SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. PROM THE ZVENIMG PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—A week or two ago our readers may have noticed the appearance of a bulky pamphlet, en titled " India and Lord Ellenborough.' It purports to be an examination, under Whig views, of his Lord ship's recent conduct in India. Within the last few days another pamphlet, in " reply," has reached us. The importance of the subject, in reference to ap proaching discussions in Parliament, has induced us to give each a careful perusal. Neither of the writers has,.iin our opinion, made the most of his case ; but their • labours have served to bring some of the leading points within a compass somewhat more easy to grasplhan the enormous mass of official papers in which They were previously buried. The author of the first-named pamphlet, after devoting some twenty four pages to a review of the origin and growth of our political power in India, enters upon a defence of the power of recal vested in the Court of Directors, and recently exercised upon Lord Ellenborough. That the legal right exists, of course cannot be doubted. It is a part of the original power of the Company over its officers. It was distinctly recognised by Mr. Pitt's Act (1784), creating the Board of Coiitrol, and has been confirmed by every subsequent Act affecting the powers of the Company, down to the present time. It is justified by the large pecuniary interests of the Company in our Indian empire, and is properly vested in the Court of Direc tors, as the responsible guardians of those interests. That its retention by them through every modifica tion of their powers and functions made during the last sixty years, is due only to an " oversight," or to the absence of any " discussion" or " consideration" of the matter by the Legislature (as repeatedly asserted in Parliament during the last session), is manifestly absurd. In the Act of 1793, and again in that of 1813, the " Governor-General " is particularly specified as one of the " officers •or servants" of the Coinpauy, over whom the Directors are to exercise the powers of appointment and recal "at their will and pleasure." The Act of 1883 is more general in its terms, but still c ompletely inclusive of the right accorded by the previous Acts. In truth, however, the right does not depend upon these statutory recognitions of its existence. It bas its foundation in the original constitution of the Com pany, and nothing but an express enactment can take it away. The power it affords to the Directors of checking the career of a nominee of the Ministry, whose incompetency or dishonesty may place their interests in jeopardy, is one which, in some shape or other, cannot fairly be denied to them while their interests remain what they are. Whether this particular mode of applying the check be the best that could be devised, is matter for discussion. That it ought to exist, and that its applicatiOn in this instance was just and necessary, and has been most beneficial in its results, is not to be doubted. A glance at the particular circumstances attending his Lordship's nomination and recal most completely confirms the inferences drawn from the more general view of the question. It is believed that in his appointment the Directors were nearly unanimous—it is generally known that, as to his removal, they were quite so. Why this complete revolution of opinion ? Only about two years , had elapsed between the events, and the change took. place where groundless or capri cious changes were little likely to occur. "If any one quality were to be selected as peculiarly charac teristie of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, it would be caution. Every member of the Court has a pecuniary stake in India, and the Court, collectively, are the representatives of the great body of claimants upon its territory. Among the Directors •are men personally acquainted with India, and with the sources from which danger in that country is likely to arise ; men trained by long , experience in civil, political, legal, mili tary, and maritime affairs; merchants of great eminence, and bankers of the highest standing; most of them are of mature age, and the political opinions of the majority are ose of the party with which Lord Ellenborough has generally acted." For sixty years they have held, substantially, their present relative position in the government of India, and with it, this right to recal the Governor- General. Disuse tends to weaken as much as use strengthens a mere legal right. They deliberated long, and heard all that could be urged by the Government against the step, yet took it unani mously,- and gave to Lord Ellenborough the first place ' on the list of recalled Governors-General. The • " eminence" is net an enviable one, but his Lordship has fairly won, and long may he wear it. The author of the " Reply" (whose work bears upon almost every page