OXFORD CIRCIIIT.-01.ormurres, MARCH. 31.
Cans, Cover.—Before Mr. Justice Creeswell.
BITENSILVE ROBBERY OF MONZT.—E. Bryant, 30, and
J. Jeferies, 43, were severally charged with stealing, at
Bitton, an iron chest, containing a quantity of gold, silver,
and copper coin, amounting to about 801., the property of
Samuel Whittuek, Req.—Samuel Stone, the first witness,
micl he was in the employ of the prosecutor, and resided at
the counting-house, at Sandywell Pitt. The money taken
dwing the day by the " Rifler," was brought to the count-
ing-Muse every evening, and deposited in an iron chest in
Stone's bedroom. On the 25th of November last, the
witness r tit the day's receipts into the chest, locked it, put
the key in a cupboard which he also locked, and took the
key away. The prisoner Jefferies, who was a clerk in the
employ of the prosecutor, saw the money deposited in the
chest. The witness and prisoner had agreed to go to Down-
end, where they w ere to meet at half-peat 4 o'clock. Wit-
ness was punctual to his time, but Jefferies did not arrive
until half-past five o'clock. On arriving home, between
- • and nine o'clock, he found that the chest cen-
t the money was gone. Footsteps were traced
three fields, and also marks where the chest had been
down ; and trim the neat field the track of a wheel-

TILE LATE RIOTS.-THE KENT ROAD
ASSOCIATION.

A public meeting was held last night, at the Swan
Tavern, in the Old Kent-road, for the formation of an asso-
ciation to give protection to the district against the depreda-
tions of lawless mobs. . . . .

•
Mr. PtilLLlStottE said he would read to them a resolution
which he meant to propose for their adoption. The resolu-
tion was at follows :—lhat, experience havieg;proved to us
the necessity there is, at times like the present, to aid mist
assist each other from the tumultuous proceedings of lawless
mobs, principally composed of thieves and plunderers,
whose only object is spoliation of property, and who gene-
rally congregate at every public meeting : Resolved, That
the inhabitants who have signed the requisition do hereby
form themselves into a society, to be called the Kent-road
Mutual Protection Association ; that a captain and lieute-
nants be appointed, and that every man provide himself
with a band to be worn on the right erm, and a
truncheon ; and also hold himself ready to act when
called on. The meeting would understand that their
association was solely for the protection of the Kent-road,
and to defend themselves against lawless and plundering
mobs, such as the district had been exposed to during the
late riots. The magistrates had approved of their asso-
ciation, as being the most constitutional species of force that
could he established, and he bad no doubt it would be most
useful in preserving the peace.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. lloncinon, and
unanimously agreed to.
The chairman (Mr. Martin) was elected captain of the
association, aid Mr. Filmer was appointed to act as de-
puty-lieutenant ; and, ten lieutenants having been elected,
thanks were given to the chairman, and the proceedings
terminated.

AMERICA.

The Fidelia, Captain Huckstaff, arrived at Liver-
pool last night, with dates from New York to the
16th nit. There is no news of moment.

