Tun Nsw FISHERY Acr.—The working of the act Tamed in the session of 1861 (24 and 25 Victoria, cap. 114), for the improvement of the salmon fisheries of England and Wales, has been productive of much good. There has been a more strict observance of the fence time, and the weekly close time—from Saturday, ncon,to Monday morning —has permitted the passage of • great many flab up the rivers which would otherwise have been taken in the fixed engines at their mouths, thus giving the finhiogs in the upper waters a fair shore of the spoil. The mason in the river Severe—the most celebrated salmon river in England—boa been the best known foryears past. Several convictions for fishing in the weekly close time took_ place at the Newnham (Clouceetenhire) petty sessions, on Monday, on the prosecution of the United Association for the Pro tections of the Fisheries of the Severn ; but the new law has generally been well observed. The Admiralty have kneed a circular to the ocestgnard earrice, dated August 18, requiring them to give assisteate in carrying oat the new law. _ ♦ Lotto Acr OF PArtuArarr.—The lour sot :1 1 = 46 . t rr i "to de folio sh the Is 4 . oda, and " Was 449 sesame asides schedules. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1862. AMERICA. The Canadian mail screw steamer Ncrth American, which left Quebec on the 2nd inst., arrived in the Mersey at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night. A telegraphic summary of her news has already ap peared. The New York Herald of the 31st ult. says : No military movements are reported in General lan's army since our last. The wounded and sick continue to be sent down the river, and the personal attention of the general is unremitting. A report was prevalent in Washington yesterday, which originated with some contrabands, that the rebels were evacuating Richmond. Large bodies of troops, it is stated, are crossing the James River and moving southward. It is I pretty evident, however, that the movement of obese troops means something very different from the abandonment of Richmond. General Pope reached his headquarters at Warrenton, Virginia, on Tuesday at noon, and was received with en thusiasm. The secessionist. appeared to be considerably excited upon his arrival, but it is said are not disposed to take the oath of *Declaims. A portion of General 'Seers advance drove out the rebel cavalry of Robertson from Madison Court-house on Saturday without loss. The rebels are making no demonstration along the railroad neer Gor donsville, though from information received there appears to be little doubt that General Ewell has quite as large a force in that vicinity as we have before reported. It was rundiured in Norfolk that the rebel gunboat New Merriam" nod a ram just finished in Richmond intend to run thrush our Beet in the James River, sod attack the Minnesota and other vessels at Norfolk, and make an attempt to take the city. A special despatch nun Vicksburg on the 23rd recounts a gallant, hat unsuccessful, attempt to capture the rebel run Arkansas. It appears that, according to agnsemest be tween Commodores Davie and Fermat. the fleet from below was to engage the lower batteries and the Beet above would mote the upper ones, while the gunboats Emu and Quasi were in the meantime to attack the Arkansas and tow her out. In consequence of a misunderstanding, only a few shells were fired from the mortars below, a s hells no other effect than to divert the fire from the Essex, which attempted to run into the Arkansas, and jam her Wit the level, but the latter swung round, and the her side. As she paned she gave the rebel craft three 1, 1 1-incli shot frow her bow guns. Upon finding herself unsupported she dropped down the river. The Queen, coming to her aid, ran into the Arkin's; making her tremble from stem to stern. Recovering herself, the Queen ran on her again, but so forcibly sa to strain her own works badly . Both beats then returned up the river. The guerillas in the West ere becoming bold and trouble some. Svb learn from Louisville that the Ks= wandering bends under Morgan took possession of vile on Thursday, after a collision with the Home Guard, wounding • captain of Kentucky volunteers, and killing two lieutenants To counteract this dilatator, it appears that on the following day • large party of turas from Boone County, attacked Monet Sterling, and were repulsed by the Home Guard defending that place. During the re treat the gurillea were met by a party of the Bth Kee tuoky Volunteers, who drove them back towards the town, where they were again attacked by the Home Gaud. The remit was a complete stampede of the guerilla; who lost all their horses, eight killed, and 48 taken prisoners. The number of wounded is not known. The loge on our side was three wounded. This clam of marauders, which seems now to comprise the remaining portion of the rebel armies in the south-west, have also shown themselves in large gangs, and are now encamped beyond the Aft line in the counties of Howell and Texas. Our troops stationed at