THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Josiah Writley,l;;;lliQVi, ;Flifetafriars, was brought
up in the custody of John Forrester, before the lord
Mayor, for final examination, upon charges of having forged
hills of exchange, with intent to defraud the banking-
house of Glyn and Co., of Lombard-street.
Upon the former examination evidence was adduced for
the purpose of showing that a bill of the amount of
1131. Ids. was di+counted by Messrs. Glyn and Co., with
whom the pri.onei kept a banking account, and it pur-
ported to be accepted by Mr. George Marler, printer, of
Leeds, and was made payable at 2UO, High Holborn. Ad-
ditional evidence was given, and the prisoner, who declined
saying anything, upon receiving the usual caution, was com-
mitted fur trial.

MARK-LANE.-TIIIS DAY.

There was cry little English Wheat fresh up for this
morning's market, and it value underwent no change. In
foreign Wheat, for home consumption, there was a steady
retail sale at Monday's quotations, and some purchases of
the lower qualities were again made for shipment to the
Continent.
Flour sold at former rates.

Barley, unless of elsoic: malting quality, WU dinky% to
sell, but cannot be quoted cheaper.
Old Oats were quite as dear, but new hung heavily on
hand; holders, however, refused to accept lower rates.
Peas and Beans brought quite as much money as at the
beginning of the week.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS D.Y.
The supply of Ilca,ts is very much smaller than it has
been of late. The weather is also more favourable fur
slaughtering. In consequence, trade is bride, at an ad-
vance of about 2d. per Sibs. on the average. The numbtr
of Sheep is small. Choice Downs are scarce, and in a
few instances exceed our top quotation. All kinds are
rather dearer. Good Calves are making rather more money,
although there is not a quotable advance. From Germany
and Holland there are 166 Beasts, 800 Sheep, 170 Calves,
and 23 l'igs ; Scotland, 1.5 Beasts ; and 350 from the
Northern and Midland Counties. •

PROGRESS OF FREE TRADE PRLNCIPLES

TO THII IDITOII OP Tall TIMERS.

Sta —IC is so unblushingly repeated at protec
tionist dinners that the policy. of this country in
1846 has in no instance been reciprocated, that con-
tradiction and facts would be thrown away upon those
whose after-dinner libations and general obtuseness
to what is doing among " foreigners" render them
only the more obstinate in their self-imposed igno-
rance. But when the secretary of the largest dock
company in the world endorses such erroneous asser-
tions, and circulates as true what is so notoriously
false, it can be attributed only to want of time for
investigation of truth, and too easy a reliance upon
unscrupulous informants. Considering that there
has scarcely been one whole year since 1846 that has
not been marked by the most direful political trou-
bles—throwing in the shade all efforts to unloose the
chains of industry—the following list is a goodly
one, and is surely full of hope for the future
Iteduction of duties, more or less, has taken place
since 1846 in

America, very largely Spain
Sardinia Austria, commencing
Norway and Sweden February, 18.32
Finland Turkey
Russia Zollverein.
Railroad iron admitted duty free for private lines
into Spain and Denmark ;
and for state lines into
Egypt
Hanover.,,,
Treatfrt of nasiVetien with
America Sweden
Holland Sardinia
and international treaties, all tending to greater
freedom of trading, between
Austria and Sardinia Zollverein and Holland
France and Belgium America and Canada (pro-
Belgium and Holland posed).
l'russia and Hanover

Papal States
Isthmus of Panama.

Progress and civilization feel more and more the
galling of any fetters to commercial freedom. Our
patent laws and our customs restrictions ; our legal
monopolies, and our excise interference with certain
manufactures, arc more severely felt the longer they
remain ; and how men can impose upon themselves
by believing that armour is a suitable and easy dress
for the 19th century, and can get the manager of a
dock company to recommend it, is most difficult to
understand.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

The bankrupts came up to-day on their last examination.
The Commissioner held a private consultation in his room
with the registrar, the trade and otiicial assignees and their
solicitor. The conference lasted for nearly an flour and a
hulls, and at its conclusion the parties came into court,
when
Ilia Honour said that in consequence of some points
which had occurred to his mind as being fit for further con-
sid..ration—he spoke in general terms only—he was of
opinion that a short adjournment should take ph.ce to en-
able those points to he disposed of. They were points which
it would be both useful and necessary to consider before
he could pass the bankrupts' accounts.
Thu case was accordingly adjourned till the '3lst of

WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Tay's late arrival at Southampton was owing
to her being detained at St. Thomas waiting for the
Barbadoes steamer, which was late in consequence
of her late departare from St. Thomas with the out-
ward mails orteveyed by the Trent, which latter
steamer was detained on her outward passage from
Southampton. All this has been already ex-
plained, and the late arrival of the Tay
was anticipated and accJonted for. The Trent,
which lett Southampton on the 17th Nov., was eight
days behind her time arriving at St. Thomas. The
rociseqoeoce was that the Conway, which had to con-
vey the outward Jamaica, Havanna, and Honduras
mails brought by the Trent at St. Thomas, was
obliged to leave the latter without her cargo, and on
her return trip it was deemed advisable that
she skald not touch at Ilavannah. The
Great Western, which has been on the Gulf
route, after taking some portion of specie from
Tampico on merchants' account, was unable to
communicate farther with the above place and with
Van Cruz. and the cone/queue/A was that no mails
were brought either from Vera Cruz or Tampico, and
the Admiralty agent and purser of the Great Western
were left behind at Tampico. Nothing was brought
by the Tay on account of Mexican dividend& Toe
Great Westero, as soon as she arrived at St. 'Minas,
was put into quarantine on account of her having
touched at Jamaica. As soon as the fl.rbadoea
steamer arrived at St. Thomas the Tay took from her
the mails, and then went alongside the Great Western
and transhipped her mails, rargo, and passengers, sod
immediately started for England. The Tay was
obliged to communicate with the Great Western the
last thing, because if she bad done so before, she
would have be placed in quarantine also.

THE LEV ANT.

We have received Athens papers to the 28th ult.,
and Constantinople to the 24 h. The reports of the
sittings of the Chamber of D. puties of Athens are
uninteresting. The Courier d'Atlvncs sates that
bands of robbers continue to infest the country. A
party of brigands lately pillaged the principal houses of
the village of Meliseima in open day. A few days after
this exploit the robbers had a skirm.a% wi'h a party
of soldiers, of whom one was killed and another
wounded. Scenes of a similar doicriution have
occurred in Euboes, Livedia, Bototia, and Attica.
At Gortyna a party of 90 travellers were attacked and
robbed on their way to Tripolizzi. A numerous band
attacked the village of Macho's, in Acarnania, pil-
laged several houses, and put some of the inhabitants
to the torture. Oa the 17th ult., a band of twenty
robbers, under the orders of Cmtzomili, attacked
the Turkish village Zstanti, and had a skirmish with
an Ottoman detachment, which lost two men. The
Journal de Constantinople, of the 24th ul'.' mentions
an insurrection which had br ken out ht Domaacus
against the recruiting laws; but was quehed by the
imperial troops. Eight of the ringleaders were ar-
rested and sent to Constantinople to be tried; the
other prisoners made on the occasion were sent to
Canes, to be enrolled in the regular troops.
The Turkish official Gazette contains an account of
the troubles which hare broken oat latterly in Bosnia,
Damascus, and Aleppo.
The same journal describes a proj. ct which the

MINES.

(Prim the tinily News.)

SATURDAY EVENING.

A very large amount of business has again been
transacted this week, and the demand for dividend
shares has been greater than during any week in the
year. This is accounted for both by the abundance
of money and the favourable view the general public
arc beginning to take of dividend mines, which can
with a very trifling risk be purchased to pay 15 and
20 per cent. per annum. A very general impression
prevails that the market will continue to manifest an
improving appearance for some time to come, the
present period being so decidedly favourable to
mining business. The amount of capital afloat in
the market and seeking employment will be further
largely increased in a few weeks by the payment of
the dividends on Consols and other government
and miscellaneous stocks, so that there is every ap-

peamnce of mineral enterprise continuing to main-
tam a prominent position in public attention.
In Alfred Consols a further rise has taken place,
and West Ciundons have advanced from lOU to
1201.

In the market for the Californian gold mining
shares there has been a fair amount of business
during the week. Business is marked to-day in

NEWS FROM TANGIERS.

The intelligence from Gibraltar, by the Bentinck,
is that a French government steamer arrived at that
place on the 11th from Tangiers, with a number of
passengers. and that the Emperor of Morocco had
refused to communicate with the French consul, and
ordered the Pacha of the province to settle the
question between the Morocco and French govern-
ments. The British consul, however, had assured
the British subjects that the differences under discus-1
sion were likely to be amicably adjusted.
The Clamor Pu6lico, a Madrid paper, publishes a
letter from Gibraltar, dated Dec. 9, stating that the
Emperor of Morocco bad refused to ratify the treaty
negotiated between Admiral Dubourdieu and the
Bey of Tangiers. The Emperor is also said to be
marching at the head of 40,000 men towards the
coast. Two steamers had been sent from Gibraltar
to Tangiers to receive foreign residents on board.

