r f CONVENTION DE tWERN HER MAJEWIT AND TIM UNI'l El) STATES OV AMERICA, FOIL 'IIIE SETTLEMENT OF OU rSTANDIIiti CLAIMS by A NIXED COMMISSION. A Contention, of which the following is the first anode, signed on the ird of February, and ratified in Lon don on the 26th of July in the current year, we/ pre eante4 to parliament a few dens before the session tertian sated. We cannot eonsph-nent its negotiators en the idea of allowing each COMM/Alollef to name his at biter, and determine in every ease by lot to which of them it is to be referred. Bach might nominate a notorious partisan, and it would thus depend on • throw of the dice which wa the decision was to go : the high contracting parties agree that all claims on tit , part of eirporations, companies, or private indivi duals, 'ejecta of her Britannic Majesty, upon tin Uovernment cf the United &ate., and ell claims on th. part of corporations, companies, or private indisiduals, eitisuia of the United States, upen the goys rement of h. r Britannic Majesty, which may have been presented to either government for its interposition with the other since the signature of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship eon eluded between terent Britain and the United States of America at Cinent, on the 24th of December, 1814, and itch yet reeiainisl unsettled, as well as any other such claims which may he presented wi.hin the time specified in Article Il 1. hereinafter, shall be referred to two commis sioners, to be appointed in the following , that is to any . on. commissioner shall be named by her Britannic Majesty, and one by the President of tho United States. In case of the death, absence. or incapacity of cit. er corn. missioner, or in the event of either commissioner omitting or teasing to act a. such, her Britannic Majesty, or the President of the United States, respectively, shall forth with name another person to act as commissioner in the place or wail of the commi-sioner originally named. I to commissioners so named shall meet at London at the earliest convenient period after they shall have been re spectively named, and chat', before proceeding to any busi ness, make and subscribe a solemn declaration that they will impartially and carefully ezarnifie and decide, to the brat of their judgment, and according to justice and equity, without fear, favour, or affection to their own country, upon all such claims as shall be laid before them on the part of the governments of her Britannic Majesty and of the United States respectively ; and such decline; Lon shall he entered on the record of their proceedings. The commissioner, shell thee, and before proceeding to any other business, name some third person to act as an' arbitrator or umpire in any case or MIN on which they may themselves differ in opinion. If they should nut be able to agree upon the name of such third person, they shall each name • person ; end in each and every case 111 which the commissioners may differ in opinion as to the decision which they ought to give, it shall be de termined by lot which of the two persons so named shall be the arbitrator or umpire in that particular case. The person or persons so to be chosen to be arbitrator or umpire shall, before proceeding to act as such in any case, make and subscribe a solemn declaration, in a form similar to that which shall already have been made and subscribed by the commissioners, which shall be entered on the record of their proceedings. In the event of the dea•li, absence, or incapcity of such person or persons, or of his or their omitting, or declining, or ceasing to act as such arbitrator or umpire, another and different person shall be named as aforesaid to act as such arbitrator it umpire in the place and stead of the person so originally named as aforesaid, and shall make and subscribe such declaration as afore said. WHAT BECOMES OP THE INCREASED IrACES. Wren the British Ilearerrie Berl: r.) Employers frequently complain that the increased earnings of their workpeople, during periods of pros perity, are chiefly spent in drinking and. debauchery ; many of them even arm that, as a general ride, the working clones are more comfortable wh.a their earnings are mode. rate, than when they are receiving eery high wages. The best answer to this account of the industrial clues is, to compare their condition during the last year or two, in which the average sum earned pie head, throughout the Unitea Kingdom, has been higher than ever was known before, with their condition during any period of bad trade, r dated wages, and scarcity of employment. In order to make the comparison fairly and satisfac torily, we must look, not merely at some particular factory or some isolated trade, bat at the way in which the collective people of England spend their hard-earned wages. 18 bat is tree with regard to an individual, is equally true with regard to a nation. If • man who ear OS flre shillings a week more in 1852 than he did in 1842, hi sees to spend the greater part of that additional sem en tea, soiree, sugar, butter, cheese, and other articles of food, we naturally conclude that be must have been pinched in his circumstances before, and that he and his family are now somewhat comfortable. It is precisely the same with the nation at large. In 1852, Great Britain ma nufactured some 800,000 or 900,000 bales of cotton more than it bad done in 1842; and at the same time produced more coal, more iron and cutlery of all kinds, mere RIMS, china , a nd re earthenwa, morn broa dcloth, blankets, carpets, and every other kind of woollen fabric; imported more timber, built more houses, made more furniture, and, in short, produced every sort of useful or ornament al commodity in greater &bandits°, than it had ever done in a single year at any former period. Take two items as a sample of the progress we have made in production within these ten years:—ln 1842, we imported 1.314,894 bales of cotton • in 1852, 2,351,422 balm. Is 1842,we imported 527,327 loads of foreign and colonial timber; in 1852, 2,090,914 lo•ds—an increase of about 300 per cent. With such an enormous bureau of work, the nation earned much higher wages, and, as • natural consequence, the national busekeeping account, so far as we can form a rough estimate, from • comparison of the Custom-house returns at the two periods, exhibits a correopondieg increase. The following comparison of the respective quantities taken for consumption at the two periods of some of the larger items of our national grocery and foreign pros ion account, will show that although the gross population of the United Kingdom is net much larger than it was ten years ago, the consuming power of the people most have made astonishing progress within that period:- 1842. 