THE SUN, LONDON, 11,,, ? 1t r 1r - 's ( 4 , if tti' ..i - ;, . Z. man who lives by the labour of his hands, or every man who lives by the labour of other men, is a party interested in the money question ; for this reason, that by the law of the land, money is the only legal ten der ; that is, taxes, rent, wages, must all be paid in money. How is the farmer to beccme possessed of money ? Why he takes his produce to market, with which he buys money, and he cannot make a pay ment till he possesses himself of that article. Sup posing half his crop is mildewed or blighted, then he can only obtain half the money he would otherwise get; and suppose the quantity of money should be diminished one-half, then the price of the produce must fall, because less money would be given for the same quantity of produce. For instance, you purchase a thousand loaves for a thousand shil lings, then each shilling is the price of a loaf. Dimi nish the shillings to 500, and the price of each loaf would be 6d. Diminish the shillings to 250, and the loaf would be 3d. Therefore the general principle is that the prices of articles depend upon the quantity of money. If there is a great quantity of money in the country, the prices of anything rise ; if money becomes scarce, prices fall. Various causes, he was aware, had affected the value of money in this country. The discovery of the sil ver mines in South America was one cause. Adam Smith had stated that from 1570 to 1640 the price of a quarter of wheat rose from 10s. to between 30s. and 40s. The Parliamentary Com mittee of 1813, which sat to inquire into the corn question, reported that previous to 1793, the price of corn, on an average of five years, never, exceeded 505. a quarter ; but shortly after that a very great change took place in the price of corn and other commodities. The change took place in con sequence of the great increase in the circulating medium, and arose from the passing of the Bank Restriction Act, by Pitt, in 1797. In that year the Bank of England bad notes amounting to 8,601,964/. In the following year it increased to 12,954,685/. In 1809, the circulation of notes had amounted to 18,214,0261., and that increase continued till 1814 when the circulation reached 21,291,832. The pro vincial bank paper also reached to a great amount. Then what was the price of corn and other commie dities during that period ? It was proved by the Parliamentary Committee he had referred to, that the average price of wheat from 1794 to 1820 was 87s. 10d. a quarter, a period of twenty-seven years, but during the last twelve of that period, viz., from 1809 to 1820, the average price of a quarter of wheat was 975. Bd., and this rise was not confined to wheat. There was a list published by the London Chamber of Commerce, in which was inserted eighty eight principal articles of commerce and necessaries of life—malt, hops, beer, wine, spirits, sugar, tea, coffee, tobacco, cheese, cotton, wool, silk, printed goods, hides, paper, &c.—which rose very consider ably indeed at the same time. He had often been told that the war was the cause of this great rise in price, and of the prosperity which attended the country during that period. With all its at tendant evils, there can be no doubt that the progress of this country during the twenty years of war was very considerable, but regard• ing, as he did, war as one of the heaviest scourges which can be inflicted upon mankind, he never could for a moment believe that that prosperity was pro duced by war. We had war, and a good monetary system. 'War was doing all the harm it could—the monetary system then adopted, by allowing the in dustrial energies of the country to expand, was doing all the good it could. The war came to an end, and alas! the prosperity of the country came to an end. We entered not on peace and plenty, but peace and suffering. After the battle of Waterloo the Bank of England was told that they must prepare now to pay their notes in cash. They of course immediateh took measures to reduce their circulation, and the circulation was reduced nearly one-half in 1816 or 1817. The effect of this was, as might have been ex pected, from the principles to which he had alluded. Corn fell to 645. a quarter, and, according to Sir James Graham, the total number of bankruptcies in 1815 amounted to 1,285, and in 1816 they had in creased to 2,029, or an increase in one year of illy. five per cent. Such a scene both of agricultural and commercial distress ensued as this country had, at that time, never witnessed. It was necessary to account, in some measure, for that extraordinary dis tress, and the Government of the day told the people that it was caused by a transition from war to peace. These were high sounding words, the people were in deep distress and suffering, they did not know how to account for it (the currency laws being less thought about then than now) ; they believed the Govern ment, and thought it was one of those evils against CURRENCY REFORM. which there was no contending.

