BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

Charles Frost was placed at the bar before Mr. HENRY,
charged with stealing a purse containing a five pound
note, and some money, the property of a Mr. Kimbell,
in the cell of the station-house. The prosecutor had
previously been fined ss. for being drunk.
It appeared that the prisoner and the complainant had
severally been taken into custody last night, on the same
charge (that of drunkenness), and were confined in the
same cell. This morning, after Mr. Kimbell had been
taken from the cell, a policeman (F 149) went into the
cell, and saw a purse lying on the ground. There was
some money in one end of it. Thinking that it was the
prisoner's, he said to him " Why don't you keep your
money in your pocket?" The prisoner replied, " Oh,
ah I that's my money;" and taking the purse from the
policeman, put it in his pocket. Afterwards the police-
man hearing Mr. Kimble make a complaint to the in-
spector (Mr. Black) that he had been robbed, mentioned
what had occurred. Frost, being taxed with the theft,
denied the officer's statement, and said that he had seen
nothing of the purse, and had no money about him ex-
cept a little silver, he could not tell how much. He had
no Bank notes. On searching him, however. the officer
found a five pound note in his shoes, the number of
which agreed with that of the note lost by the prosecu-
tor. The prosecutor had made inquiries at the Bank,
and had found that the clerk was prepared to prove the
issue of the note, and to swear that it was to him (pro-
secutor) it had been given out.
The prisoner said that the five pound note was his
own. He totally denied the statement of the officer.
Mr. HENRY said that he thought the case a very clear
one, and he would commit the prisoner for trial, but as
he wished to have the evidence of the Bank clerk he
would remand the prisoner until he could attend.
On the arrival of the clerk, the prisoner was again
brought before the magistrate, and the depositions having
been taken, he was fully committed for trial.
James Abbott was again brought before Mr. Henry,
having been remanded from this day week, upon a charge
of stealing a quantity of miscellaneous property from
Mr. Sparks, the cook at Lincoln's Inn Hall.
The evidence was entered into somewhat more fully
than on the former hearing, a great part of the property
having been found, and the prisoner was again remanded
11 Thursday (to-morrow week).

IN RE JACKSON.

This insolvent, who is a lieutenant in the navy, came
up for his final examination.
Mr. Sturgeon appeared to support the application, and
Mr. Hughes to oppose, on the ground that there had
been an excessive expenditure. It appeared, however,
from the explanation of the bankrupt, that he had taken
a house in order to establish Mrs. Jackson as the
governess of a boarding-school, but they had not been
long in before a dispute arose between the person whom
they took the house from and another party
as to the title, and the latter broke into the
house by force and took possession, conse
quently the scholars had to be sent home.
and the business was broken up. The loss to insolvent
was very severe, as he held a situation on a railway,
which he was fearful of losing, but had not this affair
happened, he stood a great chance of promotion in his
profession as well as on the railroad.

The Learned Commissioner —considered this a com-
plete answer to the opposition, and asked the insolvent
what he could propose to pay ?
The insolvent said his prospects were very bad at pre-
sent—it was impossible to say whether he would be re-
tained on the railroed.

Mr. HUGHES asked for an adjournment for twelve
months, the insolvent then to make a payment according
to his means.
Mr. STURGEON objected. The insolvent had friends
to assist him in his promotion, but an adjournment for
twelve months would carry a bad impression with it.
The CONMISSIONER—IIe will have his protection all
the time, and I state publicly there is no imputation on
his character. There is no appearance of fraud; it is
entirely ill luck, and he has been brought into the diffi-
culty by unforeseen, and as far as he is concerned, un-
avoidable circumstances.
Mr. HUGHES said he himself felt the same as his
Honour, but his client urged him to press for 901. a
year, and then the opposition to the final order would
be withdrawn.

lgr. STURGEON said it was quite preposterous to ask
for the whole of a lieutenant's half-pay.
The COMMISSIONER—How can he live ? I have de-
cided the matter, and if any person is desirous of inter-
fering with the public time wmeceasurily, MU* 011ght

THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.

A paragraph having appeared in The Sun of Tuesdety,
announcing the probable engagement of Mrs. Butler
(Miss Fanny Kemble) at Drury-lane Theatre, we have
been authorised to publish the following corresporulrmee
between that distinguished artist and Mr Bunni--;

"London, 9th Jan., 1847.

