Soma of the details of management were better carried eat yesterday, arid the event+ were run off with greater punctuality, but at the same time there was a want of regularity, sad the committee must next year remodel their programme, and make an alteration in the staff of officials.

RATIN° Or FACTORIEI iirkinr; THE DISTT.EV4.- 41 ease of appeal against a rate was beard at the Hyde petty memos on Muoday, and it is cf considerable iin porta ors during the present depression of the cotton trade.

The simple facts of the case were that the mill i. a new one, only partially filled with machinery, and whiA has not started working in consequence of the depression of the cotton trade. Norm of the rooms were wholly num:copied, but shout ono-fifth of the space in the various rooms bad no machinery therein. The overseers held that the mill was rateable to its full value, whilst the appellants held that the mill was merely♦ occupied as a warehouse or store bort.e. and 'timid be rated accordingly. Mr. Tinker, the nutborised assentor for the township, had estimated the rateable value, supposing the mill to be fully occupied, at 173/. re., if partbdly occupied at 1244, and if used as a warehouse only at 103/. 10s. Mr. CoppoFl: urged that the set of parliament giving the magistrates Jurisdiction to bear the appeal was only on the grounds of " inequality, unfair 's', or incorrectness," none of which terms applied to the present case. He admitted the hardship midst which the appellants laboured, hot the rates ware a necessity, and aunt be provided, sod the law had uniformly been that partial occupancy did not exempt the occupier from his liability to pay the full rate. Mr. Brooks contended the win was only let to Memo. Collier for warehouse purposes, sod urged that the act provided that the rate must be on the amount that the mill could reasonably be expected to islet at at the time the assessment wax made. In this case the engine-power was rated, and they had never bad one &Male tars of the engine during their occupancy, yet the rate was as if the engine had beim at full work, which cer tainly was not fair. After a abort comaltatiou the rate was confirmed. Under the circumstances, Mr. Coppock did set ia-k for mots. THE FORGERY ON THE BANK OP ENGLAND. A refrrreclably-dreased, genteel-looking young man, about 19 or 20 years of age, who at first gave his name as George Samuel Stokes, and who was brought up • few days back charged before Mr. Alderman Challis with having feloniously forged and uttered an endorsement to a bill of exchange for 2,0001. with intent to defraad the governor and directors of the Bank of England, was yesterday again placed at the bar to undergo • further examination. Mr. Alderman Challis again sat for the Lbrd Mayor. Mr. Darley. a solicitor from Dublin, attended to watch the case upon behalf of the Barak of Ireland. The details of thews were given folly upon the last ex. imitation, and it will be remembered that on Thursday last, at about half-past ten, the prisoner went into the public drawing-office of the Bank of England and presented a draft, drawn by the Bank of !rebind, and signed Wm. Patten, for 2,000/. It was directed to the cashier of the Bank of Eng land, and made payable on demand to the order of John Johnson, Esq. The draft was examined by Mr. Gough, the cashier, who passed it to another clerk, and the prisoner ultimately received the 2,000!. in Bank notes. It appeared that shortly after the prisoner went into the issue de partment and asked for gold for five 1001. notes. The clerk ooticed that they had been paid that morning, and he communicated with Mr. Cough, and he upon referring to • book ascertained that the five notes bad been given across the counter, with others, in payment of the bill in question. It was then notiond that the eudorse meet on the notes was "George Stokes, 11, Cheapside," and Mr. Gough went into the issue department, and there again saw the prisoner. He asked him how it was he had endorsed the bill "John Johnson" when he had endorsed the notes " creorge Stokes." The prisoner denied that he had written the endorsement at the back of the bilL lie was then handed over to detective officers Scott and Russell, who took him to the manager's room, where he was asked to explain the matter, which, however, he declined. He was searched, and the officer. Mosa, found in • pocket-book which the prisoner had about him, 904 in notes and 2/. lfie. in gold and silver. In a satchel], which he wore suspended from hie shoulder, Russell found 1,500/. io notes, which were identified as the remainder of those which were given him in payment of the bill. After lie wu taken into custody, while in the cell at the Mansion-house awaiting his examination, be told the officer, Moss, that he thought he had better tell ch., whole truth. He then stated that his name was not Stoker, but that it was George Wilkie. and that he was a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Page and John, stockbrokus, in Dame-street, Dublin. and that on the previous day he had taken a cheque from their book, filled it up for 