that " damning proof" of conscious weakness—a resort to abuse in lieu of argument) — admits• the existence of the power of recal, but strenu ously.denies that it ought to exist. He declares that responsibility for the acts of the Governor-General rests entirely with the Ministry, and that an East India l)ireetor, in giving his vote, his responsible only " to his own breeches pocket." We cannot pretend to guess what the proprietors of East India stock may think of this line of argument; we cannot better declare our opinion of it than by culling a single flower from the extensive rhetorical parterre of its author :—it ie " the most contemptible specimen of controversial imbecility we ever.remember to have met with." But there is no ground for apprehension. A broad principle of justice is involve I, and a British Parliament will not he blind to it. With this source of confidence we may look even upon the wounded vanity of the Earl of Ellenborough with indifference. A dissection of the "Papers relating to military operations in Affghanistan " and' the other documents n ow publiihedrespeCting the transactions of 1842-3:.can only lead to conclusions more or less unfavourable to the opinion, that Lord Ellenborough was a fit person to be entrusted with the government of India. Of course these documents furnish, atfer all, but a por tion Of,. the materials upon which alone a complete and comprehensive judgment can be formed. Much of what concerns matter of detail must necessarily be left out of consideration, and a large portion of the re mainder can only be judged of with accuracy by those familiar with the real difficulties and the real resources of a Governor-General acting under such circum stances as those encountered by Lord Ellenborough. Such a familiarity is possessed by few in this coun try, and his Lordship has a fair claim to the benefit of its paucity. But where his judges cannot be sure, they can afford to be lenient. There is su ffi cient exidence to convict without resorting to what is of doubtful proof. What is seen, and of the nature of which no shadow of doubt can be entertained, is quite enough ;',though we should stop short, and hesitate to infer the rest. Our space will not permit of our entering upon this part of the subject at pre sent ;' bit we shall take an early opportunity of re turning to it. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 17.) •SUGAIL—To-day the demand was limited for all de scriptions of B. P. Sugar. Prices are still drooping, and rule above is under that of last Friday for brown and inferior yellow, and 6d for the better kinds. The total purchases for the week are only 1,450 hhds and tierces. The market closes flatly for West India, Bengal, Maui tins, and Madras Sugar. REFINED.—To-day there was not much demand for refined goods for home consumption, and prices are still going down ; brown lumps 71s 6d to 72s and standard lumps 72s 6d per cwt. Of Foreign refined in bond there is very little of any description offering, and none for present delivery, very extensive contracts having been made fur six weeks and two months to come, Crushed has been sold est 31s 3d to 31s 9d, and 101 b Loaves at 33s 6d per cwt. LiAuarrus.—lmportors of this description of Sugar are desirous to realise, and having supplied the market largely, has produced a decline on previous rates of Is to Is 6d for middling good and fine yellow, of which the supply principally consists ; on inferior brown and grey sorts, the fall has been 6d per cwt. This afternoon there was little business done in Illauri tius Sugar by private contract, 349 bags at auction were sold at rather lower rates, mid yellow at 54s to 555. good mid 565,g00d 38s to 595, and mid brown 46s per cwt, EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugar duty paid, amounting to 3,764 bags 143 chests, were. submitted to public competition, and nearly the whole found purchasers ; yellow, of which the bulk con sisted, went at a decline of is to Is 6d per cwt, low greyish selling at 47s 6d to 503, mid 505 6d to 51s 6d, mid rather bright 51s 6d to 53s 6d, good middling 56s 6d to 575, damp and washed 41s to 565; on white the decline was 6d, fine selling at 65s to 68s, mid to good 60s to 645, damp and washed 57s to 66s ; 548 bags in bond went cheaper, that is to say, mid bright yellow at 27s 6d to 28s, damp and washed 25s 6d to 27s 6d ; of Madras 133 bags, duty paid, fetched 52s 6d to 53s 6d for damp yellow, and 50s 6d for washed. YoititioN.—Holders of all descriptions have confidence, and refrain from offering any at public sale ; at present none is announced. For yellow Ilavannah fully former rates are insisted upon, but there has been only a small amount of business done by private contract this week, offers for large parcels rather under previous prices have been made, but rejected by merchants. In white little business has been transacted, but prices do not gi ve way. For brown Brazil fully late rates are offered, but the supply is still scanty, and not ample for the de mand. The market is firm for white, and the demand is on the increase. FRUIT.