Addressing himself, during the sitting of Tuesday, to the Legislative Assembly of the French Republic, M. DE LAMARTINE, from the tribune of that great Parliament, delivered one of those brilliant and re markable speeches, whose rhetorical elcquence tends not less to enhance his reputation as an orator than their lofty principles and benignant sentiments are calculated to elevate his character as a statesman. The question under discussion was the completion of the line of railway (either by the State or by public companies) from Paris to Avignon. In this subject of debate it should be remembered that one of the grandest difficulties of the age was directly involved—that hitherto perilous and in scrutable: problem, the attempted solution of which has convulsed not only the political, institutions of France, but more or less those of the entire conti nent. It was thereupon decided by an enormous majority of representatives (443 against 205), that the furtherance of national activity can be better ac complished through the aid of private speculation than with the assistance of an exhausted exchequer and an embarrassed Government. Toward& the arrival at this conclusion on the part of the Assembly, the masterly oration of M. DE LASLARTINE—one of the most splendid effusions of his oratorical genius— proved eminently effectual, if it was not, in the ac complishment of that end, altogether, or at least mainly instrumental. By the closeness of its reasoning, as much as by the illuminating and persuasive brilliancy of its illustra tions—a blending of characteristics somewhat unusual in the poetical, and generally speaking, the discursive harangues pronounced by the lips of that illustrious citizen—the speech delivered on the 9th inst. by M. DE LAMARTINE could not fail to appeal directly to the heart, and through the heart to the convictions, —to the intellect, and through the intellect to the judgment of the vast majority of his auditors in the Republican Parliament. It did so. The fruit of his logic was a majority. The result of his oration was a success altogether triumphant. 'What cannot but force itself upon the perception of the many thou sands by whom this magnificent harangue will be perused, is scarcely so much the sound sense impreg nating even the most poetical adornments of M. DB LAMARTINE'S rhetoric—it is scarcely so much the benignant sentiments and the majestic principles by which every sentence is beautified and exalted, as it is the daring evinced throughout by the orator in dragging forth into the glare of discussion the dsrkest and the grimmest phantasms by which the bulk of contemporary statesmen are affrighted. Sometimes it is true that the mind becomes fasci nated by the felicitous grace and exquisite delicacy of the metaphors, and generally also of the phrase ology by which the dry common-place of the theme is dexterously embellished ; as, for example, when the orator exclaims in illustration of the necessity of private speculation for the maintenance of national activity, for the circulation of mo ney, for the encouragement of commerce, and fur the continual employment of the industrial population : " When you wish for rain it is necessary to desire clouds, and the Reservoirs of Industry are to credit and to cash precisely what the clouds are to the rain which nourishes and fructifies the earth F' Yet, charming as are these intermittent testimonies that the orator continues still a poet even when most a statesman, it is by reason of other cha racteristics that our gladness is heated to the glow of admiration. It is at other moments than when M. DE L•AMARTINE is most rhetorical, it is when his voice ascends to the elevated tone of its most im passioned eloquence, rising as it does then from the sonorous depths of his heart, from the profundity of his convictions, and from the fulness of his humane and cultivated imagination, that we listen with the more earnest attention to one whose career hAs been as illustrioua as his character has remained unsullied, Then it is, in those moments of intellectual enthu- siasm, that be grapples with the most dangerous ideas of our generation, and, as we have already expressed it, that he drags into the glare of discussion those sombre and destructive phantoms by which the rest of his contemporaries are dismayed and affrighted. In this circumstance we recognize a moral va lour and audacity worthy of the heroic tri bune who confronted with his unarmed bosom the infuriated rabble of February. "Of what," he inquires in this mood, "is this doctrine of Communism composed ? It is composed of three elements perfectly distinct from each other : it is composed of the veriest chimeras, of doctrines which have been dreamed about during upwards of a thou- sand years, and which have nevertheless been unable to survive three days of realisation ; it is composed, moreover, of certain evil passions which, notwith- standing their malignity, can yet be easily re • pressed by the hand of society ; it is composed in fine, and above all (let this not be forgotten !) of very visible and real idleness, misery, and suffering. Behold the three elements of the social malady by which we are devoured ! Well, gentlemen, as to these evil