DART WORTLEY, we are led to hope that a g mat improvement in this respect will speedily take P lace. Ile stated " that an arrangement was in pro- Tess Which he hoped would obviate the inconve t tienr:e." He, however, added, " that he could not "!j that fees would be given in every case, as the e a'ponse now fell wholly upon the public." Now, aiith t all possible respect for the Right Hon Baronet, we . must ask on whom should that expense fall ? Rind; how will it increase it, if it is in the first instance dot' alyed by the State, or by a private individual who is ; itterwards reimbursed out of the public purse ? B 3 r the one mode of proceeding there is a security that fev. aything will be conducted in an efficient and pr aper manner, worthy of this great country, and the ms Lgnitude of the interests involved. In the other th , !re is no such security. The party selected fo; c the duty may be wholly incompetent to the task ; or. , under the most favourable circumstances, sup po sing him to be of tried ability, he will necessarily be influenced by a feeling of partisanship, an anxiety to succeed for his client, and cannot possess that im ps rtiality which should distinguish the public prose ci itor, whose sole object should be to elicit truth, and no t to gain a favourable verdict from the jury. Tr. Scotland things are much better managed in this respect than in this country. Attached to the Supreme Court and in every district th roughout the kingdom there is a public pro se tutor, at whose instance all crimes are pro se cuted at the public expense, before the Court in v; hich he officiates. To those functionaries is left the avl"oie responsibility of determining whether any par :ular criminal charge shall be prosecuted or not. T, he strictest investigation takes place, in the first in sta nee, and unless there is a fair prospect of conviction, no • party is subjected to the disgrace, the inconvenience, al id expense of a public trial succeeding to a pro trrwted imprisonment. If the case is so strong as to of ford a fair presumption of his guilt, founded on 1( gal evidence, he is committed for trial, but in every c ise (not capital) he is entitled by the statute law to his liberation on giving good and sufficient security to come forward and abide the result; and let us here say that there is scarcely ever an abuse of this pri vilege, or an instance where a criminal escapes from justice by reason of the indulgence so afforded. He has every opportunity of preparing for his defence. If guilty, he meets with deserved punishment ; but it is seldom that an innocent man is subjected before trial to an imprisonment, which would be a more than sufficient expiation for the im puted crime, were it even established against him. Here, although the liberty of the subject is spoken of ore rotund°, how often do we see it unnecessarily taken away in practice ? How often do we find judges directing the juries to acquit prisoners on the ground that there was no evidence against them ? Within the past week we have seen cases of parties 'detained on coroners' inquisitions, although the magistrates refused to send them to trial. Surely there is no subject of greater importance to the people in general, or more urgently demand ing a revisal and alteration of the system. HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 20 minutes alter 8. I Evening ~ 53 minutes aft The Journal of St. Petersburgh publishes a letter from the Caucasus, dated Bth May, which states that on the sth of May Colonel STEPSTOFF defeated SCHAMYL on the banks of the river Assa, and forced him to retreat to Fortanga. Madrid papers of the 15th inst. have arrived. A letter from Zamora announces that a division of the army of General CONCHA took possession of Bra ganza on the 11th inst. It was rumoured in Madrid that a change in the Ministry was about to take place, and that General NARTAEZ would be the new President of the Council. The Three per Cents. closed on the Madrid Bourse on the 15th inst. at 30; for cash; the Five per Cents. at 18; Passives, si; and Coupons at 15 for cash, We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. Both the Constitutionnel and the National, confirm the rumour to which we alluded yesterday, that the Committee of the Chamber of Peers, have recom mended that M. DE PALETRAT, M. PARMENTIER, General Cusinnes, who was a member of the Cabi net of M. TRIERS, and M. TEST; the late Minister of Public Works in the Cabinet of M. GUIZOT, should be impeached for swindling, bribery and cor ruption. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Satur day, in discussing a Bill introduced by the Govern ment for the better organization of the Courts of Justice in the Colonies. The object of the Bill is to render the judges in the French Colonies, indepen dent of the slave-owners, so that they may he in a position to administer impartial justice in cases in which slaves are concerned either as accusers or ac cused. The Journal des Dgbats says that the Bill, which seems well calculated to effect the object, will be voted by the Chamber on Monday. The Count and Countess DE ST. AULAIEE left Paris on Saturday for London. The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera, Paris, on Sunday, at 77f. 70c.

