Several months ago we expressed our solicitude that the time hitherto occupied in polling at the Irish elections should be abbreviated. We are rejoiced that the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland inti mated yesterday evening the probable introduction of a Bill for limiting the duration of the borough elections to a single day, as is practised by the vari ous constituencies of England. That such an enact ment would be an extraordinary boon to the sister island cannot be questioned, as it is notorious that, under the existing system of prolonging the election of the candidates to five days, an opportunity is afforded for the most demoralising proceedings, both on the part of those possessed of the elective franchise, and of those who are, from their position, disqua lified from a direct participation in the selection of a representative. Nor is that disgraceful opportu nity lost upon any occasion where corruption is not prevented by a scarcity of money. Throughout the better part of a week almost every city and borough in the four provinces in Ireland is, during the period of electioneering excitement, the scene of riotous extravagance and of villanous corruption. Not by any means that we would imply a belief in any more excessive predilection on the part of our Irish than on the part of our English fellow-countrymen to finger a golden bribe, but that by the needless extension of the polling time from one day to five days a greater temptation is afforded for corruption and debauchery. Supposing, as is not unfrequently the case, that the five polling days are interrupted by the recurrence of the Sunday, it is deplorable to reflect upon the desecration of that religious festival which naturally results from the prolongation of the local excitement. Nothing whatever can justify the distinction which has hitherto existed between the time allowed for the reception of votes at the polling-booths of England and of Ireland. If in the populous ridings of York shire, and in the dense constituencies of the metro polis and the manufacturing districts, one day is found to be sufficient, surely a similar period would afford ample opportunity to the most numerous of the Irish constituencies. In England the poll closes at four o'clock, notwithstanding the restriction to a single day, while in Ireland it continues open until five during the spring and summer, and until six during the autumn and winter seasons. Either this remarkable difference has been hitherto permitted from a notion that the Milesian race is afflicted with a difficulty in coming to a decision, :or from an anxiety that SAM WELLER'S experiment as to the refrigerating influ ence of pump-water shall be practised upon the inde pendent voters across St. George's Channel. Under any other supposition the difference would be pre posterous. Among the evil consequences known to have re sulted from the extended period of polling in the sister island, is the fact of a considerable: proportion of the unprincipled members of several constituencies having combined, fur the purpose of eliciting enor mous bribes, by threatening, at the eleventh hour, to turn the tables upon the more successful candidate. Sheltered under the appearance of a merely con vivial club, these systematic promoters of cor ruption have deputed a confidential agent to negotiate the " understanding" with the party threatened, and bargains have been thereby effected in some instances for no very trifling consi deration. Such are the grievances which are inevi table from this unnecessary protraction of the hours of polling. Until the alteration hinted at last night by Mr. LA/30UCHERE be introduced to the consideration of Parliament we shall continue to anticipate not merely a restriction of the period hitherto engrossed in the city and borough elections, but in the county elec tions likewise. We are doubly desirous to witness such a modification in the existing system ; we are desirous at once for the better facilitation of business and for the prevention of many demoralising prac tices. A singular circumstance occurred yesterday. The price of corn in the market rose from six shillings to eight shillings per quarter ; and the public are ap prised by some of the morning journals of to-day, that simultaneously with the above rise a further reduction in the price of bread was sanctioned by the bakers generally throughout the metropolis. From the latter fact we augur favourably that the enhanced price of grain will speedily be reduced. The slightest whisper or the most naked ru mour suffices to act upon the sensitive nerves of the corn-holders. Their wits, too, are as keen for combination to create a delusive panic, where gain, immediate and prospective, attends the opera tion, as they are ready to resign the speculative movement when their minds are tickled with the ap prehension that they may be playing a losing game. The moment the fine weather set in the price of corn, and of course that of bread, began to yield con siderably. Two presumptions rationally accounted for this relaxation in price. The one, that large sup plies of foreign corn were known