'AAjiliaßS AN D THE geRRENOT LAWS. ,-' (From the York Herald.) ,BY adopting the above head, we would not on any ccount be thought to imply anything more than tied whilst the currency laws are of infinite importance to the whole nation, they are peculiarly so to that great portion of the community whose energies are de voted to agriculture, and who, from the change of times and circumstances, are labouring without profit, and are anxiously looking forward almost without hope. To the wrongs and sufferings of that class of our fellow -countrymen, the close attention of the Ministers of the ,Crown, and of every Member of the Legislature, is immediately due ; and it is with a hope that we may assist to rouse the farmers to peti tion, and the representative s of the people to deep con sideration and manly activity on the approaching meeting of Parliament, that we are induced again to dwell upon the subject, and to press this great and l important national question. It was our intention to have accompanied with a" comment, the report which we, lest weds,' i i-he of the excellent address of the Rev. 'Jelin T‘k ells, the respected vicar of Eaton, to the York Farmers' club, and others intersted in agriculture, hut our limits did not allow us. Mr. Twells resides in an agricultural eistrict ; and having long witnessed the severe pri • vations, and uhdeserred sufferings of the farmers, he t as, with a noble and generous feeling, given to thc currency laws the most anxious attention—the result of which is, a full and unchangeable conviction, as a man, an Englishman, and a clergyman, that, act the farmer alone, but the moral, social, and religious con dition of the great mass of the people, is involvEd in the question. To some, however, it may appear an intricate question ; and many may yet say, as others have said—" How can the currency so seriously affect the agriculture, trade, and commerce of the country ? Or, if an increase of the circulating int - dim does really cause an advance in the ma:ket., how can that advance benefit the community ?" We will reply to those very natural questions, and endeavour to simplify the case as much as possible. In earlier times, all payments were made by tl a farmers in kind ; but, in the progress of nations, money has become the representative of other property, and the only legal tender in the payment of debts. It ii the duty of the Government to provide sufficient money for the purposes of trade, and to take care that the supply shall be equal to the demand of an increas ing population. The present laws, which unwisely restrict the paper issue of the Bank of England, and render gold the only legal tender, subject the money market to many and serious fluctuations, both from the occasional scarcity of gold, and from the uncer tainty of the Bank recalling -its seeernmodutione to the public. Now the way in which it operates upon the farmer is this :—When the amount of thej circu lating medium is reduced below the requirements of the public, the d ecrease i n t h e supply increaies the re lative value of the money, and consequently more goods are demanded for that money than before, which is a reduction in the price of each article. The farmer's rent, tithes, taxes, &c., are fixed, and he must pay them in full. Consequently the fluctua tions of the currency, which reduce the prices of his produce, prevent him from having fair play, and he becomes a ruined, though an industrious and honest man. He is the victim of a twofold operation of the currency laws—the money paid to the landlord, for rent, is of increased value, when the tenant farmer's corn is reduced in price. To remedy this great evil, it is proposed to abolish the fixed price of gold, which our Government has engaged to supply our foreign connexions with, at 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce—the untaxed continental price. This is injurious to our manufacturers, because the foreign merchant is thereby induced to demand gold for his goods ; and it is one great cause of the re striction of the currency, which can only be coun teracted by letting the price of gold fluctuate, ac cording to the supply and demand in the English market. A system of national paper money would then follow, secured upon the whole property of the empire, and declared legal tender, but not to exceed the annual amount of taxation. It is also proposed to empower joint-stock banks to issue notes, on giving proper security. This sort of money would never be drawn away by foreigners, it would never be boarded up by misers and hence, there would be a steady and never-failing supply. The result of such an increase of the circu lating medium, would be a decrease in its value, and e consequent increase of prices in the markets. The fixed rent of the landlord—the fixed amount of taxes, &c.