The learned counsel, in opening the case upon the part of the prosecution, stated that the prisoner and the deceased had been married for five years, but had latterly lived very unhappily together, and had repeated quarrels. Owing to th , temper of the prisoner altercations continued,' and finally they separated on the 28th of September last, the de ceased taking with her the youngest of their three children, au infant in arms, . and going to lodge at the house•of a Mrs. Cunningham in Bolton. It appeared that though the deceased lived at Cun ningham's, she went daily to take her meals at her mother's heuse ' • and about 7 o'clock on the even ing of the Ist of October, while at supper with her mother, the prisoner came in and it ke his wife to go home with him, but she positively refused, and he went away. In a few minutes he returned and met deceased and her mother coming out, and again he inquired if his wife would go house with him, and asked where they were going.. At last the deceased acceded to his entreaties, and con cented to accompany him, the deceased at that time having her infant in her arms. The two had not proceeded far when fresh words took place be tween them, and the prisoner gave deceased a push, and immediately afterwards he was seer, by a plan name Thompsnat-te,-put his left hand on deceased's eigllt shoulder and strike her with his rigiit Ti,e deceased exclaimed, " What are you and pushed away-the prisoner, who fell into the channel. They then parted, and the prisoner on recovering himself rushed after the deceased and struck her several times, and while she was in the act of felting he put his left hand round her neck, and with his right hand took from his side a large knife, with which he inflicted a frightful wound on her throat. A struggle ensued and both fell down; the prisoner then knelt upon his wife, and again. proceeded to cut her throat. Upon this he was seized by two men, who found the deceased bleed ing and lifeless, and, while endeavouring to get away from them, the prisoner succeed die cutting his own throat and fell on his back. The knife was Lund by his side covered with blood. These facts being clearly established, Mr. Fearnley addressed the jury for the prisoner, urging iu his defence the plea of insanity. The learned judge then went through the whole case very carefully, and The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner guilty. His lordship, in passing sentence, said that, in his opinion, there was no ground whatever for the defence of insanity, and told the prisoner that he could hold out no hope whatever for him. Sentence of death was then passed_ in the usual solemn form. • MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —NOTTINGHAM, DEC. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) James Wright, 39, farmer, was indicted for the wilful murder of. William Holland, at Girton, on the sth Sept. last. Mr. Boden and Mr. Bristowe conducted the pro secution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. The circumstlnces of this remarkable case will he beat gathered from the following statements of the Witnesses _ _ Joseph Holland, son of the late William Holland, said his father lived at Girton. He was a carpenter. In September last he was 49 years old. On the sth of September last I went with him to a clover field between 7 and 8 o'clock. It was about half a mile from his house. The clover field was the prisoner's. We took a fork each. We crossed the Gains borough and Newark-road, and then went along a footpath, and over a stile into the next field. Then we left the footpath, and went into a wheat stubble, and then my father went into the prisoner's clover field. My father and the prisoner had a dispute about this clover field. My father went over a gap in the hedge. The clover had been cut, and some was lying near the gap. I heard somebody coming. It was the pri soner. He was coming over some rails into the 'wheat stubble from the field where we had left the footpath. The footpath led to North Searle, where the prisoner lived. He had a gun with him. He came towards me as I was getting over the gap into the clover field. When he got to the gap we were in the clover field. He said, " Come out, come out I" My father said, "We shan't." Ho said that if we didn't come out he would blow our heads off. My father said that he might shoot, and also that he should take some clover, and then went further into the field. He then began t.) gather some clover with a fork, and Wright said, "D— you ; I'll be near enough on you !" He ran to some rails, went over them, and to a gate between the clover field and an adjo,ning field. That gate was close to the clover which my father was raking up. Theprisoner came up to that gate. He did not say anything. He put the gun to his shoulder and pointed it on my father. He only did it once then. But at the gap in the other field he had put it to his shoulder several times. My father was frightened, and came away from the clover towards the gate. That was the nearest way out of that field towards home. My father got up to the gate and came through it. The prisoner drew back about five yards, and then said, "D— it, I will shoot you !" and he shot him. He held the gun , 1 to his shoulder and pointed it to my father. It I was pointed a little downwards. When he was shot my father said "0, Lord! 0, Lord! Jem, I did not think you would have done this." Prisoner said he had done what he meant