Tits ROBBERY AT TABLEY.—Mr. MGill, who was so much injured by the violent attack upon him in the course of last month, has so far recovered as to be considered by his m attendant quite out of danger. liis assailant, Wright,t, preserves the same silence which he has hitherto maintained with respect to the commission bly of th depresae e robhery and atte m pted murder, but &pram criasiderad in spirits since his confinement in OLK. gaol. SUFF Drava IN Patscos FORA LAWYER'S 11/LL.—AR Inquest was held at the gaol, Bury St. Edmunds, on Tuesday, upon the body of Mr. W. Sy rett, late crail-contractor, a prisoner on the debtor's side. The coroner, in' pening the proceed ings, said he held in his hand a paragrh from a newspaper giving an account of an application made ou the 6th of October, on behalf of the deceased, to Mr. Commissioner Evans fur his discharge, on the ground of ill-health. Affi davits were put in from medical men showing the state he was in, and he believed that the governor , no exertion' we re wanting on the part of Mr. Macintyre, to enforce th e necessity of his discharge. But there were other parties than the law of the land to deal with : he hail a creditor, who insisted on his detention, merely be cause he hail not had an opportunity of answering the affidavits, just as if the respectable surgeon and governor of this gaol would have made false affidavits to procure his release! The conuntesioner stated that he could not interfere, in consequence of the absence of an otherot com missioner wlao had pr eviouray adjudicated in e and thc result was that the poor man had been allowed to die within the walls of the gaol. Had he been a prisoner on the other side of the gaol, an investigation and representation would have been made by the magistrates, and he would have ob tained his discharge. There was a wide difference in this case. If the powers of the commissioner had been humaaely exerted, there wou ld have been no necessity for this inquiry th e deceased had had a ling erin g illness for some time, an; d he would have died amongst his friceds, and the law would not have been subject to the animadversions now likely to be made upon it. These matters did not immediately be long to the jury, but he thought that much good was likely to arise from their being agitated in a case like the present. C. C. Smith, Esq., sorgeon to the gaol, stated that deceased had been under his care since the let of March last, at whikle ch time he was a prisoner on t he debtor side of the gaol. believed he tottered from disease or C's. lungs and liver. Witness kad within the last two months written three or four strong certificates that the deceased was getting worse, with a view to procure his discharge. The diesse arose from perfectly natural causes. Ile had everything he wanted from his friends, and appeared to have evi ry com fort in the gaol.--Mr. P. Maeintyre, governor of the gaol, stated that the deceased came into the prison on the 14th of February, at the suit of Robert Galeworthy, of Ipswich, to satisfy a debt of 861. Bs., and interest tnereon.—The Coroner: A. lawyer, gentlemen ! I hope he is satisfied now. Mr. Macintvre continued: Syrett's health began to fall off soon after he came in. Witness went up with him to the Court of Bankruptcy on the Ist of July. At that time the application was opposed by Mr. Oalsworthy, and another hearing was fixed. Witness told the Commissioner that he thought there were two reasons against Syrett's coming up strain: the first was, that his health was falling off, and that be (Mr. Macintyre) had had great difficulty in bringing him up at that time: and also, that he hail not funds sufficient. The Commissioner said he could not help that. An order was then made fora further examination; but Syrett's health was so bad, when the time arrived, that he could not go up. A certificate was sent up by the surgeon, which had no effect, and Syrett was ordered to be kept in custody, and to apply in six months. Mr. Smith said he saw Mr. Young, the attorney, and offered to go up to London to state the facts at hie own ex pense. Mr. Macintyre said there was another certificate given about a week since, which was to have been heard The Coroner said, on the other aide of the gaol a prisoner would not be allowed to die within the walls, however aggra vated his offence; therefore, he thought, with respect to one part of the gaol, the management was very satisfactory. With respect to the debtor side, he thought something should be done, in order to keep pace with the humanity of the day. Mr. Macintyre stated that, about a month ago, he wrote to Mr. Galsworthy, describing the state Syrctt was In, hut he received no answer. