Lc)NI)4)N, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1848.

Among the orders of the day for this evening the
foremost is the Jewish Disabilities Bill, which will
be introduced for a second reading. Parliament, in-
stead of directing its energies exclusively to what
the Hon. Representative of Buckinghamshire calls, in
a spirit of exquisite gaucherie, " the rapacity of rival
industry and the quackery of economic science," will
again hive its intelligence concentrated upon the
political depcessicin of the Israelites. A nobler theme
for discussion could not by possibility present itself

TriE

to exercige its fascination over the lips of an orator
and over the imaginations of a senate. So much,
however, of a practical character remains to be ac-
complished by the Lords and Commons before the
advent of the Easter vacation, that we are solicitous
to see little more recorded in the journals of
the House in reference to the second and
third reading of this Bill than the division list
and maybe a catalogue of petitions.: Honourable
Gentlemen must abstain from any unnecessary in-
dulgence of their rhetorical abilities ; they must be
contented to conceal the accumulated light of their
historic lore under the bushel of their modesty ; they
must emulate the majestic silence observed upon great
occasions by the Patres Conscripti. Before Christ-
mas we had enough of debating upon the moral effi-
cacy of the measure brought under the consideration
of the Legislature by the Noble Premier. Without
exhausting the theme—for the theme, from its many
august and memorable associations, is altogether in-
exhaustable—the popular representatives lavished
upon it all the fervour of an eloquence that arose
spontaneously, and all the industry of a research tem-
pered by tolerance, and yet illumined by enthusiasm.
In the speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself we
were reminded of the days when his mind was in all
the freshness of its adolescence, when he laid the
foundation of his fame as a Liberal statesman by his
advocacy of the repeal of the Acts.of Test and Corpora
tion. In the passionate remarks of Mr. DISRAELI it
was equally impossible to forget the dreamy grace
of Tancred, or the scholastic tartness of Sidonia.
The same reverence which fed the midnight lamp of
the author of " Sybil," made his heart vocal in the
Lower House at Westminster. Even among the
opposers of the project of the Prime Minister there
was a consistency which commanded respect ; it was
the resumption in 1847 of the same policy which
had actuated Sir ROBERT Imam in 1830.
It was the transposition of the sentiments of SHYLOCX
to the mouth of a Christian legislator—l will walk
with you, and talk with you, and eat with you, but I
will not vote with you, or pray with you, or sit cheek-
by-jowl with you! Those were virtually the words
muttered by the Hon. and Learned Member for the
University of Oxford as be looked askance towards
the entrance doors of the Commons, and imagined
to himself the comely figure of the Baron LIONEL
DE ROTIISCEILD lurking in the lobbies, and loitering
on the very threshhold of the Chamber, for
that opportunity which should enable him to
burst into the conclave of Christians (both
orthodox and heterodox), of Deists, and Indifferen-
tists, and Dissenters, and Papists, and Freethinkers.
The language is so precisely what might have been
articulated by Sir R. H. INGLIS, that the paraphrase of
SHAKSPERE is at the service of Mr. WALTER SAVAGE
LANDOR, supposing he should recreate his ripened
powers by penning a supplement to his " Imaginary
Conversations.'' On both sides sufficient has been
said in all conscience. Not the least important addi-
tions, indeed, to the voluminous records of Hansard,
have been the peges dedicated to discussions
upon the civil disabilities of those Englishmen
who worship JEHOVAH in the synagogue, and
feed upon the unleavened cakes of the Passover. The
project for their political emancipation is not, in fact, a
day-dream of yesterday. It is not as though the Prime
Minister had suddenly declared himself the champion
of the Jews of the United Kingdom, for the purpose
of concealing the faults of his Administration under
the blaze of an erroneous and ephemeral popularity.
The false position of the Hebrew race in this country
of civil and religious liberty, has long been pro-
nounced an anomaly by men competent to decide
upon questions of a politico •religious character. As
far back as the 45th of April, 1830, a Bill of a pre-
cisely similar tendency to the one recently
introduced to the House of Commons was brought
forward by the then Member for Inver-
ness. Subsequently, on the 14th of December,
in the same year, a petition praying for a like act of
leniency and justice was laid by Lord Bexe Er
on the table of the house of Lords. Since then the
matter has been discussed and agitated—inter-
mittently, it is true, but with unflagging earnestness
—though up to the present moment the old barrier
Of bigotry still remains for destruction. The true
course for the Legislature, therefore, is essentially
one of action instead-, of one of deliberation. It
must enable the hands of the tellers to annihilate
that which has flourished in spite of the
assaults of logic and declamation. It must
give to Lord jolts RUSSELL the glory which
it has hitherto denied to the most distin-
guished statesmen of modern times; to Mr. lII'S-
KISSON, to Sir STRATFORD CANNING, to Lord
STANLEY, to Mr. SPRING RICE, to Mr. ALEXANDER
BARING (now Lord ASHBURTON), to Lord MEL-
BOURNE, tO Lord DURHAM, to Lord CAMPBELL, tO
his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, to the Duke
of NORFOLK, to the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, to the
Duke of MANCHESTER, and to the Duke of GaarroN,
all of whom expressed themselves favourably either
in 1830, in 1833, or in 183 G, to the removal of these
incongruous obstructions. Drop by drop has
fallen the basement of the old colossus
of intolerance has been sapped—it his long tottered
to its foundations-1848 must inevitably witness its
downfal. With the admission of the Jews to Par-
liament, the Commons, the Lords, and the QUEEN
must decree the erasure of the brutal penal enact-
ments against the Roman Catholics. Then, and not
till then, our national boast of civil and religious
toleration will be truthful and glorious.

