To this sum It is expected (says the Consbrolge Adoereiser) another 100,0004 will be added by public contribution, and in a few yenta Manchester may possess a university which, while not ruferior to any existing establishment in its means of general education, will at once take, as regards practical science, an unrivalled position. THE SANATORY CONDITION Or MANCHESTER IS attract ing the attention of the authorities of that town. On Tues. day several informations were heard at the Borough Court against parties who bad neglected to provide proper drains and conveniences for the occupiers of certain cottages. Mr. Neale, the superintendent of nuisances, appeared in support of the tutor:nations, and Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Sidebott.'m, builder, of bonne, ono of the pie tism summoned ; but the whole proceedings against the par ties were of so irregular a nature, that Mr. Maude intimated that " they must really be more business-like," concluding his rem irks by handing the seam Juges and informations into the hands of the superintendent, and leaving the council, or their proper officer, to amend the bungle. In spite of this failure the exposé will do good. YORKiELIRE. WEST YORKSHIRE REOISTHATION.—WiIIiam Thallguird, Esq., Benjamin Boothby, Esq., and Leofric Temple, Esq., barristers-at-law, have been appointed by Mr. Justice Wight- Mall to revise the lists of voters for the West Riding of York shire. They will commence their circuit at Doncaster, on I Monday, the 21st of Seutember inst. STAFFORDSTIIRE. THE CONSECRATION Or ST. GILES . CATHOLIC CHURCH at Cheadle took place on Monday. This building has occu pied nearly six years in its erection. The service was strictly private, the grand opening being reserved for the following day. The church has been erected at the sole cost of the Earl of Shrewsbury, from the designs of Mr. A. W. Pugin. It consists of a western tower, surmounted by a lofty spire, richly adorned with statues, crochets, and pinnacles ; a nave of five compartments, with north and south aisles and porches; a Ladye Chapel," a "Chapel of the Blessed Ikerament," and a chancel, with sacristies and organ loft on the north. The style is that which prevailed during the reigns of the Edwards, commonly called the decorated. lountlAM.

A correspondent states that strong feel ings of disapprobation have been expressed in consequence of no inquest having been held on the remains. " There lie dead men's bones," said Biddle, the now convicted murderer. Tks place was searched, three skeletons were found, and yet lays an inhabitant of the district, no steps are taken. The' villagers around say the skeletons found were those of Hicks, the packman, and old Biddle's wife. The latter was missed some years ago, and it was at the time said that she had been killed, bat no inquiry took place. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. CAMBRIDGE AND CHOLERA.—We have previously in sisted, says the Cambridge Advertiser, on the necessity of taking effectual means to purify this borough and its environs of those subtle smells, which, we are sorry to say, assail our olfactory organ at almost every corner. We have often regretted, while walking the streets of Cambridge, that Pro vidence hs l been so liberal as to supply us with that organ. But we cannot di pense with it, even if it should prove an instrument of death; and we do, therefore, entreat the authorities to take proper measures to purify our atmosphere. Cambridge labours under natural iiisadviustages in this respect. It is unfortunately so level that drains do not work well. It is located in a fen. Still, we think that the running water which graces, sweetens, and purifies some of our streets, might be circulated more extensively. Why not irrigate the whole town ? Why not give it • thorough washing and cleansing? Winter will come and these subjects will be forgotten. Men will forget that they are living in the very heart and centre of a breathing pestilence. But Par liament will meet again. Oar sturdy legislators will come back from the pure air of their well-ventilated estates—ven tilated by the winds of Heaven—and we trust that the ad vantages which they themselves enjoy they will endeavour to communicate to the rest of the queen's subjects. Lord .1. Russell, as premier, has immune: d that he intends to usurp the office of Scavenger-General. His lordship will probably exercise his vocation in London first ; but if he comes to Cambridge we can give him work to do. King-street will be a fitting arena for his lordship's legislative broom. But why should we wait till we are ordered by a prime minister to look after our drains ? Have we not olfactory organs of our own ? Have we no brooms ? Are we dead to our own discomfort, if to nothing else ? SUSSEX. PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF THE PAVILION.