The re-establishment of tranquillity has (says the Patrie) led to such a decided increase of occupation for the working-classes of Paris, that they are deter mined to vote for the person who has been the cause of this fortunate change. The syndics of the bakers have gone to the Prefect of Police, and, after declar d - ing that already the b'king trade has felt a ma de cked advantage from the revival of business, requested him to express theirgauitude to the President of the Re- Re public, and to say that all their workmen were de termined to vote for him.

The enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds, and every species of decoration was called into existence to testify the respect which the people of the commercial metropolis cf the "far west" en tertsin for thd Magyar chief. Tne affiir is thus brick. , detailed in one of the papers now Tr CE :,- " The whole city was astir at an early hour with preparwiuns for the grand reception. The stre.ts and public buildit , gs were adorned with figs and mottoes, and tr3rivirenci, triumphal arches, and other devices, and the tr,;oiA were out in very Lirge numb , ! , rr, some 5,000 strong., to form an escort. The Committee of Arrangements of the City Corporation, with some 500 or 600 invited guests, went down in the Valderbilt to Staten Island, to escort Kossuth to the city. Sion after ten, the Hungarians were re ceived on board the steamer, which was suitably adorned with flags, furnished with a h3nd of music a n d a cannon, from which a constent firing was lope up as the Vanderbilt neared the city. Salutes were fired from Governor's Island, from the Navy-yard, and elsewhere, and the yards of the North Carolina and Sc. Lawrence were manned. " On reaching Castle Garden the Vanderbilt unfor tunately got aground, occasioning considerable delay and confusion ; and the Hungarians did not reach Castle Garden until about one o'clock, and then amidst a scene of great confu-ion. With much ado Kossuth was got upon the platform, and the Mayor commenced addressing him, but nobody could hear a word. Kossuth began to reply amidst the same con fusion, but soon gave up the atrempt, promising to write out his speech for the newspapers. A tele graphic report of this has been forwarded to the morn ing papers, from which we make some extracts to show its general tone : " Citizens,—Much as I cm wanting some hours of rest ; much as I have need to become familiar with the ground I will have to stand upon, before I enter on business matters publicly, I tot k it for a du'y of honour not to let escaps even this first moment of your gen , L-rons welcome without stating plainly and openly to you what sort of man I am, and what are the expt , cation. and the hopes, and what are the mo tives w Lich brought in. 3 now to your glori• ous shores. Gentlemen, I liae to think the peo pl e , Congress, and Government of the United S ottes far my liberation from cap tivity. Huaaan tongue has no words to express the bliss which I felt when I, the down -trodden Hunga rian wandering chief, saw the glorious flag o f t h e stripes and stars floating over my head ; when I first bowed before it with deep respect ; when I saw around me the gallant officers and the crew of the Mississippi frigate—the most of them the worthiest representatives of true American principle, American greatness, American generosity—and to think that it was not a mere chance which cast the star-spangled banner around me, but that it was protecting will — to know th at the United States of America, con scious of t h eir glorious calling, as well as of their power, "elating by this unparalleled act to be re solved to become the protectors of human rights. Others spoke, you acted ; and at this act of yours tyr a nts trembled, h umanity shouted out with joy. I would have thanked you by facts contributing to the freedom of the European continent, and would have postponed my visit to your glorious shores till the decisive battle for liberty waa f oug a. , nt if it were my destiny to outlive that d iy. Then, what is the being here at this ver y ; mo tive of my tits ? The mo tive, citizens, is that your generous of act m libera tion has raised the conviction y throughout the world that this generous act of yours is but the mani festation of your resolution throw .your weight into the balance in which the fate of the E uropean continent is to be weighed. , ou have raised th e conviction throughout the world that by myli nationsher lion you were willing to ,ay —• Ye opprtnit,a of old Europe's coutineur, be of good cheer. Toer a young giant of America stretches its powerful tr over the waves, ready to give a brother's h And to y ouil. future.' Now, gentlemen, I have stated my pesicion. lam a straightforward man. 1 am a r•-publican. I have avowe d i; optbly in ti-,e monarchical but free England, and I am hippy to state that I have nothing lost by this avovval there. I hope I will not lon e here in republican America by that frankness which must he one of the chief qualities of every republican. So I beg leav,, frankly and openly to state the following points :—First, that I take it to be the duty of honour and principle not to meddle with any party question whatever of your own domestic affairs. Secondly, I profess highly and openly my admiration for the glorious principle of union, on which stands the mighty pyramid of your and upon greatness, the basis on which you have grown, the short ort apa ce o f seventy-five years, to a the living wonder of the world. sect your laws, but within I will use every honest operative sympathy, and , e d political aid for my Thirdly, I b eg my aim is to restore my joywent.of that act of de xhich being the only right my n ation, can have lost by the violent invasion o f which therefore is fully iy the people of the United THE SUN, States, whose very existence is founded upon a similar declaration of independence. Thus having expounded my aim, I beg leave to state that I came not