• ,„ 4r 1 :1 14/OtttOis, PORTUGAL. ENING OF THE CORrEs-SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. The following is a copy of the Queen of Portugal's spech upon the openilig of the Cortes at Lisbon on ihel sth instant : " Worthy Peers of the Realm, and Gentlemen Deputies of the Portuguese' Nation,— " I felicitate myself with you upon thus seeing ,ou, the national representatives, surround my Throne as its most secure support, and upon whose dedication I?,confide for carrying out with firmness and prudence the great work of reform which was proclaimed, embraced by tha nation, and cordially alopted by me. " The revision of the fundamental law of the State being thus acknowledged es a necessity, it became my first duty to consult the nation by means of a new election. " The non• existence of a fundamental law to as sure the freedom of election c3nstrained ine to assume extraordinary powers for its regulation, and the supreme law of public safety imposed upon .me the duty of providing by my authority that Wh ic h it was no longer possible for the Cortes to do in the then existing state of the country. new decreed the revision, and provided that the new deput ies should be elected with powers necessary for its ac complishment. w ith the . . daty of lay " My Ministers are charged law additional to the ing before you a project of Constitutional Charter of the *Monarchy, which you will in your wisdom discuas, in order that it may, d u ly reform ed . in those articles with my sanction, be which experience has shown the indispensable neces sity of being corrected and perfected, for the better abl guarantee of the lib unaltererty oe f the representative Mo narchy, and the principles in which that c h arter sou ght to establish and constitute it. " The Prince Royal, my most beloved son, having attained the legal age, will publicly take in this Cortes the solema oath t o th e C ons tit u ti o n of the S ta te, which I have the glory to assure you he will know how to maintain as my son, and the grandson of Don Pedro IV. " The unavoidable delays of the electoral process, the urgency of circumstances, and the cogent neces sity to provide promptly for various branches of the public administration, authorized me to use the ex e,epional powers to decree some measures of manifest utility, which have laid the foundation of reform and will facilitate its efficacy. " My Ministers will lay those measures before you, with the special reasons for their adoption and the Foj-cts of law necessary for their completion, and for the coherency and efficacy of the reform I pride myself upon having commenced, and which I rely upon securely completing with the aid of the national representatives. "Gentlemen Deputies of the Portuguese Nation,— " The necessities of the public finances c alled for sacrifices from all. That they may not be sterile, it becomes necessary to organizs with such pe rseve r i ng economy our expenses, and reform to such point our fiscal system, that th e employis and creditors of the State may be manifestly secure that such violent sacrifices will never be called for again. "With a b e tt e r distribution of political burdens, a better regu'.ation of the imports, and of the me th o d o f taxation and collection , it is not the less urg en t we should place ourselves in a position to provide for other reproductive expenses, to foment industry in com merce, agriculture, and th e sc i ences an d ar t s , w hi c h promote and direct civilization. In the general go vernment and admi n i s t rat i on o f t h e country , i n i ts ecclesiastical affairs, in the establishments of benefi cence, and in the qualifications, promotions, and reforms of the employes of the State, it becomes ne '-'ls,s.ry to mike many improvements, which expe rience calls for, and for which the intervention of the Legislature is requisite. " The increased facility of public transit, and the means of communication, claim the first place in your attention. A. project of law to authorise the Go vernment to construct a railroad to unite us with the rest of E , arope ; vivifying the internal traffic of the country, and reinstating Lisbon as the central empo rium of the two worlds, between which it is situate. " - Worthy Peers of the Realm, and Gentlemen Deputies of the Portuguse Nation,— " Our vast possessions in Africa, and those in Asia and in Oceania have my most careful solicitude. I reiinstated the ancient Uultra-Marine Council to give constant regularity and stability to their com plicated adcninistratiou. I have adopted, extraordi narily, measures to provide for some of their most urgent wants. The principal are the promotion of their closer con nextion with the metropolis, the increase of our navy, the promotion of industry, of civilization, and of the light of the Gospel, fur all these means are requisite, angi it is indispensable that the mother country sbould cultivate, morally and physically, those vast Vac's, from whence it must derive incalculabte advan tages, and the surest guarantee of our existence and national independence. " I have renewed negotiations with the Holy See for the definitive solution of some points pertaining to the spiritual weal of the people, and to the dignity of the Portuguese Crown. I continue to receive from all friend* and allies the most secure proofs of friend ship and good harmony. With his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias I celebrated a treaty to establish securely our mutual interests in commerce and navigation. I associated myself with the French Republic in a convention to recognise the rights of literary property in the same way as had been dove by Sardinia. England and Hanover have followed the same curse, and thus will be established ere long a right common to all civilized people. " I rely upon the patriotism of the Cortes to enable my Government to do its duty, realising the hope of ~ ,ho country. " The