GERMANY. The Berlin letters of the 27th inst. in the Kolner Ziitung state that Bavaria and the Grand Duchy of Hesse will endeavour to induce the Dresden Congress to consent to a popular representation in the new Germanic Confederation. They will be sup ported by the Thuringian States, and it is asserted that they will oppose any project to establish this Parliarnents,7y centre of Germiny at Berlin. Fruk fort is the city te which the South-German States attich their l'Arliatnentrzy projects. The Weser Zeitung bascorne detailed accounts of the prc. , eeedir. - ; -3 which have taken place at Dres den. From the statements of this paper it ap pears that Prince Schwarzenberg opened the preli minary sittings of the Congress with a lengthy speech, which did not, however, throw any light on the views and plans of Austria, for the leading points of the question were treated with great reserve and some vagueness. Baron Manteuffel's speech was shoe. He endeavoured to impress his hearers with the absolute necessity of coming to an amicable un derstanding—an issue which, it appears, is much desired, but by no means expected at Dresden. On the contrary, the Weser Zeitung states that although all the delegates were well disposed to bring the Ger man affairs to some definitive and satisfactory con clusion, still that there are almost insurmountable obstacles in the way of such an event.

DEATH FROM STARVATION. Last Saturday evening Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquiry of several hours' duration at the Three Johns, White Lion-street, Pentonville, touching the death of John Becknell, aged sixty, who was starysd to death. The jury were horrified at the awful spectacle which the body presented. In a room at 48. White Lion-street, there lay the body, shrivelled, reduced to a skeleton, and cramped up on a heap of sacks, without a particle of food or furniture, or even a cinder in the grate. The awful spectacle not only horrified but actually ~ickened the jury. Sarah Dehank, who was helf-sterved is appearance, and was in a state of semi-nudity, stated that the de ceased, who had teen in the employ of Mr. Blake, was, through illness, out of work fur the last fort nignt. Sate saw him last alive at midnight of Christ mas-day, and found him dead the following morning, when she brought him some warm milk. He was al lowed by the kindness of the landlord to occupy the empty room where he died, and his master gave him some coal sacks to sleep upon. He would sleep in carts, cellars, or wherever he could. When she found him dead she sent fur Drs. Mann and Bayliss, who in stantly attended. When she saw him on the midnight of Christmas-day he was v e ry wea k, an d suffered from a cough. He complained of hunger. For the last fortnight he had only one meal a day, which con sisted of tea or weak gruel. He belonged to Barnet parish, but was too weak to go to it. She did not kno a - what his wages were.—(Several persons, " Six pence a day.") On Monday night deceased, who was then weakiand faint, went to her roam and asked her for a piece of bread, which she gave, and made him sit before the fire. Four weeks ago he was very ill, and applied to Ihe workhouse for relief, which he did not get. Mr. Mann, parish surgeon, examined—He was called to see deceased at three o'clock on Christmas day, on a parish order. He found deceased lying in au exhausted state in a room completely denuded of every earthly comfort. Witness soon telt the deceased required food and not medicine. Deceased could scarcely speak. Witness recommended hie reception into the workhouse, and on the bask of his medical order wrote the following certificate :—" I hereby certify that John Becknell is a fit object for admit tance into the house, or the overseers should make such arrangements a, they thought proper. Urgent." Deceased died from exhaustion produced by the want of the necessaries of life. Witness wrote on the beck of the certificate, that deceased wanted food, and not medicine. He found deceased lying on a heap of sacks. Mr. Crowder (overseer)--I was in the workhouse when the order arrived, but it was so illegibly written I could not read it. Mr. Mann—l wrote it the best way I could in deceased's room. C3RONER—As a medical man, you have the power to order nourishment. Instead of writing so politely you should have given the order. Mr. Mann—l stand corrected on that point. I was wrong. But being only a few months in office, I was not aware I had that power. CORONER—TaiI will be a lesson in future to you. It was your duty to order deceased every nourish ment. Were I the overseer your order would have puzzled me. Mr. Crowder—l sent deceased a shilling and a loaf. CORONER—What the deuce use was the shilling, when he had no nurse, clothes, or food ?