-- • late that its value would be nearly doubled by a reduction of this duty to one-half the present amount. The consular returns for the past year are not yet pub lished, and as no other statistical accounts of imports are kept, excepting the stocks of cotton and yarn, we are unable to enter so fully into the s tate of our trade as this usual Chinese at this season, the lists of sales furnisheddeus b Wye ith respect to being too imperfect to serve as a gut . cotton, the deliveries of this year have ßo m again fallen off ; there Igo— i nc rease in the quantity of bay staple, but this m e accounted for by the short supplies of other de ecriptiolas. Prices have been most ruinous—lower than was ever before known. T he following table . of the deliveries this year, compared w ith the three previous years, speaks volumes: Bombay. Bengal. Madras. America n . Total. 18,371 82,108 2,898 258,632 1846 205,255 31,10 , 2 60,151 3,015 278,587 1845 ... 183, 719 1814 ... 229,123 46,126 66,564 6,192 348,005 1843 ... 231,540 231,540 The decline in our cotton trade deserves particular atten tion : the consumption of the raw material is no doubt seriously interfered with by the increasing imports of menu factured goods ; but there is a much greater drawback in the excessive land-tax imposed on the producer by the East India Company. The shipments of this article are now ear ly decreasing ; the losses of the past year will still further curtail them; and it is evident that the cultivator of India, burdened so heavily, cannot compete with the native of this country. The abolishment of most monopolies in England has taught us that increased consumption is the result only of a decrease in cost price—and in this age of retrenchment and commercial reform, the Government of India will do well to make some alteration in their policy before it is too late ; it is unnecessary to predict the consequences should they not remain satisfied with the " golden egg." But besides the prostration of the cotton trade, the working of the salt and opium monopolies also deserve the particular attention of the lords of Leaden hall-street. The re-establishment a Chamber of Commerce in this city has created consi.lerable interest during the month. At the time the Chinese imprisoned the foreign rsi slants in the factories, April, 1839, it was dissolved, and we have since experienced many difficulties from the absence of that union which constitutes strength. As a body we shall now be able to protect ourselves against the illegal encroachments of the consul and super intendent (2) of trade. The events that have lately occurred it is hardly within the province of a trade cir cular to recount, but they must be fresh in the recol lection of ail. The collection of information respecting our trade, however, is the principal object for the re-organi zation of the Chamber ; the only regular accounts, as we observed before, being kept in the Con,ular-office; t•ese an published but once a year, and, fo , m the omission of opium as an illegal article, present a very incorrect view of the business carried on, the value of the drug alone being equal to that of all other imports aggregately. There is also a prospect that several abuses of the old Hong monoply sys tem still remaining rill he swept UNDER THE SANCTION OF HER MOST GRACIOUS MA JESTY THE QUEEN. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

After the transaction of private business, the presen tation of petitions. and the ordering of vsfrious returns, Th e Le,houring Poor (Ireland) Bill, was, after a short conversation, read a third time on the motion of Mr. LABOUCHERE. The report on the Landed Property Advane,es (Ireland) Bill, was brought up, as was the report of th e Committ ee on Ways and Means. Mr. T. DuNcomas drew the attention of the House to :he treatment of the convicts at Woolwich, as detailed in ,he evidence before the late inquest. Sir G. GREY had received no official account of the inquest. Mr. CHRISTIE postponed his motion relative to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge until after Easter. Mr. WATSON then moved the second reacting o f the Roman Catholic Reli , f Bill, the principle of which was that no man should be liable to penal laws for the pro fession of his religious faith. Sir 11. !Nails objected to the Bill on principle, a s de priving the Established Church of those securities which had been guaranteed at the passing of Catholic emanci pation. He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Colonel SII3THORPE seconded the amendment. Mr. B. EscoTT, believing that these enactments were only kept upon the statute-book to gratify the pride of those who delighted in tormenting their fellow-creatures, would give his hearty support to the measure. Mr. SHAW opposed the Bill. Mr. MACAULY supported the Bill, because some of the laws sought to be repealed were so utterly repugnant to good feeling that no person would venture to carry them out. He, however, would not consent to allow the celebration of processions, because such processions were contrary to decency and public order. Mr. FINCH would tolerate every church in exiatenoe except the Church of Rome. Mr. Sstrra O'BRIEN supported the Bill. Mr. SPOONER considered this as another inroad on the constitution of the country. Mr. J. O'CowlfELL considered it a stigma upon the character of the House that they should consume four or five hours in debating whether or no these laws, which were admitted to be inoperative, should be repealed. Mr. NEWDZOLTE considered this as a measure which would remove all the bttlwarka of the constitution, and erect nothing in their place. Lord G. BNNTINcx supported the second reading of the Bill. Sir R. PEEL supported the second reading of the Bill, reserving to himself the right to oppose certain portions of it at a future stage. Mr. LAW and Mr. GouLnunx opposed the second reading, which was supported by Lord ARUNDEL; after which, Mr. WATSON replied, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority for the second reading —3 The Bill was then read a second time, and the House adjourned.

