SOUTIIIVARIC.

Four young fellows, named West, Joncs,ritiltr, and
Coo/.re, dr..s.al in canvas trousers and shirts, were elnaged
with creating a disturbance in St. George's Workhouseaind
tearing off their clothing.
Mr. Itobitison, the master of the workhouse, said the
prisoners were ;Omitted into the casual ward on the pre-
vious night with very good clothes on them. After being
supplied with fund they were left to themselves ; but
during the night they aroused the whole of the inmates,
and created such a disturbance that witness was com-
pelled to obtain assistiutee and go to their ward. When he
arrived there he found the prisoners dancing about the
room naked, and that they -had turn their clothing to
shreds. After some difficulty, witness, with the assistance
of several constables, prevented their committing further
disturbance, and having supplied them with the garments
they then wore, he gave them into custody.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners said tlwir clothes
wen• full of vermin, and in such a state that they not
bear themselves, and being refused others they certainly did
grumble.
Mr. Robinson said, West and Jones had been punished
before fir similar conduct—in fact, when tiny entered the
workhouse they always incited othors to cm.te a riot.
Mr. Alkekett committed West and Junes for one month
each, and \ldler and Cooper for 21 days to the lionise of
Correcting, with hard labour.

because he seemed to evade the subject. When with( sit
went into the once he found three desks broken open. Pri-
soner told him he came to the office at 20 minutes to nine,
and the laundress had told him everything was perfectly
safe. The last person left in the room on Saturday was the
prisoner.
Eliza Tarrant, the laundrci,, stated that about seven on
Monday morning she went to office, No. 9, to prepare it for
the clerics ; everything was then safe. About eight she left
it, having placed everything in order. At ten minutes to
nine she saw the defendant go to his room. Having occa-
sion to go there, eie saw him, when he said to tier, "we
shall soon want a new poker ; " and then added, "somebody
has broken open the desks." Witness said she left every-
thing safe at eight o'clock. He replied that he had come at
halt pat eight, and found the desks open, but assigned no
re aeon for coming so early. Witness observed that the poker
was nut where she left it, but laying 'down inside the
fender ; the chairs were out of place, and papers strewed
about. Saw no one there before Mr. Price.
Maria Ferran, barmaid at a public-house frequented by
defendant, deposed to having changed a lot. note for de-
fendant at twelve at noon on Saturday la 4.
Police-constable F SO, said that pri,oner was brought up
at Bow-stre,t on Monday morning for beine drunk, and
then got 1k ita,..A to change a 101. note to enable him to pay

covered.

COURT OF QUEEN^S BENCH.

RI W. 11. B.utpri.::::fuDem;;;LßErttigu. OF !HZ

COI'LLT TO °KANT CEXTITICATE.
Lord Campbell this morning delivered the judgment in
this ease, which was argued daring the last term on a re-
newed application upon additional affidavits fur leave to
take out and renew the certificate authorising Mr. Barber
to practice as an attorney. It will be recollected that the
Court of Queen's Bench hail on a former occasion .
refined the application. His lordship said the court'.
had carefully considered the affidavits and the
judgment of the court given on the former applica-
tion. and they saw no reason to disturb that de-
cision; although he, the learned judge, was not a member
of the court at the time that decision was given, he entirely
concurred in the opinion expressed by the learned judges
who heard the rase. Ile thought Mr. Barber was chargeable
' with being wilfully blind, if he was not aware of the forge-
ries which had been practised, and was therefore, under
the circumstances, unfit to practice as an attorney. The
explanation of the convict Fletcher, in exculpation of
Barber, was not entitled to much consideration, and un- '
fortunately the applicant, iu his new affidavit, admitted
sufficient to confirm the court in the belief that he hail not
acted with due caution, or made the necessary inquiries
relative to the conduct and motives of Fletcher, and the
court had strong reason to believe that he must have been
aware of these motives, and not so entirely ignorant of the
frauds practised as he (Barber) would lead the court to
believe. Under these circumstances the court must finally
refuse the application.—Rulo refused accordingly.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY.