The proceedings under the Special Commission
have closed for the present. The sittings in each of
the towns have been nominally adjourned, but as the
Spring Assizes are now so close at hand, it is more
than probable that the remaining cases will be suffered
to await the ordinary tin eof trial. We have already
given a brief summary of the results at Limerick
and Ennis ; we shall now shortly state the more im-
portant cases that have been brought before the Court
at Clonmel.

There have been five capital convictions in Tippe-
rary. The juries in every instance discharged
their important duties honestly awl conscientiously.
The evidence, generally speakiwz, was of the
clearest and most satisfactory character, leaving
no doubt whatever of the guilt of the parties charged
with the offences. In one case only was there an ac-
quittal, that of a man named ROUGIIAN, who was in-
dicted for being concerned in the late murderous attack
upon 'Air. BAILEY. The Lord Chief Justice con-
sidered that, as: the principal witness, GARRAGIIAN,
had consented, a fortnight before, to join in the at-
tack, and had a continuing intention to shoot Mr.
BAILBY, his evidence should be regarded as that of a
party to the transaction, and therefore, according to
the humane rule of law, which held that no person
should be convicted on the testimony of an accom-
plice unless corroborated, not merely as to the parti-
culars of the story, -but even as to the person charged
with the offence, could not alone be sufficient to warrant
the condemnation of the prisoner. It was not, there.
fore, from any disposition on the part of the jury to
screen an offerder from the consequences of his
crime that the verdict in this case was owing. DALY,
the other party who was tried for the same offence,
the person who instigated his companions in crime to
the commission of the outrage, in revenge for having
been sued by the intended victim, was found guilty,
and is to suffer the extreme penalty of the law for his
participation therein. ROUGHAN has not been dis-
charged from custody, but is to be tried for the con-
spiracy to murder, of which, it is said, there is suffi-
cient legal evidence against him.
The
offences were all of the ordinary character,
either arising out of disputes connected with the occu-
pationa y
instrumentalo
f
land,
or from the
putting

w
LONERGAN murdered Mr. Rox, because, after having
shown the greatest indulgence and forbearance, he
took measures to recover back the possession of his
lands, for which the prisoner was unable or un-
willing to pay the stipulated rent. DALY planned
the murder of the gentleman who acted as agent
over the estate on which he resided, because legal
proceedings were instituted to enforce the payment
of the arrears of rent due by him. The COOTS
butchered 'poor MADDEN because he had given in-
formation respecting certain minor offences in Which
his assassins had been concerned; while Coßnuys
thought an humble process• server named GLEESON
worthy of death, for having dared to serve a notice
on his father ; CORBOYS waylaid the wretched man,
and was deaf to his supplications and entreaties
for mercy, and promises to abandon the office he held

SUN, LONDON, MONDAY

and never again to disturb the peace of the district
by serving latitats, or other legal documents. He
was first shot, and subsequently his skull was frac-
tured with the butt-end of the blunderbuss, the con-
tents of which had previously been discharged
at him.

