THE SUN, of performing fixed Federative obligations, will have a voice or a share of a vni C T 3 cannot yet be given, as some modifications may yet be made in them; but thus much may be stated with certainty, that the Directory will include eleven Totes, of which Prussia and Austria will have two each, and that to enable it to act with effect against external and internal enemies, it will have an army of 135,000 men at its disposition, to maintain which all the States will be bound, and each State will preserve its voice in the Directory only by the performance of the obligation thus imposed on it." The Prince of Prussia will return to Coblenta im mediately after the 18th. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. After the submission of the Lieutenancy-General of the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein to the federal Commissioners, a sort of diplomatic congress was opened at Hamburgh, consisting of those Commis sioners, of a representative of the Lieutenancy- General, of the Government of Lauenburg, and of the two Danish Commissioners, for the definitive ar rangement of the affairs of the Duchies. " The two representatives of Dennmark (says the Indepenclance of Brussels) raised pretensions to which the federal Commissioners did not seem disposed to subscribe, and grave difficulties were foreseen. Denmark, in the first place, protests against the occupation of Rends burg by the Holstei n t roo p s . O n thi s po i n t, how ever,it is thought that satisfaction will be given to it." The Danish troops had left their positions on the frontier of Schleswig and Holstein, to return to those of Dannervirke. A letter from Copenhagen of the 12th mentions the departure of the Danish Minister of Finances for Dresden and Vienna on a diplomatic mission. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

Cossack, Wallflower, Lady Evelyn, Knight of Avenal, Raby, Italian, Flying Gout, Haricot, Peep-o'-day Boy, and Woolwich, have all been in great force, and there is every appearance of a large amount of business being done upon the race. Cossack was backed once at 22 to 1.

FURTHER REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.—In conga sequence of it having been communicated to the Colonial authorities at the Mauritius, that the mili tary force stationed there must in future be main tained out of the revenue of the Island, they have requested that the 2d Battalion, 12th Regiment, should embark for England, when on its arrival it will be amalgamated with the Ist Battalion, now at Chatham. THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN THE MEDITER RANEAN.—A statement has been put in circulation to the effect that " Admiral Parker is expected to come home passenger in the Powerful." We have the best authority for believing that that there is no truth whatever in the report, and that the Gallant Vice-Admiral has no intention whatever of returning in the Powerful. CANDIDATES FOR COMMISSIONS. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Military Secretary, in his evidence before the Committee of Army and Ordnance Expenditure, stated that the number of candidates for commissions during the last seven years amounted to between 1,000 and 1,200, and that upwards of 200 had been on the list upwards of three years ; that it was not the practice to give commissions by rotation, but a selection was made by the Commander-in-Chief. GIFT TO CHELSEA HOSTPITAL.—Lord John Russell has presented to the library of the pensioners of the Royal Military Hospital, Chelsea, an interesting set of books entitled " Hog's Instructor." This gift must be considered as demonstrating the feelings of the Premier as regards the continuance of that establishment, over which he so ably presided some years since, and in which he greatly corrected many irregularities, which will always creep into institutions of the age Chelsea Hospital had then reached. His Lordship always took the warmest interest in the welfare of the re treat for the cld and worn-out soldier of the British army, notwithstanding the many foul-mouthed at tacks made upon it by parties who are ever eager to bring public departments into odium at the expense of truth. EMBARKATION OF TROOPS.—The ships La Belle Alliance left the River on the 11th, and the Lady Flora on the 16th of January, for Portsmouth, to embark the 30th Regiment for Corfu, and the ship Jaya left the River on the 16th instant, for Cork, to convey the 47th Regiment to Corfu. CAVALRY REGIMENTS IN IRELAND.—The follow ing Regiments of Cavalry stationed in Ireland, are first on the roster for Great Britain, viz. :-6th (Inni;killing) Dragoons, 17th Lancers, 4th (Queen's Own) Light Dragoons, 7th (Queen's) Hussars, 6th Dragoon Guards, Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards, 12th Royal Lancers, and 17th Lancers. DEPOTS IN IRELAND.—The following depots of infantry regiments stationed in Ireland are first on Cie roster for Great Britain, viz.:-6th Royal, 54th, 73d, 59th, 41st, 49th, and 47th. A DESERTER SHOT.—A soldier of a detachment of the 38th Regiment, stationed at Sidney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, was shot by Lieutenant Green when attempting to desert. THE FEVER AT ST. Tuomas's.—We announced last week the death of Lieutenant Mooney, of the Scorpion, surveying vessel, at St. Thomas's. He I caught fever ashore. Of the ninety soldiers garri soning St. Thomas's, eighty-seven were laid up at one time with the same malady. Latest accounts state that the fever was abating. SCARCITY OF BOYS IN THE SERVICE.