THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE' 1, 1847. , r iiirq - 111111 01 littie _, 4 LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1847. Little intelligence of importance reaches us by the Overland Bombay Mail, and that very paucity of facts is consolatory, inasmuch as it is an assurance that our Oriental possessions and the adjacent territo ries still continue in an unusual state of tranquillity. As in Europe, the weather in the Asiatic countries is of remarkable magnificence, and promises not merely an abundant, but a very forward crop. In Sinde an extraordinary necessity has been rendered apparent by the propitious character of the climate, namely, it has been found since our occupation of that splendid province, that its soil, though naturally most prolific, is in a great measure unproductive, from the total lack of irrigation. A necessity of this description, how ever, is less calculated to baffle the enterprise of agri culturists than any inherent poverty in the land, see ing that the application of a comparatively trifling amount of ingenuity will remove the difficulty which at present retards vegetation. Much has undoubt edly been accomplished already for the purpose of turning Sinde to our advantage since it ori g inal conquest, but much—very much—of a physical and of a moral kind remains to be done to direct the treasures of the land in such a channel as may con duct them to the treasury-chests of the Anglo- Indian Government. In spite of calumny and misrepresentation,this truth is at length being recog nised, and measures are being adopted one after another to elicit the innate wealth of our newly-ac quired possessions. If the same rational course be pursued for only a reasonable period the conse quences must be most beneficial to ourselves, and must likewise vindicate the judgment and discernment of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, both as a puissant captain and as a wise administrator. Among other arrange ments recently made for the improvement of Sinde, we observed that a sum of five thousand pounds has been appropriated by the Government for the erec tion ofa church at Kurrachee ; and besides this a grant of an additional six hundred pounds, subscribed par tially by Government and partially by individual patrons, is to be collected for the establishment of seminaries at Hyderabad. Having done thus much for the moral and intellectual tuition of the inha bitants of Sinde, surely it is but reasonable to ex pect that something will be done for the irrigation of the fruitful but parched soil of the fields of Sinde• Government and individual enterprise must undoubt edly be directed in this quarter, considering that that enterprise would necessarily be mutually pro fitable. Considerable interest is attached to the dispatches received from Bombay, from the circumstance of their containing the announcement of the rumoured return homewards of Lord HARDINGE in October next, and the consequent elevation of the hero of Meeanee, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, to the COM mander-in-Chiefship on the expiration of Lord GouGH's term of five years' service, on the Bth of March, 1848. It is needless to remark that such an appointment would be most judicious, and most calculated to enhance the position of our Oriental forces, and to sustain the distinguished character already acquired by the regular and Se poy troops, both in regard to discipline and bravery. Besides the changes in anticipation, there are others that have already taken place, such, for example, as the departure of Sir Join.; Lrriemzu from Lahore to Jullundur. The monetary transactions at Bunnoo and Tauk appear to have been carried to a satisfac tory settlement by the intervention of Lieutenant EDWARDS, and there is now little prospect of the recurrence of the involvements formerly prevalent at Hazereh. While excitement and insubordination still prevail in the dominions of the Nizam, and likewise at Lucknow, Goomsoor has happily lapsed into quiescence. Various occurrences have, in the midst of the ge neral tranquillity, agitated the public mind with ap prehensions. Of these, perhaps, the most singular arose from the descent of the armaments of Candahar through the Bolan Pass. After pocketing some where about thirty-five thousand pounds sterling, by way of tribute, these formidable visitors retired by the road taken upon their advent without creating any disturbances whatever. Another source of anxiety has been the pillage recently com mitted in the Rajpootana states, and the remaining cause, the systematic plundering effected by an organized body of promoters of larceny, very expressively termed the "Bombay Bunder Gang." Despite these petty reasons for disquietude, however, it is unquestionable that our Asiatic possessions have been latterly blessed with an almost unparalleled duration of peace. From peace, be it also remem- Ibered, those possessions can alone hope to secure the :happiness of the population and the full development 'of the national resources. Peace is likewise the surety -of the permanence of British influence in the sur : rounding territories, besides being the readiest means -of ensuring the extension of civilisation among a bar barous race, and the ultimate obliteration of an idola trous creed by the divine and benign principles incul cated by Christianity. I The political catechism last evening, in the House of Commons, in reference to the present posture of affairs in Portugal ran to an unusual length. Nor is this to be wondered at. The publication in the French papers of the protocol, signed in London on the 21st ult. by the repre sentatives of Great Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, and which appeared in the English