There have been, in addition to the capital cases,
twenty-one other convictions for offences of a minor
character, thirteen persons have been sentenced to
transportation, and eight to various periods of im-
prisonment with hard labour. Of these one man was
for having arms in his possession contrary to the pro-
visions of the Crime and Outrages Act. As he sub-
mitted by pleading guilty, and declared that he was igno-
rant of having violated the law, he was only adjudged to
uffer a fortnight's imprisonment. The same excuse,
however, will not be available in any subsequent
case, and a much heavier punishment will be inflicted
for any breach of the wholesome enactments contained
in that statute.

The whole of the proceedings in the three coun-
ties have fully justified the confidence reposed in the
ordinary tribunals of the country, and the policy
of the Government in departing so slightly from
the spirit of the constitution. Those who are at
all acquainted with the Irish character must know
that any one of the convictions which have taken
place will be more valuable than twenty times the
number if • court martial had pronounced the
verdicts and decreed the sentences. In the latter
case the greatest sympathy would have been felt for
the delinquents ; they would have been regarded as
martyrs. It might, to a certain extent, have terrified
those residing in the several localities; but that would
have been its only beneficial effect—it would have ex-
cited a strong and bitter feeling of revenge and ani-
mosity, and the law would still be supposed powerless to
suppress crime by its own strength. Such feelings
cannot now be entertained. The law against which
they have offended has been vindicated without re-
course being had to any unconstitutional means.
None can deny that every fair play was afforded to
the parties brought to trial ; and, as we have already
seen in ROUGHAN'S case, the rules of law were most
strictly observed when they proved favourable to the
party charged. The confidence which the witnesses
appeared to entertain in the protection that they
would receive from the authorities, was another fea-
ture in the proceedings from which the most bene-
ficial results may be anticipated. The criminals may
now perceive that they have nothing to hope from
the intimidation that has been exercised towards that
class. If then crime is openly committed it will be
brought home to them. The witnesses will speak
the truth fearlessly and unhesitatingly—jurors will
return their verdicts according to the evidence, and,
above all, the small farmers and cottiers, warned by
the fate of WILLIAM FREWEN, will withhold the
shelter and protection, without which the offenders
cannot long hope to evade the pursuit of the police or
to escape the punishment dui to their crimes. All
these things will have a powerful effect, and although
perfect tranquillity may not be at once restored to
Limerick or Tipperary, the principal instruments to
crime will be removed, and an administration of
justice similar to that which we have witnessed with
such pleasure will eventually make these districts as
peaceable as the other parts of the country.

The Patri a, Florence journal, of the 28th ultimo,
announces, on what it deems good authority, that
Sir RALPH AnE*CROMBY, Minister Plenipotentiary
of Great Britain at Turin, communicated to the
Sardinian Minister, Count DE ST. MARSAN, on the
24th, a note addressed by Lord PALMERSTON to the
Cabinet of Vienna, in which his Lordship stated that
an Austrian intervention in Tuscany, in the Roman
dominions, and in the kingdom of the Two Sicilics,
should be regarded by England as a declaration of
war. The King of SARDINIA had ordered two
thousand percussion muskets to be forwarded from
the Royal Arsenal of Turin to Florence.

A letter from Milan of the 26th ult. states that the
Society of Encouragement had been closed by order
of the Government. Count VITALIANO BORROMEO,
being a knight of the Golden Fleece, had hitherto
escaped arrest in virtue of his privilege, but the
Court of Vienna has just authorised the police of
Milan to arrest him. The PODESTA. CASATI having
asked the VICEROY whether ROSALES and the other
individuals transported to Lubiana would be the last
examples of the rigour of Government, the VICEROY
gave him no answer.
The following is from Turin, dated the 26th
ult. :—" The KING has convoked the Extraordinary
Council of State for the loth March, in order that
he may consult it on some financial subjects.
This measure has produced the best effect on
the public mind, and the more so as the manifesto was
accompanied by the nomination of three councillors
whose names are dear to the nation, particularly
those of the Prince DE LA SISTERNA, who in 1821
was condemned to death and burnt in effigy, and Mgr.
DE CALLADIANA, Bishop of Casale, who seconds by
his actions the sublime efforts of Pius IX. and
CHARLES ALBERT for Italian regeneration. The
people of Turin are in general satisfied with the new
law on the press. Our Government watches all the
movements of the Austrians in the Milanese territory.
Austria has an unpopularity with us, which is daily
increasing, and which our Government is not sorry
to keep up. The events in Lombardy and the
news from Naples excite sentiments of the most
lively patriotism, and the Government, with as much
prude49eAs firmness, encourages the popular feeling.
40.1hree contingents which it has *ailed out, and the
two which it has kept on foot, do not amount to less
than from 35,000 to 40,000 men. The artillery also
has been augmented. In several towns the monks
have placed at the disposal of the war department
extensive accommodation as barracks for the troops.
The rigour of the Austrian police at Milan is very
great. The arrests increase in number, and several
respectable citizens have been sent to Spielberg,
where our poor Svnvio PELLico so long languished."
CESARE CANTO, the celebrated historian, just
qscaped from the hands of the Austrian police, arrived
at Turin on the 23d ult.

