It required the arguments of two of the most dis tinguished orators and statesmen in England to re move an impression such as must otherwise have been entertained as to the incongruity or incompatibility of the two sumptuous entertainments given within orty-eight hours of each other towards the close of last week in the heart of the British metropolis. One assemblage, convened in the Mansion-house by the Lord Mayor of London, for the purpose of evincing the general , admiration experienced for the scheme originated by his Royal Highness the Prince CONSORT, whereby in 1851 this great capital will be adorned w ith a vast and cosmopolitan Exposition of Industry, w as in reality and in effect, a celebration of the glories of peace. The other concourse of illustrious personages, collected together in the London Tavern at the behest of our merehant-princes, the Directors of the East India Company, with a view to express their sense and the publih sense of the great services of the Lord Viscount 46onais, was, on the contrary, a direct celebration of the splendour of warlike achievements. Neverthe less, on reflection, the two festivities, as was admi rably intimated by the Noble Premier and by his eminent Oredecessor, were in no respect at variance in principle. No one will have the temerity to gain say the accuracy of that sentiment, which was avowed On Scturday by Lord JoRN RUSSELL, and reiterated by the lips of Sir R. PEEL, that " those who display valour in war and moderation in victory are laying the oun4ation s of internal and international tranquillity," . -- sentlinents so obviously correct as to amount to some thing very little abort of the baldest truism. Hence, therefore, theenthusiasm evinced upon both occasions may be-regarded as perfectly reconcileable, and hence moreover, wo.may be permitted with the fullest con sistency to commend the congratulatory address to the veteran corqueror of Chi na and the Punjaub, although our. sympathy with the pacific enterprise suggested by Prince ALBERT has been so very recently expreSsed in language possessing at the very least the characteristic of earnestnes!. It' anything were required by way of compensation for the dangers and difficulties encountered by a commander-in-chief during campaigns such as those condttedted to a successful issue by the victor of Sobraon and Goojerat, if anything, we say, were-re guireciby way of compensation for passing through such tremendous dangers and such enormous difficul ties,.4eyond the 'secret approval of that inner con scietke which tells a man he has performed his duty to NA -country and his SoVEßElGN—surely ample recom penaQ must be found by the veteran soldier who returns like Lord Goya; in th 9 very meridian of his reptitA• THE SUN, LONDON, tion, to receive the spontaneous homage of a grateful nation. It has so happened, that in very spite of the recollections of Chillian wallah, the brave old General has extorted the cheers, not of adulation but of pride and gratitude—pride in his prowess and gratitude for his achievements—from a community whose congratula tions are only heightened in emphasis by the re. membrance of their momentary, ungenerous, and unmerited abandonment of confidence. Never having ourselves participated in the panic which unhappily at one period spread so widely throughout the population, but having been actuated in our opinion of Lord GOUGH by that implicit reliance on his prowess and capacity which induced Sir Itc.BERT PEEL to declare " at no period of his career did I ever despair of his ultimate success "—we can look with threefold satisfaction upon those tokens of respect and admiration which are just now pouring down plentifully upon the head of the aged conqueror. As if for the unalloyed gra tification of his ambition, he is now, immediately after his return homewards, receiving from all classes and sections of the community the welcome due to his many distinguished services and his many illustrious achievements. From the hand of his SOVEREIGN he has obtained the guerdon of his bravery, and the re ward of his long and glorious career in arms. From the Parliament, from the Government, from the Com pany, from his brother officers, from the leaders of fashion and the leaders of trade, as well as from the great mass of the population, Lord GOUGH has ob tained the assurance that his merits have been appre ciated and his numerous and splendid victories duly recognised. The knowledge of ell this cannot fail to console the victorious veteran for his prolonged absence from his native land, and will doubtless enable him with larger satisfaction to him self to sink into the brilliant obscurity of the peerage, and exchanging the duties of the senator for those of the commander-in-chief, to crown his services as a soldier with his patriotic conduct as a member of the Imperial Legislature. Incidentally during the entertainment given to the Noble Lord in the London Tavern, on Saturday evening, we were gratified to observe the cordiality with which two names of distinguished officers in the sister service, the Royal Navy of England, were mentioned and received—the names, we mean, of Sir WILLIAM PARKER and Sir JOHN FRANKLIN. It was due to the merits of those gallant sailors, that though spoken of as it were merely in parenthesis, their names should be greeted with loud and earnest acclamations. One of them, by his