But how can he sell it—how can the consumer give this increased price unless the circulating medium be increased in such a way as to enable the con sumer to give that money. If it is not in the coun try it cannot be given, and it cannot be in the country under the system now pursued, under which a false cheapness prevails, and the labourer and the operative are no longer able to get a fair remune rative price. Having shown that the currency ques tion is an important one, as bearing not only upon the tenant farmer but also upon the great landed proprietor, he returned again to the consideration of a remedy; and in order to do away with the fixed price fur gold he advised a return of the system of Mr. Pitt—not to bind ourselves to it, but to have it improved by all the suggestions which the dearly bought experience and increased knowledge upon this subject during the last thirty years could bring to bear. He (Mr. Twells) proposed that we should have a paper circulation of small amount—in short plenty of one pound notes. How this should be done he cared very little, but he thought it might be so arranged that whe❑ vast quantities of gold were flowing into the Bank of England, the bank should be no longer obliged to foster specula tion by buying gold which it did not want, which was the effect of Peel's Bill of 1844. The Bank was obliged to buy and sell at a particular fixed price, whether they wanted the gold or nut, whereupon money fell, and people being unable to get any fair interest for their money, were driven into over specu lation for which they were afterwards condemned. Another suggestion was that of Mr. John Taylor, a gentleman who had paid considerable atten tion to the subject. His remedy was what he called taxation money, which is that every year Par liament should sanction the issue of an amount of GERMANY. On the 16th inst. the Minister of Commerce a Berlin had an interview with the President of the Cabinet on the subject of the affairs of the Zollverein. The Kolner Zeitung, which contains this news, states that it is now quite certain that Biron Manteuffel is resolved not to yield to Austria on this point. The same paper mentions certain rumours, which it appears have gained no inconsiderable share of credit at Berlin, of an army of 50,000 men, which, it is , said, Austri a i n t en d s to concentrate i n the nort h o f Germany. With respect to these rumours the Kolner Zeitung declares that they are unfounded, and that Austria, far from concentrating so large an army in the north, has not even sent the hill number of troops to Holstein, which she was authorized by the Ohnutz treaty to employ in the pacifi• cation of the Duchies. It is, however, worthy of notice that the Lithographirte Correspondent, a ministerial journal, thinks proper to allude to this alleged concentration of Austrian troops in a manner which i 3 evidently calculated to alarm the public. Tie! Ministerial journal concludes by stating that Pru33ia too intends to reinforce the troops which are marching upen Holstein. Another paragraph of the same paper states that the Prussian Government has asked for the reasons of this Austrian concentration of troops, and that the reasons have been stated by the Cabinet of Vienna. Nevertheless the Lithographirte Correspondenz thinks itself called upon to protest that the fact of the con centration of troops is of great importance. The Weser Zeitung states from Hanover, that for the purpose of preventing the soldiers who have been dismissed from the Holstein army from infesting the country as vagrants, the Hanoverian Government has consented to convey these soldiers by rail to the various stations on the frontiers of the kingdom. was expected that not less than 9,000 soldiers would pass through Hanover into the various states of Ger many. piper money equal in amount to that of the taxes for the year, to be laid out in the payment of the salaries of - Government officials and other Government ex • M. Beseler, late Stadtholder of Holstein, has ar rived at Brunswick. The Austrian troops reached the capital of the kingdom of Hanover on the 17th instant. Ihe Constitutionel has the following paragraph from Dresden, in reference to the arrangement of the votes of the States in the revised Bunds penses, and as it is brought in to be cancelled and ano ther lot issued, but never above the amount of the taxes. The effect of this would be that the circulation would never be depreciated any more than is the value of a pounds worth of postage-stamps. Wth regard to the price of the farmer's produce, there is a matter which is not sufficiently regarded, and that is the distinction be tween the price and the profit. If a man sold his corn at 503. a quarter, and got thereby a profit of 2001., that profit he supposed to be derived from the last 103. of that quarter of wheat, because whilst