BOROUGII UOP MARKET.
Wo have again to notice a steady, though not to say
brisk demand for the best new H ps in pockets, at fully
last week's quotations. In all other kinds exceedingly
little business is doing at barely late rates. New Hops:
—Sussex pockets, 21 5s to 21 18s ; Weald of Kent
ditto, 218 s to 31 ss; Mid and East Kent ditto, 2/ 12s
to 5112 s per cwt.

WOOL.
During last week the imports of Wool into London
were composed of 140 bales from the Cape, 23 ditto
from Odessa, 831 ditto from Islay, 912 ditto from Syd-
ney, 9 ditto from Ilamburgh, 350 ditto from Algoa Bay,
and 700 ditto from Port Phillip. The supplies of Wool
on offer in the private contract market are by no means
extensive, while the demand is tolerably steady, at full
prices. Further arrivals arc expected from New South
Wales.

TALLOW.
A very large quantity of Tallow having arrived from
New Sou:h Wales and South America, our market has
continued to rule excessively heavy since our last report,
and the deliveries have fallen off considerably. Prices
are quite 6d per cwt lower than on Monday last, and the
stock exceeds 36,000 casks. P.Y.C. on the spot is sel-
ling at 44s to 43s 6d per cwt. Scarcely anything is
doing for forward delivery. 'Town Tallow, 443 per cwt
net cash ; Rough Fat, 2s 5d per 81bs.

CRIMINAL. COURT.-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.

These sessions commenced to-day before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Pixie and Hunter, the
Sheriffs, &c.
Although it is only a fortnight since the termination
of the last session, the calendar contains no less than
138 prisoners for trial, of which London sends 21; Mid-
dlesex, 78; Essex, 2; the Admiralty, 3 (the gold dust
robbery); Kent, 8; and Surrey, 26.
The grand jury having been empanelled and sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. It would not be necessary for him to occupy any
considerable portion of the time of the grand jury byany
remarks applicable to the calendar. The total number of
persons comprehended in it was 138, and that number
would probably receive some augmentation during the
coarse of the labours of the grand jury; but that number
would necessarily fall short of the number usually added,
in consequence of the lightness of the labours of the
grand jury consequent upon the short period that had
elapsed between the termination of the last and the com-
mencement of the present session. He nas most happy
to perceive that, with the lightness of the calendar,
there was a corresponding diminution of offences of an
aggravated character. There was only one charge of
cutting and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily
harm, there was one charge of arson, and one of murder,
and other charges, in addition to a numerous class of
eases of larceny and offences against the person, and
there were four cases of robbery with force. Of all the
cases, however, enumerated in the calendar, there were
but five to which he should think it necessary to call the
particular attention of the geand jury. The first was
the case of arson. With respect to that case It appeared
to him, looking at the depositions, that the grand jury
would find themselves called upon to put the case in a
state of further investigation. It was the case of a party
accusing himself of a crime which it was not impossible
for him to commit, and such being the case, he thought the
grand jury would hardly ignore the bill, and thus de-
clare that the party did not do the act of which he ac-
cased himself. There was a case of larceny committed
tfpon the high seas, in which three parties were charged
with abstracting a large quantity of gold dust of great
value. Now, it was his duty to tell the grand jury, that
though the offence was committed on the high seas, and
in a remote part of the world, that Court was now so
constructed as to entertain jurisdiction over it, though
formerly it did not. The facts of that case were ex-
tremely simple, and he thought the grand jury would
coincide with him, that it would be necessary to take
the opinion of a petty jury upon them.
,There was then
a charge of rape and assault. On that case he invited
the attention of the grand jury to the evidence of the
medical man; and if, after hearing that evidence, they
thought there was not sufficient to warrant the charge,
they would of course ignore the hill, but if otherwise,
they would put the matter in a course of further hives-
tigation. There was than a charge of manslaughter, and
the manner in which it was alleged to have occurred was
by gross negligence and the mismanagement of a railway
edebine, detached from railway carriages at the time the cc-
-odentoccurred, which ended in the death of the party. Now
it was right that he should tell the grand jury that in
such a case, to sustain the crime of manslaughter, gross
and criminal negligence must be proved. If a case of
Cross and criminal negligence was proved upon the evi-
dence to the satisfaction of the gr.,nd jury, it would be
their duty to put the case in a course of further inquiry;
but if they felt convinced it was the result of accident,
they would probably withdraw the case from the atten-
tion of the petty jury. There was only one other case
to which he thought it necessary to call the
attention of the grand jury, and that was the melan-
choly one of a charge of murder by her mother of
her recently born child by the exposure of its
person in the open air, in an unfrequented place. It was
right that he should tell the grand jury that the!:
of a helpless person by such means was, in the eye of
the law, as much murder as if violence had been used.
It would, however, he for them to consider the evidence
in the case, and to form their opinion upon it ; and in
order to aid and assist them in forming their opinion, the
Learned Judge read to the grand jury part of the chargt-
of Mr. Justice Coltman in a similar case, in which that
Learned Judge laid down the distinction between the
party being exposed in a private and public place, and
commented upon the intention of the party doing the
act. After a few further observations, the Learned
Recorder remitted the grand jury to the discharge of
their duties.
The Court then proceeded to swear in the petty jury.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY)
John Burk, David Mackay, and William :Burn,
three sturdy young Irishmen, were brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with having assaulted the police.
Police constable 214 D, said, this morning he was on
duty, about half-past one, in Oxford street, when he
saw the three prisoners, and seven others, standing at
ihe corner of Orchard-street, conducting themselves in
an extremely violent manner. Witness went up to them
and desired them to move away. The prisoners re-
fused, and told their companions to pitch into the b--
police. They, however, did not take this advice, but
went peaceably away. The prisoner Mackay then came
up to him and struck him a tremendous blow in the
face, and knocked him down. Police constable
180 at that moment came up and rescued
him from the prisoners. The latter then rushed
upon them both, and attempted to throw them down.
Constable 180 then sprang hisrattle for assistance, and
several constables of the D division having come to their
aid, the prisoners were secured and conveyed to the
station.

