The learned counsel, in opening the case upon the part of the prosecution, stated that the prisoner and the deceased hadbeen married for five years, but had latterly lived very unhappily together, and had repeated quarrels. Owing to the temper of the prisoner-altercations continued, and finally they separated on the 28th of September lad, the de ceased taking with her the youngest of their three children, an infant in arms, and going to lodge at the house of a Mrs, Cunningham in Bolton. It appeared that though the deceased lived at Cun ningham's, she went daily to take her meals at her mother's house • and about 7 o'clock on the even ing of the Ist dOctober, while at supper with her mother, the prisoner came in and asked his wife to go home with him, but she, positively refused, and he went away. In a few minutes he returned and met deceased and her mother, coming out, and again he inquired if his wife world go home with him, and asked where they were going. At last the deceased acceded to his entreatie', and con sented to accompany him, the deceased at that time having her infant in her arms. Tha two had not proceeded far when fresh words took place be tween them, and the prisoner gave deceased a push, and immediately afterwards he was seen by a man name Thompson tout his left-hand on deceased's right shoulder and strike her with hiS'right The deceased exclaimed, " What are you about ?" and pushed away ti,e prisoner, who fell into the channel. They then parted, and the prisoner on recovering himself rushed after the deceased and struck her several times, and while she was in the act of falling he put his left 'hand round her neck, and with his right hand took from his side a large knife, vcith which he inflicted a frightful wound on her throat. A struggle ensued and both fell down; the prisoner then knelt upon his wife, and again proceeded to cut her throat. Upon this he was *eized by two men, who found the deceased bleed ing and lifeless, and, while endeavouring to get ' away from them, the prisoner succeed ed in Cuttin g his own throat and fell on his back. The knife Was found by his side covered with blood. These facts being clearly established, Mr. Fearnley addressed the jury for the prisoner, urging in his defence the plea of insanity. The Darned judge then went through the whole case very carefully, and The jury, after a short consultation, foUnd the prisoner guilty. His lordship, in passing sentence, said that, in his opinion, there was no ground whatever for the defence of insanity, and told the prisoner that he could hold out no hope whatever for him. Sentence of death was then passed in the usual solemn form. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGHAM, 'DEC. 8. (Before Mr. Justice Crompton.) James Wright, 39, farmer, was indicted for the wilful murder of Wiliam Holland, at Girton, on the sth Sept. last. Mr. Boden and Mr. Bristowe conducted the pro secution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. The circumstances of this remarkable case will•be be 't gathered from the following statements of the witnesses : Joseph Holland, son of the late William Holland, said his father lived at Girton. He was a carpenter. In September last he was 49 years old. On the sth of September last I went with him to a clover field between 7 and 8 o'clock. It was about half a mile from his house. The clover field was the prisoner's. We took a fork each. We crossed the Gains . - borough and Newark-road, and then went dlong a footpath, and over a stile into tie next • field. Then we left the footpath, and went into a wheat stubble, and then my father went into the prisoner's clover field. My father and the prisoner had a dispute about this clover field. My father went over a gap in the hedge. The clover had b cut, and some was lying near the gap. I heard somebody coming. It wss the pri soner. -He 'was coming over some rails into the wheat stubble from the field where we had left the footpath.. The...footpath led to North Searle, where the prisoner lived. lie had a gun with him. He c,me towards me as I was getting over the gap into the clover field. When he got up to the gap we were in the clover field. He sail, " Come out, come out !" My father said, "We shan't." He said that if we didn't come out I.e would blow our heads off. My father said that he might sroot, and also that he should take some clover, and then went further into the field. Flo .then began t gather some clover with a fork, and Wright acid, "D— you ; I'llbe near enough on you !" He ran to some rails, went over them, and to a gate between the clover field and an adjoining field. That gate was close to the clover which my father was raking up. The prison' r came up to that gate. He did not say anything. He put the gun to his shoulder and pointed it on my father. He only did it once then. But at the gap in the other field he had put it to his shoulder several times. My father was frightened, and came away from the clover towards the gate. That was the nearest way out of that field towards home. My father got up to the gate and came through ir. The prisoner drew back about five yards, and then said, " D-- it, I will shoot you !" and he shot him. He held the gun to his shoulder and pointed it to my father. It was pointed a little downwards. When he was shot my father said "0, Lord ! 