We have received our files and despatches from India and China, in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The dates are, from Calcutta, March 22 ; Bombay, April 2; and China, March 15. INDIA, We extract the following intelligence from the summary of the Bombay Times, of April 2nd :—The opening of the hot weather is a period of the year proverbial for its bar renness of intelliget,ce. The Santhal insurrection is not only completely quieted, but the malcontents, lately spread ing terror through the districts, are quietly, and of their own free will, earning their bread as railway labourers, improving the country they lately ravaged. Oude con tinues as tranquil and orderly as any of the oldest provinces of the empire, and the erganisation for the new a ;ministration of affairs is all but completed. The late King has got as far as Cawnpore, on his way, it is said, to England, without the most remote chance of securing one atom of public sympathy. The a !Ration in parliament against annexation, is received with ridicule and contempt in India, for of the hundreds of petitions prepared annually at each of the presidencies, we have ninety-nine against the tyranny of native princes for one against the misconduct of the British government, and no occasion is ever let slip, by educated natives, of proclaiming the vast superiority of English to indigenous rule. Our Punjaub mountain frontier continues infested with robbers and murderers, but there has been no outburst of the mountainers in force for many months past, and on the whole we have throughout the year been enjoy ing as much tranquillity as could perhaps under the circumstances be looked for. The alarm that our new acquisitions in Burmah would prove a burden on the empire has been dispelled by the publication of the balance sheet of Pegu. In the third year of our possession, with a defective population, and its resources undeveloped, we find an expenditure of .L 170,000 a year, and an income of £230,000; or if we deduct extraordinary expenditure, and accept only net receipts, we have a balance in favour of £lO,OOO a year. The revenue during the past year has risen by a quarter of a million sterling, while the expen diture has hat little advanced, and already the province, which it was feared might prove ruinous, yields a contri bution of £lOO,OOO a year to the general resources of the State, or nearly ten per cent, on the gross charges of the war. Rangoon has been visited by one of those unintelligible panics which seem occasionally to inflict all native communities: A rumour was spread abroad that a number of Malays were in the town securing human victims for slaughter. No man would stir out after nightfall, or permit his children to move out of his sight. Prome has been utterly destroyed by fire. It broke out about noon on the 25th of February, and in less than four hours consumed the entire town. Over a space of some 300,000 square yards nothing but ruins are to be seen. The place contained few brick houses, and will be readily re-built, but the loss of property must be very great. The principal sufferers are of course the merchants. As in the fire at Rangoon, the Burmese lent no assistance in putting out the flames. Everything continues uncertain in reference to the occupation of Herat, and the state of matters in Affghanis • tan. The treaties of 1854, which have been published, show that we are in no way bound to assist Post Mahomed unless in so far as it meets our conveniency. The most profound tranquillity continues to reign throughout British India. Our railway operations are proceeding rapidly. The Madras railway is expected to be opened for traffic to Arcot, a distance of seventy miles, in the month of July. The Governor-general and Governors local are at the seats of government. Lord Elphinstone is not intending to leave Bombay till towards the eud of the month, and then for a new lull station, called Matherdu, which is coming a good deal into vogue. Sir H. Somerset leaves for Mahableshwur after the arrival of the next steamer. Since the termina tion of the native holidays, a fortnight since,- trade has worn an improved appearance. Exchange on England has declined. Our money market has not improved during the fort night, and all descriptions of securities are dull of sale. Little business has been done in imports, and prices gene rally have not yet advanced. Freights are firm. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE THE CALCUTTA MARKET. (From the Calcutta Englishman, of March 22.) . _ Our produce market is rather in a languid state, shippers not feeling safe to operate at present prices, and the dealers being unwilling to reduce, as they can mostly afford to hold, and know that by firmness, as ships must be loaded, they have a chance of getting their demands conceded. Indigo is in most active demand at the full value under late home quotations. Sugar is being freely taken both for Great Britain and Australia. Silk, also, is wanted for ship ment, and corahs aro enquired for. Seeds are still being taken for America. Rice is not being shipped so freely. Wheat neglected. In hides a good business doing, In jute low freights have tempted purchases. Most of the minor articles are quiet, except castor oil, which is again