Of incidental work I need say little more than to remark that in weeding, collect ing couch, collecting turnips and potatoes, making hay, turn ing barley and other crops at harvest, picking stones from the land, &c. &c., the boys are peculiarly adapted, as these operations do not require strength, but care, and from their size the boys get so much closer to their work. But these are few of the great ad vantages to be derived. Whilst my boys are learning to be good and skilful labourers, and to get their living, they are rescued from what are lea to., frequently dens of immorality and vice, and aro rning duty towards God and their duty towards their neiiihhour. They are learning habits of c leanliness, and com- a systematic mode of livin g , and may be, I trust, the mencement of a Letter race of men.

I must not omit to mention that in keeping these boys I em consuming my own manufactures (wheat, pigs, sheep, &c.), by w hi c h means I have the bran beck on the farm; I have the butcher's profit on the sheep and Pigs; I get the manure (night soil) on the land, and I keepsend my capital nbroad in my own country (my farm), instead of ing (i. e. the labour market). I believe I have given you every particular requisite, and I think the calculation very near. The only items I bane omi tted are milk (skimmed), which wo uld otherwise go to the pigs, and garden stuff, which they have when in abundance. The calculation is from Sunday morning to Saturday night, and the boys have lived in the usual manner. T he ex p ense may vary, but I believe this is about the average. I have said nothing of the accom modation and expense of fitting up, but it fi not great.

The plaintiff had known witness for 14 or 1.5 yean. —Cross-examined: He called himself an agent for getting loans and mortgagee for gentlemen, and he bad carried cn that business for ten or twelve years. Very soon after the bill had been discounted he saw au advertisement stating that it had been obtained by fraud from Sir W. Wonky, end on his meeting Anderson in Oxford-street he mentioned the subject, and Anderson told him that he heckd banded over the proceeds of the bill, and that wee all new about it. Witness wanted him to go to Sir W. Woreley's at torney, but he made some evasive answer. lie had previously shown him bills of several other per kiest, and among them one bearing the name of a general in the army, and he called upon that gen tleman and told him be was afraid his bill had got into bad hands. lie bad had several discounting transactions with the plaintiff before, but only on one other occasion was plate given as part of the consideration. That was the case of a 501. bill ;and the gentleman took a silver teapot at 101. or 121. in part payment. It was ••two months' bill, and a shil ling in the pound was deducted for interest. Anderson gavel his address at Denten-street, Chelsea. Witness made no, inquiry to ascertai n if it was correct, but he believed` Mr. Angell did, and that he ascertained no such pie. son was known at that address. A number of letters, all signed " Vim Straubenzee and C 0.," were hero shown to the witness, and he said be had no doubt that they were in the handwriting of Anderson. A bill of exchange for 3001. was also shown - him, and he said he had no doubt that this bad also been drawn by Anderson. lie then went on to say that after he obtained the money from the plaintiff for the bill he went to a coffee.thop in Coventry-street, where Andenon was w aiting for him by appointmeut, and he there handed him over the money and the tureen, and Anderson gave him 151. for his commission. Be'ore the plaintiff discounted the bill he asked who Anderson, the drawer, was ; and he told him he was a man like himself, employed to raise money, and he showed him • letter which Anderson gave him, authorising him to get the bill discounted.—ltmexamiced lie had no idea but that the whole was a fair nonsaction, and if he had been aware that the bid had been obtained through any advertisement he would not have had anything to do with it. The letter he showed to the plaintiff was written by Sir W. Woreley• Mr. Joseph Angell, the son of the plaintiff, was then ex. amined, and he gave an account of the discounting of the bill similar to the last witness. It was arranged, he said, that a silver tureen should be taken as put of the considera tion. It weighed 138 oz., and was sold at the rate of 10s. 6d. per oz., and a shilling in the pound was deducted from the money actually advanced as interest. The tureen in gums :ion was manufactured by them in 1828 for another silver smith, and was taken back in 1839, when they allowed nearly the whole amount they had originally charged for it in other goods. It was charged to Anderson at 72/. 125., and they had allowed 691 16s. fora. Witness sew aletter from Sir W. Vlors ley authorising Anderson to get the bill discounted, and when he applied to Glyn's, who were their own bankers, for infor mation, he was told that the signature of Sir W. Worley was genuine, and that the bill would be paid when it arrived at maturity.