MINT Or CERRIRIIIIILL —COMPRNSATION CASS.—Io this
cue Henry Towell, knacker, er horse slaughterer, of Cow-
creme, claimed of the Commissioners for the Improvemi at of
Clethenwell the sum of 3,6861. for certain pinnies which
were required by the oomminioners, under the act for the
continuation of the new street from Farringi.on-street, Rol.
horn-bridge, to Clerkenwell-green. Mr. Under-Sheriff
Bure.hell, being :connected with the oommis,ion, preferred
running neutral, and the assessor on the occasion was
Mr. flerjeant Wallinger.—Mr. Montague Chambers, QC.
and Mr. Paabley appeared for the claimant, and
Mr. Edwin James for the commissioners.—The
•pee~we are situated in the densely populated neigh-1
bourhose' of Cow-cram. In 1846 the commissioners gave
the clainunt notic, that they should ri quire the premises
need by him for slaughter-hours, and in compliance with
the statute the claimant within • month at erwards
teli-
v. red to the commissioners the particulars of his claim for
compensation, the sum total of which was 3,6961., and it was
urged that from the contiguity of his premises to the
Smithfield marlin, and the advantages of drain-
age afforded by the Fleet-ditch, his premises were
peculiarly adapted for the business earned on there,
' aid therefore that he was entitled to special
compensation on that account. At that time the commis.
eionen bad at their disposal finds which they employed in
the eurchase of the interests of varione parties on the property
in the line of the projected street, and
in which are"theatdild not then con-
template the state of poverty now, far
they have been without nuns Ines 1848, an they have net
say may with which to pay even the necessary every-day
eveness of the commiudon. ' The claimant was Nazism to
the matter to a termination, and as the mem&
lianas did net from the condition of their imams
evince any disponi= to take further immedien
steps in it, he applied to the Court Si=
Bench for, end onbionantly obtainer!, •_a

