ISOILIC Tel RECUIDILL William Henry Wheeler, who was eon. iettel on Monday of perjury, was brought up for judgment unit sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve moi.ths.

Tho primmer. liadh..tl. been several times convicted of robberies on board vessels in the river, mud the property named in the indictment had also been stolen from a vessel in the Thames. The Recorder, in addressing the prisoner', said, th•y haying both been before convicted, he had no he:Widow as to the sentence he ought to pas; but a. it was the lint time he had passed sentence under the recent act, substituting penal servitude in this country in lieu of transportation to the colonies, he thought it right to Pay that die pri.men would undergo one year's imprisonment in Pentonville pr.aaa, and the remainder of the four ye in they would be emptoyed on 11.411.: of the public works, either at Portsmouth er elsewhere.

Is. 31d. The prieoner statud he had committed the robbery through want. Thu Recorder, in passing sentence, said the offence ni which the prisoner but pleaded guilty was an ungrateful one, but from the depositions it appeared there might be some truth in his being in want. It was yet &Ranee the prisoci r should be in want when :there was so much em. royuient fur able-bodied men. Nut only was there ahundant employment, but masters had to a certain degree been obliged to become tho servants of their workmen, l and have been compelled, from the scarcity of laboitrets and the general prosperity of the courier; ; to give v. imt wages they demanded ; and, therefore, there was no excuse in the primmer committing an off:uee from want. The pri soner was then iientet.eed to sin. months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. Henry Julinson, aged 22, described as a clerk, pleaded guilty to stealing a telescope, value 9i. Gil., the property ot Robert (downy, and also guilty to an indictment fa sti til ing a silver moon and fork, value Ms., the property of Mr. Frank Cle mow, which were found a his luggage.

It appeared that the prisoner had been in the employ of Blesses. ighton, the eat naive bookbinder, of Sboe.lane, for the lest 12 months, earning 30s. a week wages, and for some time past Meads. Leighton had mimed a large quantity 01 book' entrusted to them to bind, to the extent of about SO/. worth. The prisoner having, in July, sold to Mr. Kettle, bookseller, of Holborn, several books, stating he was a book dialer, on a subsequent day offered to sell two "Christopher Tadpole' and " Henrietta Temple." f it 34., which, being %Ind, r the publishing price, led to the ap,rchei.aion of the prisoner, and the books being identified as Oeieg part of the stock entrusted to Mr. Leighton to bind. Mr. Kettle proved the books being offered to him for sale for 31.; the trade price was 4s. 81d. Edward Jennett, in the employ of Messrs. Leighton, identified the books as part of a quantity stolen from his employers, entrusted to them to Mod. Mr. liallentino said he should not struggle with the ease, but allow a verdict of guilty to be recorded, and call wit nesses to give evidence of die previous good character of the prisoner. A verdict of Guilty was then recorded. Several f.les bore testimony to the good conduct of the prisoner whilst in their service, and stated he was in the habit of earning as much as 325. a week.

Aley. 21, was iudieted for stealing a pocket book and 1604 in bank notes, the property of Thomas liredis, from hM person. The prosecutor stated that he arrived in this country ' from Pert Philip a short time ago. He was living at a ' suttee-house at Paddington, and one day be met the pri socer In Hyde Park. They had some conversation, in the course of which she told hint that slit was hungry and friendless, and he then took her to a publiahonse, and gave her s nee refreshment. They prolonged their stay till eight o'clock at sight, by which time each of them were rather "fresh, — and they then walked to the park, and separated. Immediately after she was gone be missed his pocket-book, In which there were two bank notes for 1501. ; bat he did not tell anybody, as be was a total stranger to tho mode of reding in such matters. When he got home he told l i a e adlord, and acting on his advice, he went and told the police. Fran the other evidence it appeared that the prisoner, who could neither read ncr write, was quite ignorant of the value of the notes. She went to a public-house and asked for ebonite fur a dl. note, placing on the counter one fur W. en questioned es to how she came by it, she gave very un.aiisfectory answers, and she was given into custody. On bricg searched, the pocket-book, a ad. note, and some loose money were found upon her. The prosecutor went to the place he got the notes from and got the numbers, which he handed to the police, and the numbers on the two notes In question were the same.

