1 - 4 w 'AP P v : 4 e 6, SIN OFt:'• ,'!'even GLASGOW ELECTION. (BY ELECTRIC TELEfiRAPB.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Buchanan THURSDAY, 4 P. M. Met ry CLOSE OF THE POLL. .... 5,979 2,943 Majority for Buchman 3,036 IMPERIAL PAR LIAMEN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at 5 o'clock. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented several petithns from different parts of the mt,tr Tolls, praying that incomes under 1501 per annum may be exemptei from,tbe operation of the incime tax. Ea'l GRANVILLE said in consequence of the recent vote of 1113 House of GjD2MOII3 adverse to th 3 Government, it was his duty to inform the house of the intentions of her Alijes'y's Govern ment. The usual course under such circumstances was to tender the;r res'gnation, bat tHey did not think it advisable, after mature c3mideration in th'S' instance to adopt that c)nrse. (Heir.) Looking at all things and C )11S1Jerillg that upon the most impor.ant ques!ion of China they hid received the support of a large majority of the house, and looking also - at the comp;siti n of the House of Commons, ant co Isilerinl that st htdexi -t?dnowfive years—that IL h ;d passe llrrongh a time of war, and then b lec int) a p-.3riAl of peae3—lookiug at ail tiin - ie ftets, the Government thought it the most advantage ,us coursl to advise tht Ccovern to rSet 111- quecion to the eutri- - try, to a‘cettaia c'elr'y WA3 it; opi-ion two 1 the subjeit. All hi had to say was t h3r Alje3ty's Government ‘vou'd only pent to Parliament meaqtre3 that wer of , heg - ettfst po!tance, au'l w;;ich would nct give rise to any opposition. They would be of a ttmporaly nature with the view cf kn immediate appeal to the coun try, and to the calliz.g together a new Parliament. He could not but think that such a course would meet with no opposition. Earl GREY said there was a great omission in the exp'anAich. It was not ;ai , l whether it was inteude 1 t.trecAil Sir J. Bowri hg. If th ,y did n intend to do s^, be should bring forward a motion for Lis iee.ll7. der to the Sovereign their resignation, and leave to those wlio have elyaiued that majo:ity the task of conductng the affairs of the country, but the pre sent case s , ems to us to be of so peculiar a charac ter, that we have not deemed it our duty to submit to our Sovereign cur resignation of office. (Loud cheers.) Them: is another course which a Government under such circumstances might constitutionally adopt, : end that is the course we have deemed it our duty to pursue. We have advised the Crown at the earliest period at which the state of the busi ness of the house would permit, to call upon the con stituencies of the country to exercise that action which the constitution placE sin their hand. (Cheers.) Sir, I say the circumstances are peculiar, because wh - le, on the one hand, looking simply to the last debate, we should say that we have lost the confidence of the house, yet on the other hand, looking at the divisions that took place shortly before on questions involving very important portions of the policy of the Government. Very different and opposite results took plaee—,rcheers)—and also I am bound to say—l feel myself free to say—that someof those who concurred in the vote of Tuesday, did make it understood that that vote was not to be con sidered as implying a withdrawal on their pet of the confidence hitherto placed in her Ma jesty's Government. But, sir, it is in vain to deny that that would render it ve'y difficult, if not unseemly, for the Government with regard to a horn it was passed, to undertake to conduct the ordinary measures of this house through the rest of a long session, and moreover the state of parties which that vote ind;cates also ap pears to show, in connection with the various votes and conflicting opinions of this house in re gard to her Majesty's Government on former occa sions, that it would be extremely difficult for any Government that could now be formed, and I state this not in the form of any taunt, to carry on the basinesa of the country throughout the s'ess'on iu what appears to be the present feeling of tile home. (Cheers.) This Parliament was now in its fifth session, and its duration had been mea sured by scenes of more importance than bad been Ur e lot of mo t Parliaments in so short a time. It had seen three administratiens. (Cheers.) The one that called it, the one that followed, and the present. It had seen a transition from a state of European peace to great European