The statement of accounts having been adopted, some routine business was transacted, and the meeting broke up. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, Mar 7. The very heavy rains we have had for the last two or three days, and the annual stock fair held this day, made the attend ance of farmers and others at market unusually small. The animation manifested in London and other markets of note was fully apparent in the prices here. Wheats sold readily at an advance of 2s to 3s per quarter ; barley also sold quickly at Is per quarter advance, owing to the weather still continuing so favourable for malting. Other articles much the same, and malt was more in demand. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER. Wheat, red Ditto, white. 44s to 48.

Livzitroor., MAY 7.—The arrivals from Ireland and coast. wise o during r ing oatmealth the a week nd 2 past h a with the exception of 3,240 foreign ports we have received a large su pp l y of wheat, 31,626 2s av cs of flour, been trifling. From have, quarters, chiefly from the Baltic and Belgium ; 5,166 quarters of Earle f , 2,044 quarters of oats, 1,312 quarters of rye, 1,356 quarters of beans, 2,086 quarters of peas, 4,796 quarters of Indian corn, and 6,172 sacks of flour. The only exports of importance we have to note are 2,276 quarters of wheat and 18,024 quarters of Indian corn, all to Ireland. The weather having continued extremely cold and unseasonable, notwith standing the liberal supplies the trade has maintained a buoyant tone, and prices have crept up Id to 2d per bushel on wheat, Id per bushel on oats, Id per bushel on barley, and tid per sack and barrel on flour. Indian corn has sold in considerable quantities at 285 6d to 29s per quarter for prime yellow. At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and coun try trade, who purchased largely of wheat, chiefly middling quali • ties, at an advance of fully 2d per 701 b on last Tuesday's prices. Oats, both Irish and foreign, were in good demand, and fully Id per 451 b dearer. Oatmea l realised 63 per load more money in i.he sales made. Barley and beans were in fair request, and Id to 2d per 601 b and 6d per quarter dearer. Peas net with little attention at late rates. Flour moved off more freely than for some time past, and an advance of is per sack and 6d per barrel was generally established. There was only a moderate business done in Indian corn at 28s (3d to 29s per quarter for yellow, and 28s to 28s 6d per quarter for white. LEEDS, MAY 7.—We have a small arrival of grain to-day, owing to contrary wines. Wheat has met a brisk sale. and is fully is per quarter dearer than last Tuesday. Good English barley continues scarce, and is is per quarter dearer. Oats and beans are sold on better terms. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 7. (Sittings in Banco.) CLARK C. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, M.P. In this case a plaint was entered in the county court at Northampton, in the month of February last, to recover from the defendant a sum of 4/. 19s. 9d., as money had and received by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff. The plaint came on for hear ing before Mr. Wing, the judge of tbe county court, some time in the month of March last, and it then appeared that the plaintiff was one of the allottees of the National Land Company, of which the defendant is a director, and that a sum of 51. 4s. was paid by the plaintiff for four shares, which sum, it was not de nied, had found its way to the bands of the defendant, who acted as treasurer of the company. The defence p a rtnership, that the plaintiff and defendant were *part sneet u r s p i n was th e the nn a m t t p h an y c m a n p d a n t : was in the nature of a at the sum demanded was not the balance of any settled or liquidated partner ship account. The judge of the county court, how ever, overruled this objection, and made an order on the defendant for payment of 41. 19s. 9d., and 71. Bs. ld. for costs. Before execution issued the de fendant obtained a writ of prohibition from the Petty Bag-office in Chancery, directed to the judge of the county court of Northampton, the effect of which was to stay the proceedings upon the order made in the county court. Upon a former day in the present term a rule was obtained to show cause why the writ of prohibition should not be quashed, upon the ground that it was issued improvidently, and 'that the order of the judge of the county court was made in a matter not within his jurisdiction. Mr. Saxes now appeared to make this rule abse• notice that cause would The Learned Co unse l su b m itt e d, u p on " Baddeley v.

