Moxday, Mabchs. House Of Lords.—Scoica M...
he hon . gentleman tstates—asted him —( Lord Talmerston ) whether there would he any objection to such an accommodation . His reply was at once that he did not see any ; and the guns were accordingly delivered . On further consideration it appeared to him that perhaps the Neapolitan government might take a different view ofthe transaction , and accordinsrly the British minister at Naples was told if the matter became the subject of remonstrance , or even observation , to explain how the thing really happened—that the permission to take the guns had Been given inadvertently . Sir . J . Walsh charged the noble lord with assuming an independent line of action , which had been repudiated bv the majority of his colleagues .
3 L-. M'Gregor applauded the conduct ol the Sicilians , and passed a high enlogium on the noble lord for the manner in which he . managed the foreign affairs ofthe country . Mr . J . O ' Coxxell was delig hted to hear the lull reccTUtion , on the part of the noble lord , of the right of nations , when desirous to manage their own aflairs . After this recognition he should ask the noble lord for his vote for legislative freedom for Ireland . , Mr . Heme expressed his delight to hear that the moral power of England was now so great that she could operate upon the rest of Europe by peaceable influences , because it would afford him the opportunity of claiming the noble lord's vote when he ( Mr . Hume ) should p ropose a reduction in ihe army estimates .
Lord J . Russell denied that any difference of Opinion had existed between the noble lord and his oolleagues , on the subject ofthe supply of arms , for so far from the explanation suggested having originated with them , it had emanated from the noble lord himself . As regarded anything being analogous as between the cases of Ireland and Sicily , as suggested by the member for Limerick , the only resemblance was , that Ireland was an island and so was Sicily . Mr , Basses would consent to modify the return ihus : "Account , « fec ., for the purpose of being sent to the Sicilians in arms against her Majesty ' s faithful ally , with the consent of her Majesty ' s Minister for Foreign Affairs . " This proposition , toeing deelmeda division followed , -when the motion was negatived by a majority of 95 - —the numbers being 39 to 134 . The House then adjourned at six o ' clock .
THURSDAY , March 8 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Teanspobtahox axd Discipline of Coxvicts . —Lord Maito . v , pursuant to notice , called the attention of the House to the instructions issued in 1846 , 1847 , and 1848 , with respect to the transpoitation and discipline of convicts . He concluded with a motion for certain returns . Mr . Herbert gave some distressing details respecting the increase of crime and the crowded state of the prisons in Ireland . Sir G . Gbby defended Lord Grey , or rather the government , from the charge of inconsistency . He explained the intentions of the government with regard to the introduction of a new system of penal discipline , and noticed the erroneous impression
which prevailed , that government had abandoned the separate system of imprisonment ; on the contrary , every year ' s experience had added to their conviction ' of its salutary effects . In justifying the continuance of penal labour on public works in this country and near home , as a second stage , he considered the hulks as only a temporary eipeuient . In tho third stage , the removal of convicts from this country , he showed that the system now adopted effected that object more completely than the old . He admitted the evil of the crowded state of the Irish gaols ; the increase of crime was connected with the recent state of that country , and the convicts were mostly of a class unfit for transportation . Sir George then considered the
rather meagre practical suggestions of Lord Mahon , showing the inexpediency of carrying out the scheme of a settlement in 2 few Australia , and of a return to the assignment system , which , in any shape , would be one of slavery . Subject to modification , transportation , as a punishment , would be continued by the Government , which must , however , be allowed a certain degree of discretion . Mr . Hbme complained of the ever-varying plans of convict discipline . The present system of endeavouring to reform criminals at home would fail , and labour was wanted , in the colonies , where the assignment system should be reintroduced . Sir J . Pakixgtox recommended the adoption of the nrincinle of Captain Maconochie ' s plan .
Mr . Gladstone defended the principle of the probation svstem , the horrors of which in "Van Diemen ' s Land resulted from the defective instrumentahty whereby it was carried out . He thought Lord Grey had been guilty of precipitancy—first , with regard to the breaking up of the settlement of Norfolk Island , and carrying the convicts to Van Diemen ' s Land ; and secondly , in sending the convicts of JJew South Wales to Yah Diemen ' s Land , after a pledge given that transportation would not be renewed . Mr . Ewabt , Mr . Alderman Sidney , and Mr . P . Sceope spoke shortly upon some ofthe topics in the question , and Sir G . Gbet gave replies to inquiries put to him . The motion was agreed to .
