A lad mussed &way. whose name was on the back of the
bill of indictment, was called by the Recorder at the close
of INr. Clarksoa's address, the pro,keution having refused
to tall his, and he stated ho had been in the prisoner's
service, and recollected his mistress injuring the hand in
question by a jam in a door.
The jury acquitted the prisoner.
Mr. O'Brien said their reason for not calling Stacey was
that they had been instructed that he had been tampered
with by prisoner's friends.
The Recorder said he had no doubt they had acted in
accordance with their instructions, and in some cues it was
proper_ net to call certain witnesses, but in this instance
the lad bad all along told the same story, and therefore re-
fusing to call him was shameful and scandalous on the pert
of the prosecution.

all pretty well drunk. The last house they had been drink-
ing at was the Liverpool Arms, Hateliff. Shortly after-
wards they were all four seen in Pump-yard, Ratcliff.
Shortly after that the police were called to them, and then
deceased (Brebar) WAS found to have been stabbed. lie was
taken to the hospital, where he was found to have a deep
wound in the chest. Prisoner was insensibly drunk at the
time. Wheat it was found that deceased was dying his de-
position was taken in prisoner's presence, and a was to the
effect that as they were going along
,prisoner drew his knife
—a seaman's common knife - and kept flourishing it about,
saying, " See how I will serve the mate if he says anything
when I get on board," and that he shortly afterwards was
stabbed by prisoner in the back.
The prisoner in his defence said he was so drunk he knew
nothing about the affair.
A witness was called, who said prisoner was a very sober,
kind man.
The jury found him Guilty.

arrive respecting the future guardianship of 'lbis Talbot, he
could venture to say one thing without the least hesitation
or fear of contradiction—that whoever might be the person
who should he appointed by his lordship, certainly that per-
son would not be Mr. Craven Iterkeley.
Mr J. Parker, on the part of Lord and Lady Shrewsbury,
said it was impossible that any communication could have
been made with them, as they were abroad at the present
time. They could only be desirous, however, that the young
lady should be properly taken care of, and her interests
legally protected. He, on their part, fully concurred in the
petition which had been presented by Dr. Doyle. I I there were
any circumstances left in obscurity respecting this young
lady, it would thenbecome his lordship's business mace that
she should be properly represented in that court. The case
being now before the court, he thought himself perfectly at
liberty to turn round upon Mr. Berkeley, who had put Into
the mouth of the young lady charges of a most calumnious
° nature against Lord and Lady Shrewsbury. The charges
were the pure invention of Mr. Berkeley, made for the pur-
-1 pose of gratifying some feeling that he had against his
di. nts. His lordship could make no order on his petition
1 without convicting Lord and Lady Shrewsbury of improper
conduct. The young lady was now sufficiently protected
Iby the court. Ile hoped the petition would be dismissed,
and hoped that any atom of offensive matter which had not
been proved in evidence should be ordered by his lordship
to he expunged, in order that such matter might not remain
in the records of the court. He cited two eau's of "Gies-
' cott r. Lang" and " Ferraday r. Robson" (both in 2 Phil-
lips's Reports) es authority for dismissing the petition with
costs by reason of the false charges made and abandoned at
the bar. Nowhere in the affidavits had it been stated that
the school at Taunton was an improper place, or that Lord
and Lady Shrewsbury had been guilty of any neglect
towards the young Indy. Mr. Berkeley, in 1843, wished
; to have a voice in the education of this young lady ; but in
his affidavit he never said one word respecting the convent
being au improper place, but only wished au alteration in
• the allowance; At never complained of the school in any
manner whatever. The learned gentleman was proceeding
in his argument when the court ruse, and the further hear-
was adjourned.

