THE SUN, LONDON, 01 Wiling LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1847. RICHARD COBDEN will speedily return to England —to England which he has liberated from the thral dom of monopoly—to England, where his eloquence and his patriotism have been so gloriously manifested in the great victory achieved over the ignorance and selfishness of generations. Since his departure from us in the first blush of his commercial triumph, our distinguished countryman has received the congratu lations of the continental and peninsular multitude, of enterprising merchants, and of enlightened princes. Unattended and untrumpetted, save by the voice of his pacific fame, this simple cotton printer of England has received such an ovation during his passage throughout Europe as uncrowned head never received before—spontaneously. In the chivalrous land of the Cm he has been welcomed with acclamation, in the kingdom which gave birth to BAYARD, in the home of the Roman conquerors, on the shores of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, he has been feasted and ap plauded. From the lips of King LOUIS PHILIPPE, of the Sovereign of the two Sicilies, of the Monarch of Sardinia, and of POPE PIES IX., Mr. COBDEN has heard the expressions of royal approval of the prin ciples of free trade. In Bordeaux, in Paris, in Cadiz, in Madrid, in Genoa, in Naples, in Rome, in Florence, in Turin, and elsewhere, the prominent orator of the renowned League has received the felicitations of those who are most competent to pronounce an opinion upon the most rational system of exchanging the productions of nature and the fabrications of in genuity. After this triumphal journey,' after having participated in the solemn funereal ceremonies attendant upon the deceased Liberator of Ireland, RICHARD COBDEN will return homewards, we ear nestly trust with a renovated constitution. Let us welcome our illustrious fellow-citizen in a manner befitting ourselves as men conscious of the advantages resulting from an emancipated commerce, and in a manner due to himself as a distinguished public benefactor. An admirable opportunity is af forded just now by the announcement of the com mittee of the Cobden Testimonial that the proper time appears to have arrived for the closing of the contributions. With that announcement the sum already accumulated is declared to have reached a magnificent total of 80,4831. 13s. Bd. Considering the financial pressure which has so long cramped the operation of the money market, and materially inter fered with individual interests, we do conceive that we are justified in calling this a mag nificent expression of national sympathy and gratitude. Previously we have recommended that the difference should, if possible, be realised, and that the fund, having already exceeded eighty thousand pounds sterling, should, by a vigorous movement on the part of the committee, and a generous co operation on the part of the community, be carried to the complete amount of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. To say that such a requisition would be unreason able - were preposterous. The blessings bestowed upon the contemporary million, and upon all future gene rations, through the instrumentality of RICHARD COB DEN —through the oratorical masterpieces by which he elicited the eulogiums of the Prime Minister — and especially through the gratuitous toil by which he destroyed his :domestic comforts and undermined his 'bodily health—are utterly incalculable. Our recommendation then is most moderate and most rational. The sum still required to complete the golden plum which we would see presented by the natic‘n to its patriotic chieftain is surely of compara tive !insignificance, namely, 19,5161. 6s. 4d. Cannot this :be obtained with sufficient rapidity to anticipate the closing of the Testimonial Fund ? Why, a half] envy subscription from every enfranchised free tract? r would do it in a fortnight ; or a sixpence ad ditional from those who have already forwarded their donattions would carry the gift to the desired maxi mum. We offer our suggestion with all earnest ness ; let there be but a quick response in copper piece s, and the hundred thousand pounds will, within three weeks, be in the possession of the committee. On the return of RICHARD COBDEN to England, them fore, the National Testimonial might be presented to hi m at some appropriate monster demonstration, say :in the vicinity of his old successes, at the Their tre Royal Drury-lane. Banquets have been given to RICHARD COBDEN by congenial fo reign ers ; let us afford him a similar welcome on his restoi nation to us, let us gladden his heart with the souno; I of English cheers, and tender him a fitting testis i ionial for his national and patriotic services—a testis] ionial of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. T; ,•te Secretary of State for the Home Department, in m c ,wing last night the committal of the Prisons Bill :and the Custody of Offenders Bill, explained the Miniu;terial policy and intentions with respect to the more, serious cases of secondary punishments in a speect h of singular clearness and ability, which de serves ily elicited the approbation of the House. For man:" years past the Legislature has adopted a more mitigated code for the repression of crime. Very man: y cases, formerly visited with the ex treme penalty of the law, now only subject the offend er to the loss of liberty, either by a prolonged term of imprisonment, or what is known to the law as tr t nsportation, whether for life or a term of years. In m 4 my of these cases the widest discretion is neces saril27 entrusted to the presiding judge, who will have it in his power either to expatriate the crimi . 