Cbtto MUttton FRAN CE. The National states as follows the conditions on which it will grant an amnesty to the President of the Republic The Inclependance Beige, narrati ng c er t a i n d e t a il s o f an interview of M. de Lamartine with the President of the Republic, attributes to the latter the following words:—` The heads of the old parties, who at bottom detest the Republic, and desire to overturn it to the profit; of Henry V., or the Count of Paris, wage a bitter war against me, under pretext of restoring the Empire. Since my protestations, repeated so often in various circumstances, cannot put an end to the calumny, I cannot do better than ask the man who is the living personification of the Re public, to form a Ministry; then the accusations against me cannot have any kind of foundation.' M. Bonaparte is wrong to complain of what he calls calumny, and o f his inability to put an end to the distrust which certain Decembrist acts have excited. There is a simple mode of convincing every one, and even his adversaries, of his respect for the Constitution, and that is, to propose to the Assembly to go back on measures which have be come too famous; to declare in jhis next Message that, under no pretext, will he solicit or accept a new candidateship for the office of President; to cause to be repeated on every occasion this declaration by his Ministers; and then the distrust and hostility which afflict him will not last long. The Constitution is for mally opposed to M. Bonaparte's re-election ; he cannot care much about paying that homage to the fundamental compact. A circumstance which took place in the committee charged to examine the proposition Remusat, and which is marked down in the minutes, demonstrates the necessity of the declaration which we mention. M. Baroche, when interrogated by one of the members of that committee as to the intentions of M. Bo na p ar t e relative to the presidential election of 1852, refused to reply. H e also remained silent when the same repre sentative asked him if in his opinion it would be an at tempt to violate the Constitution to endeavour to secure the triumph of the candidateship of M. Bonaparte in M a y, 1852." BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JAN. 24.—There was a warm debate in the Chambers yesterday on the budget of war. It is reported that General Chazal will be removed from the post of Military Governor of the Royal resi dence, that this post will be suppressed, and that the General will be removed to the fourth territorial divi sion, -the head-quarters of which is Mons, and that General aialmont will receive the command of the second territorial division, whose head-quarters are to be at Antwerp.—Journal du Commerce d'Aniers, Jan. 23. ITALY. 'Dv! Osservatore Romano of the 15th inst. states that the French court-martial at Rome, under the presidency of Colonel Delarnarne, has just tried five individuals, accused of having, on the 3d of December, w6undrA several French soldiers, so as to disable ;for twenty days. Two of the prisoners have been condemned to a year's imprisonment; the others have been acquitted. A correspondent of the Bilancia of Milan writes, that some agents of Mazzini have lately been landed at Fiumicino, near Rome, by an English yacht, and that their first act has been to spread a revolu tionary pamphlet, entitled, " Rome and the Roman States."

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The business done this week has been of a remarkably steady character, and without much advance as respects dividend concerns, with the exception of such as have shown improvements in the lodes, in which the rise has been sudden and important. We foresee that we are approaching the limit to which prudential capitalists will be inclined to go, in hesitating to pay a price for a divi dend-share when the interest of capital would become reduced below 12i. or 15 per cent.; and, doubtless, this is a sound and practical stand to take. Several new concerns of favourable aspects have had their shares distributed without difficulty; and, on the whole, we congratulate the mining interest on the present condition of affairs. The Metal Market has been very animated during the week.—Copper firm, and in good demand.—Foreign Tin more inquired for, and several parcala have changed hands; a good business doing in Tin Plates.—Lead is firm, with a brisk demand. The arrivals at Swansea during the week have been —1,821 tons of copper ore, and 9 tons 11 cwts. precipi tated copper ore, for the Cobre Company; and also 567 tons of copper ore; 782 tons of copper regulus; and 20 tuns of silver ore. The sale of copper ores, on Tuesday, amounted to 2,167 tons, producing 22,4361. 115. 6d. The weekly sale of copper ores at Redruth, on Thurs day, amounted to 2,613 tons, which produced 16,5271. 1 ls. 6d. _ _ Wheal Mary (Redruth) sold 100 tons of copper ore, realizing 4211. 2s. 3d. Tincroft sold 26 tons of black tin at 42/. per ton, and 4 tons at 251. per ton. The Rock's and Treverbyn Mines sold two parcels of tin—the one at 551. 7s. 6d., tho other at 361. 10s. per ton. The report states the mine to present very favourable appearances, and promises for increased returns as the workings prcgress. Wheal Mary Ann sold two parcels of lead ore-88 tons to Pontifex and Wood, at 201. 