[The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday :—] FRANCE. During the course of the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the following discussion took place on the subject of the orders alleged by the Pctrie to have been issued to the troops by General Changarnier : The Algeria Commerce Regulation Bill having been read a second time, The President announced that M. Napoleon Bona parte demanded leave to address interpellations to the Minister of War, relative to instructions given by General Changarnier to the army under his orders. — (Cries of " In three months ;" others "Immediately.") The Minister of War asked that they be postponed until Monday. The delay of three months was put to the vote and rejected, Generals Lamoriciere and Bedeau and about 40 members voting in that sense. The immense majority of the Assembly, however, rose against it. The proposition to fix the interpellation for Monday was similarly rejected, and the Assembly decided that they should take place immediately. M. Napoleon Bonaparte then rose and said, that he had read with surprise and disgust an article inserted in the Pctrie on the liberation of M. Mauguin by order of the National Assembly, stating that if the director of the Debtor's Prison had refused obedience most serious consequences might have ensued, inas much as it declares positively that the following are among " the general and permanent instructions " given by the Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paris to the commanders of troops under his orders : —" 1. Not to obey any requisition until after having received the orders of the Lieutenant-General ; 2. Not to listen to the Representatives; 20. Every order which does not come from the General-in-Chief is null ; 21. Every requisition, summons, or demand made by a civil, judicial, or political functionary, shall be rigorously rejected." M. Bonaparte observed that if such instructions were signed by Windischgratz or Radetzky he would find it quite simple, but a French general's name should never have figured at the bottom of such a document. He expected this morning to read in the Moniteur an article communique, denying the existence of those instructions, which violated the spirit of the Constitution and wounded public con science. The Assembly, he added, disposed of the military force for its protection, and yet the troops were enjoined not to obey any requisition that did not emanate from the General-in-Chief. Traitors were to be immediately shot, and who was to discriminate between loyal citizens and traitors ? In presence of such instructions, which he had every reason to be lieve real, it was important that the Assembly should assume an energetic position. It was sovereign and should be obeyed. He thought that every power should be reminded of the respect due to the Consti tution, and he accordingly proposed the following resolution : " The National Assembly, blaming the instructions given to the troops under his orders by General Chan gamier, invites the Minister of War to modify them, and passes to the order of the day." The Minister of War replied that he never refused the combat, and that if he had asked that the interpel lations be fixed for Monday it was to have time to make inquiries respecting the existence of that docu ment. On reading the article in the Patric he had ordered research to be made in the War-office, and no trace of it could be found. He was only told that such instructions had been issued 29 months ago, but he could assure M. Bonaparte that they were no longer in existence. General Changarnier, who followed, declared that the alleged instructions inserted in the Patrie were not the textual copy of any permanent or temporary instructions issued by the Commander-in-Chief.— (Bravos throughout the hall.) In no case could it enter his mind to question the constitutional right of the Assembly to dispose of the military force for its protection.—(Redoubled bravos.) When his comrade General Cavaignac invested him with the command of the National Guard, he had thought proper to frame instructions which were to guide the officers under his orders in case of a collision. He held them in his hand, and if the Assembly wished—(No, no)—he would read them to it. The Patrie might have found them in the journals of the time. Tney had since been approved of by all the Administrations that had suc ceeded each other since that period. The discussion being afterwards closed, the order of the day, moved by M. Napoleon Bonaparte, was re jected by an almost unanimous vote, and the simple order of the day was adopted. The Assembly subsequently adjourned at half•past five o'clock, amidst the greatest agitation. GREAT FLOOD AT CARLISLE. (From the Carlisle Journal.) It is not often tbat we have to record a circum stance of so extraordinary a character as has happened in this district within the last forty-eight hours. During the whole of yesterday, about a thousand acres of ground in the neighbourhood of this city were completely under water. Since the year 1822, the waters of the Eden, the Caldew, and the Pet teril have not risen to such a height, and we ques tion whether at that memorable period the waters were higher, though unquestionably the storm was much greater, and the damage done to property very much more. The weather, which has been very changeable since our last, assumed on Wednesday night a very serious aspect. The wind rose in the afternoon, the rain came on and poured down in perfect torrents, and storm and rain continued till a late hour. The rivers, which during the day were about their usual limits, gradually rose, and it was evident that the waters were rapidly rising to an un usual height. At ten o'clock the rain cleared off for a time, but the wind continued during the greater part of the night, and passengers on the West Walls could scarcely keep their feet. A gentleman who was going home with his wife in that direction, be tween the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, had his hat blown off and carried to a great distance; his wife was blown down on the footpath, and it re• quired every exertion to keep himself up. An hour or two after midnight there was a heavy fall of rain again, but the howling of the blast began somewhat to diminish, and its strength seemed on the wane. By daylight the atmosphere was compara tively placid, and the rain had altogether ceased. The sun, howexer, rose upon a sight of the most astonish ing description. The whole of Rickerby Holme, Stoney Holme, the Swifts, the Willow holme, the Sorceries, and other low-lying lands, were com pletely under water. The currents of the rivers were merged and undistinguishable in the vast expanse. We are glad to find thot the loss of sheep and cattle has been very trifling compared with what might have been expected. Mr. John Irving had eighty-two sheep at pasture in the Far Sorceries. Orders had been given to have them removed on Wednesday night, something like high water being anticipated, though not a deluge such as it proved. The orders given seem to have been either misunderstood or neglected, and Thursday morning at eight o'clock found them surrounded with water, and perched on the sheep mounds. The water was fast rising, and the most energetic measures had to be adopted to secure them. A boat was obtained, and two men (one of them naked) set to work. By dint of the most persevering exertions, seventy of them were brought over in the boat to terra firma. Four of them swam across to Etterby Scaur end saved their lives ; two were carried through the rail way arches and ware brought out at Etterby. They were thus all saved but six, which fell a prey to the flood, and have not been recovered. The exertions of the naked sheep catcher excited considerable merriment amongst the on-lookers at the Castle Bank. On the near Soceries the Messrs. Dixon had seventeen sheep. They were taken of? by means of boats, about nine o'clock yes terday morning, and during the day they were to be seen quietly grazing on that portion of the Bitts which w as now under The number of anima l s lost cann o t b w e at lail>ireeistentbt exac tly ascertained.