1852. Sugar ewts. 3,868.466 .... 7,172,847 Molasses do. 699,640 .... 809,286 Tea lb.. 37,35.5,911 .... 64,713,034 Coffee do. 28,619,616 ..., 34,977,953 Butter ewe,. 180.282 .... 286 385 Cheese do. 178,9:4 .... 279 375 Eggs no. 89,648,747 .... 108,278,539 kite cw*.s. 28 . 2,430 .... 652.624 Currants do. 106.379 .... 342,337 Raisins do. 186,240 .... 228,386 Apples bhls. 111,678 .... 372,118 The most remarkable item in this hill is the increased ooruiumption of sugar—from 3,868,466 cwt. to 7,172,847ewt. The large reduction in the rate of duty has no doubt had some effect in producing the result; but the principal cause has beet, the improved condition of the labouring classes, as is proved by the increased consumption of tea, which had risen from 37,353,911 lb. to 54,713,0341 h. within the same period, although there had been no reduction of duty. In coffee there is nut so great an increase as might have been expected, but that is said to be owing to the introduction of chicory, which prevails to so large an event as to check the consumption of the genuine article. As regards the home counterfeits of tea. from e and hawthorn leaves, we must either suppose that the tea dealers are less given to adulte• ration, or that the public cannot be so easily imposed upon by British imitations of souchong and twankay. Protectionist grumblers, who are unwilling to see anything Peen in our condition because the corn laws have been abolished, contend that this increased consumption of comtsrts and luxuries is no proof that a corresponding im provement has taken place in the condition of the /about , ing classes. It is true that the nation has consamvd more tea and sugar than formerly ; but, an we quite sure that the poor have had a fair share of the increased quantity? Oa that point we cannot pretend to give any accurate data. which would show the precise mode in which the addHooal 3,304.381 cwte. of sugar, the 17,3.57,1231 b. of tea, and all the other commodities have been distributed. In spite of all Our prosperity, there are. doubtless, many of our popula tion who um still condemned to live on narrow supplies. In the main, however, we may take for granted that the in enacted quaati , y of food has gone to the right quarter. Reasoning fr..rn general principles, we may safely minded* that the wellthy and middle class consumed as much colo nial produce in 1842 as they could desire, and that, conse quently, they were not likely to increase their cousurnp thin greatly in 1852. The obvious inference, then, is , that sir increased import of the articles we have named must have been chiefly ellniellieti by the labouring claws. THE WEATHER TABLE.

Yesterday an application was male (before Vice-Chancel. lot Sir W. P. Wood, at the Bull Inn, Cambridge,) for an Injunction on the part of certain allarehuldera of the Sircw- bury and Birmingham It %decay Cumpeny, to retrain the defendants, the Hon. It. H. Clive, Mr. H. Mr. J. Walker, Mr. It. Smith, Mr. J. Perks, Mr. T. J. Badger, Mr. C. (leach, Mr. S. Phillips, Mr. W. Bennett, Mr. It. Roy, Mr. G. Knox, Mr. J. Baird, Mr. T. Bulkeley, Mr. M. Greeetwook, Mr. C. Emery, Mr. F. P. Barlow, Mr. W. Bailey, and Mr. 11. Mortimer, from acting as directors of the above company, or in any way dealing with the pro perty thereof. The Solicitor General, Mr. It. Bethell, and Mr. Prior, appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Rolt, tI.C., and Mr. Bu mf , Q.C.. appeared for the defendants Barlow and Bulke ley ; Mr. Ruh and Mr. Giffard appeared for all the other defendants, except Knoz, Ge.ich, Bennett; and Mortimer ; Mr. Gifford appeared for Knee ; Mr. Follett represented (leach and Bennett ; and Mr. Kerslake appeared for Mor timer. The said that this was a bill filed by the Shrewsbury and Birminghiss Railway Company against numerous gentlemen who were, or had been, directors of the company, and be believed that all the defendants appeared. The object of the bill was to restrain those gentlemen from the advantage of a great number of shares which had been transferred by them to persons by means of pretended sales, which, in truth, were merely fictitious and fraudulent ; and by the operation of which hitherto they ha-I been enabled to obtain majorities in the meetings of the company. That was one of the principal complaints in the bill, although there were many others into which he need not then enter. Ile should state, however, that his great object, in the event of his honour thinking it right to grant delay, was to provide that, in the mean time, there should be no meeting of the share holders of the company summoned or convened, be cause at any meeting the shareholders who would at present be convened to attend it would be persons who were mere nominees, and had no right to the character of shareholders. .With regard to that stipulation, he appre hend. d there would not be much difficulty. One of the other tenuas which he prupo,eti wee that, is the meantime, there should be no dealing with any stock, shares, or debentures of, or belonging to, the company. He also proposed, as hie clients had given notice of a meeting to be convened at the instance of the persons who had originated this suit, that, in the event of that meeting being held, that notice should also be complied sigh on the part of the directors. Some undertaking must also be given upon the subject of books and papers, which should be placed in some secure spot, where they could be conveniently had access to by both parties. At present they were in the