aw of supply and demand, and its price be fixed as it now is, does it not inevitably follow that all prices, whe ther of commodities or of labour, must be regulatei thereby ; and is not the certain consequence of gold being fixed at the low price of 31. 17s. loid. per ounce, the price it bore before taxation was so largely imposed, that the present low and unremunerating prices for com modities and labour in this highly-taxed country are to be attributed ? Th e Committee deem the prosperity and happiness of the labouring classes of the United Kingdom and its de pendencies, especially Scotland and Ireland, at the pre sent moment, to be so much involved in the issue, that they offer to appoint three gentlemen to meet Messrs. Cobden, Villiers, and Bright, on behalf of the Council, to discuss any point of difference that may arise. They propose that it shall be competent for each party to in troduce twelve other gentlemen to be present at the dis cussion, and that reporters, mu t ua lly agreed on, and at joint expense, shall be employed with the understanding that an authorised report of the proceedings shall forth with be published.—l have the honour to remain, Gen tlemen, your very obedient servant, (Signed) ALEX.

Charles Goodwin Bateman, Esq. The objects of this undertaking are to unite the Bristol with the English Channel, and to afford a direct, speedy, and cheap communi cation between the three centres of populatim in Devonshire, :viz., Bideford and Barnstaple on the north, Plymouth and Devonport on the south, and Exeter on the east ; and to supply to the inhabitants of the districts through which the lines of Railway will pass the advantages of manure, coals, and general merchandise, at an im mense reduction of cost, and the means of conveying their agricul tural produce, timber, and other goods to the best markets. The Railway is intended to commence at the Town and Port of Bideford, and to proceed by the town of Okehampton to the Borough of Tavistock, where it is to communicate with the branch of the South-Devon Railway, which is to be made from Plymouth, and for which a Bill is now before Parliament. A branch will connect the populous and flourishing Borough of Barnstaple with the main line, and another branch will pass from the main line through Bow, and join the Exeter and Crediton Line at Crediton. The length of the main line will be about forty-two miles, and of the branches about twenty-three miles, making together sixty-five miles. Estimates of the traffic have been prepared by competent parties, and the result is, that, after allowing a deduction of forty per cent. for the working expenses, the net returns are calculated to amount to more than six per cent. per aunurn on the required capital, without taking into account several future sources of income which the Rail way will create. The Port of Bideford, on the Bristol Channel, which has been se lected for the commencement of the Railway, already possesses a large and increasing trade. Its imports of limestone, culm ' coals, and iron Nan Wales are very considerable ; whilst there are also large imports of foreign timber, and general merchandise from more distant parts, and exports of potters' clay, agricultural produce, &c. At the other end of the line are the important towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, with the Naval Arsenals, and a population (includ ing their suburbs) of 100,000 inhabitants, dependent, in part, for their supplies on the district through which the railway will pass. The intermediate towns of Torrington, Okehampton, and Tavistock are the centres and markets of large agricultural districts, the produce of which will be greatly enhanced by the abundant and cheap supply of lime which this railway will afford. Between Torrington and Okehampton there are almost inexhausti ble beds of potters' clay and pipe clay, large quantities of which are now sent to Bideford, for exportation to Liverpool and other places ; and those quantities would be very greatly increased by this cheap medium of conveyance. Great facilities would also be thus afforded for the transport of the valuable timber which abounds on the banks of the River Torridge, and which can at present scarcely be brought to market on account of the expense of conveyance. In the neighbourhood of Okehampton, and extending towards Tavistock and Launceston, are extensive beds of limestone and numerous lime-kilns, which will receive their supplies of culm by this railway from Bideford ; and from those lime-kilns, as well as from Bideford, the whole district can be well supplied with lime, which is almost the only manure used by the agriculturists in the neighbourhood. There are also valuable slate quarries and mines of copper ore, manganese, &c., the products of which will be thus conveyed for exportation. About three miles from Okehampton, and near the proposed line are granite torrs or hills of great value, the granite being nearly white in colour, and capable of receiving a high polish. Nothing but this Railway is wanting to enable parties to export many thousands of tons of this beautiful material for Lon don and elsewhere. Many parts of the district, particularly the neighbourhood of Oke hampton, possess advantages for the employment of capital, which this Railway will tend to call into action, there being inexhaustible powers of water for propelling machinery, which have been hitherto unemployed from the want of communication with the sea. The woollen trade is already partially carried on in the neighbourhood of Okehampton ; but a very great extension of its operations may be fully anticipated, when a facility of intercourse is obtained. The branch to Crediton will open, by means of the Exeter and Crediton Railway, a communication between the northern and western parts of the county and Exeter, where the assizes and ses sions are held, and the chief public business of the county is trans acted, and from whence passengers can proceed by railway to Bristol, London, and the