j t "Tan 15 ilton FItANCE. During the course of the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the following discussion took place on the subject of the orders alleged by the Pet-ie to have been issued to the troops by General Changarnier : The Algeria Commerce Regulation Bill having been read a second time, The President announced that M. Napoleon Bona parte demanded leave to address interpellations to the Minister of War, relative to instructions given by General Changarnier to the army under his orders. — (Cries of "In three months ;" others "Immediately.") The Minister of War asked that they be postponed until Monday. • The delay of three months was put to the vote and rejected, Generals Lamoriciere and Bedeau and about 40 members voting in that sense. The immense majority of the Assembly, however, rose against it. The proposition to fix the interpellation for Monday was similarly rejected, and the Assembly decided that they should take place immediately. M. Napoleon Bonaparte then rose and said, that he had read with surprise and disgust an article inserted in the Patrie on the liberation of M. Mauguin by order of the National Assembly, stating that if the director of the Debtor's Prison had refused obedience most serious consequences might have ensued, inas much as it declares positively that the following are among " the general and permanent instructions" given by the Commander-in• Chief of the army of Paris to the commanders of troops under his orders : —" 1. Not to obey any requisition until after having received the orders of the Lieutenant-General ; 2. Not to listen to the Representatives ; 20. Every order which does not come from the General-in-Chief is null ; 21. Every requisition, summons, or demand made by a civil, judicial, or political functionary, shall be rigorously rejected." M. Bonaparte observed that if such instructions were signed by Windischgratz or Radetzky he would find it quite simple, but a French general's name should never have figured at the bottom of such a document. He expected this morning to read in the illoniteur an article communiqué, denying the existence of those instructions, which violated the spirit of the Constitution and wounded public con science. The Assembly, he added, disposed of the military force for its protection, and yet the troops were enjoined not to obey any requisition that did not emanate from the General-in-Chief. Traitors were to be immediately shot, and who was to discriminate between loyal citizens and traitors ? In presence of such instructions, which he had every reason to be lieve real, it was important that the Assembly should assume an energetic position. It was sovereign and should be obeyed. He thought that every power should be reminded of the respect due to the Consti tution, and he accordingly proposed the following resolution : " The National Assembly, blaming the instructions given to the troops under his orders by General Chan garnier, invites the Minister of War to modify them, and passes to the order of the day." The Minister of 'War replied that he never refused the combat, and that if he had asked that the interpel lations be fixed for Monday it was to have time to make inquiries respecting the existence of that docu ment. On reading the article in the Patrie he had ordered research to be made in the War-office, and no trace of it could be found. He was only told that such instructions had been issued 29 months ago, but he could assure M. Bonaparte that they were no longer in existence. General Changarnier, who followed, declared that the alleged instructions inserted in the Patrie were not the textual copy of any permanent or temporary instructions issued! by the Commander-in-Chief.— (Bravos throughout the hall.) In no case could it enter his mind to question the consitutional right of the Assembly to dispose of the military force for its protection.—(Redoubled bravos.) When his comrade General Cavaignac invested him with the command of the National Guard, he had thought proper to frame instructions which were to guide the officers under his orders in case of a collision. He held them in his hand, and if the Assembly wished—(No, no)—he would read them to it. The Patrie might have found them in the journals of the time. They had since been approved of by all the Administrations that had suc ceeded each other since that period. The discussion being afterwards closed, the order of the day, moved by M. Napoleon Bonaparte, was re• jected by an almost unanimous vote, and the simple order of the day was adopted. The Assembly subsequently adjourned at half•past five o'clock, amidst the greatest agitation. GREAT FLOOD AT CARLISLE. (From the Carlisle Journal.) It is not often tbat we have to record a circum stance of so extraordinary a character as has happened in this district within the last forty-eight hours. During the whole of yesterday, about a thousand acres of ground in the neighbourhood of this city were completely under water. Since the year 1822, the waters cf the Eden, the Caldew, and the Pet teril have not risen to such a height, and we ques tion whether at that memorable period the waters were higher, though unquestionably the storm was much greater, and the damage done to property very much more. Tae weather, which has been very changeable since our last, assumed on Wednesday night a very serious aspect. The wind rose in the afternoon, the rain came on and poured down in pert ct torrents, and storm and rain continued till a late hour. The rivers, which during the day were about their usual limits, gradually rose, and it was evident that the waters were rapidly rising to an un usaal height. At ten o'clock the rain cleared off for a time, but the wind continued during the greater part of the night, and passengers on the West Walls could scarcely keep their feet. A gentleman who was going home with his wife in that direction, be tween the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, had his hat blown off and carried to a great distance ; his wife was blown down on the footpath, and it re• quired every exertion to keep himself up. An hour or two after midnight there was a heavy fall of rain again, but the howling of the blast began somewhat to diminish, and its strength seemed on the wane. By daylight the atmosphere was compara tively placid, and the rain had altogether ceased. The sun, howexer, rose upon a sight of the most astonish ing description. The whole of Rickerby Holme, Stoney Holme, the Swifts, the Willowholme, the Sorceries, and other low-lying lands, were com pletely under water. The currents of the rivers were merged and undistinguishable in the vast expanse. We are glad to find thot the loss of sheep and cattle l has been very trifling compared with what might have been expected. Mr. John Irving had eighty-two sheep at pasture in the Far Sorceries. Orders had been given to have them removed on Wednesday night, something like high water being anticipated, though not a deluge such as it proved. The orders given seem to have been either misunderstood or neglected, and Thursday morning at eight o'clock found them surrounded with water, and perched on the 'sheep mounds. The water was fast rising, and the most energetic measures had to be adopted to secure them. A boat was obtained, and two men (one of them naked) set to work. By dint of the most persevering exertions, seventy cf them were brought over in the boat to terra firma. Four of them swam across to Etterby Scaur and saved their lives; two were carried through the railway arches and wcre brought out at Etterby. They were thus all saved but six, which fell a prey to the flood, and have not been. recovered. The exertions of the naked sheep catcher excited considerable merriment amongst the e n - makers at the Castle Bank. On the near Soceries the 'Messrs. Dixon had seventeen sheep. They were taken off_ by means of boats, about nine o'clock yes terday morning, and during the day they were to be seen quietly gra z i ng on that portion of the Bitts was now under water. The number of animals lost . cannot b e at do n o t, however, think exactly ascertained. We they can be many. In Cal dawgate a num b er of the lower stori es .