—(Hear.) Mr. Fetch (overseer)—Deceased had been twice sent back to his pariah, and perhaps was, therefore, afraid to apply for relief lest he might be punished. CORONER—If a sick pauper enters your parish, and you give him a medical order, you instantly acknow ledge him as your own pauper, and he is therefore en titled to relief. A Juror—l understand that he applied for relief, which was refused, and that he was threatened with a prosecution if he again applied. CORONER—The doctor's request should have been complied with, and the deceased admitted to the work - house, as he was in a dying state. Mr. Mann—l am of opinion that a bath and nourishment would have done him good. When I saw him he was rapidly sinking. CORONER—It is lamentable to see the poor dying in this way. In future do you (addressing the medical officer), when you meet a similar case, order wine, stout, meat, baths, and everything it requires. .I%.ir. Mann—l shall d o so. Mr. Fetch assured the Court that such orders were always obeyed. Mary Victory, a most destit u t e - locking creature, said that she was the mother of four children, and that her husband, a plasterer e had been 11 weeks out of work. She knew deceased, and on last Tuesday applied to the workhouse on his behalf. Tee, porter at the gate seil that there were rio gentlemen there, and that therefore she was too late. As she had to go out to wash, and had to give the children their dinner, she could not go back to the workhouse. On Wednesday morning she went io search of Mr. Titmouse, the churclewarden ' but could not find him. At one o'clock th e same day she told Mr. Fetch, at the workhouse, that deceased was dying, and that she could not attend him, as she had to earn bread for her own family. He gave her a medical order, which she /N I 1., Wmtektra If., Mann, who soon attended.

There is every reason to expect that the quarter': revenue will show a very trifling decrease, if any, when compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, notwithstanding the reductions which the Chancellor of the Exchequer was able to make in the last session. The brick duties, 700,0004 a year, we re wholly abandoned an yet wa find the Excise so prosperous, in the other items, as scarcely to miss the total loss in this. The buoyancy of the revenue of Excise is one of the mos , convincing and conclusive proofs of the wide-spread pro sperity and occupation or the grea' mass of the people. The Stamps, although greatly reduced, will not exhibit the signs of that reduction in full in the present quarter, since a great increase of business, which was kept back for the mango, will probably show its effect upon the present quarter, which, to its full extent, cannot be hoped for again. The Customs fluctuate, but will show wall in spite of the great reductions that have taken place. These are the chief items which mark the state of the country. The others will probably vary verb little, and will be shown by the tabular returns In the mean time the large amount of public deposits exhibited in the weekly returns of the Bank of England, amounting to the sum of nearly half a million of increase weekly, shows that the debtor and creditor account of the Chancellor of the Exchequer stands well, and that his balance at the end of the financial year is more likely to increase than to be diminished, notwithstanding the taxes he has relaxed or reduced, and the sums that arc in course of expenditure in liquidation of the public debt.—Sunday Paper. MAIL STATIONS: SOUTHAMPTON AND THE U.S. LINE OF-BATTLE-SHIP PENNSYLVANIA. Great Efforts are being made by the Mayor and leading gentlemen of Southampton to promote its interests as a mail station. Memorials have been addressed to the Presi dent of the United States, requesting that Southampton may be made the port of debarkation for the United States" line - of-battle-ship Pennsylvania on her arrival with the contributions of the West to the Exposition of 1851. Negotiations have been opened with the railway company to convey them free to tht metropolis ; and steam commanders are being moved to publish testimonials to the value of Southampton as a port for steamers of all burden.

