FRANCE The Courrier du Gard says—" The new Minister of Public Works, M. Magne, appears to be resol ve d to present to the Legislative Assembly a Bill for the execution of the railway from Lyons to Avignon. For this purpose he is making a very strict examination into all the propositions made by the different com panies relative to the execution and the working either of the line from Paris to Lyons, or of the two separate lines from Paris to Lyons and from Lyons to Avignon. What appears to be per fectly decided on in his mind is the urgent necessity for the construction of this latter part, which is to unite the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. He has consequently taken into serious consideration the propositions emanating from the united ironmasters of the Alais, the Voulte, and the Tete Noire, which of fer more acceptable conditions than any hitherto pre sented to the Government. In the event of no ar rangement becorrikig possible with these companies, M. M.lgne is decided on demanding from the Assem bly the opening of a credit of 50,000,000 f, divided over two years, for commencing at the expense of the State the works of the seetien from Lyons to Avignon." ' GERMANY. Several of the Garman journals having stated that a body of troops was to be formed in the environs of Coblentz, under the order 3 of the Prince of Prussia, the Post Gazette of Frankfort says that this is erro neous ; and it adds, that several regiments had passed through that town to new garrisons, to be dismissed. The Vienna journals of the 12th announce that Baron Koller, Austrian Chargé d'Affaires at London, has been sippointed Minister Plenipotentiary in Belgium. TARRING AND FEATHERING BLACK LEGS AT NORTH - SHIELDS. NORTH SHIELDS, FEB. 17.—The seamen of North Shields seem to have taken the law into their own hands. The committees of the men on strike have watchers on the river both day and night to sea that nose of the crews of the vessels ready for sea get away. If they catch a man on board th ey f etc h hi m on shore, and either get him out of the town, or hand him over to the women, to be dealt with according to " General Lynch." On Sunday aft ernoon seven boats' crews went on board the lying at No. 2 buoy, and having found a " half marrerd" in.the forecastle, brought him on shore. As sooa as he was landed he was handed over to the women, who besmeared him all over with coal tar, a nauseous compound, turned him into the streets, and hooted him out of the town. He was found by the police in a very exhausted condition, and conveyed to the station-house, where the filthy compound was scraped off him, and his hair also had to be shaved from his head, it being impossible to get the stuff out of it. A woman was fined 51. on Monday for having taken part in the proceedings. A young man of the name of Metcalf was taken . out of the Spring trader, lying at the seme buoy, during the afternoon, brought on shore, and used in the most cruel manner by a large mob of men and women. It is expected that the ring leader in the last affair will be brought to justice. On Sunday morning about three o'clock a melancholy accident happened to one of the watchers, who went off with five others to overhaul a vessel that was going to sea. The vessel was towing down, and going rapidly through the water. In attempting, to hook the ship's boat the watchers' boat upset, and one of them, a young man named Mark Arm str.ng, was drowned. His body was picked up on Sunday atternoon. Twenty-five policemen have been sent down from Newcastle to assist the authorities to keep the peace; and a number of special constables would be sworn in at South Shields yesterday. There are a great number of laden vessels in Shields harbour ready for sea, if they could procure crews. LONDON AND BLACK WALL RAILWAY. The half-yearly report of the directors of this corn pan, to be submitted to the meeting of proprietors on the 25th inst., states that for the past half-year there has been an increase in the passenger traffic, as com pared with the corresponding period of 1849, amount ing to 637,801 in the numbers carried, and 4,537/. in the receipts. The traffic during the two periods, including the gross toll from the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway, was as follows:-1849. —Passengers, 1,219.508; amount, 20 2681. 1850.—Yas sengers, 1,357,309; amount, 24,806/ The increase from the local traffic amounted to 3,5061., and for the river traffic to 1,031/. The East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway was opened as far as Islington on the 26th of September last, and the opening has since been extended to Camden-town. Under the arrangement with that company the receipts are divided pro rati, in proportion to the distance run over each line; and the traffic derived from this source has amounted to 187,116 passengers and 1,1951. Considering that the Dock Junction line was not opened until late in the year, the directors think very favourably o: the traffic so far as it has yet been developed. The junction with the London and North-Western Railway will, it is understood, be effected in the course of this month, and there ap pears to be every prospect that the passenger traffic of the Dock Junction lice, when fully de veloped, will add considerably to the revenue of this company. The comparative working expenses ex hibit an increase of about 8001. during the past half year; of this sum about 4001. is in the locomotive charges, and will be accounted for by the additional mileage run, and 2901. in the law charges appli cable to revenue, which are increased by the appeals againtt the parochial lisses -, ,ments throughout the line now being made, for the purpose of diminishing the an nual charge for rates and taxes. The consumption of coke for the half-year ending December last averaged 21.251 b. per mile, and the total locomotive caerges 8.1111. per mile; and et the corresponding period of 1349 it averaged 23.011 b. per mile per train. and the lo comotive charges 8.34 d. per mile. The