to do. He said also that if he could not have the laws of the country he would have laws of his own. I then helped my father towards home. The prisoner followed us, and Hammond and Hind came up as we were going home. Whe he was following us the prisoner said more than once that he had done what he meant to do. I went to Collingliaml , r the nearest doctor while Hammond and Hind assisted my father home. I did not see my father point the fork at Wright. • Charles Charlton, policeman, about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, September 6, apprehended the prisoner at his own house, and found there a double barrelled gun, one of the barrels of which had been re cently discharged. The otber barrel was loaded; When I took the gun down Wright said, "That's it." I took out the charge from the other barrel. It is about a usual charge. William Webster, policeman, went with last witness, and told the prisoner he came to appre hend him on the charge of shooting Mr. Hollani, of Girton. He answered " I certainly did it, but I did it in self-defence ; Holland ran at me with a fork." Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury for the prisoner, and, with a view to reduce the offence to that of manslaughter, commented upon the evidence that there was of a quarrel going on between the pri soner and the deceased up to the moment of the gun being fired, and suggested, as the most pro bable explanation of the transaction, that though the prisoner had used some threatening expressions, and wished to frighten the deceased from taking the clover, he had no real intention of shooting at him until,as he supposed at least, the deceased was about to attack him with the fork, u The learned Judge having summed up the evi dence, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and after remaining in consultation a short time found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The learned Juage, in passing sentence, said, that thejury had taken a merciful view of the case, and one which he did not disapprove, though he should certainly not have felt dissatisfied with a verdict of murder. Indeed, in this case, so far as moral guilt at all events was concerned, there was the very slightest line of distinction between the prisoner's crime and that of murder ; and as he would have been left for execution if be bad . been convicted of murder so now the intere,ts of justice rveitquudireefdorthlaifte.he sh o uld be sentenced to penal ser- YORK, DEC. 7.

THE INDIAN MUTINIES. (From a Correspondent of the Nonconformist) The following letter has just been received from the Rev. J. Gregson, who, as our readers will remember,- is acting as chaplain to General Have lock's forces at Cawnpore " eawnpore, Oct. 17. " The mutiny has by no means been suppressed, though its aspect has been considerably altered by the fate - of Delhi. That place is now entirely in our hands ; but it was, at the last accounts, com pletely deserted by the natives. Gen. Wilson holds it with a considerable number of troops, and is, I believe, reducing to order the surrounding dis tricts. He despatched a large force of 3,000 men, in cluding two batteries of horse artillery, and 700 ca valry, as a pursuing column under Col. Greatbed. This force has retaken. Allygurgh, inflicting se vere loss upon the rebels, and bas just had a most decisive engagement at Agra with the Nee much, 'adore, and Dholepore mutineers. These rebels, estimated at 7,000, with a large number of guns, some very heavy calibre, had for several weeks remained within a few marches of Agra, un decided what course to pursue. At last it was known they had determined to march against Agra. Colonel Fraser, in command there, at once sent urgent requests to. Colonel Greathed to come by forced marches to his succour. The latter at once complied. His cavalry and artillery reached Agra on the 9th, and the remainder of his forces, consisting of about 2,000 infantry, reached the Agri cantonments on the morning of the 10th, wearied, with a march of 30 or 40 miles within twenty-four hours. No one knew the enemy were so near, and the men had just taken their breakfast, and were enjoying a little repose, when their composure was disturbed by the abrupt and unceremonious intrusion of a 24-pound shot, and almost before they could turn round a body of cavalry began to cut up a few of their outsiders. It was now the enemy i tutn to be surprised. He thought I e had only a few militiamen to deal with, who would fall an easy prey into his hands, and knew nothing of the arrival of Greathed's force. He soon sa a his mistake ; our men, though taken unawares, were quickly ready, and not five shots had been fired before our artillery responded. The enemy made only a brief resistance—but he was hemmed in. Our troops formed, as it were, the base of an isosceles triangle, of which the other two sides were rivers. Towards these rivers the enemy was in evitably driven. Our horse artillery was too quick for their bullock-drawn guns, and our cavalry played sad havoc with their scattered and retreating columns. Gun after gun was captured, baggage was hastily abandoned, and the result was a com plete and decisive victory, with the loss of only three or four killed, and a few wounded, on our side. All the guns of the enemy (13 in number), baggage, &c., were captured, and the whole force most completely destroyed or dispersed. This vic tory, it is hoped, will have a most salutary influence