IMPUDENT ATTEMPT AT ROLDEIEY.—on Monday evening a lad went into the shop of Mr. Shepperley, silver smith, Long-row, and asked for a lead pencil. Mr. S., who was engaged at the back part of the shop, replied that they did sot sell them, and the boy went out. Previous to his doing this, however a woman who was s t an di ng near the e ntrance observed him take a watch from the work-board, ar.d as he was coming out she shook her fist at him. He im mediately perceived that his trick was discovered, and, without a minute's hesitation, dropped the watch, and then struck the poor woman a violent blow, which knocked her down. Some persons endeavoured to secure him, but, being gifted with a nimble pair of heels, ha managed to escape ap preh€PlSiOn. Nottingham Journal. A N AmrBIC.SN JUDGE.--" When I was travelling to Massachusetts, seine twenty years ago," said a traveller, " I had a seat with the driver, who, on stopping at the post office, saluted an ill-looking fellow on the step, with ' Good morning, Judge Saunders; I hope you're well, sir?' After leaving the office, I asked the driver if the man h e spoke to A cock - fight Jut wcia, gad be Yr .) 118 tidge," was really a judge? Certainly, sir, 'he replied. We had might be brought to the house. She was told that they could not fetch him before morning. When she returned there was a great change in deceased, to whom she gave three pennyworth of brandy, which he took and said, "It has warmed me ; God bless you." In the middle of the night, accompanied by her sister, she brought him a little gruel ; and raining his head on her arm, put the basin to his mouth, which, ravenous with hunger, he seized between his teeth, and would have smashed it, had she not taken it from him. She then said to him, "you are dying, pray to God to forgive you." He replied, " I have done so," and she then laid him on his side, in which position she found him dead the next morning. A few days before his death he crawled to a room where a boy was eating his dinner, and he said to the boy, "Johnny, Johnny, I am so hungry." The boy immediately handed him his dinner, which consisted of four slices of bread and butter. But deceased eat only half a slice. On the Monday before his death deceased came into her room and fell down from hunger. His groans were ter rific. She raised him up. He said he came for food, ho was EO hungry. She placed lin before the fire and gave him a piece of bread. CORONER—It is a most extraordinary thing that the poor fellow should have been left to die so fright ful and so lingering a death in this wealthy metro polis. - The CORONER. summed up at at great length, and wits great minuteness. At the close of his charge the room was cleared of strangers, and the jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned the following verdict :—" John Becknell died from exhaustion, caused by the want of the common necessaries of life. And the jury beg to tell Mr. Mann that he is much to blame for not having acted with promptness and precision, and for not having seen performed what should have been done for deceased ; and they hope that in all future similar cases he will act with more promptness, and immediately order admission to the house. The jury further expect that Mr. Mann will act on their suggestions." CORONER—I fully concur in the verdict. After the inquest the learned and worthy Coroner endorsed the summonses of the several poor wit nesses who gave evidence, with a certificate of their being proper objects for parochial relief. TAKING A GENTLEMAN'S LUG GAGE TO IRELAND. At the Chester County Court, on the 20th instant, Mr. Bower, barrister-at-law, of Birkenhead, brought an action against the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company for compensation in damages for incon venience and detention at Holyhead, in consequence of the negligence of the servants of the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Bower, was an ex tensive cotton•spinner at Manchester, and that he brought the present action not for the sake of damages, but on public grounds. Mr. Bower, with a friend named Griffith, his wife, and a party of ladies, were on a tour in North Wales in August last. On the 13th of August they booked themselves at Bangor b 3 the express train for Holyhead, and before starting saw that their luggage was properly placed for transit. When they arrived at • Holyhead, the plaintiff and Mr. Griffith got out of the carriage to look after their luggage , intending to p rocee d w ith i t at once to the hotel at Holyhead. A portion of the lug gage was on the platform, and the remainder on the luggage van. Mr. Bower and Mr. Griffith advanced to the van, to get the remainder of their luggage, when Mr. Massingberd, the station master at Holyhead, told them to stand out of the way, or " he would hurt them," or " they