" Madam,—ln entertaining the question you were
polite enough to submit to me—that of your return to
the stage—l was actuated by a sincere desire to resusci-
tate, as far as the limited talent of the country would
admit, the precarious position of the drama—an effort
only to be made, with a chance of success, through the
moderate expectations of its professors. The establish-
ment of Drury-lane, being exclusively devoted to opera
and ballet, would require considerable reinforcement to
admit of your performances being sustained in a manner
due to the public, to yourself, and to the character of the
theatre. My present expenses are nearly 2001. per night,
and I could not calculate on a less nightly addition than
501. in the engagement of extraneous talent, and in pre-
paration. If, then, this 2501. per night be added to the
1001. demanded by you, there would be a certain liabi-
lity of 3501. on. each of your performances. I question
if an average receipt could be realised to that amount,
to say nothing of the detriment caused to three nights in
the week by a predominant .attraction on the others. If
it would suit you to lend your powerful co-operation to
the re-establishment of the drama on the highest terms
awarded to your illustrious relative, Mrs. Si ddons—viz.,
50/. per night, I would devote all my means to the fur-
therance of so laudable an undertaking, and immediately

" P.S. If, however, your performances were confined
to readings, and to dramatic scenes, I think the nightly
sum you ask might be realised,"

THE QUEEN'S INTENDED VISIT TO MONA. -
stated some time since the probability of her Majesty
taking up a residence in this island during the summer
months, and that Mona Castle was likely to be the resi-
dence chosen. We have now pleasure in announcing
that our statement is likely to be realised. A gentle-
man who arrived here this week from London, has in-
formed us that her Majesty intends to visit our shores
next summer, and will remain a few weeks amongst us.

ILLNESS OF LORD JOIIN RUSSELL.—We regret to
announce that the Noble Premier as well as Lady
John Russell, is suffering from an attack of the prevail-
ing malady. The Noble Lord was confined to his bed
yesterday.
The Lord Chancellor continues to improve; but
some time must necessarily elapse ere he takes his seat.
His Lordship at present merely signs official documents.
Lady Peel has been labouring under a severe attack
of influenza, but we are happy to learn is now recovering
from the effects of that prevailing epidemic.
REPORTED Loss.—A Graemsay boat is reported
to have been lost or upset betwixt that island and Strom-
ness, with a marriage party, when the bride and bride-
groom, and three men that accompanied them, were all
drowned. An accident similar to this happened a few

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday James Shaw Foster, a middle-aged man in
apparently very bad health, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Hammill, charged with obtaining money by ialse
and fraudulent pretence from tradesmen transmitting
and receiving goods by the Eastern Counties Railway.
William Fearn, clerk in the grain department at the
goods station, in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, stated that it
was the duty of the prisoner, who was a clerk in the
same department, and had been in the company's service
several years, to make out from the invoices duricate
co, tes of tickets for grain sent by-the carmen for deli-
very to houses in town, and that in consequence of it
having been discovered by accident that fraudulent
overcharges were being committed an investigation was
set on foot, when it was established that the prisoner
had been implicated in such transactions, and he was
thereupon given into custody.
J ibis Bolton, clerk to Messrs. Noble, the seedsmen in
Fleet-street, proved that on the 19th of last month their
house received by one of the company's trains 11-1 quar-
ters of,peas from the country, for the freightage of
whichq3i. Ild. was charged in a bill he produced, and
Bs. for the cartage. The bill and goods were delivered
by a man named King, the carter employed, to whom
the money was paid, and who receipted the ticket.
Mr. Fearn proved that the ticket in question was in
the prisoner's handwriting, and, producing a book in
which the proper amount was entered, deposed that
Messrs. Noble had been greatly overcharged, and that
the prisoner had only paid to him the correct value of
the freightage and delivery.
Sergeant Price, who took the accused into custody,
stated, that upon so doing he told him it was all a mis
take, committed in the hurry of business, and that he
should be able, when before the magistrate, to prove that
it was so; but

THE THAMES.