AORICCT . TURAI . BURTHENS AND GRIEVANCES . — Mr . Disraeli then rose to move certain resolutions declaratory of the nnequsd burdens cast upon real property and the agricultural interests of the country , and pledging the House to take measures which may establish a more equitable apportionment of the public burdens . He said he hoped to induce the House to consent to a great measure of conciliation , of justice , and of policy . Assuming the admission of great agricultural distress in the country , he declined discussing the cause of it , as nnnecessary for his argument , or to enter upon a controversy as to the policy ofthe changes by which , according to Mr . Cobden , the agricultural class had not been fairly treated . He still thought that our
new commercial system was founded upon erroneous princip les , and he shortly enumerated some ofthe reasons upon which he founded that opinion ; but he looked not to a sudden retrogression , but to legitimate means , for remedying the evils of this new system . The question before the House was extremely simple . Kb less than £ 10 , 000 , 000 was levied lastyearby directlocal taxation upon real property , independently of £ 2 , 000 , 000 land-tax ; that is , a direct taxation of £ 13 , 000 , 000 , from which other property was exempt , was levied upon a rental of £ 67 , 000 , 000 . The whole income ofthe country was £ 249 , 000 , 000 ; on what principle of justice could £ 12 , 000 , 000 of local taxation be cast upon little
more than one-fourth of that income ? "Who would suppose that this burden was cast , in the teeth of the law , upon the proud and rapacious aristocracy , who always made laws for their own advantage ? He exposed the confusion of terms which annexed the idea of locality to these taxes , whereas they were of a much wider and more comprehensive character ; and he illustrated this argument by an ingenious exposition of the nature and objects of these so-called local rates ; and the local causes of si-me of our general national taxation . Tbe grievance and anomaly of these two forms of taxation had been long fselt , - and , as a r ° medy , a system of national raring had been recommended ; but to this he objected . He wonld not resist an inquiry into the
subject of the probate a nd legacy duties ; for the result would show that a large proportion was paid by theland , on the property of the farmer ; but this was beside the question as to the justice of throwing £ 12 . 000 , 000 of taxes upon one-fourth of the property of the country ; and if the House would So into committee , be would offer a plan , which was founded in justice , to remedy this inequality . In a spirit of compromise and conciliation , he should propose , the present system of local administration remaining , the present levy of rates continuing , that the local districts should be responsible for one moiety , and that the other should be paid by the Consolidated Fund . Mr . Disraeli then described , inforcible terms , the treacherous manner in which the agricultural interest had been treated on the subject of tbe malt-tax , the repeal of which he , nevertheless , persuaded them not to press for , hut to be content with the measure he proposed—a measure
founded in justice ; and he concluded with an eloquent picture of the claims and wrongs of that interest , of the insults they had received , and the forbearance they had displayed , warning the House , however , that the blood which had refused shipjBoney was cot to be trifled with . Mr . Home said , the remedy proposed by Mr . Disraeli wonld impose upon the tenant-farmers ( of whom he had said nothing ) an additional incemetax . of £ 6 , 000 , 000 . He then showed that theserates were properly laid upon the land , which had been purchased subject to them . He then entered at some length upon ihe general reduction ' of taxation , and concluded by moving an amendment to Mr . Disraeli ' s motion to the effect that , if there be any inequality in the local taxation bearing upon real property , it onght to be removed ; bnt the public expenditure should be reduced so as to permit tbe repeal ofthe duties on malt andhf-ps .
On the motion ofthe Chancellor , of the Exchequer , the debate was adjourned until Wednesday ¦ ext . Mr . Aglionbt obtained leave to bring in a bill to effect the compulsory enfranchisement of lands of copyhold and customary tenure . On the nomination of the Select Committees on the Bribery at Elections Bill , some rather sharp words were exchanged between Colonel Sibthorp and the Attorney-Gekeral . The House adjourned at one o ' clock . From , our Third Edition of last week . )
FRIDAY , March 2 .