—would thus be fairly met. The tenant farmer would be able to sell his corn at remunerating prices, and to pay his rent regularly, and provide for his family respectably. In short, the benefit would be general. Agriculture, trade, manufactures, and foreign commerce, would all alike participate in the national change. And the most powerful recom mendation of this plan is, that .it would benefit all, without injuring any. We have details before us of instanees without number, in which the restriction of the currency has produced national calamity, and in which an exteia ion of the currency, by a plentiful paper issue, has revived the trade, and improved the general interests of the whole nation. Many of those we have given, in former papers ; and others are ready, should any one doubt the correctness of.our calculations. Our present obrervations, however, must now be drawn to a conclusion ; but not before we have again urged our agricultural friends to unite in petitioning Par. liament for the total repeal of the present currency laws, and for the adoption of a more extended and enlightened system of legislation, on the monetary errangemenis of the country. The subject is also well worthy of the close consideration of every Mem ber of the British Parliament, ere they again as* semble. The advocate of free trade will find it serve his purpose fully ; and the sincere and earnest Protec tionist will do well for the farmer, if he will join in the demand for an extended currency, as a first step tower& the restoration to comfort and prosperity of the agricultural portion of our increasing population. ----- COURT CIRCULAR.

The leading principles of this Office fin; - Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of ristz—A /tonal division of Profits. _ . _ The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged rre more the result of guess than calculation. _ _ _ _ It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. . _ It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. the true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analy sis of its own experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without tho Average Clause.

Yesterday the delegates selected by the various parishes in London, in which meetings have been held for the purpose of promoting the repeal of the window-tax, assembled at the Marylebone Court-house, previous to waiting, according to appointment, as a deputation, on th e Ch ance ll or o f t h e Ex chequer. Mr. J. A. Nicholay, the chairman of the committee, presided. Mr. J. \Vitamins, M P., said he hoped that in their in terview with the Chancellor they would not digress into other matter, and that they would nut propo.,:e any other tax as a substitute, but would insist on an unconditional repeal.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WYI.DE. M.P., said he understood it was to be commu nicated to the Chancellor that if this tax were not repealed they would stop the supplies.---(Hear, hear.) Some preliminaries were then arranged, after which the members of the deputation got into cabs and ether vehicles, w hi c h were waiting to convey them to their destination. There were altogether fitly or sixty vehicles, and on the outside of many of them large placards had been affixed, bearing the inscription—" Unconditional Repeal of the Window Tax." The processian, which reached from Regent. circus to Marylebone-lane, then slowly wended its way down Oxford-street, Regent-street, and Whitehall, to Downing street, where the deputation was reinforced by the addition of another body of delegates front Lambeth. The Chancellor of the Exchequer being engaged with another deputation on another subject, the delegates were shown into the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, where Sir Charles Wood joined them shortly after their arrival. Alto gether the deputation consisted of more than two hundred persons, who inconveniently &Oise/ea the very large room into which they were shown, and as they coula not all obtain a view of the speakers, some of them stood upon chairs. Besides the delegates there were also present Lord Duncan, ALP ; Sir 13. Hall, M.P. ; M r. J . S . Duncombe M.P.; Mr. Wakley, M. P. •' Mr. WYld, M.P.; Sir Willi a m kolesworth, M.P. ; Mr. W. Williams, M.l'.; and Mr. J. Williams, M.P. Lord DuNcax, addressing the -Ctiincellor of the Exche quer, said belled lien requested •to, introduce- one of the - most nuaterotia, and he believed one of the most respectable deputations that had ever waited upon any Chancellor of the Exchequer; and the reason why he had been selected to in troduce them was that it had generally fallen to his lot to bring forward in the House of Commons the motion for the repeal of the window-tax. ' He believed that the gentlemen in that room had, many of them, been elected as delegates, and that they represented a wide-spread feeling against the window-tax. He believed that that feeling was not con fined to the metropolis alone : he believed that it pervaded other districts. He would not take up the time of the Right Hon. Baronet by now entering at length into the argu ments for the repeal of this tax. He had often brought for ward this subject in the House of Commons, and he had given notice of bringing it forward again on the 15th instant. He should therefore not go into the arguments now; he did not consider it necessary. It had given him and others the greatest satisfaction to see that Government had reduced tax ation, and to the liberal policy they were pursuing he believed the excellent state of the finances was in a great measure to be attributed. It had given them the greatest pleasure to find that the abolition of the duty on bricks and the reduction of the duty on stamps last session, had not that effect in diminishing the revenue which might have been expected ; and they did not think that the Government could apply the surplus better than in repaling the window-tax, which would relieve almost all classes of the community. He did not know whether the Right Hon. Baronet had directed his attention to the Crystal Palace, but he was quite certain that if it were assessed to the window-tax, the amount charged in respect of it would be enormous.