They were all apnrentices on bosrd the brig Britannia, ot Scarborough, which on Wednesday wee lying in Bugsby's. hole, the reach between Charlton and Biackwall point. About six o'cloca in the evening the three deceased youths, with another apprentice, were directed to go out in • boat to get up the kedge They had the tackling in the boat, and w hilst they were busily engaged in weighing the kedge the brig Glenelg, which mar r moored war, dagged her anchor, and was drifting round to the warp which ran from the boat to the Britannia. Those on board th. Glenelg called to the boat's crew to clip their tackling, but whether they were incapable of doing so, or that they did not unit. rstand the directing, could not be I ascertained. However the Glenelg Caine in co,tect with the warp, and the block at th de en ot it jammin in the stern I of the boat, the latter was i ns tantly draw n down. All assistance WAS given by those on board ; but owin g to the sweeping tide three perished, the fourth (Shawl saving himselt by grasping at a floating oar. The body of Maynard was picked up off Blackwell, and the other two near Woolwich Docks ard.—The jury returned a ver dict of "Accidental death." IRELAND. Dense, Jett' 21 A warrant was issued last night for the apprehen. sion, on a charge of felony, of Mr. W. Smith O'Brien. The hon. gentleman, as reported yesterday, suddenly left town for Wexford. It was rumoured that war rants were out agsfist Mr. Meagher and Mr. Darcy Magee ; but such is not the fact. Mr. Butt, Q.C., who addressed the juries on behalf of Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher, in the recent state trials, has been retained for the defence of Mr. Duffy, at the approaching commission. A proclamation has been issued, placing the city and county of Kilkenny, and the remaining portions of the counties of Cork and Waterford, under t'..e Crime Repression Act, as mentioned by us yesterday. The suspension of the Habeas Corpushas had a sedative effect on the fermenting spirit of the clubs. They are withdrawing very seosibly from the old manifesta tions of violence, and 1 should not be at all surprised if ninety per cent. of the "kingly and queerly weapons" were surrendered without a murmur. I understand the club-men have received distributive shores of the funds of their benefit socie ties, thus anticipating the day of sickness or distress, when such a fund was most necessary. I also learn that the general trades fund, composed of contribu tions front all the trades in Dublin, is to be allocated among the original contributors. This, at least, strikes at the root of combination, and pro tanto will prove a social gain. Another seditious journal is advertised, under the suggestive and appropriate title of the Ncicuate enkndor. Its advent is announced thus : Ovum ash Ahvuseu FEW:etc.—Oa Thursday next, and on every future M inlay and Thursday, will be published the Norgate Calendar, eucc.'ssor to the Irish Tribune, a political, military, and felonious jnurnal, edited by It. D. Williams arid Kevin I. O'Doherty, at present prisoners in Newgate Gaol, price 2d. The object of this journal is to teach the Irish people the ways and means of their deliver ance, and the tees and results of freedarr. when won. That it may do this effectively, a th i rd of the journal will Ir occupied with mili:a r y information furnished by the ablest authorities, under the heads of City Fighting,' Guerilla War,' • Military Engineering,' and ' Munitions of War.' All the requisite knowledge will be carefully arranged, and the war dt pinch. nt or the United Irishman, and the • I'ractical Instructor,' and Easy Lessons on Military Matters' of the Nation, reprinted. With the Name object the journal will be published in a convenient pocket shape, at the convenient pocket price of 21, and to facilitate its work it will be pubLsheil twice a week, the opinion of the edi.ors on an Irish revolution being, that if ''twere done, when 'tis done, 'twere well 'twere done quickly.'

The Ithadamanthus landed her freight of police at Waterford on Wednesday ; and on Friday the Duchess of Kent steamed 400 of the 3rd Buffs. The 11'am:ford Chronicle, with a " very " strong tendency to exaggeration, states that a Quaker gentleman "in an adjacent town"—of course C 10..- mel—supplied " bits of iron and wood" to all applicants, out of which 2,000 pikes were manufac tured! The same authority adds that " there are no less than 4,000 armed meh ready to take the field with arms, well calculated to turn the tables; and, what's better, without drilling." If this be the whole disposable force of Waterford, it is slight indeed com pared with the work. The Carrick clubs alone were said to count 2,000 stalwart men out of a total popnlat!on of 9,000! A correspondent from Cork writes : I believe that if things should be pushed to a crisis it will be found that the number of those who ar prepared to join in a physical struggle is very few. There are many led away by the excitement of hurraing and oaradiug, and fine quak ing, who are as ignorant of the matters in complaint as they are of Greek and Hebrew ; and beyond the hurraing, arid paraning, and line peaking, these would nut move a joint. It seems to me that iu Ireland " the peril'' is greatly over rated. QUICK JUSTICE.—A cow collector of Westmeath was roLbrd a few days since of 2001. on the highway. He made the lose El own to some peasantry, who pursued the robber, captured him, and he was hurried off to Alu'linger, where the amines were proceeding. Here be was arraigned, con vic:ed, and sentenced to transportation for life—the whole of these transactior_s occurring within 21 houre.