for which he could gin no satisfeetary account.
—W. &snide!, clerk to the district church of Bf. Andrew's,
Kingwood, Surrey, deposed that on Wednesday morning
he west to the alswee, and faun' that widths use meat of
e window was broken. leavhii a Wes large emsfash e.r a man
to tad • ladder lying la the shwelyard,widel had evi-
dently been wed for the of getting to the window.
Witness on making this keen entered the elswoh, and
mimed from the coma the table lanes a ear-
pike, and some articles of lees mdse, all wheels things he saw
safe on the neOt of Sunday, the 31st of last month.—A con-
stable stated that the pa ith church of Button, near Maid-
ens:se had been brokea into between the Bth and 9th of
November, and plundered of a variety of property. lenteollese
the whiskies carried away were 29 pieces of silver coin
of the reign of Qui en Elisabeth, which were highly pd
by the rector sad inhabitants of the parish. They ha been
dug up in the formation of a grave in a part of the church-
yard which had not been disturbed for many yean_, and were
placed in the mazy-room as a great curiosity. On the Bth
of Nov., the day after the robbery, twenty.two of the coins
were sold to a person named Salomon, a jew, at Chatham,
and Mrs. Clef; the wife of a pawnbroker, at the some place,
purebred two of the silver coins stolen, from a man whose
description wawa-red in every particular with that of the
prisoner, and whose identify be had no doubt to be able to
prove by the attendance of Mrs. Cleff and Salomon.—G.
Gill, clerk of Trinity District Church, Bromley-common,
Kent, deposed that on Sunday, 17th Dec , otter the morning
prayers, the prisoner came into the church and requested to
light a cigar. After much difficulty he procured a light from
the flue, and went away. Ihe same morning or night the
church was broken into, and every article of value which it
contained was carried away. The entrance had been effected,
as is the last instance, by removing a portion of the window.
Mr. Keene, the paler at Horeemonger-lane Prison, said that
on the prisoner being brought to his prison on Wednesday
evening las' he was recognised as the person who had es-
gaped frog. Kingston Prison in Apr 11,1846, and he was there-
fore HA'e to be tried for the escape, and to be transported
for life.—Mr. Becker committed the prig- net. for trial on the
charge of stealing the srtkles found in his posees.ion from
Kingswood Church, observing, at the same time, that he
might, if necessary, be tut upon his trial ler escaping from
prison.
THAMBB.—Twn DANIA AND THE BCHLIBWIO-HOL-
@TUNDRA —I. Waif, master of the Danish vessel Fanny,
and M. P. Mortimer, one of his crew, and two other Danish
octane, K. Jarmo' and E A. Elam, were finally exa-
mined, charged with creating a riot in the Bast India Docks,
and tearing down the rational flaas from the Lucia, the
Bite, and the Pax, three vessels belonging to the duchy of
Schleswig-Holstein.—Mr. Clarkson said he appeared on be-
half of Mr. F. Wilson, the Danish consul, who wished it to
be understood that he gave no countenance to either of the
parties engaged in the disturbances which had taken place at
the Bast India-docks, nor was he there to justify the conduct
anther of them. It would, however, be necessary to ob
serve that the duchy of Holstein bad no recognised flag
in the port of London, but obtained entrance for its
vessels ins this port in virtue of • treaty which it had en-
tered into with Denmark. Perhaps, therefore, his worship
would be of opinion with him (Mr. Clarkaoa) that it was
very indestotons in the subjects of a state avail-
ing itself of such a treaty to hoist a Bag which
was calculated to provoke feelings of hostility. As
the parties charged had new been made aware that they
must not violate the laws of this country, whatever may be
the provocation offered, he hoped his worship a euld let them
go about their busineu. He also Loped that the people of
fiebleswig-Holettio would be made to understand the im-
propri-ty of availing themselves of Danish protection in this
port ; and, at the same time hoisting a gag esleulased to
provoke and outrage the feelings of the people of Denmark.
—Mr. Yardley said that when the case was before him on a
former wanton he th alined to interfere as to the merits of
any divine, between the 'ultimo of any two dependent or
independent states, but inquired into the matter with •
view to ascertain whether or not a breach of the laws of
this country had been committed. He looked at the
charge net so much in the light of a private injury us breach
of toe laws of Bugland. The Decks Company fed expressed
a desire that no further proceedings should be had in the
ease. r ith that request he (Mr. Yardley) was willing to
comply ; but if any further riots should take Mace, the per-
sons taking part in them would certainly be proceeded
against for violating the laws of this country. In making
these observations he wished to have it distinctly nodal stood
that he offered no opinion as to any differences which may
exist between the Danes and the Schleswig-Holateiners.

Cltakol OP MURDER COXXITTBD Tax YEARS *oo.
.1. Regan, an Irishman, was charged with wilful murder.—A
constable said that from information he had received, he had
arrested the prisoner that day on the charge of having com-
mitted a murder in Ireland nine or tea years ago, and on
further inquiry he fund out the man who saw the murder
committed.—T. Coghlan said he had been two years in this
country. Oa the 17th of March, 1840, or rather he believed
1839, he lived in the village of Kelbronogue, in the parish of
Skull, in Ireland. He kir w John Sullivan, the deceased,
sad the prisoner. He saw Regan strike Sullivan on the heal.
He heat him on the back part of the head until his skull was
broken, Out the doctor said it wisent that that killed him,
though it would be enough to do so, but a blow that he got
over the temple. He lived three weeks after be got the beat-
ing, and when he died a warrant was issued against Regan,
whom witness did not again see until he came to thiscountry.
—lnspector Lewis said he understood an inquest had been
held on the bode, and a verdict of " wilful murder" re-
turned.—Mr. Yardley told the prisoner that he could say
what he pleased, but it would be written down.—Prisoner
I had no more hand in hitting him than you had, gentle-
men. I saw Sullivan when he was lying in his bed, and
said to him, " You have no charge against me, Jack ?" and
he said he bad not.—Coghlan : Yes, you said it was your
brother-in-law did it then, but you know I saw you, Jerry.
—Prisoner: 'Twee a man of my name t at did it ; and
is it likely that that man there would be looking me in the
face these two years and never say a word about it before
—Mr. Yardley said he would remand the prisoner for •
wiek, and in the mean time directed the officers to commu-
nicate on the subject with the proper authorities in Ireland.