MOSEY MARKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoca.

The English stock market has shown much more
firmness to-day, and, with the support afforded by
the continued action of the National Debt Commis-
sioners' broker, and a slightly increased disposition to
operate 011 individual account, the quotation now
rules steady at a rise of on the last rates of yes-
terday.
The Paris Bourse continues to exhibit a de-
clining tendency, but there is no intelligence of par-
ticular novelty in this morning's arrivals from
the Continent. The Bank returns to-night arc ex-
pected to present a further respectable addition to the
stock of bullion, although sonic demand for the In-
dian markets was manifested in the week em-
braced in the return. The Teviot, for the Brazils,
has just taken out a rather larger amount than is
usually remitted to this quarter—viz., 113,000/.—but
this is of no consequence, in face of the supplies from
so many other parts.
Consols opened 961 to .1' and are now quoted 961 to
97 both for cash and Tuesday next. The prices of
the day's business arc officially given as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, 96?,„ 97; ditto for ac-
count, 961, 97. This is the only stock dealt in.
Next week will witness the nearly simultaneous
close of the account in the Consol, railway,
share and foreign stock markets. Under ordinary
circumstances, some little pressure is usually expe-
rienced on such an occasion on the Stock Exchange;
but, as the payment of the quarterly dividends com-
mences to the public on Tuesday, whilst bankers are
supplied previously, there can be little doubt the

The share market to-day is quiet, and in the ear-
lier part of the morning business was in two or three
instances transacted at a further slight reduction, but
the feeling is now much firmer, and many descriptions
are quoted at a fractional improvement on the last
rates of yesterdays market. Lancashire and York-
shire and Midlands are decidedly higher, and Great
Westerns, London and North Western, and
South Easterns are also better. Specula-
tion in this market is now quiet again,
the dealers appearing disposed to wait and see if
prices will be supported by the public on the pay-
ment of the dividends, in which case an upward
movement is extremely probable.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MINCING LANE.—THIS DAY.
SrOAß.—The market has closed with a decided improved
appearance ; buyers have been active the last two days, and
closed at prices a shade in favour of the sellers, compared
with those of last Tuesday. Relined remains steady;
grocery lumps, 445. to 495.
COFFEE.—The large public sale of 5,000 bags Costa Rica
was nearly all bought in. Prices of Coffee generally have
been sustained, and at the close of the week the tone of the
market was strengthened. Good ordinary native Ceylon
sold at 40s. to 40s. W.

COCOA has been dull of sale, and the parcels offered in
public sale hare chiefly been bought in.
TEA.—The market has been steady, at last weeki prices,
and u fair amount of business done.

Isnion.—The quarterly sales which commenced on Tues-
day, have gone off better than was anticipated ; the demand
for good and fine shipping qualities has been rather brisk,
and the last sales prices have been about sustained, but infe-
rior and home consuming qualities show a decline of 3d.
COCHINEAL has gone off heavily in public sale at a de-
cline of Id. per lb.
lttca.—A large business was done at the commencement
of the week at 3d. advance, but the demand has been rather
limited the last two days.
SALTPETRE.—Last week's prices have been supported,
but the amount of business done has been small.
COTTON.—This article has been dull, and prices have
scarcely been supported. 1,500 bales sold during the week.
Itust.—The market has been dull. I'rices are unaltered.
FRl:XT.—Currants : The demand for new bus been rather
dull ; prices remain firm, at 425. to 435. ; old remains inac-
tive. Valencia Raisins: The price remains at 3'is., but not
much doing. Ia other descriptions of fruit there is not
much doing.
In other articles no material alteration, but the genera
tone of the markets has been strengthened.

TALLOW MARKET.—Tnis DAY.
The market is steady to-day, but speculatively there is
nothing doing. The range of quotations is as follows .
Town Tallow, 38s. ; Petershurgh Y.C., on the spot, 38s. lid. ;

SWITZERLAND.

The Federal Council of Switzerland has, in conse-
quence of the repeated remonstrances of thee German
powers, just abolished the absolute obligation im-
posed in July, 1849, on the various cantons to receive
political refugees ; it has, moreover, maintained
the decrees relative to the expulsion or transmis-
sion of refugees into the interior. These resolutions
are communicated to the cantons by a proclamation,
dated Berne, the 25th ult. This locument explains
that, after the events of 1848 and 1849, Bich-
serland was obliged, from its position, and from
the duties of humanity, to receive a vast num-
ber of refugees of diffi.rent nations, and to take
measures for distributing them among the can-
tons ; but the time has now arrived at which the
cantons can be relieved from this burden, and al-
lowed their old privilege of dealing as they please
with refugees. It says, moreover, that the French
government has offered to convey to England or
America all refugees not French, who may be un-
able to return to their own countries. Under these
circumstances, it observes that the cantons may make
use of the right of expelling refugees without sub-
jecting themselves to the charge of severity. In
-July, 1849, the number of refugees under the general
control of the confederation was 11,000; but by par-
dons, expulsions, and voluntary departures it has
been reduced to about 500.