—Fer Currants the holders are demanding higher prices ; new Zante has been sold at 4ils, Patras 49s to 50s, and some of the importers have withdrawn their parcels from the market. Valentia Raisins are steady, of Red Smyrna and Chesme there is a good supply, the demand only limited at present. COMEE.—Altbough the stock of West India Coffee i s h e avy, exceeding that of last year by 98 casks 1,619 brls and bags, still merchants have manifested firmness, and the market has been sparingly supplied ; previous rates are maintained for all clean kinds, but buyers have been cautious in their proceedings by private contract, and only 19 casks 7 brls were offered at auction, which went at 59s to 60s for fine ord unclean Jamaica, triage 40s, fine fine ord Berbice 58s, good ord 455, and triage 40s, but .a part only was disposed of; unclean sorts may be pur chased at low rates. This afternoon the public sales C 0314, of ,1,398 bags of Ceylon, Bs3 brill 67 half brie T 11 Mocha, and 553 bags Costa Rica; Ceylon was nearly all disposed of. Plantation kinds at full rates, but good ord went again 6d cheaper-Planta tion, fine fine ord sold at 68s to 745, low mid 765, fine fine ord 635, fine ord unclean 58s Gd, good ord 545, pea berry 86s 6d, inferior 78s 6d, good ord pale 50s 6d to Ms 6d ; Mocha all sold, in consequence of a decline in prices of 2s to 3s having been submitted to mid clean yellow long berry sold at 65s to 695, good and fine ord green 59s to 61s 6d, and good ord brown 58s to 595 ; Costa Rica was taken in-low mid at 58s, fine fine ord 54s to 555, fine ord 51s, and inferior 44s per cwt. Cocoas-The dullness in the West India market has increased, and former rates are barely supported ; there has been scarcely any business doing by private con tract, and at public sale 224 packages were all taken in-Trinidad mixed red at 41s, ord rather mouldy 40s. Foreign is still wanted, and prices rule high in consequence of the scanty supply at market. MOLASSEEL-This afternoon there was less demand for West India Molasses, and 152 puns at auction were only partly sold at 19s 6d for ordinary, and at 17s per cwt for very low quality. Tna..-The market is firm, and importers still refrain from offering any at public sale, the deliveries have again exceeded the arrivals, and the stock consequently has further diminished. Congou has been more inquired after during the last few days, and a fair business has been transacted at full prices, common selling at lld to Hid, and good common Hid to is id per lb, the market is sparingly supplied with all descriptions. Pouchong has met with a good sale, but not at higher rates, common fetching 7d to Bd, and the better sorts 9d to is 2d per lb ; the lower sorts are most in request. In Twankay the transactions are upon a more exceeded scale, common at is 2 4 d to is 30 per lb. Hyson is much in request and in consequence of the short supply prices are fully as high, common fetching 2s 7d to 2s Bd, mid 2s 9d to 2s 10d, good 2s lid to 3s, and fine 3s 2d to 4s 6d per lb. There are several buyers of young Hyson, but there is little in the market , Im p erial and Gunpowder are little inquired for, but prices do not give way. Fine scented Orange Pekoe is fetching 3s 4d to 3s 5d per lb, and there is still a scarcity of this kind of Tea. The clearances of Tea for home consumption from this port are going on at the rate of half a million pounds weekly. The trade do not hold a large quan tity of black or green. The quantity of Tea in specula tors' hands is less than for some years at this time. SPICES.-This afternoon black Pepper met with less attention, and 1,000 bags of Malabar at auction sold at a decline on former rates ofd per lb-half heavy selling at 3d to 3id, heavy s id to a id, light 211 to 2id, and sea damaged 2i-cl to 3id. Cassia Lignea was in good demand, and 400 boxes at public sale all sold at full prices for the low and mid kinds, but good went Is to 2s per cwt cheaper-good thin sold at 65s 6d, good mid 60s to 61s 6d, mid 56s 6d to 588 6d, low mid 54s to 54s 6d, ord coarse 5 2 s to 52 s 6d, good ord 535 to 53s 6d, discoloured 518 to 555, broken ends 53s 6d to 54s 6d, mouldy 51s to 533 6d, and broken 48s 6d to 49s per cwt. lituu, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The home and ex port idemand for Jamaica Rum has been limited this week ; only small parcels have been sold, at 3s 6d to 3s 8d for common and mid quality, 28 to 30 per cent over proof. In Leeward: there has been very little busi ness done, and there are sellers of proof at 2s 3d. Calcutta Rued,. 2s to 2s 1 d per gall proof, with certificate. Demerara at 36 Id to 3s 3d for good and &Ise strong qualities. The stock of Brandy is still diminishing, and for the best de scriptions there has been a good demand since our last report.

