WM- COBDEN, M.P., at FLORENCE. -- .F.ree-trade principles are gradually gaining ground in every part of Europe. The particulars of Mr. Cobden's triumphant march through France and Spain have already been amply recorded in the pages of this journal. From Spain the Hon. Member for Stockport proceeded to the other great peninsula of the south of E ur ope, where he has won the same golden opinions and been honoured with the same grand receptions. He has shaken hands with the Pope, and held familiar conver sations on his favourite topic with many of the savans !literati of Italy. Florence, the seat of the fine arts from time immemorial, and of free-trade for the last century, has not been backward in rendering homage to the representative of the enlightened principles of com mercial intercourse which bid fair soon to become the basis of all the fiscal codes of the continent. We have received from the Tuscan capital the particulars of a grand banquet in honour of the English free-trader, which took place there on the 29th ult. As many as 110 persons assembled in the magnificent gallery of the Borghese Palace, where the feast was prepared. The presidential chair was occupied by the Chevalier Vincenzo Peruzzi Gonfaloniere, of the city of Florence, and the select circle around him included many persons Ilistingiushed by name, by talents, and by fortune. The: guests having done justice to the delicious viands , end 'exquisite wines which oversprea d the table, the re sident rose and proposed the health of " the Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany, the Sovereign of the State." The Vice-President, Signor Emanuelle Fenzi, then ad dressed Mr. Cobden in Italian, as follows: " To the fervid and sincere prayers for a long and prosperous life, to the applause which you have received in other parts of Italy, and especially in the Eternal City, we are rejoiced to-day to be able to add those of our own Florence—Florence, in which letters, together with the arts and sciences, first revived after the dark ness of the middle ages, and which heard freedom of trade proclaimed in its bosom sixty-six years ago, thus giving a great example, by which, when it is developed and adopted by all nations, the misery of many millions of men will be relieved, and the most powerful obstacle that is opposed to the fraternity of nations—diversity o interests—removed.' Florence honours and admires in you, Sir, the head of that League' which, with imper turbable constancy, with immense sacrifices, and van quishing obstacles which appeared insuperable, effected in your country one of the greatest, and at the same time the most peaceful of revolutions, thus affording to the whole world the spectacle of the irresistible force with which an idea is developed when armed by science and the force of persuasion alone, and when with inde fatigable activity it is peacefully and legally sustained by worthy men. Continue your labours, 0 Richard! gather other laurels so much the more to be desired, because they are not stained with blood, but are covered with the benedictions of the human race. We shall continue to admire and to applaud you—we who--thanks to an enlightened prince, courageous in his endeavours to vanquish the prejudices of his age , and to p ut in practice t the liberal doctrines with which he was imbued—have experienced for three generations the efficacy of free trade in alimentary substances, which has averted from our country the scourge of famine; as the same freedom in trade, not excluding that of instruction, and the free interchange of immovable property produced by the abolition of fiefs, has banished distress from our land, or restricted it to its least painful limits, if the generous idea of the free interchange of produce and articles of commerce generally has become law in the great country to which you belong, the great example must be fol lowed by other nations. We offer, in the mean time, fervent prayers for your felicity and your glory, which is our own, and we cry with on© voice—Long live Richard Cobden !' " After the toast had been duly drunk, and the applause in a degree subsided, Mr. COBDEN rose and spoke as follows:—" Gentle men, I should feel much embarrassed if I believed that this splendid demonstration was intended as a personal compliment to myself; for, whatever may be thought of my merits in other countries, I can have no title to pre eminence as a free trader in an assembly of Tuscans. But, no; we meet here as brethren in a common faith, myself a younger brother, to unite our vows in favour of that commercial liberty which Tuscany, of all the nations of the earth, was the first to put in practice upon sound politico-economical principles. Other people, as for instance the Dutch and the Swiss, owing to the acci dentals of their geographical position, may have always enjoyed peculiar exemptions from commercial restric tions, but to Tuscany is undoubtedly due the glory of having preceded by half a century the rest of the world n the application of the theories of economical science to its legislation. Here political economy was first erected into a commercial code. Let us render a solemn homage to the memories of those men who gave to the world so great a lesson in statesmanship. Honour to Bandini, who a century ago discovered the truth —of which more than half the civilised world is still igno rant—that liberty of commerce is the only safeguard of nations; against the evils of scarcity, and their surest guide to agricultural and commercial prosperity ! Honour, immortal honour, to Leopold, who taking the torch of science from the hand of Bandini, entered upon the then dark and untrodden path of free trade, and guided only by its pure light, proceeded onwards with an unfaltering step, undeterred by the obstacles which ignorance, prejudice, and self-interest threw in his way! Honour to Neri, John Fabbroni, Fossombroni, and the rest who have preserved his great work from the attacks of sophistry in our day! These are the real benefactors of mankind, to whom we ought to decree