I Evening .. 13 minutes elle, G. take into consideration, as upon its judicious re arrangement depends the commercial prosperity, we had almost said the commercial existence, of the nation. Ireland, again, and religious disabilities, are subjects demanding the most rigid and consistent scrutiny. The catechism of the hustings must be conducted upon a plan altogether dissimilar from that heretofore prevalent. Party, be it observed for the hundredth time, is shattered to atoms ; the old vocabulary of political distinctions has become obsoleta. Candidates must be judged not so much by the names of political classification as by their independent views upon the different questions of legislation. Of the peculiar views entertained by such tried men as Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Sir B. HALL no doubt whatever can exist, and consequently the choice of the Liberal electors of Marylebone is obvious. After a lengthened discussion the House of Com mons last night decided upon going into Committee on the Health of Towns' Bill, the Government being supported by the commanding majority of 141. Prom the interest we have so long taken in promoting the question of sanatory reform, we rejoice at the in fluential decision to which the representatives of the people have at length come upon this important sub ject. The excellence of the object sought to be at tained by Lord MORPETH'S measure is beyond the pale of controversy. All the objections presented in yesterday's debate for not proceeding with the Bill, were, therefore, necessarily directed against its ma chinery. The motive for its introduction was un impeachable. The objections, however, that were taken—though from their nature, if entitled to any weight at all, the proper time for raising them would have been in Committee—broke down one after an other under the salient replies and explanations that were mutually given by Lord J. RUSSELL and Lord Moaprrn. Centralisation, patronage, and the omission of the city of London from its provisions, constituted the main points of resistance offered to the progress of the measure. With respect to the first, if it were valid as an argument, then should many public institutions, at present in beneficial operation for the community at large, be forthwith remodelled. We recollect that similar strictures were made in Parliament when the present police force was first proposed to be constituted. It was then said, as now, " leave the people to manage their own affairs;" but it was then rejoined, as it was last night observed, by the Premier, that experience showed that local bodies could not be entirely trusted for adopting re gulations for the efficient protection of life and pro perty; and then, in accordance with what is now in- tended in regard to sanatory reform, the city of London obtained a separate Act for the management of its own police. But does any man throughout the empire desire the repeal of the Police Act on account of the principle of centralisation on which it is based ? We venture to say, not one. It answers admirably all the purposes for which it was passed, which, it is obvious (or, at any rate, experience imparts the greatest strength to, the presumption) it never would have done, in the absence of the controlling powers incorporated in the Act. With respect to the objection of patronage created under Lord MORPETR'S Bill, it is clear that, if its object be worthy of being compassed by enactment, certain public officers must be appointed. When any general measure of reform is needful to the public welfare, it is inevitably incidental to the same, that its execution must be intrusted to persons specially nominated by the Government, by virtue of the authority of the Legislature, conferred pro re nata% The only consideration, then, for the House of Com mons, as effecting Lord MoßrETn's,Bill, in, reference to patronage, is, whether it is proposed to carry it to an extent beyond what is required for the efficient operation of the scheme. This has not been shown; and, inasmuch as the objection comes alone from Colonel SInTHOR?, who rejoices in blissful solitude, it may be presumed that the proposition of the Go vernment in this respect is beyond the reach of any reasonable exception. Lastly, as regards the eity of London and its omission from the Bill, the answer of Ministers is fraught with practical wisdom. They think, as every one must, that it would have been better to have had it included. But, first, the citizens of Lon don, a powerful body, are opposed to such an ar rangement ; next, the session is too far advanced for the Government to risk the success of a general mea sure of vital importance to the preservation of the public health, by fighting through twenty or