Commander un Dump promen•ed, and Mr. James Hos'e.ns, solicitor, of Guapoet, ceded as prisoner's friend. Commander Von !lone es deposed—The Vulcan was at sea m the night of the 19th July, plunder being officer of the watch. The ship was running before a strong westerly breeze: under sail alone, making between S and 9 knots per boar. and enveloped in a fog. At about nine o'clock a vessel was reported three points on the port bow ; lights were got ready immediately, but she was so close that he• are they were shown she was on the lee quarter. Shortly after this, observing prisoaer walking the quarter deck, 1 salter him, Lieutenant Teem., n, I wish the officer of the watch to limp his watch on the poop during this fog." At tend visited the deck again, and observing Lieutenant Treseacn under the poop, I said, " Surely, Mr. Trevenen, you must have misunderstood the wish 1 expressed just now for y , .0 to keep your watch on the poop ?" Lieutenant Trevenen replied, " I come down to look at the man at the helm, sir." I then gave him an order to keep his watch on the poop, and nut to leave it unless his pretence was require , ! elsesiliere. My reason for giving this order wax that 'he Vulreahaeing high bulwarks tLo best look out for ships i !sharp could be kept from the poop. Being extremely asizioes fur the ship, which bad then been enveloped for three days ina dense log, I visited the deck constantly , an d when off deck sat at the door of my cabin, ready at a moment's notice. I repeatedly cautioned the prisoner of the e.xessity of keeping a good 10-k out. There were look oat then on each bow and at cacti gangway. Shortly be fore 12 o'clock I went up the starboard poop ladder, and on fleeing the poop. to my amasetnent and astonishment I law Lieutenant Treveuen sit•iiig on a small locker that served as a step to the standard compass. He was nearly gieullei an, hie face almost touching his kuees, and asleep. 1 said to bun, " Good God, Mr c iNth is possible," and called him twice or thrice by name, wen;!hell Wit hi n See feet of him. Ile took no notice of my calls, ani I called in a loud voice for the quartermaster of the watch. Lieutenant Trevenen then stood up, when 1 raid to Lim "Mr. 'freemen, you have been sitting down asleep during your watch; go to your cabin sir; consider yourself in arrest, and depend upon it you will do no more duty In this ship." 1 took charge of the wa'ch myself, and retained charge until relieved by the Officer of the middle watch. By the Court—After I tdel Lieutenant Treveaen that he had been sitting down asleep, he said " I was not asleep, sir." I cannot say whether there wan any person else then the prisoner and myself on the poop when I saw him asleep. The Vulcan was employed in carrying troops. There were about 300 souls on board at the tine. When I first called prisoner there were about 40 seamen on deck and 100 sol diers. I was so astonished that ! did not think of calling a witness t r see the prisoner asleep. In the first place I only expressed a wish to prisoner to keep the watch on the poop, hat !lading little attention paid to that 1 gave a distinct order, which prisoner did not dispute ; he obeyed it imme diately. Mr. Ford, mate on board the Vulcan ' deposed to having • made several reports to prisoner of the lathe-outs, and that be did not we him sitting down on either occasion of doing • so. At a quarter to 12 this witness spoke to prisoner, who WY then walking the poop. C wading Finn, quartermaster, deposed to being called on . the poop by . Commander Von llouop a little before 12, having previously heard him repeat the name of Trevenen • three times. Ile heard the ch.r.fe made against the pri soner by the captain, and the foruier's denial of it. This witness deposed to seeing prisoner sitting on the step to the standard compass at a quarter to 12, but could not soy who thee ha wee asleep. The above being the ease for the prosecution, prisoner, having had time allowed him to prepare hts defence, put it i. la it he most positively and solemnly declared, on his word clan officer and a gentlemen, that he hud not for a moment been asleep during his leech on the night in ques tion fir a single minute. Ihe only time be had sat down es the poop was for the purpose of unbuttoning his sheet, and :1 course he stooped in doing so. Prisoner recounted his 'ego, and handed in his certificates, which were same rows, and of the highest character. Ile celled Lieutenant Charles Carnegie, of tne 23rd 11' potent, who . deposed he was military officer of the watch on the night is question, sad wa on the poop from eight to a qu Is twelve. Daring that time prisoner and himself walked together on the p'e almost thtee hours an-I a quarter. The inght was fuggy, and the rain incessant. This witness save some evidence of the condi:is having called prisoner owe from the quarter deck without rwitivieg a reply, iebi.h he accounted for by the wind ; a second call was nep'...l to. As far as witness could joilge prisoner per dorms d his duty as unite, of the watch in the most zealous and able manner. L.. signora Furnesux of the. Vulcan, deposed that rwr net had on all occasions done his duty in the mot vigilant and sealeue manner. His character was that of. a pod .11eer and a perfect gentleman. The covet closed, and on its re-.pelting found the chvge fully proved, and severely repron ended the prisoner, and admonished him TO be more cireuinspect and eigi.ont for the future.

