Galignanis Messenger gives the following account of the different Members of the new Cabinet : M. de Thorigny, the Minister of the Interior, although not much known as a politician, enjoys a high reputation among the members of the bar of Paris and the magistracy, having greatly distin guished himself when Advocate-General of the Court of Appeal. He is an able speaker, and is said to have great administrative capacity. M. de Tho rigny is considered to be so important a member of the new Cabinet, that some of the journals have called it the Da Thorigny Adminstration. He is an advocate for the repeal of the electoral law of 1850, but demands, it is said, in the re-establishment of universal suf frage, the application of all just and salutary restrictions consistent with the principle laid down by the Constitution. M. de Thorigny has been generally regarded as belonging to the moderate Legitimatist party, but he has no engagements towards that party to shackle him in the post be now occupies. M. Corbin, the Minister of Justice, is even less known as a politician than M. de Thorigny, but his ability as Procureur- General at Angers, at the time of the trial of M. Ledru Rollin, in 1840, laid the foundation of the reputation that he has since had, and he filled tue same functions at the Court of Bourges. M. Corbin is a member of the great party of order, but without belonging to any particular fraction of that party, as po litically represented in the National Assembly. The Minister of Finance, M. Blondel, is known only as a man of ability in the Finance Department. As Inspector- General of Finance he has rendered great ser vices to the Government, and which have been warmly acknowledged by successive Ministers. M. Blondel has, it is said, introduced some important reforms in the Finance Department, and recommended others. M. Blondel was at one time charged with the direc tion of the finances in Algeria, and subsequently with the direction of civil affairs in that colony. He is now on a mission in Corsica, but it is to be presumed that his acceptance of the office was considered cer tain when the decree by which he is appointed was drawn up. M. Charles Giraud, the Minister of Public Instruction, has already held that o ffi ce. He is a friend of order, and is generally considered a mode rate Republican. M. Lacrosse, the Minister of Public Works, has also filled that office already with some distinction. This gentleman has always shown a warm attachment to the cause of order, and is said to have a strong personal regard for the Pre sident of the Republic. The new Minister of Marine, M. Hippolyte Fortoul, Professor of Belles Lettres and Dean of the Faculty of Aix, has acquired some cele brity as a writer in the cause of order, although some years ago he was supposed to have a socialist ten denc. At present, M. Fortoul's socialism goes no further than safe and practical amelioration of the condition of the working classes. His appointment as Minister of Marine would excite some surprise, as he has few of the acquirements which have been long considered essential for that office, were it not for the fact that the officers of the navy generally prefer seeing the post of Minister of Marine filled by a non-naval man, experience having shown that more impartiality and independence of the influence of a coterie are to be expected when that is the case. M. Turgot, the Minis ter for Foreign Affatrs, does ho‘nour, it is said, to the great name that he bears, but hitherto he has not fi gured very prominently in public affairs. As a member of the Chamber of Peers, his votes were al ways on the side of order and good government. M. Turgot is Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ist Legion of the National Guards of Paris. M. de Casabianca, the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, has enjoyed considerable influence in the National Assembly in consequence of the skill and moderation that he has shown as a Member of Committees, and although regarded as a warm partisan of the President of the Republic, he has ensured the esteem of the leading members of the Orleanist and Legitimatist parties. Of the administra tive capacity of General de Saint-Arnaud, the new Minister of War, little is known, but as a soldier he distinguished himself greatly in Africa, and stands high in the opinion of the superior officers of the army. The name of M. de Maupas, the new Prefect of Police, was little knows to the Parisians before his appoint • ment was announced in the Mallet'? ; but his energy and activity in the cause of order in the department of which he was Prefect were well known to the chief of the Executive Government. Succeeding as M. de Maupas does to one of the most efficient Pre fects of Police that Paris has had for many years, he will require all indulgence and impartiality. The proclamation which he has just issued shows his de termination to deserve the approbation and co- operation of good citizens. LOUIS KOSSUTH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A3 France is just now in the same position as she was previous to the revolution of 1789, and as it took then a little Corsican (who was an alien) to rule her destines, and who proved himself superior (since the time of Charlemagne) to any of the rulers either as a statesman or warrior, I do not see why France should not take a lesson from the past, and supply the future destinies of the Republic with another alien, in every way Equal to the exigencies of the times—that alien is L. Kossuth, who, I have no doubt, should the law of the 31st of May be re