There is a manifest improvement in business generally, notwithstanding the late depression in the wheat and flour market. Money is easier and may be had to any extent on good security. Mer chandise is moving off, but, as yet, only slowly. But with the arrival of the drays from the interior, with wool, now a matterof daily occurrence, things will look up,' anti every one will feel it. Some articles are even getting scarce in our market. We might instance oilmen's stores, currants, and one or two other articles of equally general consumption.

CLERKENWELL.—CHARGE OF , ASSALTLT.—A re spectably-dressed young woman, who gave the name o f Mary Ronach, and who stated that die resided at No. 12, Glasshouse-street, Vauxhall, was chary(' with itsiaultipg John Sutton, who was described as a surgeon, residing at No. 10, Doswell-road, St. Dike's. ' Mr. Wakeling appeared for the procccution. - St will be remembered that " Dr. Sutton" was brought to this court on a warrant, and was remanded for a week, on the charge of attempting to' extort money by paibliSh lug a certain. letter, which had been sent to him in his medical capacity, by a Mr. HairisOn, b farmer, residing at Sleaford, in Lincolnshire. On that occasion Dr. Sutton stated that he resided at 15, Frederick-place, Goswell road, and waa.tlescribed in the newspaperi as "Dr. Sut ton, alias Dr. Sidney Hall, 'alias Dr.. fanning." The matter having, beettsompromised, ciaArgc was with ttrawn; snft Dr: Halr-wrdteltiters from 10, Goswell-roicl, St. Lnke'e, stating 'that he had no connection with Dr. Sutton. Oa' the present occasion it will be seen that " Dr. Sutton " gave the address that Dr. Hall wrote from, and from which the latter said that he did. not even know the former. Mr. Wakeling said that in this case the defendant had been 'nought to this court no less than three or four times for assaults on his client. On the present occasion she went to inquire after his child, which was dead. Defendant made some remarks. ' lifr7iVaielingLivenhere she cannot keep her temper. She struck him a very violent blow in the face, knocked him down, and bit his fingers. All that he wantod was that the defendant should fined raponsible bail to keep the peace. Ultimately the defendant was fined 108., and in default of payment two days' imprisonment.- MARLBOROI7GH-STREET.—CURIOUS DE ursioN.— Wm. _Ferguson, an Irishman, was charged with annoying Dr. Fergusson, of Park-street. Dr.•Fergusson stated that he had been continually an noyed by the prisoner for the last sixteen years, although the prisoner was a complete stranger to him. The prisoner was in the habit of coming to his house, accosting him in the street, and writing letters to him, ant judging from the defendant's appearance and his acts, he bad no doubt his mind was deranged, and that it only required a moment of irritation to occur to render him a dangerous per4on. The prisoner believed he was dogged by the police and the Guards in purple and fine linen, and he was always apply ing to him to get him a wife. Lord Clare was persecuted in the same way, and it would be sufficient evidence of the man's mind to show a letter in which be had proposed himself as a husband for Lord Clare's daughter. The prisoner hoped Dr. Fergusson would take a different view of his condition. He would faithfully promise, .if released, never to annoy the doctor aga'n. His business was with Lord Clare more particularly. Dr. Fergusson said the prisoner knew no more of Lord Clare_than of him. The prisoner was frrinerly my Irish constabulary, but having quarrelled with his chief and challenged him, he was dismissed. From that time he had been a constant nuisance both to himself and to Lord Clare. If a lady patient drove up to his house for advice the pri soner was sure to send him a letter begging him to use his good offices to get him the lady for a wife. Mr. Beadon asked if the prisoner ha I been in custody fur a similar offence before? Dr. Fergusson replied, repeatedly. Mr. Beadon thought it would be unsafe to allow the pri soner to go at liberty, and therefore •directed him to bo taken to the workhouse, where the state of his mind would bo properly ascertained. MARYLEBONE.—DISTRESSING CAS PI . —Mr. Brough ton handed to our reporter a communication made to him by a poor w'dow named Allsopp, whose five eoulha 1 been killed in battle while fighting in the service of their Queen and country.