Miss Hodgson, the complainant, stated that at about six o'clock yesterday afternoon she was sitting on a bench in the Green-park when the prisoner went up to her and began to use the foulest expressions to her, at the same time thrusting his face against her's. She was much alarmed at his threats, and endeavoured to escape from him, but he stooped over her so closely that she could not rise from the seat. She called for aid to a gentleman who was leasing, and who dragged the prisoner away from her, and so released her. The prisoner, using a foul expression, called the gentleman a " foreigner," and threatened to split his head with his own Mick. He endeavoured to take the gentleman's walking stick from him, and also to snatch her umbrella from her. The gentleman gave him in custody. Mr..lohnson, the gentleman referred tq corroborated.

Mary Ann Tite, saleswoman for Mrs. Richards, said that one day last week the prisoner cameto her and asked to see wino steel brooches. She showed several, and of ter prieoner left she having made no purchase, she missed a steel brooch of the value of agoinea. Yesterday prisoner came agairdwhile she was serving a lady, and asked another assistant to show her some steel goods. She (witness) at once left the lady and went to the prisoner, who took up a steel brooch, and asked the price. She told the prisoner 21s. The prisoner made no remark, bat turned round and walked out at the I 'stunt-street entrance. She (witness) told the other as sistant that she suspected the prisoner was the same person that robbed her last week, and on looking among the goods she missed a bracelet of the value of 42a. She immediately put on her ,bonnet and went after the pri soner, but could not boil her. In about half an hour or three-quarters the prisoner came in again, as she (witness) was selling an article to a customer at the other aide of the building, and looked at some steel goods again, and directly she caught sight of her (witness) she was about to make her way out of the palace by the Oxford-street entrance. She (witness) then went up and accused her of taking the bracelet, but she de nied it. She then took the prisoner into the office, and on going back to the stall ((mud that a brooch of !the value of •Sis. was also gone. The prisoner was then given into cus tody, and on the way to the station the prisoner dropped the brooch, having taken it from her stocking. Austin, 318 A, said he was called to the London Crystal Palace by the porter, and took the prisoner to the station. On the way he observed her stoop, as if to adjust her garter, and then a young man, who was following, called out, She has dropped it." The prisoner thoo stooped and picked up the brooch, and they had to take it from her by faros. On the way to the station the prisoner put Nome money from a little hag into a new purse, which bad a piece of string attached to it, as if it had been hung up in a shop and not sold, and on her being searched some new scissors, with the shop marks on them, were also found. The prisoner said the brooch was her own property, and that was why she would not give it up. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, directing the case to be well looked into by the police, to see if there were any previous convictions. CLERKENWELL. A YIOLINT SCENE - - - - Sarah Elite, aged 20, a n unfortunate female, who, not withstanding her drunken and dissolute habits, and her having been several times in prison, still bore traces of once having been handsome, was charged before Mr. Barker with attempting to steal • watch sod guard from the person of Mr. Bosley, builder, of Argyle-square, in North-place, Cromer-street, St. Pancras. As soon as the prisoner was placed in the dock, she became exceedingly violent, and made use of the most blas phemous expressions. She not only abused thieprosecutor, but the officers cud the magistrate, and said if she could et near either of them she would murder them, remarking that she might as well be hung fur a sheep as a lamb. Sul violent was her conduct that Mr. Mould (the chief clerk) told her that it would be necessary to have her removed, and the handcuffs platted on her. He also told her that she was disgracing her sex, and that those who heard her only looked on her with scorn ; but all to no effect, and it was ultimately found necessary to re move her. Whilst ie the cell she screamed violently, and when she was • little quiet it was only to make use of the most horrible threats and imprecations. Front the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that yes terday afternoon he was passing through North-place, to go to his beck premises, when the prisoner came out of one of the brothels and stood in front of him, and would not let him pea. It may be stated that North-place is full of brothels of the lowest description, and is in fact • disgrace to the parish of St. Pancras. (It is inhabited by prostitutes and thieves of the waist description, and hardly a day but