Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra ?Minium for Residence he Tropical Climate& EQUITAI3LE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ars—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of ris'c—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements en which to proportion Premium to risk ia Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Prerniums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The tree rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult kis interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, frorn time to titre, adopt ouch rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fluty per cent. of the sett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3e. per cent, without the Average Clause.

REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the ORDI NARY GENERAL MEETING of MEMBERS of the ENGINEERS, MASONIC, and UNIVERSAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 1850. The Directors have to report that during the year 1850 392 Pro posals for Assurance have been submitted to the Board, of which 323, assuring the sum of 85,5251., and producing Annual premiums to the amount of 2,9621. 15s. 5d., have been completed. The Directors have deemed it prudent to decline 31 Proposals for the sum of 14,8001., and 38 for the sum of 15,1001. Stand over for the completion or further consideration. The number of claims from death during the year has been five, and the amount paid upon these, and upon the claims which arose la December. 1549, is 2,2501. In all cases, when requested by the re presentatives, immediate payment has been made, subject to the asual discount. There are not, at the present time, any claims upon the Society. The annual income derivable from premiums alone upon the 1,174 policies completed to the 31st Dec., 1850, is 11,07ti1. is. 4d. The Directors feel greet pleasure in being enabled to submit this ♦ery satisfactory statement, which cannot but enlist from the public increased favour for the Society, and with the continued aid. of the members must advance its prosperity.

The distinctive feature of this Company consists in the salliciency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an A'.urance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons in the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this Com pany are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company will pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom.

Early in 1847 they received intimation from the engi neer not to deliver so rapidly, and ultimately were stopped altogether. It was proved that for the pur pose of performing their contract the plaintitfa had taken premises and established works at Chesterfield, and entered into sub-contracts with other iron masters —to one of whom they had paid 5001. by way of compensation for not accepting iron according to the sub-contract. The delivery of the chairs continued at intervals to December, 1849, and the railway was opened from Nottingham to Grantham in July, 1850. Evidence was given on the part of the defendants to show that as early as March, 1848, the company had given notice to the plaintiffs that no more chairs would be required than were necessary to complete the line to Grantham; and that one of the plaintiffs had then said that they might take as many as they pleased. The secretary of the company swore that at that time the plaintiffs were paid 500/. on condition that the company should not be compelled to take more of the chairs than they required, but in the entry of the payment in the minutes no mention was made of that condition. Since the date of the contract the ♦alue of iron railway chairs had Wien 2/. per ton; and the plain. tiffs roughly estimated their loss by the breach of con tract at between 3,000/. and 4,0001. Mr. MACAULAY, on behalf of the defendants, sub mitted that as the contract was under seal the plaintiffs eauld not be discharged or exonerated from th• perform ance of any part of that contract, except by some other instrument under the seal of the company, and that they were therefore bound to have tendered the chairs to the company for acceptance before they could maintain this action. The Learned JUDGE, however, held that they were not bound to tender the chairs, after they had received no tice from the company's engineer that no more would be accepted, and he directed the jury to consider the acts of the engineer as the acts of the company. The jury returned a ♦erdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1,8001. Metreli 13. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERS() the wilful Edward Jeffries, aged 15, was indicted for murder of Jonathan Brett. Mr. Barker conducted the prosecution; Mr. W. H. Adams defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of Saturday, the Ist of February, the prisoner and the deceased were together at the Red Lion publie-house, at Worksop, in which town they both lived. At about a quarter-past t they wore both turned out of the public-house; and there was no doubt that both were to some extent in toxicated. They went together into the house of the deceased, and soon afterwards quarrelling was heard. A witness went into the house, and they wore found standing up as if to fight. They had been quarrelling about cards. A man of the name of Graves was also in the house, and the prisoner said, " I will finish you both." That was about one o'clock. The prisoner then left the house, and