THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. HARMER. Id this case, which was tried at the sittings after las Trinity Term, at Westminster, before Lord Campbel mud a special jury, the jury awarded a shilling damages to the 'plaintiff for an alleged libel, which appeared in this journal about a year ago. The circumstances of the case wiii be fresh in the recollection of car readers. The- Duke of Brunswick applied to the Court in per son, this morning, for a rule, calling upon the defendant to -thaw cause why the verdict should not be set aside and anew trial had. The grounds on which his High nun hive.' this applicatifen, sa divulged in a long discur siv statement, which he addressed to the Court were, fir;t,'' the insufficieney - of the damages, which, he contended, ;,were wholly inadequate for such a libel; secondly, misdirection by the Learned Judge who Vied the case; thirdly, an improper permission given to the defendant's ccanssl to read a certain paragraph in tee alleged libel, which was not in issue; and fourthly, the rejection of a witness called by the plaintiff.' Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said he was of opinion that there' ought to be not nib grantHl in this case. Sad 14tened With' some attention to the sta.teatCrit addressed the plaintiff to the Court, and he hael had seize difficultyis understaadieg the grournis on wbi„:h - the applicatio; )v, s, so cs,ll. , :e4thi, boa.- ever, that these grounde • were fleet the rsjecan OZ • a witness called for a certain purpose, and secondly, per. raassiem e given to th - e counsel on the part of the defen dant to read a certain paragraph which had now been stated to the Court. With regard to the last of those grounds, it appeared that an objection had "Rea taken by the plaihtiff to the paragraph in qaestion being read, ly7csi4Se the rrnttc-r etyr.taineti in it arms not in issue. The defendant said that it was on tit':. record ; and if that was se,..bisc , :;un4el had a perf2cf, to make what use he liked of if. It was e'aber en, or it was not on the record. It appeared at the trial to Itavo been taken ou the state ra;'nt of t.a'eounsel as leicg on the record; and there fore .the, Latarnsd Judge conA only deal with it se. Wlith regard to the rejection of the evidence it was stated ist Lida way-5 passage, to which the atteati )n of the Gnat bad been called, recomtnended the plaintif f , in terra'', unless he was ii . libitous of notoriety, "to with titem into his own natural and sinister obscurity," the word natural being put iditalicen The plaintiff proposed to call a witness for thp purpose of stating what in hie opinion was- the . meaning to be at:ached to the word " natural" so used in that sen tence, ha!, the Learned Jade.) refused to allow the evidence to be given; and in his (Ir. Justice Cole ri4ge4) opinion, the ..earned Judge did perfectly right, beCause it was a thing for the jury, on a consideration of all the circumstances -and the evidence in the case, to determine whether it~ had its natural meaning, or that some other was 'to .he attached to it. On those grounds, stated 'thus shortly, there seemed to him to be no foundation for granting this rule. It was naldrnl'eneugh for the Learned Judge who tried the case, anal hoe was perfectly at liberty to gine such assistance to the jury as he thought proper on any part of the case, leayitg it, however, to them al ways to draw their wars inference. Mr. Justice Wrnerrideser and Mr. Justice ERLE both said they were entirely of the same opinion. -Lord CAMPBELL said, ha retained the same opinion that ha expressed at the trial of this case. It was for the jiwy to say what was the meaning of the passage in ques tibP, : and they were not to be influenced in such a case by the stattmeat of any witness that might he cal'ecl. The plaintiff heel said that he (Lord Campbell) intimated an opinion as to what was the just meaning of the sentence that had been referred to. He (Lord Campbell) stated to the jury that he himself should have read that paragraph without at all putting the cpstrue!ion upon it that the plaintiff contended for; bat he (Local Campbell) :t in the most express terms feet it was for the jury to say what Wils the proper mean ing to be put upon it. With regard to the amount of da mages, it was for the jury to say in what. respect the plain tiff had suffered,and whether they believed he had brought his action for the purpose of justifying his character, or merely fa the sake of notoriety or vexation. He (Lord Campbell) concurred with the rest of tho Court that there ought to be no rule. Rule refused accordingly. BEVERLEY MITNICIVAL ELECTION. The Tories durst now show fight—six Liberals are elected without opposition. The council now consists of twenty-one Liberals, two Tories, and one nondescript. The three latter will be relieved from their arduous tlutigs next year. SPAIN. The Governor cf Cadiz, who some time since ar rested Lieutenant Rainer, an Admiralty agent belong- ' ing to a Peninsular mail packet, has been dismissed by the Spanish autberitieS, and the particulars of his misconduct entered on the archives of Cadiz as a warning to future governers. The captain of the ship who fired at the' Thiria, another Peninsular mail pacliet, a few months age, has been discovered. He turns out to be the master of a trader to a garia costa. His excuse for ,his co,piluct to the Spanish authorities is ludicrous from its impudence and ignorance. The principal reasons for his firing were that he fancied that the laeria,Was! performing very suspicious ing.