CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

At the opening of the court this morning the Right
Hon. the Lord Mayor' Mr. Justice Coltman, and Air.
Alderman Gibbs, took their seats on the bench.
The court was engaged the whole morning in trying
a man of the name of Mivan, a sailor, for committing an
offence of a disgusting nature on a lad, the particulars
of which are wholly unfit tor publication.
The evidence failed to make out the capital offence,
and the prisoner was Acquitted on this indictment, but
he was detained to take his trial on a charge of assault
with intent, &c.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Com3.toN SERGEANT.)
George Eckel-ley, aged 22, a marine, was convicted or
stealing a pair of boots, the prop,rty of George Beiorcrt
of Woolwich, and svutenced to six months' imprison.
ment.

MIDDLES SLSSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE.)
Margaret Hoare was found guilty of stealing four
valuable shawls from the shop of Mr. James Butler,
linendraper. _

It appeared that the prisoner, in committing the thef'•
WftS accompanied by two other women (not in custody),
who endp.avoured to screen her and keep the attentiot.
of the prosecutor engaged, whilst she removed the
shawls from Ihe counter.

A policeman sta,ed that she was twice trivd lately at
the Old Bailey, for shoplifting under similar circum-
stance, but was acquitted.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE would, in every case where
two or more %omen were found together going to shops
to assist each other in thieving, give the punishment, es
in this case, of six months' imprisonment and bard
labour.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE

METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 7th, the Parliamentary
Oaths Bill was brought forward for a second reading.
The most remarkable occurrence connected with the
debate, was the appearance in it of two Members
new to the present Parliament. The first was the
Member for Leominster, son of Sir Robert Peel, who
with a full share of hereditary talent, advanced a
strong array of the arguments, historical and others,
in favour of the liberal view of the question. The
other was the new Meml4er for Sheffield, who dropped
into his place as if no malignant Jupiter had ever
kept him from his seat. lie rose after the debate
by customary rules should have been closed; and
was listened to with an attention which scarcely an,):
other Member in such circumstances would have
commanded. Either the informant's
heavy, or be did not speak quite bud enough for the
general comfort of his hearers. Nothing is so en•
couraging to a speaker, as the covetous silence which
increases in intensity as his voice falls. But the
end of all, is to be heard. It was the fortune
of the writer of this, tun years ago to de-
scribe the Member, then for Bath, as coming
with an accession of power after an interval of i-e-
-tirement. And the same judgment might be
ventured again. The manner is improved in smooth-
ness and conciliatory effect; and the matter presents
less of the partisan, and more of the statesman. In
his speech at Sheffield, the Hon. Member seems to
have felt as well as indicated, that processes of this
nature were going on.
The second reading was finally carried by 278
against 185 ; being 20 mere majority than last ses-
sion, and in a smaller House.
On Tuesday there were speeches of considerable
length on a motion to bring in a Bill for the formation
of joint-stock banks, with a limited liability of :he
shareholders ; but it was finally withdrawn,
,and IA
eight o'clock the House was counted out.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
The total arrival of English Wheat for our market
this week has been only 330 quarters. Notwithstand-
ing that the show of samples of both Red and White on
offer in to-day's market was very trifling, the demand
for all descriptions, owing to the continued heavy im-
ports from abroad, ruled extremely inactive, at barely
Monday's reduction in the quotations. Upwards of
15,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand,
and the supply of that grain on offer was extensive.
The millers purchased cautiously, and late rates were
with difficulty supported. In floating cargoes no trans-
actions took place. No English Barley at market, but
the supply of foreign was good. All kinds moved off
slowly, at barely late rates. In Malt so little business
was transacted that prices were almost nominal. The
Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and the cur-
rencies bad a downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and
Indian Corn were held at full quotations. Flour was
lower to purchase.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Befure Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
CANNAN V. CoOPER.
The plaintiff is a fish salesman in Billingsgate Market,
and defendant is a fishmonger at Ipswich. The action
was brought to recover the sum or 61. 9s. 6d., for fish
supplied. Defendant pleaded that he never was indebted
to plaintiff.

The plaintiff's son was called, and proved that he re-
ceived letters signed in defendant's name, giving orders,
and the fish was packed up for delivery via the Eastern
Counties Railway, but the men who had been employed
to deliver them were not in attendance.
A witness named Clarke, an accountant, was called,
and proved that ho went to Ipswich and saw the defen-
dant, who excused himself for not answering the re•
peated applications for payment by saying he could
neither read nor write. He, however, said the balance
was right, and he only wished for a little time. The
witness then served defendant with a writ, and he (de-
fendant) subsequently sent a post-office order for
21. 93. 6d. The proof that this was sent by the defendant
was the similarity of the handwriting, but there was no
postmark.

