'thereby ; and is not the certain conseluence of gold being fixed at the low price of 31. 17s. to d. per ounce, the prieot b )re before taxation was so largely im t .osed, that the present low and unremunerating prices fur com modities and labour in this highly -taxed country are to be attributed ? The Committee deem the prosperity and happiness of the labonfing clisses of the United Kingdom and its de pendencies, especially Scotland and Ireland, at the pre sent moment, to be so much involved in the issue, that they offer to appoint three gentlemen to meet Messrs. Cobden, Villiers, and Bright, on behalf of the Council, to discuss any point of difference that may arise. They propose that it shall be competent for each party to in troduce twelve other gentlemen to be present at the dis cussion, and that reporters, mutually agreed on, and at joint expense, shall be employed with the understanding that an authorised report of the proceedings shall forth with be published.—l hare the honour to remain, Gen :tle`men, your very obedient servant, (Signed) ALEX.

Charles Goodwin Bateman, Esq The objects of this undertaking are to unite the Bristol with the English Channel, and to afford a direct, speedy, and cheap communi cation between the three centres of population- in Devonshire, :viz., Bideford and Barnstaple on the north, Plymouth and Devonport ou the south, and Exeter on the east ; and to supply to the inhabitants of the districts through which the lines of Railway will pass the advantages of manure, coals, and general merchandise, at an im mense reduction of cost, and the means of conveying their agricul tural produce, timber, and other goods to the best markets. The Railway is intended to commence at the Town and Port of Bideford, and to proceed by the town of Okehampton to the Borough of Tavistock, where it is to communicate with the branch of the South-Devon Railway, which is to be made from Plymouth, and for which a Bill is now before Parliament. A branch will connect the populous and flourishing Borough of Barnstaple with the main line, and another branch will pass from the main line through Bow, and join the Exeter and Crediton Line at Crediton. The length of the main line will be about forty-two miles, and of the branches about twenty-three miles; making together sixty-five miles. Estimates of the traffic have been prepared by competent parties, and the result is, that, after allowing a deduction of forty per cent. for the working expenses, the net returns are calculated to amount to more than six per cent. per annum on the required capital, without taking into account several future sources of income which the Rail way will create. The Port of Bideford, on the Bristol Channel, which has been se lected fur the commencement of the Railway, already possesses a large and increasing trade. Its imports of limestone, calm, coals, and iron from Wales are very considerable ; whilst there are also large imports of foreign timber, and general merchandise from more distant parts, and exports of potters' clay, agricultural produce, &c. At the other end of the line are the important towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, with the Naval Arsenals, and a population (includ ing their suburbs) of 100,000 inhabitants, dependent, in part, for their supplies on the district through which the railway will pass. The intermediate towns of Torrington, Okehampton, and Tavistock are the centres and markets of large agricultural districts, the produce of which will be greatly enhanced by the abundant and cheap supply of lime which this railway will afford. Between Torrington and Okehampton there are almost inexhausti ble beds of potters' clay and pipe clay, large quantities of which are now sent to Bideford, for exportation to Liverpool and other places ; and those quantities would be very greatly increased by this cheap medium of conveyance. Great facilities would also be thus afforded for the transport of the valuable timber which abounds on the banks of the River Torridge, and which can at present scarcely be brought to market on account of the expense of conveyance. In the neighbourhood of Okehampton, and extending towards Tavistock and Launceston, are extensive beds of limestone and numerous lime-kilns, which will receive their supplies of culm by this railway from Bideford ; and from those lime-kilns, as well as from Bideford, the whole district can be well supplied with lime, whica is almost the only manure used by the agriculturist' in the neighbourhood. There are also valuable slate quarries and mines of copper ore, manganese, &c., the products of which will be thus conveyed for exportation. About three miles from Okehampton, and near the proposed line are granite torrs or hills of great value, the granite being nearly white in colour, and capable of receiving a high polish. Nothing but this Railway is wanting to enable parties to export many thousands of tons of this beautiful material for Lon don and elsewhere. Many parts of the district, particularly the neighbourhood of Oke hampten, possess advantages for the employment of