This morning a meeting of the capitalists of London took place at the Treasury, to bid for the intended loan of 8,000,0001. for the relief of the destitute of Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER took the chair. There were present :—Baron Rothschild and his brother, Mr. Bates, of the firm of Baring Brothers, Sir I. L.Goldsmid ; Messrs. W. B. Williams, Lawrence, T. Baring, Wills, Thomson A. Hankey, F. Ricardo, H. St. J. Mildmay, J. G. Scott, James Capel, George Barnard, and many other wealthy capitalists. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated the terms upon which the contract for eight millions was to be bid for. He said he must have the money in whole before the 15th of October next. He therefore proposed to take tenders on Monday next for the loan, in one lot. The Govern ment desired to make the loan in Consols, and the biddings would be in a money payment, 1001. Con sols (at a minimum price to be fixed by the Government, a sealed paper with respect to which would be placed upon the table) at a price above the quotation in the sealed paper. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would not upon any account allow of discount. Many of the moneyed men who were present urged a more liberal proposition on the part of the Government, but he re resolved to adhere to his proposition. The paymenbs to this loan are to be by monthly instalments, and if regularly paid up to July, to hear interest from January last. A deficiency of intelligence in the dispatches from our Oriental possessions is always to us matter of earnest gratulation. Like many other ancient apophthegms, that which asserts "no news" to be synonymous - with " good news," is peculiarly correct in reference to India. Instead of containing deplor able narratives of slaughter and duplicity, the papers received in anticipation of the Overland Mail are cha racterised by an agreeable and consolatory dearth of information. Little more than the ceremonious rati fication of our treaty with the Seikhs has diversified the monotony of Asiatic affairs, that ratification having been formally completed by the Governor- General and DHULBEP SINGH, on the festival of Christmas. Although we can scarcely count upon the permanency of any quietude among the fickle habitants of those territories, there is some pro bability that the arrangement just completed between the British Government and the Durbar of Lahore, will be of much longer continuance than any which has been hitherto effected in that quarter. The so journ of our regiments in the subjugated districts must for a considerable time be a sufficient guarantee of the stability of the recent pacification ; and the presence of our representative in the capital will in sure the prevention of any hostile conspiracy among the political leaders of the Seikhs. Beyond what has already been accomplished for the preservati,n of tranquillity since the banishment of the QUEEN'S paramour, it is ascertained that four Seikh corps have been enrolled, under the direction of Captain LAWRILDICE, as a frontier brigade at Peshawur. Every measure, indeed, is being adopted by the Executive for the carrying out of the principle of the stipulations, and 'we would fain anticipate the most beneficent consequences from this actiity, but that the inflammatory materials with which these efforts are necessarily being effecred irresistibly impress the mind with a sense of uncertainty. Among the miscellaneous intelligence obtained from India we regret to perceive a repetition of those wanton paroxysms of cruelty u hick have ahead) attached so much odium to the name of AKBAh KHAN. It would seem that that redoubtable chieftain has been wreaking his vengeance upon the by the disincli na ti on o f h i s father, for the grat ifi cat i on of a p i que uneffending inhabitants of a vill a g e s it ua t e d near inspired Cherokee, venerable en ble DOST MAHom,D, to reject the simply advances made by the Vakeel wh o h a d been deputed to Caubul by the British Government. The recurrence of such infamous depravities, the depravities of a licentious and ignorant despot, must only tend to facilitate the progress of European, civilization onwards and onwards from the southern most extremities of Ilindostan to the wilds of Tartars and the frontiers of China. Acting upon the fervid imaginations of the Oriental races, the benignity and suavity of the principles allied to the regenerating influences of Christendom must inevitably it, the end excite an admiration and an affec tion which will merge into a co-operative obedience. Nor can the interference of our emissaries with the bloody immolations of living men, by which the Khonds of Goomsoor attest the ardour of their idolatrous devotion, abate the love to us of their more gentle and more enlightened brethren. While it i s incumbent upon us, as the vindicators of moral and physical freedom, to respect the religious prejudices and superstitions of all tribes and people in discriminately, it is likewise a duty devolved upon us, by our professe d liberalit y , to prevent those accu rse d a bh o rrent acts of barbarity and which are too frequently the accompaniment s of Ori ental sacrifice. Wherever Budhaism is developed only in innocent eccentricities, or for the actual inculcation of something approximating to morality, Budhaism should be tolerated by the followers of the Nazarene. Such toleration would only be in accord ance with the holiest dogmas of his sublime faith. I t , the prevention, however, of the atrocities arisim: from the ignorance of a sanguinary creed, that tolerance would beconfirmed and enforced. Under the 2Egis of Christianity