X half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors 'this association, for working silver mines in Mexico, held this afternoon, at the offices, No. 5, Fins lury-circus ; Sir John Eastbope, Bart.,in the chair. The report, which was read to the meeting, stated that the directors bad little to add to the in- formation which was laid monthly before the pro prietors on the arrival of advices; but they had the s _sfaction of congratulating them on a gradual lasprovement in the prospects of the company. At last general meeting the proprietors were in formed that Mr. Shoolbred, the present manager at Mexico, had entered into two contracts for two new ;nines, called the "Promontorio" and " Aldano." Toe first adjoined the mine of Rayas, the vein of which, it was 'oelieved, ran into it. The workings of Promoatorio had been prosecuted with encouraging prospects of success, the produce having already nearly covered the outlay. The other mine being situated on entirely virgin-ground, and the shafts requiring to he sunk to 140 feet, the directors had watched its progress with some anxiety, but from the announcements contained in the last di4atch, it appeared to give fair promises of be coming a valuahle acquisition. Though the shaf was 40 varas from the main lode, a small vein of ore had been met with, which yielded 451. per ton. The managers had also secured another mine, called Jesus Maria jJose, situated in the celebrated vein of La Luz, and half way between the 'mines of La Luz and Santa Lucia, the two richest mines now working in Mexico. All the surface workings had been completed, and the sinking of the shaft vs as pro ceeding gradually.. The terms upon which it had bean purchased were very favourable, and great hopes were entertained of the successful result of th'_s pro perty. The workings of the Rayas mine had been subject to the mutations usually incidental to mining operations, but there was no reason to fear that its productiveness would be diminished. The company's share of the produce of this mine, from Ist January to the end of September, amounted to 71,380/. ss. 3,1 , which re duced the mining debt to 462,5931. 4s. 53. The Haciendas of the company, four in number, viz., Barrera, Dolores, Duran, and Casas and Blancas, were kept, and would be employed. The Zacateca claim upon the Mexican Government, so long outstanding, had again been brought before the attention of Lord Palmerston, and the directors had reason to believe that his Lordship's instructions to her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires would lead to a settlement. The report concluded by recommending a dividend at the rate of 7s. fid. per Aare, to be payable on and after the Ist of February next. The total receipts amounted to 43,3371. 7s. 6d., and, after paying expenaes and allowing for liabilities, there were left available assets to the amount of 1 4,7971 7s. 9d. The CIILIEMAN said, as it had been the practice of the company for many years to communicate without the least reserve to the proprietors, by means of cir culars, all the information that was received from the Commissioners at Mexico, they were just as well acquainted with the state of their affairs as the direc tors. M Eking these communications to the proprie• bra bikd been the result of some inconvenience, and tentied to interfere with negotiations at Mexico; hat the directors were ready to pay the penalty in Drder to producD,thatAcind unanimity and good feel ing which ha was happy to say always per va d e d th e i r • . . cieetings owing to the frankoEss with which the di- rectors treated - the ptoprietors. After alluding to the facts stated in the report, he concluded by moving tliat.it be received and adopted. . The motion was unanimously carried. A dividend of 7s. 63.Ashare was then agreed te, and Mr. Henry Bunster elected a director, in the place or' Mr. JaruFs Nelson. Shoolbred, who had been ap pointed Ahnver at Mexico. A vote thanks was then passed to the chair and directors, and the meeting separated. GERMANY. The Oester Correspondent informs us that a serious misunderstanding has arisen between Lieutenant Fi , ld-Marshal Schirding, the Austrian Commander ic,-Chief of the Frankfort garrison, and the Prussian M;jor Deez, the Cimtnander of the city (Platz-Com mandant). A posticript adds that the latter had been subsequently deposed, and the Austrian Captain Dabrawsky appointed to succeed him. TURKEY. Accounts have been received from Constantinople to the 9th. Diplomatic relations had not been resumed with the Austrian Internuncio. Achmet Wekif Effendi, . the newly-appointed Turkish Commissioner in the Principalities, left Con stantinople on the B,.'n for Bucharest. Achmet Effendi was educated at Paris, in the College of Henry IV , and fi petits and writes French perfectly. He is not yet 30 years of age, is well read-in the literature of Europe, and has had several years' expt rience und'r one of the secretaries at the Porte. The new Commissioner is highly esteemed amongst the diplomatic body at Pera. Colonel Ferran:, Secretary of Llgation in Persia, has fririved here, ou his way to England. Rizi Bey, a relative of the Grand Vizier, is gone to Paris as First Secretary to the Turkish Embassy. CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at Guildhall, the weekly meeting of the City Commissioners of Sewers took place. Soon after twelve o'clock M. Deputy Peacock took the chair. The minutes of the last :meeting having been read and confirmed, and other formal business disposed of, a memorial from. the City of London Gas Company was presented and read, in which that company stated their willingness to supply gas at the rate of 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet—(Hear, hear)—and at the rates of 3s. 61. and 3s. per 1,000 cubic feet, provided such a reduction could be effected consistently with their being able to make a dividend of 10 per cent. to their shareholders.