= nceuvres, that one of his lookout men thought he dis covered: R number of suspicious-looking bates!of tner;• chandiie: en the deck' Of the Iberia, and . also that he had hnri,that a numher of vessels had left the port(?) ,Of :Atinehester wi . tli'&4'clean tilts of health.' .4ENIVIARTet 'AXD THE DUCHIES The following is e i pepy of. a dispatch from Lreut.- •.

TROUNCER.—This horse has been trained since his return to England by Stevens, of Ilsloy, and not by Cleary, who, we hear, does not take charge of Mr. Cumba's horses until after the close of the racing season. ance. A heavy cutting continues the line to the largest tunnel, which extends for a mile and a quarter through a red sand-stone rock. The entrance to the tunnel on the Chester side is very elaborate. It runs under the estates of Sir Arthur Acton, late ambassa dor at Madrid, and Sir Richard Brooke, of Norton Priory. The Chester entrance is built into a castel lated arch, with turrets and embrasures, and is sur mounted by the arms of Sir Arthur Acton. The Warrington entrance, though not so elaborate, is still striking, and this is also surmounted with a coat of arms—those of Sir R. Brooke. /merging from this tunnel the line passes Preston Brook and Moore, and after traversing a country similar to that already described, enters the London and North-Western Railway about half-a-mile from Warrington. The works have been constructed by Messrs. T. Brassey and Co. The banquet to celebrate the opening took place at the large hotel adjoining the Birkenhead station shortly after three o'clock, Mr. Alderman Bancroft in the chair, supported by Mr. Tollemache, IMP., Mr. Brown ' M.P., Mr. Duncuft, M.P., Mr. Jackson , M. P., Mr. H. T. Hope, M.P., and the Mayors of Man chester and Chester, with several members of the respective corporations, the directors of the com pany, and other gentlemen. There were also pre sentathe corporation of Liverpool, the :Birkenhead Dock Commissioners, and the High Sheriff and magistrates of the county ; comprising altogether nearly 300 gentlemen. The cloth having been removed, and after the usual loyal toasts, The Cuarnatax, in proposing " Prosperity to the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Railway," al luded at some length to the magnitude of the works at Birkenhead, and to the great local and national be nefits their completion was calculated to confer. It was at all times the wish and disposition of the direc tors to work in harmony with all the lines in alliance with the Birkenhead, Lancashire, an d Cheshire line —(Cheers)—and to give the fullest accommodation now that their system of railway might be said to be completed, to the requirements of the district. — (Cheers.) He glanced at the present and future pros pect of Birhenhead and its interests as identified with the commerce of the Mersey and the near manufac turing districts, and pointed out in a pleasing way the facility the newly-opened line of communication would afford between Cheshire, Shropshire, Hereford ; shire, and Wales. The other toasts of the evening were—" The Com missions of Birkenhead," " the Dock Interests of Birkenhead," " the Railway Companies in connexion with the Line," " the Chairman and Directors," " the Commerce of the Mersey , " " Manchester and the Manufacturing Districts," " the Engineer and other Officers of the Company," and " Mesas. Bras sey, the Contractors." ° The Liverpool baud, and Messrs. Riall and other vocalists, enlivened the entertainments; and, shortly before eight o'clock, a heavily-laden train, with a large portion of the company, left, Birkenhead on their re turn to Manchester, Chester, and other towns. The day was observed az a general holiday at Birkenhead and at all the other placea on the railway. • Since the Confederation has undertaken the settle- I ment of the controversy, the Regency may rest assured that every right appertaining to the Confederation or any of its members, will be fully protected and cared for by an organ that represents the aggregate of the Germanic Confederation. The Regency will, therefore see what a heavy responsibility it will draw upon itself by continuing the war, when a fortunate or an unfortu nate result of an appeal to arms can contribute equally little to the final decision of the controversy. Ills Ma jesty's Government confidently trusts that the "regency will not relinquish its