SALTPETRE.-This afternoon rough was less wanted, and 400 bags of Madras at auction were taken in at 25a to 25s Gd for mid white rather damp 101 por cent refrac tion, being the full worth. CocitiNaat.-An increased desire has been maul. fested to purchase this article, and prices are still going up ; indeed there is not sufficient at market to supply the wants of shiprers or the home trade. At auction *6 bags of Honduras were nearly all disposed of at Id per lb advance, fine bold silvers at 4s 10d to 4s 11d, good 48 8d to 4s 9d, mid 4s 7d, very low foxey to ordinary 4s 5d to 4s Cal; 18 bags of Granilla sold at Is 9d to 28 10d for small ordinary and good bold, and 3 bags of Gerblings at is eal to Is ed per lb. The ships arrived of late have brought a loss quantity of Cochineal than was expected. - Oses.-Importers of Cod Oil are anxious sellers on account of the increasing arrivals, and have submitted to a reduction on previous rates of 103 to 15s; buyers, however, are more inclined to do business upon these terms, and at 29/ lOs to 30/ per tun several parcels have been disposed of.

STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. The condition of the wrought cotton hose branch is much as previously reported. The cut-up branch is also very dull, and the drawer branch is much the same. The silk branch is in a languishing state. The bobbin net trade is dull, but we do not hear of those heavy complaints we did some time since. Great exertions are making on all sides to improve the manufacture as respects patterns, but not as regards the texture of the net, in the levers machines, the other three princi ples of the circular bolt, the tranverse warp, and the pusher, in general making traversed nets. The latter principle, we had hoped, would have been ere this in full activity, but it appears the heavy cost of applying the jacquard, and the delicate construction of the ma chinery, have prevented the owners from extending the manufacture. A new, and, as we hope, important ma nufacture, is produced from the traverse warp ma chine, at Beeston, f6r which Messrs. Nichols, of Gold smith-street, Lendon, have a patent. The article in general use, is made from the weaver's loom, and is termed braiding, of NY hich there are about 500 weavers employed in England, and about a third of that number in France. The French have the monopoly of a similar manufacture at Tarrare, near Lyons, with this exception, that the French fabric is made all plain, the English invented article is part plain and part open work. That made on the traverse warp machine is part lace and part plain or linen work. The singularity of this production is, that the linen work, though made at the same time with the net, is made as long again (or even more), and is gathered on the edge into plaits or puckers, so as to form a puff. The contrast between the net and the linen is darker and more striking than we have yet seen produced, even by the needle, and has a truly elegant and unique appearance. At present it is made in stripes, the net being slightly ornamented, either with bullet holes or the insertion of threads, in the same manner as traverse warp nets are in general ornamented. Teese puffs can, when required, be in stantly stopped and succeeded by net, and there is rea son to think that puffed or embossed patterns may be made by the application of the jacquard. From what we can learn, the pusher machiaes are adapted to make this article, which it is hoped will be patronised by the English nobility and gentry in their spring fashions, and thus give a new impetus to native industry. The article is perfectly sound and good, and bids defiance to the ordeal of the wash-tub.---The warp-lace trade is slowly improving, but is not much increasing in the extent of machinery. Every branch and department seems upon the increase, but the tatting branch appears the most stable and flourishing.—Nottirigharn Review. COAL DIARICET.