war, and from a great European war to a re storation, fortunately, of European peace, and therefore, this Parliament has, I say, done as much as could be expectel. The noble ors then sail that the state of public bu-iuess did not admit of an immediate dissolution, and he hum bly suggested that the house should follow the prece dent of former years on similar occasions, and was done in the case of Lord Derby, that the house should confine itself with passing the temporary and provisional measures which would be ne cessary fer the public service, so that instead of arranging the t axes for three years, it would be but fir one, and to vote a sum on account of the estimates, leaving a new Parliament, that would probably ass3mble towards the end of May, to deal with all these great matters. He hoped the house would see that the course the Government proposed to adopt was one which was in accordance with the principles of the constitu tion—(cheers)----and that gentlemen would not place any obstacles in the way of the Government to effect that purpose. By . the course he proposed the country would have an opportunity of choosing be tween two different Administrations—the present, and ono to be formed from the combination of par ties in that house. It might be deemed advanta geous to the country that they should have that choice, and that was another ground which justified his throwing on the country the r sponsibility of determining on whom should rest the responsibility of conducing tha affaias of the country. (Cheers.) CHINA. The Earl of HARDWICK said he bad epee a state .. ment in the newspapers that the English had been-com pelled to retreat from Canton after they had been attacked: by a naval squadron, but that they 're treated.. in good order. The statement also con tainni an acc nint of the destruction of the suburbs of Cant n. He begged to ask the cable lord the &CM tary of War whether any despatches have been received by the Government containing such intelligence, and if so, why those despatches had not been punished. It was also stated that a similar state of things existed at Singapore, where the lives and property of British subjects had been imperilled. Lord PANMURE sail the qtvs.ien was a very impoi tent one, and notice ou t ,-ht to have been given. As to any transaction respeetirg the navy, those despatches would, of ceurse, not be addressed to him. He bad certaim.ly received de , patches from Honk Kong, stating that it was deeined neceseary by the authorities there to burn eomefof the suburbs of Canton, that some casualties bad taken place, teed a list of those casualties would be publi;bed in the Gazettc tomorrow. The Earl of ELLESMERE a-died L - ad Clarendon whether any despatches bad been received, giving an account of the transactiens alluded to ? Lt)rd CLARENDON said that despatches had been received by the Admiralty, giving► a statement of the transactions connected with the burning of the suburbs of Canton, and of the measures that had been taken to protect Hong Kor.g. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH again asked fOr fur ther information. Lord PANAIURE said it appeared to him to be the fashion with the members of a certain party to do all they could to place the Briti-h authorities in the m unfavourable light. He was prepared to stake his cha racter as a peer of the realm and a gentleman of Eng land upon the fact that our authorities in CAnton had done nothieg more than was . absolutely necessary. PERSIA. The Earl. of MALMESLUItY asked the noble earl the Secret ry for Foreign Affairp, whet,her It was true that a treaty of peace hal been siguci between this country and Persia ? Earl CL AP,ENDON said he was happy to say that a treaty of peace had boeu signed. That treaty had not been signed until Lord COA hy had satisfied himself that the Persian ambassador was possessed of ample powers. MINISTERIAL STAT.EiVIE'Nr: (LEFT SITTING HOUTZ OF (33,11;yi3N3—gais Eve.iins.) The uncertain state of political affars caused an unu - nal assemblage of member.; at a very early hJur. L )r- g before 3 o'clock the members were z , ) be seen hasteni.g front their clubs and resklenues to the house, where they songregatad both in the hou,e an I in the lobbies i n small knots, evidently discussing with much earnestness the probablty of their leaving at an earlier period than, perhaps, was convenient to many of theni to appear bo f re their constituent., and render an ancon,,t of their paitical conduct for the last five years Scarcely any inte rest was evinced by the public, and we never recollect to have seen less people assembled in Palace-yard, and around the approaches to the house, than this afternoon. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. Mr. Cobden shorly after entered the house and took his ulv,al seat, `.l - here be was joined -by Mr. M. Gibson, Mr. W. J. F..x, air. S. Herbert, and Mr. Ricardo, with whom he joined iu earnest conversation. Mr. Disraeli entered the, honse is silenc., followed by Sir James Graham and Mr. Glidstone. I,lrd Palmerston entered the house at 20 minutes to 5 o'cicck, and was loudly cheered. gOOD CONDUCT MONEY. Mr. PELLATT asked the. Under Secretary at War what qepe, Government had taken, by warrant or other wise, for reAorirg to seikutntl in the army the good conduct money which they enjoyed before promo:ion, viz , ono penny per clay for every five years' service, of which they hal been for so many years deprived ; aad whether it will have a retrospective as ;vat as a pro'- pective effect; also, whether it will benefit serj,ants of c.valry, artillery, engineers, and marines, as well ai those of the line ? Mr. F. PEEL said that a warrant had been islued, granting the good service pay to tbo , e who had been promote:l. It applied to the artillery and en g ineers, wall as the cavalry and infantry, but not to the marines, as they were not a portion of the land forces. The war- rant was not retrospective. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Cnancdlor of the Ex chequer whether he had a bib in preparation for uni formity of weights and measures ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had not. INSTRUCTIONS TO SIR M. SEYMOUR. Sir T. HERBERT asked the Fir,t L )..d :;f the Ad miralty if he had any Wjection to jay upon the tattle ui the hou se th e i ns t ruc ti ons S ir Michael Seymour as r e ( 'Ll!ed from th e Ad rntra lry f or hi 4 gu id ance , ad Commander in Chief in the China Sem, in what niation he was p!a-!ed with reference to carrying i a ,t ol ,__' ü b t.a"Y" recpiiAtion made to him by her Ma ., s-iirc.l;Ati;ntiary and Governor at bong Kong ? the instructions otthiepublic said he objected to the production of grounds. Perhaps it would be t uient for tha Sir M. Seymour had member if he infvrmcd him usual instruction s gi ven ad only had given to him the to,t admirals on foreign stations witli rezard to our pl.. n ; WEEKLY COMMUNICATIONia'Y' Mr. ti CAY LEY, .WI WI INDIA. In ref ly to a question trot Mr. V. SMITH said it Wa s ~,,,,e n- -u w . t h India. At .to open up a weekly communicaottioinnte""ed at present pres-at there was a fortnightly objection to r li Mr. KINNAIRD w-ke . d the Secretary of - 0 - State for .the Coloriies - if he bad any table of the house any despatches fro.n the Y G,, n ve t r he , Malta an the subject of the working of the Jury La''r, in general, and especia'ly with reference to the trial of the murderer•of Capt. Graves ? Mr. LABOUCHERE said he had not, and woull produce them if they were moved for. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT. Lord PALMERSTON rose about 20 minutes to six o'clock, and addressed the house as follows : Sir, in order to regularise what I am about to say, and to put it in the power of hon. members who have anything to say to do so, I intend to con clude my statement with the formal motion that this house do now adjourn. The house must na turally expect, after what happened on Tuesday night, that I should s tate to the house the course which upon due reflection her Majesty's Government in tend to pursue. Under ordinary circumstances there curd hardly be any alterneive left to a Govern ment ut on whom such a vo!e had bedn pxised; and the natural cow 09 would be that they should ten _ . Mr. DISRAELI sail he had no doubt a dissolu tion w. - 11141‘l_e a Ivantagui t.) the public, and he xrould give ev:ry taciftty to the Government for effecting that. object. Mr. COBDEN asked the Government what they iW ended to d. , ) iu consequence ,f th , l vote of Toe ;day night. The Covert - Inv - mit had no - right to hold office unless they: were p)ei.ared to miry out that vote ; and he called upon f7e noble lord to send a pe , son to Chill.' fully embowered to treat I.at;sra'.:torily wi , h the Chinese, ( cording as lie kand circtuns:aucs. ll ' S . ;O. WOOD said that tha Governmor.t had taken every precaution to sect.re British life and property in India ; and long before the discussi , n on China several frigates and gun-boats hid been ordered to China, ani were no do,.bt there by this time. • 1 Mr. S. HERBERT addressed the house, and d intardrd ftoar Government an answer to Mr. Co!)den's gnus tion. • Sir G. GREY pail the Government bad taken every precaution for the preservation of life and property in India, and he called on the house to give the Government credit for such a desire. Lord J. RUSSELL condemned the conduct of the Government in not stating the course they in t-nded t pursue in regArd to China, and said that the vote the hAtse had come to on this qu-scion was highly honouralde to it. 