The foresail only was alt. No one knew where they were. Commander Pitman, who had had the management of the navigation LI the ship during his sickness, asked him where they were; he told him on a shoal, many miles from the route the COM. mender thought he was navigating the ship. Ile maw nothing would relieve the ship slakes she passed over the shoal, and he ordered the mainmast to be cut away and the guns to be thrown overboard, which hen* been done the ship paused over the shoal into still water within its basin.

The evidence for the prosecution was very lengthy, and occupied the whole of the day. It appeared that the master, at the time she struck , was on the sick list, and irresponsible for his duties, the cap tain having taken them upon him. The ship was making a voyage from Poet Royal to Havana, and the crew being sickly, the captain wished to supply them with fresh meat, and therefore &Sired to heave to near the Carson tort acme turtle. It was in approaching the island, while passing along the coast, that thee touched a coral reef. After having taken in turtle the ship bore away for Havanna, but in ea tering the cur an of the port she struck nain ; she was still usdir the c 'monad of the captain. The wart win adjourned front Monday to Tuesday, when Captain Wood made a speech in his defence. While he attributed a certain amount of blame to himself, he pleaded in extenuation that he woe following a course pricked down by thu d ter, that the coral reef was net marked in the Mart, he said the injury to the ship's keel wait very slight.

The treatment which he received from him had driven him to a state of madame which be found insupportable, and in which he had been guilty of the rash act of abeentiog 'desalt from the ship. He was aware that he could not plead this as a justification, but his feelings were wrought into a state of frenzy by the captain, sad he was, at the time he left, smarting under the disgrace of being railed a liar by him. In his desperation he was not ithinlitit and scarcely knew what he wall doing. At the same time that he made these statements of the be- Natives to the act he wee guilty of, and expressed his deepest regret that it bad been committed, be would wish to show to the court that his Knees on board the Childers had not been useless. On one fearful night, when the Childers was in immisset danger, the topsail requiring to be loosed, he ordered the men to loose it, bat they efused, until he led the way, and went loft,and per formed the h az ardous dui,.

He repeated. he did not make this state ment in justification of has offence, but to show the state di his mind when he committed the fatal set. Testimonials to his good conduct, sobriety, and ability, were read by Mr. Beer. They spore from the following officers, with whom he sailed: Captain William Montague, Commander J. B.

The defendant had been admitted as an attorney for several years, and he carried on his profession in partnership with a gentleman named James, at Aylesbury. The latter had not been so long in the pro frisson as the defendant, and he entrusted the whole of his business at Aylesbury, and particularly that portion of it relating to Chancery proceeding'', to the defendant, in whom he placed the utmcell confidence. It appeared that, in 1847, the defendant was engaged to act as attorney in a Chancery suit, for cer tain infants named Miles, and it was necessary that they should sue by their 'next friend, and a gentleman named Soden, who was their uncle, consented to act in that capa city for them, but upon the express , understanding that he should not incur any liability for costs. The suit went on, and at leer proceedings were taken to aeon e the attorney, and a gen tleman named K rk was employed instead of the defendant to conduct the suit, and in the commencement of the present year the defendant brought an action wiping Mr. Soden for 365 f., the amo def e nd e d costs that had been incurred. The action was and upon the defen dant's bill going bef ire the master to be taxed, the retainer in question was produced. The body of the document was in the handwriting of the defendant, but the sige.ature, although it bore a close resemblance to Mr. Soden 's hand writing, he should be able most distinctly to show them was a forgery. The action proceeded, but an the evening before it was to come to trial the defendant withdrew the record and declined to go on, although, as he alleged, he had a distinct retainer from Mr. Soden in his possession. Mr. James, upon becoming acquainted with what bad taken pace, addressed a communication to the defendant, which be should put In evidence, and likewise some other letters which passed between them, and by which it would ap pear that the defendant did not deny that he had committed the act Imputed to him, but endeavoured to give some explanation of it. The defend ant subsequently obtained possession of the document in question, and took it, with all the other papers in the action, to his dike at Aylesbury ; but Mr. James finding . that the matter was of such a nature as to demand inquiry, went down there, and in the absence of the defendant he felt him self justified in breaking open the