committing themselves to it . If they were anxious to do justice to the colonies , let them give them that protection to which they were entitled , and -which Canada , as well as the others , had demanded . But the question was not a mere commercial onethe purpose for which the navigation laws were established and maintained was of even greater importance than mere commerce—it was the advantage -the safety of the state . Mr . Drcmmo . nd said he had found throughout the country great misapprehension as to the real nature of this measure ; and it was not too much to say that he thought it possible there might be some members of that House also labouring under the sime misapprehension . In fact the
measure now before them , translated out of the official jargon in which it was couched , and put into honest English , was simply this—that it was the last of a series -of measures inculcated by tne Manchester school , and the end and intention oi which was to discharge British , hibourers an < i employ foreign labourersin their stead <*^« JJ * 7 from the Protectionists . ) He would n ^^ ffi the details of those measures . It ^ JJ ^ « J * £ that day that wc were to have * W fiJ | f Btead of Briash-foreign « W ^ S * g £ British . ( Hear . ) He might , in fact , goJttrwgb the whole catahWe of labour m the same way , au fitoSKta advantage * "" g ^ SS ^ the Manchester cotton spinners , ine country confiufer ^ t tob ^ uestionof mere trade and commS But it affected essentially , and much more , in this than other
Se class of labourers country any fueSn that could be named . ( Hear , hear ) Mr Heme expressed his astonishment at this ohgervation . It v ? as the interest of the labourers to obtain employment , and what brought employment but increase of trade , which was checked and impeded by these laws ? He hailed the measure as a means of putting capital into activity , and thereby creating a demand for labour . Mr . Brcmmoso looked upon the measure as one of a series emanating from the Manchester school , the end and intention of which was to discharge British in order to g ive employment to foreign workmen , Mr . Hume held that the removal of all monopolies , whether in corn or shipping , was beneficial to the industry of this country . So far from America refusing to reciprocate , he believed Mr . Bancroft had intimated to Lord Palmerston that his government were prepared to give perfect reciprocity .
Mr . Baskes agreed with Mr . Drummond that Free Trade was a policy for the depression of the British labourer . He believed the colonies would much rather wait for the turn in public opinion , which was fast progressing , to give them a better and fairer system of legislature , than owe an advantage to a measure which would entail a serious evil on the whole empire . Colonel Thompson advocated the Free Trade policy generaBy , and contended that the argument that it was necessary to maintain the navigation laws for the sake of the national defences , was as much as to say that it was worth while to give a shilling for sixpennyworth in return . A military marine depended on other things than the merchant navy—as tor instance , on the g eneral wealth ofthe country—and even sailors might be bought too dear .
The debate was continued hy Mr . R . C . Hildtabd , Mr . J . L . Ricahdo , Alderman Thompson , Mr . Mitchell , Mr . Ronrxsos , Sir Jons Ttkhell , and the Marquis of Ghaxby ; and ran very much in the current of a general Free Trade discussion . At the close Mr . Labocchere stated that the government , during the recess , had communicated to foreign powers the purport of this measure , and had endeavoured to obtain from them a general notion ofthe course they proposed to take , and the correspondence would very shortly he laid before the House . The resolution was agreed to , and reported to the House , and a bQl founded thereon was ordered i © be brought in . Habeas Cobpcs Suspension ( Ireland ) . —On the order ofthe day for the consideration of the report on this bill .
Mr . J . O'Contceli . satd , he hoped that it would not be proceeded with at that hour ( ten minutes to six ) . Sir G . Grey wished to take this stage , in order that the third reading might he fixed for Friday . Mr . J . O'Conkeu . said , then he should propose that the report be considered that day six months . The Speakeb informed the hon . member that he could not move that amendment . If he had any clause to propose , according to the new rules of the House , it might be received . Mr . J . O'Connell said tha t , in that case , he would move as an instruction the clause which he had proposed in committee ; but he would allow the government to fix tins and the remaining orders of
the day on the papers for the following day , if he were not deprived of his right of speaking upon this stage Sir G . Gret said it was competent for the hon . fentleman to speak until six o ' clock , and , as the [ ouse would then adjourn , the three orders would stand for the following day . Mr . J . O'Conneli , said , in that case he should speak with great pleasure . ( A laugh . ) The hon . and learned member then proceeded to address the House , but , from the noise ocasioned by hon . members leaving , he was not heard in the gallery before The Speaker intimated to him that the hour of six had arrived , and that the House would adjourn . The Hoase adjourned accordingly .
THURSDAY , Feb . 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-Their lordships met at five o ' clock . The Duke of Richmond presented a petition against the endowment of the Roman Catholics in Ireland . The Bishop of Oxford presented several petitions praying for an alteration of the law for the punishment for the fraudulent seduction of women . The Right Rev . Prelate laid on the table a bill to effect this purpose , which was read a first time ; and gave notice that he should propose that it be read a second time after the Easter recess . "L ord Brougham moved that the Criminal Law Consolidation Bill andthe Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Bill be read a second time . The bills were then read a second time and ordered to be committed .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Speaker took { he chair at four o ' clock . After the lapse of two or three minutes—during which nothing was done except the presentation of two private petitions by Mr . Hesry Berkeleythe House wascounted ; and there being only twentyfour members present , the House adjourned . ( From our Third Edition oflastwetl . ) FRIDAY , Feb . 9 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Marquis of IJansdowke moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the administration of the Poor Law in Ireland . From the notoriety of circumstances with which they were a-1 familiar it was unnecessary for bira to make out wh -t was called a Parliamentary case for this Committee . The Irish Poor Law had been introduced as a great experiment full of danger
in a tune of unparalleled distress ; and , though he wasgrieved , hewasnotat all surprised to learn that its operation had been impeded by almost insuperable difficulties . Some peop ' e seemed disposed to condemn the measure altogether , but though it had failed in some parte of Ireland , it bad been eminently successful in others . A great many changes had also been proposed in its provisions , and amongst others the modiheation of the electoral districts , but on all these points he beeped the Houss to suspend its judgment until the Committee had an opportunity of considering the matter . Lord Stanxey , though he did not intend to offer any epposition to the motion , couM not reftain from expressing his opinion that the appointment of a committee would only cause unnecessary delay , and ultimately be productive of no good .
