GAME pt Haxre.—Partridges are very plentiful in this county ; shout Barton Stacey, from Winchester on to But lington, Hicheldever on to Basingstoke, hence through the lower parts car " bottoms" to Overton, Whitchurch, Stock bridge, the Wallops, Broughton, Dean, and King's-Sent- I borne, the birds are very strong on the wing; in size, not to be known from the old ones. In many farts there appears to have been a second hatch or brood, at some are but jest able to rise on the wing, ere they ate forced to drop again. being very young and small, and it is feared by the lot of September they will not be sufficiently grown and strong to hate a entice of escape front the gun. The honourable sportsman will, of cows:, pass those by at first. In the woody parts of Voir county, from the Oakleys to Overton, &cram to liingaelerb, to Hursthourne Penton, Abbott's Ann, Clad fords, Whcrwell, Chilbolton, Crawley, and Sparsholt, hens are very numerous. Sportsmen will, tits refore, have all they can wish for—an abundance of game, clear fiel ds, and, it may be expected, fine and seasonable weather. THE REGISTKATION.—The revising barrister will have fax kits Oran usual to do this year iu Winchester, there hav ing been only twenty-nine borough objections made, of which twenty-five are against reputed Con-ervatives and four against reputed Liberals. Fur the first time for several years, says the local paper, the votes of the cathedral canons will not be disputed. The ut.ralscr of claims is not nume rous, awl nearly the whole of them arise front change of residence. - There have been no objections on either side made against any persons on the county lists. !Anon IMPOIETATto:y OP SPANISH CATTLE.—The Transit steamer, "Captain Whitworth, arrived on Wednesday night last, with'sixtraix horned cattle, front Spain. It is a revi val, says the Hampshire Adverliser, of the speculation which c mynenced immediately after the revision of the tariff, bit which then exhausted Spain of her superfluous stock. It was then said that a few years would exhibit a very dbTeratt quality and quantity of this stock, and cer tainly the present importation looks better than any preced ing it. The animals were turned out on the marsh adjoining the docks, and were without a bruise or blemish, and of a good healthy look. The captain said they had fallen cif con aid daring their voyage, not film want of food and comfort, but from fear, the continued jar of the paddles seem ing to disturb them more than, a alight heave of the vessel. The importers wanted 201. for picked beasts, and 161. fur inferior, fully English prices fur home stock. The captain could have sold the whole at Falmouth, if his orders would have permitted. The importati sus are ngreed for fort nightly, at a freight of 31. a head, and fur sir months. The first cost in Spain is about 7/. on an average, hut there arc the embarking awl lauding charges, Spanish herdsmen to accompany the bruits, cost by rail, and salesman's commis sion, to set off against profits. FrNENAL or LADY orasnacasskr... SHELLEY.—The remains of Lady Sl•elley, who died at Elcott House, Berke, were removed for interment in the ancient family chancel at Horsham. The funeral took place on Friday last, and the procession was Ise companied by a great concourse of the inhabitants. The same tribute of respect as observed at the funeral of Sir Timothy Shelley, Bart., was paid to her memory, all the shops being closed. For her charity to the poor, her kind services whenever they could be useful, and for her friend- ship with the families seated in the neighbourhood, the re membrance of Lady Shelley will be long held in the highest esteem. SrSSEX. Pecurdsn Retrorot:s Csannoxit took place at Shore ham last week. On St. Bartholomew's day divine service was held in the church as usual, when a young lady, who had become a convert to the preaching there, renounced the peculiarities of the Society of Friends, and was publicly ad mitted as a member of tho Church of England, by the Holy Sacrament of Baptism. EMT. Tnt HOP Ptstrrems in the neighbourhood of Gravesend are subjected to continual depredations, in consequence of the infl tx of strangers in that locality, and men arc in con sequence employed to watch the grounds, more particularly on Sundays. Added to the petty depredations of the visitors, others have been fiend to carry on a sort of wholesale plun der, by cutting the bine from the poles and then retailing the spria, to the multitudes who 'visit Gravesend. On Thursday last a watermun named Hughes was detected in carrying away the greater part of a bine from Craig's Farm, Ifield. lie escaped from the custody of the men who had him in charge while the constable went for handcuffs, and when overtaken he drew a knife and threatened to stab them ; hut he was ultimately secural. On Friday he was brought before the magistrates at Rochester, and held to bail to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions at Maidstone. The punishment for this offence is imprisonment for any term not exceeding three years, or transportation for fifteen or not less titan tea years. NAVAL. PLAN oc RETIREMENT. — Since the first publication of the contemplated plan for the retirement of naval officers. The Lords of the Admiralty have made the following altera tions. The first and second items remain as before, vie.:— - - plant— he rank of retired rear-admiral to be given by seniority to such applicanto from the 14.