It was directed to Smith and Co., and after remaining in his possession about half an hour it was sent to the railway station by George Mason, the porter. Cross-examined—He was positive about it, as it was the only parcel on that day fur London, and he entered it on the book produced, for which Is. 3d. was paid, but he could not say by whom it was brought, and he gave a receipt as for a banker's parcel. George Mason having proved the delivery of the parcel, George Wade, a porter employed at the Midland Rail way station, in Leicester, said he recollected receiving the parcel from the last witness shortly after nine o'clock in the evening, which he put in the usual place for par cels in the office, where it remained till the mail train arrived, and then it was sent to London, having put it in the bag himself. When he put the parcel in the office he locked the door and put the key in another office, and after returning from supper he found it in the same state he had left it, and then he forwarded it. Mr. JARDINE observed it was very serious to find such important companies, for the purpose of saving expense, retuse to come forward and assist the officers, which would be the means of dispensing with the attendance of several persons, which would not have been the case had legal advice been taken, the object being to prevent a recurrence of such robberies. Inspector Haynes said the inconvenience was incalcu lable, for as the house of Pares and Co., had been indem nified, several tradespeople who could not afford it exe cuted orders to considerable amounts upon the receipt of half-notes, being as a matter of course ignorant of any understanding that might exist between the company and the Bank of England. The witness Wade being recalled, said the keys of the parcel van were kept at the termini, and there was no possibility of opening during the transfer by the guard, who merely carried the way bill. Mr. JARDINE said it would be well if more distinct evidence as to the practices were given, in order to show that no person could by any possibility get even at the lock. _ _ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Two men, named Reilly and Chowns, were charged before the Lord Mayor with having conspired together to defraud the mate of a vessel which had just arrived from a long voyage. The case, which excited the greatest interestwas occasionally interrupted by bursts of laughter. Mr. E. Morris, the proprietor of the East India Arms Tavern, in Fenchurch-street, stated that while he was in the cellar some person had gone up stairs, accompanied by a sailor, and, another man having speedily followed, there was reason to apprehend that all was not right. Something was ordered to drink by the two first visitors, and the witness soon after u wards heard the clinking of a lock, and one of those in the room offered to lay a wager of 201. or 251., upon which an officer was sent for, and the sailor, who was a jolly, open-hearted fellow, and the two prison ers, were suddenly stopped as they were rising to depart, and informed that they must stay a little for the sake of justice. It was in fact seen that the two prisoners had laid a plan for robbing the sailor, and as u an attempt of a similar kind had been made about two years before in the same house, the witness was de termined to make an example of the men at the bar if possible. The following particulars were collected from the impetuous and disjointed statement of the mate :—As the mate was going along Fenchurch-street, he asked a man, who happened to be the prisoner Reilly, the way to the station in the Minories. Reilly said he was going that way himself, and he would show the way, but proposed that they should have a drop of beer together; and together they went into the East India Arms, in one of the private rooms of which they had no sooner sat down, than in walked the other gentleman, Mr. Chowns, who seemed to be quite a stranger, began to drink by himself, and pro duced a lock, which he said nobody could open. The mate, who never, he declared, had seen so foolish a lock in his life, opened it with ease ; and another lock, equally simple and foolish in appearance having been exhibited by Mr. Chowns, he offered to open that with as little difficulty, and then the challenge to bet, which had been heard by the policeman, was made. The mate happened to have securities for the money about him, but no money, otherwise the wager would ) have been very probably, as he said himself laid, and the trick would have succeeded. Here several flash notes and counterfeit sovereigns, which were found in the posession of the prisoners, .