ar,trzy übition CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) FORG/1111,Y.—George Harcourt, aged 29, described as a clerk, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a receipt for the sum of 501., with intent to defraud the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Company. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parnell conducted the case for the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine, with whom was Mr. Huddlestone, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the opening statement of the Learned Counsel, and the evidence which was afterwards called, that an interest warrant for 4/. ss. 10d., payable to Mr. Duncroft, a shareholder in the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Company, was made out by the prisoner on the 17th of January, 1848, and entered in the cash-book of thi company as having been duly paid. On the following 12th of February, another warrant for the same amount was issued in the name of a Mr. Wingate, an insurance broker in Glasgow, but the cor responding entry in the cash-book represented the V. 55. lod. to have been paid to Mr. Duncroft. Now Mr. Wingate was in arrear of one call on his shares, and was th2rcfore not entitled to the interest. It was, how ever, alleged that the prisoner forged the name of Win gate to the warrant to obtain the money fr,;rn the banker's, and made the fahe entry in the cash-book to deceive the company. On the 16th of February another war, ant :was issued, in the prisoner's3hand writing, for 41. ss. 10d., :payable to Mr. Wingate, and it was so paid by the bankers, and entered in the cash book. Though Mr. Wingate never received the money, nor had he authorised any one to sign the receipt to the warrant, which was not in his handwriting. Theifirst of these three warrants was duly paid to Mr. Duncroft, and quite legal and regular, but the other two were al leged to be spurious, and the receipts to be forgeries, in the prisoner's handwriting. (Tne case was proceeding when our report left.) . THE BRAZILS. His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil closed the Le gislative Chambers on the 11th of last month with a Speech from. the Throne, in the Palace of the Senate at Rio de Janeiro. _ _ _ His Imperial Majesty and the Empress were re ceived on their arrival, with their retinue, by a depu tation, consisting of Members of both Chambers, and conducted to their thrones by the President and Secre taries of the Senate. Their Majesties were saluted with the most loyal and enthusiastic vivas. The Se nadores and Deputados being seated, his Imperial Majesty delivered his Speech, of which the following is a translation : " Meet worthy and honourable gentlemen, represen tativPs of the nation,—l am come to close the second session of the eighth Legislature (Parliament). I have great pleasure in assuring you that the public tranquillity and peace have been completely re-established in those proriaces were they had been unfortunately disturbed; and I expect, from the good sense and patriotism of the Brezdian people, that we shall not hare again to deplore such ilisastrnua occurrences. _ _ " With thanks to Divine Providence I am enabled to state that the epidemic fever which afflicted several cities and places on our coasts has disappeared. " I-shall continue to employ my best endeavours to maintain pacific relations with all foreign Powers as far as is compatible with our rights and dignity; peace is indispensable to the prosperity and liberty of nations. " Lthank you for the important Legislative Acts you have passed during the two sessions held this year. " The benefits which will result therefrom will con stitute the most gratifying recompense for your labours. " After so many months of toilsome duties it is neces sary that you should return to the bosoms of your fami lies. 'Persevere, most worthy and honourable represen tativc:s of the nation, in aiding me by that enlightened zeal of which you have given so many proofs in the task I have undertaken to unite all Brazilians in one common sentiment to preserve unimpaired our beneficent institu tions. Show then] bow greatly in obedience to the laws, and op the observance of those duties which morality and religion require, the greatness and happiness of empires depend. " The session► is closed." Their Imperial Majesties retired with the same ceremonies with which they entered the Senate Home, and the Senators and Deputies soon dispersed. The Imperial Princess had been formally and con stitutionally acknowledged presumptive heiress to the throne of the empire. TURKEY. The Wanderer of Vienna states that, according to commercial letters from Constantinople, the treaty concluded between the Ottoman Porte and Lord Palmerston for the establishment of a free port on the coast of Albania is definitively signed, but that it cannot be carried into execution for six months. the market to-day than have done so for the last few weeks. Doeskins and pilot cloths have been in better request for the home market. The fancy trade con tinues much the same, being generally dull, and nothing doing, except in new patterns which meet with pretty ready purchasers. Yarns continue firm. The wool market is fiat, except for colonial wools, of a low quality. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—With the exception of a few orders for fancy goods, there is scarcely anything doing in the worsted trade ; and the aspect of our Piece Hall, to-day, has been unusually dull. In yarn and wool, there is nothing doing, and prices may, therefore, be regarded as nominal. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been a very flat market to-day at the Cloth Halls, and, with the ex ception of a few deliveries of winter goods, there is but little doing to order. Business in the warehouses continues dull. A CRISIS IN THE AFFAIRS OF MR. JOHN BULL, AS RELATED BY MRS. BULL TO THE CHILDREN. Mrs. Bull and her rising family were seated round the fire, one November evening at dusk, when all was mud, mist, and darkness out of doors, end a good deal of fog had even got into the family parlour. To say the truth, the parlour was on no occasion fog-proof, and had, at divers notable times, been so misty as to cause the whole Bull family to grope about, in a most confused manner, and mako the strangest mistakes. But, there was an excel lent ventilator over the family firc-place (not one of Dr. Arnott's, though it was of the same class, being an ex cellent invention, called Common Sense), and hence, though the fog was apt to get into the parlour through a variety of chinks, it soon got out again, and left the Bulls at liberty to see what o'clock it was, by the solid, steady-going, family time-piece; which went remarkably well in the long run, though it was apt, at times, to be a trifle too slow. Mr. Bull was dozing in his easy chair, with his pocket handkerchief drawn over his head. Mrs. Bull, always industrious, was hard at work, knitting. The children were grouped in various attitudes around the blaming fire. Master C. J. London (called after his God father), who had been rather late at his exercise, sat with his chin resting, in something of a thoughtful and penitential manner, on his slate, and his slate resting on his knees. Young Jonathan—a cousin of the little Bulls, and a noisy, overgrown lad—was making a tremendous uproar across the yard, with a new plaything. Occa sionally, when his noise reached the ears of Mr. Bull, the good gentleman moved impatiently in his chair, and muttered " Con—found that boy in the stripes, I wish ho would'nt make such a fool of himself!" " He'll quarrel with his new toy soon, I know," ob served the discreet Mrs. Bull, " and then he'll begin to knock it about. But wo mustn't expect to find old heads on young shoulders." " That can't be, Ma," said Master C. J. London, who was a sleek, shining-faced boy. " And why, then, did you expect to find an old bead on Young England's shoulders?" retorted Mre. Bull, turning quickly on him. " I didn't expect to find an old head on Young Eng land's shoulders," cried Master C. J. London, putting his left-band knuckles to his right eye. "You did'nt expect it, you naughty boy?" said Mrs. Bull. " No!" whimpered Master C. J. London. " I am sure I never did. Oh, oh, oh!" " Don't go on in that way, don't!" said Mrs. Bull, " but behave better in future. What did you mean by playing with Young England at all?" "I didn't mean any harm!" cried Master C. J. Lon don, applying, in his increased distress, the knuckles of his right hand to his right eye, and the knuckles of his left hand to his left eye. " I dare say you didn't!" returned Mrs. Bull, " Hadn't you had warning enough about playing with candles and candlasticiss? , How often had you been told that your poor father's house, long before you were born, was in danger of being reduced to ashes by candles and candle sticks? And when Young England and his companions began to put their shirts on, over their clothes, and to play all sorts of fantastic tricks in them, why didn't you come and tell your poor father and me, liko a dutiful C. J. London?" Because the rubric—" Master C. J. London was beginning, when Mrs. Bull took him up short. " Don't talk to me about the Rubric, or you'll make it worse!" said Mrs. Bull, shaking her head at him. " Just exactly what the Rubric meant then, it means now; and just exactly what it didn't mean then, it don't mean now. You are taught to act, according to the spirit, not the letter; and you know what its spirit must be, or you wouldn't be. No, C. J. London!" said Mrs. Bull, emphatically. "If there were any candles or candlesticks in the spirit of your lesson-book, Master Wiseman would have been my boy, and not you!" Here, Master C. J. London fell a crying more grie vously than before, sobbing, " Oh, Ma! Master Wise man with his red legs, your boy! Oh, oh, oh!" " Will you be quiet," returned Mrs. Bull, " and let your poor father rest? I am ashamed of you. You to go and play with a parcel of sentimental girls, and dandy boys! is that your bringing up?" " I didn't know they were fond of Master Wiseman," protested Master C. J. London, still crying. " You didn't know, Sir!" retorted Mrs. Bull. " Don't tell me! Then you ought to have known. Other people knew. You were told often enough at the time, what it would come to. You didn't want a ghost, I suppose, to warn you that when they got to eandlesticka, they'd get to candles; and that when they got to candies, they'd get to lighting 'em; and that whea they began to put their shirts on outside, and to play at monks and friars, it was as natural that Master Wiseman should be en couraged to put on a pair of red stockings, and a red hat, and to commit I don't know what other Tom fooleries and make a perfect Guy Fawks of himself in more ways than one. Is it because you are a Bull, that you are not to be roused till they shake scarlet close to your very eyes?" said Mrs. Bull indignantly. Master C. J. London still repeating " Oh, oh, oh!" in a very plaintive manner, screwed his knuckles into his eyes until there appeared considerable danger of his screwing his eyes out of his head. But little John (who though of a spare .figure was a very spirited boy), started up from the little bench on which he sat; gave Master C. J. London a heavy pat on the back (accom panied, however, with a slight poke in the ribs); and told him that if Master Wiseman, or Young England, or any of those fellows, wanted anything from himself, he (little John) was the boy to give it him. Hereupon, Mrs. Bull, who was always proud of the child, and al ways bad been, since his measure was first taken for an entirely new suit of clothes to wear in Common, could not refrain from catching him up on her knee and kiss ing him with great affection, while the whole family ex pressed their delight in various significant ways. " You are a noble boy, little. John," said Mrs. Bull, with a mother's pride, " and 4hat's.the fact, _after every , thing is said etch:lobe •• • • A letter from Constantinople of the 11th, in a Vienna journal, mentions a report that Kossuth, who had been sent to Kiutahia, had succeeded in escaping ; but this requires confirmation. The English Am-- bassador it Constantinople had, the letter says, com municated to the Austrian Ambassador a note, re presenting that the prolonged detention of the Hun garian refugees might lead to much embarrassment. Letters from Constantinople announce that a courier had arrived from Aleppo with news to the 25th ult., sir days later than the previous accounts. It appears from them that the number of deaths in the insur rection of Aleppo was only eleven, and of wounded much lees than had been previously stated. The Pasha, by the advice of the consuls of England, France, Rus sia, and Austria, had assembled the sheiks and the ulemae, and announced that he would accept their con ditions, among which were a full and complete amnesty, the abolition of the recruiting system, the imposition of