IRELAND. DUALIN, Oct. 2. The considerate and generous spirit in which the government is disposed to deal with Irish destitution, and the great extent to which they are prepared to relieve the country by grants of money in its present difficulties, has just received another attestation. It has been. communicated officially to the boards of guardians throughout Ireland that government has directed that all the public moneys issued for the maintenance of fever hospitals and other sanitary establishments in connexion with the board of health np to the let of October instant, aze to be considered as grants, repayment of which will not be demanded. The extent of the remission thus made will probably amount to one and a nalf or even to two millions sterling. Meanwhile there come from various districts ac counts of lamentable distress. Ballymoe, county of Roscommon, is described to be in a state of actual starvation, as to its people, and at Dun"arvon there were present at the relief committee's late place of meeting, a few days since, 1,000 persons in a state of destitution. Of coarse, these men could no longer be relieved by the committee, and the arrangements for out-door relief are not yet in such a state of forward ness, as to be available as a substitute. Eileen, and Rooskey, too, districts of Roscommon, the distress in which last year was extreme, again threaten to be visited by wont, as the works on the Shannon, which borders the district, have ceased, and immense shoals of men who had visited England to cut down the harvest are returned, and now of course are unem ployed. At a meeting of the South Union guardians yester day, Mr. Latouche, whose information may be relied on as full warranty for any statement he makes, said he could congratulate the guardians that not only in the city, but in the provinces, fever was very much on the decrease. There are at present in the South Dublin fever sheds 100 vacancies, and there are en an average 40 patients per day discharged. Mr. Sharman Crawford, having been invited to attend a meeting at Thnrles, county Tipperary, to advocate " tenant-right," has declined to do so " until all the excitement of the Holy Cross Meeting had cooled down." His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of the appointment of the follow ing gentlemen to be Inspectors of Unions, under 10th Victoria, c. i :—Alfred Power, Esq.; Edward Senior, Esq.; William John Hancock, Esq. ; Caner George Otiiay, Esq. ; Joseph Burke, Esq. ; John Ball, Esq. ; Denis Phelan, Esq. ; Pierce Marcus Barron, Esq.; Richard Bourke, Esq. ; Charles Sharman Crawford, Esq.; Stephen Woulfe Flanagan, Eeq. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH. OM 1. Parochial amalgamation is at a discount in the west. It was formerly mentioned that the board of supervision had recommended the parochial boards of Glasgow, Gorbals, Govan, and Barony, to meet and consider the propriety of junction. The three last have met, and the result is, Govan and Barony de dine, while Gorbals cautiously postpones coming to ' any conclu-ion till the sth inst., when they will have an opportunity of knowing what the other b ards have done. In their resolutions, the Barony board repudiates partial amalgamation, and holds that there should be a uniform rate of assessment over all Scot land, levied on the principle of the iccome tax, while the administration, as at present, should continue local. The water question is becoming national. Not only in Edinburgh and Glasgow is it a subject of agitation, but in Cupar, St. Andrew's, and Stirling. Scarcity, however, not being the complaint in all these places, but rather bickering* as to whether private companies or municipal bodies should under take to furnish supplies. This morning the Edin burgh Water Company implore that private wells may be placed under their charge; and to aggravate the distress, 200 labourers, employed in the construc tion of one of the new reservoirs, have struck work on account of the high price charged for provisions at the contractor's store. The clouds continue as anti-humid as ever. Greenock his been the theatre of an ecclesiastical Imelite. It appears that the free Gaelic church be came vacant some time ago by the death of its pastor: two candidates came forward. One of them had a small majority, but having received some threat from some of the minority, he declined accepting the charge, which then fell into the bands of the second, but he in his turn became the object of aversion to the majority, and resigned also. The presbytery, anxious to get the matter settled, induced the second to withdraw his declinature, and yesterday was fixed for his induction. But over-night, the dissentients got the gate fastened with a chain and padlock, and about a dozen remained in the street rill night, evi dently with the purpose of watching against the re moval of the fetters. By the time when the pres bytery should have made their appearance the church was surrounded with an enormous mob, of which fe males formed a large proportion. On some of the members of presbytery attempting to enter, they were forced back by the highlanders, and retired to the presbytery meeting, on reaching which the depu tation found that the minister about to be inducted had withdrawn de noro. The mob kept possession till about five o'clock, when they dispersed, appa rently satisfied with their success, and the presby tery referred the proceedings to a higher court with the view of applying discipline to the recusant Celts. Road reform is retrograding in Ayrshire ; a county meeting being called for the 22nd inst., for the pur pose of instituting five new toll-bars. WALES. GLAXORGANSIIIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The annual and general meeting of this society was held a few days since (the 28th of September), at Cowbridge, and was attended by a very numerous body of the neighbouring landed proprietors and tenant-farmers. It seemed to be the general opinion of gentlemen who have known this show almost from its commencement, that a poorer exhibition of stock never took place upon any previous occasion. Both in the number of animals as well as in their quality there was a most decided falling off. Certainly there were a few good Slips' to be seen, and which, from the paucity of other attractions, seemed to excite no inconsiderable amount of attention. The