DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Reyenue,Somerset House, Jan. 12, 1850. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of yesterday :—] GERMAN Y. Letters from Stuttgart state that a change in public opinion with respect to the adhesion of the Govern ment to the treaty of the three Kings has just taken place in Wurtemberg; numerous petitions having been sent to the King praying him to join the re stricted federal state as the only means or saving the couz.try from a revolution. The King and Ministers, however, continued as hostile as ever to Prussia and its federal state. The Second Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Hesse resolved in a recent sitting, by 21 votes to 14, to nominate a committee to examine the propositions of the Government relative to the adhesion to the re stricted federal state. This vote being in favour of the Government occasioned great surprise, as the m tjority of the Chamber consists of Radicals of ex treme opinions. The Arbitral Federal Tribunal of Erfurt has sent to the Cabinet of Berlin a plan for the organization of the Tribunal of the Empire. It is proposed that the tribunal shall consist of twelve judges and a presi dent ; six of the judges to be named by the Princes, six others by the two Chambers. A special Court, consisting of a part of the members of the tribunal, is to try crimes of high treason, &c., assisted by a jury. 8,324 6,730 8,895 10,555 12,706 7,254 7,997 15,886 6,553 20,562 5,081 33,678 13,660 20,225 3,790 14,801 28,691 41,330 5,425 12,865 8,076 67,070 9,518 1,620' LONDON, RUSSIA. We find the following in the St. Petersburgh Journal of the 6th :—" The pernicious doctrines which produced disturbance and revolt in the whole of Western Europe, and which threatened the com plete destruction of the order and prosperity of na tions, have unfortunately produced an echo, although a feeble one, in our country. But in Russia. where a holy faith, love for the Monarch and de votedness to the throne, based on the national cha racter, have remained unshaken in all hearts, the evil intentions of a handful of men of no influence, most of them young and without morality, who had dreamed the possibility of trampling under foot the most sacred rights of religion, law, and propriety, would only have assumed a dangerous developement in the event of the vigilance of the Government not having discovered the evil in its origin. It results, from the investigations which have taken place, that a certain number of young men, some completely perverted in heart and mind, others victims of impru debt and perfidious insinuations, had formed a secret society whose object was the violent overthrow of our political organization and to substitute for it one of their own fashion, which would only have been anarchy. Blasphemies and audacious speeches against the sacred person of the Emperor, false interpretations of the acts of the Government, such was the programme of these meetings, such were the questions agitated whilst waiting for the mo ment to execute their sinister projects. By order of his Majesty the Emperor a commission of inquiry was instituted. This commission having made its report at the end of a few months of the most careful investigations, his Imperial Majesty deigned to grant a full and entire amnesty to all the persons who had been seduced into this criminal plot either from chance or want of reflection. As to the true crimi nals they were tried by a military commission, whose decision was referred to the tribunal, which declared the accused guilty of the crime of conspiracy to overthrow the existing laws and political order of the empire, and condemned them to the punishment of death. They are as follows :—Michael l3outaschevitch, Petraschevoky, honorary councillor; Nicholas Spesckneff, gentleman, no longer in service ; Nicholas Mombelli, lieutenant in the guards ; Ni cholas Grigorieff, lieutenant in the guards ; Theodore Lvoff, captain in the guards; Nicolas .Pilippoff, stu dent of the University of St. Petersburgh; Dmitry Akhs-chasroumoff, bachelor in letters ; Alexander Rhanikoff, pupil of the University of St. Peters burgh ; Theodore Dostvievsky, retired assessor of a college ; Constantine Desbout, councillor of a college ; Ilippolyte Desbout, secretary of Government ; Felix Toll, master of Russian literature, without rank in the service ; John Jastyembski, honorary coun cillor ; Alexander Plestcheioff, gentleman not in the service ; Nicholas Kaschkine, honorary councillor; Basil Golovinski, honorary councillor; Alexander Parma, lieutenant in the guards ; Constantine Tim kowsky, honorary councillor; Alexander Europens re tired secretary of a college ; Peter Schaposchnikoff , citizen. his Majesty the Emperor after having read the report in question of the Supreme Tribunal, deigned to turn his attention to the circumstances, which to a certain extent might warrant the miti gation of the sentence, and has in consequence ordered what follows :—The judgment shall be read to the condemned in presence of the troops assembled, and after all the preliminaries for the execution of the penalty of death shall have been accomplished, it shall be announced to them that the Emperor spares their lives, and that instead of undergoing the penalty of death, they shall be declared to have