2 nal from his native land for the re mainc ler of his life, or to dismiss him with the inflict ion of a nominal fine, or a brief detention in custody. Capital punishment has been practically abolis; ied, save in cases of wilful and aggravated murds r ; all offences, therefore, against property, and all agi Linst the person not involving the death of the aggris ved party, are treated as secondary crimes, and v i s it e d on ly with xpermaary punishments. It be comet, , therefore, a matter of the deepest interest to the people generally, who have cordially assented to the . p 1 esent more humane state of the law, that the seco ui lary punishments should be placed on a sound and v 1 rholesome footing, so as at the same time to re press- crime, by creating a salutary dread of its in evita, b le consequences; and, secondly, to afford the most reasc z able prospects for the reformation of the cul prit, : aid his restoration to society on some future occe,sii a wiser and a better man. To the attain men t of these points, the discipline to which he -s1 aall be subjected, the place and man ner of his confinement should be directed. It is due to those who yield a prompt and ready ob( 3(lience to the law, that they should be protected in tThe full enjoyment of their rights and privileges, tilt A no morbid feelings of sensibility for those con ed of crimes and misdemeanours should encourage otl if3rs to commit similar offences. It is not for the sal i e of vengeance that the majesty of the law is vindicated, but that a warning and ex an de might be held out to all. This primary obj ct being attained, it is incumbent upon us, as a b umane and Christian people, to win back our erring breth ren f rom th e pa th s o f v i ce, to tel h them their duty as members of society, to in d' ac( them, if possible, to earn their dailyby bread the e. re: c i se of their honest on i est industry, and to remove them f :cm every tempt temptation by which th ey may b e i n d uce d d .e.moralization. similar ° to .er errors—into a s t a t e o f t, ) re l apse into that from w hi c h th ey h ave Jean for a time re c l a i med ila te Thed to in niste rial those plan just dev e l e p e 1 n naz ars well cal great objct: rc . lakes th e onvict go through a variety of prob at i o gradually yresitaates, attain o it i ea ch of which the severity is -And his situat ion rendered more tolera ble. His pro' gress from one of those stages to another wilt be mainly dependent on himself on the Rvidencoa FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 4,000 bales, including 400 American for export. The market closed quietly with prices of American, Surat, and Egyptian un changed. Brazil was % I d. higher. The business consisted of 500 Egyptian, at 7 1 / 2 d. to 8 1 d. ; 500 Surat, at 4d. to 4%d. ; 400 Pernams and Illaranhams, at 7d. to Bd. ; and the remainder American, at 61! 2 d. to 74d. per lb. The prospects of the Money Market will not be clearly ascertained until it is seen how far the Government can overcome the difficulties which in some measure appear to exist in connexion with Exchequer-bills. Report states that money will be demanded for them to the amount of one or two millions sterling, and great curiosity is, therefore, felt to ascertain whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer will fund, raise the interest, or get the as s i s t ance of the Bank, in co-operation with other wealthy establishments, to take the new bills, and get them out gradually on the market. Most likely the payments on the loan have fur nished ample funds to meet the claims of dissentients. The author of some letters, which appeared in The Sun newspaper of the year 1843, under the signature of " luta," considering that our present monetary difficulties offer a esasonable opportunity again to bring forward his suggestions, and that a "Correct Monetary System" is essential to a " Free Trade System," remarks that—" The injustice of the present system, which requires the Bank of England always to provide gold at 3/. 17s. 10 1 ,1 2 d. per ounce, though the di rectors may be compelled to give 4/. per ounce for it, is obvious; and its inexpediency, as it regards the British public, has been shown in my former letters. All mer cantile men know how dreadfully they h ave b een punished to meet their pecuniary engagements at those periods when the export of bullion has been a profitable transaction ; yet nobody can with propriety blame the direc tors of the Bank for having refused to supply, at those times, the usual amount of accommodation to their custo mers, seeing that a more liberal policy would have enda n • gered the safety of that establishment. Rather let blame be attached to that law which put it out of the power of the directors to administer the ample resources of the establish ment with a steady and uniform liberality." The illustration is given as follows : " The panic of 1825 shows how individual selfishness may be tempted, under our present monetary system, to act pre judicially to the public welfare. But, assume the market price system of cash payments to have been in operation at that time, and the result would have been widely different. For the sake of argument, we may admit, that the extrava gant speculations of 1824 had taken place, and that, from the extraordinary facilities which this country then afforded for borrowing money , and the