THE WAR IN AMERICA. CI:sIiEEN ST OWN, TUESDAY. The Inman steessner City of Baltimore has arrived, having left I`'sew York on the 22d of November. She brinsrs, 41 cabin and 139 steerage passengers, and 1,217,500 dols. in specis on freight. Washington advices say it is believed that the Co,sifederate President has resolved upon meeting the Emancipation Proclamation with very severe retaliatory measures. The report is thus stated:— " A report is current here, and very generally believed, that General Lee, of the rebel army, has recently addressed a formal communication to Gen. Raileck toirehing the proposed issue of an emanci pation proclamation on January 1. It will be re membered that after the exciting debates in the rob al Congress as to the propriety of retaliation the Whole matter was left to the discretion of the Pre eident of the Confederate States, with instructions to take such measures as would compel the with dra.wal of the proclamation, or bring home to the Northern troops some of the evils it threatens against the Southern people. It is stated that Gen. Lee's letter is exceedingly elaborate, and discusses the question from every point of view. The points it is said to contain are as follows : First s the unwarrantable nature of the proclama tiors, so far as the recognised measures of military warfare are concerned. The fact is pointed out that in no work on military law is the instigation of a servile war recommended, endorsed, or ever men tioned ; that, as General Balleck himself never thought of it in din:lasing the various means that might be used by 'belligerent enemies, the threat of servile war and insurrection is clearly not a proper military procedure ; that, being outside of military l aw , tilt , Southern people are justified in regarding it as Coming under the brutal and savage expedients of a barbarous people, and resenting it as such ; that the enemy that uses it does an act as unjustifiable as the poisoning of wells or of food, the maiming and murdering of prisoners, and the outraging of women. On this round it is demanded that the pro clamation be withdrawn. Second, it is further urged by General Lee that in case the proclamation is not withdrawn the Confederate military authorities, sorely against their will, hut stron g in the justice of their position, will be compelled to retaliate in the sternest manner upon all the Union prisoners that fall into their hands. It is not specified what punishment will be inflicted, but it is distinctly in timated that if through the instigation of the Fede ral troops an-y women or children are murdered by infuriated negroes an equal number of Union troops will be promptly put to death. On this matter the Confederate Government wishes the Federal Go ve-rnment to understand that it is very much in earnest, and will do even more than it threatens. Accompanying this document, and addressed to other members of the Government, it is stated that a letter from a high. member of the Confederate Go vernment is now in Washington for members of the Cabinet, argils/2g the question as to the propriety of rescindinc; the objectionable proclamation. In addi tion to, the military arguments urged by General LeP , , an argument drawn from the recent elections the North is made use of by the Confederate statesmen. If the Union shall be restored, this document urges, it will be better not to have this gulf of blood between the North and South, and even should the South succeed in their efforts there would be fewer unpleasant memories to rankle. Notwithstanding these communications, it is still assertcsd here that Mr. Lincoln is determined to ad here to the proclamation, and to carry out the Ra dical programme to the bitter end." The completeness of the knowledge of Federal movements in the Southern army is a source of bitter complaint. A communication in the World says : " The public are doubtless not surprised to hear almost daily of the perfectness of the rebel spy sys tem, and of the stupid, blundering one in force by our authorities. But the rapidity with which the enemy obtained information of General Burnside's recent movement is somewhat surprising, to say the least. It is now quite generally believed that one week from Thursday last Generals Halleck and Burnside resolved on the change of the army which has just occurred. On Friday, the succeeding day, General - Lee telegraplaed. from Gordonsville to Fre dericksburg, via Richmond, that the Federal army would reach Fredericksburg about Sunday noon ; and citizens of that place expressed surprise to the officers of our advanced guard that they did not reach there till Monday noon, for they had been anticipating them for 12 hours, The intelligence of the change was communicated to Lee from War renton by the hundreds of rebel emissaries there who heard our officers discussing the change. It is proper to add that but a single Northern news paper published the same news four days after Lee's telegram, and one day after the army had reached Fredericksburg." Reports from General Burnside's army state that General Sumner's corps had advanced to Falmouth, on the