FISHMAN AOR--The Enniskillen Chronick of yesterday says: "We this morning received a oorsmunication formic; us that yesterday six peewits from the moithuiny district of hobo hat waited on the Rev. Roes Mltahan, tr Mona chapel, stating that they had been deputed by some hundreds of destitute poor from Delmore M Amain to Knoelemore, to come forward and declare that endurance could extend no further; and that, unless the most imme diate relief were administered, they would be obliged, most unwil laigly, to promvil to take food u time they could find it. Mr. M'Mahon remonstrated against such a step, and requested the deputation to ac company him to Mr. J. I).

We may further here notice that, at the inciting of the committee for the barony cf Magherriboy, held in Dcrrygonelly on this day week, there was °mist-livable excitement; and at the close of the _argc numbers collected round the Rev.

SCOTLAND. A MtETINO of the COUNTY CIENTLEIILN of Ross-shire was held at Dingwall last week, to take into conaidc•ratiun the state of the populati in consequent on the failure of the potato crop. As it is understood that no relief may be expected from the Government, the landholders have re solved to exert thems.l►ee in their various localities, ia order that the poorer class s may not be exposed to tho calamity of scarcity. Their example, we (Caledonian Mercury) have no d iuld, will be followed in other parts of Scotland, and particularly in the northern counties. That the vacuum in the supply of food by the loss of the potato must he made np from other sources, is a evif-evident proposition, and to enable those who wt -a mainly dependent on that root to procure the substitute, they must either have ample employ meat, or be aided by the contributions of the more able elesses. In the present state of the labour market, it is gratifying to find that there no lack of employment. According to one of the reauluti ma passed at the above meeting, " there never was a better demand for labour in the country ;" but as the price of food has naturally risen, the RO: s-sline land holders fear thud it may be placed beyond the reach of those that ere not fully employed, or who will not ply the busy means to obtain it. With that view they are exerting them selves to impress on the community around them the livers- ' lefty of extnterdinary industry and economy. They call tut evory individual, ir..de and female, to seek employment in every way that it con be found, whether on sea or land. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE.

The GAME INFORMATIONS again occupied the magistrates in prtty mew ion at Cambridge on Saturday. David Tarrant wa-ilsouged with e nooses: in narrctit tptre on laud in the eectipat: In of Mr. iisegis, at - Gnuttcheater, on the Ist of September. Stephen Diley deposed that on the day in ques tion he saw the defendant in a clover field occupied by the Messrs. Haggis, of Cambridge. He was with Mr. Buller, who was shooting. Tarrant was beating for game. Crass-ex amined : \': as appointed to leek after the game hyMr. Pote, Hume, Mr. Bumsttad, and Mr. Walker, Fellows of King's. Tarrant was walking quietly in the field; he hail no stick in his hand. lie was going up and down the WA following Mr. Buller. Witness was formerly in the see , ice of Mr. Lilley, of Grantehester, to whom he paid IN. for cruelty to a horse, and wrisdismissed hissery ice. —M r. Bass, for the defence, said that the defendant was already includedin the information against Mr. Buller, and on Saturday last the ir.formation against that gentleman had bee:.. withdraw:: at tit , suggestion of Lord Godolphin, whose absence to-day was muelt to be regretted. Mr. Buller had taken Tarrant as his servant, and his right to shoot as one of the fellows of King's College *was fully proved on the Saturday previous. Mr. Haggis, the occupier of tho land, did net complain of any trespass; but the information was laid at the instance, of Me. Hume, of the fellows of King's, who had had a dispute with Mr. Buller. But the question was simply this—tit Tarrant was attending Mr. Bailer, who was properly qualified, and it had been held repeatedly that a growl or servant in attendance on his master was not to the penalties of the act. 112 cited the clie of hex v. Taylor,l•l Ea t, in support of his view of the case. The magistrates having retired for a short time (which was occupied by a very spirited discussion on the game 1 vies, between the respective advocates) returned, and Mr. Cotton said that the magistrates thought the infor mation proved, and fined the tefeadant Gd. and 163. 6d. costs, or a week's imprisonment. —There was a:tot:wr infer against the same defendant fur trespass on laud in the occupation of Mr. Ringer, at Graatehe.lter. Tice facts were imilar to those in the fermer case. After a vain attcmd to settle the case which elicited an angry discussion betwc en the advocates of the parties, Mr. Cooper was about to examine his witness when Mr. Bays said lie was willing to admit the trespass, nud the magistrates inflicted Gd. fine and the expenses 133. Gd. or a week's imprisonment. —Another information against the same defendant for using a dog in pursuit of game was then gone into. A witness named Ablett proved the case. Tan int was in one field and Mr. Bully r in another ; the slog was one which Mr. Buller had with him. Tenant had nothing in his hand, nor did he attempt to catch the witness did not see that he had any aazt in his hand; the birds Hew away without being shot at by Mr. Buller. At this stage of the proceedings it was found that the de fer hint had quitted the court, and a messenger was an y:- shed for him, hut returned unsuccessful, and after iting a short time the magistrates decided in his absence, as 1 dismissed the ir.farmation.