PROVINCIAL FREEHOLD LAND FOR WORK MEN.—SeVeral societies are ot. foot in the midland counties, the otject of which is to secure small plots of freehold ground to w , rking men, that they may use the land ter gardens, and in right of possessing it secure also a vote kr the county. A preliminary mectiog was ha.: on Tuesday, at the Guildhall, Worcester, with the view of considering the propri. ty of promoting the establishment of a Fre:hold Lend Society for that city and the western division of the county.—F. T. Elgie, Esq., was called to the chair, and addre.ted the meeting. He said that he had always been anxious to extend the suffrage to the working man, but that the freehold land society not only afforded him that privilege, but gave him an inn rest and a s like in the country. The soc:ety proposed to be established in Wort:ewer would be in duitaliou of that at Luminglaanu, which was most respie.al , ly connected, and numbered amongst its supporters members of parliament and gentlemen of high standing and benevolence. Mr. Elgie then read extracts trout the rules of the Birmingham society, showing that by the p..yment of small weekly sums a combi nation of members could raise an aggregate sum which would go for the purchase of a large quantity of land, and by obtaining it at tree usual wholesale price the same might be retailed to the working industrious artisan at p.ime cost, lantana of his having to pay enormous prices for small allot ments, as was th , case when such small purchases were made. It was estimated that by the payment rat the low weekly sum of ls. sad. per week f n which the humblest mechanic might loin) each member would become possessed of a piece of free hold land in the c curse of five years. lie contrasted this setzeme with the vnion.ry project of Fcargue O'Connor, and having further explained the details gave way to hlr.Arrow • %.1...; read letters from W. Liable, F.sq., who kindly offered to advance money fur the purchase of estate', and other individuals,who expressed themselves in favour of the propose, formation of the society. Mr. Arrowsmith also spoke of the social and political advantages to tee derived by the working man from the proposed scheme, and psr ticularly commented no the necessity at obtaining votes for the county, which was at present el.,clinated over by the' aristocracy ; and thus be hoped the ins. freeholders would be enabled to make a good front. lie c , r.cluded by imposing it resolution in favour of the proposed vstablishoo-nt.—Mr. Grainger, talloa -chandler, followed in the same line of ar gument, and said that the cultivation of a piece of land was the best sanitary measure that could he introduced ; for ex ercise in the open air would have a most healthy physical tendency on the members . . Ile spoke likewise at some length of the moral and political effects of the scheme, and con cluded Iry eecondi g the revelation.—Mr. Barnsley . showed by extracts from newspapers what had been done in War wickshire and Staff ,rdshire by conferring freeholds on the members of similar societies.—The lice. W. Crowe, baptist miniatet, made a suvestion with regard to ascertaining the necessary legal charges consequent upon the transfer of land, and wanton to speak of the necessity of securing aufficent county votes to neutralise the effect of "the Chandos clause," which gave the preponderance to the aristocratic and agricul tural influences.—A conversation then ensued with regard to legal charges, the propriety of making • provision for the erection of cottages on the allotments for the members, the necessity of being united in the purchase of land, and not to purchase small allotments "itn,any private speculation; and active steps haring been taken for the formation of the society the meeting broke up.—The Coventry Herald says, " We are glad to perceive that the Freehold Land Association has fairly taken root in Coventry. The number of those who have already joined it is considerable, and the high respect ability of the gentlemen who have consented to become the officers et the society is a guarantee that it will be conduCted with full security and efficiency. The. societreffert to every working man who can afford to subscribe Is. 6d. pee week the certainty of becoming, in no long time, the possessor of a 'freehold - and • vote for the county. It wilt purpose of improving the social condi while without agitation it secures them franchise." A letter in the same plan of the association : t of enabling mechanics, by unltiee their making a common fund, to buy land in htftte pee" and than to retell it In mavenlans: plots to the members., whereby they will wive one-half of the wool I eon of *miller plots, bought iwparately. The null. b ore PO ts being ran; se to be acee.eible met working men, the weekly paymen to only le. ed., wbile e ven three may be poetponed, without time, in a period of bad trade or Moro. As an esumple of :be win king of the society, I will euppcee 1,000/. of the eociety's funds employni in por t:buten four acres of eligible land, which might be divided into 32 allotments of 630 moue yards each, at the cost of 31f. sa. each allotment. Every member, according to this calculation, would have, for the same or Ice mone from three to cis times suet . the quantity of land tumidly set out for -building a tenement in any part . of Coventry, or the Butts, or Itilleelit. searT first lot of land purchased by this els ciety will he divided by the veyor into plots of equal value, whim nered, and eorreeponding numbers are then written upon arms,clod and put into a boo, and the rentor members on the bunks d. all out the numbers of the lota they arc each to have. The next aed all subsequent lOU e of land interlined by the society are dealt with in tie same way, the neat mar memltere who have not alreadVrawn their lots being entitled to draw for the game. If any mem rs en. litkel to draw fora lot chase to forego their right till a future time, or if amp of the member , who have drawn tote wish to elehange Ay together. eon do so. The 1 Ast, when drawn are mortgaged. to the society, to N emeth* future wee kly subecriplions and legal Le tenet, and when the same are paid, a -.Opt is written on the moil. gegoaleed, and the members are entitled to their several freeh emed olds to themselvee slid heirs for ever, free of expenee. The pr eociety may bee. naidered as the beet introduction to, or companion of, the Ilifferrat building