public. He sees that one Commissioner can perform
the duty of three, or rather six, the number who presided
at the notorious Portsmouth inquiry; that twelve Jurymen
are as good as twenty-four; and we hOpe he will also see
that two Counsel on each side are as good as ten. Lu-
natics are under his keeping, and it is his duty to take care
that their property as well as their persons are under safe
guardianship. The following are a few instances of the
present beautiful system. We give the fees of the Commis-
sionersalone, without those paid to Counsel, Jury, She-
riffs, summoning officers, and twenty others. In the case of
Davis, the tea-dealer, the fees were 346/. 10s. ; of
Taylor (whose estate was nearly consumed) 3461 10s. ;
of Lord Portsmouth, 1,071/. ; and for a case which was
heard in the country, 5,000/. for the expenses of a second
hearing, the first, of course, not having sufficiently ex-
hausted the estate. Even the little trifling affair of Mr.
Gundry cost in fees to the Commissioners alone 2261.
This, however, was but a small portion of the expense, for
the jurors received 1544 7s. ; the sheriffs, 361 15s. ; the
summoning officer, 11l 17s. ; the hire of rooms cost 441;
the grant of the custody, 35/. ; making altogether more
than 5081, independent of Counsels' fees, expenses of
witnesses, solicitors' bills, and many other items, which
the most fertile imagination, unless excited by the thirst for
gold, could never have invented. This shameful practice has
been carried on from time immemorial, yet a remedy
for such barefaced robbery was brought forward only
the other evening. However, better -late than never.
The public will be thankful to his Lordship for this
praiseworthy attempt to put down a crying abuse, and
protect the property of those afflicted by the greatest of
human calamities.

MAP OF THE BRITISH ISLES.—Mr. Wyld, of Charing-
cross, has just brought out a-splendid map, which em-
braces the whole of the United Kingdom and a portion
of France, extending to about seventy miles south of
`Paris. It exhibits the superficial geology of the coun-
. tries, with the physical and topographical featurts,
• the lines of railroad- completed, showing the different
stations, also those in progress of formation—in short;
the general means of communication, including common
roads, canals, and rivers. The steam-packet routes are
also given, with the distance from port to port, in
the British Isles, as well as the distance to the
principal ports abroad, as far south as Gibraltar.
All the proposed lines of railroad in France that can
be made serviceable for communication with this
country are laid down with the utmost minute-
ness, :and we have no doubt, 'also, correctness, as
they have been derived from authentic sources.
The map of the British Isles has been compiled
from the Ordnance surveys, and as Mr. Wyld, from his
appointment under the Crown, has acecess to these ex-
pensive and noble plans, we may safely pronounce this
the most correct, as well as the most comprehensive
chart yet published.
Mr. Baines, of Leicester, who has already suffered so
much from the harpies of the Church is again subjected
to their tender-mercies;together with a number of other
parishioners, who, froth conscientious motives, refuse
to pay Church7rates. It is painful to read an ac-
count of such proceedings, not only for the sake of
the sufferers, but for the injury caused to an Esta-
blishment which, under_ proper management, might
be useful and respected. Will these severe—these
wanton attacks, on men of irreproachable lives,
and firm believers, too, in the truths of Christianity, in
the end benefit the Protestant or Puseyite Church ?
Will they not, on the contrary, make her more and
more hateful to Dissenters, Catholics, and" even many
that profess her doctrines ? We trust the Government
will-look at the subject in this light, and without delay
put an end to this odious impost.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The suspense which prevails in regard to the financial
measure of Sir Robert Peel, entirely checks business in the
-Money Market, as well as in the mercantile world, and there
is a flatness perceptible in all quarters. The premium on
Exchequer bills was rather lower to-day, being 29,. to 30s.
India Bonds were neglected, at Bs. premium. The New
Three-and-a-Half realised 981 to 98k; and the Annuities for
30 years 12 9-16ths to 121. Consols, for immediate transfer,
were at 89 to 89* ; and for the Account at 89* to 89g.
I There was not much done in the Foreign Bonds, and prices
varied but to a trifling extent. Spanish were a little better,
owing to the advertisement of Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co.
respecting their intention to pay the interest. The Active
Bonds were at 25 in the morning, but closed at 244 for money.
Portuguese New Five per Cents. advanced from 33% to 34,
and the Old Stock from 59 to 59%. Mexican Bonds were
rather better, also being 371 to 38i.; but Colombian were dull
at 24/. Brazil Stock receded from 671 to 661.
Some of the Railway Shares were a trifle lower to-day, but
taking the market generally, there was no particular alteration.
Brighton were 15, Blackwell 13k, and Not Midland 291
discount. Great Western 23, and York and North Midland
421 premium. National Bank of Ireland Shares were 2to 11
discount, and London Joint Stock 21 to 21 premium.
Bills on the Continental Cities were drawn this afternoon at
the fol.owing rates of exchange:—On Paris, at 25f. 80c. to
85c. ; on Hamburgh at 13 111 to 12; on Amsterdatii, at 12
4% to 3/4 ;on Frankfort, at 1511; on Antwerp, at 12 41 to ;
and on Trieste, at 9 53% to 54.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 10.—Our
market
still continues flat and dell, without the least indication of im-
provement. The supply to-day was abundant, yet no decided
reduction was submitted to, and the sales consisted of 2,500
bales.. ,200 Surat 3* to 4; 60 Egyptian, 7,1 ;20 Bahia,
; arid 2,220 American, 4 to 6i.
LIVERPOOL SIIA RE MARK ET.—A moderate number of

