[The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :—] FRANCE. The Cologne Gazette of the 24ch says- " We learn from a souroc worthy of credit hat the Duke de Bor deaux has given the mot d'ordre to the Legitimatist party in France to employ its efforts in favour of those who desire to take advantage of the present crisis in Germany to reconquer the left bank of the Rhine. According to the instructions given by the Prince to the Legitimatist party, France will now have for mission, with or without Napoleon to extend her frontiers, and to recover her ancient glory." On Saturday a large crowd assembled in the Tribunal of Correctional Police to hear the complaint of M. Charles Bonaparte (Prince de Canino), ex president of the Roman Constituent Assembly, against M. d'Arlincourt, for having libelled him in his pamphlet called l'ltalie Rouge. But M. Berryer, counsel for the defendant, having written to say that he could not attend on account of indisposition, the case was put off to the 3d Decembers The Gazette de France of Saturday says—" The meeting of the Rue de B.ivoli (Legiimatist) yester • day presented immense interest; the political line to be followed by the right was fully discussed. An orator, . whose ill-health has kept him from the Assembly for a year, showed the necessity of abandoning the policy of ab'tention and silence, and of taking an initiative in conformity with the general sentinit.rit. M. B:Tryer replied by an apology of the course hitherto followed, and is said to have added, as we are assured, that the negative policy might at present be replaced by an expectant policy. To this the first speaker is said to have replied that the difference between the two lines of policy could not be defined, and that he con sidered it necessary to adopted a militant policy. He is also said to have declared himself in favour of the imntediate revision of the electoral law of the 31st of May, and was supported in his opinion by several of his colleagues, following the direction of the Ho nourable General de Saint-Priest. All this sitting caused a lively emotion in the Parliamentary Right. We find the following in the Ordre, on the subject of the appointment of the Commissary of Police of the National Assembly : " We lately announced that the Minister of the In terior had demanded to be heard by the Committee on Parliamentary Initiative, relative to the appointment of the Commissary of Police of the Legislative As sembly. The meeting took place on Saturday, and, atter some discussion, the Minister is said to have nearly come to an understanding on the following rtoints:-1. The Cummitta is said to have demanded that the tune- tionary attached to the Chamber might be chosen not only from among the commissaries of the city of Paris, but among all the commissaries of France. 2. That he can only be dismissed with the consent of the bureau of the Assembly. 3. That his salary shall be paid by the Assembly. 4. The committee were of opinion that the communications of this agent should, in the first place, be made to the President and to the questors, and that they should communicate them to the Minister of the Interior. We may add that, in the idea of the com mittee these different stipulations offer no impediment to the maintenance of M. Yon as Special Commissary c f the Legislative Assembly. M. riaroche, it is said, requested to consult the Council of Ministers on the acceptance of these different stipulations, and the committee afterwards adjourned to Monday." GERMANY. The latest papers from Berlin are of the morning of the 22d, the evening journals of that day not having arrived by the mail. A letter of the 22d states that the speech of Count Schwerin, on being elected Pre sident of the Secon Chamber, produced an electrical effect on the Assembly. He said, " The universal cry that reaches us from all the provinces of Prussia is—Prussia will submit to no humiliations." The Count then added, " However difficult our task may be, the eagle of Prussia must show itself in the light ; the people, convinced of its rights, is full of anxious expectation. I hope that in this Chamber we shall attain the most elevated point—that of German patriotism, and prove that Germany is more attached to Prussia since that power has entered into the family of constitutional states." A letter from Vienna of the 18th, in the Co logne Gazette, states that, notwithstanding the con tinued preparation for war, the conferences between the French Minister and Prince Schwartzenberg had led to an expectation that peace would be maintained. Letters from Frankfort of the 22d state that the Diet had adopted some resolutions which, it was hoped, would lead to the pacific termination of the differ ences with Prussia on the subject of Electoral Hesse. A telegrahic dispatch from Berlin, dated in the after noon of the 23d brings the quotations of the Prus sian Funds a half per cent. lower than on the preced ing day. . A letter from Berlin of the 21st, in the Dibats, gives the following account of the manner in which the Royal Speech was received :—" The Assembly at first listened in silence; but the rtuage in which the King promises to inviolably maintain the constitution was interrupted by the 'first applause. The King read the Speech in a slow and monotonous manner, until he came to the passage which spoke of the disastrous complications in Electoral Hesse. His Majesty laid particular emphasis on the word disastrous.' His