% were produced, as were some marked cards. They were both known to the police as common cheats, and one of them had been tried at the Central Criminal i t Court. It was not until the prisoners and the mate were E • ;34 introduced to the Lord Mayor, that the latter had any idea into what sort of company he had unluckily ,/% got, and if it had not been for the keenness of the landlord of the tavern, he would no doubt have had to lament the incident which introduced him to their acquaintance, although at that time ,he had no cash in his possession. 5 % The LORD MAYOR—Why, my good fellow, it was r a very fortunate thing for you that ,you escaped so 3% well out of the clutches of these men. The mate—l see they are a pair of d—d scoundrels, ) but I could have opened twenty such locks, and rd lay any money of it. You never saw anything so 3s. foolish. Why, one of these gentlemen offered to lay me 401. 3 % The LORD MAYOR—And if you had had the money *2 you would have betted ? The mate—Yes, I dare ) say I should; and I'd have won, too.—(A laugh.) is The policeman here produced the lock which the sit mate had opened, and another lock resembling it , 5 ) % which was made so as not to be capable of being opened at all. The sleight-of-hand substitution of one of these locks for the other, was one of the - modes of obtaining plunder ; and in aid of that plan the counterfeit money and bank-notes were kept in pocket-books by the prisoners, who were both smartly dressed, Chowns being attired like a respectable coun ) tryman. The mate—Why, that gentleman that looks like a ) farmer told us, when he joined us, that he was the gamekeeper to the Earl of Pembroke, and he said he )% had come to town to look for two of his master's hounds, that were locked together with the same sort of lock, and that wherever the dogs were they must be together, as nobody else could open the lock. The LORD MAYOR—Did he say the Earl of Perri % broke's dogs had been stolen ? The mate—He did ;30 so ; and I advised him to go to the police about the dogs ; and I did think him a great fool, but I find ' that I was the fool, after all.—(Laughter.) Mr. Woolf, for one of the prisoners—But you lost ' nothing by the transaction ? The mate—Nothing at all. I gained by it, for I had some beer and I never paid for it.—(Laughter.) What an unlucky fellow I am. Here I come home after being shipwrecked 5% and being away three years, and the instant I co me ashore I get into the hands of a pair of rascals, and 5 then lam taken up by the police and brought here to 7 3 % complain against them, and I want to have nothing at all to do with them, but to call and see my relations and be off to sea again. Was there ever so unfortu- I nate a man as lam ? The LORD MAYOR said it would be lamentable if such fellows escaped justice any longer. Mr. Hobler, who appeared for the second prisoner, submitted that there was no case against his client for the Central Criminal Court. !••• The LORD MAYOR remanded the prisoners, and 1 % stated that he would not take less bail for each of them than two good securities fin. 100/. each, and their own recognisances in 20til. each. ) Adolphus Valentine Wyatt, eating-house keeper, of 5 Silver-street, was committed to Newgate for trial 1 upon the charge of having committed a felonious as sault upon Mary Ann Lee, his servant. a BOW-STREET. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Ye3terday Richard Elliot, described as a tobacconist, and Richard Vincent, an om nibus driver, were brought up fur final examination, 7% 4% charged with being concerned in breaking into the 57's dwelling-house of Mr. Cox, a clerical robe-maker, 29, 2 Southampton-street, Strand, on the night of the 24th 7 of December, and stealing several pieces of silk, and 9 other articles, amounting to nearly 2001. r 5 It may be necessary to state, that information being 5% given of the circumstance, the officers of the dete ctive ,t 4. force discovered that the prisoners had disposed of a !41 4 piece of silk, consisting of seventeen yards, for 11. ss. 64., to Mrs. Dismore, the landlady of the King's Arms public k house, in the Coal-yard, Drury-lane, who was unable to ,I;4i, identify the prisoners, but they being sub-equently als oprehended in Paddington, the remainder of the property i f% was discovered in the house of Elliot, together wit h a o considerable quantity of other valuable property. 