Pays the Galway Vindicator: ".k great body of labourer% and IliotrewiLlonking peranut marched publicly and for the most part of the day, through Loughrea. Seldom bas it been the lot of this lovaley to vim's.' such a spectacle of squalid poverty and ragged iniaery ; they carried in procession loaf of bread fixed on a long pole. Thiii is anima :cling circuneitanee ; their cry, I must say their peaceable cry, was for employment. The harvest la now dowel gathered in—there are no potatoes to dig, which would give both food and empkiyment, aunt the public works are put a stop to. Under such circumstances it is not surpri sing that these distressed creatures should mike some ninnifestation of their utter want, and though they presented themselves at the doors of the principal onvinberts of the Committee of Public Works, I have not heard that they gut any very cheering encouragement. —The wart of the matter is, that on the day following, which is market day in this town, the potatoes, of which there was u very Umbel supply, rated .0 high as :d. and 3d. per atone, and, of course, arra:6y at fur human fuod. SCOTLA ND. NARROW EscarE.JOnTiunday last, about nine o'clock in the evening, an alarm of fire was sounded at l)unb laie. The children of a sub-contractor on the Scottish Central Railway had act tire to the bed-curtains with a candle. The furniture of fly.' bed was instantly in a blaze, and the apart ment being a small attic, situated at the Cross. the It omes spread with rapidity. As there is no fire-engine in Dun blear, the populace mustered and rendered every) assistance in their power to extinguish the conflagration. The surprise, indignation, and alarm that took possession of the minds ,4 the multitude may easily be conceived when it was ascertained that in the house adjoining the dwelling where the lire was ragiiqr, and which was occupied by another subcontractor and his family, on the same floor with the blazing apartment, and separated from it only by a seey thin partition, there was stored nearly half a ton of gunpowder, similar to that used in railway mining operations!! On the first alarm of the tire being given, the proprietor of the gunpowder hastened into the premises, and carried off his family, his money, and the portable valuables which be could snatch up at the moment. When the danger from the gunpowder became known, John Nicholson, a mason, followed by a number of people, rushed up to the apartment, and suc ceeded in extinguishing the flames. No person was injured but the poor melte r of the children, whose hands and arms were dreadfully burned in her attempts vainly to extinguish the fire by pulling down the blazing furniture.—Sluing Obserccr. WALES. Entctvfox tv Wem:s.—Sir : By your leave I wish to make one remark. It is admitted that in 1841 there were in Wales, 233,114 persons between the age of five soil fifteen. This takes no account of the thousands of our children who are between the age of two and five, and who ought to he ir %traded and amused at an infant Our.' instead of being le ft to run into all manner of danger and filth about the streets. When we take into consideration the 233,114 be tween five and fifteen, with many thousands between two and five, and the vast increase of the population during the la-t few years, lam very much afraid that Dr. Griffiths, rather than overstating the matter, has fallen short of the mark. That, I believe, is the opinion of all whe are not de termined at any risk to make out a case against the inter ference of Government.—Tours, &e., A WeLsit METHODIST. PROVINCIAL. LANCASHIRE. A CAse TNDER THE GAME LAWS.—At the Kirkham Pe. ty Sessions on Tuesday the court was unusually crowded, in e insequence of a summons having been issued against Mr. R. Parkinson, of liowick, for trespassing in pursuit of genie, issued at the instance of T. Clifton, Esq., of Lytham hall. Several witnesses were examined in support of the case, but the evidence of John Wilcock, the tenant of the farm on which the alleged trespass occurred, was the most material. This witness stated that he rented the farm from a Miss Wingfield, of Liverpool, and that at the time he took the firm nothing was said about the game on the estate. For the last few years—say three or four—he had permitted Mr. Parkinson, and other geidlemen to shoot over his farm, which, it should he stated, is in immediate proximity to Mr. Clifton'sestates. During thespring of thepresent year, Fair, as agent to Mr. Clifton, made an application to Itlr.Wikock for the game on his farm, when the latter gentleman informed him that "he was welcome to shout seer the farm." Suhse quentqt Wilcock received a notice from Miss Wingfield that she intended to take the g ime herself, hut he never an swered that let Lr. A letter was also produccd in curt from Miss NVing field to Mr. Fair, stating that she agreed to take M. a year for the game, and desired a remittance fur that amount. A solicitor who appeared for the defence then produced an act of parliament in reference to game, passed before the time Wilcock took the farm, which enacts that in any we where a farm is let, the game becomes the common mer chandise of the tenant, unless it is specifically reserved ; and that by the act in question the game in this ease belonged to the tenant, in consequence of no reserve having been made at the time of letting. The letter, he said, which had been produced from Miss Wingfield to Mr. Fair ri speeding the amount to he paid for the game, was so much waste paper, as she had no right to let it, it being the tenant's property, and the notice Wilcock had received from her was equally useless, for she might with equal propriety have given him notice that she intended to take possession of a potato field or a stack of hay on the farm. After hearing Mr. Banks' defence, the Rev. It. Moore, one of the magistrates, said, the game was evidently not reserved, and under the act of . parliament the case falls to the ground. We dismiss decision of the bench was hailed with much ap plause by the crowded court, and as Mr. Parkinson passed through the street from the court he was loudly cheered. CHARGE OF CRUELTY AGAINST A SCHOOLNIAATEIL—At the Bury petty sessions, on Friday, the Rev. David Thomas, formerly an itinerant minister amongst the new connexion Metheilists, but who has been residing at Bury nearly four years, where he has been attempting to found a new religious sect, was charged with having brutally beaten a boy, six years of age, named John Edwards, son of a blacksmith.