When the prisoner was appvehenled, she had with her three gown beloogihie to the institution, and it was cosai &red by the managers a caw to be made an example of. Mr. Witham said it was a very serious we, end aenteneed the prisoner to ass year's hard labour. THE POLICE CO URTS. 41 MANSION-HOUSE, Mu'haat Dqvissm, the driver of a Peckham omnibus, was summoned for having ',rued to allow a gentleman ti take a save t place in his omnibus. Mr. S. Hood, iron merchant, skid—On the Vith of Sep tember I saw the defendant acting u conductor to his om nibus, and asked to be let to take a seat which I observed was vacant. The omnibus wee licensed to carry 12 inside, and there were no mere then 11 seated when I applied. The doiendant said his omnibus was full, but I distinctly counted oniy it passengers. Ile rudely puttied me away, and I after wards sew a gentleman enter. The defendant said, in answer to the charge, that he had Dean saving a place for a gentleman who had been constantly in the hab!t ot going and coming in the omnibus. 3lr. U. Pearce, jeweller, of I; -street, said that he ha! been for several years in the habit of riding in the omnibus alluded to, and it was his practice to pay the con ductor if he happened, by business or accident, to miss the time. Ile had not, on the present occasion, either paid him fare or booked his place. The Lord :Igor recommended the witness, if he was de sires's to secure his place, to pay the fare beforehand, as an omnibus was a public vehicle, and the defendant had no right to retain a place for him under such circumitancte as Das been represente d. A gentleman here interposed and said that both the driver and conductor were well behaved persons, and, no doubt, judging from the character of the defendant, he Lad acted from an error of judgment. The Loud Mayor—lle shall have the advantage of his good obaructer. it he had Lot bon so dowaitood L would THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1853. murdering his wife, and, after doing too, attempting to com mit suicide. Mr. Combs asked whether the wonsaa was able to attend ? _ _ . S..rgr4nt Garforth replied that the was not. She had received such serious itotries that hrr life was despaired of. Witness produced two medical certificates, one issued last night, and the other that morning, showing that her skull had been beaten in, and that it was doubtful whether she could recover from the effects of the wounds inflicted upon her. Mr. Combs asked whether there was any one in court who knew anything of the horrible affair ? Joel Harris ' a Waterman and lighterman, residing near the priaoner'shoase, said that about seven nr eight o'clock on the previous evening he was passing No. 23, Cottage place, when a lad about 14 years of age (the prisoner's son) came rushing out, and called east, " DJ some one cane and lend a hand, as my poor father is hanging himst If." Wit nem entered the house immediately, and on proceeding to a roam up•stairs be sew the prisoner with a handkerchief tied tightly round his neck, and one end attached to a rope which had been attached to a nail in the wall. 11, bad fallen down, and witness loosened the handkerchief. He was then horrorstruck. on looking round, in perceiving his wife lying on the floor at the other end of the room weltering in her blood. Ile instantly went and fetched a doctor, and meeting a police constable in his way he told him the circumstances. Mr. Cumbe asked him whether he know anything of the prisoner? Witness replied in the affirmative. When he was sober he lived very comfortable with his wife. He could not ac count (or his conduct on the present occasion. Mr. Combo—Was he actually hanging when you entered the room ? Witness—No, sir. A handkerchief was tightly fastened round his neck, and the end was attached toe rope stretched across the room. The rope was fixed to a nail in the wall, but it appeared to me that his weight pullsd the nail out. Mr. Combs—Wu there any mark of a nail in the wall ? Sergeant Oarforth—Yes, sir. The nail had been in the wood work over the spot where the prisoner was found. It was about six feet from the floor. The handkerchief was fixed to therm! of the line near the nail, and had the latter not come out he might base destroyed himself. Mr. Combe asked the prisoner whether the woman be bad beaten so dreadfully was his wife ? He replied that she was, and that they bail been mar ried many years. Mr. Combe—How came you to heather in such a dreatul manner ? Priscner—l