[The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday :—] FRAN CE. The National states as follows the conditions on which it will grant an amnesty to the President of the Republic : The Inclependance Beige, narrating certain details of an interview of M. de Lamartine with the President of tho Republic, attributes to the latter the following words;—` The heads of the old parties, who at bottom detest the Republic, and desire to overturn it to the profit: of Henry V., or the Count of Paris, wage a bitter war against me, under pretext of restoring the Empire. Since my protestations, repeated so often in various circumstances, cannot put an end to the ealamny, I cannot do better than ask the man who is the living personification of the Re public, to form a Ministry; then the accusations against me cannot have any kind of foundation.' M. Bonaparte is wrong to complain of what he calls calumny, and of his inability to put an end to the distrust which certain Decembrist acts have excited. There is a simple mode of convincing every one, and even his adversaries, of his respect for the Constitution, and that is, to propose to the Assembly to go back on measures which have be come too famous; to declare in his next Message that, under no pretext, will he solicit or accept a new candidateship for the office of President; to cause to be repeated on every occasion this declaration by his Ministers; and then the distrust and hostility which afflict him will not last long. The Constitution is for mally opposed to M. Bonaparte's re-election ; he cannot care much about paying that homage to the fundamental compact. A circumstance which took place in the committee charged to examine the proposition Remusat, and which is marked down in the minutes, demonstrates the necessity of the declaration which we mention. M. Baroche, when interrogated by one of the members of that committee as to the intentions of M. Bonaparte relative to the presidential election of 1852, refused to reply. He also remained silent when the same repre sentative asked him if in his opinion it would be an at tempt to violate the Constitution to endeavour to secure the triumph of the candidateship of M. Bonaparte in May, 1852." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JAN. 24.—There was a warm debate in the Chambers yesterday on the budget of war. It is reported that General Chazal will be removed from the post of Military Governor of the Royal resi dence, that this post will be suppressed, and that the General will be removed to the fourth territorial divi sion, the head-quarters of which is Mons, and that General Brialmont will receive the command of the second territorial division, whose head-quarters are to be at Antwerp.—Journal du Commerce d' Anvers, Jan. 23. ITALY. The Osservatore Romano of the 15th inst. states that the French court-martial at Rome, under the presidency of Colonel Delamarne, has just tried five individuals, accused of having, on the 3d of December, wounded several French soldiers, so as to disable them for twenty days. Two of the prisoners hive bPan condemned to a year's imprisonment; the others have been acquitted. A correspondent of the Bilancia of Milan writes, that some agents of Mazzini have lately been landed at Fiumicino, near Rome, by an English yacht, and that their first act has been to spread a revolu tionary pamphlet, entitled, " Rome and the Roman States."

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) The business done this week has been of a remarkably steady character, and without much advance as respects dividend concerns, with the exception of such as hare shown improvements in the lodes, in which the rise has beca sudden and important. We foresee that wo aro approaching the limit to which prudential capitalists will be inclined to go, in hesitating to pay a price for a divi dend-share when the interest of capital would become reduced below 12} or 15 per cent.; and, doubtless, this is a sound and practical stand to take. Several new concerns of favourable aspects have had their shares distributed without difficulty; and, on the whole, we congratulate the mining interest on the present condition of affairs. The Metal Market has been very animated during the week.-Copper firm, and in good demand.-Foreign Tin more inquired for, and several parcels have changed hands; a good business doing in Tin Plates.-Lead is firm, with a brisk demand. The arrivals at Swansea during the week have been -1,821 tons of copper ore, and 9 tons 11 cwts. precipi tated copper ore, for the Cobre Company; and also 567 tons of copper ore; 782 tons of copper regulus; and 20 tons of silver ore. The sale of copper ores, on Tuesday, amounted to 2,167 tons, producing 22,4361. its. 6d. The weekly sale of copper ores at Redruth, on Thurs day, amounted to 2,613 tons, which produced 16,5271. lie. sd. Wheal Mary (Redruth) sold 100 tons of copper ore, realizing 4211. 2s. 3d. Tincroft sold 26 tons of black tin at 421. per ton, and 4 tons at 251. per ton. The Rocks and Treverbyn Mines sold two parcels of tin-the one at 55/. 7s. 6d., the other at 36/. 10s. per ton. The report states the mine to present very favourable appearances, and promises for increased returns as the workings progress. Wheal Mary Ann sold two parcels of lead ore-88 tons to Pontifex and Wood, at 201. 183. 65., and 99 tons to the Tamar Smelting Company, at 91. I s . 6 d. per ton . The lowest tender for the first lot was 181. is., by Locke, Blackett, and Co., and for the latter 4/. 