The public sales dLclarrd are rather of as important nature. OLD ROTNSCHILD.—THE PAINS OF AVARICE.— It was not an unvaried sunshine with this gentleman. There were periods when bis gigantic capital seemed likely to be scattered to the four quarters of the globe. He had also other sources of apprehension. Threats of murder were not unfrequent. On one occasion he was waited nn by a stranger, who informed him that a plot had bean fortmd to take his life; that the loans which he had made Austria, and his connexion with Govern ments adverse to the liberties of Europe marked him for assassina ion ; and that the mode by which he was to lose his life was arranged. But though Rothschild smiled outwardly at those and similar threats, they said wao krew him best, that his mind was always troubled by these remembrances, and that they haunted him at mo ments when he would willingly have forgotten them. Oc. casionally his fears took a ludicrous form. Two tall, moustachioed men were once shown into his counting. house. Mr. Rothschild bowed; the visitors bowed; and their hands wandered first in one pocket and then in another. To the anxious eye of the millionaire, they assumed the form of persons searching for deadly weapons. No time seemed allowed for thought; a ledger, without a moment's warning, was hurled at the intruders; and in a paroxysm of fear he called for assistance to drive out two customers, who were only feeling in their pockets for letters of introduction. There is no doubt that he dreaded assassination greatly. "You must be a happy man, Mr. Rothschild," said a gentleman who was sharing the hospitality of his splendid home, as he glanced at the superb apartments of the mansion, " Happy—l happy!" was the reply. "What! happy, when just as you are going to dine, you have a letter placed in your hsn d, saying, If you do not send 5001. I will blow your brains out ?' Happy)—l happy!" And the fact that he frequently slept with leaded pistols by his side is an indirect evidence of a constant excitement on the subject.—Characters of the Stock Exchange. _ _ A gentleman in this town sends us the following extract from a Canadian paper, describing the history of a pair of bagpipes, which, he says, have beet playing for him in Inverness during the Christma' holidays :—" At the procession of the St• Andrew's S.rciety of Toronto, in honour of the Governor Gene ral, last Friday, a pair of bagpipes were used belong ing to Mr. Mackenzie Fraser Macre'', of Kingston, to which an interesting history is attached These pipes, which are believed to be among the best ever manufactured, were made about a hundred year, ago, for the Duke of Gordon, father of the last Duke, long known as the Marquis of Huntly. After being in his possession for some years, they were lent to Captain Simpson Fraser when about to proceed to America as a Captain of the 78th regiment, and they were used at the taking of Quebec, in 1759 . At 'the close et the war they were brought to Scotland, to their owner, at Castle Gordon, and after being used long there, were made a present of, about 60 years ago, to Donald Macrae, father of the present owner, by the Marquis of Huntly, as a prize at tht annual competition at Edinburgh. Macrae having joined the 42d regiment as Pipe-Major, carried his valuable instrument to the wars, and there played the same inspiring notes at the landing at Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercromby, as had been done under the walls of Quebec. At the con conclusion of the short peace, the pipes ceased to sound to the battle field. But on the breaking out of the war, the new 78th having been chiefly raised on the estate of Lord Seaforth, Macrae joined that regiment, taking his pipes with him. The first occasion of which they were used was at the battle of Maida, in Calabria, under Sir John Stuart, where the 78th signalised themselves by their gallant charge on . superior numbers of their opponents. The 78th was afterwards engaged in many of the battles in Spain and Portugal. At the battle o! Corunna Macrae was wounded and left on the field— but careful of his valuable pipes, he dispatched then with a comrade to a place of safety. The pipes have been in thirty•two engagements. In 1826 they were transferred by the veteran to his son, the present owner, who now holds a situation in the Custom house at Kingston. His father yet lives in Scotland, and is now in bis hundredt year."—lnverness Courier LIST OP SCOTTISII C OMPANIES' PRICES IFzi/Icje,,d Amount Name of Company. per of Paid. Price. Annum.