company's o ffi ce, but, in consequence of certain abstractions which had been de tech d, they had bees pltead in the custody of the Wolver hampton police, acd he had no objec•ion that they should still remain in the same office, and under the same custody. He also claimed that, in the meantime, the defendants should two* no proxies at the expense of the company. If these several stipulations were agreed to, he should be quite ready to assent to the ease stan.iing over for a limited time. Mr. Rolt, Q.C., for the defendants, said that the copy of the bill had been delivered to them on the 19th inet., which was on Friday last, a portion of the affidavits on Saturday, some on Monday, and some only yesterday. The a ffi davits turd gtauetu en of high character and station with fraud, be &WM have thought they could hardly be sup -16 MOO been guilty of, and which they were able in rsamezm *th time, ey and answer. At the same of cones:, a ire* of care and consideration were necessary in as spartaishas the facts, and as thee* gentlemen lived is duff parts aft, country, it was quite impossible that they could get their affidavits ready in time. For these reasons it was that delay had been suggested, and, of course, if that delay were only that of a few days, no meeting of shareholders moild by possibility be held in the meantime. Upon that head, therefore, there was no necessity fur an undertaking. The Solicitor-G I said, it an undertaking were not given to hold no meeting, and not to deal with the shares in the meantime, he must go into the case to show that he was entitled to an interim order. Mr. Molt said there was no intention of dealing with the shares Hu Honour—ls there any objection to give the under taking, then ? The Solicitor-General said the complaint was, that there had been traudulent creations and transfers of shares. There had also been a meeting summoned by these very defendants he for the 14th September, and unless had some undertak mg that nothing should be done in the meantime, he must pros for an interim order. His object was that, in the in terval between the present time and the day of adjourn ment, things should remain precisely us stieu quo. Stier considerable discussion upon the details of the ar rangement fur adjourning, a document was drawn up and signed by the counsel to the following effect:—" Copies of the affidavits to be delivered on or before Saturday next, and topics in reply to be returned on or before the Wednesday following. Motion to stand over to Friday, September 2d, at half past 10, defendants undertaking, in the meantime, not to deal in any bentures of, or belonging to, the company, or to issue any primes at the exotica' of the eempsny. Books and papers to remain at the company's °Mee us their present custody." The proceedings were then adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LivaavooL, Avo. 24.

Sir Fitzroy Kelly (with Mr. Cleaaby) appeared for the plaintiffs; Sir Alexatider Cockburn (her Majesty's Attor ney-Genera), Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. Cowling, and Mr. Kitward far the defendants. Mr. Cleasby opened the pleadings. Sir Fitzroy Kelly said-1 have the honour to appear in this case as counsel for Meese). M'Nauehten, who have car ried on busmen. for • considerable time as calico printers and bleachers at certain works called the Birkacre Works, some distance from Liverpool in this county ; and, gentlemen, I entreat your very serious attention to the complaint which they have been reluctantly compelled to make, of acts done by the Liverpool corporation in the execution of an act of parliament, to which you will have to direct your attention, and which has been followed by consequences of more serious character than any which have yet been tried. In truth, you will find from the statement which I shall feel it my duty to make, that it is almost impossible to over-state the injury that has been done te my clients in the way of their trade. The corporation of Liverpool, as you are pro bably aware, within the last few years have been engaged in the very desirable purpose of supplying the town of Liver pool with water, end obtained an set of parliament authce ri.ing them to construct, at some considerable distance — some twenty-five miles, I believe, from Liverpool, amongst the mountains of Lancashire—certain arge reservoirs in which they purpose to collect vast quantities of pure water, and then to convey that water for general con sumption in the borough of Liverpool. It is my complaint that in the execution of these works they have most unnecessarily—l am very far from saying wantonly—been doing injury ; but I believe, from indifference or misapprehension of consequences, without re flecting upon the con.eqoences to other people whose pro perty is situated on the river Yarrow, upon which the works of my clients are situated; and the consequence has been that the foul water which has been sent down that river has been to considerably injure and at last to stop their works. It is pet hape proper that I should at once explain the nature of the bleaching and printing works carried on by the plaintiffs. They are in a large and extensive way. They and their predecessors have carried on chase weeks as calico printers for more than half a century ; and the plaintiffs have attained a degree of proenerity and celebrity for this description of work—and in this department of commerce, in which I believe they employ some five hundred men. They laid out 30,000/ in improvise the works. They have invested • capttal exceeding 60,0101. in this under taking, and until the events took place to which your attention will Ise drawn—till the interfer enee with their bu.ibees by the corporation of Liverpool,—theyg have carried on their business not only without impediment, but with the highest degree of pros perity and success. One indispensable requisite fur this sort of busies:N. is that the watt r must be of the pure-t quality, in order to enable th. m to carry on their works; end you will understand to what extent it is necessary, when I tell you, that every pound weight of the cloth or exii..o