SPIRITS.—There was a fair quantity of all descriptions of
Rum on show to-day. Jamaica was purchased with caution
by shippers and the home trade. Holders, however, were
unwilling to reduce their prices; common quality we quote
3s 5d to 3s 6d, middling 3s 7d to 3s 9d, good to fine 3s 10d to
4s Bd. The market has a dull appearance for Lee-
ward Island, but there are not sellers of common
quality under 9s per gallon proof. Calcutta has been
purchased with caution, but prices remain at is lid to
2s. per gallon proof with certificate. For Demerara the de-
mand has been only for small parcels. Brandy is still at-
tracting attention, and prices are on the advance. Geneva
for exportation has been sold at 2s to 2s 2d for common
quality, and fine for home use 2s 7d to 2s 10d. For English
Corn Spirits prices have declined 3d, the quotation being now
103 6d per gallon, nett cash. Gin is not cheaper, but the de-
mand has been less active.

INDIGo.--There has been little business transacted in any
description of East India by the home trade; there ha, been
scarcely any export demand, and those parties that are in-
clined to sell are still compel( d to accept prices 3d to 6d per
lb under those of the last quarterly sale.
TAR.—A much better demand has prevailed, but no ad-
vance has taken place in prices. 2,000 barrels of Stockholm
have been disposed of at 15s 3d, and small parcels at 15s 6d
to 16s per barrel. In Spirits of Turpentine a good business
has been transacted at 63s to 645, and of Rough some parcels
have been sold at 13s. per cwt. Some parcels of the latter
arrived.

OILS.--A considerable business has been transacted in Lin-
seed Oil for home consumption, and prices continue on the
ascendency: the crushers keep working with caution. Rape
Oil has been in good request, and prices keep firm.
Cocoa Nut Oil has been purchased with more freedom, and
prices are on the ascendancy. For Pains a good demand has
seen experienced, and prices rule firm. Olive Oil is
wanted, and several parcels have been disposed of. Of Cod
Oil the trade have been tempted to take several par-
cels in consequence of holders accepting low rates.
Seal has been purchased with caution. Southern cannot be
quoted higher in price, but a fair amount of business has been
transacted privately. Sperm is not offered at any further de-
cline in prices, and the supply is less than it was, but the trade
operate with caution. American Lard Oil has been purchased
with caution.

GUANO is not to be had upon lower terms, but there has
been less business transacted.

TALLOW. —The trade entertain a favourable opinion
towards Russian ; prices continue on the advance. For de
livery in the next two months several contracts have been
entered into at 43s to 43s 3d per cwt. Town Tallow has
been in excellent demand, and Irices are on the ascendancy.
Of all other descriptions several parcels have been taken pri-
vately, and rather higher rates are given. The quantity of
Tallow expected to arrive for some time i 3 small, and the
stock in second hands is light.

•CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
BANH NOTE ROBBERY.—Chuiles Bowen and George
Lake, described in the calendar as waiters, on the open-
ing of the Court this morning, were placed at the
bar on the charge of stealing 15 bank notes of the
value of 150 L, the property of the Rev. William Price
Lewis; also John Dancock, likewise described as a waiter,
and George Bates, a jeweller, charged with feloniously
receiving the same, well knowing them to have been
stolen.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The RECORDER, having gone minutely and carefully
through the whole of the evidence, left the case in the
hands of the jury, who almost immediately returned a
verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.
Mr. BODKIN said he was instructed by the prosecutor
to recommend the prisoner Lake to the merciful consi-
deration of the Court, on the ground that he believed he
had been led into the commission of the offence by the
prisoner Bowen.
The jury expressed a desire also to recommend Lake
to mercy on the same ground.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the
prisoners had been convicted of a most serious and ag-
gravated offence, and although he was at all times most
anxious to pay attention to any recommendation that
came from a jury, yet upon this occasion he felt that his
duty to the public would compel him, to a certain
extent, to overlook that recommendation in the case of
the prisoner. Lake. The offence was one of a very ag-
gravated character. A robbery to a very large amount
had been committed in a public hotel, for which the pro-
prietor was not only civilly responsible, but which
was calculated also to do him serious injury, by
the alarm and terror which the circumstance of such a
robbery being committed would very naturally create in
the minds of the public, and particularly those who were
in the habit of frequenting his establishment. He trusted
that, as the guilty parties in the present instance had
been very properly prosecuted to conviction, such a re-
sult would not follow; but still he was bound to look at
all the circumstances of the case, and as the object of
punishment was to deter others from the commission of
a similar crime, he must take care to pass a sentence
calculated to have such effect. It might be very true
that Lake had been induced by Bowen to commit the
offence, but it was also clear, that after having been for
a considerable time in the service of a kind and indul-
gent master, that be had very readily entered into a plan
to commit a robbery to a very large amount upon one of
the guests in his house. Under all the circumstances he
felt compelled to order the prisoner Bowen to be trans-
ported for fifteen years, Lake for ten years, and Dancock
and Bates for fourteen years.
THE ALLEGED MURDER ON BOARD THE TORY.—The
following is the form on which the charges against
Captain Johnston appear on the calendar :—George
Johnston, 34, mariner, charged with the wilful murder
of William Rambert upon the high seas, within the
jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England ; also for the
wilful murder of Thomas Rason upon the high seas, &c.;
also for the wilful murder of William Mars upon the
high seas, &c. In addition to these charges of murder,
there are also twelve indictments against the prisoner
for cutting and wounding with intent to murder, which
is likewise a capital offence. It is generally understood,
that on account of the state of health of the prisoner,
and for other reasons, that the trial will not come on at
the present sitting of the Court, but that it will be post-
poned to the February sessions.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, of Jan. 6.)
SlTGAR.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed
;his day. Importers of West India displayed more firmness;
the trade manifested a greater desire to operate, and a good
business was transacted in grocery and refining descriptions
at prices exhibiting an advance on those current previous to
the holidays of 6d. A much larger quantity of all kinds of
Sugar would have been disposed of had it not been for the
stiff rates that were insisted upon.
REFINED. —Since our last report the market has presented
a firm appearance for Refined Sugar; the demand has been
good from the town and country trade, especially for the
low and middling descriptions, the refiners continuing to
work with caution, have been enabled to obtain rather higher
rates, and Refined is rather cheaper in comparison with
Raw Sugar. Pieces have been purchased freely, but no ad-
vance has occurred in the value ; the supply at present is but a
moderate one. In low Bastards little business has been
