THE NAVY. The St. George, screw line-of-battle-ship, Capt. the Hon. Francis Egerton, with his Royal High ness Prince Alfred on board ; the Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander C. Stirling, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Kiel, as announced yester day, and await orders at Spithead. The ships now at Spithead, in addition to the St. George and Chanticleer, are the Emerald, screw frigate, Capt. A. Cumming ; the Galatea, screw frigate, Capt. R. Maguire ; and the Resistance, screw iron frigate, Capt. Chamberlain. The last-named vessel was undocked yesterday at Portsmouth, and anchored at Spithead in readiness for her official trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, ordered to take place this morning. The Revenge, screw line-of-battle-ship, Capt. C. Fellowes (fllg of Rear-Admiral Smart), moved her berth from alongside Portsmouth dockyard yester day to alongside her hulk, to transfer her crew preparatory to going into dock. The Sutlej, screw frigate, Capt. M. Connolly, in dock at Portsmouth, yesterday embarked her de- tachment of Royal Marine Artillery, consisting of 1 sergeant, 1 bombardier, and 17 gunners. The ship is picking up her crew fast, for, in addition to Capt. Connolly being a very popular officer, the ship her self has a comfortable lower deck for berthing her crew, while her iron sisters are compelled to berth their crews on their main decks. She is besides going on a three or four years' crui.e. Rtar-Admiral George St. Vincent King has been named as the officer who will probably succeed Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Grey as Superin tendent of Portsmouth Dockyard on the expiration 'of the latter officer's term of office. The Simoom wow iron troopship, on being paid out of commission on her return to England from China, was placed in the steam reserve at Ports- mouth until a very recent date, when she was brought down the harbour and placed in No. 7 dock. On this occasion we expressed a hope that her de fects would be made good, and that she would again become available for the public service. An order has now been received at Portsmouth to give the bottom plates (which since she has been in dock have been scraped clear of all incrustation) two coats of preservative varnish and again place the ship at the reserve moorings. We regret to hear this, and trust it is only a temporary measure. There must be plenty of work in hand for our Government troop- _ • ships, and keeping before us the facts of the debtor and creditor account of the Himalaya daring Capt. Seccombe's command, and that the commissioning of Government troopships finds employment for a certain number of officers and seamen, we cannot but think that the Simoom in commission would be a far more profitable investment than the Simoom on the list of the steam reserve. It may not be out of place here to state that the average cost of pre serving the hulls and machinery of the paddle steamers at the present moment in our steam re serves (all of which are of course useless for the future as war ships) is vary close upon £l,OOO each per annum. To this sum must be added the inte rest upon their cost. The hired transport vessel Maria Frederika, Capt. Christensen, with military stores from Hong Kong and three invalided soldiers from St. Helena, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, and after commu nicating with the authorities, received orders to proceed with her cargo round to Woolwich. Mr. Mattison, an artisan in the Devonport dock yard, has invented a mode of preparing iron plates for ships' sides, which it is expected will very much facilitate that difficult work. It has been thus described :—The first process, taking the mould for the curve of the plate, is effected by what is termed an " Ordnance-box"--. that is, a wide piece of iron standing on its edge through which a number of movable bolts are placed. On the points of the bolts being fitted against the side of a ship they are pressed home into the hollows of the curve until the exact shape is obtained. They are then fastened by screws and thus rendered immovable. In connexion with taking the mould is another instrument for obtaining the levels and curved edges of the ship's side. It is made of slight polished iron, exceedingly flexible, so that it readily conforms itself to the curve when by movable pieces of iron crossways and lengthways the levels are taken. The instru ment on being removed returns immediately to its original flattened shape, the edges only retaining the peculiar form given to it by the ship's side. This instrument is for the levels only, the curve of the ship's side being obtained by the other. The mould being thus taken, is transferred to the machine that actually makes the curve, which consists of a kind of iron box filled with what are termed "peppots" —that is, a number of pieces of iron about an inch square and 10 inches long. These, by screws in the bottom, can a:so be lowered or raised, and the mould being placed on the top of these movable pieces of iron, the exact shape of the curve is secured, and the peppots are screwed into their proper posi tion. Another framework, containing similar pieces of iron in a converse position, is suspended over that already described. When the plate to be curved has to be laid on, the lower framework is drawn out on a kind of rail ; the plate, after being heated, is laid on the top of the peppots and drawn into its former position, when, by means of a lever, the upper peppots are brought down with such power as to secure the required shape. The model is 20 inches wide, 30 long, and 42 high. The plan is said to possess great advantages over the one now in use for taking the curves by means of wooden moulds, which are usually 31ft. wide and 41ft. thick and about loft. long. These moulds are cumber scme and costly. Mr. Mattison's plan has been sub mitted to Rear-Admiral Sir Thos. Pasley, superin tendent, and other officers of the Devonport and Keyham yards, who are understood to have expressed their approval of the invention. The model is to be sent to Woolwich to be tested. The screw steam frigate Severn, 39, Commodore Montresor, left Plymouth on Monday for the East Indies. On departure cheers were exchanged be tween her crew and the men belonging to the paddlewheel steam-sloop Geyser, 6, Commander C. Campbell, in the Sound. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Lieut. S. H. Babington and Lieut. Edward J. Jermain to the Excellent; James R. W. Quinn and Thomas C. Pascoe, masters' as sistants, to the Phoebe ; T. J. Grieves, Alfred W. Brookes, and Thomas S. Brand, midshipmen to the Plicebc ; S. B.De Lopez, midshipman, to the Phoebe, us supernumerary ; Edward R.