—Cross-examined . He knew nothing either I about Anderson or Van Straubenzee, and made no inquiry about the former ur.til the advertisement appeared st.tion that the bill hail been fraudulently obtained from Sir W• Worsley. The letter that was shown by Lloyd authorised some one to get the bill discounted, but he could not MT that it was an authority to Anderson. They kept 40 or 50 men in their establishment. They were not in the habit of discounting. Did nut call this transaction discounting, but merely selling plate in the way of trade and taking a bill in payment, giving value in full for the amount. He then, in answer to further questions, paid he would swear that the letter did not authorise Van Straubeszee and Co. to get the bill discounted, but he afterwards retracted this answer, and said he would not swear it; and he likewise said he would not swear that the letter did not commence with the word "gentlemen," as though addressed to a firm. Sir William's address was upon the bill. Evidence was then adduced to almw that only a fair price bad been charged for the tureen in question ; and it appeared that it had originally been charged about 10s. Oil. an mince in 1828, and was taken back by the plaintiff at the rate of 10a. Id. in 1839 ; and had been in his possession ever since until this trannetion. It was represented as being if antique shape, and rather a fancy article; but it appeared that during the long period referred to no customer could be bound for it. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Chambers then addressed the jury for the defendant. lie said they had already derived some ente - tainment from this very curioue case, sod they would receive more before it concluded ; and h • had no doubt that by the decision they would give they would teach • wholesome lesson to trades men in a lsrge way of Mennen, as to the mode in which they should carry on that business. It was said that the plaintiffs carried on a large and extensive trade ; this might be the case, but it only rendered the proceeding they bad adopted the more dangerous, and he felt it his duty in this esee to soone r • system which encouraged a set o f swindlers and sharpen., for it was perfectly clear that if they did nut receive this sort of aseistauce in some respectable quarter, they would very soon cease to exist ; and the present case was ther e fo re one of very great s a d the to the public. The answer of the defendant to the pro secution was this—he said that the plaintitb when he took the bill, was wilfully blind to the suspicions circumstances connected with it, that he did not make proper nquiries before he discounted it, that he was grossly incaut i ous, and thus enabled parties to swindle him out of has bill ter 3001., fur it was quite palpable that if they had taken the least pains to inquire, either of the acceptor himself, or of the other parties, they must have teemed the real na ure of the transac tion immediately, and would not have lent themselves to it, soil thus the object of the swindlers would have be n.,- feated. His case was this: • gang of swindle by moat crafty and cunning means, had obtained the bill in question Irons Sr William Worsley, and the course then was by differeat means to pass the instruments into the hands of some incautious person holding a position of resp:ctability, who said he held it bon.& tide and without reference to the original transaction, and thereupon sued for the amount, and he must express an op.nion that any person who did this lent himself te the proceedings of the swindlers by bis incaution, and if any per son deserved to have his fingers burned for so doing it was a person in the position of the plaintiff, carrying on an eaten save and reepectable business, and who ought to have exer cised more caution. Toe learned counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances under which the bill was obtained from the defendant, end which appeared to exhibit m ore than even the usual amount of craft and cunning genelly made use of in these cues. At the beginning of the present year it Appeared that Sir W ahem having been making some extensive alterations upon his estate in Yorkshire, was in consequence in some temporary embarrassment for want of funds, when he saw an advertisement in the Morning Post, addressed to clergymen, officers on full pay, members of parliament, and heirs to entailed estates, and representing that a private gen tleman was ready to lend any sum of money, from 501. to 20,0001., upon personal security. Ladies of rank could also be accommodated with loans upon the deposit of their dia monds ; and the advertisement concluded by stating that the character and position of the advertiser would be quite suffi cient guarantees for his honour and integrity, Upon see ing this advertisement, Sir William was imprudent enough to communicate to the address indicated in it. which was Northodreet, Lambeth, and he shortly after• wards received an answer, addressed from 37, George meet, Euston.square„ and signed " Van Straubenzee and Co." offering to lend him 3001., if he would send his " draft" for the amount. Sir William took no notice of this proposition, when Van Straubenzee and Co. renewed the negptiation, but Sir William would out listen to their propositions at that time, unless upon the condition that a friend of his should hand over his acceptance and receive the money at the same time. To this an answer was sent stating that this course would be "so very irregular," and amounted almost to an impeachment of their honour, that Van Straubeezee and Co. could not entertain it, and some further negotiation took place, and a proposition was made eventually that a bill of Van Struhenzee and Co. on the Bank of England at 21 days' date should be sent to Sir William, and which he was told he could immediately . get cash for at any bankers, and ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. that in return he should give his aeceptiince at three months. Sir William incautiously acceded to this arrangement, and a HOME CIRCUIT. —HERTFORD, JULY, 15. bill drawn by An upon Van Strubenzce & Co., and The business on the civil tint not commence until this accepted by them, was sent down to Sir William, and he in morning, before the Lord Chief Baron.