0, Lord ! Jem, I did not think you would have done this." Prisoner said he had done what he meant to do. He said also that if he could not have the laws of the country he would have laws of his own. I then helped my father towards home. The prisoner followed us, and Hammond and Hind came up as we were going home. Whe he was following us the prisoner said more than once that he had done what he meant to do. I went to Collingham fr the nearest doctor while Hammond and. Hind assisted my father home.. I did not see my father point the fork at Wright. Charles Charlton, policeman, about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, September 6, apprehended the prisoner at his own house, and found there a double barrelled gun, one of the barrels of which had been recently discharged. The other barrel was loaded. When I took the gun down Wright said, "That's it." I took out the charge from the other barrel. It is about a usual char,v.e.. : William Webster, policeman, went with last witness, and told the prisoner he came to appre hend him on the charge of shooting Mr. Holland, of Girton. He answered " I certainly did it, but I did it in self-defence ; Holland ran at me with a fork." Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury for the prisoner, and, with a view to reduce the offence to that of manslaughter, commented upon the evidence that there was of a quarrel going on between the pri soner and the deceased up to the moment of the gun being fired, and suggested, as the most pro bable explanation of the transaction, that though the prisoner had used some threatening expressions, and wished to frighten the deceased from taking the clover, he had no roil intention of shooting at him until, as he supposed at least, the deceased was about to attack.him with the fork. The learned Judge having summed up the evi dence, the jury retired to consider their verdict, and after remaining in consultation a short time found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said, that the jury had taken a merciful view of the case, and one which he did not disapprove, though he should certainly not have felt dissatisfied . with a verdict of murder. Indeed, in this case, so far as moral guilt at all events was concerned, there was the very slightest lino of distinction between the prisoner's crime and that of murder ; and as ho would have been left for execution if ho bad been convicted of murder, so now the interests of justice required.that he should be sentenced to penal ser vitude for lite. YORK, DEC. 7. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) . MANSLAUGHTER ARISING FROM A RAILWAY COL LISION AT HULL. George Tolson, 25, was charged with the man slaughter of John Yates, at Hull, on the 24th of July last. The_ prisoner was an engine-driver in the service of the North - Eastern Railway Company, havin g occupied that situation for upwards of two years previous to the disaster. It was plainly shown on the trial that he had not obeyed a signal, and stopped his train, and that this was the cause of the collision to which Mr. Yates owed his d ea th. For the defence it was urged that the prisoner had conducted himself with regard to the signals in a way which was the habitual custom of the engine -drivers gen ergiy and though the accident bad happened, he could not be regarded as g ull y of such criminal negligence as would render him LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECENT ;13, 9, 1857. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. (From a Correspondent of the Nonconformist) The following letter has just been received from the Roy. J. Gregson, who, as our readers will remember, is acting as chaplain to General Have lock's forces at Oawnpore:—_ _ . " Cawnpere, Oct. 17. " Themutiny has by no means been suppressed, though its aspect has been considerably altered by the fate of Delhi. That place is now entirely in our hands ; but it was, at the last account, com pletely deserted by th e n a ti ves . G en . Wil scn h o ld s it with a considerable number of troops, and is, I believe, reducing to order the surrounding dis tricts. He despatched a large force of 3,000 men, in cluding two batteries of horse artillery, and 700 ca valry, as a pursuing column under Col. Greathcd. This force has retaken Allygurgh, inflicting se vere loss upon the rebel, and has just had a most decisive engagement at Agra with the Nee much, Indore, and Dholepore mwineers. These rebels, estimated at 7,000, with a large number of guns, some very heavy calibre, had for several weeks remained within a few marches of Agra, un decided what course to pursue. At last it was known they bad determined to march against Agra. Colonel Fraser, in command there, at once sent urgent requests' to Colonel Greathed to come by forced marches to his succour. The latter at once complied. His cavalry and artillery reached Agra on -the 9th, and the remainder of his forces, consisting of about 2,000 infantry, reached the Agra cantonments on the morning of the 10th, wearied, with a march of 30 or 40 miles within twenty-four hours. No one knew the enemy were so near, and the men bad just taken their breakfast, and were enjoying a little repose, when their composure was disturbed by the abrupt and unceremonious intrusion of a 24-pound shot, and almost before they could turn round a body of cavalry began to cut up a few of their outsiders. It was now the enetnn tuin to be surprised. He thought 1 e had only a few militiamen to deal with, who would fall an easy prey into his hands, and knew nothing of the a , rival of Greathed's force. Re soon sa A tis mistake ; our meo, though taken unawares, were quickly ready, and not five shots had been fired before our artillery responded. The enemy made only a brief resistance--=but he was hemmed in. Our troops formed, as