Till then we must leave him out of political considerstion, and reckon only with Louis Napoleon and the French army. The President of the French Re public has succeeded in doing what legitimate kings have attempted in vain, in annihilating parliamentary govern ment in Franca for ever. He has succeeded without any sFecial trouble in throwing the old grayheaded in • triguants and revolution-makers out of the window, or •in transferring them to his own old quarters iu IIam; he has succeeded in compelling the French army, ,throus - ,h such a War Minister es St. Arnaud, to arrest its valued and renowned leaders; he has succeeded in drtiwing Use u:iny with him into a flagrant breach of the Coas,t-ution; he has succeeded in suppressing the first resi.trince of the Reds.

THE PRINCE DE CANINO. M. Charles Bonaparte, Prince de CAnino, has com menced another action against M. d'Arlincourt, author of the pamphlet entitled " Rouge," to obtain 20,C00'. as damage,: for a libel in that work, to the effect that he was concerned in the assassina tion of Count Rossi. The case was called on for hearing on Friday before the Civil Tribunal. The advocate of M. d'Arlincourt demanded that, before the merits of the case were gone into, the plaintiff, should be required to deposit the caution-money usually exacted from foreigners; and he then proceeded to argue at great length that M. Charles 11 ,naparte is no longer a Frenchman, but an Italian. The facts he relied on were these :—After the revolution of 1848 N. C. Bonaparte did not return to France, like the res t of hi. fimiiy, but remained at Rome. He was sub sequently elected a member of the Chamber sum moned by the Pope, and could not have been chosen if he had not been an Italian. Ile was one of the chiefs of the insurrQction which as subsequently got up against the Pope; he was the first who wit-A "Long live the Roman Republic !" when the Republic was proclaimed he became a member, and subsequently vice pr:sident, of th , i Conitituent Assembly ; and when the French army attacked Rome be, by all the means in his power, exei ad the R )mans to resitance. If he had not been at; Italian, he would not have done ail that; and it r , as only as an Italian that he could be justi fied for having fired on the French troops—fur a Frenchman to have done so would have been trea son. Moreover, wh-n, some time later, M. Charles Bonaparte came to France, the Government ordered him to be expelled, and he was conducted to the frontier; none of which things could have been done if he had been a Frenchman. On that occasion M. Charles Bonaparte had written a letter to the Pre sident of the Assembly, in which he did not claim the rights of a French citizen, but demanded that he should be treated with the respect due to ambassa dors, as he was charged with a mission from the Roman Republic to the French, English, and Ameri can Governments.—M. Chain d'Est Ange, advocate of M. Bonaparte, aster complaining in rather severe terms of the conduct of M. d'Arlincourt towards him, contended that he was a Frenchman, and had never lost the rights of one. He was a Roman citizen, it was true, but so were a great number of other Frenchmen, and amongst them some members of the Assembly ; he was a Roman prince, but so was Prince de Polignac, the Minister of Charles X., and a number of other distinguished Frenchmen. The acceptance by him of the position of representative and vice-president of an Italian Assembly was not one of those acts which the French law considered as causing the loss of nationality.—The Procureur of the Republic examined the facts of the case, and sub mitted to the Tribunal that M. Charles Bonaparte had never lost his rights as a Frenchman.—Judgment was postponed.— Galignani. THE LATE EVENTS IN PARIS.

