Notwithstanding the holiday s, there has been a very fair am o unt of business done during the week, and from pre sen t prospects we may reasonably calcu late on an acti v e market during the coming one. Several. Devon Great Consols shares have changed hands during the week. The accounts, which are in course of preparation for the annual meeting, will show that the assets, over liabilities , will exceed the amount of last year by upwards of 12,000 /. lleingston Dawn Consols is reported to have very much improved, and shares have been in request at former quotations, and business done at an advance. Trelawny shares have been inquired for; the sale of 139 tons of silver-lead ore, sold this week, realised upwards of 2,3001. South Tolgus, Stray Park, Carn Brea, Bedford United, and Treviakey and Barrier shares have been in demand. At South Basset meeting, the statement of accounts presented showed a profit of 1,9571. 17s. 91 for Jan. and Feb. workings. A dividend , of 151. per share was declared, leacing balance of 518/. ss. 4d. to next MONDAY EVENING-, APRIL 8, 1850. account. The mine is reported to be looking re markably well ; the shares were increased to 256. T.le Lisburne Mine ,, , in Cardigan, under the ma nagement of Messrs. J. Taylor and Son, declared, on Thursday, the 4th inst., a dividend of 1,5001. for the two months' working, being 151. per share. The shares are in demand, and the mines in a highly-pro ductive position. At the Cefn-Gwyn meeting, it appeared the costs from the commencement had been 6281.75. 6d., leav • ink; a balance against the mine of 1281. 7s. A call of 10i. per share was made. At the Great Rough Tor Consols meeting the ac counts for the past seven months showed a balance of 531/. 1 ls. 6d. against the mine, to discharge which, and to provide for the estimated expenditure till October next, a call of 31. 103. per share was made, when it is fully anticipated that some important im provements will have been made. The present pro spects are more cheering than they have hitherto been. The Wellington Mines bi-monthly account showed balance of 1491. 14c. sd. in favour of adventurers. The mines are reported to be looking highly encou raging-150 tons of copper were sampled on the 26th. From the western part of C irn wall we learn that several of the mines have considerably improved of late, and important discoveries have been made. Alfred Consols continues progressively improving. Botallack and Levant exhibit very great improve ments. At Bosorn they have a beautiful rich course of ore in the bottom level, and shares have much ad vanced. Boswidden is much improved, and in the locality shares are in demand. Twenty tons of ore have been sold at Bryn-arian, at 131. per ton. The mine is said to be looking very well—the ore better for silver on sinking deeper. At the Wheal Courtenay meeting, a call of 21. per share was made. A report from the agent was read, which was highly satisfactory, and it is expected no further calls would be required. At the Guadalcanal meeting, the deed of settlement, which had been prepared according to a resolution at a previous meeting, was read and explained by Mr. Duncan, the solicitor, and was eventually approved, and ordered to be immediately laid before the regis trar for his approval. At the annual meeting of the Barossa Range Mining Company, the accounts were audited, and other official business transacted. The reports repre sent the prospect of the mines as encouraging, and that between 50 and 60 tons of copper ore had been shipped for England. Shares in the following mines have changed bands since our last :—Devon Great Consols, Treviskey and Barrier, Trelawny, South Basset, South Tolgus, Stray Park, Daren Mines, Penzance Console, Heign ston Downs, Trehane, Botallack, East Wheal Rose, West Caradon, Bedford United, Callington, South Tamar, West Providence, Grambler, Gustavus, I'en darves, Trethellan, Herodafoot, Bwlch, Esgair Lice, Lamherooe Wheal Maria, Wheal Vincent, Wheal Sarah, Pennant and Craigwen, &c. In Foreign Mines there have been several trans actions, especially in Imperial and National Brazi lians, United Mexican, Santiago, and Cobre shares. Copiapo, Linares, St. John del Rey, and General Mining shares have been done. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday :—] FRANCE.