—" We are not yet in a position," says the Brighton Guardian, " to state what will be done with the palace. The deputation from he town which waited upon Lord Morpeth as Chief Com— missioner of Woods and I orates, was received with the cour tesy usual on such occasions, and they were given to under stand that government was determined to carry out the design of selling the palace. The deputation informed his lordship that part of tke grounds were given by the town for the palace, and they pointed out the hardship of depriving the town of the best approach from the north, if the road formerly given up were used for any other purpose than that for which it was originally granted. This argument ap peared to have great weight with his lordship, and he expressed a desire to do all that he could to meet the wishes of the inhabitants. During the interview it was asserted by Mr. Slight, and not denied by his lordship, that an act of Parliament would be necessary before the palace could be disposed of. That of course cannot be obtained until next session. It is intended in the interval to put a memorial to the Queen and the government in the course of signature by the inhabitants, praying that the palace may be preserved as a royal residence. NAVAL. - - The Scourge, steam-vessel, Commander Caffin, is ordered to leave Woolwich this day for Portsmouth, to embark some troops. The Acheron, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Aplin, is ordered to be refitted at Woolwich for temporary service, and not to be immediately paid off, as was antici pated. The Sidon, steam-vessel, Captain Henderson, was towed to Deptford on Monday by the Myrtle and Swallow, steam-vessels, having had her masts put on board and rigged, and her armament and part of her stores shipped. There are some doubts as to her being immersed down to the line, calculated by . her projectors. At present her wheels are but slightly immersed ; and the weight of the stores and ammunition she has yet to take on board will not, it is ex pected, bring her down tothe required line. The Bloek. Eagle, steam-vessel, Master-Commander S. B. Cook, left Woolwich on Tuesday for Portsmouth, to attend on her Majesty in her next trip down the channel. It is expected her Majesty will visit Falmouth and afterwards proceed to Jersey.—Ships in harbour at Woolwich: William and Mary yacht; Ad venture transport; Scourge (Commander affin), Myrtle, Swalao, Dwarf, Grappler, Kite, and Growler, steam vessels.—ln dock : Eclair and Monkey, steam-vessels.—ln basin: Sphytax (Commander Craig); Acheron (Lieutenant- Commander Aplin); Amphion, 36 guns, Medea, Geyser, Arid, Widgeon, and Vixen, steam-vessels. Poirremouvie, Sept. 2.—The Board of Admiralty arrived last evening, and dined with the commaader-in-chief, Admiral Sir C. Ogle. Lord Auckland held a levee this morning, which, though advertised from 10 till 12, did not break up till near 2 o'clock. The other members of the board, Sir C. Adam, Capt. Bnleley, Admiral Dundee, and Capt. Hamilton, held a board to transact lustiness at the hotel, and afterwards met Lord Auckland at the Royal Naval College. Lord John Hay is expected this evening from town. The surveyor, Sir W. Symonds, paid his official visit to the different ships and steamers now building in this yard, and was attended by the muter ship-builder. Their lordships dine this evening with the admiral-superintendent, Admiral Parker. The Excellent, Captain Hinds, commenced gunnery prac tice very early again this morning, from the new battery, to try some newly constructed long range guns. At two o'clock Lerd Auckland, Captain Berkeley, Sir C. Adam, Admiral Dundee, and Captain Hamilton, went on board to witness the practice of firing at the targets, long range, and quick firing, and remained on board till five o'clock. The Orestes came into harbour this evening to be paid off. Captain Berchey, RN., is at present engaged on an ex ploring expedition through the Swillies, off the Welsh coast. He is on board the government steamer Firefly. arPOIWTIMITI, Sept. 2. —Clouts. : D. R. B. Mapleton, to Torch; H. A. Norman and C. B. Barly, to Devastation (addl.); end A. B. Dunlop, to Sidon.

Mimitrust) FiaciiWe hear that a curious and comical fracas has recently occurred en board tine of the Royal Yacht Club vessels. The yacht was out at sea, some distance from land, when a difference of opinion took place between the noble owner and the captain (a hall-pay naval officer), mid epithets of no very gentle or complimentary nature were very freely bandied between the belligerents. At length the noble owner turned up all hands, and ordered the crew not to consider Mr. as their captain, and no longer to obey his commands. On this the valiant half-pay went below, and, arming himself with a brace of pistols, returned on deck, telling the Crew, at the same time, that he wul.viff_ y their registered commander, and that unless they obeyed kie orders be would treat them as mutineers. It is also reported that he went so far as to threaten to put the noble owner in irons if ha occasioned any further disturbance. The captain ultimately brought the vessel into port but, of course, he now no longer commands her.—Standard. BETTING AT MANCITEBTER—Tveree.

