(From the London New Price Current of April 6.) SUGAR.-A further decline has taken place in the value of both free and slave labour, the home demand being on the decrease, and the shipping orders in the market at present being unimportant. The deliveries for all purposes, however, continue to be upon a large scale, and greater than last year. Prices are 2s to 3s per cwt lower than they were at that time, but the stock is nearly as large, and the qu ility is fine. The public sales announced to take place are important. There is yet a large quantity to arrive from all quarters. West India Muscovado met with little attention from grocers or refiners on Wednesday and Thursday, although mer chants were free sellers, ana submitted to a ryduction on previous rates of Is. REFINED.—The home trade have operated in Refined goods with caution since this day week. The supply is on the increase, and prices declining. The consumption is, however, going on, largely exceeding that of last season, and likely so to continue. The refiners are de sirous to realise, as they are obtaining satisfactory rates. MAURITICS.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in refining or in grocery description, although there are sellers rather under former rates. None has been offered at public sale since our last report, but the large quantity of 10,000 bags is announced. There are further arrivals, and the stock is much greater than it was at this time in 1846; the deliveries, however, con- tinue upon a large scale, and far exceed those of an) other sort of sugar, and it is yet the cheapest. EAST INDlA.—Bengal has been operated in with caution, and the rates taken have been rather under those that existed previously, there being a fair quantity on offer. For Penang the inquiries have been limited, and late rates cannot even be obtained. COCHINEAL.—The deliveries are far exceeding those of the previous season, whilst the stock is less, but prices are above those of that time, especially for the better qualities. By private contract only a small amount of business has been transacted since this day week, and rather lower rates have been accepted. For public sale 100 serons are declared. FORElGN.—Privately there has been little passing in any kind of Foreign Sugar for home consumption, and prices are on the decline. At public sale 762 baskets 948 mats and 4 bags Java, duty paid, were all disposed of, but at a reduction on former prices of 2s for white and the superior kinds of yellow ; the decline on brown and inferior yellow amounted, however, to only is per cwt. MOLASSES.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in any sort of West India, and prices are on the decline. For fine Antigua 24s 6:i have been accepted. The value of low Molasses is 20s to 21s. At public sale 60 puns new middling Antigua Molasses were sold at the reduced rates of 21s 6d to 22s per cwt. COFFEE.—Although the inferior descriptions of West India can be obtained rather under previous rates, still few purchases have been male by private contract. Middling and superior sorts are held for the former cur rency; but the contracts concluded have been of little consequence. None at present has been submitted to public competition; and the stock is much less than it was last year; but arrivals of the new crops are near at hand. The deliveries are falling off; and other sorts of Coffee are lower in price than West India. There is every probability of the importation ex ceeding that of 1846, and of the rfuality being finer. East India, suitable for home consumption, fur ther declined in value, although the quantity brought to market has not been large ; but the trade have been cautious in their operations. Shipping sorts are not to be obtained upon lower terms ; but the orders are fall ing off. No increase, however, has taken place in the supply. The importati on a all sorts, it is expected, will exceed that of the previous season. The atneunt of business transactedby private contract in Plantation Cey lon has been to a small extent only, upon rather lower terms. Mocha has been operated in with caution by pri vate treaty, although there are sellers upon rather lower terms, the stock being considerably less than last season, I and the consumption greater. None has been submitted to public competition. Java is not much wanted; but holders are not inclined to reduce their prices. Foreign Coffee has been purchased with caution by the home trade, and there are few export orders. Prices are on the decline, there being a large stock, especially of the better descriptions. None has been offered at auction since our last report. COCOA —The market having been better supplied with Trinidad, a fall in the value to the extent of 2s to 4s per cat has taken place ; the demand, however, has been good, and the parcels offered at auction were all sold, and amounted to 1,203 bags of the new crop. TEA.—The arrivals have been upon a large scale since this day week, amounting to 27,000 packages ; w hereas, during that period, duty was paid on 446,4961b5. The deliveries at all the ports this year are exceeding those of the previous one. The stock of black is not quite so heavy as it was at this time in 1846 ; but of green it is greater. All sorts are lower in price than they were at that period; none has been offered at auction since thisday week. Ile purchases made in black have been to a small ex tent only by the town and country trade, notwithstand ing the moderate rate that exists. Of low and mid qualities, the home trade have been induced to take many parcels, owing to the late rates, at which there are sellers. SAGO.—Prices continue to give way, the demand being limited, and the supply good; we quote small Pearl at 30s to 32s for ordinary to good, and tine at 32s to 34s per cwt. That a further fall in the value will ensue, ap pears to be the general impression. Sago Flour is little wanted, and can be obtained at 22s to 23s per cwt. The arrivals of Sago and Sago Flour are likely to exceed those of the former season. SPlcEs.—ln all descriptions of Black Pepper there have been little desire manifested to operate privately, but former rates are, however, asked for all sorts. At public sale 4,140 bags of Malabar were only in part sold. For white previous rates are insisted upon, hut privately only a moderate business has been done. Mace is fully a: 'Aril as i n this day week ; the demand being active, and supply moderate. Cutsis. Lignealetehes full rates, the supply being small, and the demand good. For Pimento prices continue high, but exporters and the home trade buy with caution. Of Jamaica Ginger several parcels have been sold pri , wately at full rates. East India met with attention. For Nutmegs previous rates are asked, but the demand has been less active for home consumption and exporta tion. For Cloves the market is looking quiet, and prices rend downwards. RICE.