taxes on land and houses alone, not on persons, and the prohibition of the public exercise of Christian worship, with the suppression of bells. After publishing his acceptance of these conditions the Pasha visited different parts of the town with a small escort, and was well received. But the Purte was much irritated at him for making concessions, and it was doubtful that it would consent to ratify them. The Osservatore Dalmato quotes letters from Ser ralevo of the 29th ult., announcing the simultaneous insurrection of the districts of Tuzla, Dervent, Gra daCaz, and Zwornik (Turkey). The insurgents are toMmanclted. by the son qk the Pasha of Tuzla ; their numbers are not stated. Their object is to oppose the establishment of the new reforms, and the levying of troops. The same paper gives some interesting de tails on the commencement of the insurrection of Movtar. At the time when the Seraskier Omer Pasha had taken the direction of Bagnaluca and Priedor without meeting with opposition, the vizier of Herzgovine and the Lieutenant of Bosnia, Hafiz Pasha, after wards recalled by the Sublime Porte, were still at Serrajevo, where they concocted the insurrec tions of Herzgovine and the Krsina, in order to pre vent the seraskier from acting against both provinces at the same time. Omer Pasha having returned to Serra jevo was proceeding to Trawnick, when the insurrec tion of Mostar broke out. The seraskier made imme diate preparations to put it down, but was prevented by a new outbreak of Kraina, which had but recently been pacified. Omer Pasha then changed his plan of operations, marched upon the fortress of Vranduk, beat the insurgents, many of whom, in their flight, were drowned in the Bosnia, and took the fort. After this exploit he proceeded against Mostar. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) - bik'SCHESTER, TUESDAY.---The warlike tone which pervadss the speech addressed by the King to the Prussian Chambers, has deepened the sense enter tained by the continental merchants in this place, of the dangers of the present crisis, and of the consequent necessity of their standing as free as possible from commercial engagements. Ac cordingly they have kept out of the market more de cidedly to-day than they did last week ; it is indeed literally true that they have done nothing. Under these circumstances, the yarns in which they deal may be had at a reduction of i-cl. to ; Id. per lb. from the rates of a week ago.. This is particularly the case with water twist; the lower counts of which alone (No. 12's) are tolerably supported by some little purchasing for the Mediterranean. Warps and cops are depressed by the want of demand for 'some consumption, as well as for shipment. There is, however, a great deal of irregularity amongst spinners of these various yarns, many of whom show Tittle disposition to give way, believing that, if the storm in central Europe blow over, a renewed de mand will take place. The spinners of India quali ties being well e nga ged, have made no change in their quotations. The cloth market is very inactive ; but the operations for some weeks past having kept down stocks, the buyers find that, even at this unfavourable moment, the manufacturers are scarcely to be moved from their quotations for shirtings, for the better printing cloths, and for the light er d omest i cs. We are informed by an eminent mercantile firm, that their letters from St. Petersburgh advise them of a reduction equal to Id. psr lb. having been made in the duty on cotton twist imported into Russia. As this anounts, however, to no more tthan one-seventh part of the duty, its effect will hardly be perceptible. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have little change to report in the flannel market from that of last Monday. The business transacted is of a more limited kind, which is generally the case at this season of the year. The wool market has been a litle better, and prices bave been firmer.

HUDDLRUIELD, TUESDA.Y.—We have had a little more doing in our market this week amongst the ~ttripes anot large checks. More buyers have attended "I don't know about that, Ma;" quoth little John, whose blocd was evidently up; " but if these chaps and their backers, the Bulls of Rome"— Here Mr. Bull, who was only half asleep, kicked out in such an alarming manner, that for some seconds his boots gyrated fitfully all over the family hearth, filling the whole circle with consternation. For, when Mr. Bull did kick, his kick was tremendous. And he al ways kicked, when the Bulls of Rome were mentioned. Mrs. Bull holding up her finger as an injunction to the children to keep quiet, sagely observed Mr. Bull from the opposite side of the fireplace, until he calmly dozed again, when she recalled the scattered family to their former positions, and spoke in a low tone. " Ycu must be very careful," said the worthy lady, " how you mention that name; for, your poor father has so many unplea , ant experiences of those Bulls of Rome—Bless the man! he'll do somebody a mischief." Mr. Bull, lashing out again more violently than before, upset the fender, knocked down the fire-irons, kicked over the brass footman, and, whisking his silk handker chief off his head, cbaied the Pussy on the rug clean out of the room into the passage, and so out of the street door into the night; the Pussy having (as was well known to the children in general), originally strayed from the Bulls of Rome into Mr. Bull's assembled fa mily. After the achievement of this crowning feat, Mr. Bull came back, and in a highly-excited state performed a sort of war-dance in his top-boots, all over the parlour. Finally, he sank into his arm-chair, and covered himself up again. Master C. J. London, who was by no means sure that Mr. Bull in his heat would not come down upon him for the lateness of his exercise, took refuge behind his slate and behind little John, who was a perfect game-cock. But, Mr. Bull having concluded his war-dance with out injury to any one, the boy cre pt ou t, w ith th e r e st of the family, to th e knees of Mrs. Bull, who thus ad dressed them, taking litte ;John into her lap before she began:— " The B.'s of R.," said Mrs. Bull, getting, by this prudent device, over the obnoxious words, " caused your poor father a world of trouble before any one of you were born. They pretended to be related to us, and to have some influence in our ismily ; but it can't be allowed for a single moment—nothing will ever induce your poor father to hear of it; let