object of coming to a right under standing with its sovereign, and will see that the resto ration of peace is a necessary pre-requisite of such an understanding. " These considerations for the real interests of the. Duchies have induced his Majesty's Government to express the following desires to the regency " 1. That out of respect for the actual position of affairs, and the ratification of the peace, it will abstain from all aggressive operations. "2. That it will declare its readiness to agree to an armistice, under conditions to be hereafte. specified in detail. " His Majesty's Government, animated by a lively wish to put an end as scow as possible to those lamen table hostilities, hereby offers its mediation. Major- General von Hahn, is therefore authorised in the event of, the Regency being ready to accept of his offer—which his Majesty's Government cannot doubt will be the case—to proceed immediately to the Danish head-quar ters, and make overtures to the general in command there. " With a vitv to accelerate arrangements as much as possible, his Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen will be instructed to make a simultaneous application there for an armistice, and to urge the Danish Government to empower their commander-in-chief to conclude an ar mistice on equitable terms." A meeting was held at Kiel, on the 24th ult., which was attended by all the prelates and landed proprie tors. A declaration was agreed upon, in which the following passage occurs : " The prelates and landed proprietors aro convinced that is the present state of European affairs the quarrel with. Denmark cannot be decided by the sword ; that, furthermore, the continued shedding of blood is as baa barous as it is useless; and they are, therefore, induced boldly and publicly to declare their desire for peace. They appeal to the feeling of the ruler of the land, to the justice of the German Governments, and to the wis dom of the grest Powers, for the speedy realisation of this desire, so advantageous to both countries." On the evening of the same ley the nobles had a meetirrn and gave their adhesion to this declaration, with the presupposition that It was self-evident that any•pbace which did not secure the ancient privileges of the duchies, and especially that of their union, could not be termed a highly advantageous peace. The Hamburvh Borsenhalle of the 29th ult. says— "We are iniorused that General Hahn is gone to Holstein for the purpose of treating fur an armistice of six months' duration. The Schleswig-Holsteiners are averse to this, inasmuch as they consider that it would be throwing away the advantageous chance offered by rt winter campaign, and, in fact, be a virtual disbanding of the army and giving up the cause, for that no ono would deem the recommencement of hostilities iu the spring, Or tho third time, a matter in anywise feasible." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Br IiKENHE XD, LANCASHIRE, AND CIiESHIRE OPENING OF THE EXTENSION LINE. On Thursday, the extension line of this railwny from Chester to Walton, where it joins the London and North-Western Railway, which continues the traffic throughout to Manchester, was publicly opened. A local parer gives the follow ing description of the new extension line : Having had an opportunity of inspecting some portion •of this line, we are enabled to lay before our readers an account of it. The new line from Chester to Manchester will be about twenty miles in length. This extension will commence at Chester, and will run into the London and North-Western Railway near to Warrington, from whence the trains will be continued on to ikinchester. By this arrange ment _ the present .circuit through Crewe will be avoided, and though the line will not be what is strictly called direct, it will materially eborten the distance, and afford the means of transit fur goods to and from Birkenhead and Manchester, as well as connect the latter place with the whole of the princi pality by railway accommodation. The value of this line to Birkenhead will he incal culable, as it will afford the means of transferring, the raw material, from, the ship's side to the manufac turer, and also of returning manufactured goods to the vessel for export. The first sod of this line was cut by Sir Richard Brooke. of Norton Priory, some years ago, at Norton, near Preston Brock, but being a novice, he cut one sod only, and wheeled it to the appointed place. In coming beck, however, instead of drawing the barrow behind him, he turned it round and wheeled it before him. Mr. Rendell, the engineer, remarked, when this was done, that the line would be completed in three years, but a navvy, who was standing by, said, in an undertone, " Then they must fill their harrows a great deal better than Sir Richard Brooke did." During the last twelve months, hosvever, there has been an ant • pulse given to the works, which has resulted in their almost entire completion, and in a short time