'THIS DAY.)

WNW MONDAY IN THE METROPOLIS.

Notwithstanding the eoemewhat threatening ap-
pearance of the cloody whisk portended rain and storm,
the streets of the rentrepsils were early filled by holiday
folks, wbo, contemning evil camas, wended their way
to the railway stations and steamboat piers, for the pur-
pose of spending their Easter Monday among rural,
or, at least suburban, scenes. London-bridge was
rendered almost as imyeneahle as it was on the night of the
regent illuminations by the multitudes going in the dime-
ties of the termini of the Brighton, the Crystal Palace, and
the Greenwich railway lines. The crowds that assembled
to view the departure of the volunteers for the Brighton
review, would in themselves have formed • respectable
population for a good sired town.
Greenwich was as usual the most popular of those sub-
urban resorts which have to rely upon their unaided
attractions to iudooe the please e-seekers to patronise them.
Though there are no longer offered the mystic allurements
of the " fun of the fair," numbers of persons thronged
the park and Blackheath, where they amused themselves
with the time-honoured sports of kiss-in-the-ring and run-
ning down the hill, donkey riding, archery, Aunt Sally,
and "Alexandra scratchers, to say nothing of eating and
frisking on the grass.
Ctaphamoommon was the resort of large portions of the
population, not only of the immediate neighbourhood, but
of Kennington, Vanshall, and Camberwell. The gaol of
cricket, which was played 10 very good style by venous
clubs and by amateurs who were not encumbered with club
rides, absorbed the attention of those for whom " Kiss in
the nog" and "These shies • peony" bad no charms.
Some diversion was caused by the advent of a philanthropic
individual in • light cart drawn by • fast-trotting horse,
who, " commissioned by a marquis," rewarded all who, in
the spirit of immutable speculation," entrusted him with a
Willing or idxpenoe, by returning them doable. It was not
any fault of his, doubtless, if, after receiving a goodly num-
ber of halfcrowne when confidence was at its IWght,
his horse bolt- 1, and he had to bend low to allow
• perfect storm of sticks, stones, orange peels and other
missiles to pass in harmless and graceful curves over his head.
Victoria-park was well frequented by the artisans of
Burt Loudon and their families. The water fowl and
the beauties of what is now one of the handsomest of Lon-
don-parks were apparently the chief objects of attraction.
The Zoological Gardens in Regent's-park were, as usual,
visited by an immense number of persons ; and the attrac-
tions of that wondrous exhibition have evidently lost
nothing in public estimation. The British Museum, the
South Kensington Museum, and other places of a national
character, have also been wall frequented. The Colos-
seum, the Polytechnic, and other institutions of • similar
nature, where the masses End ample provision for their
entertainment, have naturally shared in the favour of the
mass of holiday folks; and the theatres will doubtless com-
plete the work of amusement this evening.
The river haft, thanks to fine weather, worn its gayest
aspect, and the steamboats have been freighted to their
otrocet capacity, sod occasionally almost beyond it.
Nothwithstsnding the attractions of Brighton, aided by
railway hires, which are almost incredibly low, it is evident
that the growing population of London requires on an omit-
sioe like the prevent all the entertainment which the metro-
polis and its vicinity can supply, end the aspect of the
streets and =barbs duds swab( bas been extremely
animated.

(THIS DAY.)

