Among the many horrible catastrophes recorded in the annals of the British sea-service, one more melancholy cannot be instanced than the loss of the Tweed. The narrative of this disastrous shipwreck, already inserted in our columns, has so elaborately detailed the circumstances of the calamity and so fully recounted the misfortunes of the survivors that it were needless to recapitulate them. Nor is it by ally means necessary to insist upon sufferings su manifest, upon fortitude so noble, upon enterprise so ingenious and daring, as the sufferings, fortitude, and enterprise evinced by those who escaped destruc tion. The story of the wreck of this noble vessel upon the sunken reef of the Alacranes, situated about seventy miles northwards from the peninsula of Yucatan in the Gulf of Mexico, is characterised by all those adjuncts of misery and desolation which impart such intense interest and such pathetic fascina tion to the narratives of the perils encountered on the ocean. After leaving Havannah on the 9th of February, with the intention of touching at Vera Cruz and Tampico before returning on the homeward voyage to Southampton, the weather becomes un favourable, there is a storm of thunder and lightning, and the solar observations are interrupted by the gloom of the atmosphere. The Tweed, nevertheless, pursues her course without interrup tion. Early in the morning of the 12th of February, the occupants of the ship being in the peaceful un consciousness of sleep, with the exception of the cap tain and the few seamen upon their ordinary watch, there is a cry of "Breakers ahead !" At half-past three, A.m., the Tweed strikes upon the submerged rocks; at four her massive timbers are scattered in fragments over the surf. Seventy-nine human beings are clinging to the precarious juts of the Alacranes, foodless, almost naked, destitute and still involved in darkness. At daybreak the feeble hopes that had been previously entertained are abandoned, the survivors find themselves encompassed on all sides by the " remorseless waves,"—not a vestige of land—their footing a reef of breakers covered by the water variably to the depth of two and six feet—the ruins of the magnificent ship float ing in all directions. With an almost incredible com posure these seventy-nine wretched creatures — scarcely covered with clothing—saturated to the skin —gather together upon the rocks, consult as to the course most advisable under the circumstances, submit themselves to a rigid discipline, and separate into parties, under the direction of the different officers. It were unnecessary to re-enumerate the struggles which follow against these appalling and accumulated adversities, from the patching of the mail-boat with rags for caulking and a copper bolt for a hammer, to the departure of the forlorn hope under the command of the first officer, Mr. ELLisos, and the construction of the loose platform at the insti gation of Captain PARSONS. Our intention is not to enlarge upon the contrivances adopted for the pre servation of life and the search of assistance, it is not to deepen the gloom which envelopes the picture, it is to record the courage and the self-possession of those intrepid men, under whose conduct so many of our fello w -creatures have been rescued from a frightfully perilous situation. The obe dience and sobriety which were maintained during five days and five nights upon the Alacranes ; the dauntless passage of the forlorn hope in the mail-boat, cobbled up with stray spars and casual nails, steered by the chief officer through the twilight of the 12th of February, with the scarcely distinguishable com pass between his knees, and the reef extending before him_ for a considerable distance; the noble disin terestedness, the bravery, the generosity, the ad mirable and affecting self-forgetfulness of BERNAR DINO CAMP, the commander of the Spanish brig Emilio —these are the means by which, under the Supreme GOD, the survivors of the roy a l mail steam-ship Tweed have been preserved from destruction. Upon the heroic young Spanish captain—" worthy, noble, humane BERNARDINO CAMP !" as he is gratefully apostrophised by one of the passengers of the unhappy Tweed—we are satis fied that the sublimest recompense of every good action has already fallen, the consciousness of having acted with a greatness of heart beyond all commen dation, beyond even the exaggeration of the most extravagant panegyric. But the dignity of our common blood demands that this fine-hearted sailor should feel that his magnanimity is appreciated and his character beloved. A thousand channels are open to convey this knowledge to him—let one at least be selected ! Upon the officers of the unfortunate steam-ship the honour rests of having displayed an endurance and a daring fully equal to the emergency of their position. To them, to Captain PARSONS, and espe cially to his brave coadjutor Mr. ELLISON, the grati tude of the survivors has been already expressed ; and the exertions of the latter officer—exertions which require no eulogium, seeing that he was in dividually the leader of the forlorn hope have elicited from the rescued passengers the following emphatic acknowledgment : " To Mr. Edward Ellison, the first officer, we feel sure that all who have