— The defendant mode a long, rambling speech, relative to his method of tuition.—The bench began to be tired, and requested tbe defendant to say whether he was guilty or not of the crime he stood charged with.—Mr. Thomas here began to describe the manner in which he had punished the youth; he first stated the boy had sworn, for which he put him on the form, where h , again swore ; he asked him to put out his hand, so that he could beat him with the stick; lie refused again and again, and I heat him severely again, end again, and again. The reason I beat him, so severely was because the eyes of all the children in the school were upon me, nod I found the boy was about is conquer me, and rather than be conquered, I beat him, thinking it would do him good. At this stage of the pro ceeding< the boy's back, which was black all over, was made bare in the court. The court cried shame, and the bench said it was the most disgraceful case that ever was known to take place in Bury, or in the county. Mr. Knowles, the magistr..:e, said he hoped the ease would go before the public, fen according to the Rev. Mr. Thomas's own state ment, it was most disgraceful. He was ordered to find sure ties to kr , p the peace for six months, and pay all expenses. The defe .dant replied that he should not pay anything. He was told that if he did not find sureties, and pay the money, he would, have to be sent to prison for six months. Ile appeared unconcerned while at the bar, and was committed in default of bail. YORKSHIRE. THE ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF THE. WETHERRY AGRI CULTURAL SOCIETY was held on Friday. The respectable and very numerous attendance of the friends and patrons of agriculture from v.trious parts of the country, evinced in a very marked manner the estimation in which the society is held. As an exhibition of agricultural stock in its various departments, it reflected credit upon the zeal, skill, and en terprise of the district with which it is more immediately associated. The entries of stock, on the whole, were rather below the entries of la.t year. The deficiency in number was, however, only small, and the quality more than ade quately compensated for any defect in this particular. TILE BOROUGH OF LEEDS AND THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.—AR effort is now being made at Leeds to obtain the holding in that borough of the united meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and of the York shire Agricultural Society, which is to take place in the summer ( f 1848. A memorial has been sent to the presi dents of the two societies, in which the subscribers engage ' to procure the use of Woodhouse Moor, the barrack-yard, or some other spacious and commodious area for the display of stock, implements, and agricultural produce, as well as for the holding of meetings; and also to contribute to the funds of the two societies the sum of 7001. Should it be ultimately resolved to hold the Royal Agricultural Soeietv's reacting alone, instead of a joint meeting, the sum of 3:;01. will be paid to that association. Nearly SOU is already guaranteed by fifteen gentlemen. NOTTINGIUMSTIIRE. SYSTEMATIC SIVINDLINO.—The Nottingham papers record two cases of swindling, which appear to be unparalleled in that county. Sometime in April last, a person, whose name given was Robert Williams, came to East Retford, and took a respectable shop situate in Bridgegate, which in a few days afterwards he opened for the sale of groceries. The towns men, knowing nothing of hint nor of his connexions, of course, were wary of giving him credit. At first he had but few goods in his shop, but on paying ready money for several parcels, he ultimately got so tar into the good graces of many as to have his name securely placed on their ledgers. Soon aft( commercial travellers began to pay their de voirs to him, and in a few weeks' time his stock of goods had so far increased that he took a second shop in Moor Gate, and appeared to be driving on a most pro fitable business. During the whole of this time, however, Williams seemed to associate with but few people in the town, and appeared to be known to no one, save a person of the name of Morrison, who was in a similar way of business to himself at Worksop. A few weeks back,Williams applied to his landlord in order to induce him to alter the day when his rent should become due, alleging as his reason that he should like to have it fall on the proper quarter days, but, in reality, as afterwards appeared, to defeat Mr. Bcttison in ob taining his quarter's rent. Matters appeared to run smoothly for some time, and, on Saturday, the sth instant, a journey man arrived to assist Williams in his business. On the fol lowing day, Mr. and Mrs. Williams went out, and since then they have neither been seen nor heard of at Retford. On the same day, Mr. Rippingale, sheriff's officer, received a writ of, j:. fa. against Williams' goods, and next morning, with the greatest promptitude, he carried the same into effect. Having obtained possession, he inquired for Williams, but the stranger knew nothing about him. He then proceeded to take an inventory of the gooda,furniture, &c., but found little or none of the latter, and very few of the form er ; i n d ee d , i t was found that' the whole, or nearly so, had been abstracted. There were a few parcels, neatly wrapped out, and written on " Fine Young Hyson," but which, on being opened, contained nothing bat sawdust. The soak, furniture, and fixture of both shops only realised a few pounds, although it is now ascertained that he has latterly obtained goods at Retlord, Gainsborough, Hull, and London, to between 4001. and 5001. Finding how matters stood, some of the tradesmen of Ret ford applied for some information from his quondam friend at Worksop—Morrison, but, in reply, were told that he knew nothing about him, excepting • casual acquaintance. A few days having passed over, Mr. Rippiagale receiveu another writ of h. fa. front the sheriff of the county of Not tingham against Morrison, of Worksop. This he immediately put into request, and at once took possession of Morrison's pre mises. Here he found a journeyman, who pretended he knew nothing whatever as to where his master was, nor was he acquainted with hie circumstances. Here, also, was • quan tity of " Fine Young Ilyson " similar to that found et ;tee ford. On Monday last, the sale took place at Worksop, but did not realise more than about one-half the amount named in the writ. We may, however, state that it is conjectured that these writs are friendly . ones, in order to enable the parties to carry out their nefarious practices, and assist them the Letter to defraud their creditors. It appears that in about three months Morrison has contrived to get into debt between three and four hundred pounds at W' r orksop, Hull, mid London, so (says the Nottingham Journal) that :hese two confederated scamps have robbed the pubic of nearly a thousand pounds. DOIt.SETSIIIItE. DORCHESTER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETT.—The annual meeting and dinner of this society took pace in the county town on Saturday last. In the morning there was a plough ing match in the vicinity of the town, and in the etternoon the successful ploughmen, as well as the other labourers to whom prizes had been awarded (about 30 in number), sat 1 down with the members of the society at their annual dinner. Previous to last year, the labourers partook of roast-beef and plum-pudding by themselves, the members of the society dining by half-guinea tickets. Last year, at the request of the president for the year, Lord Stavordale, the price of the tickets was reduced to 35., and the labourers were admitted to the annual dinner of the society. The plan has no ., been tried two years, and it is probable, from the observations that fell from Lord Stavordale, that next year it will he abandoned, and the former method revived. "In fact there can he no qeestion (saysour correspondent) that the labourers, I, speaking generally, prefer a dinner to themselves, and that the honour of dining with ' their superiors' is no compensa tion fur the restraint under which they labour." ROYAL WINEYIELD AORICYLTYRAL ASSOCIATION. — Yesterday the anniversary meeting of this association t.ink place at Bracknell, Bcrks, and was attended by an unusually large number of the nobility and gentry of the neighbour hood. There was a ploughing match and a dinner, the latter presided over by the Marquis of Downshire. The noble 31arqu is, in proposing " Prosperity to the Royal Wink field Agricultural Association," remarked on the present depressed condition of the agricultural labourers in the dis trict. He saw no reason, he ►aid, why those men, toiling as they did from noon till night, should be so scantily remune rated for their work. It was painfully true thnt upon one of the chief art des of their existence a fatal blight had fallen, and it certainly was but adding to their misfortunes to pay them for their labour just so miteli as would enable them to eke out a bare subsistence. The company enjoyed themselves to a late hour. &MEX. StSPICIOUE DEATII AT BILIGHTO:I.—An inquest was held yesterday on the body of a man who was found dead on the bench en Saturday . morniag. Deceased was found between four and five o'clock by a coast guardsman, who discovered him partly imbedded in the shh gle, about four yards hi low high-water mark. On his person were found documents, front which it would appear that he is a Ger man, and a tailor by trade ; that his name is Christian Marten Muller, and that he is a freemason in the Albion Lodge, London, He appeared to have been dead several hours, and there was a contusion on his left temple and an other on his face. This, coup'. d with the fact ut there being no money or watch found upon him, led to the suspicion that foul pity had been exercised, and the jury in conse quence directed a post mortent examination of the body to be made. This was done, and the surgeon who made the examination stated that he timid no external mai ks of vio lence except that on the temple, and internally there were the usual symptoms of death front drowning. The inquest was then adjourned till Wednesday evening. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1846. KENT. ....... CANTETIBURY. — Tit F. Sot' . flt-EAST ERN RAILWAY.—A highly-influential meeting of inhabitants was held yester day at Canterbury, to pass resolutions with a view to ob tain the best, cheapest, and most direct line of rail way communication," to connect the central and northern parts of Kent with the metropolis ; am' also to consider the reply of the Chairman of the South-eastern Railway Com pany to the letter of the Mayor, communicating the resolu tions of the previous meeting, which has already appeared in our paper. Alderman Plummer was called to the chair. In a few striking words he sketched the position of the city in regard to its communications with the metropolis. Mr. Madden, solicitor, then stepped foi ward to read a com munication from part'esconnee.etl with the London and Kent and South Coast Company, explanatory of a scheme for reaching Dover by Bromley, Sevenoaks, Faversham, and Canterbury. A deputation would have attended, but some of the managing men were in Scotland or on the continent. Mr. Cooper, of Canterbur moved a resolution to the effect: " That this meeting is of opinion that the answer given to the inha bitants of the city of Canterbury, as read by the Chairman from Mr. Me Gregor's letter, was unsatisfactory, no ease for the Increase in the fares on the South-Fa:4cm line being made out; and that every pos sible means should he resorted to for the purpose of resisting any such a monopoly. Ile was sure there could but be but one Meting pervade the whole of the county with respect to this step on the part of the directors, and that he would unhesitatingly so' was nothing less than a feelingof indignation and disgust" Mr. Midden seconded the motion. The Hon. S. It. Lushington, formerly member for the city, defended the company. He entered into a detail of their expenditure, and promised the inhabitants of Canterbury that they would soon receive from the company a cheap and direct railway. He moved that the resolution be rejected. The resolution was carried by an overwhelming majority. A resolution to the effect that the South-Eastern Directors had forfeited the confidence:of tke city and county was carried by a large majority against the oppositions, Mr. Neame and the Hon. S. It. Lushington. A resolution, pledging the meeting to support an independent line, was carried with three dissen tient voices. _ _ OUTRAGE RY MILITARY OFFICERS.