—To day East India Rice met with more atten tion by private treav, and large parcels were disposed of at full rates. Hops.-- . -The business doing in our market is on a retail scale, and prices have undergone no variation since last week's report. SPIRITS.—The market has presented a dull appear ance for Leeward Island Rum, and 3s 4d to 3s 6d is the nearest value of proof strength ; whilst the supply is on the increase, and likely so to continue. East India is little wanted and proot with certificate can be obtained at 3s 2d to 3s 3d, and there is a fair quantity on offer. Fur arrival there are even selkra under these rates. Demeriga met with little attention, and prices are .on the deeline. •Of West. India several ?excels .have been received since Tuesday last, and heavy arrivals ire near at hand from all quarters. The stock of West India is teal than it was last season, but of East India is greater. The home demand has been limited for all sorts of Brandy, and exporters have operated with caution, prices are on the decline, and merchants appear to be desirous to sell, as there are large arriv als near at hand, and the stock here being heavy. The consumption, is however, going on satisfactorily, and exceeds that of former season. Geneva has been in good demand for export, and 2s 7,1 to 2.-i 8d are the rates paid for ordinary export sort, but the home demand has been limited at 2a lfkl to 3s 3d for fine. The price of Corn Spirits has fallen 9,1, and it is now 1 Is per gallon for English. SALTPETRE.—The home and export demand was limited for Rough by private contract and the rates paid have been rather above those that existed previously. /I.,lders evince much firmness, and supply the market sparingly. OlLS.—There has been little desire manifested by the home trade to overate in Linseed Oil since this day week, few export orders have been ex , cuted; the crushers are desirous to resli,-e, and submitted tolurtht-r redvced rates. For turther delivery the operations are upon a small scale. The consumption is, however,) et on the increase, and lea, exeetds that of the previous season.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages for a libel upon Mr. Chadwick, the chairman of the North Wales Railway, and who also filled the same office in the Richmond Railway, which libel wasublish9,l in Herapath the I's Railway Journal of 3th of J une, 18-16. Tlie defendant pleaded that he had not been actuated by any malice in publishing the libel, and that he had apologised for it, in conformity with the statute, and paid 51. into court 'as compensation. The Court upon demurrer held the plea to be insufficient, and the present writ of inquiry was therefore issued to at the amount of damages to which the plaintiff was entitled. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Peacock were for the plain tiff; Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bovill for the defendant. From the statement of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff it appeared, that while he filled the office of deputy-chairman to the North Wales Railway, and chairman of the London and Richmond, a negotiation was entered into for the loan of 20,0001 to the South- Western Railway Company by the North Wales Com pany, the latter not being able at the time to use their capital or their works owing to some Parliamentary difficulties, and the South-Western were to pay 4 per cent. for the use of the money, the shareholders in the North Wales scheme receiving the same amount of inte rest upon their deposits. The South- Western Com pany refused the money, and the amount, with an addi tional sum of 5,0001., was then advanced by the North Wales to the Richmond Company, at an interest of 4i per cent. This transaction formed the subji ct of the present inquiry, for it seemed that soon afterwards a letter appeared in Herapath's Journal, professiug to be signed by ono Evan Griffiths, a shareholder in the North Wales scheme, and in which, in very offensive terms, the present plaintiff was charged with misappro priating the money of the the shareholders, and, instead of employing their funds in furthering the works of the railway, that he had lent it to a failing scheme, where it would probably all be lost, and at the same time sug gested that the plaintiff had an interest in the contracts upon the Richmond Railway, and that the transaction was for his own personal benefit. Immediately upon the publication of this letter application was made to the de fendant for the address of the writer, and it then appeared that there was no such person as Evan Griffiths, a shareholder in the scheme, in existence, and in the next number of' the defendant's journal he expresssed his re gret that the letter had been inserted in the hurry of business, and also at the offensive observations made use of. Some further communications took place between the plaintiff's solicitors and the defendant, and the latter repeatedly offered to insert any statement of the real circumstances of the transaction in contradiction of the libellous letter ; but this, it appeared, did not satisfy the plaintiff, who required that the defendant should state from his own knowledge that there was was no foundation for the charges that he had male, but this, it appeared, he declined to do, and hence the present proceeding. On the part of' the plaintiff the libel was put in, and evidence also given to show that, so far from there being anything injurious to the interests of the shareholders of the North Wales Railway in the transactions with the Richmond Company, they were highly advantageous to them, and that they were enabled to receive a divi dend of 4 per cent. for their money, which would other wise have been locked up at their banker's, and not have yielded any profit. It was also shown that, instead of the Richmond Railway being at that time a failing scheme, the shares were at a premium of 61. upon 10/. paid, and by the subsequent arrangement and amalgama tion with the South-Western Railway Company each shareholder received 201. for each share upon which only 10/. had been paid originally. Mr. Sergeant SuEE, for the defendant, said he wished the jury to understand that his client admitted that he had incautiously inserted in his journal a charge against the plaintiff for which there was no foundation what ever, and, whatever might be the result of the action, the plaintiff would leave the court without the slightest imputation upon his honour. Mr. Herapath had all along admitted his error, and had endeavoured to make all the atonement in his power. Immediately after the publication of the libel, he inserted a notice expressing his regret at the offensive expressions that had been made use of towards Mr. Chadwick, and he repeatedly offered to