A FEW THOUGHT e- ..:=7-7P,#: _ 1 (From Eliza Co ' ::- , ' ' ;'Yff ':;:::•:- To know ourselves is the s . ,' ate,st '7 l l.ostc;' '") . humanity, if we do not gain -Itl ef !. is futil e . B ut inasmuch as it 4canh i m „...... be our end. Our aim is God, who's loth i 7 eye on all," because He is near to all and know et History teaches us the great relationship, and the use and power o f every part o f character ; in great results it shows us the springs of daily life ; but to gain this teaching we must overcome some difficulties. Histories are imperfect records, depe n di ng times and persons which on the character of the produced them. The earlier were written when mind was very young, and thus detailed only the strong-coloured and wonderful in event—coronations, wars, pomp, and sho w ; w hil e , as time advanced, we bad more of home thoughts, giving rise to popular movements, and swaying, by their growing force, the energy of nations. Were history perfect there would be no wonder in it, for it would be but a tale of familiar life and hope. Such will be the history of future day s — nay, o f ours ; f or each mind records its own convictions, and the press is stamping them upon the rich history our time is building for futurity. Yet, as such is not the record from which we learn, we must think the more; having but the gross materials, we must connect the structure for ourselves; and as the chemist is unable to form a substance by synthesis, until he has found its elements by analysis, 20 we can form no standard of ancient motives and mind, until we have known our own. So lel; us not be buried in the Past; one thing lights us to another; we must seek to be omniscient. The past is littleness—the future, boundless mystery; in one we live to nothingness—in the other, to inac tion ; for he who waits for the future, is like the man who lay waking to mark the time of his sleep. That is ever far. It is ours to work, to learn from retro spect and hope in the power of a present Now ; for by encouraging the widest view and hope, we are rising nearest God. A limited thought is brutal. There is another difficulty, and that is the misty notions of pride and glory with which all history is choked. These things belong not to creative action, but to perfected being ; the glory of one age is the disgust of another; one man's pride is another's scorn. Therefore these are of the mind, dependent on its state, and confused by its ignorance. Who can tell where glory lies ? Is creation glorious ?it is only when some amount of it appears to our short senses. We call a fair landscape glorious, but find it composed of objects by themselves uninteresting; the pencilled flower is glorious, but its smallest particles we cannot see. It were idle waste of life to watch each grain of sand drop in the hour glass ; yet, when the globe is emptied, we say a glorious power has acted, for an hour of time is gone. Where was the glory ? The thought of God, that moved the hour, was present ere the first grain dropped down. " Time was made for slaves," and man is slave to his position ; he needs to see a glaring result, before he can be conscious of a moving cause; thus he sees the strong-drawn past as glorious, and his own life, of which he has to feel each moment, as poor and common. place. Would that man would love the pure and homely, hunting not gross glory, which would teach him to seek crossing the ocean 'at a stride, deeming the gradual means contemptible. Glory is perfection--it is in our aim, but not our grasp, we must struggle up to it by slow and quiet steps. What we learn from history is this—in what our fathers have done well, let us follow—where they have failed, let us seek a better path ; for when by certain means we have often and vainly striven for an end, we know the means are wrong, Nations have grown to power, and died away—but this wi:l not always be; as every failure has had its cause, so, when that cause is removed, the failure will not be. Greed induced the stronger communities to overcome and swallow up the weaker, until others rose, strong enough to bind the strong nations, and spoil their goods ; thus verifying the prophecy of old, " What is wrenched by force, can by force be re stored ;" and where there occurs irregularity, nature will shortly right herself. Thus old nations rose and tell; glitter shows not strength, for when the sun shines brighcst the cloud is big with rain. We have an under -current of life ; they shone, but we burn, and the heat that renovates us, radiates all around us ; it flows from land to land, giving life to all : it must be eternal, for it completes the magic circle; em bracing all the