in many quarters. "At the same time, there is no concealing that very much remains to be done. The country, for hundreds of miles, is swarming with rebels. Large bodies of revolted troops are roaming the country, plundering villagers, and extorting money from the wealthy. Multitudes, no doubt, are beginning to feel the hopelessness of their course, and are thoroughly sick of their unsettled, wandering life. And had our authorities been less liberal at first in their acts of conciliation, and less profuse in their offers of pardon to the rebels, when they had no power to punish, some concession, in certain dis tricts, might now be made with good effect. The rebels know tolerably well their strength ; and when we were powerless, all our concessions were laughed at witb supreme contempt, and looked upon as an acknowledgment of our weakness. Now, in many districts, where the rebels feel themselves thoroughly beaten, some act of clemency might induce manyof them t o lay down their arms, who will otherwise continue to fight against us from mere desperation. " Our force at Lucknow is as completely shut up as was the garrison before the arrival of Sir James Outram. We have a good military position at the Alum Bagh, two miles on this side of the city, with which we have no difficulty in communicat ing. A force of 700 men is there'• at present, with the baggage, a few guns, and a number of sick and wounded. But the city is still swarming with rebels ; and the communicatie a betwixt Alumbagh and Sir James Outram—who is on the other side of Lucknow—now can only be carried on by means of small, closely-written communications conveyed in the end of a quill, and swallowed, if needful, to escape detection. Still we have every reason to believe all is well w•th Sir James Outram and his party. Two days ago, a list of the survivors of the original garrison a , rived, and a most lengthy and cheering list it is. Very few of the officers have perished, and scarcely any of the non-combatants. The list has most agreeably Burp, iced and delighted every one. Again native rumour here speaks most favourably of Sir J. Outram's progress in the reduction of the city. It is generally credited that he was successful in taking a j tinge, or market, well stored with grain, and it is known they had plenty of beef before his arrival. This is a great matter, as at present it is impossible to send them supplies. But what is most decisive is that Maun Singh, the leader of the rebels, is trying to negotiate. A vakeel, or agent, came here with letters from him only this morning, and he is very anxious to come to terms of peace, provided his own interests are secured. He says he wants to treat with General Outram, but cannot send any one to the entrenchment as his messengers are shot down immediately. He professes himself willing to give up the contest if his own interests are secured. - Ho was told to withdraw his troops to a distance of five miles from Lucknow, and that then his message would be received. This I scarcely expect he will do. - It is believed the enemy is short of ammunition. They can obtain any quantity of saltpetre in Oude, but their sulphur is exhausted, and what little remains has been selling at most fabulous prices. Sir J. Outram has no intention of relinquishing Lucknow at present ; he could probably fight his way through the city back again, but it would be at great loss ; and as he can hold on he will wait till succours arrive. Very urgent entreaties had been sent for Colonel Great hed's column to come to his relief, but the neces sities of Agra rendered it impossible. Still, a column is very likely to be despatched from that quarter. We are also sec ri g daily rein forcemen' s, and as the first instalment of the troops from Eng land arrived a week ago in Calcutta, we may ex pect soon to have a large force here to go to his relief. Oude is now looked upon as the scene of the decisive conflict, but I scarcely think it will be very protracted or severe. The great probability is that the mutineers will disperse over the country ' in small bands, and unsettle the land for years to come by their rapine and brigandage. " At' Cawnpore we continue quiet, though large bodies of men are known to be wandering about at a distance of not many miles. The country below us is becoming much disturbed. Renah, which adjoins the Mirzapore district, has risen. The Rajah, who has throughout been a most steady friend to the British Government, and used his utmost eff, its to keep in order his disaffected troops, has been obliged to flee, and his people have risen. Swarms of the Oude people are said to be making for Gazegunge, between Benares and Allahabad, and others from the same place are threatening Azimgurgh and Jaunpore. The lloab and Rohilcund are still revelling in the unchecked freedom of their self -asserted liberty. " We cannot help acknowledging the good hand of God in his protecting care over Europeans throughout this rebellion. In how many cases does it seem as if he had poured confusion into the counsels of our enemies, restraining them from action when they could have injured us, and leaving them to a folly which invites their certain destruc tion. ' This was specially the case at Agra For weeks the rebels were inactive. The moment they acted we were ready for them. There are multi tudes of other instances not less striking. I think the worst is over. For years the country will be agitated, but I believe the British Gbvernment will rest upon a firmer and more equitable basis than ever. " P.S.