Thit was an action to recover demur • for breach of pro mise of marriage, brought by Caroline Matilda G•sodwin against Edward Morrison Pegge. This de:eudant pleaded —drat, that he Dryer promised; and, secmdly, that the after the time of making the promise had lewdly and in4ropsey conducted herself with Charles Young, a man named Ifibberd, and same others. Upon these plea issue we' _Holed. Mr. Caemliere, Q C., with Mr. Prentice, appeared for the plaiht.ll, Mr. Serjeant Wilkins and Mr. Johnson I.r the det.itilaiit. Mr. Chem'. rs said that the plaintiff wu one of thirteen thildren, her father being a respectable man living at Bet e •, in Susses. In 1817 the defendant was introduced to the plaintiff, who was then residing at Battle, he pail atten tion to tier, sail ultimately became her accepted suitor. He took advantage of his position, and under these circum stances the plaintiff became pregnant. She went to Brighton, sad was there confined. The fart of the preg nancy was (uncoiled from the knowledge of the father. She bad a second child by the defendant. The defendant then went into the north of England, but kept up the most intraday intercourse with the plaintiff. Thus continued natters from 1847 to 18.52, the defendant continuing his attentions during the whole of this period. In 1852 he Inarriel a woman possessing some money, and left the plaintiff with one child (the other having died) alone and lielph as. It might be said that the plaintiff, having dwitted the path of virtue, had forfeited her claim to amages, but it was not for her seducer to turn round with this plea. Again, a most wicked statement had been put upon the record. It had been said that the plaintiff since the time of the promise of marriage had been living a lewd and improper life ; the only answer he would make to this was to defy the learned es rjeant on the otht r side to prove such to be the case. Harriett Eliza Goodwin was then called and examined. She mid—l am the sister of the plaintiff. lat present reside with my lather and mother at Long Sutton, near Maidstone. My father is a brewer. In 1347 my father fell into difficul• ties. My sister and I then opened a milliner's shop at Battle. We had a house and lived together. The defen dant was then introduced by Mr. Charles Young, the brother to the solicitor fur the defence. After this he often came to sue us. He was steward to Sir G. Webster, of Battle Abbey. The plaintiff and defendant used to meet at church every Sunday, and after church Purge used to juin my sister and myself in the park. We used to walk about for an hour or so. I wa.; always told to run on. The plaintiff and defendant walked together. He used to visit us in this manner, and the walks on • Sunday continued until 1819. My sister left our house in 1849. She went to Brighton. She said she was gt.ttig for a holiday. 1 saw my sister with this ring (producing a ring) upon her finger is 1849. She came boost one day with it on. I chaffed the defendant about the ring. I said to the detendant, " You have given Carry tan engaged ring." It was a figured ring, without any stone. Ile replied, I shall give her • plain one some day." I know a person named Ilibberd. Ile was an ar titled clerk to Mr. Young. Mr. Young was my father's lawyer. I became acquainted with Mr. Hibberd through Mr. C Young, an articied clerk in Mr. Young's office. Defendant on one onasion said to me, Mr. Ilibberd ad mired nay elate, very much, and asked whether my sister thoezht anything of hint. The defendant also said it had been reported that Ilibberd said he would cut him (Pegge) out. Ile then asked if I knew whether Hibberd had made her an offer. I said. lt Yes, but that my sister thought of r.n one hut him." lie replied, If she doee ' I will bre di off the engagement, and will not make her may wife." My sister was at Brighton two cr three months. When she came back I earned from her that she had been confined. I did sot toll my father and mother. lam aware that the child died. I know the de• tendant's handwriting. These three etten are in the handwriting of the defendant. (Three letters were then put in and read. In the tied, the plaintiff spoke of his visit to Xasehester, and expressed his desire to enjoy her com pany. In the second, the defendant said that hie thought/ had been upon the plaintiff all day, that ha could think of nothing else ; that her letters, although she thought here II no let•er writer, were of great consolation to him. In the third letter be signed himself , " Your unfortunate lover.") Essmination resumed—When my sister returned from Ilrisihtoc, both she and I went to reside at my father's ; the defendant visited the plaintiff there. My sister afterwards went to live at the house of Mrs. Buckingham (another of my sisters.) She afterwards left Mn. Buckingham's house sod came to Logsdon. The defendant is now an al:Mouser at Hastings. Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—My father keeps a her/160p as well as a brewery. Ho kept a beer shop at Battle. I have been living with my father lately. I have also lived for two or three weeks at Marestrect. Hammond-road. Mrs. Stokes keeps the house. Mrs. blokes is not • relative of mine. My sister also is living there. My sister and I took the first floor. We went there because of my sister having to come up to see the lawyers on this matter. They reside in Furnivareimn. Mr. Young has called at our house 2 or 3 times, when we kept • mil liner's shop. The house contained two dwellings with one door. A Mr. Ford, a blacksmith, occupied one of the dwelling., we the other. Mr. Charles Young has not beta in oar house at night. He has walked with me early In the evening, before amok, in the summer time. That has ocennell frequently when be his been with Pegg.. I have not bed intercourse with Mr. C. Young. Ile did not have connexia with me in the presence of my sister. I will net answer the question whether I have had connesion with any men. lam not obliged to do so. I have not had counesion with a man while another named George Biddler was under the bed. I krow Mr. Wagner. I /*collect Mr. Wagner throwing stones against our window, and Mr. Ford, who loved in the nest dwelling, being awakened thereby. I came to the window. Wagner said, " Let me in, my dear." He then ran off. My sister and I slept together. I thought to myself she was in the (emit) way when she left for Brighton. I knew Walter Levy. I will not answer the questMa whether or not I have had connexion with him. When my sister came back from Brighton she was much altered. She went to live with her father and mother. The ring was given in December; the intimacy commenced in June. The defendant