ENDEAVOURING TO EXTORT MONEY FROM 110,,* oaecl
THEROE, M.P.—A smartly-dressed young ma°, - wo°
James IVcwbery, aged 24, described as a grooni'mle
charged with sending letters to Mr. Protheroe, "with
threatening to charge him with a horrible crime'
the view of thereby extorting money from him. 004
Mr. BODKIN stated the case to the jury, and in' 00'
such threats as most dangerous, and unless e°l33Tb
surately punished, as likely to undermine sceie„,,tY,:ce-4°
law awarded a high punishment for such an °ye" cabl.
high that, from the pertinacity which the prisouert 100
bited in his threats, it was possible he Might 10
been in ignorance of the serious putislo2- 31';
which he was rendering himself amenable.. so°

A respectable young woman attended to solicit Mr.
Seeker's aflvice, under the following circumstances:—
The applicant stated, that during the fog that prevailed
over the metropolis the preceding night an infant, about
twelve months old, was left at her street-door. On
taking it into the house she at once observed that it
was an illegitimate child, the offspring of a man and
woman whom she well knew, but who had deserted it,
and left it exposed to the inclemency of the weather.
Not knowing where the unnatural parents were to be
found, she took the child to the workhouse, related the
circumstances under which she found it, but they
peremptorily refused it shelter, and she was, therefore,
compelled to take it home, although she was the mother
of a large family herself, and could ill afford to have
such an addition to her daily expenses.
Mr. SECKER said that even if the father of the child
refused to shelter it he was justified if it was illegitimate
and had not been sworn to him. The applicant, there-
fore, must again take the infant to the workhouse,
describe that she had been at this Court on the matter,
and they must take it in, and afterwards use every
exertion is discover the mother, who had shown such
utter want of maternal feelings.

The applicant, having thanked the magistrate, then
withdrew.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.

John Shepherd, newsvender, liing;street, Drury-lane,
was placed at the bar charged with getting money under
false pretences, and being drunk.
Inspector Plume, of the C division, said the defendant
was charged at the station last night, about eight o'clock,
by two gentlemen, with obtaining money from them
under the following circumstances :—They said he was
parading St. James's-square, calling out " Here's the
second edition of the Standard, containing the latest
news, and particulars of the death of Louis Phillippe."
They were taken by the news, and bought each a copy
of the aforesaid journal, at a shilling a piece ; but after
ransacking its columns, they found that they had been
duped, for no such intelligence could be seen in print.
The inspector said the two gentlemen were not in at-
tendance this morning, but the defendant when brought
to the station was very drunk.

Mr. HARDWICK—What have you to say for thus
abusing the public faith ?
The defendant said, it occurred all through ignorance.
He went to inquire if they had a second edition of the
papi,r, and the publisher said he had, and that too con-
taining the death of Louis Philippe. The defendant
said he took it on the faith of the publisher. He could
not read himself, and consequently fell into this blunder.
Mr. HARDwicK—You must pay ss. for being drunk.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Jackson, the driver and proprietor of a chaise-
cart, who was remanded from Saturday last, upon the
charge of violently assaulting Mr. William Brandon,
was brought up for final examination.
Mr. Brandon, who is 'verging upon 70 years of age,
and whose face and eyes still bore severe marks of the
ill- treatment he had received, said that on Friday after-
noon, about six o'clock, he was proceeding along Mon-
tague-street, and having gained the end of it, was about
to cross the road ; but seeing the defendant's horse and
cart coming towards the spot, he remained upon the
pavement. The prisoner, however, who was driving the
horse and cart, on passing witness, rose up in his seat,
and gave witness such a cut across the fact with his whip
as to knock him down. Two other persons were in the
cart with the prisoner.
Police-constable 48 H deposed that he was on duty
in Brick-lane at the time of the assault, and witnessed
the whole transaction. As soon as the prisoner had com-
mitted the assault, he whipped the horse into a gallop,
and attempted to effect his escape. He (witness), how-
ever, succeeded in at curing him.
Mr. Howson, shopkeeper, of No. 22, Spital-street,
Mile-end-road, proved that he had also on that day been
violently struck with a whip by the prisoner.
To a question from Mr. 13RouoLtTorr, the prisoner
said he knew nothing whatever of the charges which had
been made against him. lie had on that day been drink-
ing rather freely.
Mr. BaouctiTow, having consulted with Mr. Brandon
as to the propriety of sending the case before a jury, or
whether it should be dealt with summarily, and Mr.
Brandon stating that he had no vindictive feeling to-
wards the prisoner, and would therefore leave the case
in the magistrate's hands, Mr. Broughton, in addressing
the prisoner, said that a more unprovoked and cowardly
assault bad perhaps never before been brought under his
notice. He should convict him in the penalty of 5/. to
the Queen, or two months' imprisonment, for the assault
upon Mr. Brandon, and at the expiration of that time
205., or one month's imprisonment, for the assault on
Mr. Howson.