- The letter received by the worthy magis trate rau thus : - "9, Brown-street, Bryanston-square. " Worthy Sir,—Having experienced. your goodness to me through Mr. Franklin, your chief officer at the court, induces me to entreat your benevolence once again. The weather is much against my affliction (appliCant is suffer ing from a severe and perhaps incurableinternal complaint). Coals are very dear, and my reduced circumstances make me very poor indeed, not being able to do anything to ob tain a living. Most worthy Sir, lam afflicted by the high hand of God, whose purposes .are known only to himself. Would that the Lord would call me from a world of sor row and sin ;, indeed I hr.ve no wish to live. I did pray to see my poor sons return from the Orin - lea; blrt they are wafted into Peace, where all sorrows and troubles hive an end. I have no more sons for England or the Queen. I had throe at Cahn', in the Indies; they are dead; so are two who were in th e C r i mea . I have lost all ! lam now a poor destitute widow, the grand-daughter of a general, and the daughter of a captain, all slain for England's glory._ My husband was an officer, but be had to sell his commission to'pay his debts, which deprived him of a pea sion at his death. Since the death of my husband, and the loss of my poor children, I never received a shil ling from Government. Worthy sir, that is the thanks I received for bringing up five beautiful young men to bo slain. Indeed, Mr. Broughton, I received more relief at your hands than I have received of any, unless what little the workhouse allows me to pay for my lodgings. When the Duke of Wellington was alive he always gave me a little help, and so did Lord Fitzroy. I have bsen compelled to part with everything I had to obtain a little living, and am glad to get a coal or bread ticket, which is difficult to obtain. I hope, worthy sir, you will consider me, and God will bless you. " F. ALLSOPP. " To his Worship the Sitting Magistrate." Accompanying the above was a note from Col. Phipps, in reply to an application made by the widow to H.P. IL Prince Albert : - " Windsor Castle, March 26, 1856. "Lieut.-Colonel Phipps has received the commands of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to inform Mrs. Allsopp that the very numerous and pressing applications for pecu niary assistance must prevent compliance with her request. The enclosure contained in Mrs. Allsopp!s letter is herewith returned. The poor widow was, by direction of the magistrate, as sisted to the amount of 75., which Wai given to her to Mr. Franklin, the usher, on Saturday last, the day following that upon which her sad complaint by letter was received and made. Mr. Broughton considered that till case was one of a most distressing •kind, and he hoped that the bereaved mother of tho sons who had sacrificed their lives in war would ultimately, upon further inquiry in the prop or quar ter, be placed beyond the reaoh of want. SOUTHWARK'—A HARD CASE.—Two young women, of respectable appearance, who were described as ballet girls at one of the principal theatres of the metropolis, were charged with uttering a counterfeit half-sovereign to a linendraper in Newington-causeway. It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday evening the prisoners went into prosecutor's shop, and selected a silk dress. In payment they handed to the shopman what appeared to be a half-sovereign. The shopman went to the cashier, who examined it, and being soft, and of a whitish appearance, he placed it in a detector, when it bent like lead. The prisoners were at once detained, and given into the custody of s police constable, for uttering a counterfeit half-sovereign. It was s h own that the young women were respectable, and not known as common utterers of base coin ' • consequently the magistrate, with Lis usual discernment, discharged them on their own recoinisances to appeaz this day. After the young women had left the court on Wednesday, Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, ex amined the half-sovereign carefully, and had his suspicion that it was a genuine coin. He sent it to a goldsmith's in the vicinity of the court, where it was tested, and found to be genuine. The cause of its being so soft was in the coining, and the whiteness was no doubt the result of a chemical powder used by actors and others engaged at theatres ; and there was not the least doubt at all that the young girls, when they uttered it, believed it to be genuine. As soon as the linendraper ascertained that ho had made an error in mistaking the genuineness of the coin he com municated with the young women, and after apologising for locking them up like felons, presented them with a sovereign, which they took. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY COHPANY.—We aro informed that it is the intention of the directors of this company to recommend to the proprietors at their ensuing half-yearly meeting a dividend of 4i per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending 31st December, 1856.. _ _ - - [AnvaarszmexT.]—lt is with pleasure We notice the daily increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver com plaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica. We quote the follow ing : —Southwick Park, Fareham, Hants, Oct. 31, 1818.