F-. M. L- and I went u pstairs, and on the landing-place met M. F-, who was just leaving his own apartment, but who re entered it with us for a few minutes. His news was as follows: it • ess soon as he learnt the astounding news of the morning he went out, and getting together _as many of the representans as he could find willing to move, the body so collected repaired to their President, M. Dupin, and invited him to come to the Chamber and declare a siance, a protestation,' and such other measures as should be deemed expedient, is order to prevent the conp d'ilat. M. Dupin responded to the call, and about 80 Members accompanied him to the Chamber, but the officer in command of the soldiers in possession refused them entrance. The deputies, however, contrived to slip in throngh sundry side doors, which bad been left accessible, and having got access to the body of the salle, M. Dupin persevered in declaring a seance,' when a company of foot soldiers was marched in, and the whole of the repre sentans forcibly exp.:lei. It is even added that some un courteous pokes of the bayonet were employed to acce lerate their process, hut of this I cannot be certain. The expelled D. posies adjourned to their habitual place of conference, the Place des Pyramides, where M. F- endeavoured to prevail with them and others, who then joined the meeting, to frame a protest, and to adopt an attitude of opposition to the illegal acts of the Pre sident. " Many,of the Members appeared to concur with F-, but M. Baroche recommended "moderation" and adjournment above all, as best adapted to the object of avoiding a conflict. The consultation ultimately broke up without the meeting coming to any resolution, except that of " waiting to see what would happen." was, when when we parted from him, going to make a fresh attempt to rally a few men of action to the defence of the Constitution, but be seemed far from sanguine in his ex pectations.' After Madame F- had related so much, she went on to tell us a few incidental circumstances con tied with the great effalr of the day. M. F- and she were at the Opera Cemiquo last evening to witness a premiere representation of a new opera, and in the loge des Minotrei there were seated no less than four of the (uneuspiciou , ) Ministers of Louis Napoleon. In a loge prices they Leheld, seated side by side all the even ing, M. do Morny and General Cbsngareier, Madame L-, the well known there amie of de Morny, making a third in the box. About eleven o'clock de Moray lett theatre and directed his steps to the residence of the Minister of the Interior, where, on finding himself in the latier'e presence, he drew forth the paper from his pocket which Nominated him Minister of the Interior, informing the astonished occupant of that post that be ens desiitue,' and that be, Moray, wis now Minister of the Interior. This was necessary in order to insure the signature of a Minister to Louis Napoteen's , proc!amation which might thus wear the outward semblance of a formal act. No one of the existing Cabinet would, it is surmised, have been base enough to endorse such a flegrant viola tion of the laws, and Louis Napoleon, therefore ' impro vised ' a creature Minister for the job over night. After ; we had heard all this, together with some iew more de salt?, not essential to relate, I went to the Post-office to put in a It tter. We then erect an hour in walking about the vicinity of the Madeleine, observing what was going fora ard. The military occupied the streets, and di rected carriages and passenger:, how to proceed; no sort of excitement prevailed, and a vague inquiring look which many of the lower classes wore was all the evi dence we recognised of interest in the matter. There were hardly any gentlefolk to be seen; the working class made the crowd, which was far from dense. We came home at four o'clock. Soon after that hour the cavalry took up their position the whole length of the Champs Elyeees for about an hour and a half, after which they were marched off, and the quartier became tranquil as usual, no sound being heard more martial than the bells of the omnibus horses as they trotted to and fro with their unwieldly machines. At eleven all was hushed; and so ended a day pregnant with disquiet and sinister auguries, which assuredly have seldom been better war ranted, for so monstrous an exercise of brute force on the part of the Executive has few parallels in history."

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. VIE ROYAL C OMMISSION. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. 6.—The Vice-Chancellor having received from her Majesty's Commissioners for inquir ing into the State, Discipline, Studies, and Revenues of the University of Cambridge a letter containing certain queries respecting the revenues of the University, and, considering the circumstances in which be is thereby placed unusual, and very deeply affecting the interests of the University, the following grace will be offered to the Senate at the Congregation on Wednesday, De- 1 cember 10:- 1. To authorize the Vice-Chancellor to answer in his own name the queries of the Royal Commissioners re specting the revenues of the University. Also, on the recommendation of the Press Syndi cate :- 2. To authorize the syndics of the press to return such answers as they may think fit to the queries ad dressed to them by the Royal Commissioners. The queries of the Royal Commissioners and the opi nion of counsel upon the Royal Commission will lie at the office of the University