So thick a mist hung over the course during the whole of
the day, that it was doubtful, at one time, if the jockeys
would be able to find their way home, or the judge
to distinguish their colours. Nothing was discern-
able at a distance of fifty yards ; and it is miraculous
that the D.I. and feather weight Plates weres brought to an
issue without a casualty. Of course, we were in the same
difficulty as on Monday. It was quite is npossible to time
any of the races. The sport, notwithstrinding, was ex-
cellent, and the attendance very numerou. s. The settling
for the Cambridgeshire commenced in th.e morning, but
owing to the early hour at which the first race was fixed,
and the unaccountable liberality of the manager of the
Church and Coffee-room clocks (by which ti m races are run),
in keeping them 22 minutes in advance of the London time,
was not half finished; the accounts were h envy, but money
appeared to be " easy."

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand
Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, left Kew yesterday
to honour the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury
with a visit, at their seat Tottenha.m-park, Marlborough.
The Right Hon. Sir George Grey arrived in town
yesterday evening, from his seat Fallodon, Alnwick,
Northumberland.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has arrived in town
from Hickleton Hall, Doncaster.
Lady Mary and the Hon. Mr. Abercromby arrived at
Farrance's Hotel, Upper Belgrave-street, yesterday, from
Scotland.

The Lords of the Judicial Committee of her Majesty's
Most Honourable Privy Council sat yesterday in the
Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were
the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, Lord
Campbell, the Vice• Chancellor of England, and the
Judge of the Admiralty Court.
Mr. Turner, Queen's Counsel, was heard on a petition
of Henry Davidson, William Davidson, and Henry
Berkley, Esquires,:praying the re-instatement of their
appeal against Maria Fraser, executrix of Simon Fraser,
deceased, from a sentence of the Supreme Court of Civil
Justice of British Guiana, on' the grounds that the same
has been erroneously dismissed. Their Lordships
granted the application.
The Court then rose.

In order, therefore, that the merits of the plan should
be fairly placed before the public, it should be stated,
as.was shown in the court, that the line respecting
which it was proposed to give the notices necessary for
an application 'to Parliament in the ensuing. session,
is only such part of a much more extensive plan
as there was time to prepare the requisite estimates
for.
The entire plan, which was exhibited and explained in
the court, will show bow groundless is the surmise
that " Ludgate-hill and the Poultry are to be as
crowded as ever, but there is to be relief for Budge-
row." On the contrary, both Ludgate-hill and the
Poultry will be relieved by large collateral thorough-
fares, which will receive a full share of the traffic with
which they are now overcharged. The very line almost
which you propose, " from Blackfriars-bridge," not in-
deed "to St. Paul's," but close to it, and so north-east-
wards to the Exchange, &c., is a part of the plan, with
a view to relieve Ludgate-hill, Cheapside, and the Poul-
try, and to give you, Sir, an easy run from Printing-
house-square to the Bank. As an accessory to this line
will be the street continuing Tudor-street, opposite Earl-
street, Blackfriars, to the gate of the Temple in King's
Bench-walk, and which, in connexion with the other
portions of the line, will considerably relieve Fleet-
street.

