Guieral 31`Clellan is working his way cautiously iu tlw direction of the rebel position. On the night of the 9th, General WOW* division crooned the Potomac and occupied Langley, hive mile., from the Chain liridge. The rebels did not show them selves anywhere in considerable numbers.

Ileavy works are being . con. Mewled at all the new points recently taken powwows of by our troops, in which they have not yet been interfered with by the rebel.. The picket.; of the nanny an artla sight along our how, but they make no hostile stratioaa. Affairs on the pier Potomac continue quiet. Several movements of ngiments have however recently taken place, which are supposed by some to be preliminary to something of more consequence. The Nfac York Tiows reports that the rebels are still suffering reveres in Western Virginia, not withstanding the new micro which has been at tempted to be jawed into their operations by reinforcements and a change of commanders. The Federal general, Reynolds, has succeeded in driving the main body of Lee's army to Greenbrier Springs, twenty miles beyond Big Springs, their former rendezvous. In their retreat they destroyed bun dreda of muskets, their tents, camp equipage, &c., and several waggons fell into the hands of the national troops. Advice, from General Rosecrane are also encouraging. Hu is reported to be at Mountain Cave, a strong position, twenty-five miles beyond Gauley. It appears that he made an advance ten miles further, to Little Sewell, but finding the enemy too well intrenched, and too strong at Big Sewell, ho fell back again to his pre sent position. There is no exportation that he will be attacked, and it is likely t ha t when he receives the reinforcements which are now on their way from Ohio he will again advance and seek an en counter. A despatch from Fortress Monroe states that on the night of Oct. 10, it being very dark and stormy, two rebel steamers ran down the James River, with the intention of attempting to pass the blockade, but, being discovered, put back again. It is well understood at Ohl Point that the rebels have for some time been asaitiug an opportunity to get the Yorktown to sea, and probably the Merrimac. Both are iroo-elad, and, once at sea, they might do incalculable mischief ; but it is hoped there ix little probability of their sides being able to withstand the heavy metal which could be thrown against them by the Federal ships of war at Newport's News and the Fortress. The Minnesota and Cum berland there have rifled guns throwing &solid shot 180 pounds in weight ; and, besides, there is the " Union " gun, mounted on the Rip Raps, throw ing • shot weighing 430 pounds. Advice' from Missouri are condrmatory of the report that Price s o d his army are in full retreat southward without waiting to give battle to General ITremout. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Lexington, states that it was Price's intention, after he captured Lexington, to remain there and operate on the north aide et the Missouri River, and that be actually crossed over on the 28th ult. with 4,000 mounted men, for the purpose of dortro)ing the railroad and committing other depredations. On the evening of that day, however, word reached him that General Fremont was preparing to advance against him, with • force of at least 30,000 men, and lie immediately returned with his men across the river, and the evacuation of Lexington comm e n ce d that night. The corres pondent of the Lk rro,crtit states that the force of Price at Lexington was very large, but that many of the men were only there for the occasion, and bare since gone to their homes. He marched south ward, with a force of only 16,000 or 18,000 men, which was likely to be still further depressed as be proceeded. Nothing is vet known of the move ments of General Fremoot's army after leaving Jefferson City on the route to Sedalia. It was thought doubtful whether he would be able to over take Price, as the latter had probably too much the start, and the advantage of a light baggage train. It was thought likely, however, that Gene ral Fremont *mild at least follow him to South west Missouri, reoccupy Springfield, and clear once more that seetion of the State froin the rebels. A scout who had arrives' at Jefferson City from Spring field report' that there are only one thousand rebels left there.

She had complied with the requisi tion.' of the statute by filing an account of her liabilities, in which she stated that her failure aloes from her having be come surety for other parties, and being suddenly called upon to pay for her furniture, which had been sold at a ruinous sacrifice.