capital, which this Railway will tend to call into action, there being inexhaustible powers of water for propelling machinery, which have been hitherto unemployed from the want of communication with the sea. The woollen trade is already partially carried on in the neighbourhood of. Okehampton ; but a very great extension of its operations may be flaky anticipated, when a facility of intercourse is obtained. The branch to Crediton will open, by means of the Exeter and Crediton Railway, a commurecation between the nortikrn and western parts of the county and Exeter, where the assizes and ses sions are held, and the chief public business of the county is trans acted, and from whence passengers can proceed by railway to Bristol, London, and the north of England, as well as to the much frequented watering-places of Dawlish, Teignmouth, and Torquay. The great importance of this railway to the landholders and general population in the central parts of the county through which the line will pass, will appear from the fact, that the price of lime will be re duced to them 40 per cent., and of coal 50 per cent. The local population which would be benefited by the construction of this railway exceeds three hundred thousand persons. The Railway may be justly regarded as not merely a county, but a national undertaking, as it will tend to shorten and facilitate the communication between the great naval port of Plymouth and the southern shores and central and eastern districts of Devonshire with Ireland and Wales ; the distance by sea from Bideford to Swansea being not more than forty-two miles. When the South-Wales Railway is constructed, travellers may go from the south of Devon to Bideford by this Railway, cross nom thence to Swansea by steam-packets, and - proceed by the former Railway to Fishguard (where a great Irish packet-station is to be established), and to Pembroke Dockyard and Milford Haven. The country through which this line of Railway will pass is pecu liarly favourable in an engineering point of view for ita construction. The surveys will be forthwith completed by the Company's Engineers, who are well acquainted with the district, having surveyed the country in 1831 and 1832, and who are confident, from long expe rience, that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the con struction of the Railway, which is intended to be a single track of rails, of the same gauge as the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Railways, with sidings or passing places at the sta- Bons, and a double track on part of the main trunk. The landowners on the line are extremely favourable to the pro ject and are anxious to have a railway communication opened, which is calculated so materially to benefit their estates ; many of them have already signified their intentions of becoming Shareholders i❑ this Company. In the allotment of the shares preference will, of course, be given to parties who have a local interest in the under taking. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act of Parliament, which is to be obtained for making this Railway, to allow interest on the deposits and calls paid on the shares, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, until the opening of the whole line. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his shares. The Prospectus and the Form of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Solicitor, Local Agents, or Secretary. Applications for shares to be forwarded to the Solicitor, 30, Basing hall-street, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Bideford and Tavistock Rail way Company. Gentlemen, I request that you will allot to ins Shares in the above Company ; and I hereby undertake to accept the same, or such less number as may be allotted to me, and to pay the Deposit thereon ; and also to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when called upon so to do.

In a war between America and there is no probable ground to proceed upon—but be- England there must necessarily be the super. cause this ESCOTT—of course, letter and figure—is a police added aggravations that attach to all contests constable. " I have nothing whatever to do, Sir," says between cognate races, speaking one and the Mr. BOND, " with regard to the management of the same language, and living under laws and police." What of that? Has he no cognizance to take usages derived from one common stock. Next to a of offenders, policemen or not ? If the constable mis civil war, a war between two states standing in such conducts himself (he adds) or any complaint is l relation to each other involves perhaps the greatest lodged against him, he must be taken btfore the Cum collision of kindred interests, and habits, and associa- missioners of the Police, who, "if they saw occasion," tions. Entertaining these views, we shall not be sup - would order the constable to be brought before him , to be dealt with according to law. But what if they should posed to undervalue by one iota the gravity of such a not °°seeoccasiun ?" Now, among ,among the very numerous catastrophe as a war with the United States.