Aster some further debate the motion was then agreed to . and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Habeas Corpus Act in Ibeiand . —After disposing of the private business , motions and questions , the House proceeded to the second reading of the hill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland . Mr . O'Fiahirtt opened the debate by declaring hi * opinion that to continue a coercive policy in Ireland unaccompanied by remedial measures would endanger rather than secure the peace ofthe country , and entail upon England a necessity for large pecuniary grants from time to time to preserve the people from starvation . Mr . Sidejkb , though he had voted for the bill last Tear , could not do so now , as the reasons which thtn
justified the measure no longer existed , fie blamed Ministers for neglect in not having originated measures for promoting the investment of capital in Ireland and relieving the resident landowners , and sug . gested that the Bank of Ireland should he enib ed to lead their surplos capital on the security of the laaL and that the management of college lands should be improved so as to put an end to the system of middle-men . He complained of the Incumbered E-tales Act as tending to throw a large portion of the land into the Court of Chancery , and concluded by moving the postponement of the second reading for six months . Sir H . . Bakeon and Mr . SnumcAX Crawford
opposed the bilL Colonel Thompson said , be should reluctantly vote for the fail , bat only in the hope that its duration might be limited to a less period than six months . Mr . Osborne thought thatan unnecessary amount of adulation had been offered to Lord Clarendon , and , after arraigning the whole policy of Lord John Kussell ; and . taunting that noble lord with his recent overtures to Sir James Graham , who bad separated from Mm on the Irish Church question , declared that he would not vote for the continuance of this bill a day longer upon guch reasons as those contiined in the disgraceful letter of the Lord-Lieutenant . . Mr . BsYjtPiPS likewise opposed the oil ' .
Monday, Feb. 12. Tfou^E Of Lobds.—This H...
Mr . Trelawney looked on the opposition as a sham on » , and charged Irish members with attempting to thwart public business , unless that business was a grant of money for Ireland . In reply to Mr . Rochb , , ^ . , . _ . Sir W . Somerville denied that the design of this measure was to put down any l ^ «* ¥ *; tion in Ireland , like that of Mr . \ ° ' °° ™^ * n * eal ofthe union . It was merely a precautionary m T ^ UTrr Aii DE Hamilton blamed Ministers for , Ji ° ii £ Se of Ireland into a system of
agitaura .... ~ - r r it j , y violent means . * Mr J O'WSed [ with satisfaction the exposition ^ this measure given by Sir W . Somerijlle namely , that it was not mtended to interfere with a constitutional agitation for a repeal of the Union . He should , however , propose an instruction to the committee to introduce a provision in the bid securing to the peop le of frelandthe ri g ht to meet and petition for redress of grievances , After speeches by Mr . Humb , Mr . Grattan , and Mr . Disraeli ,
Lord Johk Russell replied on behalf of the government . "With reference to putting down agitatation , he said , the hon . gentleman ( Mr . Disraeli ) , I think excusably enough after the speechof the hon . member for Limerick ( Mr . J . 0 ' Council ) , supposes that certain parties are to he allowed to conduct their agitation free from any danger from this bill . But such was not the declaration of my right hon . friend . ( Hear . ) An hon . member ( Mr . Boche ) said that this bill was aimed at all constitutional discussion , that petitions could not be proposed nor grievances complained of if it were to pass , and that the obvious intent and object of it was to destroy all constitutional and political discussion in Ireland ; my right hon . friend , in answer , said , that such was not the object , and
such would not he the effect of the bill —( hear , hear)—that it was aimed at agitation connected with treasonable practices , and that discussion aimed at a redress of grievances , discussion constitutional in itself , with a view to seek from Parliament measures beneficial to Ireland , was not intended to be prohibited , and could not be prohibited , under the terms of the bill . ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . member for Limerick ( Mr . J . 0 'Council ) , adroitly enough certainly , but not with a very fair inference from my ri g ht hon . friend ' s speech , said that he understood that the association with which he was connected could not come under the operation of this bill [ Mr . J . O ' Con-NEtir— " The agitation" ] , —the aritation .- ^ and
therefore half his objections were removed . Dpon that I must say very plainly , that the bill itself contemplates treasonable designs and treasonable practices , but the power to imprison persons [ suspected of them is to be placed in the hands of the Lord-Lieutenant . I have had much conversation with the Lord-Lieutenant during the existence of the present law , as to agitation ; and I know his mind is that any agitation ought to be carefully watched —( hear);—that agitation which tends merely to the p roduction , the fair production of a petition , is agitation which he ought not , - and has not the power to prevent —( hear ) , — -but that the meetings of an association which is likely to fall very rapidly into a club and a conspiracy —( hear . )
—and tends immediately to lead to treasonable practices —( hear , )—ought in his opinion , and I will add in my opinion , to be carefully watched —( hear , hear , ) —and if those treasonable practices should , in my opinion he carried on , it will be his bounden duty to secure the peace of the country by the application of the powers ofthe act . ( Much cheering . ) Mr . J . 0 Cossell . —Does the noble lord impute to me treasonable practices or treasonable designs ? ( "Order , order , " Hear , hear . " ) Lord J . Russell . —The hon . member asks me that question ; I will answer it . ( Cheers . ) My opinion is that he would wish to carry on what he may think a wholesome , what I may think a pernicious agitation , —( hear , hear)—without any
