The works were proressing in a most satisfat manner; the shaft was secugred to the 40 frn. level, c and the machinery in perfect repair. Accounts were shown that, from Wheal Anderton, now part of the United Mines, during the last three years , 169 tons 16 cwt. 2 qrs. 16 lbs. of tin bad been raised , which had realized committee was appointed ; C a pt a i n H 6,6 a 4 rp 2 c V n O o s m . 3d. ina Mr. Square, purser; and Mr. Matthew Loam, engineer. It was finally resolved that ted A tt;nt; the mine should be inspected by Captains Samuel See combe, Robert Dunstan, Richard Williams, James Car penter, and J. Lean, who should report thereon, and lay down a plan for future working. At the Old Brimpts meeting, held at Totnes, the cap tain reported that the stamps were in full operation. There was upwards of 5004 worth of tin at surface; and, from the superior quality of the lodes, both in the eastern and western sett, a great quantity of tin would be raised, so that the company could look forward to re ceiving dividends. According to an assay, m a d e at Ashburton, the ore was reported to be of 721- per cent., and its value 60/. per ton. The shareholders expressed tinancting lifitie , fieci witlA the YigilPee gad teoa9Pay dig played by the management, who had, in addition to clearing up the ancient workings, and driving two new adits, raised 500/. worth of tin, and brought the mine in cause of working by the trivial expenditure of 600/. The ground around the lodes is soft and congenial for tin, which has been found in large quantities, and with very little expense. A special meeting of Peter Tavy and Mary Tavy Consols was held on Tuesday, to confirm an amendment in one of their bye-laws, which will give the committee further power to carry on the workings of the sett with greater spirit, also preventing the adventurers from at tending useless meetings; this arrangement, it appears, has mat with the general approval of those interested in the adventure. The chairman read the captain's report end several letters, and pointed out the advantages expected to be derived from an addition that has lately accrued to the setts, and a reduction of duties. Costeaning will take place in Coles' land as soon as the weather will admit, to sink a new shaft a short distance from the present workings of the Great Wheal Friend ship, and it is expected the lode will be cut near the surface. The chairman and committee were compli mented upon the energetic and economical management pursued in carrying out the workings. The Imperial Brazilian produce returns from the 2d to the 22d of December show—from Gongo, 2lhs. 10 12 elfits., and from Banana!, 61bs-5 eas. 17 dwts. = 16lbs. 4 ozs. 9 d wts. The National Brazilian workings are proceeding in a satisfactory manner, end the lode is looking favourable. They have 240 tons of stone in store, waiting for the completion of the stamps' heads. Cuiaba produce, from Nov. 27 to Dec. 6 was 3 mks. 1 oz. 4 oils. 34 grs. The Linares agent reports the improvement of the lode in Wilson's shaft, and the 55 fathom level driving west from San Anton winze, as still continuing. The lode in the 45 fm. level, driving east of Shaw's shaft, is assuming a more regular character, and great expecta tions are entertained from a further prosecution of the 31 fin. level: the men are now stopping on tribute at 21 reals per arroba. The other workings continue without material alteration, but the weekly produce is increasing. The ore in stock at Linares on the Bth of February was 295 tons; at Baylen, 61; at Seville, 1781; at Malaga, 59; on board ship, 4315821 tons; besides which 214 tons had been sent for shipment. Advices have been received from the St. John I)el Rey Mining Association. The produce for November was 213•521b5. troy. The supply of stone continued very abundant, and there was ample employment for the people engaged on the workings. The profit for Oc tober was 2681. 13 , . 10d.; there had been expended for the railroad, spalling floor, aqueduct, &c., about 2,700r5., iron pipes, 9,000r5.; tiler, 409 rs ; cog-wheel, 1,513r5. The mine would be shortly in good working order. The Real del Monte Company's affairs are, we under stand, nearly brought to a close—a second division of assets amongst the debentureholders, of 11. per red de benture, and 2/. upon the outstanding 50/. loan of 1827, being now declared. There will, probably, be a final dividend of a few shillings more on each debenture. The produce of the Kongsberg Silver Mines, in Nor way, for the month of December, was 2,707 marks 21 ozs. fine silver; in December, 1849, it was 1,627 marks 1 oz. The entire production for the year, ending 31st of December, 1850, amounted to 17,476 marks 2 oz. fine silver; in 1849 it was 17,861 mks. 1 oz.—showing a de ficit on the year 1850 of 384 marks 7 ozs. There are, however, larger quantities of reserves, and several im portant discoveries have been made during the past year. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1851. FEBRUARY. Liverpool Spring .. MARCH.

