Moxdat, March 5. Horse Of Lords.—Scoicn ...
tjehon _gentleman rtatcs—asked him- | Lord Palmerston ) whether there would be any objection to such an accommodation . His reply was at once that he did not see a « y- and the guns were accordingly delivered On further consideration it appeared to him that perhaps thc Neapolitan government might take a -Efferent view * ofthe transaction , and _accordingly 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 thc permission to take the guns had been given inadvertently .
Sir 3 . Walsh charged the noble lord with assuming in independent ime of actio ** , which had been repudiated by the majority of his colleagues . _^ - _H'Gkegor applauded the conduct of the Sicilians , and passed a high « ulogium on the noblo lord forthe manner in which he managed thc foreign affairs of tbe country . Mr . J . 0 * Co- « J > _eu . -K _* as deli g hted to hoar the full reeoirnition , on the part of the noble lord , of the right of nations , when desirous to manage their own aflahs . After tbis recognition he should ask the noble iord for his vote for legislative freedom for
Mr- Hw-- _e-eppessedhis delight to hear that the moral ' power of England was now sa 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 propose a reduction in the army Lord J " Rrssiax denied that any difference of opinion had existed between the noble lord and his colleagues , on the subject ofthe supply of arms , for so far from the explanation suggested having originated with theni , it had emanated from the noble lord himself . As regarded anything being _analogo us as between the cases of Ireland and Sicily , as _? u < _-gested hy the member for limerick , the only resehiblance was , tbat Ireland was an island and so was Sicily .
Mr . Baskes would consent to modify the return thus : "Account , Ac , for thc purpose of being sent to the Sicilians in arms against her Majesty ' s faithful ally , with the consent of her Majesty ' s Minister forForeinnAuairs . " ...... , _TJ _^ propo-ationhemgdeclineda division followed , when the motion was negatived hy a majority of 95 —the numbers bein « r 39 to 134 . The House then adjourned at six o _' cloek . ' THURSDAY , March 8 . HOUSE OF COMMOXS . _—Tbaxsportatios asd Bisciplixb of CoxviCTs . —Lori Mahox , pursuant "to notice , called the attention of the House to the Instructions issued in 1846 , 1847 , _ and 1848 , with respect to the transportation and discipline of convicts . He concladed 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 ti . Gret -defended Lord Grey , or rather the government , from the charge of inconsistency . He explained ' the intentions of the government with regard to the introduction ofa 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 ef its salutary effects . In justifying the continuance of penal labour on publie -works in this country and near home , as a second stage , he considered the hulks as only a temporary
expedient ; In the third stage , the removal of convicts from this country , he showed that the system now adoptee " , effected that object more completely than the old . Hc admitted the evil of the crowded state ofthe 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 rathermeagre practical suggestions of Lord Mahon , showing the inexpediency of _can-yin- _** out the scheme of a settlement in _Jfew Australia , and ofa 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 , he allowed a certain degree of discretion . Mr . Hcme complained of the ever-varying plans of convict discipline . The present system of
_enfleavouriug to reform criminals at home would fail , and labour was wanted , in the colonies , where the assignment system should be reintroduced . Sir J . _PiKiJ-GioJr recommended the adoption of the principle of Captain Maconochie ' s plan . Mr . Gudstoxe defended the principle of the probation system , the horrors of which in Tan Liemen ' s Land resulted from the defective instrumentality whereby it was carried out . He thought Lord Grey had _heenjguilty 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 New South _Tfalcs to Yah _Diemen'sTtand , after a pledge g iven that transportation would not be renewed . Mr . Ewabt , Mr . Alderman Sidset , and Mr . P . Scrope spoke shortly upon some ofthe topics in the question , and Sir G . Grey gave replies to inquiries put to Mm . The motion was agreed to .