intention of committing treason or leading to treasonable practices . But , seeing what I saw with regard to the association of which he was the leader last year , and in which , although he was the leader , he was left in a very small minority-slaughter ) , —the large majority of those who acted with him declaring that "moral force" was altogether a delusion" [ Mr . J . O'Coskeix . — "No . " ]—and that they concurred with some confederation over the way of which physical force and rebellion were the doctrine , and intended to be the practice —( hear ) , — I should have no confidence in the safety of any association which the hon . gentleman was to set up in Dublin . I acquit him personally , I acquit him fully and sincerely of any treasonable design or
practice , but I am not prepared to say that those whom he would assemble would be equally innocent ; and Ido believe that any association of which he was the head would he very likely to become liable to the penalties of the act . ( Loud cries of "Hear , hear . ) I have answered his question fairly ; he may now take what course he likes with respect to this bill ; he may make , if he pleases , the other half of his speech ( a laugh ); but I will not conceal from him what I think may he the effect of his bill . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir R . Peel could not vote for the second reading of the hill without reluctance , as it was calculated
to restrain the personal liberties of a portion of the people , hut he believed it to be necessary to prevent the renewal of those rebellious attempts which had so recently distracted Ireland . He did not believe , notwithstanding some honourable members had vouched their credit for the fact , that these factious designs were entirely repressed or abandoned ; but he could not declare that he gave his support to measures of this nature from any confidence in the men by whom they had been propounded . After a few words from Mr . Moore , in opposition to the measure , the second reading was carried , on a division , by a majority of 275 to 33 .

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS . prance . Paris , Thursday morning . —Last evening M . Senard ' s first amendment on M . Lanjuinais' proposition for the dissolution of the National Assembly was rejected by a majority of 424 to 387 ; majority for Ministers , 37 . The whole of the other amendments were then withdrawn , and Lanjuinais' proposition was adopted , without any further change . The new Legislative Assembly will , consequently , meet about the middle of May . The following important news is given by the Patrie of last night . " We have good reason for believing that news was received in Paris to-day , that on the 8 th , at tffop . ni ., a Republic was proclaimed at Rome , and that on the same day the dethronement of the Pope was pronounced . "
Ths Patrie adds that it has been ascertained that it is at St . Stephano the Grand Duke of Tuscany has taken refuge .
DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES . INTERVENTION OF BNGI . AND AGAINST RUSSIA . Letters from Constantinople , ofthe 25 th January , state , that the British Ambassador ia Turkey , Sir Stratford Canning , acting in concert with the Grand Vizier and the Minister for Foreign Affairs , has protested against the occupation of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia by the Russians , and demanded that the Russian army should retire behind the Prutb , in conformity with the circular of Count Nesselrode ofthe 19 th of July , and with the provisions of the treaty of 1840 , which guarantees the independence and integrity ef the
Ottoman Empire . France , it is said , joins England and Turkey in this proceeding . It would appear that Lord Palmerston has for sometime been watching the progress of Russian intrigue in the East , and having discovered that , under the pretence of establishing order in the Principalities , Russia contemplated a permaneit military occupation o < Wallachia and Moldavia , offering to Turkey as a bribe a treaty resembling in its provisions that of UnkiarSkelessi , he immediately directed Sir Stratford Canning to interfere and put a step to the negotiations , an interference at which , it is hardl y necessary to add , the Sultan and his Ministers are most delighted .
Ignorant Obstwact.—Iu Was Mentioned The ...
Ignorant Obstwact . —Iu was mentioned the other day , at a coroner ' s invest , that an Irishman had ; perished in University College Hospital from ignorant obstinacy . A hone had stuck in his throat ; at the hospital , tracheotomy was reeommsnded as the only but certain method of saving the man ' s life . To encourage him , a patient was brought before him who had just undergone the operation . The sufferer said that he should consult his relatives before he gave an answer . His relatives , all Irish , were rent for to advise with him ; and with one voice cried out , ' Don't let yourself be cut up but die like a Christian ! ' ' I will die like a Christian ! ' exclaimed the simple Celt : and he died , for al | the arguments of the medical officers could not induce him to submit to the operation .
Scotch Law or Entail . —On Saturday last 4 he Court of Session approved ot the first duential under the recent statute . This is a great fact in the history of Scotland . The evils of a system intraducedin the worst days of Scottish history by the worst of our Lord Advocates are now checked , aad the soil of the country is no longer to be tied b y the artificial fetters of a barbarous system . Regard for easting vested interests will no doubt prevent the full operation Of this great improvement until many of the present generation are gone ; but at the same time , there is no man who has any love of country who will not rejoice at the beginning of so important a change .

Westminster.—Burglary With Violence.— ¦ ...