—Mr. Bays applied for time to pay the money for the two convictions, but the magis tz tea refused, and the money V:l9 paid.—Tlr: next case an information for trespass in pursuit of game against TO a Thomas Lilley, of Grardehester.—The magistratas dis. missed this case. • A Fists:took place on Monday morning on the farm of Mr. S:nith, at Tydd St. Giles, near Wisbenth, which des toyed a barn with a quantity of beam and implements; also a stack of beans, another of hay, and a third of straw. Great praise is due to the labourers of the neighbourhood for their exertions, which saved six stacks of wheat. The property was not insured. NORFOLK. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—The Ocean coach, runr.ing between Cromer and Norwich, left Cromer at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning with a full load, and had proceeded to Ay'sham, a distance of some ten miles, when the horses were changed. The coach had not proceeded on its journey with the hesn horses more than slew hundred yards when the off-wheeler, a spirited mare, not long accustomed to harness, commenced kicking furiously, and caused the remaining horses to take fright and gallop furiously down the hill. The coacitman vainly endeavoured to pull up, and in the attempt the "quarter rein" of the restive mare was broken. There were three ladies seated in front, and, although the coachman and several per - ensrers implored them to retain their seats, in which they retained them by force for a few seconds, two of them contrived to throw themselves oft', and were pre cipitated over a wall about six feet high int* a field. Sin gularly enough, they sustained no injury. The coachman now perceiving that the vehicle would be upset unless speedily stopped, contrived to pull one rein suddenly, and with such force as to swing the horses round and to dash the coach against the wall, over which the ladies had leaped. Two of the horses were severely bruised by their contact with the wall, and remained perfectly still, but bleeding and exhausted. A labourer who was engaged repairing the road then ran up and secured the leaders. On the pas sengers descending, it was found that the bar of the coach was smashed, and ► that the mare, which had originally caused the mischief, was seriously injured. HERTFORDSHIRE AT ST.

THE Two ITALIAN OPERAS.—SIR,--The only let ters on the new Italian Opera at Covent Garden, at all worth reading, have appeared in your excellent paper ; to me it seems that yours is the only correct view of the case, and I am happy to find that you have held aloof from siding with either party to plead the cause of the public, entirely lost sight of by all other newspapers. The Times began the attack, was followed by the Herald, and then by the Pest, all full of flattery towards Mr. Lumley, to which I, for my par', most willingly subscribe ; hut, at the same time, they deity the want of another Italian company, and tax the originators of the new scheme with ingratitude and !ntrigue, two propositions, the first of which the public will soon decide for itself, and, as to the second, the quarrels of the rival managers do not interest it in the least, and had better be left a private affair, to be decided by the respective par ties. The excellent letter of one of jour corre spondents, last week, is a faithful interpretation of the sentiments of a great number of opera frequenters. The gallery stalls are a complete le..a a, as he justly remarks; their nominal price is five shillings, but I, myself, have fre quently wished to take places a fortnight, nay a month in advance, and I have been refused them. I have argued with the box-otlice, but could never obtain redress, and have been obliged to pay seven, and sometimes ten and twelve shiaings for a place. As regards the pit. the disgusting conduct of the men who frequent it, the pushing, crushing, and hurtling of an English crowd forbid the idea of any lady, or even ET, ntleman, attempting to enter it. When you get in, it mostly happens that all the seats are taken, and you have paid half-a-guinea to stand all the evening. Such a state of things surely speaks far itself. I care not a straw for Mr. Lumley or Mr. Costa, but I wish to go to the Italian Opera. and I cannot do so under present circumstances. A letter in your paper of t,-day seems to hint that the speculation must fail. I ant coatident of the contrary, as, without a ballet, the expenses arc diminished by more than one-half, and I believe there is no intention of having one ; as regards the locality, some pretend that the nobility wi!l not wade through the singenial neighbourhoods of Long-acre and Covent-garden. Let them stay at home; the puidie will, and a speculation to succeed now must court the million.—ANit-Moxo Claire.