forfeited all their civil rights, and be condemned, according to their dif ferent degrees of guilt, to hard labour in the mines, to hard labour in the fortresses, or to be incorporated in:different corps of the army, after having under gone periods of detention more or less long. Thus the guilty men who had incurred the penalty of death according to the law, but whose penalty has been mitigated by the inexhaustible clemency of the Em peror, will he subjected to a just chastisement. May this guilty attempt serve as a warning and salutary example to young men, already misled perhaps, but not yet criminal. Let parents especially pay serious attention to the moral education of their children, and endeavour to convince them from their earliest age that holy faith, love for the Sovereign, devotedness to the throne, and obedience to the laws and established authoritie., are the only immoveable bases of the tran quillity of states, and of public and private prosperity." ITALY. In the sitting of the 11th of 'the Chamber of De puties of Turin, the Bill for the subdivision of electoral colleges was voted by 87 to 43, after two days' discussion, but with some amendments, among which one by M. Torelli, enacting that no section shall contain less than 40 voters. In the same sitting of the Senate the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs presented the Bill for the ratification of the treaty of peace with Austria, which had already been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. Senator Balbi Piovera moved that, in compliance with the urgency demanded by Ministers, the Senate do adjourn immediately to the bureaux, and vote the law afterwards without discussion. tut several senators having objected to this course, the Chamber passed to the order of the day. The military commandant of Leghorn has issued a notification, enforcing the police regulation by which innkeepers and landlords are directed to inform the police within twenty-four hours of the names of the strangers lodging in their houses. The Statuto of Florence of the Bth doubts the ac curacy of the statement lately given by the Risorgi mento to Turin, concerning a treaty between the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Austrian Govern ment for the indefinite occupations of Tuscany by imperial troops.

The usual monthly meeting was held this day, at half- past two o'clock in the afternoon. The Mayor, T. W. Palmer, Esq., was in the chair. THE EXHIBITION OF WORKS OF ART AND INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS. The MAYOR said—Had I considered that the mo tion I have the honour to introduce was likely to occasion any difference of opinion, it would not, in that case, have emanated from the chair. At the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of all England, when held at York, I had the gratification to hear the address of his Royal llighness Prince Albert, which evinced an amount of practical and enlarged agricultural knowledge not only genial to the feelings of that most important and influential assemblage, but which betokened also a degree of judgment and ability which shadowed forth the impreK ion that, should opportunity offer, his Royal Highness might be destined to fill, in the page of truth ful and impartial history, even a position still higher than that of the father of a long line of kings. By the movement which has originated with his Royal Highness, in favour of an exhibition of works of art and industry of all nations, in 1851, his Royal LEghness has not merely lent the cheering in fluence of his elevated position to promote the well-being of the people, but has placed himself at the head of the age—not as in distant countries, at the head of the chivalry of Europe, on the plains of Palestine—but as the leader of the combined intellect and intelligence of this Augustan age of art and science (for such most as suredly it is) throughout the whole range of civilisa tion. Vast impetus must necessarily be thus given ' to the advancement of every kind of art in manufac ture, in which the industrial, inventive, and intellec tual energies of the Anglo-Saxon race are now what they ever were ;no rivalry need they fear—or do they fear. Although Hull is not, as yet, eminent a: the seat of any important manufacture, yet there is no community more deeply interested in the prospe rity and development of manufacturing industry than this ancient port—the tonnage engaged in the export of manufactures to Europe being far larger than that of any other port in the kingdom. A 3 a peace move ment, the fusion of all nations in the metropolis of Great Britain, during the summer of the ensuing year, will have a more enduring and beneficial tendency than any mere parchment treaty, because prejudices will be removed, courtesies exchanged, and mutual confidence and respect become based on the mutual interests and well-being of mankind. To our beloved Queen the position her Royal Consort has assumed cannot, to so intellectual and high-minded a woman, be other than a source of pure and unalloyed gratification, as a wife, a mother, and also as a queen. I now move that a congratulatory address from this council be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for originating the movement in favour of an exhibition of arts and manufactures of