at Six o ' clock , when a vote of £ 200 , 000 on account of excess ofnaval expenditure was agreed to . _ - The Prisoners in Kilmainham . —Mr . F O'Connor , asked whether the right hon .. gentleman , the Secretary for the Home Department , was aware whether any papers , of ft seditious anfltrea * sonable character had been found on the six political prisoners confined in the gaol of Kilmainham , and , if so , whether he had any objection to lay them on the table of thehousa ? ( Loud laughter . ) Sir George Grey said it was not consistent with his duty to reply to the question . Rate in Aid . —Upon resuming , the House again resolved itself into committee on the Poor Laws ( Ireland ) , when
Lord J . Rcssell rose to move a resolution , that in each of the next two years a rate in aid for the relief of the poor in Ireland of 6 d . in the pound should be paid by every union ; and in doing so . explained the course which the government intended to pursue with reference to these laws . He began by acknowledging that , although they had realised the object of sustaining the poor in Ireland by means of a rate , evils had arisen from the adoption of this principle , and that in many parts of Ireland the rate imposed a heavy burden . It appeared to the government that although it was a divergence from the principle of the English poor law , it would be expedient to propose a maximum rate , and he had proposed to the
committee that „ the rate should not exceed 5 s . in the electoral division , and , when it wou'd exceed that amount , a rate not exceeding 2 s . should be collectei from the union , making 7 s . in all . The committee , however , though generally favourable to a maximum rate , differed as to the amount ; he therefore withdrew the resolution he hadmoved , and he did not intend now to make any proposition as to amaiimum rate , but should waitfor farther evidence . But it was the decided opinion of the government that a maximum rate was desirable , in ordrr to combine with the relief of destitution the employment of industry . Thealteratiouscon ' emplatedby the Government with reference to the Poor Law were these : — That when agricultural improvements of lands took
place , there should not be , for a certain number of years , not exceeding ten , any increased valuation on account of these improvements . With immediate reference to the resolutions he was about to propose , he stated , as the result of the report of the Poor Law Commissioners , that , out of 131 unions , therewere 20 for which some external aid was absolutely required ; and the question was , whether that aid should be afforded , or whether Parliament deemed it wiser to withhold all relief , and allow these unions to take their miserable chance . After showing that an income-tax would be open to the same objection , on the ground that the Imperial Exchequer was the legitimate resource vindicating the loyalty ofthe people of Ulster , and answering
the tears ot those who apprehended that this rate in aid would become a perpetual charge upon the income of Ireland , he concluded by asking the committee whether they would consent to this mode of relieving the wretchedness of those parts of Ireland which had suffered from the failure of their staple food ; whether they would prefer any other measure ; or whether , lastly , it was the deliberate decision of the House of Commons to deny relief altogether . Mr . Stajtobd opposed tho resolution , arraigning the whole policy or the government with relation to the question of the Irish Poor Law , and wished to know what amount they expected from this rate ; what extent of destitution they anticipated ,
and what resources they looked for in the destitute localities . He warned the House of the effects which this measure would produce in Ulster , and ofthe evils of administering a local tax by local machinery . Mr . J . O'Coxxell dissented from Mr . Stafford's theory of property rating , but found little ground for hope in the plan of Lord J . Russell , though he should net vote against it until he heard a better plan proposed .. He thought the people of Ulster , who had their tenant right , had less reason to complain of this rate in aid than the poor ratepayers of Leinster and Munster ; but an appropriation of surplus church property , a tax upon absentees , aud credit for the income-tax and other imposts which Irishmen paid , would render a rate in aid
unnecessary . Lord Bernard urged the injustice of taxing poor ratepayers in Ireland , upon the ground that the affluent in that country were exempt from property ane assessed taxes . If there was an inequality in the taxation of the two countries let it be remedied , but not made the ground of a tax vicious in principle and ruinous in its effects . Mr . Fagax deprecated allusion to differences between classes in Ireland . He maintained that the relief required should come from the Imperial
resources . Ireland was a creditor of England , not a debtor to her ; and Manchester was more interested in the prosperity of Cork and "Wexford than Dublin was . He was , however , favourable to this national rate in aid , knowing the destitution of 200 , 000 of hiscountrymen , and seeing the reluctance of this House to make further g rants ; but it would require great quahfications to make it a perfect measure . Mr . Baxees was sure that if Lord J . Russell had unfolded his scheme the night before , and tbe house had found that after all that had been done for
Ireland we were to advance more money and tako as security the chance of this rate in aid—which some members said the Irish people could not pay , and others that they would not—he would not have got his committee . Mr . Moxsell trusted that the obvious injustice of singling out property in so lamentable a condition as that which was to be solely taxed , would prevail upon the House to reject the proposition . The Chaxcellor of the Exchequer said , that some members , in their zeal against this proposition , seemed to have lost sight of tbe pressing
emergency of the case , official documents stating that in the west of Ireland , without assistance to the local resources , large numbers of the people would be in a state of starvation . The mode of this relief , by means of a temporary national rate , bad been actually suggested for other purposes . 2 Jo objection was offend to a national rate for assisting emigration ; then what became of the objection on princi ple that it was unjust that the farmers of Ulster should be taxed for the relief of destitution in Connaught , when they did not refuse to assist emigration there ?