COMPLIMENTARY' RECEPTION OF A RUSSIAN THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1853. -THE ATTEMPTED CONSP.,II4Ci. TO ASSASSI 1 7 E - Lt) - 6 - 1.:i . ; 170-i;,O2Y. Yesterday, at four o'clock, Edouard Raym:nd a as again placed at the bar of the Bow•street police court . , bt• fore Mr. Jardio?, for re- examioation, on the charge of having attemptid to conspire, with divers others, to murder Louis Napoleon, the Emperor of the French. • Mr. Bodkin, who was accompaniid by Mr. Reynolds, the solicitor to the Treasury, and by Mr. Humphreys, solicits r, conducted the pro►ecutioo. Ilia Royal Highnos the Prince de Joicville occupied a seat on the bench. Mr. Bodkin said he appeared, by direction of the Hems- office, to institute a charier, against the prisoner at the her, a native of France, who had been apprehended upon a 11 ar ram granted by his worship on Saturday last. The offence or which be was about to be prosecuted was a mistier i mesnour. The prisoner was charged with an attempt to conspire, in this country, to assassinate the present reign:as Emperor of the French. It was nut necessary to quote cases for the purpose of *hewing that this was an off:ace against tho laws of England. The circumstances of the case were very short. The Prince do Joinviile, who is a resident in this country, received a letter Loa, the pri soner two or thee: months ago, of which he tole no netice at the time, his Royal Highness having regarded it cs an idle and impertinent effusion. That letter was destroyed. Shortly afterwards a second letter was received by the Prince's secretary, ire the same handwriting and of similes purport, but going somewhat more into detail. It was tel lowed by a third letter, in which the writer stated that ho ha I been down to Claremont. Ilis Royal Highness now considered it his duty to send these letters to the Home oilier, and Lord Palmerston, on seeing them, determined to take proceediugs with a view to the discovery and appro. heard= et the ,riaoner. The purport of the letters ad dressed to the Prince was that his llayal llighneee sl outd combine with the writer in aft attempt to assassinate Louis Napoleon, or, by advancing aMU vi :Cl., enable the tri toner to do it himself without assistance. A detective) officer basing been employed by the Commissioners of Police to commence a search for the prisoner, inquiry was made for him at the house from which the letters had been addressed to the Prince. It was ascertained that the pri soner was residing there, but, on suspecting probably the object of the inquiry, he decamped from Linden. Ile was traced and followed to Southampton, and apprehended juet before his intended departure to der: ey. Franc de, Prince do Joinvilte, made the following state ment is Erglish :—I have been far same time ro.iding at Claremont, in Surrey. I have no personal knowledge of the prisoner at the bar. Two or three menthe ago 1 re ceived a letter from a person who signed himself " Hey naud." The writer requested on interview with me. I handed the lever to nay secretary, with instructions to re ply that I did not grant an interview to anyone with 'them I hurl no previous acquaintance. Same time after this I re ceived another letter tram the same person, and subse quently a third ('on the 23rd of June). These letters were handed to my secretary, and the letters now produced, marked A and B, ate the came. They arc in the French language. Auguste Trogoon, the private secretary of his royal high.. ewes, identified the letters as the same which were heeded to him by the prince. The first letter received from the prisoner was destroyed. Alexandre Sesuinauve, a tailor, who Lad resided with the prisoner in the same house, 4, Sherrard-place, Sh d street, Soho, proved that the letters produced were in the handwriting of the prisoner, with whica he was well acquainted. Here the prisoner requested the interpreter to ask the witness if he (prisoner) was not subject to perioditel attacks in the head, which made him at times confused and deranged. Thu witness replied that he had heard him complain of attacks of this description. The original letters were handed to the prisoner for his inspection, and be did not deny havius written them. They were read at length by Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk but the fallowing peeresses, translated, will buflici.atly indi cate their character. In the first letter, after dwelhog up nt the interest which he took in tLe welfare and happi ness of the prince's family, and the feeling of hatred whirs! he entertained, in common with kis oppressed countrymen, towards " Napoleon the Little," who had deprived the prince and his family of their just right to the throne of France, the writer proceeded to say : '• I leave for Pates. help journey is for you, and for you alone. I swear it on the grave of my mother and father, IMy life is a burthen to me. I cannot su;.pert it, my prince. My wife, who is 17 years of age, I wish to place under your protection. I have found an excuse far my voyage, and she consents. But the poor child will be the only victim of my project. Ido not sleep. I must alone take charge of the itifamerus wretch. lie tad his people must perish. It is a terrible thing far me to b 3 an assassin, but it must b:, if I sell my last s►irt. lam now writing in the abeence of my poor wife. I must hasten to BMA. May you read ire my heart the sentime..te I have for you and your dear family. Adieu, my prince. All I desire is that you may soon be upon