honours and monuments, whose peaceful triumphs will shed blessings upon myriads yet unborn, long after the causes and con sequences of blood-stained victories are lost in oblivion and nothingness. Gentlemen, I am not in the habit of addressing my hearers in terms of flattery, and I should like it to be understood that the few words I have to acid are intended for those who may chance to read my remarks in other countries rather than as complimentary phrases offered to a Tuscan audience. Upon this my first visit to Italy, I have felt naturally curious to wit ness the effects of free trade, particularly in corn, upon the moral condition of a people. I must confess that I entered Tuscany with feelings of en thusiasm, such as a devotee experiences in visiting the shrine of his faith. But I have endeavoured to cast an impartial eye upon all that I have seen, and if what I state as the result of my observation be erroneous, it will be open to correction by others. During the last eight months I have been travelling in nearly all the countries of southern Europe, and I am bound to state, without wishing to disparage other nations, that I find the condition of the population of Tuscany superior to that of any other people I have visited. The surface of the country resembles that of a well-cultivated garden; the people are everywhere well-dressed; I have seen no beggars excepting a few lame or blind; and in this season of the general scarcity there is less of suffering from want of food here, with a perfect freedom of ex port and import of corn, than in probably any other country in Europe. I find such industries as are natural to Tuscany carried on with success, and that, in par ticular, of its indigenous straw manufacture has attained a development which has surprised me. But Ido not confine my observations to the material condition of the people. Where a country had enjoyed for fifty years the advantages of commercial liberty, I expected to find the spirit of free trade entering into the character of its people, abating their national prejudices, destroying the spirit of egotism, and imparting to them a sentiment of brotherhood towards other nations. And in this respect I have not been disappointed in the inhabitants of Tuscany. I am only repeating the opinion of every traveller when I say that they are eminently courteous and mild towards strangers. Foreigners make this country their favourite abode, not merely because here there is no impediment to a cheap and abundant supply of luxuries and comforts from every part of the globe, but because they find a charm in the amiable cordiality of the Tuscan people. Such is the description of the only country in southern Europe which enjoys the ad vantages of free trade, and I will not add a word of comment, but leave the facts I have stated for the in struction of other nations. Gentlemen, I thank you heartily for this cordial reception of a fellow-labourer in our good cause. The remembrance of this happy evening will always be a source of the highest gratifica tion to me. I conclude by drinking to the rapid exten sion of free-trade principles all over the world." A number of speeches in Italian were afterwards de livered, for which we cannot find room. The whole affair passed oaf most satisfactorily, and the gallant Italians vied with each other in paying every attention to the fair lady of the illustrious free trader, who accom panied her husband to the banquet by special invitation. POISONING OF A FAMILY AT BURY. On Saturday afternoon last the inhabitants of East gate-street and the neighbourhood were thrown into a state of grext consternation, by a report being circulated that a whole family had been poisoned. Inquiry was instantly set on foot to ascertain the truth of the rumour, and it was soon discovered to be too true. The family of Mr. William house, agricultural implement maker, of 56, Eastgate-street, consisting of the wife and four_ children, sat down to dinner about one o'clock on bisturday afternoon, some dumplings, prepared from in the dough which had been left after making the bread ten irne'rni" forming part of the meal. About minutes after dinner, all who had partaken of the and violent vomiting, .were seized with severe pains fact of their ° T .l l ,ting , and, of course, from the manner, su s pi c i on being attacked in the same aroused. Mr. Image was im mediately sent for, and arriving with the utmost expe dition, soon ascertained resorted poison had been adminis tered, and immediately . to those remedies usual on such occasions. By thertestil.ful treatment adopted a r , far as to be be the sufferers were soon recovered , yond the reach of immediate M du r r . in n g ou th s e hi m self, having been engagedofMabnulairn.aelsts dinner time, only partook dumpling after w a rds, but was, nevertheless, part t eri o o f usly a affecte d . We have already that . stated t h e dumplings were made of a piece of dough left from the bread ; and there was some flour not used. Both bread and dumplings serer e i poisoned but the flour remained pure. Furthnquiries beim made, suspicion fell upon Hannah Rouse, the .. dap ;titer, aged about 21, and from what transpired, it was considered proper to take her into custody. She was brought up at Mr. Wing's office this (Tuesday) morning, and a prolonged private investigation took place, the magistrates considering it injudicious to make known the evidence taken at a preliminary inquiry. Mr. Image and several other witnesses were examined, and two letters wore produced, addressed to a young woman named Sergeant, living servant, we understand, at Mr. Quant's, in Abbeygate-street, wherein she ex presses her regret at something she has done, and ob scurely glances at self-destruction. It is believed that she has been led into the commission of some petty filching, and feels conscince-stricken at her guilt. The inquiry before the magistrates resulted in the prisoner being remanded till Monday next, when she will under go another oxamination.—Bury Herald. BANK RETURNS. (From the London Gazette.)

