PALL Seville Iron Works, Dublin, Dec. 7, 1857. [Piaci 4u. STAMPED' 55D.] and some wine. The defendant Cox was seen to mix spirits and water for customers behind the bar. Mr. i)eadon inflicted the full penalty of 501. on each defendant. The next care was against David Balasco, of the Carlton Supper-room v, 29, Haymarket. It was proved that on Sunday morning, the 29th Nov., a number of persons were in the room., and were supplied with beer and brandy-and-water. Mr. Sleigh, for the defendant, made a strong appeal to the beilcb, contending that the evidence was not suffi ciently conc!usiv'e to justify the infliction of a penalty on the defendant. _ _ Mr. Beadon thought the evidence brought the offsnce clearly home to the defendant, and therefore he must impose the full fine of 501. The next case was against Elizabeth Harvey, of 13, Pantos-street. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, pleaded guilty for the defen dant, and in mitigation urged that it was his client's first offence. . . Mr. Welaby did not wish to press with severity against any one who hail a reasonable defence to cfftr. Mr. Beadon had no desire to put the law in force to its full extent for a first offence, and would only impose the mitigated fine of 251. The next case was against Samuel Belasol, of No. G, Einton-street. _ _ _ The defendant pleaded guilty, and asserted that it was hit. first offence. Inspector Lester said this was not the fact. The defendant hoped for a reduced penalty on account of the badness of trade. Mr. Beadon—Why, your trade appears to be one of the best going. There were 25 persons drinking in your house on Sunday morning. Defendant—All my best customers have gone out to India, and I can't expect much trade till we have peace. Fined 504 . . - Mr. Beadon expressed his entire_ approbation of the course Adopted by the police to put an end to such an extensive system of illegal trading. He bad. very little doubt of the attention of the Legislature being attracted to these cases, and then the necessity fur strengthening the law would be recognised. THE CURRENCY. TO TUE EDITOR OF SAUNDERS'S NEWSLETTER. Sir,—lt may be in the recollection of some of your commercial readers that on the 10th of April last you did me the favour to insert a letter of mine in your paper, stating tho ineffectual attempt I made on the previous day, at the nomination at Kiimainbana, to put two questions to eack of the candidees for the repre sentation of this c unity in Parliament touching our money laws. These questions were :—" 1. Have you directed your attention to the Bank Charter Act of 1844, a❑d to the state of the currency generally, so as to have formed a definite opinion on the subjec%; and if so, will you state shortly what that opinion is ? 2. Are you prepared carefully ti watch the proceedings of the House of Commons Committee of Ir;qu'ry into the effects of the Bank Charter Act, and to use your be •.t ex.rtions to place our monetary system on a Just and permanent basis ? ' It was not lightly, or with the wish to advocate some mere theory, however true, kl at I then desired to bring this great question under the zr,tice of the c iustquents theinselve., who, it must be confessed, are at all times greatly indisposed to entertain it. The commercial hurricane then im- pepding, and through which wo are now pa.sing, may plead rby justification. Although this crisis will not affect all anse, no class will escape its baneful effects and the question now is--What is to be dune ? Or are thoss who should take a lead in so vital x matter —our mem• b‘ Ts of Parliament and Caambers of C rionterce—content that the storm shall pass away, crushing some and crippling others, without inquiring int) its Canstli and the means of preventing such rata trophes in future ? I hope betty thing , . But a pretty long experience in such matters teaches my that if this money qnestion he left simply to ministers and the currency doctors, with Lord Ov , rstone at their head, without local action in the great industrial centres of the kingdom, we shall be downed to run against the same vicious circle; and shall, by and by—to use the language of the nobleman I have just named—fled our;elves in " a state of quies cence; next. improvement, growing c nfidence, prospe rity, excitement, overtrading, c mvulsion, pressure, stagnation, distress, ending again in quiescence." It has come to be almost a settled conviction with some of our economists that this must be accepted as a normal date of things—a - soinething which cannot be escaped from, amid must, therefore, be endured. But however this doctrine may su't those whom the Times naively calls " hard calculators," it is by no means fitted for the in dustrious producers of the nation's wealth : and will, I trust, be not much longer endured by them. Ho never indisposed our commercial and productive classes may be to invettigate the theory and practice of our system of exchange generally—which I believe to be based on anything but equity—they will sow surely give some attention to the workings of the much-vaunted law of 1844, which was to land us in something like a co tamercial Elysium. And yet twice within the period of t. n years has it become necessary to eu peed the law to prevent a national convulsion ! The author of the measure, Mr. S. Jones Lloyd (now Lord Overstone), in a pamphlet published by him in July 1814 Alta(' that its object was to secure the conver tibility of the bank note into gold, and that this would be attained without subjecting the public to any increase of the inconveniences which they hail theretokre tripe rienced durirg a drain of bullion. Yet twice since the enactment of the law have we been confessedly brought to within a few hours of barter. The bank minimum charge for disc iunt has risen to the heretofore unpre cedented rates of 8 and 10 per cent. ; even with these rates advances could not be had upon Exchequer Bills, and securities of a like nature ; and since the meeting of Parliament it has been