Houston, Texas county, however, are said to be nume rous enough to repress any advance of the guerillas. We learn from • despatch from Nashvi.lle that a rebel mail has been captured by lour army. The letters contain valuable information. Beaureurd has resigned and gone to the springs in Alabama. Bragg is at Vicksburg with 20,000 men, but is scarce of horses. An artillery company from Georgia could not be sunned with either guns or horses. the rebel letters seized were from Tupejlo, Mississippi, 50 miles south of Corinth. The writers are anticipating the early re-occupation of Tennessee by rebel troops, and every rebel warlike indication favours the sup position. The rebels are reported to have evacuated Lebanon, with the intuition to mass their troops at • given point for a sudden dash on Nashville. The guerillas aloe; the Miasimippi tanks are equally active. Despatches from Rolla, Mimouri, state that at Stillville on Sunday night at lent 1,500 mounted and armed men had crowd the State Road from Potosi to Jefferson, within ten miles of that place. About fifteen hundred have organised and put out from Salem and vicinity within the last three days. Within that time they have passed across the rallroad in great numbers between RoLla and Minium They take horses, clothing, and ammunition, and supplies of every kind they require, wherever they find them. The steamer Platte Valley, to Cairo, brings the news of the capture of the despatch boat Sallie Wood by the rebels, 150 miles above Vicksburg. The rebels had a masked bat tery, and succeeded in hitting her steam pipe, disabling her. They took quite • number of prisoners, and destroyed the boat. The Queen of the West was also fired into on her way op. Two or three were killed, and several wounded. Thus at all points in the West wandering bands of rebels are annoying our troops and obstructing the river navi gation. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (Itzurn's mamma.) FRANCE. PAM, Aowner_l4. There will be no reception of the Diplomatic Corps by the Emperor to-morrow ; and it is asserted that no Imperial speech will be delivered. PARIS, AUGUST 14, EVENING. , . The Patrie of this evening says that M. Leon Pillet, the French consul at Palermo, has received orders to repair to Paris. General ilizio has arrived here. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Avausr 14, EVIENING. The semi-official AUgemeiee ge Preuaaische (Stern) Zeitung of to-day contains a leading article on the apprehension of a pretended impending change in the constitution, on the occasion of the discussion of the military budget. It considers the difficulty exists in the fact that no provision is made by the constitution for the possibility of the supplies not being voted by the time they are required. The writer proceeds It cannot be expected that the government will consent to the diminution of the general budget, by which the progress already made in re-organising the army would be destroyed. The government of the King would violate its most sacred duty if it did not make use to the fullest extent of its constitutional position for carrying out the reform which is considered indis pensable to the welfare of the state. If unfor tunately an understanding should not be attained, the government will undoubtedly regulate the fur ther steps it may consider it its duty to adopt by the rights conferred upon it by the constitution, and we are enabled most distinctly to repel the odious suspicion of any coup-d'etat or breach of that con stitution being intended. The course which the government may think proper, in accordance with the constitution, to adopt, depends wholly upon the nature of the resolutions arrived at by the op posite party, and cannot be previously determined." AIISTRLL VIENNA, Auavirr 14. The city is to be illuminated this evening in honour of the return of the Empress, whose health is entirely re-established. Intelligence from Servia states that the Servians have burnt the Turkish steamer which was stranded near the Iron Gate. THE GERMAN FEDERAL DIET. DRESDEN, imam 14, Evz2rnio. The official journal of to-day contains the follow ing telegr►m from Frankfort-on-the-Maine : " In the sitting of the Federal Diet to-day the project for the reform of the Federal constitution, which has been introduced, was referred to a spe cial oommittee. The representative of Prussia opposed and protested against the project. He considered unanimity upon the question of reform essential, and did not believe the proposed arrange ment would prove satisfactory. The nation re quired more. Prussia kept in view the measures really required. These were national representation and increased means of defence. "The representative of Saxony offered some remark' in explanation of the project. The Federal Diet then adjourned until the 9th October." SERVIA. BELGRADE, Aoccar 14. A telegram received here to day stake that in the conference upon the Beryl= question, held yesterday at Constantinople, no result was attained. The representatives of the different powers were