TUESDAY, APRIL 6, 1847. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. The Return of the net produce of the Revenue of Great Britain, for the quarter ending sth April, 1847, is most satisfactory, exhibiting, as it does, an increase on the year of 1,538,1681, and on the quarter of 403,6321. Still more - satisfactory is it to know that this increase is derived from perfectly legitimate sources, and that it maybe taken as an index of the prosperity of the country, and of the truth of those principles of free trade which have been of late years adopted by successive ministers. The total Customs Revenue for the quarter amounts to 4,447,6731., and for the year t 018,796,620/., showing an increase en the quarter of 485,7551., and on the year of 1,132,0021, and this without any aid from the duties on corn, which formed a large item in the returns for the preceeding quarter. This proves to demonstration, that a de crease of duty is always followed by an increase of Revenue, and this position is still further demon strated by the return of the Revenue from the Excise. Notwithstanding the abolition of some of the Excise duties, and the reduction of many others, the Excise Revenue for the quarter amounts to 1,652,8651., and for the year to 12,547,6571., showing an increase on the year of 661,572/., and on the quarter of 26,4071. This increase is very satisfactory, as showing, that notwithstanding the partial distress existing in some districts of England, and affecting the whole of Ireland, and the greater part of Scot land, the bulk of the population of the Empire, are still enabled to indulge, to some extent, in the use of those humble luxuries which are subject to the duties of Excise. On Stamps there is a decrease on the year of 32,6931., but an increase on the quarter of 131,4141.; the amount for the year being 7,062,8281., and for the quarter 1,817,282/. This may be considered as satis factory, inasmuch as the increase on the quarter is the result of legitimate trading, while the decrease on the year arises from the cessation of the railway proportions. The sum received for Taxes amounts, for the year, to 4,257,1581., and for the quarter to 130,8921., showing an increase on the year of 33,1191., and a decrease on the quarter of 15,250/. On the Property-tax there is an increase of 69,1901. on the quarter, and of 379,840/. on the year ; the total amount fpr the quarter being 2,033,0721., and for the year 5,464,5811. The Post-office revenue continues steadily on the increase ; for the year it amounts to 820,000/., for the quarter to 219,000/., showing an increase in the year of 52,0001., and on the quarter of 4,000/. The revenue derived from Crown lands shows vdecrease in the quarter of 8,000/., and on the year of 18,0001., the total amount of revenue derived from this source being for the year 112,0001., and for the quarter 37,000/. Under the head Mis cellaneous, we find an increase on the quarter of 1,071/., on the year of 129,273/. ; the total re venue derived from this source being for the quarter 92,593/., and for the year 318,161/. The total ordinary revenue for the year amounts to 49,379,005/., and for the quarter to 10,430,377/., showing a net increase on the year cf 1,538,168/., and on the quarter of 403,632/. The total charge (including 2,800,000/. advanced to Ire land, per Act 9 and 10 Vic., cap. 107) amounts for the quarter to 10,992,6361. The surplus on the present quarter is 628,7811., to which is to be added the sur plus of Revenue on the sth January, 1847, amounting to 1,365,455/., making the total surplus of the Con solidated Fund, 1,994,236/. Farewell—we trust a long farewell— has been taken by the Afrancesados to all their greatness in the Spanish capital. Queen ISABELLA. has given a brilliant testimony of her disinclination to succumb to the tyrannic influence of LOUIS PHILIPPE or of his truckling Minister. Queen ISABELLA has done more—she has evinced a capacity in ridding her councils of unpatriotic interlopers beyond what could have been at all anticipated, and calculated to enlist for herself those popular affections which during her girlhood have been so unhappily estranged. We are disposed to congratulate the Spaniards upon the course just adopted by their SOVEREIGiq, though it were of course premature to commend the embryo Cabinet for a liberality that is merely hinted and an independence that is only supposititious. By a gradual process of liberalization the Govern ment of Spain has risen from the slavish ness of Isruairz to the indefinite obse quiousness of SOTOMATOE, and has now passed into the hands of the more generously disposed PACIIECO. Whether the programme of the new Administration has been merely coloured with de ceptive promises for the purpose of inveigling the multitude into submission and confidence, or whether the dazzling inuendoes of that programme are to be actually realised, the lapse of a few months, probably of a few weeks, will sufficiently testify. That such, an abrupt secession from the Afraneesado policy should inspire the Parisian organs of CHRISTINA and Gurzol with a suspicion that Mr. BULWEE is at the bottom of the whole transaction ; that they should con ceive in the first ebullition of their chagrin that the English Ambassador at the Court of Madrid has been the principal instigator in the ex pulsion of SOTOMATOR from authority, is but natural. It is