Registracy on Monday next, between the hours of ten A.M. and two P.M.. and on Tuesday next, between the hours of ten A.m. and twelve at noon, for the inspection of members of the Senate. Au application was made by our correspondent to be allowed to copy the questions alluded to above, for the information of the non-resident members of the Senate, but the Vice-ChaLeellor courteously declined to accede to his request. ROYAL _HUMANE SOCIETY. Yesterday morning a sermon in aid of the funds of this valuable institution was preached at St. Philip's Church, Regent-street, by the Rev. F. Heasey, the presence of B. Hawes, Esq., sen., the treasurer, and several of the supporters of the society, as also Lady Otwey, Sir T. Cochrane, &c., &c. The Rev. Gentle man took his text from 16th chapter of St. Matthew and 27th verse—" For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works." He commenced by stating that he should have occasion to appeal to the congregation on behalf of one of the noblest and most useful of the many metropolitan societies. In his opinion there was no period of the year more fitting for such an appeal as the present, fur in a short period the basins of ornamental waters in the Royal parks would probably be covered with ice, and many persons who ventured thereon would be in danger of losing their lives suddenly. There was, however, a society which had for nearly a century been actively engaged in preventing such calamities with the most sig nal success, and that was the Royal Humane Society for the recovery of persons apparently drowned stead. After alluding to the vast numbers who resorted to the Serpentine for the purpose of bathing or skating, according to the season, the Rev. Gentleman eulogised the prompt and energetic measures which the society, at considerable expense, invariably adopted to prevent accidents, in addition to those fur the restoration of suspended animation. As a proof of their great success in prevention, out of no less than 200,000 bathers this season there had been but 24 accidents, and of these, from the prompt attention and medical skill, but one fatal, while no fewer than 18 persons who had attempted suicide had been rescued. He exhorted each of the congregation to feel as though some one of those who had been saved were their nearest and best friend or relative, who might be exposed to danger, and he felt as sured they would not hesitve to contribute to their funds. But it by withholding suck support the society should be compelled to contract the sphere of its usefulness, and a single life of any friend should be thereby lost, the omission to contribute would doubtless be an endless source of regret. The eloquence of the rev. minister produced a liberal collection. DESTRUC lION OF UNION HALL. This edifice, situate on the south side of Union-street, Borough, was, late on Saturday, totally destroyed by fire. For many years it was the chief police•office for the Surrey and Southwark district, and, since the re moval of the magisterial business to the new office at Stone's-end in the Borough, the premises have been oc cupied jointly by Messrs. Pickford and Co., the railway carriers, and by Messrs. Smith and Co., hat and cap manufacturers, of Trinity-square, Southwark. The outbreak was exceedingly sudden. The clerks of Messrs. Smith were engaged in the counting-house, when they were startled by a flash of light on the oppo site side of Uion-street, and going out to ascertain the causo, they were astonished to find that their own place was on fire. So rapid was the work of destruction, that it was impossible even to save the books, and in less than a quarter of an hour the whole building was in flames. A number of engines IN ere quickly on the spot, but it was some time before a supply of water could be procured. The firemen succeeded in preventing an ex tension of the flames, but all effects to save the Union Hall proved abortive, and it was completely consumed by eleven o'clock. The following is Mr Braid wood's report : `• Union-street, Borough—Messrs. J. Smith and Co., cap-manufacturers, front warehouse burnt out, back workshop seriously damaged, and three-fourths of the roof off. Cause of the fire not known. Insured for the contents in the Atlas, the Hand-in-Hand, and the Sun fire •offices. " Ditto, Messrs.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND NOR- CESTERSHIRE JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Westminster, on Saturday, Mr. Alston in chair. The hour appointed for the meeting was twelve o'clock, but a considerable time passed before a quorum of six shareholders was formed. The CHAIRMAN proposed, as they were barely in legal number, to take biul p 1 y the business essential for carrying on the affairs of the company, and to adjourn all other matters to a future day. The seal of :the company was then affixed to the register of shareholders, and the report, of which the. following is an abstract, was then read : At the last half-yearly meeting the shareholders t a h ss a ured by the board that they were in expecta solioitor, would tion e bala t ne the measures taken to obtain payment of the 0f2,6231. 15s. 2d., due from the late efforts used, soon be realised.

These most important objects can be effected at a comparatively small ex• pease, whilst they must in the result restore the pro perty of the proprietors to a valuable position, and ulti mately ensure for the agricultural, minera l, and ma nu facturing interests in the vicinity the most extensive ads antages.