to be on their way to our shores ; the other, that the appearance of the crops promised abundantly for the ensuing harvest. There was, moreover, a third, encouragingly adverted to not long since by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE in Parliament, and which, we believe, those who were best in the secret knew well enough was not an exaggerated inference, and which further reason was, that the home stock was considerably beyond the quantity which it was generally supposed we had in hand. Now it is quite manifest that if we are to be subjected to the scarcity which it was, and is still, contended by some will be our fate till the sickle shall have laid low the corn which is now ripening, w e never should have witnessed the abatement in prices that took place concurrently with the commencement of the w arm weather. Prices would have been kept up notwithstanding, and particularly when it is re membered that, much about the same time, Lord ASHBURTON, the Earl of HARDWICKE, and others in the House of Peers expressed their fears that during the summer there would be a serious deficiency in the staple commodity of food. Still, as we have observed, the prices fell, and fell rapidly. Touching the rise in price of yesterday, we may remark—first, that the corn holders have still, and will continue to have till sufficient time shall have elapsed fully to develop the blessings of free trade in grain of all kinds, great power in drilling the market so as to delude and alarm the public on the one hand, and to serve their own objects on the other. Next, we would mention that there are but two tangible reasons for accounting for the recent impr ove d pr i ce ; f i rst, the intelligence that reached onlyifar s omlreland a, yesterday morn i ng, i n an au th en ti c s h ape, fre o n f te t d he b p y tohteatoplant symptoms in which that preceded country beingagain the fatal bli g h t of last year am and ;and, neat, the variation from excessiv e h eat to comparative chilliness which last few ' prevailed in the at mosphere for the days. In our remarks of yesterday we pointed out the mode in which we could provide against the danger that would attend a second general failure in the potato-crop, that being forewarned we were forearmed. We conceive, therefore, that there is no real cause fora alarm a s to LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1847. -flied dearness in the prices of bread, and of s generally, and that, provided we be blessed ie summer, we shall be saved the repetition tional distress which has been so keenly felt r the humbler classes of the community. A sho rt time since we alluded to the vast import ance of ' the subject brought forward by Mr. EWART, " That a more direct system of taxation on property should (as far as possible) be substituted for the in direct I system (by Customs and Excise duties) now in use"- -and we asserted that the present system was not o aly unjust in principle, but impolitic in practice —r tia t only inequitable, but inexpedient. The first po' Int, undoubtedly, that should be taken into consi de ration, in a nation of upright and honourable men, is the strict justice, the undoubted equity of an y charge, burden, tax, or impost, that is ab DI, it to be established or retained. We mi ISt act with public faith to the national creditor, an d G 'CD forbid that any cause should induce English men ) repudiate the engagements of their fathers, or in any particular to infringe upon the just rights of the fiu idholder, or, by an unwise economy, to reduce our a ational establishments below what is re quired for the public service, or in any manner to impait or weaken their efficiency. But, in order to come, to a correct conclusion as to the manner in whi d h the necessary funds should be raised, it wil 1 be desirable to consider the nature of the ch: ages that are to be provided for, and for whose esi )ecial benefit these charges were created, and wh Rther there is any fund from which they can gro pe: sly be defrayed. The chief items in the national ex penditure, amounting to considerably more than a m oiety of the whole, consist of the payments for the in terest and management of our national debt, which fo r the year ending in April last amounted to no less th 2./1 28,055,2021. 3s. 6d. sterling, and this enormous su n i will !be further increased by the interest of the 8,5 )C )0,0001. recently borrowed, and the higher rate of interest payable on the unfunded debt. The whole, or by far the greater part of this debt, was con trrec ted during periods of war for the protection and pies ervation of the property of the country, and it is therefore by the owners of that property that it strut aid be satisfied. No private individual would be ju sl ified in charging the industry of his children with al 13- debt he might think proper to contract beyond tl ie amount of property which they should inherit Etc) m him. Any attempt to do so would be treated wi th well-merited scorn and contempt. Still more ab 3 urd would it be, if he possessed large estates and e:'t ensive domains which he desired to improve) a ncl leave unincumbered to his