The House of Commons last night rejected the motion of Mr. WATSON for going into Committee upon his Roman Catholic Rel'ef Bill. Sir R. INGLIS'S amendment for throwir , g out the Bill altogether was carried by a majority of 39 in a division comprising 277 Members. We very much regret this decision. The arguments that were adduced in its favour are very far from reconciling us to its propriety. They were at once weak and bigoted. If they could he considered tenable, then not only was the de servedly lost, but they furnish Bill abundant reason for repealing all that has be en Roman c enacted by the L eg i slature in favour of the thel h ics since 1829. But does any one dream that w ea liberty the steps we have taken on behalf o f rtz t of conscience ? freedom from Can it be now-a-days questioned persecution on account of religious belief is t h e rule utters, abridged in their which governs modern legislation in a ll w here it is alleged that men are civil rights by reason of their having embrac e d again, embrac ofa par ti c ular creed ? Over and over 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 concessions made within the last eighteen years, the Roman Catholics laboured under certain statutable grievances, but urged there was no necessity for removing them, in asmuch as they were practically inoperative. This, however, appears to us t o be a good ground for th e ir 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 un4ra cions, 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 clutaatats complied of, after they have become obsolete, can only be explained by a suspicion being 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 SOVE 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 discovered 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 WrLDE 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 their professional 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 SALDANHA 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 Azemais. 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 quaffing 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 guese. Both those courses were open for her MA JESTY'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 bold stroke for the annihilation of the revolting party might have been 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 achLvements 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 loyalty, 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 or by a valiant sword-blow. Rile could not unravel the knot, he had it at least in his power to imitate the conduct of ALEXANDER, in cutting the entangled harness on the Phrygian chariot, by severing its involutions. But SALDANHA had a greater relish for a picturesque bivouac on the frontiers of Minho than for a charge upon the bayonets of Des ANTAS. His digestion was more fitted to the confections of the mess-table than to the banquet of carrion promised by the armed battlements of Oporto. He had no partiality for that field of apothecary-work where "Forty cannon throw up their emetic, And thirty thousand muskets fling their pills!" Meanwhile the beleaguered Junta has mustered its strength behind the ramparts of the city, and under' the shelter of SALDANUA'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 for 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 BANDEIRA. 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 the combined forces of SA DA 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 embaras.sments of SALDANIIA. 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 Dorista. MARIA, 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 expulsion of to be of J AMES 11. and CHARLES X. Supp os i ng driven to the uttermost, may not Dorn MIGUEL be the WILLIAM of Oran g e or the the Lours PHILIPPE of Portugal ? The Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Gaceta contains the official account of the ap pointment of General NAEVAEZ to be Ambassador to Ptoaris, and that of Senor LOPEZ DE LA TORRE AYLLON, estates against the embassy at Lisbon.

MADRID BOLSA, APRIL B.—The Three per Cents. were done at 321 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 201; the Debt without interest at 61; and the Cou• pous at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Chamber of Deputies voted on Monday, by a majority, 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 13111, 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 Debuts considers this a very insignificant attempt at remedying a great evil. It says— " The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of yesterday, discussed and adopted the Bill relative to the restitution of the caution money of railway companies. A year ago, when such questions were brought before the Cham ber, they caused perfect storms. Yesterday the EISicIII• bly gave only , a distracted attention to the Bill under discussion. It was because this Bill is only an insigni ficant 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 mrst of our great 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 alt eady cost it so teeny efforts, this incessant object of so many wishes frem 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 nothing, which have not struck a single blow with the pickaxe, and w hieh will certainly dissolve themselves, it au 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, for 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 profound 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 of which we are witnesses. That ought to render them somewhat circumsp,ct. But circumspection has 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 enterprises. 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 is not assuredly to say, that all demands must be admitted. Those recom mended by a great public interest must be received, and nothing else thought of. Many other considerations, 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 after whatprinciples the demands of the companies otn4ht to be appreciated; it seems to us that it should be first of all a.certained if the line 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. This line must be made, must be made promptly, must be made at every price. A day lost is an irreparable fault. It is certain that if the Government and the Chambers do nothing for this great line, a notable fraction, that from L) ons to Avig non, will be made in the tireek 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 in:erests of Ihe 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 au embranchment than to pus:Tone all?" General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA arrived in Paris on Monday, and immediately announced his arrival to Queen CHRISTINA, through the Spanish Charge d'Affaires. He 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 Rianzares, 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 