survived the wreck entertain but one feeling with regard to his gallant and resolute con duct in the performance of a most arduous duty. In the only remaining ship's boat cast upon the reef, with her bows stove in, and her sides and bottom much damaged, he undertook, without a moment's hesitation, to convey to the Campeachy coast the news of our distressed con dition, after a most arduous passage through the shoals at night, and exposed during another day and night to all the risks of starvation or of foundering ; he and his gallant boat's crew accomplished this object after run ning a course of not less than 100 miles. He was the first, after all his hardships and fatigues, to cheer us again by his presence. We once more beg to express the deep sense entertained by each and all of us in re spect to his manly and courageous conduct." The extraordinary fortitude and endurance dis played throughout this appalling catastrophe by the officers, the patient obedience of the passengers and crew, and the splendid and magnanimous generosity of Captain BEZNARDINO CAMP, demand this simple but heartfelt commemoration. Perhaps there are none among the official servants of the Crown whose duties are of a more difficult or arduous character than the Governors of distant colonies. They are compelled to carry out the in structions received from the Colonial Office, although thoroughly convinced in their own minds of their impolicy, and although in so doing they may receive the strongest opposition, not only from the inhabitants of the district, but also from the members of the Exe cutive or Legislative Councils, who constitutionally are entitled to advise and assist in all things relating to the government of the colony. Should that ad vice be slighted, or neglected, feelings of bitter animosity are excited in the minds of those who con ceive themselves to be thereby despised. Their opinions may be based on justice and equity. The Governor himself may be satisfied by the soundness of their thereof which in the a f r ac g t urnents as to the correctness of their views. New Downi ng - \ possibility, of street, heeNtvould even satisfy degree confirmatory conduct but still he is satisfy the authorities in persevering the imprudence, if not the irn matitscti:ehttered and restricted by his instructions ;n o in any particular line of a a r ri. t. from the strict letter cumstances, he cannot d o e w urgent may Banner which may be the cir thereof. No discretion fart not to preside over affairs i n t ed ; he is appointed at the same time be most conduci the colony and the best interests untfhe welfare of the mother country. No, it is to carry out so me P et some hobby of the Colonial S cre t ary for the:lnr beingujecti —to that he must stick per far auk nef as . brought It e may be some gigantic experiment, some system into use for the purpose of giving a solution to one of the most difficult of social problems," one not adopted in consideration of its effects on the territory over which he is placed, but suited to the • exigencies of the old country, and determined on by persons utterly ignorant of many circumstances that necessarily should be taken into account before a final decision was arrived at. Many months must elapse before an answer can be obtained to any remonstrances forwarded to head-quarters; and during that period he must continue to act against his own conscientious convictions and in obedience to fallacious principles ; any remonstrance must be of a peculiarly delicate description. If he insists on the impossibility of carrying into execution that which is prescribed to him, and urges its impolicy in a bold and ener getic manner, he offends the Minister, who has full power over his destinies, who, on his mere fiat, may hurl him from his position, and consign him to a pri vate station, branded with the Royal displeasure. All he can do in such a case is, to state the results of the system, in plain and simple language, and allow the Secretary to judge for himself as to its policy or impolicy, and as to the necessary altera tions to be effected. If it should eventually fail, he is the ready scape-goat to bear the odium and dis grace attendant on that failure, and the great man is too often happy to give him up to public condemna tion, and to transfer from his own shoulders the merited opprobium to those of the ready victim. While the duties are necessarily of this ardu ous character, it is incumbent that the Go vernor should be supported in the strongest and most efficient manner in their discharge. No vague rumours or calumnious insinuations should be listened to. If the Governor shows himself to be manifestly incompetent, he should of course be dis missed, but a full explanation of that incompe tence should be afforded, and of the acts of omission and commission by which it was manifested, and also any directions by which he was prohibited from the free exercise of his judgment. The public would then judge between him and the Minister about to displace him, and that judgment would in nine cases out of ten decide correctly as to the party really in fault. If any direct charge is preferred, if it bears on its face a verisimilitude, and that a reponsible party puts himself forward and de clares his ability