thirty additional clauses, which it would be necessary to pass,!provided the city of London were not excluded. Fever and disease of various kinds are making fearful inroads in different parts of the empire. Mortality is already lamentably above the average, compared with what it would be were proper sanatory measures in vigorous operation. If Lord MORPETR'S Bill were passed to-morrow, a considerable period would elapse before the necessary plans and surveys could be completed ; so that any undue procrastination in passing it, come from what quarter it may, only aggravates the suffer ings of millions of our hard-working and poverty stricken population. Their health and strength are daily wasting beneath the blighting effects of their miserable, ill-ventilated, undrained, and noisome habitations. Well might the knowledge of the wretched lot of the masses of his impoverished country men induce Lord MoapEnr, in his pathetic speech of last night, " to mix actual entreaty with his appeal to the House of Commons to make immediate progress in the great work of sanatory reform." In Oriental tales we read of absolute potentates, who, not content with punishing in an exemplary manner the actual perpetrator of any heinous offence, were also accustomed to put his nearest relatives to death—to sell the more distant connexions to slavery, and to raze even the foundations of his house, so that no record should remain of the criminal. In the earlier ages, and in uncivilised countries, the same principle was generally adopted. The death of the guilty person alone was not considered a sufficient expiation unless his innocent family were involved in one common destruction. Every person was, therefore, not merely responsible for his own actions ; it was not sufficient that he should be a good and faithful subject, an honest and industrious citizen, well and efficiently discharging all the duties incidental to his social position, of approved integrity, and beyond the reach of reproach or calumny. All might be insuffi cient to shield him from the penalties of that law, which should have been his protection, but which was turned into an instrument of oppression and persecution, if he, unhappily, numbered amongst his kindred an evil-disposed or badly conducted person. As civili sation increased, and more just and equitable notions prevailed, the gross injustice of this system became manifest, the more obvious and direct punish ments were wholly removed. A child could not be imprisoned because his father had violated the law ; a woman could not be brought to the gallows because her husband had committed a mur der ; but, even to this day, in our own England —in the country which arrogates to itself a prominent position in the scale of nations—which prides itself on its stern and undeviating justice to all—a similar ini quity is indirectly sanctioned, and the crimes of the fathers are indeed visited on their helpless and in offensive children, or on the almost heart-brokers widows, who have never been even suspected of a participation in their husband's misdeeds. We are accustomed to boast of the excellence and purity of our laws and constitution, and it is only when some monstrous case is brought prominently forward, and laid bare before the public in all its enormity, that we perceive how urgently reform and revision is re quired, and how harsh and oppressive may be the operation of the law. Among the relics of barbarism still suffered to exist, and to inflict an indelible stain on our juris prudence, is the law relating to escheats and forfei tures. Practically they are seldom enforced, the Crown generally waiving its rights and restoring to the parties entitled (subject, however, to a heavy deduction for legal expenditure) the property which had belonged to an attainted person. This, however, is a matter of favour and not of right, an indulgence which need not be conceded, and which is frequently delayed, although not often absolutely denied. Why, then, should the law be retained in its present objectionable state, more particularly when it is so seldom enforced? Why should the feelings of the surviving friends be again harrowed, thei r woun d s re - opene d , an d th e public mind again disturbed by a renewal of pro.. I ;0 4 \ , 41.

