ITALY. The sitting of the Piedmontese Senate on the Ist was very animated, in consequence of a question to Ministers being on the order of the day, which Signor Castagneto had given notice of, concerning the erec tion of a public Protestant church at Turin. The tri bunes were full. Signor di Castagneto declared he was actuated by no motives of intolerance, but that in demanding an explanation on a matter concerning the religion of the State, he only wished to defend the Constitution of the land. He added that there were barely 20,000 Protestants in Pied mont, who lived in a valley, where no one has meddled with them in so far as their liberty of conscience was concerned ; but that at Turin there were so few, that he thought a private chapel was quite sufficient for their wants. The Minister of the Interior answered that, in a country where the principle of civil equality was recognised, such restric tions as the lion. Senator proposed were inadmissible. Nevertheless the Government would introduce a Bill without delay on the subject, in order to regulate the right of opening Protestant churches. The Senate, after some further discussion, adopted an order of the day, declaring itself satisfied with the promise that the Bill in question would be simedily presented.

JUIN EN G INTELLIGENCE. (From tho Jl ining Journal.) The preponderating power (.;f capital - lies never been more clearly shown than iu the share market this week, for, natwithetanding the evident tendency to derange ment c.f ail monetary affairs by such events as those whick ere now ceuvolsirss our neighbours on the con tinent, the value and the demand for ail mining shares of repute have been considerably augmented, and a large eusinees transacted, in dividend mines in partica tar. Ad ied to this, there has been announced the most important improvement in the workings of a number of concerns which kid scarcely an existence twelve mouths a and in several instances the value of the shares has been raised 100 to 200 per cent. It i 4 remarkable, too, that this success comes principally from the eastern sile of the Tamar (the Tavi,tock district), where, traditionally, it was said, no ore would ever be found, and thus com pletely stultifying, by the infiuenc, of science and capi tal, the predictions of former years. A. particular mine in the west of Cornwall having demonstrated that ore is in sight for nearly two years' workings, has risen in value P 20,0001. the saeres even at that advance scarcely to be purchased. Reviewing the6e facts, we confess that we are more than sanguine for the future prosperity of mining in this country, since a stimulus to good management results from success, by which alone can a mining preperty be brought to a standard value. In the speculative class of mines, there are some dealt in at fair prices, and others either quite neglected, or the shares disposed of at nominal figures. Ie the Metal Market,-Copper is without alteration, and in fair demand. Lead is in better request: there have been considerable arrivals from Spain, which have met ready sale. - English Refined Tin fully maintains its price, and is scarce. Bars and blocks are in good re quest, and the stock extremely low. Foreign Tin has been in very good demand, both for home consumption and shipment to America, and gradually improved from 78s. for Banca to 8 is., at which rate about 800 slabs have been sold, and 82s. is now asked. Straits have been sold at 80s., but little is offering. The quantity upon which duty has been paid amounts to 2,637 cwts. during Nov., and the stock on the 30th of Oat, was 1,273 tons. The quantity imported was-up to the 30th Nov., 1851, 1,098 tons; ditto, 1850, 915 tons; ditto, 1849, 1,140 tons; ditto, 1848, 127 tons. Delivered for home use and export up to 80th Nov., 1851, 1,060 tons; ditto, 1850, 708 tons; ditto, 1849, 926 tons ; ditto, 1848, 441 tons. Tin Plates and Spelter have been in better demand. In the Bullion Market-Mexican and South Ameri can dollars, buyers at 4s. 110. per oz. Bar silver con taining gold, all gold above five grains in the pound to ,be paid for, ss. Id. per oz. standard. Bar silver, without gold, ss. Old. per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard. American eagles, 765. 2id. to 765. 3d. per oz. Plating, about 16s. per cz.