doctrines, as to these dreams, as to these phantoms, as to these chimeras, do you wish for my opinion ? The more they shall be exposed to the broad daylight of the discussion of the press and of the tribune, the snore - rapidly shall these miasmas evaporate in the surrounding atmosphere of beaven---" [No marvel that those simple but noble words were greeted with acclamations ; no wonder that the orator was encou raged to proceed when he apologised for the necessity of repetition]—" I say, gentlemen, that as to these doctrines I would only introduce them into the light, to dissipate their darkness; for the more facili ties you afford those miasmas to evaporate in the atmosphere of day, the more speedily will those phantoms vanish away from th e gaze of the population. They exist not -by their own valour, permit me to say, but by the terror which they inspire in the minds of men remarkable only for their timidity. Look them boldly in the face and they will all dis appear!" Such are some of the more striking passages in the splendid oration delivered, in the Assembly on Tuesday, by M. DB LAMARTINE— an oration in which he proved that the lightnings of his genius are not less luminous, and the thunders of his eloquence not less impressive, than in the days when he redeemed Vrance from an inundation of bloodshed by his valour, and when, for three months with his bold and untremulous hand upon the helm of the Govern- • went, he guided the vessel of the State through the tempest of the Revolution. Uninfluended by the " three impressive warnings" hey have received within the present week, we still find Minister&anxions to procrastinate and adjourn the consideration ,of necessary reforms. Although admitting the existence of evils requiring legislation, nay, although a particularsubjectatistbhreousgphetciaulndine.r the consideration of Parliament, stance of the Government itself, in which the present system is confessedly erroneous, the matter is coolly adjourned to " some future opportunity," which will probably arrive with "the Greek lialends." When the lion. Gentleman the Member for the county of Limerick offered his valuable suggestion for enlarging the borough constituencies in Ireland, by adopting ti e principle already in force in Scot land and W a le s, and uniting several of the smaller towns, so as to form a respectable body of electors in every case, it was received with great approbation from all sides. , of the House. Never, perhaps, was greater unanimity apparent on any question of Parlia mentary reform The Noble Premier himself attached much weight to the proposition, which then at least seemed perfectly unobjectionable, and he voluntarily , promised that the serious attention of the Govern ment should be directed to the subject. The Re formers were perfectly satisfied with the pledge thus freely given, and no step was taken by independent Members to press for the insertion of clauses embo dying the principle of Mr. BloNsELL's suggestion. The Government bad taken up the subject, and that was all that could be desired. But " 0 cceca mens mortalium," alas for human credulity! the Government have considered the point, and they have decided on— what—on postponing it for an indefinite period, and " carrying the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) Bill through the Legislature in its present form," which, according to Lord JOHN RUSSSELL, will " give the House the opportunity of considering the question in a future session, should it be deemed necessary to raise it again" ! ! ! This is, undoubtedly, a great concession—a most kind and liberal act of condescension on the part of Ministers. '• The House may have the opportunity of considering the question in a future session, should it be deemed necessary to raise it again"! We are really astounded at the gracious permission thus afforded to the chosen representatives of the people. Be good boys, do as you are told—do not torment your rulers by forcing on an inconvenient topic, and you shall actually be allowed to bring it forward at " some future session," that is—for even that unpa ralleled concession could not be made without some qualification—" if it should be" deemed necessary to raise it again. In our innocence we had heretofore'sup posed that any question that " was deemed necessary" might be introduced without the sanction of Minis. tern being first had and obtained. But the First Minister of the Crown appears to think otherwise. 