The LORD CHANCELLOR Alt in Lincoln's-ion Hall to (lsy,heard and origind causes, of w hi c h th ere were tv.elve in his Lordship's papers. In many of the enees Counsel took Foich decrees as they could abide by. on producing an '' efi't4Y • ;' le r7 iee ; one or two were heard and disposed of, and tie others were struck out, no party appearing, or Counsel not icing furnish e d w ith an: affidavit of sorviee. His Lordship rose shortly after eleven (o'clock. His Loans''' stated, at the rising of the Court, that he hoped Solicitors would take warning from what had taken place to-day, and in future understand that it was not safe to trust to a c ause com i ng on without being served with an affidavit of service. Doubtless it was the intention of se veral of the parties in the cases that bad been struck out, and perhaps they had been waiting for a considerable time .or an opportunity of doing so. that the opportunity was now lost in nonsequence of the neglect of Solicitors in not furnishi ng their Counsel with an affidavit of service, and the result was that an application must be made to the Court to restore them , thereby inflicting delay and expense on the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Firs. 7. Short causes, in opposed petitions, and original causes, of no general public interest, occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor the whole day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, F':. 7, EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-THE ABUSES OF LUNATIC ASYLUMS. PATIRNOITIR n. FINCM AND OriIERS.. This case, the circumstances of which, when mentioned, will be fresh in the public mind, though the strong feeling they excited at the time, though the period at which they occurred is now, i■ consequence of the long delay in the trial of the cause, not recent. The plaintiff is a gentleman of very respectable connec tions, but who had the misfortune to have some serious differences between himself and his family. Thev, it ap pears, had endeavoured to get him confined, under the pretext of insanity, in a lunatic asylum. To effect this, it was necessary, by the lunatic law, to procure the certificates of two medical men. Mr. Paternoster was assaulted one morning at his residence by three or four persons who endeavoured to seize him. He resisted, and sent for the police, and upon their appearance the aggressors withdrew, taking away the manacles they had brought to secure him. He was advised to go to the police-office, whither he was followed by the parties, fiorn whom he sought the protection of the sitting Magistrates at Marlborough -street (Messrs. Dyer and Conent). Mr. Finch, the keeper of the Asylum, and Mr. Wing, a solici tor, another of the defendants, declared him to be insane. A Dr. Spurgeon was first sent for, who in the excited state in which he found Mr. Paternoster, put a series of ques tions, which that gentleman considered impertinent aryl prying., and resented as such, upon which the doctor signed the certificate, The celebrated Dr. Monroe, being next applied to, wisely said that Mr. Paternoster was not in a fit state to be examined as to sanity, and declined inter fering. A Mr. Dunn, a neighbour of Mr. Paternoster's father, then came, and after putting questions so trivial that they left an impression on the minds of all present that Mr• Paternoster was the most sane of the two, signed the certificate. The Magistrates upon the could not in terfere. And on going out the plaintiff was seized upon by half-a•dozen persons, the defendants, and after a desperate resistance was conveyed to the Lunatic asylum of Mr. Finch, and therein immured. Mr. Hawes, the Member of Parliament, knew Mr. Paternoster well, and on going to see him was convinced of his sanity, and measures were taken to procure his release, which, how. ever, by the law, could only be effected by a tedious pro cess, attended with great delay. At length it was effected, and Mr. Paternoster's conduct since his enlargement had been such as quite to establish his sanity. It will perhaps be recollected, that at the time of these transactions The Sun having called the attention of the public to the case, through the medium of its police report, took great inte rest in the affair, and proceeded to appeal to the public feeling on the subject ; so that Mr. Paternoster had since been freed from molestation. The action was now brought to recover compensation for the assault and imprisonment. Mr. Txssie ite (with whom were Mr. Platt and Mr. Gurney) appeared for the plaintiff, and made a most able address to the jury in opening the case, expatiating with great force on the tortures, not less of body than of mind, which Mr. Paternoster must have endured, and dwelling on the awfully insecure state in which life and liberty must be held if juries did rot, by exemplary verdicts, con. demn such proceedings as these. Mr. Hawes sat beneath Mr. Thesiger during the trial, in which he evidently took deep interest. Mr. Paternos ter was also present, and his demeanour was as sane as any person in Court. The first witness called was a policeman, named Dud. ley, C 16, who had been called in to Mr. Paternoster's residence in the Haymarket on the occasion of the first assault. Witness had interferred to prevent the violence attempted on plaintiff, which otherwise he believed would have ended in murder. The wit ness also described the scene at the police-office, in which he stated Mr. Spargeon's inquiries to have been personal and irritating, and Mr. Dunn's questions to have been foolish and trifling. Mr. Wing was very violent through out, while Mr. Paternoster's answers and conduct were altogether rational and reasonable. He stated that Mr. Paternoster was severely beaten and treated with great violence by the keepers, indeed by all the people who had been at the police office against Mr. Paternoster, but the witness could not specify the parts they respectively took. His impression was that the whole of the nine de.. fendanta—two Mr. Finches, Mr. Wing, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Worthington, and the keepers, with a Mr. Scott were present. The ATTORNIY-GIMIRAL here said he appeared for Mr, Pateraoiter, senior. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was for Mr. Wing. Mr. Eater for the keepers, the Messrs. Finch, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Worthington. Mr. HOOGINI for Mr. Scott. Dudley, cross-examined by the ATTORNM GENERAL— Had been medically educated—(A laugh)—but still had frequently see■ persons insane before. Mr. Paternoster had appeared excited when his father and mother were mentioned—especially when his money matters were alluded to—he was excited but not violent. Mr. Dunn put questions to him about his failing. Thought them foolish in the manner in which they were put. Mr. Pater noster answered generally in a cool and collected manner. By Mr. ERLD—Mr. Paternoster bad the poker in his hand during the scuffle at the house in the Haymarket. Mr. Teesreee objected to this unless he were also al lowed to enter into Particulars. Mr. BALE acceded to the objection. By Mr. TIIV,IIIRR—The person called Scott was here in court when I first came into the box. He is not here now. Mr. Tersteitn—My Lord I shall prove Mr. Scott was sitting there just now. Sergeant Rogers, C 5, corroborated the last witness's evidence. Inspector Baker gave similar testimony. Dudley recalled and examined by Mr. Tamara—Point out now the person called Mr. Scott. Witness pointed him by Mr. Noggins. Cross-examined by Mr. HooaiNa—l have some doubt whether Mr. Scott was in the office. lie was pointed out to me in the hall. By Mr. TFINSIGKR—He was the person aiding and as sisting in forcing Mr. Paternoster into the coach, in order to convey him off. Mrs. Scott, the occupier of the house 47, Haymarket, was then called, and stated that Mr. Paternoster had re sided there six years before he went to the Asylum, and had resided there since. He was an early riser, and went to bed at good hours, from nine to eleven. He was very regular in hi; habits. He paid regularly to the day every month. He was accurate and careful in his payments, and frugal and moderate in his expences. Ile appeared decidedly of sound mind, and capable of managing his own affair•. I never saw him tipsy but once.—( Mr. Tlllifile&K —" I wish we could all say the same thing."—Laughter.) Mr. Hawes, M. P., had known the plaintiff twenty years, and stated that he was of quite sane mind, and in deed displayed acuteness of no ordinary kind, and ac quirements of very high order. At the same time there was something rather eccentric in his appearance ; he was somewhat careless in his dress. Mr. Brunel, the engineer, and Mr. Bloomfield, a sur geon, gave similar evidence. Mr. Edward Dubois, Secretary to the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, produced the order, signed by Mr. Paternoster, senior, and the certificates signed by Dr. Spurgeon and Mr. Dunn, on which plaintiff was sent to the Messrs. Finch's Asylum, at Kensington. He stated thet the Commissioners could not discharge a person till after three separate visits, and it was on the very day after the last via t that Mr. Paternoster was let out by an order from his father, anticipating the decision of the Commis sioners who had examined Mr. Hawes, Mr. Aglionby, M. P., M-s. 2 .ett, and others. Dr. E. J. Seymour (late one of the Commissioners of Lunacy) stated that he had been one of the three who vi sited Mr. Paternoster at the Asylum at Kensington. I felt his heart and found that he laboured under a palpita tion of the heart, denoting derangement of that organ. Nothing passed on that occasion indicating insanit) ; but a Commis!,ioner of Lunacy never forms an opinion until after three visits. I visited him twice afterwards, in the company of Lord Ashley, Mr. Hallowell, and others. Oil the last occasion I went with nine Commissioners. The ex"vnination lasted two hours. He was very nervous and agitated. We examined him as to alleged acts of violence committed by hire, and violent letters said to have been written by him, indeed on almost every subject. Nothing passed that indicated insanity. His replies were pertinent and ready. Crosa-examined by the ATTORNEY- GMLIAL—It is s:amseestiomf e p s er sveryon persons i d ffi is c p u l l a t y t i n o g d h e g t r e e c a t t insanity . acuten es I I have known . These persons often ha e vle u a e n s l u who have yet diseased minds. But cases a c r o e nge ra jo r u e sn e s x ss ce o p f ti t o h n e s i . r. position, while under :nation, to know that it was often able, for a certain time, important they should be greataome longer some shorter, cool and collected. They are rationality, but never to maintain conversation with in my experience for hours. There releasingva: a recommenda tion, with a suspensive order, for the !lover. There wus a resolution to release him if M r . Paternoster, senior, did not . T here was a differenc e of opinion among the Commissioners. Mr. TIRSIGER objected. The Lean Cuter JUSTICZ said it might be asked whether the decision was unanimous or not. The witness having stated that it was not; there was a division on the resolution, and the numbers were 6 to 4. Mr. HA LI WI'LL, another of the Commissioners, who had examined Mr. Paternoster, described his conduct as sane and rational. Colonel Sykes, Colonel Clitheroe, and others, ashed him various questions on religious matters, some of which he declined to answer. Ile as rather ex cited, certainly, but quite sane, and had sufficient judg ment to manage his affairs. Witness' had examined him privately on family matters, on which some persons have a kind of monomania, or delusion ; but his explanations were very lucid on that point. Bross-examined by Mr. Sergeant TALFCCID—Are you able to pledge your oath to the soundness of Mr. Pater- i noster's mind' Witness._ Why, that depends on what you understand by , noocr. Mr. James Wi!