session is declared open." BELGIUNI. BRUSSELS, DEC. 22. ADOPTION OF THE HOLLANDO-BELGIAN TREATY. The debate with closed doors on the Hollando- Belgian treaty was terminated on Saturday night, by the Second Chamber. After the public sitting the Chamber proceeded to vote, and the treaty was adopted by a majority of 31 to 21. The Chamber then separated. Members of the dissolved French Assembly arrive here daily. It is probable that M. THIERS'3 stay will be protracted, for it is E, aid that he intends completing and printing his new work, "Vingt Pages d'Histoire," before his departure for England. Although the communication between Belgium and France has bee n restored on its normal footing, no Belgian newspapers are yet admitted into France, and every traveller is compelled to exhibit his passport to five Government offices before he is permitted to enter the French territory. - Small divisions of French mounted troops are sta tioned along the frontier from Armentieres to Bail leul. Our Government has likewise placed a regiment of the Mounted Rifle Brigade and several brigades of gendarmes in the villages bordering on the French territory. DENMARK.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—Therw is no new feature to notice in our market today as cotnnared with the date of our last report. I n yarns and goods at large, we continue to have a quiet and moderate huffiness, generally at the rates than currant, which, in mule yarns and some of th e lighter cloth s , wera ra th er lower than in the preceding week ; the value of some counts of mule only, Ili O. 40's, betraying a further slightly adverse b bias to.dfty. Reel e d water tw i st, however, being still in request for China, and rather Germa n more so than it wa3 for j. is more fir m l y held th a n b e fore and indeed inclines upwards in some counts. The makers of the lower numbers of warps are hardly disposed to accept terms which, in many instances would have been agreed to a few days back ; but, in warps of most kinds, the tendency, if there 'be any change, is rather against sellers. The better qualities of most descriptions of goods are ren dered remarkably firm by th e co ntracts in hand; in. As regards deed China s hi r ti ngs are rat h er higher. the raw material, we learn by the Asia that the New York market was rather dearer, and that advices from this side of the 26th November had imparted increased firmness to that of New Orleans ; the estimates of the crop remaining much the same as before, though some parties were less inclined than before to the highest amount. Roc lIDALE, Mo „ A y.-....ThiS is generally called the last market in the yea r, being the Monday before Christmas-day; and the first or new market is held on the first Monday after old Cbristmas-day, or the 6th of January. We have had very little doing, both in the wool and piece market; but former prices have been fully maintained. MACCLESFIED, TUESDAY.—We have little change to report in the market for manufactured goods, buyers only purchasing sufficient for immediate wants ; but after stock-taking with the wholesale houses, it is expected there will he more activity perceptible in this department. The dyers are more freely supplied with work, which is a good indica tion--Thrown silks continue to be inquired for at former rates, and the stocks of useful descriptions are becoming scarce • but as yet prices are without much alteration. This, however, cannot long con tinue, as thrown silks are much below their relative i value, as compared with the raw material. Raw iilcs---The market continues active. The sales reported for the pait month comprise about 5,000 bales of China ; and the business done in Italian has been considerable. Holders are now asking an ad vance of 6d. to Is. on China, and is. to 2s. per lb. on Italian. Bengal silks have also participated in the movement ; and the market for Brutia has advanced 6d. to is. per lb. At the public silk sale held at Liverpool on Monday last the attendance of buyers was large, and the China silk brought forward, amounting to 100 bales, was all sold, at an advance of 61. to 9d. per lb. HALIFAX, SATuaDAY.—There have been more merchants in our Pi.ce Hall to-day than for many weeks past ; but they have not purchased freely. The prices they offered were too low to be generally ac cepted. In yarns there is more doing, and the mer chants are offering better prices. The wool market is quiet, without any change in the quotations ; and there is a pretty confident expectation that things will be better after the turn of the year. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has not been a large amount of stock disposed of to-day, but the at tendance of buyers has been mors numerous than for the last few weeks. The prices offered by the mer chants have generally been considered low, and conse quently the sales effected have been of a limited cha racter. Articles for exportation have been more in ' quired for, and a few orders for the American markets given out. Compared with the same time last year, the market has not been equal by a large amount. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been fist to day. On Saturday, however, a fair business was done, considering we are so near the close of the year. During the past week there has also been r rather more done in th e wa r e h ouses , particularly for 1 the London houses. THE SUN, LONDON, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 23. (Before Mr. Commissioner Houton)) IN BE losrAa WESTLEY. The bankrupt was a bookbinder, of Playhouse yard. This was the last examination meeting. Mr. LAWRANCE, for the bankrupt, asked for an adjournment. The accounts were in course of pre paration by Messrs. Harding and Pullen, the bank rupt's accountants, but being very voluminous, it had not been practicable to file them in time for this meeting. Mr. LINKLATER, for the assignees, could not con sent to an adjournment at the expense of the estate. Mr. LAWRANCE suggested that the question of costs might stand over. The COMMISSIONER said he would give the bankrupt liberty to file an affidavit showing that he was pre vented by circumstances from filing the accounts in time for this meeting, otherwise the adjournment would be at his own expense. Mr. MURRAY tendered a proof for 5,9001., on be half of Messrs. Glyn, the bankers, who had discounted bills for the bankrupt to a large amount. Mr. LINKLATER suggested that the proofs should be taken only in respect of those bills which were already overdue, as for anything that appeared to the contrary the bills still running might, on arriv ing at maturity, be paid by some of the other parties who were liable thereon. His HoNouu admitted the proof for the whole of the bills ; and observed that if payment for any por tion of them should be obtained from other sources, the proof would be diminished to that amount. The bills must be set out in a schedule to the proof, with a memorandum requiring them to be produced before the payment of any dividend. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTBERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 22. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Msama.) James Wilkinson and John Ackroyd were indicted for having, on the 17th of last November, unlawfully wounded Robert Mortimer, at Leeds. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Wheelhouse prosecuted, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins (who was specially retained) and Mr. Overend defended the prisoner Wilkinson. Ackroyd was undefended. This case arose in consequence of, and was connected with, a turn-out of the workmen of Messrs. Kitson and Co., of Leeds, engineers, in whose employment the prosecutor was engaged as a smith and forgeman after the turn-out. The prisoner Wilkinson had for merly- been in Messrs. Kitson's employment until the turn-out took place, a few months ago. The prose cutor refused to join in the turn-out, and continued in Messrs. Kitson's employment, and in consequence became very obnoxious to those who had been his fellow-workmen. It became necessary for Messrs. Kitson to employ other workmen from a distance, and those men and the men who refused to join the turn- out were called " knob sticks," and " black sheep," and were insulted by the workmen who had joined the strike in going to and returning home from work. The annoyance proceeded to such an extent that in October last it was found necessary to place police officers near the works of Messrs. Kitson, to protect the men and preserve the peace. This state of things continued till the morning of the 17th of last Novem ber, as the prosecutor was going to his work about half-past six o'clock, and when about 100 yards from Lis own house, which was at a place called Richmond hill, he was set upon by three men standing in the road, one of whom he saw was the prisoner Wilkin son, whom he had known for 14 years. Wilkinson struck him a violent blow with a bludgeon, which knocked him down into the hedge-bottom ; another of the men, whom the prosecutor believed to be called Holmes, then advanced towards him, as the prosecutor thought, intending to strike him, and being armed with a revolver pistol for his protection, in conse quence of these repeated attacks, pulled it out of his pocket and fired one of the barrels at the man he took to be Holmes. The men then all ran away, the pro secutor firing three or four barrels after them as they ran, and shouting out " Murder" at the same time. The prosecutor then returned home, having received a severe contusion at the right side of his head. Information was immediately given to the police, and Wilkinson and Holmes were apprehended. Ackroyd was subse quently taken to the House of Correction at Wake field for another offence, and while there the prosecu tor was sent for, and pointed him out as the third man who had attacked him from about a dozen other men. Holmes was now admitted as approver by the Crown, and from his evidence it appeared that a day or two before the prosecutor was attacked by a man named Wainhouse, a member of the Trades' Union, asked him if he could get another man to go with one of the turn-outs and attack the prosecutor, and stated that money was no object, and that he got the prisoner Ackroyd to assent to go with him ; that Ackroyd, Wainhouse, and himself then went to a public-house kept by a man named Bobby Russell, where they met a man named Richard Bailley, who paid him and Ackroyd 108. each to attack the prosecutor, and that the Saturday before the attack was made they re ceived an additional ss. each for the same object, and they were told to meet the prisoner Wilkinson at Chapel corner at Richmond- bill on the morning of the 17th of November. They accordingly went there and met Wilkinson waiting. They then went towards the prosecutor's house, and he came out in about ten minutes. Witness then attacked the prosecutor, and was shot at and wounded by him in the thigh, and was afterwards taken over to Doncaster by Wainhouse to get his wound dressed there. To avoid suspicion, on his return to Leeds Bailey gave him two sovereigns, and told him to say, if necessary, that he was going to call on the prosecutor on the morning in question to ask for work, when he met the prosecutor, and his offensive and haughty bearing to him so an noyed him that he lifted his stick and struck him, and that the prosecutor then fired at him. This witness was severely cross-examined, and appeared not to bear the best of characters, and some discrepancies were elicited in his evidence. Mr. Sergeant Winuris, for the defence, contended that the prosecutor was mistaken in the prisoner Wilkinson's identity, and that the evidence of the approver Holmes, from his character, could not be relied on. His L ORD3IIIP having summed up. Thejury found both prisoners Guilty. His LOADSHIP, in passing sentence, said it could not be endured that peaceable persons should be pre vented from going to their work, and be put in peril of their lives by a combination of turn-out workmen. Had the prosecutor died from the severe injury which he had received the prisoners would have been guilty of murder. Such conduct was setting at defiance the law of England, and was setting up a most oppressive tyranny. The sentence of the Court was, that they should each be imprisoned one year. The prisoner Wilkinson fainted on hearing the sentence, and was carried out of the dock. The cases tried before Mr. Baron Platt during the day were devoid of interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dec. 23. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, West minster.) THE QUEEN V. ERANCATELLI AND ♦NOTHER. Mr. BALLANTINE said that in this ease there been a bill of indictment preferred against two young gentlemen of the name of Francatelli and Adams, on a charge of having :attempted to pick pockets at one of Jullien's promenade concerts. That bill had been ignored by the grand jury. Now, ;he had been in structed to defend one of those gentlemen, and his Learned Friends Sergeant Witkins and Mr. Parry had been instructed to appear for the other ; and the object he had then in view, in bringing the case under the no tice of the Court, was that the matter might attract such attention as that it might obtain insertion in the newspapers, through which medium the original ac • cusation against them had appeared, and had so gone forth to the public. It happened that Superintendent Pearce, of the F division, was in attendance, and that officer was perfectly satisfied that the parties against whom the charge bad been made were young men of respectability, and that the accusation as against them must have arisen entirely from a mistake. Yesterday there were many noblemen =and gentlemen in court, who had come there for the purpose of giving them a character. The Learned JUDGE said that he possessed no power as to getting the insertion of anything in the public newspapers. There was only one man, of whom he knew at the present time who had control over the press, and that was Louis Napoleon ; and that indi vidual appeared not only to have the power of com pelling the insertion of that which he wished, but he had that which would seem to be far better—he pos sessed the power of preventing the insertion of any thing he pleased. Mr. BALLANTINI rejoined, that he was anxious that what be had now stated in reference to this case should find its way into the columns of those jour nals wherein the original accusation had appeared, as a simple act of justice to the parties against whom the charge had been made. Mr. PARRY begged to add, to what bad fallen from his Learned Friend, that several witnesses had been in P na ra attendance yesterday to speak to the character of te among whom were the Earl Howe and Viscount Castlereagh. With regard to the charge itself, th ere cou l d b e no doubt but that it bad orig mistake on the part of the police. tend ca in lli, The Learne dm IiUDGIE said be entertained no doubt at t but that th e r would be notic e d by the press. Elizabeth Park er was indicted e n fur g ui haling nea s i a stolen silver,a gold dket watch and o f other th e v articles, the pro perty of Jliseph Maryati in his dwelling home. There was a second indictment against the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a servant em ployed by the housekeeper of Mr. Marryat, of Rich mond-terrace, Whitehall. About the middle of October that gentleman left town for Wales, and on unpacking his luggage missed a gold watch from a bag in which he had placed it; he communicated his loss to his housekeeper, who made strict inquiries as to what had become of it. The prisoner re peatedly denied all knowledge of the watch, but on its being found that her box contained a number of articles which had been pilfered from another servant, she was accused of having stolen it, and eventually went with the housekeeper to a place where she pro duced a duplicate of a watch, pledged at a pawn broker's in Stratton•ground, Westminster, which proved to be the one lost by Mr. Marryat. The prisoner was convicted. The second indictment charged her with stealing the articles found in her box. •••• The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to im prisonment for eight months with hard labour. Ellen Crawfield, 22, and Julia Magarer, 30, were indicted for a robbery from the person. Tne prosecutrix, Elizabeth Corgan, was standing looking at some bonnets in a shop window in Leices ter-square, when the prisoner Crawfield placed her self on one side of her and Magner on the other. While the latter attracted her attention by making some remarks upon the qualities of the flowers with which the bonnets were trimmed the other picked her pocket of her purse, but they were detected by a woman who had been induced to watch the prisoners from the fact of their having made a somewhat simii,r attempt upon herself. The Learned JUDGE left the evidence to the consi deration of the jury. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. The officers proved that both the prisoners had been before convicted. Magner had been sentenced to six months' hard labour for " smashing," and Crawfield had suffered a sentence of six months and one of five months. The Learned JUDGE sentenced them to be trans ported for ten years. Crawfield then burst into tears, and crying in a piteous manner said, she did not care for the sentence as far as she herself was concerned, but she had two poor children who had no protector but herself, and when she was gone they would be cast friendless on the world. Would his Lordship allow her children to go out of the country with her ? If he would she would be content. _ . The Learned JUDGE said he could not listen to ,hat. She had better apply to the Secretary of State. The prisoners were then removed, THE TOUTERS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL COURTS. The Learned JUDGE, in the course of the morning, stopped Mr. Ribton as he was addressing the jury, and in reference to a topic touched upon by that gentleman, said he wished it to be distinctly under stood that there was no necessity whatever for the intervention of a third person between counsel and prisoners. Every barrister, not only in the criminal courts of the metropolis, but on the circuits, who was not otherwise engaged, was bound to take up a case if called upon by the prisoner in the dock, and also to receive the fee from him. There was not the slightest necessity for the interference of any attor ney, or of any person who went about in the cha racter of an attorney's clerk, and considering what had recently occurred in that court, he wished it to be distinctly understood that counsel could be in structed by prisoners themselves ; and if this were generally known the relatives and friends of poor un fortunate prisoners might avoid being plundered and robbed by the scoundrels called " touters," who prowled about the courts and got their money from them under the pretence of affording them legal as sistance. James Nicholls, aged 46, Johanna Lintel, aged 30, and Jane Walsh, aged 21, were indicted, charged with having unlawfully and maliciously wounded Frances Barrett Nicholls, the wife of the first-named prisoner. As soon as the case was called on, two foreigners, who manifested great interest in the matter, asked questions first of one person and then of another, and at length they spoke to Mr. PAYNE, the barrister, who presently addressing the Court said, that the foreigners had just in formed him that when this case had been before the magistrate at the police court in Marlborough. street, they (one being the master of the male prisoner) had given a person who had represented himself as an at torney the sum of 51. to conduct the man's defence and to provide the assistance of counsel. Now, it so happened that not only bad no counsel been retained, but the attorney, if he was an attorney, himself was not in attendance. Under these circumstances the foreigners were very anxious to know if the trial could not be postponed. The Learned JUDGE would gladly have acceded to the request had it not been that this was the last case they had to try. Only let the foreigners bring this attorney before that Court, and they should quickly see the manner in which he would deal with him upon their case being made out against him. The trial, however, could not be postponed; it must at once proceed. The prisoner Lintott pleaded guilty. It appeared that the male prisoner and his wife bad been married somewhere about thirteen years since, but that having separated seven weeks after the mar riage they had rarely come together again. Not long since they, however, lived as man, and wife for five weeki, at the expiration of which time they once more separated. Upon the occasion of the assault now complained of the wife went to the place where her husband was living with the prisoner Lintott, to abk him why he had not sent her the money he had promised her, when Lintott commenced an attack upon her. In the course of the fracas the wife had her head cut by blows administered by Lintott and Walsh, and her husband struck her violently on the chest. The blows were of such a character as that she had necessarily been the inmate of a hospital for a fortnight. Mr. PAyNE said that he was unwilling that fo reigners should arrive at the conclusion that it was a custom in this country that they might pay 61. for the defence of themselves or a friend, and then be left without any one to appear for them, and had, at their request, watched th e ev id ence. H e now cross-examined the wife, but was unable to shake her testimony. The wife's statement was confirmed by her sister. Mr. PAyes, on the part of the husband, said that this had been, from what he had been able to glean, a " woman's row," and that all the husband had done was merely, in his endeavour to separate the women, to push his wife awsy- The Learned Counsel com mented in strong terms upon the system which would appear to have been f or so me time in practice, of per sons prowling about p ol ice courts and the sessions and obtaining m oney from p ar ti es i n th e cha racter of attorneys, and undert a ki ng to retain counsel for their friend's case, and then having got the money, not only not to secure the aid of counsel, but, as in the present instance, not to appear them selves. Anything more disgraceful he had never heard of. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evi dence, The jury retired , and on their return gave a ver dict of Guilty against the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE sentenced Lintott to impri sonmentlab, Nicholls to imprisonment with fur hard labour. and 'Walsh to impri sonmento r sx w efor kd sone iatmrhd hardn t h, ouralla also labour, sumed POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mrs. Dawson, alia s r Phoebe b 13a e 1 near h mada eney, iala-hill, , was ather advanced in years, e brought up before Sir Peter Laurie for further exa mination relative to the charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury in the year 1833, by making affidavit in Doctors' Commons that she was the daughter and only next of kin of the late Mrs. Eliza Elam, widow of Lieutenant Joseph Elam, of the Bth Garrison Battalion. Mr. Huddlestcn, instructed by Mr. Cotterell, ap peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine, with Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the prisoner. Mr. Huddlestone stated, that merely sufficient evidence was taken at the last examination to ask for a remand to meet the convenience of Mr. Palmer, a respectable solicitor, concerned for Mrs. Dawson, and he therefore, in his