2,0001., and took it to the Bask of Ireland, where he got the draft on the Bank of England in exchange. He left Ireland the same night, and arrived in London the morning he was ap prehended. Upon that the prisoner wu remanded until yesterday, and in the meanwhile communications were made to Dublin, and yesterday • Philip Craven, inspector of the Dublin Metropolis Police. attended and produced a warrant signed by Geo. Wyse, laq., a magistrate of that district. for the apprehension of George H. Wilkie, upon a charge of uttering, on the 20th of August, a forged cheque for the payment of 2,000/., knowing it to be forged, and with forging the same with intent to defraud the Bank of Ireland, and on that warrant he asked that the prisoner might be delivered up to him. Mr. Goodman, chief clerk, asked the prisoner if he admitted being the person alluded to in that warrant. The prisoner, in a scarcely audible voice, replied that he did admit it. Mr. Goodman then informed Mr. Darley that Mr. Fresh field, the solicitor to the Bank, had suggested that the money should be paid into the Bank, and Mr. Darley could communicate with him if he wished for any information. Mr. Darley said he was quite agreeable, and that that course should be The prisoner was ordered to be con vey ed to Dtlbli THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 28, 1862. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 27. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor sad a Special Jury.) GRUNDY AND OTHERS R. ESIIRENI AND OTHIJUL -ALLIOND COMMERCIAL IMMORALITY IN MANCHIMTER. The plaintiffs sought to recover the value of a quantity of goods which were obtained from them by a firm in Man chester known as Dalton Brothers and Heap, a n d w hi c h h a d come into the possession of the defendants under circum stances that did not, it was alleged, divest from the plain tiffs any property in the goods. Mr. Temple, Q.C., and Mr. Milward were counsel for the plaintiffs, Moors. Grundy, Kay, sad Co., manufacturers, of Mauchester ; Mr. Barjeant Shoe (specially retained), Mr. Edward James, Q.C., Mr. Pope, and Mr. Fonwick, appeared for the defendants, Jamb, Edward, and Rudolph Behrens, also in business in Man chatter. Mr. Temple, in opening the case, add if a man went to another, and by fraud obtained from him goods under pre tence of a purchase, in that case the property did not pers. The degree of fraud necessary to constitute a claim of this kind to have goods returned had never been accurately defined ; but this he thought was pretty clear, that if it could be made out that there wu some thing in the nature of a conspiracy between two parties to obtain goods from a number of individuals without a fair and reasonable prospect of paying for them, and in order that those goods might be transferred from one to another at a considerable loss—inasmuch as, that in order to carry out that conspiracy the one party was constantly making purchases at a certain sum, and the other party, knowing what the other was doing, was as constantly making pur chased from him at a lower rate, then he (the learned counsel) submitted that that that was an amount of fraud which would he evidence of a general conspiracy to defraud, entitling the persons from whom the goods were obtained to recover them, the property not having been divested. The learned counsel then at considerable length explained the grounds upon which the action was brought and the circumstances under which the goods in question were sold by the plaintiffs to Dalton Brothers, and in turn disposed of by these persons to the defendants. Dalton Brothers bad been in business since 1837, when the firm was coosti tuted with an apparent capital of about 3,000 L, and in June, 1860, a person who had previously been in their employ ment, named Heap, was taken into partnership. The firm was in good credit, their secret embarrassments being then unknown in Manchester. They were struggling with difficulties, and endeavoured to get cash by all means in their power, to meet coming liabilities, bill falling due, and in order to tide over their difficulties. Their business as calico printers was confined to baying grey goods and printing the cloth ; but it was no part of their trade to deal in and sell grey, or unprinted, cloth ; and it was contended that every person in the trade must have been aware of this system. Dalton and Heap bad, however, purchased grey goods from various firms, awl it would be proved that they transferred a great amount of the property in its imprinted state to Behrens, at a lower price than was ruling in the market. Mr. Temple went carefully through the nature of the evidence be would adduce, with the view of showing the complicity of Behrens with Dalton. and Heap, and urged that he was entitled, in order to support the charge of conspiracy, to call evidence as to the general system of dealing between Daltons and Heap and their customers on the one band, and Daltons and Heap with the defendants on the other hand, and that be should not be restricted to one isolated case. He believed it would be sufficient