— Gentlemen, I sincerely thank you for your kind attention. When I began taking the Revalenta I was in as deplorable a condition as can well be imagined. I was confined to my bed, and so weak that I could neither stand nor walk, suffering severely from flatulency, constipation, and indigestion, and being compelled to have recourse to aperients every second or third day; and, upon one occasion, I swallowed no less than seven doses within twenty-eight hours, under medical advice. There was a giddiness in my head, and a singing in my right ear, that when I turned my head on the pillow it resembled the sound produced by a light touch on a musical glass. I had a pain and sort of fullness across the chest, a sore throat, and a slight cough ; but the pain around my loins was so great that I could not remain in the same position for ten minutes all night long. The principal seat of the pain seemed to be just below the ribs on my left side, and about three i nc hes from the backbone. I commenced taking Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica morning and evening, boiled in water and salt; and in less than a fortnight-my appetite was greatly improved, and flatulency and constipation so far vanished that I have not tasted a pill or drug- of any kind since. I am much stronger, can walk steadier, aid less like a drunken man, &e.—JonN VASS, Land-steward. - Supported by testimonial; from the celebrated Professors of Chemistry Dr. Andrew Ure ; Dr. Shorland ; Dr. Harvey ; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer ; Dr. Ingram ; Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castle. stuart ; Major-Gen.

The demand for gold is on the increase, and the competi'ion among the bankers is keeping up the price at the gold fields, so that the supply in town is not-equal to the demand. The price is from 765. 3d. to 78s. according t) quality, and from the ex change having been altered to one p.m. Our Ade hide neighbours are using every effort to establish a trade to our gold fields by the Murray, and have shown somO spirit in doing so, particularly at the Ovens. Having brought up goods by . Twater, they are anxious to make returns,to Adelaide in gold and black sand, through the same channel, but a - diffi culty has arisen -regarding a port on the Murray fur exporting g .Id, the gold export duty act naming only seaboard. ports.

From Mclvor we hear that the quartz claims are producing a fair return, and that there his been a rush to a new field near Sin-tier's Sta— tion, the sining beink, only about nine feet, and the gold plentiful.

The diggings are paying as well - as usual to par ties who attend to their work, and have not allowed themselves to be influenced by the mania (I can call it by no better name) that now so generally pervades the miners. A rumour gets into circula tion, and rumours aro very easily set afloat by in terested persons—no inquiry is made as to their truth—they pass current—the natural effect of which is to make men restless and unsettled—di vert them from their work—and encourage the more fanciful one of castle-building in the air, the foundations of which they generally find to be ra ther ephemeral. Many of these structures have al ready tottered, and the projectors returned to their old work of digging at this place, not finding castle building at all a paying concern in the long run. In my last I mentioned to you what my conviction was of the extent of this gold field, and strange it is that where these are so manydiggers as there are here at present, so very few of them appear to be at all conversant with the locality, except in the im mediate vicinity of where they are at work. It assuredly, in the long run, appear that the most valuable part of the Rocky River gold field has not thus far been tried, or, if tried, a sufficient chance has not been afforded it of developing its resources. The establishment of branch banks, both at Ar midale and this place, has had the effect of render ing the price of gold more stationary than hereto fere ; 725. may be quoted as the present price, with abundance of buyers, and abundance of money. The licenses issued for the present month exceed 2000—the gross population exceeding 3,500 ; but there is every prospect of a considerable addition being made within the next two months, as there is every reason to believe that the straggling parties now employed in the neighbourhood of - Armidale, Oban, Mount Mitchell, &c., will have returned to. these diggings before the expiration of the time men tioned above. Not but they might do very well in the localities where they are at present at work, provided they bad but sufficient means and perse verance—neither of these do they generally appear to possess, the effect of which is to disseminwe an unfavourable report, where parties with capital and perseverance would have been handsomely re warded. Time will prove that my view of the Rocky River gold field is correct, and that the fur ther it is extended the brighter will the prospects become. Provisions are very abundant. Beef, wholesale, 24d. per lb., 3id. per joint ; vegetables in abun dance. Although beef and mutton are at present scarce in Armidale, we are most abundantly sup. plied, thanks to competition. . - In' reference to the claim of Messrs. Buchanan and Clyde, it has turned out rather fortunate