CUM MING.—Ezorrm DAY, Yesterday morning, the special jury iu the above case re opened at the Horns Tavern. Eenbington, for the purpose of hearing the result of the conference between the Lord Chan cellor and the learned commissioner, F. Barlow, Esq., and also the terms of the arrangement between the parties.—Mr. James, for the supporters of the commission, explained that the heads of the arrangement were, that Mrs Cumming be immediately discharged from custody, and become a per fectly ace agent: that a deed be executed vesting the pro perty in responsible and respectable trustees; Mrs. Cumming to have the sole use during her life ; after her death, one third to revert to her daughter, Mrs. Ince, or her children, free from the control of her husband, Mr. Ince. Another third to devolve upon Mrs. Hooper, or to her children, ako free from her husband's control; the remaining third to be at the free disposal of the lady herself. The jury would be discharged from giving a verdict, and then his learned trier.d Mr. Petersdorff and himself would have to adopt the usual course for the superscilauce of the commission. It was proposed that one of the trustees he Mr. Hutchinson, Mr. Ince awl Mr. Hooper to appoint another, and the learned commissioner a third, if he should approve to appoint.sthird. lie was happy to add that he believed the course proposed would tend to heal the differences which had prevailed be tween the family.—Mr. Petersdorff, fn. Mrs. Cumming, said she had been consulted, and had agreed to the arrangement, by which, he was happy to say, a large. expense would be saved, and the differences between the family speedily - terati nate.—ln answer to the learned commissioner, the counsel on both aides intimated that they retired judicially.—The learned commissioner then discharged the jury without a set diet, with thanks for the patient attention they had given to this long inquiry.—Thus concluded an inquiry which is believed to be unprecedented as respects all previous com- missions of lunacy. e Mr. Justice Mauls and Mr. Baron Platt. CEOLTCORIAIII._CarIMINAL COURT-YESTERDAY. THE ALLEGES) FORGED RAILWAY SCRIP FRAUD.—UpOR the learned judges taking their seats on the bench, John Bannister Faulkner and Bentham Fabian were called upon to surrender to take their trial upon two indictmenta for for gery, which have been upon the files of the court for several sessions, but the deposal of which has been postponed until today. f e ndl2l did ' a n u 1 0 ' k t m a c p r p e a l a or whensur rheen wasd e r e d formally; a: and as coiledt e out p h on d h e i p r a o c r e d d e n e d t k e a s n tr d e a a a te d a e T d h u e pdoen anfreenc4radirdi6lantcLaceluenliethiwerehysievse alleged that, on the 6th May, at the parish of St. Marylebone, one Bentham Fabian fefoniously fbrged a certain acquittance or receipt for the payment of money, and that the pd . . °nor feloniously incited and counselled him to commit the forgery, and was an accessory before the fact. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bcdkin appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Ballantine with Mr. liuddlestone, conducted the defence.—Mr. Cbrk sou addressed the jury, and said that the defendant was indicted with another person named Fabian, who, as they had heave had absconded from his bail, with the offence of forgery. These parties had carried on the business of stock And sharebrukere in the neighbourhood of Broad-street, in the city of Londou, and they . were charged with forging and uttering a document purporting to be an acquittance or re ceipt for the payment of money, with the intention of de frauding a gentleman named Leon Solomon. The learned counsel proceeded to state that although the forged document was technically described us a receipt for the payment of money, in point of fact the forged document was what was now pretty generally known as railway scrip, and referred to a projected line of railway, which was duly registered in accordance with provisions of the act of parliament, called the Buckinghamshire Railway, and Oxford and Bletchley Junction, and an important question would arise, and to which he begged respect fully to direct the attention of their lordships - , whether such an instrument as railway scrip came within the scope of the net of parliament, and could be considered as a valuable security. The form of the document was to the effect that two guineas had been paid as deposit upon a certain number f of shares, aad that the holder of the scrip was entitled to require that number of shares to be allotted to him, upon the company being fully brought into operation. It there fore appeared to him, subject to the better judgment of their lordship, that the dccument weht to the extent of acknow ledging that a certaia amount had been paid, and was there fore in the character of a receipt or acquitemee for the pay ment of money, and the indictment had been preferred in that form. ith regard to the facto, he said he apprehended there could be no doubt that Fabian had obtained a large sum of money from the prosecutor, depositing as security a number of the railway scrip to which he had referred, and he should show that this scrip which represented the Lee lder to be en titled to 400 shares in the undertaking was forged in every respect.