to show that Louis Behrens, who was not a defendant, though a member of the firm, as be was out of the country, sod could not be served with a writ, was aware that the goods were purchased by falling and desperate men to prop up, for a time, their credit, sod in the hope, not subsequently realised, of being ultimately able to extricate themselves from their difficulties. Day after day Louis Hebrew asked Heap if he had any particular kinds of goods ; if no such goo were in stock he suggested where they might be ob tained, and when the goods were procured by Heap they were immediately transferred to the defendants at a consi derably lower price than was paid for them, and at a price below the then market value. Dalton and Heap stopped payment in March. and after a proposition for arrangement bad been made they were adjudicated bankrupts; the plaintiffs were not paid the value of the goods they had sold to them, and as it was alleged the goods had paased into the bands of the defendants by fraud and conspiracy with the bankrupts, the plaintiffs were entitled, it was con tended, to recover the value of the property. Charles Hayward, formerly salesman for the plaintiffs, said they were sellers of grey goods and the firm of Dalton Brothers were calico printers. It was not in their line of business to sell grey cloth ; their business was to buy the grey goods, bleach and print them, and sell them es articles of commerce. On the 12th December he sold Dalton Brothers 3,000 pieces of grey cloth intended to be printed, at Ss. 3d. per piece, on the usual terms of the Manchester market. On the 17th of January, 1861, sold Dalton Brothers 2,000 pieces at Bs. 3d. ; on the 24th. 1,000 pieces at Bs. 3d. ; on Ist February. 2,000 pieces at Bs. 10. These sales were all effected through Heap, and the prices wore the rates ruling in the market at thou dates. In cross-examination the witness said Heap had asked for • little extra credit, and this indulgence was granted. Daltoas were in good credit up to the date of the last sale; and it was known that they were the sons of a retired calico printer, that they were respectably connected by marriage, and that they had • large establishment in Mosely.street, Manchester. The market about that time was depressed, and the demand for grey goods was not large. In re-examination he said he thought it would be very wrong to buy goods on one day and sell them the next at a loss. A difference of la. 3d. per piece was, he considered, a very great loss. John Poison, warehouseman for Grundy, Kay, and Co said • few days before the first sale of goods to Dalton; Louis Behrens came into the place and asked if they had anything to sell. He went over the samples of goods until be came to the lot afterwards sold to Dalton', when he asked the price and said Ms. 3d. was too much for it. Sub sequently he aptin called, refused to offer Ss. lid., and said he could get them lid. a piece cheaper. The 3.000 pieces sold on the 12th were delivered on the 13th of , I mbar, and the other lots in the ordinary course of business. _ _ William Kay, one of the plaintiff% said at the time Dalton Brothers stopped they were due to their firm for the goods in question and other goods as well. Before the bankruptcy they made a proposition to pay rm. in the pound. The amount of the debt was 6,2854, and witness agreed to go in for the composition under arrangement ; subsequently, however, the firm was adjudicated b a nk ru pt. William Heap said be went into the service of Dalton, in 1855 or 185 b, and became a partner in 1860. It was no pert of their buainess to sell gre goods ; they first commenced to sell grey cloth about November, 1860, and in two or three instances before they mold to the defen dants. la December, 1860. be purchased 3,000 pieces of grey cloth from the plaintiffs ; these goods were sold to Jaoob Behrens and Co., through Louis Behrens, on the same day that they were delivered, at 7s. per piece, Bs. 3d. being the price paid to Grundy, Kay, and Co. The first lot purchased io January was delivered to Behrens on the same day that Dalton' received the cloth, at a similar loss ; the lot purchased at Bs. lid. were sold to Behrens at 7s. This lot, be believed, was sold by bargain in the previ ous December ; and on the Ist of February they were de livered, on the day they (Dalian) received them. First saw Louis Behrens, with whom all the transactions were made, in the early part of December, on which occasion witness told him he had some printed jatmoettes for sale, which he would dispose of cheap for cub, as he had some bills to meet. Behrens in looking at the printed muslin, re fused to buy them ; but he saw some grey cloth piled in the cellar, and said "he could buy that and would pay cash for it." There were 2,000 or 3,000 pieces in the cellar, and he agreed to buy the whole. Witness told him the price at which he had bought the goods, and Behrens said he had paid too much, and that he would not give the amount. Had laid to Masers. Agnew for borne of the goods 9s. 6d. per piece, and sold them at Ba. to defendant ; to Mows. Sharpe