avowed by the executive government that but for its late interference in au thorising the suspension of the law, the Bank itself must have suspended. Again, Sir Robert Peel, in introducing the bill on the 20th of May, 1844, said the object of the measure was to prevent the recurrence of those evils from which we saffered in 1825, 1836 an I 1839, viz., the rapid fluctuations in the amount and value of the medium of exchange. And this statement was endorsed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir C. •Weed, who said that he anticipated from the law lees fluctuation in the amount of the circulation and in the range of prices. So much for the theory. What have bean the facts ? The notes of the Bank of England in actual circulation have fluctuated from 17,377,000 in June 1848 to 23,573,000 in Jan. 1853, or nearly 40 per cent, whilst the fluctuations in te price of this 1?gal tender have been most violent in their range.and num ber. Since the passing of the act (that is in less than 14 years) the rate of discount has been altered 52 times, varying from 2 per cent. in April 1852 to 10 per cent, in Nov. 1857—a difference of 400 per cent. I Contrast this with the state of things prior to the passing of the act, when, as stated by the Lords' Committee in their report of 1848, the practice of the Bank of England had been to disc runt at a rate nearly fixed and uniform, and that for 140 years, viz., from 1704 to Sept. 1844, this rate was never less than 4 per east.. and never ex seeded 5 per cant:, except for a few months in 1839, when it was six per cent. Yet in the face of these facts the Times, and a few other organs which f Mow in its wake, are for upholding the act of 1844, and are loud in their censures of the Government for its recent interference. They were prepared to sacrifice not only the prosperity, but the very peace of the country, t) the maintenance of a theory. It was nut enough that the reckless trader should be punished, but the careful and the thrifty must' be involved in one common ruin, and the honest and hapless labourer absolutely perish for want, in order to swell the gains of a few " hard calculators"—men who had been speculating on the fortunes they should make by a famine in !fetal tender. The cry of these writers is that the mischief has been precipit4ted by over-trading. Now, without stopping to show that there can be no such thing as a general over-trading—that it must ever be exceptional, and that that must be a most imperfect, clumsy, ani cruel system which punishes the guilty and innocent alike—what, let us ask, is the cause of this over-trading —these imprudent speculations and their disastrous consequences ! Need we seek further than the working of the act of 1844 itself, atone time tempting men with loans of money at two per cent., and then bounding to six, eight, and ten per cent.? With such unsteadiness, how is it possible to escape the speculation and consequent ruin we now see ? The blame is sought to be laid exclusively at the door of the joint stock and private banks, and bill-brokers in their system of re-discounting. But how the Bank of England is to escape the common blame—if blame there be in this—it is difficult to see, since but for its acquiescence and as sistance, this system could not obtain. I contend, sir, that the Act of 1844 has been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and that the productive and trading community should bestir themselves to get it repealed, and a sound system of currency substituted in its stead. But as many in these classes, either from want of time, opportunity, or inclination, or from a supposed want of power to grasp the subject, are mostly disposed to lean upon authority, I state for the benefit of all such, that the leading principles of the act have been condemned by some'of the ablest thinkers , and writers on the subject of monetary science—men whose interests are intimately bound np in the subject. Among those are to be found Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. Tooke, the Editor of the Economist, Mr, Edwin Hill (brother of the Post-office Reformer), Lord Ashburton, Mr. Glyn, Mr. Gurney, and numerous others equally important. And let it not be forgotten that the Select Committee of the House of Lords ap• pointed to inquire into the commercial distress of 1847 Waled in their report " that those restrictions (of the Act of 1814) material:y aggravated the pressure, and produced tee panic of Oct., 1847;" and that the Commit tee of the House of Commons, appointed for the same purpose, may be said to have virtually come to a similar conclusion, it having divided 11 for and 13 against the motion of Mr. Hume "That in the opinion of the com mittee the laws fur regulating the issue of bank notes payable on demand (Acts of 1811-45 aggravated the commercial distress iu England in 1 847"—the majority consisting of Sir R. Peel and his adherents, who cat ie judgment on their own measure. My belief is, however, that had Sir R. Peel lived until now, judging of his ac tion from leis conduct on the subject of Catholic eman cipation and the repeal of the Coru Laws, he would be LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 185'7.

