SERGEANT ADAMS.

Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask the Secretary
of State for the Home Department, a question concern-
ing a recent trial at the Middlesex Sessions, in which it
is stated that Mr. Sergeant Adams, who presided, sen-
tenced Mary Hill to 7 years' transportation for robbery,
and to 3 years' additional transportation for calling a
policeman a pig ; with a view of founding a motion
thereon, if the facts be as stated, and if the pre-
sent state of the law be inadequate for enabling
the Secretary of State to correct this description of
judicial administration. He wished to ask the noble
lord if his attention had been directed to the case ?
Lord PALMERSTON said the woman was found
guilty of an offence committed under circumstances of
an aggravated character, and he was informed that rob-
beries committed in this manner were by no means an
unfrequent occurrence. The practice of such depreda-
tors was this :—A lady of engaging manner—(a
laugh)—inveigles a gentleman into a lonely spot, and
manages to rob him there while engaged in conversation.
Thereupon a male confederate of the lady issues upon
the unsuspecting gentleman, and complains of being in-
terfered with in his connubial rights—(renewed laughter)
—and while the altercation is going on the lady escapes
with her booty, and the gentleman is happy to escape
without personal injury. Now, this woman, after
having been once rescued from the hands of the police,
was again taken up and found guilty of robbing a gen-
tleman under similar circumstances to those he had
stated. The magistrate .sentenced her to seven
years' transportation ; and after the sentence
was passed she became very violent. The judge, there-
fore, increased the sentence by three years, for the pur-
pose of deterring others from falling into such violent
demonstrations of rage and temper, but he intended VS
restore the original sentence before the sessions closed,
and the sentence now stood at seven, instead of ten
years. (Hear.)
CANTERBURY ELECTION.

Mr. KER SEYMOUR appeared at the bar of the
house, and stated that the Lords required a conference
with this house on the subject of the Canterbury
election.

Managers having been accordingly appointed, the
business of the house was suspended for a brief space,
and the conference was held. On the return of the ma
nagers,

Mr. KER SEYMOUR stated that the resolution of
the house for an address to the Crown had been left with
their lordships.

COLONIAL POSTAGE.
Lord STANLEY wished to ask the Under Secretary
of State for the Colonies, at what time the reducLlon in
rates of colonial postage, announced by the Postmaster-
General, may be expected to come into operation ?
Mr. F. PEEL said he was afraid that considerable
time must elapse before the plan announced by the
Postmaster-General could be brought into operation. He
understood that plan to be this, that a uniform postage
of 6d. the half-ounce should be imposed on all colonial
letters, but before that could be accomplished the sanc-
tion of the colonial legislature to the scheme must be
first obtained..

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the .Registrar-General's Report.)
It is a subject of much regret that the public health,
as measured by the rate of mortality, is still in a very
unfavourable state. Since the third week of February,
when it feel to 29.8 deg., the mean weekly temperature
has continued to rise, having been successively 38.8 deg.,
35.3 deg., and last week 44.6 deg. In the same periods
the weekly mortality of London shows a constant in-
crease, the deaths having been 1,344, 1,427, and in the
week that ended last Saturday' 1,436. The deaths in
the present return occurred at the following ages-600
under 14 years, 467 at 15 years and under 60, 369 at 60
and upwards.
In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the
years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1,078,
which, if raised in proportion ‘to increase of population,
becomes 1,186. Therefore the excess of last week's mor-
tality above the estimated amount is 250.
Last week the births of 892 boys and 924 girls, in all
1,816 children were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average
number was 1,473. •
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29,926 inches.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday it was above 30
inches. The mean daily temperature was above the
average of the same days in 38 years on every day of the
week ; it was highest on Sunday and Monday, when it
was 8 and 7 deg. above • the average. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 44 deg. 6 min., or 4 deg 4 min.
above the average. The wind blew from the south-west
generally, but was calm during the greater part of the
week. The mean dew-point temperature was 38 deg.
7 min.