we hope to be able to announce the opening of this line for traffic. The new line, as we have stated, commenc es at Chester, and after running a short distance on the Crewe branch, diverges to the left through a cutting. Shortly after entering the extension, Beeston Castle opens to view on the right, and the line proceeds on an embankment for about a mile and three-quarters, passing by Trafford and Plemstall. In its course through the meadows—fur here the meadows are widely spread on both sides cf the line—it crosses the river Gowy several times, which undulates through the land like a thread of silver, and which, to some extent, reminds us of Horace Walpole's description of Strawberry-hill— " A small Euphrates through the piece is rolled, And shining fishes wave their wings of gold." Here, and indeed for the whole course of the line, it is remarkably straight, the curves b ein g few in the extreme. The railway here has a bridge, through which the turnpike road from Chester to Warrington passes. Dunham-on-the-Hill comes next in order on the right. To this point the road has, for the main part, been running through the Earl of Shrewsbury's estate, which it has traversed for a distance of five miles. Helsby-hill becomes the object of attraction when we have passed the place just named. This bill is well known from the peculiar contour of its outline which resembles the human face when see n from a distance, and such visitors to Cheater as have ascended .the towers of the city walls will remember that the men who there "keeps watch and ward" offers a telescope to the curious, through which the face of this same hill, if we may so speak, is to he seen, presenting some thing more than an approximation to the human countenance. We next arrive at Dunham, where is a station. The stations on the line will be Chester, Dunham, Frofishana, Norton, Moore, and Warrington. It may be observed that this branch does not pass through a thickly populated country. Its local traffic, there fore, will lie chiefly in agricultural produce, and will not be very great. The value of the line will consist in its bearing upon Manchester, Chester, Wales, and Birkenhead. And as it will bring these places into proximity to each other, it will also have a further advantage for Manchester by affording a route to Dublin, by the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which may reasonably expect to realise advantages from the opening of the line. What is called the Helsby-bog occurs immediately in this neighbourhood, and here it has been necessary to make solid earth instead of the alluvial deposit constituting the bog. The line runs through this • bog about a mile , and it has been necessary to drive piles for a foundation, which in some parts have been driven to a depth of from thirty to forty feet, and then the road has been made gcod by a super structure of stone, being filled on the foundation. Ince village is passed shortly after leaving the Dunham station. And here the line skirts the foot of Helsby-hill, the road running on an embankment. A neat iron girder bridge, of three arches, crosses the line here, supported on ashlar stone columns. The bridges on the line generally are of stone, mingled with fire-brick, which has been much introduced into the arching of them. They are all of beautiful work manship, being models of neatness in designs and ap pearance. We have here also a fine view of the Mersey as it opens into its wide basin near Runcorn, and the Lan cashire shore bounding the prospect in the extreme left'.; The country is prettily wooded in this locality. The lire passes through several important estates, and the:plantingitTwhat we should expect in an English landscape--eilet - a dense forest, but clusters of trees with - operiangeVlstas. • The village of Overton and its i l Church are ileity*n on the tight, and close to the line. ' Judging ef the former place by its appearance from the railway; we 'shoed tall it a lovely spot. It lies at e the foot. tf, a - hill, Or ' 'perhaps it would be better to say it is - situate in the basin of a hill. It is very quiet, very rural, and sufficiently surrounded by trees, to be like an impersonation of modesty, something shown, but more concealed. The church is not in the' village but a little nearer Frodsham. It is more elevated in position. The walls are grey under the ' - weight of years ; and the long footpath through the fields trodden by nume rous worshippers, the quiet solemnity of the edifice, and the general aspect of the scenery, mark this church out as one of ,those localities where a men might "look through nature up to nature's God," and feel that the place, inspired him with an irrepres sible Spirit of veneration. On the day we passed by this scene everything invited to pleasant thoughts — an unusually prolonged autumn tinged with approach ing winter, and, though the letter would have the ul timate mastery, the' former had not yielded all its glories, and, - as