WESTMINSTER . —Burglary with Violence . — ¦ W . Cullen , G . Dishy , and F . Pike were charged with burglary at the residence of Mr . Waller , 13 , Stamford Villas , Fulham-road , and with personal violence to the proprietor . The accused were taken into custody on the following night , for being found in the rear of some houses in Cadogan-place—A medical certificate was produced to show that Mr . Waller , in consequence of the injuries he had received , was unable to leave his room . He was awoke by a man entering his sleeping apartment at about three o ' clock on Saturday morning , and on jumping out of bed was wounded , on thehead with some heavy blunt instrument , and his assailant
escaped . —Inspector Drake found that after two ineffectual attempts to get into the house frem a closet and kitchen window , in both of which a crowbar had been used with some force , the burglars forced open the doors of some out-houses , and broke a hole large enough to admit a man , and from one of these effected an entrance through the brickwork into the kitchen . It was proved that , between one and two o ' clock on Sunday morning , a policeman heard some one in a dark passage leading to the back of the houses in Cadogan-place , and found there the prisoner Pike , who pretended that he was there for an ordinary purpose , and gave a name and address
which ultimately turned out to be false . Soon after this the constable again heard a noise near where he had observed Pike , and having , with another constable , mounted the wall , they saw the two prisoners , Cullen and Digby , in a yard in the rear of one ofthe houses in Cadogan-place , and the officers jumped down and secured them . Amongst other articles found on Dighy was a penknife with the blade broken , the point of which , precisely corresponding with the portion left in the handle , was found in some putty which had been cut from a pane of glass at Mr . Waller ' s , at the time of the burglary . The prisoners had previously been seen in company , —Mr . Brodeiip remanded them for a week ;
Assault on a Woman bv a Soldier . —J . Kennedy , a private in the Scots Fusiliers , was finally examined , charged with assaulting Anne Jennings . —On the evening of Saturday week , complainant was at the bar of the King ' s Arms ; Tothill-street , Westminster , when defendant , who was in ' company with some of his comrades , accosted her 'in very filthy language . She told him not to interfere with her , as she wished to have nothing to say tojhim , and said that if he repeated his conduct sheiwould throw the contents ofthe drinking vessel she ; had in her hand over him . Defendant immediately laid hold of her and gave her a push , in doing r which a small portion of the beer was spilt over him , when he attacked her with great fury , struck her violently
in the mouth , and kicked her so desperately that it was found necessary to take her to the . hospital , where she was scarcely able to move for a week in consequence of the injuries she had received . —Defendant in reply to the charge , said that the complainant was most abusive to him as well as those who were in company with him , or he should not have acted as he had done . —Mr . Broderip committed the prisoner for trial , and in default of bail he was locked up . SOUTHWARK . —Charge of Fraudulently Obtaining Money at a County Court . Cooper was charged with fraudulently obtaining money of suitors ofthe Southwark County Court . —Mr . King , a farmer , stated that he was sued in the above court , and went there for the purpose of paying the
amount sued for . When he got to the entrance of the court , he was accosted by the prisoner , Vho asked him if he wanted a summons . His reply was in the negative , Mr . King saying that he came there to pay money , upon which the prisoner said that he would receive the debt , and give him a receipt for the money . Complainant , under the impression that the prisoner was an officer of the court , handed him the summons and then paid him over the-debt and costs , and having had a receipt given him for the money , then departed . Some weeks afterwards an officer of the above court surprised Mr . King by a call at his residence in the country to levy a distress for the debt and costs incurred in two actions in which he was defendant . The complainant
mentioned the fact of bis having paid the money into court , and when he described the circumstances and the prisoner , the officer said that that person was not at all connected with the court , but was known as a man who was in the habit of ., hanging about the entrance . The complainant paid the money over again to save his goods from seizure . — The chief clerk of the County Court explained that agents were not employed to receive monies of suitors , and that a clerk , whose desk was in the court , was appointed for that purpose . He added , that he had seen the prisoner about the court on previous occasions . — Mr . Cottingham thought it would be advantageous to the public to have a notice exhibited at the entrance ofthe court in a conspicuous place , to
apprise those by whom and these to whom monies were to be paid in there . The case in question disclosed a scandalous fraud on the part of the prisoner , who , however ,, in his opinion , had . not rendered himself amenable to a criminal prosecution . He had received the complainant ' s money and given him a receipt , and mstead of paying the amount into court he put it into his own pocket . It did not appear that he represented himself to he an officer ofthe court on the occasion , nor did Mr . King take the precaution of asking him any questions on the subject , hut merely paid himthe money under the supposition that such was the fact . —Mr . H . C . Knell stated that being defendant in a cause tried at the same court , the prisoner called upon
him , and representmg that he had come ; from the court for the debt and expenses , amounting to £ 1 lis . 6 d ., that sum was given to him , and he gave a receipt for it . Witness was subsequently sued for the sum , which he had to pay over again . — Mr . Cottingham said that this case differed from the former , inasmuch as the prisoner had used a false pretence in obtaining the money ,. by representing that he had called from the county court for the debt . He should commit the prisoner on the latter charge , and as it was understood that other cases of a similar description were likely to be preferred against him , he should remand him until Wednesday , Rape . —David Thomas , an extensive wharfinger at Shad Thames , was brought before Mr .