The following interesting correspondence has now for the first time, been made public : MR. PENNY TO THE LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY. Ship Hotel, London, Sept. 12, 1851. Mr. Lords,—On my return from the Arctic regions I beg to lay before my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, at the very earliest moment, on consideration, certain points which are of vital importance to the search in which I and so many others have been en gaged ; and I beg your Lordships to excuse any undue treedom of expression which may occur in putting before you my convictions. First, I have, under a deep sense of duty, to exprese to your Lordships the extreme im portance of the fact, which I have learnt only since my return, that the provisions carried out by the North Star are lying in Lancaster Sound instead of at Disco Island. Had this fact been made known to the search ing squadron , either at the time when so deposited, or this year, it must have very materially affected the question of the return of the expedition, whose labour, now that the course taken by the missing ships is known almost to a certainty, could not have been cramped fur want of resources to fall back upon. The whole of Captaie Austin's squadron are convinced, from my re port, and from not having seen the North Star them selves, that Mr. Saunders deposited his provisions at Disco. I feel bound to add, that had that officer per mitted me to see your Lordship's instructions, I should have been aware that his interpretation of them was not in conformity with the meaning of your Lordships. Secondly. Yeur Lordships are aware that I have dis covered the course of Wellington Channel lies N.W., distance of GO miles beyond the point which I reached, and about 180 beyond the entrance of the channel from Barrow Straits; and th tt it is my conviction that the ex tensive yet unavailing investigations of the coast of Barrow Strait westward place beyond a doubt that the missing expedition has taken this N.W. channel, and that their course should be therein followed with the utmost energy, determination, and dispatch. The heavy barrier of ice which has blocked up Wel lington Channel near its junction with Barrow Straits prevented ail access northwards, both last year and the present, up to the period of our return; and in my opinion a powerful steamer only, to take advantage of the short season, is fit for the accomplishment of the work. It is not possible to overrate the advantages of such a steamer; it would do with safety what nothing else could accomplish. Thirdly. My observations convinced me that, this northern latitude once reached, comparative open water would be found. The climate improves; and in proof of this I may mention, that within this channel at Point Surprise, lat. 76 deg. 2 min., long. 95 deg. 55 min., we found ducks on the 17th May— full a month earlier than in the lower latitude; while the sea was even then so free from ice that the water washed our very feet as we stood upon the point. The quantity of drift wood was comparatively large, and among this was found a piece of drift wood of English elm, evidently to me a bit thrown overboard from the Erebus and Terror. Walrus and seals were also seen and killed. And from all these circumstances of improved food und fuel, it is impossible to doubt that Sir John Fran party may still be living in this most northern region. In conclusion I venture to put before your lordships the importancethe of im me di a t e s t e ps for the prosecution of search; and I intreat you to send up a powerful steamer without delayto follow up the work, which we have failed to a ccomplish of for want of fitting means to do Sp, And on accou nt feeling f myself fettered by the terms of my instructions myself bound to state, in further explanation, that_ ou t r he L terms of the but to instructions I received from no alternative to leave me return n ds h hips seemed it not been for these restrictions I should om n e o . t have dared to have done so. At the mirne time, with my aypre sent means, but crippled by the dep o t s of provisions which have been left on the coast, and with no known re sources to fall back upon, I could not have lasted on another year without great risk to my men. Since my return I learn that Captain Al‘Clure an d Captain Collinson are proceeding ea stward from Behri ng Strait, intending to reach Melville Island, which I have i• e' not the slightest doubt of th eir acoomp is ing; and being aware also of the opinion o f Captain Kellett, which is my own also, that they wou ld not return westward, I leave your Lordships to judge if such a certainty, as I may presume to call it, does not afford additional neces sity for sending to meet them at the earliest moment. If the promptest measures are adopted, and a steamer prepared with all possible dispatch, she may easily reach Lancaster Sound before it is closed by ice for the season; and for the command of such a vessel, to be accompa nied by the Lady Fr4ultlin and Sophia, whose officers and ere vs are to a man willingsod l eager retard, t):.g to offer my service 9. My 'officors and men are in perfect health,end willing to follow wherever I may lead them. If this b plan e adopted, the North Star LONDON, should be sent up next spring, with provisions, coals, and stores. - I have &c., (Signed) WILLIAM PENNY. Board Minute, 18th September. My Lords have thought it proper to request the at tendance of Sir Francis Beaufort, Sir Edward Parry, and Sir James Ross, Captain Beechey, Sir George Back, and Sir John Richardson. The following officers—viz., Sir Francis Beaufort, Sir Edward Parry, Sir James Rosa, and Capt. Beechey, at tonded here this day; Sir John Richardson and Sir George Back not being within reach. This letter, No. 18, was placed before the above officers present, and they have seen Captain Penny, and having afterwards communicated with their Lord ships, my Lords, on a full consideration of the