The seventh is an alteration from what Ives previously the sixth. In the former plan it was stated that 'no flay proniotiw:t to take place until the plan of retirement is carried out." It now appears that there will be a flag promotion iu the eot.rse of the present year, the clause being; Seventh —The admirals' list not permanently to exceed 150 in num. be:, and to be thus distributed :—Thirty admirals, or ten of each squadron; forty-live vice-admirals, or fifteen of each aquatiron; and serenty.fire era r.armirals. or twenty-11.'0u( each squadron. But there ails be • flag promotion in tho cowrie of the preacnt year, in which ft.: , twenty senior °Meats upon the captain' list will be included. he seventh clause in the farmer plan, which is as follows, is now expunged entirely: "In the event of a general promotion, such officers as may Aare served the time required to qualify them for their flag to be placed on the active l is t of flag-officers ; and these not qualified for their flog to be placed - on the list of retired r ea r-admirals; the active mid retired lists not being in creased unlit they, shall, by deaths and other causes, be reduced to the original numbers of 1.30 or 100 respectively."

Gunswass'a Svorrr.—The cause of Guinness v. Friend was hears' before the Master of the Rolls on Saturday. Mr. Kenyon Parker, Q.C., applied fur an injunction to restrain the defend ant, a bottled porter dealer at Dover ' from selling as Guin ness's Stout malt liquor nut brewed b y Messrs. Guinness and Co., and from selling it in bottles with forged labels ;hereon. The plaintiffs, the well-known brewers of Dublin, have, fur many years past, been in the habit of shipping their stout to Mr. Moline, of London-bridge (their sole consignee for London and the eastern division of England), or to his order, and that Mr. Moline appoints agents, who sell the stout in bottles, with certain labels thereon, which are printed exclu sively by his order, and are by h im supplied solely to the agents, who are bound not to sell any bottled stout without such labels. It WM proved that the defendant hat been detected in selling considerable quantities of malt liquor of a very inferior quality as Guinness's Stout, in bottles with forged labels, being at exact imitation of Messrs. Guinness's labels, and containing& fae-simile of the signature of the firm. The Master of the Rolls compared the defendant's labels with the plaintiffie labels, and said Viet they closely re sembled each other, and that the plaintiffs were entitled to the order.—lnjuaction granted. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. EXTRAORDINARY CUM.—SECOND DAY.—The inquiry as to the state of mind of Mrs. Catherine Cumming, an elderly hely poesessed of 30,0001., which commenced ou Saturday at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, was resumed yesterday. Mrs. Cumming was again present. On the assembling (Atha court, Mr. Parry, for the alleged lunatic, made applicatton for an adjournmiint of the case, on the ground that he had been called upon at very brief notice, and that the solicitor who instructed hint hod mot had suffi cient opportunity to receive instructions from Mrs. Cumming, he having been only retained on Saturday, and then only at the dose of that day's preeeedinge, when he came to the court by accident. After a few observations, the learned commissioner thought the ease had better proceed under the learned counsel's protest if he thought proper. The letter (hulling Mr. Farron's letter) had had the date very ingeniously torn off; but that need not be discussed now. He s mild leave to the jury as to whether they would adjourn, but ho thouoht the better course was to proceed now, and at the end of Mr. James's cue, they could then adjourn if they thought fit. Mrs. Mary Inman devised that in 1314 she went to reside with Mrs. Cumming. Captain Cumming Wit. 9 in a very Lad state. He had ulcers on his body. Mrs. Cumming always dined in her own room. She dined in bed one Sunday, and the other two up in the dining-room. All her food was scattered alx ut the room, and on her bed. She never offered her husband his dinner. She had four cats and a kitten, and used to buy for them two pounds of beef a day, and that of the beet kind, for which I used to pay eight- peace per pound. The cats were kept in her bed-room; the date of the room wu horrible, from filth. The Times paper was :taken in every morning. and witness answered advertisements from young men and young ladies offering them a comfortable home. In conse q uence several called, but did not see her. Mrs. Cumming drank a bottle of brandy a day. She used to abuse her family more in the morning after drink than at any other time. When the carriage was ordered the Captain used to wish to go out in it, and she would then keep him two hours waiting. She often treated him in a most gross manner, and on one °cc-a lien I saw the Captain with two black eyes. Captain Cum ming had a sufficient quantity of clean linen for his age and infirmities. On one occasion he asked for a fowl for his dinner. She did not treat him