earth, it flows ever round. It is cer tain that where there is not between nations free intercourse, trade, and knowledge, there must be pre judice, partiality, greed, and passion, which are the seeds of ruin. The world has a quiet lustre mow, spite of its recent revolutions ; these are but the outward signs of turmoil, the efforts by which nature throws off accumulated injustice and wrong, which, were it carefully removed on its first dawning, would need no such violent expulsion. War may rage around, while peace is ripening within it - customs, still acting, ar e a l rea d y d ead, and we feel but the flutter of the unconscious nerves ; , the lightning flash is never seen till the fluid is gone by, nor actions till the thoughts that bore them. Life shall progress with a full tide, but noiselessly as the electric stream passes from link to link of an unbroken chain ; it is only in rupture there is noise and show. Let us be great in our single worth, renewing ever the law of God. It is yours and mine to work the way of charity, and remember—" charity begins at home.' E. M. S. COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS. The members and friends of this institution held their general half-yearly meeting at 28, Bloomsbury square, on Saturday morning. The chair was taken at one o'clock, by Dr. Hodgson, principal of the High School, Choriton, near Manchester. The SECRETARY read the report of the council, which, after some discussion upon provincial matters, was adopted. The I%ev. Dr. WILSON, the dean, made a few brief remarks on the nature of the examination of the can didates, who upon this occasion consisted of seven teen gentlemen and two ladies. According to the opinion of Mr. Hind, the senior moderator, there was every reason to be satisfied with the attainments of the candidates in mathematics. He animadverted upon the absurdities of most elementary treatises on arithmetic. After some further observations of an opposite character from Dr. 'WILSON, the Chairman proceeded to deliver the certificates to the successful candidates, whose names are as follows : Classics—Class 1, nil; Class 2, Hayward, Mac donnell ; Class 3, Harris, Smith. Mathematics— Class 1, Stoppard ; Class 2, nil ; Class 3, Acus, Cheyne, LEeming, Swift. Elements of Commerce— Class 1, Ellis, Class 2, Brightasb, Phillips, Walliker. French —Class 1, De Candt, Jones, Turrell. Spanish —Class 1, nil; Class 2, Bernoit. Italian—Class 1, nil , Class 2, Bernoit. In the Ladies' Department— Miss Brandenburg, Miss Bryant. Miss Bryant passed a very satisfactory examination in Latin. Mr. KINGSFORD, one of the examiners of the col lege in history, made a few brief observations upon the attainments of the gentlemen who had sub mitted to examination in his department. The replies to the questions which, in conjunction with his co adjutor, Mr. Wynte, he had proposed, often evinced much good sense and natural capacity upon the part of the candidates. It was a great pity that the talents of these gentlemen had not been properly cultivated; their knowledge was too often ill digested. The opponents of this institution alleged that the council required knowledge from the candi dates, but made little efibrt to impart it. He hoped that this objection would soon be removed by the speedy establishment of courses of lectures upon educational subjects. Whatever might be the diffi culties that impeded the acquisition of knowledge by the teacher, those difficulties must in some way or other be overcome by him.

A - - -- AA Nor ACCIDENTS.—On Tuesday last a man named Hodson broke his leg on the Steep Bill, Lincoln. This same man, within the l a st th ree years, has twice befor e broken his legs, and twice had his feet severely crushed. The last time he bad his foot crushed he was working at the (.3astle, and after the accident he was taken to the hospital, where he lay for ten weeks, the surgeons meanwhile being occupied in endeavouring to effect a cure without amputation. They failed in doing so, and an order was made for his admission to an hos pital in London. The surgeons at this establishment took off two of his toes, and after healing the wound he was sent home. His foot soon became bad, and he was again admitted to the hospital at Lincoln, where the whole of his foot, except the heel, was amputated, and he recovered. Some generous individuals, about three months since, entered into a subscription, and purchased the poor fellow a patent foot. He had just begun to walk about the town with the artificial limb which had been given to him when he slipped on the Steep Hill and broke his leg. lle is again in the Lincoln Hospital.— Nottingham Journal.