and readiness to substitute it, he should be apprised thereof, and given a full oppor tunity to enter into his defence. And he should have accorded to him that which is the birthright of every British subject, viz., that he should be deemed inno cent until his guilt was fully proved and established ; but anonymous accusations—the whispered insinua tions of the coward—should betreated with the con tempt and disregard they merit. The case of Sir EARDLEY WILMOT, the late Gover nor of Van Diemen's Land, presents features of pecu liar hardship. The correspondence on the subject, recently ordered by the House of Lords, if that can be called a correspondence which is wholly one-sided, consisting only of a public dispatch and private letter from the late Secretary for the Colonies, ap peared in our columns a few days since ; and we this day insert a letter bearing the sig nificant signature, " AUDI ALTERANI PARTEM," which casts a strong light on the manner and the injustice with which he was treated. That private letter of Mr. GLADSTONE plainly shows that the dismissal, as well as the refusal to hold out any hope of future employment were founded, not on the public acts of Sir EARDLEY, but on the rumours relating to his private life. Those rumours admittedly did not take the form of charges or information, supported by the names of the party tendering it; but, like Rhadamanthus, that inexorable judge, Mr. Secretary GLADSTONE, " Castigat auditque dolor," first punishes as if they were well founded, and then expresses himself ready to hear the exculpation of Sir EARDLEY IVILmoT from those anonymous calumnies. He admits that it would be his duty, but for those rumours, to express a willingness to consider of any favourable opportunity which might offer for re employment. He admits that, if they were sanctioned by the names of parties, it would be his duty to refer them to Sir EARDLEY for his answer before acting on them, but, as they are not so guaranteed, he treats them as if fully sustained by evidence. Sir EARDLEY WiLmox appears to have acted in the manner becom ing a high-minded gentleman—conscious of his own innocence, he courted the strictest investigation. life laid the secret dispatch before the Executive Council, who, at his request, appointed a committee to under take the inquiry. That committee, consisting of the chief justice, the commander of the forces, and a highly respectable clergyman, reported that such an inquiry was absolutely impracticable, no charges having been brought capable of being directly substan tiated or directly met, and they very properly refused to accede to the request preferred by Sir E. WiLmoT, who, possessing the mens conscia recti, was anxious that they should invite every person who had any charge against him to come forward and substantiate it. Addresses were forwarded even by his political opponents, contradicting in the strongest manner the unjust imputations, and showing that what in Eng land were considered as notorious facts, in Van Diemen's Land were looked on as notorious falsehoods. Desirous as Mr. O'CONNELL is of visiting Rome, we nevertheless collect from the most recent intelli gence, in regard to his health, that his chief anxiety is to find himself permitted, by renewed strength, to revisit his native country at the earliest possible mo ment. We trust that he will be speedily relieved from all apprehension in the above respect ; and we sincerely rejoice to be informed, from authentic sources, that firm hopes are entertained of his health becoming promptly and satisfactorily improved. No one should be unmindful of the services which were rendered by Mr. O'CON NELL, within a recent period, to Ireland and the empire at large, by his bold and manly opposition to the desperate principles embraced by the seceders from Conciliation Hall. We had hoped that, smitten as Ireland has been with a severe national calamity, and succoured as she has been in her misery by the splendid munificence of Great Britain, intervening reflection might have produced a wholesome change in the principles and feelings of the " phy sical force" association. This expectation, however, never strong at any time, has completely vanished, and hence it is we deplore the unavoidable absence of Mr. O'CoNNELL from the shores of Erin. On Wednesday last the Irish Confederation held their monthly meeting in Abbey-street, Dublin ; and whether we regard the speech of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, M.P., or the resolutions that were passed, it is impossible to refrain from passing the severest censure both upon the one and the other. The address of the Member for Limerick was fraught with ingratitude and public vice ; happily, however, it was as inconsistent as pernicious. Sweltering in his venom, his feelings carried him too far and led him to prove too much. The be-all and the end all of both speeches and resolutions was to urge the repeal of the Union. But the very men who were the most bitterly arraigned by Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN were members of the confederation, styled, par excellence, " The Irish Party." Their conduct and votes, in reference to Lord GEORGE BENTINCK'S railway pro position in the House of Commons, were such that