This order, we are assured, has been given confilenti.ille, and direc , ly to the Colonels, by rbe Alinister of War; and the Minist.r is slid to have indicated at the ga me time the route to be taken by each regiment, and the measwes which the troops are to take whvn they shall be commanded. What signifies this mys terious order? With what, intention and for what mitive has the G vernment prepared this concentra tion of troops ?

A report has just been made by a special commit ttee of the Middlesex magistrates, appointed on the 17th of October last, "to consider whether it would be fur the benefit of the coutty that any and what different arrangements should be made fur the per forinuece of the duties now devolving upon the coroners, or respecting the remuneration annexed thereto ; also, whether it is desirable that a medical officer should be appointed to the coroner's court." the report, which is of genie length, enters into the subject of the inquiry with considerable minuteness, but tne report of it may be shortly given. After stating that the committee were favoured with the at tendance of Mr. Wakley, , Mr. Baker, Mr. Bedford, and Mr. Higgs, the coroners; Mr. Jardine, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Broughton, the police magiatrates ; and with cominueicetiomi from Mr. P,..ynter and Mr. Yardley, police magistrates ; and from Lord Murray, Court of Session, tied Mr. Bscb, a well-known German jurist, the report says, " Upon considering the subject with the absibtatice thus aftrtied them, as well as with the advantage of stone persun.l experience on the p..rt of most of their own members, and after loek ing at the objects of the coroner's office, the objections r o its present constitution, and its position relatively to the other institutions of the country, it became a question with the committee whether the mail, tenance of a separate tribunal for inquiries into the causes of death is, under existing circumstances, really requisite, whether all such inquiries ought not in feet to tuff treated as a part of the general criminal proce dure of the country, and whether they might not be wholly committed (ta they already ate par•iatly) to the same authorities which have the conduct of criminal investigations. ..... . • The principal objecti ons w hi c h have been ur ge d aga i nst the existing system may be taken to be its ex pensiveness and (connected therewith) the immo derate exercise of the powers of the office, the cum brousness of its machinery, the exceptional mode in which the coroners tire appointed, the want of sufficient publicity in their proceedings, and the in convenience and discredit coeseqeunt upon the con current coeflicting jurisdi c ti on of the coroners a nd o riginally and the ri g m a a ll g y istracy." The following facts are stated in the report :—" In the course of twenty years the cost to the county of Middlesex for inquests had increased nearly sixfold, having risen from 1,2841. in 1828, to 8,1931. in 1848. In 1828 the number of inquests held in Middlesex was 1,151, and in 1848, 2,449, showing an increese of be tween 112 and 113 per cent. In Westminster the number in 1821 was 250, and in 1848, 326, the increase being 30 per cent, only, whilst the increase in the western division was 127 per cent., end in the eastern division 146 per cent. The in crease of population in the same time the committee estimate at 30 per cent., whilst crimes against life have diminished. In 1849, out of 2,674 inquests in Middlesex, the criminating verdicts, including those against persons unknown, were 36, viz , 18 of murder t t h en an ye l ars, and 18 of manelaughter, and, taking the average of the number ' of such verdicts has been less i per cent.of the entire number of inquests.

