LAW AND POLICE.

At Liverpool, before Mr. Baron Rolfe, Peter Halewood was
indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of hay, the pro-
perty of one James Dickenson, and to a certain barn and out-
houses, at Upholland, in this county, the property of the Rev.
Richard Ramshaw Rothwell. He was found guilty, and
transported for life.
At the Mansion-house, William Read, shipowner, of Ips-
wich, and William Simpson, the commander of the brig
Colina, which was lost off the coast of Holland, were brought
up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, officer, for final exa-
mination upon the charge of having conspiied to sink that
vessel, for the purpose of defrauding the Alliance Marine
Assurance Company. The prisoners were remanded, but will
be formally committed on Monday. The witnesses were
bound over to appear at the next sessions of the Central
Criminal Court.

At the Norwich Assizes, before Mr. Justice Patteson,
Hall was indicted for setting fire to a stack of wheat, and
other stacks, the property of Edward Corbould. The prose-
cutor is a tenant of the Earl of Leicester, under whom he
occupies a farm in Weasenham. The prisoner was a labour-
ing man in that parish, and is deaf and dumb. The indict-
ment against him was put into his hands, and having read
it, he wrote on a separate paper, " I am not guilty," and the
names of the jurors were given to him, and he was informed
that be might challenge any or all of them ; but he answered,
►y writing, that he had no objection to any of them. The evi-
dence was nearly all circumstantial, but the prisoner was
fsund guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life.
Elizabeth Watson and Mary Elliott, the former a well-
dressed middle-aged woman, the latter the wife of a highly-
respectable tradesman in Spitalfields, were charged at
Worship-street by Mr. Thomas Butler, a linen-draper, 74
and 75, High-street, Shoreditch, with shoplifting. The article
stolen was an expensive satin scarf, which on being searched
the prisoner -Watson let fall from part of her dress. She was
fully committed for trial, but Mrs. Elliott was discharged,
there being no sort of evidence against her. The husband
of Watson was stated to hold a confidential public situation
in the City.

A fashionably attired. young man, wearing moustachios,
and described on the police-sheet as William Burton Newen-
harn, 31, Upper Berkeley-street West, Portman-square,
gentleman, was charged at Clerkenwell with the abduction
of Frances Louisa Northam, the daughter of a widow lady,
living in 39, Gerard-street, Coburg-road, Islington.. The
young lady, who has an independent property, is only four-
teen years of age. She is a ward in Chancery. She was
given up to her mother, and the prisoner remanded till Wed-
nesday next.

AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE.

Mr. Horne, the author of the " New Spirit of the
Age," a work just published, is most mercilessly
lashed by a critic in this Magazine for presuming to
sit in judgment on his contemporaries. He has, it
seems, been guilty of the crime of overrating some
living writers and underrating others—a heinous
atrocity, for which he ought to have known that he
would be sure to bring a hornet's nest about his ears.
We have not yet read his work, and cannot therefore
undertake to say how far the present severe strictures
on it are just or otherwise; but if it be really true,
as Tait asserts, that he has placed Dickens as a no-
velist Above Cervantes, Fielding, and Scott, he has
shown how utterly unfitted he is for the task of dis-
criminating and dispassionate criticism. Boz is by
many
.degrees the first writer of fiction of the day;
there is no one who even approaches him in the power
of delineating every-day life and character; but, to
compare him with the creator of the brave, self-
denying, high-minded Don Quixote, who even in his
wildest flights of eccentricity never once loses his hold
on our veneration with Fielding, whose quiet
strength and grace of style, various scholarship, and
constructive faculties are so remarkable—or with
Scott, that unrivalled master of the picturesque,
whose rare fancy, humour, invention, learning, are
only equalled by his bonhommie, knowledge of the
world, and intimate acquaintance with those hidden
..
springs which set the puppet man m motion;--to

nisterial plan by the whole of the Tory press, he adds,.