receiving attention. The Government opium sale of the 10th instant realised nearly 35 lacs to the Treasury, or an increase on the February sale of 2,2 , 5,775 r. This increase was mainly owing to the usual gambling operations in this market, arising out of an opinion generally current, that there would be a short supply of Patna for the ensuing year. We have been somewhat surprised during the last few days at perceiving, among our exports, the prohibited article of saltpetre being cleared for France in French vessels. Some heavy arrivals have rather fl rttened our piece goods market, but as stocks are far from heavy, and the markets above in an equally sound position, unless sales be forced, we see no reason to anticipate any reduction in prices. Twist, though rather dull at the moment, is also in a healthy position ; stocks have rather been increased latterly, but are still far from being heavy. Metals continue very (lull. The Money market has experienced no change, nor can we hope for any, until the Bank of Bengal is in a better position, and can afford to lower its rates of interest and discount, but which we do not look for until the close of the Burmah rice season, when the drain of specie for that quarter will cease. EXCHANGE : The rates for this mail are below the average, and may be quoted at 2,21- to N for credit, and 2.28 to for document bills at six months' sight. FREIGHTS : For some days the heavy arrivals created a sort of panic in the market, and any ship, requiring to fill up in a given time, had to arrange to do so on very low terms, jute being taken at £2. This, however, soon rallied the shippers, and rates revived a little, but buQiness is still rather dull. BOMBAY MARKET, FROM THE 19TH MARCH TO IST APRIL. Our money market during the fortnight has shown no symptoms of improvement. IMPORTS : Although during the past fortnight there has been an active demand for grey goods, transactions have not been extensive, as prices have not advanced sufficiently to induce holders to give way. _ _ EXPORTS : Cotton Wool—Prices have improved since the arrival of last mail, and new supplies from the districts are now coming forward freely. EXCHANGE : Tho mail steamer having brought 30 lacs in silver, buyers got frightened, and best bills were done as low as 2s lid ; after a few days the demand slackened and local credits went at 2s 2d to 21d, and documents at 2s 2id to 23 2-id, and the rate at this date has an advancing tendency. Court's bills on Bengal are rupees 93Z. 60 day's sight on China, rupees 218. 30 day's sight on Madras, rupees 99. Freights are firm, and we now quote 44 is 6,1 per ton for cotton, and for oil seeds £4 15s per ton. CHINA We have received the Overland Friend of China of the 15th of I‘llrch. It contains no additional news to what has already appeared in the telegraphic despatch. The fire at Hong Kong took place on the 2ard of Feb. Eighty houses were destroyed, the value estimated at 100,000 dols. Seven persons lost their lives. We take the following from the Overland Friend of China:— " The currency change at Shaneme seems to be beset with unexpected difficulties. The Chinese bankers have refused to take Mexican dollars, or to give money-orders for them. The Taoutae is trying to accommodate this difficulty, but it is very doubtful if he will succeed. It is asserted that only one foreign firm tried to keep the books in Mexican dollars, and that that one had to give it up. "'We are sorry to have to report that the arm of Nye, Brothers, and CO., of Canton, has been compelled to stop payment. Their liabilities are, wg hear, very heavy—it is said as much as 1,500,000 dole. Of the means they have of meeting those liabilities, we are not as yet in a position to give any authentic information." THE RUPERT-STREET ASSASSINATION.—SUPPOSED Dis- COVERT OF THE BJDY OF THE ASSASSIN.—In the course of Sunday, information was received at the chief police office, Scotland-yard, that the body of Foschini, the Italian, had been discovered, in the River Thames. Notice of the circumstance was at once sent to Vine-street, to the inspec tor, who has th 3 case in hand, and the latter proceeded with some persons who were well acquainted with Foschini to the place where the body had been conveyed. They there found the body of a man agreeing in every particular with the description given of Foschini, the clothes being identical with those worn by him on the night of the terrible occurrence, and the thin beard and moustaches corresponding. The only difficulty that arose was the identification of the features, the head having swollen to nearly double the natural size. Upon enquiring on Sunday evening at Charing-cross Hospital, information was obtained that ROuelli and two of his unferfunate companions were still in a dangerous condition, the former continually spitting blood. Rossi, however, had sufficiently recovered to be enabled to leave the institution' on the previous day. They all maintain great taciturnity as to the cause which led to the horrible affair. _ ---• MARRIAGE IN HIG H • LlPE.