This north-east line will cross diagonally the direct
east and west line from the top of King William-street,
along Cannon-street, to the south side of St. Paul's
Churchyard and it is for a portion of this line that ap-
plication to Parliament is at present to be made. Can-
non-street, St. Thomas Apostle, and Budge-row may be
to many, as you term them, "places nearly unknown,
except by name," but if they lie in the direction alone'
which the most serviceable large thoroughfare can be
made, the obscurity imputed to them can be no objec-
tion; it is not for their own sake that they are to be cut
through. Let any one reflect on the number of vehicles
passing from Ludgate-hill into Cheapside, already filled
with those from Holborn and Aldersgate- street, and say
if, when on the south side of St. Paul's Churchyard, they
were enabled to go straight eastwards, or north-east-
wards, by the proposed new principal thoroughfares,
would it not be a very effectual relief to Cheapside and
the Poultry?
I believe it was some time since recommended in the.
Times that whatever was done should be a part of a
large, effectual, and well-considered whole. This is what
the part now to be applied for professes to be. One ex-
pression in the article of Saturday may perhaps cause
misapprehension, where you say, " the enormous sums
that must be asked for." No sum is to be asked ior;—
the means are to be provided from the City's revenues.
As to the lateness of the time, there may be offered in
excuse, the great labour of preparing the plans and the.
estimates of the property to be taker), for this as well as
for other improvements nct at present adopted; and in
consequence of the new standing orders relative to Bills
for public improvements, by which it is required that
the notices shall be given a month earlier than hereto-
fore.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,

" The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
having had under their consideration the following do-
cuments, viz., a letter from Mr. B. Gomez Farias, dated
the 15th inst., and a letter from Mr. Murphy, the Mex
ican Minister at this Court, to the chairman of this Com-
mittee, dated the 19th inst., have come to the following
conclusion:—

" 1. That Mr. Murphy, in the arrangement made
with the holders of Mexican Bonds on the 4th of June
last, has in no respect exceeded the powers vested in
him for that purpose by the Mexican Government.
" 2. That the amount of the Mexican debt is pre
cisely that which the Government authorised to be
created.

" 3. That the amount of interest annually payable on
the debt is precisely the same as that authorised by the
Government.
"4. That the securities assigned for the payment of
the interest and redemption fund are precisely the same
as those authorised by the Government.
5. That the only variation between the letter of Mr.
Murphy's instructions from his Government and his acts
consists in this, that whereas the Government had pro-
posed a certain amount of concession to be made by the
holders of Deferred Bonds and Debentures, the bond-
holders themselves considered it more equitable that this
concession should be borne between the holders of all
classes of Mexican stock, viz , Active, Deferred, and De-
bentures, whereby the whole of the debt and the whole
of the securities were consolidated into one stock.

FRIDAY.

" 6. That this arrangement did not increase the re-
sponsibility of the Mexican Government to the extent of
a single dollar.

" f. That Mr. Murphy was authorised to make this
variation is evident from the following extract from the
instructions of his Government :

" ' His Excellency the President ad interim of the
Republic, aware that the conversion is highly important
to the Republic, because, besides diminishing the debt,
the public credit abroad will be raised, has instructed
me to state to your Excellency that he expects from
your activity and zeal that you will do all in your power
to accomplish the conversion on the stipulated basis, re-
moving whatever difficulty may present itself, for which
purpose you are most fully authorised.'
" 8. That it appears to the Committee that with such
instructions in his possession (independently of his hold-
ing the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court)
Mmh ahvi es

do what he has done. . .