insert any statement in contradiction of the libel that might be furnished him by Mr. Chadwick. This, however, was not done, but he was required to state as of his own knowledge that the charges were false, which it was impossible for him as a man of honour to do, particularly as, immediately after the publication of the letter of Evan Griffiths, he received a communication from the solicitors of Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., who was then chairman of the company, the plaintiff being the deputy-chairman, in which he was called upon to contradict the statement that he (Mr. Hughes), to whom the charge was sup posed to refer, had had any share in the transaction of the loan to the Richmond Railway Company, and that, on the contrary, he had protested strongly against that step being taken, and had instructed his solicitors to take proceedings against such of the directors as they might consider had been guilty of a breach of trust in the transaction. Under these circumstances it was im possible for the defendant to take upon himself to state what, the real facts were ; but, if Mr. Chadwick had furnished him with such a statement, he would gladly have in v erted it; and he therefore submitted that the de fendant had done all in his power in reparation, and that it would he very unjust to make him pay heavy da mages in such a case. The Learned Counsel then stated that, eventually, a letter was written by the se cretary of the Richmond Railway with the knowledge of the plaintiff, in which a full contradiction was given of the charge that had been made against the plaintiff, and that this letter was immediately inserted in the defend ant's journal, and, at a public meeting of the share holders of the North Wales Company, the defendant, who had made a purchase of shares expressly for the purpose of enabling him to do so, addressed the meet ing, and publicly expressed his regret at having inad vertently admitted the attack upon the plaintiff in his journal ; and, under such circumstances, he said, he could not help expressing his surprise that the present action should have been proceeded with. Evidence, documentary and parole, was than put in, to prove the statements referred to by the Learned Counsel, and the letter to which he alluded as having been written with the sanction of the plaintiff, embodying a distinct contradiction of the charges that had been made against him, and it was proved that this was immediately inserted in the journal of the defendant. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said that with regard to the publication of the libel the defendant had no de fence, for he had no business to insert a letter from an anonymous person making libellous charges, and, if he did so, he was responsible to the party aggrieved. He had pleaded that he had made a sufficient apology, and the letter that had been read, which was sent with the knowledge of the plaintiff, certainly put a very different complexion upon the case with regard to that plea. Thejury would, however, look at all the circumstances, and say what damages the plaintiff was entitled to for the attack that had been made upon his character. The jury, after deliberating for about five minutes, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501., including the 51. paid into court. In the course of the day the application was renewed for the admission of Edmund Garbett, the attorney, who was committed by the Court last week to bail, but the Lord Chief Justice said that as the Central Criminal Court, where the prisoner would be tried, was then sit ting, ho should not interfere. CROWN SIDE. John Durdan, the younger, a publican at Kingston, was indicted tor a criminal assault upon ayoung girl who had been in his service. The details of the case are quite unfit for publication. Mr. Locke prosecuted, and Mr. Chambers appeared for the defence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault. Lord Chief Justice Wilde finished the criminal busi ness this morning, and then tried some common jury causes ; and it is expected that he will sit again to-day to assist in disposing of the remaining business of the assize. OXFORD ClRCUl7:—Monmouth, April 3. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE., REES AND OTHERS V. PROTHEROE. Witnesses were called this morning for the defendant, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd replied• for the plaintiffs. His Lordship summed up, and the jury found for the plain tiffs for the full amount of damages claimed: The next and last case on the list was withdrawn, after an ineffectual attempt made by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, with whom was Mr. Rickards, the plaintiff, to have it deferred to Monday, on the ground of the absence of a material witness ; and opposed by Mr. Whateley, with whom was Sir T. Phillips, on behalf of the defendants. His Lordship then proceeded to try prisoners. Mr. Sergeant Allen also assisted in clearing the calendar. There were thus three courts sitting during the greater part of the day, disposing of the Crown business. By six o'clock, when they rose, there were only nine or ten cases remaining untried. These, however, were all of the heaviest and gravest character in the calendar, standing out in contrast to those tried to-day and yes terday, which were almost without an exception, such as in any other county would have been disposed of at sessions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HOUSE. Two boys, nectiierofwhOmwa; ;;;:ore than 12 years of age, were brought before the Lord Ma) or, charged with ha%ing made several attempts to pick the pockets of ladies who w•.:re passing through the streets. The prisoners, although of such tender years, were well known to several of the City police. They had Bowe time ago begun their predatory career by stealing any trilling property exposed at shop doors ; they then aimed at silk handkerchiefs in the pockets of gentlomen, and they asvendfd from that practice to the snore dtffi cuit one of stealing the purses of ladies. After having made many attempts with:lut success, one of them re ceived a severe slap in the face from a lady wtr)se pocket he turned inside out. They were then taken into cus tody, but the lady seem , d to think the chastisement 8 , .:e had ridlietrd quite enough, and refused to attend the ju , tiee-roorn. An empty purse was found in the pocket of vole of them; 'rite p r i zoliers sa id * h e po li ce we re mistaken. An officer, who had upon a former occasion appre . handed ono o f the boys, said, upon see i ng hi m i n th e cage, " Wh at I is it am inou again ?" " Ay, ay, old fellow," replie the boy, I a boy's fath er , one Spurrier, upon being spoken to on the ''ubk-o-, said, " There's not a greater thief in London than my son, t;tl I hope he'll be tratisiioried f.