daring and self-sacrificing devotion to the cause of science, and to the credit of his country and of his profession, has expatriated himself during many past winters in the frozen deserts of the Arctic Circle, carried thither in his great voyage of discovery. The other—than whom there is not a nobler or braver sea captain now living in the Royal Navy of England—has, for a considerable time past, in the Indian Ocean, and since then in the Mediterranean Sea, watched over the interest of Great Britain with unwinking vigilance, during days of war, of conspi racy, of intrigue, and of revolution. Tne first, it is true, has exposed himself to the peril of perishing by the horrible death of starvation, while the other, by his bold and brilliant proceedings, not only on the coasts of China, but on those of Italy, Turkey, and Greece, has rendered himself the object of partizsn vituperation. Yet the names of both we are certain are enshrined in the hearts of the people of England, and the achievements of both, we are satisfied, will be inscribed in golden characters in the annals of our maritime greatness. It was as appropriate that the merits of Sir Joan FRANKLIN and of Sir WILLIAM PARKER should have been incidentally acknowledged during the entertain ment given by the East India Company in honour of Lord GOUGE, as it was but just for that great Com pany to welcome thus early and thus earnestly back to his native land the veteran soldier, whose sword has illustrated anew the glories of their empire, and whose victories have so largely extended the limits o their dominion. Among the remarkable trials for murder that have taken place within the last half•century few present more extraordinary features than that of MARY CATHERINB NRWTON, who was arraigned at Shrewsbury last week, on a charge of matricide. II was the third time that the unfortunate woman had appeared before a jury of her countrymen to answer the most serious accusation that could be preferred against anyindividual—an accusation which, if substan tinted, would inevitably have subjected the wretched prisoner to an ignominious and painful death upon the scaffold. There was a legal question of no ordinary importance connected with this part of the case affecting the trial by jury, which has been justly termed the palladium of national liberty. And there was also that pleasing diversity of opinion among the medical witnesses, for which " the profession" has been distinguished from the earliest times, and which has led to the aphorism that " doctors differ." The case was, therefore, one of deep interest to the mein bers of the legal and medical professions, and the re sult of the trial was awaited with the greatest anxiety. It has terminated in an " acquittal," although we be lieve some of our contemporaries took a former jury to task for the difference of opinion that prevented the execution of the party accused. The deceased ANNE NEWTON, whose death formed the subject-matter of investigation, was a person of advanced years, who had survived the ordinary age of mankind, being seventy-two years of age. She was described as " very quick and acute for that time of life, but rather flighty ; not insane, but at times much excited, and would say unreasonable things." She was entitled to a life-interest of 5001. sterling, 2001. of which, on her death, would become the property of her only child, the prisoner, who would also be entitled to a life •interest in the remaining 3001. It was established beyond the possibility of doubt that the daughter had on several occasions behaved in the most cruel and unnatural manner towards her aged parent, having frequently beaten her severely, and expressed an anxious desire for her death, in order that she (the prisoner) might ' come into possession of " her fortune." Repeated re monstrances were made to MART NEWTON on the gross impropriety of her conduct, but without any great effect, although she occasionally promised amendment. Her continued misbehaviour in this respect gave additional weight to the grave suspicions excited by the death of ber mother, and the serious inconvenience to which she has been subjected, her protracted im prisonmen', and numerous trials, may in a great degree be ascribed to her own heartless and unfeeling conduct towards the author of her existence. Oa the evening of the 4th December, 1848, the old woman went to the house of a Mr. Drzst, with whom the prisoner lived as housekeeper, where she remained for the night, sleeping on a sofa in the kitchen. About two o'clock the next morning the sofa was found to be on fire, but it was easily extin guished. On search being made, the deceased ANNI NEWTO N was found in the brewhouse, lying on her face, apparently burned to death. The prisoner, who at the time was in a state of intoxication, used several remarkable expressions, and behaved very strangely in other respects, so as to give some sanction to the opinion that she was in some degree implicated in the transaction. These, however, might in some evening. d eg ree be accounted for by the ma u dli n condition to which she had reduced h ersel f, having con sume d t h e grea ter portion of a quart of rum during the medical e n d inquestiear practitioners w t e h r e e body,examaitn examined,- of whom, who conducted the post-ntortens exami nation, declared that in their opinion the death had been caused by