papers yesterday, rendered it an imperative duty upon those who, as far as their own private information and judgment could lead them, considered our policy in regard to Portugal to be objectionable, to press the Government in every way to afford them the earliest opportunity of discussing this most important question in the House of Commons. Had this pro tocol not been published, it would have been open to our Executive, in accordance with established prece dents, to have delayed the production of any official documents touching the vexata questio till their views had been consummated, or pending any negotiations which were likely to spring afresh from the opera tions they had determined upon adopting for termi nating the internecine war in Portugal. As a general rule such a course is entitled to. approval, and, ordi narily, Parliament has always been contented, at the mere dictum of the Minister that it would be detri mental to the public service, not to urge prematurely the production of written or oral communications of transactions involving the chances of war. Were this practice not to be suffered to prevail, the energy which it is oftentimes so necessary to display in the conduct of international affairs would be seriously compro mised. There are many matters that would entirely fail of successful prosecution without the advantage of temporary secresy, and which can only be main tained by confining the conduct of them to a very limited number of the sworn and responsible advisers of the Crown. In the case before us the matter is altogether different. Lord PALMERSTON admits the protocol, as transmitted to us through the French Journals, to be a faithful translation , and that instru ment establishes the fact th a t an armed inter vention has been concerted between ourselves, France, and Spain, ef Junta in Portugal and there can be littl e doubt but that, by Tirtu n : in order to resist the people, thin malted agreement between the Power s , the gained the e, who have in so ex traordinary a manner uc rights h ave hand over a , SOVBREIGN by whom their consti tutional been so insanely infringed, are already inz i a increased confus ion, and, it m ay be, blood s h e d .n When it is borne in mind how mu eh we prize th e blessings of liberty, and how our •own history tells us that our ancestors only realised them for us by a stern and patriotic resistance :to the acts a n d galling away of despotism, it is evident that English men will consider with extreme jealousy the question whether Ministers are justified in taking what is described by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs "as an exceptional course." Portugal is our most ancient ally, and the force of circumstances should be strong indeed to overcome the natural re luctance with which this country would view any vio lent intervention, on our part, in the civil affairs of Por tugal. Taken alone, the protocol does not appear to us to justify the present proceedings ; but when the same shall come to be regarded in connexion with the other papers, which are to be laid before Parliament with all possible dispatch, this impression may be completely varied. Of this the Premier is thoroughly convinced. Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed last night, that " the more the case was known and the better the facts were as certained, the better the stand on which her MA JESTY'S Government had to rely, and he also ex pressed his hope that the House would not come to any opinion on this subject without knowing, not only what had taken place between the Queen of POR TUGAL and her subjects, but also what had taken place in reference to the appeals which had been made by the QUEEN to other powers, and the offers of other powers to interfere in the a f fairs of Portugal—without knowing, in short, the whole history of those trans actions." All must concur in the reasonableness of these remarks. This interesting subject will probably come under discussion on Friday next. The Poor Relief Bill (Ireland) has at length passed both Houses. The Commons have accepted it, as altered by the Lords, with some slight excep tions, and have even consented to waive their acknow ledged and highly-prized privilege sooner than risk the safety of a measure of such vital importance to our starving brethren in the sister kingdom, and to our own over-taxed and over-burdened countrymen, who readily consented to support from the profits of their toils and labours those who were still more destitute than themselves, and who had no legislative title to a maintenance from the land of their birth. It may be considered by many that the representa tives of the people were wrong in giving way, even in the most trifling degree, on a point in which they were supported by the entire sympathies of the country, in for a moment permitting their most valued privilege—that privilege to which they owe their real power and supremacy—to be interfered with. It is quite manifest that the opinion of the House is in accordance with that of the public, and in opposi tion to the amendment by which the area of taxation was altered. Every one whose opinion carried with it the slightest weight protested against the change, and the clearest indications were afforded that the landlords, for whose especial benefit the substitution was effected, will have only a temporary triumph to boast of, that one of the earliest acts of the ensuing session will be to provide a remedy for the mischiefs and grievances occasioned by the present statute, and which, ere that period, will be fully apparent. The proposition originally brought forward in the vain hope of conciliating the landlord party did not afford sufficient protection for the people. The temptation held out for the clearance