increased value it commanded abroad, an export of the precious metals had commenced, which threatened to drain the coffers of the Bank of England. All that the directors need to have done in such a case, under the assumed system, would have been to offer to give or take gold, in its relations to British bills, after the same rate of value that the gold commanded abroad. This would at once have checked any unnatural demand, whilst any legitimate and natural demand would have been sup plied upon fair commercial terms. But the most important part of the case would have been, that the Bank could then have safely continued to supply bank-notes for all domestic transactions of our merchants, without any danger of being called on immediately afterwards to give gold for them upon cheaper terms than they could buy it." There have been some few money sales of stock again to day, but as the corn market is dull, prices are kept tolerably steady. Consols have been 88 1 / 9 to 88% for present transfer, and 88% % for July. Exchequer-bills are firmer, at 2s. to 4s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 89. Bank Stock is firm at 195. In the Foreign Investments the business done has not been of any extent. The accounts from Lisbon have not depressed the value of Portuguese Stock below 32% 1 / s , because there are adverse statements as to whether the Junta will accept our mediation. Spanish Three per Cent. Stock has been quoted 34. Grenada Bonds have been at 20. Dutch Four per Cents. are 89% to 90, and Russian Bonds are 110. Railway Shares have been very dull to-day, but are look ing up again, and in general cannot fail to be benefited by Legislative interference to check calls. BRITISH FUNDS TIIIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The master of the steamer Levantine, arrived at Constantinople, 14th ult., reports having been fired into from the Castles in the Dardanelles, on attempting the passage after sunset, and directed to anchor until sunrise. may afford of a healthier state of feeling, on the pro priety and rectitude of his conduct from the com mencement of his sentence. The separate system is held in the greatest dread by those who care little for imprisonment, so long as they are allowed to associate with others, to boast of their former exploits, to corrupt their companions, and to harden themselves in their guilt and their depravity. The silence and seclusion that attends the separate system gives time for reflection ; the criminal, too, is removed from the ridicule with which guilty associates are too much in the habit of treating any symptoms of amendment evinced by any of their companions, and by which too often they succeed in banishing the better feelings that are struggling into existence and nipping them in the bud. On his removal from this state the prisoner will not, however, be imme diately cast loose ; he will enter into the second stage of punishment, in which he will be employed on public works, either in this country or in some of our colonies, where his services may be wanting. Here, also, the strictest surveillance will be kept up over his conduct. From thence his condition will be gradually ameliorated, and his ultimate release will depend, not on the time he may have been confined alone, but on the quantity of his industrial labour, assisted by good conduct. It is not the least favourable part of the present plan that it introduces no new machinery, that there is nothing theoretical or experimental proposed—it is merely a judicious arrangement of existing materials and existing disci pline brought into use in a regular mode of pro gression. We certainly have no great confidence in the law as laid down under the authority of the judges who at present preside in the Court of Queen's Bench. It is at all times invidious to draw distinctions; but since the characters of public men are, to a certain extent, public property, we would remark, that whilst we should place little reliance upon the collective wisdom of the Court in question upon any important point that might be submitted to their decision, we should be disposed to waive our impression in favour of any isolated opinion of Mr. Justice PATTESON. Still, to the Court of Queen's Bench, such as it is, all matters affecting life and liberty are peculiarly re ferred. A decision was given yesterday, which, it appears to us, demands some significant observations. A person named KEINING, who had been com mitted to prison for forty days, on an order of the Commissioner for the Sheriffs' Court, for hav ing failed to pay an instalment of 21., was brought up under a writ of habeas corpus and claimed his dis charge, inter alia, upon the ground that he ought to have been summoned and heard as to the reasons of his default before he was taken into custody. Upon this, the main point, the Judges were equally divided in opinion, Lord DENMAN and Mr. Justice ERLE, on the one side, resisting, Justices PATTESON and COLE RIDGE, on the other, approving of the application. Hereupon the prisoner was remanded. Not denying it to be according to precedent that, where the judges of a superior court are balanced in their sentiments with respect to any proceeding of another court, the latter should be upheld in its deci sion, we think that, apart from the importance of the subject, where personal liberty is involved, reason demands that this practice should be discontinued. Even when the appeal is made from the opinion of a judge of equal rank to those of the appellant court, we should still support this