north of England, as well as to the much frequented watering-places of Dawlish, Teignmouth, and Torquay. The great importance of this railway to the landholders and general population in the central parts of the county through which the line will pass, will appear from the fact, that the price of lime will be re duced to them 40 per cent., and of coal 50 per cent. The local population which would be benefited by the construction of this railway exceeds three hundred thousand persons. The Railway may be justly regarded as not merely a county, but a national undertaking, as it will tend to shorten and facilitate the communication between the great naval port of Plymouth and the southern shores and central and eastern districts of Devonshire with Ireland and Wales ; the distance by sea from Bideford to Swansea being not more than forty-two miles. When the South-Wales Railway is constructed, travellers may go from the south of Devon to Bideford by this Railway, cross from thence to Swansea by steam-packets, and:proceed by the former Railway to Fishguard (where a great Irish packet-station is to be established), and to Pembroke Dockyard and Milford Haven. The country through which this line of Railway will pass is pecu liarly favourable in an engineering point of view for its construction. The surveys will be forthwith completed by the Company's Engineers, who are well acquainted with the district, having surveyed the country in. 1831 and 1832, and who are confident, from long expe rience, that the proposed capital will be amply sufficient for the con struction of the Railway, which is intended to be a single track of rails, of the same gauge as the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Railways, with sidings or passing places at the sta tions, and a double track on part of the main trunk. The landowners on the line are extremely favourable to the pro ject and are anxious to have a railway communication opened,whieh is calculated so materially to benefit their estates ; many of them have already signified their intentions of beeoming Shareholders in this Company. In the allotment of the shares preference will, of course, be given to parties who have a local interest in the under taking. Power is intended to be reserved in the Act of Parliament, which is to be obtained for making this Railway, to allow Interest on the deposits and calls paid on the shares, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, until the opening of the whole line. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of his shares. The Prospectus and the Form of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Solicitor, Local Agents, or Secretary. Applications for shares to be forwarded to the Solicitor, 30, Basing hall-street, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To the Provisional Committee of the Bideford and Tavistoek Rail way Company. Gentlemen, I request that you will allot to me Shares in the above Company ; and I hereby undertake to accept the same, or such less number as may be allotted to me, and to pay the Deposit thereon ; and a'so to execute the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when called upon so to do.

If the real sentimentsof the American people were to be collected from the tone adopted by that portion of their newspaper press which assumes to represent the democratic principle of the federal constitution, we should be compelled to conclude that the entire population of the Union supported the President's policy on the Oregon and the Texas questions, and were for immediate war at all hazards with Great Britain. But the Commercial Advertiser has cau tioned us against being misled by the " angry talk" of its compatriot newspapers. It assures us that "it is a great mistake to suppose that the deep-rooted and operative sentiments of . countries like Great Britain or the United States are habitually expressed by their fluent orators and writers." It is very true that the Commercial Advertiser speaks with equal disparage ment of the relation which the declarations of the English press bear to the national sentiment. Having a very clear conviction, in common with ninety-nine out of one hundred men in the United Kingdom, of the fallacy of this latter opinion, we are content to leave it where we find it. But we have now before us the most signal evidence to the general correctness of the assumption in respect of the democratic press of the States, in an article published in the New Yorh _Herald, which, for insolent mendacity, gross ignorance, presumption, and folly, we have never seen equalled in the most transcendent flights of Yankee journalism. The blustering arro gance of this journalist passes, we suppose, for some thing extremely forcible and impressive with its very extensive body of readers, for an extensive body we believe them to be. But it impresses an Englishman with a very humble idea of the average intelligence, or the good sense of the public, to find it possible that they can endure, and even sanction, such pitiful attempts at intimidating the greatest nation of the earth, by noisy bullying and ridiculous bravado. With regard to the Orern question, there is one consideration that we cannot too strongly impress upon the attention of our readers. To the evils of war, in the abstract, we assume that no honest man at this time of day can be so insensible as not to deprecate their resuscitation to the last moment that it can be avoided, as the most fatal of moral and social afflictions that retard the progress of human improvement. In a war between America and England there must necessarily be the super added aggravations that attach to all contests between cognate races, speaking one and the same language, and living under laws and usages derived from one common stock. Next to a civil war, a war between two states standing in such relation to each other involves perhaps the greatest collision of kindred interests, and habits, and associa- tions. Entertaining these views, we shall