Sir. IL 11. INGLIS said, as one of the Metropo-
litan Improvement Commissioners, he wished to ask
a question of the Noble Lord, which appeared to him
of Great public importance. The Commissioners
made their report in January, 1845, and the Go-
vernment having approved of their recommendations,
Bills were brought in to carry them, which were
adapted, and received the royal assent on the 3d of
August last year. Now, as little or nothing had
been done, and as great expense could not fail to
result from any further delay, he wanted to ask the
Noble Lord what steps were being taken in the
:natter.

Lord MORPETH replied, with respeCt to the
proposed Battersea Park, that several exorbitant
claims had been sent in to the department with which
he was connected, and it had, therefore, been neces-
sary to refer them to a jury. Time had necessarily
been consumed in ascertaining the rights of the parties.
The first case was brought before a jury last Friday,
and he was happy to state that a claim for 10,2121.,
which appeared to him and to the Government sur-
veyors most exorbitant, had been reduced to 750/.
—(Heir, hear) The result, he hoped, would lead
to an accelerated pace with respect to the other
claims.

the non-necessity of an intervention on the principles
contemplated; to which the Noble Lord replied, that
information had been received that the civil war in
Switzerland was at an end, and consequently that the
cause for intervention was tit tln end also, which was
received with cheers by the House.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 3,500 bales, of which 2,500 were American, at
4jd. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm, but there
was not much doing.
There is an entire absence of "Foreign or Colonial
news of any general importance this morning.
At Lloyd's, and at the Insurance Companies, there
are many fears entertained of very severe losses by the
gales of the last few days. At sea the impression is
that the wind was terrifically strong. Only a few dis-
asters are as yet placed on the list of ships disibled or
driven on shore by the hurricane.
It was announced yesterday afternoon that the old
private banking house of Weston and Young in the Bo-
rough, was about to wind up at the close of the year.
Mr. Young, the surviving partner (we believe) has lost
his son, and having ample means, after a long life of ac-
tivity and usefulness, is desirous now of retiring, that, for
the remainder of his days, he may enjoy his °limn cum
dignitate.

The West India mail is now due. The letters are
looked for anxiously, as by it some accounts may
may come to hand how the failures here have affected
the position of owners of propertief in the Islands.
A very heavy market prevailed early this morning for
the Public Securities. Consols for the account receded
to 85k, but they have since rallied to 86 ; and from 85
to 851 for immediate Transfer. There have not been
any extensive transactions entered into. Exchequer-
bills opened at 75., and are now at 4s. premium. Bank
Stock has just declined from 189 to 187. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have only varied from
85k to 85k.
The quotations of the :Foreign Funds have remained
steady to day. Mexican Five per Cents. are quoted at
17i. Portuguese Four per Cents., for the Account, at
221 ; the Three per Cents. at 29i ; and the Four• and-
a-Half per Cents. at 90k. The Belgian Four per Cents.
are at 84.

FOREIGN STATISTICS.

Mr. NESVDEGA'fE stated that, on the 24th of
January last, he moved for returns with respect to
the tariffs of various foreign countries and of our
colonies, which, he complained, had not been pre-
sented to the House.

Lord PALMERSTON replied that the returns
had found their way to the Foreign-office, but that
they were in foreign languages, and as they could
not be translated with the present means at the com-
mand of the Foreign-office, he must leave it to the
Hon. Gentleman and to the House to determine in
what way the returns could be rendered most avail-
ablo.

Mr. NEWI)EGATE solicited the Speaker to
point out in what way he ought to proceed to ob-
tain them in an available shape.
The SPEAKER said the question was a difficult
one. It was quite clear the House could not autho-
rise the transhainn of the returns. The Noble Lord
had stated that the papers could not he translated
without great additional expense to the Foreign-
office; and, therefore, perhaps the best course for the
Hon. Gentleman to adopt was to move that they be
laid on the table.
The matter then dropped.
IRELAND.

