Aftrse• - :.•••• :.•••• Itself the Cabralist faction—and for anything I knowl they may be worthy of the name they have chosen to assume—if such men and such principles are influ ence thefuture Governmentof Portugal, thet mere is no se curity for peaoe, no security there for conlinued attachment to the Crewn.—(Hear, hear.) And then, indeed, it will not be in the power or England longer to give that ad vice, and to lend that assistance, which I think she can freely give and freely lend, and which I hope will be effectual for the single purpose for which they have been given and lent—to maintain an ancient monarchy, and to obta'.n from that monarchy guarantees for constitu tional freedom.—(Great cheering.) BOWRING said that the Right Hon. Baronet brad advocated the propriety of introducing constitu tional principles into the Government of Portugal, but he had not referred to the history or the origin of that state of things which led to the present unhappy condi tion of that kingdom. Intervention in the internal affairs of that country was, in his opinion, exceedingly Mischievous, and he considered that the result would be feelings of dissatisfaction among all parties and the in volving of this country in consequences which no one could anticipate. The Hon. Member was proceeding to detail the circumstances which had led to the insurrec tion, and especially to the arbitrary acts of the Cabralist faction, when An HoNottantx MEMBER moved that the House be counted, and there being only 27 Members present, the House stood adjourned till to-morrow.

SUICIDE THROUGH JEALOUSY. —Friday afternoon W si investigation was opened at the Angel, ebber-street, Blacicfriars-road, before,Mr. William Payne, the C oron er for the city of London and the borough of Southwark, touching the death of Charles Russell, a rug weaver, of 28, Gray's street, Blackfriars-road, who died from the effects of poison on Sunday last. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased, who was nineteen years of age only, had some time since quarrelled with his sweetheart in consequence of having heard that she had walked a few days ago with another young man. Deceased was occasionally very violent, and the young girl with whom he associated swore that she was frightened at him. After some consultation, the jury ioUnd as their verdict, " Temporary insanity." A investigating the merits of practical measures proposed by the Government and others for the good of Ire land, and to the emanating of such by themselves as they may believe would be best conducive to the same end. Far better this than making the miserable effort of distracting the minds of the people with the unattainable project which Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL says should be made the rallying cry at the forth coming elections. According to the Carlsruhe Gazette his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of RUSSIA is expected to arrive at Stutgard towards the close of next month, and magnificent preparations are already commenced for his reception. Prince TSCHERNITSIIEW, with several other emi nent personages, has obtained permission from the CZAR to journey in countries beyond the Russian frontier. By an express which has reached us from the Tagus, having started on the 9th instant from Lisbon, it appears, that the squadron captured by the British, off Oporto, has been consigned to the Go vernment of Queen MARIA Di GLoRIA. The prize is estimated at somewhere about 200,0001. On the Bth inst. Marshal BUGEAUD had arrived at Cette. Report says, that all the English officers engaged in the seizure of the troops and property of the Pro visional Junta, are to receive "decorations" from the Cabinet of Lisbon. We presume that these symbols of distinction will be distributed rather in gratitude for the late ingenious settlement of affairs, than for any very heroic exhibition of courage. A Court of Inquiry has examined into the conduct of Lieutenant CRAWLEY of the Gladiator, for having directed shots to be fired into the Portuguese corvette whereby the life of a Portuguese soldier was sacri ficed. Mr. CRAWLEY stands acquitted. While the Junta have expressed their readiness to accept the terms of the British intervention, the QUEEN'S Government continues to assert its wil lingness to fulfil its part of the engagements. About the only remaining obstacle to the imme reconciliation of the belligerent parties in Portugal is the obstinate and gallant chieftain SA DA BANDEIRA, who persists in holding out until he shall have re ceived authority for his submission.

A. ridiculous rumour is given utterance to in the Faro, to the effect that ABD-EL-KADER had forwarded an autographic letter to Queen IsABELLA, entreating her puissant mediation between himself and his Majesty Lours PHILIPPE. The report is most im probable, or, supposing it to be in any degree correct, it could scarcely be regarded.as anything more than a pleasant piece of badinage, a sort of don't-you-wish you-may-get-me-joke on the part of the übiquitous but invisible Arab. Monsignor BRUNELLI is said to have entirely failed in his endeavours to effect a reconciliation between King FRANCISCO and his royal wife : the former is agitated by all kinds of old wives' tales from the lips of the creatures of Queen CHRISTINA, at the head of which delectable clan is the Duke of GLUCKSBERG. --- • - BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 15.