Ma. iIIOOTLETON.—" I work very bard, uncommon hard. It's necessary, my boy, I can tell you, if you want to make a figure, at leist. my friends tell me so. You see I've travelled a good deal, and when one has travelled, one speaks with confidence about things. My work is this. In the morning I take a map of one of the countries I've seen, we'll say Italy. Well, I take the news papers and read all the foreign correspondence about that country, finding the places in the map. Then I make a note of what has been doing there, and Igo to the House. As soon as I see the foreign secretary in his place, .1 get up and ask him if be has any official intelligence' that a donkey, with the Pope's arms tied to his tail, was seen near the door of the English Envoy at Florence, and whether such symp toms implied that we were going to send a fleet to coerce the Vatican. Or I ask him if he has any official intelligence' that. an English miashipman had a rotten orange flung at him in Madrid, and, if so, what steps he means to take to vindicate the honour of the British a ig. If the secretary is in a good tem per he usually says No,' and there's an end. Some times, however, he gives me a wipe, and says that the only official intelligence that he has had about v donkey was the notice that he was going to have a question from one. And one day he had' me ; for in answer to a question from me about the Two Sicilies, be asked me to tell the house where the second Sicily was. I didn't know what to say, and there was such a roar. 6o you see we have to work hard at geography, as well as other matters.

How a child's caul is frequently offered. How Bank of England notes are often pawned for secu rity's sake, especially by hop-pickers, who have no settled home. How gamblers have a superstitious idea that pawnbrokers' money is lucky, and therefore pawn bank-notes in order to get pawnbrokers' cash to play with. How a 1,0001. note was once pawned by a gambler at a shop near Charing-eross. Fur ther, how a German nobleman took to a pawn broker at the west end of London, only three years ago, his wife's patent of Spanish nobility. How the whole stock of an apothecary's shop, includ ing pills, perfumery, draughts, bottles, ointments, counters, desks, pestles, mortars, scales, and infinite simal weights, were once pawned, and remained unredeemed for two years, when it was taken out to be started in business in a fashionabls neighbourhood. How there have been included among pawnbrokers' pledges such extraordi nary articles as an immense dancing-booth, well known at fairs and races; live parrots, seve ral hundredweights of human hair, a travelling carriage complete, a horse and chaise, and some 12,000/. worth (from one place in one year) of ma nufactured silk. How 1,000/. was not long since lent on Manchester goods, which it took My Uncle and assistants four days to examine. But most of these loans were not strictly pawnbroking transactions, being beyond the limits set by the pawnbroking Act of Parliament, and being effected under private agreement. Likewise how My , Uncle, besides the ordinary risks of his calling, ocac sionally suffers from mistakes, not of his own com mission, as in the following case. One Saturday night a clergyman of the Church of England, having been dining with a friend (which phrase we use in a per fectly innocent and literal sense), found himself walking home in a heavy rain with no money in his pocket, and no one at his chambers of whom to borrow any when he got home. In this difficulty he stepped into My Uncle's, and there deposited his great coat. About a month afterwards he called to redeem it; but, on its being produced, most positively denied that that coat was his. Being a gentleman of undoubted re spectability, his assurance was readily believed ; some unaccountable mistake was supposed to have arisen at My Uncle's, and he received a full and proper compensation for his loss. Within a short time afterwards two gentlemen called upon My Uncle to remind him of the circumstance, to repay the money, and to inform him that it had since trans pired that the clergyman (then dead) had taken from bii friend's house a coat that was not his own, and had never discovered his error.—Dickens's Sousa hold Words. ASSAULT UP 4A. CORONER'S OFFICER AND JURY.— Friday evening Mr. Wakley, M.P., empannelled a jury at the Southampton Arms, Bath-place, New-road, to inquire into the death of Joseph White, aged five months, who it was alleged had been murdered. Mr. Davies, the coroner's constable, accompanied by the jury, proceeded to view the body, which lay at 2.3, Fitzroy-row, a dirty, low locality, the retreat of a wicked class, including men, women, and boys, who are the terror of the neighbourhood. As soon as the officer and jury entered the row they were abused and hooted by a body of women and boys, who, as the jury ap proached the house where the corpse lay, commenced jostling and pelting them with stones. The jury with the greatest difficulty gained the house, and had just entered the room to view the body when the mob attempted to force open the door with sticks and missiles. The constable went out to quiet them, when he was met with groans and yells, and one of the most determined ruffians rushed at the officer and commenced kicking him, whereupon the latter seized him, but he was speedily rescued. Upon this, Mr. Davis, with the assistance of two jurors, seized another ringleader, and succeeded in conveying him to the New-road, where the women assailed the officer with such ferocity that he was jury c v,iN ‘ o ,e m orue i I ) t e dni l i o le eht d ac avo t rer o ro eungs undoubtedly redd e oe, ux u fbpo p trree d t sh h is yae e dd e p otd r mh i e s eem o yp n i e tbr t r. eeegednr e U ttbh p rt eohomuan brought t h h t ttoeh before prison o u i asr r oes n e inba o ii fnl f oas t rn h ht e aes lengthened period.