was next seen running in a direction towards a place called the gashouse, which was kept open all night, and where there was a fire and light. On his way he was met by a man, to whom he said, " Jonathan Brett and another has been punching me," and " fetch a taste to give it hint." At the gas-house there was a man named Parker lying down fast asleep, and one named Coulton lying awake. Both had been in company with the prisoner and deceased that evening at the public-house, and had left it about the same time. The prisoner stared at Coulton; and then took from the cor ner of the gashouse a gun belonging to Parker. That was a gun which would take to pieces without disturb ing the charge if it was loaded. Parker had discharged it with powder only on the Friday before, and had not loaded it since. Ho stated that it was broken, and he should have been afraid to discharge it loaded with shot. That gun was taken away by the prisoner, and soon afterwards the report of a gun was heard. The wife of the deceased went home about two o'clock, and found her husband lying on the floor of an upstairs room, wounded in the bead. A surgeon was called in, and upon examination found a gun-shot wound over the left eyebrow. A part of the hair and scalp of the head had been carried away and fixed to the ceiling of the room. From the position of the mark on the ceiling and the character of the wound, it was clear that the gun had been fired by some one standing close to the door of the house, which was below the window, and a little to the left. One shot only was lodged in the scalp, and one in the brain of the deceased, who lingered till the following Tues day. The rest went into the ceiling of the room. The pri soner on the night in question went home to his sister's house, where he lived, about two o'clock, and wen Ito bed. In his room was found Parker's gun, and also in the house another gun, which belonged to the prisoner, and a lkowder- ' fissk. Parker's gun appeared to have been recently dis charged. The prisoner, upon being first charged, said, " I was at home, ever since nine;" to which the con• stable replied, " I myself turned you out of the Red Lion at half-past twelve," but at that time the priiouer still appeared to be in a state of intoxication. After wards he said that ho fetched the gun from the gas house, that he went to Brett's and called him up, that Brett put his head to the window, and that he fired the gen off, but not with the intention of hurting him— merely to frighten him. Mr. ADAMS, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, contended that the statement made by him was consis tent with all the circumstances of the case. lle hud cer- tainly been guilty of a ♦ery foolish and wicked act; but there was no reason to suppose that he intended to kill the unfortunate deceased. There was no evidence that he had loaded the gun; and it was not likely that he would have taken Parker's broken gun instead of his own, if he had known that it was loaded with shot. If he bad intended to kill Brett, he would have chosen a better position for taking aim than that which he had taken; and the motive suggested was one which would account for an intention to frighten the man who had offended him, but was altogether insufficient to account for the deliberate intention to take away his life. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence; and the jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter. His LORDSHIP expressed his concurrence with the ver dict; and sentenced the prisoner to be transported fur ton years. The business of the assizes terminated about one o'clock, and the Learned Judge proceeded to Derby, to open the commission for that county. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 12. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT) Alexander Preston and William Marshall were charged with having, at Bradford, on the 4th of January last, feloniously assaulted and robbed one William Mawson. Mr. Campbell Foster appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Dearsley defended the prisoner Preston; the other prisoner was undefended. On Saturday night, the 4th of February, the prosecu tor, who is the son of a blacksmith near Bradford, having heard that his uncle, who lived at Bradford-moor, was very ill, was proceeding to his uncle's house about eleven o'clock; when ho got near the moor he passed three men, one of whom spoke to him, and asked him if they were going the right way to Leeds. And no sooner had he spoken than ho received a violent blow on the face, and was failed to the ground; and they rifled his pockets of his watch and some silver. Two of the men then went away, leaving the third standing over •him, who said if hu did not lie still while he went away, he would give him something that would make him. The prosecutor identified the prisoner Preston as the man who stood over him, for, though the night was dark, there was a great glare from the Bowling Iron Work's furnace, which enabled him to see him distinctly. He then went on to see his uncle, and on his return to Bradford gave information to the police, with a descrip tion of the robbers. One of the Bradford police had seen the two prisoners on the road about eleven o'clock. The prosecutor picked out the prisoner Preston from amongst a number of others in the gaol. He could not identify the prisoner Marshall, but a witness named Raistrick saw him the day after the robbery take a watch out of his pocket, and go and hide it in a hole in the wall of the Spink-wsll Tunnel, and subsequently Rsistrick went there with another man, and found the watch hidden, which was the identical watch of which the prosecutor had been robbed. Mr. DEAUSLEY addressed the jury for the prisoner Preston. His LORDSHIP having summed up. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. A. previous conviction having been proved, his LORD SHIP sentenced them to be severally transported for ten years. John Easterby Swale, was indicted for embezzling divers sums of money, amounting to 1401., the property of his masters, the Yorkshire Banking Company, In whose service be was in the eapacity of a clerk. Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Hale prosecuted; Mr. Joseph Pollock defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a clerk in the York shire Banking Company, at their branch at Thirak, and that at certain times, when notes which were worn too much for use were returned to the bank, they were not re-issued, but when a sufficient quantity was collected they were done up in bundles, for the purpose of being sent to the main office to be cancelled; and the manner in which they charged the prisoner with having em • bezzled the money was, that when ha recoived money over the counter, he abstracted some of such money from time to time for his own purposes, and then, in order to make his cash balance, he went to the bundle of notes which had been placed on one side to be sent for cancellation, and took enough for that purpose, and, altering the label, which described how many notes the bundle contained, then ho re-issued the notes. The strongest point against the prisoner was, that his salary was only 41. a month, and ho had paid away money in notes of the company. At the close of the opening of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. JOSEPH Pommex submitted that there was no case for the jury. His LORDSHIP said they had better hear the evidence. At the close of which his LORDSHIP intimated that it was not suffi c i en tly clear to bring the c ase home to th e prisoner, a n d th a t the whole difference m i g ht have arisen through a mistake in adding up the notes which had been placed in the bundle and labelled. The jury, there fore, Acquitted the prisoner. GENERAL DE NOZA.—The Danish General de Noza, by whom the battle of Idstsad was decided, is an I sraelite, a native of Copenhagen.—Jewish Chronicle. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Bacon, a lad about 17 years of age, was brought up before Alderman Wire for fir,al examination charged with stealing three spirit lamps, and a variety of other articles, the property of Mr. Button, chemist, Holborn-hill, and Charles Gibbons, a marine store dealer, was charged wi t h receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Alderman WIRE raid the evidence was so strong against Gibbons that he felt no hesitation in at once committing him for trial with the prisoner Bacon. With regard to three reams of paper found on Gibbon's pre mises, evidence was produced to show that it was the property of the Government Stationery-office, and that it could not possibly have come properly into the posses sion of the prisoner, as it was of a peculiar make, such as the Government only use. Witnesses appeared, who proved the three reams to be a portion of 500 reams de- , ...._ livered into the Stationery-office in the latter part .. of last year, and also the re-delivery to the Government printers, from whose premises it must have been stolen. Gibbons declined to account for the manner in which he came possessed of the paper, and ho was accordingly committed for trial for ha►ing unlawfully in his posses sion three reams of paper, the property of her Majesty's stationer, without being able to render a satistaetory account of the same. Alderman Salomons rose to make the following appli cation to the sitting magistrate, Alderman WIRE:—He said that what he was about to mention was a question of considerable importance to the public, who expected on every occasion that justice should be adminbitered dis creetly and impartially, and that the poor should meet with that protection that wealth gives to the rich, He was sitting at the Old Bailey Court on Saturday with the Recorder, and as the Court was about to break up a poor old woman came in in a most pitiable state of mind, having just learnt that her son, who bad been tried in the course of the morning, had been convicted and sen tenced to transportation, end that, too, without having one word said in his defence. She said she bad paid a man repesenting himself - - lie' - - 35., that being all the money she had, to irosaresownsie fond her snr. He told her that was rat t esellgh, Gad Abe accordingly went home, and after Beau% j , thitti she possessed in the world, and by dint of borrowing t—ui triends, she succeeded in raising a further sum of 155., which she handed over to the same person. No counsel appeared, and the poor woman, having been fleeced of her all, wap now its a perfectly destitute state. Harding, 3, police sergeant, went to tb s person's address, and was there informed that he had left early in the morning and had not been back since. It was suggested that a warrant should be issued for his apprehension, but after some con sultation, the Recorder and he (Alderman Salomons) came to the decision the. it would perhaps be better to take the middle course, and issue a summons to require him to appear and explain his