—(A laugh.) The memorialists further stated that if any doubts were entertained of their sincerity in these offers, they were perfectly ready to enter into any security that might be deemed neces sary for the purpose of giving to the Court the fullest assurance that the objects which they proposed to ac complish would be fully carried out; and, in this respect, that they were prepared to submit themselves to the direction of the Court. Mr. TAYLOR observed, it was only fair that eny thing intended to be done upon this subject should be made a public act. As regarded the old company, he was bound to express his entire confidence in the high honour of the gentlemen who conducted its affairs: The company bad done what a public body in such a case might fairly be expected to do; they not only reduced their demand to 4 per 1,000 cubic feet, but they had expressed their willingness to sup ply gas at the rate of 6(1., and ever. 3 , . Mr. CONDER moved that the memorial just received from the City ( f London Gas Company be entered upon the minutes of the Court. Mr. YOUNG seconded the motion. Mr. STEVENS observed, that such a proposition might be all very well, but who ever expected to see gas for 3s. or even 3s. 6d. per 1,000 feet from the old company, when they remembered that the memorial did not even promise that until after the company should have been able to pay 10 per cent. to their shareholders ? They could never hope to get gas from that company at a lower rate than 45., and even such a boon as that would never have been granted to the public if it had not been fur the Central Gas Con sumers' Company. Mr. LOTT said that the memorial just presented was a pleasing record to place upon their minutes—it was a great point gained that they were in future to have gas at the r:as of 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet. Mr. BLAKE weild be sorry it it went forth to the public that the memorial then received had induced them to rescind their former resolution. The conces sion now made to the public of a reduction to 4s. per 1,000 feet would never have been made but for the course taken in starting a rival company. Doubtless steam-boats and omnibuses took their passengers frequently for prices scarcely remunerative, but the Court which he then addressed could not have taken any other course than that which it had pursued; and, though the old company had come forward and made offers, he felt that they could not desert the new company, after it had been induced to invest its capital in the undertaking. Mr..ELLIOTT thought they ought to meet the old company with courtesy, and with something like the outward show of justice. The old company had yielded to pressure from without ; they had given way before the power of the Corporation of London, and he thought that their terms ought to be accepted. The character of the old company stood high—that of their chairman stood at least as high as the chair man of the new company; but the old company did not ask them to rest the question upon character alone, they were perfectly ready to give any security that might be required ; they demanded nothing but ordinary trust, and were willing to give ordinary security. The CHAIRMAN reminded the Court that the only question before them was whether or not they would enter the memorial on their minutes. Mr. PERKINS moved, as an amendment, that the memorial be laid upon the table, and denied that the power of the Corporation had been used for the pur pose of putting down the old company. Mr. HARRISON observed it had been insinuated that the new company never had intended to lay down pipes, or to go to any expense whatever, and that they merely got up this agitation for the purpose of reducing the prices of the old company. He begged to say that there was not the least founda tion for any such statement—contracts had been en. tered into by the new company for the execution of all its works—they did mean to proceed with those works, and there was every reason to believe that they would be executed much more cheaply than was at first anticipated. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE wished the Court to bear in mind that the new company could not lay down their pipes as they had at first proposed to do, namely, during the night. Mr. Haeutsors asserted that they could do so. The motion for entering the memorial on the minutes was then put and agreed to. Mr. TYRRELL (the solicitor to the Court) then rose for the purpose of calling their attention to the draught of deed which they were about to enter into wish the new company. According to the covenant of the proposed deed, all the mains and pipes were in the first instance to be laid down during the night, and, if an Act of Parliament were to be obtained on the subject, it was quite clear that the more material parts of the deed must be introduced as clauses in the Act, especially those provisions which had refer ence to the paying up of capital. The Secretary was then called upon to read the resolutions on which the draught of the deed was founded. M.. *rAYLOR said, that from the arrangements there provided, it was evi lent that the mains and the pipes were all to be laid down at night, and the pavements closed during the daytime. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE considered that the question was as to the additional works ; the original laying down of the mains was provided for. Mr. HARRISON contended that it would be impos sible for them to prevent the carrying on of addi tional works during the day, for how otherwise could they meet the ill effects of accidental occurrences ? Stopping the escapes of gas could not be delayed till nigh'. Mr. HARDWICKE, the solicitor to the new company, stated that the first laying down would in all cases take place at night. Mr. ELLIOTT cautioned the Court not to let them selves be entrapped into an expensive bargain ; and he likewise recommended them to take care how they allowed the streets to be opened at all times, a dangei to which, by the arrangements with the new company, they were very likely to be exposed. Mr. TYRRELL, referring to the draught of the deed, tcok notice that the words were such as would bind the company not to lay any original mains or pipes except during the hours of the night. Mr. HARRISON was quite ready to state that the original laying of the mains was to take place at night ; what he of to was confining the com pany to the hours of night whenever they might have occasion to put down substituted mains. The whole question was one as to the construction of their origi nal resolution. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY thought that they ought not to encourage a third rival company. Mr. Ilannisoe moved a resolution to the effect, that the original laying down of mains now and in future should take place at night, which having been seconded by several commissioners, Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE said that such a propo sition went to alter the substance of the original re solution, and that there ought to be notice of such a motion. The CHAIRMAN considered that it was merely putting a certain interpretation on their resolutions. The motion was then put and agreed to. Mr. TYRRELL desired to know whether or not it was the wish of the. Court to bind the new company to use their best endeavours to secure the passing of a 13111 that should contain clauses embodying the covenants of the deed, but it seemed the opinion of many commissioners present that they had better wait till the Bill came before the House of Commons. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY was anxious that the Court should not do anything that could make them appear to be partizans of either company. If the new com pany did not render those covenants the main feature of their Bill, then the Court ought to oppose that Bill. Mr. PEWTRESS did not doubt that the company would use their best endeavours to introduce clauses in the Bill carrying out the covenants contained in the draught of deed. of the Court L rn Mr. TAYLOR y was statement oppose d to on thpel'i s c u in b g je o e n the records t.itmight be understood that the company were to use their best endeavour s f or the proper fr.iMing of their Bill in Parliament. It was then agreed that Mr. Tyrrell was to act upon this suggestion. In . reply to questions p u t b y mem b ers of the Court, Mr. HARDWICKE, the solicitor for the company, stated that Wore they proceeded with any works in the City there would be 75,000/. of their cepital paid up—thus making property to that mount responsible for the fulfilmey.t of their covenants with tho Court. This was the oiler which they made. Ms. Alderman LAWRENCE said that capital might be expended at Bow or at St. Pancras ; but it would be no security to the city. Further, the contractors might constitute the main body of the shareholder. It would, he thought, be a much better guarantee if 10,0001., 15,0001., or 20,000/ were paid into the Bank of England. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY observed, that their soli citor wanted to know whether the capital of the new company was to be 150,000/. or 250,000/. There mere, it was stated, 25,000 shares of 101, and only 13,0001. had yet been taken, the contractors them selves being large holders. Mr. PEWTRESS stated, that if the company pro ceeded as th ey h a d reason to expect, they would en large their capital from 150,0001. to 250,0001., and be enabl e d t o g i ve gas, first for 45., and then for 39. the 1,000 cubic feet. ITALY. The Cattolico of Genoa, of the 231 instant, an nounces that all the members of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem had been invited to meet at R )me in February next. They are to attend in person, or to be represented by delegates, furnished with regular powers. The French members of the order are 11 in number. The province of Romagna continued to be infested with robbers. During the night of the 17th a band of about 100 ruffians, dressed as military men, and armed with tOwling-pieces, en- tered the village of Colignole, near Faenza, plundered ten of the best houe.3, carried away the public chest, and carried off several inhabitants, for whom they claimed a ransom. Three or four others, who attempted to resist, were, more or less, dangerously wounded. THE BRITISH MEDITERRANEAN FLEET. A letter from Tri.-ste, of the 21s!', in the Augs urg Gazette, states that the English fleet arrived at the Piraeus on the 15th, from the mouth of the Dardanelles, and was to proceed to Milts. The French fleet was still off Smyrna. - - MARLBRO--.6TREET—(THIS DAY-) ASSAULT AT THE QUEEN'S THE ITRE.—Duniel Bow ditch wza pißcid before Mr. Bingham, charged with as lulting Thomas Da'ey, one of the check-taliers, at tl.e (2P - ens Theatre, Tottenham-straA, To;tinhaaa court road.

Mr. Sere cant Weartins (in continua tion f om oar After noon Edition of yesterday) said—Wi h regLrl t) the I charge that Barber called Wessel rae agent for the insuraace company when he was no longer se, it was true that he had not done anything for the comaany, bi..t he still re tained the insignia of ( ffice, as he migt t call theta— the books and pap, rs, rind he Lever had resigned the office of agent. 'ibis very Stiddolph, after Mr. Barber's return to London Loin transportation, called upon him to proffer him his warmest sympathy, and if he again got into practice, to promise his be.A euppora It must be borne iu mind tt at throughout all the affil which had been male to contradict Mr. rarber's tta'etaeut, they had never given a whole letter, but only certain excerpta of lette: s, such as suited their own purposes; and it must also be borne in mind that Mr. Barber had to answer these affidatits entirely from me uory, and without any books or papers to help him, at a distance of 12 years, f of which Lad been spent in acute mental agony. if they were to believe Mr. Stiddolph, after he had suspected teat Barber had been appropriating the premiums all communication ceased between them; this was untrue, fir it appeared that f, om December, 1841, to Apia 1842, the two were in const.nt cesnmunic:a On, both persona' ly and by letter, relating to the sale of an entity, and yet Mr. Stiddolph swears that to the best of Lis knowledge from March, 1841, he never had any cone municezion with hire. With respect to the pamphlet which had been mentioned, it was Mr. Barber's proper course to take to set his case before the community— Sir F. THLSIGER said that he must certainly jute upt his Learned Friend ; he had had sufficient latitude already. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—Not an inch of latitude. Sir F. THESIGER—WeII, longitude; thee. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—My Learned Friends have certainly the advantage of me there. Well, then, with regard to Stiddolph, it seems to nee that when he swears that he paid Barber tan 5/., it could not have been a simple mistake; the Learned. Master did not be lieve him. Was it a deficiency of memory when he swore that he had eio correspondence with Barber after 1: arch, 1841? Which of the two men would a dispassion ate men believe ? He had now gone through the whole ease, and it only remained f,r him to show the Court whist they Lai a right to demand—how Mr. Bar ber had conducted hiniselt during his absence from this country. (The Learned Sergeant was about to reed some extracts from the pamphlet published by Mr. Bat ber, when hen was interrupted by Mr. Justice PaarTEsotalwho icquircd whether what his Learned Friend was about to read were affidavits? Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—NO, my Lore', they are cer tificates from persons of high respectability, who had means of observing Mr. Barber's conduct abroad. Mr. JUitiCO.PAITESON said—lt was quite contrary to the practice of this Court to receive certificates. If the Learned Gentleman wished it, he was quite at liberty to stet! that Mr. Barber, during his absence, had con ducted himself well and orderly. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS aid there were we terms indeed. He prayed the Court to receive these documents, as he thought that if it refused them their Lordships would not have sufficient information to guide them in forming their judgment. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that it v. as certainly quite contrary to the practice of the Court. These were persons at a long distance, and as there w e re on ly certificates they could not be received by the Court. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said that he should not at• tempt to dispute the ruling of the Court; and he could only repeat what be had before said, that he was only restrained from protesting against all this inquiry, from a desire that Mr. Barber's conduct should be fully in vestigated. Ile also wished to observe that all the alle gations were out of their Lordship.' jurisdiction —that the allegations had all cf them been sufficiently met - 0 disprove them. These were the whole of the reel:talks which he had to offer. The Learned Sergeant thea sat down having spoko to-day mote than three hours. Sir F. THESIGER commenced by remarking, that, as his Learned Friend Sergeant Wilkins had taken up so much time in his address, he must endeavour to com press his remarks in as small a space as possible. Ile extremely regretted that his Learned Friend had so iden tified himself with-the present case, as it rendered it extremely difficult for him to meet his Learned Friend upon the ground which he had selected. In the first place, he must repudiate the charge which had been thrown out by his Learned Friend against the Master, and he deplore I that his Learned Friend should have indulged in the remarks which he had done against the pu rity and integrity of the judgmeet t) which he had come. His Learned Friend had taken very bold ground indeed when he sail that Mr. Barber had a right to plead his pardon in fie ing him entirely from all charges. He did not at a'l wish to destroy the proper impression which the pardon ought t ) have upon their minds, pro vided that his Lead - el Friend did not push it so far as to plead that it extended so tar as t i entitle him tlc4;ro his certificate as a man who had never been guilty of any crirnes. They now came to consider the charges which had been brought against Mr. Barber, in all of which, though he was said to be an innocent and deceived man, he must be lardoned if he thought that he was some.- thing more. In defending himself Mr. Barber had an advantage, which had been taken to tae full by his counsel, namely, that the whole materia's for his answers were drawn from his can affidavits. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to review at length the different will firgeries with which Mr. Barb:er was charged with having guilty knowledge. Ile contended that it was almost impossible for a man who, like Mr. Barber, had been described as " a man of cau tion, curious, and investigating," not tO have some know ledge at many stages that fraud was intended ; in par ticnar, the handwriting t f the three forged wills were precisely the same, and that might have excited any man's suspicion. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS here observed that Sir F. Thesiger was travelling out of the line of tie Master's report. The Master explained tl a: the simi'arity of the hand had excited . his a, Ltetioa, but he Lad not matte it the sujeet of comment in his report. Sir F. THESIGER then proceeded to comment upon the ease of Robins' executor. He contended that in this ease Mr. Barber had lent himself to the conceal ment c f Fletcher's name, and he could net have done so had he not believed that it was a discreditable transac tior. Mr. Barber most certainly have been aware that this could base been the only reason for concealment. Then, again, to insert Mr. Turrall's name in an agree ment of such a nature was, to say the least of it, discreditable to any professional man. With all this fresh in his mind, Hunt was introduced to Mr. Barber, who without further inquiry takes it in hand. In this case, as well as in Stuart's, 154 as payrnert for legacy duty is charged by Mr. Barber in his bill, which legacy duty bad never been paid. Mr. Barber mu: t either have considered that it was not likely he should ever be pressed as to the non-payment of tf e legacy duty by the persons who were joined with him in the fraud, or be must still Faye shut his eyes and considered this an honest hansattion. Ile could not clear himself from the imputation of misap propriating his elint's money, and as such he was un worthy of having his certificate issued to him t ) practise as an att )rney. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded at some length to investigate the case of Slack, from which he interred that to suppose Barter !al lel:eyed the entire genuineness cf Fletcher's information was to suppose that he was neither more nor less than wilfully blind, and had lent himself a vviliing instrument in Fletcher's hands. At this time he could no longer have been ignorant—his eyes must have been open, and if be tai been a fair, oleo, honest do a'- ing man, he would not tare proceeded any further it, such transaction without inquiry. He thought the Court would see Low with the light which had been thrown upon the transaction, thrt the verdict which had been solemnly delivered was a just and a right en e, and he thought that it was quite impossible for his Learned Friend to prove to the Court that his client was entitled to a certificate of practice unless he could prove that this verdict was an erroneousone. These were all the observa tions which he hal to offer upon the forgery part of the case. The COURT here observed that as the case could not be terminated that day it would be advisable for Sir F. Thesiger to break off here. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS appealed to the Court to grant a day I.f:er term to hewing the remainder of the. arguments. Mr. Ju , tice PATTESON observed that this would be impassible, he thought. It being now just five o'clock, it was agreed that if Sir F. Thesiger could arrange to continue his argument on the malpractice case , , the Court would si., by consent, on t7.-o days cut cf term; viz ,on Ste ISlh oil 10:h (f F. lomy, when theju eataight,t f cetielirded.