The receiver general of the department was in the habit of periodically sending a sum of money to Toulon. On the 28th ult. this took place as usual. The money was deposited in a chest, and placed in a cart drawn by one horse, and escorted by two gendarmes on foot. The road was very slippery from the ice, and on ascending a hill a short distance from Roquebaron, the gendarmes had deposited their carbines on the cart, and were pushing the wheels on either side, in order to assist the horse, when a volley was suddenly fired at them from the wood which skirted the road. One of the guards fell mortally wounded, and the other was immediately surrounded by eight armed men, two of whom attacked bim while the others took the money-chest from the cart and carried it into the wood. The carman took to flight at the first report of the guns. Several shots were afterwards fired at the other gendarme, but fortunately without effect, and the robbers at length went off, leaving behind them a waisscoat, which it is hoped may lead to the detect Lion of the gang. An alarm was given, and patrols termed to scour the country. The chase was afterwards found in the wood broken, and emptied of its contents, amounting to 18,000 f. The mea were all either marked, or dressed in a manner to prevent recognition, but from the waistcoat found it is supposed that they were artisans, and not peasans.

Between twelve and one, on Thursday night a fire, which it is feared there is tot, much reason to suspect was caused by the hand of at incendiary, broke out on the farm of Mr. Strat ton, of Manningford, near Hungerford. Tha firs hid not only gained great ascendency when the outbreak was first witnessed, but it wa , discovered in two extensive ricks, which, it is strongly suspected, were both ignited at the same time, in order that the malicious design of the incendiary might be efftctive. Owing to the loneliness of the spot, added to its being midnight, but little assistance was obtainable, and the wind blowing a gentle breeze at the time, the flames under its influence raged and spread alarmingly. The two ricks, one of them being the produce of five acres of corn, and the other a large stack, besides other farm property, were eventually con sumed. Great exertions were made to extinguish the flames, w hich were fortunately aided by the wind changing arid diverting them from the remain ing property. From the situation of the ricks in the farmyard, near the road, some distance from any house, and through which there is no public thorough fare, coupled with the late hour at which the fire broke out, it seems hardly probable that the conflagration could hnve been the result of accident. The property was fully it:roared in the Norwich Union Fire-offlee. Much distress prevails among the agriultural labourers in this part of the county, consequent on several of the largest farms acing now tenantless. THE Loss OF THE CALEB GRIMSHAW.—A cor respondent of -a morning contemporary says:—" The owners of the Caleb Grimshaw demand a means for ex tinguishing fi• :e in the hold of a ship. The materials required are r l othing more than a cask of common c h a lk in the bottom o f the hold connected with the deck by a small which, on t' And a two - gallon b o tt le of sul p huric acid, 13 e alarm of fire, being p o u red down the p i p e will general e a sufficient quantity of den se smoke ( g as in which however I , urge ," cannot exist) to extinguish any tiro, in Melville-stre e t, and Novel, CIIARGE.--111 the police - court on Monday illar so Marg aret as etL , idgate was charged with malicious mischief, Moray place, and o o n f a D da r y . apbaoguatntshe beginning of th e month, she called at the h ouses of Dr. Christison, in Moray. wickedly, wilfully, mischievously, and maliciously stated that the professional services of those medical gentl emen were instantly required at the residence of Mrs. Ans. truther, Salisbury-road, Newington, she well knowing that the services of those gentlemen were not so required, by which all the parties thereby imposed upon were an• noyed and disturbed. It appeared from the evidence that Drs. Christison and Pagan, on receiving the pretended messages, proceeded to Salisbury-road, and found that no lady of the name of Anstruther resided there. The accused was apprehended on her return to the house of Dr. Christison, on Saturday last, when she represented that she had been sent to request the doc tor's immediate attendance at the house of a Miss Young—a representation equally false with the former. It was not easy to discover any motive for the malicious conduct of the accused, until the prosecutor informed the Court that she was well known to the police as an expert thief of articles from lobbies, to which she endea voured to gain access in order to deliver pretended messages, and that she had been already convicted of that species of theft. The presiding judge (Sheriff Jamieson) stated that he had no doubt whatever that the offence as charged was a relevant one, and sentenced her to be imprisoned for 30 days, besides ordering her to find caution for her good behaviour for 12 calendar months, under a penalty of 51., or to suffer other 30 days' im prisonment. The accused is a genteel-looking young woman, and one very likely, from her appearance, to impose upon parties ignorant of her character.—Edin burgh Advertiser.

(Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RE WILLIAM JAMES SHEPHEARD. This insolvent, described as manager of the Ame rican Bowling-saloon, in the Strand, applied to be discharged. Mr. L'ockhead appeared to oppose, but the opposi tion was not allowed, not having given the usual notice. Mr. Dowse supported the application. It appeared that, in October, 1848, the insolvent's premises at 417, Strand, were burnt down, and he received from a fire-office 4201., which he paid away, and lived upon. The premises were not rebuilt for eleven months, end then his aunt, Mrs. Freeman, became tenant, and had opened the place as the American Bowling saloon, where he had acted as manager. Mr. Commissioner LAW thought that the insolvent might have paid out of the insurance-money several small debts, which now appeared in the schedule. The case was adjourned to complete a notice on a creditor. (Before the CmEr COMMISSION ER.) IN RE THE HON. ADOLPHUS FREDERICK CHARLES MOLYNEAUX CAPEL. At the rising of the Court on Saturday, Mr. COKE applied, on the part of the insolvent, who, it will be recollected, was heard under the Protection Act in July last, when the Court refused to name a day for a final order for permission to come up for a protecting order, under the 28th section of the Act. The Learned COUNSEL mentioned that since Novem ber Mr. Capel had been residing in New Bond-street, and had not been molested by his creditors, and pre viously had been to Boulogne. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER inquired whether there was an affidavit in the ca.!,e ? Mr. Cooxis answered in the negative, saying that one could be made of the facts he had stated. HIS HONOUR gave permission on an affidavit being made; notice to be given to the opposing creditors of the application. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE. — Samuel Griever Harvey, a tall, powerful man, was indicted for as saulting James Dodsley Tawney. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin prosecuted; and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the defendant. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case, said that the defendant was accused of one of the most dastardly and cruel attacks that he ever remembered in the course of his experience. It was committed by a man of powerful stature upon another not half his size, and who he knew at the time was labouring under a dangerous disease, an affection of the heart, and must have been aware that such an attack was calculated to endanger his life. The Learned Counsel then pro ceeded to narrate the circumstances of the case, which will be found detailed in the subjoined evidence:— Mr. J. D. Tawney, the prosecutor, whose arm was in a sling, and who appeared to be suffering severely, was then examined. He deposed that he was an at torney, and he knew the -defendant, who was a horse dealer at Rugby, and frequently saw him at the sta bles of Messrs. Osborn and Co , in Gray's Inn-lane, where witness was in the habit of putting up his horses. In June last Messrs. Tattersall gave him instructions to proceed against the defendant, to recover a sum of 8/. 13s. He at first denied owing the money, but afterward promised to pay it and made appointments to do so, but never kept them, and witness was compelled to issue a writ against him, but, at the request of the defendant, he forbore to serve it upon him at Rugby, in order to save expense, and he at this time offered to take the amount of the debt without any costs. The defendant did not pay the money, and judgment was obtained on the 2d of August, and shortly afterwards the defendant gave notice of his intention to apply to the Insolvent Court, and witness was instructed to oppose him on behalf of several creditors. On the 3d November witness was at Mr. Osborn's stables, and he saw the defendant in the counting-house, and he challenged him with getting up the opposition to his discharge. Witness replied that other creditors beside those for whom he appeared intended to oppose him, and the defendant then inquired the names of the cre ditors who instructed him to oppose, bat he declined to give them. The defendant then went out, and re turned in a short time with two hunting-whips, one of which was loaded at the. end with iron, and the other a plain cane one. The defendant offered him the latter, saying "Take that." He declined doing so, and the defendant went out, and witness waited a short time, thinking he would go away. He then went towards his gig, which had been waiting for him, and he observed the defendant standing with the heavy hunting whip in his hand ; and as he was about to get into his gig he attacked him behind, and beat him on the back and shoulders in the most violent manner. He then