Before Mr. Sasondsri Potter. BELL AND ANoTBER o. II.—BAILWAY Coers.—ln this action the plaintiffs are civil engineers, and the defendant is the Hon. Captain Gore, R.N., and M.P. for New Ross. In November last, a surveyor contracted to survey the lice of the proposed Direct Manchester, Leeds, and York Railway (of which Vie defendant was one of the provisional directors), but failing to do so, on the 15th of that month the company engnacd the plaintiffs to complete it, and to finish all the plans, &c., by the " 30th" of November. For their services they were to receive ten guineas per day, exclusive of ex penses, sad five guineas per day for their assistants, and their expco .es. These terms were accepted. The work was done, and the plaintiffs claimed 2191.95. 9d., payment of which the company guaranteed. Subsequently the plaintiffs refused to execute other work unless their former account were paid. Mr. Whitehead, secretary to the company, proved the en gagement of the plainti ff s, the execution of the work, and the ?Aims* of the charges. The company would have paid the account, but they had no money. The witness proved the guarantee, and that defendant bad admitted his liability, as he (defendant) had offered to contribute 501. toward, the expenses of the company. The Secondary said that the de fendant was clearly responsible. Verdict for plaintiffs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Before Mr. Commissioner lane. 1w RE ATIIIB.—IIKPOILTANT JUDOWEET.—THE SMALL Dears Am.—lbis insolvent obtained his final order from this court on the 2nd of July last, and had inserted in his schedule a debt of 21. 17s. due to Mr. Abercrombie. He was sued by Mr. Abercrombie, and judgment of the Palace Court was signed against him on the 2nd of May last. Summonses were taken out upon this judgment. He was ordered to at tend the Palace Court, but thinking himself safe by his inte rim order, and in anticipation of his final order, he did not attend the court as required. Subsequently he was taken to prison under the Brasil Debts Act, and he now applied to this court for his release from custody. Mr. Commissioner Fane, after having gone through the facts of the case, said that he had no risdiction in the matter. The final order was dated the lad of July, 1846, and the order for imprisonment under the Small Debts Act was made prior to the fins! order. Application refused. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—LtvzitrooL, SePT. 1. GERARD, Blur. r. Musritarr.—The defence in this case was resumed before Mr. Justice Cresswell, and Mr. S. Curtis, formerly land-agent to the Duke of Newcastle, de posed that the result of his observations of such of the plain tiff's estates as lay within the vicinity of defendant's che mical works was, that some portions of the hedge-rows and plantations were healthy and flourishing; but where decay was observable, its causes were natural. He also criticised the mode of planting unfavourably.—Mr. Richard Evans, who occupies a farm belonging to Mr. Legh, the nearest point of which is due-north of the defendant's works, said his house was exactly opposite to the chimney ; and although he had aeon vapours issue thence, he had never sustained any damage in consequence, either in his crops or planta tions. He bad himself been in the vapour when going in the direction of Newton ; it had a sulphurous smell, and affected the eyes—Several other witnesses were called to testify to the comparative harmless ness of the vapour issuing from the works. Dr. W. A. Miller, Professor of Chemistry in King's Col lege, London, deposed that he had, in connexion with Dr. Brett and Sir R. Kaye, of Dublin, made a series of experi ments at the works of the defendant, on Friday last. In the process of the manufacture of alkali, muriatic gas was evolved ; a part of that gas was condensed, and a part of it escaped iuto the air. The gas which arose in the chamber in which the decomposition of common salt, by means of sulphuric acid, took place, passed through a flue, separate from the smoke flue, into a tower filled with coke (as he was informed), through which a stream of water was flowing. The water was admitted from a cistern at the top, the effect of which was, that the gas ascending would meet the water descending upon it, and thus, being absorbed by the water, would run down iuto the bottom of the tower ; and he ha d ascertained that no vapour escaped from this chamber. The gas which was not conveyed into the oar densing tower, was evolved from six reverberatory furnaces ,• those were opened by doom through which the material was stirred from time to time, and through which a strong current of air was passing; in consequence of the flues being connected with a long, horizontal main flue, and that mate flue opened into the great chimney immediately at the hit he understood the length of the shaft to be 500 feet. muriatic acid from these furnace*, therefore, passed into the main chimney, and escaped into the air. A stream of watt" was flowing through this flue, which, of course, tended to condense a considerable portion of the gas, but not the whole ; and be had no accurate means of determining the compara tive quantity condensed, and that which escaped. He bad, however, analysed the air as it passed through the n sin flue into the chimney, by means of a hole which was broken into the arch, at two different periods of time. There must necessarily have been a difference in the quantity of gas evolved at each of these experiments, from the manner in which the operations were conducted; because the evolution of gas was greatest soon after the charge was first introduced, and when it began to get hot; and at that time a larger quantity of gas was given off from the materials used. The two periods, therefore, at which he analyzed the air were, firstly, vaunt the charge was introduced, and again when it was in more active operation. From that examination he bad as certained that when the gas was in the largest quantity, It was in the proportion of one part of muriatic acid to 1886, or nearly one part of 2000 of atmospheric air and other gases; the proportion when the least quantity of gas was evolved was one part in 6,500, or between 6,000 and 7,900. The fumes have the greatest tendency to fall to the earth in damp weather; whilst in dry weather they were generally carried to a great distance, mainly dependentupen the force of the wind. There was no water falling down the chimney, and therefore the whole of the muriatic gas from the reverberatory furnaces would pass into the air. Mehra no doubt, from observation and experience, that this column of smoke would be diluted fifty times or more in travelling a distance of half a mile *crow the country, independently of diffusion ; and taking all circumstances into his consideration, he had no hesitation in saying that the quantity of gas in the column of vapour, after it had reached a distance of two miles from the chim ney, would not be appreciable, and in no degree injurious to vegetation.