voice then rose, he read more rapidly, and in a more emphatic manner, and with animated gesture. He was interrupted by the most enthusiastic applause. When be had finished, there was a triple round of cheer, followed by a similar compliment to the Prince of Prussia, which is a sig nificative demonstration when it is considered that the Prince is at the head of the war party." A letter from Berlin of the 92d, in the Indipen dance of Brussels, says—" The warlike enthusiasm is still the same ; but the Speech from the Throne, of which the warlike passages produced an electric effect on the representatives, has not satisfied the public out of doors. On a calm reading, this docu ment, not having the support of the accent and action of the august orator, appears lukewarm. The Constitutional Gazette is of that opinion. The left, in general, appears discontented. As regards the negotiations, nothing is decided. Prussia demands two things—the presidency by turns, and the delega tion of the executive authority to the two great powers. As for the latter point, Austria says that she must consult her allies. The alternate presidency is promised. Some persons believed that in conse quence of the Prussian mobilization, Austria, in order not to cede to menaces, may withdraw the conditions offered. This is a point of view which must not be lightly treated." A. latter from Carlsruhe, 21st, says—" According to accounts fr om th e G ran d Duchy of Baden of the 18th, an ordonnance has been published to the effect that the young men belonging to the military class of 1850 are to be incorporated in the army by the 16th of next month." The Berlin State Gazette of the 22d has a letter from Vienna of the 19th, stating that it is not true that the Austrian Government had consented to suspend its war like preparations, and the march of troops, on the demand of Prussia. Prince Schwartzenberg, on the contrary, says the letter, bad declared that the Aus trian Government had no right to take such a measure, as the preparations were being made in execution of a federal obligation. A letter from Vienna of the 19th says :—" We learn that upwards of 300,000 men will take the field, and that no diminution of the army of Italy will be made, as the-troops taken away - will be replaced by others. The other provinces of the empire, especially Hungary, will continue to be strongly occupied." ITALY. The Giornale di Roma, of the 156, has a leader on the present agitation in England. It tells its readers that the Government has not given ear to the " furious tempest" raised by the papers against the Papal brief which restores the Catholic hierarchy in England ; that it has remained calm in the midst of meetings, circu lars, and addresses, and that it will not yield to peti tions and questions in Parliament. It asserts that the law of the land has been respected, and denies the as sertion of the Bishop of London, that the brief is a negation of the spiritual power of the Queen. " The English Catholic subjects," it adds, " have never ac knowledged that power, and those who daily embrace Catholicism deny it formally. And yet these sub jects, who are now depicted as rebel•, are, on the con trary, excellent citizens in the eyes of the Govern ment itself. If it be so, and if the English Catholics are to enjoy the same lights as their countrymen, it is clear that the brief ITa3 not attacked the spiritual authority of the chief of the state, since the Catholics do not acknowledge it." It further contends that the new territorial division, established by the brief, is not contrary to the Emancipation Act, and that the Catholics are protected by that Act, while Metho dists and other Dissenters are merely tolerated. It concludes with a hope that Parliiment will take no serious notice of the matter, and look upon it as an affair of etiquette. The Risergimento of Turin of the 20th, the chief Ministerial organ, contains the following paragraph : " For some time past the Turin journals have been talking of a Ministerial crisis, or at least of various changes in the Cabinet. We recommend our contem poraries to be rather more cautious in crediting and spreading rumours of this kind. As fai as we are informed, we can declare that there never was, nor is now, the least foundation for their suppositions, and that there is not the slightest danger nor probability of a Ministerial modification." The Royal decree for the prorogation of the Piedmontese Chambers was read in the Cham ber of Deputies on the 19th by Signor Galvagno, the Minister of the Interior. The decree fixes the opening of the new session for the 23d instant. The Piedmontese Gazetle contains a paragraph in its non-official part, stating that the persons entrusted by the Minister with the care of publishing the de cree immediately after the reading of it in the two Chambers had published it before the reading, in con aNuence of which. they had been severely repri manded. The Ferrara Gazette dates that, a few incendiary placards having been posted up at Vogbera and Cop paro, in the province of Ferrara, denouncing the new law establish!: g a tax o❑ trades and professions, the police has discovered the culprit, who is a mere child, that had been induced to commit the act by some enemies of order, to whom a severe bas:inado has been administered by order of the authorities. • GREECE. The Greek Chambers were opened by the Queen at Athens on the 12th. The country was tranquil. GOLD AND