LAW AND POLICE.

Cesare Ungheretti, an Italian, was charged at
Guildhall with threatening the life of Dr. Belluomini
(one of Napoleon's physicians, and the introducer, of
the homoepathic system into England), and also that
of Miss Clorinda Sagramoni, residing at his house in
Great Marlborough-street. The defendant was held
to bail.

LITERARY (IND SCIENTIFIC.
Thursday concluded the seventh day's sale of the
third part of the library of the late George Chalmers.
So extensive a collection of the proclamations of
James 1., has not occurred in any sale for many
years ; since, being generally stuck upon walls and
dilapidated buildings, they are very generally de-
stroyed. Many of them were obviously the produc-
tion of the King's own pen.
The charge of whitewashing our churches to hide
the paintings, carved work, &c., is generally attributed
to the Reformers in the days of Henry TIII. or
Elizabeth. Many circumstances, however, show that
most of the whitewashing was done during the great
rebellion, and was not intended as a work of deface-
ment, but to serve as a defence against CromWell's
Iconoclasts.

At the Sandwich islands, owing to missionary

The 'death of Dr. Sands, the Bishop of Cashel, is
likely to lead to,Pa vacancy on the Judicial as well as on
the Episcopal Bench. It has been understood for
some time past that Judge Torrens was willing to
retire in favour of any of the Government men, pro-
vided his brother, the Archdeacon, was elected to the
Episcopacy. This opportunity has presented itself,
and the probability, is, that the descent of the Judge
will be but a preliminary to the exaltation of the par-
son. Mr. Sergeant Warren, it is thought, will be
the successor of Torrens in the Common Pleas.--Cor-
respondent of the Advertiser.
A rich copper mine has been opened at Cumber-

monthly. mart of ore at Swansea. There is not a

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, FRIDAY' EVENING•
A steady business was done in Stocks this after-
noon, and, after our report in the morning, an
improvement occurred in Consols to the amount of
* per cent., the latest rates being 941 to 941,
both for Money and the settling day, on Thursday
next. For January, the quotations are about 94i to
94k. Exchequer Bills continued heavy, on account
of the supposed intention of Government to reduce
the interest. The, premium was 55, and upon India
Bonds 51 to 53 ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 101* to 101,1; the Three per Cents., 93i ; and
Bank Stock, 169.

All the Foreign investments were done at high
prices, the bargains this bgng at the fol-
lowing rates :—Chilian, 91 ; Colombian, 21/} to•2li ;
Portuguese Converted, 321; Buenos Ayres, 22f to
224 for Account ; and Spanish Three per Cents., 181
to 181 for Account.

Notwithstanding .the paucity of business, there was ;
certainly rather a firmer market for Railway Shares,
the operations, in addition to those .of . the morning, „Iri.,
being, however, limited to the following :—Bristol s
and Exeter, 251 to 241; and Eastern Counties, 14i • rt.'”
discount; Birmingham Quarter Shares were 234 ;
Paris and Rouen, 21 to 3*-; and Eastern Counties, , ,
tttlO
New, 21 premium. , ,;tv
The business noticed by.us for some days past in .•,;1_4""
the rates of Foreign bills continued again to-dah ir74
having been 25f. 80c. to 25f: 821 c. on Paris ; 13 1011
to 13 11 on Hamburgh ; 12 51 on Amsterdam ; 12 44i
to 12 41 on Antwerp ;957t09 58 on Trieste ; and .t;
151 to 151.1 on Frankfort.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The accounts from Liverpool state that there has
been more disposition to sell Cotton since the arrival q
of the Britannia, but that prices have not gone lower.
The quantity which changed hands was 4,000 bales.
In Railway Shares there was only a small business
done. Eastern Counties were 8i ; Birmingham, 10; .
Brighton, 351 ; and Great Western New, 591. 1et.'15,4
The very quick passage of her Maj'esty's packet i:;!,
Crane, from Rio de Janeiro, -furnishes advices from '11.11,0
that lace as late as the 13th October, from Buenos jsrfi,
l
Ayres of the 16th of September, and from Monte. 00'0,
Video of the 17th of September. From all that i 3 .0119 Ciro
stated,- it is much to be feared that the contest be- , ;90:01
tween Rosas and the Oriental republic will end in:it fivri'il"of
the sub ugation of the latter, though, perhaps, if the
aim of Rosas be simply to displace Rivera, the con- iilo4
sequences may not be very serious, Rivera having
_!of
given Roses good cause for offence. The Buenos ,09 211 y
Ayrean Government has done at least some good bY
opening the navigation' of the Parana and the com-
munication with Uruguay, finding, probably, that our
Minister had set off in another direction for this litter
place, and being jealous also of the growing comroor' ,•
cial importance of Monte Video. •
The following is a statement of the number of Bri •
tish vessels that entered the port of Monte Video •
the years 1830 and 1841, and which shows tile irn" • ,
portance of our trade with that Republic 1830
the number was 41 ships, with 7,480 tonnage and 425
men, while they had increased in 1841 to 159 shirt
34,537 tonnage, and 1,788 men.

- .
Another interesting return proves the relative nor .•.;
nitude of the trade of Buenos Ayres and Monte Vicle°9
by giving the number of merchant vessels. In Monte
Video there were 112, of which 24 were British, and :
at Buenos Ayres 45, 10 being British.

It v, as thought the corn trade had settled downs'
but we are sorry to hear of two other failures, both
here and at Amsterdam, in addition to those which we

In the accounts received yesterday from Canada, it - 'lO,/
is stated that the settlement of the Boundary Ques-
tion will open up a most splendid country for settle' of 4",0

The river St. John is navigable by boats up to -SO
source, a distance of 360 miles from its mouth. Or
rican enterprise and capital, as the country in the:;
vicinity becomes populous, will overcome those fel/ 100ij
obstructions that at present impede its navigation
and it is for the people of this part of the province, la.
particular, to set about laying the Foundation of th_iity
social intercourse which otherwise may be divert'