mover passed • sight at our house. No one ever did so. Mr. C. Yams amilamstbat gentleman never had wine there. lam la die drammskias business. I am not much at home. Igo out to work. Ido nothing but dressmaking and millinery for a living. The rent of the Loose which I and my sister occupied was 101. a year. My ',Later had a second child. I think it was born in BM. The defendant allows is. a week for the child's keep. The plaintiff is older than I. Reexamined—We went to Mary.street because we knew the neighbourhood. My sister has been several times to Mr. Baslam's, the lawyer's, since we have come up. I only know Mr. Wagner by sight. The time alluded to when he threw up the mope was in 1848. There were some other men eanding by laughing. Charles and Henry Young and Mr. Hibbard an hen. I have seen them Den. Charles Augustus Goodwin, the father of the plaintiff, was this esteemed. He said—l keep a beerskop and brewery. I settled in Battle in 1810. I have bad 13 children. One I lost in the mash•tub. I know Mr.Youag. He acted as attorney for the mortgagees of my property. I left my brewery at Battle in 1846. I hired premises for my daughters to set up in bunion,. I know Mr. l'egge. I knew he was keeping my daughter Caroline's company when she kept the shop at Battle. Peggy afterwards •isited her at my house frequently, I allowed my daughter to walk out with I'egge. I took him for a respectable man. Charles Inskip was then culled and ezamined. He said —I am an auctioneer. I married one of Mr. Goodwin's daughters. It was about 14 years ago. I knew Mr. Pegg, is 1147. I have men Pewee with the defendant. I knew that he was paying his addressee to my sister-in-law. Mr. Peggy is living at Hastings with a lady, and I believe him to be married. _ _ This concluded the plaintiff's ease. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins said he had a sliest painful duty to perform. He would, however, in :he execution of his duty, state that the witness Hemet Goodwin and the plaintiff were in no way to be relied on. If he were well iostructad the two litters had in fact kept a brothel. The plaintiff had not brought this action and laid the venue in her own county because she knew that her character was too well known in her own neighbourhood. The letters put in proved no promise, nor had any witness made out • proof, with the exception of the sister, whose evidence he sub mitted was not to be relied upon. But the evidence he would call would show that, even though a promise had been made, the conduct of the plaintiff had been such as to exonerate the defendant from all blame. Mr. Walter Levy was then called, but his evidence in no way affected the plaintiff. John Feed was nest called—Be said, I live at Battle. I am • blacksmith. I recollect the plaintiff and her sister occupying the dwelling ',joining mine. I did not notice anything particularize their conduct. I have heard men talent.; sometimes as late as 8,9, and 10 o'clock at night. I rer..lltct • man, whom I believe to be Mr. Wagner, eallinf. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning. I went to the window. lie said Come down, my dear, and let me know Mr. Hi►herd.

He said—l . am an*attorney practising at Brighton. I W• 4 artic:ed In 1866 t o lay lituthet. at Battle. I kncw the plaintiff about 1819. BM and her sister were then krepilansilllner's shop. Oa several occasions I went into the •n tire par_ bar. I have been at their home at 12 o'clock at night, this matter six weeks ago Some other persons were called in support of the defend ant's ease, but they voted nothing material. Ilibberd was not called. Mr. Chambers replied, and contended that the evidence sow given by the defendant in no way altered the plain till 's case. Ni one witness hail proved any improper pro ceedings on the part of the plaintiff. Although the learned mune lon the other side had made, according to his in structions, such grave statements against Miss Godwin, those statements were not bons out by the evidence. It was also worthy of remark that Mr. Ilibberd, with whom the plea alleged the plaintiff had committed herself, was never called, although present. Lord Campbell, in summing up, said that this was a very painful, indeed he might say, disgusting cue, and one which gave but a poor idea of the morality of the county of Sussex. The jury had first to consider whether the promise was proved ; if so, they were secondly to consider whether the plea charging the plaintiff with lewd living was proved. It they should be of opinion that it was not, then it was for them to consider the amount of damages. He would not say that this was a case for nominal damages, far from it ' • it was, however, one in which only moderate damages could be asked. The jury retired to consider their verdict. After a short time they cams into court, and returned a verdict (or the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-YESTERDAT. &MMUS AT Nal Pawl 114 MIDDLOITI.--161/01111 CAI'S! JUTTICT Jams MID • CoWIWI VAT.

This wu an actionto . ;;;;; damages for breach of a contract to employ the plaintiff, and the case arose out of the following circumstances. The plaintiff is a miniature painter of considerable celebrity, and the defendant was a photographer in Regent -street. Some time ago the plain tiff was employed by the defendant to colour the portraits taken by the photographic process, and no was paid so much for each portrait. In June last, ' however, it was agreed that the plaintiff should be paid a used salary o! ail guinea a week, and that he should be employed for a certain time. The question in the fume was the length of time for which it was agreed that this employment should continue. Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Wordsworth appeared for the plaintiff. and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Field were for the defendant. Both the plaintiff and the defendant were examined. According to the plaintiff 'a ease he was to be employed for six months, but he was to have the option of putting an end to the matter at the expiration of the first three months. About six weeks, however, before the six months elapsed the defendant discharged the plaintiff, and consequently the present action was brought. The defendant's evidence was that the employment was to be for three months only; and it was submitted that, as the plaintiff had been em ployed for more than that time, the contract had been per formed, and the defendant was not liable in this actilit. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 251. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-YESTERDAT. Hams Ma. CO/0111110) , Ell TOINBLANPOR IN 1S OAZLEY. -.- .

