THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAV EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1846.

Those measures have generally been devised by
considerable ingenuity, and enlarged by no incon-
siderable foresight ; they are generally genial for
their benevolence, aid satisfactory for their com-
prehensiveness. It would be superfluous to enume-
rate Bills already so familiar to the multitude : the
main enterprises undertaken by Lord JOHN RUSSELL
and his colleagues, whereby they have commemo-
rated their inauguration in office, and illustrated the
termination of the session of 1846, were, first, the
equalisation of the sugar duties, and, by that, the
extension of the principles of free trade;
and, secondly, the assuaging of Irish suffering, and
the modification of the legislative enactments hitherto
enforced in Ireland. Those enterprises are now
lalmost completed.

Unless Eromething of an unprecedented character
transpire in the interim, Parliament will be pro-
rogued on Friday. On the twenty-eighth of August,
one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, the most
remarkable, and, in all essential respects, the most
glcrious session recorded in the history of the British
Parliament, will have been brought to a conclusion.
A more satisfactory session could not have been,
as far as its accomplishments are concerned. The
nation is grateful for the concessions there granted to
them ; the memory of the past seven months will
elicit the admiration of posterity. By their proceed-
ings during those seven months the most illustrious
statesmen of the age have acquired for themselves the
love of their contemporaries—some of them have
achieved for their names a beautiful immortality.
Future generations will recur to these times
as those of extraordinary transition and po-
litical beneficence. Remarkable, however as
the dawning of the present Parliamentary
session was, its close is not one whit the less remark-
able. It commenced with justice to the labouring
population of the United Kingdom—it terminates
with justice to the people of Ireland. Whatever
opportunities presented themselves for the considera-
rion of the wrongs of our sister country after the
great commercial changes had been realised, were de-
voted, and are being devoted, to that most laudable en-
deavour on the part of our Legislature. Coercive
measures have happily been found unnecessary for the
maintenance of subordination among her populace.
There are no longer to be either an organized surveil-
lance or a tyrannical interdict with reference to those
weapons which have been particularised in the famous
Arms Bill ever since the revolution of eighty-eight.
The Cabinet Ministers have pledged themselves to
prepare propositions for the better government of
Ireland by the ensuing session ; and such a
cordial and unaffected anxiety has been evinced
by the new Administration to do justice to the peo-
ple of that country, that the Liberator himself (the
most unlikely man in the world to be deceived by
official hypocrisy, or cajoled by specious and illusory
promises) has proclaimed himself ready to
afford the Government all the prestige
and dignity of his vast influence for the purpose
of facilitating their operations.
Meanwhile the Ministry are endeavouring to provide
for the threatened deficiency of provisions. Their
efforts in this particular are, we must acknowledge,
of less apparent generosity and munificence than
the interference of, their predecessors. Intrinsically,
however, those efforts are animated by as much
goodwill, and are dictated, if possible, by
superior sagacity. Yesterday the Poor Employ-
ment (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee
without amendment : the third reading is fixed
for this day. No time, indeed, remains for
any superfluous discussion upon measures of such
intense exigence, especially as the hours of the
session are numbered. That there is an absolute
necessity for that official interposition for the decrease
of destitution in Ireland, upon which during the
last few days we have felt it our bounden duty to in-
sist, we may refer to the honest and simple declara-
tions made by Lord MONTEAGLE. According to
that Noble Lord, the pressure this year infinitely pre-
ponderates over the pressure experienced in the pre.
ceding, insomuch, that he considers the grant of
50,0001. for undertaking public works as " utterly
inadequate." The Noble Lord assured the House
that his correspondence with residents in Ireland was
of the most afflicting character, and from one letter,
written by a magistrate, after:travelling through the
southern districts, the Noble Lord read these most
calamitous and alarming expressions
" You cannot conceive anything so painful as the aspect
of the potatoes. In the count✓ of Cork, for miles, whole
fields have produced only potatoes in a diseased state. So
far from the accounts in the papers being an exaggeration,
I have read none which will enable you to forni a correct
idea of the magnitude of the calamity."
Those are assertions written by a magistrate, and
read by Lord AIONTEAGLE in the British House of
Peers !