—Lasly Panmure, widow of William, late Lord Panmure, who died in 1852, was married on Saturday last to Mr. Power, one of the Queen's foreign service messengers. The marriage, which Was solemnised at Fulham church, was quite private. Her ladyship and Mr. Power left town shortly after the ceremony for Paris for a few weeks. THE ROBBERY OF MR. POWELL IN THE MANCHESTER EXCHANGE. This day week we published a report of the arrest of two swell-mobsmen, named Smith and M'Donnell. Thy details will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, and it will be remembered that Smith was committed for trial. The prisoner M'Donnell, a native of London, stood re manded to yesterday, as it was supposed he was connected with the robbery of about £BOO belonging to Mr. Powell, merchant, of this town, which took place some time ago at the Corn Exchange, Manchester. When the prisoner was brought up yesterday, Carlyle, the detective, who had the prisoner in custody, stated that a youth from Manchester had seen M'Donnell amongst several persons in the dock, and he said he believed he was the person who stood near the desk on Mr. Powell's stand in Man chester on the day of the robbery. Mr. Campbell, for the prisoner, objected to this evi dence. The officer said on Thursday last he took the prisoner to Manchester, where he was identified by four gentle men as the person who was seen at Mr. Powell's stand, and about the Corn Exchange the day the money was stolen. Mr. Campbell : Are they here ? Witness : No ; the inspector of the detectives of Manchester is in London, and I wish a remand, as we may be able to trace the notes. Mr. Powell was examined, but could not tell anything about the prisoner, except what he had heard from other persons. Mr. Campbell objected to this, as not being evidence against the prisoner. In reply to Mr. Alderman Holme, Mr. Clough said there was more than a probability that he should obtain further evidence, and he would, therefore, ask for a rem and again. Carlyle said the prisoner was described as wearing bluish spectacles at Manchester ; and on searching his trousers, at Clement's Hotel, Islington, he fount a pair of glasses that answered the description. The Alderman said the case was a serious one, and he would again remand the prisoner for seven days. RESIGNATION OF THE LOCAL MARINE. BOARD We reiret to find that the differences between the Board of Trade and our Local Marine Board have not been adjusted. His Worship, the Mayor, we perceive, has received a notice for a new election in place of Messrs. J. Aikin, Thomas Brocklebank, J. P. Palmer, James Beazley, Joseph Mendel, W. J. Tomlinson, S. R. Graves, and William Mann, who have resigned. The two first mentioned of these gentlemen were absolutely nominated by the Board of Trade, the other six being elected by the resident shipowners. The only mem bers who have not sent in their resignatiows are, Mr. Charles MaclV l er, who has not transacted business with his colleagues for many months past, owing to his absence from England, and Mr. John Lockett. Why this latter gentleman remains at his post, ready to obey the behests of the Board of Trade officials, we cannot divine. The primary cause of the resignation of the above-mentioned gentlemen is to be found in the fact that, in direct opposition to the spirit and text of the Mercantile Marine Act, the Board of Trade assumed powers which, by the act, are vested solely in the Local Boards, namely, the right to fix the salaries of their servants. All that the act of parliament gives the Board of Trade in this respect is " their sanction" to the appointment and salaries, not the appoint ments and fixing of the salaries. We have here another proof of the grasping desire shown by the Board of Trade to monopolise all public appointments, and to carry out to the utmost the principle of centralisation. How can a board in London know anything of the merits or demerits of the many officers connected with the Local Marine Board here ? Indeed, we have heard it stated, that by the scale of salaries sent down here for adoption by the local board, they actually increased one clerk's salary, that clerk being at the very moment under notice of dismissal for inefficiency. Surely such men as James Aiken, one of our most respected magistrates, and one of the most excellent and philahthropic of men ; Thomas Brocklebank, the largest shipowner in Liverpool, or perhaps iu the world, should blow and could be better trusted to fix the salaries of tha clerks acting under their own eye, than either Mr. Farrer, or Captain Walker, of the Board of Trade, sitting in London. k But no; the system of patronage, now so prevalent, must flourish, and, as we stated in our last impression, in allusion to the Liverpool and Birkenhead Dock Bill, " We have over and over again called the attention of our readers to this alarming and steadily progressing evil. But still our townsmen slumber. Now is the time to discover whether Liverpool possesses men equal to the emergency in which she is placed ; whether she is going to reform her own abuses, or to permit her revenues and her power to be passed over to some paid officer whose presence will only tend to hasten her decay." In conclusion, we may state that the local board send up to London about £3,000 a year, entirely collected here, over and above all their expenditure; and, seeing this, and looking to the high position of the gentlemen above named who have resigned, we scarcely think any respectable shipowner