A woman, with a child about three years of age in her arms, and who stated herself to be enceinte, ap plied to the magistrate for pecuniary aid under, the following distressing circumstances : Applicant stated that she was the unfortunate widow of Alexander Monro, a smith and iron boiler maker, who met an untimely end by the wreck of the Royal Adelaide. He had been at work for some time at Devonport, and having transmitted her tri fling sums for her support, joined the ill-fated vessel on Thursday, at Plymouth, to come to London. Hearing of the calamitous wreck of the Royal Adelaide, and having too much reason to believe that her husband had taken his passage on board of her, she immediately instituted inquiries, and re ceived the following communication, which she pro duced : " London, Southampton. Dublin, and Belfast Steam Packet-office, Plyaioui h. "Sir,--Your favour of the 4th is before me. I have sent to 9. Rose-street, end find that Monro left them with the intention of proceeding to London by the Royal• Adelaide, and from his name being on the way-bill I have no doubt ho is the man inquired for. My water man, who took his ticket and received his fare, has no recollection of his person. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " ROBERT CLARKE. "Mr. James Hartley, 137, Leadenhall-street, London." This was accompanied by a certificate from the gen tleman to whom it was addressed, stating that the communication was a correct copy of the letter received from Mr. Clarke, the company's agent at Plymouth. The poor woman, who gave her address, stated that her husband had served in the British legion in Spain, and produced his pension paper in confirma tion of her account. Applicant, in reply to inquiries from the magis• trate, stated that she had some bread allowed her from the parish, and a trifling allowance of meat. She expected her confinement to take place in the course of next month. Mr. BURRELL commiserated her unfortunate situa tion, and ordered her to receive ss. from the poor-box, for which she appeared very grateful. CLERKENWELL. William Jolly, a respectable looking man, was finally examined, charged with having defrauded Mr. S. Newman, cattle talesman, of Compton-street, Clerken well, of 641. Mr. Wakeling, the solicitor, attended for the pro secution. He said the prisoner had been employed by the prosecutor fur a lengthened period to purchase cattle, for which he was paid 83. per head, and hav ing mentioned that he h.ld made some extensive bar pins with several graziers, the money was given to him by the prosecutor to make them good, when he appropriated the same to his own use. Ile was fully committed for trial. LAMBETH. George Poulter, an omnibus conductor, in the ser vice of Mr. Dackhano, was finally examined before Mr. Norton, on a charge of stealing a sovereign, the money of Mr. Thomas Lewis, a tradesman residing at Clapham. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared a few nights ago he rode in the omnibus of the prisoner was the conductor, and on reachil4 his house in fligh.street, Clapham, gsve hit°, what he supposed to be a shilling, but which turno out to be a sovereign. He, however, asked the prisone r at the time if it was not a sovereign, who, afte r looking at it close to a gaslight, replied that it 0 1 not—that it was only a shilling ; an d, g i v i ng him G,f change, called out to the driver to go on. On mote ing his house the prosecutor at once found that it 0 a sovereign he had given the prisoner, and on the for lowing day asked for it, but the prisoner positively asserted that it was on ly a s hilli ng b e received, 0° was very impudent in his manner. lt subsequentli came to the knowledge of the prosecutor that the prisoner had acknowledged to the omnibus driyee o e the same night that some person had given bite sovereign for a shilling, and the driver having CO°' firmed the fact he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner did not deny the charge, but said the if he had taken the sovereig n f or a s hilli ng b e ous t have parted with it for the same amount. Mr. NORTON remarked that the case involves very nice point of law, namely, whether the prog' il cuter, in having given the sovereign voluntarily, ns actually parted with his property in it; and to r ende r the case one of felony, it would be n ecessary t o. sb°i that he had not parted with his pr o p er ty i n it. TO„ ' could be no moral doubt, however, th a t th e mews' 0 ' of felony, and as the law, fortunately, p rov id e d enotbei , mode of punishment, he should deal with the case / one of misconduct of the prisoner in hi s serv i ce , 0,11 commit him to prison for two months. Charles Morris, a well-dressed person, representi_ A a himself as a converted Jew, w as aga i n b roug ht WI lt the sitting magistrate for further e xa mi n ati on , charge with attempting to obtain money f rom th e ev. v e Steane, Baptist minister of Camberwell, by false i t presentations..

