The House of Commons last night rejected the motion of Mr. WATso:s for going into Committee upon his Roman CAtholic Relief Bill. Sir R. Isous's amendment fur thrcwi , )g out the Bill altogether was carried by a majority of 39 in a division comprising 277 Members. We very much regret this decision. 'Ma arguments that were adduced in its favour are vary far from reconciling us to its propriety. They were at once weak and. bigoted. If they could be considered tenable, then not only was the Bill de servedly lost, b ut th.v f urnish , abunda nt reason for repealing all that h as been a ted by the L eg i s l a t ure Catholics in favour of the Roman4n since 1829. B u t retrac e the steps does any one dream th a t we ma we have taken on behalf of liberty conscience e Can it be now-a-days questioned that freedomin from persecution on account of religiou s b e li ef is the rule which governs modern legislation i n all where it is alleged that men are abridged inltthers.r ' civil rights by reason of their having embraced a particular creed ? Over and over again, o f late years, has Parliament repudiated the principle that a man's religious tenets should subject him to civil disabilities. The Govern ment last night faithfully adhered to the cause of religious liberty. Their opponents admitted that, in accordance with the spirit of the conce=sions made within the last eighteen years, the Roman Catholics laboured under certain statutable grievances, but urged there was no necessity for removing them, in asmueh as they were practically inozerative._ This, however, appears to us to be a good ground for their abolition. In the first place, our cumbrous statute-book should be purged of laws that have fallen into desuetude; and, in the next, it is ungra cious, so far as the letter of the law is con cerned, to subject a numerous class of religionists to humiliating penalties. The desire to retain the enactments complained of, after they blot become obsolete, can only be explained by a suspicion being I entertained that the emancipated will exert their privileges to the subversion of the Established reli gion. Now, those who harbour this opinion, which, however, Parliament in the aggregate, after solemn argument, has more than once, in our times, and on very momentous occasions, refused to sanction, take up a position from which it might be inferred they distrusted the excellence of their own faith. But, assuming, as no doubt we may, that the high Churchmen have an unbounded belief in the truth of the Protestant religion, and admitting, for the sake of argument, the suspicion above adverted to to be well-founded, why should they dread that theological discussion would increase the number of followers of a different creed to their own ? and if they do not lean to this fear, why debar others from the full en joyment of the civil privileges with which they are themselves invested ? The political incidents which marked the reign of CHARLES 11. bear no analogy to those which distinguish that of our present SOI/13 REIGN. The age of the former does not admit of a comparison with that of the latter in regard to re ligious toleration. We are far too enlightened to re quire the severe defences which our ancestors set up nearly two centuries since for the maintenance of the Protestant religion. We can safely dispense with the rusty and useless armoury which Mr. WATSON has di s covered to be still hanging upon the walls of the constitution. It consists only of weapons which serve neither for use nor ornament ; on the contrary, their retention is justly regarded as a gratuitous in sult to the religious communities whom we have ele vated to a participation in the highest honours and dignities of the State. Whilst we lament the division in the House of Commons, we feel certain that, in the next Parliament, the Roman Catholics will have justice done to their reasonable requirements. On the eve of a dissolution it is not improbable that many Members gave their votes more with the view of gaining favour in the eyes of their constituencies, than of acting up to their own enlightened impressions. Others there were who are always kept in strait-waistcoats by their electors upon religious questions. It is, there fore, easy enough to construe such speeches as were last night delivered by the representatives of the Universities. Colonel WrLim has been eclipsed by his Spanish rival, Colonel BUENAGO. The former is no longer— to employ the pet soubriquet of Tom STEELE—the " Head Pacificator " in Portugal. We know no language sufficiently contemptuous in which to cha racterise the civil war in Lusitania. Without system even of the most shadowy description, without zeal even of the most superficial kind, without consistency, without