It may be of interest to add, that, supposing the Reform
Bill to pass in its present state, there will be 74 boroughs,
including four of Schedule A, above the 5,000 population
test, and 22 above the 10,000 population test, yet unrepre-
sented. They may be classified thus :-30 towns, with a
population of between five and six thousand; 18 between
six and seven thousand • 15 between seven and eight
thousand; 6 between eight and nine thousand; 5 between
nine and ten thousand; and 22 between ten and twenty
thousand. Thus, while 5 under ten thousand have two
Members, these 22 have none !

ABANDO.i.VMENT OF.THE REFORM* BILL.

At a late hour last night we received an assur-
ance, from a source which has never misled us, that
at the Cabinet Council held yesterday it was
decided that the Reform Bill should be abandoned.
It is true that the word " abandoned" was not the
one which was used. The phraseology employed
was, that the measure be "postponed" for twelve
months ; but that, in the circumstances of the case,
is synonymous with the abandonment of the bill.
Lord Palmerston, we are told, even went so far as
to say, that, let the Council decide as they might,
nothing should prevent him from voting in favour
of the amendment of Sir E. Dering. It is not
improbable that Loa' John Russell will this day
announce to the house the abandonment, or rather
as he will call it, the postponement of the measure
till next session.—Morninv Advertiser.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette of the 24th inst. publishes
a decree from the Minister of Finance which is con-
sidered highly important for the financial affairs of
Austria, since, in virtue of a convention concluded
by order of the Emperor with the National Bank,
it enacts that the issue of paper-money with forced
curreacy shall no longer take place. This principle
had been departed from in 1848-9 to the great in-
convenience of the Bank. But its diminished paper
circulation, its general improvement, and the limi-
tation of the government paper• money have now
rendered it possible to return to the original prin-
ciple, that there shall be no other paper-money
throughout the empire than bank-notes. Ten mil-
lions of florins, to be taken from the produce of
the customs, are to be annually applied to the with-
drawal from circulation of the paper-money of the
State. The effect of this measure at the Vienna
Bourse was most favourable ; and what contributed
further to inspire confidence was the certainty that
Austria would side with the Western Powers in
the Eastern question.

POLICE INT ELLIG ENCE.

WESTMINSTER. —Adolphus 17arrison, alias Adolph
Peichtel, residing at 116, Tachbrook-street, Pimlico, was
brought up for re-elatriination, charged with the abduc-
tion of Alice Leroy, a young Belgian girl, from her na-
tive country, for the purposes of prostitution.
The approaches t( ) the court were crowded with well-
dressed persons of I ioth sexes. There were several gen-

EMIGRATION SHIPS,

Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved fur a select committee
to inquire into the recent cases of extensive loss of life
aboard emigrant ships, whether by sickness, wreck, or
other causei, and generally int ► the sufficiency or other-
wise of the ex►sting replations fur the health
and protection of emigrants from the United Kingdom.
The bon. gentleman gave a vivid description of the
horrors which were gone through on board emigrant
ships, and insiAed that something ought to be done in
the shape of regulations for e•nigration vessels to miti-
gate it not to remove the cause of them.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—March 1.

OLD COURT.
(Continued from our first edition of yesterday.)
THE ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN THE CITY.

William Anderson, 30, a person of gentlemanly ap
pearance, described as a merchant, was indicted for
feloniously forging and uttering an acceptance for a bill
of exchange for 2,480/., with intent to defraud.
Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. Ballings conducted the
prosecution; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Prendergast,
Q.C., and Mr. Parry, Q.C., were counsel for the
prisoner. _

After the examination of a number of witnesses for
the prosecution,
Mr. Chambers proceeded to address the jury on be-
half of the prisoner, and after observing upon the im-
probability of a person standing in the high position he
was proved to have done sacrificing all his prospects and
committing an offence of so serious a character, he pro-
ceeded to urge upon the jury that, taking into conside-
ration the nature of the transactions between the priso-
ner and Messrs. Van Notten, he might fairly come to
the conclusion that he considered himself justified in
putting their acceptance to the instrument in question.
If he had done so, he said, under a mistaken notion as
to his rights, still, if he had really acted so bona fore he
would not be amenable to the present charge, and he
urged the fact of the prisoner having applied to persons
by whom he was well known, to get the bill in question
discounted, and the certainty consequently of his being
detected, was a strong proof that he really believed he
had the authority to accept the bills on behalf of Messrs.
Van Notten, and upon this ground he asked them to
acquit the prisoner.
The Chief Baron having summed up,
The jury, without deliberating more than five minutes,
returned a verdict of guilty.
An application was made for 6001. taken from the
prisoner to be given up to Messrs. Overend, Gurney,
and Co. This was resisted on the part of the assignees
of the prisoner, who, since these transactions, has been
declared a bankrupt, and the court declined to make
any order.