will be found willing to succeed those who have refused to hold offices, in fulfilling the unpaid duties of which, they were treated by government officials as if they were mere clerks upon £7O or £3O a year. [The above is quoted from the Albion of yesterday, and it .is our intention, in a day or two, to notice the present differ ences between the Local Marine Board and the Board of Trade more at length, when we hope to show the necessity which exists for instant and unanimous action on the part of our shipowners to maintain their right to manage their own affairs. In the meantime, we feel assured that a vigorous effort will be made to sustain the members of the local board in the digni fied position which they have assumed, and thus effectually frustrate the restrictions attempted to be forced upon them by the Board of Trade, and so preserve the vital principle of self government.—ED. N. T.] COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY (BEFORE JOSEPH POLLOCK, ESQ., FUDGE SCOTCHER V. TURTON.—This was an action brought by a servant girl named Sarah Scotcher, to recover damages for injuries done to her by being thrown down and run over by d fendant's horse. Mr. Grocott appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hime for the defence. It appeared that the plaintiff, who had been in the employme-A of a Mrs, Dodson, was sent out by her mistress on the evening of Saturday, the 16th March, to buy some stair-roils in 111i11- street. When returning home, she had got ti the corner of Northumberland-street, when she proceeded to cross to the opposite side. She did not observe any horse coming up, but when she had got about half way across, she was all at once knocked down by the horse which defendant was riding, and rendered insensible. Some parties came to her assistance, and she was taken to the dispensary, and after wards was under the care of a surgeon. She was cut on the head, on the legs, and different parts of the body. Her mistress discharged her the next day, saying that she was not capable of doing an) work. She, accordingly, brought an action to recover damages for the expenses to which she had been put, and the loss of her employment. A wltness, named John Rimmer, was called, who deposed that he lifted the girl up.after she had been thrown down. He stated that he saw the defendant coming up pretty quickly, when about twenty yards off. He could not say what pre vented the plaintiff from seeing defendant coming up.

LITERA.RYAND PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY The usual periodical meeting of this society was held last evening, at the Royalanstitute, allquitt-street. In the absen3e of the president, Mr. T. C. Archer took the chair. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last meeting, which were adopted, The Chairman announced that the natural history section of the society had held a meeting on that evening, when it had been agreed that the annual excursion should take place about the first week in June, and that they were going . to Oulton Park, the seat of Sir William Egerton, and view his collections, and they had every r eason t o a nticipate a very delightful day. He concluded, by express ing a hope that those gentlemen who intended accompanying th e m, would send their names to the secretary, or himself, at as early a period as possible. The Secretary stated that should it be decided to go by Beeston, the castle there would be a very interesting and attractive object, which gentlemen could stay and inspect if not desirous of going further. Sir J. Salisbury was unanimously elected a member of the society. some interesting literary and philosophical intelligence having been communicated to the society, Mr. J. C. Redish proceeded with the paper of the evening, on " Tennyson's Maud." A vote of thanks to the reader of the paper concluded the business of the evening. MISS E11131,k STANI.EY.—The debut of this lady, last night, at Clayton-hall, in her lyric entertaniment, " The Seven Ages of Woman," completely realised all our-antici pations. The demand upon our space to-day precludes the possibility of a recapitulation of the varied characters assumed in the course of the performance by Miss Stanley, and to cull gems from so many inimicable portraitures would almost be an unworthy task. The diversity cannot fail to present individualities which will each in turn find different admirers, and thus, in the language of the vocal preface, " Though they follow in haste, Yet each one is suited to somebody's taste." In short, the whole entertainment is unique. The smart and pregnant style of the librates, (so to speak), the effective rendering of the songs both characteristic and a la John Parry, the wonderous celerity with which the change of costume is accomplished, and the perfection with which the many various personages introduced to the audience are embodied, and, above:all, the lady-like taste which, from first to, last, distinguishes the fair artiste, con bane to rank the entertainment among those of the highest class, and to develope the possession of histrionic talent of the first order, and most complete finish. Two hours cannot be more agreeably or satisfac torily spent, than in witnessing Miss Emma Stanley, in the " Seven Ages of Woman.