courage, without aim, the Royalist leaders have been dallying northwards of the capital, satisfy ing th irprofessional habits with reconnoitering, their vain-glory with bravado, and their stomachs with ra tions. The important and astounding intelligence has just arrived by the latest Peninsular dispatches, that Field-Marshal SA.LDANH♦ has plucked up suffi cient courage to edge a few inches nearer Oporto. Enough good humour still survives this bellicose movement, however, to enable the belligerent forces to celebrate the anniversary of Queen MARIA'S birthday by drinking health and prosperity to her MAJESTY on the banks of the Douro and at Oliveira de A zemais. Health and prosperity from insurgents leagued against her authority ! Health and pros perity from men who are ruining her cause by their dilatoriness or their absolute poltroonery. The national farce is almost elevated by this sarcastic conviviality into a satirical comedy. The lips of the revellers, both in the camp of the Loyalist com mander and in the chambers of the Junta, must have curled with derision while quailing this most ironical toast! Around the unfortunate SOVEREIGN of this very restless and dissatisfied race, more troubles are collecting than could have been for merly anticipated even by her most lugu• brious and least sanguine supporters. Instead of quelling her antagonists by a valorous and timely employment of her military powers, instead of con ciliating them by magnanimous and really advisable concessions, Queen MARIA DA GLORIA has, by her reliance upon SALDANHA and his associates, still fur ther estranged from her the affections of the Portu giwse. Both those courses were open for her MA-. JES'I Y'S adoption, and she avoided them as though they were not recommended by prudence. A graceful concession might have been made, and yet her MA JESTY preferred to enhance the odium attached to the present Administration by a pertinacious refusal. A hold stroke for the annihilation of the revolting party might have Leen made upon the first outbreak, yet her MAJESTY'S Generalissimo has allowed that invaluable moment to slip from him without any preliminary struggle or any subsequent compunction. The achievements of SAL DANHA are little less paltry than those of Major STURGEON, and unquestionably in regard to Torres Vedras and Val do Passos, they are much less cre ditable. For bare honour, as a subject not totally devoid of locally, and as a soldier not altogether divested of bravery, we might have conjectured that this redoubtable champion of the Portuguese Monarch would have finished the present miseries of his native land, either by some sagacious strategies cr by a valiant sword-blow. If he could not unravel the knot, he had it at least in his power to imitate the conduct of A LFX. SNDER, in cutting . the entangled harness on the Phrygian chariot, by severing its involutions. But SALDANHA had a greater relish for a picturesque bivouac on tha frontiers of Minh() than for a charge upon the bayonets Lf Das Asaas. His digestion was more fitted to the confections of the mess-table thin to the banquet of carrion promised by the armed battlements of Oporto. lie had no partiality fur that field of apothecary-work where "Forty cannon throw up their emetic, And thirty thousand muskets ding their pills !" Meanwhile the beleaguered Junta has mustered its strength behind the ramparts of the city, and under the shelter of SALDANII A'S tar diness. It has proceeded further. It has not merely accumulated considerable numbers of well-appointed and well-disciplined men in that famous burgh for wine-exporting and fur wine bibbing—it has dispatched a compact body of 900 soldiers to the southern shores of Algarve, with a competent leader in the person Of SA DA B AN DEIRA. By this extraordinary deportation to the other extre mity of the kingdom, the popular cause must neces sarily acquire wonderful stability, while an insurrec tionary movement may be readily organised in the Alemtejo by tlas combined forces of SA DI BANDEIRA and the Conde DE MELLO. It is probable that before many days have elapsed we shall re ceive intelligence of the junction of their troops at Evora. Then, unquestionably, the embarassments of SALDANHA will be considerably more than doubled. 'The throne is tottering as much from its tremulous supporters as from its active and enterprising antago nists. The Loyalists are verbally striving to prevent the royal garland from being torn from the head of DONNA llama, but the pressure of their hands is driving the thorns into her temples. Let her Lusitanian MAJESTY beware, for the Junta have a terrible alternative. They remember the lessons afforded by the Gallic and British histories—they may take example by the HARLES X.