THESIGER stated that Mr. Chilton, who is one of her Majesty's counsel, on the evening of the 15th of October, 1845, took a ticket to proceed from Sydenham, where his family resided, to London, by the Croydon Railway, in a first-class carriage. 11 e was very well known to the officers, and there was no difficulty in iden tifying him. Mr. Chilton lost his ticket, and stated the fact upon his arrival at the London terminus to Smith, au officer of the company. He offered to pay one shilling, which is the fare from Sydenham to London, but Smith insisted upon having Is. 3d., being the whole fare from Croydon to London, which Mr. Chilton refused to pay, whereupon Smith gave him into the custody of a police officer. Mr. Chilton refused to go without being forced to do so, whereupon the constable laid his hands upon him. and Mr. Chilton said that was sufficient, and he would go with the officer, and he accordingly went to the station-house. Mr. Chilton, fearing that his family might be alarmed at his absence, offered to pay the Is. 3d., which Smith refused to re ceive, and insisted on the charge being taken. The charge was entered, " For having rode in a railway carriage without paying his fare." It happened that a Mr. Roberts, a solicitor, was passing by, who, knowing Mr. Chilton, offered to become bail, which was accepted. Mr. Chilton having been detained about halt an hour. The next morning Mr. Chilton attended be fore a magistrate, who made an order for the payment of Is. 3d., but afterwards rescinded it, feeling that he had not the power to make such an order. On the 17th of October Mr. Chilton wrote to the company, com plaining of Smith's conduct in the matter, and request ing that the by-law, which was supposed to give such power to the company, should be abrogated. This, however, was refused. Much correspondence followed, and ultimately Mr. Chilton brought his action. The defendants pleaded, first, not guilty ; and, secondly, justification under the by-laws. To this last plea the plaintiff demurred, and the Court, upon argument held the plea to be bad. This state of facts came out in evidence before the Court yesterday. The CHIEF BARON suggested to the defendants to apologise. Mr. KENNEDY, however, declined to do this, and ad dressed the jury, observing that the arrest was made by the defendants' officer, upon the belief that the by-laws of the company gave him that power, and the company always conceived they had that power, until the Court upon the decision respecting the demurrer, declared that they had Rot. The power, however, was necessary, not only for the benefit of the company, but fcr the security of the public, and the Company would go to Parliament to get the power. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, :expressed his belief that Parliament never would grant the power in question, as it was one which no body of men ovght to possess over the subjects of this realm. The jury returned to consider their verdict, and after a lengthened consultation, name into Court, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 5001. QUEEN'S BENCH, May 15. WALLINGTON V. LAMBERT. This was an action to recover a sum of money from the defendant, Sir H. Lambert, of Oxfordshire, as a director of the Great Welsh Junction Railway Company, in respect for maps prepared for that railway by the plaintiff. The defendant's liability was not established, as he was only a director conditionally, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . OLD COURT. (Before Baron ALneasox.) Edmund Garbett, a man of very respectable appear. ance, was indicted for forging the acceptance to a bill of exchange for 50L, with intent to defraud William Booth. This case appeared to excite a more than usual interest, owing, perhaps, to the extraordinary circumstances under which the prisoner was committed for trial. It will be recollected that at the last assizes at Kingston, an action was brought by a person named Blagney, against Mr. Booth, to recover the amount of the above bill of exchange, alleged to have been accepted by him. The defence was, that the acceptance in question was a forgery; and to prove that fact the prisoner was put in the box, when his evidence was of so extraordinary a nature as to induce the Learned Judge, before whom the case was tried (Lord Denman), to conclude that the wit ness had himself forged the acceptance, and he was ac cordingly committed to take hie trial on that charge. Mr. Martin now appeared as counsel for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Montague Chambers for the prisoner. Mr. MARTIN having briefly stated the case on the part of the prosecution, proposed, in the first instance, to read a copy of the short-hand writer's notes of the evi dence given by the prisoner on the above trial. Mr. CHAMBERS strongly objected to this evidence being received. The evidence that a man gave in a civil action could not afterwards be made use of against him in a prosection for felony. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, however, thought it would be better to receive the evidence than to reject it, bemuse if it were rejected there would be an end of it. If, how ever, he did wrong in receiving it, he would be set right by the other judges, for whose future decision he would reserve the point. The notes were then put in and read. The most material part of the prisoner's evidence on that occasion was to this effect :—That the acceptance in question was not in the handwriting of William Booth ; that he knew who it was accepted by having been present at the time, and when asked to name the party, he said, " I am in the hands of the Court," and he declined to answer any questions on that point, whereupon he was committed by Lord Denman, as already stated. The next evidence was that of the prosecutor. William Booth, who stated that he was a farmer, and resided in Shropshire. He had known the prisoner about fifteen years. When he first knew him he was clerk to an attorney, residing at Wellington, but at the expiration of his articleship he set up in business for himself, and afterwards went into partnership with a person named Dulling. In the year 1846 witness em ployed the prisoner in several professional transactions. (He here stated the nature of them at great length.) Ile only material part of his evidence in chief was that his acceptance to the bill in question was not in his hand writing, and that he never, directly or indirectly, au thorised the prisoner to accept for him. The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Chambers as to other bills. He admitted his know ledge that the prisoner had accepted several other bills in his name, and that he had taken no steps to punish him for so doing : or to prevent a repetition of such con duct, but he denied most distinctly having ever said to the prisoner, with reference to those bills, " I don't mind your using my name, providing I don't get into any trouble." He further stated that at the time when the .bill in question was issued he did not owe the prisoner any money. The bill was then put in and read. It was for 501., dated June, 1846, drawn by the prisoner on, and purported to be accepted by William Booth, and payable at three months after date. This was the case on the part of the prosecution. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the jury at great length on the part of the prisoner ; but the main point of his argu ment was that as the prosecutor had received due notice long before the transaction which gave rise to the present proceedings, that certain bills purporting to be accepted by him had been circulated by the prisoner, and had taken no steps to punish him for making so free with his name, prisoner might, considering the intimacy that existed between them, have construed that into an im plied authority to continue such conduct, provided the bills were provided for when they came to maturity. Implied authority could not be judged of by the mere denial by the party interested, that he had given it, but might be inferred by his general conduct in reference to previous transactions (.4' a similar nature. The question was one entirely for a . jury to decide. The Learned Counsel then urged that after the alleged forgery, the prisoner might have kept out of the way if he pleased, instead of which he appeared rs a witness on the trial, the proceedings at which led to his being placed in his present unfortunate predicanient. In conclusion , he said, if the jury en t e rtained any doubt upon the case, it was their duty to give the prisoner the benefit of it.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS. TOWER HAMLETS.—Mr. Hutchison, who unmc cessfully contested this borough at the last election, has announced himself as a candidate on the approaching dissolution. Another candidate is also announced as likely to come forward on the Dissenting interest. NORTH DURHAM.—Mr. Robert Duncombe Shafto, of Whitwortb, has issued an address to the electors, and has become a candidate on the Whig and Lambton interest. NORTH CHESHIRE.—The only names as yet men tioned as likely to go to the poll are E. D. Davenport, Esq., of Capesthorn, and J. Cheetham, Esq., of Staly bridge, both Liberals.—Manchester Express. UNIVERSITY 9F OXFORD.—There will be a contest for the represerntation of this University at the ap proaching general election, Mr. Estcourt having inti mated his intention of retiring from Parliament. The names of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Sir W. Heathcote are severally spoken of as being the most likely to occupy the vacant seat. The Guardian states that Mr. Gladstone will come forward, and that it is said the Hebdomadal Board intend to put forward Mr. Card- well, the nephew of one of their members. Ipswicet.—Mr. George Rennie has announced him self as a candidate for this town on the occasion of the general election. He dates his address from the Reform Club. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—WC are requested to inform our readers that two gentlemen of stanch and in dependent principles will at a very early period offer themselves to the notice of the electors as candidates for the representation of the borough at the next election on the liberal interest.—Hampshire Independent. • ATHLoNE.—According to one of the local newspapers Mr. William Keogh, a young barrister and a Roman Catholic, has been during the past week canvassing the electors of the borough on the Conservative interest; and, according to the same authority, Sir George Beres ford also intends coming forwards on similar principles, and will present himself to the constituency in the course of a few days. Meanwhile Mr. John Collett, the present Member, has declared his intention of contesting the representation against all opposition at the coming election. KisanEsponounli.