The very heavy rains we have had for the last two or three days, and the annual stock fair held this day, made the attend ance of farmers and others at market unusually small. The animation manifested in London and other markets of note was fully apparent in the prices here. Wheats sold readily at an advance of 2s to 3s per quarter; barley also sold quickly at I s per quarter advance, owing to the weather still continuing so favourable for malting. Other articles much the same, and malt was more in demand. ARRESTS IN POLAND• PUBLICATIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'SUN. Stu,—Reports are very rife of the expected arrival of the Emperor of Russia at Warsaw ; of his remain ing there (certainly for the benefit of Europe), till October next; and then of his return to Moscow, to c e lebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his acces sion. At the same time there are other reports, and, unfortunately too true, that numberless arrests are taking place in Poland, in consequence of a pretended conspiracy alleged to have been discovered amongst the Polish youth, in a country overflowing with RU‘Ciall soldiers.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of tke A n atomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of apslying to a qualified physi cian for rend'. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that those complaints are beyond the re ac h o f art, alike restrict him a nd prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. f.XMERT has taken th e hi ghest medical honours, as his diplom as testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 7.—The arrivals from Ireland and coast wise during the week past have, with the exception of 3,240 loads of oatmeal and 2,283 sacks of flour, been trifling. From foreign ports we have received a large supply of wheat, 31,626 quarters, chit fly from the Baltic and Belgium ; - 5,166 quarters of Barlet, 2,044 quarters of oats, 1,312 quarters of rye, 1,356 quarters of beans, 2,086 quarters of peas, 4,796 quarters of Indian corn, and 6,172 sacks of flour. The only exports of importance we have to note are 2,276 quarters of wheat and 18,024 quarters of Indian corn, all to Ireland. The weather having continued extremely cold and unseasonable, notwith standing the liberal supplies the trade has maintained a buoyant tone, and prices have crept up Id to 2d per bushel on wheat, ird per bushel on oats, Id per bushel on barley, and 6d per sack and barrel on flour. Indian corn has sold in considerable quantities at 28s 6d to 29s per quarter for prime yellow. At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and coun try trade, who purchased largely of wheat, chiefly middling quell • ties, at an advance of fully 2d per 701 b on last Tuesday'sprices. Oats, both Irish and foreign, were in good demand, and fully Id per 451 b dearer. Oatmea l realised 6d per load more money in the sales made. Barley and beans were in fair request, and Idto 2d per 601 b and 6d per quarter dearer. Peas met with little attention at late rates. Flour moved off more freely than for some time past, and an advance of is per sack and 6d per barrel was generally established. There was only a moderate business done in Indian corn at 28. 6d to 29s per quarter for yellow, and 28s to 28s 6d per quarter for white. LEEDS, MAY 7.—We have a small arrival of grain to-day, owing to contrary winds. Wheat has met a brisk sale, and is fully la per quarter dearer than last Tuesday. Good English barley continues scarce, and is Is per quarter dearer. Oats and beans are sold on better terms. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 7. • (Sittings in Banco.) CLARK V. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, In this case a plaint was entered in the county court at Northampton, in the month of leebruary last, to recover from the defendant a sum of 4/. 19s. 9d., as money had and received by the defendant for the use of the plaintiff. The plaint came on for hear ing before Mr. Wing, the judge of the county court, some time in the month of March last, and it then appeared that the plaintiff was one of the allottees of the National Land Company, of which the defendant is a director, and that a sum 'of 51. 4s. was paid by the plaintiff' for four shares, which sum, it was not de nied, had found its way to the hands of the defendant, who acted as treasurer of the company. Tho defence set up was that the company was in the nature of a partnership, that the plaintiff and defendant were part ners in the company, and that the sum demanded was not the balance of any settled or liquidated partner ship account. The judge of the county court, how ever, overruled this objection, and made an order on the defendant for payment of 4/. 19s. 9d., and 71. 