'A Government veto would be exceedingly desirable ; it would prevent the possibility of any disturbance of the balmy and peaceful slumbers of the occupants of the Treasury benches. The complaints of the assistant- surgeons of the Royal Navy might then be treated with contumelious indifference ; the window-tax might still be maintained in all its enormity ; the delays and expenses of law would be perpetuated. Justice would still be a dear luxury, beyond the reach of the less wealthy classes. But will the independent Members be satisfied to bow down before the .Ministerial footstool, and to permit what they believe to be of great importance to the national welfare to b 3 thus shelved. We hope and believe they will not do so. They, too, have learned a valuable lesson since the recess. They have seen the Ministerial phalanx—thirty-two in number—although assisted by all the "waiters on Providence," and seekers after patronage —defeated, decisively and unequivocally defeated by an overwhelming majority of more than two to one. They have at length discovered their real power, and why should they not avail themselves thereof ? If Mr. MONSELL'S suggestion be calculated to benefit the country, if there be really ten boroughs in Ireland with small and inconsiderable constituen cies, why should not adequate means be at once adopted for remedying the acknowledged evil? It is perfectly manifest that the Government will not be more willing to deal with the subject in an enlightened and liberal spirit on any fu ture occasion than at present. There can be no more fitting opportunity. The state of the Irish franchise is before the House and the country. It requires a large and comprehensive measure of re form ; but why should not.tbe'entire question be dii posed of together—why should there be a reform by piecemeal, or petty instalments ? It is true that the Parliamentary Voters Bill has gone through Com mittee, but it may be re-committed. Let Mr. MONSELL himself frame the clauses that may be ne cessary to effectuate his object ; he is perfectly competent for the duty. He will then obtain for himself the honour of the amelioration, to which he is fully entitled. Ministers, through their devotion to the laisser faire policy, have let slip the golden op portunity that was afforded, through the kindness of the Honourable Gentleman, of gaining for themselves the approbation of the Irish and—if the provision were extended to this country—of the English electors. No further indulgence should therefore be shown, and the present Bill should not be read a third time until the deliberate opinion of the House of Commons be taken on the question ; and we doubt not that that opinion would be in accordance with the views of the Honourable Gentleman the Mdmber for the county of Limerick. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—Some misapprehension ap pearing to exist with respect to the payment of the postage of letters for the Papal states, intended to be forwarded by the French Mediterranean packets, it is necessary to state that no portion of the postage upon such letters should be paid in this country, as the entire postage, British and fo reign, is collected on delivery of the letters. BRITISH MUSEUM.—From a return made to the House of Commons, relative to various matters connected withithe British Museum, it appears that all the moneys re ceived by the institution, including various Parliamentary grants, from Christmas, 1848, to- Christmas, 1849, was 50,6121. The estimated expenditure for the 'same period was 50,9091. The actual expenditure was 41,7911. The estimated charge, from Lady-day, 1850, to Lady-day, 1851, is 47,1921. The number of persons visiting the British Museum, from Christmas, 1843, to Christmas, 1844, was 575,754. In every intervening year there was a steady in crease in the number of visitors, until it reached, in the year ending Christmas, 1849, 979,973. In 1810, the number of visits made to the reading-room, for the purposes of study and research, was 1,9,50. The highest number any interven ing year was in 1842, when it was 71,796. Last year it was 70,371. The number of visits made.by artists and students to the galleries of sculpture, for the purposes of study or re search, was 6,804. ROYAL SEA-BATHING INFIRMARY.—The general meeting of this charity took place yesterday, at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill; Mr. Alderman Gibbs in the chair. It appeared from the report that the receipts for the past year had amounted to 2,4011., and the expenditure to 2,1371. The number of patients relieved amounted to 676, besides a considerable number of out-door patients who had been visited. The cause of the present depressed position of this company arose principally from the prevalence of the cholera which had existed amongst them last year to a fearful ex tent. The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business of the day. WINCIIELSEA.—The sagacity of a sheep dog be longing to Mr. Smith, of the Crutches Farm, was strikingly exhibited on the 30th of March. Some suspicion being ex cited by the appearance of a man coining from the direction of the farm-house with a box and a piece of silk, an over looker of the farm, Henry Burtonstock by name, desired his dog to get before him, which the faithful animal did so effec- tually that he was stopped, taken back to the house, and handed over to a policeman for stealing from the promises. He was indicted at the sessions at Lewes on Tuesday, and sentenced to six months' hard labour, except three weeks in sulitary confinement.—Brighton Gazette. WEYMOUTH.—During the past week a number of coins have been picked up or. the Chesil beach by the islanders, some gold and others silver. We were shown some Chinese pieces, which were valued at 30s. each. Some were in excellent preservation, and others are much worn by the constant attrition against the pebbles. The heavy ground seas during the past week have no doubt washed them up. Sher borne Journal. „,, ST.