We bear sizes—we have. se. n several of personal outrages ad in mind the circumstances that must make such a war duced, and in several instances established. Suppose one of intense and exterminating animosities as long other Magistrates bad held the same opinions as it shall last. All this, however, conceded, we as Mr. BOND, how would those culprits have cannot too much depricate the illogical and unstates- ever been committed ? Does Mr. BOND imagine that manlike argument that we see occasionally suggested he is administering justice in the name of the QUEEN'S I in English as well as American papers, founded on Majesty, or of the Commissioners of the Police ? And the comparative worthlessness and remoteness o f the does he seriously imagine that any man in his senses Oregon territory. It would be easy for us to sho w , will submit to carry his complaint against a policeman that so far as regards the territorial worth of the for an assault or an annoyance , or a suspicion of fulo or the Scotl a nd-y a rd Commis ace, this argument is based on deficient or i n a c- nious intent, hef siuners in the first pl e ace, to be remitted to the proper curate information as to the geography and statistics tribunal in the second, only in the event of of that region. So far as regards its remoteness these Commissioners, forsooth, " seeing occa the argument proceeds on a total oversight of the sion" for it ? We are really sick of the ridiculous numerous and growing relations of the Oregon with pretensions and vagaries of the police constabulary on other territories, the development of which may be n,any recent occasions. But, for Heaven's sake, let the calculated on any day to precipitate hostilities. Now, Commissioners stick to their drillings and reports, and since it is apparent, upon authority which all the sub- marehings and counter•marchings, without presuming to terfuges of Mr. GREENUOW or Mr. POLK can no interfere between the subjects of the QUEEN and their more shake than they could have shaken the intrepi- remedy against any members of a paid constabulary who dity of VANCOUVER and other British discoverers on may have acted illegally towards them. We entirely coincide in Mr. DUNN'S opinion of his own case : — The that coast, that all the rights of prior discovery a nd legal possession—taking, in the first instance , and o f conduct of the constable has been illegal (unless, in subsequent occupation—de facto, are in our favour ; deed, he have a pocket warrant from the Home Secretary) and though we should deprecate all extreme measures' -since the rights acquired under these titles by British subjects have been. largely improved to the advan- we should not particularly lament if such intolerable and suspicious intrusion on any Englishman's privacy bad tage of British commerce and the extension of Bri- been summarily chastised in the person of a policeman Usti influence; since they have become the objects of in plain clothes, whose actions must really have borne so especial recognition and protection in treaties exe- felonious an aspect. Mr. BOND was bound, at all events cuted between this country and other independent to hear the charge; but he seems to have been impressed powers ; since the actual British proprietary on the with as reverential an awe for the aristocratic majesty of soil, holding immediately under the English Crown, the Police Commissioners, as the Inspector FORBES is an association—the N or th W es t Company, which himself ; from whose refusal to listen to Mr. DUNN pre now incorporates in its own constitution the still viously, he seems indeed to have taken his own cue. ntore ancient rights of the Hudson's Bay Company ; since this proprietary is established under a royal charter, conceived in the most express and specific terms, and granted by the SOVEREIGN of these realms ;—on all these accounts, the value or the worthlessness of the Oregon is absolutely beside the question. We have solemnly affirmed our claim. The antagonist claim of the United States has been as solemnly and unconditionally repudiated by the Prime Minister in Parliament, with the concurrence of all parties in the Legislature. Therefore, the national honour is now dikinctly com mitted to the vindication of our title to the Oregcn. It cannot be compromised. Were it the most worth less property in the world, such, for example, ,as a money bond, or any other undertaking, to pay upon honour of the Federal Government or of one of the States—a Pennsylvanian bond or National States Bank debenture ; if we had once taken this tone and attitude upon it, we could not possibly recede from that position. For ourselves, we have little doubt that the steady maintenance of that position will pre clude all necessity for ulterior demonstrations. If the Government of the United States, contemptible as it is in respect of any power of independent decision or action, could really be insane enough to provoke in the present dilapidated condition of its material forces of its army, its navy, its forts, the exposed posi tion of its principal cities and towns on its Atlantic sea board, and at the certain risk of bringing upon the coasts of its southern and its western States a servile war, waged by the free blacks of St. Domingo and the British West India Islands, reinforced by their emancipated brethren of Cuba and the cruelly used slave races of Georgia, Ala bama, and the Carolinas. There are yet other eisabilities pressing upon America, which must incapacitate her, or paralyse her powers of re sistance. An influence to which her utilitarian spirit will be far more susceptible, we opine, than to suggestions of moral justice, or national dignity, is sapping, if we may credit the