The country markets held on Saturday were some what firm for Wheat, the prices of which had an up ward tendency. There was a slightly increased demand for spring Corn and the best parcels of Flour. We have no later advices from the United States than those re ferred to last week. The stocks of Grain in the Baltic and Black Sea ports aro rep resen t e d as h eavy, w i th a very inactive demand. In France rather large parcels of Flour have changed hands for shipment to England. Very moderate supplies of English Grain arrived up to our market last week. From abroad we received 6,001 quarters of Wheat, 8,597 ditto of Barley, 7,863 ditto of Oats, 274 ditto of Beans, 701 ditto of Peas, 168 ditto of Tares, 40 ditto of Linseed, 220 ditto of Rapeseed, 75 ditto of Mustard Seed, 34 ditto of sundry Seeds, 3,666 sacks and 12,384 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our market this morning coastwise, from Kent, was tolerably good and of excellent quality. That from Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, /km, was comparatively small. By land carriage and samples the receipts were trifling. Notwithstanding the stands were scantily filled, and the attendance of buyers was somewhat numerous, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce, owing to the heavy importations of Flour from France and the United States, and which are likely to be pressed for sale during the next two or three weeks, was in a very sluggish state. Selected samples of both lied and White were, however, mostly disposed of at prices about equal to those on this da) se'nnight; but, in some in st.nces, Is per quarter less money was accepted by the factors for the middling and inferior kinds, and a clearance was with difficulty effected. With foreign Wheat, we were tolerably well, but not to say largely, supplied. The millers purchased all kinds very cautiously. Fine Wheats were mostly held at fully previous rates. In the out-of-condition sorts scarcely any business was transacted, and the quotations must be considered somewhat easier. We had a fair show of most kinds of Barley for the time of year. Really fine Malting parcels produced fully previous rates; otherwise the Barley trade was in a very sluggish state. The quantity of Malt ready for delivery was trifling. The transactions in that article were, nevertheless, small, at barely stationary prices. The large brewers are not buying to any extent. The show of Oats, both English and foreign, was compara tively small. Sound Corn sold at full rates of currency; but all other qualities were neglected. In Beans next to nothing was doing, and prices were the turn lower. The demand for all kinds of Peas was heavy, at barely the late decline in value. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, moved off heavily, at barely late rates.

The continued severe frost on the Continent has caused the imports of foreign stock into London during the past week to be unusually small. The total importation has not exceeded 507 head. During the same week in 1849 we rec-ivect 1,142, and at the corresponding period in 1848, 1,224 head. Letters from Rotterdam, a n d th e other principal shipping . portsabroad,state that, not withstanding the low prices ruling in this market, the supplie3 ready for shipment are heavy, especially th ose of Sheep, and that large numbers will be forwarded hither on the breaking up of the frost.

It is now necessary that we should observe that the above are the most accurate ones t h at h ave yet b een issued officially since the present tariff came into opera tion. The number of Foreign Stock in to-day's market was very limited, yet it was quite Equal to the wants of the dealers. Fresh up this morning the arrivals of home-fed Beasts were very limited for the time of year, and of middling quality. Notwithstanding the coldness of the weather, and the increased number of buyers in attendance, the Beef trcde was in a sluggish state. However, most of the Beasts on eff rr were di sposed of at about last week's quotations. Thi extreme price for the best Scots was 4s 2(1 per Sibs. Fr om N orfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 800 Scots and Shorthorns; from the northern grazing, districts, 1,000 Shorthorns ; from the western and midland counties, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England, 600 of . various breed s .

With London-killed Meat, these markets have been very moderately supplied, since our last report. Scarcely any foreign supplies have been brought forward; but about 2,000 carcases of Beef, Mutton, and Pork, have arrived from the provinces.

Coastwise and by land carriage about 2,800 tens have come to hand. The very best samples are in fair request, at full prices, but all other kinds are a slow sale.