_AomCULTCEAI . _BCRTHESS AXD GBIEVASCES . — Mr . Disraeli then rose to move certain resolutions declaratory of the unequal 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 ofit , as unnecessary for his argument , or to enter upon a controversy as tothe policy ofthe changes by which , according to Mr . Cobden , the agricultural class had not heen fairly treated . He still thought that our new commercial system was founded upon erroneous
principles , " and he shortly enumerated some otthe reasons upon wbich he founded that opinion ; hut he looked hot to a sndden retrogression , but to legitimate means , for remedying the evils of this new system . The question before the Ilouse was extremely simple . 2 ? o less than £ 10 , 000 , 000 was levied lastvearbydirectlocal taxation upon real property , independently of £ 2 , 000 , 000 land-tax ; that is , a direct taxation of £ 12 , 000 , 000 , from which other property was exempt , was levied upon a rental of £ 67 , 000 , 000 . The whole income of the country was £ 249 , 000 , 000 ; on what principle of justice could £ 12 , 000 , 000 of local taxation be cast upon little more than one-fourthof that income ? Who wonld suppose that this harden 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 some of our general national taxation . The grievance and anomaly of these two forms of taxation had been long pelt , and , as a r ° medy , a system of national rating * had been recommended * but to this he objected . Ss would not resist an inquiry into the subject of the probate and legacy duties ; for the result would show tbat a large proportion was paid by the land , on tbe 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 tiie House would go into committee , he wonld offer a plan , whicb was
founded in justice , to remedy this inequality . In a spirit of compromise and conciliation , he shonld propose , tbe present system of local administration remaining , the present levy of rates continuing , that the local districts shonld be responsible for one moiety , and that-tiie other should be paid bv the Consolidated Fund . Mr . Disraeli then described , in forcible terms , the treacherous manner in which the agricultural interest bad been treated on the subject of tbe malt-tax , _< the repeal of -which he , nevertheless , persuaded them aot to press for , bat to be content with the _meesure he proposed—a measure fonnded in justice * : * md he concluded with an eloquent picture of the claims and wrongs of that interest , of the insult 8 ihey had received , and the forbearanoethey had displayed , warning the Honse , however , tbat the blood which had refused shipmoney was not to be trifled with .
Mr . Sous said , the eemedy proposed by Mr . Disraeli _swuld impose upoa the tenant-fanners ( of whom be had-said nothing ) an additional _ineemetax of £ 6 / 000 , 000 . He thee _showed that these rates were properly hud upon the land , which had been purchased subject to them . He then entered at some length apon the genera ] ceduction _' of taxation , andtoncluded by moving an . amendment to Mr . Disraeli ' s motion to the effect that , if there he any inequality in the local taxation bearing upon real property , it ought to be removed j but the public expenditure should jbe reduced so _cs to permit the repeal ofthe duties an malt and hop * . On the motion of _fie CHANCEiiOttof the _Exchequer , the debate sots adjourned until Wednesday next , Mr . _AoLuiNBr obtained leave to bring in a bill to effect the co _* _npulsory _enfeanckisement cf lands of copyhold and customary tenure .
On the nomination of the Select Committeee on ihe Bribery at Elections Bill , some rather sharp words were exchanged between Colonel SiBfHOBP and the _Attorhey-G 8 herai .. Tiie House adjourned at one o ' _elock . _iFBJDAY , March 9 , HOUSE OF LORDS . —The members of this House having disposed of some unimportant _business adjourned at * m early hour . HOUSE OF- COMM 02 fS . - _^> Anoinox Laws . — Mr . Hehhies moved that the bill introduced by the Ministry be read a . second time that day six months . The interval since lart session had afforded time for considering this measure , and the result had been _ vast body of opinions and of evidenoe adverse to ita policy . As jseg « _dea * foreign powers , France , Bel

gium , and Germany , those countries still remained hostile to the propositions made to them , on contravention of the attempts to convince them that it would he to their interest to follow the example this government was desirous to set them . After referring to the evidence of officers as to whether a mercantile marine was or was not necessary lor the support of a great naval marine , the right hon . gentlenW quotel some observations of Mr . Cobden s as tow * fide evidence ofthe first proposition , and urged that the existing navigation laws secured to this country the exclusive possession of a vast international and colonial traffic , as also the tratte with the large non-maritime powers of hurope . lhe . 1 ,,- _nninjr interest , emnloyed capital to the extent of