8 id. fin- costs. Before execution issued the de fendant obtained a writ of prohibition from the Petty Bag-office in Chancery, directed to the judge of the county court of Northampton, the effect of which was to stay the proceedings upon the order made in the county court. Upon a former day in the present term a rule was obtained to show cause why the writ of prohibition should not be quashed, upon the ground that it was issued improvidently, and that the order of the judge of the county court was made in a matter not within his jurisdiction. Mr. HAYES now appeared to make this rule abso lute, not having received anv notice that cause would be shown. The Learned Counsel submitted, upon the authority of a case of " Baddeley v. Denton," re ported in the Law Journal, vol. 19, page 44, that by an Act of last session, 12 and 13 Viet., cap. 109. the superior courts of common law had authority to quash a writ of prohibition issued from the Petty Bag office. In the present case the writ bad issued upon an ex parte application , though when the facts were looked into, it was clear the county c our t j u d ge had any court wher e pro hib it i ons soN—Do I understand y ou cor rectly, that there jurisdiction. Mr. Baron ALDE i R s issue without hearing both p ar ties ? 11r. HAYEs—Yes, my Lord; in th e common l aw side of the Petty Bag-office a prohibitio n may b e ob tained upon an ex parte application. Mr. Baron ALDERSON.—I wonder they d o not app l y there in the great case of " Gorham v. The Bishop of Exeter."—(A laugh.) Mr. Ileyns suggested that , perhaps , the Court was not deemed fitting for the dignity of so g reat a cause. Be that as it may, the wr it of prohibition i n thi s case issued upon an ex parte a pplication, alth oug h i t was _--As no cause i s s h own upon the authority o f the hijurisdiction. quite tecle d a i r et t i h o e n. Mr. Baron ALDERSON coun ty court judge had not exceeded against your rule, I think, ease cited, you are entitled to make it absolute. Rule absolute accordingly CONSISTORY COURT, May 7. (Before Dr. LUSIIINGTON.) THE EARL OF LINCOLN v. TUE COUNTESS OP LINCOLN. DIVORCE. In this case the Earl of Lincoln promotes a suit against his wife for a divorce, on the ground of adultery. The Queen's Advocate was proceeding to enter upon the case, when Dr. HAGGARD, for the Countess, said he could offer no defence, and The Conn. pronounced for a divorce as prayed. This was the only case of interest brought before the Court. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, May '7. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a Bench o f Ma. gistrates ) The May general quartepsessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morn ing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell. There were 83 prisoners for trial, of whom 77 were charged with felony. The Learned JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, said that on the present occasion there was a slight increase in the number of prisoners committed for trial, and he was glad to say that the dawn of a better system for the treatment of juvenile criminals was approaching. He had great pleasure in inform- ing them that there were now in operation some experiments which he had no doubt would be very j successful, and the success of which he hoped would lead to the adoption of such experiments, as a system —he alluded to the improvement of juvenile criminals by industrial training. When the Parkhurst Prison Act was about being passed some ten years ago, a - clause was introduced by Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Devon, the effect of which was to give, the Govern ment the power of granting conditional par dons ,to such children under fourteen years of age as were taken into the charge of charitable and benevolent institutions with a view to reformation, those institutions, or societies having over such children the same authority as that of a master over an apprentice; and that clause at the time he considered to be a most valuable one; and for about six months after the Act was passed, it was acted upon and carried out with great success. However the prisons inspectors impressed upon the Government that these children were chil dren of the State, and not fit objects for the exercise of private :benevolence; and the consequence of this was, that the clause he referred to became.inopera tive. He alluded to this subject in 'a charge lest year; and though he was far from saying that that allusion - had called the attention of the Government to it, this he could say, and had great pleasure in saying, that the plan was again in operatiou. Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State (than whom no man in Eng land desired more to apply an effectual remedy to this serious evil), had directed a number of boys to be sent from Parkhurst to the Philanthropic Farm School, at Redhill, :to try the effects of the system pursued there, and unquestionably the results would be of a most successful character. As showing the manner in which opinions changed on popular sub jects, he might say that . this change was now ap proved by the prisons inspectors by whom it was before condemned, and thus it appeared that they now saw the necessity of children being treated as chil dren, and not subjected to a penal discipline. The grand jury then retired. John Thomas Simson Jones, who was convicted at the January adjourned sessions of obtaining money by false and fraudulent representations in begging letters, was