societies, inasmuch as thie provides cheap and eligible &nee for the hotter. which they citable the membera to build. Indeed, it may be fairly asserted in many instances that the difficulty of obtaining, and the dent - nets of, small pieces of building lend hav very much burdened the operation of building scaled,. hitherto. e The member" of the land moody will have these deadvant. ag, a cl. areal away for them. The member on getting b $ plot of rarden also gets his county vote. A similar plan bee (or some time been in suc cessful operation at Itirreinaham. On Monday, the mem bers of the " Freehold Land Societe " had a procession in celebration of their taking rosseseion of a second estate pur chased by them at Perry Darr. Alter the arrival of the pro cession upon the land. a numerous "üblic meeting was held, W. Scoolefield, Esq., M.l'., in the chair. The objects of the society were advocated by Ald. Weston, Mr. It. K. Douglas, Mr. O. Dawson, M.A.. and othe:s. It appeared .bat in the cours, of the eight months during which the society had been in existence, it has enrolled 1,300 members, who are possessed of 1,600 shares, raid that it GIVI conferred treeholds upon 195 members. The society is now in .resty for two or three eligible estates, and purposes, before the 25th Jan., to expend 5,0001. in freehold property, to tattler elictortil qualifications on members in time for next teat's registration.—The proceedings of another maociation, te.e " Land Savings Bank," are thus narrated : the seventh annual meeting of this institution was held at the bank, in Nottingham, on the Gth inst., to receive the report tai el I annual s tatement of the accounts o f the institution ; the ' president, the Rev .1. W. Brooks, of St. Mary's , in the . chair. The report gave an analysis of the distinguishing [ features at the institution, from which we extract the follow ing paasages : The wonetary transactions of the institution during the year bane been 2,9211. les., which, :eldest to the previmm traneactilons dat ing from October 6 , 1015 , give eat aggrrpt• of 8,14051. is. lud. number of eeparote treehold allotments weld by the inetitution skier its entabliehment are upwards et lat.

The matitution continues to support a travelling agency in the northern and miilland counties, to obtain allotments of land of a rood each on rent, far the occupancy of the poorer claises of artisans and agricultural la bourer,. The Object s of this insti tution have been already very exten sively adopted by means of its agency in these couuties, and by were epowlence end publication in mime other Weeklies of England, Scotland, Wake, and Ireland. each eoclety is independent in its management.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Cmiwasman, JULY 24. Caower rims.—Before the Lord Chief Baron. At the sitting of the court the prisonen Gould, Bryant, Edwards, and Goodey, who were convicted on Thursday ct burglary and feloniously receiving stolen property, were brought up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for ten years. AGGRAVATED BVROLART. — J. Jasper, 23, J. Warner, 34, and M. Dorrington, who surrendered, were indicted, the two former fur burgleriounly entering the dwelling-house of John Harrison, tied stealing 221. in gold and silver money, and silver plate value 1501, his property, and the woman for feloniously counselling and abetting in the commission of the robbery.—Mr. Ballantine, in opening the ease, described it as being ono of a most aggravated and e xtraordinary chamter, and the following evidence was adduced : Mr. J. Harrison, the prosecutor, deposed that he resided at Chigwell. On the nightof the 12th February he retired to bed with bia wife at their usual hour, about ten o'clock, having previously seen that all the fastenings of the house had been properly secured. Ile was awoke about three o'clock in the morning. by the crashing of glare and the screams of his wife. lie got up, end, by the light of a candle which one of them was holding, he observed three men coming through the window, which had been smashed in, into the bed-room, and at the same moment his wife rutted out of the room and ran down stairs. There was a large bend. bell in the room, and he took it up and began ringing it, when one of the men made • snatch at it, and said, " Oive that to me," in a feigned voice. Witness struck t tie man upon the bead, and he imm' diately seined him by the throat, and thrust him against the bed-post, and at the same time told him to hold his noise. While this men was holding him the other two I proceeded to the corner of the room, where the plate.chest was kept, behind a child's bed, and concealed from view, and they dragg. d it out, and varied it to the window. While this wee going on the man who was holding him by the throat demanded his money, and he took his purse out of his trousers pocket, which contained twenty two pounds in gold and silver, and gave it to him, at the same time saying, " Well, there is enough of it; don't hurt me." The man replied, " You have hut me ;" meaning when he had struck him with the bell. One of the men had a pistol in his hand, and he flourished it in witness's face. When the othi r two men hail gone out or the window the man who hail limit holding him loosed his hold, sea the chest of plate having been previously thrown out of the win dow ke followed the others. The man had estinguished the light, and prosecutor having called up his wile began to give an alarm, and on his doing so the same voice hu had heard before called out " Hold your noise; hold your tongue; what do you mean?" The robbers took away the hand bell with them, and when it was afterwards shown to hi he saw blood upon it. The men were all disguised by hav m ing their faces covered ; and be was unable to identity any of them. The witness proceeded to state that the daughter of the female prisoner had been in his service as housemaid, but she had mieconducted herself, and left his service a short time before the rubbery, and she woe well acquainted with he habits of his family, and knew where the plate chest was kept.—Cross examined : The plate box was found afterwards in the forest, but the cements had been recovered.—Thomas Cumbers, a man with a wooden leg, and who was brought from the gaol to give evi dence, made a variety of statements tending to incriminate not only the prisoners but himself.