ADRID BOLSA, Arm B.—The Three per Cents. were done at 32* for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 20* ; the Debt without interest at 6*; and the Cou pons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Climber Tif Deputiti voted on Dionday ) by a r.a4ority of 215 to 27, the project of law, authorising the return, under certain circumstances, of the caution money de posited by the railroad companies. By this Bill, so soon as a sum equal to double the amount of the se curity money lodged with Government shall have been expended upon the railway, in the manner re quired by law, then the Minister of Public Works is empowered to return to the companies the caution money deposited. The Journal des Dirbuts considers this a very insignificant attempt at remedying a great evil It says— " The Chernher of D , puties. in its sitting of yesterday, discus:cd and adopted the Bill relative to the restitution of the caution money of railway companies. A year ago, when such qu: stions were brought before the Cham ber, they caused perfect storms. Yesterday the assem bly gave only a distracted attention to the Bid under discussion. It was because this Bill is only an insigni ficaut palliative to a very grave situation, which every one in the Chamber knows, and which no one would resolutely touch upon. Yes, the situation of must of our greet railway enterprises is grave. That is unhap pily notorious to everybody ; there is no danger in saying it; on the contrary, there would be in not avowing it loudly. If a prompt remedy be not brought, the work pursued by the country during numerous years, and which has already cost it so many eflbrts, this incessant object of so many wishes from one end of the kingdom to the other, will find itself, if not compromised, at least in definitely delayed in its most essential parts. There are companies which have undertaken netting, which have not struck a single blow with the pickaxe, anti which will certainly dissolve themselves, if an alteration be not made in the conditions imposed upon them ; they will prefer, with reason, a liquidation which will be less onerous, even with the loss of their caution money, than the enterprise itself. There are ethers who have, on the contrary, pushed forward the first works with great activity, and whose shares have undergone a notable depreciation ; if those companies do not stop their works, they will be under the necessity of conduct ing them with prudent slowness, because their share holders will be unable to pay up calls too close upon each other. All, in short, or almost all, are soliciting the revision of their contracts from the Government,. What will the Government do ? Such was the ques tion which preoccupied the minds of the Deputies of the Chamber during the discussion, and which now oc cupies the attention of a great many persons out of the Chamber. To do nothing, absolutely nothing, with out distinguishing between the most important lines, and those which are less important, would be a deplorable resolution. We hope that such is not the intention of the Minister of Public Works. A belief that it is not, is also, without doubt, enter tained in the Chamber, fur two or three orators went there to oppose the favourable dispositions which they suppose the Government entertains with respect to the companies. It is true that those orators are the eternal enemies of railways ; they are those who maintained that the Northern Railway ought not to be conceded for more than eighteen years, that the Lyons Railway would find a company to take it for twenty years, and that the companies with such conditions would make immense profits ; they are those profourd statisticians who found the estimates of the Government exaggerated in the chapter of expenses, and understated in the chapter of receipts. They may attribute to themselves the best part of the errors of the country, with respect to the railways, and by consequence the sad reaction cf which we are witnesses. That ought to render them somewhat circumspect. But circumspection brie never been a virtue of the Opposition, and it appears that it is now a virtue exclusively reserved to the Govern ment. We will say very explicitly our opinion on this important question: it seems to us impossible to do nothing to ameliorate the situation of railway euterpriees. Solemn contracts would have to be changed, and we know that that is a serious matter; but is it not also a grave thing to see the most important line of our rail ways menaced with an indefinite adjournment? No one would seriously give such advice, and still less would any one consent to accept it. This i 3 not a:suredly to say, that all demands must be admitted. These recom mended by a great public) interest must be received, arid nothing elsa thought of. Many other censidei &lions, at the time the laws on railways were under discusssion, influ ence the decisions of the Government and the Chambers; they ought to disappear. The circumstances are grave enough to cause a renunciation to to be made of the weaknesses and complaisance of preceding days. It is besides easy to say atter what principles the demands of the companies ()Hetet to be appreciated; it seems to us that it should be first of all ascertained if the lino for which assistance is claimed be one of those which should be made quickly, and afterwards if the changes demanded are necessary to the prompt termination of the line. Now, no one will deny that the execution of the great line which goes from Paris to Marseilles, which is to join the Mediterranean to the Channel, is