8 o% Inspector Shackle said, as a wrong impress ion was ox, made on the Court at the last examination, respecting 7 the public-house where the silk had been sold , he had 7 44 received a letter from the landlord, offering to produc e 2 4g persons, who were in his house when the property was 9 disposed of, to speak to the identity of the prisoners. 0 414 Inspector Shackle said, he was bound to add that Mr. Dismore gave every assistance in tracing out the parties 11 1 by whom the property ha d been sold, and he thou g ht he , wa m s e r n . tjiAtlßedrats%succohnsiadesrteadterhee matter statement. required only to t. ..t be corrected, and, as the officers were satisfied with the si assistance they had received, it was sufficient to remove ; any wrong impressions that might have been made at the last examination. James Bachelor, a coach-lace manufacturer, proved 3 % that on Saturday, the 28th of December, about four 3 o'clock in the afternoon, being at the bar of the King's 4 Arms for the purpose of getting change to pay his men, 4ihe saw two men enter, one of whom wa s Elliot, with a 8 parcel under his arm, and on asking the landlady if the would purchase a piece of silk, seventeen yards, she re plied she did not require so much to make a dress. He then said he had taken it for a bad debt, allowing 3s per 0 yard for it, but he would take ls. 6d. a yard for it, upon 6 which she gave 1/. ss. 6d., and, placed the parcel under g% the counter. 3V) Mr. Robinson applied for bail to be taken for Vincent, as he had heretofore held an irreproachable character, 1 and the officer could bring no other charge. iss Mr. JARDINE agreed to accept of bail, himself in the 3 sum of 1001. and sureties in 50/. each, to answer the r charge at the Central Criminal Court, and the wit nesses being bound over, the prisoners were committed for trial. ROBBERY OF THE LEICESTER BANE.—The prisoner, Elliot, was then charged with stealing the sum of 1,071/. 16s. 101, the property of Messrs. Pares and Co., i c the Leicestershire Joint-Stock Banking Company. Mr. Henry Thomas Hill, a clerk in the service of the prosecutors, stated that on Wednesday, the 13th of Sep % tember, 1843, he made up a parcel c ontaining the sinister Si of Bank of England, country notes and cheques, amount ing to 1,0711. 16s. 10d., which consisted of one hundred and "forty-six 5/. notes, and nine 101. g notes, with nine cheques, directing it to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith, of Lombard-street, London. Having e made up the parcel he sealed it, and took it to the book ing-office at the George Hotel, Leicester, where he deli vered it into the hands of Mr. Henry Hacket, who was then a clerk, for the purpose of having it forwarded to London. The dexter halves of the notes he made up in a letter, which be directed the same evennig in the same manner, and put iato the post-office. He did not take the number of the notes, as it was not then the custom, nor had he seen them since. Witness identified the sinister half-note produced of the Bank of England for 5/., dated the 2d of Nov., 1842, No. T. 0. 26,785, which passed through the Bank 9th of Sept., 1843 or 1844, but he could not tell which without referring to the books; also the sinister half of another for SL, dated 2d Nov., 1841, No. S. P. 26,364, as having passed through the bank on the 11th of Sept, but he could not tell the year ; and a third for 5/., dated 16th of Feb., 1842, No. S. A. 83,413, passing the bank on the 13th of September. In cross-examination, witness could not say the notes were part of the parcel that bad been made up and posted in the manner described. Inspector Haynes informed the Court that as Pares and Co. had indemnified the Bank of England for the loss, they declined to interfere in the prosecution. The same objection had been made by the Midland, and the London and Birmingham Compamea, on the ground that the parcel had not been lost rty their servants ; and as to Smith and Co., they considered the expense too great, which obliged him to get the evidence in the best way he could.