We learn from Lucerne that the new Government
is seriously engaged in devising means for the pay-
ment of the heavy charges entailed upon the canton
by the civil war, and which are said to amount to
nearly five millions of francs. It is reported that the
authors of the resistance to the Diet will have to
bear a great portion of this burthen, but that, as
their means are not equal to the whole, the re-
mainier will be made up by a general tax on the
inhabitants.

The Federal representatives in the canton of the
Valais have, in a recent report to the Diet, given an
abstract of the new constitution recently adopted by
the inhabitants of that canton. We find in this
report the following remarkable passage :—" This
new constitution shows a real progress on that of
1844, which was the result of a reactionary move-
ment. If it does not establish the free exercise of
the Protestant religion, at least it does not prohibit
it, as was the case with the late constitution." The
Suisse of Berne of the Ist instant, noticing this
report, says :—" It proves a fact which was still
doubted, so monstrous wa.s its character, namely,
that in the canton of the Valais Protestant worship
was absolutely interdicted by the constitution. We
may now judge of the sincerity of the champions of
religious liberty, and above all of the sincerity of M.
DE MONTALEMMERT. Unfortunately the new Go-
vernments only do things by halves. Fanaticism is
so formidable in the Valais and at Lucerne that it
has not been dared to proclaim religious liberty."
A grand funeral mass was celebrated on the Ist in
the Catholic Church of Berne for the victims who
perished at Milan and Pavia, in the recent conflicts
with Austrian soldiers. Most of the Italians resident
at Berne were present at the ceremony.
An auto-dale took place at Friburg on the 31st
ult. The victims, however, were neither Catholics,
Protestants, nor Jews ; but the papers connected with
political prosecution by the late Government in the
early part of last year, and several instruments of
torture, which, it appears, had been retained under
the old system.
Letters from Turin state that a treaty has been
formed between Austria, Parma, and Modena, by.
which Austria binds herself to come, to the assistance
of the other Powers when required to do so, and
they guarantee to her a free passage for her troops
through their territories to any other part of Italy.

Madrid journals of the 30th and 31st of January
have been received.
The Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a royal de-

cree, approving the contract entered into between the
Government and the Bank of San Fernando, in virtue
of which the latter becomes the general cashier of
the Government, receiving all the taxes and contri-
butions, and, in return, engaging itself to place the
whole amount of the budget at the disposal of the
Government in monthly instalments, varying in
amount each month. The total of the budget is
1,283,631,396 reals. In the sitting of the Chamber
of Deputies on the 29th, the debate on the Bill
respecting notaries was brought to a close.
There was a grand reception and a ball at the palace
on the 30th, in honour of the anniversary of the birth
of her Royal Highness the Duchess DE AloNTrEtssiiiil.
Amongst the Generals who were present was the
Duke DE LA VICTORIA, notwithstanding his having
had his audience of leave three or four days previously,
preparatory to his setting out for Logrono.
It is said that ICARVAEZ intends to propose great
reductions in the army.