"This change of support, which was observable in the
press, was likewise to be found in the Chamber, but no doubt
the Liberal and disinterested sentiments which were ex-
pressed on this occasion in the British Parliament were not
without an alloy. There were to be found, in the majority
which voted for Lord Ashley, former Ministers, who were not
sorry to see their,successors in difficulty—discontented Conser-
vatives, who gave themselves to the satisfaction of a petty
vengeance—and representatives of the agricultural interests,
who waged war for war. It may be seen, from the speeches
made during the debate, to what a point the passions of the
speakers were excited. The Minister may recover his majo-
tity, but the recollection of these irritating discussions will
not be so speedily effaced."
The motion of M. GARNIER PAGES, for the con-
version of the Five per Cent. Stock, was examined in
the different Committees on Friday, and seven out of
nine decided that it should be discussed at their next
Sitting. Ministers did not oppose the reading of the
motion, but at the same time expressed their deter-
mination to resist the attempt to carry such a measure
at the present time. On Saturday M. CUNIN Gm-
DAINE, the Minister of Commerce, presented to the
Chamber a project of law opening a credit of
54,000,000 of francs for the Tours and Bourdeaux
railway, and another Bill opening a credit of
54,000,000 for the railway to be constructed between
Paris and the Mediterranean (Lyons railway).
The Funds declined a trifle on Saturday, the Five
per Cents. closing at 121 f. 90c., and the Threes at 83f.

PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.

Credit given for half the amount of the first fire Annual Premiums,
by which means _Assurances may be effected with the least possible
present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder
►lll become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu-
tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount
of his premiums in advance, in the usual way.
Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age,
instead of paying 2/. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would
be required to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on
payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share
of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre-
miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally
paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance
Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As-
sured.

Credit allowed for the whole of the first live Annual Premiums, on
satisfactory security being give* for the payment of the same at the
expiration of five years.
All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy-
holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.
Full particulars are detailed in the Prospectus, which, with every
requisite information, may be obtained by application to

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

Notwithstanding its Toryism, which is notoriously of
an inveterate character, this Magazine speaks out on the
subject of " Lord Ellenborough and the Affairs of
India" with a boldness, and even fierceness, that
could scarcely be exceeded by the sourest member of
that unhappy party whose hard lot it is to sit shivering
on the Opposition side of the House, uncheered in
this, their season of gloom, by the slightest prospect
of again basking in the sunny paradise of office. Not
only is his Lordship accused of a " bad temper,"
" haughty disposition," and " insufferable self-con-
ceit," but Fraser deliberately adds that, " by the pe-
culiar constitution of his mind, lie is quite unfit to be
entrusted with the chief management of the affairs of
India !" His proceedings in Sinde and elsewhere are
then canvassed in A strict, minute spirit of inquiry,

THE PRESBYTERIAN MOVEMENT.

The Presbyterians are agitating in earnest, and with• a
hearty good will. Meetings to petition for equality of rights
with the Established Church on the marriage question, were
held last week, in Dromore, Ballymoney, Newtownhamilton,
Killileagh, Dungannon, Lurgan, Bangor, Ballymena, Rath
friland, Cookstown, Lame Donaghadee, and Coleraine.
Lisburn, and various other places, and even Armagh, the
citadel of Primate Beresford, are joining in this formidable
movement.

LOSS OF LIVES AT HuLL.---A serious accident oc-

book-keepers. The offices are built over a reservoir or drain.
The accident occurred in striking some wedges from an arch
over the reservoir, when the arch fell with a great crash;
and at the time of the accident four men were at work un-
derneath the arch, two of whom were killed; the ether two
fortunately escaping with only a few contusions. About a
dozen men were at work on a scaffolding over the 'reservoir;
but providentially they alto sustained no serivas injury:—

COEBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE for April.
The famous Thomas Ingoldsby opens this number with one of
his most humorous versitications, called" The Wedding Day,"
which is capitally illustrated by Leech. " The Medical Stu-
dent" contributes a striking tale, entitled "Marianne Ester-
ling; Mrs. Trollope gives a delightful account of a week's
ramble at Aix-les-Bain§ and its neighbourhood. The Mar-
chioness of Londonderry concludes her attractive narrative
of her recount Tour. Mr. Laman Blanchard furnishes a pi-
quant article called " April Fool's Day all the Year Round,"
and the humourist department of the Magazine is also well
supported by two clever anonymous papers on " Social
Nuisances," and "The Right of Self Commemoration."
The " Recreations in Natural history, " are continued with
unflagging interest, the subject of the present part beiwng
" Elephants." There are several other papers, which ill
well repay attention ; but one in particular, entitled " The
Emperor Nicholas, his Nobles, Serfs, and Servants," will be
perused with the greatest interest. In poetry, the number
for April is unusually rich, comprising articles by Miss Cook,
Mrs. Gore, Horace, Smith, &C.
Mr. Wilson will give his celebrated selected enter-
tertainment on the songs of Scotland, at the London Me-
chanics' Institution, Chancery-lane, on Tuesday evening
nest. The receipts will be devoted to the funds of the in-
st on, Mr. Wilson having liberally given his services fur
the above evening. _ _