—In CODS@•• ' quence of the restrictions which have lately been put by the Admiralty on the entry of boys into the navy, arid the immediate promotion of boys as vacancies occur on foreign stations, the number of boys are so scarce at the different ports, that every ship fitting out is short of her complement. SOLDIERS BECOMING SETTLE RS. —Between 200 and 300 men have been allowed by Major-General Pitt, isinNw Aland, to has been e done partly Ze e t . roo l p ,h s purchase th ri commandingd i discharge. h the arg to indu ce respectable men to become settlers. That with the view of a reduction of the army, as we ll as so many men are able to effect their discharge by purchase is a striking instance of the improvement in the morals of our troops, and we hope to see it carried out with spirit amongst our soldiers in all the colonial possessions of the British Grown. R GEM Y. It is an accepted fact that a f AN ull understanding has been come to by Austria and Prussia as to the basis of the new executive power for Germany. Tne Voss's Zeitung o f thi s morning contains the following article :-- ~ The differerces said to have arisen in Dresden, are, we believe, arranged.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday :—] FRAN CE. There was a grand reception at the Elysee on Thursday evening, and never had the salons of the President of the Republic been no crowded ; upwards of 5,000 persons presented their respects to him in the course of the evening.—M. De Lamartine and M. Horace Vernet were present when the debate in the Assembly was resumed yesterday. M. Baroche as cended the tribune, for the purpose of replying to the attacks made upon the Government by MM. Jules de Leysterie and Berryer. Having given explana tions on the subject of the constitution of the Society of the 10th December, and of the riots at Havre, M. Baroche commented on the declarations of M. Berryer in the following terms : " M. Berryer stated that the Cabinet had dissolved the majority —no, it was M. Berryer and his friends, who by openly proclaiming their aspirations and hopes had broken up that majority, formed, at a moment of danger, against the common enemy. General Changar nier had become, unknowingly, he believed, and in spite of himself, the hope of those parties. ( You adopted that measure too late,' exclaimed General Leflo. It is never too late to adopt a good measure,' replied the Minister.) " M. Baroche then arrived at the journeys to Clare mont and Wiesbaden. He conceived that men who owed so much to a fallen monarch should not abandon him in misfortune. The President of the Republic felt it him self, and told his Ambassador that, although he was the representative of the Republic in London, he . found it quite natural that he should v isit in affliction an august family, who had admitted him into their inti macy. The President had likewise completely ap proved the conduct of a distiuguished member (M. Thiers) of the Asse m bly, who had repaired to Clare mont to present his homages to the august exiles. That member had told him (M. Baroche), I hope I may have an opportunity to explain that journey. I went to Claremont to salute a king I had dearly loved. After his death, I seated myself between the Duchess of Or leans and the Count of Paris. There was no King of France nor King of the French at Claremont. If such a title had been given in my presence I should have re tired, for I never will recognize a title that is not sanc tioned by the laws of my country.' (' He said an ab surdity,' exclaimed M. de Mornay.—Agitation.) At Wiesbaden the case was widely different. There was a Sovereign who, to use the expression of M. Berryer, bore in him the principle of public sovereignty as the heir el a long series of royal ancestors, and who could only return to France as her kieg. The Legitimatists had alone broken up that majority. The Cabinet, however, disdained and did not fear manifestations having for their object the restoration of either the eider or younger branch of the Bourbons. The Government had remained on the ground of the Constitution, well knowing that the country desired no royal or imperial restoration. The people were tired of those revolutions which de stroyed each other and created fresh enemies. He knew not what form of government Providence reserved to France, but he trusted, with the President of the Re public, that neither passion, surprise, nor violence, should dispose of the fate of this great nation. There was no salvation but in the maintenance of the republican form, which least divided the country, sad he hoped that the majority would frankly adopt the policy of the Message of the 12th of November.