circum stances, declined acceding to Captain Penny's offer. Present—Sir Francis Baring, Admiral Berkeley, Ad miral Stewart, Captain Milne. W. A. B. H, See.:: Acknowledge receipt of this letter, and acquaint Captain Penny that my Lords are mach gratified by his zeal, and this generous offer of his services to pro ceed with his two ships and a steamer, to endeavour to reach Lancaster Sound this season; but that, on a full consideration of all the circumstances of the case, their Lordships declined to accept the offer. W. A. B. 11. SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 13, 1851. Sir,—Referring to a dispatch from Captain Austin, of her Majesty's ship Resolute, dated the 12th of August last, in which he states that, " having communicated with Captain Penny, and fully considered his official reply to my letters relative to the search of Wellington Strait by the expedition under his charge (unhappily without suc cess), I do not feel authorised to prosecute (even if prac ticable) a further search in these directions," I am corn mended by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to signify their direction to you to take the earliest op portunity of transmitting to me for their Lordships' in formation a copy of your official letters to Captain Austin referred to.—l have, &c., (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir,—l am sorry that I have not with me a copy of the note to which Captain Austin refers in his dispatch, but I know the words by heart, and they will appear in the following statement which I have the honour to lay before you for the information of the Lords of the Ad miralty. I stated verbally to Captain Austin that it was my conviction that Sir John Franklin had gone through the strait leading N.W. out of Wellington Channel (which I have for the present named Queen Victoria Channel), and that he had gone off in clear water, and that he was beyond our reach. I meant, of course, beyond the reach of my parties and my moans. He did not seem disposed to credit my statement. I begged him to give me one of his steamers, and I would take the Sophia, and would act as pilot, and go up the channel, and wait to ace if the ice would clear away; that he would thus have the advantage of my practical experience. Capt. Austin declined this request, and went away. Late at night he wrote me a note, saying, "Is Wellington Channel searched, or is it not searched?" My reply in writing was, " Sir, your question is easily answered, I did a ll in the power of man to do in Wellington Channel. It requires no further search." I feel convinced that I have given the exact words I used, and I limited myself to the question he put to me. Captain Austin is per fectly aware that I had previously put before him all the circumstances, and that I had discovered open water leading north-west out of Wellington Channel. I have, &e., (Signed) WM. PENNY. SECRETARY 07 THE ADMIRALTY TO SIR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir—With reference to your letter of this day's date , in which yon state that " I begged him (Captain Austin) to give me -one of his steamers, and I would take the Sophia, and act as pilot, and go up the Channel," I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners to acquaint you that my Lords would wish you to explain clearly whether there was not a barrier of ice at the entrance of Wellington Channel, which would have prevented these vessels proceeding in that direction.--1 have, &e. (Signed) W. A. 13. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 16, 1851. _ _ _ Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 15th instant, in reference to my application, to Captain Austin to give me one of the steamers, and I would take the Sophia and act as pilot and go up the channel, and requesting me to explain clearly whether there was not a barrier of ice at the entrance of Wellington Channel which would have prevented these vessels proceeding in that direc tion, I beg to state in reply that there was undoubtedly a barrier of ice at the time I made the application ; but I nevertheless was anxiously desirous to go up to it with the vessels I have named, and remain there for the chance of its opening until the setting in of the frost at the close of the season; it being then understood that had the wind remained from the west, as it then was, I could not expect any change, but a shift to the eastward would have made a rapid alteration in the ice. It is my conviction that to such a sudden change is to be attributed the signs of Sir John Franklin's precipi tate departure from his winter encampment. For this reason I was most anxious to be watching at the edge of the ice. I have, &e. (Signed) WM. PENNY. SECRETORY OF THE ADMIRALY TO MR. PENNY. _ _ Admiralty, Sept. 15, 1851. Sir,—With reference to the first paragraph of your letter of the 12th April last, addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, in which you state that, " the traces found of the Franklin expedition . were apparently those of a retreating party," I am commended by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to call upon you to define more particularly what is meant by the said ex pression. I have, &c. (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 437, Strand, Sept. 18, 1851. Sir,—ln reference to the expression used by me in my dispatch of April 17th, that the traces found of the Franklin expedition were apparently those of a retreat ing party, of which you call upon me to define more particularly my meaning, I have to state that I formed my opinion entirely from Captain Ommanney; but that, as appears farther on in my dispatch, I was afterwards led to a very different conclusion on landing, and finding undoubted traces of a winter station of the Erebus and Terror in 1845 and 1846, of which the date upon the graves is positive evidence, Captain Ommanney had not seen these evidences of a prolonged stay when he formed the opinion to which I have alluded, and which was afterwards rejected by the whole of the squadron. To make the matter sure I took a travelling party to explore all the way to Cape Hurd, without finding anything which could justify the idea of a retreating party. Had it been a retreating party traces would have been found of such in the way to it and in the way from it, in some quarter or another, whereas the whole country has been scoured without discovering any.