Knowing these things, we cannot but feel pride
in remembering the noble munificence of Sir R. PEEL'S
Administration during the last scarcity ; we cannot but
recollect with gratification and with gratitude the ex-
penditure of upwards of 852,000/. for the alleviation
of the consequent distress; nor can we ever forget
that but for the prompt directions of that
Right Honourable Baronet for the importa •
tion of Indian corn and oatmeal, no pro-
visions could have been obtained by that fa-
mishing and penniless population !
Knowing, moreover, that the deficiency will inevit-
ably be of a more extended character during the en-
suing winter, we cannot but look with the utmost
anxiety for the active and unstinting succour of
the Government. It is a wise resolution on the part
of the present Administration not to become, as the
Marquis of LANSDOWNE termed it, "the importers of
corn or meal "—no doubt it is a wise resolution.
Nor is the concentration of the burden of
pecuniary relief upon the baronies an in-
ferior instance of sagacity. We confess that by
such arrangements the Government are stimulating
individual enterprise, enlarging the chance of
assistance to the destitute, and giving a whole-
some encouragement to commerce. We grant all this
willingly ; we acknowledge that the accuracy of such
reasoning is undeniable. Nevertheless, we trust the
Government will be prepared for an emergency. We
fear there may be an extraordinary demand for help
both in money and in nutriment. A Government
should never render itself liable to a provincial sur-
prise.

Before the large expenditure contemplated, and
which •is absolutely necessary, to render Bucking-
ham Palace in any respect a fitting residence for her
MAJESTY is finally sanctioned, it is only right that
full inquiry should take place—that a minute inves-
tigation should be directed, in order to ascertain
whether the laying out of 150,0001. will really make
it a suitable abode for the Sovereign of the British
dominions.

It would indeed be an unwise economy to attempt
to patch up and alter that which cannot permanently
be retained. The British nation entertain too pro-
found a respect, too sincere a feeling of affectionate
loyalty for the QUEEN, to hesitate at any expendi-
ture by which her personal convenience or comfort
can be increased. Since the happy period
of her MAJESTY'S accession to the throne,
she has ever evinced the greatest mode-
refrained from making
aranytione,xtarnadordhiansayscrupulousy
demands
l on the liberality of
her people for the gratification of her own wishes.
The noble generosity with which the exemp-
tion from taxation aiforded by the prerogative
of the Crown was waived when her MAJESTY
assumed the burden of the income-tax, cannot be
forgotten or underrated. The manner in which she came
forward on the occasion of the purchase of Osborne
House, and paid the entire of the expenses connected
with the acquisition from her privy purse, must be
appreciated ; and when at length it becomes necessary
to appeal to the representatives of the people for their
sanction to an expenditure which on all hands must
be admitted to be absolutely unavoidable, she seeks
to lessen the amount, and to make it as light as possible,
by graciously desiring that the Pavilion at Brigh-
ton .should be sold' and the produce applied
in diminution of the stuns to be voted in
future years for that purpose. There is no sacrifice
too great, no expenditure which should not gladly be
undertaken to meet the wishes of a SOVEREIGN who
has thus acted, and who has ever respected the con-
stitutionally-expressed wishes of her people; but it
is not merely a personal ma tier : the dignity of this
great nation demands thatt the Supreme Magis-
trate should be provid ed with a residence
suitable for her exalted rank, and calculated