not of superior and urgent interest, is not an affair of State of the first importance. '1 his line must be made, must be made promptly, must be made at every price. A day lest is an irreparable fault. It is certain that it the Government and the Chambers do nothing for this great line, a !tremble fraction, that from Lyons to Avig non, will be made in the Greek Calends, and that the first which goes from Paris to Lyons will be long delayed. This result is not possible. It would be a disgrace to our time, and a grave responsibility for the Chambers. It is possible, besides, to conciliate the interers of the Treasury- and that of the companies. But where would be the harm if onerous embranchments were adjourned? Would it not be he tter to postpone the execution of an embranchment than to postpone all?" General MANUEL DR LA CONCHA arrived in Paris on Monday, and immediately announced his arrival to Queen CHRISTINA, through the Spanish Charge d'Affaires. lie signified to her that he came in a private, not in a public character, and was received by CHRISTINA at ten o'clock on :Monday evening. The letters patent naturalizing MUNOZ, Duke of Rianaares, as a Frenchman, and conferring upon him the title of Duc de Montmoro, were enrolled in the Cour Royale on Monday. We congratulate the nobility of France upon this honourable accession to their ranks. The Countess of BRESSOR and her son arrived in Paris on Monday. It would appear from the following article, which appears in the Presse, that CHRISTINA, finding threats of no avail with the new SpaniAh Ministry, is about, as a last resource, to try coaxing and flattery. It say F— " We cannot know exactly what may be true or ex agerated in all the symptoms which produce so great an agitation. What is evident-is, -that the friends of order are in consternation, the Progressists joyful, that the journals of the Ministry appear greatly discouraged, and that the Herald° ' naturally not very iimi.l, and which does cot cry for help aithout grave motives, foresees deplorable eveils. All the parties, each one taking its own ro'nt of view, fi ar, desire. (I,ntlit, and hope. What is most remnrkabie is, that, in the midst or this agitation, all eyes are turned towards the Ministry, end that, every one hopitg t i make it serve the accompl.shment of its projt.cts, no ono thinks of openly ei,psieg it. This state is intolerable, and at the point at which things are, everything may be conceived. The Ministry should take some step, fur, since the dismissal of the persons who surrounded the Queen, the Progressists affect to take the defence of the Government, and to applaud its tendencies. These are mere tactics, but we must not allow it to be believed that these congratulations are accepted in the sense which is given to them. It is the more important and urgent for the Ministry to explain itself on account of some of its acts and certain rumours which would ren der a longer silence very significative." The same journal again announces that it is ex tremely probable that the Emperor of RUSSIA will visit Paris in the course of the summer. The report of the resignation of the Greek Minister is, it seems, at least premature. In the Chamber of Deputies he had a majority of 20 on a question in volving the character of the Minister of Finance. It was reported in Paris that France would furnish Greece with the money to pay the debt due to England. The Courrier Francais publishes the following letter on the subject of the differences between Greece awl Turkey The following details respecting the facts which may have occasioned the report of the doe nfal of the Colletti Ministry I guarantee to you to be authentic. It appears that after the receipt of the diTatches from Constantinople, containing the ultimatum of the Otto man Government, a Cabinet Commit was caVed, and M. Colletti declared that he. could not accept such conditions without dishonouring himself, and that if any other pereon could devise means to arrange the difference suitably, he was ready to withdraw. In this state of things Sir E. Lyons visited the Kinc , , and after having depicted the situation as exceedinglY grave, recommended him to apply to M. Mavracordero. The King sent for that gentleman, and inquired what system he should propose to follow in case he w:ls placed at the head of affairs. M. Mavrocordato replied that he was of opinion that it would be well to yield, and that he saw no inconvenience in the return of M. MuPurtts to Athens. The King observed that that diplomatist was in continual hostility with his Majesty's Government, against which he was constantly starting difficulties; that in a short time another ddficulty would arise; that. such a state of things was not endurable, and that he preferred putting an end to it at once. M. Mavrocordato then withdrew, and there the matter rested. It was thought at Athens that the King, notwithstanding his feeling towards M. Colati and his administration, would, in consequence of the demands of England relative to the debt, be -obliged to sacrifice him. At the date of the last news there was only one French vessel of war at the Pirteui, and M. Placatory had sent an express to the commander of our station to request him to concentrate his forces there." The Slide has the following on the differences be tween the Ministry and the Committee of the Cham ber appointed to examine the estimates for - Algeria : "We have noticed the differences which have pri t_ ain eorda b n e s t iwd we eurr e a n ;t the-Ministry and the committee on the extraordinary credits demanded for Africa.

