He also said that a book had been taken from his house. Mr. Abram, nnot ier superintendent, was present, and asked Murphy if he was secretary to the club, to which he answered " Yes." Took him to the Main Bridewell, on the way to which, Murphy said that he was only secretary to the Sarsfield Club ; and that he had been to Ireland the day before.

The general opinion is that the weather on Saturday and Sunday was so comparatively fine and mild, that street prowlers and disorderly persons were astir, and " made their game" to the .best advantage. Be this as it may, we do not remember so great a number of elms of felony and of assault, accompanied by grievous bodily harm, to have been brought before the court on any one day within the last ten years. There were no fewer than 191 prisoners to begin with, and a few added during yes terday, made the amount nearly 200. This is almost an alarming amount of crime, and some of the offenc s were, we regret to say, of an aggravated character,—addressing themselves for investigation . not only to the quarter ses sions, but, in some instances. in cases of savage and nearly deadly assault, to the decision of the judges now on the circuit. In consequence of the assizes having yesterday commenced at the Court-house, Chapel-street, Mr. Rushton, our police magistrate, was constrained to hold his sitting in the old police-court, High-street (the Court of Requests), and the day being almost sultry for the season, the air within its precincts was oppressive and unwholesome, the room being at the best confined and badly ventilated. The following is a condensed report of the principal cases only,—for the space required for our report of the assizes precludes us from noticing the ILLEGAL DISTRAINT.—TWO youths, John Delap and James Johnson, were charged with having, on Sunday afternoon, feloniously broken into a house, No. 1, Sheriff street, they having broken the chain of the outer door after it was opened by a party . within. A Mr. Edward t ord had given an order to some parties to distrain for rent, but the name of one of the prisoners was ❑ot included in the warrant. The case resolved itself into a matter of trespass, and the parties, after a strong caution from Mr. Rushton as to their future conduct, were diFcharged HOUSE lIREAKIN( —James Walsh and Peter Ledger were ith having, on Saturday evening, broken into th house No. IS, Kew-street, inhabited by Mrs. Aladdocl complainant (Mrs. MO said she had gone in tt John's Market, where she had doors and windows secure before going. On her return, at night, she found that the kitchen shutter had been burst oven, and a quantity of wearing apparel and other articles, in cluding china, had been removed, or displaced, to the value of -20. She had left a bottle of whisky on a table, which the Prisoners had drunk off; und they were detected in the house before they could escape, being at the time intoxicated. There were found wi - h them a hammer, chisels, by means of which they had effected an entrance, and removed two layers of bricks in a wall. 'Utley old police-officer of Chest. fought one of the prisoners for ,nr before he could secure him FROM A " pumhe A youth, named Terence M'Fariane, was charged with having stolen, on Saturday night, ja cket, with a nawnbroker's shop in Bridgewater-street, a pea with which he was detected by a police-officer. He was coin witted for trial. ROBBERY IN MILL-STREET in the employ of Mr. Pick An errand boy. who had been teth-park, was charg.d with hiwing stolen from his employer two watch-guards, two victorines, and other property, which he took to plelge on the Bth instant. Prisoner was caught in a court in the same street after he had committed the depreda tion. He was committed for trial at the sessions. THEFT OF SOAP.—A young man, named Dennis Ford, was charged with having stolen a box of soap from a parcel of 1,0)0 boxes which had been sent to the west side of the Saltbouse Dock, for shipment to Batavia. The box weighed 16 lbs., and was stated to be worth 6s. The case was proved against the prisoner, and he was committed for trial. He was detected through the vigilance of a watchman in the employ of Messrs. Aikin end Co.. Gorse.