unable to agree as to the guarantees to be given by Turkey to the Servian government respecting the fortress at Belgrade. TURKEY. The following official communication has been issued in Constantinople : COMMISSION OF SITRVELLANCE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL 01 THE CAME. Certain reporta calculated to weaken the confidence of the public having been current within these last few days, the commission thinks it a duty to issue the following pub lication for the satisfaction of all parties interested. The total sum required for the complete withdrawal of 2,000,000 purees of mine's, or one billion of piutree, is at the proportion of 40 per cent. in specie of 3,666,666/. The total sum placed by the government at thedisposal of thecom. mission being 3,902,762/. in gold and silver, the commission will have in hand a surplus of about 230,0001., beyond the exigencies anticipated for the withdrawal of the mimes ; on the other band, the means of action which are at the disposal of the establishment of the Dar-ul-Fuooun having proved by experience that tho complete withdrawal can be effected without difficulty within the limits of the terms fixed by the decisions of the Imperial government, the commission hopes that the fears created by the reports in question will be dissipated, and that the public will be reassured aa to the resources at its disposal for the definitive withdrawal of the paper-money. - The President of the Commission de Surveillance, Con stantinople, July 22.

The Lombardia, which publishes this news, gives the following details respecting the fortifications of that port : The earthworks are pushed on with great activity, and are of considerable extent. Besides the continuous enclo sure, a Dumber of small detached forts are in course of con struction on the surrounding bills, which would compel an enemy who attempted a siege by land to have a very numerous army, and to lose a great deal of time in taking such a belt of forts, which defend each other and effec• Lively protest the town. A hostile fleet could not approach very near Ancona, for the sea defences are extremely powerful. Besides the numerous batteries flush with the water, which could fire on vessels without receiving much injury in return, there is the Scrims Fort, which, standing on the promontory of that name, and commanding all that part of the sea between Ancona and Torretta, would pre vent any ship from taking station there to attack the float ing batteries. The citadel would also launch a storm of projectiles against any ships which should come within the range of its numerous guns.

Mr. Seward gave as a reason for this protest that the Mexican expedition, being of too little consequence to jus tify the seeding of such a tremendous armament in American waters, the American government could not help thinking that it is destined to act against the United States. It would in consequence ask from the French government an explanation on that subject.

ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND GILU3OOW RAILWAY.—On Wednesday night, the 8.45 train Pram Edinburgh to Glasgow ran off the rails shortly after passiog Itatho Station, and completely blocked up both lines, obstructing the whole traffic between north and south for nearly three hours. Roth lines of rails were torn up fur several yards, the train having run diagonally across them, ploughing up the ground, and loosening the mile. Fortu nately, the accident was not attended with any serious results, the passengers having escaped with no greater injury than a rather violent shaking, with the exception of one man, who, in a paroxysm of alarm, jumped out of the carriage in which he !was travelling, and sustained a few trifling bruises or scratches. The train from the north, which joins the London train leaving Waverley-bridge Station at 10.15, had to be brought to astandon approaching the scene of disaster, and the passengers clammed carriages --the train from the north being mot on with the Glasgow passengers, while a telegraphic m was forwarded to Edinburgh I for carriages to enable th easage e others to proceed on their journey. Owing to the distance between the broken-down train and the nearest station on either side, • considerable delay took place before the message could be despatched, and the result was that the first instalment of passengers were only brought on to Edinburgh about a quarter of an hoar before midnight, and fresh carriages were there after deft:etched to convey the remainder. At midnight about fifty bound for London found themselves on the pie OM at Waverley-bridge Station, upwards of an hour and • half after the London train had been despatched, and they had no alternative but to seek accommodation in hotels for the night. It is supposed . that the accident was caused by the recent heavy rates having saturated the em- bankment, and caused a quantity of earth and stones to slip, reverie; the rails with rubbish. The last instalment of the psengen arrived in Edinburgh about one o'clock yesterdal'morning.

