SUGAR.—A further decline has taken place in the value of both fie e and slave labour, the home demand being on the decrease, and the shipping orders in the market at present being unimportant. The deliveries for all purposes, however, continue to be upon a large scale, and greater than last year. Prices are 2s to 3s per cwt lower than they were at that time, but the stock is nearly as large, and thu patty is fine. The public sales announced to take piece are important. There is yet a large quantity to arrive from all quarters. West India Muscovado met with little attention from grocers or refiners on Wednesday and Thursday, although mer chants were free sellers, ana submitted to a ryductien on previous rates of Is. REFINED.—The home trade have operated in Refined goods with caution since this day week. The supply is on the increase, and prices declining. The consumption is, however, going on, largely exceeding that of last season, and likely so to continue. The refiners are de sirous to realise, as they are obtaining satisfactory rates. MArtitmus —There has been little desire evinced to operate in refining or in grocery description, although there are sellers rather under former rates. None has been ofered at public sale since our last report, but the large quantity of 10,000 bags is announced. There are further arrivals, and the stock is much greater than it was at this time in 1846; the deliveries, however, con tinue upon a large scale, and far exceed those of any other sort of sugar, and it is yet the cheapest. EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been operated in with caution, and the rates taken have been rather under those that existed previously, there being a fair qu:mtity on offer. For Penang the inquiries have been limited, and late rates cannot even be obtained. COCHINEAL.—The deliveries are far exceeding those of the previous season, whilst the stock is less, but prices are above those of that time, especially for the better qualities. By private contract only a small amount of business has been transacted since this day week, and rather lower rater, hare been accepted. For public sale 100 serons are declared. Fonracm—Privately there has been little passing in any kind of Foreign Sugar for home consumption, and prices are cn the decline. At public sale 762 baskets 948 mats and 4 bags Java, duty paid, were all disposed of, but at a reductiou on former prices of 2s for white and the Euperior kinds of yellow ; the decline on brown and inferior yellow amounted, however, to only is per cwt. - MOLASSES.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in any sort of West India, and prices are on tee decline. For fine Antigua 24s 61 have been accepted. The value of low Molasses is 20s to 21e. At public sale 60 puns new middling Antigua Molasses were sold at the reduced rates of 21s Gd to 22s per cwt. COFFEE.—Although the inferior descriptions of West India can be obtained rather under previous rates, still few purchases have been made by private contract. Middling and superior sorts are held for the former cur rency; but the contracts concluded have been of little consequence. None at present has been submitted to public competition; and the stock is much less than it was last y. ar; but arrivals of the new crops are near at hand. The deliveries are falling off; and other sorts of Coffee are lower in price than West India. There is every probability of the importation ex ceeding that of 1846, and of the qu dity being liner. East India, suitable for home consumption, fur ther declined in value, although the quantity brought 0) market has not been large ; but the trade have been cautious in their operations. Shipping sorts are not to ne obtained upon lower terms ; but the orders are fall •ng off. No increase, however, has taken place in the alpply. The importation of all sorts, it is expected, will exceed that of the previous Beason. The amount of business transacted by private contract in Plantation Cey lon has been to a small extent only, upon rather lois er terms. Mocha has been operated in with caution by pri va:c treaty, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms, the stock being considerably Ices than last season, and the consumption greater. None has been submitted to public competition. Java is not much wanted; but holders are not inclined to reduce their prices. Foreign Coffee has been purchased with caution by the home 1 trade, and there are few export orders. Prices are on the decline, there being a large stock, especially of the better descriptions. None has been offered at auction since our last report. Cocoa —The market having been better supplied with Trinidad, a fall in the value to the extent of 2s to 4s per cwt has taken place ; the demand, however, has been good, and the parcels offered at auction were all sold, and amounted to 1,203 bags of the new crop? TEA.—The arrivals have ken upon a large scale since this day week, amounting to 27,000 packages; ehereas, during that period, duty was paid on 446,4961b5. The deliveries at all the ports this year are exceeding those of the previous one. The stock of black is not quite so heavy as it was at this time in 1846 ; but of green it is greater. All sorts are lower in price than they were at that period; none has been offered at auction since Ibis day week. The purchases made in black have been to a small ex tent only by the town and country trade, notwithstand ing the moderate rate that exists. Of low and mid qualities, the home trade have been induced to take many parcels, owing to the late rates, at which there are seller::. SAGO.—Prices continue to give way, the demand being limited, and the supply good; we quote small Pearl at 30s to 32s for ordinary to good, and fine at 32s to 34s per cwt. That a further fall in the value will ensue, ap pears to be the general impression. Sago Flour is little wanted, and can be obtained at 22s to 23s per cwt. The arrivals of Sago and Sago Flour are likely to exceed those of the former season. SPICES.—In all descriptions of Black Pepper there have been little desire manifested to operate privately, but former rates are, however, asked for all sorts. At public sale 4,140 bags of Malabar were only in part sold. For white previous rates are insisted upon, but privately only a moderate business has been done. Mace is'fully as high as on this day week ; the demand being active, and supply moderate. Cassia lAgnealetches full rates,;the supply bcirg small, and the dernalid good. For Pimento prices continue high, but exporters and the home trade buy with caution. Of Jamaica Ginger several parcels have been sold pri vately at full rates. East India met with attention. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but the demand has been less active for home consumption and exporta tion. For Cloves the market is looking quiet, and prices I tend downwards. . Rece.—To-day East Indiallice met with more atten tion by private treaty, and large parcels were disposed of at full rates. Hoes.—The business doing in our market iv on a retail scale, and prices have undergone no variation since last week's report. SPIP.ITS.—The market has presented a dull appear ance for Leeward Island Rum, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d is the nearest value of proof strength ; whilst the supply is on the increase, and likely so to continue. East India is little wanted and proof with certificate can be obtained at 3s 2d to 3s 3d. and there is a fair quantity on offer. For arrival there are even sellers under these rates. Demerara met with little attention, and prices are on tralh, received c o thes e d iatv e ze d c hda l o i nf n msr e ii onet . me wed Oat Tuesdayl sm f l l Wc quarters. uns teadsrthe season, n sas. d s t i b a e bTae s nun e htd v e e lohi r sfm a et me t a:vs: ,pysdat of If c rf nu e , 1,d: I vi i s i , India arrivals have been s i t t s arelndia near i s all sortsrea te a r . 1 Brandy, and exporters have operated with caution prices ar e on t h e d ec li ne , an d merchants appear ' to be desirous to sell, as there are large arriv als near at hand, and the stock here being heavy. The consumption, is however, going on satisfactorily, and exceeds that of former season. Geneva has been. in good demand for export, and 2s 7d to 2s 8d are the rates paid for ordinary export sort, but the home demand has been limited at 2s 10d to 3s 3, for fine. The price of Corn Spirits has fallen 9.1, and it is now I ls per gallon for English. SALTPETRE.—The home and export demand was limited for Rough by private contract and the rates paid have been rathexe,a-bove those that existed previously. Holders evince much firtieness, and supply the market sparingly. _ _ _ OlLS.—There has been little desire manifested by the home trade to operate in Lirtseed, Oil since this (lay week, few export orders have been executed; the crushers are desirous to realises and submitted tq further reduced rates. For further delivery the operations ;try -upon a small scale. The consumption is, however, yet on_ the increase, and far exceeds that of tliceprevious season. Rape Seed Oil has been in excellent request, and quotations range firm.