it were, the base of an isosceles triangle, of which the other two sidt s were rivers. Towards these rivers the enemy was in evitably driven. Our horse artillery was too quick for their bullock-drawn guns, and our cavalry played sad havoc with their scattered and retreating columns. Gun after gun was captured, baggage was hastily abandoned, and the re,ult was a com plete and decisive victory, with the loss of only three or four killed, and a few wounded, on our side. All the guns of the enemy (13 in number), baggage, &c., 'were captured, and the whole force most completely destroyed or diSpersed. - This vic tory, it is hoped, will have a most salutary influence iu many quarters. " At the same time, there is no concealing that very much remains to be done. The country, for hundreas of miles, is swarming with rebels. Large bodies of revolted troops are roaming the country, plundering villagers, and extorting money from the wealthy. Multitudes, no doubt, aro loginniug to feel the hopelessness of their caurse, and are thoroughly sick of their unsettled, wandering life. And had our authorities been less liberal at first in their acts of conciliation, and less profuse in their offers of pardon to the rebels, when they had no power to punish, some concession, in' certain dis tricts, might now be made with g , od effect. The rebels know tolerably .well their strength ; and when we were powerh ss, all our concesions were laughed at with supreme contempt, and looked upon as an acknowledgment of our weakness. Now, in many districts, where the rebels feel themselves, thoroughly beaten, some ast of clemency might induce many of them t o lay down their arms, who will otherwise continue to fight against us from mere desperation. "Our force at Lucknow is as complef ely shut up as was the garrison before the arrival of Sir James Outran]. We have a good military position at the Alum Bagh, two miles on this side of the city, with which we have no difficulty in communicat ing. A force of '7OO men is there at present, with the baggage, a few guns, and a number of sick and wounded. But the city is still swarming with rebels ; and the communicath u betwixt Alumbath and Sir James Outram—who is on the other side of Lucknow— now can only be carried on by means of small, closely-written communications conveyed in the end of a quill, and swallowed, if needful, to escape detection. Still we have every reason to believe all is well w th Sir James Outram and his party. Two days ago, a list of the survivors of the original garrison arrived, and a most lengthy and chew log list it is. Very few of the officers have perished, and scarcely any of the non-combatants. The list has most agreeably surprised and delighted every one. Again native rumour hera speaks most favourably of Sir J. Outram's progress in the reduction of the city. It is generally credited that he was successful in takingajunge, ormarket, well stored with grain, and it is known they had plenty of beef before his arrival. This is a great matter, as at present it is impossible to send them supplies. But what is most. decisive is that Maun Singh, the leader of the rebels, is trying to negotiate. A va.kesl, or agent, came here with letters from him only this morning, and he is very anx:ous to come to terms of peace, provided his own interests are secured. He says he wants to treat with General Ou'ram, but cannot send any one to the entrenchment as his messengers are shot down immediately. Ho professes himself willing to give up the contest if his own interests are secured. He was told to withdraw his troops to a distance of five miles from Lucknow, and that then his message would be received. This I scarcely expect he will do. It is believe d the enemy is short of ammunition. They ca n obtain any quantity of saltpetre in Oude, but their sulphur is exhausted, and what little remains has been selling at most fabulous prices. Sir J. Outram has no intention of relinquishing Lucknow at present ; he could probably fight his way through the city back again, but it would be at great loss ; and as he can hold on he will wait till succours arrive. Very urgent entreaties had been sent for Colonel Great hed's column to come to his relief, but the neces sities of Agra rendered it impossible. Still, a column is very likely e to be despatched from that quarter. We are also securing daily reitiforcemen . s, and as the first instalment of the troops from Eng land arrived a week ago in Calcutta, we may ex pect soon to have a large force here to go to his relief. Oude is now looked upon as the scene of the decisive conflict, but I scarcely think it will be very protracted or severe. The great probability is that the mutineers will disperse over the country in small bands, and unsettle the land for years to come by their rapine and brigandage. " At Cawnpore we continue quiet - , though large bodies of men are known to be wandering about at a distance of not many miles. The country below us is becoming much disturbed. Renah, which adjoins the Mire spore district, has risen. The Rajah, who has throughout been a most steady friend to the British Government, and used his utmost effsrts to keep iu order his disaffected troops, has been obliged to flee, and his people have risen. Swarms of the Oude people are said to be making for Gazegunge, between Benares and Allababad, and others from the same place are threatening Azimgurgh and Jaunpore. The Doab and Rohilcund are still revelling in the unchecked freedom of their self -asserted liberty. i‘ We cannot help acknowledging the good hand of God in his protecting care over Europeans throughout this rebellion. In bow many cases does it seem as if he had poured confusion into the counsels of our enemies, restraining them from action when they could have injured us, and leaving them to a folly which invites their certain destruc tion. This was specially the case at Agra For weeks the rebels were inactive. The moment they acted we were ready for them. There are multi tudes of other instances not less striking. I think the worst is over. For years the country will be agitated, but I believe the British Government will rest upon a firmer and more equitable basis than ever. " P.S.