DEATH OF Ma, MANNING.—The party who took the bet of 6,0001. to 1,0001. of Mr. Manning against Gre cian have agreed to dravv their 1,0001. The 6,000/. will necessarily be given to the legal representative of Mr. Manning, who, we believe, is Mrs. M.,:,nning, left sole executrix. We understand that notice will be given next week of the day on which the money will be re turned to persons holding tickets. MR. MANNING'S LIST BETS.—Captain Rous has given the following opinion on this subject:— " When a person dies all his bets become null and void. Money staked on horses which have not accepted is money won, and of course will not by returned. "2dli.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 22. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord CAINIP BELL and a Special Jury. WEAVER V. SMITH. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Bagley were counsel for the plaintiff, and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Wells fir the defendant. This was an action brought by Lieutenant Weaver, son of Captain Weaver, secretary to the Pentonville Prison, against the defendant, who represented the Daily News, to recover compensation for an article which ap peared in that journal, and which it was alleged was a libel. It appeared that something had taken place at the Thames Police -court, wherein a charge was made by a Miss Courtnay against Lieutenant Weaver of his having detained some shirtstuds, valued at ten guineas, which he hal originally given her, but which he had since bor rowed of her. The statement purported to be a report, or rather narrative, of what had taken place at the police court, and which, if not proved to be a correct report, was no doubt a libel. It is not thought necessary to repeat it. For the defendant, Mr. Elnor, who furnished a report, which, however, was abridged, was called, and he read from his notes what had taken place at the four dif ferent hearings which had been had at the police court, and which he had furnished to different Sunday papers, from which his report was copied into• the Daily News. The plaintiff, in reply, called witnesses to show that this report was incorrect. These witnesses were the clerk to the plaintiff's solicitor, the warrant-officer of the police-court, the second clerk, and the usher of that court, but some of them admitted that the article in the Daily News was very temperate. Lord CAMPBELL, in summing up, said that it would be for the jury calmly and deliberately to find their verdict, and that verdict would depend upon this question— whether that which the plaintiff comp l a i ne d of as a lib e l was a fair account of this pr ocee di ng at t h e Th ames Police•court between Mies Courtney and Lieutenant Weaver. If it were a true and fair account of those proceedings, then he was of opinion that in point of law the defendant was entitled to a verdict. There could be no doubt that the law would justify a fair account of the proceedings, although it might reflect upon any party whor name was brought forward; for it was of the last importance that the public should be furnished with fair reports of the proceedings in courts of justice; the benefit infinitely exceeded the evil, and he must go fur ther and say that it was not necessary that it should be a report of all that took place, for if that condition were imposed the liberty of the press would be totally useless, because it was not possible that all that took place should be put into print. For instance, the very eloquent speech they had heard from his brother Wilkins, if it were merely said that "Mr. Sergeant Wilkins eloquently replied," it would not follow from that that the account was an unfair one; or if it merely said that Lord. Campbell summed up and the jury returned their i ver dict," that would not show that it was unfair; but f the report were garbled, if anything was omitted, it any thing introduced that did not t a ke place, then tmight be libellous, and the law wo u ld punish it, and give re dress to the individual. Th e y were therefore to consider whether this was a fair report, and, if it was, the defend ant would be entitled to their verdict. Although the plaintiff might have been very ill•used, that was not a question for them to determine. It would be monstrous to say that the p u bli s her of a newspaper should be liable because the account given of a trial might reflect upon either of the parties or convey what was not true; it was only to be considered whether i t was a fair report. It could not be expected that the defendant was to prove that all that was said at the police-office was true. All that could be required was to show that the report was true. The defendant said it was a fa:r report, an d h e had called Mr. Elnor to pr ove it. They must first con sider whether they believed him; and, secondly, whether, believing him, they thought it made eut the po s iti on that this was a fair account o f the trial. Mr. Elnor seemed to him in every espect a gentleman in his ap- Nuance, and in the hPtery he had bim.eif, and certainly there were other persons who might have contradicted him if he had said that which was wrong; but it did not appear that the witnesses called in reply for the plaintiff had been employed in taking notes of the proceedings, or had their attention particularly called to the evidence. Still the question was for the jury. The jury retired for some time, and then sent to ask if a farthing damages would carry costs? Lord CAMPBELL sent for them, and stated, that although iu his opinion he saw no reason why he should not answer them, still his Learned brethren had con sidered that no answer should be given to that question. Acting upon that, they must again retire. The jury shortly returned, and gave a verdict for the plaintifi—Damages, one farthing. Lard CAMPBELL Gentlemen, I may now tell you that the plaintiff will not have costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 22. (Sittings at Nisi Pritv, at Guildhall, before the LORD CmEr JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) POLTER