The surname (Wilson), the occupation, and number of street, were only known. His Honour thought the difficulty was easily got over. Use the first letter of the alphabet." (Laughter.) Mr. Buchanan—Yes ; make it A Wilson. COUNTY COURT AGENTS. Upon a case being called (Batley v. Mansfield), Mr. Norton, solicitor to the defendant, refused to proceed until plaintiff's agent left the box. _ His Honour desired the agent to step down, and called upon plaintiff to prove his case, which ended ii a verdict for defendant. SALESMEN AT NEWGATE MARKET.-IMPORTANT DECISION. THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR WAKEFIELD. On the 18th of March, 1858, Mr. Edward Farrer. farmer, Lingwell Gate, near Wakefield, was robbed of £145 by three men, and maltreated in so brutal a manner that he was confined to his room for six weeks. The chief constable could obtain no clue to the parties engaged in the robbery until the 17th, when John Holdsworth, a prisoner in the Wake field House of Correction made a statement impli cating himself and three other men, named Stephen Blllington, William Payne, and Ralph Adams. Holdsworth had been convicted of breaking into a butcher's shop, and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, a sentence which expired on Fri-lay last. His statement was that between 4 and 5 o'clock on a Wednesday, about a year and a-half ago, he was at the prisoner Adams' house, in Kirkgate, Wakefield, where the prisoners Payne and Billington afterwards came. They all four agreed agreed to have a walk up the street, and Payne, seeing the prosecutor's cart standing near the door of the Boy and Barrel public-house, said there was a man there who had to go to Lingwell Nook. It was then agreed that they should rob him, and they went forward to the railway bridge, where the robbery took place. After waiting the thought that he was a long time in coming, and Holdsworth was directed by his companions to go and see where he was. He did so, and passed Mr. Farrer's cart at Mr. Wild's door. He walked for ward, hesitating whether to go home or to return ; but he adopted the latter alternative, and on arriv ing at the bridge he discovered Mr. Farrer lying on the ground bleeding. Anotherman, named Jackson, was with him, and Holdsworth assisted him to put the prosecutor into his cart. Jackson was not able to corroborate Holdsworth in this respect, owing tp its being so dark that he was unable to identify him. The same night Holdsworth saw Payne at Wakefield, and he told him the prosecutor had said he had lost between £l4O and £l5O, where upon Payne replied, " He's a liar • all we have got is £4." He subsequently saw Adams, who made a similar statement, and who gave him a sovereign. Adams and Payne are at present undergoing sentences at York Castle. Adams was tried at the last March assizes, for cutting and wounding one of the gamekeepers of the high sheriff, and was sentenced to be imprisoned for 18 months. Payne was also tried for wounding at the last assizes, and his sentence was either six or eight months' im prisonment. Billington appears to have been apprehended on the statement of Holdsworth, and whilst the former was at the West Riding police office at Wakefield, charged with participation in this robbery, and under the care of George Wilkin son Grist' ale, policeman, he said :—" lam taken again, but I'll not go by myself. I have told of one robbery, and tell of this." He then stated that on the night of the robbery he met Adams, Payne, and Jack Holly (Holdsworth), in Kirkgate, Wakefield, when Payne said to him they intended having somebody that night. His statement was much the same as that of Holdsworth, with respect to their proceeding to the railway bridge, and he concluded as follows : —We stopped there a short time. We thought Farrer was not coming that way, so we sent Jack Holly back to see where he was. Whilst Holly was away Farrer came up. Adams got hold of the horse's head and stopped it. Payne went up to the cart and struck Farrer over the head with a hedgestake, and then " shot" the carelip, and Farrer fell out on the road. Payne then opened Farrer's waistcoat, and took from the inside pooket a purse, and said, " Here is a good lump." He also rifled his other pockets, and took therefrom a knife and a comb. We all had hedgestakes with us. Payne and Adams beat him very severely, and whea they were beating him, Payne said—' Let us murder him ; dead men can tell no tales.' I said—' No, let us go, we have given him enough.' We left him lying on the road apparently insensible, and ran over the railway towards Potovens. When we had crossed the railway, Payne threw the purse, comb, and knife into the hedge bottom. We went to a shed at Silcoats Fields, where Payne gave me 30s. and said he would give Jack Holly a sovereign." In defence, Billington remarked :—" I have nothing to say. I know nothing about it." Payne said he had been in prison for two months, and he never heard anything about this case till last Tues day. He never was with loldsworth in his life. Adams said nothing in defence. The prisoners were, on Friday, committed to York for trial on this new charge. —Manchester Guardian. -ILUTLEY V. KEATS. This was a very hard-fought case, of considerable im portance to the salesmen of Newgate and other markets. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and said that although the sum in dispute was only 17s. sd. the matter was very important. It appeared that plaintiff sent a quantity of pig skins to the defendant's warehouse for defendant to sell on commis sion. Defendant sold a small portion, and the plaintiff without his intervention sold the remainder to a friend. Defendant, however, claimed his commission on the whole sale, and refused to hand over the proceeds of his own sale. On the part of plaintiff, two salesmen deposed that they never knew of a case in which a salesman could claim when the goods were sold without his interference. To answer this defendant called a witness, who said that salesmen paid a high rent, and it was a convenience for parties to send their goods to their premises. This witness said he was in the habit of paying salesman whether they sold of not. His Honour thought there was no defence, and found for plaintiff, with attorney's costs. ♦UCTIONEERS' PRIVILEGES.--BRADFORD Y. HENRY. This was an action to rec'jver a balance of rent, and it appeared from the defence set up by Mr. White for defen dant, that certain goods had been sold by auction. _ The auctioneer was examined by Mr. White, and admitted that a set of chessmen had been bought by witness. The highest bid was £7, and witness bought them himself for £7 2s. 6d. He considered he had a right to do so. It was a privilege enjoyed by all auctioneers. Mr. Buchanan (for plaintiff)—yo u do not bid and knock down. Witness —Certainly not. It was then contended that the sum paid had been in full, but Mr. Buchanan called plaintiff, who denied it, and his Honour found for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE PREVALENT USE OF THE TEEM—Margaret Welsh was charged with creating a disturbance and with biting Wm. Watson, 135 C. Mr. Robert Pickering said he was superintending some works going on in Compton-street, Soho, when the prisoner came up to him with a stone in her hand and asked if his name was Barber. He said it was not, upon which she said she knew it was, and that he let her husband have money to get drunk with, and holding up the stone threatened to " knock it through his head." He then gave her into custody, _ _ . Wm. Watson, 135 C, said that the prisoner had a sickly child in her arms, and fearing she would hurt it, he was about to take it away from her when she seized his hand and bit it. Sergeant Glass, C, said he was obliged to have a doctor to the child in the course of the night, as he thought it would have died. It was still in her arms in a bad condition. Mr. Beadon said there had been so many cases of the use of the teeth during the last few weeks that he should not overlook this case. He should send her to prison for seven days, and the child would go to the infirmary. Mary Sullivan, a low-looking female, was neat charged with creating a disturbance in Tichborne-street, and biting George Thoyse, 27 C, at three o'clock this morning. The constable proved the case, and said the woman had been at the court over and over again, and only three weeks ago was committed for 14 days. • Mr. Beadon, having animadverted in severe terms on the practice of using the teeth, committed her for a month with hard labour. THAMES, CHARGE OF CUTTING AND WOUNDING. — Timothy Murphy, a labourer, aged 36, was brought before Mr. Sethi on remand, charged with cutting and wounding Dennis Leary. _ . The prosecutor, who was in a weakly condition from loss of blood, and has been under medical treatment for several days, presented himself in the witness box, with his head bandaged and his right arm in a sling. Leary and Murphy are both Irishmen, and the former lives at No. 2, Hobson's court, Copenhagen-place, Limehouse, and the other at No. .3, Hobson'slfourt. Both men have the reputation of being very industrious and very quarrelsome. Leary has red hair, and had been frequently annoyed by his neighbour calling him "carrots." On the evening of the 22d inst., a Mrs. Smith, who lives near Hobson's-court, saw the prisoner with a clasp lmife in his hand, and he approached her parlour window and sharpened the knife upon the window ledge. While he was doing so he said, "I'll have my revenge upon carrots." He returned to his i own house, came out again with the knife, and waited unti he saw Leary, whom he abused, and endeavoured to plunge the knife into his body, exclaiming, " I'll do for you, you old b —r, I will." Leary raised his right arm to parry the blow, and the knife caught his wrist, on which a deep and dangerous wound was inflicted. The prisoner then knocked down Leary with his fist, and when he got up knocked him down again. Leary fell upon his head and was stunned. He was removed to the hospital on a stretcher, and has ever since suffered much from the wounds he re ceived and the loss of blood. Two witnesses, not acquainted with either party, confirmed the state ment of Leary; and a policeman named Tyler, 155 K, who took the prisoner into custody, said there wero marks on the window sill of Mrs. Smith's house, and he had no doubt they were caused by sharpening a knife there. Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, who defended the prisoner, en deavoured to make it appear by his cross-examination of the witnesses that no knife was used, but the witnesses were quite certain the prisoner had a knife in his hand when he struck at Leary. The only important fact elicited in cross examination from Leary was that he had been convicted and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment for an aggra vated assault upon a woman. Mr. Fletcher advised the prisoner to reserve his defence. Mr. Selfe complained there was no medical evidence in this case, and committed the prisoner for trial for unlaw fully wounding. AURORA BOREALIS. The following letters have been addressed to a contemporary : Sir,—About half-past 1 o'clock this morning, I observed a fine aurora borealis occupying more than one-half the sky. It had the appearance of an ir regular hemisphere of white light fringe, with a band of crimson, from 20 deg. to 30 deg. broad, stretching from S. W. to N.E. by E. A few dark clouds served to give increased effect to the phenomenon., Notwithstanding the great light, the stars seemed to have increased in brilli ancy. Each of the six stars of the Pleiades was dis tinctly visible to the naked eye, more distinct than I remember to have seen them even in the clear nights of tropical regions. When the aurora ceased this group resumed its usual somewhat dull and misty appearance.—Your obedient servant, OBSERVER. Norcliff-lodge, Brighton, Aug. 20. Sir,—l lose no time in sending you an account of perhaps the most extraordinary phenomenon I have ever seen (my experience dates back about 30 years) a brilliant display of aurora borealis in August. It commenced last night (Sunday) about 10 45 p.m., and has lasted probably the whole night (two hours unavoidable sl‘ , ep prevents my speaking with certainty on the point). On its first appearance there were several fine streamers some of them white and some faint crim son extending from near the horizon almost verti cally to a and b Crete Majoris. From that time till midnight there were generally very beautiful streamers, but without lateral motion (which re mark applies to the whole display), most of them being not quite vertical, but inclining slightly towards the cast at the top. There was also always a general light, extending at midnight from N.B. to W., and sometimes bright enough to enable a person to read the time on the face of an ordinary watch. There was generally a bank of clouds near the north horizon, and sometimes this obscured the sky for 20 degrees or so upwards. Barometer steady at 29.8 (228 feet above the sea). Air calm. While I write the approaching day light has put out the aurora. At 250 am. there were two feathery streaks of light extending from the horizon to near the zenith, and passing across the a and b Ursa) Minoris. Allow me to call your attention to the coinci dence of the time of the occurrence of this extra ordinary phenomenon with that of the appearance of remarkable solar spots. I remain, Sir your most obedient servant, WILLIAM C. BUILDER. Clifton, Monday, Aug. 29, 4 a.m. Sir,—At a quarter past 12 o'clock a.m. this morn ing my attention was drawn to the illuminated state of the sky to the S.W., which I supposed ori ginated from a fire. A kind friend having extensive factories in the locality indicated, I at once pro ceeded to the spot, but on reaching a more open space for observation, I was enabled to detect my mistake as to the cause, and enjoyed the treat of observing the aurora borealis in great brilliancy. The intense glare of red, covering a very large ex tent to S.W., remained fixed for 20 minutes with out that play of light generally to be observed, and in a N.E. direction rays of white light were play ing in all directions, and at intervals black masses, their edges tinged with blood-red, produced a sub lime spectacle. I remain, Sir your most obedient servant, JOHN WEBSTER. 64a, Glocester-street, Pimlico, Aug. 29. The mortal remains of the Countess (Dowager) I of Norbury are to be interred at Kensall-green Cemetery to-day. The funeral will be strictly private. Baron d'Osten Sacken, Secretaire de la Legation de Russie, has arrived at the Brunswick, Jermyn-street. Sir John Lawrence, accompanied by Lady Law rence and four members of his family, arrived in Cork on Thursday. The following morning they left for the Lakes of Killarney. The steam commercial marine of the United Kingdom on the Ist January last comprised 1,854 vessels of 682,433 gross tonnage, since which they have increased to 1,939 vessels of 711,477 tons. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Behar has brought the first parcel of tea ever received in this country by the overland route, thereby anticipating by some six weeks the ordinary arrivals. It is fine Kaisow, the produce of the new season, and has, we learn, been pur chased by Messrs. Bnllivant and Wilson, of Eaateheap, at the full price of 3s. 4d. per pound. The exchange at St. Petersburg, instead of having been benefited by the new loan, has declined to 340 The fall since its announcement has thus been lid., or 3 per cent. This result will, of course, merely be temporary, but it indicates that a large portion of the subscriptions must have come from Russia. There has been increased activity in the general business of the port of London during the past week. The number of ships reported inward was 275, and those cleared outward amounted to 113, including 18 in ballast. The export trade continues good, the actual shipment of British goods to the colonies being rather holly. 98 I 81 1062 50} 9 i 86f f d 7151 7 a 1 all 1100 1.7.2 FOREIGN MINES Australian Bon AccordCopper,Lim.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE HOLMES.