The SECONDARY said that there was clearly no proof
of the delivery of the articles, but it was a qui stion for
the jury whether they thought the other portion of the
evidence amounted to proof:
The jury found for the plaintiff for 41.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
mpposiag them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
eltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret im-
cosaprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dacsiy should not be the only marriage set-

THE REVOLUTION IN SAXONY.
The people in Dresden have been completely vic-
torious, and have appointed a Provisional Govern-
ment. The city of Leipsic has also joined the
movement. The civic authorities of the latter city
have placed themselves under the protection of the
Central Government at Frankfort, and have dis-
patched assistance to the Provisional Government at
Dresden.

In the Neustadt (the part of Dresden occupied by
the troops) a royal proclamation appeared on the sth
instant, announcing that the KING, in consequence of
the excesses committed on the 3d and 4th instant,
and the dereliction of duty on the part of the civic
guard, had been obliged to leave the capital for the
fortress of Konig-stein, in the so-called Saxon Swit-
zerland. His MAJESTY adds, that in refusing to
ucknowledgc the Constitution for Germany, he is
acting for the good of fatherland; expresses the hope
that he may be soon able to return to the metro-
polis, and declares that during his absence mea-
sures have been taken for carrying on the busi-
ness of Government. The proclamation is signed
66 FREDERICK AUGUSTUS" and " Dr. FERDINAND
ZSCHINSKY." To this proclamation was ap-
pended another, signed by two Ministers, and
announcing that they had neither abandoned the KING
nor the Government of
i the country ; that they re-
turned to their posts immediately after they found
his MAJESTY safe ; and that they protest against the
appointment of a Provisional Government.
Previou,ly to the commencement of the insurrec-
tion in Dresden, the Ministry issued a species of
manifesto, setting forth that the assent of the
Government of Saxony to the decisions of the
Frankfort National Assembly was necessary
for rendering them binding in that Kingdom ; that
Ministers had endavoured to bring about a con-
cordance between that assembly and the respective
Governments of Germany ; that it could not be ex-
pected that Saxony should renounce its independence
whilst other states of Germany, particularly Prussia,
" without which a German empire cannot be ever
thought of," refuses to acknowledge the Constitution
voted by the National Assembly. So soon as Prus-
sia, however, should recognize that Constitution,
Saxony would follow the example. This manifesto
is signed " Dr. ZSCHINSRY, VON BEREST. RUBEN'
HORST."

Some Prussian troops arrived at Dresden on the sth

PRUSSIA.

It was reported at Berlin on the sth that the pea-
sants had risen in Lower Silesia, and had destroyed
the railroad, in order to prevent the passage of the
Russian troops to Hungary.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
BY the operation of the same princip'es, the Society Is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
Vire either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
"°"owilla two-thirds of all provious payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a -small saving can secure
bxough this Society.

BELGIUM.

Banssmr.s, JAN.l3.—i'lndependanee of this day I
contains the following facts relative to the Belgian
Treasury :—" On the 24th February, 1848, the day
on which the French Revolution broke out, the Bel-
gian Treasury had bonds in circulation to the amount
of 27,259,0001. On the Ist of May this sum
was reduced to 14,414,0001.; on the Ist Septem-
ber it was only 8,655,0001., and after divers
fluctuations, it fell on the 4th of January to
4,314,000 f. The sum of 23 millions has therefore
been repaid, without return, and without loss to the
holders. The reimbursement was effected by means
of the resources which the forced loans gained the
Treasury, which is` thereby to fulfil all its engage-
ments with scrupulous punctuality, and at the same
time to its own advantage, for the loan costs it less
than keeping the Treasury bonds in circulation/
The country has in fact lent to itself, to its own
profit; all have lent to all, and thus the generality
have reaped the advantage. In order to continue the
emission of the Treasury bonds it was necessary to
raise the interest to 8 and 10 per cent. at least ;
while to consolidate it by the ordinary means, it
would have been necessary, as in France, to make a
loan by sacrificing a third, and even more, of the
capital. By the forced loan, divided into small con-
tributions, the Treasury has borrowed at the nominal
interest of 5 per cent., and never perhaps was a better
and more intelligent operation made in finance.
"The affair of Risquons-Tout, which, but for the
energetic measures adopted for its suppression, and
for the apprehension of the ringleaders has been
treated in a rather singular manner in France. It
appears that in a recent sitting of the Assembly the
Minister for Foreign Affairs made some remarks
which induced M. de Lamartine and M. Ledru
Rollin to reply. M. de Lamartine stated that he had
mottling whatever to do with it, and must again
'solemnly disavow all participation in the famous ex-
peditions of Savoy and Risquons-Tout. This espe-
cially concerned M. Ledru Rollin ; but M. Ledru
Rollin exonerated himself with equal energy from all
connexion with the international attempts. To these
disavowals we must boldly reply, if it was not you it
was your commissioners.