balance on tha revenue account amounts to 12,6751., and after deducting the interest on debentures there remains 11,633/. appli cable to dividend. This sum will admit of the payment of 2s. per share clear of income-tax upon the 109,131 shares issued, leaving a balance of 381/. During the past half-year arrears of calls to the amount of 21,4591. on the scrip shares, and of 7,2001. on the eaten gun shares, have been received, and a profit of 1,5211. has been realised by the sale of forfeited and un issued scrip shares; the debt due for temporary loans has been reduced from 41,000/. to 10,000 Z and thus far th«estimate cf probablo assets and liabilities given in Aueest, 1849, has been fully substantiated. The No. 2 scrip, and the extension shares in the arrear on the 31st December last, have been declared forfeited, and the 735 No. 2 scrip, at that time unissued, have since been dis posed of at a further profit to the company. The 23,000 shares of 101. each, created for the extension to Tilbury, have been taken up, and the deposits paid thereon. A con tract with Messrs. Pete and Brassey with reference to the extension has been prepared, and will be submitted to the meeting. The directors have also to report that, übject to its ratification by the shareholders, they have entered into an agreement with the London and North-Western Company for the transit of goods over this line. They have made application to Parliament for a farther extension of time for widen ing the line from Stepney to Fe.nchurch-street, and for making the branches to the London and St. Katharine docks. The. Bill fur this purpose, the North Gravesend Extension I/11, and the Bill for making a branch line to Haydon-zque,re, will be submitted for the approval of the thareholder3. The retiring directors are Messes. Daniell and Wilson, and, being eligible fur re-erection, they will offer themselves accord ingly. It appears from the provisions of the agreement with the London and north-Western, referred to in the directors' report respecting the branch railway t o Ilaydon-square, that the Blackwell Company are to raise the money and to construct the line; the London and North-Western are to pay interest on the money raised f this purpose, at 5 per cent. if raised by shares; if raised by debentures, then at the rates (not exceeding 5 per cent.) at which the money shall have been borrowed. The London and North- Western may purchase the branch line within three years after the opening. The London and North- Western Company are to have the right to work their goods trains over Blackwell and Blackwell Exten sion Railways, and the proposed branch b e t ween Hayden.-square, and the junction with the Birmingham Junction line, but not so as to interfere with the pas senger or other traffic of the Blackwell Railway. The North-Western Company's trains not to exceed six each way. The tolls payable to the Blackwell Com pany to be as follow, viz.:—On the first 156,000 tons a year 61 per ton ; upon every additional ton up to 203,000 tons, 4d. per ton.; and for every additional ton beyond 208,0130 tone, Md. per ton, with a gua rantee that the toll shall not in any ono year be less than 2.5001. The report of the auditors, Messrs. Beattie and Valpy, states that the expenditure of 2,0331. on capital account last half-year is properly charged ; that the receipts and payments are all duly vouched, and the statements are faithful abstracts from the company's books. They expressed their continued satisfaction with the excellent manner in whieh the books are kept and with the increasing revenue of the company- Th e i r capital account to the 31st of December last shows that 1 , 3 13,4141, htal been received, and 1,369,000/.,,5361. expend e d , leavine el) , of 2aa balance again s t th e com p ows that 108,346 e The " h state Tent o f th e share capital ere issued A ; 3,554 shares sh unissued; total shares, ores 111,9 in arrear, received on shares issued, 1,225,3141.;am0unt to be raised on shares uniss a u r e r d ear, ; total amount, 1,266,0 0 0/.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20 5 1851. have been able to effect some sales, without generally submitting to lower rates than they would have taken towards the latter end of last week. There has been a rather more general inquiry in this department, with some increase of purchases, and more of a disposition for business than has been observable in yarns. In both departments, however, there is much irregularity amongst sellers, with much unsettledness of pur pose amongst buyers. It appears from the accounts brought by the overland mail, that the depres sion in the Bombay market has increased; but from Calcutta the advices are better than the previous telegraphic notice had led people to expect. The market was very quiet, 'but there was little altera tion in prices; and stocks and arriving supplies were light. At both places there was a monetary pressure, which had led the banks to raise the rate of interest. Letters from the United States also show an increased tightness in money matters, and much rates for loans. The accounts from China, we are happy to say, are more favourable than for some time past, and caused an increase of business in fabrics su it e d f or t h at mar k et. ROCHDALE, Moxnair.--We have had an extremely dull market in flannels; very few buyers have attended, and the business transacted has been of a very limited nature. The wool dealers complain of the limited de man l for the raw material, but prices remain stationary. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The manufactured goods trade remains exactly in the same state es reported in our last, scarcely anything worth notice having taken place in the interim ; and production is going on, though to a more limited ex tent than has been the. case for some time past. Many manufacturers, however, anticipate a re sumption of business in the course of next month. The throwing mills generally continue to be well em ployed, and in this branch there exists a demand for hands; very little business has, however, of late been transacted in the thrown material; this, no doubt, being caused by purchasers waiting the result of the public sales of raw silk in London. The dyers are rather better supplied with work. We regret to have to note a failure of a firm here, engaged in silk throwing and manufacturing, who stopped payment the latter end of last week. The liabilities are said to be upwards of 5,0001., but there is every appearance of the greater part being paid up, if time be allowed. The late failure of a firm in Manchester, engaged in buying and selling wholesale manufactured goods, will not affect the Macclesfield manufacturers very much. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have no new feature in our market to-day. Business has been generally slack, there not having been many buyers in the town. There has not been much doing during the week in the warehouses. The wool trade is quiet. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been scarcely so much business done in oar Piece Hall to-day, and the merchants are rather more shy of giving orders, espe cially for those fabrics which are partly made of cotton; but for damasks and low lastings there is still a good demand. The yarn market continues; languid; and the merchants are bidding lower prices, to which the spin ners are unwilling to accede. The wool trade is quiet, and, owing to the slackness of the demand, wool is a little easier to buy. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is no change to notice in the woollen trade since last week. The market has been dull to-day, but a fair quantity of goods continue to be delivered to order. Prices keep very firm, and stocks are lighter in the cloth halls. There is rather more doing in the warehouses, both for the home trade and for shipping. PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COll - STOCK.

The present return indicates some improvement in t'ie public health. Under the influence of more favouraole weather, the deaths, which in the first week in February were 1,109, have fallen to 1,036; and this tendency of the mortality to decline is perceived both amongst young and old. In the ten corresponding weeks of 1841-50 the aver age number of deaths was 1,050, which, if corrected for comparison with the mortality of last week, becomes 1,145. On this latter result, the 1,036 deaths of last week show a decrease of 109. However, an important difference is perceptible between the two classes of old and young persons, for, while nearly as many of the latter are now dying as usual for the period, the mor tality of the aged has fallen considerably below the cor rected average. In the zymotic class of fatal diseases, small -pox destroyed 26 lives; and in 8 of these cases the sufferers were between 15 and 50 years of age. On the Bth of February, at 16, Bishops'-mews, Paddington, a labourer, aged 47 years, who had never been vaccinated, died of confluent small-pox (after twelve days' illness); and on the following day, at No. 1, in the same mews, the wife of an ostler, aged 25, who had been vaccinated when a child, died of the disease thirteen days after the eruption. A boy also died of small-pox all Church-place in the came sub-district. Four deaths occurred on the 7th, Bth, and 12th of February in the Small-pox Hos pital at Holloway, at the several ages of 29, 32, 33, and 39. A woman, who was brought from West bourne-place, and died of " small-pox confluent, un modified (14 days' illness)," had been vaccinated young, and had " one very small cicatrix." An ostler, who came from Bartholomew-close, and a bricklayer from Islington, were not protected by vaccination; and a sea men from Sweden also died in the hospital of "small pox confluent, unmodified (12 days' illness)," though he had been vaccinated when young in his native country, and had three cicatrices. Out of the 26 fatal cases of this disease, it is only recordel in five that the patients had been previously vaccinated. As regard.: other epidemics, measles carried off 29 children, scarlatina 19, hooping-cough 43, and croup 10, these complaints not differing materially from their several averages. Typhus numbers 43 victims, the majority being of middle age; whilst the average number in ten corresponding weeks was 37. Complaints of the respiratory organs are now less fatal, and have declined to near the average. Consump tion, under which a greeter number fall than any other malady, was fatal to 124 persons, of whom 105 had reached some period of life between 15 and 60. The average of this disease, raised for increase of population, nearly equals 150. The births of 821 boys and 755 girls, in all 1,576 children, were registered in the week. The average number in six corresponding weeks of 1845-50iwas 1,373. The following selections are made from the Registrars' reports In Pancras, subdistrict of Somers-town, at 23, Drum mond-crescent, on the 9th of February, a cab-driver, aged 32, was " found dead." The coroner's jury adds, " dis ease of the heart and mortal effects of the foul air of the room where he slept." Mr. Matthews states that he died " in a back kitchen about 10 feet; three persons slept in one room—namely, the cabman, a stonemason, and a haiiehristler." In Pancras, subdistrict of Camden-town, at 23, Ashby street, on the 13th of February, the daughter of a labourer, aged 16 months, died of " bronchitis laryngtis, pneumonia (7 days), produced by inhaling the steam of boiling water." The child had attempted to drink boil ing water from the kettle. In the same subdistrict, at 4, Wood's-place, Paradise-row, on the 9th of February, a bricklayer, aged 51 years, died of " phthsis pleuritis, dyspr asa (3 days)." Mr. Roll describes this as a dirty and crowded locality, inhabited generally by cuter• mongers of the poorest class." In Holborn district, at 13, Tindall's-buildings, Gray's Inn-lane, on the 10th of February, the daughter of a Meurer, aged 2 years, died of " small-pox (1 week)." Mr. Holmes states that " this place is as usual over crowded with Irish families and other strangers. Small pox is very prevalent among the children." Bethnal-green, Hackney-road subdistrict, at 3 and 20, Collingwood-street, two children died, one of hooping cough, the other of diarrhea;. " The street is crowded, and partially drained." Vincent-street, where a child died of bronchitis, without medical attendance, is stated by Mr. Murray to be " close, crowded, and undrained." Ie St. James's, Bermondsey, at Edward -street, on the 11th of February, the son of a labourer, aged 16 months. died of " small-pox, natural, no medical attendant." " Small-pox (says Mr. Martin) is very prevalent in Jacob's Island; the mother of the above child acknow ledged that it had not been vaccinated owing to negli gence. Some persons object to the introduction of what they conceive to be the disease of an animal into their children." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

At Marylebone Police -court, on Monday, Mary Anne Ferrer, a very respectably dressed womae, about 30 years: of age, residing at 57, Beaumont-street, High street, Marylebone, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on the charge of having stolen bank -notes, jewellery, &c., to a large amount, the property of Mr. Thomas Hillman, chief clerk to the Accidental Death Inserance Company, Lothbury. The prosecutor, on being sworn, said—l and my family have recently occupied apartments at the pri soner's house. Last Saturday week I came home at six, and directly afterwards I went out; at twenty minutes past six I returned, and the door was opened to me by the prisoner, who asked me if I had not met a man coming out of the premises? I told her I had not that I was aware of ; upon which she observed, " Your son is sitting in the dining room; I think I heard footsteps across the passage; l'isa very much afraid that a robbery has been committed, and it's most likely there's the thief up stairs now." I remarked that I would send for a policemen, and I spoke to ssveral persons who were passing along to request that they would look for one while I remained at the door. Prisoner said that she would sr - e after one, and she went into the street. While I was waiting at the doer the prisoner's sister came running down stairs with dishevelled hair, and carrying a candle in her hand, exclaiming, " Oh my God, there's a man un der the bd." At this moment a policeman came to the door, and I said to him, " Let's go up stairs." Prisoner, who had returned, took hold of the candle and went up stairs, and I and the officer followed her. When we got to the bedroom floor on the second hurling I saw the front bedroom door, which room is not occupied, open, and in the apartment was a velvet cloak be longing to my wife. The policeman said jokingly, "There's your man," and on removing the cloak there was found behind it the drawer of my wife's dressing case, with a few trinkets in it. I opened my dressing room door, and at once discovered that the case itself was gone. My wife came up and found that her drawers had been disturbed, and the cloak which I have mentioned was gone. We then went up to my daugh ter's bedroom on the next landing, and I found on the drawers the outer covering of her dressing-case. The case itself was nowhere to be met with. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did the prisoner go with you into the room where the cloak was ? Prosecutor—She did, Sir. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did she make any remark to you? Prosecutor—Nothing more than that a robbery had taken place. Mr. BROUGHTON—Where was her sister then? Prose cutor—l don't know. Mr. BROUGHTON—What did your wife's dressing-case contain? Prosecutor—Either one or two 51. bank-notes, a half-sovereign, an emerald ring, a gold and emerald brooch, a tepee brooch with pearls, a gold Breguet chain, a double opera-glass, a gold ring set with a dia mond, and a cumber of other articles—value, independ ently of the cotes, from 801. to 901. I should say that my wife kept the key of her dreasing•case and she saw it safe at five o'clock on the afternoon of the robbery. By Mr. BROUGHTON—I don't know the numbers of the notes myself. My wife received some notes from a brother, one of her trustees, and a police -sergeant will tell you that he has traced one which I have every rea son to believe forms a portion of the plunder. My wife is not present, and nay daughter is now at Worthing. Sergeant Battersley, 4D, said —At half-past seven in the evening of last Saturday week I repaired to the pri soner's house by direction of Superintendent Hughes, who had received information that a large robbery had been effected in a most mysterious manner. After examining the house I saw the prisoner and her sister, and a man named Sanderson, who lives with them. I could not d e t ect any thief there, and I asked the prisoner if she had seen any one in the house, or whether any one had been in besides herself, her sister, and San derson. She replied, " No, not that we are aware of; but we heard some one pass along the passage." d Mr. BROUGLITON—Who is the man Sanderson? Wit ness—He is, I believe, by trade a gardener, and Mr. Hillman knew nothing whatever of his being au inmate of the place. Mr. Brtoucimet—What more have you to say ?.Wit ness—From inquiries which I subsequently made I as certained the numbers of the notes stoles, and stopped them at the Bank, and at length traced the payment of one of them, by the prisoner, to Shoulbred and Co., Tottenham-court-road. On Saturday night last I repaired to the prisoner's house, and told her I must take her into custody, as I had traced one of the notes which she had passed at Shoolbred's, when she said, " If I must go with you, let me have time to wash myself and change my things," I told her she might do that, but I must go with her. I fol lowed her up-stairs, where she went into a room with a little girl and closed the door. I waited outside, and in a short time I heard her move something. I went in and saw her at a small writing desk on the