45., by Walker and Co. Court Grange sold 24 tons of silver-lead ore, at 171. ss. 6d. per ton. At Callington, a parcel of lead ores, 45 tons, was sam pled on Monday. The Kelly Bray lode now produces 8 tons of copper ore per ftn. At Millpool, they are raising tin, and the stamps are fully employed, preparing for returns. At Wellington Mine a new lode, worth 151. per fathom, has been cat. A lode, 18 in. wide, has been cut at East Wheal Leisure in driving the li? fm. cross-cut from Taylor's shaft; it contai ne - e opper,jack, and mundic. Both north and south lodes a re expec ted ts, be cut in a few days. At Wheal Adams, the o has been intersected in the 28 fm. level, the part cat into b ein g very promising, and pro ductive of lead ore, of good adventurers. At likely to u nd quality. This is viewed as an important point in the operations, turn out well for the i nt e rests of the . se ev s e . At Wheal Penhale , the lode in the 40 f1.n78.1 lis worth much improved, and the caunter lode in the . opening on it north and south, is stated t o b e from 5 01. to 60/. per fm. From the Merllyn agent's report, which gives a moat favo urable account of the operations , it appears that in the pitch between the whim shaft and the boundary ad joining, a somewhere about 25 great deposit of ore has been taken a way, tons. One stone broken was esti mated at 1i- ton weigh t; of the entire mass 15 tons are in stones from lit and . o f stones as has never betrleibeen cwt., forming such a pile one spot the lod e was about t ft. seen in the mine. At waste. This pitch waswide, without a bit of good wo rkin g on the boundary, but it was hoped that a tons would yet be taken away within the Merllyilinsana The directors of the Devo t n h s e h i i r re Great Consolidated Copper Mining Compa ny , at of 7 board per share, being yesterday, declared a dividend from ls meeting, held September and of copper ores 7,1622 from net profit arising e and October last. sampled for the months of After payment of this divi l de s n , did. in cash, will remain in hand a balance of 20,524/. 6 at maturity, and reserved fund applicable to the general purposes of the company.

The balance in favour of the company has been augmented since the accounts were made up, by payments to the amount of 704 12s. 6d. The directors, we perceive, decline all compensa tion for their services until the returns are sufficient to pay dividends. At a meeting of the Sidney Godolphin adventurers, the accounts presented showed :-Costs to the end of last June, 5931. 178. lld ; for the five months ending in No vember, 6261. 18s. 4d. ; merchants' bills, including 3001. on account of engine, 8691. 18s. 7d.-,_-_2,1901. 143. 10d. The amount of call in May last, left unpaid 16/. was 1,0081., leaving a balance against the mine of 1,1821. 14s. 10d. A call of 11. 10s. per share was made to meet the balance and defray the future expenditure of opera tions. The report stated that the engine is now at work, and the shaft sunk 12 fins. below the edits The Orchard lode eastward produced good stones of copper ore, and the eastern end of Vivian's lode is now stated to be worth 101. per fin. for tin and copper. A report on the Leeds and St. Aubyn Consol s was read at the meeting of Sidney Godolphin adventurers, explanatory of the present state of the mine, and the prospects held out in the contemplated working of the sett, when it was resolved that shares should be offered to the latter, in proportion to their interest, on payment of 10s. each, for working the mine. At the Wheal Blencowe meeting, the accounts were as follows:-Balance on last account, 651. 12s. 11d.; mine cost for the four months ending Nov., 154/. 7s. Id.; mer chants' and other bills, 22/. 15s. 3d. = 2491. 15s. 3d.- By tin sold, three parcels, 49/. Bs. ld.; amount received on calls, 641. 4s. 6d.-leaving balance due to purser, 136/. 2s. 81, to meet which a call of 15s. a share was made. The agent's report states, that the two southern most lodes, east and west, had been cut, one of which was very promising, and bad yielded fine stones of tin, with every prospect of being productive. A cross-cut is also being driven, to intersect the east and west lodes. At the meeting of Wheal Vincent adventuters, the report on the mine was read, and considered very satis factory. Some discussion took place relative to " Tre vint Marsh" sett, and the secretary was instructed to offer Mr. Northam, the owner, twelve shares in the mine and 70/. in cash, or 25 shares in full of all demands, and the expenses of the lease. It was resolved, that 90 forfeited shares should be added to the umber of shares, restoring the number to 1,000. The cost-sheet for November was 118/. 1 ls. 3d., and the payments were made amounting to 154/. 15s. 10d. The balance now at the bankers, all arrears of calls being paid, is 1761.85. 7d. At the Berriow Consols meeting, a call of 11. per share was made; and it was also determined to commence sink ing the shaft on the main lode forthwith, and to continue driving on Budge's lode, to ascertain the best place for sinking a shaft. The agent's report states that small bunches of good quality ore had been found in clearing the adit on Budge's lode, and there are other lodes near, which can be tried at small expense by a cross-cat. At the Bridford Consols meeting, the report of the agent stated that the great lode in tae mine, consisting wholly of barytes, had been cat through, and found to be at least 40 ft. wide. Operations have been commenced at the western side, with a view to ascertain the best place for an engine -shaft. The character of the great lode is stated to resemble exactly that in Wheal Adams, and would, it is anticipated, be equally productive. The gossans from the lode have been found to yield lice. of silver per ton. The costs for the last three months (381. 