unnecessary, however, to observe that these sus picions are as visionary as they are splenetic. In extricating herself from her recent thraldom— from a thraldom that has increased frightfully from Is ionTrElisran—her Duke banishment of ESPARTERO to the marriage of the Administration. MAJESTY has signifi cantly shown her of her unpropitiouas partiahiity for a more constitu tional May these propitious au guriesheheultitZuteel youth be fulfilled and de zrev.arication, never- Iberia by de veloped! h e e l o l e p s e s d , to screen r woul deent attempting to impart an air undueofisevl of • to these temporary improvements and qsanimeslnrettanacde vantages. Whatever may be the immediate quences of the late Ministerial changes, it is impossible to forget for an instant that the threads of the e destiny of Spain are still held in the grasp of Lours PHILIPPE. If that monarch be not really, as Mrs. MALAPROP says, like Cerberus, " three gentlemen in one," he unquestionably comprises in his own proper person all the invidious characteristics of the three Parcae. As far as the Peninsula is concerned, the French KING holds at once the spindle, the wheel, and the shears. He retains more than a life-interest in the sway exercised over the Spanish dominions : he re gulates, in short, the destinies of Spain, by having secured the reversion of its dynastic privileges to the offspring of his youngest son. Congratulate ourselves and Spain therefore as we may upon the instalment of Senor PA CHECO in the presidential chair of ISABELLA'S per sonally selected Cabinet; rejoice as we may over the probability of a comprehensive and benignant amnesty ; exult as we may over the auspicious birth of the Pacheco Administration, over the indisputable discomfiture of the pimping polity of the Afrance sados, and over the rumoured restoration of ESPAE TERO to those dignities and immunities which his prowess, his genius, and his patriotism had nobly earned—it would be folly to conceal from ourselves the conviction that these boons can merely be of temporary duration unless the laws of nature and the dispositions of a whole people be miraculously transformed. Happily, however, there is invariably a residuum of Hope after the most Pandorean torrent of affliction, and this Hope beams brightly enough from the embers of the traitorous Afrancesados. Courage, then, to those lovers of fatherland who may evince in cherishing the financial prosperity of their country, in maintaining an honourable friendship with disinterested states, and in conducting the in ternal administration with sobriety, probity, and regularity, as heroic, though scarcely so chivalrous and picturesque a patriotism, as that evinced by Spanish Hidalgos of the olden time. Men now a-days cannot assert their loyalty to the con stitution, or their devotion to the land of their birth by donning hauberks of " twisted mail," or couching lances of tough ash, but they may much more effectually, if not so picturesquely, become the preux-chevaliers of a nation by adroitly fingering the red tape, and judiciously arranging the portfolio. We are not indisposed to be sanguine therefore as to the benefits which may be derivable from PACIECO and his colleagues. It is a lamentable fact that, for the most part, the occupants of the magisterial bench seem to be rsh9lly insensible to the serious responsibility attached to the functions which they hare to discharge. The responsibility can scarcely be said to be of a personal character, for, except in cases where wilful malice can be substantiated, the law effectually screens the magistrate from suffering, either in his person or pocket, for any consequences, however injurious, that may have resulted to an accused party, from the inadequate performance of his judicial functions. But, notwithstanding that their personal responsibility, for the reason stated, is practically next to nothing, they still lie under a very heavy moral responsibility to the public, proportionate to the extensive powers with which the law has clothed their office. It grieves us to repeat that there is a wide-spread in difference to the strength of this public obligation, as evidenced by the repeated blunders and serious errors into which the magisterial body are constantly fall ing ; and even where this feeling of indifference does not exist, on account of the lax manner in which the corps of justices is organized, the public suffer just as much in another way, as though it did, owing to the gross ignorance and incompetency of a large proportion of those who are placed in the commission of the peace. Neither can we expect to rid ourselves of these objectionable blots, which affect the administration of j ustice in the hands of the minor functionaries of the law, until the system by which they obtain their authority be en tirely revised. It is notorious that the magisterial bench is filled by men whose qualifications for the dig nity have been inconsiderately measured, not by their intellectual capacity, but by their personal influence, as connected with property. If a person resident in a county is desirous of elevating his social position among his neighbours, he frequently induces bis tenantry to vote for the political party, from whom the aim of his ambition is not kept a secret, and through whom, by a seasonable hint to the Lord- Lieutenant, he is in due . time raised to the bench. In