It is confidently stated, in what may be termed well informed quarters, that a batch of from twelve to fifteen Peers will be Gazetted this evening. We hope so ; but three times the number would afford the country tenfold more satisfaction. The publication of the Quarter's Revenue must prove a death-blow to the falsehoods of the Anti-Reformers ; for it now appears that instead of a deficiency of more than half a million, there is actually an increase of nearly a quarter of a million ! It is, therefore, evident, that the Ultra-Tory Prints prophecied their wishes, and must be satisfied with the fate of all false prophets and factious politicians—the well-me rited contempt of the public. From the recent allusions by Lord ALTHORP to the state of the Revenue, it was expected that there would be a deficiency in the present quarter as compared with the corresponding one of last year, and the manifest im provement will be hailed as an earnest of returning prosperity in those branches of taxa tion more immediately affecting the working classes. In the Excise there is an improvement of 271,613/. ; in the stamps 66,785/.; taxes 124,070 ; and in the Post-office and Miscella neous 13,470/., making altogether an increase of 475,868/. for the quarter. The only decrease is in the customs, amounting to 252,5081. which deducted, makes the increase on the quarter 2 23,360/. The deficiency in the Customs is easily accounted for; indeed the wonder is, that it i s not much greater, considering the embarrass ment occasioned by the restrictions on our shipping, in consequence of quarantine and cholera niorbus. The total decrease on the year amounts to 3,059,473/. which is chiefly to be accounted for by the reduction of taxes, and the stagnation in variou s departments of trade caused by delay in settling the Reform Bill. That measure, once happily carried, will in fuse an energy and enterprise into our manu facturing, commercial, and agricultural interests that cannot fail to improve the revenue so con siderably as to enable Lord A LTHORP to redeem his promised modification or reduction of those taxes that press most injuriously upon the indus trious classes. But until the Reform question be disposed of, it is impossible for any Minis ter to grapple effectually with our Ult ra - Tory i n i quitous, because J partial system of taxation. It has hitherto been the prac tice to tax the many for the benefit of the few ; but henceforth a Reformed Parliament will apportion the taxes to the ability of the people in such a manner that all may con tribute to the service of the country. Our own opinion is, that a justly graduated property tax would be the cheapest, the most productive, and the most certain mode of collectin g a revenue, and that too in the most popular manner. But this can only be done by a Reformed Parlia ment : hence the absolute, the urgent necessity of carrying a measure, pregnant with so many and such indispensable benefits to the commu nity. The great meeting of the West India proprie tors, and of the persons connected with the ex tensive commerce and complicated interests of the colonies, will produce a strong sensation throughout many parts of the empire. Ques tions are not to he reduced to mere theorems of pounds, shillings, and pence ; and inde pendent of financial views or political in terests, a host of sympathies and moral ob ligations must impel the Government, and induce the public to foster our colo nies as an integral portion of the United King dom. If the interests of the West India pro prietors are to be promoted, and their feelings held in respect, still must they not forget that humanity has its claims, and, that the people of England have rights which cannot be sa crificed to local prejudices or partial connexions. Those who addressed the great meetin g of yesterday (one of the largest we ever witnessed) seem e d to forget that their subject wa s by no means new, and that the doctrines they advanced were no longer speculative : an experience, beneficial to mankind, has long p r oved the fall acy of some, and the unim 7 porta= of - the remainder. All the disasters to the mother -country which are now pre dieted from a separation of the colonies, were piorhejedfrom the loss of North America, and I how preeminently the reverse was the result Eiery West India proprietor boasts of the im mense improvements made in the condition o the Slave population within the last twenty-fivt years, and they acknowledge that their in• terests have been benefited, and their perso nal respectability and happiness increased by this amelioration. Can these gentlemen forget that every improvement of which they now reap the benefit was forced upon the reluctant colonists, amidst their predictions of the massacre, revolt, and general ruin