—ln cross-examination Mr. Miller admitted that if a vapour coming from the chimney affected the eyes, smell, and even metals, at any distance from the works, that cir cumstance of itself undoubtedly indicated the presence of muriatic acid. Sulphuric and muriatic wises were the only noxious vapours escaping from the defendant's works, and they were injurious to vegetable life, if in su ffi cient quantity. —Mr. R. 11. Brett, lecturer on chemistry at Liverpool, con curred in the evidence given by Dr. Miller.—Mr. White, of Warrington, was re-called as to the question of damages, and he said the deterioration in the value of the unhealthy • mber he observed on the estate would not, in his opinion, exceed 200/.—Ut will be remembered that the plaintiff estimated his damage at 6,0001 I The case for the defendant having closed, Mr. Martin replied. His lordship, in summing up, said that the law affecting this case was extremely simple. If Mr. Muspratt's works had done injury to Sir J. Gerrard's property, he was entitled to such compensation in damages for the actual injury to his estate, comfort, and convenience, as a jury might think fit to award. The law did not tolerate that one person should erect works injurious to the health or property of another. There was no doubt, in many instances, the legislature was in the habit of interfering with private rights and of authorising the actual invasion of them—both by taking the property and by erecting works which might be injurious; but in that case the legislature made such terms on behalf of the indi vidual as in their judgment they thought fit, by making a law to alter the common law, by which alone the jury were to administer justice between the parties in this cause. The main questions for the consideration of the jury were, had the trees been injured by any deleterious vapour proceeding from the defendant's works were those works of a nature to do such injurr ; had they been the cause of it, and if they had, what amount of damages was Sir John Gerrard entitled to receive? With respect to the works being in themselves, under certain cir cumstances, capable of inflicting the injury, there had been ao conflict of evidence; but, on the contrary, it was stated, by the scientific men on both sides, that, during the course or the operations carried on at these works, a quantity of noxious gases of various descriptions was evolved, which wee injurious to vegetable life. On the part of the defendan t, two gentlemen had been called, of great respectability, and he had no doubt of great science, who stated that they had visited the works but week, and from the meaner in which the works were conducted in their presence, no quantity of gas was evolved which was at all calculated to do the injury of which Sir John complained; but then the jury would recollect that they had no evidence before them of the mode in which the manufacture was generally carried on by the defendant, and they would, therefore, have to draw their own inferences from the statements of the various witnesses. With respect to the amount of damages, that would be a question entirely for the consideration of the jury ; but it was a very difficult matter indeed for any one ' to estiMate them correctly, because, if the evidence for the Santa' were correct, the effect of the noxious vapour was Mot immediately perceptible, but operated like a slow poison, tad Iles lft mould not be ascertained until a lengthened pwiall bed doge* The jury retired, and after an absence dlre mem Om an hour, returned a verdict for the plain ' tl.—Emogeo USK • idler sibs beraght by the same plaintiff against s defendants soma then proceeded with, but as it was miloomeluded *hen the court rose, we shall defer our re port otit till tomorrow. POLICE.—T*TridtD - AT. MANSION-ROUSE —Fowl= AND RoIIBIRY BY • SOLICITOR'S CLlll.l.—HenryJampHyde,a genteelly-attired youth, aged only 16, was cheesed with forgery upon and robbing his employer, Mr. H. Piriery, solicitor, Fenchurch strest.—Mr. Bush attended to prosecute.—Thomas Hein, cashier at Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's, stat e d that about 10 o'clock this morning the prisoner presented a cheque for 321. 12s. 6d ., which bore the signature " Henry Peffiey." The cheque was dated 28th August. Prisoner said he would take it in two 51. notes, and the rest in gold. Wituss had cancelled the cheque, when he suspected the genuineness of the signature ; and, on showing it to other clerks hie suspicions were confirmed, and prisoner was de tained, when he gave the address as Williams, of Weymouth terrace, Commercial-read. Another cheque for 51. 4s. Bd. bearing a similar signature, was paid on Thursday las t. —Mr. Henry Pedley, solicitor, of Fenehurch -street, stated that the prisoner was is his employ, but ho had not been authorised to go to the bankers by him. The cheques were not drawn or signed by witness, but by the prisoner, as he believed, who bad never been authorised to do so. The blank cheques, he had no doubt, had been taken from his cheque-book, which ho kept locked in his desk, and which he found broken open when he came to the office this morn ing. Alexander Scott, on searching the prisoner, found another Cheque, similarly filled up, for 381. 10s. 6d.—Prisoner was then remanded till Friday. BOW-STREET.