He sai' the way to ttu d when I told le then as 311, if you do not get an attorney he would take me to Mr. Bluck l s -office, but, instead' of that,' he - toeK me to Mr. Campbell's, and I paid him 'the half guinea. Mr. Holme . And did MT. Campbell appear to' the case after that ? No, sir, and I , was fined 5s and costs, but I heard he appeared in about an hour afterwards. Mr. nolme : Well, prisoner, whashave you to say to this ? Prisoner :I hate nothing to say. I did not receive any money, nor did I mention Mr. Bluck's name at all. Mr. Holme : Did he mention Mr. Bluck's name to you in particular ? He did, sir. Mr. Holme Did yon those Mr. Bluc'k yourself ? No; sir ; I did not know the gentleman until the prisoner mentioned his name. A girl, who accompanied the Witness gave similar evidence. The prisoner again denie d that he mentioned Mr. Bluck's name at all. Mr. Holme : There are two respectable witnesses who swear you did,'and I believe them, and not you. Mr. Clough : T= is man has no visible means of living, except hanging about the court " touting," and robbing poor people who may fall into his clutches, by false representations and inducements. The prisoner made a statement about his eyes, that he could not see to read or write, and had no means of living, not being able to work. He was fifty years in Liverpool,:and was never charged before with any offence. *Mr. Holme said the system followed by men like the prisoner of entrapping poor persons in the way described was most disgraceful. He (Mr. Holme) thought the gentleman who had received the money much to blame. He had no doubt that the prisoner received a per tentage from that gentle , 7 A man, and that gentleman was bound to come to the court and discharge his duty for the fee received by him. He (Mr. H.) very reluctantly was obliged to discharge the prisoner, as he did not think the evidence sufficient to send him before a jury, at the same time he would say that any- thing more disgiaceful than the conduct of such men as the prisoner, levying unjust—in fact robbit poor people - - who had the misfortune of being summoned there—robbing them under false pretences. He (the prisoner) first intro duces the name of Mr. Bluck to the woman, and then he takes her to another person. He had no hesitation in' saying that if a case had been made out against him, he would have sent him for trial, with the h ope; that a severe punishment would be inflicted. Mr. Bluck said, he did not intend to have offered any observation, but as his name had been men tioned in the case, he thought it right to say he knew nothinc , of the affair at all. So far as he was concerned, hehad'endeavoured always to put down the system, and he could refer to Mr. Clough for the correctness of this state ment. lie lost a good deal of money in consequence of the system, as a great many clients came to look for him, who fell in with these fellows about the court, and when he was asked for, one would say he was sick; another, that he was not then to be had ; a third, that he was engaged on the other side —and they. went so far as to su3 occasion,. that he S had got his leg broken on one because he would - not giie the I Mr. Cobb said, he had placed in _ _ anything This fellows i Mr. Clough's hands a receipt sent to him by Mr. Campbell, which he had received from the women for repayment of the fee. Mr. Clough : I can say that Mr. Black has.stated the truth ; and I have never yet known an instance of his having been engaged by a client where, if by mishap or engagement elsewhere he was not able to attend to the case, that he did not at once return the fee, without being asked to do so. Mr. Holme : I have no doubt of it. By my experience in these courts, I know that sometimes two or three courts may be sitting at the same time, and profes sional gentlemen may have cases in each. But my remarks were addressed to the prisoner before me, in this case, whose conduct, and that of those who act with him, is most discreditable, and such as ought not to, be allowed for a moment by any respectable - solicitor. [Subsequently, in the second court, Mr. Wybergh and Mr. .Afiderton stated very positively that, in the case alluded to, the woman had stated, on the previous day, that she in quired for Mr. Bluck (of Robinson) twice. Mr. Bluek then mentioned the matter again to Alderman Holme, and his Worship said he knew Mr. Bluck too long and too well, and that he believed him to be quite correct. There never was an imputation cast on him, as his conduct had been always honourable and straightforward.] The matter then ended, and the prisoner was discharged. A VERY BAD DAUGHTER.—A nice looking girl, named Elizabeth Green, about 16 years of age, was charged by he; mother with stealing a gown. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prosecution, and said it was one of the most painful cases he ever had to deal with. The mother of the unfor tulnate girl resided at Mile-end, and had done everything that a mother could do for a daughter, but although the latter was young, she was one of the most incorrigible young-creatures he had ever heard of. Some two years ago, she took up with bad company, and became a confirmed drunkard. The mother tried to reclaim her, but without effect, and at last the girl left her home altogether, and latterly never went near the place, except in a state of in toxication," and always managed to steal something out of the place. The mother charged her on several occasions, kit always, forgave her on her promising to amend. - Instead <doing so, it was worse she got, and on the previous day Ale went,to the mother's house, broke some glass in a win dow, and stole Om gown. It was not the wish of the mother to punish her, but to see what could be done far her to remove her from her present mode of life. The mother was then examined, and proved the facts above stated by Mr. Bluck. His Worship ordered the prisoner to be re manded for a week, and in the meantime it would be con sidered what was best to be done for her. The girl, before she left the bar, called out to her mother, and said, " Look here, mother." The mother looked towards her, when the unfortunate young creature said, " Well, you may go to hell, mother." Mr. Bluck : That shows you, sir, what she 11 . Mr. Holme : Yes, I see it. The girl was then re moved. -- , ..".

[The next new dictionary ought to look out.] A policeman who, by accident of :coarse, happened to be present when the dela pidation took place, gave it altogether against poor Morgan, and his Worship said : I must fine you £2. The prisoner asked might he put a question to his Worship, and, having received periniSsion, he said : But suppose, sir, I don't feel at all disposed to fork out two quid to that young " musiek-ean;" as he calls himself, what sdo you feel much as o ch . )? Mr. Holme : To send you to jail for one Mr. Morgan : Then I'll go to Jail for twenty-one so he N N TROUBLE.—Two first-class swells, named ktton and James Graham, were charged with .eic me I Twisthead. Mr. Cobb defended the prisoners, who were described as two of the most aristocratic and accomplished thieves in the United Kingdom. They appeared to be quite gentlemen, and were dressed .in elegant style, but not fop pish ; their manners and. address showed them to be persons of intelligence and education, and it was a pity to see such persons in the dock, as their accomplishments might have led them to a better place. It was stated that they live in good style <as thieve's) in London, and had been doing some " trade" in and about Liverpool. since the races, where they had been enjoying themselves during the race week. it appeared from the evidence of two railway porters belong ing to Birkenhead, and two police officers, that the prisoners, along with a third person, who succeeded in getting away, came by a train to Birkenhead, and in the train was the lady. From some movements made by the prisoners, the porters and• police followed them into the boat, and came across the river with them, and during the time they made several attempts to " draw" the lady's pocket, but did not succeed. ...When the passengers were leaving the boat, there was some little (as usual) confusion about baggage, and whilst the lady was engaged looking after her things, the prisoners made a final attack on her, and were seized by the porters and officers with their bands in her pocket. She felt the pull, but lost nothing, as the porters and officers were really too expert for this pair of expert thieves ; in the scuffle the third fellow got away. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the witnesses in a searching man- ner, but the only thing he elicited was, that Hatton told where he lived, at 28, Lord Nelson-street, and the people there said he was stopping at the house for three days. The witnesses also admitted that the prisoners had kid gloves on when they arrested them. Mr. Cobb made a forcible speech, and contended that his clients were first class persons, in business up the country, as they instructed him, but they would not tell where, as they did not wish to be known. Hatton, he said, had received a post-office order for £5 that morning. When Mr. Cobb concluded, both the prisoners, in strong language, and with much ability addressed his Worship. They showed great argu mentative and reasoning powers, but justice was inflexible, and his Worship sent them to gaol for three mouths each, with hard labour, and said he was convinced that all who heard the case were quite satisfied of their guilt. Mr. Cobb said he was instructed to appeal against the decision, but at a subsequent part of the day, he said his clients would allow ntence to remain, rather than pain their friends, by hem know where they were. • letting t USW. TUItNER AND HOUGHTON ASSAULT CASES.