don't know, only I'm subject to fits. Mr. Combo—No doubt tits of passion, and in one of Owe fits you have nearly murdered your wife. This is a most dia- bolical affair, and from the medical certificates produced before me it is doubtful whether the womaa may recover. I shall therefore remand you for a week. On the removal of the prisoner from the dock, Mr. Combo told Garforth that at the next examination he had better cause the attendance of the medical men, especially the one who bad been in the habit of attending the prisoner. He had better ascertain also bow he had inflicted the blsws on his wife. Gorforth said that he believed the prisoner bad used a largo stone pitcher, as at the corner of the room where his wile was seen lying, he found one broken, and covered with blood. COTTON.—Mafecutirrnu, SEPT. 20.—There has again been a very quiet market, and many parties report as much depression in yarns u last Tuesday. Offers were made more freely, but in many cases at rates preposterously low, end not likely to be accepted. On the average, perhaps, la. per lb. under the rates ruling a mouth ago was taken where sales were made. There were instances of fit. de ane being accepted, but these • ere far from numerous. Warps and pincops were much depressed, and ate quoted Id. under the rates given • fortnight ago. The advices by the Overland Mail,though unfavourable as regards China, offer some encouragement !rum India, and purchases of yera were made both from Calcutta and Bombay. In some ewe the advised limits of price in India were too low to admit of • remunerative business at the rates at which orders could be executed at Manchester; but these are exceptions, ar.d probably more business will be done in a day or two, should the depression now operating continue. Buyers for Germany report but a Mall extent of business, and that practically they do not find prices so much in their favour as might be expected from the general flatness. In the cloth market there has been rather more business than lust week, where sellers were disposed to give way in price, and some sales were made fur India. The state of the money market off -re considerable obstacles to basis's'', from the high rates charged for discounts. The branch of the Bank of England charges I, and in some eases I per cent. more than the national establishment in London, making 41 and 6 parr ant The other banka are charging 5 per cent. saws the counter fur long dated paper, and 4 i and 4i per cent. for short dates. Several of the leading banking houses in Manchester, however, have refused to discount at all over the counter, reserting the whole of their accommodation for customers whose bills it is usual to take, and charge with the average rate at the end of the six months. An experienced hanker, who has not adopted the latter restriction, speaking of the present crisis says, that whilst not apprehending by any means • renewal of the pressure felt in 1817, yet things have been a great deal worse here than people are generally aware of. A considerable quantity of long-dated hills was expected by this mail from India, for which there was much difficulty anticipated in getting discounts at a reasonable rate, but in some cases it turns out that the difficulty had been foreseen, and the remitters have sent paper more easily negotiable. LivenrooL, SIFT. 20.—Again has the market closed with • dull and heavy feeling, without change; in prices. The sales amounted to 4,000 bile including 3,500 Ame ricans (GOO for export), and 200 Egyptian, at 61d. tu bd. per lb. Import since Thursday, 10,000 bales. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEns, SEPT. 20.—There has been a fiat and quiet market to-day. The transactions have been few in number, and limited in extent. WOOL.—ErDDZIUIFILLD, SEPT. 20. For the better sorts of colonial wet Is the demand is not brisk. In Germans we have but little doing. The low and middle qualities I are moviag, and prices remain without alteration. MANUFACTURES.-11CDDIR3PIELD, SEPT 20.-Our Cloth-hall has been pretty • ell attended by merchants to day, and a fair average busint FS has been transacted ; but it is quite evident that most of the heaviest buyers attend ing this market ere much more cautious at puma than during the two preceding months, July and August. CORN.—Heee., SEPT. 20.