Cottingham , for final examination , charged with criminally assaulting Phoebe Hyde , a very interesting . little girl , twelve years of age . The child was again examined , and g ave a repetition ofthe evidence which appeared in our last number . —Mr . Binns , the solicitor , again attended for the prisoner , and cross-examined the child at some length . She stated that the house whichthey entered was in the Lower-road , Deptford . She had an aunt living near the place , and she thought she could have pointed the place out to the police , hut when she went with the officer she could not distinguish the house . —Mr . Cottingham asked her what she had at the publichouse ?—Complainant replied that the prisoner put some tobacco in her mouth at one place , which
made her sick . He afterwards compelled her to smoke a pipe , and threatened to cut heir throat , unless she complied with his request . He also gave her beer , and at the public-house poured gin down her throat . — -Mr . Cottingham : Why did you not raise an alarm when he did it ?—Complainant : I was afraid , as he pulled out his knife , and said he would cut my head off if I did . —Jackson Lewis , police-constable 76 M , said that on the evening in question , a little after six o ' clock , he met the child in Tooley-street . She was crying very much , and a female told him that she had been ill-treated by a man . Ho ascertained that she lived in Shoreditch , and after hearing her story he took her home to her parents . On the Sunday he went to Deptford , with
the hope of finding the house , but the child could not point it out . From information he . received he went to Gainsford-street , Horsley-down , and apprehended the prisoner . On his acquainting , him with his business the latter exclaimed , ' . ' Poor child , lam sorry for her . " He also said he met her near St . Thomas ' s Hospital , crying for the'l oss of fo urpence , and being afraid to go home , he took efiargo of her . —The pot-hoy at the public-house deposed that he saw the prisoner and the child in the tap-room on the evening in question . She smoked a pipe part of the time , and before they went he witnessed something unfit for publication . —Mr . BurcMl , a surgeon atKingsland , said he examined the child on Saturday night , the 3 rd . inst . Great violence had
been used towards her , and he believed the capital offence had been committed . —The mother of the chad , a very respectable female , corroborated the surgeon ' s statement , and informed the magistrate that her daughter was extremely simple , and liable to be led astray . —Mr . . Cottingham committed the prisoner for trial . MARLBOROUGH-STREET . -CoIonelBlanewas summoned before Mr . Bingham , for having neglected and refused to pay the maintenance of his alleged illegitimate offspring , which he had been ordered to pay by Mr . Bingham , the magistrate before whom the original summons was heard . Thirteen weeks having elapsed without any money having been paid under the order , the complainant took rtS W ^ BUmm ^ ' P ^ g . the magistrate to put S 1 n , ce ™ ? lssmn e Arrant to distrain on Colonel Diane ' s goods for the amount
claimed , or , if there should not be sufficient goods , to adjudge a proportionate term of imprisonment . — Mr . Bingham heard evidence to the effect that no momvjr had been paid under the order . —Colonel Blane s professional adviser ' applied for . a postponement of the case for a week , on the plea that it was in contemp lation to remove the case into the Court of Queen ' s Bench ; that Mr . Pashley ' s opinion had been obtained , and that the proper steps would be taken forthwith . It may here he stated , that , in addition to points which mi ght arise in any ordinary case , there is one special point relied man to overturn all that has been hitherto doneTlhis point relates to the jurisdiction of a ma gM ^ e over this case it being contended that ,- inasmuch asthe-chddwasborn m France , ao order can he ma ^ fi \ , Colo ? el ^ e md . 5 ch cfcenmstances . - Colonel Blane s plicitor said , tf { he nj agjfijKite . ob-

jected to grant the delay , he was prepared to pay the money under protest . —Mr . Bingham said , after the protracted litigation which had occurred , and considering that the sum which Colonel Blane was called upon to pay weekly was very small in proportion to his means , he could not feel justified in acceding to further delay . The arrears , with costs both at that court and the sessions , must he paid . — The costs already allowed by the two courts against Col . Blane amount to £ 36 . This sum , of course , is a very trifling part of the actual expenses . BOW-STREET . —Edward Broome , who has been employed in the Post-Office for fourteen years , was placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter con-? iiininw monev . the property of the
Postmaster-General . Mr . Peacock appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Binns for the prisoner .-r-Mr . Walter R . Sculthorpe , a superintendent-president attached to the London district , said that in consequence of numerous complaints from Deptford and the neighbourhood , respecting missing letters , he caused a letter to be written on Saturday , addressed " Thos . Jeffries , 3 fickley , near Bipton , Yorkshire , " enclosing a half-sovereign and a sixpence , which he marked in the presence of Mr . Colo , an inspector of letter carriers , and which were folded in a card for security . The letter was enclosed in an envelope , sealed , which he delivered a few minutes before two o ' clock to Peake , the officer , with directions to post it at the New-cross office before four o ' clock , that it
might he collected there by the prisoner and taken to Deptford , to be forwarded m the mail bag to town . The Deptford hag arrived at the General Post-Office about ten minutes before six o ' clock , tied and sealed , and being opened by witness he could not find the letter produced , upon which he proceeded to Deptford with the officers and found the money and letter upon the prisoner . On being asked to account for it , he said it was jolted out of his pouch bag on his riding with a man in a cart which had no spring ; and the reason why he did not give it up to the charge-taker was , that he did not discover it in giving m his collection until he was leaving the office . Other officials belonging to the Post-Office having given corroborative evidence ,
the prisoner declined saying anything m his defence , andhe was fully committed for trial . MARYLEBONE . — Unfounded Charge . — Mr . Isaac Falcke , a tradesman , carrying on business as a dealer in foreign china , pictures , bijouterie , & c , at 394 , Oxford-street , and 131 , Regent-street , was charged by the Rev . R . Bellis , curate of St . Paul ' s , Lissonigrove , with having gained admittance into his house under fraudulent pretences . —Complainant deposed that on the same morning , as he was dressing , his servant handed him a card , saying that a person who had g iven it in wished to see him . The name and address upon the card was , ? Mr . J . Williams , St . John ' s-terrace , Islington . " He ( complainant Went down , and in the drawing-room found