—Several witnesses were then examined with a view to corroborate the statement of the approver, but they entirely tailed in doing so. It was attempted to be shown that a hat which was left behind by the thieves belonged to the prisoner Jasper, but the witni al who was called to prove the fact would not say more than that it was like the hat he wore. It was also set up theta pair of shoes which had been seen in Derrington's houses cone vended with footmarks near the house of the prosecutor, and that they belonged to the prisoner Warner, but the shoes were not produced, and the evidence was vi ry incon elusive.—Mr. Chambers was about addressing the jury for the defence, when the Chic( Baron said he really did not see any evidence to confirm the accomplice, and ha was of opi nion that the case °wait not to go to the jury under such cir cumstances.—Mr. Ballantine said he must admit that there was very little testimony to corroborate the accomplice, and he should therefore leave the matter in the hands of the court —The jury consequently. under his lordship's direc tion, returned a verdict of Nut Guilty. There were other indictments against the prisoners fur burglaries of a similar character, but as the charges almost entirely depended upon the evidence of the accomplice, and there was not any addi tional corroborative testimony, Mr. Ballantine withdrew from prosecuting them. MI*RDER To DETAIN lIIERTAL FEE:A.—Mary Kay, 28, was indicted for the walla' murder of William Constable, alias Watt., by administering to him a large quantity of arsenic. The circumstances under which this charge wite preferred app. arid to be of an atrocious cherub r. The pa wner, who is a married woman, lived with her Lueliavel at a smell tillage called Win, a few miles from Harwich, and kept a little grocer's or chandler's shop, her family consisting of herself and ht r hastsand two children, end a half brother, the deceased. Oa June 8, the deceased, witnout previously having had any thing 'he matter with him, suddenly com plained of excessive pain in the stomach, and ruched most ' violently. Ile continued in ti's etste the whole ni' ht, and the next morning a medical man was tent for, and worse symptoms appearing another doctor was consulted, who told the prisoner if her brother got worse to send for him. The deceased did get worse, hut the prisoner did not send for any medical man, and on Sunday, the Ilth June, the de ceased died. The evidence against the prisoner was, as usual in [We of this description, purely of • circumstantial cha. ratter, but it was of a most cogent description. It wu proved that when the deceased came home on the Thursday prior to his death, the prisoner sent for some porter, and when it was brought she was seen to shake some powder into it from a screwed up piece of d paper, which she then warmed in • saucepan and gave to the eceued, who drank it, and alm-st immediately afterwards he was attacked with the fatal malady of which he died. Shortly alter the deceived wrie buried the authorities considered it advisable to' have the batty ex• burned. This was done ; the stomach was removed and submitted to the examination of Professor Tayler and other scientific gentlemen, and the result of that examination showed roust clearly that the death of the deceased was occasioned by arsenic, ciaht grains of that poison, a quantity sufficient to destroy two grawn-up persons, being found in different parts of the stomach. It seemed that some time before the Bth of June the prisoner had gone to the seers tary of a sort of lienclit or burial society at Harwich, and had insured the life of the deceased, whom she made her nominee, and upon his death she would have been entitled to a sum of 91. or 111.; she had false.y teprenentell his age to be 38, when ho was nearly 40, an age which would have disentitled him to be admitted into the society, and she also described him by false name. From the first moment of his being attacked the prisoner eeclared several times that be would be sure to die, and said that it she got the money she should buv a horse and cart, and turn higgler. Immediately after the death of the deceased the prisoner requested one of her neighbours to write to the society ar.d inform them of the feet, sad request them to take the necessary steps to hand her over the money to which she was entitled, but it seemed that their suspicions had been excited, and the money never was pea—These facts having been deposed to by the wit !lessee, Mr. Serjeant Jones made an earnest appeal to the iury on behalf of the prisoner.—The Chief Baron summed up, and the jury at Walnut 8 o'clock returned a verdict of him Guilty. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, JULY 24. The commission of assize for this county was opened on Saturday by Mr Baron Rolfe.—Mr. Baron Platt did not arrive until Sunday morning. This morning, Mr. Baron Platt took hie suet in the Crown Court. The caleni.sr contain. , the names of 43 prisoners. I here were five special jury causes and 24 venues. The cases tried up to the dining of the court were not worthy a report. stances became bad, and a gentleman named Good, residing at Hull, to whom Mr. Durkin was indebted for a cargo of can, took steps for making him • binkr.tpt, and accord ingly, on the 26th of November, a fiat was issued agaand it.st Mr. Durkin, the plaintiffs w ere appointed assignees, they took the usual steps for ascertaining the amount of Mr. Burkill's property, for the purpose of causing it to be equally divided among the creditors. The defendants sold the wheat in question in December, and on inquiry being made by the I plaintiffs with respect to it there were three different allegations made by the defendants. They said, in the first place, that at the t ime of the contract ' it was agreed that Messrs. Newman and Cartwright should hold the wheat until the price was paid, and that they were to tell it at their pleasure for the purpose of repaying them selves nut of it—an odd story, the learned counsel for the plaintiff suggested, as they had had bills given for the price payable at three months. The defendants said, secondly, that for ore of the parcels of wheat —viz., the 602 quarters, an accommodation bill was given, and that it was made a bargain that in consideration of the acceptance of that bill thee should have a r ght to sell the wheat. The learned enuesel submitted that there was no pretence for such a thing—that it was not an accommodation bill, but a bill due to Mr. Newman by Mr. Burkill. Afterwar