The births continue to inerewe rapidly, and the mortality is below the average. The return% therefore present a favourable view of the state of the country. 38,388 marriages were registered in the quarter ending his.e 34. Thin number is less by j2O than the number re gistered in the spring quarter of 181 , 1, but more by 3,777 than the nounbur registered in the spring quarter of 1818. The marriages only amounted to 3 018 in the spring quarter of 1812; they rose to 31.204 in the spring quarter of 1811; to 37.111 en the spring quarter of ; declined to 34,197 in 1817 ; and rose again to 39,1/14 in the spring quarter of 1810. Every marriage is the sstublishment oil a family, and is generally the result of some deliberation ; it is not surprising. therefore, that the prosperity of the country awl the prospects of the people should be expressed pretty accurately by the fluetu oti.orts in the marriage retunts. While the marriages increased rapidly in some parts, they wore stationary or th-criased in others. In lamolim • 0,415 c,uples were married, which exceeds the number m.0rri....1 in the summer of 1848 by 1,108. In Surrey out of Loudon, in Suss , x, Kent, and Berkshire, the marriages were no arly stationary. In Hampshire they decreased.

The bealtb of different parts of the country differs widely, and the difference it greatest in summer. In the 10 stoutnet quarters of 1811-50 the mortality in 306 districts, comprising, when the csnsus was taken, 10,1.6,800; people, was at the rate of 18.15 in 1,000 annually ; whil.. in 117 districts, comprising the chief towns, and 7,795,8 , 41 people. the mortality was at the rate of 2i in 1,000 annually. Thus, at least, 7in every Side:Atm which occur in towns are the result of artificial causes. The mor tality in the quarter coiling September, ISA, was at the rate of 2:1 and 17.93 in 1,000 in the two groups of districts ; it was a little below the aser.ge in the country, anti consi der 114 below the avenme in the towns.

During the three months of July, August, and September, more people have pawed through or re sided temporarily in London, with its 2,361,610 inhabitants, than ever pawed through any city before in the same time. The past eaperienee of lame armies, or of the pilgrimages of the east and of the middle ages might have justified the sinister forebodings which some entertained; but the railways and the improvement in sanitary arrangements base now rendered it possible to move the masses of men about in thousands and millions without danger to the public health, as the event has here proved. The deaths by Tiniest*, though less than in previous summers, were 363- 10 by poison, ri by burns and scalds, 43 by hanging or suf. fotation, 89 by drowning, 156 by fractures and contusions, 21 by wounds, and 9 by other violence.

This decrease is highly gratify ing, as it follows so immediately the recent legislation on the subject. Fractures and contusions were more fatal than in 1849-50, but not more fatal than in 1848. That other form of poisoning, intemperance in the use of alcoholic drinks, seems also to be declining; 18 deaths were ascribed to intemperance, 55 to delirium tremens, in the summer quarter of 1850; while 13 and 35 were refer ed to the sum mans in the summer quarter of 1851.

Summer cholera .as more , fatal than it was in the summer quarters of 1817-8; and more than twice as fatal as it was in the summer of 1860. There has been a progressive increase of diarrhoea since the summer of 1811, when only 228 lemons died of the disease ; ' 627 deaths were referred to typhus, 38 to remittent fever. Typhus was inereasiag at the close of the quarter. Ihe South Eastern division has been lees healthy Dan It, was last year. The mortality was above the average in ter' Medway district (including (b:schemer), the Isle of Thanet (including Margate, Harnspte, and Broadstairs), Dover, Brighton, Worthing, Newport in the Isle of Wight, Hungerford, and Abingdon. Diu:here was prevalent, as well as typhus and scarlatina, in several of the districts. Three cases of cholera were fatal at Newport, Isle of Wight. The South Midland division was generally healthy. The mortality was much below the average in the counties of Hertford, Northampton, Huntingdon, Bedford, Bucking ham, and Cambridge. In Oxfordshire the mortality was above the average in the districts of Theme, Ileadington, and Oxford. In Oxford 19 persons died of scarlatina, 16 of diarrhoea, and 3of typhus. The health of Cambridge has, on the contrary, been unusually good. The deaths were only 103 in the quarter ' • wherena the deaths in the cone epontling quarters of 1817-50 were 135, 137, 133, and 151. Ihe Regi-trar of St. Andrew-the-Oreat, Cambridge, states that " very great improvements have been made in the sanitary arrangement of the town." There was a small local outbreak of Asiatic cholera in Leighton Buzzard. " Three deaths from cholera occurred as follows: At Lona lade, a woman aged 51 years, ' cholera, 24 hours.' She had best front home some time. and