would be hurt," as all the luggage must go down to the pier. Mr. Bower remonstrated, but ineffectually ; and the luggage was taken to the pier. The plaintiff and Mr. Griffith fol lowed it, and when they got to the pier the luggage had been stowed in the packet amidst a great deal of other luggage. Mr. B )wer got on board the packet, and endeavoured to find his own ; bu' while doing so the landing stage was pulled away, and the packet was set in motion, and Mr. Bower. finding himself on his way to Ireland, got on the paddle-box, and with same difficulty managed to jump on to the pier, and save himself the journey. Mr. Griffith and the plaintiff then went to the station. where they saw Mr. Massingberd, with whom they remonstrated on the impropriety of his conduct. He told them, after some rudeness, that if they would describe the luggage, he would send for it, and the) should have it the next day. At six o'clock the next evening the luggage was returned. Mr. Bower and the parties had been much inconvenienced. Mr. Bower had no change of linen, Mr. Griffith haw to lie in bed while his shirt was washed, and the ladies of the party had neither combs, brushes, or anything else, in consequence of their luggage having been taken away. Had the luggage not been taken away, it was probable that the party might have returned home the same night, as Holyhead was soon found to be a very inconvenient place, and in stead of the sight of a fine open sea (as was expected) there was nothing but a mud bank. For this deten tion, and the inconvenience consequent thereon, the laid his damages at 201. For the defence, 1. was sworn by the witnesses that the express train on the 13th August was from 40 to GO minutes late ; that there were about 60 passengers, all of whom excep plaintiff' aryl his party were going to Ireland, and many having luggage there was necessarily much con fusion : that when the plaintiff asked for his luggage out of the van it was so covered up that it would be impossibki to remove it then without great delay ann inconvenience, but that Mr. 'Bower feed been t o ld b ) Mr. Massingberd that be should be conveyed to th. pier by an omnibus free of charge, and himself ann his luggage brought back (this Mr. Bower denied :) that when Mr. Bower returned he was very abusive; and threatened Mr. Massingberd that an action should be brought, when the oaths of his eight witnesses would put out of court his unsupported testimony ; that Mr. Massingberd behaved most civilly, and that the greatest diligence had been used in obtaining the restoration of the lost luggage. A porter was called, who deposed that he had received instructions to give up a portmanteau at the pier to a gentleman who wa to apply for it, but that no such application was made, or it would have been given up. His Honour, in sum ming up, said it was clear there had been negligence on the part of the servants of the company; for the ) had no right to take the luggage to the steamer, when it was only going to the station. The verdict must be for the plaintiff, but the damages the jury must assess themselves. Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 201. ri - ii,flS-IaZGHT AND CORE COMPANIES.

The circum stances were as follow :—At nine o'clock Hydral, o went into a cage, in which had been placed our largest panther, the Bengal tiger, the African lioness, and the spotted leopard, a cougar, and the hyena. The exhibition pro ceeded, and Hydralgo seemed to have the animals com pletely under his control, and the audience seemed to be both delighted and interested at the daring of the ' tamer.' The performance had progressed very nearly to its close when, from some unaccountable cause, the tiger became sulky, and refused to leap ; Hydralgo struck him with a whip, which so enraged the furious beast, that break ing through all discipline, and with one bound and a yell of fury that terrified the audience, he rushed upon him and brought him to the floor of the cage. He could do nothing; he had lost all control over the brute. Everything was in confusion ; women fainted, others screamed in terror, child ren cried, and the men seemed paralysed. It would have been all up with poor Hydralgo had not Van Amburgh, who eras on the other side of the arena, rushed to the spot. In an instant he was in the cage, and in less time than it takes me to write it, he had the enraged animal under his feet in perfect subjection, and released his friend from his perilous situation, fortunately more frightened than hurt. Van Am burgh's presence of mind, his courage and intrepidity, are deserving of all praise, which he received in three hearty cheers from the audience. For the time it lasted, about two or three minutes, it was the most exciting scene over wit nessed."—New York Paper. BEYROUT, Nov. 19.—The Romano affair is finally settled.