and Thorpe he paid 9s. 3d., and sold at Be. ; linandring and Birches, 9s. lid.. sold at 7s. 83.: Forth and Marshall, Ba. lid., sold at 7s. 6d. Told him they were considerably under the market price, and that he must not offer the goods in the Manchester market. He said. "If I say I won't do it, you may depend el:atilt that ! will riot." In the interval between the date of his (witness) purchasing Drained@ and his selling them to the defendants the markets bad Linen 3d. to did. per piece, but at that time the market was steady. The terms of sal* to Behrens were cash oo delivery, less 2i per cent. discount. Behrens asked if he hail any more to sell, and he was told there were no more goods on stock, but there were some on order. He asked what were the goods on order, was shown the book io which the orders were entered, and marked those be was willing to purchase. The arrangement was that be should buy the lots he wanted upon the same terms as the first lot. Sub sequently Behrens called and asked if they (Dalton and Heap) tad goods of a certain description, intimating that he could bay them. As they bad none in stock witness sent to Walmby and to. for samples. These were shown to Behrens, and he was told the price they had bought them at was 10s. 10id. Behrens offered 10s., which witness took. i Behrens at the name time said he could buy another qua lity, and as they had none in stock be asked where they could get the goods. Behrens mentioned the names of several firms, amonpt others Cruody, Key, and Co. The same day he saw Mr. Hayward. that firm's salesman, and bought :t,OOO pieces, part of those in question. The price he bought them at was Bs. 3d., and the Same , day the goo d s I were delivered. Louis Behrens came to the place to *sambas them. He offered 74., which was eventually accepted. In the mouth of December witness went to the defendant's office, and Edward Behrens said, " Yon must not take it amiss if I ask eon Oquestion." He said "Certainly not," and he then asked if they (the firm) ware solvent, and witness said they were. In the afternoon of the same day he was again at their office offering some goods to Louis Behrens, when Edward Behrens came up and said. "Oh, I have been asking Mr. Heap if they are solvent." Louis was annoyed, and said, "He had no beanies to ask the question. What did it matter to them whether they are solvent or not. I buy goods at the best price I can get them, and it is nothing to anybody.' In the month of I February he made a contract for the sale to the defendants of about 6,000 or 7,000 pieces of different kinds, and in fulfilment of this cootrect he bought a lot from DllOOllll. Matheson, and Co., at fis. 3d. and sold them to the defendant at 7.. 3d.; from Climbers and Son, at Bs. 3d. and sold them for 7s. 3d. In the beginning of March the defendant, Louis Behrens, asked if he had any goods of the quality he described, and being answered in the captive, he su gges t e d that they might be obtained from several firms be moo tioood. Witness went to one of these firms, James Bay and Co., dreamed amigo from them, soot them to THE FATAL EASE OP SHOOTING A YOUNG WOMAN Ar DAZATON Yesterday afternoon Mr. J. Humphreys, the coroner, resumed an inquiry at the Lord Truro, Dalston, re lative to the death of Susan Dimmock, aged 18, who died from the effects of a pistol shot discharged by a young man, named Alfred Cleave, who has undergone as examination on the charge at the Worship-street Police-court. reported in this journal on Saturday last. The evidence adduced con firmed what has already been reported of this very melan choly case. It may be briefly stated that the deceased was an unfortunate girl, and had had a child. About 12 o'clock on the night of. the 21st inst., the deceased and another girl named Hawkins were seen in the toll.house, and Phillips, the toll-collector, left the house to take toll of a gentleman, who required change. Just at this moment, the young man Cleave, who is very respectably connected, left the Lord Truro, which is immediately opposite the toll-bar, and went over to the toll-house to get a case of instruments to show a friend. It would seem that a loaded pistol was lying on the desk, and unhappily Cleave took it up, and in a thoughtless moment said to the deceased girl, in a joking strain, ' Sue, I'll shoot you." The pistol was then discharged, and the girl dropped to the ground, and shortly expired, having been shot in the aide of h er head. Cleave expressed the deepest concern at what had happened, said that he did not know that the pistol was loaded, and voluntarily gave himself up to the police. It appea red that there was a fair in the neighbourhood, and toll collector had loaded the pistol in the course of the evening. It was stated that the toll-house bad been used as • resort I for females at night time. The Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Death by misadventure ;' and the coroner cautioned Phillips as to the practices that were alleged to have taken place in the toll-house. THI RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR RUGBY.