half as well as she did the cats and pigeons. The witness afterwards retracted her assertion of Mrs. Cumming having a bottle of brandy a day, as she slid not know it of her own knowledge. Never saw her drink neat brandy, but cold brandy and water. Harriet Brown began in July, 1345, to act as nurse to Captain Cumming, and corroborated many of the former witnesses' statements, adding that Mrs. Cumming's conduct was very violent, particularly whenever her cats got out of her room. On one occasion when she was abusing me about the escape of one of the cats, the Captain was present, he said " Curse your rats, they shall not coins into this room." She immediately put her hands in his (see, and exclaimed, " Know that my cats are your superior." I saw a Mrs. Mitchell there ; she frequently came—perhaps four times a week. I recollect a Mr. Jones coming to the house. He introduced Mr. II ioper as her agent. Mr. Jones was a tenant. In speaking of a child of Mr. Inn's, who died, she said she saw and planned that it looked more like a wax doll in a tailor's shop. Mrs. Cumming often charged me with robbing her. Re-examined: Captain Cumming was in such a state that he required to be attended on as a child, and he had not sufficient necessaries. By consent of the counsel on both shim, the court and Pry proceeded to view the premises in Belgrave-terrace, imlico, so as to ascertain whether they were in the state as described by the witnesses. Previous to which, Mr. James examined the witnesses from Wales. Mr. Henry Hawkins had collected Mrs. Commine'e rents at Newport, in 1814 ; the amount was about 5001. a year. The property had net been properly attended to, though part of it had due attention. Mrs. Cumming desired him to direct to her as Miss Hunt. Isle. Ebenezer Rogers lived at the Reil House, Newport, which belonged to Mrs. Cumming. She hail a house nt Stow-hill, which was in a state of ruin. It is being carried away piecemeal by the people. Witness came to town to negotiate relative to the Red Sense with the South Wales Railway Company, and was told that Mr. Solomon., of Covent-garden, was the agent, and with whom he made several attempts to effect a negotiation, for the purchase of the houses in Newport for the railway company, and a large sum could have been obtained for them, but had not been able to effect a negotiation. On the jury arriving at the premises, No. 1, Belgrave terrace, Pimlico, they found every room in a state of great filth, disorder, and confusion, strewed with boxes and pack ages, while, in the two bed-rooms which Mrs. Cumming had occupied were a vast number of medicine vials and brandy bottles. Adjoining the bed-room on the second floor was tho pigeons' run, which was covered with dirty straw and filth. In fact, the whole was a scene of such filth and disorder, that the jury appeared glad to escape. Mrs. Kerby was examined at considerable length, and deposed as well to the general disorder of the house as also to the violence of Mrs. Cumming generally, corroboreting foregoing testimony, adding that during the day Captain Cumming was kept without food for seven or eight hours, when he kno:ked at the wainscot and said, "Catherine, Catherine, this is refined cruelty ; I never thought you would starve me to death." On cross-examination this witness admitted that she had heard Mrs. Cumming upbraid her husband with having ruined her by gambling, and thereby caused her goods to be sold from her no less than three times. Mr. Parry, on the behalf of Mrs. Cumming, applied for her removal from York House to some private gentleman's house, on the ground that her excitement would probably be increased by her remaining and hearing the cries of others. After a reply from Mr. James, the Commissioner said he had no power to interfere. The inquiry was then adjourned for a week, to enable Mrs. Cumming to prepare her defence. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Ltveueoot, Aro. 29. Before Mr. Justice Cremorell. PATERSON V. NEILSON AND OTHERS.-1111S was a special jury cause, in which Henry Paterson was the plain tiff, and Daniel Neilson and twenty others were the defend ants. It was an action of libel, to which the defendants pleaded not guilty, on which issue was joined.—Mr. Knowles said the plaintiff is a gentleman of great respectability, the manager of a bank in Aberdeen, and he complains in this declaration of a libel which has been publish-d by the defendants. The defendants are the committee of the Stocks Exchange in this town, and. acting under some misrepre sentation, it appears they affixed the name of the plaintiff to the Stock Exchange board as a defaulter. The plaintiff could not sit still tinder such an imputation. He held his office so long, and only so long, es he was deemed to be an honourable, straightforward, and upright man. He ha., therefore, brought this action, and he is here to-day to sup port it if neeemary. But I am glad to say that will not be necessary. The defendants are willing to withdraw all im putation upon the plaintiff's character, and, that being done, the plaintiff, who has not come here to seek damages, but to establish a complete and perfect refutation of the charge made against him, does not press for damages limiest the defendants, and will, therefore, take your verdict, on the strength of that apology, for 40s. only, with costs as between attorney and client —After a few words from Mr. Wilkins, foe the defendant, a verdict was taken accordingly. JEN KINBON AND ANOTHER V. HATWOOD AND ANOTHER. —This was another special jury cause, in which Thomas Jcnkinson and John Edward Wrieht were the plaintiffe, and John Haywood and William Macdonnell the defend ants. The action was brought for a breach of contract in the delivery of ten cases of oil of peppermint, to which the defendants pleaded that they did not promise. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1201. ORD V. LATCOCK.—Thia was an action brought by the plaintiff, George Ord, &cantle the defendant, William La - cock, te recover damages for a breach of contract. The plaintiff, it appeared, was the interim factor and trustee under the sequestered edit! of a gentleman of the name of Robinson, and he sued in that cheese:or to recover damages for the breach of contract into which Robinson tutored with the defendant before his bankruptcy. Robinson was a mer chant and dealer in iron. He employed a person of the name of Senior, in Liverpool, as his broker; and, on the 15th of January, Senior sold to the defendant 300 tons of Scotch pig-iron, at 823. 6d. per ton, nett cash. Robinson became a bankrupt on the 10th of March, and on the 24th of that month the plaintiff was appointed the interim factor and trustee, and thus, in Scotland, he was invested with rights similar to those possessed by an assignee in England. The price of the iron having declined at the end of April, the contract was repudiated ; and now the action was brought for the recovery of Ple per ton, the amount between the 82e. fid. and the price to which iron bad declined at that time. A verdict was returned f car the plaintiff. Beite.rat e. CARPRELL, —The plaintiff was Charles Barker, and the defendant was Wm. Caarpball. The plaintiff was on advertising agent in London, and the defendant west a provisional director of the Jamaica atmospheric railway, upon Pfibrow's principle ; and the action was brought to re. cover a sum of 7311. for advertising the railway in the Lon don papers, at the instancy of the defendant. The defendant was a director from the first. He attended meeting after meeting, signed the hook and gave the orders, and, there fore, it was contended that he was as clearly liable es any tradesman could be under similar circumstances The orders to insert the advertisements were sent to Mr. Barker, and they were inserted accordingly. Mr. Martin, in opening the case, stated, that the directors of the maws in question had allotted five hundred shares each to era, and they also passed a resolution that they should divide thirty guineas among themselves for every meeting toq. attended.—A ver dict was returned for the plaintiff fur 3501. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1846. POLICE.-YEBTEBDAY. - - BOW-STREET.—Aecornaa Casa ON STATRINO IN Duane-amet.—lVillions Norris was charged before Mr. Jardine with having stabbed • man named Figgie'. At half-past one on Sunday morning, Win. Peterkin, I no , was called to a house in Feathers-court, Drury-lane, by some of its inmates, who declared that a man had been stabbed ; and having been shown up stairs, searched a room, and, under a chair, be found a shoemaker's knife all bloody. The pri. sneer was on the landing, and having been pointed eat as the culprit, Peterkin took him into custody. On the way to the ttation-house, th e prisoner paid that he had served him (Figgins) right, and, if he had had tire-arms, he would have shot him. At the station-home he told the inspector the same story, and that if the inspector had provoked him as much as Figgie.' had done, he would have served him the same, and that it would be a good job lithe fellow should die. The prisoner had been drinking. The wounded man had been conveyed to the hospital, and a certificate was pro duced, stating that the man Figgins had been admitted, and was too ill from the effects of the wound to come out. The I prisoner, who said only that he had received great provoca tion, wus remanded for a week. WORSHIP-STREET.—Arrnsarren Mtranalt.—An el derly man, named Pie/lard Tweedy, a foreman in the London Ducks, was charged before Mr. Broughton with cutting and wounding his wife Catherine Tweedy, with intent to murder her.