—(Loud applause.) " General Changarnier next rose and said, that when he was invested with the supremehommand of the army of Paris five parties divided the country—the Legitimatists, Orleanists, the Moderate Republicans, the Demagogues, and men desirous of establishing an Imperial dictatorship without either glory or genius. He had favoured none of those parties, nor been the instrument of any conspi racy. or conspirator. He had proved himself the de fender of the laws and order ; the promoter of that tranquillity indispensable to commercial traasactions, and he prided in having been accessary to the re-establish meet of the peace which the capital and the whole of France now enjoyed. He had, he repeated, favoured no faction nor conspirators, and he was certain that the Mi nisters would not deny that his presence at the Tuileries had been ueeful•to them. His sword had been replaced in its scabbard, but was not broken, and would ever be found at the service of his country. " After some explanations given by M. de Mornay, re lative to his interruption, M. Thiers ascended the tribune. " M. Thiers said, that he reluctantly appeared at the tribune on such an occasion, and proclaimed with the deepest chagrin his secession from the ranks of the sup porters of the Cabinet. Ever since his election he had voted, first for M. Lamartine, afterwards for General Cavaignac, and finally for the Government of M. Louis Napoleon. He had cordially co-operated in every mea sure calculated to strengthen his authority, and assist him in the accomplishment of his mission, with the firm determination the moment he put forward any preten sions to oppose them. He then explained the part he had taken in the election of the lada December. Had the Moderate party adopted another candidate the current of the masses favouring Louis Napoleon, it would have been divided, and General Cavaignac raised to the Presidency. After his elevation the President had done him the honour of consulting him. M. Thiers had recommended him to call into his councils men who had not been long in office, because they would be ex posed to the attacks of parties. The President having long resided out of France wits not aware of her wants. lie was frightened at the ardour of the public mind, and be wished to occupy it by some enterprise or war abroad, or some great popular creation, calculated to seduce the imagination of the masses. M. Thiers combated the first, as one of those immense faults committed, under more excusable circumstances, by Napoleon. Ho advised him to do everything to re-establish security, and he now claimed for the,Legislative as well as the Executive power a share in the prosperity which the country enjoyed. The dismissal of the Cabinet of M. Odilen Barrot, by the message of the 31st of October, 1849, proved that if the Bonapartist family had become familiar with Repub lican ideas, it had not become so with those of the Re presentative Government. The majority, which had supported that Cabinet, had not seceded from its suc cessors; and yet, under such a system, it was indispen sable that an Administration should possess the confi dence of the Assembly. M. Thiers and his friends had drawn no unfavourable comparisons, and continued the staunch supporters of the Government. Some agitation having manifested itself, in consequence of the Socialist elections of Paris, the President had again done him the honour of consulting him. M. Thiers had recom mended a modification in the Electoral Law, and a Com mittee had been appointed to amend it. The Government wished the Committee to assume the responsibility of the presentation of the law. (` You are in errror,' observed M. Baroche, the Government was anxious to present the law itself.') M. Thiers denied it, at the same time that he consented to share the responsibility of a law which had restored security to the Republic: It was feared that its promulgation would have been the signal of an insurrection. This apprehension, however, was not realised, thanks to the energetic attitude of the army of Paris and of its intrepid chief, and also to the prudence of the demagogical party, who renounced attacking public order by arms. A few days afterwards, the Ministry pre sented the Dotation Bill. He frankly admitted that he had granted it with reluctanee, because it tended to per vert the institution of the Presidency. The majority voted the dotatioa, and thus proved that it was dis posed to subscribe to any sacrifice for the sake of union, for had they rejected it it would have destroyed the good harmony betwee n th e L eg i slat i ve and Executive Powers, and divided the great party of order. He and his friends, he repeated, had given the P res id ent sound adviee• they refaced to accept portfolios, b u t i nvar i ably sup p orted those who were In possession of them. M. Thiers then related the circumstances of his journey to Claremont, in the terms mentioned by M. Baroche. He had gone to visit on a dying bed a Monarch whose policy he had combated, at the same time that he cherished his person. lie could not suffer him to die without paying him a last homage. He had apprised the President of his in tention, who left him the liberty of his affections. The Count de Paris was called before him by no other title, for it was the sole title conferred upon him by France. ner'e M. Segur d'Agueseenu interrupted M. Tillers, and asked what he thought of the Pilgrimage to Wies baden.—(Laughter.) M. Thiers —" I leave you and the Ministers the task of disclving the majority."—(Applause on the Right, and cries of n " -rder, order.") M. Thiers then proceeded to examine the Procia-verbaux of the Permanent Com mittee, and expressed deep affliction, nay indignation, at the cries of " Vire l'Enapereur" uttered in the Plain of Sa'tory, whether they were. encouraged or not b" th e Government. reminded him of th e era o f tf.e Caesars, when the legions proc:aimed th e E mperors. It was po shire that Genera! Nenmayer had b een superseded in his command because he prohibited those cries.