suffocation, and that the injuries from fire had taken place after death, while two other gentlemen expressed opinions more favourable to the prisoner, and thought that there were no certain data whereon to decide whether they took place befure or after death. It was conceded that there had been no examination of the " larynx, trachea, bladder, or rec tum," so that the investigation could not be consi dered as by any means satisfactory. The coroner's jury, who met on ten different occasions, were unable 11) agree as to the cause of death, but the prisoner was fully committed on a charge of wilful murder by the borough magistrates. The first trial took place at the Spring Assizes, 1849 ; the inquiry was continued during two succes sive days. The jury, however, could not arrive at an unanimous decision, and the commission day in the adjoining county having arrived, and it being declared that there was no prospect of theitagreement, they were discharged without a verdict. At the Summer Assizes she was again arraigned, when it was objected to, on her part, that the jury had not been discharged by her consent, or by inevitable necessity, and that, therefore, having been once placed " is jeopardy," she could not again be tried. The point was reserved, and a new jury sworn, who again dis agreed, and were discharged after a long confinement, in consequence of the serious illness of one of their number. On the present occasion she was again in dicted, and, as we have already stated, at length acquitted. It is most desirable that the important point of practice raised by the prisoner's counsel should be set at rest. It is the unquestionable privilege of every British subject that he shall not be kept in durance with a serious charge hanging over his head. If once tried, and, as it is termed, placed" in j eopardy," he cannot be a second time arraigned on the same charge, but may put in a plea of atarefois acquit or autrefois convict to the indictment. There is allowance made for a disagreement by the jury, in which case a second inquiry may take place, but every effort must be made to obtain a conclusive verdict, one way or the other, before their discharge. In the present case, however, no such effort was made. It was not alleged that the health of any of the jury rendered necessary their dismissal. It was done solely for the convenience! of the Learned Judge, who wished to leave the town without further delay, and who occasioned the detention of the prisoner and her fur ther trials, that he might be enabled to do so. We believe that similar decisions have on several occa sions been made on circuit, but that the " point" has never been satisfactorily and coaclusively settled by a full court. This vexata guestio would have been finally determined had the result been unfavourable to the prisoner. As the humane principle of the British law declares that "it is better that ninety nine guilty persons should escape with impunity than that one innocent man should be un justly convicted," it certainly seems that if there was so much doubt in a case that a jury of twelve men could not agree in judgment, and that their deliberations were not cut short by the act of GOD, the prisoner should receive the benefit of that doubt, and be discharged from further proceedings in reference to the alleged offence. Such a course would, we are convinced, be in accordance with the true spirit of the British law, and, although a criminal might occasionally evade the punishment due to his crimes, if such a rule were established many innocent persons would be protected from the greatest incon venience and annoyance, and an additional guarantee would be given for the full security of the liberty of the subject. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. ' We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Constitutionnel and the Patrie, both Ministe rial journals, have declared against the proposed law on the press, which is now opposed by every journal of the metropolis. At a meeting of the club of the Conseil d'Etat, held on Thursday, M. DB LAROCHE.TAQUELIN loudly condemned the Ministerial repressive measures, which were supported by MM. THIERS, MOLE, PISCAToRT, and the other Orleanists. The Legitimatists (at least the LAROCIIEJAQUELIN section of them) ostentatiously ab.tain from mixing themselves up with these most unpopular measures. These measures were dis cussed in the bureaux of the Assembly on Saturday, and a committee, with a majority fa vourable to the measure for the suppression of electoral meetings was returned ; for although in five bureaux no return was made, yet as ten bureaux have nomi nated members favourable to the Ministerial project, there can be no doubt as to the report. 