view; for, although it might be urged that we should then have virtually three out of five judges of equal dignity agreeing in opinion, and therefore the prisoner should not be re leased, yet it is to be remembered that a question is always presumed to be more elaborately argued in a full court, that continued reflection may have fur nished new arguments, and that "in the council of ' the multitude there is wisdom ;" and it is. not to be presumed but that if the judge, whose original decision is excepted to, were present when it is solemnly reviewed, he might be disposed to consider it erroneous. But, be this as it may, when the opinions of the superior judges are equally divided in regard to the act of a judge of an inferior court, a fortiori we would urge that the presumption of law, in favorem libertatis, should prevail, and especially where, as between the judge of a sheriff's court and the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, the differ ence in point of experience, learning, and ability may be taken vastly to preponderate in favour of the latter. We hope the observations we have thio-e,, out will quickly engage the attention of the judicial authorities and of the Legislature, and the more so since the principle of law is, that where a doubt exists the prisoner is entitled to the benefit; and certainly, in the case we are treating of, and for the reasons we have advanced, he should not be deprived of it. W e are glad to perceive that steps have been already taken in the Common Pleas for impeaching the soundness of the respective opinions of Lord DENMAN and Mr. Jus tice ERLE in Mr. KEINING'S case. We shall, there fore, upon a future occasion, proceed to show that the prisoner was entitled, both by the spirit and letter of Bth and 9th Vic., c. 127, to the summons, as urged in his late unsuccessful application. The Madrid papers of the 28th ult. contain no news of any importance. MADRID, BOLSA, MAY 28.—Three per Cents. 30 to 30f, Five per Cents. 20k, Passive 5i to 6. Ex change on London 49. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. In the Chamber of Deputies, M. GUIZOT stated that he considered it his duty, in the present state of affairs, to decline giving any explanations relating to the intervention in the affairs of Portugal. The Moniteur announces that the Government had received accounts from the Bourbon station, dated the 2d of January. The Belle Poule, having suf fered considerably in her masts and rigging during the hurricane of the 15th of December, was then undergoing repairs at Sainte Marie, Madagascar, and would soon be able to put to sea. The corvette Berceau had sailed from Bourbon the day before the Belle Poule. The commander of the station hoped that she had not experienced more injury than the Belle Poule, but he nevertheless felt much uneasi ness as to her fate. The hurricane had been ex tremely violent, and the frigate Belle Poule, " hav ing no wind to fill her sails, was a long time lying on her side unable to rise." The Archimede steamer was to be dispatched in quest of the Berceau. The Marshal DE GROUCHY died on the 29th ult. at St. Etienne, in the 82d year of his age. His body has been brought into Paris. He has left three children, Major-General Count ALPHONSE DB GROUCHY, Colonel DE GROUCHY, of the Hussari, and the Marchioness D'ORMESSON. The Courrier Francais states that the fortifications of Paris are so badly built, that they are already fall ing down. Questions are to be addressed to the Minister on this subject in the Chamber. Letters from Toulon of the 30th ult. announce that the squadron commanded by the Prince DE JOINVILLE had sailed from the Island of Hyeres in the direction of the coast of Africa. According to the Sentinelle de Toulon, it was to proceed to Algiers. Orders have been received at Rochefort to put on the stocks two second-class frigates, the Circe and Flore, and to carry them up to 6-24ths in 1847. The first-named has been placed on the stocks lately oc cupied by the Inflexible, and the other will be placed on those occupied by the Renommee, which is to be launched towards the end of July. Orders have been given for the launch of the Heliopolis, a third-class vessel. The steam-frigate the Mogador, of 650- horse power, is being pushed forward with activity, and will be launched at the end of the year. The accounts of the growing crops published in the French papers continue ,to be most satisfactory. The Mayor of Lyons had given notice to the in habitants that, in consequence of the splendid appear ance of the crops and the fall in the price of grain, the distribution of bread-tickets to the indigent classes would cease on the sth instant.

A very moderate supply of English Wheat has arrived hither, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, since Monday. Owing to the very favourable accounts which continue to rea c h us re l at i ve to the grow i ng cro ps, and the steadyimports of Foreign Grain, the firmness noticed in the demand on Wednesday was not o b ser ved to-day ;in fact, the trade was excessively heavy, and, to have effected sales, a trifling reduction in value must have been submitted to by the holders. In Foreign Wheat, the imports of which this week have been about 10,000 quar ters, exceedingly little was doing, at late rates. We had a: very sl ow sa l e for B ar l ey a t barely stationary prices. Malt was in good supply, and heavy demand, at almost nominal figures. Oats, Beans, and Peas, as well as the second qualities o f Flour, might have been purchased at lower terms. nziLh ......