American papers, the foundation of her political existence. Bankruptcy appears _to be fast gaining ground from the ex tremities to the heart of the Union. A paper says :—" The interest upon the funded debt of the Commonwealth, in August, will not be paid. That you may rely on. It is utterly impossible under existing circumstanceS; says a prominent Member of the House." This is, to say the least of it, a graceful attitude to assume at the commencement of a struggle in which the wealthiest and most powerful empire of the Old World is to be defied! But it is an exquisite commentary on the balderdash of the New York Herald, which reasons on the rhodomontades of Irish agitation excitement in Dublin, as if they were all Gospel truths, or calculated to scare one English bosom, the resolution of which has once been formed, on a question of national honour, and sym pathies, such as that of the Oregon. But here we pause. It is by no means our intention to do the New York Bobadil the honour of repeating his miserable little barkings at British greatness. Madrid journals of the 4th inst. have been received. The Chamber of Deputies had adopted by a large majority a resolution authorising the Government to regulate the public debt. During the discussion which took place the Minister of Finance said there was no in tention either to raise a new loan or increase the taxes. The interest of the debt was large, amounting to 330 ; 000,000 reals (3,300,0001.), but Spain had ample means to meet all her engagements, provided she be well governed, and the resources at her disposal be pro perly applied. The Chamber was to take into consideration on the sth inst. the project of law lately presented by the Minister of the Interior, authorising him to negotiate a loan of 15,000,000 reals, to be applied to the construe tion of roads. The Three per Cent& closed at 34i for cash, and 351 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 251 at GO days; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 13-16 at 60 days. The Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris has been adopted in the Chamber of Deputies, by a ma jority of 227 to 131—majority. 96. The clause for depositing the artillery in the town of Bourges, not to be removed but in the event of war, was agreed to. with the consent of the Government. The affair is thus settled to the satisfaction apparently of all parties, with the exception, perhaps, of the Marquis DE LA 110CIIEJAQUELIN, and a few other Legitimatists. In reference to this Bill, the Journal des Debuts makes these remarks :—" Every ene is agreed as to two points —first, that in time of peace the fortifications of Paris should not be armed ; and, secondly, that in order to quiet every apprehension, the artillery to be employed on the fortifications should not be placed too near the capital. Marshal SOULT, President of the Council, when he introduced the Bill, at present be re the Chamber; designated Bourges as the town in which it was proposed to deposit the artillery and military stores. The Committee on the Bill has after ma ture re&ction proposed, by an additional clause, that the artillery end military stores intended for the fortifica tions of Paris shall be deposited at Bourges, and shall not be transported to Paris except in case of war. M. BETHmoNT by his amendment required that the artiliery should not be removed to Paris except by virtue of a special law. We candidly confess that we find no essential difference between M. ....ETHMONT'S arneni ment and the clause proposed by the Committee. The guarantee is the same. The Bill having declared that artillery cannot be transported to Paris except in case of war, suppose that a Minister was so audacious as to violate the clause of the Bill, and to arm the fortifications in time of peace, or under a pretext of war, not really serious, would not the Chambers be at hand? And can it be seriously asserted that in order to encompass Paris with cannon a Ministry would -violate the constitution ? But it is manifest that a Mi nistry which would be capable of making such an attack on the fundamental law of the kingdom, on t h e Cham bers, and on the entire nation, would not be arrested by a clause in a Bill. Whether the law shall so declare it or not, the period at which the fortifications of Paris should be armed will ever be a Parliamentary question as long as there shall exist in France a constitution. The charter does not declare that the Chambers shall re ac I e iING ; and having declared still discuss questions of peac e and war . Itsayssla singleapparently the contrary. It declar es that the KING may declare e w x a a r m a p n l d e conclude eannetbe treatiesgiven of t of war or signed a peace without the intervention of the Chambers. It is not solely because treaties of peace, like declarations of war, almost always induce a vote for supplies—it is because Ministers are responsible for every act of the KING, and . ,,that as a last result every act must be discussed at the tribune." According to the Revue de Paris, a grand congress of kings and queens will take place at Paris in the course of the ensuing summer. That journal says : " The report that several crowned heads are soon to arrive at Paris is daily more and more confirmed. Well informed persona affirm that this meeting of constitutional' sovereigns will take place in July. The illustrious personages who are to be the guests of the King of the French are the Queen of England, the young Queen of Spain, the King and Queen of Naples, and the King of Holland. Louis Philippe and his family will do those several sovereigns the honours of France and Paris. The Duke and Duchess de Nemours will go and meet her Britannic