Mr. S. O'BRIEN considered it "a spectacle that made him ashamed of the name of an Irishman ; he saw those men, who had vowed before GOD and their country never to allow any interest to weigh one feather in the balance with the interests of their country he saw them, under the influence of the British Minister, record their votes against that measure ; from that moment he saw that the very name of an Irish Member was a byeword among nations." This language was rap turously applauded. But if it conveys a true de scription of the character of the Irish party, who have claimed for themselves the credit for the purest patriotism, and have consequently felt themselves emboldened to agitate for a repeal of the Union, can we find a stronger argument in favour of its maintenance ? And how grate ful ought not Mr. SMITE O'BRIEN and his " chosen few" to be that Great Britain firmly resisted handing over the government of Ireland to the tender mercies of the phalanx of whom the Member for Li mer i ck has spoken in such unmeasure d terms ? Let us " though s u pp ose th a t the I r ish Party at large h ad prov e d t h emselves equal to the self-vaunte d patrioti sm a nd concentrated wisdom of Mr. SMITE O'BRIZISI should we th en h ave b een one w hit l ess justifi e d in itw s upholding the Uni on ? Thi s orac l e de clares that not on any li g ht groun d s t h at t h e principles of th e Irish Confederation were promul gated, and from those principles he was not prepared to recede—not to speak of the memorable controversy on, physical force, —a controversy which remained as unsettled as ever,—there was still remaining what would ever he a bar to effectual coalition—he meant a Whig alliance." On such grounds Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN was not prepared to coalesce with Mr. O'CoNNELL, and " take his place behind the Mi nister." Under such circumstances, we would re mark of the split between Conciliation Hall and the Music Hall, esto perpetua, and with respect to the re volutionary sentiments last quoted, and which were vehemently applauded by the auditory, is there ought wanting to confirm our prudence in faithfully adher ing to the Act of Union ? Madrid journals of the 3d have been received. The Gacela contains the official ann ounceme nt of the following appointments :—Lieutenant-General JOSE MANSo to be Captain-General of Valencia; Major-General FERNANDEZ DE CORDOVA to be Cap tain-General of Madrid ; Lieutenant-General JOSE DE CONCUA to be Inspector-General of Cavalry. MADRID BOLSA, APRIL 3.—The Three per Cents. closed at 32} for cash ; the Fiv© per Cents., at 201 ; Passives, at G ; and Coupons, at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. With the exception of the Journal des Debats, they all have articles on what they are pleased to denomi nate the check which France has received in Spain and in Greece. The Opposition papers of all shades continue to affirm, and to comment on as true, the rumour of the fall of COLETTI in Greece, notwithstanding the posi tive denial of the truth of the rumour by M. Du- CHATEL, the Minister of the Interior. The Union Monarehique, the organ of the Legiti matist party, has the following on this subject : " For about eight days the Ministry has known the recent events that have occurred in Greece, not the news of the fall of the Coletti Cabinet, but the menace of the English Government, to the effect that it would obtain payment of a debt of which poor Greece was un able to give a farthing. Now, nothing was more easy than to foresee that M. Coletti being able neither to pay nor to resist, had only to abandon his place ; that is what be has done. M. Coletti then is overthrown in Greece, and we may say the influence of M. Guizot with him ; for M. Guizot gave us this singular spectacle, that at Paris he is not to be shaken, but that every where else he falls —yesterday at Madrid, to-day at Athens ; and that there may be no possibility of deceiving oneself as to the disgrace of the Ministers who sympathise with M. Guizot, who are considered in their country as the allies of France, these Ministers do not cede to a movement of the Chamber, to the blow of a majo rity which strikes them. No—certainly the full and entire majority is for them. At Madrid the ad dress is voted almost unanimously ; two or three days afterwads the Sotomayor Ministry retires ; it would perhaps be more correct to say that it was kicked out. At Athens we have a repetition of the same scene. M. Coletti has the majority; it supports him, it votes, it manoeuvres to the wishes of his policy; a bad sign, it announced his ruin. In truth, one cannot explain to oneself how Ministers, at least in Greece and Spain, give themselves so much trouble to influence the elections; the elections give them the majority—that is true—the majority gives victory —that is true too; but victory brings them death! Whence comes their fall? It must have a source somewhere. We must seek it in the in cessant war which the English Cabinet wages against M. Guizot. At Madrid influence is obtained over the mind of the young Isabella—she is brought into a quar rel with her mother—and her mother having taken her departure, all that have ties with France are set aside. At Athens a misunderstanding is excited