One seine off Meragissey is said to have Leen broken with about 40,000 mackerel. At Par there appears to he no end to them. On Friday one seine caught about 42,000, besides unknown quantities hy other seines. On Saturday the as tonishment was still greater ; fire seinm having opened in the bay, some of which were so near that parties were stand ing on the quay and throwing their baskets into the boats, buying the tish as they were being drawn on board, sod pot into the basket *dive. rMe seine was stretched soros' the entrance of the quay. and another spread outside for fear the first would break. As the tide recedes the sight is really extraordinary, there being a multitude shut within the harbour to wait the ebb of the tide, when it is only ne cessary to fill the baskets and bring them on shore, without the aid of hosts. Mackerel hate been sold from the boats at four for one penny.—A -- cetera Morning Heirs. Souse of the Paris journals relate the following extraordinary history :—About a dozen years ago a man, rather shabbily dressed, but bearing an sir of distinction, entered a cafC . of modest appearance in the Faubourg St. Germain, and asked for a cup of coffee and a roil. This he swallowed rapidly, as if pressed by extreme hunger, and then slowly retired, without however seem i ng t o avoid the demand for payment. The waiter, stupi6ed, hastened to inform his nastress, a widow burthened with a family, but a kind-hearted woman, of what bad taken place. The latter, who had observed the air of dejection of the stranger, imme diately replied, "It is all right, I ho-,w the gentleman." The next day the stranger returned, asked for the same things, and retired in the same manner without paying. This con tinued for about two months, after which he was seen no more. About a mouth ago the widow was invited to call upon a notary to receive a sum of money which had been left to her by wilL She could not believe her good fortune, and thought there must be nom° mistake, when the notary afforded her an explanation by reading the followintitraot from a will which he held in his hand :—" I moth 60,000 fr. to the widow —, proprietress of a cali 'ring the address), to thank her for her generosity in giving me a breakfast every day for two months, without demanding payment, which it was then impossible for me to make. I was then is misery, but since, fortune having smiled on Me, it is only just that I should pay for the sixty breakfasts to which I owed my life." Another instance of death caused by the sting eta earrion•9v hes occurred :—" M. Lemmatise." says the Animal du Harre, " who farms the estate of Losignedalle, at Gaillefontaine (9eine•lnhrieere), war so smog a few days aaggoo. The mod alarming symptoms soon declared IMnelvas, and in spite of every care that could be paid to him, nothing could stop the programs of that frightful mall► the carbuncle. M. Levassenr died two days duce at the age of 52, leaving eleven children, the youngest only four mouths old." Behrens warehouse, and Behrens, being told that 9s.was the price, said that was too much, and offered 7s. 3d. Witness agreed to sell at that price, and then went to James Kay and Co., and bought the cloth ; the cloth was delivered to their (Walton and Heap's) warehouse, and then transferred to the defendant's place. Behrens said he could take another quality, and witness went to Mews. Forth and Marshall sod William Wisely and Co. ; Wisely's price was 10s. 44d., and agreed to sell them to Behrens at Bs. 9d. He got 500 pieces from Forth and Mondial' at 10s. 44d.. and sold them to Behrens at Its. 9d. ; Le actually paid Bs. W., claiming an allowance of 3d. ' as he said the goods were light. The firm stopped paymen t on the 23rd March. Mr. Temple—From the 6th of December down to the last transaction in March Low many pieces did you sell in this way to Mr. Louis Behrens! Witness—From 20,000 to 25,000 pieces. Mr. Temple—AU at a loss? Witness—All at a loss. Mr. Temple—And will yon tell me whether it was or was not at the market price that you sold them ? Witness—Considerably under. The goods were gene. rally delivered to the defendants after dark, it being dark at that time of the year about four o'clock. The largest proportion of the goods sold to the defendants had not been paid for by the firm. Cross.examined by Mr. Serjeant Shee—The aontract price at which they bought the 20 000 or 25,000 pieces was 9,2001. ; the defendants had paid 7,958/. for them, making a difference between the two sums of 1,241/. When they failed there was due 33,0004 for