to your glorious shores to enjoy rest, 1 came not with the in tention to gather triumphs of personal distinction, or to be the object of popular sho ws, but I came a humble petitioner in my country's name, as its freely chosen constitutional chief. What can be opposed to this recognition, which is a logical nece3sary conse quence of the principle of your country's political ex istence ? What can be opp osed to it ? The frown of Mr. Hulsemann ! The anger of that satellite of the Czar called Francis Joseph of Austria! and the immense danger with which some European and American papers threaten you,' and by which, of course you must feel extremely terrified ! That your Minister at Vienna will be offered his passports, and that Mr. Hulsemann leaves Washing ton, should I be received and treated in my official capacity ! Now, as to your Minister at Vienna, how you can c ombine the letting him stay there with your opinion a t: the cause of Hu n gary I really don't know. But so m uch I know; that the present absolutietical a tmosphere of Europe is not very propitious to American principles. I know a man who could tell so me curious facts about this matter, but as to Hulsemann, really I don't believe that he would be so ready to leave Washington. He has xtremely well digested the caustic which Mr. Webster has administered to him so gloriously ; hut, after all, I know enough of the public spirit of the sovereign people of the United States to believe that it would never admit to whatever (i. e. permit any) Zrf sponsible eepcai - ary of the executive power, should it be even willing to do so (which to be sure your high-minded Government is not wil ling to do), to be regulated in its policy by all the Hulsemanns or Francis Josephs in the world. So I confidently hope that the sovereigns cf this country — the people—will make the declaration of independence of Hungary soon formally recognised; and that it will care not a bit for it if Mr. Hulsemann takes to morrow his passports. Bon voyage to him- Bit it is also my agreeable duty to confess that I sin en tirely cenvinced that the Government of the United States shares warmly the sentiments of the people in that respect. It has proved it by executing in a ready and dignified manner the resolution of Con ge-ess on beh:tif of my liberation. It has proved it by cliling on, the CingrFss to con,ider how I shell be tie:eed ri:eeived. And even this morning I was ho nour: d—by the express order of the Government—by en cdiead salute from the b.ateries of the United Staten, in sueb a manner in which, according to the inTit . e.try rules, only a public high official cepacity can be greeted. lem told that I will have the high honour to review) our patriotic militia. 0, God, how toe heart throbs at the idea to see (1. e. of seeing) this gallant army enlisted on the side of freedom egainst despotism! The world would be free, and you the sa ve iurs.of humarity! And why not the.segallant men take vitt in the mighty demons:mica of the day, provid ing that I was right when I said that now-a days even bayonets thick ? Citizens of :New York, it is under your prctectien that I place the sacred cause o f freedom and independence of Hungary. " After the ceremony of speaking and shaking hands bad been gone through with at the Garden, a processiou was formed, and, escorted by 5,000 troops, marched through some of the principal streets to the City Hall ; and thence Kossuth and hi 3 family retired to their lodgings at the Lying House. At midnight he was called cut of his bed by a serenade of 900 musicians, chiefly members of German (dubs. An immense and disorderly crowd also assem bled around the hotel, and demanded a speech from the weary Hungarian, after which he was permitted to retire to bed again."

The Overland Free Press, dated Singapore, Tues. dey, Nov. 4, says :—" Amongst the news this month from Singapore is an account of an outbreak of the Malay sailors on board the Bitish barque Fawn, while on her voyage up the Straits from this to Calcutta, resulting in the murder of the whole cf the European officers and passengers, and the destruction of the vessel by fit e." The particulars as fir as they have at present tran spired, are as follow :—The barque Fawn, a new vessel, owned at Calcutta, arrived from China at Sin gapore, and left the latter port in progress of her return voyage to Calcutta on September 28. When at Singe pore, Captain Rodgers, the mister of the EMT, discharged a portion of his Calcutta-shipped crew, and in their stead took Malaya, Javanese, and a Cochin Chinese who had turned Mahommedan. The captain, it appears, was rather of an irascible temper, and what is termed a strict disciplinarian. On the sixth day, after leaving Singapore, about noon, the burra-tindal (head of a native crew) and with letters to the Raja of the country dared themselves to de tothtehefoproel-ibceat,ebhutsmthoeksiengar;i3 have taken any other part in the out- ob3erved sitting on the ui:on which the chief officer spoke harshly, and asked him if he intended to set the ship on fire. Words arose between them, and ultimately tile chief mete gave a thrashing to the hurra fiedal with a rope ' s enn'. Toe captain appears to have approved of the mate's cuoduct. Indian Lascars do not much heed this summary mode of punishment, although few experienced commanders in the country service would disgrace his chief native officer in such a manner before the crew. Malays are prcverbiel for resenting any such indig nity, nod, as in the present instance, take the earliest opportunity of revenge. Apparently the matter was parsed over; bu; such was not the tiler. The burra tindal gained over some of the Malays, Javanese, and the Cochin-Chinaman, and resolved to be re venged on all the Kafiri (Christians) on board. It is usual when ships sail at night through the Straits of Malacca fur the captain to remain on deck a!! night, dozing occasionally in a chair. This circumstance was taken advantage of by