—l have, &0., (Signed) WM. PENNY. SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY TO MR. PENNY. Admiralty, Sept. 22, 1851. Sir,—With reference to your letters of the 12th April and Bth September last, and your report of the zealous assistance afforded to you by the several officers and others therein named, as well as to the general good conduct of your men, 1 am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that my Lords desire to express to you, and to the officers and crews of the Lady Franklin and Sophia, the sense they entertain of their praiseworthy conduct through out the service they have been employed upon; and the satistaction of my Lords at the untiring and praise worthy exertions of the travelling parties, as evinced in the space traversed by them, and the geographical discoveries they have made. My Lords are further of opinion that great credit is due to you and Captain Stewart, and to the officers under your orders, for the state of health maintained on board your respective ships. Yon will assure Mr. Peterson that the value of his services is fully acknowledged by their .Lordships. I am, &c•, (Signed) W. A. B. HAMILTON. MR. PENNY TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY, 437, Strand, Oct. 10, 1851. Sir,—l have read in the Times the correspondence be tween Captain Austin and myself, which their Lordships have been pleased to send to the newspapers; without meaning any disrespect to their Lordships, I hope I may be allowed to say that I think this is not fair to myself, as I had no opportunity of making any explanation of the circumstance, which are quite necessary to a right un derstanding of it. If the object is to show that I thought nothing more could be dono than the complete search I had made of Wellington Channel, it is answered by my having asked Captain Austin for the help of a steamer, which I would pilot up. Captain Austin's own dispatch shows that on a previous occasion he did not afford me the assistance which I might have expeeted from him in getting my boat up to the open water. But when Captain Austin seemed to wish to throw upon me, after I had done all that man could do, the responsibility of his going there himself, and following up my discoveries, I told him that he had got my chart, and that I had also told him my convictions that Sir John Franklin had gone up that channel, in clear water, and begged him to judge for himself. My last words to Captain Austin, when he was going to Jones's Sound, were — " Go up Welling ton Channel, sir, and you will do good service to the cause." Their Lordships know that I have not been doing by Captain Austin in his absence what he appears to have done by me, but now that he is on the spot I do not hesitate to say that I have received from him very unkind and, as I think, very unfair treatment, and I am sure some of his own officers could bear out my assertions. I have always endeavoured to behave to Captain !Austin with the respect that is due to an'officer holding so high a command in her Majesty's service, and I think his officers have been witness to this. I disdained to say anything of this kind in his absence. Their Lordships know that my training has not been to write official letters, and I am free to confess that I felt much hurt and offended that Captain Austin should think it necessary to write to me as if all I had been saying t o hi m b eforehand had gone for nothing. laslt left - : m ndon fo r my home at Ab e rd een o n Saturday formed s o e f they p c u lii b l i d ic r: t n io ; i m or t t t h w e o e h t o t e u r r s s after, l s ta r t e b d e i on e g m i ny return, and a m now ready to make such' personal expla nation as their Lordships may give me an opportunity. m 15,1 I have, &c., (Signed) Wm.

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 7.—The Retribution, steam frigate, Captain Frederick Warden, arrived at Spit head, at ten o'clock this morning, and saluted the flag of the Commander-in-Chief Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs. She left the Cape on the 13th of , 00';ober, in company of the Sidon, and Ascension, 7th ult., in com pany of the Sidon and Cyclops. Soon after arriving, 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. Patsy, that arrived, from the Coast, at Plymouth, on Thu rsday, arrived at Spithead this morning, having come up for the purpose of being paid off at this port. Sho will proba 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 20th, when the former put in at St. Vincent's to mai, the Cyclops making for Madeira for the like purpo, se. The Sidon joined the Retribution at St. Vincent's, tnd they left in company on the 21st. On the passage tl iose two vessels tried rates of sailing, when the former :showed 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 squadron s. The Sidon has a large number, whom the Sprightly steam tender, Mr. George Allen, Master-Commanderig, has transhipped and conveyed to the flag-ship an( I Hasler naval hospital. Lieutenant John Gwynne, i nvalided from the Tortoise, at Ascension, died on be srd 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 hay ing fore stalled the whole of the powerful naval steam e quadron. Fever was very prevalent among the Cape Verd. Islands, and deaths numerous. Lieutenant C. 0. B. Hall, lute of the Firefly, :and Mr. Becket, purser of the Archer, have come home vin these vessels. A Turkish officer from the Harlequin has a'tso some 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 Waterwitch, vice Elliot.