—Constable Pain, N 247, stated that having received information, between nine and ten o'clock on the preceding evening, that a man, residing in Grove street, Hackney, had cut his wife's throat, he immediately repaired to the hems, in front of which a crowd of persons were assembled, and on entering the hack parlour he found a woman sitting on a chair in a state of extreme exhaustion, with her throat enveloped in bandages, completely saturated with blood, a largo pool of which was flowing from the centre of the room iota the adjoining passage. The only other person in the apartment was a little boy, about ten years of age, who handed him a table knife, much stained with blood, with which he said the injury had been in flicted. On being questioned as to the perpetrator of the act, the woman said it was her husband, who had gone out to procure a cab to convey her to the hospital, and that two surgeons had been sent fur, but neither of them had arrived. While ascertaining these facts, Mr. Harris, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, reached the house, and was engaged in dressing the wound, when the prisoner drove up in a cab, and entering the apartment in a state of great agitation, asked his wife it she was willing to go to the hospital. Witness, however, told him that he must consider himself in custody, to which the prisoner replied that he was perfectly aware of it, as ho had committed the act and must suffer the c insequences. The wounded woman was then removed to her bed, and the prisoner was conveyed to the station.—John Tweedy, the prisoner's younercat son, was then examined, and stated that his eldest brother had spent the afternoon at Epping Forest, and, on returning home, as the family were about to take supper, his tither prohibited him from sitting at the table, as he had gone out without permission. His mother, at the same moment, came into the room, and, in ignorance of what had transpired, told the boy to at down to supper, upon which the prisoner started up in great excitement ; and exclaiming "that the should die," made a violent thrust at her throat with a knife he had in his hand, inflicting • frightful gash, teem u Inch the blood gushed out upon :he floor, and she was about to fall, when her eldest son ran forwa rd and might her in hie arms.—Serjeant Hawker .handed to the magistrate a medical emtificate, stating that the flesh and superficial mesas des of the woman's throat had been divided to the ex tent of three inches, descending into the jugular vein, and causing an extensive hemorrhage, but that the result of the injury could not at present be ascertained. In an swer to the charge, the prisoner stated that he was greatly irritated at the time, but had no intention of inflicting the wound, axd was merely menacing his wife with the knife when he accidentally stumbled against the table, and the injury was involuntarily occasioned.--Mr. Broughton said that the exclamations the prisoner had used on rising from the table, displayed an animus wholly at variance with his defence, and he should commit him to prison on the capital charge ; but order him to be brought up again in a week, when the result of his wife's injuries would probably be decided. CLERKENWELL.—ARSAULT oN a WomAN.—Eliss both Dunkley, a washerwoman, in Graystoke-place, at. Pancras-road, charged James Neal, an athletic Irishman, with •riolently assaulting her. The prosecutrix, whose ana was in a sling, deposed that, while standing at her own door, on Sunday a ft ernoon, with her infant in her arms, she heard' the screams of the prisoner's wire, who lives near. A crowd of women assembled round the house, and called out, " Shame !" The prisoner rushed out, flourishing a poker; the crowd ran ; he pursued them ; and, on pawing the pro secutrix's door, struck her on the arm with the poker. The blew had disabled her, and had she not warded It off, her child would have been kill d.—Mr. Comb suggested that the prisoner should pay the woman 20s. as compensation fur the injury ; but he said lie could not afford it.—Mr. Combo: Then you are tined 40s. or three weeks' impriaoament.—lle as locked up. ATTENIFTED ROBBERY IIY A WOMAN.—.IIO7 Davie, a woman of the town, was charged with attempting to rob Mr. Thomas Brown, of No. 3, Church-way, St. Pancras. Tho prosecutor was passing along College-College- p'--ace, Camden Town, on the previous night, when the prisoner came up, and having told a most piteous tale of distress, asked him for some relief. Witness gave her two-pence. She did not seem satisfied, but dogged him along, and was soon after joined by two fellows in flannel jackets. She suddenly sprang upon him, and rising his watch-guard, attempted to force away his watch. The guard being of strong gold resisted her efforts, and some persons coming up, sae and her associates fled, but she was soon after arrested.—Com mitted for trial MARLBOROUOU-STREET.—John Faker was charged by Mr. John Dean Paul, the banker, 217, Strand, with as saulting him.—Mr. Paul was riding on horseback quietly through Leicester-square on Saturday evening, when ho met the prisoner and a companion, in a small tax cart, driving towards him. When they came up to him, the prisoner stood up in his cart and struck the horse he was riding very violently, which made him be-in to plunge. Mr. Paul rode after the cart and stopped it, when the prisoner denied having touched the horse, but said if he had dame so it was quite acci dental. Meanwhile a mob gathered about them, sided with the assailant, and recommended them to drive over com plainant. They whipped the cart-horse into a gallop and rode off. Mr I'aul stopped them a second time, and had seized the horse by the reins, when the prisoner struck him with great violence over the head and shoulders with bis whip. Ile was then given into custody.