all nations, in 1851. Mr. Jacons seconded the motion, and said that after the able and eloquent manner in which the mayor had introduced this motion to the council, he felt it quite unnecessary to dilate upon the excellence of the object in furtherance of which the motion had been made. He congratulated the mayor upon being the first gentleman who, in such a capacity, had ori ginated a congratulatory address of this nature, and he felt deeply gratified that the ancient and loyal borough of Hull would be the first place in the king dom to set an example to the other municipal cor porations throughout the kingdom. He had himsell been in correspondence with Mr. Digby Wyatt, the .ecretary of the committee appointed for carrying out this splendid and magnificent idea, and Mr. Wyatt said he should be most happy to have any other communications from this locality. Mr. RICHARDSON wished to ascertain whether the Corporation was likely to be called to spend any money in connexion with this exhibition. The Towst-CLEns. satisfied Mr. Richardson, by saying the Corporation could not legally spend money on this object. The motion was carried unanimously. On the motion of the MAYOR, the following form of address was adopted as the address of this Council, the common seal affixed thereto : "TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, OF SAIL COBURG AND GOTHA. " The respectful and c ongtatulatory address a the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough of Kingston upon-Hull, in Common Council assembled. " We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, filled with admiration of your Royal Highness's character, and in partienlar with the fostering care and encouragement that the tine and productive ails have ever received from your Royal Highness, since you became a resident in this kingdom, beg t) congratulate your Royal Highness on your happy conception of the idea of an exhibition of works of art and of industry of all nations, proposed to be held in London in the year of our Lord 1851; and upon the talented and able manner in which that excellent suggestion has been, by your Royal High ness, introduced to the notice t f the public. "In thus fostering the arts of peace, your Royal Highness has exhibited enlarged mental endowments, and set an example to sovereign princes which the people iif this realm cannot' ail to appreciate and felicitate themselves upon, whilst you will have secured to your self the lasting and heartfelt esteem of all classas of h(r Majesty's subjects. "We beg to assure your Royal Highness that w ( -hall give every support, encouragement, and assistants in our power to carrying out the plan so ably conceived by your Royal Highness; and sincerely do we hope the , the Almighty may grant to you and our; beloved Queeti the blessing of a long life of united happiness, and do mestic as well as political tranquillity and felicity. The following motions were then put by the MAYOR seriatim, and carried unanimously : " That a committee be formed in this town to aid tie commissioners, to whom the carrying out of the (aid exhibition is or may be entrusted, in such ways as may lie in their power, in reference to this town and neigh bourhood." " That such committee do consist of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, of this borough, the mem bers of the council of the Hull Literary and Philo sophical Society, and of the committee of the Mechanics' awaitthheysumchaygaedndtletromtehaL e f n t a h m e b t e o r w fr n om or t n im ei e g b I n o s a t r i h t u o It to time." " That such of the courts, council-room, and commit . tee-rooms at tt e Town-hall, as may not at the time be required f)r other business, be placed at the disposal of the said committee, for the business of the said commit tee, or for any public meetings of the inhabitants the committee may promise t) be held, in reference to the proposed exhibition." " That the Town-clerk do summon an early meeting of the said committee, to choose their chairman, secre ary, and other officers, and to add to their number, after which the business of the said committee shall be con ducted by its own officer,." It was moved by Mr. CARRICK, seconded, and car ried unanimously, that the Mayor be requested to present the address in person, or by such deputy as he might appoint. —Hull Advertiser. TIDAL LIGHTS. Our remarks on the subject of tidal lights having attracted the attention of the Times and The Sun, there is now some reason to hope that Mr. Rettie will get justice done him in London. The question has been put to us—" What advan tages do Mr. Rettie's tidal lights possess over those now in use ?" This question was put to Mr. Rettie by the Tidal Harb our Commissioners in 1845, and intensityabnu:Teerhreee,dutshingus— of light, an d th e management o f t h e proper reflectors, and bringing a per feet colour therefrom, and also so simplifying the whole arrangements , b y making one lamp do where they now on some lin es use three or four laMps ; therefore, by my system, I enable one m an t o a tt en d more correctly and with certainty of effect, bee.ause less complex in the plan , quicker in action, and not liable to go wrong or to be misapplied, and my ar ararengneomw in ar rangements by any other party , though they have are en tirely different from thos