MATTHEW, BETlifi.kL - GREEN. Han- The was an appeal 133 r the firm of Trum an , bury, Buxton, and Co., the eminent brewers in Brick. lane, Spitalfields, against a rate which had been as sessed upon that portion of their premises which was in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green. Mr. Clarkson with Mr. Pashley conducted the case for the appellants, and Mr. Prendergast with Mr. Bodkin appeared for the parish in support of the rate. The inquiry occupied several hours, but the follow ing outline o f th e ca se will put our readers in posses sion of its leading points: — It would seem that there has been somewhat re cently a new valuation and assessment made through out the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, with a view to an equalisation ef the rating. Teis operation was accomplished by Mr. John Paine, the architect and surveyor, who has for some years been especially engaged in re-I,sessing parishes under tl)2 Poor- Istiv Act. The result of this re-17,siess meat, in .tk.. far 23 1!; Ltreetc,i the preent. S •p lianas, was that their assessment was raised from 1,1501. to 1,7501. in this particular parish, for the very sua ill portion of th e ir p rem ises which is within its limits, as compared with that portion that wa s in the p ari s h adjoining. The nppellants, in common with many other of the parishioners whose assessment had been materially increased, not haviag paid that rate, suffered themselves to he summoned before a magistrate fer the purpose of showing came why the rate had not been duly pad Upon that occasion the matter was fully entered upon, and the result was that the magis trate reduced the rateable value to 1,6001. Against that decision the appellants gave notice of appeal to the sessioas, an d th e case n ow came on for hearing by special appointm en t. In the course o f t h e i nves tigation it ssas proved on the part of th e appe ll an t s by Mr. Hammack, Mr. Tile, Mr. tlig g in ! , and Mr. Norton, all well-known architee's and surveyors, that the ground upon which the appellants' premises stood, which was in the parish in question, was - about 1 acre and 3 roods. The pre mises- were on the east side of Brick -lane, and were appropriated principally to the purposes of stabling for the cooperage, cleansing-house, and standing for carts and casks, whilst underneath the stables was a " vat-house." The stables, which were admitted to have been most expensively built, afforded accormno dation for 108 or 112 horses, with a certain number of loose boxes. The main question in the case, how ever, was whether the " vats " used in a brewer's storehouse are fit o f for a separate valuation, with a view to being rated. It ha? already been stated that under the new assessment these premises s ere rated at 1,7501., and that previously that rating had been made at 1,1501., and the witnesses who were now called gave it as their opinion that, taking the two extremes, the real and fair rateable value was between 1,0701. and 1,200/. 01 the part of the respondents the principal wit ness was rsir. Paine, who at considerable length entered into an . explanation of the grounds, or principle rather, upon which he had made his valuation of the vai ions properties in the different parishe., with a view to their equalisation. In this particular parish he had made 15,000 assessments, and the only appeals which had come to the sessions against his rating were the present one and another by the alstern Counties Railway Company. The witness adhered to his assessment as a fair one, and con:eniled th,t " vats," especially where fixed, as they were in this brewery, were proper objects for assessment, inde pendent of the premises. He went through every item, and accompanied each with his reasons for so assessing them. The estimate he had made for the expense cf erecting the stables was 16,000/. Mr. CLARKSON was understood to say, that the cost of the erection of these stables had been under 10,0001. The Learned JuDGEeventually said that in certain respects the Court considered that the principle upon which Mr. Paine had made his assessment was founded in error. Most undoubtedly that gentleman had undergone an extremely laborious duty. Whilst, however, it appeared to the Court that .the assessment appealed against was upon this ground too large, the Court were at the same time of opinion that there must be an addition made, not only to the former rate able value, but even to the highest amount at which the respectable witnesses who had been called on the part of the appellants had placed the value. If there fore the Court were to fix the rateable value at 1,3001, he did not think that they would be very far fi om the fair and equitable mark. At the sum of 1,3001., therefore, as the rateable value, he should order the assessment to be fixed. The appeal was therefore allowed, so far as to re duce the rating from 1,600/. to 1,3001. per annum. Mr. BODKIN wished to ask what the Learned Judge said as to the liability of the" vats" to be assessed ? The Learned JUDGE replied that he said nothing about the " vats," nor was he disposed to grant a case upon the point. The rateable value was accordingly fixed at 1,3001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. After the list of prisoners was disposed of on Mon dey, Mr. Liscombe, of Park-place-terrace, Padding ton, a gentleman officially connnected with the Great Western Railway Company, applied to the Alderman for a summons against Mr. Burchett, a goldsmith in Cheapside, whom he charged with having sold a S wiss watch which went badly fur a " Barwise " watch. The ALDERMAN, instead of sending a summons to Mr. Burchett, courteously sent a message to request that the defendant would attend and give an explana tion of the transaction. The Mansion-house messen ger, however, returned with an account of an inter view with Mr. Burchett's servant not at all satisfac tory or respectful, and the consequence was the im mediate service of a peremptory order to appear to answer a serious complaint. Me. Liscombe said, on the 24th of July last I went into the defendant's shop and purchased this watch which I hold in my hand of him for 191., believing it, upon his representation and the inscription inside, to be one of Mr. Barwise's manufacture. It never went well since I purchased it, ar_d being astonished at such a fact, I took it to the house in St. Martin's lane, where I was told by Mr. Barwise's successor that it was never made by Mr. Barwise, but that it was a. Swiss watch, and by no means to be compared to an English watch of the price that was given for it. I accordingly called upon the defendant and re presented to him the result of my inquiry, and he then offered to