This circumstance is nothing less than the official communication addressed in Feb ruary to M. BRUNNOW, by Count NESSELRODE, ex pressive of the indignant astonishment with which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has viewed the recent movements of the British squadron at the Pirreus. An interposition or remon strance of this character coming from the Russian Government, to say the very least of it, is a huge and glaring impertinence, an impertinence than which the annals of diplomacy do not furnish us with an instance of more preposterous extravagance. What, the Cabinet of the AUTOCRAT presuming to charge England with precipitation and duplicity ! What, an accusation of this fligrant kind levelled against the Ministerial Councils of Great Britain by that power which connived at the insurrec tionary movement in GliciP, that power which adventured upon the absorption of the Craco vian principality, that power which dared to pene trate beyond the mountainous frontiers of Transyl vania, and to carry terror, and havoc, and devestatioh into the provinc€ sof Hungary ! Is England—thrice deceived as she has been in this atrociou , , manner by NLcuoLAs—is England, wlatse sentiments were never referred to, whose feelings were never consulted, whose interests were never regarded until after the embroilment of Gallicia, the occupation of Cra cow, and the invasion of Hungary —is England ignored again and again by the CZAR and his Ministerial advisers—to be taunted thus insolently by that potentate and those minions of his despotism, and by them to be charged, forsooth, above all, with duplicity and precipitation ? The audacity, not to say the indecency of the accusation, coming as it does from such arch-criminals in the way of duplicity and precipitation, is so surpassingly monstrous as to render almost impossible anything like adequate reprobation. If nothing else throughout the whole of this audacious document demanded the scorn of England, the opening sentence would inevitably do so. "No sooner," says the note of NESSELRODB, "no sooner had the dangers that menaced the peace of Europe, and caused by the precipitation with which Admiral PARKER entered the Dardanelles, been removed than the appearance of his squadron on the coast of Greece perilled it anew. Russia finds it difficult to comprehend this anxiety to create complications in the east at a period when the repose of the west is exposed to so many dangers." Russia finds it difficult to comprehend any attempt to create complication ! Russia, who twice complicated the affairs of partitioned Poland ! Russia, who endangered the tranquillity, not only of eastern, but also of western and central Europe, by its recent connivance in the conspiracies and participation in the butcheries carried on under the authority of the Austrian Go vernment ! For ourselves, in reference to the recent conduct of Sir WILLIAM PARKER, we can only re cognise in his latest movements additional corrobora tions of our estimate of the policy adopted by him ever since his appointment to the supreme command of the squadron in the Mediterranean. Those pro. ceedings of his which have transpired since the publication of our opinion upon his conduct as a British Admiral entrusted with tremendous respon sibilities during a period of awful emergency, appear to us to have only most emphatically justified our panegyrics. With a promptitude worthy of his an tecedents along the eastern and western coasts of Italy, and subsequently at the entrance of the Dar danelles, he proceeded directly, boldly, and openly to the shores of Greece for the purpose of bringing to a close a complication of calamitous intrigues, and of preventing the continuance of a con temptible and ruinous procrastination. But it is objected by the Russian diplomatist that no rea sonable, or rather just and necessary, intimation of any such intended movement was previously given to the Cabinets of Paris and St. Petersburgh. And this from the Minister of the AUTOCRAT ! " Greece," says he, "is a state created by Russia and France, in virtue of the same rights, and on the same terms, as it was by England." Equally well might it have been remonstrated, much more rationally might it ' have been remonstrated by L Drd PALMER STON in 1847—" Cracow is a state created by England and France in virtue of the same rights and on the same terms as it was by Russia." But the pertness—for the matter is not deserving any more dignified designation—the pertness of the subsequent inuenloes defies anything like a parallel...,'" It is true," says the document, " that England communicated to Russia a list of her claims, but judging from the infirmation supplied by the opposite party they appeared some what exaggerated." Was ever such petty spite exhibited in the way of a hinted belief of a fraudulent transaction ; and this, be it remembered, not from one gossip to another on the occasion of a temporary " tiff," not from Mrs. BETSY PRIG to Mrs. SAIREY GAMP, but from the Councils of his Imperial Majesty the Ere reeme of all the Russias indirectly to the Councils of her most Gracious Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND! The circumstance, we believe, will speak for itself— the circumstance of this insolent and splenetic re monstrance coming in a round-about way to the knowledge of the Cabinet of St. James's, through M. BRUNNOW, through a note addressed to him by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh itself, speaking through the lips of Count NESSELRODE! An aphoristical writer has observed, that we should seldom have a very great desire to obtain any object if we had a perfect knowledge of what we desire to possess—a remark that can be justly applied to the Sabbatarians. Their