6s. 5d.) were allowed, and the purser was authorised to procure a good steam-engine, when an opportunity offered of making an advantageous purchase. At the Wheal Arthur special meeting, on Friday, it was recommended, in consequence of the prosperous state of the mine, that no more shares should be dis posed of, but that a call should be made on the share holders. The following resolution were then passed:- That the Wheal Arthur be now divided into 1,225 shares, instead of 2,048 as heretofore; and that the lisp of shareholders produced at the meeting be the share holders to this date. That a call of si. per share be made, one-half to be paid on the 7th February, and the remainder on the 21st February. The report read at the meeting was highly favourable as regards the pro spects of the mine, which, according to the opinion ex pressed by the agent, is one of the best speculations in Cornwall or Devon. The agent's report to the Mineral Court meeting states that the engine-shaft is sunk to the 40 fm. level, and the lode cut through, which is considered to be worth from 151. to 201. per fathom. A new whim has been erected, and other operations are in progress for developing the resources of the mine. The accounts show-Balance last account, 1,565/. 19s. 6d.-Mine cost for October, 445/. 18s. 7d., ditto for November, including balance of purchase money, 680/. 7s. 6d.e -- --2,6921. ss. 7d. -By cash on call, 41. per share, less arrears, 948/. ; arrears received, 621. 103.; water-wheel sold, 171. 10s.; tin sold (less dues, 42/. 18s. 10d.), 7301. ls.= - -1,758/. Is.; leaving a balance against the mine, 934/. 4s. 7d. The mine is stated to have never presented a better appear ance, and full confidence is expressed in the success of the undertaking. At the West Downs Consols meeting, the accounts to the end of Dec. were passed, subject to the absent vouchers being produced at the next meeting, and a call of 10s. per share was made. On account of the large number of shares in arrear, the purser was authorised to take measures to have the affairs of the company ad ministered by a Master in Chancery, unless the arrears, together with the call then made, be paid within four teen days. It was also agreed to indemnify the purser, Ur. Robins, and Captain Carpenter, the agent, against the costs of an action commenced by the East Crowndale Company, for an alleged illegal distress for rent. It was lastly resolved to commence an action for compensation, on account of damage sustained by the forcible removal of property, and other injuries committed, under the direction of the East Crowndale Company, counsel's opinion being first taken on the subject. At the South Josiah meeting, on Monday, the accounts for the last two months showed-Balance last account, 1001.45. Bd.-By costs, Oct. and Nov., 581.25. ld.; leer ing balance in hand, supposing all calls paid, of 42/. 2s. 7d.; against which there were liabilities, 751. Bs. Bd., leaving 331. 6s. ld. to be provided for. It was agreed to prosecute the level on the course of the lode, and to rise on its back, so as to ascertain the size of the orey part. A call of 10s. per share was made. The report stated that a favourable change had taken place in the lode, which was two feet wide, producing good stones of ore. At the West Lead Mines meeting, the accounts showed-Mine cost from the commencement, in Septem ber, 1071. 10s. By cash received on calls, 84/. 10s.; loan, 33/. = 117/. los.; leaving a balance in hand of 10/. The estimated liabilities, inclusive of cost for January and February, are 3091. 16s. 2d., and the assets 1831. A call of ss. per share was made. The agent's report stated that at No. 3 shaft three fathoms had been sunk, and the vein driven upon to the extent of 25 fathoms. Nothing, says the report, can look more promising and encouraging than this vein, in which some beautiful lumps of ore are often met with, forming almost, a times, a solid rib of four inches in width. At the last meeting of Crane and Bejawsa adventurers, a call was made of 6/. per share, to meet the balance of 846/. then declared against the mine. At the East Godolphin meeting, the accounts for the last six months were submitted, showing—Mine cost and merchants' bills for that period, 9801. 185.61.; balance last account, 1351. 17s. 8/—leaving balance against the mine, 8451. Os. 115 d. A call for 41. per share was made, which will produce 1,0241. The agent's re port stated that the progress of the workings had been greatly impeded by a hard channel of ground in the engine -shaft, but this being now passed, it was be lieved that the chief difficulties were surmounted, and that the next report will be the most favourable yet issued. About 50 tons of ore are ready for sampling. At Wheal Venton two-monthly general meeting, on Thursday, the accounts for November and December, showing balance in hand of 486/ 18s. 2d., and a state ment of assets and liabilities, showing balance of liabi lities over assets of 361. 9s. I Id., wore submitted and passed. Captain Osborn's salary was raised from six to eight guineas per month, 'and the present prospects of the mine were considered highly flattering. At the East Wheal Reeth meeting, on Wednesday week, it was resolved to erect a steam-engine; and on Wednesday a tender was submitted to the committee, which they will take into consideration on Wednesday next. At the Bryn-Arian meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour of adventurers, 681. 9s. The mine cost for Oct. was 2031. 45.; for No►., 279/. 18s. 9d. By ba lance at last account, 339/. 15s. 9d.; sale of 20 tons of ore, less discount, 2111. 165.; leaving balance as stated. A call of ss. per share was made, to meet the cost of fu ture operations at the mine. Our Share List shows no tendency to a falling off in the number of transactions, nor, we believe, in the real amount of business done. For Mill Pool and West Frances there has been a considerable demand; and, in dependent of the well-maintained quotations of dividend paying mines, it will be evident that smaller speculations of a promising character have attracted a full share of attention. In Foreign shares but few quotations have been marked during the week. United Mexican have been done at 51. to sitl.; and National Brazilian at a slight decline on previous prices. Shares in Worthing (South Australia) have been sold at 21. per share. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY. TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STARES,—Offers to take 7 to 4 agst Grecian.