The April session of the above court commenced this
morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Re-
corder, Alderman W. Lawrence, Alderman Oalun, Alder-
man and Sheriff J. 0. Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Jones, the
ander sheriffs, &c.
The first edition of the calendar contains the tames of
110 precious, and four of them are charged with the crime
of wilful murder.
The Recorder, in therein the grand jury, raid that owing
to the absence of the judges on the circtut, rather • longer
period had elapsed since the last session, and the number of
prisoners for trial, although rather large, was not more so
than might be expected. There were two charges of wilful
murder which would be brought before them both of
which were against women for the murder of their
illegitimate children. In the first case the question
for their consideration would be whether or not the
child was born alive. In the other ems the
medical testimony places it beyond doubt that the
child was born alive, and the question then for them to con-
sider was whether the injuries were accidental or not. If they
were satiefied that there woe sufllcient to establish a prima
facie case against the prisoner, they ought to return a true
bill ; and it would be for the petty jury to consider whether
there were any facts which would reduce the crime to the
lighter one of manslaughter. There was a charge of man-
slaughter against a min, bat the depositions had best only
just returned, and he had not had time to mote all the (seta
but it appeared that it moaned on board a Peruvian vessel,
which was lying in the port of London, and on board of
which were some soldiers, amongst whom a disturbance took
place. One of the oflloan of the vessel interfered to mail ,
the disturbance and • soldier was taken into custody,
after which the whole of the soldiers roes is •
body to rescue him. The mariners armed themselves to
prevent the soldiers coming on deck, but the latter drew
their ba onets, and • struggle ensued, during which the
deceased met with his death. It appeared that the crime
was rednoed to manslaughter, but he could not see what
cireumetances could have led to that, as it was quite clear
that if a body of men were resisting • lawful authority, and
used dangerous weapons, with which they inflicted such in-
juries as to cause death, it was undoubtedly murder. He
supposed, however, the coroner bad just reasons for reducing
it to manslaughter. The prisoner's defence was that he
was not the party who inflicted the injury ; but if he were
engaged with the others in the use of dangerous weapons
it was perfectly immaterial whether he inflicted the injury
or not; they were all engaged in one common purpose.
There were two charges of rape, which his lordship urged
the greed jury to consider with great care. There was also
• charge against a person for obtaining money by menaces.
There did not appear to have been any violence, but
the prisoner bad threatened to bring a charge
against the prosecutor if he did not give him some
money, and his lordship remarked that there could
hardly be • more serious offence, or one which was more
likely to clue injury to a person. There was one charge
which he was afraid would occupy • very considerable time.
It was against • person for conspiring with another to obtain
foods, well knowing his state of insolvency, arid with destroy-
ing his books. The question would be whether the prisoner
was acting in concert with the person with whom he was
charged with conspiring, and who had absconded, or whe-
ther the latter was acting alone. The prisoner was his
partner, but the evidence pointed more directly against the
one who had absconded. The only other charge to which
his lordship thought it necessary to allude was one of arson,
and it appeared that the prisoner had been in the workhouse,
and had been heard openly to express his intention of
committing the act. His lordship remarked that it ap-
peared to be an impreesion on the minds of some who com-
mitted such crimes that the punishment of penal servitude
was not very severe, but he might observe that those who
committed such crimes with such an idea, would in future
find themselves grievously mistaken.
The brand jury then retired to their duties.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

WORSHIP-STREET.
DARENO BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.

Two powerful fellows, whooi the names of George'
Mutter and William Graham, • themselves tailors, but
refusing their address, were chart as follows :
Polioe-coostable Major, 120 N, said—Last night, shortly
after 8 o'clock, while on duty in St. John's-road, Horton,
a stranger informed En that he had seen two men
knock at No. 48, Alma-street, New North-road,
and afterwards force an entrance. • Acting on this
I hastened there, and observed some person with a light is
the top front room. I obtained assistance, which I plead
at the rear of the premises, and at that instant the owner
or tenant of the house came up with his wife. They told
me that they had not left anyone within on quitting it,
and I was then, of course, certain that thieves were then.
Suddenly I heard footstep, cautiously descending the stairs,
the doors opened, and Graham, followed by Mutter, stood be-
fore me. I seized the former prisoner endive& a grasp at his
companion, who, however, twisted away and ran upstairs.
Graham struck me with hie Bate violently on the chest and
I fell, but dragged him with me. Several persons who had
gathered round gave an alarm, which brought to my side
Mr. Deacon, a builder, residing in the same street,
and after having passed Graham into other heads, the*
gentleman and I went into the hones in search of
Mutter and others who might be there ; I toned him in a
room above. On seeing me he said, " I'm done." Mr.Deacoa
then took charge of him and left him in the protege, while
thorough searchwas made by myself and a heather amenable.
A large quantity of wearing apparel was found packed up
in two large bags, reed for removal, and an abundance of
jewellery war of picked up both in the passage and
in the street. Oa the spot where prisoners were being held
drawers, bores,and cupboards had been opened with violence
and the contents lay scattered about the floor. lo fact, the
place appeared as though the occupants were removing.
In one of the apartmeuts this iron jemmy (exhibiting one)
was picked up, and marks near to the lock of the street
door showed a correspondence with the point of the instru-
ment

Baker, 242 N, smarmed the latter portion of this testi-
mony, said added that cot any article claimed
by the prosecutor had been found co the prisoners,
who bad evidently unladen themselves ef the jewellery.
After their capture, Mr. John Sullen, inmate of the boon
in questioe, ideotiiied all the property.
It further ►ppeared that the prisoner. bad knocked at
nearly every house in Alma-street, inquiring for ► cab pro-
prietor, manifestly with the view of at length ending one of
the inhabitants away from home.
The inspector in charge of the cue asked for a remand,
as he believed that previous coevictions could be proved
against both men.
Remanded for completion of the depositions.