Thin case aaggauin came on to-day. Mr. Kerslake. of the Chancery bar, Mr. Prentice, Mr. Robertson GnthUu, and Mr. Terry, appeared for the re spective parties. The application was to re-open the matter in respect to an order made on the late assignee, Mr. Smythe, to pay a large sum of money into court. and to adjourn a rule nisi for an attachment for non•payment of the money. The Chief Commissioner now said he should grant a rule nisi to re-open the aw , and the rule for the attachment would stand over, sad be heard on the same .lay. A discussion arms as to the day on which the rule nisi skald be The Ch7timissioner mid the matter must be beard betels the sitting, of the court were 1 . 1411111011 for cases. He should be very busy after next week, and this one must corm on before Thursday next. Mr. Robertson Criffitba said be appeared for Mr. Bryce Watson, the late cousignee of the estate, and be was anxious to be paid out of the fine mosey of the estate. The Chief OuitirsieMisser said be entertained a strong °Ones that Mr. Ware shield Spa• Ultimately the are was for Wednesday next. and upon his tetanal be beat him very severely with a two and-ehalf inch rope, which he knotted for 'the purpose ; and it vas alleged that while be was so beating him the prisoner made am of the expression that ho would peke him work, or he would have his life. There was no evidence of any other beating having been inflicted upon the &seemed by the prisoner, hut the case on the part of the prosecution was, that the beating so inflicted had, in the weak state in which the can was at the time. aceelemte.l his death. It was proved in the 0091110 of the cam that repeated complaints had been inside to the prisoner that the deceased was skulking from his work, and there appeared to lw a very general impremion on board . the ves sel that the deceased was shamming dimes, in order to amid doing his share of the ship's duty. ft was peeved that the persons who were now examined se witneeee for the promeution dill not make any complaint until after the vessel had been in the docks several days, when • mender able portion of the crew had bees discharged lied were gone awa & y, deed Ballard/es made a aced able address to r the fiery ea behalf of the prisoner, and said that before they could ead the prisoner guilty upon this iodictmeat they must he minified that the beating—which for argument sake be would admit—that was inflicted by Ma upon the ocesmon spoken to by the withessei, accelerated the death which did not appear to have taken place until three weeks or a month afterwards. It was a very natural thing that leadsmen shank' feel iadignaut at corporal punishment beer inflicted upon • meson in the position of the deceased, but be was sure that they would see that it was • very different thing at ma, where it was absolutely necessary that the captain of • ship should prevent skulking*, shamming iii order to avoid per forming the neoatary work, and thus endaogerieg the safety of the vessel and all oa board. The learned counsel then proceeded to argue that the evidence OA to the character of the beating inflicted upon the deceased bad been very much euenorattsl, and that in any case there was nothing to show that it wee at all connected with the death. A man named Wedge, who was mate on board the !Bunton( on the voyage home, was called as a witness, and be stated that the deomsed was a dirty lasy fellow, and that he had himself struck him for having negheted his duty. He also stated that the beating referred to was not at all of a serious character, and that he saw the deceased stripped shortly afterwards, and there were very dight bruises on his person. A great many respectable witnesses, several of whom were captains in the merchant service, were exam Med, and they gave the prisoner an excellent character for humanity and kindness, one of them stating that be would not, in his opinion, " touch a worm." Baron Martin, in summing up the case to the jury, explained the law relating to manslaughter, and said he was clearly of opinion that the eating the prisoner inflicted upon the deceased was illegal, and that he had no right to inflict it. Seamen on board a ship bad no other protection than the law, and although the espial° of a ship, and very properly so, was invested with very great power, it was very important to take care that this power should not be abused. He then said that as the beaeng inflicted was undoubtedly illegal, the only question for their consideration was whether this beating accelerated the death of the deceased, and if they thought it did, there they ought to find him guilty of manslaughter, but if they had say ressonable doubt upon the subject, they ought to as n it him. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, when the verdict was returned, entered intoa statement of the constant misconduct of the decease' during all the time he was on board the vessel, and said that he was continually shamming illness, and upon one occasion threatened his life. heron Martin said he thought that it was very probable that what the prisoner bad stated about the deceased was true, but this was no justification for his using violence towards him. He belie►ed at the saints time that when he inflicted the beating upon him he had not the slightest in. teation of doing him any serious injury, and if the jury had acquitted him of the charge of manslaughter he should have directed an indictment to be preferred against him for an assault, as in his opinion an aggravated assault was the true character of his offence, and he should inflict a puniahmeet as though he had been convicted of it. He then seutenced the prisoner to nine months' hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Wilde.) George Cliff, 27, and Frederick C7a,Piton Clift, 24, both described as quill merchants , were indicted for feloniously setting fire to • certain dwelling-house in the possession of the said Frederick Clayton Clift, with intent to defraud the Glob Insurance Company. Mr. Berisant Balkuitine (who was specially retained), Mr. Clerk, and Mr. Metcalfe P tad; sod Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Charles Smith denuded. The cam, which involved the examination of a vest num ber of witnesses, and occupied the court from its sitting until a Isle hour of the evening, exhibited the following facie :—lt appeared that some few days previous to