[A portion of the following appeared in our impression of yesterday.] THE QUEEN V. BOBINB . ON-PERJURY. The further hearing of this extraordinary case was resurnei yesterday morning. The first witness cal'ed was Sarah Grocott—l am the wife of a butcher in St. John's Wood. I was engaged on 25th June, 1854, by Field to go to Mrs. King's. I was to be paid 2/. a week; I went there on Thursday the 29tb. know the defendant. I saw him on that day about luncheon time. He went to the Crystal Palace with Mrs. Evans and Mr. Mellins. They dined that day on their return between 7 and 8 o'clock. I remained in the house till the following Saturday week. I had been engaged specially to watoh Mrs. Evans. Mr. Robinson came again on the 30th about luncheon time. That was his usual time for calling. Mrs. Evans was in the house, and they were alone together for some time. He called again the following day (Saturday) ; they were alone on that day to g ether for some time. I had ob served nothing up to that time. Oe Sunday Field gave me a gimblet, and I made a hole in the foiling doer be tween the drawing-room and back drawing-room. I was unable to command a view of the sofa through the first hole I made. The second time I was more sue ceesful, and could command a view of the sofa in the drawing room. On the . 4th of July Mr. Robinson came as usual. Mr. Mellins was there ; they had luncheon about 1 o'clock, and Mr. Mellins went out. After he had gone out the defendant and Mrs. Evans were alone in the drawing-room. I went into the back drawing room, where I found Mrs. Price taking an inventory. I looked through the second hole I had made, and I raw the defendant and Mrs. Evans sitting on the sofa, side by side. Mrs. Price looked through. and in doing so made a slight noise. On that Mrs. Evans came into the room and asked what we were about. Mrs. Price said taking an inventory. I think we then both went down st ars. After that I heard the drawing-room door shut as 1 supposed by Mrs. Evans. I then went up stairs again with Mrs. Price. I again looked through the bole and I saw the defendant and Mrs. Evans on the sofa. Mrs. Evans was sitting astride the defend ant's lap. I fetched Mrs. King up, who looked through the hole also. The defendant came again the following day, July 5, and was alone with Mrs. Evans for some time. I again looked through the hole and saw them on the sofa. I witnessed a similar act to that on the previous day, only they were in a different posi tion. I left, and asked Mrs. King to came up, and she looked through the hole. I again looked through and saw that they had not changed their position on the sofa. That night, before going to Liver pool, in August, I saw the defendant in company with Mrs. King. She corroborated Mrs. King's evidence, relative to the defendant's meeting them in Bryanstone street, previous to the trial in Liverpool, in August, and the conversation that passed between them.. Defendant did not speek to me.; he did not know me. Cross-examined—When Field engaged me I was to have 2/. t week for a month. .1 knew I was to watch a lady. I remained 9cr 10 days, and had my money, 8/. I did my duty very carefully. I did not look through the keyhole, but I went once to the door and listened ; that was the only time I listened. I made the bole in the door in the middle of the day, when they were ali out. I found I could not see the sofa, and I had to make another. The familiarity was taking place when I saw them. I went to Mrs. King in the dining room, and fetched her up. She came up immediately and looked through the hole. I was not a minute fetching Mrs. King. I did not tell Field of it for some time afterwards. Mr. Mellins 1 aid me the 8/ , and I bad given my evidence to that gentle man before seeing Field. I saw Field yesterday, and spoke to him several times ; once I believe after Mrs. King had given her evidence. I have been examined twice at Liverpool and once in Doctors' Commons. I said nothing about the conversation with the defendant except on the second trial, because I was not asked about it. Re-examined—l was to have 8/. for the month whether I discovered anything wrong or not. Mrs. Price deposed: I keep a lodging-house in Ryder. street, St. James's. My husband is at present in Aus tralia. She combated the evidence of the last witness relative to what the saw on looking through the bole in the panel of the door. She added that the defendant's hand was partly up Mrs. Evans' clothes. Cross.exarnined—l did not know Mrs. King's real name, or her mode of life when I became acquainted with her. I once accompanied her to the Marble Arch to meet as she said Mr. Evans; she did not te!l me eke was going to meet Field. We met the latter there ; Mr. Evans was not with him. I did not bear her say, "Here's my friend, Mrs. Price, perhaps she will oblige me." I did not hear Field's answer. I always knew it was supposed an intrigue was going on at Mrs. King's lit was desirable to discover ; I had been separated from my husband, but I lived with him before he went to Australia. After the discovery I went to Margate with Mrs. King. Field spoke to me about it, but I can't say if it was there. It was before the first trial in Liverpool. Ite-examined- T I have had no conversation with Field nothing material at all—about the trial. My husband was a warehouseman. He left me before he went to Australia. Margaret Clarkson Saunders, 31, Saville-street—l was at Mrs. King's house on a Tuesday in July. I be lieve it was the 4tb. I was in the house-keeper's room on the basement cleaning paint. I know E len DAVi., Mrs. Evans's maid. I saw her that day in the house keeper's room between two and four o'clock. She was ironing, and did not go up stairs at all during that time . Cross-examined—l occasionally worked for Mrs. King in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. lam her cousin. It was after the first trial that I was asked about Elea Davis. John Clarke, fly-driver, at Cheltenham—l recollect a party being given at LanAowne-crescent in 1845, about ]5O yards from Mr. Carriugton's. It was a private ball. Miss Carrington and the' defendant got into my fly : it was between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. He directed me to drive to Berkeley-place, where the defendant resided : it is a mile and a quarter from Lansdowne-cres cent. I drove them towards the place, and when near Belle Vue, the defendant stopped the fly, got out and paid me, directing me to drive the lady home to 15, Llnsdo Tent-terrace. I did so, and the lady got ou►, have repeatedly seen them walking together in retired places in the suburbs of Cheltenham. Cross-examined—l spoke of it at the time in 1845, because it was something so unusual. At the request of a fly-man I went on 'Friday last for the first time and told Mr. Evans