The bill in question was brought to bim by a men, " which no doubt it was, as all the communications that person named John Anderson, whom he had known about a took place were between Sir William and the supposed firm month before.

His lordship, after a minute summing up, which took him about 40 minutes, left the cue with the jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty —His lordshi p said the offence was a serious one, and till within the last two years death would have been the punishment ; and concluded by sen tencing the prisoner to transportation for life. ment to be inserted detailing the circumstances under which the bill in question was obtained, and he subsequently had an interview with the plaintiff, and he asked him what be intended to do about the bill. The plaintiff replied that he must put the same question to him, upon which witness said that as he was aware the bill had been fraudulently ob tained he considered he ought to fall back on the drawer of it, and endeavour to recover from him. The plaintiff then said he should do nothing of the kind ; he never inquired in any case about the drawer of a bill, and it was quite enough for him that the acceptor was a responsible person. He added that in this cue he had used what be considered every precaution necessary. lie had inquired at the bank where the bill was made payable, and he was told that the acceptance was genuine, and that the bill would no doubt be paid when it arrived at - turity. The plaintiff upon the same occasion said that when Sir William had paid the bill he would ren der him all the assistance he could. A entleman named Slack, who accompanied witness, remarked that it was very unfortunate that a respectable house should afford assistance o a set of swindlers, and the plaintiff was very indignant at he observation, upon which Mr. Slack added, that what ever might have been their intention what they had done had certainly bad the effect he mentioned. Serjeant Bowling then teolied, cintending that there was no ground for accusing the plaintiff of want of caution. lie had dealt with Lloyd, whom he had known for a great many years, and believed to be a respectable man, and whose occu pation he was aware was to act as agent in such transactions, and having satisfied himself that the acceptance was genuine, and there being nothing, as he subinitted, to excite any sus picion, he was justified in taking the bill, and was entitled to recover. The Chief Baron summed up the case, and the jury, after short deliberation, returned a verdict for the OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Ammotiow, JULY 15. Before Baron Rolre. TUB COLLtStON AND Loots oP Live ON Tun GREAT WEsysntr RAILWAY.—J. Weybury, aged 33, was indicted tor the manslaughter of Edwin Wiltshire, valet to General Sir Alexander Mackenzie, by his having feloniously caused the recent fearful collision on the Great Western Railway t a the Shrivenham station. Eight passengers Railway t ; amongst them were Captain F. C. flair, R.N. ; Rev. Mr. Phillips, and Rev. Mr. Sandys. A verdict of manslaughter was returned against Weybury and William Willoughby, railway labourers, by the coroner's jury. On the case, how ever, being submitted to the grand jury. they found no bill as related to Willourhy, therefore Weybury was tried alone. It was afterwards stated that another bill bad been preferred against Willoughby before the grand jury, and that it had been found.—Mr. Carrington and Mr. Skinner appeared for the prosecution, at the instance of the Great Western Railway Company; and Mr. Williams, instructed by Mr. Charles Nash, conducted the defence. Stephen Carter, a labourer employed in keeping tip the road of the Great Western Railway, said : On Wednesday, the 10th of May, about twenty minutes past three in the afternoon, be saw a horse-box and cattle-truck partly on the main line and the siding leading from the goods shed at the Sarivenham station. He did not observe any person stand ing near them. A few moments afterwards he heard a whistling rioter, and he noticed the express train coming up. It was then about 200 yards front the horse boa. lie then noticed Weybury come from behind another truck on the siding, and hold up his hands on the main line to the coming train. The train could not be stopped, and it came in colli sion with the box and truck, and shattered them to pieces. The train proceeded further on about a quarter of a mile ere it could be stopped. He saw several persons on the line near the station; some were alive, others dead.