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death." SHROPSHIRE. A VERDICT OP MANSLAUGHTER was returned by a coroner's jury, on Monday, against James Smith, for causing the death of Sarah Hill, by striking her a blow on the sto mach. The culprit was a carpet weaver, in the factory el Messrs. Southwell, of Bridgnorth. laustt. A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. — We find in the Gazette Musicale, the report of a commission appointed by the Director of the Conservatoire to examine into the merits of a new instrument, called the Baryton. The members of the commission, MM. Auber, Halevy, Panseron, and Meifred, express high satisfaction with the invention, which is by M. Lacome du Havre, and appears to be of much im portance. The Baryton is an instrument of the violin tribe, and is midway:in size and compass between the viola and the violoncello. Its four strings are tuned octaves to the cone sponding strings of the violin ; and its compass is thus lower by a fourth than the viola, and higher by a fifth than the violoncello. It is held and played like the latter instrument, so that violoncello performers can easily play upon it. Its tone has a special timbre, which strikes the ear, and is perfectly distinct from those of the viola and the violoncello ; and thus (say the reporters) instrumental music has acquired a new organ, which, in the quintet and the quartet, will vary the effects and add a new speaker to the dialogue of instruments. It is evident, to., from what they say, that to the violoncello player, it will be a precious addition to his own instrument ; for, from its being strung exactly an octave below the violin, it will throw open to the player all the beautiful music, written for the pianoforte and violin, by Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, and many other great masters. From the opinion of this instrument, proceeding from such high authority, there is little doubt that it will soon come into general use. On Thursday, the remains of the composer Chern bini were removed from the tomb in which they were temporarily laid to the monument raised to his memory, which was designed by M. Achille Leclerc, of the Institute, and sculptured by M. Dumont, also a member of the same body. The figures which adorn it represent the muse Clio crowning the illustrious master of music. This ceremony was attended, besides the family of Cheruhini, by a numer ous body of eminent masters of the same art, by members of the Institute, by Professors of the Conservatoire, and by other notable personages, as well as the friends of the deceasc.l. During the performance of a low mass, the four corners of the pall were borne by Messrs. Halevy, Raoul Rochette, Auber, and Vogt. The monument stands appropriately surrounded by those of Telma, Lissueur, Mlle. Bourgoin, Dehlle, 3lehul, the two Kreutzers, Martin, Bouilly, Paer, Bellini, Gretry, Ostel, Gomm, and others known to rime. Last week, on the occasion of the hundredth per formance of the " Mousquetaires de la Reine," an entertain meat was given at the Freres Provingaux, by M. Halevy and M. St. Georges, the authors of the music and the libretto, to the performers who had contributed to the suc cess of the piece, the manager of the Opera Comique, the principal officers of that establishment, and several jour nalists'. The evening was churmante ; thanks, no doubt, to plenty of champagne and reciprocal flattery. Benedict has returned to London, with the libretto of an opera which he is to compose for the Acaclimaie Royale de Musique. The dramatist is M. Hippolyte Lucas. On Saturday next, the Opera singers are to give a representation at St. Cloud, before the Court, in honour of the Duke of Montpensier's marriage. The opera is to be "Lucia,' sung by MM. Dupree, Barroroilhet, Bremont, and Maddle. Nau ; to be followed by " Le Diable a Quatre." danced by Mddles. Carlotta Grisi, Maria, and Plunkett. On the Vird, the Italian Opera Ringers will have the same honour. " Norma" has beers selected, the performers being Grisi, Corbari, Amigo, Corelli, and Tagliafico. ebe Drama. PRTNCESS'S THILATRE.—Mr. Scott appeared last might in Richard the Third, the most trying part he has yet essayed in London. Oar impression derived from his per formance is, that he has many of the qualities which go to form a tragedian, but has been much spoiled by a bad school. IL. has agood person, an expressive face, boldness and free dom of movement, great energy and considerable intelligence : but these Rood gifts are sadly marred by a coarseness and exaggeration of style, which savours more of the melo dramatic alaihitions of a minor theatre, than of the pure and Softy tragic stage. Tie play was performed watt all the interpolation& transpositions, and mutilations, which it has untie/alone fron the hands of Colley Cibber, and other thea trical cobblers, and which have obliterated every trace of Shakspeure from more than one-half of the piece, to make way for heaps of turgid fustian and clap-trap sentiment. Not a aiagle -scene, and hardly a single speech, was exempted from -same sort of " improvement." Throughout the play, in the ateenes which were Shakspeare's as well as those which were not, Mr. Scott's declamation was marked by a restless desiso to give some strong and marked meaning to every sentence . he uttered he was constantly employed in " making poin tea," in short, as if he were afraid that the audience could not understand the plainest passage unless it was rendered imp realism by emphatic delivery ; and the consequence was, that by striving to be always im pressive, he faded in being so when it was most necessary. His voice, we could dis. lover, is naturally rich, and capable of varied modulatl In; but his manner of de clamation seldom gives it fair pla Y. In constantly labouring to produce effect, he either strain. 