—ASSAULT ox • Serensv. —Michael Kearney was charged, before Mr. Henry, with committing an asseult upon • sentry, on duty at the residence of the Queen Dowager. Henry Martin, a private in the Grenadier Guards, mid he was on duty yesterday evening at the gates of Marlborough-house, when the prisoner entered his box He asked him to leave; he wculd not, and he turned him out. He then forced his way into the gates of the house, and when he went to put him out, he struck him in the face, and cut hie lip. He was very drunk—The defendant said that he wu very sorry, and was very drunk, and hoped that would be an excuse.—Mr. Henry said it was a • ery bad offence, and must he punished, but, taking all the circum stances into consideration, he should mitigate the fine to 31., which was a very great mitigation. CLERKEN WELL. EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION. —A middle-aged man, respectably attired, who was in • trembling state, and wet through, applied to Mr. Coast* fora warrant.—He said that this muting he was in the neighbourhood of Islington, near • field where some women were larking together, when they seised him and asked him to treat them to some gin. He refused, as they were perfect strangers to him. They then dragged him some die tame, until they arrived at a water-tank, when they pit him head foremost into it, and he had a narrow escape c his life.—Mr. Combo: How much water was in the tank? —Applicant : Four or five feet deep.—Mr. Combo : Are you sure you gave no other provocation than refusing the gin ? Applicant: Positively sure, your worship. There were seven or eight of the women • thee actio•lly carried me on their shoulders, human, un til they pitched me in. I could not resist or extricate myself from them.—Mr. Combs : You may have the warrant. WORSHIP-STREET.—Ansoen FRLONIODS Portals- SION OP PROPERTY.—Mr. Edward Honeyball, the well known brewer of Stamford-hill, was charged -vith having feloniously received a stolen gelding, the property of Mr. Thomas Colson, an extensive briekmaker, at Mercer's terrace, Upper Holloway.—Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the prosecution, stated that in August, 1846, the hone in question was pur chased at Dixon's Repository, in Barbi can, by the prosecutor, who placed it, with nearly thirty others belonging to him, in a paddock at Highgate, whence it was stolen on the 21st of September last. He immedi ately caused handbills to be circulated, but obtained no clue to the missing animal until a few days since, when he was informed that it was in the possession of the defendant, to whom be applied for its restoration, but the latter positively refused to deliver it up, unless he was paid 211., which had been incurred for its keep and other expenses. Under these circumstances a warrant was applied for, but as the charge amounted to a felony, the magistrate declined to grant it, and the prosecutor was therefore reluctantly compelled to give the defendant into custody.—The prosecutor deposed that on Monday last he saw the horse attached to a cart belonging to the defendant, and instantly recognised it as his property. He followed the animal to the defendant's premises, and related the circumstances under which he had loot it, when the defendant replied that it had strsyei into has fields, and insisted on detsiniag it until the sum before mentioned had been paid. The defendant also added that he had advertised the horse in three papers. but admitted having failed to do so until six months after it had been lost. —James Foddy, the prosecutor's foreman, also positively identified the hone, and stated that it must have been stolen, es the paddock was securely fenced, and there was no aper ture to admit of its ge.—ln answer to the charge , Mr. Hobler emphatically denied that there 'were the slightest grounds for such an accusation against his client, who was a person of the highest respectability, and said that the prosecutor and his witnesses were evidently mistaken in the identity of the animal, as he had abundant evidence to prove that it had actually strayed into the de fendant's field a month before it was alleged to have been stolen, and he should also prove that the horse had been extensively advertised in the ensuing March, and that every effort was made to trace its owner, but without success.— Mr. Greenwood, however, considered the evidence wholly insufficient to substantiate the charge of felony, however sucoesOully it might be advanced in support of an action of trover, and he should therefore discharge the defendant, with the assurance that nothing bad transpired in that court to militate against his character. SOUTHWARK. ROBRMRY. Thomas Gibbons, alias " Dukey," and John Torrey were brought be fore Mr. Cottingham, the former charged with breaking open a box and stealing 31 sovereigns the property of a Mrs. Driscoll, and the two with being concerned in another rob bery of a quantity of grocery articles from a shop in Black friars-road.—A few days ago a pane of glass was broken in the window of a grocer's shop in Blackfriareroad, and a quantity of tea and sugar abstracted through the aperture. The prisoners were seen running away from the shop, and being followed they threw away the bundles, which enabled them to run quicker, and to escape. They had since been summarily , convicted of another offence, and were now satis factorily identified as having committed the above robbery. In theeounse of the investigation, a Mrs. Mari Driscoll came forward and stated another and a more serious charge is affected Gibbons. She said that she lived at Mill-Wall, Poplar, and that in January last Gibbons lodged in her house. On Sunday, the Ist of February, there being no person at home but her and the prisoner, he went into the room where she slept, she being engaged in another part of the house. She was surprised at his absence, and on proceeding to her apartment she saw him leaving her room with her purse in his hand. She exclaimed, " Gibbons, you have been robbing me ; that is my purse and money you have got ; give it me up, or I shall make an alarm." He struck her on the breast, knocked her down, and run out of the house. On recovering herself, she ran to the street-door, but be was out of sight, and made his escape. Her box had been broken open, and her purse, containing thirty-one sovereigns, the hard savings of several years, taken.