Tho mother of the toy said, that uutii within the.let seven ,tr ne,riths her son was asgo. al a (4;i!d ss c:ver hvc,l, but h e happette,l to -et int , ' Iraq "'Ph). an was charged with robbery, after which he was placed • amongst the most depraved thieves, From that moment he became quite careless, and would only become worse by being sent for punishment amongst experiencf2d prisoners. One of the policemen said the boy certainly exhibited a total insensibility to disgrace, for, when in the cage and questioned about his conduct, &c., he began to dance and gave what is called the " double shuffle." The LORD MATOR considered the case was one which showed the necessity of increasing the responsibility of parents with rasp( ct to the dishonest conduct or their children. lie hoped that her Majesty's Government would, amongst their other great efforts for the benefit of society, include the consideration of the deplorable state of the thousands of poor children in the me tropolis, whose condition appeared at present to be inevitable. The wretched boys were remanded, and both swag gered out of the justice-rcom. Jolat Hounslow, a mail in the service of Messrs. Cham bers, ironmongers, was brought up, charged with having poisoned himself: It was stated that the unfortunate man had attempted to destroy himself in consequence of a suspicion enter tained that he had been concerned with another in robbing his masters. A person named .Tohnson has been in custody for some days upon the charge of having plundered the premises of a large quantity of nails, and the prisoner was remanded until the day on which John son is to undergo a second examination. GUILDHALL. Joseph Alexander, the Polish refugee, was brought before Mr. Alderman Wood for final examination, charged with uttering a forged acceptance for 5001., whereby Messrs. Fuller, the bankers, were defrauded of that amount. He was further charged with a forgery at common law, in respect to a letter purporting to be written by a person against whom he had brought an action; and he was also charged with stealing a halt'- crown. The room was crowded to excess: Mr. Robinson, the barrister, appeared with Mr. Taylor, a solicitor, on behalf of Messrs. Fuller; and Mr. Lewis conducted the prosecution on behalf of the other parties. Mr. Jones defended the prisoner, and Mr. Wolfe ap peared on behalf of Alfred Wilhelm, otherwise John Brown, who was charged with being an accomplice in defrauding Messrs. Fuller. The charge of stealing the half-crown was first en tered upon. • On the 16th ult. Alexander called in at a Mr. Alex ander's, a furrier, in Union greet, Spite Melds, and asked Mrs. Alexander to read a German letter to him. Her husband was present, but had occasion to leave the room, and her back being towards the fireplace, where the pri soner stood, he had an opportunity of purloining a half crown, which had been marked by the servant and pur posely left on the mantelpiece. When he left, the half crown was missed, and he was followed and given into custody in Chiswell-street. Upon hearing the charge he at first exclaimed, " My God, I have no silver;" but ne afterwards said there was a conspiracy against him, and that the marked money was paid to him by prose cutor in 11. worth of silver, and in liquidation of a debt of 81. The servant identified the marked half-crown taken from the prisoner by the police, and Mr. Alexander swore he did not owe the prisoner 81., or pay him 11. in silver, or pay him anything. In cross-examination by Mr. Jones, the prosecutor explained that the prisoner represented to his wife that he was a teacher of languages ; but that he was not engaged to teach her, as he bad been understood to say. Mr. Alderman WOOD committed him on this charge. The second charge was for uttering a forged letter, purporting to admit having received a quantity of skins, for the value of which he had brought an action against the simulated writer. Mr. Lewis, in stating the case, said that it would be observed that the forged letter bore a post mark in the vicinity of the residence of the alleged writer, and that two blank letters addressed by the prisoner to himself were found at his lodging. They were posted in the like manner, and the object was to have them ready to be filled up in any way that would best sustain the action brought f o r a su ppositious debt. The production of a letter which h a d reac hed the plaintiff through the post would of co urse te ll w ith th e jury. Mr. Lewis ad dressed himself for forgeryt o the law woud 'f liet h e where case, t o t he show that an indictmentinstrument forged was of less importance than a will, writ, or deed. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he would take it that the forging of any writing for the purpose of doing wrong to another amounted to forgery in law. Mr. Jones submitted that, as an action of debt was pending in another place, no proceeding could be taken in this Court in respect to the subject-matter of it that would have the effect of getting rid of the suit. The magistrate would otherwise be trying the case of debt. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, it was qtrzte competent to the prosecutor to proceed with any criminal charge as soon as he discovered the necessary proofs. Mr. Harris Michael, a furrier, in Castle-street, Houndsditch, deposed that he had received two lawyer's letters, demanding a debt of 97/., one a year ago, the other six months age. He owed the party nothing, and handed the letters to his solicitors, Messrs. Wire and Child. No writs were issued by them, but be was served with a writ by a third attorney, who was employed by the prisoner. This was on the Ist of March last. (A letter was then put in, bearing the post-mark... Bishops-' gate Within, July 6, 1645." .It began by stating that the writei feared, from the tenor '6l the prisoner's letter, that he supposed he (the writer) had sold the skins, but he had not done so ' • he had left them to be sold by commission, as the marks had not been removed well enough. The writer offered to accept a bill for 501., and referred to another transaction in mink skins. It was signed " Harris," and addressed to the prisoner Alex ander.) The witness said he was as often called Harris as Michael. The signature to the letter was an imitation of his signature, but he never wrote that letter or any other to Alexander, and never had any transaction in mink skins or any skins. He owed him nothing, and never did owe him anything. Mr. Alderman WOOD doubted whether the letter was such a one as would lead a jury to find against the sup posed writer on the trial of the action. The action was for the value of furs deposited with Mr. Harris. The letter was not precisely an admission of possession of such. property. Mr. Lewis said, it was not a question whether it was sufficient, but whether it was intended to be