pealed, would be the future elect of France. I am, Sir, &c., London, Oct. 29, 1851. E. J. 0. M. THE SUN, LONDON, LIVERPOOL TOWN COUNCIL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The last meeting of the town council for the municipal year was held to day. Sir John Bent, the mayor, presided. Before the ordinary business of the council was proceeded with, a memorial from the inhabitants, very numerously signed, was read, calling upon the council to become the prosecutors in the inquiry about to-be held before the Earl of Carlisle into the conduct of Mr. Ramshay, the judge of our county court. Mr. Councillor SAMUEL HOLME, in moving that the council adopt the prayer of the memorial, and become the prosecutors in the inquiry, commenced his observations by remarking that the circumstances under which the memorial had been presented were entirely without precedent. Happily for this country there was no precedent—at least it was 200 years since a case at all resembling the present had hap pened. It was one of the blessings which we enjoyed that the laws in this country were administered with rectitude, and with a due regard both to the Crown and the people; the balance of justice was so evenly maintained that all cavilling at our judicial tribunals was rendered mute. They all knew that in their courts of law prejudice on the part of the judges was not allowed to prevail, that their temper or per sonal wishes were not allowed to sway their judg ment, and in the full confidence of their wisdom and integrity of purpose, the people of this country com mitted with perfect safety to their judicial tribunals the rights, the privileges, the property, nay, the lives of all those who resorted to them for justice and pro tection. Every man in the country had, conse quently, an interest in upholding the dignity of their judicial (tribunals, and it was therefore with great sorrow and pain he saw that in this town a gen tleman should (he believed for the first time in the history of the country) have so conducted the busi ness of the County Court of Liverpool as to have aroused the entire community.—(Hear.) Under the present extraordinary and unparalleled circum stances in which the town was placed, the bur gesses had exercised their undoubted right of memo rialising the council to take a part in the inquiry which was about to be held. It was on public grounds that he (Mr. Holme) supported the prayer of the memorial which had been read. He never saw Mr. Ramshay until a recent occasion, which he had already named at a former meeting of the council. He had scarcely ever heard of him until the recent proceedings before the Earl of Carlisle, and therefore it could not be said of him that he had any private feelings to gratify in the course which he was taking. It had been said that the pro ceedings going on against Mr. Ramshay were simply the result of a popular cry, but he believed that the council would do him the justice to say that such en observation could not be applicable to him. This question was one vitally affecting the public of this community ; and it was because he believed it to be his duty to urge upon the council to act upon this memorial, that he thus ventured to bring the question prominently before them. After referring at consi derable length to the circumstances in connexion with Mr. Ramshay's proceedings, which are already so familiar to the public, the speaker went on to contend that the council was the proper party to conduct the inquiry on the part of the town. The council was the representative of the burgesses, who were the ag grieved parties.—(Hear, hear.) If houses became a nuisance to the community, it was the business of the council to remove them. Is was the busi ness of the council to provide courts of law, and in many instances to pay the salaries, all being for the benefit of the community ; and by a parity of reasoning, be maintained that that council was the legitimate channel through which these pro ceedings ought to be conducted. It might be said that the council had nothing to do with it. Then, he would ask, who had to do with it? Were a few individuals to have the entire onus of conducting it thrown upon them ?—(Hear, hear.) He thought not. It might be said that to vote any portion of the a corpora t t h e a f t unds towards conducting fundsth e inquiry t he would tbou g b h () twssan maladministration idle f a r gument,those because, if they were so disposed, they might even double the allowance of their chief magistrate. They could vote money to welcome a stranger, and thou sands to do honour to their Queen, and therefore be thought it was a fallacy to say that they had not the power t o d evo te any portion of their funds in order, to remedy what he believed to be a public nuisance, for he could call it by no other name.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that so long as they were acting for the public benefit they had the power to expend their funds, and he had emphatically stated that this was a case involving the public benefit. This matter in volved a great constitutional question. " Sir," said Mr. Holme, addressing the mayor, " I look upon it as your question, as my question, as the question of every man in this town ; and I think that every in habitant, as far as in him lies, is bound to take steps to protect himself—be was almost going to say—from positive insult at the hands of our county court judge." After some further remarks in support of the council taking up the question, the speaker said that in the event of the Earl of Carlisle reinstating Mr. Ramshay, he (Mr. Holme) knew of no other course than that of calling a public meeting; and he had no doubt whatever that if the Earl did reinstate Mr. Ramshay a requisition to the Mayor to call a public meeting would be presented.