L ushiNGTON.) The Queen's Advocate was proceeding to enter upon the case, when Dr. HAGGARD, for the Countess, said he could offer n a g defence, and The COURT pronounced for a divorce as prayed. This was the only case of interest brought before the Court. comm MIDDLES EX SESSIONS, m ay 7. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a Bench of Ma gistrates.) The A the morn ing at the Sessions House, C lerkenwel l. There were 83 prisoners for trial, of who m 77 wer e charged with c r o a u y nty of general Middlesex li quarter-sessionsddlese commenced ed this of the peace for felony. The Learned JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, said that on the present occasion there, was a slight increase in the number of pfisoners committed for trial, and he was glad to say that the dawn of a better system for the treatment of juvenile criminals was approaching.' He had great pleasure in inform- ing them that there were now in operation some experiments which he had no doubt would ba very successful, and the success of which he hoped would lead to the adoption of such experiments, as a system —he alluded to the improvement of juvenile criminals by industrial training. When the Parkhurst Prison Act was about being passed s , ,me ten years ego, a clause was introduced by Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Devon, the effect of which was to give the Govern ment the power of granting conditional par dons to such children under fourteen years of age as were taken into the charge of charitable and benevolent institutions with a view to reformation, those institutions, or societies having over such children the same authority as that of a master over an apprentice; and that clause at the time he considered to be a moat valuable one; and for about six mopiths after the Act was passed, it was acted upon and carried out with great success. However the prisons inspectors impressed upon the Government that these children were chil dren of the State, and not fit objects for the exercise of private benevolence; and the consequence of this was, that the clause he referred to became inopera tive. He alluded to this subject in a charge last year ; and though he was far from saying that that allusion had called the attention of. the Government to it, this he could say, and had great pleasure in saying, that the plan was again in operation.. Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State (than whom no man in Eng land desired more to apply an effeCtual remedy to this serious evil), had directed a number of boys to be sent from Parkhurst to the Philanthropic Farm School, at Redhill, :to try the effects of the system pursued there, and unquestionably the results would be of- a most successful character. As showing the manner in which opinions changed on popular sub jects, he might say that this change was now ap proved by the prisons inspectors by whom it was before condemned, and thus it appeared that they now saw the necessity of children being treated as chil dren, and not subjected to a penal discipline. The grand jury then retired. John Thomas Sina,son Jones, who was convicted at the January adjourned sessions of obtaining money by false and fraudulent representations in begging letters, was placed at the bar to receive judgment. It was shown at the trial of the prisoner that he was one of the most notorious begging-letter writers in the kingdom, and had carried on that species of fraud upon the public to a very great extent. He was convicted upon two indictments, and a paint as to venue was reserved for the Court of Criminal Appeal. The convictions were affirmed, and the court had now to sentence the prisoner. After the prisoner had addressed the Court, The Learned JUDGE . said the prisoner was con victed of two frauds • and, within two years, he had been besides convicted three times, and discharged upon accusation four times ; and the history of his life, which the court was in possession of, showed that amore thorough imposter did not disgrace England. The sentence was, that the prisoner be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MiIRY LEBOIVE. The court was much crowded by persons of both sexes, who were anxious to hear the further proceed ings against Charles Jopling, an embosser, living at No. 5, Windsor-court, Strand, and who was brought before Mr. Broughton, on the 30th ult., on the charge of having administered chloroform to a pretty-looking girl, named Mary Anne Elton, his presumed object being that of violating her person. The evidence previously given went to show that the prisoner had been courting the complainant for many months, with the sanction of her aunt, with whom she resided in Camden -town; and that on the night of the 29th ult. they went to a concert at a house in Munster-street, Regent's-park. On the way home he (prisoner) took her down a yard, and, after acting indecently towards her there, he poured something from a, bottle upon his handkerchief, which he held over her mouth. She instantly thrust it from her, calling out for assistance. Police-constable 243 S, took the prisoner into custody. 