The landing of the com panies from the Mediterranean stations, Gibraltar, and Jamaica, took place to-day. At ten o'clock six prisoners, recently belonging to line regiments at Corfu, and now under sentence of transportation, were sent oa shore from the Resistance troop-ship, and placed under the es cort of six gunners of the Royal Artillery, in charge of a sergeant, to deliver them at Milbank Penitentiary. The greater part of the forenoon was occupied in taking the luggage on shore, and the tide being most suitable for taking the men on shore, they disembarked at two o'clock, P.M., from the Resistance and the Apollo, and after their knapsacks were all inspected by Custom- house searchers, which occupied about half an hour, they marehed up to the garrison, headed by the band of the regiment. The officers who came home in the Resist ance were Captain Dunlop, Captain Gardner, Second Captain Broughton, Lieutenants Ncble, Andrews, Orr, Bruce, Anketell, and Heberden. 122 invalids from the two vessels, with 46 women and a number of children, were put on board one of the Woolwich Company's boats for conveyance to Chatham in the course of the afternoon, the men being from line regiments. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK. GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE COAST GUARD AND FISHERMEN NEAR THE LAND'S END. Early oa Saturday morning, the 11th inst., the brig New Commercial, of Whitby, 250 tons burden, Sander son master, bound from Liverpool to the Spanish main, in a thick fog and strong gale from the S.S.W., struck upon a ledge of rocks between the Great and Little Bris son, two high rocks rising between 60 and 70 feet above high water mark, about one mile off the bluff headland of Cape Cornwall, and four miles northward from the Land's End. The sea running very high the vessel im mediately went to pieces, and the crew, nine men with one woman, the wife of the master, got on the ledge. They were discovered from the shore as soon as day broke, but no assistance could then be possibly rendered them. In this perilous condition the poor creatures remained until about nine o'clock, when they were all washed off together by one tremendous wave and hurled into the boiling deep. Seven out of the ten sank at once into a watery grave. Of the remaining three, one, a mulatto, contrived to get on a portion of the floating wreck, and after having been beaten about for some hours in imminent peril of being every instant swallowed up by the breakers, he managed with a remarkable coolness and presence of mind, by means of a plank which he used as a paddle, and a piece of canvass which served him for a sail, with the assistance of the strong tides, to keep clear of the broken waters. Whilst this poor fellow was thus struggling for life, with all the resources which his ingenuity could suggest to him, amid the anxious expectations of the people who witnessed his attempt from the shore, whose lofty cliffs were now crowded by upwards of 2,000 spectators, five fishermen belonging to Sennen, a small fishing cove close to the Land's End, after much debate among themseves, determined, with that bold and resolute spirit for which these men are distinguished, to launch their boat (the Grace) through the breakers, in which they happily succeeded, and eventually, after encountering great difficulty and risk, they rescued the poor mulatto from his perilous situation. The other two, the master and his wife, when they were carried off the ledge, were washed upon the Little Brisson Rock, which rises in a peaked head, and is the resort of numerous sea fowl. The master first gained a footing upon the rock, and upon looking around him saw his wife struggling in the waves, but sufficiently near to enable him to stretch out his hand and pull her in. While the Sennen fishermen were occupied in rescuing the mulatto, her Majesty's revenue cutter Sylvia, com manded by Mr. Forward, was see❑ gallantly working round the Land's End, having been ordered to the spot by Captain Davies, R.N., the late and still acting in specting-commander of the coast-guard of this district. Captain Davies himself and several of his officers took up their stations upon the lofty promontory of Cape Cornwall, overlooking the Brissocs. On reaching the point Mr. Forward bunched his boat, and attempted, with a crew of four men, to get near the rock; but the attempt was fruitless, and it was only with great difficulty that he regained the cutter, to the great relief of Captain Davies and the numerous spectators upon the cliffs, who rejoiced to perceive that though success did not attend his daring exploit, still he himself and his gallant crew at least were safe. It was now growing late, and nothing more could be attempted in the way of rescue for the day, so Mr. Forward hoisted his colours and hove-to his craft, to encourage the poor sufferers, who were now to be left to spend the wretched night without food or shelter, exposed to the winds and rain upon this desolate rock, amid the wide waste of waters, and to assure them that they had still a friend, who, with God's blessing, would stand by and not forsake them. On Sunday morning the wind happily drew a little to .he south-east, which caused the sea to abate; all hands were immediately on the alert, and if great excitement prevailed among the people along the coast on Saturday, it was not at all lessened on this day. Hundreds began to assemble as soon as it was light, and the number greatly increased as the day wore on. Towards the middle of the day the sun shone ont, and, by light ing