Thy report which we eleativsid Tederun of els THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1847. appearance of AND•EL-KABER in considerable force in the neighbourhoiAl of Mascara is confirmed. The Ministers it is said have received some very serious in formation on the subject. Both the Siecle and the Commerce express their approval of the Bill for re forming the Tariff, as e step in the right direction. The Education Bill, which has just been printed, gives great offence to all parties in France. The effect of this measure, if carried, will be to transfer all power of controlling education to the Jesuits, and to submit the university professors and the heads of schools to the priests, by a system of grinding tyranny and debasing espionage, to which no honourable, liberal-minded, or well-educated man will submit. It is just such a measure as might have been expected from the Villele or the Polignac Ministry of the restoration, but certainly no one expected to see the revolution of July producing such fruits. The opposition to the Bill will be most formidable, and there is every probability that the Ministry will be defeated. Accounts were said to have reached Paris on Tuesday, that the tempestuous and otherwise incle ment weather, encountered by Mr. O'CoNNELL on his routesouthwards, was continuing to produce upon him unfavourable effects. For example, when in Paris his appetite was excellent ; those letters were said to state, among other unpleasant symptoms, that it had been much impaired. The French Funds improved on Tuesday. Early in the day a favourable tendency was perceptible in the transactions of " the coulisse." When business commenced regularly this inclination became more decided, and the Three per Cents. rose to 78f. It was then reported that a new fall of s per cent. took place in London on Monday, which caused prices to recede-that of the Three per Cents. to 77f. 70c. Another rumour stated, however, that Con sols had, on the contrary, risen per cent. in London. A new reaction took place in consequence, and that stock left off at 77f. 95 (buyers) ; the Five per Cents. 115 f. 80c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,222 f, 50c.; Rouen, BSOf. ; Havre, 668 f. 75c. ; Great Northern, 623 f. 75e.; Avignon, 770 f.; Vierzon, 560 f.; Bordeaux, 510 f.; Troyes and Montereau, 300 f. ; Basle, 192 e. 50e. ; Dieppe, 320 f. ; Paris and Strasburg. 427 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 422 F. 50e.; Paris and Lyons, 431 f. 25e, ; Lyons and Avignon, 455 f.; Cette, 445 f.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, 1,000 bales being American, tacen on speculation. The market was dull, though at about previous rates. American realised 64d. to 74d. per lb. In Railway Shares the business acne was limited, and prices did not exhibit any improvement. We have no account yet of the steamer from Halifax. Money in the di.-count market is worth about 51- to 54 per cent. on good bilis, short dates having still a very decided preference. It is not expected that the directors of the Bank of England will yet further advance the it terms for accommodation, as they limit it even at the comparatively high rate recently established. An im portant work at the present juncture, " Doubleday's Financial History of England," shows that in the errliest career of the establishment there was consid. r able variation in its terms of discount. The author remarks: " On its commencing business, the Bank seems to have charged the highest legal rate of interest, 6 per cent. upon all bills discounted, whether foreign, or inland, or home bills. In a few days, however, it ap pears to have been found politic to reduce the rate of discount upon foreign bills to 44 per cent. In 1695, in January, in order to increase the business of the con • cei n, another course was adopted. Foreign bills, except ing at short dates, were again discounted at the rate of 6 per cent., and inland or home hills at 44 per cent. ; but i.e persons who would keep an account with the Bag.k, an inducement was h‘l.l out for doing so, in the shape of a reduction to such persons of half the discount on foreign bills, the rate of which was thus, in these cases. reduced as low as 3 per cent.—a novel rate in these days ! In the following May, despite of these relaxa tions, the ' Governor and Company' seem to have been driven to further expedients ; and, for a time, ail short-dated running bills or notes were taken bit discount at the novel rate of 3 per cent.; and not con tent with this, the Court of Directors gave notice of their readiness 'to lend money ;' -that is to say, their notes, upon plate, lead, tin; copper, steel, and iron,' at, 4 per cent. per. annum." These changes were even more frequent than at pre- sent, but the power of the Threadneet'le-street magi:arcs was then limited indeed, either for good or oil, corn • pared to what it is no►v. - The Funds are not ao supported as they were yesterday, but i;usinesg: is slack.