the throne—making the people happier, and all France hiving you. (Signed) ILSTNAUD DI QUETTEVILLE." In the second letter there is the fallowing passage: " I again take the liberty of writing to you these few lines previous to my departure. I have collected the little money due to me, but it will not sulfite in carrying out my views. I alone undertake to b!ow up the tyrant and his accomplices, and all those around him. I will give my ts.st guarantees for the advances you might make inc. I lease my furniture. I leave my wife, who is polarised of the value of 12,000 francs, besides her venue in a business. I employ several workmen. Tour royal highness, it is money I require, but not a heavy sum. I must have 201., and I give the right to any one to stab me anywhere wherever I may be, if 1 do not change the French government." Sergeant Sanders, of the detective force, repeated the evidence given by him yesterday. Tie letters produced were handed to him by the commissioners of police, with instructions to apprehend the prisoner. Witness found lot ;,e had been residing at 4, Sherrard-place, carrying on the business of a tailor, but he left Linden directly on ascer taining that inquiries were being made about him. Witness totted that he had gone to Southampton, and apprehended him there on Sunday night. Ile admitted having written the letters, and espreased his regret at having done as. Mr. Jardine directed the interpreter to administer the usual caution required by the English law, and to ask if he then wished to say anything in answer to the charge. The prisoner said that he had been for • long time suffer ing from ill health, which occasionally afticted his intellects. tie had been an inmate of. the hospital at Southampton, where his hair was partly shaved off. Under these circum stances, and for the sake of his wife, he implored the mercy and consideration of the court. Mi. Jardine committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial, offering to take bail—himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each—if procurable. CITY OF LONDON MUNICIPAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. A meeting of this newly formed body, whose object is sufficiently expressed by its title, was held lest evening, at Farringdon•hall, Snow-hill, for the adoption of m es for the organisation of the body. Mr. J. ACIAND, the secretary pro fens., referred to the peeps taken for forming the oswctauun. He observed, that when the Municipal Reform Bill passed, the corpora tion of London had been purposely exempted, though there then existed numerous abuses, which had since become worse. (Hear, hear.) lie did not believe the corporation was corrupt, but it was incompetent, end that was quite as mischievous. It was composed of men comparatively uninfluential. He had taken the initiative in this matter, and the result justified him in doing so. Up to this time 761 members of this embryo association had been enrolled. (clear, hear.) Though considerable, this number was not sufficient to command the necessary influence. Of the 764 members, many occupied a superior positiim in the city, including the leading houses in the silk, Manchester, calico, type founding, and other large trades. The corporation bad take. a very false and foolish step in prosecuting the non-freemen; it was like destroying the goose that lay golden eggs. But they did not evtu know wbo were freemen. Ammo the 4,032 persons sum moned to take up their freedom, there were scores who were slued) , tree. The fact era they had no accurate re gister of the freemen. They summoned one gentlemen who had served the office of sheriff a few years back— (leughter)—Mr. Kinnaird, of Upper Thames-street. This proved the incompetence of the tasty. it was also extra vagant. On a house in that ward, close to the city boun dary, the texts were double what they were on en ex actly similar bons* in the county of Middlesex. (Hear, hear.) The government had at last issued . commission of inquiry ; and the corporate officeis were re quired to give all the information in their power. But some one ought to be heard on the other side. Alderman Win and GUILT aldermen had boasted largely, by anticipation, that the commissioners would find nothing wrong. The corporation consisted of a privileged cites, all others were excluded. In 18.33, in the days of tree trade, this privileged class claimed to tat the majority of the traders, and nod issued 4,032 summon►es. Mr. WEWIITNIAN was voted into the chair. Mr. ACIAND proposed a resolution declaring the objects of the Association as stated above. Mr. Tabu seconded the resolution, which was mini .' windy adopted ; anal the meeting Nn7^.s then adjouttled tort' few days. PRINCESS. Yesterday, the Grated Duchess Olga, daughter of the Emperor of Russia, and ha consort, the Prince Royal of Wurtembcrg, arrived at Woolwich in her Majesty'. steamer Vivid. They were received at the royal Dockyard by Baron Drunnow, the Russian Ambassador at this court ; Commodore Superintendent H. Eden, Colonel E. C. Whin- yetis, C. 8., K.C.11., commander of the garrison, Brigade Major Birgharo, and Captaira Riddell, Royal Artillery, Flag Lieutenant G. E. K. Dire, of the Fiagard flag ship, and other officers of the establishment. The interval of ground between the steamer and the carriage of the Princess was covered with green baize. A royal salute was fired en her Imperial Iligheriss stepping on shore, from a field battery of tho Royal Artillery stationed in the Dick. yard, and