eldest and favourite son , while he directed his younger children to p ay all incumbrances which he may have incurred in i m proving and preserving the property for their for t,crnate brother. Yet it is something nearly similar 1 that we are called upon to do. Enormous debts are contracted, which should have been provided for out of the property existing at the time they were ierkeated ; but that property is handed down rnincumbered to the present possessors, while t,be industry of the people—those who were then unborn, and could not possibly have derived any benefit therefrom—is to be burdened with the payment. We , cannot understand on what principle of justice this anomaly can be supported. In bygone days but little regard was paid to popular rights; the legislators c onsisted altogether of the favoured class, and laws were made for the benefit of their order, without considering how deeply the " oi r2XXot" might be affected. Of late years, however, there has been a great improvement in this respect. Many abuses have been reformed and grievances swept away, a greater amount of popular strength has been infused into the National Councils, and there is now little dringer of any gross injustice being perpetrated. But that to which we have alluded has become " An aged vice, a grey iniquity." We have submitted so long that the manifest impro priety of the charge is lost sight of, and the inhe ritors and owners of property would consider them selves very ill-used gentlemen if they were called upon to provide exclusively for the interest of the debt. It is, however, for the people to say whether they will consent to a continuance of the system. They have justice on their side, and they have also the power of enforcing their rights. We have de monstrated that the twenty-eight million pounds sterling, now paid by the indirect taxation of the people, should in equity be provided for by the imposition of a property (not an income) tax. The remaining charges, in round terms, amount to twenty-three million pounds sterling, of which nearly seventeen millions are required for our army, navy, and ordnance, and nearly three millions for the civil list and our diplomatic and judicial establish ments, pensions, &c. A large proportion of these will also be fairly chargeable upon the property, and not upon the industry of the country, as it is for the protection of that property and its more secure en joyment that they are incurred. We shall, on a future occasion, show that it would be for the benefit of all, without excepting even the owners of property, that the national revenue should be collected by a direct tax on property, in place of the present in direct system. Madrid papers of the Ist inst. have arrived. It was reported at Madrid that the Spanish troops had entered Portugal, and that after some skirmishing with the troops of the Junta, they had succeeded in reinforcing the garrison of Valenza de Minho. The Government, however, had received no official intelli gence on the subject. The finances of Spain are, according to the Faro, in a wretched state. That journal says— " The woeful state of the public treasury is at every moment aggravated, and a financial crisis is daily to be dreaded, which may entail fearful consequences. The collection of the revenue is in a truly deplorable condi tion. It is with great difficulty that in each month half of what was collected in the preceding one can be pro cured. Owing to this falling off of the receipts, the State's resources are considerably declining, and, as we had anticipated, the Bank refuses to make up for the d Dl e se fi tb c oi t Debt, amounting xt h i tn a . l g f tST-oehaaeru'eos expedition pt n e t 4 e d3 r i l e oi s os o t no o ,to n oo t o h l. e Three per Cent. , Portugal falls mustdue o n the a considerable expense; and, lastly, the Government must find means of paying the clergy a third of their dotation, which they have but too long been waiting for. How are all these demands to be provided for? How are such difficulties to be overcome? The half-year of the current service will also be due a month hence; and, under such critical circumstances, recourse must be had to anticipations which can only be obtained by sacri ficing some rich branch of the revenue. Thus advances, mortgages, and contracts succeedinr , one another, the best and most certain portion of the' public resources will be consumed and devoured in advance, and our en gagements will by AO possible means be fulfilled. The future, therefore, looks more sad, gloomy, and distress ing than ever." It is said that General SERRANO is ill with fever. The POPE'S Nuncio is endeavouring by every means in his power to make himself popular in Spain, and expesses himself much gratified with his reception. There have been food riots in Grenada. Queen ClausTINA left Naples for Rome on the 30th. She goes from thence to Leghorn, where she is to embark on board the French steamer Panama, for Toulon. It is said she has requested permission to return to Spain. According to the Clamor Publico, attempts are making to corrupt the army and seduce them from their allegiance to the QUEEN.

