The rumour even went so far as to mention another advance of the Prussian troops to support General Peucker's protest, but this statement, as it is unsupported by other intelligence, appears of course unfounded, or (to say the least) premature. Considerable anxiety was felt at Frank fort respecting the issue of the struggle in Hesse. The following dispatch, dated Vienna the 17th instant, has been addressed by Prince Schwartzen berg to only a very few of the important Ministers of the Emperor in foreign countries : " You have been informed by my dispatch of the 27th alt. that the Baron de Manteuffel had demanded of me in the most earnest manner an interview, and that some hours later he informed me by the telegraph that, in pur suance of the positive orders of the King of Prussia, he should proceed to Olmutz without even waiting for my answer. His Majesty the Emperor considered it his duty to meet the wishes so ardently expressed by the King. I consequently received the order to repair to Olmutz, where I conferred, on the 27th and 29th ult., with the Minister, M. de Manteuffel. It was necessary to vanquish great difficulties, in order that an effort at arrangement could at that moment produce any result. But we did not for a single instant forget how many interests were at stake if, in the actual position of Europe, a conflict between Austria and Prussia was not avoided; and we fully recognised how favourable was the concourse of circumstances to enable us to meet on such an occasion the sincere efforts of so decided a representative of the peace party in Prussia. Oar sincere desire was to co operate in these effort=, and to contribute as much as possible in ensuring to them a victory over passions and fatal pretensions. We have, then, been very much dis posed to prove by all means in our power that we were ♦ery far from profiting by the immense advantages of our position to humiliate Prussia, or to deprive her of the por tion of influence she is justly entitled to. We, moreover, sought to appreciate the benefits which would result from a sincere reconciliation as highly as our duties permitted to U 3. The subjoined protocal contains the result of the conferences at Olmutz. This protocol has received the approval of the Emperor, our most gracious master, and also, as I learn from a dispatch from Berlin, that of his Majesty the King of Prussia. We have just recom mended it to our allies, in order that they may equally give it their approval. It will not escape your notice that the Imperial Cabinet while consenting to a cessation of the isolated position of Prussia in the affairs of the Germanic Confederation, will not have desired to make any sacrifice which could not have been male without prejudice to the essential object of the policy followed by Austria and by the other German Governments that have remained faithful to their duties as members of the Confederation. In order to understand that it could not be otherwise, it is sufficient to cast a glance on the position we occupied previous to the Conferences of Olmutz, and on that we shall be ready to take in consequence of these Confer ferences. Austria entered into the lists to maintain the Federal Constitution of Germany created by treaties. It became our duty to enforce our absolute rights on this fundamental question, in which the foreign Powers them selves, as it appears to us, could not remain completely, andavithout danger, neutral. From tho very commence ment we have acted with confidence in the moral force of this position, and we have renounced, with general approbation, any thought of exer cising the least constraint with respect to the members of the Confederation who thought they could withdraw themselves frcm the recognition of the legal organ of the Confedration. When these members of the Confederation became thus excluded from their task of watching in common over the affairs of the Con federation the measures of execution were necessarily limited to repel the attacks that might b 3 attempted against the action of the Federal I)iet, acting in virtue of the appeal that might be made on it by the States which recognized it. It became necessary for us to prevent such attacks, and we did so by the obtaining from Prussia, from the commencement of the last month, the solemn assurances that the execution of the Federal decisions in Electoral Hesse and in Holstein should not encounter any opposition. "Prussia has corroborated those assurances at Olmutz. In place of a simple laissez-faire, which was not without grave inconvenience, she has offered her acti►e co-opera tion in the sense of the Federal decisions. Under these circumstances it becomes necessary to appreciate the great value of this recent and happy change, with refer ence to the grave questions which affect the Confederation. We have disclaimed all pretensions of a share in the di rection of the Federal affairs outside of legal forms, and disclaimed such so long as it could be feared that a con cession in this respect might become, in the hands of those who were lately our adversaries, a means of calling in ques tion the fundamental basis of the Confederation, and the accomplishment of its duties, and of thus putting in peril the equilibrium and the peace of Europe. But if these fears were successfully removed, if positive guarantees could be obtained that the action of Prussia would be in harmony with the object of the Confederation, we ought to suggest to ourselves the question if in this ease it would not be more advantageous for the Federal body as for all Europe, while awaiting a complete re organisation of the Confederation, to open once more to the members who were not any longer separated from us but by mere difficulties of form the means of partici pation in the affairs of the Confederation. " The Imperial Cabinet could not hesitate to reply in the affirmative to this question in presence of the engagements contracted by Prussia at Olmutz. Even some time previously the Constitution of the Union of the 28th of May, 1849, had been abandoned, and there was consequently a probability that the deliberations commenced with respect to the revision of the Federal Pact might be arranged so as to secure the approbation of all its members, Commander Walker (lite Queen's Earbour Master of Plymouth), has been appointed to a similar office at the Plymouth Marine Board. SOUTH EASTERN Ranwa.v.