Londos, Minister of the Royal Household and Foreign Affairs, answered by assuring the Senate enat the new Cabinet intended to carry on the public business with zeal and loyalty ; that, the internal state of the country was well known to the Senate, and that the relations of his Majesty with the other Powers continued to be friendly.

Notwithstanding thi4, these advices s how a further advance in the New York Cotton-market of nearly one cent. per pound. with a still upward market. This hat. arisen from further reduced estimates of the crop, which it is now stated, on good authority, will not exceed 2,100,000 bales; some go much lower. We have, in consequence, much excitement in the Liverpool market to-clay, and p r i ces h ave co n s iderahly aivanced. Here business has been almost suspended to-day in conse queace of these advices, as producers are quite unable to fix rates, or ask such as they do not, f the present, at least, expect to realise. Meanwhile the orders in the hands of buyers are to a large amount, and stocks in the hands of the trade were seldom ever before so low. Cciarse numbers.of yarn and the heavier cloths are better. The former, partictilarly, 'have considerably advanced, and are very scarce. LONDON, the parishioners in vestry duly assembled ; and the rate in question not seeming to have been imposed by such a majority, and not having been put to the vote, it appeared to him that the judgment of the Queen's Bench was erroneous, and ought to be re versed_ The majority who passed the resolution had set an example of a most dangerous tendency, and one likely to lead to endless mischief, if fol lowed, but their acts did not destroy their legal ma jority or confer their authority on the minority. Sometimes the authority of the minority was sup ported on the ground that the majority had withdrawn their voices, and were to be regarded as absent ; at other times they were considered as acquiescing. neither of these grounds appeared to he sound ; but, supposing the majority had, voted not for the resolu tion, but against any rate, it might be questioned then whether the minority had the power to carry the rate against the majority ; but no authority had been cited to support the principle that the power given by la w to the majority mig,ht be exercised by the minority against the will of the majority. In the absence of such things, he thought it was not law. As to any analogy to the case of an election, it must be admitted that it was of very modern authority. After com menting on the case of " Oldknow v. ‘Vainewright," 2 Burrows, 1 ; 017, and others that had been cited in the arguments addressed to the Court, the Learned Judge said that his individual opinion was, that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench should be reversed,, but, the majority of the Judges having given a contrary opinion, the result was that tile judgment of the Court below must be affirmed. [Some ambiguity appears to have arisen from the LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS COURT, Jan. 22. HODGSON V. EARL POWIS. This cause, which was a bill filed by the plaintiff to restrain the directors of the Shropshire Union Canal and Railway Company from making any fur ther calls, except for the purpose of constructing all the lines authorised by the Acts of Parliament under which the company acted, now came on upon de murrer. It appeared that three different lines were originally projected by this company—the Chester and Wolverhampton, the Crewe and Alvanley, and .he Shrewsbury and Stafford—which were ultimately united with the Ellesmere Canal Company. This company was authorised to construct these three lines, when they entered into negotiations with the London and North. Western Railway Company, which was to take upon itself the debts of the Ellesmere Canal Company, upon condition that the profits of the line should be equally divided between the two companies. Con quent upon this arrangement, and, as it was illeged by the directors, from the difficulty raising the necessary funds, they determined to ,bandon two of the three lines, -.which were amalga nated in the Shropshire Union Canal and Railway :onapany, and had au advertisement inserted in the Times newspaper, of September 13, 1849, intimating heir intention to' apply to Parliament for authority '0 abandon. these lines, and to confine themselves to he line from Shrewsbury to Stafford. The capital equired fir the construction of the three lines was !,300,000/., and but 800,000/. f,r the construction of he line from Shrewsbury to Stafford; of this sum 7,0651. had been received, when there was a balance ,n hand of 1,0091.164. Id. Ia this state of facts the iirectozcs made new calls upon the shares of the company, which were resisted by the plaintiff in the ;ause, on the ground that they were illegal, as the lirectors could not