—I forgot to say that most important documents have been found in tha palace, impli cating not only the King of Delhi and his family, but also very many of the allied states of our Indian empire. But no treasonable correspondence of a date anterior to the Meerut insurrection has come to light. The Meerut outbreak and the capture of Delhi by the rebels appear to have been a tempta tion to aspire at dominion which the King c f Delhi had not the prudence or the courage to wi.h- tend. " October 21st. " There appear to be exceedingly plain indica tions that no w th e g reat conflict must take pl ace i n Oude. L uc k now i s swarm i ng wi t h re b e l s, and in telligencegioafe ui,l kt large ss. of bodiesltt ee only nl rl auccirtious body s i o n ds g yh o uos v f t e s r f u 0 to gi i tt fugitives swell f sr the - Tanks is bein g continually conveyed to u s h ere o y e f a c d u ln y m e c u p o Delhi were making to cross the river into Oude, about 20 miles above us, and last Sunday an expe4 dition 600 stron g , under Col. Wilson, went to in tercept them. The expedition failed: The rebels swarmed the shore and had only two boats to cross in. Owing to the badness of the roads and the weaknees of the bullocks, the guns could not be broudit to bear •, but it was discovered that the rebels were only about three miles di , tant, and were in a p os iti on to render th em i n capable of offering any formidabl e resistance. colonel, who has se e n, I believe, upwards of fifty did not years' service,The venerable think it prudent to detach any of his troops to attack them, so they were al lowed quietly and at their leisure to join their brethren in arms before Lucknow. Other fugi tives in Lucknow and large bodies are continually crossing over in the same direction, and in couee qu9nce a very large tract of country ar, and Agra is now being rapidly brought under our rule again. The Gwalior Contingent still occupies a most anomalous position.. They have refused to obsy orders, and committed other acts of mutiny ; but they still remain in Gwalior, and have not yet taken up arms either against their own Rajah or our selves. They have possession, it is said, of forty cannon, and number 7,000 men, and they may come yet to Cawnpore, which is little more than 100 miles distant. Nothing is more striking, or seems more topoint out the finger of God in these mutinies, than the vacillation and folly of many bodies of the rebels. When they could have struck a severe and telling blow they did nothing but plot and scheme, and when their chance was gone, they madly rushed into the jaws of destruction. When Agra was defenceless the remained inactive for weeks, and came down at te;very moment Great hed's force from Delhi was ready to destroy them. So there is every probability of its being the cane with this Gwalior Contingent. Their day is gone by, and if they do not stir it is likely to be at their own cost. " Oui I Is was chiefly centred in oud „. The garrison has held out bravely, and its relief by Gen. Havelock was very timely. Still, in one way, the relief has been a disadvantage. It bas increased the consumption of food, without adding to their means of procuring it, and, as they were previously fast coming to the end of their stores, serious apprehen sions are occasionally felt on their behalf. S ill I believe in the communications which came from Sir J. Outram (whose wounds must be nearly healed), little or nothing is said of scarcity of provisions— though I do know he has urgently requested that Greathead's column might come to his assistance, and it is now on its way to Cawnpore. This column has been very hard worked since leaving Delhi, and after the battle of Agra, on the 10th inst., it rested two days, 11th and 12. h. On the 13th it err ssed the river, and on the 14th marched for this place. It may be expected to reach here in five or six days at the latest, and there is little fear of its teaching Lucknow before any serious disaster has happened to Sir J. Outram. It will reflect great lu-tre upon Sir John Lawrence if this column should, after all, relieve Lucknow. Through his masterly administration of the Punjaub, not only was his own territory kept in peace, but he has also been able to raise more levies of troops, with out which Delhi could not have ben taken, and, in all probability, Agra not saved. The relief of Lucknow will be a fine climax to these brilliant achievements—especially seeing that all has been done before a single soldier from England could reach the scene of conflict. The admiration of Sir J. Lawrence throughout India is intense, and I believe the general impression is, that nothing less than a hlndsonte pension an d a peerage will be an adequate acknowledgment of his services. "The relief of Lucknow garrison by General Havelcck was obtained at an immense cost. Out of a force of 2,200 actually engaged, 250 were killed, including 16 officers, and 700 wounded, giving