to afford proper accommodation to the illustrious
foreigners who may honour this kingdom with a visit;
but the first and chief question that must be consi-
dered is, respecting the healthiness of the locality. If
danger should arise to our beloved SOVEREIGN or any
of her family, from the situation of her palace, the
nation would not readily forgive those whose duty it
is to take the matter into consideration, and who
from neglect or other cause, should omit to take
the due and necessary precautions. Now the ground
on which Buckingham Palace is built is low and
marshy, the lower apartments are frequently flooded
at high tides, and it is impossible to suppose that such
a circumstance must not be prejudicial to the health
of the inhabitants. If this be the case, it should at
once be considered decisive on the question. A
new commodious, comfortable, and becoming
palace should be provided with as little deT
lay as possible. There would be no want
of sites fur such a purpose, and the money to be
thereon expended would not be thrown away; for, in
the first place, the 150,0001. required for the altera-
tions in Buckingham Palace would be saved to the
country ; and, secondly, the palace, which would
then no longer be required for her MAJESTY'S use,
might be appropriated to public purposes.
We confess that we are strongly of opinion that by
far the wiser course would be at once to decide on an
entirely new building before any money is thrown away
on that which must eventually be abandoned. The
generosity of the people should not be bounded by
the moderation of her MAJESTra She may be satis-
fied with the removal of the inconveniences and ob-
jections at present experienced, and so fully pointed
out in the report of Mr. BLORE ; but the whole
question having been prominently brought forward,
that which is most fitting for the SOVEREIGN
should be decided on. We regret that the
report alluded to by Mr. HUME, and which
was last night asked for (in his absence) by Mr.
BORTHWICK, was not forthcoming. Had it been
found it might have enabled the public to come to a
conclusion on the all-important point of the salubrity
of the situation. We trust that steps will be taken
during the recess to obtain full information on the
subject, and that her MAJESTY'S Ministers may be
prepared early in the ensuing session with such de-
tails as may enable Parliament and the nation to
decide whether it would be most advantageous at
once to erect a new palace, or to proceed with the
repairs and alterations now proposed.

The New Hamburgh Gazette publishes a letter
dated Breslau, Aug. 16, the writer of which says :
"I am able to announce to you, from a source
worthy of credence, that a convention has been en-
tered into between Austria and Prussia, in virtue of
which these two powers bind themselves to take care
that Germany be not in any way affected in its rights
on the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The
presence of the King of PRUSSIA at Konigswartz has
decided the question."
The Voss Gazette contains an answer from Sir R.
PEEL to the address transmitted to him, a short time
back, from the town of Elbing. The Right Hon.
Baronet expresses his satisfaction at the approbation
with which his late measures had inspired the signers
of the address, and enters into a short explanation of
the motives which had prompted him to adopt the
course of conduct thus approved of.

Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived.

The Ministers of State and all the high function-
aries of the Court and of the capital have waited upon
Don FRANCISCO D'Assls, to offer him their congra-
tulations. The Clamor Publico states that the question
of the marriage of Don FRANCISCO with the QUEEN
had been discussed at a Cabinet Council held the day
after the Prince's arrival, and it adds, " there are
some persons who state that the marriage has been
decided on, and is to take place immediately."
The differences with Portugal are, it is said, settled,
and the military cordon has had orders to remove.
MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 19.—The Three per Cents.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Opposition journals are endeavouring again to
raise a war-cry against England on the subject of
Otaheite• The recent elections have, however, so
completely shown the utter powerlessness of these
firebrand writers, that we entertain no serious alarms
as to the effect which these articles may produce on
public opinion in France.
The Courrier Francais thus comments on the
affairs of Otaheite

"We publish an article from the Portefeuille, which
we entreat M. Guizot to contradict as soon as posible.
If he remain silent—if he be obliged to admit that the
diplomatic reviewer has spoken the truth—we cannot
find expressions sufficiently strong to stigmatise the
shameful conduct which the Minister for Foreign
Affairs has held with regard to England on the question
of Otaheite. We should first of all observe that the
review informs us that the question is finally arranged.
M. Guizot opened in London negotiations which have
ended in a magnificent result—viz., that the French pro-
tectorate is to be maintained in a part of the archipelago;
as to the other islands, Huahine, Bora-Bora, Ragateia,
and Maupiti, they are decidedly not included in
this protectorate; they were restored to the sovereignty
of Queen Pomare, or in a word delivered over to the ab-
.olute dominion of England, in whose hands, as is well
known, Pomare is but a mere instrument. The conven-
tion adds, indeed, that these islands cannot be given up
to any European power. But this is an impudent
mockery. Whom is it necessary that we inform at the
present day that Queen Pemare wishes not to shake off,
and that she cannot shake off, the yoke of the English?
if unfortunately this convention exists—and the Porte-
feuille positively asserts such to be the case—if it should
have received the signature of M. Guizot, we should
henceforth be surprised at nothing that emanated from
such a man, or feel astonished if he were again to ask,
in the name of another Pritchard, an indemnity for the
trouble which might have been taken in spilling the blood
of French soldiers!"