between the Turkish Ambassador and the Coletti Ministry; and after having created this embarrassment, M. Coletti is overthrown by having presented to him a line of vessels which dictate his sentence. To hide this last check, M. Guizot may tell the Chambers, if questioned, that in presence of the English guns, M. Coletti has fallen in a fashion quite extra-parliamentary." The National also comments on the affairs of Greece and Spain in a style as furiously rabid as that of the article from the same journal which we gave in our y es t er d ay ' s i mpress i on. " E vents, " says t h e National, " appear t o hurry precipitately on to over throw the F renc h system a b roa d ; th e y h ave b een preparing beforehand, and long since. PALMERSTON did not delay a single day, and his designs are being accomplished. Worsted at Athens, worsted at Madrid, we cannot even give an opinion in the case of Portugal. The English Ambassador treats on the matter with Spain, and he has received full power to use his fleet;if necessary, to bring about an arrange ment. There cannot now be a long interval between the moment when we write and the conclusion of the differences, which threatened the last for an indefinite period. The Junta and the QUEEN wilt come to an arrangement in the arms of England, who will stifle them both. At Madrid the Pacheco Ministy has signalised its accession to power by recalling M. OLOZAGA, who is to take his seat in the Cortes. There is some talk of nominating NAR VAEZ Ambassador at Paris, and ESPARTERO Governor of the Philippine Islands. Promotions, honours, and decorations will be restored to the generals and poli tical chiefs who were prosecuted with such severity by the reactionary party. We have established our influence on an oppression so completely odious, that all these acts of justice are greeted with transport as protests against the Afrancesado party. Re-peruse the articles of the Debats, read over the tnagniloquent speech of M. GUIZOT on the immense advantages of the Spanish marriage, look even to the Address of the Chamber, and to all the hymns of triumph on the con quest of the Peninsula, and what remains ? A dowry ! nothing but a dowry, and that a curtailed one ! And what has France gained ? what is her compen sation ? What does she become in the Mediter ranean? Attacked in Greece, in Portugal, in Spain, at Tunis, and at a later period perhaps even in Algeria, what pledges does she preserve ? what security has she achieved? To the work, great statesmen whom we accused of deceiving us as to the inevitable results of this dynastic enterprise, this is the moment to support your d o i ngs, to s h ow your resolution ! You are driven out everywhere, slighted, mocked ! Where are your faithful agents ? What is the illustrious ISTURITZ about to become ? And M. BRESSON, who procreates grandees of Spain, dares not even show his face at Madrid ! And CHRISTINA is on the point of flying to Rome ! You had for sooth drawn closer together the two nations, you had seized in your grasp the Peninsula, you had so dex terously jockied England ! What, was all that to last but four months ?" The National is right in one of its assumptions. The recent change in the Spanish Ministry, although not a victory for England, inasmuch as it was not brought about by any English influence, is a defeat for the French Government, and a defeat richly deserved, inasmuch as French influence in Spain has been established "on an oppression so completely odious" that every act of mere justice is a protest against the unjust ascendancy of the Afrancesado party. The Constitutionnel concludes a cuttinzly sarcastic article on the recent changes in Spain in the follow terms :—" It will be said that all this is the play of free institutions, or the effect of palace intrigues, and that to-morrow French influence may resume the ascendancy. Be it so ; but the marriage so lauded to the skies has not prevented these changes ; nay, we believe that it h as prec i p i tate d th em . It was cer tainly well worth while to isolate France , to place Eng land in oppo s iti on to us, to sacr ifice Pola n d, t o throw Greece and the East into grave perils, to turn Europe topsy-turvy, in order to witness the play of free in stitutions and the effect of palace intrigues amongst our neighbou rs o f Spain I" The Pre sse i s furious, an d o f course it attributes all sorts of d es i gns to Englan d ; but it comforts itself with the n o ti on that " t h ere is something in the Spanish character which will not agree with English materialism," and that therefore Spain must eventu ally become the victim of Franco -Neapolitan Ma- The Prin ce DE JOINVILLE arrived at Marseilles on the 2d. By the whale-ship L'Aigle, just arrived from the South Seas, copies of the commercial treaty concluded between M. PERRIER, the French Consul of the Sand wich Islands, and the KING of that country, have been received. It is comprised in seven articles, the essen tial provisions of which are—that all French subjects residing in the islands shall enjoy an equal protection of persons and property with the natives, and the same privileges as have been, or hall be granted to the most favoured nations ; that all Frenchmen ac cused of crimes shall be tried only by such a jury, whether native or foreigners, as shall be proposed or accepted by the French Consul ; that all protection shall be extended to such French ships as may be stranded on the islands, and that the amount of salvage shall be settled by arbitrators mutually chosen between the parties ; that all deserters from French ships shall be recaptured and delivered up ; that no French merchandise shall be prohibited or subject to a greater import duty than 5 per cent. ad valorem, except wine, brandy, and other spirituous liquors, upon which the Government of the islands may im pose such duty as it may think fit, provided it does not amount to an absolute prohibition.

