THAMES,

Timothy Lucy, a registered coal-whipper,was charged
en informations taken out by Mr. John Barber, the regis-
trar, under the act that being the basket man of a gang
of cost.whippen, and having signed a contract on the part
of himself and eight others, to deliver 410 tons of coals from
the Neptune, refused to do iv when required.
At one of their recent meetings the registered coal-
whippers, being disgusted with the failure of their attempt
to coerce employers into giving their prices, rewired to
take the price offered by the masters ; but, in return, to
unship no more than 49 toils per diem; whereas the bye-
laws mentioa 98 tons as a bye work, and gangs have been
known to discharge 200 tons in that time.
The fact that only 49 tons had been discharged on the
day now in question, was admitted.
Mr. Furnivall, a arrister, urged that the commissioners
bad no right to make the bye-law, which, therefore, formed
no part of the contract.
This objection having been overruled, the learned gentle-
man said the men were weak with hunger, and could per-
form no more work than they had done.
Mr. Yardley said that the men had deliberately entered
into a contract, which it was shown they had refused to
fulfil. _ . . . .

Mr. Furnivall—l hope, sir, you will never be placed in
the position of these poor men, and be compelled to work
hungry.
Mr. Yardley—That observatioa is very improper, and I
am astonished it should come from a gentleman who calls
himself a barrister ; but whilst I am on this bench I shall
not permit anything offensive.
Mr. Furnivall—lf you view the observation in that light
tat once retract it,
Mr. Yardley—lt is evident that these men entered deli-
berately into a contract, which they refused to falfil. lam
sorry they have adopted so ill-advised • course; and for
their own sakes, as well as that of tho public, I must im-
pose, by way of example, a heavy penalty, more especially
as defendant was the leader of the gang. As it is the first
case, I shall not inflict the full amount (51.), but it shall be
little short of the maximum.

Lucy—l am like a man who u hung to-day and heard to-
=mow. The a..l•owncrs at Billingsgate think more of
their coals than of human labour and human wants.
Mr. Yardley—l have heard all that your counsel could
urge, and you must pay a fine of 31. or be imprisoned for
21 days.

The United States Senate, in committee of the
whole house, have conditionally agreed to the amend-
ment in the Deficiency Bill giving 33,000 dollars a
trip to the Collins line of steamers. The understand-
ing is that further amendments will be offered when
the bills finally reported to the Senate.

nounce that the Mexican Congress was still en-
gaged
in discussing the Tehuantepec question. I
e Mexicans now demand two million of dollars
for right of way. Business was very dull at Vera
Cruz. The answer of the government to the
merchants of Vera Cruz in relation to their claims
produced dissatisfaction, and disturbances were ap-
prehended. A conducts of 1,400,000 dollars left
Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 24th of April. From
Washington we learn that Congress made a move
towards the establishment of the Texan boundary,
for which some two hundred thousand dollars is asked.

RUSSIA.

--- -----
The Emperor of Russia gave a grand dinner at
the Palace of Larianki, at Warsaw, on the 28th ult.,
to various persons of the city. In the evening, he
went to visit Prince Frederick Alexander of Prussia.
Both then proceeded t.gether to the theatre, and
at their entrance the whole audience rose to receive
them. The Prince of Warsaw accompanied the im-
perial party.
'fhe following imperial ukase was published at
St. Petersburgh on tie 22d alt :
Our desire has alsays keen that the Polish nobility of
the western governments of Kowno, Wilma, Ormlne, Minsk,
Welhynia, Podolia, and Kiew, should he admitted to rival
in seal the nobility of Great Russia (of all religions), by
manifesting sentiments of fidelity and devotednes in our
victorious army, or in civil functions. But to our
great regret our hopes have not been realised. With
some rate exceptions, which have merit, praise, and
thank., the greater portion of the young nobility
reined idle, and avoid entirely the public service.
These feelings. which are so contrary to the duties
of a gentleman, can no longer be tolerated. In consequence,
we decree as fellows :-Ist. The sons of noble landowners
in the abovementioned governments, who are not of the
Greek religion, and who do not possess less thus 100 serfs,
are to be enrolled for military service at the age of 18, to
be incorporated in regiments with the grade of ensign if
they have undergone an examination, or as soldiers with
the right attached to nobility; 2. Those who enter the
service voluntarily at the 16th or 18th years of age, may
chose the regiment in which they desire to serve, but they
must undergo an examination.
The ukase contains four other paragraphs relative
to the civil services, which gives exemption from
military service to members of the nobility. By
another ukase the Jewish communes, who are in
arrears of taxes, are bound to pay 2,000 rubles for a
recruit.

The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by oar government stocks at pre-
sent prices. To render the results strictly accurate,
the proportion of interest which may have accrued
since last dividend period should in each case be
taken into account. It should also be remembered
that the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. becomes a

MB. VILLIERS'S MOTION.