—Cross•examined : Weybury was engaged with Willoughby in unloading an o.her cruet on the siding at the time of the accident. lte. lieved that the siding had since been enlarged. Had also heard that a collision of a similar kind had occurred at the aiding. Thomas Huggins deposed that h et r a van to the Shrivenhans station every day. On the 10th of May, at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock, be saw the prisoner Weybury, : with Willoughby, push the horse-hex and cattle-truck along the siding to the main line, so as to get another truck along the siding to a different place under a crane. While doin the g so. they heard the train coming up ; Weybury ran on to main line and held up his handsneat moment or so the collision happened. The korseebox and cattle-truck were thrown up, and he noticed three dead bodies lying on the line.—Croas-ezamined When the truck was got under the crane they intended to bring the horse-box and cattle truck back. They frequently moved trucks from the siding on to the main line. such was absolutely necessary, to get them out. Baron Rolfe: Certainly; but they must only be moved at aafe times. Mr. Corbett Hudson, the station clerk at the Shrivenham station, deposed that it was the duty of porters to arrange the trucks. It anything was placed on the main line, tne policeman ought to be comix.nnicated with to put on the signal. At mutt. en minutes past three, he saw the signal was right, and the doe clear. He then went into too station, and was there when the collision happened, transacting bun. nee'. Weybury went to dinner at two, and returned at three. He had be eu a porter eight years, and was perfectly aware of the working of the signal.—lly the court: It was the prisoner's bounden duty not to put anything on to ob struct the line while the signal " all clear" was up.— Croseelsinined At the station one policeman and three porters were employed; he considered that sufficient. stati Sixonty or seventy trains, and four expresses , passed the in the course of the day. The policeman at the signal could have seen very well what was run from the siding on the main line. (It may be stated that this officer, Pargeter, will be tried for manslaughter at Desires, in a case where the death took place in Wiltshire.) It was his duty to leave put on the dangerous signal when he saw an obstruction on the line. It was about eighty yards trona the station. Lately a pilot engine had run into a truck at the same pace, and the parties causing it had been punitheil. Robert Raskill, the driver of the engine to the express train, deposed that on its leaving Swin don it was twenty- I one minutes behind its time. Nearing Sitrivenham he saw the signal denoted '6411 c:ear." If it had indicated danger he could have stopped before any accident could have happened. When about fifty panda distant he noticed the horse-box and cattle-truck on the main line, and he did all he could to lessen the force of the col lision. He was then going about sixty miles an hour. After the collision the train was a crueller of a mile ere it was stop ped. lie could see the signal between two and three miles off. If the train had been more moderate the consequences would have been more serious. There was not the least chance of avoiding it when he saw the obetruction.—Croas examined ; When within a quarter of a mile of the station he saw the policeman was arranging the signal, "all clear." From that point he could not have stopped the train, but he ' could have made it better (not so disastrous). In the course of a quarter of an hour a train would have allowed the ex. press.—By the Court : lie bad stopped an express train in a quarter of a mile, but he did not think it could be done when ver desired. Dr. G. Mantle, snrgeon, proved the cause of death Mr deceased wee extensive fracture of the skull, and Mr. Richard Wiltahire, brother to the deceased, identified the body Mr. Williams addressed the jury in behalf of the accused, and several gentlemen, sot connected with the company, gave the prisoner an excellent character fur attention and sobriety. His lordship then summed up, and said that where a per son, like the prisoner, filled a public situation, and, to an extent, had the security of her Majesty's subjects mitt usted to the faithful performance o f his duty, it was only fair to expect from him a greater amount of caution than probably would be expected from parties filling a less responsible office. The facts were clear that the prisoner had ranged the horse box and cattle truck on the main line. It had been said that more onerous duties were cast upon him than he was able to perform. He (the learned judge) did not know to the con trary : be it so; but he thoug ht it did nut app.) tu the case, for the question was, did the prisoner exhibit a certain amour tot neglect? If they believed Hudson, the station clerk, there could be no doubt that a charge of neglect had been proved against the prisoner. It had been suggested :hat the policeman was to blame, but the guilt of one did not prove the innocence of the other, mid pos sibly he might be more guilty than the other; but that was not the question. It had also been said that the prisoner might have considered the express train to have passed, and he (the learned judge) thought that was the impression he entertained. But no person could place a truck or box on the line when a signal was put up that the line was clear, and that was the prisoner's offence. There was no doubt that he might have seen, by leaking up st the signal, that an obstruction could not be placed on the line with any degree of safety, and if he did not adopt those precautions, the prisoner was guilty of manslaughter. The jury consulted for about ten minutes, and returned a veruict of Not Guilty. The prisoners Weybury and Willoughby were then ar raigned on another indictment, charging them with man slaughter, before Mr. Boron Platt, Baron Rolfe hieing en gaged in hearing a special jury cause.