WOOL. Last week's imports of Wool into London were 3 bags from Auckland, 512 bales from Sydney, 1,379 ditto from Port Philip, and 68 ditto from the Cape. We under stand that supplies of fine Colonial qualities are much wanted in'the manufacturing districts, and that further public sales will take place on the arrival of several vessels now on passage laden with Wool. The private contract market is very firm, and prices are well sup ported in every instance. TALLOW. Our St. Petersburgh letter, dated the 22d ult., states that the demand for Tallow for forward delivery was in a very inactive state, yet prices were mostly supported. Common shipping sorts were quoted at 107 to 109; and tine Ukrane 113 to 114 roubles, with 10 down. The estimated supply for 1850 was 140,000 casks, 30,000 of which were left over from last year. The total imports into London in 1849, were 97,132 casks, against 113,171 ditto in 1848, and 89,824 in 1847. Those from Australia and South America increased 50 per cent. The stock of Australian Tallow is now 4,000, and of South American 7,500 casks. Since our lost report the delivery of Tallow has some what increased, yet the ch mend for most kinds has ruled inactive, and, in some instances, prices have had a down. ward tendency. To-day P. Y. C. on the spot is quoted at 38s to 38s 6d; and for forward delivery, 388 3d to 38s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow has declined ls, the net cash price being 38s 6d per cwt.

Y). City, queen's This bankrupt, described as of Broad-scree merchant, and at present a prisoner in the _ Bench prison, came up on a renewed application for discharge from custody, and for a choice of assignees under a fiat sued out against him. It may be remembered that the bankrupt had made previous applications for discharge, but wsr refused until ho rendered a full account or the expenditure of 2,3001. received by him for a share in a copper mine in Cornwall, a considerable part of which he received whilst ho was in prison. On his last application he did not give a satisfactory account of the expenditure of the money, and Mr. Commissioner Goulburn re manded the bankrupt until he furnished satisfactory accounts, and a day was named for the renewed ap plication, which, however, he did not avail himself of, but came up at the meeting. Mr. ROXBURGH again opposed the bankrupt's dis charge. His HONOUR considered the accounts very unsatisfac tory, and would not order the bankrupt's discharge until be rendered accounts and paid the costs. The bankrupt was then remanded to prison. IN RE FERRIS—REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE. In this cafe Lis Honour gave judgment. The Tull particulars of the case have been before the public within a few days. The judgment of the . Court was that the certificate should be refused. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. This morning the January Session of the Central Criminal Court was opened at the Old Bailey, by the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. Sheriff Lawrence, and Mr. Sheriff Nicoll. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The llEconDEn proceeded to deliver his charge. lie said the calendar contained the names of ninety-five prisoners, and the offences with which they stood charged were, as it regarded many of them, of a serious character. The crimes of violence against the person were not nunerous, but they included two charges of the greatest importance, one being a charge of murder and the other a case of the violation of a child under ten years of age. There was also a charge of arson, that was to say, the setting fire to a house, and persons were in the house at the time it was set fire to, which was a statutable offence. The bulk of the cases comprehended in the calendar were, as usual, crimes of the felonious acquisition of property, of a nature, and by the various stratagems to which persons of a dis honest character resorted. Out of the list of 95 names in the calendar, no less than 50 were eases of larceny, where the object was theft, and that number might be still , further enlarged by charges of burglary t urn i ng out, en investigation, to be only simple larceny. Cases of burglary, though they did not necessarily involve larceny, yet, as they necessarily involved the breaking into a house with the intent to commit a felony, the in ention, ordinarily speaking, was the acquisition of 1 3 3/4 10 7:!zi 9% 229 .. ..-.. .. 100 . 1371,12 10% .. 22 ~ 1104 LONDON, MONDAY .