of it. I saw him at the Assembly- rooms. The lady and defendant 'were both in ball dresses. It was a very common thing to see the de fondant going to Mr. Carrington's house on a Sunday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock. This was the plaintiff's case. Sir F. Thesiger, in addressing the jury for the defend- ant, said he felt certain they were all deeply impressed with the impor!ance of this case, both as to its character and its consequences, for they could entertain no doubt at all that the charge of perjury was one of the most serious that could be brought against any individual. It was the greatest offence against society, pciaoning the very channels. through which justice must flaw, and he was quite sure that their feeling on this subject would induce them to regard with the most careful attention all the circumstances of this most extraordinary case, and to weigh them carefully and deliberately in their minds before they pronounced an opinion one way or the other on the important issue they were called upon to decide. To prove perjury the evidence should be clear and intelligible. Here all the circumstances were of a conflicting character, and he felt certain they would not convict if they had any doubts on the circumstances of the case brought forward by the prosecution s It would be his duty fairly to l a y before the m a ll the circumstances in this case of any importance, in order that they might fathom its intri cacies, and to protect the defendant, if they thought he ought to be, from the charge if without foundation. He then reviewed the origin of the proceedings up to the lady's marriage in 1850, and her separation six months after, on the ground that she refused to live with her husband if his mother resided in the same house. She, however, consented to do so, bat her husband reused to receive her, and she bad not seen him since. After referring to the evidence of the lady's alleged conduct before marriage, which, if true, must have been of common notoriety, and known to the husband, the learned gentleman made some re marks on the conduct of the husband, and the excuse. he had made of that to get rid of his wife. Referring to the conduct of Inspector Field, the learned gentleman said that within the last few years there had grown up a system, unusual in this country, of persons who had been employed in the police force setting upet private office, in which they held out that they were ready to detect matters interesting to others to know. He believed that that system •wraelikely to prove one of the most mischievous description. It these persons confined their operations to follow upend apprehend fugitive Worn., perhaps they would be the means of producinggood rather ban harm, but if they were to be spies on the conduct of individuals, and were to be empl iyed watching, month after month and year after year, houses of individuals for the purpose of discovering anything important for those who employed them to know, he confessed it appeared to him, it would lead to considerable danger throughout all the walks of life. In obtaining their in formation those persons must use for their instruments the basest and most worthless characters, because a spy was so odious to the national feeling of Englishmen, and so much odium was attached to the employment, that few persons o' respectability liked to be so engaged, and he trusted that would always be the feeling of the people of this country. The learned gentleman then proceeded to review at great length the proceedings that bad been taken in the case, and the evidence given thereon, observing that in the original libel in Doctors'. Commons, adultery was never alleged to have taken place in Etware-road or Bryanstone-street ; but in tl e additional libel put in reference was made to the occur rence at Cheltenham, spoken to by Mann to have taken place in August ; and on the defendant proving that he was not in Cheltenham at that time, the witness on the trial had shifted the time to July ; he also proved that no adultery took pace at the above places, and con sequently the Court of Arches refused to grant a divorce ; and now the prosecutor had insti• toted these proceedings with evidence that had come on the defendant with surprise. After some remarks criticising the evidence, the learned gentleman said that one of the many difficulties Mr. Robinson bad to contend with, was that Rnfortunately Mr. Carrington and his wife were dead and he could not call them, which was of importance to him, because that lamented gentleman would have proved the lodgings were taken for him and with his consent. It had pleased Providence to deprive the defendant of the evidence of Mr. Car rington. On the 10th inst. Mr. Carrington, a gentleman of great respectability and of an advanced age, dropped down suddenly and died, and in the course of the same day his wife followed him to the grave. The import ance or Mr. Carrington'e evidence could not be over estimated in a case of this description, because it was admitted the defendaut bad been on terms of the utmost familiarity with the family, and thought no more of going into Mrs. Carrington's house than his own,aed that he was in the habit of riding and walking out with her, and was such a refl_ction to be thrown on this respectable man that he would have tolerated any such intimacy as existed between the defendant and his daughter, whicn, if they believed the witnesses for the prosecution, almost proved to demonstration that criminal intercourse bad taken place between them. The cld gentleman's evidence would have b .en of im portance to show that the lodgings in Edgware-road and Bryanstone—treet were taken with his concur rence. He coul I not, however, call that gentleman; but there was a witness he should bring forward, because it was impassible to come to a conclusion that the defendant was guilty of perjury without her, and without casting an indelible stain on Mrs. Evans character. Painful as was her position ' anticipated perhaps by the prosecution to place the defendant in a vs:tion almost compulsory to determine whether to expose her to an inquiry for which the prosecutor was prepared, or whether he would abandon the chance be bad of being protected by her evidence. The lady herself however under the painful and distressing circutristanc,s under which she was placed with her father and mother, scarcely cold in their grave, with another member of the family within three days having been numbered with the dead—felt that she must protect her character by ap pearing in the witness-box to disprove the odium and calumny it had been endearoueed to be established against her ; she would appear behre the jury and sub mit to the most rigid and searching examination. The learned gentleman said the whole was a fabrication, a pl it and a contrivance, and he called upon the jury to vindicate the character of the defendant and Mrs. Evans. (The conclusion of the learned gentleman's speech was received with applause.) The final witness called was Mrs. Evans, a lady-like person. She was dressed in blink, and appeared at first very nervous. She deposed —I was married to Mr. Evans in 1850. The defendant hasanown the family since 1842, and was a most inti mate friend of the family. lam turned 32 years of age. Mr. Robinson's mother resides in Cumberland street, where he lives part of the year, and the other at Chel tenham. The defendant called at my father's whenever he liked. He was accustomed to ride with me and the family. Lon' Cain?bell —What is the age of the defendant ? Mr. James--About 49. Witness continued —My father did not keep a riding horse for use, and I always rode the defendant's Hack mare. I wa4 about 17 when I first knew him. I was Mauled Nov. 14, 1850. I became engaged to him in Sept. of the same year. Mr. Robinson had no hand whatever in that engagement. He ,resided at the time at Cheltenham with his wife. After the marriage I re• sided with my husband in Leicester, who is fond of hunting and kept hunters. He deserted me in March, 1851, and the deed of separation was made in May. We disagreed about living with his mother, and when I found he would not give in I I w ro t e t o s ay I would give way, but he declined to li ve with ' me. I wrote h i m a letter which has never b een produced. He never assigned any other cause for leaving rim My father died on the 10th of this month, and my mother on the same day. My father gave his evidence in the Arches Court, and if he had lived he would have given evidence here. We were in the habit of coming to London, and Mr. Robertson was in the habit of taking,lodginge for us—he did it on several occasions. I was never in a fly with Mr. Robin son at Cheltenham in July, 1849. Was in Norfolk at the time staying atlieletead Rectory. I was never at any time in a fly alone with Mr. Robinson at Cheltenham, or any other place. I never left a party at Lansdowne crescent or any other place with Mr. Robinson. I was always on such occasions seen home by my parents. In 1853 I cams to London and lodged in the Edgware road with my servant. My parents knew of it and all my movements. I asked the defendant to take lodgings for me, because my usual lodgings were occupied. I arrived at E lgware-road on the 23:1 June, and removed there for a fortnight and a day, The defendant used to call there, and I used someti mes to go out w i t h hi m. I never saw the defendant in po ssession of a latch- k ey whilst I was there. I never heard o f i t t i ll my ma id h a d her deposition taken. I never knew of his coming into the house without knocking or being announced by my maid or Mrs. Phillips' servant. When I h ave gone out w i t h h er we have walked to the - parks and the Royal A ca d emy Exhibition. He never on such oc cas i ons let hi mse lf i n with a latch-key—he always knocked. I have read the proceeding in this case. • By Mr. James—Were you ever guilty of any act of adultery with Mr. Robinson ! Witness—Never. Mr. James—At any time in the evening of August f, 1853? Witness—Never. Mr. James—Were you ever guilty of any indecency las deposed to by utterly Mann? Wit n ess—lt is utterly false. Toe story is or adultery with Mr. Robinson fslie from beginning to end. m —Y sister Fanny was with me in Dublin in August, 1853. Do. —y father kept a memorandum-book, which I was in the habit of teeing. Mr. James proposed to put in the book. Mr. Sergeant Byles objected. Lord Campbell refused to admit it. Witness—l can do very well without it. My fath er took my sister to Dublin on the 2d of Aug. There was no other Rioter at home then. She remained lilt the end of Oct., but my lather left about the 15th of A ugust, and my sister wont en a visit to my brother-in-law, Dr. Wood, 16thLancerP, then quartered at Dublin, in 1854. I went to Bryanstone-street. My father and mother came up after me. I arrived en t h e 19th of June accompanied by my cousin, Mr. Moli ne , a gentleman reading for the church who had b een i n t h e ar my. I think I wrote to the defendant to take apartments for Mr. Mellins and myself. My father and mother arrived on the sth of July, about 5 o'clock in the after- noon. Mr. James—l will ask you this question, during the time you were in Brynnstone-street, did Mr. Robinson take any improper familiarities with you, or to put the question plainly did Sou commit adultery with him there ? Witness—l nover did. Lord Campbell—Or take improper familiarities ? Witness—Never. Mr. James—la it true that, oa the 4th July, you were in an indecent position with him on the sofa ? Witness—That story is a perfect fabrication. Mr. James—Or on the sth? Were you in an indecen posture on the sofa! Witness—l say I swear to that day. I went to the' theatre twice with the defendant, who left me at the I door. I went once to the opera with him and his sister, Mrs. Thackeray. They both saw me home and lett. Oe e the 4th, Mrs. Thackeray called with her little boy, about three years old. They came with Mr. Robinson about 11 o'clock. Mr. Mellins