animal which first claims our notice is ► re markably fine ox of the Hereford breed, bred and exhibited by Mr. Boughton, of the Splott farm, near Cardiff. Next in order of merit comes a Glamorganshire fat cow, which was bred and exhibited by Mr. Edward Bradley. This ani mal excited much attention, and was greatly admired by all. There were (we believe) only two animals of the Glamor ganshire breed in the show. Mr. Whapham, of St. Nichols,, had a very nice looking pair of Hereford steers. A yearling filly the property of Mr. B. Bryce was much admired; as were also some horses sent by Mr. Boughton. The number of sheep was not large, but, taken generally, formed a most creditable portion of the show. Mr. Thomas Thomas, Ty draw, had four young rams which were universally spoken very highly of. Hitherto, we are informed, a person who had won a prise at any of the society's shows could not main become a competitor until three years bad elapsed. The rule by which that restriction was imposed has been rescinded, and the good effects of this concession to public opision will, it is confidently anticipated, be seen in the show of 1848. PROVINCIAL. SUSPICIOUS CASE.—About five months ago a man named M'Bride, • coach-painter by trade, left Ripon, in Yorkshire, and corns to Carlisle. leaving behind him • woman with whpm he had been living for 17 years, and to whom, by his account, he had been married. He took up his residence in Carlyle's-lane, Cutic-street, and here he was joined about a month ego by his " better half." He had been failing in health for some time, and • fortnight since he rapidly grew worse, from an attack of inflammation in the bowels. No medical man was called in, but a dissenting preacher of the name of Daniels, who, it appears, professes physic, volunteered his services, administering salts and by cscia ono internally and mustard plasters t Vernally. On Tues day week, Et Bride became much worse. On the same night his wife, in a state of drunkenness, eloped to Gretna with a young man about twenty-one years:of age, whom she had known at Ripon ; and before midnight they wen married. They returned to Carlisle on the following day, and when they entered the room of the poor painter he was dead. When night came, a " *hake down " was made side by side with the bed in which the corpse lay, and upon it the newly married couple,withtwo of the woman's children, one of them not more than three years old, passed the night ! The nc'ghbours, on discovering this outrage on decency, turned the unblushing couple out of the house, and it soon began to be whispered that the first husband had met with foul play from his wife. A jury was sworn, and the body, after being inspected, was banded over to Dr. Knott and Mr. M'rrtimer for dissection. The inquest was then ad journed till Monday next, when the result of the port mor tem examination will be made known. The " bride " is • good•looking woman about 34 years of age. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. CHILD STEALING.7—A sicgular case of this descrip tion occurred in Nottingham a few days ago. It appears that a little boy, named William Dorsey, about seven years of ape, was standing at the e...rner of a street near the mar ket place, when • young sweep came up to him, and told him he was wanted. Thechild.however, refused to go ; upon this an elder bay, named Dodd, came to bins and took him to a pub'.ichnusz in an a - joining street. He was received there by a min named William Oueshury (a sweep), who stupefied the child with ale, and then took him to a house in B dloon-court (a m torious part of the town), where he MU detained for the night. Early on the following morning Duesbury, with his little captive, started for Hull, where the man treaded. From information obtained by the police a warrant was issued for Doesbures apprehensio• ; and shortly altorwards he was brought to Nottingham. The prisoner told the no tyor that he wanted a boy, and he wrote to a man in Nottingham named Neal (who is blind), to pro cure him one. Neal made the circumstances known to a sweep, and by that means one was procured. The prisoner added that it was a regular thing for one sweep to steal a boy from another when he could ; he had been stolen himself, he said, when a lad. He was remanded.—On Saturday he war brought up again, but no one appearing to prosecute he was discharged. 17“11,11,111111. COMMITTAL OF A BANK MANAGER ON A CHARGE OP Eitnetztratear.—The Ilants Independent says thin has been much excitement in Christchurch for some days past, in consequence of various rumours affecting the chs ratter of the manager of the branch of the Wilts and Dorset Banking Company in this town. All doubts as to the truth of these rumours fiave now been dissipated by the full com. mittal of Mr. Edwarl Owen Bishop, the gentleman in quest. tion, to take his trial at the next quarter sessions on a charge of emb.ulemect. Private examinations took place before the magistrates on Monday and Wednesday last, whea, it is understood, several clear cases were proved against him by the officers and customers of the bank. Bail to a heavy amount was demanded, in default of which he was conveyed to Winchester. KENT. DISCOVERY OF STOLEN .NIONEY.—At Dover, about two months ago, two men and a woman were committed for trial, charged with having attacked and robbed Mr. Collier, of that town, of a considerable sum of money. Since that psriod numerous attempts have been made to recover the stol-n property, but without success. until last week, when accidentally upwards of 1001. was discovered stitched in the dread of the female prisoner. lama. HATMARKET.