system, and the power to carry it into execution, was far too great, even before the Lords had further impaired the efficiency of the measure. By the iniquitous " quarter acre' clause the proprietors of the soil were enabled to drive the cottiers from their wretched tenements. By withholding and inducing the neighbouring squires to withhold employment, they could force the industrious and able bodied pauper to apply for assistance, and he should surrender his holding before he could obtain the neces sary relief. That aid for which he was forced to bar ter the only spot he could call his own was not of a permanent character—it could only be granted for a limited time, when certain preliminaries had been complied with, and on its cessation he would be forced to seek refuge in the neighbouring towns and villages, and thus add to the mass of pauperism, of want, and disease, by which they are crowded. The means are thus given to effect clearances, while the temptation to do so is increased by the fact that, in a certain fixed time, the district from which the paupers have been removed will be freed from all liability as to their future support. *What will be the result we leave those best acquainted with Irish land lords to pronounce. We feel confident that before the next session of Parliament scenes will be enacted of the most heartrending description, a frightful quantity of individual misery will be occasioned. The burden of supporting the destitute poor, which, under any circumstances must be sufficiently onerous, will be greatly increased. The owners of land in many parts of the country will be enabled, for a few months longer, to evade a portion of their duty; while the inhabitants of towns, unable to discharge the rates assessed upon them, will be compelled again to seek assistance from the national purse. That assistance will be granted at a cost of a few additional millions, and then, at length, a measure will be brought for ward of a much more stringent character, which will cause the landowners to regret the temporary success of their intrigues and exertions in the Lords to weaken and impair the Bill sent up from the Lower House. In another part of this day's paper will be found an interesting account of the election of annuitants on the BENEVOLENT FUND of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION, which took place yesterday, at the London Tavern. We have often recorded the pro ceedings of this excellent association, and feel that on each occasion we are called upon to increase our meed of praise, because daily experience proves that the more the advantages of this society are known the more they must be appreciated, and that the board of managers do not content themselves with mere empty promises, but use their utmost energies to carry into full 'effect the powers with which they are invested. As we predicted, the Provident Clerks' Association, from its constitution and the men who are at the helm of affairs, must make headway, and become one of the first associa tions in this great commercial country ; so, wo are happy to say, that we have not been wrong in our prognostication, the advances in public favour, the great accession of members, the manner in which its benefits are dispensed (at once liberally, and without any ostentation, the regard paid to the feelings of the recipients—we allude particularly to the fact of initials, not names in full, being given), cannot fail to at once command the well wishes and approval of all who desire to be prudent and raise the national standard of moral, physical, and social advantage. Our report of yesterday's pro ceedings will be read with much interest. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following, dated Constantinople, 14th inst.:— " The official journal of yesterday announces that the Greek Cabinet has at length determined to yield, and that M. Coletti, after having received from M. Persiani a communication of the last note from the Russian Cabinet, promised him not to throw any further obstacle in the way of the settlement of the differences between the two countries. The Emperor has learned with regret the offence which has been given to the Turkish representative ; he approves the conduct of M. Mussu rus, and blames that of M. Coletti. The Greek Cabinet ought at once, by a frank explanation, to give the satis faction demanded by the Porte, and not complicate the affair in a manner injurious to the dignity of Ki ng Otho. M. Coletti, adds the Emperor in the note, instead of adding any difficulty to the foreign relations of Greece, would do better to apply himself to remedying the evils of the country by a better administration of affairs. The Czar approves the conduct of his representatives in Tur key and in Greece, and gives instruction to them to press the Greek Cabinet to give without delay the re quired satisfaction to the Porte, as the only means of putting an end to the existing state of things." Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived. The QUEEN arrived in Madrid on the 24th, from Aranjuez. The KING continues at the Prado. Rumours were circulated of another Ministerial crisis. The Duke of SOTOMAYOR or the Marquis of MRAFLORES were spoken of as the probable chiefs of the new Cabinet. Senor OLOZAGA, on his last inter view, had, it is said, been coldly received by the QUEEN. _ Dispatches had been received announcing the con clusion of the treaty for the pacification of Portugal, and General MANUEL CoNcErA left Madrid on the 25th for Zamora, to take command of the army. He had orders, it is believed, to enter Portugal. MADRID BO LSA , MAY 25.