the 20th July last the prisoner Frederick Chit applied to Mr. Fuller, • bender, and took of him a house, No. Z Lane:lowa". villas, Albert-road, Peckham, at a rental of 301. per annum. The house bad a stable attached to it, which the primmer Fre derick said be especiallyrequired to put his horse and trap in. This stable, having been added by a previous tenant to the house after it was built had no communication with the house, wed could only be entered from the garden at the rear of the premises. The prisoner took possession, but did not nuke use of the stable for the purpose be said be wasted it for. On the 20th July both prisoners went to gether to the cakes of the Globe Insurance Company, and the prisoner Frederick Clift, who described himself as • quill merchant, intimated to the clerk that he was desirous of elf ecting an insurance, io the first place on his stock to the amount of 2.500/., sod os his household furniture to the amount of :31101. He was asked if be heal ever insured before, and he replied in the negative, but added that a fire which had recently taken place at Cotton'sWherf, near Lon don-bridge, mmie people fnghtened, who knew • person who bad lost coosiderehly from out having his property there properly insured. He then supplied the clerk with the par ticulars, and gave the address of his residence and premises, and it appeared that in the house adjoining that occupied by the prisoner Frederick, and on which he sought to effect a policy, there resided another clerk of the company, a gee- Homan of the name of Collis, and to him the company entrusted the duty of inspecting the premises Pm to the completion of the policy. He aooonliggr= the premises, and the °acclaim:land character of the furni ture in the lower rooms of the dwellinghoose convinced hint that the policy sought toren that part might be granted hy his employers, the Globe Company. The prisoner Frederick, the one with whom Mr. Collis had the inter view on the premises, conducted him to the stable, which was found by the clerk to be filled within a very short space from the roof with large sacks Oiled with quills, as he 'seer. Wood on the inspection of • few of them. Mr. Collis particularly asked the primmer Frederick whether there was any communication between the house and the stable, which was described in the policy as • warehouse, as be could see none, the Becks being closely packed on each side, with a panto in the middle. The prisoner Frederick assured him there was not one, that the stable could only be entered by going round to the rear of the premises. The result was that the policy was granted, and the prisoner Frederick paid the pre mium, amounting to If. 14e. Between nine and ten o'clock ea the evening of the 2nd of August • fire broke out on the promises thee insured ; but in the interval it has since transpired that the prisoners bad removed at different times racks containing quills. Shortly before the fire broke out the wife of the prisoner Frederick Clift was seen by some neighbours quitting the house with her child iu • peram bulator, and, in answer to some questions put to her at the time, she said that the child had met with an accident by . falling into • tub of water, and that she was going to take it to • medical gentleman, whose name she gave, and whose residence was about two miles from lanerlowne-villas. Nothing more was seen of her until 12 o'clock at night. About nine o'clock the same evening the prisoner George (lift was seen at • public-house, the Nun head Tavern, at Nunhead-green, by • brother of Mr. Collis (whose name has already been mentioned in connexion with the insurance ), who had mine there for the supper beer. The prisoner George Clift, after partaking of some brandy, left the tavern, end went in the direction of the house that was destroyed, and in a few minutes afterwards, as a police constable of the name of Cox was on duty in • place called Masthead-puma., which runs into the main rood, by the side of Lansdowne-villas, he saw a man resembling the primmer George CUB come through a gap in the hedge from the direction of • piece of ground at the back of the house in question. He was walking sharply, and was seen by other persons besides the policeeoustable„ mid no one else was in the lane at the time. As he was passing &Wog some psretio from one of the gardens he pulsed called out , ' Hallo," on which the MAD the policeman bad seen quickened his naos, and on coming into the road was observed by the son of • Mr. Goodwin, grocer of Neale:ad-lane, to emerge from the paresis and cross the reed. That man was clearly identified to be the prisoner George by young Goodwin, who bed Icemen him for some time, and who bad a full view of him close to a bright gas lamp. By this time it was seen that the stable was nn fire, and on the alarm being given, the pot boy at the Nunhead Tavern, thinking there was a bone in danger, rushed clown to the spot., and on removing some tiles from the roof was I enabled to look in, when he saw that there was no horse I there, that the place instead of being full of goods was comparatively empty, mid that the stable was on fire in two plum,. The engines did not arrive until the house and promisee were mainly gutted. Nothing was seen of the prisoners during the remainder of that night, and on an examination that was subsequeetly made by the firemen, it was ascertained beyond all doubt that the place had been set fire to io two places, and it was also discovered that • door had been broken through, from • part of a pantry wider the staircase, by which • commuolostion had bee° obtained to the stables, and that it was at this point that the tire bail begun. The extent of the fire in the stable or warehouse had exceeded three feet from the floor, and • peat number of bundles of quill. of the communed and least valuable description were found, though they had been described is the policy as being of the beet quality. A Weer number of swan quills than was ever known to be held by one merchant was described in the policy as being es the premises. but of them not the slightest trace was discovered, though it transpired in the course of the trial that quills and feathers are most difficult of destruction; indeed, • fire had weer been known at which a bed was entirely destroyed. Is the dwelling house there was no trace of say furniture or bedding. bat • quantity of flocks was found.

