We cannot enforce " teetotalism " by Act of Parliament. Many persons require, or, what is nearly the same thing, think they require a stimulant, and the use of ardent spirits has become so habitual that there is no prospect of their being relinquished, or ceasing to become articles of general consumption. If we subject the fair trader to pro hibitory duties or undue restrictions we only furnish additional inducements to smugglers and others anxious to defraud the public revenue. The community in general, not merely the producers and vendors, but also the pur chasers and consumers, are thus demoralized, and the most mischievous consequences would follow a fiscal mistake of so grave a nature. _ _ In ascertaining the amount of duties to be levied on home-made spirits in different parts of the United Kingdom, it was discovered that full allowance should be made for the facilities existing for illicit distillation in the various localities. It was not intended to confer a boon upon Ireland or Scotland, or to enable the inhabitants of those countries to indulge their taste for ardent spirits at a cheaper rate than their English brethren, that the duty was fixed at only 2s. Bd. in the former, and 4s. in the latter, while 7s. 101 per gallon was charged in England. Such a distinction could not be justified on any other grounds but those above alluded. to. If the revenue laws could be fully enforced the duty would be the same in all plata of - the kingdom. But actual experience has proved, beyond the pos sibility of doubt, that any material increase in the rates charged in Ireland or Scotland would not yield additional revenue to the exchequer, but would merely lead to formidable organization against the law. There are, however, other points on which a judi cious minister of finance should act liberally toward, the distilling trade. There are many excise regula tions that prove exceedingly injurious to the spirit manufacturer, which might easily be altered ; such a change is the more essential, since the abolition of the protective duties on colonial spirits. Some years since the heavy charge upon rum operated as a practical prohibition to the use thereof in the sister kingdom. But that having been altered in 1848, and the differential duty having been reduced to 4d. per gallon, so as to bring these articles into full and fair competition, the home producer is entitled to demand of the Legislature that he should be exempted from annoyances and impediments in his business from which his rivals are free, for which scarcely any pecuniary allowance can compensate, and which have driven many persons altogether out of the trade. It was to one of these points that Lord NAAS last night directed the attention of the House. It ap pears that the duty on foreign and colonial spirits is only levied on the amount actually brought into con sumption, and for which payment is received. The Irish distiller, however, is obliged to pay on what iesues from the worm's end. He is allowed to place his spirits in bond, but he receives no ' compensation for what is wasted by leakage or eva poration while in the QUEEN'S stores. It was, there fore, reasonably demanded that he should only be required to pay duty on what he could make actually available—that which remained on hand when taken nto stock. The Chancellor of the Exchequer resisted this just and equitable proposition, which, if his own statements be correct, would not amount to more than a fraction of a . penny per gallon, and which could not, therefore, be productive of any great loss to the revenue, although it would afford considerable relief to the distiller. The House, how ever, decided in favour of the motion by's majority of 22—there being 85 in its favour and 53 against. The Right Hon. Gentleman now refuses to be bound by that decision, declaring that he considers himself " perfectly free to take whatever course he may con sider proper." His colleagues in the Ministry did not thus set the House at defiance when they bowed to the hasty and absurd resolution on Lord ASHLEY'S motion for the total cessation of Post-office duty on Sundays throughout the entire country, a resolu tion fraught with the greatest public inconvenience, and carried by surprise the day after the Derby. Sir CHARLES Woon, however, thinks that he can despise the representatives of the people, and that all must bow down to his ridiculous dogmas. A novel and brilliant evidence of the diplomatic genius of her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs has just been afforded by the extra ordinary convention concluded on the 12th of April between this country and the United States, through the instrumentality of the respective negotiators at Washington. The success with which this difficult question has been brought to a satisfactory settlement is not less remarkable than the project of which it is at once the expression and the fulfilment—that project being nothing less than the construction of a grand inter-oceanic ship canal between the two Americas. connecting together the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific. When this gigantic scheme was originally agitated, it will be remembered that a disposition was evinced by the United States to secure its own aggrandizement