the victims of the inhu manity of the Khonds of Goomsoor should find the shelter most consonant with its character. It is is, incidental advantages of this description, as well as in the amelioration of their social condition by the diffu sion of the light of knowledge, that the primitive tribes of India receive ample compensation for what ever territorial or individual rights may have been abstracted or diminished. The sword of authority is thereby tempered with a salutary beneficence, and the harshness of our insular domination assuaged by the leniency of our religious disposition. There are few subjects to which the public attention has been more pointedly directed of late years than that of the education of the rising generation. The vast importance of training and cultivating the youthful mind, so as to prepare it to bring fortl, timely fruit, to qualify those destined to fill the Va rious situations in life duly to perform the duties incidental to their several stations, is now fully known and appreciated. Why, however, should the neces sary improvements be restricted to the seminaries for the middle: or lower classes ? Why should the Universities, where the future occupants of the senate, the bar, and the pulpit receive their first itn. pressions and have their intellects matured and fitted for the grave functions that will hereafter be i m p osed upon them, be exempted ? Many, and, we fe a r, too well-founded complaint s , have, from ti me t o ti m e, been preferred against th e system in force at our Universities. Few parents Ca n now commit th e ir children to the care of the on e . giate auth or i t i es w i t h ou t a f e eling of fear and dis trust; their faithfulness and power to preserve the youth placed u n d e r th e ir superintendence from error are alike doubt e d. This wide-spread appreh ens i on evidences that there is something wrong going on within those venera bl e walls, and urges the necessity of a rigid and searching investigation into the causes thereof, and of a great and comprehensive reform in the entire system of university education, The pub. r6 l lie demand such a reformation, and the times are favourable to its being undertaken. We have much pleasure in directing the public attention to an article, which appears elsewhere in our columns, taken from the forthcoming number of the Oxford Magazine, on this interesting subject. It will be found worth• of a careful perusal, and we trust that it may receive it front those who are in a position to carry out the views with which they may be impressed. We fully concede " that there is little to be hoped for in the way of improve- ment from within the walls of the Universities ;" but we should hope that those statesmen, formerly educated therein, and who must be fully alive to the many objectionable parts of the system, and there fore competent to legislate thereon in a judicious and comprehensive manner, will not be induced to hang back from any feeling of reverence or regard for even its defects. -A reasonable degree of veneration for ancient institutions, particularly- by those who have themselves tasted the fruits of know_ ledge and imbibed the lessons of wisdom within their precincts, is not only commendable in itself, but it is likewise useful in other respects. The hand of rash innovation is frequently stayed by the expanding in fluences of reverential feelings, which cause improve ments in the time-honoured establishments of the state to be entered upon in a spirit of benevolent caution. Again, the very apprehension which is entertained by many of the danger attendant upon any scheme of reform, affecting any given institution which they have been directly taught, or indirectly led, to re vere, serves to kindle their zeal in its defence, and to render them the instruments for making manifest certain positive advantages accruing to the public, which might otherwise be altogether overlooked in the eager desire for affecting extensive reformation. On the other hand, this feeling of reverence must be kept within rational limits; for when it is suffered to exceed them, its tendency is rather to injure than protect the object of its regard. History is pregnant with proofs of this nature. Where alterations are clearly desirable people should be careful to effect them in due season. The great question of Reform was fer ears impeded by the unjustifiable dread which thousands of well-disposed subjects harboured of its consequences becoming injurious to the constitution. The sentiment of veneration was carried to an excess; and the result was, that political reformation was at length wrought under circumstances of danger to the entire body politic, which need never have been engendered. We, therefore, recommend the Universities to be wise in their generation, and promptly and cheerfully to set about eradicating the palpable defects by which their present system of education is unfavourably characterised. We have already noticed, under another head, the acquittal of the National on the 20th in stant, accused of having published a libel upon the KING of the Fuzee's. The gist of the libel consisted in attributing personally to his MAJESTY the blame and the responsibility of the acts of his Government. The article in question was written in consequence of the recal of the French Consul from the Mauri tius. It contained, incidentury, some severe reflections upon the policy of the Montpen sier marriage, and argued indirectly, but in an unmistakeable manner, that Louts PHILIPPE had compromised the honour and dignity of France, Hence, the 'nature of the libel, and the peculiar con juncture of public affairs, imparted a