'With regard to the Press Bill, there are nine members of the Com mittee in favour of it, and five who are either for its rejection or its modification. In the course of the discussion in the bureaux, M. DE LAMARTINE said that he looked on Socialism as a passing malady, having its source in ignorance, so that instead of restricting discussion he would allow it full play. General CAVAIGNAC said that he never had refused to Government the means of putting down evils threat ening the security of society, but he thought there was a wide difference between transitory weapons for transient dangers and the establishment of general principles of legislation. Seeing that the late elections had passed off peaceably, he thought it unwise to pronounce censure on the con stitutional exercise of universal suffrage, by having recourse to repressive laws when there was no sedition to repress. M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE protested that he saw no midway between repression and liberty. A coalition of the Monarchist parties had caused a coalition of all shades of Republicanism, and he thought that to meet the elections for Paris by such measures was to throw down defiance to public opinion. M. DE LA ROCUEJAQUELIN, M. DE BEAUMONT, M. COQUEREL, M. VICTOR HUGO, all spoke against the law affecting the press; even M. Tnisus declared that Governments never were saved, and never could be saved, by such expedients. There will be a new election of the Soane et Loire. It appears that at the last election 6,000 persons voted above the registered number of the whole con stituted, and it was likewise stated that 50,000 were kept from voting by intimidation, an accusation ab surd on the face of it, while it appears that 6,000 more than the whole constituency voted. The Com mittee recommended that the election should be confirmed, inasmuch as the majority in favour of the sitting Members was much more than 6,000. The Assembly, however, decided that the election should be null, a decision which might have been foreseen, inasmuch as the returned Members are all Socialists. There can be very little doubt of their re-election. The Gobemouches of Paris, among the most gullible of whom are to be reckoned the correspondents of certain of our reactionary contemporaries, have lately been regaled by a story of a pretended plot for the assassination of the Emperor of RUSSIA, the Emperor of AUSTRIA, the PRESIDENT of the French --- Republic, and various other illustrious personages, all in one day. This notable plan was, it is stated, cornmuni csted to the democratic leaders, and disapproved of by them ; but the concoctors determined to carry it into execution, and accordingly one of them set out on foot, with only a few francs in his pocket, to walk from Switzerland, through France and Germany, to Vienna, to assassinate the Emperor of AUSTRIA, but was arrested, it is said, in France. Su c h i s the absurd story got up by the police, in order to distract public attention from the trial about to com mence at Geneva of the Austrian police spy, charged with endeavouring to suborn persons to assassinate MAzztrir. The inventive genius of the employes of M. CARLIEZ is dull in comparison with that of the ci-devant employes of M. DELESSERT. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, reducing the registry and stamp duty in Algeria to one-half of their amount in France. The Prevoyante frigate is about to proceed from Cberbourg to the west coast of Africa, to form part of the French naval station there.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 23d inst , in the Ruiner Zeitung, corroborates the late news of the revocation of the Prussian Ambassador from the Court of Wurtemburg. Baron SYDOW has been instructed immediately to leave Stuttgard with all the members of the embassy. The Prussian Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Baron ScuLEINIva, has addressed a note to the Wurtemburg Ambassador at the Prussian Court, notifying to that diplomatist the total rupture of all relations between the two Governments. The Upper House of the German Parliament of Erfurth adjourned on the 21st for the Easter holi days. The Lower House was to elect a Speaker on the 25th.

England has broached some fresh demands, which date from Oa war of liberation." ITALY. The French Univers, the organ of the Jesuits, states that it has been officially announced to the King of NAPLES, that the POPE is about to return to Rome. The Univers says : " The day fixed is the sth of April. He will go by land. Still it is possible that the Vauban may transport his Holiness to Terracing. At all events, that ship will carry to Civita Vecchia some of the Cardinals, the employes of the Secretary of Stat.., the archives, &c. Portici is in movement witl preparations for the journey. The Pope and the King are exchang ing compliments. Pius IX. has distributed decora tions to the most distinguished personages of the Neapolitan Court, and the King has done the same to the principal attach& of the Pontifical Court. The Nuncio of the Holy See at Naples, M. Garibaldi, whom you knew formerly when he was Nuncio at Paris, has re c ived the Grand Cordon of St. Janvier. The Holy Father is to go to Cassuta to perform the ceremonies of Holy Thursday. The King and Royal Family will be there. The religious affairs of Piedmont, and especia'ly the Bills lately presented, are a source of serious pre occupation to every one at Portici. The Pope, it is said, is greatly affected by that attack on the Church, and far all that is to be feared for the future." A letter from Florence, of the 15th March, says : "A report is current here of a grave dispute which has arisen between the English Government and the Tuscan Cabinet, relative to the indemnities claimed by the English subjects at Leghorn, fur tie eamages which they, as well as other foreigners, suffered, ar the period of the seizure of the town by the Austrians, and in May lei% People went so far as to announce the speedy ar rival of Admiral Parker becore Leghorn. Nothing hitherto confirms this rumour." On the 19th Count SEYSSEL left Turin for Milan with a protest, signed by the KING and the Ministry, as also by the Ambassadors of France and England, against the law of Marshal RADETZKY on emigration, which is considered a violation of the armistice and conventions of the plenipotentiaries with M. Baucx and the Marshal. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1850 LA BUAN. By her Majesty's brig Albatross, Captain Far quhar, advices have been received from this place to the 12th instant. Sir James Brook*, after his arrival there, suspended the Lieutenant-Governor from office, but on what charge or charges we have not heard. The sale of the town allotments, we are told, went off very briskly, and the lands sold well, there being a considerable competition. The colony was quite healthy ; there has been no fever for many months, and the hospitals are generally empty, having one or two patients at the utmost. Sir James Brooke was much better in health, and may be ex pected to arrive in Singapore at an early date, in the Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis.—Free Press, Jan. 18. We understand that the Commander-in-Chief at Madras, Sir George Berkeley, has expressed an opinion in regard to the occurrence between the •Lieutenant-Governor of Labuan and Captain 111‘Cas kill, to the effect that the gallant officer had entirely misconceived his position, and done exactly the con trary of what he ought to have done. This is the common sense view of the case, and we, therefore, never doubted the result, when the matter was in the hands of so able and impartial a commander as Sir George Berkeley has proved himself to be.—lbid, Feb. 1. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Never since the debut of Cerito has such an effect been produced by the debut of any danseuses as that which was produced by the debut of Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris, at this theatre, on Saturday even ing. Cosier-like, she came, she was seen, and con quered. At eight o'clock on Saturday all that was known of her was that it appeared by the bills that Mdlle. Amalia Ferraris was to make her first appearance in a divertissement and dance a pas de deux with M. Charles, and at 10 o'clock she had established herself, by the unanimous verdict of the habitues of her Majesty's Theatre, as par excellence the queen of the dance, and this on the scene of the triumphs of the elder Taglioni, of Fanny Elsler, of Cerito, of Lucille Grahn, of Carlotta Grisi, of Rosati. Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris possesses every physical requisite for a deesse de /a danse. Her features are beautiful and expressive, and her dark and lustrous eyes are full of fascination —her figure is perfect and exquisitely developed, and her poses are full of grace and abandon.. She is perfect mistress of her art, and unites to the poetic graces of a Taglioni the glittering execution of a Fanny Elsler and the abandon of a Cerito. Her aplomb is " wonderful, and she made all her .‘ points" with an ease and a steadiness that excited the most intense admiration. Not the least pleasing part of her performance was the graceful ease with which she managed the transition from the spiritual and majestic grace of the classical school of the Taglioni to the abandon, the revolving pas of the Cerito, and from this again to the glittering won ful little steps of the Fanny Eisler. As a danseuse she is perfect; we have none, we have had none, who, like Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris, has seized upon the beauties of such opposite schools, and made them all her own, combining them with a style in which the animation of the realist school is in fused and inspired by the majestic and graceful in spiration of the idealist. Her reception was at first rather cold, but she had scarcely commenced her pas before she warmed her audience into enthusiasm ; throughout her performance she was greeted with repeated bursts of the most rapturous applause, and at its conclusion she was called forward and honoured with a complete ovation. Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris is, we understand, from the Royal Opera at Piedmont, and the thanks of every lover of ballet are due to Mr. Lumley for having discerned and secured her services for her Majesty's Theatre. The opera was Ernani, in which Mr. Sims Reeves and Parodi again produced a perfect furore by their impassioned performance in the finale, and were at the conclusion called before the curtain to receive the well-merited reward of their exertions. The ballet was Les Metamorphoses, in which Carlotta Grisi was as espiegle and as graceful as ever. There were pre sent his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds, and Miss Elizabeth Lane Fox, his Excellency the Russian Minister, Baroness de Brunnow, and Madlle. o:ga de Lechner, his Excellency the Swedish Minister and the Baroness Rehausen, M. de Berg, the Count de Barke, the Marquis an d M arc hi oness of Salisbury, the Marquis of Donegal, the Mar. quis and Marchioness of Bland t frd h o e , Ea t r h l e ( .11. 4. 1a L rq on u s is of . dale G , r th an e b E Y' a r t l h of E Falmouth b ° and e the Countess of Glen gall, the Countess de Flahault and Miss de Fiahault. the Countess of Cardigan, Earl Bru ce , th e E ar l o f Shelburne.

TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg leave to state that there is no truth in the article from th e Zifoniteur du Soir, reporting the deathofSi I Signor Gardoni, and me a long letter fromd copied into th e S un of Saturday. St. Petersburgh, written by Signor Gardoni on the 11th, and posted on the 12th of March ; therefore posterior to the date of his alleged decease. In this letter I find the following passage, which shows that there have not even existed plausible grounds for this malicious rumour :—" As regards my health, I have only one thing to observe, that except one night in October, on my first arrival here, I have al ways been able to respond to all the demands of the management, which have not been few, having successfully sung in Puritani, Beatrice, Norma, Elisir, Conte Ory, Linda, Giovanna d'Arco, Roberto it Diavolo, Orazii e CUrj• aZil, &c." I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, 5 a, Cork-street, March 24. G. PUZZI. Ma. BUNN ON TIM STAGO.—The highly instruc- live, amusing, and intellectual entertainment, lately given by Mr. Bunn, at the St. James's Theatre, closed on Saturday night last with the most brilliant Eclat, when Mr. Bunn delivered the following farewell address to; a highly fashionable audience, amongst whom we perceived several distinguished members of the literary world : " Ladies and gentlemen, —lt would .be the height of ingratitude were I to suffer this evening to pass over without acknowledging the heavy obligations your kindness has imposed upon me. You have given ri? throughout my undertaking a recep tion rarely allotted to performers of the highest standing, by virtue of which I have received provincial offers, I am now going to carry o u t i n ever y p a rt of th e em pi re; and I will trespass on yon no further than to say, that when I cease to remember this I hope you will cease to remember me." At the conclusion of this appropriate speech Mr. Bunn was recalled before the curtain by the unanimous greetings and applause of his delighted auditory, when a classic wreath (to which was appended a card, on which something was written) was thrown to him, when a fresh salvo of applause burst from all parts of the house. The Europa, Captain Gott, sailed from Liverpool OD Saturday for Halifax and New York, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 800 American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The market closed heavily at previous rates.—Railway Shares conti nued very dull, without any material alteration in value. In the Grain Market to-day wheat has moved off freely, at full prices. The following are pertions of a statement upon the dried fruit trade, furnished us by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:— " We have no alteration in the currant market to notice since our last report; its characteristic has been one of perfect monotony; only two cargoes received; the sales of an unusually contracted extent for the season, and, with some fee- exceptions, limited to second-hand parcels. Importers may almost be said to be out of the market, by reason of their high pretensions, caused by the continued advance of price at the several places of growth, by the fact of our stock being about one-third less than that of March 1849, and of the quantity to arrive here during the remainder of the season, not being likely much to exceed our reqeiretnents, if our cl , arances equal those of last season during the corresponding period. " We ha I hoped to announce this month an increase in our clearances for home consumption, to make up in part for the falling off which we noticed in our last report, but we find from the 19th ult. to the 15th inst. they have not exceeded 300 tons against 605 tons during the like period of 1849. and against 420 tons, 635 tons, and 390 tons in 1848, 1847, and 1846 respectively. At Liverpool, on tee contrary, they exhibit a decided im provement, having reached during the four weeks ending 12th inst. 395 tons, against 285 and 304 tons during the corresponding weeks of 1849 and 1848 respectively. The clearances at this port during the last three months of 1848 and 1849 were alike, sly about 4,680 tens respectively; but from. the Ist January to the 28th February of this year they have fallen off to the extent of about 750 tons, having been 820 tons in 1850 against 1,570 tons in 1849. At Liverpool there was an unexpected decrease during the last three mouths of 1849, of about 240 tons, but an in- ' crease of about 85 tons from Ist January to 28th Fe bruary, 1850, making an aggregate comparative falling ' off since Ist October of about 150 tons." The prevalence of contrary winds still keeps out a large number of arrivals, but the dates brought by the sailing vessels will generally be old, as the steamers oc casionally dropping in furnish an outline of the news. The Thames steamer, with the West Indian and Mexican mails is hourly expected. When the homeward bound fleet arrives, there will be an immense addition to the quantity of produce held here, and the effect on prices may be correspondingly prejudicial, though it is probable that fair allowance has already been made for this, otherwise we should for some time past have had greater buoyancy. The arrivals from the Continent are exceedingly limited, and there is no very prominent political intelli gence. No one, however, who takes an interest in the affairs of foreign countries can fail to regard with solici tude tke condition of French finances, elucidated as this occasionally is by the reports of the Ministers for the time being, or of the Committees. The latest state ment concerns the budget of receipts for 1850, and the necessity of equalising expenditure and income is very properly admitted, but, as far as we can ascertain, by no means acted upon. The savings proposed amount but to 84,000,000 francs, off a gross sum of 11,408,000,000 f., 326,000,0001, being for the interest of the debt. At a time when the revenue is admitted to be only 1,251,523,967 f., no arrangement is made for wholesale retrenchment, and the aalt duties alone have entailed a loss of forty-one million of franca. We should be glad if we could believe that the total deficiency of income compared with the ex penditure for 1850 would be under fifty millions, but there appear to be such constant changes in the financial plans of the State, and there is such frequent recourse to extraordinary votes, that we cannot indulge any con fident expectations. Business in the English Stock Market has been very inactive again, and prices have undergone no fluctuation worth noting. In the aspect of foreign politics there is nothing encouraging, but the abundance of money here tells powerfully, aided, too, by the impression that, as confidence abroad becomes impaired French and other Securities will be disposed of by the holders, with the view of investing the proceeds in Console. These latter have been 951 1 for Transfer, and 951 1 for Account. Exchequer-bills are steady at 62'. to 635. premium, and India Bonds at 86s. to 88s. premium.