e w hi c h used part of my system, as to t h e colours." Again, he was asked—" Do you consider th a t th e reflector and burners which you propose ar e pecu liarly applicable to piers and h arb o urs ?" to which he replied—" Yes, t hi s new one is expressly ma d e for that purpose, so that one uniform pier and harbour light may be used all over the world." Ile was fur ther asked—" What is the nature of the present lights ?" and he answered — " The y are u pon no uni form plan : some are small, som e lar g e, some bright red, some dark red, some green ; while in other cases there is total darkness for six hours while the tide is down. They also depend entirely upon the careful ness or carelessness of servants whether they are attended to or not." Of his own invention Mr. Rettie said, as he showed a model to the Commission—" This simple light that I have brought forward, I propose to be uniformly red and green, and permanent ; until the tide rises, the green colour, denoting the depth of water, gradually appears; and as the tide recedes a ga i n it falls, leaving the perms• nent red light in its place, showing with the utmost regularity the depth of the water in the harbour, so that a captain coming before the port sees at once the state of the tide in the harbour, whether it will allow him to enter with safety." This beautiful an 4 simple invention would be self-regu lating, and according to Mr. Rettie's evidence , "would be seen fur or fi ve miles, although it is not necessary that it should be seen more than two miles off." In testimony of the practical value of this invention, Commander Smith, R.N., of the Rattler, on board which the lights were shown to the Secretary of the Admiralty, say e __t. They surpass anything of the kind I have read, heard, or seen. ' Commander Cris pin, R.N., of the Victoria and Albert, thinks—" Their introduction into general use would be attended with the most beneficial results." These opinions apply to Mr. Rettie's marine signals as well as his tidal lights, and are quoted as a sample of many others equally strong and authoritative. But it is with the tidal lights which we have more particularly to do at present. The subject is one of the most vital importance, and we cannot but hope that the benevolent, as well as the mercantile public, will see that no time is lost in getting these lights brought into general use. The Harbour authorities at Dundee should at once give them a trial, and those of Montrose, Peterhead, and Fraserburgh, should adopt them also, in preference to the tidal lights now in use at these ports. It would be honour stile for the east coast of Scotland to set this ex ample, and it is but due to the talented and humane inventor, that the real practical value of his invention should be first demonstrated at home.—North of Scotland Gazette. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 17. (Sittings in Banco.) ATKINS V. KINNIER. This action, wbien was brought to recover damages fir a breach of covenant, was tried at West ninst tit on Saturday la't, befJre Mr. Baron Rife, when a verdict .vas f quid fir the p'aintiff fir 1,0001., with leave tn reduce the damages to one shilling. The plaint if and 'efindant ha 1 been in partnership for a short Feriod as surge ens and apetiecaries, and carried on their business At Dorset-Jresceut, but the defeadttet g ive up his share in it to the plaintiff, and mitered into a stipulation not to practise within a distlnce of t miles and a ha'f, Agreeing to f ay, if he broke this agreement, the sum of 1,0001. The breach was that, before the commencement .f the suit, he eas residing at 44, Trinit;.-sqnare, which, measuring by the usual streets and thoroughfares t was alleged was within two miles and a-half of Dorset-crescent. The plaintiff's re tident..e was situated At the angle of two roads, and there were two ways of approach, the one which was selected by the plaintiff being within about thirty yards of the pre‘cribed dis tance, and the other, which the defendant contended eight to be chosen, it being the most frequented way, .vas slightly beyond it. The Judge held that the plain tiff was entitled ti measure by any usual public way, mud accordingly directed a verdict fir the plaintiff. Mr. HIIRLESTONE now moved for a rale to reduce the larnages ti one shilling, or, in the alternative, for a new on tho ground of misdirection; that the stipulation as to residence in the covenant was void in law, and that the damage found by the jury was not a liquideted damage but a penalty. He contended that the words in the indictment, " the usual ways of approach," were to be construed as meaning the most frequented ways; and it appeared that omnibuses and other descriptions of traffic were generally accustomed to go the longest way, the reason being that there was a turnpike on the other road. _ Mr. Baron ALDERSON observed that he was in the habit, on leaving the court, of sometimes riding home through the park, but it could not be said that that was the most frequented way. Mr. HURLESTONE said that many, in coming to ti.e courts of law, took a near cut through liunge.f)rd Nlarket; but all knew that Charing-cross was by far the most crowdel thoroughfare. The restriction as to resi lence he submit el was illegal and void, on the ground ••f public policy, Lecause it deprived