The ;eam• ship Pottinger arrived at the Cape on the 9th of April, and sailed for the Mauritius and India on the _Bth of April. Her Majesty's ship Nimrod left Tub Bay on the 13th of April for Algoa Bay, taking Sir P. Young to that place to assume the duties of hi Wio vernment. tier Majesty's ship Rosamond arrived at the Cape on the 12th of April; her Majesty's ship Helena arrived on the 17th of April; and her Majesty's ship Media arrived on the ISth of April. David Leahy, Esq., one of the New Court judges, died yesterday morning at half-past ten o'clock. He was judge for Lambeth, Greenwich, &c. ALARMING SINKING OF THE VIADUCT OVER THE RIVER AVON.—SALISBURY, JUNE 20.—This morning, by four o'clock, a great number of labourers were set to take down the stone coping and brickwork o f th e viaduct over the river Avon, about half a mile from Salisbury, it having been discovered that the stupendous walls were giving way. Fortunately it was timely discovered, or something awful and disastrous might have been the consequence. A number of carpenters were also busily engaged putting four large pieces of timber, one under d'ach, to support the four lines of rails at the top. It is therefore hoped that the rebuilding of the arches may be carried on without obstructing the general traffic over the same, or any serious accident happening. Many complaints are made against the works on this branch line of the South-Western from Bishopstoke to Salis bury, twenty-two miles. At the present time the large building intended for the reception of goods in this city, 240 feet long, 40 feet wide, with a further span of 10 feet each way, covered with at least 60 tons of slat*, has been carried up in so shameful a manner as, even before its being finished, to require at least 50 pieces of timber to prevent this ponderous mass from falling. A few days since this ill-built place was examined by Mr. Locke, the company's engineer, and other gentlemen connected with the company, when the works were con demned, and all the men ordered off, Mr. Fisher, the respectable builder of Salisbury, having been appointed to either rebuild or so fur to strengthen the works as to make them safe. Many are of opinion that all must come down.—Post. DEATH OF MR. EMERY.—Mr. John Emery for merly proprietor and editor of the Guiana Times, and latterly of the journal bearing his name, published in George Town, British Guiana, and well known as a powerful political writer, died on board the steamer Trent, on his passage from England to Demarara. his remains were interred at Barbadoes.—Jamaica paper. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The in defatigable Jullien brought out last evening at these gardens a new waltz, which he has named the "Swedish Nightingale," being composed on airs sung by Jenny Lind. It is, we should say, a decided hit, and likely to become ♦ery popular. The gardens were crowded, and the representation of the Siege of Gibraltar seemed as attractive as ever. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OP THE CHEST.—From the occasional record just published, it appears that the legacy from the late Rev. Henry Campbell has been invested in Government securities, to which sum a legacy of 2001. from the late Miss Churchill, and 1001. from the late William Praed, Esq,, and a further sum of 2001. from Miss Catherine Lee,_of Knightsbridge, will, when received, bo applied to the funds devoted to the purchase of the ground at present occupied by the hospital. THE LATE TWEED.—The Nassau Observer says that two Harbour Island vessels arrived at that place with between two and three hundred jugs of quicksilver, saved from the wreck of the British steamer Tweed. They eould have saved mueb. t not beau driven off by Spanish men-of-war, atter having worked but ono day. 41\ 3 1E \,7? = €.) 4 1,,i - • , 13 A (11 - bergillif LONDON, TUESD-AY, JUNE 22, 1847. A. more injudicious, , ar, strictly speaking, a more indecent proclamation, could not by possibility have been penned than the one addressed to the Portuguese, on the ninth instant, by Queen MARIA DA CrI. , RIA. Had her Most Gracious and Most Faithful Majesty been desircu4 to render a reconciliation 'with her subjects odious beyond all description, she, could not more effectually have compassed her intentions than by the publication of such a manF.esto as the one we have mentioned. In the ve-ry construction of her sentences there is visible tle partially-suppressed malice of a domineering but conquered Sovereign. Principles of liberality are there enunciated by the lips of a women whose career has, from the anment of her accession to the throne of the - Braganzas, been