had recently returneal from Manchester. At Leighton Boman!, a woman aged 43 years, ' cholera (6 hours) and apoplexy.' The cottages where this case occurred arc below the public road; the hatl premises confined, and drainage had. At Bellington, a woman aged 17 years,' cholera, 64) hours.' Drainage bed; the situation adjoining a farm-yard. It was stated by in fotenant that the carcase of a calf was lying in a barn near the hots, in a putrid state." In the Eastern division the mortality was below the aver age in Essex and Suff ilk, above the average in Norfolk. Diarrhoea prevailed at Leyton, in West plan, Wickforel, and Rayleigh; in Rtchford, fever of the remitting and typhoid type prevails. Ipswich suffered from diarrhoea. ...Lowestoft Irons scarlatina and English cholera. Diarrhoea was fatal in Norwich and Yarmouth; scarlatina in Yar mouth, Fkgg, Walsiegliani, and Docking ; hooping-cough in Downharn. The South Western division, with the excsption of Corn wall, was healthier than usual. In Amesbury and Sails-' Wry the mortality was high. Scarlatina was prevalent in Marl), 'rough, Wilts; typhus in Wareham ' where, in the opinion of medical won, it was aggravated by bad drain age. Scarlatina and diarrhoea prevailed in Plymouth and Stoke Dainarel. Scarlatina was the chief cause of the high mortality in Cornwall. Small lot has also been there. Dysentery is now prevailing in St. lees. In the l'eliZilliCS subdistrict the deaths exceeded the births registered ; and sanitary measures are so grossly neglected by the inhabitants that 37 of their children have died of small-pct, which is still prevailing. In Bath diarrlicea was prevalent "in ....dined dirty localities, where there writ: bed alluvia from IIUISASICCS." In the West Midland division the public health was as good as usual in tilouccaterthire, Herefordshire, and Sheep . shire. One death from cholera occurred in St. Mary Red cliff., Bristol, and one in St. John the Baptist, Gloucester; a low f. vcr and scarlatina were fatal in Stroud ; dysentery prevailed in Allorighton, Shiffnal; and it is stated that the population is decreasing in Shiffnal "from emigration and want of tannin) went in the agricultural districts." Small- pa has nearly disappeared frost Shrewsbury ; one person died of cholera in harden where diarrhoea prevailed, as it did also in bloom, Darlaston, and Dudley. The deaths in Birmingham ware 1,237 ; diarrhoea was rite, end several eases of cholera were registered. The high rate of mortality in this well placed town proves how much wise and timely sanitary measures are neglected, CoveLtry is in a still won. condition; the mortality is higher. In the North Midland olivi-ut the mortality was high in I Non mrhanisliire ; Isiceetershire, Lineolnshire, and Derby shire enjoyed an average degree of health. In the towns of ' Lea:ester and Derby, however, as well as in Nottingham, the mortality was above the average. Diarrhoea mud cholera prevailed in Nottingham and Chesterfield. 'l'll, , North Western Livisiun constantly suffers more from death than the other divisions of England ; the mortality of the summer has been kits than usual. In Manchester the decrease of deaths is considerable. Diarrhoea prevailed iu many districts. The registrars mention 7 eases of cholera in Liverpool, 2 iu Torteth Park, 2 in Wigan, 7 in War- rington, anti 3in Little Bolton. In Itulme, Cliotltun, 411 I children ands adults died without medical assistance. The registrar of Market-street, Manchester, says : " The im proved health, and, it may he added, temper of the people of the district may ustiurially lie item-died to the chymous., of pruviei iiii to, which are not only abundant but also of better quality, because the temptation to adulterate food is not an great. The population is quitting Wile iu Burnley, in search of employment ; tllOl increasing iu Blackburn in consequence of tint erection end enlargement of cotton molls. The Re gistrar of Poulton-le-I.4We says; " The harvest has proved very goal, and the labouring classes have been fully em plojed, which, together with the inestimable blessing of cheap food, I presume has been the cause of the healthi ness of my distract." The Registrar of Se dbergh says: " The deaths have, for upwards of two years, Into much below the Leverage of turner years. I ant at a loss to amount for it otherwise than that the labouring population hate in general ben better employed than in former years, and with the low priee of peovielons that class has been able to procure all the neva swim of life." la Yorkshire the mortality has been slightly above the swift, of ordinary summon. Diarrhoea and summer eleskra prevailed with scarlatina, and in SOlllO parts m ikes:a. The mortality was higher than is usual in Hud dersfield, Leeds, sheffield, and York. A few canes a ahnlera, said to be Asiatic, occurred in Sheffield, and diar- AMA was raccedingly prevalent. The guardians, acting with praiseworthy promptness, supplied the poor with my stical aid and medicines, which diminished