this way individual vanity is gratified, the re quirements of the public, that the magistrates should 'verses in tne laws or mar country, beibg almoit altogether unheeded. Considering, however, the hap-hazard mode, and the heterogeneous materials out of which the justices of peace are constituted, it is matter of wonder that the administration of the law is so well conducted as it is ; and, at all times, it is far more gratifying to admire than to criticise and reprehend the manner in which the servants of the Crown, in their several departments, perform their duties to the State. The admirable efficiency that ordinarily stamp the judicial conduct of the successive Chief Magistrates of the city of London is deserving of the highest eulogy ; and we always feel chagrined when anything occurs calculated to de tract from the efficacy of their example. A man, who called himself JOHN BAKER, was charged before the LORD MAYOR on Saturday with having shouted out, " There goes a - Bobby !" whilst two of the City police were following two thieves. The latter took the hint and made off. The police, considering this exclamation an interference with their duty, inquired of BAKER what he meant by it, and ultimately took him into custody. This was an unjustifiable act. A man is not to be de- prived of his liberty because he happens to exercise his lungs and voice in the manner above-mentioned, and because others choose to presume it was done for a sinister object. Such a proceeding constitutes a dangerous precedent where the liberty of the sub ject is concerned, and alarms people as to the extent to which the police may, even for the most trivial circumstance, be inclined to stretch their authority ; and it is no justification of such a step to allege, or prove, that the prisoner has not borne a reputable character. It may be that the prisoner was both abu ,ive in his language and violent in his demeanour when addressed by the police; but had they any right, in the first instance, to interrogate him as they did ? We think not. They clearly exceeded the limits of their duty. It was proved that, two years since, the pri soner had been tried for stealing a watch. The pri soner declared that he was honourably acquitted, and had since been honestly employed, whereupon the LORD MAYOR remarked, " the magistrates well know how frequently juries acquit in cases of guilt, in con sequence of the ingenuity of counsel, the tampering with witnesses, and other circumstances." These were exceedingly ill-timed observations, which, however true, ought never to be made from the seat of justice. In the eye of the law a man is considered innocent until found guilty, and it is highly unbecoming in a judge to weaken the value of this presumption to a man who has been tried and acquitted—to surmise, off-hand, and parti cularly after a lapse of two years, that a man owed his release from the grasp of the law, not to his in nocence of the crime charged, but to the dexterity of his counsel. Such extra-judicial remarks may be quoted and successfully handled by a malignant person, inflicting great pain upon another, who has been under the misfortune of having stood a trial for an offence of which, in the opinion of •very candid mind, he was then considered to be wholly innocent. The theory of the law, to which we are alluding, is equally wholesome and bene volent, presenting a fine moral bulwark against the shafts of malice and the assaults of tyranny. It is based upon a sound principle, and ought not to be tampered with. It is a principle that ought to be rigidly maintained, however dubious its application may appear to be in any given instance ; and, least of all, should its sanctity be invaded by those who, by their position, are expected to be its most faithful guardians. All danger of a deficiency of food in Ireland is now happily dispersed; the enormous quantity of bread stuffs that have been imported into that country have had the effect, not only of bringing down the markets to more reasonable rates, but of inducing persons who had hoarded large quantities of corn, and other cereal produce, to bring forth their secret stores to the w or ld. F ew persons w ill b e f oun d t o regret t h e disappointment that awaited those h ear tl ess men , who, with ample su ppli es i n th e i r p ossess i on , saw des tltutihoods, an d theon prevailing in their respective neighbour 'People suffering under all the pangs and horrors of Starvation, and still, not satisfied from among his friends. The Progressists have - voted with M. PACHECO, their precursor ; and the new President of the Council, in the exposition of his programme, has not hesitated to declare that his foreign policy shall be exclusively national, which was loudly applauded, as a reaction against France. Mr. BuLwEa could not have said better, those being, in fact, the very words used by that Ambassador in a celebrated letter to M. SERRANO. Allons, all this is promising —we have received the dowry, but we shall pay the interest. Is it possible that one should be so roughly handled five months after so signal a victory ? Give us then back the blood of PHIJAP V." with a fair and Iv le profit, retained that abundance in their own hail which, if offered to public com petition, would rssa -e alleviated the general misery and preserved see lives of many who perished, the victims of theseion did