were, in Jane-street, but:that she might have done so I
without his knowledge.
A police sergeant stated that after the robbery, he
proceeded to a house, No. 1, in Jane street, and
was there informed by a man named Brown, that
Pudney and the landlady of the house No. 4, in the
same place, had been drinking there at the time of
the robbery, and that he (Brown) heard the latter
say that "Lizzy," meaning the female prisoner, had
just picked up with a "swell," and had taken him into
her house. The sergeant added, that he searched both
houses, Nos. 1 and 4, but could not discover any of
the property.
Mr. Games said, that on the part of Pudney he
disclaimed any concern in the robbery ; that he
happened to be in the neighbourhood at the time, and
interfered solely with the view to prevent any violence
being resorted to when he heard the windows smash-
ing; that witnesses were in attendance to speak to
the respectability of Pudney's character, and to show
that a man in his condition of life was not likely to
have acted in concert in robbing the complainant.

Mr. COTTINGHIM said that the evidence, as it now
stood, ju*tified him in sending the case before a jury,
but as it was important to the ends of justice that the
man Brown should attend, as well as to give further
time for tracing the stolen property, he should remand
the prisoners, but would accept of the same bail as
he bad done on the former examination for Pudney's
appearance to answer the part he took in the trans-
action.
The prisoners were accordingly remanded until
next Monday.

AUSTRIA.

The Ost-Deutsche Post, one of the most moderate
of the Vienna papers, has been suppressed. The fol-
lowing notice was handed to the editor on the 9th
instant:—

------- •
" The Ost-Deutsche Post of the 7th of this month
gives an article headed, The Occurrence in Kremsier ;'
its contents are no less exciting and revolutionary than
those of the foul-mouthed literature of the month of
October. As such language would be inadmissible
under common circumstances, it appears perfectly in-
compatible with the state of siege.
"By inserting the article alluded to in the Ost.
Deutsche Post edited by you, you have acted contrary to
the conditions on which the re-appearance of that paper
was accord, d on the 7th of December last.
" This periodical is, therefore, at once suppressed by
the express order of the Prime Minister, and will ac-
cordingly cease to appear from to-morrow.
" WELDEN, Governor.

" Vienna, Jan. 9th, 1849."
According to the latest intelligence from Krem-
sier, the Chamber were about pronouncing a vote of
want of confidence in the Ministry. The first article
of the fundamental laws would most likely be
adopted, against which Count Stadion had pro-
tested, as incompatible with the monarchical prin-
ciple. The Tcheques, the Left and Centre Left,
were united against him. The fundamental laws
that the Count had drawn up, had met with so much
opposition that they had been withdrawn.
It is believed the Cabinet will not give way, but
will dissolve the Diet. It will then prepare a consti-
tution, and submit it to the Austrian Diet, to meet at
Vienna on the Ist of May.
According to the last accounts from Hungary,
Comorn still holds out against the Imperialists.
Kossuth, with his partisans, has withdrawn to
Debrezin, whither also the Hungarian army, about
12,000 strong, has proceeded. On the 6th, the first
corps (forme of the Imperial troops set out from
Perth to the same destination.

M. Fawtier, an ultra-Republican, has been elected
by an immense majority as representative of the peo-
ple for the department of the Upper Rhine. He
had been dismissed by M. Leon Faucher from the office
of Prefect.

The Crediesays:—
' "The most alarming reports are being every day ad-
dressed to the Ministers from the departments, describ-
ing the deplorable situation of our commerce, manu-
factures, and agriculture. Business is not improving.
The public works commenced in several directions
are being successively abandoned, and notwithstand-
ing the extraordinary efforts made by our
manufacturers during six months to support their esta-
blishments, they now find 1,1,11 their resources exhaused.
Another serious fact to be remarked is, that the farmers
are selling their produce at a loss of from 30 to 40 per
cent.. when they are so fortuuate as to effect a sale.
What are Ministers doing in the face of such menacing
facts ? They are lost in their dreams of a restoration.
They have withdrawn all Parliamentary Bills presented
by their predecessors, and they have riot replaced them
by even one measure. Is it fair on theik' part to remain
in office after having given such proofs of incompetency?
Can they expect to reconstruct a solid edifice with ma-
terials reduced to dust? We address these q nestions to
the electors who are about to be called on to elt`ct a new
Assembly."

MOLDAVIA.