came out of his room and joined them. I went out with Mrs. Tnackeray and the chill for a walk. The defendant left the house with us, and after accompanying us a short distance we separated. I went with Mr. Thackeray and his little boy into the park, returning Bryanstone-street about one o'clock. I there found my cousin waiting for me. I generally took lunch about 1 o'clock. My °mein only took lunch with me that day. After the defendant left the house in the morning I saw nothing more of him that day. On that day Mrs. M'Donald and her daughter called on me about 3 o'clock. She is the wife of General M'Donald, and my mother's sister. They remained about hal:-an-hour or three-quarters of an hour. When my father and mother came I took the whole of the house. My cousin went out about 3 o'clock, and' my aunt came in his absence. They just missed them. They 1-ft before his return. I generally dined about 7 o'clock. My cousin, after Mrs. M'Donald left, went out wi.h me before din- ner 'fora walk in the Park. We returned but a short tine before dinner. lam quite positive the defendant did not call after that morning. The defendant called in the following morning, the sth, about 11 or half-past 11 o'clock. My cousin was then at home, and reading in the room adjoining. Mr. Thackeray and his son called again that day with Mi. Robinson. They re mained about half-an-hoar, and we all went out together. We wafted in the park, the dafeitedaateleaving us-at-the Marble-arch, A shower of rain came on, and we ' got wet. I returned home by myself. Mr. Tbackeray and his son were staying at Mrs. Itlbinson's, in Cum berland-street, and they left me in Little Quebec-street. I got home to lunch a little after one : I found my cousin there. The defendant did not lunch with me that day. My father and mother arrived about 5 o'clock. I have no rec llection of the defendant's calling afterwards, or of seeing him after the morning visit. lam positive he did not. The defendant has a eon in the Treasury. He called with his father two or three times in Bryanstone street. I was in the habit of going with my father and mother to church. He never on any occasion called and saw me on a Sunday after my parents had gone ,to church. By Mr. James —Either before or after your marriage is it true that the defendant ever took any improper familiarities or indecent liberties with you ? Witness—Never. Cress-examined by Mr. Sergeant Byles—T'Ao defen dant's mother resides in town. He has two si ter.. No lady called upon me in the Etware-road. The defen dant did not call upon them every day. One day he did not call, but I can't account for it, perhaps he can. I never remember his calling on me three times a day. I kept no notes of it. I have read the defendant's evi dente in the Arches Court. I don't recollect his calling three times a day. I won't swear one way or the other. We might have stayed some times for an hour and a half alone. Mr. Sergeant Bylcs—What did you do during that length of time ? Witness—l suppo e I talked to him as I worke3, and he to rne, the same as other visitors. Have you ever been with him when the blinds have been down I Witness—l never noticed them. I never made a note of it. If the sun was shining, no doubt the blinds were down. Will you undertake to say when ho has come in, you or he have never pulled down the blinds ? Witness— I don't rec elect. I will net undertake to speak for any one but myself. If I found the sun dis agreeable, I might have pulled them down. Can you undertake to say that you have not pulled the blinds down when he came in ? Witness—No; I cannot say one way or the other If the sun was dieagrerrable no doubt I did it. I recollect visiting at Miss Max vell'e once. Ido not remember going into the garden. I bad a sprained ankle at the time, and could hardly go from the car riage to the drawing-room. I know nothing about the locality. My sister walked in the garden so far as I can remember. Sho was between 11 and 12 years of age at that time. I have three sisters, Fanny, Emma, and Clara. Emma is married. Fanny died in 1846. Clara is unmarried. In August when my sister was in Dublin, I and Mr. Robinson were in Cheltenham. When at Edgware-road I did not ge with the de fendant to Hampton Court. I did in 1852. Re-examined—The defendant was one of my father's oldest friends. Since my husband has deserted rue ho has never called upon me in London. In my rides with the defendant I invariably started from my father's house. I never pulled down the blinds for an improper purpose, neither has the defendant. Lordßy Campbell—Do you recollect your father having a servant named Cratt ? Witness—Yes. Lord Ca%npbell—Do you remember at any time when he was in your father's service your leaving the room with your little brother ? Witness—l dont remember. I had a little brother, and no doubt I have left the room with him. Lord Cempbell—Do. you recollect on any occasion the defendant's following you I Witness—lndeed I do not. Lord Campbell—Now, I must ado you, Did the de fendant at any time upon the stairs kiss you ? Witness—lndeed, not. Lord Campbell—He never did ? Witness —No. Mr. Mellins was next examined, and corroborated Mrs. Evans' evidence relative to the lodging and her movements in London. He came with her as her corn pinion, and was constantly with her. lam in deacon's orders. He was a proctor. The defendant did not take luncheon with them on either the 4th or sth. In his cross-examination lee said he had celled to read a number of facts after the first trial, and made a memo• randem of them, which he had since destroyed. He had gone out, and on hie return found Mrs. Evans and the defendant together alone. Mrs. M'Donald was called to corroborate Mrs E vans. In her crops-examination she said that she had seen the parties together several times at Cheltenham, at her father's house, and bad remarked that the defendant paid 'marked attention to her, which she thought par ticular to a young married woman. After some further evidence had