lively interest to this trial. It was not only that the liberty of the press was seriously involved in the issue, but the pro secution afforded the first seasonable and solemn opportunity for ascertaining, to some extent, through the medium of a French jury, the feelings of the people with reference to the Spanish alliance. We have of late, more than once, alluded to the absurdity of regarding the proceedings of the French Legisla ture as approaching to anything like an index of the real sentiments of the nation. Their Chambers, con stituted as they are at present, are neither more nor less than pliable instruments in the hands of the SOVEREIGN. Of course, in this light, we merely treat of them in a collective sense, not doubting that, in either branch of the Legislature, there are to be found members of such honour, intelligence, and patriotism, as would reflect the greatest credit upon the councils of any state. But those form the excep tions, and not the rule. All that is worthy to con stitute an essential representative, is completely swamped by the influence of the system—to use the guarded language of the National—which affects the entire Government of France. This system is sum med up in a sentence—the power of Parliament is rendered subservient to the power of the Throne. Thus, upon every question where the interests of the nation come in contact with the personal wishes of Royalty, the people find that ;heir influence is reduced to a cypher, whilst that of the Sovereign obtains an uncontrollable ',way. It is the knowledge of these things that leads every reflective statesman, desirous of acquainting himself with the real state of public opinion in France upon any matter of material importance, to regard with indifference the acts of packed and hired ma jorities in the Chambers. But the statesman will view quite otherwise the solemn deliberations of a court of justice, where the people, impersonated by a jury, really have a voice. Therefore it is that every real lover of liberty will derive intense sa tisfaction from the finding of the jury, who, by their verdict, and the promptitude with which they returned it, administered a marked rebuke to Louis Pmetrem. The verdict is the more preciuus, en account not only of the ability, powerful reason ings, and moving eloquence of M. MARIE (himself a Deputy) but also of the bold and uncompromising nature of the defence which he set up. He adopted the article of the .Notional in its full length and breadth. He attempted neither to ex tenuate nor explain away any portion of it. He showed himself to be well versed in the philosophy of constitutional freedom, and evi dently felt that he was vindicating one of the most sacred principles of liberty. The opinions of eminent public men, dead and living, were felicitously quoted in support of his argument; and the counsel for the Crown were covered with confusion when M. MARIE proved that some of the present Ministers, especially M. GUIZOT, had at different times, in the Senate and elsewhere, used language of precisely the same import with that of the National; and yet these very men sanctioned a trial intended to bring down punishment upon the publisher of consti• tutional strictures, which they had repeatedly stamped with their own authority. Moreover, M. MARIE did riot hesitate, and apparently not without effect, to refer to the staunch resistance which, in different periods of English history, had been offered by some of our most distinguished political ancestors to every effort made by the Crown to crush the liberty and independent privileges of the subject. M. MARIE reminded M. GuzzoT,that the celebrated Earl of CHATHAM refused to continue Minister, because he would not submit to hold power without its responsibility, and because he telt that to permit the i rresponsible influence unduly to predominate would have been to submit to a system of personal government certain of de generating into baseness and corruption. Lord CHATHAM, like other great men, sided with the constitutional privileges of the people, and so held the authority of the Crown in wholesome check, whilst, at the same time, he best served the cause of monarchy itself. This was hard hitting for M. GUIZOT; it also served as an admonition to Lours PHILIPPE that M. MARIE knew far more profoundly than the Sovereign himself, what best conduces to the stability of the throne. If the Ministers of France would only promptly vacate their offices whenever the Sovereign seeks to violate the undoubted rights of the people, kings would soon be brought to a sense of their iniquities. This is the only efficacious mode to be pun• sued for thwarting inordinate ambition and selfish ends. Monarchs might find servants more obsequious to their will, but their possession of power would be very short-lived. One of two things would happen as the necessary result of good example—either that the people would insist upon having an improved Constitution, and infallibly obtain it, or else the So vereign w ould be obliged to abdicate in favour of a worthier successor. The Piedmontesc Gazette of the 15th contradicts in the most positive tering an article from Rome, published in the Herald() of Madrid, stating that the Government of Sardinia had openly authorised the embarkation from the porta of Genoa and Cagliari of arms and ammuni• tion for a Carlist expedition to the Balearic Islands , or coast of Spain• A grand banquet was 4011 on the 10th Februar to Mr. CoBDEN, by the Chamber of Cotnmerce of Rome The Marquis of PONTENSIANI officiated as chairman.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Epoque, which was par excellence, the organ of M.