'The hou , e ought to know what Government intenclkd to do before thty granted the three months' supplies asked fur. Mr. ROEBUCK said that the noble lord had alluded to the vote of Ti.usday as a comb'nation or a conspiracy of parties, which he (Mr.RoebUck) denied. He gave his vote against Government, feeling the honour of his country bba in danger. He voted for the motion, because he agreed w:th it. He designated the explanation of the noble lord as a trumpery statement, and said that the Government had no policy. A set of men had disgraced England. The noble lord's Govern ment Lad supported them, and the house had de cided against them. The noble lord had deserted the Liberals, and not the Liberals him. They declined to follow him, believing that by so doing they w•mbl be disgraced. (Hear, hear.) After some remarks from Mr. J. M'GREGOR, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that the motion of the member for the West Riding had now become the solemn resole ion of the house, and consequently it should be, carried out by the Government. He called upon the Governinent to know for what they were making war, became Consul Parkes hid stated that the cane of the Arrow had been settled. What, be asked, were they at war with China for if it were not for Sir J. Bowriug's entry into China. The question now was, as tin house was to dissolve, and several we•sks must elapse before a new Par liament cou'd aisemble, upon whose policy were measures iu China to be carried on during the in terval 13 , fore them. Thrihouse was bound to have an „answer to the quest;on. He entreated the house not to be beguiled from its essPntial func tions, viz., the gt auting of supplies fur carrying on war with China just as it would have been if the motion for the first reading had not been adopted by the house. Whilst willing to give facilities for conducting public busines4, lie would not abrogate his functions as a legislator, and he therefore called on the noble lord to state his Chinese policy before the motley was granted.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, A PEER AT FAULT. Some evenings since the Earl of Leitrim, in his place in Parliament, d&iyered a short speech, the substance of which caused some surprise at this side of the Channel. Few persons were prepared to hear that amid the prevailing general tranquillity the county from which his lordship derives his title was in a state of disorganisation which a dozen or so years back might have excited the admiration and won the thanks of CTtain. Rock himself. Newspapers were hunted up and files 'diligently scrutinised, but still no evidence could be traced of the dark and mysterious conspiracy against life and property indicated by the noble - earl. At length the asiizes came on, and the Judge's charge to the grand jury was expected to make the revelation which was vainlysought for in.the usual channels of information ; but here again the expectants were doomed to disappointment ; Baron Greene provok ingly congratulated the grand juryon the peaceable state of the county. There were but two serious cases on the face of the calendar—one an attempt to murder, and the other having connection with the Riband Society, but as that was the first of the kind he had had to deal with fir a long time his ordship was of opinion that the conspiracy had ] gained no permanent footinz in the county. Scarcely had the learned Judge concluded his remarks when Mr. O'Bearne, one of the grand jurors, begged to call the attention of the Court to a resolution adopted by the grand jury, by way of a rej , inder to the statement made by the Earl of Leitrim, reflecting on the peace of the county, and which he begged leave to read for the benefit of all persons concerned : " We present and resolve that the grand jury have seen with astonishment certain statements of Lord Leitrim in the House of Lords which represent the county of Leitrim to be in a disturbed state, unsafe for life and property ; whereas