not be sup- posed to undervalue by one iota the gravity of such a catastrophe as a war with the United States. We speak of it with a full appreciation of its responsi bilities, its liabilities, and its tendencies. We bear in mind the circumstances that must make such a war one of intense and exterminating animosities as long as it shall last. All this, however, conceded, we cannot too much depricate the illogical and unstates manlike argument that we see occasionally suggested in English as well as American papers, founded on the comparative worthlessness and remoteness of the Oregon territory. It would be easy for us to show that so far as regards the territorial worth of the Oregon, this argument is based on deficient or inac curate information as to the geography and statistics of that region. So far as regards its remoteness the argument proceeds on a total oversight of the numerous and growing relations of the Oregon with other territories, the development of which may be calculated on any day to precipitate hostilities. Now, since it is apparent, upon authority which all the sub terfuges of Mr. GREENHOW or Mr. PoLx. can no more shake than they could have shaken the intrepi- dity of VANCOUVER and other British discoverers on that coast, that all the rights of prior discovery and legal possession—taking, in the first instance, and of subsequent occupation—de facto, are in our favour ; since the rights acquired under these titles by British subjects have been largely improved to the advan tage of British commerce and the extension of Bri tish influence; since they have become the objects of especial recognition and protection in treaties exe cuted between this country and other independent powers; since the actual British proprietary on the soil, holding immediately under the English Crown, is an association—the North West Company, which now incorporates in its own constitution the still more ancient rights of the Hudson's Bay Company ; since this proprietary is established under a royal charter, conceived in the most express and specific terms, and granted by the SOVEREIGN of these realms;—on all these accounts, the value or the worthlessness of the Oregon is absolutely beside the question. We have solemnly affirmed our claim. The antagonist claim of the United States has been as solemnly and unconditionally repudiated by the Prime Minister in Parliament, with the concurrence of all parties in the Legislature. Therefore, the national honour is now distinctly corn mitted to the vindication of our title to the Oregon. It cannot be compromised. Were it the most worth less property in the world, such, for example, as a money bond, or any other undertaking, to pay upon honour of the Federal Government or of one of the States—a Pennsylvanian bond or National States Bank debenture ; if we had once taken this tone and attitude upon it, we could not possibly recede from that position. For ourselves, we have little doubt that the steady maintenance of that position will pre clude all necessity for ulterior demonstrations. If the Government of the United States, contemptible as it is in respect of any power of independent decision or action, could really be insane enough to provoke in the present dilapidated condition of its material forces of its army, its navy, its forts, the exposed posi tion of its principal cities and towns on its Atlantic sea board, and at the certain risk of bringing upon the coasts of its southern and its western States a servile war, waged by the free blacks of St. Domingo and the British West India Islands, reinforced by their emancipated brethren of Cuba and the cruelly used slave races of Georgia, Ala bama, and the Carolinas. There are yet other eisabilities pressing upon America, which must incapacitate her, or paralyse her powers of re sistance. An influence to which her utilitarian spirit will be far more susceptible, we opine, than to suggestions of moral justice, or national dignity, is sapping, if we may credit the American papers, the foundation of her political existence. Bankruptcy appears to be fast gaining ground from the ex tremities to the heart of the Union. • A paper says :—" The interest upon the funded debt of the Commonwealth, in August, will not be paid. That you may rely on. It is utterly impossible under existing circumstances,' says a prominent Member of the House." This is, to say the least of it, a graceful attitude to assume at the commencement of a struggle in which the wealthiest and most powerful empire of the Old World is to be defied! But it is an exquisite commentary on the balderdash of the New York Herald, which reasons on the rhodomoutades of Irish agitation excitement in Dublin, as if they were all Gospel truths, or calculated to scare one English bosom, the resolution of which has once been formed, on a question of national honour, and sym pathies, such as that of the Oregon. But here we pause. It is by no means our intention to do the New York Bobadil the honour of repeating his miserable little barkings at British greatness. Is there any one of our readers who has a definite matured idea of the office, functions, and jurisdiction of a Stipendiary Magistrate ? A magistrate of our police courts, we mean, under the organisation of a recent Act of Parliament ? We are so utterly at a loss upon these subjects ourselves—after perusing our reporter's statement of certain proceedings before Mr. BOND, of the Queen-square Police-office—that we shall be glad to receive some of those new lights that seem to be illuminating other minds on subjects, our own views of which appear to have become utterly anti quated. If Mr. BOND be right in his conceptions of a Police Magistrate's duty, we must be extravagantly wrong. If we are correct in our views of the end and objects of a Police Magistrate's appointment, Mr. BOND might as well have been sitting at the foot of the Cadi of Bagdad as at Queen-square, for any purposes of redress or aid to be afforded to the QUEEN'S lieges i n