They are 311041 , .U4 that the QeerN ' e Government should tak.• the affairs of the people of North America immedi..tely into consideration, and, abandoning ..ur present neutrality, settle them by decided action. Mr. °Kumar did not urge this course spoil Parliament the other day. Circumstances bail greatly changed since he placed his motion on th.- books, and the prospects of the slave-league which lie champions are looking gloomy. The rebellion which loomed so large while it was let alone is now shrunken and abject. His proposal to acknowledge the Southern Confederacy before it had done a single act to assert its ability to maintain a separate sovereign existence was sufficiently extravagant, but now it is too wild to be ventured for a moment. The Confederacy is helpless, and if its tyranny is not yet overthrown he the freemen of the North, it is only be cause it u protected for a time by an unhealthy climate. Meanwhile, there is nothing at Mont gomery to which diplomatic recognition could seriously attach, no sufficient demonstration of power, no guarantee of permanence. tr. ;Ittooar hail told us the rumons for the eourse he would like to advocate if circum stances favoured. " His object," ho &mums us, " was twofold—to advocate the recognition "of the Southern States on the ground of " humanity and of unrestricted commerce." The aristocratic partisans of the planters, we are assured, arc no advocates of negro bondage in the abstract—only of its practical perpetuation ; and as for commerce, they are free-traders in everything but slaves. Then Mr. GREGOKY has a great horror of war. But the possibility of a pro tracted civil war nobody seems to contemplate. Thu struggle may be sharp and sanguinary ; but it wiuit necessarily be brief ; and the responsi inlay and guilt must be upon the heads of thee who amid the golden stillness of prosperity and peace have suddenly raised the treacherous cry of deadly war. But putting aside every con secration regarding the future of the negro nee, if perpetually consigned by Separation to the merciless mercy of a Confederacy founded upon and for the sake of slavery, what hopes can the friends of humanity rest upon the establishment of such a Sheet Every impartial observer of the condition of society in the revolted region concurs in describing the numbers of what use called the " mean whites"—that is to say, the white population who are destitute of property, led who are precluded from labour by the fatal existence of a servile race of another colour amongst them--as constituting an ineradicable source of peril and perplexity to the comparative few who govern. These men cannot dig, but to bully and rob according to the laws of war no class of the sort ever was ashamed. They are the ma terials out of which filibusterism has in past tines been made ; and they are the mate rial out of which public expeditions to invade and annex Cuba, Mexico, and Central America would inevitably have to be formed by a Government that dare not lay its head upon its pillow with an outnumbering restless and pauperised section of its own blood, language, and traditions con spiring by its side. The superincumbent weight led power of the Federal Union has hitherto suc ceeded in repressing the lawless ambition of the seen whites ; but from the moment this restraining influence was lost they would be in a condition to exact terms from their elder brethren who peewee landed estates and political ascen dancy ; and the only terms on which it world be possible for the two sections to agree would be an indefinite series of aggressive and slavery-planting wars. So much for the interests of humanity. As for free trade, we own we are very *say as to the future on that score. The Monza'. tariff was notoriously a political device to secure the adhesion of Pennsylvania at a critical emergency. But its days are already numbered ; and even if they were not, the pretence of its being a great or general interruption to trade between this country and America is simply absurd. Nothing can break, or for any long time even suspend the countless ties of commercial intimacy and benefit subsisting between us and the people of the Union, ensept such a breach of all faith and amity as would be implied in our wantonly aiding and abettiqg the traitorous minority who are seeking to destroy, as far as in them lies, the integrity and the security of the great Republic. What ilesiwnite resolves might possibly be suggested in the ex. astieration caused by such treachery on the part of England we care not to ireinir,; ; for we know that the case can never arise. The people of this country are a long-atitkring people ; but there are some things they would not and will not bear ; and one of diem is any trifling or equivocation on the sub ject of the rebellion in America. Of this let Americans be well assured, that though our Go vernnisint may observe neutrality in the lament able conflict that still appears to be impending, there is no wavering or indecision in the mind of the people of England about which is the right sole, and for whose success our hopes and prayers ought to ascend. When Mr. Gazooar talks of England pursuing in the present instance her usual course of recognising every Jr fact o government, he forgets that the practice of England has never been anything of the kind. Ile has , indeed, had the training which gives inexperienced men some rudi mentary notions of the value of political terms, or of the necessity of distinguishing b. tween their meaning according as they are applied. The maxim of our Government hiss, in- 1 . 