conduct. On the after noon of a subsequent day the person alluded to appeared in the court, and acknowledged having received the money of the unfortunate creature, and promised to re turn it. He had not done so, and the worthy Alderman thought he was only doing his duty as a magistrate to the public in applying for a summons against him. Alderman WIRE said that he could have no hesitation in such a case in granting a summons. He thought the public would feel indebted to his friend Alderman Salo mons for having brought the matter under the notice of this court. In the course of the afternoon the prisoner Gibbons applied to be admitted to bail. . . • Alderman WIRE said ho should increase the amount from what it was before to a very heavy sum, as there were two cases against him. Bail was then put in, two sureties of 2001. each, and himself in 4001., to appear and answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, WORSHIP-STREET. David Pemberton, a fellow of dissipated appearance, was charged with a brutal attack upon his wife. The wife, whose face was strapped up with adhesive plaister, and who appeared to have been very cruelly treated, stated, that while doing hwr family's washing on the preceding evening the prisoner, who was con stantly in ;he habit of wasting his means in the gratifi cation of his drunken propensities, staggered into the house in a state of intoxication, and, advancing to the fireplace, on which was a saucepan filled with boiling water, lifted off the lid, in the expectation of finding something in it to eat. On seeing that there was not, be seized the saucepan, and hurled it, and its boiling con tents into the tub at which she was standing. and, on her darting back to escape being scalded, ho dealt her such a ferocious kick on the lower part of the stomach, that she was partially lifted off her feet, and fell heavily upon the floor. Not satisfied with this act of brutality, the instant she had fallen he struck her a violent blow on the side of her head with his fist; and, on her attempt ing to rise, dealt her such a terrible blow in the face, as to slit her nose completely down v Thcibletd-imree diately gushed out over here but by a violent effort she succeeded iu getting on to her feet, and, rush ina out of the house, made the best of her way to the police-station, from which one constable was dispatched to effect the prisoner's apprehension, while a sec , nd was sent with her to a surgeon's to get lit r injuries dressed. The poor woman added that she had bean most cruelly beaten by her husband many times before, without more provocation than she bud given bim upon this occasion, and expressed her apprehension that, if he wero not properly restrained, one of his at tacks upon her would be attended with most serious results. The prisoner pleaded his intoxication as an excuse for his conduct, but Mr. HAMMILL considered that an aggravation rather than the reverse, and sentenced him to pay the extreme penalty of 51., or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for two months, end furthermore ordered him at the expiration of that term to put in two substantial sureties in 25/. each for his peace able conduct towards his wife for the succeeding three mouths. The prisoner was unable to pay the penalty, and was therefore carried away in the van. Carriage paid to any part of the kingdom. APOL LONIOO N.

At the conclusion of the trial of the Ucktield burglars last night, Edward Isaacs, 29, another of the same gang, was indicted fora burglary at Hayward's Heath. There was also a charge against him and Brooks of having feloniously assaulted a police-constable with in tent to prevent the apprehension of the latter prisoner. Mr. Johnson prosecuted. The approver Hamilton was again examined as a witness, and the charge of burglary was clearly estab lished by his evidence end by independent corroborative testimony. The jury found the prisoner Guilty; and a previous conviction for felony being proved against him, he was sentenced to be transported for life. James Gulver, alias Bull, Elizabeth Howes, James Ed,earde, 50, and 4lary Edwards, 50, his wife, were this morning placed at the bar, the first-metioned prisoner being charged with a burglary in the dwelling-house of Thomas Baker, at Rotherfield, and the others with re ceiving the property, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Johnson again appeared for the prosecution. The evidence of feloniously receiving the property was clearly established, and it appeared that the prisoner Howes was the sister of Bror,ks, who was convicted on Wednesday of the Uckfield burglary, and that this prisoner was the nephew of the Elwardsss, and the existence of a most extensive system of plunder appeared to be established. It would seem that most of the men were occupied as hawkers travelling about the country, and they wore oc cupied, under the cover of this apparently honest occupa tion, in obtaining information of the places that were the least protected, and the most likely to afford plunder; and when the robberies were committed, places of conceal ment for the stolen property were provided by other members of the gang. The jury found Jame. Edwards, Howes, and Gulver, Guilty of receiving, and Acquitted Mary Edwards, upon the ground that she had acted under the influence of her husband. The Learned JUDGE sentenced Gulver and Howes to be transported for fourteen years, and James Edwards was ordered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. Mr. JOHNSON said that there were several other charges of burglary contained in separate indictments, but as the whole of the prisoners were now convicted, he did not think it advisable to occupy the time of the pub lic by proceeding with them. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sanctioned the course sug gested, and ho at the same time observed that he thought it right to state that the Learned Counsel for the prose cution had conducted the cases with great cleverness, firmness, and intelligence, and that himself and the country were much indebted to him for the ability he had displayed. His Lordship then said that he hoped the example that had been made at these assizes of the parties guilty of such outrages would deter others from following the same courses, as they must be aware that it was clear they could not escape severe punishment it they persevered. Thu whole country had been kept in a state of alarm by these occurrences, and he did not wonder that people had been actually afraid to go to their beds. The police appeared to have acted with very great zeal and intelligence, and he thought it right to order them a reward for their activity and good be haviour. (The amount was not stated.) One or two other cases were subsequently disposed of, and this closed the business of the Sussex assizes. OXFORD CIRC U I Stafrord, March 12. The business began on the civil side to-day, at tnelY o , before Mr. Justice Patteson. Th e cause li st was about the average, containing fifteen common and five special jury causes. Doe dem. Bainbrigge e. Bainbrigge, again appears in it. At present it is said to be doubtful whe ther this will be tried at all during the present assizes; but if it be, it will be after the close of the business at Gloucester, when his Lordship may return here to dis pose of it. Only four cases were disposed of during the day—one was referred to arbitration. In the Crown Court the business which engaged at tention the greater part of the day was charges of as saults arising out of public-house rows. Several of these were disposed of. Both courts rose soon after six o'clock. CROWN CO URT.—(Before Mr. Justice TAISOURD.) Joseph Ferns, aged 26, a labourer, was iudicted for the manslaughter of Joseph Phillips, on the 22d of Sep tember, at the parish of Alton. Mr. Kynersley conducted the prosecution ; Mr. It, Thomas appeared for the prisoner. The deceased was an elderly man, 70 years of age, and a near neighbour of the prisoner, and on the above day came to the prisoner's and grossly abused his (the prisoner's) father. The prisoner unfortunately became greatly excited, and struck the deceased a blow under the left ear, which killed him on the spot, but on seeing the poor man dead, he expressed the deepest regret, and vowed if ho got off this once he would never lift his hand against man again. He was immediately I taken into custody, and had remained in custody ever since. He was found Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in senten cin g him, said his conduct in striking an old man was most improper and indefensible, yet he could not forget that it was done in a father's cause, and when such feelings were exhibited they ought to be regarded with respect. He could see from the prisoner's demeanour, and gather from what he had the said, that he suffered m ore in ment al anguish from sad consequences of his act than he could from any pu nishment which the law could im p os e upon him. In con sideration of his long imprisonment, and a ll the circum stances of the case, the sentence would be a fortnight's imprisonment. MIDLAND ClliCUlT.—Nottingham, March 12. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE ) CORT AND ANOTHER V. THE AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, BOSTON, AND EASTItHiN JUNCTION RAI LWAY comp ", This was au action on a contract under seal to deliver 3,900 tons of iron railway chairs between the month of January, 1847, and May, ISIS, at 61. 15s. per ton. The alleged breaches were two-- : first, that the defendants had not paid for the chairs, which had bee n d elivered; se condly, that though the plaintiffs were ready to deliver the remainder, the defendant‘i had prevented the plain tiffs from delivering, and refused to receive them. As to the first breach, the defendants had paid 1591. into court, and it was admitted that that covered the balance due for the chairs actually delivered. As to the second breach, the defendants ploaded—first, that the plaintiffs were not ready and willing to deliver the chairs; se condly, that the defendants had not prevented the plain tiff+ from delivering or refused to receive them. Mr. llumfrey, Q C., and Mr. Willinore, appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Denison, for the company. In the end of 1846 the defendants entered into the contract in question for the supply of a quant i ty o f chairs w hi c h wou ld be sufficient for the wh o l e l eng th of the line th en con t e mplated-4 5 miles. Since that time they had abandoned the idea of making any portion of the line except that between Nottingham and Grantham. Only 1,787 tons h a d been delivered, and th e com pany 'now declined t o receive the remainder. By the terms of the contract a certain quantity was to be delivered per month, and payment was to bo made after a month's credit upon the c e rtificate of the engineer. In the course per- r. lbs.; rd the THAWS. James Spencer, alias Blach Jem, alias Jem the Logger, a well-known