—We are glad to learn that there is a good prospect of relieving Knaresborough from the discredit of being represented by Mr. Ferrand. Our late fellow-townsman, J. P. Westhead, Esq., and the Hon. W. S. Lascelles, brother of the Earl of Harewood, and now M.P. for Wakefield, have offered themselves as can didates, in opposition to Mr. Ferrand and Mr. Lawson ; and we are glad to hear that they have every prospect of success. Mr. Lascelles, though a Conservative, has shown himself anything but a party man ; and we should be sorry to see him excluded from the House of Com mons.—Manchester Guardian. WARRINGTON.—Mr. J. I. Blackburne, the present Member for the borough has issued his address to the electors, a step, he intimates, rendered imperative on him in consequence of Mr. Allcard having announced his intention of becoming a candidate for the representation at the ensuing election. It appears to be generally understood that, at the ge neral election now approaching, the present representa tives of the borough of Sunderland, David Barclay and George Hudson, Esq., will be again returned without opposition. —Newcastle Guardian. ORKNEY AND SHETLAND.—Mr. Anderson has pub lished an address to the electors of Orkney and Shetland, from which the following are extracts.— " Not less than two hundred and eighteen effective voters having pledged themselves in writing to give me their active support at the poll, besides a considerable number who have verbally promised their support, to entertain a doubt of success would be to betray such a want of confidence in the integrity of my kind coun trymen as it is impossible for me to entertain for one moment. Our success must appear, I think, still more certain, if we refer to the state of the polling in the con test between Mr. Balfour and Mr. Traill, in 1835. At that time the whole number of voters on the register was 476. It is now, I believe, about 510. That con test, most of you will recellect, was rather a sharp one, and its object nearly the same as that of the present one. On the occasion the total number who voted for Mr. Balfour was 114 : for Mr. Trail!, candidate on the Dun das interest, 84. You will at once see that the number of electors who have pledged themselves in writing to vindicate the independence of the county at the next poll amounts to nearly double the number who brought in the successful candidate at the last contest, while the whole increase on the register since then only amounts to 34. With such facts before us, can we entertain a doubt of the most triumphant success? While on this subject, I deem it necessary to advert to a misrepresentation of the nature of the contest which has been spread abroad by our opponents. They have endeavoured to mislead the public, by representing it as a contest founded on merely personal and local consi derations, involving no public principle, and conse quently, of no public importance. Now this is the reverse of the fact. We are struggling to assert a great and fundamental principle of the constitution, namely, that the representatives of the people, in the people's House of Parliament, shall truly be chosen by the people, and really represent them, instead of being, as nearly one half of them now are, the nominees and representatives of the peerage. The question you will be called upon (probably within two or three months) to determine, is, whether the Member for Orkney and Shetland shall represent the feelings and interests of the people of Orkney and Shetland, or the feelings and interests of the Earl of Zetland. This is the real nature of the contest, involving a principle which cannot fail to insure for us the sympathy of every true man of independent mind, and every friend of the Con stitution throughout the kingdom, and with the success ful vindication of which, on the remote shores of my native islands, I shall feel more pride in having my name associated, than to represent the richest and most popu lous place in Britain.—John O'Groat's Jourual. MURDER OF A WOMAN BY HER HUSBAND AT BIRMINGHAM. On Friday evening an inquest was held at the Grand Turk, on Ludgate-hill, on the body of Margaret Leonard, about 40 years of age, wife of a man named Peter Leonard, a paper hawker, and residing in Tanter-street, who died in consequence of injuries received from being thrown down stairs by her husband, on the morning of Saturday last. They had for a long time past been in the habit of having quarrels, which often resulted in blows, one or both being generally in a state of intoxication ; and from the evidence it will be seen that this was unhappily the cause of the quarrel in the present instance, which resulted in the death of the woman. The husband himself was present in custody, and cross-examined one or two of the witnesses. He did not appear much concerned as to the result of the investi gation ; but when any portion of the evidence was parti cularly against him he became agitated, and trembled very much. The excitement created by the event became very great in the neighbourhood of Tanter-street, when it was known that the death of the woman had taken place; and towards the close of the investigation the room was crowded by persons anxious to bear the pro. ceeding. The first witness called was Mary May, wife of James May, comb-maker, and residing nearly oppo site the