---I forgot to say that most important documents have been found in the palace, impli cating not only the King of Delhi and his family, but also very many of the allied states of our Indian empire. But no treasonable correspondence of a date anterior to the Meerut insurrection has come to light. The Meerut outbreak atm the capture of Delhi by the rebels appear to have been a tempta tion to aspire at dominion which the King of Delhi had not the prudence or the courage to withstand. " October 21st. " There appear to be exceedingly plain indica tions that now the great conflict must take place in Oude. Lucknow is swarming with rebels, and in telligence is being continually conveyed to us here of large bodies of men crossing over to swell the ranks of the already countless hosts of the insur gents. The only compact body of• fugitives from Delhi were making to 01085 the river into Oude, about 20 miles above us, and last Sunday an expe-' dition 600 strong, u n d er Col. Wilson, weft to in tercept them. The expedition failed. The rebels swarmed the shore a n d h a d on ly two boats to cross in. Owing to the badness of the roads and the weakness of the bul:ocks, the guns could not be brought to bear ; but it was discovered that the rebels were only about three miles di-tant, and were in a p os iti on t o ren d e r them incapable of offering any formidable resistance. - The venerable colonel, who has seen, I believe, upwards of fifty years' service, did not think it prudent to detach any of his troops to attack them, so they were al lowed quietly and at their leisure to join their brethren in arms before Lucknow.. Other fugi tives in Lucknow and large bodies are continually crossing over in the wane direction, and in conse quence a very large tract of country ar. and Agra is now being rapidly brought under our rule again. , The Gwalior Contingent "still occupies a most anomalous position.. Thiy have refused to obey orders, and committed other acts of mutiny ; but they still remain in Gwalior, and have not yet taken up arms either against their own Rajah or our. selves. They have possession, it is said, of forty cannon, and number 7,000 men, and they may come yet to Cawnp ore , w hi c h i s little more than 100 miles distant. Nothing is more striking, or seems more to point out the finger of God iu these mutinies, than the vacillation and folly of many bodies of the rebels. When they could h Nre struck a severe and telling blow they did nothing but plot and scheme, and when their chance was gone, they madly rushed into the jaws of destruction. When Agra was defenceless they remained ivactive.for weeks, and came down at the very moment Great hed's force from Delhi was ready to destroy them. So there is every probability of its being the case with this Gwalior Contingent. Their day is gone by, and if they do not stir it is likely to be at their own cost. " Oui solicit I ) was chiefly centred in oad The garrison has held out bravely, end its relief by Gen. Havelock was very timely. Still, in one way, the relief has been a disadvantage. It has increased the consumption of food, without adding to their means of procuring it, and, as they were previously fast coming to the end of their stores, serious apprehen sions are occasionally felt on their behalf. Still I believe in the communications which came from Sir J. Outram (whose wounds must be nearly healed), little or nothing is said of scarcity of provisions— though I do know he has urgently requested that Greathead's column might come to his assistance, and it is now on its way to Cawnpore. This column has been very hard worked since leaving Delhi, and after the battle of Agra, on the 10th inst., it rested two days, 11th and 12 - h. On the 13th it tressed the river, and on the 14th m arc h e d fo r this place. It may 3e expected to reach here in five or six days at the latest, and there is little fear of its teaching Lucknow before any serious disaster has happened to Sir J. Outram. It will reflect great lustre upon Sir John Lawrence if this column should, after all, relieve Lucknow. Through his masterly administration of the Punjaub, not only was his own territory kept in peace, but he has also been able to raise more levies of troops, with out which Delhi could not have ben taken, and, in all probability, Agra not saved. The relief of Lucknow will be a fine climax to these brilliant achievements—especially seeing that all bas been done before a single soldier from England could reach the scene of conflict. The admiration of Sir J. Lawrence throughout India is intense, and I believe the general impression is, that nothing less than a kandsome pension and a peerage will be an adequate acknowledgment of his services. "The relief of Lucknow garrison by General Havelock was obtained at an immense cost. Out of a force of % 200 actually engaged, 250 were killed, including 16 officers, and 700 wounded, giving a total of 95U oat of 2,200 engaged. We hear fight ing is going on daily there now. Troops are now beginning to arrive from England. Still it will take a long time to get them up here, a distance of 620 miles. The steamers take nearly four weeks to reach Allahabad, and nearly another fortnight will be lost in marching here. By bullock-train, ar rangements have been made to despatch 150 men daily from Calcutta, but they will be a fortnight or three weeks in coming