The whole of the groun d up above t b h e e level of the moat round the castl e was flooded. T pets of the bridge leading into th e Sorceries only p a - P a peared above the water. The cri c k e t ers ' tent door. was burst open by the flood, and the building was more than half under water. From the Castle -bank across to the foot of Etterby Scaur was one continued watery expanse, and scarcely broken even by the insignificant top of a hedge-row. Had the Devon shire and other banks been as law as they were not many years ago there is little question that a lar, portion of the lower district of Rickergate would have been deluged. The scene from Etterby Scaur, at four o'clock, was one of great beauty and gran deur. The whole of the vale 1;Qlow was one broad expansive and placid lake, or rather resembled some model bay for the anchorage of an extensive mvy. The view towards Iticktrhy from Eden-bridge was lovely in the extreme. As far as the vlsion could penetrate there was one wide expanse of water, only broken by the uprising plantations. From Eden bridge the water on both sides would not be less than an area of a thousand acres', Along Botcherby-road the fields were flooded. The gardens at Warwick road were submerged, and the water reached up to the road at the toll-bar. At Petteril.bridge, in place of the usual rippling stream, we had a river of such volume that it could scarcely get through the arch. The road up to Botcherby-mill was impassable. The road a little beyond the bridge was flooded for a quarter of a mile. Here a speculator, with horse and gig, conveyed passengers over the road for a penny a piece, and the water at some places took the horse up to the knees. Tne garden of Mr. Peter Dixo❑ at Holme Eden wis flooded, and the water was up as high as Dr. Tin ning's house at Warwick. We have been informed that the Wetheral Mill, which stands on the banks of the river opposite Corby, has been completely washed down. At Knockupworth a mud cottage was on Wednesday night levelled to the ground by the violence of the storm. We may add that the flood was at its highest at two o'clock yesterday. After that time it began gradually but very slowly to fall, and at four o'clock this morning it had sub sided very much. It was observed that the flood pro ceeded principally from the Eden. The impetucus Caldew has been higher when the flood was less ; and the Petteril, though certainly at an extraordinary height, has not very long ago been beyond the limits it assigned itself yesterday. The flood yesterday caused quite a sensation in the city. Crowds of people were to be seen at all hours of the day on the Castle-bank, Devonshire-walk, Eden-bridges, Etterby Scaur, and other places whence a ♦iew of the graad spectacle could be ob tained. PENRITH, JAN. 2.—This town and neighbourhood were visited by an awful storm of wind and rain during the evening of New Year's-day, which lasted the whole of the night without the least intermission ; and the rivers and the becks having been full with the rain of Tuesday, they became perfectly full, and in many places the banks were overflowed, and great damage was done. The river Eden at Longwatby overflowed its embankment, and between the Toll Gate and the bridge over the turnpike road it ran a perfect torrent, and was impassable. At Brougham Castle Mill, the confluence of the Eamont and the Lowther, the water was very high, and for a time the premises were in great danger of being swept away. A good deal of damage has been done, but not to the eitent expected. At or near Shap Beck, the arch of a bridge on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway was washed down, and the mail trains going north and south were detained there many hours—the mail going south ten hours, and the mail going north thirty-four hours. This is a very serious affair, and will cause great uneasiness and confusion. The bridge has been temporarily repaired, and the trains DOW pass as usual. The storm raged at Penrith from five in the evening till six next morning, when it cleared up, and the wind ceased. This day (Thurs day) has been fine, and suited to the season. APPLEBY, THURSDAY, JAN. 2.—The heaviest flood of the river Eden that has been known at Appleby since the memorable Candlemas flood of 1822, which created such vast destruction of bridges and pro perty in the north, was witnessed at Appleby on Thursday morning. During the latter part of Wednesday the rain began to fall in tor rents, and the wind to blow a tremendous hurri cane. The storm continued with unabated fury until about four o'clock on the following morning. The river, which was previously heavily charged, began to overflow its banks at an early hour of the night, and soon after midnight had completely inundated the lower grounds in the neighbourhood, laying waste the hedges in every direction, and sweeping with im petuous force every loose object with which it came in contact. The lower part of the town of Appleby, especially Chapel-lane, was a complete sea, and the inhabitants of the houses in that locality had to remove their furniture into the second story, the depth of water in the houses averaging about three feet.

