(From the Antdon New Price Current of May 25.) Surcart.— Of West India the arrivals have het n ex tensive since this day week, whilst of other descriptions several parcels have la , en received ; of all sorts there are heavy arrivals expected. It is now certain that the im portation of Sugar will this season far exceed that of the former one. Although several of the brewers and distil lers in the United Kingdom are working from Sugar, yet merchants have been eager sellers, and having abundantly supplied the market, produced a fall in the value of all sums ; indeed the quantity brought forward has ex ceeded the wants of the home trade as well as exporters. West India has been purchased with caution ft r all pur pos,s, akhough a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt has beets submitted to. To day the Sugar market was closed on account of the Whitsurt holida3s, but business will be renewed to-morrow with large public sales. REFINED.—Since our last report there has been less activity in the market, whilst the refiners have been mare inclined to realise, and submitted ti lower rates for all descriptions of goods; but the home trade have operated with caution. Although the consuption is very large, yet prices rule high in comparison with these that exist for Raw Sug'tr, and the refin rs are making preparations to produce an increased quantity. The operations in Bastards have been upon a small scale only, and there is more desire to sell, as the stock is accumulating . Pieces have been in excellent request. Bonded Crush ed Sugar met with less attention for ex port, and there are sellers upon reduced terms ; only a moderate bu3iness has been transacted fur immediate or forward delivery ; prices are, however, encouraging to the refiners, ard, in consequence, they are producing an increased quantity. In Treacle several iurchases have been made. Net Lumps moved off slowly. Dutch Crushed Sugar has been only in moderate demand B lgien is little wanted. Fur Loaves made free tinder bond the export demand is not quite so.good, but the supply being small of all sorts we hare very little varia tion to notice in the value. _ MAllRlTlM—Merchants continue to be ready sellers, I as the arrivals are not all in for the season, whilst there is a heavy stock here, much exceeding that of last year up to this time. There are sellers by private treaty of all sorts. and at prices rather under those that, existed previously, but grocers and refiners have operated with caution. -- EAST INDlA.—lmporters of Bengal . Sugar have been anxiou, sellers, and having abundantly supplied the market, produced a decline on previous rates of is per cwt ; the demand, hewever, bus been good. and the whole offered at public sale, amounting to 4. 193 bags, found buyers. Of Sugar there is a large stock here. FoaeiGN.—Since our last reprt holders of Foreign Sugar have been eager sellers, and-ahundantly supplied the market. Although they submitted to a reduction on former rates of Is per cmt, still only a limiten demand has been experienced from the home trade, whilst ex porters and our refiners working under bond have operated with reluctance. The quantity brought for ward has been greater than for some time, and exceeded the wants of all parties. At auction 953 bags of China were sold. COFFEE.—Of West India none has been submitted to public competition since our last report, but privately there are sellers of all descriptions at a further decline in prices; the borne trade, however, operated with re luctance. whilst the stock is accumulating, and West India is still dearer than any other kind of Coffee. Plan tation Ceylon is effered rather under previous rates; still the home trade have operated with caution in all sorts by private treaty, and the parcels offered at auction amount ing to 2.000 bags were only in part sold. Ceylon is cheaper than any other kind of Coffee, and the con sumption is in consequence by far the greatest. Mocha is little wanted, and prices tend downwards. None has been offered at auction, whilst by private treaty only small parcels have been sold. TEA.—Prices have not improved for black Tea, as there is yet a lsrg , supply, but the demand is on the increase. In green many purchases have been made, bur. the re is a heavy stock, and ready sellers at former low qaotati , ns . the common and middling sorts are the most pres.ed for sale. There has been little desire evinced to operate in P. koe Teas, low as prices are. None has been offered at auction since our last report, whil4, daring thlt time 15,000 pkgs have arrived, and duty was pail on 460,46011)i. Rim—To-day the market had a very dull appearance for all kinds of nice, and there were sellers upon reduced terms. White Bengal of low to fine quality can be ob tained at 21s to 22s and yellow 20s to 20s 6d per cwt. SPICES.—To-day, at public sale, 590 bags of Surat Pepper were sold at rather lower rates. sez.:—Good clean black at 2/1 I to 24ii, fine ditto lid to 2il, and sea damaged 21(1 to 211 per lb. COCIIINEA.I.--This afternoon there was a better de. i i mend, and 59 bags of Ho n dur a s a t public stile were sold at 4s 8d to 53 Id for ordinary to g oo d s il ve r s , w h ic h i s the full value. 1 SPlRlTS.—lmporters of Jamaica Rum manif es t fi rm - ness, and insist upon previous rates for all descriptions,' but the home and export demand has fallen off, and only a limited business has been transacted since this day week. Leeward Island is held for 3a 4d to 3s 5d proof strength, but few parcels have been sold, and the stock is accumulating. East India has been operated in with caution. For Demeraraof strong quality the demand has been limited, but 4s to 4s 8d per gallon are the rates insisted upon, although there is a large supply. There are fur ther arrivals of limn; still the stock is yet less than it was last year. The deliveries are improving; still fir home consumption or exportation they do nut come up to those of the previous year, whilst quotations are higher by Is 6d to 2s per gallon. Prices of all sorts are highly remunerating to the importers. That the importation will be greater this year than in the previous one, there is every appearance, and an impression exists that present prices cannot be sustained. Holders of Brandy are unwilling to further reduce their prices although the stock is large, and arrivals being near at hand, but exporters, as well as the home trade have operated with caution in all sorts. The home deliveries ire, however, still exceeding those of last year. Geneva is wanted for exportation. For British Corn Spirits the demand is very go id at the late advanced rates of 1 Is ed !'or English, nett cash ; Scotch and Irish Ila 5d to I Is 6+l. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India was brought to ael iee this day. The quantity declared was 14,340 chests. For sort e time previous to the opening of the sale the extreme distress prevailing both in this country arid on the continent, caused by the scarcity and extraordinary high prices of food, and the consequent derangement of the Money Market, threw such a vloom on commerce generally that all transactions were stopped excel)t for the abso lute wants of cone urripti n. The prospects there fore for such a large sale were most gloomy, and it was evident that to effect sales to any extent a material decline must be submitted to. The attendance both of ' foreign and home buyers was unprecedentedly small, and although proprietors gave strung support uy with drawing and buying in largely we do not remember so uneven and flat a sale: during the first three days prices were most irregular, and varied from 4d to 6d discount on the February sale tor • ll,egals, and 31 to 5 i for Madras and Kurpahs, but +itice:ttieu buyers appeared to have more confidence, and the sale proceeded with a better feeling at, in some inst inces, a sight improvement in prices; this was particularly the case for the stnad quantity of good and fine shipping qualities left in the c italogue, the bulk of those sorts having been withdrawn. The proportion of Madras was large, and th assot ttnent rath r better in luelity then usu .1; the demand, however, appeared limited to the ordin iry and low sorts at and ender 2s 3(1, and for a few lots of very flee quality; the remainder was neglected, and chiefly bought in or withdrawn. Kurpahs sold heavily at an average (Ls. c (uri , of 3.1 to 41, except for a sin-ill preportion of fine quality, which realised very high prices. 0. the quer) city put up 7 019 chess were withdrawn and 1,781; bought in, leaving 5.547 actually 301(1, of venial about 1 000 are supposed to be 14 home consumption, and the remainder for export or resale. TUEPENTINE.—!tough is little wanted, arid there are sellers at lls 64 per cwt, although there is but a mode rate stock here. Spirits are offered at a further reduc tion, evil few buyers are to be met wi,h. Of American there are further arrivals. Tar is less wanted and easier to buy. OlLS.—With Southern Oil of all qualities the market continues to be largely supplied, and merchants having been willing sellers, prices suffered a further depression of 20s per tun; nevertheless, the home demand has been good, and exporters have taken a fair quantity. At public sale 70 tuns all found buyers. The arrivals con tinue on the increase, arid will keep so for some time. Seal of all kinds has been operated in with caution, although there are sellers at a further reduction in the value. Sperm is not Levet-wanted, whilst the supply is good, and a further fall in the value ensued. The stock of Fish Oils is much larger than it was a month hack and there is every prespeet of the importa tion this sea-on being greater than it was in the pre vious one. Pa'm is net much wanted by exporters or the home trade, and prices are on :he decline. By pri• vate treaty only a small qu 'talc) , has been sold. Rape Seed Oil has fallen in value. and the purchases made have been limited at 34s for brown. and at 35s for pale, whilst there is a plentiful supply. Cocoa Nut is little wanted by exporters or the home trade, but in conse quence of the scanty supply, prices keep high, fair and litre quality in small parcel , fetching 48s to 50s. There are however arrivals near at hand, arid lower rates may be expected to prevail shortly. lead Oil is in lair demand at 44s to 48a. The business transac ed in Olive has been trifling by exporters and the home trade ; whilst merchant,' are willing sellers, arid the stock is on the increase.

DUBLIN, MAY 23 It. anticipation of a dissolution of Pat liament during the summer, there is much specula tion afloat as to probable changes in the representation of Ireland, and some resignations are actually deter mined upon. Owing to the terrible state of distress which affects the higher as well as the lower clasi.es, and tho state of collapse into which all political parties in this country seem to have sunk, there will be less of interest or excitement about the next elections than usually occurs in Ireland. We notice a few of the places where changes are either certain or very probable:— QUEEN'S COUNTY.—The Hon. Thomas Vesci, it is stated, retires on account of the state of health of his father, Lord de Vesci; and the resignation or the other Member, Sir Charles Coote, is also spoken of. Mr. Fitzpatrick, who has inherited a large portion of the O-sory property, and was formerly Member for the county, is to start on the Liberal inter. sr. It is pro bable that Mr. Fitzpatrick and a Conservative will be returned without a contest. KING'S COUNTY.—If the present Members come for ward, it is quite likely they would. be returned ; but should either Sir Andrew Armstrong or Colonel Wes tenra retire, Mr. Cassidy, of Monastereven, and other candidates, on the Liberal interest, would be in the field. The Conservatives, too, might try their chance. WESTMEATH.—Mr. Tui;es' re-ignation has been de tertnincd upon. The other member. Mr. Chapman will again b., a candidate. Mr. John Ennis is spoken of amongst the new candidates. A contest here is likely, but it is only by divisions amongst the Liberals that the Conservatives have a chance. WickLow.—Lord Milton comes forward for this county in place of Colonel Acton, the retiring Conserva tive candidate, and that Noble Lord will be re:turned with one of ti•e present members, Sir Ralph Howard. Mr. Stanley Monck, nephew and heir of Lord Ratbdown, is to be started by a section of the Conservatives ; but ha has no chance. The return of Lord Milton and Sir Ralph Howard will be supported by the great preponde rating interests in the county—namely, those of Lords Fi.zwilliam, Wicklow, Meath, Carysfort, and the La touches. _ . . KILDARE.