the mortality. The mortality in the Northern division was above the av, rage. Ditirfillnli prevailed in several districts; Karla dna, small pox, measles, and dysentery are referred to; sad the registrar of Sedgefield locutions one ease of cholera. Typhus prevails in Beweastle, High Longtown, and bas Men fatal to two parsons. The mortality has been above the average in Merthyr Tydfil and remit/eke ; but Wales and Monmouthshire gent rally have been healthy. The registrar of Llantrisaint, Canter, remarks, .. It is a most singular circumstance that OM 1.060 death happened within this dietect between the 14th of August last and the 11th of September, a space of 27 day , , though the population is nearly 11,000. No move ment of the populatiou has taken place, and no sanitary arrangements hive been effected." THE TINDAL STATUE AT CHELMSFORD. —After weeks of procrastination and expectation delayed, this tine statue is at length erected in the square of Chelmsford, has lug been on Thursday fixed on its pedestal. The name of Lard Chief Justice Tindal, perhaps, needed no such work tor its preserve:ion; it will live and be honoured is our legal annuls while profound knowledge, unswerving up rightness, mid the pure and merciful administration of justice arc respmted iu the law; but Chelmsford may be pardoned the tasteful egotism of thus proclaiming to the I world that he who won his way by the right hand of his own genius to so exalted • station, and adorned that station when he reached it, was born and bred, and educated in its midst. thus holding out a healthful stimulus and example to others, and showing that while efforts are being made to renovate sad revive the fame of other educational iuotitutions in the moat'', its own Gram mar School has not been altogether barren of rich fruit. The statue. which is east in bronze, rests upon a massive pedestal of stone, well designed to show off its fair propor tions. The laird Chief Justice is represented in a sitting posture, as if upon the judgment seat, the head slightly bowed, being expreraive of the deep thought which cha racterised the original when solemnly poising the scales of justice upon some abstruse point on which the life of a fellow-creature or the success of a great cause hung. One hand rests upon a book, the other is slightly advanced, giving at once grace and expression; while the arrangement of the drapery confers a massiveness of outline and • breadth which well adapt the figure for the situation in which it is placed. The statue itself is 5 feet high, and with the pedestal, rises 14 feet G inches from the level of the pure, forming a striking object to traveller through the town, and having an imposing effect when viewed from the front of the Shire-hall or from Duke street. The learned judge is appropriately placed so looking towards the courts of justice, and the front of the pedestal bears the following inscription from the pen of Mr. Justice Talfourd "The Hight honourable Sir Nicolas Conyng ham Tindal, Knight, D.C.L., Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, born at Chelmsford, A.D., 1776, died A.D. 1846. Erected •.D. 1851, to preserve fur all time the image of a judge, whose administration of English law, directed by serene wisdom, animated by puiest lure of justice, endeared by unwearied kindness, and graced by the most lucid style, will be held by his country in undying re membrance.' There is still, we believe, about tiOr. re quired to meet the contingent expenses ; but we cannot per mit ourselves to doubt that the feeling of pride awakened in the town, and the mute appeal of this admirable work of art to the taste of the public, will speedily provide the funds to liquidate this demand.—CAelessford Chivalric. LAMENTABLE CASE OF DROWNING, —On Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock, a distressing ease of drowning took place in the Surrey Canal, near Buck bridge, Peck ham. About the hour above named Mr. W. R. Blackstiv, of Smyran-grove, Peckham, who had been for many yeah engaged as traveller to the well-known house of john Keay, Sons, and Co., importers of wines and spirits, 64, Mark-lane, City. while on his way home, walked into the Surrey Canal, which at that place is in a dangerous and unprotected state. The unfortunate gentleman called out lustily for assistance, and was beard by Mr. George ?fun day, a baker in the Cobourg-road, who gave an instant alarm. The drags were procured without delay, and the body taken on shore in about eight minutes. It was con veyed to the Surrey Canal Tavern close by, and Mr. Leonard, a surgeon in Surrey-place, Old Kent-road, was promptly in attendance. Every means that medical skill could suggest was resorted to to restore animation, but without effect—the vital spark had fled. The body of the dowered remains at the Canal Tavern to await the eon neee inquest. 11111.30 THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1851. Gab, ilittelltgence. SOUTHWARK COUNTY COURT.—YElenume. Prnaa O. flare, De. Ovownt. v.

Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, inasmuch as he had paid the money, and the I 0 U's were kept back from him. Mr. Morrie, instructed by Mr. Davies, appeared for the plaintiff, end Mr. Prescott for the defendant. The plaintiff stated that he had known the defendant some years. and had frequently been in the habit of lend ing him money. In the early part of January, 11150, he cane to him and asked him to lend him 201. He did and received defendant's 1 0 U for 211. 10s, the extra sum being the consideration for the loan. In February he ad vanced hint 101., for which he received another I 0 U for 10!. 10s. Being unable to obtain payment for the I 0 U's lie brought the present action. In cross-examination, witness said he had never received the money at any time. He did not call at defendant's in February and receive 211. 10s. from Mrs. Kennett, neither did lie receive the 101. 10s. at the Elephant and Castle. Ile had never received any money from Mr. Kennett since his bankruptcy. Ile lent Miss Masters, the defendant's sister in-law, 301., which Mr. Games applied for and received. Thomas Stowell, brother to the plaintiff, was next called —lie said he was clerk to Mr. Davies, the attorney. lie served notices on defendant some time ago, but he had nothing to do in the present action. The defendant sent a letter promising to pay the money on the 1 0 U's. The letter proiluced is in defendant's handwriting. Mr. Prescott, for the defendant, contended that the whole transaction on the plaintiff's part was a gross swindle and attempt to extort money unjustly from his client. lie should be able to prove that all the money on the I 0 U's prmluceil in court had been paid, and that the letter re ferred to by last witness was merely promising to pay the plaintif f what MS client owed him prior to his bankruptcy. He called The defendant, who Mated that he kept the Hoop and Grapes public-house, Broadway, Westminster, had known the plaintiff some time, and he frequently came to his house mid enjoyed himself. In January, 11-50, he borrowed 201. of him for our month, and gave his 1 0 U for 21'. 10s. Plaintiff came to his house on the 28th of February, and had dinner in the bar parlour; after which his wife Caine into the PORT and paid plaintiff 211. 10s. in WitllCSs'll presence, when he immediately entered the transaction in his day bunk, which is produced in court. Witness asked Stowell fa the 1 0 U, when he put his hand to his pocket and made an excuse, saying he had left his pocket book at home. Witness borrowed 101. from him afterwards, and gave him nu I 0 U fur 101. 104. He paid that to hint at the Elephant and Castle on the 111th or 19th of March. A clack to Mesas. Calverts, brewers, was with him at the time. lie excused himself of the second 1 0 U, stating that lie had left it at home, and would send both of them to him the next day. The reason of his paying him without receiving the 1 0 U. or an acknowledgment, was that he believed he was an honest man, and would send them to him. lie was Always well treated at his house. end never went about without a handsome present. Witness had borrowed some loom y of Stowell, pi evious to his bankruptcy, but he pre• mised to pay him, and the letter produced related to the money owing previous to his bankruptcy. Ihdenilant's day-book was here put in, and he pointed out the entry of the 211. 10s. on the 28th of February, aineng other items paid on that day. His Honour asked in what part of the Elephant and Castle he paid the 10/. 10s. ? lie replied iii trout of the bar, and lie put the money on smile as he counted it. Mrs. Kennett, defendant's wife, was then sworn—She stated th.ot she had known the plaintiff some time. Remem bered her husband borrowing money of him subsequent to the bankruptcy, which he had been in the habit of doing for noire than two year, to pay duties, her husband being a cab proprietor as well as a publican. In January, 1840, her husband borrowed of the plaintif 201., fur which he gave an IU U for '2ll. 10.4. to be paid in a month. On that day Stowell came and she paid him the money. She asked him for the I U U, when he felt his pocket and said he had left it on his table at home, but he would send it over. My husband made an entry in the day-)wok at the time. Witness lent him a leather bag to put the money in. She counted the money on the table. It was behind the bar, in the bar parlour, that she lend him. Witness urged her husband to send for the I 0 U several times afterwards, but he made excuses and said his house keeper had mislaid it. Alfred Younger, clerk to Mr. Young. an auctioneer, said that on the Ibtti of March, 800, he called at Mr. Kennett's, on business for Messrs. Culverts, the brewers. Whilst there Mrs. Kennett gave her husband some gold and silver, and they bath went to the Elephant and Castle. While lie was standiug in front of the counter a gentleman came in and woke to the defendant. lie then heard some money counted at the back of him. Ile believed the plain tiff to be the person to whom the money was paid. He was certain of it. Mr. Hume haying replied, His Honour said it was the duty of • plaintiff to make his case so clear as to thoroughly convince the court that his claim was just. Under the present contradictory state ments, he did not think I. lout made it sufficiently clear for him to give judgment in his favour. The plaintiff and his wife had