the public of the services of the defendant as a physician. The CHIEF BARON said it E e med t ) him that, under the covenant, any ordinary street might be taken for he purposes of measurement, and t'at though there were two ways, one within and one beyond the dista•.ce, the plaintiff might resort to either. The covenant %at entirely lega'. The direction cf Mr. Baron Rolfe al,- peared to him to be perfectly right, and he thercf,re thought there was no ground for a rule. The other Judges concurring, the application was rt fused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Kinnersley Hooper, of the firm of Hooper and Sons, wine -merchants, at Queenhithe, and son of Mr. Alderman Hooper, was summoned before Sir Chap man Marshall for having assaulted a Mr. Hoey, on the 7th inst., under the following circumstances : Mr. Edward Hoey, landlord of the Beehive public house, New North-road, Hoxton, said,—ln Novem ber, 1848, I dealt with Messrs. Hooper and Co. I continued to deal with them until August, 1849, having had foreign spirits, &c., to the amount of 911., which was paid, all but a small balance of 144. 6d. Of that amount 461. was in advance, or rather transfer. On the sth of January I received a letter demanding payment of the 14s. 6d. before the expiration of a week, in consequence of which I went, on Monday, the 7th, to the &fen dant's counting-house to settle the matter, and, having produced my book to be receipted, laid down a sovereign and received the balance (si. 6d.) in change. Mr. Hooper was present, and I then thanked him for past favours and expressed, my regret at beieg obliged to leave off dealing with the firm, as I could not pay the high prices that were charged, and that I also felt much aggrieved that Mr. Harten, their collector, should have made a remark to another person in the trade, that I was a shabby fel low to leave Mr. Alderman Hooper after the favour that had been granted to my child (admitted into a public school). Mr. Hooper came down from his desk and said, "If you had said as much to me as you did to Mr. Herten, I would have knocked you down 7," and he added, while standing with his back to the fire, "and I should not be particular in doing so now." I replied, " You will not do so without receiv ing provocation," and was buttoning up my coat, when he seized me by the collar, at the back of the leek, saying, " Gat off my premises," and walking me through the warehouse, thrust me into the street. Mr. Hooper said the facts of the case were, that Mr. [Joey had dealt with their house for spirits to the amount of from 281. to 301., and that 50/. had been lent. The complainant had become offended and left them because they charged him sixpence per gallon more for foreign spirits than they did another person, and the reason for so doing was that his credit was extended nine months. With respect to the assault, Mr. Hoey certainly complained of the conduct of Elarten, and he remarked that if complainant had made the same remarks to him as he did to their col lector he would have knocked him down. He ,re fused to leave the premises when desired to do so by the defendant, and he only used a slight force to eject him. In fact, he only walked the complainant to the door. In support of this statement, Mr. Hooper called Charles Allen, a clerk, who said he was present, and receipted complainant's book. Defendant twice desired Mr. Hoey to leave the premiseE, but he would not until Mr. Hooper, after allowing him to get his hat, led him out of the place. Sir C. MARShALL thought the complainant had been ill-advised in the course he had adopted. Tne summons was dismissed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Joseph Whiteside, Henry Prosser, James May, and William Hughes, four labouring men, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having forcibly and illegally taken possession of the White Bear lintel, Piccadilly. Mr. Beckett, a solicitor, said it would be necessary to make a short statement to show the character of the offence the defendants had committed. Some time ago the lease of the White Bear Hotel was pur chased by a person named Jones. The new lessee put in a manager, named Jackson, who, up to the present time, carried on the business of the hotel. Jones made alterations in the house, and was obliged to borrow money. The Law Life-office lent 1,0001. on the lease, &c., and Jackson became security for the amount. Jones became embarrassed and could not repay the 1,000/., and, consequently, the Law Life-office put in a bill of sale, and took possession. Jones was out of the way, and could nowhere be found. Mrs. Jones, however, had that day made her appearance, with the defendants at the bar, turned the occupiers and lodgers out of the hotel, and taken possession of it. The defendants were given into custody, and brought to that court to answer for their conduct. Mrs. Jones had locked herself in one of the rooms and refused to open the door. James Thomas Jackson said he was the present owner of the White Bear Hotel. The licence was in his name. lie had been in possession for the last nine months, and during all that time had acted as owner, buying and selling in the house. No one be sides witness had exercised acts of ownership. That day Mrs. Jones and a body of persons had entered the house and turned