house of deceased in Tenter- street. She knew the deceased, Margaret Leonard, who, she believed, was quite well on the morning of Saturday last. About half past seven o'clock that morning witness saw deceased and her husband come home together, and go into the house, both of them appearing to be intoxicated, as might be inferred from their staggering walk. On going in they shut the door after them. Witness heard loud talking between them, the husband cursing the wife, calling her bad names, and order ing her to get up from the floor, where she was lying, to fetch some coal and make him breakfast. She answered, " I will, Peter." After this, witness went on with her employ ment, and did not hear any more, until the husband himself came over to her door, about ten minutes past eight, when he said, " Will you come over to my house, and help to get Mar garet out of the cellar? for I've shoved her down there; but passion is the devil " Witness went over immediately, along with a neighbour, Mrs. Forty, who had also been asked. On looking towards the cellar, down the stairs of which the man said his wife had fallen, they found the door shut; but having got a light, they discovered the unfortunate woman lying with her legs and feet on the two lower steps, and her body stretched outwards, with the head doubled up under the right shoulder. Her face was covered all over with clotted blood, and there were also two pools of blood on the cellar floor. Leonard himself was asked to help her up stairs, but he said, " No, let the dirty - lie and die ;" but witness, with the assistance of Mrs. Forty and another neighbour who came in, had the deceased removed up stairs, where they laid her down by the fire-place, and washed her, being all this time in an insensible state and speechless, but groaning heavily, and making a noise; blood was streaming, also, from both ears. Witness and the other neighbour wished to put the deceased into bed, but her husband said he would not allow her to go into a bed of his, and when they wanted to put the pillow below her head he refused, using words equally indecent with the above. He was still drunk, but soberer than when he went into the house. Other evidence proved the determined purpose with which apparently the prisoner had sought to murder the unfortunate woman, and his heartless indifference to her agonies. The jury, after a consultation of about ten mi nuteg, returned with a verdict finding Peter Leonard Guilty of " Wilful murder." A MURDERER ARRESTED.—On Wednesday se'n night, Mr. Brown, an officer in the Irish police force, arrived in Cardiff, having in his custody two Irishmen, named Te rence Curboy and Michael Banan, who had contrived to escape from Ireland to this country after committing very serious offences against the law. Curboy, who appeared a young man about 20 years of age, is charged with having barbarously murdered a man named Gleeson, at Toomavara, in the county of Tipperary, by shooting him with a blun derbuss, and then, when his victim lay struggling in agony, terminating his existence by beating his brains out with the butt-end of the piece. This atrocious outrage was, it is said, committed without the slightest reasonable provocation. The prisoner was taken at the Drim colliery, in this county, by Mr. Brown, after a protracted and arduous search, which he continued under great difficulties with unabated ardour and determination. He left Tipperary in order to trace the pri soner (if possible); and after making minute inquiries through the several iron and coal works of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, he succeeded in capturing the suspected murderer, as above stated. In the course of his search he accidentally fell in with Michael Banan, who escaped from justice, after being involved in some Whiteboy transactions, about two or three years ago, his comrade in that outrage having been transported. The prisoners were lodged in the county gaol on Wednesday night, and left by steamer on Thursday morning for Bristol, whence they proceeded to Ire land by one of the Irish packets. Curboy seemed to feel acutely the position he was placed in. CAUTION.—IRISII BANK BILLS.—It would be well that the public should be extremely cautious in receiving 10!. Bank Bills, as a number of bills of that amount which are supposed to be in circulation at present, have been stop ped at the Bank of Ireland, Dublin, under the following circumstances, Some bills of that amount were latel y sued in favour of a person named M. S. Persse, but were never received by him. Two of them, one of w hich had been received by a gentleman residing near Bailin hass'g, the other by an establishment in the city , we re cashed l at the bank here, but when sent up to the ban k in Dublin, it was found that they were already stopped there. These two notes were indorsed in the name of Mr. Persse, their date is the Ist of January last, and their numbers 42,148 and 42,149. The entire matter was made known - before the magistrates on Friday, by head constable Condon, in order that the public might be cautioned against receiving therm.—Corp aminer NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 16.