the muti neers. At midnight the burra-tindal and his confede rates found the unsuspicious captain sleeping in a chair on the poop ; they dispatched him wi t h knives, and threw his body overboard. The por tion of the crew (Bengales) not in the plot, at once fled to the ship's tops, or other places in the ship. An European named Elphick, who was pro ceeding in charge of a horse to Calcutta, also sleep ing on deck, was likewise murdered, and his body cant into the sea. The chief and second mates retired to their cabins and armed themselves ; they offered a stout resistance until after midday. The infuriated Malays literally cut the second mate to pieces; but, finding they could not get at the chief mate, they commenced with axes to cut through the poop deck into his cabin. Fiading they had effected an entrance, the mate rushed out of his cabin and jumped overboard. All this time the captain's wife and a Mrs. Becham, who, with her child, was voyaging for her health, were spectators of the frightful slaughter going on. Having got rid of all the male Europeans on board, the burra-tindal and another ringleader proceeded to Mrs. Rodgers' cabin, adding the crime of rape to their previous atrocities, and behaving in the most outrageous and revolting manner, totally unfit for publication. These two ladies, the child and cuddy, male and female servants, were then placed in one of the quarter-boats to be lowered and sent adrift in the sea. On the order being given to lower the boat, the fiend burra-tindal stood by and held on the after fall, so that the wretched inmates were cast into the sea and perished, save one man and a woman, whose husband was one of the crew. The wretches then fired the vessel, crowded all sail, and steered for the land. On nearing the shore the ring leaders quitted the vessel in the long-beat, casting the latter adrift, and landed at a place called Bruits, about 48 miles distant from Penang. The remaining por tions of the crew, finding the fire gaining on the vessel, quitted in the captain's gig and pulled for the drifting long-boat which they secured, and then set the gig adrift. Those in the long-boat proceeded to Singapore; when near the latter place two of the men took advantage of the others being asleep, swam on shore, and reported all that had occurred to the authorities. After some days several of the men were captured, including the Cochin-Chinese, others delivered themselves up, but six escaped. The Hon. Company's steamer Hooghly was dis patched to Bruits to see if the vessel could be saved, liver u tp the guilty parties. In the meantime some of not beliepv: d uc t e o eded in a native boat to Penang and i surren , -s than ' I ra g' such as they were in a measure compelled to do by threa t ,.

LON DO.N, TREATY OF COMMERCE AND NAVEGA.TIOT BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND BELGIUM. The following is a summary of this document, which is of considerable interest to the commercial and shipping interests : " His Majesty the King of the Belgians, and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom, &c., &c., animated with equal desire to facilitate and extend commerce and navigation between their respective States, have resolved to conclude a commercial treaty, and appointed as their plenipotentiaries, on the one hand, M. Sylvain Van de Weyer, Envoy Extraordi nary, &c., &c., on the other, the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, &c., &c., and the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, &c., &c.; and who, after the usual pre liminaries, agreed to the following articles : "I. There shall be reciprocal liberty of com merce between all the States of the high-contracting parties, and the subjects of each of them shall, throughout the whole extent of their respective ter , ritories, enjoy the same rights, privileges, &c., as are enjoyed by naturals. " 11. As regards the rights of the flag, it is agreed that merchandise of all kinds, without distinction of origin, imported directly under the British flag from any part of the United Kingdom, its colonies and pwsessions, in to Belgium, shall enjoy the same exemp tions, restitutions, premiums, and other favours, and shall not be subjected to other duties or formalities than those imposed upon imports under the Belgic except in the ca.e indicated in art. 5. "111. As regards the duties of origin, it is agreed that merchandise of all kinds, Without distinction of _ . origin, directly imported into Belgium under the British flag from any part of the United Kingdom, its colonies and possessions, shall be adraitted under the scale of duties imposed upon imports under the Belgic flag, in the manner the most privileged by the general Belgian tariff, excepting in the cases specified in art. 5. It is understood that all merchandise to which the above articles are applicable must really have been taken on board in ports of the United King dom, its colonies and possessions. "IV. All merchandise, without distinction of origin, imported into Iplgiutn under the British flag, from other places than those within the United King dom, its colonies and possessions, shall enjoy the same exemptions, premiurn, and other favours, and shall not be subjtcted to other form , ,lities, nor pay other duties than if imported under the Belgian fl ig, save and excepting the goods specified in the following article:— " V. Exceptions shall be made to the above three articles for the g00d7 , , and in the following oases : " 1. As regards the third and fourth articles, fur upholstery and dye. woods, rice, sugar, coffee, to bacco, and cotton,* only where the importation shall take place directly from a transatlantic country under Belgian colours. Fruits, olive oil, and raw sulphur —only when the importation takes place directly from the Vitae of production under Belgian colours. " 2. As regards the disposition of articles 2,3, and 4, for salt. Bat, his Majesty the King of the Bel gians engages first, to reduce two-thirds the duty ac tually imposed on rock salt imported from the United Kingdom, under the British flag; secondly, to assimilate mineral salt imported from the United Kingdom with rock salt - , as regards customs, excise duties, exemption from cache in case of being des tined for manufacturers or bond. In order to enjoy this favour, the salt must be accompanied by a cer tificate delivered by a Belgian consular agent, con firming the same to be of British mineral origin ; thirdly, to remove the prohibition on the transit through the Thlgian territory of salt imported under the British flag.