MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The sittings of the court for the April General Quarter
Session were resumed on Monday morning at the Guildhall,
Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr.
Puhley, Q.C., haisistent Judge, Mr. Creasy, and a bench of
magistrates. There were 62 prisoners for trial, 43 charged
with felony, and nine with misdemeanour.
Wit!lam Prederick Augustus Cordesr, 26, (education supe-
rior), was indicted for stealing a gown, the property of Joseph
Cole.

Mr. Tindal Atkinson prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended
the prisoner.
The prosecutor is the landlord of a public-house tailed the
Maidenhead, in Gommll-street-road, where a concert or free
and may is held. On the evening of the 9th inst. the pri-
soner sad another man (his brother) were in the room where
the entertainment was going on, and at a late hour he was
missed, and hearing footsteps in the mom above, the prom-
ciao?a son went up, and found the prisoner coming out of
one of the bedrooms. He said he thought he was going to
the yard, and pretended to be intoxicated. On the room
being examined the drawers were found topsy-turvy, end a
valuable silk dress, which had been removed from one of
thew,was lying on the floor. The timely interposition of the
prosecutor's eon prevented the completion of the intended
robbery. The mere removal of the dress was sufficient to
charge the prisoner with having stolen it.
A witness named Joyce, who said he was a dealer in old
iron, and conductor of the concert room, said be saw the pri-
soner and his brother there on the night in question. They
had five or six glares of rum and water, but gave it nearly
all away. He over-heard a conversation in " slang" going
on between them, and noticed that the prisoner said to his
brother, " Ri bo to the caper, ka cap abernethy crackology
to the nibbs." (Mach laughter.)
Mr. Atkinson—Are you sufficiently versed in that mys-
terious language to be able to oblige us with • literal trans-
tion of what you have just uttered ?
Witnta—Yes, I understand it all. That means—" The
door is open, go up and unlock." (Laughter.)
Mr. Sleigh—Pray, what seminary were you brought up
in and taught this slang language, and to translate it so
glibly ? Yeu have associated a good deal, I should think,
wi th permits using
Witnaae—Yea I have, and I own it. It is language used
by a certain class of persona, flesh lads and thieves, and
I learnt it of them. That's what I heard him say, and
that's what it means.

Mr. Sleigh then addressed the jury, contending that the
evidence did not make out the case of stealing, and that the
prisoner, being intoxieeted, might have gone into the room
by accident.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It WWI stated that he had been tried at the Old Bailey, but
not for felony.
The Court sentenced him to four months' hard labour.

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLock.
The mining market to-day is completely stagnant.
Scarcely any business is going forward in any de-
scription of stock. Prices in most cues are merely
nominal.

St. John del Rey Mining shares are rather more
offered, and are marked 13k. Other foreign de-
scriptions exhibit no alteration.

Bye= implored his lordship to abate a nuisance of the
most intolerable kind wbich had for some time existed in the
locelity, and wee increasing. Evety Sunday morning im-
mense multitudes assembled in the lane and its vicinity to
sell articles of various sorts, and the scene between eleven and
one o'clock really beggared description. Vagabonds of all
kinds crowded to the place, and the inhabitants were rem.
dared perfectly helpless, while their property was exposed to
plunder.
Baker (635), en active detective, said that on Sundays the
whole of Petticoat-lane was in a hubbub. From eleven tat
one o'clock as many es 6,000 or 7,000 persons assembled
there, and amongst them were to be seen thieves gathered
together from all quarters of the metropolis. The police bed
found it to be frequently the case that when gentlemen had
bcen robbed within their observation it yea impcssible to get
at the thieves, who in bends assisted each other and escaped
amongst the multitude.
The Lord Mayor—l consider it to be my duty to maks a
merlons inquiry Into so monstrous • state of things, and I
shall take care to visit the place about which so formidable*
report has been made. I certainly cannot conceive how lay
part of the City of London could be allowed for any length