She left the Cape on the 13th of Octol ler, in company of the Sidon, and Ascension, 7th ult., in com pany of the Siden and Cyclops. Soon after ar Captain Warden landed with dispatches from Sir Harry Smith, which are said to be of a disheartening charac ter, as, for want of troops, Sir Harry is obliged 'to act on the defensive only, while the cattle and horses. are being carried off in every direction by the Kafirs. The Flying Fish, 12, Commander George F. P'atey, that arrived, from the Coast, at Plymouth, on Thur sday, arrived at Spithead this morning, having come up for the purpose of being paid off at this port. She will pasha bly come into harbour to-morrow. The Cyclops steam-frigate left Ascension on the 6th of November, the day after the Flying Fish. The Retribution and Cyclops kept company till the '2oth, when the former put in at St. Vincent's to coal., the Cyclops making for Madeira for the like purpose. The Sidon joined the Retribution at St. Vincent's, and they left in company on the 21st. On the passage those, two vessels tried rates of sailing, when the former sh c wed a marked superiority; they then tried under steam, with a similar result. The Retribution has about 20 invalids on board, from the Cape and Coast squadrons. The Sidon has a large number, whom the Sprightly steam tender, Mr. George Allen, Master-Commanding, has transhipped and conveyed to the flag-ship and Hasler naval hospital. Lieutenant John Gwynue, invalided I from the Tortoise, at Ascension, died on board. the Retribution on the 10th ult., at sea. Captain Hutton, late Governor of Ascension, being relieved by Captain Kitchen, has come home in the Retribution. The Cyclops has a large mail from the Cape, but will bring no news when she arrives, the Essex East Indiaman having fore stalled the whole of the powerful naval steam squt teiron. Fever was very prevalent among the Cape Verd Israinris, and deaths numerous. Lieutenant C. 0. B. Hall, Isle of the Firefly, at id Mr. Becket, purser of the Archer, have come home in these vessels. A Turkish officer from the Harlequin has also come home invalided. The following appointments had taken place in the squadron on the Coast of Africa: — Lieutenant Graham, from the Prometheus, to be. First of the Waterwitcb, vice Elliot. Lieutenant Saumarez, from the Penelope (flag), to the Prometheus, vice Graham. Second, Master Norman, from the Penelope, to be Acting Master of the Niger, vice Forster, invalided. Second Master Ward, of the Sampson, in oharge to the Jackal!, vice Yeatman, sent to Ascension Hospital. The Birkenhead, iron steam transport, Master Com mander Salmond, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Sheerness, having on board Commander Dickson and 350 officers and men, transferred from the Waterloo to the Britannia. These persons will remain on board the steamer till Thursday, when they will join the Bri tannia. This ship has her proper lower masts and bow sprit in, and she has got down and returned to the dockyard her jury topmasts and topsail yards. She will be brought into duck to.morrow, and probably come out again on Wednesday or Thursday. Captain Goldsmith has commissioned the Britannia, and Captain Yates, from Britannia, has commissioned the Neptune. The St. Vincent, 102, fitted for an entire new arma ment on her weather-deok, will not come out of dock till the 24th, on account of painting, being under one of the covered docks, The Powerful, 84, is ordered to be brought down and examined—she will be docked when the St.Viucent comes out. The Powerful will, it is said, be brought forward to relieve the Hastings, flag-ship, in the East Indies. The Edinburgh, 58, screw block-ship, has been taken into the steam-basin, and is ordered to be brought for ward for service immediately. The Rodney, 92, has received her ship's company, and hauled off on Friday from her hulk to the moorings off Gosport. The Leopard steam-frigate, advanced, was taken out of the old basin on Saturday, to mooring up the harbour. DEVONPORT, DEC. s.—The Aboukir freight-ship, has left Deptford for Woolwich, and will call at Cowes, Portsmouth, Portland, and Plymouth, for male convicts, and convey them to Van Dieman's Lend. The Scout is to be broken up. The Flying Fish and Fly arrived last night, the former from the coast of Africa, and the latter from New Zea land, which she left on the 29th August. The Fly has brought home some of the crew of the Acheron; the re mainder are on board the Havannah. The Flying Fish landed her mails this morning, and both vessels are now waiting orders. The Havannah is to be paid off at this port. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, DEC. 6.—Surgeons—James Taylor (1836) to the Tortoise, 12, storeship at the Island of Ascension; Lce.