The Cotton Market, at Liverpool, has been firm this week, and although it has received a check by the Bank of England measures, prices have ranged about A-d. per lb. higher. The sales of the week are 25,510 bales ; Stock, 492,570 bales, against 769,930 bales at this time last year. Shares werel heavy. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., was flat, and prices were again lower. The market generally for shares had a very dull aspect, and the fall in Consuls made them rather unsaleable, except at very reduced prices. The following are a few of the principal sales : East Indian £o 6 6 Great Western of Bengal 0 5 Taw Vale Extension and Duck . 2 5 0 Manchester and Southaewton 1 0 0 South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole North British Extension . Great Northern North Staffordshire Ambergate, Nottingham, & Boston, ex int 2 2 6 Eastern Counties, York Extension 4 5 0 Newport and Abergavenny 1 15 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 1 0 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate ... 4 16 0 Shropshire Union and Canal 0 12 Paris and Lyons 5 0 0 We have no arrivals today beyond those from the continental ports. The Bank of England weekly return, made up to the 3d instant, is important in respect both to the reduction of bullion and of unemployed notes, which the directors had drawn out of the banking department to increase their circulation and provide for the amount required to make advances upon the mass of bills offi•red to them. After the 17th inst. a great deal of money will probably be returned into the Bank coffers, owing to the bills under discount running out, Lind the Bank steadily decreasing its loans in the meantime. The following analysis de serves special attention:— Notes issued Decrease Notes unemployed Decrease Rest increase Public deposits decrease Other deposits increase Seven-day and other bills increase 125,654 Other securities increase Bullion Decrease 769,173 The funds have been fluctuating viol ntly again this morning, though at present they have rallied a little. Consols have been as low as 1-5-1,- for Tuesday, and even 854 for the Account day, but are now 86k. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 85i to 861. Bank Stock has fallen to 194. Exchequer- LANs are 3s. discount to par. One reason given for this further decline is the agreement said to have been made for the Bank of England to lend stock, which the jobbers expect to see thrown on the market by the borrowers. The Foreign Bonds are comparatively steady. Spanish Five per Cents., 24i, and the Three per Cents., 35-a ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 341 to 35. Railway Shares have all been drooping, and sales are rather more pressed. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) ASSAULT. Charles Hurley, cabman, aged 35, and Ann Hurley, his wife, aged 28, were found Guilty of committing a violent assault on Timothy Hurley, a relation, whom the male defendant dragged out (.f his bed late at night, and both violently assaulted him, the one with a poker and the other by blows. The COMMON SERGEANT said it was incumbent upon the Court, when it bore in mind that a great proportion of the charges which came before it were assaults of a violent nature, to make an example of the defendants, in order to show that those who gave way to the influence of violent passions must expect to be severely punished. The sentence of the Court was, that they be imprisoned in the House of Correction for twelve months. " THE GENTLEMAN IN BLACK."—An interesting looking young female, named Rebecca Smith, was in dicted for stealing a cash-box containing thirty- five sovereigns. eight half-crowns, and a cheque for 71. 103., from the shop of Mr. Grey, a linendraper, carrying on business at No. 36, Upper-street, Islington. Mr. WILDE stated the case to the jury. He said on Saturday, the 27th of March, the prisoner was observed outside the shop of the prosecutor, in the company of a gentleman " dressed in black." He was a tall, dark man, and wore a flowing Spanish cloak. They came into the shop together; and whilst the female was purchasing some flannel the " gentleman in black" abstracted the cash-box. Soon after they left the shop it was missed. Although the gentleman was particularly noticed, he feared that the prosecutor and those in his shop could not identify firm. The CODIMON SERGEANT inquired if Mr. Wilde thought that he could go to the jury on so vague a charge ? Mr. WILDE admitted that the case could rot be sus tained against the prisoner, but they could prove that she was seen in the company of the " gentleman in black," on the morning in question. Mr. Clarkson was on the other side. The COMMON SERGEANT—Oh ! I did not know that Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Perhaps the case had better proceed. Mr. CLARKSON trusted that the fact of his having been retained for the prisoner did not increase the suspicion against her.