—.A. number of these cases came before their Worships, but the particulars are not of any interest. Maria Wilson, a brothel keeper, residing at 8, Pellew street, charged Mrs. Lambert, about twenty-three years of age, a rival brothel keeper, residing at 1, same street. It would appear that the complainant, accompanied by another lady, met the defendant, in the company of two ladies. They began to squabble, and Lambert struck Wilson, knocked her down, and gave her a black eye. There was a great deal of perjury on one side or other, and the summons was dismissed. Mary Curley, servant ;to Mrs. Nicholas, a German lady, summoned her mistress for an assault, and putting her out at an unlawful hour. Mrs. Nicholas was fined in 10s and costs. Charlotte Hyde charged Mary Anne Griffiths with assaulting her. A fishwoman asked the complainant for some money, when the defendant interfered, and they squabbled The complainant left, and went into a neighbour's, in Warren-street. She :was sitting in the parlour, nursing her child, when a large paving stone came " slap bang" through the window, and nearly hit her. She went out and accused the defendant, when she (Hyde) was set upon by her, had her hair torn out in lumps, stripped her almost, tore her apron, and stole the fringe edging, or insertion, belonging to the bottom of her petticoat. The magistrates dismissed the summons. Mary Ann Maguire charged Ann Burns with an assault. Com plainant was passing alonk. Marvbone, when she alleged the defendant came up and sad, "When are you going to pay me for the shift ?" "I never wear a shift —they are too expensive articles for me," was the answer, when the defen dant attacked her, and spoiled the beauty of her bonnet. For the defence, it was urged that the complainant liftedup last from a shoemaker's stall, and gave her a thump on the head, which raised a lump—dismissed. .Jane Ilolme charged her husband John Holme with an assault. Mr. Cobb prosecuted, and Mr. Bluck defended. Jane Holme was examined and said, the defendant was her husband; on the 21st Feb. he beat and ;kicked her all over the body with his feet and hands. The mark on my face was done at that time, I had not done anything to provoke him. To Mr. Bluck : I do not get drunk every night and he never brought me out of a public-house. I got some money which he got for horses, and I have kept it. Then you did not think that robbing him was sufficient provocation? Mr. Cobb : She can't rob her husband. Defendant : If you were with her for six nights as I have been you wouldn't think so. The defendant was ordered to' find bail himself in £2O, and two securities of lao each, to keep the peace towards his wife. AFFILIATION C.asEs.—A number of these adjudic a t e d u p on . O ne M ar y Campbell summoned ecases ewere `Thomas Hampton for the support of her illegitimate child. From the evidence, which caused much merriment in the court, it would appear that Mary Campbell is a married woman, and that her husband is still alive, that she has not spoken six words to him for the last four years, that she was confined six months after her marriage, that her husband left her, and that she went and lived with Thomas Hampton as his wife: The defendant's friends wanted him to sever the connection, and for that purpose sent a police officer to forcibly take him away. He, being under age, thought he could be legally taken away. The defendant allowed the complainant 2s a week after they were separated. On the 20th of April sh e was d el i vered of a child, 4.nd now sought ftr IPAilltePa4q for the youngster.

Mr. Morgan was evidently a man that did not admire peg top trousers, for his inexpressibles had been, at no distant, date, clearly a pair of cotton bale canvass coverings, and these, along with the total absence of a left sleeve and part of the front of his coat, made him look interestingly picturesque ! The finishing touch, however, of Mr. Morgan remained on his face. Trie right side of that portion of his head had a fine luxuriant "bushy black " 'whisker, whilst the left was closely shaVed, but in order to make up for that, there was a heavy curled moustache on his upper left lip, but " not a taste at all, at all," on the oppoSite side' . . ,verlaiting Danford a wonderfdll and althot ,e laug thitiking of nothing 1118 to me, an sass he SWELLS William I ye, and a laeautifal near per r.