which would en sue from each measure ? We cannot expect profound wisdom or lucid views from men who are under the influence of self-interest ; and this may ac count for many of the very singular opi nions which were uttered yesterday by gentle men of unquestionable talents and great experi ence. We must observe that Lord HOLLAND, Lord CREWE, and several other titled and emi nent %Vest India proprietors, take no part in such meetings as those of yesterday. Mr. WATSON TAYLOR, Lord HAREWOOD, (a native of Bar badoes) and other proprietors, expatiated upon the mother-country losing 7,000,0001. of annual revenue and the benefit of 5,000,0001. of exports if the colonies were to be lost or ruined. Heaven forefend such a fate to the colonists ; but how palpably absurd are these fallacies ! Whence soever we derive our colonial produce, thither directly or indirectly must our exports be car ried in exchange. It is not the producers, but the consumers, that pay the 7,000,0001. of annual revenue upon colonial produce. Do Lord HAREWOOD and Mr. WATSON TAYLOR, and their brother proprietors, imagine that the Chi nese growers of tea pay the revenue of millions collected into our Exchequer upon their pro duce ? Were the sugar to come from China, and ►he tea from Jamaica, or both to come from the Brazils, as ere long they probably will come, the consumers in England alone must pay the ex cise and custom duties. Much was said yesterday about the injuries sustained by our former mo nopolists from the competition of the ceded colonies. 'We would ask, how is this to be prevented ? Are markets to be kept for ever small and restricted, that vendors may derive unnatural profits ? Can we sink the ceded co- lorries ? or are we to carry fire and sword to de stroy fertile estates, that old monopolists may enjoy their long-established profits? Is England to wage eternal war against the population of the East ? or can she restrain by treaty or force of arms the cultivation of South America, in order to sustain her Western Isles in their condition of a century ago ? The people of England are the most distressed in Europe, and they have a right to the hest and cheapest markets. At present, the toil-worn peasantry and manu facturing labourers are heavily taxed for dear tea, sugar, and other necessaries of life, in order to sup port a trading company to the East, and individual monopolists in the west. The transitory and even evanescent nature of property is unavoid able; and all men must lament the individual suf ferings produced by the transition. The West India proprietors speak in the language of our _ _ _ feudal aristocracy, whose possessions have de scended to them through ages. How many West India estates have descended through even three generations ? Whose were the immense estates of the BECKFORDS, the WATSON TAYLORS, the PALMERS, the THOM'S, or the HIBBERTS, even two generations ago ? When the wealthiest son of the Sugar Isles spoke yesterday with a personal indifference to the loss of his property, but with a lamentation at the injury which the arts and industry ofhisneieibourhood in England. would suffer by a diminished expenditure; without losing our respect for an exemplary gentleman or our veneration for the stability of property, we could not but reflect upon the " Quantum pul , veris ego excito." If one neighbourhood suf fers, another gains ; and to the community at large it is indifferent whether the affluence of commerce flow from the west or south, or to A, B, or C. It is astonishing that practical and successful merchants are so often utterly igno rant of any principles or theory of trade. One gen tleman yesterday said, " The increasing wealth of Russia or Spain can never benefit Great Britain, unless by the increasing demand it may occasion for British produce—(manufactures)." This is certainly a truism ; but when he said, There is not, perhaps, so much as 1,0001. per annum drawn by British subjects in rents from the continent of Europe," we can fancy the smiles of the many hundred affluent gentlemen whose capital is employed on the continent, and whose large estates have been derived from their trade. We believe that the policy of Ministers is eminently calculated to benefit the colonies, and to ward from them those terrible disasters which would inevitably and rapidly ensue, if the colo nists were left to the indulgence of their ultra feelings and antiquated notions, which were set forth at the great meeting of yesterday. The following are extracts from Lisbon and German Papers : MAxcn 14.