POLICE SAGACITY.—FINDING A " MARE'S NEsT.”—Thos.
Vernon, a respectable looking middle-aged man, was
charged with being drunk and assaulting the police.
Police-constable 402 V said that last night at about 12
o'clock the defendant was walking through the King's-
road, Chelsea, and a conversation occurred between them,
in the course of which the defendant detailed the annoy-
ance he had experienced from a dog having Hewn at him,
and threatened what he would do if it occurred again.
Complainant, observing that he had a basket in his hand,
became suspicious that there was something dishonestly
obtained in it, and asked defendant if it was heavy, and
upon the latter saying it was not, and returning to the ad-
venture of the dog, complainant said he must see what was
in it, and was proceeding to examine it, when defendant
took out a bit of wood from it and struck him with it. lib
took the defondant, who was drunk, into custody, and on

examination of the basket it turned out to contain some
tins to make pies in.

Defendant said he obtained a living by selling pies, and
was returning with the empty tins when he found himself
stopped by the policeman, who insisted upon examining his
basket. A slight scuffle might have occurred in taking the
bit of wood out of the basket, but he denied striking him.
Mr. Selfe (to the constable)--Did lie first speak to you
or you to him ?

Policeman—He first spoke to me.
Mr. Selfe—What induced you to suspect he had any pro-
perty dishonestly come by in his basket ?
Policeman—Because he began talking to me about tho
dog, and I thought that that was to take my attention off
the basket.

Mr. Selfe—Was that all ?
Policeman—Yes, sir.

Mr. Selfe—l don't follow your process of reasoning, that
because he talked of a dog ho had something in his basket
he did not want you to see. Is there anything known
against defendant ?

Policeman—Nothing.
Mr. Selfe—l can't see how this was in tho execution of
your duty,unless there was some circumstance of suspicion,
which I cannot find. If every one walking with a basket
is to be stopped to have it searched, honest people as well
as bad characters will be interfered with.
Defendant was discharged.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to abolish
imprisonment for debt, or rather so much of it as remained
unrepealed by recent legislation. The general opinion
throughout the country was that imprisonment of a debtor
for nonpayment of a debt was neither just nor useful, and
although the present opportunity might enable them
to make certain improvements in the bankruptcy laws,
yet he did not intend to deal with the ques-
tion at present. By the present bill it was proposed
to abolish imprisonment for debt, and that no formal
discharge by the bankruptcy laws should be available to
protect future property unless the bankrupt should have
paid a dividend of ss. in the pound, or unless he obtained
the assent of his discharge from four-fifths of his creditors.
The bill was read a first time.

THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS.
The following Peers were appointed a select com-
mittee to inquire into all the circumstances connected with
the resignation of Mr. Edmunds, of the office of clerk of
the patents and clerk to the commissioners of patents, and
also his resignation of the office of reading clerk and
clerk of out-door committees in that house. Also
to inquire into all the circumstances connected with
the grant of a retiring pension to him by this
house :—The Lord President, the Earl of Derby, the Duke
of Somerset, the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Durham,
the Earl of Mahnesbury, the Earl of Donoughmore, Lord
Panmure, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Lord Houghton, and

SHROPSHIRE UNION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Shrewsbury yesterday ; the Earl of Powis in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders
on the large dividend, which was consequent on that
of the London and North-Western Company. He
thought that was very much to be attributed to the
ability with which Mr. Moon, the chairman of
the latter company, had performed his responsible
and laborious dudes, and particularly to the courage
and perseverance he had shown in discarding the old
traditions of railway animosity, and endeavouring
to establish a more harmonious and combined action
between the different companies whose systems are
interlaced with the London and North-Western lines.

The vacancy in the Board, caused by the death of
Mr. R. Barrow, had been filled up by the election
of Mr. R. Moon.

The report was adopted, and a dividend .at the
rate of £3 10s. per annum was declared.
The retiring directors were re-elected, and also
the retiring auditor.