-- (Laughter.) He saw a. proposition in the newspapers that very day to cover the Royal Exchange with glass. They might rely upon it if that was put in operation while the window-tax existed, it would be found to be rather more expensive than had been calculated upon. He was really much encouraged by the manner in which the Right Hon• Baronet met his motion last year for the repeal of this tax. He believed it was the unanimous opinion of them all, that no sanitary measure could pos sibly have any effect till this odious tax was taken oil.— (Hear, hear.) It would give them the greatest satisfaction ei t i a o x r , of an th d e to find that the Government, of which he was an o ld sup tEttaxtch- th e e i quer who should have the honour of relieving the country o f o e n rm et in sh ed ou t l o d be taket heoirChtahnics a tax which was laid on in barbarous times, and whi c h ought no longer to be continued. The Noble Lord con c l u d e d ob4lacing in the hands of the Right Hon. Baron e t a li s t ptoigrthetr,Hhoand. Baronet of the speakers who it had been agreed upon were to address hint Mr. GREEN said he had the honour to be deputed by a arge and influential parish, namely, the parish of St. Mary, [slington, which paid a large sum of money to the window ax. They did not complain of it, however, only as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, but because it was the parent of disease and engendered crime. Mr. Green then quoted passages from the report of the Board of Health to the effect that no sanitary measure can be tolerably complete while the window-tax is in existence; and that a tax on light and air is more vicious in principle than a tax on food. Hitherto, Mr. Green proceeded to say, the complaints of the people against this tax had been met by Government saying they had no surplus. He was deputed now to tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he had a surplus of more than th ee millions, 'and his constituents expected an unconditional re peal of the window-tax. They claimed it because there had been no faith kept with the people. It was a war tax, and was to have been taken oil' in the time of peace. But not only had it not been taken off. but the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, being made of squeezeable materials, had increased it 10 per cent.— (Cries of " Shame" and " Order.") Lord Althorp took off the house tax, and promised that if addi tional windows were opened in houses, there 'hould be no ad ditional tax in consequence. Many windows were thrown open, and then Sir Francis Baring had a re-assessment made, and parties were made liable for the additional windows. The principle of the tax had been condemned by all parties.— (Cries of " Time.") Well, they were there to call upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to do his duty, having the means in his power to do it, and therefore he should conclude by saying that it was the determination of those who sent him there not to cease agitating till they got a total and un conditional repeal of the window -tax.—(Hear, and Bravo.) Mr. W. WILLIAMS—If you will promise to repeal this tax, you will save yourself the hearing of 200 speeches. Mr. J. WiLuAms—Shall we make that a condition and say no more about it?—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Time CHANCELLOR of the Exceizettca—You knew per fectly well that if I Intended to do so I could not say it. I hope the gentlemen will be as brief as they can, as I ought to be in the Cabinet at this moment, and there is really no thing to be said upon it that has not been already said by Lord Duncan in the House of Commons. Mr. GLEKSON, who was deputed from St. James's, dwelt on the inequality of the tax, saying that houses inhabited by the poor paid window-tax to the amount of 26 per cent. on the rental, while the houses of the nobility paid only 1% per cent. The windows of many houses inhabited by the poor were blocked rip, and in St. James's, which was an aristo cratic parish, they were actually in fear of fever from this cause. Much sickness was caused by it among the poor, and the families were in consequence thrown on the parish, bemuses in the count ry, and only 480,000 pay which was thereby put to much additi ona l expense. T here , rnd the exemptions were i n t h e country, where they breathed tahre3 isxasoe: the pure air. Then it should be remembered that the removal of the tax would cause much employment to be given in the making of additional windows. Mr. NICHOLAY, the chairman of the delegates, remarked arrived wh en t h ey ought, in fairness that Government had stated times ou t o f num b er t h at the tax was principle, and th e p eo pl e cons id ere d had a th n a d t j t n h s e tic tini e md t e o efe b n e v sblrienliee in now w ed of it. This movement, which origi nated in elarylebone, !mai spread like wild-fire through the metropolis. He bad attended large and influential meetings upon it, and if the Right Honourable Baronet had been pre sent he would have been, not only perfectly astonished, but astounded. In fact, the only difficulty they had had was in having it all their own way.