M ONTB VIDEO.

The following Post office notice has been issued :

Monte Video, or any other part of the republic of the
Uruguay, will be reduced to
is. for a letter not exceeding 1-oz. in weight.
2s. „ exceeding i-oz. and not exceeding 1-oz.
4s. „ exceeding 1-oz.and not exceeding 2-oz.
and so on, according to the scale in operation for charging
inland letters.

"Newspapers conveyed by packet between the United
Kingdom and the republic of the Uruguay will be

" These rates of postage must be paid in advance upon
all letters and newspapers posted in this country, ad-
dressed to the republic of the Uruguay.
" Printed books, magazines, reviews, and pamphlets
(whether British, colonial, or foreign) may be trans-
mitted by packet between the United Kingdom and the
republic of the Uruguay, at the following reduced rates

side the packet, or its cover, the proper number of
stamps. _ _ _

"if any of the above conditions be violated, the
packet must be charged as a letter, and treated as such
in all respects.
"To prevent any obstacle to the regular transmis-
sion of letters, any officer of the Post Office may delay
the transmission of any such packet for a period not ex-
ceeding 24 hours from the time at which the same
would otherwise have been forwarded by him."

CBIMTNAL COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Continued from our First Edition.)
CONCLUSION OF THE PERJLTRY CASE.

Sir F. Thesiger then t sok several objections, which
havisig been overruled, he proceeded to address the jury,
and after cornmeliting upon the harshness of these pro-
ceedings, contended that there was no evidence of wilful
and corrupt perjury, but the result of an error; that
he evidently had souse authority, if we were to take the
evidence of Mr. Curtis, and that he did not know that
the money came from Mackinnon, and that he could not
have had any corrupt motive, as the seat had been given
up by Mr. Elwin James.
The Recorder having summed up, and pointed out to
the jury that the real question they had to try was not
whether the prisoner had merely fenced with the ques-
tions put to him, but whether he had wilfully sworn to
that which he knew to be false, with an intent to deceive
the committee.

The Jury having deliberated about five minutes,
returned a verdict of guilty,
Sir F. Thesiger then moved an arrest of judgment,
and requested defendant might be admitted to bail.
The Recorder said there was no point reserved, and
he could not depart from the usual course, and the de-
fendant was ordered into custody.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Surveyor of the Navy, Capt. Sir Baldwin Walker,
K.C.8., returned to the Admiralty from Paris yesterday
morning. His reception by the French, we hear, was
gratifying in the extreme.
Twenty thousand tons of coal are ordered by the Ad-
miralty to be got ready for the supply of the Baltic fleet.
In the list of appointments last night we find that of
Lieut. S. G. Cresswell, to the Archer, 14, screw, Wool-
wich. We therefore presume that Mr. Cresswell has
declined the appointment of lieutenant commander under
Captain Inglefield, and the whole naval service will ap-
plaud Lieut. Cresswell for his ipirit. As an officer and
a gentleman it would be most distasteful for Lieut.
Cresswell to serve as a lieutenant under the officer who
was promoted for bringing home those despatches of
which he (Lieut. Cresswell) was the bearer ; he (Lieut.
C.) having been the officer who actually made the north-
west passage under Captain M'Clure. The whole affair
is most discreditable to the Admiralty ; and although a
lieutenant, Air. Cresswell stands higher in the estimation
of the service and the public than either the Board of
Admiralty who have neglected him, or the officer who
has come between him and his just reward for unprece-
dented services.—Morning Herald.

SPAIN.

The Gazette of the 24th ult. contains a despatch
from the Captain-General of Aragon, in which he
says :

Since my last despatch of this morning, at one
o'clock, nothing new has occurred at Sarragossa,
which enjoys the most perfect tranquillity ; never-
theless, in order to be prepared for any extremity,
I have ordered that the troops shall remain in their
quarters with their officers. News of the insur-
gents have been received from the alcade of Juslibal,
a small place at about five miles' distance from
Sarragossa, and from the alcade of Castejan de
Valdejara, at about eight miles' distance. The
first informs me that yesterday, between midnight
and one o'clock, the insurgents had passed by Jus-
libal ' • and the second announces that they had ar-
rived at Castejan de Valdejara in the morning of
this day, and that they had taken the direction of
Erla or Luna. The colonel in command, Don
Juan Bautista Posas, confirms this news by a verbal
communication, in which he announces that he was
taking the direction of Castejan de Valdejara, and
was only at sixteen miles' distance from Souleves ;
consequently he must have overtaken them by this
time. Their number appears to be reduced ; they
are accompanied by some armed citizens, who had
stopped in their route an officer and a soldier of the
civil guard, whom they carried off with them.
The Espana states that complete tranquillity
prevailed at Barcelona and in the other towns of
the principalities.
Madrid was calm, but the Government had or-
dered the Athenaeum to be closed, as angry poli-
tical discussions took place in it.
The Espana denies that General O'Donnel had,
as stated by some of the journals, arrived at
Bayonne.
A Madrid letter of the 24th says—" Several
journalists have been arrested, and placed in soli-
tary confinement by order of the civil governor.
At midnight, four of the editors of the Diario
Espanol, Las Novedades, and Tribnno, left under
charge of a police agent in a post carriage for Cadiz.
It is said that they will be exiled to the Philippines.
Colonel Gayetano Cardero, who is well known for
the part which he took in the scenes at the Post-
office in 1836, has also been arrested.
The Government is in hourly expectation of re-
ceiving news that the troops sent in pursuit of the
fugitives from Saragossa have come up with them.
The accounts from Catalonia are satisfactory. The
rumour circulated yesterday by the enemies of the
government that a movement had taken place in
Barcelona is unfounded.