a guard of honour, consisting of 100 rank and file of the Woolwich division of ltiyal Mariews, with the baud and colours of the corps, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Julhffe, with Captain Bider and Lieutenants Free land, Delacombe, and Lane, presented aruu, the band playing the National Anthem. EARL FITZWILLIAM AND TILE ELECTIONS FUR PETERBOROUGIL 'tinned of witne.ses reopecting the Peterborough Yesterday the the exam election. J. Eiger, grocer, said that on the occasion of being settled with lately by Mr. Gibbs, one of Lord Fitzlliam's stewards, for goods supplied at Milton, Gibbs told him he had re ceived orders not to deal with him again. Witness had voted for Whalley, and told Gibbs that even if he was a tenant of the earl's he would not vote against his own will, to which Gibbs rejoined, "I wish I had the management of the houses hero. I would see if the tenants voted against Milton. I consider those who are in his lordship's houses are as much his servants as I am." Witness's custom at Milton was quite lost. Sarah Chapple said she applied to Mr. C. Simpson, Lsrd Fitswilliam's steward, in March Ism, for a house, on the understanding that her brother should be the nominal t zsat, and received a letter from Mr. Simpson, stating " he regretted that th. proposition wit unavailable, ac the veto of a non-resident could not Feasibly be scented ; and this portion of his lorda:iip's property having at all times commanded a vote, it is of the utmost consequen cc to ex isting privileges that it should not be diminished." Mr. Charles Simpson, steward to Earl Fitswilliam's . , Peterborough property, said Lord Fitzwilliam had 300 1 tenants in Peterborough, but could not say whether 200 of them were voters out of the total constituency of 500. He acknowledged that the letter to Mrs. Chapple was in his handwriting, and that the notices to quit and raise rents were in pursuance of instructions from his lordship, who acted in the way usual with landlords in the regulation sad adjustment of their property. The constituency had fallen below 600, and witneso's object in letting Lis lordship's houses was to endeavour to keep it up to that mark, end to make the occupants to command a vote at elections. By the Hon. Chairman —The rents were raised in con fidential of kaa fide improvements. No one had the management of the property but himself, and he was Lot aware that tte condition precedent upon letting a house wee the giving a vote fur the Milton interest. Had nevar held out threats to maws, either as regarded their •oting or abstaining from voting ; nor had this ever been done with his authority, or under the promise of repairs. C.4.UBRIDGE BRIBERY COALVISSION.-MORE DISCLOSURES. Yesterday the appointed to inquire into the existence of corrupt practices at elections fur Cam bridge resumed their sitting. Charles Clarke deposed that he was a gunsmith in busi nese at Cambridge. In 1810, at the election between Grant and Starkie, was despatched to Norwich by Mitchell to pro cure the services of one Quinton, alias Thompson, 4 bribery agent, and that 3501. passed through his hands to Quinton, to be used in bribing the electors, and witness himself laid out 501. in paying the rates of defaulters, and personally bribing " Nummer " Newman, who trapped him and in formed spinet him, and witness had to fly the town in eon sequence. That 4001. came from the Conservative Com mute*, and was left at witness's house. Witness went abroad, by arrangement, and remained there two year, during which period between 2001. and 3001. was forwarded him by the conservative party in Cambridge. J. Goldsmith, formerly a publican of Cambridge, said that on the day of the election in 1843, he and a man named Shears, were directed by Gilbert, a butcher, to go opposite Use town gaol and they would are a man in a cap and gown, they were to ask if his name was Brown, and if he s :id yes, they were to tell him their names. All this hap pened assisted, and Mr. Brown," turned round and gave Shears betwixt two and three hundred nice new sovereigns done up in fifties, and walktd otr. Witness invited such men as he knew to be in the market" to a dinner, and finally gave them 101. each to go and vote for the conserva tives, but charged the party 121. 10e. a man, and divided the excess of 21. 10s. a head between himoili and Shearn. At other elections witness had been engaged, both sides, in kidnapping or watching voters, and described with some humour some of the tricks to which he had resorted to carry out his purpose. Plum°Nr.—Mr. J. Brett arrived at Turin on the 30th ult , on bia way to Li Spesia, where he is to com mence operations for laying down the submarine telegrarb. to Sardinia and Algeria. SERIOUS OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. The first serious breach of the peace arising out of turnouts in the manufacturing districts occurred on Tues day caning, at the works of Meyers. James Crompton and Cs., Ayers, Pendleton, Manchester. These works were broken into on Tuesday evening by 70 or 80 operatives, who beat all the hands found at work, and maltreated Mr. Crompton, the senior partner of the firm, a geettleman up wards of 60 years old, to such an eztent that his life is placed in considerable danger. The strike of the dyers and finishers of fustian. took place about a month ago, and wall mentioned at the time in the Ezpress, but no violence was anticipated, because the leaders of the movement were known to counsel the utmost forbearance. The