instances somewhat lower than last quoted. The sales com-
, prised London and Birmingham, 173 ; Do., Quarter Shares,
581; London and Brighton, 351; Eastern Counties, 91 ex.
div. ; London and South Western, 58i ; Great Western kifths,

ter and Birmingham, 28i • Manchester and Leeds Half Shares,
331 ; Manchesternand Liverpool District Bank, 101; Man-
chester and Salford Bank, 10%.
There is but little disposition to deal in the Home Securities
at present, and the market continues flat. Consols are 891
Money, and 8.9 i ti for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 30s. to
38s. premium.
Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co. having accepted the agency
for the payment of the Spanish Dividends, has given more con-
fidence to the holders of these securities, and the Active Stock
advanced soon after the commencement of business t 0.251, but
has since Melted a little, and may now be quoted at 241 251;
Deferred, l 2% %; Passive, 5i 1; Portuguese Fiveper Cents:,
3311 34 .;. Ditto Threes, 191 201; Mexican Bonds, 374 38i ;
Colombian, 2411; Brazilian, 66 67.
There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter, and no
news of the least interest has transpired.
The West India steam-ship is now overdue some days; her
arrival is anxiously looked for.
The only arrival from the Continent this morning is one
Dutch, mail leaving one French and one Flanders due ; their
non-arrival is attributed to the state of the weather.
The Dutch Five per Cents. came 101 9-16, and Two-and-
a- Half 52 1-16 1. Exchange on London had declined 2i cents.
fer cash, being quoted at 12 121.
No intelligence of either the French or Flanders mail.
There has been scarcely a bargain transacted in the Stock
Exchange all the morning. Spanish Active Stock dons not
maintain the advance. It is now quoted at 241; Mexican
Bonds, 3,d ; Deferred, 101; Colombian Bonds, 241 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52; Ditto Fives, 1021; Consols
are 891- Money, and 891 for the Account; Exchequer Bills are
lower, they are now quoted at 30 prem. ; India Bonds 8 prem.
The Share Market is flat, with but little doing. Great
Westerns are 88 ; London and Brighton, 351 ; ditto Blackwell,
114.; Manchester and Leeds, 77 ; North Midland, 70i ; South
Eastern and Dover, 26.
Consols for Account, 891 1 • Colombian, 24i ; Mexican,
37i ; Spanish, 24% darkets firm, and little doing.
We have had various inquiries again as to the West India
mail-steamer, which was reported a day or two since to have
arrived, but has not yet been heard of. It is true, indeed, that
the Forth is mentioned in the New Orleans papers, as having
arrived out safe, and that there would be some delay in her re-
turn to this country, but the Solway was to bring on the advice,.
Considering that the whole plan of operations is of such mag-
nitude, and can yet scarcely have been set in motion yet, we
are of opinion that there is every reason to be easy upon the
point of the steamer's non-arrival.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A

POLICEMAN.

etter from Gratz, of the 18th ult., announces
the arrival there on that day of the Duke de Bordeaux, who left
Vienna on the 16th by the Neufkirchcn railroad in a special train.
His Royal Highness was In good health, and not at all fatigued by
his journey. On the day before his departure from Vienna, the
Empress, and all the other members of the Imperial Family, paid
hi Royal Highness a visit to take leave.
The ,Journal d'Evreux relates that some few days
ago, M. Valee, Registrar to the Justice of the Peace at Lou-
viers, caught his own son, 18 years of age, in the act of break-
ing open his money chest, and, on remonstrating with him,
theyouth levelled a carbine at his father, and threatened to
shoot him if he did not immediately give him 10,000 f.
Fortunately the noise was overheard by some persons, who
entered, and saved the life of M. Valee, The unnatural son
was placed in the hands of the police.
We understand the high tide of Sunday se'nnight
proved disastrously destructive on the opposite coast of the
Channel, as upwards of thirty persons who were employed
wraicking and fishing at low water, at St. Servan, were sur-
rounded by the rapid rise of the tide and drowned ; many
others narrowly escaped sharing the same fate.—Sherburne
Journal.

PORTSMOUTH, MAncir 10.—The Atholl troop-ship, Master
Commander Bellamy, has arrived from the West Indies, and
has brought home some invalids belonging to the Artillery.
At 2 A.M., on Monday last, when it was quite dark, she came
into collision in the chops of the Channel with the Jane Clark,
on her passage from Shields to Naples, heavily laden with
coals, which, from the violence of the concussion, almost im-
mediately after foundered. Happily, the disaster was not at-
tended with any loss of life, as the Atholl was enabled to save
the whole of the persons on board the Jane Clark before she
went down, and has brought them in safety to this port. The
Atholl has received considerable damage in her bows.
The Winchester, 50, was commissioned on Tuesday by
Commander Kelly for the flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon.
Josccline Percy. She is now in dock, and it is expectel that
it will be five or six weeks before she will be ready to leave it.
The time it wi'l take in fully equipping her for sea will depend
on her success in getting hands. She has already got several
volunteers, and many of her old hands, who have just been
paid off, have intimated their intention of volunteering again
into her upon their return from visiting them friends and
families.

