HOUSE ROBBIRT.

Charles Imes, 30, labourer, George Harris, 33, gun-
smith, and Witham Thompson, 33, described as a labourer,
three well-known members of the swell mob, were indicted
for stealing a watch, • sovereign, and some silver, the pro-
perty of Usury Harvey.
The pre secntor is • beer-shopkeeper, in Short'sgardens,
Clerkenwell, and on the 9th October the prisoners went to
his house and called for soma refreshment, but they
had evidently laid a preconcerted plan to rob the house.
Suspicion, however, it would appear war entertained o: their
proceedings and they were watched, and Lower was seen
coming out of the prosecutor's bedroom, and it war found
that the drawers had been opened, and the property in
question taken from the room. The prisoners were taken
into custody, and upon searching Lowes there were found
a number or skeleton key., some of which opened the bed-
room door, and the others the drawers • and close by the
place where the prisoners had been sitting, the whole of the
stolen property was discovered.
The jury returned • verdict of Guilty, and the primer's
were sentenced to be transported for 10 years.

Dritni, Ocr. 30.

While I write (half-put 6, sm.), the troops are
marching to the railway station, fur conveyance to
the north; and at the same early hoer for the last
four mornings (Sunday excepted), the citizens have
been roused from their slumbers by the stirring strains
of martial music belonging to regiments marching
for the same destination. Unfortunately,party feeling
at this moment runs very high in this distracted
country; and all this demonstration of military force
is, I her, require:P, to compel the Ulster oraugemen
to respect the laws. A grt at meeting of orugemen,
at which the Marquis of Downehire has undertaken
to preside, takes place to-day, in &Past, to
give expression "to the righteous sentiments of in-
dignation entertained by the loyal people of the north
at the recent conduct of the government towards Lord
Roden and the hLsers. Beers." It is expected that
Orange feelings will to very strongly exhibited on
the occasion ; but, finding that the government is re-
solved to repress party violence, by force if neoessary,
the organs of the Orangemen are beginning to feel
alarm, and are using their endeavours to calm the
anger of their infatuated adherents.

ROME, Ocr 21

The intelligence that the French are about to leave
Rome gains strength every day, and is even can-
firmed by the accounts of the officers themselves. If
they do so without obtaining any guarantee for the
constitutional liberty, or rather sheow of liberty,
deemed sufficient for the victims of their intervention,
they will only complete their mission accorang to the
tea intention of those by whom it was planned—a
'mission of deception, violence, and betrayal.
The Rumens, mach as they have to fear from the
entry of an army of ignorant and bigoted Spaniards
and lqeapolitans, led on by priests thit sting for blood
and vengeance, cannot refrain from rejoicing at the
tit peter. of those treacherous foes who were more
immediately the came of their downfall, and are pre.
paring • most tremendous concert of hissing and
hooting for the retreating gent rals and their troops.
The French officers will be delighted to get
away, for they are tired and disgusted at
the constancy with which they are avoided and
abhorred by the citizens, and their irritation is some-
times apt to break out unjutly, es was the cue yes-
terday morning, in the Via Condotti, where a captain
of ehasseurs.d.chevai got into a violent passion be-
cause a piece of mortar either fell from a root, or
was thrown down, a yard before his nose : rushing
inttra shop close to him, he inquired for the imagined
delinquent, bat being early morning the shop, which
was a wine shop, was empty, and the valorous ap
tato vented his ire upon the gloss doors, which M
smashed with such fury that his spurred boot get
entangled in the wood-work and endangered hie
equilibrium so much as to produce a ludicrous effect
on the passers by. The muter of the shop attempted
to save his property, but was overwhelmed by a volley
of French abuse. Another ease took place in the
Cafe Narsari on the Piaui di Spagna ; an English-
man went in when the calk was Jul. of French offi-
cers, and having probably had already a due quota
of wine, asked for a glass of water. The glass
was not clean, and he therefore expressed his
disapprobation by flinging it at the waiter's head,
sad roiling a Frenchman on the floor, for
sews observation on his conduct. Another
perfectly innocent and ignorant of the
rending row, went into the 042 shortly afterwards,
and was violently pounced upon and turned out by
dr Fresh. It is but jest, however, to confess that
dry get their fall share of such awkward mistakes.

MR. CHARLES PEARSON ON PRISON

DISCIPLINE.