—Previously the learned Judge inquired of Mr. Carrington whether the corn. parry were prepared to try the prisoners on the other indict ment 1 It certainly appeared to him, after the patient in vestigation the case bed undergone before his learned brother, that it ought not to be retried.—Mr. Carrington bowed to the decision of his lordship • but it was only the summing up of Mr. Baron Rolfe that had induced mm to continue the prosecution.—Baron Platt said be thought the justice of the country did not require these men to be subject to a second inquiry. He would also add that was the opinion of his learned brother (Baron Rolfe).—The prisoners were then acquitted on the several indictments, and discharged from castody. OXFORD, JOLT 15. About five o'clock in the afternoon the judges arrived in Oxford from Abington, and proceeded to the County hall, where the commission was opened. On returning to their lodgings at the Star Hotel they were waited on by the vice chancellor of the university, and the mayor, sheriffs, and aldermen, to pay their usual mark of respect and present their lordships in the name of the city with gold.tringed gloves. This morning their lordships attended divine ser vice at the university church, when an appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. W. Sewell, 8.D., of Exeter College. The criminal cases for trial are few in nureer, and among them are one of murder, one of manslaughter, lad one of anon.

The prisoner was undefended. The evidence against him was cir cumstantial. It appeared he was poor and without a habi tation, and coniequently Mr. Joseph Simmons, of Pitetone, fermi, and who resided about _thus furlongs from Dun pally her home she would introduce him to her husband, with whom they could have some drink. He went with her, and as soon as they entered the, house she ran out, and in a few minutes returned with the male prisoner, who came up to him, and in the most in.olent manner demanded what bullet's he had in his house, and before h could return most vio an answer he was knocke d down b y him, end kied lently in the face. The other female then came out of an adjoining room, and assisted in lil-treating him, and while on the ground the prisoner Courtney took fourteen shillings from his pocket and ran away. The other prisoner brutally kicked him, and eetlainted, "let's murder him:" at tit: same time he was thrown with great violence into the middle of the street. His cries brought some persons two o the certain spot, vele n he was tak en to the hospital. He that the prisoner was the person who attacked and robbed him. Police constable 44 M raid that on the night in question he was informed that a murder had been com mitted in Ewer street, and he found the complainant lying in the middle of the street in • pool of blood. had him conveyed to the hospital, after which be traced the blood to the house occupied by White, and on entering he found blood scattered &Wont the floor: but he could not find any body there, er gain any information respectinz the parties who had committed the outrage until the complainant recovered. In answer to the charge, the male prisoner said that he knew I nothing whatever of Courtney but the other female was his wife. On the night of the Ist of July he returned home a little after twelve o'clock, and on opening the door was much surprised at tieing the prosecutor sitting on his bed. He demanded his business there, and requested him to leave and on his refusing to do so he took hold of him and carried him into the street—Courtnay denied the robbery, but said nothing ab , ut taking the complainant to White's house.