—AT ROClleSter, WS terday, William J. Wilkins, an eating-housekeeper, residing at Waits-place, Chatham, whose face was very much t.ruised, called the attention of the magistrates to a violent outrage committed on his person by three military officers. The applicant stated that on Friday night last, about a quarter to 12 o'clock, three officers, dressed in plain clothes, and a half dozen young girls, were creating a considerable disturbance under his window, and he went out to them to beg of them to desist, as he had lodgers in the house in bed. One of them seized him by the neck, and another officer by the arir.a, and they struck hint several severe blows about the head and body, and on his receding into his house, one of the officers struck at him, and his list went through a pane of glass in the door, which cut his wrist; the three offenders then retreated to the billiard-room opposite. Magistrate: Can you identify your assailants ?—Applicant : I can not ; for, at the time, I was so confused, but my wife can ; one of the officers belonged to the Rifles. The next morning I went to the Brigade-Major's office, and there ascertained that the only officer of the Rifles absent from barracks that night was Captain Jones.—Thos. Cooper Dims stated that he had seen the Brigade-Major, Capt. Wood, who had com municated the circumstance to the Commandant, Colonel Sir Thos. Willahire, who said he could not interfere, as it was a case for the civil power. The barrack-gate was open to every one.—The magistrates recommenled the applicant to see Sir Thos. Willshire himself —The applicant:thanked the magistrates, observing, that if the Commandant would not, he would write to the Commander-in-Chief. Sir Drama. PRlNcEss'g.—lt was in the year 1718, that " The History of Miss Clarissa Harlowe " was first published. Richardson, its author, was the inventor of those romances of social life which, under the name of novels, have since, and in all countries of Europe, become the most popular literary compositions During the present year, M. Jules Janin, the most sparkling of feuilletonistes has, with the modest a-sii ranee, proper to this class of writers, produced " Le Remau de Clarissa Harlowe," in two volumes. It has not been our good fortune to read the work last named, and we cannot therefore undertake to determine the exact amount of 'MS which Richardson and our ancestors, his con temporaries, have sustained from the fact that M. Jules Janis flourished a hundred years after them. It was our fate, however, lest night, to witness at this theatre a new drama, "of powerful interest," said the playbill, "written ex pressly for this theatre, now performing and attracting im mense overflows at the Thsatre du Gymnase Dramatique, I'aris, founded on Richardson's celebrate I novel, and entitled ' Clarissa Marlowe ;' " and we are more than ever inclined to wonder at the nice compensations which are to be detected in this sublunary state of existence. Our ancestors had not the romance of itl. Jules Janin ; but then they were spared the drama of MM. Dumanoir, Clair% ille, and Gaillard, one devoid alike of a moral and of morals, and teeming from beginning to end with foul suggestions. The first two acts disclose, either by actual exhibition or distinct narrative, the at tempts of a man ()frank and fashion to seduce a young lady, his equal in rank and fortune. The means he makes use of are the bribing servants; the refraining from corrupting a young peasant girl who, it is assumed, must have yielded to his desires—this is much insisted on ; artful, lying, forging, letters ; firing his own house that his victim may he thrown in disordered attire in his way ; end lastly, administering opium to her and one of his creatures, whom this excess of brutality had revolted, and turned into her defender. At the close of the second act Clarissa lies insensible from opium in an arm c:iair ; near her, also insensible from opium, lies Macdonald, the man who has endeavouresl. to protect her; and, as fle curtain falls, Lovelace signifies that the moment of his triumph has come. In the third act of the version at this theatre, not of the orieinal play, it is intended that she has escaped unsullied from this situation of extreme peril ; an intention that only adds to the grossness of the story, just as drapery imnressed by a coarse hand converts a nude into an indelicate figure. The heroine dies of a broken heart just as Lorelace has come to offer her his hand, from what motive does not appear; and as the curtain falls he and her brother are about to fight a duel over hertody. A numerous hand of eloqueurs, skilfully stationed, and pretty well drilled, contrived to overbear the opposition that was offered to the progress of the piece ; but at the termination they seemed as mutts ashamed of their calling as the Macdonald of the drama, and offered but a feeble resistance to the hisses with which the announcement that the performance would be repeated was received. This piece s a succession of situations, always indelicate, because involsi ig a theme on which even in courts of justice it is considered bad taste to dwell at length, and sometimes inde cent. There is not a single passaac in it that presents a scintilla of literary merit, and while immoral in its deve lopment it is wholly without a moral end. We were pained to see Mrs. Stirling, who played the heroine, compelled to exert all her powers; and we must do the other performers the justice of saying thot they thd not seem to act as if they approved of the play. NAVAL. The Avenger steam frigate, Capt. William., arrived at Devonport ; on Friday afternoon, from the Mediterranean. She was placed under quarantine, but having a clean bill of health, she was released as soon us the necessary forms were gone through. It is expected she will pr(ceed to the east ward. She does not bring any news, and did not, on her passage home, fall in with the experimental equwiron. H. M. S. Hecate, Commander West, captured off the Contzo river, on the Bth ofJuly last, a Brazilian brig, Ilelato ; pogo, with 545 slaves on board, three days from Ambriz ; she has been since sent to St. Helena for adjudication. We regret to state that the master, Mr. G. M. Fox, acd acting boatswain Davidson, of the Hecate, are dead, the former from coup de sokil, and the latter from incautiously re maining its wet clothes alter having fallen accidentally into the water; tho rest of the ship's company were generally very healthy. NoTAL NAVAL STEAM-YARD AT MORICE TOWN.