Robort FerdinandAtie;;. pfacTkiiiTh7iar at the sit tiug of the court, before Mr. Gurney, to plead to the several iudictments preferred against him fur fraud and forgery arising out of the corn transactions iu the City of London, which have created in much interest. In autue of the indictments the prisoner sou charged with forging warrants for the payment of many, and in others with forging accountable receipts. He was likewise charged with obtaining 18,0001., 10,00 W., 3,0001., and other large aunts of money by false pretences. The prisoner phaded "Not Guilty" to all the charges. It is expected that the trial wil l come on on Thursday (this day). 811701111 Ma. Jearres CM/WILL AND Ma. BkROX Ifu ere. John IVilson, 31, was indicted for uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note, and Margaret Thompson, 3d, was charged as an accessory after the fact, in having, according to the terms of the statute, "comforted, aided, and assisted" the other prisoner knowing that he had committed the felony alleged against him. It appeared that on the evening of the 29th December the prisoners and two more men went into the Britannia public.house at Limehouse, where they called for liquor, until the score amounted to 4s. 6d. The prisoner Wilson then tendered a 51. note in payment, but the landlord de tected it to be a forgery, end he made some inquiries, which were answered in so unsatisfactory a manner that he sent for a policeman and gave him in charge. As the constable was going to the station-house with the prisoner, the weasels went up to him and whispered something to him, and attracted the attention of the °Liter, while the prisoner Wilson succeeded in tripping him up and releasing himself from his grasp, and he then ran off, but was pursued and taken into custody. The woman succeeded In making ber escape, but was taken up the same night noon a charge of being drunk and disorderly ; but on her being taken to the station-house she was rtcognised, and the present charge preferred against her, it being alleged that by the course she bad adopted in endeavouring to assist her companion to escape from the officer, she had brought herself within the operation of the statute. With regard to the male prisoner, there appeared to be no doubt of his guilt; for, independiet of his conduct in reference to the uttering in question, it was shown that only a few days before be bask passed another forged note to a tradesman in the same neighbourhood, and that upon this ocean= he gave a false name and address. The jury found the man Guilty, and Acquitted the woman. He was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. Gawp Davison Doff tie, 22, engineer, pleaded guilty to two indictments charging him with forgery. Mr. Parry, on behalf of the prisoner, urged in mitigation of punishment that he was a very young man, and that when he was taken into custody • considerable portion of the proceeds of the forgeries he had committed was given up by him. He added that he believed the feet was the prisoner could not resist the temptation of going to the .• &inlets," where he Loped to make a large fortune quickly, and that he had got possession of the money to enable him to emigrate. Mr. Bodkin, who, with Mr. Iluddlestone, was instructed for the prosecution, said he thought it right to inform the court that the prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Bar low, the eminent engineer, and he was in the habit of drawing out cheques for that gentleman upon the London and County Bank. He had taken advantage of this to issue two forged cheques, and although it was possible, as stated by his learned counsel, that he really did intend to emigrate, he thought the court ought to be made aware of the feet that the prisoner had obtained ptieension of nearly 3001., only 1001. of which had been restored. Mr. Justice Croswell said he would look at the deposi tions, and consider the sentence that ought to be pronounced. Cherie. James Munson, 21, was indicted for cutting and wounding Merton Williams with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The circumstances of this case were of rather a singular character. It appeared that the prosecutor occupied two rooms in Boyd's-place, Shoreditch, and, according to his statement, be was sitting in his kitchen between eleven and twelve o'clock at night, on the 11th December, toast ing an onion for his supper, when the prisoner, who was an entire stranger to him, suddenly entered the room and demanded his money. He told him he had none to give him, and was walking towards him with the knife in his band, when the prisoner seized hold of him, and a dome leete struggle took place between them, in the course of which the prisoner wrested the knife from him and wounded him somewhat severely with it upon the head and the neck. The prosecutor at length succeeded in breaking some of the windows of his room and giving an alarm, and he at last was able to throw the prisoner to the ground, and lie held him there until a policeman, who had heard the cries for assistance, came up and secu red him. The manner in which the prosecutor, who is an elderly man, gave Lis evidence occasioned a god deal of laughter in the court, and he was evidently a rather eccentric indivi dual. He was pressed by blr. Parry to state whether he bad not found the prisoner in the act of doing something offensive at his door, and whether he had not himself dragged him up stairs and threatened to "Lynch" him, when his son came home, for what lie had done, but he declared positively that nothing of tho sort occur red, and that he bad never seen the prisoner until he entered his room in the manner he hail stated. Mr. Parry, in addrtssit.g the jury for the prisoner, re marked upon the very singular story told by the prose cutor, and contended that it would be idle tc suppose that the prisonrr entertained any serious intention of committing a robbery, and that the feet he bad suggested was a more likely version of the transaction than the one given by the prosecutor. A witness was called who proved that the prisoner bore a uood character. Mr. Justice Cresewell summed up, and thejurg found the prisoner Guilty of unlawfully wounding the prosecutor. His Lordship, in passing sentence npon the prisoner, said the only difficulty in his mind was whether it had been made oat that his intention in going into the house in the way he did was to commit a felony, or whether it was merely done for some frolic to annoy the singular old man who had been examined. Ile would, however, give him the benefit of the doubt that *misted upon this point, and suppose that he