-j -" VI. Merchandise imported from transatlantic aountries under the British flag shall pay the same duties with which they were charged in transatlantic entrepots or transatlantic country of production. "VII. IVlerchandise of ell kinds, the importation of which is, or Phan be, legally permitted in the ports of the United Kingdom, its colonies and possessions, in B:itish bottims, may be equally imported in Belgic 55t13, without being subject to other or higher duties, of every denomination whatever, than if im ported in British vessels. " VIII. The reimbursement by Belgium of the duties levied in the navigation of the Scheldt by the Netherlands Government, in virtue of clause 3, art. 9, of the treaty of 19th April, 1839, is guaranteed to British vessels. "IX. As regards all exportations, without distinc tion of origin or destination, and in all that concerns drawbacks, premiums, or facilities, which the legisla tion of the two c3untriss has or may establish, the two contracting parties reciprocally assume to each other the treatment of nationals. "X. All articles of every kind whatsoever coming from Great Britain, or expedited to that country, and , reversing Belgium by the State railways, shall be exempted from all transit dues, and the prohibition winch still affects the transit of some of these articles is removed—excepting always gunpowder and iron. and the transmission into France of Linen threads and tissues, and coals. It is understood that it will be necessary to adhere directly to the measure pre scribed by the Belgic Administration to prevent fraud. Belgian commerce shall, as regards transit through Great Britain, enjoy the treatment of the most favoured nation. [lt does not appear from the above that reciprocity is guaranteed to England]. " XI. It is distinctly understood that the above articles do not apply to coasting trade, which each country reserves to itself the right of regulating ac cording to its own laws. The same is applicable to all matters concerning national fisheries, save and ex cept that the two flags are assimilated as regards the importation of fish of all kinds. " XII. No tonnage, harbour, light-house, pilotage, or any other similar or equivalent duty or dues shall be levied in the ports of either country on vessels of the other, come whence they may, that is not imposed on national vessels in similar casts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN ItU GRANVILLE.—JUDGMENT. He now d _ 1 ti reserved a btohaorrsadjenui boarding 1 7 judgment w th a i s s case.

The bankrupt had passed through the usual stages, and he had now arrived at the last stage—the application for his certificate, by which be would be absolved from all bygone engagements. To this application for his certidcate there was not only no opposition by the creditors, but it was obvious that the principal cre ditor, who was also the assignee, a gentleman of the highest character and respectability, was extremely favourable to the bankrupt. He was of opinion that the fact of a large body of creditors uniformly abstaining from making opposition was strongly in the bankrupt's favour. There was no one found among the nu merous persons Dr. Granville was connected with to oppose his certificate or to gainsay the request he now made. He (the Commissioner) must therefore start in this case by saying that this absence of op position appeared to tell favourably in the bank rupt's favour. There was another feature in the case which was extremely favourable to Dr. Granville, that throughout his large dealings, and in every part of them—for they had been very various—everything he had done was as it were recorded, and every far thing of expense was vouched by certain books and documents which the official assignee said gave a complete and true history of all his tranzactions, his outgoings and incomings, so that no person could doubt the truth and accuracy of these accounts. And he (the Commissioner) must apply to Dr. Granville the rule applicable to all, that such a circumstance was always very favourable to a person:,ho failed. The great majority were without those proofs, everything in fact bring estimated, and creditors were left to raised accounts, as they were sometimes tilled, or supplemental accounts, but the better term would be accounts guessed at. No such imputation, however, could be cast upon Dr. Granville., as, whatever were his faults, they were transparent, which any one might see by reading the documents. He (the Com missioner) could not but contemplate with regret and pain this case, where a gentleman of talent far above the ordinary cla , s, who if 'he had confined himself to his profession, is which he so excelled, wou!d have reached nearly the top of his profession, as it appeared he was making a large income indeed; but it had happened to him, as it too often did with men of genius, a rage for speculation entered his mind. Ile had thought of schemes and adventures which it was scarcely credihhi he could have ewe- en tered into. First, he wanted to establish a company called the Thames Improvement Conipeny—but he (the Commissioner) could not vita see the connexion of that w ith medicine—of which he said he was manager and diremor ; he would have much better have managed and directed his patients. The next thing be did was to become a shareholder and direc tor of the Benevolent Life