HAUT O. TI7I.E.—Ma. WYLD'S MOIAL OF THE. EARTH IN
London, England, 1851-04-01

By Mr. Ballantine—He would not undertake to say that
he made a correct measurement of the foot marks. He
made them as correctly as he could, considering the state of
the gravel.
Hollington re-called—The length of one of the feet was
nine inches and three quarters, and the width three inches,
and the length of the other was nine inches and a half, and
the width three and three quarters.
Biddlecomb re-examined—l measured the feet of Levi
Harwood and Smith with a shoemaker's rule. He called
out the particulars to Kendall, and he took them down.
Kendall was recalled to prove that the size of the feet of
Smith and Levi Ilarwood corresponded almost exactly with
the footprints that were in the garden.
Hide a sergeant of police, produced the cord jacket that
had tern alluded to, and also a powder-busk, which he had
found in a box belonging to the prisoner Samuel Harwood.
Mrs. Holiest re-called—The small satin cap that has been
produced is my property. The work-box was the property
of my servant. The cloak was hanging in the ball on the
night of the burglary.
Phis closed the ease for the prosecution.
The learned counsel fur the prisoners then severally ad-
dressed the jury at considerable length, and, after observ-
ing that the evidence which had been adduced, independent
of the testimony of the accomplice, was clearly insufficient
to convict the prisoners of the serious crime with which
they were charged, then proceeded to contend that the
evidence of Smith was utterly unworthy of belief, and
that it was clear from all the facts of the case, coupled with
the positive testimony of Mrs. Holiest, that he was the man
who actually committed the oturder. His object evidently
was to get the reward, but as it was necessary that he should
make nut that he was not the man who actually fired the
shot, be had made up this story and had endeavoured
to tix the crime which he had himself committed
upon other parties. They submitted that what had been
relied upon as corroborative of his evidence in point of fact
was no corroboration of his story at all, for all the circum-
stances that had been deposed to were brought to his know-
ledge by the examination of the witnesses when he was
himself under charge, and it was very easy fur him
to dovetail his evidence to the testimony that
was so given. As regarded the prisoner Samuel Ilarwood, it
was urged that he, at all events, was not proved to have had
any intention of resorting to violence, and that he was
proved not to have been present when the fatal shot was fired.
[The case was proceeding when our parcel was despatched,
and was not likely to he finished until seven or eight
o'clock. A further report will, if passible, be given in •

LLICESTEK-SQUARE.
This was the petition of parties interested under the will
of Mr. Charles Augustus Tulk (whose property is in the
course of administration in the above suit), seeking the ap-
probation of the court to an agreement which had been
entered into (subject to the court's approval) for permit-
ting Mr. Wyld to erect a building in the centre of Leicester-
'quart., and to exhibit therein a large model of the earth, as
well as to use (if he thought fit) other parts of the building
as a winter garden, or for the exhibition of objects of inte-
rest in science or art, and other purposes sio.eiticti in the
petition. The parties interested under the late Mr. Talk's
will claimed, under certain covenants entered into by former
owners of the freehold of the garden in the centre of the
square, to be entitled to restrain the use of it for any other
purpose than that of an ornamental garden, and they had
enforeul this right in a suit of.' Tulk v. %allay," the result
of which was that the square bad ever since remained in the
most unsightly and neglected state.
It wart stated that the to.tator's estate was subject to a
covenant to keep the square in order, and that applications
had been made by the covenantee requiring the garden to
be put in repair at the expense of the testator's estate, hut
that the covenantee concurred in the proposed arrange-
ment, under which also the testator's estate would have
certain options of purchasing the square garden after ten
years.
Mr. Malins and Mr. Shebbeare supported the petition.
Mr. Elmsley, Mr. Daniel, and Mr. Cottrell, consented
for other parties.
The Vice-Chancellor made the order, subject to the pro-
duction of au affidavit stating that the proposed agreement
was for the benefit of the estate.

day of the whole of the troops quartered in garrison, which
attracted fumy thousonds of persons. The troops were re-
viewed by tile Marquis ot• Anglesey, who was attended ou
the um anion by a brilliant staff of officers. The corps
of the Honourable Artillery Company mustered very
numerously in front of the Armoury in the City-
road, and went through a variety of evolutions under
the cooimand of Lieut.-Col. ILmry Fitzroy. At the Tower
a royal salute was tin-d during the afternoon, and the cm-
ployiis ill the London Ducks were granted a holiday and a
day's joy in honour of the occasion. The theatres at which
entertainments were gis en, were well attended. The :fa •
tional Anthem was .I.maudel at all of them, the audience
joining in chorus with enthusiasm. In the evening Tower-
bill presented the animated appearance usual upon th • an-
niversary, there being several thousand persons present on
the western side of the fortress facing the Old Queen's

hundreds of gaily dressed individuals.
The illuminations in the West-end of the houses of the

Our correspondent writes as follows :
FRANKFORT-ON-TILE-MAINE, MAT 30.
Formally opened on the lath of the month, the
German Diet holds to-day its first sitting fur business, and
with this act closes the circle in which the affairs of Ger-
many have b...-en moving since the days of March ISIS.
The old Diet exists again, in the same shape, and in several
instances in the persons, of the same worn-out, toothless,
pigtail-wearing diplomatists of the old school. The figure's
of several are in truth so ridiculous and uncouth, their
garments smack so completely of a byegone age, that the
spectator is compelled to laugh at the ides of their being
capable of founding, still less of maintaining, a vigorous
rule in Germany. Such as they are, the thirty-four repre-
sentatives of the government• of Germany are at this
instant sitting in soletuu conclave for the lint
time since they committed suicide iu 1818.
The commencement of their second career is an
apt illustration of their nature. They will to-day re-