up the magnificent scenery of the coast all round, added greatly to the feverish interest of the scene. At one o'clock four boats were seen approaching from the Sennen Cove—three manned by fishermen and one by the coast-guard; at the same time Captain Davies arrived, having embarked in a preventive boat at a small cove named Peedeen, about three miles N.E. of the spot, with four preventive men and one miner, taking rockets with bim. The cutter's boat also was manned by Mr. Forward, so that six boats were speedily on the spot. By this time the scene had become one of the most exciting description, and the crowds of people upon the cliffs could not have numbered less than 5,000 or 6,000 ; and, as each boat arrived at the spot, the cheers of this vast multitude, awakening all the echoes of this cavernous coast, added not a little to the ex citement. The sea still ran so high that no boat could venture within 100 yards of the rock. The rockets which Captain Davies had taken with him in the preventive boat had never been tried here before, even from the shore, and we believe never elsewhere from a boat. By the printed instructions the persons firing should be at least fifty feet in the rear to be free from danger. One of the men, a gunner, volunteered to fire them, although he had never seen one used before; but Cap tain Davies, with a generous and disinterested consider ation, would not suffer any of his crew to incur a risk which he himself did not share ; so, after making his arrangements, and having placed his crew in one of the Sennen boats, he remained alone, and with his own hand discharged the rocket. He was inveloped in an instant in a, sheet of flame from the back fire. Happily, how ever he sustained no injury, but unfortunately the line which reached the r ck fell upon a sharp ledge, whi c h cut the rope so that the end of it slipped off into the sea. It is impossible to describe the disappointment expe rienced by the people upon the cliffs and in the boats at this unfavourable result of such a daring experiment. After a short delay, however, another rocket was prepared, which Captain Davies again himself dis charged, and this time the cord fell on the rock close by the man, to the great joy and delight of the as sembled multitude, whose minds had been so long oscil lating between hope and fear. As the cord fell on the rock the woman was observed to raise her clasped hands in apparent thank fulness. At this critical moment the sun, which had again hidden himself behind the damp dark clouds, shone forth once more with increased brilliancy, and whilst it seemed to speak hope to the bosoms of the anxious spectators, the man on the rock was seen to fasten the line around the waist of his wife, and to encourage her to take the fearful leap, whilst she lingered and hesi tated to jump into the foaming waters. After some little time, however, his persuasions prevailed. They took an affecting leave of each other, and, amid the breathless expectations of all, she made the awful plunge from a height of about twelve feet. At this moment three im mense waves broke in rapid succession, perilling the safety of all. For a ti me , i n d ee d, t h e oats were en tirely hidden from the view of the spectators, and the loud cry broke forth from thousands of voices, " They are gone!" The females in particular among the crowd were so horror-stricken that they actually turned away their heads from the fearful spectacle before them, and shrieked aloud. But soon again the boats were seen above the swelling waves, and the lofty cliffs once more rung with aeprov ing cheers. The cord was drawn with great judgment, and after about three minutes the poor woman was taken into one of the boats; but tho blows from the waves were POLICE INTELLIGENCE. more than her exhausted frame could bear. No atten tion that could be shown her was spared.

At this court, on Friday, a case of an extraordinary nature was heard. At the Devon Spring Assizes, for 1849, the Rev. Charles Rookes, LL.D., a clergyman re siding in Exeter, and rector of the parish of Nymet Roland, in the North of Devon, figured as defendant in an action for seduction (" Brookes v. Rookes"), and was cast in 1001. damages. He afterwards obtained a rule for a new trial, on the ground of excessive demages, but did not again appear in court. Sub sequent l y proceed ings were instituted against him b y t h e B i shop of Exeter, under the Church Discipline Act. He consented to submit to the jurisdiction of the Bishop. and his Lord ship ultimately deprived him of his living. The Rev. Gentleman now brought an action against Mr. Godfrey, the ,clerk to his solicitor in the csse of " Brookes v. Rookes," laying the damages at 501., the highest sum of which the County Court can take cognizance, alleging as his ground of action that the defendant had improperly advised him, and had also guaranteed for the sum of 51. to carry him harmless through the affair. The plaintiff now con ducted his own case in a most extraordinary way; he had subpoenaed the Bishop of Exeter, and the Commis sioners who had sat on the preliminary inquiry, under the Church Discipline Act; but for what object hardly appeared. The Rev. George Martin, Chancellor of the diocese, was the only one of the commission who at tended; and the only interrogatory which the plaintiff put was the extraordinary one—" Whether he did not think that the decision which the Commissioners had come to was against the evidence?" which was of course replied to by an emphatic negative. The solicitor for the plaintiff in the seduction