SILVER. A singular rise which has been going on for some time in the price of silver has created much inquiry. The idea that it may be owing to the influx of Cali fornian gold naturally occurs to every one, and gives the subject its chief interest. In ordinary times the question might be easily settled, but, from the peculiar state of the continent, together with the change re cently made in the Dutch currency, a definite con clusion at present is rendered impossible. The three causes now in operation, namely, the Californian influx, the requirements for the pay and maintenance of the German armies, and the subsitution of silver for gold in Holland, have come into active operation almost simultaneously. They all have the some tendency, and the task therefore simply is to discover the proportionate influence of each. For this, however, the materials are wanting. We do not know with certainty the total increase which has taken place in the supply of gold, or, as regards silver, the quantity absorbed in Germany, or on the continent generally, either by the armies or from hoarding, or other causes, and, even if this information were before us, we should still be ignorant of the total stock of bullion in the world, upon the amount of which alone could any accurate calculations be founded. Although, however, we must thus wait until some of the perplexing elements of the question shall have been removed—tbr if the war mania were to termL nate, and the effect of the Dutch legislation had passed away, we should then have no difficulty in looking to California for its solution—there are many considerations that may, even now, throw some light upon the matter, and which may be usefully borne in mind in watching the future. We have remarked that all the influences now existing operate in one way. The only direct mode in which any effect from the Californian gold could first he observed would be by looking at the relative price of silver. 'We must measure the state of the market for gold by the purchasing power of that metal, and silver is the best commodity where with to test this purchasing power, as it is less liable to fluctuation than any other. In proportion, therefore, as the supply of gold increases, sib'er will steadily become dearer—that is to say, a 51. note re presenting a certain weight of gold will buy less silver than previously. At the same time the pur chases of silver by Germany and Holland must of course have a similar effect. They are made by means either of gold coin transmitted to us direct, or of gold due from us for credits allowed or shipments received, our merchants, in the latter case, being in structed, instead of sending the gold that is owing, to send as much silver as it will procure. In the combined action thus going forward enough is consequently presented to remove all surprise that remarkable results should already have been observed. There are, however, some minor circumstances to be noticed which modify these general operations, al though, as it is impossible to estimate their aggregate bearing, it cannot be ascertained whether on the whole they have tended to mitigate or to increase the change that has been in progress. Among these, on the one band, is the demand for silver in California, and on the other, the alleged increase of production in the silver mines of South America, the extensive issue of small paper currency, by which silver has been dis placed in Austria, and finally, a gradual displacement of silver by gold, which is observable in the United States. Supposing it to be a question, whether the effect of the demand for silver in Germany has not been coun teracted to a very great extent by the issue of Aus trian paper, and also if the supplies of silver required at San Francisco have not been met by the more abundant yield of the mouth American mines, we should then be driven to attribute the late rise in this country mainly to the Dutch operations or to Cali fornia, or to both. The step adopted by Holland, of calling in her 5 and 10 guilder pieces, took place on the 22d of June, and the amount of gold disengaged by it has been about four millions sterling. As yet, however, not more than about 500,0001. is believed to have been replaced by silver, the remainder being re presented by notes, which will continue in circula tion until the requisite amount of silver can be ob tained. Whether this or the possible fact that 10,000,0001. of gold (being nearly double the total estimated annual yield of all the South-American mines in 1840) has been suddenly added to the stock of bullion in the world, which some have conjectured not to exceed 330,000,0001. in all, and of which gold constitutes by far the smallest proportion, may have had the greatest force, is a point which must be left for speculation. _ _ _ But, whatever view may be adopted by each indi vidual as to the influence which has been predomi nant in producing the effect that has occurred, there can be no question that that effect has been of a most decided and important character. At this period last year the price of silver was 4s. Hid. per ounce, and it is now ss. lii , the rise being within a fraction of 3 per cent. ; a difference wnich (apart from other considerations) is considerable, as affecting the seig norage on our own silver coinage. This coinage based on the forming of 66 shillings out of every pound weight of standard silver, leaving a gross profit to the Government, when silver was