The sovereignty of the empire of Austria has at length lecome too weighty a matter to be wielded by old or with Young Germany, and a youth of eighteen is ex pected to overcome the difficulties which his uncle was unable to struggle through, and his father would not attempt ; the Pope has this time run away for certain ; and although, up to the time of writing, we do not know how the French presidential election has gone on, we fear that the antagonism of parties must have led to some „ week. It is probable that th e l a t e Emperor of Austria may be allowed to retire from public administration in neace ; but the ultimate destination of the Pope is some what doubtful : the Neapolitan dominions may prove too warm to be comfortable ; and as the probability of his taking refuge with Mr. Moore O'Ferrall has already been hinted at, it will require only one step further, and we may see his Holiness comfortably lodged in London— ler the that spacious Ho s tel des InOalides Royales—uni shelter of her Britannic Majesty's protection : he must leave the pontificate behind him of course. The arrival of intelligence in London of these eventful continental movements produced a slight decline in the English funds on Friday, but before the close of the day they recovered previous quotations. In connexion with the sales which took place on that day on account of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it was understood that the Government broker xould have disposed of a larger amount of Consols at 871 had that price been obtainable; and complaints were very business, iy expressed z in taking advantage from time to time of any temporary firmness in the market, and suffering a mystery to be made of the amount vet remaining, and of the periods and proportions in which it is likely to be disposed of.

WEST RIDING ELECTION.-NOMINATION YESTERDAY. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) WAKEFIELD, MONDAY ArrEnicoox. The nomination of candidates for the West Riding took place this morning, at 11 o'clock. The Under-Sheriff came to the hustings. the High Sheriff being engaged at York Assizes ; and after the usual preliminaries, Sir Cul ling Eardley was proposed by James Harrison, Esq., and seconded by Francis Carbutt, Esq. An apology was made for the absence of Sir Calling Eardley, by his proposer, on the ground of serious illness. Mr. Carbutt entered into an expla- nation of the circumstances attending. the introduction of Sir Culling Fordley to the electors of the West Riding, and cen sured the landed gentry for their absence from the hustings. He characterised Sir Culling as a sincerely religious man, and defended him from the charges of bigotry or alienship. He also entered at some length into an explanation of Sir Culling's opinions on the ballot, extension of the suffrage, retrenchment in public expense. and on the subject of any further religious endowment; and concluded, amidst much cheering from the [less to am- sa•ra • swer any question on behalf of the absent candidate. The Hon. E. Lascellcs then pronosed Mr. Edmund Beckett Denison, which was seconded by John Rand, Esq. Mr. Rand , in the course of a vigorous and energetic seech, strongly con demned the proceedings of certain persons in Leeds, who had assumed to themselves the right to dictate to the electors of the West-Riding. He strenuously urged the claims of Mr . Denison, both on the ground of his sound constitutional poli tics, and his valuable services to the Riding when he before represented it. Mr. _Sairr..lel Kydd was pro •osed by Mr. Isaac Ironside, and 'eat]to the Court _ . containing the remarks of Doctor Reynolds and Mr. Somers.

He was received with loud cheer ing from the friends of Sir Culling, and cries of " No more Leagues!" from the opposition party. Mr. Bright, after ex uressing his regret at the absence of Sir Culling, proceeded to read an address from him, which commenced by defending the writer from certain charges made against him during the pro gress of his cmwass, and then went on to state his views on some of the more prominent topics of the day. He expressed himself favourable to the ballot, triennial parliaments. modifi- cation of the property qualification, extension or rue reduction in the expenditure, abotition of church-rates and the • r•tl, 1,11 ;mint. Alr. Bright vainly tried to continue his remarks to the meeting, amidst loud cheers from his friends and great uproar from the supporters of Mr. Denison. Ultimately the Under Sheriff declared that, on the preceitent of the last election, Mr. Bright was entitled to speak ; and, after considerable delay, lie proceeded. Mr. Denison was the next speaker, and was received with mingled cheers and uproar, so that his speech was scarcely !fluid he understood, he explained his views on the subjects 'ree trade, national education, and the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood; and expressed his bell present contest was a struggle between church and represent the West-(tiding, and iYedged himself never to give a vote which wouhl endanger the constitution in church or Mr. Kydd, the Chartist, next spoke at considerable time, on the usual topics, and at the close of his address, the Under- Sheriff proceeded to take a show of hands, which he declared to be in favour of Sir Culling Eardley. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Denison, and after a vote of thanks to thio Under-Sheriff, the assembly broke up.