Candle. SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 6, 1847. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.--:-Kingston, April 3. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord DEximaN and a Special Jury.) CHADWICK V. HERAPATH. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages for a [be! upon Mr. Chadwick, the chairman of the North Wales . Railway, and who also filled the same office in the Richmond Railway, which libel was published in Herapath's Railway Journal of the 13th of June, 1846. _ _ The defendant pleaded that he had not been actuated by any malice in publishing the libel, and that he had apologised for it, in conformity with the statute, and paid 51. into court :as compensation. The Court upon demurrer held the plea to be insufficient, and the present writ of inquiry was therefore issued to assess the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Peacock were for the plain tiff; Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bovill for the defendant. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff it appeared, that while he filled the o ffi ce of deputyy-chairm — an to the North Wales Railway, and chairman of the London and Richmond, a negotiation was entered into for the loan of 20,0001 to the — South- Western Railway Company by the North Wales Com- pany, , the latter not being - able at the time to use their Capital or their works owing to some Parliamentary ditlicultits, and the South-Western were to pay 4 per cent. for the use of the money, the shareholders in the Ncrth Wales scheme receiving the same amount of into- rest upon their deposits. The South-Western Com pany refused the money, and the amount, with an addi tional sum of 5,0001., was then advanced by the North Wales to the Richmond Company, at an interest of 4i per• cent. This transaction formed the subj' et of the present inquiry, for it seemed that soon afterwards a letter appeared in Herapath's Journal, professiug . to be signed by one Evan Griffiths, a shareholder in the North Wales scheme, and in which, in very offensive terms, the present plaintiff was charged with misappro priating the money of the the shareholders, and, instead of employing their funds in furthering the works of the railway, that he had lent it to a failing scheme, where it would probably all be lost, and at the same time • sug gested that the plaintiff bad an interest in the contracts upon the Richmond Railway, and that the transaction was for his own personal benefit. Immediately upon the Publication of this letter application was made to the de fendant for the address of the writer, and it-then appeared that there was no •such person ,as Evan Griffiths, a shareholder in the scheme, in existence, and in the next number of the defendant's jourrarlie exptesssed his re gret that the letter had been-inserted in.ale hurry of business, and also at the.offensire observations made use of. Some further comsunicatiores )94. IR between the plainti ff 's solicitors and AhwielFild and the latter repeatedly offered to insert any statement of the real circumstances of the transaction in contradiction of the libtllous letter ; but this, it appeared, did not satisfy the plaintiff; who required that the defendant should state from his own knowledge that there was was no foundation for the charges that he had male, but this, it appeared, he declined to do, and hence the present pr. seeding. On the part of the plaintiff the libel was put in, and evidence also given to show that, so far from there being anything injurious to the interests of the shareholders of the North Wales Railway in the transactions with the Richmond Company, they were highly advantageous to them, and that they were enabled to receive a divi 'lend or 4 per cent. for their money, which would other wise have been locked up at their banker', s and not have yielded any profit. It was also shown that, instead of the Richmond Railway being at that time a failing scheme, the shares were at a premium of 61. upon 101. paid, and by the subsequent arrangement and amalgama tion with the South- Western Railway Company each shareholder received 201. for etteh share upon which only 101. had been paid originally. Mr. Sergeant SUEE, for the defendant, said he wished the jury to understand that his client admitted that he had incautiously inserted in his journal a charge against the plaintiff for which there was no foundation what ever, and, whatever might be the result of the action, the pleintiff would leave the court vvithout the slightest imputation upon his honour. Mr. Herapath had all along admitted his error, and had endeavoured to make all the atonement in his power. Immediately after the publication of the libel, he inserted a notice expressing his regret at the offensive expressions that bad been made use of towards Mr. Chadwick, and he repeatedly offered to insert any statement in contradiction of the libelahat might be furnished him by Mr. Chadwick. This, however, was not done, but ho was required to state as of his own knowledge that the charges were false, which it was impossible for him as a man of honour to do, particularly as, immediately after the publication of the later of Ryan Griffiths, he received a communication from the solicitors of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., who was then chairman of the company, the plaintiff being the deputy-chairman, in which he was called upon to contradict the statement that he (Mr. Hughes), to whom the charge was sup posed to refer, had had any share in the transaction of the loan to the Richmond Railway Company, sad that, on the contrary, he had protested strongly against that step being taken, and had instructed his solicitors to take proceedings against such of the directors as they might consider had been guilty of a breach of trust in the transaction. Under these circumstances it was im possible for the defendant to take upon himself to state what the real facts were ; but, if Mr. Chadwick had furnished him with such a statement, he would gladly have inserted it; and he therefore submitted that the de fendant had done all in his power in reparation, and that it would be very unjust to make him pay heavy da mages in such a case. The Learned Counsel then stated that, eventually, a letter was written by the se cretary of the Richmond Railway with the knowledge of the plaintiff, in which a full contradiction was given of the charge that had been made against the plaintiff, and that this letter was immediately inserted in the defend ant's journal, and, at a public meeting of the share holders of the North Wales Company, the defendant, who had made a purchase of shares expressly for the purpose of enabling him to do so, addressed the meet ing, and publicly expressed his regret at having inad vertently admitted the attack upon the plaintiff in his journal ; and, under such circumstances, he said, he could not help expressing his surprise that the present action should have been proceeded with. Evidence, documentary and parole, was then put in, to prove the statements referred