In reply to Colonel SIB rtioßr,

The .CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
%Wed that he sincerely trusted the debate on Ire-
land, to come on to-night, would not be an adjourned
one. If not, he could assure the Gallant Colonel that
Irish bu-iness would take the precedence of all other
matters.—(Hear, hear.)
THE EX RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. G. THOMPSON inquired if intelligence of
the death of the ex-Raja of Sattara had been re-
ceived at the Board of Control ; and, if so, whether
it was the intention of the Government to take steps
to have the allowance made to the ex-Raja continued
to his relatives and dependents, who numbered, he
understood, 700 ; also whether intelligence bad been
received to the effect that they had scarcely the
means of interring the deceased Prince. He did not
ask the Government to give the means of upholding
their dignity, but of satisfying, he might say, their
necessities ?—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. C. LEWIS replied that official intelligence of
the death of the ex-Rpja reached the Board of Con-
trol on Saturday. HP had not seen the dispatch,
and Sir J. C. llobhouse was out of town; but he
understood that it did not make any statement with
respect to the condition of the relatives and de-
pendents of the deceased, or with respect to the con-
tinuance of his provision. As, however, he had not
received notice of the question he would make in-
quiry.
London, England, 1847-12-07

Members came to that House, now it must be ad-
mitted by all that they had no power. Then
with respect to the lands in Ireland, he asserted
that from that year, 1793, to the present moment,
they had been cultivated according to the science
of politics, and not the science of agriculture.
In that I I ouse the Members were operated
upon by the voices of their constituents outside
but such was not the case in Ireland. If Ireland were
properly represented in that House there would be
no necessity for the Government coming
down for a Coercion Bill one year and
a loan of money another. Another subject
of great complaint in Ireland was, and most justly
so, that the whole staff in Ireland down to the present
time had been almost without exception Protestants.
There was one circumstance which had wicened the
breach between Englishmen and Irishmen, that was
the exchange of militias. The people of Jreland, many
of them at least, had been rifled of their lands and
estates, and it was not to be wondered at that the
descendants of those unfortunate people should still
cling to a hope that the property which they
had been unrightfully deprived Had Napoleon
instead of Wellington won at Waterloo, many of
England's estates might have been confiscated, and he
asked the House whether, had such been the case, the
p-eple of this country would have remained satisfied till
they had recovered what they had lost. Well,
it was just in this way that the people of Ire-
land had been deprived of their rights and lands,
and he called upon the house to look at the
present state of the continent of Europe, at the pre-
sent state of America, and then to tell him whethei
it was safe to disregard the cries of Ireland for a
redress of grievances ? Well, then, let him have
this Committee, let them see at once whether
Irish agriculture could not be restored to
a state of prosperity, so as to be en-
abled to supply Eng.and with food without
her having recourse to foreign granaries. He had
been called an infidel—he had been denounced
as a revolutionist ; but in his own conscience
he felt that no man was doing more to
sow the seeds of peace and good-will amongst
all classes of society than himself.::His every hour
was directed to that subject, and in order that he
might not be misrepresented in future he would tell
the House and the country that he was for
the alter, the throne, and the cottage, but he wished
the alter to be the footstool of God and not the couch
of man ; the throne based upon the affections of
the people, and not on the lust of the aristocracy, and
the cottage the castle of the freeman, instead of the
she:e.—(Hear, and cheers.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. BINGIIASI yesterday proceeded to give judgment
in the case of Sir G. Berkeley v. Attenborough, which
was argued before him last week. He said the points in
tl►e case were of too great nicety to be settled at quarter
sessions; they ought to be decided by a higher court.
He would give every facility for taking the case to the
courts at Westminster; but ho certainly did not see
that the quarter sessions were in a position to give a
much better decision than he had given, and there was
this reason—that it was probable the decision of the
quarter sessions would be appealed against. There was
no dispute about the facts; so the best way would be to
state a general issue, and let the superior courts of law
decide the question.
Mr. Attenborough said he hoped he sto: d before the
Court without any impeachment of character fur having
contested the point.

Mr. BINGHAM said, certainly. lie was only an in-
nocent recipient of the goods, and he was perfectly
justified in trying what was the effect of an Act of Par-
liament.

The plaintiff's solicitor applied for the restoration of
other property not included in the summons.
Mr. Attenborough would readily give up that pro-
perty also. It was not a question of pounds, shillings,
and pence with him. It was a question as to the proper
construction of an Act of Parliament. Mr. Attenbo-
rough also denied that the plate had on it the family
arms of Sir G. Berkeley.