—The official part of the Gazette contains a circular from the Minister of Ju'tice to the Corregidors of all parts of the kingdom, enjoining them to see to the strict execution of the edict of the Board of livalth, issued 2Sth February, in cwxy.equence of the ap pearance of the cholera in the north of England and the port of London. We have seen a letter worthy of credit from Figueira, which says that two vessels having approached the fort of that town at two o'clock in the morning of the 12th inst. the troops in garrison there thinking they b e l onge d to t h e rash and extravagant exptsiition of the rebels, imme diately repaired to their posts with the greatest enthu siasm. In the morning it appeared that the vessels were :rot enemies ; but this circumstance affords another proof of what the infamous enemies of their King and country have to expect fr.,rn the Portuguese troops, though they should come accompanied by some base foreigners, wh o , not being able to make their fortunes in their own country, desire to attain their object by pillage and rubbery in a country which never did them any injury. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, 31Aacti 20.—Judging by a ll that we hear from Constantinople, Sir S. Canning has succeeded in his mission, and the Sultan will give his con sent to the enlargement of the boundariesof Greece. The I great exertions which the I'orte is obliged to make against ;Mehemet Ali and the rebellious Boaniatis will not allow it to raise difficulties about Gram., which, considering the unanimous resolution of the mediating powets to have that •country placed on an independent footing, must lie in the end removed, and the protracted discussion of which might prove more prejudicial to the Porte. The Ist er is said to he now desirous of the speedy installation of a sovereign in Greece, in - order to put an end to the party contentions which are extremely injurious to the commerce of the Levant. At Constantinople the armaments are continu,al with great activity, and great convoys of all warlike stores )fiall kinds are sent after the troops that are on their march against the Egyptian army. The latter makes n, ;,eOgress in Syria, and Ibrahim Pacha appears to have sent to his father very unfavourable accounts of the state of his army, as Mehemet is said to lie now inclined to negociate with the Porte, and on certain con ditions to refrain from further hostilities. It is however ffirme.l, that the Porte is not satisfied with this, but de mands the unconditional submission of the Paella, who may therefore get into a critical situation, unless his con nexieni with the European Powers enable him to get bett-r terms of Constantinople. The rebellious Bosnians will now find it difficult to defend themselves, as Prince Nlilosch has engaged to furnish an auxiliary corps of 12.000 men, to act in concert with the Turks against the, rebels. The Porte itself has sent 15,000 men to the frontiers of Bosnia. Prince Milosch has hitherto taken great pains to induce the leader') of the insurgents, by advice and per suasion! to return to their obedience to the Ports'; but as they would not listen to him, and the malcontents in Servia seemed to enter with them into dan,eerous plots against himself, be has resolved to take the field against the Bosnians, and by their submission to oblige the Porte and consolidate his own authority. MUNICH, MARCH 26.—From all we can learn Prince Otto (or Otho), whose choice as Sovereign of Greece ex cites touch interest here, has instantly accepted,: with the consent of the King his father and the ratification of the great Powers, who have guaranteed the treaty, will not be long delayed. Our King will set out at the beginning of next month for the baths of Ischia, where lie will make but a short stay, and then go to Greece to choose the city in which his son shall reside. It is said that Counsellor Thiersch, who is now in Greece, has collected the most interesting information on this subject, and has sent hither may use ful details. By comparing all the circumstances it is easy to see that the journey of M. Thiersch to Greece was con nected with what is now passing. It is affirmed that a free corps of 2,000 men will be raised for the new King, with permission to return home after the expiration of two years ; a select corps of Russians and Prussians will, it is said, be added to the above. Colonel Heidieger will hold a high office in the Royal Household. M. Thiersch will be Minister from the Bavarian Court. It is said he will receive the insignia of the Order of Civil Merit. Our officers feel much interested in the event, and many of them are inclined to join in this interesting ei. pedition. - FRANKFORT, MARCH 29.