—The total acres of ground to be included in the establishment is about 7.5 acres. The contractors have now employed on the works 7.50 men, 110 horses, 3 steam-engines, with 12 miles of railway. 630,000 cubic feet of stone (granite and lime stone) arc on thc ground, and they arc working seven of the principal quarries of the country. The works will go for ward with the greatest rapidity, and it is expected that a steamer will be admitted into one of the basins within three years and a half from this time. The coffer dam, which the enterpi ring contractors, Messrs. Baker and Son, have under taken on their on n responsibility, is 2,000 feet long, within which the seawall of the same length is to be built. There will he two immense basins, the North Basin, 6.50 ft. by 62:ift., and the South Basin, G 2.3 ft. by 560 ft., each having a depth of 27 feet of water at all times, and will allow of 18 first-class vowels to be fitted out, or 2.5 of all classes, exelusi c of those in the docks. The two basins contain 16 acres. There will be three large docks; one (the North Dock) 360 ft. long by 94 ft. wine, for first rates; another 406 It. long by 82 It. wide, fur the largest steamers; and the third (the South Dock) 300 ft. long by 82 ft. wide. The entrance lock is so contrived as to permit steamers to be ducked at low water, having 18 feet at low water spring tides ; and it can be made either a lock or a dock, as might be required. The factory is to contain every description of machinery for repairing steam-engines, and will be 800 feet long by 300 feet broad. The bailer house, rigging and storehouse, will be in the same building. Such will he the complete efficiency of the establishment, that a vessel will be taken in hand, and passed from one de partment to another in succession, so as to be ready for sea when she is ready to leave the basin.—Plymouth paper.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—YwrzaDAy. Before Mr. Coollllo44oller Shepherd. THE SMALL DEBTS Acr.—A defendant, Hussey, was summoned by a Mr. Allen, under the Small Debts Act, for a certain debt and costs.—Mr. Townshend, solicitor for the defendant, prayed for the dismissal of the summon-, on the ground that the plaintiff did not attend in person. An attorney attended for him.—The learned Commissioner was of opinion that the plaintiff need not attend in person. He attended by his attorney, and that was sufficient —This deci sion is quite at variance with that of the remaining five com missioners of this court, who rule that a plaintiff must attend in person.—Mr. Townshend then submitted that the sum mons must be dismissed, inasmuch as the amount of interest upon the debt was not stated in the particulars of demand. It merely stated "and interest."—Contrl it was urged that the words " and interest " meant the usual rate, viz. 5 per cent—The learned Commissioner considered that the par ticulars of demand were insufficient, and dismissed the sum mons.—Mr. Townshend said that this was the second " ex perimental summons," and must apply for expenses.—Appli cation refused. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT. UNSATISFACTORY ACCOUNTS.—ThomasCTIAM hen, who had been several times remanded for want of giving a satis factory account of his property, and who had been in custody at the suit of Mr. Newton, fur a period of four years, was brought up again to-day to explain the manner in which he had disposed of a specific sum of 4001. On former occasions he had described himself as a journeymen baker, but he to-day admitted that he was a master cook and confectioner. It appeared that the insolvent had been tenant of his detaining creditor, from whom he had obtained a lease of the premises. Ile afterwards sold this with the good-will of his business for 4721., and then decamped. In the course of his previous examinations he gave very contradict try accounts of the way in which be got rid of the money. But, his story to-day was different from all the rest, and was designated by Mr. Cooke, the oppo-ing counsel, "as the last resource of a dis honest debtor." His talc now was, that he went into the country with a female, and that on one afternoon he walked with her into the fields, when, being somewhat in liquor, he laid himself on the grass, and fell asleep. On awaking, the female had gone away, and he discovered that lie had been robbed of 3001. in notes, which he had carried about with him. Ile gave no information of his loss to any one, nor had he adopted any means to recover the property.—Mr. Cooke said the tale was too improbable for the court to enter tain. The notes had nev. r ixen presented to any bank for payment, which made the case of robbery a mete fiction. •—The Commissioner lamented, that, by the present state of the law, the pow , .r of the court was rendered almost abor tive, by its sentence being required to refer back to the time of the vesting order, instead of taking place from the day it was pronounced He then dismissed the schedule and order for hearing. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. There sessions commenced yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. Mr. Sesjeant Adams was compelled to adjourn the sittings to a r court in the Sessions-house, in conse quence of the court being in a state of repair, and the smell of the paint la ing insuilbrable.—Mr. Clarkson suggested the propriety of the grand jury returning a bill against the con tractor for a nuisance.—The learned judge thought it would not be a bad course to pursue if they returned a bill to the same effect against the whole court. There were 72 gentle men from the surrounding neighbourhood summoned to attend as grand jurors when there were only six prisoners for trial, and only four cases; the triad evt n of such a small number putting the county to an expense nearly equal to that of Middlesex, there being at the sessions of that county about 120 prisoners for trial on an average every fortnight. Tue.. ENFIELD ASSAULT.