Groves, naval cadet, to the Sutlej, as supernumerary ; the Hon. W. B. Phipps, naval cadet, to the St. George; Charles J. N oreock, vai cadet, to the Phoebe, as supernumerary ; and Charles E. Morison has b. ..en nominated to a naval cadetship. lIE All3ll/. Orders have been received at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, directing the 26th Company of Royal Engineers, under the command of Capt. F. E. Smith, to be held in readiness to proceed to Portsmouth, for two years' duty at that station. The company has just been augmented to its full complement of 120 men of all ranks from the depot companies at head quarters. During the whole time the 26th cona pany was stationed at Gravesend to undergo its course of ball practice not a single ease of bad con duct of the slightest nature occurred among the men. The high character maintained by the com pany was, there is no doubt, the principal reason of its being selected to be stationed at Portsmouth. Lieut.

A portion of the barracks is to be set apart for a lecture room until the new building is complex ed. The half-yearly inspection of the D field battery, 9th Brigade Royal Artillery, stationed at Chatham garrison, was commenced yesterday by Colonel Nedham, commanding the Royal Artillery in the Chatham district. The augmentation of the corps of Royal Engineers by the formation of two additional companies, each of 120 men, will take place on the Ist October. The two companies, which will be formed at head quarters, Chatham, will be depot companies for men destined for India. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. A meeting of the members of this commission was held in the Court-room at the Guildhall yes terday, under the presidenby of Mr. Henry De Jer sey. Among those present were Alderman Besley, Deputies Reed, Pewtress, Lorkin, Elliott, Lott, Bower, Un win ;Whiteside, Lloyd, Obbard, Rathbone, Fuller, Annis, Harrison ; Messrs. George Walter, Croucher, C. Young, Lester J. T. Young, Dr. Abraham, W. Alcoa, J. E. Saunders, J. Symonds, Green, Kebbel, Owden, Humphreys, Matthew, J. Waterlow, &c. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE WARD OF FARRINGDON WITHOUT. Mr. H. R. NEWTON attended before the Court, and submitted drawings and a model showing a proposition for the relief of the traffic at the cross junction of Fleet-street, Ludgate-hill, and Bridge- street, a question, he said, perhaps of more especial importance than ordinary to consider at the present moment, because the traffic would be rapidly in creased beyond its present excess by the opening of the widened Blackfriars-bridge, and the estab lishment of railway termini adjoining, namely, of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, in Farringdon-street, and that of the Metropolitan Company in Victoria-street. The proposition was to sink, by a gradual incline, to the depth of about 20 feet in the centre of the road in Farringdon. street and Bridge-street (the site of the present cab stands), commencing at about Fleet-lane on the one side, and at Union-street on the other, so as to form a free passage under the old Fleet-bridge for a double line of carriages, for what might be termed the Blackfriars-bridge and Holborn traffic, thereby intercepting any collision between it and the cross traffic of Fleet-street and Ludgate-hill. For equal ising the general width of the approaches a slight alteration of the pavement in Bridge-street would be required, and also the setting back the railings in the open space in front of Crescent-place, under which spot runs the main sewer. Without alter ing the levels of the existing street the gradients could be easily formed to pass under the cross junc. tion of from lin 20 to lin 30. There were, how. ever, favourable circumstances of another character to consider, as the cross junction was now raised 5 feet above the general levels of Farringdon-street and Bridge-street, and thus approached by inclines. If, therefore, this cross junction was raised about 3ft. more, it would be possible to descend under it, and ascend by the side-roads to it by inclines all exactly of the same length and precisely the same gradients, ramely, 1 in 40; and it was obviously a point of the greatest importance to attain, so far as heavy traffic was concerned, that in providing an alterna tive road, it should be, if possible, as convenient in every respect as the ordinary road, otherwise that particular traffic would perhaps be influenced not to make so much use of it as it really might. By rais ing the cross junction only 2 feet the gradients in both cases would be still 1 in 20, but the inclines under the bridge would be longer than up to the cross junction. To form the lower road the crown of the sewer would have to be removed, but the width in no case would be interfered with, and, without raising the levels of the cross junction, the sequently rolled over by the bull.