absence, proposed to call such witnesses as would render a cross-examination un necessary, instead of bringing other witnesses from Ireland and the country, who would prove the most important facts on a future occasion. Miss Georgina Elam was then put into the witness box, and her former evidence read over, after which she said she first became acquainted that her name was not Dawson by a legacy left her by Lord For tarlington in the name of " Elam." W. Brooks, a clerk in the registry of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, said he produced a bond of administration to the goods of Eliza Elam, dated the 12th of October, 1833. The attesting witness was dead, but witness identified his handwriting. He also produced from the same registry the Administra tion Act book for the year 1833. The entry on the 15th of October of that year was as follows :—" Ad ministration to the goods, chattels, and effects of Eliza Ram, formerly of Lower Brook-street, in the county of Middlesex, and late of Curzon-street, Mayfair, in the same county of Middlesex, deceased, granted to Pt cebe Blakeney, spinster, the natural, lawful, and only child of the said deceased." Sworn " under 5 0001." The document conta ined a notation, dated " February 23, 1835," stating that the amount was on that day re-sworn at " under 4,0001." More this act was granted, the person entering into the bond was sworn before the surrogate. Witness also produced the warrant dated October, 1833, containing the form of oath administered by the surrogate, and signed by him. The oath was dictated to Phoebe Blakeney before she subscribed it. The administration bond was then handed to Miss Elam, who swore to the signature being Mrs. Daw son's handwriting. Dr. William Calvary Curtis, surrogate to the judge of the Prerogative Court, said that in October, 1833, he swore a person calling herself PheOe who delared that Eliza Elam was a widow, and died intestaie on the 14th of S-ptetnbeT, 1833, and that she, Phcebe Blakeney, was the nNtural lawful: daughter and only next of kiu to the deceased Mrs. Elam. Mr. lluddlestone put in the birth and burial cer tificates of Mr. and Mrs. Elam, showing that the latter died on the 28th of September, 1833, and then 48 years of age, and if alive at the present time, would be about 66 years of age. He also stated that he would 'how, by Mrs. Robinson, the schoolmistress, that Mrs. Elam, Mrs. Dawson, and herself, were all of the same age, so that the defendant could not pos sibly be the daughter of Mrs. Elam. He also put in the baptismal certificate of Miss Elam, dated Novem ber 14, 1831, showing that she was born on the 26th of January, 1828. - Mr. Iluddlestone said be intended to apply for a further adjournment, to bring forward the other and more important witnesses, but whom he had not troubled hitherto in consequence of the expense at tending such a proceeding, as some of them lived in Ireland, and others were to be brought from great distances in the country. Mr. Ballantine said he had no objestion, in he was fully prepared to meet the charge. His instructions . from Mr. Palmer were, that there should be no con cealment of any kind, and in order that no further litigation might take place which could only be a species of persecution to the one party and great ex• pens , 3 to the other, he at once admitted everything that had been alleged against Mrs. Dawson, with the excep'ion of the statement that she was not the daughter of Mrs. Elam. He was in a position to prove that Mrs. Dawson was, in fact, what she had sworn to be, namely, the only natural and lawful daughter of Mrs. Elam. He held in his hand a cer tificate, dated as far back as 1798, showing that Eliza Good married a Robert Blakeney, and he would prove that Mrs. Dawson was the fruit of that marriage, and that Miss Elam was neither the daughter of Robert Blakeney nor Mrs. Elam, nor, in deed, of Lieut. Elam. Mrs. Elam was separated from her husband for several years, and during that time she lived with the late Lord Portarlington, and had no communication whatever with her husband. She was about that time 53 years of age, and in order to obtain money from Lord Portarlington, she actually pnrchased this child (Miss Elam) from a peasant, and palmed it off upon his Lordship as his child, he being at that period in his 624 year, the consequence of which was that at his death he left her a legacy of 5,000/. It was never pretended for an instant this Miss Elam was the child of Lieutenant Elam, and as far as Mrs. Elam was concerned, he was prepared to prove by the certificate and other evidence that Mrs. Dawsom was the only daughter by Robert Blakeney, or any one else. He was instructed by Mr. Palmer to pledge himself to prove every statement he had made, and he therefore challenged inquiry into every point. He made this statement at this stage of the proceedings that it might be inquired into, so that all the parties on the other side might not say they had been taken by surprise. Mr. Huddlestone readily believed that such were Mr. Ballantine's instructions, but they were sadly at variance with his information. Sir P. LAURIE—If the defendant calls herself Mrs. Dawson, who was Mr. Dawson?