grey cloths ; the difference between the amount sold to the defendants and the total amount they owed went to various printers. The total liabilities of the firm at the time they failed were upwards of 70,000/. He asserted that he was not aware of the insolvent position of the firm, but believed and hoped they would be able to tide over their difficulties. He did not intend to cheat the penom from whom he bought goods. He thought the difficulty was only temporary, and that they would be able to recover their position. When he was taken into partnership he stipulated for a fourth of the V. A balance-sheet was prepared each year, but he had subsequently found that the balance-sheets were en. tirely fictitious, and that one year he had been robbed out of 'M. the profits being stated at 1,300/., whereas they were 2, 5001. A portion of the amount received from Behrens, 2,400/., had not been accounted for in the books of the firm. He was sure he had paid the whole of the money over to the firm, but he could not account for it more particularly. . . . r The witisese was subjected to a long and searching cross examination with reference to the evidence which he had given in the various courts in which the affairs of the firm have been investig►ted, and to the position of the firm at various periods. lu re-examination Heap said the capital of the firm when he joined it was represented to be nearly 5,0001. He brought in no capital, but he had 601. to his credit in the books when he joined the concern. He had not appro priated to his own purposes a single shilling of the 2,4001. referred to in crow-examination. William E Patchett, apprentice in the bankrupts' em ployment, said that about the sth or 6th of December Louie Behrens came to the warehouse, refused to buy some muslin, sod offered to purchase the grey goods in stock. The wit neu corroborated the evidence of Heap's account of several interviews with Louis Behrens, at which he (Patchett) was press . .. • - Mr. Agnew and Mr. Thomas Orrell, a buyer to Mr. Sam Mendel, were examined as to the market price of grey cloths from December 7, 1860, to March 7, 1861. Before Mr. Orrell's examination was completed, the court adjourned until nine o'clock to-morrow morning. There are several witnesses yet to be examined on both sides, and the case is expected to het over Friday. An- other use against the same defendants, in which Mesas. James Kay and Cu. are the plaintiffs, stands for trial next on the list. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOITSE Jetse Redfern, conductor of an omnibus, No. 7,549, ap peered in answer to a summons taken out by Herbert Edward Wilson, charging him with having deceived him in respect to the route which hie omnibus was to take. The defendant pleaded guilty. It appeared that the complainant saw the defendant's omnibus near Blackfriars-bridge, and asked him if he was going to the Exhibition. The defendant said he was, but he was going to change horses at Earl-street, which would not take many minutes. The complainant got in with a lady who was with him, and, after changing horses, were driven to the Bank, where the defendant demanded a fare of 3d. each. The defendant in defence said that when the com plainant asked him if he was going to the Exhibition. he told him he was, hut be bad a lame horse sod be must change it, and that be must then go to the Bank first, but would not be there's minute, and that when the complainant arrived at the Bank, he said he would not go with him, and got out of the omnibus, in consequence of which he ch arged him the fare, but had he remained is and gone to the Exhibition be should nut have charged anything to the Bank. _ . The eotnplaio*it, however, positively asserted that nothing was mentioned about the Bank. Alderman Challis told the defendant be was liable to a penalty of 40a., or in default, one month's imprisonment. He said it was a very serious came. There were at present a great many foreigners about, and if the defendant were to give them the same answer as he bad given the complainant they would be much confused and inconvenienced. He fined the defendant 10a. and costa, making together, 13s. CLEItKENWELL. Reuben Beaumont alias John Jones, a rough determined looking fellow, well known to the police, was charged with violently assaulting and wetting a young man named Roberta, and stealing his watch. Mr. Wakeling attended for the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor had been spending the evening with his friends, and on return ing tome fell io with the