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS1 MARCH
The Foreign Wool Market has not this week been
quite so animated as we have noticed during the last
few weeks, although some tolerably extensive sales
have been -effected: In respect 'to prices, the iiii-
pression seems now prettygeneral that there is no
probability. of their being lower, for some months to
come at least, than at present.
'ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Marten 29.
Sales of combing Wools during the present week have
been limited. Prices are quoted about the same as
last week. ,We have not any. alteration to notice in
clothing wools.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 29.—We
have. this week to report a feW transactions in comb-
, ing wools, principally in the best class of hogs, and
hog and wether skins at former quotations; Other de-
scriptions are firm, but nothing doing in 'them of iin-
' port:lnce. The demand for.blanket and low' clothing
wools is steady, and prices firm.
LEEDS, MARCH 29.—There has been rather more
business done at our cloth halls this week than last,
•and there have 'also been considerable- deliieries of
goods to order during the week, particularly to houses
who are in the shipping trade. The market is very
thin of goods of low qualities, and prices are still
looking up, whilst fine goods continue dull of sale,
without any alteration in prices. There has also been
a little improvement in business, in the warehouses,
with the houses connected with the home trade, and
the shipping houses are busier than for some years, 'at
the same period of the year.
11RADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—In the Piece
market there is not quite so much doing by the Ger-
man houses, who appear to be getting in their orders
for-. the Leipzie spring fair, commencing at Easter.
Buyers for other markets are tolerably active, and on
the whole a satisfactory business is doing. Yarns are
not brisk as a few weeks past, ner can old rates be
maintained.. Wool continues in slow request, and at
nominal prices. •
MANCHESTER, .THURSDAY EvENINO.—We have
had a week of great depression in our cloth market.
and prices are lower even since Tuesday, with a cer-
tainty of things going .still lower. The demand for
sheeiings on China account is still good, and prices
rather higher. Till the Liverpool market has gained
• what is fancied the lowest point, we shall have, it is
Nought, very little doing. . Twist is operated upon
ekactly like cloth. PriCes are lower, with sales of
the most limited description..

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1844.

The usual fortune of Sir ROBERT PEEL to reap
where others have sown, the " sic vos non vobis" fata-
lity which hands over to him the realised results of a
policy that, while in progreSs, he has denounced, op-
posed, contended against, and done his utmost to
obstruct,—are exemplified in the revenue returns for
the year and quarter ended yesterday. They exhibit
upon the enormous aggregate revenue of 50,396,977/. I
the proportionably enormous increase, over the aggre-
gate of the year ended sth April, 184:3, of 4,318,1671.
The comparison of this quarter with the correspond-
ing quarter of the year 1843, gives, not indeed a
similar ratio of improvement, but a total increase of
325,0341., being the difference between 10,469,477/.
and 10,794,5111. Now, if we analyse the returns, so
as to assign the particular items on which this excess
of productiveness has been developed, we shall find
that (setting aside the " property-tax," which is an
integer in the account sui geueris, and not influenced
by causes that inevitably affect the other sources of
revenue,) we shall find that the two heads of largest
increase are precisely those which received the most
incessant (care and attention of Sir ROBERT'S prede-
cessors in office. They applied to them, to the utmost
of their ability, those free trade principles which Sir
ROBERT strenuously combated whilst in opposition,
en masse ; but furtively adopts, piecemeal, (that he
may not too abruptly shock the prejudices,of his col-
leagues,) now that he is in office. It appears that the
increase on the present over the last financial year
(respectively ended .sth April) has been—on the re-
ceipt of Customs 658,3351.; ditto Excise, 474,607/.
Now, what the admirable labours of Mr. LADOUCIIERE
and Mr. BARING, in the consolidation and reduction of
Customs' duties, were not permitted to accomplish,
the luck of the Premier has, from time to time, su -
c
cessfully pushed forward into practical working.
Opposed, if we may credit his speeches in opposition,
to the.principles of free trade, he consistently enough
declaimed against the preliminary of extensive modi-
fications •of existing duties. In office he has, almost
in silence, but by little and little, given to those prin-
ciples efficiency and practical application. But for
treading in the steps, therefore, which Lord MLL
BOURNE'S Government were displaced for venturing
to tread, Sir ROBERT would have had as indifferent
an account to show of receipts from Customs as those
who went before him, so long -as these were
not allowed to carry out the suggestions on
which the Premier and his Government have since

successfully acted, albeit in the teeth of their own
avowed convictions or prepossessions of past years.
The improvement in the product of the Excise is
Attributable to another cause ; but here, too, the result

rortEroN.