—This theatre re-opened on Saturday evening with a company considerably strengthened since last season by the addition of several old-established favourites, and others of provincial note. Azimuths focuser are Mies Helm n Faucit, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean, Mr. A. Wigan, and Mr. and Mrs. Keeley. Mims E. Messent, Mr. Ranger, Mr. H. Farren, Mr. Creewick, and Mr. H. Vandenhoff are of the latter clue. The pieces selected were the " School for Scandal" and " The Invisible Prince." The first was ex cellently cast—indeed, as a whole, it is doubtful whether it could have been much better put upon the stage if a manager had the privilege of picking and choosing from every com. pony in the kingdom. The minor characters of a piece, if well supported, are most important elements in its success, and we were glad to see those of the " School for Scandal" filled by men of acknowledged eminence in their art. Mr. Webster, for in•tance, was restrained by no false no tions of dignity from taking the small part of Motes, and a successful result was the consequence. He looked and suavest the cnaracter to admiration. The Sir Be/omin Backbite of Mr. Wigan, was not quite a satisfec'ory performance, probably from the part being somewhat out of his usual line. The Introduction of Mr. Henry Farren to the bond _n boards was an event looked forward to with considerable interest, both by the believers and non believers in the prestige attached to a name. With regard to that gentlemen's powers it would be unfair to make any general assertion, as it is difficult to say how far so young a man may eventual:7 surpass or fall short of first impressions. Suffice it that in his bands Charles Surface lost riot one of its identifying characteristics: Mr. H. }wren, both in per son and manner, is well fitted for the part, and throughout displayed a knowledge of stage business, fur which his thee. trical education will sufficiently account. And while his ease of bearing never degenerated into swagger, his self - possession was the more valuable by uot being render;d too conspicuous. His voice, however good in itself, is not adspted to light comedy characters—it is too harsh, end verges at times into the melodramatic; but how far art may enable him to overcome this drawback remains to be seen. Au reste, Mr. H. Farren appears to possess most of the elements of a good actor, and, to judge by the reception of the audience on Sa • turday, of a successful one. Of Mr. Creswlck we cannot speak so well. Although his Joseph Surface had some pod points in it, it appeared to us a somewhat laboured and un tatisfactory perfermance. But Mr. Creswick will, never theless, prove a useful addition to the Haymarket corps. Mr. H. Vandenhoff appeared also for the first time in London, in the part of Carekss, in which, however, he evinced no qua lification beyond that of a walking gentleman. Miss E. Messent concludes the list of those of whom mention is ne cessary. Her performance of Maria was graceful and unaffected. The part, however, was considerably abridged— whether to lessen the labours of the lady, or to make the piece " play closer," we are unaware. Mrs. Nisbett aid Mr. Farren sustained their old parts. The house was crowded in every part. AND CLERICAL. Ox.rono, Orr. 2.—bilebselmas term commences on Mon day, Oct. 11, which consequently will be the first day for aenferring degrees.

Before Mr. Coneelseloner Erma CONDUCT or A MEASENOEIee MAN.—IN RI HILL AND MON KlWl:el.—The bankrupts were wherfirlgetr, at Mann's Wharf, near Landon.bridge, and bad filed no accounts. The messenger's man under the fiat had allowed the furni ture to be removed off the premises by Monkhouse, and the Court held the messenger answerable for the property se re moved. Tte present sitting was for the audit. The tickets for the furniture pledged were exhibited in court, and the question was whether they were to be given up to the official assignee or merely deposited with him.—His Honour de rided that they must be given up.—Mr. Lord, who attended for the assignees, represented to the court that no accounts had been filed. The creditors were determined to bring the men to justice. All the property in the case had been claimed, and with the exception of a few pounds in the hands of the official assignee there was no property ; not a farthing for the creditors.—His Honour asked what in , formation the assignees had obtained as to the fur niture pledged ? Mr. Lord said the evidence proved that it had been purchased by the bankrupt, in the name of his son. —His Honour said the case must be adjourned sine die.—An application was made for protection.—His Honour: No, not for an hour. —The bankrupt Hill applied to the court for its consideration. He was willing to file his accounts if Monk house would assist him, and he believed there would be something for the creditors. He, however, could not get an account out to prepare the balance-sheet under 151. or 201. His Honour : Nonsense, man, you don't want an accountant. If you can't make out accounts you should not have gone into business at all.—The bankrupts promised to file their accounts in a month or six weeks.—Mr. Commissioner s am, in allowing them aix weeks' time, said: Now attend to me. I shall commit you to prison if the accounts are not filed, and you will not get . out again without a superior court says I am wrong, which I don't think it will do.—The case was adjoorned to the Mk November, with protection. POLICE.-SATURDAY. MANSION-llOUSB.—Cosersascy TO DITRATD.-J. Sea gar, clerk to Gardner and Holliday, of No. 4, Pancras lane, who was a few days ago committed for trial upon the charge of haviag conspired with Cassell and Loup to defraud Mr. Gray, of Marine-place, Commercial-road, ropemaker, el a large quantity of cordage, was finally examined, charged with haying been concerned ma a garlic.)). criminis.—Mr. Gray, after repeating his former evidence to the effect that he supplied Gardner and Holliday with rope to the amount of 91!. 19s. 11d. in June last, for the purpose, as asserted by them. of being shipped ; that it was sold in this country at reduced prices, and that the prisoner, whom he had seen at their counting-house, had pledged some of it at the premises of Mr. Booth, in Budge-row, and was swan of the whole of the particulars of the transaction, said the packages were sent to the Custom-house wharf on the 11th of June. On the 28th of June I called at the office of Gardner and Holliday, end saw Seagar there. He told me the goods had been shipped, and I was to draw a bill at three months for the amount. He took the bill off the file, and I dated the bill of exchange the 16th of June, being the day of the delivery of the last goods. He said that Gardner and Holliday had gone to the docks about some goods respecting which there was a dispute. He said my gods were shipped. The receiving order produced is the one I sent with 'the goods to the wharf.