'el it beyond its powers in violent pieces of rant, sufficient "is split the ears of die groundlings " or, when he wanted to be very impressive, spoke in a hissing' whisper, sufficiently audible certainly, but unnatural as well as unmusical. With athis, however, there were some excellent things in his actirg. In the scene with Lady Acne he was smooth and iosinstating, with an air of earnestness and sincerity which elude the lady's sudden yielding not altogether monstrous. This most diffi cult scene was certainly the most artistic put of his per formance; and Mrs. Stirling did her part is making it successful. Mr. Scott was good, too, in some of those violent bursts of passion where exag aeration is next to im possible; as in the exclamation, " Gi se me another horse— bind up my wounds," in which the extsamity of horror was expressed with terrible reality; cad in tte withering reply to Buckingham, "Thou troubled me- -I am not in the vein !" But unfortunately he exhibited equal violence in many 'other places where it was by no m sans called for. His concluding 'combat with Richmond, and death, was an exhibition worthy of Astley's theatre; he wits so long in being beaten, and so very long in going through tho motions of dying, that the patience of the audience seemed on the point of giving way. However, on the falling of the curtain, the applause, which had been considerable during the piece, was vehement, and still more so when he came forward to make Lk bow of eolutewledgmeat.

OTTLEY V. GRAY.—PRoTEcroa INSURANCE OFFICE.— I'sYmENT OP POLICY.—Mr. William Campbell Ottley being largely indebted to his uncle, Mr. Warner Ottley, assigned over to him. amongst other things as a security for the debt, a policy on his life in the Protector office for 491.; and the deed contained a power of attorney for War ne r Ottley to receive the money from the office, and declared that no inquiry whatever should be made by the company whether anything remained due on the security, it being the inten tion of the parties that the receipts of W. Ottley, his ems eutors, administrators, and amigos, should, whether any moneys were er not due on the security, be alone effectual. On I the death of W. C. Ottley, who by his will appointed his brother Henry his executor, Mr. Warner Ottley applied to the office for payment of the policy. The office having re ceived a communkation from the executor in9uiring about the policy, insisted upon Mr. W. Ottley obtaining about the currence to payment to him. This Mr. W. Ottley declined to do, on the ground that the deed authorbud hint to receive the money without the concurrence of the executor, and after some correspondence he filed his bill against the company for payment of the policy. The company having been advised by counsel that they were entitled to insist on the concurrence of the executor, refused to dispense with it unless they were indemnified by W. Ottley. This was re fused, and the executor being made a party to the suit by amendment, it was now brought to a hearing. The right of Warner Ottley to receive the amount of the policy was not disputed, but it was insisted that he was bound to pay the costs of the suit which had been occasioned by his refusal to procure the concurrence of the executor, or to indemnify the company. It appeared that W. C. Ottley was indebted to the compony, but they did not claim to deduct the amount of their debt from the policy. MOIR s ICCAArlasure vv. BLAIR V. BROMLEY.—LIAUILITY FOIL THE FRAUD OP A PARTNER.—MV. Bethell replied in this Lose, which was mentioned in our paper of Monday last. At the conclusion of the argument, His Honour, after observing that the evidence in the cause (even excluding, fur the present, the cheque which had been objected to) seemed quite sufficient to charge the firm with the sum of 4,5001., as received from the testator's estate, said the next question was as to the discharge. The firm being charged with the 4,5001. in October, 1829, would continue liable till discharged, and unless the liability was kept alive by some act of the parties, it would be discharged by the operation of the statute. It was material, therefore, to in quire whether there had been any acknowledgment, and if from the evidence it should appear there had been an ac knowledgment in writing by either partner, that fact, coupled with the payment of interest to 1839, would prevent the operation of the statute, and entitle the plaintiffsto relief. Had there been no dissolution, no doubt the liability would have continued ; and so had there been a dissolution but no subsequent employment of Wm. Bromley by the plaintiffs. The fact of the partnership not continuing would not die charge the joint receipt of the partners for the money, where the statute was prevented from operating by the payment of interest. It appeared, also, that the subsequent dealings between the plaintiffs and William Bromley could not have the effect of discharging the defendant. Another question was, whether the relief was in equity or at law. Prima facie, the relief was at law ; but fraud and misrepresentation were alleged a. a ground for the jurisdiction of this court. William Bromley had represented the mortgage to have been made, and had paid interest down to the latest moment, and it was upon the ground of that fraud that relief in this court was sought. The question, therefore, was, whether the fraudulent representations by William Bromley would m■ke the defendant, his partner, liable in a court of equity, though not otherwise liable at law. Upon that question he would reserve his decision till he had looked through the evi dence and the authorities. CONSISTORY COURT. FRASER V. FRASER.