them disguise or constrain themselves, now and then, as they will, they are by na ture an insolent, audacious, oppressive, intolerable race." Here little John doubled his fists, and began squaring at the Bulls of Rome, as he saw those pretenders with his mind's eye. Master C. J. London, atter some con siderable reflection, made a show of squaring likewise. " In the days of your great, great, great, great, grand. father," said Mrs. Bull, dropping her voice still lower, as she glanced at Mr. Bull in his repose, " the Bulls of Rome were not so utterly hateful to our family as they are at present. We didn't know them so well, and our family were very ignorant and low in the world. But we have gone on advancing in every generation since then; and now we are taught, by all our family history and experience, and by the most limited exercise of our rational faculties, That our knowledge, liberty, progress, social welfare and happiness, are wholly irreconcieaable not th aenydo wholen l ignorance. nhr the °pu rematuan human enemies a . s te r o f y That ou r a h m e r i e l ); 9 e r but the o y f they e oppression,yare easily dark ness, madek the tools cf the worst of men for the worst of purposes; and that they cannot be endured by your poor father, or by any wan, woman, or child of common sense , w ho has the least connexion with vs." q, Little Jo h n, who had gr a d ua ll y left off s uaring looked hard at his aunt, Mi ,-,ss Erin", 13 -ragh, Mr. Bull's s ister, who was grovelling on the ground, with her head in the ashes. This unfortunate lady bad been, for a horrible conditio n o f mind and body, and presented length of time, in a a most lamentable sp ec t acle of dis Mrs. Bull, observing the direction o f the child's glance, ease, dirt, rags, superstition , and degradation, amoo hcd little John's hair, and directed her next obser vations to him. " Ah! you may well look at the poor thine. 6 John!" said Mrs. Bull ; ..for the Bulls of Rome have had far too much to do with her present state. There have been TILE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY many other causes at work to destroy the strength of her constitution, but the Bulls of Rome have been at the bottom of it; and, depend upon it, wherever you see a condition at all resembling hers, you will find, on in quiry, that the sufferer has allowed ... herself to be dealt with by the Bulls of Rome. The cases of squalor and ignorance, in all the world most like yonr aunt's, are to be found in their own household; on the steps of their doors; in the heart of their homes. In Switzerland, you may cross a line, no broader than a bridge or a hedge, and know, in an instant, where the Bulls of Rome have been received, by the condition of the family. Wherever the Bulls of Rome have the most influence, the family is sure to be the most abject. Put your trust in those Bulls, John, and it's in the inevitable order and se quence of things, that you must come to be something like your Aunt, sooner or later." "I thought the Bulls of Rome had got into difficulties, and run away, Ma?" said little John, looking up into his mother's face inquiringly. " Why, so they did get into difficulties, to be sure, John," returned Mrs. Bull, "and so they did run away; but, even the Italians, who had got thoroughly used to them, found them out, and they were obliged to go and hide in a cupboard, where they still talked big through the key-hole, and presented one of the most contemptible and ridiculous exhibitions that ever were seen on earth. However, they were taken out of the cupboard by some friends of theirs—friends, indeed ! who care as much about them as I do for the sea-serpent; bat who hap pened, at the moment, to find it necessary to play at soldiers, to amuse their fretful children, who did'nt know what they wanted, and, what was worse, would have it —and so the Balls got back to Rome. And at Rome they are anything but safe to stay, as you'll find, my dear, one of these odd mornings." " Then, if they are so unsafe, and so found out, Ma," said Master C. J. London, "how come they to interfere with us, now?" "Oh, C. J. London!" returned Mrs. Bull, "what a sleepy child you must be. to put such a question! Don't you know that the more they are found out, and the weaker they are, the more important it must be to them to impose upon the ignorant people near them, by pre tending to be closely connected with a person so much looked up to as your poor father?" " Why, of course!" cried little John to his brother. " Oh, you stupid 1" , " And I am ashamed to have to repeat, C. J. London," said Mrs. Bull, " that, but for your friend, Young Eng land, and the encouragement you gave to that mewling little Pussy, when it strayed here—don't say you did'nt, you naughty boy, for you did !" " You kilo?, you did!" said little John. Master C. J. London began to cry again. " Don't do that," said Mrs. Bull, sharply, " but be a better boy in future ! I say, lam ashamed to have to repeat, that, but for that, the Bulls of Rome would never have had the audacity to call their connexion, Master Wiseman, your poor father's child, and to appoint him, with his red hat and stockings, and his mummery and flummery, to a portion of your father's estates—though, for the matter of that, there is nothing to prevent their appointing him to the Moon, except the difficulty of getting him there And so, your poor father's affairs have been brought to this crisis: that be has to deal with an insult which is perfectly absurd, and yet which he must, for the sake of his family, in all time to come, decisively and seriously deal with, in order to detach himself, once and for ever, from these Bulls of Rome; and show how impotent they are. There's diffi culty and vexation, you have helped to bring upon your father, you had child !" "Oh, oh, oh!" cried Master C. J. London. never went to do it. Oh, oh, oh!" " Hold your tongue!" said Mrs. Bull, " and do a good exercise! Now that your father has turned that Pussy out of doors, go on with your exercise like a man; and let us have no more playing with any one connected with those Bulls of Rome; between whom and you there is a great gulf fixed, as you ought to have known in the beginning. Take your fingers out of your eyes, Sir, and do your ex ercise!" "Oh, . " —Or I'll come and pinch you! " said little John. " John," said Mrs, Bull," you have him alone. Keep your eye upon him, and, if you find hisa relapsing, tell your father." " Oh, won't I neither!" cried little John. " Don't be vulgar," said Mrs. Bull. " Now, John, I can trust you. Whatever you do. I know you won't wake your father unnecessarily. You are a bold, brave child, and I highly approve of your erecting yourself against Master Wiseman and all that bad set. But, be wary, John; and as you have, and deserve to have, great influence with:your sather, I am sure you will be care ful how you wake him. If he was to make a wild rush. and begin to dance about, on the Platform in the Hall, I don't know where he 'd stop. Little John getting on his legs, began buttoning his jacket with great firmness and vigour, preparatory to action. Master C. J. London, with a dejected aspect and en occasional sob, went on with his exercise.