Majesty, who will first arrive ; the Prince de Joinville will repair to the frontier of Spain in order to re ceive the young Queen of that country ; the Duke d'Aumale will proceed to Marseilles and receive his uncle, the King of Naples; and the Duke de Montpensier will receive the King of Holland, who will come by sea, and land at Dunkirk. In order to give a suitable reception to those august visitors, the apartments formerly occupied at the Louvre by Henry IV. will be, in addition to the Tuileries, thoroughly repaired and sumptuously furnished." The Journal des Debuts publishes extracts from let ters received from Macao, announcing that there is a probability of the revocation of the law in China against the propagation of the Christian religion, but we can place no confidence in the accounts transmitted to that journal from China, for they are generally either mere rumours or same fictions of the writer. The following is the statement :-- " We have received letters from Macao containing intel ligence which, if it be confirmed, will produce a lively sensa tion in Europe, and do great honour to the French mission in China: It is nothing less than the abolition of the religious edicts which forbids the Chinese to embra ce and p ractise Christianity. We kno w th a t th es e e dicts, after having been revoked under the r e i gn o f t h e E m peror Khan Hi, were again brought into force,; a b ou t a centur y ago, on the advice of the Tribunal of Rites; and, until these latter times, at least, have been put into execution by the Chinese magistrates with the utmost rigour. Thus Christianity has found a double ob stacle to its introduction into the middle empire ; for, on one hand, were the laws which interdicted foreigners from penetrating into the interior of the empire; and, on the other hand, the Chinese who, if left to themselves, would be inclined to embrace the religion of the Gospel, are restrained by the pains and penalties denounced by the edicts. It is these edicts which it is now in contemplation to abolish. To obtain this abo lition, the French mission, as may be well believed, could not make any direct propositions to the Chinese c ommissioners. It was only by influential means that it ought or could act. Thus the first overtures came from the Chinese negotiators themselves, from Ki Yng, the representative of the Emperor, and from the treasurer, H u A n . Ki Yng has a libe ral a nd philosophical mind. Far f rom h a ving any prejudice or anti pathy against Christianity, h e re peats, both in perso nal con ference and in his written correspondence, that a religion which forbids evil and commands good cannot be a false one. He adds, that as this religion is professed by the great Em peror of the French, and by the noble nation of which he is sovereign, the abolition of the law which forbids its exercise in China would be the best means of confirming a friendly alliance between the two countries. In a word, he offered his mediation with the Emperor and the Tribunal of Rites to obtain a revocation of the anti-Christian edicts." The papers publish accounts from Algiers to the Ist inst., giving details of the attack made by the Kabyles on a French convoy, which bad left Tenez for • Orleansville, in which some persons were killed on both sides, and ten French soldiers were made prisoners, Troops were assembling at Milianah for an expedition against these Kabyles, and Marshal BUGEAUD was to leave Algiers for that place on the 3d. No doubt re- Is there any one of our readers who has a definite matured idea of the office, functions, and jurisdiction of a Stipendiary Magistrate ? A magistrate of our police courts, we mean, under the organisation of a recent Act of Parliament ? We are so utterly at a loss upon these subjects ourselves—after perusing our reporter's statement of certain proceedings before Mr. BoND, of the Queen-square Police-office—that we shall be glad to receive some of those new lights that seem to be illuminating other minds on subjects, our own views of which appear to have become utterly anti quated. If Mr. BOND be right in his conceptions of a Police Magistrate's duty, we must be extravagantly wrong. If we are correct 'in our views of the end and objects of a Police Magistrate's appointment, Mr. BOND might as well have been sitting at the foot of the Cadi of Bagdad as at Queen• square, for any purposes of redress or aid to be afforded to the QUEEN'S lieges in Westminster. Mr. DUNN, a barrister—whose name, we take it, is not unfamiliar to the readers of Police reports, in connexion with some by-gone passages of " ill-starred hopes,"—presents himself before Mr. Boxp. He com plains that for a long time past he has been annoyed by a person in plain clothes (who enters the office with him), and whom he believes to be a constable : that this man has long been in the habit of dogging the complainant by following him from the moment of his quitting his lodg ings till his return, through every street, square, or alley he might happen to traverse ; that complainant had tested the fact of this being an intended watch upon him and his actions, by purposely taking very short and ab rupt turnings ; still • the " mysterious stranger" was at his heels, inevitable as a tax-collector, persevering as a dun, ugly as an evil conscience. Mr. Dorm wished to know whether this person was one of the officers attached to the Queen -square establishment, and Mr. BOND an swered in the negative. Then ho very naturally asks the magistrate if he will take his charge against the police man of following him with intent to commit a felony. Has he no case on which to found such a charge? He was seen constantly watching his house when he is at home— when he goes