that a charge of some kind or another is brought }rues the magistrate from that place.) l)n the prosecutor endea vouring to pass the prisoner she made a grasp at his gold guard arid broke it, but fortunately del not succeed in getting possession of the watch. He backed out of the court, being afraid that the prisoner's companions would come to her assistance, and the prisoner followed and said she was determined to have his watch. He managed to get safely away with the watch in his possession, and he then called a police countable and gave her into custody. The constable had a great deal of trouble in apprehending her, for as soon as she saw hint coming she ran into one of the homes and secreted herself. The police stated that the prisoner was a notorious cha racter, had beeu ItaVeral tirms convicted on charges of drunkenness and felony, and had only been out of prison a few days, where she hod been confined for 12 months for stealing a watch. . The — prisoner was here brought in to plead, and again making use of bad language, said she should reserve her defence as the magistrate mud prosecutor were both pigs. Mr. Barker said it was melancholy to see a young woman like the prisooer &agreeing herself in such a manner. He should commit her for trial to the Middlesex &salons, and he should direct that her character might be mentioned to the judge, and that copies of her convictions should b e produced. The prisoner was then removed in a frantic rage, but was afterwards brought back and informed by Mr. Mould (the chief clerk) that .he magistrate would send her for trial for felooy and not for misdemeanour, so that if she was eon vioted she might be sentenced to penal servitude instead of to a short term of imprisonment. The prisoner, who said she did not care what they did with her, was then removid. SOUTHWARK. A YoRKSHIRDIAN'S VISIT To THY IXIIIBMOII. A young fellow named John White, who wes well-dressed, aid refused to rive his address, wee brought before Mr. liurcham, charged with stealing a valuable watch from the person of Mr. Joseph Strickland, a manufacturer, reading near !sells, in Yorkshire. The prosecutor, a jolly-looking country gentleman, said a few days ago be cause up to London to see the Exhibition, and yester d ay went with a friend to witness the Fo resters' Pie at the Crystal Palace. About 7 o'clock they came up by railway from the latter place, and walked some distance up the Borough to look for a Kings land omnib us , us they both lodged there. When in Union -street a procession came along of teetotallers with a hand of music. Witness and his friend stood on one side to let them pass, when be perceived some one lean over him and mesa his side where bin watch was and leave him. Hie friend called out. " That man has stolen your watch." Wi tness pu t hi s b an d d own and missed it from his waistcoat pocket. and the chubs was hanging down loosely. A minute afterwards he raw the prisoner in cus todr, but the watch could not be found. Mr. }Jungian% asked if he saw the prisoner prior to the robbery being discovered? Witness replied that be did not, as the crowd wu so great, and he was pressed much. William Pickard MIA b e resided near Leeds, and was with the prosecutor in Unionetreet, when the band passed them. lle was standing on the other side of Mr. Strickland, when be distinctly saw the prisoner reach over him, itrid put his hands to his waistcoat pocket, sod withdraw them suddenly. Witness then seeing the chain banging loosely down, called out to the prosecutor, " You have lost your watch." Witness instantly pursued the prisoner sad THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 2, 1862. took him into custody. A constable came up, when he was searched, but no watch wee found on him. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was reminded until Monday next for ioquiries to be made about him. W INSTER. CRAWS or SHOPLIrTING. Plutbe EtimbetA Willis and Elizabeth Lisburn, fashion. ably-dreesed females, wearing extensive crinoline skirts, ware charged before Mr. Arnold with stealing • piece of, silk of the value of 171., from the shop of Messrs. Harvey, Nicholls and Co., 10, Lowndes-terrace, Knightsbridge, under the following circumstances. Eli Brown, an assistant, stated that between 4 and 5 o'clock the previous afternoon the prisoners came into the shop and asked to look at soon silk dresses. He showed them a number, when as he had some suspicion of them he kept • close watch on their movements. They looked at several of the pieoes and asked to see some more. He turned to get another. As he laid it on the counter he missed one of the pieces be bad previously produced. He did not say • word i then, but served them with a piece, which was paid for, and he cleared away the remainder. He communicated with one of the firm, and stated his suspicions. His employer spoke to the prisoners, and asked them to go into the counting-house, as he wished to speak to them privately. On their way there, be saw a piece of silk drop from beneath the drew of Willis. (The officer produced the silk.) Mr. Arnold—What ! All that Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Arnold—How many yards are there ? Witness—Seventy-five yards and a-half, and of the valise of 161. 