—The removal of the 91st Regim, nt from Dover to the Northern District com menced yesterday (Friday). The men appeared, on pass ing our office, in good order, and fresh for any service, notwithstanding they had travelled 100 miles, thanks to the efficient and judicious arrangements of the authori ties of the South-Eastern Railway. OFFENSIVE EXPOSERE.—A practice exists in a regi ment not one hundred miles from Portsmouth, and, for aught we know, in several others in different garrisons, which we think it would be very advisable to abolish. We allude to the custom of causing the men to appear once a week before the surgeon of the regiment, and to submit to an examination as offensive to their own sense of decency as to the medical officer who is compelled to the inspection. It is quite against the spirit of the age that such usages should be permitted to continue. There is little use in the practical efforts to introduce a healthy moral tone into the army, by separating the single from the married men, if the self-respect of the troops is otherwise offended. For all purposes of health, it would be easy to trust to the volunteer applications of the men for radical assistance, or to an examination of features, pulse, and tongue. An experienced surgeon can tell at a glance if a soldier is in good health, or otherwise, in spite of attempts at simulation; and the men themselves are so thoroughly aware of this, that endeavours to " do " the doctor are rarely resorted to with any prospect of success. We cannot enter more fully into the particulars of the practice we reprobate. Our remarks will, we her, be sufficiently understood to induce the commanding officers who still countenance the disgusting usage to order its abolition forthwith. " I twas for these reasons that it was agreed a Olmuts to act in common and`irk o conform ity E for l m ec i t t o y ra w l it u h e the t decisions of the Diet in the affairs and of Holstein. In this sta te of affairs we were i He ena bled to undertake to pe rsuade the Elector the rnot p t r o uslan con tinue his reclamations agai nst the stay of troops in his states, and to suggest that by an express request addressed to the Prussian Government he should afford that Government an opportunity of taking part— without any violation of the law—in the measures in tended to pacify the country. " As for Holstein it was the decisions adopted at Frankfort, in the name of the Confederation, in which Russia undertook to co-operate. It is a great satisfac tion to us that the execution so warmly desired by all the Powers who signed the treatry concluded with Den mark, is one of the first objects for the accomplishment of which the members of the Germanic Confederation 'have again united." LAW INTELLIGENCE: COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 28. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) THE DORKING BANK.—IN RE NEAL. were 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 out to be a forgery. Pending the inquiry into his ac counts he absconded, but wai afterwards apprehended. Mr. W. Hayes, ledger-keeper to the bauke: whose receipt had been produced, proved that it was a forgery. Several other parsons deposed to hrlving p-dd the pri• soner various sums of money which were not accounted for to the complainant. Oa a former examination the Magistrate refused bail in consequence of having received information that the prisoner bad previously been convicted of a breach of trust while holding a situation in the Customs, and had been sentenced to seven years' transportation. The prisoner, who reserved his defence, was commit ted to Newgate for trial. CLERKENWELL. 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 On Saturday Thomas Kidd was brought befaro Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with annoying and threatening Mr. Robert Barrel!, a beer-shopkeeper in Whitecross-street, under very aggravated circumstances. The complainant, who seemed very dejected, stated that the defendant had seduced his wife, and is now cohabiting with her, and, not content with inflicting that serious injury upon him, they were nearly every day ccming to his house jeering him in the presence of his customers, and threatening him with violence. On the previous afternoon they visited him as usual, when the conduct of the accused was so outrageous that ho deemed it necessary fur his safety to hand him over to the custody of an officer. Mr. TYRWHITT asked the defendant what he had to say for such vile behaviour?—Hu answered in a sullen manner, Nothing at ail. the official thanks of the Admiralty for their late services and their able report. Professor Moseley has recently presented to the Admi ralty an excellent paper on the rolling motion of ships, which the Admiralty hare rent round to all their depart ments for their information. 