The defendant, of coD;se, derekd all connection with her. Another police ificer Ne. '735, - gave evidence to his having seen them together. Mr. Tvitner observed that if the officers attended to their duty instead of talking to women, it would be better for them. Mr. Cobb entered into a long and able defence, during which he stated that if there were any .of the officers !unmarried he would advise them to get married at once, as they werelitely to be hauled up if they spoke to a female. The magistrates made an order for half-a-crown a week 'against the defendant. • TIDE CHARGE AGAINST THE ENGINEERS OF THE " BOGOTA. "The charge agiinst John Buchannan, the chief engineer, and Archibald Kitchell, the second engineer of the Bogota, fer 'having caused the death of a fireman, named Thomas Landon, on board, on the high seas, - was to have been heard on Satniday at twelve o'clock. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the Cram, Mr. Aspinall for Buchannan, and Mr. Deighton for Mitchell. When the case was called on, Mr. Holme said, " Put up the men in the roasting case." Mr. Aspinall said he was sorry to hear his Worship adopt as expression that had been used in another place, and upen which he was about to say a few words before entering on the case. He had to complain of the very improper conduct of some of the Liverpool newspapers, in regard to the case. No one could complain of the news papers when they reported what took place fairly in the court; but he had to complain of some newspapers that had put a most inflammatory heading to the case in 'the papers tlvinselves ; and, in the second place, they had posted flaming placards all over the town—placards of a most inflammatory character, headed " Roasting a man alive." This was highly improper, because it was false, and done for no other reason than inflaming the public mind - that was the intent and tendency of the placards. Two newspapers the Post and Mercury) had disgraced themselves by doing di in the papers and 'the placards, he hoped the knowledge of the proprietors. He was happy to say, however, that the NORTHERN D 'LILY TIMES did not do so. That paper very properly confined itself to a fair and proper report of the proceedings in the court, and no one could object to that ; but it was grossly improper in the other papers to do what they did, as it was calculated to inflict a gross injury . on the parties, because it was false. In the first place, it inflicted a gross wrong by inserting it in the paper, and in the second place, to placard it over the town was a gross injustice, because many persons saw the platards'who never read the papers. It was also untrue, and that was the reason it inflicted an injustice. He trusted such an occurrence would not take place in future. He was quite satisfied that Mr. Tyndall agreed with him in these observations. Mr. Tyndall said he quite agreed with the observations of the learned counsel. He (Mr. Tyndall), in the absence of Messrs. Lowndes and Co., had received instructions from them, on the part of the Government, to proceed with the prosecution. He saw Mr. Mansfield was not there that day, and as he had already heard the case, so far as it went, it would perhaps be deiirable to have it postponed until he could attend. (It appeared that Mr. Mansfield was confined with an attack of influenza.) He (Mr. Tyndall) would wish the case gone into as soon as possible, as there were a great number of witnesses to be examined. Their examina tion would last one whole day at least, and he would require Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to prepare the case for the - -past ten on Monday morning! Mr. Ildme said lie would sit on Monday to dispose of the ordinary cases, if it would enable Mr. Mansfield to sit at half-past ten to proceed in the case, but perhaps Mr. Mansfield would not be able to attend on Monday, from the nature of his attack. MONETARY AND: COMMERCIAL LIVERPOOL, Saturd4 . EVening. The amount of business done in .the Liverpoo Cotton market has not been quite so large to-day the sales only, reaching 8,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and export ; but the market has been steady, and the prices firm. The Liverpool Share market has not been quite so active to .day, but prices have been pretty well:sus tained. The transactions were as follows :—Black bnrn, 111 ; East Lancashire, 931 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 95-,? i , 951, 951, 951 •, London and North Western, 951, 951 ; Midland, 1001, 1001, loot ; South Eastern, 211 21 9-16, 211, 21 7-16 ; Buffalo and Lake Huron, 71 ; Dutch ' Rhenish, 41 d ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 8 13-16, 81; Great Western of Canada, New, 41-d. In London the funds were quiet, at the closing quotations of yesterday. Sonie posithre information respecting the result of Lord Cr,wley's mission is most anxiously looked for ; and. meanwhile business in the Stock Exchange is very languid. Consols are quoted 96, "buyers," for 1 - noney, and 96 1-16 to 961 for the 7th of April. The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures have been dealt in at 991 ; India Bonds, at 19s. premium ; and Exchequer Bills, June, at 355. to 38s. premium. The Foreign Stock Market is very quiet. The London Railway Share Market to-day is generally rather weaker, but the reduction in prices does not exceed 4to 1 per cent. York and North Midland Stock is inquired for and firm. Present quotations are as follows :—Ambergate, Nottingham, and Eastern Junction, 61 ; Caledonian, 851; EasternCounties;6ol, 601; iast Lancashire, 93, 94 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 721, 731; Great -Northern, 1021, 1031; Do.