18s. 61, and 99 tons to the rasiar Smelting Company, at 91. ls. sd. per ton. The lowoat tender for the first lot was 181. ls., by Locke, Blackett, and Co., and for the latter 41. 48., by Walker and Co. Court Grange sold 24 tons of silver lead ore, at 171. 514 6 d. pe.r ton. At Callington, a parcel of lead ores, 45 tons, was sam pled on Monday. The Kelly Bray lode now produces 8 tons of coppe r ore per fm. At MillpooL they are raising tin, and the stamps are fully employed, preparing for returns. At Wellingto n Mi ne a new lode, worth 151. per fathom, has been cut. A lode, 18 in. wide, has been cut at East Wheal Leisure in driving the 10 fen. cross-cut from Taylor's shaft; it contains copper, jack, a n d mun di c. B ot h nort h and south lodes are expected to be cut in a few days. At Wheal Adams, the lode has been intersected in the 28 fm. level, the part cut into being very promising, and productive of lead ore , o f good quality. T his is viewed as an important point in the operations,_ an d lik ely to turn out well f o r the interests of the adventurers. At Wheal Penhale, the lode in the 40 fm. level i s much impro ve d, and t hel taunter lode in th opening on it nort h an d sou th, is s tated e t w e inbzee' sinceworth from 50/. to 60/. per fin. From the Merllyn agent's report, which gives a most favourable account of the operations, it app ears that in the pitch between the whim shaft and the boundary ad joining, a great deposit of ore has been taken away, somewhere about 25 tons. One stone broken was esti mated at 1} ton weight; and of the entire mass 15 tons are in stones from 1 cwt, to 1 cwt., forming such a pile of stones as has never before been seen in the mine. At one spot the lode was about 4 ft. wide, without a bit of was t e . This pitch was working on the boundary, but.it was hoped that good many t ons wou ld yet be taken away within the Merllyn sett. The directors of the Devonshire Great Consolidated Copper Mining Company, at their board meeting, held yesterday, declared a dividend of 71. per shar e , b e i ng 7,165 Z from net profit arising from sales of copper ores sampled for the months of September and October last. After payment of this dividend there will remain in hand a balance of 20,5241. 16s, Id. in cash, ore bills not PP the ge nera l licable t o at maturity, and reserved fund a purposes o f the company. At the Wheal Buller meeting,_ _on Tuesd a y, t h e ac counts showed-Ores sold (less dues), 8,7351. l s. 4d.; balance from last seem nt 9601. 75.=4,695/. Bs. 4d. T wo months' cost, 7811. 125.; merchants' bills, 253/. 2s. : di vidend of 201. per 1- 128 th s h ar e . 2,5601.: l eav ing ba lance in ha n d o f 1.1001 14s. 4d. The report stated that upwards of 1,000 ions of ore were discover ed durin g the two months' workings, more than taken away. T ... i ine Trevi s k ey b i-mont hl y acco unts show-mne cost for October and November, ore, 3321. 55.795/. 1 55 . 3 d.; tribute of 7d. ; merchants ' bills, 3341. 4s. 11(1., Tre savean water-charge, 229/. 7s. 9d..=1671. 13s. 6d. By ore sold in Sept. (less lords' dues), 3,442/. 10s. 3d.; leaving a profit of 1,771/. 16s. 9d. ; to which add balance last account, 41/. 85. 51 = 1 ,813/. sr. 2d. A dividend of 1,5/. per share (1,8001.) was declared, leaving balance in toted, 131. ss. 2d. On Wednesday, 485 tons of ore were kampled, and the same quantity, it is expected, will be *Pained daring the next two months. The Warleggan Consols accounts show -Mine cost for Sept., Oct., and Nov., 185/. 118. 5d.; materials and other expenses, 92/. 4s. 5d.; disbursements in London, 52/. 1%0.'61-Balance last account, 51s. Ils. 7d.; cash re ceived on call, 3831. 55.; sale of tin ore, 25/. 125.,=--469/. 81. 7d.; leaving a balance in hand, 129/. 18s. 3d. The accounts were passed, and the report read to the meet- ing stated that another parcel of tin would soon be ready for sale. The report of operations, which have been chiefly confined to the southern part of the sett, was deemed highly encouraging. The balance in favour of the company has been augmented since the accounts were made up, by payments to the amount of 701. 12s. 6d. The directors, we perceive, decline all compensa tion for their services until the returns are sufficient to pay dividends. At a meeting of the Sidney Godolphin adventurers, the accounts presented showed :-Costs to the end of last June, i 931. 17s. lld ; for the five months ending in No vember, 6261. 18s. 4d. ; merchants' bills, including 3001. on account of engine, 868/. 18s. 7d.=2,190/. 14e. 10d. The amount of call in May last, left unpaid 16/. was I,OOBL, leaving a balance against the mine of 1,18.21. 14s. 10d. A call of 1/. 10s. per share was made to meet the balance and defray the future expenditure of opera tions. The report stated that the engine is now at work, and the shaft sunk 12 fms. below the edit. The Orchard lode eastward produced good stones of copper ore, and the eastern end of Vivian's lode is now stated to be worth 10/. per fm. for tin and copper. A report on the Leeds and St. Aubyn Consols was read at the meeting of Sidney Godolphin adventurers, explanatory of the present state of the mine, and the prospects held out in the contemplated working of the sett, when it was resolved that shares should be offered to the latter, in proportion to their interest, on payment of 10s. each, for working the mine. At the Wheal Blencowe meeting, the accounts were as follows:-Balance on last account, 651. 