—(A laugh.) Mr. FRASER, churchwarden of St. Pancras, urged the im an t s e a sanitary point that of View, present a e, of abolishing the ta x . 11 0 s h o wn themselves desirous of improving Government had the sanitary condi tion of the people, but as long as th e w i ndow-tax remained unrepealed, he should doubt their si ncer i ty. A: an instance p e rt wa c s e g , l i a n d a of the oppressive and injurious operation of the tax, he stated that not far from his own residence a Society for Improving the Dwellings of the Poor had a building which contained 108 rooms, which were let in suites to different parties at rents varying froth 3s. 6d. to Gs. 6d,, and the window-tax amounted to lid. per week per suite of rooms, so that out of a rent of 3s. 6d., sevenpence-farthinghad to go for window tax.—(Hear, hear.) lie knew houses, the rent of which was 1001. a year, in which, in order to keep down the num ber of windows, the water-closet, which ought to be the best ventilated room in the house, had no window, but had a bor rowed light. Mr. WHITMORE, also a medical pract i t i oner, followed, corroborating Mr. Fraser's statements as to the injurious effect on health of shutting omit the light. It was well ynown that an imperfect organization of ani ma l lif e was th e Consequence of the want of solar light Shortly after time completion of the fortifications at Lisle, a number of poor people took up their abodes in them. There was scarcely any light, •and the result was there were so many children families who ' of stunted growth in the lived there, that the authorities were compelled to cause them to leave their dwellings. Mr. FREETII, one of the Marylebone delegates, spoke of the great unpopularity of the tax in Marylebene, which he was enabled to do from personal knowledge, being the re ceiver of the ground.rents of an estate, which comprised an eighth part of the parish, and being himself a consider able owner of house property. At a meeting a t w hi c h h e was present a resolution wits carried that if the tax were not repealed their Members be instructed to stop the sup plies.—( Loud cheers.) That resolution was coupled with another, that the committee o f Mar y l ebone should sit, as the French say, en permanence till the tax was repealed. He assured the Chancellor of the Exch equer that if he imagined that, after this interview with him they sho u ld return to their homes and let the matter rest, he was much mistaken. Mr. JAMES NELSON (from St. James ' s) said they had come there to state that they would no longer submit to this tax. It was an unjust tax, seeing that of the 1,800,0001. which was raised by it only 300,000 1 . was Paid by the aris tocracy, and that out of 3i millions of houses only 480 , 000 were taxed. And it was a wicked tax, because it shut out light and air. They had come there also to state that they would not submit to a commutation of this tax. They would have it scratched out of the statute-book. Talk to them of a commutation, while the slave squadron was con tinued ! Talk to them of a commutation ! He did not be lieve it. The Sanitary Association waited upon the Chan cellor of the Exchequer last year with an absurd proposi tion, to commute this tax into a house-tax, and_ what was his reply ? "Go away : I believe you cannot deal with it in that way. I have had numbers of propositions, but the most impracticable of all is a house-tax. He (Mr. Nelson) did not believe that Government would attempt to commute this odious tax into a house-tax. They called upon Go vernment to remove this tax, because, among other reasons, they believed that by so doing they would loose n th © springs of industry and give great employment to building operatives; and because, distinguished as the metropolis was for its wealth and extent, it would in a few years be distin guished for its architectural beauty also, if they removed this tax. Mr. GEORGE, churchwarden of St. Ann's, said he repre sented a large parish in Westminster, in which this tax bore on them with great inequality. There were twenty-one houses in St. Anu's.court, each rated in that parish at 221. a year, and fourteen houses in Soho-square, each rated at 1171., and both these properties paid the same amount of window tax. There were three houses in St. Ann's-court which were rated at 661., which paid 18/. Is. 2d. for window-tax, and two other houses in the parish which were rated at 3461.. which paid for window -tax 141. 