The appeal motion also asked for the dissolution of the injuiteti.m. The case occupied his Lordship the %hole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) LATOUR V. HOLCOMBE. Mr. PALMER, oh the part of the assignees of the plaintiff, moved for an order to dismiss the bill with costs. It apparel th4t the plaintiff (Colonel Latour) became bankrupt, and his estate was sold by his as signees to the defendant. The rlaintiff filed n bill, to which the d, , lndant demurred, which was dismissed, and the plaintiff had beau in prison since for the costs of that suit. Mr. KINDEBSLET (who, with Mr. Hilderton, appeared for the plaintiff) stated that his client had been very badly treated by his assignees, and that the Vice- Chawellor, before whom the former cause was heard, had expres - sed a Very strong opinion in favour of the plaintiff's case, supposing the allegations in his bill were substantiated. Ilia cli,nt had every hope, in the course of a month or six wt eks; of being able to raise the funds requisite to di: charge the costs tier which he was detained. iiis LORDSHIP (at the conclusion of the arguments) said that the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to the protection ~t the Court on a motion for the dismissal of a bill with cots. At the same tun-. nothing should be done to the der gation of the rights of the defendants, who had performed their duty in reference to the pro ceedings before the Court. Before the plaintiff became entitled to the delay which he sought for he should make out a reasonable cause for the interference of the Court on his behalf. He did not think that such a case had been made in the present instance, and be would grant the injunction. SAUNDERSON V. THE COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY. The was a motion fur an injunction to restrain the defendants from opening their line, under the following circumstances:—The railway passed through a portion of the plaintiff's property, and by a contract of the 2.1 of March, 1846, the defendants agreed to afford a suitable accommodation for the plaintiffs cattle. This they pro posed to do by a tunnel under the railway, with which the plaintiff was dissatisfied, and insisted upon their erecting a bridge or giving him a compensa tione of 260/. The defendants refused to accede to his demand, but offered him 1004 and the plaintiff instituted the proceedings. It was contended, on the part of the defendants, that the ve tt r hw y ea t z e r r ni m dotg s e o i f i expected ltt question e e s o t n ibo t y thernae;tt.h' plaintiff a l ihiffpnest should o r tuh e la a dt t t il l eh;s howed should sought erect tha t it redress from the justices of peace at quarter sessions txf ,re applying to the court; that it would be almost im practicable, consistent with the purposes of the railway, to make the bridge in question, and that the defendant should have instituted this suit before, and not have de layed till the completion of the line. Mr. Ktndersley and another Learned Gentleman ap peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Turner and Mr. Matins for the defendants. The arguments in this case, which were commenced before the nolizlays, were resumed end concluded to-day.

THE QUEEN V. ADAMS. Mr. LIISTI moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the bodies of two elderly females. who had be: n con fined in \V bitecross-street Primal, and also applied for their discharge, as they had been in prison since 1844. They had pleaded guilty to an ilactment, and he pro secutor had refused to pray the judgment of the Court upon them, and the consequence was that they had been detained in custody ever since, and had been maintained at a considerable expense to the justices. Mr. PEACOCK, on behalf of t►ie prosecutor, said that the. defendants were committed on a former occasion for contempt of court, and they had since repeated the libel. Lord DENMAN, after making some inquiries, said they had not Lan committed for contempt, but merely on the indictment for a libel. Mr. P4Acocx applied to t! e Court for time to allow the prosecutor t.. put in some affidavits before the parties were brought up for judgment. Lord DENmits---We cannot keep them in prison to please your client. If they repeat the libel you can hare them punished again, but as thy have been so long con fined I think that they had better be brought up. Mr. Ltisu said that the parties were present. Lord DENMAN—Then let them come forward. Miss Frances Adams and Miss Mary Anne Susannah Adams were then brought forward. Lord DENMAN—You are now brought np for judg ment tor a must serious offence, on which you have al lowed judgment to go by de'ault. You have been in custody for a very big Court thinks that punishment enough. Ihe judgment Of the Court is that you each pay a fine of one shilling to the Queen, and enter into your own recogniz 'aces in WU each to be of good behaviour for the next two years. The Remewbrancer then proceeded to read the form of recognizance, and said—You and each of you owe to our sovereign lady the Queen the sum of 1001. Miss Mary Anne—We owe 1001.? How 'do WO OW6 the (Item 101? We to wet cm be 311414. _ The COURT—You must pay her a fine of a shilling. Miss Frances Adams—Pay her a shilling! —no, nor a penny. Lord DENMAN—You must not repeat; the offence; that is all you bind yourselves to. The two ladies at once—We have never misbehaved ourstive s—the Lord DENMAN—You must not use such language. The Remeintnancer (showing the form of recogni zance)—Read this. Mi;a Mary Anne Adams—We won's leave the Court, we are detyrt;:ined to have justice. Lord DENsuN—There is la, harm intended to you, they are merely words. You only promise that you %sill not repeat the offence. 111 i,; Fran. Adams—Oh, won't we though ? Yes The R tnemoiaticvr having read the form of rec.g nizance, an attempt was made to remove the ladies. frieir removal was, however, a m4tter of much difficulty, for one fastened on the Solicitor-General, while the other firmly grasped the Attorney General. The usher of the Court attempted to remove them, but without success for some time, until the assistaice of the police called in, when the ladies were taken out amidst shout:, of laughter, in which the Bench joined.