Had the Devon sisir and other banks been as luw as they were not many years ago there is little question that a large pnatiou of the lower district of .Rickergate would have been (hinged. The scene from Etterby Scaur, at four f,'elock, was cue of great beauty and gran deur. The whole o f t h e va l e below was ono broad expansive and placid lake, or rather resembled some model bay for the anchorage of an extensive navy. The view towards Rickerby from Eden-bridge was lovely in the extreme. As far as the vision could penetrate there was one wide expanse of water, only broken by the uprising plantations. From Eden bridge the water on both sides would not be less than an area of a thousand acres. Along Botcherby-road the fields were flooded. The gardens at Warwick road were submerged, and the water reached up to the road at the toll-bar. At Petteril.bridge, in place of the usual rippling stream, we had a river of such volume that it could scarcely get through the arch.

EXILLIMA.TION OF TRooPs.—Her Majesty s ship Hercules has been appointed to convey the 41st Regi isent from Cork at the end of January to Corfu ' • the 76th from Corfu to M a lt a; t h e 69th from Malta to Bar badoes; the 72d Highlanders to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and the 38th from the latter place to Portsmouth. SOUTH-WEST DISTRICT.—The effective Force of the South-West District, on the Ist of January, consisted of 2 troops of cavalry-76 men; 3 companies of Royal Artillery-280 men; 1 company of Royal Sappers and Miners-96 men; the 3d battalion Grenadier Guards -600 men; 5 regiments of the Line and the Provisional battalion-4,237 men, making a total of Rank and File of 5,689 men. HORSE GIIARDS.—We are glad to find that Colonel Wetherall, the Deputy-Adjuntant-General, has quite recovered from his recent severe indispostion, and has resumed for some days past his duties at the Horse Guards. NEW MILITARY HOSPITAL, PORTSMOIITH.—We are glad to find that the arrangements for a new hospital tor the troops in Portsmouth Garrison are now com plete, and that the offices, &c., of the Royal Engineers, situated on the mill-dam, have been selected as the site for the future accommodation and treatment of the sick soldiers. Captain Clifton, of the 12th Lancers, it is reported, will shortly be appointed to the Staff of Major-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. THE CHOLERA AT CEPHALONIA.— We have much pleasure in being able to announce that the cholera has now entirely disapreared from Cephalonia, that the troops are now healthy, and the island is now released from quarantine. Strange rumours of revolting scenes at the burial of the military in a garrison town not a hundred miles from Parsonstown, have reached our oars. As the consequences are likely to be serious to those upon whom the culpa bility rests, and since the commanding officer has taken up the matter, and no doubt, as in duty bound, has re ported it to the general, we refrain from entering into details —merely premising that, should these reports find confirmation, is is not very likely the affair will be per mitted to rest here. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., has succeeded to some considerable property on the death of his sister-in law, Mrs. Ogle, of Eaton-place. This lady was a sister of Mr. Raphael, formerly M.P. for St. Alban's, who died a few weeks since, and left her some 100,0001. Although Sir Charles is known to be possessed of a princely fortune, no one, we are quite sure, will begrudge hiln any accession of wealth, for he is one of the most benevolent of men, and his charities a re unbounded. Many ar e known b ut more are only felt, for Sir Charles is trul y on e of those " who do good by stealth , and blu sh to fi nd it la me ."

COST OF OUR MEN-OF-WAR AND CONVICT Li o ijit IN DOCILYARDS.—IL is unfai r to ma k e a compariaot be tween the expenses of a man-of-war built in England and a man-of-war built in France, without some expla nation with regard to convict labour. In the French ar tennis there are employed at least 8,000 forcats; in the English dockyards, the total number does not amount to 800! LETTERS FOR THE NEW ZEALAND DIVISION.—We have it from authority that the Admiralty have ordered The road up to Botc'nerby-mill was impassable. The road a little beyond the bridge was flooded for a quarter of a mile. Here a speculator, with horse and gig, conveyed passengers over the road for a penny a piece, and the water at some places took the horse up to the knees. The garden of Mr. Peter Dixon at Holme Eden was flooded, and the water was up as high as Dr. Tin ning's house at Warwick. We have been informed that the Wetheral Mill, which stands on the banks of the river opposite Corby, has been completely ' washed down. At Knockupworth a mud cottage was on Wednesday night levelled to the ground by the violence of the storm. We may add that the flood was at its highest at two o'clock yesterday. After that time it began gradually but very slowly to fall, and at four o'clock this morning it had sub sided very much. It was observed that the flood pro ceeded principally from the Eden. The impetuous Caldew has been higher when the flood was less ; and the Petteril, though certainly at an extraordinary height, has not very long ago been beyond the limits it assigned itself yesterday. The flood yesterday caused quite a sensation in the city. Crowds of people were to be seen at all hours of the day on the Castle-bank, Devonshire-walk, Eden-bridges, Etterby Scaur, and other places whence a view of the grand spectacle could be ob tained, Pnsumn, JAI. 2.—This town and neighbourhood were visited by an awful storm of wind and rain during the evening of New Year's-day, which lasted the whole of the night without the least intermission ; and the rivers and the becks having been full with the rain of Tuesday, they became perfectly full, and in many places the banks were overflowed, and great damage was done. The river Eden at Longwatby overflowed its embankment, and between the Toll Gate and the bridge over the turnpike road it ran a perfect torrent, and was impassable. At Brougham Castle Mill, the confluence of the Eamont and the Lowther, the water was very high, and for a time the premises were in great danger of being swept away. A good deal of damage has been done, but not to the extent expected. At or near Shap Beck, the arch of a bridge on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway was washed down, and the mail trains going north and south were detained there many hours—the mail going south ten hours, and the mail going north thirty-four hours. This is a very serious affair, and will cause great uneasiness and confusion. The bridge has been temporarily repaired, and the trains now pass as usual. The storm raged at Penrith from five in the evening till six next morning, when it cleared up, and the wind ceased. This day (Thurs day) has been fine, and suited to the season. APPLEBY, THURSDAY, JAN. 2.—The heaviest flood of the river Eden that has been known at Appleby since the memorable Candlemas flood of 1822, which created such vast destruction of bridges and pro perty in the north, was witnessed at Appleby on Thursday morning. During the latter part of Wednesday the rain began to fall in tor rents, and the wind to blow a tremendous hurri cane. The storm continued with unabated fury until about four o'clock on the following morning. The river, which was previously heavily charged, began to overflow its banks at an early hour of the night, and soon after midnight had completely inundated the lower grounds in the neighbourhood, laying waste the hedges in every direction, and sweeping with im petuous force every loose object with which it came in contact. The lower part of the town of Appleby, especially Chapel-lane, was a complete sea, and the inhabitants of the houses in that locality had to remove their furniture into the second story, the depth of water in the houses averaging about three feet.