It appeared that the prisoner wax a jobbing butcher at %Balmy, sad that me the der named in the iodictroent he sent the carom of a cow to Sir. Grestorez, a salesman in Nona* Market, for silo.

The charge originally made io this case was one of wilful murder, but the grand jury ignored the bill preferred for that offence, and returned one for manslaughter oely. It Mlarethat the prisoner was the captain of a British ship le Shantung, and the deceased at the time of his death was a seaman on board the vessel. He shipped at Balivia, and at that time he wee in • bad 'Woof health, and the crew complained of has dirty habits, and turned him out of the forecastle on that account, and =skihim to sleep on the deck. The imm e di a t e cause of t s hi ci wiswas very little doubt was dysentery ; but it erne alleged in support of the prosecution, that the death wee eeeellanted by a punishment that was raided upon the Issensed about a fortnight or three weeks before it hap greed. Aceordieg t o th e ev id ence o f th ree o f th e crew, the meter la complained of the deceased neglect isg his work, and is the day in question he Mooted upon hie doing mime necessary work on board the vowel. ENING, OCTOBER 25, 1861. account for it; that he bad been since the afternoon at Waltham, end that be left there by the Mt o'clock train. and arrived at Peckham at half-past 11 o'clock, when all wasover. Thu chine was refused, and the prisoners given into custody. Mr. C. Smith addressed the jury at considerable length oa behalf of the prisoner George Clift, contending that the evidence on which it was attempted to prove he was near the spot on the night of the fire was too uncertain and uumtiafeetory for the jury to act upon. Mr. Sleigh made an energetic appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner Frederick Cleft, submitting that them was no evidence to connect him with the fire at the time of the outbreak. No witnemes were called on the part of either of the pr loners. Mr. Baron Wilde briefly west through the leading facts of the case, pointing out how they bore upon each of the prisoner. The jury then retired, and after an absence of a quarter of an bear returned into court with a verdict of Guilty spinet both prisoners, who were at once called up for jedgmeut. The prisoner Frederick ant mat up his eyes and stretched forth his hands in a vary impressive manner, declared that be was innocent, that Christ and His angels bad got their eyes upon tam, and when be was at the Throne of I; race then would his innocence be made known. This wan delivered with an air of great apparent devout. nem. The prisoner then added in a more subdued tone that they were unjustly judged; his brother was innocent ; and they bad silty witnesses to prove that his brother was playing skittles at the time the witnesses had sworn to having seen him. Mr. Baron Wilde, in passing sentence, said they had both been convicted of a most serious offence, one for which a few years back their lives would have paid the forfeit. Happily the law was now more merciful. They had been found guilty, most properly herwould say, of one of the most heinous offences that could be committed in a civilised community. By their act they had jeopardised the lives and property of others for mere filthy gain, and no one who had hear the case could have the slight est doubt of their guilt. The jury had recommended them to mercy on account of their respectability and youth, but against that the court could sot but consider that their education and position placed them above those who had not enjoyed simi lar advantages. He therefore thought, notwithstanding the recommendation of the jury, that public justice demanded that he should not peas • leas sentence than that he now pronounced, namely, that they each be kept in penal servi tude for the term of ten years. The prisoner George atilt wee visibly affected, but did not utter • word. The prisoner Frederick, on being removed from the dock, again raised his hands, and in • frantic tone protested his innocence. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) JoAn Brandon, 27, carman ' and CharlesGoodall, 41, porter, were indicted , Brandon for stealing a pint and a half of brandy, value fts., the property of Blandford Neighbour and alkali, his muter , and Goodall for feloniously receiving the same, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecution, while Brandon was defended by Mr. Begley, and Goodall by Mr. Kemp. The prosecutors in this OM are the wine merchants in King-street, Snow-bill, arid the prisoner Brandon had been in their service five or year as earmao. In conse quence of information received, two City detectives, Smith and Peron, watched the house of the prisoner Goodall, in Weulock-street, Horton, about seven o'clock in the morn ing of the 25th September last. He cams out soon after ; and the officers followed him down to John's-yard, West street, Smithfield, and maw him go into the prosecutors' stables. In a short time be came out in company with the other prisoner and