RUMOURED INCREASE OF THE LONDON GARRISON. —We understood that his Graco the Commander-in- Chief has expressed an opinion that it will be unnecessary to increase the military strength of London during the Great Exhibition, beyond removing the battalion of Guards from Chichester to the vicinity of the metropo lis; every precaution will, however, be taken by the au thorities at the Horse Guards on the occasion of such an excess of visitors; and buildings ha►e been surveyed for the accommodation of additional troops, should their services be required, in aid of the civil power, which latter force wo understand is to be augmented by 1,000 men. THE LATE FIELD-MARSHAL GROSVENOR.—It may not Le generally known that the late Field-Marshal used to take pleasure in relating that he commanded the Guard at the Bank during the dreadful scenes which took place at the riots in London in 1780—now 71 years ago. - DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE ARMY MEDICAL DE PART3IENT.—We have reason to believe that no final arrangement has been made with respect to this branch of the service; but we know that the amalgamation with that of the Ordnance Medical Staff is under consi deration. THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL.—Tho Commander-in- Chief has not yet yet come to any decision on the Ge neral Court-Martial recently held on Lieutenant Harris, of the 4th King's Own Regiment, but we regret to say that an unfavourable result is anticipated. THE LATE FRACAS AT DEVONPORT.—We under stand that the late fracas which took place at a ball recently held at I)evonport between a gallant captain and subaltern of the Royal Marine Corps is likely to be come the subject of a court of inquiry. REDUCTION CF NAVAL CADETS.—It is reported that the Admiralty have determined to reduce the number of entries of Cadets in the Naval Service fJr the year 1851, from 190 to 80. This is stated to be absolutely necessary, or the List will in a few years be again crowded with old Mates. INCREASE OF THE SQUADRON ON THE COAST OF AFRICA.—If the monthly increase of the Squadron on the Coast be any criterion, the Government are at length in real earnest in their determination to put down the Slave Trade; for no less than six ves sels have been commissioned, and have sailed, or are now about to be dispatched to the Coast, within the last few weeks—viz., Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender, the Bloodhound steam-vessel, nearly ready; Volcano, 3, steam-vessel, Commander Rivers, left this week; Penguin, 6, Commander Ethe ridge, to be ready this month; Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieu tee ant Commander Hill, to sail in a few days direct to the Coast from Sheerness; and Athol, store-ship. FLAG CAPTAIN TJ COMMODORE MARTIN.—The gallant Commander-in-Chief of the Western Squadron, who has been advanced to the privileges of a red pendant, has not yet nominated his Flag Captain; but it is believed that Captain S. C. Dacres, who now commands the Leander, 50, to which ship Commodore Martin has shifted his pendant, from the Prince Regent, 90, will have this nomination; and as soon as the Prince Regent is ready fur re-commissioning will shift over to her with the Commodore, leaving the command of the Leander to be filled up by the Admiralty. The Prince Regent in command of Commander Fend may be expected at Spit head the latter end of next week. IRON OR WOOD FOR SHIPS-OF-WAR.— Several highly influential men connected with the shipping in terest, and more especially with the various extensive steam companies, have united in a request to the Admi ralty to institute further trials of th© comparative effects of shot on iron and wooden vessels before their Lordships' final condemnation of iron as a material for building ships-of-war or steam-packets. They allege that if wooden ships were subjected to the same severe trials of shot from such a fixed battery as on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, the results would be as destructive as presented by the iron targets, and hav ing urged their Lordships to institute new trials under various eirunestances, upon their representations a butt, to represent the section of both sides of a line-of-battle ship, is being constructed in Portsmouth Dackyard, against which percussion shells, by several projectors, are to be tested. SICKNESS ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP AMAZON. —We are sorry to hear, by a letter dated November 19, that her Majesty's ship Amazon, Captain Barker, had no less than 59 cases on her sick list, the fever and ague having broke out on board just after the paddy cutting. The Amazon was ordered away on the 20th from Hong- Kong to Manilla and Singapore, at which division Cap tain Barker was to remain as senior officer. Her late commander, Captain E. N. Troubridge, lies buried in " Happy Valley," Hong-Kong, by the side of his late Commander-in-Chief, Sir Francis Collier. A Court of Inquiry is being held at Sheerness on Mr. Clements, Second Master:of the Apollo troopship, Com mander Rawstorne, on various charges. The medical officers alluded to last week, as having resigned their commissions in the Navy, on account of their appointment to West India colonial service, are Messrs. Bainbridge and Tucker. COAST- GUARD PROMOTION.—Tho promotion of Mate to the rank of Lieutenant in the Coast Guard this year, has been that of Mr. Iloblyn, who, it will be remem bered, was broke, by sentence of a court-martial, when a Lieutenant. Mr. Hoblyn was the only Mate in the Coast-Guard Service. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday Thomas Jones was charged before Alder man Hooper with having picked a gentleman's pocket of his handkerchief. Michael Haydon, one of the active detective City police, stated that on Saturday afternoon he was on duty in Royal Exchange-buildings, and saw the prisoner, whom he knew to be a convicted thief, go behind a gentleman, and dexterously extract a handkerchief from his pocket, and quickly put it into his own; he instantly 'X I seined him and took the handkerchief from him. R. W. Weedon, of Great Marlow, owned the handker chief, and said he was not conscious of the loss until ap prised by the officer. The ALDERMAN said he W 23 determined to carry out the intention of the Lord Mayor, in committing for trial every pickpocket who should be proved to have been before summarily convicted. The number of pickpockets had of late great increased in the City, and it became a magistrate's duty, if possible, to rid the streets of per sons whose employment appeared to be to steal at every opportunity. The depositions wore taken, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Emanuel Jacobs was also charged and committed for trial for stealing a small sum of money from the person of a poor woman in Petticoat-lane. It appeared that, after the officer took the prisoner into custody the associates of the prisoner succeeded in dragging the woman from the officer, and it was ascer tained that they had made a subscription and compen sated her for her loss. The ALDERMAN stated he was determined that justice should not be defeated; and, notwithstanding the en ; treaties of the prisoner's father, he directed his committal - to Newgate, he having been before summarily convicted at this court. BOW-STREET. A youth named John Joseph Stanley, the son of a k solicitor, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry charged , with stealing a silver fork and a silver spoon, of the value of 303., the property of Mr. C. Davis, the landlord of the Kent Hotel, in Brownlow-street, Holborn. The waiter of the hotel (Charles) proved that between ice. one and two o'clock on Wednesday last the prisoner went in and ordered a rump-steak, with ale, &c., for his dinner, and paid for the same while partaking of it. ) Shortly after he had left the room witness (on moving a ) newspaper which had been thrown over a portion of the 4. table) missed the articles of plate in question, and com municated his suspicions to his employer, by whose 3 4 direction he then waited upon the pawnbrokers in the Is. neighbourhood. At length witness found that the spoon % and fork had been pledged, by a p ers o n answering the A prisoner's description, at the shop of Mr. Hedges, 135, ts. Drury-lane, for 205., where it appeared that the prisoner !% had been repeatedly a visitor, having been in the habit of pawning spoons, forks, and other property of various )3 4 kiwis' in the name of his father. When the prisoner next so made his appearance at the shop to pledge a coat ho was i detained until the arrival of a con s table, and then given 5 s e. into custody. i Mr. HENRY expressed his opinion that the pawn i34 broker should have exercised more caution in dealing O s with a youth like the prisoner, as the encouragement thus given to possessors of stolen property often led to the commission of felony. Mr. Hedges said that the representation of the youth that he was sent by his father, and his apparent respect ability, disarmed suspicion. Mr. HENRY remarked that the initials on the plate might have induced him to suspect that all was not right. The pawnbroker said that the prisoner gave him to understand that the real name of his father and himself had not been disclosed. Sergeant Thompson said there were a great many other charges of a similar nature against the prisoner, but the complaining parties were not in attendance. The prisoner (who was charged at this court, on a former occasion, with robbing his father of some bank notes, but was discharged by the prosecution being with drawn) was then remanded for further examination. Charles Scheinster, a German, was charged with a similar robbery of plate from the dining-rooms of Mr. Simpson, of the Strand. In this case the detection of the thief was entirely at tributable to the pawnbroker, Mr. Tate, of No. 1, Cambridge•street, Golden-square, who proved that the prisoner brought him two silver spoons and forks, hav ing Mr. Simpson's name engraved upon them, and that, consequently, he called in a policeman and gave him into custody. The property was identified, and it was further proved that the prisoner had given several conflicting accounts of the way in which he had become possessed of it. Mr. HENRY remanded him for a week. Michael Donnyhui,licesol of a porter employed in the office of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and who used to assist his father in carrying coals to the different apartments of the house, was charged with stealing a 10/. note and other money, be longing to Mr. W. C. Higgins, a gentleman employed in the office. The boy confessed that he opened the desk in which the prosecutor had placed a considerable sum of money, and stole a 10/. note, a sovereign, and 125., expending the greater part of it in purchasing a silver watch and chain and a set of studs, which he directed the constable to fetch from a room in Seven-dials, where he had secreted them.