case was also called to state his opinion as to whether he b•ad not got up the case against the rev. seducer for the purpose of persecution? Other witnesses were called, to whom equally irrelevant ques tions were put, despite the repeated interference of the Learned Judge, and, a ft er a most unseemly exhibition on the part of the plaintiff, he at once gave judgment for the defendant, with costs. MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1851; MARLBOROUGH -STREET. „Tohn Williams, Greenfiphl, '1 11 9.3 SIMPOW Jack. James I.:Adler. alias Young Dutch Sam, William Johnson, aliaa the Irish Barber, Charles Gosling, alias Little Charley, and John Moran, five well-known burglars, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having broken into the shop of Mr. John Varley, tailor and woollen-draper, No. 44, Tottenham-court-road, and stolen therefrom cloth and other property of the value of 1501., besides about 355. in money. Police-constable Bingham, E 153, said about two o'clock that morning he saw the prisoners Johnson and Gosling loitering about Tottenham-court-road and the by streets. He followed them unperceived, and noticed that they knocked at the door of No. 44, Tottenham court-road. The door was immediately unlocked and opened, and Cotter and Williams came out, and pulled the door to. All four then walked together down Tot tenham-court-road, as far ae Percy -street. Witness suspected something wrong bad taken place, and he procured the assistance of another constable. Witness secured Cotter and Gosling, the other constable took Johnson, but Williams contrived to get away. On the way to the station Gosling wrenched him self from witness and ran off. The others were secured and lodged in the station-house. Witness afterwards went to No. 44, Tottenham-court -road, and woke up the inmates. The door was open at the time, and in the passage he saw the bag and cloth produced in court lying on the floor, He examined the lock of the door leading into the shop, and found it had been wrenched off by a jemmy, which was lying near. He looked over the shop and found the till open. On searching Cotter at the station he found one sovereig 1, two half-crowns, six shillings, and five sixpences; and on searching Johnson he found half-a-crown, two shillings, and sixpence, some copper money, and a street-door key. Witness after wards proceeded to a low lodging-house in the Seven dials, and apprehended Williams in bed there. On the way to the station Williams said he knew nothing at all about the burglary. Witness knew Williams, but not the other prisoners. Police-constable Bruce, E 82, proved that he saw Johnson and Gosling lurking about Mr. Varley's shop at an early hour that morning. He followed them to Percy-street, and by the directions of the last witness he took Johnson into custody. Police-constable Lisegdon, F 42, stated that at 6 o'clock that morning he received information of the burglary, with the description of the prisoners. He im mediately went to No. 12, Cleveland -street, where he knew Gosling lodged, and found him in bed. He told him he was charged with burglary, and he must go to the station. The prisoner said he was innocent of the burglary. Mr. John Varley said he is a tailor and woollen draper, carrying on business at No. 44, Tottenham court-road. He knew Gosling by sight. Last night he was the last up in the house, and retired to bed about 11 o'clock, having previously seen that all the door fasten. ings were secure. About 4 o'clock in the morning he was aroused by the constable ringing the bell, and on coming down stairs he found the chain of the door un hooked, and the bolt removed. In the passage he found a large bag full of cloth, and close by were lying several pieces of cloth. The goods were perfectly safe when he left the shop the previous night. The till had been forced open, and the contents, amounting to 1/. 155., abstracted. The lock of the shop door had been broken off. His be lief was that the burglary had been effected by some one of the prisoners secreting himself in the shop at the time of elceing, and that when all was quiet in the house the other prisoners were let in. About six o'clock in the morning, in consequence of hearing a noise in the kitchen, he went down stairs, and on looking up the chimney he saw the prisoner Moran sitting in a recess. He pulled him down and gave Win into the custody of a constable. The prisoner had on a new coat, which was prosecutor's property. The whole of the cloth produced by the police belonged to him. Hillman, foreman to Mr. Varley, recollected Williams coming to the shop to bargain for a pair of trousers. He showed him several pairs, but he went away without buying any, saying he had altered his mind, and would wait till he could get a better pair. On Tuesday last Gosling came to the shep and asked to see some em broidered waistcoats, but, after looking at a good many, he left the shop without making a purchase. The prisoners, who are well known to the police as belonging to the Hackett gang, were remanded. LAMBETH. Frederick William (alias Captain) Routledge, principal of the ‘Vigram and Co. gang of swindlers, was placed at the bar for further examination on a charge of fraudu lently obtaining from Mr. Richard Kilsby Johnson, a glass manufacturer at St. Helen's, Lancashire, the sum of 2131. 