SADLER'S WELLS TIIEATIIE.—The lessees of this theatre have announced their intention of giving a dramatic representation, in aid of the funds of the Exhibition in 1851, which will be under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. SOCIETY OE ANTIQUARIES.—The auditors' annual report was read last night before the society, by the Right Hon. the Earl of Jertnyn.

This tree ( which is a remarkably fine specimen of the Turkey oak) is upwards of 40 feet high, the trunk is 45 inches in circum ference, and the branches more than 40 yards. It was well rooted, and had what nurserymen term a "good ball" of earth, the weight of the whole being about three tons. No proper apparatus for the removal of the tree could be pro cured, and the attempt was first made by a pair -wheeled timber carriage, but this broke down in the attempt. A regular „ high-wheeled timber carriage was then procured, and by means of triangles and pulley blocks the oak was fairly hoisted and moored. A new difficulty new presented itself; the ground having been recently drained, the wheels sunk deeply into the drains, and it required a stout team to haul the machine and its load on to firm ground. This was at length effected, and, after lashing the branches to prevent the windows from being broken in passing through the streets, the tree reached its destination, and now stands firm in its new location, where we hope it will do well.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. ROBBERIES ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. —ln consequence'of repeated complaints made to the authorities on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway of robberies of goods and of the breaking open of packages and abstraction of the contents, the management instituted an inquiry, but nothing was discovered which could fit suspi- • cion on aoy of th e 1 ; op l e emp l oyed on the railway. Circum stances have, however, recently occurred, which have brought to light the guilt of a man named Bayle, a servant in the truck department, and -of another man named Smith, the manager in the same department. A search was made ha their houses, and large quantities of property missed were discovered and identified. The police are still prosecuting their search, and it is supposed that much more property will be regained. The confidence that Iva placed in these men, and the opportunity afforded them from the positions they held on the railway, have enabled them to commit their depredations with great facility and without distrust. They have been sent to prison, and are waiting their examination before a court of justice. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER 10 THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yest4. , rday were e.•ti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for expert, and 2,500 American and 1,500 Bahia on speculation. The tnarket closed firmly with an t;p ward tendency in prices.—Railway Shares were dull and heavy, with' but little alteration in prices. The Corn-trade in Mark-lane is exceedingly dull again to-day, and foreign Wheat is lower. The arrivals of foreign Wheat are 19.980 quarters; of Barley, 12,660 quarters; and of Oats, 47,280 quarters. This week the transactions in produce have not been of magnitude, and although a large quantity of Sugar &c., has been submitted to public competition, this has not stimulated business, but rather induced buyers to hold back, unless some concession in price were made. The result has been a decline in the leading staples, and from the exceedingly numerous arrivals within the last three or four days, including vessels from all parts, and laden with Grain, Sugar, and every principal article, a rally in price is scarcely looked for, except in spec,al cases. Certai❑ commodities used for manufacturing purposes here been more inquired after within the last few dap, and apparently in expectation that the slight revival of activity iu Lancashire and Yorkshire may con- tinue. The foreign arrivals comprise only the usual Conti nental mails. The Bank of the Pays Has has declared a dividend of 3 per cent. The funds at Amsterdam were tolerably animated on the 10th inst., but the tendency of prices was slightly to decline. Spanish Bonds were lively. Peruvian were decidedly lower. At Frank fort, on the 9th inst., Austrian Bonds were 79i, and Spanish Three per Cents 301. The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday last brings the rate of exchange at 13 9, being I lower. Bills on London were in request. The meeting of Mexican bondholders is now in pro gress, and the following explanation of the cause of the rupture and virtual dissolution of the new committee, to be succeeded, it is hoped, by a much stronger body, though it can hardly be by one that has worked harder, and accomplished more within the time, is given by the seceder, M. Gutdalla:— .. Gentlemen,—Observing that the second report of the committee of Mexican bondholders contains no allu sion whatever to my resignation, nor to the subject matter which led to i', I think it proper, in justice to myself, to address yon thereon, prior to the public meet ing,3ou may be i n p ossess i on o f t h e s a e t . Some tim e b ac k, M r . F ranc i s Mills, one of my colle agues, f ee li ng di ssat i sf