—Mr. Ballatitine said, that after what had been stated by his learned friend, it would, perhaps, not be con sidered an improper course for him to take, if he at once proceeded to state the grounds upon which he should con tend, with greet confidence, that the present indictment could net be supported, inasmuch as the document which formed the ground of accusation did not come within the scope of the act of parliament, and could not be taken as an acquittance or receipt. The learned counsel said it was per fectly el , ar that at the time the statute under which the indictment was perms el was passed by the legislature, no arch thing as railway scrip was in existence, and therefere it could not have been intended that the act should apply to euch instrument'', and he proceeded to argue that it would be impossible to regm el railway scrip, although it might, in point of fact, represent that is certain amount had been paid as a deposit, in the light of a receipt or acquittance, end he therefore submitted that the present indictment could nut be supported.—Mr. Huddlestone followed on the same side, and cited a case where a party had been indicted ar.d convicted for forging a receipt in the following form:—" William Chinery, Esc., paid to X. Thompson eight pounds." The judges, upon argu ment, held that the conviction was bad, and that the document was not, in point of fact, a receipt, but merely an whertion that the money was paid. The judges, after a short consultation, said they should not stop the case. —Mr. Clarkson accordingly proceeded to call witnesses. Mr. Edward Richard,' deposed, that in the early part of Aide year he was in the habit of transacting business with the finn of Fabian and Faulkner, but particularly with Mr. Fabian. They were partnere in the business of share agents. He was introduced to the prisoner by Mr. Fabian, at their office in Broad-street, and after this witness negociated the raising of money upon the security of Buckinghamshire Railway scrip, and he repeatedly raised money upon shares of that descrip tion, and handed it over to Mr. Fabian, at the Hall of Com merce, and also at the Jamaica Coffee-house. He never paid any money in the prisoner's presence. In May he received some money from a Mr. le Wick. This was before the trans action with Mr. Solomon. Witness received money from that gentleman upon the security of Buckingham shares, by desire of Mr. Falehe. Oa the 6th May he was in the City, and Mr. Fabian said something to him about the necessity of getting a sum of money before four o'clock on that day. He did not see Mr. Faulkner on that day until after the transaction, when they dined together. Witness and Mr. Frahm went to Mr. Solomon's house to ask whether lie would advance more money if scrip were left with him as security, and upon his consenting to do so, Fabian went to fetch the scrip, and he rctunied with the scrip in question, and Mr. Solomon advanced the suns arranged to be received. Theprisoner did not know enything of the transaction until the afternoon, and then it was only stated generally that a sum of money had been obtained. —M r. Bodkin asked the witness whether he had not on a former occasion made a ei eaten statement of the transaction to his solicitor i—He replied that he had.—Mr. Bodkin said that haying recalled his attention to his circumstance, he must repeat the question whether be penevered in stating that Mr. Faulkner was not aware beforehand of the transaction res pecting the shares.—The witness re plied that lie did.—Mr. Clarkson addressed the court, and intimated his opinion that it would he useless to prececd any further, as he said the charge against the prisoner of being . au accessory before the tact rested entirely upon the testimony of the witness Richards, and as he now made a statement entirely contrary to the evidence he had formerly given, and in feet exonerating the prisoner from the charge, it would be hopeless to expect a conviction.—Mr. Baron I'latt remarked that, as Richards had made two oppoeite statements, it was posabh. that what ho now said might be the truth.