12s. 11d.; mine cost for the four months ending Nov., 1541. 7s. ld.; mer chants' and other bills, 22/. 15s. 3d. = 2491. 15s. 3d,- By tin sold, three parcels, 49/. 83. ld.; amount received on calls, 64L 4s. 6d.-leaving balance due to purser, 1361. 2a. Bd., to meet which a call of 153. a share was made. The agent's report states, that the two southern most lodes, east and west, had been cut, one of which was very promising, and had yielded fine stones of tin, with every prospect of being productive. A cross -cut is also being driven, to intersect the east and west lodes. At the meeting of Wheal Vincent adventurers, the report on the mine was read, and considered very satis factory. Some discussion took place relative to " Tre vint Marsh" sett, and the secretary was instructed to offer Mr. Northam, the owner, twelve shares in the mine and 701. in cash, or 25 shares in full of all demands, and the expenses of the lease. It was resolved, that 90 forfeited shares should be added to the umber of shares, restoring the number to 1,000. The cost-sheet for November was 118/. 1 ls. 3d., and the payments were made amounting to 154/. 15s. 10d. The balance now at the bankers, all arrears of calls being paid, is 1761.85. 7d. At the Berriow Consols meeting, a call of 1/. per share was made; and it was also determined to commence sink ing the shaft on the main lode forthwith, and to continuo driving on Budge's lode, to ascertain the best place for sinking a shaft. The agent's report states that small bunches of good quality ore had been found in cleariug the edit on Badge's lode, and there are other lodes near, which can be tried at small expense by a cross-cut. At the Bridford Consols meeting, the report of the agent stated that the great lode in the mine, consisting wholly of barytes, had been cut through, and found to he at least 40 ft. wide. Operations have been commenced at the western side, with a view to ascertain the best place for an engine -shaft. The &erecter cf the great lade is stated to resemble exactly that in Wheal Adams, and would, it is anticipated, be equally productive. The gossans from the lode have beau found to yield lloz. of silver per ton. The costs for the last three months (381. 6s. 5d.) were allowed, and the purser was authorised to procure a good steam-engine, when an opportunity offered of making an advantageous purchase. At the Wheal Arthur special meeting, on Friday, it was recommended, in consequence of the prospereus state of the mine, that no more shares should be dis posed of; but that a call should be made on the share holders. The following resolution were then passed:- That the Wheal Arthur be now divided into 1,225 shares, instead of 2,048 as heretofore; and that the list of shareholders produced at the meeting he the share holders to this date. That a call of 53. per share be made, one-half to be paid on the 7th February, and the remainder on the 21st February. The report read at the meeting was highly favourable as regards the pro spects of the mine, which, according to the opinion ex pressed by the agent, is one of the best speculations in Cornwall or Devon. The agent's report to the Mineral Court meeting states that the engine-shaft is sunk to the 40 fm. level, and the lode cut through, which is considered to be worth from 151. to 20/. per fathom. A new whim has been erected, and other operations are in progress for developing the resources of the mine. The accounts show-Balance last account, 1,565/. 19s. 6d.-Mine cost for October, 445/. 18a. 7d., ditto for November, including balance of purchase money, 6801. 7s. 6d.a - a2,6921 ss. 7d. -By cash on call, 41. p er s h are , l ess arrears, 918/. ; arrears received, 621. 10s.; water-wheel sold, 17/. 103.; tin sold (less dues, 42/. 18s. 10d.), 7301. ls.- - - - -1,7581. ls.; leaving a balance against the mine, 934/. 4s. 7d. The mine is stated to have never presented a better appear ance, and fall confidence is expressed in the success of the undertaking. At the West Downs Consols meeting, the accounts to the end of Dec. were passed, subject to the absent vouchers being produced at the next meeting, and a call of 10s. per share was made. On account of the large number of shares in arrear, the purser was authorised to take measures to have the affairs of the company ad ministered by a Master in Chancery, unless the arrears, together with the call then made, be paid within four teen days. It was also agreed to indemnify the purser, Mr. Robins, and Captain Carpenter, the agent, against the costs of an action cernmenecd by the East Crowndale Company, for an alleged illegal distress for rent. It was _ J - - lastly resolved to commence an action for compensation, on account of damage sustained by the forcible removal of property, and other injuries committed, under the direction of the East Crowndalc Company, counsel's opinion being first taken on the subject. At the South Josiah meeting, on Monday, the accounts for the last two months showed—Balance last account, 1001. 4s. Bd.—By costs, Oct. and Nov. 58L 24. ld. ; leav ing balance in hand, suppo s in g a ll calls paid, of 42/. 2s. 7d.; against which there were liabilities, 75/. Bs. Bd., leaving 33/. 