The following is from the New York Ikeald of
the 16th Mt.:
The absence of the steamer, now in her nineteenth day,
has • depressing influence upon the stock market, and
cannot expect much activity, or any material change
in prices, until she arrives. Considerable anxiety is
manila eelto learn the character of the commercial in-
tellir nee from the other side, as prices for our great ex-
porting staple depend upon it, and tke money markets
of this country will be regulated for some time by it.
In the event of another advance in cotton having been
realised in Liverpool, or even if the advance last reported
is sustained, there must be an improvement in finan-
, ciul affairs, generally, here, as exchange will drop be-
' low current rates, and all apprehension relative to
further shipments of specie diseppear. 'ibis will relieve
the banks, and they will discount more liberally. It is the
impression among cotton speculators that the Cambria will
bring arc .unts of • alight reaction in the Liverpool market;
that the sdvance was too great to be entertained in the
absence of a corresponding improvement in the =ulnae-
turing districts.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, APRIL 5.
A vacancy has been created on the Scotch Episco-
pal bench by the death of Dr. Russell, Bishop of
Glasgow and Galloway. As the author of several
popular literary works, Dr. Russell was better known
in England than most of his brethren. He was the
author of the "Life of Oliver Cromwell," in " Con-
stable's Miscellany," a subject which, from his high
church principles, was scarcely safe in his hands;
and he contributed "Palestine," "Nubia and Abys-
sinia," " Polynesia.," &e., to the "Edinburgh Cabinet
Library." The Scotsmen says that his works con- 1
sisted principally of contributions to the " Family
Library," &c., and that he wrote a " History of the
Jews," and "Travels in Palestine;" but this is all,
wrong. The bishop wrote nothing in the " Family
Library," and the books named are mistaken for a
" Connexion of Sacred and Profane History," and a
compilation on the " History and Topography of
Palestine." Dr. Russell was in his 69th year, and
had been 40 years minister of a chapel in Leith, and
11 years a bishop.

IRISH DECLARATION AGAINST REPEAL OF
THE UNION.

The following declaration has been circulated throughout
Ireland, and is altogether distinct from the declaration of
confidence in Lard Clarendon. It rune thus :
We, the understgned, believing that an agitation now going on for a
repeal of the legislative union Le productive of serious detriment to the
pmsperity and peace of the country, and, diner:meta, would dismember
the empire, and entail incalculable misery on Ireland, hereby declare
our solemn determination to maintain the union between Great
Britain and Ireland, and discountenance the repeal agitation by every
memo in our power.—Signed, Leinster, Kildare, J. G. Armagh, J. L.

The committee, who are getting up signatures to the de-
claration, have enclosed the preceding paper in the following
circular :

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, MAY 31.
As the Irish trials have caused frequent reference
to the jury system of Scotland, it is perhaps necessary
to explain that in criminal trials a majority of jurors
can return a verdict ; but in civil cases, following
the English plan, the verdict must be unanimous.
The latter mode has never been popular in Scotland,
and it must be to it that Mr. Hume referred when he
stated in the Home of Commons that the system did
not work well. The procedure in criminal trials now
gives universal satisfaction; but it is greatly altered
since 1791, when Muir,the Scottish martyr, was tried.
At that time, amongst other atrocities, the judges; had
the direct selection of the jury.
The return of cases disposed of in the Courtotalivl
sion during 1817 amounted to 410, being nearly' Mi..
same as the two preceding years. The inequalties

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

BATTLE BETWEEN THE GERMANS AND

TILT DANES.

We have accounts from Hamburg, of the 30th ult.,
announcing the success of the Danes over the Hano-
verian troops, under General Ilalkett, in an engage-
ment which took place at Sunderwitt. The Schleswig-
Holstein Journal gives the following, under the head
of " ltendsburg, May 29, 1848:'
This afternoon tee news arrived here of a serious contest
between the German and Danish troops at Sundcwitt.
Yesterday (Sunday) was appointed for edifying the
advanced posts of the confederate troops opposite
Alsen. Of this the Danes received notice by nit aus
of their spies. Reinforced by troops which must have been
brought from Funds to Alien, they landed on the mainland,
which circumstance the Germans did not deem of import-
ance, as their attention was taken up by the arrival and de-
parture of their own troops. Directly after the new piequets
were posted, they found themselves attacked by a large num-
ber of Danish troops, supported by artillery beneath the
heiahts of Dupeller, whilst at the same time a number of ves-
sels of war and gun-boats appeared to the west of Ekenaund
(near Alover and Treppe), as if a landing were also to be
effected there. It was evident that the Danes by this would
endeavour to divide the attention of the German forces. On
the Duphela heights • very severe combat Souk place, by
which great numbers were killed and wounded on both
sides. No returns have yet been furnished of the num-
bers. The Danes fought with the greatest bravery. Their
numbers in the field were stated to be 8,000 men,
whilst the Germans had only 7,000. The battle lasted
several hears, but at seven in the evening the German troops
retreated by Gravenstein, and to the north towards Quars,
and the Danes advanced to near Gravenstein.
The private reports speak of the lose of the Germans as
near 1,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners, and six pieces
of cannon. It is not known whether the Danes will retire
again to Alien, or await reinforcements on the main-land.
There are no further accounts from Rendsberg by the
evening train, but a traveller, just arrived from Copenhagen,
says that a combined KOMitlll, Swedish, and Danish fleet
was off that city, with which was Prince Constantine.
Oar Hamburg correspondent, writing on the 30th
ult., sayer—Them must have been some neglect on
the German aide, otherwise 7,000 men could not be
surprised and beaten by 8,000, if really there were so
many. Some people from the German part of the
Duchy of Schleswig, for instance from the towns
of l[aderaleben and Apenrade, fled to this for fear of
being overrun again by the Danes.
It was expectedtbat the captured vessels would have
been released; but, by to-day's letters from Copen-
hagen, it appears that the Prize Court has con-
demned some of them. However, as these letters
arc dated the 27th, and the ratified treaty was not
sent off from the Prussian head-quarters before the
26th, it could not have reached the Danish capital
on that day.