"fIIIE WINNER FOR THE COMING DERBY.
Shortly will be published (price is., or by post ls. 2d.), "THE
HORSE for the COMING DERBY," by the WIZARD OF THE
NORTH ,Last year, as early as February, the Wizard, besides
naming the first three, and seltcting the exact number of starters,
also gave a horse to hedge with, which advanced from 40 tO 1 to
4 to 1, and which all the sporting writers of the day (but one) tOOk
for their winner the week before the race. In Turf matters, how-
ever, success is only to be attained by "biding your time," and in
the present instance nothing will be lost by the exercise of a little
patience. though to insure early copies, orders should be given at
once. Instances without end coulel be adduced in proof of this.
Thus, how many men who have lost fortunes upon the turf in their_
early career, have won them back again, with more than compound
interest, by simply observing this rule ? Wait then for a brief space,
and you shall have a book worth more than a shilling, besides a
downright good thing'for the Derby, that is certain to get a place,
if it domes not win.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchater Quardiam of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, March 15.--The receipts of the week,
ending March 2d, at all the American ports were 131,000
bales, against 126,000 (the largest of last season) in the
corresponding week of last year ; and the total receipts,
2,326,000 against 1,791,000. The next week, it is said,
will exhibit a falling off of 12,000 to 15,000 bales. The
week's shipments to Great Britain were only 30,000
against 57,000. Prices were steadier. It is evident that they
were depending very much upon accounts from Liverpool.
On Saturday, our market was exceedingly depressed in
its whole tone ; and it seemed highly probable that the
prices of yarns and goods would undergo a still fur-
ther decline. The transatlantic accounts have, how-
ever, produced an impression that a further fall is per-
haps for the present interrupted. We have conse-
quently had a more cheerful feeling, with more offers
from buyers, at last week's lowest prices, which, how-
ever, the producers of yarns and goods have not, in
general, been inclined to accept. This much is certain,
buyers might have supplied themselves on somewhat
easier terms at the latter end of last week, especially in
yarns, than they have been enabled to do to-day ; but
sellers cannot obtain a positive advance upon their pre-
vious quotations. No. 40's mule twist and 20's water
show the most improvement. Offers have been made
for fair quantities of India and China shirtings, but at
prices which have not been accepted. In domestics
there is rather more doing.

- - -
ROCHDALE, March 14.—To-day we have had little
change in the market from that of the preceding Mon-
day, either in price or demand. The demand for wool
is very steady, and prices continue to advance slowly.
HALIFAX, March 12.—There is no noticeable change
to-day in the state of trade. Our piece hall has been
very thinly attended, and but few goods of any sort
have changed hands. Yarn is again higher, but the ad-
vance is not equal to that on the raw material. Al-
though the spinners purchase sparingly, and only to
meet immediate needs, wool continues to rise, partly
owing to increasing scarcity and partly to speculative
sales. _ _

HUDDERSFIELD, March 15.—Our market continues
brisk, but as manufacturers have nothing to sell, busi-
ness is done very quietly, goods being delivered direct
to order. The cloth hall is nearly deserted of goods,
and most of the private " shops" in the neighbourhood
are quite empty. Manufacturers are fully employed,
and if more hands could be got, could find customers for
the extra quantity of goods. The tendency in price is
upwards in most seasonable fabrics, as fancies of new
patterns and light goods generally,

thrilling emphasis, and when he again turned to the mass
of the people in front occupying the vast square below,
they shouted with delight, and every man of the 50,000 in
the streets declared that 'Pierce is the man for the times.'"
On the conclusion of the ceremonies the President
was escorted to the White House, where he held a
kind of levee. The proceedings of the day closed
with a private dinner at the White House. Ex-
President Fillmore quietly returned to the apart-
ments in the hotel where President Pierce had
resided.