6s. Id. to be provided for. It was agreed to prosecute the level on the course cf the lode, and to rise on its back, so as to ascertain the size of the orcy part. A call of I.os. per share was made. The report stated that a favourable change had taken place in the lode, which was two feet wide, producing good stones of ore. At the West Lead Mines meeting, the accounts showed—Mine cost from the commencement, in Septem ber, 1071. 103. By cash received on calls, 84/. 109.• ' loan, 331. = 1174 103.; lea v i ng a b a l an c e in ha n d o f 1 0 1 . The estimated liabilities, inclusive of cost for January and February, are 309/. 16s. 2d., and the assets 183/. A call of ss. per share was made. The agent's report stated that at No. 3 shaft three fathoms had been sunk, and the vein driven upon to the extent cf 25 fathoms. Nothing, says the report, can look more promising and encouraging than this vein, in which some beautiful lumps of ore are often met with, forming almost, at times, a solid rib of four inches in width. At the last meeting of Crane and Bejawsa adventurers, a call was made of il. per share, to meet the balance of 846/. then declared against the mine. At tho East Godolphin meeting, the accounts for the last six months were submitted, showing—Mine coat and merchants' bills for that period, 9801. 186. 6d.; balance last account, 1351. 17s. Bd.—leaving balance against the mine, 8451. Os. 10d. A call, for 41. per share was made, which will produce 1,0241. The agent's re port stated that the progress of the workings had been greatly impeded by a hard channel of ground in the engine-shaft, but this being now passed, it was be lieved that the chief difficulties wero surmounted, and that the next report will be the most favourable yet issued. About 50 tons of ore are ready for sampling. At Wheal Venton two-monthly general meeting, on Thursday the accounts for November and December, showing balance in hand of 486/. 18s. 2d., and a state ment of assets and liabilities, showing balance of liabi lities over assets of 361. 96. 11d., were submitted and passed. Captain Osborn's salary was raised from six to eight guineas per month, 'and the present prospects of the mine were considered highly flattering. At the East Wheal Reeth meeting, ou Wednesday week, it was resolved to erect a steam-engine; and on Wednesday a tender was submitted to the committee, which they will take into consideration on Wednesday next. At the Bryn-Arian meeting the accounts showed a balance in favour of adventurers, 68/. 9s. The mine cost for Oct. was 2031. 45.; for Nov., 2791. 18a. 93. By ba lance at last account, 3391. 15s. 9d.; sale of 20 tons of ore, less discount, 2111. 165.; leaving balance as stated. A call of ss. per share was made, to meet the cost of fu ture operations at the mine. Our Share List shows no tendency to a falling off in the number of transactions, nor, we believe, in the real amount of business done. For Mill Pool and West Frances there has been a considerable demand; and, in dependent of the well-maintained quotations of dividend paying mines, it will be evident that smaller speculations of a promising character have attracted a full share of attention. In Foreign shares but few quotations have been marked during the week. United Mexican have been done at 5/. to 511.; and National Brazilian at a slight decline on previous prices. Shares in Worthing (South Australia) have been sold at 21, per share. l A N T G INTELLIGENCE.MANCHESTER—FRIDAY.

Left—Wanota and Croat. Irish Birdcatcher has arrived at Messrs. Barrow's stud paddocks ; he is looking remarkably fresh. CHANGES IN THE NORTH.—Mr. Worthington's horses have left John Scott and gone to Osborne's, at Middle ham, to be trained. YORK RACE COURSE.—We understand that this course will undergo some alterations prior to the Spring Meeting; the Old Course, which is 228 yards short of THE SUN, LONDON. two miles, will be lengthened, and made exactly two miles. The great match between Voltigeur and The Flying Dutchman will consequently be full two miles. LrennELD RACES.—Lord Ward has accepted the stewardship of this year's meeting, in conjunction with Viscount Lewisham. The races aro fixed, as usual, for the Bth and 9th of September, being th© week inter vening between Warwick and Doncaster Races. Sir W. Milner's The Golden Age, by Th© Era out of Osberton's dam, 2 yrs, has arrived at H. Hill's, Aske, to be trained for his engagements. Lady Godiva has been sold for 200 gs. to the Marquis of Westminster, as a brood mare. Deicoon passed through Paris a few days ago en route for Greece. Mickleton is struck out of the Newmarket and Metro. politan Handicaps. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) RUMOURED INCREASE OF THE LONDON GARRISON. —We understand that his Grace the Commander-in- Chief has expressed an opinion that it will be unnecessary to increase the military strength of London during the Great Exhibition, beyond removing the battalion of Guards from Chichester to the vicinity of the metropo lis; every prccantion will, however, be taken by the au thorities at the Horse Guards on the occasion of such an excess of visitors ; and buildings have been surveyed for the accommodation of alditional troops, should their services be required, in aid of the civil power, which latter force we understand is to be augmented by 1,000 men. THE LATE FIELD-MARSHAL GROSVENOII.