The paper read on Tu, eday was " On the Peeu uric Method odop.ed in constructing the Flundaiioes o' the. sew Bridge, across the :slid...ay, at ituchesLer," by M. J•:Phn Hughes, Assoc. Inst, This hti Ige was described, as bi ing designed tip con. cist i.f thre, huge openings, a cen#ral one of 170 feet in width, and two others, each of 144 feet in width, venned by cast-iron segmental girders, wet a passage to admit masted vessels to the upper parts of the ruse, ,crot.s whiCh a moveaele bridge would be placed. Each the river piers occupied an area or 1.118 square feet, and rested upon a series of cast-iron cylinder piles, 7 Bret in diameter, placed 9 feet spirt longitudinally-, acrd 10 feet transversely, ao that there were tourteeu unite r each pier. The cylinder piles in the abutments were 6 feet in diameter, of which the " Straus" abutment re quired thirty, and the "R#cheeter" abutment twelve. E ich pile was composed of two, three, or more cylinders, 9 feet in length, bolted tog they through stout fl inges; the bottom length had its lower edge bevelled, so as to facilitate the cutting through the ground. The bed of the river was orignally presumed to consist of soft clay, send, and grarel, overlying the chalk, and accordingly the application of Dr. Potts' peetuntatic method for fircing the cylinder piles into the ground, which had been successfully carried out in similar positions, was contemplated; but after a few trials, the ground was found to consist of a compact mass of Kentish rag stone, so that the mere atmospheric action upon the piles. induced by a tartial vacuum, would be ineff-ctive in such a situation. It was then tore decided that the pne.utnsuc process should be reversed, so as to give each pile the &erecter of a diving-bell; fur which purpose one of the cylinders, 7 feet in diameter, and 9 feet, in length. had e wrought iron cover securely b.lted to it, through which two caet iron chambers, D shaped in plan, with a sec tional area of about 6 scpare feet, appropriately called "air locks," projected 2 feet 6 inches above the top of the cylinder, and 3 feet 9 inches below the cover. The top of each "air lock" was provided with a circular open lug ,2 feet in diameter, with a flap working on a hurnautsl hinge, and au iron door, 2 feet by 3 feet 4 inches, with vertical hinges below the cover; each "air luck" was also furnished with two sets of cocks, the one for forming a communication between the cylinders and the chamber, the other between the chamber and the atmos phere. Compressed air was supplied to the cylinder pile by a double-barrelled pump. 12 itches in eismeter, and 18 inches stroke, driven by a 6 H. P. non-condensing steam engine. At first the expelled water was made Le pass into the river, from beneath the lower edge of the pile, but when the stratum became's() compact es to op pose a high degree of resistance to the passage of the air, an outlet was formed through the side of the upper most cylinder, by the introduction of a pipe, having tne form of a syphon, the lung leg of which reached to the bottom of the pile, and ress subject to the pressure of the condensed air on the surface of the water within, whilst the abort leg, leading into the river, ha i the effect f relieving the amount of compression, provided a re cuum was 'ewe obtain d in in the body of the syphon. Such au effect was readily produced In count ettug the summit with the exhaust side ut the sir pumps, by &I pipe which could be up-ne•l or closed at pleasure ro insure the downward motion of the pile, anti to give it a Wright which should be at all tames .uperior to the upward pressure., two stout trussed umber bthith4 were : laid on the top of the Cylinder, in a direction suitable for bringing the adjacent pitee_ late action as coutiter, tpdtsfice weights, by tutu- dhaius pa-sing ov( r cast iro. shear. a.

The com mittee have no hesitation in condemning the use of juries at inquests ; and with regard to the consolida tion of the office with the jurisdiction of the in 'gig tracy, they recommend that, if that suggestion be adopted, the present appointments should not be inter fered with ; but that as vacancies occur, they should not be filled up, and the duties at once transferred to the magistrates. The committee think that, so long as the coroner's office exists, the expenses attendant upon it should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, and not out7of the county rate." After recommend ing the appointment of a medical gentleman, at a per manent salary, to make post mortem examinations, the report says :—" The committee would advert to one measure that has been on several occasions sug gested by persons who have interested themselves in the reform of the law, and which, though propo,ed with a view to other proceedings, might, the committee think, be applied with greet utility to those which form the sui - ject of the present reference."