Additional.] THE BRITISH COLUMBIAN OVERLAND TRANSIT COMPANY. Yesterday Mr. James Hanson, the secretary to the British Columbia Overland Transit Company, of 6, =2 n -court, Thrograorton-street, wee summoned before Finis, at Guildhall, to answer • charge of obtain * • sum of 421. by means of fate representations, with intmt to defraud Mr. Henry Isaac Oollingwood. Mr. Harris rid—l appear to-day on behalf of Mr. Coiling wood only, but there are in reality thirty-three persons in all prefemag similar complaints, sad in order to arrive at the peecw nature of the charges it will be neomeary to give • history of the matter, commencing in the early part of April last. In that month advertisements made their appearance in the public papers, holding forth that the British Columbia Overland Transit Company was an seta bashed fact, that • board of directors, bankers, brokers, and officers had been appointed, and that the arrange ments for carrying out the company's object, which was that of conveying passengers by a short route to British Columbia ad Canada in six weeks for 421. were newly completed, and that no application for a pu mp would be received after the 17th of May. Ships were advertised for to meet the requirements of the company, and considerable discussion arose among newspaper corre spondents with regard to the practicability of the under taking ; but it was ultimately stated that the secretary's explanation had shown that the journey could be accom plished, the remit of which was that my client, Mr. Collingwood. and 32 other gentlemen, took purge for Camas, thence to be forwarded to their destination in British Colombia. The impracticability of the scheme has been mooted in parliament, end what seems most extraor. drary is that the company have been noticed in the money article of the Timis, of May 23, to the following effect : " Various communications have been received expressing doubts whether a project which has been pub lished by • British Columbia Overland Transit Com /any, for the . conveyance of passenger, to the gold *I& of British Colombia, across Canada to the Rocky Mountains, in live weeks, may not remit in seven dimppointmentand suffering to the parties who may be tempted to engage in it, and complaint has been made in the Barman that the scheme has been widely advertised in the berth in • manner that may entice many emigrants without the names of any responsible persons being mven either as projectors or directors." " This is a case," its observed. 'in which there is a !menial need to know under whom encouragement and responsibility . the affair is undertaken and recommended." On that point, however, there has in Loudon, at all events, been no remorse ; the company, when it was introduced on the 4th of April last, with • proposed capital of half a million, and power to in crease it to • million, having presorted the following list : " Bard of Directors—The Hon. F. H. Fitshardinge Ber keley, M.P., Victoria - square , director City Drumm. Com pany ; Frederick Mangles, Faq., Gratham-house, Old Broad-street ; Edward Loder Faq . , ZS, Laurence Paint -lane and 17, Gt.