Holcrofi's bustling comedy of the Road to Ruin was repeated here on Saturday with the same cast as on the former occasion ; and Mrs. Winstanley more than justified the favourable impression which she had produced on the evening of her first appearance by her admirable impersonation of the character of the Widow Warren.. This lady is a great acquisition to the Drury company. The Harry Dornton of Mr. Anderson was admirable, and the Silky of Emery very good. The pantomime, which now goes excel lently, followed, and it was delightful to witness the enjoyment, of the children, with whom the Drury pantomime seems an especial and deserved favourite. The house was crowded. 'HAYMARKET THEATRE. The new burlesque continues to draw crowded houses here every evening, and with such a cast it will continue to draw. It is admirably put on the stage, and is full of pungent hits at the_follies of the day. Miss K. Fitzwilliam is a great acquisition to the Haymarket corps, and Miss P. Horton more than sustains her high reputation. The Ninth Statue will run a long and prosperous career. ADELPH I THEATRE. Let those who wish to roar with laughter until their sides ache again go to the Adelphi and see Wright as Frankenstein make a model man, the model man being Paul Bedford, who plays the " What is it ?" to the very life. Fortunately, to pre vent our sides from splitting, we have occasional intervals of repose, during which we see some very pretty scenery, and some very pretty nymphs, with Miss E mma H ard i ng as the most graceful of Undines. The Willow Copse preceded the burlesque on Saturday, and Mrs. Bunbury's Spoons followed. The house was, as usual, more than crowded. It was a regular Adelphi crush. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. Schirra's opera of Mina continues to draw crowded houses to this home of the English lyrical drama, and we are glad to find that the beautiful melodies of this delightful opera are becoming more and more appreciated as they become known. They were delightfully rendered on Saturday by Miss Louisa Pyne, Harrison, and Weiss, who were rapturously applauded throughout the performances. The pantomime of _King Jamie followed, and eli cited roars of laughter. The appearance of ‘• the Prime Minister" was voted by all the youngsters to be " prime fun," the likeness of the mask being unmistakeable. The amusing vaga ries of Flextnore, the most active and flexible of dancers, elicited shouts of laughter and applause, and the whole performance went off admirably. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE - Are were present for the second time, on Saturday evening last, at the performances which the enter prising lessee has provided for his Christmas patrons. We were glad to see that the house was crowded in every part. In fact, it was nearly as overflowing as it used to be in the "goad old days " of twenty years back, when the then (and still) never-failing attrac tion of itrazeppa brought its hundreds and hundreds of visitors into the theatre. As is meet and proper at this season, the juveniles predominated in large ex cess, and by their plaudits and other expressions of delight manifested their satisfaction at the dainties set before them. The Knight of the Eagle Crest, the first piece presented, exhibited all the usual striking incidents of an Astleyan drama, interspersed with scenery, processions, and effects, which this establishment alone can com mand. Mr. Hicks, as the hero, not only showed in strong colours the excellences for which he is celebrated amongst his admirers, but in the (to us) new capacity of an equestrian acquitted himself with a daring boldness which merited all the vehement applause that he received. The tournament scene, in which he conquers all disputants for the hand of his " ladye love," was admirably managed by him, as mil as by Mr. Crowther. The scenes of the circle fol lowed, in which the grace of Mademoiselle Gordoni on the tight rope, and tl:e elegant horsemanship of Mademoiselle Angele on her mare " Senora," were rewarded with all the usual honours. The panto mime, entitled harlequin Yankee Doodle came to Town upon his Little Pony, is really an excellent specimen of its genus. It is full of fun, well worked tricks, and happy allusions to recent events and to the conspicuous characters of the day. Amongst the scenes is one exhibiting " Tattersall's," in which the great auctioneer himself is introduced. On Saturday evening none seemed to enjoy the joke of the like ness more than the worthy prototype himself, who was present with his family in the Royal box. The final scene of " Britannia's Water Palace " will well repay remaining until the very last, as well for the children of the larger as of the smaller growth. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CHESTER CUP.