19s. 9d. Evidence continued—Witness picked up the silk dress and took itinto the counting-house. Mr. Arnold—How could she get that under her dress ? I Witness—She had • alit in frost of it about ten inches long. One of the firm corroborated the evidence. He heard the dress fall. His aesistant picked it up, and said to the pri soner," Here it is." He bad bad his suspicions of them, as they had been several times in the shop. The prisoners were remanded. TWO CHILDREN BURNT TO DEATH. A shocking occurrence took place on Saturday afternoon, in a brickyard in Hurst-road, in the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne, by which two young children have lost their lives, and another lies in a most precarious state. The case is rendered still more melitacholy, as there is little doubt the catastrophe was caused by the wickedness or maliciousness of a boy six years of age. It seems that Mr. Richard Parkington, brickmaker, residing in the above road, and having a brickyard opposite his dwelling-house, bas a small cabin in his brickyard in which a watchman sits at night to watch the bricks as they are being burnt —a precaution rendered necessary in consequence of the trade outrages which have so frequently been com mitted in this district latterly. Between two and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon three of the children of Mr. Parkington, namely, Jane, aged seven years, having ahoy seven months old in her arms, and James, aged three years in November nest, were playing in the cabin, and they had not been there long before Thomas, another child, rive years old, ran to tell his mother that the cabin was on tire. The screams of the poor children were terrific. The fire, which had been caused by some shavings becoming ignited, wee woe extinguished, and the children rescued from the flames. All the children were found to have been droulfuily burnt. James died in about ten minutes, and Enoch gradually sunk, and died about nine o'clock. The eldest girl lies in a most precarious state, there being very slight hopes of her recovery. The inquest on the bodies of the two children was held yesterday, before Mr. Frederick Price. deputy coroner. In addition to the evidence establishing the truth of the above statement, John Farkingtoe, aged eight years, a brother of the deceased children, was examined but not sworn. He stated that he was attending to the bricks and making up the fires. He went home for a piece of bread and butter, and as soon as he could get back he saw Bobby Piercy (a boy six years of age, son of one of the brick-makers working for his father). He was lighting a piece of newspaper at the kiln, about twelve yards from the cabin. He called out when he was lightiog it, " John, we ere going to have a fire in the cabin." He then ran to the cabin door and threw the lighted paper amongst the shavings, after which he ran towards his father's. The witness stated that he did not see any of the other children with a light, and that he was cer tain he saw Piercy throw the lighted paper in the cabin. The boy Piercy was called before the jury. He came in crying, but nothing could be made of him, except that he said it was another boy who had lighted the shavings. The mother of the decemed children said that the girl Jane had been quite sensible on Sunday, and also that day, and the had several times stated that Piercy set the , shavings on fire. In answer to the coroner, the mother said she had refused to let this child play with her children • because he was so wicked, but his mother and her were friendly. The coroner summed up to the effect that little reliance could be placed on the children's statements, and that if the fire was wilfully caused by Piercy he was not of age to be accountable for his actions, and a verdict of " Ac cidental death " was returned. THE PRESTON GUILD. - ACCIDENT AT THE REVIEW. This celebrated festival was opened with much insoil ceremony yesterday morning. Never did the handsome town of Preston show itself to greater advantage, and never did its " proud people" promenade with greater show. Festoom and banners were thrown across the street every here and there, and liege floated on housetops, church steeples, and every prominent building, imparting much beauty to the lively scene. About 10 o'clock, the Mayor, Mr. It. T. Parker, thealder men, the councillorsAnd the offloers of the Guild attended at the Grammar School, Cross-street. The Mayor then formally opened the Guild-book, and the Guild having been pro claimed by the Town Clerk in due form, and other legal business transacted, the civic procession was formed, and marched through Winkley-square, Chapel-street, Fisher gate and Church-street, to the