— ' Mr. Seeker said he had no doubt they would have mur dered the man had they not so easily succeeded in robbing him of his money. It was quite char they were all impli cated in the affair. He should commit them all for trial. THAMES. ROBBING Homes or Tuna FOOD. J. If ainright and J. Green were charged with stealing a basket of provender supplied to the former prisoner for the feeding of his msoter'a horses. On the previous morning Smith, a police.eonstable, No. 220 K, saw a waggon drawn by three hones, belonging to Mr. Ingram, farmer of Bark ing, Essex, draw up opposite a public-house in the Mile End-road. The team was in ch:.ige of Wainwright, who took a sack containing something bulky from the waggon, and, alter placing it on the stones near the horses, emptied the contents into a trough, and carried it to the footpath. Green, who is a jobbing ostler at the stable attached to the e public housee in question, took the trough, which was quit lull of oats and chaff, into the stable. Smith immediately followed him, and Wainwr'ght was given into custody. Mr. William Ina, am said his horses had frequently come home in a very bad condition, and he believed that his waggoner, instead of feeding them, disposed of the food to the ostlers at the roe.side houses. Mr. Salient : ale committed the prisoners fur trial. POLICE.—SATURDAT. MANSION-ROUSE. —THE Cairene:o ACT.—J. Dickin• son, an agent licensed by the board to engage seamen, under the 8 and 9 Vic., c. 116, commonly called the Crimping Act, was summoned under the Bth clause, which enacts that if any person shall demand or receive from any seaman any remuneration for hiring any such seaman he shell forfeit fur every such offence a sum not exceeding 51. The summons represented that the defendant :ha received of W. Marsh 34, as a remunerat ion for supplying A. Marsh, a merchant seaman, to be entered on board a merchant's ship in the nort of London.—W. Marsh, a tradesman, deposed that he was desirous of obtaining employment for his son as caddy servant on board a ship, and made ap plication to G. Symonds on the Ist June, who demanded of him the payment of 31. Not being prepared with t he he amouat he called suet morning, and saw Dickesson, w received it from him, and then drew out a receipt, but under pretence that the money had been paid for a passage, although the person in whose behalf it had been paid formed one of the crew. Mr. Huddle stein: The boy has never been at sea, and has not got any register ticket so a British aman. How, then, can he he called one ? The evience i se s in direct 'contradiction to the words of the statute i d —The Lord Mayor and Alderman Gibbs tbought Mr. Iluddleston's objection valid, as the act of parliament was strictly a penal one ; and the Merchant Seamen's Act was not incorporated in the present act, and the clause in the Me reheat Seamen's Act which deified what should be considered a seaman expressly stated that such di finition should be for the pur poses of that act, and there was no explanatory clause in the act upon which the summons was granted as to the parties who should be considered seamen.—The summons was, under these circumstances, dismissed. BOW. Sf lt ET.—Pos - r. OFFICE Ronliettlf.— IV. Harvey, a letter-carrier in the Croydon district post, was charged with stealing a letter, containing half a sovereign and a four penny piece.—Mr. Sculthorpe, one of the presidents of the London district poet, proved that, in consequence of the nu merous complaints of losses of money in the Croydon dis trict he was ordered by the Postmaster-General to test the honesty ed . the district letter.ouriers. He, thererore, sent a letter that morning, addressed to Mr. Collard, Higtostreet, Croydon, by the mail bag of the 10 o'clock despatch. He went down in Croydon himself afterwards, accompanied by Mr. Cole. lie saw the prisoner, who is one of the Croydon le tter.carriers delivering his letters , a nd ordered him to re turn to the otece with the other letter-carrier. and then asked the principal carrier , who oug ht ts have the letter in his deli very, whether he had seen such a letter ? lie then ordered the prisoner to show his letters, and among them found the letter in question, which ought not to be in his posses: ion. His letters were all sorted for delivery, so that he must have known that he had the letter.—Mr. V. Cole, an insp. ctor of letter car. ricer, stated, that after the letter was found he accompanied an officer to the house of the prisoner,where they found parte of fi ve newspapers ; one was addressed, " Mrs. Robinson, Christiana-cottage, New-road, Croydon," and ought to hive been delivered on Thursday night last. The addresses of the other papers were mimes/ ; they were all papers of last week's date. — The prisoner was remanded tor further inquiry. Inc PRIVILEGE or A LADY PATRONEBB.—J. Harding, job coachman, was charged with horsewhipping the Marquis of Drogheda, on the 7th inst., on his way to the Spiudfields Ball. at Drurrlane Theatre. His lordship was going to the ball in his carri'ge with his lady, who was one of the patron esees, and meeting with an obstructim in Longdiere, from the carriage driven by !Jardine!, he showed him the patrone sees' ticket, which ought to cause other carriages to give place ; but as !the defend ant paid no attention to this, his relship got out of his carriage, and after speaking to a gent lernan inside that driven by the defendant, took hold of the reins in order to turn the horses, upon which the defendant lashed him severely with his whip.