Police constable 180 C, having corroborated the evi-
dence, the prisoners were asked what they bad to say in
answer to the charge.
The prisoners said they were as quiet as " lambs,"
and were standing at the corner orthe street considering
whether they should have some coffee when the consta-
bles came up and took them in charge.
Mr. Buicuers said there was not the least doubt on
his mind as regarded the assault being committed ou the
constables, and he should commit the prisoners to the
House of Correction for seven days with hard labour.
Charles Gosling was charged before Mr. Bingham
with being riotous in the house of Mr. William Taylor,
the King's Head Tavern, Park-lane.
The complainant stated that on Saturday night, about
nine o'clock, the prisoner came into his house and had
some gin and water, which, having drank, he obsti-
nately refused to pay for. Witness finding it useless to
ask him for money, desired him to leave his house. The
prisoner refused, and on witness attempting to eject him,
he (prisoner) kicked him, and called out " murder" as
loud as he could. The prisoner then ran into the parlour
and laid hold of the bagatelle-table and broke one of the
legs off. lie was proceeding to further violence, when a
constable, who in the mean time had been sent for, ar-
rived, and the prisoner was given in charge.
The prisoner, who made a very lame defence, was
fined 65., being the amount of damage done, and in addi-
tion he was bound over in bis own recognizances to keep
the peace tow ands complainant for the next three months.

THE RECLAMATION OF WASTE
LAND IN IRELAND.
LETTER IV.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL,
My Lord,—Although " One eyed men" 1,-yevented
the proposal I-made of having the, valuation land
permanent from being adopted, and this without ,7'B'"
signing any reason for their opposition, it is surely
almost unnecessary to say a word in proof of the
assertion, that no person, whether landlord, tenant, or
labourer, could possibly be injured by it, for by the
employment of the people they must all be benefited.
The active and intelligent proprietor, who has for
some years past teen improving his estate, may pos-
sibly regret that he had not postponed his labours;
but yet he would be as much benefited by the em-
ployment of the people as his idle neighbour, indeed
more so, because his poor rates are now of larger
amount, and would be reduced.
The advantages of the measure being indisputable,
and this without injury to any individual, the public
have a right to ask why your Lordship permitted the
counsels of " One eyed men" to prevail and prevent
the adoption of so beneficial a measure.
Such men never discuss a subject fairly; when
pressed on any point they always seek shelter in
generalities, and in this case they will say that my
calculations are very much exaggerated, and my
tables consequently erroneous.
But your Lordship will not fail to observe, that
even supposing the calculations to be exaggerated,
the principle of the tables remains unassailed; because
the price of the land when bought and when sold, and
the expense of reclamation, is precisely the same in
both tables—increase or diminish these figures as you
please, the principle of the table is precisely the same.
This word "Exaggeration" is, however, one of the
common forms under which those who are unable or
unwilling to enter into a subject shelter themselves.
I believe that not only I have not exaggerated, but
that I have considerably underrated the profits of
such an undertaking.
One omission, alluded to in my last, is palpable. I
have taken no credit for any reduction of the poor-
rate which must occur from the employment of so
many people; I calculated it at its present amount,
viz., 1,2501. per annum. Say that this is reduced
only one-half, or 6251.; here is a capital, at twenty-
five years' purchase, of 15,6251., to be added to the
credit side in the tables.
But this subject recals to to my mind another fact
I in which the counsels of " One-eyed men" unfortu-
nately prevailed ; for your Lordship knows that the
Government has had for many months in their pos-
session the best of all possible answers to this cry of
exaggeration.
A party, practically acquainted for years past
with the subject, offered to guarantee the Govern-
ment, to the extent of 20,0001., from any loss arising
from the reclamation of land under his care. He re-
quired no salary; what he asked for his services was
that he should have the right of purchasing the land,
when reclaimed, at the exact sum it had cost the
Government.
Your Lordship knows that the offer was made on
the avowed ground, that it was the best mode of
meeting those unmeaning exclamations of " ruinous
project," &c., with which " One• eyed men" indulge,
wish the view of frightening more sensible men.
Your Lordship is also aware that the party who
made the offer concealed nothing from Government;
all his calculations were before them—calculations
founded on actual experience; had that offer been
accepted, hundreds who are now fed in idleness under
the superintendence of Government officers would
have been earning their daily bread, and adding a per-
manent source of wealth to the nation.
In my next letter I will enumerate the advantages
which must have flowed from the acceptance of this
offer, thereby giving another proof of the value o
" One • eyed men."
I have the honour to remain,
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
RIGBY WASON