Dundas, C. 8., one of the present representatives, who will accept the Chiltern Hundreds on his appointment to be Com mander-in-Chief on the Mediterranean station. Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Merry weather Turner are already candidates, and have addressed the electors. Mr. PAYNTER .aid he should remand the prisoner for a week. He would accept two sureties in 1001. each, for the appearance of the pris(mcr Reynolds on the next examination. He should require twenty-hours' notice of bail. The prisoners were then removed. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BRISTOL, SATURDAY EVENING.— A considerable amount of interest has been excited here to-day, in con sequence of the apprehension by the detective police of a young man named Isaac Powell, who is understood to be very respectably connected, upon a charge of having robbed to a large extent the house of Candy and Hag gar, an extensive wholesale silk mercery firm, to which he was an articled assistant. The prisoner was brought before the magistrates this day upon the charge, Mr. William Bevan attending to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Ayre, of the firm of Ayre and Calder, appearing for the prisoner. It appeared from the examinations, which were very voluminous, that Messrs. Candy and Bagger had for some time been dissatisfied with the proceedings of the young man, although at first they did not suspect him of anything more serious than irregularity and inatten tion. At length, however, they were induced to entertain suspicions of a more serious nture, and upon the police authorities being applini to upon the subject, Police-sergeant Sueaners, of the detective force, was despatched to search his apartments, at the house of his father, who lived retired, at Hanharn, in Gloucestershire. Upon his dressing table the sergeant found a valuable piece of French satin, mea,uring eleven or twelve yards, which Messrs. C. and H. were enabled to speak to us having been in their stock so re cently as November last. while in several boxes and trunks i❑ the same room, the keys of which were ob tained from the prisoner, was discovered a vast amount of property, consisting. of shawls, silks, handkerchief,, &c., amounting in value to at least 501, All these things were of a description precisely corresponding with Messrs. Candy and lelaggar's stock, and there was lay sides other property of considerable value, which they suspected had been purloined from them, hut to which they were not enabled to speak so decidedly. Mr. Ayre cross-examined the wieness closely in the endeavour to make it appear that the property in ques tion might have been sold by the firm, but their answers showed a system of business which rendered ,it iaspossi ; ble that such could have been the case without an entry of the sale appearing in the boolo. The Nl3gisirates said they considered that a whole sale robbery had been made out, and they committed the prisoner for trial. The court was densely crowded throughout the inves tigation.

They returned in the even ing, and, when passing the bar, the landlady remarked that he (the deceased) was very unwell, and hoped that he would take care of himself. Deceased replied he would. His son preceded him a few yards upstairs, and in a moment the loud report of a gun was heard. The unfortunate gamekeeper staggered downstairs into the arms of one of the domestics a corpse. The contents of the fowlingpiece had entered the abdomen. The bowels were literally torn out. The body presented a frightful appearance, and medical assistance was instantly on the spot, but no aid could be rendered, as the unfortunate man died immediately. The spectacle was of the most shocking description. The deceased's clothes were on fire, and worse consequences were apprehended. It is a most fortunate matter that the son of the deceased es caped, as he was a few yards in advance of his father when the piece discharged itself. Mrs. Charlton was in the room adjoining at the time of the accident. It ap pears that on their way home the deceased took in pieces the gun, giving the stock to his son and putting the bar rel in his own pockets, the percussion caps being allowed to remain on the nipples.