then it was observed that the pocket of Goodall h ad a more bulky appearance than before. After visiting a public-house together the two prisoner separated, and the officers followed Goodall, and at last took him into custody in King Edward-street, whets he was found to have a bottle of brandy in each pocket. He became very violent, and, swearing they should not have the brandy, dashed both bottles on to the ground. The fragments of the bottle were secured, and from cer tain marks were identified as part of the stock of the pro 'seaters. The prisoner Brandonwas taken into custody at noon the same day on his roaster's premises, to one of whom he admitted that Goodall, whom he had known for about three months, bad led him into it, and he payed his master "to look over it this time." The prisoners were both convicted ou the charge, and • former conviction for • similar offence was proved 'pilot Goodall. The Recorder sentenced Goodell to four pun' penal ser vitude, and Brandon to six months' imprisonment with bard labour. Jots Soil*, 17, labourer, was indicted for a rape on Elisabeth Ann Hale, on the evening of the sth inst. The prosecution, which was instituted by the Association for enforcing the law for the Protection of Women, was conducted by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Bailey ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. Parks . The facts disclosed were these :—The prisoner and the =trix were, on the evening in question, at • public- Finsbury, where she continued to drink with hon. On corning out into the open air she became insensible, and could not tell what had happened to her, but on her re turning to consciousness she found herself at the prisoner's lodgings, in bed with him. She immediately screamed, and rushed out of the house, without even waiting to secure her bonnet and shawl, and immediately afterwards complained of the prisoner's conduct to several witnesses. The case having closed, the jury retired, and were locked up for two hours at the expiration of which they again came into court, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The Recorder remarked that that was the Infest course as the evidence stood. In the case of two other men—one named Frastia Brannon, an old man, between 50 and 60 Years of age, for an attempted rape on a girl named Elizabeth Sarah Roberts, under 10 years of age ; and another case against a man named John Rohinson, for indecently assault ing Elisabeth Brand, also • child, the prisoners, who bad been prosecuted by the same associatioo during the minion sad eoevieted, were sentenced, Brannon to three years' penal servitude, and Robinson to twelve months' imprimis• meat with hard labour. Jew Coelho, who had been convicted of uttering a forged undertaking for the payment of 300/. was brought up fur judgment. The Recorder said that in a commercial country like this the crime of forgery was a most serious offence. Thu could not but be known to the prisoner, who, though • foreigner, had as • merchant long been acquain ted with the laws of this realm. Looking at all the circumstances of the case he felt hound to seatesee the prisoner to four yearn' penal servitude. FOURTH COURT. (Before the Comma' Serjeent.) _ . AdolpAt Srhocrle, • German, was indicted for stealing 136 models and a quantity of tools, the property of Richard Matthay, his muter. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Bowden prosecuted ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Best and Mr. Pater. The faces of the case were as follows :—The prisoner bad bees for some considerable time in the service of the prose cutor, and on the 13th Oct. he left the employment without giving any nutios, and entered the service of another jeweller ia the same street. The prisoner, on being taken into cos • tody, said that four or live of the models found upon him were given him by the prosecutor, and that the remainder were his own property. In his arm examivativa the prosecutor admitted that on the woo day that he missed the models he asked the primmer to (honer. Mr. Best addressed the jury for the prisoner, and com mented strongly on the conduct of the prosecutor, contend ing that the charge was trumped up against the prisoner because he hod left the prosecutor to go into the service of • rival tradesman in the same trade. Several witnesses were called and gave the privoner an exoellent diameter; and after a summing up by the Common Berjeant, the jury returned ■ verdict of Not Guilty. - • • William Goodson, a respectable-looking moo, a countable, 336 A, of the metropolitan police, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging him with perjury. It will be recollected that the defendant charged two re spectable lads, named Price sod Davidson, apprentices of an engineer, with attempting to pick pockets on the night of tistunlay, the 7th September List. It appeared that the defendant had been mistaken in the lads, who were dis charged by the magistrate, and the present indictment pre ferred against the defendant. The Consmoo Serjeant having partly beard the case, mg. voted that it should he stopped, as it was evident he was megaton in the boys. By the lordship's direction the jury Annulled the defendant. 