he got 503. as the price, the expense of raising the wheat was 403. Suppose the 50s. declined to 453., then the profit declined one-half, because it arose not from the whole sum, but from the last 103. Again, if the price declined to 403., then the profit was gone altogether, the farmer having just the same to pay as before. It was said, true the farmers do not get high prices, but look how cheap every thing is. In combatting this argument as being fallacious, he asked what satisfaction it was to talk to the farmer in that way, when they had taken away all his profit. As bearing upon this question the foreigner also had now an unfair advantage over the British farmer. He brings over his corn to this country, and be may take back goods if he chooses, or he may take back gold, because he can compel the bank to give him gold for his notes at a fixed priee. If the price of goods rose higher than that for which he can buy them on the continent, he always takes back gild, and if he takes gold, then the Bank withdraws its notes, and the result is another panic. Sucb, it has been said, is the natural state of trade, which in effect means that it is natural for:, the country to be ruined about every five years. It may be natural under Peel's Bill, but otherwise it is no more so than that we should have every five years a visitation of fever or famine. lie begged to say, in conclusion, that he had not taken up this subject with a view of wishing to have the currency system revised merely for the benefit of one class, but because h e b e li eve d that one interest was equally involved in the matter with ano ther. No doubt the farmers were the particular class that were suffering just now, but if the present sys tem continued to remain in force all classes in a few years would suffer more or less from its injurious effects. If, _therefore, he spoke to them, he spoke to them not only as farmers but as Englishmen, and if they wanted to promote the welfare of the whole British nation, he called upon them to make every constitutional effort to make a revision of that urjust system of money circulation under which we are now suffering. Alone, they would be crushed to the earth, nothing could save them, but if they dis carded all petty selfish motives, and made common cause with the other great interests of the countr), and with all the industrious classes, he doubted not that they would obtain a fair revision of that system which is now paralyzing and destroying all the energies of the land. On . their side they had a great, and eloquent, and powerful friend. The voice of that friend has, from age to age, bet-n raised to succour the depressed, to redress injured right, and to put down oppressive wrong. That voice is the voice of justice; and if they invoked to their aid justice, then they would be able to obtain for themselves redress. Whereas we implore mercy of God, we require justice of man. That, truly, is a most difficult thing to obtain ; but experience shows that it is always to be obtained, when men, discarding all petty, selfish, mean, and sordid feelings, act true to themselves, by endeavouring to obtain the greatest amount of private advantage by seeking, at the same time, honourably, fairly, and impartially, the general good of their native country.—(Cheers.) After a few remarks from the CHAIRMAN, in the course of which he observed that the farmer wanted steadiness in price, and that he should therefore have corn leases; " In the new enger-Rath, or smaller council, after sub tracting the votes of Austria and Prussia, three voices will remain,which will be distributed as follows:—One to the two Eesses and Baden; the second will be divided be tween Nassau, Oldenburg, the two llecklenburgg, Bruns wick, and the Haase Towns; the third among the other small statos, including Huistein, Luxemburg, and Lim burg. Prussia and Austria have two votes each, and each of the other kingdoms one, making nine curie with 11 votes. In the plenum Austria :a nd Prussia will have lo Totes each, and the whole Lumber will be increased from 69 to 80." The same Journal states that the Executive will have at its command 135,000 men, to which Austria will contribute 30,000, Prussia 30,000, Bavaria 15,000, and the other kingdoms each 10,000 men. In the Hessian question it is said Prussia has proposed that it shall be submitted to n court of arbitration of the Baud, as soon as one can be formed, but that the Elector will not accept the proposition.

Mr. WooDwARD moved, " That this meeting is of opinion that the laws which regulate the currency of this country at present materially affect all interests, and are well deserving of the most serious attention of all classes of the community." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Linton, of Sheriff Hutton, and adopted, and thanks having been voted to the Rev. J.