The journal which I direct has, in a hundred instances, defended the peerage, and for me to attack it now would be a grave want of consistency. As to the allegations made in the Presse of the 12th of May, I maintain its strict exactitude; and if I think fit at present to say nothing more, I do not, on the other hand, retract a single word of my former assertion. lon that occasion said what I meant, and I meant what I said. But what was it that I alleged? Did I affirm that Peers had purchased a right to sit in the other Chamber? No—nothi ng o f the kind. I de clared that promises of peerages had been sold. The Government may deny the fact, as it has denied that the office of referendary at the Court of Accounts was sold, as it has denied that the privilege of a third lyric theatre was accorded to a journal (the Epoque) which obtained for it 100,000 f. It may, in tact, deny everything ; but between the denial of Minis ters having an interest to deny everything, and the affirmation of a Deputy having no interest to say but what is true, the Chamber and the country will decide. As to the question of a committee being elected fa vourable to the authorisation, I do not think I ought to examine it. I shall merely confine myself to demand ing from the bureau, of which I form part, to be guided in its choice only by considerations drawn exclusively from the relations established between the two Cham bers, and to put aside completely everything connected with myself personally. I have not sought the Oat and publicity of these proceedings ; but, on the other hand, I have done nothing to avoid them. I have no feitr as to the result, and, should a struggle arise between the Ministry and myself, I certainly shall not give way, but shall defend my assertion, not only in the Chamber to which I belong, but in the Chamber of Peers." M. GUIZOT declared his great anxiety to have all the facts of the case elucidated. On this subject the Journal des Debats says— " The Chamber of Deputies proceeded in its Com mittee-rooms, on Saturday, to appoint a Commission to examine the demand made by the Chamber of Peers to be authorised to summon to their bar M. Emile de Girar din, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. A consi derable majority declared in favour of the demand. Several Members, however, expressed a wish to reserve their opinion until the author of the article complained of should have given an explanation. The Ministers were in favour of the demand of the Peers. M. Guizot declared that he sincerely desired that the facts should be com pletely elucidated. M. Cunin-Gridaine observed that the pretended sale of promises of a peerage, to which the Presse alluded, did not appear to the Cabinet of a nature to be noticed ; but that now, when a discussion had been commenced, it became necessary that the truth should be made known. The Opposition in gene ral repelled the principle of delivering up one of the Members of the Chamber of Deputies to the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Peers. Of nine commissioners two only, MM. Paillet and Lim de Malleville, were named by the Opposition. The other commissioners are MM. de Saint Aignau, Lavielle, Cousture, Delangle, De Morny, d'Haussonville, and Gillon." The Presse makes no comment whatever on the proceedings in the Bureaux. Marshal BUGEAUD was to leave Algiers for France on the sth June. The correspondent of the National gives the following account of the cruelties practised by him in his late expedition into Kabylia:— .' Several villages were carried, they may indeed be called towns, for one reckoned a population of above 6,000 souls. They were defended by towers. The Marshal himself ordered the devastation. It had been agreed that the firing of three guns should be the signal for the cessation of the pillage. The troops, carried away by their ardour, rushed to the villages, and sacked everywhere trinkets, j-wels, precious clothes, carpets, goods of all sorts, arms in abundance, and gold and silver in profusion, became their prey. The booty was immense. Innumeranle jars of oil were broken; streams of oil were spread in all directions, arid the conflagration kindled in the houses soon reached that sheet of eminently combustible liquid. It was a horrible scene. All the inhabitants who were on the soldiers' passage were put to the sword. Amidst this shockiog, confu sion, the Marshal saw a Kabyl chieftain of athletic sta ture running to him, and, by his gestures and cries, asking to see the commander of the French army. Ile had come to demand that the devastation be put an end to, tendering the submission of his countrymen. There was in his voice and face such sorrow and such sincerity, that, overaane by his prayers, the Marshal ordered the three guns to be fired, when the pillage and devastation ceased, to the great regret of the Marshal, who, as he observed last night on his terrace, would willingly have been more vigorously attacked, in order that he might have destroyed more, and inflicted a still severer lesson." The Nation al's correspondent adds that the country thus cruelly devastated is most beautiful and fertile, and that whilst publicly proclaiming the final re duction of the Kabyls, the Marshal was heard to say, the very evening before, " Kabylia is subdued, but I answer not for the future. Nothing is secured and firmly settled : we may have to begin again in six months." The Journal des Debats states that the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to whom the Bill was referred, which was !presented by the Government, demanding an extraordinary credit of 3,000,000 f. for the establishment of agricultural camps in Algeria, had unanimously declared against its principle. " We learn," says the Union Illonarchique, " that domiciliary visits have been made in certain hotels of the Faubourg St. Germain, and at the residences of persons who have afforded some marks of interest and sympathy to the Spanish refugees. The autho rities displayed extraordinary force, and several com missaries of police directed the search. The warrants, we are assured, were directed against M. le Comte DE MONTEMOLIN. In a single house more than 40 agents were employed to examine the apartments, cellars, and garrets ; but in vain—the pursuit was ineffectual." In the Passage de "Opera, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were done at 79f. 10c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 7.