at the expense of Great Britain, and to acquire a monopoly of interest in the proposed undertaking by certain flagrant en croachments upon the minor principalities of the Isthmus between the northern and southern conti• nents. It will be recollected, for example, that a company of American citizens having received exclu sive rights to open a route of communication across Panama, and the United States having immediately before that obtained possession of California, there appeared an official report, the result of the delibera tions of the committee of Congress, in which it was proposed to subsidize the association by a yearly grant, with a view to secure certain privileges and prerogatives, fur the exclusive enjoyment, the sole advantage, and the superior convenience of the citi zens of the Republic. According to this, it was in tended that passengers in American vessels, and citi zens of the United States, generally, should be af forded better and cheaper facilities of conveyance across Panama than any other individuals ; and a Bill was ultimately introduced into Congress, by which it was arranged that similar rights should be accorded to the armed forces and munitions of war appertaining to the United States Government. Throughout all these preliminary steps of the movement it was very perceptible that the Cabinet at Washington was actuated by its inordinate lust after territorial aggrandisement. Its ambition, whetted by its successes in Mexico, and exalted by the seeming embarrassment of England in the midst of the revolutionary agitations of Europe, rapidly gave forth tokens of its aggressive and ad venturous character. So large, indeed, was its au dacity in this particular, that its example inspired the miserable little state of Nicaragua with the courage of complicity. That principality willingly yielded up to the demand of the United States the right to construct either a railroad or a ship-canal through its dominions (I) together with a power of navigating a portion of the river St. John not included in that possessions territory, thereby secur i ng an exc l us iv e b ene fit t o the United St a t es b y encroac hi ng upon the privileges an d psess belonging to M usqu it o . O ver thi s Mos quito, be it not forgotten, England had long exercised, and still t o t hi s moment exercises, the influence of her protection. Mosquito was not previously as under osly under the administration , butit w unques tionablyou r notoriushelter of a British protectorate. Unprepared, it may be raise any objection to the schemes entered upon by the United States, when those scheme s alone affected the then recent acquisition of California and the neutral principality of Nicaragua, England felt herself compelled to interfere in that audacious enterprise immediately it touched upon th e rights and advanced beyond the boundaries of the protected state of Musquito. The first determination formed by the British Government to interrupt the course of these p soon afterwards proceedings was con firmed by a circumstance which transpired to their astonishment, the circumstan ce o f a negotiation being on foot between the United States' Ambassador and the authorities -of Nicaragua, em powering the Republic of which the former was the accredited representative, to flank the whole of the proposed c an al with a continuous line of fortifications. A resolute interposition became absolutely necessary immediately these facts came to light ; and in the conduct of such an interposition it was equally requi site that resolution should be tempered by the tokens of our amicable disposition. Under the audacious directiou of Lord PA-tuszsroN Her MAJESTY'S Minis t e rs haveag ain sustained a signal and decisive defeat, and that on a fiscal ques tion. Ther e was a ti m e when such an event would be a matter o f grave i m p o rtance, leadin g, perhaps, to change in th e G overnmen t o f the country. Sir CHARLES WOOD has, however, contrived to excite to Much di scontent and dissatisfaction on all su bj ec t s ' connectel with the important department over which he presides, that the simple fact of the Government being left in a minority has ceased to excite any great astonishment, or to lead to any serious apprehensions as to the probable results. We might therefore, perhaps, consider it unnecessary to offer any particular observations on a matter of such frequent occurrence, but for some circumstances connected with the question in which they have been placed in a position so humiliating and unpleasant? and also fur the manner in which the decision of a majority of the House of Commons has been received by the party representing the Government. There is no single tax less objectionable than that on spirits. It is, perhaps, the only one of the in direct imposts that can in any degree be justified. The only limitation necessary in fixing the amount duty is, that it should not be so great as to encou rage illicit distillation. If the trade could be alto gether suppressed, and that no such commodity could be obtriined, it would, perhaps, be so much the better; an explanation was adventured upon, and to the end I Besides the journey of the PRESIDENT to St. Quen that all existing difficulties might be brought to a tin, of M.