North-Westprn Railway (Diversions at Skipton, Cas terton, and Sedbergh). LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the London Sewage Chemical Manure Bill were considered and agreed to. Considerable excitement had been caused by the publication of an article in the Tiempo (one of the presumed organs of the Government); which asserted that previous to the memorable double nuptials, her MAJESTY had emphatically expressed her personal an tipathy to Don FRANCISCO, and her repugnance to any such alliance. The entrance of the Spanish troops into Valenza do Minho is described in almost all the Madrid newspapers. It is expected that General SERRANO is shortly to receive his appointment as Captain-General of Madrid. _ _ SMITHFIELD-MARKET.

But, should all this prove to be true, the inter ♦ention will, nevertheless, remain to be regretted. We have thereby virtually destroyed the moral force of our external political policy. We have restored to all the great powers the right of interfering in their turn wher ever it may seem good to them, or may be induced to ex ercise it for their own interests, or the gratification of their own fancy. How can we ever presume to prevent them, after having set them the example? If it should to-morrow please Austria to intervene in Italy, in the Roman States, or elsewhere, upon what principle could we attempt to arrest the march of her troops? We should not even have the right to protest, and a new expedition to Ancona would not only be dangerous, but ridiculous! This is the most serious point in which to view this affair. Whether M. Guizot has taken the initiative, or only gone along with Lord Palmerston—a truly worthy associate—in this intervention, the con sequence is precisely the same. Jr. either case we have violated the principle which constituted our strength in our foreign relations—we have served the cause of England at the expense of our own dignity—and thus depriving ourselves of the only means of defence left us for the future—the independence and freedom of the secondary states. Never was there a fault committed so rashly that hat been so disastrous in Us consequences. It will be discovered hereafter, but unfortunately too late 1" The Constitutionnel is yet more impassioned in the indications of its wrath : it exclaims— Absolutist d G S o . o v u e , r Governments Autocrat of Europe—you, uop Russia,e y f pardon u o \t our d o Metternich, : i k ts n e ? f w f w or el a l, rs is om on e e nt o tu y ti t . t r , ttr- C do a n bi i n t e f t o , r v*i having lie a s lent you dices of this mischief-maker, this revolutionist, P LTrd - Palmerston ! Must it not obtain permission to be admitted' to the arrangements that may be made with respect to Portugal I It solicits that grace; you see that it is obliged to concede something, at least in words, to the intractable Liberalism of this English Minister ! Pardon, then, this feebleness of M. Guizot; he will make it up to you with usury when Switzerland is in question." In a similar strain the Union Monarchique ob- serves— " This intervention rests on no principle whatever. As to England, the matter in hand was to assume the dictatorship, and to exercise it by the intermediation of her agent, M. de Palmella. As to France, it is different - -with her, nothing can be seen but a desire to evince her servility to England." The Courrier Francais says : "As to the part which M. Guizot has played in this . a tin: f ame. Guizot affair, woi tvnhad ai hardly gedannatnth k ioeo n tne o c.o w ounrwca w egie h ve e ec t t h aobn e o r pwhr i a t ehrsede p nle r yt o a d nua u nl hl c da e etv s rhese m tesaze o nh s d t idb c obi o ctoe n uwd - - to light the shameful snare which Lord Palmerston had laid for him. The English Minister has conducted the negotiations in such a way as to throw on France all the odium of the crime now consummated in Portugal." The Commerce, in like manner, observes upon the convention proffered to Portugal, that M. GUIZOT has "yielded to the brutality of English policy." The Journal des Debats is virtually silent upon the matter; and the National mentions it in a tone of rage, tempered by a sentiment of sorrow. " Of the three foreign Powers," it remarks, " who had signed the protocol France is the only one which has refrained up to this moment from actively co operating in this violation of the national rights of Portugal. Still she has morally been an accomplice in the transaction, and her signature at the bottom of the protocol, as well as the presence of the national standard floating on board a brig-of-war in the middle of the English squadron, and assisting as a shame ful witness in the events we have described, attest the melancholy part which our Government reserved for themselves in the deplorable act there (at Oporto) accomplished." 