placed at the bar to receive judgment. It was shown at the trial of the prisoner that he was one of the most notorious begging-letter writers in the kingdom, and had carried on that species of fraud upon the public to a very great extent. He was convicted upon two indictments, and a point as to venue was reserved for the Court of Criminal Appeal. The convictions were affirmed, and the court had now to sentence the prisoner. ' After the prisoner had addressed the Court, The Learned JUDGE said the prisoner was con victed of two frauds • and, within two years, he had been besides convicted three times, and discharged upon accusation four times ; and the history of his life, which the court was in possession of, showed that a - morethorough imposter did not disgrace England. The sentence was, that the prisoner be transported for seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. The court was much crowded by persons of both sexes, who were anxious to hear the further proceed ings against Charles Jopling, an embosser, living at No. 5, Windsor-court, Strand, and who was brought before Mr. Broughton, on the 30th ult., on the charge of having administered chloroform to a pretty-looking girl, named Mary Anne Elton, his presumed object being that of violating her person. The evidence previously given went to show that the prisoner had been courting the complainant for many months, with the sanction of her aunt, with whom she resided in Camden-town; and that on the night of the 29th ult. they went to a concert at a house in Munster-street, Regent's-park. On the way home he (prisoner) took her down a yard, and, after acting indecently towards her there, he poured something from a bottle upon his handkerchief, which he held over her mouth. She instantly thrust it from her, calling out for assistance. Police-constable 243 S, took the prisoner into custody. It was further shown that the constable saw the prisoner throw something against a wall, which sounded like glass, and that when searched at the station, prisoner had in his possession a handkerchief, which was wet, and had a most powerful and unpleasant smell. The remains of a bottle were subsequently picked up by the officer, close to the spot where he made the cap ture, and he took the said handkerchief and portion of the phial to Dr. Bermingham, who at once said that there had been a quantity of chloroform in both. The prisoner was remanded until to-day, when Mr. Robinson, solicitor, Hatton-garden, attended for the prisoner ; a n d Mr. Rivolta, hurt-street, Bloomsbury, on the part of some of the relatives of the complainant, who they considered had been "en trapped" with regard to the marriage. Mr. Robinson handed in a certificate of marriage, which had been solemnized that morning by licence between the prisoner and the complainant, who had long been acquainted with each other. The nuptials were celebrated at the church of St. Mary-le-Strand. Mr. BROUGHTON, after perusing the marriage cer tificate, desired the complainant to stand up in the witness-box, and she immediately did so ; and " blush ing as became a bride" of only a few hours' duration, bent down her head. Mr. BaouGuToN (to the blushing bride)—You charged the prisoner on a former day with a most serious offence. Is it true that you have been mar ried this morning to him? Complainant—lt is quite true, sir, I assure you; and the paper you have proves it. Mr. ltobinson—Have you contracted the marriage entirely with your own free will and consent ? Com plainant-1 have. Mr. BROUGHTON—When was the licence granted ? Complainant—Only this morning, sir, and we got married directly. Mr. Robinson—He kept company with you, did he not, for nine months, and paid his addresses to you as a suitor ? Complainant—Yes. Mr. Rivolta said, he had no doubt that the com plainant had been tampered with, and that she had been forced into the marriage as a matter of expedi ency under the circumstances in which the prisoner stood upon so serious a charge. Mr. Robinson (to complainant)—l ask you again, was the marriage ceremony performed with your per fect free will and sanction ? Complainant—Most certainly it was. Mr. Robinson—Do you believe that your husband will ill-use you, or do you think that you will be kindly treated by him ? Complainant (looking lovingly towards the prisoner)—Oh, I am quite cer tain that he will use me well, and that we shall be happy and comfortable. Mr. Rivolta addressed the magistrate to the effect that undue influence bad been used to get up the marriage with the view of saving the prisoner from any penalty which might, by the serious offence he had been guilty of, be entailed upon him. Mr. Robinson (to complainant)—l ask you again, have you any complaint to make against the prisoner, your husband? Complainant—None, sir, none. Mr. Robinson (to ,the magistrate)—She says she has no charge to make against my client, and I sub mit to you, sir, that he is entitled to his discharge. Mr. Rivolta thought that the magistrate would not adopt such a course ; and he trusted that the case would go to another tribunal, inasmuch as a conspi racy with regard to the