From the evidence on the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the defendant ordered a chimney glass, but on its being taken home deteudaut ca mplained that there were imperfections hi the frame, and said he could not receive it unless it was repaired. This was done, but when it was taken back again the defendant re fused to take it. Mr. FISH, on behalf of the defendant, contended tha this was no delivery, ard, therefore, that the present action could not be maintained. The UNDER-SHERIFF held that there was evidence to go to a jury. A witness was then called, who said that the glass was retuned by the cielrndant from the first, and that, although improved ghee it was tendered, it was still imperfect. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and the jury gave a verdict tor the plaintiff for the amount claimed. These cases occupied th«+ whole of the morning. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) Henry &nit ke, a cab-driver, was charged before Mr. Seeker with being concerned with two other men (not in custody) in breaking into the premises of Mess, s. Clarke tnd Whitby, of the Dover-rizd, and stealing plate and articles of bilk amounting to upwards of 1501 It appeared that a policeman of the M divis on, while on duty that morning in the Dover-road, was informed by a ti,ranger that some goods were teen to be brought up through an iron grating by two suspicious looking men. He followed these men, and saw them approach a cab and di. posis a bundle in it, after which the vehicle was driven forwards towards lane, and the two men escaued. The policem-tn went in pur suit of the cab, wnieh was driven by the prison , r, and succeeded in copping it, and inside it he found several articles of piste, besides up wards of 1001. worth of silk articles of various descrip tions. Wt.-n iniormation was subsequently given of the circumstances at the house of the above firm, it was dis covered that an entry had been effected into the pre mises by lilting up an iron-grating, which led into a cellar underneath the warehouse, from which articles of silk, to the value of upwards of 1501., had been packed up ready for removal. The quantity of silk di.c.,vered in the cab was worth upwards of 1001., but the other portion was lett behind, it being supposed the thieves were disturbed. The prisoner said that he was hired by two men off the stand in Aldersgate-street, to take them to Kent street, where he was to wait for them, and they returned with a bundle, and, placing it in the cab, desired him to drive to Bermondsey Church, and that they would meet him there. lie added, that he had nothing to do with the robbery of which he was ignorant until stopped by the policeman. Mr. bECKER remanded the prisoner for a week, until the other men were taken into en4tnely. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young Ci—rman, names! John Pohl, who stated th al he had been resident in this country ahmt five years. was charged beu re Mr. Greenwooq with tukkiti...-; an attempt to shoot Mr. James Alircd !Lye, tobacconist, td 34, Red Lion street, Holborn. Mr. III) e stated that last night he saw the prisoner walking up and down before the tutor of his (Aoness's) shop, and oaing to the prisoner having on ,weral for mer occasions swore that he would take his life, tie be came al,run d, and pi evious to closing his shop rt quest, d Lao constables, who were on duty in the nen , libourho , d, to k'ep a ciose watch upon the prisoner whit , he (Mr. 11..t)e) was putting up his shutters. Before closing the shop, he stood at the door watching the prisoner, when he saw him ha:f concealed in the recess of a public house door, nod evidently observing; him most intt nsely. As he (Mr. II Lye) had put up the first shutter, he heard the click of a I i.toi lick, and upon turning round he saw the prisoner standing at the other side of the street, with a pistol directed towards him. The two policemen came up and took the pistol from him. It was found to be loaded, and the hammer was down. In reply to Mr. Greenwood, the prosecutor stated that about twelve months ago he was compelled to exhibit articles of the peace against the prisoner at the sessions. in consequence of which he was kept in prison fur nearly six months. Police constable E 35, produced the pistol which he took from the prisoner ; it was a brass screw barrel, and had one of the old flint and steel locks. He also product d the charge which had been drawn from it, and instead of a bullet a round stone was placed over the powder. The prisoner aimed the pistol directly at Mr. Hayes. The prisoner said with much emphasis and determina tion of manner. " I ant sorry I (IA not shoot him long ag o—he knot‘s he has been the ruin of me." Tin , depositions were then made out, and the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial on the charge of feloni,u-ly shooting at Mr. Hayes. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE AD.ITUR OF THE SUN. etyl SIR,—As I anticipated in my last epistle, the colt, otherwise Clermont, has found his opponents to good for him at Bath, he having run a bad third to BI T Burns and Rosin the Bow. The Handicap was infinite/. ' better than that of Newmarket; here Miss Burns I must confess I was rather astonished to find the winner) had to give Clermont a very fair weight, 2st 81b; while . Rosin the Bow, a half bred son of Venison, only gall 101 b for his sear. After this performance Clerino l3 4 must res'gri all pretensions to te Chester Cu as Reel as the Metropolitin StAkes; force latter he will Pr ° : bably run tor,urd, but nothin g more .