MONEY MARKET.

TUZSDAY EVIINING,

The Bank of England opened iisririWitc:thePaolic
duly entitled for the payment of dividends to-day, and
was favoured with the usual fell attendance. The
funds opened strong on the occasion, with Consols at
891; they afterwards improved to 891 to 1, and were
bought at the latter full rate. But towards the close
of the day, with business rather dull, these rates were
not entirely maintained, although Consols still left off
891 to 1 ex dividend both for money and account.
Reduced Threes were 891 to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents., 894 to 1. Long Annuities, 8 11-16 to
t. Exchequer Bills, 445. to 465. prem. India Bonds,
445. to 465. prem. Bank Stock, 189 to 191.
The foreign market was almost without change.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 48 to 9 ; the
Fours, 76 to 7. Belgian, 74 to 6. Russian, 102 to
4. Spanish Fives, 14 to 4; the Threes, 27 to 1 ;
Passive, 31 to 4. Portuguese, 251 to 61. Mexican,
25 to 4. New Granada improved to 14 to 15. Bra-
zilian were 75 to 7. Chilian, 87 to 9. buenos Ayres,
24 to 6. Venezuela, 18 to 20. Peruvian, 48 to 50.
A letter from the Peruvian envoy, which appears
in a morning paper, explanatory of his course of pro-
ceeding since his arrival in this country with re-
ference to the official proposals for the arrangement of
the debt since agreed to, and of which it now appears
he was not the bearer, as supposed, has excited much
attention in City circles. It is only just to say that
the explanations of his excellency appear frank and
satisfactory so far as he is concerned, and that he
stands acquitted upon this showing of having
in any shape assisted by indiscretion, improper
confidences, or otherwise, in promoting the ne-
farious speculation in Peruvian Bonds, to the pre-'
judice equally of the bondholders and the public,
which was carried on by some parties who somehow
or other became possessed of the secret. The letter is
of value also for the precise dates which it furni-hes
with respect to this Peruvian affair, and which must
materially help to unravel certain complexities.
Another letter from Senor Rivero, the Peruvian
Consul-General, accompanying and inclosing that of
Senor Osmir, the Peruvian envoy, states, moreover,
that
_" at this moment circumstances of a grave
character are endeavoured to be kept secret, and a
direct reply to his (the envoy's) letter withheld."
The matter cannot of course rest where it is. The
chairman and deputy chairman of the Spanish Amer-
ican committee, to each of whom his Excellency Senor
Osma a:dressed copie, of the letter now published,
have yet to be bend, and will of course not be slow
with their explanations, for distinct references and
complaints uf made in the letter, of some parts of
their conduct in the business. As the Express,
under this head, wu the first, and for some time stood
alone, to call public attention to the discreditable
character of the speculation in Peruvian bonds, and to
stigmatise it in the only terms, harsh as they might
sound, which could intelligibly represent it, it will be
seen that enough has transpired already to show
that we were not without a clue to the
secret of what was going forward, fully exonerating
Senor Osma at the same time from any imputation
other than that of having been innocently or indis-
creetly accessory perhaps by ill-bestowed confidences
in one or other quarter. It may be observed as a
singular want of courtesy, not to place upon it a
harder construction, that this letter of Senor Osma to
the chairman and deputy chairman of the committee is
dated as it wasdelivered on the sth of this month, com-
plaining of misrepresentations, omissions, and the ab-
sence of proper explanations ontheir part at the meeting
of the bondholders, and requiring rectifications,
re tractations. and the whole tenth for his own
justification; vet that on the Bth (yesterday) no
answer had been received from either one or the
other, beyond a note of five lines from the chairman,
in which he touches not ace single point at issue, but
contents himself with briefly saying that " finding