In order to bring about this felici- Strasbourg, tous result, it was, of course, incumbent upon both parties to consent respectively to certain essential con cessions. Happily these concessions have been mad, without any reservation whatever on the part of either of the plenipotentiaries. The convention is full and complete ; without a flaw or a hitch; every thing, in fact, that could be reasonably desired. England stimulates, instead of retarding, the development of the scheme out of which the whole of the previous misunderstanding had originated-- namely, the construction of a vast ship canal con necting the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United States on the other side withdraws all its efforts to encroach upon Musquito, acknowledging it to be under a British protectorate ; it resigns moreover its intention of claiming an 'erellegve monopoly of ad vantages, or of building up the intended line of forti fications. While yielding with spontaneous readi ness upon these several points, the two contracting powers have decided also in like manner to co-operate with all possible earnestness and energy in carrying out a scheme which, once perfected, would tend to the almost incalculable advancement of the mer cantile enterprize of the world, and would in evitably prove a stepand a gigantic step too in the way of securing the 'further civilization of both hemispheres. How far the convention commits the United States and Great Britain to the prosecu tion of the enterprise may be perceived from the nature of the seventh article, which runs verbatim as ollows It being desirable that no time should be unnecessa rily lost in commencing and constructing the said canal, '.he Governments of the United States and Grew, Britain determine to give their support and encou ragement to such perions or company as may , first offer to commence the same with the ne cessary capital, with the . consent of the local authorities, and on such principles as accord with the spirit and intentions of this convention; and if any persons or company should already have with any state through which the proposed canal may pass a contract for the construction of such a canal as that specified in this convention, to the stipulations of which contract neither of the parties in the convention have any just cause to object, and the said persons or company shall have made preparations and expended time, money, and trouble on the faith of such contract, it is hereby agreed that such persons shall have a priority of claim over every other person or company to the protection of the United States and Great Britain, and-be-allowed a year from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the con vention for concluding their arrangements and present ing evidence of sufficient capital subscribed to accom plish the undertaking; it being understood that if, at the expiration of the aforesaid periods, such persons or com pany shall not be able to commence and carry on the projected enterprise, then the Governments of the United States and Great Britain shall be free to afford their protection to any persons or company that shall be p! e pared to commence and proceed with the construction, of the canal in question. ' From this it will be perceived that the dream of beholding a vast ship canal threading a road through the central isthmus of the Americas is at length ac tually approaching its realization. To its fulfilment the Governments at London and at Washington have now definitively pledged themselves in a convention which not the less reflects honour upon the ability of Mr. CLAYTON, and upon the capacity of Sir HENRY BULWER, than it redounds to the glory of Lord PAL MERSTON as a statesman, an administrator, and a diplomatist.

He was br-Lgrtt back to P o tsdam uud an inquiry commenced, which proved that the whole story was inv, nted. Intelligenco from Berlinisto the 10th inst. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Much speculation was excited by the sudden de parture of M. THIERB to England for the purpose of paying a visit to the Comte ma NEurra,y, his former sovereign. The apparent cause for this pilgrimage is the alarming state of the health of the ex-King, and the solicitude of his old Minister to visit him once more before the possibility of their final separation by death. The imputed reason, on the contrary, is said to be a wish on the part of M. TRIERS to forward the negotiation already commenced between the younger and the elder branches of the Bourbon dynasty. Whether , - his latter surmise be really the inducement we can scarcely as yet understand, but it is indis putable that the Orleans family have of late betrayed symptoms of a desire of reconcilia tion. Prior to his departure from Paris the historian of NAPOLEON paid a visit to the PRESIDENT at the Elysee, as if he would thereby have intimated to him that his journey was rather sentimental than trea sonous. However it may be, the visit of M. TRIERS at this particular time to th e once powerful monarch is the subject, naturally, of many conflicting conjectures. Upon it the Opinion Publique observes, " This journey may have more influence on his destiny than could reasonably be expected from a pilgrimage merely prompted by a sentimental fidelity." iv.l. Titian is not expected to return to Paris before Friday ; and M. G UIZOT, who left that city for Normandy a short time since, it is thought will proceed forthwith to London. Tne second sitting of the Commission entrusted with the duty of examining into the project of a grant to the PRESIDENT terminated yesterday. It is bexinning to be thought that the opinion of the majority will prove favourable to the wishes of Louis Neronitort. Several of the members of the Commission, it is said, have, received urgent en.. treaties from their constituents to vote in favour of the grant, the latter parties insisting that the grant will be amply compensated by the manner in which the additional sum of money will be employed —an argument which receives some corroboration from the following statements : " Before quitting St. Quentin the PRESIDENT handed to General ROQUET 400 f, to be