4 THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1861. deed, always been to disclaim inquiry into We root of title where universal or general acquies cence prevailed amongst a friendly people in some newly-chosen form of rule. Our acknowledgments of the Monarchy of the Barricades, of the Republic of 1848, and of the Restored Empire of 1852, have often been cited, and are clear and incontestable evidences of our unmeddling dispo sition. But England has never made herself an accomplice with rebels to throw off their allegiance to their lawful Government either before or after the fact, and then based her recognition of their success, as Mr. Gazoosr imagines, upon some blind and perfidious rule of de facto sovereignty. It was not until after three years of successful revolt that even Mr. CANNING proposed to recog nise the emancipated colonies of Spain ; and it was not until after six years of desperate self-assertion that the Greeks found him ready to admit their having made good their title to formal acknow ledgment by England as a separate people. When either of the examples can be cited with any pa rallel as to character or circumstance it will be time enough to discuss what the British Govern ment ought to do in North America ; but we may make ourselves very easy upon that score, for such an occasion we shall never see.

Crampon, the writer of the money articles in that journal, appeared this morning at the bar of the Sixth Correctional Chamber as defendants in an action of libel, brought by MM. Emile and Isaac Pereira, Adolphe d'ltichthal, Duke Raphael de Galliera, and others, directors of the Crscdit Mobi lier Society. In consequence of the absence of M. Berryer, who (with Jules Yam) is counsel for the Mode, the case stands over till Wednesday next. M. Cretnieux will appear for the Credit Mobilier. The alleged libels are contained in the Monde of April 28 and 29. The Pays announces that M. Cranier de Cassag nac, who " more and more takes an active part in the labours of the Corps Legislatif," ceases to be its political director, and cedes the post to M. Paulin Limayrac, who is translated from the Patric. At the same time, M. Lirnayrac, who signs the an nouncement of the change, says he is happy to leans that M. Grimier de Cassagnac's pen will not be lost to the "governmental press." This latter intimation lends countenance to a rumour that the seceder from the Pays is to go back to his old place at the Constitutionne/. But in that case, what becomes of the insinuation that his increasing importance as a legislator is in compatible with the functions of a government journalist 1 The new editor of the Pays, in anti cipation of the question, what are your political opinions, replies in a rather grand style, Si menu ' Illent.on tiwtris circusispice—" those who have read the Petrie for the last three years will be able to tell our new readers what we are." I rather think the Paris will not feel flattered in being classed with the Pays as a "government journal." There is a vein of independence and liberality in the Patric which distinguishes it materially from the other paper ; and although M. Limayrac has been allowed to write d la Cassagnsc in its columns, it has other men on its staff of a different stamp. The Courrier du Bas Rhin protests against M. Keller'i speech, and takes upon itself to say that he does not represent the opinions of his con stituents in Alsatia. The indipendance mentions a rumour, of which I have heard nothing, that X. About has sent M. Heller a challenge. The Constihitionnel says that Prince Murat, who has been very unwell for some days, yesterday suffered a painful operation in the neck, but that his state is not in any way dangerous. It is not a white elephaat in flesh and blood that General d'Orgoni has brought to Paris, but the decoration of the Order of the White Elephant, which the Emperor of Burmah sends to Napoleon M. Ganeeco has been allowed to return to France to fulfil a matrimonial engagement with Mdlle. Feuillo de Chauvin. Tho Bourse improved considerably ; the Bente rate 26c. both for cash and account, closing at 63fr. Mobilier rose 10fr. The Lyons Railway rose 12fr. 50c. ; Orleans, 7fr. 50c. ; and Northern, 3fr. 75c. ; in the other lines there was little change. A grand military steeplechase is to take place at LaMarche on Sunday next, for 5,000 fr., of which S,ooofr. are given by the Administration des Hares, for horses of four years old and upwards, of all countries. Entry, 200 fr., half forfeit. Eng lish and French officers, both of the army and navy, on active service, and those of the Adminis tration des Hares, may ride. Another steeple chase is to take place afterwards for 12,000 fr., for four years old and upwards of all countries. Entry, 60fr. The winner may be claimed for B,ooofr. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY. ...41.... _ _ The second flower and fruit show of the season given by the Royal Botanic Society was most successful. The weather did not quite make up its mind to be fir until an advanced hour ; but if there was little sun there was no rain, and the air we soft and pleasant. The gardens of the society are now at the height of their summer glory, and yesterday were peopled with groups gathered from the leading circles of London society. The inspection of flowers and fruit wee • difficult matter, but we managed to make the discovery that the winners of high prizes richly deserved them. As usual, the unless were the prominent objects, in the fulness of their exquisitely tinted blooms. With them were ranged the pelargoniums ; and outvieing, both in depth and richness of colour, though not in graceful form of blossom, were the calceolarias. • The varieties of stove and greenhouse plants presented an almost infinite field of novel admiration. In the group of sixteen plants which brought the first prize, a gold medal, to the exhibitor, Mr. May, a most conspicuous and attrac tive specimen was the Pimetia Headereeni, which, though common enough at the Antipodes, made a very considera ble figure in the Regent's-park. The first prLar for twelve varieties fell to Messrs. J. and J. Framer, of Lea.bridge, whose Fines Oteellata, a plant with dark green oval leaves, end • spreading white flower with • small carmine centre, was pronounced lovely, in our hearing, by several lady judges in succession. The first prize for the varieties was gained by Mr. Green, gardener to Sir Edward Autrobas. Mass. Lane and Son took the tint prise for roue but where run bard by some other ee -1 Aaron. The exotic orchids made a rich and curi ous show. Strangeness and diversity characterised some of these plants and their flowers even more than beauty of shape and colour. The first prize, for ten varieties, pined by Mr. Wolley, of Cbeshunt, included some very singular specimens. The caps heaths were mostly in wonderful bloom. The first prize, won by many lengths, belonged to Mr. Peed, gardener to F. Tredwell, Req., of Norwood ; and the central plant of the group, • magnificent erica depress,with countless yellow blossoms delicately shaded by green, seemed only to rat the sunshine upon it to be the most beautiful object in that part of the marquee. Ferns are justifying that attention and care which have of late years been bestowed on them. Mr. Beillie, gardener to W. C. Carbonell, Faq., was the chief prize-holder; and the second medal was worthily obtained by Miss Clarkson, of the Armors:ad, Regent's-park, whose specimens were hardly lees remarkable for tare in their arrangement than for in. triniic merit. The fruit was splendid. The afternoon's pleasure wee heightened by the music of the bands of the let and 2nd Life Guards, and the Royal Rona Guards (Blue). We must not conclude this notice of • delightful exhibition without mentioning Mr. John Waterer's American plants, which form a distinct show of themselves. They are in full flower at present, and will remain so for about a fortnight.

FRENCH RECOGNITION OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. On the subject of the probable recognition by France of the King of Italy, the following corre spondence addressed front Paris to the Uhieers , l of Brussels is not without interest : I think it useful to mention that Count Vimercati, who I am convinced is destined to play an important part in the negotiations between France and Italy, must not be con. founded with ordinary "secret agents." He is au agent eeteieuely accredited—the confidential medium of commu nication between the Emperor Napoleon and Victor Em. manual. I can guarantee the entire exactitude of the fol. lowing particular. of Count Vimercati's interview with the Emperor at Fontainebleau. The Emperor, after 'amusing his deep regret at Count Cavour's death, said that Victor Emmanuel and Italy had lost in him an able and devoted servant, the man who beet responded to the necessities of the situation, but that Europe had lost in him ass of the strongest pillars of a liberal conservative policy. His Majesty hoped that the new cabinet would tread in the footsteps of the deceased. " I