—It may not be generally known that the late Field-Marshal used to tak; pleasure in relating that he commanded the Guard at the Bank during the dreadful scenes which took place at the riots in London in 1780—now 71 years ago. DIRECTOR-GENERAL OE TUE ARINY MEDICAL DE PARTMENT.—We have reason to believe that no final arrangement has been made with respect to this branch of th 3 service; but we know that the amalgamation with that of the Ordnance Medical Staff is under consi deration. THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL.—The Commander-in- Chief has not yet yet come to any decision on the Ge neral Court-Martial recently Bela on Lieutenant Harris, of the 4th King's Own Regiment, but we regret to say that an unfavourable result is anticipated. THE LATE FRACAS AT I)EVONPORT.—We under stand that the late fracas which took pace at a ball recently held at Devonport between a gallant captain and subaltern of the Royal Marine Corps is likely to be come the subject of a court of inquiry. REDUCTION CF NAVAL CADETS.—It is reported lint the Admiralty have determined to reduce the number of entries of Cadets in the Naval Service fJr the year 1851, from 190 to 80. This is stated to be absolutely necessary, or the List will iu a few years be again clowded with old Mate 3. INCREASE OF THE SQUADRON ON THE COAST OF ArracA.—lf the monthly increase of the Squadron on the Coast be any criterion, the Government are at length in real earnest in their determination to put down the Slave Trade; for no less than six ves sels have been commissioned, and have sailed, or are now about to be despatched to the Coast, within the last few weeks—viz., Sampson, 6, bteam frigate, Captain Jones, with her tender, the Bloodhound steam vi_ssel, nearly ready; Volcano, 3, steam ves3rl, Commander Rivers, left, this week; Penguin, 6, Commander Ethe ridge, to be ready this month; Spy, 3, brigantine, Limi ter ant Commander Hill, to sail in a few days direct to the Coast Irons Sheerniss; and Athol, store ship. FL AG CAPTAIN TO COMMODORE MARTIN.—The gallant Commander-in• Chief of the Western Squadron, who has been advanced to the privileges of a red pendant, has not yet nominated his Flag Captain; but it is believed that Captain S. C. Dacrcs, who now commands the Leander, 50, to which ship Commodore Martin has shifted his pendant, from the Prince Regent, 90, will have this nomination; and as soon as the Prince Regent is ready f,a- re-commissioning will shift over to her with the Commodore, leaving the command of the Leander to be filled up by the Admiralty. The Prince Regent in command of Commander Fend may be expected at Spit head the latter end of next week. IRON OR WOOD FOR SHIPS-OF-WAR.— Several highly influential men connected with the shipping in terest, and more e:pecially with the various extensive steam companies, have united in a request to tho Admi ralty to institute further trials of the comparative effects of shot on iron and wooden vessels before their Lordships' final condemnation of iron as a material for building ships-of-war or steam-packets. They allege that if wooden ships were subjected to the same severe trials of shut from such a fixed battery as ou board her Majesty's ship Excellent, the results would be as destructive as presented by the iron targets, and hav ing urged their Lordships to institute now trials under various cirmnstances, upon their representations a butt, to represent the section of both sides of a line-of-battle ship, is being constructed in Portsmouth Dockyard, against which percussion shells, by several projectors, are to be tested. SICKNESS ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP AMAZON. —We are sorry to hear, by a letter dated November 19, that her Majesty's ship Amazon, Captain Barker, had no less than 59 cases on her sick list, the fever and ague having broke out on board just alter the paddy cuttieg. The Amazon was ordered away on the 20th from Hong- Kong to Manilla and Singapore, at which division Cap tain Barker was to remain as senior officer. Her late commander Captain E. N. Troubridge, lies buried in " Happy Valley," Hong-Kong, by the side of his late Commander-in-Chief, Sir Francis Collier. A Court of Icquiry is being held at Sheerness on Mr. Clements, Second Master of the Apollo troop-sip, Com mander Rawstorne, on various charges. The medical officers alluded to last week, as having resigned their commissims in the Navy, on account of their appointment to \Vett India colonial service, are Messrs. Bainbridge and Tucker.

COLLEGE OF CHRIST CHURCH. BRECON.— THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S AND ,THE REV JERMYN PRATT.. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. shall be obliged by your inserting the follow ing in your next journal:— In a letter sent by tin Bishop of St. David's to the Archbishop of Canterbury (in answer to one written by Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P. for Marylebone), the accuracy of the Record of the College of Christ Church in Brecon, which I had printed in 1846, has been de nied. Now, Sir, Ido most unhesitatingly assert that the information given of the state of the college and school was (when I visited it in 1846) strictly in accord ance with the truth; and, moreover, I do not believe that any respectable person will be found in Brecon or its vicinity but who could affirm that this collegiate foun dation was, in 1846, as I represented it in my Record.