The arrivals of about 40,000 brls yesterday and to-day, simultaneously with the accounts to the 29th ult. per Cambria, at Halifax, has caused a further fall of 25c to 50c per brl, making a total decline of 50c to 75c per brl since the 7th inst—the great est depreciation being upon the lower qualities. We have made some alterations in our quotations, the present in spection being unreliable for foreign orders.

ASHES : Pot have been in good request, at the recent advance. _COAL : Sales have been made of 75 tons best Liverpool orrel, and two cargoes Pictou afloat (one before arrival), on terms we did not learn. Orrel is held at 8 dols, four months. COPPER : New sheathing sells in suits at 32 cents, and English and American yellow metal 26c, 6 months. Ingot Copper is quiet. Old is firm ; 6,000 to 7,000 lb. sold at 263 c to 27-Ic, cash. Hors are only in moderate demand ; whole parcels of first sort can be bought for 8c to 9c, and cboica sells in a small way at 10c. IRON : The market remains inactive. Scotch pig is irregular; some sales have been made at lower rates, and prices have a downward tendency. It may be quoted 35 dols to 35 dols 50c. MOLASSES : The market is not active, but good qualities are wanted by the trade, and prices are supported, these being in moderate supply. NAVAL &roans: Turpentine is not enquired for to any extent, and though the stock is small, the market is dull, and nearly nominal at 3 dole 12/c to 3 dole 25c per 280 lb. Common Rosin has continued in favour, and further ad vanced 21 cents : our highest figures being refused yesterday for large size brls, Wilmington, &C. The stock is much reduced, and the tendency of freights, is to strengthen holders. Tar is held more firmly, and the few sales made, have been at slightly improved prices, though the demand is light. PEovisioNs : With an increased demand for pork, in part for export, and only a moderate supply on sale, prices of mess have advanced 50 cents, while other descriptions remained unchanged, but firm ; sales 3,000 brls, closing at 15 dols 621 c for prime, 16 dole Blic to 16 dole 87/c for mess, 16 dole 25c to 16 dole 50c for thin mess, and 17 dole for prime mess, including 500 mess, deliverable in all April and May, 15 dols 75c ; 480 uninspected do, to arrive soon, 16 dole 50c ; and 500 prime mess yesterday, on the spot, at the quotation. Beef arrives freely, and, with a heavy stock, and only a limited demand, the market has again declined about 25 cents ; sales, 1,02:5 brls, closing at 8 dols to 8 dole 371 c for country prime, 8 dole 75c to 10 dols for do. mess, 12 dols to 13 dols for Vermont mess, 10 dole 50c to 13 dole for repacke'l Western, and 13 dols 50c to 14 dols for extra do. Prime mess beef continues dull, and prices favour the purchaser; in the absence of sales, however, quotations are nominal. Beef hams are also inactive ; 150 brls inferior Western sold at 13 dols to 13 dots 50e. Cut meats are more plenty. and priceshave declined ; sales 875 pkgs at 7c to 71,c for shoulders, and 81c to 9c for hams. The export demand for bacon having abated, the market has been dull, and is scarcely so firm; small sales at 81e to 91c for middles. Lard remains steady, with a fair demand ; sales 11,600 brls at 10c to 101 c for fair to prime. Butter is lower and dull at 15c to 17c for Ohio, and lBc to 24c for common to good state. Cheese has also declined to 5c to 10c as in quality. gALT : The recent receipts of Liverpool and Mediter ranean have supplied the market temporarily, and dealers buy sparingly, expecting a more favourable currency. _ _ SUGAR: There has continued a steady good demand for home use and for Canada, and the market is buoyant at gradually hardening prices, though perhaps no particular advance can be said to have been established. TIN : The market for pig, with favourable advices from Holland, stating an advance there, is firmer. TOBACCO is without change. _ FREIGHTS continue dull, and with an increasing supply of tonnage, lower rates have been accepted in nearly all directions. The Deal trade between the British Provinces and Great Britain has now fairly commenced, the first two charters of the season (at this port) having been made since our last, which indicates that the opening rates are not so high as in Boston. There are a good many orders in the market for vessels varying from 200 tons up to the highest registers, but it is difficult to execute them at present, the rates at which they are limited, being in most instances below the views of shipowners. To Liverpool, the engagements include 4000 brls Flour, at Is 3d to is 6d, closing at the inside rate ; 20,000 bushels Grain, 4id in bulk, and sd, in ship's bags ; 2000 boxes Bacon, 255; 1500 brls Rosin, 2s 3d to 2s 6 d ; 3500 bales Cotton, closing at d ; 210 tons Logwood, 25s ; 150 do Fustic, 15 s ; 10 casks Ashes, 255; and 200 brls Oil, 27s 6d.