was obliged," added the Emperor, "as a catholic sovereign, to recall K. de Talleyrand when your army invaded the states of the Sovereign Pontiff ; I could not do otherwise than protest against the infraction of the law of nations. But now that the grave closes upon Cavour, and that great &mien are to be feared for the Italian clues, you may assure the King of my sympathy, and tell him that our official relations shall be very shortly renewed." (KELTTIB'S TELEGRAMS.) TURIN, J=3l2, Emma. In to-day's sitting If the Chamber of Deputies, Baron Ricasoli announced the formation of the' new Ministry, and said that in accepting so great a burden, he and his colleagues had yielded to a sentiment of duty. After having dwelt on the immense loss sustained by Italy in the death-el Count Cavour, he continued "No one has bent under this misfortune, nor have we lost our faith in the destinies of Italy." Ho then explained that the policy of the new Cabinet will be a continua tion of that of the one presided over by Count Cavour, who he said united boldness with prudence. The Minister maintained that Italy had a right to constitute herself as a united nation, and said—The basis of the new ministry will be respect for the Constitution, respect for the laws, and maintenance of public order. The first care of the government will be zealously to con tinue the armament of the country, and at the same time to develop the economical forces of Italy and to establish the equilibrium of the revenue and expenditure. He concluded by expressing his full confidence in the support of parliament and in the good sexustand patriotism of the Italians. —(Lund applause followed the words of the Minister.) A similar communication wa.s made in the Senate. In the Chamber of Deputies a bill was laid on the table fur the construction of a naval and military arsenal at Spezzia. HUNGARY. PESTH, JIM 12, Emma. The discussion on the paragraph of the address proposed by M. Deak, the presentation of which to the Emperor had been agreed to on principle, was continued to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. M.

It is currently reported that DL Doak intends to withdraw his proposed address. SPAIN. PARIS, Jews 12.

They are filled mainly with threats, rumours, and notes of preparation. A small action the conclusion of which was not known, is reported. This was an attack on the batteries erected by the Confederate troops at the mouth of Acqpia Creek, the terminus of the Richmond, Fredericksburgh, and Potomac Railroad, about fifty-five miles below Washington, on the Potomac. The batteries were attacked, on May 31, by the United States steamers, Thomas Freeborn and Anacosta. The last account of the affair is that of the Keystone State, which passed them at noon, that day, and reported that the steamers were apparently engag ing the batteries with good effect. Captain Dahl gren, the commander of the navy-yard, immedi ately telegraphed the fact to the War Department, and received instructions to send two additional war vessels to the scene of action at once. The capture of these batteries was regarded as impor tant, since it would give the government posses sion of the railroad to Richmond. The New York Herald of the Ist inst. has the following : No attack on Alataadria was mad* yesterday, as was an ticipated. General McDowell was on the alert all day, but aot a rebel showed himself I. that direction.

An advance of 4,000 rebels from the direction of Dumfries was expected in Alemodria list night, and the Federal troops were preparing to receive them. Great activity is preserved at Fortress Monroe. Troops and ammunition are constantly arriving, the garrison now amounting to 13,000 men ; sad large bodies were moving into the interior, it was thought, with the intention of making for Norfolk by a circuitous route. Up to Thurs. ay evening no less than 430 slaves, including women and obaklren, had Bed Into General Butler's camp, and they Import that a general uprisimi of the slave population was da rt sa ilanaseas Junction we learn that the earthworks erected there by the rebels command both road, to Rich. mond and Harper's Ferry, for about four miles, brat it was rumoured that the seceesionlate had ceased the work yester day. Them are said to be 12,000 men there. The retreat of the rebel troops from Williamsport to wards Martinsburg is coofirmed by the statement of a gen tleman just arrived from there. It appears likely that General Johnston is calling in all his outposts to Harper's Ferry. The trouble is not all over fa Baltimore. The mob made a boat& demonstration upon the guard of the 12th and 13th agiments (from what Mite not sported) while protecting 141 baggage which had been thrown off the track by the rioters. Cheers were given for Jeff Davit, sod three shots were Bred at the troops. It is thus evident that the rowdy spirit of Baltimore is not yet subdued.