a total of 950 °it of 2,200 engaged. We hear fight ing is going on daily there Troops are now beginning to arrive flout England. Still it will take a long time to get them up here, a distance of 620 miles. The steamers take nearly four weeks to reach Allahabad, and nearly another fortnight will be lest in matching here. By bullock-train, ar rangements have been made to despatch 150 men daily from Calcutta, but they will be a fortnight or three weeks in coming up, and must then travel night and day. By horse, dawb, and c 'ach, ar rangements have been made for about fifty to come up daily, and they may reach in five days. Many weeks must consequeutty ) -lapse before we can ex pect to have a large arrniere. wreckers on the .barbarous- coasts do upan.. hur ricanes and their consequent disasters at sea. We have here a little more. modesty, and . the greed of gain is not paraded . quite so nakedly as on the other side of the Atlantic, but still there is reason to believe—indeei one witness before the com mittee of last session spoke strongly to the fact— that upon more than one occasion powerful moneyed men in this country - have operated system atically with a view to producing violent sensations of alarm in the public mind, and thereby bringing to pass a monetary pressure and distres, out of which they might subsequently realise large profits. But, then, it is said this disturbance of credit and pressure ought to have been permitted to progress till it had reached its utmost limit, and it ought to have been allowed to run its career of destruction till there was nothing left to destroy. This course, it is contended, would have purified the atmosphere of the commercial world. It would indeed. The Act of 1844, left to fulfil its mission, would have made:elboW-room for itself much as Robespierre, the incorruptible, did. I would be as reasonable to burn down the City of London .in order to get rid of some dozen dirty courts or alleys and a; few " flash cribs." . . We perceive, of...course—every person nat obsti nately blindmustperceive—thattherehaveprevailed to a con siderable extent, very unjustifiable modes of dealing with money and with credit; but the remedy suggested by the advocates otthe act, pure and sim ple, is far too costly for us to recommend its appli cation. It has been sneeringly said—Why do not those who object to the act propose a beher 'I In good time we may ; but let us_fir•t agree upon the precise nature of the problem with which we ate dealing. The question his_ been treated generally hitherto as a question of currency. We say the question properly before us is not of that character. It is the systeni of banking, and of the managem. nt and regulation of credit that has produced our diffi culties, and we turn to the Bank Act of 1844, not because we find a note crculation, issuing from it, in deficiency or in excess as measured by the wants of the people, but we turn to it because we find it, in all periods of commercial distress or monetary pressure, from whatever causes arising, intervening with a most baneful influence—crushing the fee'de in the ruin, upsetting the steady, staggering the strong, and producing a state of mind, not only here, but all over the world, that brings the soundest enterprise to a check, and takes the bread of life out of the mouths of thousands and tens of thousands of hard-working men, women, and chil dren. And for what 'ITo vindicate a theory.. The act has not succeeded in making panic compara tively-innocuous by spreading its diluted effects over a large space 'of time. Sir Robert Peel ac knowledged that in 1847. We see now that it is inoperative, absolutely at least for good, when spe culation is growing into mischievous dimensions : that, powerful to punish, it is powerless to prvent, and that even its power of retribution it exercises so blindly, and indiscriminately pulling up the wheat with the tares, that everybody is agreed that par tial justice is too dearly bought by universal' rui n. There remains the security for the convertibility of the bank-note. Much stress is laid upon this point. We confess we do not perceive, nor do we pt , serve that it has been shown, bow the Act of 1844 se cures the convertibility of the note better than, or even so well, as the act of 1819. It his endangered it on two occasions within 12 years. Will anybody contend that the Bank could have met its 'labial , a if the Government Letter had not been issued ? They would have sold their securities. That is said. Will anybody tell us what would have happened if the Bank had been driven to such an extremity as throwing their securities upon the market ; will anybody contend that cash payment, under such circumstances, could have continued Let Parliament then take, wi.hout hesitation, the course clearly pointed out by all the trials to which this act has been expoPed ; let us return to the principles of the act of 1819, and let a commit tee be appointed to investigate promptly the c'r cumstauccs of that enormous supplemental paper circulation represented by bills, and resting upon credit, and to obtain thorough information with re gard to the character and management of our joint s' oek banks. NI FAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, .......-.-.... , .-401.. His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will - hold a levee on Saturday next, at 2 o'clock. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Heron, 16, Comman der Charts, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the eastward, to await further orders. Her Majesty's sailing corvette Juno, 26, Capt. Fremantle, will be paid off this day at Portsmouth. A report is current in naval circles that when the expected Channel squadron is ordered to assemble, Rear-Admiral Codringt , n will have the command. The Cuckoo, 3, paddle steamer.—lt has been as certained by the navy diver that there is no dam age done to the vessel except some of the copper being rubbed off. It is settled to tow her to Sheer ness for the purpose of docking .her at once. At six p.m. yesterday she was hauled into the middle of the river, and will be towed away on to-day's tide. The Racoon, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. A. Payuter, and the Calypso, 18, Capt. F. B. Mon trrsor, fitting for sea at Chatham, are being made ready with all despatch, and are both expected t) be fit for sea on the 26th inst. Instructions were yesterday issued to the respec tive authorities of her Majesty's dockyards, order ing the whole of the Royal dockyard brigades to be forthwith disbanded. The clothing and accoutre ments belonging to the battalions are consequently to b 3 called in, the Lnrds of the Admiralty having considered that the large amount of expenditure incurred in maintaining the staff of officers and men composing the brigades does not render a com pensative return ; and there being no apparent prospect of their services being at present required, and considering that the time taken up in exercises may be otherwise employed, their L.rdships desire that arrangements may be made for the reduction to be carried out as soon as may be practicable as regards the stores, arms, instruments, dr,c., in their charge and custody. A court of inquiry, at which Commander Old field, RN., presided, assembled on board her Majesty's steam atoreship Rhadamanthus on Satur day last, for the purpose of examining into cause of the fire which occurred on board that vessel at Woolwich immediately after her arrival on the preceding evening. The proceedings necessary to the inquiry extended over that day and the follow ing Monday, when a careful examination of the engineers and others connected with that depart ment, and an inspection of the machinery, led to the conviction that the accident was solely attributable to the foul state of the boiler tubes, occasioned by the inferior quality of the fuel provided—viz., a mixture of Scotch and Welsh coals. The tubes, although examined and cleansed on the vessel's arrival in the Down's, were found choked up with bituminous soot, produced by the nature of the fuel. It appeared that after the fires were raked out from beneath the furnaces the body of soot collected in the tubes burnt with sufficient force to render them red-hot and i g nite the casing. No blame is, consequently, attached to any person, the accident having been, under existing circum stances, clearly unavoidable. The Rhadamanthus, according to previous regulations, is ordered to be paid off on the 15th inst. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieutenant J. S. Tonkin, to the Excellent ; H. S. Mandeville, mate, to the Lynx ; Charles T. S. Kevern, surgeon, to the Copawallis ; Wm. Roche, assistant-surgeon to the Naiad ; Adolph E. Parks, second master to the Dasher ; and Philip Syoret, second master, to the Sharpshooter. TEE BANK CHARTER ACT. (From the g g orsie Po s t . ) It becomes very theadvisabletbat public and the Parliament should clearly understand and define what lies before them to do in the matter of the monetary affairs of the country ; for surely never has there bleu such n misrepresentation or misappre hension, and such abuse of terms, as upon the present occasion, as to what has been done, what ought to have been done , and what may be done. Let us take shortly a review of the main assertions to which currency has been given. It has been said that the bank-note circulation of the country has been unduly tampered with and depreciated, and that a most injuriou 8 effect has been unfairly - pro duced upon-the va l ue of both both money and commodities whereby those wealthy men who have hoardednioney under the influence of a prophetic perception of the dead-lock to b e Act of 1844 have induced by the free action of the been wickedly debarred from making all th e p ro fi t they had anticipated out of commercial prostration and national distress. It has the foremost of those men who have been accumulating large fortunes through the in vast fluctuations credit and capital, caused by the influences of th e and ruin Act, that the progress to insol vencyought not to have been interfered with, that the playought to have been played out, and desti notion suffered to have unchecked sway ; that Lord Palmerston ought to have suffered the whole commercial edifice to have been burnt to of ashes for the sake seeing whe•her it would not spontaneously ri se It is said that it is a phoenix, lce illiant and put fled. Parliament to possible by the aid of an Act of increase or decrease at pleasure the eon currency of the and to control the ebb and flow of bullion,nt r y 'd to regulate mercanti!e an speculation. Thislast to the Act of 1844 _indeed, was onceattributed itwas one of the original aimed and main objects at in its creation. Sir Robert Peel having, however ' admitted iu 1847 respect, at least, his device bad utterly may refrain from touching fade I, we presume We on that point, and may turn our attention to the other Propositi( n t o which we have referred. It is a, mis-statementt)f facts to say that 2,000,000/. have been added to the circulation, and it is an abuse or a misapprehension of