Westminster. Mr. DuNN, a barrister—whose name, we take it, is not unfamiliar to the readers of Police reports, in connexion with some by-gone passages of " ill-starred hopes,"—presents himself before Mr. BOND. He com plains that for a long time past he has been annoyed by a person in plain clothes (who enters the office with him), and whom he believes to be a constable : that this man has long been in the habit of dogging the complainant by following him from the moment of his quitting his lodg ings till his return, through every street, square, or alley he might happen to traverse ; that complainant had tested the fact of this being an intended watch upon him and his actions, by purposely taking very short and ab rupt turnings ; still the " mysterious stranger" was at his heels, inevitable as a tax-collector, persevering as a dun, ugly as an evil ccnscicnce. Mr. Dunn wished to know whether this person was one of the officers attached to the Queen -square establishment, and Mr. BOND an swered in the negative. Then he very naturally asks the magistrate if he will take his charge against the police man of following him with intent to commit a felony. Has he no case on which to found such a charge? He was seen constantly watching his house when he is at home— when he goes abroad, out starts this Argus from some neighbouring public-house, and sticks to his skirts the live-long day, let him go where he will. Surely Mr. DUNN is amply justified in describing this as an " un warrantable and illegal annoyance." What if Mr. Dunn's eccentricities have brought him, ere this, into notoriety, in consequence of some affair of the heart—if we recollect the matter at all ? Is that any reason for his being put under a surveillance more rigorous than a French loyalist had to encounter in Paris, through the various phases of the Revolution? Does the Home Secretary's system of Post-office eaves-dropping extend to the Permission of this clearly " illegal and unconstitutional" practice, known only at this day to the most despotic of European Governments ? Is there any criminal record, any conviction for felony extant against Mr. DUNK, that he should be put out of the pale of that common-law protection which shelters every free-born Englishman, not labouring under such disabilities, from all nuisances of this vexatious and insulting nature? Let us see how this case stands.—Mr. BOND refuses to interf e re with the accused, or even e b s je t c l t at him he h to as a f n or e a xa l m on in g a t t i i m on e , t a o lle s g u . gentleman to an p • l 'll st en be a en the tntolel Ws persecution of being perpetually followed and watched by the same party. Why does the magis trate refuse ? Because the complaint is groundless? Not at all. Because the accused denies the charge of Mr. DuNN ? On the contrary, he does not attempt to dis prove or gainsay it. " I believe this man," says Mr. DUNN, " intends to commit a felony upon me. Will you take my eharge ?" Mr. BOND does not refuse because he doubts the fact—because there is no case—because there is no probable ground to proceed upon—but be cause this ESCOTT—of course, letter and figure—is a police constable. " I have nothing whatever to do, Sir," says Mr. BOND, " with regard to the management of the police." What of that? Has he no cognizance to take of offenders, policemen or not ? If the constable mis conducts himself (he adds) or any complaint is lodged against him, he must be taken before the Com missioners of the Police, who, "if they saw occasion," would.order the constable to be brought before him, to be dealt with according to law. But what if they should not " see occasion ?" Now, among the very numerous charges of delinquency which from time to time are brought against "officers of that force" at criminal as sizes,—we have seen several of personal outrages ad duced, and in several instances established. Suppose other Magistrates had held the same opinions as Mr. BOND, how would those culprits have ever been committed ? Does Mr. BOND imagine that he is administering justice in the name of the QUEEN'S Majesty, or of the Commissioners of the Police ? And does he seriously imagine that any man in his senses will submit to carry his complaint against a policeman for an assault or an annoyance, or a suspicion of felo nious intent, before the Scotland-yard Commis sioners in the first place, to be remitted to the proper tribunal in the second, only in the event of these Commissioners, forsooth, " seeing occa sion" for it ? We are really sick of the ridiculous pretensions and vagaries of the police constabulary on many recent occasions. But, for Heaven's sake, let the Commissioners stick to their drillings and reports, and marchings and counter-marchings, without presuming to interfere between the subjects of the QUEEN and their remedy against any members of a paid constabulary who may have acted illegally towards them. We entirely coincide in Mr. DUNN'S opinion of his own case :—The conduct of the constable has been illegal (unless, in deed, he have a pocket warrant from the Home Secretary) and though we should deprecate all extreme measures, we should not particularly lament if such intolerable and suspicious intrusion on any Englishman's privacy had been summarily chastised in the person of a policeman in plain clothes, whose actions dust really have borne so felonious an aspect. Mr. BOND was bound, at all events to hear the charge; but he seems to have been impressed with as reverential an awe for the aristocratic majesty of the Police Commissioners, as the Inspector FORBES himself ; from whose refusal to listen to Mr. DUNK pre viously, he seems indeed to have taken his own cue. Madrid journals of the 4th inst. have been received. The Chamber of Deputies had adopted by a large majority a resolution authorising the Government to regulate the public debt. During the discussion which took place the Minister of Finance said there was no in tention either to raise a new loan or increase the taxes. The interest