— The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he wax whip ping his own horse at the time, and struck the gentle man's horse by accident, and certainly without say in tention ; he had, at the time. told him so, and apologised for it, but Mr. Paul called him a liar, and refused to give him his card. He denied having struck Mr. Paul after wards, although by seizing his horse by the head he had put him in danger, as it was a spirited animal—Witnesses were called by the prisoner to corroborate his statement. — The magistrate ordered him to enter into his own recog nizenees to the amount of 401., to appear at the sessions to answer any indictment that may be laid against him. SOUTHWARE..—UNFOUNDED CHASOR BY TIM Po- LlCE.—Michael Began was charged before Mr. Cottinghsm with creating a disturbance in the public streets.—Police constable 181 M said, that about Line o'c'ock on Saturday evening, the prisoner and four ethos men were stand ing on the pavement in Kent street. The prisoner was talking very I.udly, and obstructing the foot- path ; refusing to move on, he was taken into ces- toly. The prisoner denied the charge altogether, and said it had been preferred out of spite. A few weeks ago he had brought a charge against the officer for ill-treating him ; but, owing to the non-attendance of his witnesses, the case was dismissed. Since then, the complainant hail endeavoured on all occasions to annoy him. On Saturday evening he was talking to a friend near Mr. Helland's door, when the con stable came up, and pushed him off the pavement. lie re monstrated, when the officer seized him by the collar, at the same time asking Mr. Holland whether he would give him in charge. Mr. Hol:and replied " No, he has done no thing.' The constable then called 131 Id to his assistance, when he was dragged to the station-house, and locked up until Sunday noon.—Mr. Holland confirmed the accuunt given by the prisoner, and attributed the whole of the din• turbanee to the constable exercising undue authority.—Mr. Cottingham said the officer had acted very improperly, and was unfit for the situation he held. It appeared he had acted vindictively towards the defendant, who, on a former occasion, had made a charge against him • this wax corroborated by the circumstance of his not interfering with the other men. There was nothing to justify his conduct. No constable could be allowed to abuse the liberty of the subject in that way ; and it was his duty, as • magistrate, to ordcr the whole of the circum stances to be laid before the commissioners of police, who would send the case before him for adjudication. He would have punished the constable now, but he thought that tt would be doing justice, by allowing both himself and the defendant time to produce their witnesses. He accordingly discharged the defendant, and prornieed hint that on a future occasion the charge against the policeman should be thoroughly investigated. ArrverrEn Se Icing,— Thomas Flood, a respectable looking elderly man, was charged with making • very determined attempt to commit suicide. It appeared that on his servant going into the parlour that morning the defendant was found sitting on the floor in the act of cutting his throat with a razor. The blood was stream Ing from the wound, but on the servant shrieking out, the vazor :bopped from his hand. A surgeon was called in. None of the important Teasels of the neck had been severed, and he We sufficiently recovered to be brought before the court.—Defeediest said that dejection of mind, cau.seit by reverses in business, had led him to make this attempt. His wife and son, who were present, appeared much distressed.—Mr. Cottingham, after an appropriate address to the defendant, called on him to find two sn'eties in 601. each. THAMES. CANIYATIALISM.-327chnel Donoben was brought up by one of the constablvs of ,the R division, en the following charge;—Cornelius Driaeoll stated that oft this premions night he went into a public-house at Poplar, when he met the prisoner and his brother-in-law, both of whom assailed him in the foulest possible lan;uage. They knocked him down, kicked and cuffed him, and, after tear ing the clothes completely off his back, the prisoner caught the fourth finger of bill left hand in his mouth, and hit the first joint entirely oft, bone, flesh, na I. and al' as if it had been dons by a surgical instrument. The severed men^er, wramid tap in a piece of paper, WWI here handed to the magistrate. The horror excited i n the court by the pro duction a Ike mutilated piece cannot he describe3.—Police constable SOK, said, that being called to a public-house io Poplar about half peat nine o'clock on the previous night, he found the complainant bleeding profusely from the little finger of his left hand, and the prisoner having been pointed out so the person who had inflicted the injury, he was taken into custody. He did not deny having bitten the complainant, but alleged in his defence that Driscoll had struck him Sat.