with the wilful
murder of John Wall, who was shot on the 17th
of December last whilst he was in his cottage. He
lingered until the 29th, when he died, having previously
made a statement which was taken down in writing by ;a
magistrate. In this statement the deceased said that on the
afternoon of the I;th December he was at home by himself,
when he was fired at through the window. He bobbled to
the back door, and saw the prisoner running across a field.
Two brothers of the prisoner. who were with him when the
shot was fired, had been indicted, but the bill was ignored
by the grand jury ;they were then arraigned upon the coro-
ner's inquisition, and, no evidence being, offered, were ac-
quitted. They were then called as witnesses on behalf
of the prisoner, but proved nothing material. At the
close of the evidence the Judge summed up, and pointed
out to the jury that a remarkable feature in this cue was
the entire absence of any assignable motive for the commis-
sion of the crime.—The jury retired for a few minute*, and
returned a verdict of Guilty.—The learned Jude, in pass-
ing sentence, said that the Jury had evidently with great re-
luctance returned the verdict against him convicting him of
wilful murder. He did not know whether he was more
shocked at the dreadful crime of which the prisoner was
found guilty, or the reckleamess which the pnseuer had
exhibited throughout the trial, and which he even then
exhibited. The learned Judge then passed sentence of death.
—Throughout the trial the prisoner appeared quite indif-
ferent ; and at the awful moment when sentence was being

LATEST FROM PARIS.

MANIFESTO OF THE MODERATE PARTY.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 530 P.M.
An article, which may be regarded an the mani-
festo of the moderate party on the subject of the pre-
sidency, appears in the Constitutionnel of this morn-
ing. We give it at length :
We have indicated that there were only two candidates
in presence, Gen. Cavaignac end Louis Bonaparte, and we
have captained the motives which render impossible the
candidature of Gen. Cavaiguac to the moderates. To conclude
against the general was to conclude for his competitor, to
abstain under such circumstances not being a nurse
of good policy or patriotism. We think that the moderate
suffrages will be concentrated on M. Louis Bonaparte. nal
we approve this disposition of the moderate party. If the
choice to be made bad depended on us alone, we should
undoubtedly have preferred one of the eminent men whose
known talents and experience might have been rendered
useful in the services o: his c.suntry, but it must be acknow-
ledged that at the moment when the gratin of the candi•
&stun arose, the greater part of the population had &heady
decided in favour of Louis Napoleon. Vnen we speak
of
the moderate party, we must explain ourselves. We extend
that designation to all citizens, enlightened or not, poor or
rich, ouvrien or labourers, who, spread over all
the surface of the country, profess
ht
great prin-
ciples on which society rests, and have determined
decidedly on the maintenance of order, phygioal
and moral, with all its essential conditions. Those
innumerable citizens whom bad doctrines have not
perverted or misled, liberal and conservative, as
wince 'B9, form almost the whole of the country,—they
are France itself. Now, it is certain that amongst those who
cultivate the soil and work in the ateliers, a greet number
had, in advance, adopted the candidature of Louis Bonaparte,
by two almost instinctive sentiments, the remembrance of a
great name, and the dmire of taking the government of the
republic out of the hands of the minority which has held it tor
eight months, in ord., that France should govern her-
self. Ia presence of this fact, there remained to us,
who had to discuss the political question beton readers
accustomed to judge soundly, and to contribute our
share to form their definitive reeolution,—there remained
two tonnes to take, either to propose a third candidate or to
support that on whom a nniderable portion of the popula-
tion, prudent, and lovers of order, had already chosen. To
endeavour to tarn to another candidate the nwaeross votes
pledged to Louie Bonaparte was to attempt an impala:arty,
according to the opinion of infernal men, who knew the
state of the public mind in France. The onlymalt obtained
would have been the division of the moderate votes. The
experience of the two last electir.e hie theme the hue deer.