merely went there for the last-mentioned purpose ; hut supposing that to be the ease, when he found he was resisted, he was clearly not justified in resorting to the use of a dangerous yearn), and inflicting such senotui injuries in order that he might escape. The jury, thee, fore, had very properly cutivict*d him of this offence, and he felt it his duty, under all the circumstances, to orshr him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour fur nine months. The Recorder said he feared that the fever to get out to the gold legions gave rise to many robberies, and to operate as a check he s►euld visit with great severity any one con victed before him where it wan plain the crime had been cominitt, dto attain that object. lie also wished it to be well known that the punishment of transportation would not be the means of the parties so sentenced reaching the prosperous land of Australis ; for whatever might be the ultimata views of the legislature upon the question of trans portation (and w►ich was now under consideration), this he felt assured of, that it would not be any alteration tend ing to ameliorate the condition of convicts; which, tinder the present system, was one of the greatest hardship. As matters now stood, even if convicts were sent out of the country, it was not until they lied undergone a long and most severely painful term of imprisonment in this land. The prisoner was then transported for seven years. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-7YeareaDmr. BEZOLI Mi. SZIJILIOT A DUI; As AID4I/4 •00 71-131.PC11 The court sat to-day at Westnsinister to hear ball cases. TH■ LATE FILACAII AT THU EAST INDIA UNITID Sla ♦lca Chou. Mr. RondoJp4 Ratak, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to take his trial on an indictment charging him with an assault on Lieutenant Alfred Cooper, a lieutenant in the In dian army, at the East India United Service Club, in St. James'a•rquare. Mr. W. Cooper appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry for the defence. Mr. )laude, the deputy clerk of the pear, having read the indictment, and put the usual question to the def. a dant, Mr. Parry said that he had communicated with his learned friend who appeared for the other side, and he hoped shortly to be able to relieve the court of any fur ther trouble respecting this ease. The learned judge was glad to hear it, for having read the depositions, he thought it would be ext re m e ly desirable to have the matter arranged, if possible ' without a trial. Mr. Parry was bound to state that t he gentleman for whom he appeared was of the highest respectability, and he believed he was formerly in the army. The prosecutor was a gentleman of station and the highest respectability, who held a commission in the Indian array. Mr. Routh was the husband of • sister of • young lady whom he thought had been insulted by Lieutenant Cooper. lie natu rally felt this very much, and a great many communications bad passed between them on the subject. Mr. Routh was completely in loco parodist to this young lady, for she had no father or brother living, and after a communication he received from her mother, as • gentleman he felt it his duty to protect her. Communications had subsequently pared between Mr. Routh and the prosecutor, and on the part of the former there was an impression on his mind that he might have been mistaken with respect to Lieutenant Cooper's conduct. As to the circumstances out of which this matter arose, he might mention that these gentlemen met by appointment in the visitors' room at the East India United Service Club, and some dispute arose between them about a letter which Mr. Routh wished should be restored to hiss, but which Lieutenant Cooper refused. A scuffle ensued, and • blow was undoubtedly struck, a proceeding which in law he could not justify, and therefore he must plead guilty to having assaulted the prosecutor. Any course would be more preferable than dragging this young lady before the court, and going into matters that must be ds tressing to her family. His own feelings were very strong against such • course being pursued. lie thought the case must shape itself thus. Lieutenant Cooper was desirous, in justice to the young lady, to pledge his honour as • gentle man, that no impropriety had pared between himself and I her. Mr. Routh was also desirous, when that pledge was given, to admit that he went to the club under excited feelings, and that the assault was committed under wrong impressions. Mr. Cooper said few words would be necessary from him after what had been so well said by his friend, Mr. Parry. lie concurred in what he bad said, that it would be de sirable not to bring these matters before, a public court, sad that the circumstances which would necessarily have been brought forward, were much better kept behind the curtain. Mr. Routh then pleaded guilty. Mr. Cooper said his client pledged himself as a soldier and a gentleman that no impropriety had passed between himself and the young lady. Lieutenant Cooper then said—l wish, my lord, to state before I leave this court that I wish to do so with honour and as a gentleman. The defendant has admitted that his conduct to me was committed under erroneous impres sions. This impression I was desirous of removing, and had I not considered that I could justify the circumstances I was placed in, I should not have come to the court this day. My endeavour throughout has been to maintain in tact the honour of the young lady as well as my own, and I will pledge my word in the sight of God that nothing whatever to injure her character has ever passed be tween us. _ The Assistant-Judge said he must do Lieut. Cooper the justice to say that a speech bearing more the character of • man of honour and a gentleman he had never heard, and ha was glad that is had personally spoken instead of leav ing this explanation to the learned counsel who represented him. This was one of these unfortunato cases in which two geatlemen had some dispute and in which one had been betrayed by his feelings—which, ultbough natural, must be controlled—to do an act which no gentleman could justify. But having committed this act he had the manli ness to confess his fault, and to acknowledge that he was now sorry for what he had done, admitting that he had acted under erroneous impressions. Ihe other gentleman bad very properly said that he was satisfied and that he wants no revenge. A blow wee a thing that no gentleman could sit down quietly under, but he had taken the wisest and best course to set the matter right. He had brought it forward; the ono had apologised and