— Household Words. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The present return exhibits a sudden increase in the deaths of London, and a greater mortality than in any week since the beginning of April. The deaths registered in the two previous weeks were 921 and 908, but rose in that which ended last Saturday to 1,016, and they now exceed the actual ave rage for the ten corresponding weeks in 1840-9, which is 977, but fall short of the average as corrected for probable increase of popu lation, by which it is raised to 1,066. The present increase, as might be expected from the season of the year, is observed to proceed from diseases of the organs of respiration, with the exception of phthisis, or con sumption. Pneumonia was fatal in the preceding week in 56 cases, last week in 94, of which 69 were amongst children ; but it has not yet attained the average. Bronchitis was fatal in 77 cases, of which nearly two-thirds were among persons of mature years, and it continues to exceed the average. On the other hand, consumption, which numbers 111, has declined on the previous week, and does not show the same disposition, with other affections of the respiratory organs, to be aggravated by atmospheric changes. This disease does not yet quite equal the average, and its comparailvely low rate of mortality during the year may be due, in some degree, to the middle-aged part of the population, who are most subject to it, having been thinned by cholera, which also bore most heavily on the same class. The deaths of children by convulsions were last week 44, or nearly twofold 3 the number of the previous week. Amongst avmotic or epidemic diseases, scarlatina and typhus are the most rife, and destroyed nearly the same Luißbet of lives ;,from the former _there were 41 deathl; frorn the latter 47. Meisles is not now so fatal as usual as rggards the metropolitan dis tricts generally:;. but Mr. Chatwood, the registrar of St. Paul, in St. George's -in-the. East, mentions a family in Mary-street, in which two children have died last week from measles, and six others are suffering under it ; and he adds, that mea sles of a malignant form is very prevalent in his district. In a house, 7, Bluegate fields, also in St. Paul sub-district, the son of a la bourer, aged 6 months, died of " confluent small-pox (10 days), not vaccinated." It is stated in the medical certificate that the complaint was brought by families from Ireland, and that "great numbers are now living in this house in a most filthy and deplorable condi tion." The only case of cholera registered occurred on the 17th November, at 32, Cambridge-terrace, Clapham-road ; the son of a merchant, aged five weeks, died of " English cholera." Fever finds its victims in damp, ill-drained, unwholesome residences, and several cases in point are now reported by the local officers. Amongst these Mr. Wells draws attention to a locality in John-street, near Tottenham-court road, where four deaths of children, some of them from fever, have recently occurred " within a few yards of each other." The stench in the houses (he adds) is almost insufferable, and several persons are now lying dangerously ill, owing entirely to defective drainage. Intemperance was fatal in the week to three per sons ; in two cases by producing delirium tremens or other disease, and one, by means of a fall received in a state of intoxication. The births of 708 boys and 673 girls, in all 1,381 children, were registered in the week. The average of five corresponding weeks in 1848-9 was 1,320.

This was the first day of the sittings. The cause list contains 61 remanets and but 51 new causes - , or 112 in all. Of these 44 are for trial by special juries, but the printed list shows that 17 special jury and 16 common jury causes have been withdrawn or settled out of court. COOKE W. HALLS AND' ANOTHER. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Taprell were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Bovill appeared for the defendants. This was an action of trespass for breaking into the house of the plaintiff in Bethnal-green, and taking and carrying away divers goods and chattels, the pro perty of the plaintiff. It appeared on the part of the plaintiff that the two defendants, who are brothers of his wife, had proceeded with their sisters to the house in question, and having ejected an auctioneer and his men (who had been put into possession previous to a sale on behalf of the plaintiff), had nearly pulled the house to pieces, and finally carried away a considera ble quantity of furniture, which they had deposited at the house of another brother. On the part of the de fendants their conduct was justified on the ground that the property had originally belonged to their sister before her marriage with the plaintiff in Feb. last. From these witnesses it was elicited that Mr. and Mrs. Cooke had not been united more than three weeks before Mrs. Cooke fell ill, and with the consent of her hus band she went into the country to recruit her health, he promising to bring herlhome when she was better. For some time, however, she heard no tidings of Mr. Cooke ; but one day she received her boxes by rail way, and the state of these showing that they had been broken open, and rifled of the better part of their contents, she at once proceeded to town with one of her brothers. On arriving at what she imagined was to be her home for life, she found it shut up and pla carded with bills, announcing a sale, while her hus band's name bad been blotted out, and that of one " Dabs" substituted, the owner thereof being the auc tioneer's man. On that day she took no steps ; but on the following she went to the house with the two defendants, who, thinking that their sister was an ill used woman, and hearing that her husband had gone to America, doubted the title both of the auc tioneer or of Mr. "Dabs," and proceeded with their sister, and on her behalf, to commit the trespasss complained of by 'the plaintiff, who had authorized the sale, and was during the whole transaction within reach of the belligerent party. The CHIEF BARON, at the close of the defendant's evidence, said it was unnecessary to call on Mr. Crowder to reply, as, in his opinion, there was evi dence to fix both the defendants with the removal of the plaintiff's property, the only question being what was its worth and what damages the jury would award against them. The jury, after some little deliberation, found for the plaintiff, with 301. damages. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT: NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) Joseph Thomas Bethel Jones, 24, clerk, a gentle.. manly, well-dressed young man, was indicted for ut tering counterfeit coin. Mr. Ellis, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Clerk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry defended. The facts of the case were somewhat singular. Early in November the prisoner went to Mr. Howell's, the Savoy Palace, in company with another man, and called for some gin, tendering a bad half-crown, which being detected, was given back and a good one given. On the 18th the prisoner came again alone, and tendered a bad half-crown in payment for a glass of ale. He was then given in custody, when he gave his address Bennett-street, Doctors'-commons. The prosecutor, thinking from his respectable appearance that it might be a mistake, would not press the charge. On the 10th of November he went to Mr. Moody's, the White Swan, Salisbury-street, Fleet street, and called for some gin, tendering a bad shil ling. Mr. Howell happened to be in the bar at the time, and recognised him as having been t wicO 'at his house, and he was again given into custody. Uilbn the first occasion when taken into custody he had upon him a bill of exchange for 251. and some gold and silver. Upon the second occasion of his being taken into custody he first said he lived at Jackson's Hotel, Bow-street, and Wells' Coffee-house, Water loo. road ; but was not known there by name, but had had a bed at one of those houses. _ Mr. PkERY, having addressed the jury, contending that the money had come accidentally into his hands, called Several witnesses, who gave him a good cha racter, and said that he was the son of a gentleman high in the scholastic profession. The late Sheriff, D. Nicoll, said the prisoner had been some time in his service as clerk, and was strictly honest, leaving his service for some eccentri city of conduct. Mr. Nicoll had known him from his youth, having been brought up at the school kept by the prisoner's father. The jury acquitted the prisoner. Ellen Costello, 28, widow, was convicted of utter ing two bad shillings. The mode in which this offence was effected was a new trick. The prisoner was one of those women who purchase hare skins at gentlemen's houses. In the present instance prisoner had called on the 29th of October at a house in Kensington-crescent, and purchased two hareskins, giving a bad shilling in payment. On the next morning she called again and requested to buy some rags and gave another bad shilling, upon which the police were called in. She was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. Margaret Pike, 30, married, a somewhat fashion ably dressed woman, was indicted for having in her possession a quantity of base coin. Mr. Payne defended. It appeared that on the 13th of this month the at tention of Inspector Brannan was called to a horse and cart standing near the Green-gate, City-road, in which the woman was, and he directed it to be taken to the station. On the road thither the woman leant over the front of the cart, and commenced striking the horse as if to make it go quicker.' The officer who had charge of the cart, seeing her band was !elerfe!led As if there was something in it„ watched her, arid . saw her' put her hand under the tail of the horse, and drop a black bag, in which were found 26 base shillings. A man who had been With her was discharged at the police' court, there being no case against him. The jury found her Guilty. Brannan said the prisoner had been tried and ac quitted before for uttering, and had been several times in custody for the same offence. She was one of the worst of characters. She had trained her own for w h the whom were now undergoing e offence of passing base c c h o terms. i i children eonf imprisonment p i r t Losnommeenotf. Vv She was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. The other cases, which occupied the whole day, were of the usual description; the gr e ater n umber of utterings being to licensed victuallers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Adolph de TV erdins.ki, a Pole, who is under remand for brutally and criminally assaulting a girl under 16 years of age, was brought up for further examination. The case had been put off with the view of enabling the officers to learn the exact age of the child ; but, owing to the death of the mother , nothing but con jecture upon the subject wa s for thcoming. George Hoskin, 5, Manor - place, Walworth-road, said that he remembered the mother, who was a char woman in the Queen's Prison, and was confined there in 1835, with, as he believed, the present girl. The child was illegitimate, and they used to joke her ab ou t a Dr. Brown. The prisoner was in the Bench a year or two afterwards, and knew the mother then. Wit ness had occasionally seen the girl since, and h a d no doubt in his own mind that sh e was born a t the time he mention e d, in 1835, and would consequently be about 15 years and three months old. andpo s e d could to Catherine Young, 8, Little Surrey-street, an eld er l y woman, t w hn h e oo fact;ws taast ethe bpresentt she at exact saidt yearh e birth r whene wastho it occurred.f the no scholar, girl, de- t The girl was never christened. Other witnesses were in attendance to speak to the cruel beatings which the girl had endured from the prisoner during the five years he had lived, and apparently cohabited, with her. Mr. JARDINE said that nothing could be done with the more serious charge against the prisoner unl ess more exact evidence could be given with respect to the child's age. More time should be given, if necessary. The prisoner was again remanded. John Taylor was charged with stealing a large number of books belonging