Ho therefore agreed in the conclusion of the Master. COURT OF COALVON PLEAS, Jan. 24. (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM. BAINBRIGGE V. BAINBRIGGE. This important will case came on for argument. The issue is directed by the Master of the Rolls fur an action brought to set aside a will made in 1818 by the late Thomas Bainbrigge, Esq., of Woodseat.Staffordshile, on the ground of insanity. The plaintiffs are Major-Ge neral Bainbrigge and the other nephews of the testator, and the defendant is John Arnold Bainbrigge, who claims under the will. The trial took place at the last Stafford assizes, and occupied five days. The verdict was for the plaintiff. The facts of the case have been frequently published. Mr. Keating in the course of last term obtained a rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL now appeared to show cause. The reading of the judge's notes occupied the wholo day, and the Learned Counsel had not commenced his argument when the Court rose. MIDDL ESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 24. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistent•Jndge, and a Bench of Magistrate:;.) SEATS ON THE ROOFS OF OMNIBUSES. The Court sat today at the Guildhall, Westminster, to hear appeals. It having been arranged that the question as to the legality of carrying passengers on a " longitudinal seat uPon 'ie roof of Oninibuse - s - " would conp,:tinder discus sion to-day, in the appeal of SOPHIA OAYWOOD V. A CONVICTION OF MR. HENRY, the Court was densely crowded by persons connected with the various conveyance companies. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Huddlestone appeared on behalf of the Commissioners of Police to support the conviction; and Mr. M. Chambers, with Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bal lantine, represented the appellant. This was an appeal by the appellant, the proprietress of a Bayswater omnibus, against n conviction of Mr, Henry, one of the magistrates at the Bow-street police court, for an offence under the Hackney Carriage Act, 6th and 7th Victoria, cap, 86. It appeared that the offence committed by the appel lant was that of carrying passengers on a longitudinal seat running along the roof of the omnibus. Mr. BODKIN now, in support of the conviction, dis claimed, on behalf of the Commissioners of Police, coy feeling of desire to oppress the appellant, whose case would, of course, decide the future conducting of omni bus'-a in regard to these seats on the roof, and de- dared that the only object of their proceedings in the matter was to obtain for the public greater security and greater comfort as they travelled by these conveyances. Far from their wish, too, was it to deprive the poorer classes of the means of a cheap transit by these vehicles. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contend that the Act of Parliament made it necessary that every omnibus should have plainly written upon it the num ber of inside and outside passengers respectively it was constructed to carry, and it also made every owner carrying a larger number than the vehicle was constructed to carry in pursugnce of the regulations and specifications set forth in the Act liable to a penalty by way of fine. He then urged that the meaning of the statute was, that " fir, proper, and covenient " sows were in all cases to be provided for the passengers, and submitted that the seats on the longitudinal bench on the roof of an omnibus could not be said to fall within the meaning of " lit, proper, and conveniently," and then that a larger number of passengers were carried by means of those seats than the omnibus was in reali.'„y constructed for. A variety of witnesses were called to show that the seats were unfit, as well as difficult and dangerous to be attained, seeing that the approaches to them, whether by means of crawling up the back or of mounting by the front of the omnibus, were extremely inconvenient, and especially when the passenger had to descend. Some of the witnesses spoke, too, of the accidents which they themselves had either sustained or been witnesses of as the result of the difficulty of ascending to or descending from these roof seats. It was likewise proved that com plaints had been made by the inside passengers of the dirty boots of these roof passengers being allowed to be put upon the sill of the window in the door at the back of the omnibus as the wearers were either getting up or coming down from their elevated sittings, and that it had not uufrequently occured that a gentleman, when alight ing from the inside, had been unpleasantly hastened in that operation by finding the feet of a descending roof rider fixing upon his hat or shoulders. It was further given in evidence that women were sometimes compelled to mount the roof, and that in their attempt to accom plish that object indecent exposures were of common oc currence. The case in support of the conviction having been brought to a conclusion, _ _ CHAMBEIP.;, on behalf of the appellant, submitted that his Learncd Friends had failed to make out any case within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, to the effect that tho seats were either " ur:lit, improper, or inconvenient." The Learned JUDGE, after some discussion between the Learned Counsel as to a case being sent to the Court of Queen's Bench, said the Court were unanimous in the opinion that omnibus proprietors had a right to have those seats along the roof of the vehicle so long as they provided the sixteen inches in width for each passenger, and had written upon the vehicle the number of pas sengers it was constructed to carry, those seats, of course, being " fi , , proper, and convenient." They were also of opinion that these seats were " fit, proper, and conve nient." The only difficulty really appeared to be the means by which the passengers ascended to and descended from the roof. As to the provision of a proper mode of " ascending and descending," not one word was said in the Act, but the opinion of the Court upon that point was that the present system in that respect, as far as the evidence had as yet gone, was very bad, very in convenient, and very dangerous; but it was manifet,t that a remedy could be easily and readily found by means of the application of another step and a leathern strap or handle affixed to the hinder end of the omnibus, which passengers might use in their ascent to or descent from the seats on the roof. He saw a large number of per sons in court who appeared to be influentially connected with omnibuses, and be hoped they would adopt the suggestions which he, not in his legal character, but as a private individual, had just thrown out. Mr. CHAMBERS then at great length conteaded that the conviction could not be sustained. A large number of witnesses were called, who stated that having ridden almost daily on the roof of omnibuses they considered them perfectly safe, and that the means of ascent and descent were not dangerous. A proprietor of the name of Wilson said that his om nibuses had for a long time carried some thousands of passengers daily, and that he had never had any com plaint or accident. _ _ _ ARA] Another stated that he had been the manager of the Paddington Company, that during his time their staff of omnibuses made as many as 1,320 journeys daily, and that they had never had either complaint or accident. Mr. BODKIN replied. The COURT then allowed the appeal, and ordered the conviction to be quashed. The Court sat to an unusually late hour, and was op pressively crowded to the last moment. VALE. Qrs.