At the Westminster Polioe•court yesterday, Mr. Xing Harman appeared for final examination, charged with unlawfully resisting the police in the course of a riot at Cremorne•gardens. Mr. F. H. Lewis, barrister, appeared for the defendant. Police-constable Potter said that those around the de fondant rescued him. William Biimfield, 380 B, said that he had been called to take the defendant into custody. As soon as lie got hold of him there was • general cry of " Rescue !" and be was rescued by bis friends The defendant forced his way back when the others took hold of witness James Manley, 347 V, said the disturbance was so great that they were compelled to shut the coffee and supper room doom. He eaw the defendant and two men go up and kick at the door. Mr. Wattle' Corbyn, manager at Cremorne, said that at about half-put 1 on the morning in question he saw the defendant, surrounded by eight or nine of his companions, in the ooffee-rooni, creating a great noise, singing, leashing, beating the tables, and yelling " Bob Ridley." All rose together, and said, " Were in for • lark." They rushed from the room into the circular bar in a compact body, driving every one before them. They returned through the circular bar into the coffee.room,driving prople from the table, and compelling the servants of the estab lishment to move all the glue. Another person prominent among those making the disturbance wu taken into cus tody, when some of the friends of the defendant said, " If you take that man we will break everything in the place." Witness said he had no desire to take anybody into custody, and he would let the man go if they would take him away. He was then liberated on their promise to do no, but they placed him in the middle of them again, formed round him, and rushed in the same manner ea before into the circular bar. Mr. Arnold inquued whether defendant took part in what had been described._ Witness replied that be was in the midst of the rush three or four times. The party in the circular bar forced it open again ; they made • rush and drove witness and the police back into the coffee-room. AI witness was driven back to the centre of the room he heard glass break. The iron bars outside the window were forced, and defendant, who had been in the room, was then outside the window. _ _ Mr. Lewis said that no one more sincerely regretted what had happened than his client. The evidence adduced, however, did not support the charge made against him of unlawfully resisting the police in the execution of their duty . ; but, on the contrary, proved that the constables had him in custody when hie friends rescued him without his taking any part in the act. Mr. Arnold having asked Mr. Lewis whether he had any evidence to offer in defence, Mr. Lewis replied in the negative. Mr. Arnold said that the charge against the defendant— that of unlawfully relating Potter in the execution of his duty —was, in his opinion, clearly made oat. As the de fondant was acting in concert with others, it must be taken as a principle that their resistance was the same as though he bad resisted himself, and, although there was no ream. Woe personally in Potter's tin, in that of the other con stable it was positively shown that defendant forced his way back while the others took bold of the officer. It was obvious that the defendant, accompanied by a gang of coin panions, went to the gardens with the express object of dis turbing the public peace, and with a determination that, if any attempt were made to restrain them, they would resist it by foroe and violence. A pecuniary fine upon the defen dant would not in any way meet the case. Mr. Lewis here interposed. If it were not the magis trates intention to indict a fine, he would prefer that the case should be sent to the sessions to Le dealt with. Mr. Arnold did not see why this case should be treated differently from others. He was in the habit of dealing with cases of the same kind daily. There was not the slightest evidence to rebut the charge made against the prisoner, and it was not a fit case to send to the sessions, but one strictly coming within his province. Taking the whole of the circumstances into consideration, and, bearing in mind the fact that defendant had received four or five days imprisonment already he should commit him to the House of Correction for 10 , days. Defendant and his friends expressed their determination to apply to the Secretary of State for his release. THE MARRIAGE CARE. CORRY v. WED CREVORNE. This important case was resumed at Dublin on Tuesday. The petition, a. already ems, was Sled by 31. m. Corry, widow of the late