which they use in printing is mule to pass through, and really to come intocontact with very nearly a ton of water. ' The cloth which hos to be print. tl has to be passed through water several times, and therefore it is quite necessary that this water should be of the purest description. In conse quence of the supply being of this de.crieeion, the plaintiff. have arrived at the highest position is their trade. They have acquired the highest repusaion not only in England but in other countries, and they maintained it until c rcum stances occurs . • el to which I will now call your attention. It was found in the course of the month of August—the latter end of August, or in the September of last yenr,that occasion ally the water of the Yarrow, which ku poli. s the works of the plaintiffe,was mixed with some deleterious substance, which produced injury on the calico printing of the plaintiffs, lied obstructed their works. This at first occurred only flees sionsliv, hut during November, December, and the follow. ir.;( JI - nuary, they (=el that the water wee almost con stantly in • state of impurity; and they found that the water was so mach combined with foreign and deleterious substances when it got to their reservoirs that it had an injurious offset upon their cloth. They found that this THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 25, 1853 water beirg foul, produced instead of the pure colour, a a ., r t o r dirty white mud.liness, and the consequence was that their prints, instead of, being, as they formerly , had been, first rate, were either second or third rate, and frequently. l.e the pureoses of trade, were utterly unsale- ! able, and thsy were obliired to sell them fur such prices as they could get. The learned gentleman then went 011 to explain that the impurity of the waters of the Yarrow was owing to the contractors under the corporation throwing into • goit a quantity of mud and silicate, which I ran into the Yarrow•, and by its chemical con %fitments rendered the water of that river unht ' for calico printing. After some time the plaintiffs got an interim injunction from Vice-Chancellor Sir James Page Wood to restrain the defendants from sending the muddy water down the Yarrow, and then the mischief ceased. But when the filth was going down the stream, instead of print ing ;5,600 or 6,000 pieces of cloth per week, they printed none. The interim injunction having been confirmed, no more muddy water was sent down the Yarrow, and now the water was as pure as ever. Be understood the defence to be that the corporation being authorised by act of parliament to construct the works, were nut liable ; and he proposed to settle the question of law first, and then the damages could be accessed by another tribunal. The Attorney General assented to this course. Sir Fitzroy Kelly resuming, said he understood the de fendants contended that the action had not been brought in the proper form, it being contended that an application ought to have been made fur a mandamus to have the ques tion of damages decided in another way. The learned gentleman was about to call witnesses when our despatch left. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YzsTERDAY. twos' Mi. B.IOJVANT ADAMS, ANIISTAVT JUIPOZ. James 1 frisky, 48, and John Kirby, b 3, surrendered to take their trial on an indictment in which they were charged; Buley with stealing a quantity of calico, Mina. I, &c., the property of Brown, his muter; and Kirby fur feloniously receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. _ _ . _ . Slr Robinson and Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prow -1 cotton, Mr. Clarkson appeared for Healey, and Mr. Oif lard for Kirby. The trial of this case occupied several hours, but the ma terial facts disclosed in the evidence were shortly these:— : The prosecutor is • linendraper, infirm and advanced in years, carrying on business at 119, Holborn, and the prisoner Healey was in his service as foreman or manager of the whole concern. Kirby was dealer in drapery goads in Eyre-street, Clerkenwell, and it seemed he was in the habit of going to the pi osecutor's shop watching outside for an opportunity, and then having exchanged signals with the prisoner Bagley or some of the other servants, who it was opined were conniving at what was Going on, he would go into the shop, get a bag, which he carried with him, well stuffed with goods, _and be off without paying a farthing. This, was detected by • person named Mayer, an opposite neigh bour of the prosecutor's, and, from information given by him, an officer took Kirby into custody as he was leaving with his bag full of flannel, calico, stockings, and other articles. They were just as they were taken from the shelves, and Batley first said he sold them and took the money, then that they were but partly paid for, and then that they were not paid for at all, and no entry relating to the transaction was made by him, as there should have been, if be was doing what was right, in the sale book. He was not authorised to sell on credit. The jury found the prisoners Guilty on a count in which their were both charged with the atealing. Mr. O'Brien said the prosecutor had, taken stock sines this occurrence, and he found that he had been plundered altogether of property to the value of 1,700 i. This state ment produced considerable sensation. The Assistant Judge said it was a most base and infamous case, and sentenced each of the prisoners to two years' hard labour. cessive fare from a lady named Colliruion, residing is Mor timer-street, Cavendish-square. The c,mplainant stated, thst on the morning of Satur day, the till Met , she eng..ged the dehmdant's cab, in which she was conveyed from her residence in Mortimer-street to the Shure.ditch station of the Eistern Counties Hearsay. Having repeatedly travelled the same distance, for v.ich she had never been charged more than 2s 4.1. before the recent alteration in the scale of cab fares, she handed the defendant 25., with an intimation that he might keep the odd siapeuce, although she believed that the proper fare was only eighteenpence. The