Rappahannock, opposite Fredericksburg. The march from Warrenton is thus described by the special correspondent of the Inquirer : " The Federal amry, under the immediate com mand of ix'eneral Sumner, arrived within a mile of this place about noon yesterday, having made the march from Warrenton, some 40 miles, in two days and a half. Shortly after the army got in motion yesterday morning, cannonad ing was heard some four miles in our ad vance. Parties were sent a-head to ascertain what it meant, when it was ascertained that a body of the enemy had crossed the Rappahannock as a re connoitering party, and while marching down to wards Falmouth the rebels opened on them, causing some considerable consternation in their ranks. About a dozen rounds were fired before it was ascer tained that they were firing on our own troops.' The fact of the rebels firing on their own troops proved to us that they had one or more batteries Planted on the opposite shore, for the purpose of sweeping the road as we advanced. Generals Sum ner and Couch soon came to the conclusion that these batteries must be at once silenced, so that we might have free access along the river road. The 57th New York, Lieut.-Col. Chapman commanding, and the 53d Pennsylvania, Col. Brooks, advanced as skirmishers along the Falmouth road until within a mile of the town. These two regiments were followed by the remainder of the brigade to which they belong, consisting of the 2d Delaware, Col. C o l. Pinckney , nod the Bailey ; 66th New York, 52d New York, Col. Frank—the whole brigade commanded by Col. Zook, of the 57th New York. Capt. Pettit's battery, the Ist New York Artillery, and Owens's and Tompkins's two Rhode Island batteries followed. Instead of taking the main road, as the enemy thought the Federals would, that they might have a chance to pepper them, the con,mand ing ()Meer ordered them to make a detour around Somehigh wooded hills into the valley, where a branch runs into the river, across this, and np on a very high and commanding elevation, directly in th e fea r of Falmouth, Capt. Pettit's battery was at once placed in position on the brow of this high hill, swith 'Look's b rigade directly in the rear, completely e ur.a by the natural p osition of the hill. At about baat - past 3 th e first unw as sighted and brou g ht t o be gar upon the eneray, w hi ch at once b roug h t on a re joinder. Th e first shot f roinra6 from reb e l s b urst di rect l y over our batt ery , ar our battery became very rapid and precise, whi c h had the e ff ect o f d r i v i ng the rebels from th e i r guns, thus c omplete! y silencing r e.e kurg them. Just after the rebel guns w ere silenced, two trains of cars were obs erve d leaving Fredericksburg ; our batteries opened on them, hurrying tr under a full head of steam Oar forcesal pass ed away t h ro ugh Warrenton in three c o l umns, Gen. Ha ncock on the right, Gen. French on th e centre, andor", H o ward on the left. This constitutes Gen. Couch's corps- The ninth army corps, commanded b y Gen. , and Conch 's corps, are under th e command of Gen. Sumner. The troops took the road di rect to W a rrenton Junct ion early on Saturday morn i ng, rgh• and encamped on the evening of that d'y in the vicinity of the junction ,and again started early oi l the next camp near th Sunday morning, making Spotted Tavern, in Sta ff or d . county,th ouFanquier being the county we had been passing Nothing of any great moment occurred during the march, except that it was conducted with gr eat order—few j Or no stragglers to be keen—anti wie h way the re,- pidity of the march that the citizens of the very few houses to be found were taken by surprise, not dreaming of an advance of our forces. Gen. Lee telegraphed to the citizens of Frederick burg yes terday that we were coming in two co umns. He was mistaken, as we came in three, w, , h the artil lery on the road making the fourth." A despatch to the Associated Press from the head-quarters of the army, dated 11 p.m., the 21st, says : " Gen, Patrick, Provost-Marshal-General of the Army, this morning crossed the river to Fredericksburg under a flag of truce, conveying to the civil authorities of that city the following letter, demanding its surrender : " ' To the Mayor and Common Council of Fredericksburg. " Head-quarters, Army of the Potomac, Friday, Nov. 21. " Gentlemen,—Under cover of the houses of your city, shots have been fired upon the troops of my command. Your mills and manufactories are furnishing provisions and the material for clothing for armed bodies in re bellion against the Government of the United States. Your railroads and other means of transportation are removing supplies to the depots of such troops. This con dition of things must terminate, and, by direction of General Burnside, I accordingly demand the surrender of the city into my hands, as the representative of the United States, at or before 5 o'clock this afternoon. Failing an affirmative reply to this demand by the hour indicated, 16 hours will be permitted to elapse for the removal from the city of all women and children, the sick and wounded, and aged, &c.; which