appropriate the funds of the company • Aber wise than its provided by the Act of Incorpora ion, and that the abandonment of the two lines irought thew within the scope of the doctrine laid town upon this point, and decided in the case of 'open v. Wilkinson. It was contended on the other ide, that the directors had not made these calls to ap-' iropriate them otherwise than they were authorised ay the Act of Incorporation, and would not divert the unds from their original destination without the fur-. her sanction of the Legislature, which the notice of ieptember, 1849, clearly indicated. Messrs. Turner and Wilcox were heard in support )f the demurrer, Mr. B. Palmer, Mr. Malins, and tlr. Wellsby in support of the bill, and Mr. Turner having replied, Lord LANGDALE said, that the general principle laid Town in Cohen v. Wilk:nson, decided that the di - ectors could not legally apply the funds in the con •truction of a part of the line, and to neglect the con truction of the whole. He did not think that the .ase of Cohen v. Wilkinson was precisely analogous, La here there was only an intention to abandon a part of he line with the sanction of Parliament. The bill vents a material allegation, that the directors in -ended to misapply the funds, which induces me, in Mowing the demurrer, to give them time to amend. L'he bill does not contain sufficient allegation to pre vent the demurrer being allowed, but the parties must lave leave to amend. The usual order was directed to be made out, in •onformity with his Lordship's decision. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Jan.. 22. (Before Sir J. WIGEAM.) (N RE LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH DIRECT RAILWAY 4.1.24 ,awne COMPANY. • _This was a petition of Mr. Goldsmid, an allottee of 3ertain shares, on which 10s. deposit had been paid in he above company, praying for its dissolution in the tsual form, under the Joint Stock Companies Wind. ing-up Act.

BAIL COURT. Jan. 22. Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN TUE QUEEN V. Eli AND SENIOR. In this case there were nine indictments for em iezzlement and two for conspiracy. Mr. PALMER now moved that the prisoners should ie brought up to plead. From the fact of the offences laving been committed at various times, they had to le described in several indictments. fact of our reporter having omitted to state, in the report of this judgment, which appeared in yester day's Sun, that the judgment of the Court below was affirmed. As, however, four Judges had decided in favour of affirming the judgment, and only three for reversing it, those accustomed to the practice of the courts would at once perceive that the judgment was affirmed.—ED. Sun.] The prisoners, two respectable looking young men, were then brought into court. The Crown officer of the court then read over the .ndictmentf, nine of which charged the prisoners vith stealing and embezzling certain large sums of noney at various times, from their employers, at Digs, n the county of Norfolk. Two other indictments Urged the prisoners with having conspired to obtain .hese moneys. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. They were :hen informed that her Majesty's coroner and attor ley joined issue, and that they would be tried at the wit assizes for the county of Norfolk. Mr. Couch (who appeared on the part of Rix) moved that particulars of the charges, to be made in writing, should be supplied by the prosecutors. Mr. PALMER objected to this, from the difficulty there would.be in giving the particulars. The par ticulars would be that the prisoners had, at certain imes, made false entries. The sum taken was 10,0001 _ _ It was subsequently determined that particulars of the conspiracy should be supplied, and another ap plication should be made with regard to the felony in affidavits. The prisoners were then returned to he custody of the gaoler of Norfolk. IN RE ♦NDSRSON AND BILL. Mr. CROWDER moved for a rule to show cause why the sum of 2,6831. 2s. Gd. should not be paid to qr. H. James, and why Anderson and Hill should not deliver to Mr. James a bill of their costs and charges on account of a certain trust fund, and why they should not answer the matters us certain affidavits. The parties in question had acted as attorneys under a trust deed, by which ti lady was entitled to a large sum of money which was to be invested to her benefit. One .f the trustees to this deed had died, and the other was anxious to discontinue his trusteeship, and appli cation was made to Mr. James and another party to become trustees. To this the parties consented, and executed the necessary deeds. Money was after wards paid into the hands of certain bankers to the :redit of the new trustees, who at various periods signed cheques, upon the representation of Anderson and Hill that the money was required =to be placed out on certain mortgages. Hill subsequently became bankrupt, and it was then discovered that these dif ferent securities were prepared in favour of Hill, who had assigned all of them to his creditors. Some deeds had been made in favour of the trustees, but they had been executed on unstamped paper, although the stamps had been charged for in Anderson and Hill's hill of costs. Anderson had declared he knew nothing of the affair, and that James had better prove under the estate of Hill. This last had been examined, and Admitted the receipt of the sums, which he said he had received on account of a debt of 1,9001. due to him from Anderson. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that a rule to pay over the money only should be taken, abandoning the answering of the matters in the affidavits. EXCHEQUER. CHAMBER, Jan. 22. THE BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE CASE.-GOSLING V. VELET. The following is a fuller report of Lord Chief Jus • tice Wilde's judgment in this case than appeared in our paper of yesterday : Lord Chief Justice WILDE was also of opinion that the judgment should be reversed. The record stated that the vestry was held in obedience to the monition of the spiritual court to make a rate for the repairs of .he church and other expenses for the decent celebra; don of divine service ; that a rate of 2s. in the pound was proposed; that the vicar inquired whether any other amendment was 'proposed as to the amount of the rate, to which no affirmative answer was returned. It did not state that any negative was given, but it lid state that no other question was put to the meet ing. The record further states that the majority of voters having refused the necessary funds, the church wardens made the rate in question, and it was further illeged that the amount proposed to be raised could only be obtained by ' a rate of 2s. in the )ound. lle thought the record sufficiently showed -hat the rate was not put to the majority in any manner ; whilst, on' the• other hand, it was impossible to discover froth it whether the rate was node by any majority whatever. Supposing the po ,ition, that the majority refusing to make the •ate were to be considered 'as absent, was correct, aid that the minority made a rate, still he up irehended that the rate could only be made by their iota on a question subniitted'to them. The question - Lrose then on the record; whether the rate was made )e a legal majority of parishioners in vestry assem ded. The second question to be considered was . Nhether those who made the rate were competent to' lo so, and whether, in doing so, they conformed to he law. In making a proper rate it was necessary o have regard to certain circumstances, such as • the .stimate of the repairs, and the propriety of some rate, he periods when it was to be paid, and the amount ; but none of those points were brought under the con sideration of the vestry. It was undoubted law that • no pecuniary burden could be imposed on any subject .xcept by established legal authority. The only legal_ authority to impose a church-rate was a majority of WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1850. EXCHEQUER COURT, Jan. 22. ,Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF autos and a Middlesex Common Jury.) CLARE V. SKELTON AND WIFE. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Tindal Atkinson were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Crowder and Mr. Sewell for the defendants. This action was brought to recover damages for a false imprisonment. It appeared that the plaintiff was a cook in the service of the defendants, who kept a lodging-house in Suffolk-place, Pall-mall. She left that place- on the 12th of November last, and was afterwards given into the custody of a police-con stable by the female defendant, on a charge of having stolen two blankets and a tablecloth. Upon a search being made at the plaintiff's lodgings, at the instance of the female defendant, the missing articles were not found. Nevertheless, the charge of robbery was persisted in, and upon it the plaintiff was kept in custody from Wednesday, the 14th of November, until Friday, the 16th, as the magistrate did not sit on the intervening day, the 15th, in consequence of its having been appointed as a public thanksgiving. the plaintiff was discharged on the 16th, and thii action was commenced shortly afterwards. The de fendants pleaded a justification, but it was not sub stantiated, and the contention on their part was limited to the fact of there being reasonable and probable cause of charging the plaintiffwith the rob bery, and, at the same time, of there being no evi• dente of malice. Verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 20/. WILSON D. ♦SIILET, _ A rule was granted in this case, on the motion of Mr. Atherton, on behalf of the defendant, for a new trial.