the other explained the cause of this affair,and they withdrew without a stain on the character of either. He must inflict • nominal flue, and that wos that be pay one shilling to the Queen and be dis charged. Mr. Routh said be was highly gratified at hearing Lieut. Cooper's explanation. The parties then left the court. Tan Caen or " COUNT " HINNY Scuanu Titoss. Heary &Aar Thos and Edward Bantry were indicted for conspiring together to defraud Samuel Henry Webb of • pianoforte. It may be remembered that at the last Westminster ses sion of this court this pretended "Count" Thou, who re presented himself as a Hungarian refuges, was convicted of obtaining some valuable jewellery of Mr. Attenborough, a jeweller of Oxford-street, going about in • Brougham with • livery servant, and alleging that he was • gentleman of property. A warrant was issued against Mr. Bantry, who resides at Great Marlborough-street, Regent-treat, on this charge of conspiracy. Those was brought up from Celdbath-tlelds Prison, where he is undergoing his senteuce of twelve months' imprisonment, to take his trial, and Mr. ' Bantry surrendered to answer the charge. Mr. Parry appeared for the defendant Bantry. When the eau was called on Mr. Webb, the prosecutor, a pianoforte maker, wished the cue to be postponed for a short time, u his solicitor had not arrived. He disclaimed any vindictive feeling in prosecuting this case, as he had already obtained a verdict in a Couaty Court for the price of the pianoforte against a Mr. Walker, with whom the " count' had deposited it as • security for two gold watches that he had obtained from him under his assumed charac ter. The only amount now due was a sum of 351., that he had lent to Thou. Mr. Parry believed there was no implication against the character of Mr. Bantry, which the prosecutor had himself admitted, and, as there was no evidence offered for the prosecution, the jury had only to return a verdict of not guilty. The Assistant Judge considered the prosecutor ought to receive a very satisfactory explanation from his solicitor before he paid him one farthing of his fees. He knew not how this had arisen, but the parties had an undoubted right to be put upon their trial, and the jury must return • verdict of nut guilty, as there was no evidence offered on the part of the prosecution. 'Mr. Webb said he could himself prove part of the case, and he had witnesses in court who could prove the re mainder. The Assistant Judge said that under those circumstances 1 1 theca*. must be proceeded with. Mr. Parry, after a shut pause, said he had conferred with the prosecutor, and had ascertained from that gentleman that his only desire to proceed with the case was to shield him Pelf from any action for false imprisonment that might be brought against him by Mr. Bantry. On his part, there fore, he would undertake for Mr. Bantry that he would not pursue any such count, but he would say that if the case was tried, with the eminence of the most able counsel, no other result would finally he arrived at than one in favour of his client. _ Mr. "Santry was only desirous to clear his character from the aspersions that had bi.cn thrown upon it in the newspapers. A verdict of Not Guilty was then given, and formally recorded. _ _ _ The Assistant Judge believed that Mr. Bantry was * respectable man, and that Mr. Webb, the prosecutor, was equally so, and that the affair bad arisen in consequence of both of them having been made the victims of Those. From his aptxarance in the duck the jury would scarcely think that be could have palmed himself off on respectable men as a foreign count, driving about with his brougham, and making presents of jewellery to ladies in Grosvenor square. Mr. Webb bad very properly withdrawn from the prosecution, and Mr. Bantry only wished to clear hi s cha racter, whi ch be had now done. Mr. Parry thought what the learned judge had said of his client was correct, and that Mr. Bantry ought to be per fectly saddled. Mr. Hutchinson, the solicitor, now entered the court. The learned Judge asked him to explain how it was that he had not made his appearaaci! before 1 The &hater said tliit ho had come from another court. He had desired Mr. Perry to be engaged for the prosecu tion, and it was only just now that he learned that he was retained for the defence. Mr. Parry said that Mr. Hutchinson had sent to his chamben on the previous evening, but his clerk must have informed him that he was engaged for the defence. Before Tlt u wu removed from the &nit, to be taken back to prison, lie wished to say a few words to the judge in raft recce to what had fallen from him—that he wu not a respectable person. He could prove to the contrary, (or Cherces and Emcee D'Albert, brothers, who described themselves as teachers of languages of 19, Denmark-street, Soho, Pierre Berviile, a carpenter of Upper Rupert-street, Haymarket. and Leon, all Frenchmen, were charged by Joseph Rouselle, of No. 1, Yardley•street, Clerkenwell, with having been concerned in stealing a trunk containing 52 sovereigns, a quantity of wearing apparel, and other pro perty from his lodgings. The prosecutor's evidence went to ahow that Leon visited him on Wednesday week and allured him from home, after which the others went to his room and obtained possession of the property. The prisoners denied the charge which they said had been got up through spite, as they had been challenged with getting up an " Infernal machine." Mr. Corrie questioned the officer upon the subject. Sergeant John Saunders, 29 A, of the detective force, said that the prisoners Albert and Leon hod by fraud or con spiracy obtained 31. from the French Ambassador, by pre tending that the prisoner Leon was privatelymanufacturing an " infernal machine" of an improved description, in order to take away the life of the Emperor Louis Napoleon. The prisoners Alberts were the informants. They communi cated with the French Ambassador stating that Leon had taken a cellar in a man's house in Theobalds-row, Red Lion square, in which he occupied himself by making an " infer nal machine" to assassinate Louis Napoleon. They had an interview with the Ambassador who made the affair known to Sir Richard ',Layne, the police commissioner, and for a length of time numerous officers in plain clothes had been privately watching the house and the msnecuvres of the prisoners both by day and night. He (Sergeant Saunders) was deputed to call upon the French ambassador, when he happened to rind the prisoners, Alberts, there to give " im portant " information about the " infernal machine," and the ambassador handed them 3!. He (Saunders) then, pur• susnt to instructions, made proper inquiries, and on visit ing the " cellar " in Theobalde row, he merely found a few rusty old gun bends, but nothing else that the ambas sador, or Louis Napoleon, or any one need to be afraid of, and that it was evidently a trick of conspiracy to extort money. He previously to this called upon the Alberts, who persisted in demanding 101., and then 301., before they would give further information, and he suggested to the French ambassador not to give them anymore money. The ambeasadnr, however, declined prosecuting them for ob taining money under false pretences. He added that there were two other persons connected with the prisoners, whom the police were in punnit of, and he requested a remand of the prisoners. Mr. Corrie thought there was sufficient evidence to com mit the Alberts and Leon upon, and he would remand them for a week, but he should discharge Berville for the wantof sufficient to detain hint. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Rarinscrnft was charged with having forcibly violated Fanny Sayers, a gi•l about 15 years of age. The Complainant said she went to learn a business at the house of the prisoner's mother, No. 4, Upper James. street. On New Year's-eve Cie prisoner came home and entered the room where she was. Ho laid hold of her and threw her on the bed, and, notwithstanding her struggles and outcries, he succeeded in accomplishing his purpose. When his parents came home complainant was about to state what had occurred, but seeing they were tipsy she did not. On the following Sunday complainant went to her sister's, and told her what had occurred. Complainant was taken to a medical man immediately. Mr. H. Harding, Surgeon, 21, Sackrille•street, said be examined complainant. There were appearances of con siderable violence. The prisoner was remanded until next Monday. SOUTHWARK. Daniel Donovan, a powerful, thick-set fellow, was charged with committing an assault on police constable 52 81, while in the execution of his duty. The constable said he was on duty about ten o'clock the night before in Tooley-street, when he saw the prisoner turned out of the Colonel Wardle public-house. He became very violent, and used disgusting I manage in the street, whirls induced witness to go up to hies and request him to desist and go home. Instead of doing eo he turned upon wit ness and endeavoured to throw him, and in the struggle bit one of witness's fiegers. Witness, however, soon over powered him, and took him to the station-house. l'risoner was much under the influence of liquor at the time. Mr. Combs asked whether anything was known of him ? The officer replied, that six months ago he was sentenced to four months at the Surrey Sessions for violently =mutt ing the police. Prisoner said that be had become a teetotaller, and un fortunately drank spirits last night, which upset hint. He was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. Combo sentenced him to seven days' hard labour at Wandsworth. COTTON.—Llvsnroux, Fan. 2.—The sales of cotton to-day aro estimated at 8,000 bales, and comprise 6,500 American (of which 600 are for export and 1,600 on specu lation), 600 Pernam and Maranham, 6d. to 614. ; 100 Bahia, 6& d .; 300 Egyptian, & l. to Ild.; 600 Surat, 3ld. to 4ld. mport since Thursday, 12,000 bales. The market closes very firmly, but the buying has been less keen, and prim of American and Surat are Id., and Maerio id. per lb. dearer than on Friday. Other sorta unchanged. HIDE AND LEATHER TRADE. The annexed re port on this market for the last month is extracted from the circular of Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell : The activity of the leather trade, which we reported at tho commence ment of the year, has been continued in almost every de partment during the past mouth. On many articles there has been a regular weekly advance in prices, end although it has been met by good supplies for the season of the year, the demand increases ; not an article but what retains its former value, while on almost all goods, but chiefly those of the lighter deteriptions, considerable advances have been realised. For raw goods there has been also an extended demand, and higher prices, fully commensurate with the enhanced value of leather, have been obtained. Curried leather : the principal alteration in prices is in Scotch mid dlings and Shoe butts, which, following the tendency of shaved hides, have realised an advance of about 21. per lb. Harness hides have also brought higher prices. In calf skins and kip butts not much alteration has occurred, but they have also rather improved in value. Salted River Plate hides.—The import of these goods during the past month has been only 6,782 hides, while the sales have reached .20,289, so that the stock is reduced to 10,758 hides. With such diminished importations, it is not sur prising that thee, goods should have made an advance ; and we have tis quote them it higher for heavy ox hides, and Id. for light ox and cow hider. The continuance of these high prices must of course depend on the future im ports. The last news from the River Plate, reporting very small shipments of hides, was also of a nature to excite fears of intestine warfare, which must greatly interfere with ordinary business. It should, however, be remem bered that this suspension in the usual shipments of hides must sooner or later be followed by a very extended supply. East India flips: The importation of the past mouth is shout 100,000. The sales of the month rather above 200,000. Their prices have slightly exceeded our recent quotations, particularly those of the middling and lower qualities, many of which have been wanted for exportation as well as home consumption. The stock which is now 270,000, is less by above 100,000 than at the close of the past month. English Oak Bark remaias in its formes quiescent state, scarcely anything is doing in it. Foreign oak bark continues also stationary—prices are rather easier. Import 43 tons. Valonia.—lmport, 85 tons. The sales have not been large—prices unchanged. Present stock 8.50 tons. Terra Japonica : The import of the month is 15 tons. Since our last Monthly Circular the price of Gambier advanced, and was at one period sold at 265., since which it has receded, and is now 235. Catch continued at our for mer quotations until the last week, but has now advanced 20s. to 30s. per ton. Market hides have been abundant, and continue at former prices, with the exception of those of light weights, which have advanced fully Id. per lb. Market Calf Skins remain unchanged. Market horse hides are Bd. per hide higher. CORN.