-on, stockbroker --I knew Mr. Pater noster, and have done business with him. I have always found hoe perfectly sound. Mr. Clarke, formerly a keeper in Mr. Finch's es.ta blishmenr, bore testimony as to the general quietness and calmness of Mr. Paternoster during the time of his being in the asylum. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—Had known many parties as quiet and orderly as Mr. Pater noster, who were clearly insane. Re-examined by Mr. THESIIER.—Did not know that any medicine was given to Mr. Paternoster at his entrance into the asylum. Mr. Thornton—l am proprietor of the Asiatic Journal. I received, a few years ago, some contributions from Mr. Paternoster. Cross-examined by the ATTottNEv•GENERAL.-1 never saw Mr. Paternoster in my life. Col. CAMPBELL knew Mr. Paternoster in Paris, in 1830, and from what he saw of him he was sure he was of sound mind. Cross-examined by Mr. ATTORNEY-GENEXAL—I met him at a reading-room ia Paris, and had no regu.ar intro duction. I have never conversed with him about his own affairs. James Collar, a newsman, knew Mr. Paternoster was in the habit of coming to his news-room every day for the last two years—had accounts with him—wished every body was as punctual in their settlemehts of accounts as he was. Cross-examined by Mr. Eaut—l had only conversations with bim upon business. Mr. Brooke, a surgeon, in the neighbourhood of Rus sell square, had known Mr. Paternoster 'or several years— had met him out at dinner—from his knowledge of Mr. Paternoster be should say he was a person capable of managing his own affairs, and perfectly sound. Cross-examined by the ATFORNII-GENERAL— I have dined with him at my own house. I have spoken with him very little about the members of his family. I do not remember ever seeing anything but kind behaviour to wards Mr. Paternoster from his family. Re-examined by Mr. THESM R — Mr.:Paternoster. always treated his family in return with kindness, Mary Stammers formerly resided in Jermyn-street— when Mr. Paternoster, for four or five months, ',Aged with her. His conduct was very good, and his habits very re gular. Very regul , :r in his weekly settlements of ac counts. During that time she had not the least notion that he was insane. Cross-examined by the ATTJRNET-GENERAL—Had seen him once or twice since 1832. Mrs. Collier, a waitress at Hancock's dining rooms, in Robert -street, had waited on him for three or four years. He was always like any other gentleman. He was always very regular. The Court then adjourned, and the trial will be pro ceeded with to-morrow. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT , OLD COURT. Elizabeth Toy, a young woman genteelly dressed, and of prepossessing appearance, and John ireathly, a young man, were indicted for stealing a quantity of plate, wearing apparel, desk, and other articles, the property of William Way mouth, the master of the first mentioned prisoner. Mr. CLAaLECN stated the facts of the case, which be said were rather of a singular character. After evidence of the facts had been given, most of which have already appeared in the papers, Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against both prisoners. The same prisoners were again indictcd, with a man named John Connor, for stealing nine ivory bagatelle balls, a decanter, and other articles, the property of Ed. Bryant. In this case it appeared that on the Bth of January, the prisoners - vent into the Plasterer's Arms public-house, in Little Marylebone-street, and proceeded to a room on the fist floor where they had some beef-steaks, and after they ware gene the property in question was missed, and it was proved that they were afterwards concerned in its being pledged at different pawnbrokers. I The Jury returned a verdict of guilty. Another count in the indictment, charging the prisoner Keathly with having been previously convicted of felony, was then read, and an officer proved that he had been so convicted. The Jury than found the prisoner guilty of the whole charge imputed to him Ti.o prisoner Connor was then indicted far another felony committed under similar circumstances, and the evidence being conclusive, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. _ The whole of the prisoners were then brought up to receive judgment, and the Court sentenced Keathly to be transported for Fourteen Years; Connor to be transported for Seven Years; and Elizabeth Toy to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for Twelve Months. Edward Murphy was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Daniel Mahony, with intent to murder him, and in other counts the intent was laid to be to maim and disable, or to do him some gr i evous b o dil y h arm. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and that his intent was to do the prosecutor some grievous bodily harm. The Court then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for fifteen years. THE BETHNAL-GREEN CHARTISTS. Just as the Judges were about to leave the Court, the parties charged with being present at the seditious meeting ' at Bethnal-green were ordered to be placed at the bar, and plead to the indictment found against them by the Grand Jury. Charles Hodson Neesom, the Chairman of the meeting, surrendered in discharge of his bail. The other defen dants, Richard Spurr, Thomas Reynard, Thomas Hope, and William Wilkins, were brought up from the gaol. They all pleaded Not guilty. Mr. Piliwrs then addressed the Court, and said that he believed his Learned Friend, Mr. Prendergast, was in structed on behalf of all the defendants except one, and he had conferred with him, and it was arranged that the trial of the defendants shonid stand over until the next Session. The only question, therefore, that remained was the amount of bail into which they should be called upon to enter. There was no anxiety on the part of the prosecutors to pr. ss harshly upon the defen.. dents, and taking into consideration their Station in life, they should be satisfied with their entering into rccogni zances in 50/., and sureties in 25/. each, provided the Court thought that amount sufficient. The COURT intimated its opinion that this amount of bail was sufficient. Mr. Prifwes then sa'.l, with regard to Mr. Neesom, the Chairman at the meeting, he should submit that he be called upon to enter into the same amount of recogni zance' under which he had surrendered, viz., himself in 500/., and his sureties in 250/. etch. He also required that the other defendants should give 43 hours' notice of the b.il they intended to produce. Richard Spurr, one of the defendants, then applied to have a copy of the indictment furnished to him. Mr. Justice Courst.ts said he could have a copy by pay ing the amount fixed by the Act of Parliament for it. The defendant intimated that it he could not have a copy without paying for it, he would be satisfied with hearing, it read over. It was read accordingly, and the prisoners were re manded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET. A young man of respectable appearance, about twenty two years of age, named Thomas Dunn Webb described as a clerk in the post-office at Birmingham, was yesterday brought before Mr. Jardine by InFpector Reeve, of the A division, charged with stealing a number of letters con taming money and other property, which passed through his hands in the discharge of his duties as clerk in the establishment. It was stated that the prisoner is respectably connected, and previous to his appointment, which took place nnly u short time back, he had been clerk to a solicitor in the city. Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, assisted by his brother, unducted the prosecution Mr. Charles James I3reton, clerk in the Bank of Eng land, being sworn, gave evidence to the following effect : Mr. Peacock—Will you look at the prisoner, and say if you recollect his coming to you at any time to the 11;hic on business ? Witness—He came there about two o'clock in tho after noon of Monday, the 27th of January last. Mr. Peacock—Did he present any notes at that time ? Witness—He!presented seven 51 Bank of England notes. Mr. Peacock—Did be ask you for change of them? Witnets—Yes, he asked me to cash them for him. Mr. Peacock—Are the notes produced any thing like those he had at the time ? Witness—"l'he notes Produced are the same which he presented to me on that occasion, with the two produced of the B.rmirgliam Branch Bank, the number and dates of the latter being 33,075, April 25, 1839, and 59,621, April 24,1 ff A), and of the former 58,092, July 12, 1839, 25,943, do., 37,382, do, 51,647, June 13, 1839, and 68,098, May 13. Mr. Peacock— Had they any endorsements upon them at the time. Witness—Upon the backs of all of them t as endorsed, " J. D. Williams, of the George and Bl ue B oar, Holborn." Mr. Peacock—What account did he give of himself. WitneA—On my asking him where ho resided, he said at Birmingham, and on my requesting to know what part of the town, he said at 80, North -street, Birmingham, which I wrote on the back of the note, as it appears. Mr. Peacock—ln what sort of cash did you change the notes for him. Witness—l gave him 35 sovereigns, but I did not observe what he did with them. Mr. Peacock—Was there any prtion with the prison,r at th- time? Witness—l think there was a young woman, but I cannot say if they went away together. Nicholas Pearce. Inspector of the A division, proved that on Saturday last, he received instructions to find and ap prehend the prisoner, and on going in search of him, he found that he had left town on the previous Wednesday, by the Item coach, for Brighton, from the White Horse Cellar, in Piccadilly, under the assumed name of Stanley. Witness proceeded on tha same evening to Brighton, by the mail, accompanied by Peak, the constable, employed by the Port-office authorities, and on arriving at Brighton, he ascertained that he had stopped at the Ship Hotel on the Wednesday previous, but that he had left for Hastings on the Monday foilowing. Witness immediately pro ceeded to Hastings, where he was informed that the pri soner had stopped one night at the Castle Inn, and that on Saturday morning he had gone by a post-chaise to Dover. Witnes s (with Peak) proceeded thither, and again found that he had left on the same morning for Calais, by the Duke of Wellington steam-packet. He again fol_ lowed up the pursuit on Tuesday, and on getting to Calais discovered that the prisoner had taken up his quarters under th• name of Stanley, at a boarding-house. On going to the house to mak• inquiries for hiss he was told he was sitting iu the drawing-room ; and as witness en- THE SUN LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1840 soundness of mind.

TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburg of the 31st ult., the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives «n exchange of 13. 7i, and the exchange at Hamburg on L d:don at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer at ILm burg than in London. lOid. the ounce Per milk, whi c h, t the Englishprem um A o u n a t go p l r d i c e a t o i pi s tr l i . s 1 i; for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 30, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 27k, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent, dearer at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1074 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it fellows that the exchange is 1.82 per cent. against England. It is intended in the city that all business, not of an indispensable kind, shall be suspended on Monday i❑ honour of the Queen's marriage. As yet no notice hag been issued from the Bank to that effect, probably because the business in deposAs will not allow of any such indulgence, as in that respect they are mere pri , rate bankers, However, the Committee of the Stock- Exchange have given notice that it will positively be closed on that day. The Consol market is still under the influence of the notion that Exchequer-bills will be funded, and at all events, there is an impression that the Govern ment will find it necessary to raise money in one shape or another. The cause of depressio n in the price of Consols still produces a corresponding rise in Exche quer-bills, the prices of which have made a further, thought a trifling, advance. The closing quotations are, Consols, 90i for money, and 91 (sellers) for the account ; Exchequer-bills, Us. to 14s. premium. In the foreign house Spanish bonds have b en some what in demand, and the market for these securities has, on the whole, been pretty brisk, though no cause is assigned for the movement. CHRONlCLE.—Exchequer Bills are better. This rise shows the general opinion to be that the Chancellor of the Exchequer must propose a scheme for the fund ing of these securities ; and as it is uncertain to what extent that operation may have already taken place through the medium of the savings' banks, the value of this class of government paper is in consequence en hanced. The heaviness which is felt in the Consol market is also in their favour, as capitalists, looking possibly for a fall in the former, naturally have recourse to Exchequer Bills as a temporary investment, until they see what turn things are to take. The pre vailing impression is, that the Money Market is upon a balance at present, and very little will turn the scale either way. The feeling is not one of confidence, and the tone of the discussion last night in the House of Lords has increased the uncertainty with which the moneyed interests look towards the future. The de mand for bills on the Continent still continues, accom- panied by the same scarcity of paper to white we lately alluded. The cause for the deficiency of supply is easily seen in the dullness of our exports ; but as we formerly observed, th ere is no such w a y o f accounting for the de man d, b ecause the imports to this country have also of late been limited ; but the result is, that large remittances have, of necessity, b e - in made in gold, and some sensation has, in consequence, been felt in the Bank parlour, the exchanges, too, being unfavourable, and flatter than last post. Be that as it may,!the Direc tors made their choice, and having so lately determined on reducing discounts, they must adhere to 5 prr cent. The public cannot prevent them from selling stock, or from refusing paper when offered. Those methods of curtailing the circulation are in their own control, be yond the interference of others ; but the mercantile and trading interests ought to assert that the Directors keep faith with them, and adhere to that line of policy which ;heir late alteration in the value of money induced them to expect, and relying on which many of our mer chants and manufacturers have already made a consider able increase in their operations. The annual report of the affairs of the Bank of France, which has lately appeared, furnishes a striking ground of comparison as to the manner in which the currency is conducted in the two countries. In France, it will be seen that the rate of discount is invariably k-pt at about 4 per cent. SUN.—This afternoon the Committee of the Stock Exchange came to the resolution of closing both Mar kets on Monday, in honour of the Queen's Marriage, It is expected, in consequence of the notice which has been issued by the Lord Mayor, that the day will be generally observed as a holiday by her Majesty's loyal citizens. The Foreign Exchanges closed flatly this afternoon at the following rates :—Paris, 25 50 a .5•2 ; Am sterdam, 12 :3i ; Hamburgh, 13 Si ; Frankf ur t, 15N; and Antwerp, 12 U. The Tea market was in a state of some excitement ' this afternoon fro a a report that was current, that good news had been recei , ,ed from Canton, by overland despatches. The statement, we fear, is premature ; at least we could not obtain any confirmation of the story. The prices of teas were heavy in consequence of the report. The West India produce markets were firm this afternoon, but for East India or Baltic imports the demand was slack. Extreme heaviness was again the prevailing feature in the En:dish Stock Market, arid perhaps we may also add that it was the only one. Consols closed at 90-i for Money, and 91 for Time : Exchequer Bills at 12s. to 14s. premium ; and India Bonds at 3s. premium ; Bank Stock rallied to 179. There was a rise of 4to per Cent. in Spanish Bonds this afternoon, a purchase or two having infused more spirit into the speculators. The Actives touched but left off at 20:i. Portuguese New Fives, which generally move with Spanish, rose to 34k, and Russian Bonds touched 115. These were the only alterations of any importance The Railway Shares continued depressed at a out the quotations realised in the early part of the day.