I have to acquaint you that I have been this day in formed that the Wellington, bound for Westport, from America, was plundered of a large quantity of her cargo (Indian corn meal) off the entrance of Black Sod Bay on the 2d inst. The Fearless steamer and the Emerald cutter were, I understand, both under weigh not far from the plundered vessel at the time, but could not distinguish her in conse quence of a thick haze which then prevailed and also from her being close under the high land of Achill Island. RELATING TO THE MEDUSA AND THE MANLEY. A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign.. office, inclosing a copy of a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at Manilla, dated 10th March, 1847, reporting the loss of the British merchant ships Medusa, from Liverpool to China, in the Bay of Lampong, on the Pacific coast of Manilla ; and the total loss also of the Manley, trom Lombock to Macao, on a reef off Point Montufar, in lat. 13 7, and long. 24 7, about four miles from the shore. The master states that the reef is not laid down on the charts, nor stated in lkorsburgh's Directory, though near a common passage for vessels passing through the Straits of Bernardino.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, but not so active. Sales 4,000 bales, with a good sup ply. There were 2,300 bales of American at 64d. to lid. and 1,000 of Surat at 4d. to sd. per lb. Railway Shares were at about previous rates, with a moderate business doing. There was no particular movement. The steam communication with the American conti nent appears likely, from the preparations making, to become much more frequent than hitherto, and there will be some competition between the American and English companies. The new Oceanic line will ere long be in operation, and it is pr , sumed tl.at the port of Southampton will not only have its southern trade developed, but likewise participate in the American trade, and supply various important foreign articles of consumption by means of continuous lines of railway. not only to the manutactur ing districts, but even to the more northern parts of the United Kingdom. In this respect much will dep' rd upon the tariff of charges established by the railway companies. As we mentioned' on a former occasion, the coasting trade must suffer, but for this we really see no alternative, and the just course will be to relieve the shipping interest of some of irs burdens. The state of the Corn Market yesterday has had rather an unfavourable effect upon the general tone of business, and it is on every side regretted that such fluctuations occur, as there is a constant anxious watch ing of the prices of food. The large number of vessels on the voyage here will probably occasion a 'very decided reaction when they arrive.