everybody out of the bed-rooms. The persons who were with Mrr. Jones said they had the authority of Mrs. Jones for what they did. Mr:. Jones turned one of the lodgers out of his room and locked herself in, declining to make her appearance in a court of law. Mr. Bust:mos—She does not want a court of law. She is a court of law in herself, and able to decide the whole matter in her own wuy. Well, what have you to say to the charge ? The defendants replied, they had been authorised by Mrs. Jones to act as her servants. Mr. BINGHAM said he suspected that would be their defence. However, he would tell them that whoever had advised Mrs. Jones in this matter had badly ad vised her; or, perhaps, she had not been advised at all. It was his duty to declare there was no warrant under the laws of England for what had been done, and the defendants had rendered themselves liable to severe punishment for their conduct. If, however, they were reasonable men they would not hesitate to give him an assurance that they would not go near the house again; and in that case, with the consent of the pro secutor, he would release them from custody. It they refused to give this assurance he should require them to find bail to keep the peace for three months, which, of course, meant that they were not to go near the house again. If there ,vas any dispute about the right of possession the parties must go to a court of law, and not take the law into their own hands. The defendants gave the requisite promise ; and, on entering into their own recognizances, were libe rated. LAMBETH. Thomas Kay and Charles Green were• placed at the bar for further examination on a charge of re ceiving a vast quantity of property, stolen in Leeds and its vicinity, and forwarded to town, with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Games attended for the prisoner Kay, and Mr. Robinson for Green. It appears that since the apprehension of the pri soners six persons, named Joseph Kitchen Christopher Peters, alias Sheffield, Benjamin Wooler, John Ack royd, Matthew Sellers, and William Rhodes, all well known to the police of that place as notorious bur glars, have been apprehended at Leeds and charged before the magistrates there with being guilty of several acts of housebreaking, and forwarding the property, they had stolen to London, and they have been remanded on those charges. Upon the prisoners Kay and Green being placed at the bar, Childs, the inspector of the Leeds detective police, requested that they mieht be transmitted to Leeds to be examined there with the other prisoners on a charge of receiving, with a guilty knowledge, the property the latter had stolen. Mr. Games expressed a hope that tl' . .e worthy magistrate would not consent to the officer's request, unless, indeed, there was placed before him much stronger testimony against his client than that given on a former day, and, at all events, giving him (Mr. Games) an opportunity of putting some further questions to the officer Childs ; and, with this view, he should wish to hear the evidence given on the former day read over. Mr. Noarars assent d to the r.-quest of the latter gentleman, in so far as reading over the evidence taken on Saturday last. Mr. Gunn, the magistrate's clerk, here read over the evidence, and in his cross-examination by Mr Games, Childs said that the parcel direetNi to the residence of the prisoner Kay he first saw at the rail way station at Leeds ; and he opened it in the pre sence of Mr. Read, the superintendent of police at Leeds. He also exhibited it to Mr. Joseph Bate son, the mayor, and, having sealed it up in the same state as before, returned it to the station, to be for warded as originally directed. Was acquainted with the prisoner Kay for twenty years, and had many a glass with him, but not so many as 100. Never knew him to follow the trade of a greengrocer, but had frequently seen him in the Leeds market following his usual occupation—namely, that of a pickoocket. It was considered by all the constables that Kay attended the market for the purpose of pick ing pockets, though he (witness) had never taken him into custody on that charge, for he did not see him do enough to justify his apprehension. About ten days ago he met the prisoner in town, and made an appointment to meet him at Harry Broom's on that night, and had three glasses of brandy and water at his expense. Did not take Kay into custody on that occasion, but told him he held a warrant against him for an assault upon Mark Green, an officer, at York, and asked for 21., which the complainant consented to take, as the assault took place three or four years before. Had seen Kay frequently between the time the warrant had been placed in his hands for his apprehension and the night he named, but he did not attempt to take him. On the last occasion did not ask for 2/. for himself besides the 21. due to Green, the constable ; but he told Kay that if he did not pay the 2/. he should bring the warrant from Leed., get it hacked in London, and apprehend him. At Broom's he told the prisoner Kay he had seen him at a funeral, though he had not so seen him. He would repeat that he did not ask Kay for 21. in addition to the 2/. for Mark Green, the officer. He did not follow the prisoner into a yard at Broom's and take him into custody, but the