drawers. I teld her I must look into that myself; which I did, and found therein two pawnbrokers' tickets and sundry pa pers, and in another desk in the apartment were ten more tickets. I went out again, and while waiting at the door I heard the prisoner as she was dressing herself say to the girl, " Ohl what a fool I was to go so near" (meaning, no doubt, that she ought to have changed the note at a greater distance from her residence). I con veyed her to the station-house, where she was searched, and in her pocket was found a ticket for a brooch and a ring pledged on Saturday last. Mary Ann Bridge, who searched her, deposed that the prisoner said the articles referred to in the ticket were her own. She also found upon her a purse with a red silk lining. Newman Hunt, assistant to Shoolbred and Co., said— This day week, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the prisoner came to the shop, and I sold her goods to the amount of sd. I observed that she had exactly such a purse as that now produced. She drew from it a Si. note, and I saw that she had in it a piece of gold; she gave me the note, and on my asking her address she said, "Mrs. Bennett, 15, Euston-square." I wrote the name and address upon it, and gave it to the cashier, and the pri boner received the change. She then went away. The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say, denied that she was the person who changed the note at Shoolbred's, and said she was not out of her house until eight in the evening of the day named. In order to afford time for the production of impor tant witnesses, the prisoner was remanded till Monday next. would be unnecessary to proceed with them. He then sentenced her to be transported for seven years. THE HACKETT GANG. —James Blher a de,perate looking fellow, a member of the Hseket° gang, was charged with having st , slcn two watches, the property of Charles - Lacher; and was further charged with having stolen 45., the moneys of Joseph Thomas Winter. (It may here not he out of place to state, that while the prisoner was in the cell at the police-office waiting for his examination on this charge, he made an exchange with another man, who was in tha cell with him on a charge of drunkenness, of their clothes, and it was far ther agreed between them that Baker should answer to the name of the other man, and nice ver6d, so as to ena ble him to escape on a trifling fine for drunkenness, and as soon as he had been discharged the other would have pretended that a mistake had been made, and that he had accidentally answered to the wrong name. The deception, however, was detected by the officer on duty, and the prisoner was accordingly committed on this charge.) The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Tho Lcarnoti JUDO E sentenced the prisoner to b 3 im prisoned and kept t) hard labour for twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENC,E. LIIANSION HO US E. William S. S. Heat:, a clerk in the banking house of Messrs. Cunlifro and Co., of Lombard- street, was brought before Aldartnan William Hunter, upon the charge of having embezzled a bill of exchange for 1501., the pro perty of his employers. Mr. Roger Cunlitfe, clerk in the bankingehouse, said it was the duty of the prisoner to enter all bills and moneys received by him. There was a bill for 1501. upoa Messrs. Smith and Co., which was overdue, and not accounted for in the boolsi,; but it would be necessary to have a witness who was at present in the country to establish the charge. The prisoner was remanded for a week. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Edmond Tisdale, a dyer and scourer, car rying on business at 5, Church -street, Kensington, and Oxford•street, appeared before Mr. Henry upoa a sum mons, charged with having counselled and aided two men, named Stockin and Shepherd, to dispose of pam phlets and exhibit placards in Holborn, reflecting upon the character of certain Dissenting clergymen, con nected with Horbury chapel, at Notting Hill, whereby an obstruction was crested in the public thoroughfare. Mr. Clarkson attended to support the complaint. William Stockin, a young man employed by the de fendant, was apprehended on the 12th instant in Hol born, by Sergeant Carr, F, and being brought before the sitting magistrate for causing a crowd to assemble, he gave up the name of the person by whom he had been hired, and which also appeared on each of the pamphlets, in consequence of which he was discharged o❑ his recog nizance, to give time for a summons to be served on the defendant, that he might explain to the Court upon what grounds he caused such an exhibition to be paraded in the most frequented thoroughfares. Sergeant Carr stated that the man Stockin was mov ing along the street carrying two boards on his person, and two others in a frame, on which there were paint ings of men and women sitting at a table drinking, and two servant-maids helping themselves from a barrel of beer; at the same time he was offering for sale pamph lets, at a penny each, supporting to be an account of the disgraceful scenes, inside and outside, which took place at the opening dinner of the Horbury chapel, which was dedicated, without permission, to certain ministers of re ligion, by whom such proceedings were sanctioned, and whose names were set forth, in consequence of which the thoroughfare was obstructed by a crowd, and he took him into custody, as he refused to desist, alleg ing that he was committing no offence, as he continued to move on. The articles complained of were brought into court, and it appeared that the defendant, being a member of a teetotal society, had caused handbills to be freely circu lated at the door of the chapel, cautioning the members of the congregation, and particularly the complainant, to abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors, which caused much comment in the neighbourhood, and led to the publication of the placards in question. The bills were headed "the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink." The