This cause came on for judgment to-day, and his LORDSIIIP stated that he adhered to the opinion he had already expressed, and would accordingly make a decree in conformity with that opinion. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied the whole of this day with the special paper. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) BAMBRIDGE V. BLACK. Mr. Buss applied to the court to enter up judgment in this case nuns pro tune. It was an action of trespass which was tried at the York assizes, and there was an arrest of judgment moved, which was granted. In the meantime the plaintiff had gone abroad, and was last seen in October, clinging to his water-logged vessel in the White Sea; there was every reason to suppose that he had perished. Mr. Justice IA 'GUTMAN take a rule to show cause. THE QUEEN V. COUGH.—ThE RIGHTS OF PARISHIONERS . Mr. GREENWOOD applied for a mandamus against the Rev. Jusvph Cough, custos of the Cathedral Church of St. Peter's, at Exeter, to admit Francis R. Hold and Joseph Gibbings as churchwardens. The question which it was desired to raise was, whether the parish ioners had a right to appoint both the churchwardens. or, according to the canon. the right vested in the custos to appoint one, and the parishioners the other. The "ffi davit stated that the parishioners had always exercise(' the right c o ntended for without any interferen ce what aver. and the custos has never refused to swear in those ap pointed. Air. Justice WIOUTMAN granted the application. CROSS V. SAUL. Mr. COWLEY applied for a rule nisi to restrain the. Judge of the County Palatine Court, i n High-street, Liverpool, from taking cognizance of this case. The de fendant was the owner of a vessel, and he was in th, habit of conveying passengers from Liverpool to New York, and of providing the necessaries for the passage. It appeared that the vessel sailed on the 11th of Apri. last, and was lost on. the coast of Wexford ; the vessk 1 became an entire wreck, but the passengers were all saved, and were brought back to Liverpool; numerous actions had been brought by the passengers for the recovery of their passage money. Most of these actions were for sums under 51., and the ground of the motion was the necessity of awaiting the decision of the Court of Exchequer, where there was a similar action against the defendant now pending, as the decision there would guide the remainder of the cases. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—You must make the appli cation before the full Court. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) BOWKER V. FARMERY. This was a summons under the Bankrupt Act, in order to have the defendant declared a bankrupt on non-pay ment of a debt due to the plaintiff, who is a stock and share broker in Cornbill. Mr. TALHOURDIN, the defendant's solicitor, attended, and stated that it was quite impossible for the defendant to appear, as he was in custody in the Giltspur-street Compter on a charge of forgery, and therefore submitted that the summons should be dismissed. Mr. MORGAN, who appeared for the plaintiff, contended that this was not a lawful impediment, inasmuch as the defendant might be brought up on an habeas. Mr. TALHOURDIN contended that the detainer under a warrant was a legal excuse for non-appearance. His HONOUR, however, was of a contrary opinion; but would extend the time for the habeas to be obtained. Mr. MORGAN said his clients were anxious to obtain the fiat, as there was considerable property which would be made away with. He was also interested for the South-Western Railway Company, who were interested in the case, and there were three prosecutions. The time, therefore, to be allowed should be very short. Mr. TALHOURDIN said the defendant would be brought up for re-examination on Saturday, and per haps the gaoler would bring him round to this court. His HONOUR said that he was very unwilling to put a man, situated as the defendant was, to the great expense of an habeas. Mr MORGAN said it was very questionable whether the gaoler would have authority to bring him here. His HONOUR—He may be liberated. Mr. TALHOURDIN—N o , certainly not; lie is certain to be committed. It was then suggested that an application should be made to the governor of the Compter, and if he did not think himself justified in bringing his prisoner to this court, then an habeas should be applied for, that he !night cow- up . Mr. TA LHOURDIN sul d :t ;:t)t, t vtoiiht gr,nt the hubez,; it n .t, the non tcpp..4l - would of cuutse be taken as excusaib,e arising Wail a lawful impediment. He, however, could state that the defendant was not a trader, and therefore that the awn- WWI Wit fall to the grounds His HONOUR said he could not go into that matter unless the defendant appeared to the summons. The suggestion as to the adjournment was then agreed to. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Henry Carroll, a flashily-drei,sed young fellow, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a large quantity of sheets, table linen, and various other articles, the property of Madame Domberg, 27, North Audley-street.. The prusecutrix stated that she left her residence on the 19th of September last, leaving a room locked up, in which she had deposited for safety two boxes contain ing valuable linen and a dressing-case, 'which were also secured by patent locks. On the 13th of October fol- In.wing she received information that the room had been broken open, and the b , .xe, ransacked of their contents. She subsequently gave inti•rmation of the rubbery to the police. - Elizabeth Ward, 3, Ladbroke-mews, Notting hill, said she formerly lived as servant with the Frosecutrix. On her leaving town witness remained in the house, and oc capied a room adjoining the one in which the property was deposited. About a fortnight after Madame left town she, by the prisoner's per,:ua'ion, broke the win dow, and. having forced back the fastening. enter ed the room, followed by the prisoner, who proceeded to break open two of the boxes and the dressing-case. The things were not taken out of the boxes that night, but a few days afterwards she took some linen out of one of the boxes, and the remainder was taken away by the pri saner. He took the property away in a cab to a house in Newton-row, Westbourne.grove, where it was left. She knew nothing further about it. Jesse Jeap - er, 146 C, said, on receiving information of the robbery he went to the residence of last witness, and asked her whether she did not formerly live with Madame Domberg. She said "Yes, she did." He then asked her if she knew anything about some linen that was stolen from 27, North Audley-street. She hesitated a long time, whe❑ her mother said "You know all about the linen, why not tell the constable?" She then told him that she and the prisoner broke into the room, and, after breaking open the boxes, took away a quantity of linen, which they took to a house in Newton-row, West bourne-grove, occupied by a woman of the name of Webbe. Witness subsequently saw that person, who told him that the prisoner had brought a quantity of linen which he wished her to purchase. On her refusing to have anything to do with it, the prisoner called a cab and took it away. Witness added that Mrs. Webb was not able to come forward this morning, but if the pri soner was remanded for a short period, she would attend. The prisoner was then remanded till Thursday next. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) Sarah Barrington, a respectable-looking female, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a shawl from the person of Elh-n Walsh°. Complainant said that about twelve o'clock last night, she was passing the end of Horsemonger-lane, when the prisoner came up to her, pulled the shawl from h. r shoulders, and gave it to a man who ran away. She, however, caught hold of her and kept her until a police man came up, into whose custody she gave her. Prisoner—Oh, dear, how can you say so? I am a re spect:tble woman, and know nothing of your shawl. Ylur Worship. I had been to my sister's in Botolph-lane, celebrating Belton fair, and I know nothing of the female who now charges me with robbery The complainant still asserted that the prisoner.was the person who robbed her. The prisoner, on hearing this, became extremely violent, vociferating that she had never seen the com lainart before, and that she must h a v e b een • • d ream i ng ab,azt the shawl. Mr. COTTINGHAM told her tha! sine must tend for her sister, or some of her friends, as it was quite evident, 'rum her manner, that she ought to be under proper restraint; in fact, she appeared to have escaped from the pr , tecti,n of her frii , nds. Prisoner—Me mad ! why, I am as sane as you. My dear Sir, don't ht ieve what they say against me. Mr. CoTTINGHAM directe t her to be taken care of until her friends were appri.ed of her situAtion, tihe was then removed from the ttock. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) Henry Williams and John Jones were charged with having stolen two suits of c!othes from the house of a Mrs. Watson, No. 5, Fox-lane, Mary Ann-place, Shadwell. The case displayed great negligence on the part of a nelicernnn, whose number is at present unknown. It ap peared the, yesterday morning the prosecutrix had (Tea sion to go out, and prior to doing so she locked up her house. On her return she fourvi the house had been • ntered, and two good suits of clothes taken. A neigh bour, who had teen the prisoners coming out of hel: house with a largo bundle, and who suspectM something wrong, followed them as far as the George Inn in the Commer cial-road. They went into a house near, and seeing a policeman standing a little distance off, she informed him of the occurrence, but he would not inter:ere, as the woman could not swear she had seen them come out of the prosecutrix's house. Potter, a constable of the detective force, said from the description he had received he knew the prisoners at once, and apprehended them last night at the Barley Mow. In Jones's pocket he found a key which opened the door of the house in Fox-lane. Mr. BALLANTINE said he should remand them both for a week, and directed Inspector Holmes, in the in terim, to ascertain who the policeman was that was on duty by the George, and bring him before him. As the case stood at present it was almost conniving at a felony. HA MBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL. SURICe, BELGIUM, MAY 30.