Fenner, NO well), Croom's-hill, Blackheath ; Charles Barnard, Fag., Margaretting, Emax.—Secretary James Henson, Esq." The whole of those names correspond with the list put forth in the company's prospectus, and if such • paper as the Times could be so int ' posed upon, could it be wondered at that Mr. wood and hi s fellow-paseengers were deceived ? On tt il l i a of May the payment of the passage money was oonipL44 ' and it is upon the receipt then given by the defendant that I rely to establish • charge of false pretences. Oa the lath of May the passengers proceeded to Glasgow, and thrZ steamer to Quebec, sad all went well until they St. Paul, where they were to have met an emigrant moat train for the purpose of commencing the overland transit r portion of the journey. They found , however that no pro vision was made by the company of any kind whatever either to forward them to British Columbia, to send them home again, or even to supply their necessities while dr tamped at St. Paul. The co uses was that several who had the means returned, and others who had not were left encamped under canna out in the wilds some mils from St. Paul, in a most deplorable condition. The company's agent in Canada had no funds, and the firm who could have forwffiffiad the party to George Town and Red River declined to accept the company's drafts. Under these circumstances Mr. Couingw ood was deputed and furnished with powers of attorney from his fellow-passengers to return and seek re dress for the eon-performance of the contract by the cowpony; but on arriving in this country he found the offices shut up and the company gone no one knew where. He the applied to the solicitors. and ascertained that their names and ' those of many of the directors had been need without their authority. It was, however, due to Mr. Mangles to state that on finding his name had been used, he at once repudiated in the most public manner all commotion with the company ; while on the other hand • member of parliament, when this subject was discussed in the House of Composes omitted to disavow the position assigned to him in the oar panes advertisements and prospectuses. The company was originally held forth as one of limited liability, but it after wards dropped the word " Limited," and has never even been registered. The word "company" has Abe been omitted in the name on the receipt, but that !shell show is only part of the trick by which these gentlemen have been defrauded, for although they have proceeded as far as St. Paul, not more than one third of the passage money paid has been expended. Mr. Henry Isaac CoUingwood said—ln the month of AmE last I called at No. 6, Copthall-court for a prospectus, but the one I then obtained had the name of Mr. Mangles as a director. The secretary gave it to me, and asked me for my name and address, which I gave him. I wanted a passage from St. Paul's, because I wished to go Canada my own w, but he said they could only take me direct from England. 1 called again on the last Saturday in April, and paid a deposit of 201. by a cheque of a friend on the London and Westminster Bank, and on the 17th of May I paid the balance of 22!, and the defendant gave me this receipt : " British Columbia Overland Transit. - " Receipt for Passage.

" • Including provisions to Montreal. 5011:a. of baggage allowed for each passenger from St. Paul's. "4:42. (Signed) „ Jean 11x)iises, Secretary." Witness—l objected to the words "moond.claas,” be cause I believed I had paid fora first-clam pasege. I received two circulars from the company in April, one dated the 11th, stating that the distinction of clams would be abolished, and 51. extra charged for saloon berths ; that the company only provided provisions to Montreal ; that game and fish abounded on the journey, and that would accompany the train with provisions, which the passengers would be allowed to purchase at cost price. The other circular, dated the 28th of April, announced that the company had re ceived letter, from their agents at Fort Garry, Red River settlement, informing them that steam communication bad been opened for nearly 200 miles above Bt. Paul's, and that • steamer was there ready to run on the Red River a distance of 180 miles, which would reduce the land transit by 3to miles, and save five depth) the journey to British Columbia. I left London on the 29th of May for Glasgow with about thirty other passengers, and sailed on the 31st in the screw-steamer the United Kingdom. We arrived at Quebec on the 17th or 18th of June, and travelled on by railway and boat to St. Paul's, Minnesota, in the United States, which we reached about the 27th of June, and found that no provision whatever had been made to for ward us on our journey to British Columbia, either in the way of wagons, provisions, or the promised emigrant SF cort train. The company'. agent from Toronto was the.,, and be said he bad no money to provide conveyance for es. There were not even lodgings provided torus ; and after a week's stay, I came away with powers of attorney to sal on behalf of my fellow-passeopra. I arrived in England OR the 20th of July, and on proceeding to the company's offices, I found the name which was on the ado of the door had been painted out, and the company', offices removed. I could