turnouts, however, where the masters had succeeded in getting ope ratives so supply their place, have followed the dangerous practice of placieg ss piequete " near all such worke, and a picquet has been stationed for some weeks past in a positian commanding the entrance to Messrs. Crompton and Co.'s works. This pic quet held frequent conference with the new bends, and did all they could to persuade them to lea's work. Their presetice, however peaceably disposed they might be, was a Cause of great irritation to the new workpeople, who ebal lenged some of them to light. Gradually the i.l tecling on both sides became more intense ; and on Tuesday the turn outs assembled in the neighbourhood of Messrs. Cromp tote'. works, and eluting the greater portion of the forenoon employed themselves in throwing stones on to the roofs of the buildings and into the yard. Mr. James Cromptoa was struck by one of then stone's, and received a severe cut l ea the fore:heed. Between half-past five and six u'eleck the number of men assembled round the works had lucre:end ; and about that time they, to the number of from 70 to SO, made an attack upon the premises. Some of them entered the yard by the gate in Ford-lane, while others messed the waste ground in that lane, passed over Mr. Crompton's garden, which lies between it and the works, stud breaking through a hedge, thus obtained access into the yard. Some of these men had with them stout sticks or staves, reed others, upon entering the yard, armed themselves with pieces of logwood which were lying about. Thus prepared, they, before the men at work knew of their approach, rushed iuto the dychouse, and began to beat all who acre at wore its it. Others of their number rushed lute the ether party of their premises, and acted in a similar manner to thew alto were engaged in them. The attack was se sudden that the workmen could offer but little resis tance to their assailants, by whom they were most violently and cruelly beaten. They, however, defended themselves as well as they could, and shouted lustily for assistance. At tracted by the noise, two officers of the county constabulary force wtio were on duty in the neighbourhood pro ceeded t 3 the works, and their presence somewhat checked the violence of the turn-outs. At this time Mr. Crompton was on his knees in the yard, and six fellows were laying on him most unmercifully with staves and other weapons. Some of them carried staves resembling these used by policemen, attached by a thong to the wrist of the right hand. The two policemen, Sergeant Barlow, and Police-constable Mansfield, at the order of Sir Blkanah Armitage, county miteistrate, and his son, who had been attracted to the spot by intelligence of the violence going on, seized two of the men assaulting Mr. Crompton, but the ceminquents were itutueeiately reamed. Mr. Crompton, however, hut time to escape and hide in an out-huuse. The two policemen, unable to cope with so many armed men, tried now to persuade them to leave the premises, but presently they heard a cry of "we've got him again," and had to resort to the use of their truncheons to rescue Mr. Crompton a second time from his cowardly assailants. The mob of turnouts remained on the premises from to 30 minutes, and then mode off. As they were leaving Ssrgeant Barlow reergaised a man named William Reyle as one of the six he bad seen attack me Mr. Crompton eu the tint instance, and after chasing Lim cbeut lid yards, he and Mensfield succeeded in se curing him. It was understood that the rutlians made off in consequence of information that Mr. Superintendent Durie, with a reinforcement of police, was on his way to the premises, and that gentleman actually arrived with ten or twelve constables soon afterwards. When the attack was made, Mr. James Crompton was in au outhouse which is at th e back of the premises, almost close to the hedge bounding the garden. A number of the men who came over this hedge, amongst whom was Hoyle, broke down the door, awl having thus got at Mr. Crompton they beat him severely on the head and body with sticks and other weapons. lie received three severe cuts on his head and face front which the blood flowed freely, und also many severe wounds on different parts of the body. Fortunately he sustained Ito fractare. Mr. Hubert Crompton, nephew of Mr. James Crompton, was on the premises at thu time the attack wee made, and ha attempted to escape over the roofs of some of the buildings. He was, however, disco vered, and was pelted with bricks and stones ; and when he eleeceeseed to the ground, Ito was surrounded by a number of men who beat him severely. lie was much cut and bruised, hut not desegerourey Burt. One of the workmen, named Henry Trelford, escaped through a window into the garden, tint there he w.ss surrounded and beaten by a num ber of men. Nine other men were more or less severely injured, some having received severe cuts on the heads, while other: were a good deal bruised abcut the arms and shoulders. The wily object of the assailants nppeared to be to ihtliet personal chastisement upon Messrs. Crompton and their min ; for they made no attempt to damage acy pr,nierty. Mr. William Roberts, one of the members c f the Arm, was in Manchester at the time the imam took place, and he diu out return until after the termination of the affray. Yesterday morning Royle was brought before Mr. Traf ford and Mr. llibb rt Wanklyn, comity magistrates, at the New 11.3 ditty Court-house, Saltotd, fur ez.eminatiou. On