—(Hear.) He unhesitatingly said that if an indiscreet gentleman like Mr. Ramshay was to be kept here, it would be the duty of the town to go to Parliament in order to have him removed— (Hear, hear) —for if he was to be permitted to carry out what he called the letter of the law in the manner he recently had done, and if the town was driven to the last extremity, he repeated that it would be the duty of the community to endeavour to obtain an Act of Parliament for the purpose of removing a man from amongst them whose temper was such as to prevent the inhabitants of this town from enjoying those ad vantages and privileges which were conferred by the passing of the County Courts Act. He therefore begged to move that the council adopt the prayer of the memorial, and that the town clerk be directed to conduct the approaching inquiry on the part of the corporation.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Avlsost, solicitor, briefly seconded the motion, reserving to himself the right to make some observa tions upon it in the course of the discussion.: Mr. Alderman BaAMLEY•Mooaa opposed the mo tion, on the ground that, to appropriate the corporate funds in conducting the inquiry would be decidedly illegal. He also contended that the council would be pre-judging the case if they took any part in the in quiry. In the course of his address, which was listened to with considerable impatience, Mr. Moore contended that Mr. Ramshay had been harshly used by the public of Liverpool. These observations were received with shouts of derisive laughter. After considerable discussion as to the legality of the corporate funds being applied in conducting the inquiry, The Towle CLERK was called upon for his opinion. He said his own opinion was, that it would be illegal to appropriate the money of the corporation in the manner proposed, but feeling some doubt about it he had submitted it to counsel. He wrote to Mr. Crompton, barrister, and that gentleman had for warded an opinion to the effect that to apply the funds of the corporation as proposed would be against the spirit of the Act of Parliament. The Town Clerk then proceeded to say that, being satisfied of the ille gality of so applying the corporate funds, he should refuse to countersign the order for payment of the money, should the council decide so to expend it. A very long discussion took place, in the course of which several councillors expressed themselves strongly in favour of the council becoming the prosecutors, but the general impression seemed to be that the opinion of counsel and the Town Clerk was fatal to this course. Mr. Ramshay's conduct was denounced in the strongest terms by every speaker, and several members of the council being satisfied that the corpo rate funds could not be legally touched, expressed their readiness to contribute liberally towards the necessary expenses. Ultimately Mr. Holme withdrew his motion, and substituted the following motion, which was carried by a majority of 51 to 3. Mr. Holme remarked, that seeing the impossibility of carrying his original motion in the face of counsel's opinion, he had so modified it as to express the opinion of the council on Mr. Ram shay's extraordinary proceedings. The motion as carried was as follows " That in the opinion of the council, the circumstances which have taken place in relation to the course pursued by the Judge of the County Court for this district are such as to call for an inquiry before the proper authori ties; but this council having been advised that it cannot legally expend the corporate funds in prosecuting such inquiry, regrets that it cannot comply with the prayer of this memorial." Several members of the council suggested the pro - priety of calling a public meeting, and it is fully expected that a requisition to the Mayor, to call such meeting for the purpose of raising funds to conduct the inquiry, will be presented to-morrow.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice MAULS and Mr. Justice CREFSWELL.) Yesterday Josiah Westley, 39, bookbinder, was in dicted for feloniously forging and uttering a bill of exchange, for 1001, with intent to defraud Messrs. Glyn and Co. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone were counsel for the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine. From the opening speech of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner, who had carried on a considerable business as a bookbinder in Playhouse-yard, Blackfriars, had, for three or four years, kept an account with Messrs. Glyn and Co., and latterly they had discounted bills for him for a considerable amount. On the 21st of April of the present year the bill in question, which purported to be accepted by James Gilbert, a bookseller, at York, was so discounted in the ordinary way of business, and the account placed to the credit of the prisoner, and upon the bill becoming due it was dishonoured, and this led to inquiry, which resulted in the discovery that there was no such person as James Gilbert at York, and the present prosecution was, in consE quence, instituted against the prisoner. Mr. Williams, the discount clerk at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s, produced the books, and proved the formal facts of the case. In addition to the bill which was the subject of the indictment, he proved that two other bills for the respective amounts of 113/. 