The Correspondent of Hamburgh, of Jan. 11, says
it is asserted that an order has arrived from St.
Petersburgh at Jassy to hinder the meeting of the
National Assembly of Moldavia. Field Marshal
RADETZXT, it also says, has demanded a reinforce-
ment of 40,000 men. The Croatian troops have been
sent from Trieste to Dwino.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Bersenhalle of the 1 Ith says--" That accord-
ing to the authority of credible travellers who were
at Alsen on the 7th, that island, instead of having
been evacuated by the Danish troops, has received an
additional reinforcement."
The Alton Mercury, in a letter dated Copenhagen
of the Bth, says—" At the sitting of the National
Assembly this day, Deputy GRUNDTOIG moved ' that
this Assembly, in the name of the Danish nation, ex-
presses the desire that the Government, without
losing time in fruitless negotiations for peace, exerts
the entire power of the kingdom for suppressing as
speedily as possible the revolt in Schleswig-llolstein,and
procure to Denmark full dominion over the duchy of
Schleswig, as the ancient South Schleswig. This
motion, on the proposition of OTTERSTROM, was nega-
tived without a discussion by 103 votes against 28.
Sir HENRY WyNN, the British Ambassador at our
court, celebrated the 50th year of his official jubilee
to-day. Of the fifty years that he has been a diplo-
matist, nearly twenty-five years have been passed at
our court.

The postal communication is now in a great mea-
sures restored, both with the duchies and abroad, by
way of holding.
The Faderlandet says that German and French
journals, and an English mail, hare come by land
through the duchies.

HA-MBURGII, JAN. 11.—The tremendous snow
storm of last night has left traces also upon the Elbe;
it is scarcely possible to cross it this morning; the
sledge horses sink not to their knees only, but actu-
ally to their breast in the snow. Of course no tract
is visible, and such is the insecurity of the river
that nothing can be brought over from Harburg.
HAIM/XS, JAN. 11.
The ice roads cannot be crossed, the snow lies be-
tween five and six feet deep. The railway train to
Hanover, which left this morning, has been wedged
in by the snow, and workmen are employed in ex-
tracting it, and in clearing the roads in general.
The posts from Hanover and Bremen have
not yet arrived. We have scarcely ever
had such a fall of snow. The wind at the same time
blew so strong from the S.E. that there are accumu-
lations of immense masses of snow in the streets,
some of them are impassable.—Hamburg Bonen-
hall e, Jan. 11.

PRUSSIA.
Intelligence has been received from Berlin to
the 11th.

CAIIPHAUSEN has arrived on a mission from the
Imperial Court at Frankfort.

The Government had by a decree abolished the
forced labour exacted from the villages and towns
lying on the lino of the country roads for clearing
away the snow and keeping the communications
open. The work will in future be done by paid
labourers.

The Minister of the Interior had completed a plan
for the establishment of a bank for advancing money
to pay off mortgages on house property in Berlin, on
the transfer to it of the security.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Jar,

" To ML Thom; Front,

" 14th Jane, 1647.

" Sia,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years front
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving n. Irons 11. nest
medical advice I could obtain, I was inaueed about six weeks ago to
rms. Whew I commenced

very mucir'sWollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound ant refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you aro at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, sir, yours respectfully,

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-

certain relief.

invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JAN. B.—The house of ROTHSCHILD is
said to have made proposals to Government for un-
dertaking a portion of the new loan of eighty millions.
The result of the discussion of the report presented
by the Finance Committee of the Bank of Austria,
(which will probably terminate:to-morrow), at a gene-
ral meeting of the shareholders, is looked forward to
with impatience by our commercial world. It is
supposed that the Bank will be obliged to put in cir-
culation the 49,879 shares, which are still laid by ;
but this alone will scarcely remedy the unpleasant
situation in which the Bank is at this moment. If
the remedy is to be effectual, it is not the reduction
of the number of bank bills' but the augmentation of
the actual funds of the bank that is necessary.
It is said that the young Archduke FERDINAND,
brother of the EMPEROR (born July 6, 1832), is to
be Viceroy of Lombardy, and is to direct the affairs
of the country, without reference to the question of
Sardinian peace.
RADETZKY, who, it is said, is to be created a Duke,
has sent several brigades of cavalry to the aid of the
Imperial troops in Hungary.
The EMPEROR is extremely affable to all persons
who are presented to him. He very recently invited
the merchant deputation of Trieste to dine with him,
which is quite an unheard-of event at the Imperial
Court.
The Archduchess SoPHIA instill with her son, nor
does it seem probable that she will leave him.
As yet we have received no particulars relative to
the occupation of Pesth and Ofen by our troops.
The first deputation from Pesth went to the head-
quarters of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, under an escort
of twenty hussars, who refused to return with the
deputation, and accordingly remained in the camp.
The second deputation was received by the Prince
with much affability. In reply to the proposals made