of the debt was large, amounting to 330,000,000 teals (3,300,0001.), but ,Spain had ample means to meet all her engagements, provided she be well governed, and the resources at her disposal be pro perly applied. The Chamber was to take into consideration on the sth inst. the project of law lately presented by the Minister of the Interior, authorising him to negotiate a loan of 15,000,000 reels, to be applied to the construe tion of roads. The Three per Cents. closed at 34i for cash, and 315 i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 251 at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest, at 8 13-16 at 60 days. The Bill for arming the fortifications of Paris has been adopted in the Chamber of Deputies, by a ma jority of 227 to 131—majority, 96. The clause for depositing the artillery in the town of Bourges, not to be removed but in the event of war, was agreed top with the consent of the Government. The affair is thus settled to the satisfaction apparently of all parties, with the exception, perhaps, of the Marquis DE LA R OCHEJAQUELIN, and a few other Legitimatists. In reference to this Bill, the Journal des Debats makes these remarks :—" Every ene is agreed as to two points —first, that in time of peace the fortifications of Paris should not be armed ; and, secondly, that in order to quiet every apprehension, the artillery to be employed on the fortifications should not be placed too near the capital. Marshal SoULT, President of the Council, when he introduced the Bill, at present before the Chamber, designated Bourges as the town in which it was proposed to deposit the artillery and military stores. The Committee on the Bill has after ma ture reflection proposed, by an additional clause, that the artillery and military stores intended for the fortifica tions of Paris Allan be deposited at Bourges, and shall not be transported to Paris except in case of war. M. BETIDT.ONT by his amendment required that the artillery shoAdd not be removed to Paris except' by virtue of a special law. We candidly confess that we find no essential difference between M. BETHDIONT'S amend ment and the clause proposed by the Committee. The guarantee is the same. The Bill having: declared that artillery cannot be transported to Paris except in case of war, suppose that a Minister was so audacious as to violate the clause of the Bill, and to arm the fortificationsor under a prete,c.t of war, of peace, or the Chambers be at hand? be serio us ly asserte d that in n o t rAe an sally l i y n cs timeeanserious, u it sp order to encompass Paris with cannon a Ministry would violate the constitution ? But it is manifest that a Mi nistry which would be capable of making such an attack on the fundamental law of the kingdom, on the Cham bers, and on the entire nation, would not be arrested by a clause in a Bill. Whether the law shall so declare it or not, the period at which the fortifications of Paris should be armed will ever be a Parliamentary question as long as there shall exist in France a constitution. The charter does not declare that the Chambers shall discuss questions of peace and war. It says apparently the contrary. It declares that the KING may declare war and conclude treaties of peace ; and still a single example cannot be given of the KING having declared war or signed a peace without the intervention of the Chambers. It is not solely because treaties of peace, like declarations of war, almost always induce a vote for supplies—it is because Ministers are responsible for every act of the KING, and; that as a last result every • act must be discussed at the tribune." According to the Revue de Paris, a grand congress of kings and queens will take place at Paris in the course of the ensuing summer. That journal says : " The report that several crowned heads are soon to arrive at Paris is daily more and more confirmed. Well informed persons affirm that this meeting of constitutional' sovereigns will take place in July. The illustrious p ersonages w h o are to be the guests of the King of the French are the Queen of England, the young Queen of Spain, the King and Queen of Naples, and the King of Holland. Louis Philippe and his family will do those several sovereigns the honours of France and Paris. The Duke and Duchess de Nemours will go and meet her Britannic Majesty, who will first arrive ; the Prince de Joinville will repair to the frontier of Spain in order to re ceive the young Queen of that country ; the Duke d'Aitmale' will proceed to Marseilles and receive his uncle, the King of _Naples; and the Duke de Montpensier will receive the King of Holland, who will come by sea, and land at Dunkirk. In order to give a suitable reception to those august visitors, the apartments formerly occupied at the Louvre by Henry IV. will bo, in addition to the Tuileries, thoroughly repaired and sumptuously furnished." The Journal des Debats publishes extracts from let ters received from Macao, announcing that there is a probability of the revocation of the law in China against the propagation of the Christian religion, but we can place no confidence in the accounts transmitted to that journal from China, for they are generally either mere rumours or some fictions of the writer. The following is the statement : " We have received letters from Macao containing intel ligence which, if it be confirmed, will produce a lively sensa tion in Europe, and do great honour to the French mission in China. It is nothing less than the abolition of the religious edicts which forbids the Chinese to embrace and practise Christianity. We know that these, edicts, after having been revoked under the reign of the Emperor Khan Hi, were again brought into force,Zabout a century ago, on the advice of the Tribunal of Rites; and, until these latter times, at least, have been put into execution by the Chinese magistrates with the utmost rigour. Thus Christianity has found a double ob stacle to its introduction into the middle empire ; for, on one hand, were the laws which