—Superintendent Pearse said that the patronesses were allowed to pass on showing their privi lege tickets, but none of his men knew anything of the as sault complained ot, as they were not cur at the time it happened.—Mr. Jardine said he would be very sorry to allow his servant to use a whip in the manner stated, but he must confetti that his lordship acted very indiscreetly in laying hold of the reins, particularly as there was no proof that the defendant knew anythin r of the pass ticket. It was very rementile to suppose that the deferidaet considered no one had a right to touch the reins of his carriage, and he must dismiss the summons. WORSHIP-STREET.—EXTORTION. —F. A. Moore was charged with having extorted various sums of money from Mr. T. Phillips. The prosecutor stated that the father of the prisoner was formerly the proprietor of some baths in Tabernacle-square, Finsbury, which he bad been occasion ally in the habit of visiting, and at which a younger brother of the accused was one of the attendants. He discontinued his visits to the establishment some years since, and saw no more of the prisoner until the 16th of November, 1846, when the radsosted him as he was passing down the Hackney-road, told him that he had been informed he had assaulted his younger brother, and unless he gave him some money he would expose his conduct to the world. Wit. nese denied the accusation, but was so greatly alarmed by the threats which the prisoner held out to him that he gave him two sovereigns, upon an assurance that he should never again be molested. Only a few weeks had elapsed when he was waylaid a second time by the prisoner, who imperatively demanded 51., which Mr. Phillips handed over to him, under the threat that he would comuniiiicate the alleged transaction to his wife, in the event of retinal. On the Ist of March following he was again stopped IR the street by the prisoner and one Of his brothers, who told him they must have some more money, and en forced their demand with such menaces that he was induced to accompany them to an adjoining public-house, where he handed them another 51. note, and they gave him a joint receipt for the money. Nine days alter this the prisoner come to prosece.ter's residence, whilst he was at dinner with some friends, and saw the wife of witness, who load been partially made acquainted with the object of his vLit, and who was so terrified that she handed him five sovereigns. Ile then left the house, with a promise that they should never again hear from him. The prisoner, however, kept his word only till the commencement of the present month, when he accosted prosecutor, and again importuned him for I money, which he positively refused to furnish him with, and !, hastily left, but had no sooner reached home th er hadan he re ust 8, - ceived a pere m ptory epistle, stating that his broth j joined him, and that they both intended shortly to visit him 1 together. On the following morning they . accordingly V presented themselves at his house, and prisoner's bro ther having assured him that he was about starting for 4 Australia witness gave them 101., receiving a memorandum acenowledging the receipt of that and the previous sums, and declaring that they would never asain annoy or extort any more money from him, and that they altogether dis avowed any accusation they had previously made prejudicial to his character. A few days after he received a letter sta. , Ling that the prisoner required 231. more to enable him to leave the country, and that he would call at his house to re ceive the money. On Friday evening the prisoner arrived, aid after riogiug so violently at the bell that the handle came ohm his hand, he commenced battering the door with a i large stones until the police came up and took him into cut- it it tods. Upon being called upon fur his defence the prisoner declarea that at the t ime he accused the prosecutor, lie x- ; c l a i m ed, , e for God's sake say nothing about it, and I shall a l wa ys lutnish you with any money you may require , " and ! that the different sums which he subsequently received were voluntarily given without any threats whatever having been I hell out en either occasion.—Mr. Arnold considered that a L printafaca ease of gredi extortion had been clearly este ft blished against the prisoner, and he should order him to be remanded for a week. NI A RLBOROU H-STRE ET. CHARON or FEAVD AND FONGEILY.—L. L. Woke, who formerly held a com mission iii the 48th Native Beo gal Infantry, was re-examined, !, charged with havi n g attem p ted to commit fraud on I Messrs, Hunt and Roskell, silversmiths, Bond-street, by means of a forged acceptance for 12,500 rupees. The pri soner had ordered plate to the value of 9001., for the Mess I Committee, and produced a letter from Major Troup, and the acceptance in question. When he had arranged about the plate he selected gold studs and buttons to the value of 1 101., with which he left the shop. The firm subsequently I discovered that the bill was a forgery. The prisoner was also charged with having . uttered several forged East India bills to other tradesmen in payment of goods, and as security for advances of money.