The transactions in general have been at the fol lowing rate, say—Bills on London 91 to 91 per cent prem. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE NEW YORK.

BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT -Yesterday, Messrs. Shaw and Bryans presided in this court, when Ann Moore was charged by officer Hodson with having, as far back as Sep tember o l e a r s t t y , s o to f le mr na. Sacker. rty The c prisoner arpeting was s h s ea a r t t t h en r d u i g n s g , upon Mrs. Sacker at the time, subsequet tly, however, the property was found pledged at a pawn shop in Liverpool. The prisoner was committed to take her trial. CORONERS INQUEST.—,-On Saturday the coroner held an inquest on the body of an unfortunate girl, named Mary Thompson, who resided in a house of bad repute in Hirst street. It was at first suspected that foul play had been used in the case, but on a searching enquiry it appeared that she died from conjestion of the lungs, brought on, no doubt, by excessive drinking, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. The house where the deceased lodged was curiously constructed, and from an inspection made by Mr, Blake, the intelligent beadle of the coroners' court, he found that there were facilities provided where persons could be robbed, or even worse, if the inmates chose, and from the information be gave the coroner, as to thes ted eceon struction of the place, that gentleman and the jury i inspected the premises, and the coroner ordered the matter to be reported to the inspector of nuisance, and we have been informed that the place is 4ow in the hands of the proper officer, who will take the necessary steps to do away with this sink of iniquity. POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (BEFORE MR. ALDERMAN HOLME.) THE AFFAIR AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.--Thomas and Anne French, who were remanded on Saturday, were again brought up. The facts of the case ai...eared in yesterday's paper. Mr. Bluck for the prisoners contended that as the police had not produced any further evidence, his clients were entitled to their discharge. The Allerm .n said he held docu ments, with information, from the detective office in Manches ter, from which there could be no doubt whatever that the prisoners had been going about under different names, and that they were connected with a gang of people who got their living by dishonest means. It would have been better for the public, and the prisoners themselves, that they had not come to visit Liverpool. There could be no doubt about the present case, and he would therefore commit them for three months each. The female prisoner screamed violently, and was carried out in hysterics. STREET 11`;BBERY.- A young fellow named Marti❑ Churchhill, was charged with having assaulted and robbed John McArdell, in Standish Street. On Saturday night the prosecutor was going to his home in the above street, when he w is stoppd by the prisoner and some women, who robbed him of some money, the prisoner also assaulting him. The women got off. The prisoner was not known to the police, and he was 'dealt with under the summary act,'and sent to gaol for ono month with hard labour. Alice Robinson was committed for two months for stealing some checks from the shop of Mr. Riley, Scotland Road. ROBBERY CF BRASS, &c.—James . Barlow and Brice Jones, having the appearance of mechanics, were brought up by detectives Scaife and Thompson on the following charge. The officers said the premises of Mr. Southerby, of Galton street, had been broken into on Saturday night, and a consi derable quantity of property—brass, copper, and lead—stolen therefrom. They (the officers) were on the look our, and, at an early hour in the morning, saw the prisoners driving a gingerbeer cart up to the foundry of Mr. Sarsfield, Salthouse lane. They guessed that there was something wrong, and they waited for a short time ; at last they went into the premises, where they found, in possession of the prisoners, one hundred weight and twenty-six pounds of brass, and one hundred and three quarters of copper, besides some lead. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoners, and was about to enter on their defence, when the officers asked for a remand in order to make fur,her enquiry, and the prisoners were remanded accordingly. (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD MAD FROM DRINK.