Mr . Osborne moved to report progress , and Lord J . Russell assenting , the Chairmax obtained leave to sit again on Monday . The Petty Sessions Bill underwent some discussion in committee . The House adjourned , at a quarter to one o ' clock , until Monday .

A Judicial Tiger Is His Lair.—Capture Of...
A Judicial Tiger is his Lair . —Capture of Judge Jeffreys . —A scrivener , who lived at "Wapping , and whose trade it was to furnish the seafaring men there with money at high interests , had some time before lost a sum on bottomry . The debtor applied to equity for relief against his own bond ; and tbe cause came before Jeffreys . The counsel for the borrower , having little else to say , said that the lender was a trimmer . The Chancellor instantly fired . "A trimmer ! where is he ? Let me see him . I have heard of that kind of monster—what
is it made like ? The unfortunate creditor was obliged to stand forth . The Chancellor glared fiercely on him , stormed at him , and sent him away half dead with fright . "While I live , " the poor man said , as he tottered out ofthe court , " I shall never forget that terrible countenance . " And now the day of retribution had arrived . The trimmer was walking through Wapping , when he saw a wellknown face looking out of a window of an ale-house . He could not be deceived . The eyebrows indeed had been shaved away . The dress was that of a common sailor from Newcastle , and was black with coal-dust , but there was no mistaking the savage eye and mouth of Jeffreys . The alarm was given . In a moment the house was surrounded by hundreds of-people shaking bludgeons and bellowing curses .
ihe fugitive slue was saved by a company of trainbands , and he was carried before the Lord Mayor ( Sir John Chapman ) When the great man , at whose frown , a few days before .-the whole kingdom had trembled , was dragged into the justiceroom , begrimed with ashes , half dead with fri ght , and followed by a raging multitude , the a gitations ofthe unfortunate mayor rose to a height . He fell into fits , and was carried to his bed , whence he never rose . Meanwhile , the throng without was constantly becoming more numerous and more savage . Jeffreys begged to be sent to prison . An order to that effect was procured from the lords who were sitting at Whitehall ; and he was conveyed in a carriage to the Tower . Two regiments of militia were drawn out to escort him , and found this duty a difficult one . It was repeatedly necessary for them to form , as if for the purpose of repelling a charge of cavalry , and to present a forest
of pikes to the mob , Tho thousands who were disappointed of their revenge pursued tho coach , with howls of rage , to the gate of the Tower , brandishing cudgels , and holding up halters full in the prisoner ' s view . The wretched man , meantime , was in convulsions of terror . He wrung his hands ; he looked wildly out , sometimes at one window sometimes at the other , and was heard even above the tumult crying , " Keep them off , gentlemen ; For God ' s sake keep them off ; " At length , having suffered far more than the bitterness ot death , he was safely lodged in the fortress where some of his most illustrious victims had passed their best days , and where his own life was destined to close in unspeakable ignominy and horror . —Macaulatfs History of England . Mr . Smith O'Bbte-x . —The infant son of Mr . Wm . Smith O'Brien was christened last week in Richmond Penitentiary . All the state prisoners confined with Mr . Smith O'Brien were present at the ceremony except Mr , O'Donohoe .

Lambeth.—Alleobo Cruel Tx To A Child —H....