up, and must then travel night and day. By horse, dawb, and coach, ar rangements have been made for about fifty to come up daily, and they may reach in five days. Many weeks must consequently elapse before we can ex pect to have a large army here. wreckers on the barbarous coasts do upon hur ricanes and their consequent disasters at sea: We have here a little more modesty, and the greed of gain is not paraded quite F o nakedly as on the other side of the Atlantic, but still there is reason to believe—indeei one witness before the com mittee of last session spoke strongly to the fact— that upon more than one occasion powerful moneyed men in this country have operated system atically with a view to producing violent sensations of alarm in the public mind, and thereby bringing to pass a monetary pressure and distre4s, out of which they might subsequently realise large profits. But, then, it is said this disturbance of credit and pressure ought to have been permitted to progress till it had reached its-utmost limit, and it ought to .have been allowed to ran its career of destruction till there was nothing left to destroy. This course, it is contended, would have purified the atmosphere of the commercial world. It-would indeed. The Act of 1844, left to fulfil its mission, would have made elbow-room for itself much as _Robespierre, the incorruptible, did. I would be as reasonable to burn down the City of London in order to get' rid of some dozen dirty courts or alleys and a few " flash cribs." We perceive, of course—every persDn n)t obsti nately blindmust perceive—that therehaveprevailed to a con siderable extent, very - unjustifiable modes of dealing with money and with credit; but the remedy suggested by the advocates of the act, pure and sim ple, is far too costly for us to recommend its appli cation. It has been sneeringly said—Why do not those who ol.ject to the act propose a beher ? In good time we may ' • but let us first agree upon the precise nature of the problem with which we a , e deeding. The question Las been: treated generally hitherto as a question of currency. Wersay the question properly before us is not of that character. It is the system of banking, and of the management and regulation of credit that has produced our diffi culties, and we turn to the Bank Act of 1844, not because we find a note circulation, issuing from it, in deficiency or in excess as measured by the wants of the people, but we turn to it because we find it, in all periods of commercial distress or monetary pressure, from whatever causes arising, intervening with a most baneful influence—crushing the feet , le in the ruin, upsetting the steady, staggering the strong, and producing a state of mind, not only here, but all over the world, that brings the soundest enterprise to a check, and take') the bread of life out of the mouths of thousands and tens of thousands of hard-working men, women, and chil dren. And for what 7 To vindicate a theory. The act has not succeeded in making panic compara tively innocuous by spreading its diluted effects over a large space of time. Sir Robert Peel ac knowledged that in 1847. We see now that it is inoperative, absolutely at least for good, when spe culation is growing into mischievous dimensions that, powerful to punish, it is powerless to prevent, and that even its power of retribution it exercises so blindly, and indiscriminately pulling up the wheat with the tares, that everybody is agreed that par tial justice is too dearly bought by universal ruin. There remains the security for the convertibility of the bank-note. Much stress is laid upon this point. We confess we do not perceive, nor do we observe that it has been shown, how the Act of 1844 se cures the convertibility of the note better than, or even so well, as the act of 1819. It has endangered it on two occasions within 12 years. Will anybody contend that the Bank could have met its liabilitits if the Government Letter had not been issued ? They would have sold their securities. That is said. Will anybody tell us what would have happened if the Bank bad been driven to such an extremity as throwing their securities upon the market; will anybody contend that cash payments, under such circumstances, could have continued f Let Parliament then take, without hesitation, the course clearly pointed out by all the trials to which this act has been exposed ; let us return to the principles of the act of 1819, and let a commit tee be appointed to investigate promptly the cir cumstances of that enormous supplemental paper circulation represented by bills, and resting upon credit, and to obtain thorough information with re gard to the character and management of our joint stock banks. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee on Saturday next, at 2 o'clock. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Heron, 16, Comman der Chads, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward, to await further orders. Her Majesty's sailing corvette Juno, 26, Capt. Fremantle, will be paid off this day at Portsmouth. A report is current in naval circles that when the expected Channel squadron is ordered to assemble, Rear-Admiral Codrington will have the command. The Cuckoo, 3, paddle steamer.