—J. Holdsworth, watermsn, of Rotlierhithe, said : On the 12th of June I was employed to take six package. of rope from the Custom house Wharf to the West Kent Wharf. Seeger was the person who employed me. He accompanied me to the West Kent Wharf, end passed all the papers. I neither signed any thing nor gate any directions. Sugar paid me for the job.—Cross.examined: Had known the defendant ten or fif teen years, when he was in good circumstances. He was a highly respectable man when he kept a tavern. Had never heard anything against his character—Mr. C. Thorn, clerk at the West Kent Wharf, said: I remember when a quan tity of rope was brought to the wharf. There were six patk:ge., and they were brought by the lut witness and the defendant. They were taken away on the 14th in a cart. They had been deposited at our wharf in the name of Sugar. I believe the parties who brought the packages said they could not get higher up on account of the tide, and they would be obliged if the goods were allowed to remain. The only same signed was Sugar. If the names of Gardner and Holliday had been given, I should have recollected them, but the.; were not mentioned.—Mr. It. Booth, auctioneer, of Budge-row. said The defendant brought eight pa were ckages of rope tom, warehouse on the 14th of June. Tgoods not punted in packages, and there was no mark upon them. They were brought for the purpose of being sold by public sale, and having some money advanced upon them. A Mr. Roden come with the defendant. The defendant said be wanted 21. a hundred upon the rope. He laid the rope was known. I advanced him 211. upon the fourteen hundred one quarter and sixteen pounds. I saw him afterwards on Aug. 14. He came in the afternoon of that day, and said that he came to take away the rope, as he could get a better price for it than I could, end I charged him 31.--1. Davison, carman to Mr. Ayres, of Brtmonelsey, at the time of the transaction, said, I was employed on June 14 to take the packages of rope from the West Kent Wharf to the pre mises of Mr. Booth. The rope was in packages when I took it from the West Kent Wharf, and the wrappers with the shipping marks upon them were stripped off on Dowsate• hill, and the rest of the covering was trken off before they arrived at Mr. Booth's auction-rooms.—The defendant was committed, bail being accepted. OUILDHALL.—Ten LLOBBERT AT TEE FLEET-STREET POST-OFFICE. —J. Martin, a lad, recently in the service of Mr. Farley, the keeper of a post-office in Fleet -street, was reexamined, charged with being concerned in the robbery of 301., the property of the Postmaster-General. Although the robbery of 301. only is charged against the accused, Mr. Farley, who, of course, is accountable for the whole, is minus 3001. in his Post office returns. The case appeued in our paper of Monday.—Mr. Alderman Farneomb asked Mr. Farley how he intended to proceed?—Mr. Farley said he would leave the matter in the alderman's hands. He was afraid that the prisoner had got connected with bad company, and had thus been led away. He, however, was willing to pardon him, if his worship thought fie—The constable who had the prisoner in charge said so more of the money had been found. At the prisoner's residence he had dis covered a "lady's companion," which was part of Mr. Farley's stock.—Mr. Alderman Fanicomb determined on again remanding him. In the meantime he would deter mine whether he would send him fee trial or not. WORSHIP-STREET.— Muunatious Ouraaoa. S. Fuller. a carpenter, was charged with having committed an tumult upon R. Jennings. The complainant stated that on the 22nd ult. he went Into the tap of the Three Crowns brewery, in the Hackney-road, and accidentally kicked against and upset a box of tools belonging to the prisoner, who, calling him by an opprobrious name, desired bim to pick the tools up and replace them in the box. He refused to do so, and the prisoner himself did it, but keeping some small instrument in his hand, advanced towards him and thrust the instrument Into his eye. The witness felt the instrument run right into his eye and " scrunch" against it, he said, and as the prisoner drew it forth, the blood spouted cut in a stream; the prisoner then struck him a violent blow with his fist upon the nose sad knocked him down. The complainant had since been in the hospital, and the sight of his eye was completely destroyed—E. `Vest, the landlord's son, said that the two men were quarrelling, and the com plainant had kicked the tools about, and threatened to throw beer in the face of the prisoner, before the latter struck bins. —The prisoner reserved his defence, and wu fully committed for trial. ABSCONDING rums BAIL.—The adjourned examination of the alleged swindler J. A. Seymour alias Brookes, charged, as reported in ij o, Faper of Monday, with swindling several bakers, being appointed for this day, a number of tradesmen who had suffe from the depredations of the organised gang of which he was a prominent member were in attendance to prefer additional charges against Lim. At the former exami nation only two charges were brought forward against the accused, the investigation of which developed such a rare de gree of caution and cleverness in the management of his operations, that the magistrate expressed some doubt as to whether the fraudulent intent bad been sufficiently made out in evidence to justify hisdetention, but ultimately determined upon holding him te bail, himself in 401., and two sureties in , 20/. each. Two persons afterwards presented themselves as aunties for the accused, and the usual inquiries as to their sufficiency having been satisfactorily answered they were formally bound over for his appearance in the above amount, but it subsequently transpired that one of the bail, named Wm. Childs, a sworn constable and beadle for the Liberty of the Tower, had actually been employed by the prosecu tors to effect his apprehension, and furnished with instructions to adopt every measure in his power that appeared requisite to ensure the prisoner's conviction. When the case was now called on for hearing, Mr. Blunt, who attended to conduct the prosecu tion, intimated to the magistrate that the accused was not forthcoming, and that the fact of his baying abeeanded had not been communicated to him by Childs, the beadle, who had become one of his sureties. In addition to several eases of swindling, which he was now prepared to substantiate against the fugitive, and is which he had obtained goods to the amount of 501. from a tradesman at Horton, holed also received instructions in support of the far more serious charge of endeavouring te extort money by means of threat ening letters, addressed to a distinguished general in the army, who had been solely induced to prosecute the matter for the interests of justice—Mr. Hammill, who appeared greatly surprised at the statement of the solicitor, said that the only course open to him was to entreat the recognisance*, I which he should order to be done forthwith.