_
SATURDAT EvENIIIO. • I
The mining share market dining the week has
continued to suffer from the depression noticed in
our last review, business having been very dull, with
scarcely the least disposition to operate, so that few
shares have been saleable except at considerably re-
duced prices. Various causes combine to pr.oduce
this effect, but the chief reason of the prevailing dul-
ness is that referred to by us on a former occasion,
that the market has been quite overdone by the
large number of new schemes which have of late
been brought out, without due consideration as
to the ability of the mining public to sup-
port them. Enterprise is at all times very
apt to prove contagious, and is no description of
undertakings is this more observable than in mines,
I as the starting and successful prosecution of two or
three adventures is always made the medium of in-
troducing
a host of other schemes to the public.
Many of the new undertakings promise well, but
others are believed by well informed people to be I
utterly worthless; still each and every one of these,
has made its proportionate demand upon the means
of mining capitalists. The aggregate amount in-
volved being very considerable, sales nave been made
for some time pa.st ; and as many parties are doubt-
less watching the market with a view to realisation
and meeting their liabilities arising out of the new
schemes, a general flatness
.prevails. The public, it
is well known, always sells in a depressed market and
buys in a rising one, so that there is a complete ab-
sence of demand. The improved rates which are now
obtainable for money also operate as a check to min-
ing generally, and the. increased movement ob,erv•
able in the railway share market m iy be regard'A as
a sign that speculation has at present opened up an-
other channel.

FRANCE.

PARIS, SATCRDAT Eva:ft:so.
The result of the important sitting of to-day has
been that the project of the committee on the propo-
sitions of Moulin and Morin has been adopted with
one modification. The clause fixing the appointment
of the committee at eight days from the presentation
of the firs: motion has been dropped, and the delay
left undetermined. But as the appointment of the
committee was not placed, at the close of the sitting.
on the order of the day for Monday, it cannot take
place in the bureaux until Tuesday. which
will be probably the day fixed. tho most
remarkable feature of the sitting was the universal
reluctance to resort to a division, the names and
numbers of which would have appeared in the 211.ni-
tear. All the votes, therefore, took place by assis et
lerie. The minority, therefore, cannot be stated with
accuracy, but was estimated at very little more than
one-fourth of the house, as several members of the
Moderate Led voted with the majority. Dufaure
in particular was noticed as rising with the majo-
rity, whilst Cavaignac voted on the other side. Two
motions for revision were presented after the vote
on the committce's project : that of the Club of the
Rue des Pyramides, such as I have already sent it,
and that of M. Payer, which I sent peter*.
The President will start from Pans to-night upon
his journey to Dijon, and will pass the night at Sens.
He will he accompanied by MM. Leon Faucher,
minister of the interior, aud*General Random, minis-
ter of war. The President and ministers will be re-
ceived at the Archbishop's palace. To-morrow, at
half-past 5, another train will start, conveying M.
Dupre, president of the Assembly, Fould, minis-
ter of finance, and M. Magne, minister of public
works. The morning train will pick up the rresi-
I dent at Sens.

The Club of the Pyramides decided last night
upon maintaining the form given in their last sitting
to their motion for revision, and as such it was laid
on the table of the Assembly to-day by M. de
Broglie. They agreed to refer all other questions
touching the revision to the committee on 3loulin's
propoeition. To-day the Assembly entered upon the
discussion of the motions of MM. %loulin and Morin,
relative to the procedure to be adopted with regard to

The late rumour in regard to the evacuation of

the council, including two Americans, had been
elected for the term of one year. The tact was re-
garded by the inhabitants with great satisfaction, as
the first bitp towards the relinquishment by the
British of the guardianship of the place.
The subject of a new constitution is engaging the

have been adopted as a basis. complaints are made

THE POLICE COURTS.