The principal features of Mr. Gran tham's plan we have already explained ; but we may here briefly recapitulate them, as given more in detail to the meeting. It is proposed that the stage shall consist of a long iron ship, nearly flat bottomed, of about the same height as the present small landing stage, and four hun- seen fee 'or mooring the boats. Or the stage may consist of two boats, say Of 300 feet each in length, the one with a higher deck, adapted to the level of the decks of the large steamers, and connected with the ferry stage by an inclined gang way. These will be approached by a bridge of a lighter construction than those at the great landing stage, which aced in a ransverse direction he pier to the mick terially he ferry stage, thus decreasing very ma- _ the gradient.

You admit that when gold exported money is hoarded ; can money be hoarded with out causing a panic? can a panic ensue without causing a far greater loss to the community than the cost of the 1 ? The whole matter in dispute will be set ,rrect answer to these questions. Although there is little room for further comment on the question under discussion, we don't think it out of prepared I Pi— to make a few remarks on other parts of you We agree with you that " hoarding is a common effect consequent upon scarcity and uncertainty ;" but is not the scarcity of money under the gold standard caused by its exportation as a commodity ? We think that money ought never to be scarce, but always obtainable upon se curity at a steady rate of interest. We see no reason why the exchange of commodities should be stopped, or trade paralysed for want of the instrument of exchange. You say— " In times of scarcity, whatever article represented the en gagements of the country, even if it was only inconvertible hank-notes, would be boarded as gold or notes representing it— because :sways exchangeable —are at this time." We can understand that the inconvertible notes would be hoarded if they were likely to become scarce; but how a scarcity of food would lead to such hoarding we aro at a loss to comprehend. It were as reasonable to suppose that a scarcity of cotton would lead to the hoarding of tea. We cannot agree with you that " If one man lends another man £lOO now, he knows what lie has to receive at the expiration of the period of credit." lie certainly knows the weight of gold the law entitles him to receive, but neither " the creditor" nor the " debtor" can foretell what the " value" or purchasing power of that gold will be at the maturity of the contract, such value depending on the quantity of bullion that may then chance to be in the Bank of England. We beg to correct an error into which you have fallen, when you assume that we are favourable to an inconverti ble paper.

Witness was also present on ttie to a meeting on the North Shore, Hopper, Somers, and Dr. Reynolds were there. /vI'L:-. , an. the chairman, spoke first, afterwards Jones spoke and Dr. Reynolds followed. The witness read Dr. Reynolds' speech, which was of a levelling character, and denunciatory of Lord John Rus sell's government. the police, the law and its officers in general, and in which the speaker gloried in the defeat of the English troops in India, and -called upon the people to form clubs, and to arm and organize themselves, as they were doing in Ireland, where they did not intend to character fighting for it, and concluded by stating that he bad been as seditious as he could, and defied the Government to touch him. Witrtess read next a speech by Hopper, one of the prisoners, denouncing the conduct of Government towards John Mitchell, and calling upon the meeting to draw the sword. A speech by Somers, accusing the authorities of packing Mitchell's jury, and abusing the editor of the Journal follcwed.

The witness also deposed to the proceedings of a meeting in Circus-street, on the 22nd of June, at which Hopper and others were present, when violent insurrectionary speeches were delivered, and to those of another meeting on the 7th July, in Great Howard-street. This witness said that he followed M'Manus to Ireland, and gave information at the Castle. Cross-examined by Mr. PoLtocx as to his proficiency in reporting, and how many speeches be reported in a night. Witness stated that ;le was not examined on any of the cases before the magistrates; was present on Cud dy's case: but was not examined_ Ilk dennsition. ciunpfl by Mr. Rushton, was handed up to him ; when he ex plained that the depositions were drawn up in the clerk's office, and sworn before Mr. Rushton, but that he was never examined in the Court. A difference was noticed by Mr. Roebuck between the evidence given by witness as to the procedings on the 6th June and that stoed in his depositions, which he accounted for by saying that he tly I spoke then from memory, the magistrate's clerk having Mathew Willock. policeman, gave evidence of the pro ceedings at the meeting in Circus street, which was very similar to that of the preceding witness, and also deposed to the proceedings at some other meetings. Cross-examined by Mr. Pottocx, as t o hi s p r . c ti c e and mode of reporting. Witness explained that his depositions were taken down in the magistrates' clerks'-room. _ _ His LORDSHIP interfered to prevent any inquiry which might tend to throw blame on the mode of conducting the mnisterial business in Liverpool. Mr. PoLLoctc explained that his object was only to show that the prisoners might be damaged by their not having an opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses.. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed that some of the witnesses had been cross-examined.