tried to beat him on the head, but witness held up his hands and warded off the blows. Mr. Banks, one of the partners, came up and laid hold of the defendant, and said to him, " Good God, Harvey, are you mad ?" but the de fendant threw him away from him and continued his violence. He had just succeeded in getting into his gig when the defendant struck him on the back of the head, and the blow stunned him for a moment, and his horse ran off, but was stopped by some cabmen in the King's-road. He was taken very ill the same night, and was still suffering from the injuries he received. The prosecutor added that the defendant was perfectly well aware at the time be made the attack upon him that he was suffering from disease of the heart, as they had frequently conversed upon the subject. The prosecutor, who had given his evidence with great difficulty, and who was evidently in a state of great excitement and suffering, having replied to one or two questions that were put to him by Mr. Ballan tine, was about to retire from the witness box, when he seemed in an instant to lose all power, and fell senseless in the arms of some persons who stood near him. He was laid upon the floor of the court, and Mr. Clayton, the surgeon, who examined his injuries after the occurrence, and another medical gentleman, who was accidentally present, immediately attended upon him, and used their utmost exertions to restore him. Mr. BALLAPITINR, addressing the Court, said that he did not require the evidence of the surgeon. It was impossible for him to deny that an assault had been committed by the defendant, or attempt to justify it under such circumstances. The Learned Counsel added, that he had felt it his duty to put one or two questions to the prosecutor, but he should have re frained from doing so if he had been aware of his dangerous condition. The RECORDER then briefly addressed the jury, and after observing that the Learned Counsel for the defendant, who had, as it appeared to him, behaved with the utmost propriety in the course he bad adopted, having admitted that the conduct of the defendant could not be justified, the jury would only have to say that the charge of assault had been proved. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Guilty. During these proceedings the unfortunate prose cutor continued under the charge of the medical gentlemen, and an intimation was given that he was in a dangerous condition. The RECORDER, addressing the defendant, said he had been convicted of what he felt compelled frcm the Bench to describe as a most aggravated and brutal assault. At present he should not pass sentence upon him, because, in the condition of the prosecutor, it was uncertain what the result would be, and if his death were to take place, and it was found to have been accelerated by the violence he had made use of towards him, he would uadoubtedly be called upon to answer a much higher charge. Just as the Learned Judge had concluded, a sen sation of horror was created in the court by the announcement by one of the medical gentlemen that the unfortunate prosecutor had expired. The excite ment had been too much for him, and he lay a lifeless corpse at the foot of the witness-box, where a few short minutes previously he had been giving his evidence. The RECORDER gave directions that the prisoner should be detained to answer any charge that might be preferred against him arising out of the death of the unfortunate prosecutor, and the body of the deceased was placed in a cab to be conveyed to his residence; the solicitor for the prosecution accompanying it to convey the sad intelligence to his relatives. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. BULLOCK.) William Blackburn, 24, surveyor, pleaded guilty to stealing a theodolite, value 201., the property of John Simmons Marrat. Not any evidence was given, and the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. Edward Burgess, 31, servant, pleaded guilty to an indictment for stealing a silver coffeepot, and other plate, valued at 501., the property of Elizabeth Lowrey, his mistress. In answer to the Court, Mrs. Lowrey said that the prisoner had been about eight months in her service. She had a good cheracter with him. Inspector Cummins said that the prisoner had hi therto borne an excellent character. The plate, which was worth at least 601., had been sold for 101., and melted down. the property is generally stolen for the purpose of being converted into base coin. Not any other business worthy of mention occurred during the day. Mr. BULLOCK. said the case was a very bad one, and sentenced him to seven years' transpor tation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Louis Joel, bill discounter and jeweller, Little Argyll street, was brought