LAMBETH . —Alleobo Cruel tx to a Child —H . ^ t ?" ' * 1 £ ™ rness of theRational Infant School , m Dorset-street , South Lambeth , was charged with having placed a child , three years old ? named Hughes , upon a heated stove , whereby it was severely injured . Three children were examined ; two of them of eight and the other six years of a <** e , and one of them , an intelligent little boy , deposeoftc having seen the governess , Miss Martin , take up little Hughes and place him sitting on the top ofthe stove . The child cried a good deal . —Mr . Evans , the medical gentleman , who had been called in to examine the child , deposed to the injuries inflicted , and said , that having examined the stove in the school-room he was certain the child had been
, placed on it . The life of the child was at present in great danger . —Mr . Games , on behalf of theehild ' s p arents , applied for a remand to a future dayv—Mr Humphries did not object to the application . It was tho wish of the guardians ; of mo . schools by whom he was instructed to appear , though he . could only do so as the advocate of Miss Martin , that the most searching investigation should take place . — Mr . Norton complied with Mr .. Games ' s request ; but said , that as the case had assumed a much more serious aspect , he must have bail for tbe appearance of Miss Martin—herself in £ 100 and two sureties in £ 59 each , The required sureties were entered into , and the accused was liberated . —On Tuesday , Mr . Humphreys , who attended for the accused , said
that , naving received the authority of Miss Martin to do so , he felt it to be his duty to make a statement of the facts as they really occurred . . The child entered the school wet and crying , and Miss Martin thoughtlessly took him up and placed him on the top of the stove , regardless at the moment whether it was a stove or a seat . The child did not cry at the moment ; but , when he did , Miss Martin , seeing the nature and extent of the injuries , and fearing also that the circumstance might affect the interests ofthe school , or that she mi ght lose her situation , foolishly denied her guilt in the first instance , and persisted in her statement ., Jn conclusion , Mr . Humphreys said he had the pleasing duty to add , that by a certificate which he would read ,
it would be found that the life ofthe child was out of danger , and Miss Martin would be in attendance on the day appointed to meet the charge . —Mr . Games said , he "wished he could join Mr . Humphreys in the belief that j-he child was out of daagevy , en the contrary , he was sorry to say that Mr . Evans had seen him the day before , and considered him in great danger , —Mr , Norton remarked , that he did not think Miss Martin had put herself in a wo rse position by making the acknowledgment she had , and hero the matter dropped . BOW-STREET . —Alleged Attempt to Murder . —Mary Anne Milley , wife of a man who keeps a small shop in Great Wild-street , Lincoln s-mnfields . was nlaced at the bar before Mr . Henry ,
charged with stabbing her husband in the neck with a large case knife , from the effects of which hisllfo is in danger . —Charles Lane , a labouring man , stated that on Saturday night he was standing at . ! the prisoner ' s door , about eight o ' clock , at wliich time her husband was sitting at a fire in the room at the rear ofthe shop . They both appeared to bounder the influence of liquor , and the prisoner having taken the large knife produced from the rack , went into her husband , and , with a backhanded blow , stabbed him in the neck , which instantly caused the blood to flow profusely . Her husband , after rising from his chair , came to the shop door and told witness that he had been wounded by tho prisoner . Witness immediately conveyed hhn to the shop of
Mr . Gray , in Drury-lanc , while the prisoner followed , with the knife in her hand , without making any observation until she entered the doctor ' s shop , and then she said , "I did it , and I had just cause for doing it . " He had known them both for , about four years , and that they , were of drunken , habits , but he eould not ascertain the cause of their quarrel . —Mr . Gray ' s assistant said that tho wound was in a horizontal direction , about half an inch deep , such as might be inflicted with the instrument produced , dividing a main artery , and had it been a quarter of an inch further it must have touched tho jugular vein , which must have caused instant death . Tho prisoner followed her husband into the shop , shaking the knife in a threatening manner , and saying , "I have done it , as he has abused me . " She hada black eye , and appeared very much excited , and while the man was having his wounds dressed he expressed a
wish that she should be taken into custody . —Mr . Henry inquired if any one was in attendance from the hospital?—The officer replied that the housesurgeon was at present unable to attend , but he told him that it was impossible as yet to form any opinion of the wounded man ' s condition . —The prisoner , hiving received the usual caution from the magistrate , said that contrary to her wishes her husband had become a dog fancier , and about two years back he broke her jaw , because he did not approve ofthe manner she attended to a dog . Her husband was in the habit of spending the money at public-houses which she received in the shop , and although she had thrown the knife at him during his drunkeness , it was because he assaulted her , and blackened her eye , as it appeared . —Mr . Henry said he should have tho evidence of some persons from the hospital , and ordered the prisoner to bs remanded for that purpose .