COURT OF BANKI?UPTCY, Dec. 28. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) THE DORKING BANK.—IN RE NEAL. This case was again adjourned for a week, by con sent, as it was originally argued before Mr. Commis sioner Goulburn. Renewed protection was granted to the bankrupt, who was one of the partners in the bank. THE CLARENCE, WINDMILL-HILL, GRAVESEND.—IN RE wero minutely examined. It was then found that there were numerous defalcations, and amongst other things a receipt was produced by the prisoner for money which had been given him to pay into a bankers,' which turned cut to be a forgery. Pending the inquiry into his ac counts he absconded, but was afterwards apprehended. Mr. W. Hayes, ledger-keeper to the banker whose receipt bad been produced, proved that it was a forgery. Several other persons deposed to having paid the pri• sorter various slime of money which were not accounted for to the complainant. On a former examieation the Magistrate refused bail in consequence of having received information that the prisoner had previously been convicted of a breach of trust while holding a situation in the Customs, and had been sentenced to seven years' transpot talon. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was commit ted to Newgate for trial. CL ERKEN WELL. On Saturday Thomas Kidd was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with annoying and threatening Mr. Robert Barrell, a beer-shopkeeper in Whitecross-street, under very aggravated circumstances. The complainant, who seemed very dejected, stated that the &tender-3 had seduced his wife, and is now cnhabiiing with her, and, not content with inflicting that son nets it jury upon him, they were nearly every day et ming to hit house j(eriag him iu the presence of his customera, and threatening hitn with violence. On the previous afternoon they visited him as usual, when the conduct of the accused was so outrageous that he deemed it necesar3 for his sale:y t o hand him over to the custody of an efiicer. Mr. TYRIVIIIIT asked the defendant what he had to say fur such vile behaviour?—He answered in a sullen manner, Nothing at all. Mr. TYRWHITT told him that his conduct was dis gusting, for, not content with robbing the complainant of the affections of his wife, he must add threats and in sult to that deep injury, and, had Mr. Barrell broken his head instead of giving him in charge, no one could have felt much surprised, or would have pitied him. The worthy Magistrate then ordered him to find good bail to keep the peace. Margaret Kelly, an Irish girl, was placed at the bar charged with stealing 27 sovereigns and some jewellery, belonging to Mr. W. Anderson, No. 4, Red Lion-street, Clerkenweil. It appeared from the evidence, that about a month ago Mrs. Anderton, from motives of charity, took the pri soner into her service to assist in the domestic work until she could obtain a situation. A week back she sud denly disappeared, and, an investigation taking place, it was discovered that she had staler] from the bedroom of her benefactor 271. in gold, and several articles of plate and jewellery. The active exertions of Fisher, a detec tive officer of the G division, being called in requisition, be traced the prisoner from London to Cork, Ireland, where he apprehended her at a low lodging-house.—She was fully committed to Newgate for trial. SOUTHWARK. iFilliam Gill, a young man of respectable connexions, many years confidential clerk to Messrs. Rosslin and Co., timber-merchants, Southwark-bridge-road, was brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with embezzling up wards of 4001, the money of his employers. Mr. Goddard, of the firm of Goddard and Eyre, the solicitors to the Merchants' and Traders' Protection As sociation, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Goddard informed the magistrate that the pri soner had for many years held the confidential situation of cashier in the prosecutors' employ. It was his duty to receive all money on the part of his employers, enter the same in the cashbook, and pay it in to the bankers. lie left the firm at the latter end of October last, when defalcations were discovered to a very large amount. A communication took place between the prosecutors and the prisoner, when the latter acknow led that be had made use of money to a large amount. He called Mr. James Jordan, who stated that he was a builder at Paddington. He purchased a quantity of timber from the prosecutors in March last, and gave a bill of ex. change for 401. 13s. 4d., payable at six months. On the sth of September he called at the prosecutor's counting house and paid the amount to the prisoner, who gave his receipt for the same. Arthur Lett, managing clerk to the prosecutor, said that he had charge of the books. On the 30th of Octo ber the prisoner left his employers. On the following day witness discovered the defalcations. He then sent for the prisoner, and on his entering the counting-house he acknowledged the fraud. William Dowse, a builder in Great Guildford•-street, stated that on the 20th of April he purchased timber from the prosecutors to the amount of 21. 