e ds a third answer was se t u p viz., that on th 28th of October a letter was written by Mr. Burkill to New man, in which authority was given to the defendants to sell this wheat, on account of the price of it which was thee due. The different accounts of the transaction, on examination, were found to be very unsatisfactory ; but, on looking into the corn spondence between the parties, a letter from the de tentlants to Mr. Burkill, dated the 18th of Novemb r, 1840, was found, and this letter, it was contended for the plaintiffs utterly annihilated a right on the part of the defendants to sell the wheat, for they sought authority to do so in these words :—" Would it not be as well for us to have au otder in hand to sell the Da ntzic whi at if an oppor tunity presented itself ?" Atter explaining the ninon for delay in bringing the action, the learned counsel concluded by alleging that the defendants had sold the wheat without any authority to do so, and against the will of the assignees, who, acting on behalf of the creditors of the hank rapt, now sought to recover the value of the wheat so disposed of. Mr. Burkill's evidence as to what were the terms upon which he dealt with the defendants was of course very ma terial, and he stated, in answer to his lordship, that the de fondants were in the habit of selling his consignments to meet ante acceptance., and that he had not disputed their right t . do so ; whereupon Mr. Knowles submitted that such evidence was an answer to the plaintiffs' case. It was clear that there was some un derstanding at the time of this contract, looking at which Burkill could never expect the defendants to credit him to so large an amount, merely on security of the bills ; and this proposition, he sail, was borne out by Burkill'a own conduct, for he had taken ro step either to sell the wheat or to remove it out of the poi-scission of Newman. Mr. J ratite Cresswcll said his present impression was that this would turn out a mere question of cuts. Some further evidence was given, and his lordship then decided that there was no case as against Cartwright, and , hat, with respect tn the other defendant, Newman, the plain tiff must be nonso.ited. He observed—lt seems to me, that although these goods were sold on credit in the first instance, till the bills be c ame due, yet on failure on the part of Burkill, he had nu right, nor had his assignees, standing in his place, to demand possession of the goods without tenderirog the price ; and it seems to me that although the right of pro perty might be in them, the right of possession was not, and that therefore this action in novor is nut maintainable. The plaintiffs were according:) , ni nsuited. POLICE.-Y estrefiDAY. GUILDHALL.—Tae CASE OF JOHN BALLARD Leovn. —Mr. Alderman Johnson, in reference to the shove case, said that several benevolent persons had entrusted him with subscriptions, to be applied according to his discretion, for the benefit of a person named Lloyd, who appeared some time since at that court; and having m ale many inquiries concern log him, he did nut consider him entitled to the relief awarded. He (Aid. Johnson) had arranged for his going abroad, where he might obtain permanent employment for himself and family, intending to aeply the subscriptions sent , to him for that purpose, and to ;ay the difference himself ; but that individual objected to that ceurse'of proceeding, and wished the donations to be given to him, which request was refused. As be should be sitting all the week, it Mr. Lloyd chose to call and remove the unfavourable impressions he laboured uuder, he should he glad to be spared the pain of requesting the various contributors to apply for the return of their tiona.ions. WORSH ll' STREET. —See SOEAKNAULT.— Sheeand J. endanan were charged with having committed a mur derous assault upot, their landlord and his wife, Michael and Mary Riordan, and also with violently a-saulting the police. The complainants Riordan were sitting quietly in their kitchen on Saturday night when the prisoners, who had dged some time in their house, returned home in a state of intoxication, and after conducting themselves in the most outrageous manner in their apartment, proceeded up stairs, and forced their way into a room in which their daughter and mealier young woman were in bed. On hearing an outcry from the latter they hastened up to their assistance, and endeavoured to persuade the prisoners to retire to their own room, when they were instantly attack, d by She*, who chased them back into the kitchen, where he set upon the old man, who was felled to the ground, and brutally beaten and kicked by both prisoners. ilis cries of "murder" having brought several other ledgers to his assistance, the prisoners retreated to the upper part of the house, where they encountered the landlady on the first-floor landing place, when Shee dealt her a desperate kick in the chest, which precipitate el her down the Hight of stairs, and so seriously injured her, that she was carried up to bed in en apparently litehas condition. In the meantime, police-constable Doi owav and two other officers, who were attracted by the cries of " murder," made their way up to the prisoners' room, the door of which was fastened, and upon bursting it open they found that the prisoners had broken up the bedstead to furnish themselves with weapons, and Shee, who was brandishing one of the bed-posts in both his hands, made a blow at the officer's head, which it fortu nately mewed, but descended upon Ills shoulder and felled him to the ground. The two other officers then grappled with Shee, and succeeded in getting him down, lout while attempting to secure him the other prisoner hurled the h. d post at them, which struck one of them on the leg, and rendered him completely powerless. The prisoners, however, were both ultimately overpowered and conveyed to the station hou-e.—Mr. tlammill ordered Shee to pay two several sums of M. for the ass: alts upon the old man and his wife, or in default to undergo four months' impriemmeot, and, in addition, to be cnnmitted fur the further term of I two month-, without the alternative of a fine, for his assaults upon the police. The prisoner Callanan was also fined 51., or to be committed in default for two mouths, for assaulting his landlord, and, an additional month for resisting the officers. BENEFuLENce.—The magistrate acknowledged his receipt of a remittance of 61. 18s.