behalf of the Dyers' Trades Union, Mr. Roberts, attorney, was present to defend the prisoner. Pulice-sergeent Barlow described the riot, and the cir cumstances under which the prisoner was taken, as above stated; and said that he and Mansfield were on duty near the weeks when the attack commenced. They had received no previous ineintatiou tbat a disturbance was contemplated, and were attracted to Messrs. Crempten's premises by see ing a rushed' people in that direction. He seined one of the mess who were beating Mr. Crompton, and Mansfield seized another, but a blow from a stick on the he ed knocked elanstieed'a hat over his epee, and his prisoner was rescued. At the saute moment vita as was keocked down, and his prisoner was also rescued. They were also struck, and • good deal hurt in the affray, with bricks thrown at them. One of the men beating Mr. Crompton bad a piece of iron a yard long, and another used a cart leg. Mr. Trafford—ls this the only mats taken? Sergeant Barlow said this was the only man apprehended on the spot. There were only two constables, and they were overpowered, with 70 or SO men to contend against. They had the names of six or seven otter offenders, who would be apprehended. Mr. Trafford—ls Mr. Crompton here ? Superintendent Dufie—l have seen Mr. Crompton this morning, but he is too ill even to lift his head from his pillow, to severely have these men beaten him. A surgeon was expected, to certify these facts to the court. Mr. Roberts, attorney, said he was instructed that the prisoner was present at the affray, but in reality took nu part in it. Mr. Trafford (to the police)—Did any one see this man using 'rule:nee i Sergeant Barlow—l saw him strike Mr. Crompton when that gentleman was on his knees. Mr. Roberts—l ant told that it can be shown that he did not. But the case will have to be remanded, rend I pre sume yen will have no otrje mien to take ? Mr. Trufford—le.deed I shall not take bail, with a serious charge like this hanging over the man's head. Mr. ltuberts—lt he was a thief you would take bail under the like circumstances of doubt, and I really don't see why these pour fellows, who are much to be pitied, should be prelude:a by the feelings always excited against turn-outs. are committee had done all they could to pre vent this breach of the peace, end regard it with deep sorrow. Mr. Trafford—What committee? We know no com mittee here. Itoberts—We arc prepared to give large bail. Mr. Trefferd—l Idled certainly not take: bail to any amount. If Mr. Crumptou should be well enough to ap pear and give evidence, I shall endeavour to get the ciao disposed of so filet the prisoner may be tried at the ay preaching assizes, but I cannot do more. Here Mr. Heywood, surgeon, who had attended Mr. Crompton, entered the court. In answer to questions, he said Mr. Crompton was confined to his bed in eurenquerice of very serious wounds of the scalp, and would net be able to leave his chamber, under the most favourable circum stances, in less than a week. He had four extensive lacers teens of the scalp, a wound across the templet, and was much bruised about the shoulders and body. The prisoner was then remanded till Moods' , next.

BAL MASQUE AT CREAK/ANIL — The second Lai moup4.2 of the season at this popular resort took place last night. Early in the evening the company was, as usual uu (welt occasions, eitretucly thin, but Wore midnight the garden was thronged with dancers and promenaders. The costumes presented little novelty, but there was no lack tit extravagant burlesqu, or of practical jokes, to give effect to the dresses. Considerable amusement was created by the appearance tit a couple tit isAlkuuns—ui cs,urst., of a nage species—one of whom ascended a treo with nimost as much dexterity as the real animal, playing a number of freaks in , the branches, and giving oral imitations of the original; 6 and a low suminersets on the ground betrayed performers of the circus tinder the hairy exterior. THE SUICIDE IN JLilerLEB6 NE. Yesterday Mr. Wakley resumed, at the Marylt. bone workhouse, the inquest relative to the death of Mary Anne B il, aged 21, and her infant female child, the former having committed suicide by throwing herself from a bridge in the Grove-end-road, Lieson-grove, in the Re gent's Canal, and the latter having been brought into the world hy the Cesarisus operation. A soldier baying proved that the deceased voluntarily jumped into the canal, Mr. Edward Head, surgeon, of the Park•road, said he was the first medical man who saw deceased. About 10 o'clock he was called, and found her lying on the further bunk of the CARO. having just been taken out of the water. Mr. Allen and Mr. Fuller, two other medical men, fol lowed. They could not say if she was then dead, but they requested the polke immediately ti convey her to the Matylebone Baths sod Washbowl.s at the end of Lialon grove, so that deceased might have the advantage of a warm bath, and they did so, and h • and Mr. Allen and Mr. Fuller accompanied her. Arriving at the baths and waelihouses the gas vc:s still lighted, hut the gates were closed. 