93. The re c,!ipt now produced was his handwriting. Other cases having been entered into, the Magistrate committed the prisoner for trial. COLLISION ON THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAIL WAY. On Friday forenoon the inquiry which had been opened by Mr. Pearson, the county coroner, concerning the death of the three unfortunate men who lost their lives by the late collision on the York and North Mid land Railway, was resumed at the White Swan Inn, South Melford. The names of the unfortunate fellows who were killed were Joseph Garrick, aged 33, engine-driver; Martin Tindall, aged 21, stoker; and - Henry Varley, aged 55, pointsman. The inquiry being duly re-opened, Henry Wainwright, station clerk at the Old Milford Junction of the Leeds and Selby Railway, was the first witness called and examined. He knew the deceased man Varley, who had been poin!sman at the junction for many years. Saw him a few minutes before the acci dent; he was perfectly sober. Noticed that he had hold of the lever of the point to let the passenger train up the line to Leeds. The deceased, Joseph Garrick, was engine -driver of a passenger traiu passieg on the old ►ine to Leeds. Tindall was stoker of the same engine. The train had been waiting on the junction about five minutes before the accident took place, to take in passengers for Leeds from the half-past seven o'clock trai❑ from the south. The luggage train which came from York had gone on the north branch, and paised on the old line about three-quarters of an hour before the passengers train came up. The accident happened before lie was aware that any of the goods carriages were run ning back on the line. Ho had previously got into one of the passenger carriages for the purpose of proceed ing to South Melford, where he lodged. After the crash he got out and assisted two ladies from the nearest compartment where he was: one was injured in the face. There were fourteen carriages to the luggage train, and he saw that nine of the waggons had broken from the train, and had returned down the bank, coming in colli sion with the passenger train. The engine of the latter was thrown off the line and broken. I saw the body of Garrick lying between the two lines of rails. Tindall was about two yards from Garrick; his legs were off, and he was Trite dead. Do not know whether there was a break to the last carriage of the luggage train, nor whether the guard was on the last carriage. It Has his duty to have been on it. Four of the carriages that returned down the bank had breaks, and if one had been applied the train might have bee❑ stopped. Those who had charge of the lug gage train were Edward Grimston, the guard; Thomas Uorrie, the driver; and Christopher Charlton, the stoker. The nine carriages had each about three tons of goods upon them. • Other evidence being adduced relative to the mode of coupling the waggons and their strength, the coroner suggested an adjournment, the day having far advanced and the proceedings were accordingly adjourned un Monday. THE COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL WAY.—The fears that were entertained fir the fate of some of the unfortunate passengers who were hurt by the collision on the Eastern Counties line during the dense fog of Monday evening, are, to a great extent, re moved. Tho last report of the condition of the sufferers in the London Hospital speaks of their favourable pro gress. Mr. B. Cooper, the eminent surgeon, at the re• quest of the directors, on Saturday visited several of tho sufferers who had been removed to their respective dwellings, and they were also announced to be going on favourably. the official thanks of the Admiralty for their late services and their able report.

The bankrupt, George Bonny, was proprietor of the well-known Clarence Hotel, ma Windmill-hill, Graves end, and this was the first meeting under the bankruptcy for the proof of debts and choice of assignees. Messrs. Martineau and Read, of Raymond. buildings, appeared as solicitors for the petitioning creditors, Messrs. Whit bread and Co., the London brewers, who made Bonny a bankrupt on the 3d inst. for a debt of 961. odd. The total amount of the bankrupt's debts are under 1,200/, and the assets about 300/., but an execution has been put in under a bill of sale. Mr. Evans, of Basing hall-street, has been appointed to prepare the bank rupt's balance-sheet; and Mr. Philip Wonley, one of the partners of Whibread and Co., was chosen the trade as.signeo, and accepted the trust. The next meeting fir further proof of dt btu; and examination of the bankrupt is the Sth of if , .!bruary next, to which day he was pro• tected. SHOCIUNG EVENT. Mr. IlaaADer, the measpnwr, reported to the Ccurt that a bankrupt, tumid Ephrtini Godbclt, had die: 4 ce raving mad that (Sat ur d a y) morning. Ep! - Iraim and George Godbolt were builders and carpenters, at 14 and 15, C,.ilege-place, Chelsea, and on Thursday last were made bankrupts for a debt due to Mr. Joseph Lambert, merchant, of Pimlico -wharf. Notices of adjudication ;4 were served upon the bankrupts on Friday evening. 