period having expired, I shall proceed to shell the town. Upon obtaining possession of the city, every neces sary means will be taken to preserve order and secure the protective operation of the laws and policy of the United States' Government, " I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " E. V. SUMNER, Brevet Major-General, United States' Army, Commanding Right Grand Division.' "On arrival on the opposite side of the river, General Patrick was conveyed to the guard-house by the military, where he was detained until the reply was ready. In the meantime, his communication was conveyed to General Longstreet, whose troops are encamped a short distance out side of the city. As the demand was made upon the civil authorities, the Mayor sent an answer, which was evi dently written at the dictation of General Longstreet, to the effect that the complaints enumerated should be remedied so far as firing on our pickets and furnishing supplies enti material Gourech,late aiwy was concerned ; also that the rebels would dispute the occupying the city by the Government forces. He complained of the short space of time allowed for the removal of the women, children, and sick soldiers. The giving of any more time, as requested, is now under consideration. Permission has been given the citizens to run one train from the city, but only for the conveying of women and children." A special despatch to the New York. Tribune, dated Acquia Creek, the 21st, says : " The almost continuous rain of the last few days has rendered the condition of the roads very precarious. A large force is at work repairing the pier at this point and the railroad to Falmouth, and the transportation by rail of supplies of provisions and forage will be practicable within a very short time. The rebels have still possession of Fre dericksburg. Their force, until yesterday, was small, but it is believed to-day that they have been reinforced from Richmond. Yesterday our artillery exchanged a number of shots with theirs. The pickets are in sight of each other on the banks of the river. No attempt to cross has as yet been made by any portion of our army." The Richmond Dispatch of the 19th says ; " Once more the Yankee nation is evidently essaying an On to Richmond' march. M'Clellan, who had seen the elephant on that journey of death,' was unwilling to go about it with the haste the Abolitionists now deem indis pensable to mend their fortunes and modify their fate from utter ruin. He was ordered to go ahead; but for reasons which he has not yet made public he would not. Aboli tiondom determined at once upon his disgrace, and he was disgraced. He was not even permitted to follow Pope to the Northern Siberia and fight the Indians, but he was sent to the Jarsies' to pine in inaction and impotency. M'Ctellan having gone off, his successor at once proceeds, no doubt, to cut the capers Abolitiondom demands of him. He has been moving about with a view, no doubt, to the indispensable advance. His plans are not yet fully developed to us here; but we take it for granted that the astute military chieftains who have heretofore foiled abler men have watched him with their eagle eyes, and know by tXis pretty well what he is after. The reported withdrawal from the Rappahannock front, and the advance upin Fre dericksburg, resembles M'Clellan's spring camTaign, and it is not improbable that the pending ' On to Richmond' may be in a great degree an imitation of that, with the variation that there shall be a combined land and river attack upon our defences at Drewry's Bluff. Whatever be the plan of the new leader, who is the fourth to undertake the Herculean task, there can be little doubt that he means to endeavour to succeed, or lose his official head before Christmas. On our side the enemy cannot please us better than by going ahead with the war. It is the long and wearying hours of inaction in camp that wears out the health and spirits of the brave Confederate soldier. Let the enemy come on with his invasion, and push his columns to the attack. lie will be met, and putting our trust in God and our good cause, we will defeat him. We cannot but believe that the General who has lent himself to the Abo litionists of the North, and undertakes to pursue the war of rapine and barbarity in the spirit pleasing to them, is de stined to discomfiture and disgrace, and to follow his pre decessors to the Hades of lost reputations, and that event will be hastened just as he may choose to hasten his own movements." Advices from Cairo to the 18th report that the main body of the Federal army is still here. The Memphis Bulletin of the 18th says Bragg had ar rived at Holly Springs last Saturday with 15,000 troops; that he, Pemberton, and Price were mak ing all possible preparations to give Grant battle. A correspondent of the Savannah Republican gives the following as what he believes to have been the losses of the Confederates in the battles named:— " Our loss in killed and wounded at Fort Donelson may be roughly estimated at 3,600; at Roanoke and on the North Carolina coast, 600; at Elkhorn, 3,500; at Shiloh, 10,000; at