The Presse, which has arranged to supply the subscribers of the Epcque, has one of its usual Billing - sate attacks on the Marquis of NORXANBY. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the authorising the Bank to issue 250 (race totes, a measur. from which it anticipates the best consequences, ale: against which the only complaint to be brought is thud it does not go far enough. The Debuts would wish to see an issue of not- s for 100 francs each. It says— " The persons who reject the idea of an issue of 100 f. notes, and who call their adversaries theorists, indulge in a theory themselves of the worst kind, as it is contrary to rea son and experience. The success of 51. notes in the Unites. Kingdom of Great Britain is notorious, and the success 01 those of 1/. in Scotland and Ireland, and of notes of five and ten florins (12f. 50c. and 25f.) in Austria, authorises an opi• nion that we might one day go farther than 100 f. notes. But we will restrict ourselves to them, and repeat that they are generally desired, and they would supply a public want and, theretore, that there is no ground for applying to Ur suggestion the only objection that could have any force, viz., that the country is not prepared for them. The gaurantee against the excessive emission of such notes is to be found in the nature of things, and in the prudence of the Bank." In the Climber of Peers on Monday the Bill autho rising foreign vessels freighted with corn to participate in the coasting trade of France, was passed without a division. In the Chamber of Deputies the Bill authorising an in crease of the army of tha inferior by 10,000 men, wtv passed by a considerable majority. There is some hitch in the appointment of M.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CIIIEF BARON and a Special Jury. CLARK V. CHAPLIN. This wa3 an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 1001. paid as a deposit for twenly &hares in the London and Westminster Water Company. Mr. Martin, Q-C., and Mr. Wills appeared for the and Mr. Gurney and kr. Ugly f.r the defendants. In 1840 a company was projected under this title, for the supply ot, the western portiens of the metropolis with water of a better quality and in greater quantity than that which is now received, of which, in the following year, Mr. Chaplin, the defendant, and late proprietor of the Swan-with-Two- Neck', in Lad lane, became a provisional committeeman. The capital to be raised was 600,000'., of which only be• tween 1,3001. and 1,4001. were paid in deposits, and the scheme was consequently abandoned. This action was brought by the plaintiff for the recovery of his deposits. Mr. G. Manch, a surgeon, residing in Fleet-street, who had acted as honorary secretary of the company, proved that Mr. Chaplin had been repeatedly present at the meetings of the provisional committee, none of whom, or the solicitors or himself, ever received anything out of the funds of the com pany, the whole of which had been spent in the incidental expenses of the office, chiefly is advertisements and ex periments. Clerks from Jones Loyd, and Co., the bankers of the com pany, and front the London Union Bunk, who kept cash for the plaintiff, proved the regular payment and transmission of the cheque for 1001.. given by the platmtiff. The jury, by direction of the judge, gave a verdict for the full amount. COMMON PLEA S.-( THIS DAY.) ( Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) NICKr LI, V. ROSS. The Court was again occupied the whole of the morning with this patent case. . BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Two boys, named Murphy and Perry, were charged with stealing, and a marine- store dealer, named Abraham Beau mont, was charged with reciving, 47 railing bars and one lamp-iron from the Adi Iphi-terrace. It appeared that for the last fortnight a quantity of railing bars, which were brought to the Terrace for the pur pose of being fixed there. were missed every morning. At length, on Friday niL;lit last, a mark was set on the bare, and they were counted. Eight were stolen that mght, and ten between Saturday evening and Monday morning List night the prisoners Murphy . and Perry were caught by policeman F 124 in the very act of carrying off a isinp iron. Murphy said it was "all right," his father was one of the workmen, but the policeman tsking him in to custody, he said he was going to take it to a rag shop