the defendant . He asked him the nature of his business , when he hesitated a little , and after apologising for intruding , said he had called to inquire about a person whom he ( complainant ) knew , the Count de Oondatori . Complainant said he did not know any such person , and that he thought defendant had come to his house for an improper purpose , and complainant sent for a policeman , pending whose arrival , the defendant abused him , alleging that he was acting neither like a gentleman nor a clergyman . The constable who took defendant into custody produced a card which defendant gave in at the station ; it bore his right name and his place of business in Oxford-street and Regent-street . ~ Defendant : I had several cards in my pocket ,
and perhaps took out the one the complainant received which I handed in , not thinking at the moment whether it was my own or not . I can g ive the highest testimonials as to my responsibility , and I have for many years had dealings with the hig hest noblemen and gentlemen in the land in the way of trade . Defendant here handed to the magistrate numerous papers connected with business transactions to a large amount . Mr . Broughton perused them and felt satisfied therefrom , as well as from the statement of a witness named Kirsch , who had taken a note written by defendant to a partner at one of his houses of business that he ( defendant ) was a man of respectability ; at the same time he was of opinion that the rev . gentleman , when he
gave the charge , thought that he was doing his duty to society . He ( the magistrate ) would have imagined that something was wrong . It was well known that parties were going about to the houses of reverend gentlemen to collect alms for clergymen alleged to be in distress , and that much imposition had been practised . The worthy magistrate ( addressing defendant ) , added , that , satisfied as he was of the respectability of the accused , he should strongly recommend that the rev . gentleman should make the amende honorable at once , in order to prevent ulterior proceedings . —Complainant : I think , sir , you have taken too favourable a view on the part of defendant . I'll not withdraw anything I have said or doneand I feel that no apology
, should be required from me . —Mr . Broughton : If he had had an improper object in view when he came to your house and gave in his card "Mr . J . Williams , " he would , if he was an improper character , have still kept up the name and not have g iven his real address and name . The worthy magistrate finding that all his endeavours to effect a reconciliation were perfectly futile , said to defendant , " I am sorry for what has occurred to you , and I shall discharge you . "—Defendant then quitted the court . A Would-be Ghost . —A foreigner , who could not speak a word of English , and who had a coarse sack wrapped around him from head to foot , was brought
up by a police-constable , who , at twelve o clock at night , saw the prisoner come out of No . 18 , Avenue-road , St . John ' s-wood , the said dwelling being at present taken care of by some parties until it can be let . He ( prisoner ) walked with a slow and stately step , at the same time making an unearthly noise with his mouth ; and from the grotesque appearance which he exhibited , he caused witness to start , not knowing at first what the form could he . —Mr . Broughton : You thought it was a g host , did you not ?—Witness ; Some people might well have imagined so , your worship , but I don't believe in supernatural beings . The prisoner was remanded till next Monday , in order that some inquiry may be made into tho state of Ms mind .
Worship-street . —Brutal Assault . —A tradesman named Radcliffe was charged with the following brutal assault upon his apprentice , a youth named Thomas Camfield : —The apprentice stated , that while in bed at half-past twelve o ' clock on the night of Saturday week his master rushed into the room , and without giving the slightest reason for such conduct seized him by the hair of his head , dragged him out of bed , and lucked him in the most furious manner upon various parts ofthe body , The defendant then left him , and the complainant with great pain and difficulty contrived to get into bed again , hut had not been there more than five minutes when the defendant returned , and , again seizing him in the same manner as before , a second time dragged him out of bed , compelled him to dress himself , and notwithstanding the lateness of the hour , turned him into the street . —The defendant , in answer , said , that upon returning home his
wile told him that the complainant had both insulted her grossly and struck her , and , feeling naturally exasperated , he ordered the complainant to leave the house ; this he positively refused to do , and he , therefore , used sufficient force to compel his compliance , but he denied that he had either kicked him or illusedhim to the extent described . —Anne Camfield , the lad ' s mother , stated , that upon her son returning home , he had a severe contusion upon one of his eyes , and she found upon examination that he had other serious bruises upon his hip , knee , and the middle of his back , in addition to which he also complained of suffering extreme pain from some internal injury in his loins . —Mr . Hammill considered that no provocation could justify such extreme violence as it was clearly proved the defendant had been guilty of , and ordered him to pay the full penalty of £ 6 , or in default to be committed to the House of Correction for two months . The penalty was immediately paid , and the defendantliberated .
THAMES . —A Trick Somewhere . —Mr . Thompson , pawnbroker , Commercial-road . East , was charged with detaining a gold watch-guard . C . M'Crombie said , having pledged his watch and a gold guard chain at the defendant ' s shop , he sent a person , named Louis Solomon , to relieve it , at the same time handing him the duplicate , which distinctly specified tnat the chain was a gold one . When Solomon redeemed the article , seeing that the guard was not gold , he called the attention of the shopman to that fact , and showed him that it was described as gold in the ticket , to which the shopman replied that he had it as it was pawned . — Mr . . Cripps , foreman to the defendant , said he received the watch and chain from the complainant , which he put in a room to which no one had access
but himself and another , who had been a long time in the employment ? He remembered taking the pledge , but did not remember anything ofthe chain . There was no remark made about the chain b y Solomon when the pledge was redeemed , and when Solomon came back with M'Crombie , the latter , instead of asking for his own guard , said it would be better for them to give him another . —Mr . Yardley said there was evidently a trick somewhere , but upon which side it was hard to tell . —In answer to the magistrate , Mr . Cripps said that they never took in articles , described as gold , without testing them . This appeared not to have been done in the 5 resent instance . —Mr . Yardley said it was impossile to come to a decision on this evidence . It lay with the complainant to prove his case , but as he had not done so , the summons must he dismissed .