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. Barrall 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. Anderton, No. 4, Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Arrogant steam-frigate, Captain Robinson, arrived at Spithead this morning from Lisbon, which she left on the 20 , h, and sailed home. The qualities of this ship are spolc(4l of in the very highest terms of commendation, which we believe she fully deserves. As an efficient auxiliary steam ship we think she has no equal. About 200 miles off the Lizard she spoke the Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliot, bound for the Tagus. The Arrogant has come home to refit. She brought Mr. Taylor, Master of the Encounter, in valided, and sundry other supernumeraries. Having been absent more than six months, she saluted the Port Admiral on making Spithead. Commander Thomas Thompson has been appointed Shipping Master and Examiner in Seamanship of the Leith Marine Board; and Commander Walker (late Queen's Harbourmaster at Devonport) has been ap pointed to a similar office at the Plymouth Marine Board. The Winchester, 50, in this port, is, we believe, the ship selected as the flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, to relieve the Wellesley, 72, and Earl Dandonald, on the West India station. The Admiral's son, Captain G. IL Seymour, will be his flag-captain. The Portland, 50, Captain Henry Chads, flag of Rear- Admiral Moresby, C. 8., arrived at Madeira. from De vonport, on the 231 ult., and sailed thence for the Pa cific, to relieve the Asia, 84, and Rear-Admiral P. Hornby, C.B. The Hogue, 60, Captain Macdougall, arrived at Queenstown from this port on Thursday. The Mermaid convict-ship embarked her prisoners from Parkhurst Juvenile Retormatocy, and the convict establishment at Portland, on Saturday, and returned to Spithead this morning, to await orders from the Colo nial office. 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 tha 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 st )fen 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, he traced the prisoner from London to Cork, Ireland, where ho apprehended her at a low lodging-house.—She was fully committed to Newgate for trial. SOUTIIWARK. WooLwrcu, DEC. 28.—Two assistant-surgeons, ap pointed to-day to be borne on the books of the Imauw, at Jamaica, have received notice to hold themselves iu readiness t:) proceed insmedia':ely to the West Indies, to render their assistance while the cholera is so prevalent in that quarter. The Fearless steam-vessel had har steam up in the trisin on Friday, to try her engines, and is expected to return to the eastward for service at Devonport. The Volcano steam-sloop, Commander Rivers, left Greenhithe yesterday morning, and Mr. Trickett, assist ant to the chief engineer, was on board to ascertain her speed at the measured mile in Sea Reach, and after the trial she was to hold on for Devonport. The Princess Alice, Dover trail steam-packet, left thi.3 port to-day, to resume her duties on the Dover station. William Gill, a young man of respectable connexions, many years confidential clerk to Messrs. Rosslin and Co., timber-merchants, B)uthw irk-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 bad 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. He left the firm at the latter end of October las*, when defalcations were discovered to a very large amount. A conornunicwien took place between the prosecutors and the prisoner, when the latter acknowled that he had made use of money to a large amount. He called Mr. James Jordan, who stated that ho wee 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 prosecutir's counting house and paid the amount to the prisoner, who gave his receipt for the same. Arthur Lett, managing clerk t ) 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. 9s. The re ceipt 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 forencon the inquiry which had been opeEei 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 Cyclops, 6, steam-frigate, of 320 horse power, Captain the Hon. George F. Hastings, on the coast of Allies since Sept'mber, 1848, is ordere , l to return to Woolwich to be paid off on being relieved by the Samp son steam-frigate, commissioned at Devonport for that purpose by Capt. Lewis T. Jones. 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, staq-,n clerk at the Old Milford Junction of the Leeds and Selby Railway, was the first witness called and examined. He knew the deceased man Varloy, who had been pointsman at the junction for many years. Sew him a few minutes before the acci dent; he was perfectly sob r. Netieed 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 train paesitz on the old line 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 train from the south. The luggage train which came from Yoik had gone on the north branch, and passed on the old line about three-quarters of an hour before the passengers train came up. The accident happened before he was aware that any of the goods carriages were run ning back on the line. He had previously got in.° 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 quite 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 was 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 been stopped. Those aho had charge of the lug gage train were Edward Grimaton, the guard; Thomas Corrie, 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 ad canoed, and the proceedings were accordingly adjourned until Monday. THE COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAIL. wAy.—Tbe fears that were entertained for the fate of some of the unfortunate passengers who were hurt by the colli,ion on the Eastern Counties line during the dense fog of Monday evening, are, to a great extent, re moved. The 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 the sufferers who had been removed t ) their respective dwellings, and they were also announved to be going on favourably.