On Tuesday the Kingof the accompanied by
Generals Aymard and Fried, left the Tuileries at three
o'clock for St. Cloud, returning at seven. In the even-
ing, their Majesties received the Ministers of the Marine
and Finances, the Prince and Princess de Wagram,
Baron and Baroness Langsdorff, Count and Countess de
Savandy, Mine. Lacave Laplagne, the Marquis de
Pange, Count ()raison, Generals Viscount Bonnemains,
Foucher, Count Lalaing d'Audenarde, Barons Wolff,
Paixhans, and Valliant, Admirals Hamelin, Lemarant,
and Dupotet, Baron Daunant, and Lady Airey.
The Director-General of the Customs has addressed a
circular to the different ports of France, announcing that
the Minister of Finance has decided that the privilege
of exporting goods without payment of export. duty,
which was conferred by a Ministerial order in July last
in favour of shipments to the Marquesas, is to be ex-
tended to the Society Islands, which are under the pro-
tection of France.
The National states that the Procureur-General has
ordered a prosecution to be commenced against the
Abbe Maurette fir having published a pamphlet entitled
Le Pape et l'Evangile, or Encore des adieux a Rome.
The Esperance, a Protestant journal, of Paris, adds,
that " the Abbe Maurette has quitted France for Canada,
as a Protestant missionary, with the intention of con-
verting the French population of that colony.
The Universal Gazette, of Augsburg, has been stopped
on the Russian frontiers, on account of its containing
reviews of M. de Custine's work, and several other works
on Russia, which have given dissatisfaction. Apart-
ments are preparing at the Chancellerie for the reception
of the Emperor of Russia.
A letter from Trieste, March 22, in the Cologne Ga-
zette, says :—" We have received letters from Corfu,
stating that the fermentation which has reigned for
some time in the lonian islands has determined the
English Government to introduce certain ameliorations.
The Lord High Commissioner has presented to the Le-
gislature various Bills for the equal division of the taxes,
the formation of new roads, and the rights of commons.
To give work to the poor, the Government has ordered
several public buildings to be constructed."
It is said that the differences which have sprung up to
prevent the marriage of the Archduke Stephen, of
Austria, with the Russian Archduchess Olga, is a source
of great annoyance and disappointment to Prince Met-
ternich. The Austrian Prime Minister was inclined to
accede to the wishes of Russia, but a large party in the
Council voted against all concession, and left Prince
Metternich in the minority.

FARRINGDON MARKET.

Mr. GRESHAM moved fur a return of the estimated
rental of Farringdon Market when wholly let, and the
actual rental received for the last two years ending at
Michaelmas last; distinguishing the estimated rental,
and the produce of that part of the market which abut,
upon Shoe-lane.—Agreed to.

THE VAGRANT POPULATION OF THE METROPOLIS.

A spirited discussion took place upon a motion of
Deputy CORNET, upon the moral and physical con-
dition of the wgrant population of the metropolis;
but as the Court was counted out, and the motion is
to be considered in a future Court, we postpone Vlu
publication of the speeches until we can state the
result.

THE GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We are gratified
to hear that the good service pension of 1501. per annum,
which had fallen to the patronage of the Admiralty by the
death of Captain J. Coghlan, C. 8., has been bestowed by the
Earl of Haddington on Captain Henry Prescott, C.B. (1810).
Captain Prescott's services during the late war were as bril-
liant as they were effective. He was a midshipman of the,
Penelope in 1800, when she captured the French ship of the
line Guillaume Tell ; he served a 5 Lieutenant of the Aolus
in Strachan's action, and had command of the Weazle,
28 guns, from 1808 to 1811, during which time he maintained
the reputation which this sloop had acquired, by his being
constantly engaged with the enemy's flotillas and batteries
in the Adriatic. He was posted while in command of this
vessel, for a gallant affair at Amanthea, at which place he
landed in command of a detachment of seamen and marines
from the Weazle, Thames, and Pilot, and captured six gun
vessels and a very large convoy. Captain Prescott was
nominated a C.B. in 1815, and his last employment afloat
was in the Aurora, 46, in the Pacific, from the year 1821
to 1824, where, as senior officer of that station, he rendered
important services during. the convulsions and revolutions
in the Spanish colonies by his indefatigable exertions in
causing, British interests to be respected at this momentous
crisis.