—De Wirth is still under arrest. It is said that the tribunal at Deux Ponts has de cided that there are grounds to proceed against him. The Tribune, it seems, is still published, but we have not received any of the late numbers. M. Siebenpfitffer appears to hove announced the publication of the new journal, the Friend of the Family, which he had post poned, for want of subscribers. The Mayence Gazette ~ays, that M. George Fein, of Brunswick, one of the editors of the Tribune, has been conveyed as a prisoner beyond the boundaries of the circle of the Rhine. The attempt of the country people of the environs of Deux Pouts to release De Wirth from prison, was de feated by the citizens. Public tranquillity has not been disturbed since the false notion that De Wirth would be withdrawn from the jurisdiction of his natural Judges has been dispelled, and it is certain that he will be brought before the next assizes. The French papers of Wednesday have been received by express. They are chiefly occupied with discussions on the cholera, the Paris and provincial disturbances, &c. An ordinance has been published abolishing quarantine in the out-ports, and indeed through out France. This is wise, as experience proves that no restrictions have yet arrested the pro gress of cholera. The following are extracts : (From Gatignani's Messenger of Wednesday.) We stated yesterday that it was reported that attempts had been made to poison wine, in order to cast the odium upon toe Government. It is asserted that two men were taken into custody on the Boulevard St. Denis, on suspicion of attempting to infuse poison into the casks of some water cat riers. We al,o learn that shout nine o'clock last night a man was pointed out as having just thrown some poison into a wine-can at a wine-shop in the rue St. Denis, opposite the Passage du Caire. He was seized by some persons, who wished to take him to the guard-house; but the crowd soon increased. The charge of poisoning passed from mouth to mouth, and being received without exami nation, roused the anger of the multitude into fury. The armed force came to the spot to protect the accused, but their tfforts were useless; the unhappy man, notwith standing his protestations of innocence, was knocked down at the corner of the rue Ponceau, and taken up a mutiland corpse. Perhaps he was innocent; lout were he even guilty, it is not thus that he should have been judged and punished. On the other hand, we may mention, as a proof of the caution with which reports of this nature should be received, that it was stated yesterday that a wine-merchant in the Faubourg St. Honore had mortally wounded a man who was attempting to put poison into his wine-can ; and that a porter at an English eating-house had been poisoned at a wine-shop outside the barrier. An Even ing Paper also contained the following statement : " Yesterday morning two men drank some wine at a shop, No. 6, in the rue de la Sonnerie, and within five minut,s afterwards one of them was seized with violent cholics. The master of the house became alarmed, and resolving to ascertain whether the illness arose from the wine, tasted it himself; and after swallow- ing a few mouthfuls, was attacked with the same symp toms. They were both immediately taken to the neigh bouring post, and a rigid inquiry into the circumstances entered upon without a moment's delay, which it is hoped may elucidate the cause. The wine dealer died at four o'clock in the afternoon. We have not I,arnt the fate of the other man." We have sent to make _ _„...._ inquiries in , o all the above three cases, and find that the first is ss holly imaginary, and the latter two, though the individuals alluded to are really dead, equally false, as both the de.tths were the result of perfectly natural causes.— The bung-holes of the water-carts, stationed in the Place i'es Petits Peres were last night stopt by lids made of iron, and fastened by padlocks. This precaution, which will doubtless become general, must tranquillise the inhabi tants as to the salubrity of the water contained in those crsks. The Courrier Francais states that the period for the exchange of the ratifications of the Belgian Treaty is ex tended to the 10th instant, and attributes this to the m inceuvrts of the lepresentatives of the Northern Powers, in order that they may know the result of the debate on the second reading of the Reform Bill before take any de cisive step. We have the painful duty of announcing the death of the Viscount de Martignac, deputy for the department of the Lot and Garonne, which took place, at three o'clock yesterday, at his residence in Paris. His health had long been in a declining state, and the extraordinary exertions he made in defending Prince Polignac before the Court of Peers hAI a decided effect in increasing his debility. Since that period, he hail but rarely been able to attend to his legislative duties, and his splendid address on that occasion may be considi red the la•t em ination of his brilliant ge nius. Few public men have left behind them a reputa tion so unsullied by political