—Thc.re has been some fine h t weather clueing the past week, though less sun than desirable for the later crepe, and during one or two nights there was sharp Boat. We regret not being able to report at all more favourably of the yield of wheat, indeed every day developes the deficiency to be even more general and serious than our worst anticipations ; the potato disease also reveals itself to a greater extent than expected, and we fear will prove very bad. Tho arrivals of the put week are quite insignificant, and hardly any wheat is left in the port oar shipboard ; a large busineu has however been done in granaried p►rcel., at daily advent log prices ; to consumers, speculator., and on export orders. The advance on the week cannot be written at less than it. per qr. on best, and 4e. to do. on the ucoudary descriptions, ai.d at there enhanced rates a great clearance has been effected. To-day's market was moderately attended by farmers, with a fair show of wheat. They were asking extravagant and random prices, being quite excited, not only by the smart advance of Mark-lane and other large markets, but from their own experience of the deficient yield. Millers and factors were cautious buyers, but still a good business re sulted at 31. to 4.. advance upon the prices of last Tuesday, 625. to 632., being the currency for best runs of old red. The new wheat was in moderate condition, and the sales made were at GOs. to 65a. As regards the yield, complaints were strong and general ; decidedly more so than last week. In foreign wheat a moderate business was done at fully the advance noted above, but the quantity offering was small. A good sale for Miley ; grinding sells at 298. to 325. for Mediterranean, and very little Danish on the market. Malting qualities are exceedingly scarce and much inquired for. Beans are again Is. to 2s. dearer; fair German fetch 455., and Egyptian, 40.., 631bs. There areno peas en the market, anti the crop bring in many parts almost a failure. We are anicipating an extended sale for Indian corn, in which article several transactions have taken place during the week at an advance of Is. per qr. ; the potato disease will also increase the consumption of this article. Oats were enquired after, and are 6d. dearer. Dari meet* an extended sale. There is again a good arrival of Linseed but the market is unaltered. Linseed cakes in fair demand at our quotations. No Rapeseed on sale, but cakes scarce and again dearer. Bones support our quotations. Imports during the week :—Wheat, 1,274 qrs.; barley, 714; oats, V.); peas, 29 ; linseed, 12,495; o I cake, 183 ton.. LEEDS, SEPTESIEER 20.—We are flirly supplkel w:th wheat; since Friday tho weather has ben very tine, and has had the usual effect with our buyers, and to.day the activity of lest week has disappeared, still holders are firm, and Friday's rates are fully maintained. Barley as before. Beans fetch full ',lieu , . o.ite and other articles witl:Gat alteration. Arrival' this week: Wheat, 8,48.) v.. ; oats, 140; beacs, 296; flour, 4; rapeseed, '6B;t linseed. 1,038. LlvEngoem, SEPT. 20.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the put week have been small. Front foreign ports, however, we have received 33,637 qauters wheat, 1,918 quarters barley, 1,860 quarter beans, 6,962 quarters Indian corn, 7,987 sacks and 27, 14 28 barrels flour ; and from Canada 9,254 quarters wheat, 1. 4 92 quarters peas, and 10,683 barrels flour. The ex p , :rts in the same time comprise 1,006 quarters wheat, 823 quatten oats, 820 quarters Indian corn, 1,016 saek. and 4,418 barrels flour. There has been much excitement in the trade during the past week, and prices of wheat and flour have been run up 4d. to 6/1. per 70145, and 2s. to 33. per barrel by an extensive demand on speculation and kr ex port to the continent. Indian corn afloat sad on the spot has also been eagerly bought, at an improvement ct 2s. per quarter. Oatmeal has been in frisk demand, and an ad. vance of Is. to 2.. per load established ; oats, barley, beans, and pore have all participated mare or less in the advance. The weather has been extremely fine and season/tide. At this day's market there was a large attendance of the town and country trade, and a very &sod consumptive demand was experienced for both wheat and flour, at an advance of 4d. to 61. per 701b5., and 2.. per sack and barrel. Oats im proved Id. to 2d. per 451b5., and oatmeal la. lid. to 2s. per ~ad, with a fair sale. Barley brought 2d. per &Sibs., and beans and peas Is. to Is. 61. per quarter more money. Indian corn met with a brisk inquiry, and Ranting cargoes and parcels on the spot were fully 2s. per quarter dearer.