Yesterday evening Mr. Charles Pearson resumed
his lecture upon prison discipline. Having further adverted
to the system at Reading, he proceeded to show the habits
of idleness which it engendered. No one could come out of
any prison with less disposition to get a living by honest in-
dustry than those who came out of Reading gaol. What
caulk be 'ignited of that prisoner who had got a habit of
lag in bed 10 hours every day, according to the rules of the
prison ? This was a system by which crime was to be cured

CATTLB.—DERBY, Jan. 16. Our market con-
tinues to be well supplied with fat Beasts, and we may say
that we have considerably more Beasts at this season of the
year than we have had fur many preceding years; the
quality to-day was generally good, with a Large attend-
ance of purchasers ; and it is somewhat remarkable that the
price of fat Beasts has been eb at the same for the lest three
or four months ; the meat market is In a low and depressed
state in this town. The Sheep pens were again well filled
with Sheep, but it was with difficulty that a greater part of
them were disposed of. Fat Calves were scarce. Pigs about

SARDINIA.—The Opininne of Turin states that
the Sardinian government intends to form a foreign

generals, if necessary, u commander-in-chief of the

ROMAN STATES.—The Alba of Florence of the

excommunicated the Roman people.
General Garibaldi hes received orders from the

minister of war to go with his column to the pro-
vinces of Fermi) and Aggroli.

It is said that the mission of Cardinals Altieri and •
Ferreti to Rome is one of conciliation. Amongst
other cooditious is an amnesty to all engaged in the
late affairs except the actual assassin of Count Rossi.
It is rumoured that Sterbini and the other chiefs of
the movement have replied, that it was not in their
power to force the acceptance of the proffered condi-
tions on the clubs and u►tra-democrats without the
support of an armed force, coming in the name of the
Pope.
SICILY.—The Piedmontese Gazette of the 11th
publishes official papers from Sicily, showing that, on
the 28th ult., the Toirearsa cabinet had resigned; but
that the President of the Sicilian government, not
having been able to form a ministry, the former cabi-
net, in obedience to a vote of the chambete, had re-
sumed their functions, and publis'•ed a proclamation
to the people, dated the 29th ult., in which, after
stating their reasons for their resignation and their
subsequent return to power, they recommend the
people to observe tranquillity, if they would succeed
in their atruggks against Napier.

A CONTRAST.

IRELAND.

DUSLIN, Jer. N.
The rnmo..rs vagaries contemporary the Horning
Herald mentions about Lord Clarendon leaving this
country obtain no credence here in circles which
ought to be acquainted with changes in the adminia-
tretion. It is, however, well known that Sir James
Graham is most anxious to try his powers with the
1" Irish difficulty ; and it is believed that if even he
had a share in an Irish government, that he would
pursue a far more liberal policy than might be sup-
posed from his antecedent course in politics.
The decay of the landlords continues. Within the
last few days the lord lieutenant of a county in Mun-
ster had thirteen executions against him. The Free-
man's Journal, of this morning, thus alludes to the
once great commoners, whose break down is matter
of general conversation : " From every side we hear
the crash of falling families and fortunes. Members
of the old patrician houses, some of the most ancient,
and most aristocratic in the land, are outcasts and
beggars. One southern commoner has fled in dis-
guise from his ancient castle, alone and unattended,
without host or retainer, to avoid the inconvenience
of the Gazette. He was supposed to be the
wealthiest and safest proprietor is the south. He
turns out to be penniless, and his incumbrances hard
upon a quarter of a million! Another instance of a
reveres of fortune was lately brought to our notice.
A gentleman, with a nominal rent-roll of 10,000/. per
annum, who lately filled the office of High Sheriff
in a most important county, and represented one
of the most honoured protestant families in Ire-
land—a family, too, to which the catholic pro-
prietors of Mundt r owe no smell debt of gratitude—
this gentleman, we have heard, is now waiting at the
office of the poor-law commissioners, looking for a
oardianship !