transacted, but the better qualities have met with attention.
Treacle has met with a good demand, but better prices are
not obtainable. Bonded Crushed Sugar has been purchased
with more freedom. There has not been much business done
in Dutch Crushed Sugar. Belgium has been purchased with
caution : in Loaves made here in bond a good deal has been
done, but not at better prices.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the trade were eager to
operate ; at a public sale of 5,365 bags and 226 casks, it was
a superior parcel, nearly the whole consisting of middling and
good bright grocery descriptions; the quantity of common
Sugar in the sale was unusually small, the whole sold estab-
lishing an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d to
is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there were six public sales of
Bengal Sugar, consisting of 5,070 bags, the chief part of
which consisted of white and the better descriptions of
yellow; nearly the whole found buyers at and after the sales,
but prices gave way 6d to is for white, Is to Is 6d for low
brown and low yellow, whilst the better kinds of brown and
yellow brought an advance of 6d to is per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The amount of business transacted by private
treaty in brown Brazil has been extremely limited, although
there are sellers at the late considerable decline that has
taken place in prices. Of white the only transaction worth
noticing is that of a floating cargo of Bahia to be delivered
at Trieste at 25s 9d per cwt., which is rather under former
rates-, Yellow Havannah is dull of sale, and if parcels were
to be pressed, former rates could not be obtained. White is
neglected, and prices are little better than nominal. Other
sorts of Foreign have met with a dull sale.
CAIFFEn--This afternoon Mocha Coffee was sought after,
but higher rates being asked checked business, and 100 bales
at public sale were taken in at 80s for good yellow long berry,
sea damaged, first-class 725, second ditto 70s, being above the
value. Of Ceylon several parcels were disposed of privately.
TEA.—Although the quantity arrived since this day week
has been large, amounting to 17,991 pkgs, still holders have
displayed firmness and refrained from offering any at public
sale; the trade manifested an increased desire to purchase
all descriptions. In Congou a good deal has been done, espe-
cially in the lower descriptions, and the rates paid are rather
above those previously quoted. Pouchong has been purchased
with increased freedom, and buyers have been compelled to
pay stiffer rates. Twankay is wanted, and prices are on the
advance. For Hyson there has been a much better demand,
and a slight advance in prices has taken place. Gunpowder
has been sold to a fair extent. -Of Imperial several parcels
have been sold. Young Hyson has been disposed of to a fair
extent. Ilyson Skin sells more freely.
SPICES.—To-day holders of Malabar Pepper were inclined
to realise, and two parcels were offered at public sale amount-
ing to 6,021 bags ; the whole found purchasers, but at a de-
cline on former rates of fully id per lb. Sumatra was only
in limited demand, but 60 bags at auction fetched the full
value. Nutmegs are not much wanted.
RICE.—There has been an improved demand for Bengal
Rice, but not at better prices—low to middling fetching
nt Madras
are hasth e mraetetsw given,ith more 14s 6d to 15s 6d, and good to fine at 16s to 17s per cwt.
attaevniti,onh,nwanevdelr,3slitttolelsbsus6dinpesesr
In Java, has been done. For cleaned Rice, lower rates having been
taken,
taken, caused buyers to operate more freely—Carolina at 30s
to 345, and Patna at 18s to 235.
Sego.—Pearl was purchased with mere freedom this after-
noon, and 60 chests at public sale were sold fa t 1l
middling small white bringing 32s to 33a ut. rates, good
CocniNEAL—Prices rule firm, and thereper cw
has been a brisker
demand privately ; Honduras silvers at 5s 2d to 5s 9d, black
5s 9d to 6s Bd, Mexican silvers 5a to 54 4d, and black 55 6d
to 63 per lb.
mo"ssEe.—This afternoon 52 puncheons and 35 hhds of
Bengal Treacle were submitted to public sale, and taken in at
21s per cwt for thick, but rather foul.
W001..--For English rather lower rates having been
accepted tempted buyers to operate with more freedom, and
several parcels have been disposed of. In Foreign and
little business transacted,
Colonial there has, however,been
and previous rates cannot be obtained.
Styx.—Holders of Italian submitting to rather lower rates,
tempted the trade to operate with more freedom. Piedmont
eltows 2fif 303-
white has been selling at 28s to 305, and Y
In East India the operations have been upon a more extended
scale, but at rather lower rates.