to Mr. H. G. Bohn, of York-street, Covent-garden; and John Millard, bookseller, of Newgate-street, was charged on suspi cion of receiving the same with the knowledge that they were stolen property. Mr. Bohn s t a t e d th a t Taylor had been in his ser vice for five years as a town traveller. Having oc casion to suspect him, he went with a police officer to the prisoner's lodgings, and, getting admission into the room which he occupied, at 4, Ravenscroft-street, Hackney-road, found as many as 179 volumes lying about, or placed in a box and cupboard. Some of them we re packed in a brown paper parcel. Having ascer tained that the prisoner hed been in the habit of sencling parcels of books to the shop kept by _the °thee/et-i -sm? er, Millard, in Newgate-street, witness and the officer went there in the morning. Millard did net reach the shop till an hour afterwards. Witness had observed many of his books upon the shelv es , an d i n various parts of the shop. — When the prisoner arrived witness asked him were the two parcels were that had been sent to him the previous day by Mr. Taylor. lie replied —" What, is there anything wrong then ? I always thought him a very respectable young man." Witness Asked him what be gave Taylor for the books. At first he said he could not remember, but afterwards stated that he gave him two guineas. Witness asked to see the books. He hesitated some time, and said it would be very hard for him to be at the loss of the books, but eventually he produced them. Witness, having previously seen other books belonging to him on the shelves, told;the prisoner that he had some more, and mentioned the names of the volumes. The pri soner then said, "Oh, I recollect; I took them with me to Clapham last night." Witness told him that he had just now seen the books on the shelves, and then the prisoner suddenly remembered " that he had not taken them to Clapham," and produced the volumes. Witness then mentioned two or three expensive works, which he had also previously seen in the shop, and Millard admitted that these were included in the parcel which he received from Taylor. Witness saw some of his books in the window, marked 4s. or ss. under the price at which they usually sell. The parcel of books which the prisoner Millard said he 'purchased of Taylor for 2/. 2s. was worth 51. Taylor said nothing to the charge. Millard said he had had business transactions with Taylor, supposing him to be a highly respectable per son. But he intended to have made inquiries respect ing the parcel of hooks the next time Taylor called on - him. Mr. JARDINE remanded both the prisoners, ad mitting Millard to bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William St. Clair, a journeyman glazier, was charged with having sent a threatening letter to Mr. Charles Fox, of the firm of Fox and Henderson, con tractors for the works of the Exhibition structure in Hyde-park, and also with having used menacing lan guage to the same gentleman. Mr. Humphreys attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Nippon, of Blackfriars-road, appeared for the de fendant. Mr. Humphreys read the letter to Mr. Fox, which had been sent, according to the defendant's own admission, the previous day to Mr. Fox, and which formed the evidence in support of the first part of the charge. Mr. Charles Fox of the firm of Fox and Hender son, contractors, said he received the letter he pro duced, which bore the signature of the defendant, St. Clair, on Monday morning. A copy of the letter, almost verbatim, was found in the defendant's pocket when he was taken into custody. The defendant was employed as a glazier at the works. About fifty journeymen glaziers, among whom was the defendant, gave notice to leave his employ last Friday. Mr. Fox then detailed the evidence of the previous day, of his having been accosted in the building in Hyde park by the defendant, who claimed an audience, and who, when he received a refusal, clenched his fist, and used these words, that "he would make him repent it." Cross-examined—There were forty or fifty other persons present when the defendant used the words. The defendant did not say that probably witness would repent it. His words were that he would make him (witness) repent it, or words to that effect. Could not tell what it was he was to repent. In reply to a question, Mr. Fox said the words were such as to have an effect on his mind that inti midation was meant. Mr. John Cochrane, No. 10, Walter-villas-place, proved that a sort of protest from certain of the work men, relative to the mode of payment for work, was sent to him. A number of men gave notice to quit at the latter end of lost week. The constable who took the prisoner into custody at the request of Mr. Fox said the prisoner, when at the station-house in Vine-street, produced some papers, among which, he said, was a copy of a letter he had sent that morning to Mr. Fox. Mr. Rippon, for the defendant, contended that no charge had been made out which brought his client within the operation of the Act, and proceeded to call witnesses to disprove the alleged threats at the building. George Smalt, one of the workmen, was present during the interview of the defendant with Mr. Fox. He stood about four yards off, and heard every word that passed. When Mr. Fox refused to give him an audience, the defendant held out his open hand, and said, " Then you may repent it." Would swear that the defendant's hand was not clenched. Edward Harding, another workman, heard the words, which were, " You may repent it," and not " I'll make you repent it." Henry Stanborough was one of 40 or 50 who went into the building with the defendant. He beard the words used by the defendant, which were, " You may repent it." The defendant did not in any way menace Mr. Fox. In reply to questions from Mr. BINGHAM, the witness said the workmen who went in with the de fendant were those who had sent notice the previous week of their intention to leave. They had gone is a body to the building to receive some arrears of wages and because they had been sent for by Mr. Robson, the foreman of the painters, who had appointed to see them at two o'clock. Mr. Humphreys proceeded to comment on the evi dence for the defence, which he said was important, not for the purpose for which it had been called, but for the purposes of the prosecution, inasmuch as thereby it was clearly shown that a considerable body of workmen were in combination with the view of molesting and intimidating the