names of twelve Dissenting ministers and deacons were also enumerated as having by their pre sence sanctioned, encouraged, and perpetuated what must cause ruin of character, constitution, and soul. Mr. Clarkson said that the assertions made by the de fendant were of the most scandalous and malignant cha racter, and read the following passage:—" It is you, gen tlemen, and such as you, who are the real enemies of religion i❑ this country; for you appear to borrow tho sanctity of its name merely to sully the purity of its cha ractor. We beseech you to abandon either your drink ing practices cr your Christian profession, and thus se cure the single merit of consistency." William Stockin, being admitted us a witness, proved having received the articles produced from the defendant, and he was to be allowed 81 out of every dozen or pamphlets he sold. Mr. Shean, a solicitor, who appeared for the defend ant, said that the insinuations made use of in the bills were not intended to affect the character of any of the clergymen, nor was it intended that any such inference as that they indulged in intoxicating liquors should be drawn, but they were directed to their servants, and in future the pacards should not only be withdrawn, but destroyed. Mr. Clarkson said the defend int should go further, and declare in the presence of the public that every one of the charges wore false without any qualification, which being refused, Mr. Shean said that his client had been led into error by a serjt.ant of police, as regarded the question of ob struction in the public streets, as he was given to under stand that if his men kept moving along, he could not be considered as instrumental in causing a crowd to as semble. Mr, HENRY said, there could be no doubt that the de fendant had rendered himself liable, having counselled tho man Stockin to go about the streets, causing an ob ztruction by such exhibitions, merely for the purpose of indulging his private spleen against a few of his respect able neighbours, whose forbearance was very creditable, to them, for which he should be fined in the penalty of 40s. for Each of the two offences, or two months' impri sonment. The fines, including costs, were immediately paid. MA R YLEBONE. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEE.A'S BENCH, Fcb. 19. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE a Special Jury.) WILKS, PAUPER, V. LAWSON. This was an scGon to recover compensation in damages for a lib alleged to have bee n p u bli s h e d i n t h e Times newspn: per . Mr. Sk'diner appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humph :0y and Mr. Peacock conducted the defendant's case. It appeared that on the 27th of April last year, a per son named Hackett was brought up on a charge of bur glary at the Marlborough Police-court, and was re manded until the 2d of May following, on which day he was conveyed again to the court, and placed in a cell previous to undergoing his examination; but on the officer afterwards proceeding to the cell, with the view of taking him before the magistrate, he was astonished to find that he and another prisoner, named Mackeexie, had escaped. It happened that Wilks, the plaintiff, who was assistant gaolerat the court, and whose duty it was to lock up the prisoners, was absent at the time on sick leave, but suspicion arose in the minds of the authorities that some officer, connected with the office had been a party to the liberation of the two prisoners, owing to the circumstance of the door of the cell having been appa rently opened by aley, and to the fact that three other prisoners in the mina) cell had not been able to escape. An investigation was immediately instituted into the whole matter, and a. a few days afterwards Wicks was discharged, though fit did not appear from what cause, no direct proof havieg been obtained as to the person through whose connivance the prisoners had been libe rated. Considerable suspicion, however, attached to hies, a messenger who had been sent to his house having found in a locker a duplicate key of the cell. Hackett was subsequently arrested several months after his lucky escape from the police office, and became an inmate of Pentonville Prison, from which he also succeeded in effecting his liberation. On the 3d of December, 1850, an interesting account of his exploits and adventures was published in the Times, and in one passage it was stated that a turnkey had been discharged from Marlborough police-court in con sequence of it having turned out on inquiry by the au thorities that he had received a large sum of money to effect Hackett's liberation. This was the libel com plained of. The pl a i nt i ff a ll ege d that the arti c l e h a d not only dam age d his reputat i on as a tr us t wort h y per son, but prevent e d hi s o b ta i n i ng em ployment f rom indi viduals who were, previous to its publication, in the habit of employing him ; and under these circumstances he contended he WAS entitled to damages at the hands of the jury. Evidence having been given to prove the application of the alleged libel to the plaintiff. Mr. HUMH RE P Y addressed the jury in reply, admit deuce to support a pl ea ting that a ver di ct wou ld have to pass fo r th e plaintiff, as it was utter l y impossible to procu re evi of justification with respect to the statements in the article ; but urging, in mitiga tion of damages, that all the injury which the cha racter of the plaintiff bad suffered had arisen, not from what appear e d i n the Ti m es, but from the act ua l f act of his dismi ssa l, w hi c h happened many month s pre viously. There could be no doubt in the minds of the jury that the circumstances were extremely suspicious against Wilks, and that the prisoners could not have escaped without the intervention of a " golden key." He contended, therefore, that the smallest possible amount of damages would meet the justice of the case. Lord CAMPBELL having summed up, The jury intimated they were all unanimously of opinion that there should be a verdict for the plaintiff, with a farthing damages. TUE " GUNPOWDER PLOT."