county, and not allowed any extra food or indulgerces,
procured either by themselves or their friends.

THE COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUM AND THE RECENT ACT OF

PARLIAMENT.

Mr. FRESHFIELD brought forward a motion relative
to the necessity of providing an additional building and
nec,.ssary accommodation for the pauper lunatics of the
county. From the statement of the Learned Magistrate
it appeared that the present County Lunatic Asylum,
which was erected at an expense of 90,0001, was only
capable of affording accommodation for 400 patients ;
while by the returns made there were nearly 300 pauper
lunatics in addition to those of the Asylum, and which
were obliged to be supported at Bethlehem and private
asylums, at an expense of Bs. a week, which was much
more than they could be maintained at in the asylum.
By the Act of Parliament, the Bth and 9th of Victoria,
c. 126, the Secretary of State had the power to compel
them to provide accommodation for those additional lu-
natics, and in ord r to prevent such necessity, he (Mr.
Freshfield) moved that the Committee of Visiting Jus-
tices of the County Lunatic Asylum be requested to
pursue their inquiries and investigation into tha matter,
with a view of c ,rnplyinl, with the provisions of the re-
cent Act, and that they make their report to the next
session.

Mr. rawEs observed that by the report presented
relative to the asylum, it appealed that only thirteen
individuals had been sent out cured, and that there was
but little hope held out of the ultimate restoration to
sanity of the others. In his (Mr. Hawes's) opinion
th"re were a great number of chronic cases in the asy-
lum, and these the Magistrates had the power, under
the Act of Parliament before adverted to, to place in
private asylums, or other places, and by making the
asylum that which it ought to be, a place for the cure of
insanity, and not the place of safety for confirmed idiots,
there might, he thought, be found in the present build-
ing accommodation, if not for the whole, at least a great
number of those county lunatic paupers, who were at
present at Bethlehem and elsewhere.
Mr. BRISCOE spoke at some length on the question,
and thought that as the subject was one of considerable
interest to the county, and involving the outlay of a
considerable sum of money, that a greater length of time
should be given for its consideration than the period
from the present to the next quarter-sessions.
Mr. HurT,N, in order to meet the objection of the
Hon. Magistrate who had last addressed the Court,
moved, as an amendment, that the words " next session"
be omitted in the resolution of Mr. Freshfield.

Colonel Chaluner, Mr. Austin, and other magistrates
havine, addressed the Court on the subject, and it being
remarked that if the Committee were not perfectly
ready with their report at the next quarter sessions, it
would not be compulsory on them to present it, the re-
soluticn was put in its original form and carried.
The discussion on the question of applying the various
prisons in the county to a particular cla=sification of
offences was postponed to the next quarter-sessions, upon
which Mr. Denison rose to request that due notice should
be given to the magistrates, so that they might attend
on so important an occasion as that of considering the
question of expending the enormous sum of 200,0001. to
be raised on the county.—(Cries of "No, no.") Mr.
Denison contended that the original estima'e for
building the county lunatic asylum was 55,0001., and
this only to accommodate 350 pauper lunatics. The
buildings have cost 90,0001., and as there were nearly
300 lunatics unprovided with accommodation, it was nut
too much to say, in the present times, when the actual
cost of a building was at least donble the amount of the
original estimate, that the money required fur the addi-
tional buildieg would be nearly as much as that already
expended. Then, added to this, there would be a large
sum required for additional prison-room, to enable the
magistrates to carry out the classification they intended,
and therefore he would repeat it was necessary that the
magistracy of the county should he in attendance.
After a few words in explanation from Mr. Freshfield,
and one or two other magistrates, some further routine
business was disposed of, and the Court adjourned to this
day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-ROUSE.

denied that they knew anything about any robbery, but
subsequently the wife admitted that she had stolen all
the bottles in a case of Madeira, which was worth, at
trade price, the sum of 211., with the exception of one
bottle, and that she had effected an entrance into the
cellar by taking up the boards of a closet in the floor
above. Four bot les of wine were found concealed in
the house, and the re were found six empty bottles, which
she confessed had been emptied on the Sunday night
previous. She declared that her husband knew nothing
about the robbery.
The LORD MAYOR said the prisoner had ruined her
husband as well as herself, for he had been dismissed
from the force, and she must be committed for trial.

The wretched woman, who appeared to suff«•r deeply,
and had an infant in her arms, was then committed for
trial.