'lt was further shown that the constable saw the prisoner throw something against a wall, which sounded like glass, and that when searched at the station, prisoner had in his possession a handkerchief, which was wet, and had a most powerful and unpleasant smell. The remains of a bottle were subsequently picked up by the officer, close to the spot where he made the cap ture, and he took the said handkerchief and portion of the phial to Dr. Bermingham, who at once said that there had been a quantity of chloroform in both. The prisoner was remanded until to-day, when Mr. Robinson, solicitor, Hatton-garden, attended for the prisoner ; and Mr. Rivolta, Hart-street, Bloomsbury, on the part of some of the relatives of the complainant, who they considered had been " en- trapped" with regard to the marriage. Mr. Robinson handed in a certificate of marriage, which had been solemnized that morning by licence between the prisoner and the complainant, who had long been acquainted with each other. The nuptials were celebrated at the church of St. Mary-le-Strand. Mr. BROUGHTON, after perusing the marriage cer tificate, desired the complainant to stand up in the witness-box, andshe immediately did so; and "blush ing as became a bride" of only a few hours' duration, bent down her head. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the blushing bride)—You charged the prisoner on a former day with a most serious offence. Is it true that you have been mar ried this morning to him ? Complainant—lt is quite true, sir, I assure you; and the paper you have proves it. Mr. Robinson—Have you contracted the marriage entirely with your own free will and consent ? Com plainant—l have. Mr. BROUGHTON—When was the licence granted ? Complainant—Only this morning, sir, and we got married directly. Mr. Robinson—He kept company with you, did he not, for nine months, and paid his addresses to you as a suitor ? Complainant—Yes. Mr. Rivolta said, he had no doubt that the com plainant had been tampered with, and that she had been forced into the marriage as a matter of expedi ency under the circumstances in which the prisoner stood upon so serious a charge. Mr. Robinson (to complainant)—l ask yon again, was the marriage ceremony performed with your per fect free will and sanction ? Complainant—Most certainly it was. Mr. Robinson—Do you believe that your husband will ill-use you, or do you think that you will be kindly treated by him ? Complainant (looking lovingly towards the prisoner)-oh, I am quite cer tain that he will use me well, and that we shall be happy and comfortable. Mr. Rivolta addressed the magistrate to the effect that undue influence bad been used to get up the marriage with the view' of saving the prisoner from any penalty which might, by the serious offence he had been guilty of, be entailed upon him. Mr. Robinson (to complainant)—l ask you again, have you any complaint to make against the prisoner, your huaband ? Complainant—None, sir, none. Mr. Robinson [(to the magistrate)—She says she has no charge to make against my client, and I sub mit to you, sir, that he is entitled to his discharge. Mr. Rivolta thought that the magistrate would not adopt , such a courses and he trusted that the case would go to another tribunal, inasmuch as a conspi racy with regard to the marriage, which was no doubt celebrated in order to defeat the ends of jus tice in this affair, could be clearly made out. Mr. BROUGHTON—Are you prepared to show that there was any conspiracy of the kind you speak of? Mr. Rivolta—l am not at present prepared to bring proof to that effect, although I have no doubt as to the conspiracy I have spoken of. Mr. Robinson urged that the prisoner was fully and fairly entitled.to be discharged, as the com plet ; ' nant, who was now his wife, could not give eviden ce against her husband. The Learned Gentleman t con tended that his client, who was well to dho In world, had, by marrying the complainant, to do, done all which, as an honourable man, he w and he thought that his Worship would,as bo und taking all the circumstances into consideration, order that the pri soner should be discharged. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that he should take time for consideration in the mattert and he should remand the prisoner, upon the same bail as before, until Tues day next. IVIANCHESTHIL TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY, MAT 7. —We have had a firmer market to-day, with great disposi tion to do business; but in consequence of the advance in prices demanded owing to the confirmation of the accounts of the deficient supply of raw material, a check has, to some extent, been put upon operations. Where contracts were not previously entered into (aa had been done in the case of many of the houses trading with the East), an advance of *d. to id. has been gives for yarns. This, however, will little more than cover the increased cost of cotton, so that the advantage is still very slightly in favour of the producers ; and prices, even at the present advance, may be considered decidedly unremunerative. The goods market is dull. A few purchases for the continental maraet have been made at the advanced rates; and T cloths also participate in the im provement. Buyers, though in some instances forced to con cede higher prices, are still on the whole unwilling to accom modate themselves to the advances sought by the manufac turers.