abroad, out starts this Argus from some neighbouring public-house, and sticks to his skirts the live -long day, let him go where he will. Surely Mr. DUNN is amply justified in describing this as an " un warrantable and illegal annoyance." What if Mr. Durci's eccentricities have brought him, ere this, into notoriety, in consequence of some affair of the heart—if we recollect the matter at all ? Is that any reason for his being put under a surveillance more rigorous than a , French loyalist had to encounter in Paris, through the various phases of the Revolution? Does the Home Secretary's system of Post-office eaves-dropping extend to the permission of this clearly " illegal and unconstitutional" refuses alleges Let is ne us st practice, known only at this day to the most desp otic of European Governments ? Is there any criminal reco rd, any conviction for felony extant against Mr. Dotor, that he should be p u t out of the pale of that common-law protection whi c h s h e lters every free-born Englishman , not labouri ng un d er suc h disabilities, from all nuisances of thi s vex atio u s and insulting nature? with the this examination, c a s e t , hn des accused,. r N e D ef u n to subject gentleman r persecution of being timelong p pasterpebteueanlly followed subject to the intolerable t:a"sht h int erfere b e i m to an iee h ow sec mained that ABIY-EL-KADER was abut to make another demonstration in some quarter, but it was uncertain. where he w0 . ,:1d appear.

If the real sentiments of the American people were s to be collected from the tone adopted by that portion of their newspaper press which assumes to represent the democratic principle of the federal constitution, we should be compelled to conclude that the entire population of the Union supported the President's policy on the Oregon and the Texas questions, and were for immediate war at all hazards with Great Britain. But the Commercial Advertiser has cau tioned us against being misled by the " angry talk" of its compatriot newspapers. It assures us that "it is a great mistake to suppose that the deep-rooted and operative sentiments of countries like Great Britain or the United States are habitually expressed by their fluent orators and writers." It is very true that the Commercial Advertiser speaks with equal disparage ment of the relation which the declarations of the English press bear to the national sentiment. Having a very clear conviction, in common with ninety-nine out of one hundred men in the United Kingdom, of the fallacy of this latter opinion, we are content to leave it where we find it. But we have now before us the most signal evidence to the general correctness of the assumption in respect of the democratie press of the States, in an article-. published in the New York Herald, which, for insolent mendacity, gross ignorance, presumptio n , an d f o ll y , we have never seen equalled in the most transcendent flights of Yankee journalism. The blustering arro gance of this journalist passes, we suppose, for some thing extremely forcible and impressive with its very extensive body of readers, for an extensive body we believe them to be. But it impresses an Englishman with a very humble idea of the average intelligence, or the good sense of the public, to find it possible that they can endure, and even sanction, such pitiful attempts at intimidating the greatest nation of the earth, by noisy bullying and ridiculous bravado. With regard to the Oregon question, there is ono THIS DAY'S NEWS. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lord Chief BARON and a Special Jury.) . THE .ATTOUNEY 7 GENERAL V. BOIER. This was a 'prosecution by her Majesty's Commissioners of Customs to recover penalties for unduly unshipping tobacco. Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Chambers for the traverser. After the case had been opened by Mr. Jarvis, Mr. CHAMBERS consented to a verdict fur the Crown for 391/. Ils. 6d. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WALTER HENRY AUSTLN. Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Humfreys, Q.C., and Mr. Chambers for the traverser. Mr. WILDE opened the pleading., and Mr. JAavis stated the case. This was a prosecution instituted by her Ma jesty's Commissioners of Customs against the traverser for defrauding the Customs revenue. Amount of penalty 1,000/. The circumstances of the case were these : It appeared that Walter Henry Austin was a clerk in the em ployment of a firm named Robinson and Co., of Water-lane, Custom-house agents; that in the mouth of July, 1842, Messrs. Robinson received a consignment of a case of foreign silks, weight 741 b. 3 oz., the duty payable upon which would amount to 851. ; they senghe ti averser with the:money to pay the duty ; but he contrived to substitute a case weighing only I llbs. of inferior quality, the duty payable upon which was 71. 