7 / 7 1:ere ;as another indictment against the defendant foe assaulting the two boys by striking them with a stick. This, ou behalf of the defendant, was denied, and proved, upon which The Commoo &desist said he believed it was • mistake about the use of the stick, but the defendant had com mitted an assault in law by laving his hand on the boys to take them into custody. tie, therefore, suggested that lie should plaid guilty. The defendant acquiesced, and having pleaded guilty of • common assault, was seuteeced to pay • floe of one shilling to the Queen and then be discharged, the Common Eterjeant remarking that the whole affair AMIN out of • mistake, and that al/ parties left the court without • stain upon their characters. Edmund William Baca, the Poehoffice letter carrier, who plaided ridgy to stealing a post letter containing 253/. 10a.. sod in whose possession no leis than 1,400 un delivered letters wen Mood, was brought up for judgmnut, sod sentenced to six yews' pausal servitude. Janice Gillman, who had been convicted on two indict ments charging him with uttering forged l'oet.office orders, was brought up and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour. TAOII4OI AVM, 22, alto a letter carrier, in the Edgware district, convicted of stealing a post letter, was brought up and sentenced to four years penal servitude.

Gentlemen who require good and fashionable Men an depeud as the best asaterish and latest style at Baal Mon and Ithoinea's, 106, ansao„ opposite Lute:•hall— [Advertieeturt.l THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION•HOUBE A respectably dressed man, 55 years of age, named Joke Perkins, and who described himself as a commercial tra veller, residing at No. 14, High•strest, Cheltenham, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody Hich.iel Hayden, a detective of the City of London police, charged with stealing, ou the 27th of February last, a poet letter containing Bank of England notes, country notes, cheques, and other securitie, to the amouut of 1,361 f. ls. lid. during its transit from Louth to Moser.. Prescott's bank in London. _ _ It will perhaps be remembered that a man named Poulton was committed from this court in June last for being in possession of some notes which formed part of the above property, and was convicted at the ('entral Criminal Court, and also that a man named Levy was charged a few weeks since, also at this court, with having some of the notes in his possesalon, but on that occasion there was not sufficient evidence to prove that he knew they were stolen, and he was, after being remanded several times, discharged. Mr. Julian Hill said—l am manager to Mum. Prescott and Co.'s Bank in Threadneedle-street; we are the London agents for the Lincoln and Lindsey Bank at Louth, and we expected a parcel to come from that bank, which ought to have arrived on the 28th of February last That parcel has never arrived. I have been informed and be lieve it contained between 1,3001. and 1,4001. in bank notes and other securities. I know nothing about the prisoner. Michael Hayden—l am a detective in the City of London police, and I was present at the examination of Poulton in June last. I apprehended the prisoner last night at about twelve o'clock, at the Old-street Police-station, St. Luke's. I told him that I charged him with having stolen on the 28th of February last a banker's parcel containing Bank of England notes and other securities to the amount of 1,361/. Is. tie., the letter having been posted at Louth and directed to Messrs. Prescott and Co., Threadneedle-street, hankers. In stating the charge to him I addressed him in the name of Dougles, and after be bad heard the charge, be merely replied that his name was not Douglas, and never had been—it was Perkins. That is the only statement he has made to me. I took him to the Bow-lane station, and in charging him there I told him that I had traced two 1001. Bank of England notes, which were in the parcel when it was stolen, and had mime to believe that 1 should be able to prove that they had been changed by him at a money changer's in Calais within four days after the rob bery, and I believe if a remand be granted that I shall be able to bring forward evidence to prove that the prisoner was dealing with two notes that formed part of the pro. petty mailing, within the time mentioned. The prisoner was then asked if he wished to ask the wit nen any questions. He replied, "I have no questions to ask ; but if I am al lowed I will state the truth of the matter u far as I can. I was in Calais some months since, and while waiting in the square for the train to goon, a gentlemanly man entered into conversation with me, and asked me if I could tell him the beet money changer's there. I told him that I thought the tanker's down the street opposite was the most respectable place, and said it be was willing I would show him the place. He said he would be very glad if 1 would, and on the way said, perhaps I could get a better exchange than he could, and uked me it I would mind trying. I said I had no objection to oblige him, and he handed me two 1001. notes, but whether they were two of them I don't know. I got the change and gave it to him at the door, and then went on to LOU, and having transacted my business there returned to Calais.