defendant, however, en far from being satisfied with her liberality, peremptorily re futed the tender, detlarimt that the distance exceeded five miles, and roughly demanded half.a-crown, which she tati• nicely paid him to save the train, but at the same time took his number, and cautioned him that, on her return from the country, she would certainly take out a summons against him fur the extortion. In answer to the charge the defendant, who exhibited an air of surly deg ince, persi.ted . hat the lady had only given him Is. 6d. in the first instant..., and urged that he had not gone much beyond the mark after all, as he considered the distance was not mere than a few yards within the tire miles. Mr. D'Eyncourt said that it was perfectly manifest that the defendant had exacted an excessive overcharge, as he waswell aware that even under the old system, the legal fare to the Eastern Counties was only as. front Hyde-park Corner. Ile had frequently bad occasion to notice that ladies and foreigners were specially selected by the defend ant's class as objects of their impositions, and he felt it in cumbent to make an example fur their protection in all such cases that came before him. Detendant—But, I say, I hope you ain't a going to put a fine upon me this 'ere time, co's I ban% got no money, and in caurse I can't pay. Mr. D'Eyncoart—l shall order you to pay a penalty of 10s. and the costs, which amount to 65., or to be committed in default for ten days to the House of Correction. The defendant refused to pay the fine, and was locked up, under a grumbling protest. SOUTHWARK. ' Mr. Groves, the extensive saddler and harness maker, in the Bltckfriar's-road, was summoned before Mr. Combe, to chow cause why he omitted to pay to Charles Grasser, cab driver, badge 1,002, his level fare. The complainant said that, on the morning of the 12th inst., the defendant hired him off the cab stand at the top of Britiges-street, Covent-garden, and he drove him over Waterloo-badge to his residence in the Blockfriars-road, opposite Stamford-street. Whea he alighted from the vehicle he only paid witness sixpence, when he was entitled to a shilling, being beyond the mile. Mr. Combs asked him whether the gentleman said any thing to him at the time ? The Cabman replied that he said, " I think you will do better by the reduction of the fares, as I ride more now than I ever did ►efore." Witness said that he thought not, and that under the existing fares there would not be sufficient to support the horse. Mr. Combe—Did you ask him for your proper fore ? Cahman—l said nothing about the tare to him, but put the money in my pocket. Mr. Comber—When Mr. Groves paid you the sixpence which he considered was the proper fare, did you ask him for more ? _ _ Cabman—Ns, I did not ; for I was not exactly certain, although I believed my fare was a shilling. Mr. Combe—l Aran make no order fur Mr. Grove to pay hou any more, as I think you ought to have told him that e had not paid you sufficient. You put the money in your pocket at the time, and seemed satisfied. Cabman—But I have taken this summons out under the 1 & Wm. IV., which says, " refusing or ont4ting to pay the legal fare ;" and the next clause says, " a cabman is liable to a penalty of 40s. if he demands or exacts more." I was not certain as to the distance, although I firmly be ' lieved it to be beyond a mile. In fact, Mr. Orovcs had ad witted that by paying the sixpence into court. Mr. Oreves said that he did not know whether it was more than a mile. Had the complainant told hint so he should have instantly paid it. Mr. Combs said he could not allow such a case to go be fore the public without passing a me censure on the cab man, who ought to have told the gentleman that he had not paid him his legal fate at the time, inst, ad of summoning him without doing so. It was the duty of every uriver of a hackney carriage to tell the parties who hired them their legal fare, and not mammon a party because they happened to take less. He should dismiss the summons without making any order. Oa Monday afternoon, a barrister having chambers in Olcdsquare, Lincoln's-inn, attended before Mr. Combe with esb driver 6,284, to complain of his exacting more than his legal fare. The gentleman was conveyed by him from the cab stand at the top of Chancery-lane to the London bridge railway terminus, when he demanded eighteenpence, con tending that it was more than two miles. The gentleman objected to pay that sum, as it was nut more than two miles hod the cabman take. him the nearest and direct way in stead of over Blackfriars-bridge. Both parties differed in their opinion, and the magistrate directed the officer to measure the distance by the nearest route from the cab rank on Holborn-hill to the terminus. Such having been done, yesterday both parties attended before Mr. Combe, when the officer of the court proved that the distance was 120 yarda under two miles. The cabman said he was most decidedly wrong by the way of the city, which was certainly the nearest, but gentle men mostly desired him to avoid the crowded thoroughfares nwinst_t9 the stpppages—that was the reeenn he came weer The cattleman informed his worship that it was not for the object of the sixpence that he relused to pay it, but knowing the fare to be only two miles (that is a shilling), he considered himself bound on public grounds to dispute it and have the ground measured. The cabman bad re ceived the extra sixpence, and as he had to pay for the measuring he should not demand that back. Mr. Comte said that be really was of opinion on Monday that the distance was more than two mile., but the recent alteration in the city thoroughfares made it easier and nearer to proceed that way.