prisoner and another man. They entered intoconversation, and ultimately went into a public hones and partook of some slight refreshment. When they left they all walked together to near Red-Lion-square, when the prisoner seized bold of the prosecutor by the neck, pinched him so tightly that he nearly lost his breath, and then struck him. Not contest with this violence the prisoner again seised the prosecutor round the neck with both his hands, whilst the other man stole his watch. They then both made off, but the prosecutor's cries for assistance were beard by police-constable Maynard, of the E division, who hastened to the spot, and whilst ad vancing in that direction, be met the prisoner hurrying towards him, nearly out of breath. He stopped the pnsoner and asked him what was the matter. and when the prisoner bad partially recoverd his breath, he said, "Oh, it is all right, I know nothing about that affair, or the watch." The constable, who had told him nothineof the matter, told the prisoner that he bad better go back with him, but this the prisoner declined to do until he was compelled. Ttlieu the constable and the prisoner got to the prosecutor, they found him is charge of another constable of the E division, Man insensible state. As soon as the prosecutor recovered, be at once identified the prisoner as the one who had as saulted him In cross.examinatioo the prosecutor swore positively that he was not drunk. He had not been drinking freely. He was taken so unawares that he could not resist the assault. He was certain that his neck was pinched. Police-constable Cook, 198 S, said the prisoner was a most notorious character, and had been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions on the charge of felony, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. He had not been long out of prison, and since he bad been out he had been the constant associate of thieves. The prisoner said he should reserve his defence if he wsa to be committed for trial. Mr. Harker maid the prisoner would be most certainly conimitted for trial, but (would now be remanded for the production of the oertificate of the former conviction. Henry Jones, Oise Edwin Bleay, a fellow well known to the police, was charged with assaulting Mr. Joseph Peck ham, clerk, of 3, Offord.reed, Islington, and stealing his watch in the Caledonian•road. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday night last he was proceeding up the Caledopian•reed when the prisoner with some other men came up to him and said, " What do you mean by kicking my friend `" There was no pretence for his speaking to him, and in a very few , seconds he found his watch was gone. He saw the prisoner running away, and although him (witness's) friends pursued him they could not capture the prisoner. The watch was broken off at the ring. The prosecutor's brother said the prisoner first unwed him of kicking the man, and finding that be had no watch, then accused his (witness's) brother of kicking the man, and stole him watch. Police.conetable Tompkins, of the N division, said the prisoner had before been convicted of felony. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner. MARLBOROCGH-STREET. Mn. Mary i;;;;;FNO.i,4s;;;Cilulteney-street, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for a protection order. She stated that about ten years ago her husband deserted her and went to Australia. She heard nothing from him for five years, after which her husband suddenly came borne, stopped as long as he pleased with her and than went away again.

He should commit biro for 14 days. WESTMINSTER. Edward Copley, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was charged with the following diagraodul assault upon a pohco constable. Police-constable Watson, 1117 B, said at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock he was on duty in the Fulham.road, when he was told that be was wanted at Mrs. Andrew's, the Black Lion, Oak ham-street. On going there he was told that the defendant hail broken a pane of glass and a heer-glass, and found him drunk. He was directed to turn him out by the landlady, and asked him to go quietly, upon which the defendant struck him a violent blow in the face with his fist. Wit ness told him that would not do, he bad better go away quietly, and put hie band upon the accused's shoulder to eject him, when the defendant seized him by the back of the head, and dashed his face against two panes of `lass, which were broken by the violence of the blow, and .ot.. num's face cut about, as could now be seen.