However, his observations I on the present occasion would be brief, inasmuch as the cases in general presented what they called matters of fact for the determination of a jury, to which the law was easily applicable—that was to say, if the fact con tained in the depositions should be made out by credible te,timony, it would be required at their hands, in the discharge of their duty, that the cases should be put in the course of further inquiry. So far as his investiga tion bad extended, his mind was satisfied there was enough comprehended in the depositions, if the witnesses were persons of credit, to warrant the grand jury to put the parties on their trial. He would apply t h at obser vation to a very p a i n f u l and serious case of murder. He wished not to prejudge the case at all, but he might save them some little trouble if he stated at once he was quite sure, that if the facts which were stated in th e depositions were ma d e ou t by the witnesses, they (the grand jury) would feel it their bounden duty to put the party on her trial. With regard to the offence of arson, the mode in which it was said to be committed in this instance was the setting fire to a house. There should be evidence, in order to make out the offence, of the part of the house, however burning and consuming some trivial, although the fire was immediately afterwards extinguished. But there was a ease in the law books where a small faggot having been set on fire on the boarded floor of a room, end the boards were scorched and blackened, but no part of the wood was consumed, it was not held to be arson. The burning of clothes would not satisfy the law, which was highly penal in the case of arson where persons were in the house at the time the house was set on fire. There fore what the grand jury would require to be proved before them was, that there was a reasonable evidence that the party charged did the act, that it was wilfully done, and that it was done so as to satisfy the object to the extent that some part of the fabric of the house was burnt. There were two cases of manslaughter, one of which was wated to have been occasioned by a blow given by the fist to a drunken man, and which was alleged to have caused death; and the other was by a blow which occasioned death to the party struck. Any unlawful violence in the prosecution of an un• lawful purpose, which terminated in death, would render the party liable to be tried for the offence of manslaughter. There was a case of the violation of a child under ten years of age, and on that subject the law was that, under ton years of age, the consent of the child was immaterial, the law deeming a child of that tender age not to be in a condition to give consent to a pro position which, ordinarily speaking, it could not com prehend. Between ten and twelve years of age females were under the protection of the law to the extent that, even with the consent of a party between ten and twelve, it was a high misdemeanour to have intercourse with a female of that tender age. There was another case, which he alluded to merely because they had got an Act of Parliament very recently coming into operation, affecting the bankrupt laws. A party was charged with not surrendering under a fiat of bankruptcy, and the offence, which had been variously dealt with under former Acts of Parliament, in future, was to be dealt with under a recent statute. As the matter was new, he merely alluded to the section under which a party was amenable to public justice in case of not sur rendering. It was the 251st section of 12 and 13 Vict., c. 106, which made the offence of not sur rendering punishable with imprisonment. Then there was a provision where a bankrupt did not discover his estate that be should be deemed guilty of felony, and ba liable to transportation for life, or for not less than seven years, as the Court should direct, or be liable to imp r i sonment for any term not exceeding seven years. me n: he Addressing, e t . - ;s e i sp ng 2 , 2s a e s d l t i o e ,exatebnotdyupoofn theirmer cantile time in order to make th em acquainted w i th a new legis lative provision relati ng to bankrupts; and having made these observations, h e would remit them to the discharge of their duties. The grandthdaitd jury then retired, and the officers of the court proceeded to swear in the petty jury. it BOW - STREET.—(THIS DAY . ) A respectably-atti re d man, named George Walker, himself-rst as a generalecum d ta a c le e r s , :_ csrrying on eet, 'T otten h am •court road, was s e n charged s s c u r i :n b d e e d F r the h followin g Horatio Brown, a cabdriver, stated that between nine and ten o'clock on Saturday night he was on the rank in Parliament-street, opposite the Horse-Guards, when ho observed the prisoner coming up the street in a light spring cart, and driving at a furious rate. Perceiving that he was driving in a direction that would lead to a collision with one of the cabs, he called out to him to stop, but the prisoner took no notice of the warning, and the result was, that the shaft of his cart struck the witness, and throw him to the ground, where he re mained for some time insensible. When he recovered he found himself in the hospital, with injuries on his arm, back, and