Price. with having in their possession a large quantity of coun terfeit money, consisting of shillings and sixpences, to gather with plaster of Paris moulds used for the purpose of coining. Policeman Watson, 131 M, stated that from informa tion he received he went on Friday, the 28th ultimo, to the house No. 5, Paradise-row, Gravel-lane, and in a room on the ground-floor found both the prisoners. The • prisoner Russell, who sat near the fire-place, immedi ately threw something from her lap into the grate, and afterwards conveyed several counterfeit sixpences into her mouth, which she attempted to swallow, but was prevented by his seizing her by the throat. The other ice. prisoner attempted to destroy the contents of two quart bottles on the table, but was also prevented by another constable, and on subsequent examination of their con tents they were found to be nearly filled with a liquid used for giving a silvery appearance to such coin as that found in their possession. On searching the water-closet 135 counterfeit sixpences were discovered concealed in the rafters, together with plaster of Paris moulds, which seemed to have been very recently in use. When Freeman was told that he must go to the station-house, he exclaimed, " So help me God, if you had come an hour before or an hour after, you would have us to rights," meaning by that expres sion that they (the prisoners) would have been captured in the very act of coining. A clerk from the office of the solicitor of the Mint stated that both the prisoners were known, and that they were tried;together a few sessions ago for a similar offence. When the prisoners were asked if they wished to put any questions to the witnesses, or to say anything in their defence, Freeman said, in a surly tone, that it would be useless for him to interrogate eitner of the policemen, for he „ knew that he could not exact the truth from them. He added, that he and his fellow-prisoner would have a % 16 good answer to the charge when befor e the j ud g e, and that they should, therefore, reserve what they had to say until their trial. The prisoners were then committed. HAMMERSMITH. Elizabeth Weir, alias Olivia Davidson, a stylishly dressed young female, a Henry Reynolds, aged 23 years, who described himself as a horse dealer, were brought before Mr. Paynter on remand, charged with uttering forged notes of the Bank of England. Mr. James Hunt, a linen-draper of the Broadway, Hammersmith, deposed that on Friday afternoon week, shortly after the gas had been lighted, the female pri soner entered his shop, and purchased goods to the amount of 7s. 6d. of one of the shopwomen. The pri soner tendered in payment what seemed a Bank of Eng land note for 51, and on its being handed to witness fur change be immediately discovered it to be a forged one. Witness spoke to the prisoner, and said, as she appeared respectable, she would have no objection to give her ad dress. She replied that she had not, and said she lived atNo. 2, Latymer- place , Hammersmith.:Witness:detained the forged note, and said he would send the goods home with the prisoner by one of his shopmen, with change for a sovereign, and she could then pay him. The pri soner agreed to that proposition, and after they had left the shop witness followed them. The prisoner, after walking some distance, suddenly stopped, and told the shopman he had better bring the goods home in the evening, as she would not then be able to pay him when she reached her residence. Wit ness then stepped up, and accused her with having giving a false address. She replied, after some hesita tion, that she had, and that her residence was in London. She was then given into custody, and stated that her name was Olivia Davidson, but afterwards said that her true name was Weir. She also said that she would not have done it, but that she was starving. Police-constable Hitohman, an active officer of the T division, apprehended the male prisoner on the following Saturday, in Lower Chelsea, in consequence of what the female prisoner said to him. He ascertained that both prisoners resided at No. 24, Lower Sloane-street, Chel sea, and that the female cohabited with a!notorious horse oouper. Mr. Charles Powell was then examined, and he stated that he was in the employ of Messrs. Holmes and Co., drapers, &c., No. 73, Regent -street. On the 30th of June last the female prisoner entered the shop, and pur chased a shawl for two guineas. She tendered what seemed to be a 101. Bank of England note in payment. Witness said he did not like the appearance of the note, and asked her if she had sufficient