The first complainant, a fine-looking girl, said that her parents lived near the prionner's house, and she frequently saw him. On Monday m orn i ng s h e an d ano th er girl, about her own age, were going to school, and at the Spa-road Station they met the prisoner, who accosted them and took themes far as the London-bridge Station. The other girl then left them and then she and the prisoner got on board • stiamboat and proceeded to Waterloo-bridge, where they got out and walked to Islington. He was about to take her into • house, when a woman stopped them, and sent for a constable, who took the prisoner before a magistrate. She then stated that on Sunday morning she went to the prisoner's house, when he criminally assaulted her, and the magistrate sent the prisoner to this court for examina tion on that charge. The girl now stated that the prisoner entioed her and another girl into his house on Sunday morn ing and indecently assaulted her. In crame-exarninatiou by Mr. Hines, witness said she never Made any resistance, neither did she say anything about the assault until after be had taken her to Islington.

He gave her sixpence, and told her not to tell her parents what had occurred. This witness admitted to Mr. Burcham that the prisoner had on two previous owe ;ions treated her in • similar manner, and she never aid s word about it. Mr. Burnham observed that the prisoner was a disgusting old beast, but a 1 I the girls were over 12 years of age. and the law made them comentiog parties, therefore he must dis charge him. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN THE ISLE OP SHIPPBY.-EXAMINATION OP THE ACCUSED. . In consequence of further information having been received by the police of a character likely to bring home the charge to the two prisoners, William and Edward Johnson, father and son, who had been discharged for want of evidence, Superintendent Green, of the Kent county con stabulary, again apprehended the prisoners on Monday evening last, shortly after 8 o'clock, on the charge of having feloniously killed and murdered William Elliott, by shoot ing him with a gun on the 2.9 th of July last, at Minister, in Sheppey. When the superintendent t3lel them the charge, the elder prisoner merely said, "Oh, very well." The younger prisoner made no remark. Yesterday morning the two primmer' were placed at the bar of the county justices' office, at Sittingbourne, before Mr. E. Twopenny and the Rev. G. B. Moore, and the following evidence was given. Mr. Johnson, of Faversham, appeared on behalf of the accused. Thomas Gurfett (master of the National School,Minster) deposed—On Monday week, the 15th inst., 1 saw the two pnsoners, between . 7 and 8 o'clock, between the Bat and Ball farm—the place that used to be called the Old Black Cottage. I heard a cart passing, and I called out, " Can you give me a riue 1" A voice answered, "I cannot." It was dusk at the time, but I knew the voice. Wm. John son then said, " Oh, it is you, Tom 7—jump up." I said, " No, I don't want to ride now." He replied. " Get up ; and I did so. Directly I got up in the cart, I said. "I hope you are innocent !" Was. Johnson answered, " What do people say!" I replied, "Some any that you are inno cent, and others say iat you are guilty. For my part I have struck out that, according to the evidence given at the inquest, you were not the man, and I hope you are not." I said," So strong is the prejudice, that I was in °curer sation with Mr. Frost, as we were returning from the regatta, and talking of the murder, and I stated that I be lieved you could not be guilty acc ording to the evidence. Mr. Frost replied, ' Then I believe that you are as bad as he is, and that you bad a hand in it.'" When I mentioned this, William Johnson turned round, as we were sitting hack to back in the cart, and said, with much emotion, "The man I shot I never knew." I said, "Hold your tongue—bold your tongue." William Johnson was about to make some observation, when his son (the other pri. miner) said, "Father, father, hold your tongue. Do as Mr. Gurfett mays—bold your tongue." After some further con versation I said., " It is pretty well known whose gun was fired off on the night after the man was killed." William Johnson said. "Is it!—whoa was it then ? I replied, "Mr. Wright's." The prisoner said nothing in answer to that. Some further evidence having been taken, the prisoner■ were remanded for a week for the attendance of other wit nesses. ATTEMPTED MORDER_AIID SUICIDE.

She let him into her house, and he took a chair in the front room of the cottage, the returning to the bed in which she had been sleeping with another female.

She screamed loudly, and a neighbour, named Huggins , living under the same roof, rushed in to her assistance ; but the injuries which she bad sustained were so serious that she soon lost all con sciousness. When Huggins and the other persons who had collected began to recover from their alarm, they found that Roberts was standing in the room, also severely wounded and bleeding profusely. He ran upstairs, sod being pursued, was found crouching under a bed with a knife in hie hand, and in an insensible state.