prosecutor. The very act of going together in a body amounted to intimidation, even if not a word had been said. He considered the present to be the worst case he had ever known brought into a police-court ; and he considered that the de fendant might consider himself well off in consequence of the prosecutor taking this lenient course. The pro secutor bad abundance of people to do that which the defendant and his companions refused to do, so the works in the park had not been stopped for a moment ; but had the prosecutor chosen to adopt a stronger course, he might have taken proceedings which would have inconvenienced not one, but fifty men. Mr. Rippon would not claim the right to reply further than to remark, that as no offence had been committed by his client, he denied that any mercy had been shown by the prosecutor. Mr. BINGHAM said, the Act of Parliament under which the offence had been laid, he was happy to say, was seldom resorted to in that part of London, though . he Confessed to have had some' dPerierice of it in Spitalfields. The question was one of very great im portance and l though he could not say he had not' an opinion to give on it, yet, to avoid' the appearance of being at all preCipitate, he would take time to consider all the evidence, and would give his judgment on Thursday next. A printed paper and another paper were handed to our reporter. The printed paper purported to be " The Glaziers' Appeal to the Contractors of the Na tional Exhibition, Hyde-park," and contained a series of resolutions, passed on Friday last, among which was one that " the public press of London be appealed to." The written paper was in the form of a com munication to the papers, and it was headed " Extra ordinary Scene in Hyde• park." The paper set forth the cause of discontent of the workmen, and their having sung the national anthem on leaving their employ, concluding thus :—" No doubt the Commis sioners will take the conduct and painful case of these loyal men—the bones and sinews and glory of Old England, into their consideration." In pencil was a memorandum to this effect—" The agitation can be kept up on this system." Bail was taken for the appearance next Thursday of the defendant, who, when released, was received with loud cheers by a large body of workmen, filling the street and the avenues of the court. LAMBETH. _ _ Yesterday being the day appointed for the further examination of Miss Georgiana Roman, alias Homer, alias Grant, alias _lrwin, alias Revnalds, a young woman who not only managed to support herself, but to maintain her mother and sister in dashing style, by an artful system of imposition on the charitable and benevolent, the court was crowded with those on whom she had practised her impositions. The evidence in five clear and distinct cases was taken against the prisoner, but it having been found that the witnesses in two other important cases, the one for obtaining five guineas from the Rev. Mr. Sherman, of the Surrey or Rowland Hill's chapel, and the other for obtaining 20/. 10s. from Mr. Samuel Wood, a gentleman residing at Waltham stow, were not in attendance, and also that the case could not be prepared for the present session at the Old Bailey, the prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. FATAL A CCIDENT.—RAILWAY PASSENGERS' AS.. SURANCE.—Last week an engine•driver named James Shiells, while on duty, was severely crushed be twixt two carriages, and was taken to the infirmary, and died on Wednesday night from the injuries then received. We learn that in this case an in surance hail been effected with " The Railway Pas sengers Assurance Company" only a few months pre vious for 5001., which now falls to deceased's widow, thus rendering her, to a certain extent, independent of grants from the railway company, or petitions for support of herself and family. This case is in striking contrast with that of the guard, killed a few weeks ago, who, not being insured, left a wife and family totally unprovided for. Cases like these bring out the advantages to be derived from life insurance; and we aro glad to learn that it is in contemplation by some railway companies to make it imperative on all their servants to insure, as the pre mium is so trifling as not to inconvenience the lowest psid serve nts, in comparison with the advantages secured i:i case of accidtnt. The company have also had anottter engine-drirer, of the name of W. P. Graves, who Was. killed at Peterb;:rough , Oct. 221 GLASGOW, Nov. 23.—Pig Iron—ln consequence of the numerous meetings relative to the scrip system, business in pig iron has been much interfered with during the wQeli.

For delivery the rates asked are 32s 6d to 33s 8d per cwt, but orders have become small, and the supply of Oil is yet extending. A much brisker demand exists for Rape Oil, and rates are firm, ruling at 36s to 36s 6d for brown, at 37s 6d to 38s for pale, and at 38s 6d to 38s 9d for foreign. Operations in Palm continuo limited, and there are sellers at 28s 6d to 29s 6d for good and fine. Cocoa Nut remains dull of sale, at 28s to 31s for common to fine. Olive Oil is cheaper, and purchases are upon a small scale; Gallipoli* 431 to 44/, and other sorts 411 to 421 10s per tun. For auction 60 tuns of Seal are declared. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIvEaPooL, Nov. 26.—The supplies of grain and flour are again small this week, and are more than ba• lanced by the total of wheat, flour, and Indian corn ex ported to Ireland alone. A fair quantity of flour is like wise moving coastwise. There are good arrivals of flour and wheat from America, and of flour from France, but otherwise the supplies from abroad are light. Th! prin cipal business during the week has been for shipment to Ireland, the town and neighbouring millers having bought very sparingly, and there has been no marked change in the value of any article of the trade. We had a good attendance of millers and dealers at our market this morning, several being from Ireland. Wheat, both old and new, was dealt in to a moderate extent, but at prices a turn in the buyer's favour. Flour met a free de mand at quite as good prices as of late. Mealing oats were scarce, and Id per bushel dearer, and oatmeal brought full prices. Barley, beans, and p:as were without change of value. The secondary quality of Indian corn brought a small advance, good American mixed selling pretty freely at 30s per 4801bs, but it was difficult to ex coed 30s 6d for the best yellow; white corn, 31s per 4801bs.