Yesterday, one of the horses in the carriage of
the King having fallen near the Puerta del Sol,
the King alighted, and proceeded to the Palace on
foot. As he passed he was loudly Cheered.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, Feb. 28.—1 t appears that a mone-
tary pressure in the United States is causing the
prices of cotton to give way. We find also, and no
doubt partly owing to the same circumstance, that the
receipts in the ports exceed those in the correspond-
ing week of last year. This is something new and per-
haps significant. The state of the money market had
occasioned a fall in the rate of exchange to set against
the decline in cotton ; and there is a further disadvantage
to this country in the high charge for freights. These
accounts have rather unfavourably influenced our market
to-day, as well as that of Liverpool. In a similar way we
have been acted upon, too, by a telegraphic statement
that the advices from Calcutta and Bombay show a dete-
rioration in the business of those markets. The failures
that have occurred in this district have also tended to
restrict operations by exciting distrust, and rendering
every one increasingly cautious. Hence, the market is
felt to be somewhat weaker, and prices slightly less steady
than they were before, in such descriptions of yarns
and goods as are not too much under contract to be thus
affected. As a rule, articles for the home trade, parti-
cularly goods, suffer the most. However, under all
circumstances, we must regard the weakness of which
we have spoken as remarkably inconsiderable ; and
more business continues to be done than might be sup-
posed with all the complaining there is. A good deal
of surprise has been excited by the failure of Mr. A.
Vickers, a spinner and manufacturer in the neighbour-
hood of Disley. His liabilities are about 40,0001. A meet-
ing of creditors has been held, and postponed to an early
day. Rumours of other stoppages have, as is usual when
anything of this kind occurs, been current on 'Change,
HALIFAX, Feb. 25.—There is no noticeable change
this week in any department of the worsted trade.
Everything is dull, and all parties seem disposed to limit
their operations as much as possible.
ROCHDALE, Feb. 27.—The flannel market is more in-
active, and the demand for goods more limited than it
has been ; but the prices obtained are much the same as
those of the previous week. Wool keeps very firm,
especially the low and middle qualities, which are be-
coming scarce.

_
HUDDERSFIELD, Feb. 28.—The market has been quiet
in nearly all its departments, though not more so than
might reasonably be expected in the present unsettled
state of political affairs, acting, as it necessarily must, to
the derangement, more or loss, of commercial transac-
tions. Prices are still maintained, without indication of
a downward tendency, a result no doubt mainly attri-
butable to the steadiness of prices of the raw material
exhibited during the wool sales just concluded.

IN R KEILY.-CASE OF AN EMIGRATION AGENT.

This was the first meeting under the bankruptcy of
Richard Keily, described as an emigration agent, of
Ladbroke-terrace, Notting-hill. The liabilities of the
bankrupt are large, somewhere about 60,0001., but a
considerable portion of these are secured ; the un-
secured debts are estimated at between 6,0001. and
7,000/. The assets are chiefly of a contingent cha-
racter. The bankrupt has latterly been engaged in
a speculation for sending out passengers to America.
He was also connected with the Asturian Mining
Company, and, some years ago, obtained the concession
from the Spanish Government of a railway in Spain,
the profit of which he estimated at 12,0001. At the
general election in 1847, he was a candidate for New
Ross, in Ireland. Subsequently (he stated) he had been
induced to accept a bill for 1501., without consideration,
for J. Birch, editor of The World, who set up the plea
of services rendered during the election. He had also
been engaged in a railway project in America, called the
Savanna Railway, from which he anticipated a profit of
30,000/. ; and to assist him in carrying this out he had
borrowed money on mortgage of land which he pos-
sessed there. This land comprised 200,000 acres in the
state of Georgia, for which he had contracted to pay 2s.
per acre, expecting to reap a large profit from re-sales ;
but being unable to carry out his contract, owing to the
unsettled state of affairs on the continent, the purchase
had been annulled.