2s. 10d. He was a member of the Strand Union Board of Guardians, and he could state that three out of every five of the applicants ler relief were driven to make the application in consequence of ill health, and there was nothing which caused, bad health more than want of light and air. He should be the last man in the world to resort to threats, but he was hound to tell the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the parish he represented would not pay this tax any longer. They, should take no active step , , hut they should offer a passive resistance to it; and other metropolitan parishes, he believed, were prepared to do the same. Mr. Itoclies, of St. Giles's, urged the cruelty of this tax on the poor, instancing one 'house in F:etcher's-court, in which, to save the tax, windows were closed, and live out of a:3c of one family living in the house died of cholera. The tax was wicked, because it interfered with the right of every one to enjoy freely the blessings of light and air. Mr. Ro gers then spoke of the inequality of the tax, and expressed his conviction that nothing short of its unconditional repeal would satisfy the people. After a few words from Mr. TAYLOR. who represented St. Andrew's, Holborn, there, were loud cries for Mr. Dun combe. Mr. T. Dos/combs, M.P., stepped forward and said he was not aware that it was necessary he should say anything on this occasion; but he was glad that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had had an opportunity of hearing the senti ments of their constituent& As to stopping the supplies, he held out no threat. It was not possible for three or four Members out of more than 600 to do so, and he did not think it advisable to hold out such threats. If he received any instructions from his constituents to do so, he skould act on his own judgment, and he was sure his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer would consider that he was best consulting the promotion of this cause by so doing. He knew that his Right Hon. Friend could not say what course he should take, but he hoped he would give them a distant hint that this tax. was defunct. Mr. Wiam.xy, M.P., said he hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would clearly understaed what the feeling was out of doors by the feeling manifested in this room, and he would also see what had'been the condition of those unfortu nate Members who were prevented by indisposition from attending in their places in the House of Commons last session, and voting for the repeal of this tax. He could tell the Right Hon. Baronet this—that if this tlx was not re pealed the metropolitan Members must be repealed.—(A laugh.) His Hon. Colleague unfortunately laboured under indisposition which prevented him from attending the meet ings. He (Mr. Wakley) had had the good fortune to at tend some of them, and had received a good dressing—(A laugh)—and he could assure him that in reference to this tax, it was not admitted at all that a man had a right to be ill. His Hon. Colleague sa'd he had received no instruc tions to stop the supplies. He (Mr. Wakley) had received those instructions unequivecally, and he was bound to state, not in the shape of a threat, but as a conscientious duty, that he should act up to those instructions when the time arrived. He looked upon this tax as of so foul a cha racter, that he considered it a duty, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer was determined to have this tax, to do what he could to prevent him having any other.—(Cheers, and cries for Mr. Wyld and Sir Benjamin Hall ) The CitaxcEraznof the EXCHEQUER here rose, and with some difficulty obtained a hearing, the cries for Mr. Wyld being so loud and so general. When silence was in some degree restored, he said the Cabinet was sitting, and it was requisite that he should attend it. lie had listened, he hoped, with great attention to the gentlemen who repre sented the metropolitan districts, but he thought that it was really occupying time unnecessarily to hear the Mem bers, as they could express their sentiments in the House of Commons. Sir B. HALL, M.P., said until his name was called he had no intention to speak, and he would suggest to the deputation that as they had now said all that could be said on the subject the greatest satisfaction would follow if his Right Hon. Friend would be kind enough to give them some intimation of the course he intended to take. if he could con sistently do so,—(Renewed cries of "Mr. Wyld.") Mr. WYLD, M.P., remarked that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had assumed this to be merely a metropo litan movement ; but it was a movement which had ex tended over the whole of the country, and in the borough which he represented this tax was felt to be most op pressive. There was at this moment an organization going on which, if this tax were not repealed, would cause great inconvenience to Government, and impede its opera tions.—(Cries of " Molesworth.") Sir W. MOLESWORTH was understood to say he would rather not take up time by going into the matter now. His constituents were extremely anxious for the repeal of the tax and if the Chancellor of the Exchequer could repeal it he should vote for its repeal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, of course it was perfectly impossible for him then to state the course he should take, it would be highly inconvenient for him to give the slightest intimation of what he intended to do. It was a subject that had been brought before him in various ways. Mr. Nicholay, the chairman of the commit tee, had been in communication with him, and, of course, his most serious attention had been directed to the suject. It was not for hint to say any more.