Insurance Company. He then got to other speculations, and engaged in the farming business, which he took to in 1844, and he imputes one cause of his failure to the measure passed for free trade in corn subsequent to his taking the farm, which, in consequence, had reduced his profits. These were what he specified as the causes of his failure, but he had forgotten one speculation. He had conceived an idea that he could establish some sort of traffic in Seltzer water, by which ha would obtain profit and make a large fortune. But he did that which was certain to get rid of a fortune—he embarked in a Caancery suit, which was still going on, and it appeared that the progress of that suit bad lost the creditors a very con siderable amount for costs expended. Whet had he to do with Seltzer water ? Why did he not confine himself to that pursuit in which he was excelling and making a comfortable subsistence ? A circumstance that was favourable to the bankrupt was this—that upon looking at his expenditure it would be found that it was quite within the range of his gains and profits. He had not indulged in profuse personal ex penditure, but it was very small, considering his posi tion as a physician, as he had appearances to keep up; and it appeared to him (the Commissioner) to have been extremely moderate, and certainly within rather than without the limit to be assigned to persons in his circumstances. These circumstances bad induced him (the Commissioner) to think he might accede to the wish 'of the bankrupt to have an immediate certificate, and it was not only the wish of the bank rupt himself, but of the gentleman who from the be ginning had been a firm and wailing friend to him, and the wishes of both would be complied with. If there had been opposition, perhaps he might have been disposed to take another view, but there being no one to oppose, he did not see anything to induce him to step out of the ordinary course, and to say " No" to what so many people wished. He should grant an immediate certificate; the only question now re maining was of what class. Trig case was not to form a precedent to others who embarked in specula 'ions without the excuse made for Dr. Granville. Parties who bad ample means were not to be repro. bated if they kept within the amount of their own funds ; but parties had no right to speculate without the means of meeting any adverse results which might ensue—to speculate upon the funds of other people. The judgment of the Court was, that Dr. Granville should receive an immediate certificate of the second clan. (B.;fore Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN RE J. /1. MAY.

There was a very protracted hearing, but in conse quence of the Commissioner reserving his judgment our report is deferred. IN RE MARRIOTT.

IVORTIIERN CIRCUIE—v Dec.r., .A., 19. NISI PR lUS COU —(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) CHILD m ußD , R .—Sarali Ann Hill, aged 25, was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant male child on the ` - )Oh of October last, at Wakefi e ld. appeared for the prosecution,l‘rl.°vereanndd 2 , n l d r. Plilcrierliinagrddyefended the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of Vac various wit nesses, and from the opening of th e L earned C ounse l for the prosecwiens that the pri soner was a servant child,g irl and, o andf thathaadabb child.oe abut four fsoer broughtyears ago sh e h a d b een de livered herself was an illegitimate up and taken care of from infancy by old Mrs. Gill, the landlady of the . Blue Bell public hou se, Kirkgatr, Wakefield, whom she was accustomed to cull " mother ;" and Mrs. Gill's son, who now kept th e pu bli c -h ouse, s h e was in the habit of callicg " brother." Wh , , , n out of iss Ant, of De ws b ury , an d on y service she usually went to old M rs . Gill' s unt i l she could find another situ ation . The prisoner had for merly lived with a M s service some tim e ago s h e leaving Miss Anty 's into the service of a Mr. Smith, a porter merchant at Wakefield, where she remained till the 4th of October. On leaving that situa tion, being out of service, she went to old Mrs. Gill's her, asked her, from to stay, and remained there till th e 20th o f t h e same month, when she again entered th e serv i ce o f Mi ss Anty. Miss Anty, on engaging her appearance,i if she wasn the family way, when the prisoner replied, " rtn as much in the f a mily way now as when I left you. , It appeared that in June the prisoner had consulted a surgeon, who told her she was pregnant, and that he was sure the child had quickened. Another servant maid at Mr. Smith's, where she was then living, had also perceived her con dition, and told her she was pregnant, which the pri soner then admitted, and sai 1 she was about to be married to the father of the child. On the night of Sunday, the 19th of October last, old Mrs. Gill's son and his wife and family retired to rest between ten and eleven o'clock, and about five o'clock on the fol lowing morning the prisoner rapped at Gill's door and said she was going to Dewsbury. She had told them the night before that . she was going by the half-past five Government train in the morning. They had advised her not to go by that train, but she said if she did not she would have to pay more. She then went, saying " Good bye to you ; will you be good enough to send my boxes after me to Dewsbury ? ' She had been observed about one o'clock that same morning by a neighbour of the Gills—a Mrs. Fell— going across the yard to the privy ; and a sou of Mrs. Gill, who worked in a factory, and who had to go to his work between Live and six o'clock in the morning, on going downstairs found the prisoner in the kitchen, apparently lightieg the fire, and she asked him if he would help her. She was then wearing a victorine and a light straw bonnet, and was dressed as if in ,readiness for going out. lie then went out to go to his work, and he heard the prisoner come out after him, and