1 ls. 9d., which traverser paid, thereby defrauding the revenue of the difference. When the fraud was discovered, the prisoner was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of felony, and his employers, Messrs. Robinson, entered into re cognizances for his appearance at the Old Bailey. But when the session opened, he did not appear, and therefore the pre sent prosecution was instituted against him for the recovery of the difference and the penalty. Several witnesses were examined to prove preliminary matters, and the party to whom the case was consigned to prove the fraudulent substitution. When the case for the prosecution closed, Mr. HUMFRIZYS spoke to the evidence at considerable length. He contended that his client was a young man of good character, who bad, in fact, no charge against him ex cept his having had the misfortune to be a clerk to a house that was now broken up, and had for a long time been mixed up in those Custom-house transactions. He con tended that no case had been made out against his client, for the evidence only went to prove that he paid a certain sum for duty at the Custom-house upon one out of a number of packages. Having commented upon the evidence at great length, Mr. JARVIS replied. After which The Learned CHIEF BARox summed up, and in the course of . which he told the jury they had to consider two questions; the first of which was, whether any fraud had been com mitted at all upon the revenue ; and, secondly, whether the defendant, Austin, was the party who committed the fraud. Having recapitulated the testimony of the witnesses, The jury consulted together fur a few minutes, without leaving the box, and found a verdict for the Crown-3341. damages. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The seventh session of the present mayoralty commenced this morning, in presence of the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and several of the Aldermen. After the grand jury had been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to address them. He said that the calendar contained the names of 168 prisoners, but that number would be considerably increased before they had done with their labours. Among many very serious offences in the calendar, there were several of mamlanghter, one of false personation for the purpose of obtaining prize money, three charges of sacrilege, a case of forgery and uttering forged instruments, and two charges against females for murder ; the first against a mother for the murder of her new-born child, and the latter against a nurse for the destruction of an infant en trusted to her care. With respect to the last of these charges, it would be their duty to examine the evidence, and to decide upon it, whether .the party charged had really committed the murder, and in the event of their coining to the conclusion that she bad done so, then it would be their duty to put the case in course of further examination. The gentlemen of the grand jury must understand that it was not their province to determine the motives which might have actuated the person in the commission of such a crime, or the state of mind in which she might be. That would be matter for another tribunal, their duty would be simply to ascertain that such a crime bad been committed, and by the person charged with the offence. With regard to the first of these charges, he should particularly direct the attention of the grand jury to the evidence of the surgeon, and it would depend upon the weight theyattached to that evidence, whether that case also should be referred to the full Court. Should the capital offence not be made out, it still rested with them to indict the prisoner fur the concealment of birth. There was a charge of false personation with intent to defraud the proper party of his share of the Chinese batta, and that offence, if proved, would come under the provisions of the Act having reference to prize money. The remaining charges, with the exception of that of sacrilege, which would turn upon the question of fact, were of a minor character ; and he would not detain them from their duties by enlarg ing upon them. With these few remarks, therefore, he would dismiss them to their onerous duties, and if the assist ance and advice of the Court were required in any stage of their proceedings, that advice or assistance would be'readily accorded. The petit jury were afterwards sworn. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young man of genteel appearance was charged with gambling. His name is William Evans. The neighbourhood of Argyll-square is infested with vagabonds who spend the whole of Sunday gambling in front of the church in the square, and annoying every respectable person that passes by. The nuisance has been repeatedly complained of by the inhabitants, and the attention of the police has been called to it, but whenever they apprehend any of the delinquents it is generally tome well-conducted youth who has been decoyed into these vicious practices by the others, who are artful and active enough to make their escape. The prisoner is the son of very respectable parents, and never was wehended ,or even seen, at any such mischief before. His brother, a respectable-looking man, came forward, and said he was thoroughly ashamed of the prisoner's conduct ; his father was bedridden and unable to attend. Mr. GREENWOOD tined the prisoner six shillings or a com mensurate term of imprisonment. The prisoner's brother, who paid the fine, at once said he hoped the Magistrate would punish the prisoner more severely if ever he came before him again. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

He states that : " The particulars required to be returned by the Act, and stated in the Cdiitti . are the name of the firm or Company ; the name, residence, and occupation of the persons of whom. the Company .or partnership consists, and the name of the place or places where the business is carried on. "The London banking establishments consist of sixty part nerships, each not h av i ng more t h an s i x partners , an d of five public companies, which are usually styled joint-stock banks. The former may be divided into three classes:— , 1. Those who are members of the Clearing-house. 2. Those located,east of Temple-bar, but are nut members of the Clearing-house. 3. Those located west of Temple-bar. " The names of 40 of the private banking firms end in Co.' In 3 instances there is no partner represented by the Co.' In 17 instances the Co.' represents the partners of the same name as other partners mentioned in the firm.