Ja rea Joh* Da an eccentric individual, wearing his ltair a...d be ta a wait remarkable fashion, was charged with err.iing a disturbaum outside his fathees house on Mon,.. night. The iirisoner, who it is stated has occasionally repre sented tinsel, to tie Jesus Christ, was charged at this court a itew weeks hams when it was thought he was insane, but the prison surgeon's report entirely removed that im pression. George Turner Dow said the prisoner was his brother, and came to his lather's house on Sunday night, and again on Monday ingot, and demanded his wife, who was then living apart fri us her husband at his father's 12, St. An drew's hill, Doctor's Commons. The wife went out to pri soner and told him she would not live with him, but he continued to knock at the door and abuse his father, and created such a diMurbanee that a mob soon collected, and witness was obliged to give him into custody. Prisoner-1 went to demand my wife, and they had no right to keep her front me. I demanded her under the laws of God ..n I my marriage rights, and it in so doing a crowd collected, I could not help it. Alderman Cubitt—Judging from your extraordinary ap pearance, it does not require any great stretch of imagine uoa to believe that wherever you show yourself people will atop to gaze at you. If you will make your appearance so conspicaous you must take the consequence. Prisoner—lt is my religion and my belief for which I have always been permeated. Alderman Cubitt—lug have committed an offence and rendered yoaself amenable to the laws, and I cannot let you tears this court unless you promise not to go near or annoy your father again. Priee.ner—l'll not make any promise against the laws of God, for the Scripture says, " Ye shall make league with no m .n." Alderman Cubitt—l am not going into a theological dis cussion with you here, and as you are not inclined to make the promise I require of you, 1 shall have you bound over to keep the peace for three months, and further call upon sou to find one sure, in 201. to do so. I regret being obliged to sand you us prison, but if the surety be not forth coming 1 have no alternative. Prisoner—Of course, sir, you must do your duty. You arc sworn to do it against the laws of God. You can do as you like with me; I am en honest hard-working man, and am ready to be penitcuted by you or any one elsi.. The prisoner was ultimately removed in the vea to the prison at Holloway, were he will pass the next three months ' unless he puts in bail in the interim. 130W-STUEET. Shortly before the court closed, Alderman Marshall waited upon the presiding magistrate to draw his attention to a practice now prevailing among the dealers in Covent garden Market, which was fraught with danger to the public. lie alluded to their manner of over-loading their vans, by which the empty vegetable baskets were carried away after the day's sale. At the present moment there was • waggon near the Piazza with baskets piled one ShOTC the other in column, upwards o f 20 feet in height above the top of the van. These were tied loosely together 1 with cords, and he (Alderman Marshall) %ascertain theta very slight occurrence, calculated to disturb its equilibrium, would cause the whole mass to topple over into the street, and the consequences might be dreadful. He bad so con stantly seen these formidable loads traversing the thorough fares of the Metropolis, west of .Temple-bar, that he felt it his duty to call at the court and mention the circumstance, trusting that his worship would send one of the officers round to judge for himself of the peril attending the van in question. Mr. Henry said he was well aware of the practice r*r red to, and if it could be proved to endanger the lied of the public, some steps might be taken to prevent it. It did not linear that the dealers were limited to any particular height by the act, although they could not exceed a certain bulk. lie would send round ,one of the inspectors to see what could be done. The further invesii;etionlniotitecfrentnstanees attend ing the collisiou which occurred at llornsey some weeks ago was resumed yesterday before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at this office. The driver, l'ardingion, and the fireman, Woods, who had charge of the express engine, and who were given into custody by the company, surrendered to their bait. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the company, and Mr. Raw. line fur the defendants. Mr. Clarkson stated that it was his pleasing duty to in form the magistrate that Mrs. Harrison was cotitely out of danger, and that all the other parsons who had re ceived injury were progressing favourably, and wero now almost well. Mr. Rawlins then addressed the magistrate on the whole facts of the cue. He said he presumed the charge against the defendants was laid under the 3rd and 4th Vic., c. 97, sec. 13. He presumed that the object of the company was to have an investigation of the circum stfle( s connected with the accident to show on whom the blame should be fixed with respect to the serious circum stances of the collision. Ibe magistrate said the defendants were brought before him, not under the provision of 3 and 4 Vie., the provisions of which had been almost entirely repealed. The cue came bet.re him under the 6th and 6th Vic. c. 6.5, s. 17. Mr. 