SMUGGLING A PROMOTION.—In the Navy List, by authority, published on the Ist inst., we find, page 57, at the bottom of the list of Lieutenants, under the se niority, 1850—" Hon. Henry Weyland Chetwynd. Dec. 11." Mistrustful of our own memory as to this officer's standing as a " mate " or " pissed midshipman," we re ferred to the Navy List, by authority, for October, and not finding any such name among the list of some 150 officers, we turned oiler to the alphabetical list—but without success. We then endeavoured to recollect some dashing affair that bad taken place during the past three months of which any yonng officer of the name of Chetwynd was the hero, and turned to our files to assist us: but here, again, we were at fault. In ignorance then of any justifiable excuse on ser vice grounds for promoting an officer whose name now appears in the Navy List for the first time, over the heads of 150 seniors, we can only trace Mr. Chetwynd's good fortune to the fact that he is the third son of Viscount Chetw)nd, of Berchaven, co. Cork. If Owe be all his recommendations for such a distinction at the early age of 21, and at the expense of so many deserving officers senior to him, we do not at all wonder that the Admiralty, being ashamed of the transaction, have smuggled his name into the Quarterly List without previous announcement. THE LEANDER, PHAETON, AND ARETH USA. A correspondent has forwarded to a Devonport paper the following, under the date of her Majesty's ship Leander, Lisbon, December 17, 1850:—" Sir, —Through the medium of your valuable paper, I beg to contradict a statement which has been circulated through some of the Devonport papers,:stating that in a stiff breeze on the 19th of November last, the Phaeton, as usual, beat all the other ships of the squadron, and in so doing twisted the head of her foremast, and still held the pre-eminence; and that the Arethusa came next. It is true she twisted the head of her foremast; but nothing is said concerning her carrying away her jibboom, port bumpkin, and a portion of her cut water, topsail sheets, &c. I am surprised at such a statement as beating the Arethusa, but, however, it is clear enough that it is out of prejudice to the model of British naval architecture' (the Arethusa). I will here relate the facts as they occurred in our different trials of sailing. During the summer we had several trials on a wind, with scarcely enough wind to keep the sails full; the Pbaston then certainly had the advantage, but very little of the Arethusa. On the sth of Nov. last we left Lisbon, and for several days we were either becalmed or had light airs, but at 10 30 A.N. on the 18th a change took place; the sky became overcast. At 11 30 the Com modore made signal to try the rate of sailing on a wind. By this time there was a stiff royal breeze. All the frigates had a beautiful start. About 3 P.M. (the wind in- creasing) the Phaeton was obliged to take in her royals At this hour the Arethusa gained about to 2 miles; at 4 P.M. Phaeton hoisted a signal, " I cannot carry on," for no other reason than the Arethusa was laughing at her to windward. 4 30, signal to take station, and reefed topsails and courses, blowing very fresh, which continued during the night. At 8 o'clock the following morning (19th November) there was a good sea up, with about a half gale of wind; 8 20, Commodore made signal to Phaeton, " What sail can you carry ?" Answer, " Double reefed topsails, reefed courses, and topgallant sails." A similar signal to Arethusa. Answer, " Single reofed topsails, whole courses, topgallant sails, and reefed royals if I require them." 8 40, signal— prepare to try rate of sailing with all possible sail. At 9 40 we started—the Phaeton with double-reefed top sailed, reefed courses, and no topgallant sails, as per signal to the Commodore; the Arethusa carried the sail as before mentioned, per signal. At the instant we started, the Phaeton was on the lee-bow of the Are thusa, and the other frigatea far astern, and to leeward. It was a splendid sight; in about forty minutes the Are thusa brought the Phaeton on her lee quarter. It was laughable to see the wind's eye frigate (Phaeton) ccasionally making a clear jump out of the water, like a flying fish escaping the pursuit of a dolphin. Finding herself going so test, to leeward, and astern of Arethusa, she sent hands aloft to loose topgallant sails; fortunately for the crew, it was not done. The Are thusa at this time, being about one mile to windward, received a very heavy squall, and heeled over to it in beautiful style. After the worst of it passed the Are thusa, every eye was turned to the Phxton to leeward, anxious to see how she would receive it, when, the instant it caught her, she became a complete wreck, carrying away her jibboom, port bumpkin, a portion of her cutwater, and topgallant sheets; it was melan choly to look at her—the sea occasionally making a clean break over her. Commodore made signal to close reef topsails and courses, blowing very heavy. Commodore then made signal to Phaeton— " When will you be ready to continue the trial?" Answer—" I don't know." Commodore—" Can you keep your station?" Answer—" No." A telegraph of some length of time took place between the Commodore and the Phaeton ; at last she was ordered to Plymouth or Portsmouth, as most con venient, to repair 2,0001. damage, whilst the Are thusa did not strain a rope. The Phaeton left us about 4 P.M. of the 19th, in the Bay of Biscay, where we knocked about with heavy weather for several days. When we arrived again lin Lisbon on the 27th, we were anxiously waiting the arrival of the mail from England, to hear it she had arrived safe. The Phaeton is a beautiful vessel in flue weather, and it is a pity that she should be sent out of the, English Channel in the winter season to encounter rough weather." MARKET IN TEL LIGENCE. (From the Loncbn New Price Current, Jan. 3.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of raw Sugar were firm, and offered only 858 bags Bengal at public sale, which ' sold at full rates, from 41s 6d to 42s 6d for fine yellow like Mauritius. In the West India market there was not much doing in grocery or refining sorts, and only 208 hhds and tics were sold; but full rates are obtained. The purchases aro 611 hhds, and trcs for the two market days; but holders are firm, although the demand is limited. On Tuesday 150 hhds Barbadoes, 120 hhds Demerara, 329 bags Bourbon, 1,509 bags Bengal, 1,300 bags Mauritius, and 3,700 bags grainy Madras will be offered at auction. MAUAITIIIS.—The importations into Great Britain for the past year were 47,000 tone, against 44,000 in 1849; and borne trade deliveries in 1850 amounted to 50,500 tons, whereas in the previous year they were 47,900; the stock was 7,000 at the close of 1850, against 10,300 tuns in 1849. Merchants have confidence, and the rates obtained are rather above those current previously. Only 399 bags have been offered at auction, and sold at 39s 6d to 41s fur mid and good yellow. The current rates are, for brown 31s to 378, yellow 37s to 42s 6i, and grey 36s to 403. REFINED.