—There will be a change in the representa tion of this county. The Marquis of Kildare, son of the Duke of Leinster, comes forward, and his return may be considered quite certain. Mr. Moore O'Ferrall is can vassing, and if he should be supported by the Leinster interest, his return might also be calculated upon, even though he should be opposed by the Repoalers. It is rumoured that Mr. Archbold intends to retire limn Par liamentary life. _ _ _ MEATH. —A chancre in this county is also probable. Mr. Ford, town-clerk of Dublin, has been cadi-d upon by the Repealers, but has not jet derided. It is stated that Mr. S. Winter, of fulls) hard, will be called upon to stand on the Whig interest. It is likely that either ot the present Members will be under the necessity re tiring. Mr. Corbally has the Letter chance of the two ; bur - , Mr. Henry Grattan's prospects are very gleomy. The Conservatives talk of starting one candidate, proba • bly Mr. Lambert. WEXFORD.—In this county Mr. Grogan Morgan, on the Conservative interest, will seek to wrest one of the seats from the Liberals. _ _ _ CITY OF LIV.ERICK.7—It is announced that Mr. Kelly is to retire, because, as the Limerick Examiner says, he conceives it to be useless, in the present position of the Repeal movement, to go the British Parliament, to take any part in the legislation of that assembly. The Irish Members (that journal adds) meet nothing at every turn in the senate but contumely, sneer, itault, ignorance, and derision. LIMERICK, MAY 22.—DEATH OF JAMES WATSON, ESQ.—This gentleman, after suffering some day s from the wounds inflicted by his assassins, died last evening at seven o'clock, surrounded on his dying bed by a most afflicted widow and her little orphans. The magi-crates of the barony are summoned to meet at Killaloe, on Wednesday next, to consider what means it is fit to adout in consequence of the murder of Mr. Watson, and the dangerous state of the country. Her Majesty's Govern ment has offered a reward of 1001. for the apprehension and conviction of the guilty parties. Michael Lacy, from the neighbourhood of Glenomera, against whom private information was received by the Cloniara police, as one of the men who attacked Mr. Watson, was arrested on Thursday, on board the Co quimbo, passenger vessel, in the Pool, and taken before the magistrates, who did not conceive the grounds of suspicion strong enough to warrant the detention of the prisoner, who was discharged.

Soyer's model kitchen for the preparation of food under the super intendence of the South Dublin Union Relief Com mittee. The place is in Cork-street, and the supply of. water is from the river Tonge, which is one of the principal sources for the south city basin, and is the purest water supplied to the city of Dublin. It forms ene of the boundaries of the concerns. There are ample stores and out build ings for every purpose of cookery and baking. It is intended to erect a steam-engine for the mixing of the dough and making stirabeut, which manual labour could not possible accomplish in time to meet the demand, timing due regard to economy, as well as to supply the kitchen with steam. A bakehouse on a new principle, in vented by M. Soy er, will form one of the most important features of the establishment, and in it bread will be sup plied at an expense of one penny and two fifths per lb.; the quantity to be baked will amount to at least 130,0001t.5. per week. The consumption at present is rated at 41 tons of rice, and 4i tons of Indian meal per week, and it is expicted that the amount will be trebled in a short time. FATAL. ACCIDENT.—Mr. William Irwin, late surgeon in the Royal Navy, met with an accident on Monday last, which proved fatal. Mr. Irwin was obliged to keep a gun constantly loaded in the house, for some ti in. back, in consequence of having been attacked by robbers some months ago. The deceased, aho was an invalid for a num ber of years. went, as usual, to sit at the kitchen fire after breakfast. The loaded gun was resting against the wall behind him, and the servant boy, while in the act of pulling down his coat, which was hanging up over the gun, threw it down, and, falling sud denly, cock uppermost, struck against the lower rail of the chair, and an explosion was the result. The entire contents, after passing through the bottom of the chair, lodged in the lower part of deceased's body. Medical assistance was protnprly - procured, but we regret to say Mr. Irwin expired o❑ W. dnesday aft.rnoon, in the 53d year of his age.—Enniskillen Chronicle. OBTAINING ONE HUNDRED POUNDS BY FALSE PRETENCES FROM LORD IvEORGE BENTINCE--TWO per sons have been in custody in Hull for several weeks, upon various charges of obtaining money under false pretences, and the facts elicited by the Hull _police make out a case of strong su s pici o n o f an exterNiively organised system 4 fraud, carried out by means ot forged tie sit:mites of the hand-writing of parties in varioui ranks ot life. The two prisoners are known in Hull as Henry Adamson and Bridget Adams. On Wed nesday the prisoners were examined, when Lord G. Bentinck deposed :—On or about the 19,h of April, I received in London a letter, date d from Hull, aiut signed James Turner. I an/Jeered that letter and de s+ rayed it. The letter purported to be Irons the master and owner of a schooner out of Lynn, on her first voysge, and bound for Sunderlan,l. It stated that he had lost his mast, his rudder, anchor, and cable, in the last gafe. fie stated that he had not money enough to pay for the repairs, without breaking into his cargo, or th.- sum of money which was designed to pay for his cargo in coals, and that he would be obliged to return to Lynn without making a voyage at ad, unless he was assisted. lie enclosed at the same time a letter purporting to be from Mr. It. Bagge, of Lynn, and a list of subscrip tions, amounting to 801. or threabouts, which was perfectly insufficient to meet his requirements. Mr. Bagge'a name was down for 20/., and another gentle man for 30/. It was Mr. Bagge's letter that took me off my guard. I thought I could have sworn to his hand-writing. The tenor of it, too, was just such a letter that I thought Mr. Bagge would have written, stating that he knew I was so much engaged .he could 'nor ' think of troubling m e at th at , period ; but it was addressed to Turner in the i second person, and concluded, " but you are at liberty to make any use of this you think proper." It was the half of a note, so that there was no post mark upon it. I was so • entirely, without suspicion, that I did not examine it minutely; but I am quite sure there was no• post-mark. The writer requested I wou'd return him the . enclosures, and answer his letter by return of post, which I did, and enclosed him my cheque for 1001. This is the cheque. I stated that I could form no opinion of what the cost of a rudder, mast, and cable would be. hut that I enclosed 20/. is a gratuity, and the rem tieing 80/. was to be repaid at his earliest convenience. I know of a John Turner. I was aware that there was a Turner who was the master of a vessel at Lynn, but. I am not acquainted with any Cap tain Jas. Turner, of Lynn. His Lordship retired, and the proceedings were adjourned to the Town Hall, where Mr. M'Manui applied fur a further remand to produce other witnesses. EVELYN HARCOURT. A Novel. By the Author of "'temptation ; or, a iVife's Perils."