the mother of a child, she was cruelly deserted. He (the
learned counsel) proposed to call a member of the Scotch bar
to prove that the sound marriage was a honk fide one, ac-
cording to the law of that country.
Mr. Charles Sadler, a schoolmaster, residing at 3, Chtirton-
street, Pimlico, proved the first marriage. He was present
as a witness, on the 30th of October, 1842, at the pariah
church of Trinity, Upper Chelsea, when the prisoner_ in the
name of St. Wake. wee married to Mary Ann Sadler, wit-
ness's sister. He Hoed with her lour yea., and then aban-
doned her. Fortunately she had no chilcren by hint. She
wan still living.
The Prisoner here begged the magistrate to write to
France. He would then ascertain that Hilaire wee in a go-
vernment situation there. He (prisoner) had never been to
England till alter 1842. The parties were mistaken. Hilaire
wee a well-known political character.
The effrontery with which this statement was made ap-
peared to take the witness by surprise. Mr. Sadler added
that he knew the prisoner perfectly well, and the primmer
knew him. He had repeatedly come to the friends of wit-
nem's slater (the first w&), but they would have nothing to
do with him.

Anna Marta Froggatt deposed that she now lived at
Sheffield. She knew the prisoner, having first reeds his
acquaintance at Preston, in 1847, when be induced her to
leave her home and accompany him to Oretna-hall, in Scot-
land, where they were married according to the ceremony
observed there, and pronounced by the Rev. Mr. Linton,
the prim; to be legally man and wife. The prismer left he
with one child (a little girl), in 1861, and she had never seen
him since till that day in the court. She had to seek her own
bread by working in the millinery trade.
The Friamser—l enure you it is all a mistake. I know
nothing of these people. To save trouble, if you will not
write to the French government, I may as well plead guilty,

THE POLICE COUBTS.

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. Hammill committed Samuel Buryeu to prison for
two mouths with hard labour, for assaulting an " unfor-
tunate" young woman in the streeta on Thursday night.
The girl, whose evidence was supported by that of a female
companion, said she was quietly walking along with her
friend, when Bargees and another young man jostled them ;
she remonstrated, and received • blow in the face. Her aim
drew a constable to the spot, who found her with her mouth
bleeding. Bargees said he was molested, and only gave the
blow in self-defence, and called his brother, who was with
him at the time, to support the assertion. The magistrate
believed the girls.
LAMBETH.
Joseph Tucker, a crpple, about 60 years of age, who,
mounted in a little carriage which he propels with his hands,
has for years persecuted with his importunities all who walk
along Newington-place, wee charged with interrupting the
free course of the passengers on that thoroughfare.
The churchwardens of Newington described Tucker as an
importunate beggar and • public nuisance, so impudent to
those who retumed to come under tribute to him that ladies
often preferred the: muddy road to the footpath, of which
he had taken possession.
Mr. Norton gave the prisoner his choice, to be sent to the
workhouse and there taken care of, or to prison as a punish-
ment for his offence.

The prisoner after some hesitation, said he would prefer
the former, and was taken out of court, but in a few minutes
was wheeled back again, when the officers informed the ma-
gistrate that he had changed his mind, tched himself out
of his barrow and refused to be taken a single inch further
thsdirectioeof the workhouse.

On hearing this, Mr Norton committed him to prison for
one month.

THE WESTERN BANK OF SCOTLAND.

On the motion for going tots c<TmtrTittes; of supply,
Mr. BRADY drew attention to the circumstances con-
nected with the failure of the Western Beek of Scotland.
He denounced in strong terms the reckless conduct of the
directors and managers of that establishment, against whom
he preferred grave charges, sad he gave painful details of the
disastrous effects of the failure upon hu.de of families,
The LORD ADVOCATE, after removing an erroneous
impression regarding himself personally, observed that he
still had not before him any information that would justify
him in commencing a prosecution against the directors of the
Western Bank, and he thought it strange that the parties
who had furnished Mr. Brady with his information had net
thought fit to lay it before the public authorities. It was no
pert of his duty, as public prosecutor, to hunt oat virus;
the office of the Lord Advocate was to prow:ate at the
instance of injured parties, and this rule was peoulisrly ap-
plicable to commercial frauds. Had there bees, as in the
case of the Royal British Bank, disclosures before a Court
of Bankruptcy, he should have taken the same course es