what he was doing. He told them that he had been robbed

This case, which was before the court on a former day and
reported in our paper, was now argued on a question of
jurisdiction. An application was made on the part of Sir
Robert Prise, for an order on the provisional assignee to
sell considerable property in the Olorangam Iron and Coal
Works, under a vesting order on a creditor's petition made
in 1842. Sir F. C. Knowles was a bankrupt Ave years after-
wards, and the point was whether the property remained in
this court under the vesting order, or was vested In the Court
of Bankruptcy under the fat. The case turned on the con-
struction of the 39 sec.' 1 & 2 Vic., c. 110.
Mr. Nichols appeared for Sir Robert Price ; Mr. &mood
fer Sir F. C. Knowles ; and Mr. Begley, and Mr. Csarteen
for the assignees in bankruptcy.
The point was argued at some length, and the court took
time to madder its judgment.
Mr. Bargood said there was another point, if the court con-
sidered it pareseed jurisdiction' and that was Sir Robert
Price was not a creditor but a partner, and had no locus
nandi to make the application.
His Honour, who, on the former occasion, intimated his
opinion that the jurisdiction ever the cam was gone from this
court, said
—Jew question of partnership could be discussed if

sale of property, a subdivision court was held, pursuant to
appointment, for the further examination of the bankrupt,
sad his committal if necessary.
Mr. Bagley, for the assignees, examined the bankrupt as
follows Oa the 7th of February net did you receive a
sum of 9501. upon the sale of some freehold property? I
the paper now handed to you the account you
Mee furnished to your wignees of the manner in which you

posal of that property ? It wee.
The evidence of Yearn, taken in the course of the ex-
amination, was to the effect that the signature to the receipt
was in his handwriting, and that he had signed it at the
pressing request of the bankrupt, who stated that it would
do him a great service, although hs had never received any
seamy from him, nor had any business transaction with him.
Mr. Coannimioner Brans to the bankrupt. —bow, recol-
lect, bankrupt, yen are an old man. It is impossible any
ene can believe a word you my. You stand in • very awful

The bankrupt repeated his statement, and denied all
knowledge of what hed become of the money.
Mr. Commissioner Evans.—Then you will be committed
to prison, fees which there will be no liberation during
your life.
The bankrupt mid it was Impossible for him to say where
he bad lost the mosey. He had carried it in his pocket. It
was in notes, and he had told his son of the loss after it
occurred. This was the first time he had communicated the
loss to say other person.
After the commissioners bad consulted,
Mr. Commimioner Beans said—Nobody living can believe

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
The performance of "Don Giovanni" last evening
was in a style of splendour and completeness unex-
ampled in this country. The opera was admirably
east; Mozart's inimitable instrumentation called into
action the full powers of Costes superb orchestra ;
and no pains or cost was spared. in giving the ut-
most beauty and the most imposing magnificence to
the scenic effects.
• Grisi, in her pest part of Donna Anna, was as
great as ever. Her acting was full of energy
and passion, and we never heard her sang
with treater expression and beauty. Tam-
burini is the best Don Giovanni on the stage ;
combining the reckless libertine and the high-bra
Spanish noble with a felicity which very few of the
representatives of this character have been able to
roach. Madame Peridani, who has began a series of
six " farewell performances," had her old part of
Zerlina, which no other performer of our day has been
able to make so charming. She received an enthu-
siastic welcome; and the audience, by the vehemence
of their applause during the piece, seemed to express,
not merely the delight given by her performance,
but the regret to part so soon with one
whom they have so long and so greatly
admired. Marini made an exceedingly good Leporello.
He had not the genial humour of Lablethe ; but his
reading of the character was intelligent, consistent,
and effective. Mdlle. Corbari is probably the best re-
presentative of Moira that we have ever had. This
part—which Mozart evidently meant to be a very
prominent one, for he has thrown into it some of the
finest music in the opera—is generally sacrificed by
being committed to incompetent hands ; but Corbari
gave it dignity and importance: and sang the music
with power and passion. Her ' Bon tradita" was ad-
mirable. Taglielico was excellent in the Commas-
datore ; and Polonini, as ,Braeetto, acted and sang very
' agreeably.

IRELAND.

MAT 17.
No order has yet been received about the state pri-
soner,. A meeting was held yesterday at Hadley s
hotel for the purpose of getting no a petition that the
sentence of transportation might be commuted. Mr.
Martin Burke was the principal speaker at it.
Two years since, or even later, the news from
Canada would have produced intense excitement here,
but I never saw news of 83 much impmtanoe received
with so much indifference as yesterday's intelligence.
A Urge army is not wanted here to repress outbreaks;
the population is perfectly tamed by the mimry of
the time.
Nearly 5001. was realised by a charity bazaar yes-
terday at the Rotunda. The Countess of Clarendon
purchased several pounds' worth.
An important meeting was held at Castlebar, for
the purpose of extending a line of railway to Mayo.
The high sheriff wss in the chair, surrounded by
several persons of influence.
Mr. Keogh's reply to Mr. Roebuck found several
admirers here, where pungent personality is reckoned
a great merit in a speech. The member for Athlone
esama considerable reputation at the Irish bar for
humour and powers of repartee. He arrived
from London yesterday.
Mr. Butt's pamphlet on " The Rate in Aid " is
looked on by many as an electioneering manifesto.
The learned gentleman was recently elected town
councillor for the Coeds ward, in which the p7pnlar
interest predominates. lie was chosen without op•
position, and it is said the object of his friends was to
feel his way as a candidate for the representation of
Dublin at the next election, when it is thought he
would receive support from opposite interests.