distributed amongst the small garrison of the places. There was not an hospital nor a manufactory he visited during his late journey where he did not leave Marks of his bounty, and a sum of 4,000 f. was also distributed by him to the most deserving and most necessitous of the work ing population. It is chiefly by acts like these that his present difficulties have bean occasioned." It was at half-past eight o'clock on Monday even ing that the Prince returned to his palace of the Elysee, after his triumphal visit to St. Quentin. On Monday a funeral service was performed at the chapel of the Invalides in commemmoration of Mar shal BUGEAUD, the 10th being the first anniversary of his death. The service was attended by the rela tives and comrades of the Marshal. The Kolner Zeitung has telegraphic dispatches from Berlin stating that after having been confined to his bed for seventeen days, his MA JESTY at length so far recovered as to be able to rise for a few hours. Still the fatigue of getting up told on the KING'S nerves, and the night which followed the first attempt passed less quietly than might have been expected. The KING'S rest was likewise disturbed in the night from the 9th to the 10th of June, but still the wound is proceeding favourably. The Members of the Deputation to Copenhagen were expected at Kiel on the Bth. The papers ex press a feeling of satisfaction that their " unhappy' negotiation, which could not have led to any good result, has been broken off; the settlement of the question will evidently be made in Berlin, as no thing is expected from the reported conferences in London, and in Copenhagen nothing is likely to be concluded. From Hanover we hear that the birthday of the KING, who on the 6th instant entered his eightieth year, was celebrated with more than ordinary re joicing. The number of guests present at the en tertainment given by the civic authorities was so great that the dinner was laid out in spacious tents, the civic hall being too small to accommodate them. A circular of a most judicious character hss been addressed by the Prefect of Police to the CAnmis. series of Police of the ,department of the Seine, calling their attention to the refugees in Paris, and requesting that reports be regularly addressed to him as to their conduct while residing on the French territory. The Aloniteur publishes a letter from M. Wel, Lori, a Conservative Member fur the department of the North, announcing his resignation of his seat in the Assembly, in consequence of his having separated from his party on an important question. The venerable and episcopal benignity o f F ENELON would have been somewhat agitated with surprise or indignation, could the author of " Telemachus" have heard the statement made on Monday in the Le gislative Assembly by M. PIERRE L EROUX , to the effect that that exquisite classic i ncu l cates the doctrines of Socialism. The assertion was received with shouts of laughter. The director of the Republicaine de la Dordogne has been sentenced by the Assize Court of Peri guex to one year's imprisonment and I,ooof. fine for a seditious libel. It was reported yesterday in Paris, that the result of the ballot at Strasburg was in favour of the Conservative candidate; and a similar rumour was abroad in regard t o the military votes fur the election of the Bas Rhin.

THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE' ITALY. News from the Roman peninsula still continues to have most of its interest concentrated just now in Piedmont. _ _ Cardinal ANTONELLI has addressed a note, dated the 14th tilt., to the Charge d'Affaires of Sardinia, in which he renews the protest of the Holy See against the law of Siccardi, " which," he says, " is hostile to the Church and to its sacred rights, in direct opposition with the sacred canons, and with the solemn treaties concluded on the subject." He adds, that " the attempt against the sacred person of the excellent Archbishop of TURIN, who has been prosecuted by an incompetent judicial authority, arrested and sent to the citadel by the aid of the public force," is a still greater aggravation of the outrage. The prelate expresses his surprise at " this outrage, so in sulting to the high dignity of the sacred personage." He concludes by declaring that, " whatever reforms may have been introduced iuto the civil legislation of the Sardinian States, the venerable laws of the Church are, nevertheless, still in force." • The Bishop of TEMPIO (Sardinia) has addressed a circular to the clergy of his diocese, declaring that it is their duty to submit to the law of Siccardi. He orders, moreover, the Chancellors of the two Ecclesiastical Courts of Tempio and Castelsardo to transmit immediately to the secular tribunals all the cases that may still be pending before them. The Bishops of TAREATAI6E, INIAURIENNE, and ANNECY have refused the decoration of the Grand Cross of St. Maurice and Lazarus, whfeh the King of ,!.iARDINIA had sent them. Tne King of SARDINIA. has given directions for a rural festival at his villa of Stupinigi, to celebrate the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of GENOA. The members of both Chambers, and the National Guards of all degrees, are invited with their families. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th publishes an order of the day addressed to the National Guards of Turin by their commandant, General MAFFST, thank ing them in the name of the KING for their devo tion to• the country, and congratulating them on their martial appearance at the last review. The disorders which took place at Albenga on the oc casion of the new wine-tax have ceased, order menced. has been restored, and a judicial inquiry has corn- Another and somewhat more noticeable review has been held at Naples, where the KING in person as sisted with great state and magnificence. Don SEBAS TIAN, the Royal Infante of Spain, rode beside the KING. The French Generals SAUVAN and VAILLANT likewise accompanied his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY was received with cries of " Viva Dio I" " Viva it Re !" by the soldiers, and with acclamations by the lazzaroni. QUEEN'S BEN CH.—(THIS DAY.)