of the vales of 23e., from the premises of Mr. rorolgalia.7.lll'Halle,
general dealer, 10, Cooper's-row, Tower-hill.
Mr. Hopwood appeared for the prosecution.
The prosecutor said—On Wednesday evening last I saw
the prisoner, who called at toy we:shone, and said he wanted
to bay goods, for which the Portuguese Society for the Pro-
, action of Jews would pay. He said that the society had
given him my address, and told him to ripply to ma for goods.
I do not think thereto such a society in ex stenos as the ass
he alluded to. He made a selection of articles congaing
chitty of portemonnalee, and ,ras told to call the next day. I
next saw him this =suing, when he handed me a latter, end
said " This is from the Portuguese Society." The very first
words of the letter convinced me it was a forgery. I
told him at once that I did not believe the letter
came from the society, upon which he matched it
out of my kande, thrust it into his mouth, and in two bites
swallowed it. (A laugh.) The purport of the letter was
that it was not convenbot for the bearer to pay that day for
the goods he had relected, but that he would do eo next week.
I then gave him into custody.
noses Offord, a youth in the employment of the prose-
cutor, said—l was at the warehouse yesterday when the pri-
soner celled and inked for the invoice. I told him that noes
of the redeem bad eons yet. He asked me f.+r a glue of

THE NEW REIGN OF TERROR.

TO Tlll •DITOI 07 TN' SMPRXIII.

Su,—The work of persecution in France is
going on silently, bat unceasingly. Doomed pri-
soners are emitioning to reach Marseilles eve
night from all the cl;partemetts. They are conveyed,
like the rept-is de justice, in cellular vans. The ar-
rests were all predetermined. They took place
sintultaueonsly in all localities a few days before
the promulgation of the Law of Public Safety, from
old and recent lista of names, merely marked with the
word " republican." They are very numerous. The
Governor of Algeria writes, urging for other places
of confinement being chosen. Algiers alone has
already 700 prisoners. It is, in the midst of, at least
apparent, tranquillity, a second and enlarged edition
of the coup deka.
The ferocity in the execution of the orders is
rivalling the Sillan despotism of the measure. Allow
me to quote a few instances.
M. Lebrun, a notary at Charot, arrondissement of
Bourges, department of the Cher, was arrested at
the end of his dinner. Struck by the suddenness of the
measure he was taken ill. He was refused all help, and
was brutally dragged into the van. On the way, at St.
Florent, he implored for a medical man, and was
equally refused. On reaching the maison d'arret,
at Bourget., his state was such that the gaoler de-
clined to receive him. He was taken to the hospital,
where, soon after, he died.
Jean Bartheix, innkeeper at Mazannet, depart-
ment of the Tarn, 70 years old, had been transported
to Cayenne in 1869, from whence, three years after,
he was removed to Algiers. He remained there
until February, 1868. Being then seized with a
severe complaint (swelling of the liver), he obtained
a ticket of leave for six months, and hastened home.
Eight days after he was 'treated, manacled, dragged
from prison to prison to Marseilles, where he is now
in a dying state and without any medical help.
Federico Castaldi, an Italian exile, residing at
Marseilles, and there earning his bread by trading,
was ordered on the 16th of November last to Poitiers.
He submitted ; but all his prospects and hopes
resting on his sojourning at Marseilles, he urged
some friends to act for him in Paris. His conduct
having been always peaceful and absolutely inoffen-
sive, he was listened to ; and the Chef de tillrete
Publique promised to M. Sallee, chief librarian at
the Ministry of the Interior, that his request would
be granted, should some respectable person come
forward as security for him. M. Taxile Delort
volunteered, and was accepted. On M. Sallee com-
municating the information to M. Beeson, Prefect at
Marseilles, Castaldi went back and took up his abode
at l'Estagne, a villa near the town. On the 29th of
January he was however arrested, thrown in prison ;
then, without a single interrogatory, sent, on the
2nd of April, to Lambesea.—l am, &c.,

THE POPES PRISONS.

A letter of the 11th instant, from Rome, says
that the prison of Paliano, about thirty miles from
the Eternal City, has again been made the scene of
a conflict between the prisoners, in a desperate
attempt to force their way oat, and the guard, who,
it will be remembered, on a similar occasion a
twelvemonth ago, fired upon them and killed seven
or eight of them. In the present instance no lives
were lost and a number of the prisoners estimated
by some accounts at not lees than sixty, actually
sieeseded in getting away. Ralf of them, how-
ever, have been recaptured, and the two chief
instigators of the revolt have been brought to Rome
for examinatioo. One of these is a better, who
during the revolutionary movements of 1848 was
an agent of the Republican government; the other
is a journeyman compositor, who was sent to prison
for printing revolutionary proclamations sent him
from abroad.