Stabbing . —J . Harley was re-examined charged with cutting and wounding Margaret Putt . The prisoner was quarrelling witn and ill-using a woman with whom he lived . Her screams were heard by the people in the room below , and among others by the woman Putt , who went up to take her part . She was * immediately attacked hy the prisoner in the dark , , and he inflicted several wounds with a knife Site iy » frurned to the apartment eho bad left Weeding

copiously , and became quite exhausted from loss of blood She received three incised wounds on the left am , and another in a much more dangerous place , and which had nearly cost her her life . She was removed to the London _ Hospital , where she has since remained —The prisoner was again remanded . Charge of Burolart asp Robbeb , y .-J . Jury was charged with feloniously entering the dwellinghouse of Mr . A . Skarratt , pastrycook , Lemanstreet , Whitechapel , and stealing propertv and money therefrom . —The prosecutor said , that at twelve o ' clock on the preceding night he made everything apparently secure before he went t o bed . He came down stairs that morning about halt-past
seven o' slock , and found everything in confusion , and property of every description strewed about the floor . He missed several things from the shop and parlour , mcluding a considerable sum of money in silver . The parlour window , which opened into the back yard , was open , and the thieves appeared to have obtained entrance by climbing over some premises at the rear of the house , and had forced open the parlour window . A piece of wood , which had been nailed over the bottom ofthe window-sash , had been removed . —Apolice sergeant stated that he went to Keate-street , Spitalfields , where a great number of thieves , p ickpockets , and other rogues ,
abounded . He was p assing along the street in plain clothes , when he saw the prisoner near his own house , exhibiting to several other thieves a large coral necklace . He knew from the first glance that it answered the description of one stolen from the prosecutor ' s house , ana he seized the necklace , and secured the prisoner before he had time to make any resistance . —Mr . Skarratt identified the coral necklace , and also a needle case found in the prisoner s possession , as part of the stolen property . —In answer to Mr . Yardley , the officer said the prisoner was known as a thief , and lived in one of the worst houses in Keate-street . —Mr . Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week ,
GUILDHALL . —Charge of Embezzlement . —H . C . Fox , a porter in the employment of Messrs . Dakin and Co ., tea merchants , of No . 1 , Ludgatehill , was charged with embezzling the monies ofthe firm . —J . Richardson , in the service of Messrs . Dakin and Co ., said it was the duty ofthe prisoner , as porter and carman , to render an account of all monies received , but , instead of that , he brought back the way bill on the 13 th of November last , and at the bottom of the column there appeared , in his hand-writing , the words , " To Account . " This was hi the column ruled expressly for the porters , to assign their reason for not bringing the money , or for enterin g whatever they received . It had since been ascertained that the bill ( £ 1 3 s . Id . ) , had been naid . and the prisoner gave a receipt , which receipt
( then produced ) was inliis handwriting . Again , on the 9 th of December , it appeared that he received 13 s . lid . from a Mr . Harley , and instead of giving up the money , he wrote in the column the word " Monday , " meaning that the amount would be paid on the following Monday . —W . Perritt , clerk to Messrs . Dakin and Co ., said the porters should account to him for all monies received hy them , hut the sums above-mentioned had not been accounted fer . It was stated that when the prisoner was taken into custody he said , " Why do you make an example of me ; others have been quite as bad . "Aid . Hunter considered the case so serious from the expression made use of by the prisoner respecting his being made an example of when others had been as had , that he had made up his mind to remand him for a week . Bail was refused .
Charge against a Cab-briver . —D . Curtis , a cabdriver , was summoned for the following conduct . — Jane Myers said that she and a friend were at a wedding in Clerkenwell till a late hour in the morning , when a male friend put them into the defendant s cab and desired him to drive them to Aidgate , instead of which they shortly after found themselves in St . Paul ' s Churchyard , on the eastern or dark side , when the door was opened and a man got in , and a second was following , upon which she and her friend thrust him back , and screamed loudly . Both the men then ran off , and the defendant was desired to drive quickly to his destination ; but on arriving in Cheapside the cabman again stopped , and then a man came up and wanted to
f et in , observing that he was going then * way . hey again raised an alarm , upon which the man left , and the cab proceeded at a very slow pace . On arriving at Aldgate the defendant made use of the most disgusting language . Witness then left the cab , and spoke to a policeman , who refused to take the charge , and told her if she felt aggrieved she could take out a summons . Ann Jacobs corroborated the above evidence , and added that they were obliged to walk home in a mizzling rain for about ten minutes . —The defendant said , that when driving past the Post-office , a gentleman ran unand asked if it was disengaged : but on
seeing the prosecutors inside , he made an apology and left . With respect to getting into the cab , he denied that altogether . — Alderman Challis sent for the officer who refused to take the charge ; and on his arrival , he said he was not told to take the cabman into custody , but certainly the lady called police , and said that a strange gentleman had attempted to get in . On being questioned hy Mr . Lewis , the officer said he had seen the defendant , since the transaction , but had had nothing to drink , and he had even refused to come forward on his behalf . —Alderman Challis ; I at once dismiss the summons .
Dealings in Peiiicoat-Lane . —I . Levy , of Bellcourt , Petticoat-lane , was charged with having unlawfully exchanged a gold ring for a brass one . The complainant , Ann Pipe , was in distress , and on Sunday last took her wedding ring and offered it to the prisoner for sale . He went inside the house as she supposed to test it , and shortly returned and gave her a ring back , saying that it was not worth anything . She discovered that it was not hers , as it would not go on her finger , but he insisted that it was the same he had received , and would give her no further satisfaction , upon which she took out a summons . —S . Cohen said he was at the door when the complainant came up , she was in liquor , and asked if the ring was gold . The defendant at once said it was not , and returned it to her . He never turned round to go inside the house—Alderman Challis said he felt inclined to believe the woman , and therefore the defendant must pay 8 s ., the value ofthe ring , and 2 s . costs , or return the ring . The money was paid .