marriage, which was no doubt celebrated in order to defeat the ends of jus tice in this affair, could be clearly made out. Mr. BROUGHTON—Are you prepared to show that there was any conspiracy of the kind you speak of? Mr. Rivolta—l am not at present prepared to bring proof to that effect, although I have no doubt as to the conspiracy I have spoken of. Mr. Robinson urged that the prisoner was fully and fairly entitled to be discharged, as the complai nant, who was now his wife, could not give evidenc e against her husband. The Learned Gentleman con tended that his client, who was well to do in the world, had, by marrying the complainant, done all which, as an honourable man, he was bound to do, and he thought that his Worship would, taking all the circumstances into consideration, order that the pri soner should be discharged. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that he should take time for consideration in the matter, and he should remand the prisoner, upon the same bail as before, until Tues day next. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY, MAY 7. —We have had a firmer market to-day, with great disposi tion to do business; but in consequence of the advance in priceS demanded owing to the confirmation of the accounts of the deficient supply of raw material, a check has, to some extent, been put upon operations. Where contracts were not previously entered into (as had been done in the case of many of the houses trading with the East), an advance of Ad. to id. has been given for yarns. This, however, will little more than cover the increased cost of cotton, so that the advantage is still very slightly in favour of the producers ; and prices, even at the present advance, may be considered decidedly unremunerative. The goods market is cull. A few purchases for the continental mamet have been made at the advanced rates; and T cloths also participate in the int ' provement. Buyers, though in some instances forced to con cede higher prices, are still on the whole unwilling to accom modate themselves to the advances sought by the manufac turers. CAMITRIDGE.—The Reverend William Comyns Berkeley, 8.A., late of Jesus College, has been nominated to the perpetual curacy of Cothoridge, Worcestershire ; patron, Mr. William Berkeley, of Cothoridge Cont. Perhaps you will think proper to direct the public attention to the fact, that every visit of his Imperial Majesty to that unfortunate country cis always pre ceded by similar arrests. The Emperor is mad about conspiracies in Poland ; and particularly at the pre sent moment, when he intends to organize Europe according to his own plan, so highly appreciated by some indolent statesmen of an old regime. The Polish insurrection, which, in 1830 had paralyzed all his Majesty's preparations, directed at that time against France, Belgium, and the Duchy of Bruns wick, comes to his Majesty's mind now, and to pre• vent its recurrence, every young Pole suspected by him to be a conspirator is ordered to be arrested during the intended war. If it should be short, or should matters be arranged by diplomacy, the pre tended conspirators will be allowed- to return home with admonitions; if it should be long and unfortu nate, they will be removed to the interior of Russia, as pledges of the good behaviour of the other non arrested Poles.—l am, Sir, yours, &c., THE WELL-INFORMED.

After prayer the Chairman addressed the meeting, a nd stated that there were in this country ten stamped news papers advocating infidelity, with a present circulation of 11,700,000 a year ; six unstamped, with a circulation of 6,240,000 ; and miscellaneous publications, having a circula tion of 10,400,000 ; and there were, besides, publications of the very worst character, having a circulation of 520,000. To counteract the pernicious effects which such publications must produce, the society had circulated 500,000,000 tracts, in 110 different languages, at an expense of 174,6771., during the fifty years the society had been in existence, and during the same period it had established 9,000 libraries. The report of the committee was then read and after detailing at great length the operation of the so ciety generally, stated that tracts had been largely distri buted in France, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Bo hemia, Holland, Hungary, Bavaria, and other countries of Europe; and it then proceeded to say that during the year tracts and other religious publications had been circulated at home to the number of 3,133,165, at an expense of 3,3001. and had founded 657 libraries. The total circulation during the year was 19,245,441, and their publications had pro duced receipts to' the extent of 49,586/. The total receipts were 61,327/., being an increase over those of last year of 1,832/. The report concluded by calling upon the friends. of I, the society for increased exertions and more lib eral subscrip tions. On the motion of the Rev. Mr. Robertson, of Christ church, Chelsea, seconded by Mr. Plumptre, the port was unanimously agreed to. Severa l resolutionsin support of the society having been passe d, the meeting ad journed.