both distinctly sworn that the money on the 1 0 U's bad been paid, and unless he could get better evi dence he must believe :heir stgteincuts. Under all the cir cumstances of this Extraordinary case he must nonsuit the been to Mr. Broome's public-house, but he knew nothing I about him. When they were at ?twot the prisoner gave on " I 0 U fur ZOO , . to a person nem Foster, and he gave hint mic also for the same amr ant. Ile believed that this motley was lost in betting upon the odd and even numbers in the race cards, and it had nothing whatever to do with the horses. Foster bad asked hint whether Bishop was " se;oth any thing," and he told hint he believed that he exrcetcd some property. They were both very much in toxicated, and did nut know how the money was lost. Foster came far the money for the 10 U's the next morn ing, and the prisoner gave a bill of exchange for his 1 0 U This bill afterwards got into the possession of Mr. Broome. who sued the prisoner upon it. Witness was submenard as a witness for the defeadmit to prove the circumstances under which the bill was given, but the matter was arranged and the defendant consented to a verdict passing against him. The Recorder inquired who Broome was ? The prosecutor said he was a publican. Mr. Parry asked if he was not something else also, be ginning with a " P." The prosecutor said he did not know. In answer to further questions put to him, he said he had been twice indicted for keeping a brothel, but was acquitted on both occasions, and he said that the first time he was indicted, nu evidence was ufiered against him, and he was told that he had been very ill-used. lie admitted that he had paid the rent and tales when a distress was put in to One of the houses he wascharged with keeping, and that he told the broker the house belonged to him, but he said he only did so ;to oblige a lady whom he hart met at Jersey, and who, in reality, was the keeper of the house. He also said that he had opposed the prisoner in the bankruptcy court; and that a person named Alfred Mortimer Job, who was a money-lender, was also a creditor, and made a large claim against the prisoner's estate, which the prisoner resisted on the ground that it was a fraudulent claim. lie denied that this person was the real prosecutor of the indictment, or that he had ever said that, if Bishop was convicted of per jury, Job would get the whole of his claim allowed. lie had no recollection of having said so, but would not swear positively that be had not. A letter was then put in, in which the prisoner applied to the prosecutor for the duplicates, stating that lie wanted particularly to have them. No answer, it appeared, was sent to this letter for three weeks, rind the prosecutor then told the prisoner that he had left out the tickets for him, and he could have them when he chose to call for them. James Hitchcock, the shopman to Messrs. Vaughan and Co., proved that the prisoner obtained the declarations from him, and that he signed thou in his presence. In answer to a question put by Mr. Parry, the witness said he would not undertake to say that the prisoner did not tell him, iu addition to the usual statement, that the duplicates had been lost or mislaid, that they were fraudu lently denims' from hint. Mr. Clarkson was about to call further evidence, when The Recorder interposed, and said it appeared to him that there was no proof that the defendant had wilfully stated what was false in declaring that the duplicates were lost or mislaid. The evidence upon that point rested en tirely upon the testimony of the prosecutor, and he thought the Jury would hardly like to rely upon the evidence of such a person as he had represented himself to be. Mr. Clarkson said that he tilt the difficulty suggested by his lordship. He had sonic other witnesses to call, but he did not think their evidence would alter the aspect of the Case. The Recorder said that if the jury wished to hear mom of the ease they might do so, but it was clear that unless they could place reliance upon the testimony of the pr.., cuter the prisoner ought not to be convicted. The jury said they were of opinion that they could not place reliance upon the prosecutor's evidence. I'arry begged to be allowed to state, on behalf of the defendant, that he never intended to make any fake state ment with regard to the matter. He ascertained that the duplicates were fraudulently withheld trout him by the prosecutor, and it was upon this ground that he felt himself justified in making the declarations in order that he might regain posseesfut of his property. A verdict of A al guilty was then taken, and the prisoner was ordered to be at once discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Joseph Hillman pleaded guilty to an indictment charging hint with %caw and corrupt perjury. Mr. l'arry, oho appeared for the defendant, urged, in mitigation of punishment, that he had been under the in fluence °la person in whose service he had been for ten ycar4, and who, he said, undoubtedly possessed great power over hint from that circumstance, and had taken advantage of it to inane,: him to commit the offence. The court would remember that the prisoner had been called as a witness for that person, and iu consequence of the evidence that he gave turning out clearly to be false the court had ordered the present indictment to be preferred against him. He trusted, however, that the