—lt has been as certained by the navy diver that there is no dun age done to the vessel except some of the copper being rubbed off. It is settled to tow her to Sheer ness for the purpose of docking her at once. At six p.m. yesterday she was hauled into the middle of the river, and will be towed away on to-day's tide. The Racoon, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. A. Paynter, and the Calypso, 18, apt. F. B. Mon• tresor, fitting for sea at Chatham, are being made ready with all despatch, and are both expected to be fit for sea on the 26th inst. Instructions were yesterday issued to the respec tive authorities of her Majesty's dockyards, order ing the whole of the Royal dockyard brigades to be forthwith disbanded. The clothing and accoutre ments belonging to the battalions are consequently to 1,) , 3 called in, the Lords of the Admiralty having considered that the large amount of expenditure incurred in maintaining the staff of officers and men composing the brigades does not render a com pensative return ; and there being no apparent prospect of their services being at present required, and considering that the time taken up in exercises, may be otherwise employed, their Lordships desire that arrangements may be made for the reduction to be carried out as soon as may be practicable as regards the stores, arms, instruments, Jrc., in their charge and custody. A court of inquiry, at which Commander Old field, R.N., presided, assembled on board her Majesty's steam storeship Rhadamanthus on Satur day last, for the purpose of examining into the came of the fire which occurred on board that vessel at Woolwich immediately after her arrival on the preceding evening. The proceedings necessary to the inquiry extended over that day and the follow ing Monday, when a careful examination of the engineers and others connected with that depart ment, and an inspection of the machinery, led to the conviction that the accident was solely attributable to the foul state of the boiler tubes, occasioned by the inferior quality of the fuel provided—viz., a mixture of Scotch and Welsh coals. The tubes, although examined and cleansed on the vessel's arrival in the Downs, were found choked up with bituminous soot, produced by the nature of the fuel. It appeared that after the fires were raked out from beneath the furnaces the body of soot collected in the tubes burnt with sufficient force to render them red-hot and ignite the casing. No blame is, consequently, attached to any person, the accident having been, under existing circum stances, clearly unavoidable. The Rhadamanthus, according to previois regulations, is ordered to be paid off on the 15th inst. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieutenant J. S. Tonkin, to the Excellent ; H. S. Mandeville, mate, to the Lynx ; Charles T. S. Kevern, surgeon, to the Cornwallis ; Wm. Roche, assistant-surgeon to the Naiad ; Adolph E. Parks, second master to the Dasher ; and Philip Syoret, second master, to the Sharpshooter. TEE BANK CHARTER ACT. (Front the Morning Post.) It becomes very advisabletbat the public and the Parliament should clearly understand and define what lies before them to do in the matter of the monetary affairs of the country;: for surely never has there been such misrepresentation or misappre hension, and such an abuse of terms, as upon the present occasion, as to what has been done; what ought to have been done, and what may be done. Let us take shortly a review of the main assertions to which currency has been given. It has been said that the bank-note circulation of the country has been unduly tampered with and depreciated, and that a most injurious effect has been unfairly pro d uced upon the value of both money and commodities whereby those wealthy men whohavehoardedmoney under the influence of a prophetic perception of the dead-lock to be induced by the free action of the Act of 1844 have been wickedly debarred from making all the profit they had anticipated out of commercial prostration and national distress. Ith as been said by one of the foremost of those men who have been accumulating large fortunes through the vast fluctuations in credit and capital, caused by the influences of the Act, that the progress to insol vency and ruin ought not to have been interfered with, that the play ought to have been played out, and destruction suffered to have unchecked sway ; that Lord Palmerston aught to have _suffered the whole commercial edifice to have b e en burnt to ashes, for the sake of seeing w hether it would no t spontaneously rise a phoenix, brilliant and purled. It is said that it is possible by the aid of an Act of Parliament to increase or decrease at pleasure the currency of the country, and to control the ebb and flow of bullion, and to regulate mercantile speculation. This last property was once attributed to the Act of 1844—indeed, itwas one of the original and main objects aimed at in ifs creation. Sir Robert Peel having; however, admitted iu 1847 that in this respect, at least, his device bad utterly failed, we presume we may refrain from touching on that point, and may turn our attention to the other propositi( it to which we have referred. It is a mis-statement of facts to say that 2,000,0001. have been added to the circulation, and it is an abuse or a misapprehension of terms to represent that circulation as in any degree debased. There has been an increase of bank-notes to the amount of 2,000,0001., as between the Issue department and the Banking Department of the Bauk of England, no doubt. That sum has passed from the former to the latter upon approved securities, but that has been simply a transaction