—FINAL EXAMINATION. —Yesterday this Court was again crowded to excess, principally by wall-dressed persons, who were anxious to hoar the further proceedings in the case in which John 1{ illiarn Hamilton stood charged with having caused a quantity of ,gunpowder to explode at the house of Mr. Millbank, a carpenter, residing at 10, Cumherland-street, New-road, and thereby doing damage to the amount of nearly 3001., his presumed object being that of sa crificing the life of his mother. The particulars of what transpired in reference to this very mysterious case have already appeared in our paper, and it will ho remembered that the third remand took place on Tuesday last, owing to an intimation given to Mr. Broughton that a very important witness could bo produced to show that the prisoner had uttered such words as to leave but little, if any, doubt with regard to his diabolical intentions. Mr. BROUGLITON, after carefully reviewing the whole of the evidence, and expatiating thereon, came to the conclusion that there was not sufficient to justify him in committing the prisoner for trial upon the serious charge against him. Tire affair, however, was one of a very mysterious and suspicious character. The MAGISTRATE discharged him from this court, and handed him over to Superintendent Brown, of the Bury St. Ed mun d' s po li ce , w h o was arme d with the authority of a warrant to apprehend him on a charge of forgery. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Feb. 19. (Before Mr. Serg e ant Anesis , Assistant - Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF CHILDREN.—Mary Evans, 18, was charged with having stolen a gow n an d ot h er articles, the p ro p er ty of Elizabeth Pitchers; and was further indicted f or h av ing stolen two cloaks, th e pro perty of Elias Lip man; with having stolen wearing ap parel, the prop erty of /Lary Allen; wearing appar e ls the property of Jacob Burdock; and linen and other ar ticles, the property of Robert Young. There were se vera l other charges for similar offences ready to be' pr e f erre d against her i n the event of the possible failure of the above. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned J UDGE said there were several oth er in dictments against the prisoner, • but h e t h ought t h at h aying b eeil uiregiy convicted upon three, it lup by a poor woman named Elizabeth Nfercer, of 10, Stone-street, Commercial-road. The prisoner is the same person who a few months since was charged with a similar efrAice, sod whose tteterment as a 6istressed needlewonsen so excited the sympathies of the humane that upvards of 401. were forwarded for bet, of which she received a considerable portion; but it hai,ing been subsequently shown that the offence with which she was then charged was not the first of the kind of which she had been guilty, the magistrates, conceiving that to ad vance her any mere would b e a bonus on crime, publicly announced not only that they would not receive any more sums on her account, but would devote the residue in hand to the funds for the general poor, unless the bene volent donors chose to reclaim their respective advances. In the case of yesterday, the prosecutrix stated that she had employed the prisoner to make up linen blouses at 6d. to 7d. each, receiving herself Is. profit on every dozen. About three weeks since the prisoner had six blouses to make up, the value of which might be about 4s. 61. each. Complainant's husband dying, and she herself being very ill, she sent frequently for the articles, being apprehensive that the delay would lose her her own employment. On Friday last the prisoner absconded from her lodgings. Yesterday she was met by the prosecutrix in Rosemary-lane, who, as she re fused to give any account of the property, gave her in charge to Smith, 415 K. Prosecutrix had known the prisoner since March last. Mr. YARDLEY—I; not this the same Rosina Herbert who was here a sh )rt time since, and on whose behalf such con:;iderablo sums were advanced by a benevolent culdic? Witness—The same, sir. Mr. YARDLEY—And yet, knowing what has since oc curred, you have employed her? The prisoner (who pretended to be much affected at her position), complained that the constable had pulled her about, and taunted her with what had formerly taken place. Smith denied the truth of this statement, and said he did not know who she was until she was taken to the static,n•house. Mr. YARDLEY—I am not at all inclined to credit any assertion of hers. It is clear that she pawned six blouses, value 4s. 6d. each, and I shall commit her on the pre sent evidence, but she will be brought up again on Monday, so as to allow the officers time to trace the property. REPEAL OF THE WINDO W TAX. Last evening a special meeting of the delegates of the various metropolitan parishes took place at the Court house, Marylebone, for the purpose of considering the declaration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in re ference to the window-tax and the attempted imposition of a house tax. The most extraordinary excitement appeared to pre vail. Long before the hour appointed for holding the ne , cling the doors of the Courthouse were besieged, and every part of the spacious building, as well as the gallery, was in a short period densely crowded by a de termined and enthusiastic auditory. Among the Members of Parliament present were— Lord Duncan, Sir B. Hall, Mr. Waklcy, Mr. J. Williams, Mr. Mowatt, Mr. J. Bell, Sir De Lacy Evans, Mr. C. Lushington, &c. Mr. J. NecuonAv, of bilarylebone, the chairman of the metropolitan delegates, having been called to the chair, observed that there were delegates assembled, not only on the window-tax, but with regard to the sewers commission; but the latter gentlemen, feeling the vast importance of the subject of the window-tax, had at once adjourned their meeting. Although they had been called together at a few hours' notice, the present as sembly indicated the feeling which the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made upon the metropolis.