—(Laughter.) Mr. WILDE said he would not go to the jury. lle might state, however, that it was represented that the "gentleman in black" was a very dangerous person. The COMMON SERGEANT—I think all of us had better take care of him.—(Laughter.) The prisoner was then discharged. Mr. Grey said many persons could identify the female as having been in company of the "gentleman in black." The COMMON SERGEANT said the great fault in the case was that they could not identify the pentlernan in the cloak. It it could have been proved that they had gone into a number of shops together, and that a similar result had occurred, greater suspicion would have attached to her. The prisoner was then removed. THE COMMON SERGEANT AND SIR. PAYNE. Whilst Mr. Payne was addressing the jury on behalf of two persons charged with felony (the tacts of which were devoid of public interest), he was twice stopped, for a few moments each time, by a gentleman whose face bore marks of great anxiety. On the second interruption, The COMMON SERGEANT exclaimed—lf you interrupt the counsel in that way, sir, I shall commit you. Mr. PAYNE (evidently surprised)—He is a solicitor; the solicitor to a person whose trial has just commenced in the other court, for whom I am retained. The COMMON SERGEANT—It is most indecent to in terrupt a counsel whilst he is addressing the jury; it distracts the attention of the jury. Mr. PAYNE (with much emphasis)—l don't see that.— (Roars of laughter from the bar, and the persons in the body of the gallery, during which the Common Sergeant looked like a stoic.) The case itself has proceeded helter-skelter, now running at the witness ; now running at the solicitor, anxious for the safety of his client, and now at couwel. It is a long time since I said this with respect to the conduct of the Court, but I am obliged to say it now. A few minutes cannot be wasted if the ends of justice may be thereby promoted. The matter then dropped, and Mr. Payne having con cluded his address turned into the other Court. The prisoners William Wynne, aged 19, a farrier, and Julia Higgins, 18, unmarried, were found Guilty of knocking down Marshall Jones, a young man, one night in New Oxford-street, and stealing from his pocket one pencil and three keys, value 4s. They were sentenced to be transported for teu years. The female prisoner was carried from the dock, exclaiming, " Oh, my poor, dear mother—ten years! This comes of bad company." NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Messrs. Al dermen FARNcostnE and Cuhaxis.) ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS. —Two young men, of highly respectable appearance, named John Lawrence and Ernest Schultze, were charged, the former with robbing from the person of Miss Margaret Hammond the sum of one sovereign, and the latter with an attempted robbery from the person of Miss Julia Hammond. Mr. Doane attended for the prosecution; Mr. Dalian tine for the prisoner Lawrence, and Mr. Parry for Schultze. It appeared that on the let of April two young ladies (sisters) got into an omnibus at Hungerford-m ar k et, with the purpo se of proceeding to. Paddington, an d while inside, sea t e d b e tween the prisoners, it was al leged that one them lost the sovereign in question. The other sister, whose suspicion had been excited by the conduct of Schultze, observed the prisoner Lawrence withdraw his hand from her sister's dre ss an d place something in his left hand waistcoat pocket. Au alarm was given, and the prisoners w ere given i n t o custody, On the prisoner Lawrence being searched a sovereign and a half were found in the pocket to whi c h t h e young lady referred. Several silver coins were discovered in other pockets. Witnesses were examined in support of the pro secution. Mr. Ballantine having addressed the jury for Lawrence, and Mr. Parry for Schultze, The Learned J UDGE summe d up . The jury returned a v er di c t o f G u ilt y i n both eases. vi The conprisoners were well known, h aving been o vic. p re- Sentenced each to seven years' transportation. The remaining cases contained no feature of im portance. The marriage of Mr. Hussey Vivian with Miss Goddard, eldest daughter of N. Goddard, EF,q., of the Lawn, Swindon, is expected to take place in the course of the ensuing week. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AND SUPPOSED MURDER IN ST. PANcHAB . — Yesterday, Mr. G. I. Mills, the Deputy Coroner for West Middlesex, held an inquest at the British Q ueen, Sussex street, Tottenham court road, on the body of William Henry Cross, a shoemaker, residing in Little Pancras -street, who had died suddenly from the bursting of a blood -vessel of the lungs. After hearing some evidence of no importance, a verdict of "Natural death" was returned. .4(?% ,~-~~, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEW AIARKET CRAVEN MEETING. J3ETIING ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