drawers in the effice, and thus obtained possessiorOf the instrument upon which the present indictment was founded. Mr. Bull, the clerk to Mr. Meeking, the London agent for the defendant in the chancery suit, produced all the papers connected with it. He also proved the production by the defendant of the alleged con e set of Mr. Soden to act as next friend in the suit, and the subeequent proceedings in reference to the se- Lion brought by the defendant to recover his emits from Mr. Soden. The cause, it appeared, stood for trial is the Ex chequer on the 26th April, but the record was withdrawn by the defendant. Cross-examined—Mr. James had been clerk to Mr. Dun can, the solicitor to the Eastern Counties Railway' Company, and he was engaged in that capacity until Mr. Duncan ceased to be connected with the company. The whole of the business at Aylesbury was carried on by the defendant, and Mr. James did not interfere with it, but resided in Lon don. He did not recollect hearing the defendant say any thing about having lost an original consent paper; but he certainly did say something to him about having lost a retainer, but he did not remember having searched for it, or being requested to do so by Mr. Smithies. When the de fendant first produced the retainer before the Master, it ap peared to him that it was for the purpose of filing the date. The Chanty suit had been going on for nearly two years, and it was now being carried on by Mr. kirk. The business at Aylesbury increased after the defendant became a partner. The whole of the pap ers . in " Miles v. Miles," and " Smi titles " were t ied up together, and he handed the whole of them together to the defendant. The witness then identified a letter which was produced as the handwriting of Mr. Soden. The letter was put in. It was to the effect that Mr. Soden was willing to do all he could for the benefit of the family of the Miles', but stated that he would not find security for more than 2001. By Mr. Bodkin—When the retainer was produced the de fondant did not say a word about its being • copy, and his impression was that he stated it was the original consent. The document was then put in and read. It was as follows examined ali Gr ir""l tose • by Mr. James—Mr. Holding, the solicitor to Mr. E. Vicars, requested him to give him such a report es he thought Mr. Vicar.' case required. There was much yet to be discovered with respect to electricity, and it wu not surprising that a partially-educated man should have crag. gerated notions of it. He believed that upon all ordinary cases Mr. E. Vicars was sane, and it was his impression that it would be cruel to confine him. Madness arising from de., lirium tremens was easier cured than any other madness. By the Commissioner—Witness thought it would be hard to deprive Mr. E. Vicars of his civil rights. Witness thought Mr. Vicars also was fitto be afree agent in the dis posal of his property and hie person, and the management of his affairs. In answer to a question from one of the jury, the witness said he should not think himself justified in giving a certificate that would confine Mr. Vicars in a lunatic asylum. Mr. Vicars was then examined by the Commissioner, and gave most rational answers to all the questions put to him. He admitted that he had had delusions, but he believed now they were the effect of delirium tremens. The jury, after hearing the explanations and answers given by Mr. Vicars, stated that they were all satified that Mr. N lours was not of unsound mind. The announcement was rescind in court with much cheer ing. The result of this verdiet will be to give to Mr. Vicars the management of his poem and his property, and to est him at liberty.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS....•YESTERDAY. REPOIR Ma. WMI4II. A SCENE! IN COURT — Masa Johnson and Mary White were indicted for having stolen a dress, the property of Frances Linger& White pleaded guilty. Mr. Mellor appeared to defend Johnson, and the evidence haying been given, that learned gentle-cern proceeded to ad dress the jury for his client, contending that the evidence was not sufficiently clear to justify a eonv.etion. The prose metric had given her evidence in such a manner as to lead one to suppose that she was in such a state of mental un certainty as not to know whether what she deposed to as reality were indeed reality or the faint remembrance of a dream, or the fancies of an overheated imagination—phenc menu of the brain, if be might use such an expression. Mr. Witham (interrupting)-1 hope you are not going to give as a lecture about phrenology, or cerebral physiology ? You are wasting the time of the court with a speech not bearing upon the eras. It has been endured too long. Mr. Mellor, with great warmth, said that he was discharg ing his duty to his client, end as counsel for the prisoner be would not submit to such unwarrantable and offensive inter ruption from the bench. Mr. Witham—Address yourself to the facts. Mr. Mellor—l am doing so, and can perform my duty pro perly without your dictation, sir. In stopping me, and making such unbecoming observations as ycu have just done you have done that which the able and experienced assistant