Mr. Punch happening to be at Bayonne the other day, took the opportunity then afforded him of witnessing a bull-fight, which came off in the presence of the Emperor and Empress of the French. If he had known that he was going to see a cruel and filthy exhibition, he would still have gone, not for amusement, but for instruction, as he goes into the slums, to study human nature, and as surgeons walk the hospitals and cultivate morbid anatomy. But Mr. Punch, superior to prejudice, considered that the common English notion of a bull-fight must be quite a mistake, or that spectacle would never receive the countenance of the representatives of a people which esteems itself to be at the head of civilisation. The bull-fights at Bayonne take place in a circus similar to that in which the British public contem plates performances of horsemanship, gymftastics, and buffoonery. The shady side of the amphi- theatre is the fashionable one in the torrid season. Thereon stood the Imperial box, fitted up with crimson velvet and gold ; thereon also, of course, sat Mr. Punch, who wanted to have a near view of their Imperial Majesties and not to be broiled The performance commenced with the entrance of the toreadors, or whole company of the establish- went, horse and foot, who advanced across the ring and then knelt to the Empress, or saluted her. Ave Eugenia Imperatrix, morituri to salutant cen tainly was rather more than their salutation meant ; still, inasmuch as the Spanish bull-fighter runs some risk of the fate of the Roman gladiator (fourteen toreadors have been killed during the pre sent season), El Tato gets £3OO for his day's work, and Calderon, the principal picador, £2OO. Our toreadors were all of them prettily attired in gold- laced velvet, like so many ballet dancers, save that the picadors, or equestrian spearmen, wore iron boots cased with wash-leather, which gave their lower extremities the look of being affected with dropsy or elephantiasis. Their feet were, in addi tion, protected by large iron stirrups. The rest had on pink silk stockings and shiny pumps. Her Imperial Majesty tossed a key to one of these male coryphees, which is picked up and danced off with. A few moments elapsed, and enter the bull. He was two-and-a-half years old, had been bred on purpose for fighting, and was quite wild. As he entered, a picador stuck a dart into the nape of his neck. The weapon was tastefully decorated with a white satin rosette, intended to make the bull smart, and also look pretty as he kicked and plunged. He was then gently excited by the banderilleros flourishing their scarfs in his face, they, when the bull made at them with his horns, effecting their escape by vaulting over the inclosure of the arena with elegant agility. The task of tickling up the bull a little more seri ously was now undertaken by two picadors who alternately attracted his attention, and each of whom, when the bull rushed on him, turned him from his horse with the point of his spear, inflicting several severe wounds on his head and shoulders, which the bull took in very ill part, roaring, snort ing, and stamping furiously, to the delight of the beholders. One unlucky picador, however, had the misfortune to incur their indignation by not at once shortening his lance so as to allow his horse to be gored. They yelled, screamed, whooped, and shouted " Coward," " Villain," " Scoundrel," blew catcalls and tin trumpets, and made all manner of noise expressive of frantic displeasure. So the pi cador complied with their demand ; shortened his weapon to three feet, and, with his steed, was con torture are as essential as the bull's, they are by no means the fiery steeds they have been represented. There would be no harm in simply killing them if they were only taken to the knacker's at once. Justice requires 31r. Punch to observe that the beastly spectacle which he has above described did not appear to be much relished by the purely French part of the spectators. It was the Spanish, and the mongrel Spaniards, chiefly, who howled like fiends and gloated on the torment and the blood, So their ancestors revelled in the spectacle of heretics burning alive in their robes of mockery painted with devils and flames. Their descendants cannot carry their faith to the extent of an auto dafe, they can only show forth its fruits in the zest with which they gaze on the pangs of quadrupeds inflicted by bedizened effeminate varlets, who stand a good chance of being slain themselves. They are what their priests have made them. at the Old Bailey Sessions in 1856, and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Beard thought the police had no right to bring forward the antecedents . of the prisoner. The only charge at present as he understood was of ob taining £2 2s. of Mr. Harper Twelvetrees by false pretences. Mr. Selfe—Of course, Mr. Beard would have as little as possible said about the prisoner's history. The transactions of the prisoner with Mr. Harper Twelvetrees, of Bromley, and obtaining £2 2s. of him towards the building of a new Congregational Chapel ; his application to Mr. Peter Duval, of Bermondsey, for a piece of ground on which to erect the chapel; and his stealing some books from the house of Mr, George Mirand, have already been made public. The prisoner, who was represented to have wonderful powers of lying, obtained an organ, valued at £2OO, for his alleged new chapel, which was with considerable difficulty got back again by the makers, after being detained some time for rent. The prisoner obtained £3O from a woman, on loan, which he never paid, and a gold watch and chain from the same person, which he pledged. The woman had since taken it out of pawn. Richard Brockfield, 371 K, who had charge of the case, said there waa plenty of evidence against the prisoner, and called Mr. Tudor Newling, tailor, of 21, Sidney-street Commercial-road, who said that