—The jury, then, uuder the direction of the court, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. —Mr. Clarkson said there were two other indictments against the prisoner, one for felony and the other for misdemeanour in obtaining money under false pretences ; but us he had eo further evidence to offer, it would be unnecessary to occupy the time of the court by proceeding with them. The pri soner was accordingly arraigned upon the indiotments re ferred to by the learned counsels—Mr. Clarkson, addressing the jury, said they would have gathered, from what had just taken place, the reason why he did not propose to occupy their time unnecessarily hy calling any w itnesses. He must confess he was not surprised, from the manner in which Mr. Richards had been mixed up in these transactions, that he I should have failed them on this occasion, but he was sure that the jury would be satisfied that the trans action had been a most nefarious one, used that it was a eery proper subject for inquiry. At the same time he admitted that it was impossible to convict upon such testimony as that which had been given by Richards, who, if not actually a aaniceps criminis, was at all events so mixed up in the transaction as to render it most unsafe to rely upon his testi mor.y.—A verdict of Not Goilty was then recorded upon each indictment.—Mr. Clarkson then sai4 that a considerable sum of money WaS taken from the prisoner when he was ap prehended, and as there was every reason to believe that a portion of it consisted of the money that had been obtained from Mr. Solomon by means of the [Greed scrip, he applied to the court to order that amount to be restored to the pro. seentor.—Mr. Ballantine said he was instructed by Mr. Faulkner to state that he should not offer any obstacle to the application, and was quite willing that any money that could be identified as a portion of that obtained from Mr. Solomon should be delivered up.—The defendant was then discharged. IVilliant Fitztnaurice alias 'William Pesten, aged 24, WO indicted for feloniously uttering counterfeit coin, after having been previously convicted of a similar offence. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane prosecuted, and Mr. Payne delended the prisoner. It appeared that in 1811 the prison , r was convicted of uttering counterfeit money, and sentenced to 9 months imprisonment, and that on the 25th August he went into the Sun and Sportsman public-house in St. Marylebone, and called for a glass of spruce, throwing down a sovereign in payment. The barmaid gave him change with a half sovereign and silver, w hen he substituted a counterfeit half sovereign for the gcnuiro one, and requested that she would give him silver instead. She, however, detected the attempted fraud, and when the prisoner attempted to make hi.; esiaipe, she very cow. igeousl y seized him and held him until her master came downstairs, and gave him into the custody of a policeman.—The jury found the prisoner guiiity, and he wt.; sentenced to be transported for seven ye as. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1846, NEW COURT. EMBEZZLEMENT AT A CASHIER. Pu!brook°, the young men, whose defalcations upon John Sale ford Basset, his master, were rescntly detailed in our Man sion house report, was indicted for embezzling 461. He was found Guilty. An intimation was given to the learned judge that the pri3ener bad robbed his employer to a very great extent before it was discovered. The Common-Serleant said, under the circumstances he could not sentence him to len than transportation for seven years. RONtERY AT THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAIL.• *Ay TERMINI:S.—WiIIiam Ilatherton, a well-dressed man, and described as a gentleman of private fortune, was indicted for stealing a purse containing a five-pound note and other monies, the property of Miss Harriet Lillywhite. The pri soner was observed,!in company with two more men at the Euston-square Station, by a policemen, to brush by the pro socutrix, and immediately walk away. They were fel lowed, and the prisoner separated from the others, ~vd ran between some omnibuses, and on a cry being raised the pri soner was stopped, and the purse found dose to where he was taken. 'For the defence, John Murphy said the pri soner lodged with him, and had done so for the last three years ; he was a man of independent property, and paid him (witness) 11. per week for his board and lodging. On being r asked how much property the prisoner had, he said he did not know, neither did he know %hat his property consisted of, nor where it was situated. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Common-Serjeant said its could not, under the circumstances, pass a mare lenient sentence than trans portation for ten years. POLICE.-Y 1 OUILDIIALL.—Hreneense FRAUDS.-A shoemaker, named Pope?, was brought up in custody from Notting ham, and charged with the following daring and heartless frauds upon Mrs. Rachel Woodhouse, a widow lady, of that town. It appeared that the family of Stokes, in Nottingham, of whom Mrs. Woodhouse is the principal surviviug member, lay claim to be descended from the Rev. Jonathan Stokes, who died in the year 1700, and is supposed to have Left a very large fortune. The prisoner represented that he could put the prosecutrix in the way of recovering the fortune to which she was entitled, and which he assured her he had ascertained to be at least equal to half a million. Upon this pretence he obtained on one occasion 201., on another 50/., and at various times sums to the amount of more than 100!., which the lady raised by the sale of a small property. The prisoner