M A HYLEBON BODDERY nT A SOLDIER —W. Knight, a private in the Scots Fusilier Guards, was charged with having committed an assault upon Mr. Ebene zer Evans, 10, Augusta street, Regent's park, and stolen from him a silver watch.—Prosecutor stated that on the previous evening he and a friend went into the George tavern, liampetead, to partake of refreshment, and while there the prisoner with anolier person came in. In the course of a quarter of an hour, we they all left the err mees, prisoner ask d him (prosecutor) wnat it was o'clock, and on his pulling out his watch and giving him the required infor mation, they all walked on togs thee as far as the Load of Hay, into which they entered and partook of a small quan tity of gin. On leaving, the prisoner again wished to knew the time of night, saying that he must be home by 10 o'clock, and while proceeding along by a dead wall, the prisoner snatched at the watchtsuard e f prosecutor who had a second time taken hie watch from his pocket, and with the said guard pulled him forcibly along. lie (prosecutor) wee then thrown down by the prisoner, who rolled him in the mud and kicked him violently. While lying upon the ground he felt a tug at his guard, which was broken, and when, by dint of great exertion, he regained his footing, he found that his watch was gone. A constable. who hoard a cry of " Police." .peedily came to the spot, and took the prisoner into custody.—Police-constable Austin, after conveying the prisoner to the station-house, repaired to that part of the road where the robbery occurred, and was there fortunate enough to find the watch, se also a ring, which had been torn from the guard, a part of which was still gojssiog. The prisoner was much the worse for drink.— r. Broughton committed him to Newgate for trial. WES IMINSTER.—ROMIERIES WITH VIOLENCE. — J. Doyle, T. Haycock, J. Mothy, M. A. klynn, and A. Jones, were nudity examined, charged with a robbery attended with great personal violence. The pesoner Jones formerly lived with Thomas Sale, who was executed for the murder of Mr. Belichambers. Edward Preston was accosted on the night of the 17th instant by the 'males, and induced to accomp eel them to a house in St. Ann-street, hest minstcr. Flynn immediately left under some pretence, and' Jones then unceremoniously thrust her hand i .to the pro secutor's pocket, and snatched his watch with such violence as to break it oil a stout guard. The prosecutor struggled to regain pc-session of his watch, when in an instant Flynn and Molloy entered the room, and knocked the prosecutor down, the latter prisoner holding him while the woman escaped. He then endeavoured to secure Molloy, but Doyle and Hay cock immediately made their aepearance, and attacked the pro xc!t or with such violence that he w es fearful of retaini , st his hold of Molloy, or endeavouring to secure either of the other., lest lie should be murdered. Haycock and Doyle were taken into custody shortly afterwards, and the other prisoners subsequently apprehended.—The whole of the pri soners were committed fur trial. THAMES.—ROBBEKY ON SRLPEOARD.—J. Johnson, C. Jarvis, and J. A. Marion, were a3ain brought up, after se veral remands, charged with having stolen 180 crowns, the property of a German farmer named }letting. The facts of the case have already been given.—Mr. Ballantine said he would accept two good securities in 401. each, with notice of for Marion, but he could not part with Jarvis, and the whole of the prisoners should be committed for trial. HAMMERSMITH. —ALLEGED STABBINO.—J. Walden was re-examined, charged with having feloniously wounded Henry Allen.—The prisoner was on Tuesday night last with the wounded man and several other persons, at the Pack horse and Talbot public-hottee, Turnbam green, when • quarrel arose between Allen and the prisoner, and the former wanted the latter to tight him. They fought, and the land lord turned them out of the house ; when outside the pre toner was observed to have an open clasp knife in his hand, at which moment the fight was recommenced, and Allen and the prisoner were both down on the ground.