This week had been announced the last of the season of this celebrated company's performances in Liverpool, but we find that M. Deject!' is enabled to prolong his stay during the first three days of next week, his London en gagement admitting of this arrangement. Two more morning performances will also take place —one on Friday next, and the last on the following Wednesday ; and the evening performance of that day will be the last opportu nity the public will have of witnessing the abundant amusements which this very extensive troupe affords to them. During the past week the attendance at the Amphi theatre has been good, and many novelties have been introduced ; indeed, such are the resources of this excel lent company of artistes, that, often as we have attended the performances, we have alwriys found something new to interest us. Madame Briloff is a bold equestrian. The " Two Grotesques," by MM. Montero and Braquet, displays the pliability of which the human form is capable. " The Jockey," a comic scene, by MM. Newsome, Nief, and Siegriest, affords endless amusement and laughter; and "The Yorkshire Horse-dealer," by Newsome, brings out the equestrian powers of this clever equestrian to perfection. Ti,e " Musketeers' Quadrille," by the male and female equestrians of the troupe, is an extraordinary performance. The horses dance the figures of the quadrille in excellent time to the music, and proving that M. Franconi can teach a four-footed animal to dance as well as our dancing roasters can the biped race. The " Festival of Plowers" are evolutions per formed by the horses, and exhibit the most accomplished training, and the skill of the ri hers. Madlle. Caroline continues to delight with her extraordinary riding and management of her horse. This lady is so celebrated at Paris, and her fame so great on the Continent, that a Russian lady of distinction made a journey from St. Petersburgh to the French capital on purpose to witness her surprising skill. Mrs. Clarke is a bold equestrian, and possesses what the French term aplomb to perfection. Her performance is spirited, but wants that extreme of elegance and finish which is so remarkable in the foreign artistes. Madlle. E. Lambert received a fall during the week, but nothing more than will deprive us of witnessing her elegant acts for a few days. We are also sorry to hear that M. Ducos, a member of the troope, died at Bologne a few days since, after four months' illness. Ho felt by his friends. Madlle. Ducos was announced to perform last Friday and Satuoday, but on account of this event Madlle. P. Annati supplied her place. We would recommend to those who are desirous of witnessing the performances not to lose the short period now afforded to them. Yesterday morning the body of a man, named Dennis Ford, was picked up in the Victoria Dock. The deceased was a working man, and some little property was found upon him. MR. RYALLS' CONCERT.-Mr. Ryalls, one of our most eminent vocalists, will give a grand concert this evening, at which some of the most established favourites will be present. Mr. George Holden will conduct. Our musical friends will have a rich treat. Mn. DUNN AGAIN.—At the Southwark Police-court, on Saturday, Mr. Dunn, the barrister who has so often been before the public as the admirer of Miss Burdett Coutts, was brought up, the term of his imprisonment having expired. He tendered bail for his future good conduct. On the magistrate declining to accept the par ties brought forward, Mr. Dunn waxed very wrath, and contended that great injustice had been done him, and he would take care not to come to that court again.. THE FLUTE.—On Friday evening Mr. Carte, the emi nent flute-player, from London, delivered at the Colle giate Institution the first of two lectures on the flute, its construction and capabilities. His object was chiefly to explain and illustrate the improvements recently introdu ced by the celebrated Boehm. He gave a most interest ing sketch of the history of the instrument. He executes the most rapid passages with a facility truly astonishing, while into the pathetic parts he infuses a tone of the most exquisite feeling. Brilliancy of execution is not more peculiarly his forte than depth and tenderness of expression, All his pieces were greatly admired ; but in the variations to Rule Britannia" he perfectly electri fied his auditory by the masterly manner in which he sus tained both the first and second parts at the same time. Unfortunately, his stay in town terminates with his lecture, this evening, the programme of wLich will be found in our adverti,ing columns, so that a great portion of the Liverpool public will necessarily be deprived of the singular musical treat which they would otherwise have enjoyed. he d niAetlier by ant said he lodge on sone I in the same h'ouse ‘i'ith the prisoner, and ay night Boner attacked him, got Min down , tot him over time eye, and finally, seizing a table knife.