A correspondent has forwarded to a Devonport paper the following, under the date of her Majesty's ship Leander, Lisbon, December 17, 1850:—" Sir,—Through the medium of your valuable paper, I beg to contradict a statement which has been circulated through some of the Devonport papers, stating that in a stiff breeze on the 19th of November last, the Phaeton, as usual, beat all the other ships of the squadron, and in so doing twisted the head of her foremast, and still held the pre-eminence; and that the Arethusa came next. It is true she twisted the head of her foremast; but nothing is said concerning her carrying away her jibboom, port bumpkin, and a portion of her cut water, topsail sheets, &e. I am surprised at such a statement as beating the Arethusa, but, however, it is clear enough that it is out of prejudice to the model of British naval architecture' (the Arethusa). I will here relate the fscts as they occurred in our different trials of sailing. During the summer we had several trials on a wind, with scarcely enough wind to keep the sails full; the Phmton then certainly bad the advantage, but very little of the Arethusa. On the sth of Nov. last we left Lisbon, and for several days we were either becalmed or had light airs, but at 10 30 A.M. on the 18th a change took place; the sky became overcast. At 11 30 the Com modore made signal to try the rate of sailing on a wind. By this time there was: a stiff royal breeze. All the frigates had a beautiful start. About 3 P.M. (the wind in creasing) the Phaeton was obliged to take in her royals. At this hour the Arethusa gained about 1# to 2 miles; at 4 P.M. Phaeton hoisted a signal, " I cannot carry on," for no other reason than tho Arethusa was laughing at her to windward. 4 30, signal to take station, and reefed topsails and courses, blowing very fresh, which continued during the night. At 8 o'clock the following morning (19th November) there was a good sea up, with about a half gale of wind; 8 20, Commodore made signal to Phaeton, " What sail can you carry ?" Answer, " Double reefed topsails, reefed courses, and topgallant sails." A similar signal to Arethusa. Answer, " Single reofed topsails, whole courses, topgallant sails, and reefed royals if I require them." 8 40, signal— prepare to try rate of sailing with all possible sail. At 9 40 we started—the Phaeton with double-reefed top sailed, reefed courses, and no topgallant sails, as per signal to the Commodore; the Arethusa carried the sail as before mentioned, per signal. At the instant we started, the Phaeton was on the lee•bow of the Are thusa, and the other frigates far astern, and to leeward. It was a splendid sight; in about forty minutes the Are thusa brought the Phaeton on her lee quarter. It was laughable to see the wind's eye frigate (Phaeton) occasionally making a clear jump out of the water, like a flying fish escaping the pursuit of a dolphin. Finding herself going so fast, to leeward, and astern of Arethusa, she sent hands aloft to loose topgallant sails; fortunately for the crew, it was not done. The Are thusa at this time, being about one mile to windward, received a very heavy squall, and heeled over to it in beautiful style. After the worst of it passed the Are thusa, every eye was turned to the Phaeton to leeward, anxious to see how she would receive it, when, the instant it caught her, she became a complete wreck, carrying away her jibboom, port bumpkin, a portion of her cutwater, and topgallant sheets; it was melan choly to look at her—the sea occasionally making a clean break over her. Commodore made signal to close reef topsails and courses, blowing very heavy. Commodore then made signal to Phaeton— " When will you be ready to continue the trial?" Answer—" I don't know." Commodore—" Can you keep your station?" Answer—" No." A telegraph of soma length of time took place between the Commodore and the Phaeton ; at last she was ordered to Plymouth or Portsmouth, as most con venient, to repair 2,0001. damage, whilst the Are thusa did not strain a rope. The Phaeton left us about 4 P.M. of the 19th, in the Bay of Biscay, where we knocked about with heavy weather for several days. When we arrived again in Lisbon on the 27th, we were anxiously waiting the arrival of the mail from England, to hear it she had arrived safe. The Phaeton is a beautiful vessel in fine weather, and it is a pity that she should be sent out of the English Channel in the winter Leeson to encounter rough weather." JERSEY ROYAL COURT. MISS JULIA RUSH V. CARDINAL WISEMAN. Our readers will doubtless remember this affair, which came before the Royal Court on the sth inst. The following is the mandate of justice in which Miss Julia Rush specified her demands on, and sued for compensation from, Cardinal Wiseman. " Upon the remonstrance made to justice by Miss Julia Rush, showing that in the year 1848 the com plainant, who professes the Roman Catholic religion, having formed the design of establishing a religious house called a convent, wrote to the very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman, Doctor of Divinity, Bishop of MJipotamus, to obtain his approbation and authority to put this pro ject in execution, and in the month of March, of the same year, she received from him a letter, as follows: " Dear Madame—l have at present time only to say that I approve most sincerely of your pious design to establish a religious house in Jersey, and I depute the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, for the purpose of carrying out your plan. When the fine weather comes, I shall do myself the pleasure of person ally visiting the community. "‘ Yours, very sincerely in Christ, " Mrs. Butler.' (Signed) " N. WISEMAN. "That in consequence the said complainant arranged with the Rev. John Cunningham, who at that time ofi ciated at the chapel called St. Peter and St. Mary, who took upon himself the choice of a ground proper for the erection of this edifice, and recommended a house and g arden belongicg to Mr. George De La, Perrelle and adjoining the property belonging to the said chapel; that the said complainant having approved of this choice, and the purchase price having ben regulated