for them that they were prohibited working it, as among the various shafts that have been sunk on the disputed territory, none have paid. How fre quently circumstances when they occur that are deemed misfortunes ultimately turn out real bene fitS. Such has been the case with Messrs. Buchanan and Clyde's claim. Should the Grafton line to Armidale be rendered passable, and a trifling expense would effect it, it will in a gr ea t measure do away with the Maitla nd traffic to Armidale and the Rocky River. l o i Maitland trad ers oug ht t o have, come forward and subscribed lib era lly for the purpose the road betw een Armidale andM Maitland. in business they ha ve been doing for some time. this district would fully warrant most liberal i o t f lan u r The subscription on their parts ; and if once diverted to the Grafton line, if the trade be it will be a difli cult matter to get it bac k again. Still lam of opinion that were one-half of the teams laid on the Grafton line that now t ravel b y that of Mait land, in less than six months the Grafton line wo u ld b e qu ite impassable. —Maitland Mercury. FIVEredMBURIED IN A TIINNEL:—We have b een a mercantilefirm with th e f o ll ow i ng ex t r act of a favoured letter, dated Oct. 30 :—" I have t o f MEN inform you of a most melancholy affair which hap pened here yesterday evening. Five men are buried in the bowels of the earth, and there was very little hopes of finding their bodies when I was on the ground at 7 o'clock this morning. The par ticulars, as far as I could learn, are as follows : They area party of Scotchmen, working in a place called Sydney Flat, in continuation of Mount Jones ; their shaft is 60 feet at the bottom. Into this shaft tunnels are driven in different directions, some say 200 feet in length. At 2 p.m. yesterday these five men went into the shaft to work • one of the party, the sixth, remained on the top.

The Frontier Times has the following :—" A correspondent writes from Fort Bes.ufort, under date the 9th inst.:— "I regret to state that our farmers are in a rather gloomy mood, fearing that they wilt not be allowed to reap their present splendid crops, as all accounts from Caffreland agre3 as to the most wan, ton destruction of food by the Caffres. From the _ _ ,statement of a person yr - ho has been a resident /amono• the Tambookies and Kro li's people it ap pears that this state of things arises more from the arbitrary will of the chiefs than from the free incli nation of the people. Still there is abundance of corn from the last year's crops among the Tam bookies. During this person's stay he came int, famillir conversation with a great many of the rebel Hottentots, many of whom expressed a wil lingnes3 to enter English service.' "I..setters received by the last mail from the feral tier;" the same paper says, ‘'Sta,e that Sandilli s people have now com menced ploughing. It is right, however, that we should mention that a letter front a wel-inforinrd quarter says substantially that Kreli has succeeded i turning the minds of his people to war, and that the authorities in British Caffraiia havebeen a little duped by the artifice of the Caffres, inasmuch as they have given to these people a good deal of seed corn to sow, while, instead of being sown, it has been saved for food."

Th, keel of the new frigate, Mersey, 40, was laid down at Chirtham yesterday, and the v:siel will be - built at the large new slip recently con structed at the end of the do Aryarci.

A general court-martial will assemble at Forton Barrach to-day for the trial of Henry Jobson gunner of the Artillery Companies of the Royal Marines, for striking Colonel Parke on the occasion of being taken up for punishment on another charge, as we have already reported. On Friday last an interesting experiment was made on board the Waterlog,l2o guns, flagship, Capt. Lord F. Kerr, to test the capability of Mr. Clifford's apparatus for lowering boats from a ship's stern. A sternboat of the flagship having been fitted (under the personal directions of Mr. Clif ford) with his plan for lowering was during the day repeatedly tested. The great height from the water afforded an admirable opportunity of proving the capabilities of the plan. The boat was manned by 10 men, and lowered several times with ease and rapidity—on one occasion in 10 seconds—by one only of the crew fcom the boat. The trials wera made in the presence of Capt. Lord F. Kerr and Commander R. D. Aldrich, of the Waterloo, and Capt. J. Wilcox, in command of the Hawke, 69 guns, screw steamship, and several other naval officers, and were pronounced highly satisfactory. The Diamond, 27, Capt. C. Hamilton, arrived at the Great Nore yesterday, and saluted the flag of the commander-in-chief, which was returned by the flagship Waterloo, at 11 45 a.m. Capt. Lord F. Kerr, in command of the flagship, afterwards proceeded out to her in the Wildfire for the pur pose of inspecting the ship, officers, and crew. The Diamond will come into harbour today to be paid off.