sufficient. Whether it admitted only receiving authority to sell, or the actual deposit of the goods, would be quite a questicn fur the jury. Mr. Child spoke to the proceedings he took for Mr. Harris. The officer deposed to receiving the forged letters, amongst a number of other papers, as documents left by the prisoner with Mr. Gates, a solicitor in Thaeet-place, who issued the writ for the prisoner. Mr. Gates said, the papers he delivered to the officer were left by the prisoner for care only, and were not papers delivered to him as evidence to be adduced in any proceeding, nor papers upon which he had been con sult( d. He had declined acting any longer for the pri soner as his attorney, before the prisoner showed him the letter produced. Mr. Alderman WOOD struck out the evidence as to what was said between the prisoner and his attorney, as being a privileged communication which the attorney had no right to reveal, even in a criminal case, without the sanction of his client. If such communications were not privileged an accused person would, to some extent, be deprived of the means of defending himself. The prisoner was commi ted on this charge. The third case was against Alexander and Wilbeam, alias Brown, jointly. Mr. Robinson opened the case at some length. We have recently stated the substance of the evidence. At the end of December the forged acceptance of 5001. was pa id a t Messrs. Fullers'. On the 16th of February Alexander gave charge of two persons, named Nicholas Kerp and the prisoner Brown, for committing that offence. Brown got away before they reached the station-house, and Alexander also slipped off; but there was abundant evidence against Kerp, and he was com mitted for trial. Alexander was subsequently appre hended for stealing the half-crown, and a few days after Brown was discovered at a coffee-shop in Soho. On the way to the station-house he confessed he was the party who uttered the bill, but said it was Alexander, who had given him and Kerp into custody, that furnished them with the bill. In consequence of his communi cativeness, the solicitors to the bankers sent his clerk to the station-house to invite him to make a voluntary statement. This, statement was the principal new evi dence tendered to-day. It was made in the presence of, a policeman, taken down by the solicitor's clerk, and signed by the prisoner. The confession states, that he was working as a painter when Alexander called upon him on the 28th of Decem ber, and said he wanted him to do something particular for him. lie went to Alexander's lodgings, .stopped there that night, and next morning Alexander said he had a bill of Mr. Kerp 's to H presen t, and he had 100 /. to receive out of the amount. He wanted the informant to Stret ton present it, and he took him to Samuels clothes shop, in Alex ander, who looked at it, and then gave him that he might Alexander then took him go respectably. to the Royal obtained the Exchange and introduced him to Mr. Kerp, saying, " This is the man I can trust it with." Kerp replied, " It is all right," and handed the bill to .g mu nd , and furnished him with new clothes, (Brown) the bill and showed him the bankers (Messrs. Fuller). He stranger together. Alexander said, " Don't pull the money out here." They all went to the Royal Exchange, where he, by Kerp's order, gave Alexander two 501. other. They 5001., and found Kerp, Alexander, and a notes, and the four 100/ notes to Kerp. Alexander said he must have gold for his notes, and he gave one to in formant to change for him, and went himself with the while they were there Kerp came in to change his notes. On leaving the bank, Alexander received the 50 sove reigns from informant and went away.

BRETT'S ELECTRIC PRINTING TELEGRAPH. An opportunity was afforded us on Saturday of wit nessing the practical application of Mr. Brett's electric printing telegraph, at the office of the company, in Par liament-street This telegraph has for some time past been successfully worked in America, and reports have reached this cluntry of communications having been rogularly made by it between Philadelphia and Pitts burg, a distance of 300 miles, with the most extraordi nary accuracy and celerity. It is also stated that the message of the governor to the Legislature of New York, delivered in Albany on the 7th of January, cow sisting of two columns and a half of solid nonpareil type, was published in the city of New York two hours after its delivery, having been transmitted sentence by sentence by the telegraph in question; and that measures are in the course of progress for the extension of this wonderful invention throughout the whole of Lower and Upper Canada, embracing at the same time Wash. ington and. New Orleans. The apparatus is thus de scribed in the prospectus of the company :—" At one extremity of the line is fixed a small box containing 1 ! row of keys (similar to those of a pianoforte), and marked with the letters of the alphabet, which is connected by a single wire to a printing machine at the other extre mity, containing a wheel, having on its circumferenc e corresponding letters. A sligkt electric .power is suffl cient to regulate the motion of the whole, and the in stant that a key representing any particular letter is touched at one end of the line, the corresponding letter of the type wheel prints, and the alarm-bell rings, at the. other. The communications are printed on a scroll of paper of unlimited length, from which any portion of the correspondence may be cut off at pleasure." The exile' riments at which we were present on Saturday Wer e , satisfactory in the extreme ; and proof was given th ts. between 80 and 90 letters could be impressed with ease • in a single minute upon the recipient paper, while th e consecutive letters of the alphabet wereeven taken doWe in so short a time as eleven seconds 1 The appearanc e of the typography is clean, but the lines are slightly' irregular. It is, however, beautifully clear and l e gible' and whatever defects there may be on the score of syfe metry may, no doubt, be easily removed by a little mechanical consideration. The advantages which tbie, telegraph enjoys over all others are too obvious to nee mentioning. Correspondence can be transmitted froln i place to place, no matter the extent of distance , copies ° which may be simultaneously secured at all the Intel; ; mediate stations, and printed news thus fly over Of surface of the land with the incomprehensible velocitY eb lightning. . In a letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel, in July, 18 45 '. by Mr. Brett, the attention of the Government wat il r o , vited to the following proposals:-Ist. The itunseatf communication of orders and dispatches to all par ts 4 the empire, and the instant return of answers to tli same from the seats of local government, -Sac., all de ro l vered in an untrring and printed form. 2d.