--This is, from the variety of its scenes and characters, one of the best and most pleasing novels which has been published during the present season ; and it must be confessed that its object and moral are sound and good. The heroine of the story, Evelyn Harcourt, a young , beauty just ri•ing into life ; a cousin of a Noble Marchioness, is invited by her to her town malsion in Grosvenor-square, is adopted by her, anti carried into all the scenes of fashionable life, for the purpose of making a splendid match. The effect of all the splendours of rank and wealth upon this young country beauty are powerfully painted. A good and t•ffec!ive contrast is introduced in the character of Helen, another young hub from the country, who being &school fellow of Evelyn. has also been invited by the Marchio • ness to accompaby her young friend on this visit, but whose understanding is of a higher ord, r, and under t itow h ite e .e, d_ k i , sc au ip di l r i s n r e .amt e he f se e sren h ing rit e ia b n u, p l r il i ei n ts c shr l a es. e feel no hesi tation recommending this novel, as exceedingly well : 0 17 aknsG a u n ne d :x c ec o ,Op e T e ti e Tn i on_ ved, and as proceeding throughout notice an improvei7Niri m cases at an advance of about f.sa, ei n l Ai d c.soundßT— bAo t r y, a n l 2tdhl l lesson icn o : : hncl r a;i e ): a s.e ; • e its in our Cott Market this been , sou& litat l'Aday agto • • - nal avertiar. 'EVENIN G, MAY 26, 1847. LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. COURT OF EXCHEQUEIi, May 25. (Sittings in Banco.) NEWSOM V. EDWARDS AND ANOTHER.-FORGERY OF RAILWAY SCRIP. Mr. Watson and Mr. Greenwood appeared to show cause against a rule granted in the last Hilary term in this case, on the ground that the forgery complained of amounted only to a misdemeanour, and not to a felony. Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Humphries appeared in support of the rule. Mr. WATSON now contended; that as the scrip con tained a statement of money having been paid by crder of the provisional committee of the Buckinghamshire Railway, and signed by their agent, Mr. Wyndham Harding, the secretary of the company, it was there fore an acquittance or receipt, the forgery of which, under the Stamp Act, was made a felony. • Mr. GREENWOOD followed on the same side. The COURT decided that there wilt; no doubt whatever that the forgery was an offence at common law, but that it did not amount to a felony under the Stamp Act, and their Lordships Were of opinion that a new trial ought to be granted in this case.—Rule absolute. (Sittings at Nisi Prius. before Mr. Baron PARKE and , Middlesex Common Juries.) His LORDSRIP disposed of several undefended causes, and afterwards proceeded to hear motions. SHERIFFS' COURT (Surrey), May 25. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff ABBOTT and a Sp, vial Jury.) CRI3I. CON.-CANTLEY V. COOPER. This morning a special jury were emparinolled at the l3.•rns Tavern, Kennington, to assess the damages in this ease, which was an action by which it was sought to recover compensation in damages for injury sustained by the al leged criminal conversation between the defendant and the wife of the plaintiff. The damages were laid at 10,0001., and there were a largo number of witnesses in attendance. Sir F. THESIGER, with Mr. Peacock, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Edwin James for the defen dant. The plaintiff and the defendant are both majors in the army, and have, it was stated, seen much service in India. bir MESMER said that the present proceedings had been taken for the recovery of damages by way of compensation ; if, indeed, any compensation could be given fur such a woeful injury, for an act of criminal conversation which had been committed by the defen dant with the wife of the plaintiff, his client. But he might at once state that as the object of the plaintiff 43 , these proceedings was, as the wife had dishonoured her husband by the commission of a breach of the •narri , ge fidelity, simply to take the nece.sary steps fur the procurement of a divorce, he trusted his Learned Friend who appeared on behalf of Major Cooper, the he defendant, would not offer any opposition to the nurse which he had already suggested—the inure so as the fact of the adultery had been admitted on the record—namely, that the damages should be taken for 1,0001. EDWIN JAMES, on behalf of the defendant, said hat in all these cases there were counixions of both ourties to a hom an exposure of the circumstances of such a transaction could not tail to cause unnecessary pain. With a view, th,refore, of avoiding that exposure and of nfluiting that unnecessary pain, and also of not offering sny impediment to the severance of an union which must in future be attended with nothing else but misery and remorse to the parties, he had advised his client to con sent to a verdict for the am,,unt whicti had been named by his Learned Friend Sir F. Thesiger. 'Most certainly , tpon the record there was an admission of the guilt of he defendant, his client. There might, nevertheless, :xist some circumstances which were calculated very considerably to palliate and to mitigate that guilt, but jnasmuch as that pain could not but be inflicted upon n►any innocent parties if the details of this unhappy case were gone into, he hoped he was advising his client to adopt a course which was not in any way inconsistent with his honour as a soldier, or with his character as a gentleman, nor contrary to the feelings which ought to situate him as a man. A verdict was then taken by consent, or rather, the damages were by consent assessed at 1,0001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A young man, dressed in a sort of see-ening attire, who gave the name of Captain John Bowers Spence, of ;he 89th Regiment, was brought before Mr. Alderman Mom, charged with stealing four cigars, the property of Morris Lee. Lewis Levy, in the service of Mr. Lee, a tobacconist, in Holborn, stated that the prisoner came into the shop about eight o'clock that morning, and asked for some cigars. Pointing to a particular lot, he asked if they were pretty good. Witness told him they were, and he ordered 2L aorth. He also selected some snuff and ohaceo, and catching up a-few cigars in his hand, was leaving with the vague direction to send the goods on, And be would pay the man the money. Witness re minded him that he had given no aildress yet, and as he lied not paid anything, he could not allow him to alee any portion of the cigars. He wies onle a servant, Mid it would be irregular to do business in that way. The prisoner replied he would give file address, " Capt. Spence. 