the prisoner came to his house in August, 1860, and ordered clothes to the amount of £l2 16s. The reference he gave was satisfactory, the order was complied with, and the clothes were supplied to the prisoner. They were never paid for. Mr. Selfe—And never will be. Mr. Beard—This is only a matter of debt. The Rev. John Grigg Hewlett, D.D., of Trafal gar -square, Mile-end-road, said Mr. Freeman came to him some time ago, and asked for his assistance to enable him to build a new chapel. He put some questions to the prisoner, who said he was the Rev. Thomas Aaron Freeman, Doctor of Divinity, that Oberlin, in America, was his university, and a Mr. Finney was his professor. He had some little doubt about the accuracy of the prisoner's representations, and be now regretted he did not adopt the course of testing his points. The prisoner came again with a letter from a Mr. Horner, which was a;follows Mr. Beard objected—The letter could not be read. The Rev. Dr. Hewlett continued. The prisoner produced a list of subscriptions, containing names I knew. I made the remark, "They are all in the same handwriting." The prisoner said " Yes, I have had them copied." The prisoner also said he wanted £2OO more to complete his chapel. I have since seen my name on the prisoner's subscription list taken from him by the police. My name was put down for three guineas. I gave him nothing. He has used my name to several persons I know, and among others to the Rev. Mr. Duffield, the Rector of Bow. He did so without my authority. 11r. Beard said be wished to ask a question of Mr. Harper Twelvetrees. Did not the prisoner refer him to a Mr. Marsh, of Hackney, who was to build the chapel ? Mr. Twelvetrees — Yes ; that was after he got the money. Mr. Marsh said, "All I know of the man is, he gave me an order for his new chapel." Mr. Beard was proceeding to put other questions to Mr. Twelvetrees, when the magistrate interposed, and said, " This is quite irregular, Mr. Twelvetrees is not upon his oath, and he is seated." Mr. Beard—There was a subscription list. Mr. Selfe--And many sham subscribers. Mr. Beard—The prisoner has been preaching at various chapels, and did intend to build a new one. Mr. Selfe—l am very sorry such a fellow as this has been preaching in any chapel. Mr. Beard said the prisoner had been somewhat indiscreet, and a little too zealous in representing that the ground was taken, and the building about to be erected, before he had made all his arrange ments; but it was really the intention of the pri soner to build a .chapel. The names of persons who had not paid anything were on the subscription list, but that was often done by persons and corn alittees getting up subscriptions for public objects. Well-known names were put down as decoy ducks to induce others to come forward. If the prisoner was really collecting subscriptions to build a chapel and preach the gospel, his object was a laudable one, though he might have been a little irregular in his pursuits. He understood the prisoner had an aged mother and sisters to maintain, and he hoped the magistrate would be lenient with the prisoner on that account. Inspector Griffin, of the IC division, said the pri soner had obtained two suits of clothes of tailors, and pawned them directly. Mr. Beard—Never mind. They are not here to complain. Inspector Griffin—Oh, yes, they are. A gentleman who attended to watch the proceed ings from Stubbs' Trade Protection Office, said the prisoner had defrauded some of Mr. Stubbs' clients, and committed forgeries on others. Mr. Selfe—The people are not here, and I can not take notice of these charges. Where is Oberlin? The Rev. Dr. Hewlett—ln America. Mr. Selfe—Not the New York Central College ? The Rev. Dr. Hewlett—No, sir, it is not. Brockfield—l have received numerous complaints of the reverend gentleman from all quarters. Mr. Selfe said no one could doubt the prisoner was an impostor, assuming the character of a dis senting minister, and going about collecting sub scriptions for a new Congregational chapel, which he never intended to build. There was also no doubt the prisoner came within the terms of the Vagrant Act the sth of George IV., cap. 83. Among other definitions of a rogue and vagabond in clause 4, was the following :—" Every per son going about as a gatherer or collector of alms, or endeavouring to procure charitable con tribiktions of any nature or kind under any false or fraudulent pretence." He had no hesitation in say ing the prisoner was a rogue and vagabond within the meaning of the Vagrant Act, and that he had falsely and wickedly represented to many respectable persons that he wanted money to build a Congre gational chapel, of which he was to be the pastor, and such a pastor to, and that he had spent the money received by him, and that he never intended to apply it to the purpose for which it was given. It was no excuse for the prisoner to say that he had placed a board on a piece of ground with the in scription, " Site of the intended new Congregational chapel, the Rev. T. A. Freeman, 8.D., minister." That was a subterfuge. The prisoner had made out a fictitious subscription list, and induced people to subscribe money for the erection of a chapel, which money was expended by the prisoner in the main tenance of himself and the woman with whom he cohabited. The prisoner was a disgraceful fellow, an imposter living by his wits. He sentenced the prisoner, as a rogue and vagabond, to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Cor rection. The prisoner had better take warning and not carry on his system of imposture in the garb of religion, and not desecrate holy things by represent ing himself to be a minister of the Gospel, going about to raise money to build a new chapel. The prisoner, who put on the appearance of a martyr, was then removed. Brockfield said there was an important charge of felony against the prisoner. Mr. Selfe—You can prefer it three months hence, when he comes out of prison. Several well-dressed females, of all ages, were lamenting and wringing their hands 'when they heard the sentence on their " dear minister," as they called him. WORSHIP-STREET. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN.—AIfred Bowring, a scale maker. in Ann-street, Mile-end, was charged be fore Mr. Cooke with obtaining money under false representations. Mr. Abbott defended. Mrs. Sarah Spriggs, the wife of a colour manu facturer in Spital-street, Mile-end, swore that on the 29th July last the prisoner and anoth er man went to her shop ( h ir ing Mr. Spriggs' absence, and said they had been sent by Mr. Reynolds, the high constable of the Tower Hamlets, to adjust the scales and weights; that they proceeded in behind the counter and busied themselves appar en tl y i n so do ing, subsequently . making out a bill for 6s. Bd., which she then paid to prisoner's companion. The receipt for the amount mentioned was pro duced, and seen to be written upon one of the pri soner's trade circulars. Complainant's mother corroborated this evidence, and Oliver, 218 H, stated that when he took the pri soner into custody he insisted upon Mr. Reynolds having sent him, but that on his way to the o ffice of Mr. Reynolds he d en i e d i t . Mr. Thomas Reynolds, the chief constable and inspector of weights and scales for the entire dis trict of the Tower Hamlets, made oath that he had never authorised the prisoner or any other person to examine weight or scales or to adjust them. He and an assistant alone attended to his duties. Nor did he ever adjust weights or scales. When he found th e y were f au lt y h e took them away. Nu merous similar offences to the present had recently come under his notice, and he frequently found that when shopkeepers were summoned before a magis trate for having short -weights they had been the victims of a false pretence, as in this instance. b y Mr. Abbott—Had known pri- Cross-examined soner as a respectable man for a considerable time.

CLERKENWELL.—MURDEROUS ATTACK UPON POLICE CONSTABLES.—Patrick Cain and a female with whom he cohabited were brought up, charged with committing a murderous assault upon two po lice constables while in the execution of their duty_ Win, Chambers, police-constable 163 E, said at half-past 12 o'clock that morning he was on duty in llean-street, Holborn, when he was informed that a row was taking place outside the Cheshire Cheese Tavern, in that street. On going there he found 30 or 40 men and women, mostly thieves and prosti tutes of the lowest description. There was a great disturbance, and he requested several of them to go away, whereupon the male prisoner came up, pulled off his coat, and making use of a disgusting expres sion, exclaimed, " I'll give you a dressing." Two others then came up and deliberately struck him. The male prisoner striking him a very severe blow in the stomach, he endeav_ured to keep him and others off, but was most roughly handled. Another constable then came to his aid, but was met with a violent blow. Witness endeavoured to take the pri soner into custody, when another man knocked him down, and the prisoner kicked him, and five or six then pulled the prisoner from him. The mob then set on his brother officer, and he was forced down, the prisoner being on him ; he (witness) then felt a number of heavy blows on his head, and on looking round found the female pri6oner with a closed knife in her hand, with which she had struck him, and he bled greatly. At that time several other constables came up, and both prisoners, after a desperate re sistance, were got to the station. He had since been totally unfit for duty. Mr. John Wakeling, who appeared on behalf of the prisoners, severely cross-examined the officer, but did nut shake his testimony. John Sullivan. 159 E, stated that, hearing the disturbance, he went to the assistance of his brother officer, whom he found to be severely ill treated. He (witness) had scarcely got up, how ever, when the prisoner, who was behaving like a madman, struck him a violent blow on -the nose with his fist. He then took him into custody, when, putting his leg behind me, ho threw him over, and he (witness) falling on the ground, in jured his shoulder and arm so severely that he had scarcely been able to use it since. They struggled again some moments, when the woman attacked him, striking him several blows on the head with some blunt instrument, which he afterwards found to be a closed knife, which was taken from her. Had it not been for the assistance of other con stables who came up, the result would have been even more serious. Police-constable 47 S, said he had known the male prisoner eight or nine years. He had been convicted several times for assaults and other offences, including burglary; and the female had had six !months from that court. The male pri soner had been heard to say that he was determined to be hung for the police. Mr. Wakeling, for the prisoners, contended that the officers had greatly ill-treated them without sufficient provocation. _ _ Mr. D'Eyncourt said there was a very serious charge of a similar nature before him the day be fore, in which several constables were injured; and owing therefore to the alarming increase of such outrages, he had determined to have the offenders punished severely. He must therefore commit both prisoners to take their trial. The prisoners were then removed. LAMBETH.—ALLEGED OVER ZEAL OF A Po- LICE-CONSTABLE.