to by the Learned Counsel, and the letter to which he alluded as having been written with the sanction of the plaintiff, embodying a distinct contradiction of the charges that had been made against him, and it was proved that this was immediately inserted in the journal of the defendant. Lord DFNMAN, in summing up, said that with regard to the publication of the libel the defendant had no de fence, for he had no business to insert a letter from an anonymous person making libelous charges, and, if he did so, he was responsible to the party aggrieved. He had pleaded that he had made a sufficient apology, and the letter that had been read, which was sent with the knowledge of the plaintiff, certainly put a very different complexion upon the case with regard to that pita. The jury would, however, look at all the circumstances, and say what damages the plaintiff was entitled to fur the attack that had been made upon his character. The jury, after deliberating for about five minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501., including the 51. paid into court. In the course of the day the application was renewed for the admission of Edmund Garbett, the attorney, who was committed by the Court last week to bail, but the Lord Chief Justice said that as the Central Criminal Court, where the prisoner would be tried, was then sit ting, he should not interfere. CROWN SIDE. John Madan, the younger, a publican at Kingston, was indicted for a criminal assault upon ayoung girl who had been in his service. The details of the case are quite unfit for publication. Mr. Locke prosecuted, and Mr. Chambers appeared for the defence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. Lord Chief Justice Wildo finished the criminal busi ness this morning, and then tried some common jury causes ; and it is expected that he will sit again to-day to assist in disposing of the remaining business of the assize. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmouth, April 3. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE) REES AND OTHERS V. PROTHEROE. Witnesses were called this morning for the d efendant, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd replied for the plaintiffs. His Lordship summed up, and the jury foind for the plain tiffs for the full amount of damages &alined. The ne x t an d l as t c a se on t h e li st was w i t hd rawn, a f ter anineffectual attempt made by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, with whom was Mr. Rickards, the plaintiff, to have it deferred to Monday, on the ground of the absence of a material witness ; and opposed by Mr. Wbateley, with whom was Sir T. Phillips, on behalf of the defendants. Ms Lordship then proceeded to try prisoners. Mr. Sergeant Allen also assisted in clearing the calendar. There were thus three courts sitting during the greater part of the day, disposing of the Crown business. By six o'clock, when they rose, there were only nine or ten eases remaining untried. These, however, were all of the heaviest and gravest character in the calendar, standing out in contrast to those tried to-day and yes 4 terday, which were almost without an exception, such as in any other county would have been disposed of at sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Two boys, neither of whom was more than 12 years of age, were brought before the Lord May , or, charged with hating made several attempts to pick the pockets of ladies who were passing through the streets. The prisoners, although of such tender years, were well known to several of the City police. They had some time ago begun their predatory career by stealing any trifling property exposed at shop doors i • they then aimed at silk handkerchiefs in the p oc kets of gentlemen, and they ascended from that practice to the more diffi cult one of stealing the purses of ladies. After having made many attempts without success, ono of them re ceived. a-severe slap in the face from a lady whose pocket he turned inside out. They were then taken into cus tody, but the lady seemed to think the chastisement she had inflicted quite enough, and refused to attend the justice-room. An empty purse was found in the pocket of one of them. _ . The prisoner: said the police were mistaken. An officer, who had upon a former occasion appre- hended one of the boys, said, upon seeing him in the cage, " What lis it you again 2' " Ay, ay, old fellow," replied the boy, "lam in for ' a skin' "(a purse). The boy's father, one Spurrier, upon being spoken to on the subject, said, "There's not a greater thief in London than my son. and I h o p e h e 'll b e trans p o rted for life." Thr m o th er o f the boy said, that until within the last seven or ei g ht months her son was as good a child as ever lived, but he happened to get into bad compan) and a as charged with robbery, after which he was placed amongst the most depraved thieves. From that moment he became quite careless, and would only become worse by being sent for punishment amongst experienced prisoners. One of the policemen said the boy certainly exhibited a total insensibility to disgrace, for, when in the cage and qu9stioned about his conduct, &c., ho began to dance and gave what is called the " double shuffl..." The LORD MAYOR considered the case was one which showed the necessity of increasing the responsibility of parents with resptct to the dishonest conduct of their children. He hoped that her Majesty's Government would, amongst their other great efforts for the benefit of society, include the consideration of the deplorable state of the thousands of poor children in the me tropolis, whose condition appeared at present to be inevitable. The wretched boys were remanded, and both swab gored out of the justice-room. John Hounslow, a man in the service of Messrs. Cham bers, ironmongers, was brought up, charged with having poisoned himself. It was stated that the unfortunate man had attempted to destroy himself in coneequeece of a suspicion enter tained that he had been concerned with another in robbing his masters. A person named Johnson has beet? in custody for some days upon the emerge of having plundered the premises of a large quantity of nails, and the prisoner was remanded until the day on which John son is to undergo a second examination. GUILDHALL. Joseph Alexander, the Polish refugee, was brought before Mr. Aloerman Wood for final examination, charged with uttering a forged acceptance for 5001., whereby Ileum Fuller, the backers, were defrauded of that amount. lie was further charged with a forgery at common law,. in respect to a letter purporting to be written by a person against whom he had brought an action; and he was also charged with stealing a half crown. The room was crowded to excess. Mr. Robinson, the barrister, appeared wi:h Mr. Taylor, a solicitor, on behalf of Messrs. Fuller; and Mr. Lewis conducted the prosecution. on behalf of the other parties. Mr. Jones defended the prisoner, and Mr. Wolfe ap peared on behalf of Alfred Wilhelm, otherwise John Brown, who was charged with being en accomplice in defrauding