There is rather more inquiry for discount accom modation in Lombard-street, but the returns issued from the Bank of England, for the week ending Wednesday last, shows that the discount operations of the national establishment continue on a limited scale. The stock of securities has further diminished, but as soon as the uneasiness created by political affairs is allayed, the requirements of the commer cial public are expected to increase, as an improving tendency in trade is already apparent. The state ment published by the Bank of France also exhibits an extraordinary accommodation of money resulting from the contraction -of business, and the commercial classes of that country are anxiously awaiting the adjustment of the Italian question, operations in the meantime being partially suspended. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been of an important character. The imports have comprised 17,2401. from the United. States, by the America, and 66,0001. by the Leba non; 10,5531. from the West Coast of Africa, by the Ethiope ; 4001. from Alexandria, by the Indus ; 2;215/. from Bombay, by the Behar ; 100,000/. in gold from Russia ; and about 100,000/. in silver, from the Continent; the total amounting to 296,4081. The exports have been 384,925/. to the East Indies and China, by the Pera ; 85,8671. to the Brazils, by the Avon; and shipments to the Con tinent through the London Custom House of 27,8661. —the total making 498,6581. About 20,0001. was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for shipment to the Continent, so that, with the 80,0001. in Russian imperials to be taken for, a similar purpose, the total about to be despatched is 100,000/. The receipts meanwhile are limited, although two or three vessels are shortly expecte d from Australia. The demand for Silver continues to be supported, and the quotation for bar is 5s 11d. The failure of Mr. R. B. Allan, ship and insurance broker and underwriter at Lloyd's will be for a more serious amount than at first imagined. The allega tions against him are of a painful nature, and it is asserted that the principal cause of his difficulties has'been unsuccessful speculation at the Stock Ex change. At present he has absented himself from his creditors, but an opinion appears to be enter tained that he will eventually surrender to his bankruptcy. His suspension has created some in convenience to those who have engaged. in under- writing transactions with him, as - the risks on tie whole of the policies in which he was interested have had to be re-arranged. It is stated that the City of Paris are endeavour ig to negotiate a loan of five or six millions sterling in the London market. The money is said to be wanted for works of improvement. The security is the revenues of the municipality, which will be largely increased by the extension of the City beyond the present octroi boundary. The prospectus of the Northfleet Docks and Lon don Quays Company (Limited) is issued, with a proposed capital of 1,500,000/. (subject to increase to 2,000,0001.), in shares of 201. each. It is proposed to construct large docks at Northfleet, where an area of 165 acres has been secured, and where it is con tended that the chalk formation affords peculiar facilities for the construction and maintenance of the works. Both wet and dry docks, adapted to vessels of the largest dimensions, are to be formed, and the former are to be perfectly accessible at every state of the tide. As regards railway communication it is mentioned that " the docks will be connected with the City by the London, Tilbury, and Southend line and also with the North London Railway, on which now converge the great trunk lines from the north • and west ; " and that " A branch less than half a mile in length, and for which the South Eastern Company have expressed their readiness to give every facility, will connect the proposed docks with the North Kent line, thus affbrding another communication through the South Eastern and South Western Railways, and the various lines in connection with them, with all the manufacturing districts in the kingdom." The docks at Northfleet are to be combined with several quays in Lower Thames-street, it being proposed to main tain a constant communication. Such are the ad vantages set forth by the promoters, who have secured a number of respectable names for the direction. The engineer is Sir Charles Fox. The directors of the Agra and United Service Bank have declared a dividend at the rate of ten per cent. per annum, for