Work-
house, k
Hr. John Henry Eaton' A%or the master of St. Pancras -
house, was again examined on a charge of criminally as-
saulting Eliza Smith, aged 16, an inmate of the workhouse. j
For some time prior to the opening of the court numerous
parties attended iu the passage anxious to be present to hear
the proceedings, and by twelve o'clock the place was crowded
by respectably dressed persons. The parish authorities
were in attendance, with Mr. Cooke, the vestry clerk of St.
Pancras.
The following additional evidence was adduced :
George l'hilip Lamb deposed that he was porter at St.
Patteras Workhouse. The accused was the master of that
establishment. Knew the prosceutrix. In the latter part
of January, at about half. past three o'clock, to the best of
his recollection, she went out with the muster. It was in
the afternoon. The master returned at a quarter, twenty
minutes, or half-past eight o'clock in the evening, in the
first instance alone. Witness maned the door to hint. Mr.
Eaton asked if the girl Eliza Smith had come in, or some-
thing to that effect.
Mr. Ballantine suggested for him to repeat what he said
in the first person.
Witness—lle mid, "lave you seen the girl Smith, or
has the girl Smith come in." I said, " No, sir." Ile op-
peered as if he had suddenly missed the girl. He turned
round and went from the gate, crossed over the road by the
timber yard just opposite the workhouse. Ile returned in
about two minutes. Witness then closed the gate. Ile re-
tamed again iu about two minutes. The girl Eliza Smith
was with him. Mr. Eaton made no remark. The South-

Mr. Locke applied fur a consent for this TRW to be post-
poned as a remanet to the neat court day in May, without
prejudice to the writ of prohibition in the Court of Queen's
Bench; and the subpccuas to squid good for the postpone-

The Recorder said his band was tied by the prohibition,
and he could do nothing.
Mr. Randall, who was counsel for the other side, said,
being junior counsel, he could nut consent to any arrange-
ment ; perhaps the senior counsel might.
Mr. Locke said it was precisely the arrangement made
on a former occasion.
The Recorder said he could not take any steps in it, but
he thought it a reasonable and wise arrangement.
The matter then dropped.

further orders. A short time back the widow again applied
that the money might be paid to her; and the rule now
same on for argument.
Mr. Cooke appeared for Mrs. Hooker ; Mr. Nichols and
Mr. Cresswell fur the crislitors' assignee ; and Mr. Edmund I'
Law for the provisional assignee.
Mr. Cooke said the mousy had no business to be in court.
The widow was, however, anxious to do what was right,
and offered now what she had offered at the first, namely,
to give one-third of the fund to the creditors, which would
be 4:41. 9s. Sd. She would also gise 201. additional. The
debts ascertained under the insolvency were 5681. is 10d.
The creditors' assignee had commenced a suit in Chancery
which was now pending.
The Chief Commissioner suggested, to put an end to the
Chancery suit, that half should go to the widow.
Mr. Nichols at once agreed to the suggestion.
Mr. Cooke objected to such a course, as the widow would
then have to pay the debts in full, and the costs of what
they considered vexatious proceedings. The widow would
leave the ascertained amount of the debts in court. She
would only get one-half, and the next of kin the other half.
Mr. Nichols contended that the bill in Chancery was not
a vexatious proceeding, but a very proper one for the distri-
bution of the assets. The provisional assignee did not hold
the money as officer of this court, and if the court made an
erroneous order on him it would not protect him.
After some discussion on the matter, and after it had oc-
copied some time, an arrangement was made for the benefit
of all parties, by which the expense of a Chancery suit
would be avoided. It was arranged that the amount of the
• debts under the insolvency--5681. ia. 10d.—should remain
in court, and the remainder of the fund be paid to Mrs.
Hooker, and that the bill in Chancery should be dismissed
before the 10th May next. Thus ended this singular case
• of an insolvency which occurred seventeen years ago.

LOMBARDY.

The municipality of Milan resigned en maw, to
avoid rendering homage to the emperor on his visit
to the Lombard capital.

NORWAY.

More communist disturlxinees have taken place in
Norway. At Drontheim, on the 16th ult., about
300 persons assembled in front of 1111 hotel, in which
the respectable inhabitants of the town were having
a ball, m honour of the queen's birthday, and began
crying " Down with the burghers!" They after-
wards sent a volley of stones against the windows,
and not only broke every pone, but injured several
persons in the room; one lady was seriously cut in
the head, another in the breast. The rioters then
attempted tofurec their way into the bull-room, but the
gentlemen resisted them, and succeeded in driving
them into the street. A detachment of soldiers came
up, and arrested some of the rioters. The latter dis-
persed about town, and broke the windows of several
houses. It was not until two o'clock that order was
completely re-established. The next eveniag the
disturbances were renewed, and were of u more
serious character. About 1,0(k) persons assembled
and were proceeding to dill'erent acts of %iolene•,
when the police and the military appeared. The
former summoned the people to disperse, and caused
the Riot Act to be read. The crowd, however, re-
fused to go away, whereupon the military charged
them three times. The people resisted, and four na-
tional guards were cut in the head with sharp in-
struments. Several regiments of cavalry and artil-
lery were accordingly marched into the town from
the adjacent garrisons, and, after some time, suc-
ceeded in re-establishing order. All suspected houses
were minutely searched, and about 329 rioters were
arrested. At Mcldal, three leagues &mu Prontheim,
there were also serious disturbances, but they were
-ut down.