The Birkenhead, iron steam transport, Maste r Corn mender Salmond, arrived at Portsmouth on Sai turday from Sheerness, having on board Commander 71 iickson and 350 officers and men, transferred from the W aterloo to the Britannia. These persons will remain on board the steamer till Thursday, when they will join ti to Bri tannia. This ship has her proper lower masts an d bow sprit in, and she has got down and returned. to the dockyard her jury topmasts and topsail yards. She will be brought into dock to-morrow, and probably came out again on Wednesday or Thursday. Captain Golf Ismith has commissioned the Britannia, and Captain Yates, from Britannia, has commissioned the Neptune. The St. Vincent, 102, fitted for an entire near arma ment on her weather-deck, 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 he brought do w n and examined—she will be docked when the St.Vincen-t 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 cempany, and hauled off on Friday from her hulk to the mootiags off Gosport. The Leopard steam-frigate, advanced, was When out of the old basin on Saturday, to mooring up the harbour. DEVONPORT, DEC. s.—The Aboukir freight-s b ip, has left Deptford for Woolwich, and will call at Cowes, Portsmouth, Portland, and Plymouth, for male co nvicts, and convey them to Van Dieman's Land. 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 Nev Zea land, which she left on the 29th August.

Thomas Freeman and Elisabeth Russell were placed at the bar before Mr. Combo for re-examination, charged with having in their possession a large quantity of coun terfeit-money, consisting of shillings and sixpences, to gether 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 ber by the throat. The other 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 iu 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 good answer to the charge when before the judge, 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, and 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 for 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 at No. 2, Latymer- place, Hammersmith.:Witness;detained the forged note, and said he would send the goods home with the prisoner by one of his shop:nen, 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 weuld 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, au 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 &notorious horse coupon 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, elerkenwell, 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 bad not teen the prisoner since, until ho saw her in the police-cell. In cross-examination by Mr. Gillham, witness said be was quite positive the female prisoner was the person. She was iu the shop twenty minutes, and he had ample opportunities of seeing her face. When made up in I From what PLACES. General Poet-office port dia. London. patched. When due.

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 Ayro and Calder, appearing for the prisoner. It appeared from the examinations, which were very voluminous, that Messrs. Candy and Haggar 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 nature, and upon the police authorities being applied to upon the subject, Police-sergeant Sumners, of the detective force, was despatched to search his apartments, at the house of his father, who lived retired, at Hanhans, 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 as having been in their stock so re cently as November last, while in several boxes and trunks in the same room, the keys of which were ob tained from the prisoner, was discovered a vast amount of property, consisting of shawls, silks, handkerchiefs, &c., amounting in value to at least 501. All these things were of a description precisely corresponding with Messrs. Candy and flaggar's stock, and there was be sides other property of considerable value, which they suspected had been purloined from them, but to which they were not enabled to speak so decidedly. Mr. Ayre cross-examined the witness 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 impossi ble that such could have been the case without an entry of the sale appearing in the books. The Magistrates 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. SEABORNE MAILS. [N signifies that the mails aro sent from the °choral by the night—and M by the morning—dispatch.] cost-offlco 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 sales 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 oatmeal 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 best runs of wheat and the most approved marks of flour were held for rather higher rates, other descriptions remaining steady in value; the demand was, however, only moderate. In oats and oat meal no change was observable. At Witham wheat and white peas were each is dearer, barley, especially all below first-rate quality, was is cheaper. At Sudbury, on 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, at Stowmsrket, 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 445; ditto, old, 40s to 445. Barley, malting, 24s to 28s per imperial measure; grinding, 24s to 25s per 30 stone.

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, 36s to Barley, malting, 27s to 30s; grind 20s to 225. Oats 17s to 273; beans, 28s to 345. 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, Isecondary sorts kept the prices of last week. The best , samples of barley w ere i n d eman d , b ut 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. Red wheat, 13s 9d to 149 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, 108 6d. In oats no alteration. White boiling peas from 12s to 13s per bag. Average prices for the week ending Dec.:—Wheat, 1117 s 21d; barley, 1/ 5s 2d; beans, 119 s 4d. At Wolverhampton market there was a large supply of wheat from the farmers, which prevented their obtain ing any advance in price. The dealers were very unwil ling sellers at last week's rates, and in a few sales realized 8s to is per quarter more money. White wheat sold at 5s 2d to 5s 8d; red, 4s 8d to 5s per 621 b. Malt ing barley also in good supply from the growers, and a ooncessisn of about is per quarter was made to induce the msltsters to purchase; 27s to 29s per imperial quarter the current value. Old and new Englith beans more freely offered, and upon both descriptions about Is per quarter decline occurred; old, 13s 6d to 14s; new, 12s per 1961 b. Oats in moderate request, without change in price; English, 21e to 225; Irish, 18s 6d to 20s per 3121 b.