they can testify the county to have never been more peaceable, and, considering that these statements reflect upon the gentry, magis trates, and inhabitants of the county, they think it their duty publicly to record their dissent from his lordship's s'atements. A copy of this resolution to be handed to the judge presiding in the Crown Court at this assiz?s, and one forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant. " HUGH LYONS MONTGOMERY, Foreman." In reply, Baron Greene observed that if the calendar was an indication of the state of the county, and from what he had heard, the resolu tion was fully borne 'out. Throughout the scene the noble earl was seated on the Bench, and main tained a dignified silence. TIPPERARY ELECTION. There will be a fierce and fur some parties ruin ously expensive contest for the seat of Jas. Sadleir. Both parties are determined to fight it out, and, as the support of the Roman Catholic clergy is pretty well divided be ween Mr. Waldron and " the O'Donaghue," the result of the battle is not certain. The county meeting held yesterday turned out to be a county farce. The Young [re'and party packed the Court-house, and, Mr. Waldron failing to ob tain a hearing, the proceedings tetrainated in a scene of uproar. A letter from Tipperary observes that " the O'Donaghue of the Glens" may he all that Mr. G. H. Moore's fancy has painted him, but the electors at large are of another mind, and'have unmistakeably evinced a preference for the gentle man who holds a large property in the vi&n ty he seeks to represent. Mr. Waldron is an advanced Liberal, but no factionist in a pol tical sense, and as a highly educated Roman Catholic he bas learnt to be tolerant towards all other religious sect... , _HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The deaths in London have exhibited a slow but con stant decrease during the four weeks of February. In the week that ended last Saturday the total number regis tered was 1,216. In the ten years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with the last week was 1,148. But the deaths now returned occurred in an increased population, and for comparison with the average, the latter should be raised proportion ally to the increase, in which case it will become 1,263. The result of the comparison is a difference of 47, show ing that the rate of mortality last week was rather below the average. The zymotic class of diseases was fatal last week in 197 cases ; the corroborated average is 243. These figures indicate a very favourable condition of health, especialy amongst young persons, who are chiefly Hat le to many of the diseases included under this head. Hoop ing-cough is still the most fatal of the zymotic complaints, but it shows a decrease on previous returns, the weekly deaths from it in February having been 61, 70, 74, and 53. Of 45 deaths from typhus and common fever only 6 occurred in the southern districts, although in the five divisions of the ruetr op; liar the south contains the largest popu'ation. The central districts also appear to have been comparatively free from fever, one death in that division having been from scarlatina, and 4 from typhus. A woman died in Ling's-court, in the Charing-cross aul - w - iistrict, from cholera, after 48 hours' illness. Mr. Leonard who attended her during the latter stage of the disease states that it bare a close resemblance to the Asiatic type. The deaths from pulmonary diseases were last week 304, whilst the correctedaverage of correspondirg weeks is 276. The excess is not very con=iderable, and arises from bronchitis, which was fatal in 166 cases (the average being 131), a number greater by 75 than that referred to pneumonia. Phthisis which stands in the tubercular &ass carried af 142 persons. Two persons died of car buncle ; three of intemperance ; a boy, 9 years of age, died under chlorof, rm administered with the view to an operation. Only two nonagenarians, both widows, and the oldest 91 years of age, are recorded in the returns. Last week the births of 925 boys and 896 giil., in all 1821 chil Iren, were registered in London. In the ten correspondinz weeks of the years 1847 56 the average number was 1631. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30 214 in. The mean reading was above 30 in. on every day from Wed nesday the 18th ult. to the end of the month. The barometer rose so brgh as 30 . 40 in. on S:tturday. The mean temperature of the week was 41.2 degs., and Wit '4 1 . 9 degs. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest temperature occurred c.O Saturday, •and was 56'9 degs. ; the lowest occurred on Wednesday, and was 24 9 degs. The range of the week was 32 degs. The mean dew point temperature was 36 9 degs , and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 4 . 3 degs. The air was frequently calm ; the wind was very variable ; at the beginning and end of the week it was in the south-west. There was no rain, except a little not measurable by the gauge on Wednesday.