it • let fall its leafy honours, it still maintained the contest with' a plenitude of strength. Our next point is the town of Frodsham, through which the rail Way runs. This is a place of little in terest in itself; but' at the moment we write this (for we write in Frodsham) it is unusually brisk, several weddings having taken piece in - the town between the workers on the line and the fair maids cf Cheshire ; and troops of navvies are singing nuptial songs under our window to serenade the candidates for connubial bliss, and also to give a little amusement to " Bene dict the married man." Of the singing itself the less said the better. Perhaps the .most important works on the line are at Frodsham. The line, on entering this town, runs on a considerable embankment, and crosses the turn pike road by an iron girder bridge. Again it runs under the road through a short tunnel cut through red sandstone rock, the arch of which is of fire-bricks. The line, on leaving this tunnel, is again carried on an embankment over the valley of the Weaver. At this place the Weaver is a tidal river, and the line, after an embankment, crosses the river on an iron girder bridge, designed by Mr. Rendell, the engineer, of the line. This bridge has two arches, each of ninety-two feet span, and at a great elevation above high-water mark. The bridges are covered with iron plater, ballasted, and longitudinal beams of timber are extended across them, to disperse the weight of the trains over . the entire structure. This bridge forms part of a viaduct, on the Chester side of which there are two arches, and on the Warrington side twenty one arches, each of forty feet span. Another em bankment sucteedsa and, in the same valley, the Weston canal, which runs nearly parallello the river, i 3 crossed by a cast-iron girder 'bridge of niin feet s pan. The.. view of this.viaduct and embankment from the main road is very fine. The piers end arches of the viaduct, with the exception of the portions THE ARMY AND NAVY. - (Vrona tho United Service Gazette of this drty,) Bomnxv CommA.ND.—Lieutenant-General Sir Joan Grey is in London in excellent health, and will pro ceed by the overland route to India.

His successor will probably be an inspector-general, receiving military pay with an additional allowance, by which arrangement a consi derable saving will accrue to the public.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE HORRIBLE MURDER IN JERSEY A great deal of painful excitement was caused yes terday in the island in consequence of the discovery o a most horrible and revolting murder which was corn , mitted in St. Saviour's-road, on the person of Mary Carleton, a pensioner's wife. The murder was not discovered until about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. It appears that the husband of the deceased woman left his house about nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and locked the door after him, when some of the neighbours, finding that the house was not opened as usual, forced open the shutters of the lower room, where, horrible to relate, the unfortunate women was seen through the window lying upon her back, with her legs crossed, and weltering in her blood. An alarm was immediately given, and the woman's hus band, upon whom suspicion seems to have fallen, and who, there is no reason to doubt, was the murderer, was arrested and lodged in gaol. It appears, from what we can learn up to the present time, that the unfortunate man and his deceased wife were in the habit of living in constant discord together, so that even had their next door neighbours heard any noise w pwaefal it would not have been noticed. It seems that the un f o rtunate woman had returned from market on days Saturday e vening with her littl e supp li es f or the dinner,Sun consisting of a p i g ' s h ea d, vege t a bl es , & c . It is supp osed that they were both in a state of i n t ox ication, and a quarrel ensued which terminated in the horri ble murder of the unfortunate w o m an. At six o'clock on Sunda y e vening the coroner a nd jury went to view the body o f th e d ecease d. We admitted into the roo m , on en t er i n g which a mostuerrye painful sight presented itself, viz , the muti lated body of the murdered woman. She was on her back I the left ear cut off, and only hanging by a small piece of flesh; almost the whole of it had been devoured by vermin. The flesh of the right eye, above and below, was completely scarified; and un ' der the left side of the neck a wound had b een in filapicpteeadr l s a t r h g a e t enough to admit a man's four fing e r s . It instrument with which the fatal deed was committed was a rusty knife without a handle, found in the room. The unfortunate deceased has left a family of six children behind her—two sons in going to see what was th e i t s h l e a n a d r . m y i t h w e o h u daughtersshand h s a e v r i v n i g c e , h a a d n d a t n w in y o kno te w h . ledge of the murder.