The June general session of the peace for the county of
Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessions House,
Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeaut Adams, the assistant
judge, Mr. Witham, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Woodward, Mr.
Brooking, &c. There arc forty-nine cases of felony, and
one of misdemeanour, fur trial.
The Learned Judge, in the course of a very short charge
to the grand jury, remarked that the Great Exhibition had
mocked all expectation with regard to the increase in the
numbers of cases of pocketpicking that every body had been
• forward to, as one of its consequences. He never
remaabered the calendar of prisoners for trial at any les
sion to be lighter than that for the prams maim, there
being but little more than half the mod umber of poison-

A decree in the 17a:rlie unites the general du.' ee-

The a. .intment of the Marquis de Viluma, chief

dent of the Senate. has tended to weaken public con-
fidence in the ministry. The party of Narvaez con-
spire with unflagging activity against the cabinet.
Sartorius has been received at a private interview by
Queen Christina ; and Ventura de la Vega has
started upon a secret mission to Paris, with des-
patches from Count San Luis to Nereus. Hence,
rumours arc rife of a ministerial crises.
The Hera/do has been acquitted in its second trial,
as well as in the first, while the Clamor has been
condemned. The students arc not yet pacified, and
will neither return to lectures nor pay the newly
imposed fees. There have been disturbances also in
Granada, and the discontent of many provinces at
their increased expenditure tends to augment the
feeling of insecurity. On the whole, the situation is
full of anomalies and difficulties, which will present
a still more formidable array on the opening of the
Cortes.

ITALY.
PIEDMONT.

The Piedniontese Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes
the treaties of navigation and commerce concluded
between Sardinia and the kingdoms of Great Britain
and Belgium. The former is to determine at the ex-
piration of twelve years, the latter is to last only
eight. Both treaties establish perfect reciprocity of
commercial intercourse, on the footing of the most
favoured nations. The same paper publishes a law,
placing the nbunti di pieta of the island of Sardinia
ender the direction of the government; and another,
granting 89,837 f. for the establishment of two tele-
graphic wires between Turin and Genoa, according
to the system of Brett.

by that means damage resulted to any individual, he was

The plaintiffs in this ease were publishers, and the de-

THIS DAY.

Two o'Ciocz.
The railway share market is decidedly drooping
to-day. The business offering is not large, and
scarcely any disposition to pureha.e is manifested.
The South Eastern traffic, it is known, turns out
less favourable than sanguine holders had antici-
pated, and apprehensions relative to the amount of
the general receipts being revived and made the most
of, prices of all tho chief descriptions have taken a
lower range. The absence of ntany of the leading
members of the house, to whom Ascot holds out
stronger inducements, renders the establishment of
lower values much more easy.

sbuip, Commander A. Cumming, arrived yesterday morning
from the coast of Africa, bringing the usual mails and go-
rernment despatches, together with a few invalids. Tho
Rattler reports a considerable diminution Cache slave trade;
the coast wati, generally speaking, healthy. She left Ben-
guela, January 20, andealled at St. Helena on the .10th, As-
cension on the 10th February, and SLrra Laois• on the
24th, which she left on the 20th. She arrived ut the river
Gambia on the Ist of March, sailing again on the Bth. The
Centaur, steam frigate, Captain Patten, with Commodore
Fanskawe on board, was at Sierra Leone, us also the Cygnet,
8, Commander White. The l'humix, steam sloop, Com-
mander Lysaght, was cruising off Coquimbo; the Sealark,
8, Commander Sotheby, off Ambris ; and the Philemel,
G, Commander Forbes, off Benguela. The Heel', steam
sloop, Commander Beaneliamp, was off the Congo; sad
the Wasp, screw sloop, Commander Crozier, had arrived at
Ascension the day before the Rattler left. The remainder
of the squadron was cruising in the Bights. The 1./art,
brigantine, had arrived at the Gambia with the military re-
liefs fur Bathurst. The Rattler has been in commission
two years and two months, and during that period has
taken eight prizes, awl liberated 877 slaves. Some of
her prizes hail valuable cargoes as well as hluven,
on board. The Snap, tender to the flag ship, had been
broken sup. The 'tattler has brought home the engines of
the Albert, steam vessel, which sunk in the river Gambia.
The remains of the Flamer, steam vessel, wrecked on thee
coast of Liberia, had been als:inilimed by the commodore to
the Liberian government. The Rattler sailed yesterday
afternoon fur Woolwich to be paid off. The Britannia,
120, ordinary guard ship, at this post is, it is reported, to
be fitted as a flag ship fur the Mediterranean ; the St. Vie-
; cent, now under repair, to succeed the Britannia. The
Pike, steam vessel, was taken out of the Sidon dock yester-
day ; the Oberon being taken in to have defects made good.
The Penelope, steam frigate, Captain Lyster, is painting
I ship. She is ready for bending soda. The Prince Regent,
I 90, Captain It. Harris, is getting on with her rigging,
which had been retarded by some alterations on this head.