interdicted foreigners from penetrating into the interior of the empire ; and, on the other hand, the Chinese who, if left to themselves, would be inclined to embrace the religion of the Gospel, are restrained by the pains and penalties denounced by the edicts. It i.s these edicts which it is now in contemplation to abolish. To obtain this abo lition, the French mission, as may be well believed, could not make any direct propositions to the Chinese '.commissioners. It was only by influential means that it (aught or could act. Thus the first overtures came from the Chinese negotiators themselves, from Ki Yng, the representative of the Emperor, and from the treasurer, Hu An. Ki Yng has a liberal and philosophical mind. Far from having any prejudice or anti pathy against Christianity, he repeats , , both in personal con ference and in his written correspondence, that a religion which forbids evil and commands good cannot be a false one. He adds, that as this religion is professed by the great Em peror of the French, and by the noble nation of which he is sovereign, the abolition of the law - which forbids its exercise in China would be the best means of confirming a friendly alliance between the two countries. In a word, he offered his mediation with the Emperor and the Tribunal of Rites to obtain a revocation of the anti-Christian edicts." The papers publish accounts from Algiers to the Ist inst., giving details of the attack made by the Kabyles on a French convoy, which had left Tenez for Orleansville, in which some persons were killed on both sides, and ten French soldiers were made prisoners, Troops were assembling at Milianah for an expedition against these Kabyles, and Marshal BUGEAUD was to leave Algiers for that place on the 3d. No doubt re- mained that ABD-EL-KADER was about to make another demonstration in some quarter, but it was uncertain where he would appear. No business of importance was -done in the French Chambers on Saturday.

THIS DAY'S NEWS. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Lord Chief BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. BOIER. This was a prosecution by her Majesty's Commissioners of Customs to recover penalties for unduly unshipping tobacco. _ _ _ _ Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Chanibers for the traverser. After the case had been opened by Mr. Jarvis, Mr. CHAMBERS consented to a verdict for the Crown for 393/. 1 ls. 6d. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. WALTER HENRY AUSTIN. Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Wilde appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Humfreys, QC., and Mr. Chambers for the traverser. Mr. WILDE opened the pleading , . , , and Mr. JAEVLS stated the case. This was a prosecution instituted by her Ma jesty's Commissioners of Customs against the traverser for defrauding the Customs revenue. Amount of penalty 1,0001. The circumstances of the case were these It appeared that Walter Henry Austin was a clerk in the em ployment of a firm named Robinson and Co., of Water-lane, Custom-house agents; that in the month of July, 1842, Messrs. Robinson received a consignment of a case of foreign silks, weight 741 b. 3 oz., the duty payable upon which would amount to 851.; they sen;tthe traverser with the:money to pay the duty ; but he contrived to substitute a case weighing only I llbs. of inferior quality, the duty payable upon which was 71. I Is. 9d., which traverser paid, thereby defrauding the revenue of the difference. When the fraud was discovered, the prisoner was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of felony, and his employers, Messrs. Robinson, entered into re cognizances for his appearance at the Old Bailey. But when the session opened, he did not appear, and therefore the pre sent prosecution was instituted against him for the recovery of the difference and the penalty. Several witnesses were examined to prove preliminary matters, and the party to whom the case was consigned to prove the fraudulent substitution. When the case for the prosecution closed, Mr. HUMFRiYS spoke to the evidence at considerable length. He contended that his client was a young man of good character, who had, in fact, no charge against him ex cept his having had the misfortune to be a clerk to a house that was now broken up, and had for a long time been mixed up in those Custom-house transactions. He con tended that no case had been made out against his client, for the evidence only went to prove that he paid a certain sum for duty at the Custom-house upon one out of a number of packages. Having commented upon the evidence at great length, Mr. JARVIS replied. After which The Learned CHIEF BARON summed up, and in the course of which he told the jury they had to consider two questions; the first of which was, whether any fraud had been com mitted at all upon the revenue ; and, secondly, whether the defendant, Austin, was the party who committed the fraud. Having recapitulated the testimony of the witnesses, The jury consulted together for a few minutes, without leaving the box, and found a verdict for the Crown-334/. damages. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY The seventh session of the present mayoralty commenced this morning, in presence of the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and several of the Aldermen. After the grand jury had been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to address them. He said that the calendar contained the names of 168 prisoners, but that number would be considerably increased before they had done with their labours. Among many very serious offences in the calendar, there were several of manslanghter, one of false personation for the purpose of obtaining prize money, three charges of sacrilege, a case of forgery and uttering forged instruments, and two charges against females for murder ; the first against a mother for the murder of her new-born child, and the latter against a nurse for the destruction of an infant en trusted to her care. With respect to the last of these charges, it would be their duty to examine the evidence, and to decide upon it, whether the party charged had really committed the murder, and in the event of their coming to the conclusion that she bad done so, then it would be their duty to put the case in course of further examination. The gentlemen of the grand jury must understand that it was not their province to determine the motives which might have actuated the person in the commission of such a crime, or the state of mind in which she might be. That would be matter for another tribunal, their duty would be simply to ascertain that such a crime had been committed, and by the person charged with the offence. With regard to the first of these charges, he should particularly direct the attention of the grand jury to the evidence of the surgeon, and it would depend upon the weight theyatt ached to that eviden ce, whether that case also should be referred to the full Court. Should the capital offence not be made out, it still rested with them to indict the prisoner for the concealment of birth. There was a charge of false personation with intent to defraud the proper party of his share of the Chinese batta, and that offence, if proved, would come under the provisions of the Act having reference to prize money. The remaining charges, with the exception of that of sacrilege, which would turn upon the question of fact, were of a minor character ; and he would not detain them from their duties by enlarg ing upon them. With these few remarks, therefore, he would dismiss them to their onerous duties, and if the assist ance and advice of the Court were required in any stage of their proceedings, that advice or assistance would be!readily accorded. The petit jury were afterwards sworn. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young man of genteel appearance was charged with gambling. His name is William Evans. The neighbourhood of Argyll-square is infested with vagabonds who spend the whole of Sunday gambling in front of the church in the square, and annoying every respectable person that passes by. The nuisance has been repeatedly complained of by the inhabitants, and the attention of the police has been called to it, but whenever they apprehend any of the delinquents it is generally come well-conducted youth who has been decoyed into these vicious practices by the others, who are artful and active enough to make their escape. The prisoner is the son of very respectable parents, and never was apprehended, or even seen, at any such mischief before. His brother, a respectable-looking man, came forward, and said he was thoroughly ashamed of the prisoner's conduct; his father was bedridden and unable to attend. Mr. GREENWOOD fined the prisoner six shillings or a com mensurate term of imprisonment. The prisoner's brother, who paid the fine, at once said he hoped the Magistrate would punish the prisoner more severely if ever he came before him again.

Some curious statistics of banking firms in the metropolis are given by Mr. Gilbart in an analysis tivin 'the Parliamen tary returns, completed since the new Act .same into opera tion. lie states that : " The particulars required to be t,:trirned by the Act, and stated in the Gazette are the name of ti:e firma or Company ; the name, r es id ence, and occupation of persons of whom the Company or partnership consists, anc the name of the place or places where the business is carried "The London banking establishments consist of sixty part nerships, each not having more than six partners, and of frv . e public comp an i es , which are usually styled icu nt-stock banks. The f ormer may be divided into three classes 1. Those who are members of the Clearing-house. 2. Those located east of Temple-bar, but are not members of the Clearing-house: 3. Those located west of Temple-bar. " The names of 40 of the private banking firms end in ' Co.' In 3 instances there is no partner represented by the ' Co.' In 17 instances the Co.' represents the partners of the same name as other partners mentioned in the firm. There are 12 instances in which the name of the firm does not correspond with the names of the partners, and three in which the names do not occur in the same order. " In the firm of Messrs. Barnett, Hoares, and Co., there are three partners of the name of Hoare. In the firm of Messrs. Charles Hoare and Co., there are five partners of the same name. The firm of Jones and Son is represented by Mr. Alfred Jones. There is also a partner named Jones in the Smithfield Agency Banking Company. In the firm of Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, Mills, and Co., there are two part ners of the name of Mills. In the firm of Messrs. Curries and Co., there is also a partner of the same name. In the firm of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, there are five partners named Smith. There is also a partner of the name of Smith in the firm of Messrs. Child and Co. In the firm of Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co. there are two partners of the name of Williams. There is also a partner of the name of Williams in the firm of Messrs. Cockburn and Co. ; and there is a partner of the same name in the firm of Messrs. Ransom and Co. "The total number of places at which the business of private bankers is carried on in London is sixty—of which forty seven are to the east, and thirteen to the west of Temple bar. " The occupation of the partners—all are described simply as bankers, except Sir John W. Lubbock, who is described as a merchant, and Mr. Young, of the firm of Weston and Young, who is described as banker and brewer. " The residence of the Partners.