let me have an English-made watch, hut said that I must pay 71. more far it. As I con sidered, however, that the - dealing I had already had with the defendant was not such as to increase my confidence in him, I declined the proposition, and was advised to come here to make this representation. Toe ALDERMAN examined the watch, and said it was quite clear that the watch was a Swiss watch. ' It is not like an English watch, and the name of Mr. Barwise, as maker, has no doubt been adopted to snake it pass fur a more valuable article than it is. Mc. Liscombe said, he was given to understand that it was not worth 101. Mr. Burchett said, he had purchased the watch of a dealer who had assured him that it was of Mr. Barwise's manufacture, and he believed that such was the case. The ALDERMAN—You must know, if you under stand the business, that these are not the " Hall marks." There is nothing in the watch to show it is English at all. Mr. Burchett—l assure you that I bought it as a Barwise ;" but I am willing to be guided by your opinion in the matter, and will readily give in ex change fur it a genuine English watch. The ALDERMAN—WeII, I think it would be more agreeable to the complainant to receive his money back, and if that be returned there is an end to the matter. Mr. Liscombe—lcertainly would prefer the money to another experiment. Mr. Burchett—l only wish that the magistrate would decide between us, and I am prepared to pay back the 191. this instant. The ALDERMAN—Very well ; let that be done. Tne money was then paid back to Mr. Liscombe, and the watch was returned to Mr. Burchett, and both parties left the justice-room. MARYLEBONE. Mr. James Gammage, master of a National School in Tichbourne- road, Paddington, at the head of which is the Rev. Mr. Boone, was charged on a war rant with having committed an assault of a very serious nature upon William Taylor, a delicate-look ing boy, 10 years of age, living with his parents at 10, Market-street, Paddington. Complainant, after replying satisfactorily to ques tions put to him as to the nature and obligation of an oath, deposed that on Wednesday last he was standing on a form to write his lesson upon a slate, when the boy next to him asked him a question which caused him to laugh. Defendant then came up to and punished him. Mr. BROUGHTON—What did he do to you ? Com plainant—He gave me at that time three hard cuts with his cane on my left side. I got down from the firm, and told him that I would bring my mother up to-morrow to see me righted. He then seized hold of me and pulled me over the form, and struck me as heard as he could with a thick cane. Mr. BRouGHToN—How many times, to the best of your belief, did he strike you ? Complainant—About 20 times, Sir. I cried out as loudly as I could, for I was in much pain. He told me he did not allow boys to be impudent to him, and he then let me go home. As soon as I arrived there I mentioned to my mother the ill treatment which I had received. Rebecca Taylor (the mother) said that on stripping her boy and examining him, she found large weals, from which blood was starting , upo n his shoulders and side. There was also blood upon his shirt. 'tier husband upon coming home saw the boy's back and side, and said that a soldier had never been served worse. Harriet Milton corroborated the mother's evidence with regard to the cruel beating which the boy had received. Croswell, one of the warrant officers of this court, also deposed to his having observed the marks upon complainant when application at the court was first made. Whipp, another officer of the court, said that when he served the warrant defendant told him that the boy was unruly; he had therefore struck him, but not in such a way as to injure him. Defendant, on being called upon for his? answer to the charge, alleged that complainant had conducted himself upon many occasions improperly, but more particularly on Tuesday last, when, during a lecture which was given in the schoolroom upon astronomy, the complainant blackened his face with ink and set the rest of the bays laughing; for this he set him a lessor, and on the next morning he was extremely insolent and laughed in his face; he th en gave him -a stroke across his shoulder, when the boy said he would bring his father up. Defendant then gave him the beating complained of, but it was not an out-of-the way correction at all. Two witnesses were called for the defendant. The first was William Dawson, a teacher at the school, who spoke as to the complainant being a saucy boy ; but he was not present at the time of the assault complained of. Thomas . Bryan, 15 y ears o ld , w h o sa id h e was a pupil teacner at the school, deposed to the comphin ant's disorderly behaviour at the astronomical lecture. Mr. Baotreirron—Were you present on Wednes day when the assault took place ? Witness—l was', Sir. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you see complainant pu nished ? Witness—Yes ; he was flogged two or three times with the cane because he had not learnt his lesson and was impudent. Mr. BROUGHTON—How large was the cane with which he was " flogged" as you call it ? Witness— Perhaps as thick as my finger. Mr. 13AouGnToN—Ho - w many times did your mas ter give the blows ? Witness—A dozen or so—not more. Mr. BnouGuToN—HoW aro the pupils usually corrected ? Witness—Trey generally have a cut act 0, , s the hand, but when they are flogged " down right" they are laid across the form and Mr. G-am mage holds them down., Mr. BizoriouToiv---45id you consider the flogging of the complainant to be a "downright" one? Wit ness—l should say so; but I have seen other boys flogged worsa. Mr. BUOUGHTON—If after a flogging you were to see marks upon a boy's back, and blood upon his shirt, what would be your opinion about the correc tion be had received ? Witness I should say that he had had a "good" flogging. Other evidence, descriptiv_9 of the bruises and cuts upon the youthful complainant, wa3 given. Mr. BROUGIITON, after making many well-timed rernatks upon the undue severity which had been ex ercised towards the boy, desired Whipp, the officer, to call upon the Itcv. Mr. Boone and request his at tendance at the court,.in order that he, as the heacl of the corntnittee f the National Schub), might be ftdly acquainted with all that had transpired in rtf(rence to the case. TVORSIIIP-';'TREET. An elderly man. named William White, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hai:mill, charged with baying been concerned, with others not in custody, wits bretking into the premises of Mr. Archibald Reid, a gunmaker in