ignorance and narrow-minded ness, together with their gross infatuation, that among themselves are exclusively congregated all the virtues that adorn the human heart, and all the wisdom ( f men, past, present, and to come, may lead us to mingle pity with our contempt for their fanatical aberrations. But out of evil comes good ; and it affords matter for congratulation, that whilst a few stray petitions find their way to the table of the House of Commons for the suppression throughout the country of Sunday labour in connexion with the Post-office, we have, every now and then, emanating from the press, in every variety of form, and from writers, clerical as well as laical, and as unimpeach able for their piety as they are remarkable for their intelligence, arguments and reflections, and accurate information, to prevent the public mind from being misled upon a subject of vast social im portance. The Sabbatarian case is precisely of that specious nature wherein the plausible bigot may easily entrap the consciences of the ill-informed and weak, though virtuous-minded portions of the cornmunity. We owe a deep debt of gratitude, then, to those who enter the field of controversy, and calmly and antagonistically array themselves to prevent one of the greatest social exigencies from being unwar rantably interfered with by the overweening conceits of obtrusive and pseudo-religionists. Moreover, the contest may ultimately serve this end—albeit a far fetched,' supposition—that the Sabbatical agitators may, in the long run, be themselves awakened to the folly of their proceedings. But when once bigotry has usurped the throne of reason, to the restoration of the latter human pride, with superstition for its con comitant, offers tedious impediments. We have loodced in vain for any cogent reasons for the cessa tion of a Sunday post delivery throughout the country. - Were the desired object to be conceded, how much more concession should we not be called upon to make in order to be consistent in principle ! If we :were to relieve a few Yost office t l e , office clerks from their duties on a Sunday, which they have voluntarily undertaken, upon ground that they should have full leisure for spiritual elevation on that day, the same argument could be irresistibly adrenced for enforcing the cessation of all travelling on the Sabbath ; and a variety of other social usagea would come to he denounced as evils, which are now righteously veld, by, truly Christian minds, to constitute some of the valued privileges of a free and enlightened people. Even with the alleged grievance of which the petitioners complain, in no portion, saf Europe is the Sabbath so well observed as in this empire. From conscientious motives, and in deference to established custom and spiritual, coun sel, all professional and mercantile business is stayed on the first day of the week throughout the pro vinces, notwithstanding that no check is imposed on postal intercourse. ' Legislation on religious sub jects has ever been invidiously regarded, and has generally failed to accomplish its object. Expe. rience, and the healthy action of uncontrolled public opinion have peaceably begotten and conformed us to many wholesome usages, of which we might to this hour have been bereft, had we been exposed to the fierce contention that is inseparable from :the legislative tyranny that seeks to bind men's consciences on matters in which they ought to be left unfettered. It would be idle to point out to the exquisitely hallowed mind of the professed Sabbatarian how largely augmented would, be the number of Sunday travellers were the wishes of the petitioners to be effectuated. With the knowledge that no letter could reach their friends in the country on the Sunday, the reasons that would necessarily induce people to avail themselves of the rail to com municate in person what it is proposed they should be debarred from doing through the Post-office, are as illimitable as they are obvious to any suggestive and reflective mind. In a word, it is only charitable to suppose that the Sabbatarians are profoundly igno rant of the incalculable degree to which attendance upon the offices fe of religion would be interred with, compared with what it now is, provided their pro posal were to be sanctioned—apart from which is the certainty that the vexation, hardship, and expenses to be incurred, as incidental to the adoption of their proposition, would be chiefly felt, not by the affluent, but by the humbler and poorer classes, who require especially protection from such fanatical freaks. In a report of a Committee of the Congress of the United States, upon a similar subject, the Sabbata-' rians met with the following appropriate rebuke :—" The history of the world fur nishes the melancholy demonstration that the disposition of one man to coerce the religious homage of another springs from an unchastened ambition, rather than a sincere devotion to any religion." We esteem it a happy coincidence that, pending the movement of these self-sufficient and brawling agi tators, and the partial gatherings they have got up in this metropolis and elsewhere, the responsible duties of the Post-office have been presided over by a noble man who has so firmly resisted their pernicious scheme. Undismayed by the repeated and indiscri minate attacks made upon the Government, the Mar quis of CLANRICARDE has refuted, by indisputable data, the charge of Sabbatical desecration, and rolled back the tide of calumny upon the heads of his accusers. Under his auspices we have secured many postal reforms of great commercial utility, but in no respect are the public more indebted to the Post master-General than fur the unflinching manner in 'which he bas repelled the unseemly arrogance and the ascetic preaumption of the Sabbatarian party. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The leading columns of all of them are filled with articles on the approaching election, all written in the absurdly exaggerated strain which seems the common characteristic of all electioneering addresses, and c,f which the celebrated proclamation of " the three tailors of Tooley-street" may be considered as the type. The refusal of the re-actionary majority of the Chamber to accede to the demand of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, for an increase in the pay of the non commissioned officers of the army is producing its effect. The army are voting almost to a man for the democratic candidates. The National says, that of the soldiers quartered at Nantes, entitled to vote for Paris, 67 voted for the Socialist list and 19 for the Conservative. In the Upper and Lower Rhine there are 2,000 voters for Paris, 1,950 of whom, according to the National, voted for the Socialists, and only 50 for the Conservatives ; out of 175 Chasseurs of Vin cennes, 172 voted for the Social list. At St. Omer the votes were 27 for the Socialists and 9 for General DE LX HITT.E. At Caen, out of 83, there went 77 for DE PLOTTE ; and at Doriac, out, of 74 there were 64 for the Socialist candidates for Paris. The Committee of the Assembly, to which was re ferred the demand of the Procureur of the Republic for permission to prosecute M. MICHEL (de Bourges) for language alleged to have been uttered by him at a meeting of the electors of Paris, has refused the re quired permission, on the ground that M. MICIIEL (de Bourges) had, in the presence of the Assembly, solemnly denied that he had ever uttered the words imputed to him. A pamphlet on the revision of the Constitution, having been published by a M. VAUCORBEIL, which gave great offence to the Slcialist party, the Siecle published an article insinuating that the author was an employe of the Elysee. On this subject the Ordre publishes the following communicated note :—" The Siecle, in giving an account of the pamphlet of M. VAUCORBEIL, insinuates that that gentleman was one of the employes of the Elysee, and even the librarian of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The insinuation may be clever, but it is like many others, completely void of foundation." The pamphlet, which recommended a coup d'etat on the part of the PRESIDENT, has been seizml by order of the authorities, and a prosecution has been commenced against is author. The Moniteur in an nouncing these facts republishes the draft of the organic law which defines the PuEsIDENT's duties, with the penalties for their violation. Amongst the acts of high treason fur which he might be impeached, the following are set d own : " It is a crime of high treason on the part of the Pre sident of the Republ:c— . " No. 5. Shou . ld he render himself culpab!e of acts, cr eimanceuvres having for their object to suspend or over throw the Constitution— " No. 6. Should he throw obstacles in the way of the National Assembly calculated to paralyse its action, or impede the progress of its labour." This taken in conjunction with the distinct disa vowals in the Napoleon of last week of any inten►ion on the part of the PRUSIDENT to violate them, cannot but be most satisfactory to all the true friends of the Republic. The Napoleon declares its intention to support the candidates of the Electoral Union. ___ We find in the same journal the following on the subject of the differences between Prussia and Swit zerland:— The French Government have received from Prus sia news of the most reassuring kind. The difficulties respecting Switzerland hare been all removed. On one side Switzerland exercises a rigorous and firm vigilance, and on the other, P russ i a b y h er mo d erat i on and good sense proves the value she has placed on the observations of the French Government have thought proper to make to her." We are informed," says the Siecle, " that M. RozE, officier de pail, who had, on the 24th of Feb ruary, caused the crowns to be removed from the column of July, was on Thursday evening invited to resign his place and apply for his retiring pension. It is added that it is a sub-chief of the police, M. BALESTRINO, who is to replace him in his functions." " A new proposition," says the Constitutionnel, " relative to the Paris and Avignon Railway, is talked of. MM. I. SEGUIN and Co. have, it is said, offered at their own risk and peril to complete the line from Lyons to Avignon in the space of three years on receiving the sum of 236,000,000 f., to be paid by instalments as the works advance, and engage besides to keep up the said line for twenty years at the rate of sf. per metre, everything included, except the working materiel, or at 2f. 50c. for the iron way alone. It is said that the com pany is prepared to furnish a guarantee of six million, applicable as well to the construction as to the repairs, and moreover proposes to devote to the guarantee of the repair all the profits on the construction over and above 10 per cent This arrangement, if accepted by the Government, would necessitate a loan." The Patric of Saturday says— " Wo learn that the Mediterranean squadron, which hirl been expected at Toulon, bas received a counter order, according to which it was to proceed to Naples, where Admirable Parceval D2chenes will await the set tlement of the differences between England and the Greek Government." _ _ _ Toe PRESIDENT of the Republic has received an autograph letter from the PorE, from the contents of which it would appear that his lioLINEss hopes soon to return to Rome. The Star frigate has landA at Bona 257 of the in surgents of June, 1848. The Gomez, having also on board a number of these insurgents, has put into Cadiz, from which port the Pomona sailed on the 2d inst. for La Plata. The Assenzblee Nationale says,—" The destination of General STROGONOF, who had been expected in France as the representative of Russia, has just been changed ; he has been sent to Erfurt, to carry the ul timatum of the CZAR to the Diet." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOOK-EXCHANGE, MARCH 9. Boulogne and Amiens, 7—Northern of France, 13.? — Orleans and Bordeaux, 3!f 4 —Tours and Nantes, SPAIN. .Madrid journals of the sth have been received. M. GEORGE DIAZ, who some time ago sent a chal lenge to General N A RVAER, has been condemned for that offence to a hoe of 55 piastres, and sixteen months' banishment from Madrid, or from any other town in which the President of the Council may hap pen to reside. General Ros DE OLANO has been ap pointed Captain-General of. Algeciras. It appears that the appointment of General SER RANO to the post of Captain-General of Madrid, on which IN ARVAEZ insists, Is violently opposed by the Christina section of the Cabinet, and that a Minis terial crisis may be in consequence apprehended. It is said that the Government is about to borrow thirty millions of reals, to be spent in completing the fortifications of Cuba, and dfraying the expenses of the naval force to be sent to defend that island against the intrigues of certain United States c:tizens. We have received accounts from Madrid of the sth inst., which mention that the Cabinet never contem plated to appoint General SERRANO to the Govern ment of Madrid. The successor of General MIRA seL was not vet known. It was believed, how ever, that General CORDOVA would, on his return from Italy, assume the direction of the War Depart ment, and that General FIGUERAS, the present Mi nister, would be nominated Captain-General of Seville in the room of General SCHELLY. The latter would in that case succeed General MtaAsor. as Cap tain-General of Madrid, and General SERRANO would be called to the post of Director of the Staff, vacated by General SANZ, who was to be invested with the government of Catalonia. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH s.—Three per Cents., 283. for account; Five per Cents. 124 paper. Ex change on London, 50 20. GERMANY. The Cologne Gazette has the following telegraphic dispatch from its correspondent at Berlin, of the 7th inst. :—" I have just been assured on good authority that the rumours which have been current of Austria triving made positive propositions for a political union with Prussia, for the settlement of the German ques tion, are unfounded. At a Cabinet Council held yesterday, at Charlotenburgh, it was decided on the proposition of M. DE SCHLEINITZ, to recal the Prus sian Envoy from Hanover. This has been done to day, and Prussia will only leave a Charge d'Affaires in that city. The letter states, it will probably also break off diplomatic relations with the Hanoverian Government." Doubts were entertained in Berlin on the 9th whether the opening of the Erfurth Diet would take place on the day appointed. Ten Prussian Hussars deserted a few days since from their regiment, and arrived at Metz with their arms and baggage. It is stated, in a letter from Stuttgart, in the In dep endance of Brussels, that the KING and royal family of Wurtemberg, have made their arrange ment; for retiring to one of the royal chateaux. This was said to be owing to the intention to effect a coup d etat, by suspending the Constitution for an indeter minate time --a measure considered necessary, in con sequence of the triumph of the Democratic party in the recent elections. According to the Bavarian journals, Bavaria, and other states of southern Germany are making warlike preparations ; and the Frankfort journals state that the Bavarian soldiers on furlough have been sum moned to join their regiments, that the garrison of Nuremburg have received orders to be ready to march, and that alarge camp is to be formed in Fran conia. The Berlin State Gazette publishes a copy of the dispatch of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Prussia, on the proposed customs union between Austria and Germany. The Prussian Minister approves of the project, but recommends that it shall be carried gra dually into execution, and that the Central Commis sion of Frankfort shall convoke a congress to settle all details. A letter from Vienna of the 4th states that a tele graphic dispatch had been received in that city, an nouncing on authority of letters from Patras of 26th ult., that the blockade of the port of Athens still continued. A letter from Vienna states that the Government has just placed at the disposal of the public the elec tric telegraph between that city and Odersburg, so that an electric communication is now open the whole way between Vienna and Berlin. It was believed in Vienna that the Russians would again shortly occupy Hungary. The Frankfurt Journal states that Prince ALBERT of England, as heir to his brother, the Duke of SAXE COBURG GOTHA, has protested against the consequences which may ensue from the resolutions of the Par liament of Erfurt in regard to the independence of the Duchy. The Diet of Saxe Coburg Gotha was opened on the 2d, and the Ministry announced its adhesion to the treaty of the 26th of May (that for the establish ment of a restricted federal state). A letter from Hamburgh of the sth says The retirement of Hanover from the restricted federal state is considered a heavy blow to Prussia, and it is to be feared will be followed by that of Hesse, Bremen, and Mecklenhurgh-Strelitz." HUNGARY AND TURKEY. We have received some further information con cerning the behaviour of the Hungarian refugees, when it became known that they must positively