A Mr. White had haul considerable dealings with the bankrupt, for wham he head wee-pt.-el accommodation bills, having signed the acceptances is blank.

Themse of cheque and counter-cheque with Mr. Golden was very little short of robbery. Many an uneducated boy had been scat to the other side of the globe for less criminal acts. Mr. llollams NAill the case of Mr. Nash, of Tooley-street, was one of the m st serious autaiwa the bankrupt. In April, 1319, the bankrupt went to Mr. Nash, represented that he had agreed to purchase *ante property ut Maidstone. and wanted MO/. to complete the purchase. Mr. Nash lent the .500/. The- statement turned out to be utterly untrue. Af terwards he prevailed on Mr. Nash to take a bill of Mr. Mendell'. fur 493/. in payment, and gave a cheque for the difference. That bill was a forgery. When it was due the hankrupt got Mr. Nash to take one of Mr. Skirving's in stead; which was also a forgery. That bill was for 41W. On its maturity, the bankrupt desired it to be held over, on the representation that Mr. Starving was not able to pay it, and had wit him some tares instead. Mr. Nash held the bill over a month, and the bankrupt then got it exchanged for two other bills, on Mr. Maude, of Bristol, and Mr. Potter, of Newport, one for . 231/., the utha-n for 29.51. Both these were forgeries; they were due in January last. While they were running, wine , December, in -cember, the bankrupt went to Mr. Nash, and I got a further loan of 250/., without any security. In January, Potter's eyed Maule's hills having been noted for protest, he offered a bill on his brother-in-law, Mr. Bad man, for 497/., payable at Messrs. Lubbock and Co.'s. When this hill was due Mr. Nash was induced to give time ; and it was only at the bankruptcy that this and the other bills were discovered to be forgeries. Mr. Nash hail been thus defrauded out of 7501. ' by a series of forgeries and fraudulent representations, for not a single fact stated by the bankrupt had been true. The Commissioner-I don't wonder at the bankrupt not being here. The wonder is be hes nut been proceeded against elsewhere. Mr. Ilullams said that Mr. Noah had not any of the bills except that on Mr. Badman; and he had been led by the bankrupt to believe that letters had pawed between Mr. Heilman and him which authorised him in giving that bill. Mr. Skireing, seed merchant, of Liverpool, deposed that, on the faith of a reprrisentation contained in a letter from the bankrupt of the 7th of Jane, 1849, be had advanced him 8001., partly on his own acceptance, and partly on a bill of Mr. Gregory's. This was exchanged when due for an acceptance purporting to be Mr. Renaalles, which was also wi th drawn before it Wall due. and substituted by an ac ceptance of the bankrupt's. This was dishonoured when due. Ile saw the bankrupt in London in June last. Be I then wanted a further advance of 1,000 i., and produced a statement of account showing that his debts were about 2,700/. ' and that between ~000/. and 8.000/. was due to him. Upon the faith of that representation witness ad vanced him 5001. Ile said he should be stopped next day if he had not the money. Mr. Oaden, merchant, of Mark-lane, deposed that on Saturday, the 29th of June late the bankrupt called on him awl asked fur the loan of 3501. till Monday allegi n g that he had been disappointed in a remittance ' fronahis traveller that morning.