'they knocked and demanded ailersisaun ot tie superintendi IP, Mr. Foot, but he refused to admit them, although told there was a woman whose life depended on a hut bath immediately. An altercation took place, and Mr. Atltn, iu the heat of excitement at Mr. gout's apparent waist of humanity, called him • scoundrel for not open ing the door. Mr. Allen repeated the knock,which Impiety had the t ifect of causing the door to te opened. Even this a bath Is.'s fur some time 'Onset' to the medical men by the superintendent and his se ile,bot ultimately the deceased woman was got into a hot hens, and after being there about ten minutes witness and his profied . inal colleagues re solved on the Cie arian ist e er..tion, t.) save the life of the child of which she was pregnant, and it was at once acts upon and the child taken awcy teem its mother. By this time the water in the bath was found oveittewing, and the medical men were standing up to their antes in water; and it was their convietion that the cold water hail been turned on purposely. When the child was removed ba lips and arms were seen to move, and they called for is hut bath far it, but it 11.11 again ri fused to Thera, and is was -laced back again into the body of the intither until one could be procured. It was refused several times. We said tle.t the child was alive, and that if it dud we shculd hold them reepeusible. Mrs. Foot t..en turned on hot water, so hot that wittiest called out that she would weld his hands, and she replied "a good job if it did." The child wes ultimate ly got into • hot bath, but hot until it was too late, although ariticial respiration was resorted to. After all their drafts were useless they endeavoured to re trate their steps out of the baths and wash-houses, end the g a s being put out they asked for a light, and were told by Mrs. Foot to find their way out as they had fauna their way its. Mr. Head added that Foot, the superintendent, cli.orgsd the medical melt and the police with being drunk. lie could not say that had they had the but bath earlier they nimbi have saved the woman's lite, hut his lowers siren was that the child might have bet n saved. Mr. 1) avid John Allen and Mr. Fader, the two other surgeons in the main corroborated the evideace of Mr. aild said they were kept at the doors tt a tuiutot s. Mr. E. S. Foot, superin•endcat cf the baths, complained that the surgeon treated him and his wife as the commonest servants ; he swore that the turning ou of the cold water was an accident. Mr. Squires, surgeon, of Mary'stone Infirmary, deposed that lie had made a peat MO) tem examination of the bothes. The Cte-arian section bad been executed in a proper proles• siunel manner. Tne death of the young woman was eau,ed by suit cation, and not by the section. He had applied the proper tests, and. lie believed that the child bad lived and breath , d. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict to the effect:—" That the deceased Mary Anne Barnard de , troycd herself by drowning, but there was no evidence as to her state of mind. That the deceased child was removed from the mother, but whether the child lived after such re moval was not proved." The jury begged to add their high approval of the conduct of the medical men, sod their regret at the obstructions they received in the performance of their duty at the St. Marylebone Baths and Washhouses. EAST INDIA HOUSE. ADJOURNED MEETING. The proceedings of the adjourned court were re sumed yesterday, at the usual hour, Itt wizt. chairman of directors, presiding. The court was fully at tended. The minutes of the former court hating been read, The CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proctedii.gs by stating that Mr. Holt Mackenzie bad possession of the chair. lie at the saute time took the opportunity of stating that the minute which bail been read at the List meeting had beau carried in the Court of Directors nem. con. . --....- _ Mt. M. MACKZSZIE then rose to move certain resolutions, the effect of which was to postpone further discussion uutil the bill hail been finally disposed of by the House of Lords, and to call on the directors to prepare a petition embody ing the views of the court on certain point., namely, the reduction in the number of directors, the objectionable mode of election, the nomination, and the denial:of any right to; the secret committee to advise the minister of the crown. The resolutions further declared the opinion of the court that the number of dace ors should not be less than 24, all to ho sleeted, but of whom sic might retire annually, and expresstd a strong opinion against nomination. The resolutions, in conclmion, sug gestul that loci:dation should be ptstponed. Sir E Cot.xnaooxr. seconded the resolutions. Dr. LouIN objected to entrusting their petition to the direct on, who had already assented unanimously to the bill. It would be throwing themselves into the hands of the PM listinen (Cheers.) Mr. Hems complained of the covert intentions of go vernment. He had not an n the emended bill, and there fore thasigle. that the resolution of the directors to adopt it was at least premature. The hon. minter concluded by recommending the adoption of a petition, praying the house to take measures to preserve the efficiency of the Court of Directors, and to amend the clauses providing for nominas tion by the crown." !dr. AYRION said he had waited with some curiosity for the explanation of the directors, as to the reasons which had induced them to accept the government bill. The CHAIRMAN dulled that the court approved of the bill, and quoted the minute to show that the court regretted the faults of the bill, and merely expressed an intention to defer to the wisdom of parliament. The Cita' lI.NIAN ultimately put the adoption of the petition,, which was carried unanimously, and the proceedings terms nated. CLERICAL. PREFEKMENTS. The Rev. G. Brown.