York stock market, with no indicatiOns of a
favourable change. Money in improved demand ;

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the Registrar-General's Report.)
It is a subject of much regret that the public health,
as measured by the rate of mortality, is still in a very
unfavourable state. Since the third week of February,
when it feel to 29.8 deg., the mean weekly temperature
has continued to rise, having been successively 38.8 deg.,
35.3 deg., and last week 44.6 deg. In the same peziods
the weekly mortality of London shows a constant in-
crease, the deaths having been 1,344, 1,427, and in the
week that ended last Saturday 1,436. The deaths in
the present return occurred at the following ages-600
under 14 years, 467 at 15 years and under 60, 369 at 60
and upwards.
In the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the
years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1,078,
which, if raised in proportion to increase of population,
becomes 1,186. Therefore the excess of last week's mor-
tality above the estimated amount is 250.
Last week the births of 892 boys and 924 girls, in all
1,816 children were registered in London. In the eight
corresponding weeks of the years 1845.52 the average
number was 1,473.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29,926 inches.
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday it was above 30
inches. The mean daily temperature was above the
average of the same days in 38 years on every day of the
week ; it was highest on Sunday and Monday, when it
was 8 and 7 deg. above the average. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 44 deg. 6 min., or 4 deg 4 min.
above the average. The wind blew from the south-west
generally, but was calm during the greater part of the
week. The mean dew-point temperature was 28 deg.

NEW WINDSOR.

This committee resumed :this morning at half-past
eleven, when Mr. Sergeant Mangham was heard on be-
half of Lord Charles Wellesley, the sitting member. The
learned sergeant argued at considerable length that the
publicans, who had kept open houses during the election,
had done so on speculation, and at their own responsi-
bility, and without the order of Lord Charles Wellesley
or any of his agents.
The learned; sergeant had not concluded his address
when our report left.

'THE WINNER FOR THE COMING DERBY.
A Shortly v, ill be published (price Is., or by post Is. 2d.), " THE
HORSE for the COMING DERBY," by the WIZARD OF THE
NORTH Last year, as early as February, the Wizard, besides
naming the first three, and selecting the exact number of starters,
also gave a horse to hedge with, which advanced from 40 to 1 to
4 to 1, and which all the sporting writers of the day (but one) took
for their winner the week before the race. In Tart matters, how.
ever, ,uccess is only to be attained by " biding your time," and in
the present instance nothing will be lost by the exercise of a little
patience though to insure early copies, orders should be given at
once. Instances without end could be adduced in proof of this.
Thus, how many men who have lost fortunes upon the turf in their
early career, have won them back again, with snore than compound
interest, by simply observing this rule ? Wait then fora brief space,
and you shall hare a book worth more than a shilling, besides a
downright good thing for the Derby, that is certain to get a place,
if it d ,es nor win.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting
of the 14th, voted unanimously, and without dis-
cussion, a credit of five millions of francs applicable
to the expenses of the War Department. The end
of the sitting was occupied by the second discussion
of. the credit to be appropriated to the depots of
line at a reduced price for the benefit of agricul-
ture. The amount proposed by the Government
(75,000 f.) was adopted. In the sitting of the 15th
the bill for the dotation to the Prince Royal, who
is about to obtain his majority, was adopted with-
out discussion by a majority of 83 to 1. The bill
grants an annual allowance of 2,000 f.; the enjoy-
ment of the ducal palace at Brussels, and of the
palace of Tervueren, with an allowance of 50,000 f.
for keeping them in repair, and 100,000 f. for the
expense of installation and the heavy repairs of the
palace. The bill for taking off certain prohibitive
duties was afterwards brought forward and read a
second time, and adopted by a majority of 78 to 2.

ting fire to and pillaging Montar and Serajevo.
A Trieste journal says :—" We learn from Monte-
negro that Reis Pacha has withdrawn with his
troops to Nicsitch, and Dervis Pacha to Kovienic.
The latter took with him the Grashovian prisoners
and the Voirode. One of the prisoners, named
Sarearitch, who could not continue his route on
ae count of fatigue and suffering, was shot by the
Turks. The Montenegrins, on hearing of his
ueath, determined to avenge it, and, attacking the
Turks, completely defeated Dervis Pacha, and
took booty to the amount of 6,000 florins."
The Turks have evacuated Montenegro. Omer
?acha had retired into Albania, Reis Pacha to
Nicsitch, and Dervis Pacha to Kowienne.