89th, Dover; if not there, elsewhere." Witness asked where he was stopping in town. He described the Saracen's Head, Snow-hill, but appeared not to know the name. Witness offered to accompany him there with the goods, but when they came to the inn the prisoner refused to enter, but told him to go there and wait for about an hour, and he would come to him. Witness of course diii not assent to that, and continued walking with the prisoner till he met a policeman, when he gave him into .custody. The four cigars witness saw him take, and three,c . ),iher.-, were found in his noesessieu. The land) of t,he,Sarticen's Head Hotel attended, and staled that he . knew nothing.of the prisoner. The ALDERMA:4, inquired it any thing was found on him, to show that he had given a correct description of himself ? The officer said he had neither money nor papers. Mr. Alderman Moots asked the prisoner it he had any friends ?—He said he hal, at Clifton. The ALDERMAN asked him where he slept the night last ?—He replied at Cheltenham. The officer stated that the prisoner had paid Mr. Lamplough, the chemist, on Holborn-bridge, a visit the same morning, and ordered a quantity of Eau de Cologne and lavender water. • The prisoner expressed some surprise that be ceti!d not go into a shop and order goods, without being set down for a thief. Mr. Alderman Moots asked him if be had any expla nation to offer as to ordering these cigars to be sent to a place where he was not known, and making it a pretext to take four cigars ? The prisoner replied, " Upon my soul I don't think they are worth talking about," and he stepped out of the dock as if he thought he might sq finish the matter, but The ALDERMAN remanded him till Saturday, to as certain the state iif hie mind, and if he had any friends. W ESTMINSTER. John Gorman, Dennis Gorman, James Cdrer, and John Gilbert, tour powerful Irish labourers, were charged with havirg, in cennexien with several others not in custoty, committed the following desperate and murder ous assault -e and Ellen Gorman and Cutheriae Gorman were also charged with assaulting the police, and .at tempting to rescue the male prisoners. Matthew Minter, a labourer employed on steam-boats, whose face was dreadfully disfigured, and who was so much injured oth.rwise as to be scarcely able to get into the witness-box, said—l went t: the Flask, in Ebtry; ,quare, last evening, and sat down in the taproom" for about five minutes. On leaving I wished one of the prisoners g iod night, but had no sooner don e so than the male prisoner Gorman jumped over the table and kicked me dreadfully in the head and body. I centrived to get out and returned with two policemen, when they 11, at me again, and I crawled out, or I should have been killed. Mr. Gregory West, dairyman, York-street, 'Westmin ster, after describing the first part of the assault, said— When the young man was down John Gorman and Gil bert kicked and jumped upon him. Mr. Brown, the landl seed, immediately sent for the police, but before they came with his messenger the you- g man (Minter), who rm.' contrived to get away from the prisoners, returned with two constab es. On their entering the room the prisoner Offer flew at one of them in the most sevaee mariner, grasped him violently, and seizing a quart pot struck him on the head with it. A scene then ensued which beggars description. They were all in such fierce conflict that it is impossible to say what occurred. The officers were so cut and wounded that it was impossible for them to take the prisoners, but a great force having at last arrived the prisoners were overpowered. Mr. Brown, the proprietor of the Flask, proved that finding the prisoner's party too strong for the police, he immediately sent for more, and fifteen or sixteen came down. The heads of the policemen were dreadfully cut, and one, as he had since learned, was in a vary dangerous conditi. in. James Hubbard, 122 B, said --On arriving at the Flask with Minter, who had marks of having been much beaten, he pointed out Coffer as one of the men who had ill-treated him, when Coffer immediately jumped over the table and struck him very violently in my pre sence. I immediately laid hold of Cefter and told him I should take him to the station, when he replied, " You c an't ; anti now I'll give it to you." Dennis German then came behind me with a quart pot and wounded me severely with it on the head. I turned round to defend myself in the best way I could, when Coffer jumped on the table and kicked me several times on the beck part of my head, and I also saw him kick another constable, 156 B. Coffer also struck me several times with his fists, and Dennis Gorman struck me repeatedly with a quart pot, and I was also struck several blows with a poker or iron bar. The iron bar, which was square an d o f cons id era bl e thickness, with sharp edges, was produced, and was marked with blood. There were also several quart pots exhibited, battered into various forms by the violence with which they had been used. Witness continued—John Gorman and Gilbert also attacked and beat me. Catherine Gorman came behind me and kicked me and tried to drag me away. My hands and arms are much hurt with the blows I re ceived. I drew my truncheon and used it, but only as little eel could help. I was knocked and kicked out of the room with. constable 156, and we were shut out. There were several others in defendants' party, but they made their escape out of the window. I went to Mr. Churchill, who diessed my wounds, and after . that I went to the hospital. Isaac Trevitt, 156 B, who accompanied the last con stablb to the house, confirmed his statement, and added —I saw Coffer strike constable 122 B three or four blows. He then jumped upon the table and kicked me several times on the back of the head, and we had a tre mendous fight. Coffer and the Gormans struck the other constable with quart pots, and we were obliged to leave the room. When more. police