FRANCE,

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Each of the clubs which represent the three main
sections of the majority has appointed commissioners
to confer upon the most advisable means of termi-
nating the ministerial interregnum. The legitimist
Club of the Rue de Itivoli has appointed MM. Benoist
d'Azy and Kerdrel; the" Fusionist " Club of the Rue
de l'Universite MM. Moulin and Vita ; the Club of
the Rue des iyramides, MM. Fould, Baroche, and
Abatucci.
The committee on the Municipal Bill livs adopted
to-day, after an animated debate, a resolution de- !
ciding on the mode of electing mayors, who are to be
chosen by the municipal councils, and the highest
taxed citizens of the commune.
The proceedings of the Assembly to-day were en-
tirely devoid of interest. The discussion of the re-
maining articles of the bill on hospitals was adjourned
in consequence of a vote, suggested by M. Dutincre,
upon the composition of the administrative com-
mittees. After rejecting a motion of M. intrude for
disqualifying representatives from receiving the de-
coration of the Legion of Honour, the house broke
up. The first rending of the National Guard Bill
has been adjourned.
The Cwirtitutionnel contains a long and bitter
attack upon the British government's policy towards
Brazil, and accusing England, under pretence of re-
pressing the slave-trade, of a desire to ruin the Bra-
zilian coast-trade fur the profit of her own commerce,
and says that the least that France can do under the'
circumstances is to encourage Brazil with her lively
sympathies to persevere in courageous resistance to
such tyranny.
M. i3uizot is on the point of publishing a series of

SWITZERLAND.

The following letter, from the Canton of Neuf-
chatel, appears in the Journal de Genire:
On Saturday, about ten o'clock at night, SUM serious dis-
turbances broke out at La Chaumde-Fonds. A band of
radicals, pretending that one of their party had been as-
saulted by some royalists, and that the latter had taken
refuge in a consertive club, went to the place and attempted
to break in the door. Finding their efforts unavailing, they
smashed all the windows with atone:. During this seem of
devastation a cry was raised, " Let us give a charivari to
the prefect," and the rioters proceeded immediately to
the residence of that functionary, where they commenced
hooting and crying "Down with the prefect." About
midnifht the crowd dispersed. On Sunday evening
the disturbances were renewed in front of the Hotel de
Ville. The gendarmes were attacked, and a lieutenant
of that force had his epaulette torn from him, and
an assault was also made on Major Courvoisier. The
members of the Society of Grutli were the first to begin the
disturbances by leaving a public-houw, where they had
been carousing, singing " Vivent lee Rouges. a bas hs
Blanes." A letter from Chaux-de-Fonds sacs that general
indignation is felt by the inhabitants against the rioters.
They only numbered about 30, added to which there were
from 300 to 400 collected from curiosity. On Monday a
company of militia were on duty, and it was thought that
the disturbances would not be renewed.

Tae CUMBEHLAND FISHING CASE.—The fiulting
ease, to which considerable importance has been attached,
and which has been several times before the magistrates at
Penrith, has, webelieve, been finally disposed of. Opinions
have been obtained by Mr. Milner and Mr. Hassell, in ac-
cordance with the understanding between the solicitors em-
ployed at the last adjournment, which go to show that an
I individual angling for trout in a fresh-water river with
leave of a landowner or occupier has a legal right to do so.
It will thus be seen that Mr. Jameson's objections fell to
the ground; so that, the question being now disposed of.
after full inquiry and consideration, anglers need not be
ender any apprehension of further prosecutions under the
Uwe, Act, if they have proper leave. Cumberkinct

Defendant was about to enter into an explanation of his
grievance, when the magistrate said he had nothing to do
with the difference between the complainant and defendant,
he must take measures for the preservation of the peace.
He therefore sentenced him to pay a tine of 205., and an
default suffer 10 days imprisonment.
Mr. O'Connor said it was lucky the police had come up
as they did, or he shoald have given defendant such a
"flabbergasting" as he never had before in hie life.