judge, Mr. Serjeant Adams, whose seat you occupy, would not have dose, for he knows well what is the proper dignity and demeanor of &judge to the bar, which it seems you do not. Had you his experience or ability, you would not have interfered in so improper a manner with me in the discharge of my duty; and I will not submit to it. Mr Witham—You were uselessly eccupeing the time of the court, and you always do. Had Mr. Serjeant Adams been here, he would have put you down twenty minutes ago. There, go on. Mr. Mellor—No, he woult' not : and as to going on, I shall ge on, and in what manner I please. As a member of the bar I have privileges ; and I have • duty to perform as counsel for the man at the bar. I should be unworthy of being such member of the bar, and I should not be dis charging my duty to my client, if I allowed those privileges to bo Intruded upon in the manner you have just taken upon yourself to exhibit. The judges en Westminster Hall would not have done so, end how dare you do that which they would scorn? It es only men of impatience, ittexpe rienee, of rash judgment, and who do not know how to fill their high position, that would do so, and, standing upon principle. 1 ask you how dare you thus interfere with me ? Mr. Witham made no reply, and Mr. Mellor resumed his address to the jury. After ex pressing his sorrow that such a scene as they had just wit nessed had taken place—sorrow he meant, for the indite cretion that gave rise to it, he entreated them, in the consi deration of their verdict, to use their own calm reason and judgment, and not allow their minds to be biased, influ enced, or prejudiced, by what they might hear in the shape of a summing up from the chairman. Mr. Witham then summed up. He said that Mr. Ser. jeant Adams was c sntinually corn;ilaining of the mode of defence adopted by Mr. Meller, who invariably made long epeeists not bearing on the issue. Mr. Mellor—l deny the truth of what you are saying. Mr. Witham having concluded, the jury found the prisoner Uullty, and he was sentenced to six months' hare lafinur, the woman to three.

" I hereby consent to act as neat friend to the infants for the purposes of this suit. RICHARD SODEN." Richard Soden deposed that he was an innkeeper, and re sided at Castlethorpe, Bucks. He was uncle by marriage to the plaintiff in the suit of " Miles v. Miles." The signature to the consent that had Lbeen produced was not his writing, and he never signed such an instrument or authorised any person to sign it for him. The signature was very like his hand writing, and was a good imitation of it. Mr. Smithies was the solicitor in the Chancery suit, and the first time he saw him was on the 29th of May, 1817, at his office in Aylesbury. Ile went to him upon that occasion, in conse quence of a note he received from one of his nieces ; and a person named Frederick Monk accompsnie I him. They discussed at this meeting the question of his becoming next friend, and he told the defendant that he had no objection to lend his name to serve his nephews, but he would not be responsible for any costs ; and Mr. Smithies replied that he would not be called upon for any. He did not sign any paper on that occasion, and he distinctly understood that he was not to be responsible for costs. He saw Mr. Smithies several times afterwards, but nothing was ever said about costs, and he never signed any paper consenting to be re sponsible. An action was afterwards brought against him for the costs, which he defended. Several letters were here put in which had passed between Mr. Soden and Mr. Smithies, relative to the Chancery suit. Mr. James was then called as a witness. He deposed he was an attorney of the Court of Queen's bench, but not of the Court of Chancery, and he now curled on his business at Aylesbury. His father and grandfather had carried on busi• nese in the same town. The defendant became his partner in 1846, and he had *he entire management of the Chancery snit " Miles v. Miles." He remembered the action being brought by Mr. Smithies against Mr. Soden, and he heard of the record being withdrawn on the 26th May, and he in quired of the defendant how he came to withdraw the re. cord after the positive assurances he had given him of Kr. Soden's liability. The defendant replied, that upon • axe saltation he bad told his counsel that a witness was to be called fur him, who was known to be so great a black guard, that he would not be allowed to go into the box br kis counsel. Witness then said he had better settle, and not • word was said ab nit the retainer on this occasion. Witness on a subsequent occasion again inquired I why he had withdrawn the record, end the defendant replied that be bad lost the retainer. Witness remarked that a re tainer had been produced before the master, and he replied that it was a copy, and he said he had drawn it up from memory. He then asked him if he had signed Mr. Soden's name to it, and he said ha did, and also that he had imitated the signature. Witness with an civil said that it was a I forgery, end the defendant answered that he might call it se if he pleased. Witness then said it was the first time such • thing kid happened in his office, and