—Committed for trial. WORSHIPSTREET. Mr. James Cooke, a licensed-victualler in Church street, Shorediteb, was brought up before Mr. Hammill, in the custody of Fitzgerald, the warrant-officer, charged with the following violent assault upon his wit- and subjecting her to a l ong-cont i nue d course of treatment. It appeared from the evidence of the wife, a delicate looking woman, who was in such a state of agitation and debility as to be obliged to be seated while giving her testimony, that she had been married about four years to the defendant, who had almost ever since sub jected her to systematic harshness and cruelty. At the time of her marriage she possessed considerable property, the greater part of which had been expended in establish ing him in business, but he had, notwithsthnding, been in the constant habit of persecuting and annoying her for the purpose of getting the remainder of her money into his possession. Her health had been so much im paired by this treatment that she was obliged on Wed nesday to go to bed, but had scarcely got into the room when she was followed by the defendant, who threatened to murder her unless she gave up every farthing she had in her possession, and, without waiting for an an swer, struck her a terrible blow on the heal, and instantly followed it up by a furious kick in the side. Her screams brought up the servant and a female friend to her assist ance, who rescued her from further violence, and after hastily dressing herself she stealthily left the house and hurried to this court for a magistrate's protection. Her life was in imminent danger from the defendant's vio lence, and she felt satisfied that he would have fulfilled his repeated threats of murdering her, had he not been prevented. 'Eno defendant generally denied all that was alleged against him, and declared that the chief cause of his wife's unhappiness was her own jealous and supicious disposition. Mr. IlammlLL, however, said he felt it his duty to inflict upon him the highest amount of penalty he could impose, namely, 51, or in default he must stand com mitted to the House of Correction fur two months, and he should also, in addition, require him to put in his own recognisances to the amount of 2004, and provide two substantial sureties of 751 each, for his peaceable con duct towards his wife for the succeeding six months. LAMBETH. On Saturday evening, after the other charges had been disposed of, Frederick William (alias Captain) Routledge, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norfon, for further examination, on a charge of obtaining from Mr. Johnson, a glas's manufacturer at St. Helen's, Lanca shire, the sum of 2131. 165., by fraud, and also with being concerned in carrying on a most extensive system of swindling. On taking his place at the felons' bar, the prisoner, addressing Mr. Norton, begged that he might be allowed the privilege of a seat during the examina tion, saying that since his apprehension he bad been under medical treatment, and was then exceedingly un well. Mr. Norton at once acceded to his request, and the prisoner, who seemed exceedingly ill, and appeared but the mere shadow of what he had been when taken into custody, was accommodated with a seat. A clerk from the office of Mr. Games attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the prisoner, and during the examination the court was as much crowded as on the former examinations. Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the P division, who, with two of his officers, Sergeant Quinnear and Constable Melville, has been engaged in getting up the evidence in the case, addressing the magistrate, said that although the correspondence carried on by the prisoner had been for some years of the most extensive descrip tion, and of considerable magnitude, they had had the greatest possible difficulty in getting his handwriting identified. Indeed, so great was the difficulty experienced in supplying this necessary evidence, that neither at the last nor tho preceding examination could he (Mr. Robin son) produce a witness to supply it ; but he was now in a situation to put into the box a witness who would place the identity of the prisoner's writing beyond a doubt. Mr. Robinson here called John Mansell, a porter at the North-Western Railway station, Eustou-square, who, upon being sworn deposed that on the 3d of September last ho delivered a truss of goods (either cloth or dra pery) at the house No. 21, Francis-street, Newington butts. The truss was merely addressed, " George and William Bruce, Francis-street, Newington-butts," and had been forwarded from Macclesfied to the Euston station; and, having delivered a similar truss about twelve months ,before at the house No. 30, Francis street, he called there, and was directed to No. 21, op. posite. He delivered the parcel there, and took the waybill into the parlour to the prisoner, who signed it " Geo. and W. Bruce." That waybill he now produced; and his attention had been more particularly called to it at the time from the fact of the prisoner being about to sign the waybill in the wrong column, and his having to point out the proper place for the signature, and his re collection as to the prisoner being the person who had actually signed the receipt was perfectly accurate. (The prisoner was here shown some of. the circulars sent by the prisoner to Mr. Johnstone, and he swore that he had no doubt whatever that both were written by the same person.) _ _ Mr. William Runder, a flour-factor, deposed that the prisoner occupied a house of his, and the one in which he at present resided in the Albany-road, for seven or eight years, and left about 