terms to represent in that circulation as any degree debased. There has been an increase of 2,000,0001 . , as of bank-notes to the amount and the Banking between the Issue department Department of the Bank of England, no doubt. That sum has passed from the upon former to the latter approved securities, but that has been simply a transaction between the no two departments, the e being enabled by the suspension of the Act to come tw to the aid of the other. That is true of the departments of the Bank, but it is not true of thee relations between the Bank of England and the public. has never held the half of those -The public half of them ever been issue notes, nor have beyond the walls of the Bank, and those that were issued have since Banking been returned to it. The Department has always had the advantage the additional s t r ength conferred by the one-halfof excep tional issue, and now it has the ad vantage of the whole. Where is th e de preciation ? In the infu sion of the nine hundred and odd thousand which for about a fortnight has been in • the hands of the public 7 Surely nob od y Will be induced to believe such nonsense. Neither has money been made Government sustentationof the cheaper. The rate at 10 per cent. prevented that. Money has been made acces sible, and produce, property, and real securities have been restore d to a c ondition an of convertibility. That is what has bee n done, it has saved the nation from frightful results, But the infu sion of the note s actua lly tak l e wl' into circulation e ou'd not have filled up t gap made by the hoarding induced by the i alarm of the frightened or the cunning of the greedy. as, It w the confidence restor e dt the former by the meas ures of the Government eyi ° nch balked the cal culations of the latter, and set: free the springs of com merce so fearfully cramp rd by the Act of 1844. Hence this anger, and those in frenzied denunciations which are daily thu nder ed our ears by the organs which of that moneyed i nteres t makes wealth out of distress. For the disappointments of that class we have no regrets. Our sympathy is for that moneyed interest which is engaged in the commer cial and manufact urin g industry of the country, and upon which the de pressed and struggling ope ratives of the kingdom are dependent for their social position and their daily bread. En America there is a large recognised partywho systematically a work for a panic , who make business of creating sensations, who exult in distress, and look upon commerc i a l destruction in the same spirit that GUN-BOATS FOR INDIA. This day the first of 25 small iron•scrow gun boats, ordered by the East India Commty for service in India, arrived at the dockyard from the premises of the builders, Messrs. Sir J. Rennie and Co., and after receiving on board Mr. Partridge, assistant chief engineer of the factory department, proceeded down the river on a trial - trip, in order to test her screw machinery. The result was h;ghly sa'isfactory, and the rate of speed obtained was nine knots per hour. These bolts are decidedly the most complete specimens of " miniature" naval ar chitecture which have yet been turned out of hand. They are intended for service in the numerous shallow creeks which are connected with the Ganges, j Jumna, and other rivers in India, and are conse quently constructed to draw about two feet of water. Each boat will be armed with one 12-pounder gun, which can be fired, not only from its carnage placed about the centre of the deck, but can be shifted with the utmost rapidity to swivels which are placed at various parts of the dock in order that the weapon may be directed against any given point.

NORTH WALES CIRCUIT. —CHESTER, DEC. 8. (Bet; To Mr. Baron Channelll) THE BRAMHA LE MURDER. This morning James Ferguson Henderson,. aged 32, formerly cashier to Messrs. Saunders and Smith, cornfactOrs, Manchester, was placed in the dock, charged with the wilful murder of his fath er; Mr. James Henderson, a farmer, ' residing at Hardy's Farm, Bramhall. The charge against the prisoner was that, on the night of the 29th of Sept. last he shot his father while the deceased was asleep in his bed. From the respectable position of the accused and his family and the peculiar circum stances, of the case the trial caused unusual inte rest, and the court was much crowded. Mr. Washy, Mr. Bevan, and Mr. Horatio Lloyd conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Serjeant Parry (specially retained) and Mr. Maciutyre appeared on behalf of the prisoner. The prisoner, who is rather a small and diminti tive person and light complexioned, with a sharp countenance, on being placed at the bar pleaded "Not Gu lty." Mr. Welstly, iu a very lengthened speech, stated the oasa on the part of the -prosecution, and first called Joseph Axon, who deposed to the correctness of a model of the deceased's house, which he had pre pare I. [The model was produced .in court; and placed ou the table during the trial.] There are 38 witnesses, and it is not'expected the case will terminate before to-morrow night. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 8. MANSION-HOUSE.