Up t o th e ti me m dr a e t a t d e f r ul he s f it o u u a n t d ion his of our going to press the jury were still sitting, and their verdict had not been given.—Jersey Sun, O c t. 28. The death of Sir Donald Campb ell, Bart., leaves va cant the Lieutenant -Governorship of Prince Ed. ward's Island. The appointment is worth 1,5001. per annum (salary), to which are added va rious emoluments and advantages which nearly double the salary. ,The markets are cheap, and the calls upon the Lieutenant-Governor's hospitalities and charities c omparatively slight. The; only drawback upon the appointment lies in the long winter and rigorous climate. As a -civilian last held the office, we apprehend a civilian will succeed to it, seeing that Lord Grey often ap pointS' civilians to offices vacated by military officers. 'We trust, however, that the Duke of Wellington will ,put in a word for some veteran still -unprovided for. 'We' are sure that there are many, major-generals quite as competent to fill the office as Mr. Daly, the quondam Secretary to the Canadas,,'Whose name is now mentioned for the appointment. , GAMBLING AT MALTA..--riletedS a repoit abroad, but we do not vouch for the accur a cy of it, that the 'Naval Commander-in - Chief of the Mediterra ne a n b as written a letter to the Duke of Wellingten to induce the Commander-in-Chief of the Army to take some measure for preventing gambling at Malta.' ' It is said to be carried to a great excess there by both naval and military officers ; and that a friend of the Admiral was comfortably relieved, of 3001. recently „ 'for hiinight's amusement.

The Artizan, ATTACK ON A CHILD Br A FERHET.—Last week, as a clergyman, named Hinds, was passing along tho Cite riton-road, not far from the Folkestone Laundry, he heard continued screams from a hawker's cart left on the roadside, and seeing no one near, he went to the vehicle from whence the cries proceeded, and there found that a ferret had attacked a young child, and had fast held of its face. With great dif tictilty he beat the animal off, and then found the child's face sheckingly lacerated. tie took the child in his arms, carried it to Folkestone, and had the wounds 'dressed by Mr. W.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1850. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. Rickard Hammet Drake (clerk in Roberts, Curtis, and Co.'s bank), who was charged on Thursday with having embezzled the sum of 477/. 1 ls. 3d., was brought before Alderman Gibbs for final examination. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, solici tors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Bush stated the case, and called the following witnesses to support it : Mr. G. R. Saunderson, clerk at Drummond's bank at Charing-cross, have the city walk to attend to, and I had directions from my employers to pay a sum of money into the house of Roberts, Curtis and Co. I produce a ticket containing the directions which I received, and was furnished with the sum of 4771. lls. 3d., which I took to Roberts and Co.'s, in a bank-note or 3001., a bank-note for 1001., a bank note for 501, and the rest of the amount in gold and silver. I presented the money at the counter, I think to Mr. Drake, and received a receipt, signed by the person who handed it to me. It was in the name of the Rev. Mr. Despard. Mr. W. Harding, clerk at Roberts, Curtis, and Co.'s, said—l have the particular care of the general ledger. There are two ledgers, the general and the cash ledger. In the former every day are entered all the transactions and articles of the day, including bills and orders and credit. In the cash ledger there are only entered the cash transactions paid and re ceived. That is the material distinction. I open the general ledger. Amongst the entries in the general ledger I see one for 477/. 11s. 3d. in the name of "J. B. Despard." It had reference to the date in the margin of the 30th of September. I also constantly refer to the cash ledger. I turn to the Ist of October in that ledger, and see in the prisoner's handwriting the following entry :—" Add 4771. 11s. 3d." After making some other statements respecting the mode in which the books of the house were kept, the witness said, " All the items before the 4771. 