Messrs. Fuller. The charge of stealing the half-crown was first en tered upon. On the 16th ult. Alexander called in at a Mr. Alex- - ender's, a furrier, in Union-street, Spitelfields, and asked Mrs. Alexander to read a German letter to him. Her husband was present, but had occasion to leave the room, and her back being towards the fireplace, where the pri soner stood, he had an opportunity of purloining a half crown, which bad been marked by the servant and pur porely left on the mantelpiece. When he left, the half crown was missed, and he was followed and given into custody in Chiswell-street. Upon hearing the charge he at first exclaimed, " My God, I have no silver;" but tic afterwards said there was a conspiracy against him, and that the marked money was paid to him by prose cutor in IL worth of silver, and in liquidation of a debt of a The servant identified the marked half-crown taken from the prisoner by the police, and Mr. Alexander swore he did not owe the prisoner Si., or pay him 1/. in silver, or pay him anything. In cross-examination by Mi. Jones, the prosecutor I xplained that the prisoner represented to his wife that he was at• seller of languages ; but that he was not etiaged to teach her, as he had been understood to say M . r. Alderman WOOD committed him on this charge. The second charge was for uttering a forged letter, purporting to admit ha v i ng received a quantity of skins, for the value of which he bad brought an action against the simulated writer. Mr. Lewis, in stating the case, said that it would be observed that the forged letter bore a post mark in the vicinity of the residence of the alleged writer, and that two blank letters addressed by the prisoner to himself were found at his lodging. They were posted in the like manner, and the object was to have them ready to be filled up in any way that would best sustain the action brought for a suppositious debt. The production of a letter which had reached the plaintiff through the post would of course tell with the jury. Mr. Let,is ad dressed himself to the law of the case, to show that an indictment fur forgery would lie where the instrument forged was of less importance than a will, writ, or deed. Mr. Alderman WOOD said be would tsko it that the forging of any writing for the Furpose of duing wrong to another amounted to forgery in law. Mr. Jones submitted that, as an action of debt was pending in another place, no proceeding could be taken in this Court in respect to the subject-matter of it that would have the effect of getting rid of the suit. The magistrate would otherwise be trying the case of debt. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, it was qu - te comp: tent the prosecutor to proceed with any criminal charge as soon as he discovered the necessary proofs. Mr. Harris Michael, a furrier, in Castle-street, Houndsditch, deposed that he had received two lawyer's letters, demanding a debt of 97/, one a year ag,,, th e other six months ago. lie owed the party nothing, and handed the letters to his solicitors, Messrs. Wire and Child. No writs were issued by them, but he was served with a writ by a third attorney, who was employed by the prisoner. This was on the Ist of March last. (A letter was then put in, bearing the post-mark, " Bishops gate Within, July 6, 1845. ' It began by stating that the writer feared, from the tenor of the prisoner's letter, that he supposed he (the writer) had sold the skins, but he had not done so ; ho bad left them to be sold by commission, as the marks had not been removed well enough. The writer offered to accept a bill for 501., and referred to another transaction in mink skins. It was signed " Harris," and addressed to the prisoner Alex ander.) The witness said he was as often called Harris as Michael. The signature to the letter was an imitation of his signature, but he never wrote that letter or any ether to Alexander, and never had any transaction in mink skins or any skins. He owed him nothing, and never did owe him anything. Mr. Alderman WOOD doubted whether the letter was suc h a one as would lead a jury to find ag a inst the sup posed writer on the tria l o f the action. The action was tOr the value of furs deposited with Mr. Ilarre. The such let property. terwasnet precisely an admission o f p ossess i on o f Mr. Lewis said, it was not a question whether it was sufficient, but whether it was intended to be sufficient. Whether it admitted only receiving authority to sell, or the actual deposit of the goods, would be quite a question for the jury. Mr. Child spoke to the proceedings he took for Mr. Harris. The officer deposed to r e c e iving the forged letters, amongst a number of other p a p ers, as documents left by the prisoner with Mr. Gates, a solicitor in Thanet-place, who issued the writ for the prisoner. Mr. Gates said, the p a p ers h e delivered to the o ffi cer were left by the pri soner for care only , and were not papers delivered to him as evidenc e to he adduced in any s p u r l ee tt e d e . din l ba d )n(r papers upon which he had been con declined acting any longer for the pri soner as his attorney, before the prisoner showed him the letter produced. ' Mr. Alderman %Toon struck out the evidence as to what was sa id between the prisoner and his attorney, as being a privileged communication which the attorney had no right to reveal, even in a criminal case, without the sanction of his client. If such communications were not privileged an accused person would, to some extent, be deprived of the means of defending himself. The prisoner was commi ted on this charge. The third case was against Alexander aal Wilbeam, , alias Brown, jointly. Mr. Robinson o pened the case at some length. We have recently stated the substance of the evidence. At the end of December the forged acceptance of 5001. was paid at Messrs. Fullers'. On the 16th of February Alexander gave charge of two persons, named Nicholas Kerp and the prisoner Brown, for committing that offence. Brown got away before they reached the station-house, and Alexander also slipped off; but there was abundant evidence against Kerp, and he was com mitted for trial. Alexander was subsequently appre hended for stealing the half-crown, and a few days after Brown was discbvered at a coffee-shop in Soho. On the way to the station-house he,confessed he was the party. who uttered the bill, but said it was Alexander, who had given him and Kerp into-custody, that furnished them with the bill. In consequence of his communi cativeness, the solicitors to the bankers sent his clerk to the station-house to invite him to make a voluntary statement. This statement was the principal new evi dence tendered to-day. It was made in the presence of a policeman, taken down by the solicitor's clerk, and signed by the prisoner. The confession states, that he was working as a painter when Alexander called upon him on the 28th of Deem her, and said he wanted him to do something particulkir for him. lie went to A l exan d e r's lodgings, stoppM there that night, an d next morn i ng Alexander said ht i had a bill of M r .