The LORD CHIRP BARON delivered judgment for the plaintiffs in this action to-day, which was argued before the Court during last term on a special case. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jan. 22. (Before Dr. LUSnINUTON.) THE TEIDBNT. This is a salvage case, which the owners an crews of three smacks, called Lalls Rookh, Five Brothers, and George the Fourth, all of Harwich, bring on against the United States vessel Trident. Dr. ADDAMS appeared for the crews of the three smacks, and stated that the Lalla Rookh, on the 21st September last, got under weigh from Harwich harbour, and anchored under the Languard Fort, in readiness to put to sea to assist any vessel that might be seen in distress, the wind at .the time blowing a strong gale from E.S. E., which continued to increase during the night, and about three, A.M., on the next morning", while on the look-out, the crew saw a light on the larboard bow to the S.E., and considering it to proceed from a vessel near the 'Cork Sands, they made towards it, when they found it to proceed from .a very large vessel, which proved to be the United States ship the Trident, of 335 tons, trading from Amsterdam to New York, with a general cargo and emigrants. She had all her masts gone. Part of the crew of the Lalla Rookh got into their boat and endeavoured to get on board the Trident, but could not, from the mast and rigging hanging over her sides and flapping about. She was then in only four fathoms water, about a quarter of a mile from the Cork Sands, her head at the time was S S.W., the tide fast ebbing, and had she gone on shore she must have remained there in great peril until high water. At this time her main, mizen, and foremasts were gone, and her top-yards and sails, and with difficulty the crew of the Lalla Itookh was at last able to get on board, when the master of the Trident asked it the lights then seen were not the South Foreland, and being informed they were not, the master gave up the ship to the crew of the Lalla Rookh. By this time the other two smacks, the Five Brothers mad the George the Fourth, came up and assisted. Having cleared away the deck of the Tri dent from the wreck that covered it, they towed her off the sands into Harwich harbour ; the ship, cargo, crew, and passengers, were saved from destruction by this timely assistance, and for which he had no doubt the Court would award salvage to the parties. Dr. ROBINSON followed on the same side. Dr. liaaaaen said he appeared for the owners of the Trident, and contended that the vessel did not require any extra hands, that no pump was at work, that the master and crew of the Trident got her off the sands without any assistance, that they cut away the t therigging her, and that she was in no danger a Rookh c ame t o her assistance, time t t h o e ease Lciht and there was no danger of life, the wind being also fair to carry her into harbour. The master of the Trident admitted they bad been in danger, but they had relieved themselves from it without any assist ance, and what services had been rendered by the smacks were amply remunerated by the tender of 50/., which he had no doubt the Court would consider sufficient. Dr. ROBEATSON was heard for the 'same party. • The L arned JUDGE said this was a claim of sal vage made against the United States ship Trident, bound to New York with a general cargo, and 36 em i gr ants on board. Having got on the Cor k Sands, off Harwich, which the master took to be the Good win Sands, three smacks bad rendered her assistance, for which SOL had been tendered. A question for the Caul to decide was, whether the two last vessels were entitled to salvage, or whether they made a claim without due foundation ? There was no doubt but that the vessel was in great danger, for the master had hoisted a light for assistance, which unquestion ably he wanted, and the Rookh coming up, she towed,the Trident, with the assistance of the other two smacks; in safety into Harwich harbour, and this must have been done with the consent of the master of the Trident. The Learned Judge said he felt the services were meritorious, and that they were - all entitled to salvage. The vessel and cargo were estimated of the value of 4,8001., and instead of 50/, which had been tendered, he should award the sum of 2001. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 22. ()More Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) The adjourned sessions for the month of January commenced this mor4ing at Hicks'-hall, Clerken we 1 l-green. The calendar contains a list of about 70 prisoners, of whom nearly the whole are indicted for the com mission of felony. The Learned JUDGE briefly addressed the grand jury.. W. Anderson, a boy of 14 years of age, was indicted for the following robbery : It appeared from ,the evidence that about the middle of the day of the 10th inst. the prisoner went into the shop of a baker of the name of Cooper, in William street, Stepney, and asked the wife of that person, who-happened to be standing behind the counter, for a halfpepnyworth of bread, and at the same time he placed a penny piece on the counter. As Mrs. Cooper was fn the act . of giving the boy the change he threW a handful of pepper <into her eyes, and in stantly jumped up on to the counter, and began to help himself out of the till, which had been Pnly the moment before opened by Mrs. Cooper. The boy, however, having possessed himself of Bd., heard a noise, which induced him to desist and make his escape. Ile was, however, pursued and quickly overtaken by the prosecutor in an adjoining street. No sooner had he been secured than the boy turned round, and held out the 31. to his pursuer, remarking, " Oh, its only 3 1., so it's not worth running for, so I gives in ; but you would not have nabbed me it it had been more." the prosecutor, of course, gave him into the custody ore policeman, and. he was now put upon his trial. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. PAYNB remarked, that the prisoner appeared to have adopt e d the , n.ew mode. of enabling a man to commit a robbery:" It - was only the other day that a jeweller in Fleet street had bean robbed of a watch under preciealy similar circumstances. One of the police now intimated to the Court that the boy at the bar had only been released two days previously from the gaol at Ilford, where he had un dergone an imprisonment for the commission or a highway robbery. The Learned JUDGE—For what robbery, do you say ? The policemen—For highway robbery, my Lord. The prisoner, with three others, stopped a chaise on the turnpike road ; and one of the party, but not the prisoner, fired a pistol at the driver. They succeeded in effecting the robbery they intended, and, then made off, but the prisoner was afterwards taken. The Learned JUDGE observed that the case of this boy presented a fearful instance of depraved juvenile precocity. The best course of treatment that could be applied to such a case would have been to have sent him to Parkhurst ; hut it unfortunately hap pened that he had not now the power to pass such a sentence as would have the effect of obtaining his admission into that establishment. All that be could do, therefore, was to sentence him to six inooths' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor rection. Newbound, aged 24, was indicted for having stolen two silk handkerchiefs, of the value of 104., the property of Richard H. Teller. Mr. Collyer appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that oa the evening of the 17th inst. the prisoner had come into his shop, where he had asked to be shown some silk handkerchiefs. Of course, reg arding him as a probable purchaser, the request was complied with, but, in consequence of there being a peculiarity of manner in the way in which the prisoner handled the handkerchiefs, after a short time had elapsed he accused him of having secreted two out of the lot. Upon this charge being made against him the prisoner took the two misting handkerchiefs from under his coat, where he had, as he imagined, concealed them without his having been seen to do so, and threw them down upon the counter. Ttose handkerchiefs, added the prosecutor, formed a portion of the parcel which had been exhibited to the prisoner for him to make a choice from. Mr. COLLIER addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE left it to the jury to say, whether, upon the evidence they had heard, they en tertained any doubt in the case. If they did, of course they would give the benefit of such doubt to the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Two persons of the names of Squires and Weeks, who had been convicted at the December sessions of an assault, were now brought up for judgment. It will be remembered that a colonial agent of the name of Hardwick, residing in South-street, Fins bury-square, had purchased two pianofortes from the defendant Squires, for one of which he paid at once upon its delivery, but that on his complaining that the instrument which had bees sent in some days afterwards was of an inferior, quality, Squires, ac companied by the other defendant, with his van, and several other persons, had gone to the prosecutor's house, where, after they had assaulted him because he endeavoured to prevent their removing the instrument which was the better of the two, and that which had been sent in the first and had been paid for, they by force carried both of the instruments away. Mr. EighT, who appeared for the prosecutor, now said that the parties had entered into an arrangement, in pursuance of which the