Summonses were issued yesterday from the Fo reign Office to the Ministers, to attend a Cabinet Council this afternoon. The whole of the members of the Cabinet are expected to attend at the Foreign Office, Downing-street. Sir CHARLES NAPIER has announced his determi nation to come forward again at the ensuing election, as a candidate for the representation of Marylebone. We congratulate the constituents of this metropolitan borough upon the certainty of not losing a Parlia mentary advocate so assiduous and so earnest as the Gallant Admiral, the hero of Acre. Delay is about the most inexcusable blunder in any constituency, when there are so many probabilities of a speedy dissolution of Parliament. Preparation should be made for the electioneering contests which are inevitable thereupon at the first dim intimation of an appeal to the country. And let it be remembered that the earlier the preparation the less expense will be entailed upon the constituency, and the greater security there will be that their political views will be forwarded with intelligent discrimination in the deli berations of the Senate at Westminster. Any individual possessed of the prerogative of the elective franchise, who procrastinates his selection of the candidates until the last moment, is culpable, not only as to his personal rights, but as to the whole collective rights of the commu nity. In leaving his vote upon the balance, as it were, during the preliminary period when a calm and dis passionate choice can be made, and allowing it in the end to be joltered over to either side in the turmoils of the final day of the political battle, the elector evinces a greater amount of recklessness than the gambler who stakes a plum upon the possible stop ping -spot of the roulette ball. For seven years he renders himself incompetent to influence the move ments of the Government ; for seven years he abandons the most important problems of con temporary legislation to the caprice of a carelessly selected Member. Let it be remembered that, sup posing the new Parliament were assembled in the en suing August, the decision of the people might not be revoked until August 1854 ! The responsibility, therefore, that presses forcibly upon every consti tuent in the United Kingdom is grave beyond exaggeration. The bounden duty of every consti tuent is already to be on the alert, especially at this particular crisis, when so many vital and interesting points of administration are on the eve of a perma nent settlement. None of these points should be overlooked or forgotten. Foremost amongst them all, as affording a rational founda tion for effecting a comprehensive ameliora tion of the condition :of the :multitude, is un questionably the subject of sanatory improvement. Next in the order of social advancement is the orga nization of a proper and universally-applicable sys tem of national education. Upon the principle that " Cleanliness is next to godliness" we give the priority to the f ormer means of elevating the poorer classes from the aby sses of moral and physical degradation ; for h av i ng b p y ur e i ufi purified their drainage,eirtenemenbts by wholesome ventilation, plies of w a t er , b y a reasonable light,admisysionadoefgu ate s a u npd the general establishment of baths and wash houses, and capacious parks, the Stat e w ill have opened, as it were , groove s and chan nels for the conduct of knowledge among the masses. These things must by no means sae apenrsthnef recollection of the thousands who are possess the elective franchise, nor must it be forgotten that the whole criminal code of the empire requi res in an especial way the revising wisdom of the most com petent legislators. The currency , again, is a matt er which the constituencies of England must especially !VEN'ING, JUNE i 9 ia47, ceedings in a case in which the offender had already l suffered the extreme penalty of the law, and had sur [ rendered his forfeit life in expiation of his offence ? We have been led to these remarks in consequence of the proceedings which took place on Thursday, at Hertford, under a commission of escheat, in relation to the property of the late JOHN TAWELL, who was executed in the month of March, 1845, at Aylesbury, for the murder of SARAH HART. The Senior Commissioner explained the law to the jury, "that a felon's heritable blood was de stroyed, and that his lands and tenements at once de scended to the Crown, from the day of the commis sion of the offence, and his goods and chattels from the day of his conviction." According to this prin ciple, we find that if his guilt was for some time con cealed, and that he subsequently, and before it was discovered, disposed of real estate to a bona fide purchaser for full and valuable consideration, that still it would become the property of the Crown, and that innocent purchaser would lose the property he had fairly acquired, and the money he had paid for it. This would indeed be the innocent suffering for the guilty. It is no answer to say that such a claim would never be enforced on the part of the Crown ; why should there be the possibi lity of committing so grievous an injustice under the sanction and colour of law? Again his heritable blood is destroyed, his