He ha s s i nce been taking regular work, and is as well as ever; Vol tigeur is at his old quurters, and doing steady work. CANDLESTICKS ON TIIE ALTAR.—SOMe dissatis factionhas been expressed in this town at the appearance of a pair of brass candlesticks on the altar of the church, and a complaint having been made to the Bishop, the following letter has been sent by his Lordship to the vicar, the Rev. W. R. Newbolt. We understand that up to a recent period, the rev. gentleman was in the habit of sending a pair of silver candlesticks from his own house to be used in lighting the edifice, and the appearance of the present obnoxious articles was caused by the churchwardens having purchased them, because the lent candlesticks were not always taken sufficient care of :—" The Palace, Wells, Oct. 2i, 1850. My dear Sir—l lose no time Ia replying to your letter of yesterday. I consider the candlestieks upon your commu nion table in the church as one of the legitimate orna ments in a church, and in your case they are more than ornaments, as by your statement they are in frequent use, supplying light to a part of the church which would otherwise be in entire darkness. I con sider also that they were legitimately placed there by the churchwardens, who are officers acting under the ordi nary, and I, as ordinary, have no objection to their being placed there. I cannot, therefore, conceive under what sup posed right or authority any indifferent person interferes in the matter.— I am, lily dear Sir, faithfully yours, BATII and WELLS."— Sherborne Journal. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT TUE EXHIBITION BUILD niG.--On Saturday morning a shocking accident occurred at the erection for the grand Exhibition of 1851. It ap pears that one of th e men, named Smit h was at work a one of the gutters, when by some misfortune he fell to the ground, between 50 and 60 feet below. He was picked up in a senseless state, and conveyed to St. George's Hospital where it was discovered both his legs were fractured; an d his head having come in contact with a projection-of the iron-work, the ball of his eye was smashed ; but, notwith standing these and other injuries, great hopes are entertained of his recovery.

The circum stances were as follow :—At nine o'clock Hydralgo 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 au 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 Amburgb, whe was 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."—Netv York Paper. - BEYROUT, Nov. 19.—The Romano affair is finally settled. Kiaja Bey and Said Pacha have been dis missed from the service, and the family of the murdered mart received 30,000 piastres.— Jewish Chronicle. BONNY. The bankrupt, George Bonny, was proprietor of the well-known Clarence Hotel, on 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 1,2001., acci the assets about 3001., 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 Woraley, one of the partners of Whitbread and Co., was chosen the trade assignee, and accepted the trust. The next meeting for further proof of debts and examination of the bankrupt is the Bth of February next, to which day he was pro tected. SHOCKING EVENT. Mr. Hamber, the messenger, reported to the Court that a bankrupt, named Ephraim Godbolt, had died raving mad that (Saturday) morning. Ephraim and George Godbolt were builders and carpenters, at 14 and 15, College-place, Chelsea, and on Thursday last were made bankrupts for a debt due to Mr. Joseph Lambert, merchant, of Pimlico-wharf. Notices of adjudication were served upon the bankrupts on Friday evening. The bankrupt Ephraim Godbolt had previously laboured under ill-health, and the fact of having been made a bankrupt produced such a shook upon the nervous s) stem that he expired in a state of raving madness. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. In the course of the morning Mr. Alderman IIUK• PIIERY stated that the drawers in the cashier's desk, in one of which the poor-box, containing the fund for dis tributing temporary relief to the deserving poor, was kept, had been broken open by means of a chisel or small crowbar, between the hours of seven o'clock on Thursday evening and seven o'clock on Friday morning, and 21., a donation that had been recen.ly forwarded to the sitting Alderman for the poor-box, with about 1/. ss. of other moneys, stolen therefrom. He said it was a most ex traordinary thing that a court which was established for the protection cf the public should itself be liable to the depredations of burglars, as was evident from the manner 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 intendendo of the arrangements for the hall watchmen came into court, and were placed in front of the tible, and questioned as to the manner in which the justice roam had been entered by the person who took the money. John Wood and S 3 Ivanus 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 !he manner in which it bad been done. They had instructions to look after the other men, and to watch 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 HUMPHERY 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 effice declared that she did not come until an hour after the door had been opened by the officer Notley, and then she found the door closed and fast. Besides, the breaking open of the drawers in the de k 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 far the char woman, and then left a watchman of the name of Don ney, a supernumerary, outside the court, to look after it. Alderman El ITINIPTIERY—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. 