been given, the Court adjourned till to-morrow morning. EXCISE INFORMATIONS AGAINST WEST END SOPPER-ROOMS. A batch of informations, laid at the instance of the Excise authorities, against the owners of supper-rooms within the jurisdiction of the court, for selling beer, spirits, and wines without a liceace, was yesterday heard at Marlborough-street police-court by Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate. The court was very much crowded by parties inte rested in the proceedings. Mr. Weleby, instructed by the Excise commissioners, appeared to support the informations ; Mr. Buzzard, vestry clerk of St. James's, and Mr. Superintendant Hannant were present to watch the different cases. It appeared that the proceedings originated from Com plaints made to the police by inhabitants and licensed victuallers of the district—the first asserting• that these supper-rooms rendered inoperative the act which required public-houses to be closed after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, and the last that their business was seriously injured by unlicensed parties keeping open at all hours, and supplying exciseable articles to their customers. In consequence of these complaints the Excise authorities communicated with the police, and the result was six ioforrnations against eight individuals occupying and owning six houses called supper-houses. The first information was against Matilda Wood and Henry Cox, the keepers of the Argyll Lerder, 2, Penton street, better known as " Matty Wood's," for selling spirits, &c., %about a license, on Sunday morning, 22d November. Police-sergeants Draper, Roberts, and Silvester, proved that the house was watched for some time, and that they gained admission in plain clothes on the morning in question ; that great caution was used in admitting them, the door being carefully guarded, and a signal given on the admission of a customer ; and that they found the supper-rooms filled with persons of both sexes, who were being served with beer and spirits and water. Inspector Lester proved the ownership of the house, and that the business had been for a length of time con ducted in the same way. The evidence of the sale of spirits was defective in one of the links, and the defendants were allowed the benefit of the doubt by Mr. Beadon, and no penalty was inflicted. A second information against the same parties, for a similar infraction of the law on the 29th Nov., was next heard. The evidence was similar in character and supported by similar evidence, with this addition, that the proof of the sale of exciseable liquors was male clear, and that the def..ndante after the 22d Nov. ex rcised greater caution in admitting guests, the outer dour being kept on the lock, and no one admitted without a preconcerted signal. Mr. Beadon imposed the highest penalty, 501., on each defendant. An application for a mitigated fine was made. Mr. Beadon could see no grounds whatever f miti gation. The next case was against John Hoare, Henry C( x, and Joseph Gray, the keepers of the Waterford Arms, 15, Haymarket. The police proved that they visited the house on the morning of the 28th Nov., and found about a dozen persons there. Some were drinking spirits and water, INDIAN RAILROADS, CANALS, cf,c. _ • (From the Morning Herald.) It was stated in 1848 by Mr. Mangles, n ow chairman of the East India Company, that of 3 00,000,0001. of money received from the natives of India only 1,400,0001. had been expended in roads and public works. Agreeing as we do with Mr. Disraeli that the blue books which constitute our Parlia men t ary li terature are an i nva l ua bl e re pository of fa c t s an d op i n i ons, we propose from that source of information, which few have time to consult, to-describe what the Company have really done for Hindostan in the department of civil en gineering. Their principal labours have been di- rected to canals and roads. The fornier receive water from -the rivers, which are either fed by the melted snows of the Himalayas or supplied by the rains of the south-western monsoons. The chief rivers which derive their s'reams from the Himalayas are the Ganges, t he Jumna, and thelndu e ; those which depend on the replenishment of their channels from the south-western monsoon are th e Nerbuddah, Taptee, Cauvery, Kistna, and Goda very. The Jumna was made available for canal purposes about the middle of the 14th century, two canals having been then formed • but both were suffered to fall into decay about the middle of the last century. They were res'ored by the Mar quis of Hastings between 1823 and 1830. " The whole of the visible streamof the Jumna," accord ing to Mr. Thornton, " has been diverted from the original channel at Badshahmahal, 155 miles above Delhi, into two canals, called the Eastern and Western Jumna Canals; and those run parallel with the parent river, and join it again at . Delhi On the opposite sides of the river." The Nerbuddah and the Taptee flow into the gulf of Cambay, and as the whole of the coast is under the influence of the south-western monsoons, there is ho occasion to make canals in that district for the purposes of ag ricul.ural irrigation. The whole deltas of the Cau very, the Kistna, and the Godavery are supplied with water from those rivers, and on the latter Colon( .1 Cotton has constructed some excellent hydraulic works, to which we shall particularly allude on another occasion. These three deltas are estimated to c ,, ntlin 5,000 square miles; and the waters of the three rivers, though not' use' for canal purposes, are intercepted in their passage to the sea by a dam, and are thus 'made subs rvient to navigation on the right and left. The Gano ' q s Canal, with its branches, measure from 700 to 800 miles, and will be available both for irrigation and navigation. In the Punjauh, the Ravee Canal will flow through a channel of 400 miles, and Umritsir and Lahore will be supplied from its branches, by which means a large tract of country will be brought under