children would be unable to de- rive title, through their guilty father, to property which might otherwise descend to them from a more distant relation. Surely this is a most inequitable provision, their rights as citizens are taken away ; they are not merely deprived of their father's pro perty, which they ought to obtain, but they are prevented from inheriti ng f rom others, i n fact they are practically rendered illegitimate- We trust that amongst the many legal reforms that are about to be brought forward, a total abolition of this law may be one of the earliest. In the present case, the harshness of the pro ceeding seems to have been greatly aggravated by compelling the widow, a lady, who had ever maintained the most irreproachable character, to come forward as a witness, in fact, to give evidence against her own rights and interest. The deepest sympathy was manifested on every side for the unfortunate lady, who appeared greatly affected at her painful position. The total value of the property forfeited, under the present proceeding, would appear to be about 8,000/. We trust that the just claims of the widow, and also of the children of the wretched malefactor, may be admitted by the Government, and the forfeiture remitted in their favour. By so doing they will merit and receive the public approbation. Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The Gageta publishes an official announcement of the abandonment of Viana, Isua Munzon, and Puenta de Leina, by the forces of the Junta of Oporto, and of their occupation by Spanish troops. In the same number we find a royal decree conferring the title of Duke of SARAGOSSA on Don JOSE DE PALAFOX, Captain-General of the Spanish army, and his heirs. The Clamor Publico states that Senor SALAMANCA has determined to offer for sale those properties be longing to Don CARLOS, and those belonging to the order of St. John of Jerusalem, which have been con fiscated to the service of the State. The Correo (SALAMANCA'S organ) declares that the Government has never entertained any intention to permit the free importation of English cotton goods. The Faro states that the QUEEN'S visit to La Granja is indefinitely postponed. There were rumours in Madrid of an intended modification of the Cabinet. It was said SALAMANCA, MAZZAREDO, and BENA.VIDES would retire. . The Three per Cents. closed on the 12th inst. at 304 for cash; the Four per Cents. at 18; the Five per Cents, at 18; the Passives at si; and Coupons at 15. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The motion of DEMESMAY for a reduction of the duty on salt, was carried on Wednesday in the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 250; the num bers being—For the motion, 264 ; against it, 14. On this subject the Constilutionnel says— " The Ministry experienced on Wednesday one of the most remarkable Parliamentary defeats that a Govern ment, ever sustained. It was in vain that M. Dumon, the Minister of Finance, and M. Duchatel, Minister, of the Interior, successively rose to combat the proposition for the reduction of the salt duty. It was in vain that they endeavoured to obtain the adjournment of the question by promising to introduce a measure on the subject next year. The proposition was adopted by a majority so compact that the Ministers themselves dared not rise in their places against it. The ballot showed a minority of only 14 votes against 264. , The new Minister of Finance occupied the tribune for nearly an hour. His arguments were directed to prove that the increased consumption of salt would not compensate for the diminution of the revenue, and he promised to make further calculations, and, as we have already said, to present a Bill on the subject next year. M. Dupin, in an animated extempore address, did full justice to the arguments of the Minister of Finance, and asked who it was who had brought our finances into the posi tion in which we find them? M. Duchatel did not wish to leave the Chamber under the impression produced by M. Dupin's animated attack. He endeavoured to jus tify the financial management of the Ministry, and drew a brilliant picture of the advantages to be derived from the execution of public works. In what way do Ministers propose now to act? No doubt they propose to bury the measure in the Chambers of Peers. There is, however, a promise made, and a Chamber which will demand its performance. But how can they give satisfaction to public opinion in presence of a deficiency of 30,000,000 f. evident in the budget for the year 1848 ?" The Presse, too, raises its "song of triumph" over M. GUIZOT, and asserts, that after such a vote a British Cabinet would have resigned immediately. That the Cabinet of M. GUIZOT entertains no such intention