Mr. Fuller, coach-builder, of Mortimer-street, Caven-
dish-square, was chosen trade assignee ; Mr. Pennell is
the official assignee ; Messrs. Lawrance, Plews, and
Boyer, are the solicitors under the bankruptcy; and
Messrs. Hart Brothers are the accountants.

LONDON, THURSD MARCH 2, 1851.

It is scarcely credible that, after all the bold
speaking of Ministers, the New Reform Bill is
really to be abandoned. Yet it is so p mai vely
asserted, as will be seen elsewhere, by one of our
morning coutemPoraries. It would be merely a
contemptible evasion of the truth, of course, to
talk about a postponement. A postponement
of the question, till another year shall have
°kneed, means an. abandonmeut, Would Mi-
nisters, in proceeding_ thus, be acting fairly
either to the country or to the Rouse, or to
themselves? Surely not—after all that was said
by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the Commons upon the
suggestion of a delay thrown out in several quar-
ters, but especially thrust upon his attention by
the out especially
the Member for Liverpool.
The intimation that Lord PA.L3fERSTON would vote
in favour of the amendment of Sir E. DERING,
in the event of the Bill being brought forward this
session, according to promise, under the notice
of the Legislature, would—if verified—justaly
to the full all the suspicions entertained for some
time past in regard to the political prin-
ciples, or rather in regard to the assumed lack of
political
principles, of the Rome Secretary. What-
ever be the resolve of the Government, it should
at least be announced betimes. The Coalition
cannot play fast and loose with the hopes of the
nation with imp
unity. The truth, unless volun-
teered must forthwith be extorted-from the occu-
pants of the Treasury Benches in not uncalled-for
or unseasonable explanations.

Meanwhile, we would even now direct the
earnest attention of the community to the tabular
statement given by us in another part of our in:,
pression of this eveniug—froin which statement
much may be learnt at a glance as to the pro-
bable working of the new measure as explained
by Lord John Russell last month before the
assembled Parliament.

Ministers, in one resneet at least, have earned
far the=saives the c;,rdiel thank:, and ep,proLation
of the cozurtuity,- They hiYO loto..ll4ifted

BANKRUPTCY CO NIMISSION.

Mr. MURROUGH asked Viscount Palmerston
when the report of the B:tnkruptcy Commission, and
the evidence on which it was founded, would be laid on
the table of 'he house.

Lord PALMERSTON said the report had not yet
been received.
THE NEW REFORM BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that to-morrow he
would state the course which the Government intended
to take with regard to the bill for amending the repre-
sentation of the people, the second reading of which
Stow! for Monday, the 13th inst.
Mr. DISRAELI - May I ask if the noble lord intends
to make that statement on the usual motion for the ad-
journment of the house.
Lord J. RUSSELL—No ; I shall make it beforegoing
into the orders of the day.
Mr. DISRAELI—WiII the noble lord make any mo-
tion ?

Lord J. RUSSELL—Yes.
uNsTAM PED PUBLICATIONS.

Mr M. GIBSON, adverting to the announcment
that it was intended to continue the prosecuti.in of Mr.
Shaw, of Dublin, for publishing an unstamped news-
paper, until a verdict was obtained in favour of
the Government, asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it would not be better to do here what was
done in the caQe of Mr. Charles Dickens ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob.
served that the question was rather an argumentative
one, but he did not think it would be advisable to take
the course suggested.
London, England, 1854-03-02

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERD.t )
The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock.
RAILWAY BILLS.

Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the committee of soli action
do nominate, from time to time, not more than none in
five of the members nominated by them as the gi 3neral
committee on railway and canal bills, to act as chair-
men of sub-committees on such bills. To be n iade a
standing order.—Agreed to.
The West London Railway Bill was read a a econd
time, and ordered to be committed.
PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against any shies ration
in the Parliamentary oaths.
A number of petitions were presented prayirig that
public-houses may be closed on the Lord's-day.
GRAVEYARD OF BERKELEY.
Mr. C. BERKELEY wished to ask the "Under
Secretary of State for the Home Department w'bether
an application, signed by the proper authorities, had
reached the Home Office for closing the graveyard'. of the
town of Berkeley, in the county of Gloucester ; :and, if
such application had been received, why the noble lord
had allowed three months to elapse without takiag any
steps with regard to the subject.
Mr. FITZROY said a letter was received o n the
14th of last November, and on the 6th of December an
answer was sent stating that an officer wou.ld be
sent down in due course to inspect the
,grave-
yard. Three officers had been appointed fur the
especial purpose of inspecting the graveyards of the
country, and the inspector of the Gloucestershire dis-
trict would visit the Berkeley churchyard as soon as
possible. Of course, when his report was received at
the Home-office it would be immediately acted upon.