Alexander said, " Don't pall the ferment to change, f or hi m , money out here." They all went to the Royal Exchange, w hero he, by Kerp's order, gave Alexander two 50/ 5001., and found Kerp, Alexander, and a notes, and the four l oot, notes to Kerp. Alexander said he must have gold for his notes, and he gave one to iu walkt d with him other. They each obtain ed gold for their notes, and while they were there r in to change his notes.

Mr. Ald erman W OOD declined admitting Brown as a trial, one fo r utterin g, witness, and said l‘ ee must leave that to the discretion of the judge. The defence upon this charge was re served. Mr. Alderman Wool) commi tte d the tn.o prisoners for the fact. The proceedi ngs occupied above s i x hours. and the other as accessor y before WORSHIP-STREET. Alfred Bl ac k top, a youth about 16 year s of a g e , son of a respectable carpenter and builder at Hack the Hackney, was placed a t t h e bar More Mr. Art.old, Oarged with having been found upon the premises of Messrs. Joseph Church and Co., brewers, at Cambridge heath, with la tent to commit a felony, Police-constable SBB N stated, that it formed part of i his duty to examine periodically during the night the i prosecutor's premises, which covered a large extent of ground, and were surrounded with a brick wall, enclos ing, besides the brewery, cooperage, and out- offices, a furnished dwelling-house in which the family resided, and large shrubbery. For this purpose be was intrusted with a duplicate key to admit himself at a side entrance, and on opening this door at one o'clock that morning, hearing the sound of footsteps in the court-yard inside, he proceeded to the spot, and detected the prisoner secreted between the wall and a large tree, from which he dragged and searched him, and found in his pockets an iron chisel and bradawl, and a quantity of lucifer matches. On taking him up to the dwelling-house, at the rear of the promises, he also discovered a large flanging-iron, or cramp ended chisel, used by coopers in staving butt , , and which he had since ascertained had been left by one of the workmen in the cooperage the night before, lying between the prosecutors' ball-door and parlour window, beneath which, in the garden mould, were distinct foot-prints recently made. 011 questioning the prisoner what business he had there, he told him that he had entered the premises for an exigent purpose, and acknowledged he had got there by scaling a pair of iron gates full e,ght feet high, which he must have had the greatest difficulty in accomplishing, as there was scarcely room to admit a person's body between them and the brick arch, and they were mounted with spikes ; but witness was satisfied he must have d,ne se, as both entrances were securely locked when he had be fore left them, and he again found them so on detecting the prisoner Inside. Hockley, one of the prosecutors' workmen, deposed to leaving the flanging-iron on the top of a butt in the cooperage at six o'clock on the pit ceding night, and that the spot where it was found by the police was full 30 3 ards from where he had lett it. Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, addressed the Magistrate on behalf of his client, and pointed out the utter improbability of the son of a respectable _tradesmen, of hitherto unimpeachable character, being actuated by the felonious intention imputed to him in this charge, which he was instructed to deny in the most positive terms, and to declare that the prisoner had been ;Agit out on an errand by his mother at the time in ques _tiort, nd finding one of the prosecutors' gates acciden tally left open by the constable, had entered the pre mises for the purpose be had stated to the officer, and been taken by the police as soon as he had got in. He should prove that the implements found upon the pri soner were the ordinary tools employed in his business, and he had several witnesses in attendance who would give him the highest character for steadiness and ho nesty, The Learned Gentleman then called the prisoner's fa ther, and two tradesmen named Simonds and Harwood, the former of whom stated that his son was at work in the workshop when he left him on the preceding morn ing with similar tools to those produced, the two latter depose that his character for probity an l good conduct had been unimpeachable all the time they had known him. The constable, however, swore that the prisoner could not have obtained entrance to the premises in the acci- dental msnner his solicitor had stated, and that the ac cused had three times confessed to him that he had scaled the gat( s tl - e way he had described; and Mr. ARNOLD, under these circumstances, considered that the time and manner in which the prisoner had been detected were so . replete with suspicion, that it was his duty to afford time for further inquiry, and, therefe•re, ordered the accused to be brought up again next week for that purpose; but expressed his willingness to accept substantial bail tor his future appearance, if it could be procured. The bail wag shortly afterwards put in, and the pri sorer thereupon liberated. MUSICAL LIBRARY OF THE LATE MR. ALSAGER. —The Earl of Falmouth h . as recently purchased the extensive and valuable library of this deceased amateur. The pianoforte compositions consist entirely of works of the classical masters ; the sonatas, duets, trios, (par tots, quintets, sestets, and concertos in one division alone, making upwards of 164 volumes. Of quartets for stringed instruments there are 107 volumes. The quintets occupy 68 volumes ! The sestets, septeri, and ultra, for both stringed and wind instruments, are con tamed in 41 volumes; There are 9 volumes of trios ; 7 volumes of violin and violoncello duets ; 8 volumes of Handers Overtures ; 13 volumes of studios, sobs, and is é hodes for various instruments ; and 23 folios of modern unbound concerted music. The collection of . sacred vocal music is extremely limited, consisting only of 67 volumes ; these, however, irclude Handers Oratorios, Moiart's Masses, Spohr's, Haydn's, and Beethoven's Oratorios and Masses. The lyrical works for voice and piano, including the best of Rossini's Operas, Weber , Spohr, Cherubini, Gluck,—Beethoven, and Mozart, oc cupy 50 volumes. There are also 22 volumes of old English operas, and some miscellaneous pieces by English composers: The :cores are few; these being chiefly c'l quartets and symphonies, in all 50 volumes. The literary and theoi etical works are still fewer, consisting only of ei4ht volumes ! The portraits of distinguished musicians and arti:ts du theatre that were hung on the walls of the music room amount to 180, in frames. The noble earl who is now in possession of this collection of music and musical portraits is well known as a practical amateur on the violin.