The Constitutionnel follows in a much milder strain,
endeavouring merely to turn the events in Otaheite
to account as a weapon to be used against the Minis-
try. "In a word," says the Constitutionnel, "it is
evident that we are held in check in Yapeiti by the
insurgent natives. It is somewhat remarkable that
their revolt broke out a short time after the arrival of
the English forces sent to that coast, under the orders
of Admiral SEYMOUR, to pacify the country. It is,
moreover, said that the Ministry finds itself in great
embarrassment on the subject of Otaheite. The new
Governor demands considerable reinforcements, in
order that he may not be subjected to the same checks
which his predecessor had experienced. Will the
Chamber sanction the sending of fresh forces, and
the expense which it will entail ? Will it permit a
fresh sacrifice of men and money for this ridiculous
conquest ? Those are the awkward questions which
it appears the Ministry cannot solve."
The Ministerial journal, the Epoque, thus com-
ments on the articles which have appeared in the
Opposition papers on this subject:—
"Several of the Opposition journals are making ob-
servations on a hostile collision which has taken place
between our troops at Otaheite and the inhabitants of the
island of Iluahine. However much the loss we experi-
enced in the affair is to be regretted, it must
not be thence inferred that our influence in the
Society Islands has been in the slightest degree
affected by it. On the contrary, the French and Eng-
lish Governments were never better agreed on a ques-
tion which may be henceforth regarded as completely
settled. There is no doubt that disorders and conflicts
will still disturb our new establishment ; the natives, at
first badly advised, will not without difficulty return' to
feelings of friendship ; and with perseverance, and par-
ticularly by adopting a new line of policy, at once ener-
getic and conciliatory, all these differences, which have
only arisen from casual misunderstanding, will com-
pletely cease. The prudence with which Commandant
Bruat conducts himself, and the anxiety which he
evinces to avoid all effusion of blood, when it appears
to him unnecessary for the consolidation of our pro-
tectorate, is to us a new guarantee of the realisation of
our hopes."

The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 21st inst. con-
tains the following letter, dated Tunis, the sth :
" England has been long intriguing hero to destroy
the good understanding existing between the Bey of our
Regercy and the French Government, but hitherto her
endeavours have not availed. She does not, however,
give up all hope. Her representative, Sir Thomas
Reade, bad, a few days ago, a conference with
the Bey, at which he warmly complained of
the non-execution of the treaties, and of the al-
leged- ill-treatment of the Maltese by the agents
of Ben Ayet, and ultimately demanded the dismissal and
punishment of a relative of Ben Ayet, the Caid of the
markets. He, however, left the palace of the Bey
without obtaining any satisfaction. It appears—and we
consider it more probable—that the ill-humour shown
on that occasion by Sir Thomas Beade was caused by
theindifference with which Ahmet Bey viewed an incur-
sion, lately executed on his territory, in the interest of
peace, by General Bandon, commander of the sub-divi-
sion of Bona. The English Consul-General had greatly
dwelt on that affair, which is of no importance."
The Arab chief of the Traras, who is accused of

having enticed Colonel, MONTAGNAC into the ambush )
at Sidi Brahim, has surrendered himself, declaring
his innocence, and demanding a trial.

On Monday the Marquis of NoßmAzinv presented
to the KING of the FRENCII his credentials as Ambas-
sador from her Britannic Majesty.
The Paris Bourse was on Monday more flat than
could possibly have been expected from the satisfac-
tory state of affairs in France and throughout the
world, with the sole exception of the lamentable re-
turn of the potato disease generally in Ireland, and
partially on the continent. The Five per Cents. de-
clined because of the increasing belief that that stock
would be reduced (converted) by the new Chamber.
The Three per Cents. suffered from large sales made
in anticipation of the liquidation. "Northern shares
fell because of various rumours to which the company
disdained to reply" (as we are assured). " The
shares of other companies suffered, through sympathy
it may be said; but the truth is, that the dulness of
the market was solely owing to the absence of specu-
lators, the great majority of whom had left town to
enjoy the shooting season, or for the various watering
places."