spirits. They hoped to obtain famine prices ; hey heeded not the wretchedness of the million, tit; whole families should be swept away, that pe:i4ence occasioned by the want of a sufficiency of th e common necessaries of life, should prevail throughout the length and breadth of tee land, provided they could obtain an increwed price and still greater gains. Mammon took tp osession of their hearts, and they were blinded to (eery consideration save that of pelf. But happily they have reckoned without their host ; a counteracting isfluence was in operation ; free trade had been establisle d, our ports were no longer closed to the production .of other climes, monopoly had been banished from mr shores, and commercial enterprise, unshackled by mations restrictions or protective im posts, secured elate idant supplies of every description of food. No grater evidence could be required of the soundness of ti. e views and the correctness of the arguments of the Free-traders, or of the fallacies of the Protectionist: The principle has been subjected to a test of the ;neatest severity. A fearful crisis was to be surmount ed. All the ordinary calculations were displaced 11 the extent of the calamity. An insufficient and cstnty supply under the recent cir cumstances of the country could not be considered as fatal, or even injurious, to the doctrines of free trade; indeed it would le hard to conceive any state of the law by which the difficulties occasioned by the mys terious visitation )1 ' PROVIDENCE, in the destruction of the chief part d* the nation's food, could have been averted. But th happy result is conclusive as to their soundness Ind efficiency. What would have been the state of be country had Sir ROBERT PEEL postponed his great experiment for even a single session ? We shed der at the contemplation of the harrowing details asset must inevitably have occurred. No stronger confirmation could have been afforded of the soundness of the Ministerial policy in leaving the supplies of thee country to be provided from the legitimate sources. Had the British Government en tered the markets of the corn•exporting countries as extensive purchasers, the immediate effect would have been an, enormous increase in the prices of rrovi sions of every description, the cessation of tll private enterprise, the banishing all those who would not venture to encounter so power ful a competitima.. Had the Government once at tempted the task, or hesitated in giving the required pledge, they could not have halted or held back. They should have undertaken the supply, not only of Ire land, but of Great Britain, and we should have seen a famine prevailing throughout the entire land. The scenes of Skibbereen would have been re-enacted on English ground ; the artizsns and. labourers, even of this great metro polis, would have seen their helpless children pining from the inadequacy of their load, and piteously demanding the abundance to which they had been accustomed. rust such scenes have not taken place we owe to the firmness of the Premier and his colleagues ; their strict ac'therence to the sound principles of political economy has saved their country from this accumulated misery. For this they have been reviled and insulted; reproach and obloquy have been heaped upon them for conduct that should have secured, and most undoubtedly will eventually secure, the national gratitude. The Journal des Debats affects to treat the change with indifference. It says— " The choice of the new councillors chosen by Queen Isabel is not calculated to inspire the least uneasiness. Most of the members of the new Cabinet are men who have given pledges to the monarchical and constitutional cause, and who held a more or less conspicuous station in the ranks of the Moderate party. As respects us, however reluctant we may feel to mix up the interests of France with those of Spain, we never practised a system of exclusion, and do not consider ourselves bound to support any political party in particular. In her present situation, France, as well as Spain, is specially interested; first., in the maintenance of a good harmony amongst the great bodies of the State; and, secondly, in the political preponderance remaining in the hands of the Moderadoes. We anxiously desire that a perfect ac cord should exist between the Throne and the Chambers, because it is the basis, the essential condition of the representative Government. We desire it, particularly at this moment, when Spain has scarcely emerged from an agitation inseparable from the election of a new Le gislature, and when, if she be sufficiently strong to bear the action of free institutions, she may not be as well prepared to bear their abuses. However extraordinary the change of a Ministry may appear, immediately after a vote of the Chambers giving it an unequivocal proof of their confidence, nevertheless, as notwithstanding the change of persons, it is not likely that any important change will ensue in the political system, as most of the present Ministers have been chosen amongst the party which has hitherto directed public affairs, we confidently trust that a good understanding will continue to subsist among the great powers of the State. If we consider as a paramount inter est for Spain and France the preponderance of the party called: Moderate, it is because we are persuaded that it is the most capable to direct the