—The Prince Callimaki, the Turk- I ish Ambassador, and M. Zohrab, Ottoman Consul-General, I visited this port yesterday. The illustrious visitors put up at the Railway Hotel, Gosport, where, after the inspection of sundry objects of interest on both sides of the harbour, they dined, and left by the last train for London. The Driver steam-sloop, Captain Hayes, having coaled, left the harbour yesterday afternoon and proceeded to Wool wich to be paid off. She took with her the officers and crew of the Amphion screw steam-frigate, who have been navigating the Odin during her " relief service." When the Driver left Rio Commodore Herbert's squadron in the River Plate were all well ; the crews and marines still ashore, pro- tecting British property—consequently there are no cruizers to prevent the slave traffic, and slaves were being landed in thousands along the unwatched parts of the coast with the most commercial coolness. She reports that the Inflexible steam-sloop, Commander Iloseason, had run from the Cape to Port Jackson, Sydney, a distance of 6,392 miles, iu 35 days 6 hours. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Milne, flag of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., bent sails yesterday, and made the ne cessary preparations for going to Spithead this day. The Cen taur steam-frigate of 540 horse power, Master-Commander H. Davy, got her steam up this morning to take her out, and took her in tow at a quarter 'before twelve. Unfortunately, before the steamer could get sufficient way on her to give her a proper command over the St. Vincent's motions, the latter took a sheer to starboard, in trying to counteract which the steamer was unavoidably thrown broad on her port, which was also her lee bow ; at the same time the starboard hawser snapped, and after a vain attempt to recover her proper po sition the steamer was compelled to cast off altogether, on account of her drifting so near the shore, being only about thirty feet from the Custom-house watch-house. In the mean time the three-decker, with only her jib set, was rapidly " sagging" to leeward towards the beach near the Quebec Hotel. Every exertion was made to get the ship under canvass, but before the topsails could be got on her it was evident the wind was not suitable to enable her to wea ther Point. The starboard anchor was immedialely let go, but the scope was too small for the anchor to bring her up, and she drifted, broadside on, to the beach, but whether she touched the ground or not we will not trust cur own eyes to determine, as the opinion of the multitude was divided as to whether she did or not. She certainly appeared to hang a little. By the most skilful exertions of the officers on board she was immediately extricated from her dangerous position. Warps were immediately run out to the nearest buoys, and she was got thereby further into the harbour channel, whence, at a quarter to two, she was hauled, with the assistance of her jib and foretopmast staysail, back to her moorings off Stony Steps, having slipped her cable opposite the Quebec Hotel, the occupants of which were much frightened in consequence of being hailed to get out of the house at a time when it appeared very possible the ship would strike and crush it. The hotel was deserted accord ingly until the danger was past. The Queen, 110, was nearly being the destruction of the Quebec, in a somewhat similar manner, when she left this harbour last. A very experienced harbour pilot, Mr. Davis, as well as Mr. Brown, the master attendant; Mr. Bellamy, his assistant; and the experienced master of the St. Vincent, Mr. Biddlecorne, were on board and exerted themselves to the utmost. To attempt to describe the excitement caused by this affair would be a work of no ordinary difficulty. It seemed as though the inhabitants of the three towns had suddenly fallen from the clouds upon the beach on either side of the harbour, so instantaneously was the shore peopled with anxious crowds. Nor was the bustle confined to the shore; the boats of the ship, on the first alarm, were lowered and manned, and others from the other ships quickly joined to carry out hawsers and render assistance. Great credit is due to the officers, who, by their skilful and judi cious directions, extricated the ship from her dangerous position. The Fairy Royal yacht was taken on to the graving slip yesterday morning to be fitted with a new three-fan screw. The opportunity was taken at low water to examine the state of her bottom, in reference to Mr. Hay's composition, applied to it two months since, when not the slightest symptom of weed or vegetable matter could be discovered on it, whilst the painted streak in imitation of copper had the seed of the barnacle freely deposited on it. This result was very satisfactory to Commander Crispin, but for whose warm re commendation and strenuous exertions this composition would never have been applied to the bottom of the Fairy. The Commander-in-Chief and a number of scientific officers made an inspection of the bottom of the vessel, and it was the general opinion that the application was a good one, although Mr. Owen, the chief metallurgist of Chatham dock yard, was of opinion that the inspection was premature, and that to judge of the effects or value of the application it should have been on twelve months. So far as present appearances went, however, the opinion was general that the application was of service to iron vessels. It remains now to be seen whether the red lead applied to other iron vessels will have equally beneficial effects in preventing the adhesion of rubbish.