not at that time trace where the company bad gone. I left my fellow passengers camped all under canvas, where they were thrown upon their own resources entirely for everything they expected to have been pro vided with by the company. Crow-examined—The company performed their contract u far is St. Paul's without any cause for complaint. We were to have gone on from st. Paul's by means of 4-base epring wagons, accompanied by a numerous escort. Them was a firm in St. Paul's of the name of Burbank and On., who have stages running to George Sown, _on the Red River, but they refused to accept the agent's drafta on the com pany in payment for our pump by their conveyances. Cap tain Shrapnel, the barrack muter of Quebec, was then communicated with by telegraph , sad be directed the agents to draw on him at 60 days' eight bet &rebook and Co. re fund to accept such drafts. There is, I believe, one eteueer on the Red River plying between Georp Town and Port Garry once a week. It belongs to Burbank and Ow I paid my money on the faith of the prospectus that it was a limited liability company, and that all the arrangements as advertlied either had bee or would be made. I have no doubt I read the words "limited, to be incorporated" on the prospectus. I have not made any application to the gentlemen named is the prospectee for the return of my nanny aims 1 have acme [TWOPENCE back. I bin left the matter entirely in the hands of my solicitor. RMlXSMilleki—Mears. Prichard and Collette are the soli- Mors to the company, and Mr. Collette is here to-day. Mr. Collette—l do not represent the company in any way in this matter. Witness—The agent, Mr. Him, told me that the com• My promised to give him a cash credit on the Beek of ash North A merica, but that they had failed to do so. Mr. Philbrick here read a long oorraspoodences that bad ensued between the solicitors on the 'abject of compensa tion, in some of which Mr. Harris stipulated that his client, should be placed in the lams position as they were before taking their passage by the company s transits and that they should also receive payment for lose of time, lir., newly all of which was acceded to in some of the letters from Masan. Collette and Prichard ; and from their general tenor the magistrate was favourably impressed with regard to the both Ma of the company ; but the concluding letter nega tived all the good intentions of making compensation, as will be seen by the following, which i• a copy : "57, Lincoln's-inn-field', Bth August, 1862. " British Columbia, &cc., Company. " Dear Bir,—Borne of the gentlemen whose names ap peared in the prospectus of this company have attended the meeting to-day, and others have wntten. They repudiate the authority of the promoter and manager of this company, under whose instructions we have written to you, and who we have considered duly authorised to communicate to us on behalf of the company. Those who were present also disclaim our letter to you of the 31st ult. The y each intend to employ their own solicitor in the matter. We are there fore under the necessity of requesting you to consider our letters as withdrawn, and while we truly s y mpathis e with the position of your clients, we regret that l• is out of CNIT power to render them any further agleam* in the matter. When our names were used in the prospectus we were as sured that every gentleman whose name apposes in it had given his written consent to act se director, which appears to be now denied. We were not aware that say trading had taken place until the prwnt claim bad been made.— We are, dear sir, yours truly, PIUCHAID AND COLLITI7. " H. Harris, Eaq." Mr. Thomas Beddall, of Finchinfield, Erma, was then called to prove the payment of the range money for two of his brothers, and said—While at the =lice I maw the de fendant and three or four clerks, who appeared to be very busy. I also saw a person who seemed to take an active Srln the business. That person was, I believed, Colonel . Harris proposed to call a witness to prove that the route laid down was utterly impracticable. Alderman Farr rid be could not go into that question, as twenty witness= would prove it was not a practicable route, and a similar number would prove the contrary. Mr. Lorna William Smith, a barrister, from said—l know Mr. Hime. He brought me the original letter from the company irking him to become their spot. I advised him to have nothing to do with it males, the money were deposited in the bank. lam solicitor to the Bank of British North America, and therefore know that no funds have been paid in there for Mr. Rime, who has never even bean paid for his own services by the company. Mr. Charles Hastings Collette said—l decline to say who authorised me to write the letter of the 31st of July (acced ing to Mr. Harrison's demands). Cross-examined—lt was not the defendant. Mr. James Elms said—l was one of the pump= who went out with Mr. Collingwood. I have heard his state ment to-day end I adopt every word of it as correct. I left St. Paul's about 10 days after Mr. Collingwood, and up to that time cot one of the gentlemen who went out had re ceived a single repair of =bidder* matey from the com pany,y or be b eele i rgided for is any way by the company. I Ald e :rman me VilllaillalHave own The other ee passengers