The supply of Beasts here being small, and the attendance of buyers somewhat extensive, the Beef trade was very firm, at, in some instances, a further improvement in value of 2d per 81bs; the primest Scots realising without difficulty.ss 4d per 81bs. There were on sale 180 Beasts from Scotland? 336 Oxen and Cows, 1,230 Sheep and Lambs, and 108 Calves from Holland and Germany. With Sheep we were tidily supplied. Comparatively spea ki ng the Mutton trade was inactive, but late rates were well supported. Prime Down Lambs sold freely, at full prices, viz., from 6s 10d to 7s per but sliotlist Wads were 24 pig eLbs !ewer, with a bevy inquiry. From the Isle of Wight, 445 head came to band. Calves, the supply of which was great, sold heavily, at from 2d to 4d per Sibs less money. Pigs were very dull, and the turn cheaper.

A considerable increase in fly being apparent im many of the best grounds, both in Sussex and Kent, more firmness is manifested on the part of the holders of all kinds of Hops. A few parcels of the best qualities have sold at Is to 3s per cwt more money; but in the value of all other kinds we have no alteration to notice. Sussex pockets, 31 18s to 41 6s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 41 4s to 5/ 12s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 4112 s to 616 s per cwt. COLONIAL. SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been dull, and holders having been free sellers, buyers have had the advantage, especially as regards the lower qualities. Ber bice mid grey has been sold at 40s ; Chrystalised Demerara very fine at 56s ; and Brown at 41s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. REYLNED.—Standard Lumps have been 61s 6d to 64s per cwt. EAST INDIA.-3,846 bags Bengal sold at 6d to is decline, and white Benares, 45s 6d ; fine grainy sound yellow, 49s 6d to 525; and fine brown, 41s to 41s 6d. MAURITIUS.—There has been a moderate business doing on rather lower terms. China, 3,924 bags were taken in at about former rates; low yellow, 40s 6d to 41s 6d; and damp 40s to 40s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—There have been no public sales of any import ance. COFFEE.—There has not been much demand for West India samples. Jamaica has been sold at 37s to 65s per cwt. Ceylon has been 2s lower for Plantation qualities, at 56s to 70s. Real good ord has been sold at 38s, and good ord 37s to 37s 6d. Fine mid coloury Plantation 89s, pea berry 665, and some superior samples .955. Calicut has been sold at 55s 6d to 593 per cwt. Java has realised 31s 6d to 32s per cwt. There has been some good ord red Mauritius sold at 28s to 30s. Mocha has been taken in at 65s to 68s per cwt. RICE.—The market is rallying a little under the influence of the advance in corn. Madras has been taken in at 18s per cwt. At auction, about 10,000 bags and 3,000 pockets Bengal have found buyers at 17s to 21s; and privately a large business has been done in good mid white, at 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. COCOA..—Fine Red Grenada has been sold at 57s to 57s 6d, and mid greyish at 535.

TALLOW.—The demand is geod for P.Y.C. at 49s 6d to 50s per cwt. on the spot, and at 47s 9d for the last three months. MA.—There has been very little doing. SALTPETRE.—BengaI has been sold at 28s 6d to 29s for 4 and 51,4 lbs refraction. INDIGO.—Since the sales, which terminated on the 25th ult., we have not heard of any transactions in this article. By our advices from Calcutta we learn that the greater por tion of the Indigo remaining on hand had been sold at an advanced rate ; the long-continued drought had been suc ceeded by plentiful rain, from which Jessire, Kishnagur, and the adjoining districts, had derived great benefit. The season thus far is considered as most favourable. TOBACCO.—The market was very much neglected last month, sales not having exceeded 400 hhds. The trade ma nifested a general indisposition to increase their stocks, and the business done was principally in selections for immediate use. At this period of the year, except under peculiar cir cumstances, operations are very limited; but for some weeks past thin has been observable, and it is more than probable that the demand has been in some measure contracted by the unsettled state of monetary affairs; prices have, nevertheless, been fully supported, and we have seen no desire to effect sales under previous quotations. Advices from the United States, received on the 31st ult., state prices have been very firm, with an upward tendency, and this also applies to some of the European markets. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor heard unopposed lunatic petitions, appral motions, and appea.s to-day, but no case of any public interest came before his Lordship during the whole morning. VICE-CHANCERY--(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England wcs occu pied the whole morning with unopposed cause petitions and short causes. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) No cases of public interest were heard in either this or the Bail Court during the morning. BANKRUPTCY.—( THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE FISHER. In this case the bankrupt, who had carried on business as a sworn broker in Thames-street, came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Pimar examined him at great length, and elicited that he had bought and sold on his own account, and entered the transactions in his books under the firm of Smith and Co., in order to prevent his clerks from knowing his transactions. The bankrupt hesitated answering questions as to whether he yrsn not avirArA that ha WAR Ilinhihiteti, fining n awora broker, from buying or selling on his own account. Mr. Putior insisted that as the question was not one which tended to criminate the bankrupt, that he was bound to answer—he could at all events only be liable to a civil action on his bond. Mr. LAWRENCI said there could be no objection to an swering. The bankrupt said the question had never been settled by the Court of Aldermen. The further examination was not of general interest, and the bankrupt was allowed to pass. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAmms.) MARGETTS V. PINNELL. This was an inquiry to assess damages by way of compen sation for injuries suffered by the plaintiff through the negligence of the defendant's servants. The plaintiff suffered judgment to go by default. The Learned SECONDARY said it was a great pity the parties could not agree upon the amount of the compensation, for it was quite clear that although no personal blame at tached to the defendant he was liable for the negligence of his servants if any accident occurred to other persons. The facts appeared to be very simple. The plaintiff, who is an elderly female, was passing down Watling-street when the defen dant's men were letting down a barrel from the cart, and it unfortunately fell and broke the plaintiff's leg. It would be very easy for the parties to agree. Mr. CHARNOCX, for the plaintiff, said he, and Mr. Phinn , for the defendant, thought that the best coarse, but as the parties were not present, they could not consent. Evidence was then adduced to show that the large bone of the plaintiff's right leg had been broken, and that she had been confined to her bed about ten weeks, and the sur gical bill amounted to 141. Plaintiff is an elderly female, 73 years of age, and likely to feel pain from the injury as long as she lives. Mr. l'Huirt addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. The jury gave a verdict for 401. The plaintiff is a widow, and defendant an oilman in the Minories. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Emma Taylor, a woman of questionable character, was charged before Mr. Hardwick with stealing from the person of Mr. William Gordon, Princes-row, Pimlico, a silver watch, value 51. The prosecutor stated, that about two o'clock this morn ing he was proceeding along Pall-mall, when the prisoner came up to him and requested him to treat her. He re fused to do so, and endeavoured to get quit of' her company. She still persisted in following him, and on arriving at the corner of St. James's-square she laid hold of his coat and attempted to detain :him : whilst he was struggling with her two men came up, and spoke to her. She then ran away, followed by the men. Prosecutor suspecting something was wrong by her precipi• tate retreat, felt for his watch, and was surprised to find that it had been cut clean from the guard-chain. Prosecutor went in pursuit of the prisoner, and came up with her ia Carlton-gardens He taxed her with the robbery, which she stoutly denied. A police-constable at that time came up, into whose , custody she was at once consigned. Police-sergeant, 18 C, proved receiving charge of the pri soner and convej ;higher to the station, where she was searched by the female employed for that purpose, and the watch found upon her.. The prisoner in defence said she was very drunk, and could not account for the watch being in her possession. Mr. HARDVa CK committed her for trial. THJI.MES.—(THIS DAY.) John Edward Es was charged by Catherine Briggs, a mar ried woman, res iding at No. 5, Brunswick-street, St. George's East, with ha• ving broken open a box and abstracted a pocket• book an .d ticket§ for prize-money now due, amount ing to upwards of 501., the property of her husband, who has lately returned . to England in the Maria Soames, transport shi p. From her ow, n statement, it appeared that she asked the prisoner, whom she had never seen before, to write a letter for her. He consented, and accompanied her home for that purpose. She then told him all her affairs, mentioning the prize-money,. arid that it was now due, and showed him where it was de' posited, adding it was the amount due to her husband, who• had been a seaman on board her Majesty's ships Wasp,. ZStar, Prometheus, &c., for slavers captured by those v visels. After some little time, she went out to get si )me tea, leaving the prisoner in the room with her sister. . After a few minutes had elapsed, the prisoner said to her : sister, " Had'nt you better go and meet Mrs. Briggs," as I want her to make haste back ;" adding, as an inducement, that he would " stand some gin and beer." To this propositi on she foolishly consented, and having met her sister, they be Ith returned together, when as might have been expected, the r lisoner was gone, the box was broken open, and the pocket -book, prize-money, &c., gone too. Informa tion was give! t to the police, and the prisoner was sub sequently ap , pr thended. On being si san:: hed the prize tickets produced were found in his boots. The prisoner r nade no defence, and was committed for trial. THE COER7 '.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert are expected to a rrive at Buckingham Palace about six o'clock this aft ernoon, from Windsor Castle. His Imperia . 