BRESSON 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 Spanish Ministry, is about, as a last resource ► to try coaxing and flattery. It says— " We cannot know exactly what may bo 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 Heralds, naturally not very timii, and which does not cry for help wi hout grave motives, foresees deplorable events. All the parties, each one taking its own Font of view, fear, desire, doubt, and hope. What is most remarkable is, that, in the midst of this agitation, all eyes are turned towards the Ministry, and that, every one hoping to make it serve the accomplishment of its projects, no one thinks of openly opposing it. This state is intolerable, and at the point at which things are, everything may be conceived. The Ministry should take some step, for, since the dismissal of the persons who surrounded the Queen, the Progressists affect to tak. the defence of the Government, and to applaud its tendencies. These are mere tactics, but we must not allow it to he 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 Li ex tremely probable that the Emperor of RUSSIA. will visit Paris in th~ 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 and Turkey : " The following details respecting the facts which may have occasioned the report of the downfal of the Colletti Ministry I guarantee to you to be authentic. It appears that after the receipt 01 the di:patches from Constantinople, containing the ultimatum of the Otto man Government, a Cabinet Council was cated, and M. Colletti declared that he. could not accept such conditions without dishonouring himself, and that if any other person could devise m: ans to arrange the difference suitably, he was ready to withdraw. In this state of things Sir E. Lyons visited the King, and after having depicted the situation as exceedingly grave, recommended him to apply to M. Mavracordato. The King sent for that gentleman, and inquired what system he should propose to foilow in case he was 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. Mussurus to Athens. The King observed that that diplomatist was in continual hostiiity with his Majesty's Government, against ;which he was constantly starting difficulties; that in a short time another difficulty would arise; that such a state of things was nut endurable, and that he preferred putting an end to it a t once. Mavrocordato then withdrew, mid there the matter rested. It was thought at Athens that the King, notwithstanding his feeling towards M. Coletti 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 Pirmus, and M. Piscatory bad sent an express to the commander of our station to request him to concentrate his forces there." The Si&le has the following on the differences be tween the Ministry and the Committee of the Cham ber appointed to examine the estimates for Algeria : 4 arisenW We hav e extraordinary credits demanded for Africa. The Mi en th n e oti hi ce i d nistr t y he an d d iff t e h r e en n e n e m s m w it h te ie e h nn h t a h v e e Mi nister of Wor, having called upon the committee to take into consideration the communication which he had re ceived on the proposed expedition into Kabylia, has sent back to the committee the decision which M. Dufaure, the President, had transmitted to him. He declares, in the name of the Council, that this decision is illegal and unconstitutional, and must be considered as null, the King alone being invested with khesupreinp cp!umt! nd o f the army." The report which we mentioned yesterdsy, of the ° TILE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1847. appearance of A2D•EL-KADER in considerable force in the neighbourhood of Mascara is confirmed. The Ministers it is said have received some very serious in formation on the subject. Both the Siècle and the Commerce express their approval of the Bill for re forming the Tariff, as a 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 Villcle 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 route southwards, W:l3 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 icclination became more decided, and the Three per Cents. rose to 78f. It was then reported that a new fall of I 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 I per cent. in London. A new reaction took place in consequence, and that stock left off at 77f. 953.

CI7 Y, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, 1,000 bales being American, taken on speculation. The market was dull, though at about previous rates. American realised 65d. to 75d. per lb. In Railway Shares the business done was limited, and prices did nut exhibit any improvement. We have no account yet of the steamer from Halifax. Money in the discount market is worth about 55 to 55 per cent. on good bills, short dates having still a very decided preference. It is not expected that the directors of the Bauk of England will yet further advance their 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 earliest career of the establishment tht-re was consid,r able variation in its terms of discount. The authorremarks : "On its commencing business, the Bank seems to have charged the highest legal rate et interest, 6 per cent. upon all bills discounted, whether foreign, or inland, or home bills. In a few days, however, it ap pcars 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 • seen, 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 45 per cent. ; but is persons who would keep an account with the Ba-k, an inducement was hai nut for dying 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 tion:, the Governor and Company' seem to have been drivels to further expedients ; arid, for a time, all short-dated running bills or notes were takoi for discount at the novel rate ut 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 wete even more frequent than at pre sent, but the power of the Threadneetle-street magnates was then limited indeed, either for good or esil, coin • pared to what it is now. The Funds are not FO wi ll supported as they were yesterday, but business is slack. Consols are 865 4 for present transfer, and 864 to 875 for the May Account. Exchequt-r-bills have been par to 3s. discount. Bank Stock has been quoted 195 to 1935. 'the New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 875 to 5. Very little alteration has occurred in Foreign Stocks, but prices are as well supported as could be expected. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 258 5, and the Three per Cents. 36 to 364. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been quoted 354 to ; 354 Mexican Bonds have been done at 205 to 21 ; Dutch - Two-atid• a-Half per Cents. have been at 585, and the Four per Cents. at 90 to 895. Railway Shares are quiet at present. The settlement of the Consul Account, and the Foreign and Share Account, coming so near together, engage chief attention.