arrived we burst jn the door, and then another dreadful fight ensued, the prisoners and their party using -the pots, poker, and everything that watt moveable m the mote, against us, and we were obliged to use our truncheons. After some time we succeeded in taking the four de fendants into custody. They hal been drinking, but were not drunk. William Dignan, 102 B, said—l went to Oe house with 148 B, and seeing the two constables there ill-used we went in. Coffer immediately struck me on the nine head with a quart pot and wounded me. Dennis Gor man also struck me with a quart pot. I received blows from others with quart pots. Mr. BRODERIP (poitoing, to the battered quart pots produced)--Were the pots bent in that way by inflecting the wounds? Witness—Yes, and in striking the constable. Michael Cary, 161 B, said—John Gorman hit me with a quart pot about the bid) ; he also kicked me several times. Charles Chinn, 63 B, said—l saw Coffer strike 102, and John Gorman 151 B, with pots. He (Gormal) kicked me so severely that I was obliged to go to a doctor, and am now disabled. (Witness had his arm in a sling.) Ellen Gorman tried to rescue John G )rinan from me and incited the mob by using very viol-nt language outside the house. Mr. Churchill, of Burron-street, Pimlico, proved hay. ing,attended to Hubbard's wound on the head, which was not dangerous. It must have been a very heavy blow that he had received, and a quart pot - would cause such a wound. Mr. Taylor, an inspector of the B division, having put in a certificate from St. George's Hospital, stating that a constable was lying there with two mall) wounds, Mr. linonEal . it,lied the prisoners what they had to say? when they made the following remarks:— John Gorman—Half they have said is not right. Dennis Gorman—l say just the same ; I never used a pot. Coffer—lt's no use talking. Gilbert—Those that hit me I hit. The women denied that they had taken any part in the affray. Mr, BRODERlP—Pisoners at the bar, it is my duty to remand you for re-exaarn.stion .r the murderous attack upon the police until Saturday. I will take bail for the women; but the case is of by far too serious a nature for me to take bail for the male prisoners. The witnesses in attendance were then bound over to prosecute the prisoners at the Central Criminal Court. The object of the remand of the prisoners is, of course, to give the wounded constable, now in St. George's Hos pital, an opportunity of making his statement. THE CURRENCY. The following is a copy of a petition to the !rouse of Commons, from the Chamber of Commerce, Glasgow, on the s nbject of the currency:— The petition, &c., humbly showeth, "That this Cham ber consider convertibility to be an essential element in a souhd paper currency; and while thoy protest against the impolicy of legislative interference with the internal management of banks of issue, they hold it to be indis pensable that the notes of such banks should be, by law, payable in gold on demand. " That the existing Acts provide no security for the convertibility of bank-notes, and that convertibility can not be secured by any statutory reserve of gold, which is insufficient to cover the whole obligations of the bank to pay on demand. " That deposits in banks of issue, and the notes of these banks in the hands of the public, are equally payable on demand; and that gold may be demand, d for the one as well as the other. _ " That a demand for gold for exportation must always operate through deposits in the bank, because the notes in active cireulation, as currency, being only used for daily expenditure in transactions between dealer and consumer, and being held in swan Bums, in many hands, nut employed as transfers of c a pi ta l, an d are never presented for plinent in except when suspicio ns arise no se.f the soli , ncy of the bank. t•That a run for gold, caused by susp i c i ons !if insol vency, must opera e through deposits, as well as by not es of the rotes c i rcu l at i ng in the (h i . fa t n t g h dos i d et a : T a .td t: for s i r) o re f laa t h r genet amounts,phue b tc anti depo s it s b e i eg i n f ewer must exhaust any reserve country, and at a distAnce from the Bank, can be pi esented for ps) trent. " That the large capital and unlimited liability of part ners in the Scotch banks are not only a sufficient, but the only security for the convertibility of their notes, that this i , perfectly well understood, and relied on by the people of Scotland. who cannot believe that one milli.in three hundred thousand pounds of gold, held by the banks under the existing Act, is any security for the payment ofthree millions and a half of notes in circu lation, and about thirty millions of deposits payable on demand. " That the existing Acts for regulating the currency are inconvenient and expensive in their operation ; and, while they do nut secure the convertibility of notes, neither can • they check over-trading, the facilities for which are improvident advances of capital, and nut ex traordieary expansions ot•currency. " That in the present crisis, when the country i s placed in unusual difficulties, from the dimihution o floating capital, available tor purposes of commerce ; from a scarcity of food, at d consequent demand tor golii to pay for ex:raortlinary imp. nations of corn ; when our manufactures are suspended in mins* criencc of a scarcity of disposable capital, and a deficient supply and high talc , of the raw material, and when thousands are daily aildeti to the tens tf thousands of our manufacturing popula tion elready thrown out of employment, no measure ought to be lett untried by which (he present distress may be alleviated, and the still greater calamities with which the country appears to be threatened averted. " i hat the very large amount of gold circulating in England, and thelessly held in reserve by the Scotch and Irish banks, may most opportunely and safely be made available to pay for our importations of foreign corn, and to give necessary facilitie-s for commerce; and that for these purposes a very considerable portion of our gold currency may be withdrawn, and replaced by Bank of England notes ot one pound, and the existing enact ments for regulating the issues of the Bank of England and joint-stock banks be repealed. " May it therefore please y ur Honourable House, in consideration ot ►these premises, to sanction the issue o one pound notes by the Batik of England, and to repeal the existing laws ter regulating the issue ot notes by the Bank ot England and joint-stock banks.