HOME CIRCI;ii.—LEwm, Kutcn 13. C.., —llll.lKitt 'Me Leto (amp Jane,. At the conclusion of the trial of the rckfield burglars last night, Edward Isaacs, 29, another of the same gang, wit indicted Mr a burglary at Ilayward's Ileatlt. There was alto a charge against him and Breaks, of having felo• niously assaulted a police-constable, with intent to prevent the apprehension of the latter prisoner. Mr. Johnson pro secuted. The approver, Ifamilton, was again examined as a wit ness, and the charge of burglary was clearly established by his evidence and by independent corroborative testimony. 'f he jury found the prisoner Guilty, and a previous con viction for felony being proved against him, he ISM sen tenced to be transportedfor life. BUSIAiLAI!IT. James Gulrer, alms Bdlf, Efizesooth Hawes, James Es wards, 50, and Mary Edwards, 50, his wife, were this taunting placed at the bar, the first mentioned prisoner being charged with a burglary in the dwelling-house of Thomas Baker at Rothertichl • and the others with re ceiving the properly stolen, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Johnson again appeared for the prosecution. The evidence of feloniously receiving the property was clearly established, and it appeared that the prisoner Howes war the sister of Brooks, who was convicted on Wednesday of the Crktield burglary, and that this prisoner was the nephew of the Edwardses, and the exigence of a most vx tensive system of plunder appeared to be established. It would seem that most of the men were occupied as hawkers travelling about the country, and they were occu pied. under the cover of this apparently holing ot•eupatiou, obtaining information of the &west that were the least protected, and the most likely to afford plunder; and when the robberies were committed, places of concealment for the stolen property were provided by other members of the gang. Thu jury found James Edwards, Bowes, and Oulver Guilty of receiving, and Acyailled Mary Edwards, upon the gruuud. that she had acted under the intim:me of her husband. Thu learned Judge sentenced Oulver anti Howes to be transported fur 14 years, and James Edwards was ordered to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour fur two years. Mr. Johnson said that there were several other charges of burglary contained in separate indictments, but as thei whole of the prisoners were now convicted he did not think it advisable to occupy the time of the public by proceeding with them. The Lord Chief Justice sanctioned the course suggested, and he at the same time observed that he thought it right to state that the learned counsel for the prosecution had conducted the cases with great clearness, firmness, and in telligence, and that himself and the country were much indebted to him for the ability he had displayed. His lord ship then said that he hoped the example that had been made at these assizes of the parties guilty of such outrages would deter others from following the smile courses, as they must be aware that it was clear they could not escape severe punishment if they persevered. The whole county had beet kept in a state of alarm by these occurrences, and by did nut wonder that people had actually been afraid to go to their beds. The police appeared to lave acted with very great zeal and intelligence, and he thought it right to order them a reward fur their activity and goad behaviour. (The amount was not stated.) One or two other eases were subsequently disposed of, and Lis closed the business of the Sussex assizes. OXFOltll ClllCUlT.—SrAyroito,tont 13. Hwaa Ma. Parma TALINNIZA POIDONINO CAO Z.

FALLIDILITT OF CIIICVNISTINTTAL EVIDENCE. In the case of burglary at Liddiard Millicent, where such gallant resistance was offered by the female occupant of the premises, another prisoner from the same neighbourhood, convicted at these assizes of haling stolen on ass, &c., has confessed that he was the party who committed the offence, and has afforded such corroborative proofs of his as that his lordship has, we hear, considered the alibi adduced at the prisoner s trial as perfectly established, and has not, therefore, passed any sentence upon him. The criminal business terminated this evening, a number of prisoners baring been tried before Mr. Greenwood, Q.C., in a third court. Mr. Baron Martin was occupied till a late hour on the nisi pries side, with the trial of a case relative to a disputed right of way, which has oicupied two days, but has no fea ture of interest out of the locality.

LORD BROUGHAM'S PISCATORRL ADVENTURES. , These adventures of the learned lord will be fresh in the remembrance of the country. The Egmont and Eden Angling Association, who were bold enough to dispute the right of his lordship, or his lordship's men, to tilt with a net in the river Eamont, which a certain act of parliament declared to be illegal, have, since his lordship's nom were tined by the magistrates, been subject to many annoyances. For instance, several farmers of land have funned them tones into an association fur the purpose of preventing uuy member of the Angling Association from setting foot on their property for the purpose• of killing lid . ' ; further than that, they have instituted a prosecution for the purpose of depriving the anglers of the privilege of fishing in any river or rivulet whatsoevercommunicating with the Solway unless lie have the have or authorityof the owner orowners of fisheries or liveries in the said axon of the sea or the rivers communicating therewith. At the l'cnrith petty 114i:4011S ins Tuesday last William lioutledge, a member of the Samoa and Eden Angling Association, was charged by William Bind with having, on the '6th of February last, taken fish in the river Peterel contrary to the 44th Geo. 3, e.fsi,see.e,which section provides, that " from and zifter the passing of this act, if any person or permons, not being the owner, occupier, or farmer of a fishery, or the agent, servant, or fishenuen of some owner, weepier, or fanner of a fidiery, or other person b them, some ur one of them thereunto lawfully authorised, shall, at any time in the year, take, kill, or destroy any salmon, or other fish whatsoever, in any river, &c., which communicates with the said arm of the sea (Solway Frith), every such person or parsons for the first offence, pay the suns of five 'mends," &e.