between the the htcomewtehope departments public. h i o e nT a s i b aid e eopotfuwf public lhe h i n e e Bauk, e two departments, the one being enabled by the a tf u n e t d ho o e suspension o th t a h e ue Bank nb kuto That if of t ii England n t h t e r o u t e A t o c r has never held the half of those notes, nor have half of them ever been issued beyond the walls of the Bank, and those that were issued have since been returned to it. The Banking Department has always had the advantage of the additional strength conferred by the one_half of the excep tional issue, and- now it has the advantage of the whole. Where is the depreciation In the infu sion of the nine hundred and odd thousand which for about a fortnight has been in the hands of the public ? Surely nobody will be induced to believe such nonsense. .Neither has money been made cheaper. The Government susteutation of the rate at 10 per cent. prevented that. Money has been made acces sible, and produce, property, and real securities have been restored to a conditii.n of convertibility. That is what has been done, and it has s ived the nation from frightful results. But the infu sion of the notes actually taken into circulation would not have filled up the gap made by the hoarding induced by the alarm of the frightened or the cunning of the greedy. It was the confidence restored to the former by the measures of the Government which balked the cal culations of the latter, and set free the springs of commerce so fearfully cramped by the Act of 1844. Hence this anger, and those frenzied denunciations which are daily thundered in our ears by the organs of that moneyed interest which makes wealth out of distress. For the disappointments of that clips we have no regrets. Our sympathy is for that moneyed interest which is engaged in the commer cial and manufacturing industry of the country, and upon which the depressed and struggling ope ratives of the kingdom are dependent for their social position and their daily bread. En America there is a large recognised party who systematically work for a panic, who make a business of creating sensations, who exult in distress, and look upon commercial destruction in the same spirit that GUN-BOATS FOR INDIA. This day the first of 25 small iron• screw gun boats, ordered by the East India Company for service in India, arrived at the dockyard from the premises of the builders, Messrs. Sir J. Rennie arid Co., and after receiving on board Mr. Partridge, assistant chief engineer of the factory department, proceeded down the river on a trial trip, in order to test her screw machinery. The result was highly satisfactory, and the rate of speed obtained was nine knots per hour. These boats are decidedly the most complete specimens of " miniature" naval ar chitecture which have yet been turned out of hand. They are intended for service in the numerous shallow creeks which are connected with the Ganges, Jumna, and other rivers in India, and are conse quently constructed to draw about two feet of water. Each boat will be armed with one 12-pounder gun, which can be fired, not only from its carriage placed about the centre of the deck, but can be shifted with the utmost rapidity to swivels which are placed at various parts of the deck in order that the weapon may be directed against any given point. The interior fittings of the vessel, and especially the compact Saloon cabin, elicited general admira tion, f ie -1: 1 4 SP APEII hie' r r tho An 'IF 1111. t til t ' one 'ower a- 7.'w w as the •ve.

NORTH WALES CIRO:TU.—CHESTER, DEC. 8. (Bff 're Mr. Baron Cnann .11-) THE BRAMH ALE MURDER. This morning James Ferguson Henderson, a ge d 32, formerly cashier to Messrs. Saunders and Smith, cornfactors, Manchester, was placed in the dock, charged with the wilful murder of his father, Mr. James Henderson, a farmer, residing - at, Hardy's Farm; Bramball. The charge against the prisoner was that, on the night of the 29:h of Sept. last he shot his father while the deceased was asleep in his bed. From th 3 respectable position of the accused and his family and the peculiar circum stances, of the case the trial caused unusual inte rest, and the court was much crowded. Mr. Welsv, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Horatio Lloyd conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Serjeant Parry (specially retained) and Mr. Macintyre appeared on behalf of the prisoner. The prisoner, who is rather a small and dimidn= tivc , person' and light . codivletioned, wit a sharp cs.uritenknee, on being plaOed 4 the har plei•tled Clulty." Mr. Welsby r in a very speech, shied the case on the part of the rffosocution, and first called Joseph Axon, who deposed to the correctness of a model of the deceased's house, which he had pre paeel. [The model was produced in court, and placed on the table during the trial.] There are 38 witnesses, and it is not expected the case will terminate before to-morrow night, POLIO EINTELLIGENCE.--Dec. 8. MANSION-HOUSE.