fact of the prisoner being • very young man, and the position in which he Wail placed, as well as that he had already been two months in prison, would he taken into consideration, as well also that there had been no failure of justice owing to the proceeding of the prisoner, the party for whom he was culled as a witness having been convicted and sentenced to transportation. Mr. Ballantine said lie was also instructed by the pi ose eutors to recommend the defendant to mercy, as they be lieved that he had been made the dupe of a much older and more designing person, who had taken advantage of the influence his position with regard to the defendant gave him over him to induce hint to give false evidence in his favour _ . . . The Recorder, in passing sentence upon the defendant, said that he never remembered a more infamous attempt to defeat justice by intimidation and perjury than had been resorted to by the man for whom lie had been called as a witness. It appeared, however, that he had been in that person's service since he was very young, and there was no doubt that this circumstance had been made t.w• of by his master to induce him to come forward and state in his favour circumstances which he must have known were false. The srime of perjury could not but be looked upon as one of the most serious character, and under ordinary circumstances he always felt it to be his duty to inflict a very• severe sentence, but in the present instance, taking into consideration the peculiar circumstances of the ease, and the fact that he had been alreadj in prison for two months, Le considered that it would be a sufficient punish ment to order him to be further imprisoned for one month, and ho hoped that the present proceeding would be a warning to him in future, and that he would never again attempt to tamper with the course of justice or the sanctity of an oath. Alr.randrr Gordon John Bishop, a young man of gentle manly aopearanee, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of misdemeanour. Mr. Clarkson, in opening the ease, said that the defendant who, he understood, was a clergyman of the church of England, was charged with a misdemeanour under the Pawnbrokers' Act, and another statute haring reference to the same subject, in having unlawfully made a false decla ration before a magistrate upon the subject of som e pro perty that had been pledged by him at the shop of MC,ITI. Vaughan and Cottcrell, pawnbrokers, in the Strand, the declaration implying that he had lest the original duplicates relating to the property. The prosecu- tiou was instituted by a person named Cussitt, who, it appeared, had been on intimate term s w ith th e d e . fendant, and who had advanced him two different sums of money upon the security of the duplicates iu question, and these duplicates were in his possession at the time the defendant made the declaration which was alleged to be false. The effect of the declaration made by the defendant was to enable him to obtain the property from the pawn brokers, and the present charge was, varier these circum stances, preferred by the prosecutor against him. Mr. R. P. Cussitt deposed that he carried on the business of an oilman at lioaton, and he had for some time been acquainted with the defendant, who he believed was a clergyman, and they had had money transactions toge ' ther. In August and September, 18.10, be received from the prisoner two duplicates, one referring to a pistol and case, and tie other to two guns and a case —all of which articles had been pledged at the shop of Messrs. Vaughan and Cotterell, and at the request of the prisoner he hut him money to the amount of five or six pounds upon the security of these duplicates, which it I was understood he was to retain in his possession until the money he had advanced was repaid him. At the time the prisoner male the declarations to the pawnbrokers the du i plicateswaerso7tge f art . lirihis poasessiou, smell defendant must have been aware The prosecutor was subjected to a very severe cross examination by Mr. Puny, and in the course of it he said that he had received other duplicates from the prisoner as security (or money he advanced him, and among them were some that related to pictures. He redeemed one of the pictures and sold it for 181. ; but the prisoner never charged hinkwith haring done so impro perly and without his authority. He believed the prisoner was very respectably connected, and that he expected to come into possession of a considerable fortune. He had been to races twice with the prisoner, but he did not remem bar introducing him to " 31r. Broome" at Ascot. lie had of Milligan. There was no easseeolasent regarding them pools by defendants. Everything was conducted very upsinly. Other witnesses were r bout to he called, hut Mr. Bu ehannan said Mr. Smith was willing to admit that defen dants had purchased the fringe honi stly and in the usual way of business, but that the cl •of the Police Act was imperative, inasmuch as it only rendered it necessary to show that the goods were stolen property to enable the Magistrate to make the order for their restoration. Mr. Norton contended that the goods in question formed a part of the 46 pieces. Alderman Hooper thought it was not satisfactorily proved that the 11 cards were not a portion of the 46 pieces of fringe restored to Mr. Milligan by Mr. Arnold's order, and he should therefore dismiss the summons.