Williamsburg, Seven Pines, and before Richmond, 20,000; in the Valley of the Shenandoah, 5,000; at Cedar Run, 1,200 ; at the second battle of Manasses, 6,000 ; at Boonston and Crampton Gaps, 4,000; at Sharpsburg, 10,000; at Corinth, 4,000 ; at Perrysville, 3,000, and 5,000 for those who have fallen at outposts, in skirmishes, &c. These figures added togetber make the enormous sum of 75,000. Of this number it would be safe to say that ono-third, or 25,000, are now in their graves, having either been killed outright or died from their wounds. Quite as many— probably more have died from sickness. To this should bo added 25,000 more for those who have been maimed and whose health has been ruined for life. Thus, our losses for 10 months of the present year may be estimated at 75,000 men, who have either perished or have been disabled. If the whole truth were known they would probably reach 100,000 by the end of the year, for the deaths from disease in the hospitals, in camp, and at home generally, exceed those in battle. For every year the war continues we must expect our casualties to be quite as heavy as they have been the present." Southern papers state that the portfolio of the Confederate War-office has been tendered to the Hon. James A. Seddon, of Virginia. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. iron the 2eu, York Shipping and Commercial List of Nov. 22.) The result of the negotiation of the Government loan, previously announced, has proved very satisfactory to all coneernod, aryl murk more an than was to be expected from the summary and hurried manner in which the project was brought before the public and carried through. The fact that the 7 3-10 per cent. Treasury notes have proved a very popular and desirable investment, and' that this was the last instalment of the amount which the Secretary was by Con gress empowered to issue, stimulated a desire on the part of the moneyed men to obtain as large an amount of them as possible. There is a growing conviction that the Secretary has determined not to use to the utmost the power invested in him by the last Congress, regarding the issuing of de mand notes, and that he has been forewarned by the great depreciation of the currency against the further issue of it, and the negotiation of the loan of 13,000,000 dole. tends to confirm the i m pression. If he has concluded to rely in future upon loans to meet the current expenditure of the Government, instead of resorting to a further issue of legal tender notes, the effect upon the money-market will be marked, and so soon as his future policy in this regard shall have been declared, the result will be mani fested in the higher rates of interest. The negotiation of the 13,000,000 dollars Loan has rendered the money-market decidedly more stringent, and rates of in terest on call loans are Ito 2 per cent. higher. The nego tiation of ether and larger loans will undoubtedly have the effect to render money as scarce as it has been plenty, and rates must advance correspondingly. At the same time, gold and the currency must more nearly approximate each other in value, though the day when a paper dollar will again be equivalent to a gold dollar cannot be expected for some considerable time hence. The impression has been prevalent in certain quarters of late, that in case Secretary Chase concluded to change his policy at all, it would be with the express determination to make war upon the banks, with the idea of legislating them nut fth ea existence,proj Government c a t n e d d substituting Ncurrency—thea National onal B for the exclusivet h e B a private t ho circula tionbank- noteswev ,the commencement of our ve tr been regarded by some people at -7 ‘17 absurdity of the idea ofetuhbilseps'artiticuli feasible this plan may have debar s Chase fr ,l o r m so so monstrous an undertaking,juncture w t eovu t e h l nd e though he twe.eazr,,seq‘rrt; wil li t sposed, which but few people will would be met with a determined o b p e p w o i s l i l t i i n o g n from the banykdiinitlienurest and others, which he hle to over 'f not inapt's.; plan for the future whir.l3. would find it exceedingl come. But it is not likely that any P y twill he made th e Bc.crot4ry way propose to ado knows prior SUN,, LONDON, THURSDAY EVE to the assembling of Congress next month. Meanwhile, judging from what had already transpired, it would seem to be pretty certain that he was determined either to cease the issuing of demand notes altogether, or, at least, to ostpone it until after Congress shall have advised him-.