—Mr. Cottingham com mitted both the prisoners on the former charge ; but with re spect to the second, he said that Gibbons must be brought up again, that it might be ascertained how he had disposed of the proceeds of the robbery. LAMBETH--WHOLEBALS PLCNDIR BY A SERTANT. —Louisa Arney, Julia Arney, Charlotte Arney, Emma Arney, and Henry Arney, were charged with felony.— Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Rip pen for the prisoners. The stolen property was so bulky as to require a large van for its conveyance to the office. The prosecutor, Thomas Blaydes, Esq., is a retired , banker, having estates in Yorkshire. and a mansion at ' Englefield-green, near Egham, Surrey. The elder Louses Arney entered his service as house-keeper in = ber, 1843, at 401. per annum, and it appeared that a eye tembecl plundering by wholesale was shortly after begun, and earned out up to the period of her arrest on the 9th ofl August. At the time of her engagement with Mr. Muds% she represented herself as • widow without family, the fact being that she bad four daughters and a son living at No. 17, Hertford-place, Walworth. Mr. Blaydes having, on the 1 Bth of August last, got certain information as to the removal of property from his house, applied at this office, and went with Serjeant Morton of the police force to the house in Walworth, where the four daughters of prisoner were residing, and found in their pos session such a quantity of his property, as justified him in giving the three elder girls into custody, as guilty receiverl of the property stolen. Nothing appeared tote too large or too small for the housekeeper's notice. The goods displayed for identification included every variety of article in domestic 1% use up to a mattress and a feather - bed, with bad b ed curtains, window curtains, carpets, stair nupcifts counterpanes, decanters, sager-basins, wine-ghavas, glasses, wine and brandy, and, in fact, the table of the office presented more the appearance of a miscellaneous room than • court of justice. Tke greater part of the WS two days have been occupied in taking the examinable of the witnesses identifying Mr. Blaydes' property. The defames attempted for the female prisoners is, that the elder prisoner was entitled to take the articles as perquisites. Mr. Elliott committed the female prisoners for trial, and allowed the son to be at large on his own reoognieanoe. WEST M I NST ER. MILITARY VTRAOE. Richard Marsh, William Biter, and James Clark, three privates in the Scotch Fusileer Guards, were charged with the following outrage, and Edward Stockwell and Alfred Withers, CIR. liens, were charged, the former with assaulting the police, and the latter with inciting the populace to rescue the other prisoners. The facts as detailed by a number of wit nesses were these—Biter, who was drank, sallied with his two military companions out of a beer shop in Great Chapel- street, on the previous evening, with an evident determine ti on to muse themselves by insulting and ill-treating any person who had the misfortune to cross their path. Biter commenced operations in Orchard-street, by kie • over a poor woman's stall loaded with erockery•ware ; the next I exploit was throwing a poor deaf organ-grinder and his machine into the road, and the third, knocking down a man named Burrell, who has charge of New-square, be- I cause he enterfered to prevent their doing mis- 1 chief at the expense of the humble residents in that locality. Burrell, who in his fall from the effects of the blew had his head cut, fetched the police, who in vain for a length of time endeavoured to secure Biter, but were obstructed and assaulted by his " companions in arms." A crowd of five or six hundred persons assembled, and it was not until the arrival of a large party of the police, so violent was the resistance, that the three military defeadmits WON captured, and anything like order restored to the agifillimnft hood. Withers, in the course of the riot, used gal. edited to incite the mob to rescue the military, Mbl well, on being repeatedly requested to remove fleas Ile entrance to the station, struck one of the constables a Ala blow. The whole of the defendants told a rambling day, which had but little to do with the charges against do m.

THAMES. FRAUDS AT Too, GATES. - Richard Romero*, a lad. 14 years of age, was charged with defraud ing the trustees of the Commercial-road Turnpikes. It appeared from the evidence of Henry Hammond, a toll collector, and others, that the prisoner was employ e d a t the Church-lane bar, Whitechapel, to take the tolls. This, as well as several other branch ban, are left unattended after nine o'clock at night. On Saturday night Romayne went to a bar he was not authoriaed to attend, and having possessed himself of some tickets, though it did net appear by what means, he began to pass them. The fraud was soon covered, and he was taken into custody.—Mr. Baker, Moi l deputy coroner, who is clerk to the trusts, said that owing to ' the extreme youth of the prisoner it was not the intention of the trustees to fallow up the charge, bat he at the same time felt called upon to state publicly, and he hoped it would go forth, that any future attempt of the kind would be severely punished. After a severe and impressive reprimand from the magistrate, the young urchin was discharged. MONEY MARKET. WEDVZSDAT EVENING • • Business continued entirely inactive in the funds, and prices unaltered, until the usual time for closing, when suddenly, and almost without a tre-saction, Consols ad vanced to 961 to 1 for money, and 961 to 1 for account. This improvement of 1 per cent. may have arisen from orders to purchase of mere or less extent for investment on banking account, as it is unaerstood that several of the private and joint stock hanks are inconveniently pruned with surplus funds, for which no productive employment can be found in the ordinary eo,trse of loans or discounts. Ia such case the more readily convertible Government securities would naturally be preferred before the best railway bonds bearing whatever higher rate of interest. R^duced Threes were 961 to 1.