—Mr. Humphreys called as witness Lieutenant-Colonel H. Clarkson, of the 48th Bengal Native Infantry, who stated that he was well acquainted with Major Troup. The signature to the bill produced, dated 9th Apra, 1848, for 12,600 rupees, was not in Major Troup 's hand writing, and was a forgery. The letter produced, bearing the same date and signature, was also a forgery. The pl. s aner was remanded uatil Saturday next —Mr. Roberts, a tailor, ia Holborn, applied to Mr. Bingham, to allow the delivery to him of a quantity of new clothes which the priso ner had not paid for.—Mr. Bingham dired the fficer to give them up to applicant. Several other victims o amongst whom was the prisoner's laundress, applied to have their bills paid out of the money found upon the prisoner. The bills were paid. SOUTHWARK. —ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED NUE: DEE.—Marga!vt Constricts+, alias Black Meg, and Thema and Mary While, the keepers of a house reserted to by thieves of the worst description, in Ewer-street, Gravel-lane, Southwark, were charged with attempting to murder T. Fletcher, and with robbing him of 14s. The prosecutor, whose face was covered with bruises, said that on the night of the Ist instant he saw the prisoner Courtesy in the Red House Tavern, at the corner of Ewer-street. A little before 12 o'clock he left the house, followed by Courtney, who told him she was a married woman, and that if he would &Mal. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY EVENING. The settlement of account has been the engrossing busir.ess of to-day. There have been two or three defaults, which with an allowance of reasonable time are likely to be satisfactorily arranged. It is really something extraordinary that, with all these violent fluctuations of prices, so few defaults have occurred. Consol with scarcely a transaction except for balance s, of accounts, were all day 87 1 to for money and new account fixed for the 10th of August. Reduced Threes, 87i to a Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 87 to 8. Bank Stock, 193 to 5. Exche quer Bills, 455. to 495. premium. India Bonds, 265. to 30s. premium. Long Annuities, 8 15-16 to 9. In foreign stocks scarcely half a dozen transactions have to be recorded. Spanish Fives were down to 11 to i ; the Threes, 21i to 2 ; Passive, 2Z to 31. Por tuguece, 17 to 18. Mexican, 161 to 171. Brazilian, 68 to 70. Peruvian, 32 to 5. Dutch Two-and-a-lialt per Ceuta. 441 to 51; the Fours, 69 to 71; Russian, 97 to 100. Consols shut for the dividend on the 13th ult., at the average rate of 841, with the dividend on of 11 per cent., reducing the quotations as now made ex dividend to 831. The rise has been therefore fully equal to 4 per cent. from lowest to highest. Of inter mediate variations no account is, or can be, taken. Prices have varied from day to day, and business has been accordingly affected, so that it would be impos sible to guess even at the average of the fluctuations by which the market has been disturbed, and Lases have been made by parties of one opinion, or profits by those fortunately in favour of the rise. 1)N (MIMI FUND?.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Before Mr. Commissioner Lew. IN RE THE RIM CHARLES WETHERELL.—SEQUES. TBATION OP A Ltvireo.—ln this OA!, which has repeatedly occupied the attention of the court. judgmenr was delivered on Saturday. Mr. Wetherell, rector of Byfield, North ampton, has been some time in the Queen's prison, and on a vesting order tke provisional as,ignee had obtained a segues tr,tion of his living, and had applied to the court for an order cn the Bishop of Peterborough, in whose dioeese the living was situate, to pay the money at present in his hands, and which amounted to 7001. 14s. I id., into this court, which was refused on th e two grounds, that there were proceedings pending, and that this court had no power to make such an order.—Mr. C coke represented the Bishop of Peterborough, and Mr. Nichols appeared for the provisional assignee.—The learned Commissioner was of opinion thee the provisional assignee stood in the Fame position as any other assignee, and in his appointment a sequestration could be obtained. The Bishop of Peterborough stood in the same character as a sheriff, and could be made amenable to this court. lie did nut think the Court of Queen's Beach would interfere in such a case, and he was clearly of opinion that this court could enforce an order on the Bishop of Peterborough. The rule would be made absolute for payment of the money into court, less the taxed costs of the bishop and of the provisi onal assignee. The rule was accordingly made abadute.