" BIIIVAYTGAL/1314"

Mary Lambert, an impudent-looking young woman, was
brought before Mr. Combo, charged with committing an
assault on her mistress, Mrs. Esther Hanley, under the
following circumstances :
The prosecutrix mid she was • coffee-house keeper, in
High-street, Borough, and the prisoner had been in her service
a few weeks as • domestic servant. During the last two
or three days her conduct had been so bad that else had bees
compelled to give her notice to leave. Yesterday morning
about half-past 8 o'clock she saw the prisoner greedy_ mis-
conducting herself with a customer, and when she told her
of it she abused her, and in the presence of a constable dew
,at her and threw • cup of tea over her. She then gave her
inte custedy.
Prisoner said she was an injured female, as her mistress
refused to allow her to go out or have her young man oome
to see her. Not only that, but she refused to allow her
, beer to her meals.
Mrs. Hanley denied that. She wanted ale, which witness
never kept in the homes, but ohs kept porter in the place,
and could have that.
The prisoner exclaimed that she was not going to have
filthy porter, sod she did not like to be ordered about ; as
for the tea, that was an accident.
Police-coustable 199 H said he was on duty in High-street,
Borough, on Sunday morning, • little after eight, when he
heard • disturbance in the coffee-house, and cries of
"polies." He opened the door and saw the prisoner de,ibe-
rately throw a eupof tea over her mistress, and afterwards
strike her. He then took her into custody.
Mr. Combo observed that the prisoner seemed to be a
very ill-Conducted young woman, and as • caution to her
for the future he should fine her 20e, or sentence her to
fourteen days' hard labour at Wandsworth.

This morning at 10 o'clock Henry Carter was
nmate' at the county taol, Warwick, in the presence of
ea imam amseablage of
It will be remembered tL"matisii; culprit wan tried at the
recut seises on the 28th ult., before Mr. Justice Willis,
fertile wilful murder of ayoung woman named Alice
! to whom he was paying his addresses at Birming&te
wretched murderer was • brass founder by trade, and the
father of his victim was • manufacturer of jewellery. Their
acquaintance commenced somewhat romantically, as in
passing her house in going to and from his employment he
fell desperately in love with her, declared his
and having obtained permission to pay his
to her was allowed to visit at the father's house, and to
walk out with her. It did not appear, however, that be
was much liked by the girl herself, still be continued to
prosecute his suit, and after the expiration of seven or
eight months there was some reserve noticed in the de.
meanour of the deceased, which was attributed to
a lover's quarrel. On Thursday evening, the Ist of
December the miscreant went to see her as usual,
i staying n company for about a couple of hours,
until about half-past ten, when they left together, Carter
to return to his borne, and tho •• • r girl to repair to her
house, where she had been in the 6 bit of aleemug. Before
parting, they stood talking together, and the girl was beard
to say Yea," in reply to an interrogatory put by Carter to
her, "Do you mean it V' and as she turned to kayo him
the report of a pistol was beard, and the poor girl was found
on the groud. quite dead. The man Carter was seen
' • to deal down the entry at the top of his spud, and for the
time escaped ; but, returning, was taken into custody near
the scene of the murder. He admitted, when taken into
custody, that he had shot the unhappy girl.
The execution took plus at ton minutes after ten o'clock ;
61 and it is understood that the culprit confessed his crime.