up for final examination on the charge of forgery and fraud. Ths forgery, which consisted of an alleged forging of the name of John Marcus Clements to a bill of 1,000/., has al ready been disposed of, and the depositions signed. The case of fraud, which rested on the evidence brought forward to show that three bills, value toge ther 7501, had been fraudulently obtained from Lieut. Garland, was also so Gir advanced as to re quire only that the evidence of the witnesses be read over and signed. This having been done, Mr. Clarkson wished an important point in the evidence to be made perfectly clear, and would there. fore ask Lieut. Garland a question or two. Lieut. Garland having been placed in the witness box, stated, in reply to questions, that t ad rie keoWn the first set of bills were still in Joel's possession he should not have suffered them to remain there. lie thought, from Joel's statement. that the hills were destroyed, and this induced him to get the second set of hills accepted. With respect to certain letters written to Joseph Joel, those letters had beet] writ e ten at Joseph Joel's dictation. Witne-s had theta in his possession, they having been returned by Joseph Joel. Mr. Bodkin wished it to he understood that he now appeared on behalf of Mr. Fitch, t.. WiV,r; 50101 - further explanation of the may in which ta.: o: the hills accepted by Lieutenant Garland had come into his possession. Mr. Fitch was a respectable ; o i. citor, residing is the B.rough, and the legal advis-r of the parish authorities of St. George, Southwai k. When a sudden demand was made upon him at a former examination to give up the bills_ he was tak by suprise, and naturally hesitated to part with the bills without due reflection, as such a proceeding might have the effect of prejudicing his claim. Mr. Fitch had since that time consulted him on the point, and, acting on the advice he had receiverl, he had given a statement to him of the whole of ihe transac tions relating to teese hills. This stwernent went to establish the fact that Mr. Fitch was the bona fide holder of the two bills, and he now begged to piece them in the hands of Mr. Clarkson for his examination before putting them in evidence. Mr. Clarkson said Mr. Fitch had done perfectly right in taking the present step. It was a pity, however, that he had tot come to the same decision earlier. Two men, named Whittle and Johnson, were con victed of pot-stealing, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. It appeared that they were watched by the police at Woolwich, and the pots, which belonged to a Mr. Joggers, and a Mr. Shepherd, both publicans of that town, were found on them. This class cf offence, which is now on the increase, has more mischief in it than the loss to the licensed victualler; for it is ge nerally committed by the confederates of coiners, and Mr. BINGHAM thought that Mr. Fitch had acted judiciously in the affair. The prisoner was then fully committed on both charges. Arrangements were made for two fat-similists to have a sight of the alleged forgery, for the puri.oae of ascertaining by the rules of their craft whether the signature is a forgery or nut—the prosecutor having asserted that the signature is a forgery, and the pri soner that the signature is genuine. MARYLEBONE. Shortly before the closing of the court an elderly, respectably attired woman, the widow of an officer who held a commission for many ye irs in the 60th Regiment of Foot, was introduce(' by Er)er, the officer, to Mr. Long, to whom she related the parti culars of a most cruel and heartless robbery. It appeared from her statement that a few days ago she received, through an agent, the sum of 9/. 103. in gold, to which she was entitled from Government as a quarter's pension for her late husband's military services. She got into an omnibua at Charing cross, and at the time of taking her seat the vehicle was nearly full; when she alighted at the corner of Duke-street, Oxford-street, on putting her hand into her pocket she found that her purse, with its contents (the sum above alluded to). had been ab stracted therefrom. The 9/. 