is, however, evident from the following Ministerial manifesto, which appears in the Journal des Debuts : " The Chamber of Deputies have adopted, by a very great majority, the proposition for a reduction of the duty on salt. This result will surprise no one. We ex pected it, for our part, and the Government without doubt expected it also. Last year the Chamber, by a majority of 240 votes against 26, declared itself in favour of the adoption of the reform, contrary to the opinion of the Government, which did not believe circumstances to be opportune ; yet they were much more so than they are this year! The Government did not forget this remark able and solemn vote; there is nothing forced in the word. It knew that the greater part of the Deputies, that the greater part of the Conservative Deputies especially, had formal engagements with their constituents on this im portant question. It could, therefore, labour under no illusion! it could not hope that the Chamber, denying its previous conduct and its promises, would consent to the adjournment of the reform. Nevertheless it opposed the immediate adoption and advised the adjournment, which it knew to be impossible. Why ? It combatted, not for success, but for prineiple. It did not believe that it was permitted to it to associate itself with a resolution which circumstances rendered in its eyes imprudent, or at least premature. Its duty and that of the Chambers are dif ferent in this sort of affairs. The Chamber does not govern, as was well said by M. Dupin ; it does not bear the responsibility of its decisions, and has not the em barrassments of their consequences. If the reduction of the tax on salt makes a void of 50,000,000 f. in the Treasury, it is not the Chamber which must find means to replace it. If difficulties and embarrassment of affairs result therefrom, it will not have to submit to the one or remove the other ; it will wash its hands of it, and affairs must be carried on. In a word, the Chamber is only bound to see the questions it discusses ; the Government must embrace them all, study them one in relation to the other ; resist the se duction of such a one, in order not to excite compli cations in the conduct of several others which are not less important to the country. We understand,'then, perfectly well that th e G overnment did not think it right to cede to the same movement as the Chamber. At bottom, it knows that the reform is just, useful, necessary. It did not believe that it could, by consenting to its immediate adoption, give an example of imprudence which the financial circumstances in which we are placed causes it to regard as dangerous. In short, the Government has observed this year the same conduct as it did last year, and it had better reasons for doing so this time. It has been consistent, like the Chamber. The Opposition will not fail to find in this conduct of the Government the pretext for numerous and, without doubt, violent accu sations. Suppose that the Government, at the com mencement of the sitting, had come to declare, through the Minister of Finance:, that it accepted the proposition; it would have thereby acquired an immense popularity. The Opposition would have found itself reduced to the necessity of proclaiming that; the Ministry, as we be lieve at least, would not have been insensible to that glory; but it has preferred to fulfil the austere duty that circumstances, in its opinion, imposed on it. We do not find that ther e i s rea s on to blame it." The same journal announces that, on the 10th inst., the Queen of PORTUGAL published a proclamation granting a full and entire amnesty to the insurgents. The discussion on the report of the Committee appointed to consider the request of the Chamber of Peers to examine M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN at the bar of their House, was fixed for Thursday. The Union Monarchique says that the Committee on Petitions of the Chamber of Deputies has unani mously resolved to refer the petition of Prince JEgoatE BONAPARTE, praying for the abrogation of the laws which condemn his family to exile, to the President of the Council (Marshal SOIJLT) and to the Council of Ministers. The National has the following on the virtual re jection of the petition of the Prinee by the Chamber of Peers.:— " We cannot pass over in silence the discussion in the Chamber of Peers on the petition presented for Jerome Bonaparte. The petitioner had innumerable reckon ing on the sympathy of the Peers. If we were to name all the men in this Assembly who have taken an oath of eternal fidelity to the Emperor, and all who owe to him their titles, their fortunes, and even their fame. we should take in nearly the whole of the Members of the Chamber. It seemed then inevitable that