—The Three per Cents. were done at 29% for cash; the Four per Cents. at 18 3 %; the Five per Cents. at 18%; the Debt without Interest at 5% ; and the Coupons at 16. ______, We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. It is considered that the Ministers will be compelled at last to resort to a loan to corer the deficit. The Union Monarchique says— "It was reported on t he Paris Bourse, on Saturday, that the Government had resolved, at a Cabinet Council held the day before, to contract shortly a loan of 300,000 000. We have ascertained, from an authentic source, that a financial deliberation actually took place in the Cabinet on that day, and that it was agreed to present to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law to the effect of extending the amount of the royal bonds in circulation from 210,000,000, the sum set down in the estimates, to 275,000,000, in order to compel the Budget Committee to propose the negotiation of a loan, of which the Government has recognised the necessity." A project of law to that effect was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. The Chamber of Peers adopted on the same day the Secret Service Money Bill, by a majority of 112 to 22. The Minister of Public Worship announced his intention of laying before the Chamber of Deputies the St. Denis Chapter Bill. Upon this measure it is considered as not improbable that the Ministry may be defeated. M. DUCHATEL, upon the plea of illness, keeps himself totally secluded from his colleagues and the Chamber. This is looked on as ominous• M. DUCHATEL ' S indispositions are generally followed by a Ministerial crisis. The Union Illonarchique states that Count BRESSON goes as Ambassador to Naples, and that the Prince DE BROGLIE will not accompany his father to Lon don, an illustrious personage having insisted on the Count DE JARNAC remaining. The Constitutionnel states that a circular has been addressed to the prefects, directing them to slacken the public works in course of excution in their re-' spective departments. " Every day," says the Con stitutionnel, " brings us a new avowal, on the part of the Ministry, of the numerous faults that it has com mitted in the administration of public works, and in the finances of the State." The Echo Agricole contains from all quarters the most gratifying accounts of the growing crops—of the vineyards, the orchards, and " the mulberries, so important for the propagation and the maintenance of the silk-worm." A telegraphic dispatch, dated Algiers 26th May, and addressed by the Marshal Duke D'ISLY to the Minister of War, contains the following : " The whole centre of Great Kabylia, from Bugia to Setif and Hamza, was organized on the 24th, at a solemn assembly of the representatives of about eighty tribes. We appointed and invested chiefs. The Kabyles are to pay a moderate tax, and have agreed to provide for the security of communicctions and to effect the trans ports. The two columns will return by easy journeys to Setif and Algiers, and enforce on the way the execu tion of the conditions imposed. "I arrived to-day at Algiers."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales, 6,500 bales, including 1,000 bales American for export, and 1,000 on specula lion. There was no excitement, but the market closed well, and American descriptions were %d. per lb. higher. All other sorts were at extreme rates. In the quantity sold there are included 5,000 bales of American, at 6d. to 7 1 /d. per lb. A large business was done in Railway Shares, with a good demand up to the close of the market. The advises received by the Overland mail are in general much of the same tenour as those pre viously come to hand. The demand for our manufactures was but limited, and it is stated that at Calcutta the Ame ricans were the most active buyers of Indian produce. Tbis is some proof of the prosperity of American industry and commerce. The demand for Indigo was fair, and it is now mentioned that the weather had become more favourable for the crops. It appears that in the priv‘ite letters from the United States, there its some difference of opinion as to the extent of the food exports, but, although immediately after the winter breaking up, the American cities on the seaboard may themselves need supplies, few doubt but that in a short time there will be large quantities from the interior. The Funds have gone back to-day, and are about 1 / per cent. under the rates of yesterday. There have been a few sales, and one or two influential brokers have ope rated, although a great many parties who deal habitually are absent at the races. Consols have realised 88 to 4 for Money, and 88% % for Account. Exchequer-bills have been quoted Is. to 4s. pre mium, with more doing in them. East India Bonds have realised 2s. premium to 2s. discount. Bank Stock main tains itself at the high value of 194% to 196. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 88%. The Foreign Bonds have been dull again. Portuguese Four per Cents. are quoted 33, Spanish Three per Cents 34, and Brazilian 82 3 % to 83 1 /. Mexican Bonds were marked 20. Russian Stock was quoted 109% to 110%. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents. have been 58%. The market for Railway Shares has been rather less ani mated than yesterday ; but holders generally' obtain -full prices. There are a good many calls in course of payment to-day, including the Paris and Strasburg, the Northern of France, Esc., and this, no doubt, checks business, and temporarily occasions some demand for cash, although, upon completion, matters may stand better than ever. This altogether is a heavy month, as the railway calls fall ing due amount to upwards of 2,800,000/. besides which we have the fourth of the month to provide for. All this time, however, we are getting nearer harvest, and with splendid prospects. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) per Cent.