The long continued stay of the Swedish Admiral vi rg i n in Copenht!gen, as Minister Extraordinary from Sweden, is interpreted by the Aftonb/adet (Stockholm paper) to have forits object to procure the consent of Denmark to an alteration ih the London Protocol of 1852, which settled the suc cession to the Danish throne. This alone, as the Aftonbladet affirms, can ward off the danger of a Russian supremacy over the States of the Baltic. j LAW INTELLIGENCE. -._F e b. 9. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. LING V. CROKER-THE CRIM. CON. CASE. At the sitting of the Court, Mr. F. I. Smith, on behalf of the plaintiff, applied that the letters which had been produced by the defendant's counsel should be impounded ; but the Chief Justice said the application had better be made to Mr. Justice Willes, in his private room. Subse quently, his lordship said that ho had consulted Mr. Jus tice Willes, and the, letters must remain in the hands of the Associate, to await an application that might be made on additional watorials. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) _ CRISP V. SIR R. GILL. This was an action, brought by the plaintiff, for slander, the defence was, the words uttered were true: • - Mr. Slado and Mr. Sanders appearedfor the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin James and Dar. Powell for the defence. The plaintiff was a butcher, at Bath, and the defendant, while on a visit to that town on the 16th of July, 1356, bought some meat at the plaintiff's shop, amongst which was a piece of neck of mutton, for which the defendant paid, amounting to 18s. 91d. The meat purchased was wrapped np in a clean cloth, and carried to his own car riage in his presence. Some days after th e d e f en d an t ca ll e d an w d ' i ts n i t , `he presence of swami cuts ' I meant t o h ave been a t a o t m th or e s p , lmaiandteiffu'sseshop, the orof customer to your shop again: had you not taken upon your self to change my meat; you:extracted the lamb I bought and put in a piece of mutton which I could note est.". The defendant was told by the plaintiff's wife he had bought mutton and not lamb, upon which he vralked -out of the shop. The plaintiff met the defendant and csonuelaiated of the manner in which he had endeavoured to rak2 away his character, when the defendant used the gross aspres eion, "D— you and your character as well," and it turned out that he had followed the defendant to the public li brary ant abused him, saying, "If he called himself a gentleman he was ashamed of it," During the trial some observations were made by the learned counsel with regard to duelling. He said when a man is insulted a duel would take place. - The Lord Chief Baron said ho believed those days were gone by, and it was an honour to the country it was so. Mr. Slade said in former times a man who refused to apologise for his impertinence was soundly horsewhipped„ Mr. Edwin James addressed the jary'for the defendant, urging that the defendant was justified in the course he had pursued. The publication of the slander complained of Lad been done by the plaintiff himself by his abasing him in the public library. The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, said if the defend ant used the words complained of bona fide, the defendant was entitled to a verdict; on the other hand, if he ha I acted maliciously, the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. The jury having retired, after an absence of three quar ters of an hour, returned a verdict for the defendant, expressing a wish that each party ought to pay his own costs. The learned judge said the jury had nothing to do with costs. Verdict for defendant, The other cases disposed of during the day presented no Feature of real public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 9. MANSION-HOUSE. ALLEGED DIPROFER INTER FERENCE OF THE POLICE.