From the knee to the ancle it had several wounds, so that. she was unable to stand or move abou the house. She tried a variety of means a n d applica tions, but without obtaining a cure. By the blessing r I God and using only three pots of Poor Man's Friend, and taking three boxes of pills, she was perfectly cured. Dr. Roberts's Poor Man's Friend, for wounds and erup tions of every description, is sold in pots, is. 1-d. and 2s. 93. each. His Piluke Antiscrophulx, for all im purities of the blood, is sold in by xes, ls. 111, 2s. 93., 4s. 6d., lie., and 225. each, by all medicine vendors throughout the United Kingdom and Colonies. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. —By the joint action of these two inestimable specifics all cutaneous eruptions are quickly banished from the system, the worst description ;of wounds or ulcers are easily eradicated, the morbific matter which nature finds injurious to her is thrown out, and a tho roughly healthy state of the blood and fluid is the result, restoring a sound mind and body to sufferers after other treatment has been found ineffectual, in many cases saving surgical operations, and even life itself, by their miraculous Dower. Sold by ail medicine vendors throughout the world ; at Professor Holloway's Esta blishments, 249, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden-lane, New York; by A. Stampa, Constantinople; A. Guidiey, Smyrna; and E. Muir, Malta. The indictment appeared to have been preft reed under the followieg&rcum.tances :—Dr. Wynne held the lease of a house in Finsbury-square, and he carried on there his professional practice, and it appeared that in the course of last year the prosecutor, Mr. Benham, whe is the managing clerk of Mr. Jones, an attorney, entered into an arrangement to occupy a portion of the house for the use of his family, Dr. Wynne still retaining some rooms on the ground fkor for the purposes of his pro fession, and also a I , ed-room in the upper part of the pre mises. There appeared to be no doubt that very soon after the arrangement in question had been carried out, and the prosecutor and his family had taken up their abode in the house, a great deal of ill•feeling arose be tween the prosecutor and Dr. Wynne, and that there were frequent altercations and disputes between them, and that these disputes eventually led to the occurrence that was now the suLjec: of inquiry. The assault in question appeared to have been committed about twelve o'clock at night on the 29th Dec., and according to the case for the prosecution, Mr. Benham, his wife, and the family, consisting of two eons and a daughter, were about to retire to bed, the bedroom of the prosecutor being on same landing as the one occup'ed by Dr. Wynne, and as he was about to enter his room the latter came out of hisbedroorn, rushed upon the prosecutor, struck bins with his fist, and forced bins pertly to the ground, and whilst in that posNon he called to the other prisoner Tinley, who, it appeared, was the doctor's servant, to come to his assistance. It was stated upon his doing so Tinley ran up stairs, exclaiming that he would give the prc secutor a pill, and with a poker struck him a violent blow on the head, and inflicted twe very serious wounds, and, under these circumstances, the present in , !iotinent was preferred against both the prisoners. The jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted both prisoners. John Paul, 62, and Joseph William Hawes, 40, were charged, the former with having feloniou,ly uttered a receipt for 2901., knowing it to have been forged, aril the latter with having forged the same instrument, with intent to defraud the guardians of the poor of the city of London UniAL Tnis charge arose out of the frauds and forgeries com mitted 1.3 , the prisoner Paul in his capacity of clerk to the guardians (f the city of London Union. It will be remembered that the prisoner was convicted at the last session and sentenced to be transported for fourteen years, and he appeared in the duck in his convict dress, And exhibited the most dejected and miserable appear ance. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty azainst Paul and acquitted Howes. No further judgment was passed upon Paul upon this conviction, but he was merely remanded back to gaol to undergo his former sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—March 4. BOW-STREET.—THE MILITARY BEGGING-LETTER IMPOSTOR.-'v illiarn Wilson, the old man who stood re manded on the charge of having obtained 8/, from Lord Rokehy, under false pretences, was brought up for final examination. The prisoner had been twice remanded, the first time for the purpose of inqu'ring as to his antecedents. It ap peared that he bad gone by the name of Major Talfrey, but no former offence was established against him. He was apparently much agitated, and declared that Taltrry was his real name, and that he had been an officer. He was then again remanded, at his own request, as he ex pressed a wish to consult his sol'citor, and said he ix lievßd he could produce Mrs. Duke, on whose behalf he had obtained the money. Mr. Henry now said that he had received a letter from the prisoner, admitting that he could not produce Mrs. Duke, and that his'soticitor could not at end. He must therefore come to the conclusion that the prisoner having in some way heard of Mrs. Duke had made use of btr name to obtain the money for his own purposes. Lord Rokeby and his hrother officers would be glad to assist Are. Duke if she were living and in distress, but they had reason to believe that she was dead. The prisoner —She is living, sir. Mr. Henry —If so, why not produce her and clear yourself ? The prisoner—l cannot without inculpating others. I have nothing more to say, except that I hope that in ap portioning my punishment you will take into account my advanced age, and the malady I am suffering under: Mr. Henry—You may be thankful that L or d R o k e b y does not wish to prosecute you at the seEsions, in which case you would get a much heavier punishment than I can inflict. ' Committed for three months. Barney Levy and George Williams were charged with breaking into the house of Mr. James, of C:eve land-square, and stealing 50i. worth of jewellery. On the night of Jan. 29, the prosecutor's servant, Charlotte Cockett, was alarmed by a imm passing aloo,g the parapet In front of the wiudow of her room (the front attic.) On going down stairs she found that her mistress's jewel case had been stolen from the dressing table. It was found that an entry had been forced by an attic window adjoining that of the servant's. Foot steps were traced between that and an empty house a few doors off, and a man named Leonard came forward and stated that he had eeen three men come out of that house. A few days after the prisoners were taken into custody for an attempt to enter an empty house in Keppel-street, and a jimmy and some skeleton key were found on them. One of the keys fitted the door of the empty house near St. James's ; the jemmy corre sponded with the marks on the forced window, and the piisocers were identified by Leonard as two of the three men he had seen leaving the sou , e.— Committed for trial. MANSION-HOUSE —Margt. C , cbrane was;brought h.•f.,rß the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen a 51. note. Mr. A. Apples )n, clerk in the accountants' bank-note office of the Bank of England, said—l produce a Si. Bank note, No. 22,901, dated De::. 12, 1556, which was paid info the Bank on the 25th of Feb. last. It is en don.ed Cochrane, 17, IThrrk-'ane. E:izabeth Fletcher, wife of a c h ees ernonge a r t in e F n o o r te s , - street, Ciipplegato, said—The endorsement is in my handwriting. About the 9.h or 10th of Februar y the prisoner brJught the note to me, an d bou g ht s me b ac (, n to the amount of 44. 6d. or 5-i., and I gave her th e change. I was very particultv a b o ut changinh and asked her ques tions ' w hich she answered by sayi ng that she and her husband were taking care of offic.'s in Mark-lane, and the latter had received it as a pa t t of his salary. E. H. Long, clerk to' Mr. Shotbridge, of 17, Mark lane, wine merchant, said—Th. counting.-house is on the ground fl ,or, and we have lan iron safe in the fro , t counting-house, the key of which safe is in a desk in the office, which i 4 kept locked at night. We are in the habit of keeping the money in a box, which is rot kept !oelied, in a drawer in the iron cafe. On the 28th of January last I received two 51. notes from Moors. BRISTOL SUGAR—MAucIi 4.