--(A voice : " Oh," and cries of " Order.") If hi s f r i end there was impatient, he must remember that it was perfectly inconsistent with the duty of the Chancellor of the Exehequer to give the slight est intimation beforehand of the course he intended to take. Re had given notice this week of making what was called the financial statement at an earlier day than had over been known. He should make it to-morrow week, and therefore any impatience there might be would not have to be long tried. His determination would then be known. The gen tleman opposite him (Mr. Nelson) had made a very eloquent speech to-day, and had put i nto his (Sir C. Wood's) mouth words which he could only say he did not remember to have used. He was glad to see so large a deputation, and he had now only to express his thanks for the tone and temper in which the business had been conducted. The deputation then withdrew. THE ARMY. ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—A portion of the Royal Horse Ar tillery and the field batteries, and also of each of the twelve battalions, assembled at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, on the Guard Mounting-parade, to hear the sen tence of a general court-martial read, of which the following are the particulars:— Field -Marshal the Commander-in-Chief having had the honour to lay before her Majesty the Queen the proceedings of the general court-martial holden at Woolwich Barracks on the 30th of October last, and re-assembled on the 27th of November following, for the trial of recruit gunner and driver William Jones, 7th battalion Royal Artill er y, w h o was arraigned upon the undermentioned charges, viz.:- 1. For habitual drunkenness in having been drunk four times within twelve months, viz. :—Oct. 3, 1849, at Wool wich ; Feb. 24,1860, at Woolwich ; June 21, 1850, at Wool wich; and Sept. 15, 1850, at Woolwich. 2. For disgraceful conduct on the said 15th of September, 1850, at Woolwich, in having then and there bit off part of the ear of gunner and driver Thomas Ward Kelly, 7th bat talion Royal Artillery. 3. For having on the day and year last aforesaid, at Woolwich, then and there struck and cffered violence against Sergeant Adam Clark, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, by striking him with his fist, and for having then and there spat in the face of Sergeant John Clark, his superior officers, being then and there in the execution ortheir office. 4. For conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline on the day and year last aforesaid, at Woolwich, in having then and there resisted the escort whick was mak ing him a prisoner, and In having then and there torn the great coat of gunner and driver Michael Donlan ; 4th bat talion Royal Artillery, and in having then and there broken a pillar of the guard bed. Upon which charges the Court came to the following de cision : The Court having maturely considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, is of opinion, with regard to the first charge, that he, the prisoner. recruit gunner and driver William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Honourable G. T. Devereux's detachment, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, is Guilty. With regard to the second charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. With regard to the third charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. With regard to the fourth charge, that the prisoner is Guilty. The Court having found the prisoner guilty of all the charges preferred against him, which being in breach of the articles of war, and taking into consideration his general bad character, do now sentence him, the prisoner, recruit gunner and driver William Jones, of Captain and Adjutant the Hon. G. T. Devereux's deta c h men t, 7 t h battalion Royal Artillery, to be deprived of one penny a day of his daily pay for the period of two years, agreeably to the 32d clause of the Mutiny Act ; also to the forfeiture of all additional pay whilst serving; and the Court do further sentence him, the prisoner, to be transported as a felon for seven years. Her Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the find ing and sentence of the Court, and to command that the pri soner be transported aecordingly beyond the sea, to such place as her Majesty, by the advice of her Privy Council, shall think fit to nominate and appoint. The Master-General directs that the above be read to the Regiment of Artillery at three parades. (Signed) H. D. Ross, Dep. Adjutant-General. Immediately after the parade yesterday morning the pri soner, William Jones, was marched by an escort, consisting of one non-commissioned officer and two gunners and drivers, to the Milibank Penitentiary, where he would be handed over to the authorities there, to have his sentence of trans portation beyond the seas carried into effect. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Vulcan steam-troop frigate, Master-Commander Penn, has been undoeked at Sheerness, after being coated with the composition of Mr. Peacock, the Superintendent of the Southampton Decks, for the prevention of the growth of submarine animalcules, &c., which preparation has been emi nently successful on the Peninsular and Oriental Company's vessels, and is highly spoken of on foreign stations as sup plying the desideratum, long felt, of an antidote to the foul ing of the bottoms of vessels. Captain Jervis, R.N., Super intendent of the Convict:; at Bermuda, in a letter just re ceived, says this preparation "answers admirably, both on the Governor's boat, which is of wood, and on the copper with which mine is sheathed, and you know this place (Bermuda) is desperate for foul bottoms." The Seaflower cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Fletcher, has been taken into the Camber-dock to-day to receive a new bowsprit. The Arguiskearn-sloop has been stripped of her jury rigging and dismasatle reparatory to being docked and coppered. The Birkenhead iron iteam-frigate, Master-Commander King, fitting for troop service, wiltbe undoilokten Saturday. She has bean fitted with fidded top Mast. WOOLWICH, FEB. 6.—Boatswain APPOINTMENTS George Wilson to the Ocean, SO, flag-ship at Sheerness. Carpenter Thomas Fuller, to the Ocean. Commander Quin, recently Commander of the Waterwitch, 8, sloop, visited Woolwich - Dockyard yesterday, to try the effect of a plan he proposed for illuminating the upper decks of vessels of war during the night time without the light used being a mark for the enemy to direct their shot or shells, or other missives of war, to the vessel. The experi ment was tried on board the Fisgard flag-ship, at this port, by supporting the light on the mast, and shading it with shades placed in an angular position, which lighted the part of the deck over which it was placed, without the light itself being observable even at a shwrt distance from the vessel. NEW ART OF SILVERING GLASS. Of all the fabrics t hat now contend for the palm of beauty in art manufacture, glass is at once the mo , t elegant an, the most superb. Coloured or gilt, our modern works in ' i this pure and fragile material begin to excite just admira lion. owing especially - to the almost perfect quality of British glass. This circumstance has enabled our glass stainers, with their improved artistical taste and chemical skill, to compete withand distance completely the antique productions in stained glass, some of which hove long re mained the wonders of art, from their imperishable quality of colour and quaint expression of character and design. In common coloured ornaments, formed of glass pervaded by colour, the Bohemians have long eclipsed the world ; and we had till lately no expectation of being able to compete with them in any department of ornamental glass manu facture, although their material, as stated in the " Revue Polytechnique," is understood to hide its imperfections under the clock of the colour interfused. A recent inven tion by Mr. Hale Thomson will henceforth place the Bri tish manufacturer far ahead of all such competition in the production of ornamental glass. It consists in coating the inner or reverse surface with pure silver. To this process it is that we owe the gorgeous orbs that begin to appear in London and Edinburgh drawing-rooms as pendants to the gaselier. The exhibition of the varied results and' applica tions of this novelty in art is, however, still comparatively unknown, being almost limited in London to the private friends of the patentees, and in Edinburgh only displayed at one establishment in Princess -street (Mr. Millar's). The extraordinary reflective power of the surface, and its capa city to throw back rays without more cleaning or polish, ing than might be required by a window-pane or commott tumbler, render the process specially applicable for the re Hectors used in railway signal lamps and in light-houses., It is contemplated even to employ it in the construction of astronomical instruments; and not only so, but already have its extraordinary powers in the multiplication and reflexion of light been rendered available in surgery as an important auxiliary in conducting the most difficult operations. The dull amalgam applied to ordinary looking-glasses, and which derives nearly all its lustre from the glass, the back being opaque, and devoid of radiance, can bear no comparison with this silvering, which is effectually beyond the reach or possibility of being tarnished or impaired, ex cept by the destruction of the object into whose superfices it is interfused. A sparkling warmth emanates from the metalic radiance, contrasted with which the Bohemian glass is merely pretty or tinselly. The gorgeous glow of the antique Venetian glass, the secret of which is now a lost art, seems here restored; but even the Venetian absorbed the light, and before its exquisite beauties could be descried, had to be held up ; whereas the English silvered glass flashes back the light, and at night, when surrounding objects are obscured in partial gloom, is then most radiant and con spicuous. Professor Donaldson, in a recent address to the Royal Architectural Society, in advocating the use of this gorgeous material in shop fronts —which would give us, in deed, crystal commercial pal aces , an d eclipse in London the boast of Augustus at Rome, of having found it built of brick and left it of marble—pointed out that, independently of the silvering, many of the tints produced are entirely new, and such as no combination of prismatic hues had hitherto