'We have given these extracts from the Parisian press for the purpose of indicating the unanimity of our French contemporaries in a feeling of ardent devotion to the sanctity of constitutional privileges. We sym pathise to the uttermost in their reverence for that great principle, but we are satisfied, after the accept ance of Mr. DUNCOMBE'S amendment, and the mas terly explanation of Mr. MACAULAY, that they are entirely mistaken in their notion of the culpability of the British Government. The Courrier Francais announces that arrange. merits are being made for the settlement of a comma cial treaty between France and Greece. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUdRTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 500 bales of American on speculation, and 500 for exportation. Full prices were obtained, and the market had a steady appearance. In Railway Shares there was a further improvement, and a considerable business was done at firm rates. The tone of the Share Market was healthy yesterday, in the absence of any great demand, and there was a consider able improvement in the prices of Railway Shares at the sale by Messrs. Lamond and Co. The following are a few of the principal sales : South Staffordshire £l 19 0 Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire .... 010 6 Shropshire Union and Canal 2 4 0 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 4 15 6 West Riding Union ... 4 2 0 Louvain it la Sambre Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 1 7 6 Birmingham and Oxford Junction ..... 16 19 0 Eastern Counties . 20 10 0 Eastern Counties. York Extension 6 15 0 East Lincolnshire Great Northern London and Blackwall ... ............... 7 12 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 5 3 0 Tho result of the debate, in the House of Lords last evening, upon the subject of the intervention of her Majesty's Government, has been received with satisfac tion among parties connected with the trade with Portugal, and by the creditors of that kingdom here. A confident opinion is entertained that a more stable ad ministration of the political and financial affairs of Portugal will be the result, by which all may be benefited. After the division in the Lords last night, the division in the Commons, should one be persevered in, is little heeded, as but few persons ever anticipated that the Mi nisters would be left in a minority upon the course which has been adopted towards England's " ancient ally." It is considered as a remarkable circumstance, that when the policy of the Government was so mate rially impugned by some, that there were at the division in the Upper House only 113 Members, and that the discussion in the Lower branch of the Legislature was cut short for the night by the House being counted out by a little before eight o'clock, when but 27 Members were present. Even Lord George Bentinck was absent. The arrivals from foreign parts do not bring later in telligence generally. A great many letters have come to hand from New York, by the Washington, and for the most part they confirm what has been previously stated as to the ample supplies of grain. It will probably be ascertained on 'Change this afternoon, whether the orders for goods by this opportunity are liberal. The Funds are rather heavier to-day, and there have been one or two speculative sales. The weather, ac cording to the Bears, is calculated to render the harvest somewhat later than expected, and corn is said to be at Monday's rates, although not much is doing. Our corn reports, however, will show the truth of the matter. Consols have reached from 88,1 t to 87i ex dividend. Exchequer-bills are firm at 7s. to 10s. premium. In the Foreign market there is not much doing, ex- cept in Portuguese. The Four per Cents. havebeen 32} to 33i. Mexican Stock is quiet at 20k. Spanish Bonds are merely nominal. Dutch Four per Cents. have realised 89. Shares are much the same as yesterday, but are in fluenced, as usual, by the temporary re-action in Consols.