1 Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia is e xpected to return to Mivart's Hotel this day, from a isit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. Lu refe - te , ace to the proceedings inserted in our Journal ye a t erday, "The Queen v. Smerden ;" we are autho rised to sti af_i that no solicitation for forbearance, nor overture of compror rise, will be listened to by Miss Cook and her triends. Ile calumny is of too atrocious and malicious a character to be overlooked by any apology or contradiction that may offerred by the libeller. ExPoir TATION Or BULLION.—On Tuesday the ship Orator, Cap tain Intea, left the SL Katherine Dock with a large smoluit;of nada on board, for the Cape of Good Hope. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. A Select Committee, consisting of the following Noblemen —the Duke of Cleveland (Chairman), Earl Somers, Earl Morley, Lord Warwick, and Lord Tenterden—met to-day in Room D of the House of Lords, to consider the following Bill : GLASGOW, PAISLEY, ICILIVIAIVNOCIt, AND AYE, AND GLASGOW AND BELFAST UNION (No. I.) Mr. TALBOT opened the case, intimating that the only petitioners against the Bill were the trustees of Lord Ailsa, with whom an arrangement had been made. The scheme was therefore unopposed. The usual proofs were then given, and the Committee de cided that the preamble was proved. The clauses were then agreed to, and the Chairman in structed to report the Bill to the House. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP 11. The Committee met at the usual hour this morning. READING, GuiLDrestn, AND REIGATE DEVIATION. The Committee passed the clauses in this Bill, and directed :he Chairman to report the same the House. The Committee then adjourned. GROUP 111. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock; Mr. Ver non in the chair. LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND SOUTH COAST (LONDON-BRIDGE STATION EN LARGEMENT AND ARRANGEMENT). This Bill was proceeded with. Mr. Downes, C.E., was examined as to the engineering features of the scheme, and the mode in which it would affect St. Thomas's Hospital. GROUP XVIII. GLOUCESTER AND STOREHOUSE. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock (the Earl of Lincoln in the chair), when they took the evidence of Mr. Brunel against the proposed line, the object being to elicit the probable inconveniences which would ensue from the break of gauge and from the mixture of the gauges. In the course of the examination Mr. Brunel stated that he was the original engineer of the Gloucester and Bristol line, and that it cost upwards of 98,000/., the line being seven miles long; but a material consideration in forming the agreement between the Great Western and the North-Western Companies was the daily expenses of keeping the line. The sum now paid for the use of the station at Bristol is 1,500/. a year. At Gloucester there is a broad gauge station, so that the Bristol and the London traffic both run into the same platform. GROUP XXXII. This Committee met to-day at the usual hour ; Mr. T. S. Duncombe in the chair. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN COLNSHIRE (BRANCH TO CHAPEL TOWN, &c.) Mr. HOPE opened the case on behalf of this scheme. GROUP XXIV. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD EXTENSIONS, The Committee met this morning (Lord Rendlesham in the 'chair) when they stated that in consequence of not having received the report of the Railway Commissioners, they were unable to give their decision, and therefore they adjourned till Thursday week.

The Committee met this day in Room 28; Sir Denis le aiarchant in the chair. Evidence was taken for the promoters of the EDINBURGH AND PERTH. Mr. Graham Montgomerie, landed proprietor in Kinross gave evidence as to the superior character of this line over its rivals. It would be the only line, in fact, that would ac commodate the county with which he was connected. Mr. Williamson, mineral engineer, said that the line would open up one of the richest mineral fields in Scotland, covering an area of 36 square miles, which was at present lost for want of a market. The district was also very rich in limestone and black brick ironstone, which would all be greatly worked when the Edinburgh and Perth Railway should be completed. COMMITTEE ON PRIVATE BILLS. (TIIIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL WATERWORKS, The Committee met this morning, at twelve o'clock—Sir J. Johnstone in the chair—when the consideration of th e clauses was again proceeded with, the authorities for Wigan contending that due notice had not been given of the nature of the clauses by which they were affected; and the oßposition proceeds as animatedly as heretofore. PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 4. The Tiger arrived from the Peninsula this morning. We have received by her accounts from Lisbon to the 29th ult. The Bulldog arrived from England on the 27th, with important dispatches. The impression pre vailed that England was prepared to enforce the condi tions imposed by her by recourse to arms—if necessary; indeed, Sir J. Seymour had notified to the Junta and to Sada Bandeira that the ships of war at his disposal would be used to prevent the landing or transportation of their troops. A gocd deal of firing was heard in the direction of St. Übes on the 28th. Conflicting reports were in cir culation. One was that the Junta would yield; another, that it would fight to the last. The Gladiator crossed the bar of Oporto on the 29th, and came out crowded with English residents. Her dates of departure are as follow :—Gladiator, 25th May, 7.40 P.M. ; Cadiz, 26th ; Lisbon, 29th ; Oporto, 30th ; and Vigo, 31st.