—Childs, the beadle, here stepped forward, and earnestly besought Mr. Hammill to suspend his decision, as he had been actuated throughout " by the best of motives ;" but the magistrate was inexorable, and directed Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, to make out distress warrants against both the bail for the re covery of the forfeitures. ALLEGED INFANTICIDE IN SPITALTILLDE.—Getwge John Actaeon, a working jeweller, residing in Lady's-row, Spital fields, was brought up for re-examination, upon a charge of having assisted in making away with an infant, to which his daughter, Matilda Hewson, a young woman, 22 years of see, had given birth.—The magistrate being informed that the female—who has during the week been in the London Hos pital, under the surveillance of the police—could not at pre sent be removed. he therefore remanded the male prisoner. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EMIIEZZLEMEST.— IV. A. Piensan, late clerk and shopman to Mr. J. W. Moore, the =i2 print publisher, West-street, St. Martin's-lane, was with embezzling various sums of money, amounting to upwards of 4001. The prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Moore for more than seven years, at a weekly salary of 11. 16s. It was the duty of the prisoner to receive all monies due to the prosecutor, and to account to him for the same. About a twelvemonth ago, the prosecutor had a sus picion that the prisoner we, robbing him, but ns nothing could be found against him, no more notice was taken of it till about a month after, when the prisoner was seized with rheumatic fever, and was absent from his employment more than six weeks, during which time the prosecutor paid him his full salary. In the prisoner's absence the prosecutor had occasion to call upon Mr. James, landlord of the Sir John Falstaff. Bridges-stmt, Covent-garden, when on applying for a bill of 21. 19s. 6d., he said that it had been paid to the pri soner. The prosecutor then culled upon Mr. John Gavin, of Hart-street, who informed him that he had paid to the pri soner 471. When the prisoner recovered from his illness he returned to his employ, when the prosecutor taxed him with the robbery, and immediately discharged him. Prosecutor subsequently di-covered that the prisoner had received seve ral sums of money from Ben Cauat, Mr. Cozens, of London wall, and several other publicans. He saw nothing of the prisoner till the previous evening, when he met him in St. Martin's-lane, and gave him into custody. Ile bad ascer tained, by going through his books, that the prisoner was a defaulter to the extent of between four and five hundred pounds.—Mr. Cozens, of 60, London-wall, proved paying to the prisoner 21. 131., and produced a receipt for the same. — Mr. Hardwick remanded the prisoner for a week. MARYLEBONE.— RouniatO LonoING-/lOUSES.-- F. Walnut, alias Parson', and Mary Willow, alias ifack, were re-examined, charged with having committed divers bur glaries. On a former examination it was proved'that they had falsely passed themselves as man and wife. They had occupied a bed-room and sitting-room in the house of a Mr. Blunt, in Somers-town, who having mimed various articles of property off his ?remises, bad the movements of the two closely watched, and feeling at last convinced from areum• stances they were the depredators, he had them taken into custody, and on Constable Lockerby, 180 8, having en mined their apartments, he found about forty duplicates, and a number of skeleton and other keys. as also a variety of im plements suited for the purpose of housebreaking and lock picking. On the officer making inquiries of pawnbrokers In the vicinity, he found that a great number of articles, con sisting of oilcloth, wearing apparel, &c., had been pledged by the prisoners. On the female prisoner being conveyed to the station-house the attributed all her misfortunes to her male companion, who the said had not only ruined her, but many poor confiding girls beside.—The evidence tended to prove the prisoners to have committed various burglaries and robberies, and they were fully committed for trial on Ave charges. LAMBETH.—Tria DEAFER!' EARLY CLOSING Anse- CieTION.—Mr. Kingston, a draper carrying on an extensive business in the Bridge-road, Lambeth, applied to Mr. Norton for his advice. He said that on the night before, about 9 o'clock, while his man was preparing to put up the shutters, a stone was flung at his window, which broke a piece of plate glass 7 feet by 4 feet, to replace which would cost him from 271. to 281. The damage thus maliciously done he attributed to the fact of his declining to close his shop at 8 o'clock, on and after the Ist inst., in accordance with a request made to him on the subject bye deputation of young men belonging to the Drapers' Assistants' Association, Ile had done so last year, but owing to the establishment of new shops in the neighbourhood, the owners of which did not comply with the required regulations of the association in question, he could not in justice to himself pledge himself to accede to the proposed rule for the future. He also wished to mention that he learned from Mr. COTES, of the firm of Atkinson and Cotes, that previous to his window having been broken, Mr. Acute, draper, living in the same road, men tioned to Mr. Cotes that he understood "they were going to serve Mr. Kingston out"—Mr. Cotes confirmed this part of the statement.—Mr. Acute, upon hearing what had been stated, indignantly denounced the suggestion that he encou raged or countenanced the destruction of Mr. Kingston's property, and declared he knew nothing whatever about the parties who had been guilty of the outrage. What he had said to Mr. Cotes on Friday night was from mere conjec ture, and arose out of what he had heard rumoured amongst the young men.