I tered he found the prisoner lolling on a chair, perusing " Jack Shepherd," while a musical box sent forth its dul cet notes as it lay on the table by his elbow. Witness instantly went up to him, and shaking him by the hand said " how do ye do, how do ye do, Webb ?" upon which the prisoner sail, " I have not the pleasure of knowing you. Sir;" but witness said " Nonsense, man ! you must kin,w me," and on his asking where, witness answered, "At I. 3 rinitorliarn. to be sore," The prisoner then said his name was Stanley, but witness told him it was use less attempting- to carry on the farce any longer, as he knew differently, and he must go with him to England. The prisoner instantly demanded to be informed for what, and the witness said Ise was sent to fetch him home. lie then asked who had sent for him, and he was told that a meeting of gentlemen had been held, and witness was di rected by them to take him back respecting some bank notes. The prisoner next demanded his name, and under what authority he was acting, and witness answered who ha was, at the same time exhibiting his staff, which caused the prisoner to consent to accompany him across. He was then taken to the Hotel Royale, and on the following morning conducted to Ramsgate. On getting to the Castle Inn witness told him he should submit to be searched, and that everything he possessed shottld be taken from him. The prisoner upon hearing this put his hand into his inner coat pocket and pulled out the bag produced, containing one hundred sovereigns and half sovereigns, together with a purse containing eight sovereigns and three five-franc pieces produced ST.

E, Corbally, Esq., as Member for this county, in the room of Mr. Morgan O'Connell, took place here to-day. The Tories circulated a report that the Liberal party would be taken by surprise, by the starting of a Tory candidate, at the moment of the writ of election being read ; and considerable anxiety existed amongst the people up to the opening of the Court, this dhy, by the Sheriff. At that time, however, all doubt upon the matter vanished, for there was hardly a Tory of weight or influence who made his appearance in the town at all, and the people had everything their own way. No other candidate having appeared, and the High Sheriff having called for a show of hands in favour of Mr. Corbally, he declared him duly elected. The Pilot observes, " 111 r. Corbally is now, as he deserves to be, the chosen, the independent Member of one of the most independent constituencies in Ire land, before whom a Tory candidate dared not show. Mr. Corbally will add one more to the Liberal ma jority of Ministers. There was an Irish Member absent, however, Mr. Fitzgibbon. That would have added another to the Ministerial majority, and must be accounted for. ELECTION FOI.STOKE-UPON TRENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-I take the liberty of stating . to you that John Lew is Ricardo is here paying a visit to the electors of this place. He has been invited to six breakfasts this week Monday at Longton, Tuesday at Fenton, Wednesday at Stoke, Thursday at Hanley, Friday at Burslern, and at Tunstall on Saturday. He has issued a frank and liberal address, and has met with great encouragement up to this day. The Liberals are in high glee, quite cheered with the prospect of having one member at the next vacancy to represent their views in Parliament. Ricardo is a princely fellow, and promises well to per.. petuate the great principles of his uncle David Ricardo. His success is beyond doubt. The utmost enthusiasm has attended him up to this day. He has published an address to the Electors, in wh:ch he declares himself in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws, extension of the Suffrage, and justice to the Irish people. Stoke-upon-Trent, Feb. 6th, 1840. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta—As a subscriber, I claim (if you consider the sub ject of sufficient importance). a corner in your valuable paper, in reply to the Bishop of Exeter's " untruth " rela tive to a Socialist of Liverpool, as stated in the Times of the 4th instant. My Lord—Having read the following statement as made by your Lordship in the Honourable House of which you are a member, that " at Liverpool a Socialist now stands committed on a charge of murdering his infant child," and " that the Magistrates had thought it their duty to commit him." As an officer of the Liverpool branch of the Universal Community Society of Rational Religionists, I thought it my bounden duty i mme di ate l y to inform your Lordship that the statement made by your Lordship as above was not true. Fearing, however, least my own statement might not be received by your Lordship, Mr. John Farn, our Social lecturer, and myself, applied this morning to Ed. Rushton, Esq., Stipendiary Magistrate for the bo rough, and received for answer, that no such thing as the statement made by your Lordship has occurred in Li verpool ; but directed us to call upon the " Coroner," Mr. P. T. Curry, who informed us that no person had been committed for murder in or near Liverpool since the last Assizes; and that we had his (the Coroner's) autho rity to state to any Member of either House of Parliament that the statement made by your Lordship is not true. Charity, my Lord, compels me to write this to your Lordship, in order that your Lordship may have the op portunity of making the " amende honorable " in your place in Parliament. Feb. 4, 1840. W. WESTWICK, Secretary, Branch 12. APPREHENSION AND COMMIT TAL OF THOMAS BURTON HOWARD.