THE LATE RIOTS IN DEVON- SHIRE. The following circular —-7 ,b,'en issued by the Lord- Lieutenant co Devon:— " TO THE DIAGiSTRA.TES OF THE - DIVISION. " Exet(r, May 21, 1847. " Gentlemen,—The exaggerated rumours which have been circulated respecting food riots in Devonshirp prompt me to address you at this time, not %%ith the: view of instruCtinc, you in your duty (for on that h ea d I am sure you need L ' no instruction from any one), but to remove from your minds any unfounded impression of what has occurr(d in parts of the county at a dis tancepom you. " The reports which I have, received satisfactorily show that though attempts have been made in some the ton to disturb the public peace and into rrupt thi. free traffic of the markets, they have been speedily put down by the civil power, with the aid of special con• stables, sworn in tor the occasion, anti without the in tervention of any military force. It is &leo most gra,ify ing to know that the attempts in question have hardly in any case originated with those who suffer most trom the present scarcity. " On the contrary, the exemplary patience of the poorer classes under their severe privations reflects the highest credit upon them, and gives them the stronge,t chum on the liberal sympathy of their richer neighbours. "Iu this city s9me tumultuous pruceediucs, com menced in the absence of the nriyor, were on his arrival and through his exertions promptly suppressed by the t:onstatiulary with the support of a small body of pen sioners. And whilst effectual measures have been tak, , i, to enforce order and ensure tranquillity, the citizens o, Exeter have set a noble example to the rest of the county, by the munificence of their contributions fur the aid of the distressed. " The like I know has been done in various other places, and the magistrates have been among the fore most in promoting the work of charity. " The people will not be ungrateful for the kindness *howl' them, but the handle afforded by the pressure of the sto the &signs of ill.disposed person: , demands our most vigilant attention. I therefore confidently rely on your judgment and discretion for frustrating such :design*, wherever there is cause t o a pp re h en d t h e m, by the early formation of an effirient body of 3peeial constables. In this I trust you will obtain the co-operation of all the respectable inhabitants of your district, who will not tail to agree with you and with me that the supremacy of the law is a lW a y s most satis factorily upheld by the civil power, and. th a t m ili tary force ought never to be called in except in cases of urgent necessity. "I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " FORTESCUE." WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—HER MAJESTY'S birthday was celebrated in Wirds'Or to=day by the ring frig of bells, the firing of cannon, en-1 a more than ordi nary consumption of " creature comforts." To write ny the card, the morning was ushered in by joyous peals from the bells of St. John's Church, well seconded by those in the tower on the Castle walls called " JUlius Caesar's Tower," and between them they continued ringing nearly the whole day. At noon the corpora ion ordnance thundered forth a royal salute in the Bache lor's-acre, answered by the royal guns on the Belvidere hatter ) , in the Great park. At five o'clock, P irs., the Mayor and Corporation, assisted by one of the borough Members (Colonel Reid). and a large party of the prin cipal inhabitants and neighbouring gentry, (lid ample justice to a splendid dinnersetbefore them by the artistes de cuisine ut the White Hart Inn, after which mark loyal tos. , ts wet e and heartily r.spontled to.

On Sunda) afternoon the parterre was so crowded with well-dressed comp Any that the band of the Ist Lite Guards were glad to retreat up the flight of steps leading to the eastern terrace. To-morrow (Whit-Tuesday) is the natal day of the infant Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, new with the Cs•urt at Claremont, and it is possible, there tore, that the Court will remain at Claremont until the following day, instead of returning to Buckingham Palace, as stated.