Spanish Govern ment in a regular and pacific course, and that it is alone likely to insure to the country a few years' repose, which a mischievous spirit of intrigue is constantly endeavour ing to disturb. We do not mean to say that one party should remain for ever in possession of the Government. This can no more be expected in Spain than in England or France. The Progressista party may have its day ; its turn will certainly arrive ; but we do not regard this as an opportune moment for its accession to power. In the present situation of Spain the Moderate party, taken generally, offer all the elements necessary to achieve a legitimate and rational progress. The programme of M. Pacheco is a proof of it. Nothing would authorise us to doubt the sincerity of the assurances of the new Minis ters, and we should only see the necessity of reminding them of their promises if they were to forget them." The Prcsse also affects resignation under its afflic tions, but the acts of the inspirers of these two journals betray their alarm. CHRISTINA was closeted three times on Sunday with Louts PHILIPPE, and after each conference M. GUIZOT was sent fur. The accounts from the corn markets in France are for the most part more favourable, prices being gene rally lower. Count ROY, Peer of France and Minister of Fi nance under the restoration, died on Saturday night. M. ROY was the largest landed proprietor in France. It is said he leaves a fortune of 2,000,000 f.

The object, however, has failed, as the rates are not higher at this moment than they were many months since, when their pro duction would have been most valuable. It is impos sible to speak of this conduct in language sufficiently strong to expose its atrocity. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday . was firm at Friday's rates. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including 3,000 bales of American at Sid. to lid. per lb. Shares WE re steady. The returns of the receipts of the quarterly revenue, which were made public this morning, bave given a con siderable degree of satisfaction in all circles here. That trade has increased was pretty well an ascertained fact before the official receipts of the Customs and Excise were known. Indeed, the ports of London and of Liver pool have, for the principal portioa of the quarter which has just ended, been in a most active state. The deliveries of goods of all sorts have been large, and almost exclusively for instant consumption—cotton and corn excepted—not on speculation. Nothing further has transpired relative to the re ported loss of the West India mail steam-packet Tweed. It is considered certain, that should the intelligence un mot uarc-ue., as rttb - eretina ucch Staittl. Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived. One of the appointments in the new Cabinet, that of Senor PASTOR DIAZ to the Ministry of Commerce and Public Instruction, is very significant. lie is the author of an exceedingly clever pamphlet against the Montpensier marriage. naa accepted the office of Minister of Justice. In his opening speech to the Cortes, a sketch of which we gave yesterday, and a full re port of which is published in the Madrid Gazette of the 30th, Senor PACHECO, speak ing in the name of the Ministry, said that " With regard to foreign affairs, their policy would be to live in harmony with all nations, but not to form with any that kind of close intimacy which could only take place at the expense of Spain herself. They had taken office at the moment when Spain had contracted alliances, all of which should be equally respected, without predilection in favour of one more than another. At home they would be guided by the laws, the spirit of which they would seek to follow, and so rigorously, that should there exist any doubt as to the true meaning of any laws, they would adhere to the letter of them, and then come before Parliament for its ratification of their conduct. They meant to propose a law in favour of the press, submitting it to a tribunal indepe . ndent of the nomination of the Sovereign, and acting upon the true principles of jurisprudence. He accepted the vote of the Chamber, withdrawing authority to regulate the budget and pub lic debt, for the reason that, on principle he should al ways treat such authorisations as limited to the session." It was generally believed in Madrid that PACUECO could command such a majority in the - Cortes as to render a dissolution unnecessary. General PuLGroso, the brother of the V uke of RIANZARES, has been dismissed from his command of New Castile and Madrid, and General CORDOVA has been appointed in his room. It is said that PEzuELA will also be dis missed, and be succeeded by JOSE DE LA CONCHA. Senor PACHECO has announced a new act of amnesty. MADRID BOLSA, MAncu 30.—The Three per Cents. closed at 32/ for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 2 ; the Debt without interest, at 5! ; and the Coupons, at 17. Much solicitude is still felt in the City relative to the influence that may be produced on the Money Market by the recent resolve on the part of the directors of the Bank of England, in restricting the movements of the discount firms of the City. In consequence, the result of the next weekly meeting of the court on Thursday is looked for with anxiety. The Funds opened well this morning on account of the revenue, but have gone back since.