i ed at the non, ratification of t h e R o b ertson convent i on, facs in of order the e t e that up to that period, brought under the notice of the board the propriety cf taking acme immediate steps to secure, by legal proceedings in the United States, a portion or the s,ehole of the indemnity money still due by that country to Mexico. The board authorized that gentle mare'in conjunction with Mr. A. B. Richmond (to whom the bondholders are much indebted for the zealous aid he has always afforded them in his public and private capacity), to consult Mr. Hoffman, an American barrister of first-rate standing in this country and well versed in international law. After numerous inter views, a course cf action was recommended to be adopted, the main point of which consisted in a sugges tion to send, without loss of time, an envoy to New York, with a memorial to his Excellency the President of the United States, from the bondholders, a copy cf which is annexed, in order to intercept, it possible, that portion of the indemnity money which is due on the Ist of May next to Mexico. This measure was ap proved of by all the members of the board, except the chairman, Mr. William P. Robertson, and he did not give a decided negative to it at first but requested that the public meeting, necessary for a decision on the subject, might be postponed till after the arrival of the West India packet, which was expected at Southampton on the 25th March, as he anticipated some favourable intelligence might come by it, which would render the meeting unnecessary. Such however not being the case, on Thursday, the 28th March, the committee was convened for the purpose of deciding on which day it would be advisable to call a public meeting. Having taken a decided tone throughout all the discussions relative to the me morial, I deputed Captain Ross (being unaviodably ab sent), should the que:tion come to a division, to vote for me in favour of calling the meeting on the Ist of April, being the latest day to which it could be post poned, as it was necessary that the envoy should sail in- the packet of the sth inst. for New York. Not having been present on the occasion, I cannot give per sonally an account of the proceedings; but I hear from indisputable authority that a warm discussion ensued, in the course of which the chairman, who stood alone in his opinion, threatened to resign in care the question was decided in the affirmative. Nevertheless a resolution was carried, ordering the advertisement for the meeting to be inserted in Saturday morning's paper. When I came to town on Saturday morning, believing that the chairman and secretary had exceeded their powers in keeping back the advertisement, I de termined' to resign ; and I requested Mr. A. B. Richmond to communicate verbally that from that time, Saturday, 30th March, I ceased to be a member of the board, feeling I had no other course to pursue under the circumstances. It must be evident to you that a board, constituted like the present, ought to be the last to assume to itself the deciding affirmatively or nega tively questions of such momentous interest to the bond holders without previously consulting them. "After these brief remarks, I have only to add a few words in conclusion. Being one of the principal parties who effected to successfully the recent movement, I beg to say I have no wish to retire permanently from the m a n agement of your affairs; on the contrary, I shall feel proud to continue zealously those humble services I have afforded you since my election in January last, should you consider them entitled to your approbation. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " April 11, 1850." " H. GITEDALLA.” The Funds have been flat again, and it would appear that the account is not yet wholly arranged, and that the uncertainty about the result of the further trial of NH nisterial strength checks operations for the rise, and has even icduced some few sales of real stock. Consols have been 951 to 96 for Transfer, and 95j to 96i for Ac count. The New Three -and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 97 to 97k, and the Three per Cents. 941 to 9.51.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, since Monday, having been on the increase, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, the supply of that grain on offer, this morning, was tolerably extensive, and of full average quality. Owing to the thin attendance of buyers, and the pressure of Foreign Grain and Flour, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled exceedingly heavy, at barely stationary prices. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week. The demand was wholly in retail, and, to effect large sales, is per quarter less money must have been accepted by the impotters. The supply of home-grown Barley was small, that of foreign large. Moat kinds moved off slowly at last week's currencies. Malt—the show cf which was good— ruled dull in the extreme, at barely late rates. Nut less than 47.280 quarters of foreign Oats have been im ported this week ; but the arrivals of English are small. The Oat trade is as heavy, and prices gave way 6d. per quarter. Beans, Poise, Indian Corn, and Flour were offering at drooping currencies. ARRIVALS THIS WEER Wheat. Barlei. .1 Oats.