from our correspondent at Naples:
NAPLES, Nov. o.—Elections are taking place in the pro-
vinces. Forty new deputies are to be returned from various
districts which had hitherto neglected to send their repre
tentative. to the chambers. The intent cabinet is very
active in forwarding these elections, by which means they
hope to get a majority. The liberal, or rather constitutional,
party are determined to work the new laws ; on the other
hand the friends of the existing ministry are inclined to
govern by anything bat the articles of the constitution.
Naples cAitinum tranquil, although the preparations on
the part of the military would appear to anticipate an attack
from the people. These precautions may originate from the
known unpopularity of the present government, together
with the exciting news from Germany.
The army is very actively recruiting. Volunteers receive
eight ducats. This arguesthe Kings intention to recom-

PALACE COURT, WESTMINSTER -Y EBTERDLY.

Before W. B. Brere, Eaq., Judge.
RIGHT OP ATTORNEYS OF THE SUPERIOR COURTS TS
PRACTISE IN THE PALACR COURT.—This qutstion sons
argued at considerable length yesterday by Mr. Pulling, on
the petition of Mr. P. Jacquet, who sought to break through
the monopoly which limits the number of practising attor-
neys in this court to six, founding his application on the
6 & 7 Victoria, c. 73, the 27th section of which enacted that
every person who should be admitted an attorney of the
superbn courts at Westminster should be admitted an attor-
ney of any inferior court, on signing the rolls, and entitled
to practise, on payment of the fees demanded, both of which
Mr. Jacquet was prepared to do. The learned gentleman
concluded by observing that he was sure, tufted of doing
injury to the gentlemen privileged, it would increase their
practice, as many persons would bring their cases to that
court who were opposed to the operation of the New Small
Debts Act.—Mr. Best having been also heard in support of
the application—the Judge said the case was one of so much
importance that he must defer giving judgment until the
next court day.

nings, had all been taken into t ustd;y on the 4th ult. After

was he who committed the robbery, and that his wife let
him in unknown to Rogers. her sister. He said that he
conceited himself on the premises. end afterwards took the
plate away and buried it, but note,' not tell where.—The
prisoner, who said that the dilater part of what Osborne
had stated was false, wax committed for trial.

given last year, it was necessary that a new
rector should be elected.—Mr. Mortleon said, that
be had the honour of proposing for the office of lord rector a
man distinguished no ler as a poet than an orator, who
owed nothing to birth nor rank, but everythlag to himself,

military readers are aware that, In the rifle regiments, the bayonet,
which is larger than the ordiwy one, is carried in a sword or waist
belt, as It is technically ceded, and the change proposed would have
the rffect of asslnulating the mode of wearing the bayonet in all mgt.
ments, whether rifle or otherwise. This change would, it Is omit.