The ,S'iglo of the 29th ult., under the title of The
Captain grown grey in battle, says :—" We are as-
sured that a few (lays ago the Duke DE RIANZARES,
at an inspection of infantry, presented his son, nine
years of age, to the Inspector, and inscribed his name
on the roll of the regiment as lieutenant, with the
pay of four hundred reels per month. This beard-
less lieutenant had already been invested with the
epaulettes of his rank. It is said that when the Duke
retired, General CORDOVA exclaimed—' Never
before was such a scandalous thing done, even in the
reign of FERDINAND VII.'
We have received letters from Barcelona of the
26th ult., which state that the endeavours of General
PAVIA to put down the Montemolinist bands have
proved completely abortive, and the tyrannical
measures adopted by the General have produced an
impression anything but favourable to the Govern-
ment. A brother of the Cabecilla ESTARTO, who was
living quietly at Olat, has been arrested, and sent a
prisoner to Majorca, and his property confiscated.
His wife and children are at this moment begging their
bread in the streets. The only accusation brought
aginst him is, that he is ESTARTO'S brother. Many
of the farm-houses in Catalonia have been walled up
by order of PAVIA, and he has, it is said, announced
his intention of walling up all the isolated houses
in the open country, to whomsoever they may
belong. Should this prove insufficient for the de-
struction of the factious, he declares he will destroy
by fire every village in the province. "We hope,"
says our correspondent, " that such a Vandalic
project will not be put in execution, although
sad experience teaches us to expect from
our Afrancesade rulers all kind of mischief, used as
they are to treat the peasantry as mere slaves." No
compensation is given to the owners of the houses
walled up or destroyed by order of the military
authorities. Hundreds of persons, rendered house-
less by these arbitrary measures, are wandering about
the country ; and, as might have been expected,
many of them have joined the Montemolenists, who,
in bands of from fifty to one hundred men each, are
traversing the province in every direction.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday.
The debate on the Address was resumed in the
Chamber of Deputies on Friday, and, among other
paragraphs, that respecting Algeria was partially
discussed, and the discussion having been resumed on
Saturday, was very animated; in the course of it
General LAMORICI ERE vindicated, with much energy,
his own conduct and that of the Duke D'AUMA LE,
with regard to AMP EL-KADER. Marshal BUGEAUD
protested against any large reductions in the army of
Algiers, notwithstanding the surrender of Ann EL-
KADER. M. LAROCIIEQUELIN asked M. GuizoT
what were the intentions of the Government with
regard to the Emir, to which M. GuizoT replied :
" The promise made to him shall be fulfilled. We
cannot, however, allow him to proceed to St. Jean
d'Acre, because that fortress belongs to the Porte,
which has not yet recognised our African possessions.
If Abd-el Kader wishes to he conveyed to the East
he shall be conducted to Alvxandria. There, if the
Viceroy consents to receive him, we will find gua-
rantees and securities, which St. Jean d'Acre does
not offer."