Fox and Hannell, who were some days ago remanded
upon a charge of having conspired with others to obtain
goods by means of false referees, were brought up for
re-examination before the Lord Mayor yesterday. Mr.
Humphreys attended for the prisoners.
Mr. Archer; a traveller for the firm of Capps and Co.,
detailed at greater length the statements made by him
on Friday last relative to the goods obtained from the
firm by the prisoners, who gave references as to their
respectability which proved to be completely deceptions.
Upon his cross-examination by Mr. Humphreys, the
witness said that the prisoners, who passed as partners,
had paid 111. upon account, and had given a bill for the
rest, which amounted to 201.
When the LORD MAYOR desired to see the bill and
invoice, the witness in vain searched his pockets for
them. He could not find either, though he tried his
coat, waistcoat, and trousers' pockets for them, but
luckily one was found in one part of the room, and the
other trodden under foot in another part. The bill was
drawn by the firm, accepted by the prisoner James Fox,
and indorsed by a person named Broad, the referee of
the prisoners. The concoctors all ran away before the
bill became dud. The place in which the prisoners car-
ried on, or rather pretended to carry on business, was
Walthamstow, where a shop had been apparently, but
not really, opened by them for general trade. The
landlord, who did not receive his rent for the premises,
was present, and couid probably let the Court see a little
more of the matter.
Mr. Humphreys—Then you have received 111. out
of the 301.? Witness—Certainly we have.
Mr. Humphreys—Then it appears that you have got
the 11/. in cash on this dealing? Witness—Yes.
Mr. Humphreys—And you have got a bill for 201.,
upon which you may sue if you please?—(Laughter.)
Witness—Certainly; but all the parties ran away.
They never opened the shop at all. There has been a
mistake made as to the day of examination, or a great
many people would be here against the prisoners.
Alfred Prince, a person in the employment of Mr.
Tower, the proprietor of a boot and shoe warehouse on
Holborn-hill, stated that Fox called at the premises on
the 14th of November, and asked whether he could get
credit upon good security. The house agreed to give
him credit for 151. if he would pay 51. down; and Fox
referred them to a Jew, and brought them a bill
accepted by a Mr. Nash for 101. Witness heard such
a character of the parties from the Jew's mother, that
the firm gave credit for goods from time to time to the
amount of 41/. Fox paid 5/. down, and subsequently
paid two or three 5/. notes, and had goods each time
upon the faith of the reference. The bill accepted by
Nash was not yet due, and there was another bill in the
hands of the firm, accepted by the Jew and drawn by
Fox, for 101:which likewise was not due. The parties
were traced to York-street, Kingsland-road, but they
left that address, and their abode could not since be
foiled. The firm to which witness belonged always sent
the goods to a house opposite to Shoreditch Church,
where he used to see Fox, who said that he had taken a
house at Walthamstow, and was going to enter into
business there. If, as would probably be the case, the
two bills were not taken up, the debt due from the prisoners
to the firm would be 40/. Several of the goods supplied
to Fox were afterwards found at the houses of pawn-
brokers to whom they had been pledged.
John Walker, Wood-street, Walthamstow, cabinet-
maker, stated that Fox and Hannell went down to
Walthamstow in the beginning of November, took a
house and shop of a Mr. Pridgeon, in Bridge-street
there, and applied to witness to fit up the shop. He did
fit it up, and made the charge to Mr. Fox, for he did not
know the name of the other prisoner until he saw it in
the newspapers. Mr. Fox acted as master, and said the
other was his brother-in-law, and would pay everything
and everybody. Two bales of goods arrived while wit-
ness was fitting up the place. They consisted of trousers
and handkerchiefs, and other things of the kind, and
witness believed that he might have got the amount of
his bill, which was 11. 16s. 2d., in these goods if he
pleased, but he thought it unfair to take the goods from
new beginners. The shop was never opened at all.
Sometimes the shutters were down, but then the door
was shut, and it was useless to knock ; and sometimes
the door was open, bat then the shutters, or most of them,
were up. Witness saw goods removed from the
premises. About a fortnight after he fitted up the shop
he saw Hannell in the street with a handkerchief full of
shoes. About a month after they disappeared.
Charles Geary, of Bridge-street, Southwark, corn-
dealer, stated that, three months ago, he was in the
employment of Mrs. Bennet, pastry-cook and confec-
tioner. Fox came about that time and ordered a quan-
tity of flour, Scotch barley, and split peas, which it was
agreed should be paid for daily at No. 22 or 23 Charles-
street, Hackney-road. Witness applied for the amount
on Saturday night, anal on Monday, which was appointed
for the discharge of the debt, Fox, who went in the
name of Ellis, and was entered in the books in that
name, was gone. There was nobody at the address,
neither was there anything. The shop was in the
general line, and Hannell served behind the counter.
The pawnbrokers were then called. They produced
several of the articles supplied by the witnesses to Fox
and Hannell.
One of the pawnbrokers exhibited a pair of boots,
which he said Hantaell had pledged, and which were
identified by Prince.
Hannell—Yes, tis true I pledged them (to the pawn-
broker), and you gave me a bad half-crown amongst the
money.—(A laugh.)
The policeman who apprehended Hannell said that,
upon searching the prisoner, he certainly found a bad
half-crown in his pocket.
Hannell—And that man gave it to me, I swear.
Mr. Humphrey (to :Flannell)—You cannot possibly do
yourself any good by such observations.
Mr. Thomas Pridgeon, grocer, Walthamstow, stated
that Fox took the house in that village from him as a
weekly tenant on the 16th of October, and agreed to
pay five shillings a week for it. He remained there
about ten weeks, and. departed without giving notice.
Witness had receiv(el five weeks' rent. flannel! was
generally in the shop. Witness knew that several per-
sons called to purchmil goods, but they could not get
in. In fact, in the day nobody was to be seen there
at all.