—In this ease, Mrs. Fraser instituted a suit against her husband, on the ground of his adultery, to which the husband pleaded in bar that his wife had been guilty°, adultery with Mr. Bagley. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser were mamed July 7, 1831, Mr. Fraser being a barrister-at-law, practising on the Western Circuit, and having chambers in King's-bench-walk, Temple. The lady was a widow of the name of Blair, and five children were the issue of the last marriage. Having fallen into embarrassments, Mr. Fraser left his wife in 1842, but that lady possessed a considerable fortune secured to herself. In enaction brought by Mr. Fraser against Mr. Bagley, a verdict was given in favour of the latter, and Mrs. Fraser then commenced the present suit. — Dr. Lnshington, in giving judgment, said that the present proceedings were commenced by Mrs. Fraser in the year 1844, and Mr. Fraser WAS called upon to meet a charge of adultery, alleged to have been committed in the Queen's Bench Prison. The Judge held that the witnesses in support of this snit had established the facts. It would be contrary to common sense, and against all legal decisions, to hold that the visits of a young woman to Mr. Fraser in the prison were for innocent purposes. The court was also of opinion that the adultery, at The Greyhound, and afterwards when Mr. Fraser and the young woman weed as Mr. and Mrs. Hart, had been proved. It was not alleged that ceudonation bad taken place. and it was not an immaterial circumstance that at the time Mr. Fraser was bringing the action against Mr. Bagley, on the plea that he had been guilty of adultery with Mrs. Fraser, the adultery between Mr. Fraser and Mary Ann Christie, the staymaker, was also proved. The court came then to the only real question in the cause. In February last a trial took place before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, which lasted four days. The defendant, Mr. Bagley, had a judgment in his favour. He (Dr. Lus`tington) was of opinion that the judgment ought not to influence this court in its decision, as hete there might be further evidence brought forward. As to the evi dence, therefore, in the Common Pleas, that must be dismissed from a U consideration, the verdict alone being borne in mind. The loarned judge then analysed all parts of the pleas, and contrasted witness by witness as to the visits of Mr. Bagley to Mrs. Fraser, and then the latter to the cham bers of the former, stopping there late, the allegations of her dress and hair being often disordered at such visits, her stopping out all night on one occasion. There was strong evidence of a great intimacy between Mr. Bagley and Mrs. Fraser, but, if the evidence was not sustained most fully, ~_~.~. Llhk. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1846. the wife was entitled to all discrepancies. The identity of Mrs. Fraser sleeping at Mr. Bagley's was not proved. The court could not bt.id Mrs. Fraser guilty but urea tome un doubted facts. f " intentions, or of indecent familiarities. The learnodinil'ie complained of the manner in which the exa milatior.s of the witnesaes bad been conducted, as tending to rene''. discredit on those courts. The court co and ind not hold fact of Mr. Bagley's handkerchief being fouXi's. Fraser's room, was of any consequence, as the former - was in the habit of playing at blindman'e-buff sigh her children. if there was any indecent acts proved against Mrs. Fraser, they would trai t th e see k against her. If the witnesses sp?lit".; to having hethat ard Mr. Bagley kiss Mrs. Fraser; if it were prove Mrs. Fraser came out of her bed!..iom without her stays to see Mr. Bagley • and if other facts alleged were proved, the court must holdthat the erivainal intent existed, and that adultery had been committed. The learned judge went over the statements of all the witne.ses, name by name, contrast ing. all the charges with other evidence to establish th: main point left for the decision of the court. It must be admitted, that were indecent familiarities proved, intent to commit adultery might be presumed. There might have been grounds for her jealousy—there may have been family quarrels—there may have been neglect on the pert of the husband, but with those matters the court, in a case like this, had nothing to do, unless to aid facts, alleged and proved, of the commission of adultery. These jealousies, these quarrels, these neglects, all flourished in full rigour before Mr. Bagley was introduced to the family of Mr. Fraser. The court now came to a most important part of the case—the evidence of Mr. Bagley. It rarely occurred that a wty so mixed up with a cause, such as this, was ex amined as a witness. But still he was a competent witness, whose evidence, however, must be watched with the greatest jealousy. Notwithstanding the high honour, and other feelings which animate the breast of a witness so situated, and having due regard for his oath, the evidence laid before the court might be tinged with par tiality, hence the court received it with caution. Still Mrs. Fraser must have the benefit of such denial that any adulterous intercourse had taken place with her. If the evidence of Mr. Bagley was all true, the charges against Fraser were false; and if falsehood had been sworn to, there