But we have been deceived, not only as to the duration of this mighty work, but also as to its results. Nothing was to be changed in Europe. On the contrary, we find everything changed— alliances and antipathies. It is in Spain alone that nothing is changed. The marriage has not modified either the ideas, the customs, or the manners of the country. It is still the land of complaisant Cortes, of ephemeral Cabinets, of Court influence, and of palace revolu tions." In another part of the same article the Con stitutional asks whether the journey of CHRISTINA to Paris is one of pleasure or of necessity, and:whether the return of M. BRESSO N to Madrid is impossible or is ardently desired. It thus concludes :—" We do not see in the recent transactions in Spain anything like a triumph for any party. There can be neither conquerors nor conquered where everything changes so rapidly and without serious cause—it is ridiculous to sing a song of triumph for ' the success of an influence which is so easily obtained ; it would be madness to make it a basis of any system of policy." The National is less grave, but more annoying:. It says—" N o 'sooner ~had th e ne w Ministers entered . upon office tha n th ey b oldly faced t h ose same Cortes who a we e k b e f ore h ad gi%en such signal proof of confidence i n th e i r predecessors !—so 't u rns the wheel sf fortun e !

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.` ) OLD COURT. STEALING I BOOK OF COSTS. A respectably dressed man, John Connolly, aged 38 described in the calendar as a law-writer, was indicted for stealing, on the 20th of March last, a copy of' " Richard's Book of Costs," valued at 10s., from the shop of Mr. Wilily, a law bookseller carrying on business at No. 90, Chancery-lane. Mr. Payne di feuded the prisoner. No one appeared for the proeention. Mr. W. A. Reeves, assistant to Mr. Lumley, a law bookseller in Chancery-lane, deposed to the prisoner offering a copy of Richard's Book of Costs for sale, on the 23d of March. He did not, however, purchase it. Mr. Chat les 'Wilily, son of the prosecutor, stated that he had been in the habit of placing the book with others for sale on a board, for two months previous to the day he missed it, namely, on the 20th. He had seen it the day before. There was a mark of Us. upon it, but it had been rubbed out. The edges had been tut ned down in pieces, and he was positive the book was the one which had been missed. City police-constable 354 proved taking the prisoner into custody, at a shop in Chancery-lane. He inquired what he had done with the book he had offered for sale, in the morning? To which he replied that he had sold it in the street to a clerk whom he knew, for 3s. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character; one (a female) swore that he had even the book in his possession for four or five months before the time in question. Mr. PAYNE contended that nothing had been adduced to show that the prisoner was guilty of the offence im puted to him. Besides, there was nothing in the book to indicate that it belonged to the prosecutrix. There were hundreds of copies of the book, and it was but right to assume that the prisoner, who was a respectable man, and had occasion in his business for such a book, might have one in his possession, as had been proved. The jury at once Acquitted the prisoner. GLASS STEALING.—An intelligent-looking youth, named James Moore Neale, aged 17, described as an engraver, was indicted for stealing, in February last, twelve drinking glasses, value 61., the property of his master, Nicolas Conne. The prisoner was apprenticed to the prosecutor, and had had his wages increased about the time from Bs. to 10s. a week. He absented himself from his employment tor a week in the course of that month, on the score of illness; and it was during that time that the glasses were found to have been pledged by the lad at Mr. Young's, a pawnbroker, in Princes-street, Leicester square for 11s. 6d. It appeared that he had to contri 'wire were - nltTea thetfe - s - s. Once'h asked his 'employer for the loan of sixpence to buy some bread, as they had not a morsel in the house. When given into custody, he at once told the policeman where he would find the duplicates. He said his father and mother were in great distress, that they had no bread, and that he took the things in order to obtain some for them. He said it was his intention to redeem them as soon as he could. The RECORDER left the case in the hands of the jury, and remarked that the amount which the boy obtained from the pawnbroker's was about equal to a week's wages, and that he was absent at the time. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy. [lt appeared .the prisoner bad been charged with stealing seine spoons, but it was not sustained.] The RECORDER sentenced him to three months' im prisonment, with hard labour, in the Westminster House of Correction. STEALING A. WATCH.