153., and 1151., apparently accepted by George Master, a printer at Leeds, were also discounted for the pri • soner. Upon being cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON, the witness stated that the discount transactions of the prisoner with the bank had been very extensive, pos sibly to the amount of 29,0001. since his account was first opened. The prisoner had represented that his capital was not sufficient to carry out his business, and he repeatedly applied for discount accommodation, and the prisoner had given the bank a lien upon some property in which he had a reversionary interest, as security for the advances they made to him. The wit ness also said that inquiries were made, when two of the bills he had referred to were dishonoured, but no criminal proceedings were taken against the prisoner until after he was declared a bankrupt. Some witnesses were then called who proved that there was no such person as James Gilbert, a book seller at York, or George Master at Leeds. Mr. CLARKSON, at the close of the case for the pro secution, said that the prisoner desired himself to ad dress the Court in answer to the charge. He accordingly read a written statement to the fol lowing effect :—The prisoner said he was placed in his present painful position by circumstances over which he had no control ; and as to the charge of forgery, or feloniously uttering a forged instrument, he was en tirely innocent, and he had hoped down to the very last moment to be able to produce the persons who had in reality committed the offence he was charged with. He entreated the jury to take into con sideration not only the position of himself, but that of his wife and family, and to believe that it was possi ble for an innocent person to be made the victim of really guilty parties who declined to come forward and expose their guilt. His present unfortunate po sition arose entirely from the conduct of one of his relations, who was under great obligation to him for having set him up in business. Having himself a large business, requiring sometimes so much as 1001. or 2001. per week for the payment of wages, the jury would naturally suppose that he was occasionally pressed for money, and having mentioned his diffi culty to his brother, he told him that he could pro cure him accommodation acceptances. Placing con fidence in the representations of his brother he did draw these bills, and his brother procured the accept• ances for him, and he believed them to be genuine, and passed them away as such to Messrs. Glen and Co., and he intended to have taken up the bills when they arrived at maturity, but was prevented from doing so by unforeseen circumstances. He said that so much as 90,0001. of his money had passed through the hands of the bankers on his ac count, and they held security upon property which had been recently valued at 4,0001., and he therefore thought that he had some claim upon them ; and he called the attention of the Court and jury to the fact that they did not take any proceedings against him until he was declared a bankrupt. The prisoner, in conclusion, asserted in the most solemn manner that he was guiltless of any knowledge of the forgery, or of any intention to defraud the prosecutors. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL in summing up said, that as there was no evidence to support the charge of forgery the only question for the jury to consider was, whether the prisoner had uttered the instru ment in question with a guilty knowledge that it was forged. It was his duty to tell them that in point of law the placing the name of a non-existing person as an acceptor to a bill of exchange, with intent to de fraud, amounted to the crime of forgery, and it was for them to say whether, upon the evidence, they were satisfied that when the prisoner passed away this bill he was aware that no such person as James Gilbert, bookseller, at York, was in existence. They had heard the statement that was made by the prisoner, and his admission that the bill was an accommodation bill, but it was for the jury to consider whether, even accord ing to his own showing, he must not have known that there was no such person as James Gilbert; and if he did know this, his offence in law amounted to utter ing a forged instrument. It was evident that there had been very extensive discount transactions between the prisoner and the bank, and it was certainly rather a curious circumstance that when two of the bills had been dishonoured, and inquiries had no doubt been made respecting him, that no steps had been taken against the prisoner until he was declared a bank rupt. The jury would, however, take all the circum stances of the case into their consideration, and if the statement made by the prisoner raised any serious doubt in their mind s u p on th e su bj ec t t b ey wou ld o f course give him the benefit of such doubt, and say th t he was not guilty. The jury retired, and were absent about half an hour, when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. BODKIN said there were two more indictments against the prisoner, having reference to the other bills; but as they involved the same facts he did not think it necessary to proceed with them after the con clusion the jury had arrived at. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly taken upon both charges. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. WHOLESALE UTTERERS OF COUNTERFEIT COIN. —Yesterday a man and woman, who gave their names Thomas Meredith and Mary Wilson, were brought before Mr. Long, charged with having in several instances uttered counterfeit coin, and it is imagined that for some time past they have carried on their nefarious calling to a considerable extent, the spurious pieces being for the most part half crowns, a great number of which, bearing date 1817 and 1822, have been within the last few months passed to tradesmen in and around the metropolis. The court was much crowded during the proceedings, which excited a considerable degree of interest; the female prisoner has before been brought up as a " smasher." George Stacey, barman at Mr. Smith's, the Lord Tyrawley, High-street, Marylebone, deposed that on the previous afternoon between four and five o'clock, the woman Wilson came to the house and asked for a quartern of gin and a half-pint of porter; she drank the beer, and the spirits having been put into a bottle, which she brought with her, she threw down a half-crown in payment. Witness discerned that it was a bad one, and told her so, when she said she was not aware of such being the case, but that she expected her husband in presently, and he would pay for what she had had. In a few minutes Mere dith came in and paid for the spirits and beer with a sixpence, receiving a penny in change. The priso ners went away, witness keeping possession of the counterfeit half-crown. A second charge was gone into against the prisoners. Alfred Beshonden, waiter to Mr. Wolff, an eating house keeper in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, stated that on the previous evening, at a quarter be fore six, Wilson came into the shop, and he supplied her with a basin of alamode beef. He gave her 2s. ld. in change for a half-crown, and she quitted the premises. A third charge was gone into, from whi c h it ap peared that between six and seven in the previous evening "Wilson passed a bad half-crown at the shop of Mr. Appleton, Foley-street, Portland-place, in payment for a pot of bear's grease. Sergeant Hardwick, a plain clothes officer of the D division, said that having heard of there being a barmaid in " Bloomer" costume at the Lord Tyrawly Arms, he went thither out of mere curiosity, and during the short time he was standing at the bar he witnessed the passing of a spurious half-crown. lie followed the prisoners after they quitted the pre mises, and having kept a close watch upon them in their progress through different streets, and witness ing their manceuvres, ultimately took them into custody. He (witness) produced three counterfeit half-crowns which the female prisoner had uttered, and he proved that while watching the prisoners they separated, and again met two or three times, thus proving the connexion between them with regard to their malpractices. Other evidence was gone into, and the prisoners were remanded until Thursday next, upon which day the Mint solicitor will be in attendance, and they (prisoners) will be sent for trial. FRIDAY EVENING-, OCTOBER 31, 1851 WESTMINSTER. THE BRUTAL' dHIID — iiH111;;;::-- William Smith alias Glenister, Aged 21, late a labourer umployed at the Equitable Gas-works, Thames-bank, was brought up for re-examination, charged with the brutal murder of May LlizAbetia Reynolds, aged 17 months, the illegitimate child of a woman with whom he cohabited, in Douglas-street, Westminster. The particulars of the previous examination were fully detailed in our impression of Saturday last ; since which a coroner's jury has returned a verdict of wilful murder against the accused. The court was crowded with persons anxious to see the prisoner and hear the proceedings. The following fresh evidence was adduced to the depositions previously taken : Elizabeth Reynolds (the mother of the deceased child), afrer identifying the shirts found in the room covered with blood, as those worn by the prisoner and the infant when she left it in bed on the night before its barbarous murder, said—As soon as I got home, and found my baby dead, I went to the gas factory, and saw the prisoner, and said to him' " My baby is dead." He said, " dead ?" I replied "yes," and he then said, I went home very drunk, and when I got home the baby was crying." Mr. BRODERIP—Now, take care, and give your evidence without fear or favour. Speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Witness—He then said he took the child up, and brought it down stair:. He did not know what to do —he would drown himself at once. Mr. Taylor (the chief clerk)—llid he say what had become of the baby P Witness—No.: Mr. BRODERIP—IIave you never told any one else that he told you what had become of the baby ? Witness—l cannot remember. The question was repeated as to whether she had not told her landlady, when she made a similar reply. The object was to elicit from her a repetition of a statement she had made to the landlady, that the pri soner told her he had killed the child, hut, as it is contrary to the practice of law to crow-examine wit nesses in evidence in chief, or in any way to lead them, the question was not pressed, and the witness was ordered to stand down. Caroline Maria Lann sworn—l was in my sister's room, at 6, Douglas-street, on the evening of last Thursday. Her room adjoins the prisoner's, and her door was open. I heard the prisoner come home at about half-past seven. He appeared to be intoxicated. He stood on the landing a few minutes, and I heard him say, " All's right," which he repeated three time, and then went into his room and shut the door. The child was then quiet, and I suppose asleep, but in five minutes after I heard it cry. He swore at the child, and said, "If you're not quiet, I'll kill you." I then heard