SlR,—Reports are very rife of the expected arrival of the Emperor.of 'Russia at Warsaw; of his remain ing there (certainly for the benefit of Europe), ti'l Ootober next ; and then of his return to Moscow, to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his acce: sien. At the same time there are other reports, and, unfortunately too true, that numberless arrests are taking place in Poland, in consequence of a pretended conspiracy alleged to have been discovered amongst the Polish youth, in a country overflowing with Ru.,sian soldiers. Perhaps you will think proper to direct the public attention to the fact, that every visit of his Imperial Majesty to that unfortunate country is always pre ceded by similar arrests. The Emperor is mad about conspiracies in Poland; and particularly at the pre sent moment, when he intends to organize Europe according to his own plan, so highly appreciated by some indolent statesmen of an old regime. The Polish insurrection, which, in 1830 had paralyzed all hi jesty's preparations, directed at that time a France, Belgium, and the Duchy of Bruns w comes to his Majesty's mind now, and to pre vent its recurrence, every young Pole Suspected by him to be a conspirator is ordered to be arrested during the intended war. If it should be short, or should matters be arranged by diplomacy, the pre tended conspirators will be allowed to return home with admonitions; if it should be long and unfortu nate, they will be removed to the interior of Russia, as pledges of the good behaviour of the other non arrested Poles.—l am, Sir, your•, &c., THE WELL-INFORMED.

RELIGIOUS- TRACT SOCIETY.—The annual meeting . of this society took place at Exeter-hall on Friday, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird in the chair. The meeting was well attended. After prayer the Chairman addressed the meeting, and stated that there were in this country ten stamped news papers advocating infidelity, with a present circulation of 11,700,000 a year ; six untitaroped, with a circulation of 6,240,000 ; and miscellaneous publications, having a circula tion of 10, :t 00,000 ; and the re were , b es id es, publ i cat i o n s o f the very worst character, having a cireulatio4 of 020,000. To counteract the pernicious effects• which such publications must produce, the society had circulated 500,000,000 tracts, in 1,10 different languages, at an expense of 174,6771., during the fifty years the society had been in existence, and during the same period it had established 9,000 libraries. The report of the committee was then tread and after detailing at great length the operation of the so ciety generally, stated that tracts had been largely distri buted in France, Belgium, Spain, - Germany, Denmark, Bo hemia, Holland, Hungary, Bavaria, and other countries of Europe ; and it then proceeded to say that during the year tracts and other religious publications had been circulated a! home to the number of 3,133,165, at an expense of 3,3001 and had founded 657 libraries. The total circulation during the year was 19,245,441, and their publications had pr , t ' duced receipts to' the extent of 49,5361.