knee. Police-constable, I? 167, stated that some other cab man stopped the cart, and gave the prisoner into his cus tody. The prisoner was drunk. The prisoner said he had been spending the day with his daughters in the Old Rent-ro a d, but although ha had been drinking he was not drunk, nor was he driving furiously. Mr. HALL said there was a discrepancy in the Police Act, so far as it related to cases of this nature. It gave him no more power to punish such offenders as this than it did to punish a fruit woman for ob3tructing the pave ment with her basket. A clause in the Act, however, empowered him to award compensation to a party in jured by the furious driving of another; and ho should, therefore, fine the prisoner in the full penalty of 405., and order him to pay the complainant 40i. more, or in default of payment to be committed for 21 days.—The money was paid. Thirtten lads, whose ages varied from 12 to 15 years, were charged with sliding in Trafalgar-square. The absurdi ty of this case was not in the least diminished by the fact of each prisoner having baen arrested and charged by separate policemen. One of the constables stated, in answer to questions from the Magistrate, that the prisoners " struck out" their slide on the terrace opposite the National Gallery, and it was dangerous to persons passing to and fro. Mr. Ham. fined the prisoners in penalities varying from 2s. to 4s.—Tho fines were paid. Two fashionably attired young men, who gave the names of Fozham and Smith, were also charged with sliding in the square. Police •constable A 57 stated that about half-past twelve o'clock this morning he warned the prisoners cff, but they heeded him not, and passing by again, at two o'clock, he still found them "at it" and took them into custody. Mr. HALL asked Foxham what he was? The pri • sonar replied that he was a solicitor. He did not deny that he was sliding when the pohceman came up at two o'clock; but the ofii2er could not have warned him off, as he had not been in the square before. The prisoner Smith said the same, adding that ho was a gcn!leman of independent means. Mr. HALL fined them 205. each, or eight days' ha prisonment.—The:fine was paid. MARLBRO*-STREET—(THIS DAY.) EMBEZZLEMENT.—Catherine Count)? was charged with having embezzled various sums of mon e y b e l ong i ng to her master, Mr. Samuel Clift, dairyman, 7, Air-street, Piccadilly. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner wa s em pl o y e d by him to carry out milk. Latterly, from some irregu larity in her accounts, ho was led to suspect that she had not been as honest as be imagined, and from subsequent inquiries he found that she bad received several sums of money, amounting to 329., not a single farthing of which had been accounted for. On being taxed with receiving the money, she admitted that she had done so, and was very sorry for it. He then gave her in charge. Mr. James Euston, 29, Charles street, proved paying the prisoner 12g. about a fortnight ago. On receiving the money, she wrote paid to the bill produced. Several other cases having been proved against the prisoner, Mr. BINGHAM, at the request of the pros ecu t or , remanded her until Wednesday next. ROBBERY BY A BOY.-- William Jones, a boy about 14 pars of age, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a valuable diamond ring, the pro• Forty of Mr. John George French, surgeon, 41, Great Marlborough-street. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor as page, and from some cause or other tho prosecutor discharged him on Wednesday last. Pre- 5,805,737 575,675 1,032 98,893 379,236 184,380 7,044,953 5,316,208 12,361,161 5,811,165 558,639 3A)2,961 91 4 ,220 340,144 874,172 7,486,301 5,250,743 12,737,044 544,887 5,250,743 5,795,633 4,112,823 ,682,807 vious to the prisoner quitting the house, one of the female servants missed a valuable diamond ring from the prosecutor's dressing•case. Suspecting the prisoner had taken it, she searched him, but did not succeed in finding it. It was, however, subsequently found at a pawn broker's in the neighbourhood. Godfrey, one of the detective police, said he took the prisoner into custody on Saturday night. On their way to the station he admitted to witness that he had stolen the ring, and gave it to a woman who sold it to Mr. Neat, the pawnbroker. Witness went there and found that to be the fact. The prisoner was remanded. MR. SIDNEY HERBERT'S PLAN OF EMIGRATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—To the friends of humanity and morality the proposed plan of emigration by Sidney Herbert, Esq., must be truly welcome; and in that system, with proper management, a powerful remedy for the over-population, starvation, corruption, and oppression of the lower classes will be found. But I feel asto-' Lished that no person has yet suggested a better mode than the proposed one for conveying the intended objects of their solicitude to the colony destined to receive them. Having considered this matter, I have ventured to propose a plan which I hope may prove of some assistance to the public. It must be well known to all persons the large number of ships, officers, and men belonging to the royal navy now unemployed ; The ships rotting at their various moorings, their sails and