from time to time produced to her letters, purporting to be addressed to him by a Mr. Fitzgerald Strachan, a barrister, reporting the favourable progress of the suit, and at length announcing that it was decided in favour of the prosecutrix and her relations, who were accordingly invited to meet their barrister awl trusty agent at the London Tavern, on the 28th of July last, there to receive the first payment of 100,0001., and to arrange for taking possession of the immense landed property to which their claim had now, happily, been established. This last letter added that the barrister's cash was exhausted, and that he would require 501. to be advanced forthwith, in order to prevent the other wise unavoidable delay of three or four weeks in drawing the large sum of 100,000/. out of the funds, where they were to the credit of his client. The 50/. was paid, the happy family came to London, but after waiting three weeks they returned to Nottingham without haling seen or heard anything of the barrieter, the prisoner, or the money. Mr. Poyser, however, on being reproached afterwards by Mrs. Woodhouse's brother with having deceived them, said that he would make it all right yet, it they could raise another 101. He continued to hold out hopes for some time longer that he would obtain the expected fortune for the claimants, until his dupes were advised to give him into custody, and prefer a charge of obtaining money under false pretences in this court, as it was in Basinghall-etreet the first sum of 201. was paid to him upon the faith of the forged letters.—Mr. Alderman Hum phcry said that there could be no doubt whatever that the letters written in the tame of the barrister were in the handwriting of the prisoner, and that he had committed a 'scandalous fraud on the poor lady.—He was remanded for a week. CLERK EN W ELL. Arreeirtri) Mcanrn. Robert Olirer, a gas-fitter, living at 21, North-street, Pentowrille, was charged with cutting and wounding, with intent to murder, Henrietta Otis er, his wife.—lnspector Gibbs, who had charge of the case, said the woman had been removed to the Royal Free Hospital, and that her life was despaired of.—The daughter of the prisoner, a girl of 12 years, was produced, but she refused to be sworn, or to siva word which might militate against her father.—Anne Gileust, of it. Latham -court, said that, between one and two o'clock on that day, she was passing by the prisoner's house acciden tally, when she sew his wife running out, followed by the prisoner. She had just reached the non railings in front of his house, ri.eii, rasing a stick, he struek her with all his might with it on the head. The woman fell insensible beside the raiiieaa, and the blood flowed profusely from a large wound on her head.—A constable reported that the surgeon said she could not live, as Ile was unable to tic the artery.—The prisoner was remanded. MARYLEBONR.— LORD AND LADY CLINTON AND Tit :tu Gnoon.—Lord Thomas Pelham Clinton, residing at No. 16, Carlton-villas, St. John's-wood, attended at this oeert •e a &erg.; e•;eSet: ors ef Cieorge irorkman, for having refined to obey his master's orders, and using language of such a nature as to he cal culated to provoke a breach of the peace. Lord Clinton stated, at a quarter to fire yesterday I ordered the prisoner, my groom, to be et the door with the brougham, and soon afterwards I and Lady Clinton entered the v.:hide ; her ladyship found that the seat was covered with gravel anal dirt, and she gave it to the page to take into the house, when the prisoner got off his IVs, and, opening the door of the carriage, said, "Am Ito whip this horse or not 1" I ' told him that he was not to whip it, as I had o! jetted to ha doing so upon previous occasions; upon which le exclaimed, " Oh ! very well then, I don't drive you one inch to-night ; and as to you (addressing Lady Clinton) before you married my lord, you never knew what it was to have a brougham to ride in."—Mr, Rawlinson : Did he make use of any worse language than that which you have mentioned 1— Lord Chino::: He continued his abuse, sir, and I de:ired him to quit my service instantly; I went to look for a policeman, and on my returning with one, he (prisoner) was saying to Lady Clinton, "You're no lady, and I'll teach you how to talk to me." His wife came up and le.gged of Lady Clinton to forgive him, when he said to her the wife), " Don't talk to her, she's too di-reputable for any one be longing to me to speak to."—Atkins, 91 1), said : There was a disturbance and a crowd of persons in front of his lord ship's residence, and I heard prisoner say, " That woman (meaning Lady Clinton) never knew anything alieut a brougham O. she came to your (Lord Clinton's) house." My lord then lifted his cane and struck the prisoner on the shoulder.—Mr. Rawlinson (to the prisoner): What is your answer to this charge ?—Priaoner : I merely told my lord that if I wits to drive him, I must whip the horse when necessary, when my lady directly made a great noise; his lordship then got out of the brougham, and with his whip struck me several times. I have witnessea here to prove that he did so, if you will allow me to call them.