perish church, where all the pewholdera were seated. The service was commenced at 11 o'clock, mid the Guild sermon was preached by the Rev. J. O. Parr, vicar. As in time of old, the Guild was also opened with much pomp by the Roman catholies, at St. Augustine's chapel, where high mass was celebrated by the Right Rev. Dr. Goes. Bishop of Liverpool, who also preached toe crowded cougregatiou. The admirers of athletic sports also celebrated the opening of the Guild, by holding their contest on the Marsh. In addition to prizes amounting to 1051., four elegant Guild belts were given to successful competitors. The sports will last the whole of to-day (Tuesday). The next object of interest was the review of volunteers, which took place of the Marsh, and was attended by 5,689 artillery and rifle volunteers, from Preston, Blackburn, Kirkham, Burnley, Bury, Wigan, Southport, Bolton, Old ham, St. Helens, Liverpool, Roll, and Clitheroe. The rifle volunteers numbered 2,517, and the artillery volun teers 3,172. About three o'clock the reviewing officer, General Sir Yorke Scarlett, accompanied by a staff, arrived on the ground amid the cheers of the assembly, which was very large, and at once proceeded to his duties. Imme diately afterwards, however, the west end of a large stand, adjoining the Grand Stand, fell in with a loud crash, pre cipitating about 100 persons of both sexes on to the ground. Fortunately no life was lost, and while several were bruised and slightly injured, we were told that there were no broken limbs. The Grand Stand, apeble of accommodating nearly 15,000 persons, was thronged by a brilliant assembly. EXECUTION or JAMBS WALSH.—LIIIERICK, MON DAY.—WaIsh was executed at ten minutes before 9 o'clock this morning, at the county gaol, for the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald, at Kilmallock. There were over 2,000 persons present The culprit did not address the spectators. After the bolt was drawn the miserable man struggled violently for some minutes. The crowd dispersed quietly. - - FOROENY BY A CLEROYMAN.—On Saturday after neon the Rev. Thomas Cartwright, curate of St. Mary's Church, Nottingham, was brought before the mayor and the local bench of magistrates, at the police-court, charged with uttering a forged bill of exchange, on the 4th of August, 1862, with intent to defraud. Mr. A. Wells prosecuted, and Mr. Maples defended the prisoner. Mr. Henry Hudston, bill discounter, Nottingham, deposed that on the 4th of August last the prisoner milled upon him at his office and asked Lim to discount a bill of exchange. The bill now produced was the earns, and was as follows : "W. Nottingham, July 31, 1562. Two months after date pay to my order the sum of twenty pounds, value received. To Mr. Pater Drummouil, Stirling.—Thomas Cartwright. Accepted, payable at the bank of Messrs. Roberts and Co., London.—Peter Drummond." &Wormed, "Thomas Cart wright" awl " Henry 1ita1430." Prisoner told withers that Mr. Peter Drummond was the proprietor of a periodical called the Britist Messenger, and the money was for lite rary services. He had at the time a copy of the periodical, I which he showed to witness in corroboration of his state ment. Wben the prisoner produzed a bill witness observed 1 that it was endorsed on the wrong corner, and at his I direction it was endorsed in th e proper place. From in formation he had received he believed the bill to be a forgery. Mr. Superintendent Raynor said that on Friday evening, about six o'elock, he want to the prisoner's house with a warrant for his apprehension. The prisoner asked what it was for, and witness said it was for uttering a forged bill of exchange. Prisoner asked to look at the bill, but wit ness refused, stating that he would read it over to him. Pri soner then asked wbo was preferring the charge, and wit : nese mid he did not know. He then took him into custody. Mr. Wells, on behalf of the prosecution, asked for a i remand for a week in order to produce Mr. Drumm on d ; this the bench granted. The prisoner appeared very de• jected, holding his handkerchief before his face to hide it as much as possible from the gam of the spectators. I The prisoner was ordained by the Bishop of Li nco l n on I Trinity Sunday last, being licensed to the curacy of St. Mary's, Nottingham. A year previous to his ordination he conducted divine service in s populous part of the town in connexion with the church of England, as a probation previous to his being ordained. Immediately preceding this be was superintendent minister for the Nottingham district of the New Connexion Methodists, but seceded from that body iu order to enter the established church. Previous to this charge be was always considered an active and zealous I man, and was highly respected. The prisoner was removed !to the House of Correction. It is said that a number of other forged balls are in circulation. LATEST SPORTING INTELLIGENCE pt user= ram.) DERBY MEETING.—(TBIB DAY.) GRAND RAND PLATS, Hal[ aurae.