For the time of year, the supply of Beasts on tale in to-day's mar!tet was very limited, and of but middling quality. Although the dead markets were scantily sup plied, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday—the highest figure for the best Scots not exceeding 3s 4d per 81bs. The numbers of Sheep were slightly on the increase; yet the demand for that description of stock was tolerably steady, and the quotations were fairly supported. There was more inquiry for Lambs, the supply of which was moderate; but we have no improve malt to notice in value, the extreme curreccy being 5s 8 d per 81bs. Calves met a very dull sale, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, next to nothing doing. Milch Cows sold heavily, at from 141 to 181 each,..including their small calf.

The stock of Lemons being reduced to a small quantity, prices are well sustained. The bulk of Barcelona Nuts now being held in one hand, and refusing to sell at the present figure, are withdrawn from the market until a higher price can be realised. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. JAMES.) FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—JACOBS V. SEAGRAM This was an action to recover damages for fuse im prisonment. Defendant had suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. RoIaINSON stated the case for the plaintiff, who has been for many years in the service of Mr. Howard, ono of the Common Councilmen. Defendant is a soda water manufacturer, in Maze-pond, Borough. In the afternoon of the 22d February last defendant was near the Bridge-house Hotel, in the Borough, where a crowd had collected round a drunken man, and defendant stopped and had his pocket picked of his handkerchief, and suspecting the plaintiff, followed him over the bridge and gave him into custody of a City policeman; but In spector Torrens considered the charge to be groundless, and would not have detained the plaintiff but defendant persisting in the charge, the inspector sent the case over to Southwark, but at the same time told the officer to inform the inspector that there did not appear to be any ground for the charge. Defendant accompanied the officer a short distance on the road back, and then aban doned the charge. The jury gave a verdict for 51. SCOTT V. HENCHMAN. This was an inquiry under a special capias utlagatum t) ascertain of what property defendant, who has been outlawed, was posses od, in the city of London. The writ was directed to Messrs. Whittle and: Hil yard, and it was alleged that defendant was in possession of property in the Bell's Weehy Messenger office, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, but this was negatived by Mr. Davies, a clerk in the establishment, and a return was made to that Effect. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FAKE.) IN RE BRADING. This bankrupt, who is proprietor of the Albert Sa- loon, this day attended to consent to a Sat issued against hire. It will perhaps be remembered that not long since a former fiat was superseded, on his undertaking to pay a certain sum annually, which he found himself' unable to do. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE and Mr. Baron PLATT.) FORGERY.-- Wm. Baxter, aged 18, and described as a gunefinisher, was placed in the dock, indicted with feloniously uttering a forged note for 51, with intent to defraud the governor and company of the Back of England. Mr. CLARKSON, in stating the case to the jury, said this prosecution had been instituted by the Bank of England, not only for their own protection, but for the purpose of preventing the commission of frauds upon tradesmen, and also preventing innocent parties becoming the in strument through which forged notes might be passed; and when guilty parties were discovered, iv was neces sary they should be visited with such a degree of punishment as to deter others from following their ex ample. The prisoner was charged with forging a Si. note, was under 20 years of age, and was a native of Birmingham, and had, up to the time of his apprehen. sion, resided with his father, who kept a public-house at 296, Kent -street, Borough. It appeared that on the 27th of February last, about noon, he found his way to a public•house belonging to a Mr. Compton, known as the Crown, in the Edgware road. He was alone, and had with him a carpet bag. He wore a rough overcoat, and underneatla it a green Newmarket one. On entering he called for a glass of sherry and cigar, which were sup plied to him, and he tendered a 5/. note in payment. The landlord inspected the note, and his impression was so strong that it was a - bad one that he refused to give change. The prisoner replied, " Oh! it is of no conse quence, I know the person from whom I got it." The landlord, however, thought it right to give him into cus tody, upon which the prisoner exclaimed, " You shall suffer for this." The account he gave of himself was that he had just come by the