16s. Mr. Games attended for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that, on the 31st of July last, he received by post the printed circular produced, signed George and William Bruce, Frances-street, Newington, which stated that these persons were in the habit of pro curing good and respectable bona fide London and coun try bills of exchange, for merchants and others who might require them, upon being paid a commission, and offering to furnish him (Mr. Johnson) with such things, if he was in need of them. On receiving this circular he wrote to Mr. Bruce, according to the direction, and in reply to that letter received another circular, which he also produced, offering to let him have bills to the amount of 5001., on the payment of a commis sion of 251. He did not take any notice of this cir cular, but on the 4th of August he received a third, signed George and William Bruce, renewing the offer to forward bills, but he also passed that without notice. On the 10th of August he received a fourth circular, with a note written at the bottom as follows:—" We can for ward you just now some bills which we think would just , suit your lino of busin ess . (Si gne d) G . an d W.B. '— On the 15th of this month he (Mr. Johnson) addressed a letter to Messrs. G. and W. Bruce, Frances-street, Newington-butts, requesting them to forward a bill for 200/., at six or nine months' date, and enclosed in his letter the half of a 101. note as the commission. In re ply to this he received the printed letter now produced, dated 17th of August, 1850, enclosing a bill of exchange for 2131. 165., at four months' date, drawn by William Balfour, of Glasgow, upon Henry Butt, merchant, King-street, London, accepted by that person, and made payable at Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, the bankers, in Lombard-street. Before receiving this bill he sent the second half of the 104 note, the commission money, and received a printed letter, ackowledging the re ceipt of the 101., signed Geo. and W. Bruce." The bill sent him he (witness) got discounted at a bunker's at St. Helen's, and on its becoming due he enclosed in a registered letter the sum of 210/. in bank notes, and a Post-office order for 4/. 4s. 6d., and forwarded it to Messrs. George and W. Bruce, Frances-street, Newington-butts, with instruc tions that 2131. 16s. should be sent to the banking house of Messrs. Glyn and Co., to take up the bill, and that the remaining Bs. 6d. was the balance of commission. On the Bth of December he received the letter produced, acknowledging the receipt of his remittance, and the letter was signed as before, " Geo. and W. Bruce." On the 10th of December he received a notice that the bi was not paid, and on the same day he received the fo lowing letter:— "Sir,—We are extremely sorry to inform you that your bill will be returned unpaid. Our clerk has made a most gross mistake in paying some wrong bills, when no money had been remitted for that purpose, and those who, like yourself, have behaved so honourably, are un paid; but do not give yourself any uneasiness about the matter. Although we deplore the circumstance greatly, you shall not lose one farthing by us. We much regret any inconvenience this may occasion you, and will send any more bills you may require free of any expense, till this unfortunate business is arranged to your satisfaction. We are now going into the country after the parties fir our money back again, and on our return you shall hear from us again. " Believe us, yours truly, " GEO. and W. BRUCE. •- - - " 9th December, 1850." After this he (Mr. Johnson) received a letter in reply to one written by him to Me ssrs . G . an d W . B ruce , stating that they would remit him the money in ten days, but t they after thhadthat. t.for Theg(tt forgotten billto h he had so, and h h ad received e did themselves, fro n n a t not ahtsheseatri Messrs.all i n r t he the Bruce, as they had designated hands of the banking firm by whom it had been cashed, and who, o f order course, produced held him wash t liablee o for n e its he h adforwarded amount. The Post-office with the remittance, and the writing at the bottom i s i n the same handwriting as the manuscript note to th e bottom of one of the circulars he had received, signed " Geo. and W. Bruce." After some further evidence, The prisoner, who is very much altered i n appearance since the last examination, was remanded to a future day THAMES. William Bast, a hoop-bender, aged 18, of 33, London: street, Ratcliffe, who stands charged with shooting a labouring man named Robert Ablett, by firing a gun from his premises, appeared before Mr. Ingham on his recognizances. Inspector Smith, of the K division, said the inquest on the body had commenced that morning and been ad journed. Mr. INGHAM said the business of the Court was very heavy, It was then f our o ' clock, and there were more cases to dispose of th an h e could get through that day. It was impossible for him to hear the case of the prisoner until Thursday next, but he would not suffer by the delay, because the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court would not commence till the first week in Fe bruary. The prisoner was upon bail, and he would en large the recognisances until Thursday afternoon. The prisoner's sureties having consented to the enlargement of their recognisances the prisoner was liberated. The evidence given before the magistrate was repeated before the coroner, and in addition it was stated that the bullet was found in the deceased's heart, and that the distance from the place where East fired the gun to the deck of the Lively schooner, where the deceased fell mortally wounded, was 240 yards. The distance had been ac curately measured by the police since the prisoner was before the magistrate on Friday.