Arthur Webb was committed for trial upon the charge
of having, i❑ receiving change of a sovereign, substituted
a medal of no worth for a half-sovereign, by which
manwuvre he robbed William Wilkins, a green-grocer.
The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would
oblige by acknowledging the receipt of 10/. from
Charles Dixon, EA., of Stanstead -park, and 101. from
X. Y.

The LORD MAron said be should remand the prisoners
till Wednesday week.
The prisoners requested to be informed whether his
Lordship would take bail ?
The LORD MAYOR--•Not less than two good securities
to the amount of 250/. each, in each case, and the pri-
soners themselves in 21001. each.
Mary Barrett, the 'wife of a man who bore for some
years a very good character in the City police force, was
charged with having plundered a wine-merchant, over
whose premises she ti nd her husband resided, of a quan-
tity of wine.

Mr. Barker, wine- merchant, of Bi,hopsgate-without,
stated that the pri 3oner and her husband rented a
house over his cellar. 3. Having a suspicion that he was
being plundered, he went, accmpanied by a friend, to
the house, and expre‘Jscd his suspicions to both. They

jured fur life by thrusting the point of a pair of scissors
into his face.

The complainant in reply said that he ascribed her
change of temper to religious delusions under which she
was labouring, and she was impressed with a notion
that he was a sinner—did not attend to his religious
observances, and on that account she was constantly
taunting him with his impiety, and would frequently
break out in loud denunciations against him, and pro-
ceed so far with her vengeance as frequently to assault
him ; that his wife having the advantage of him in point
of strength, availed herself of it, and that he had been a
severe sufferer from her violence of temper.
The wife contradicted the greater part of what had
been stated. Her husband, she declared, was addicted to
vice ; that on the night in question she had merely ex-
pressed a wish to invoke the Almighty, and that being
thwarted by her husband, and in fact abusive words
arose between them, and he struck her, and she resented
the blow.

Mr. COTTINGHAP47-BUt you resented it with a venge-
ance ; for it appears by the evidence you not only got
him down, but jumped upon his body, and afterwards
attacked hi►n with a pair of scissors, with which you
might have endangered his life. As it is you have
severely injured him, and it is my duty. for your own
sake, as well as that of your husband, to impose
such a restraint upon you as will prevent both of
you from the effects of such blind fury, and that will
be by adjudging you to find two sureties of 201.
each, and 3ourself in 401, to keep the peace for six
months. The Magistrate added, that as the defendant's
mind seemed to be affected by strange delusions, the
complainant had better employ some medical gentleman
to examine her on the point, with a view of having her
placed in a situation where she might be properly looked
after, and means adopted to effect her recovery from
such a painful condition of mind.