near sixty millions ; paid in' wages not less than £ 5 , 000 , 000 _annually , employed 80 , 000 artificers and workmen , had ships , the whole amount of tonnage of which was 3 , 900 , 000 tons , the vessels being manned by 250 , 000 seamen , and yet it was this vast interest the government were about to destroy , dealing now with the sea as they had previously done with tbe land . It was however to be hoped that public opinion would induce them to pause in the destructive and ill judged career they were pursuing . The question at issue , he observed , was this : On one hand , the navigation
laws . had secured to this country a large commercial marine ; on the other hand , it was contended that they presented obstructions to the free scope of commerce , and tbat a large mercantile marine was not necessary or auxiliary to a great naval power . After exposing the fallacy of the proposition , he adduced evidence to prove that in spite of its restrictions , which were not onerous , the balance of advantages clearly preponderated in favour ofa system which was tne riursery of our flourishing mercantile marine , the foundation of a naval supremacy , and which , if once abandoned for the " sake of a rash experiment , conld never , be restored _/
Mr . J . "Wilson followed . "With regard to the answers from various foreign powers in reference to the applications made tb them , all they did was to remind the British government that the treaties with them would expire in such a year , and that a more liberal policy would be expected ; while Austria replied she was surprised at being asked whether she couldreciprocate with this eountry _, because she had already given all she could , and was disappointed when she asked for reciprocity in return . The hon . member then took a review ofthe various relaxations in protective duties which had taken place since 1841 , in which year the first reduction of the commercial tariff took place , and proceeded to gay that if no better reason existed for the
repeal of the navigation , laws than the invitation of the United States and the __ threat of Russia , no ground would be laid for the bill under consideration , but the more the effect of those laws upon the shipping- interest and commerce ofthe country were inquired into , the more abundantly would reasons appear , both for then * repeal . With regard to the number of men employed in tbe commercial marine , in 1842 . it was 118 , 000 : in 1847 , 242 , 000 ; a proof that as free trade had progressed the number of seamen had increased . There was no evidence to show that there was a decline in the shipping trade of this country , and if she could stand the test ofa comparison with America in the increase of her foreign _shippiug , there wag little danger to be apprehended ; on the contrary , it would appear that the more the Britsh shipowner was Drought into competition with the foreigner the better it would be for him . The Marquis of Granbt quoted Mr . Mackay ' s
" Western World with the view of showing the country the resurces of America and the rapid progress ber commercial marine was making , though he did not agree with Mr . M . in his deduction that therefore England , must succumb to America _,, for there was a . skill , energy , and industry in Bri _« tish seamen , that nothing but the misconduct ofthe Legislature could destroy . The introduction of foreign shipping into the colonies abroad and into the harbours and ports at home strongly reminded him of the introduction of the wooden horse into Troy . Mr . Hes-usy expressed his wish to know what , in the event of a war , and this measure having passed , government intended to do on the subject of impressment ; for , when they were introducing a better class of men into the mercantile marine , some provision must be made in this respect . He , for one , was not prepared to run the risk which he apprehended would be run ifthe present measure were carried .
Mr . Kerb offered a few observations amidst much laughter , and having suddenly resumed his seat , the debate was adjourned to Monday at twelve o ' clock .

The Tooting Case. Judge's Chambers.—Mond...
THE TOOTING CASE . JUDGE'S CHAMBERS . —Monday . TUB < _2 cEE * f * ox thb Prosecution or the _Guar-~ dia * ss of the holborn and chelsea union v . Dkouet . In tbis case an order nisi had been obtained by Mr . Ballantine , on the part ofthe defendant , to remove the indictment found herein , the coroner ' s inquisitions , as also the depositions and all proceedings had thereon , by writ of certiorari , from the Central Criminal Court into the Queen ' s Bench , on the ground that an unfair prejudice had heen created in
the minds ofthe public by inflammatory and unjust newspaper articles and reports , and also that from the state of the defendant's health , he labouring under a disease ( inflammation of the heart and lungs ) , death might be produced from the excitement arising by being placed at the bar of the Old Bailey to take bis trial ; and further , that the depositions upon which he was indicted showed no case to go to a jury ; and a trial in the Court of Queen's Bench would be less influenced by public prejudice than atrial at the Central Criminal Court .