The principal country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with both English and Foreign Wheat. Fine qualities were in moderate request, at full prices. In tno middling and inferior kinds compa ratively little was doing. All spring Corn ruled dull, and in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency. The latest advises from the United States represent the Grain and Flour trade as steady. In the continental ports very little has been doing in Grain, the quotations of which have given way Is per quarter. Up to our market last week the arrivals of Englisk Grain were moderate. From abroad we received 6,920 quarters of Wheat; 19,414 ditto of Barley; 29,705 ditto of Oats; 200 ditto of Rye; 3,361 ditto of Beans; 869 ditto of Peas; 1,136 ditto of Tares; 332 ditto of Linseed; 546 ditto of Rapeseed; 9 ditto Mustardseed; 76 ditto sundry Seeds; 1,992 sacks and 220 brls of Flour. The qaantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our market to-day coastwise, was small. By land carriage and sample, the receipts of that grain were trifling in the extreme. As has been the case for some time past, the stands were very scantily supplied with parcels of home-grown Wheat, the quality of which was, how ever, arising from the fineness of the weather, unusually good. The supply from Essex was speedily cleared off, and in some instances rather more money, say is per quarter, was obtained by the factors for the finest white. In all other kinds a steady business was transacted, at fully last week's quotations. Offers still continue to reach us from the east coast, to ship Wheats at ruling currencies. The show of fresh foreign Wheat was but moderate, but that of granaried samples was good. Fine qualities commanded a steely, though not to say brisk, inquiry, at very full prices. The middling and inferior descriptions were in moderate request, at late rates. We were fairly supplied with English Barley. That of foreign was very extensive. All kinds were a dull inquiry, at a decline in the quota tions of is per quarter, at which very little progress was made in sales. The quantity of Malt offering was con siderably in excess of the d•mand, which ruled heavy, at barely the late decline in value. Home-grown Oats were in very moderate supply. That of foreign was ex tensive. The Oat trade ruled heavy, at a fall in value of Is per quarter, and the bulk of the supply remained un sold. Although the supply of Beals was not large, that grain gave way is per quarter, with a very dull inquiry. Peas moved off slowly; but we have no decline to notice in the quotations. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour com manded very lit:•le attention. C DRIXE NC Y PER IMP .

A further slight taw ease has taken place in the im portations of foreign stock into London. Since Monday last they have amounted to 1,720 head. During the correspo►:ding period in 1849 they comprised 1,944, and at the same time in 1848, 893 head. The annexed state• ment shows the quarters whence the stuck has been derived.

By sea, from Ireland, 131 Beasts, 48 Sheep, 30 Calves, and 72 Pigs have reached us. At the various outports only about 700 head of stock have been landecl. Nt t withwanding that the last two cargoes of Si aaish Beasts are reported to have been disposed at a loss of fully 20 per cent., we understand that further importations are about to take place. This stcck is by no means in favour with the butchers, owing to its bad weighing qualities. Should the present high prices continue in Holland, we may reasonably expect a falling off in the arrivals of Sheep this year from that quarter. It is, how ever, well known that the ara;lable supplies of both Beasts and Sheep on the Continent are large, and that there is an extensive surplus fit fur export. The supply of foreign Beasts on offer to-day was good— that of Sheep and Calves very moderkte. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up were seasonably extensive, and of full average quality. The primest Scots, Herefords, &c., were in somewhat improved request, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last, the highest figure for Beef being 3s 6d per 81bs., but all other breeds moved off heavily at barely late rates. However, as the weather was very cold, clearance was effected, though at a late hour. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re ceived 2,100 Short-horns and Scots; from all other parts of England 700 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, &c.; and fr m Scotland 200 Horned and Polled Scots. There was a further decided increase in the number of Sheep, at least a moiety if which were out of the wool. All breeds met a very inactive demand. The primest old Downs were mostly dispsed of at about stationary prices, but all other Sheep declined in value 2d per albs. Lambs were in good supply, and sluggish inqbury, at late rates, viz., from 58 to 6s per gibs. In Calves, comparatively little business was transacted, at about stationary prices. The Pork trade was heavy, but we have no change to notice in the currencies. Per albs. to sink the offal. d. to S. d. . s.