MINES.-THIS .DAY.

Two o'CLoci.
Owing partly to the absence of most of the lead-
ing dealers, the mining market to-day is very dell.
The only businces officially reported in the Stock
Exchange is in Alfred Consols shares, which
are marked 8,1. As regards most other descriptions,
yesterday's quotations are nominally current.
In foreign mining shares there is no movement
whatever. Port Philip Mining shares continue in
demand.

Subjoined is our usual weekly report of the metal
market :

There has Leon more Medium done during the past week,
end appearances for the future are better than for a long time
put. In °upper, the sales of foreign have been sufficiently
considerable to wade prices, and the expectation of a decline
in English is now pretty generally abandoned. Iron is not
actively sought for, bat some fair miles of Welsh menthe-
tared have been made. Staffordshire descriptions are dell of
Isle. Batch pig rose to 66e. cash early in the week, bat
have since receded Is. per ton. Lead has been bought more
largely, and is dearer. Tin is neglected, whilst tin plates
ere in fair inquiry.
Tuner Console sold yesterday 57 tone of silver lead ore, at
IV. Is. per ton.

The transactions in the mining market to-day
were rather more numerous. North Robert shares
were in demand, and were dealt in from 28e. to
32.. Bd. Tamar Mine shares were likewise inquired
for, whilst Alfred COllllO6 showed flatness. The fol-
lowing transactions are reported to us, viz.: South

Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Manley Smith ware causes! for the
plaintiff ; the Solicitor-General and Mr. Minion appeared
for the defendants.

The action was brought to recover etasperistion (or la-
jut y done to two marble chimney-pieces which had boa sent
from Stotwopon•Trent to London by the deentlases' rail-
way.

It appeared that the plaintiff is a masher of the dem of
Ptak Brothers, of Eastcheap. He had purchased the
chimney-piece; in Stadortlehire for 1401., end they were
carefully packed in three cases, end on the 10th of loly de-
livered to the defendants at Stoke, addressed to the Lin
tiff, to be left at Camden-town station until celled for.

when they were forwarded, and arrived at Camden-
town on the 2nd. On the - sth, notice was seat to the
plaintiff, but it did not reach him until the 7th. On the next
day he and for the cases, which appeared to be wet. Oa
opening them, the packing was found to be completely mea-

the plaintiff was only allowed 501. for them In exchange.
The defence was that the goods had been carried at the
owner's risk. When apt Italica was Met made to the
defendants in reference to the carriage, they stated they
would not be responsible 'or any decalitre, unless the goods
were Marred. The cases reataintd at the station at Stoke

SOUTH WAIL

In the coarse of th;afie reoon i;T;ble-bodied, healthy-
looking men applied $o Mr. Burnham for recommendations to
the Foreign.odlce for passports.
They stated that they earns from Cumberland, and had
situations provided for them on the railway near Hondenr, in
France. Prior to their leaving their native place they pro-
vided themselves with tecommendationa, and now hoped hta
. .

worship would assist them. .
•
Mr. Burnham called one of the men forward, and he ended
that they had been engaged by an English gentleman tit
work on the railway neer Hugely. They bad consequently
come up to London, thinking they could go quietly to their
work, but they were told they must have special purports.
Mr. Burch= told tbem they were mistaken in that view.
The order from the Fans-olio' wan that every English
subject who required a foreign purport moat apply to a ma-
gistrate for a recommendation. There was no speciality
about it, and as far as he was renamed he certainly should
grant an order to any one who wan known or had a oteiti.
cate for the purpose.
One of the men here produced a certificate, showing that
they were engaged on the French railway, but they had no
friend here to recommend them. They hoped his worship
would grant them the usual order.
Mr. Burritens said he certainly should do so, u he wee
peelbetily satisfied as to the spplicanta. Under midi dream
Manor le did not require any specified recommendation.

ship for his kinder. -

The Duchess of Manchester will be Mistress of
the Robes.