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the committees,
Mr. Burke and Mr. Millward having been heard on
both sides, the committee decided on passing the bill
for the Maryport and Carlisle, and rejecting that of
the Whitehaven Junction and Cockermouth and
Workington. The case of the Dover, Deal, and
Sandwich Railway was called on in Mr. Ingham's
committee. Mr. Calvert appeared for the promoters,
and Mr. Round for the London, Chatham, and
Dover, and Mr. Somerset for the Dover and Deal
Railway, who compete with it and oppose. The ob-
ject of the bill is to make three new railways—the
first of nine miles from the London, Chatham, and
Dover, near to its Shepherds-well station, to the
South-Eastern at Deal; the second of two miles, from
the first at Eastry to the South-Eastern at Sandwich
station; and the third from the first to thewest bank
of the Stour in Sandwich. They propose to raise
£llO,OOO in shares and £36,000 loan. Witnesses were
examined as to the local traffic in favour of the line,
and Mr. Wilson byMr. Denison as to its engineering
features. The committee on the bills of the Great
Eastern partly settled the clauses, and adjourned
the further consideration of them until Monday. The
bill for the Ely, Haddenham, and Sutton Rail-
way was withdrawn. A committee consisting of
Mr. Dodson, chairman of Ways and Means, Mr. C.
W. Packe, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. T. Miller, and M.
Vivian, and Mr. Buchanan considered and passed the
following bills :—lpswich and Felixstow, for a rail-
way of 11 miles from the Great Eastern Wester-
field Station to Felixstow ; Preston and Wyre, to
widen and lay down additional rails on the Black-
pool branch ; Buckfastleigh and Totness, for a line
from Buckfastleigh to Ashburton, to raise £48,000
by shares and £16,000 by loan; Whitehaven, Cleator,
and Egremont, for tramways to the mineral dis-
tricts of Egremont, and to raise £20,000 ; Mistley,
Thorpe, and Walton, to enable the Great Eastern
to subscribe £20,000 to the undertaking ; Hexham
and Allendale, for a line of 12 miles between these
points and of seven miles at Allenheads, to raise
£120,000, and borrow £40,000.

The referees were engaged in hearing witnesses
and counsel on the engineering and other features of
the following bills, with a view of reporting them to
the Select Commitees :—King's Lynn Docks and.
Railway, Lynn and Sutton-bridge Railway ; Fur-
ness, Whitehaven, and Furness ; Surrey and Sussex
Junction, Fareham and Netley Railway, and Al-
cester and Stratford-on-Avon Railway. The bill for
the Sussex Central Railway was withdrawn.

i C° alteration has been perceptible in the condi-
t:4 of monetary affairs to-day. The demand for
seounts has again been very active, and the
b'r
6kerSt whose supplies have since yesterday received
slight addition, have charged 41 and 41 per cent.
for the best short-dated bills.
The Council of the Bank of France have reduced
ril'e'r rate of discount to 3* per cent. This move-
eent is regarded as favourable, because it must
elltually tend to lower the quotations for money
ere by increasing the capital of the open market.
tioThe weekly return from the Bank of England is
of at all of an encouraging character, the reserve
bullion having been diminished, while the other
areurities have received a large addition. Annexed
are the particulars

MEXICO.
NEW YORK, FEB. 25.

Advices received here from Mexico announce that
Juarez has issued an address to the Mexicans from
Chihuahua, Jan. Ist, in which he says :—" Faith-
ful to my duty and my conscience, I will devote all
my energy to the national defence with the support
and co-operation of the Mexicans, and will main-
tain the Mexican flag."

Juarez further denounces th© Emperor Maxi-
milian as a usurper, and an instrument to enlave a

see people.

Houston papers publish a correspondence between
the Confederate Colonel Pyron and General Lopez,
commanding the Imperial troops on the Rio Grande.
Pyron informs Lopez that the Confederate Govern-
ment desires to cherish amicable relations -with the
Mexican Government. Lopez replies, confessing
sympathy for the- Southern cause. " Being placed
in command by the Emperor Maximilian, the sons
of the Confederacy," he says, " may rely upon full
security for their persons and interests, and upon
hospitality. The organisation of raids against the
Confederates will not be permitted. The Houston
papers further state that Matamoras had ceased to
be a free port.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

THE ENCLOSURE IN LEICESTER-SQUARE.

Mr. DAWSON asked whether, in the present state of
the enclosure in Leicester-square, it was in the power of
the Government either to remove or repair the mutilated
statue, and otherwise improve the dilapidated condition of
the space in the centre of the square ?

Mr. COWPER said if the matter rested with the Govern-
ment the statue would not be allowed to remain in its
present disgraceful condition, but the square was the pro-
perty df private individuals who did not do what he
considered was their duty in respect to this subject. There
was an act passed last session called the Garden Enclosure
Act, which would come into operation this session,
and would provide a remedy for the present
state of Leicester-square. The Metropolitan Board of
Works had given the owners of the property in question
the necessary notices, and at its expiration would take the
proper steps in reference to this subject.