—Record of Musical Union. It will be recollected that on the evening of the 11th January the inhabitants of the Faubourg Mont martre were alarmed by cries of " Help ! Murder l" and that on some persons proceeding to a room in the house No. 4, a young woman was bound lying on the floor, covered with blood, with several wounds on diffe rent parts of her body, whilst in the next room was a young man, who exclaimed, " Don't hurt me, I sur render—it is I who have killed the woman !" At the sitting of the Court of Assizes of the Seine, on Saturday, this man was brought to trial for an attempt at assassina- Lien in order to commit a robbery. His name is Mar quis, his age 22, his trade that of a cabinet maker, and his appearance particularly juvenile. On the day pre ceding that on which the crime was committed, he to,k a sum of 125 f. from the person by whom he was em• ployed, and went for a walk. He fell in with a young woman named Senet, and persuaded her to dine with him. They then went to the theatre, and after supper went to the woman's lodgings, where they passed the night. Marquis thus got rid of his money. The next morning the woman showed him "her little treasure, consisting of several pieces of gold, a gold watch, and some silver. According to his own confession, Mar quis determined to obtain possession of the money and the watch, even if he should be obliged to murder the woman. The woman went out, and during her absence he took the things. On her return she missed them, and insisted on having them returned. The prisoner at first refused, and a struggle took place. At last he gave up the money, and said that he had only taken it by way of joke, and that he was very rich. Soma time after the woman began to dress, and whilst so em ployed, the prisoner rushed upon her, and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife. She received fifteen wounds altogether, two of which were very serious. For two months her life was in danger, and she has not yet en tirely recovered. The jury declared the prisoner guilty , without extenuating circumstances, and the Court con demned him to death. He heard his sentence without the slightest emotion, and gazed unconcernedly around the Court as if looking for some one.—Galignani. FIG TREE OF SCRIPTURE.--The fig tree is fre• quently mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, and is com mon throughout Palestine and the East generally. Amongst the ancient Hebrews it was known as Thaena, signifying the tree of grief, probably from the leaf causing inflammation when applied to the body. It was from this tree that our first parents, after the fall, twisted for themselves girdles or aprons. Throughout the Holy Land the failure or destruction of the fig tree was accounted ono of the greatest public or private cala mities. Hence it is said, " Although the fig tree shall not blossom, &c., yet will I rejoice in the Lord." In ancient Greece this fruit tree was well known, and exten sively cultivated. It was the pride of Attica. According to the traditions of the Athenians, figs first grew on a spot not far distant from the city, on the road to Eleusis, theme called Hiera Sake, " the sacred fig tree." So much prized was the fruits here produced, that the inhabitants were forbidden to export them. This law, however, was often contravened, and the informers against the delinquents were called sycophants, or " revealers .of figs;" a word which has since been in use to characterise weaned-souled, dastardly persons, such as informers generally are. Naxos, a celebrated country in the lEgean sea, was celebrated for its fig trees, which were especially cherished by Bacchus, who was the chief god of the island. Here this divinity obtained the title of Meilichios, " the gracious," because he taught them the use of this fruit. In the procession of this god the fig was carried next to the vine. Throughout Sussex the fig is planted' as a standard tree.—Horticultural Ma gazine. .- . TUB RESOVECES OF ENGLAND.—What is now acing in England proves that there are no eventuali -1 which can_ps . ril the repose of a nation when that on obeys ANtise and vigorous Government. The ISh nation is itten by one of those calamities of hithere have, no examples since the famines of . ;kiddie ages.% ngland has the whole of Ireland nfisather shoulders-5,000,000 or 6,000,000 persons to feedlii Work must be found, 600,000 labourers employed at once, provisions procured, bread and money distri buted, anti prePOnt necessities provided for without neglecting the care of the future. The most moderate calculations estimate the sacrifices of the treasury at 250,090,000 francs until the next harvest. Suppose that France, which appears to have been comparatively spared, should find herself at this moment in a similar situation, how would our finances resist the pressure of the various charges, which already exceed the revenue? We bleed ourselves at every vein to distribute, a few millions by way of indemnity to the inundated' victims of the Loire, and to pay the labour of to needy part of the population. What would it' be, then,tkt' individual misfortunes, instead of being counted by thouands,ac cumulated by millions? What enables England to meet unforeseen necessities is the provident economy which she has introduced for some years into the managiment of her finances.--Siiele. SUPPLY OF INDIAN MEAL FOR IRELAND PROM MALTA.—It gives us real pleasure to announce that since the steam engine has been at work at the new bakery in tho Dockyark Creek, that the Government has in a most praiseworthy manner lost no time in availing of this undertaking in providing for the wants of the fa mishing Irish. The surprising quantity of 30 or 40 tons of viral have frequently been manufactured in one day. Several hundred tons have already left Malta for Ccrk, in a merchant vessel, called the Sir Robert Peel ; another is now loaded, the Altona, and her Majesty's ship Athol will sail shortly for the same port, with a large supply.—Malta Mail.