-- , -Three Banking firms bare returned all their partners as resident at the place where the business is carried on. Three other firms have each two partners resident on the bank premises. Seven others have each a partner resident at the bank. Most of the other bankers reside in London, or within an easy distance. Some reside at a considerable distance in the country." The market for the English Securities has to-day been tolerably firm. Consols for present transfer have been 98% to 99, and for Account 99 to 99%. Exchequer-bills are 545. to 565. premium, and East India Bonds 70s. to 71s. ; the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 100 3 4 to 100%. The steamer from Halifax is expected about Thursday next, but there is not by any means so much interest felt for the news she may bring upon the Oregon question, as before the Great Western arrived, since it is conceived that the matter will now be left to the calm consideration of the American and English Cabinets, the populace of the United States having been much less excited than usual. Bank Stock has im proved to 209 and 210, and India Stock to 278. The Foreign Funds are not quite so well supported as on Saturday. Spanish Three per Cents. have been 41%, and the Passive 8 1 4 to 8%. Portuguese Converted are 66 1 / 2 to 67, being an improvement. Mexican Bonds are quoted 37 1 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 63 1 4 %; and Belgian Four per Cents., 99. There is a good deal of business doing in Railway Shares, and prices appear to be maintained in most instances. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY ATONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a full average scale, for the time of year ; but those of Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, of home produce, have proved small. Of Foreign Barley and Oats, the imports have been liberal. Fresh up, a limited supply of Wheat was received coastwise, as well as by land carriage, hence the stands were rather scantily filled with samples of both Red and White. The extreme caution manifested on the part of the millers in effecting purchases, caused the demand for all descriptions to rule exceedingly inactive, and, in some instances, when sales were pressed, the quo • tations had a downward tendency ; while, at the close of business, a clearance was not effected. The general con dition of the samples was not first-rate. The accounts respecting the Wheat plants are still favourable. The show of fine foreign Wheat was small, yet the inquiry for that article was in a very sluggish state, at barely, though at nothing quotable beneath last week's prices. In Corn under lock; next to nothing was doing. We had a good sup ply of fine foreign Barley on the stands ; but that of English was small. All kinds were again dull, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. Malt, the supply of which was good, met a very dull inquiry, and the currencies were with difficulty supported. The aggregate quantity of Oats being on the increase, that description of produce was dull, at barely stationary prices. Poth Beans and Peas were again firm, arid the quotations may be considered the turn higher. Seeds were generally heavy, at late rates.

As this is a matter of such vital importance to graziers and others, moment like this, when the transactions in store animals are becoming extensive, we shall here lay before.:onr reader! a few facts connected with the cattle trade as it now is, and which may prove interesting, and serve as a guide to pre sent and future operations in this and other markets. t sertions have, we find, gained currercy, to the effect that the quantity of stock in England, Sheep especially at _a is smaller than has been known for a series of years plat. We are quite ready to admit that in some districts (arising_ from many of the ficckmasters being compelled to disposeaot their supplies at a much earlier part of the season th n usual in consequence of the want of fodder, the result of last s year's protracted drought) such is positively the case, Yet th w . see no reason to justify the statements lately published, al' in particular, the arrivals of hccp hither during the next three or four inol , lli, will be exceedino. limited. So fa r as we have beee enabled to learn, the greatest deficiency appears to be been northern districts, to which large numbers of Sheep have been lately sent from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c. Should, however, the num; large, bers of that stock shown here prove even seasonab bayou li during the present year, we conceive it .is place , a doubt they will be light weighers, from the fact abni": stated. Bence we are of opinion that—foough, on sect"; perhaps of over-abundant supplies, the present e-xtrelliert may not be maintained during the next three weeks o t r lie month—prices will prove more remunerat ive than MI, the case last year. Still, much remains in the liandS graziers themselves; for it must be evident that by Ber i ou, us large numbers of any kind of live stock, a fall in van . be a necessary consequence. As an illustrati on of the.% marks, we may refer to last Friday's trade. On that daf T ge numbers of Sheep and Lambs were 12, 000, far above alto ones ; while to -effect a clearance the salesmen o it6 compelled to submit to a reditction of is ciao 2d per Sibs: in the quotations. As .resPecoboree slaughtered condition of the Sheep, we nisY ts tioalh that it certainly exceeds our previously for med exee yet We think the. future supply of rough f a t will Dv 'li e t his than usual There • . is one circumstances connected Witissoir market demanding some attention—we mean the t u lt . n u n eeed sion of stock, per railway, for it. It has freqiinV; - S,.o"pelis that the trains on some of the lines arrive in trin „,„ -- tbas too late for the day's trade • hence very great losses "'•- if incurred by the graziers. ' When we observe that tr; tive4 moiety of the Beasts and Sheep now sold here are f i w per railway, all will agree with us .that it s hot' come indispensably necessary that they _ am * come to hand as advertised by the various Cernrinny In the past week, three steamers, viz., t he Giraffe, v :froze bine, and Batavia, have arrived in the Port of I ,ol2o bee o f Rotterdam with live stock for this market.