THE VACANT REGIMENTA.—Nothing has yet been
decided as to the new colonels fir the three regiments now
vacant. It is, however, still believed that Major-General
Smelt will have the 37th, and be replaced in the 62nd by
Major-General Lightfoot. The on flit is that Major-
General Brown, the udjutant-general, and Major-General
Loftus will be the other two new colonels.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

"O'Flannigan and the Fairies," is the title of the
extravaganza provided for the delectation of the holiday
folks at the Adelphi. It was originally, we believe, one of
the stock pieces in the repertoire of poor Power, and the '
original manuscript went down with him in the President.
Mr. Hudson's talent for the impersonation of Irish charac-
ter has made the manager think of it again ' • and, partly
from recollection, and partly by re-writing the piece, has 1
once more been put into acting order. Taking the space of
time that has elapsed since it was last acted and the num-
ber
of alterations that have been made into account, it has
all the freshness of a perfect novelty, and therefore
a short outline of the plot and incidents may not seem
rat of place. Mr. Cillonniyan, we need hardly sac,
is an Irishman of poetic temperament and slightly
addicted to whiskey. Love, however, more potent than
"the creature.," has induced him to "take the pledge,"
until on one unlucky day he is induced to go to a fair,
which, of course, ends in a fight, and equally as a matter of
coarse O'llannipars gets a broken head, takes whiskey as a
specific' and staggers home a relapsed toper. The fairies
alma, Good and bad, take him in hand, and during his sleep
lead him through all sorts of wild vagaries and mishaps,
until at last he finds himself in Lancaster gaol, and about to
be hanged for felony. An old woman suddenly
appears apropos of nothing, presents him with a
red nightcap, and with the aid of this novel
locomotive, he escapes from his prisoners, and finally is re-

heart. The Ott, it ...it be seen, is quite up to the Easter
standard of absurdity, but it moves plea-singly along by the
help of merry dialogue, a few " ruction.," some good
singing, and a great deal of really beautiful scenery. Mr.
Hudson played the hero with much spirit and truthfulness.
His brogue is excellent ; although we understand it did not

lie dances vigorously, and gives the truth jokes with much

Collins also sang and acted in a manner that excited a good
deal of commendatory notice. The other actors exerted
themselves commendably, and ensured for the piece an un-
equivocal success, and we dare 'prophesy a rather extended

and " London Fog." Madame Celeste's acting in the
former is one of the fittest things on the stage, hut has
already been fully appreciated both by critics and public.
We were happy to perceive that "London Fog" has lost
none of its popularity by repetition.

WEST INDIES.

Letters from Havannah of the 3rd inst. received
at New York, state that political affairs had been
quiet. Although rumours were afloat about another
Lopez expedit• they excited little attention.
On mercantile affairs we learn that freights,
owing to numerous arrivals, had receded :—Cowes