(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 7.) SUGAR. --The grocers have appeared very desirous to bey British Plantation Sugar, and on Tuesday large purchases were made in all descriptions, at prices 64 higher, but during the last two days buying has been checked in consequence of the small and indifferent show, and the merchants not being disposed to sell excepting at a further advance. For Refining descriptions the demand was good in the early part of the week, at the ad. vance quoted above, but the increasing demands of the mer chants have checked business during the last two days. This afternoon the Grocers as well as Refiners were anxious to purchase West India, but the limited quantity on show checked business, and the sales amounted to only 500 hhds and tierces at stiff prices. The purchases for the week are 2000 hhds and tierces, at prices 6d higher for all kinds. 100 hhds Barbadoes are declared for auction on Tuesday. REFINED.—The Grocers have evinced much anxiety to pur chase Refined goods this week ; prices have further improved 6cl; Standard lumps at 78s 6d to 795, and rather inferior and good brown lumps at 76s 6d to 775. 64. Treacle 25s 6d for common, and 33s 64 to 35s for patent and the best old make. The common kinds of Bastards are rather higher ; better kinds at previous rates. Piece; very fine at 71s to 725. Bonded Crushed Sugar 348 3d to 34s 6d for parcels for immediate delivery, to wait three and fnur weeks contracts at 343 3d. For Loaves 37s for 14, and at 38s for 10 lbs. In Treacle large EVENING EDITION. COFFEE.—The cessation in the demand for Tea has caused the trade to be less desirous to purchase West India Coffee this week, besides it has lessened the confidence of holders, and the market has assumed a quiet appearance ; prices have given way 2s for clean descriptions, still the whole offered at public sale, consisting of 303 casks 6 bags Berbice, found buyers, but the biddings were languid, fine middling sold at 124 s to 1265, mid dling to good middling 118 s to 1233, low middling 113 s to 116 s, fine and fine fine ordinary 107 s to 112 s, bold Triage 1085 6d to 110 s 6d ; for unclean kinds the demand has been very limited, and reduced rates by 2s 6d to 3s have been submitted to. This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind, and the demand by private contract for home use, WAS on a small scale, but the offers made at lower prices for clean kinds of East and West India were rejected ; Brazil and unclean kinds may be easily bought at the reduced rates established at the auctions this week. Government have it in serious contemplation to reduce the duty on Coffee from the Brazils, St. Domingo, and upon other kinds the produce of Foreign Plantations. RUM, BRANDY AND Hoz.Larsos.—There has been less de mand for Rum since our last, and the operations in Jamaica have been limited, amounting to only 120 puns, but former rates have been supported; 26 to 30 per cent. overproof has yielded bs 6d to 5s 9d, 33 to 38 over 5s 10d to Os, superior marks 6s 2d to 6s sd. Of Leewards the sales have been only 200 puns at rather lower prices for common kinds, good sorts are held firmly ; proof to 3 per cent overproof has been sold at 3s 7d to 3s Bd, 8 to 12 over 3s 10d to 4s 4d, 30 to 35 over 5s 2d to 5s 4d, 36 to 40 over 5s 5d ass 9d ; 280 puns have been re ceived since last Friday. The stock is nearly on a par with that of last year. East India Rum is held firmly at previous rates ; Govern ment have it in contemplation to reduce the duty ; probably it will be fixed at 9s per gallon. The negotiation in progress be tween our Government and the French, as to the policy of re clueing the duty on Brandy, has caused the trade to be more anxious to purchase, and on the other hand it has occasioned holders generally to refuse to sell, excepting at rather higher rates, and a good business has been transacted in Cognac at 5s ld to 5s 3d for first brands of the vintage of 1836, 4s lld to 5s ld for ditto 1837, and at 4s 7d to 4s 9d for ditto 1838: in Bourdeaux purchases have been made at 2a 8d to 2s 9d per gallon : if the merchants would take ld under the rates quoted above for 1838 it would lead to the disposal of large parcels. The prevailing opinion is, that if any alteration in the duty is made it will be fixed at 15s. In Geneva a fair business has been trans acted at 2s to 2s Id. In German Gin sales have been made at Is Bd. British Corn Spirits have been in fair request at 9s 10d; the distillers complain much of this unremunerating price, and some houses are not disposed to make contracts for any length of time thereat. SPICES —This afternoon the public sales consisted of 634 bags Pepper, "00 pkgs Cloves, 52 pkgs Mace, and 29 pkgs Nutmegs. Pepper sold at its full value, viz. good heavy Malabar shot kind at 4id to 40, ord and fair Sumatra at 34 to 4d. Cloves went at Is 3d to 2s 4d. Mace at 2s 3d to 5s Id. Nutmegs at 3s 4d to 4s 4d, being all full prices. Rice.