Mr. Thomas C. S. Corry, of Roekoorry Castle, in the county Monaghan , to whom she alleged she was married on the 2nd of April, 182i—thirty eight yean since—to obtain • decree for dower ; and the respondent was the Right Hon. Lord Cremorne, for whom the property on which the dower was stated to be charge. able was parchmed, when a minor, and purchased, as he Meted, without notice of any claim for dower. The Soheitor-Genend characterised the petition as an attempt on the part of Mrs. Corry to recover dower out of estates purchased by Lord Cremoree slong ago as 1831 ; sod though bee *MN if any she had, seemed fully seventeen years ago, her claim had been deliberately kept back until every human being concerned in the trans. action had passed from the world. The learned counsel at much length propounded the first defence, on which he relief in resisting the petition, and which was that Lord Cremorne, being a purchaser of this estate for valuable con sideration, and without notice of the alleged could not be held liable to pay dower thereout. He stilted that be would show his lordship that in this case no notice, either active or constructive, could be held to have been given to Lard Cremorne or his treeless. The grounds on which he rested his argument may be shortly summed up as follow :—The ante • m&nt improbability of Mr. Corry's marrying the pe titioner, from her ponrtion in life and wvious circum stances; the secrecy with which the marria ge, if performed at all, was kept from the knowledge of every one, even the inmates of the house where the partite lived ; and the facts proved to have taken place subsequent to the alleged mer rier, Mr. Carry's behaviour towards her, and the position she occupied in the household. On the first branch of the argument the Sobeitoe-General read affidavits of several witnesses, Asking that about a year prior to her alleged maniage with Mr. Corry, petatsoaer pre birth to an illegitimate child, of which a certain Lieutenant Prep deepat, a visitor at Rookoorry Castle, was stated to be the father. As to the paternity of the child, counts-affidavits had been put in, imputing it to Mr. Corry ; but, bearing in mind that on either sup. position the child was illegitimate, he argued that tt was unlikely that a gentleman in Mr. Corry's posi tion would even seriously think of such a woman as hie wife, especially as it appeared from the affidavits of various parties that, prior to and up to the time of the alleged mar riage, the petitioner had been a housemaid in the eetabhah meat of Mr. Corry, and was in the habit of performing modal services far a " Mrs. C.," a person between whom and Mr. Corry an improper intimacy existed. On the second breach of the argument--that of the secrecy of the mar riage, if performed at all—the Solicitor-General referred to the affidavits put in by petitioner, and also to three in evidence on behalf of the respondent, to show that the ceremony, if ever performed, was performed in daises, hribtis, and that the fact Of its celebration was kept a strict eectret, not Acme from the public, but from the inmates of the household; and that on this ground the respondent could not be held to have received constructive notice thereof. Lastly. from the circumstances which appeared in affidavits to have taken place subsequent to the time of the alleged marriage, collo. eel submitted that it was impossible that hie client,or those acting for him, could have heard of, or be held to have cognisance of it. The marriage, it was alleged, took place in the drawing-room of Rockcorry Castle, and was kept a strict secret in the household, so much so, that after the ceremony, the petitioner, though on her own showing the lawful wife of Mr. Corry, continued, nevertheless, to occupy the earn. position in the household as b e fo re , and which was that of a menial fervent and waitingmaid on "Mrs. C.," and this latter lady remained in precisely the same position towards Mr. Corry as she had previously done. This extraordinary state of circumstances continued for two years, the petitioner, though the alleged wife of Mr. Corry, (beehives the duties of upper housemaid. and Weeding on "Mrs. C.," until at length, in 1824, Mr. Cony being at the time absent from Rockcorry, the petitioner, for some mum which does not clearly appear, was ar charged by "Mrs. C.," quitted the house, and Maned to her own family in England. From that time ohs mime had lived at any known residence of Mr. Oftwys. to am pounds the Solicitor• General subsabled that the Omit well not hold that say notice al ail••• email or constructive, led been reesivedlay Lord or his trustees.