was perjury. The court was of opinion that the charges of adultery made against Mrs. Fraser were not artablished, because it could not believe the witnesses; because they have not been confirmed in any particular by others the court could trust; because there have not been any improper familiarities proved; because the court thought that a conspiracy had been formed against Mrs. Fraser, which had suppressed the development of truth; because there was nothing to lead up to the charge of adultery ; and in acquitting Mrs. Fraser the court need not rely on the evidence of Mr. Bagley. The court could not refrain, in acquitting Mrs. Fraser of the gross crime of adul tery, from expressirg its opinion that she ought not to have allowed the intimacy with Bagley to have existed. Instead of resorting to Mr. Bagley for advice in her difficulties, she ought to have gone to her relations who were near at hand. Mr. Fraser, on the other hand, had abandoned his home, and left all to chance, while he himself was proved to have committed adultery. The court therefore decreed sentence as prayed by Mrs. Fraser, but reserved till next court day its decision as to pronouncing Mr. Fraser in contempt fur '4 the taxed costs. behaved in a very hear*Aris manner to revers' other persons. —Policeman 291 that he had no doubt if a remand w made for a few stays, he could establish other ca eca againstas Vr-JRSHIP STREET .— Among the number of ;nose who ''Lla some clue to the blankets.—Mr. Alderman remanded the case till Saturday. her, u:groere an l d esv o_ t b ear t :yraingly nk and incapable," were f ld' Pollee two IlldiTldUall dressed in the garb o so tees. r u ni b n e g in b g ro , u , brought before Mr :Bingham, the sitting magistrare o , defen dants suddenly emerge from a cab.

Mr. Bing ham, in discharging the defendants. said he hoped that they would hereafter make a better use of their liberty. The cer tificate of their discharge from the regiment was now pro duced, from which it, appeared that they had been six months only in it. The prisoners, whose manners indicated refinement and respectability, notwithstanding their outward garb and appearance, thanked the magistrate, and were allowed to withdraw. CLERKENWELL.—Mary Bell, a middle-aged woman, was charged by the parish officers of St. Pancras with having deserted and assaulted a child.—On Tuesday afternoon the prisoner went to St. Pancras workhouse with a child in her arms, and said, that about a month ago a woman came to her, and requested her to take charge of it for a short time, saying she would call for it in a day or so. The woman, however, never called for it, and being unable to support it, she took it to the station-house, when the parties there re ferred her to the magistrates at Marlborough-street police court, but they could do nothing for her. At length she determined on making application to the parish of St. Pan story was diacredited ; and being burthened by a child that slid not belong to her, she went to leave it at the workhouse, when she was given into custody.—An overseer attended and stated the particulars of the case, and the clerk to whom they had been previously related, in addressing the magistrate, de signated them as being "very peculiar."—Mr. Combo in quired of the overseer what he charged the prisoner with doing ?—Overseer : I charge her with the desertion of the child.—Mr. Combe : The child does not belong to her. You cannot legally or consistently charge her with deserting it. The overseer seemed disposed to differ with this view, and said she had been guilty of deserting it by dropping it at the workhouse door, and also with an act Of cruelty towards it. The prisoner had been twice before the board of the parish and the magistrates of Marlborough-street and Marylebone, and her story was not believed, as there was no doubt she was acting in collusion with the mother of the child, and knew where to find her, their object being to hurthen the parish with the child.—The prisoner positively denied this ; the woman was a stranger to her. She had endeavoured to trace her, but was unable to do so.—Overseer: Then if I can't charge her with desertion I will charge her with assault ing the child.—Mr. Combe : How did she assault it ? Overseer: She applied far it to he taken into the workhouse, and on being refused she threw it with violence into the workhouse, and hail it not h en that Mr. Cooper, the surgeon, who happened to be leaving the workhouse at the time caught the child, it would have been killed.— Mr. Combo decided that this gave a different complexion to the case, and he would deal with her for the assault upon the child, as she had acted violently towards it; " but," said Mr. Combs, " I don't know what you could have charged her with if she had laid the child quietly down at the workhouse, as it did not belong to her ; under the circumstances I shall order her to find bail for the assault, and inquiries can be made to trace the paten eof the chilil."