V. ENGLAND. _ This was nn aciC)ntorcCo - verdamag - es for false impri sonment brought by the defendant, who is a domestic servant, ag&inet his former master. Mr. Sergeant Allen appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr, Lush conducted the defence. From the evidence it appeared that plaintiff had for merly been in the service Jr the defendant, and had then re ceived 201. a year, with liveries found. There was, hoe ever, a stipulation that all the livery coats should be delivered up by the plaintiff on leaving•, and it was a rule with the defendant not to allow his servants any perquisites. The plaintiff left his service to be married, and on 911 doing, delivered up all the clothes which he had had from his master, with the exception of one coat, which was afterwards missed, and found by a po lice:nan, sent to search for it, in the posses sion of the plaintiff, who alleged that it had been given to him by his master. The plaintiff was then given into custody on a charge of steal►ng the coat, but was dismissed by the magistrate before whom the case was heard; and it was to recover damages for this im prisonment that the present action was brought. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHARN ClRCUlT.—Appleby, Feb. 21. Mr. Baron Platc arrived here yesterday afternoon, and immediately opened the commission; after which his Lordship proceeded to church and heard Divine service. This morning his Lordship sat for the trial of priso ners at half-past ten o'clock. There was no civil business whatever, not a single cause being entered for trial. The calendar was rather heavier than usual, there being 15 prisoners. Two of them were charged with setting fire to a steam-vessel on Lake Windermere; one was charged with arson in setting fire to a stack; all the rest were in custody under ordinary charges of larceny. _ John M'Donald was indicted for having, en the 24th of November last, set fire to a stack of oats at Brough Sowerby, belonging to Thomas Kilvington. The jury acquitted the prisoner. James Rudy, a respectable looking man, and Wm. Jackson Archer, were charged with setting fire to a steam-vessel called the Lord of the Isles, the property of the Windermere Steam Yacht Company, on the 31st of July last. _ _ Mr. Overend and Mr. M'Oubray appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Sergeant Murphy and Mr. Hodgson for the prisoners. It appeared, from the opening of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, that a company called th e Wiuder mere Steam Yacht Company had two steam-vessels ply ing on Lake Windermere, one called the Lord of the Isles, and the other the Lady of the Lake, which plyed alternately between Ambleside and Newby-bridge, calling at Bowness. On the evening of the 31st of July last both vessels were moored for the night at the pier at Bowness. The prisoner Hilly was fireman on board the Lord of the Isles, and the prisoner Archer was fireman on board the Lady of the Lake. Shortly before the Lord of the Isles reached Bowness that night, Hilly went to the captain and said he smelt fire on board the vessel. In consequence every part of the vessel was examined, but no traces of any fire whatever were discovered. This, it was suggested, had been done by him to disarm suspicion as against himself, as he knew what was going to happen. A man named Hay dock was watchman on board these two vessels at night, and before Haydock went on board the two prisoners were only left on board each his own vessel. On going down to the lake's side about ten o'clock that night, Haydock met the prisoner Archer, and asked him where he had left Hilly, and was told he was still on board the Lord of the Isles. Haydock went on board that vessel and shouted for him below, but received no answer, and then stepped on board the other vessel which was moored close to, and went below to bed. He had not been below many minutes before he heard a footstep cross the deck from the Lord of the Isles. About three o'clock next morning Haydock was awoke by the noise of fire, and on getting on to the deck he saw Hanes issuing out of the cabin windows of the Lord of the Isles. He immediately gave the alarm, and by the exertions of the inhabitants of the place the fire was got out, but neither of the prisoners, though informed of the fire, got up or gave the slightest assistance. This, and some conversations which they had of a suspicious cha racter With other persons, was all the evidence affecting them. The vessel was aft erwar d s exam i ne d by expe rienced persons om Liverpool, who gave it as their opinion that she had been set on file wilfully. At the close of the Learned Counsel's opening, Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, for the prisoners, asked his Lordship's opinion whether there was any case for the jury against the prisoners beyond suspicion? Hie LORDSHIP being of opinion that there was not, The Learned Counsel for the prosecution said he could carry the case no further, and would not, therefore, persevere with it. - The prisoners s ere thereupon Acquitted. This case concluded the criminal baldness, the assiz terminating about six o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARLBOROUGH-STREE7'. Arthur Loughs and Charles L. Douglas, two fashion ably-dressed young men, were brought before Mr. Hard wick, charged on the police-sheet with having obtained a quantity of goods from Mr. Henry Gabell, hosier, 6, Burlington-gardens, by false pretences. Mr. Gabell said that on the 7th of January last the prisoners drove up to his shop