leave Shumla for Kutahia. When ACHMET EFFENDI, who reached Shumla, on the sth February, began to make preparations for th e d e p ar t ure o f t h e fugitives, IiTOSSUTH declared to him that he would rather shoot himself than consent to be removed to Ada. To this the diplomatist, with true Turkish phlegtna, replied that "it was a pity to anticipate that fate from which none can escape, but that man would often follow his inspirations." KOSSUTH subsequently addressed a brilliant speech to his followers in order to excite them to accompany him, but with little success. CASIMIR BATTIITANY intended to have attempted to escape before ACnMET EFFENDI'S arrival, but the Turks by seizing his horses clereated his plans ; he seemed much moved on hearing that he must pro ceed with the others to Asia. DEMBILVICY having pleaded illness, the Turkish Commissioner has de mand further instructions from Constantinople. MESSAROS and STEIN (Perhad) were much cast down ; lIiUBICE PEIZCZEL, on the contrary, declared that he willingly went into exile, as he would never have returned to Hungary even if permission had been granted him so to do. A strange scene took place between BALLocx and his son. The former, as a renegade, was to be removed to Aleppo, while his son, as a Christian, was to proceed to Kutahia. The idea of being separated from his son almost drove the old man mad. He declared that he had been vilely deceived by the Turkish Go vernment, . and throwing his " fez" at the feet of ACIIMET EFFENDI, swore that he would rather die than remain a Mussulman.' At one o'clock on the 15th, the mournful procession started. Kos- SUTII who had previously committed his last will to the hands of the Turkish Commissioner, sat buried in his cloak in a corner of his carriage ; his wife ac companied him. BATTMYANY, though the expression of his countenance was sad, sat as proudly as ever in his saddle. The Countess was in a close carriage. The others, to about the. number of 58, followed pell-mell. DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen of the 28th ult. state that the Danish Government is actively engaged in making military and naval preparations for war. In the Chamber of Deputies of Denmark on the 9,1 inst., the Minister of Finance demanded that, in consequence of a possibility of the resumption of hostilities with Germany, the Bill for granting full powers to the Government to levy the taxes should be declared of urgent importance, so as to be passed in three consecutive sittings. This was agreed to by 80 votes to 2. RUSSIA. The Journal of St. Petersburgh announces that on the 25th ult. General CASTELBAJAC, the new French Ambassador in Russia, was received by the EMPEROR, and presented his credentials. ITALY. The Piedniontese Gazette gives an account of the religious ceremony which took place on the 4th at Turin, to commemorate the proclamation of the Con , stitution. All the public offices were closed. The deputations of the two Chambers, the Municipality, the National Guard, and an immense assemblage of people, assisted at the solemn service performed in the church of the Great Mother of God. Over the door of the church was the following inscription : " To God, who made us free, the senators and depu ties, the Municipality. and National Guard, in cele brating the second anniversary of the Statute, offer up a fervent prayer, that He render us virtuous, unitel, and strong, in orthr to maintain our liberty." In the ev en i ng , a bout seven, P.M., a crowd of peo ple assembled on the Piazza Castella, who, under pre • tense of celebrating the anniversary, and of giving marks of approbation to the Ministry, soon spread themselves about the city, calling upon the citizens to illuminate their windowe, and even forcing them to it by throwing stones and breaking panes. The disturbance became so serious, that the authorities at last were obliged to arrest some persons caught in the fact. The Risorgimento. in mentioning these disturbances, expresses itself as if the great majority of inhabitants had spontaneously commenced the illu mination, long before they had been called upon by the crowd to do so, whence it would appear that acts of violence had only been committed against a few houses that had not followed the general example. In the sitting of the Chamb , r of Deputies at Turin on the Gth, in reply to que:lions relative to the arm ine,its of Austria on the Llge Maggiore, the Presi• dent of the C pencil and the Minister of War replied that the Government, in case of necessity, would know how to take the measures requisite to secure the independence and dignity of the country. The Administration of Public Safety has issued a note warning the peaceable inhabitants of Turin not to form part of any public assemblies. The Nazionale of Florence states from Rome, 28th ult., that great preparations are going on,at the Vene tian Palace for the reception of Marshal RADETZKY and his suite, who are expected there to assist at the inauguration •of the Austrian flag, to be hoisted over the Palace of the Ambassador of that power. The company formed by the rriuces ALTLERI and Cozal ARCH 11, 1850 have, it is said, obtained from the Roman Govern. ment the concession of the Rome and Ancona Railway. The Milan Gazette of the 28th ult. gives the follow ing official explanation of the fact of the British Con sul of that city having lowered his flag :—" In pro portion as our internal institutions are d aily returning to their normal state, we see confidence towards the Government increasing among all classes of persons. In consequence of this, all foreign consuls accre dited to this capital have taken down from the front of their habitations their respective national flags, which they had hoisted in days of