The sittings of the court, for the October adjourned Quarter Session, were resumed this morning at the Guild hall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, be fore Mr. Serjeunt Adams, Assistant Judge ; Mr. Possumll, Captain Hansler, and Mr. Turin r. There were forty•nine CAM, of felony and seven • f misdemeanour for trial. The learned Judge addressed the grand jury upon the nature of their duty. Charles Moss, 32, was indicted for having stolen two leather bells and other articles, value Kt., the property of the Great Western Railway Company. It appeared that a Mrs. Francis arrived at the Padding ton terminus of the Great Western Railway by the half- Inuit ti train on the evening of the kith of September, and the prisoner's wife and children arrived also by the same train. The prisoner was in attendance with a horse and curt to convey hie family home, and having placed in the cart some luggage they had brought with them, he went to the barrier where the passenger's luggage was placed and took therefrom a large bundle containing a quantity of bedding as set forth in the indictment, and went away with it. In consequence of information received, an officer in the company's service went to 25, Tenter-street, Finsbury, where he found the prisoner, and on making a search at his lodgings, No. 8, Wilson-street, he found the bedding, which was identified as that taken from the barrier and be longing to Mrs. Francis. Tho prisoner said he took the bundle in mistake for one his wile had brought with her ; but the evidence of too of the railway . porters showed that no similar articles were left at the ideat i on ; and the various statements made by the prisoner relative to it were not true. The defence was that the prisoner took the property without any felonions intent, but purely in mistake, be lieving that it had been brought by his wife. The learned Judge prefaced his summing up with some observations on the management of the Paddington Station of the Great Western Railway in so far as the delivery of luggage to passengers 1411.4 concerned. lie said it would be a rather difficult matter to point out a plan more calculated to cause confusion, trouble, and disorder, or to lead to ouc person's property being handed over to the wrung parties, than that pursued at the Paddington Station. The com pany would not allow passengers to take care of their own lugggage; they pretended to take care of it for them ; but they did not provide a sufficient number of officers to en sure its safety. Passengers were of all others the persons moat likely to tako care of their luggage, but if the company was determined that they should not, they might at least take the best means of taking care of it themselves. The railway companies on the continent were amongst those who did not think that passengers ought to be entrusted with their own fproperty, but it was well taken care of ; and so certain was luggage on those railways of reaching its destination, that he thought the next time lie travellet on the continent he should have himself made up into a parcel and directed to the place he wished to reach, because it would then, with their arrangements, be next to impossible fur him to get anywhere but to the right place. (A laugh.) The it 'ft estern's arrangements for passengers' luggage were s ry ineffective, and required alteration and amendment. Ile then recapitulated the evi dence, and left the jury to say whether the evidence satisfied them that the prisoner took the articles in mistake or that at the time he took the bundle be had a felonious intent. —.- The foreman of the jury paid they had great doubt in the matter, and gave the prisoner the benefit of it. Gni/ta. 'lt George Morris, 19, was indicted fur stealing a quantity of wearing apparel from the Army and Navy Club-house, where he had been employed as waiter. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to his months' hard labour. William Burgess, 25, who was stated to be the son of a coach-builder, pleaded guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with fraudulently obtaining by lake pretences from William Deuce a quantity of timber, value 521., with intent to cheat him thereof. Mr. Serpent C. Jones appcarcvl for the prosecution. Ile said the prisoner hod got into bad company, and the prose cutor did not press for any severe punishment. The court sentenced hint to three months' hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDUALL Rebecca and Anne livtieZ/4T triage and trimming sellers of Fore.street, were summoned before Alderman Hooper fur unlawfully detaining eleven cards of fringe, value about 5/., the property of John Smith, a fringe manufacturer of Bethnal-green, and alleged to bo a portion of some pro perty ;bout , that had been stolen from his (Mr. Smith's) premises in 1840. Mr. Buchannan