at its usual price of 4s. 110. per ounce, of nearly 11 per cent., and which profit is now reduced to about 71 per cent. In France the premium on gold has fallen within thl same period from 13k per male to 3i per male ; so that it is now re duced to only about k per cent. Should any further important decline take place, the silver coins of that country will then gradually be dis• placed by gold; for they will intrinsically be worth more than their nominal value. Again, in the United States the same effect is observable. Last year the half-dollar silver coinage was at par. It is now quoted 24 premium. This will cause silver to be exported, and its place to be supplied by an increased coinage of gold dollars, half-eagles, sad eagles. At the same time it is to be remarked, that in pro portion as silver thus comes to be displaced by gold in countries where it has hitherto been in extensive cir culation. its further relative rise will be checked, be cause its uses, and the consequent demand for it, will be diminished. A decrease in the intrinsic value of each metal may then be looked for, although not in equal proportions; and the only way.in which it will I be possible that this fall can be traced thereafter will be by ascertaining from time to time the general ex changeable relation between them and other commo dities, so as to compare the purchasing power of both with what it was at former periods. RADICAL REFORM IN THE LAW. LIGHT FROM THE WEST. (From the Weekly News.) While we have been grumbling at law abuses, and nibbling here and there at some of their more pro minent evils, our relatives over the water have gone quietly and manfully to work, and out of the old chaos of English common law and equity, they have created for themselves a rational, simple, intelligible, and uniform judicial system, by means of which any man, who has a claim against another, may obtain substantial justice, quickly, cheaply, and securely. This sounds like Utopia, but it may be found at New York. The citizens of that state used to have their law courts, with all their paraphernalia of diver sity of actions, intricacy of special pleading, demurrer, error, &c., &c., just like our own. They had inhe rited these things while English subjects, and they had long retained them. So, too, they had their Courts of Chancery, like the English, totally, distinct from the common law tribunals, with their tedious and costly procedures and unsatisfactory mode of taking testimony on depositions composed in private, and not from the lips of witnesses and in public. In New York, as in England, the people groaned under the costliness, the tardiness, and the uncertainty of the law. But the New Yorkers went to work more boldly and more wisely than we do.' They did not wait for the lawyers to reform the law—for the spiders to clear away the webs : —they met in convention as their Constitution au thorises them to meet, and they ordered that their law should be thoroughly reformed • that their Courts of Chancery should be abolished ; and that a simple uniform mode for obtaining redress for civil wrongs should be provided, throughout which sub stantial justice should be the paramount object, and that all forms and technicalities which could stand in its way should be exterminated. Three commis sioners were appointed to draw up a code in that spirit ; and a code so prepared was ratified by the Houses of Legislature, and became the law of that state early in 1848. We consider this subject so important, and we find in that code so admirable a model for our own guid ance, that we intend to lay the principal portions of it before our readers ; we mean those portions by which the distinction between law and equity is abolished, which give a single form of action, which abolish special pleading, and which provide for the trials of issues in fact and of issues of law. There are also very valuable provisions respecting costs, and the right of examining the hostile parties in the case, which we shall also extract in extenso. We earnestly beg the attention of our readers to this code, because it shows us exactly what we want. There we have it, not in vague suggestions or crude f an cies, but in definite black and white, and in full arid careful detail. It comes also to us recommended by the test of actual experience. .orlkt,haansd•nho: worked for nearly two Years in to the thorough satisfaction of all parties there, ex cept some of the bench and bar, who there, as every where else, diilike all charge, are incapable of all philosophical comprehension, and cling like rust to the old-fashioned institutions in which they were born and bred. - We are convinced that nothing has occurred for a very long time so sure to give an impet us t o th e c:.use of law reform in this country, as the meeting of the Law Amendment Society in Regent-street, on Monday last, at which Mr. Field, one of the com missioners who prepared the New York Code, was present, and answered the numerous inquiries respec ting its nature and its operation, which were put to him by the numerous English lawyers who assembled to receive him. A report of it appears in another part of our columns. It was not a little amusing to witness the sparring between our equity and our common law men, each class being keenly appreciative of the absurdities of the other's system, and as com placently blind to those of its own. Thus, Mr. Bethel wound up a long eulogy on equity, and a long invective against common law, by saying that the true merit of the New York Code was that, by it, "law was swallowed up in equity." To which Mr. Creasy retorted that it would work the still greater miracle of " transforming equity into justice." THE INCOME TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Tte income-tax, so far as it arises from pro fessions and trades, it is hoped will be repealed the next session of Parlimm,nt. I was therefore much grieved at reading the following placard, posted about last Sunday morning -. " LEGACY TO LAMBETH. " A gentleman, well known in the Commercial and Belvidere-roads, and who is recognised by the cognomen of Paul Pry,' from his pinking and prying propensities, has just been elected a Commissioner of the Income•tax for the nest year.