34 The bankrupt Ephraim Godbolt had previously laboured 34 under ill health, and the fact of having been made a bankrupt produced such a shock upon the nervous system that he expired in a state of raving madness. 6 I POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. In the course of the morning Mr. Ahlerman 11011- MIItT stated that the drawers in the cashier's desk, in 56 one of which the poor-box, containing the fund for dis tributing temporary relief to the deserving poor, was yy kept, bad been broken open by means of a chisel or small 34 crowbar, between the hours of seven o'clock on Thursday evening and seven o'clock on Friday morning, and 21,, a 76 donation that had been reeewly forwarded to the sitti ng . 11 Alderman for the poor-box, with about 11. ss. of other moneys, stolen therefrom. Ile said it was a most ex % traordinary thing that a court which was established for ;% the protection of the public should itself be liable to the p depredations of burglars, as was evident from the manner Od in which that particular desk had been forced. The worthy Alderman then expressed his intention to inves tigate the matter, and for that purpose directed one of the officers of the court to call in the watchmen of Guild hall-yard, who have the superintendence of the premises after the business of the day was finished. Shortly after, two of the beadles - who have the super intendence of the arrangements for the hall watchmen _ came into court, and were placed in front of the table, ice, and questioned as t o th e manner i n which the justice room had been entered by the person who took the _ money. John Wood and Sylvanus Notley said (in answer to questions from Alderman Finnis and Alderman Hum phery), that they had heard of the robbery, but could not account for the manner in which it had been done. 34 They had instructions to look after the other men, and to wa'eh the hall. They generally opened the door of the justice-room about six o'clock in the morning to let in the charwoman, and sometimes the plumbers, carpen ters, and window-cleaners. Alderman HUMPBERY thought it was evidently done by some persons thoroughly acquainted with the ar rangements of the court, as none of the other desks in the court had been tampered with in the slightest. The woman who had the cleaning of the office declared that she did not come until an hour after the door had been opened by the officer Nutley-, and then she found the door closed and fast. Besides, the breaking open of the drawers in the desk could not have been eff cted without making considerable noise, and there must be some want of caution on the part of those who were on duty, and left the place open to be robbed. Notley said that he let the bolt down fer the char woman, and then left a watchman of the name of Don nev, a supernumerary, outside the court, to look after it. - Alderman HUMPHERY—As the names of those per % sons who were on duty are down in a book in Mr. Temple's office, we must have that gentleman and the book before us, that we may be able to ascertain who are the individuals to blame. s Mr. Temple having been fetched from Guildhall, he said that he employed Wood and Notley, and had great confidence in their integrity, as they had both been a great many years in the service of the corporation. Ice. Alderman LIUZIPMERY said he th oug h t that et judicious discretion had not been exercised in placing the watchmen on duty, and in consequence some dishonest character had taken advantage of that to get into the court soon after the door had been opened. Mr. Temple said he was sorry to hear the Alderman pass such severe strictures on the characters of the men Ye before him, as it would probably tend to shake his con fidence in them. Alderman FINNIS said that it was a subject that re quired to be well sifted, and until such was done the two men, as superintendents of the watchmen, ought to be suspended. In ;inner to a question from Alderman IlumrHzey, 3: Mr. Temple said that these men had 283. per week, and the watchman 21s. in wint , T. Alderman IlumeHEnr was of opinion wilh Alderman Finnis that the two men before him otNht to be sus- Fended until the matter was brought properly before the ' Court of Aldermen. The two men pleaded hard not to be suspended, as it was a part of their duty to open the doors of the court at an early hour to allow the woman to come in and light the furnaces. Alderman FIUMPHERY said that after it had been in vestigated, if it were found that they were free from 34 censure they would get the money for the time of their suspension; but until then they must adopt the same mode of proceeding as the Commissioners of Police did under similar circumstances. The matter then dropped, on the understanding that it would be inquired into before the Court of Aldermen. Alderman WILSON said he had