—The market has a firm appearance for Refined Sugar, and there has been a good home trade demand with only a limited supply, brown lumps realize 504 6d, Tittlers low to fine 51s to 55s 6d; Hambro Loaves 51s 6d to 565, and wet lumps 473 to 495. Bastards are only in limited request at from 30s to 328 6d, and yellow 33s to 378, but there is a good demand for Pieces at 38s to 41s. Treacle remains dull of sale at 13s to 14s for common, and at 14s 6d to 18s for better sorts. In Crushed Sugar only limited purchases have been made by exporters, still rates are firm. British at 28s 6d to 30s, Dutch 25s to 29s 6d, and Belgian 26s to 278 6d. The export value of Treacle is 12s 6d to 148, Bastards 19s to 225, and Pieces 26s 6d to 275, with few purchasers. In loaves a fair business has been concluded; prices are also firm, ruling for Turkey 1 to sllbs at 40s to 455, llambro 6 to 7lbs 33s 6d to 345,. 10 to lOilbs 32s 6d to 335, 14 to 151bs 325, Tittlers 22 to 301bs 31s, Prussian 40 to 451bs 30s 6d, Dutch loaves 9 to 101bs 31s to 335, and Belgian lolbs 30s to 30s 6d per cwt. To-day the Refined Sugar market was quiet, and 50s to 51s is the value of grocery lumps. Of Dutch made goods several parcels on offer to-day at rather lower rates. EAST INDIA.—The market has opened with a good demand fur Bengal, and stiffer rates have been obtained for sorts suited to grocery purposes. At auction 2,184 bags were disposed of, good and fine grainy yellow re alized 44s 6d to 465, fine white ditto 50s, common white Benares 43s to 43s 6d, fine soft yellow 41s 6d to 42s 6d, common soft 33s to 34s 6d, and fine brown 325. The value of good and fine white Benares is 44s to 46; per cwt. Of the better sorts of Madras some parcels have been sold piivately at stiffer rates, but lower qualities met with little attention, still• holders will not sell, but at full terms. FOREIGN.—The total importations into Great Britain of Foreign Sugar during the past year were 65,000 tons, and in the previous one 83,000; deliveries were for home consumption 43,500, and in 1849 they amounted to only 22,300; for export the quantity taken has been 22,000, and in 1849 it was 29,300; stocks at the close of the year amounted to 43,000, and in the previous season they were 56,300. There is confidence on the part of holders, and none has been submitted to public com petition daring the week. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and by private treaty little desire was evinced by ship pers or home dealers to operate ; but good ord Native Ceylon is not to be obtained undr 56a per cwt. TEA.—The quantity taken for home consumption in the United Kingdom during the past year amounted to 48,748,000, in the previous one to 47,743,000; for export and stores deliveries were 5,600,000, and in 1849 dur ing the same period 5,000,000; the stock was 5,400,000 lbs leas than at the close of 1849. Dealers have evinced little desire to operate in Black this week, and prices have declined %d per lb for the lower sorts of Cougou, sales having been made at is to is Oid for common to good ord, and is Id to Is 2d for medium, but for better kinds previous rates of is 2il to Is 10d per lb are demanded. Green has been operated in with caution and fur inferior sorts holders are disposed to make a slight concession, but in the value of better kinds there is no reduction.

The bankrupt, an engineer , came up on the que.tion of passing his last examination, supported by Mr. Ford, and opposed by Mr. Wilkins. The case has been re peatedly- before the Court, and reported. His Honour, in giving judgment, remarked that the accounts were unsatisfactory, and that some of the bankrupt's state ments, to be believed, required an extent of credulity which one who witnessed the proceedings of bankruptcy courts could not be expected to possess. The last ex amination was therefore adjourned sine die. Protection was applied for and refused. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvAtis.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF E. BREWSTER. The bankrupt was a printer in Hand-court, Dowgate hill. The question at issue was, whether a pianoforte, value 861., furnished to Mr. Brewster by the Messrs , . Collard, of Cheapside, ought not to be delivered up to the asignees. Mr. Morgan was counsel for the assignees; Mr. Law rence supported the claim of Messrs. Collard. It was contended upon the one hand that the piano had been merely hired, whilst it was alleged upon the other side that there had been a bargain and sale, and that the instrument was, to all intents and purposes, at the order and disposition of Mr. Brewster at the time of his bankruptcy. The COMMISSIONER finally decided in favour of the assignees. Mr. Morgan then applied for costs, which his Honour granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Timms Newland, Henry Hart, and Lewis Levy, were brought up for further examination before Alder man Lawrence. The following additional evidence was taken:— James Swain—l am assistant to Ann and Barbara Reeves, pawnbrokers, in Redcross•street. I produce a child's cloak and hood, pawned on the 26th of December last by the prisoner Newland for ss. in the name of John Lixton." I gave this ticket to the person pledg ing. The articles were in this paper box when I re ceived them. Sarah Shaw—l am saleswoman to Messrs. John Welch and Sons, in Gutter-lane. The hood and cloak produced by the last witness are the property of my employers. The value of the articles at the wholesale selling price is 235. I missed them from the warehouse on Saturday week last, and I had seen them safe on the Tuesday previous. I know they have not been sold. Cross-examined by Mr. H. F. Wood—l lean identify them by the quality of the material. The box is also the property of my employers, and the same that we use to keep them in in stock. James Swain recalled—l produce four children's coats, pawned on the 28th of December last by Newland for 65.; also a child's frock and cape for 35., on the 18th of December; and a frock, on the 17th of December, for is. 6d., pledged by Newland, and all in the name of "John Lixton." Mr. Wellington Williams—These goods are a portion of my stock, but I am not at present prepared to swear positively that they have not been sold; at the same time, I have not the slightest doubt but that they form part of my unsold stock. The value of the articles produced, at the wholesale selling price amounts to about 31. Alderman LAWRENCE was glad to see that the pawn brokers had acted in such a creditable manner in render ing every assistance to forward the ends of justice, although in doing so It militated against their own pecu niary interests. Henry Sears—l am salesman to Louis Silberb ,, rg, tobacconist, I!, St. Martin's-le-Grand. I know the prisoner Newland. I have seen bim occasionally at our shop. On Friday, December 27, between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, he brought a canvass bag into the shop and threw it on a chest and said, " That bag will not