—Mr. ltaw linson: You are discharged. WORSH I I'iSTREET. EV:TM/ORDINARY C 'LARGE. Yesterday Edward Npilkr, a middle-aged man of respect able appearance, described as lately a publican, was brought up ou a warrant before Mr. Broughton, charged with violently assaulting his wife, Caroline Spider, and also con spiring, with another man now in custody. named Thomas Byrne, to effect another offence.—The prose cutrix stated that at one o'clock in the morning of Tuesday se'nnight her husband returned home, and expressing his intention to punish her, struck her a violent blow on the mouth and another in the side, and then forced her into the etrett. where she fell senseless, and was picked up by a policemen, who conveyed her to a surgiain's. Being advised by her brother to seek the protection of a ma gistrate for herself and three children, she did so, and that he awaited the arrival of her husband until 10 at night, when he returned home in a state of intoxication, and told her he understood she hail got a warrant out against him, and that he would do something that she should get a warrant her, at the same time seiziug a knife on* the table, and threatening to stab her to the heart. The prisoner, however, shortly alter went oat without carrying his threats into execution, and she being afraid to go to bed, lay down with part of her clothes ou and fell asleep. About four in the morning, how ever, she was awoke by the other prisoner, By rue, who was lying beside her. She instantly screamed for the protection of her husband, who was lying at the foot of the bed, pre ' tending to be ;sleep ; but the latter, instead of displaying any anger, merely advised Byrne to escape, and, afterwards, when the wife in s isted upon 13 vra:e being taken into custody, denied all knowledge of him or that he hail let hint into the house, and positively refused to press the charge. It was proved that only the Spillers lived in the house; that the street-door was fastcued before the husband came home, and was also found fastened after the prisener Byrne had been admitted ; and though Byrno at first persisted in the truth of Spilkr's assertion, he afterwards, on finding that the depositions would be taken against him, voluntarily acknowledged that he really had beta admitted by the hus band himself. Notwithstanding this consiceing testimony, partly corroborated by the poliaeman, and a strong caution from the magistrate not to allow herself to be tampered with during the interval between the two examinations, the wife now, on her husband and Byrne being brought up for final examination, in an agitated manner expressed her convic tion of her husband's innocence, admitted that he had pro mised t 3 Le a better husband to her than ever, besought the magistrate to reflect that he was the father of her children, forgave him the violent assault she had committed upon herself, and finally expressed a peal tive and energetic determination not to appear against him, at the same time so wavering and suppressing her former testimony, as to render it almost salueless if she did so.— After a long crass-examination and defence by Mr. heritage, the solicitor for Spiller, Mr. Broughton ordered Byrne to be fully committed for trial en the charge of a criminal assault, with intent, upon Mrs. Spiller; but said that, with regard to the charge against the husband, it would be utterly useless to send him for trial with Byrne, as it was impossible to insure a conviction from any jury upon the evidence the woman now gave. It was quite obvious, and he entertained not the slightest doubt of the fact, that Byrne had been ad mitted into the house for the worst of purpeacc—lt is only fair to state that Mr. Heritage assured the magistrate his client emphatically denied the charge alleged against hint, and that had he not some conviction of the truth of his declaration, he would not have accepted instructions to I defend such a person. LAMBETII —G:toss Comsrot OP A LICENSED BROKER. —Same! l'icklact, a licensed broker, wu charged with vio lently assaultia;r. Mr. John Barker, of N 0.17, Cheltenham place, Lambeth.—lt appeared that Tickner had levied an execution on a n, art of the goods of the oomplainant for rent duo, as it was alleged by a previous tenant, and a dispute arose as to the legality of the proceeding. On Monday even ing, the priscner Tickner, accompanied byone or two others, entered the holm, and rushed up stairs. The complainant, who occupied the first floor, endeavoured to prevent them, when Tickner cut him on the face with a chisel which he had in his hand, and also drew a quantity of hair• from the complainant's head. The prisoner was drunk at the time. —Mr. Elliott fined the defendant 51., or in default, two months' imprisonment. GREENWICIL—Ti:r Tnrwry Sinw.inn.