—A person of respectable exterior, whose name was given as Thomas Hawthorn, who resides in Prussia street, was brought up on a charge of having committed assaults on a young Welshman named Hughes, and also on police constable 576. Mr. Pemberton appeared for the prisoner, and when the case was called on he addressed his worship and said, he might perhaps save the court some time and trouble, by stating that his client was not aware of what he had done on Saturday, and that it would in a considerable degree mitigate the punishment for the his worship to know that the prisoner had been dragged out of bed in his ow❑ house on Saturday night, and locked up in the station ever since. He was sorry for anything that had happened, but he had no recollection whatever of the transaction. He might have been summoned by the police if he had done anything wrong, as they knew his house. He (ifr. P.) regretted to say that his client was mad from drink, and ho hoped all the facts would be considered, and the prisoner discharged. Mr. Mansfield said he must hear the charge. The constable (576) was then sworn and stated, that soon after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, he saw the prisoner, in Prussia-street, knock down a man, without any provocation. Ho immediately went after the prisoner to get his name, when he entered his house. The witness knocked at the door (for he did not know at the time that it was the prisoner's house), in order to ask who he was, and, in doing so, the prisoner opened the door, and gave him a kick right in the mouth, which split both his lips, and knocked him down. He then ran in and shut the door. Witness obtained assistance and took the prisoner out of bed into custody. Mr. Pemberton complained of the conduct of the police towards his client. Mr. Ride, one of the chief superintendants of police, said an officer was justified in following a man whom he saw assaulting another. A Welshman, named Hughes, who was examined through Mr. Thomas, one of the court ushers, as an interpreter, stated that he lodged in a house in Prussia-street, and went to open the door for the owner, who was coming in on Saturday night, and the moment he opened the door the prisoner knocked him down, and lie became senseless. This was cor roborated by a servant girl of the house. Mr. Pemberton again addressed the bench for the prisoner, and his worship fined the prisoner £5, or, in default of payment, two months' imprison• ment. ABANDONING CHILDREN.—A juvenile looking female, named Mary Chester, was put forward on a charge of having abandoned her three children, but particularly the youngest, who is only fourteen months old. The prisoner was well dressed, and had no appearance of either poverty or hunger. It appeared that from information which the police had received they went to a cellar in Chisenba'e-street, where they found the children, particularly the youngest, in a wretched state, and nearly dead with starvation. The prisoner was drunk at the time. The children were removed, and taken care of at the workhouse. From the evidence of Surgeon Brown, of the Northern Dispensary, it seemed the young child was very far gone, from the effects of starvation, when discovered by the police, but with care it was getting better. The prisoner made a rambling unintelligible statement, and his worship ordered h •r to he remanded for seven days. INDECENT ASSAULT.—Richard Stoyne was charged with having committed an assault on a young woman, named Rebeeca Humphries. The complainant said she resided in Vauxhall-road as servant. She had seen the prisoner once before Saturday, but had no acquaintance with him. On that day he entered the kitchen where she was, put out a young girl who was there, fastened the door, and made an assault on her. She screamed loudly, and some persons coming to her aid, broke in the door, and rescued her, and then handed the prisoner over to the police. He was sent to jail for two months, with hard labour. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON AN OLD WOMAN.—A powerful man, named Robert Hudson Jones, who resides at No. 18, Great Richmond -street, was charged with the following serious offence :—lt appeared from a statement made by Mr. Ride, one of the chief divisional superintendants of police, and the evidence given to support'it, that, on Saturday evening, the prisoner went to his lodging, where also resided an old woman, ❑amed Isabella Brew, who is a cousin of the prisoner. It seemed that the fellow without any apparent cause or provoca tion, beat and kicked the poor old woman in a frightful manner, leaving her for dead. The police were not informed of the transaction until Sunday, when Mr. Ride went to the house, and took down a statement made by tae old woman, as to the assault. Ile then procured medical aid, but the poor old woman got worse, and yesterday morning a magistrate attended to take her declaration, but it was found that she had sank so much that she was not able to make any statement, and the doctor expected her death at every moment. The prisoner was remanded. POSITION OF THE MINISTRY. STATE OF PARTIES-DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT. Orders have been issued, both by the ministerial and by the opposition leaders, to clear the decks for action. The object of the Derby ite assembly is twofold—to make arrangements for divesting the vote on Mr. Whiteside's motion of a party complexion, in the first place ; and, in the second, to deliberate on the party tactics to be adopted for the remainder of the parliamentary cam paign. As for the meeting of Lord Palmerston's sup porters, the number of incidental defeats which the government have sustained in parliament, had rendered it indispensable that he should, once for all, come to an understanding with the liberal party; indeed, the wonder is that he has been so long taking this step. It is clear that the conservative opposition are disposed to persist in this guerilla warfare, which, without exposing them selves to any serious danger, may ultimately wear out their adversaries by exhaustion. To us a dissolution, and that at a very early period, appears inevitable. It is not to be imagined that Lord Palmerston will throw up the game without first resorting to this step.