rail from Birmingham, but he afterwards said he had not been there for 11 3ears. He also said he resided at 196, Kent-street, Borough, but on itquiry he was not known there. The note had written upon it, " Mr. Ellison, 6, Spring gardens, Charing-cross," who was the person from whom the prisoner atti rwards said he had received the note, but no such person had ever resided at the address. It was just possible that this note might have innocently fallen into the hands of the accused; but besides the false epresentations which he bad made, there was another circumstance which tended to confirm his guilt. On the day previous to the occurrence he had just detailed, viz., on the 26th, the prisoner went about nine o'clock on the evening to the Marquis of Cornwallis public-house, in Marchm ont-street, Brunswick square, in company with a servant girl, named Emma Fipple, who was in the habit of fetching beer for the family. He requested to be supplied with two glasses of port-wine, and asked for change for a 5/. note, but as the landlord, Mr. Dale, had no cash by him, he sent lids pot-boy to a neigh bour's to get it changed. The prisoner had with him identically the same carpet-bag which was taken from him at the station-house. The instant the parties received change they left the house, but Mr. Dale soon discovered that he had been the means of passing a bad note upon his neighbour. The bank authorities had made inquires respecting the girl, and they had reaso❑ to believe that she was an accomplice, but in order that the counsel for the defence might not complain of the omission of important evidence, she would be brought forward as a witness. These were the facts of the case, and it was clear that the Bank of Fngland would neither have done justice to themselves or to the public if they had not instituted a prosecution agairst the prisoner. Several witnesses were then called, whose evidence corroborated the facts detailed by the Learned Counsel. A person from the Bank of England stated that both the notes ware forgeries, in respect of paper, plate, and sigLa'ure. There was no water-mark upon them, but a resemblance to it had been obtained by pressure, instead of by a process in the manufacture of the paper. Mr. PAYNE, on the part of the defence, contended that no guilty knowledge of the forgery had been proved against the prisoner. Mr. Justice ERLE having summed up, The jury found the prisoner guilty, and ho was sen tented to transportation for fifteen years. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Frious.) Roam STEALING. —James Simpson, aged 23, de scribed in the calendar as a draper, was indicted with stealing, on the 26th of July last, a horse and cart, of the value cf lel., the property of John Francis. From the statements of the prosecutor and other witnesses, it up peered that on the 26th of July last the prisoner went to the house of the prosecutor, in Hart-street, Bethnal green, and stated that he wanted a horse and chaise -cart for about two hours, for a person named Howell; the prosecutor sent his man with the prisoner and the horse and cart, they stopped at the house of a person named Howell, the prisoner got out, and appearing to go into the house, the prosecutor's man thought all was right, and got out of the cart. The prisoner then drove off, and was never heard of till he was taken into custody last month for stealing ducks at Tottenham. It ap peared also that the prisoner ultimately sold the horse :.,nd chaise to a person at Luton, in Bedfordshire, for 5/. Is. The jury convicted the prisoner. The RECORDER, after expressing a doubt as to whe ther be ought not to transport the prisoner for fifteen years. sentenced him to two years' imprisonment and bard labour in the House of Correction. Shortly after the prisoner had been sentenced a letter was sent to the Recorder, culling upon him to have two cf the witnesses prosteuted, one for perjur e and the other as a receiver of s t o l en goods. The Recorder, directed the party who h a d b rought the letter to be placed in the witness box, and shortly afterwards a respectable-look ing female, who had been one of the witnesses to the prisoner's character, appeared in the box. The RECORDER, addressing her, said that if the com munication she 1 . a:1 made to him was in the hope that he would mitigate the sentence, shu was very much de ceived; and if any commun i patiou was ma d e to him from the office of the Secretary of State, he should at once state th a t if t h e C ourt ha d ma d e any mistake, it was in not transporting the prisoner. Joseph Hunter, 22, a respectable•looking young man, described in tho calendar as a I?,w writer , pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing 18 sovereigns, 3 ha'f-sovereigns, 1 crown, 1 half-crown, 15 ( and nearly 10,000 bags sold at 37s'to 39s for fine and good yellow, at 34s to 355 for low, at 32s to 34s for mid to floe brown, and at 34s to 33s for low to fiat.. grey.