with the said Sieur Do La, Perrelle, the acquisition was made, and she gave to the said Mr. Cunningham the sum of 100/. sterling to pay the consideration in money, which was to effect the contract of purchase; that nub sequently the said complainant paid to Mr. Peter Bourke, who had undertaken to build upon the said ground the house and edifices necessary for the said convent, the sum of 392/. sterling money of Great Britain; that those buildings were commenced when the said Rev. John Cunningham died; that in the month of March, 1849, she learned that Mr. Michael Cunningham, sole collateral heir to the said deceased Rev. John Cunningham, his brother, had by contract dated 3d October, 1848, made over and sold in perpetuity to the Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman, Doctor in Divinity, to the Rev. George Talbot and to the Rev. Jeremiah Donovan, all the estates which had belonged to the said Rev. J. Cunningham, and amongst othere the house and garden which the said deceased bad taken and acquired from the said Mr. George De La Perrelle, and in which gardea the construction of the said convent had been begun; that the said complainant was so much the more surprised that this property had been thus transferred, without reserve, to the said Revs. Wiseman, Talbot, and Donovan, as she had understood it was to be transferred to the said Revs. Wiseman and Talbot, and to the said complainant herself, conjointly and all together; that the said complainant has expended the considerable sums above mentioned for the estab lishment of the said convent, in consequence of the ap probation given to this establishment by the said Rev. Nicholas Wiseman; who had deputed the said Rev. J. Cunningham, ecclesiastical superior, to put into execu tion the project of the said complainant, but that since the said Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman had withdrawn this approbation, so that the buildings in erection have been discontinued. That the said Very Rev. Nicholas Wiseman in withdrawing, for unfounded motives, from the said complainant the above-mentioned authorization has acknowledged that the said complainant ought to be reimbursed the'money she has expended for the above object, as asserted in one of his letters addressed to the said complainant in the following terms:— "' Mr. Cunningham, whose memory is so dear to you, was the person who, as you yourself informed me, had the property, &c., entirely in his own name. I have disbursed payment, &c., for the legal transactions, and money has been paid for the convent, borrowed on the security or liability of the priests. Moreover, you can not make further advance to complete the buildings. Let an account, therefore, be taken of all that you have spent, and you shall have security of its repayment, with interest, from the signing of the contract between us; I will then look out fora community that will undertake to refund you your money, and to carry on the esta blishment of a convent, of a recognised order, with subjects ready to send at once, both to direct and to feria it.' " That notwith.tandiug this positive assurance, the said complainant has not been able to obtain reimburse- Merit of what she has ad taneni. That the said com p •Irnt cannot allow the said D.

On Tuesday last, a communica tion from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, through the medium of Mr. 11. J. Baillie, M.P, ' came under consideration ; and we understand the proposal has been unanimously ap proved of. It must still receive the sanction of the county, but there is little doubt that the heritors generally will assent to the' recommendation of their committee. The Chancellor of the Exchequer offers a grant of one-half of the expense, and to advance the other half on the principle of the Drainage Act, at 6 1 / 2 per cent., to be raised by assess ment on the county. The town will thus secure a handsome suspension bridge free of cost, and the public will have the benefit of communication free of toll.

In this case the bankrupt, Thomas Neale, applied for his certificate through his counsel, Mr. Bagley, hut His HONOUR, adjourned the meeting until the result of a claim against the separate estate of Nash made by the assignees of the Maritime Assurance Cam pe.nycould be ascertained. A bankrupt named Corven, who kept what is termed " a cheap shop" in the Hampstead-road, appled fur his certificate. Corven was a baker, and undersold all his neighbours. Beginning with a small capital, he failed considerably in debt, with nothing for his creditors but the lease of the premises, value 5001. The certificate was suspended for two years. Mr. Hilleary appeared for the assignees, and re sisted the concession of protection, which was not granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION--HO USE. On Saturday Joseph Bassett was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of Haydon, the officer, charged with having robbed his employer=, Messrs. Joseph and Albert Savory, of Nos. 47 and 44, Corn hill, of three clocks and a great number of musical boxes. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Muliens, at tended for the prosecution, and said that, for the pur pose of making the case more clear to his Lordship, he should briefly state the chief circumstances. The prisoner had been hired by the late Mr. Thomas Cox Savory, brother to those who constituted the present firm, and a partner in the house, and had been treated most confidentially by his employers, having been appointed to the superintendence of the whole of the business of the premises No. 54. A circumstance, however, occurred which caused suspicion of the honesty of the confidential servant, and it was ascer tained in a very short time that a large number of musical boxes had been stolen, and that pieces of wood, made into the form and size of the boxes, had been substituted for them. The prisoner was, when the robbery was disclosed to the establishment, appre hended, and Haydon, the officer, would state sufficient to justify a remand until a more complete investiga tion could be made. Mr. John Thomson, shopman and clerk to Messrs. Savory, at their residence, No. 47, in Cornhill, said— I went by the direction of my employers on the 11th of December to their warehouse, No. 54, to assist in taking stock, and I saw the prisoner there, and I entered the stock in a book which I now produce. The prisoner called the articles out. I entered under the head of musical boxes about 169, and I also en tered a number of clocks. The stock in No. 54 con sists entirely of clocks and musical boxes. 