TIIE BUDGET.

In reply to Mr. WHITE,

Tha CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he
was not in a position to stilt; when he proposed to bring
forward his financial statement, or whether it would bo
made before or after Easter. He would endeavour to give
his hon. friend some more precise information if he re-
peated his question.
RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL.

Mr J. WHITE asked whether, with a view to re-estab-
lish friendly relations with Brazil, it was the intention of
Government to bring in a bill this session for the repeal of
the " Aberdeen Act "?
Lord PALMERSTON said it was not the intention of
Government to bring in any such bill as that alluded to,
because if that act were- repealed it would lead to the slave
trade being resumed between Africa and Brazil to an un-
limited extent. It would be impossible to prevent that, as
was shown in regard to Cuba. However, negotiations had
been entered into with the Portuguese Government in
order to establish friendly relations between Brazil and
Great Britain. (Hear, hear.)

ployed in the Customs.
Mr. EWART presented a petition from Liverpool against

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Lord H. LENNOX gave notice that he would move a
resolution to the effect that it would be desirable to place
the management of the British Museum under the con-
trol of a minister of the Crown. (Hear, hear.)

.VESSELS ON THE HALIFAX AND BOSTON LINE.
Mr. BAXTER asked if the British and North American
Royal Mail Steam Ship Company were employing vessels
17 years old on the Halifax and Boston line ; and if, at the
expiry of the contract with that company, the Government
intended making new arrangements.

Mr. F. PEEL said that as far as ho could understand
there were two vessels 17 years old on the line between
Liverpool, Boston, and Halifax, but he did not hear of any
complaint as to delay. The contract would not expire until
1867, and the committee which sat in 1860 did not think
it necessary to recommend any subsidy for the postal ser-
vice.

CONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCk,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In the discount market to-day the demand is
rather more active, and the rates show continued
firmness, 5i per cent. being the lowest quotation at
which the best three months' bills can be negotiated.
About £20,000 in sovereigns was sent into the
Bank of England yesterday, £300,000 was with-
drawn for Brazil, and £48,000 in bar gold for the
continent.

The National Provincial Bank of England have
Made arrangements for the opening of branches at
Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead on Monday
next.

A prospectus has appeared for the conversion of
the old-established bank of Messrs. Charles Laffitte
and Co., of Paris, into a joint-stock association,
entitled " Charles Laffitte and Company." It is
Proposed to extend the business to this country and
elsewhere, and upon an enlarged scale to carry on
operations connected with banking and mercantile
affairs. Mr. Charles Laffitte is to be the chairman
of the company, and the capital required is
£3,000,000, the first issue to consist of half the
amount in shares of £2O each. The undertaking
has been favourably received, and the shares are
already quoted 2 premium.
The movements of the precious metals during the
Past week have been on a less extensive scale as
regards the imports, which have only amounted to
£162,410. The exports, however, owing to remit-
tances to the Brazils and the Continent, have been
to the extent of £536,790.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of exvense for former
Inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEALS for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss Of life at sea, an& o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.

A.RYLEBONE.

STREET OUTRAGE.—A powerful-looking young man was
charged with the folloNting drunken and disorderly con-
duct. His name was John Adams, a butcher.
Charles Phillips, 137 D, was on duty in the Elgware-
road last night when he saw the prisoner in company of
three or four other men, all drunk. They were very riotous,
and pushing everyone they came near into the road. They
also behaved very rudely to several females. Witness re-
monstrated with them, when one of the men struck him a
violent blow in the mouth, causing it to bleed. The pri-
soner then caught him by his staff-case, and after swinging
him round threw him down, and he (witness) was then
struck several times. The prisoner's companions ran off,
but he was secured and locked up.
Mr. Mansfield ordered prisoner to pay 205., or be impri-
soned for 14 days.
ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER IN PADDINGTON.—Robert
Mothersole, a middle-aged man, residing at 17, Salem-gar-
dens, Moscow-road, Paddington, boot and shoemaker, was
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Mary Anne
Mothersole, his wife, with intent to do her grievous and
bodily harm.

John Jeffreys, 171 X, deposed to being called to the pri-
soner's house, where his wife was bleeding from a cut in
her throat. She said her husband had done it with a table
knife (produced). He was locked up, and she was taken
to St. Mary's Hospital, and was now in too bad a state to
attend.
The prisoner was remanded.