ASSAULT ON JUR. MIALL. The legal proceedings against the Rev. Messrs. Cole and Over for the assault committed on Mr. Miall, at the Papal Aggression meeting at Islington, have been abandoned on the receipt of the following apologies, and their payment of the costs incurred:- 39, Highbury-place, Jan. 4, 1851. Dear Sir,—l have already twice apologized to Mr. Mall for the purely unintentional fall which he met with at the Islington meeting. I certainly used sufficient force to remove Mr. Miall, sideways, about a yard along the platform; but I had not the slightest idea of the proximity of the steps to the platform (two, I believe ,in number) down which he fell. For whatever degree or manner of force I used, as primarily causing that fall, I have (as I have said) already twice apologized—once to Mr. Miall before the whole meeting and again to Mr. Miall, personally and studiously, after the same meeting; which latter apology Mr. Miall, at the time, accepted. Nor have I ever uttered one word since to detract from the sincerity and full intent of those apologies. As a Christian person, and a gentleman (terms I pub licly used), I can, of course, have no objection whatever to repeat such apology a third time in writing. I do not deny the right which Mr. Miall had, as a parishioner, to move any legal amendment; and I ac knowledge that the Chairman had not declared Mr. Miall's amendment to be irrelevant. I beg on this ground, also, to apologize to Mr. Miall, and to express my regret that I should, through inexperience in such mutters, have violated any recognized usage of public meetings, which time has established. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, 1 HENRY COLE. To W. 11. Ashurst, Esq., &c. &c. Islington, Jan. 6, 1851. Dear Sir,—l certainly used sufficient force, at the meeting of the parishioners of Islington, on the Bth No vember, to remove Mr. Miall sideways along the plat form, but I was not aware of the proximity of the steps down which he fell. For whatever force I used for causinc , that fall, I n ow a p o l og i ze to hi m, as the Rev. Mr. Cole' did at the time. I do not deny the right which Mr. Miall had, as a parishioner, to move any legal amendment; and I acknowledge that the Chairman had not declared Mr. Miall's amendment to be irrelevant. I beg on this ground also to apologize to Mr. Miall, and to express my regret that I should have violated any recognized usage of public meetings. I remain, dear Sir, very respectfully yours, To W. H. Ashurst, Esq. EDWARD OVER. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS, Jan. 18; In the Exchequer Chamber, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE of the Common Pleas, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, Mr. Justice ERLE, and Mr. Baron MARTIN.) QUEEN v. MORTIMER REALEY. In this case, in which the defendant was found guilty, at the Central Criminal Court, of attempting to obtain goods under false pretences, from John Baddeley and others, The COURT affirmed the conviction. QUEEN V. DAWSON. The prisoner, Frederick Augustus Dawson, was in dicted and convicted at the Central Criminal Court for forgery. It appeared at the trial that the prisoner uttered a &mu nent which purported to be a genuine one, for the pur pose of obtaining the sum of 9s. from John Lave. The document was a bill-head of the ordinary kind, showing on the face of it that John Lave was indebted to Frances Dawson in two bushels of apples of the value of 95., and there was appended to the end of it a note to the following effect, purporting to be written by Mrs. Frances Daw son :—" Sir,—l hope you will excuse me asking for such a trifle, but I have received a lawyer's letter this morn ing, and unless I make up a certain sum of money by one o'clock an action will be brought against me, and I am, therefore, obliged to hunt after every shilling." This paper was described in one count of the indictment as an order, and in two others as al:warrant, and the question reserved for the opinion of this court was, whether that was a proper description of such written paper under the statute. Mr. REPTON, who was heard in support of the appeal and against the conviction, contended that the document was neither a warrant nor an order, but a simple request, which the party might. or might not obey. The statute seemed to conte m pl a t e an o ff ence of this kind, for it mentioned a warrant-order or request; and the meaning of penal statutes ought to be strictly construed according to the terms employed. in using the words warrant and order, the Legislature no doubt intended that they should not travel beyond the ordinary meaning which in commercial dealings were attached to such terms. The necessary ingredient of a warrant or order was this:—lt must be drawn by a party who had authority to do so, and addressed to a party who was bound to obey it. Now, the party to whom this document was given was not bound to pay the amount, for it might so happen that he kept a running account with Mrs. Daw son, or had three months' credit. Another distinguishing quality of a warrant was, that the party obeying it, had a sufficient indemnity of the consequences of his act, because if a civil action was afterwards brought to reco ver the amount, the production of the document would he a sufficient defence to the action. In the present case, however, the document, supposing it was a genuine one, would not show that the request it contained had been complied with, and therefore would not be a good de fence against the claim, without some other additional evidence that the money had been paid. On these grounds he contended that the indictment was bad under the statute, and that the conviction ought to be quashed. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I think, if this were a genuine order, and the party paid the money, he would afterwards have a good defence to any further claim should he happen to be in possession of the document. I am of opinion, therefore, that this is clearly a warrant or order, and that the conviction ought to be affirmed. Conviction affirmed accordingly. QUEEN V. R. C. BIRD AN D SARAH BIRD. The prisoners in this case were convicted of assault at the last Exeter assizes, having previously been acquitted on the higher charge of murder, an d an appeal was sub sequently made to this Court to quash the conviction, but the judges before whom the appeal was argued did not agree in opinion, and no decision was given. Their Lordships now intimated that the case would be heard before all the judges on Saturday the 25th of January. GAS-LIGET AND COPE COMP. NIZS. I, - Dividend Amount e Name of Company. per of Paid.