(Prom the Manchester Examiner of this day.) This morning, a case of a most extraordinary description will be investigated before the magistrates at the City Police-court, and no doubt it will excite as much surprise as sorrow amongst the public when they learn that a gentleman of hitherto supposed unblemished character, Mr. Edward Williamson, the agent for the /Royal Exchange Fire and Life Insurance Office, will be charged with having committed a series of forgeries to a large amount. From what we have been able to glean from various sources, it appears that Mr. Williamson will be charged with having obtained money from the principal office in London by representing, through forged docu ments, that losses had been caused by fire on the premises of persons insured in the office, when in point of fact no such fires had taken place. He will also be charged with having increased the amount of tend Me claims made timrers who have incurred loans by fire, and he will be with forging signatures endorsed on bills which he hadre s en ordered to draw, to pay some of the fictitious claims which he had made. We believe that we shall be found pretty correct in stating that the amount which the Royal Exchange-office has been defrauded out of by this system will be very large—in fact, that within the lad four months fictitious claim+ have been toads and paid by the office to the extent of near 3,0001. How long this system of fraud has been carried on of course we sre unable at present to say ; but we know that it was discovered by the merest accident. A few days ago a gentleman from Manchester whilst in London called at the Royal Exchange-office to ask the directors to appoint a friend of his a second agent for Manchester, alleging that all the other offices had two agents, whilst the Royal Exchange had only one in Manchester. The manager or one of the directors replied that they &Mg do no such thing, seeing that with one agency Ares so frequently occurred in that city. At the same time he pointed to two claims then lying before him from Mr. Wit. liarnson for something like 7001., in corroboration of what he bad stated. The gentleman expressed his astonishment at what had been stated, looked at the claims, and de dared from his own knowledge that those fires bad never taken place. The manager was equally taken aback, and could not believe his ears, inasmuch as he had unbounded confidence in the integrity of Mr. Williamson, whose father had been the agent in Manchester for 45 years. The son, Edward Williamson, was partner with his father for some years before his decease, and we believe the agency has been in the hands of the father and son for the last 60 years. In consequence of what transpired in the interview we have alluded to, one of the directors of the Royal Exchange-office, and the solicitor to the company, came to Manchester on Tuesday to investigate the matter, and In the course of a short time they obtained such information as to satisfy them that the Aate meat made to them in London was but too true. Yesterday, a warrant was applied for andgpranted for Mr. Williamson's ap prebendal on the charge of fcegery. The warrant, we believe, was placed in the hands of Superintendent Ma bury and ln spector Buckley for execution, and yesterday they proceeded to Greenfield House, Bowdon, where Mr. Williamson resides, to apprehend him. At first they did not find him at home, but at 5 o'clock, on returning, they found him in. The officers showed him the warrant, sad told him the charge upon which he wee to be arrested, to which he replied that he was very sorry that it was so ; that he had hem a great fool, and it served him right ; but that he had pro perty that would five times cover the amount he was charged with bavingdishonestly obtained. Mr. Williamson was then taken into custody, and brought in a cab to the detective office, Manchester. Besides bein the owner of considerable property at Bowdon, Mr. Wi hat a shooting seat near Stafford, where Mn. Williamson and his family are at present staying. Owingto this fact the family were spared the pain of seeing Mr. Williamson appre hended., and there can be no doubt but that the affliction which has overtaken them will awaken that sympathy on their behalf which is but a poor consolation in such emote stances as those is which they are placed. SUSPICIOUS Di•TH OP • YOUNO WOMAN.—An investigation took place before Mr. G. S. Brent, deputy steroner for West Middlesex, at the Dudley Arms, last evening, into the circumstances attandieg the disoovery of the body of an unknown female in that part of t h e Beimis Canal known as the Grand Junction, near No. 16 Wharf, Paddington, whose death occurred under pare fully saspicioua circumstances. Police-oonstnule D deposed to having been called to the wharf while no duty in Sussex-gardens on Monday ; he there took &arge of the deceased, who had been taken out of the water by two bargemen, and conveyed the body to the Paddington deed-house. He weld immediately for Dr. Beale, the police divisional surgeon. There appeared to be a heavy bra is e over the bead and face. She was respectably and cleanly dressed, and bad on a P."' of new boots. Nothing whatever besides her clothes was found upon her person, and the pockets of her dress were turned inside out. Dr. J. Samuel Beale said—l was called to see the body on Monday morning. She appeared to be • respectable young female, who got her living by Weer. respectably attired, and about twenty-four yearn of see. The body was muds decomposed, and bad evidently been in the water from seven to nine diva. It is el opinion that the alleged braise. about the head are nothing more than the appearance caused by decomposition but on • poet morrow examination of the body I found a very large bruise on the upper part of the thigh, awl other marks of violence on that portion of the b ody. He then entered into an elaborate description of shacking riders* which bad been committed on the deceased, which clearly demonstrated that the hapless female had been violated, and afterwards died from the effects of drowning. The deputy coroner thought, under the panful and very suspicious ca. maritime., of the case, an adjournment was necessarT. In d the publicity which would doubtless be given to this at pre. sent mysterious occurrence, through the medium of the press, might possibly attract sudicieut attention to throw little more light upon it. The jury acquiesced. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned.