This being the first dn . ) of Easter Term, the Lord Chancellor took appeal motions.

MANN V. STEPHENS. This case came betore Lord,hip upon an appeal from the deci.,ton of the Vice-Chancellor of England, ordering the committal of the defendant for the breach of an injunction granted in July last, by which he was restraint d from erecting any brewery or building upon certain lends adjoinitz Windmill-hill, Gravesend, with the exception of one private and ornamental house on a portion of land known as The Dell. The appeal motion also asked for the dissolution of the injuneti,m. The ca6e occupied his Lordship the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) LATOUR V. HOLCOMBE. Mr. PALMER, on the part of the assignees of the plaintiff, moved hir an order to dismiss the bill with costs. It appearei that the plaintiff (Colonel Latour) became bankrupt, and his estate was sold by his as signees to the, defendant. The plaintiff filed a bill, to which the cl,fendatit demurred, which was dismissed, and the plaintiff had been in prison since for the costs of that suit. Mr. KINDERSLET (who, with Mr. Hilderton, appeared for the phintiff) stated that his client had been very badly treated by his assignees, and that the Vice- Chancellor, before whom the former cause was heard, had expressed a very strong opinion in favour of the plaintiff's case, supposing the allegations in his bill were substantiated. His client had every hope, in the course of a month or six weeks, of being able to raise the funds requisite to discharge the costs for which he was detained. His LORDSHIP (at the conclusion of the arguments) said that the plaintiff was no doubt entitled to the protection of the Court on a motion for the dismissal of a bill with costs. At the same time, nothing should be done to the derogation 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 he would grant the injunction. BAUNDERSON V. THE COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY. Th's 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 d.-tendants agreed to afford a suitable accommodation for .he plaintiff's cattle.

Mr. Kindersley 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 commencPd before the hodriays, ware restom-ti snd concluded to-day. His LORDSHIP directed the case to stand over, both parties having intimated their readiness to accede to the directOn of the Court, as to the manner in which the contract should be cpecifically performed. VICE-CHANCERY.—;THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND MOSELEY V. ALSTON—TILEDRoAD v. THE NARROW GAUGE. The further arguments in this part-heard motion for an injunction occupied his Honour the u hole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief.fustice DENMAN.) THE QUEEN V. ADAMS. Mr. LUSH moved for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the bodies of two elderly females, who had ben con fined in Whitecross-street Prison, and also applied for their discharge, as they had been in prison since 1844. They had pleaded guilty to an indictment, and the pro seoutor had refuses 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 the 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 been committed for contempt, but merely on the indictment for a libel. Mr. PEACOCK applied to the Court for time to allow the prosecutor to put in some affidavits before the parties were brought up for judgment. Lord DENMAN—We cannot keep them in prison to please your client. If they repeat the libel you can have them punished again, but as they have been so long con fined I think that they bad better be brought up. Mr. Lusa 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 up for judg ment for a most serious offence, on which you have al lowed judgment to go by default. You have been in custody for a very long pi-r:od, and the Court thinks that punishment enough. The judgment of the Court is that you each pay a fine of one shilling to the Queen, and enter into your own recogniz 'noes in 100 2 each to be of good bet avicur for the next two years. The Retnen.brancer then proceeded to read the form of recognizance, and said—You and each of you owe to Our sovereign lAdy the Queen the sure of 1001. Miss Mary Anne—We owe 100/.? How do we Owe tho Queog ra? We do iaot or; her The COVET—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 ourselves—the Lord DENMAN—YOU must not use such language. The itt-tneium sneer (showing the form of recogni zance)—Read this. Mi;s Mary Anne Adams—We won't leave the Court, we are determined to have justice. Lord DENDIAN—There is no harm intended to you, they are merely words. You only promise that you will not repeat the oNenee. Mis; Francis Adams—Oh, won't we though ? Yes we will. 7 (Llughtt r.) The R inetunratic‘r having read the form of rec,g nizance, en attempt was made to remove the ladies. Their removal was, however, a mater of much difficulty, for one fastened on the Solicitor-General, while the other firmly grasped the Attorney Gt neral. The usher of the Court attempted to remove them, but without success fur some time, unto the assistat ce of the police was called in, when the ladies were taken out amidst shouts of laughter, in which the Bench joined. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Bancu, btfor* Mr. Justice EBLE,) This C,,urt met at .ten o'clock, but there being no business to transact rose immediately. SHERIFFS' COURT.--(THIS DAY. (Beivre Mr. Unblur• 6heritt 13URC1ILLL.) WRIGHT V. 11A11811. This was an action to recover the gum of 121. 10s. on a bill of exchange. 