saw her going towards the railway station. He saw her carrying a bundle and a basket. On the Saturday night before this (the 18th of October) the prisoner bad a blue band-box in her room at Mrs. Gill's, and on the Monday morning, the 20th of October, the day she left, the hat-box was gone. That morning there was a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Government train going from the Wakefield stationrailway to porter,D ew Dewsbury named t Jackson, hal f-pastwas at o'clock, and a at ' t clo he ck' station at five o'clock. On opening the doors there was nothing in the passage to attract attention, and he saw the train off and several passengers in it for Dewsbury. After the train had been gone some three or four minutes, a woman came to the window where the tickets were delivered and asked for a ticket for Dewsbury, and she was told the train WI:: gone. She then asked what time the next train a ant, ana wis toll at 11.30 o'clock. Some one was with her to whom she was heard to speak, and, from the answer given, that person was supposed EVENING. DECEMBER 0:) to be a man. After she was gone a blue bandbox was found by Jackson in the passege at the railway station, without any address upon it, and it was thereupon taken into the booking office and opened, and in it was found the dead body of a male . child wrapped up in some linen, *spite warm and bleeding. The neck was slightly cut on one side, but more severely on the other, the artery being cut through. From the evidence of the surgeon the child had been born alive, and in his opinion the cuts had been made before death. Intelligence of the disco very of the child immediately spread, and a man and woman walking near the railway station were taken into custody on suspicion of being the persons who applied for the ticket for Dewsbury. This, however, turned out to be a mistake, and a reward was offered of 251. for the apprehension of the criminal, and a further reward of 501. and a free pardon for any ac camplice were afterwards offered by GJveriinaent. From suspicious circumstances affecting the prisoner, she was taken into custody on the 24 of November, and on examination by a surgeon, though dillicalt to express an opinion, from her having had a child before, ha gave it as his opinion that she had recently given birth to a child. She was also seen walk ing into Dewsbury that same morning at nine o'clock carrying a bundle and a basket. Gill's premises were then searched, and discoveries were made which indicated that the prisoner had been de livered at Mrs. Gill's of a full-grown child. A piece of cloth was found there which formed part of the cloth in which the dead child was found wrapped, and which had formed part of a chemise belonging to the prisoner. After this the prisoner had said to Mr. leleDonald, the superintendent of the Wakefield police, that she had had a miscarriage at Gill's of a fear er five months' child, and that the had thrown it into the privy. On searching the ashpit up the yard of Gill's house an afterbirth of a full-grown child was found. While in custody the prisoner wished to see a clergyman, and the Rev. Mr. Jones, curate of the parish church at Wakefield, saw her, and to him she made a statement that she was delivered cm the night of the 19th of October of a child, and that Gill came into her room, tosk the child, and murdered it by the bed. She afterwards said that Gill and his wife had murdered the child. All the family of the Gills were, in consequence, token into custody. It was elicited in cross-examination of one the policemen examined, that while before the magistrates, when Gill was discharged, he stooped down end kissed the prisoner. Gill, however, stated, when asked as to this, that as he passed at the magistrates' table he said to her, " Well, you've made a hooey job of yourself." She answered, " Will you forgive me ?" He said he did, and shook hands with her, and stooped to do so, as she was seated, but did not kiss her. (In their evidence Gill and Mrs. Gill, and other witnesses, entirely contra dicted the prisoner's statement.) The Learned Counsel for the prisoner then addressed the jury for the defence, contending that the evidence was inconclusive to fix this crime on the prisoner; that her statement to the clergyman was made when she was scarcely conscious of what she said from terror and exhaustion, and was not to be relied on ; and that it was physically impossible for the prisoner, if she had given birth to a child, as alleged, on the night of the 19th of October, to have got up next , morning at five o'clock, and after walking with her bundle and the child in a bandbox to the railway r station, to have afterwards walked six miles to Dews , bury. The child must, therefore, have been placed where found by somebody else. • It being now ten o'clock the court was adjourned )1 until next morning._ December 20. Mr. Baron PLATT this morning proceeded with great care to go through the voluminous evidence, occupying nearly two hours in summing up. The jury having retired, after an hour's absence, found the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP, having put on the black cap, then proceeded to pass the awful sentence of the law upon the prisoner. His Lordship held out not the slightest hope to her, as her crime had been aggravated by her falsely charging another with it, and that other ber foster brother, who had given her hospitality. His Lordship in the usual form then sentenced the pri soner to be hung by the neck until she was dead. The rest of the day was occupied by the trial of a poaching case possessing little interest. In the Crown Court Mr. Justice Maule was occu pied all day in trying rape cases and cases unfit for publication. The grand jury were discharged this morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. Henry Martin Flanagan, aged GO, described as a gentkinan, was placed at the bar on remand before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with obtaining from a woman named White 11. 