money with her to pay for the shawl, without changing the note. The prisoner said she had not, and witness then gave the note to the clerk, John Bell, and the prisoner received the change, after she had given her address, No. 14, Wil mington-square jerkenwell , and stated her name to be Mrs. Smith. The note was handed to Mr. Holmes, and he detected it to be a forgery. Witness went the next day to the address given by the; prisoner, and found the house to be unoccupied. He had not seen the prisoner since, until he saw her in the police-cell. In cross-examination by Mr. Gillham, witness said he was quite positive the female prisoner was the person. She was in the shop twenty minutes, and he had ample opportweiaies Of seeing her face. THE COUNTRY MARKETS, LIVERPOOL, DEC. 6.—A good trade to day, at very full prices. MANCHESTER, DEC. 6.—The flour trade since our last report, has been characterised by considerable firmness, and, in some few instances, for favourite brands, slightly enhanced rates have been realized; but on the whole there has been a reluctance on the part of dealers and bakers to purchase freely, and the tales effected were therefore by no means extensive. Oatmeal has continued to meet a good demand at fully previous rates. Of malt coastwise, and oats and owmeal from Ireland, the ar rivals at Liverpool and Runcorn are to a fair amount, but limited of other articles; and from abroad the im ports are this week only on a very moderate scale. At our market this morning the beg runs of wheat and the most approved marks of flour were held for rather higher rates, other descriptions remaining steads , in value; the demand was, however, only moderate. In oats and ow.- meal no change was observable. At Witham wheat and white pens wore each is arer, barley, especially all below first rate quality, was is cheaper. At Sudbury, OR Thursday, wheat improved Is; barley declined in price to the same amount. In the other markets of Suffolk there has also been an improvement. At Ipswich, though there was a very large supply, wheat realized is per quarter more than last week. At Bury wheat was taken off freely at the same ad vance; new malt commanded a better price. At Woodbridge the farmers, though offered Is more for wheat, declined to sell at these rates; white peas commanded higher rates, but barley, although generally of good quality, was cheaper. On Thursday, ut Stowmarket, there was an abundant show of barley; wheat well maintained its value. At Stourbridge market on Friday wheat was held firm at last week's rates. In barley less business was doing, and sales were effected at a decline of Is per quarter. Beans and peas also dull, and rather lower prices submitted to. Oats in fair request at former rates. The average price of wheat must be quoted at about 11 18s 9d per quarter. NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 6.—At Derby, yesterday, there was a full market both for wheat and barley, and late rates were in both articles fully maintained. No change in other things. Wheat, red, 33s to 38s per 36 stone ; ditto, white, 40s to 44 5; ditto, old, 40s to 445. Barley, malting, 24s to 283 per imperial measure; grinding, 24s to 25s per 30 stone. Oats, old, 223 to 26s per 24 stone; ditto, new, 18s to 21s. Beans, old, 36s to 39s per 38 stone; ditto, new, 31s to 345. Flour, fine, 27s to 288; superfine, 30s to 31s per 20 stone. At Newark, on Wednesday, there was a good att,!ndance and a plen tiful supply of all kinds of grain. Business was active, very large quantities changing hands at a steady ad herence to the prices of last week. Wheat, white 41s to 445; red, 363 to 40.1. Barley, making, 27s to 303; grind 203 to 223. Oats 17s to 275; beans, 281 to 342. Prices also were firm or slightly on the rise at Lincoln, Grantham, Retford, Worksop, and Mansfield. We had a fair supply of wheat and barley at our market to-day; fine red wheat obtained an advance of is per quarter, secondary sorts kept the prices of last week. The best samples of barley were in demand, but we cannot quote any dearer. In oats and beans there was no alteration. At Stratford-on-Avon, on Friday, there was a good attendance, with a good supply of wheat from the farmers. Trade ruled firm, at our last quotations. Bed wheat, 13s 9d to 14s 3d; white, 14a 9d to 15s 3d, best samples. The barley trade was flat, and a reduction of Is per quarter was the result, with a short supply. Best samples, from 24s to 26d per quarter. Beans were also lower—full 6s per bag; old ones, 12s 6d per bag; new ditto, lOs 6d. In oats no alteration. White boiling peas from 12s to 13s per bag.