Yesterday this question, that has for some time farmed a topic of considerable interest among citizens of London; was opened before the Committee of the House of Commons to whom the Great Centhil Gas Consumers' Bill, "for better supplying with gas the city of London, and the liberties. thereof, .and places adjacent," is referred, consisting of Mr. Cald well, the Chairman, Mr. Glynne Earle Welby, Mr. James Marshall, Mr. Pilkington; and Mr. Melville. Portal. The Members added to Abe- Committei; as having constituently 'rower H anin ter:mstl,,tinsl. Lord.heciues (t r ; e Mr. Thompson, Stuart, Marylebone ; Sir W. Molesworth,, South wark ; and Sir James Ddke, .London,'of whom the latter 'only was present. The proceedings **ere commenced -by calling over the titles of. the petitions against the Bill, itibOngst upwards of some twenty of which thi.re were peti tions from the Chartered G.iis Light Conipaly s , the Light Company, the city of London Gas Commercial Gas Company, 'the British Gas Light Company, the Imperial Gas Company, ttie Inde pendent Gas Light and Coke Company, Red from various parishes and rate-payers. Counsel for the promoters of the measure were Mr. Sergeant Wrangbaru, Q C., Mr.- Hill, Q.O , Mr. Taylor, and Mr. Wild; fur the opponents .of it, the City of London and the London Chartered Gal 'Como }Any, Mr. Talbot, Q C., Mr. Hope, QC., Mr. H: Warren, Mr. Corrie, and Mr. Burke. Mr. Sergeant WRAIiGHAMi Q.C., in opening the proceedings, said that the object of the promoters was to establish their gas works at Bow-coinmon, and to limit the district they proposed to light to-the city of London, and to the immediate district through which their mains passed. The lighting of the inter mediate districts arose out of the circumstance of the promoters, upon economical grounds, determining on having their works at a distance from the City, where_not only a site could be obtained at a much cheaper . rate, but where the establishment of gas works was far Jess objectionable than within the range of the City, and it would have been absurd to have carried the mains all the way into the city with out supplying, as indeed was urged upon them, the in habitants along the route that they traversed. The pre sent measure had originated in the gene* and almost unanimous feeling within the thy of London, that a new gas company was indispensably necessary- to secure for the citizens an ample supply of good and cheap gas. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to give a. brief history of the various gas companies started in London, and pointed out some of their ano malies and defects. He then entered into a narrative of the rise and progress of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, since its first starting in 1846, under the spontaneous auspices of the citizens. Tao total number of persons who had entered into con tracts to take the Central Company's gas was 6,000, and their consumption of gas would amount to 250 million cubic feet of gas per annum. The capital for affording this supply was limited in the first instance to 150.0001., to be extended to 250,0001. On the with drawal of the Bill lastsession, a few persons withdrew from the contract, it being optional. The petition that had been presented to the Commissioners of Sewers had been signed by 10,000 out of 16,000 inhabitant house holders in the 10 City parishes in favour of the Central Company's Bill, and the Commissioners of the City Court of Sewers, without their first obtain ing an Act of Parliament, had given their permis sion to take up the pavement and lay down the mains and pipes in order that no time may be lost. Their works at Bow-common were now going on rapidly, and there was more than 136,0001. already subscribed. They expected after twelve months' working to re duce from 4s. to 3s. 4d., and eventually to as. The works now constructing for 136,0001. would enable them to manufacture 320 million cubic feet of gas, but this by leakage would be diminished one-sixth, or 53,333 cubic feet ; so that they would have 270 millions for sale. The total annual cost of producing and distributing this quantity was 44,7091., and there would be a surplus, after paying ten per cent., of 8,6241., available for further reduction. The Learned Counsel concluded by calling Mr. Charles Pearson, M.P., who was giving evi dence in favour of the measure, when the speaker, at four o'clock, was announced to be at prayers, and the Committee adjourned to this day at twelve o'clock.

It app ears that a Mr. Jack, a farmer iu Gleaneagles, after attet.ding the market which was held during the day, went into the house of Mrs. Drummond, his sister, who resides in Auchterardar, and with whom a brother of Jack's also lodges, and that there some words took place between the two brothers re garding some family matters which had never been satisfac torily settled ; when ou a sudden, during the dispute, Jack pulled a spring dagger from his pocket, rushed upon his brother, and stabbed him to the heart. The unfortunate man only survived four or five minutes, which shows that the weapon must have entered some of the vital parts. Jack was immediately apprehended and brought into Perth by the railway in the evening. He was a number of years ago eon. fined for some time in a lunatic asylum, but we have heard nothing to lead us to believe that he has h a d any return of the malady of late. —Edinburgh Courant. h car uc tioo a duros, gOOO , I tO 55 !IVO' 4 0 " there ca, 1314 ns a re clsr eci pr. 60 1 , - on 16 " rjorteo, , rlvic it. r 5. oistlf Esq" ter of queen Jr. R. , s q. ° ritlge" . a . :tr