SOUTHWARK . — Attempted Escape from Horsemonger-Laxe Gaol . —George Lord and Jane Mrrgan were brought up for re-examination , charged on suspicion of an attempt to aid and assist hi the escape of some of the prisoners from the county gaol , —A few nights ago , at a late hour , the prisoners were discovered in an enclosed piece of ground under the walls of the above gaol , from which they tried to make then- escape , but were pursued and taken into custody . Upon the return of tbe policeman to the spot where the prisoners had first been observed , he found several articles
constructed for the purpose of communicating with the inmates of the prison , and amongst them two bags attached to an article like a fishing rod , capable of being put over the walls . In the bags were some letters written b y the inmates , and , from this and other circumstances it was strong ly , suspected that the prisoners were there for the purpose of assisting in the escape of some of them , and it was strengthened from the fact of tbe woman Morgan having a son in prison for being engaged in tbe late Chartist riots . —The prisoners , who denied that they knew anything about the articles discovered under the walls ofthe
gaol , were held to bail . WORSHIP-STREET . —As Innocent Victim . — T . Johnson , an elderly man of sedate and imposing appearance , who stated himself to be in independent circumstances , was placed at the bar for final examination , charged with having feloniously appropriated various articles , the property of numerous tradesmen in all parts ofthe metropolis . In consequence of the proceedings on tho first examination having obtained publicity , a host of tradesmen now presented themselves , and complained that they had also been victimised by the prisoner , and were prepared to substantiate fresn charges against him . Tho first additional charge was brought forward by Mr . John Watson , an ironmonger in Judd-street ,
Brunswick-square , who stated that in the early part of last month the prisoner called at his shop , and representing that ne held a lucrative appointment at Somerset-House , selected a variety of articles , which he requested might be sent with him- at once to his residence , 24 , Tonbridge-street . Witness himself accompanied his lad with a portion of the order , but as they were proceeding in the direction indicated , the prisoner insisted upon relieving him of part of his load , and took possession of a coffee biggin , but had only carried it a short distance , when he intimated that he had occasion to turn for a moment down a dark entry , and that he would overtake them before tbey reached their destination . The prisoner , however , failed to rejoin them , and
having . ascertamed at his pretended address that nothing was known of such a person , he . hastened back in search of his customer , but saw nothing more of him until he saw him in . custody at this court . The next charge was . -preferred by Mr . Richard Smith , an ironmonger , in the Queen ' s-road , Chelsea , who was favoured with a / visit from the prisoner about a month since , under the same circumstances . Another case was proved against him by Mr . E . Lawrence , a china-dealer , in Goawell-road , to whom he had given his address at 25 , jMyddleton-sqiiare ; and that prosecutor was succeeded by Mr . Henry Monger , a / hardware dealer in the Borough , and Mr . John Piper , of Beech-street , Barbican , each of whom positivel y identified the prisoner as having obtained various goods by means of a similar stratagem , the last offence havimr been
committed only a few hours after he bad been liberated upon bail from this court . —While each successive witness was under examination , the gesticulations of the prisoner , expressive of mingled indignation and astonishment , were most amusing ; and after several cases had been established , he , at length , exclaimed , "Well , really this is most remarkable . I could not help thinking , at the outset , that the first two or three witnesses were indulging in the most wicked and wilful fabrications , for some t'urposes of their own ; but as it does not seem very ikely . that all tho others would join the conspiracy , lean only conclude that the whole of these good people have really been scandalously swindled by
some unprincipled rogue , bearing a personal resemblance to myself , and whom they actually believe to be me . " Having thus delivered himself , the prisoner assumed an attitude of lofty composure and listened to the relation of his subsequent delinquencies with the air of an immaculate martyr , who had resigned himself to endure in silence the unmerited obloquy and persecution of an injurious world . —Several other tradesmen pressed forward to g ive evidence , but the magistrates considered that there was amply sufficient to secure the ends of justice , and five conclusive cases havin <» been reduced to depositions the prisoner was committed for trial , protesting his innocence to the last , and declaring himself to be one of the many ill-used