appeared for complainant, and Mr. Nor ton fur defendanta,. _ John Smith said—l am a fringe manufacturer ; I have been in business about five years. In May ISiO a very ex- tensive robbery was committed in my premises, and pro perty consisting of 8011 cards of fringe, nngs, watches, and other articles of jewellery, in all value about 1,4001., was taken away. Nearly all the fringe was my own manufac ture, a greater part of which I could identify by &mistake in the warp that I had made in the weaving of it. Shortly after I happened to see some of this fringe in a Mr. Milli gan's Shop window in Spiral-square, and accordingly com municated with Sergeant Tickel, of the S division of metro politan police, and we visited Mr. Milligan's a few days after in company. From what Milligan told me I gave two men of the names of Hurst and Pal mer into custody, and the fringe (46 pieces) was con signed to the care of Sergeant Tickel. The two men were taken before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate at Worship-street Police-court, when they were admitted to bail, and the case was remanded. Hurst forfeited his bail, and his re cognisance, were forthwith estrcated. Palmer was ulti mately discharged, and the 46 pieces of fringe were ordered ,to be given up to Mr. Milligan. The eleven cards I now seek to recover formed a portion of the 800 that were stolen ; but no part, I believe, of the 46 pieces found at Milligan's. Cross-examined by Mr. Norton—l know several persons of the name of Coventry Smith. I was born at Coventry, but am not known by that name. I know Coventry Gaol, and was in it as an apprentice. I have been in there longer than three months. I have been in rather better than twelve months at a time. I was sent from the gaol court there, but it was not far bad behaviour ; it was only for buying a gun. I don't remember being there for anything else, except as an apprentice. I know Sergeant Parker, of the Coventry police. I have been in his company hun ureds of times, but was never in custody far anything con nected with is parcel. When I saw the 11 cards of fringe in defendants' window I communicated with the police at Moor lane station, and Packman, the officer, took posses glen of the goods. Defendants showed me a bill and re ceipt for the 11 cards of fringe, sad said they bought them .\ THIS DAY, Noox. Coarse of Wind. Strength or Snag. State of the Weather. titrolig Uraru.

Payne held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital on the body of William Henderson, age.l:lB years, who lost 111,4 life under the following circum stances :—The deceased was a waggoner, and on Tuesday night last was in charge of his team passing across Paul's Cray common, Kent, on his way home, when a dog-cart, containing two gentlemen, came at a rapid speed in the opposite direction towards London. The night being very dark and the roadway , narrow the near wheels of the cart came in contact with the waggon, when the deceased in trying to climb up the bank slipped and the wheels of his own carriage passed over his right thigh which sustained a compound fracture and severe lacerations. lie was car ried to the Bull Inn, where he was seen by a surgeon, who advised his removal to the Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the limb. e went on favourably at first, but died on Friday from the effects of the injuries and shock to the system. The two persons in the cart were thrown out, and received most extensive in jury. and are not expected to survive. The accident was solely attributable to the narrowness of the roadway. The coroner laid that formerly the sheriff of every county used to hold a court to bear complaints respecting any nui sances, but at the present time there was no tribunal to apply to. In the borough of Southwark a jury met several times yearly at the Town-hall for the purpose referred to, but, he was sorry to say, the system in many places had got into disuse. A witness said that the road was being widened through the interference of Lord Sydney. The jury, after some discussion, returned a verdict of " Acciden tal death." SUPERSTITIONS RESPECTING BEES.—With regard to the custom of informing the bees of a death is the family, and the penalty of omitting to do so, I can add to the proof of it. I find among some memoranda I made more than five-and-twenty . years ago, the following note :—" In Buckinghamshire it is common, on the death of any one of the family, for the nurse to go to all the bee-hives in the garden, and tap gently three times, each time repeating three times these words, 'Little brownie, little brownie, your master's dead; when the bees, beginning to hum, show their consent to remain. Tho omission of this cere mony, it is believed would occasion the loss of the bees by flight, or otherwise."—From Naos and Queries.