ESCAPE FROM CARLISLE GAOL• Mr. Sabbage has been extremely active during the whole of the week, and has visited every place where it was at all likely to find the prisoners, but without SUCCeSI. On Thursday a letter was received from the head of the police at Hexhatn, stating that a man had been apprehended there, who, from the description given of him, was supposed to have been Alounsey. Barn father, the policeman, was immediately dispatched to that place; but on Thursday night a message from him announced that the captured waif was not the man sought for. It was supposed, however, that the three fugitives passed through Hexham on Satur day evening, and went in an eastward direction. Barnfather, therefore, very properly went forward in the hope of bagging his game. A great deal of gossip is afloat as to this ingenious bursting of strong holds. The man of fits, who did not succeed in making a start, has confessed, it is said, that the es cape was deeply plotted and skilfully executed. He admits that he feigned epilepsy, and it is whispered that he chewed soap in order to simulate froth at the mouth. The opening of the cell door by the watch man was just what was wanted. Pinnock had been in the gaol before, and knew where the ladder was kept, and the weakest point of the wall; they also knew where to find the plank, without• which nothing effectual could have been done. The manner in which poor humpty-dumpty, was left sticking on the wall, a prey to his own reflections and the first policeman who hove in sight, is accounted for by a suspi cion they entertained that he had turned, or would turn, Queen's evidence. It was too bad that so skil ful an actor should have been the only party who reaped no advantage from his talent. The end, how ever, may show that the mere haste the worse speed. It is scarcely possible that these men can long evade the lynx eyes that are on the look-out fur them.

LAUNCH OF TWO EAST INDIAMEN. On Saturday two beautifully -built ships, intended for the East India trade, were launched from the building yards in Baffin-street, on the west side of the Queen's Dock. Eleven o'clock was high-water time, and at that your a vast assemblage of persons, including many ladies, bad collected in the building-yards and within view of the scene of the launcheF, desirous to obtain a sight of the interesting ceremony. The weather proved most propitious for the occasion, being bright as on a May morning, whilst not a ripple ruffled the surface of the magnificent river which was to receive the two noble ships. The first launch, which took place from the yard of Messrs. P. Challoner and Sons, was a ship of 776 tons burthen, new measurement. She has been built, we understand, for - Messrs. Brown and Harrison and Messrs. James Browne and Co. She is constructed of English and Guinea oak, and green heart and East India teak. She is a fine model, and her classi fication at Lloyd's, A 3 for thirteen years, is a gua rantee of her quality. All the necessary preparations having been made, at half-past eleven the daggers were struck, when the noble ship swiftly rushed into the yielding water, amidst loud applause; and, as she slid from the cradle, her name—The Monarchy—was give to her by Miss Browne, daughter of Mr. James Brownie, one of the owners; the ceremony being performed in the usual way, breaking a bottle of wine, suspended by a ribbon, over the bow of the ship. The second launch, of a still larger ship, took place in about a quarter of an hour afterwards from the building yard of Mr. Clarke. The measurement of this ship, new register, is 836 tons; her extreme length 150 feet 2 inches; breadth. 34 fee ; and depth 22 feet 2 inches. Sheis fi igate built, with fill quarter galleries. She is not yet ela , a, , d. We understand she is built for the firm of Shand and Co. After all in front had been made clear, the supporters were withdrawn; hut, owing to a " stiffness" on the cradle, the ship remained stationary, and some scores of huge hammers, wielded by stalwart arms, were called into requi,iiion, and for several minutes produced, to commercial ears, more pleasing music than that obtain able from any " concord of sweet sounds." After a short delay, the magnificent structure was seen to move, and this was announced by is cheer from the per sons in front of her bow, tieing taken up by the surround ing crowd, increased into one loud shout of joy as the ship glided into the element for which she was in tenth d. She was christened The Shand, the baptismal honours being pr rformed by Mrs. Frances Shand. Shortly after the launches the vessels were floated into duck, pre paratory to receiving their fittines.—Liverpool Albion. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EXETER COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. JoRN TYRRELL, Judge.) At this court, on Friday, a case of an extraordinary nature was heard. At the Devon Spring Assizes, for 1849, the Rev. Charles Rookes, LL. D., a clergyman re siding in Exeter, and rector of the parish of Nymet Roland, in the North of Devon, figured as defendant in an action for seduction (" Brookes v. Rookes"), and was cast in 1001. damages. He afterwards obtained a rule for a new trial, on the ground of exce:sive demages, but did not again appear in court. Subsequently proceed ings were instituted against him by the Bishop of Exeter, under the Church Discipline Act. He consented to submit to the jurisdiction of the Bishop. and his Lord ship ultimately deprived him of his living. The Rev. Gentleman now brought an action against Mr. Godfrey, the ,clerk to his solicitor in the ease of " Brookes v. Rookes," laying the damages at 501., the highest sum of which the County Court can take • cognizance, alleging as his ground of action that the defendant had improperly advised him, and had also guaranteed for the sum of 5/. to carry him harmless through the affair. The plaintiff now con ducted his own case in a most extraordinary way; he had subpeeinted the Bishop of Exeter, and the Commis sioners who had sat on the preliminary inquiry, under the Church Discipline Act; but for what object hardly appeared. The Rev. George Martin, Chancellor of the diocese, was the only one of the commission who at tended; and the only interrogatory which the plaintiff put was the extraordinary one--" Whether he did not think that the decision which the Commissioners had come to was against the evidence?" which was of course replied to by an emphatic negative. The solicitor for the plaintiff in the seducion case wa s also called to stat e his opinion as to whether he had not got up the case against the rev. seducer for the purpose of persecution? Other witnesses were called, to whom equally irrelevant (p.n.s tines were put, despite the repeated interference of the Learned Judge, and, after a most unseemly exhibition on the part of the plaintiff, ho at once gave judgment for the defendant, with costs. WEYMOUTH, JAL 19.—The Vriendschap, of Stippe mur, Nantes to Harlingen, went on shore on the West Bay, near Fleet, 17th inst., and lies in a dangerous po,ition; crew and cargo saved; the latter in a damaged state. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. _ Charles Darden, a beershop-keeper, was brought up for further examination, charged with stabbing police constable Davis, F 22, with a pocket-knife, in Holborn, on New Year's-eve. The complainant, who has been ever since a patient in the hospital, a n d seeme d st ill to be suffering severely from the injuries received, stated that he was called to the assistance of a brother con stable on the night i n question, when h e f oun d him struggling with the pri soner near Middle-row. The prisoner, who was drunk, exclaimed, "lam no b—y Englishman, and if you come near me I'll stab you to the heart." Witness tried to persuade him civilly to go home, but he continued very violent, and ma d e severa l thrusts .at witness's brea s t with a pocket-k n if e , w hich cam? in contact with the buttons of his coat. Witness seized him by the arms and called to the other constable to take the knife from him; but before this was done the prisoner plunged it into witne ss ' s thi g h, an d twisted the knife in the wound, exclaiming, ."There, d— you, take that." Other assistance arrived, and the prisoner was eventually se cured, witness being afterwards taken to the hospital in a cab. tiVilliam Macbean, 332 A, the constable who first met the prisoner, repeated his former evidence as to finding him inn-xicated, and as to the violence of his conduct and larr!fu ,ge when spoken to. Mr. i'Vontner, the solicitor who attended for the pri soner, said tat the occurrence was the unfortunate re• sea of drunkenness, his client having no remembrance whatever of any of the circumstances on waking and finding hiwst-lf in custody next morning. The evidence of the officers was confirmed by a man named George Crowe, who happened to be passing when the disturbance commenced. Inspector Dodd expressed his belief that the prisoner, although drunk, feigned to be much more so than he really was when at the police station. Mr. "von, the house-surgeon of Ring's College Hospital, described the wound which was inflicted on Davis, and said it was such a one as might have been caused by a deliberate and violent thrust with a large pockr.t-knife. - Mr. HENRY committed the prisoner for trial, and re fused his solicitor's application to admit him to bail. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. John Williams, alias Greenfield, alias Shallow Jaei, James Cotter, Young Dutch Sam, William Johnson, alien the Irish Barber, Charles Gosling, alias Little Charley, and John Moran, five well-known burglars, were brought betore Mr. Hardwick, charged with having broken into the shop of Mr. John Varley, tailor and woollen•draper, No. 44, Tottenham-court road, and stolen therefrom cloth and other property of the value of 1501., besides about 355. in money. Police-constable Bingham, E 153, said about two o'clock that morning he saw the prisoners Johnson and Gosling loitering about Tottenham-court-road and the by. streets. He followed them unperceived, and noticed that they knocked at the door of No. 44, Tottenham