1 produce two cases which were supposed to be musical boxes. These are empty cases which should contain musical boxes. The handwriting on them is the prisoner's. I produce two other papers or covers, containing blocks of wood, the covers made to resemble the real cases. There are three of these blocks of wood here. After this taking of the stock on the 11 th I returned to No. 47, the principal shop. Tne next time I went to No. 54 was last night. I went then to take stock according to directions, and I found all these things in the state in which they now are. lam satisfied in my own mind as to the state in which the stock wa3 on the I lth of December. On taking stock last night I find the deficiency between the 11th of December and the 3d of January to be in small musical boxes, 40, value SG/. 145.; in large musical boxes, six, value 321. Os. 6d., which, together with the deficiency of four clocks, value 171. 193., gave a total deficiency of 1061. 13s. 6d. The LORD MAYOR—You say you entered stock to the prisoner's calling out on the 11th of Decem ber ? Witness—Yes, to a certain extent. The LORD MAYOR—Did you ever know of any stock being in this ca.e (pointing to one of the empty cases) Witness—Never. The LORD MAYOR—It is not the practice of the house to have dummies on the shelves ? Witness— It is not. The LORD MAYOR—These, then, might, for any anything you know, have been there on the 11th of December ? Witness—Yes. The Loab MAYOR.--I would, in the case of taking stock, have directed that the person calling out should not be the person who had the stock under his care. Did the prisoner give security to his employers upon going into his situation ? Witness—l do not know. I have given security to them. Mr. Savory (one of the partners) here said, the prisoner did not give any security. He had been taken by his late brother, and great confidence was reposed in him. The prisoner (to the witness)—What clocks are missing ? Witness—A. marble clock, at 6 guineas ; a foreign bracket, at 6/.; one foreign alarm, at 505.; and another at 635. The prisoner—They were right, I know, on the 11th of December. Mr. Wrathall, also a shopman in the service of Messrs. Savory, said—l entered the service of my employers in February. I then was at No. 9, Cornhill. I am now on duty at No. 54, Cornhill, into which premises I went on the 18th of December, and I re main there in charge of the stock. The prisoner was there, and I received the stock from him. I received no book from him. I kept my own books. I see the things produced. I never saw such articles as dum mies or empty boxes on the premises. I discovered these (pointing to the pieces of wood in the shape of music -boxes) myself, when taking them out of the window to show a customer. I think it was on Fri day, the 20th of December, I took one from the win dove, and found that it was a piece of wood. From that discovery I considered it necessary to have the stock taken altogether. The sum of my discovery was three dummies and three empty cases. The LORD MAYOR—What did you du after making this discovery on the 20th of December ? Witness—l mentioned it on the following morning to my fellow-assistant, who advised me to represent it to Mr. Sansom, who is at No. 47, Cornbill, in order to have stock taken. I went, not to Mr. Sansom, but to Mr. M'Culloch, the cashier, and told him, from what I had seen, I wished to have the stock taken. I gave the cashier notice to that effect on Saturday. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wishedl to ask the witness any questions, replied in thei negative. Michael Haydon, the officer, was then sworn. He said—l apprehended the prisoner at No. 2, Milford grove, Old Kent-road, in a house occupied by hint and his mice and five children. I told him I was an officer, and that I called at the instance of his lute employers, Messrs. Savory and Co , to make inquirivs respecting some musical boxes and clocks that had been stolen from their warehouse under circum stances which rendered it necessary that I should asli him a few questions about it. He was very inue agitated, and could scarcely speak. At last he nail, " I know nothing about them. You are welcome .10 search my house. You will find nothing here." I searched the place, and received from the prisoner's wife the two duplicates produced for clocks. I asked him what answer I should consider he made to my inquiries, and I told him that, in justice to him self, if he was innocent, he ought to clear the matter up. lie then burst out crying, and said, " I todk some of the things ; God Almighty knows it was fear e want I did it. Pray intercede for me, and say wise t you see here," and he looked round the room, whic,n certainly was in a wretched condition. He continuo:l', "I never could have done it if I had been batter paae.t. I have a wife and five children, and but 1/. Bs. a week, which is not sufficient to keep them." The prisoner—l also said I hid a small commis sion of fourpence in the pound upon what I sold. Haydon—There was not a word said by the pri.. soner about a commission. He distinctly said that all be had from his employers was 285. a week. Mr. Bush at once proved, and the prisoner did not deny the fact, that the prisoner had his board and at commission upon all he sold, as well as the 28s. a , week from his employers. The LORD MAYOR said he was glad that such an explanation had taken place, and remanded the pri soner till next week. GUILDHALL. A respectable-looking man, about thirty years of age, answering to the name of William Daniels, but who has at various times gone under the names of " Thomas Kittner" and W. D. Bosse, highly re spectable gentlemen living in Cornwall, was brought up before Alderman Lawrence, charged with uttering