—Thomas Smith, the person charged with dishonestly appropriating to his own use two valuable shawl•, twenty-four boxes of arti ficial flowers, some beads, and other articles, which had been entrusted to him to bring from China, by Captain M'Llowell, of the ship Grecian, surrendered in discharge of his recogni.anees, fur further examination. It appeared that the accused acted in the capacity of steward, and had the articles entrusted to him by the captain to bring hetne, the health of the latter compelling him to remain in China. On the arricul of the ship in St. Katherine's clucks, a person named White went on board, to inquire for the articles, the captain's wife haying received advires overland of their haying been sent. The accused denied haying any such articles, bat a few days after stated that the ship had been robbed. and it was not till a month had expired that he recollected haying had the article. entrusted to him, and said he supposed they had been stolen with some other things belonging to himself. Mr. Elan% solicitor, who attended fer the defence, submitted that, as the captain had been left in China, and his thirgs sent on shore, the steward supposed the articles in question had also been sent. Mr. Traill thought the case suspicion., and oralcncl the accused to find bail in the sum of 80/. to appear at the nest sessions to answer a bill of indictment, if , it should be preferrid against him. MONEY MARKET. WEDNE,DAY E7NING. I The uncertain aspect of political atfeirs externally, with, unfortunately, the more alarming prospect of famine trou bles nearer home, still continue to weigh upon the stock market and depress prices. The funds opened extremely heavy, with Consols done at 9.5/ for money, but at the reduction some purchasers, though not of much amount, rallied them to 95A to A for money, and 921 to A for time, which were the quotations to the close. Exchequer Bills, 11.. to 14s. premium. India Bonds, 29a. to 235. premium. Bank Stock for account, 210 to 12. The Peninsnlar bonds commanded the most attention in the foreign housn, but the transactions in them were of not much importance. The dealers and speculators are anxiously watching the course of events in Spain and Portugal as a guide to more decided action on their own pare. The par ticular feature was the fall in Portuguese, to 40 to 42, say about 1 per cent.

The market did not display much activity yesterday, but the prices, so far as English shares and scrips, were fairly supported in the main. Leicester and Bedford were rather lower, which might he expected as a reaction upon the late advanced quotations. So also some of the. Scotch lines, the North British, Caledonia, &c., which have lat terly been in demand at improved values. North Stafford shire were better. The French lines were much worse and scarcely salvable. Blackwalls were inquired for in the course of the day. and nrie: • became a stied., 11;gber. Sheeny tate . : trie cease of l'eisiness, however, a more active demand arose for them, and they were done at hi., equal to a rise of .; per share. It was reported, as accounting for this movement, that the line had heen disposed of to the Loudon uud Birmingham on advantageous terms after ne ' gotiations of some standing, and would become thus the last link of their purposed communication with the West India Ducks, &c. The sudden consummation may admit of &mid, fur in such an event the shares would scarcely have stopped Short at such a comparatively unimportant improvement. There was no change for the better in the Liverpool sharemarket ; on the contrary, some of the old stocks were quoted rather lower than on Tuesday, and the business done was trifling. At Manchester prices were still drooping, and little was done. At Leeds the market presented a dull appearance. The transactions were limited, and at declining prices. Leeds and Bradford declined 6 ; North Staffordshire, 53. per share. RAILWAY SHARE LlSTS.—Lownox, SEPT. 23.

Tootal, the deputy.chainn in, presided in the absence of Colonel Anson. The report of the directors stated that the meeting had been made special in order to ratify the two several agreements of the 23rd February aai 19th of June, 1013, by which the company became amalgamated with the South Saffordshire Company. The capital sto.k of the :mtal gainated company would consist of 945,11001., canins.ed of 78,750 shares of 121. each. Of these shares the Trent Valley, Midlands, and Grant Junction Company supply 33,01*, sal a 12 1 . share in the amalgamated compaay would accordingly be issued to each bolder of one 20/. scrip. The driven io of the antabminatell company would be eighteen in number, of whom the South Stafford. shire had already elected ten. Owing to the short time which had elapsed since the passing of the act, the directors were unable to lay before the proprietors any more correct statement or expenditure than the imperfect la-dance-sheet which they pre:duce:l ; the expenses, how_ . ever, although heavy, would leave a balance which, added to the amount : hand, would leave a large stun applicable to the construe tion of the line.