1842. The house was No. 113, and he was not aware that any person of the name of Taylor, Anderson, or Hill resided there at the same time, or that any person occupied any part of it with the exception of the prisoner, who gave the name of Rout ledge, and whose receipts for the rent he (witness) always made out in that name. Witness had not re ceived, while he was his tenant, any notes or writing of any sort from him, nor was he enabled to speak to his handwriting. Mr. Edward Culling Little deposed that in March, 1842, the prisoner, who was now but the mere shadow of what he then appeared, took from him the house No. 3, Wilmott-place, Kent-road, and at that time handed him the card he now produced, on which was engraven the following:—" Lieutenant Frederick William Rout ledge, 113, Albany-road, Camberwell." He remained in that house until about the Midsummer of 1849, when he left without giving any notice, and leaving half a year's rent unpaid, Witness had no written communica tion from the prisoner, nor had he ever seen him write. Mr. Murray, a printer, who had printed a vast num ber of the circulars—as many as 10,000—found in the prisoner's possession, was called, and deposed that to the best of his belief he had not seen the prisoner before that day. The orders were generally given to him by a woman, who represented herself to be Mrs. Rout ledge. Mr. Robinson observed that the woman in question, and who was not the prisoner's wife, but a person who lived with him, had died about six weeks ago. His wife was still living, and, though residing apart from her hus band, she, on the very day the prisoner was apprehended, removed from her place of residence. He (Mr. Robin son) assured his Worship that there was the greatest pos sible difficulty in getting up the case, for many of those persons who might be important witnesses in the pro3e cution hung back and refused to come forward, as they did not wish to be identified with or mixed up in the prisoner's transactions. At the last examination he (Mr. Robinson) said he should be enabled on occasion to bring home a charge of forgery to the pri soner; and he had in attendance a gentleman whose name had been put to two bills as the acceptor, and who would prove that he had never even seen such bills. The bills, however, had not yet arrived at maturity, and had not been sent, so that he could not at present enter on that case, but should entreat another remand to a future day, when those bills would be firthcoming, and when ho should be prepared with evidence in other cases. Mr. NORTON complied with the officer's request, and again remanded the prisoner. Mr. Robinson, again addressing the magistrate, said that the case was one in which the assistance of a clever attorney for the prosecution was required, and, as the case was one which peculiarly affected the bankers, and more particularly country bankers who are in the habit of discounting the manufactured bills of the prisoner, he (Mr. Robinson) had no doubt, if his Worship permitted him to use his name with one or two of the bankers at whose houses the fictitious bills were made payable, they would give him the aid of the gentlemen who are solicitors to the Bankers' Protection Society. Mr. NORTON replied that he had not the slightest ob jection to the use of his name in the matter, as he con sidered the present case of considerable magnitude and importance to the mercantile interests of the country, and one which required a thorough investigation. SOUTHWARK. Jane Brown, a respectable-looking young woman, eighteen years of age, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged with killing her husband by striking him on the forehead with an old sharp pointed poker. Mr. JARDINE said he should commit her to Newgate for trial for the manslaughter. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PROMOTION. Mate—Edward L. Hoblyn (1831), of the Brixham coastguard station, has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant. APPOINTMENTS.

Stanbridge, appointed to Eagle, RC. _ _ _ Second Master—John Waye (1850), to the Caliope, 26, at Davenport. Assistant Surgeons—James S. Ayorst (1847), of the Hogue, 60, screw-ship, to the Queen, 116, in the Medi terranean; Dr. James Young (acting), to the Cumber land, 70, fitting at Chatham. Clerk—Frederick T. Robins to the Vulcan, screw troop-ship at Sheerness. Captain Sydney Colpoys Davies, of the Leander, 50, it is reported, will be the Flag Captain of Commodore Martin on his hoisting his red pendant on board that frigate at Lisbon. The Prince Regent, 90, may be ex pected at Spithead under charge of Commander Feard by the end of next week. She will be paid off all stand ing, and be re-commissioned for the red pendant of Com modore Martin. _ _ _ The Admiralty have added other and very responsible duties:to . the office of chemical assistant and lecturer of the Naval College now held by Mr. Hay—namely, the supervision of all the copper sheathing that in future mc,y be supplied to toe Llvekyatos. These buries e performed by the late Mr. W. Owin. The copper has been often of a very inferior descrip tion, and we think it would have been better that Mr. Hay should have been appointed solely for the pur pose of inspecting and reporting on all metal articles supplied to the yards; and thus his whole time and energies would be totally applied to this very important matter. Mr. Hay has 501. per annum for his supervi sion, and receiving and atnending reports on this subject. The Belgian man-of-war schooner the Maria Louise, Captain Petet, which arrived at Spithead last week, has kept her ensign and pendant half-mast high on account of the death of Maria Louise, late Queen of Belgium. She will continue to do so till six mouths have expired from the date of the Queen's death. She has refitted, and will proceed to Gu•temala when the wind mode rates. The Belgic Government have purchased 60 square miles of territory, on the sea-board of which is a good harbour, from the Government of Guatemala. Lady liennsmay, convict-ship, and Margaret Evans, American liner packet, are still detained a t Spithead by the south-west winds. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS. At the moment of going to press we have received the following by private letters:—Her Majesty's ship Herald arrived at Oahu from Behring's Straits, on Oct. 16th. The pack was found so dense that the ship would not attempt it for some days, but sent her boat,'which passed through about five miles, and found an open sea to the northward, with the exception of some floes aground; communicated with Plover, who were not sorry to re ceive their letters. They were all well. Her Majesty's ship Investigator arrived off Cape Lisburne en the 31st of July, but Enterprise got ashore on Point Clarence. With the assistance of Herald's people they took every thing out of her, which was placed in a house built for the purpose on shore. They got her off after some days' hard work, and started her after Investigator on the 22d September. Captain Moore bad bee❑ informed by the natives that two boats' crews of white men had been killed, and their bodies buried on the banks of a river, but when he offered them a cask of tobacco if they would show the place, it turned out, like most of the natives' information, not to be worth much; they made excuses that a tribe of hostile Indians were near the spot, and they could not venture.—Portsmouth Times and Naval Gazette. The Hercules, 72, store-ship, Master-Commander R. Fulton, arrived at Spithead this morning from the east ward. The Margaret Evans, Pratt, from London for New York; the Duke of Bronte, Barclay, from London for New Zealand; the Lady Flora, Pentreath, from London for Corfu, with the head-quarters of the 30th Regiment; and the Samarang, Escat, from London for Hong-K-pg, with the 59th Regiment on board, arrived at Spithead yesterday; and the Belle Alliance, with part of the 30th Regiment, dropped out to Spithead. The Salamander, steam-sloop, Commander Ellman, ar rived at Colombo on the sth of December from England, and sailed on the following day fir Trincomalee and Hong-Kong. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain Frederick, bent sails to day. She will probably drop out to Spithead to-morrow and sail this week for the South Pacific. The Driver steam sloop, Commander Johnson, ar rived at Callao on the 4th ult., from Guayaquil. The Dmdaltio, 20, Captain Wellesley, Baited from San Francisco on the 12th of November for Valparaiso, with 100,000 dollars in specie. ROYAL MARINES.—First Lieutenant Delacombe is promoted to the rank of captain, vice Thomas Fraser, placed on half-pay. Captain Frazer, Lieutenants Stuart, Tinklar, and Meheux, and a detachment of 200 men, are under orders for embarcation immediately the Prince Regent, 90, arrives from Lisbon. First Lieutenant Stewart and a detachment will re lieve the detachmeta at present serving in her Majesty's ship Blenheim, on th. 3d prox. WOOLWICH, JAN. 25.—The Ann lighter is to proceed to Greenhithe on Monday, with stores, to put on board the Argus steam-sloop. The compasses of the Argus will be adjusted on that day, and on Tuesday she will leave Greenhithe for Portsmouth. The Ariel steam-vessel, fitted with a smoke consum ing apparatus, went down the river on trial to-dAy at twelve o'clock, and Mr. Humphrys, chief engineer, with Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer, went on board opposite the dockyard. The Ariel returned up the river about one o'clock, after a very short trial, it being evident that further improvement must be made in preventing the escape of smoke when feeding the fires Wore the plan can be recommended for trial at the ex pense of Government, all the trials, including the trial to-day, being at the expense of the patentees. SHIP NE WS. THE LATE WRECK OF THE NEW CosmEnclAL.—The Committee of Lloyd's intend, at the next general meet ing of the members, to propose that the silver medal of that distinguished body be presented to Captain George Davies, R.N., of the Coast Guard-station at Penzince, as a mark of their appreciation of his brave and humane exertions in proceeding with the boat's crew under his direction to the Bressons Rocks in a tremendous sea, at the imminent peril of his life, and thereby being the means of rescuing therefrom the surviving crew of the schooner New Commercial, wrecked thereon on the 11th instant. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 26. Wind S.S.E., moderate.— Arrd. Mary Ann, Nantes. The Argo, henc, for Leg horn, has arrived at Holyhead. The Maumi Cathay, from Whampoa, has arrived at the Clyde.

For oatmeal the demand was limited without alteration in value. Of Irish oat meal and foreign wheat and flour the arrivals at Liver pool and Runcorn are to a fair amount, but of other pro duce the supplies are light. Our market this morning was of a quiet character, but few transactions occurring in any article. For wheat and flour, however, previms rates werefully supporteddwhilst holders of oats and oat meal were less firm; but no actual dealine can be noted.