turbulence and political crisis, in order to point out more visibly to foreign subjects residing amongst us a place of security, and of civil immunity, for the protection of which many of our own public establishments for the shelter of the destitute did the same, hoisting a white sheet over the door as a sign, which was afterwards wi:hdrawn as soon as the internal security of persons and property ceased to he a desire and became a reality. As this determination of the diplomatic body had transpired some time be fore, many persons did not fail to comment upon it, and a rumour got abroad that the Government of 11. B. M. would not consent to that course ; instead of this, we have seen the British Consulate the first to effect the measure, to the greet astonishment of our prophets and commentators." The Mantua Gazette of the 27th ult. mentions a fray that had taken place in that fortress between some Hungarian and German soldiers ; several wounds were received on both sides. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the MASTER Of the ROLLS.) The Court was engaged throughout the morning in hear ing motions, that of Ord v. Parkin being the most impor tant, which involved the question of an ancient custom, by which it was alleged that the inhabitants of a dis trict including the parish of Wakefield and other places in the West• Riding of York, were bound to grind their corn, grain, and malt for their own use at the mills of the plaintiff on payment of a mulcture. The motion was for an injunction to prevent the defendant evading this custom. The argument was proceeding when our report left. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLuorn.) NEWSPAPER DIFFICULTIES -IN RE CLA DRON. This bankrupt, an elderly widow lady, came up to pass her last examination, which had been adjourned to this day in consequence of her illness and no aocouuts having been filed. Mr:LoE, for the bankrupt, now applied fur a further adjournment as no accounts had been filed, the bankrupt not having a single sixpence. Bankrupt had been the mortgagee of the Cambridge Chronicle and Advertiser, on which she advanced 4,000/., and was in truth, no further interested in the matter until a notice was re ceived from the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, that unless some person was registered as pro prietor the stamps would be stopped, and she then consented to her name being entered. Subsequently the original proprietor became bankrupt, and after that a fiat was issued out against Mrs. Clabbon, who, however, had not a single book or document connected with the newspaper. He ('dr. Loe) thought that if it was insisted that the bankrupt should render an account, she ought to have an allowance made to her. The Solicitor to the assignees said they had not re. ceived a shilling under the fiat. His HoNoun — said, according to the proceedings, an order had been made by the Court of Review for an issue to try the validity of the present fiat. Mr. LOE said that was so, but it had not been tried, and the bankrupt had no means of assisting herself, she having lost her all, if the issue were decided against her. His HONOUR asked when the issue would be tried, and was answered, about May. His HONOUR then said that he would adjourn the case sine die, with protection. INSOLVENCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE SAMUEL MANNA CARLISLE. This insolvent, a Dissenting minister, was beard on Saturday. His case was again mentioned, on the sub ject of an allowance under the Protection Act. Mr. CooKE, who represented the opposing creditor, was willing that the insolvent's museum of minerals and fossils should not be touched. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said a proposal (151. a year) bad been made and accepted. It would be a cruel thing to destroy the museum by a sale, which would realise but a trifle, after the years spent in its collection. Mr. CooKE then mentioned another subject. The in solvent had a full allowance of excepted articles to 20/., and there was further furniture to 20/., and the question was, whether it should be given up. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought it might be re tained. In cases under the Protection Act, where a proposal was made, a man might retain what he held. Ho would, however, consult the Chief Commissioner on the matter. The museum and the furniture remains in possession of the insolvent until further order. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged gentlemanly-looking man, who gave the name of Sinnonds, wai charged with being drunk and incapable. A police-constable found him late on Saturday night in New-street, Leicester-square, in a state of intoxica tion. He advised him to go quietly home, but he re fused to do so, and was therefore taken to the station. Prisoner—Now, your Worship, may I be allowed to explain? Mr. HALL—Certainly. Prisoner—lt is quite a mistake, your Worship, that I was drunk, I was only excited. I had been having some wine and coffee at the Shades in Leicester-square, and as I came away Mr. Smith, the proprietor, advhei me to take a cab and go home. I said no, I can walk home, and when I lett him I turned up New-street to avoid the crowd. Now, your Worship, if there is any thing I dislike more than another it is a mob. Don't imagine, your Worship, that these sticks I have got here are used for slashing about me, because I hate slashing. They are simply to assist me in walking, for unfortunately a few years ago, on my return from the warm climate of Geneva, I fell out of the top window of the Garrick's Head opposite here, and broke my left leg and right arm. Mr. HALL (to the officer)—l am afraid there is some thing wrong here (pointing to his forehead). The prisoner—Not