—Mr. Huddlestone —The fact appeared that the defendant bad lived with with the late Lord Portarlington, whose family name was " Dawson;" and in consequence she had as- Mr. Ballantine said he believed that was really ,he case. Mr. Huddlestone then said—From Mr. Ballan tine's extraordinary statement it would seem that Lord Portarlington first lived with the mother (Mrs. Elam), and then with the daughter (Mrs. Dawson). Mr. Ballantine said that was not the case, for Lord Portarlington first lived with the daughter, then with the mother, and afterwards with the daughter again. Sir P. LAURIE asked if the present Lord Portar lington was aware of these proceedings. Mr. Palmer, who bad been solicitor to the late Lord Portarlington, and now acted for the defendant, said he did not think his Lordship knew anything of this matter at all. Sir P. LAURIE said, that from respect to his uncle's memory Lord Portarlington should have some repre sentative in court to meet these extraordinary state ments made by Mr. Ballantine. Mr. Ballantine said, he was fully prepared to prove every word he had uttered. Mr. Palmer said, neither Mr. iluddlestone nor Mr. Cotterell knew what he did relative to this affair ; and they would find this was only an attempt to extort money. He quite exonerated Miss Elam from any such intention, hut these proceedings were instituted in the first place by parties at present in the back ground, and he was sorry, for Miss Elam's sake, that such disclosures should have been made so public. He had known her since she was a child, very young ' indeed, and at Mrs. Elam's death, knowing what he did, he was surprised at Mrs. Dawson's charitable feeling towards Miss Elam, in bringing her up and educating her, at her own expense, as one of her ow❑ children. Mr. Ballantine said, that whatever annoyance such an expesg might give to Lord Portarlington he could not avoid it, as he was bound to make the statements he had done. Sir P. LAURIE then remanded the case, and ad mitted the defendant to bail in the same securities of 5001., and her own recognizances of 5001. BRISTOL DONKEYISII. Many of the merchants and professional men of our city were agreeably surprised, while bending their steps homeward towards Clifton, between the hours of four and five on Monday last, at meeting a large batch of Bloomers walking in College-green. The party consisted of four gentlemanly-looking young men, each supporting a juvenile brace of these elegant creatures. The young ladies, who by the way, were all good looking, personated in their dress the four seasons. Two of them represented spring, and wore pale green trousers, richly embroidered vests of the same colour, and dark green velvet dresses reaching to the knees ; they had gigantic gills, and light green Joinvilles on; and to crown all dark green beaver hats, of enormous dimensions, profusely decorated with light green feathers and falls of white lace. Two more were in pink to represent summer; two in yellow to represent autumn; and the remaining couple in white, to personate winter. Their eight dresses were all of a uniform character. Each young lady wore French shoes, and frills round her ankles ; also nicely fitting kids ; and sported splendid bouquets of artificial flowers, appropriate to the various seasons. They were followed, and, we presume, chaperoned, by a tall bouncing-looking Bloomer, in a dark costume, who looked about forty, had hair of a reddish hue, a turned-up nose, and grinned and squinted about in the most extraordinary manner. Indeed, " she" is believed to have been a " he" in disguise, for we trust no one of the fair sex would have conducted herself so disgracefully. How ever, notwithstanding, the "motley group" met with few insults, and, in fact, for the honour of Bristol be it said, were everywhere courteously received. Several hats were raised to the spirited "seasons," who re turned the compliments by bowing and smiling right and left. They are said to have behaved with the greatest modesty and decorum throughout the entire of their promenade.—Bristol Paper. DEATH 131 A WASH-HOUSE. Yesterday Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Tri nity Arms Tavern, Newington, on the body of Susan Hobbs, stied 88 years, who was found dead in a cellar or wash house, at 11, Swan-street, Dover-road. Mrs. Cutler, the deceased's daughter, stated that her mother was iu the receipt of Is. 6d. weekly from the parish of Gravesend, but for the last five months she had been re siding with witness, being infirm and incapable of as sisting hers, lf, owing to her advanced age. Witness rented the house, welch contained seven rooms, and they were chiefly let to lodgers. The deceased lived in an underground back room; and on Sunday morn ing last witness fuund the deceased complaining difficulty in breathing. She gave her a little warm brandy and water, which seemed to relieve her. Shortly afterwards witness went to her, and dis covered that the deceased was dead and cAd. No medical man was called to see her befure or after death. The officer said that in lying g n he he w en e t s er n ed ea t r) h l e . place where the dead body w suffocated by the dreadful Effluvium which filled the room. There was a sink in the corner that communica ted with the common sewer, and the place seemed to him to be more like a cellar or wash-house, It was quite unfit for a human person to sleep in, more especialy an an aged woman like the deceased. Coroner—Could not a better place be found for your aged mother to sleep in? Mrs. Cutler—No, Sir; and she seemed very happy there. Coroner—You have rendered yourself liable, by the Metropolitan Building Act, which came into opera tion on the Ist of July, 1846, to a fine of 20s. every day that such a place is occupied otherwise than as a ware house or store-room. The jury concurred in the obser vations of the coroner, and returned a verdict of natural death. PUTNEY BRIDGE. Among the improvements called forth by the in ereased locomotive propensities of the age, we note one which is likely to be productive of much convenience and advantage to the public. The old, unsightly, incon venient, and dangerous bridges on the Thames have one by one given way to more safe and elegant structures. The bridge across the river from Fulham to Putney still remains, a serious obstruction to the navigation. For the requirements of a century ago, the existing bridge was doubtless sufficient; but the enormous in crease ° b a r d e g o e f lessthe traffic, more especially of steamers, calls for a dangerous to vessels and passengers. To effect this object, a company has been formed, with the view of obtaining an Act of Parliament, conferring the necessary powers. The capital, a large portion of which has already been subscribed, is ample for the purpose, and as the shareholders in the old bridge have already shown a desire to amalgamate with those of the now one, the expense and delay consequent on a Parliamen tary opposition will be avoided. Tho new company propose to construct a handsome iron bridge, with arches of sufficient height and span, to replace the present un sightly mass of timber. They 'have received the best assurances of support from the neighbouring proprietors, and other parties likely to be interested. In addition to the tolls obtained on the present bridge (which will be adjusted on a liberal principle), there will be those de rived from steam-boat passengers, a part of the plan being to erect a pier f)r their accommodation, as on Hungerford• bridge.