THE REPORTED FORGERY CASE ON COUTES AND Co.— The reports of the proceedings in this extraordinary case have naturally excited much interest in City circles where Captain Richardson, the party in custody on suspicion of the forgery, is tolerably well known. It is stated by some parties who have had intercourse with him heretofore, that he never was in the East India Company's service, but derives his nominal rank of captain from the merchant service, in which he was the master of ships on several occasions. He enjoyed, however, the good opinion and confidence of many respectab`c wsons, and became connected in consequence with various banking associations as managing agent in local districts in England and Ireland. There does not appear to have been any impeachment of his integrity in these positions. In the railway mania time of last year he embarked in a variety of railway schemes as director, and of course the allottees in those with which his name has been mixed up are anxiously making inquiries about the state of the concerns. Amongst others some of the shareholders in the "Callao and Lima and Pacific Coast Railway Company" are be stirring themselves to ascertain why the return of deposits, so distinctly pledged in the prospectus, should the enterprise from any cause not be carried out, or rather, should no ex clusive privilege from the Peruvian Government be ob tained, kas not yet been effected or announced. The nominal capital of this company was 250,0001., in 25,000 shares of 101. each, deposit 11. The prospectus recites dis tinctly that, " sj the objects of the company be not carried out, the whole of the deposit money will be returned." An agent was despatched to Peru to survey the line, and nego tiate with the Government for the privilege of making the railway. It is stated that it is now some four months since his return, having entirely failed in the object of his mission, the concession of the line having, it appears, been made in favour of Mr. Wheel wright, the enterprising and ingenious director of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. Why then, it is asked, are not the deposits of the Callao Company returned to the scrip holders according to the pledge of the prospectus ? There have been, doubtless, valid reasons for the delay, which the directors and solicitor, who are very respectab le men, will be able satisfactorily to explain. It is, however, time they should come forward to meet the proprietary with the necessary report of proceedings, and proceed to the due fulfilment of their voluntary and recorded engagements. tinder present circumstances, the anxiety of the shareholders seems entirely justifiable. RAILWAY NEWS. A fir amount of business was done yesterday in shares and scrips, and with some advantage to prices in the early part of the day ; but subsequently the market became rather heavy, and closest with quotations somewhat depressed. Southampton scrips were freely dealt in, and in request at slightly improved prices for some time ; but eventually they reieded to their former standing. The dealers in South- Eastern shares expressed discontent with the course pursued by the directors in raising the rates of fare on the line. They expressed the conviction that it must tend to prejudice the value of the shares, the price of which was barely sus tained during the day. Eastern Counties were current at 224 to i ; the new, 71 to 4. London and York scrips were marketable only at 4 to 1 discount; Direct Northern, at itol. The languid state of the share market at Liverpool conti nued, and the transactions were very limited. " This state of things," says our correspondent, "it must be confessed, appears surr 'sing when the favonrable prospects as to the harvest, and the abundance of money are considered. The Manchester share market was more quiet, but very steady; a fair extent of business was done, with scarcely any change in pricer. The Birmingham market continued brisk. Scrip in the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley line went up to 45 p. ; there was also a good deal doing in the Shropshire Unions at 1, and at the close of the business at 6.. 3d. p. An average amount of business was done at the Leeds Stock Exchange, at the first meeting, but, with few excep tions, at a decline on the rate of prices current on Tuesday. MEETINGS THIS DAY.