Peerless-place, City-road, and stealing a large number of guns and pistole. It was intimated by Vic officer that if the prisoner were remanded lie should be in possession of evidence conclusively proving the prisoner's implicAtion in other transactions, and the prisoner, who made no de fence, was therefore ordered to be brought up in a week, for the formal completion of the charge, the magistrate directing the depositions in the present case to be taken against him by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk. CLERKEIV WELL. Charles Thompson, alias Charles Thomas, alias Charles Williams, alias Charles Robinson, alias Chris topher Barber, and Mary Thompson, alias Amelia Thomas, alias Amelia Parish, were again placed at the bar before Mr. C3ombe, charged by Mr. Charles John Cox; of 10 e South -hack, S•. John's-wood, Marylebonr, with having been concerned in a daring and extensive robbery in his dwelling-hou'se. Mr. COMBE told the prisoners that he should com mit them to take their trial at the Old Bailey, and, after the usual caution, asked if they wished to say thing in their defence ? Tn - ey treated the matter with levity and reserved their defence. They,were conveyed to Newgate in the course of the day. THAMR S. The appearance of James C. Duncan, the Chartist poet and orator at this court, on Friday, for wilfully and maliciously destroying property to the amount of 201. and upwards in Sion Chapel, Whitechapel, brought together a grt at number of persons anxious to see the " poet" and to hear the investigation. The prisoner is a man of about 30 years - of age, with an immense quantity of hair on his head and a large beard and moustache. To add to the singularity of his appearance he wore a heavy greatcoat torn in several places. On being placed in the felons' dock he folded his arms and put himself in an attitude of defiance. M-. William Lowe said, that a meeting, at which nearly 6,000 persons were present, was held in Sion Chapel, Whitechapel, on Monday evening, for the promotion of Parliamentary and financial reform. Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P.; Mr. George Thompson, M.P.; Mr. W. Williams, late Member for Coventry, and the leading Reformers of the Tower Hamlets, were present. The defendant wits there and made a great disturbance, and acted more like a madman than anything else. Mr. YARDLEY —I suppose he resisted being turned out ? Mr. Lowe—He did, Sir ; his object was to create a riot Mr. YARDLEY saiii, if the prisoner went to the meeting for the purpose of creating discord and dis turbing the harmony of the proceedings, the persons in authority had a perfect right to eject him. He was a trespasser no doubt, and he was liable to be sued for the damage in the county court if it is und€r 201., and at one of the courts at Westminster if the damage is above that sum. If I was satisfied he did the mischief either designedly or wilfully I would punish him, but I don't think I can treat this as a wilful destruction of property, and he must be discharged. The Magistrate then addressed the prisoner, and said he knew him bt fore, a n d wou ld s t rong ly advise him not to misconduct himself again. ....... • - -7.,...-.....i...../...-- ------ e , t previous salea.

CAMERON'S COALBROOK S AM COAL AND SWANSEA AND LOUGHOR. A general meeting of the proprietors cf this com. patty took place yesterday, at the company's offices, Moorgate -street ; Mr. B. G. Winthrop in the chair. Mr. ELDERTON, the solicitor, in the absence of the secretary, read the advertisement convening the meeting, and said that they had met that day for the sole purpose of receiving the report cf the directors relative to the formation of a line from Swansea to Loughor. The CHAIRMAN then read the report, which stated that the directors cf this company had to remind the shareholders that the present meeting was altogether of a formal character, and was convened in pursuance of the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The share holders were aware that after two successive meet ings they had empowered the directors to construct a branch line connecting the company's colliery with the port and docks of Llanelly, and the directors were taking the most active steps to carry for ward their instructions. With regard to the main line to Swansea, the directors were still strongly impressed with the advantages that NN ould accrue to the company from the construction of such a line when the same should be made. A 3 a property it would be greatly enhanced by the circumstance cf the harbour at Swansea being almost ready to be im mediately floated, thereby making the company's wharf and railway much more valuable, and also from the fact that the docks at Swansea (which had been greatly promoted by this company) ap pearing now to offer a reasonable prospect of being completed. After some conversation the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the business of the day. LONDON AND GREENWICH. The annual meeting of the proprietors in the company took place yesterday, at the company's offices, Coleman-street ; Williatn Shadbolt, Eq., in the chair. Mr. ADION, the secretary, read the financial statement, from which it appbared that the receipts had been 20,2231. 123. 7d., and the disbursements 11,9841. 18s. Bd., leaving a balance available for divi dend of 8,2381. 13s. 11d. Resolutions were then passed for the printing and circulation of the accounts, and for the payment of a dividend of 3s. 9d. on the unprivileged or old shares. Mr. Thomas Corney and Mr. Shadbolt were then re-elected directors. The CHAIRMAN said he had much regret in an nouncing that since they had last met they bad been deprived of their old and esteemed friend Mr. Mau bert ; and the board had recommended in his place Mr. William Hitchens ; but just as that gentleman was coming amongst them he also died suddenly, which must be a matter of the deepest regret to them. The gentleman now proposed by the directors to fill the vacancy was Mr. J. Filcher, who was a very large shareholder. Mr. Pitcher was accordingly elected director. Some conversation then ensued on the point of re ducing the interest on the bonds, which the Chairman assured the meeting had never been lost sight of by the director,. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors the meeting separated. STATE OF TRADE (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, JAN. 29. We have had a quiet day in every department of busi ness; the transactions have been on a smaller scale than even those of last Tuesday ; and the ex treme quotations to which the prevalent excitement then gave rise, are, therefore, no longer insisted upon by the producers of yarns and goods. Except, however, as regards those merely nominal terms, there is no giving way on the part of spinners and manufac turers. Less than the attainable prices of the week before last are out of the question ; and, indeed, for many things, they would not be accepted. Yet there is a pause in the market. The supplies to India, South America, and Mexico have been so ample, in some cases so excessive, that, on comparing attainable prices with present cost, the merchants find little inducement to make further shipments to any of those quarters, but abundant reason to abstain from doing so to some of them. At this season, the Germans are of course in active ; and, no doubt, the non-arrival of the foreign mails has prevented some business, not only from them, but from other continental buyers also. There is, however, a general conviction among the buying class that matters are precisely in that state of uncertainty which renders it necessary fir all parties to proceed with caution in their operations. Sellers are, however, sustained by the general lightness of stocks, together with the orders still in hand for many articles ; and the spinners are expecting that, when the continental demand sets in, the abandonment of that branch of production will be found so Extensive as to occasion a deficient supply, with a consequent rise of prices. ROCI;DALF, MONDAY.—We have had a fair quan tity of business doing to-day in the flannel market, at prices much the same as those of the preceding Mon day. There is little variation in wool, either in de mand or price. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no relaxation here on the part of manufacturers in the prepa ration of goods for the spring season ; almost all old stocks being cleared off, there will doubtless be a great variety of new styles displayed in the works now in progress, amongst which we understand figured fabrics will be prominent. There has been fair business transacted in thrown silks since our last ; the mills are, without exception, working full time. The raw silk market is buoyant, with a good busi ness doing. HUDDERSFIELD, rr UESDA—EarIy this morning all goods were cleared out of the Cloth Hall that were adapted for the ishipping trade. In middling and superflnesEnot much is doing ; but stocks were never known to be so low at this season. SATURDAY.—We cannot report any no ticeable difference in the condition of the worsted trade. There is a fair inquiry for most descriptions of goods, but without any material improvement in prices. The demand for yams is still very active, and the prices of some of the counts most in request continue to look upwards. There is not much ani mation in the wool market, and the quotations remain stationary. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There bas been a fair market to-day, and on Saturday last a very large business was done, but the manufacturers still complain that the merchants will not give au advance in price equivalent to the advance in the raw material. Business, both home and foreign, is good in the ware houses. PENNY BANKS.—It is rather remarkable that in the metropolis, where there are so many associations f the promotion of every good and laudable object, there has never yet been established an institution fir the safe daily deposit of sums so low as one penny, ref ay able upon demand. For this purpose an institution is about t be brought into active operation in White chapel, under the title of " The London Penny Bank," under the management of Mr. James M. Scot::, a gentle man who has successfully organized two institutions on the same general principles at Greenock and Hull; and one important feature we consider to be the fact that this hank will be entirely self-supporeng. Persons of a'l ages, both sexes, and every clasg, may be depositors; and each re:son m9y deposit any sam not ICES than one penny or sun: e than five et,-ry day. repayable upon detraal. Ali thed:po,its I.:e to tes reruidannually, with a small additional gnat, such as sixpence foe e. - cry twenty shillings lodged in not less than thirty weekly payments, and one shilling for the same sums lodged in not less thau'fifcy weekly payments. The expenses are provided for from small charges to the depositors, which are state f in the rules, with the addition of intareet re ceived from the deposits invested. The funds are to be lodged at interest in the London and Westminster Bank, or invested in Exchequer-hills, to be lodged in the Bank of England in the names of the trustees. The Bank will be open f)r business on Wednesday, the 30th of January, in Whitechapel. It is intenthd to form district asks in any part of London on the receipt of any well-suppot tad requisition from pat ties resident in any locality who are really interest 'd in such means of /meliorating the condition of mankind.— The Reporter. Dispatches from the Governor of Gibraltar were re ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office. A POLITICAL RELIC.—We have seen a curious copper medal which was recently found in the railway cutting at Tackley. It is rather larger than a half crowr, but thinner ; end is a caricature of events which occurred more than a century since. A con siderable portion of the edge is corroded and decayed, so that the whole of the legend is not visible. On one side is a gentleman in the dress c f :he t' me f George I. or 11., and w:th him a certain " cl.l gentleman," whose immediate donate id not ructtiont.,ble to "ears rcl.te;" the lamer, pitchfork in hand, is leading the former by a halter e hich is round his nee's; and the inscription "I am come for Sir Robert." At the foot are the remains of the word " Excise." The caricature, no doub*, refers to Sir Robert WalpAr, who was Prime 111;nister in the reign of George 11., and whe, about 1743, introduced the Gast really etiective Ex cise laws. On the revt rse of the med.l are the figures of Sir Robert Walpole and Admiral Winer, political opponents, ith a ship in the distance:, and a smiended crown above. This probably has ri f.n.e nee to the taking of Porto Bello. The Admiral, jeerirg Sir Robert, said he could take the place with six ships. Sir Robert took him at his word, and dispatched him with that numuer, and with very few troops, we think less than 300. The gallant Admiral kept his word, and reduced the place. The legend on this side is not to be deciphered, except- Guardian. i n g i3 t ii h i e s T w o o i r . V s. CC 2 I 9 IO . —Wind — Viu ß d un N in . tr E Y .—Arrd. Rival, Cor diner, Mauritius. ~-~' ~