(Before Mr. Justice NVIGIITMAN). APPLICATION FOR CRIMINAL INFORMATION..-RXTRAORD NARY CASE. II V. THOMPSON. Sir F. Tustsicik.R said he had been instructed to apply for a rule calling upon a person, whom he would presently mention, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him. He had to make the application under circumstances of the most extraordinary, painful, and distressing nature. The necessary details were so painful and disgusting, and would be so disagreeable to the feelings of the parties who would be affected by them, that he trusted he might be permitted, as far as possible, to spare their feelings, by making no mention of any name which was not absolutely necessary for the purpose of the application. The person on whose behalf he applied was a young man— an heir to a title—who on coming of age in 1842, inherited considerable possessions. He became acquainted at Cambridge with the gentleman against whom the appli cation was made, a Mr. James Thompson, who was a fellow commoner there, and although not in the same college, great intimacy had sprung up between them. In the month of August, 1845, the complainant married his present wife, who was the principal subject in this most painful application. She was a young lady only seven teen years of age. She was educated in France. Per haps there was not that restraint in her manners which resulted from an English education, she was of an open, unsuspicious disposition, but lady-like in her manner, and correct in her behaviour. In the course of last year the complainant was induced to invite Mr. Thompson to visit him at his estate in Wales, and he arrived there on the 15th of July. At that time he was almost a stranger to the lady, although she had seen him a short time before her marriage. There was a mutual friend of Mr. Thompson and the plaintiff, Count Cannanas, who resided in Belgium, and wbo was invited to join Mr. Thompson in this visit. In consequence of this in vitation the Count arrived on the 18th of August. A very few days after his arrival, Mr. Thompson began to excite suspicions by hinting at certain familiarities which he said had taken place between him and Mrs. H. This excited the curiosity of the Count, and he was induced to put some ques tions to him on the subject. He appeared unwilling at first to give any answer, but had stated on more than one occasion that a criminal intercourse had taken place between him and the lady of the complainant. It was very important to a proper view of the case that the dates should be correctly given. Mr. Thompson arrived on the 15th July, almost a stranger to the lady, and the Count met him at the house of the complainant on the 18th of August, and prior to the ar rival of the Count many of those circumstances which were related to him by the defendant were alleged to have taken place. Having established in the mind of the Count a perfect conviction of the sincerity and truth of his statement, he proceeded to act a part cal culated to rivet those suspicions in his mind. [The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state several cir cumstances which went to show that the defendant had frequently boasted of his intrigues with the lady in question, and had followed her on various occasions, and conducted himself purposely in such a manner as to give a colour to his boastings.] His conduct became so extremely disagree able, and he had acted so rudely, that the lady complained to her husband ofhis conduct. Her husband, who was ill in bed, desired her to request Mr. Thompson to leave the house, which she accordingly did on the 10th October. At the time that the Count and Mr. Thompson left the house, the hus band and his wife were utterly ignorant of the atrocious and false statements which had been made. It was not until the 18th February, when a communication was made to the uncle of the complainant, that the complainant be came aware of the statements made by Mr. Thompson. The complainant had been in correspondence with the Count after he left his house, and his letters were so mysterious in tote and terms that they excited some suspicion in the mind of the complainant, and understanding that the Count had several of Mr. Thompson's letters in his possession, he thought it of essential importance to obtain possession of them, or, at all events, a knowledge of their contents, and he sent to Brussels, in the month of March, for this purpose. The Count delivered up, on the 30th of April last, several letters which were translated from the French, the language in which they were written. (Sir F. Thesiger then read several letters, in which the defendant re➢eated the assertions as to the infidelity of the lady which he had before made. All the letters were written in an incoherent strain ; and he re peatedly asked in them the nature of the evidence which the Count would be inclined to give, if the case came before a legal tribunal.) Now (proceeded the Learned Cbunsel), those letters I think will be sufficient to show that lam entitled to the rule for which I have moved. Of course it was necessary to communicate all those disgusting particulars. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to state that Mr. Thompson had accused the lady of intriguing with a Rev. Mr. Smith. He had an affidavit from that gentleman dis tinctly denying the accusation, and also an affidavit from the lady herself, declaring that all the statements made by Thompson regarding her were false. Rule granted. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN. ) IN RE DIATTHEWMAN. This insolvent, who was described as of Coleford, Glouces tershire, coal-mine proprietor, was brought up t o be dis charged from custody. His HONOUR, on looking at the schedule, said this was a very unusual case. The debts were stated at 10,7001., and property unencumbered 30,7001. Mr. DUNCAN said the principal property was a coal-mine, called the Oaken and Churchway Colliery, in the Forest of Dean. His HoNowt asked whether there was any opposition. A SOLICITOR replied that there could be no objection to the insolvent's being discharged out of custody, but the question was, what could be done with the property? Mr. DUNCAN said that the insolvent proposed to pay his debts in two years if the mine was worked under his direction, or it could be leased for 2,0001. a year at the least. His HONOUR said that in this case it was very requisite that a trade assignee should be appointed, and in order to give all the creditors an opportunity of considering the matter, an intermediate meeting ought to be held, and notice should be given in the Gazette. ➢lr. DuwcAN said there was a great difference of opinion as to the mode in which the mine ought to be worked. If the in solvent was allowed to work it in his own way, it would, beyond doubt, realise at least what had been stated. His Horrourt said, that perhaps it would be well to hear the insolvent's views on the subject before any proceeding. were adopted, as the case was one quite out of the common course, and if there were grounds of opposition it would not be prudent to have the petition dismissed. The case was then adjourned, for the choice of an assignee, to the 12th of June at two o'clock. BOROUGH COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before George Crivz, Esq., Judge.) ArronxicTs IN THE NEW COURTS. This morning, just before the Learned Judge of the Court was about to commence the business of the day, Mr. Francis Herbert, an attorney of Staples Inn, made the subjoined ap plication to the Court, in reference to the costume of attor neys and solicitors, under the new Act of Parliament. Ihe Learned Gentleman stated that the Act being new under which the proceedings of the new County Courts were di rected, at the suggestion of several professional gentlemen, he wished to put a question to the Judge, as to whether he would prefer attorneys and solicitors appearing in an ordinary costume, or in their professional robes. He understood that at some of the new County Courts, attorneys appeared in gowns, and in others without; and that being the case, he merely wished to ascertain what rule he (the judge of the Southwark Court) had laid down in the matter. He (Mr. F. Herbert) appeared to conduct the case of the plaintiff in the cause of Skeen v. Styles, and considering he ought to appear in professional robes, he had that morning applied to a robe maker's in Chancery-lane for a gown, but he was in formed that in consequence of the passing of the new Act, so great a demand had been made for attorneys' robes, that_he could not be accommodated. The Learned JUDGE, in reply, stated that he wished as far as possible to follow the practice of the superior courts of law ; attorneys, however, might appear to conduct cases in what ever costume they thought proper, therefore at present he would not lay down any rule in the matter, but leave it to the preference or discretion of the parties concerned. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (. The June Gene ra l S THlS essions DAY the ) for county of Middlesex commenced this morning, before the Assistant-Judge and a full bench of Magistrates, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell green. The number of prisoners for trial was 88, nine of whom were misdemeanants, the remainder being charged with felony. The following is an analysis of the educational con dition of the prisoners, which, unfortunately, at this great metropolitan Court seems to be as low as it could possibly be in the most neglected of the rural districts. Of the 88 pri soners for trial 35 could neither read nor write; 51 could read and write imperfectly ; while only 2 were described as able to read and write well. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDO)I briefly charged the grand jury with respect to the nature of the duties they had to dis charge, after which they retired. Joseph Squires, a fashionably-dressed young man, in dicted tor stealing a pocket-book from the person of Captain Mervin Archdall, M.P., was found Guilty.—Sentence was deferred, in order that inquiries might be made about him. 11Iary Anne Brown pleaded Guilty to an indictment charg ' ings her with stealing some drugget and other articles, the property of John Rosier. Sentence, three months' imprison ment with hard labour. John Evans pleaded Guilty to stealing a quantity of straw work from the premises of Henry Richards, and was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mary Ann Ccilam was found Guilty of stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of Henry William Bailey.