court. Moreover, in looking over the whole of the proceed-
ings in this ease, there were many circumstances which re-
quired deliberate consideration. independent of those to
which it had already referred. The parties would not suffer
by the postponement of the judgment of the court. On the
part of Mr. Chesnut, he not paying alimony, in consequence
of being a pauper, could not suffer, neither from the tempo-
rary separation of his wife. With regard to Mrs. Chesnut,
she was now under the protection of the court, and it would
extend that protection over her. For these reasons it would
postpone its judgment.

QUARANTINE NOTICE.

Paixano, to state for the
information of Lloyd's that a sanitary regulation has been
issued to•dsy by the suprimse head of In alth of this place, in
virtue of which all vesicle arriving in Sicily from England and
Scotlard will be subjected, the crews to a quarantine of
seven days, and tho &Ards to fourteen days' quarantine in the
Lazaretto, from Ireland, only seven days of observation.
Malta up to this moment remains in free pratique. Snifter,
restrictions and quarantines, more or less severe, have been
adopted for vessels arriving from almost any place, with very
few exceptions. No pariicular cause is asamiisti for these re-
strictions, further than that in consequence of official news
received sf the sanitary restrictions of foreign parts, the su-
preme board of health has decided to adopt the sanitary
regulations in question.—(Signed) BROWN, FRANCK, and

NEW BRUNSWICK.

The secounta from St. John's, New Brunswick,
notice the continuance of the ravages done by the
fires in the woods in various districts of the province,
and that many farms, fields cf grain, and valuable
prorrty had been destroyed. The long continuance
of dry weather had parched up the fields, and all
hopes of the crop were nearly blighted. The woods
and foyers are represented as being like so much
tinder, ready to ignite at tha application of a spark.

Taz GLovis MADE AT LEICESTEE.—The glove 1
kends at Leicester are again on strike, and have been per.
ambulating the town in a body, preceded by the beating of I

than to oht..in any general advarim--some houses giving
eensirienbly lean than others. They also mite that the fine
silk glove hands are in Leicester very much under-paid, to
what the mate branches are in Derbyshire and N ittingbant-
shire, and that they intend to raise the pries here to that

PLEASURE BOATS ON TEE CANALS.—The adapta-
tion last summer of one or two of the barges for p:easure
boats to take parties for excursions on the Padding on
(Grand Junc,lin) Canal, was found to be so palatable to the
larger body of the respectable working classes who patronised
the speculation, that this summer the number col such plea-
sure boats has been increased, and, aided by the material ed.
ventaze of genial weather, the canal, which was formerly—
biotite the great lines of railway monopolised so large a por-
tion of the internal traffic of the kingdom—the great mare*
of Intercommunication, and the means afforded fur the trans-
minion of goads and merchandise from one part of the cotta-
try to another, has become quite a plumate stream, and the
mine which presents itself at Paddington near the terminus
of the Oreat West.ra Rallwoy, 'ny the arrival and departure
cf parties on these pleasure trips down the canal, is of the
, most lively and cheering character. Tne barges are entirely
' dewted to the purpose, and furaishet with seals covered ant
ornamented, and being gaily decanted are not unsuitable
vehicles for the enjoyment of the parties, which include
bests of respectable women rind children, who, with their
provisions and other adjuncts, avail themselves ..of this Level
meant of making water eseunium sew ral miles from the

POOR LAW UNION CHARGES.

The holm went into committee on this bill, but on Capt.
Pechell intimating that he had several amendment+ to pro
pose, Mr. Baines consented to postpone the bill until a
future day.

COUNTY RATES AND EXPENDITURE BILL.
On the order of the day for resuming the proceedings on
the second reading of this bill,
Sir J. PAIIIITOTON stated that it was not his intention
to persevere in his opposition to the measure.
Mr. HUME observed that his only object was to give some
control to the ratepayers.
Mr. STAFFORD would never sit in that house and hear
hon. gentlemen opposite assert the principle of the connexion
of representation with taxation without reminding them of
their having assisted in naming a law f imposing without
representation a tax of 10 per cent. on Irish property. He
therefore denounced the assertion of that principle as mere
clap-trap.