him slapping the child, and a noise as though it was the child thrown down on the floor. I then heard the child scream violently. Mr. BRODERIP—Did you hear it scream imme diately after the fall ? Witness—l did. Witness continued—l then heard him say, "If any one interferes with me I'll serve him the same." He continued to slap the child, and said, "I am mi serable; my life is a misery ; I might as well be hung; I know I shall be hung." I called out to my sister to come and look after the children, as I could not bear to remain in the room. Just as I left the room I heard a noise like the child's being thrown down again. Mr. BRODERIP—Did any cry follow ? Witness—. Yes; I heard the child cry again. Mr. G. Pearse, of Regent•street, Westminster, surgeon, said—Since I was here on the last occasio❑ I have made a post mortena examination. In addition to my former testimony, I found to semi-circular marks on the left leg, and another on the instep, with indentations, apparently by a bite with teeth. There was no bruise upon the right leg, which was broken. I found an old fracture of the right collar-bone. The internal organs of the chest and abdomen are perfectly healthy. On opening the scalp I found a large spot of extravesated blood, covering nearly the whole of the right side of the head ; and on the right hemi sphere of the brain large clots of blood extravasated. The extravasation of blood on the brain was the cause of death. Mr. BRODERIP - With the exception of the bites, were the injuries such as might have been produced by the child being dashed violently down ? Mr. Pearse—Yes, sir. Mr. BRODERIP—Were the marks on the leg those of human or quadruped teeth? Can you say ? Mr. Pearse—Of human teeth. This closing the case for the prosecution, the de positions of the several witnesses were read over, and Mr. Broderip, in due form of law, asked the prisoner whether he wi,hed to say anything. Prisoner—All I have got to say is that I have no recollection of what I done after I got home. Mr. BRODERlP—Prisoner at the bar, the case is complete against you, but as there is no certainty as to whether the grand jury may or may not be dis charged before the witnesses can attend before them, I remand you until Saturday next, on which day it will be my duty to commit you for trial upon the charge of wilful murder. _ _ _ The prisoner, who at first appeared perfectly un concerned as before, but whose self- possession forsook him towards the last, his whole frame bearing evi dence of the struggle within, entreated, before leaving the court, to be allowed to have a few words conver sation with the child's mother. Mr. BRODERIP consented to grant an interview in the presence of the officer having charge of the case, but as the woman refused it did not take place. As the accused was being conducted to the cell, he hysterically tore off his neckerchief. SOUTHWARK. SUSPICIOUS CASE OF CONCEALMENT. - Alfred Collins, a well dressed young man, was brought up for re-examination, charged with concealing himself in a bed-room of the Rising Sun, public-house, Blackfriars-road, for the purpose of committing a felony. The prisoner was found concealed in the landlord's bed •room at a late hour of the night, and was secured by one of his daughters in the act of rushing out of the house. His excuse was that he had mistaken it for the club-room, and it was suspected that he had gone there with a view of robbing the place, as upon the same evening a loan society had met at the Rising Sun, and the fact being known to the prisoner he supposed that the cash-box would have been deposited in the landlord's bed-room as the safest place, and that he (the prisoner) intended to have plundered it of its contents. On tae occasion of his first examination, the prisoner asserted that he was a shoemaker at Camden Town, and denied that he went to the house for an unlawful purpose; he was therefore remrnded for the purpose of having inquiries made as to his character. A policeman of the A division now attended, and stated that the prisoner was connected with a daring gang of burglars, and that since his liberation from a late imprisonment he lived i❑ a place called Vinegar ground. Ttiat he had on a previous occasion concealed himself in the bed-room of another public-house in Bermondsey, and jumped out of the window to es cape. That he was summarily :convicted of an of fence on a recent occasion at one of the police-courts, and had only been a few days liberated when he was found concealed in the bed-room at the Rising Sun. Several of his associates had been transported, and the policeman added that when the prisoner had been in attendaece that morning he begged of him not to appear against him to communicate what he knew of his character. Mr. ELLIOTT said that he had heard quite suffi cient to convince him that the prisoner's intention in concealing himself in the bed-room of the Rising Sun was for the purpose of plunder, and to justify him in committing him for three months. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, OCT. 28.—The supply of fat beasts to-day was not so large as it has been for several past markets, and most of them were disposed of. The number of sheep was not large, tor which there was a good demand fully maintaining last week's prices. There'were more calves shown and readily sold. Fat pigs about the average, without any alteration in the price. The quotations—Beef, 4i d to 5d ; mutton, 5d to sid; veal, 5d to sid per lb; pigs, 7s to 78 3d per score; rough fat, 3s 6d per stone of 141bs; bides, lid to per lb; calf s ki ns , 2d to 3id per lb.