he would take care it was the last. They then carted, and the next day he wrote I a letter to the defendant, in which he expressed his intention to have no further intercourse with him, and upbraided him with his conduct relating to the alleged retainer by Mr. Soden. Mr. Frederick Miles deposed that he accompanied Mr. Soden to Mr. Smithies's office, in May, 1847, but he did not see his uncle sign any paper. Ho consented to act fur the benefit of the family in the Chancery suit, but expressly said that he would not render himself liable to the payment of any mete. Croes-examined—His uncle had always denied having signed any such paper as the one in question. He had said that he thought his uncle might have signed • paper, but had no recollection of his having actually done so. This was the cue for the prosecution. Mr. Cooke took some technical objections to the indict men', contending that at common law the offence of uttering a forged instrument could not be supported unlmss there was clearly shown to be an intention to defraud. He likewise anbinitted to his lordship, that as there was no proof of • forgery having been committed within the Central Criminal C 'tut district, this Court had no joriadiction. Mr. Justice Erie, after some argument, said he thought there was suffieleat evidence to go to the jury. Mr. Cooke accordingly addressed them for the defendant, and after having called their attention to the curious nature of the charge, he called upon them to remember that that was not a prosecution by any person who had been injured; but ft was a prosecution by one attorney against his partner for the object, as he should contend, not of vindicating the law, but of effecting his own private object, of destroying the partnership, and obtaining all the profits of the business himself He could not conceive what was the object of the forgery, if forgery had been committed, for Mr. Soden bad Aag. 24 Sept. 7 Aug. 28 0 Aug. 29 0 0 Aug.2s Mots-at Shields, August 29, from Amos-off Deadly fiend, August 17, kOlll AGAMEMNON-at Gravesend, 'August 22, frau__ ~ „ Arrwooo-rat Gravesend, Auguot 22, from ...__Jaiiii7,l6 - Asrozn--01 Liverpool, August 22, from --amiss BATIIVRAT - at Gravesend, Augurt 22, from .., __Es.eur.

Comm Omar. TIN LATI .—C MCIDERS IN LEVEMON•STREZTONVICTION OP THI MPRDZILIR. Mr. Justice ratteson, having in the early part of yester day gone through the whole of the eases on the crown side, with the exception of that of John Glees= Wilson, alias Maurice Wilson, for the murder of Ann Menrichson, G an en II e n i li a c rr hsio i 7 , . w . 1 . 0 .1.

Although it was attempted, for all purposes of convenience, to keep the matter secret, from the time the arrange ment was come to, the information continued to ooze out, and for two hours previous to the time fixed for the trial (1 o'clock), the court continued gradually to fill, and at the hoar appointed was thronged with pi rsons of most rupee. table a ppearance. There were four separate indictments against the prisoner. He was put upon his trial on the one charging him with having on the 25th of March last. at the borough of Liver pool, wilfully murdered Mary Parr (the servant to Mrs. Henrichson) by striking her with a poker. On the clerk of arraigns ordering the gaoler to " put up John Gleason 'Wilson" ell eyes were directed towards the dock, and the prisoner entered it amidst suppressed mur murs. He was attired as on the previous occasion of exami nation, and appeared to be in good health and spirits, not manifesting the least trepidation. On being called upon to plead, in a firm, shrill voice be answered, "Not guilty." , Mr. Serjeant Wilkins Mr. Blair, and Mr. Paget con , basted the prosecution ; , Mr. Joseph Pollock and Mr. Brett banded the prisoner. The indictment having been re-read, Mr. Serjeant Wilkins proceeded to state the cue to the The prisoner then in the dock was charged byith the indictment upon which they were t hen trying bim, w the wilful murder of Mary Parr. The deceased was a do mestic servant in the employ of Mn. Henrichson, the wife of a Captain Henrichson, the master of a ship called the Duman, belonging to highly respectable merchants of this port. The family consisted of Mrs. Henrichson herself, tA 0 little boys, her children, the one five years olds nd the other three, and the servant-maid , the deceased gi, into whose melanchol death they were then inquiring Between 4 and 5 o' clo y ck in the a ft ernoon of Tuesday the 27th if March last, the prisoner at the bar called at the hone of Mrs. Hen richson, which was situated No. 20 is Levesonodrest, to make inquiries respecting the apartments, and after mbed-room soe conversa tion he agreed to tale the parlour and top front ; and after concluding the treaty he left the house, but re turned at eight o'clock, and at ten o'clock he went to bed. The nest morning he got up early end went out, and at halt. past seven o'clock he called at a tavern in Great Osorge's. street and got a glass of ale. He then left the tavern, but *eon after nine o'clock returned. He then wised for a wafer, bat was told by Mrs. Parr, the landlady, that she had not a wafer, but could accommodate him with black sealing w,x. The