Sir John Pakington and Sir B. L. Bulwer Lytton
will, as we have already stated, be members of the
government. It is not yet known whether the
health of the Dake of Northumberland will admit
of his acceptance of the post of First Lord of the
Admir►lty.
The Chancellorship of Ireland has been offered
to Judge Blackburne, but his anwer his not been
received.

The title by which the new Lord Chancellor will
take his seat in the House of Peers is that of Lord
Woodstock. Sir Frederic Thesiger has chosen this
title because he was first returned to parliament for
that place.

Lord Harding° is to be the Under-Secretary for
War.

To-morrow a Privy Council will be held, at which
the resignation of the late administration will be
completed, and the new ministers will rewire the
seals of aloe. To-morrow also parliament will ad-
journ for about ten days to afford time for the
elections.

We (Post) are enabled to state that the three
vacant Garters in the gift of Lord Palmerston have
been conferred upon the Dates of Wellington, Nor-
folk, and the Earl of Harrowby.
Mr. Hayter is to be made a baronet.
Mr. Griffith,, the Irish civil engineer, is also to

THE CRISIS.

(Birmingham Doily. Post).
Lord John Russell is pre-eminently the man for
the sitttstioit. _

(Edinburgh Express).
If Lord Dfleittil=lll fall to forma miniary with which
he ma face we are mngnine that the teak will be
committed to the of Lord John Russell, who, with
Bir James Graham and the leading Paelitee and Independent
hberale, occupies a position that would enable him to deal
with the French government in that firm and dignified
MAIM which alone will sail* the opinion of the nooatry.

(Ardor,' Dally 9sprw■).
A few of Lord Palmerston's friends in the press hold by
the oyiston that the defeated minister will very speedily be
to alma They will soon and out their mistake.

(Ths !reran.* Fflig).
What if Lord Palmerston should have quietly connived at
his own defeat? The thing is not at all improbable. • • •
We most have Lord Pshnerston back immediately.
-

(The frighten Guardian.)
were Lord Palmerston now to pursue the policy he began
this tints last year on the Chines. question, he would again
appeal to the country ; but that would only be to remiss
from It a confirmation of the decision of the House of Com-
moos against him. The noble lord certainly mounted like
a roeket lest year amidst splendid flashes and sparks and loud
buss, to come down this year in darkness and solitude,
very little =deed end very like a stick. In whatever
meaner the presient aids fa ministerial affairs may turnout,
Lord Pabsterston's eerier seems at an end. He may be
pitied; but he never will be, and pprobably never has been,
respected. The detest at the midsten opens en entirely
new prospect to the liberal ppaarrttyy, sad will demand bons
them a vigorous, wise, mad eompnbmalve policy.

TUB UNANSWEItED DESPATCH.

We find the following statement in the Scotsman
of yesterday. We suppose it is meant in kindness
to Lord Palmerston:

The facts we are about to slate, though they have not
hitherto transpired, may, we have good reaaon to believe, be
taken as correct. Immediately en the receipt of the despatch
the gown:meet, viewing the document se one which, though
net demanding not even susceptible of a categorical reply,
might or might not be formally answered, just ea policy
memel to direct, resolved that, on the whole, it was better to
mower It in writing. A reply, therefore, weir written, couched,
it is understood, in pretty strong terms. Bat before being
converted into a formal despatch, it was, ht the Bret
instance, so is the case of all similar documents, read or, as it
la technically celled, "communicated," to the French Am-
bassador, who expressed a very strong desire that it should
not be !awarded In such a form as to necessitate Be publi-
ell. The mollve of Ude request was not that the reply wonkl
I Wind tIA French Emperor or his Ministers, but that, in the
Brea excited slate of pope's, holing in France, its publica-
tion would greatly lumen the eurterreanneets of the go-
eminent In conseqnsca of this representation, Lord
Clesendos—we presume with the consent of his collesgues,
and certainly with that of Lord Pidmerstca—ultimataly con.
mated to allow the document to remain In the shape of what
ie known as a "pslos conessessipiele," or more an efecial letter
than a diplomatic despatch. It thsredkee did not come within
the scope of papers laid before parliament.

Mr. Adam Bittleatooe, of the Midland Circuit, is
said to have been smutted by the late ministry to
the vacant Indian judgeship.