—Boaroar, Feb. 2.—We have had a very dull market for NVheat to-day. Where sales were e ffected fernier' had to submit to a de:line of about 21. per qr. from the prices of this day week. Millers being cautious pur chasers, very little Wheat changed hands. Wheat, red, 443. to 465. ; white, 495. to 50s. Beaus a little lowe r , an d not many showing. Srucwrort-ort-Tzas, Feb. 2.—The arrivals of Wheat for the past week are liberal. To this day's market we had a Fund supply of grain from the growers. Wheat met a slow pals, at a decline of Is. per quarter. Oats met a moderate demand. Beans the turn dearer. The price of Flour is re duced to 375. per sack. Doom:9, FEBRUARY I.—We had an extremely dull market at our Corn Exchange to-day. We do not alter our quotation; of Friday for the trilling business transacted, but the tendency of all articles war to lower rates. White wheat, 26.. to 325. ; red ditto, 2.55. to 30s. ; barley, 12s. ed. to 16s. 6d. ; oats, 10s. to lls. ; rapeseed, 21s. to 235. per brl. ; oatmeal, Ils. to 129. 6d. ; bakers' sour, 14s. 6d. to 18s. per cwt. ; Indian Corn, 31s. 6d. to 345. 6d. per 4801bs. CATTLE.—Cnoynos, Feb. 3.—At this morning's mar ket we had a short supply of both Beef and Mutton, and trade brisk at last week's prices. Choice fat Calves made 4s. Bd. to 55.; inferior, 4s. to 4s. 4d., per stone of 81bs. Small Pork, 3s. Bd. to 4s. ditto. Store pigs in good demand, at last week's rates. Roasting Pigs, 7s to 10s. each. Suckling Calves, 20s. to 255. each. There wu no lean stock worth notice. RIADINO, Feb. 2.—This extensive fair for the sale of both lean and fat stock yesterday was abundantly sup plied, and the attendance of buyers, both local and from distant counties, was numerous. All kinds were in great request. Store Beasts of all all breeds sold in rapid succes sion, particularly those suitable for stall feeding, which in most instances, realised 111. to 201. per cent. over the 'slices of last year. Barrett Cows were in great demand. 2s. 6d. to 3s. per stone being ob tained for them easily.

John Lo fon, 30, servant, pleaded guilty to stealing 3 salvers, 2 jugs, 3 ladles, 24 forks, 3:3 spoons, and other article* of plate, the property of Charles Jeans F. Newton, his muter. _ _ It was stated by Mr. Dunn that the prisoner had com mitted the offence with a view of getting gooney to fit him out for Australia. _ _ the inspector at Vine-street station had in his possession documents from the Prussian and Austrian nabssies, show in.; that be was the owner of large property in bis own country, and that it was wrong on the part of the judge to say that he was not respectable. The Assistant Judge adhered to his statement, and the prisoner was re-conducted to Coldbath-fields Prison. ...erhispe later. I have bad intercourse with the witness Harriet.

Store Sheen sold quite as well as at previous fairs, but their condition was far frem good, and buyers were cautious in selecting their lots from the flicks off light soils, being apprehen-ire that Sheep on the heavy land are much injured through the wet season. The Horse fair was well attended, and many useful animals were ezhibitid, which sold at high prices. There was an extensivs supply of store Pigs, and trade was brisk, at im proved prices. Fat stock sold freely, prices ruling about the same as in the London markets.

The market for breadatuffs is heavy, and somewhat un settled, and but little business has been transacted therein since our last. Both meal and flour are in abundant supply, Out holders generally are firm, at prices which the trade decline to accede to. The probability is, that dealers will endeavour to shake the firmness ef receivers by refusing to purchase except for immediate consumption, and thus force them to sell on easier terms. The chances, however, are thought to be in favour of receivers, as no important addi tion to present supplies are immediately anticipated, and prices, in that case, will be supported. I'icaled fish is not plentiful. All descriptions sell readily at the quotations. There is, however, a large stock of dry cod in tierces on hand; and prices have given way to a small extent, owing to the comparative scarcity of box fish. The produce mar ket is quiet. Tux Pnovralos BENNIS' OF 18.52 —lt is very gene rally allowed that this branch of our island trade was more remunerative, and was attended with a lesser degree of risk during the past year titan had been the ease for several years previously. A more considerable business was done in the principal articles of consumption, and subjected to fewer Ructuat:ons of value than was expected. This result may be attributed in a great measure to the 'Usenet' of spe culative inquiry. Importers generally were content, or rather were compelled by the force of circumstances to confine their transactions within certain limits, which, while they rendered heavy losses of almost im possible occurrence, secured larger profits than compen sated for the smaller hazard incurred. But this eff ct, notwithstanding that it affords room for congratulation to the interests immediately concerned, was not produced without serious detriment to the large body of consumers generally. The price of almost every article of provisions maint tined a higher average during 1852 than was con sistent with the reduced means of the population, and was the more severely felt by reason of the very general failure of the crops of native vegetables, to supply the place of which recourse was obliged to be bad to the dearer articles of imported breadetuffa. A reference to the comparative table of imports published in another place will prove to how very considerable an extent the importations of flour and meal during the past year exceeded the receipts of 1851. The excess in Kingston alone amounted to upwards of 20,000 barrels, whilst throughout the island there were im ported in the financial year terminating Oct. 10, 18.52, 40,000 barrels of flour and meal more than had been re ceived during the previous twelve months. On the other hand, and still further to support our assertion as to the in creasing distress of the people, it will be observed that the receipts of articles which may be regarded as luxuries, or which at least are not of the first necessity, were consider ably smaller than those of 1851; and, consequently, we find that of salmon, pork, beef, butter, lard, wine, tobacco, brandy, the consumption fell off to a very material degree. In fact so few inducements offered for their importation that the quantities received in 1852 bore no proportion to those of previous years. We ought not to conclude our