subversive of every national right and eve-:y constitutional prerogative. Those sacred principles are glozed over with the lan guage of the most insidious hypocrisy, and the patriotic insurgents, by whose loyalty to the Charter she has been alone driven to the acceptance of a liberal convention, are treated withal as culprits emi nently worthy of her royal displeasure, and are inso lently alluded to as the recipients of an unparalleled generosity. We cannot indeed find expressions of sufficient earnestness to indicate the disgust and in dignation with which we have perused this miserable document. Its very introduction is a mockery, the most gratuitous and the most reprehensible. Queen MARIA reproaches her people because of the recent " effusion of Portuguese blood "—when the homicidal spillers of that blood were the tools of her malapert despotism ; because of the recent " destruction of pro perty "—when the pillagers and incendiaries were none other than her own mercenary supporters ; and because of the " dissolution of social ties "—when she herself was the one who snapped the bonds of affection asunder by abetting the cabal of the Cabrals instead of promoting the happiness by securing the liberties, of her loyal and ttnoffending people. What, we ask, is the sequel to this ab horrent induction ? It is a sequel eminently worthy of a QUEEN who throughout the whole of her ill-omened reign has huckstered the privileges of the nation for the emolument of an unprincipled favourite. " Fatal illusions," says MARIA DA GLoRIA, " have caused some persons to take up arms against ray Royal authority, and against the constitution of the State." Fatal illusions! forsooth. Why, if any one thing is notorious throughout the length and breadth of Christendom, it is that the guilty proceedings of the Court of Lisbon have goaded the population of Portugal to a manifestation of their august wrath, it is that the people of that land have been justified in taking arms against the Supreme Government, it is that the royal authority and the constitution of the State have been leagued one against the other in con sequence of the policy adopted by the ruler of Por tugal. This has been proclaimed in Parliament ; it has been acknowledged by that very Adminis tration through whose generous interference Queen MARIA has been alone preserved from the possibility of a speedy dethronement, and an ignominious expa triation. Mr. MACAULAY has proclaimed the late revolution in Portugal to have been most justifiable on the part of the insurgents, and most reprehensible on the part of the Cabinet. And yet MARIA DA GLORIA speaks thus contumeliously of the Junta, as having assailed at once her Royal au thority and the constitution of the State ! Neither against the authority of their Sovereign nor against the articles of their common constitution were the soldiers of the Oporto Junta arrayed. The Por tuguese had armed themselves especially for the pro tection and vindication of the constitution, and for the restriction of the royal authority within reasonable and legal limits. Heartily do we confess that we have not the inclination to analyse either the language or the sentiments of this odious manifesto. After the oriental fashion, the QUEEN has thrown a peace offering to her people, but the peace-offering is nothing better than a poisoned cake. The gorge of the nation will rise at this ungracious recompense of a loyalty which has survived all the throes of civil contention, and all the incitements of popular success. The peace-offering of MARIA DA GLORIA will be spat forth derisively as it deserves, and a significant assurance will thereby be conveyed to her councils that the scorn of a virago is not compatible with the dignity of a Princess, and that the diction of a des.. pot is no way suited to the mouth of a constitutional Sovereign. If ever there was a manifest necessity for the reformation of a Cabinet that necessity is at this moment conspicuous on the banks of the Tagus. Let her Portuguese MAJESTY take warning by the insane measures adopted in 1814 by the obese reviver of the ancien regime—let her bear in recollection the consequences of the abor• tive projects born in the effete imagination of King Louis XVlll—let her remember the calamitous effects of the Ministerial treason and the legislative crimes of King CHARLES X.