Previous to the commencement of the discussion
of the paragraph relating to Algeria, on Friday,
the paragraphs relating to the affairs of Poland,
and those of La Plata, were agreed to. On
the subject of the negotiation for the pacifica-
tion of the provinces on the Rio de la Plata,
M. GuizoT refused to give any information. The
paragraph on Poland, however, gave rise to some
discussion, in the course of which M. VAvIN con-
demned in strong language the conduct of the
Government in forbidding the banquet to Prince
CZARTORTSKI and M. LIIERFIETTE, and asked if it
were true, that a Russian subject, M. BACONINE, had
been expelled from
_France for making a speech, in
which he had attacked the Emperor of RUSSIA. M.
DUCHATEL replied that the Government had grave
reasons for expelling M. BACONINE, and that with
regard to the banquet to Prince CZARTORTSKI, a speech
exceedingly offensive to the Emperor of RUSSIA had
been uttered., at the banquet of the pxQceding year,
Af..-GuizoT also, said 'that• if such 18-tivaice had?been
uttered at St. Petersburgh with regard tc the KING
of the FRENCH he should have demanded an imme-
diate explanation ; whereupon M. TRIERS remarked
that he was well convinced that the French Guvern-
ment would do so if such language were used at St.
Petersburgh; but if in any foreign country the same
language was used relative to the KING of the
FRENCH as was permitted in France with respect to
Switzerland or Italy, what language, he should
like to learn, would the Ministry then employ ?
M. GUIZOT denied that any such language had been
uttered with regard to the Swiss Government, upon
which M. CIiAMBOLLE reminded him that the Swiss
Government had been outraged and insulted by the
Comte DE MONTALEMBERT in the Chamber of Peers,
and yet the Minister, who was present, had taken no
notice of it. M. GUIZOT again gave a general de-
nial, and the paragraph was agreed to.
The litoniteur of Saturday announces that the
KING, by an ordonnance dated the 3d, has appointed
the Baron DE BUISIERES, Peer of France, and until
now Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary in Holland, Ambassador to the Court of Naples
The Siècle says—" Many Deputies of the majority
voted on Thursday with the Opposition against the
paragraph relative to the affairs of Switzerland.
They were MM. BOISSY-D'ANGLAS, GENIN, MAR-
MIER, MARTINET, PAILLARD-DUCLERE, YEJUX, and
the Duke D'ELCIIINGEN. M. DE LAROCCIEJMICTE-
LEIN was the only Legitimatist Deputy who voted
with the Opposition.
We find the following in the Union ilionarchique :
" We have before us a letter from Toulon from
which we must extract a few passages as likely to be
interesting to our readers. It speaks of Abd-el-
liader in manner to to make us believe that he is de-
cidedly a very suparior man. He bears his misfor-
tunes with unalterable dignity and mildness.
Deceived by war, he consoles himself with faith.
One expression of his paints him to the life. The
other day he said to en officer, ' the other world is as
to this like the East to the West. We cannot
approach the one without turning away from the
other.'"
It is said that the Duchess of MoNTPENSIER is in
condition which promises an heir to whatever pro-
perty she may inherit.
The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho-
rising the free importation of zinc, in a raw state
or in pigs, for the purpose of being converted
into plates, agreeably to the conditions stipu-
lated by the sth article of the law of the sth of
July, 1836. The importation may take place, by
sea or land, in French vessels or in those of the
country in which the metal was extracted. Another
ordinance provides that the stipulations of the royal
ordinances of the 21st of May, 1845, the 28th of
November, 1846, and 18th January, 1847, relative to
.the temporary importation, in French ♦essels, of rice,
raw tartar, madder roots, seed of colza, and cork in a
rough state, intended to be re-exported after under-
going a certain preparation, shall be applicable to
the importation of the same articles by the vessels of
the countries of which they are the produce. A third
royal ordinance permits the temporary and free MI-

portation of seeds of sesame and linseed, by land or
by sea, in French vessels or in those of the countries
where they are grown, in order to be converted into
oil, and re-exported.
The Ministers are beginning to be seriously
alarmed as to the result of the discussion in the
Chamber of Deputies on the reform banquets, which
is fixed for this day, and were engaged yesterday,
notwithstanding it was Sunday, in making the most
strenuous efforts to secure the attendance of their
friends in the Chamber of Deputies,
The. Prince of SYRACUSE the brother of the King
of NAPLES, who is a Prince of liberal politics, an-
nounced his intention of leaving Paris on Monday for
Naples. He had not, however, left on Saturday, as
he had not had his passports delivered to him.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.

OLD COURT'.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Thomas Harris was indicted for attempting to
extort money by false pretences.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddlestone appeared for
the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended.
Mr. CLARKSON stated the case. The prisoner for
some time past had adopted the name of Alfred Alford,
and a few weeks ago he addressed a letter from a
coffee-house in Furness-road, to Mr. Sydney Lloyd,
of Brooke-street, Grosvenor-square, a gentleman
well known in the sporting world, and a large pro-
prietor of race horses, offering, in consideration of a
ten pound note, to disclose the names of a number of
persons engaged in carrying on a system of drugging
race horses. The prisoner, in the event of his offer
being acceded to, undertook to prove that some of the
favourite horses entered to run at the last Goodwood
Races, including Planet, Red Hart, and another, had
been subjected to a process of drugging, while he
could also prove that measures had already been
adopted by the gang to obtain access to the favourite
horses that might be entered for the next Derby,
Ascot, and Goodwood Races. Mr. Lloyd agreed to
the terms, and advanced him 101., but the subsequent
statements of the prisoner were so contradictory and
improbable that he was given into custody.
Mr. Sidney Lloyd proved that he received a letter
purporting to come from Mr. Henry Alford, the pri-
soners father, and upon the faith of that letter, and
the representations made to him by the prisoner, he
paid the 101. He subsequently discovered that the
prisoner's father had been dead four or five years, and
that no reliance could be placed upon the prisoner's
statement.