The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse
at 83f. 70c. ; the Five per Cents., 121 f. 75c. ; the
Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,275 f. ; Rouen, 960 n ; avre,
700 f. ; Great Northern, 708 f. 75c.; Avignon, 910 E; Vierzor,

nounce, from authority, that by a letter just received
from Berwick, the whole of the property stolen from

had been discovered secreted on the premises.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY
COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.)
The first general meeting of the shareholders in the
above undertaking was held this afternoon, at the
Euston- square Station of the London and Birmingham
Railway; Sir Harry Verney, Chairman of the Board of
Directors, in the chair.
The report stated that the company went to Parlia-
ment for three lines, namely, a line from Banbury to
Tring, a line in continuation of the first, from Ayles-
bury to Harrow, and a line from Oxford to Bletchley.
The first, and a portion of the last had been granted by
Parliament. The receipts of the Company amounted to
169,8081. 7s. Bd., and the expenditure to 16,1591. 7s. 4d.
The report having been adopted,
The Cii.e.in3rAN stated, in answer to a question, that
the two lines together exceeded rather more than forty
miles, and active measures were now being taken for their
completion. They would probably be opened next
year.—(Hear, hear.)
The usual routine business of a first ordinary meet-
ing was gone through, namely, the appointment of
directors, auditors, and a secretary, and the meeting ter-
minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and
directors.

WORCESTER, TENBURY, AND
LUDLOW RAILWAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.

This was a meeting held under the Railway Dissolu-
tion Act, and there was a very large attendance of the
proprietary. William Richardson, Esq., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that the present Company had
an agreement with the Great Western Company, whereby
that company had agreed to amalgamate with them, and
pay them 5,0001. towards their expenses in making the
line, and to place a considerable number of their shares
at :their disposal. But the Great Western had with.
drawn their Bill for making the Porthdynllaen
line, and, consequently the agreement between
the two companies would remain in abeyance.
Under these circumstances he would not recommend the
shareholders to dissolve the company, but to keep it
alive, so that if the Great Western Company should at a
future period determine to proceed, the Worcester
Company could take advantage of the agree-
ment which had been entered into between them.
In consequence of a discovery which was made 3 ester-
day, that a fraud had been committed respecting the
funds of the company, the directors were not willing
to declare a dividend in the shape of return upon the
deposit. Had not this occurred, they would have been
enabled to have returned gas. per share. They did not wish
to allude further to this subject, as it might injure the
steps which the directors felt it their duty to take. The
directors would, therefore, recommend an adjournment
for a week, that the funds should be returned, and that
the Company should be kept alive.
The following gentlemen were then appointed as
scrutineers:—Mr. George Lawrence, Mr. Henry Holt,
and Mr. Thomas Smith.

The polling then commenced, in order to ascertain
whether there was a sufficient quantity of shares in at-
tendance to constitute a legal meeting,
A committee of shareholders to aid the directors was
then appointed, and the meeting was adjourned until
this day week, the number of shares present not being
sufficient. _ _

to be held this day, did not take place according to an-
nouncement.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLnoYD).
IN RE ISI`LEAN.

In this case his Honour gave judgment on the applica-
tion made yesterday for an extension of the time for the
surrender of this bankrupt, on the ground of his absence
from England in consequence of ill health.

His HONOUR said, that on perusing the affidavit of Dr.
Thompson, Mr. M‘Lean's medical adviser, it appeared quite
clear that he had advised the bankrupt to go to Italy for
the summer and to Madeira for the winter, as he was la-
bouring under symptoms of incipient consumption. Under
those circumstances, the Court was fully justified in extend-
ing the time for surrender, and he would grant an order for
forty-nine days, being the full extent of time. If, how-
ever, it was necessary to make an application, additional
affidavits must be put in, showing the state of the bank-
rupt's health at the time, and of his inability to come to
England.
Tho order was subsequently drawn up, the Learned
Commissioner intimating that any application for an
extension of time must be made six days before the ex-
piration of the present order.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

_NEW COURT:

(Before the RECORDER, Alderman FAREBROTIIER, &C.)
A boy, named Augustus Thipps, was indicted for
stealing some clothes and 7s. 6d., and S. Wichelow with
receiving the same, the property of H. Bligh.
From the statement of the prosecutor, it appeared that
on Saturday, the 25th ult., he was walking with the pri
soners and some of their acquaintances, and being joined
by a boy and a girl they went towards Leicester-square,
where they went into a public-house. After leaving the
public-house he felt very giddy, and then discovered that
he had lost the clothes and money in questicn. From
information he had received he had the two prisoners
arrested. Phipps was first taken and confessed to having
committed the robbery, and offered the prosecutor is.
if he would say nothing about the matter, which he (the
prosecutor) refused.
The parties who had joined the prosecutor and the
prisoners were examined, and stated that they were
aware of the prisoner's intention to commit the robbery
some weeks before, and that they had shared in the
plunder.
The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to
six months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
Mary Coster was indicted for stealing some blankets
and sheets from the dwelling-house of Mr. Charles
Butcher, by whom she had been employed as char-
woman.

.. —...
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to three
months' imprisonment.

BONT-STREET._(THIS DAY.)
A man of gentlemanly appearance and manners was
charged by policeman F 116 with assaulting him.
The policeman said that he was on duty last night in
one of the lanes which lead from the Strand to the bank
of the river, and saw the prisoner, with a woman of bad
character, sitting at the top of the steps. Suspecting
that they went there for an unlawful purpose. he ap-
proached them, when the prisoner called out to him,
" What do you want ? Go away, policeman." And on
his still advancing, rose and attacked him with a cane,
which the witness now produced.
The prisoner thought the policeman must have
exaggerated, though not wilfully, as he could not believe
that under any circumstances he could make use of such
language as was ascribed to him. But, however, he was
at the time so drunk that he could not remember what
had occurred.
Mr. JARDINE said that the assault on the policeman
was not a very severe one,
but still the police and the
public must be protected. lle would fine the prisoner
51., or sentence him to one month's imprisonment.
The prisoner said that in that case he must go to pri.
son; for although he was a person of respectability, he
could prove that he had not the means of obtaining 5/.,
being in fact very poor. The sentence was very severe,
and he hoped the Magistrate would commute it.
Mr. JARDINE said he would consider the matter and
make somo inquiries. In the meantime the prisoner
was put buek. In about an hour ho was brought in, and

Mr. JARDINE said--I have made some inquiries about
you, and I learn that you are not able to pay the fine.
I thought at first that you were a person who could
affurd it. If I were to inflict the full penalty, lam con-
vine-:3 that you cAild only go to prison, and Ido not
think you &serve that. Still I cannot let you go un-
punished, and I must fine you lOs.
The Prisoner—Sir, considering that this was only a
charge of drunkenness, end would be treated as such, I
borrowed ss. this morning from a friend. It is all I
have in the world, but if you will suffer me to go at
large, I will endeavour to get more, and I will pay it all.
Mr. Jardine gave the prisoner a month to pay the
remaining 55., and he left the Court promising to pay
within the time.