forged mining shares. Mr. Thomas Fuller, mining sharebroker, of 48, Threadneedle-street, said that he received a letter from the prisoner purporting to come from a Mr. W. D. Boase, the purser of the Wheal Mary Anne, near Liskeard, in Cornwall, stating that he (prisoner) had some shares in that mine to sell, and desiring him (witness) to dispose of them for him. He (prisoner), in his letter, referred witness to another broker as to his known respectability. Prisoner said be wanted 50/. per share. Witness wrote to him, saying he would dispose of the shares as soon as he (prisoner) should be able to send him the transfer. Witness re ceived a letter in answer enclosing the transfer of the shares, purporting to be signed by I,lr. Boase. Wit ness sold the shares for the prisoner, and sent the transfer into the umntry, but having since found out that it was a forgery, he had made good the shares to the purchaser. Witness called at the Old Bell, in Holborn, to see the prisoner, but hs liras not within, and he (wit ness) paid the landlord of the house 501., who after wards paid it to the prisoner. Prisoner had given in struction to the landlord to get cash only for the shares, and when witness offered a cheque it was refused, and cash was ultimately paid. Mr. Boase, of the Wheal Mary Anne Mine, had been communi cated with, and his reply was that the shares were forged, and that the prisoner Daniels had committed the forgery, as the transfer was in his (prisoner's) handwriting. "William Bunyer, of the Old Bell Hotel, said he knew the prisoner. He had ireqth,nted ills huti,e lately and represented himself as Mr. Boase, and also as a friend of an old customer of w•itneas'r. Witness received the 501. from the luE,t witness, and paid it over to the prisoner. He saw the prisoner write the receipt he now produced. It was signed " William B. B )a,se." Alderman LAWRENCE, on comparing the receipt and the letter alleged to have been written by the prisoner to Mr. Fuller, said that he thought they were both evidently written by the same person, and from the last witness's statement there could be no doubt but that the prisoner was the man. Daniel May, a detective officer, said there were several other cases against the prisoner, and that he only wanted a little time to bring witnesses up from the country to prove them against the prisoner. He had also been given to understand that prisoner had lately (about six weeks ago) been married to a young girl in the country, and that he also had another wife alive at the time. The other name the prisoner had adopted, "Thomas Kittner," was the name of a gen tleman who acted as treasurer to the above mine, and well known in the mining share market. Under all these circumstances he applied for a remand, in order to collect the necessary evidence to substantiate the charge against the prisoner. Alderman LAWRENCE then remanded the prisoner till next week, and he was accordingly removed from the bar. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY begged to acknowledge the following further donations for Jane Wilbred :- 13s. 6J. subscribed by " Gentlemen who visit the par lour of the Prince of Orange, Gravesend ;" 10s. from "A few sympathisers at Brixham ;" and 55. from "H. S." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Henry Harwood was charged before Mr. Hardwick with a burglary in the house of Mrs. Cheratt, No. 24, Soho-square. James Booth said he was coachman to Mrs. Cheratt, who occupied the whole of the house in Soho-square, with the exception of the shop, which was let to a person named Newman. As his mistress was an in valid, and very timid, he had been requested to sleep in the middle drawing-room, where a considerable quantity of plate was usually kept. About two o'clock that morning he was awakened by a noise, and on looking about he saw the front drawing-room door, which usually stood open, pulled to. Being surprised at this he sat up in bed, and in a minute or two after wards he saw the door leading to the landing opened by a strange man. He got out of bed and seized the intruder. A struggle ensued, and the man made to wards the window in the front drawing-room, and jumped out on the portico. Witness followed, and seized the man again, and called loudly for the police. The man got from his grasp, and tumbled off the portico, head foremost, on the foot pavement. Wit ness then heard a voice say, " I have got him, sir." On going down stairs witness found it was the police constable, who had been attracted by the noise, and who came up just in time to secure the prisoner. Witness had his shirt torn to pieces in the struggle with the prisoner. Thomas West, police-constable, said he heard a cry of " Police." He saw the front window open, and a man jump out, followed by another man. He wit. nessed the struggle between the persons on the top of the portico, and. he saw the prisoner fall off on the pave ment. The prisoner appeared much hurt, and very faint. Witness took him to the station-house, and on searching him he found only a few lucifer matches. Witness went back to the house to ascertain in what way the prisoner had obtained an entrance. He found that the prisoner had climed up the portico, and had got in at the first floor window, there being marks of fingers on the top of the portico, which left no doubt that this was the way an entrance had been effected. The prisoner denied being the man. Mr. flARDwIcx complimented the coachman for the courage he had displayed in this dangerous affair, and then fully committed the prisoner for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Henry Kendall, dentist and chiropodist, of No. 14, Brunswick square, was finally examined, charged by Elizabeth Reed, aged 18, his servant, with having violated her under circumstances of an extraordinary nature. The prosecutrix, it appeared, entered the service of the accused in October last, as servant of all work, and remained there until last Friday week. On that day the wife of the prisoner left home, and during her absence the witness went to make her mistress's bed in the upper part of the house, and, whilst thus engaged the prisoner entered the apartment, locked