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness
the Prince Albert, attended by Viscountess Canning,
the Lady Caroline Cocks, Viscount Elphinstone,
Major-General Wemyss, and Colonel Bouverie, at-
tended Divine service at WhiPpingham Church this

T. Protheroe.

The severity of the weather prevented his Royal
Highness the Prince Albert from visiting her Ma-
jesty's ship Excellent upon Friday, as intended.
At the Queen's Privy Council held at Osborne on
Saturday, Parliament was ordered to be further pro-
rogued from Tuesday, the 19th of December, until

Right H. Labouchere, returned to town on Saturday
evening from Osborne, Isle of Wight.

We regret to learn that General the Hon. Sir
Edward Paget, G.C.8., the respected Governor of Chel-
sea Hospital, continues in a very unsatisfactory state of
health. The Gallant General is at Cowes, where he has
resided for many months past.
GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL TO THE LATE LORD
MAYOR.-Our readers will be pleased to hear that
Alderman Hooper, the late Lord Mayor, has received a
gratifying testimonial, which proves that his kindness
and courtesy have been as fully appreciated by foreigners
abroad as at home. When Alderman Hooper received
the visit from the French National Guards in London,
they unanimously expressed themselves highly delighted
with the kind manner in which they were received. On
the following day several of the body called at the Man-
sion House to deliver their thanks again on behalf of
their countrymen, and on Monday last, Mr. Weale, of
Holborn, waited upon the Alderman with a splendid
copy of Mr. Hector Horeau's "Panorama d'Egypt et de
Nubie," with proof impressions of the plates, as a gift
from the author, one of the Garde National de Paris,
and one of those who had experienced so much kindness
and attention at his hands.
Tan EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—His Imperial Majesty,
with that liberal and considerate appreciation of scien-
tific pursuits for which he is so eminently distinguished,
has lately presented to Sir W. Snow Harris, F.R.S., a
magnificent ring, richly set in diamonds, and further
embellished with the Imperial cypher, as a mark of his
Majesty's high sense of the value of Sir W. Snow Har-
ris's scientific labours.

EARLY RISING.-64 He who will thrive must rise at
five." So says the proverb, though there is more of
rhyme than reason in it : for if
He that will thrive must rise at five,
it must follow, a fortiori,

He whO'd-ihrive more must rise at four ;
and it would ensue, a fortissimo,
He who'd more thriving be must always rise at three ;
He 'dby way
o
the former
eriot istilidnuhq:,id rit=geoaosdthat
early as two ;
and,
He IN ho'ci ne',:r be outdone most alp} s rise at one ;
while, as a clincher to the whole, it should be added, as a
sort of grand climateric, that
lie who'd be thriving quite must sit up all the night.

ITALY.
Advices have been received from Naples to the 7th.
Prince Satriano (General Filangeri) is to succeed
Prince Cariati as President of the Council and Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs. He is to be charged with
conducting the conference in the Sicilian affair with
Mr. Temple and M. Rayneval.
The Russian Minister at Rome, Mr. Boutenieff,
had arrived at Naples.
The Alba, Florence journal, of the Bth instant, an-
nounces the return to Rome, on the 6th, of the Mar-
quis Sachetti, who had been charged by the Govern-
ment with a mission to the Pope. The envoy, after
many difficulties, had obtained an audience of hie
Holiness, who told him that he had already appointed
a commission to govern the Roman dominions in his
absence. The Minister of War, M. Campello, had
published a circular, in which he denounced Baron
Charles Zucchi as having illegally assumed the title
of Commissioner of the Pope, in an order of the day
to the troops.
" The Roman Ministry," it says, " fortified by the
sanction of the Chambers, declares that it cannot recog-
nise that title, as applied to Baron Zucchi, who, on the
27th of November, resigned his command of the Pon-
tifical troops into the hands of General Latour. An in-
junction is issued to all the civil and military authori-
ties not to obey his orders. The only orders they are
bound to obey are those forwarded by the Ministry, and
whoever shall violate this prescription hall be reputeo
I.,•hyllious to the constitution.:( 11FtiS the
St)to, tried, and puniAcd :.-ai:!l).—Rota:..., c, Luber

An official contradiction has been given in the
Piedniontese Gazette to the rumour that Charles