1 he defendant pleaded that he did not accept the bill. Mr. TaussAs, who appeared for the plaintiff; called a witness, who proved that he went to Messrs. Mord,n and Co., in Croswell-street, where he saw a person v.ho admitted that his name was Marsh, and that the bill was accepted by him. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that this evidence was not sufficient, there must be some ider.tity. Mr. TuomAs said the case must stand over till they could get other evidence. Suaegtiently an admission was proved, and a verdict given for the plaintiff. GRIFFITHS V. HALES. The plaintiff in this action is a carver and gilder, and the defendant is a gentleman residing in Cam& n-gro%e, Westbourne-grecn. The action aas brought to recover the sum of 151. for goods sold and delivered. 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 defendant c‘ mplained that there were imperfections in the trarne, and said he could not receive it unless it ...as repaired. This Has done, but when it was taken back again the defendant re fused to take it. Mr. Fisu, on behalf of the defendant, contended that this was no delivery, ar.d, therefore, that the present action could not be maintained. The UNDER-SHERIFF held that there was evidence to go to a jury. A witness wa3 then called, who said that the glass was refu.ed by the defendant from the first, and that, although improved since 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 cas4i3 occupied the whole of the morning. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) Henry Susi' Ae, a cab-driver, was charged before Mr. Seeker with being concerned with two other men (not in custody) in break►ng into the premises of Messrs. Clarke und ft . hitby, of the Dover read, and stealing plate and articles of silk amounting to upwards of 150/ It appeared that a policeman of the M divis on, while on duty that mot nit% in the Dover-road, was informed by a rdranger that some goods were seen to be brought up through an iron grating by two suspicious looking men. He followed these men, and saw them approach a cab and deposit a huinile in it, after which the vehicle was driven forwards towards L•.'cg• lane, and the two men escat,ed. The poticernAn went in pur suit of the cab, which was driven by the prison r, and succeeded in stopping it, and inside it he found several articles of plate, besides up weads of 1001. worth of silk articles of various descrip tion:. When intormation v.as subs. quently 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 litiing up an iron grating, which led into a cellar underneath the warehouse, from which articles of silk, to the value of upwards of 1504, had been packed up ready for removal. The quantity or silk di.e , 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 'hem to Kent street, where he was to wait fur them, and they returned with a bundla, and, placing it in the cab, desired him to drive fo 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 policemon. Mr. bEcitEa remanded the prisoner for a week, until the other men wt.re taken into ctiatorly. CLERKEN W.ELL.-( T HIS DAY.) A young German, named John Pohl, who stated duo he had been resident in this country about five years, was charged before Mr. Greenwoo,i with ranking an attempt to shoot Mr. James Allred llaye, tobacconist, ut 34, Red Lion street., Holborn. Mr. Hiye stated that last night he saw the prisoner walking up and down before the door of his (witness's) shop, and owing to the prisoner having on several for mer occasions swore that he would take his life, he be- came alarmed, and previous to closing his shop requested two constables, who were on duty in the neighbourho. .d, to kr.ep a close watch upon the prisoner while he (Mr. Haye) was putting up his shutters. Before closing the shop, he stood at the door watching the prisoner, when he saw him half concealed in the recess of a public house door, and evidently obeerving him most intensely. As he (Mr. Ilaye) had put up the first shutter, he heard the click of a pistol lock, 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 for 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 produced 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, . 4 lam sorry I d;d not shoot him long ago—he knows he has been the ruin of me." The depositions w' re 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 kL)ITOR OF THE SVIC Sin,—As I anticipated in my last.epistle;:the Eticltd colt, otherwise Clermont, has found his opponents; 6° good for him at Bath, he having run a bad third to-bO l6 Burns and Rosin the Bow. The Handicap was infinite'y better than that of Newmarket; here Miss Burns (ehOPI I must confess I was rather astonished to findshe winner) had to give Clermont a very fair weight, 24 81b; while Rosin Inc Bow, a half bred son of Venison, only gave bib for his year. Atter this performance Clermont must res'gn all pretensions to the Chester Cup as •welt as the 11letropolitsn Stakes; for the latter he will i ? rir bably run forward, but nothing more. Miss Burns, it struck me, In k d very blooming, as she took her Pr." paratory canter, and at the lime I thought the fielders had a goodly animal in her, with only 7st to carry. On Fri lay the bantling of Mr. Beeton and the. Le cen,ed Victuallers of the metropolis, in the shape of th , e Great Metropolitan Stakes, will bring together a supert and sine the defeat of Clermont, a large field. At l f present time it is extremely difficult to g ive the name s . _ the starters, but few having arrived in the vicinity of 0 3 : Downs up to ten o'clock this morning.