thief, about 28 3 ears of age, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing 561. from the person of Eliza Fordham, the wife of a wheelwright re siding at Stratford, while she was on her way from the Bank of Etzland to her own home on Wednesday, the 26th of February. A lad named .lames Green is in custody charged with being concerned in the robbery, and the evidence 'against him was that he was apprehended by Mills; 306 K, and on the officer making him acquainted with the charge, and asking him whether ue would be taken to the house of the prosecutrix for her to identify him, or be conveyed to the station-house, he chose the former alternative, and she immediately recognized him as one of the persons near her when she lost the money. Green then said to Mills I'll tell you all about it; myself, Tim Cassidy, and Tom Acheson, were in the Mile-end-road, when we met Jem Spencer, and ho told us to go and pick that pocket, and pointed to a lady among the crowd looking at a Cheap Jack (a travelling vendor) near the Mile.end-gate, and we did pick her pocket of a lot of gold and gave it to another. Spencer snatched it away, and gave us 21. each. We all bought a suit of clothes at a shop near Shoreditch Church, and we took a cab next day, and went to Romford, and there spent the remainder of the money." On this statement Mills detained the boy, one of a numerous juvenile gang that infest the streets, and Mr. Yardley remanded him till Monday. Police-sergeant Kelly, No. 2H, having heard that Black Jem was wanting, sought after him in the neighbourhood of that infamous haunt of thieves, Went worth-street, Whitechapel, and on Wednesday evening met him in Brick-lane, a few yards from Wentworth street, with several desperate thieves. Sergeant Kelly, who was in plain clothes, prudently followed him until he met with another detective, named Wigley, No. 141 H, a powerful man, who, upon a signal from Kelly, had the fellow in his grasp in an instant. The gang by whom he was surrounded attempted a rescue, but, after a desperate conflict, they were beaten off, and Spencer was secured and conveyed to the station-house. Mrs. Fordham, wife of John Fordham, of Stratford, stated, that on the 26th ult. she went to the Bauk of England with her husband and received some money, which she deposited with some bank papers in a white pocket-handkerchief, and put the parcel in her pocket. She parted from her husband in Cheapside and went to wards home with her sister. She stopped at a crockery ware stall in the Mile-end-road, and directly after she had made a purchase and left it missed the weight of the gold from her pocket, and, to her dismay, found it had been abstracted. She was then next door to the Blind Beggar public-house. She recollected some boys and a man were standing about her while she was. et the crockery-stall. The man engaged her tt about a teapot she was about to purchase, a n d sai du manapo . n an there was something the matter. She thoug h t ai was stouter than the prisoner, and not dresse d so well. A police-constable was appealed to, and .he refused to interfere or to arrest the man sh e pointe d out, because he was not on duty. Ann Dolby, sister of the last witness, was present when she lost her gold, and told her mister to keep an eye upon the man whom suspected while she went in near the place at quest of a policeman, wshheo standingwas the corner of North-street, and who would not give any assistance whatever. The witness was asked to look at the prisoner, and after doing so said the man who was near her sister when she was robbed looked much clearer in the face. Mr. Iroaneat said that upon this evidence he did not see how he could detain the prisoner. Kelly said the prisoner was a returned transport and a well-known thief. He believed the prisoner had been twice transported. He knew him to be the companion of thieves, and he was in company with two burglars when ho took him into custody. Mr. INGIIAM—That may be all very true , Sergeant Kelly, but I cannot detain any man on suspicion without evidence. Mills said the prisoner had given a false a dd res s, and that he was not known at th e place wh ere ho said he lived. Roche, the gaoler—Every stitch which the prison er has on is quite new, y our Worship. Mr. INGHAM said the only tittle of evidence ag ain o the prisoner wag, th a t h e had given a false address. ' Kelly entreated of the magistrate to rernsnd the pri soner till Monday, when Green would be again brought up. Mr. NonAm—Nn, I cannot; the evidence la too alfeki to warrant u long remand. I .1101 remand him till tia. tunlay Only. Kelly—itl bring any Iron evidence to-day, will your Worship be so bind as to hc.sr it? Mr. INGH AM — Certainly. Lit the prisoner be locked up ' ' or the. present. In the afternoon Spencer was again plaerd in the dock, and a boy of chubtful character, mimed Joseph Williams, aged 15, was brought forward by Kelly and put into the witness-box. His evidence was very curious He said—l was present last Saturday when Spencer met Green, and he said to him, " I'm blowed if you are not the best dip I ever met, Jem. You did that stout moll (the prosecutrix) of the heavy (gold) `fit Cheap Jack's, in Mile-end-read, and you are such a clever fellow that I'll take you in the country with me." Grt et, answered " No, I would rather atop at Harley's; you only gave to 21. each out of the 56 couters (sovereigns)." The wit • ness arlded that he saw one of the printed bills, offering s reward of 101., in