in the least, your Worship. When I am excited people often suppose I am intoxi cated; but to convince pour Worship that I was not drunk, I will just tell your Worship how much wine I had drunk. Mr. HALL—That is quite unnecessary, because a little may affect on© man, while a great deal would not another. Prisoner—Well, your Worship, had there not been the exciting cause of tLu mob getting round me and in dulginr, in sarcasm, I should have go t sa f e h ome . I took refuge in a shop, and to show that I was sober, when I was told to leave it I did so quietly, without making any remark, nor did I in the least obstruct or resist the police. Mr. HALL—Have you any friends residing in Llndon? Prisoner—Oh, bless your heart, plenty. I have a banker in teen; but as for myself, the fact is, I have latterly abandoned town altogether. Mr. HALL—How do you mean? Prisoner—Why, its follies are too much for me, and I have taken refuge in the country. Mr. HALL—WeII, sir, you aro discharged. Prisoner—Your Worship is most obliging. The prisoner thea left tfie dock, obser — vini to a gen tleman in the body of the court, " I believe I had him ;here, eh? Ah, ah, ah." MARLBRO' : STREET-(THIS DAY. STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Mary Churchill was charged before Mr. Hardwick with having stolen a gold watch and chain, value 101., the property of a F renc h gentleman named Alcide Leroy, at present staying at the Prince of Wales' Hotel, Leicester-place, Leicester square. The prosecutor deposed that on Saturday night, about tea o'clock, ho was coming along Green -street, Leiceiter square, when he met the prisoner, who accosted him, and, after some conversation, he accompanied her to No. 39, in the square. They went up stairs into a room on the third floor, where they stopped for some time, and on his preparing to leave he found that his gold watch and chain had been stolen from his fob. He was certain he had his watch safe in his fob, when he en tered the room, as ho had occasion to pull it out to see the time, and as the prisoner was the only person he had spoken to, he charged her with stealing it, which she denied. She then went to the side of the bed, and sat down for a moment, and at that time he distinctly heard the ticking of a watch, and as he was confident she had got it, he sent for a constable and gave her in charge. The constable searched the room, but the watch could not be fuund, either in the room or on the person of the prisoner. The prisoner, who has repeatedly been in custody for similar offences, was remanded till Wednesday next. UTTERING COUNTERSEIT COIN.— William lVard was brought before Mr. Hardwick charged under the fol lowing circumstances: — Henry Dalton, an assistant in the employ of Messrs. Hatton and Company, drapers, 11, Oxford-street, stated that on Saturday afternoon a lad, by the name of Lar kins, who was now present, came into his employers" shop and asked for a pennyworth of tape, and tendered a counterfeit shilling in payment. Witness picked up the shilling , and asked the boy where he got it from. The Jai replied that a man outside gave him the money, and promised to give him twopence if he would „eo into the shop and purchase the tape. Witness fetched a constable, and on going with the boy into Margaret-street, the prisoner was pointed out as the per son who had sent him into the shop. He was then taken into custody. The boy Laticies having corroborated the above evi dence, and sworn to the identity of the prisoner, the latter stoutly denied the charge, and said the boy had made a mistake in the person from whom he alleged he had received the The prisoner, who was recognised as an old practi tioner in the "smashing" line, was remanded till Thurs day next, for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. We have great pleasure in being enabled to state that her Majesty has graciously presented to Mr. Batty, the enterprising manager of Astley's Theatre, a valuable pair of pure Arabian horses, that have recently been im ported into this country, and which we are given to un derstand are in active training, and will, we have no doubt, form en additional attraction to his already much adhaiied stud. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The tales of cotton at Liverpool on Sivurday were (E -tiolated a: 4,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken en specu!ation. Among the rest sold were 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6 f (l to 6:7d, 100 Egyptian at 7d to 7d, and 300 Surat at 411 to 44 , ; per lb.-11wAway shares were quiet, and prices generally tending down wards. In Mark-lane to. day trade has been very dull. Wheat:at about previous rates, but Barley is to 2s lower. Advices from Amsterdam inform us that the Bank or the Pays Bas has reduced its rate of discount half per cent. Its terms now are 3 per cent. on promissory notes, 21 for loans on bill, ' and 3 per cent. on merchan clize. In all the principal cities abroad, money is de scribed as being abundant. At Hamburgh it is parti cularly so. Last Friday bills at short dates on London were quoted there 13 10. The funds were firm, with a fair businees doing, hut shares rather unsteady. At St. Fetersbureh, on the 28th ult , imports were quieter. The forwarding ef goods to remote parts in the interior had ceased, as the ice roads were not likely to last much longcr. A serious event has occurred in the commercial world at Lille. M. Desmoutiers, a stockbroker of repute, has absconded, end his liabilities are represented to be very heavy, though not yet fully ascertained. Acceptances with the forged signatures of twenty leading firms have already been discovered, and Vie deliequent has not only defrauded his clients cut of large sums lodged with him for the purpose of meeting; r a!ls upon al ares, but has made away also with the securities. One house loses 80,000 francs, and another 30,000 francs, and a large industrial establishment as much as 180,000 francs. Harnburgh is supposed to be the destination of the defaulter, because teiere his surrender to the French au thorities could not be demanded. . _ The Dutch funds at Amsterdam on the Bth instant were rather better ; the Two-and-a-Half per Cent.F. realising 55 13-16 ; Peruvian were very feeble. In the Frankfort market, on the Bth instant, Austrian me tallies were 81i ; and Spanish Three per Cents. 