-THE " PATRICIAN." This bankrupt was described as formerly of Charlotte row, Mansion. house-street, mercantile agent, and now of the" Patrician," New Coventry-street, &e., victualler and refreshment-room keeper. The accounts by Messrs. Johnson and Wilson, extend from Sept., 1857, to May last, and show—Dr. to creditors: unsecured, £4,855 ; creditors holding security, £2,483 ; pro fit on business, Charlotte-row, £417 ; loss at the " Patri cian," £162. Cr.: Property held by creditors, £4,141; trade expenses, £1,044 ; losses, £269 ; law costs, £554 ; discount and interest, .£2,69 ; house and personal expenses, 4115 ; deficiency at commencement, £255 ; losses, £269. There were also liabilities on each side the account of £l9l and £723, under an insolvency in 1855. After a brief examination the bankrupt passed. IN RE PARKER. This bankrupt was described as of Bermondsey, wheel wright, and came up to pass his examination, supported by Mr. C. G. Lewis (Harrison and Lewis). Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, to oppose on the ground that the bankrupt had fraudulently disposed of his property just before his bankruptcy. Mr. W. R. Buchanan also opposed for creditors generally, and it was contended that the bankrupt had made a frau dulent bill of sale, and that the accounts filed by the bank rupt were so unsatisfactory, that Messrs. Johnson and Wilson had been retained to investigate them on behalf of the creditors. An adjournment for two months was applied for and granted. Mr. Lewis applied for the continuance of the allowance, as there was £350 in hand, and there ought to be 20s. in he pound. INir. James—Yes, if we upset the deed. Mr. Buchanan said as the bankrupt had a large family, he should not oppose the allowance. The case was adjourned for two months. SHERIFFS' COURT. MPORTANT CASE OF MASTER AND SERVANT,-PARKER V. HOWEY. This was an action to recover £1 for a week's wages, in ieu of notice. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, stated that defendant was a master and plaintiff a working carman. Plaintiff wont into the service of defendant, after exhibiting various testimonials, and remained in it for eight days—that is, two days of one week, and a whole week, at the expiration of which time he was discharged. Mr. Abbot, for defendant, said that plaintiff was only engaged on trial, and that he was discharged for incom petency. Defendant's town agent, Mr. Rutherford, said that he discovered plaintiff's unfitness for the situation on the first day. He could not harness the horses. In answer to Mr. Buchanan, as to why plaintiff was not dismissed at once, Mr. Rutherford said he thought of giving him another chance. Mr. Joyce thought plaintiff was entitled to recover, as defendant had no right to keep him on to suit his own con venience without reference to that of plaintiff.

A scullers' race, although by no means of an exciting character, came off yesterday on the shortened above-bridge course, between Putney-aqueduct and Hammersmith sus pension-bridge. The stake was £lO aside, and the com petitors were Wm. Watson, of the Blackfriars Aquatic Club, and Wm. Huxley, of the Howard Rowing Club, both being landsmen, and comparatively untried men. Huxley has won two matches previously, and for some unaccoant able reason, he gave his opponent three lengths start—a great advantage even from Putney to Mortlake, and much greater over so short a course—yet Huxley was the fay ourite at 6to 4. Watson won the choice of stations, the wind blowing very hard, and making the labour_ right-handed. Watson's umpire and jockey was Benjamin Oxlade ; Hux ley's, George Driver ; and Mr. Henry Salter was referee Watson started very fast, increased his advantage the farther he went, and won easily. RACE BETWEEN A WATERMAN AND A LANDSMAN. Another scullers' race took place yesterday, from Putney to Barnes, between William Jones, a landsman, of Black friars, and Robert Kilsby, a waterman's apprentice, of Bankside, and although for a trifling amount, it excited much interest and was an exceedingly good race, Mr. Green of Putney, being referee. Jones won the choice of stations, and took the lead, which he kept by about three lengths right through Hammersmith-bridge, Kilsby pursuing him very hard. At Chiswick Eyot, Jones caught a crab ; Kilsby came up, and after rowing with him a short dis • tance, took the lead at Chiswick Church, but was waited upon so closely by Jones, that he only succeeded in win ning by a length and a-half. LONDON UNITY ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed their second four-oared race yesterday, from Putney to Barnes, the prizes being silver cups for the first boat, and silver oars and rudder for the second. Blue Mr. H.

The mother, how ever, turned back, and the young lady then started off alone. A guide whom she met endeavoured, but in vain, at this point, to dissuade her from her hair-brained project, or offered to accompany her. She declined his proffered services, and after receiving some directions from him as to the way she should take, she was left to her own resources. Hour after hour passed, and night had set in, and still the lady did not return. At last the alarm was given, and several of the guides, along with some others, started up the Ben with lanterns. After hours of weary search she was at length found, about four o'clock this morning, be numbed with the intense cold and exhausted with the her rassing fatigue she had endured. At the moment the guides arrived she was fast sinking into "that sleep that knows no waking," and would in all probability have pe rished unless for their timely succour. The lady has suf fered no injury from her adventure.,-/nrerness Co:crier. TOO ,MUCH OF A GOOD THING.—A few days since a fine pig, the property of Mr. J.