a porkshop next day, and gave infor mation to Mills, which led to the apprehension of Greene. Mr. INGHAM asked for the prosecutrix, and was told that she had gone home, and was so much afficted at the serious loss she had sustained that she had been very ill ever since the robbery, and that sho was glad to get away from the court as soon as possible. Kelly said he expected to be in po.session of further evidence against Spencer end Green on Monday. Mr. INGHAM—I will remand the prisoner till Monday DOCKYARDS, &c. (From the Times.) The main question between the Dockyards and the public, however it may be mystified, is as simple as it is weighty. A demand of 2,011,3071. is made for ship building and repairirg, during the current year. The charge, so far from being extraordinary, is recommended by the First Lord expressly on account of its unusual moderation. We generally spend a good del more than this, so that 2,000,000/. is decidedly a low average to take in discussing the nature of the outlay. It is asserted, :hen, that the wear and tear of tho navy in these times of peace is fairly and economical:y represented by the aforesaid annual charge. Unfortunately it is hardly pos sible to bring these figures to the test of any populist calculation; but we may, perhaps, approximate to some thing like a grasp of the vase by the considerations , fol lowing:—lt. used to - be reekoried "That a ship-of-war cost in round numbers 1,000/. a-gun; that is to say, that a three•decker stood as in some 120,0001.; a first-class frigate, 60,000/., and so on. In some points of construc tio❑ and outfit it is not improbable that the expense may have increased of late yeers, but, taking into account the lessons of experience and the reduced price, not only 'of provisi,,ns, but of many kinds of stores, we may tirly assume th it the total compute:len ought aorta tly not to be excesthd at the present day. Stipp , se, then, that we launched annually a three-decker, a 9u, and three first-class frigate 3; these would mount together 360 guns, and the cost would be 360,0001. Add five smaller craft, with an average armament of 20 guns each;—these would absorb 100,0001. more. Steamers are not so readily appraised, but if vie allow an expen diture of 240,0001. on such cons ructiens, and leave 300,0001. for repairs, we shall find that upwards of a million remains unaccounted for in the gross charge of the year. We shall be told that the " stores" alone would consume this surplus, and that there are many ex penses which we have overlooked. Very likely; but what we assert is that these expenses and these stores ought to be regulated by the ascertainable wear and tear of the navy, and nothing else; and that it is precisely in proportion as they exceed this measure that they are superfluous and extravagant. Shipbuilding charges should be simply charges for repairing damages, and supplying unseaworthy vessels by new ones—making illowance, of course, for the possibility of an in creased demand upon the reserve. Let it be certi fied how long, on the average, a ship should last, and what should be the effective strength of the fleet. The calculation of the yearly wear and tear would then tie easy, and we venture to say teat nothing like such a supply as we have assumed above would be found really necessary. Does an) body believe that a three•decker, a 90, three 50's, four 28's, and steamers in proportion, become fairly superannuated and disabled in the course of every successive year? We should like to see the estimates of the Atlantic and Oriental steam fleets for such contingencies. As to " repairs," as they are termed, Sir Charles Napier's letter will explain a good deal of that business. .11,40 We ••••••••• make bold to say that there is no single charge in the whole expenditure of the country which is so little defensible as this, for, as Mr. Cobden properly observed, to appreciate its true enormity wo should remember the capital already sunk in the concern. We have al ready an immense provision of ships, stores, basins, docks, and foundries. We are in the position of an es tablishment well settled, with its premises and ma chinery paid for, and its business in smooth order, so that, in fact, the demand of 2,000,0001. is merely to keep the concern going. It is the very minimum of our liabilities; it can never be materially less, though the smallest provocation may make it indefinitely greater. Yet this is the charge which is allowed to pass without exciting half as much opposition as a railway extension Bill! Where were the Financial Reformers on Monday. evening? Our metropolitan Members have lately been dunning us with the violence and clamour of their gas conades. They have formed themselves into a kind of " brigade" with the attested resolution of extorting re trenehments from Government at any hazard and any cost. 