court-road. The door was immediately unlocked and opened, and Cotter and Williams came out, and palled the door to. All four then walked together down Tot tenham-court-road, as far as Percy-street. Witness suspected something wrong had taken place, and he procured the assistaace of another constable. Witness secured Cotter and Gosling, the other constable took Johnson, but Williams contrived to get away. On the way to the station Gosling wrenched him self from witness and ran off. The others were secured and lodged in the station-house. Witness afterwards neat to No. 44, Tottenham-court•roa,d, and woke up the inmates. The door was open at the time, and in the passage he saw the bag and cloth produced in court lying on the floor, Ho examined the lock of the door leading into the shop, and found it had been wrenched off by a jemmy, which was lying near. He looked over the shop and found the till open. On searching Cotter at the station he found one soNeeign, two half-crowns, six shillings, and five sixpences; and on semching Johnson he found half-a-crown, two shillings, and sixpence, some copper money, and a street-door key. Witness after wards proceeded to a low lodging-house in the Seven dials, and apprehended Williams in bed there. On the way to the station Williams said he knew nothing at all about the burglary. Witness knew Williams, but not the other prisoners. Police-constable Bruce, E 82, proved that he saw Johnson and Gosling lurking about Mr. Varley's shop at an early hour that morning. He followed them to Percy. street, and by the directions of the last witness he took Johnson into custody. Police-constable Laogdon, F 42, stated that at 6 o'clock that morning he received information of the burglary, with the description of the prisoners. He im mediately went to No. 12, Cleveland -street, where he knew Gosling lodged, and found him in bed. He told him he was charged with burglary, and he must go to the station. The prisoner said he was innocent of the burglary. Mr. John Varley said he is a tailor and woollen draper, carrying on business at No. 44, Tottenham court-road. He knew Gosling by sight. Last night he was the last up in the house, and retired to b e d a b ou t 11 o'clock, Navin. previously seen that all the door fasten• ings were secure. About 4 o'clock in the morning he was aroused by the constable ringing the bell, and on coming down stairs he found the chain of the door un hooked, and the bolt removed. In the passage he found a large bar , full of cloth, and close by were lying several pieces of cloth. The goods were perfectly safe when he left the shop the previous night. The till had been forced open, and the contents, amounting to 11. 155., abstracted. The lock of the shop door had been broken off. His be lief was that the burglary had been effected by some one of the prisoners secreting himself in the shop at the time of closing, and that when all was quiet in the house the other prisoners were let in. About six o'clock in the morning, in consequence of hearing a noise in the kitchen, he went down stairs, and on looking up the chimney he saw the prisoner Moran sitting in a recess. He pulled him down and gave him into the custody of a constable. The prisoner had on a new coat, which was prosecutor's property. The whole of the cloth produced by the police belonged to him. Hillman, foreman to Mr. Varley, recollected Williams coming to the shop to bargain for a pair of trousers. He showed him several pairs, but he went away without buying any, saying he had altered his mind, and would wait till he could get a better pair. On Tuesday last Gosling came to the shep and asked to see some em broidered waistcoats, but, after looking at a good many, he left the shop without making a purchase. The prisoners, who are well known to the police as belonging to the Hackett gang, were remanded. LAMBETH. Frederick W illiam (alias Captain) Roudedge, principal of the ‘Vigiam and Co. gang of swindlers, was placed at the bar for further examination on a charge of fraudu lently obtaining from Mr. Richard ICilsby Johnson, a glass manufacturer at St. Helen's, Lancashire, the sum of 2131. 16s. Mr. Games attended for the prisoner. The' prosecutor stated that, on the 31st of July last, he received by post the printed circular produced, signed George and William Bruce, Frances -street, Newington, which stated that these persons were in the habit of pro curing good and respectable bona fide London and coun try bills of exchange, for merchants and others who might require them, upon being paid a commission, and offering to furnish him (Mr. Johnson) with such things, if he was in need of them. On receiving this circular he wrote to Mr. Bruce, according to the direction, and in reply to that letter received another circular, which he also produced, offering to let him have bills to the amount of 5001., on the payment of a commis sion of 251 He did not take any notice of this cir cular, but on the 4th of August he received a third, signed George and William Bruce, renewing the offer to forward bills, but he also passed that without notice. On the 10th of August he received a fourth circular, with a note written at the bottom as follows:—" We can for ward you just now some bills which we think would just suit your line of business. (Signed) G. and 'W.B."