prirooer accepted it, and with it a letter was sealed and an impression of the thimble of Mrs. Parr plaited urn it. The prisoner Unused he could not write, and requested Mrs. Parr to place a direction upon the letter for him Mrs. Parr's eyesight being defective, she called for her daughter. and ?dim Mary Ann Parr addressed the letter, by direction of the prisoner, t 6 " John Wilson, No. 20, Leveson street, Liverpool." The prisoner got a boy named bi'Derutot to follow him to the house, and deliver this letter to him. At that time he was without money, and borrowed some half pence with which to reward the boy. About 11 o'clock in the owning Mee. Henrichson went out, as was her wont, to purchase the necessary articles for the house. She proceeded to the shop of hr. Cos in St. Jams's-street, wizen she mode a purchase of some potatoes, and a boy nedkeTiteth - eny M'Carney took the potatoes to the house in Lumen street ; and he (Serjt. Wilkins) would call the particular attention of the jury to this c reuutance, because he thought they would have no doubt, when they had heard the whole of the story, that the murder of the servant girl took plus whilst Mn. Henricheon was absent. When the boy took the potatoes the prisoner answered to his knock at the door; he partly opened the door, took the pota toes, and almost immediately afterwards returned the bas ket, having evidently thrown the contents upon the flu; and the potatoes were subsequently found scattered about the parlour. The boy was paracularlv struck with the appe ar an of the man who opened the door, who he (the boy had so doubt whatever was the prisoner . Oa turning to leave the doorsteps the boy met Mrs. Henrichson, woo, there could not remain a doubt in the mind of any rational being, shared the same fate as the unfortunate girl, im mediately upon entering the house, as she was found lying with her head in the pall - Ate and her feet in the pas sage, with her bonnet, mantle, and gloves oa.

Mary Anne Piper, who lived with the prisoner, stated that on the previous evening the prisoner, who had been drink ing, lifted her out of bed, and attempted to throw her out of the window of the room into the street. But for her resist ance and the interference of a man who lived in the same house, and who was attracted by her screams, he would have tffi cted his object. The prisoner made no defence, and was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. CRUELTY TO IL CHILD. —Yesterday Richard Harrison, of 21, Coleshillotreet, Pimlico, grocer, and Maria, his wife, a middle-aged woman, of most forbidding appearance, under went a lengthened examination, charged with horrible cruelty toe child. The principal witness in the case was the child, who stated that her name was Ellen Harrison, and that she had been sent by her parents to live with the prisoners. She had been frequently cruelly beaten with a horsewhip, hung up with a rope by the heels for a cosoidtrable time, and other. wise brutally ill-treated by the prisoners. The medical evi• deuce proved that the child was severely cut and bruised on several parts of the body and on the head. Several persons living in the neighbourhood corroborated the testimony of the child as to the cruel manner in which the prisoners had been in the habit of acting towards her. Mr. Broderip, having iatimated that this was by far too serious a case for hint to deal with summarily, asked the ac cused if they had anything to say. By the advice of their advocate ' they replied " nothing." Mr. Broderip said it was his duty to commit them for these cruel assaults for trial at the Middlesex sessions, but he would take sureties in 401. each (two bail for each in that amount) for their appearance. Mr. Chappell said in the meantime the child should be taken care of by the parish, who would prosecute. In the course of a short time bail was put in for the de , fendants, and they were liberated. , THAMES. COMMITY•L YOB MIIRDER.—R. Ward, a twine spinner, 45 years of age, residing at 11, James-street, Stepney, was finally examined on the charge of having wilfully mur dered his wife, Sarah Ward, by striking her on the head with a poker. The witnesses, including two of the prisoner's danghten, proved that in the course of a quarrel between the prisoner and deceased on Friday night, he struck her a blow on the head with a red hot poker, which caused her death on the following day. Mr. Charles Harper, house surgeon at the London Hospi tal, attended the deoeased at that institution. There was a wound into which a person could insert the top of his little finger on the left side, and the brain protruded. He was quite satisfied the wound was the cause of her death. Mr. Yardley told the prisoner that if he had anything to my, he was at liberty to say it ; but whatever he did say would be taken down itt writing, and probably be used in evidence. Prisoner—l had been drinking three or four pots of ale, and it overcame me so that I did not know what I was doing. My wife blew me up, and I suppose I struck her, but I do not recollect shying the poker at her. Mr. Yardley then committed him to take his trial for the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Ward.