letters state that on the 26th ult. a serious fire oc-
curred at San Diegos de Los lianosi ; six houses were
consumed. Henry ('lay remained in the city.
A large number of American merchant ships were
at Havannah, loading with sugar.
From Jamaica, dates to the 31st ult. (14 days later
than those brought by the Clyde) announce that the
Ituwal Mail steam-ship Trent, Clarke commander,
amved there on the 25th, with eight passengers, and
left on the 26th for Vera Cruz. Her Majesty's ship
Alarm, 26, and Persian, 10, left Port Royal on the
27th for Havannah and Bermuda; and her Majesty's
steamer Alban, on the 31st. for Grey Town and 11Z.r-
muda. Cholera had reappeared in the Lonidas Bale
district. Numerous deaths are reported. His ex-
cellency the governor had transmitted to the House
of Assembly a long deapatch from Earl Grey on the
labour supply question, on which subject much dis-
cussion sews expected.
Frosts St. Domingo accounts state that apolitical
conspiracy had been detected at Port-au-Prince, and
several persons supposed to be concerned in it con-
demned to death by court-martial. Among them
was one of the three cabinet ministers, and the late
chief justiee. M. Fnmeisque. These proceedings.
however. were annulled, and a new trial ordered. of
which the result had not been announced. The
efforts of the American, French. and English agents
to settle the difficulties between the two parts of
the island have not yet been brought to a successful
termination. The subject was to be brought before
the legislature on the 25th ult. The coffee crop, it
is thought, will he inferior to those of former years.

PORTUGAL.

Oar Madrid letters of April 16 inform us that
the Lisbon news of the 12th (confirming, as far as it
goes, the telegraphic intelligence given yesterday)
is represented as highly favourable to the Queen's
party. The force of Saldanha is said to be reduced
tr a single regiment of infantry (1,000 men). He is
marching on Oporto. Colonel Joaqui.m Bente was
on the south' side of the Tagus, marching from
Caruche, intending to cross the river about
four or five leagues above Abrantes, to join Saldanha.
Up to the evening of the 10th there had been
no rising at Oporto. The junta party of that city
were ready to rise at a moment's warning from their
chiefs, who were understood to be holding back
until Saldanha should agree to their stipulations.
On the night of the 10th the war-vessel Mindello
arrived at Oporto, bringing Major Correa de la Carda
and other officers. A courier from Evora announces
that the province is quiet. At Beja the civil and
military authorities had sworn to obey the govern-
ment.
Saldanha's cause was considered precarious, be-
cause of his having failed in his first attempt to
occupy Santarem. It is, nevertheless, stated that
the king's troops could not be entirely relied upon.
Colonels Franco and Nlagelhaes had been dismissed
from their commands. Other colonels supposed to
be implicutel in Saldanha a plans still retained their
commands in the king's forces. the Duke of Ter-
ceira could not keep the field, in consequence of an
attack of the gout. The run upon the Bank of
Lisbon had subsided, and its old notes had risen from
3 to 10 per cent. discount.
The following is the king's order of the day upon
taking the command of the troops:
Brave and Loyal Portuguese Army !—A general, whose
first duty, according to the principles of honour and military
laws, was to respect the throne, its constitutional preroga-
tives, and the maintenance of discipline, committed the un-
heard-of and unjustifiable attempt of inciting part of the
army to revolt. This criminal proceeding will be justly
valued by the nation.
Brave and loyal l'ortuguese army!—As commander-in-
thief I am the first to respect the free exercise of the prero-
gatives of the crown. A soldier's first duty is obedience ;
he cannot nor ought not to intermeddle in political affairs.
A contrary proceeding is to attack her Majesty the Queen,
the constitutional charter, and public order.
Confiding in your loyalty, and assured of yourpatriotism,
I did not Maitate a moment in putting myself at the head
of the brave men whom I have the satisfaction to command,
and to whom the glory of quelling the rebellion will be due.
EL- IiLY, Commander-in-Chief of the Army.

instantly drops the poor frog and flies away. Of course the
frog is a fairy (or rather a half-fairy), Grenouilletta, (Miss

for the relief of present necessities, but undertakes the
deliverance of her benefactress and her daughter. Borne

there they must remain. A friendly dragon, Fe-bo-Fuen

metallic wave, and they are free. In the second act the
princess is being betrothed to a !'rinse Nonpareil (Mite M.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 16th contain nothing
of political importance. The elections continued tos
excite great interest. The 3lontemolinists intended
to exert themselves in the provinces to secure the
.r,lecess of their partisans. The progressists calcu-
' lated on obtaining 100 votes in the new chamber, but
the government was of opinion thlt they would not
have more than 50. The government, in compliance
with the recommendation of the royal council, had
authorised the parties who had contracted for the ca-
nalisation of the Ebro to commence operations, en
attendant the passing of a bill by the Cortes. The
. Stock Exchange was nut open on the 16th.
Meetings had taken place of dilferent political par-
ties for settling their plan of actionin the coming
elections.