—George GoINDI was indicted for an assault on George Lovell, on the 22nd of August last. —Mr. Doane said his client wished to plead guilty, as he was quite sensible of the crime he had committed, and expressed his deep Borrow. When he assaulted Mr. Lovell, he was under the impression that Mr. Lovell was the means of giving him more work without an increase of pay; and, while under that impression, being, as the prosecutor ad mitted, almost mad, he struck Mr. Lovell with a very dangerous instrument, called a rasp.—Mr. Clarkson, on the part of the Ordnance, said there was another case, which arose out of the present.—Mr. Serjeant Adams reserved the sentence until after the other case should be heard. James Gunner was indicted for committing an assault upon George Gowen, the prisoner in the above case. Mr. Doane said there could be no palliation for the assault com mitted on his client. The prisoner was acting under the prosecutor in the former case, and after Gowen struck Lovell with the rasp he walked away, but was secured by three persons. The prisoner came towards them, and, when near them, he returned and procured a gun barrel, which he seized by the muzzle, and, lifting it over his shoulder, struck the prosecutor with it on the head, cutting the flesh to the bone and inflicting a wound which had kept him in the hospital ever since. He was proceeding to call witnesses, when the learned judge intimated that it would be better to have a nominal verdict than to let the case proceed, as it was his impression that the prisoner acted in the way he had done thinking that it would save the life of Mr. Lovell. They wire both such dangerous in struments to strike with, that under any other circumstances a very severe punishment would be inflicted, but he (the learned judge) thought Gowen had received sufficient pun ishment for the assault he had committed, as the bandages on his head showed.—Mr. Clarkson said the case had been greatly misrepresented, and he would show that his client was entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Lovell, finding the work had been done a•. badly of late, was induced to bring speci ' mens and have the work done by them at the same cost; this it was that led to the assault.—Aßer a short discussion, the learned judge discharged the jury and sevcr&ly reprimanded the prisoner for using such a weapon to strike any person with, and then dis-hanged him. Gowen was fined Is. for the assault and discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. - MONDAY . OLD COURT.—refore the Itecorth r. George Faz — hercrt, 2G, a young man of respectable ap pearance was indicted for stealing two gold watches, one belonging to Joseph Kaiser, and the other to Mr. Harris. He was found Guilty of both charges, and sentenced to transportation for ten years. The prisoner was the com panion of the man Fitzsimons, who was convicted at this court sometime since ■s participator in the theft of Mr. Harris's watch, and who was also under a charge of robbing the Lord Maser of his watch, at the Blackw•all Railway terminus. After the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner Fitzhc rhea begged to be allowed to address the court. He said that although Fitzsimons had been convicted as his companion in the robbery at Mr. Harris's, he declared before the Almighty, that the man was perfectly innocent, and that the witnesses were mistaken as to his identity. Ile added that Fitzsimons was not more than five feet four high, whereas the man who really went into the shop, was hve feet nine,—The Recorder said it would be impossible to pay attention to the declarations made by prisoners respecting other parties, under such circumstances, or allow ft em to weigh against the solemn verdict of a jury, founded upon the evidence brought before them.—Mr. Payne remarked that thene had been eases where parties were mistaken as to the person, to whose identity they had nevertheless sworn positively.—The Recorder did not mean to say that such a thing had never occurred, but of this he was certain, that in nmety-nine cases out of a hundred, where such assertions were made by prisoners, with regard to the innocence of other persons accused of an offence, they had no foundation or truth.—Mr. Harris, in an. swer to a question from the court said, he had not the slightest doubt as to the identity of Fitzsimons, and his daughter and another young lady who were in the shop also swore positively to him, and besides this, before the trial took place, a person came to him from Fitz simons and offered him the value of the watch and chain that had been stolen, if he would not appear against him. — Mr. C o pe, the governor of Newgute, informed the court that after Fitzsimons had been convicted he made a communica tion to him to the effect that if Mr. Harris went to Maryle bone Police Court, he would see the man who bad robbed him. The present prisoner was at that time under remand at that court, and when Mr. Harris went there he identified him. Mr. Cope added that Fitzsimons had declared all along that he was innocent of the robbery.—The Recorder remarked that it was rather an odd circumstance if Fitz simons was not the companion of the prisoner that he should know he had committal the rohb'ry.—Mr. Cope said that the prisoner now before the Court had informed him that he was in the Court and heard the whole of the trial of Fitzsimons.—The prisoner was then removed repeating his declaration that Fitzsimons was innocent of the crime of which he had been convicted. THIRD COl:RT.—Before the Common Serjeant. FALSE CH A KG E.—iienry Niche/s, a member of the Inner Temple, surrendered to abide his trial, on an indictment charging him with improper conduct towards Frances Jane Garlick, a girl under twelve years of age.—Frances Garlick who stated herself to be ten years and six months old, described the imputed offence, which was said to have taken place in Greenwich-park on the Ist inst. In her cross-examination, she admitted that she was often put in contact with bac:characters, as her mother sent drc ses to them by her, her mother being a dressmaker.—Elizabeth Garlick : lam the mother of the last witness. I went into the middle lawn on the day named, and saw the children. The prisoner was lying near my little girl. I kept my eye on him when my child looked up and said to her brether, " Here tomes mother." She then told me what she has stated, and I went to him and asked kim what he meant. He then got up, and ran away toward One Tree-bill, and as I could not keep up with him he escaped, but was subsequently taken into cus tody. This witness, in her cross-examination, positively swore that she never yet sent her child to persons of bad character.