The application of the apparatuL police, military, and naval arrangements. That the 1%, vention contains within itself these and other adv ents ? , cannot for a moment be questioned; and it can hall ; be doubted that, before long, the British public will roe. e or less be in possession of them. Mr. Brett is like Wl !! Ihe originator and patentee of an oceanic line upon PI same principle, which he affirms to be equally simple 91 " practicable.—Morning Paper. The constable, however, swore that the prisoner could not hare obtained entrance to the premises in the acci dental manner his solicitor had stated, and that the ac cused had three times confessed to him that he had scaled the gates is tle way he had described; and Mr. ARNOLD, under these circumstances, considered that the time and manner in which the prisoner had bees detected were so replete with suspicion, that it was his duty to afford time for further inquiry, and, therefore, ordered the accused to b 3 brought up again next week for that purpose; but expressed his willingness to accept substantial bail for his future appearance, if it could be procured. The bail was shortly afterwards put in, and the pri soner thereupon liberated.

The following are a few of the mis- haps and traits in the story of this notorious miser, who was called Michael Bragan, alias M'Kenna. The first misfortune that befel him after his coming to this neigh bourhood a good many years ago, was, he had scraped together five pounds in bank notes, these he stealthily stuffed into the thatch at the eve of his master's house, but, the night he did so being dark, he could not after wards find the spot, nor was it discovered until the house next underwent thatching, when they were got all melted into pulp. He would not after allow the god of his idolatry to assume such a fragile shape as paper, so his next savings were made in that more substantial metal called silver. His next hoarding was hid in the ditch of a field, and his fre quent visits to the spot attracted the notice of a servant girl of the place where he then lived, who discovered the hidden treasure to the amount of 251., all in half-crowns, except one sovereign ; the girl decamped with the booty, which, when lost to the worshipper, produced from him wailing and lamentation the most piteous. These savings were made, it may be easily conjectured, by privations and self- denial the most rigid. tilts food for many years did not amount to more than lid. per day, although he enjoyed good health, and was constantly employed. He at one time bought a pair of shoes, and to make them last long he put them by, and went barefoot until they moulded and were good for nothing. A few hours be fore his death ho requested to be brougbt to a neigh bouring grove to get his money ; a donkey and cart was accordingly procured, when nearing the place, unable to open his eyes, he asked his brother to lift his eyelid, that he might point out the spot. The money being secured he seemed a little at ease as he was drawn home, his guides most inhumanely allowing his bead to bump about the cart like a dead carrion. Half an hour before dying, he ordered bread and tea to be got, of which he took a heavy meal, saying the while that had he done so before he would not have been so sick. His relations teasing him about the disposal of his last savings, amounting to 101. lla., he swore d—n him, if they vexed him more, that he, would not leave one of theca a far- MUSICAL LIBRARY OF THE LATE MR. ALSAGEB —The Earl of Falmouth has recently pnrcbaoed the extensive and valtuble library of this deceased amateur. The pianoforte compositions consist entirely of works of the classical masters ; the sonatas, duets, trios, quar tets, quintets, sestets, and concertos in one division alone, making upwards of 164 volumes. Of quartets for stringed instruments there are 107 volumes. The quintets occupy 68 volumes 1 The sestets, septets, and ultra, for both stringed and wind instruments, are cot, tained in 41 volumes. There are 9 volumes of trios ; 7 volumes of violin and violoncello duets ; 8 volumes of Handel's Overtures ; 13 volumes of studios, solos, and IT e :nodes for various instruments ; and 23 folios of modern unbound concerted music. The collection of sacred vocal music is extremely limited, consisting only of 67 volumes ; these, however, include Handers Oratorios, Mozart's Masses, Spohr's, Haydn's, and Beethoven's Oratorios and Masses. The lyrical works for voice and piano, including the best of Hossini's Operas, Weber, spohr, Cherubini, Gluck, Beethoven, and Mozart, oc cupy 50 volumes. There are also 22 volumes of old English operas, and some miscellaneous pieces by English composers. The scores are few; these being chiefly of quartets and symphonies, in all 50 volumes. The literary and theoretical works are still fewer, consisting only of ei, lit volumes The portraits of distinguished musicians and arti. ts du theatre that were hung on the walls of the music room amount to 180, in frames. The noble earl who is now in possession of this collection of music and musical portraits is well known as a practical amateur on the violin.