The coroner's inquest on the bodies of those who perished from the late fatal and melancholy accident on the North-Western Railway terminated its pro ceedings yesterday, by returning a verdict of man slaughter against BARNARD FOSSEY, the policeman, by whom the train was turned into the siding, and accom panied their decision by observations to the effect that the company ought to be more particular in the se lection of officers for posts of such importance to the safety of the public as that lately occupied by FOSSEY ; that FOSSEY should have been dismissed immediately on the commission of the former error of which he had been guilty on the 31st May, and that every train should have a number of breaks and guards proportioned to the size and weight of the train. In a matter were the public safety is so deeply concerned—in which there are few, indeed, who are not in some degree interested—it be comes a question of the deepest importance that every possible precaution should be adopted to obtain the greatest degree of safety, and to preclude the pos sibility of future accidents of a similar descrip tion. It is, indeed, a startling fact, that of 6,000 persons in the employment of the com pany, there are no less than 4,000 who have a control, more or less, over the lives of the public. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to suppose that some one deficient in some respect may not be ad mitted amongst the number. The slightest want of nerve, the most trivial negligence, may occasion some fearful calamity. The company may have exercised the greatest cars in the selection of fit and proper persons to discharge those responsible duties, and yet be deceived in some few instances. The strongest testimony was afforded by Captain SrsimoNns, who attended on the part of Government, as to the ad mirable general management of the North-Western line, a compliment which we believe was fully merited. But the very excellence of the manage ment strengthens the argument for some additional precautions. The less the blame that may be im putable to the company, the greater the necessity for some further supervision. Why should there not be a board of public safety, who should decide on the measures to be adopted on every line through out the kingdom. Such a board of competent persons should investigate the causes of every accident that has hitherto taken place, and direct the number of men to be employed in all the departments. They might subject all candidates for employment to a preliminary examination, in which they should prove their knowledge of all that came within their sphere of duty, and their general efficiency, and no persons should be eligible who had not received a certificate of competence with respect to the particular class of services on which he was about to be engaged. Such regulations might, in the first instance, occasion a little additional expenditure to the different companies, but eventually it would be found that the increased cost would be more than compensated for by the dimi nution of accidents, one of which would occasion a greater pecuniary damage to a company than the pay of many additional servants. A weighty responsibility, too, would be taken from the directors. They will still be subjected to blame, no matter how undeserved it may be, while the system continues in its present state. This could not be the case if the person inculpated had gone through the ordeal of an examination conducted by persons un connected with the company, and who could not be in any degree prejudiced in favour of the individual brought before them. There should also be a regular periodical investigation of the works, the state of the permanent way, the rails, the carriages, engines, &c., by persons of skill and ability, in order to insure their sufficiency. By such means, although it may be impossible to do away with accidents alto gether, they may be rendered of less frequent occurrence, and their results less formidable. The suggestion of the jury, with respect to the number of breaks and guards, are of such obvious utility that we doubt not they will be immediately adopted in every district. Any present negligence on the part of the directors of any of the companies would probably enhance the stringency of the regu lations to which they would be subjected. We shall hope that the subject may speedily receive that atten tive consideration which its vast importance, and the necessity of due protection for life and limb, so ur gently demand. At the last weekly meeting of the Repeal Associa. tion Mr. JOHN O'dosNELL,M.P., urged the neces sity of impressing the Irish constituencies wish the duty of returning at the general election those candi dates only who were Old Ireland Repealers. As be tween the parties, divided under the respective titles of Old Ireland and Young Ireland, looking to the principle of physical force enunciated by the latter when it was first embodied, and to the fact that it has never since been renounced, and that the tenacity with which they clung to it perpetuated the breach which took place between themselves and the late Mr. O'CoNNELr., we should certainly prefer that Members for the new Parliament should be selected from the Old Ireland Repealers. But as we have ever thought from the first that the cry of Repeal is a mere idle phantom, a political chimera, that finds its only resting-place in morbid imagina tions, so do we feel still more strongly that, to attempt at this moment to incite the electoral body with the notion of dismembering the empire is as wild a political freak as could be sanctioned by any set of public men. Many who, some few years back, indulged in the dream that a Parliament might shortly be constituted in College-green, and be found to be a panacea for most of the social ills under which Ireland was suffering, have already re signed their idle fancies in favour of the dis passionate lessons of sober judgment. At length they are, for the most part, becoming fast persuaded of the truth that their past disorganization is attri butable much more to social than political griev- ances, that, with respect to the latter, the Imperial Legislature has gone far in the path of redress from 1829 downwards, and that, touching the former, the Senate has shown every disposition to mitigate, and finally to eradicate and abolish them, so far as legislation can subserve to the same. Men perceive likewise now-a-days that many of the measures recently propounded by the Government have not ,been welcomed by the Irish landlords, and that, therefore, in so far as they are calculated to compel the affluent to discharge the duties incidental to property for the improvement of the condition of the humblest classes, their chance of acquiring these boons is infinitely greater than it would have been had a domestic Legislature been in existence to take them into deliberation. Others there are, too, who hold in remembrance Mr. O'CoNNELL's declaration, that if England and Scotland united to labour in the Parliamen .. _ of Great Britain to elevate Ireland to the same poli tical and social level which they respectively enjoyed, the standard of Repeal should be lowered. Surely, then, it would be advisable for their own sakes, and respect as a party desirous of maintaining a hold upon the and sympathies of those who have supported their agitation, that the Repeal Association should manifest a little patience and watch the l!,eress realised, v . fruits of th e new passed with measures about to be the express view, which we sincerely hope 1 may to th e destitution which other. Some their country from the misery an cov er it from one extremity thing of gratitude , too,s d ed, of redeeming might inducemde England has seeing the munifi cent mann er in which recen tly stepped forwar d with her co ntributions, public 1 and private, to lessen the sorrows of Ireland occasioned by the late calamitous visitation.