The motion to be put upon the books of the House
of Commons by Mr. C. P. Villiers should assuredly
alarm that the present prosperous condition of the
country—more especially that of the working
elemes—mainly arises from the repeal of the tax
upon breads and that gentleman will doubtless call
upon the House of Commons to declare the wisdom
mod jigsaw of the Act of 1846 which established the
free admisaion of foreign corn. That the repeal of
the corn laws wee both wise andjust, Radicals, Whigs,
and halite* must all cheerfully admit
The house should surely be called upon to com-
plete the good workby a formal affirmation of opinion,
that the maintenance of tho free trade policy will
best enable the industrious portion of the nation to
sustain the burthen of taxation—and that that
policy is best calculated to advance the prosperity
and contentment of the people. After Mr. Disraeli's
free trade declarations, and, the recent speech of
Earl Derby, neither of those ministers can well
make out a case against so sound a sentiment.
Having gained from the House of Commons a
formal vote in favour of free trade—and having put
the protectionists into a minority—men of all par-
ties will be reedy to give fair consideration to what•
ever propositions—ministerial or otherwise—may
next claim national attention.

A great deal of rain has fallen at Manchester and
in the neighbourhood during the past fortnight, and parti-
cularly during last week, Some of the heaviest falls last
week were in the night: a good deal falling in the day

the night. The river Irwell has been much swollen, bat
not so as much to overflow its banks or do serious mischief.
The fall have been heavy at Holmfirth, the scene of the

THE POLICE COURTS.

I[AT4SION-110U811.

John Harris, a cab-driver, was charged before the Lord
Mayor on suspicion of havink been concerned in the stealing
of 1.7001. u orth of goods at Messrs. Denali, iroaassagen, at
the corner of Monument-yard.
The premises are ordinarily locked up at night, and left,
so permit lodging therein, end about seven o'clock on
Thursday morning the person who opened the premises in
Mu ordinary course found they had bus ransacked daring
On night. The entrance appear, to have been effected by
ese man helping soother on his shoulders to reach the
espial/ over the shop-front, and so getting in at the Ant
door window in Arthur-street. The thieves quitted in the
like manner, by the window, as may be inferred by a gold
watch bring left on the coping.
City Pulice-olieer, Kr 6, stated that, on Thursday morn-
ing, between half-put one and two o'clock he NSW the pri-
soner strzl.ng on the kerb of Arthur-street East, and by
the si Ie in a cab, which was draws up to the pavement.
He to..k the precaution of ascertaining hum number, and then
desired him to drive away. Accompanied by a man, the
primmer jumped on the box and drove away.
Webb, the detective °Seer, deposed that, by knowing the
asialwr of the cab, he was enabled to trace the prisoner to
hie lodgings iu the Old Kent-rued, where he found him on
Thursday forenoon in bed fast asleep, which he ascertained
to be a very 1 thing for him at that time of day.
The Lord Mayor asked the primer wheelie had to say.
Prisoner said he would like to ask the *Meer who took
the .umber of the cab whether he was oars it was bl far
hew there. _ _

?M omeer get .... the box and swore that the prisoner
wee the men.
_ . . _ _

Prirrin:r--Then, if I am the man, in which hand did I
hold the whi? when I drove an
W6cer-1 can't my exactly, but I think it was in your
right hand.
Pik/seer (smiling)—Alt, that you are wrong, it was in
lay left hand; I own I was there.
The Lord Mayor—Then, if you wen there, explain who
your oompanioas were.
Prisoner—l know nothing at all about it ; all I knew is
that I had a drop too much to drink.
The Lin Mayor said the circumstances were eslikiest to
justify him in remanding the prisoner until to-day.
It seems that about the period the prisoner was ordered
off two men were observed prowling about the spot. The
*Meer desired them to move away, and, having watched
t►em till out of sight, the officer proceeded on his beat.

an advance of 71. during the week. The prices at
which actual sales have been concluded are thus re-

So much progress was made yesterdaT in the

BIRMINGHAM.

Our correspondent at Birmingham, writing yes-
terday, says—. The shock ul the earthquake seems to have
been felt in the neighbourhood of this town. A gentleman
cuddle'? at Bataan Heath (in Mary-street), states that the
sheds lasted from six to eight second% and that along with
considerable vibration there were subterranean sounds. At
Edghaston, too, similar phenomena were observed by per
suns lying in bed, but no mischief was does, neither does
tho occurrence appear to have been generally noticed."

WORCESTER.
This city and the neighbouring towns were visited
by a phenomenon of this nature on Tues.lay morning about
4 o'clock. There is some little discrepancy in the time given
by different persons as to the exact period of the shock, which
leads to the belief that more than ore must have occurred.
The shock or shocks awoke the greater part of the inhabit-
ants, and occasioned much consternation. There was a
vibration or undulation of the ground, and a rumbling
noise preceded and accompanied each shock, although it was
perfectly calm at the time. At several houses in this city the
bells were heard to jingle, fire-irons rattle, and candlesticks
and other articles were upset, and, fortunately, it appears
that nothing more serious resulted. The same effect seems
to have been experienced at the different towns in the
county, especially at Malvern, Kidderminster. and Bewilley.
For several days previously the weather here hod been mat
unseasonably ee and oppressive,so much so that on Sunday
night the thermometer did nut fall below 56! a point high
enough for the dog•days, and a great deal of rani fell, caus-
ing a great flood on the Severn.
Oa the mornind of the shocks not a breath of wind was
stirring, and the weather still sultry. The weather has
sine* changed, being now very cold end dull. According tii
accounts received, similar shocks) appear to have ,been
felt throughout the country at about the same period of
time.