—Driscoll denied this, though he admitted I that when assailed ho stood upon his own defence.—The ' prisoner, in a sullen manner, said the complainant was the aggresssor, having interfered with him and his eiders husband, and at the same time added that what had hap pened was purely accidental. This was denied by the pro secutor, who swore that he twice cried out to the prisoner, " Yost have my finger in your mouth," and yet, aotwith standing, the latter bit off the joint —Mr. Broderip expressed his regret that such brutality as was exhibit:d by the pri soner did not come under some more penal statute than that which governed the case. He could only commit the pri soner for the assault; for it had been ruled b Baron Alder son, and confirmed by the judger, that to constitute a felony in inflicting a wound, some sharp instrument must be used. But the assault was one of so serious a nature, that he must require hail to a beery amount, namely, the prisoner him self in 80/ , and two sureties of 401. each. His worship, at the same time, directed the constable who had charge of the ease to give it his particular attention ; for, from the pecu liar nature of the injury sustained, it was not at all impro bable that lock-jaw might supervene, and, in that event, the prisoner would be brought before the court nn a charge of a much more serious nature.—He was accordingly committed for triaL II AMMERSMITEL—Yesterday a young man of respect able ap , who was described on the police sheet as Henry [IMMO, a stationer at Abingdon, was brought up far re-examination, before Mr. G. Clive, charged with hav ing conducted himself with disgusting impropriety towards two young females, in one of the narrow lanes behind the Duke of Devonshire's gardens at Chiswick. A second and a graver accusation was yesterday brought against him.— Robert French, an omnibus conductor, deposed that on Monday, the 25th tilt., a respectable female got into his vehicle at Kew-bridge. She was the first passenger. Im mediately afterwards the prisoner entered the omnilms, and in about five minutes afterwards the lady spoke to witness, who was sitting on the steps of the omnibus, and said she wanted to get out. Witness seeing that she looked very ill and in a state of great excitement. asked her what was the matter, when she said she had been most grossly insulted by the prisoner. Witness asked her in what manner, but she said it was enfit to mention. Witness got her a glass of water, but en her getting out she immediately fainted. Wit ness immediately turned the prisoner out of t"e omnibus, and he was well soused with water and beaten by the per sons standing around, who heard of the transaction. The lady afterwards went to her destination.—lt was subieguently found that the prisoner had given a rase description of him self, that his name is believed to be Jordan.—Mr. Clire said the ease was not one of assault alone, but there were three eases against him of gross indecency. When he considered the great objection fcma'es generally had to come forward in such cases, and that females were at all times unprotected, unless they had a male with them, nod are subject to insults from men like the prisoner, he felt he should not he doing his duty to the public unleis be comm tted the prisoner to hart labour in the House of Correctien for the full term of three calendar months.—The prisoner was committed ac cordingly. GREENWICH.—OrTaAGE BY RUSSIAN SAILORS.— .Erneat I'alnigreen, Ilenrick Glorious, Joists Glorious, and Francis Strom, forming part of the crew of the ltu-aian ship Nicholas the First, laden with timber, and now lying in the Commercial Docks, were charged with having com mitted violent arnaults on James Lovell, Charles Bagot, and Ezekiel Gilbert, servants of the deck company. On Satur day last, about two o'clock, the above-named ship was enter ing the dock, when some obstruction occurred, in conse quence of a raft en which Lovell was at a ork being in the way. Tho prisoner 11. Giorious .jumped on to the raft, and, seizing • boathook which Lovell held in his hand, wrested it from him. In the endeavour to prevent Gioriouc, the boathook was broken and thrown away. Lovell was then seized and beaten with groat violence. Lovell got away from his first opponent, and was then attacked by Strom, who struck him under the jaw and knocked him down. Palmgreen selected Bagot as the object of hit attack, and inflicted great violence upon him, during which he was nearly strangled. It wart also proved that most of the ship's mew took part in the aiTray ; but they all, with the exception of the defendants, escaped. Some dicr, paney in the evi dence induced Mr. Train to di.charge Strom, but the others were fined—Pahngrecn and F. Giorious ia the sum of 10s. each, and J. Motions 20s. The directors of the company were unwilling to take the case to the scabious, and dm tines were instantly paid by the captain. ENFIELD PETTY (SPECIAL) SESSIONS.