—let her draw the obvious analogies which are discernible in the revela tions of history, and trace out her course in ac cordance with the deductions derived therefrom. Her destinies are now at her own disposal as far as human destiny can he controlled by human judgment. Whether her reign is to be branded as infamous among the records of the land she governs, whether her name is to be handed down to the execration of posterity, or whether, in obedience to the dictates of a purer pur- pose, the assertor of the national liberties and the object of national gratitude, is a consummation still bidden in the womb of futurity. As yet not even the glimmer of a hope has gilded the gloom of her sovereignty. Still there is no reason to despair for Portugal. According to the practice that has heretofore pre vailed in the administration of public business, it is in vain to hope for any improvement, however glaring or obvious the defects of the system may be, until actual inconvenience has been sustained by persons of sufficient influence to give weight to their remon strances, and to enforce a patient consideration of the grievances. The principle adopted with respect to the prosecution of offenders has long given occasion for many well-grounded complaints, has frequently led to a failure of justice, to the escape of criminals, and to a vast additional incons enience and expense to those who, having already been sufferers by the acts complained of, are further obliged, either to advance the costs of the prosecution —an expense which they can ill afford—or to abandon the duty they owe to the public, and suffer the acc use d party to escape, and to persevere in his vicious courses, until he shall have injured some person of greater wealth or energy. Private prosecutions are in every respect objectionable. They appear to be founded on feelings of individual resentment in place of being carried on for the vindication of the ma jesty of the law. They induce parties to suppose that they can escape by means of a private arrange. ment with the person who is prominently put for ward as the claimant for redress, and too frequently inquiries are smothered, th e aggr i eve d p ar ty accept ing compensation for the injuries sustained, and an indemnity against any loss that may possibly be oc ewals:ieleneind tbhe r s ytli they the forfeiture ble of his to re g co r g at n if i y zances mali cious and vindictive feelings, and to persecute and op press others u n d er the cloak of law infi A per sonictotperodibvtoaantienhim. has a right to institute proceedings re dress for any injuries th a t may be but the moment they assume a cr i minal character, ' the private injury is merged in the public w rong.

The Madrid Gazette publishes, from the Diario do Governo of Lisbon, the following proclamation, addressed by her Majesty to the Portuguese people:— " Portuguese,—Our country has presented to Europe the deplorable spectacle of the effusion of Portuguese blood, the destruction of property, the dissolution of social ties, and all the evils caused by civil war. Love of country and of liberty could not triumph over these fatal illusions which have been inspired in the design of leading Portuguese to arm themselves against my royal authority and against the constitution of the state. In order to obtain the submission which is due to me, and to re-establish public order, I have resolved to adopt every measure dictated by humanity and the public safety, such as according a very extensive amnesty, and the restitution of all employments and of all honours. I have also resolved to convoke the Cortes, and to proceed to the elections, after submission shall have been duly made, and public order restored in every point of the kingdom, in maintaining in all its plenitude the liberty of elections, the free exercise of all rights, and the scrupulous and im partial execution of the constitutional charter, in all its provisions. The Governments of Spain, France, and Great Britain, decided on the adoption of efficacious means to assist me in putting an end to calamities so dis astrous, and which set such a dangerous example, not only gave notice of those measures to the chiefs who pro voked and directed the resistance, but secured their ex ecution by demanding the immediate submission of those chiefs to my royal authority. The chiefs refused to submit, feigned to doubt the stability of the guarantee offered by the allied powers, and preferred combatting against the laws of their country to relying on my royal word, as well as on the faith and power of my august allies. " The true motive of illusion has now ceased, arid the impossibility of prolonging the civil war is evident, after the services which the foreign powers have commenced to render me. My sentiments of generosity, however, remain unchanged, and I have resolved to grant to all persons implicated in the fatal dissensions, without any exception, the same