—(Bear, hear.) That assembly was, in fact a council of war; and they meant to show the Chan cellor of the Exchequer that they meant war, and no mistake.—(Cheers.) What they hail assembled for was to consider the Chancellor of the Exchequer's budget. —(Groans, hisses, and cries of " We'll make him budge-it.") It was such a budget as had raised the in dignation of all classes of the community—from one end of kingdom to the other.—(Hear, hear.) The time had come when they must call things by their proper names, and he pronounced the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer the greatest insult and the greatest piece of humbug that was ever attempted to be perpe trated upon the people.—(Cbeers.) It was neither more nor less than a downright swindle—(Loud cheers)—and entitled the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the cogno men of " Thimblerigger-General " to her Majesty.— (Hear, hear.) The game was in the hands of the peo ple of the metropolis. The position of the Ministry was so tottering that the metropolitan Members could turn the balance.—(Tremendous cheering.) The game was in their hands, and, to speak in plain English, they would not suffer themselves to be humbugged.—(Hear.) They had not only been taken in by the Chanceller of the Exchequer, but done for.—[L or d D UNCAN —" Not yet."] —(Tremendous cheering.) It depended entirely upon themselves, and so far from accepting a house-tax as a boon, they were determined to fling it back in his face with the contempt it deserved.—(Loud cheers.) Lord DUNCAN, on presenting himself, was loudly cheered. He was delighted to see such an assembly of delegates from all parts of the metropolis to express their indignation and disgust at the recent proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of Com mons. The Government was pledged to reform and retrenchment; and if they departed from those princi ples, the time had come when the people would tell them they were no longer worthy of support.—(Cheers.) Ile (the Noble Lord) was not going to mince the matter. A more disgraceful insult to the people was never proposed by any Chancellor of the Exchequer. Instead of according with the feeling of the people of England that the window-tax should be totally repealed, he had proposed what he called a house-tax.—(Shame.) Let them not be deceived in the matter. It was nothing of the kind; it was only the old window-tax back again.— (Hear, and Shame.) He called upon them not to be de luded by names.—(Hear.) It was a complete humbug.— (Cheers.) He repeated the word " humbug."—(Renewed cheering.) The people had been deluded on this subject before, in 1834 and 1841, and they had borne it because they were a patient and quiet people.—(Hear, hear.) But the time had come when they must uplift their voices and show that they were patient no longer.— (Hear, hear.) Not only were the people insulted by this speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but it now appeared that great care mast be taken that no ex pression should be conveyed to the House of Commons which was at all distasteful to the Chancellor. Ile had on the previous night presented a petition which he (Lord Duncan) had received from his constituents at Bath, stating that they viewed the Budget with s ur p r i se and regret.—(Hear, hear.) He was called to order by the Speaker, and was told that the people of England had no right to express surprise and regret at any thing done in the House of Commons.—(Shame, shame.) The Noble Lord at great length denounced the Budget, and declared that whatever might be the result, he would with his colleavues prevent the Government from carry ing out other measures if they would not give the uncon ditional repeal of this tax. He called upon the metro polis to speak out upon this insult on their understand ing, and the sooner they spoke the better.—(Tre mendous cheering.) Mr. HEALEY, of St. Pancras, urged that the dele gates who were the ratepayers should express their opinion first, and the members afterwards.—(Hear.) Mr. GEORGE, churchwarden of Sr. Ann's, Soho, moved the first resolution. The Government had not only broken faith with the nation, but the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was a delusion and a swindle.—(Hear, hear.)

THE THURGOLAND MURDER.--This mat atrocious murder still remains shrouded in mystery. John Firth, the brother of the murdered man, who is in custody, was brought before the Barnsley magistrates for the second time on Mon day, and again remanded. The only fresh facts that have transpired since the termination of the coroner's inquiry have reference to the movements of the prisoner prior to his meeting with his brother on the night of the murder. On that evening he left his work about half past six, but it was near nine o'clock before he met with his brother George (the deceased). No account whatever has been given, nor any mention made of the movements of the accused between those periods. Since the inquest, however, it has transpired that about eight o'clock on the night in question he was seen at the Gate public-house, on the road to Dodworth (where he afterwards called, in company with his brother and a man named Trigger), by two men, who accompanied Frith, Ben., from Penistone to Barnsley. The prisoner refused to allow his father to stay at the house, and accordingly they pro ceeded to the town, where he met his brother. On his return in company with his brother, about an hour afterwards, the prisoner delayed his departure until the rest of the company had aone, though some of them resided in the neighbourhood of the murdered man. It is thought that he then watched his opportunity, his brother being overcome with excess of liquor, to recover possession of the gun, and accompanied him towards Partridge Dale, where lie lived. No trace of the gun has yet been discovered. Sir George Grey has offered a reward of 50/., on behalf of the Go vernme n t, for the disco very of the murder.