(From the Western Times.) resg, FRIDAY NOON.—Whilst preparing for the p row and clamour in the street below drew us out to see what it was ; we found an el derl y man pale, confused and anxious, mobbed by wome n, rushing past our door. His pale face and anxio us visage were truly pitiable to behold. He was not apprehensive without reason, for the wild cries and savage manners were far more fearful than would have been the noisier manifes tations of men. Lascelles the policeman nt endeavoured to protect him, but they brush ed him off ntaly, and the old man was spun round and his coat half off in a trice. He hurried onward and escaped, for they fastened upon Mr. Buckla nd the baker, who happened to be standing at his door, and t d commenced mobbing him. The fir st one was a poti dealer. He bad been detected in St. Thomas's watching the countr purchasing their stocks of potatoes. The women y people coming into town, intercepting and formed us that it was old Whitfield of the Island, w ho was charging half-a-crown a score for his 'tatoes, eon with foul reproaches they loaded h is forestalling name. Ile had to thank his lucky stars t hat neighbour Buck' land appeared in sight, for he, though enjoying the re putation of a cheap baker, has been advancing with the market, and was supposed to have a great stock in hand. Mr. Buckland stood at his door, and the mob, working itself up into a pitch of fury, assailed him first with groans, then with stones broke his windows, and when he repelled the assailants they beat him violently till of was drawn into the shop; all this was passing in vi er/ ° our own window. The poor people are terribly famis hed no doubt, and the women are maddening with rage at being una ble to find food enough for their little ones. But the leading a ssailants of Mr. Buckland were the idle and disorderly, who seize any opening for a row. The majority of till! , mob were, however, middl d have been e-age women, found in the streets clamouring against pro vision-mongers had there not been dreadful want st who would not dome. Mr. Buckland is a kind-hearted man, and has ale's) s kept down the price of bread; and it is worthy of , r .i s: mark that the mob was headed by three women, w ili ` ing arm in arm, to their attack on his house. As soon as fir.THE ßu C ek O ia ß n N d, M ARKET. proceeded to the corn market, where they s s hop was C 9 ...,,, Seu and clamorous attack upon the farmers. They Pas in at the upper door with a roar and a yells and 11 1 „, 0 2 r e agriculturists escaped out of the lower door. .-tu, women began the riot in each case, and the men fol lowed. One farmer had his head cut with a stick, so' other was felled by a blow in front. The fanners re; i mt i l l e a t h s e s r.. : b _ treated rapidly, but the dealers kept to their stalls; b ... e . they were soon compelled to retreat. We saw a ce'". , dealer's hat in the hands of the mob with the crown now and tossed about with savage imprecations. Getting into the thick of it, we endeavoured to per suede a young woman, with a child o f about el she months old in her arms, to go home. "Go hom e ' b e exclaimed, with fierce invective—" g o hale t° 0 starved! Better bide here to be kille d at on ce, than g home to starve!" . There was something terrific i n 0111 , wild frenzy of the women. If a farme r g ets a Punc h 1 ho to the head from a civilian of the town, he knows . • -vi d return it, but a woman's fist wringing in h is f f : .„' a u p t. her shrill tongue ringing in his ear, baffles in out' right. Mr. Stone detended many of the farmers with great courage—his shop was safe enough --he 8 ._.. drugs and physics, and laboured under no apprebeesr as to an attack at home; all the doctors shops are S i e fie The butchers quickly packed up their meat. aa" dl d 6 several ealers ceareil their stalls. We overhea r butcher swearing that " the women ha d taken it in to their heads all together."

He Steil& y _ dared that he came into the town neither to sell nor point buy. As his quiet, calm manner gave no salient P.- for their savage fancies, they left him. • the After leaving the corn market and hunting sof farmers, a general cry arose to proceed to the s"' re A Messrs. Sercombe, the corn-merchants on the anaL to t, shower of stones soon broke the windows, and the an gin street, weber, ing-house windows were quickly smashed. 110,11 e r ;i n g wo men were the chief actors.

But amongst them, were . -,„.,' ... course, the usual proportion of dissolute and Per''',7 nently degraded, who had neither the excuse nor t h e energy to take up the active part of the work thour they clamoured loudly they had no children-"' no domestic ties. Having finished in the place of busi• ness, they next proceeded to Colleton-creacent, where they attacked the residence of Mr. J. C. Sercombe, and smashed his windows. They then proceeded to Mr. Kenwood, the baker'sia South-street, he threw out his loaves, and they smashed his windows. In the mean time his Worship the May or had ar • rived by the express train. The magistrates had pre viously sworn in special constables, and his Worship a C once proceeded at the head of a party of police, acc m n . panied by the town-clerk. He found the people riot at Theatre-street, and breaking the windows. gig Worship apprehended two of the ringleaders with his own hands. Proceeding down Fore-street , he found! mob before Mr. Jones's house, and the panic-strue' baker, pitching out loaves of bread. The Mayor here dispersed the mob, and apprehend ed others of the rioters. Mr. Shore, the miller, of Exwick, was exceedingly ii. used by the mob in the corn market. H e is reported t° be very much injured, we regret to say. Mr. B e d ell, baker, West-street, smashed. hot s of Mr. Salter, baker, Butcher-row, emptied his sh ots of bread, and saved his windows.
