General Viscount Beresford, Major-General Sir Hussey

All the guests were in full uniform, and wore all their de-
corations.
At the termination of the repast, " the Queen" was the
first toast, and the customary toasts " the memory of the
heroes who fell at Waterloo, and " the health of our brave
companions in arms," were given in due order.
The party separated shortly before half-past ten.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-MONDAt

A woman named Margaret Welsh was placed at the bar
under the following circumstances. Between nine and ten
o'clock on Saturday night the prisoner entered the shop o f
Mr. Walker, straw-bonnet maker, in Whitechapel, and
asked to be shewn a Dunstable bonnet. One of the value of
3s. was shewn to her, but she said she would not put such a
thing upon her head. A higher-priced one, for which ss.
were asked, was then shewn to her, and whilst the shopman
was replacing the other bonnet in the window, the prisoner
went towards the door, saying that as she had not sufficient
money she would go for the remainder. The shopman ob-
served the bonnet under her shawl; he did not, however, de-
tain her, but pointed her out to a policeman, who took her
into custody. The bonnet and a pair of stays were found
upon her ; and it was proved that she had stolen the stays
from another shop the same evening. She was committed
for trial.

Elizabeth Field, a young woman, was charged with having
defrauded several persons of articles of wearing apparel, by
entering their houses under the pretext of being a charitable
agent.—Mr. Dowling stated that there were a number of
cases against the prisoner—eight or ten—but the magistrate
intimated that he should confine himself to two.—The first
person called was a Mrs. Pritchard, an old woman, who
stated that on Friday, as she was washing her steps, the pri-
soner came up and asked her if she stood in need of charity,
and whether she had any decent apparel in which to go to
chapel or church upon Sundays. The complainant pointed
out the dress she was then wearing, and two others, to the
prisoner. The prisoner sent out a little girl, who lived with
the complainant, for a halfpenny worth of milk, and during
her absence she appropriated the two dresses to herself, the
complainant not being able to see her. A handkerchief,
however, belonging to the prisoner, was afterwards found in
the place where the dresses had been.—A pawnbroker pro-
duced three dresses, all of which had been pledged by the
prisoner, and two of which belonged to Mrs. Pritchard.—
The next witness was a Mrs. Balmer, who stated that the
prisoner called upon her in a similar way, and asked her if
she and her daughter had any decent apparel, and whether
they stood in need of any apparel. She answered, yes. The
prisoner asked her to borrow pen and ink, in order that she
might write down her name, and during her absence the de-
camped with a chemise and a gown.—Mr. Rushton ordered
the prisoner to pay double the value of the dresses pawned,
and, further, the penalty of £5. In default she was com-
mitted for three months.

TRIAL OF GOULD.

Shortly after the trial of Oxford had been postponed,
Richard Gould was placed at the bar, charged with break-
ing and entering the dwelling-house of the late unfortunate
Mr. Templeman, in Pocock's-fields, Islington, and stealing
therefrom a sum of money, his property. The prisoner
walked with a firm step to the bar, and respectfully bowed to
the coart. He maintains the same nerve and firmness which
he has so remarkably exhibited on all former inquiries. He
pleaded in a firm tone of voice Not Guilty.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine conduct the prosecution.
The prisoner has no counsel.
Mr. Bodkin, at considerable length, detailed the facts of
the case to the jury ; but as there is no circumstance con-
nected with the inquiry with which the public is not fully
acquainted, we consider it unnecessary to give a detailed re-
port of the trial, particularly so as the result is the only
point of importance; and it is not likely, as there are 26
witnesses in attendance, that the verdict will be returned un-
til a very late hour.

THE VERDICT.

At half-past five this afternoon, after the learned Judge
had charged the jury, commenting upon the evidence as he
proceeded, and pointing out to their particular attention those
parts which most immediately bore upon the guilt or inno-
cence of Gould, the gentlemen of the jury retired to consider
their verdict, and returned at six o'clock, when they pro-
nounced the prisoner Guilty.
The Judge immediately passed upon him the sentence of
—Transportation for Life.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed this evening in the
first place to move the third reading of the Colonial Passen-
rters Bill ; after that the third reading of the Admiralty
'Courts Bill ; and if the discussions on these measures was
concluded by nine o'clock, he should move the second read.
ing of the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, No. 2.
Lord STANLEY.—If the second reading of the Irish Re.
gistration Bill (No. 2) does not come on this evening, is the
noble lord prepared to say on what day he will move it
(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL.—I cannot name any other day. (Loud
cries of " Hear, hear.")
Lord STANLEY.—The noble lord admits the urgent ne-
cessity of considering the present mode of the registration of
voters both in England and Ireland, and yet he is not pre-
sent to state a day. Now it was desirable that the house
should decide upon which bill they should adopt, his (Lord
Stanley's) or the Solicitor-General's for Ireland; and the
house would not do its duty if they allowed the noblelord,
at this period of the session, to postpone both bills after the
present week. (Hear.) He would not consent to have the
further consideration of his bill postponed beyond Monday
nest. (Hear.)