— She was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT CHRISTIE'S HOTEL.— John Heywood, a respectably-dressed man, late a waiter at Christie's Hotel, St. James's-street, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a writing-case, containing 1101 in Bank of England notes, 250/. i❑ circular notes, a letter of credit for 3001., sixteen sovereigns, a gold watch, and various other articles, the property of General Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Bart. The prosecutor stated that he was staying at Christie's Hotel, St. James's-street. The prisoner was one of the waiters there, and had frequent access to prosecutor's apart ments. On Thursday night last, previous to his going to his bed-room, about twelve o'clock, he left on a table in his sitting-room a leather writing-case, containing 1181. in Bank notes, 181. in sovereigns, 250/. in Coutts's circular notes, of 251. each, a letter of credit on a banker at Frankfort for 3001., a gold watch, and various other articles. On enter ing the sitting-room the next morning he immediately dis covered that his writing-case was not in its usual place, and that it was missing. He rang the bell for the servants and informed them of the circumstance, but they all denied having seen it. Temfield, the general's valet, proved seeing the writing case safe in its accustomed place at half-past eight on Friday morning. On being informed by the general of its dis appearance, he proceeded to the station and gave informa tion to the police, John Haynes, inspector of the detective force, said, on the evening of Friday last he was sent for to investigate a rob bery at Christie's Hotel. On proceeding there he found that a writing-case, containing the articles named by the pro secutor, had been stolen from his (the prosecutor's) room. He examined the various servants, and among others the prisoner, who he was informed was in the habit of attending upon the general. He continued his inquiry up to yesterday afternoon, when a circumstance transpired which induced him to go to No. 8, Hand-court, Holborn. He there re ceived from the landlady's daughter the black leather bag produced, containing the whole of the general's property, with the exception of a 5/. note and a couple of sovereigns. Witness then returned to Christie's Hotel, and previous to taking the prisoner into custcdy, questioned him as to whether he ever had a bag of the same description as the one produced, and whethor he ever lodged at No. 8, Hand-court, Holborn. The prisoner replied that he never had a bag at all like the one produced by witness, and denied all knowledge of such a place as Hand-court. Witness then took him into custody, and on searching his pockets found the key belong ing to the bag Elizabeth Smith said she resided with her mother, who keeps a coffee-house, No. 8, Hand-court. The prisoner and a friend took lodgings at her mother's house about a month ago. He occupied a room on the second floor. The bag pro duced by last witness was brought by the prisoner, who de livered it to her care on Friday night last. The prisoner, who declined to say anything in defence, was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing sessions to be holden at the Old Bailey. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) John Hellsby and James Young, two lads about 19 years of age, and who are what are technically termed " Flying Dustmen," were charged by Mr. Samuel Tudor, a lead mer chant residing at Bromley, with having stolen a silver spoon from his premises. Mr. Tudor stated that the two prisoners had repeatedly applied to him to know if he would let them remove his dust; but he had declined giving them permission, and informed them he made use of it himself. Notwithstanding this they came yesterday morning before he was up, and t, ld his house keeper they were come for the deist. She imagining they had received orders to remove it, pointed out the dust hole, from which they commenced filling their cart. NN hilst thus engaged, a lad named Clarke, who happened to be on the premises, saw Hellsby take up a silver spoon and pocket it, as he thought, unobserved. As soon as witness was informed of the circumstance he procured the assistance of the police and gave the prisoners into custody. The lad, Clarke, deposed to the above facts, and added that Hellsby showed the spoon to Young, arid laughed. He had picked up one previottly, but being pewter, he put it down again. — K 265, who apprehended the prisoners, produced the silver spoon, which Mr. Tudor identified as his property. Mr. BALLANTINE observed that he had no doubt the public were extensively plundered by these " Flying Dustmen." With regard to Young, there was no positive evidence, and he must, therefore, be discharged ; but the case was clear as respected liellsby, and he should commit him for trial for the felony at the ensuing sessions of the Central Criminal Court RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.)

Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the promoters of this Bill, which was for authorising the construction of a line from the Radstock coal-fields to Bath; the widening of the Great Western Railway at the point of junction with the Wilts, Somerset and Weymouth line; the removal of certain objec tionable level crossings on the Great Western Railway; the widening of the Great Western Railway at the point of junc tion with the West London Railway ; the purchase of Ux bridge and Wycombe branches; the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway; and for other purposes. Mr. Brunel having been examined in favour of the Bill, The Committee declared the preambie to be proved. The remainder of the day was occupied with the clauses. GROUP X.XII, GLOUCESTER AND HEREFORD CANAL RAILWAY AND CANAL PURCHASE. The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock; ➢lr. Home Drummond in the chair. After some disscussion, the room was cleared, and on the re-admission of the parties, _ The CHAIRMAN declared that the preamble was not proved to the satisfaction of the Committee. GROUP XXXVI. SOUTHPORT AND PRESTON EXTENSIONS (EAST LANCASHIRE). The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock; Mr. Roebuck in the chair, When Mr. WRANGHAM replied on behalf of the promoters, chiefly to the objections of Mr. Carrisbrick, whose property is likely to be affected by the progress of the proposed line. Having shown that, after the Bill had passed the Commons last year, it had been thrown out by the House of Lords on that gentleman's opposition, and that that opposition had then been excited by the line passing o❑ the south side of the house, while, on the present occasion, the promoters sought for leave to pass on the north side of the house—the Learned Sergeant passed on to the landowners' objections to the Preston portion of the line, and especially to those of the corporation of that town to the site chosen for the station. GROUP XXXIII. LEEDS CENTRAL STATION. The clauses of this Bill were passed by the Committee this morning. GROUP XXXVII. The Committee were occupied the whole of the day in passing the clauses of the HARROGATE TERMINUS—YORE AND NORTH MIDLAND GROUP XLV. EDINBURGH AND NORTHERN (TAT, Irv!. PROVEIV/ENTS). The Committee met this day at twelve o'clock, Mr. TALBOT then opened the case for the opposition, pro moted by the Dundee Harbour trustees. The Learned Counsel proceeded at great length to examine the effect which the works sought to be constructed would have upon the navigation of the Tay, and contended that as their effect would be to impede the commerce of Dundee, and to injure its harbour, on which, since the year 1830, no less a sum than 600,0001. had been expended, the Committee should at once express their sense of the encroachments of the com pally by refusing the Bill. GROUP XLIX. This Committee met to-day at one o'clock; Mr. Cripps in the chair. All the other members present. EDIN33IIIiGH AND GLASGOW (AMEND MENTS, &c.) On the assembling of the parties The CHAIRMAN announced that the Crmmittee were unanimously of opinion that the preamble of the Bill was not proved. COMMITTEE THI on PRIVATE BILLS. (S DAY.) LIVERPOOL WATERWORKS. The Committee resumed this morning —Sir J. Johnstoße in the chair—and again took up the consideration of the clauses of the Bill, several objections being urged by Counsel on behalf of Mr. Standish, who conceives that he is not suffi ciently protected ; but these were set aside by Mr. Hudson and some other Members of the Committee.

(From the Dublin Evening Post.) The reader will ie ruse with deep regret a statement from the Carlow Sentinel regarding the failure among st the potatoes (for we would hope even against hope, that it will not prove general) in the Queen's County and i n Carlow. We shall say nothing ourselves on this distress ing subject—having all along exerted what influence we might be supposed to possess to warn the farmer a g ainst the potato—except to subscribe unconditionally to the opinion of our Carlow contemporary, that it would be absurd and mischievous to inspire hopes which may not be realised. Nay, it would be treacherous to the land lords and farmers of Ireland. Just as the preceding reference was about to be sent to the printer, we received the following communiea from the firm of Messrs. Higgins and Co., seedmell, ef College-greens— TO THE EDITOR OF THE " DIIIIILLW EVENIN G POST. Sir,—We hesitate not to communicate to y ou the result of an experiment made by us on the pot ato p lant, which, we regret to say, l ea ves but slender hop e of e Se uring the growing crops free from disease. Being of the opinion that there was very considerable risk in cultivating pot a t oes thi s season, tion we planted a few d sets in a green-house, which soon vegetated, he flourished beautifully until about a week ago, wh,,en t , e fatal disease suddenly, but certainly, appeared. un o f same day our attention was attracted to a small pl very ot ground, in which was growing, up to that time, of luxuriantly, a variety called early martin, the seed en which had been saved with th e u tmost care, having b d e to what is termed greened.

The potato crop 111 , s ,i oe sota looked healthy and luxuriant until it came into u itse lf in July ; then it was that the disease manifestedat generally ; but we entertain no doubt whatever was progressing steadily from a much earlier Puenrai`;:s although its effects were not visible.