Tug Coils TRADE —ALDER AND ANOTM ED V N EWMAN AND CARTWRIGHT.— George Alter, jun., and 1 0/ , '• liam Farthing, the assignees of John Burkill, were the plaintiffs; and R. D. Newman and J. .1 Cartwright were the deft 'Wants. The action was in trovcr• The licit count of the declaration alleged the goods in Question to be in the posseceion of the bankrupt; the second in the posses sion of the assignee'. The defendants plead. d not guilty ; that the bankrupt was not possessed; that the assigneis were not possessed ; and that the plaintiffs were not the assignees. Mr. Martin stated the cane. The plaintiffs were the assignee. of a person called John Burkill, who became a bankrupt in 1841. One of the defendants, Mr. New man, is a large corn merchant at Leeds ; the other defen dant, Mr. Cartwright, is a gentleman who was partner with him in a warehouse at Wakefield, where they stored corn. This action was brought to recover the value of 261 quarto.; of Dantric wheat, via., 8431. 14s.' 9d., which were afterwards sold by the defendants at a small lose. The bankrupt, Mr. Burkill, was a large corn merchant at Louth, and he and t .e defendants had a great many transactions together. Mr. Burkill at the time of this particular transaction was in very good credit, and on the of October. 1840, Mr. Newman sold to him three parcels of wheat-281 quarters which were lying in Mr. Newman's warehouse at Leeds, 602 quarters which were lying et the same place, and 2GI quarters, which formed the subject of this action, lying at Mr. Cartwright's warehouse et Wakefield. It was Dartzic whet; it waisold at 645. Gd. a quarter; and it was delivered at the Wakefield granary from a vessel called the Pearson. On the 6th of October this took place, and on the same day (the contract being to pay for the wheat by bills) two bills for 5001 each, at three months, were given by the bank. rupt to Mr. Newman on account of this wheat. On the 20th of October three other bills were given, making altogether 3,4981. lls. Bd. Between the 6th and the 24th of October the wheat was weighed over, according to practice, and it was sold at the rate of 601ba per bushel. Ihe exact amount being ascertained an invoice was sent in for the ascertained price, which squared with the amount of the bills. The law in such a transaction was this: when an article such as wheat has been sold, to be paid for by bills, on the wheat being measured, the price ascertained, and the bills given on account of it, the wheat becomes the property of the buyer, and he can deal with it as he thinks fit. On the 24th of October, ther b efore, this wheat L WY as much the property of thebankrupt as any I property which might be in possession of the gentlemen of I the jury. About the end of October Mr. Be:kill's circa"- one of Allen's legs, and Allen instantly exclaimed " 1 m stabbed!" and, tearing his trousers open, an extensive wound was seen across the under pert of the thigh, f fr om which the blood was fa st pouring. The prison< r. whose hands were covered with blood, ran off home to wash them, and Allen was carried home, where ho was attended by a surpono—Sergeant Butler now stated that since the first ex amination the woundid men habeen convyed from moat the house to St. George's Hosp i ta l . He hail e seen him at the hospital that day, and found that he was at present go ing on favourably, and he produced a medical certificate from the house surgeon, which stated that the wound was en incised one, whereas at the first examination it was stated to be a jagged one. Two witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner, who give an entirely different account of the transaction.—Mr. Paynter said after that evidence he would admit the prisoner to hail, himself in 401, and two sureties in 201. each, until next Wednesday fortnight, the oth of August. The required sureties being in attendance bail was given and the prisoner was liberated. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY HYMN*. Pending some more decisive exhibition in Irish affairs, in one sense or the other, there would seem to be a tracked indisposition in the Stock Exchange to embark in speculative or other operations of any magnitude. For it is prudentially calculated that, if insurrection in that country should actually show as bold a front in deeds as in words, the fall in public securities might be of serious consideration ; whilst, t on the contrary, a quiet subsidence of the ef fervescence now reiAning there, or its compul sory suppression, might give such an impulse to prices as to carry them to a higher point than they have hitherto reached, so far as the present year. We have had, therefore, what may be termed a waiting market, the transactiots few, fluc tuations of small account, and more lookers on than actual dealers. Consols opened and were done at 86.1. but afterwards were bought as high as 871, leaving off 87,1 for money, and 87,1 to for account. Reduced Threes 871 to 1.

The Forth packet from Vera Cruz brings favour- t, able Beet unts of the progress and prospects cf the t United Mexican mines, which appeared to be ap- 31 preaching the so long hoped-for state of bonanza. fj 'f he company here are understood to have received a a remittance of 70,000 dole. in specie, and 2,0001. in bills L I of exchange, by this arri v a l, which still left a balance t 4 in the hands of the treasurer in Mexico of 80,000 dollars. These amounts show an increased produc tion, or balance, in the month of 50,000 dollars. A general meeting of the proprietary is called for Wed nesday, when it is supposed the directors will be pre pared to declare a dividend. The committee of Spanish American bondholders have received from Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, their agents in Mexico, a letter, of which the follow- 1 in g is a copy : NVe are f oroured with your letters of the 7th April and Ist 1 May, and your observation , shall be ke p t in view and availed I ' in support of your claims on this government. T he treat y of peace being ratified, and the American triao;x having coated this city, the Mexican government will be re-esta blished here on the 14th inst. We have already had a con ference with the government on the subject of the claims of the bondholder.; end we have the pleasure to inform you that the best dispositions are manifested on the part of the ministers to meet, as tar as they possibly can, the views and wishes of the bondholders; and they state their readiness to enter into such arrangements as they consider will prove ac ceptable and satislactisry to their for. creditors ; hut that it is out or their power to adopt decisive measures until the government is re-established in Mexico. We hope, there tore, by next packet, to have satisfactory advices to CJLIIMU , nicate to you, and m re particularly in reference to the ap propriation of the indemnity money, a portion of which, we trust, will be set apart towards the liquidation, so well as the interest, of the foreign debt. The Jamaica papers, by the Forth, mention the arrival there, from Maracaibo, of General Paez, the ex•presideet and illustrious liberator of Venezuela. The veteran exile had not been able to make head against his enemies. As Santa Anna, ex-president of Mexico, had also reached the same bland, Ja maica would seem the place of refuge for republican sovereigns of the new world, as England for kings of the old world. The Cambria steamer, from Boston, brings exchange from New York on the 11th instant lower at 1091 to 110, therefore no specie has come by her, as it was expected would have been the case , because those rates would leave no profit on the operati.m. The New York agents of Niessrs. Rothschild had, it is said, been buyers of exchange to some extent, to which was attributed the reduction of the premium and the lower quotations noted. EN GLUM FUNDS.