29, being a slight improvement. The Rentes at Paris rose on Saturday._ The ques - tion as to the most eligible steam routo to Australia is occupying so much attention just now, and is of such general importance, that it will be highly satis factory if we hear that any decision come to by Go vernment is wholly upon the merits. In point of actual distance, the passages by the Cape, by Singapore, or by the Isthmus of Panama vary so little as not to bear much upon the main problem to be solved, viz., the difference of time and money. On these and some other matters a party, who seems to write from personal knowledge, sends us the following advocacy of the Cape " I am satisfied its advantages require only to be fairly stated to prove to the most uninitiated the very decided su p,riority it possesses over either the rou. e by Singapore,er by the Panama; but as gnat stress has been laid on the circumstance of the present tenders being for the best postal communication—by which, I presume, is meant the most regular as well as the most rapid— I wish to state my conviction, in which I am sup ported by the opinion of the mercantile community generally, that even on that point does the Cape route stand pre-eminent, for not only is the distance about the same as by either of the others, but it is the only one which embraces a regular communication, both out and home, with all the colonies. That by Singapore, from the necessity of its traversing the western side of Aus tralia on the passage is Sydney, and returning through Torres Straits during the favourable monsoon, or six months of the year, would not only leave Sydney, the last port reached and the first left, which appears to have been the chief objection on the part of the Syd ney people to the Cape route, but for the return post would during that time be almost valueless to Adelaide, Port Phillip, Van Diemen's Land, and Western Aus tralia, as the short stay the steamers would make at either of the places would rot allow time for the letters to pass through the different post-offices, much less be replied to, fur which they must wait the arrival of the f wing outward packet for Sydney, and thus lose a month. The same cause would also seriously affect the revenue, as very many of the letters from those colonies would be then forwarded by private ship rather than pay the packet rate for the chance of gaining a few days. "It has been stated that the 6,0001. mentioned as voted by the Legislative Council ef New South Wales, in aid of the steam communication, Rll5 intended to be applied towards the conveyance of mails to Sydney, via Singapore, the knowledge of which circumstance, it is said, may probably prevent miscalculation as to the funds available on behalf of the Cape, or other lice 3 which may bo projected. I think there is an error in that respect. However, it would make but little difference, as I have received information from all the southern colonies, that they most positively would not contribute one fArthing towards the Singapore route, and I all in possession of official copies of the reso lutions passed at Adelaide, containing the vote of 3,000/. per annum towards carrying out the Cape route only, and suggesting that that by Singapore does not present suffi cient advantage to authorise any contribution ffom their colonial fund. And furthermore, so much are they alive t the benefits they would receive from the Cape route, in the stimulus it would give to emigration, that they recommend that the annual sum of 28,000/. should be appropriated to the payment of the passage of emigrants by the packets. - "Little may be said of the route via PL;narra, as not only are the same objcetions of transhipment of goods and passengers applicable to it as to that via Suez; but neither could it offer any useful communication with any of the southern colonies, and the sea distances are even greater than by the Care of Good Hops." Although business to the English Funds is by no means animat,d, prices me still extremely firm and ap paren:ly t aiding upwards. The second note from the Rus:tian Ambassador reads more favourably, and the rally in the Funds at Paris shows less anxiety about the elections than was represented. Consols have been quoted 96 to 4, and for April 96k The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 9Sfl to 99, and the Three per Cents. 96i Exchequer-bills have been 565. to 595., and lama Bonds 84s. to 86.1. premium, an advance in both cases. In the Foreign Market the only security that has been much dealt in is Peruvian, which have fluctuated from 72 to 71 for the Active, and from 30i to 29i f the Deferred, a decline of 1 to 2 upon Saturday's values. Mexican Stock has realised 291 4, and con tinues neglected. Brazilian Old Bonds have b een voted 881-. Russian Scrip is 131 premium. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. havo been 55i to 55i. Spanish Five per Cents. bring 17k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 34 to 34i. Railway Shared have been rather lower again, and the state of the account has probably an influence on them, since the disposition recently has been to Bull them.