Mr . Petersdorff , with Mr . Duncombe , on the part of the Holborn Union , now showed cause against the order being made absolute for the issuing ofthe writ of certiorari . Mr . Bai _& antine having replied , Mr . Justice Paxteson said , in g iving judgment , he was not called upon to say whether the indictments were sustainable or not ; and he ought to be careful before he hazarded even an opinion , and he would wish it to be understood , and that it should go . abroad , that he expressed no opinion on the point either one way or the other . The indictments were found , and they must be tried before a Middlesex
common jury ; and it was the same thmg whether they were tried at the Old Bailey or the Queen ' s Bench ; the only difference being , that in the one case the defendant mnst stand before the bar , and in the other on the floor ofthe court , except that a new trial might he applied for . If the present application was granted , he saw no reason why it shoald not he granted in case of murder . "With the condition in life ofthe parties he had nothing to do ; and , therefore , under all the circumstances , he was of opinion that there was no ground for the removal , and that the writ ought not to issue . The order must be refused . Order discharged accordingly .
A Jtjmcial Tiger C* His Laih.—-Capture O...
A _JtjMciAL Tiger c * his Laih . — _-CAPtuRE of Judge Jeffreys . —A scrivener , who lived at Wapping , and whose trade it was to furnish the seafaring men there with moHey at high interests , had some tune before lost a sum on bottomry . The debtor applied to equity for relief against his own bond ; and the cause came before Jeffreys . The counsel for the borrower , having little else to say , said tha't the lender was a trimmer . The Chancellor instantly fired . "A trimmer ! where is he ? Let me aee 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 ofa 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 . The fugitive ' s life 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 fright , and followed by a raging multitude , the agitations 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 proeured from the lords who were sitting at Whitehall ; and he was conveyed in a carriage to the Tower . Two regiments of militia were drawn bnt 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 , The thousands who were disappointed of their revenge pursued the coach , with howlsof 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 of death , he was safely lodged in the fortress where some of his most illustrious victims had passed their best days , and where Ids own life waa destined to close in un-• m eakable _^ _mjny and honor . —AJacaulay ' sMstory

Lambeth.—Aiikoki Cruewv To A Child.—H. M...
LAMBETH . _—AiiKOKi Cruewv to a Child . —H . Martin , the governess bf the National Infant School , In Dorset-street , South Lambeth , was charged with having placed a . child , three year 3 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 age , and one of them , an intelligent , little boy , deposed-io having . seen the governess , Miss Martini takeup little Hughes and place him sitting ori the to _^' of the stove . The child cried-a \ good deal . _—Mr _^ Bvan * , the medical gentleman , who , had been called into examine the child , deposed to the injuries inflicted , and said ,, that having examined the stove ih-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-the child ' s parents , applied for a remand to a future day . —Mr . Humphries did not object to the application . It was the wish of the guardians' of rhe schools by whom he was instructed to appear , though he could only do so as the advocate of Miss Martin , thatthe 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 the appearance of Miss Martin—herself in £ 100 and two sureties in * S 50 each . The required sureties were entered into , and the accused was liberated . —On Tuesday , Mr . Humphreys , who attended for the accused , said
that , having received the authority of Miss Martin to do so , he felt it to be his duty to make a statement of the fasts as . they really occurred :- The child entered the school wet and crying , and Miss Martin thoughtlessly took him up andplaced 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'Martifl ; seeing the nature and extent of the injuries , ahd fearing also that the circumstance might affect the interests of the school , or that she might lose her situation , foolishly denied her guilt . in thefirst in - - stance , and persisted in her statement * . "' Iw ' conciusion , Mr . Humphreys said he had the pleasing duty to add , that by a certificate which he _-Jvcwld read ;
it would be found that the life ofthe child was out of danger , and Miss Martin would be m attendance on the day appointed to meet the charge . —M _? . Games said , he wished he could join Mr , Humphreys in the belief that the child was out of danger _, ; on 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 . worse position by making the acknowledgment she had , and here 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-innfields , was placed at the bar before Mr . Henry ,
charged with stabbing her husband hi the neck with a large case knife , from the effects of which his life 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 which time her husband was sitting at a fire in the room at the rear of the shop . Tney both appeared to be wider 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 doofahd told witness that he had heen wounded by the prisoner . Witness immediately conveyed _hinVtb the shop of
Mr .. Gray , m Drury-lane , while * tfie prisoner followed , with the knife ih her hana ' , * ; _$ iithout making any observation until she entere'd . the' doctor ' s shop ; and then she said , ' - ' -I did it , and 1 -had just cause for doing it . " He had known tkeni both'for abpufc four years , and that they were of drunken habits , but he could not ascertain the causeof their quarrel . —Mr . Gray ' s assistant said that the 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 the jugular vein , which must have caused instant death , The 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 whilethe man was _havins * his wounds dressed he expressed a
wish that she should be taken into custody . —Mr . Henry inquired if any one was hi 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 , having 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 hc 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 the evidence of some persons from the hospital , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded for that purpose .