rigging rotting in the sail-lofts ; The officers, to the number of about 4,000, on half pay unemployed ; The men idling about the streets, or in foreign service ; And the country paying all to keep idle. With these facts before you, you may see how and in what way these emigrants could be forwarded in the cheapest and most expeditious way to the colony intended to receive them ' • and added to all this, th e money subscribed could be applied to fit out, instead of being used to pay the passage of the emigrants. Let then the Queen and Government be petitioned to cause four of the old class " seventy-fours," which would take out 800 each, and thus comfort, safety, and cheapness would be combined, and a great national benefit conferred. I am, Sir, your humble servant A NAVAL OFFICER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Suc,—Are we to lose our colonies or to incorporate them with the United Kingdom ? It is evident they cannot be misgoverned any longer for the mere benefit of the aristocracy. Ido not believe there is a single colony anxious to separate from us, but all are deter mined to have self-government, which they are entitled to, and it ought at once to be conceded. Let the Queen appoint a governor to represent her, and through him make such appointments as she does here, and no other. The colonists are not desirous of ex changing her Majesty for a president, though they are quite resolved to have cheap and intelligible laws, and really good, economical government. This the best writers on the colonies assure us. If the peace can be preserved by good municipal insti tutions (of course including a police force) and a militia, why incur the expense of regular troops ? I, certainly think the colonies should join us in main taining the navy in proportion to their population, for it would be of as much use to them as to us, but there is no occasion for them to have soldiers from us. The great links between them and the United Kingdom should be the navy, and as complete free trade as there is between Yorkshire and Middlesex. No tax should be levied by either, except for revenue purposes, and then the article produced at home should pay exactly the same duty as that imported. With i•uch an arrangement the British empire would be the most splendid and powerful empire that ever existed, and the world would then have a specimen of thorough free trade; an outlet would be created for o ur redun dant population, which would be diffused over the whole empire according to the demand fur labour.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T.

FIRE ABOARD AN INDIAMAN AT BLACKWALL.— On Saturday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, a fire broke out on board the splendid ship named the Ganges, an East India trader, lying in the dry dock of the canal-dock, Blackwell. The vessel, which was nearly 1,000 tons burden, was under the command of Captain Deas, and was advertised to sail for China on the 4th of next month. It appears that the vessel had been taken into the above dock a few weeks previously, for the purpose of being re-coppered and smoked, to destroy the vermin in her. On some of the ship carpenters passing along the side of the ship on Saturday morning they noticed smoke pouring forth from the hatchways on the deck. An instant alarm was raised, when it was found that the cuddy, state rooms, and all they contained, were in a general blaz'. A messenger was dispatched fur the engines, and in the course of a few minutes three belonging to the West India Dock Company arrived, followed by numerous others. The engines having been abundantly supplied with water, were set to work, but several hours elapsed ere the fire could be entirely extinguished. The mizen mast fell into the river with a terrible crash, but no one received the least injury. Subjoined is a copy of the official report of the damage done:—" Main deck, the caddy, the state rooms, sail cabins, and contents, burned out; the poop , and deck nearly destroyed; the stern frame considerably damaged by fire, and mizen•mast fallen over the stern. The vessel was insured in the Phoenix office. THE MANCHESTER SAVINGS BANK.- - Mr. Pratt has recently visited the Manchester Savings Bank, and spent some time in the examination of its counter busi ness, as well as the mode adopted of keepit:g the books, and checking the daily entries. He has since addressed a letter to Mr. G. E Marsden, the deputy chairman of the bank, in which be says that he has no hesitation in expressing his oi inien that the different checks in ope ration, and the mode of conducting business generally (under Mr. Neild, the actuary) arc a sufficient guarantee, not only to the depositors, but also to the trustees and managers. He suggests, however, that the auditor or accountant engaged shoull be directed to attend once or twice a month, and examine, with the ledgers, in the manner which he had himself done, the books which might b 3 produced by the depositors on the day or night of his attendance. If this were practised he was confi dent no fraud could be committed, or even if it were so, the discovery would be immediate. His Serene Highness Prince Frederick of Hesse honoured the establishment of Mr. C. F. Hancock with a visit on Saturday. ST.