—After a desultory conversation, in the course of which all parties exonerated Mr. Mutt from all cognisance of the outrage committed on Mr. Kingston, Mr. Norton remarked, that however desirable it might be to have all the shops closed at eight o'clock, still such outrages as that complained of could not be tolerated, He should give every assistance in his power to repress them, and be hoped Mr. Acutt would give every assistance also to bring the guilty party to justice. This Mr. Acutt promised to do, and the parties withdrew. WOOLWICH.—RopBERT.—Sarah Willson, was charged with robbing Mr. James Farrell, an engineer in the Royal Navy, of It. 7s.—The prosecutor mid that the night previous he met with the prisoner, and being a stranger in the town he asked where he could obtain a lodging ? The prisoner asked him home, where ha could be amply accommodated. He accompanied her for that purpose, and paid her 2s. for his bed, having 101. 10s. Bd. in gold and silver lately in his pocket. In the morning he found that he was 11. 7s, defi cient. He assessed the prisoner of taking it, when she went into the adjoining bedroom and cut open the bed tick, from which she took a sovereign, and afterwards she produced is. more. She was then given into custody. Prisoner attributed the robbery to another female.—Mr. Traill : Do you mean to prosecute this case at the sessions ?—Farrell I do, your wor ship.—Mr. Traill : And you think nothing of your own disgraceful conduct in going home with such a character, and expect not to be robbed I—Farrell: Whatever I have done is no reason that I should be robbed. It would be holding out encouragement to be robbed with impunity.— Mr.Traill : I think you are one of the most impudent fellows that ever got in • witness box. loar conduct is most dis graceful to stand up so boldly and ask me to prosecute a female after going into so infamous a place. Other persons would have gladly avoided exposure in a public court —Far rell I want, not only my money, but to punish sues people. —Mr. Traill • Then you may punish her at your own ex pense, as I will not put the country to the cost. Yon can prefer a bill of indictment at the sessions against her. She ts now diseharzed.—Farrell, on leaving the witness-box, muttered out that it might be law, but, certainly, was not justice. It was different in the naval service, let the case be what it might. ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.—IV. Hampton, a gunner, be longing to the 6th battalion Royal Artillery, was charged with stealing a silver watch, from the Royal Artillery Bar racks, the property of Gunner John Sameway.—Sergeant- Major W. H. Lazenby, Royal Artillery, deposed that the prisoner had been in the regiment three months, and that he deserted from the regiment on Saturday, the 4th of Septem ber, and returned to the regiment on Monday, the 27th of September, and confessed to wi•ness that he stole the watch from Gunner Someway, which he pledged the same day at Mr. Moores, pawnbroker, and afterwards sold the ticket for Is. The owner of the watch was at present on duty.-- Mr. Traill said the prisoner should be remanded on his own con fession to Thursday next, for further inquiries. ROBBERY IN WOOLWICH DOCKYARD.—/I. IV. Ellice, a carpenter belonging to the engineer department in the dock yard, was charged with stealing upwards of one cwt. of brass and iron, the property of the crown.—Mr. Field, Chief Inspector of the Police at the dockyard, deposed that the prisoner was searched on leavirta the dockyard on Tees-, day evening, in consequence of being suspected of having something concealed on his person, and a mahogany bracket and shelf were discovered on his person. This led him to send two constables to search the prisoner's house, where the property in question, consisting of brass and iron nails, hinges, locks, and a variety of articles, were discovered. — The prisoner pleaded in his defence that the articles were in the house at the time of his father's deatk.—The prisoner was committed for trial. POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL—A BRAY Rs- PORTER.—An ex-policeman named IV. Hearn was charged with obtaining 3s. from Mr. Perkins, the landlord of the Rockingham Arms, Hosier-lane, Smithfield. Mr. Perkins had been fined .sa. at this court for having his house open on Sunday morning. The defendant congratulated him upon the small amount of the penalty inflicted, and insinuated himself so thoroughly into the good graces of Mr. Perkins, that the latter treated him to pork chops and ale, and other good things, and ultimately gave him 3c, on his representing that, being a reporter, he could keep the ease out of the newspapers.—Alderman Thomas Wood said there could be no doubt about the fraud, but it was of that peculiar charac ter which exempted the offender from the power of the law. MONEY MARKET. SATURDAY ETININg. After a week of very unusual-;;;;JrcidCZelie ment, and a degree of pressure and anxiety, as regards monetary affairs, such as is seldom witnessed, things have left off comparatively tranquil. No further case of failure in the metropolis reached our knowledge, nor did any, we believe, of the smallest consequence occur; but the determination of the Bank of England to reject, for the present, all applications for loans on the security of stock and exchequer bills has been felt at the stock exchange as a circumstance little favour able to the prices of funded and other national proper ties. Sellers from Lancashire spoke gloomily of the state of credit in that ordinarily stirring part of the country. Business was inactive, and failures, more particularly at Liverpool, appeared to be inevitable. One, coming, however, less under the denomination of a f ailure than that of a " stoppage" has been made known. Messrs. T. and H. Murray, East India mer chants, have suspended their payments. " They show assets," says our Liverpool correspondent, " to the amount of 60s. in the pound, and intend winding up their affairs. Others among the moat respectable firms in the place are described as being reduced to the severest straits. No more need be said here upon the subject, as the revelations of the next day or two must probably develop the result The effects of the pressure is becoming manifest in Dublin. Our correspondent in that city writes as follows : The City was a good deal startled on Thursday by the failure of • house largely engaged in the wort of cattle and live stork—that of Margin and Molloy.