victims among the countless cases of mistaken identity . m „ _ , MARYLEBONE . — Thb Cur of London Trade Protection Society and the TowzeryGang . — G . Hall was charged with having caused an obstation to foot passengers .-xVJr . T . A . Sidders deposed that on the same morning he opened a shop at 15 . Vere-street , Cavendish-square , for the sale of Shawls , Silks , and other goods , and that between eleven andt welve o ' clockhe saw prisoner just off the kerb directly fac-ng the p remises and he continued to walk to and fro for a considerable period . He . had two immense placards , one m front and the other behind him ; aiid in his hand a number of bills , which he distributed to ladies . One of the said bills
was here banded to the magistrate ; it ran thus :-'Towzery Gang . —Caution . —The public are respectfully cautioned against the attempts ot a gang of strolling drapers , known as the Towzery gang , who are getting up fraudulent sale * for the purpose of imposing on the public .-By order of the Comnu" tee of the City of London Trade Protection Society . — ( Signed ) H . Owen , Secretary . '—A constable stated that the prisoner had followed Mr . Sidders about to various places in and around town , where he ( Mr . Sidders ) had been selling . —Mr . Rutter contended that no offence had been proved against ] tho prisoner under the Police Act . The society for which he appeared had considered it necessary to adopt such steps as mig ht have the effect of putting the public
upon their guard , as it was well known that a set of men were going about selling goods which were nut what they purported to be , and thereby injuring the fair and honest trader . The man charged had received express crders not to go on the pavement but to stand in the road to deliver the bills ; and it had been shown that he had not disobeyed the instruc tions given to him . —A printed bill issued by the Complaining party was put in , and the premises were described as the Oriental Room ? , for the sale of satin dresses , shawls , & c , the proprietors being Messrs . Moody and Co . It was svt forth that they had the largest stock of any firm in London , and
they had no connexion with any other sale—Mr . Broughton expressed his decided opinion that the society had acted wrongly , and that their handbill , which * he had read , was a libel . There was nothing before him to show that complainant was a fraudulent dealer , and the course wbich had been pursued , with th' ! view of preventing parties froni eoing to the shop , was of such a nature as to be calcu ' ated to cause a breach of the peace : it was in the power of complainant to prefer an indictment for a libel . The magistrate then ordered the prisoner to find surety for keeping the peace towards complainant for three months . The bail required was given , and the prisoner was liberated .

On Monday orders were despatched from the Horse-Guai'da to the various district Generals , to suspend the recent orders for the discharge of men from the army . This is owing to the indecisive nature ofthe last Indian news , as most probably more troops will go to Bengal from this country , and thus tliis service will absorb a portion of the contemplated reduction of 7 , 000 rank and file . — Daily News .

Astley's Amphitheatre. A Very Important ...
ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE . A very important addition has been made to tbe amusements in the circle of this theatre by the engagement of a young American equestrian , named Hernandez , who appeared for the first time on Monday ni ght . Even the feats which he achieves ia common with other performers gained a novelty by the perfect ease and finish with which he executed Ihem . Generally the very best artists of the class make a bitch or two in the course of an evening though they always repeat their attempts
till every proposed difficulty is solved . This young Hernandez , on the contrary , never sa much as approached a failure ; while the most dating leaps were taken without a show of effort , and with a cheerful smiling countenance . Judging from his appearance , we should say he was under fourteeen years of age ; but , young as he is , he has brought an elegance and a ' poetry of motion' into the art of equitation which has for a long time been unknown at Astley ' s . He was twice called , amid raptures of applause , by a crowded audience .
Wonders Of The White Nile.—It Is, Perhap...