be in your way tilt to-morrow morning, will it?" I told him it would not, and he then left the shop, I was removing the bag into our little back parlour, when a packet of about a dozen collars tumbled out. The bag not being tied up, I looked into it, and saw a quantity of ladies' collars and habitshirts and gentle men's shirt fronts. Seeing clean goods put into such a bag, I suspected they were stolen property, and accord ingly communicated my suspicions to the police. On Saturday morning early the officers Webb and Wardle came to our shop, and I told them the particulars relat ing to the bag. Webb then examined the bag, and took an inventory of the articles it contained. He then put his private mark upon all the things, and returned them into the bag in my presence. Webb remained on the premises watching. About half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon Newland came in and had six pennyworth of Cubas and a packet of Bremen tobacco. He said he would not take the bag then, but would call for it about a quarter to five o'clock on th• same afternoon. He did not come again until Monday morning, about eleven o'clock. He said he would have sixpennyworth of Cubas, and I asked him if he would take the bag with him. He said he would not take it then, but would call fur it about half-past two in the afternoon. Webb was in the parlour at the back of the shop watching the prisoner at that time. He went out, and returned at the time he stated he would call again. I was sitting in the back parlour. Webb took out some of each of the articles in the bag before I took it to the prisoner. I threw it on a cheat in the shop, and he (Newland) asked me for a knife. I gave him one, and he cut off the top part of the bag, and asked me fur a piece of string to tie it with. I supplied him with the string, and he gave me the top of the bag; it was marked " W. W.," and " Griffin, 34, Gutter-lane." He then left the shop with the bag under his arm, end Webb and Wardle followed him. The piece of the bag produced is the same that the prisoner gave me. I handed it over to Webb as soon as the prisoner left. Some delay here took place in consequence of a diffi culty experienced in bring up a witness, who positively refused to attend, although summoned in the usual manner. The Alderman accordingly granted a warrant to compel tho attendance of this important witness, and in the course of the afternoon she was brought up on the warrant, and placed in the witness-box to be sworn. Helen Conway, a tall brawny Irishwoman, in answer to questions put to her by the Alderman, said—l am servant to Mr. Garton, who keeps a public-house in Spi tatfields. Alderman LawaExot —What is the sign of the house? Witness—Sure, then, I don't know what the sign is. I have only been in the house about a month. Alderman LAWRENCE—What is the name of the street? Witness—Sure, then, I can't tell you the name. It's quite a strange place to me. Alderman LAWRENCE—Perhaps you will tell us if you know either of the prisoners at the bar? Witness —I never saw any one of them in my life before. Alderman LAWRENCE—Now, woman, remember you are on your oath, and you must answer my question. Do you mean to swear that you have never seen the pri soner Hart before? Witness—Sure, then, I never set eyes upon him in my life. But now I see, ho be a Jew man.—(Laughter.) Alderman LAWRENCE—And do you swear that you have never seen that young man, Newland? Witness —Faith, then, all men are alike to me. It isn't myself that would take any notice of any man. Alderman LAWRENCE—WiII you swear that you never saw Webb before, or the other officer, Wardle? Wit ness-I'll tell you the truth, yer honour. I never saw the man you call Webb in my life. I have seen Wardle, yesterday. Alderman LAWRENCE—You bad better be careful what you say; for, it you do not tell the truth, we shall know how to deal with you. Henry Webb—Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, I went, in company with Wardle, to the Wellington public-house, in Shepherd-street, Tenter-ground, Spital fields, and saw the landlord of the house, and asked him if be remembered Newland coming into his house on Monday afternoon. He said he did not, and called down the last witness to me. I asked hor if she remembered a young man coming into the parlour on last Monday afternoon. She said, " Whatl do you mean the young man with the bag under his arm?" I answered her in the affirmative, and asked her if she saw any one with him. She said, " Faith there was—a full-faced man as plays cards every night in the taproom." She said, " They call him Hart." I asked her what they had to drink, and she said, " A pint of sixpenny ale, and I gave the young man a sixpence and threepence change." I asked her if the bag was left there, and she said," Yes, and Bill Keates fetched it away, and sure, then, what of that?" I told her not to say anything to any one about it, and she said, "Faith, I shan't." I then spoke to the landlord, who was present during this conversation, and then left the house. The landlord is a very respectable man, and has afforded us every assistance in his power. George Wardle corroborated Webb's statement. James Garton—l am the landlord of the Wellington public-house. I was present at the conversation that pried between Webb and the witness Conway; all that Webb has stated is quite true, as far as I can remember. I did not see Hart on Monday afternoon at my house, but he might have been there without my seeing him, as I was asleep at the time that the officer states ho was there. Hart frequently comes to my house of an even ing. Ido not recollect Conway mentioning the name of Hart in her conversation with Webb. I never saw Levy before. Helen Conway recalled—l never saw any of the pri soners at the bar before in my life. Alderman LAWRENCE--I will keep you, then, until your memory is improved a little. Witness (somewhat alarmed)—Sure, yer Honour, what will you imprison me for? Alderman LAWRENCE—I can commit you to prison for seven days unless you will answer my questions. Witness—Eh, then the Lord save me, yer Honour; why don't you ask your questions, then? Alderman LAWRENCE—Do you remember saying to Webb that Bill Keates came for the bag? Witness— Yer Honour's a gintleman, and now that ye asked me about Bill Kates, I'll tell ye the whole truth about it. A man came in with a bag, and I thought be had rats in i:, and served him with a pint of ale, and he paid me with a fourpenny piece; but I didn't know who be was no inure than the man in the moon. (The prisoner Newland was here requested by Webb to put his hat on.) Alderman LAWRENCE—Do you know the prisoner Newland now ? Witness—Sure, then, I never saw him in all my life. Alderman LAWRENCE—Did he drink the ale ? Wit ness—They went into the parlour. Alderman LAWRENCE —You saw Bill Keates take the bag away ? Witness—l saw a man take the bag away. Alderman LAWRENCE —And his name was Bill Keates ? Witness—lt think it was, then. Alderman LAWRENCE—You know Bill Keates ? Witness—Sure, then, I do, Sir. I have seen him