1 ls. 3d. appear to be ticked off as correct. As regards the entry of that sum, there is no mark at all. It is an unautho rised entry. The prisoner used to attend the counter, and receive and pay money, and also perform other duties. Mr. Covington, a clerk in Roberts, Curtis, and Robarte' house, produced the cash-ledger, and stated, that the sum of 4771. 1 ls. 3d. ought to appear in that book, but did not. Mr. Bush said, that was the first case against the prisoner, who upon being spoken to in the country by one of the clerks on the subject, acknowledged his guilt and signed a statement of the particulars of his confession. Alderman Ginus then, in the usual form, asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything ? The Prisoner—Nothing whatever. Alderman GIBBS—Then it is my duty to commit you for trial for embezzling the sum of 4771. l le. 3d. from your employers. Mr. Bush said there were other cases against the prisoner which it would be his duty to bring forward. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. An application was made to Mr. Hardwick for a search warrant to search the house of a person in Marshall-street, who was suspected of having robbed several masonic lodges of their insignia and jewels. It was stated that five or six lodges had been recently plundered, and that property in value not under 5001. had been stolen in this way. A search warrant was granted, and yesterday Charles King was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a quantity of jewels and silver articles from the box of the Prince of Wales Masonic Lodge, held at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street. Mr. Crosse, solicitor, No. 16, Harley-street, said the prisoner was tiler of the Prince of Wales Free masons' Lodge, held at the Thatched-house Tavern. The duties of tiler were to act as a sort of doorkeeper and to take charge of the box containing the property of the lodges. From information he received he went on Monday last to the Thatched-house Tavern, and there he found the hex belonging to the Prince of Wales Lodge bad been broken open, and a silver level, silver square, and other articles stolen. Police-sergeant Bewley, D 20, said he went yester day morning to No. 16, Marshall-street, where the prisoner lived, and found him in bed. The prisoner requested him not to make any noise. He said he knew what witness had come about. He owned he had done wrong, but he was in difficulties at the time. Witness asked the prisoner if he had the stolen jewel lery in the house. The prisoner said he had the tickets, and he delivered up several duplicates. The prisoner's wife gave witness acme tippets and collars belonging to the lodge. The prisoner did not deny his guilt. He said he did not break the box open. About a year ago he had lost or mislaid the key, and then it was he caused the box to be opened. The prisoner was stated to have filled the office of tiler in other lodges, which had also been robbed. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday next. WORSHIP-STREET. Richard Lee, William. Gardner, and William Watts, were charged with burglariously breaking into the house of Mr. William Loudon, a tea-dealer in Wells-street, Hackney. Both Watts and Gardner protested their innocence, declaring that, although they were certainly ac quainted with Lee, they knew nothing whatever of any felonious transaction he might have been engaged in ; and the last-named prisoner having expressed his determination to reserve his defence, Mr. ARNOLD said that the evidence against Watts and Gardner was wholly insufficient to sustain the case against them, and ho should therefore order them to be discharged; but the first-named prisoner, Lee, was formally committed until that day week, that the depositions of the witnesses might be taken against him.

I.—Our corn mar. ket this morning was very thinly attended, and we had a slow demand for wheat, but there was no alteration made lin the value of old or new; the latter is still scarce. Flour finds buyers in quantity, and prices are supported; any pressing seller is quickly relieved at a fair value. Oats and oatmeal were each rather dearer. Barley, beans, and peas supported late rates. Indian corn was quiet to-day, but it would be difficult to buy at less money than on Tuesday; the top value of the best American yellow is 30s per 4801bs.