—A most fearful thunder storm visited the commune of Surice and its environs on the 29th, at 5 o'clock in the evening. Masses of dense clouds traversed the horizon from west to east, with astonishing rapidity, accompahied by violent claps of thunder which seemed to rend the heavens, and vivid flashes of lightning darted across the sky, suddenly all was still, which caused the greatest alarm among the in• habitants, when about half past six, torrents of rain so completely inundated Surice and its environs that it was literally converted into a vast lake. The wind was so fearfully high that many of the largest trees were up rooted, the houses were unroofed, and every window broken, and enormous masses and large branches of trees were carried through the air. Such was the vio lence of the wind, that it even compelled the carriages along the streets, the losses sustained in the country is immense. The crops have suffered exceedingly. Seve ral places were completely destroyed, and the fine pro mising gardens are converted into ruins. These ravages seem the more deplorable at the very moment when all are looking forward to an abundant harvest. Tha con sternation of the inhabitants is very great, and even those who are little accustomed to recognise the sovereign power of God are humbling themselves in prayer. The approaching election in Belgium gives rise to continued polemics during the last few days in the vari ous journals. The Ministerial press combats the nomi nation of the libera!s with great violence, if we may judge from the article published in the Courrier d' Anvers IiAVARIA, MUNICH, MAY 29.—We learn from an au thentic quarter, that soon after the 'p.ning of the Bi uchausen baths, it is he intention of his Majesty to cake a stay of several weeks there.

FOREIGN CORN MARKETS. BRUSSELS, JUNE 4.—At the Antwerp market this day, while there is a general fall in all the markets in the country, some speculators spread the report that the stock of corn in the hands of our farmers was almost exhausted, in ord er to ma i nta i n the h i gh prices. Their object was however frustrated ; as the falsity of the report was but too evident. Every week brings us in creasing supplies of corn, and on this day, our markets were even better stocked than heretofore. Rye, espe • cially, was more abundant than it has been fur a whole year, prices did not however fluctuate much. Wheat was sold by the sack at 32 10 per hectolitre, and rye at 23 to 25. There was a good supply of oats which fell 50 cents. per hectolitre. Everything that was offered for sale found ready purchasers. As the new crop of pota toes is now brought in increasing large quantities to market, there is a decrease in the supply of the old stock, which has, in consequence; risen about a franc per sack. The price of butter fell 9 centimes. DORDRECHT, JUNE 3.—The fall in other markets has also caused a reaction here in spite of the small arrivals Wheat fell 50 cents., winter barley 70 cents., and sum mer barley 60 cents.

EMILE DB GIEARDIN. In the first bureaux, M. EMILE DE GIRAEDIN himself spoke, and gave the following explanation of his conduct:— " The Honourable Deputy commenced by declaring that he was altogether a stranger to the course adopted by the Count de Pontois in the Chamber of Peers, and that the report that the proposition of the Noble Peer had been presented at his instigation was a calumny alike against Honourable Peers and himself. I belong temnorarily,' continued the Honourable Deputy, to the Opposition, and have been so from the day that M. Guizot ascended the tribune, the 26th of March, and disavowed his language at Lisieux, arrogantly sending to sit on the benches of the Left those Members of the majority who were not of opinion that everything was going on perfectly well. I certainly desire the existence of the Cabinet to be of short dura tion, but I do not want to see it overthrown by an in trigue; and it would be one were I to participate in the Presentation of the propo-iti..n which so materially affects the Ministry. T:43 Cabinet, it it falls, ought t. Come down under the weight of its seven years' impuis sance. Having said so much, I have now to declare that I never had any intention of offending the '- )n entered without the 101°,./r struck cut by the titae to be left in. .--Fr ° .. 131 ,,, THE LATE FI RE IN T HEOBALD ' S -Ro—• inquiries made on the spot, we are happy to b e able of that no life has been l os t, an d th at b eyon d t he lose °,lOOl perty (nut of a very considerable amount), and the mt. , and inconvenience which mu s t at a ll t i mes atten d O f ful accidents, no injury has been sustained.