Lord. J. RUSSELL said, he did not consider that he was
bound, to appoint any day for the consideration of those
measures; they would come on in the ordinary course. (Hear.)
Mr. LABOUCHERE said, he wished to give notice to Irish
members that if an opportunity occurred he should move the
third reading of the Flour Importation (Ireland) Bill this
evening.

COLONIAL PASSENGERS BILL.
Lord J. Russzu. moved the third reading of the Colonial
Passengers Bill:

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 9.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal,
from Ireland, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a
moderate extent, and the continuance of very favourable weather,
with a depression in the London, and in most of our influential
country Corn markets during the past week, have' caused a very
moderate and limited demand here for Wheat at a further decline
of 2d to 3d per 701 h. for Oats, at a decline of Id per 451 b. and for
almost every other article in the Corn trade at a small depression,
though in their general quotations of Tuesday we could make no
alteration.

A spirit of discontent and rebellion has gained considera-
bly upon the inhabitants of the capital, and given rise to
the establishment of numerous illegal associations and bro-
therhoods in the very precincts of the palace. The report
of this state of things does not proceed from the pencil of a
misanthrope, but from the court itself, and may therefore
be considered as by no means exaggerated. Defiance of the
constituted authorities, robbery in open daylight, and ex-
cesses of every description, are the immediate consequences.
The inference we must draw from this is, that the Supreme
Government is either too weak to oppose effective restraint,
or that the police is leagued with the outlaws. After
much search five persons have been discovered who had
joined themselves by an oath, besmearing their mouths and
swearing eternal fidelity to each other. Though they are
guilty of no other crime, they have been delivered over to
the tribunal of punishment, to be dealt with according to
the law, which denounces such proceedings. The Imperial
tombs have again been violated, much to the grief of old
Taoukwang. Little as we know about the Celestial Court,
there seems to be much agitation amongst the dense popula-
tion. At Moukden, the second capital, matters are by no
means better, as the translation of the following edict will
show. The riots•there have been worse than at Birmingham,
buteelestial justice is summary—catch the criminals, whether
Chartists or common agitators, and if you cannot do so within
a specified time you must take the consequences. Trial,
sentence, and execution, are in this land synonymous terms.
We have received an Imperial edict to the following effect :
She and Ying have presented a memorial requesting to de-
grade some assistant magistrates for not keeping a proper
watch and the consequent escape of some criminals, that they
may in future seize them in rood earnest. It appears that
several persons, guilty of milder, through their negligence ab-
sconded, and subsequently plotted together to the number of
several hundred men and acted as incendiaries at Moukden.
Eighteen of them have since been caught. —Pekin Gazette.

CHINESE TROOPi.
Nine Government junks and boats, some of them of large
size, filled with Chinese troops, have been lying in the inner
harbour for the last eight or ten days. Five are anchored
near the Leen-fung temple on the race course, and four near
the house occupied by the establishment of Messrs. Turner
and Co.
Notwithstanding the .Taoutae's proclamation, cargo has
not been sent from Canton for the ship laid on for Lisbon,
which has been detained more than two months for her
teas, &c.
The Provincial Government, it is said, are building 30
boats in Canton, under the direction of five Chinese boat-
builders hired in Macao. They are to be double-banked, 28
oars on each side; are to be well armed and equipped for the

THE CHINA EXPEDITION.

The transports Rustomsjee Cowagee and John Adam sailed
at day-light on Tuesday morning, with the Madras portion
of the expedition to the eastward, consisting of as follows :-
1 lieutenant-colonel, 2 captains, 6 lieutenants, 1 surgeon, 1
assistant-surgeon, 2 warrant officers, and 212 European ar-
tillery, 9 of the ordnance and commissariat departments, 8
native commissioned officers and 64 native artillery, 1 cap-
tain, 6 lieutenants, 1 assistant-surgeon, 1 warrant officer, 4
native commissioned, 10 European non-commissioned, 1 as-
sistant-apothecary, and 266 native non-commissioned and
rank and file sappers and miners, with 132 public followers.
—Bombay Times.

Russia, ever sleepless, appears to have her eyes open to the
probable results of the projected British expedition to China.
Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Bth ultimo state that, in
a few weeks, a mission was about to be sent to the Emperor
to the court of Peking.—Bombay Times, April 11.
THE CHINA EXPEDITION.—It appears from general
orders, that spirits will not be issued as rations to the Euro-
pean troops, but in lieu thereof each man will receive a com-
pensation of 3 rupees 2 annas per mensetn—the canteen
system will be established on hoard, but no man will be
allowed to purchase a greater quantity of spirits than two
drams a day.
The European commissioned officers are to have four
months' advance of Day and allowances, and the troops two
months.'—Bengal Hurkaru, April 16th.