many times. Alderman LAWRENCE—And was the man who took the bag Hart ? Witness—l can't say your Worship. Alderman LAWRENCE—Was it Hart that played at cards ? Witness—Eh, then his name may be Hurt; but I didn't know any on--'3 nnme but Bill Kates. Alderman LAWRENCE—You said just now that the an who took away the bag vt as Bill Ideates, and that it was not Hart. Now, on your oath, woman, W 23 it Bill lieges or Hart ? Witness—Sure, then, don't remember saying so at ail. Alderman LAWRENCE—Did Webb tell you that the man that played at cards in your house was called Hart? Witness—Faith, then, I never saw Webb before. Alderman LAWRENCE—Did you toll Webb tbat the man was called Hart? Witneii—l dare say I did, your Worship. Alderman LAWRENCE—NOW, woman, on your oath, did you tell Webb so? I will have your answer. Witness —I did. Alderman LAWRENCE—Was the young man who paid for the ale the prisoner Newland? Witness—l know nothing about him; I did not look at his face. Alderman LAWRENCE—But you said just now that the young man had the ale. Witness—l don't know. Hart did not have the ale; it was the young man that brought the bag that paid for it. Hart went into the parlour. Alderman LAWRENCE—Did they go into the parlour together? Witness—They did go in together. Alderman LAWRENCE—We will speak by the card. Did ono tollow the other into the parlour? Witness— Yes, your Worship. Alderman LAWRENCE—Is the prisoner that stands before you the man Hart, that you saw go into the par lour with the young man? Wiiness—lt is so scattered in my mind, that I can't recollect if it is or not. 1 don't know that I ever saw him before. Alderman LAWRENCE—I must have that question an scsered, and I shall keep you till your memory gets a little batter. Witness—l cannot help it, your Honour. Alderman LAWRENCE—What kind of a man is the one they call Hart? Witness—A short thick man. Alderman LAWRENCE—What colour was his hair? Witnesa—l declare to God I don't know. Alderman LAWRENCE—Was he a bigger man than the one before you? Witness—lf he is not bigger he is not loss. Alderman LAWRENCE—Is he a bigger man? Answer the question. Witnesa—l believe nor. Alderman LAWRENCE—Was he a less man? Witness —I don't know. He was a short thick man. Alderman LAWRENCE—If you do not answer the questions I shall commit you to prison. Did you tell Webb that the young man brought the bag with a man who played at cards at the house, who was called Hart? Witness—Faith, then, I did, your Worship. Alderman LAWRENCE—And did you see Newland on last Monday afternoon? Witness—l did, Sir. Alderman LAWRENCE—And Hart and Newland you saw go into the parlour on Monday afternoon? Witness —Faith that is true, your Honour. Alderman LAWRENCE—You may stand down now, but you must not go away just yet, for we shall want you again. George Wardle—When I went to serve the summons upon the last witness this morning she said she would not come for any magistrate. Her master tried to per suade her, but she positively refused. I sent down to the magistrate here and got a warrant, and brought her up without any violence on her part. James Saunders, a porter at 35, Gutter-lane, said he saw Newland and Hart in conversation together about a month or six weeks ago, and Newland told him after wards that he had sold a jacket to Hart, but did not get more than about 4d. tor it. He had often seen and heard Hart in Gutter-lane early in the morning. Edward Lawrence Levy, solicitor, here stated on oath, that the prisoner Levy ad been in his house, near Bed ford-square, from eleven o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening of Monday last, the day on which Webb and Newland both stated they saw him in company with Hart. This was also corroborated by a servant of witness's, who stated that Levy was occupied on the day in question cleaning the windows, and knives and forks, &c. About two o'clock she gave him his dinner. Webb here said, that although he was almost certain that be was not mistaken in the identity of Levy, yet he was not so positive as to induce him to swear that ha had actually seen Levy. Alderman LAWRENCE, under these circumstances, thought that Levy must have the benefit of his master's statement, and he would therefore discharge him, but he would remand Newland and Hart, in order that fur ther inquiries might be made to endeavour to get pos session of the missing property. As these persons were leaving the court, Webb ap pealed to the Alderman to protect him from the insults of Mr. E. Lawrence Levy, the late wituess4 and the son of Lawrence Levy, the Sheriff's officer. Alderman LAWRENCE accordingly called them back, and reprimanded Mr. Levy for his indecorous behaviour towards the officer. Mr. Levy—l only said it was a shame for him to try and swear away the liberty of a man. Alderman LAWRENCE—But you were wrong to ad dress him in that style. Webb has only done his duty, and your client cannot complain of that officer's conduct towards him, for he does not swear positively as to his identification of him; therefore I would advise you to say no more about it. The prisoner Levy then left the court with his friends, IVIARLi?OROUGH-STREET. John Edwards, a stout, determined-looking man, was brought before Hardwick, charged with having com mitted a burglary at the house of Mr. Libra, tobacconist, No. 2, Old Compton-street. Police-constables Williams and Peisley, of the C di vision, prov©d the taking of the prisoner into custody and searching him. In the prisoner's possession wore 11 skeleton keys, one of which opened the street-door of the prosecutor's house. The prisoner declined to make any defence, and Ras fully committed. WESTMINSTER. Charles 111'Cuffrey, Theresa, his wife, and Ann Webb, all of whom bore marks of having been engaged in some recent fray, were charge with having so severely wounded and injured Joh❑ Alley, a mulatto, as to place his life in considerable jeopardy. The following certificate was handed in : " St. George's Hospital. " This is to certify that John Alley is an in-patient, and at this time afflicted with scalp wounds and severe contusions of the back. _ . "JAMES ROUSE, House Surgeon. Mr. Cummings said that the wounded man had lock jaw, and had been in a very dangerous state since his admission. Mr. BURRELL observed that it appeared to have been a most desperate affray, and it was his duty at present to remand the accused, which he did until Wednesday next. WORSHIP-STREET. William Weaver, a lad about 16 years of age, and his sister, Emma Weaver, who stood charged with having stolen two pair of boots, and other articles, from the persons of two children, named Richard and Eliza Ives, were placed at the bar, befare Mr. Ilammill, far final examination, and William Weaver, the father of the prisoners, described as a journeyman tailor, was charged with having received a portion of the stolen property. Mr. HAmmILL said that, after the attempted conceal ment of part of the stolen property by the elder prisoner, he had no other alternative but to include him in the charge; and the three prisoners, were, therefore, com