* The prisoner was then remanded, to enable detective Hayden to make the necessary inquiries. GUILDHALL Jno. Cons of 15 and 64, King Williamatreet, City, of Levriaham was charged before Alderman /isle, having been brou gi t from Brunel' by &Adger, a City detective officer , withh not surrendering to his bankruptcy, and with embezzling a portion of his estate, to the value of 1,0001. and upwards, with intent to defraud his crediton. 116.WcMiner. appeared for the bankrupt ; Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Lewis, of Wilmington-square, conducted the prosecution. and stated that the prisoner at the bar had become a bankrupt under very peculiar circum stances. The offences upon which lie would be proceeded against were for non-surrender on the 2iiith of September last, the day fixed for him to appear in the Court of Bank ruptcy, and for having, in contemplation of bankruptcy, embezzled upwards of 1,000/. worth of goods belonging to the estate. The bankrupt had two shops, Nos. 15 and 84, King Wil liam-street, in both of which he carried on the business of a jeweller, and was realising something like 2111 . per week. About two years ago he went to Oren:wens-gardens, and there met with a woman with whom he had since cohabited, having in the meantime separated from his wife and children. In addition to this he had fallen into the com pany of an absconded bankrupt named Jenks. with whom be had entered into various bill transactions. One of these bills being dishonoured, the bankrupt pawned a quantity of goods to take it up, and that appeared to have been the course of business of late, until the 10th of August, when he. taking advantage of the absence of his foreman. cleared both shops of the most valuable portions of the stock, locked op the promisee, and after giving the keys to his foreman, took his depart ure, as was supposed for Lewisham, and wax not again seen until Fouler, the officer, found him in Brussels. The furniture of his house at Lewisham had been sold a day or two pre vious by the woman he was living with for 381., being about one-third of its value. Owing to the activity of the officer Foulger, a consider able quantity of the goods abstracted had been reoovered. Evidence having been taken in support of the above facts, The prisoner was remanded. Ebenezer Prier, alias Simmer Prier Jones, was brought up before Alderman J. Clarke Lawrence foe final nuunination, relative to II multiplicity of charges, under the Baekruptcy Consolidation Act of Isl 9, as a fraudulent bankrupt. Mr. Oammon conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Beard attended for the bankrupt. The evidenoe given on former occasions relative to the bankrupt's trading in the name of Price, and absconding from his liabilities in 1857, and with pursuing the same coulee in the name of Jones, in the present year; also to the obtaining of goods within three menthe of his bank ruptcy, with intent to defraud his creditors ; the conceal ment of his booke, and the embeulemeot of his estate, hating been read over, the bankrupt was cautioned in the usual form, and having, by the advice of Mr. Beard, his solicitor, declined to say anything, he was committed for trial on all the charges.

Three men well known to the police, named Daniel (Wad ding, (Avow Shale,and Francis Porter, respectably dressed , were brought before Mr. Beecham, charged with stealing 40/. from Benjamin George Phillips in a beer-house in Webber-street, Blackfriars-road, under the following cir stances : The prosecutor, a simple-looking man, said that he had nett! recently fined the situation as waiter at the London Arms, Newcastle. He came up to Loudon a few days ago to look out for a beer-shop, and was residing at Blackheath. The previous evening he was looking in at a stationer's shop window iu the Borough when Shaw came up to him and made some remarks about • picture exposed for sale. Witness then walked on with Shaw, and asked him to direct him the way to the Borough-road, as he wanted to call there. Shaw took him hi that direction, and they entered a public-house and partook of a pint of ale, which Shaw paid for. Another man rushed into the house in great excitement, saying that he had just been left 17.000/., at the same time pulling out what appeared to be a pill of notes. Witness told him to be more careful of his mouey, when Shaw came up and made a similar remark. The other man then made • bet about throwing a 141 b. weight, and they all went to the Firing Horse beer-shop, Webber-street, where Porter sod Cladding joined them, but the weight was not introduced.