Nal, WV MeV aa,
9. That these proceedings were all concurred in by
Don Guillermo O'Brien, of Paris, the Commissioner
specially appointed by the Mexican Government to act
with Mr. Murphy in carrying the same into effect, as is
signified by his signature to the bonds.
" 10. That on perusing the letter of Don Valentin
Gomez Farias, of the 28th of August, from Mexico, to
Mr. Murphy, directing the repudiation of Mr.
Murphy's proceedings, it is evident that the writer
has not understood what those proceedings have been.
They are wholly misstated as to matters of fact, and as
to the results arising therefrom.
" 11. That it is the less surprising that the Govern-
ment should not have accurately comprehended the pro-
ceedings in question, seeing that the new Ministers were
only appointed on the 28th of August, and the aforesaid
letter of Don V. G. Ferias is dated on the same day.
" 12. That the proceedings of the previous Govern-
ment were founded on an act of the National Congress,
dated the 28th of April, 1845, and are in all respects
binding on the Mexican nation.
" 13. That the validity of these proceedings cannot
be affected by any subsequent change in the parties ad-
ministering the government of Mexico.
" 14. That for the foregoing reasons the repudiation
of Mr. Murphy's acts by the existing Government of
Mexico is neither borne out by the facts of the case, nor
capable of being maintained on any principle of law,
justice, equity, or public faith.
" Resolved,—That a copy of this declaration be trans-
mitted to the Right Honourable Viscount Palmerston,
soliciting his Lordship to forward the same to her Ma-
jesty's Minister Plenipotentiary in Mexico, in order that
such representations may be made thereon to the Mexi-
can Government as may lead to the entire confirmation
of Mr. Murphy's acts in this matter.
" G. R. ROBINSON, Chairman.
" London, Oct. 27, 1846."

DRAT. OF SIR HENRY FETHERSTONHAUGH, BART.
—This, the oldest baronet in the empire, expired on the
26th instant, at his seat, Upearle, Sussex, at the advanced
age of 92 years, during 72 of which he enjoyed the title.
He was born in the year 1754, being the son of the first
baronet, who received the honour in 1747, b) the only
daughter of C. Lethieulliere, Esq., of Belmont, Middlesex.
He married in 1825, being then far advanced in life,
Miss Mary Anne Bullock, of Orton, but does not leave
any issue. The deceased possessed estates in the coun-
ties of Sussex (of which he was a deputy-lieutenant),
Essex, and Northumberland; his residence in the latter
was known as Fetherstonhaugh Castle. This family is
of Saxon origin, and was settled at the latter mentioned
place before the Conquest; that part of the country
having been allotted to its progenitor, a Saxon officer,
for his gallant conduct when opposed to the Ancient
Britons. The curious sirname of the family may, no
doubt, have excited the reader's curiosity. It appears
that the house first inhabited by the original possessor
of the lands in Northumberland who built upon two
stones known as fetherstones, and that on the same being
destroyed, during a conflict with the Scots, another was
built in a valley or haugh, as it was termed, and hence
the word Fetherstonhaugh. Branches of this family
settled in Ireland at an early period, and there obtained
large possessions.
DEATH OF LADY COLQUHOUN, or Luss.— This
lady expired on the 21st instant, at Rosselen, the resi-
dence of her husband, Sir James Colquhoun, in the
county of Dumbarton. She was the daughter of Sir
Robert Abercromby, Bart., of Fouglen, chief of the clan
of Abercromby, and was married, in 1843, to Sir James
Colquhoun, chief of the clan of Lass, and an extensive
proprietor of property in the Church of Scotland.
A FAMILY OF MUTES.—There is a singular family
of mutes in Jeantown, Lochcurron. They are orphans,
seven lads and two girls, all deal and dumb, and yet the
most industrious people in the village. Strange to say,
three of them have adopted a seafaring life, and have a
boat and nets, in which they sail by themselves in pur-
suit of herrings round the whole coast. During the day
the helmsman directs the others by signs, and at night
he carries stones in his pocket which he throws at them;
one intimates a desire to stand by the halyards, and two
to reef.
NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—It is understood that
Mr. Hudson has taken the present opportunity to make
an offer to the directors to lease the line in perpetuity,
aeceptinw it in its present condition, and to guarantee the
shareholders 7i per cent. The otter, however, it is said,
has for the present been declined.— tm Berek Lo cadet.