mitted to Newgate for trial. LAMBETH. After the business of the court had been disposed of, and as the sitting magistrate, Mr. Norton, was about to leave the bench, Samuel Hill, a keeper in Dr. Arm strong's lunatic asylum, High-street, Peckham, was brought into court in custody of police-constable P 41, and placed in the felon's dock, on a charge of having caused the death of Moses James Barnes, a pauper lunatic belonging to Clerkenwell parish. Mr. James Bennett, the assistant clerk to the board of guardians of the parish of Clerkenwell, deposed that information had reached the board that Moses James Barnes, a pauper belonging to the parish, and who had been sent to the asylum of Dr. Armstrong, in High street, Peckham, was in a dsne,,Trous state through itij u ries inflicted on him by one of the keepers there, on the 23d of last month. A meeting of the board was in con sequence called, and a committee appointed to visit the p b e o o d r m n e a n i n a f o n r d m a investigatetion had n c a r s e e 2e i b v u e dtbeforeof the t h d is ea could be done information had been received of the death of the injured man. Mr. NORTON—How long had the deceased been in the asylum? Mr. Bennett—He had been sent to the asylum about six or seven months ago, I should think, from the parish of Marylebone, and for three months he has been chargeable to Clerkenwell. Mr. NORTON—What proof have you got that any inju ries had been inflicted on the deceased by the prisoner? Mr. Bennett—None at present, Sir; but I shall be in a position, on a future day, to show that the prisoner, who was the keeper over the deceased, had fractured his arm, and though the limb was so fractured, and very much contused and swollen, he (the prisoner) had con cealed the tact from the medical officer of the establish ment. Besides, it was the prisoner's duty, on discovering anything the matter with the patients under his care, at once to report the circumstance to the surgeon or me dical officer of the asylum; yet, in this instance, the in jury was inflicted on the Monday, and it was not until the Friday following that he called the attention of the surgeon to it. Mr. NORTON—Is it your opinion that the prisoner must have been aware of the nature and extent of the injuries? Mr. Bennett—Oh, yes, Sir; he must have been quite aware of the fact, for it was part of his duty, and the fact shall be proved on a future day, to assist in un dressing the deceased, so that there cannot be the slightest doubt on the subject. The surgeons belonging to the asylum, assisted by those of the Commissioners of Lunacy, are engaged at present in making a post mortent examination of the body of the deceased, and therefore they are not in attendance to give their evidence. Police-constable Samuel Brierley, 41 P, said that on au application having been made on that afternoon by Mr. Bennett, at the station-house, he, by direction of his superior officer, accompanied that gentleman to the 'emetic asylum of Dr. Armstrong, when the prisoner was pointed out to him as the keeper of the deceased prior to his death. The witness, addressing the prisoner, told him be should take him into custody on a charge of having caused the death of a pauper inmate, but he made no reply whatever. Mr. NoraoN—Well, prisoner, this is a very serious charge against you, and therefore I feel bound to caution you, that anything you say may be taken down and used against you. If, however, after this caution, it is your wish to say any thing to the charge I am bound to hear you. Prisoner—l deny the charge altogether. Mr. NORTON—Do you deny having the charge and care of the deceased for three months? Prisoner—No, I don't deny that; but the evidence given against me is false on three points. Mr. NORTON-- Well, you can ask the witnesses any questions you think proper. Prisoner—No, Sir, I shell reserve my defence for another occasion. Mr. NORTON was about to remand the prisoner for the following (this) day, but having been told that the ingimst would not take place before Monday, he extended the remand to a week, and the prisoner, who seemed a powerful and determined looking person, was removed from the bar. TRAMIES. James Thompson, an old and apparently feeble man, described as a porter, and George Saunders, a stout able bodied fellow, were brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with being in an unoccupied house with a quantity of house-breaking implements in their possession, with in tent to commit a burglary. Yesterday morning, at two o'clock, an active officer named William Gifford, No. 155 H, observed the door of an unoccupied house open on his beat in the New road, St. Georges's-in-the-East. The house adjoined the premises of Mr. Thomas, watchmaker and jeweller, where there was a very large and valuable stock depo sited. Gifford, knowing the door was closed when he passed an hour before, and immediately suspecting some thing was wrong, entered the house, and upon turning on his bull's-eye lantern confronted Saunders, who had his shoes off, and who, upon seeing the policeman, made an attempt to run up stairs. Gifford was preparing to follow, when the prisoner struck at him with a life pre server, and called out to some one above. Gifford then turned baek, sprang his rattle, and obtained the assist ance of Aish, another policeman, No. 453 A, with whom he cautiously ascended the stairs to the top of the house without meeting with any one, but on getting out on the roof they saw both prisoners clambering over the roof of the adjoining house, arid called upon them to surrender, which they refused to do, and threatened that if the officers dared to follow them they would hurl them into the street and break every bone in their bodies. The officers, nothing daunted, pursued the two thieves, who displayed much activity. Gifford soon overtook Saunders, on the roof of a third house, and was about to seize him, when the prisoner turned round, grappled with the constable, and threw him upon the tiles on his back. A fearful conflict took place. Gifford grasped the prisoner firmly by the neck, and they rolled over and over the roof, at the imminent peril of their lives, until Gifford was compelled to let go, and rolled into the gutter close to the parapet, narrowly escaping going over into the street. Saunders then followed the foot steps of his companion over the roofs of other premises, and the constables began pelting them with tiles, and dealt them so many s eve r e bl ows th a t th e y stopped on the roof of the sixth, house from the one they entered, and said they would go no further; but just as Gifford and Aish came up with them both jumped on to the root of the next house, several feet below the other. The officers told them to come up again, and not put their necks in jeopardy any longer, on which the old man said he would nut be captured, and that he would jump into the street, if he broke his legs, if the constables did not retrace their steps; and added, "I know you have got me this time—death is preferable to a prison." Gifford