A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Forgn Office, enclosing copies of dispatches received from her Ma jesty's Consuls at Malaga and Alexandria , reporting the loss of the above British vessels. The Fulmer, Captain Cracker , from Smyrna, went on shore, on the 22d of April, two leagues west of Estepona, and lies embedded in a shoal of rocks, with no hopes of her being got off; crew saved. The Brig Treby, of Hartlepool, Captain Hutchinson, for Alexandria, was lost on a sunken rock, _near Cape Lecko, Coast of Lebya, N.W. of Port Sa llornue, on the 25t4 of April; crew saved , THE. RAJA OF SATTARA, Mr. WAKLEY presented a petition from the borough of Finsbury, praying that the Raja of Sattara might be heard at the bar of the House in his own defence. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Sir W. MOLESWORTH presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of Southwark, praying that they might be allowed to participate in any grant for na tional education. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BILL. Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Vice-President of the Board of Trade whether it was his intention to press on during the present session the Agricultural Statistics Bill ? Mr. MILNER GIBSON said that such were the diffi culties surrounding the measure, that he was afraid he should be obliged to give it up for the present session. He would, therefore, move that the order of the day for the second reading be discharged. Mr. W. BROWN was sorry that so useful a Bill should be delayed to another session. He was sure that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would find no difficulty in paying the expenses contemplated by the Bill out of the Consolidated Fund. He hoped that the Vice-President of the Board of Trade would introduce the measure early in the next session. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman the Vice-President of the Board of Trade had not been supported by the other members of the Government. He was sorry that the Bill should be withdraws. Ile expected to hear to-morrow that the Government would not allow the Bill to drop. Mr. WAKLEY merely rose to say that he objected to the Bill being withdrawn. The SPEAK:EA said if the House would have the subject debated it must be postponed till it came round in the regular turn with the other orders of the day. The subject then dropped. SCHOOL OF DESIGN. Mr. WAKLEY inquired when the evidence taken before the Committee of Inquiry would be laid before the House ? Mr. GIBbON said the annual report, and the ev dente with it, would be printed in a few days. SALE OF GRAIN LAWS. Mr. BANKES presented a petition from a magistrate in Dorsetshire regretting the repeal of the laws relating to the sale of grain previous to the 6 and 7 Wm. IV. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. Dr. NICIIOLL wished to know whether the Govern ment meant to take any step this session in reference to the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Sir G. GREY said a Bill was actually under the con sideration of the Lord Chancellor, and it was only matter of doubt whether it could be ready in time for this session. But there were doubts which it might be advisable to settle by Bill. Mr. ROEBUCK hoped that no temporary measure would be introduced, which would pass through the House without discussion. Sir G. GREY intimated that any permanent measure would certainly be before the House in sufficient time for discussion ; but there were doubts in regard to the jurisdiction of these courts, which it would be very desirable in the meantime to set at rest. ASSIZES IN IRELAND. Mr. S. O'BRIEN wished to ask the Secretary for Ireland again whether the report was true that the Irish judges had postponed the assizes? Mr. LAI3OUCHERE said the only official intelli gence he had got was the notification sent to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland that the ensuing assizes generally were postponed; but he believed that the judges would generally take the assizes as usual. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN was surprised that any postpcnement should take place, considering the danger there existed of fever breaking out in the over crowded gaols. Mr. LABOUCHERE assured the llon. Member that some of these gaols were literally in the state of hospitals by the number of fever cases in some of them. DROPPED ORDERS. The House then took up the consideration of the dropped orders. LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL (No. 2.) This Bill, on the motion of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. PORT NATAL COLLECTION OF DUTIES BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC BUSINESS. On the motion for reading the orders of the day, Lord JOHN RUSSEL rose and said, he proposed to take the Poor -law Administration Bill to-morrow; on Friday, the Health of Towns Bill; the Railways Bill or Monday ; and on Friday se'tanight, a Committee o. Supply. PORTUGAL. Captain HARRIS hoped that the letter of Captain Roft, alluded to by the Hon. Member for Edinburgh in his speech, would be laid upon the table. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed that the papers should be laid upon the table of the House. (LEFT SITTING.) BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY AND CONTINENTAL GlllDES.—Besides the usual monthly Guide to Railway Travellers in the British Islands, Mr. Bradsaw has just issued a compact and reasonably - priced railway guide for those who are journeying through the continental kingdom. The map prefixed to this excellent publica tion is really beautiful, and is alone worth double the amount of the little book itself. The information, which is lavishly con d ense d i n to the pages, is admirably ar ranged, and, as the phrase is, " well digested." HAND-BOOK TO THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—A second edition of this ingenious little hand-book to the most marvellous of modern discoveries, has just been published. It is illustrated by neat diagrams engraved on wood, and is written in a very comprehensible strain. LAUNCHES AT BLACKWALL.--li. fine frigate-built ship for the East India trade was launched from Messrs. Green's building-yard, a t Blackwell, Yesterday afternoon. She was named the Sutlej, and from what we could j ud g e, not having th e a d van t age of the builder's information, she is about 1,300 tons. A smaller vessel of about 450 tons was launched at the same time. A flag amid-ships, we presume, gave some indication of her name—" The Free Trade," and we understood that she is to have an auxiliary screw pro peller, and is to be employed in conveying cattle from the C o ntinent. She is of rather a handsome form of body, and floated well, but we should say that there are vessels turned out in the river better adapted for the screw than this " Free Trade." Th ere was a very large number of spectator s p resent, including some of the directors of the East India Company, some of the members of the Trinity Corporation, and, we be lieve, Lords Alfred and Clarence Paget. POSTPONEMENT OF THE REVIEW.—This morning, shortly after the troops had been paraded in their barrack rooms, preparatory to falling in, orders were received at their several barrack, from the Commander-in -Chief, counter manding the orders of the day for the grand review in Hyde park ; m uc h disappointment was occasioned in consequence, as a great concourse of persons bad assembled, and notwith standing the unfavourable weather, hundreds of temporary s ß c r a i ff g o a T e s , h co a n d si b s e t e in n g er o e i ct t c h d e d6uortithlgßothie morn i ng . The Light 43d Light Infant r y, and the 71st Highland Light Regiment, nfa n t t h r y e will remain in billets until it takes place. The field batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery will wait in town for the general orders appointing the day for the review ; these will be issued from the Horse Guards this afternoon. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY..-.- The screw auxiliary steam-ship Sarah Sands sailed hence this afternoon for New York, with a considerable number of passengers and a mail. We believe that no specie was exported by her. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received from "Z. S. Y." the remaining halves of notes for 45/, Th e amount will he paid into the receipt of the Exchequer. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE_WEDNESDAY• Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has been re ceived up to our market since Monday, and the show of samples hers was small. Still, however, the demand was in a very inactive state, at unaltered quotations. The imports of foreign Wheat this week have amounted to 9,820 quarters. That grain was very heavy, but prices were not lower. With Barley we were scantily supplied, while the inquiry for most kinds was firm, at late rates. Malt was a dull sale, at about stationary prices. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn moved off heavily, at unaltered figures. - Upwards of 20,000 barrels of Corn have come in this week. The trade was heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. English ...... Irish. ........ Foreign ...... Wheat. 1,410 qrs. 3,340 9,520 ARRIVALS. I Barley. 840 qrs.