GREAT REVOLUTION IN STEAM PROPULSION. This heading will startle many of our readers. In genuity has been expended in devising an improvement on the present mode of propelling ships by steam. Against the old paddle-wheels strong objections as to the loss of power, and other drawbacks upon a steamer's progress, have been urged, which it would he useless to repeat here, for they are well known to practical en gineers and seamen ; and a remedy was sought for in the screw. The screw has been only partially success ful, as its limited adaptation proves. The only vessel of note to which it has been applied is the Great Britain, and the unfortunate termination of her career hardly gave that invention a fair trial on a large scale. But a discovery has now been perfected by Mr. S. R. Park hurst, a gentleman of great mechanical ingenuity, a hich must supersede the existing modes of steam propulsion, and revolutionise the traffic by sea. This invention is secured by patent in Great Britain and. all her colonies, the United States, France, and all other parts of the world. It is not merely original, but like most useful inven tions, remarkably, nay, beautifully simple. The advan tages are threefold—a greatly increased rate of speed, a vastly increased power of stowage, by the reduction of the present cumbrous machinery in the holdsof steamers, and reduced expenditure iu the cost of the engine power. It is difficult to make ourselves clear on these points without the aid of a diagram. But we may state, briefly, that a number of submerged vertical propeller: are to be fixed on each side of the vessel; these revolve in unison, and by the force with which they take hold of the water, and the power which this combined action gives them, mast send forward the ship at a speed altogether unat tainable by the present or any known system. It is asserted, by practical men, that a vessel so propelled would cross the Atlantic in nearly half the tune of the beat steamers now employed in ocean navigation. This invention has undergone the scrutiny of eminent and practical men in England, by whom the most favour able opinions have been expressed of its practical cha racter. During the past week experiments have been tried by the application of steam power to those pro pellers, one of which, six feet high, thirty inches dia meter, was driven by a six-horse power engine 294 revo lutions per minute, which a practical gentleman pros, nt stated would drive a vessel twenty-fire miles per hour. This test has removed all doubts on the minds of those who were previously the most sceptical.. We cannot dilate on the importance of this greatest of modcrn in ventions with regard to steam navigation but this we may say, that since the days of Arkwright nothing equa in importance to it has appeared, and we expect it will remain a brilliant proof of the genius and the judgment of the inventor. We understand that Mr. Parkhurst leaves by the Sarah Sands, on a temporary visit to America; the ob ject, we believe, is to lay his important invention before the Government of the United States, whose navy and cammerce, wo fet confident, will be greatly enhanced by the application of an invention which promises to revolutionise the whole system of navigation.— Widmer and Smith's European Times. ANECDOTE OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF I MISER —One of those extraordinary personages, whose parsi monious habits and amor nu:nmi, producing eccentrici ties, such as makes the merry to laugh and even the grave to) smile, departed this life at Caledon, on Tkurs day, the 18th inst. Tice following are a few of the mis haps and traits in the story of this notorious miser, who was called Michael Braga, alias li' Kenna. The fir s t misfortune that befel him after his coming to this neigh bourhood a good many years ago, was, he had scraped together five pounds in bank notes, hese he stealthily stuffed into the thatch at the eve of his master's house, but, the night ho did so king dark, he could not after wards find the spot, nor was it discovered until the house next underwent thatching, when they were got all melted into pulp. He would not after allow the god of his idolatry to assume such a fragile shape as piper, so his next savings were made in that more substantial metal called silver. his next hoarding was hid in the ditch of a field, and his fre quent visits to the spot attracted the notice of a servant girl of the place where he then lived, who discovered the hidden treasure to the amount of 251., all in half-crowns, except one sovereign ; the girl decamped with the booty, which, when lost to the worshipper, produced from him wailing and lamentation the most piteous. These savings were made, it may be easily conjectured, by privations and self-denial the most rigid, hits food for many years did not amount to more than l d. per day, although he enjoyed good health, and was constantly employed. He at ene time bought a pair of shoes, and to mike them last long be put them by, and went barefoot until the moulded and were good for nothing. A few hours be fore his death he requested to be brought to a neigh bouring grove to get his money ; a donkey and cart was accordingly prccursd, when noaring the place, unable to open his eyes, he asked his brother to lift his eyelid, that he might poiet out the spot. The money being secured he seemed a little at ease as he was drawn home, his guides most inhumanely allowing his head to bump about the cart like a dead carr:on. Half an hour before dying, he ordered bread and tea to be got, of which h took a heavy meal, saying the while that had he done s before he would not have been so sick. His relations teasing him about the disposal of his last savings, amounting to 101. Ils., he swore d—n him, if they vexed him more, that be would not leave one of them a far thing.—Ulster Gazette. GLASGOW PIG IRON TEADS.—Transactions this seek have been very similar as to prices with these of last week. For some time past the principal founderies of Scotland have been at a stand from strikes among the workmen, but this decrease of consumpiiim has been made up by shipments to the United States, which have of late been considerable. The numerous vessels arriv ing in the Clyde from that quarter with grain and cotton fill up with pig iron, at the rate, in many instances, of 18s. per ton; and altogether the prospects of trade with America are very cheering. We quote the price at 71s. 6d. per ton, and with little offering at that rate. —National Advertise?. THE LATE MURDERS IN KILKENNY.—Thomas Roe, ;he men who was found wounded, and was carried to the Kells Police-station, on the day Mr. Prim, the pay cloth, and the police-constable were murdered, died on Wednesday morning. The same day an inquest was held on his body. One of the police deposed to deceased having confessed to him, shortly before his death On the previous night, that he (deceased) was one of the murderers, and that he received his wound from a pistol fired by Mr. Prim. On this evidence the jury found a verdict of " Justifiable homicide."—Kilkenny Journal. DzEr SEA. FISHERIES.