was not to be deterred by this threat, and ho jumped down upon Thompson and secured him. Aish followed his example, and seized the other prisoner. On taking the prisoners back to the shop of the un occupied house the officers found several housebreak ing implements upon them, and in the shop Thompson's hat, a skeleton key, a piece of candle, a screwdriver, lucifer-matches, and other things. Oa both prisoners were found bottles containing a preparation of oil of anniseed and some other stuff, which the officers had no doubt was intended to be used to poison the dog at the jeweller's shop. Mr. INcaram asked if there was any communication between the unoccupied house and the premises occupied by the jeweller and watchmaker? Gifford said there was. The yard at the back of the untenanted house adjoined the one at the back of the jeweller's shop, and the thieves could have easily passed from and to the other, and got into the jeweller's shop at the back window. Mr. INGHAM—It there a dog kept in the jeweller's shop? Gifford—There is, Sir. Police-sergeant Eves, 14 H, said that after the pri soners were brought to the station-house, he went back to the house where the prisoners were first seen, and found in the cellar a bottle of gin, a preparation for poi soning the dog, and a crowbar which appeared to have been used in making a hole in the wall dividing the tene ment from the jeweller's house. He afterwards went over the roofs of the houses, and discovered on the top of that occupied by a Mr. Barnstable a stout piece of cord fas tened through the hole of the gutter, and thrown over the coping into a stable-yard, about thirty or forty feet below the roof. This was no doubt intended as a dallier ressort by the thieves if they had been intercepted in the unoccupied house, after committing the burglary. Both prisoners were unknown to the police, and refused to give their addresses. Mr. INGRAM sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. WOOL TRADE —LONDON, JAN. 2.—There has been a steady business doing in most descriptions, and the market is firm. The imports of wool into London during the week ending to day have been 755 bales, of which CBl were from Taganrog, 45 from France, 24 from Ger many, and 5 from Madras. ENGLISH WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JAN. 3,—Th ere has been a fair amount of business done this week, and prices continue to have au upward tendency. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JAM. 2.—V ery f ew buyers in the market, as usual at this season. Not much offering, and prices firm. Imports the past week:-220 bales Donskoi, 5 Gibraltar, 2,016 Alpaca from Islay, Buenos Ayres, and 200 Spanish. SOUTH DEVON WOOL MARKET,—The demand for yolk wool continues brisk, and most of the small lots have been sold. The great holders, who are the princi pal landowners and agriculturists, stand out for advanced prices, end yolk wool during the last week advanced to SJI per Ih. It is certainly cheering to state that all workpeople have full employment, and provisions coq7 tinue pientiful and cheap. TRADE OF LEEDS. —Tuesday being the last day Of the year, and requiring the attendance of the'merchants in their own warehouses and counting-houses, caused the attendance in the Cloth Halls to be very limited; consequently the business done has only been small, and the market generally was quiet and inactive. - STATE OP TRADE.—MANCEESTIR, JAN. 3.—We have had a better demand since Tuesday, with increased [inn. ness. The causes which then combined to depress the market were somewhat checked by the arrival of the Arctic, with accounts of cotton having recovered ie. to lc., and holders not offering. The bareness of stocks, and heavy contracts held by both spinners and manufac turers, also prevented any giving way. The general tone is that of extreme healthiness, and ,producers are sanguine of a further improvement. Some spinner* have orders extending over March. In goods, 40-inch shirtings and the different makes for hoate trade pur poses are scarce, and more difficult to buy. Messrs. DO Fay and Co., in their annual circular, show a falling off in the exports of last year, compared with 1849, of 27,500,0J01b. of yarn, and 46,000,000 yards of plain goods. In the former the decrease has been divided chiefly between Holland, Russia, Turkey, and India. In the latter there has been a tailing oft to Turkey and the , lonian Islands of two-thirds; more than a fourth to the Brazils, and a fifth to Gibraltar and Spain. There has hi en an increase in printed and dyed cottons Of 36,000,000 yards; 20,000,000 of which have gone to India.' The excess to the latter quarter is supposed 10 have arisen from the satisfactory sales of produce. may also be partly accounted by the high price of the raw material, waking the common and heavier qualities relatively dearer, and will explain the depressed condi tion of these goods both here and is America during the past year. The working classes are in lull employment, and possess greater comforts and enjoyments.. It is satisfactory also to observe a good feeling between them and their employers. BRADFORD, JAN. 2.—Wools—The year opens with great firmness in price for ull kinds of combing wools, and the transactions are not animated. Yarns are in steady request, equal to the production, and firm is price. The business doing is chiefly for the home trade, so that any orders given out for shipping may give a further improvement in prices. Pieces—The advancod price of yarns compels the rnanulacturers to seek higher prices for goods. and the business doing is at an 101 provement of last month. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—Lace—The past week having been principally devoted to holiday- making, but very little business has been done; but now that the merry' making is ended, persons who intend sending goods to the Great Exhibition are setting themselves earnestly to work to prepare fur that purpose; and, from all we hear, this trade will in nowise be behindhand in this great work. Hosiery—There is scarcely any change to note in the various branches of this trade. The export trade still continues to a fair extent, and the prospect of demand for spring goods for the home trade is ♦ery flattering. We sincerely hope the trade of this year will prove as beneficial to all employed in it as the last was.—. Nottingham Journal. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

HUNTING ON THE RAILWAY. — On Thursday week, a stag turned out by Baron de Rothschild , followed by about thirty couples of hounds, jumped on to the railway near Cheddington, and dashed along the cutting ill the direction of Tring, at a time when both the up and (lowa mails were due. Our old friend Tom Ball, although dread' ing that both the hounds and the stag would be destroyed , did not lose his presence of mind; and getting on to one of the bridges, luckily succeeded in calling the hounds off the line pri,r to either of the trains coming up. The stag, hal' ever, was unfortunately cut to pieces. —Bucks Chronicle.