'towline said, under whichever of t he acts the case came before the magistrate, it was 'prosecuted by the sow pan, to screen themselves from the consequences of their own act : for throoglwout the whole investigation no expla nation had been given as to the delay in shunting the coal train at Hornmy, nor as to the cause of delay at Colney Hatch, where the coal train, which wee due at Homey at eleven, had bun delayed so long as to prevent it from arriving at Horns.; until five o'clock in the evening. From the evidence it was quits clear that the elation muter at Hornsey was inexperienced. He had only been station-master for a short time; be had not acted either .with prudence or promptitude on this occa ; and the company was responeible for his negligence, and also (or the inexperience of Woods, the fireman, who ought not to have been appointed a fireman to an caper u train. It was admitted en all bands that Pardington was a west skilful driver, and of great experience. Then there was the guard, whose duty it was to keep a good look out, instead of sorting his letters as the train was proceeding; and the arrangements of the company were in that respect also defective, and they were so also because they had not telegraphed down the line, inquiring if the line was clear, before the express train st arted. The magistrate mid it was souse toe:anew the evidence, or make strong remarks, because it was evident that the case could not ho decided by him, and mast go elsewhere. He did not wish to restrain him in any way, but he really thought it was unnecessary to go over the evidence. Mr. Rawlins—Then I presume you do not intend to deal with the Calk summarily ? The magistrate —Cer.ainly not. Mr. Rawlins complained that the managers of the com pany should not have been placed side by side with the two defendants. Mr. Clarkson said it was all very well to damage the com pany in the newspapers, but would Mr. Rawlins convince the magistrate that the men charged had paid due attention to the sigma'', as was their duty ? The magistrate said that it was no use making that Court the medium of circulating statements pro and ems, in the newspapers, and unless Mr. Rawlins went the length of saying that no blame whatever was attri tunable to the defendants, and that therefore they should be discharged at one.—unless that was intended there was no use in going on. Mr. Rawlins said that he had well considered the matter, and he thought it was his duty to go into the whole case ; but if the magistrate had made up his mind to commit the defendants, it was useless for him to go on. The magistrate Laid it was certainly a case which must be decided elsewhere, but he would take bail. Mr. Rawlins then, at considerable length, went into the circumstances attending the accident, attributing the blame mainly to the station master. Some experiment had been mad, by order of the government, and it was singular that evidence of it had net been given. Mr. Clarkson—You may b..re it at once. After some further conversation the two defendants were committed fur trill, but bail was allowed. MARLBOROUGII-STREET._ Charles Reynoldsl;efWe Mr. Bingham charged with having obtained money by fraudulent pre tences under the following novel cireumstani es : S. feta female servants were in court who had been victimtsed by tl.e prisoner. Ann Stapleton, housemaid, 7d, Grosvenor-street, said the prisoner called at the house a few days ago and stated he had been informed that a footman was wanted. She told him this was not the fact, and the prisoner went away. A day or two afterwards ho called again, and after dct .ding his alleged destitute condition, asked her is lend him six pence. She did as, and on the following Friday the pri soner again called to thank her fir the loan, and to borrow • shilling. Sim did not comply with this second application, but sent for a policeman and gave the prisoner into tested,.

ILLEGAL NETTING IN THE THAMES. STAINES BENCH, Sept. 19.—Thomas Purdue and Frederick Purdue, both of Shepperton, fishermen, were brought before the bench, on the information of Thomas Milhourn, fur using a net ter the purpose of poking in the Lower Preserve at Shepperton. It appeared by the statement of the honourable secretary of the Thames ' Angling Preservation Society, who appeared in sup port of the information, and was fully proved by the evidence that the two I'urdues and their father, known on the Thames as " Old Harry Purdue," share in a very large degree the patronage of gentlemen fond of angling in the Thames, and also supporten of the above saciety. The two defendants have for some time past been known to the waterbailiffs to fill up their days when unemployed by gentlemen by poking about the preserves in their im mediate locality, and were watched accordingly, when on the 7th instant, about four in the afternoon, Waterbdiliff Roscwell, who had been lying in ambush, caught them in the fact, and in attempting to gain the net jumped into the water, but failed in obtatnirg it. The bench (after express ing their indignation that mm in regular employment, by trade fishermen, and patronised as they have been, should act in such a manner, and hoping that gentlemen would put a stop to such ingratitude, as they had the power to do, by only employing fishermen who did not break the laws made fur their own benefit) fined them 50s. and costs.