GREENWICH—Bioamt . —Elizabeth Ann Nadin , aged forty-five , but who appeared much younger , was charged with intermarrying with Edward Chesncy Seal , aged 18 , a stripling of a lad , son of a dairyman at Lee , her first husband being still alive . "William Nadin , a man about the same age as the prisoner , deposed that ho is a stone-mason , residing in Boone-street , Lee . He married the prisoner about seven years ago , at the church of St . Paul ' s Deptford . They had not latterly lived happily together on account of her returning home frequently at a late hour at night . She absconded from under his roof on the 22 nd ult . —George M'Kenzie , residing in Greenfield-street , Commercial road , deposed that he was present when the marriage ceremony was pel-formed between the prisoner and young Seal , it was on the 8 th of January last , at Whitechapelchurch . —The next charge was against E . C . Seal , on suspicion of having feloniously removed a
quantity oi oea ciotning , carpettmg , and wearing apparel from the premises of the prosecutor , found in the trunks ofthe prisoner and Mrs . Nadin , at the lodgings in Southwark ; but there bein g no evidence to prove that he had acted in concert with Mrs . Nadin in the removal ofthe articles found , Mr . Traill said the prisoner must be discharged . He left the court laughing , and demanded his money and other property detained b y the police on searching his apartment . —The prisoner , Mrs . Nadin , was then fully committed on the charge of bi gamy , and left the dock laughing , and turning to her husband gave him a smile of contempt at parting . After the second marriage on the 8 th of January , she returned home to her husband ' s house , and remained there until the 22 nd , and then being prepared , eloped with her second love , as it was stated , for the purpose of going to America , being well provided with money .
HAMMERSMITH . —Knocking out a Man ' s Ete . —T . Tonkin was finally examined , charged with assaulting J . Ready . It appeared from the statement of Ready , which was corroborated by several witnesses , that on the 22 ud of December last , he went to witness a walking match at Harlington Corner . While there a row took place between the prisoner and others , and some stones having been thrown , witness saw the prisoner and fourteen or fifteen others coming towards him . He endeavoured to get out of their way . They however overtook
him , and one of them struck him with a stick , the prisoner instantly afterwards throwing a stone at him , which struck him on the right eye , and he fell bleeding to the ground . The prisoner and others then surroundedT him , and heat him over the head and body in a brutal manner with their sticks . They left him and pursued another man , who escaped from them . He ( Ready ) was an in-patient of the hospital for a month , and he produced a medical certificate from the house surgeon of the hospital stating that the eye was completel y destroyed — The prisoner was fully committed for trial .

Wednesdat , Feb . 14 . —Again we have to report a fair supply of wheat , but short of other grain .

CATTLE . Friday ; Feb . 9 . —There was a large supply of beasts ; trade wa s exceedingly dull , and our top ^ quotations wero with difficulty realised for some of the choicest descriptions . Several of inferior quality remained unsold . The number of sheep was not large ; it was , however , quite adequate to the demand . Monday ' s prices were freely given , but there was not any quotable advance . The arrival of a considerable number of foreign calves since Monday caused a reduction in price , more especiaUy of second rate . Ths best kinds were also on the average rather lower , although a few of the choicest , being scarce , still made very nearly & r much as of late . Trade was more cheerful for pigs , but tie advance in price was trifling . Smithfield , Monday , Feb . 12 , —On the whole , the supply of foreign beasts in to-day ' s market was tolerably good , and mere was a slight improvement in its general qualit y .
The number of sheep from abroad was again limited , but that of calves was seasonably extensive . Each kind of foreign stock met a very dull inquiry , and prices had a downward tendency , without effecting a clearance . There was a considerable increase in the supply of home-fed beasts on offer this morning compared with that exhibited on this day se ' nnight . A very small number was benenth the quality . Notwithstanding the attendance of both torn and country buyers was good , the beef trade was exceedingly heavy ; and , to effect sales , a decline of from 2 d to , in some instances , 4 d per 8 lbs . was submitted to by the salesmen . The extreme quotation for the best Scots did not exceed 3 s lOd per 8 lbs . At the close of the market
several droves left unsold . The present value ot live stock here will be best understood when we observe that , this morning , beef was selling at from 4 d to 8 d , mutton 4 d to 8 d , veal 6 d to 8 d , and 4 d per 8 lbs . beneath the prices ob . tained at the corresponding period in 1848 . We have to re . port the arrival of a full average number of sheep , the return showing an increase in it of about 3 , 000 head ; owing to which the mutton trade was in a very dull state , at a fall in the currencies of quite 2 d per 8 lbs , The primest old Downs sold at from 4 s 8 d to 4 s lOd per 8 lbs . We were weU supplied with calves . Prime smaU qualities of veal moved off steadily at full prices , in other kinds next to nothing was done . Very Uttle business was transacted in pigs , at last week ' s prices .

PROVISIONS . Lohdon , Monday—The transactions in Irish butter since our last have been few and unimportant ; prices nominal . The sale of foreign was also slow , except fine Friesland . which found buyers at 110 s per . cwt . Irish bacon not freely dealt iu , nor prices weli supported . Hams in fair demand and price . Lard in better sale , and the turn dearer . American singed bacon sold well , and the Lest at improved rates . - Middles in moderate request ; prices steady . English BorrEa Mauket . Feb . 12 As the season advances , our old butter becomes more aud more a drug in the market , and ' prices for the article are difficult to quote ,
but aU lower ; none is saleable except here and there a tine parcel , which is rarely to be met with . The same report also applies to Irish butter , the stock of which was very heavy , and despite of great exertions on the part of holders to seU , is hardly reduced at all . The end of old butter this season must be very bad . As yet but very little new milk Dorset butter has made its appearance here , so that tie price is not set ; however , we may safely calculate that it will be about fifteen per cent , under the opening price of the last and previous years . Dorset , fine autumn-maA- , 14 s to 88 s per cwt ; ditto , summer-made and inferior , 5 ( fe to 70 s ; fresh Buckinghamshire , 10 s to 14 s per dozen ; ditto West of England , 8 s to 12 s .
COLONIAL PRODUCE .