benefits, the same extensive amnesty up to the period when the publication of this royal decree begins to produce its legal effects, assuring equally the execution of all our Royal decisions for the observance of the constitutional charter of the monarchy. Portu guese, it is impossible that you can misconceive the kindly sentiment which dictates these measures, and the necessity of a prompt re-establishment of peace, concord, and obedience to the laws. Whatever may be the difference in political opinions, the first duty, the first want, is the due observance of the constitution. " My most sincere desiro is, that all my subjects should profit by my kind intentions ; but when they shall be known to all, justice, the necessity and the safety of the state, demand that those who should refuse to submit, and should attempt to prolong the evils now agitating the country, shall be subjected to the action of the laws." This proclamation is followed by a decree, proclaiming a general and complete amnesty for all political crimes and offences committed since October 6 ; the whole to be buried in oblivion, and stating that all persons deprived of their honours and distinctions shall have the same re stored to them. JUNE 22, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was animated. Sales 10,000 bales, including 1,200 American and 800 Surat for export, and 500 American and 1,000 Sural, on speculation. There was an animated market, and prices of American under 7d. were id. per lb. better. Surat and Macao was id. per lb. dearer, and all other sorts were *d. per lb. higher than last Friday. The sales included 6,000 bales American at 6id. to 7d., 100 Bahia at 7id., and 3,000 Surat at 4d. to sid. per lb. There was a firm market for Railway Shares, with a tendency to improvement, but the buying orders appeared to be but few. We stated a day or two since our belief that there would be further unpleasant occurrences in mercantile circles connected with corn and other speculation, and the fall at Marseilles of the great house of Forbin, Janson, and Co., for an amount estimated at about half a million sterling, but little of which, however, will be due to English merchants, serves to strengthen our statement. As regards the house in question its chief connexion was with the sugar trade. The auspicious weather, and the prospects of progres sive advancement in the growing crops increases the disposition to do business, but as yet we cannot report that activity either in the produce or manufacturing markets which appears to be desirable. Symptoms of confidence and augmented consumption have indeed manifested themselves at Liverpool and other places, and all that seems requisite is that this should " ripen," as it were, until the fruit is perfect, or in other words, until buyers operate liberally upon their conviction. The only ship arrival from abroad with late intelli gence of interest is from Monte Video. The inhabi tants were all on the qui vivr respecting the mission of the English envoy, which it was hoped would prove successful.

Counsel were further heard and witnesses examined in behalf of the claimant to this peerage, and the further consideration of the claim was adjourned sine die. MARQUIS OF TWEEDALE V. MURRAY ♦ND OTHERS. JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave the judgment of their Lordships to-day in this appeal, which came before their Lordships yesterday. The case came before the House upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The question in the case arose upon the construction of a lease of the farm of Corsbie, in the county of Berwick, belonging to the appellant, and of which the father of the first named respondent had been duriug his life the tenant. The question was, whether the respondents (the son of the late tenant, and the personal representatives) were entitled, under the terms of the lease, to regain possession of tho farm from the death of the tenant, which happened in March, 1845, until the Whit Sunday after his death, and, in consequence, to plough, sow, and cultivate it, and to reap the crop of that year. The Lord Ordinary decided against the respondents, who took the case to the Inner House, where his Lordship's decree was reversed. The appellants then brought this appeal against that reversal. The Noble and Learned Lord, after going shortly through the facts of the case, recommended their Lordships to reverse the decision of the Court below. Judgment reversed accordingly. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. The French Government has published the following telegraphic dispatch : " A letter from Zamora states that the Spanish Gene ral Concha occupied Braganza on the 11th with a divi sion of his arm)-." MONTE VIDEO PLYMOUTH, JUNE 21.