—Richard Williams, aged 20, a printer, was indicted for stealing a watch, value 71., on the 22d of March last, in King William-street, from the person of Mr. P. D. Goepel, a clerk in the Alliance Insurance-office. On that day a crowd had been attracted in consequence of the falling of a horse. The prosecutor stopped to ascertain what had happened, and whilst looking on, the prisoner pressed against him, and he felt his band at his waistcoat-pocket. He instantly found that his watch was gone, and, on turning round, he perceived the prisoner hand something to a man near him, and exclaim " Here it is." The man dashed through the crowd, but he caught hold of the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The watch was not found upon him. City police-constable 569 took the prisoner into custody. He declared that he knew nothing of the robbery. The watch was wrenched from the chain with so much force as to break the ring of the watch. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. A former conviction -of felony, in 1844, was proved against the prisoner. He had also been committed for three months from the Clerkenwell sessions. The RECORDER sentenced him to ten years' transpor • tation. • NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGENT and Mr. Alderman FARM:MOTHER.) The Court was occupied the whole morning with the trial of Mint cases, none of which possessed any feature worthy of particular notice. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The April quarter sessions for the county of Middle sex, commenced this morning before the Assistant- . Judge, and a full bench of magistrates, at the Court house, Clerkenwell-green. The number of prisoners for trial was 98, of whom 17 were indicted for misdemeanour, the remainder being charged with felony. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them upon the fact that, at no session for the last ten years did the number of juvenile offenders bear a smaller przportion to the aggregate number of prisoners in the calendar. James Gwyne, John Grady, and Joseph Colman, who were found guilty at the last sessions of felony, and judgment respited to this day, in order that inquiries as to previous character might be made, were, brought up for judgment, when Uwyne was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, Grady to six months, the last six weeks to be solitary, and Colman to six months, each term to be accompanied by hard labour. James Crankshaw was indicted for stealing a gilt frame and table stand, the property of Messrs. Jackson and Co., carvers a►nd Odors, of Eathbone-place, Oxford street. _ _ LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

Captain Torn, Smalleyrrbiladelphia. 51d, Mountaineer, Halifax, It apeared from the evidence in support of the prosecu tion, that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutors until about two months ago, and on the day named in the indictment, the prisoner was observed by one of the workmen to leave the premises with the property in his possession. Information having been given to the foreman, the prisoner was followed, and overtaken near Regent-street, when he said that he was taking the stand and frame to the house of Sir James Graham, in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, for Lady Gra ham's inspection, as he understood she wished to pur chase them. The foreman stated that the prisoner had no authority from the prosecutors to take away any articles ; and that he was forbidden even to enter the manufactory. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty ; and the pri soner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. The prisoner's sister here addressed the Court, and said, that since last Christmas her brother had shown symptoms of mental alienation:and, __ • _ Tile Learned ASSISTANT- J ULGE gave directions to the officers of Tothill Fields-prison to have him subjected to medical examination, when, if the sister's statement were found to be true he would be properly disposed of. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Sare, a boot and shoemaker, of No. 2, Whit more-street, Whitmore-road, lloxton Old Town, was charged with wilfully setting fire to the house in which he resided. Winford Holdham, a lodger in the above house, de posed that about twelve last night the prisoner had got a few friends with him. Witness was one o f the com pany; - he, however, left, as there was manifestly a dispo sition to quarrel. He had not long been in bed, and was dozing, when he ins %rowed by the FALMOUTH, APRIL s.—Wind N.N.W. Arrd.