—The prisoner was' then locked up, and the child, a fine little creature, about 16 months old, was taken to the workhouse. MARYLEBONE. Ilocossiso. Yesterday, John Graves was placed at the bar charged with having stolen nearly 401., the property of Mr. James Hawkins, a grocer resid'ng at Burficld, Berke —Prosecutor stated that, on the previona day, he came up from Peterborough by railway, and reached the Euston-square terminus about noon. He was a perfect stranger to London, and, on making his egress through the gates, he saw the prisoner, of whom he inquired the way to the Paddington station. Ile (prisoner) colon- Bred to show him, and they proceeded on together. They at length went into a public-house, where he paid pri soner ls. 61. for his trouble, and they had something to drink. While in the room, prosecutor fell asleep, and, on awaking, he found that his money-bag, which contained 38 sovereigns, a half-sovereign, and some silver, had been stolen from the side-pocket of his coat. The prisoner had also left the place. Prosecutor added, that when paying for the drink, he took some silver from his bag, and the prisoner had therefore an opportunity of noticing that there was a great deal of money in it —Curtis, 43 S, stated that, from information which be had received relative to the robbery, he felt satisfied that the prisoner was the man who was " wanted ;" and, on going to his lodgings, found him in bed. Witness took him into custody, and while he was dressing, he found between the bed and the sacking a bag, in which WeiC 331 sovereigns. The amount in question was produced by the officer, and prosecutor, on looking at the bag, said it was not his ; he, however, was quite certain that the prisoner was the man by whom he was plundered. It was further shown that the prisoner had upon a former occasion been convicted, and that he had been also charged at this court with robbing a sailor under circumstances nearly similar to the preceding. The prisoner's answer to the charge was, that the money was all his own, and that he had received it from a friend. who wished him to pay for a quantity of potatoes ; his friend was now in the country, and he was therefore unable to pro duce him at present ; his only reason for leaving the publ.c house, which was the Mint near the Paddington-station, was, that he was fearful if be stayed any longer he should have been unable to have walked home, as the prosecutor seemed to care not a pin as to what he expended in drink.— The prisoner was remanded till Saturday. WESTMINSTER. STABBING. —Anne Thomas was charged with stabbing Esther M'Cabe.—Prosecutrix stated that she entered the Castle public-house, Great Chapel-street, Westminster, on Sunday evening, and was advancing to the counter to get some refreshment, when the prisoner, with out any provocation, struck her a violent blow on the face. She inquired what she did that for? when prisoner suddenly raised her hand and stabbed her with a table-knife in the left cheek. Proeecutrix and prisoner both fell on the ground, where the latter made several other thrusts at her with the knife, and wounded her slightly in the arm. Prisoner was secured by those around, and proaccutrix conveyed to the Westminster Hospital. Prisoner was heard to say, a short time before prosccutrix entered the public-house, that she would stick the first person who came in.—A witness was called, who proved that the prisoner took the knife from her bosom, and inflicted the wounds as described. Prisoner, who had been drinking very freely, endeavoured to escape.—Mr. F. Wildbore, house-surgeon, Westminster Hospital, said the prosecutrix was brought in on Sunday night with a superfi cial incised wound, an inch and a half long, on the left cheek, near the car, which he dressed. There was also a slight wound On the arm.—Prisoner implored forgiveness, and the proaecutrix joined in the entreaty.—Mr. Burrell ob served that it was a very n rious off. nee, and it was his duty to send it for trial at the Central Criminal Court —Com mitted accordingly. LAMBETH.—ifory Ann 14 Blanc, a girl of colour, the daughter of a barber residing at 13, Webb-street, Portland street, Walworth, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of tit( sling a shawl belonging to her mother.— The prisoner's mother deposed that on Saturday last she left home fur a short time, and on her return she missed both the prisoner and her shawl, which she had placed on the chair on her leaving home, and from that time until the night before she had not seen the prisoner.—The prisoner said her mother had lent her the shawl, but this being denied by the mother, she was fully committed for trial. WOOLWICH.—ATTESTATION OP RECRUITS.—A born badier of the Royal Artillery brought a gunner to be attested before Mr. Jeremy, but it appearing that the man bad been already attested, Mr. Jeremy inquired the reason of bringing the man to be attested the ascend time ?—The gunner stated he had been several months in the regiment, that he enlisted under an assumed name, that his proper name was Michael Farrer, and that he had declared upon oath at the time he was attested that he was a single man, being at the same time a married man.—Mr. Jeremy informed the non-com missioned o ffi cer that he could not sign the attestation papers. The Mutiny Act said that no recruit was to be attested until he had been twenty-four hours enlisted, nor after he had been enlisted forty-eight hours, and the commanding officer, if he wished the man to be attested again, must first legally dis charge him, and if the man was willing to enlist again 111 his proper name, he would then swear him in, hut then there would be a difficulty, as uo married man was supposed to be enlisted in the army. MONEY MARKET. WEDNESDAY EVENING. The stock market has been in a quiescent state all day, without more fluctuation than the difference between buying and selling prices. Consols have been 941 buyers, and 944 to 1, for money and account all day, with very little dealing. Reduced Threes, 931 to 1. 