AND STAINES Ante/12%RM— AVAIOMIATION WITH TAX Sores Wrines.—The ad meet- Mg of sere holders was held at Windsor yesterday. following Is the sewed report of the e anmittee of the deputedon appointed at the general meetings of 31st July and 21st August : —" The MAC causes which, up to the last meeting had prevented any negotiation with either the South Western or Richmond Railway Companies, continued to operate until Saturday last, namely the non-settlement of the ar rangement between thaw companies. In the mean time the deputa tion communicated with the managing committee of the Staines and Richmond line relative to an amalgamation of the lines between Windsor and Richmond. This was met in the must friendly way by those gentlemen, who, on the 21st of Aug., union roously agreed to the following resolution :—.. At a meeting of the committee of management of the Staines and Richmond Railway, held at 32, Moorgatentreet, on Friday, Aug. 21, 1846. It wan re solved, that it is the opinion of this committee that it will be benefi cial to the interests of the Staines and Richmond Railway Company to arrange with the Scripholders of the Windsor, Slough, avd Staines Atmospheric Railway, in order tt'at it may be one entire scheme front Richmond to Windsor, provided It can be brought about to their mutual advantage. The deputation also sought and obtained the honor of an interview with the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, to whom they submitted the proposed alteration lif the approach into Windsor, by passing to the west of Eton ; el the de putation have the gratification to state, that Lard Morpeth, and other members of the Board, expressed themselves favourably towards the plan submitted to them, and authorised the deputa tion to report that the Board did not express any ob jection to any part of the pr'posod line. They have also to report that Mr. Page, the engineer to the board, was preseat, and eated to the commissioners that he con sidered the proposed line round be Eton would be favourably received by the provost and fellows of Eton college. On Saturday last the deputation attended the half-yearly meeting of the South Western Railway Company, at which the arrangement for the purchase of the Richmond line was unanimously adopted. That difficulty being thus rernored. the deputation have now the satisfaction of reporting that the South Western Company are prepared cordially to co-operate in the extereon of the line, through Richmond, to Maims ant Windsor, and to accept the proposals made by the deputation, and the following lassie of an agreement has been come to : That a new comeany be formed by an amalgamation of the Windsor, Cc., and the Staines and ' Richmond Company, in conjunction with the South Western Company, She directors of which are to be appointed according to the capital re- Cr=The Windsorcapital to be censidered as 120,0901., and and Richmond as 200,0001. .• Such part of that capital se the resent acripholders in each of those companies may re_ please, is to be contributed by them (taking their shares at giehe South Western company agreeing to find such part of the en muy yet be this taken up. The South Western Company garatants base the line at a rental of 44 per cent. en the gross rip (helmets' We expenses hitherto incurred) and half the prtffits, wllb as option to purchase." The report was received, and the fol resolution moved and unanimously adopted: " That a pro% i omoraitw be appointed to carry out these arrangements with the South Western and StainCA and Richmond Comfanies, and for all ether resoles required In carrying out the objects stated In the report • and that the members of the late deputation be such sountitee." • CORNWALL AND CENTRAL DEVON RAILWAY, The adjourned meeting of dissentient scriphoklers was held yesterday, at the London Tavern. Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., read the report of the committee of investigation appointed at a former meeting. It appeared that all their efforts to bong the directors together with • view to • conference had been abortive. Mr. Harvey recommended the acripholders who wished not to proceed with the undertaking, and to have their money back, to unite together in apposition, which would preclude the company getting the sanction of parliament. After some discus ton a committee wan appointed to look after the interests of the dissentients, and a subscription of Is. per share woo agreed upon to meet the expenses. After a vote of thanks to the com mittee the meeting separated. WORCESTER, T/INRUtIY, AND Luotow.—The adjourned meeting, under the Dissolution Act, was held yesterday at the Lon don Tavern. Mr. liavis, of Ludlow. presided. The votes were twain taken, when the total number for dissolution was 303, and, for pro- ceeding with the company, 2,093. Mr. Knox, one of the mime atm of inquiry, read the report, from which It appeared Out every facility bad been given, by the Lbrectors, for the inspection of the books and The committee had to complain of several things, partieu- L a r i ro L f the main of 749 L, allowed for the travelling expenses of the directors, and the engineer's and solicitor's bills, which they consi dered enormous: and they more particularly dwelt on the loose and unbusinews way in which the cheques were drawn, which wasexernpli fted by the cheques for la, respecting which a public investigation is now taking place. In that ca-e it was drawn for a gratuity to a mei mnger, who wan not in the service of the company, neither was it countersigned be the secretary. Thee stated the receipts of the company to have been 90,491/. 2s. ad., and the RIM, paid to 11,2191.25. The balance actually in hand wan 9,3901. Ss. 9d. This would admit of I an immediate dividend of 17a, per share, and if the deposits of the directors were all paid up, a further sum of 3a. would be forthcoming. After mom consultation between the committee and directors, it was armed that the committee should continue In office, to see that no engagement, for disposing of the plans to another company, should take place without • meeting of the acripholders to decide thereon. After a vote of thanks to the committee and chairman, the businesa terminated. GRAVESEND AND ROCIIESTER.—This line will he closed in the first week of November. The South-Eastern Company are going to lay a double line of rail.. Mr. Stephens made ar a vey of the railway with a view to this end on Tuesday. Arrangements have been made with ?dews. Crintell and Pete, who it is wild will employ a sufficient number of hands on the works to ensure their being com pleted in six weeks. Those of the greatest magnitude will be within the tunnel.