cultiva tion. The disAarge of the Ravee at the source of the canai is 3,000 cubic feet per second ; and engineers have ascertained that one cubic foot per second is sufficient for the annual irrigati , n of 218 acres, r shout one-third of a square On this subject Mr. Thornton comes to this general conclusion. Taking the a hole of these rivers - -the Ganges, the Junin?, the Raves, the Su tlej, and Jhelum—you get a discharge of 24,000 cubic feet per second ; but it appears that the people of the village do not irrigates the whole of the surface, but only about one-third; a cubic foot per second will, thcref‘ re, irrigate about a square mile ; consequently, 24,00 U cubic feet per second are sufficient for the annual irrigation of 24,000 square miles, actually irrigating one-third of it, the other two-thirds not being required to be irrigated. • The principal trunk roads run from Calcutta to De'hi, and onward to Peshawur, from 13Jrnb ty to Agra, and from Bombay to Ca,lcutt t via Nagpo ß . Toe road from Calcutta to Peshawur m,asurea ready 1,500 miles. Up 'o 132,111 i it is macadamised, with the exception of the,Rtv, rs Soane and Jumna, it is bridged. This grand trunk road from Calcutta to a lhi cost in construction 1,0001. per mile, and ti keep the whole distance in repair absorbs an anneal expenditure of 50,0001. Stations aro erected alon g the whole li ne o f th e t run k roa d s , called travellers' bungalows. The cost of road-making in different districts varies con siderably ; while, as stated, the Calcutta to Delhi, cost 1,0001. per mile, that of Bombay only cost • 3301. per mile, but it is not macadamised. There was no law euipowering the levy of tills up to 1852, and they are only raised in three or four of the mountain passes, calle l gltauts, on which the Company have to excavate large tanks, or the cattle would perish from want of water. The distance from Calcutta to L chore has been per ' formed by c4rrilge d ink,—that is, post-office mail --A1 the sixth day from starti , g, which gives a speed of 81 miles per hour. During the Affghau campaign it was not performed under ten days, so that the improvement has .been very considerable of late years. Mr. Thornton, who is at the heal of the Statistical Department of the India House computes the annual expenditure- on the icrids, canals, embankments, and bridges, taking -the last tiifreen years preceding the year 1853, at 240,000/. for the first ten years, and at 400,0001. for the last five years. An outlay of 1,500,0001. was authorised on the Ganges Canal, and 500,0001. for that of the Punjaub. After long resistance from the Company railways have been introduced into India, but the lines, or portions of lines, yet completed, are very trifling compared to the extent of the territory. Lord Dalhousie recommended the immediate establish ment of a line from Calcutta to Peshawur, and proposed to connect that with a line either from Bombay to Agra or from Bombay through the valley of Berar to Allahabad; another line travers ing the country from Madras to Poonany, and one from Madras to Bellary and Bombay. A system of electric telegraphs, connecting the three presidencies of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay with each other, and with Agra, Lahore, aud. Shull+, has been completed at a cost of 351. per mile, or a total of 110,2501. for a distance of 3,150 miles. The Company are also entitled to-credit for deepening, within the last ten years, the ." Paum hum Passage," between the island of Ceylon and the continent of India. Large ships, which formerly were obliged to sail round the island, now safely pass tiroug,ll this improved channel. The Indian Government is also entitled to praise for the trigo nometrical survey of the country, an arc of the meridian having.been measured from Caps Comorin to the base of the Himalayas—about 1,100 miles; that forms a starting point for triangulating the whole country, and delineating its topography and geography. The great atlas of India is upon a scale of four miles to an inch. The survey of the north west provinces was completed in 1842 • and, with the settlement, cost 337,0J0/. Every field has been measured, and there are thirty-one provinces iu the north-west. Such is a substantial account of what the Com• pany have done to promote the material interests of India during the last few years of their dominion ; but we fear it is true that even this small activity was involuntary, and forced upon them by the remon strances of public opinion. They have long known that India never could become an exporting country without a complete network of railways, as the cost of transporting commodities over earth roads, on the backs of bullocks for long distances, de stroyed all profit, and thus indirectly arrested pro duction. The stagnation of business has of course tied down the labourer to the lowest level of sub sistence while surrounded by all the raw materials of wealth, he has lived and died a pauper because these have never been developed. We have suf fered the cultivator to pine in indigence, while we have pampered the Bengal sepoy taken from the class of cultivators. While the Indian Government has been pressed down, by growing indebtedness, • and an annually deficient revenue, it has wilfully neglected the most obvious means of extricating itself from difficulties by discouraging an industry which alone could recruit their exhausted treasury. We willingly give them credit for all that they hiftve recently attempted or achieved ' • but there i s no excuse for a century of inertness. When the mutiny is quelled, other men and other measures must be introduced, for the old routine is pregnant with disaster. Let us at least be wise enough to profit by the lessons of experience. The President of the India Board (the Right Hon. R. Vernon Smith) has conferred a cadetship in the East India Company's service on the Fon of Sir li. -Wheeler, K.C.8., who was murdered at Cawnpre ; and on the son of Major Burton, who was murdered at Sotah.