—Record of Musical Union. It will be recollected that on the evening of the filth January the inhabitants of the Faubourg Mont martre were alarmed by cries of •• Help ! Murder 1" and that on some persons proceeding to a room in the house No. 4, a young woman was found lying on the floor, covered with blood, with several wounds on diffe rent parts of her body, whilst in the next room was a young man, who exclaimed, " Don't hurt me, I sur render—it is I who have killed the woman 1 " At the sitting of the Court of Assizes of the Seine, on Saturday, this man was brought to trios for an attempt at assassina ticn in order to commit a robbery. His name is Mar quis, his age 22, his trade that of a cabinet maker, and his apfearance particularly juvenile. On the day pre ceding that on which the crime was committed, he to tk a sum of 1251. from the person by whom he was cm ployed, and went fur a walk. He fell in with a young woman named Senet, and persuaded her to dine with him. They then went to the theatre, and after supper went to the woman's lodgings, where they passed the night. Marquis thus got rid of his money. The next morning the woman showed him her little treasure, consisting of several pieces of gold, a gold watch, and some silver. According to his own confession, Mar quis determined to obtain possession of the money and the watch, even if he should be obliged to murder the woman. The woman went out, and during her absence he took the things. On her return she missed them, and insisted on having them returned. The prisoner at first refused, and a struggle took place. At last he gave up the money, and said that he had only taken it by way of juke, and that he was very rich. Some time after the woman began to dress, and whilst so em ployed, the prisoner rushed upon her, and stabbed her repeatedly with a knife. She received fifteen- wounds altogether, two of which were very serious. For two months her life was in danger, and she has not yet en tirely recovered. The jury declared the prisoner guilty without extenuating.circumstances, and the Court con demned him to death. lie heard his sentence without the slightest emotion, and gazed unconcernedly around the Court as if looking for some one.—Galignarii. FIG TREE OF SCRIPTURE.—The fig tree is fre quently mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, and is com mon throughout Palestine and the East generally. Amongst the ancient Hebrews it was known as Thecae, signifying the tree of grief, probably from the leaf causing inflammation when applied to the body. It was from this tree that our first parents, after the fall, twisted for themselves girdles or aprons. Throughout the Holy Land the failure or destruction of the fig tree was accounted one of the greatest public or private cala mities. Hence it is said, " Although the fig tree shall not blossom, &c., yet will I rejoice in the Lord." In ancient Greece this fruit tree was well known, and exten sively cultivated. It was the pride of Attica. According to the traditions of the Athenians, figs first grew on a spot not fer distant from the city , o n the road to Eleusis, thence called Hiera Suke, " the sacred fig tree." So much prized was the fruits here produced, that the inhabitants were forbidden to export them. This law, however, was often contravened, and the informers against the delinquents were called sycophants, or " revealers of figs;" a word which has since been in use to characterise meaned-souled, dastardly persons, such as informers generally are. Naxos, a celebrated country in the Agean sea, was celebrated for its fig trees, which were especially cherished by Bacchus. who was the chief god of the island. Here this divinity obtained the title of Meilichios, " the gracious," because he taught them the use of this fruit. In the procession of this god the fig was carried next to the vine. Throughout Sussex the fig is planted as a standard tree.—Horticultural Ma gazine. THE RESOURCES OF ENGLAND.—What is now passing in England proves that there are no eventuali ties which can peril the repose of a nation when that nation obeys a wise and vigorous Government. The British nation is smitten by one of those calamities of which there have been no examples since the famines of the middle ages. England has the whole of Ireland upon her shoulders-5,000,0 00 or 6,000,000 persons to feed. Work must be found, 600,000 labourers employed at once, provisions procured, bread and money distri buted, and present necessities provided for without neglecting the care of the future. The most moderate calculations estimate the sacrifices of the treasury at 250,000,000 francs until the next harvest.. Suppose that France, which appears to have been comparatively spared, should find herself at this moment in a similar situation, how would our finances resist the pressure of the various charges, which already exceed the revenue? We bleed ourselves at every vein to distribute a few millions by way of indemnity to the inundated victims of the Loire, and to pay the labour of the needy part of the population. What would it be, then, if individual misrortunes, instead of being counted by thousands, ac cumulated by millions? What enables England to meet unforeseen necessities is the provident economy which she has introduced for some year s i n t o th e manage ment of her finances.—Siecle. SUPPLY OF INDIAN MEAL FOR IRELAND PROM MALTA.—It gives us real pleasure to announce that since the steam engine has been at work at the new bakery in the Dockyark Creek, that the Government has in a most praiseworthy manner lo s t no t i me i n ava ili ng s of this undertaking in providing for the wants of the fa mishing Irish. The surprising quantity o f 30 or 40 tons of meal have frequently been manufactured in one day. Several hundred tons have already left Malta for Ccrk, in a merchant vessel, called the Sir Robert Peel ; another is now loaded, the Alton a , an d h er Majesty' s ship Athol will sail shortly for th e same p or t, with a large supply.—Malta The Prince Royal of Bavaria, who is at present'in Naples, is causing a marble monument, with a suitable inscription, to be dected in honour of the Emperor Conradin, of Suable, one of his ancestors, who was de capLated in that city in 1268.

GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—Transactions this week have been very similar as to prices with those of last week. For some time past the principal founderies of Scotland have been at a stand from strikes among the workmen, but this decrease of consumption ha; been Made up by shipments to the United States, which have of late been considerable. The numerous vessels arriv- ing in the Clyde from that quarter with grain and cotton fill up with pig iron, at the rate, in many instances. of 18s. per ton; and altogether the prospects of trade with America are very cheering. We quote the price at 71s. 6d. per ton, and with little offering at that rate. —National Advertiser. THE LATE MURDERS IN KILKENNY.—Thomas Roe, the man who was found wounded, and was carried to the 'cells Police-station, on the dsy Mr. Prim, the pay clerk, and the police-constable were murdered, died on Wednesday morning. The same clay an inquest was held on his body. One of the Kells police deposed to deceased having confessed to him, shortly before his death on the previous night, that he (deceased) was one of the murderers, and that he received his wound from a pistol fired by Mr. Prim. Oct this evidence the jury found a verdict of " Justifiable homicide."--Kilkenny Journal. DEEP SEA FISHERIES.—The fishing trade has been at times of more advantage to the Dutch than their trade with the East Indies, or that of the Spaniards with the West Indies. The Dutch used to call their herring trade their gold mine, and remember it in their prayers. Philip 11. of Spain agreed to pay 1,0001. to the Irish Treasury for leave to fish on the Irish coasts. The Dutch, in the time of Charles 1., paid 30,0001. sterling fur a similar licence as to the British coasts ; and, in 1650, as a great indulgence, Sweden was suffered to employ only 1,000 vessels in the fishery on these coasts. In the reign of James I. it appeared that the Dutch fished in the English seas with 3,000 vessels and 50,000 men ; while 9,000 other vessels were employed conveying provisions, salt, casks, &c., to the fishermen, and taking the fish to market. Upon tha whole, it was computed that the number of ships and other vessels employed by the Dutch in these fisheries in the British seas were about 12,000, and nearly 200,000 men—a number almost passing belief. Why is not this energy displayed by us at the present day 7—lnverness Courier. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.--A few days ago, a hen belonging to Mr. Richards, of the gas works, in this city, and which he had lost for exactly three weeks, was found in a deep inclosed space behind a large tank at the works. It had probably descended there through a small orifice, which was the only entrance to it, for the purpose of laying, but found it impossible to return on account of its wings being clipped, and the entrance being so high up from the ground. The poor fowl had laid one egg, the shell and the white of which she had demclished, but although tempted by a hunger of three weeks duration, she had refused to touch the yolk. There was no other kind of food or water in the cell. When taken out, its comb was blue, and it presented other symptoms of emaciation, but is now fast recovering.— Worcestershire Chronicle. We have to record the demise of his Excellency Franceso Carboni, the Senior Diplomatist at the Court of Sweden, who died at Stockholm at the close of last month, in his 87th year. The deceased was Chargé d'Affaires of the Duke of Lucca, and fulfilled that office thirty years at Stockholm. He was also Consul-General for Naples, Sicily, Rome, and Sardinia. His Excellency the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Baron Von Ihre, and the entire corps diplomatique, attended the funeral of the deceased. SURPLUS GAME.—We are glad to be informed that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire has ordered the sur plus game atChatsworth and neighbourhood to be killed, and that that is new being done. Mr. Arkwright is taking the same laudable course upon his Derbyshire estates. Let others who possess excess of game pursue the same judicious and desirable plan. Excessive game. preserving has been the very nursery for poaching, or, in other words, a premium for poaching. NARROW ESCAPE FROM SUFFOCATION IN A CHURCH.—On Sunday last, during the morning ser vice at Powick Church, a young lady was observed to be in a fainting condition, and the same symptoms almost immediately afterwards affected others of the congrega tion, to the number of about twenty. They were con veyed into the open air and to the adjoining houses, and after some time and trouble they all recovered, having apparently suffered severely from incipient suffocation. It was found on investigation, that the alarming occur rence was caused by the sulphureous vapour evolved in the process of combustion, from the coke used for the purpose of warming the church.— Worcester Herald. CANTERBURY.—Some surprise has been manifested that the Judge of the Small Debts' Court for this dis trict has not appointed his circuit. But we hear that Mr. Chilton has declined to accept the office, which has occasioned the delay, and that Mr. C. Harwood has been appointed in his stead. Mr. G. Farley, solicitor, of this city,' has been appointed clerk. We have also heard parties named as bailiff and treasurer, though we cannot mention them with certainty.—Dover Chronicle. The Journal de Fecamp states that an immense bank of oysters has been recently discovered between the point of Barfleur and Cape de la neve, being nine leagues in length, two in width, and from 60 to 90 centi metres in thickness. This bank is three leagues distant from Barflenr, and eight from Havre. It is, however, in part beyond the limits assigned for oyster dredging for French vessels exclusively. Large quantities have already been taken up. A SITE AT LAST.—At length the Wellington Sta tue will be placed on a site that must satisfy the grum blers. In the very handsomest manner apiece of ground has been allotted to it in their own property by the pro prietors of the Thames Tunnel.—Punch. • CANINE ATTACUMENT.—A- short time ago - e • Bell, of Beathwaite-green, sent his man to bring horn of pony which he h ..(1 purchased of Mr. James 110103sion the Strickland Arms, Sizergh Fellside.

The man etO b lir on the way for a short time at the Duke of York P ti t be house, but upon his attempting to resume his jourti e licht dog entered a very significant growling protest, vl;P,„to upon the man's persisting in the attempt, deepeneu into rather alarming demonstrations of hostility. ApPa'r e „iise the animal, though he had no objection to his ecl-rj, companion taking a short journey under his safegetds had conceived in his doggish miaid a suspicion that th 17.0 were now going too far, and that he was really a boti bia# lose him.