visited a young child that was at present in the hospital, in consequence of having been knocked down on Friday of ernoon by the cab that was conveying Mr. Sloane from this court to ht the Compter, and be was happy to say that she had re ceived no injuries of a serious nature. Alderman LIUMPHERY said, he would take care that the subject of the necessity of a prison van for trans mitting the prisoners from the Compter to this court and back should 13,3 brought before the notice of the next Court of Aldermen. The corporation had already a prison van, and the only question for consideration was the expense of a horse to work it and a man to drive. It was by far the safer mode for the transit of criminals, and he hoped the corporation would adopt it. Alderman BUYLPHERY acknowledged the receipt of 201 as a donation from the Goldsmiths' Company to the poor-box; also 61., being the amount of damage awarded and fine imposed for surreptitiously burning the gas of the Gaslight and Coke Company, from the said company, for the poor-bt x. Alderman WILSON acknowledged 1/. for Jane Wilbred, from " Anonymous." At the conclusion of the general busitess of the court, and as the Alderman was about to leave it, the cabman who Lad been ergaw d to drive Mr. Sloane to the Comp ter applied to know who was to pay him for the damage done to his vehicle by the violence of the infuriated mob. He stated that the plate-glass windows were literally smashed, and the doors put completely out of order. The varnish and paint were grazed off the sides of the cab in consequence of the polieman hanging on to keep off the people, who impeded him at every stop. Mr. Roe, having coacmunicated with Alderman Hum phery, paid the man 14 for the damage and fare, and gave him 2s. 6d. for the loss of time he sustained in hav ing to rpply for the money. The cabman appeared very glad on receiving the full amount of damage that he claimed, and expressed a de termination never to run such risk again, if he knew it beforehand. MARYLEBONE. William Reed, a determined-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Long upon the following serious charge, preferred against him by Mr. Thomas Potter, a member of the board of guardians and directors of the parish of St. Marylebone:— Complainant, who resides at No. 73, Crawford-street, deposed that on the previous evening the prisoner came to his house and demanded relief. The servant told him that he (complainant) was engaged, and that he must call again, upon which lie became very abusive and threatening. Mr. Potter added, that in consequence of the noise which he heard at his shop door he went out, and, seeing the prisoner, asked him what he wanted? to which he replied, " I wish to know if you mean to do anything for me?" He (Mr. Potter) told him to go to Mr. Messer, the relieving-officer, or to Mr. Scaice, if he wanted work in the stoneyard, when he exclaimed, " D—n Mr. Scaice; if I don't have relief hare I'll be revenged, and I'll try what a bit of cold steel will do." Prisoner, who was somewhat the worse for drink, was given into custody, and at the station-house he again threatened to give complainant some "cold steel," when ever an opportunity offered. Prisoner (looking savngely at complainant)—And so I mean to do, and that's all about it. Mr. Potter—This man, Sir, is a most determined character. About two years ago he hroke my windows by throwing stones and other missiles, and upon that ecasion my niece, who was in the shop, narrowly es caped being killed by a large pieco of granite, which passed close to her head. Mr. Loac (to prisoner)—you have used threats of a most serious and alarming nature towards this gentle man. D.) you mean still to say that you intend to murder him ? Prisoner—Yes, I do. Mr. Lore —Then it is my duty to give him all the protection in my power. The bail I shl.ll require of you will be, 3 curself in 1001. and two sureties in 50'. each, for your keeping the peace for the next :ix months. As it %as impossible for him to procure the bail, he will be imprisdneci for the whole p , ricd alluded to. Mr. LONG received from the Goldsmiths' Company their ant,nal donation of 201. fur the poor-box of this count, IVOR SIIIP-S7REET Frederick George Jones, recently a confidential clerk in the service of Mr. Wilmot Landridge, a lime-burner at Rochester, was charged with having defrauded his employers to the amount of 2001. The prosecutor stated that he was induced from charitable motives to take the prisoner (whose character 'had been seriously affected) into his employ.

Into Liver pool and Runcorn the imports consist of a liberal supply of Oats and Oatmeal srl,m Ireland, and of Wheat and Flour from abroad; but of other produce the arrivals are only on a moderate scale. Our market this morning be u morn f i ,t n e g d was exceedingly lifeless, ar.d Wheat must again turn c!teapor. In the little business passing in Flour a reduction of 61 to is per sack was submitted to by holders. Oats receded in value Id per 451 b., and Oatmeal 3d per load.