—The parties then left the court. At the close of the business on Tuesday evening, Mr. Lawrence, of Steven's-street, Bermondsey New Town, ap plied for a summons against Mr. Stevens, a tradesman, re siding in Bermondsey-street, for an allegeu indecent assault on his wife, in the house of the latter. He said his wile had gone to Mr. Stevens's house on some business, and while there, the latter indecently assaulted her, and he wanted a warrant or summons against him for that offence. Mr. Combo told him that he could grant him no such a thing. If his wile had anything to complain of she mast attend before him, and give her statement on oath, when he might feel himself satisfied to grant her one. The defendant left the court in rather an excited state and proceeded home, from whence he took a loaded gun and went towards Bermondsey-street. Seeing Mr. Ste vens on the opposite side of the road he fired the contents of the gun at him and severely injured his legs. He imme diately made his escape, and at the time of closing the court to-day he had not been apprehended. It is stated at a late hour that Mr. Stevens is likely to lose his legs, so serious are the injuries inflicted on him. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Edmund Hens/mw, wine merchant, of Mincing-lane, was charged before the Lord Mayor under the following Mrs. Sarah Ann Mott, wife of Mr. Mott, of Broad-street, Radcliffe, draper and slopseller, said—Between 4 and .5 yea terday afternoon I was in Fcnchurcb-street. 1 had left my husband to purchase cakes for my baby at a confectionc ds shop, upon leaving which I went to rejoin him, and when I was within a few paces of him the defendant came from a doorway and grasped my person very improperly and inde cently, and said, "How do you do, my dear ?" I turned round, and he passed to the other side,and began to laugh in my face ; and my husband setiug hat took place, came up, and there was an altercation. The defendant struck at my husband, and hit me in the face two blows, which were intended for my husband. He was a stranger to me. He appeared to be sober. It was, I should say, purposely done. He used very bad and abusive language to my hua• band. _ _ Mr. Mott—l walked on in Fenehurch-street while my wife went into the shop. She afterwards came towards me, and as she came along the defendant clutched her round the thigh and said, " How do you do, my dear ? " I said to him " How dare you insult my wife in the public streets? Do you think she is a common prostitute ? " He replied, "She may be. for what I know." I :hen pot itty hand on his shoulder to detain him till I should call an officer, and he struck my arm off and called me a liar and a fool several times. He struck at me twice ; both blows hit my wife. I told the officer to whom I applied what lad transpired, and the defendant again called me a liar. At the station-house to which we _went I said I should expect a suitable apology. He said there that he was sorry for what had occurred, but he only said so to save himself the trouble of attending hete to day, and I avid that I would not withdraw the charge unless be made a proper apology to my wife. The defendant said he bad been in Fenchurck. street on business, and as he was coming out of the hows his knee caught in the lady's dress. He might have said, " I beg your pardon, my dear," upon which her husband attempted to strike hint, but was struck by hint. The gentleman then attempted to collar him, but was prevented, and a blow iti• tended for the complainant accidentally struck the lady. The complainant and his wife wished him to apologise, but i be refused to do so because the assault was accidental. The affair was, he assured his lordship, exaggerated. The defendant was then convicted in the penalty of 20s. Thomas Browning was charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of 74 . Store and Co., wiue and brandy merchants, of Crutched Friers. The case seemed to excite a great deal of interest in conse quence of the high character of the prisoner fur several years in the City of London. Mr. Parry appears for the prosecution; Mr. Robinson appeared for the defence. Mr. Parry said he had been instructed to bring several charges of embezzlement and fraud against the prisoner, who nad been many years in the employment of the prow cutor, and bad taken the opportuaty of exercising great skill and ingenuity in confusing the accounts in such • manner as to evade detection by the course of ordinary exit. mination. Mr. Paul Store (the principal of the firm) said—The pri soner has been in my employment 15 years and upwards as principal eters and cashier. On Friday last. I believe it was, I discovered that he had been defrauding me. I was in my private counting-house, and I came down to him and inquired the amount of the balance at my bankers. lie mentioned an amount, which Ido nut recollect. 1 took up those books, which would enable me to ascertain the amounts paid in, and in tracing the accounts paid in I found certain deficiencies. Copying some few of them on a piece of paper, I went down to him and said, " You appear to have some amounts by you not paid, why don't you pay them in ? " He made no re ply. I waited, I suppose, abut two minutes, and then said very kindly to him, " Do you hear me, sir ?" He came round from his desk, where he had been seated, and laid hold of me by the oat, and said, " For God's sake, Mr. Store, forgive me." I replied, " You don't mean to tell me you have been robbing me." Ile detained me by the coat, and said, " Don't—pray don't " I thrust him ' from me and said , " I'll have nothing to say to you." i ' then went immediately out of the house. I did not hear him say anything more at that time. The following morn ing I went to toe count ng-house, about 11 o'clock, and saw him there. I had locked up the books and cash-boa on the previous day. Ile immediately addressed me, saying, " For God's sake forgive me, Mr. Store ; if not fur my own sake, for that of my family." 