or private errors, or a name around which the union of virtue and talent must shed a brighter halo of unclouded fame. THE CHOLERA. Since the last report there have occurred up to four o'clock yesterday 317 new cases, 193 of which are men, and 124 women. The number of fresh deaths has been 127, Of whom 91 are men, and 36 wa►nen. The total number of cases since the first appearance of the disease is now 1,052, and of deaths 395. Since the appearance of the cholera at Paris there have bee❑ 63 soldiers within the capital and the banlieues at tacked by the disease, of whom 20 have died, one has been cured, and 42 remain i❑ the hands of the faculty. The whole amount of these troops is estimated at 24,000 men, including those in the banlieues. We learn with extreme regret that the disease is daily enlarging its circle round Paris. Fifteen cases have oc curred at Vaugirard and Grenelle, two at Vilh :wit, one of which has been fatal, the other is abated ; two at Ar cueil, of both of which hopes are entertained. To these mournful details we are happily enabled to add some less poinful. It has been proved that the general mortality has not been augmented in the degree that has been appre hended.

A project is on foot for the establishment of locomotive steam carriages, to run between the Bank, Islington, Paddington, Hampstead, Highgate, Horneey, &c., and to carry both goods and passengers. The present receipts on these roads are calculated to amount to 120,000/. per annum COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Gained was held yesterday, t pros ed with general business of the Corporation. OPENING FROM FARRINGDON-STREET TO THE GREAT NORTH ROAD. Mr. Alderman Woon begged to submit a motion, " That it be referred to a Committee to consider the best plan to be adopted for opening a street at Holborn-bridge, opposite to Farringdon.street, and to report the probable expense of forming such a street to the extent of the city boundaries, The plan was in his (Alderman Wood's) judgment quite practicable ; and he bad ascertained teat some proprietors ef large property in the line of the street were quite willir g to dispose of their rights on terms highly advantageous to the new undertaking. He thought the Court, for many reasons, ought to embrace the oppor tunity of getting such an advantageous opening to the North Road, and thus make the new street the principal thoroughfare to ti e North. west part of the town. Mr. SLADE stoke in favour of the motion, and con cluded by seconding it. Mr. BLACSET thought the matter ought to be left to the proprietors of the estates themselves, as it was an un dertaking from which they must derive so much benefit. The expense ought to come out of their pockets, and nut from the City funds. If the Court did undertake the business, they ought first to get an assurance fr tm the Middlesex authorities that they would carry the street on, or the project would be neutralized. When the subject was proposed some years ago, he was favourable to it ; but when he found the landlords and tenants were exerting Themselves to get long leases, with a view of compensa tion, he became averse to it. Mr. DAVIDSON called to the recollection of the Court that the project of Farringdon-market had been treated as easily as Mr. Alderman Wood appeared to treat the pre sent ; but that had proved a severe tax upon them ; and care should be taken that a similar result did not occur in this. He hoped, if it went to a Committee, that the Committee would be first instructed to inquire if it were advisable to commence such an undertaking. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR agreed with the last speaker. There should be no pledge on the part of the Corporation as to the undertaking ; for its being advisable or not must entirely depend upon its relation to' the estimated expenses. He was favourable to the improvement, for it included a great number of important p aticulars. It would he an improvement with respect to the approach to Farringdnn street, and yielding a level for carriages, which would thus avoid Holborn-hill. The health of the metropolis would he benefited by getting rid of Fleet-ditch ; the morals of the metrop Its would also be improved by destroying that deplorable neighbourhood—Saffron hill; and many objec tions to Smithfield would be overcome, because a street, by which it could be avoided, would offer itself. He did not think the Court should look to the county carryirnr on the underniking, for it would insure the purpose required, if they carried the new street as far as Cow-cross. Mr. Hicks considered the improvement was more called for than any other place he knew. Mr. PEARSON said he had seen three plans for opening and improving the wards of the city from the end of Farring don-street. The Committee, he considered, might be em powered to write to the large proprietors of premises, and tell them they were ready to receive secret offers of their property ; this would afford a basis for going to Parlia ment to pet an Act to compel others to part with their property on fair terms; for it was very common to hear tradesmen complaining and talking of retiring from busi ness, yet, as FOOD as a new road was projected, the very reverse was the case. The matter w as th en directed to be referred to a CND mittee. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Murphy, a drunken Irishman, was brought be fore Mr. HALLS, charged with wilfully breaking a number of casts in plaster of Paris of many celebrated characters. Potowski, an Italian, was last evening passing along Holborn with a board upon his head, on which were a number of images, busts of Paganini, Fox, Pitt, Welling ton, O'Connell, &c., and the defendant, who had been indulging himself, ran purposely against him, and by the concussion all his stock was knocked off his head, the images broken, and their fragments strewed in all di rections. He called a policeman and gave the defendant into custody, in order that he might be made to pay him the amount of his loss. Mr. HA r.r..s asked the unfortunate Italian at what price he valued his images? The Italian said, that the only busts of any value were those of Paganini and O'Connell, but for the others he had no great sale, but he con sidered ten shillings would lae an adtquite remuneration. Mr HALLS consented that the defendant should with draw and settle the matter with the Italian, which having been done, he was discharged. Two young men of r,speetable appearance, one of them clerk to Nlr. Williams, of Lneoln's-inn fields, were this Morning charged by that gentleman with taking off stamps from deeds that had been executed, and transferring them to blank skins of parchment. One of the prisoners had acknowledged the fart to Mr. Williams, but having re fused to repeat the confessiou before the Magistrate, i❑ the absence of all evidence, the case was discharged. Mr. Williams produced a deed from which the stamp had been extracted, which led to the discovery. THE FUNDS 7 (THIS DAY.) CIT I', TWELVE O'CLOCK. The only arrival this morning is a Lisbon mail, sailed on the 28th March ; we do not hear it brings any news of importance. The American packet is also arrived; no letters or papers have yet been received ; she sailed on the 16th. Contrary to all expectation, the public have been most agreeably surprised to find, that instead of the quarter's revenue being greatly deficient, an increase has taken place of upwards of two bonds ed thou,and pounds. The estafette from Paris this morning brings accounts very unfavourable in regard to the ravage of the cholera in the above capital; also, that tl.e quarantine is taken off in all ports of France; and that C,rlist riots have taken place in all parts of France, Grenoble and Lyons excepted. It also appears that the affairs of Ancona are in a train of settlement. Private letters from Rome state that at Fassembrone the Pope's arms and the key of Sr. Peter were torn down and dragged through the mud in the street. The Priests were insulted, and the windows of the coaches of the Car dina's of Rehan and Frszoni were broken with stones. Accounts from Eschen state that the Dutch troops have approached the Belgian frontiers, and it was reported that orders have been sent to the Dutch army to attack the Belgians on the Ist April, at Bergen op-Zoom ; all the carts have been put into requisitio❑ for the service of the troops. From Flinders they write that a grand movement has taken place in the Flemish army. Consols, which left off yesterday at 82H for the Ac count, opened at the same price, since which they have improved to 84i, for next time, 84. No business of consequence doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. It is a curious circurnstanc, that large quantities of dif ferent descriptions of Grain, which were warehoused here since the beginning of last year, when fears of a bad har vest were entertains I, are finding now th,ir way hack to the continent, particularly to France, and a hand-ome profit hereby accrues to many of our merchants, who have been holders of that commodity for the last 12 months. The private letters front Lisbon this morning only men tion one circumstance of consequence,—that Baron Quin tella, one of the richest noblemen in Portugal, has been deprived of his honours and titles by Don Miguel, having refused to comply with the forced loan. All the prepara tions which were making to resist Don Pedro's expedition are now accomplished, and nothing but the explosion now remains to take place. We have seer, letters from Madeira of the 3d ult. I Don Pedro's expedition was daily expected there, and the Go vernor was making active preparations to receive it.