10s. was all that she had looked to for her subsistence until the next quarterly payment should become due, and the loss was to her of such a nature as to leave her almost pennyless. She was extremely infirm, mid therefore unable to help herself in any way ; and under the circumstances which she had detailed she had been advist d by some friends to make known the facts of the case, in the hope that some advice might be given to her as to how she should act. In reply to questions she said she did not know the number of the omnibus by which she travelled; neither was she able to give such a description of the three men whom she suspected of robbing her, and who were seated near her, as would he likely to lead to their apprehension in the event of the police looking out for them. The worthy .MAGISTRATE regretted exceedingly that he could not afford any assistance in the matter; and the applicant, who lives at 5, Bayharn-street, Camden-town, then thanked his Worship for his kind attention and retired. WIEST4INSTEIe. William Manning. who for upwards of twenty years had been employed as a private watchman at the 1 1 House of Lords, and Jane, his wife, were brought up for re-examination, charged with stealing a great number of printed papers relating to appeal causes, many of which are now pending, and to other busi ness connected with the House. Upon the application of Mr. Hayward, from the Treasury, who attended to watch the case, it was ar arranged that the prisoners should be further remanded —a course to which Mr. Lewis, on the part of the accused, did not object, upon its being intimated that bail.weuld be taken for their appearance. A second charge was, however, preferred against the female prisoner for stealing a sheet from the resi dence of Mr. Johnson, of Milbank-row. The evidence went to show that the prisoner was in that gentleman's service as a cook, and left a few months ago ; that upon her being taken into custody by Inspector Martin upon the other charge, the du plicate of a sheet was found upon her pledged in her own name, and that the property was identified as Mr. Johnson's, and had been stolen from that gen tleman's house while the prisoner was engaged there. Under these circumstances the female prisoner was committed for re examination, but her husband was liberated upon bail for his re appearance. LAMBETH. Yesterday Frederic/1 James Darner Cape and Ro bert Pile, who have been in custody tor some days on a charge of conspiring to defraud the public, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final examination. Mr. ELLIOTT was of opinion that the evidence to prove a conspiracy to defraud the public was abun dant, and he should, therefore, send the case before a jT he u. ry prisoners were then fully committed to take their trial at the present session of the Central Cri minal Court, and the witnesses against them were bound over in the ordinary way. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY.—The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of the three unfortunate persons who were killed at Mag hull, near Liverpool, on the East Lancashire Railway, on Tuesday last, was resumed yesterday. The accident was caused by a luggage train running into a passenger train at the Maghull station, and at the inquest en Friday last the driver of the luggage train was ordered into custody by the coroner, on it being stated that at the time the accident happened he was following the pas s( nger train at the rate of forty miles en hour. R 411,13 Steel, the driver of the passenger train from Blackburn and Preston to Liverpool, stated that on arriving at Maghull his train was detained some minutes in conse quence of the station-master going to the wrong points. The luggage train came up in a few minutes afterwards, but he did not hear a whistle. The station-master ought to run forward with his hand-signal when the luggage 'rain was seen approaching, but he did not do so. If the signal had been made, and the luggage train had been going cautiously, the accident could not have happ , ned. Samuel Robinson, guard of the passenger train, said that when the luggage train passed the Maghull station it was going at the rate of forty miles an hour. Robert Hudson, station-master at Towngreen station, five miles trona Maghull, said that at the time the luggage tr,in came past it was going at a rate equal to expr, ss train. A person named P4rkinson, who was weal( g for the passenger train, deposed that whilst a cart loge was being moved from a siding to be attached to the train, he heard some one cry out, " Good Go ! there is a train coming up !" and almost immediately the collision took place. The guard of the luggage train, John Morris, was next examin' d, and said that tit , • luggage train came trim Blackburn to Maghull, a dis tance of twenty-eight miles and a halt, between five minutes past eight and twenty minutes to nine. The stoker of the luggage train having been examined, g a v e similar evidence. Mr. Wolstenholme, superintendent of the Liverpool station, stated that when he came up, shortly after the accident, the station -master was cer tainly " the worse for liquor." The Coroner, in sum ming up the evidence, said it was clear that the persons in charge of the luggage train were travelling at greater speed than the rules of the company allowed. The jury were deliberating on their verdict when our report was sent off.