—Susannah Mather and Hannah Savannah cor roborated the above testimony.—John Braddick : I overtook the prisoner on One Tree-hill. He was running, and asked me not to stop him, as he wanted to get to the steam-boat. He was taken back to the girl, and denied all that was alleged against him. Cross-examined: Prisoner was going down the hill. It is a very steep one, and a person cannot help running. Had known the two last girls who gave evidence, and had cautioned them in conse quence of their conduct towards gentlemen in the parks.—Mr. Clarkson, for the prisoner, most solemnly protested his innocence, and on that he rested his case. The learned gentleman expressed his regret that the law would not allow him to call witnesses to prove the real characters of those who had been examined for the prosecution.—The Common Serjeant said he would take upon himself to call one of the park-keepers, to inquire whether the witness upon whose evidence the case mainly rested was to be believed on her oath. She had sworn that she had never been in the park but twice before.—The park-keeper stated that, instead of twice, the girl was a constant, almost a daily visitor of the park—in feet, had almost lived in it. She was one of a gang of girls whose obscene behaviour had become a perfect nuisance.—The learned judge said he had long been of opinion that the elder witnesses were unworthy of credit.— The jury instantly Acquitted the prisoner, who was imme diately set at liberty. POLICE.-YESTERDAY. BOW-STREET.—Mary Ann Murphy was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall, charged with creating a disturbance in Crown-street, Soho, and obstructing policeman F 145 in the execution of his duty.—The policeman said that, being on duty in Crown-street, on Sunday evening, he saw the pri soner quarreling with a man and some women who were standing with her under an archway, where they were taking shelter. He told them that if they could not be quiet they must go away. The man and the other women went away, but the prisoner refused to stir. 'Witness said she must go away, and if she did not he must take her into custody ; but she still refused to go away, and he took her in charge.—Mr. Hall : When the other people went away there was no fur ther necessity for interference. It was all at an end then, and there was no need for sending her away ; besides, it was raining. Why did VOL wish to send her on ? Witness said she swore at him.—Mr. Hall: It was very wrong for her to use such language as that, but you should not have meddled with her when the man and woman had gone on. Well, go on.—The witness then stated that on her way to the station-house the prisoner reksted violently, called him indecent names, and struck him in the face twice.—Mr. Hall; You said nothing about that last night at the station house.—Witness No, I did not.—Mr. Hall (to the pri soner): Under the circumstances I will discharge you ; but, remember, you ought not, under any circumstances, to use abusive language to the policeman, or to assault him.— Prisoner : I did not do either; what he has said is false. —Mr. Mali ; Well, you are discharged now. MARL DO ROUG H -STREET.—Jas. Bruce was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having defrauded several watchmakers to a considerable amount, under these circumstances:—lt appeared from the evidence of an assist ant to Mr. Delolme, watchmaker, Itathbone-place. that the prisoner was the ?OIL of a jeweller and watchmaker in Jermyn street, and that he was employed in the business. The pri solo r came to his master's shop on the 15th of September, and obtained two watches, under a pretence that he had been requested to procure them on aecount of his mother, who carried on the business in Jermyn-street. Shortly after the transaction the prisoner called again at the shop, and obtain, d three tarn, watches, all of which he said were for his mother. The property thus fraudulently obtained amounted to up wards of 401. in value.—Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of the prisoner ; but as there were other charges of a like nature against him, which render a remand indispensable, the pri soner reserved his defence for the present. BeN EVOLENCE.-10/. has been received from" E. R." to be placed in the poor-b;:. WORSHIP-STREET.—Tren ELEgrate TELEGRAPH. — A countryman, named Benjamin Daniels, was charged on suspicion of having absconded, and stolen the sum of 311., the property of Nlr. John Baxter, a in Attr Butcher, residing at Norwich.—Thomas Ashton, an inspector of the Eastern Counties Railway, stated that between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, a communication was received at the Shoreditch terminus, by means of the electric telegraph, from Norwich, to the effect that Daniels, whose dress and person weredescribed, had left that place by the 11 o'clock train, and directing, on its arrival in town, that he might be given into custody. The nature of the offence he had committed not having been specified, a telegraphic dispatch was at once transmitted back for further particulars, the answer to which was, that the accused person had absconded with 341., and that the prosecutor would come up by the next train to sub stanti de the charge. About three hours after the above in terchange of communications, which occupied only about five minutes, the train in question arrived at Shoreditch, and as the person of the prisoner, who was one of the pas wagers, corresponded exactly with the description they had received, he was given into custody.—Mr. John Baxter stated that he had had frequent dealings with the prisoner, who was also a master butcher at Norwich, and about a week since, he sold two bullocks to the latter for the above-men tioned sum, which the prisoner promised to pay to him when they met at market on the following Saturday. The pri soner, however, failed to keep his appointment, and having ascertained from subsequent inquiries that he had started by the railway that morning fur London, witness instantly hastened to the office of the electric telegraph, and gave the necessary instructions for the prisoner's apprehension.—ln I answer to the charge, the poisoner emphatically denied being actuated by any fraudulent intention, and expressed his readiness to satisfy the prosecutor's claim, notwithstanding the harsh and injurious treatment to which he had been sub jected.