Entnia Austin was charged, under Lord Ellenborough's
Act, with cutting and wounding William Maxwell, a
lighterman, on the preceding night.
The complainant, who had the upper part of his face
covered with adhesive plaster, stated that on the pre.
ceding night he went into a coffee-shop, in the Waterloo-
road, to take some refreshment. That while he was
,sitting drinking a cup of tea in one of the boxes, the
prisoner entered the room with a dog following her.
She walked into the same box where defendant was
seated, and taking up the animal in her arms placed it on
the table. He requested she would make the dog go
down, at the same time saying that the table was not a
proper place for the animal. The prisoner refused to
comply with the request made, when the complainant
expressed his determination to turn them both out of
the box. She swore that, if he attempted anything of
the kind, she would thrust a knife in his eye. Some
angry words then occurred between them, during
which the complainant gently removed her from the box.
He then sat down, and commenced drinking his tea,
when the prisoner rushed at him, and aimed a blow at
his eye, which missed it, and took effect at the right
angle, close to the organ of sight. The moment he
received the blow, the blood streamed down the side of
his face from a wound which he was not aware then was
inflicted with a knife. He immediately rose from his
seat, and attempted to seize the weapon out of his as-
sailant's hands, in doing which, the front part of his
trousers was cut through, but fortunately he sustained
no injury in the abdomen. He added that the wound at
the side of his eye was afterwards dressed by a surgeon,
who said that, had the instrument entered the eye, it
must have killed him on the spot.
. Mr. COTTINGRAM said, that the charge against the
prisoner, from the deliberate manner in which she armed
herself with the knife, after being turned out of the box,
and after the complainant had sat down and commenced
drinking his tea, was of the most serious character, and
that it was only providential she had not killed him. The
case was one of such an aggravated description, that instead
of dealing summarily with it, which would be a punishment
quite inadequate to such an offence, he should at
once commit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal
Court.

The prisoner, who merely denied that she had stabbed
the complainant, was then committed for trial.