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 greet many years in the service of the corporation. Alderman HUMPHERY said he thought that a judicious discretion had not been exercised in placing the watchmen on duty, and in consequocce some dishonest character had taken advantage of that to get into the court soon after the door bad been opened. Mr. Temple said he was sorry to hear the Alderman pass such severe strictures on the characters of the men 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 answer to a que3tion from Alderman Hu➢IpIIER7, Mr. Temple said that thew men had 28s. per week, and the watchman 21s. in winter. Alderman HUMPHERY was of opinion with Alderman ',lnnis that the two men before him ought to be sus rended 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 I.II3IIIPHERY said that after it had been in vestigated, if it were found that they were free from 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 afternoon by the cab that was conveying Mr. Sloane from this court to the Compter, and he was happy to say that she had re ceived no injuries of a serious nature. Alderman - HuatesEnv said, ho 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 be brought bef.,re 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 wculd adopt it. Alderman lIUMPIIERY 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-box. Alderman WILSON acknowledged 1/. for Jane Wilbred, from " Anonymous." At the conclusion of the general business of the court, and as the Alderman was about to leave it, the cabman who tad been engaged 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 a indows 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 step. Mr. Roe, having communicated with Alderman Hum phery, paid the man 1/. for the damage and faro, and gave him 2s. 6d. for the loss of time he sustained in hav ing to apply 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, wes brought bofore 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 he 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 knew 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 here 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 savagely at complainant)—And so I mean to'do, and that's 5111 about it. Mr. Potter—This man, Sir, is a most determined character. About two years ago he broke my windows by throwing stones and other missiles, and upon that occasion my niece, who was in the shop, narrowly es caped being killed by a large piece of granite, which passed close to her head. Mr. Lone (to prisoner)—You have used threats of a most serious and alarming nature towards this gentle man. Do you mean still to say that you intend to murder him ? Prisoner—Yes, I do. Mr. Lorrc —Then it is my duty to give him all the protection in my power. The bail I shall require of you will be, yourself in 1001. and two sureties in 50. each, for your keeping the peace for the next six months. As it was impossible for him to procure the bail, he will be imprisoned for the whole period alluded to., Mr. LONG received from the Goldsmiths' Company their annual donation of 201, for the poor-box of this court. WORSHIP-STREET. Frederick George Jones, recently a confidential clerk in the service of Mr. Wilmot Landridge, a lime-burner et 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. He made him manager of a branch business in town. At first his conduct was g ood, but subsequently his habits bec ame so expensive th at suspicions were raised, and his acce)unts NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS.

Into Liver pool and Runcorn the imports consist of a liberal supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Wheat and Flour from abroad; but of other produce the arrivals are only on a moderate scale. Our market this morning was exceedingly lifeless, ar.d Wheat must again b e note d the turn cheaper. In le little business passing in Flour a reduction of 6d to is per sack was submitted to by holders. Oats receded in value ld per 451 b., and Oatmeal 3d per lo id.

Wheat, owing to the large stocks on hand, and the con tinued importations of the article, is very dull. All other kinds of grain remain as they were last week, but, in the absence of any active business, quotations are alto gether nominal. The flour trade also is languid and . inactive, and stocks of the article accumulate. Barrels.