—William W. Thompson, traveller to the firm of Messrs. Jones and Co., of Gracachurch-street, oil 'merchants, wal brought before the Lord Mayor, 'charged with having ern -I;ezzltcl several gums of money amounting to up wards of 2,0001.. _ Mr.. Wontner appeared ; for the prosecution ; Mr. Morgan, of the firm of Humphries and Co., at ter:4d for the prisoner. Mr. Wontner said- the prison er ht d been in the employment of the prosecutors , ,boat seven yeav, and. it had been lately discovered that he had em bezzled several large amounts, but it was intended on the present Occasion to proVe no more than One case in order to justify a remand, and - to britig up the prisoner again after the necessary .donartiutifca- tions with the customers who wet() at a distance from the metropolis. Mr. C. J. Jones said—The prisoner has been in our employment as a traveller in the north of Eng land and Scotland. He commenced his last round in the month of October :ast, and returned to town on Saturday. It was Lis duty to keep a cash-book, in which he was to enter every accaunt he received, and on his return to present that book and lit•nd over his balance to us. He came to the counting house yestrrday and handed over 91. 2s. Gd. as the balance of his last journey. He then went away through a side door, although I expected him to wait, and he got, I believe, into a cab. I have looked over the accounts of h's last journey, and I fuunfl, according to my e,tirnate, a deficiency of upwards of 2,0001. We have a cus'omer of the n ame of W. Bennington, at Stockton-on-Tees, who was indebted to us in Sept. in the sum of 661. 9s. :I have, in consequence of suspicions which we enter t ILIA, written to Mr. - Benning'on, and have ro ceived an answer to the effect that the amount had been paid to the prisoner on Sept. 3, his last jour ney but one. On his return last time that sum had been entered in the cash book, but the e try 'had. Leen erased, and it was not po3ted in the ledger. He never paid the money 'o us. I believe that if your lordship remands the prisoner I shall.b3 able to prove that hs l.as embezzled to the amount of Upwards of 2;0001: ' " Mr. M , lrgan . mid he could - not object to the ap- lication fora remand of his client, - bathe hoped the Lo:d Mayor would order the reet , r4tion of cer tain p &pers which had been taken from the pri soner, and which could not be of any use to any Oa 3 else. Mr. Wontncr said the papers alluded to were connected with betting transactions in:which the prisoner had been engaged, and to th e p aymen t of which the money embezzled h•d been in all proba bility appropriated. It would therefore be neces sary to examine the papers for the prosecuton. The Lord Mayor—Cori:tinly. The papPra must ba examined before they caa be returned to the prison€r. Mr. Morgin—Money to the amount of 301. or 351. has alsl lyea taken from the pris , mer, and I hope your iorlship will order the return,of that money. The Lord Mayor—l don't see how I can do so. That money is probab'y part of the proceeds of the alleged plunder. Toe prisoner was then remanded. SOUTHWARK.—The two coloured girls who were first brought to this court on.tbo charge of b-gging in the streets, and who stated that they were fugitive slaves from America, attended to fear the result of an investigation into the truth of their story which has been i ecently undertaken by the Meudicity Society. Mr. Ferguson, the chief clerk of the society, stated that the elder girl was living with a black mania Crown-court, Wentworth-street, and the younger with an Irishwoman, said to be her mother. The father of the younger had been found in Chel sea Workhouse, where she often visited him, and left money for him. A letter had b-2en received from Greenock, at which port the girls had stated that they arrived in a vessel named the Jane, in forming Mr. Ferguson that no vessel of that name had been in Greenock for 18 months. The younger girl denied that she had ever been at the Chelsea. Workhouse, but - the porter, assis tant-porter, and storekeeper having sworn to the contrary, _ Mr. - turcham said they bad grossly deceived both the public and himself. There hal been several sums of money sent to him by benevolent persons, and they had likewise received a small sum weekly during the investigation, but now they would have no more, as he was of opinion that they did not deserve it. According to the testimony before him, the younger was clearly an impostor, and there could be little doubt that they were both sn, and that the old woman lived on their collections. The public would no doubt bo made aware of the circumstances through the me dium of the press, and the residue of the funds in hand sent for their use would either be forwarded to them, through application to Mr. Edwin, the chief c'erk, or it could be applied to the uses of the poor box. He told the girls to leave the court, and mind that they were not taken into custody for begging. If they were, they would bo severely punished. The girls then left the court very much dejected. THAMES.—Andreas Adam, the master, and Wilhelm Volcksted, the steward of the Hamburg ship Semiramis, from B,,mbay, were sentenced •to pay 1001. each, or be imprisoned for six months, for smuggling 19 lbs. of Cavendish tobacco and 6 lbs. of cigars. Theodore Andrews, third mate of the American ship Raoger, was fined 40s. for striking Martin Hawkes, one of the crew, a blow in the face. With respect to the affairs of the London and Eastern Bank, now under a conditional winding-up order in the Court of Chancery, a strong desire is felt that the offi cial manager should be some person who, up to this time, has taken no part in the winding -up proceedings pri vattly or out of court. . Any one known to have been a friend of any di rector w h ore conduct or debt may form the subject of compromise must be clearly objec tionable. r, NATI' OF G LASGOW BANK —GLASB-01V, Tuesday Evetiinsl.—The adjourned meeting of the ehareholdf re of the City of Glasgow Bank was held to-day.