'three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 951 to 1. The government broker made his usual purchases in 31 and 3 per Cents. for the savings banks and the sinking fund. Exchequer Bills, 9s. to 12.. prem. In foreign stocks the transactions were entirely unimpor tant, and in the more speculative stocks little more than nominal. Mexican, 211 to 21. Spanish Fives, 251 to 61; the Threes, 371 to I; Deferred, 161 to 161 ; Passive, 51 to 1 ; Danish, 86 to 8. Portuguese, 36 to 8. Belgian, 941 to 51. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 59 to 1; the Fours, 911 to 2. The Court Circular report of an interview yesterday of the governor w d deputy-governor of the Bank with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, has attracted some attention in the City, as one of those signs of the times which cast their shadows before. The conjectures of course are various as to the material objects of this meeting between the gravest financial authorities of the country. But there can be little doubt that the state of the Exchequer bill account between the two exchequers must have been one, if not the most im portant, item in the account. The Bank, it is understood, is a holder to a very large amount cf these securities against ad vances to the Treasury. Under present circumstances, and with something more than a breeze gathering apparently a-head, it behaves the Bank to look to its securities, with a view to their availability when desired, or on any emergency. Now it is quite clew that, at the present small ruling rates of premium on Exchequer bills, bearing three halfpence per day interest only, no quantity worth notice could be thrown upon the market without crewing a confusion of valt.es. To speak more plainly, sales of Exchequer bills to the amount of one or two hundred thousand pounsis might reduce the premium to a discount. For government credit thin would be a deplorable position. For the Bank, loaded with these securities perhaps, and under the absolute not having paid BAIL COURT. HAWKER AND OTHERS V. HALL.—RAILWAY COMMIT TEEMEN.—Mr. Martin showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Carrow in this case, for judgment in case of nonsuit. It was stated by an affidavit that the action was brought against a provisional committeeman of a railway company, and the cause was entered for trial at the last Lancaster assizes; but as several similar eases had been tried, by which it appeared that the law was in a state of great uncertainty, inasmuch as verdicts were found under exactly the same circumstances, at one time for plaintiffs, and at others for defendant•, rules to show cause why new trials should be had had been granted, and were still pending; by the advice of counsel the record had been withdrawn.—Mr. Martin slid it was now matter of history that Mr. Justice Cress well, before whom the cause was act down, had taken a different view of the law in these cases to the other judges He (Mr. Martin) and Mr. Atherton therefore advised their clients not to try the case, but lo wait till the law was decided. He hoped the rule would be discharged, on a peremptory . undertaking to try at the next assizes. Mr. Justice Patteson : The law is certainly unsettled. I doubt if you will get a decision before the next assizes. Mr. Martin : There is • case of Gresham v. Worth, in the Queen's Bench, which will be argued before that —Rule discharged.— The court rose before 11 o'clock. SECONDARIES' COURT. Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Special Jury. Pirtle v. VINES.—This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in an action to recover compensation for the breach of an agreement. The plaintiff, Mr. Hugh Pyke, is an agent and negotiator and the defendant, Mr. Samuel Vises, is a corn-merchant. In Match last, being in want of a partner, the defendant advertised for one, and in reply to one of his advertisements. he received a letter from the plaintiff, inti mating that he would be glad to treat for a partner for the -defendant in case the advertisement failed. Upon this the defendant instructed the plaintiff to procure him a partner on these terms:—That 5 per cent. on the whole capital of the new firm should be paid to the plaintiff, but if he failed, he was to receive nothing. A partner was procured, who paid into the concern 2,0001., with a promise of more if the busi ness required it. The defendant supplied 1,0001., and it was an agency claim of M. per cent. on the sum of 3,0001. that constituted the ground-work of the action.—Mr. Pyke's son swore to these facts. In cross-examination he said he was an ex-barrister. The fifteen judges had confirmed his expulsion, and he had now a petition to the House of Commons pending on the subject.—Mr. Serjeant Dowling having addressed the jury in mitigation of the damages, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1021. 3s. itYLAI.ID V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY CON PANY.