'Hwy have discarded argument altogether, and have declared their unefterntile purpose of storming every Cabinet which shall attempt to retain mantas taxes or to substitute any others in their place. Whore were they on Monday night, when the votes were taken of which taxation is the natural and inevitable sequel? What became of all the platform pledges so desperately thundered at the Marylebone meetings ? No sooner will Sir Charles Wood appear with his unfortunate Budget than we shall find these gentlemen running a muck at his proposals and denouncing one impost after another, although the expenses to be defrayed out of them are no longer within control. But what is the use of prott sting against an outlay lifter the charge has been actually incurred? and what is the value of that seal which is only conspicuous in repudiating or eluding ob ligations, and becomes invisible or silent when practical retrenchment is at stake? Mr. Cobden has laid it down as the result of his anxious reflections that nowhere but in these estimates can any material saving be made. To this conclusion we suggest a corolla - I.y:—i that nowhere but in the materiel and management of the services is any large proposal for economy likely to be carried. The time for action, therefore, was last Monday night: yet an enormous amount was then voted away with only a single division, and on that division 68 voices only were raised for economy. Mr. Cobden a nd Mr. Hume did, indeed, record their protests, though after a suicidal fashion, but nut a syllable had our re port to snow from any of those orators who, ten days before, had stunned all London with their ♦ociferous pro testations. We trust the Honourable Member for the West Riding has by this time learnt a lesson of legitimate •' tactics." If his true object is really to reduce our expenditure, and not to weaken our defences, he cannot avoid discerning that he has mistaken his lino. It is a delusion, he says, to expect a re duction of outlay except from a reduction of force. The delusion is exactly the other way. It is clearly hopeless, as two years of experiment must have shown him, to an ticipate a re-adjustment of our defensive establishments upon the scale he has suggested. We need not inquire more closely into the causes of this result. In whatever convictions it may have originated, the fact is perfectly evident that he carries with him neither the House of Commons nor the country in his proposal for cutting down the two services as excrescences upon the structure of the nation. But if, instead of directing his attack upon seamen and marines, he had made a skilful disposition of his forces, and reserved his onslaught for the shipbuilding charges, he would have encountered no opponents be yond the officials committed to the system—a phalanx which we have seen, of late days, it is not very difficult to overthrow. The question is not one of caprice or delu sion. We see where the money goes to, even before we are presented with the bill. The facts before our eyes. no less than the testimony of good authorities, teach us that there is gross mismanagement, that mismanagement brings waste, and waste taxation. Yet, in defiance of all these plain truths, the mischief is perpetrated still. and while one party goes after its own inventions, and another evaporates in platform oaths, the money for which all are scrambling is glibly voted away. WHAT TO DO WITH THE SURPLUS. Literally, the real embarrassment of the Government has been an ernLarras des rich es ses; for the chief diffi culty of the Cabinet has been what to do with the sur plus? Had it been a deficiency uld on tbe Mini ay star es had would have been used to it , f or they woly hto fill up the hole in the Treasury from the public pocket. but the surplus scans to give as much trouble as th e serfage, for no knows how to dispose of it. Tke to distribute it s t o o v b e e r c y ar li r g i h edvishre firs4,ldca, and a very unhappy one, of the Chancellor of a w t as nobody would feel it— - p r in cipl e t-- --- t h h e e E c x o c u b n e t q ry uer ib , which, though very judicious in the cue a where there is an unpleasant load of taxation reve rse of politic, where a benefit was to be distributed. Sir C. Wood began dealing with his surplus as a waiter at Vauxhall deals with a ham—b y a tt e nuated slices, that half the cutting it into pooh receipients would taste nothing at all, and the few, who might be susceptible o f the flavour, would only have a relish engendered for more. by their appetites being whetted i n stead of satisfied. As the Chancellor of the Exchequer will, probably, look to our pages tions for his Bud in the be exposed course of the w" k fur au gel viegw on Friday, we will get, to .* o public favour him with a hint or two, for which he ought to, and perhaps will, be very mush obliged to us. Instead of making eve rybody dissatisfied by invit ing the whole public to stand outsi de his cook's shop and inhale the vapours e manating from the good things within, and telling us we ought to be as well satisfied as if we had made a c3pital meal, we strongly recommend him to give a hearty good feed to those who want it most, and trust to the patience of the rest to wait till their turn comes. Let him take off the window-tax at one blow, and if there is anything more to spare, let him devote it to introducing a principle of something like justice into the imposition of the income-tax. As t hi s arr angement would g ive nothing to our unfortunate friends the ag riculturists, and as it is unpleasant to hear co wouldnst antlyptrhoepomse to atopelsncho thatlyroa ring of the British Lion, we noble but lugubrious ani mal's mouth with a lollipop, in the shape of an equalisa tion of the poor-rate. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer would proceed to the performance of the first part of our suggestion, and hold out the promise proposed in the last, we will gna irantee himself and his Budget a safe passage by the IParliamentary Train, and a happy delivery at the termi nus of the session. —Punch. The Earl of Besborongh had an interview with Lord John Rosati yesterday.