—Mr. Frederick Palmer, a re spectable tradesman, residing in Lambeth, was charged before Mr. Elliott with assaulting police constable Arthur Barret, 67 L. The constable said that on the night before, while going his rounds, he saw the prisoner standing in a doorway in Hercules-buildings, and asked him if he was waiting for any one. The pri soner replied by telling him to mind his own busi ness, and he said that was his business, upon which he struck him on the face, and also spat at him and tried to throw him down, but be succeeded in tak ing him to the station-house. The prisoner and his friends had evidently been drinking, _ _ In reply to the charge, Mr. Palmer said he had to complain of the shameful treatment which he had experienced at the hands of the constable, and public justice required that the case should undergo a strict investigation. On the evening before, he said, he, accompanied by two others, had h: en to visit a dying friend, and were returning to their homes, when he, being about fifty yards in advance of his party, had merely stopped to await their coming up. He had scarcely done so when the constable came up, and in an authoritative tone asked him what he did there. He replied that he was waiting for his friends, who were behind him, when he said he could not allow him to stop there, and that if he did not go on he must remove him to the police station, and at the same time pushed him from the foot-pavement into the road. By this time his friends came up, and asked what it was all about, and the complainant threatened to take them to the station-house also. A gentleman, a perfect stranger to him, who remonstrated with the constable on his extraordinary conduct, was also threatened with the horrors of the station-house, and would have been in attendance to describe the conduct of the police man had not pressing business prevented him. He (Mr. Palmer) told the complainant that he had been for many years a householder and ratepayer of the parish of Lambeth, but though he had offered in the first instance to accompany the constable to the station-house, he, not satisfied with this, took him along the streets to the Tower• street station. In conclusion, he assured the magistrate that he never struck nor intended to strike the complainant, but in his efforts to protect himself from his violence his hand might have struck his face. Mr. Davis, of 1, Paradise-walk, Lambeth, ma thematical instrument maker, said he had been in the company of Mr. Palmer on the night before, and finding him in an altercation with the con stable, asked the latter what his friend had done, and the reply he received was that he had better go on, or he should lock him up. He asked what he had done to justify him in locking him up; and Mr. Bowles, a friend of his, remarked that the po liceman must be either mad or drunk, for no one in his senses would go on as he did. He saw the policeman push Mr. Palmer from the footway into the road, and he followed up his threats by taking Mr. Palmer to the station-house. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, The witness admitted that Mr. Palmer might have touched the policeman in the face when he raised his hands to protect himself from the con stable's violence, but it was not a blow, nor had he struck him intentionally. Witness and his party were perfectly sober, and they in the first instance volunteered to accompany the policeman to the station. Mr. John Bowles, of 168, Tyer•street, Lambeth, wheelwright, who had been one of the party, cor roborated the statement of the last witness in all its essential particulars. Mr. Elliott here asked Mr. Palmer if it was his intention to prefer a charge or complaint against the constable. Mr. Palmer replied he certainly did, as he felt bound on public grounds to do so, and when the case came again before his worship, he would have the opportunity of having the evidence of the gen tleman he had before mentioned. Mr. Elliott said that in order to give him an opportunity of preferring his complaint before the Commissioners of Police as required, he would ad journ the case till that day week, when it would be fully investigated. Mr. Palmer thanked his worship, and left the court in the company of his s friends. THAMES.—A REVEREND ROGUE AND VAGA BOND.—CharIes Freeman, a tall, thin, sanctimonious looking man, who has for some time styled himself the Rev. Thos. Aaron Freeman, 8.D., was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, to answer various charges of swindling, obtaining money under false pretences, and larceny. Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, who defended the prisoner, requested that all the witnesses might be ordered out of court, and his request wa s com p li ed with. An Tapper, a printer, in Barge - yard , Bucklersbur y. exception was made in favour of Mr. The prisoner was formerly in Mr. Tapper's employ, and he stole some printed cheques, the property of his employer, forged the names of several respect able persons, and uttered some of the cheques, as genuine, to tradesmen and others who were deceived by the plausible manners of the pretended clergy. man. For this offence the prisoner was convicted what he had done was from a kindly feeling; the charge of 6s. Bd. for his trouble being about half of what any other person would have made. Mr. Reynolds observed that even after his kind ness the weights were incorrect. Mr. Cooke said that prisoner must make a jury believe the defence set up if he could, and fully com mitted him for trial at the ensuing Middlesex Ses sions. WANDSWORTH.—THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN BATTERSEA-FIELDS.—George Robert Kilsby, aged 40, a clerk in Tothill-fields House of Correc tion, was brought before Mr. Ingham, for the third time, for examination, on the charge of shooting Hy. Cook, a grocer, of Battersea-fields, with a pistol, with intent to murder. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner. Inspector Lovelace handed in another medical cer tificate relating to the state of the injured man, of which the following is a copy : " I certify that Mr. H. Cook has continued to im prove slowly since the last report, and that his case is likely to be very protracted, the result being at present uncertain. " JoHN C. RICHARDSON, Police Surgeon, &c. " Battersea, Sept. 22, 1862." Mr. Ingham expressed his intention of remanding the prisoner again on account of the uncertain state of the injured man. Mr. Lewis said there being that uncertainty, and as the man might remain in that state for months, he suggested that, after the remand of this week, the prisoner should be sent for trial on a charge of doing some grievous bodily harm. If the man after wards died, the prisoner could be tried again for the murder. Mr. Ingham thought the first trial would be a bar to the order. Mr. Lewis said there was a precedent in a case which occurred in the Queen's Bench Prison. Mr. Ingham wished Mr. Lewis to produce the authority in that case on the next occasion. He stated that as soon as the medical gentleman informed him that the man would recover, there would be no reason why prisoner should not be sent for trial. The prisoner was then remanded until next Wed nesday. It appears that the wounded man is supposed to have seven of the shots in his liver, and the remain ing three in his right lung, and very little hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery. THE MYSTERIOUS DEA7II OF A YOUNG LADY AT BARNES. Yesterday morning Mr. W. Carter, coroner for Eastern Surrey, resumed, at the Boileau Arms, Castlenau-terrace, Barnes, the adjourned inquiry into the circumstances of the death of a female un known, whose body had been washed ashore about ten days since under very mysterious circumstances. It will be remembered that the mouth of the de ceased was found to be stuffed with part of a veil or bonnet fall, and appearances led to the inference that sbe had met her death by unfair means. Inspector M'lntyre attended to watch the case on the part of the commissioners of police. Mr. Hunt, M.R.C.S., Bridge-road, Hammer smith, said that a week since he was shown the body of deceased, and it appeared to have been about three days in the water. He made a post. mortem examination, and found a mark of vio lence on the left temple. It consisted of a deep abrasion, but as decomposition had set in he could not say whether it had been inflicted before or im mediately after immersion. There was also an abrasion on the right leg. There was no fracture of the skull under the wound on the temple. The deceased was found to have been enceinte for the period of about four months. The cause of death was suffocation by drowning. Parker, a labourer, said that he found the body where not six ; inches of water could have flowed over it. Mrs. Jane Frewen, Norfolk Dairy, South-end, Fulham, said that last Thursday she and her hus band came to the Boileau Arms, and saw the agate brooch and the gold earrings produced. She re cognised them as presents she had given her daughter Mary. She was 29 years of age. Witness also recognised the clothes produced as those of her daughter. She was not aware that deceased was married. She followed the avocation of a barmaid. itness last saw deceased in Highgate, when she said that she had lost her situation, and that she should send her things out to Fulham. Witness did not think anything was wrong. Witness re cognised the handwriting produced as that of her daughter. The following letter, which had neither name nor address, was read by the coroner, who stated that it had been found on deceased : " Sept. 10, 1862. " Dearest Ben,—l have taken your gold watch and book to Mrs. Hines, Camden Town. You shall never see me again on account of my misconduct. Good bye, my dear Ben, for ever; my heart is broken; I am going as fast as I can to heaven." Witness, from hearing that letter read, came to the conclusion that deceased had committed self destruction. Wednesday fortnight was the last time witness saw her or heard from her. Deceased was last in service as a barmaid at the Gatehouse Tavern. Her sole motive for destroying herself must have been her pregnant condition. Mr. Frewen gave similar evidence, and said that on the Wednesday fortnight deceased took her boxes to a carrier's for transmission to Fulham, and she was never seen afterwards alive. Mr. Benjamin Allanton said that he last saw de ceased on Sunday, the 7th inst. He believed the note produced to be in her handwriting. Dear Ben was meant to signify witness. He had been ac quainted with ber about two years. He had formed a great attachment for her. He did not know that she was enciente. He supposed her reason for de stroying herself was that he disapproved of her drinking habits. There was no agreement of mar riage between them. They never lived together. The Coroner then summed up, and said that at first the impression appeared irresistible that de ceased had met her death from violence, but the evidence taken now had clearly shown that she had died by her own hand. The jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict that deceased committed suicide while of unsound mind. SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT. Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Central Middle sex, prosecuted an inquiry at Middlesex Hospital yesterday touching the death of Daniel Clayton, labourer, 54 years of age, residing at 32, Crown street, Soho. Henry Lawson, cabdriver, living at 46, Augustus street, Regent's-park, stated that he was walking down Tottenham-court-road shortly after 12 o'clock on that day week, and hearing another cabman di recting a policeman round the corner of Oxford treet into Boziers-court, he ran round. He there saw the deceased standing by a lamp-post, with his right arm extended and bleeding dreadfully. A heavily-laden van was passing along, when the policeman ran after it to stop it, and he procured a cab and brought the bleeding man as quickly as possible to the hospital. Subsequently deceased told witness that while he was pointing out to two gentlemen the way to the Exhibition a van came past and suddenly pinned him against the lamp post, and