The complainrint, Sarah Kingston, a respectable. looking woman, stated that an intimacy had fer some time subsisted between her sister Mary Anne Husband and the prisoner, and which the former bad resolved to break off about two mouths since, but consented, at his earnest solicitation, to giant the prisoner a parting in terview in the neighbourhood or her own residence. She accordingly left her mother's house for that purpose oa the evening of Saturday, the 15h inst., but nad not been absent more than twenty minutes. when witness, who was at home, heard loud screams of " Murder," in her sister's voice, and on hastening to the spot from which they proceeded, found hcr si-ter struggling vio lently with the prisoner, who was grasping her tightly by the throat with both hands, and exclaiming, " that he was determined to do for her if he died upon the gallows for it." Observing that her sister was per fectly black in the face, gasping her breath, and on the point of drath from strangulanon, she seized the pri soner by the collar and made him rAax his hold, upon which the prisoner threatened that he would do fur her also, and struck her two violent blows upon the face and neck, which caused her to stagger back, when he instantly renewed his attack upon her sister, ' 'whom he struck and kicked several times with all his force upon various parts of her person, until she fell to the ground, when he kicked her again savagely in the side. Her sister raised hers , ..lt up, and attempted to run home, but after tottering a few steps dropped in the street, exclaim. ing, in terrible agony, that her leg was broken. A policeman came up, and advised her sister's removal to a surgeon's, but deciined to take the prisoner into custody, as he had not witness, d the assault, alihough he ex pressed his willingness to att, nd afterward, and give evi dence of what he hail seen, it) warrant were taken out. Her sister was screaming. in the greatest pain, unable to stand, and witness the ref .re ran fur the assistance of her father, but on returning with him found that her sister had already been lifted up by a gentleman who hail been attracted by her cries, and who carried her fithee, where medical assistance was instantly procured, but she had been confined ever since, and un,bte even to raise herself into a sitting posture. Mr. ARNOLD inquired whether the policeman rt.ferred to was in attendauee, but was unswcred in the negative, and one of the warratit-offi,'ern exOtined that, from in qtrries he bud made, it did not appear that the constable had witnessed any part of the assault. Mr. Huristone, the second cleik, having spoken to the severity of the contusiAlS exhibited by the complainant Sarah Kingston upon giving her information for the warrant, a medical certificate was put in from Mr. Vale, a surgeon, of Waterloo•town, stating that the young woman Mary Ann Husband, was suffering from severe injury to the left knee and other parts of her person, that there was great probability that she would never again recover the use of the iiint. and that although he had been in constant attendance upon her horn the 15th inst to the present rimy, the natuYe of the injuries was such as to pre, ule h r leaving h r bed. When called upom for his defence the prisoner, who displayed 2yeat emotion, stated that up , in meeting the young woman Mary Ann Husband at the time of appoint ment, she exhibited such a carelessness and indiff rence towards him, that he could not help upbraiding her with her deception and cruelty ; rip m which she tauntingly told him that she knew others who would treat her much better than be did; and this observation so worked upon his teelings that he p-rh,ps might have struck her as her sister had described, but he had nut the slightest re collection of having done so, he was so thoroughly dis tracted; he could declare positively, however, that he had not kicked her, and that she hail broken her leg ac cidentally herself from a tall she received white turning away jeeringly from nim on his retnonst , ating with her, when he placed his hands upon her shoulders at the back of her neck to endeavour to detain her. He entri wed the magistrate to be merciful, as he was in very humble circumstances, and not in constant employment. Hr. ARNOLD said, that the charge as far as regarded the young woman who was absent was of far too serious a nature to be summarily disposed of, and he should therefore confine himself for the present to the outrage upon her sister, for which he should order him to pay a penalty of 505., or a month's impris;anment in the House of Correction, and issue - a-warrant to the governor of the prison :or his iurther detention to answer the first chirp at the sessions when the woman was sufficiently recovered to appear against him. LAMB E TH. John Boyd, a powerful looking young man, in the garb of WAS played at the bar on the charge of desperately assaulting and attempting to violate the pers , in of Elizabeth Clark. The prosecutrix, a very good-looking young woman, deposed that she was servant in the family of Mr. Newton, a grocer, at Clapham, and having a holiday on the day bcfore, she went to Wandsworth fair. Having met with some friends she was induced to stop there until a late hour, and then got into a steam-boat to return to town. She got out at one of the bridges, but she did not know which, being a stranger in town, and upi.n the opposite si le of the river ; and on passing over the bridge to the Surrey side she rn t the pri over and a keel hurt her way to Clapham common. •Ile replied that he was going that way, and shoal be glad to accompany her there. She told him she did not revire his company, and should be obliged to him merely to point out the way, when he repeated he was going to Clapham, and should accompany her there. He then walked with her some considerable dis tanc.-., and - took her into a field, which he said was the shortest way to Clapham; and when they had got some distance into it he threw her down on the ground, and used the most violent efforts to accomplish his object. She struggled with him as well as she was able; aad cried out " Murder" as loud as she could, and he at length, after abusing her very much, allowed her to get up. She still kept calling out for assistance, and a con stable coming up, she gave the prisoner into custody. From the description of the young woman the con duct of the prisoner appeared to have been of a brutal character. Charles Cattle, 323 V, said, that while on duty on that morning he beard loud screams and cries of " t S Lam Mur der" ar.d whil going quickly towards the p e in Fentiman's - tiel ds, lace from whenc , e they pro ceeded, he saw the last witness running towards him. He asked her what was the matter, but she was in so exhausted a state that was some moments before she could answer him. By this time the prisoner came up to where they wer e . and she gave him in charge for the assault described. The prisoner did not deny the charge, but, appealing to the prosecutrix, expressed a hope she would not give him into custody. The prisoner, who declined saying anything in de fence, was fully committed for trial. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAI- 25.

The exports of the country upon the whole are good. but not i qua! to last year. We turn to the food of man and find that the exports of every article is on a din+ nishin scale. Tnus in 1846 we exported 12 989 quark ters of wheat, barley, oats, but in 1847 only 1,523 gni , of flour. The exports in 1846 were 8.889 cwt. ; in: 1847, 3,331 cwt. Of rice, we export 25,504 cwt. in 1846, and only 647 cwt. in 1847. The value of British and Irish produce exported in 1846 was 6,810,159" sterling, and in 1847 6,524,217/. A difference easily re' gained. In shipping 2.492 vessels of 505,579 tons entered in wards in 1846, against 2,744 vessels of 584.468 tons in 1847. Outwards, in 1846, there were 2,728 ships of 548,447 tons, and in 1847, 2,442 ships of 553.561 tone. The principal increase being in English and America. vessels.