the petition should be referred to the President of the Council of Ministers, and this was what some speakers, whose elo quent language revived glorious souvenirs proposed. But the Ministers entreated that the petition might not be referred to them ; and, after having crowned Prince Jerome with funereal eulogiums, they politely threw his petition into the dusty cartons, where it now lies interred. We can be but little suspected of sympa thy for kings, princes, or pretenders. But there are examples of ingratitude which we cannot allow to pass over without reflection. To whatever shade of opinion one belongs, astonishment must be felt that the companions in arms of Jerome—that the Generals who beheld him fighting with so much courage at Wa terloo—that the law officers, who had sworn fidelity to the Emperor, that the administrators who had served him, should not recommend this petition to the Ministry? Was not that a natural consequence of their past career, a duty to themselves, an act of gratitude to the memory of Napoleon? It remained for the Goverment to decide; but could the Peers dispense with expressing a wish that the sun of France should be restored to the Napoleon family? The most timid might be tranquil about the result: but the man of Ghent will not absolve the soldier of Waterloo. The strange language of some Peers is worthy of remark. M. Daunant, for instance, asked if the petitioner had first applied to the King—if he had sent in an act of submission. There is a legis lator for you! The abolition of a law is demanded, and a member of the legislative body exclaims—' If the King has .not been first applied to, I shall vote for the order of the day.' Another Peer does the same ; and a General, an old Carbonaro, is lost in his expressions of obsequious prostration Let us leave the matter,' said he to the King's heart. I care little about constitutional forms ; it is in the King's heart that I place my trust ; yes, gentlemen, let us let the King act ; and if prudence will permit the prayer of the petition to be granted, his heart will not hesitate.' But royalists of fresh date that you are, the matter in hand is to revoke an existing law. Is it a grace that the Napoleon family demands ? Do they kneel down before the junior branch of the Bourbons ? No—they demand to have a law abrogated. When a law presses heavily on any one, he does not demand favour from it ; he undergoes its effects, and demands its abrogation. Any other course would ❑ot be worthy of respect ; and if we have insisted on this petition, it is precisely be cause it has followed the direct line—because it has struck at the door of the established powers, having no other ambition, but to attract public attention. France is sufficiently powerful and sufficiently sure of herself to fear nothing from pretenders." The prospects of the harvest still continue to be most flattering, notwithstanding which, however, the holders of grain demanded an advanced price in the Paris corn market on Saturday, a demand with which the buyers refused to comply, and, conse quently, scarcely any business was transacted. Wheat of inferior quality could scarcely be disposed of at any price. A fall in the Three per Cents., and on the shares of some of the railroad companies, took place on the Paris Bourse on Thursday. This decline was generally as cribed to the vote of the Chamber of Deputies on the salt question; but while the Three per Cents. fell 10 centimes the Five per Cents. rose 15 centimes. Again, Marseilles and Avignon shares fell from 730 f. (the closing prices of Wednesday) to 7121-f. Northerns fell from 595 f. to 5861 f. Vierzon fell sf. The shares of the other companies drooped, but did not fall in such pro portion. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Thursday at 771. 50c.; the Five per Cents., at 117 f. 80c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,272 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 9661. 25c. ; Havre, 6501. ; Great Northern, 5861. 25c. ; Avignon, 7121. 50e..; Vierzon, 6121 50c.; Bordeaux, ,507. 50c.; Boulogne, 4111:. 25c.; Basle, 187 f. 50c.;; Pief)pe, 3151. ; Paris and Strasburg, 428 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 412 f. 50c.; Paris and Lyons, 4451. ; Lyons and Avignon, 450 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 4501. ; Spanish Passives, 4%.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert will join her Majesty this even ing, from Osborne, Isle of Wight. CRIMINAL COURT.—(TIIIS DAY). OLD COUR7'. (Before Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Baron ROLFE, and Mr. Justice PATTESON.) FORGERY.—A young man, named Horatio Nelson West, was charged with uttering forged railway scrip. Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecution. The facts are contained in the following evidence:— The handwriting of the prisoner being identified, Mr. Bodkin was sworn—Was a member of the Stock Exchange, and on the 22d of March last received a letter from the prisoner, who requested him to dispose of some scrip which he enclosed, and which purported to be scrip of the London and South-Western Railway Company. He received another letter on the 27th, in which the prisoner stated that, in consequence of his former letter not having been promptly answered, he had opened an account with another broker for the sale of a large num ber of shares, but that he enclosed twenty certificates of shares, which witness disposed of, and sent the proceeds, 95/., to the prisoner. He subsequently disposed of forty shares, and remitted 2701. to the prisoner. The prisoner dated his letter Moore.street, Birmingham, and signed himself Thomas Perry. He afterwards remitted the pri soner a sum of 1051. 10s., the proceeds of additional scrip which he had disposed of for him. George Brinke, Esq., clerk in the employment of Messrs. Sterne and Pitman, stock-brokers, proved having received 80 of the forged sc rip i n question from the preceding witness. Mr. Simpson, clerk in the employment of Messrs. Chalmers, stock-brokers, stated that he had received them from Mr. Grey. Mr. Alfred Morgan, treasurer of the London and South-Western Railway Company, stated that that com pany, in January last, issued 1,021 new shares, and the 80 shares now produced were forgeries. There was a decided difference between the watermark on the coun terfeit and that on the genuine scrip. The mark on the spurious scrip was straight, and on that of the genuine scrip it was slightly turned at the top. This witness was cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the prisoner, but nothing was elicited to shake his direct testimony. Mr. Emms, of the Srm of Emms and Smith, printers to the London and South-Western Railway Company, stated that the forged scrip was not on the same paper as that used at his office. The watermark also was dif ferent. The word "proportionable" in the forged scrip was spelt incorrectly, the o being omitted. Mrs. Mary Ann Dingle proved that the prisoner lodged at her house in Birmingham at the date of the above transactions. He went under the name of Perry. She could not prove his handwriting. Mr. Francis Woral Stevens, of the firm of Stevens, Hansard, and Co., sharebrokers, proved to having sold 50 of the forged scrip, at the desire of the prisoner ; and that he remitted him a cheque for 2591., which the prisoner acknowledged. The prisoner called upon him subsequently, in reference to a mistake which had been made by the banker upon whom the cheque was drawn, who had over-paid 401. The notes had been tracel to the prisoner, who said his name was West. Henry Reichter, clerk to the preceding witness, de posed to having entered the scrip in question in a book at his office kept for that purpose. Mr. Fitzgerald, of the firm of Stevens, Hansard, and Co., stated that he took the scrip to the station at the Nine Elms, and was informed by one of the clerks there that they were genuine, and with that information he was quite satisfied. Mr. Charles Rogers, cashier to Messrs. Bruce and Co., proved having paid the 2591. f or the cheque for the scrip. (The evidence had not concluded when we went to press.) WORSH IP - STREET.—(THIS DAY.) William Brown was charged with stealing a copper boiler, the worm of a still, and the furnace thereof com plete, and 200 cwt. of treacle, said to be the property of Thomas Chubb, a currier, and George Hayward, a but cher, formerly a police-constable of the H division. Sergeant Coleman, of the II division of police, stated that when the prisoner was brought to the station-house, he (the sergeant) on the instant sent to the supervisor of Excise, who, however, sent back word that he did not think it worth his while to attend to the case, and the prosecutors had not thought proper to attend. The prisoner :said that he was merely an employee of the complainants, who had furnished him with the appa ratus, which he had by their direction fixed i❑ his own domicile, and which, with the 200 cwt. of treacle, also sent to him by them, was to be worked, and the latter manufactured into gin " his own account, he being answerable for all conse quences which might possibly arise therefrom. A dis agreement had taken place between himself and his em ployers, and he thought he could account for their ab sence from the court, by stating that he had told them that he would divulge to the magistrate a concern they had, which was in a most flourishing condition. Mr. Comm:, who set for Mr. Broughton, advised the defendant to give the necessary information to the Ex cise, and he would most probably obtain some pecuniary recompense, and added that as there were no prosecu tors he was discharged. The defendant thanked the magistrate and withdrew. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Liverpool Cotton market the sales this week have been 36,400 bales. The stock is 502,070 bales against 741,000 bales at this time last year. Yesterday 7,000 bales were purchased, of which 2,000 were for export.—The Share market was very quiet, and with but a small business doing. The Share Market was rather buoyant yesterday, and the demand has been active generally; at the sale of Railway Shares, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., more business was done. The following are a few of the principal sales : Leicester & Bedford, Exchange Certificate £0 10 0 Great Luxembourg Shropshire Union and Canal 2 4 0 Northern Counties Union 1 1 0 North •Western North British, Extension 0 16 0 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 4 14 0 London and Blackwell, No. 1 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 2 6 0 Louvain 51a Sambre 1 0 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston.— 1 6 0 Eastern Counties. 1 ork Extension 6 14 0 North Staffordshire Royston and Hitchin Taw Vale Extension and Dock .. There are no ship arrivals with later news, but we have plenty of vessels in, richly laden with food of all descriptions. The Bank of England return for the week, to the 12th instant, shows a general extension of operations, al though the active circulation of notes has been dimi nished a little. The main points are these :-- Notes issued £23,592,925 Increase Rest, increase Public deposits, increase Other deposits, increase Seven-day and other bills, increase 5,607 Other securities, increase Notes reserved, increase Bullion Increase The Government securities lodged in the banking de partment remained at the previous amount. In the Funds there is not much doing to-day, but prices are still advancing after the check received on Thursday, and with fine weather many expect they will go higher. Others contend that there are parties ready to realise profits to some extent, and that this, tempora rily at least, will lead to a re-action.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, r , COVENT GARDEN. —MORNING CONCER T ' A morning performance took place at this theatre on Friday, the great feature of which was the Stabai ltildttf of Rossini. This magnificent composition was splendi 3l Y given, notwithstanding the absence of Mario (and 0° living tenor has ever approached him in the execution of the tenor parts of Stabat Mater), who, although ad' vertised i for the part which he originally created ' I/ e aa v rn e i od n t ought d ut gbahyt very t o indisposit ion shortav en sung,fortoinme a, attending' nsda nbyis Salvi, n t w h d e , h r w i e c l a n n s re p i r l music execution of it added to his well-earned fame. . 1 "; introductory chorus, " Stabat M .iter dolorosa" was 'Yer ' i d well given by Mademoiselles Alboni and Corbari, a n Signori Lavin, and Tagliafico. The voices harmo nise, ' beautifully together. Then followed the "Cujus Aninoe'd which was beautifully sung by Salvi, and elicited !oio applause ; his diminuendo towards the conclusion uc i bv air was exceedingly fine. The duet " Quis est home , . Madame Ronconi and M a d emo i se ll e Alb on i, which nll/; mediately followed, was deliciously sung—the clear soprano notes of Madame Ronconi (who was in elt n . e al f lent voice, and who on thi s occas i on s howed worthy of her continental fame), blending with the deep, rich, clear contralto of Mademoiselle, Flrlo boni. Tamburini did full justice to the t he Peccatis" which immediately followed, and in e l. splendid chorus " Eia Mater" he was also es a n de „ lent. The quartet " Sancta Mater" by 31 -r via moiselles Alboni and Corbari and Signori and Tagliafico was well (indeed, when we n n ti r i hat Lavia had to sing at sight, we may sa)" , " t e hi s fully) given. The "Fac ut portem" then followed; di . was superbly given by Alboni ; her crescendos and Lt . un doue muendos were beautiful exceedingly, and this, edly, the gem of the morning's performance, was r ., 5 ,, P ; turously encored, as was the " Inllammatus et aceee„ s ";,:i delightful! by Madame Grisi, which immediately follows. was in this, as she is in everything, Fplendid—her 613'111,0 at the con c l us i on was magn ifi cent.

The gem of this act was Vet a o _ preghiera " Ciel Pietoso," which was beautifully sun! b Salvi, and rapturously encored, and Rossini's chore_ "La Carita," which was admirably given by Grisi and Ronconi, Mdlles. Alboni and Corbari, signori Salvi, Lavin, Tamburini, Ronconi, Bovere, aa? Tagliafico.