the half year to 31st December last, with a bonus of a pound per share, making a itotal distribution of profits of twelve per cent. for the past year. The directors of the lonian Bank have declared a dividend for the half year ending 31st December, at the rate of five per cent. per annum. • At the London Wool sales to-day there was about an average attendance. For most descripti ons th e biddings have ruled steady at previous quotations. Messrs. Balme and Co., disposed of nearly 3,000 bales Sydney, Port Phillip, Van Dieman's, New Zealand, Adelaide, and Cape. The Glasgow Daily Mail, in reference to the Wes tern Bank of Scotland, and the return of the calls, says Notwithstandinc , a qualified contradiction has been given by dome of our contemporaries to the statement published in the Mail on Thursday, that those Shareholders of the Western Bank who have paid up their calls in full will receive a bonus of from twenty to thirty pounds per share, we beg to reiterate our statement. And, if it will be any consolation to our contemporaries, we may add, that the sum ultimately to be returned will probably be much greater than we have mentioned. But as this latter dividend will depend upon the amount of damages obtained by legal process or friendly com promise from the directors, its value cannot yet be estimated. The number of shares entitled to this unexpected bonus will be about 8,030 ; and although they have not been brought into the market, they may be now considered as having a value equivalent to the dividend anticipated. During the past few weeks, the colliers and iron stone getters employed at the various works in the neighbourhood of Burslem and Tunstall, in the North Staffordshire district, have been endeavouring to obtain an increase of wages, and, in some instances, partial " strikes " have taken place. On Monday last, a large and influential meeting of the coal and iron miters of thy district was held at the Railway Hotel, Stoke-upon-Trent, for the purpose of dis cussing the question of wages. Nearly every colliery firm in the district was represented at the meeting, and it was the unanimous opinion of those present that it was quite impracticable to giire any increase of wages in the present state of the trade, and resolutions were passed to that effect, and pledging the meeting not to make Rny advance in wages until the prospects of the trade improve. In consequence of the fall t'.s.,-day on the Paris Bourse, the Funds opened with Sql - ae heaviness. The unfavoltrable tendency was slbsquently confirmed by a fresh fall at Paris. Consols left off per cent. lower than yesterday. In the Share Markets depression also prevails. In the Discount Market the demand is increasing, whilst the supply of money, owing partly to the large accumulation of Government deposits in the Bank, has diminished. The lowest reces for choice Bills to-day was 21, to 2-7- per cent. About £20,000 in gold was this day withdrawn from the Bs,nk for exportation. The result of the variations on ti-e - Paris Bourse to-day was a decline of about 1 ; per cent. The fall of about 7 per cent., which took place in the Exchange on Austria between Friday and Tuesday last, has been followed this afternoon by a rise of 2 to 3 per cent., owing to renewed distrust.—Daily News City Article, Friday Evening The English Funds opened steadily to-day. The con tinued reliance placed on the results of the mission of Lord Cowley tended to support prices, until a telegram was received of a further downward movement in French Rentes, when a decline took place. Owing to the abundance of money seekinc , employment, there is no difference between the price for the Account on the 7th of April and that for immediate delivery. In the Discount Market and at the Bank to-day there was rather an increased demand. The Colonial Produce Markets this week have been dull, from the prevailing uncertainty, but the closing quotations to-day exhibit little variation.—Times City Article, Friday Evening. The aggregate traffic returns of the railways of the United Kingdom, for the week ending March sth, shew an increase of £48,400.. TRADE IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. LEIOESTER.—Orders for regular worsted hosiery this week are but on a very limited scale, and the fancy trade has fallen off as usual at this period of the year. In socks and gloves a' brisk demand continues. Worsted yarns remain nominally the same, but can be bought on easier terms. We notice that at a wool sale which took place at the repo sitory of Mr. John Holland, jun., the tegs realised £l7 per pack, but as only £l5 15s was offered for the wethers, they were not sold.