the means of returning t Witness—No, air; they are totally unprovided for. Alderman Finn= said the case had now lasted so many hours that it w r is . v2 desirable it should be adjourned, to enable him to with the other business the court. Mr. Philbric called the magistrate's attention to the fact that nothing was stated of there being • company at all, beyond the ustentioo of incorporating one, and any promise to do a thing in the future could not—such wan the principle of law—be made a false pretence. It was clear the company was not • sham, for these parties had been lea= se far as St. Paul's, two-thirds of the dietaries of the whole journey, and • failure then occurred in consequence a the disturbed date of the country during the war. There was no =idea= to show that the defendant anticipated this failure at the time he received the {rouge-money, and if he had he was merely • salaried servant, and could not be held criminally responsible for the acts of the company. Had not the company been • gamine institution, it was not likely the Quertermuter.General of her Majesty's fortes In Canada would offer to become responsible for the fulfihnart ef re company's corrects. as had her proved. The *sew pony in their advertisements and prospectuses did not bold out that the conveyances over land and by water beloohed to them, bet that such communications had been establiaW and still existed, and that they intended the paragon to =ldby them without calculating upon a failure at St. . He considered the charge again= his client most absurd, as he should be able to show that he never received a =spasm broad his salary. Mr. Harris said if that could be proved he would with draw the charge at roe. Alderman PUIDiII suggested that they should show, if the money was paid into a bank, by whom it was drawn out, and that would probably relieve the defendant. Mr. Harris said be would be satisfied with that proof. After some conference and much hesitation between Mr. Philbrick, Mr. Collette, and the defendant, the forma gentleman announced that the money received by the de fondant was handed over to the manager, and that the said manager was Colonel Sleigh. Alderman Finnan said it wee • very serious matter for the gentlemen who had been defrauded, for it was quite clear • fraud had been committed, and it was the magistrate's duty to ascertain by whom, and to deal with the offender se oordiftly. At stage the case was adjourned fora week, and Ithe defendant admitted to bail in his own recognisances in 1001. RAISING THE IRON SHIP GANGES, SUNK IN THE RIVE& Yesterday afternoon a very successful attempt was made towards floating the iron ship Ganges, which onp sized and sunk in the Thames on Tuesday, as already DO ticed in this journal. The Thames Conservancy Board having granted the use of three of their powerful chain lighters, vigorous efforts were commenced yesterday morning during the ebb tide to raise the ship upright and fairly on her bottom—an operation which was indispensable before measures could be taken to float her. Three chains having been secured round her hull,the three lighters, at low water, were pinned down to the port side of the ship, which was resting on the bottom of the river, sad other three lighters were attached to her masts, and which materially contributed to the lifting power. The task of righting the ship, however, was one attended with great difficulty, for, in addition to the great weight of the ship, the iron ballast and iron tanks fell over to the port side when the ship canted, and there wu also an aocomaln tion of mud. As the flood came up there were sive of the ship rising. The lighters were kept down to her as deep as it was safe for them to be, and about half past three o'clock the port side gradually came up, and the ship attained her usual uptight position. As the tide recedes, a large portion of the water in her hold will rue out, and powerful pumps will then be applied to free her of the water which remains in her. Mr. Wood, the con tractor for raising the vessel, is in expectation that she will be floated this morning's flood, and if not got into the dry dock, at least into a place of safety, and out of the way of the navigation of the river. Divers went down into the hold with a view of examining the sides of the ship, and of findiog the bodies of the lascars who are supposed to be in the vessel, but nothing was seen of them. It is expected, however, that when the ship is pampa' out they will be discovered. The harbourmaster's and Thames-police boats were in attendance, and rendered great assistance in keeping swarms of boats off, and thereby preventing acci dents. During the day the steamboats were crowded with passengers, who apparently had come down to witness the novel scene of • wreck of a large ship so high up in the river. The inquest on the bodies of the two luaus lying in Shsdwell dead-house is tied Lobe held to-morrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. GIINPORDZI.

ROBBIZY.—A robbery of the most daring nature was committed is Liverpool on Wednesday last. About two o'clock in the day • young men, having the appearance of a foreigner, entered the MSce of the Loss end Investment Company, 88, lnike•street, sod inquired far Mr. Simon Hughes, the manager of the oompouey.