either , a piece of metal or one of th e w h ee l s caught him violently by the arm, tearing it in a shocking manner. He told witness nobody was to blame, and it was also stated by the two gentlemen that there was no fault attached to the driver. Other evidence taken went to confirm the state ment of Lawson, that no blame whatever was attri butable to the driver of the van. George Grimmer, the driver, said he lived at 22, Manning -street, Edgware-road, and was carman to Mr. Wright, of the Rose Inn, Smithfield. He knew nothing whatever of the accident until a gentleman stopped him some distance from the spot. He had five tons of yellow metal bolts in the van, which was drawn by three horses. Mr. R. Hunt, the senior house surgeon of the hospital, said deceased was brought there with the arm severely lacerated, the arteries exposed and bleeding profusely. He sank on Saturday from pycemia caused by exhaustion and hemorrhage. FATAL CONS.EQUENCES OF FURIO US DRIVING. Dr. Lankester, the coroner, held an inquest at the Horse and Groom, Stephen-street,Tottenham-court road, last evening, on the body of a child named Arthur Gunn, aged three years, living with his parents, at 26, Gresse-street, ltathbone-place. The evidence adduced from Mr. Jarvis, a veteri • nary surgeon, and a man in his employ named Wallis, went to show that on the 18th inst. Wm. Brooker, driver of a van, drove down a place called Stephen's-mews, where a number of children were at play, according to habit, and caught the deceased in the wheels. Severe wounds were inflicted upon the unfortunate child, of which it shortly after wards died. • Mr. Jarvis deposed that Brooker was in the habit of driving fast down the mews, although the road way was a great descent, and at the time of the ac cident he could not have been driving much less than nine miles an hour. Wallis heard that Brooker had been cautioned for his rapid driving on former occasions, Wm. Broo:ier volunteered a statement to the effect that he certainly was going ra th er qu i c k , b u t nothing like nine miles an hour. Th e h orses were apt to go quick at that point, b u t h e state d posi tively that he did not see the children at play until 'he IMO down upon them, and directly he did see them he pulled up as well as he could. He ad mitted knocking the deceased down, and called a witness who saw the accident, and who deposed that he (Brooker) was not going more than four or five miles an hour. He further deposed that the ch ild absolutely run out from one side of the road against the van, and that Brooker was using due caution. The Coroner put it to the jury whether this was a case of manslaughter or not, and the jury, after deliberation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death, with a very strong censure on Brooker, which was duly passed upon him by the coroner. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING Tit WEEK. (From the Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths registered in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,185, showing a slight increase on the previous week's number, which was 1,138. If the deaths from epidemic cholera in the 38th week of 1854 are ex cluded, it will be found that the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,029, which, corrected f,r increase of population, will become 1,131, Hence it appears that the deaths of last week are 54 in ex cess of the estimated number. The increase is chiefly duo to heart and bronchial affections. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 385. Under this head are included 55 deaths from measles, 18 from whoop ing-cough, 66 from typhus, 85 from scarlatina, 8 from dip theria, 67 from diarrhoea, and 2 from cholera. A journeyman carpenter, aged 27 years, died at 22, Dal ston-terrace, Dalston, of cholera, one week. The son of a ballast-heaver, aged six months, died at 1, Painter's-rents, Ratcliff, of cholera infautum, five days. Three children, aged two, eight, and eleven years respectively, died at 207, Bethnal-green-road, from scarlatina roaligna, aggravated by the foetid exhalations from an adjoining sausage factory. A carriage painter died at 36, Upper Park-place, Maryle bone, from chronic lead poisoning. A female, aged sixty - nine, died at the Poor-house, Bermondsey, from old age, accelerated by want of proper nourishment and warmth. She was formerly a dealer in hair for building purposes, and was destitute of bedding for a long time. Of eight nonagenarians whose deaths are recorded in the week the oldest persons were a man and a woman, who had each attained the age of 96 years. Last week the births of 872 boys and 888 girls, in all 1760 children, were registered in London, In the 10 cor responding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1833. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.045 in. The baro metrical readings rose from 29.70 in. at the beginning of the week to 30.27 in. on Thursday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 58.6 deg., which is 2.3 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 73.8 deg. on Monday ; the lowest night temperature was 43.6 deg. on Thursday. The range of the thermometer in the week was therefore 30.2 deg. The mean daily range was 18.9 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 78, complete saturation being represented by 100. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 60.6 deg. Rain fell on Monday The general direction of the wind was north-east. COUN2RI MA RILL' S. t .-__. LEEDS-TUESDAY.

SUICIDE THROUGH LOVE.—Au inquest was held at Birmingham on Friday afternoon, by Dr. Birt Davies , respecting the death of Harriet Elizabeth Gregory, who had poisoned herself on the 16th inst. A letter was found, the handwriting of the deceased, to the following effect :-"" " Dear mother,—John Phillips is the cause of my death; and he has behaved in an improper manner to me.