Mr HUME wax not aware of anv inconsistency of which
he bad been guilty. The hon. gentleman seemed to ("raft
that when a person was sick he must have medicine.
(Hear, hear, and a kugh.) Ireland was in that unhealthy
state that she required very strong medicine, and it was no
proof that he and others were indisposed to do justice to that
cluntry, or that they were not sincere is their assertion of
the principle that representation and taxation should go to.
gather, because in an extreme case they bad consented to
apply to Ireland a measure for which there was no necessity,
and which was therefore intpplicable to England.
The amendments proposed at the previous debate on the
second reading of the bill, were then agreed to, and the bill
was read a second time.

THE LATE PRESIDENT POLE•

The follewing has to on Maud from the United
States legation :
Official intelligence his been received at this legation that
James Knox Polk, BO lately President of the United States,
expired on the 15th day of Jane lest. Unlike his prede-
armee, he has sailed life before the Bening of old age, but
not before completing an be
eole career.
The judgment of his countrymen ever marked, him out for
high services. Raised sweeseively to the first plums in the
stats—shainnim ache most important congressional coin-
minas, head of the Howes of Representatives of the wtole
Animism people, supreme magistrate in his own common-
wealth, President of the Federal Republic—he ever ap.
proved his linen for the highest trusts, excelling not more in
station than in laboriousness, prudence, temperance, and forti-
tude. He defined, established, and extended the boundaries
of his country. He planted the laws of the American Union
on the shores of the Pacific. His influence and his counsels
tended to organism the national treasury on the principles of
the constitution,
i and to apply the rule of freedom to naviga-
tion, trade, and industry Mat beloved where best knows,
he lived happily, sad died in the midst of his country's un-
@sampled prosperity which his own measures had contri-
buted to establish. I invite the consuls and vim-consuls of
the United States, and all others of my fellow-citizens now
in the United Kingdom, to shore the sorrow cf his family
and his country. His memory as a public man lives in
honour, and will endure • the youth of our country will be
formed to virtue by emulating the purity of his private life.

TIIE LATE ME. JUSTICE COLTMAN.

Sir Thomas Coltman, whore death we announced
yesterday, it is untiento tad was in hie GBth year, end
belonged to a family o' filth re pectability in the north
of England, but in no way distinguished from the elan
to which they belonged. Thomas was sent to Cam-
bridge, and took away durinr his stay several piste.
'Geeing evinced a predilection fir the law, he was called to
the bar about 44 years since, and went the northern cir
colt. Although considered • slow he was looked on
as a sound lawyer. Al a Mick letter lawyer, he
was considered the ti.st in that department. la 1830
he was made king's counsel, and became one
of the Brnehers of the Inner T-mple, and
continued practising in the superior courts at Westminster,
and going the northern circuit up to the 24th of February,
1831, on which day he was invested with the dign,ty of the
coif, and upon that occasion he gave rings to the beach and
the serjeants, bearing the foliowing motto, "Jut swam
unique." Oa the same day he was appointed one of the
judges of the C .urt of Common l'leas, in Us" room of Mr.
Justice Gaselee. Shortly after, the newly-made judga re-
ceived the honour of knighthood.
The lest occasion an which he tilliciated as judge was at the
Central Criminal Court last Saturday, in trying Prince
Granstelli and his coadjutors for fitting out English steam-
vessels to take part in the Sicilian insurrection. During the
last day of that trial Sir Thomas Coltman appeared to be
worn out with fatigue, and the confined state of the court.
This appearance was only tanpon.ry, as on Monday the de-
ceased &waded at chambers, at Serjeant's-ino, where ho
remained from ten o'clock until five in the a'teraoon. Oa
the termination of the labours of the day, he returned home
and took his dinner at seven o'clock, and at eleven o'clock
retired to net, at which period he appeared in his usual
health. At twelve o'clock he was attacked with the symp-
toms which terminated fatally.

BARNSLEY.—The hay crops in this district progress
very rapidly. The crops are proving lighter than was an-
ticipated a month ago, from the severe doughty weather
we have had for some time. The wheat ant other grain
crops are very promising. The potato crops are more chee r-
ing than they were • raw wet ke since, and the samples
brought to market are all but tree from blight. A day's
rain would be beneficial to the gardens.