Thomas Brown, a person of gentlemanly appearance, was brought before Alderman Hooper upon the charge of having cheated at cards. Mr. Hobler appeared. for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the defence. The case, which lasted for a considerable time, excited much curiosity and interest. Mr. Hobler said, that on the preceding night a ball had been given at the London-tavern for the benefit of one of the excellent institutions connected with the licensed victuallers of the metropolis, and that some of the company retired to rooms in which cards were played ; that the defendant joined a party at cards, and that, suspicion having been entertained that he was playing a "sharp" game, he was watched, and detected in cheating in a manner not to be doubted, and handed over to the custody of the officers of police, who con. ducted him to the station-house. Mr. Hob'er said, the prosecction was instituted under the Bth and 9th Vic toria, cap. 17, which punished with transportation for seven years the misdemeanour with which the defendant was charged. Mr. Robert Whitehead, of No. 98, Whitecross-street, licensed victualler, said—l was last night at the ball at the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street. Games of cards were played in some of the rooms. I joined in the game of limited 100. The limit was half a guinea. The defendant played with me. There were three others who played, two of whom appeared to be friends of the defendant and were not known to me. The play began between eleven and twelve o'clock, and continued three or four hours. I played a couple of hours, during which time he was there. I was perfectly sober all the time, and I lost between 3/. and 41. to the defendant. I observed his mode of play, and watched him very narrowly in consequence of what was mentioned to me by a gentleman (Here the witness de scribed the game of leo.) I saw him take a card from behind his collar. It was the ace of clubs. It had been dealt to him, and he bad passed it into the collar of his coat, inside. I seized that card in his hand, and I showed it to the gentlemen who were playing with him. Ido not know whether clubs were trumps at the time. There were about five playing at the time. The defendant wanted to make a shuffle of it. There was no officer then in the room, but I went down and brought up one, and gave the defendant into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l do not know who had put into the pool at the time. This occurrence put an end to the game. I prevented that card from being played. I did not seine the money in the pool, and I have not 51. 103. of his. There was some drinking going on at the time. It was about five o'clock in the morning when it took place. I was one of the committee, and I fetched up two bottles of wine. There was some brandy and water also drunk. I do not know who was the dealer of the cards at the time, nor did I see the cards dealt round. I h a d s t o pp e d playing before that time. I had been loood, and I refused to pay a guinea , as I con sidered it to be an impoaition. A person who lost 101. at play had gone away. RL-examined—l am not skilled in the game. iolde;;;;;VooPEß—Was the defendantplaying during ,he whole time you were losing your money? Witnes, —He was. - Mr. Jamds Young, of No. 13, Buckingham place, Fitzroy•equare, licensed victualler, said—l joined in the game. We first played %hist, and then 100. Th e de fendant was one of the party from the time we brgsn until we left off. We played,l think, about half-a-dozm hours. I was quite sober. There were two players who, I believe, were connccted with the defendant, but they were strangers to me. We begets with eighteen penny 100, but, at the wish of the detendant, we raised it to a guinea. I lost nearly 101. at the table to the person who won, and who was fire times out of six the priso ner, for Lc wither held the ace or the highest card. I ob served that he held the ace or the king more frequently than any other person at the table. I dealt at the time the defendant was detected. There were five of us playing then at guinea 100, and I think I ir.td contributed to the pool at the time. I had paid three shillings, or a half-crown and a sixpence into the pool. As dealer, I turned up trumps. The game was broken up by the intimation given by Mr. Whitehead, whom I saw go and take a card from the back of the defendaut's collar. I had then dealt three cards to the defendant. If the ace had been played it would have given him the game. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l did not make a misdeal that time. I turned up the three of clubs. I should not like to swear that Par. Brown had taken up his cards at the time. There might have been halt a dozen at the table looking on. I snatched up Si. 10s., the de fendant's money, and I believe another person picked up 21. I have got the 51. 10a, which I took up is the ex citement of the moment. On his re-examination the witness said the defendant was at times loved. He won upwards of 201. Alderman HoopEa—Did he turn up the ace fre quently? Witness—He did. I saw the king of hearts come out of his sleeve too. Mr. George Bennett, of the Archway Cottage, Upper Holloway—l was present in the card-room an saw Mr. Whitehead (the defendant) and others playing. My at tention, as one of the committee, was drawn to the table at which the defendant sat. I observed him for ten minutes, and saw all that was passing. There were, I think, six or raven, and among them were two others, besides the defendant, who were not known to me. I was so situated as to be able to see the cards •which the defendant held, and a gentleman had told me what he had been doing. I first saw him put the ace of spades behind his collar, and when spades were not trumps, he did not play it, but when they were he pulled it out and played it. Mr. Whitehead was then playing. There were several other deals, and I saw the defendant put the card behind in the same place three or four different times. Whenever a card came out trom behind his collar it was an ace. I saw it five or six different times. There was a little disturbance about some play, and Mr. Whitehead left the table and Would not play any more. I communicated something to him of what I had ob served, and be stood with me; and I saw the defendant put another card behind his collar, and Mr. Whitehead immediately took the card out of his hand—the ace of Cross-examined by Mr. Wnntner—l saw the ace cf spades distinctly in the palm of his hand. People would consider when he put his hand to the back of his collar that he was scratching his head.