OF THE SUN- . 0 g Sin,—l beg to offer for your acceptance the folloetc remarks on the Newmarket First Spring Maces, wi ll commence on Monday. The first race on the list is a Sweepstakes of 50L ettc; for which there are twelve subscribers, including Fi anc e e and the King of Morreel. Looking to the perform of the latter, I think he will be found good enough og maintain the honours of the stable, especially as FIII P has so many other important engagements. Thenexta lthough race I m pn must on t also es ie a r w a m r a d y t to start,the G he oo c te4 stable, for have had sufficient preparation to compete with Deli' me-care. Two matches, to be run for by animals of no merit , conclude the day's sport. Tuesday's list contains the all-important Two Thotri sand Guineas Stakes, for which there will be a fi eld about six or eight, including Glentilt, or Gabble, Li b m e ratter, Zipporah colt, Sister to Cobweb colt, Conyoght; Christopher, and most likely one of Forth's. I Ce ll ," h is have the Liberator, notwithstanding the vauntings " - c is owner. Christopher's public performances are not S. as to warrant me in selecting him as the winner; h oe nyngham's merits are as yet a sealed book, but as i"11-0 considerable respect for the judgment of J. Day , f, - t hr t I must caution }our readers not to hold him too lig"' IP Glentilt is decidedly the best public performed lio rie t i l e the race, and to him and John Day's crack I look f or ,„ winner. Howevn-, as Ido not profess to be in the "po creta of the stabl o , e., Kent's, I leave it quite en c rt, creEtion, after the declaration made at - Newo er L e t ► witch of their hors=es will start, remarking, en P as- that the betting p rev i ous ly to t h e d ec l ar ation Win ci been made indi c at e d ve ry c l ear ly t h a t Pl an et wa s 23 intended for t. The Three Hundred Sovs. Stakes, for four Yrgia as though Scott's stable will win, either vwith , ford or Mowtrina. tilf' The Ceffee-ro-m Stakes is a certainty for PM ° should h. be in his right form. the On Wednesday there are only two races, besid=e if matches; for the first I select Projectile, if be mine' not, then Coningshy. foist Ce.nseiraey will win tho Handicap race for years old. The match between Alarm and The Traverser, i4 whio the latter receives a stone tier his year, will , if P i l o ' bee a very spurring affair. I don't think Alarm can g-a the w e ght, a shut t length evidently suiting the you one best. The other matches will most likely end in forfeits! the There are only two races also on Thursday, .iitx„ first, a Hundred Sovs. Sweepstakes, has eight n°° : , l tams, with nothing that can have a chance with 13"103 and Halo. The former, although I do not think i` good enough for the Derby, must surely be able to this, though with nothing to spare. hic h The One Thousand Soya. Stiekes, for fillies, is w fa t' the names of Clementina and Slander are found, will nish a clue to the chance s of th: , se two for the oa, " I have a leaning to Clementine, with Slander close 1 1:, The first race on Friday looks like a certainty for Duke of Bedford, with either Bridle or Fistiana. ~0 1 Reminixence cannot lose 0- e next race; and the tu• I accord to Sir J. Ilawle}'s Piccinino. The Newraiirket Stakes will be a race of sonseacit portance, inasmuch as Epirote, War Eagle, and C °ss heo, are likely to be ?itteed against each other. To these. t, I leave the race, and select War Eagle to win, Err second. The match will certainly be a forfeit for War Eagl. I am, Sir, &c.