defendant was to repay the prosecutor the sum which he had given for the first pianoforte, namely 23/, and also to pay a further sum of 101. for costs. At the same time it was a . matter of anxiety with the prosecutor, that the Court should be informed that the defendant Squires had withdrawn and retracted every offensive expression which he had on a former occasion given utterance to. The Learned JUDGE was extremely glad that so wise a course had been taken. He could not but compliment the prosecutor upon the spirit he had manifested throughout the whole transaction. The defendant Squires then paid the 33/. ; and The loarned JUDGE thereupon passed a nominal sentence upon the defendants, both of whom were then discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A respectable-looking woman presented herself be fore the magistrate to complain that same authoress had been making use of her name in applying for some relief from the charity-box, an account or which had appeared in some of the papers, and which was calculated to alarm her friends in the country, if uncontradicted. This person was represented by the newspapers to have said she had nearly finished a va lumnious poem, and to have given her name as Anna Maria Jones, the authoress of some well-known works of fiction. The fact was that she (the app li . cant) was the Anna Maria Jones referred to, and she handed up a list of her works. Sir P. LAURIE, in looking over the list, said— Why, did you write the whole of these ? She replied that she did. They made thirty-stight volumes. --------- Sir P. LAURIE said—But you are not the authoresi of the " Scottish Chiefs," for that is the work of ♦nna Maria Porter. The applicant replied, that one work was called the " Scottish Chiefs," and the other the " Scottish Chieftains." She was not answerable for this seem ing piracy, for it was the bookseller's device, to which perhaps she weakly yielded. The taste of the public had so completely altered since she began novel-writing, at nineteen years of age, that she could get nothing for such labour now. Sir P. LAURIE said she was not the only literary character who was complaining of the entire change in the public taste, and had been thereby reduced to straitened circumstances. She said, that was unhappily her case. She could no longer support herself in comfort by her pen, and, to increase her distress, her husband, to whom she had looked for support, had become of impaired in tellect._ _ . _ , Sir P. LAl3ElE:asked what her husband's name was She replied, that it was Lowndes, and he was it business for a long- time as a - dramatic bookseller, but he failed in trade, and that misfortune preyed upon his mind. Alth ough she was in straitened cir. cumstances, she was not reduced to beg charity at a police-office, and she was afraid the account would alarm her friends in Monmouthshire, where shs had resided a great many years. Sir P. LAURIE had no dohbt the newspapers would set her right with the public. Mrs. Lowndes thanked Sir P. L curie for his at tention, and then retired: MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Lovell, John White, Clara Fisher, and Eliza Bedding, were charged with having been con cerned in a burglary committed the over night in the house of Mr. William Skeffington, bookseller, No. 192, Piccadilly, and with stealing a cash-box contain ing 691. in notes and gold. It appeared that about six o'clock that morning police-constable Brown, F 142, and police-constable Hurd, A 85, saw the two female prisoners proceeding together, in the direction of Waterloo-bridge, and, knowing they were the associates of bad characters, one of the constables went up to them and asked Red ding what she had concealed.beneath her shawl. The priioner at first refused to allow the constable to see, but the constable lifted up her arm and took from under it a cash-box, which apparently had recently been forced open. Suspecting that a robbery had been committed, the;other prisoner, Fisher, was stopped, and as they were on their way to the Bow-street station house the constables saw Fisher take some thing from her bosom wrapped in a pocket handkerchief, and make a movement as if about to throw it over the bridge. The con stable took_ the handkerchief, and on examining its contents found 11 sovereigns. In the same prisoner's possession were some letters, which were believed to have been written by the prisoner Lovell. Shortly after the apprehension of the two female prisoners in-• formation was sent round to the various station'- houses that a burglary had been committed a few hours ago in the house of Mr. Skeffington, 192, Piccadilly, and a cash-box containing 691. in notes and gold stolen therefrom. The cash-box taken from Bedding was shown to Mr. Skeffington, and imme diately