In this sitting Baron Bodelsohwing separated from the party he himself had formed (Bahnhofs partei) and from his own programme of the 22d of March. In conse quence of this step there was no majority of votes, either for the immediate ac ce pt a ti on o f t h e Ch arter or for a revision of the same by the Parliament ; and the committee, instead of bringing in a report to the House, must confine itself to two contradictory state ments of the opinions of its members. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette) STAFF, &c.—The abolition of the North Eastern Counties and the Athlone districts have deprived Major. General Thorne, C. 8., and Major-General Wemyss, C. 8., of their commands. The staff ap pointmena of Lieutenant Kennedy, 36th Regiment, Colonel W yndyard, unattached, Colonel Sir M. Creagh, Brevet-Colonel C. C. Johnson, Lieutenant Wemyss, and Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, have like wise ceased. Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, K.H., succeeded to the office of Assistant-Adjutant-General of the Kil kenny district. Lieutenant-Colonel Johnson, late of the Athlone district, has succeeded Lieutenant-Colonel T. F. S. Clarke, as Quartermaster-General of the Kilkenny district. Colonel Cox, K 11. of the Limerick district, has been appointed Acting Assistant Quartermaster- General. Some changes have taken place in the Recruiting Department. Lieutenant Cureton, 3d Light Dra goons, has succeeded Lieutenant Cooke as Superin tending officer of the London Cavalry Recritting Sub-division. Lieutenant Platt, 13th Light In fantry, has replaced Lieutenant Evans, 69th Foot, at Gloucester, and Lieutenant Grant, 2d Queen'', has relieved Lieutenant King, 21st Fusiliers, in the Li. merick Recruiting District. CANDIDATES FOR COMMISSIONS.-37 young gen tlemen were examined at Sandhurst Military College on Thursday, as to their fitness to receive commis sions in the British army, four of whom only are sup posed not to have passed the ordeal. THE ROYAL YACHTS.—As we anticipated, the royal yachts were not complete for use by the Ist of April. The Victoria and Albert, although ordered to be hastened, will not be ready for the sea until the 31st of this month. The Fairy is complete, with the exception of painting. REDUCTIONS IN THE COAST GUARD.—It is esti mated that the reductions which have recently taken place in the Coast Guard Service amount in value to about 45,0001. per annum. The principal reduction has been effected in the diminution of the number of revenue cruisers. There are now only 48 remaining in commission. The next great item of reduction hats been in the mounted preventive men, and in the re formation of the Irish Branch of the Coast Guard Service. About 1,2001. a year has been saved in office salaries, &c. THE COAST GUARD RETIREMENT.—Since the pass ing of the Order in Council for the retirement of Coast. Guard Lieutenents, eight out of the ten officers of the first class have been superannuated on 301. per annum, viz.:—Lieutenants J. Conjuit (1821), John Heed Jeffries (1815), John Roth!ry (1815), John Macnevin (1810), George GAan (1815), J. S. M. Watson (1826), Thomas E. James (1815), Thomas Jackson (1815). Thus there are two vacancies in the first class; and the entire twenty of the second class, at 201. per annum, remains to be filled up. Circulars have again been issued, calling upon the pensioners to register their names for service as Gaards for convict ships proceeding to the Austra lian colonies. Colonel Campbell, late 9th Dragoons, whose sudden death we announced last week, had forwarded his papers to the authorities at the Horse Guards, for permission to retire from the service by the sale of his commission. Major Lethbridge, of the Royal Artillery, Assistant Fire Master at Priddy'6 Hard Magazine, Portcinouth, has resigned that appointment, and we understand that Mr. Jenkins, the storekeeper, is about to be re moved to another station. REGIMENTAL FRACAS —lt appears that the ap p)intment of an old Captain, who lately joined from half--pay a regiment stationed at Portsmouth, has given much umbrage to the junior officers of the corps. They have, in consequence, been in the habit of annoying him in every possible way and occasion. On Wednesday evening, the 27th of March, the regiment give a dinner, and some of the juveniles being elevated wish wine, took it into their heath to break open the door of the • Captain's-room, who, on appearing• to inquire what they wanted, was saluted with the contents of a tub of water in his face, and otherwise insulted. Two of the ringleaders were placed in arrest, and the whole affair fully investigated. The Captain, however, not wishing to press the matter further, the officers were released from arrest with a severe reprimand. REVISION OF THE NAVAL UNIFORM. --We hear from good authority that it is the intention of the Admiralty to revise the present regulations for the uniform of the Royal Navy, with the view of reduc ing the costly expenditure of the junior officers. It is said that epaulettes are to be altogether abolished ; and it is a question whether the antiquated cocked hat will be retained for use on board ship. THE VETERAN'S COMFORTS.