SOUTHWARK . — Attempted Escape from Horsemonger-Lane Gaol . —George Lord and Jane Mrrgan were brought up for re-examination , charged on suspicion of an attempt to aid and assist in 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 mako then * escape , but were pursued and taken into custody . Upon the return of the 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 tbe 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 by the inmates , and , from this and other circumstances it was strongly suspected that the prisoners were there forthe purpose of _assistfif g in the escape of some of them , and it was * strengthened from the fact of thewoman Morgan baVftig a son in prison for being engaged in the _later'Chartist riots . —The prisoners , who denied that they * knew anything about the articles discovered under the walls ofthe gaol , were held to bail . ;" u
WORSHIP-STREET . —An 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 . the 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 fresh charges against him . The 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 thathe held a . lucrative appointment at Somerset-House , selected . & 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 ofa 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 _» _Jria .: that . he wonld overtake them before they reached their destination . The prisoner , however , failed to * rejoin them , and having ascertained at his pretended address , that nothing was known of such is 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 , ah ironmonger , in tbe Queen ' s-road , Chelsea , who was favoured with a visit from the prisoner about a month smee , under the same circumstances . Another case was proved against him by Mr . ' E . Lawrence , a china-dealer , in Goswell-road , to whom he had given hia address at 25 , { Myddleton-square ; ahd 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 positively identified the prisoner as having obtained various goods by means ofa similar stratagem , the last offence having been committed only a few hours after he had 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 amusim _* _--and after several cases had been established he it length , exclaimed , "Well , really this is moii ' remarkable . I could not help . thinking , at the outsot that the first two or three-witnesses were indulging in the most wicked and wilful fabrications , for some purposes of their own ; but affit doe * not seem very likely that all the others would join the conspiracy , lean only conclude that the _^ hoie of these good people have really been scandalously swindled by _sonm unprincipled rbgue , bearing a , personal
resemoiance to myself , and whom they actually believe to be me . " Having thus delivered himself , the prisoner _assumi _^ flh attitude oflofty _fiomposure and listened to the relation of his subsequent delinquencies with the ah * of an immaculate martyr who had resigned himself _^ o endure in : silence the unmerited obloquy and ; persecution of an injurious world . —Several other tradesmen pressed forward to give evidence , but the magistrates considered that there was amply sufficient' to secure the ends of justice , and five conclusive eases haying 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 _m-iised

The society for which be appeared had considered it necessary to adopt auch steps as might have the effect of putting the public upon their guard , as it was well known that a set o men were coing about selling goods which were not what they purported to be , and thereby injuring the fair ahd honest trader . The man charged had received express crders not to go on the pavement but to stand in the road to deliver the hills ; and . it had been shown tbat be had not disobeyed the instruc d bill issued the
tions given to him .-A printe by complaining party was put in , and the premises were described as the Oriental Room * , for the sale of satin dresses , shawls , Ac , the proprietors being Messrs .

There was nothing before him to show that complainant was a fraudulent dealer , and the course w bich had been pursued , with the view of preventing parties' from % _owg to the shop , was of such a nature as to be calcu _' ated to cause a breach of tbe peace : it was in the power of complainant to prefer an indictment for a libel .