MARKET NE 41 THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE—MoNDAY The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a full average scale, for the time of year ; but those of Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, of home produce, have proved small. Or Foreign Barley and Oats, the imports have been liberal. Fresh up, a limited supply of Wheat was received coastwise, as well as by land carriage, hence the stands were rather scantily filled with samph ti of both Red and White. The extreme caution manifested 00 the 'part of the millers in effecting purchases. caused the demand for all descriptions to rule exceedingly inactive, and, in some instances, when sales were pressed, the quo tations had a downward tendency ; while, at the close of business, a clearance was not effected. The general con dition of the samples was not first-rate. The accounts respecting the Wheat plants are still favourable. The show of fine foreign Wheat was small, yet the inquiry for that article was in a very sluggish state, at barely, though at nothing quotable beneath last week's prices. In Corn under lock, next to nothing was doing. We had a good sup ply of fine foreign Barley on the stands ; but that of English was small. All kinds were again dull, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. Malt, the supply of which was good, met a very dull inquiry, and the currencies were with difficulty supported. The aggregate quantity of Oats being on the increase, that description of produce was dull, at barely stationary prices. Both Beans and Peas were again firm, arid the quotations may be considered the turn higher. Seeds were generally heavy, at late rates.

As this is a matter.pt such vital importance to graziers and others, especially a snit t a moment like this, when the transac tions in store are becoming extensive, we shall here lay b e f or e our reatya 3 a few facts connected with the catt le trade as it now to ls, which may prove interesting, and ser ve as a guide Age seat and future operations iu this and other markets.;effedt d i3is sertions have, we find, gained currency, to the that the quantity of stock in England,' Sheep in e ars • is smaller than has been known fo r a series of years phi ' We are quite ready to admit that in Some districts (wish), from many of the flockmasters being compelled to dispose «. n tealstheir supplies at a much earlier part of the seaso usual in consequence of the want of fodder, the result ofteC year's protracted drought) such is positively the case, we see no reason to justify the statements lately publishi, veth the arrivals of Sheep hither during the next three or fbut • months will be exceedingly limited. So far as w e have heed enabled to learn, the greatest deficiency appears tothe northern districts, to which large number s of Sheep have beet lately sent from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c. Should, however, the num. berg of that stock shown here prove even seasonably larger during the present year, we conceive it is placed beyend a doubt they will be light weighers, from the capfa bove stated. Hence we are of opinion that on oaut perhaps of over-abundant supplies, the present extreme rates may not be maintained during the next three weeks or month—prices will prove more remunerati ve than w as the case last year. Still, much remains in the hands 01 the graziers themselves; for it must be evid ent that by w'll us large numbers of any kind of live stoc k, a fall in value Oil be a necessary consequence. As au illustration of these, re. marks, we may refer to last Friday's trade. On th at day thsk numbers of Sheep and Lambs were 12,000, far above averagee. ones ; while to effect a clearance the salesmen wer compelled to submit to a redu ction q uire. 2(1 we per Sibs. in the quotations. A may ebstry4s respects tho slaughtered condition of the Sheep , that it certainly exceeds our previously formed expectatio.l.lo! yet we think the future supply of rough fat will berthsreelP, than usual. There is one circumstances counected ti?,..ur, market deinanuing some attention—we mean the trse sm „ l e d: siou of stock, per railway, for it. It has frequently haPPe",,,. that the trains on some of the lines arrive in the metrop,ora too late for the day's trade • hence very great losses are • incurred by the graziers. ' When we observe that neer?ad moiety of the Beasts and Sheep now sold here are receli;.., per railway, all will agree with us that it httAurj come indispensably necessary that they come to hand as advertised by the various C raj: In the past week; three steamers, viz., the Giraffe bine, and Batavia, have arrived in the Port of Lone a p i. i c o f -- 'Rotterdam with live stock for this market.