His only object in et doing was to procure for the English shareboldera a greater control over their property than they had under the pretend stratutea. Ile read a report, from which he argued that the frelings of the Dutch hoard were not friendly to this alteration, which, in his opinion, would enable the concern to go on to prosperity. the heed direction in Holland consisted of six persons, one of whom happened to be an itinglirinan, and tour directors were in legidon, but still if they had all wished to go to Holland, they would not be condilered tie forming the Dutch board. lie con-idered that the number ought to be 12, and that the London board ought to have a representative at the head direction in Amsterdam. At the last meeting in June, 1018, he attended, and the day before the meet ing he heard that a hostile deputation was come front Liver pool with fresh demand% On this oee.iown he entered his protest against them as neither having the sanction ot him self nor at any of the other directors in England. Still the revolution' were carried by the force of the proxies brought by toe gentlemen from Liverpool, several of whom were parties to the former arrangement between himself and the other directors. He was perfectly cep-tin that there was ocarcely the owner of a single proxy out of the 50,000 share", who knew how greatly it was to be toed to the detriment of their property. They now found oat that another call was matte, and that was not owing ta the Dutch gentle men or the London board, but to the real of the tot of gentlemen from Liverpool. The directors were urged by himself to purchase the lan I, and they made arrangements for that purr ose, for the land between Utrecht and Rotterdam, for which purpose they agreed to a call of le% per share. Another call of lea. had b::n now made, and be was ewe that a great pressure would be put on to get in the arrears due from the shareholders. All this , would not have happened but for the inopportune conduct of the gen. Unica from Liverpool. He would conclude by inviting them to air nify by their proxies at the next meeting which course had been mo.t agreeable to them—that pursued by the London board or tee patties from Liverpool. In the meantune the London directors would do all in their power to undo if possible what had be. a done, so as to carry on the work to a happy coenplerion.— Mr. Holland, one of the Liverpool shareholders, gave an account of the reroons which induced them to make the demands they did, in doing which he dissected the prospectus of the company, and elated that the understanding wan that the manage ment was to rest with the joint direction in England and Holland. Ile found that 911,000 out of the 100,000 shares bad got into the hands of Englishmen. Salaries might be an object to the directors, but whether they were entitled thereto from any exertions on their behalf was another question. In one short twelve month 300,000/. Lad been invested In bonds without their sanction. These and other circum stancee led them to have no confidence in the head direction ; but whet in oats mentioned to them, they elated that these bonds were bought at the leatigation of the London board. He admitted that Mr. Reed', objects were a step in advance, but were not ouch as would satiety the ghat eholders. He and his Liverp , ool friends insisted 1114 the proprietors should have a control in the representation, without which they would never progress to their satisfaction, nor could they obtain their general meetings for explanation. He would now ask, how could these things be offenstre when they were merely proposals for carrying out the agreement, and giving the shareholders in this country a majority in the n.anagement. They did, however, consider there proceedings as hostile, and calls had been made in con sequence; the property was now further depreciated, and their shares in arrear were threatened with forfeiture within 14 days. Was this to the purpose of *suing a new prospectus? They had the materials at hand: there was their 260,0001., and there was their con cession of the line. He ooncleded by denouncing the original pro s and the cor:octets of the scheme, for the manner in which they bad deprived the ihareheiders of the control owe their properer. —Mr. Moisternian, jun. (a director), def roiled the conduct of the board, and algid that the party from Liverpool had completely open the ArraAgeloAsta that were making by the two board,, Ile decLrsd frown his heart that everything he and his friend, had put forth was genuine and true, and that if the concern had been thrown into any difficulties, it must be traced to the busy into rference of a woofer of shareholders. —Mr. De Vaux justified the purchase of the burls csi the part of the direetoes.—Mr. Chaplin (a director) also explainu and stated be still bald his 4 , 000 shores in the company.—Anee W m ," discussion, end advice from Mr. Bennett as to a conciliatory COW% resolution wen passed for a conference taking place between three or the directors (the Chairrnan, Mr. Chapin), and Mr. Maynard) awl three of the Liverpool preprtetnni (Milers.