SlEr . iiNcnoi . r Catastrophe ox _inE Shannon . — Wednesday last a sail-boat left Williamstown quay , at the opposite side ofthe river , for Dromineer , at the Nenagh side . There were nine passengers on board and three boatmen . The boat was also laden with sheep and cows , purchased at the fair of Mountshannon , county of Galway , and the property of some of the men on board . The day was cold and stormy , and about half-way across there arose a sudden squall , which immediately swept away the sails . The boat then became unmanageable , and the passengers confused ; one of them
struck a cow with a stick , when she made a plunge , and with her hoof started one of the boards in the bottom of the boat , which instantly filled . with water . The unhappy passengers were seized with horror—they lost all presence of mind—and they sank , without a struggle , to rise no more . The boy at the helm saved himself by clinging to an oar . The passengers were ' 'jobbers , " four of them inhabitants of Nenagh , and named Edward Moore , Patrick _Cleary , John Flynn , and Thomas Egan , all of whom have left wives . Two other men were buyers of Mi ' . James Adams , of Cork , and had £ 400 in their possession .
WoNnEHS . op 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 16 deg . 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 the river has not been traced to its orig in , although Mi ' . Werne and his companions penetrated to 4 deg . north latitude . Further they could not go , owing to the rapid subsidence ofthe waters . The expedition had been delayed six weeks by the culpable
dilatoriness 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 , lap 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 the water-course . The hippopotamus reared his huge snout above th * surface ,-and wallowed in the gullies that on either hand run down to the stream ; enormous crocodiles caned alone 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 the strange Bhips , and making ambiguous gestures , variously construed by the adventurers as signs of friendship or hostility . Alternately sailing and towing , as the wind served or not ; constantly in sight of natives , but rarely communicating with them ; often cut off tor days from land b y 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 theu * spears , but neither showed a disposition to swim off and board the flotilla . —Blackwood . Mama , February 26 . —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 homble state . Last night , at half-past eight , a soldier of the 6 _* dth Bhot himself whilst on sentry at the palace . He is said to be dead _.

Astley's Ampmtheatre. A Very Important A...
ASTLEY'S AMpmTHEATRE . A very important addition has been made to the 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 night . Even the feats which he achieves in common with other performers gained a novelty by the perfect ease and finish with which be executed them . Generally the very best artists of the class make a hitch or two in the course of an
evening though they always repeat tbeir attempts till every proposed difficulty is solved . This young Hernandez ,. on the contrary- never . sa much as approached a failure ; while the moat daring leaps were taken without a show of effort , and with a cheerful smiling countenance . Judging from bis appearance , we should say he was Under fourteeen years Of age ; hut , 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 .
STANDARD . A new gran d * spectacle , entitled The Normans and Saxons , inwhich one hundred female warriors appear and perform many effective evolutions , is being played at this theatre every night . At the commencement of the piece , England has been subjugated by the Norman Bastard , and the spectacle 18 founded on the tyranny of his brigand chiefs to the conquered Saxons . Tbe plot is full of interest ; the scenery , dresses , and appointments excellent ; and we never saw a spectacle of such magnitude so well got up upon so small a stage . Plot and Counter Plot followed , and the evening's amusements
concluded with anew domestic drama , called The Fatal Ship ; or , the Rake , the Wife , and the Slather Th _* _s piece abounds with extraordinary nautical effects , - and romantic adventures . The excellent acting of Mr . John Douglass ( the lessee ) , and of _Messrj . Rayner , Gates , R . Honnor , and Silvain , and also of Mrs ' . Honrfor , elicited well-merited applause . In the last scene , where the spectator is presented with a view of both tbe main and middle deck of a pirate vessel during engagement , the effect is truly grand . We are glad to hear thatthe exertions of the manager are nightly rewarded witb crowded houses .

CATTLE . Smithi * iei . d , 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 , being a portion of the cargo from abroad , were very deficient in quality _. 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 per slbs .
The genei'fll top figure for beef was 3 s 8 d , yet a few very superior Scots sold at 3 s lOd per 81 bs . Prior to the close of the market , a fair clearance was effected by the salesmen .