—The Commissioners . for the management of the affairs of the Royal Mili tary Hospital, Chelsea, have caused an evening meal of one pint of tea to be issued to the pensioners. The rations at the institution are excellent, now consisting of four meals per day. 11TH Hussars.—Major Jones has been released from arrest, and has returned to his duty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Edmund Woodland, the son of a highly respectable and extensive brewer in Twickenham, was summoned before Alderman Challis for refusing to support his illegitimate child. From the statement of the complainant, who is a very interesting y oung lady, and whose connexions are exceedingly respectable, it appeared that the de- , fendant paid his addresses to her about four years ago, since which time his attentions had been so marked that all her friends and relatives considered him in the light of her future husband, and treated him as such. About 12 months ago defendant took her on a plea sure trip to Richmond-park, and there succeeded in removing all her scruples, urging that it could make no difference to her as he would marry her in a few days. He afterwards repeatedly promised her mar riage, until the birth of the child, when he discon tinued his attentions altogether, and engaged himself to a young lady possessing some fortune. When he was called upon by the complainant to fulfil his pro-. mise of marrying her, he said he could not do so without consulting his " papa" on the subject.. Find ing she could obtain no satisfactory redress from him, she applied to this court in the hope that the Alder man would order him to support the child. The order was then made upon the defendant, who did not appear to the summons. BOW- STREET. Oa Tuesday last a serious quarrel toook place at the Strand Theatre between Joseph Mathews, the stage carpenter, and a man named Lepridge, a scene-shifter. They had been engaged in the boxes and Lepridge, being intoxicated, seized Mathews by the collar and threw him into the orchestra, falling on him. Mathews was so seriously injured that he was taken to King's College Hospital. Lepridge was given in charge to the police, and lodged in the station•house. He was brought before the magistrates at this office next day, but was remanded, as the injured man was incapable of attending. Lepridge was this day brought up, and Mathews appeared, although suffering severely from the in• juries he had received. His left arm was in a sling, his face covered with contusions, and he was evi dently suffering from other injuries. William Wray, the painter's assistant, stated that on Tuesday last he was in the act of setting the scenes, when the prisoner and Mathews entered the theatre ; both appeared to have been drinking. Mathews desired witness to complete some work which the prisoner was incompetent to execute, and this excited his anger (he was naturally ill-tempered• when affected by liquour), and he endeavoured to pick a quarrel, first with the gasman and then with witness, but they both evaded him. He then turned to Mathews, who ran into a box to escape his fury, but he entered the adjoining box, climbed over, and, seizing Mathews by the neck, threw him over into the orchestra with such force that part of the fittings was torn away. He fell with himon the kettledrum, and Mathews was so much injured that it became necessary to convey him to the hospital in a state of insensibility. Mathews, who was scarcely able to stand, now said that the prisoner was an excellent workman, and when sober an extremely inoffensive man. On the day in question, while in a state of intoxication, he was en raged at the last witness being directed to finish his work ; and being desired to leave the theatre became still more violent, and committed the assault, from the consequences of which he was now so pain fully suffering. Feeling persuaded that the prisoner now deeply felt the impropriety of his conduct, and was sincerely sorry for 'it, and considering that he acted under the maddening effects of drink, with the magistrate's permission he did not desire to proceed further against him. Mr. Norton, of the theatre, also spoke to the general good conduct of the prisoner, and attributed his violence to the cause assigned. Mr. HENRY said, that but for the interposition of Mathews, it was his intention to have sent the case to the sessions. Drunkenness was no excuse for such violence, but rather: aggravated the offence. It was impossible to pass over such conduct without punish. ment, and as a warning to restrain his conduct in future, he should fine him 51., or two months' impri sonment. 81R7718. —. the Ist inst , the wife of.