—Leicester Journal. NOTTINGHAM.—There is a decidedly improved tone in the lace trade. Plain cotton articles are still in greater re quest than any other branch. Another failure has taken place in the lace trade since last week. In the hosiery trade there is still a satisfactory amount of business trans acted. We have to notice a large failure which has taken place in the hosiery and drapery trade. Mr. Smyth, wholesale hosier and draper, has this week declared himself unable to meet his monetary engagements. His liabilities are said to be £40,000. Silk maintains its value ; merino yarns not much altered; cotton ditto have advanced a shade.—Leicester Journal: • LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.-MARCH 12 There has been scarcely so much doing in our cotton market to-day, bnt prices continue steady. The sales — including 60 Pernambuco, 82d ; 20 Bahia, 71d; 150 Maranham, 8d to 9d; 200 Egyptian, 71d to 9d ,; 500 Surat, sl i d to 6 i !--,d--are 'reported 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 aie on speculation and for export. BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—MARca 12 New hops continue in good request, and prices rule very firm Yearlings and old hops, however, are a slow inquiry, yet we have no change to notice in their value. b ed, after a short conversational discussion, to let the case stand to one o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday). Mr. Deighton applied to have Mitchell admitted to bail; but his Worship refused to do so, as Mr. Mansfield had refused bail before for him. The bail of Buchannan was then enlarged, and the , case stands over to one o'clock to-morrow. A REAL REFORM BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—Public opinion has pronounced the Govern ment measure an aristocratic juggle, and Mr. Bright's proposal a democratic humbug. The latter has enunciated the true principle, but does not follow it out logically. He does not advocate universal suffrage , nor do I. Manhood voting measure—this th ignorant clodhopper, the drunken vagabond, the man " worse than an infidel, who provides not for his own house," but beats his wife, starves his children, and casts botheon the parish, shall rank with, and possibly neutralize the votes of the intelligent, sober, hard-working artizan. Disraeli says, because there are such, exclude all who do not hold £6O in a savings' bank, or £lO in consols, or occupy a £lO house. Bright says, because the masses are not ignorant, idle and drunken, admit all who may be rated to the poors' relief. Neither speaks like a statesman. Is it not easy when the old line-of-battle ship British Constitution goes into dock to be converted into an efficient steam propelled vessel to provide that no rotten beam which can be readily sent ashore shall be left in her structure ; why should an ignorant man have the. franchise ? There can be but one answer. How to test—l submit it can be done, and by no expensive process, along with other and equally important objects. I propose, then, to give every occupier rated to the relief of the poor at £5, one vote, subject to the folloWing objections :—Not a British subject, not 21 years of age, not able to read and write, once con victed of felony, within twelve months preceding convicted by a jury, or having plead guilty before a magistrate of any crime, or twice imprisoned for any period by any ma g istrate ; having deserted his wife ; having left wife and children chargeable to parish or union, or having himself received poor-law relief within twelve months preceding, Every man to vote in regard to his actual occupation, whether in town or county,. upon the same qualification in one as the other_ Hence the freeholder should vote for his 40s. freehold in town or county, as it may be situated, saving the rights of existinc , freeholders, if existing freemen are to be continued voters. This franchise will bring in all the really valuable portion of the working men, or nearly so. I make no ac count of the lodger cant. Family is the basis of English society, and home means a house, small or large. Let the intelligent men in lodgings get houses of their own, or be satisfied to wait the time of enjoying the full rights of citizenship until they begin adequately to discharge its duties. I may now be asked, will not this franchise transfer political power entirely to the masses. I answer — I believe it would, if it stopped here. But, as although life, liberty, and family are as dear to the £5 as to the £5O occupier, each does not equally contribute to the expenses of the nation ; each pays on tea, sugar, &c., but &n exceptional tax is levied on inhabited houses of £2O, and upwards. Income tax applies to a higher class, and exempts the lower. Hence I conclude the voting power should, whilst widely spread, be given in a larger proportion to the higher taxed. I therefore propose, that excep'- tional or increased - taxation be recognised as a title to a plurality of votes, say as follows :-150 occupation or payment of income tax, or inhabited house duty, two votes £5OO, three votes ; £5,000, four votes ; 40s. freehold, one vote, £2O, two votes ; £2OO, three votes ; £2,000, four votes. Thus property and intel gence would have their due weight, although not an absolute control. Give every single voter the ballot, and all with a plurality of votes—their choice of ballot in open voting—and with a proper and reasonable transfer of representation from close boroughs to towns and counties which are now 'inadequately represented, we should have the, people of England, its worth, its intelligence, and its wealth too fairly represented in St. Stephens's:—l am, sir, A TRUE REFORMER. Liverpool, March 12, 1859. According to the inferences suggested by a leading article in the 'oat King Ferdinand has become veritably insane. TUB AUSTRIAN DESPATCH.—The Times says it is thoroughly Austrian, ably reasoned, in a diplomatic point of view, and indirectly a fixed determination to defend positive and guaranteed rights. WARRING/MC—At the special meeting of the Warrington Town Council, on Wednesday, Mr. Alderman Rylands brought forward a motion for a petition to be prepared against the Reform Bill introdnced by. the Government. An amendment was proposed on the ground, that it was desirable that this Council should not interfere in the general politics of the country ; but, after an animated discussion, the motion was carried by a 7 ,:ajority of 5. A requisition to the Mayor was then numerixlslY signed, in order that a public meeting might be called. • LONDON TALLOW MARKET-MARCH 12 The market is quiet, at the annexed prices.

East Wheal Russell shares have been dealt in' at 25 ; Grambler and St. Aubyn at 85 to 86, ex div. ; Great South Tolgus, at in- - to 131, ex div. ; North Crofty, at 114 and 104 ; Consols, at 151; and Clijah and Wentworth, at 71. Fortuna Mining shares are still inquired for, and are marked 1 and 2. The shares of the North Rhine Copper Mining Company of South Australia have been dealt in at H prem. Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal market : The business of the week has been on a limited scale, not withstanding some increase of confidence in the maintenance of peace being visible. Copper finds but few buyers,. and participates in the general dullness ; but confidence is felt in the continuance of present prices. Iron is rather weaker in price for merchant descriptions, but rail continues in good demand and firm in price. Scotch pig is a shade better. Tin is firm in price, although the demand is not active. Lead is without change, and tin plates the same. The annual-meeting of the Tincroft Mining Company is called for the 12th of April. The directors of the Clarendon Mining Company of Jamaica have made a call of 2s. 6d. per share, payable by the Ist of May. A petition for the winding up of. the Cae Gynon Mining Company is expected to be heard before the Master of the Rolls on the 23rd inst. LONDON MONEY, -MARCH 12 Consols were very steady all morning, at closing price of yesterday, 96 to 96k, and there is scarcely a bargain doing. French Rentes closed yesterday at 68.10.

THE REFORM BILL The Times blames ministers for bringing forward a Reform Bill, disfigured by provisions which it is impossible to carry. When once committed to an unwelcome task, they ought to have submitted with a good grace to the indispen sable:condition of success. It was a waste of time to nego ciate and argue with their own supporters who were in an acknowledged minority in the House of Commons. The city of London meeting to oppose the Reform Bill was the most important, though not the only one, held in London, on Friday, and several large meetings took place in the provinces. At the Carlisle meeting, held on Friday night, an appeal was made to Sir James Graham that he should represent or impress upon Lord J. Russell the desirability of yielding the ballot.