George Knight, 36, de s cribed on the calonder as whitesmith, was indicted fir stealing a chaise, the pro perty of John Smith, at Sr. George the Martyr. Mr. Goldsmith prosecuted, and Mr. Johnson defended the prisoner. George Smith, the son of the prosecutor said, that in the beginning of February last, a chaise was entrusted by his father to the prisoner to repair. Witness repeat edly called upon him for it, when he made many excuses, and when pressed for the return of it, whether finished or not, he told him that some one had stolen it. Witness called in a policeman and gave hire into custody, when the axletree and springs were discovered concealed in the back premises. :Witness identified the axletree and springs from a peculiar mark placed on them when his father purchased the chaise. Evan Jones, a police-constable of the N division, said he searched the prisoner's house, and after finding the property produeol he discovered nearly a hundred skeleton keys of the most extraordinary description, sufficient to open an y l oc k, a num b er of " j etnmies, " and two curiously-construc'ed centre-bits cf great power. which would enable a housebreaker to enter any shop. The whole of them had been manufactured by the pri soner, and he was known to supply the most notorious burglars in the country. The prisoner said that, being a whitesmith, he had use for those things in his business. He denied making them for housebreakers. Mr. Johnson addressed the jury for the prisoner, and a verdict of Gu lty was returned. The constable stated that the prisoner had been in custody several times for stealing carts, but he generally managed to get acquitted. He was, however, sum. , manly convicted six months ago for robbing his fur nished lodgings. The CHAIRMAN said the prisoner was a dangerous character to society, and there could be no doubt he manufactured there extraordinary implements for the purpose of disposing of them to housebreakers. He, should take care he did not carry on his avocation for a long time, by sentencing him to two years' hard labour in Brixton House of Correction. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A middle-aged man, dressed in a comfortable•look ing fustian sal., named Collins, was charged with bi gging. Police•constable E 42 stated that yesterday afternoon he was on duty in Bedford-square, and about four o'clock he observed the prisoner try several area•gates. One of them was open and he went down the steps, but he did not appear to do anything wrong except knocking at the kitchen door. Receiving no answer to his knock the prisoner rt. turned into the square, when wienese asked him what he wanted there, and th• prisoner re plied that he had been begging a little bread. H e had a long canvas bag across his shoulder, which on being searched was found to contain broken victuals enough to last any moderate man for four days. The prisoner also had money about him, and witnes,, suspecting that he was a practised hand ut mendicity, took him to the station. The prisoner said he was a snuff-grinder, and he came from New Ross. Mr. HALL sentenced him to eight days' imprisonment A woman named Mary Archer was charged on a beach warrant by a common informer, who stated his name to to Frederick Cruse, of 51, Mount•t•treet, Grosvenor-!quare, with keeping a brothel in Lower Searle's-pluee,T,mule-har. Mr. Inspector Dodd thougl•t it right to inform the magistrate of the manner in which the warrant had been execurt d. This warrant bad been in the informer', hands for some time, but he bad watched his opportunity to arrest the defendant on 'Saturday, so that she might be locked up all Sunday. Mr. HALL had no doubt that these men were nothing better than extortionists, but his duty wad simply minis terial, to order the woman to put in bail. The formal evidence of the granting of the si arrant and finding of the indictment was then put in, and the defendant having been told that she must find good bail for her appearance at the sessions, of which she must 00 twenty-tour hours' notice t, the informer, she said she wished to make a statement to the magistrate. This man Cruse and another came to her about a month ago and threatened to indict both her and bee husband un less she paid him 2/. 103. Soma money was handed to him, and then, by his direction, she went into the cenntry till the matter had blown over. She returned home on Saturday evening, and just as she was going out to market Cruse and another pounced upon her. She had two sovereigns and two shillings in her hand at the time she was arrested, but when she got to the station the two sovereigns were missing. No one had touched her but Cruse. Mr. Inspector Dodd informed the magistrate that a true bill had been found against Cruse and his assistant f r att-mpting to extort money from the themdant's husband.

WESTMINSTER AND ETON BOAT RACE.—The con test, which formerly took place almost annually between these two schools, and which, as our readers m 99 be aware, has latterly been prevented by the Head Master of Westminster, on the ground that rowing had a ten dency to injure the health, will in all probability.be rte.. newed during the present season. All old Westminsters and Etonians look forward to this match with as much pie tsure as they do to the school cricket matches at Los ; and thinking, as they must, that the fact of a boy occasionally hutting himself by rowing, affords no more re Isola for abolishing that sport than au accident at cricket or shooting (of which there are many) affords far prohibiting those manly amusements, they w ill be glad to learn that Dr. LidJell's objections are removed.