SIR,—I beg to offer fur your acceptance the following remarks on the Newmarket First Spring Races, w hie commence on Monday. The first race on the list is a Sweepstakes of 50/. each; for which there are twelve subscribers, including Val le . and the King of Morven. Looking to the perform anc!, of the latter, I think he will be found good enough *". maintain the honours of the stable, especially as Ball" has so many other important engagements. The next race I must also award to the Goodwool! stable, for although Montpensier may start, he caringt have had sufficient preparation to com p ete with Devil me-care. Two matches, to be run for by animals of no merit, conclude the day'. sport. Tuesday's list contains the all-important Two Thou sand Guineas Stakes, for which there will be a field of about six or eight, including Glentilt, or Gabble, Libe. rater, Zipporah col r, Sister to Cobweb colt, Conynghsou Christopher, and most likely one of Forth's. I cannot have the Liberator, notwithstanding the vauntings of his owner. Christopher's public performances are not sue ° as to warrant me in selicting him as the winner. 00 : nyngham's merits are as yet a sealed book, but as I halo considerable resp( ct for the judgment of J. Day. I must caution your readers not to hold him too lightl i ; Glenda. is tit cidedly th i e fijoe b n e nt s ,, t ,st, p pl u r b ioe l f i : c vss ii e )e it r to fo ci r bu m eit e ei d n h atn o b r eo 3 fr e tosp i. e i tit; the race, and to him and John Day's crack I look for t he er. e tbwl w h r : h t , ae r ' t , n n es s n, eat t . , d h t i be a e l i le t ' e s i ' t t i w nt e ri a d r e r b )hi v gc l o : a t r r h ' tp : e e l ,,r a d . essevw.will start, declaration remarking, made e 4 v ic e u ry 6lY cl t e o arl t y he th d a e t e P la l r a a n t e io t n vi h a: v.i°o-1 intended T f h o r r e i e t. The Hundred Soya. Stakes, for four yref id i' looks as th oug h Scott ' s stable will win, either w i t h Sme" . ford or Nlowerina. The Coffee-room Stakes is a certainty for Projectile' should he be in his right form. On Wednesday there are only two races, besides t b i e f matches ; for the first I select Projectile, if be run s ' not, then Coningshy. Conspiracy will win the Handicap race for ib lif years old. The match between Alarm and The T rave rser, in whic t the latter receives a stone for his year, will, if rl . l ; be a very sporting affair. I don't think Alarm can S' the weight, a short length evidently suiting the You" one best. The other matches will most likely end in forfeits. t he There are only two races also on Thursday , first, a Hundied Suvs. Sweepstakes, has eight notuilt: Lions, wi th nothing that can have a chance with Epir'374 and Halo. The former, although I do not think good enough for the Detby, must surely be able to vi"" this, though with nothing to spare. - b The One Thousand Sovs. Stakes, for filliea, in will ° the names of Clementine and Slander are found, Will f f.. nish a clue to the chanci s of those two for the 040' I have a leaning to Clementine, with Slander close tit, The first race on Friday looks like a certainty for tug Duke of Bedtord, with either Bridle or Fistiana. ,A Remini:cence cannot lose the next race; and the til t" I accord to Sir J. Hawle) 's Piccinino. The Newinurkt t Stakes will be a race of some il l ; portance, inasmuch as Epirote, War Eagle, and C oasse : are likely to be ?itted against each other. To these, the u # : I leave the race, and select War Eagle to win, EPil'"" second. The match will certainly be a forfeit for War Eagle. I urn, Sir, &c.