IN RE PRENTICE. This was a dividend meeting under the estate of the bankrupt, who had been a fishmonger at Tollesbury, Essex. A proof was tendered on behalf of a Mr. Crick for 181., which was objected to on the part of the assignees. The Solicitor to the assignees said, that proceedings in Chancery had been pending between the bankrupt and Mr. Crick, and it had been prey ously doubtful whether or not be was a creditor, and the proof had been post poned. l'he bankrupt had been taken in execution on a judgment for the debt, but had been liberated, on signing an undertaking, admitting that he owed the debt and costs, and that his release was not to be considered a waiver of the demand. His HONOUR said the bankrupt having been taken in execution such a document as this did not revive the debt so as to entitle the claimant to prove. The Solicitor said that as the estate would pay 20s. in the pound, he had to apply for interest on the debt. His HONOUR said that the dividend must be declared first, when it would be ascertained what surplus there was. He would allow the bankrupt his full expenses for his different journeys, &c. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) OUTHWAITE AND ANOTHER V 3IITHELL, EXECUTRIX. The plaintiffs in this action are wholesale tea dealers in Fenchurch-street. The defendant is the widow and executrix of a person named Mitchell, who formerly lived at Devizes. There was no defence to the action, and the defendant by suffering judgment to go by de fault admitted that she had assets in hand; it l was, there fore, only necessary to prove the order and delivery of the goods, and this being done, a verdict was given for the amount claimed. CROPLEY V. NOTTON. The plaintiff in this action is a hat manufacturer in the Borough, and the defendant is a shopkeeper in Iligh•street, Chatham. The claim was for 131., for hats supplied to defendant, who put in a plea of infancy on the record. The defendant's attorney said, that it would be necessary for him to prove that the defendant was not of age when the debt was contracted, to entitle him to a ♦erdict. The defendant's mother was called, and proved that her son was born on the sth of May, 1826. She entered the circumstance in the family Bible, but she bad not got it with her. The action was commenced on the 21st of April, 11147. The Learned SECONDARY said that it appeared a pity that such a plea was put in, but if it was made out the defendant was entitled in law to a verdict; it was quite a matter of law. Some of the jury said they were not satisfied with the unsupported evidence of the mother. The Learned SECONDARY said it would perhaps have been better for some document to have been produced, but if the mother was to be believed, there could be no doubt. If they gave a verdict imputing falsehood on her part, they ought to give their reasons. The only cause he could see they bad to disbelieve her appeared to him to be that they did not wish to do so. They were, on their oaths, to give a verdict according to the evidence. The jury then gave a verdict for the defendant. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY. OLD COURT. 304 2% 2 20G 6, 4 19% Mr. Justice Patteson, accompanied by the Right ion. the Lord Mayor, Alderman Hughes, and Sheriffs Challis and Kinnaird, opened the Court this morning. A second edition of the " Calendar" was published to-day, which contained the names of no less than 267 prisoners. Several prisoners were placed at the bar, but Mr. CLARKSON stated that he had only just been furnished with the depositions, and therefore was not in a position to proceed with those cases. It was then arranged that another course should be taken; in this instance the judge had not been furnished with the depositions. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, I must decline to proceed with the case under these circumstances. Ls any counsel engaged to conduct the prosecution? Mr. CLARKSON replied in the negative. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, it is a very serious thing to throw the responsibility of conducting a case on the judge. Mr. BALLANTINE stated that this was entirely owing to the scale of fees allowed for prosecutions being so low, that no respectable attorney would conduct a prosecution, and, consequently, that the depositions were handed over to counsel, who had to do the duty of both attorney and counsel. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he thought that the scale of tees should be altered. It was a most unfortunate matter, and he did not think it proper that the conduct ing of a case should be imposed upon the judge, who could not be supposed to be acquainted with the facts. VENTILATION OF THE COURT. The imperfect ventilation of the Court has been a fruitful source of comment with the judges, and Mr. Justice Matteson remarked upon it this morning in terms of reprobation. No case of any interest occurred during the morning. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Lane, a woman of bad character, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged on suspicion of stealing a watch and a breast-pin from the person of a Mr. John Saunders, in Northumberland-court, Strand, at about one o'clock on Monday morning. The prosecutor said, that at about the time stated he met the prisoner in Northumberland court, and she asked him for charity, telling a long and piteous tale, every word of which afterwards turned out to be false. He was so far from suspecting any imposition, however, that he gave the supposed untortunate a shilling. Just at that moment two men came up to him and asked the way to Charing-cross, and while his attention was en gaged by them the prisoner disappeared. Soon afterwards he missed his watch, the handle of which had been cut, in order to release it, and his breast-pin. Ile did n ot immediately discover the loss of the latter a rticle, a brass one having been put in its place, so a s to deceive him at first. The watch (a silver one) was worth :V : , and the pin about 61. H av ing lost sight of the prisoner, but being de termined, if possible, to find her, he went to the same spot the next night at the same hour. The prisoner again met him, not appearing to know him, and repeated the story she had told him on Monday morning. lie pre tended to listen to what she was saying, and by enter ing into conversation with her induced her to go with him until he met a constable, to whom he gave her in charge. Two men had been watching them from the further side of the street, but he could not say whether they were the two men who had spoken to him the night before or not. A ring, supposed to be the handle of the watch, was found by the policeman on duty in Northumberland court shortly after the robbery was committed. It had been cut with some instrument. Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoner for a week. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Thomas Santer, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing a trumpet, value 12/., the property of Mr. Robert Davis, one of the musicians employed at the Haymarket Theatre. It appeared that the complainant, after the perform ance on Saturday night last, deposited his trumpet in the music-room in the theatre. On Monday evening about ten o'clock he went to fetch his instrument, and was surprised to find it gone. He inquired of every person in the theatre, but could not gain any tidings of the lost trumpet till last night, when he was informed that the trumpet was found, and the prisoner in custody for stealing it. William Adams, the master carpenter at the theatre, proved seeing the prisoner lurking about the stage door about twenty minutes past ten o'clock on Monday night. Having suspicions that the prisoner was up to no good, he watched him, and saw him enter the music room, where he remained some time. Witness he ol tn and went t w o h i the top of the stag e and peeped through h, sam in the act of removing an iron bar from the window. Witness stole softly round to the window and caught the prisoner attempting to push something through. H e seized hold of it, and found it was the missing trumpet. The prisoner ran away and made his escape out of the theatre. Information was then given to the poli ce , who took the prisoner into custody last night. The prisoner, who denied the charge was remanded till Saturday. Ellen Cook, was charged with stealing a sovereign and a half sovereign, the property of Maria Hibbut, 3, Old Compton-street, Soho.

Rebecca Bromley, a middle-aged care-worn looking woman, was charged with having attempted self-de struction. From the eTidence of police•constablea ii 9 and K 215, it appeared that the unfortunate creature had attereptocs to drown herself near Bromley Hall, the rt sidence of had superinterdent of the East India Company. She thrown herself into the water, but wa, fortunately rescued by the mate of a ship, who, as his vessel sailed to-day, was unable to attend. She was rather the worse for liquor at the time, but in her sober moments, and even just before being brought; into court, she had de clared in a calm and resolute manner, that she would repeat the attempt till she had succeeded in effecting her object. She had been visited b y a medical wan, who thought her mind was affected. She herself attributed it to the loss of her husband, who was recently deceased. Mr. BALLANTINE ordered her to be detained till she could find good bail. If it was found that her mind was really and seriously disordered, proper measures must be taken to have her placed under restraint. She was then removed, and placed for the present in the charge of Roach, the gaoler. --_, WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mrs. Nash, an ironer in the establishmetancet of Mrs. of the Bagster, stated that, previous to the disappar S hould child, the prisoner had said that she thought she 5 as that would be the drown herself and infant ; Mrs. Bagster and witness, however, advised her not to think of such a course, butE that she had better sell lueifer matches as a means 0 supporting both.