1 repli. d , " I'll have nothing to say to you," and left the house. Upon my return with an officer, in half an-hour, he was gone. I gave directions that he should be taken into custody, and he was accordingly apprehended, I believe, on the Monday following. l have looked through the books. The cheque produced for 2471 15.. Gd. 1 drew on the 23rd of October, 1852, far ruin and nine duty in cash. The wine duty was 1271. Gs , :.nil the rum duty was 120/. Os. according tcy, the couiverpart produced in the prisoner's handwriting, neither of which sums was m ode use of fsr that purpose. The prisoner hiele that cheque to the ha. kers. The amount was not r. quired for the duties, and was to ow paid back to the baokers, as direct-il by me. I cannot say when I gave those directions. It might be two or three days afterwards. I calling remember the words I mod, but believe they were such as I use on such occasions. Crosse-examined by Mr. Itohonie—l might have given him directions to pay in a part of the 1111101.1111, and retain a small port of it, and if I did so the ether port would be paid in with other money, if not in one pay nit sat, in two. Examinati by Mr Parry continued-1 gave hilt, direc tion to pay the whole of it into the brut—if not in one payment he was to pay it in two payments. The en'ry in the " rough pay in banker's book," produced, of the 25th of October, is in the prisoner's writing. The entry is for rum duty of 120/ Os. Gd. in three link of Hegland notes and silver. That was cornet as paid in. The next entry on the 4th of November in his writing is 10 1 'l. in two bank noses of 401. each as the wino duty. The hook was kept by the prisoner, but 1 had access to it when I chose. ilia duty was to enter in this bleak all the monies he paid. 1 have most carefully taantined it, but cannot liud any entry of 271 01.1. the balance of the wine theirs. Here other books were protlue.d, and evidence wee gone into to show that the entries had been wade. It was arranged that the case should stand over for a week in consiquenee of the complicated and contused state of the honks, and the Lord Mayor called upon the prisoner to find bail to the amount of 100/. io his own surety, and two securities in :in/. each. The bail was entered into. WORSHIP-STREET. Job King, a cabman, wearing the badge 8,502, wu sum moned before Mr. D'Eyntoun for having eaacted an ea- THAMES. Yesterday a very respectable man, who has been in the Royal Navy, came before Mr. Yardley to complain of a dissipated and troublesome wife, who was the bane of his existence, and had nearly ruined him. The applicant, whose anxiety and troubles were depicted ou his countenance, said that his wife was repeatedly drunk, that Abe had made away with a good deal of property to in dulge in her propensity fur strong drinks, and that when he expostulated with her she abused him, and used the most foul epithets towards him. She had broken up his home several times, and he really did not know what to do with her. Mr. Yardley—Has she used personal violence ? If she has I can interfere. The applicant could not say that his wife bad done so, but she neglected her home ant family. She had sold off his property, had disgraced him in every possible manner, and was noisy and riotous in her home, which, instead of being a comfort, was a hell to him, where he could have no peace, no enjoyment. Mr. Yardley was sorry to say he could not interfere. If the wife Wii• as bad as was represented, the husband would be quite justified in keeping her without money, and sup plying her only with what was sufficient for her sustenance. Tile applicant said he had done so, and his wife bad sold his furniture and run him in debt in all directions. Ile seldom came home without finding her intoxicated and wallowing on the H ear. He had endeavoured, in every possible way, short of cruelty, which he had no right to use, to retrain her, but in vain. Mr. Yardley said he was very sorry indeed that he could render the applicant no assistance whatever. If the wife was ,trunk and disorderly in the streets he could punish her, but the law did not give magistrates any power to in terfere with domestic relations. The applicant had token his wife for better and for worse, and he must manage her in the hest way he could. Tne applicant—la she to ruin me quite ? I have a pension of Gut a year from the government (he put forward some papers in proof of his &Assertion), and I am willing to allow nor half of it, or do anything else in reason, but she won't accept it, and is determiutil to be a torment and a nuisance to me. Mr. Yardley—lt is a 5.,(1 case. Similar applications have hero repeatedly made to me, and I have been obliged to tell others, as I do you, that 1 cannot interfere with the domestic attars of a man and his wife, unless blows are struck or a breach of the pe .ce committed. The applicant—What am Itodo ? I quite despair. • I left her drunk end breaking up my things just now. If I strike her I shall render tura liable to six months' im• prisonment and hard lahour under the new act. Mr. Yardley said that was so, indeed. There was no good effected without an atteadant evil. One of the effects of the new act enabling magistrates to punish men for ag gravated es-sults on women to the extent mentioned was to mike the women a god deal worse, and he had made up his mind to punish drunken aid disorderly women brought b e fore him as severely us fie could. The inevitable effect of the new act must lw, that women who committed assaults in men or were guilty of violent and disorderly conduct must be punished with nice severity than before. Ile had put the new act in force in several instances ' but he was sorry to say that one of the rife cts of it was to make the women in the district of that court much worse, and they were had enough before. Perhaps when they knew what his determination was they would behave better. He did not expect any amendment among the women until they were made fully acquainted with his intentions. The applicant (imploringly)—Can't you compel my wife to accent of a separate maintenance ? Mr. Yardley—No. 1 c.inn.,t give you the least assistance. The applicant lingered about the witness boa aome time, apparently at a loss to know what to do, and then packed up his pension paper and other documents and retired. MARKETS. I'ItODUCE.