— Mr. Jameson appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Ed ward Bleagmire for the defendant.—Witnesses were called, who proved that the defendant was fishing for common trout in the river Petered, on the 14th of February, and that he caught at least one fish. On behalf of the defend ant, it was, contended that the act was intended to protect salmon, and did not apply to persons killing trout. The contrary was maintained on the other side, and after considerable discussion it was agreed that Mr. Jame son and Mr. Bleagmire should conjointly draw up and sub mit questions relative to the knotty points in the Solway Act to the most eminent counsel. The ease was then ad journed. The hearing of the case lasted several hours. The greatest possible anxiety prevails, because if the anti-anglers, or Lord Brougham's party, as they are generally called, prevail, there will be of course an end to all angling in the rivers communicating with the Solway, at least till a new set of parliament can be procured. A SERIOUS EXPLOSION OF GAS OCCURRED ON SATURDAY, at the manufactory of Mr. Samuel Whitfield, brassfounder, Oxford-street, Birmingham. About half-past eight o'clock Mr. Whitfield's son entend the front ware house for the purpose of extinguishing the gas, and turned the handle of an iron rod communicating with the meter in the cellar. Ile had scarcely done so when an explosion took place, and the entire front of the house was blown out, shattering the walls on both sides, and causing the ceilings of two stories to fall in, leaving the house a wreck. The upper rooms were filled principally with brass goods, most of which were destroyed or greatly damaged. Mr. Whitfield, jun., providentially escaped being railed, hut his face and hands were much burnt. The exact cause of the explosion is not yet ascertained ; but it is supposed it arose from an accumulation of gas in the packing-room between the time the gas was turned on in the evening and when Mr. Whitfield, jun., entered with a light to turn off the main. Two men who passed the premises a few seconds before the explosion narrowly escaped injury from the fall ing of the brick work.—Birmingham Gazette. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW TAX.—YOSICHIRy a public vestry of the inhabitants of the extensive parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, was held in 'the vestry-room, ad joining the church, Mr. W Freeman, the senior church: warden, in the chair, to consider what steps should be adopted with reference to the window tax. Resolutions condemning any longer continuance of the tax, or the sub stitution of a house tax in lieu thereof, and demanding its total, immediate, and unconditional repeal, were carried unanimously.—Last evening a very numerous meeting of the ratepayers of Lambeth was held in the vestry-hall, S. H. Taylor, Esq., in the chair, at which a petition to the Rouse of Commons for the unconditional repeal of the window tax was unanimously adopted, to be presented and supported by the member for the borough. - (.7AETERE OF A MONSTER SEAL AT ABERDEEN. Several of the fisheries along the coast have of late been much annoyed by the ravages of voracious seals, that appear to make a practice of regularly , inspecting the nets and de vouring their contents. With the view of putting a stop to the ravages of these intruders, Messrs. Gray, liutchcson, I and Co. hail a net constructed for the capture of seals at their fishery at Woodston, and the result has been that they have caught a seal of the following enormous propor tions : length, 8 feet ; girth, 5} feet ; weight, 36 stone. — Aberdeen Iltrakt NYMBEB OF PERSONB EMPLOYED ON RAIL WAYS.—Yesterday a return to parliament, obtained by Mr. Labouchere, was printed, showing the number of persons i and their description on railways in the United King dom. The total number on the 29th June last was 149,784, of which 114,013 were employed in England and Wales, 27,277 in Scotland, and 18,494 in Ireland. The j length of lines open in the United Kingdom on the 29th June was 5,117 miles and lot chains, of which 4,273 and 2181 chains were in England and Wales, 763 and lot chains in tland, and 410 and 49 chains in Ireland. There are 1,401 miles in the course of construction iu the United Kingdom. The length of line neither open nor in the Icourse of construction, 5,132 miles and 58f chains. The total length of line authorised was 12,083 miles and 70 chains. The diminution in the length of railway authorised in 18i0, as compared with 1849, arises chiefly from powers formerly granted for the construction of lines having been repealed or having lapsed by effittxtion of time. There were 97,081 labourers employed on the railways in the United Kingdom. DAILY WEATHER TABLE._ FRIDAY, MaaCN 14. 18.51. Weather at each of the following phase M yesterday atoning.