Wonders of the White Nile . —It is , perhaps , hardly necessary to remind the reader , that the river Nile is formed of two confluent streams , the Blue and the White , whose junction is in South Nubia , between 15 deg . and 10 dcg . of north latitude . The source of the Blue Nile was ascertained by Bruce , and by subsequent travellers , to be in the mountains of Abyssinia ; but the course of the other branch , which is by far the longest , had been followed , until very lately , only as far south as 10 deg . or 11 deg . north latitude . Even now tho river has not been traced to its origin , although Mr . Werne and his companions penetrated to 4 deg . north latitude . - Further they could not go , owing to the rapid subsidence of the waters . The
expedition had been delayed six weeks by tho cul pable dilatorincss of one of its members ; and this was fatal to the realisation of its object . We can conceive few things more exciting than such a voyage as Mr . Werne has accomplished and recorded . Starting from the outposts of civilisation , he sailed into the very heart of Africa , up a stream whose upper waters were then , for the first time , furrowed by vessels larger than a savage ' s canoe—a stream of such gigantic proportions , that its width , at a thousand miles from the sea , gave it the aspect of a lake rather than of a river . The brute creation were in proportion with the magnitude of tho water-course . The hippopotamus reared his huge snout above tbe surface , and wallowed in the gullies that on either
hand run down to the stream ; enormous crocodiles gaped along the shore ; elephants played in herds upon the pastures ; the tall giraffe stalked amongst the . lofty palms ; large snakes lay coiled in slimy swamps ; and ant-hills , ten feet high , towered above rushes . Along the thickly-peopled banks hordes of savages showed themselves , gazing in wonder at tho strange ships , and making ambiguous gestures , variously construed by the adventurers as si gns of friendship or hostility . Alternately sailing and towing , as tho wind served or not ; constantl y in sight of natives , but rarely communicating with them ; often cut off lor days from land by
interminable fields of tangled weeds ; the expedition pursued its course through innumerable perils , guaranteed from most of them by the liquid rampart on which it floated . Lions looked hungry , and savages shook their spears , but neither showed a disposition to swim off and board the flotilla . —Blackwood . Malta , February 25 . —An artillery soldier shot himself on Friday last ; he put his musket under his chin , but it is supposed to have slipped on touching the trigger , as the ball and fire blew off his chin , mouth , and nose . He lies in a horrible state . Last night , at half-past eight , a soldier of the 69 th shot himself whilst on sentry at the palace . He is said to be dead .

COM . Fmday , March 2 . —There is a good arrival of foreign wheat this week , which would have been larger but for the contrary vrinds which have provaded . In the tvade thera has been no activity to-day , and wheat prices are again in favour of the buyers ; to make any considerable progress in sales lower prices would have resulted . Flour continues to be neglected , and prices nearly nominal . lSarley is as dull as wheat , and the value of any but prime maltine qualities Is rather less than on Monday . Feeding barley in very limited demand . Malt is similarly affected , and must be quoted the turn lower . Although there is a small supply of oats , it is adequate to the demand , as the dealers prefer waiting for further arrivals ; so slow is tho demand , that the best corn only maintains previous values and inferior are nearly Cd cheaper to effect sales . Beans ' peas , rye , and tares are in limited request , at-about previl ous rates . _ . _
Mabk-lake , Monday , March 5 . —We had a small arrival of English wheat at this morning ' s market but several vessels with foreign from the near ports having arrived in the course ofthe rooming , the trade was very dull , and English Is cheaper ; foreign was held at previous rates but little business done . Plow slow sale , and Is per sack and barrel cheaper . Fine malting barley without alteration - , inferior and grinding qualities offered at lower rates Malt very dull . Beans dull , and peas Is to 2 s cheaper . In Bye very little doing . Of tares there were &«•«• buyers than last week . The supply of oats was moderate fine samples unaltered m value , but inferior light qualities difficult of sale . In cloverseed we had not much doing but we cannot quote any change in price .

CATTLE . PjsidAT , March 2 . — The supply of meat at market this morning was short , of all kinds , and partly in consequent ! of which the tone of trade was better . The weather being favourable , contributed tawards the improvement . Prices remained the same as on last market-day ; but veal was 4 d per stone higher , owing to un unusually Small supply . Smituheld , Monday , March 5 . —The numbers of foreign stock in to-day ' s market were by no means extensive , yet they were quite adequate to the wants of the butchers . The beasts from Holland were in better condition ¦• „ but those from Spain , which comprised 80 head , beinjj » por . tion of the cargo from abroad , were very deficient in-qua . lity . There was a further slight falling off in the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning- from our principal grazing districts . As the dead markets have been tolerably well
cleared of the country supplies , and as the attendance' of buyers was tolerably good , the beef trade ruled steady at fully Friday ' s advance in the quotations of 2 d perSfts . The general top figure for beef was 3 s 8 d , yet a few very superior Scots sold at 3 s lOd per Sftis . Prior to tlie elost ' of the market , a fair clearance was effected by the salts , men . We had a very moderate supply of sheep on offer . This circumstance somewhat favoured the mutton trade , which ruled firm , and prices were quite 2 d per Stbs higher than this day se ' nnight . The primest old downs , in the wool , sold steadily at 4 s Sd—out of the wool , 4 s per Sltis . There were about 800 shorn sheep on offer . Calves , though in good supply , moved off steadily at extreme quotations ; viz ., from 4 s to 5 s per Stbs—being the same figures as those paid on Friday last , In pigs , only a limited business was transacted ; prices , however , were firnuy supported in evcry