RETROSPECT of the CORN-LAWS.
(From the Devonporf Telegraph.)
The enactment of a law to raise the price of food for
the purpose of sustaining high rents, will render the year
1815 a more marked period in history even than the
battle of Waterloo. This law was based on certain re-
solutions proposed in the House of Commons by Mr. F.
Robinson (now Earl of Ripon), on the 17th of February,
1815. In reading the speech with which the resolutions
were introduced, it is rather curious to find that the pre-
cedent of restrictions on the wool trade was the argument
on which the mover principally relied, because that very
trade now forms the most striking instance which ana-
logy can afford of the inutility of restrictive laws to
protective interests, and their detriment to all other
classes. Among the opponents of the proposed law, we
find Sir Robert Peel, the father of the present Premier,
and we shall extract a portion of one of his speeches ;
" He was anxious to correct a mistake which seemed
to prevail in the House, that the interests of the land-
owner and manufacturer were conflicting and incom-
patible. They were in the view of enlightened policy
the same, and the success or ruin of the one was
the success or ruin of the other ; inasmuch as the
country generally had been enriched by the sale of our
manufactures, the landholders had received their share
of wealth and advantages. It had been the wise policy
of former Governments to keep the price of the chief
article of subsistence as low as possible. Upon this
principle Mr. Pitt had acted with success, but the sys-
tem now was about to be changed. It was undoubtedly
true that the rent of land would be diminished by the
unlimited importation of corn ; but if the resolutions
upon the table passed in their present shape, the manu-
factures of the towns would be destroyed, and the land
must consequently be depreciated. Corn might be grown,
but paupers would be the only customers for it. It was
in truth impossible to separate the two interests. The
value of land in some places had within memory increased
three-fold, the owners had derived their benefit from
the political state of things, and now they must suffer
the depreciation produced by an alteration in that poli-
tical state. With respect to our manufacturers it was al-
lowed that during the war our triumphal situation on
the sea had enabled us to force a trade without rivals; but
now we were open to competition, it would be madness in
us to throw fresh obstacles in the way of those who bad
so many to contend against. In his opinion, it might
be fairly argued that the manufacturer had been the
great benefactor of the landed interests. He did not
say that his design was to serve the landowner. That
had been the effect of the flourishing state of our manu•
factures, and in the difficulties now to be encountered
tho landowner ought to participate. By the measures
now upon the table, the wise system pursued for years
was about to be subverted, and the labourers prevented
from putting the real wealth of the country into that
marketable shape by which this country had been
hitherto made the envy of surrounding nations."
Subsequently he declared that " the more the mea-
sure became known, the more generally it was exe-
crated and condemned." The feelings of the public
on the subject were indeed sufficiently proved by the
fact that the petition against the
measure, from the
City of London, received 40,571 signatures in less
thau ten hours ; and that the civic petition to the
Lords was signed by more than 80,000 persons. When,
however, it became manifest that the patrons of famine
prices were resolved to pass a law to create artifi-
cial scarcity, the greatest excitement prevailed in the
metropolis: On the evening of the 6th of March,
crowds collected round the avenues of the House of
Commons to deprecate the taxation of their bread.
Those who were known to be favourable to raising a
revenue for landlords by taxing the food of the labour-
ers were hooted ; and those who, like Mr. Baring (now
Lord Ashburton), were opposed to the plunder of the
industrious for the benefit of the idle, received some
applause. The carriages of a few members were
stopped to ascertain how they intended to vote; and this
was made the pretext for ordering out a military force,
which acted so violently, that Mr. Lambton (the late Lord
Durham) was nearly trampled down by a troop of horse.
He rushed into the House of Commons, and interrupted
the debate to protest against the unconstitutional display
of an armed force to overawe the deliberations of Par-
liament. It was with some difficulty that the excitement
within doors was calmed ; but outside, notwithstanding
the presence of the military, it continued to increase in
violence. Several of the houses of the leading bread-
taxers were attacked ; but wherever the inmates ex-
hibited forbearance very little damage was done. Lord
Ellenborough came forward, and remonstrated with the
multitude ; and they were so pleased with his deport-
ment, that he was loudly cheered.
Far different was the scene at the house of Mr.
R Robinson (now Lord Ripon), the original pro-
pounder of the bread-tax ; fire-arms were dis-
charged from his parlour windows, which proved
fatal to two innocent persons, Mr. E. Vyse, a mid-
shipman, and Mrs. Watson. It was consistent that a
law to produce starvation should be baptised in blood.
Wilful murder by the musket was a proper preliminary
to wilful murder by famine. This is not our language,
j
it is the verdict of the coroner's uries in both cases. The
coroner's inquest on Mr. Tyso found " Wilful murder
against some person or persons,firit% shot from and out
of fire-arms from Mr. Robinson s windows ; that on Jane
Watson returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against
Mr. Robinson's butler and three soldiers."
It is well worth while to notice the precipitation with
which the corn-law was hurried through Parliament; it
was first broached in the House of Commons on the
17th of February; it was passed in the House of Lords
on the 20th of March. In the interval, the City of
London prayed to be heard by counsel against a measure
so pregnant with danger to the trade and commerce of
the country ; but this reasonable request was rejected
with something like contumely.
A law passed by a packed Parliament of Members in-
terested in the perpretration of injustice naturally pro-
voked the indignation of the people ; and its authors
took measures to suppress the expression of public
?pinion by military violence. No sooner was theincreas-
ing extent of popular discontent known, , than before
anything like outrage was committed, preparations were
made to occupy London with an overwhelming army, as
if it had been a hostile capital. The following. circular
was addressed by the high constable of Brighton to the
different innkeepers of that town and the surrounding
district :
" In consequence of a requisition received by me from
the Quartermaster-General, I have to request you will,
on or before Monday next, furnish me with a correct
return of the number of soldiers you can accommodate,
in case of emergency, on their march through this town ;
also what number of horses you can possibly make room
for,"

This precious missive is doted M.rr•;% 4th, 1815, f:111
there was not the slightest disturbance of the public
peace before Monday, March 7th. The soldiers were
stimulated to commit acts of violence. We have already
mentioned the two murders committed at the house of
the present Earl of Ripon. On the same evening, Mr.
lienrick, of Cecil-street, Strand, who was quietly going