—A gentleman whose name did not transpire, complained to Mr, Alderman Wilson (who sat for the Lord Mayor), of the interference of the p olice in what he consith red to be an unjustifiable manner. He stated that on Satur ! a y ev en i ng , being on ,eLween his to a the dinner party, he stopped in the ()poispat© o space Royal Exchange and Excha t ge-buildings, for the purpose of having his boots c leaned, as there were several boys with their brushes standing there. J us t as ono of his boots was finished, however, a policeman came up, who compelled all the boys to move off, notwithstanding his remonstrances ; and although one of the boys offered to cleanse the other boot if complainant would go with him down a neighbour ing court, the policeman would not allow him to do so, and complainant consequently was compelled to go away with one boot clean and one ditty, which made him look perfectly ridiculous. There was, he conceived, no grounds for the policeman's interferen ce , as the boys were stationed on an open space where they offered no obstruction to public traffic. Alderman Wilson—Certainly not. Whore is the in spector ? Why was this boy sent away ? Inspector Scott—The boys belonging to the schools are allowed to stand there till four o'clock. Out of these other boys some turn out to bo thieves occasionally, and so we do not allow them to stand: Alderman Wilson—That is just what they and I corn plain of. These boys try to earn an honest penny, but you will not allow them to do so, and compel them to become thieves. Ido not see why they should not be allowed to clean boots in the streets as well as the Brigade boys; and at all events, they might be allowed after six o'clock, when did not; ler when I c om pl a i ne d , the Brigade boys are gone aw a y. (T o comp l ainant)—Did yo c u e t m ak p e ia t i h n e aatN policeman's e, Id he told me I had better come here, as he was only carry ing out his instructions. Alderman Wilson—There have been no such orders is sued from this Court, and even if a boy has just come out of Holloway, that is no reason why he should not be al lowed to get his bread honestly in this way, and I think it is exceedingly improper to prevent them. Has there been a case of this kind before ? Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)--No; this is the first case of the kind. Alderman Wilson—Well, I should like to see the police man, to tell him that when a boy is getting an honest liv ing, without obstructing any public thoroughfare, it is very hard that he should be interfered with; and in this case the matter is made worse, because it seems he actually compelled a gentleman to go to a dinner party with one boot cleaned and one dirty. Inspector Scott—But these boys often get together in groups of five or six, and then when a gentleman stops to have his boots cleaned they sometimes pick his pocket of his handkerchief. Alderman Wilson—That is tt e gentleman's look-out. Inspector Scott—l don't say that this boy was a thief, but some of them are. Alderman Wilson—Well, that is no reason why you should punish those who are not. I am quite certain the Lord Mayor has not issued such orders to the police, and , aft e r the if the Police Commissioner has done so I should lik e you to tell him what I have said. Theinspector complainant Scottsaid then h e w w o i u t l h d d certainly rew d° thankings alderman for his courtesy. fifteenn am ed months GeorgeG eorge employed Edward Selby, who BOW-STREET.—POST-OFFICE ROBBERY,—A boy of as sho , pboy by Mr. Palmer, bookseller, and Post -offic e reee i v i n ___ g house keeper, Lamb's Conduit-street, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with stealing a registered letter contain habaodubtern y fo e r ara th o e f a la g s e t , ing a half sovereign and 4s. in silver. It appeared that on Saturday, at one o'clock, a parcel of letters from Mr. Palmer's r eceiving-house reached. the Ge neral Post-office in the ordinary - c o urse, and with a letter bill in the ordinary form ; . but in this letter-bill there ap peared an entry of one registered letter, which was not to be found in the bundle. Another letter, not registered, but apparently containing money, was wrapped in the bill. Mr. Cole, inspector of l ette r - carriers, was instructed to inquire into the matter, and found that the missincY letter had been made up and registered by M rs. Palmer, who was ve ry positive that it was safely wrapp e d up i n the bill, and placed in the bund l e, whic h lay on the post-shelf till the collector called for it. She had teen assisted to make up the bundle by the prisoner. Mr. Cole, suspecting that a child of 12 years of age was not unlikely t o yi e ld to such a temptation, went in search of the prisoner, whom he found at his father's house. The boy at first denied, but, on being_ pressed, acknowledged that he had stolen the letter. He bad been desired byMrs. P. to clear the box and face up . the letters— i . e., place theniwith the face or super saription upwards. He did so, counted them, and told Mrs. P. the number- 13 .