in a fashionable dog-cart, and told him they had just returned from France, and had lost their portmanteau, containing all their linen and under-clothing, and they wished to have a fresh supply front him. He told them it was not usual to give credit without knowing something of the party. They replied that their father was a respectable man, living in Kent, and ho need be under no apprehension about his money. The prisoners then gave a list of ar ticles which would amount to about 151., observing that the order would be a very nice one fur him. The pri soners took away some articles, and one of the prisoners at that moment had on a neck-tie obtaited 6, from him. e The prisoners gave the address, No. i terrace, Pimlico. Witness went to that address, an d made inquiries as to the prisoners' re spectability. The servant replied that the prisoners bad occupied apartments in the house for some time, and were highly respectable. Witness then went on with the order, and sent in some of the articles. Some short time afterwards witness sent a further portion of the goods, but they were brought back. From certain other cir cumstances which witness subsequently became ac quainted with, he considered he had been defrauded, and he caused the defendants to be taken into custody. Police-constable Downing, 1) 46, said that in conse quence of innumerable complaints at the station-house by tradesmen, who said they had been defrauded of goods by two young men, who answered the description of the prisoners, witness looked after them, and suc ceeded in taking them into custody. The prisoners had defrauded Mr. Morrison, tailor, St. Paul's-churchyard, of a pair of trousers, and Mr. Morrison would attend at a future time. Several other cases would no doubt be brought against the prisoners if they were remanded. Mr. Hartley, bootmaker, King-street, St. James's, said that the prisoners and a third young man drove up to his shop in a dog-cart, and one of them said he wanted a pair of dress boots, to go to a ball in Kent. The pri soner gave the name of Douglas, but the one now calling court deep interest himself Arthur assumed the na m e of Lione l. The other, calling himself Charles , sai d his name was Arthur. The third person he believed was a a t pp th ea at red momentto take i n a (pointing in to the p r a young oeee n a g n whos)but he would not swear to him. While witness was engaged in taking the order of his supposed customer a pair of dress boots was nipped up by one of the parties. A second pair was also taken away at the same time. The prisoners ordered several pairs of boots to be made, and then left. The address given visa No. 6, Belgrave-place, not terrace, and of course the prisoners were not known there. Witness met the prisoners afterwards by accident, and he then got their address, No. 6, Belgrave-terrace. Witness ap plied at the house, and was given to understand that either the father or the uncle of the prisoners lived there, who promised to see him paid. Witness had not been paid. Mr. Cross, who attended for the prisoners, contended that the cases were nothing more than debts, and that no pretence existed for charging the prisoners with fraud. Mr. HARDWICY could not take the same view of the case. He should require the prisoners to find good bail to appear again next Wednesday. LAMBETH. A lady of prepossessing appearance, who described herself as Lady Hunlingtower, appeared before the Hon. G. C. Norton, presiding magistrate, and presented a me morial setting forth that she had been deserted by her husband in 1848, and that his family had refused to re cognise her claims or supply her with any maintenance. Consequently, she was left with three infant children in a state of destitution. The Rev. Mr. Cuff, a clergyman of the district, stated that he had made inquiry into her case, and bore testi mony to her respectability before and since her marriage to Lord Huntingtower. In reply to the question of Mr. NORTON, the lady said that previous to her acquaintance with Lord Hunting tower she had lived as housekeeper to a clergyman in the vicinity of Bath. and also as companion to the lady of the Reverend Gentleman. While there she bad been engaged by a gentleman, who described himself as a bar rister, to be lady's maid and companion, as she under stood, to Lady Dysart. But on entering the service Lord Huntingtower at once made proposals of marriage to her, but said that he was in such a state of embar rassment at that time that he must go to Scotland to get married. She consented to accompany his Lordship, but only on the distinct understanding that he should perform his promise on reaching Scotland. On reaching Scotland they did not go through OD, ceremony, allying introduced her as his wife, and conceiving this to ho binding in 1° 5 marriage, she lived with him as hls wife. Her papers, she said, had been in the hands of a' barrister, who gave it us his opinion as tht the mirriage, acc ording to tb a law of S3otland, w binding; but not havi n g the means t° bring overthe necessary witnesses, she cou ld not enforce her rights. ,Mr. NonToN said her case was one deserving of sympathy, and gave her two sovereigns from the poor-box. THAMES. Thomas Bishop, 39, and John mHedermTahno:4laBs, co ploy of 2.1 r. Lucy, a lighterman, barge-owner, and tractor for removing mud from some of tha docks, vet brought before Mr. Ingham, charged throwing a quantity of mud into the river below n- Gree i with, the injury 115 a to ~.. incurred t penalties to the amount of 201. each• with ittPga", The ..