Michael Downey, who stands charged with stabbing
John Sullivan, at a public-house in Oxford-street, where
the latter was at work, on Tuesday week, having been
remanded from this day week, was placed at the bar for
final examination this morning.
The evidence given on a former occasion was repeated,
and tsken down in the form of depositions.
Sullivan himself was in at tendanco this morning, and
gave the same account of the case as had been given by
the other witnesses. He appeared very weak and thin,
but seemed to be recovering.
Mr. Smith, the house surgeon of King's College
Hospital, gave evidence as to the nature of the wounds.
The witnesses were severally bound over to prosecute,
and the prisoner was committed for trial.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Rhoda Smith, a well-known victimit-Tr of the bene-
volent, who has been several times convicted and twice
tried at the Old Bailey sessions, for obtaining money
under false pretences, was charged before Mr. Maltby,
by Mr. Knevitt, the secretary of the Mendicity Society,
with attempting to obtain money from the Countess of
Lincoln, 19, Whitehall-place, under the false pretence
that she was a widow with five children, one of them a
son, who had died in an infirmary to which he had been
recommended by Lady Lincoln, and that she wished
to raise funds to bury him.
Horsford, the officer of the Mendicity Society, stated
that having occasion to call at No. 19, Whitehall-place,
yesterday, to make some inquiries respecting another
begging letter impostor, he there found the prisoner, of
whom he had been for some time in search. He told
her she was his prisoner, on a charge of obtaining four
pounds and some clothes from a Miss Blanchard, 19,
New Ormond-street. Sic acknowledged that her re-
presentations to that lady Were all false, but that she
had only received 21. 16s. 6d. and some clothes, and not
4/. While he was talking with her the butler came into
the hall with a sovereign for her from Lady Lincoln, in
answer to a'letter, addressed by the prisoner, to Lady
Lincoln, which he (Horsford) prevented her receiving,
by stating that her representations were entirely false.
Elizabeth Hoddle, hdy's maid to the Countess of Lin-
coln, stated that the prisoner brought a letter, which she
delivered to Lady Lincoln, and stated that she had seen
Lady Lincoln a few days since, and that her Ladyship had
given her assistance to get her boy, who was afflicted
with a complaint on the hip, into an infirmary, where
an operation had been performed on him, of which he
died three hours afterwards, and that she was in want of
10s. to bury him, but requested her ladyship to lend her
a sovereign. Believing her tale to be true, her ladyship
gave witness a sovereign for her, which was about being
given to her when the officer interfered and said her
tale was all false.

In answer to Mr. MALTBY, liorsford further stated that
she had confessed that all her representations were false,
and begged both him and Mr. linevitt not to give her
into custody.
The prisoner threw herself upon the mercy of the
Court.

Mr. MALTBY sentenced her to three months' impri-
sonment in the House of Correction, and the conviction
to be returned. _ _ _ _

Mary Ann Macon was charged by Horsford with at-
tempting to obtain money from Lady Lincoln under the
mpresentation that she was born at Retford, near the
Earl of Lincoln's seat, and married to a man named
Healing, a tenant of his Lordship.
These representations Horsford proved to be false, and
she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment.

MONEY and CO3IMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

• There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday. Sales 5,000 bales, including 2,000 American
for export. Previous rates were obtained. Shares
were not brisk, but realised about previous rates.
According to advices received from the Continent, the
Government at St. Peters burgh have just concluded
a treaty of commerce with Turkey, which is ap-
parently more favourable even than the last. Among
the stipulations we find that the duty in Turkey upon im-
ports from Russia is to be 3 percent., and foreign produce,
consigned in Russian vessels, is to be similarly favoured:
goods exported from Turkey by Russian merchants are
io be relieved of various internal dues, and to pay in-
stead a fixed impost of 9 per cent. For ail these
and other advantages the liberal Cabinet of the
Emperor Alexande r does not accord entire reci-
procity, because that is against the law of the realm,
but graciously allows Turkey to Trade with Russia on
the same footing of the most favoured nations ! The
treaty is for ten years.

Tile very gratifying information reached the City this
morning, that the whole of the property stolen from the
Great North of England Bank at Berwick has been
found secreted on the premises, a fact which it is unne.
cessary at present to comment upon.
Money in the City is worth about 31 to 31 per cent.
on first-rate security. Last year, about this time, it
was as low as 21 to 24.
There is very little doing i❑ the Public Securities, and
prices are without alteration. Consols 95i I- ; New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 971- to 98*; and the
Three per Cents., 96 to 968. Bank Stock has been firm

premium.

The F oreign Investments have not been much dealt
in, but Portuguese are somewhat lively, at 41i to 42i.
Mexican have a slight tendency to advance again,
being 23i to 2411; Spanish Three per Cents. are 364.
In the Share Market there is but little doing, but the
previous values are generally maintained.

send for any other surgeon, but whilst she was
for Mr. Crellin the child died. The medicine o.llcut
Mr. Crellin prescribed for the child was given to it,
when she•. gave it three teaspoonfuls,
slept nearly the whole of the day; she therefore red full
the quantity to one, and sometimes two teaspoon of
per diem. No other medicine, except a teaspenni",r
castor•oil, was given to deceased after Mr. Crain pr