and bolted the door, and endeavoured to throw her on a bed and effect his purpose. She struggled and re • sisted him until he tripped her up, when he accom plished his object. She did not mention what had taken place to her mistress, or to any one else, until the following Tuesday. She then informed a Mrs. Henson, with whom she was in the habit of lodging when out of a situation, who accompanied ber to the residence of Mr. Rendall, and asked him what recom pence he could make for the injury he had done, when he indignantly repelled the accusation in the presence , of his wife, saying they wanted to extort money from him. They then came to this court for a• warrant, and were referred by the magistrate to the police, and she gave him in custody for the felony, and prose .cuted him on Wednesday last before Mr. Tvrrwhitt, when the court was crowded to suffocation. The pro secutrix, whose appearance is foreign, gave her evi dence with an appearance of artless simplicity, and, at the termination of the hearing, the prisoner was or dered to find heavy and responsible security for his appearance on this day. A report of the proceedings having appeared in the newspapers, led to a suspicion that the prosecutrix had been in the habit of trumping up such charges against her masters, and numerous letters have been forwarded to the office of the !prisoner's professional adviser, Mr. Humphre3s, exposing her conduct. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, now attended for the prisoner, and the following extraordinary examination ensued : She having been sworn, Mr. Clarkson said—Now, Miss Elizabeth Reed, bow long is it since you last saw me in a a police-court ? Witness—f don't recollect. _ _ Mr. Clarkson—Come come, Miss Reed, re f res h your memory, or I will for you. Did you not two years ago make a similar charge against Mr. Wil liams, of Regent's park, at Marylebone Police-court ? Prosecutrix (after considerable hesitation) admitted such to be the fact, and that she had made similar charges against others. Mr. Clarkson said he could prove that in five in stances • adding, that from th e age of 15 she h a d exhibited charges of that description, under circum stances that would disgust our readers. He remem bered very well the case of Mr. Williams, and had his brief, with notes then before him. The prosecu trix denied facts which could be incontestably con , firmed by Mr. Williams on the occasion referred to. That charge was dismissed. Mr. Clarkson—Pray, Miss Reed, did you some time ago live in Belfast ?—She said yes. Mr. Clarkson—Did you not charge a gentleman there with rape ? Prosecutrix—l did not tell Mr. Dennison (her then master) so. Mr. Clarkson—Come now, be careful, Miss Reed. Did you not tell Mr. Dennison that a gentleman whom you had so charged had given you 201. to come to England? Prosecutrix—l did not tell him so. Mr. Dennison said such was the fact, and he could prove it. In answer to further questions, she admitted that she charged a man named Gooseberry, a coffeeshop keeper, with rape not long ago, and that a similar accusation she made against a Mr. Stowe ; that she had been charged with lying and other misconduct. Mr. Clarkson said he could call witnesses to prove that the witness was altogether devoid of credit ; and, under the circumstances, he submitted there was not sufficient to warrant a committal for trial. Mr. TYRWHITT remarked that a magistrate was involved in a difficult and delicate position. The prosecutrix had sworn to the fact, and that, coupled with the evidence of Dr. Robertson, the house-sur geon of the Royal Free Hospital, who said the offence had been effected, induced him to feel in duty bound to send the case before a jury. Mr. Clarkson said he must bow to the decision of the bench, and applied to have his client bailed. The worthy MAGISTRATE said, from what bad come out that day his opinion was far from adverse to the prisoner, whom he would liberate on the secu rity of one howekeeper in 501., and his own recog nizance in 1001., to take his trial at the ensuing Old Bailey sessions. The necessary security being taken, the prisoner left with his friends. THE COUNT' LIVERPOOL, JAN. 4.—Th there is no demand. K. If MARKETS.

From abroad, however, CO' sidereb:e supplies of wheat and flour have again been r. ceived, with a fair quantity of beans. At our mark this morning a continuance of inactivity prevaile. caused by an indisposition on the part of the deals and bakers to increase their stocks of any article, and a equal reluctance on the part of holders to force sales 1 more than a very moderate concession in prices, and I material variation from the currency of this day se' night can consequently be noted.

CORK, JAN. 3. _ We have to report some further arrivals of foreign grain, which, added to the large importations previous]) announced, have had the effect of depressing still furthe the trade in foreign wheat. The stocks of this grain ar now unprecedentedly large, and to this cause may b'. mainly ascribed the depression in the article which not exists. The supply of home grain has been exceeding]) moderate, the receipts for the week being only:—Wheat 234 brls, at 17s to 21s per brl; barley, 941 brls, at 10 6d to 12s 4d per brl; oats, 3,396 brie., at 8s to 10a 6d pet brl. With the small quantity of grain arriving to mar ket we have little or no variation to report in tit. value of any article of produce. In foreign wheat, as we have before remarked, but little business has been done• although prices are manifestly in favour of the purchaser. In prepared barley the few transactions that have Woe place have been at last week's rates. Oats cad scarcely be said to have maintained their value. The sales that have been made were but to a moderate ex tent, though some slight concession has been made bY holders. We quote the value of black, 9s 6d to 9s 94; that of white, 10s 63 to lOs 9d per barrel. The flour trade has been very dull and lifeless at last week's prices' The business passing in Indian corn is on the most re' stricted and retail scale, but without any quotable alto: ration in value. Indian meal continues totally neglected. Barrels.