SANDWICH ISLANDS.

From these Isla' dates had arrived at San
Francisco down to the 28th of January. The
most important feature of the intelligence is the visi-
tation of the islands by tine of the severest gales
known far many years. Three vessels were anchored
outside llonoluia, the ship Nisida Stewart, and two
San Francisco barques. The former dragged her

others slipped their cables, and with great difficulty
got into the harbour.

LAMBETH,

Charlev Denyarrl, and his wife, were charged with
unlawfully pawning a pair of blankets, the property of
James Smith, . . . .

On Saturday morning the prisoners took apartments at
the house of the prosreutor, and had not been there more
than an hour when they went out together, and did not
return for some time. f his conduct excited the suspicion
of the prosecutor, who, in consequence, insisted upon exa-
mining the MOM, and then discovered that a pair of blankets
bud hien taken from the bed.

The prisoner: admitted that they had pledged the blan-
kets, being without money, and that they intended taking
them out on the Monday.
The magistrate was informed by Sergeant Goff that a
number of robberies had latterly been committed by persons
taking lodgings, and it appeared that besides the duplicate
for the blankets of the prosecutor, six others were found on

the male prisoner.
Both the prisoners were remanded to give time to the po-
lice to make the necessary inquiries about them.
The magistrate was engaged for nearly two hours in hear-
ing charge,. of vagrancy preferred against persons begging at
the catholic chapel in St. George's-fields.
The prisoners were committed to prison for seven days
each.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY Evrvisc.
The National, one of the univ papers published
this morning, attributes to the fionapartists a fresh
design, which consists in repealing the deeree of
October 28th relative to the presidential eke.'
tion, and prolonging the term of the President's
powers to December 10, 1832, in order to gain
time, and to avoid the simultaneous coincidence of
the presidential and parliamentary election. The
Constitution is however, precise on this point, and
fixes the election by its 4fith Article for the second i
Sunday in May.
Not a breath of news is stirring to-day, and all
the world arc abroad in the sunshine, making a '
holiday of it.
The activity of the nonapartists in getting up
petitions for the prolongation of the President s
powers, is visible in the country papers. The Echo
de risme states that 400 communes of the Dor.'
dogne arc at this moment occupied in signing peti-
tions for the revision of the constitution, and re-
appointment of Louis Napoleon. Fifty-four of these
petitions have been addressed to General de liar, who
has undertaken to present them to the Assembly.
M. de Falloux arrived at Nice on the 12th, from
Venice, and is expected at Paris soon after the close
of the vacation.
Seditious agencies arc noted to be busier than
usual in the faubourgs, particularly in the quarter of
St. Antoinei and although the mass of reflecting
workmen are doubtless aware of the certain failure
of an .'ineate, and remember bs- better experience the
galling effects, in diminishea employment, which
such attempts produce, many are tempted in tavern-
cellars to pledge their services to the insurgent cause
upon the appointed day. Wages are low, and work
scanty. The great furniture shops decline additions
to their stock, unless brought at prices below re-
muneration.
The departments seem agitated by alarming ru-
mours and the appearance of men in considerable
numbers demanding work. The Aredr, a paper of
St. Etienne, buttes that between seven and eight
hundred persons had applied to be employed at the
ateliers-ttatiumtr, which they heard had been re-
established, as in 1848, by the municipality. The
working classes of the same place were in a state of
ferment at rumours of disturbances at Grenoble and
Vienne. . _

The commissioners on prisons left Paris on Satur-
day for Brussels, to inspect the penitentiary system
of Belgium.
lhe funds rose slightly. The Fives closed at 02.40,