—. This afternoon the biddings were languid at the public sales, consisting of 5274 bags, a small part only of which found buyers, but the merchants refused to reduce their pretensions; mid and good mid white Java fetched 10s to lls per cwt. TE4. —The market for free trade has been in it very (lull state all the week, speculators having ceased to make invest ments, and the trade buying very cautiously, being disposed to wait until accounts are received from Canton, upon which faith may be placed; on the other hand the principal holders have refused to sell on lower terms, and our general quotations re main the same as last week ; but some small holders, who have to meet their prompts which fall due to-day and to-morrow, have been compelled to make a sacrifice for money, and have ac cepted 2s. $d to 2s 9d for common Congou, and 2s 10(1 to 2s lOid for common Twankay, at these rates, however, all the parcels offering have been taken : a few parties whose confi dence has been shaken by the tenor of the conflicting advices received from Canton on Saturday last, have made sales in com mon Congou with a prompt at 2s 10d to 2s 10id, and Twankay at 2s Ild to 2s Hid, but the operations have been of no moment, in fact in the present state of the market it is difficult to quote prices accurately : the leading holders still entertain a good opinion of the article. In Company's Congou there has not been much passing, and prices have fallen from 2s 9d to 2s 9id for cash, and 2s lOid t o 2 s 1 l i d with a two and three months prompt. The deliveries of Tea are still large, notwithstanding the late rise in prices, and last week exceeded 400,000 lbs. The cargo of the " Marmion," a British vessel, consisting of 5000 packages Tea, has been allowed to be admitted at the 2s ld duty, although the Tea was brought from Canton to Hong Kong by the Americans, and put on board : it appears to be the intention of the Customs to allow all cargoes from China in British Bottoms to pass at the same rate of duty, al though the Tea may have been obtained by the means a bove stated ; but the ge nera l op i n i on i s, that the quantity obtained by this resource will not be of much moment, and the price) will come high to the importers. To-day there was scarcely any demand for Free Trade Tea; but weak holders were not inclined to submit to any further decline in prices: the principal merchants still display much firmness, and will not reduce their pretensions; no improve ment, in business curl be expected to take place until after the arrival of the Overland Mail, which may be daily expected, and is locked for with much anxiety by all parties connected with Tea. Company's Congou still finds few buyers; the latest quotations were 2s 9d to 2s Ilfd for money and with prompts. The Catalogues out for the next sale contain 40,000 packages. T.._ hinioo.—A fair demand has prevailed for Bengal since we last wrote The rates established at the quarterly sales have been fully maintained, and well bought goods have fetched 2d to 3d advance. Madras at last sales rates. The total quan tity changed hands since the sales, amounts to nearly 700 chests chiefly at 4s 6d to 75 6d. Spanish has maintained its former currency. TALLOW.—For Russian Tallow in the early part of the week, there were sellers at 49s 6d on the spot and for delivery in the next two months, but dur;ng the last two days the demand has much improved, and a large business has been transacted in P. Y. Candle at the advanced rates of 49s 9d to 50s for first quality. For delivery in the next two months, 49s 6d to 49s 9d. For delivery in the last three months there are buyers at 48s. This afternoon the demand was brisk for P. Y. Candles on the spot, as well as for delivery in March and April, and the price on 'Change was 50s for the former, and 49s 9d to 50s for the latter purpose. For delivery in November and December next some saes were made at 48s 3d per cwt, and the market closed with a firm appearance. OlLS.—Prices of Linseed Oil have improved since we last wrote 6d a 9d per cwt, there has been a brisk demand at 23s to 23s 3d for immediate delivery, and there are not further sel ers excepting at the latter figure; for forward delivery there are buyers, to a fair extent, but the crushers are generally un willing to sell from the cause we stated last week. Rape has improved to 36s 6d to 37s for pale, and 3556 d to 36s for brown. Olive the tendency of prices is upwards. Palm at 33/. 105 to 341. East India Cocoa Nut 423 to 43s 6d. Pale Seal at 291 to 30/. Cod at 281 15s to 29/. Sperm fine quality has com manded 111/ to 1121 per tun. F- ITZWIGGINS, THE ENGLISH ADVENTURER, ♦ Novin..—The author of " Sydenham" has here in the form of an autobiography given us the adventures of an English Gil Blas of modern days, whose vocation, that of a superior servant, affords ample room for the introduction of every variety of character ; these sketches are given in a spirit of wholesome and well -meant sa'ire, which, though occasionally directed against individuals, opens its chief fire upon the follies and vices of society. One of the personalities in which the author has indulged, is the introduction of the " The Marquis"—of Lancashire. Of the many freaks attributed to this well-known nobleman one is humorously given in this novel. A certain reporter to a scandalous Sunday newspaper had been detected at a grand " feed" given by his Lordship, and who was evidently there for the purpose of furnishing a flaming paragraph for the following publication. Upon the guests becoming acquainted with th e c h aracter of the individual, it was agreed, after some discussion, that the unhappy wretch should be conveyed to the neighbourhood of Pentonville, and there turned out after the manner of a bagged fox. This was done, and a most animated chase took place. We now take our leave of this work, which is by no means deficient in talent, or, best of all, fun.-- Parthenon. NEW EDITION OF SIR E. L. BULWER'S WORKS —The first vo l ume of this new and beautiful edition has now appeared, and bids fair to rival all the cheap and elegant editions of our popular authors that have yet been published. It contains the whole of the popular tale of " Rienzi, printed on a fine paper, in a volume of nearly six hundred pages, with very superior embellishments from Maclise and Creswick, price only six shillings.