Hercules h as b een appo i nted to convey the 41st Regi ment from Cork at the end of January to Corfu ; the 76th from Corfu to Malta; the 69th from Mika to Bar badoes; the 72d Highlanders to Halifax, Nova Scoti;, and the 38th from the latter place to Portsmouth. SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—The effs , ctive Force of the South-West District, on the Ist of January, consisted of 2 troops of cavalry-76 men; 3 companies of Royal Artillery-280 men; 1 company of Royal Sappers and Miners-96 men; the 3d battalion Grenadier Guards -600 men; 5 regiments of the Line and the Provisional battalion-4,237 men, making a total of Rank and File of 5,689 men. HORSE GUARDS.—We are glad to find that Colonel Wetherall, the Deputy - Adjuntant-General, has quit:, recovered from his recent severe indispostion, and has resumed for some days past his duties at the Horse Guards. NEW MILITARY HOSPITAL, PORTSMOUTH.—We are glad to find that the arrangements for a new hospital tor the troops in Portsmouth Garrison are now com plete, and that the offices, &c., of the Royal Engineers, situated on the mill-dam, have been selected as the sitt for the future accommodation and treatment of the sick soldiers. 'Captain Clifton, of the 12th Lancers, it is reported. , will shortly be appointed to the Staff of Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. THE CHOLERA AT CEPHALONIA.—We have much pleasure in being able to announce that the cholera hay now entirely disappeared from Cephalonia, that the troops are now healthy, and the island is now released from quarantine. Strange rumours of revolting scenes at the burial of the military in a garrison town not a hundred miles from Parsonstown, have reached our ears. As the consequences are likely to be serious to those upon whom the culpa bility rests, and since the commanding officer has taken up the matter, and no doubt, as in duty bound, has re ported it to the general, we refrain fromNntering into details—merely premising that, should those reports find confirmation, is is not very likely the affair will be per mitted to rest here. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., has succeeded to some considerable property on the death of his sister-in law, Mrs. Ogle, of Eaton-place. This lady was a sister of Mr. Raphael, formerly M.P. for St. Albans, who died a few weeks since, and left her s ome J oo,ooo/. Although Sir Charles is known to be possessed of a princely fortune, no one, we are quite sure, will begrudge him any accession of wealth, for he is one of the most benevolent of men, a nd his charities are unb ounded. Many are known, but more are only fel t, for Sir Charles is truly to find it f ame. " one of those " who do good by stea l t h, and blush HER lia.resTy's Snip VENGEANCE.--In anticipation of the Vengeance, 81 Bart., being ordered to , s to private lodgings ashore. ship gallant captain has re moved his family from t e h a,the e - uth harbour Captan L` i r H.

In the Frencha r aenal . s there are employed at least 8,000 forcats • in the English dockyards, the total number does not ' amount to 800 ! LETTERS FOR TILE NEW ZEALAND DIVISION.—we have it from authority that the Admiralty have ordered that in future all letters on service for her Majesty's ships, on the New South Wales or the New Zealand di vision, are to be addressed to Sydney, at which place measures will be taken for forwarding them to their des tination. SMUGGLING A PROMOTION.—In the Navy List, by authority, published on the Ist inst., we find, page 57, at the bottom of the list of Lieutenants, under the sn niority, 1850—" llon. Henry Weyland Chetwynd. Dec. 11." Mistrustful of our own memory as to this officer's standing as a " mate " or " passed midshipman," vie re ferred to the Navy List, by authority, for October, and not finding any such name among the list of some 150 officers, we turned over to the alphabetical list—but without success. We then endeavoured to recollect some dashing affair that had taken place during the past three months of which any young oMcer of the name of Chetwynd was the hero, and turned to our files to assist us: but here, again, we were at fault. In ignorance then of any justifiable excuse on ser vice grounds for promoting an officer whose name now appears in the Navy List for the first time, over the heads of 150 seniors, we can only trace Mr. Chetwynd's good fortune to the fact that he is the third son of Viscount Chetwynd, of Berchaven, co. Cork. If these be all his recommendations for such a distinction at the early age of 21, and at the expense of so many deserving officers senior to him, we do not at all wonder that the Admiralty, being ashamed of the transaction, have smuggled his name into the Quarterly List without previous announcement. ,lIST. MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1851. under fine of 60 sous, and all costs. losses,prejudices, and damages which may ensue—reasons exceptd. Given at S. Helier, this 15th day of November, 1850. "THOMAS LE BRETON, High Bailiff." Mr. Advocate GODFRAY then aslod that time might be granted him to write to Dr. Wiseman. Mr. Advocate LE Suauß said he hail had time enough to write to him since the warrant was servi.d on the 16th of last November. Mr. Advocate GODFRAY replied that a certain time was necessary to correspond respecting this affair, for according to the mandate of justice, the other trustees ought to be summoned as well as Dr. Wiseman. The BAILIFF said the Court would grant a delay until the first day of next term.—Jersey British Press, Dec. 31. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM- PANIES' STOCK.