He was proposed as a fit and N. proper person to represent the borough in parliament by Mr. se. Enoch Wedgwood, seconded by Mr. Jas. Hancock, and the proposition was received with some applause. Mr. BERESFORD Hors addressed meetings at Hanley and Buralem on Friday night, but was not well received at either place. At the former a resolution declaring he rik• " was not a fit and proper person," &c., was passed with et enthusiasm.

The plant grows wild in these regions, and there is no reason why it cannot be improved by cultivation. Mr. Joli de Sable has just returned from his estate, near Charm, where he has planted six acres as an experiment, and in a couple of weeks he purposes planting about a dozen 'scree more. We may look for the result of this experiment about next February.—Panama Star. THE HOP-PICKING EXODUS. —(THIS DAY. )—The hop season may be said to have now fairly commenced, and notwithstanding the unfavourable accounts that have been received of the probable yield, several hundreds of per sons made their annual exodus from the metropolis this morning. The steamers for Graveseed were thronged with hop pickers (men, women, and children), whose desti nation is the northern districts of Kent. Those who work in Mid-Kent proceeded by the South Eastern Railway, whilst the Farnham and other Surrey pickers travelled by the South Western line. In addition to the above, numerous bodies of working people who have not any particular engagement wended their way on foot to various hop-growing districts. Several carts laden with bacon, herrings, eggs, and other necessaries preceded the exodus, and the proprietors are always cer tain of reaping a tolerable harvest by the sale of edibles. PROSPECTS OF THE Hoc CROP. —Ais regards Sussex we can do little more than repeat the report in our last, simply adding that the past week of favourable weather has exercised its natural influence. and that where plantations had been " slack " they am looking and doing better, end I that whore they have been in good plight the premeds have become still more favourable. No disease, no attacks, no enemies, an I last not least, no fear of the exciseman! If fine weather leant for the picking, the samples must be "full of condi tion." From Kent the accounts are somewhat improved, and in certain districts some first-rate samples will be obtained. But in others the mould bas done damage which carmot be retrieved. Worcestershire and Herefordshire appear to have suffered past redemption. and North Notts predicts that its plantations will be "very deficient," quoting '2 cert. per acre as the probable produce of some gsnlc"s, and asserting that the picking will be a month later than usual —a circumstance not likely to increase the condition of the sample. The Worcester report estimates that instead of 2,000 or 3,0e/0 pockets being brought to the great hop fair, and " all the warehouses choked," there " will probably not be NO pockets on ale."—Susses Advertiser. ANGLING IN PERTHSHIRE.—During the past week there has been pretty successful rod-fishing on the lakes and rivers throughout the county. Owing to the dry weather, the waters had grown smaller up to Thursday, but the fish ing, notwithstanding, was good. The fall of rain on that afternoon was partial, but filled several of the best fishing waters, and tempted anglers out in considerable numbers. Mr. Edmunds and others have had some fine days' fishing on the Earn, and been successful in landing some fine grilse and salmon, weighing from 81h. to 161 b., together with basketfuls of fine trout. On the Lower Earo rod fishing is expected to be more successful since the nets have been withdrawn, for the waters adjoining the Tay seem to indicate an ahundance of fish. They will now get up the rivers unmolested by the nets at the mouths of the tributaries. The grilse caught by the rod are very fine ones this WelSoll, and weigh from 81b. to 121 b. each. On the upper waters of the Tay the fishing has been very good. Several of the anglers have got from two to four splendid grilse nod salmon. On the Stobliall waters, Lord Willoughby landed three salmon, weighing together about 401 b., one of the fish being upwards of 201 b. On the Almond some grilse were got. and trout fishing /me been very productive. One angler on Thursday had fourteen doz-sn in hie creel. On Monday one angler had two fine salmon on the river near Loch Tay. On Friday three grilse were landed, weighing from 71b. to fob. each. Trout fishing here has been also successful, and fine baskets got. On the Lyon, Tumid, and Garry, some excellent fishing—the best this seasoe —has been got by several sportsmen, who, for the sake of variety, exchange occasionally the gun for the red.—Edinburgh Courant. ILLEGITIMACY IN &cert./aux—ln the spring quarter of this year, for which the retails' have recently been issued, there was, upon an average, an illegitimate chill born every hour in Scotland.