identified. Suspicion at once fell on the 'pri soner Lovell, who was occasionally employed in the house by Mr. Skeffington, and who had been in trusted to fasten up the shop the previous night. The police went to Lovell's lodgings in Peter-street, but he was not then at home. Police-sergeant West, F 7, went to the woman Redding's lodgings in Lincoln court, and, seeing the prisoner White, who was ac quainted with her,, about to enter one of the houses, he followed, and insisted on searching him. The constable found nothing in his pockets, but on making him take off his shoes eleven sovereigns were disco vered. The constable then took him into custody, on suspicion of having been concerned with the others in the burglary. Mr. Skeffington proved that the cash-box was safe in his desk the overnight. The prisoner fastened up the place, or rather pretended to fasten it up, and it was presumed he merely shut - th e s t ree t-d oo r, and then returned to the shop and bolted himself in. About five o'clock in the morning the witness Wd3 alarmed by the police ringing at his bell, and stating that the street-door was open. Os going into the shop, witness found a desk broken open, and the cash box gone. One' of the constables found a small chisel, which had apparently been used to break the desk open with. Witness suspected the prisoner Lovell, and gave information of the circumstance to the police. Shortly after the police had gone after . Lovell, and had found him from home, Lovell came to the shop to ask the object of the inquiry after him. lie was then given into custody. One of the constables stated that the chisel now produced had been seen in the possession of the prisoner. Lovell declared his innocence of tb® charge, find his ignorance of anything relating to the chisel. 55: 1 —S1effield, Porn As for the letters found in the girl Fisher's pos- 5 per cent., l GI. Is. ses.ion, he could not have written them, as he was un- i Ditto, Pi eference, 5% able to write. Fisher had nothing to say, and Redding asserted 1 - lat some prson had given her the cash-box to carry, and had promised her a trifle for her trouble. White said the money in his slices was his own property. They were all remanded. Mr. SkeiThigtori, with the view of tracing the note , , or of causing them to be stopped if offered to be passed, stated that they consisted of two 101. and se veral 51. notes, marked for the most part in his own handwriting with the names of C.

TILE LATE GrNINsSION (4' A MURDER OF ONE or THE COAST GUARD MANY YEAR: AGO Yest4-rday John Lane was brought up froni the! 1•Iouse of De tention and placed at th- bar beiort Mr. Broughton, frr re-exarninAtion, on the charge preferred against him, upon his own conf,st , ion, with having been im plicated, with a numh,r of smugglers, 18 years :4g°, in an affray at Elstboarne with the cast guard, when one of that body wa _ . . It will he rei . nemhered that on the 15th instant the prisot , er gave hinaelf up at the Portland police sta tion-house, when he voluntw iiy stated that he was employed by the smugglers to assist in keeping back the coast guard while they (the former) were carry ing away casks of spirits ; he was questioned by the magistrate as to why he had not made the confession before, to which he replied that in 1842 he went to Brighton, in the expectation of seeing Lieu tenant Hall, who belonged to the coast guard when the murder was committed, and if he could then have found hint he should have told him all about it ; he was remanded, and Inspector Chambers, of the S division, was directed to institute inquiries as to the prisoner's habits and state of mind, as also to elicit such other particulars as might bear upon the matter in question ; he (prisoner) seemed in a very low and desponding state during the inquiry, and the impression upon most of those in court was that bis intellects were impaired. Yesterday, upon his being brought from the lock up room in the yard, and placed in the dock by Mit chell, the gaoler, his appearance, generally, indicated much more fully than before that he was not in his right mind. Two gentlemen from her Majesty's Customs, and another gentleman, a missionary, to whom the pri soner was known, Were in attendance. Many questions were put to the prisoner in relation to the affair, and his answers were of a very vague and incoherent nature; in short, he had no distinct recollection of anything which he had stated at the station, or when first he was charged at the court. The missionary above alluded to said he had known the prisoner nearly four years. He mentioned many particulars with respect to his (prisoner's) recent be haviour, and in his (witness's) opinion the poor man was not sane. This opinion was concurred in by the magistrate and the gentlemen from the