OLD BAILEY. -(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Daniel:Lynch, aged twenty, was indicted for the wilful nurder of William Flarrington, on the 28th February, in ,he parish of St. Giles's-in the-Fields; he was also or :•aigned upon the Curoner's Inquisition, to both of which rolictment and inquisition, he pleaded Not Guilty. Gristavos Adolphus Saville stated that he was a - urge o , •f Middlesex Hospit rl ; on the 28th February, the &Teaser:, •Vro Harrington, was brought to the hospital about two 'clock in the morning; lie had a wound on the left sid e if the andomen. about an inch in leng , h ; about ten riii lutes after he was brought in, a portinn of the intestines came through the wound. They were replaced, and ti e wound was braced; the deceased lived for twenty-three - rourer from his admission, and then died in consequence of , he wound. The body was opened, and the intestines were found wounded in four places. Witness attributed his death solely to the wound he had received. Cross-examined by Mr. BARRY-The deceased ap peared to have taken a little drink, i.ut he was not drunk ; he wa. almost insensible from the ffects of the wound. Witness could only judge of the extent of his sobriety or irunkenness by Isis breath. Did not examine his head, but was sure he did not die of apoplexy. By Lord TENTERDEN-The wound appeared to have been inflicted by a knife; a knife was hrought on the following day to witness, by a policeman, and it exactly fitted the wound. Wrn. James, policeman, 17. division F, stated that on the 28th of February. between twelve and one o'ctock at night, he went to the station-house, in St. George-street, St. Giles's, and found Wm. Harrington, the deceased, there, sitting on the ground. wounded in the left side, and his clothes very bloody. Witness Fay' , the wound; he assisted in taking him to the hospital, and delivered him ro the care of Mr. Saville. About two or three o'clock witness apprehended the prisoner in bed, in his lodging. The prisoner appeared to have been drinking, but was 'hen getting the better of it. Another constable, named Poole, was with the witness when be apprehended the prisoner. On examining the prisoner's clothes a knife dropped out of his pocket, and Poole took charge of it ; it was bloody. Cross-examined—The prisoner was asleep when wit ness went in his bed room. it was between two and three o'clock. Witness did not observe at the time any marks of blows on his face, but afterwards witness observed that he had a slight black eye. The prisoner, when appre hended, was in bed with another man, whose name wit ness did not know. By Lord TENTERDIN—CouId not say whether the black eye wa•4 the effect of a recent blow or not. William Poole, a policeman, was present when the pri. toner was apprehended, and found a knife in his coat pocket, ,vhich he now produced (it was a clasp knife, with a blade). Witness showed it to Mr. Saville, and saw that gentleman apply it to the wound. Witness found a silk handkerchief (now produced) in the prisoner's clothes. The prisoner had a black rye, and it was swollen. Nichols Grady, a labourer, of No. 19, Buckridge street, stated that on the night of the 28th of February, between twelve and one in the morning, he was standing at the corner of that street, when he heard the prisoner crying out for the police; the deceased was along with the prisoner. Before they came up to witness they crossed the street to the Cock public-house; did riot hear the de ceased say any thing, but only heard the prisoner calling out for the police. When they got near the public-house the deceased struck the prisoner in his face, and then they parted ; the prisoner went away, and the deceased stood still. The prisoner came back again in five or ten minutes, crying, and the deceased turned towards him; they were then face to face ; witness was four or five yards front them; as soon as they got face to face. witness saw the prisoner's hand go towards the deceased's_body, but lie did not observe whether the prisoner had any thing in his and. The ' deceased immediately put his hand towards his body and drew himself back, and the poisoner went awuy. Witness went up to the deceased, who bugged him and D.