He called it over and handed it to another p,rter. In answer to the Court, witness said the keys of the Leicester van he kept, and it was the universal practice there should be no other key kept but at the other ter minus in London. Mr. Thomas Greenhough, clerk to Smith and Com pany, identified the parcel produced as having arrived on the 14th of September, 1843, strapped in light coloured paper, on which he put a number. On opening it he found it contained several pieces of waste paper, and the outside cover of an old book produced, but no bank-notes. Mr. James Ball, another clerk, said that on the 14th of September, he received a letter, directed to his em ployers, containing the halves of several country notes, amounting to 8201., and also several cheques, amounting to 251/. 16s. 10d. Witness here described the dexter halves and their numbers, as spoken to by the first witness. Inspector Shackle stated that on Monday, the 30th of December last, he apprehended the prisoner upon an other charge, and on searching him he found six halves of the Bank of England notes produced, three for 101., three for 51., being joined together to form three notes, bnt having different dates and numbers, being the notes missing from the parcel. John Draper, jun., of the Globe Tavern, in Hatton garden identified the prisoner as the person who came , about the month of October last, to the house to request some parcel containing guns would be directed to John Moore, from Mr. Bradley, of Birmingham, which he ex pected, and the housekeeper gave him permission in his presence. He never saw the prisoner before, and in a few days after the parcel, as described, which was a long deal box, arrived. It was heavy, and paid for, and the next day the prisoner, having asked if it had come, was answered in the affirmative, and he took it away on his shoulder. In a few days after he called again, and asked if a letter addressed to Mr. John Moore had arrived from Mr. Bradley, as he (prisoner) lived in Bleeding heart-yard, and his wife forgot to ask for it when she called for the beer. Mr. Draper, sen., said he saw the prisoner only once, when he took away the parcel ; but on receiving a se ' cond letter he kept it, as he understood there was some fraudulent transaction, till he delivered it to the officers. Mr. JARDINE said the officers should do the best they could to get up further evidence, and ordered the pri soner to be remanded for a week. WI/beach ••«••••••••••.•• Wey and Arun....... Docks.

Dobson, Esq., the secretary:— " Taganrog, December 11, 1844. " Since my report of the loss of the British schooner Elizabeth, and the dangerous position of four other British ships, the masters and crews of the latter have been obliged to abandon their vessels, and are now here, like the men of the Elizabeth, all destitute; for, although the said ships have not yet gone to pieces, their po sition is such that no hope remains of their being saved ; and I fear that by reason of the dis tance from the land, and the dangerous state of the ice, very little of the cargoes, or even of their stores, can be got out of them. Thus, as you already know, the crew of the Elizabeth, which is utterly lost, consisting of seven persons, have saved nothing. The Ann Metcalfe is lying on her beam ends, and is full of water, and the crew, of twelve persons, has also saved nothing. The Countess of Dunmore is lying on her side, and must upset with the first shift of wind. This vessel, notwithstanding an early application from myself to the acting Governor, both verbally and in writing, for the protection of the property, has, it is this day discovered, been plundered by the fishermen of all her stores, &c., the crew, consisting of twelve persons, having previously reached the shore with extreme diffi culty, and without being able to bring away anything. The crews of the Hants and British Queen, which ships, having their sides cut through, are mere wrecks, were More fortunate, having brought on their shoulders some effects, but most of their clothes were lost during their passage to the shore, their lives having been in great peril while passing over the moving ice. These two crows consist of twenty persons." (Sig,ned by the British'Vice-Consul.) CLEARANCE OF SURPLUS STORES IN THE -----------. PORTS OF BRAZIL. A decree of the Brazilian Government, received at the Board of Trade, has been forwarded to Lloyd's.