At Vigo: Purtugese frigate Donna Maria and brig Douro, Spanish schooner Minerva, English schooner Oporto of Dublin. On the 3d of June the Tiger saw a large steamer with four masts, at 10 A.M., supposed the Great Western, sailing to the south westward. The Tiger brings 87 passengers from the various ports, many of whom have left in anticipation of the The fall in the grain markets of the French de partments becomes, according to the intelligence received by every mail, more confirmed, and alterations in prices of between 4f. and sf. per hectolitre are commonly reported. At Altkirch the decline is quoted from 12t. to 13f. per hecto litre, with scarcely any buyers, the supplies brought forward being beyond all expectation. The accounts from Sezanne, Auterive, Blere, Provins, and Orleans were highly favourable respecting the crops. It is understood that the Papal Government has favourably received the plan for a line of railway from Ancona to Milan, taking in its route Bologna, Modena, and Cremona, and joining at Cremon a a line lon g projected from Milan to Como, thence over the pass of Mount St. Bernard, or the Splugen. To effect th is p assa g e, . which it appears is neces sary to carry out thes e undertakings in their full integrity, Government engineers are now said i to be employed in level ling the spot for a line of tunnelling n order to lessen the dis tance of the usual route. The valley of the Upper Rhi ne from Chur is already surve y ed by Constance, and the com munication from Zurich to Basle will soon be opened. The route on each side of the Rhine will then conduct to a pro longation of the Great Luxemburg line, either by the Paris and Strasburg, which joins it at Metz, or by the line j o i n i ng Treves and Man heim ; a nd th e decision of the Belgian Go vernment to make the direct railway from Brussels to Ghent extends the Great Luxemburg in a continuous course to Ostend.

ARRACAN RICE. The subjoined extract of a letter from Major Bogle, who has been put in communication with the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce on the subject, and to wh ose exertions in his official character as C omm issioner of the province Arracan is stated to be greatly indebted for her present flourishing condition, will at once ‘ exemPlifY the rapid progress of the trade:— " By this opportunity I send you for submission to the society two small samples of Arracan rice, shipped on board the American ship Douglas, at Akyab, in January, 1846, and taken via China to Boston or New York, I forget which, I think the former, there clea ned by ma chinery, brought back in the Douglas to Ar racan, and presented to me a few weeks ago. No. 1, the finer kind, is Latooree; N 0.2 is Nakrinsee, our very coarsest grain; this latter, it will be observed, is very much broken, which the captain of the Douglas explained to me was owing to the machinery not having been adapted to so large a grain; but this, it is said, with a little trouble can be altered. Both kinds of rice were shipped as cargo rice, that is only half cleansed, at about 24rs. per 100 baskets of 12 seers of 85 tolabs each (such is the price at the present time); and I am informed by the exporter that when cleaned it sold in America at from one-fcurth to one-eighth of a cent less per lb. than Carolina rice. Now, I wish to fix attention particularly upon this fact, which I believe to be correctly stated, an d also upon the condition and appearance of the rice, as now trans mitted by me, after its having visited both C hina and America. and been more than thirteen months on its voyage ; and I think it must be admitted that the grain of Arracan, when properly treated, is perfectly adapted for any market in the world. I am now informed th at machinery similar to that by which these samples sver? cleaned has lately been set up in London , Liverpool, anti, most of the largest cities of Great Britain, as also 0 Antwerp, Hamburgh, Bordeaux, and other town nonce the continent of Europe, while in America the even more common. flints* of " I lately had an opportunity of seeing a sample It Nakrinsee rice which had been cleaned at Bordeaux. you; was even more perfect than that which I now send c. Fren and was given to me by the commander of a a ship which loaded about a month ago at Akyab 0 pra is cargo of rice, and sailed for Bordeaux. I may for mention that a large ship arrived about a week 131113 e, the purpose of conveying uncleaned rice and packlY to the steam-mills at Antwerp, it is believed, on account of b e very the Belgian Government ; so that there can little doubt that they have now got a description of Int" chinery at home, which adapts the grain of Arracan 1 "; perfectly to the European market as the grain of 11 % (Aber place in India. Large shipments are this seas being being made from Akyab to Europe, and a considers's e trade has sprung up with Bourbon, not heretofore a la r , customer ; and I cannot doubt but that when the Pi t ys becomes better known its commerce will vastly eggin _ - AT TEMPTED MURDER. this LUTTERWORTH, JUNE 2.—At an early hour morning the small village of Bitteswell was th rown i an a state of considerable excitement in consequence of agricultural labourer, named William Lambert, %gel!. thirty-two, cutting his wife's throat with a raz or, at about five e'clock this morning.