CUTTING (PAUPER) v. LE BLANC. Mr. Hungrey and Mr. Bell conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush was counsel for the defendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damaees for the breach of an alleged promise of marriage. The defendant by his plea denied the promise. It appeared that the plaintiff is the daughter of a small farmer, and the defendant is an attorney. In the year 1839 the plaintiff, who was at that time 17 years of age, having become acquainted with the defendant, went into his service in the capacity of his housekeeper. After she had been with the defendant some time an in tirnacy sprang up between master and maid, in the pro gress of which the former made the promise of marriage in querien. Ie the year 1847 a child was born as the result of the itifirreeey which bad existed between the ;lames. Matters appeared to bare run on smoothly until 1850, when, dispures having arisen between them, the feedgfit desired that the plaintiff should quit his house—a step which she erelined to take. The fen-tent offered to give her 2001., but this she refused to accept, and required that he should fulfil his promise to marry her. Eventually the defendant tureen the wain. off and her child out ot doom, and in the course of :iine the pre-to-lit aciii n was inqituted for the recovery of ceinpeneatien for the breach alleged. Several witne sses were examined in support of the case for the plaintiff, among whom were Charles Painter, who said—l am a gentlernae's coach man, living in Cadogam- place. I visited my sister-in law at Stanhope terrace. The defendant treated her in the kindest manner possible. He used to cell her his " dear Pussey,' and always kissed her before he left her In the year 1842 the detendent and the plaintiff were living in furnished apartments, and the servants of the house waited upon them. The pl-ontiff was accustomed to el , ire the drawing-mum. In 1847 she hruueht me a pack t of letters, among which were 27 from the de fendant himself, addressed to her. I read a great (4al of them, but I could not wake all out. In some of there letters the defendant asked her why she should vex end annoy herself unnecessarily, and then added, " You are already my wife in the sight of heaven, and as soon as my circumstences enable we-I will give you the honour. able name of wife." Some of the letters were dated in 1839. There were many of this sort of letters. The defendant in some of them spoke of his uncle Charles, and said he did not wish to offend his uncle, as he ex pected a legacy at his death. In February, 1850, the de /pedant turned the plaintiff out of the house, and put a padlock on the gate, and said that neither she nor the child should ever enter the house again. I took the child in my arms. She got over the gate. I then gave her the child. She begged the defendant to let her in, and said she was very cold, and the dear child would alto take cold. He said he would not let her in. She then told me to go away, for that perhaps when I had gone he would let her in. I went away, and in five minutes I went back again. There were then two policemen at the house. Defendant was telling the policemen that this was a person who had lived with him, and who had had a child. He told them to take me away, and to take her to an hotel. or a house, and be would pay every ex pense. Of course I told the policemen the truth, and they advised him to take her in, for that they would not take her in charge. and they advised him not to let her stand there in the cold on a Sunday night. The defen dant would not take her in, and they then got an old shawl from the servants to wrap the child in. She sat on the steps. She remained there from 9 that night till 12 the next day. Le Blanc Came out, and 1 was walking about with him till tour in the morning. B e . tween this matter and the going before the magistrates the defendant came to my hems& He said he would summon her, but he did not wish to press the charge against her, and wished me to go over to get her to come to s.,me arrangement. The magistrate recommended a settle ment of the matter. The defendant paid the costs. He came afterwards to my house and said that he was willing to make her every re cotapenso that lay in his power. I said I did not believe that he really wished it, else he would have done it long before. He said, "To convince you, I have brought 1004 now, and I will give it to you if you will give up , ny letters of mine you have got, and will give up all the rest ; I will sign an agreement to have another 10( 1 h paid within a twelvemonth, and that he had the agreement written on a sixpenny stamp." I said that was not •utH dent; he said it was: but I would not have it. and I said my wife and I would go over the next day. He said he wished we would, aed he flung down a half-sovereign. The next day we went over. The servants were there, We had a few words about the s - amp. I wanted to call is a lawyer to draw up the agreement. He said, * 1 No, he would not have a lot of lawyers." He then said he would hot do anything. He would turn us out, and she might do what she liked. Cross-examined—l read the letters in 1847, at the time when she brought the letters to my house. Ido not remember the date t.f the leiter which mentioned ut his uncle. Mr. Hawkins examined—l heard that the plaintiff w e e living with the defendant as his housekeeper. I visited her at Cambridge terrace, and afterwards at Bayswater, three or . tour times.. That was about 1843 or 1844. He treated her with respect —very much so. Atter she was turned out I never spoke to Le Blanc. Criss-examined—l did not know Elia4beth Cutt;ng betore bhe carne t'► me at Clapham. I thought she aa. a married woman before she first came. I understood she was married. I tol I Le Banc so. He did not say he w, uld pa) her 1001. on her marriage. I knew that at that tim.• she hat summoned him Co the county court for wages - fir about 11/. or 12/. When he spoke of offer ing her 100/. he did riot bay anything stout her giving up a gild watch and some pawn tickets. He said she had taken a gold watch. She told me she had taken it ny his wish, for be had no money. He lived in a very nice house in Bsyswater—a 10-roomed house. bhe was a servant, but did not act as on , . There were two other ser►ants in the house. I know Panter, her brother in-law. Ido not know from her that be and she broke into Le Blanc's house at Bayswater. She told me that she had been Luken by the policeman before the magis trate. She said she was taken for breaking a skylight. When the defendant spoke of the 1001, he did not com plain that he was annoyed by other men coming to his house after her. Re-examined—During the whole time I ever saw him, he never ssid or insinuated that any other man had had iritereoutle with her. No other man ever did go after her. That I firmly believe. At one time he treated her with all the kindness and attention of a man about to be married to a woman. She told me that on one occasion she went to him and told him she had no money. He said he had none then to give her, and she must take his watch to pawn. When ebe was tAcen before the magic• trace he said Le Blanc ought to give her 2001. M.. Luau said that after the evidence which had been given he WWI willing to consent to a verdict for the plaintiff; with dsmages fur 2501. A verdict we. accordingly taken for that amount. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Thomas Reed, aged 3.5, wine merchant, was indicted r feloniouslt forging an at:eel:ranee to a bill of ex change fur 351. 4s. 6d., with intent to defraud John Syminons. Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. Mr. Symmons, the prosecutor, deposed that he carried on the busine ss of a wine merchant under the firm of rnmons and son, in Fencburch-street. Their firm had been in the habit of doing business with Messrs. Reed and Co., wine merchants, at Bath, and on ill , - 2d of April the prisoner introduced himself to him as Mr. !'homes Reed, a member of the firm, and believing him to be that gentleman, they entered into a transaction for the purchase, by the prisoner, of twelve dozen of champaine on account of the Rath firm. At t hi s tim theta; was a balauce of about 8L du e tram Messrs.