At the ni urket house in John's-street, the • nders of " tripe and pudding" rushed forth in demoniac style, with intent to murder the Rev.

INTE,TIGATION AT Trill; POLICE couirr. So the twitter ended for the night, and mo:n ing the female and a young man were brought before the city magistrates. The court was &roily thronged, and the rev. gentlemen named, with two other missionaries, were in attendance. After calling on the case, the magistrates thecae.: the policeman (Wilson) to be sworn, and he detio,sii to the unprecedsnted eleitement which prevai!rd —the stone throwing, and narrow escape the Ike. Mr. Lewis had from being murdered. He identified the female a+ having struck the rev. genComan with a atone in the bosh. This witness was etoss-examiaed by Mr. O'Donnell, who appeared for the ds fence. The lt,v. Mr. Lewis was next sworn—lle stated he was from Scotland, and descritnil the nature of the attack upon him, without any provocition, not having preached in the streete, but merely went out to seek alter his friend, whom he had heard was in danger; he addcu he did not with to have the female punisLeci, as the was induced to act as she did, oscine to the excitem , tit which pr.:Tails d. The young man arrested was next put forward, but Con stable /Cash only proved that he saw the clergyman's umbrella in the prisoner's band. Mr. O'Donnell—Whether the bench consider the assault by the female proved or not, I feel bound to say that the circumstances of the case would almost justify the conduct of the populace upon this occesion, and I niti,t protest against the system thus organised to distula the public peace. sl acv say they come to evangelise the benighted Irish, but I would recommend them to turn their attention to the state of things existing at home. Bev. Mr. Leal. (warmly)—lf you were in Scotland you would not be hindered from speaking a word—we want nothing but what we would get in Scotland. Mr. O'Donnell—Yes, when you turned the Sisters of Mercy out of Glasgow. Bev. Mr. Lewis—You want to browbeat the magistrate by your talk. Bench—Your ob , ervation is quite improper. Mr. O'Don nell is professionally engaged to defend a client, and God forbid that in this country a man should be di.b.iered the liberty of speech. The Bench then inquired ere was any one in (curt to depose that the ',mei edings which tuck place woe calcu lated to lead to a breach of the peace. Mr. O'Donnell called Mr. Patrick A. 'Wolin, of Dread- who swore that if the gentleman he saw hail not per sisted in preaching in the streets there would not have been any disturbance. Bench—Can the police give us any information as to the public peace being endaneered ? Major Caldwell, county inspector, replied ha could. As regards the nature of his business, with that (said he-) Uwee nothing to do, but 1 am sure if the proceeding is repeated, there will be great danger to the peace of the cite. I seldom witne sed such excitement in a mob a. that which was ex hibited last night, and were it not that these gentlemen were taken under the protection of the police they would in all probability have been killed. The ;melee found great difficulty in bringing them through the streets, UM: I had to turn out all the men in barrack to suppress the disturb ance. I remained with them on duty for near two hours, and should a recurrence take place it would require far mare than the city police force to put it down. Mr. (Julien asked the bench if there was not a law for the sappression of mob , ? Beach—There is a law to prevent anr proceeding calcu lated to disturb the peace. Mayor—We have now heard enough to guide the bench in the course they will pursue, and if those gentlemen con ter with us in the Grand Jury room, we will tell them our opinion as regards the course they ought to pursue. There is no evidence against the man brought up by Nash, but as regards the female an assault is proved. Let her be bound in her own recognisance to appear here on Friday for judg ment. The magistrates withdrew to the Grand Jury room, where, we understand, it was represented to the missiona ries that they ought not, nor could not with safety to their lives, preach in the open streets ; that, as the populati is chiefly catholic, their doing so would be diet:lave to the members of that persuasion. Religious discord would spring up and lead to bad consequences. The rev. gentlemen at once submitted to the opinion of the magistrates, promised to adhere to their advice, :ld intimated they would make arratgements for preaching within doors. The Rev. W. N. Lupton, resident preacher of the Wesley Chapel, George-street, was in court, and informs d the magistrates that he had been twice struck with stones in the street by the mob, when proceeding the same evening to the house of Mr. Wm. Cochrane, George-street, though not having bad any connexion with the gentlemen in question; and that, from what he witnessed, he wecd not wish to give the use of his house of worship to thu rev. gen tlemen from London. The matter then dropped, and the clergymen left the court. LIFE ASSURANCE.