remarks on the business of the past year without alluding to the gratifying results which have mani fested themselves in connexion with the establish ment of Messrs. Verlcy and Rohinson'e biscuit factory. Short as has been the period during which the steam ma chinery has been substituted fcr manual labour, the opera tions of the firm have produced a very sensible effect on the importation of foreign biscuit; as is sufficiently proved by the decrease in importations during 18.52 of upwards of LON barrels of crackers and pilot bread, as compared with the receipts of 18-51. We are not of course prepared to say whether the results, as far as remuneration is concerned, have been equally gratifying, but we ft el satisfied that the opposition offered to the foreign producers has very ma terially lessened the cost of the article to the consumer. Pity it is that we are not less dependent than we are on foreigners for other articles which could be produced here, of as good quality, and in many instances at cheaper prices, than we are now obliged to pay for them. THE Day GoODB THADE.—The dry goods business of 1852 retrograded to a degree proportioned to the prosperity of the provision business. The means usually appropriated by the lower and middle classes to the purchase of elothinl were largely diverted from that purpose by the necessity to live ; and the general dearness of food left but an insignifi cant amount to be divided among the numerous stores and warehouses of the city. The retail dry goods business, therefore, fell considerably short of the amount transacted in 1851, small and unremunerative as that was. As regards the wholesale end foreign dry goods trade, we have no in formation on the subject calculated to invest it with charac teristics of prosperity or success. It was duller and more languid, if that be possible, than the business of the pre vious year. Rumours are current of the intention of more than cne wholesale house to wind up their affairs, and transfer their energy cad capital to countries which offer better prospects and more encouragement for the same. The dulness noticed in our last has continued to prevail very generally, and only a temporary activity has been manifested in cornmeal and soap, some rather important speculative transactions in which have occurred. Rum and sugar have improved in value ; but the cir cumstances under which prices Lave advanced is not likely to be of long continuance. In all other respects the market for imported goods re mains as at date of our last issue. BurvEn.—The sales since Wednesday have reached full• 500 firkins Irish, at Ild., but that fig uro is now re fused for tho remainder—sons GOO firkins—in consignees' hands. BEEP.—We note Gahm of 100 half-barrels flalstead's, at 50s. Smith's is held for an advance. CORNMEAL has moved freely under a good speculative inquiry. The first operations touched 1,000 barrels in store, and 600 barrels to arrive, at 225. Subsequently 300 barrels commanded .an additional 6d. There is now not any in first hands. _ CANDLIM—TaIIow of good brands have commanded 71d. readily, and the stock has almost run out. It is expected that the next receipt will sell at an advance. Coax.—American is held for Ss. 9d, to 9s. per bag. CODFIIII.—The market has been very quiet since our last, and no wholesale operatioos%have transpired. We do not alter our quotations. The stock has been increased by another ill-assorted cargo. Citszen.—We quote D. G. at 104. to 11d. per lb. FLoua —But little business has been transacted in this article since Wednesday. Some moderate parcels of fresh Baltimore have changed bands at 33e. to 341. with 300 brie. New Orleans • a 325. 6d. _ _ _ Ginn. —Doubloon continued scarce and wanted. We now quote 34d. to 4d. per cent. premium. American gold commands Z per cent. HIRRINGS.—Remain as hat reported. LARD is in good inquiry at 91d., with a very moderate stock. MALT.—Balk porter is wanted; bottled is without change. Macxxxxx has been taken at 345. in cargo. OIL.—Cod : the last rate is well supported. Blot —We note further sales of Bengal to the extent of about 500 bags, at 17s. and 17s. 3d. and 17s. 6d. per IGOlbs. Patna and Assuan sell is moderate parcels at previous prices. Ruts is scarce, la consequence of the inability, from the heavy state of the roads, of receiving supplies from the interior. Sox". —A rather large business has been done in Steele's. Several thousand boxes 48Ibs. Feather, have changed hands at 94. 6d. to 10s., with proportionate quantities of crown at 16s. for 601b5., a...d 15s. for 561 b. boxes. There is now but one parcel of 48Ibs. Feather in first hands, and which is held for an advance. TONOVM3.—We quote Irish pigs, at his. per half barrel. SUGAR.—Prices have improved under circumstances simi lar to thou° alluded to in our remarks on rim. We now range our quotations at 13s. 6d. to 20s. for dark to fair. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.—Colonial and Jamaica Banks —9O days, per cent. prem. ;60 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 30 days, 14 par cent. prem. NEWSY AND ENNISKILLEN RAILWAT.—Tho re port to be submitted to the proprietors at the sixteenth general meeting says : " The directors have much pleasure to submitting, for the information of the shareholders, the accounts of the company, made up to the 31st of December last, and duly audited. From these it will be seen that the receipts for the lut half-year amount to 5,7431. Us. 21, and the payments to 3,4801. fu. 4d. The directors er,ter tain no doubt that the present rep rt will be highly satis factory to the shareholders, as, euring the put half-year, the suit against the Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor Company has been terminated by the repayment of the 8,000/. lent to them with all interest and cysts of the suit ; —a la►ge portion of the forfeited shares, refused by the shareholders at 11. per share, have realised nearly double that amount—and the iron rails for the permanent:way have been purchased at about one-half the present prices of such materials. These combined and successful results place the financial affairs of the company on a very substantial foot ing, as the balance at the bankers will be sufficient to cover all the engagements of the company for completing the line, and leave a surplus available for other purposes. The di rectors did hope that by this time the line would have been opened fur traffic, but the wet weather which has prevailed so continuously for the last four :aunt hs may have rendered it difficult for the contractors to proceed with the works so sspicity aa they expected."