Mr. Tnomss Reed deposed that be carried on business as a wine merchant at B oh. The prisoner was his tss in brother, and his name was William. He had been a meinfelf of i la , firm for some time, but the partnership was dissolved about four years ago, and he had no autho r' y to accept any bills fni ate not of the firm sinc e , te i , t period. The bill now produced was a forgery, and he had no doubt that the aec-ptance a as in the handwriting of the prisoner. ' By Mr. PRAY—Witness's handwriting was not at all similar to that of the prisoner. After the partnership was dissolved the prisoner had no authority to acc-pt bills, but he used to assist in the counting-house and 1 ok over the books. Ho never rt ceived any remunera tion for this service. He was not aware of anything that could have operated upon the mind of the prisoner to induce him to suppose that he had authority to draw such a bill. lie had never had any quarrel with his brother, and they had always bean on good terms. Wit ness bad nothing whatever to do with this bill, either directly or indirectly. Mr. PARRY, in his address to the jury for the defence, said that whatever decision might eventually be arrived at, it wr•os impossible to deny that it was a very melan choly spectacle to see one brother coming forward and giving evidence against another on a charge of so serious a kind. He had no instructions, and the circumstances would not justify him in stating that Mr. Reed was not speaking the truth, but he should contend that, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and taking into consideration the anomalous position of the prisoner in connexion with the firm, the jury would be perfectly justified in coming to the conclusion that there was not seffictent evidence to sat i s fy tbeal that the prisoner had heard that for a consid era bl e ti me h e had been a committed the off e n ce of fo r gery.

MONEY MARKET —The quotation of veld at Paris is about 3 per mille discount, according to the new tariff, which, at the English Mint price of 17s. 141 per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 2a 10; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.00, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hain burgh the price of gold is 42> per mark, which, at the Eng. lisp Mint price of cl. 17s. loid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4 i; and the exchsngo at Ham. burgh on London at short being 13.6.1, it follows that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in London than in liamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a' 60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 103 z 3-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 1.17 per cent. in favour of England; but eta' making allowance for differ ence of intereet and charges of transport. the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ARREST OF A R.CONDING DEBTORS.—On Tuesday a Bill was printed by order of the House of Lords. brought forward by the E rl of Ilarrowby, to facilitate the more speedy arrest of absconding debtors. It is proposed to give authority to the Commissioners of Bankruptcy and Judges Of County Courts to issue warrants tor the arrest of ab sconding debtors. The writs of capias from the superior courts are to issue thereupon. The ‘A arrant is to be Auxi liary to such writ of capias, and persona so arrested may apply to a Judge of one of the superior courts to be dis th&rged. Oa the payment of the debt and costs the party arrested to be discharged. In case it should appear to the satisfaction of a jury in any action brought for false imprisonment under a warrant authorised to be issued that such imprisonment was malicious, or that there was no probable cause of action, then the warrant and the writ of capias i.sued thereor shall in either of such cases be no ground of justification to the person at whose suit the same shill have been issued. Certain fees are to be payable, but none in the Court of Bankruptcy. home forms to be used are given in a sche dule to the Bill. DovER, MAT 14.—Wind E.N.E., strong.—Arrd. Al-rt, Buenos Ayres.