The com plainant said that he cried out at the time, "Oh mercy, do not kill me!" The com:ilainant showed his tongue, which was of a horrible purple, or bloody, and swollen appearance.

The state of siege, it is said, will be raised on the 10th, and the King will enter Berlin to reside. The funds have risen in consequence of the royal decree. THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO, AND PIRACY IN THE STRAITS.—The government have determined to employ Sir Charles Napier's squadron in settling with the Em peror of Morocco with respect to the late piratical capture and plunder of the British vessel the Three Sisters, on the coast of Barbary, instead of the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, in the Medi terranean ; Sir Charles Napier has received his instruc tions from the Admiralty to proceed immediately with the force under his command. THE LATE LORD GEORGE BENTINCK.—A full-length portrait of this lamented nobleman, the only one for whic".l he ever sat., is now on view at Mr. Grundy's, in Church-street. It bears a most striking resemblance to his lordship. The head has all the high and chivalric and that air of animation and intelligence the late nob'e lord. The charact exhibited at Mansfield. and the tender reminiscences of one old man were so refreshed by his sight of the speaking canvas, that he shed a flood of tears. In the week bef•rre last, one house in Liverpool is said to have received from Irelsnd not less than £9,000, in separate sums of £1 each, as head money for so many separate fami lies emierating to America.

All the small farmers are becoming paupers and burdens on the land ; and all the large ones are becoming " Levanters," a , , in fashionable parlance, fraudulent runaways are styled. portrait was lately COLLEGIATE INSTITUTIO: from a circular recently issued, that a strong effort is being made by the directors of this institution to obtain funds, in order to li quidate a balance of £5,100, which is still due to Mr. Shaw for the land on which the building is erected. It appears that fifty gentlemen, the warm supporters of the institution, have already had to pay £l6O each for the contractor, beyond - the sum raised by donations, and these parties ought certainly not to be called upon to con tribute further. Several gentlemen have nobly come fur ward to raise the required amount, amongst whom are T. Littledale, Esq., £lOO, W. Gregson, Esq., £lOO, Rev. A. Campbell, £5O. Considering the benefits which the institution has conferred, and by God's favour we hope will continue to confer, upon the community, by providing the middling and working classes with the means of ob taining a cheap education of the highest quality, and in the pnrest principles of religion and morals, we trust that many of our townsmen will, in such an emergency, do their utmost to relieve the directors from so serious a re sponsibility. Gossip FROM THE TowN-HALL—Our contemporary of the Albion yesterday gave under this head a very erro neous account, as we have been assured by several parties who were present, of an occurrence which took place at the Mayor's table on Tuesday evening.

Dr. Raffles who was present. No allu sionwas made "directly or indirectly by Dr. M`Neile to his_ section of the Church," or to any subject which could by p, ility give offence to any churchtnan or dis ingdotn. The proprietor of the Mail re- plied on the same evening to the toast of "The Press, and we shall not say anything further with reference to his address, than to assert confidently that not one word of allusion to Dr. M`Neile was heard to fall from his lips ; and that therefore the story of the rev. gentleman being " annoyed at so strange an attack and quitting the room" is sheer invention. The rev. gentleman only re tired with the rest of the company. We may add that, the whole party congratulated each other at the termina tion of the entertainment on having passed an unusually delightful and harmonious evening. As so much has been said on the su bj ec t, pe r h a ps M r .

The defendants were found at the Prince of Wales hotel, Le;cester-street, and several valuable jewels found in the room, belonging to Lams Puilippe, and which were deposited in the Palace de Neuilly, and valued at £lO,OOO.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. — The time is now passed by the order of events, if not by the maturity of the revolution, and the French people have pro.. ceeded to the consummation of their great experiment. Sunday witnessed the commencement of the election for the Presidency of the French Republic, and the poll closed throughout the country last night. But, from the immense number of the votes, dispersed over the whole territory of the republic, several days must elapse before the final result can be known, and the returns from Corsica and Algiers will probably not be received before the 25th instant.