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov 26 (Sittings in Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Jus tics WIGHTMAN, and a Common Jury,) AMISS V. CIINNINGTON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) A witness named Chapman proved, on the part of the defence, that he met the defendant on the 6th of March, the day when the assault was committed, on his way home from the plaintiff's shop, in a state of great excite merit and half stupor. On the Monday following witness visited the defendant at his house, and found him still very unwell. Isabella Mills, a servant of the defendant's, remem bered him leaving his house on the 6th of March. He was then in his usual health. When he returned in the afternoon he appeared very unwell, and his mouth was very much swollen. Afterwards his mouth broke out all round in sores; there was a running at his eyes and nose, and be was otherwise unwell. James Pettit proved that he had heard the plaintiff say that if the defendant again came to his shop for money he would kick him out, and serve him in such a manner that he would not dome back. Mr. Sandys, a surgeon, in Ken , ish-town, deposed that he attended the defendant during his illness, and that the application to the face of an irritating sub stance or strong acid would produce the effects com plained of by the defendant. He admitted, however, that he knew of no chemical preparation which would have the odour of putrid meat and affect any person in the manner described by the defendant. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up the case, left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff was justified in the assault which he committed, or whether violent and improper means had been used by him in turning the defendant out of his shop. The jury would also have to say whether the defendant preferred the charge against the plaintiff really believing it to be true, or whether he had done so from a malicious motive. The jury, after some consid. ration, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 15/. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, N0v.26. CROWN CASES RESERVED. (Before the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, Justices Patteson, Coleridge, Erle, Maul; Cresswell, Williams, Talfourd, and Barons Parke, Alderson, Platt, and Martin.) THE QUEEN V. AILEY. In this case the defendant Wiley was convicted at the Northumberland Quarter Sessions, for receiving a quan tity of fowls knowing them to be stolen; and it now came before this Court on a point reserved by the jus tices before whom the case was tried. It appeared that two men stole the fowls, put them into a sack, and brought them into the house of 'Wiley's father, for the purpo:e of selling them to Wiley. He saw Wiley, the defendant, and after a short conversation the three parties went into a stable, one of the men who stole the fowls carrying the sack on his Lack, cud Wiley holding a light to show him the way. The sack was placed on the floor, the parties standing around it as if they were in the act of bargaining, but no words were heard to pass between them, and while in that position they were discovered and taken into custody. The question the❑ arose al to whether there was sufficient proof, on these facts, of Wiley being in possession of the goods, to render him liable to an indictment as a receiver of stolen goods within the meaning of the statute. Mr. OTTER was heard at considerable length against the conviction, and contended that the goods had never passed from the possession of the two persons who had stolen them. Mr. LIDDLE was heard in support of the conviction. Their Lordships retired to consider their judgment, and after being absent an hour. returned into court, when they delivered their judgments seriatim. The Learned Judges who were of opinion that the con viction was wrong were Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Coleridge,Mt. Justice Maule, Mr. Baron Platt, Mr. Justice Talfourd, and Mr. Baron Martin. The Learned Judges who thought the conviction was right were the Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Williams. The majority being against the conviction, the .judg ment of the court below was reversed, and the defendant ordered to be discharged from custody. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Sir F. Poi,LocK, C.B. at Westminster.) This was the first day of the sittings. The cause list contains 61 remaneis 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 V. HALLS AND ANOTHER. Mr. Crowder and Mr. gaprell 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 quastion, 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 6-fore her marriage with the plaintiff in Feb. last. From these witnesses it was elicited that Mr. and Mrs. Cooke had no: 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 her, , home 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 he 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 trespases complained of by the plaintiff, who had authorind the sale, and was during the Is hole transaction within reach of the belligerent party. The CHIEF BARON, at the close of the defendant's vidence, 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 ahem. • The jury, after, some little deliberation, found for the plaintiff, with 30/. damages. GLASGOW, Nov. 23 T —pi-14 iron—ln consequence of the numerous meetings relative to the scrip system, business in pig iron has been much interfered with during the week.

Joseph Thomas Bethel Jones, 24, clerk, a gentl, - 2 , manly, well-cire!.sed young ni4n, was indicted for 'ut tering counterfeit coin. M. Ellis, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Clerk appeared for the prosecution ' and Mr. P a rry d e fe n d e d. The facts c,f 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. Oa 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 he in the bar at the time, and recognised him as having been twice at his house, and he was again given into custody. Upon 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 Jaek.:on's Hotel, Bow-street, and Wells' Coffee-house, W4t, r loo-road ; but was not known there by name, but had . had a bed at one of those houses. Mr. PARRY, 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, Mr. 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 path, 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 20 , h of October at a house .in liensingtod-erescent, and purchased two hareskins, giving a bid shilling ie 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 hand was clenched as if there was something in it, watched her, and 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 children to it ; some of whom were now undergoing terms of imprisonment for the offence of passing base coin. She was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. The other cases, which occupied the whole day, were of the usual description; the greater number of utterings being to licensed victuallers. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Adolph de Werdenski, a Pole, who is under remand for brutally and criminally assaulting a girl under 16 years of age, was brought up for further examination. Ttae 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 was forthcoming. George Ho3kin, 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 about a Dr. Brown. The prisoner was in the Bench a year or two afterwaids, and knew the mother then. Wit ness had occasionally seen the girl since, and had no doubt in his own mind that she was born at the time he mentioned, in 1835, and would consequently be about 15 years and three months old. Catherine Younv, 8, Little Surrey-street, an elderly woman, who was present at the birth of the girl, de posed to the fact; but she said she was no scholar, and could not state the exact year when it occurred. 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. Air. JARDINE said that nothing could be done with the more serious charge against the prisoner unless 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-s.treet, was charged on suspi cion of receiving the same with the knowledge that they were stolen property. Mr. Bohn stated that 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 were packed in a brown paper parcel. Having ascer tained that the prisoner had been in the habit of sending parcels of books to the shop kept by the other pri soner, Millard, in Newgate-street, witness and the officer went there in the morning. Millard did not reach the shop till an hour afterwards. Witness had his bo o k s upon t h e s h e l ves , an d i n observed many of 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. He replied —" What, is there anything wrong then ? I always thought him a very respectable young man." Witness asked him what he 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 bard for him to be at the loss of the books, but eventually be produced them. Witness, having previously seen other books belonging to him on the shelves, toldlthe 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 threrexpensive 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 58. under the price at which they usually sell. The parcel of books which the prisoner Millard said he purchased of Taylor for 9/. 2s. was worth 5l Taylor said nothing to the charge. Millard said he had had business transactions with Taylor, su him to be a highly respectable per son. But he intended to have made inquiries respect ing the parcel of books the n ext ti me 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. Ripp on , o f Bl a ckfriars-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 or 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 fitty journeymen glaziers, among whom was the defendant, gave notice to leave his e mploy 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 be 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 1 make him (witness) repent it, or words to that efft-et. Could not tell what it: w he was to rep-nt. In reply to a quention, Mr. Fox said the words were such as to hive an effect on his mind tilt': inti midAtion wr.s anant. Mr. John