—This case was withdrawn upon its being called. The plaintiff is Mr. Ryland, the banister, who had retained Sir F. Thesiger in his behalf. The action was to recover com pensation for an injury sustained through an accident on the defendants' line of railway. COURT OF REVIEW ET-PARTE MORRIS—RE WILLIAMS AND SAWTELL— COSTB OF ISSUING ANNULLED FIAT ALLOWED TO PETI TIONING CREDITOR UNDER EXISTING FIAT.—The bank rupts married two daughters of a provision merchant at Gloucester, named Phillips, and, after his death, carried on his business, under the name of Phillips and Co. It was generally supposed that his widow was also a twiner in the business, and, upon this supposition, a fiat was issued against her and her sons-in-law. This fiat was afterwards annulled for want of trading on the part of the widow, and a friendly fiat issued, under which the petitioning creditor, who sued out the former fiat, was chosen creditors' assignee. He had instituted investigations with reference to the former fiat, by which, he allered, benefit had arisen to the estate, and he now asked to be allowed the costs of his former proceeding. The commissioner (Mr. Serjeant Stephen) was favourable to the claim, but thought be had no jurisdiction to make the allowance. Mr. Roxburgh, in support of the petition. cited " ex-parte Cousins " (2 Glynn and Jameson, 270) and " ex ' parte Christy " (3 Montagu and Ayrton, 90). The Chief ' Judge said it was • new case. All he could do was to direct that the commissioner should be at liberty to allow the costs of the proceedings eo far as the estate had bene fited by them. COURT OF COMPENSATION.—SotrotwAnx. THE WARDENS AND COMMONALTY OP THE CARPENTERS' COMPANY, CLAIMANTS, AND THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAIL WAY COMPANY, RESPONDENTS.—A Special Session was held at the Town-hall, yesterday, before the Recorder, Alderman Johnson, and the High Bailiff of Southwark, as a Court of Compensation, under one of the numerous acts of parliament obtained by the South-Eastern Railway Company for ex tending and altering the several lines of railway under their control. So long back as the year 1651, a person named Reed, then belonging to the Carpenters' Company, be queathed by his will to the Wardens and Commonalty of the Company, certain land and premises in Bermondsey, then known as Naked Boy-alley, upon certain trusts for the payment of annuities and other charitable purposes, and in the year 1791 the company agreed with one Richard Woodyear, on consideration of his laying out a sum of 5001., to grant him a lease of the premises in question, at a rent of 211. per annum for 61 years. Woodycar dying some time after, the lease in 1791 was granted to his executors, of which lease there are now 14 years to run; the present public-house was erected, which was afterwards let by the lessees to tenants on under-lease at 801. per annum, and abort 1839 the railway company, their line passing close to the house, became the owners of the under-lease, and relet it to tenants at 601., but owing to the non performance of the covenants of the lease, John Wood year, the party then entitled to the reversion in the lease, brought an action of ejectment against the company and recovered possession, although it appeared that a sum of upwards of 3,0001. had been asecrsed by a jury, and paid to the outgoing tenant, and the premises were again, in 1842, let to John Oman, at a premium of 2001., he building three cottages in the rear, on lease for 16 years, at a rent of 601. per annum. This lease the Eastern Countiesßail way had again porchase't, and now sought to satisfy the claim of the freeholders, the Carpenters' Compa, who had sent in a claim for compensation amounting to 2 ,lool.—Evidence having been adduced on both aides, the jury retired, and after being absent half-an-hour, returned a verdict for 1,800!. being 9001. leas than claimed by the Carpenters' Company. POLICE.—yESTERDAY. G C I LDHALL.—Ta Err AND Folio nay.—A well-dressed, good-looking woman, whose maiden name was Louisa Buck land .4ppleyard, and who had been lately married to a foreigner of the name of Dulstane, was brought up before Mr. Alderman Musgrove, charged with theft and forgery. —A respectable man of the name of Fuller, residing in Shoe-lane, said that Dulatane, at the time he married die prisoner, resided in his house, and that he continued to do so after his marriage. The union was not, however, a happy one, and Dulstane left the prisoner. She told him (the witness) that she was a native of Crookhorn, and that her friends were respectable, and would willingly pay him for her board and lodging. She accordingly forwarded several letter to them, and so plausible was her manner that also gained his entire confidence ) and he paid a bill for clothes for her, as she said she expected a respectable situation. lie discovered, however, that the letters which she sent to her friends were again procured by the prisoner, and that she and a man of the name of Arm strong, who resided in Union-court, Holborn, manufactured feigned answers to them. The prisoner disappeared, and went to reside elsewhere. He gave information to the po lice, and she was apprehended.—Mr Alderman Musgrove said it was a very bad case, but there was no evidence be fore him to sustain a charge of forgery.—A Mrs. Gibbs said that the prisoner had lived in her house, and had stolen two blankets.—Serjeant Brennan said that the prisoner was ex amined at Worship-street on the latter charge, but as the blankets could not be found she was discharged.