The Swiss journal+ state that a sanguinary con-
flict had ju,t taken place at :flatten, in the district
of Interlacken, between the troops and a band of
insurgents, in the course of which two of the former
and eight of the latter were seriously wounded.
Several of the insurgents have been arrested, amongst
whom are MM. Seiler, ex-prefect ; Michel, ex-
director of the prison of Interlacken ; Stachli and
Ititschard, ex-substitutes of the prefect; Branner,
formerly judge of the district; Indermuhle, ex-secre-
tary of the prefecture ; Rubini, usher of the tribunal;
and Shasser, a medical gractitioner.

H.►nwten ELEcrioN.—The liberal and free-trade
can.lidate, Mr. Rol,. rt Wizrata Crawford, has broualit his
canvass to a close, and the result leach his frjknils to indulge
in the confident anticipation of his return, 'rho nomination
takes place to-day, and the polling to-morrow.

HOME CIRCUIT.--CHELNIATORD, M. 3.

The commission for the county of Essex was opened to-
day, and the learnc•l judges proceeded immediately to
business.
The gaol calendar presents a fearful array of crime, there
being 76 prisoners for trial, and nearly the whole of the
cases are of the most atrocious description.
Lord Chief Justice Campbell, who sat on the crown side,
in addressing the grand jury, said that upon looking over
the calendar he was horror-stricken and terrified at its CM-
tent.; for he found that there were not lets than five
charees of murder, twelve of arum, a great number of
burglary, and in fact there were charges of almost every
description of aggravates! offence known to the law; and
be observed that he really felt so much weighed down by
observing the extent of crime that was to be disposed of,
that be really could not do more than to ask them to
retire at once to perform the duties that devolved upon
them.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the With and 20th ult.
have arrived. The committee of the Chamber of
Deputitst en the bill for regulating the public debt
was proceeding with its deliberations. It was said
that some communications had been interchanged
between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the
minister of Great Britain, respecting the capital of
'the coupons; they were said to be couched in the
most friendly terms. The Chamber, on the 2fith ult.,
nominated a conanittee on the bill on the reorganisa-
tion of the Bank of San Fernando.
The Gazette of the 2lth contains the nominations
of Butler to the military intendence, Orlando as privy
councillor, and the decree for raising 3&000 men,
and the treaty of extradition between France and
Spain. The English protestant residents have had
a public meeting, to obtain permission to give
Christian burial to their dead. The Senate is dis-
cussing the railroad bill. The committee on the Ad-
jastmcut of the Debt Bill still continues its sittings.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—On Sunday evening the
residence of Mrs. Caroline Rebecca Clarke, in Sheep-street,
Winslow, was forcibly entered, and a lung catalogue of
silver articles stolen, besides two purses containing 15/. in
gold, awl from six to seven pounds in other cash. Suspi-
cion rests on two men and a boy, strangers to Winslow,
who the same evening left the town on foot, carrying a car-
pet bag. They were traced to Buckingham, from whence
they took a fly to Wolverton, and, being too late for the
last up train, slept there. On the following morning they
left by the first train for London. It is clear that the plun-
derers were conveyancers from London, who avail them-
selves of railway travelling into the provinces to carry on
their vocation.—Oxford Chronicle.

THE KouKli enters.—A letter from the eastern
frontier mentions that the Kookee Chiefs came in about the
end of last month, made their submis-ion to Col. Lester,
and gave security fur the peace of the southern frontier of
Sy'het and Cuellar. We also hear that, since the
Assam Corps advanced into the Angami Naga, country, a
party of those people have made an incursion into northern
Bechar, murdering three British subjects and carrying
away twenty-seven men, women, and ehild;en, as captives.
It ts supposed that a force will be sent against
them under Colonel Lester, ns the troops already sent, us
mentioned in our paper of the 10th ultimo, do not appear
sufficient. From the same quarter we hear that an order
from government has been received for the release of all the
Munnipore princes, who were confined by order of the Su-
periatendant of Caehar in a place unfit for the habitation of
common coolies. Some of our readers may perhaps be dis-
posed to ask why they were imprisoned? The question
should be put iu the House of Commons' when the Com-
pany's affairs arc discuased.—Cokotta Englishmats.