I think you ought to ap pear in some character or another. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I appear as counsel for Mr. Gorham. Mr. Baron PLATT—The rule is due to-day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—That is exactly what I am going to cay, and it is my duty to point out to your Lordships in what way I traink the parties may atter wards object to your jurisdiction. I wish to obviate that difficulty. The (THIEF BARON—The view which the Court tikes sit toe matter is the statute we art. entitled to name ct , rtain days in London and Westminster tur hearing and disposing ef business then pending. Now, in this case, a ride was granted yeitcrday; it is return able to-day, and, of course, is considered to be pending. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Pardon me, my Lord; but I have to suggest a difficulty as to what I think is the irregularity of the proceeding. Mr. Baron PLATT—You can suggest the difficulty when you come to show cause sgainst the rule. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No doubt, my Lord ; but we do not want the case thrown over the long vacation, as that may be the object of the other side. If the rule is returnable to-day at the rising of the Court it cannot be " pending," unless it is enlarged, and I submit the only course you can take to make the proceedings regular is to enlarge the rule until next term, iu which case you might hear counsel as proposed, on the 29th of June. The CHIEF BARON—It appears to me that the only difficulty arises on the words " then pending." lam of opinion. that the rule returnable to-day comes under the category of cases included in those words. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I want to preclude the possibility of any objection to your jurisdiction. The CHIEF BARON—We have announced to the litigant parties what course we intend to take, and if they are dissatisfied with this tribunal, they can have ►he rule discharged, and proceed in any other way they may think proper. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It is the irregularity of the mode of proceeding that provokes me to come here, because the point I have alluded to may ultimately be raised upon the record; and if I cannot be allowed to call your Lordships' attention to it in any other way, I may do ao as an umicus curie. Mr. Baron PLATT—Y4a do not appear here as amicus curia, but as the amicus of Mr. Gorham.—(A hiugh.) The CHIEF BARON—I do net see the slightest diffi culty in the ca.. We are ertaltd to hold sittings to vacation, and to deal with and decide on any matter pending and unoisposed of. The discussion, after some further observations, then dropped. IN THE MATTER OF THE ASSESSMENT TO THE LAND TAX IN THE HOLBORN DIVISION IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had to apply to the Court, by virtue of the prerogative of his office as At torney-General, to be allowed to bring on this case. Mr. PARRY—As ft junior member of the bar, may I aiik on what ground the Attorney• General claims a right of priority, this being the last day of term ? The CRIES' BARON—Whenever we sit here we are bound to give our attention to the Attorney-General in all cases in which the Crown is interested, and it mat ters not whether we may be called on to do so on the first or the last day of term. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then showed cause against the rule which had been outaixied in the case by Mr. Peacock, calling on the Laud•tax Commissioners to show cause why they had not made an equal assessment of the lu.nd-tax throughout the division. After hearing counsel on both sides, The COURT discharged the rule with cost?. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Betide J. POTTER, Esq.) THE SHERIFFS OF MIDDLESEX V. RATES. Tbis was au action by the Sheriffs of Middlesex against the defendant fur breach of covenant. The d.- wages were laid at 3201. Defendant allowed judgment to go by default. The facts of the case were these:—Defendant bad become one of the sureties fur a bailiff tamed White, and the present claim was for moneys received by him in that capacity, and damages and costs by plaintiffs in actions brought against them in consequence. Mr. Mountain and Mr. Nightin.gale, from the Sheriffs'- office, and other witnesses, proved the facts, and a ver dict was given for the amount. Two actions were tried a short time since against two other of the sureties. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COUNT. (Before the COMMON zIERGEANT and Mr. Aiderrchin FINNzs.) Octavius Ryland, aged 50, described as a clerk, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging hint with feloniously sending to the Rey. William B. Collyer, a letter threatening to accuse him of an infamous crime, with intent to extort money from him. The CoSDION SERGEANT told him that be hsd com mitted one of the highest offences known to the law, and it was the duty of the Court to visit such offenders rills the severest punishment. The sentence of the Court, therefore, was that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) ROBBERY AT A POST OFFICE.—Thomas Simpson, aged 27, described as a grocer wa. indicted for stealing a post letter containing one half-sovereign and one shilling, the property of the Postmaster-Geueral. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, con ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Metcalfe, defended the prisoner. The prisoner had been a porter in the service of Mr. Bradon, a grocer, carrying on business in High-st.ftet, Islington. His master's shop was one of the PoBt.l.ifice receiving -houses tor the Islitigtori district, said for some time past several letters containing money had been posted there, it hich never reached their destination. The Post-office authorities, therefore, laid a trap to catch the thief. They caused a letter. containing a marked halt-sovereign and a marked shilling, and ad dressed to " Miss Eliza Barber Hte4flestoek, Wrexham, North Wales," to be posted at Mr. Bradon'e shop. This letter, in due course, ought to have been forwarded to the general office in St. Martin's-le-Grafi& to be dis patched into the country, but when the bag was re ceived from High -street. Islington, and opened, this let. ter was missing. An officer was immediately sent off to a:veri ail& who had made up the bag, and it being aver 'Mutat Shat the prisoner, with another, had ussiuted at the task, uoth the parties were searched. Nothing wss fmnd on the out', but the marked shilling which had been placed in the letter was discovered in the possession of the prisoner, and. he was therefore given into custody. I'he letter aid halt-sovereign were still missing. Mr. METCALFE addressed the jury for the prisoner, sted.the Learned Judge, having summed up, the jury, efter a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Court then seutenced the prisoner to eighteen months' imprisonment. NE W CO U RT. (iiPtcrk: the RECORDER.) Caroline Perira, the ayah, who yesterday prosecuted two parties for an alltged fuli ny. was this morning ar raigned on an indictment charging her with stealing a quantity ol jewellery, the property of Dr. Darwood, her former master. Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecutor, stated that in consequence of the previous good charac ter of the prisoner, and believing that in this case she had been made the tool of other parties, the prosecutor was not anxious :to offer any evidence against her, if such a course met the approval of the Court. The RECORDIas did not think the jury could con scientiously co-2,vict the prisoner under the circein srances, and he had therefore no objection to consent to the proposal of the Learned Counsel. A verdict 4,f Acquittal was accordingly taken. James Allen, a labourer, aged 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a pocket•handkerchief, ♦alued 91., and wac sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. Thomas Jackson, a sailor, aged 18, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing 2i yards of cloth, ♦alued 7s. 6d., and was sentenced to four mouths imprisonment with hard labour.

He went there on the Monday according to appointment, when he found . t')at the prisoner had absconded without paying her rent. This excited his suspicions, and on inquiring at Lord Alfred Paget', he was informed that his Lordship knew nothing at all about her. lle saw nothing more of her urtil the 22d of May last, when he met her in Knightsbridge, and gave her in charge. Lord Alfred Paget proved that he was not acquainted with the prisoner, neither had he ever seen her before in his life. The letter produced was not in his hand writing. , . _ ElizA Gosby, said about four years ago, the prisoner obtained 270/.. from her under the pretence of in vesting it for her advantage. She saw nothing more of the prisoner for a considerable time after. when she demanded the restoration of her money. The prisoner then gave her 70/., and an "I. 0. U." fir the remainder. The latter had not been taken up. Several tradesmen who were in court, stated that the prisoner had swindled them out of property to a large amount, under the pretence of showing them to various nobleman and gentlemen. A number of other charges were gone into, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy, the sales being estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 400 American were taken on speculation, and 800 for export. Prices for American under 7fd. per lb. were *d. per lb. cheaper. The sal - es comprised 3,000 American, 600 Brazil at lid. to Bd., 200 Surat at &id. to 5;c1., and 50 Sea Islands at Is.

There are nu arrivals to-day with mews of particular interest, the continental accounts merely noticing steady markets for produce. In the latest accounts from Quebec it is stated that— " The number of vessels arrived in our port this sea son, from the opening of the navigation to this date, is 287, the aggregate burden of which is 117,317 tons ; being an increase over the statement of last year for ti.e same period, of 109 ships and 45,028 tons. The total number of passengers arrived up to yesterday was 118 cabin, and 8,485 steerage—in all, 8,603. On referring to the comparative statement of last ear for the above mentioned period, we find that the balance was in favour of the preceding year (1848) 91 vessels and 33.480 tons. " We have bad an extraordinary prevalence of strong easterly winds ar Quebec, which prevents the setting in of warm weather, and materially operates against the progress of vegetation.