—MoxDAT. Beton Maws. Ed. Jaws Willi: ma, jun. (chairman), Ei. Wi i'ian:a, sen.. and Prt,tou. VICILISXT AISAXT.T. —The shove sessions were specially milled for the purpose of receiving evidence against George Cohen, a gunsmith, at the factory. Enfield lo.dc, which is under the control of the Board of Ordnance, who was charged under Lord Ellenborough's act with cutting and maiming Mr. Lovell, inspector of small arms, both Cohen and Lovell being in danger from the injuries they respectively received. On Saturday week, about noon, Cohen gave Mr. Lovell a most violent blow on the bock of the head with a filo. Mr. Lovell was going out through the door at the time, and was for • moment stunned. Oa recovering himself, while turning round to see who had struck him, he was again attacked by Cohen, who exclaimed, " I am the man, sir ; I am the man. You have starved me, my wife and family, and ruined us." Three of his fellow-workmen closed upon him and prevented him doing further mischief to Mr. Lovell, who was bleeding profusely. At this juncture Mr. James Gunner. acting inspector of the works, with a gun-barrel gave Cohen a dreadful blow upon his head that rendered him insensible, and from the effect of which serious results are expected. Both the wounded men were promptly attended by medical gentlemen. Informat:^n 'vas given to the Nike, when Cohen was given into custody, charged with assaulting Mr. Lovell. On the Chairman directing the case to be brought on, Mr. Clarke, who attended for Mr. Lovell, said that his client was unable to attend, as he was still suffering from the injury he had received upon his he d. After a long discus sion on a ivint of form, and after en ap2lieation of Mr. Dun comb', a solicitor, who attended on behalf of Cohen, Mr. Gunner was bound over to appear to answer Cohen's charge against him, and the iniuiry was adjourned for a week. The alleged cause of Cohen's assat.lt is a breach of contract on the part of the authorities, by which Cohen's wages were much reduced, and of which he supposed Lovell to be the author.

The settlement of account in Foreign Stocks ham been rather more heavy than of late. There was little of the spirit of speculation abroad until the arrival of the news that the United Stem Government had made overtures of negotiation to Mexico. Time must decide upon the sincerity of those overtures, and upan the measure of moderation which may have characterised the propositions of the American President, but the general impression in the City, in quarters connected with the United States, and with Mexico, is that such negotiations will have no satisfactory result. The pretensions of the American President it is be lieved will be too exorbitant for acquiescence on the part of Mexico, until the pressure of more disastrous conflict and imperious necessity compels. It is difficult to under stand how the position of the bondholders can be improved by any tr , sty of peace which shall strip Mexico of some of her richest territory. The bonds, however, would seem to show a more sanguine opinion on the stock exchange, or among parties interested in oust doing and pushing up prices. For prices advanced to-day, and left off st 27 to 1, which are equal to I rise upon the last rates of Saturday. Some excitemest existed in the market also about Portu guese Bonds, which advanced to 4i to 6. without any more specially alleged cause than a financial scheme to come forth which should be more favourable to the interest of the creditors than was supposed.

The brokers and dealers were yesterday mainly occupied with the settlement of the Account. There was, however, a fair business transacted in shares and scrip; and prices were steady and well supported, without any particular feature of fluctuation, except in Richmond, which, in cense reshteeernolfire, w e e p re pr a e tt i t a r per arra n gemen t with better. with the South- The Liverpool share market was firm, with a moderate amoutt of business. Prices remained the same as on Saturday. In " Liverpool and Orinskirks," and " Bir mingham and Oxfords," there was a good deal done. "Shropshire Unions" were also in demand. Still there was not much confidence shown by speculators far a rise during this account. The Manchester share-market was very buoyant: a con siderable extent of business has been done, and the quota tions of several lines show an improvement in price, with more buyers than sellers. At Birmingham transactions were mere numerous (chiefly in the local lines), and generally at advanced prices. At Leeds there was a decided improvement. At Glasgow business was still very limited throughout the whole of last week, and prices generally had a down ward tendency. Edinburgh and Glasgow stock fell, princi pally, it is supposed, in consequence of the meetings held by English shareholders, who are dissatisfied with the management of the directors. Clydesdale Junction was in &mend at an advance from 11. to 21. A large business was done in East Indians. At Dublin the business of last wiek was limited, but not withstanding the condition of the country, railway and other shares were on the advance. RAILWAY SHARE LlSTS.—Lminox Acrocer 31.