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The Admiralty have it in contemplation to erect a barrack at Gosport for this die vision of the Royal Marines, their present quarters in this citadel being too circumscribed for their rapidly in creasing numbers, as well as being very old and ill adapted for the requirements of this important and highly serviceable body. If these barracks are erected at Gosport, Por outh will lose at h ast, it is computed, 25,0e1. per an, Their Lordships are not anxious to take this great amount of benefit away from the trade of Portsmouth, and would prefer building the new quar ters within the walls of the garrison, but the corporate authorities, we are informed, are averse to meeting the Admiralty props rly in the matter, their Lordships want ing the site of the borough gaol for the marines' neW quarters, which there is a reluctance to give up, albeit for a handsome "consideration," although there are other sites within the walls of the town which would be much more suitable for the position ,of the sessions' - house than its present situation. If the corporation do not, meet the Admiralty in this matter, the borough will assuredly sustain the loss above mentioned, and at the same time, it is considered, lose the finest opportunity they ever had of materially improving the most iifl portant entrance to the garrison from the land side. 4 11 The Sidon steam frigate, Captain Henderson, C.l l, completed coaling and storing at noon to-day, and would then have gone out, but a merchantman having fouled her whilst lying alongside of the jetty, whereby she (the merchantman) lost her fore yard, delayed her some time. She went out to Spithead at half-past one o'cloclss and excited considerable interest among a large con course of spectators. She lay-to at Spithead to await the arrival of an express messenger from the Foreign" office with important dispatches for the British Minister at L'-hon. The Admiralty have also sent out dispatches for Vice Admiral Sir William Felker, the Commander ' in-Chief in the Tagus, whose fleet will speedily be rein' fereed with more ships. The Myrtle steam tender, Se' cond Master Commaiiding Baiiiston, took out the Go' vernment messenger to Spithead, with the dispachess and immediately afterwards the Sidon weighed, and left fur Lisbon. In reporting the Admiralty's trial of this real man-of war steamer on Saturday, we stated that the davits sP: plied to her paddlebox boats, and which exhibited such instantaneous facilities for launching those boats over the side, were made upon a plan the invention of Mr. Barr, Inspector of Shipwrights at Woolwich D o ckyard . We are now requested to state that the davits for th e Sidon's boats are the invention of Captain Geo. Smiths R.N., the inventor of the paddlebox boats; but who did not patent or secure the plan, because of the expens e attending their fitting, which is three times as much 0 his present plan of fitting davits, and causes twice th e weight of material to be used. The wind having come round to the westward, and blowing fresh, Mr. Bellirey was compelled to return from Brook to-day with the Myrtle steamer and Dik e lighter, without being enabled to accomplish the Ac e ' in view of raising the guns, &c., of the Sphynx. al Commander Wm. Ellis, RN., late Master of the RoY yacht Victoria and Albert, is appointed G-overnmeek Emigration Agent at Waterford, and left this e vent" for his post. Captain Ellis is an old war officer, 10 : was promoted to his present rank last year, with many other of the same class, for his long and faithful set, vices, having been actively employed since the Yee', 1800, and since the year 1809 as master. In Allen f New Navy List, Captain Ellis is recorded " as Mas ter ?, the Havock, and frequently employed in her We'd against the Danish flotilla in the Cattegat, in 1808; se d of the Castillian at the attack of the French flotilla, a° capture of the Ville de Lyons praam off Boulogne in 1811, and the recapture of the Apelles sloop-of-war ° Etaples; also at the capture of a French lugger priT° . teer, of 10 guns and 57 men, off Dieppe.

Lord Fitzelarence remains at the Georg° Hotel, where all the business of his command is at resent transacted, and will continue to be until On overnment House has been surveyed and repaired, i ` found worth the expense ; if not, a new official mansio n will be erected, it is supposed on its original site, th e Grand Parade.

Any Person bound, breaking down or removeing, any Rails or Posts from the Fence° of this estate, shall upon conviction receive the ahoy° reward." We omit the name of the solicitor to whets application is to be made for the reward, lest he s hould be pestered with a crowd of applicaws, willing, for tb° sake of the a offered, to break down as many fences 0 might be thought desirable, and to find witnesses to con vict them of the offence.