The application made to the Bank of England, yesterday, for discounts, amounted to 2,000,0001., of which 1,000,00 W. is said to have been the sum granted. There was great urgency, and the business of the discount office did not terminate until after five o'clock. Exchequer bills were done during the morning at 10s. discount. Sales were made by a broker who generally operates for the Scotch banks, and be pressed his business upon the market with considerable perseverance. India bonds were less favourably received. The want of the usual facilities in placing them in the recognised quarters caused them to be sold at a decline of 245. discouat. Bills of exchange have, in the meantime, been done at an extravagant rate of discount The consol market fluctuated a good deal in the course of the day, but left off pretty well, from a belief which prevailed that government, in conjunction with the Bank, would devise measures for the more effectual relief of the money market Some engagements entered into at Lloyd's a short time ego were brought to a decision yesterday and. to day. Parties had given a small consideration to receive large amounts should Consols be done at 85, whether for time or money, in all 1847, and a still smaller one should they be done at 84. Business was reported yestbrday at the former, and to-day at the latter, so that the bull speculators were the losers, and had the heavy stake to meet. An influential gentleman, who does much in this way, was supposed to be a great sufferer, but there can be little doubt that he got out of the serape with his accustomed address. Having abundant means and a great versatility of talent in the management of his risks, he has, from all we hear, contrived, at all events, to build himself up a princely fortune. Consols began at 841 for account, went down to' 84, and closed at 84x to I. The final money value was 841 to 1 1 . Exchequer-bills, 10s. to 54. die. In the foreign funds there was no business, and prices have been little quoted. Portuguese Stock, 23 ; Two-and-a-Half per Cent, Dutch, 52; to 3. SNOLIBII FUNDS. !per Ct. Conn Ante., 811 ifl 1 41 Zs.

So.—M. C. Laffitte in the chair. The report, which speaks in mot favourable terms of th e working of th e line since the period of its being opened, commentes by slightly referring to the wry severe trial. of the works ordered by the gowiromert, and which were drawir.g towards their conclusion when the last general meeting ens held. Th" lin^ had Owe then been subjected to a trial of a more satisfactory diameter, that of a very considerable circulation, not only without the sliebtest accident having occurred, but without any of th,rr circumstances having manifested theemelves in the works which are not unusual on newiv-constructed how. The wrote* was ,liqinguished for its great regularity, and the repairs oo the line hail not gone beyond the ordinary care. required to keep every thing in working order. The expenditure tor the construction and establishment of the line bad amounted, on August 31, to 51,029,07 h reoe. The amounts trot in since then would raise that amount by a sum of 3,360,57110 Ic. The resources placed at the dl— posol of the company were 51,000,000 f., out of which 000,000 f. were to be deducted, so retained by the state for caution-money, and 1,009,000 f. aooorded by the town of Havre, which was to be paid only by or. male.. The actual insufficiency of the funds therefore amounted to about 9,000,0001. TM. further demmd was occasioned by a variety of causes—the extreme disregard of anything relating to the money of the company shown by the local authonties in all their demands and requirements—the great cost of land above what the government engineer. had originally miculated—the extreme particularity mani fested by the government authorities in everything relating to the works of art after the fall of the viaduct at Barentin—the net.- sity of purchasing property at Rouen, from Its being found Impossible to tunnel order se much 01 the town MI had been intended—the large sums which the expropriation fury at Havre had awarded needn't the come any—sod the necessity of enlarging the stations to meet the increased traffic expected on the line. On thin latter-named item the report dwells at some length. It 'bows that although the Rouen Company had purchased beforehand a large extent of ground at the two ettremitle. of their line, they had sine been forced to expend upwards of 3,000,0001. In' enlarging its goods nations at these point. The ground at the Batignolle., which in the errt period was worth only H. the metre, had risco to 20f., and even in wow caws 30f. the metre. On the Northern line, notwithstanding that the line had been quite rece - tip opened, a comiderable augmentation had been already called for from the Incr.mw of the traffic. In the Orleans, the Bordeaus, the Lyons, and the Strasburg line. the same Pp. trim had been approved of, as the only one calcuiated to meet the wants of the service. Fearing that the pries of land would be much augmented In • few years the company had deemed it pr udent to purchase a large extent of land at Hone, part of which could be hereafter resold with great adeantage. On that ground very eaten. sine worts bad already been erected to meet the wants of m exten sive and inermaing traffic. The report then Mamma the omen= whether it was neceysary to provide such large acommodatien Is buildings, sheds, quays, to., and shows that any other moms was its- I powitale from the immense amount of goods offered to the Noe at Havre from the very commencement of the working. The aompenybed in fact at aria been ohliimd to refuse a large quant'ty of serabonatie from want of accommodation and storage; and the Mint of the movement might be judged of by the fact that 93,063 lees