—The merchant bark Minstrel, Captain Simpson, belonging to Plymouth, came in this morning from Monte Video, with 700 hides and 300 pipes of tallow, for the owners, Messrs. Haycroft and Petbick. The Minstrel left on the 16th of April, in company with the barque Caroline, brig 13elgrano, and screw-steamer Fletcher, bound to Liverpool, and the barque George IV., for Havre-de-Grace. About 150 merchant vessels were at Monte Video, only three of which, the Melody, Ipswich, and Clio, were English. The Anastino, an American barque, under Monte Videan colours, was to sail in ten days for Liverpool. Freights—Hides, 41. 10s., and tallow, Si. 10s. per ton ; current dollar, 45d. Beef, ls. per lb. Bread scarce ; the American barrel 255. General Oribo continued to invest Monte Video, whose inhabitants were occasionally shot by his forces. About a fortnight before the Minstrel left, an English quartermaster was murdered, and the carcase of his horse sold for beef in the market-place. Various opinions exist as to the intervention of the British and French authorities. A very general impression now prevails, that if those Governments had not interfered, the troublesome affairs of the River Plate would have long since been settled. The French are much disliked by the inhabitants of Monte Video. At Monte Video—Her Majesty's frigate Vernon, 50, Captain John C. Fitzgerald ; her Majesty's frigate Raleigh, 50, Commander Sir Thomas Herbert ; her Majesty's 18-gun brig Satellite, Commander Robert H. B. Rowley ; her Majesty's 16 gun brig Grecian, Com mander Alexander L. Montgomery, and a number of Government steam-vessels. Her Majesty's steamer Rattler, Commander R. Moor man, with Lord Ifowden, had not arrived. Great hopes of an amicable arrangement were anticipated from the presence of his Lordship. Several English and French men-of-war steamers were cruising about, conveying troops, &c., between Maldonado and Colonia. The united forces of England and France still kept Buenos Ayres under blockade. All her salderados (salting houses), were in full employ, trade was very brisk. There was an immense store of produce at Buenos Ayres, large quantities of which were conveyed by small craft to Monte Video. The Minstrel brings passengers Mr. John and Mr. Peter Jackson, residents at Monte Video, Mr. Ridley, of Plymouth, his sister, and child. On the passage home spoke the American barque Baltic, from Cork, for Havannah, out 56 days, short of water ; and the brig William Flitton, or William Pitt, out twelve days from Newfoundland, bound to Demerara; all well. GREECE AND TURKEY. The following telegraphic dispatch has been received by the French Government:— " MALTA, JUNE 15. " The Porte has accepted the proposition of Prince Metternich fur settling the difference between Greece and Turkey. The Grand Vizier's letter has been handed to the English Minister, and by him forwarded to Vienna. The difference is regarded as settled. M Mussurus will return to Athens, but will not, it is thought, long remain there. The English vessels, the Vanguard and the Albion, would soon return to Malta. The Rodney was to remain at the Pincus. The Egyptian Government steamer, the Nile, touched at Malta on her way to Tripoli, with 800 soldiers." FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF SIR HARRY SMITH. Painted by Henry Moseley. Lithographed by Thomas Fairland. A portrait of the hero of Aliwal, M a j or -G enera l Si r Harry Smith—and, what is more, a faithful and charac teristic portrait—must be peculiarly acceptable to his ad miring countrymen. Such a portrait has come from the easel of Mr. Moseley, and has been excellently pencilled, from the original painting, upon a lithographic stone, by Mr. Fairland. The countenance of the gallant officer is indicative of that intelligence and audacity ', - ;hich might have been anticipated in the features of the con queror of Aliwal. The engraving is as simple and natural as a daguerreotype. ERRATUM.—In the concluding paragraph of Mr. Samuel Browning's letter on the Navigation Laws, pub• lished in our impression of yesterday, for " minor ad vantage" read "minor disadvantage." REDUCTION OF SHIPPING RATES IN LIVERPOOL.-- A special meeting of the Liverpool town council was held at the Town-hall yesterday, for the purpose of taking into consideration certain reductions on cotton, iron, coal, and shipping, recommended by the dock com mittee. The mayor presided. The sub-committee re commended reductions as follow, namely:—On goods, 24,5804 ; tannage, 14,136/. ; total, 38,7164 A schedule of the proposed reduction was produced and approved of, as also a reduction of tonnage duties charged for certain classes of voyages. CALLS TO TIIE PAR.