— On the 15th of this month he (Mr. Johnson) addressed a letter to Messrs. G. and W. Bruce, Frances -street, Newington butts, requesting them to forward a bill for 2001., at six or nine months' date, and enclosed in his letter the half of a 10/. note as the commission. In re- ply to this he received the printed letter now produced, dated 17th of August, 1850, enclosing a bill of exchange for 2131. 165., at four months' date, drawn by William Balfour, of Glasgow, upon Henry Butt, merchant, King-street, London, accepted by that person, and made payable at Messrs. Glynn and Co.'s, the bankers, in Lombard-street. Before receiving this bill he sent the second half of the 10/. note, the commission money, and received a printed letter, ackowledging the re ceipt of the 101., signed Geo. and W. Bruce." The bill sent him he (witness) got discounted at a banker's at St. Helen's, and on its becoming due he enclosed in a registered letter the sum of 2101. in bank notes, and a Post•ofpice order for 4/. 4s. 6d., and forwarded it to Messrs. Goorge and W. Bruce, Frances-street, Newington-butts, with instruc- bons that 2131. 16s. should be sent to the banking house of Messrs. Glyn and Co., to take up the bill, and that the remaining Bs. 6d. was the balance of commission. O❑ the BLI2 of December he received the letter produced, acknowledging the receipt of his remittance, and the letter was signed as before, " Geo. and W. Bruce." Oa the 10th of December he received a notice that the bill was not paid, and on the same day he received the fog lowing letter:— "Str,—l'Ve are extremely sorry to inform you that your bill will be returned unpaid. Our clerk has made a most gross mistake in paying some wrong bills, when no money had been remitted fur that purpose, and those who, like yourself, have behaved so honourably, are un paid; but do not give yourself any uneasiness about the matter. Although we deplore the circumstance greatly. you shall not lose one farthing by us. Wo much regret any inconvenience this may occasion you, and will send any more bids you may require free of any expense, till this unfortunate business is arranged to your satisfaction. We are now going into the country after the parties for our money back again, and on our return you shall hear from us again. "Believe us, yours truly. " GEO. and W. BRUCE. "9th December, 1850." After this he (Mr. Johnson) received a letter in reply to one written by him to Messrs. G. and W. Bruce, stating that they would remit him the money in ten days, but they had forgotten to do so, and he did not hear further after that The bill he had received from the Messrs. Bruce, as they had designated themselves, was still in the hands of the banking firm by whom it had been cashed, and who, of course, held him liable for its amount. The Post-office order produced was the one he had forwarded with the remittance, and the writing at the bottom is in the same handwriting as the manuscript note to the bottom of one of the circulars ho had received, signed " Geo. and W. Bruce." After some further evidence, _ _ The prisoner, who is very much altered in appearance since the last examination, was remanded to a future day THAMES. William East, a hoop-bender, aged 18, of 33, London street, Ratcliffe, who stamds charged w i t h shooting a labouring man named Robert Ablett, b y fi r i ng a gun r fr e o c %b rii i z s i p ri r c e e m s. Inspector Smith, of the K divisio n , sa id t h e inquest on ises, appeared befor e M r. I ngham on h i s the body had commenced that morning and been ad journed. Mr. INGHAN said the business of the Court was very heavy, It was then four o'clock, and there were more cases to dispose of than he could get through that day. It was impossible for him to hear the case of the prisoner until Thursday next, but he would not suffer by the delay, because the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court would not commence till the first week in Fe bruary. The prisoner was upon bail, and he would en large the recognizances until Thursday afternoon. The prisoner's sureties having consented to the enlargement of their recogniaances the prisoner was liberated. The evidence given before the magistrate was repeated before the coroner, and in addition it was stated that the bullet was flund in the deceased's heart, and that the distance from the place where East fired the gun to the deck of the Lively schooner, where the deceased fell mortally wounded, was 240 yards. The distance had been ac curately measured by the police since the prisoner was before the magistrate on Friday.

With the excep tion of about 6,700 quarters of oats and 6,000 loads of oatmeal, the imports from Ireland into Liverpool and Runcorn are scanty, and from abroad the arrivals are on a greatly reduced scale. At our market this morning wheat again slightly receded in value. For flour there