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wontner—Why did you nut go forward at once and expose what you say you saw ? Witness—l did not like to do it till I was fully convinced of the fact. Alderman HOOPER—Did you two the ace of spades put back by the defendant when spades were not trumps, and drawn out when they were? Witness—l did. Mr. B. F. Fowler, proprietor of the Falcon, Essex• street, Bethnal-green, said—l was present in the card room, and I saw Mr. Whitehead and Mr. Young put down money and lose it. The prisoner took two tricks, and one of the strangers took one. I saw Mr. White head and Mr. Young lose frequently, and I warned Mr. Whitehead to leave the table, beic; convinced that cheat ing was' going on. Mr. Whitehead went round, and soon afterwards said, " Gentlemen, you are playing with a blackleg!" and at the same time he disclosed the ace of clubs. There was great confusion. Another gentle man who spas playing lost 81. or 101. Mr. John BittterCld, a licensed victualler—l played and lost 3/. The defendant won, and took the money six or seven times. I thought I could play moderately well, but ho always got the ace or king to beat me.—(A laugh.) I did not think I had been cheated till I was informed. I had left off playing two hours. Alderman HOOPER—You had had enough, I suppose? Witness—Yes, quite enough.—(Laughter.) The ALDERMAN then consented to take as bail two sureties for 1001. each, and the defendankto enter into his own security to the amount of 2001,, to appear at the Central Criminal Court ❑ext session. THAMES. William East, aged 18, of 39, London-street, Rataliff, was brought up for final examination. He stands charged with manslaughter in shooting Robert Ablett, a la bourer, on the afternoon of the 16th inst. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial SOUTHWARK. George Foster and Caroline, his wife, were , placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with neglecting their children, and causing them to be in a starving Con dition. Mr. A'BECKETT said, the case was one exhibiting great neglect of the children by their parents, and that the parochial officer had acted very properly in having it investigated. He should remand the prisoners, but would accept bail for the appearance of the man, whose conduct, however blameable in the transaction, was not so bad as the woman's. Theprisoners were then remanded, and it appears that Foster contrived to commit suicide yesterday morning in the county gaol. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

NEWBURY, JAN. 23.—We have only a small supply of Wheat iu offer to-day, most of which is the remains of previous markets. The demand to-day is better than of late, and we have to report a larger clearance at the fullest rates of last week. Barley, moderate supply; fine making, free sale at rather enhanced rates; other descriptions in fair demand, at fully the prices of last week. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, with a fair demand, and late rates firmly supported. LIVERPOOL, JAN, 24,—At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, and a moderate amount of business was done in wheat and flour at the full prices of Tuesday. Oats and oatmeal met with little inquiry, but were not offered on lower terms. Barley, beans, and peas without change either in value or demand. Indian corn was in brisk request, and an advance of 6d per quarter was realised in the sales made. EXETER, JAN. 24.—Pork Carcases—A large supply, which has been salting at 6s to 7s per score.

Corn Exchange —The m arket to-day continues inactive, and we can quote no alteration in the figures which have for some times ruled. Best English wheat is 5s per bushel, and the price ranges between 4s 6d and ss. In foreign wheat, some dark coloured Syrian was offered at 34s per quarter, and Polish Odessa at 38s, both of course very much inferior in quality to our English wheat.

NO ARREARS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY. BROGDEN Y. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case came before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce upon exceptions to the report of Master Dowdeswell, who had found, upon a reference to hint by Vice-Chancellor Wigram, that the portion of th© North Kent line, for which Mr. Brogden was contractor, was in a state fit for public traffic at twelve o'clock at noon, on Saturday, the 21st July, 1849. Mr. Matins and Mr. Bailey appeared in support of the exceptions on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company; the Attorney-General, Mr. Page Wood, and Mr. Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, in support of the Master's finding. In the course of the opening of the exceptions, The VICE^CHANCELLOR said—Mr. Attorney-General, I believe that although this is Friday, and we are taking exceptions and farther directions, under the new arrange ment, yet I sin hearing this in due course; and that, in point of fact, without that arrangement this case would now be in hearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, Sir. The VICE-CHANCELLOR- - I see this is an exception to a report, which report was not made until the 4th of June in last year. How can there be any arrears? If this exception to a report made on the 4th of June, 1850, is coming on now in its due course, there can be no arrears. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—They may have arisen sine?. The Vieu CHANCELLOR—They are not arrears. A number of cases and the existence of arrears is a totally different thing. At present there is no arrear. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—It is rather a❑ apprehen sion that there Rill be. The VICE•CITANCELLOR—Thera is at present cer tainly no arrear. At the conclusion of the arguments, His HONOUR said that, perhaps, there was some defi ciency as to the trenelling or plugi.king, and in the num ber of chairs; but as no accident had occurred, and as the reduction of the number of chairs had been sanc tioned by the plaintiff's employers, and as perfection in p 1 1: ; .