—INNER TEMPLE, JUNE 11.— The following gentlemen were this day called to the bar by the llon. Society of the Inner Temple, viz., William Henry Leathley, Esq., of Trinity College, Cambridge, 8.A.; Charles Frith, Esq., of Park-village west, Re gent's-p ar k ; Samuel Stephen Bateson, Esq., Trinity College, Cambridge ; the Hon. William Frederick Ca d.,gan, of Oriel College, Oxford; Springhall Thompson, Esq., of St. John's College, Cambridge, 8.A.; Elliott Grassett, Esq., of Emanuel College, Cambridge; and Edward Hoare Sirr, of Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. An experiment took place yesterday at Woolwich dockyard by Mr. Bennett, of the Hon. East India Com pany's service, at the request of Commander Ryder, who recently commissioned the Vixen, to ascertain the capa bilities of the Nautilus as a life preserver when attached to boats. Two of the Nautilus were attached to the commander's gig, and ten men put on board, and the plug withdrawn ; but the upper part of the boat remained above two inches out of the water, and although the ves sel had been filled by any surf she would not have upset, being still capable of conveying that number of men ox shore. THE CONSTABULA ny FORCE OF IRELAND—The effective strength of this force in the counties, cities, and towns of Leland on the Ist of January last, was 10,639 (general force, and 37 4 reserved force). The expendi ture upon the said force for the whole of Ireland in the year 1846 amounted to the sum of 483,6461. The total amount of the force employed on the Ist of January, 1847, was 11.404, and its total expense 492.8911., fd whioh is the pry portion box :e by the U.•:,.. dated Feud, and 152,047 L, the amount borne by coun ties, cities, and towns. IM7. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) HILTON V. LORD GRANVILLE. This case was resumed at the sitting of the Court this morning, and occupied the whole of the day in hear ing evidence with respect to the working of mines, and in hearing cases cited in which parties had recovered compensation for injuries caused to their property from the working of mines. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed the Court on be half of the Crown, and witnesses having been called in support of his case, The Court adjourned until to-morrow. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE SIPPINGS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as an hotel keeper at the Hotel de Paris, at Cromer, came up for his certificate. Mr. LUCAS appeared to oppose, principally on the ground that the bankrupt had attempted to conceal a great portion of his property, In the course of the Learned Counsel's address he said that the opposing creditors had had great difficulty in making out a case in consequence of the expense of bringing up witnesses from Norwich and elsewhere, but when they had done so at their own expense, and made out a prima facie case, his Honour had ordered the assignees to take up the case; and although ultimately his Honour appeared to be of opinion that the bankrupt could hardly be con sidered liable for the attempted concealment, as he was not proved to have been present, yet his Honour thought it a case in which the costs of the opposition should be allowed. He (the Learned Counsel) would take the liberty of mentioning to the Court a suggestion of the members of the Chamber of Commerce at Norwich on this point. The Chamber of Commerce was com posed of bankers, merchants, and gentlemen of the legal profession in that city, and they had come to the con chision that the object of the Act was frequently frus trated by throwing the expense on individual creditors, where they had to take witnesses a distance to London, and they had urged on the authorities that it would facilitate the proceedings, and lessen the expcnse, if in certain cases, such as inquiring into concealment of property, the Commissioners of this court should have it in their discretion to appoint the judge of the county court, or some other compe tent person, to act as their deputy, and take the examination of witnesses, except in large estates, and when the subject was intricate. The Chamber had, he was informed, made a communication to the Lord Chan cellor on the subject, and had entertained hopes that in the new Act some clause giving such discretion to the commissioner would have been inserted. His HONOUR said, that as the matter had been men tioned he would remark that seven years ago ho had taken a great deal of trouble at Norwich to impress this on the minds of gentlemen there, but as the evil was only then coming they had not then thought it necessary to take any steps, and they were now feeling the conse quences of their neglect. Many of those gentlemen were wholesale dealers and large warehousemen, and if they did not continue to look into the matter they would still continue to have a very indifferent legislation. The subject was then dropped, and the case was proceeded with. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) EMBEZZLEMENT.—Thonias Freeman, aged 39, de scribed as a wig -maker, was charged with embezzling a sum of 481. 18s., the property of the overseers of the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was one of the poor-rate collectors, and in that capacity ob tained the money in question, for which he neglected to account. Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr, iluddlestone the defence. There was nothing of interest in the case, but during the examination of one of the witnesses a question was raised as to the correctness of the indictment, it being contended by the counsel for the defence that the money in question was not the property of the overseers, but of the guardians, whose servant the prisoner was. In this opinion the Common-Sergeant concurred, and con sulted Mr. Commissioner Bullock, who took the same view of the law on the question. The case, however, was permitted to proceed, and the prisoner was found Guilty, but sentence was not passed, the point contended for by his counsel being reserved for the decision of the judges. This being the last case on the calendar terminated the business of the court. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The June adjourned sessions commenced this morning at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, before the As sistant-Judge and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar was unusually heavy, owing to the length of time intervening since the last session—no less than 150 persons being for trial; of these 23 were charged with misdemeanours, and the remainder with felony. Of these 45 were described in the calendar as unable either to read or write, 104 as reading and writing im perfectly, and one only out of the 150 was able to read and write well. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, referred to the number of prisoners for trial at the pre sent session, but said he was glad to find that they did not exceed the average as far as the time elapsing be tween each session went. After alluding to the measure now before the Legislature upon the subject of criminal jurisprudence, he said he was happy to find that, although he could not approve cordially of many of its provisions, yet that it still was a step in the right direction. During the course of his address he dealt a smart lecture to those tradesmen who were in the habit of exposing goods outside their shop doors, and thus throwing an uncalled-for temptation in the way of young boys, and concluded by saying that he for ono would most gladly promote a low which would compel all such persons to bear the whole expenses of the prosecution. An application was made by a sergeant of the B divi sion of police to have the evidence of a witness in a very important case taken as speedily as possible before the grand jury, under the following circumstances:—The witness was a female, who was daily and hourly expect ing her confinement, and there was no place for her to wait in except the common hall, where there was no seat to sit down upon, where she was jostled about amongst 300 or 400 persons, and which, for persons even in ro bust health, especially in winter, or the warm months of summer, was almost unbearable. The Learned ASSISTANT ' JUDGE said it was a most scandalous case that no accomodation could be afforded to a witness under such circumstances. The arrange ments for persons in waiting on the Court, as prosecu tors and witnesses, was an actual disgrace to the country, and he was glad the Chairman of the County Magis trates (Mr. Pownall) was present. Mr. Pownall said if it rested with the Chairman of the Court, the proper and much required accommodation should be afforded as speedily as bricks and mortar could be run up, but he was, unfortunately, wholly powerless in the matter. James Squires, convicted at the last sessions of steal ing a pocketbook from the person of Captain Archdall, M.P., at the Ilungerford Pier, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

I want some money." Wanes, replied that he could not have any from him, as he had none about him. The prisoner then said, " That be d—d.