3a. 6d., under the false pretence that he was clerk to Mr. Horry, the barrister, and that for that sum Mr. Horry should defend her husband, who subsequently was sentenced to trans portation. Mr. Horry was now examined—He said he was a barrister, and had chambers at No. 1, Warwick-court, Holborn. He had not received any money from the prisoner to defend a man named White, who was tried at the Middlesex Sessions and transported. Toe prisoner never was his clerk, and he was never au thorised to receive lees except when he was specially sent for them, he (Mr. lorry) sometimes having em ployed him as a messenger. He never authorised the prisoner to represent himself at the House cf Deten- , tion as his clerk. Cross examined—l knew the prisoner as an attor ney's clerk, and if I had not taken briefs from him, all the other members of the bar at the sessions would have been glad to do:so. I have not been in the habit of giving him the clerk's fee when he brought ue briefs. Might have done so in some cases. I cannot swear that I have not. I have received the depositions in cases frotn :him, and defended prisoners with no other instructions. To the MAGIETRATE—That is a very commonprac tice with the bar at the sessions, and it is customary to take the guinea without a clerk's fee at all. I have no clerk at this time. I cannot say I have not done it. I never gave the prisoner the half-crown out of the guinea. Flanagan and Mrs. White came to me on the Monday of the sessions, and she instructed me to make a int:don to put off the trial of Edward White until the next session. She appeared in great trouble and distress. She promised to pay me the money at the end of that week or the next. The fee was 1/. 33. 6d. The prisoner introduced her to me. I made the motion, and Mr. Witham postponed the trial. I have defended prisoners and made motions, believing that the fees would be paid afterwards. In such cases the prisoner has received the fees, and paid them to me afterwards. I have defended cases on the promise of the prisoner that I should be paid. I have received briefs from him. I expected to receive the fee for the motion in question from him. I should have looked to him for the fee entirely. Re-examined—l did not understand the prisoner to be an attorney. I have known him to be a clerk to several attorneys, viz., Davis, Head and Williams. I knew him first in 1847. I then lost sight of him for two years, and saw him again two years ago. He gave me briefs, but in no particular character. He brought briefs and clients, and the parties sometimes came without him. I did not authorise him to re ceive money for me, but I had not forbade his receiv ing it. If he did receive money, I expected he was to pay it to me. In this case I expected he would re ceive the money and pay it to me, not as my clerk though, but as a client. The Clerk (Mr. Mould)—Without reference to this case, are there not a number of persons who prowl about the court to get hold of poor persons under the pretence that they are attorneys or clerks ? Mr. Horry—Yes, and every member of the bar at that court takes briefs from them. I objected to it ten years ago, and called a meeting of the bar upon the subject, to reverse the whole system. I proposed that there should be a regular roll of the attorneys of the court and their authorised clerks, so that counsel should receive briefs from none but them, but it was not carried out. I wish to say that lam not in par ticular an example of this system. It is general amongst the bar. The MAGISTRATE, after recapitulating the facts, said he should commit the prisoner for trial. Flanagan said Mr. Horry had behaved most cruelly to him in deny big that he was his clerk. " I have been living with him." he said, "for six years in the same chambers, and I have signed all his papers and been consulted in all his business matters; and didn't I make an application to my schoolfellow, the O'Con nor Don, who was a Lord of the Treasury, to get him made a county court judge; and didn't I intro dace all my friends to him as clients ? I have two brothers of my own barristers ; and I declare to God I never had a penny of this woman's money. I had to write on the chambers-dour every morning where I was going. Oh, Mr. Horry, what a cruel man you are I" The prisoner was fully committed, the Magistrate consenting to take bail for his appearance to answer the charge at the sessions. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Arnold Gerber was charged before Mr. Hardwick with uttering a forged cheque, purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Salim, Dean, and Co., for 3401. on tho London and Westminster Bank. George Tozer, clerk at the S. James's- square branch of that bark, said that that morning the pri• soner presented to him for payment a cheque for 3401, signed " Selim, Dean, and Co." The bank had cus tomers of that name, but as it was directly di,covered that the signature was not in the handwriting of the firm, the prisoner was questioned as to the party he had received the cheque from, when he mentioned the name of Sims, and said he received it from that person. Mr. Mr. was not in the handw►iting of his partner or hirmelf, and the prisoner was an utter stranger to him. The prisoner, in anwer to the charge, stated that bin in want of a situation, he bad advertised in one of the morning papers, and in reply thereto he:received the following note :—" If A. G. has not yet met with an engagement, he is requeated to call to• morrow (Friday) by one o'clock, at Osmond's Coffee-house in the Strand, and inquire for Mr. Sims. If found suitable he will be eegaged.” He went to Ostnond's Coffee-house and asked for Mr. Sims, bet was told by the landlady that that gentleman had left a note for him. The note stated that Mr. Sims had waited for him and had gone towards St. Jomes'et-prk, end would be found leaning against the Duke of York's pillar. He went there and found a well-dressed stranger who said his name was Sims ; and after some conversation, he told him to call on him at the same coffee-house on the following day He did so, and was engaged, and the cheque in ques tim given him to go to St. James's-square with, and get cashed. The prisoner was remanded to Tuesday next for further inquiry. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY.--The 11 ig-t , hip Impreg nable, 104, will be paid off and recommissioned on the Ist of January next with a complement of 208 mei). The steam block-ship Smspareil, 81, having com pleted her boilers, was this day warped to the jetty. The circumstanc's connected with a collision cif the Start on \Veduesday have excited a great amount of interest here. According to the account of Captain A. Van 00F,tercorn, the Corinthian was seen at eight o'clock in the morning under too topsails, foresail, fore and aft mainsail and wizen, jib and staysail, on the larboard tack, sailing down Channel; wind variable, S.E. to 1..5,E. The Theodora and Sara was close-hauled on the starboard tack, under topsails, maintopgallant sail, foresail, mainsail, jib, staysail, gaff-mainsail, and t&z!n. About nine o'clock the Corinthian struck the Dutchman between her cathead and stem, and cut completely through her bow, causing her to fill and sink in about an hour. The Theodora and Sara left Batavia on the Bth of September, called at St. Helena on the lit, and sailed therefrom. on the 21 of November. Her cargo of sugar, coffee, and tin, and the vessel, have been esti mated at the value of 25,0001. She was 400 tons burden, and had a complement of 15 hands; iii addi tion to them the Corinthian brought to this port the captain's wife and daughter and Lieutenant Baron van Heeckereen van Branzenburg and five soldiers, invalided from the service of his Netherlands Majesty at Batavia. Every attention has been paid to the suf ferers by Mr. Luscombe, the Consul fur Holland at Plymouth. The Aboukir, hired ship, with pensioners and their families and male convicts, last from Portsmouth, arrived on Friday. After embarking 60 or 70 con victs from the Dartmoor pritons, she sails first fair wind for Hubart-town. APPOINTMFNTS. WOOLWICH, DEC. 20.—MAstors—Alexander M. P.

Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., Sur veyor of the Navy, visited Woolwich• dockyard yesterday for the purpose of inspecti ng th e Agamm non, 80, now nearly ready for launching, which will take place about March next or the end of the finan cial year. The engines with which this fine vessel is to be fitted are of 600 horse power, by John Penn an d Son, Greenwich, and are in an advance,l state. They will be ready to be put on board immediately after the launch. The Royal Albert, 120, was also inspected by Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, as it is intended to have her fitted with a screw and auxiliary engines. She is in so forward a state that the requi site alterations to fit her with a screw , propeller may be effected and her launch take place before the end of 1852, and she will then have been ten years on the stocks, as she was commenced in 1842. The Royal Albert is of 3,394 tons, old measurement. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 20.—. A firm but quiet trade to•day. MANCHESTER, DEC. 20.—Tne trade throughout the week has continued exceedingly languid, the dealers and bakers acting with such extreme caution that but few transactions have occurred in any article, and these could only be effected by accepting offas at slightly reduced rates. The arrivals of oats and oatmeal from Ireland at Liverpool and Runcorn are to a fair amount, but of other produce limited; and from our own coast the supplies likewise continue scanty. From abroad the imports of wheat and flour are tolerably extensive, the latter in• eluding a larger quantity of French than of late, but of Indian corn on l y mo d erate. Our market this morning ruled very quiet, and general runs of both wheat and flour must again be noted the turn cheaper. Oats and oatmeal moved off slowly, and barely supported their pre vious value. NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 20.—At Derby yesterday the supply of wheat was large, and was consequently easier to purchase. But few samples of barley were exhibi ted, and good qualities were readily sold at previous rates. Nu change occurred in any other article, save new beans, and these may be noted fully is per quarter lower. Wheat, red, 33s to 38s per 36 stone; white, ditto, 403 to 445. Barley, for malting, 24s to 283; ditto, for grinding, 23s to 25s per 30 stone. Oats, old, 22s to 26s per 24 stone; ditto, new, 18s to 21s. Beans, old, 363 to 393 per 38 stone; ditto, new, 30s to 335. Flour, 27s to 28s; super, 303 to 31s per 20 stone. At Newark on Wednesday supplies were very limited, in conse ralnegyuid was, and a conse quence of the previous week's depression, and a smaller quantity of business was done than for many weeks past. For wheat the trade was speciallyprice:. B a l little or no change took place in pre trifle lower for general samples, with but a flit demand. The inquiry for oats and beans was not better than lest noted, and the former decrea , ed in value from 6d to Is per quarter. No variation in price eau be quoted in the latter. Wheat, white, 413 to 445; red, 36s to 395. Barley, malting, 263 to 298; grinding, 18s to 235. Oats, 15s to 265. Beans, 29s to 34. Other local markets also show diminishing supplies this week, occasioned by previous depressions in prices, and the advice to the farmers, by the Duke of Newcastle and others, not to force their produce into the hands of factors at the pre sent low quotatione. At our own market to day, with a moderate supply of wheat, last week's prices were fully supported. and really fine samples being scarce were more sought after. The show of barley was not large; fine qualities were rather dearer, end inferior more saleable at their prz Tions value.