The Stock Exchange being closed to-day, we
have no information to give with reference to
stocks and shares.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented; were quoted
89fr. 65c., being Sc. lower than on Saturday.
The Result has arrived from Melbourne with
187,0001. in gold.
There was a fair demand for money on Saturday,
both at the Bank of England and in Lombard-
street, it being the 4th of the month, but, owing
to the approach of the dividends, the payment of
which will commence on Wednesday next, the Bth,
good bills were discounted at 31 per cent.
About 32,0001. in gold was bought by the Bank
on Saturday.
The Teuton* from New York, has brought
550001. in specie for England.
The advioes from Melbourne announce the ship-
ment for England during the month of 397,5001. in
gold.
The committee of the holders of Greek Bonds of
the loans of 1824 and 1825 have issued a report
describing the proceedings adopted by them since
the constitution of the committee a twelvemonth
ago. The government of King Otho entirely
ignored the existence of this body. The report
gives a copy of the committee's memorial which was
addressed to the National Assembly, and it then
remarks :
Coder date of 20th March, our agent in Athens writs us
that—" The memorial of the bondholders has been referred
to the committee appointed by the Assembly to examine
Into financial questions. As yet the committee have made
no report to the Assembly on this subject, but se soon as
they do I shall communicate the substance to you."
The Oreek nation has now au opportunity of doing justice
to itself, and relieving the country of the stigma of neg.
leMing to reoagnies its debts ; and of making such • settle-
ment with its auditors as its mesas will justify, and thus
Cthat impetus to the of the nation which
ol,rin the days when be was King, failed to do.
There cannot be any doubt that the different princes who
lave been named as the probable orpossible King of Greece,
have bees deterred by the supposed financial difficulties. It is,
therefore, the mom requisite that this idea should be shown to
be fallacious, es the following pages will prove. The naval
revenue of Greece may be reckoned at 700,0001., suscep-
tible of considerable increase under political tranquillity,
whilst, voording to the estimate presented by the Greek
government in May, 1859, to the committee appointed at
Athens, on behalf of the three powers, to swamioe into the
financial condition of Greece, ft appeared that the country
might be governed for 550,000/, leaving a large surplus to
pay interest on the foreign debts already incurred, inde-
pendent of the expected increase of revenue. The three
allied powere are wider • joint obligation to pay
assaalll4o,oool., and they are consequently now
anise a y dvances of about 2,700,0001. Ili 1859, accord-
* to the official report, they agreed te aoespt of
36,0001. per annum, until such time u the reverser of the
country will improve. The debt for principal and interest
due to the bondholders may be estimated at 7,000,0001.,
and whenever the de farts government of Greece, whether
National Assembly or King, shell appoint a commhaioner
to arrange the terms for the settlement of this debt, he will
find this committee quite ready and willing to recommend
to the bondholders to accept such terms as shall be within
the means of the present and future revenue of the treasury
to fulfil, without fear of a second default. As soon as these
satisfactory arrangements are made there is not any mama
that Greece should not look to find the 'evidence of capital
in Europe for such public works as may afford • satis-
factory remuneration to capitalists, and at the was tine
improve the internal condition of the country, and its lima-
dal resources. The works that might be so undertaken
am—an inexpensive boat portage acmes the Isthmus of
Corinth for the local traffic—not • canal, for that could
only be done with locks and they are objectionable is
hied troubled with eartileuakia. A tramway scram es
northern frontier, say at out of 2,0001. per mile, front
the Adiiatic Sea to the Gulf of Lands, a dirtan.e of eighty
miles, saving} coasting voyage of 500 miles. Several short
tramways from the seaports into the interior of the
Mores ; another from the Pineas to Adieu, and thence to
the marble mistrial of the Penteliena, ray fifteen miles ;
mother from the COalli, of only one mile, to the ancient
quarry of the Parise marble. In Greece as abundance of
inland swamps and seaside marshes, richer than the lands
of Egypt after the overflowing of the Nile, which from
malaria are valneleesuatil they are drained. The °outmo-
des of public works will convert the melee' 9,500 men of
the army into useful "appal and miners, and save annually
150,0001. as they would be paid by the contractors, mad
not by the government—and get better pay. If these
public works were made, in ten years the revenues would
be doubled. The Provithaeal Government of Greece has
been attempting to borrow mooey, and it is supposed that
humus her treasury is empty, that money is necessarily
required. Greece wants confidence in herself. While
Greece is unable to pay the army and her servants the
menet dna my eight mouths, the taxes are overdue for
twelve months and eighteen month'. The taxes in Greece
are peonliar—they are our-tenth in kind on all the produce
of the earth, and the waters under the earth, even the
fisheries ; and 15 pee Dent. more from the land belonging
to the government, and nearly all, ray four-fifths of the
land, does or ought to belong to the govei °meet. Cedar
various pretexts, the humors of the are always in
azrear. In conclusion, the committee trusts that it has
shown that it has been faithful to its trust ; that in the
days of Otho it sought to obtain • hearing; failing, it
, applied itself to the press ; and, on the inXerregstist, it
continued to urge the settlement of this debt ; and that it
has now placed before the bondholders proofs that there
exists in Greece the means, even at this time, to pay • I
small interest on the debt, and the elements, at a future time,
when the resources of the country are developed, for paying
a much larger. It must not be forgotten that the whole el
the revenues are pledged for the payment of the interest,
and this is a prior claim to the loan guaranteed by the
three powers; and the whole of the four-fifths of the
land in the country is mortgaged to the boodholders,
and the sale of any portion of it is invalid, unless it can be
shown that • portion of the debt was cancelled at the same
time.