•nnis Grady (who was woh witness) to take him to the doctor's, saying he was stabbed. Witness arid Dennis Grady took him to a doctor's but could not get in; they t-ok him to the station-house and thence on a shutter to the hospital. • Cr,ass-exatnined—The prisoner and deceased were old friends and associates, as lung as witness knew them, which was three or four years. They both lived in Buckeridge-street ; the witness always understood prisoner to be weak in his mind, and he had observed boys follow.. lug him, playing larks with him, and jeering him, which much annoyed him. One of the prisoner's nick names was " hos eye." By Lord TKNTERIAN—CouId not say he did not know the difference between right and wrong. By Mr. BAKRY—Knew the pris.in , r's father and soo ther : the latter wits ~ead, and he had heard ',tie died in a lunatic asylum. Witness had not tak-n any liquor that o ght. A "free an e,sy" duh was he!d at the Cc•ck public hotp.e, near which the scuffle took place. Cou d not tell what occasioned the prisoner to cry out for the police, but he appeared all the time to be digressed and crying. By Lord TENTERDEN—OnIy observed the deceased 4ive the prisoner one blow. Dennis Grady, son to the last witness, stated, that on the night in question, heeween twelve and one o'clock, he came out of the Cock public house, and saw the deceased ,time; he told witness he was stabbed, and requested wit ness to take him to the doctor's. W tness and his father took him to a surgeon's, but could not get admittance,' and then they took him to the station-house. George Palmer, policeman, No. 5, division F, remem bered the night the deceased was stabtied ; he had seen the prisoner and deceased together before twelve o'clock, at the tinckeridge Arms public-house, the corner of Buckeridt:e street ; they were drinking together, there was no quarrel ing between them at that time. The prisoner on being called on for his defence appeared not to understand what was said to him until the question Waft explained to him. He declined to say any thing. Mr. Barry, for the prisoner, called Jeremiah Lynch, his rather, and Norab Lynch, his aunt, from whose testimony it appeared, that when he was but eighteen years old, lie •ell from a window three stories high, and received ►uch an njury in his head that his mind was affected ; that paiti i!ularly when he got any liquor he was completely insane, oid boys in the neighbourhood were in the habit of anroy •ng him. The knife produced WAS the one he used in his business, and he was in the habit of carrying it about with him. Lord TENTERDEN summed up the evidence, and after .xplaining to the Jury the distinction between cases of nanslaughter and murder, The Jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter only. Abigail Moss, an interesting looking Jewes‘, and very fashionably , dressed, aged 22, was indicted for stealing a purse, three 51. Balk of England notes, and 13 sovereigns and a half, the property of Joseph Harfield. The parriculars of the case have alr.ady been published in the police reports a few days ago. Mr. C. PHILLIPS and Mr. BARRY, who were engaged for the prisoner, called two witnesses, to prove an alibi, .mod a host of respectable witnesses to character. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having summed up the evidence, the Jury- found the prisoner—Not Guilty. NEW COURT. John Redding, Thomas Fielder, George Henwood, nd Joseph Cannon, were inoict,d for stra:iug three load• of straw, value 51. 95., from William Clinton, the pro perty of Mr. Cottrell, a farmer in Herefordshire. On the 10th of Match, the witness, Clinton, was sent to London with three loads of straw for sale. When near the Kingsland-road toll-bar, he was met by the prisoners, R dding and Fielder, who bargained with him for the straw, for which they were to pay him 51. 9v., when it was delivered. Clinton had not gone far when he was overtaken by Elmwood, who asked him if that was Redding's straw. Clinton said he did not know the name of the pa. ty to whom he had cold it, but, on his being described, it was ,iund to be the same. Ilenwoodthen gave him direc- t ions to take the straw to Mr. Nibbs' Livery-stable yard. Regent-street, where the straw was delivered. Henwood ,nd a person named Hun helped to stow away the straw, which being done, Henwood contrived to make his escape, and poor Clinton founcllbiniself without his straw and no money in his pocket. lie never after saw any of ihe men till they were in custody. There being no evidence against Cannon he was found Not Guilty. The COMMON SERI EANT then summed up, and the Jury found the three prisoners, Redding, Fielder, and Hen wood, Guilty. Redding, Fielder, and Cannon were again charged with another case of the same sort, which occurred on the same day. They were found Guilty, and the COMMON SEK JEANT intimated to them that they would not be allowed to remain in this country. • FRANKING.—" It is well known and remem bered," says Sir Walter Scott, in a note to the last - p ublished volume of the Waverley novels, " that whe n Members o f Par iament enjoyed the unlimited privilege .of franking, by the mere writing the name on the cover , it was extended to the .uost extraordinary occasions.