Cochrane, No. 10, Walter-villas-place, proved that a sort of protest from eertrin 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 lMst 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. lie stood about foar 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 •aid, " Then you may repent it." Would swear that the defendant's hand was not clenched. Eiward 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 doendant. II- heard the wards used by the defendant, which were, "You may rt.pent 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 in 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, inasmuc,h 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 ro 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 had abundance of people to do that which the defendant and his comoanions 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 experience of it in Spitalfields. The question was one of very great im portance, and, 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 pre-s 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 a 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. CLERKEN WELL. Alfred Fuzzen, a Chartist, appeared, pursuant to his bail, charged with having assaulted Sergeant Archer, 217, and Police•constable Fisher, 127 G, whilst in the execution of their duty. Mr. Sidney, on the part of his client, denied the assaults. Mr. Comne, however, thought they had been proved, and convicted the prisoner in the sum of 205., or fourteen days' impri , onment, for each of the as saults upon Archer and Fisher. LAMBETIL Yesterday being the day appointed for the further examination of Miss Georgiana Homan, alias Homer. alias Grant, alias Irwin, alias Reynolds, 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 impthitions. 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 201. 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 o,;d BaileY, the prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. TITLE of the NEW VICE-CHANCELLOR. The question as to the title of the new Vice-Chan cellor, which has lately formed the subject of so much discussion in the equity courts since the commence ment of term, has at length been satisfactorily settled by some observations made by Sir Robert Rolfe him self in court during the week. The difficulty was this, that the statute 53 Geo. 111., under which Sir Lancelot Shadwell was appointed Vice-Chancellor, expressly provides that the Vice-Chancellor appointed under that Act shall be called Vice-Chancellor " oi. England ;" hut the stature 5 Vic., cap. 5, under which Sir J. Knight Bruce and Sir J. Wigram were appointed Vice- Chancellors, provides that after the death of Sir Lancelot Shadwell, the future Vice- Chancellor to be appointed under the 53d of George 111., and the Vice-Chancellors appointed under the later Act shall rank according to priority of appoint ment. It was then supposed that any Vice-Chan cellor appointed under the 53d of George 111. must necessarily be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. The resignation of Vice Chancellor Wigram did not of course affect the question, as there was an ex press clause in the Act of 5 Victoria, cap. 5, pro hibiting a re-appointment to his office upon his death or resignation. On Thursday last a petition was presented to Vice-Chancellor Rolfe, headed Vice-Chancellor of England," and Mr. Stuart, who appeared in support of the petition, submitted that the heading was perfectly correct, since any Vice- Chancellor appointed under the 531 of Geo. 111. ought to be styled Vice-Chancellor of England. His Honour said, that although he was appointed in the room of Sir Lancelot Shad well, he did not consi der himself authorised to take the title of Vice- Chancellor of England. The title was originally introduced by the desire of Lord Chancellor El don, for the purpose of lessening the dignity of the office, his own title being Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, arid when the two Vice-Chancellors were subsequently appointed, the title "of England" was adopt e d b y way o f di st i ngu i s hi ng Sir Lancelot Sbadwell, whose office was of a higher rank. There were now two reasons why he (Sir R ,bert Rolfe) con sidered himself not authorised to assume the title of Vice-Chancellor of England. One was, that by the Act of 5 Vic., cap. 5, the existing Vice-Chancellors were to rank according to priority of appointment, and consequently Sir J. Knight Bruce was the senior Vice-Chancellor; the other was, that he was not styled Vice-Chancellor of England in the patent under which he held his appointment. FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 26.—The supplies of grain and flour are again small this week, and ace more than b. 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. The 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 maderaie extent, but at prices a turn in the buyer's favour. Flour met a free de mand at quite asgood pi ices as of late. Mealing oats were scarce, and ld per bushel dearer, and oatmeal breug , t prices. Barley, beans, and pass were withot change of value. The sr condary quality of Indian coin brought a small advance. good American mixed selling pretty freely at 3Os per 4801bs, but it was difficult to ex reed 30s 6d fur the best yellow; white corn, 31s per 4801bs.

A better demand for old foreign, but very little being on board ship and gr.tnaried parcels held at high rates, but little business resulted.