Customs, the latter of whom put the bench in possession of the facts in con nexion with the coast guard man being shot in the affray, and said that one man only had ever been taken up on suspicion of guilt, and he was discharged without trial, as no one could identify him. Under all the circumstances they, after some conversation with Mr. Broughton, felt that it wac not such a case as could be followed up with the slightest chance of a conviction, and that, therefore, it would be useless for them to prosecute. • The MAGISTRATE discharged the prisoner, and gave him up to the care of his wife, a respectably dressed woman, carrying on the business of a laun dress in Portland-town. WORSHIP-STREET. John Williams, a diminutive Lascar mendicant of most repulsive aspect, was placed at the bar before Air. Hammill, charged with an outrageous attack upon a young lady, named Catherine Mather; fourteen yearsof age, the daughter of a Dissenting minister, residing in Welbeck-street, Cavendish squ Mr. HAMMILL said he should order the prisoner to be brought up again in a week that the attendance of an interpreter might be procured. CLERKENWELL. _ It was so arranged by Mr. Combe that the Misses ll—, the orphan daughters of a medical officer, at tached to the 14th Dragoons, should appear at this court for the purpose of receiving the donations which had been forwarded by benevolent persons who sym pathised with them and their distressing case. Having received an intimation from an officer of the court that their attendance was required, they arrived about eleven o'clock, and had a private inter view with Mr. Combe, and Mr. Mallet, the chief clerk ; and they were subsequently introduced into the public court, when Mr. COMBE addressed them as follows :---I have in quired into your case. I find, so long ago as the year 1540, you wrote a letter to a noble lady, a Duchess, soliciting charity. A friend of that lady made in quiries, and has placed in my hands his report, which is to the following effect :—You then lived at No. 6, Palace-yard, Pimlico ; you after Wards removed to No. 7, Arbour•terrace, Commercial-road ; and to No. 15, Gloucester-terrace, Commercial-road. When you had been there some time your landlord wished to get rid of you, but you refused to go. You were ejected by process of law, which cost the landlord 101. The Duchess was therefore advised that you were not proper objects of her bounty. You have re- , fused parish relief, and another asylum which has been offered to you. Under these cireumstances must decline further interference in your behalf ; but, as I have received altogether for you 651.33. 6d., the account of which I have closely examined, and you have already received 241., I shall not withhold the balance of 411. 3s. 6d from you. Mr. Norton has also received some money, which you may apply to him for.. Oae of the sisters was in so excited a state that she could scarcely stand. The 411. 34. 6d. was handed to her sister, and she expressed her gratitude for what had been done for them. Mr. COMBS said he did not want them to say any thing after what he bad said ; and they left the court with painful feelings. Our reporter saw the ladies subsequently to their leaving, when one of the sisters seemed almost dis tracted in consequence of the ordeal which she had gone through, They did not deny that in the year 1840 their father was in bad health, and that they exhausted their means, when an application was made to the Duchess of Buccleuch ; but that was the only application they had made f relief before or after their father's death, up to the time they had made their :personal application to the Honourable Mr. Norton, and since their father's death they had suffered great priyalions. They denied the charges made against them, and courted proper and impartial investigation to negative anything that might be alleged against them, and expressed their determination to enter into a full and truthful explanation in order to set themselves right with the public. Mr. COMBS, in reference to the Lucas family, for whom : subscriptions had been sent, said the father bore a respectable character, and received 15s. per week. Some portion of the family were old enough to assist, being from 23 to 25, and 17 and 19 years of age. Two of the boys had been in custody for stealing fruit, and the girls were in the habit of stopping out late at nights. The visiting clergyman and Mr. Twinning had relieved them. Mr. Mallett said no more than 81. had been sub scribed for them. Mr. COMBS said the case was not so deserving as it at first appeared to be. Mr. Mallett suggested that, as the father bore a goad character, the 81. should be delivered over to him. Mr. COMBE assented to this. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL. JAN. 22.