hid been carried daring the first fire month,. It was also dstegintsed to at once make the intermediate nations of a size anmerote to the working of a great line, which would render onnamary a heavy ulterior expense. The approaching opening of the Dieppe line,elm. was the MUM of woe expense, inasmuch a the board of directors of the Havre tympany felt the necessity of including that line, at lest so far as the traction was concerned, hi the moonnion already exist ing between the Roue, and the Havre line—on condition the Dieppe oompony renounced its faculty of a common passage on the Haws line, the titter company to undertake the traction of the other line r the expense of such co-operation on the pert of the Havre line was to he borne in a proper pereportlon by the Dieppe company without is any way including the Havre company let the fortunes of 'the other line. The share of the itarx company In the copes,e of the rolling stock common to It with the Rouen company had not yet been axed, a longer tune being necessary for that purpow; but the stock Is described as being in fired-rate order. The last cause of the additional expense is declared to be the delay of more than a year in the opening of the Hares line, canoed by the government, alter the accident at &dentin. The report 'then alludes, to the best mode of providing for the additional funds demanded, met drew . that the prevent difficulty of monetary affairs does not permit the bond of director. to propose to the raeetloLlr the moment any proposition on the oubject ; it leaves is the holders to consider whether • loan of 3,u00,000f. ndsht set Is the lost mode of proeceding.

The reel is ihr the five months and ten days during which the line had bees opined mounted to 1,710,938 fr. 70e., amt the expenditure to 1,213,933 9". 110 c; the balance allowed • dividend to be declared of life. 80e. a shore, payable on and after the 7th of October, at the benkim-hoviee of Mars.

M ANCHLSTER, OCT. 2—There has been nothing to in fluence our market for the better since last adeices. The country boners are doing a good and improving basins... but the shipper.. t o whom we moat look for any considerable amendment, have almost suspended operations. With the exception of a few dereriy (ions imitable fur the continent no yarn are in demand, and prices are almost nominal. The same thing may be mid of many ckscriptices of cloth, and buyer., in some era, have obtained seren.eighths printers and India long cloths at nenei, as low a &cure as obtained before the advant con , equent on the short crap of cotton. Maddapoisms, shirting% camtines, velveteens, and fustian', are without Inquiry. Domestics are the only cluths I which have not suffered materinny in price. One additional caw of the depression which prevails Is undoubtedly the heavy fai'irres which hare taken place in London, Glasgow, and in thin neighbour. hood. With the exception of Barley, Currie, and Co, the only Mimes here of any importance since Tuesday are those of Memo.. Render and Milner, with engagements to the amount of 40,04111., and of Mr. 'Award Potter, w hove responsibilities see under 20,0041. They were both yam n dealers, and their moonrise is consequent on that of Mr. James Guest, the spinner. There is likely to be a much increased stoppage of cotton mills, consequent en the attempts to reduce wages. The Ashton millownera have the morning posted in their mills notices that they will make a reduction of 10 per tont in luxes, bringing them down to the amount at which they stood preqiously to the " general holiday" or strike of 1842. It is feared Out the pane:ice with which the operatives have h . therto brooked their sufferings not submit peaceably to this, and the authoriden and police are already on the qui rive. WOOLLENS.—LrEns, OCT. 2.—There was a grood at tendance of merchants at our cloth.halls this morning, but their deal. logs were not very extensive. Their purchases were marked with great ...don in the selection of clothe, and appeared to he chiefly for the purposes of assortment, and only to supply their immediate wants. The mood• disposed of principally consisted of the hue labrics, suit ablelor the winter trade . HARDWARE—BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 2.— Despite the continued terrible derangement of the monetary concerns of the country we have this week to report the rather singular anomaly under such circumstances of a oomiderahle improvement in the dad of trade he re. Each of the last three sailing and steam packets Lars brought hither from America a very hug; r.umber of orden—larger (ashes been represented to us by Mow me:direly engaged is the American trade) than has been known for many year.. Very carder able quantities of goods bare been despatched from here during the lad fortnight, indeed, to diction unusual extern. of Isle, that instances have recurred in which freights oould we be procured for them. Whether the merchants will be diapered to execute at present to their bind extent the orders received Ls a question not altogether mixed with uncertainty; prudential motives may suggest delay for a Waite, until commercial concerto; aflame a more retied aspect, but the facts here vet forth will convey some idea of the rrospects hereabouts of the foreign trade; sad, deo, of the terrible amount of injury arising from tbe.e periodical panics in the money market. As yet none of the large failures have been directly kit In this neighbourhood ; neither do those engaged in the iron trade entertain any apprehensions for the effects of a partial stoppage of railway works. Upon Mc whole, perhaps, looking at the prewnt demand fur that ectinmodity, such a measure would he rathera relief than otherwise. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.—...MAILS. • an DVS.