dis closed to the em st experienced colourist. The nomenclature of art has, in fact, at present no vocabulary expressive of these novel results. But purples, sapphires, pinks, vermil lions, pearls, bronzes, and every chromatic hue from bright est steel to deepest gold, are thrown up in this new argentine reflection. Another characteristic never, according to the German prints, attempted since the discovery of glass itself by Hermes the Syrian, distinguishes this manufacture—that is, embossing. The thing, it is true, is an optical delusion. To the touch, the apparently raised or sunken surface, dead or frosted, cut or burnished, does not exist. But the eye, nevertheless, beholds such results. Crystal silver cups, goblets lined with burnished gold, epergnes, candelabra, wine -coolers, salts, tazzas, ink-stands, ewers, sugar-boxes, and all sorts of ornaments, are the ob jects to which w e have: seen this invention applied. Candle sticks it seems impossible to distinguish from actual silver; and looking-glasses, with frames made in th e same p i ece, are warmly praised by the Liverpool press, where it has been stated that frame and glass together, composed of embossed and variegated glass, have also been prepared expressly for the residences of certain eminent London artists, from designs furnished by themselves; and are perhaps a greater source of astonishment than any of the smaller achievements in chimney, toilet, or table ornaments. But the mirror globes which we have already mentioned are in their exquisite sim plicity the gems of the whole collection. Of all sizes, of all colours; from two to thirty inches in diameter; from the capacity of half a pint to that of forty gallons, these magni ficent mirror balls, placed on the shoulders of an Atlas, or under the talons of an eagle of bronze, are at once the type and glory of this exquisite art.— Chanibers's Journal. SUSPECTED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND, AT TODMORDEN. Great excitement was caused in York on the morning of Tuesday last by a rumour being spread abroad that a gen tlemanly-looking man had been apprehended by the police on a charge of having murdered his wile, at Todmorden, by administering poison to her. The report was verified at noon, by the prisoner being taken down to the Guildhall, where, before the Lord Mayor and I'. W. Wilson, Esq., he was charged, by the name of John Cooper, with having, on the 2d of January last, mur dered his wife, Jane Cooper, by the means above stated. Little or nothing, however, transpired there, for the accused had been brought up only for the purpose of Mr. Chalk, the superintendent of the York police, asking fur a remand until Thursday, which was granted; the prisoner, who asserted his entire ignorance of the crime imputed to him, having a request of his also complied with, viz., that he in the mean time might be allowed to consult with a professional adviser. It is stated that Cooper was formerly head assistant at Lincoln Grammar School, and that since then he has resided at Stanfield-hall, near Todmorden, which is on the Yorkshire side of the border between that county and Lancashire, where he conducted a boarding-school for young gentlemen. He is about 30 years of age, and married a Miss Ripley, of Tockwith, near York. His own parents reside at Kirk Ham merton, near this city. He has been married about four years, and has two children—one about six weeks old, and the other about two years. In the latter part of December last his wife gave birth to their second child, and she died on the 2d of January last. The remains of the deceased were brought to Bilton to be buried among her relatives, and Cooper had remained in this neighbourhood since. Some three or four days ago a suspicion arose that Mrs. Cooper's death had been caused by some foul means, and this suspicion resulted in an application being made to the coroner, J. Wood, Esq., of this city, who on Tuesday last opened an inquiry at Bilton, which stands adjourned until Monday next. The result of the inquiry, as far as it went on Tuesday, was, that the coroner issued his warrant for the exhumation of the body of the deceased, with a view to an analysis of the contents of the stomach. With respect to the apprehension of the husband, we find that police-sergeant Heap, trent Todmorden, came to York on Sunday last, it beeing supposed that Cooper would arrive on business on the following day. The superintendent of the York police was consequently communicated with, and he having taken steps to search for the accused, it was fonnd that be had arrives at York, and that be had taken up his residence at the Black Swan Hotel, in Coney-street, where he had represented himself as a clergyman wishing to obtain a marriage licence. On Monday evening Cooper at tended one of the Wesleyan chapels in this city, and, having been followed about from place to place by an officer in un dress, he was finally apprehended between ten and eleven o'clock at night on a warrant issued by the Lord Mayor. As in all such cases, a motive for alleged murder h as b een sought for; and the one assigned is that the accused has been on very intimate terms with the daughter of a Wes leyan minister at Alford, in Lincolnshire, to whom he was anxious to be allied.