THE GREA . CENTRAL GAS _ CONSUMERS' COMPANY. Yesterday this question, that has for some time • t a topic of considerable interest among the H3enc ...ens of London, was opened before the Committee of the House of Commons to whom the Great Central Gas Consumers' Bill, "for better supplying with gas the city of London, and the liberties thereof, and places adjacent," is referred, consisting of Mr. Card well, the Chairman, Mr. Glynne Earle Welby, Mr. James Marshall, Mr. Pilkington, and Mr. Melville Portal. The Members added to the Committee, as having constituently an interest in the question, are Mr. Thompson, Tower Hatillets • Lord Dudley t were we nt y commenced o f which h ich Stuart, Marylebone ; Sir W. Mol esworth, ' South wark ; and Sir James Duke, London, of whom the latter only was present. the titles of the petitions against the .13111, amongst therebY calling were. v peti tionsr from the Chartered Gas Light Company, the city of London Gas Light Company, the Commercial *Gas Company, the British Gas Light Company, the Imperial Gas Company, the Inde upTwhaerdPsro7:edmiDegs pendent Gas Light and Coke Company, and froM various parishes and rate-payers. Counsel for the promoters of the measure were Mr. Sergeant Wrangham Q C., Mr. Bill, Q.C., M r . Tay lor c and Mr. W ild; for' the opponents of it, the City of London and the London Chartered Gas Com pany, Mr. Talbot, Q.C., Mr. Hope, Q.C., Mr. H. . . Warren, Mr. Corrie, and Mr. Burke. • Mr. Sergeant WeANGuesi, Q.C., in opening the proceedings, said that the object of the promoters was to establish their gas works at Bow-common, and to limit the district they proposed to light to the city of London, and to the immediate district through which their mains passed. The lighting of the inter mediate districts arose out of the circumstance of the promoters, upon economical grounds, determining on having their works at a distance from the City, where not only a site could bi obtained at a much cheaper rate, but where the establishment of gas works was far less objectionable than within 'the range of the City, and it would have been absurd to have carried the mains all the way into the city with out supplying, as indeed was urged upon them, the in habitants along the route that they traversed. The pre sent measure had originated in the general, and almost unanimous feeling within the city of London, that a new gas company was indispensably necessary to secure for the citizens an ample supply of good and cheap gas. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to give a brief history of the various gas companies started in London, and pointed out some of their ano malies and defects. He then entered into a narrative of the rise and progress of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, since its first starting in 1846, under the spontaneous auspices of the citizens. The total number of persons who had entered into con tracts to take the Central Company's gas was 6,000, and their consumption of gas would amount to 250 million cubic feet of gas per annum. The capital for affording this supply was limited in the first instance to 150,0001., to be extended to 250,0001. On the with drawal of the Bill lastsession, a few persons withdrew from the contract, it being optional. The petition that had beenpresented to the Commissioners of Sewers had been signed by 10,000 out of 16,000 inhabitant house holders in the 10 City parishes in favour of the Central Company's Bill, and the Commissioners of the City Court of Sewers, without their first obtain ing an Act of Parliament, had given their permis sion to take up the pavement and lay down the mains and pipes in order that no time may be lost. Their works at Bow-common were now going on rapidly, and there was more than 136,0001. already subscribed. They expected after twelve months' working to re duce from 4s. to 3s. 4d., and eventually to 3s. The works now constructing for 136,0001. would enable them to manufacture 320 million cubic feet of gas, but this by leakage would be diminished one-sixth, or 53,333 cubic feet ; so that they would have 270 millions for sale. The total annual cost of producing and distributing this quantity was 44,7091., and there would be a surplus, after paying ten per cent., of 8,6241., available for further reduction. Tho Learned Counsel concluded by calling Mr. Charles Pearson, M.P., who was giving evi dence in favour of the measure, when the Speaker, at four o'clock, was announced to be at prayers, and the Committee adjourned to this day at twelve o'clock.

It appears that a Mr. Jack, a farmer in Gleaneagles, after attending the market which was held during the day, went into the house of Mrs. Drummond, his sister, who resides in Auchterarder, and with whom a brother of Jack's also lodges, and that there some words took place between the two brothers re garding s , me family matters which had never been satisfac torily settled; when on a sudden, during the dispute, Jack pulled a spring dagger from his pocket, rushed upon his brother, and stabbed him to the heart. The unfortunate man only survived four or five minutes, which shows that the weapon must have entered some of the vital parts. Jack was immediately apprehended and brought into Perth by the railway in the evening. lle was a number of years ago con. fined for some time in a lunatic asylum, but we have heard nothing to lead us to believe that he has had any return Of the malady of late.—Edinburvh Courant.