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1851 LAMBETH. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Rev. Mr. George . Corbishley, a survey o r by prof e ssion, and whose friends are of the highest respectability, was placed at the bar b e f ore M r . Elli o tt on a c h arge of forging acceptances to different bills of exchange. Mr. Dawson Poulter, a clerk at the Reform Club house, Pall-mall, deposed that h e became acquainted w ith the prisoner in consequence of his having been employed at the club-heule occasionally for the last two years as surveyor to Mr. Gammon, who was the builder. On the 4th inst. the prisoner came to him, and presenting him with a bill of exchange for 131., asked him if he could get Si. or 61. upon it. He pro. wised to do so, and he called again on the 6th, when not having been able to get the bill discounted, he advanced 51. out of his own pocket. The prisoner told him he had been doing some business for Mr. Claydon, the gentleman whose name appeared to the bill as the acceptor, and he had received it (the bill) in payment for his services. From information which subsequently reached him, he (witness) had been in• duced to make some ibquiries, and these led to the discovery that the acceptance was a forgery, and he in consequence gave information to the police, and the prisoner was apprehended. At the station-house the prisoner, in his presence, admitted that the name Wm. Claydon to the bill, as acceptor, was in his (prisoner's) own handwriting. Mr. Henry Hammond Claydon, of Bland-street, Dover-road, said be had known the prisoner about two years, and that about twelve months ago he and bis brother William had employed him to survey and value some property belonging to them in Walworth, and this was the only transaction they had with him. His (witness's) brother lived in Yorkshire, and he had never made any bill of exchange payable in his brother's handwriting. In his cross-examination by the prisoner's attorney, the witness said he had not noticed anything particu lar of late in the prisoner's manner, and never saw him drunk. ' Police-sergeant George Quinnear, IP, deposed that, having received information of the forgery of the. bill and a description of the prisoner's person from Mr. Poulter, the first witness examined, he took him into custody, and on placing the bill before him at the station-house he acknowledged that the acceptance to it was his own handwriting. Mr. Henry H. Clay don was again called, and deposed that on the Bth day of last month the prisoner called on him and said he was very distressed, and asked him if he could lend him 2/. Witness did so, and the pri• sonar produced the bill of exchange now handed in, fur 171., and put it into his hands as security for the 2/. He asked him if it was all right, and he replied that it was. On the 14th of November the prisoner called on him again, and said that he had been served with a writ, and, on his earnest solicitation, he ad vanced 11/. 103. more on the bill. On this occasion the prisoner repeated that the bill was all right, and that Mr. Richardson was a client of his. When the bill became due he presented it for payment to Mr. Richardson, the acceptor, but that gentleman refused to pay it, and declared the acceptance was a forgery. In reply to a question from the Magistrate, the witness said he bad lent the money upon the security of the bill, believing it to be a genuine one, and that he should not have given it if be thought otherwise. In cross-examination the witness said he had not noticed anything particular in the prisoner's manner lately, nor had he ever seen him drunk. He (the prisoner) had been employed by his brother and him self only once, and fur what he had then done they paid him. Mr. John Richardson, of 7, Upper North-place, Gray's-inn-road, surveyor, said the acceptance to the bill produced by the last witness was not in his hand writing he had never seen the bill until last Friday, when it had been presented f o r payment. He had never authorized the prisoner or anyone else to put his name to it. In his cross-examination Mr. Rich ardson said he had known the prisoner for about nine years, but had not seen him lately. Mr. Richardson further acknowledged that iu March, 1850, he had paid a bill of 251., to which the prisoner had forged his acceptance, and at that time the prisoner solemnly promised not to repeat the serious offence. Sergeant Quinnear informed the Magistrate that there were one or two other cases wherein the pri soner had obtained loans upon similar bills, but the parties were not then present. Mr. ELLIOTT committed the prisoner for trial on the two charges of forgery above stated, and directed him to be brought up on a future day to meet the other charges. Bail for his acceptance was tendered - and refused. • ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE, LONDON ORDINATION, Oa Monday morning the Lord Bishop of London held a general ordination at the Chap.l Royal, Whitehall, when the following gentlemen were admitted into holy orders:— DEACONS.