Upon cross-examination by the prisoner, the wit-
ness admitted that he wanted to discover if a con-
spiracy of the nature described did really exist, and
in order to do so he promised to present the prisoner
with 1,000 guineas if he would join him in sifting
the matter. He di I not ;invite the prisoner to join
him in his gambling transactions, nor did he pledge
himself to the prisoner that if he would do so he
should be held harmless from the consequences of all
they undertook together. He firmly believed at the
time he paid the 101. that a conspiracy did really
exist.

Lord Henry Lennox corroborated the evidence of
Mr. Lloyd, and stated that the prisoner told him
that his father, William Packer, and Ashcroft were
well known at Kirton's coffee-house, in Peerless-
place, City-road, and that Williams was in the habit
of visiting once a day.
The prisoner—Have you not been concerned with
others in poisoning or drugging your own horses ?
Witness—You asked me that question when I saw
you before, and I indignantly refused to answer so
absurd a question.
The COURT—Your Lordship had better answer the
prisoner's qnestion.
Witness—Tken I unhesitatingly deny the insinua-
tion conveyed in the question.
The waiter and proprietor of the coffee-house
proved that no such parties as those mentioned by
the last witness were known to them, and that the
prisoner had been in the habit of frequenting the
house to write letters. Sometimes he used black and
sometimes blue ink.

Inspector Shackell proved that under the direction
of Lord Henry Lennox, he obtained a warrtnt for
the arrest of the parties whom the prisoner repro,-
sented as • being engaged in the conspiracy, but he
could never discover any such parties. Subsequently,
he found out that the prisoner's story was a fabrica-
tion. He had seen the prisoner write, and he be-
lieved the letters written to Mr. Lloyd were in the
handwriting of the prisoner.
Mr. Lloyd was recalled at the request of the jury.
The Foreman—ls it the practice of the turf to pur-
chase information of the character alleged to have been
given by the prisoner ?
Mr. Lloyd—Not that I am aware of.

The prisoner—lf you were told good things, would
you not readily pay for the information ?
Mr. Lloyd—Possibly.

This was the case for the prosecution.
The prisoner addressed a few words to the jury in
his defence. He did not deny the charge, but said he
had been led into it by some designing parties con-
nected with the turf. There was no doubt, however,
he said, that a conspiracy of the nature he had dis-
closed to the prosecutor did exist on the turf, and Mr.
Lloyd could prove it.
Mr. Lloyd was recalled at the prisoner's request,
and stated, in answer to a question, that at the time
he received the prisoner's letter he had reason to be-
lieve that his own horses had been drugged.
The COAfiloiON SERGEANT then summed up; anti 4:11

Tile jury *returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Court sentenced the prisoner to seven years
transportation.
The prisoner fainted upon hearing the sentence, and
was carried from the dock.

Silvester ifal,lltwas indicted for feloniously firing
a pistol at the person of Sophia Somers, spinster, of
199, Wellington-terrace, Waterloo-road, with intent
to kill or murder her. _ _

The facts of the case hive been so recently pub-
lished in The Sun, that it is unnecessary to go into
them at length. The prisoner met the prosecutrix a
few nights ago near the Lyceum Theatre, and they
afterwards retired to the Brunswick Hotel, in Bow-
street, where the prisoner in the course of the night
produced a pistol and fired it at the prosecutrix.
Mr. CLARKSON defended the prisoner, contending
that the pistol went off by accident, and that the
prisoner's producing it ought to be viewed in no light
but as a drunken freak.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common
assault, and
The Court sentenced him to nine months' impri-
sonment with hard labour.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
The quarter sessions for the county of Surrey,
commenced this morning at the Sessions House,
Newington causeway, before Thomas Puckle, Esq.,
and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar con-
tains the names of seventy-four prisoners.
William TVye, aged 22, was indicted for stealing
at Worplesden, a sheep, the property of 'William
Collins.

The prosecutor is a farmer at Worplesden, and on
the night of the 27th ult., he left five sheep safe in
the fold, with bells attached to their necks; on the
following morning he missed one, and on searching
about, he perceived one of the bells belonging to the
lost sheep outside the hurdles. lie then gave instruc-
tions to the police, and the same evening the sheep
was found in the prisoner's house, and the skin and
entrails were discovered in the garden, near the
kitchen•door. Prosecutor identified the skin.

Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner.
He was found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans,
ported for ten years.