—The month;y eir,alar of Misses. H. W. Jew rebury and Co. observes: ^ There has been an increased confidence in the foreign and colonial produce markets during the past month, and importers beim_ liens in their d, mantis, i haye in many inverters succeeded in obtaining advanced rates. The more favourable po►ition of the Bsstern ques tion has tended to produce this result, and should it termi nate favonrably, as is now confidently expected, combined with the fine harvest weather lately experienced, will, it may reasonably be antic pater', be followed by increased business transactions throughout the whole country, and that the present large consumption of all the leading articles I will not only be maintained, but be still further ineriased. The importations of produce hive been large, which has prevented the stocks showing any material alteration from those of last month. The consumption of sugar having increased so largely, arrivals tail to present that gradual reduction of stock, which has been taking place for some time past. Cochineal has improven in value since our last, and from the accounts of the deficiency of the crop in the Writ Indies, we may look for higher rates being paid. Indigo and safflower are both firmer with an upward tendency ; other dyes and dying materials remain much the same as last month. The con tinental advice' report the produce markets firm, with a good business doing. The late advice' from India and China notice that at the former; place trade continues dull ; at the latter place the revolution now going on naturally affects mercantile transactions, but hitherto resrect has been paid to foreign merchants and their effects. From our own Inanufuctarrug districts advices report an improved tone, but the increased rate of interest caused by the con. tinned demand for capital has materially affected business transactioes, more particularly for Manchester goods. The woollen districts report a continued good demand, and firm prices. Indigo.—This article since our last has been in fair demand ; previous rates are well supported, and have rather an upward tendency. particularly for the finer descriptions; the last news from Calcutta is decidedly more encouraging as regards the prospects of the new crop,which is still, how ever, not expected to prove an average oat: 115,000 mounds are mentioned us the probable amount of yield, which would be equal to about 28,000 chests; about 1,000 chists remain fur shipment, hut they will most probably be kept back until the end of the year; the quantity shipped from Calcutta from Ist Nov., 18.52, to 30th June, 114,53, was, to' Great Britain 14,822 chests, to France 8,140, to North America 1,546, to the Red Sea, Bombay, and other ports 2,103, total 26,671 chests. The quantity shipped to Great Britain at the corresponding period last year, was 22,911 chests. Our stock is now 22,873 chests, against 30,078 ; the deliveries have been 21,299, against 22,673 at this time last year. The stxk of Guatemala is 2,254 serons, against 1,384 in 1852." COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, Auo. 24.—The market closed tamely and steadily, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds are little changed. The low qualities of American might no doubt be bought at some decline, but they sr, not asked for. S4lea, G,OOO bales, 1,000 for export. They comprise 4,500 Americans, 110 l'ernams and Msranhsms, 6Ad. to Bd. ; 250 Bahia, 61d. to sp. ; .500 Egyptian, 61d. to Bd. ; 500 Surat, 311. to 4IU. ; 100 Sea li. lands, Is. 6d. to 3s. per lb. COltN.—Bosvon, Aug 24.—Our market has followed London, and has been very excited to-day. Although the show was good the farmers succeeded in making an advance of 4s. per qr. on Wheat over lett week's rates, and a fair business done. A few samples of new Wbeat offering; the quality good, and prices about the rainc as old ; red, ti3s. to 655. ; white, 6,5 s to 675. STOCXTON•ON-TEEA, Aug. 24.—The weather during the past week has been most favourable for maturing the crops. H the crops, although much improvid by the late favourable change in the weather, are reported to be very thin on the ground. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise and from abroad are large, and the supply from the growers to this day's meiket was pretty good. The improvement in Mark lane causedisellers to ask a similar advance, which buyers would not concede; the market was, however, cleared at an advance of 21. per qr. on last week's currency. In other grain there is no change. Imports : Wheat, coastwise, 1,595 qrs. ; foreign, 2,270 ; Oats, coastwise, 140. DUBLIN, Aug. 23 —ln consequence of the advance in the London market, higher rates were demanded hi re for ali descriptions of old grain, but they were only realised in a few inst . , and from needy buyers. We repeat our quo tations of Friday. The supply of new grain is Increasing. New oats supported last day's prices. New bere a shade dearer to-day. Rape was fully Is. higher.

These concerts are considered the most famous in Ger many. DisorsTlNG AFIATIL—On Friday last, an Irish labourer, residing in Dryeate-street, having got himself a little elevated, forthwith determined to enlist in the lion. East India Company's service, and accordingly shortly after took the hob. On reselling his domicile on Saturday last, Pat related the affair to his better half, when she, like a loving wife, thoughtfully considered bow her husband could escape from the clutches of the soldiers. lice confi dential friends were immediately called in to deliberate, and, after a sh-rt diseussim, it was resolved that Pat's right eye should be sacrificed, thereby disabling him from being a soldier. The unthinking wretches instantly put the reso lution into force by attacking the man, who was still under the influence of liquor, and knocking him down. Alter nately the women but m'.re especially the man's wife— made unsurcessful attempts with their fingers to gouge or tear out l'at'e eye, the poor man meanwhile making the best resistance he emit' against such inhuman treat ment. The police by this time were apprised of the occur rence, and proceeded to the house, but the " oreulists " had fled. The man was brought to the Central Police-office and attended by the surgeon of the establishment. The eye which had been experimented upon was severely bruised round the optic,the lids were much swollen and discoloured, and his face scratched in vuious places.—North British Daily Mail.