prisoner became what he called 0 bounceable," upon which he told him that he could be " bounceable " too, arid that if he did not mind what he was about he should take him. It was on the prisoner's return from the yard that he said that if he did not give him the 2/. for Green he should go to Leeds for the warrant, return with it, get it backed, and take him into custody. He had seen the prisoner at Epsom Races, and drank with him ; but did not tell him he should not let him stop there, unless he gave him money. He also met the pri soner at liowden Fair once some time ago, but did net then say that he should not let him stop unless he gave him a sovereign. Mr. Games—Now, recollect you are upon your oath, and upon the solemn obligation of that oath, do you mean to tell the worthy Magistrate and this Court that you have never received any money from my client here ? Kly—For your f ,rbearance as an officer ? Childs —I do tell his Worship so; I never have. M. Games—Pray, have you ever been suspended from your situation as an officer? Childs—l have. Mr: Games—Pray what for? Childs—Why be cause a teetotaller said I had been drinking too much. Mr. Games—And how long did you remain su - pended ? Childs—Three days and a half.—(Laughter.) Mr. Robinson commenced to cross-examine the witness as to the grounds upon which the Mayor of Leeds granted the warrant for the apprehension of his client Green, but was stopped by Mr. NORTON, who told him that there was a right to presume that the warrant was granted on legal grounds, and thereore, his cross-examination was irregular. If he (Mr. Robinson) denied the fact that his client was one of the persons mentioned in the war rant, he should not hear him on that point. Mr. Robinson replied that he could not do this, but he understood his client had been apprehended on the grounds of a few remnants of cloth having been found in his house, and he was prepared with witnesses to show where he had purchased it. Mr. NORTON observed that he could not go into such evidence. From a letter which he had seen on that morning from Leeds, he (Mr. Norton) had no doubt the whole of the cloth found in the prisoner's possession would be most sati-fictorily identified as portions of large robberies committed there, and he should now hand over the prisoners to the officers, to be conveyed to Leeds, and there dealt with by the local magistracy. Mr. Games made application for a portion of the 1801. in the officer's hands, belonging to Kay, to enable him to conduct his defence, but Mr. Norton refused the application. So extensive and frequent were the robberies at eds that it had been suspected that one or more of the local police were implicated in them, and a few mouths ago an application, it is said, had been made to Government to issue a commission, with a view of having a most searching investigation into the matter. From intercepted letters passing between the thieves and receivers, and other information which has reached the officers engaged in the investigation, it appears that a great portion of the stolen plate, jewellery, and watches, have been forwarded to the receivers in town, imbedded in York hams.

The chief features of this plan, the Act for which has been obtained, are the crea tion f sl,ses of 1/. each, fully paid up, thereby avoiding the anxiety attendant upon iracending calls; and the circumstance that the property possessed by th e company i s su ffi cient, without the market, moderate return on the outlay. As known that the present market will not be it t O is give a now suffered much longer to disgrace London, and a mines company possesses the only property available i diately as a substitute, we consider it to possess the chief elements of success; and. from the very large sphere to which its operations will extend, we cannot doubt that the returns will very shortly reach those of the company established for a similar purpose in Liverpool, and which pays to the shareholders 12 per cent. FRIDAY EVENING-, JANUARY 18; 1850. SOUTHWARK. James Lansdowne was brought up for re-examina tion, charged, with another man not in custody, with breaking into a house in Blackman-street. The circumstances attending the alleged offence are of rather a singular description, the accused being, up to the period of his apprehension, a man of good character and carrying on the business of a confec tioner in the vicinity of this court. The prisoner, who said he should reserve his de fence for his trial, was committed. THE COUNTRY MARKETb. BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 17.—At Gloucester and Worces ter markets, on the 12th, the wheat trade ruled dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting t, a reduction of Is per quarter, but holders would not generally give way. Barley of all kinds Gd to is per qr lower. Oats maintained their value, and fine ones are scarce. No further decline took place in Beans or Peas. During the present week the t an,actions in the traele have again been on the most limited scale, the conti nuance of the very severe weather having eat a d no improvement in any article of the tulle. Wheat and barley are both offering at Is per quarter under former prices. The few oat: which have changed hands rt alised quit) a 4 much money. Beaus held for former prices. Peat nominally unaltered.