—Daily News. The Times does not treat the subject with much warmth. It is glad that the fall of Kars is to be dis cussed ; but considers that, although it may have fallen, through causes not inevitable, guilt or incompetency cannot fairly be brought against the home government. The Post also thinks that the mishaps of the Asiatic campaign ought not to be saddled on the administration. The Advertiser, which is usually quick to point out ministerial perils, says this morning, that on the present occasion, from the uncertain state of things on either side of the House, it cannot state with any degree of .onfidence the result of last night's debate, but will de pend on what will take place to-day. THE CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION. A blue book of more than three hundred pages has been presented to both Houses of Parliament, relati ve to the so-called Central American question. It consists of 189 despatches, but the whole q uest ion is very ably resumed in Lord Clarendon's not e, in reply to a state ment drawn up by Mr. Uuchanan , giving the views of the United States government. ALARMING OUTBREAK IN SYRIA. TRIESTE, Sunday.—We learn from Beyroat, under date of the 14th, that the whole of the Naplona country is in a state of insurrection, in consequence of the reported murder of a Turkish mendicant by an English missionary. The foreign consulates had been pillaged. The Prussian consul killed. THE TOWN DUES. —The Select Committee of the House of Commons met again yesterday,, and a report of the proceedings and of the evidence taken, will be found in another portion of our present impression. At its rising, .he committee adpurued to Thursday. „ THE PEACE REJOICINGS IN THE METROPOLIS At three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a meeting was held of the lessees and managers of the London theatres, to take into consideration the position in which the various metropolitan theatres would be placed, with reference to the general rejoicings, and , public entertain ments, which will take place, it is expected, on the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday, in the month of May next. There were present Mr. Benjamin Webster, of the Adelphi ; Mr. Buckstone, of the Haymarket ; Mr. Cooke, of Astley's ; Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick, of the Surrey ; Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee, of the City of London ; Mr. Towers, of the Victoria ; Mr. Con quest, of the Grecian ; Mr. Payne, of the Strand ; Mr. Lane, of the Brit ann i a; Mr. 'James, of the Queen's ; Mr. A. Wigan, of the Olympic ; and Mr. E. T. Smith, of Drury-lane. In the course of a very animated and earnest conver sation which took place on the subject, it was suggested and coincided in by all the gentlemen present, that the great attraction of the fireworks in the parks would cause the assemblage of a vast concourse of persons in them, possibly more than had ever before congregated, and would entirely draw away the audiences from the various theatres, no matter what attractions were offered. If nothing were done by the government on the subject, it was stated to be the intention of the lessees present, representing the whole of the London theatres, except the Princess's, to close their establishments on the evening in question. This they regarded as a necessary, though very objectionable and disrespectful, step to take---bjectionable, for it would deprive some 4000 or 5000 persons, who depended upon the theatres entirely for support, of employment; and disrespectful, inasmuch as being the celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the lessees were anxious to present extra attractions to their audiences on that account, and to take part in the illuminations and general rejoicings. It was stated the remedy for this would be found in government throwing open the various theatres gratuitously to the public on that evening, as was done in Paris on a recent occasion. By a judicious distribution of tickets, as on former occasions, 30,000 to 40,000 persons, at the least, would be drawn away from the out-of-door masses. Perform ances, accompanied with music of an appropriate character, could easily be selected, and the whole might be judiciously carried out at a comparatively small expense• It was finally resolved that a deputation of the gentlemen present should wait on Sir George Grey, to represent to him the state of the matter, and to hear his sentiments on the subject. In most provincial towns the authorities appear to be waiting for the official announcement of a day before commencing arrange ments for festivities. In some cases, however, a move. went has commenced. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE MULLINGAR RAC ES.-YESTERDAY WESTMEATH HANDICAP. 1 I Brewer 2 I Sting..... 3 fell. Won in a canter. Eleven ran. Eugenia.