in Earl street, Seven- ditals. and being furl her questioned, mentioned the shop of the prisoner Beaumont. The prisoner Perry said that h‘ was employed by Murphy to help him to carry the lamp iron, and had nothing more to do with it. The policeman took both the boys to the ,tali n, and went to Beautitont's shop. The latter admitted that he had bought a quantity of rails. which were lying in the shop, from the prisoners. He said (hat at Arst he suspected they were stolen, but on making inquiries he found that Murphy's fathe- was at work at the Adelphi-terrace, and he thought it was all right. There were 47 bars in the shop, which he said ne had paid d. per lb. for. The value is 1 1 / d. or 1:!4d. per lb. Mr. Ham, remanded the prisoners. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young female, of lady like manners and dept.rttneni, about 28 years of age, applied to Mr. Arnold, the sitting magistrate, for pecuniary aid from the funds of the poor box, under the following circturstances The applicant, whose name is Letitia Hannan presented lieraelf at this court a few days since, when she stated that she had been a teacher in some distinguished and highly influential families abroad, the last of which was that of the late Baron Lt. Pie, Commandant, de la Place de Strasburg. The Baron, however, t 4 ing, she was induced o ret urn to Eaglamt in August last,but tier expectations here were blighted, amt she was at kngth compelled to occupy a miserable dwelling in Long-alley, Worship-street, and her little stock of cash being altogether gone, she was reduced to the neces sity of parting with even her under garments during the recent vary inclement weather. She thought, however, not withstanding this, that she should with a little assistance be enabled to establish a small school, and thereafter to support herself creditably. Temporary aid was then afforded her, and Hayward, a warrant officer of the Court, was directed to make the necessary inquiries respecting her. The officer Hayward bad found , in a ddition to her state ment, which was perfectly correct, that she had b een k nown to be without food or firing during the space of twelve and even twenty hours. Some of her papers were produced, and several of them contained certiticates of her excellent ch aracter from persons of distinction, residing at Paris and other parts of the Con tinent. Her passport from Paris, dated the 29th of August produced d stated that she had remove d to No 17, i s e o a n p was whatwdaessiareedtutallyreitlierceeL.aatr)yil las i t : , he wa n s pp a l l o Union-street, B ishopsgtt inquirea,te, llayward was directed for her to commence opening a school on a small scale. The applicant, with tears of gratitude, then left the office CL ERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Joseph IVulford . a grazier and cattle dealer, residing near Bath, was brought before Mr. Greenwood, for having as saulted a female so violently as to render it necessary to re move her to the hospital, where she at present remains, and also with kicking police-constable 31 G in the groin, and biting off the top of his little finger. It appeared fromthe evidence of the constable, that about half-past ene o'clock this morning, hearing a noise in lid tannia-street, he repaired to the spot, when ho saw a female lying on the ground, and the prisoner standing over her, and beating and kicking her in the mast brutal manner. When the primer saw him he attempted to make his escape, and upon the constable seizing him, he got his linger in his mouth, and bit a piece of it completely off. Another policeman coming up lie again assaulted them both, and gate police constable 31 G a tremendous kick. . A eertificate from the houie-surgeon of the Free Hospital was put in, which stated that the woman was in such a dangerous state from the injuries she had received that it would be impossible for her to attend to give evidence for some time. Mr. GREENWOOD said, he should defer the consideration of the female's case for the - present. For the brutal and cowardly asszult on the policeman he should sentence him to a month's imprisonment, without the alternative of a fine. The prisoner wfos then removed in the van to the House of correction. ELECTION CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. (THIS DAY-BY EXPRESS•) (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER. CAMBRIDGE, TWELVE o'CUWW.