TILE EARL or CARLIBLIL—We are glad to learn
that the Earl of Carlisle has recovered from his late
severe attack of indisposition.—Leeds Mercury.
The Peninsula and Oriental Company's steam-
packet Erin arrived at Southampton this morning from
the Mediterranean, bringing the remaining portion of
the East India mail. The letters will be delivered this
afternoon.
tl PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.----Mr. Hay, chemical as-
sistant to the master. ship• builder of this dockyard, pro-
ceeded this morning to superintend the application of
his composition (tor the prevention of corrosion in the
bottoms of iron vessels) to a vessel now fitting at Sheer-
ness.

Fox CATCHING.—Things are done very differently
in the Isle of Wight, particularly in the parish of North-
wood, to what they are in England, and surely there is
nothing very English in endeavouring to catch a fox in
a rat gin, but in the above neighbourhood they, instead
of hunting the " Varmint," shoot or trap them, and the
gamekeepers get 11. a head for all they destroy. A few
days since one was traced to Ruffer's Copse, and as usual
sly reynard was doomed. A duck was placed in an iron
cage and taken into the wood, a number of rat-gins were
set round the cage. The music of the lady's voice soon
attracted the gentleman, and in walking round the cage
to become better acquainted with her, one of his feet
was caught
in oue of the gins; in trying to extricate
himself he got fixed in three of the traps
and became au
easy prey to the keepers.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton: Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
firm. Sales, 4,000 bales, of which 3,000 were American,
at 4id. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were better, but
not much was done.

By the Plantagenet, advices have been received, dated
the Cape of Good Hope, Dec. 9, and Graham's Town,
Nov. 30. Umhala, a chief in alliance with England, had
attacked some of Pato's tribe, who were endeavouring
to escape with stolen cattle, and obtained advantages
over the latter. The new governor, Sir Harry Smith,
was expected shortly to proceed to the frontier.
The following particulars of the iron trade are from
Aris' Birminyham Gazette of to-day :
" Some symptoms of willingness to resume their work
are becoming evidrnt among the mill and forgemen, and
the puddlers appear to be the only class who seem reso-
lutely determined not yet to submit to the proposed
reduction. These, as usual, are the only persons who
have least cause of complaint, as a puddler and his boy
would still be able t,-) earn easily, at the new rate, Os. 64.
per day. Any improvement would be hailed by us with
pleasure, but the severe prostration of business still re-
mains unabated, and several additional furnaces have
during the fortnight been put out of blast. The re-
duction of discounts to 4 per cent. might, under other cir-
cumstances, have been attended with immediate beneficial
effects ; but unfortunately these now most in need are
the very subjects excluded from its operation. A slight
disposition to make enquiries also was observed in the
trade during the closing days of last month, but that
wore away with the week, and again subsided into the
previous gloom. Where a few orders might be
obtained at the reduced prices, it is impossible to
render them available, through the continued strike,
while confidence is too much shaken to allow of the dis-
posal of the small stocks on hand. A further fea.ful
shock has been given by the announced difficulties of a
very extensive Liverpool house, Messrs. Jeavons and
Sons, a firm that has alwam ranked high for industry,
integrity, and judgment, anTcommanded an almost un-
limited credit. Our own neighbourhood will, it is feared,
be seriously affected by this calamity, as very large
transactions were carried on with the Messrs. Jeavons;
and by parties here 90,0001. have been stated as the
extent of their liabilities; but hopes are entertained that
some arrangements can be mado to avoid serious losses."

The continental accounts received to-day allude to
the increasing abundance of money, especially at Ham-
burgh. From St. Peter:burgh we are informed that
there is to be no alteration this year in the tariff.
The Funds are very quiet to day, and prices are not
quite so good as on Saturday. Consols realise 89
for transfer to-morrow, and 89i to for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills of June have realised 28s.
to 30s. premium, and those of March, 255. East India
Bonds are 275. premium. There is no feature in the
market, the foreign intelligence being unimportant.
The New Three•and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
quoted 904 to 4, and the Three per Cents., 894 to 4,
Bank Stock is worth 202, and India Stock, 241.

The Foreign securities have been more animated than
the English funds. Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have
been quoted 21i to 21i, and the Three per Cents. 32i.
BrazilianiSinall Stock is at 85 to 86. Equador Bonds
have been worth 34 to i; Peruvians, 38 to 39; Vene-
zuela, 40; and Mexican, 19 to 19/. Dutch Two•and-a-

In Railway Shares the transactions have been rather
limited, and prices are not so well maintained.