—The fishing trade has been at times of more advantage to the Dutch than their trade with the East Indies, or that of the Spaniards with the West Indies. The Dutch used to call their herring trade their gold mine, and remember it in their prayers. Philip 11. of Spain agreed to pay 1,000/. to the Irish Treasury for leave to fish on the Irish coasts. The Dutch, in the time of Charles 1., paid 30,0001. sterling for a similar licence as to the British coasts ; and, in 1650, as a great indulgence, Sweden was suffered to employ only 1,000 vessels in the fishery on these coasts. In the reign of James I. it appeared that the Dutch fished in the English seas with 3,000 vessels and 50,600 men ; while 9,000 other vessels were employed conveying provisions, salt, ea-lo ' &c, to the fishermen, and taking the fish to market. Upon the whole, it was computed that the number of shits and other vessels employed by the Dutch in these fisheries in the British seas were about 12,000, and nearly . 200,000 men—a Lumber almost passing belief. Why is not this energy displayed by us at the present day ?—lnverness Courier. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few days ago, a hen belonging to Mr. Richards, of the gas works, in this city, and which he had lost for exactly three weeks, was found in a deep inclosed space behind a large tank at the works. It had probably descended there through a small orifice, which was the only entrance to it, for the purpose of laying, but found it impossible to return on account of its wings being clipped, and the entrance being so high up from the ground. The poer fowl had laid one egg, the shell and the white of which she had demolished, but although tempted by a hunger of three weeks duration, she had refused to touch the yolk. There was no other kind of food or water in the cell. When taken out, its comb was blue, and it presented other symptoms of emaciation, but is now fast recovering.— Worcestershire Chronicle. We have to record the.demise of his Excellency Franceso Carboni, the Senior Diplomatist at the Court of Sweden, who died at Stockholm at the close of last month, in his 87th year. The deceased was Chargé d'Affaires of the Duke of Lucca, and fulfilled that' office thirty years at Stockholm. He was also Consul-General for Naples, Sicily, Rome, and Sardinia. His Excellency the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron Von Ihre, and the entire corps diplomatique, attended the funeral of the deceased. SURPLUS GAME.—We are glad to be informed that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire has ordered the sur plus game atChatsworth and neighbourhood to be killed, and that that is new being done. Mr. Arkwright is taking the same laudable course upon his Derbyshire estates. Let others who possess excess of game pursue the same judicious and desirable plan. Excessive game preserving has been the very nursery for poaching, or, in other words, _a premium for poaching. NARROW Esc APE FROM SUFFOCATION IN A Cnuacn.—On Sunday last, during the morning ser vice at Powick Church, a young lady was observed to be in a fainting condition, and the same sy m pt oms a l most immediately aft erwar d s affected others of the congrega tion, to the number of about twenty.. - They were con• veyed into the open air and to the adjoining houses, and after some time and trouble they all recovered, having apparently suffered severely from incipient suffocation. It was found on investigation, that the alarming occur rence was caused by the sulphureous vapour evolved in the process of :combuta' ion from the coke used for the purpose of warming th e church.— Worcester Herald. CartTEREMRT.—SOUIe surprise has been manifested that the Judge of the Small Debts' Court for this dis trict has not appointed his circuit. But we hear that Mr. Chilton has declined to accept the office, which has occasioned the delay, and that Mr. C. Harivoed has been appointed in his stead. Mr. G.

" Believe me, dear Lord Londonderry, yours most truly. " G. E. M. DAWSON. . " Newcastle, March 24th, 1847." BRETT'S ELECTRIC PRINTING TELEGRAPH. An opportunity was afforded us on Saturday of wit nessing the practical application of Mr. Brett's electric printing telegraph, at the office of the company, in Par liament-street This telegraph has for some time past been successfully worked in America, and reports have reached this country of communications having been regularly made by it between Philadelphia and Pitts burg, a distance of 300 miles, with the most extraordi nary accuracy and celerity. It is also stated that the message of the governor to the Legislature of New York, delivered in Albany on the 7th of January, con sisting of two columns and a half of solid nonpareil type, was published in the city of New York two hours after its delivery, having been transmitted sentence by sentence by the telegraph in questi( n; and that measures are in the course of progress for the extension of this wonderful invention throughout the whole of Lon er and Upper Canada, embracing at the same time Wash • ington and New Orleans. The apparatus is thus de scribed in the prospectus of the company :—" At one extremity of the line is fixed a small box containing a row of keys (similar to those ef a pianoforte), and marked with the letters of the alphabet, which is connected by a single wire to a printing machine at the other extre mity, containing a wheel, having on its circumference corresponding letters. A sligUt electric power is suffi cient to regulate the motion of the whole, and the in stant that a key representing any particular letter is touched at one end of the line, the corresponding letter of the type wheel prints, and the alarm• bell rings, at the other. The communications are printed on a scroll of paper of unlimited length, from which any portion of the correspondence may be cut off at pleasure." The expe riments at which we were present on Saturday were satisfactory in the extreme ; and proof was given that between 80 and 90 letters could be impressed with ease in a single minute upon the recipient paper, while the consecutive letters of the alphabet were even taken down in so short a time as eleven seconds ! The appearance of the typography is clean, but the lines are slightly irregular. It is, however, beautifully clear and legible , and whatever defects there may be on the score of sytie metry may, ro doubt, be easily removed by a little mechanical consideration. The advantages which this telegraph enjoys over all others are too obvious to need mentioning. Correspondence can be transmitted free!, place to place, no matter the extent of distance, copies et which may be simultaneously secured' at all the inter mediate stations,.and printed news thus fly over the surface of the land with the incomprehensible velocity of lightning. In a letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel, in July, 184 5 9 by Mr. Brett, the attention of the Government was in yitod to the folic:mint , proposals:-Ist.

That the in' vendors contains within itself these and other advantages cannot for a moment be questioned; and it can h a rdly be doubted that, before long, the British public will more or less be in possession of them.