—William W. Thompson, traveller to thr firm of Messrs. Jones and Co., of Gracech nrch-street, oil merchants, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged .with having em bezzled several sums of mousy amounting to up wards of 2,000/.. _ _ _ Mr. Wontuer appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphries and Co., at tended for the prisoner. Mr. Wontner said the prisoner hul been in the employment of the prosecutors about seven years, and it had been lately discovered that he had em bezzled several large amounts, but it was intended on the present occasion to prove no more than one case in order to justify a remand, and to bring up the prisoner again after the necessary communica tions with the customers. who were at a distance from the metropolis. Mr. C. J. Jones said—The prisoner has been in our employment as a traveller in the north of Eng land and Scotland. He commenced his last round in the month of October last, and returned to town on Saturday. It was hi., duty to keep a cash-book, in which he was to enter every account he received, and on his return to present that book and hand over his balance to us. He came to the counting house yestLrJay and handed over 91. 2s. 6d. as the balance of his last journey. He then went away through a side door, although I expected him to wait, and he got, I believe, into a cab. I have looked over the accounts of his last journey, and I found, according to my estimate, a deficiency of upwards of 2,0001. We have a customer of the name of W. Benuington, at Stockton-on-Tees, who was indebted to us in Sept. in the sum of 661. 9s. I have, in consequence of suspicions which we enter tained, written to Mr. BenninWon, and have re ceived an answer to the effect that the amount had been paid to the prisoner on Sept. 3, his last jour ney but one. On his return last time that sum had been entered in the cash book, but the e ,try had been erased, and it was not posted in the ledger. He never paid the money to us. I believe that if .your lordship remands the prisoner I shall be able to prove that he Lan embezzled to the amount of upwards of 2,0001. _ _ _ Mr. Morgin said he could not object to the ap plication for a remand of his client, but he hoped the Lord Mayor would order the restoration of cer tain pipers which had been taken from the pri soner, and which could not be of any use to any one else. Mr. Wontner said the papers alluded to were connected with betting transactions injwltich the prisoner had been engag.xl, and to the payment of which the money embezzled htd beau in all proba bility appropriated. It would therefore be neces sary to examine the papers for the prosecutors. The Lord Mayor—Cartainly. The papers must b 3 examined before they can be returned to the prisoner. Mr. Morgan—Money to the amount of 301. or 351. has also been taken from the prisoner, and I hope your lorlship will order the return of that money. The Lord May0r....1 don't, see how I can do so. That money is probably part of the proceeds of the alleged plunder. Tue prisoner was then remanded. SOUTHWARK.--The two coloured girls who were first brought to this court on the charge of begging in the streets, and who stated that they were fugitive slaves from America, attended to hear the result of an investigation into the truth of their story which has been recently undertaken by the Mendicity Society. Mr. Ferguson, the chief clerk of the society, stated that the elder girl was living with a Black man in Crown-court, Wentworth-street, and the younger with an Irishwoman, said to be her mother. The father of the younger had been found in Chel sea Workhouse, where she often visited him, and left money for him. A letter hod been received from Greenock, at which port the girls had stated that they arrived in a vessel named the Jane, in forming Mr. Ferguson that no vessel of that name had been in Greenock for 18 months. The younger girl denied that she had ever been at the Chelsea Workhouse, but the porter, assis tant-porter, and storekeeper having sworn to the contrary, Mr. Burcham said they had grossly deceived both the public and himself. There ha I been several sums of money sent to him by benevolent persons, and they had likewise received a small sum weekly during the investigation, but now they would have no mire, as he was of opinion that they did not deerve it. According to the testimony before him, the younger was clearly an impostor, and there could be little doubt that they were both so, and that the old woman lived on their collections. The public would no doubt be made aware of the circumstances through the me dium of the pre,s, and the residue of the funds in hand sent for their use would either be forwarded to them, through application to Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, or it could be applied to the uses of the poor box. He told the girls to leave the court, and mind that they were not taken into custody for begging. If they were, they would be severely punished. The girls then left the court very much dejected. THAMES. —Andreas Adam, the master, and Wilhelm Volcksted, the steward of the Hamburg ship Semiramis, from Bimhay, were sentenced to pay 1001. each, or be imprisoned for six months, f or s muggling 1 9 ibs. of Cavendish tobacco and shipli Theodore s . ito Ranger, 0g eAndrews, r c igars. n draws, third mate of th e A mer i can was fined 40s. for striking Martin Hawkes, one of the crew, a blow in the face. With respect to the affairs of the London and Eastern Bank, now under a conditional winding-up order in the Court of Chancery, a strong desire is felt that the O cial manager should be some person who, up to this time, has taken n o p ar t i n t h e winding-up prix""ing privately or out of court. Any one known to have been a friend of any director whose conduct or debt may form the subject of compromise must be oleatly objec tionable. adjourned m n ee k tirg of the shareholders was held to-day.