The Queen, 110, Captain Bich, with the flag of Sir Edward
Owen, will sail for the Mediterranean. She is to be paid her
advance on Monday. Sir William Symonds and his son are
going out in her as far as Gibraltar.

The Vindictive, 50, Captain J. T. Nicolas, with the flag of
Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, is now quite ready to proceed
on her voyage to China. She will sail, if the weather permits,
either this evening or to-morro of morning.
The Driver steam-frigate, Commander Harmer, will leave
for Chica this afternoon. The Formidable, 84, Captain Sir
Charles Sullivan, is getting ready for sea, with all possible de-
spatch, in order to sail at the same time as the Queen, to afford
an opportunity of testing their respective rates of sailing, both
being new ships, and this being the first time that either of
them has been fitted for service. She has had a new capstan,
in lieu of the one she sprang when leaving Sheerness.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS.
The 73d Regiment of Foot, now lying at Forton barracks,
Gosport, will leave for Woolwich early next week.
The depot of the 19th Regiment of Foot, now at Gosport,
will also leave for Brighton at the same time.
The 16th Foot, now at Winchester, will succeed the 73d at
Gosport.
The newly raised regiment for St. Helena will leave Win-
chester in a few days, and take up their quarters at the Alban.),
barracks, near Newport, Isle of Wight, where they will remain
until they embark.
It is supposed that the foregoing movements, before the
usual period for changing quarters, are made in order to allow
two regiments of the line under orders for foreign service to
take up their quarters at Winchester barracks until they can
be embarked at this port.

The following are further particulars relating to the else of
the policeman Faulks, whose death we mentioned eks Thursday,
and which appears to be connected with some further singular
circumstances :—A short time after Faulks had been conveyed
to the station-house the stretcher was again sent for, with in-
f rmation that Patten, 127 F, whose beat adjoined that of the
deceased, had been found lying on the pavement in South-
ampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, in a state of insensibility ;
he was also removed to the station-house with all expedition,
and immediately put to bed. Upon the arrival of Mr. Snitch,
the surgeon who attended Faulks, that gentleman found
Patten in a state of delirium, arising, in his opinior, from the
effects of drink; and he also gave it as his opinion that the
deceased's death was occasioned by the same cause. After the
usual restoratives had been administered, Patten became
calmer, and slept for some time, but as soon as he awoke he
inquired where Faulks was; and upon being informed that he
was dead, immediately became so violently excited as to require
the assistance of four or five men to keep him in bed. He con-
tinued in that state for some tine, during which it- was found
necessary to bleed him twice. After the parox)sm had subsided,
and he had become sensible, he stated, as far as he could recollect,
shortly after three o'clock a gentleman went up to him whilst he
was on his beat, and anxiously inquired whether he had seen
constable No. 42. He (Patten) told him that he had seen him
a few minutes previous, and that he had gone round his beat.
The gentleman made some observations respecting the severity
of the weather, and then went away. As soon as he (Patten)
saw the deceased, he told him what the gentleman had said,
and asked him whether he knew him ? The deceased said that
he knew very well who he meant. They walked together for
a few steps, and in passing the shop of a druggist again saw the
gentleman, who accosted them, and after some conversation
said, as the morning was extremely cold and wet, a drop of
something would do them good, and offered to treat them. He
then invited them into the shop and gave them a glass of
whiskey and water each ; after they had drunk it, he wished
them to take some more, but they declined, stating they were
afraid it would overcome them, and if so, notice would be taken
of it at the station-house. The gentleman then said, " Oh,
old fellow, never mind that, I will give you something that will
take it all away, and it will never be noticed- that you have
been drinking." He then took down a bottle, from which he
poured something of a red colour into a glass, which he gave
them, and after drinking it they went away. Patten further
stated, that he then left the deceased to go round his beat, but
did not know what became of him afterwards, neither could he
recollect anything that occurred after that period, either as to
where he (Patten) went, or how he got to the station-house.
It is right to state that Patten gave the above account in a
very incoherent manner, and swooned away as soon as he had
coneluded. Down to a late hour on Thursday evening he con-
tinued in a very weak and excited state, but Mr. Snitch con-
sidered he was going on favourably. The deceased and Patten
were both said to be very sober, steady men, and the Sergeant
on duty, who saw them when he went his round between three
and four o'clock, states that at that time they were perfectly
sober. The deceased, who was apparently about twenty-six
or twenty-seven years of age, has left a wife and three chil-
dren. We understand that this is not the only occurrence of a
similar description which has lately takes plice in the same
neighbourhood, though fortunately not attended with fatal con-
sequences.
A