—Mr. Broughton considered that the prosecutor had been very ill-adt iwd in the course he had adopted, as the transaction amounted to a mere matter of account between the parties, which ought not for a moment to be made the subject of criminal proceedings, and he should therefore order the prisoner to be discharged. BEN EvuLENcE.—A donation of 101. for the poor-box seas received by the magistrate from " E. R.," an acknowledg ment of which was requested. MARYLLDVAr..—JVIC!DE ATTEMPTED.—Ann Dunn, a girl about 1.5 years of age, was charged with having stolen a silk handkerchief, but was liberated on promising to appear again to-day. About an hour after her release, she was brought back to the court completely saturated with water. —Mr. Skinner, a surgeon, deposed that on the same day, soon alter 1 o'clock, as he was passing Gloster-gate, Regent's park, he heard several violent screams, and presently per ceived a female (the prisoner) struggling in the canal. She was fortunately rescued from drowning by the assistance of two persons, who climbed over the railings ; and on witncsa subsequently questioning her as to her motive for throwing herself in, she replied that, being unable to get home on Sa turday night as soon as was required of her, she w:l4 afraid to go Lack to her father again. —Mr. Itawlinaon : What can you mean by making this wicked attempt upon your life ? Prisoner (crying): I was afraid to go home, sir.—The father said she had no reason whatever to be afraid of anytking of the sort, and promised to look properly after her in future. SOUTHWARK.—lliehael 'lathy, a well-known thief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with having in his possession a quantity of rope-yarn stolen from a barge belonging to a lighterman named Pinner, at l'ickle Herring Wharf, Tooley-street.—Poliee-comitable 202 M said, that about 7 o'clock on Saturday evening he saw the prisoner leaving Pickle Heeling Wharf with a large quantity of rope yarn on his shoulder. Knowing him to be an oia thief he watched him into a marine store dealer's, at the corner of Vine-yard Tooley-street. He followed him into the latter place, and saw hint offer the yarn for sale, when he took him into custody. There was about two hundred weight of it, worth 301. After he locked the prisoner up, be ascertained that one of Mr. Pinner's barges, lying at the above wharf, contained rope yarn ex actly like that found in the prisoner's possession.—Mr. l'inner said, one of his barges came alongside the wharf on Saturday afternoon, with rope-yarn similar to that produced, and lie had no doubt the butt, r had been stolen from the barge.— The constable said the prisoner had been convicted of similar robberies, and was associated with a notorious gang of thieves, infeating the different wharfs in Tooley-street.—Mr. Seeker said, that lie had no doubt the prisoner had stolen the rope-yarn in question, hut in the absence of proof he could not commit him for trial. lie should, however, sen tence him to two months' hard labour in the House of Cor rection for unlawful possession. THAMES.—A Los nos Bar.—A lad named Joseph Bender was charged with wilfully breaking a square of glass in a window in the Mile-end-road. It appeared that the prisoner, who is scarcely ten years of age, and who was visible in the dock only from the eves upwards, was playing with another lad in the neighbourhood of the prosecutor's house, when, without the slightest provocation, and appa rently actuated by the me-re spirit of mischief, lie wantonly and deliberately smashed the square of glass. When given into the custody of the constable, he at first refused to give any account of himself,. but ultimately stated that his father was dead, and his mother lived in Felix-street, Brick-lane ; hut that there was no person to care or look after hini.—Mr. Ballantine wished him to be placed on the floor in front of the dock ; and the little urchin's appearance was calculated to provoke surprise that such an infant should be held ame nable to the lima—Roche, the jailor, being directed to ex• amine his dress, said it consisted of a corduroy suit, very old and torn, and held together on his person with pins. His head and feet were quite bare, and both in a most filthy con dition.—Mr. Ballantine: Who will take care of one so full of mischief ?—The worthy magistrate, however, quickly an swered his own position, by ordering the wretched child to betaken to the workhouse, and directing an usher to pay for the square of glass. WANDSWORTH. —A summons was yesterday granted against a student of the College of Civil Engineers, who it appeared had committed an assault upon a young woman named Tovey. The complainant stated that the student on being repulsed had sought refuge in the college ; that the porter had admitted him and closed the gates against the woman who pursued him, refusing to tell the offender's name, or to take her complaint to the Principal. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY EVENING. The first transactions in Consols this morning were done at the same rates as ruled on the last day of business. Towards midday, however, a move ment in advance took place, to the extent of t, which was improved before the close of business into J. Consols. therefore, left off 951 to 1 for money, and for account 951 to I. This rather unexpected advance may be attributed to the more pacific appearance, or rather the apparent subsidence of agitation on the Spanish marriage question.

The share and scrip market was heavy in the early part of yesterday, but towards the close there was a manifest appearance of improvement. Blackwalls advanced to 91 buyers. Brighton were also better. The Richmond share holders are taking their money, it appears, instead of the South Western stock. The fact would seem to show an opi nion adverse to any immediate improvement of the South Western. According to the terms of agreement, it will be remembered that the South Western Company give the Richmond proprietary a bonus of ten per cent., to be paid either in money or in South Western stock, at option. A fair business was done in Cornwall and Devon. Lciccsters and Bedfords heavy, and sellers. Cambridge and Oxford were firmer. Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham, steady.