- when Congress, and not the Secretary, will be responsibly for any further depreciation of the currency from ex cessive issues. Moreover, the pressing necessity for the creation of money by the Government, which was uni versally acknowledged to exist at the commencement of the war, and the great difficulty of negotiating a large loan upon favourable terms, are in no wise apparent now. On the contrary, the immense revenue which will accrue to the Government from the import duties, internal taxes, &c., will go a great way towards meeting the expenses of the Government during the war, and it would be an easy matter to negotiate a loan or loans for the moderate amount which may be required over and above the aggregate re ceipts without in the least deranging the money-market or other financial matters. In general trade nothing has trans pired of unusual interest or calling for especial remark here. The trade in most articles has been moderate, and there has been very little speculation. Gold has not been subjected to any very violent fluctuations, though rates have declined about 1 per cent. The dealings have been pretty liberal both at the stock board and in the street. The bulk of busi ness has been at 30/ pm., and the market closed steady at the rates quoted below. Exchange has followed the course of gold, and drawers have reluctantly lowered their preten sions somewhat, though the reduction is not very marked. The market for dry goods continues dull, and not even the late excitement in the cotton market could stimulate an active demand. The decision of Commissioner Boutwell that clothiers must pay a tax of 3 per cent. upon the full value of the clothing they manufacture, even after the manufacturers have already paid a tax of 3 per cent., is the cause of much dissatisfaction. It has been officially stated that "the general principle of the excise law is that each particular manufacture is taxed for its value, though materials used in its production are in them selves manufactures on which a duty has been pre viously made." To this there could be no objection, and clothiers would willingly pay a tax upon the increased value of the ready-made garments over that of the cloth, but to paying 3 per cent. on the full value of the goods they demur. The money market remains stringent, and, if any thing, more so than at the beginning of the week. We continue to quote call loans at 6 to 7 per cent., but a large proportion of the business is new at the higher rate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, DEC. 3. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE POACHING AFFRAY AT ROYDON HALL. Alfred Burr Luck, 29; Thos. Stevens, 29; Geo. Allchin, 28; Joseph Obey, 48, John Clapson, 24; Stephen Burgess, 25; John Catt, 31; and Stephen Everafield, 56, who had been admitted to bail, and were all described as labourers, were charged with the manslaughter of James Gray. There was an other prisoner, nemed John Hawkes, included in the indictment, but he was admitted a witness for the Crown. There was also an indictment against the prisoners for night-poaching arising out of the same circumstances. Mr. Russell and Mr. F. I. Smith conducted the prosecution. The prisoners were defended by Mr. Ribton and Mr. Addison. This charge arose out of a very sanguinary affray that took place on the morning of Jan. 22 last upon the Roydon Hall estate, in the parish of Peckham, a few miles from this town, in a wood called the Mote Wood, and during which the deceased, who was the head keeper upon the estate, was shot, and died very shortly afterwards. A bill for wilful murder was found by the grand jury at the last summer assizes against the prisoners Luck and Eversfield, but the case was postponed ; and in con sequence of some doubts having subsequently arisen whether the last-mentioned prisoner was concerned in the affair he was admitted to bail. The other prisoners were subsequently apprehended, and the grand jury having returned a true bill against the whole of them for manslaughter it was deemed ad visable to abandon the charge of wilful murder and to proceed against the prisoners upon the lesser charge. From the statement of the learned coun sel for the prosecution it appeared that on the night of the 21st of January the prisoners (except Evers field) met at East Mailing, evidently by some pre. concerted arrangement, and they at once proceeded to the wood in question, Luck and several of the others being armed with guns, and they commenced firing at the game. The reports speedily gave notice to the keepers of what was going on, and the deceased, who had gone to bed, was aroused, and he and other five men, some of whom were underkeepers, and other watchers, proceeded to the spot where the firing appeared to be. None of the party, it appeared, had firearms, but Gray, the de ceased, was armed with a very formidable instru ment in the nature of a flail, the handle of which was about four feet long, and two shorter pieces of wood were attached to it by iron eyes, and in the hands of any person who could use it skilfully this instrument was calculated undoubtedly to cause very serious mischief, and the other men only had sticks. The keepers came up with the poaching party in a meadow close to the wood where theyhad been heard firing shortly before, and there appeared to be no doubt that six or seven of the latter were armed with guns, and a desperate struggle took place between the parties, almoat at the commence ment of which the unfortunate deceased received a gun-shot wound in the thigh, of which he died a few hours afterwards. The learned counsel said that these were the main facts of the charge against the prisoners,and he should call a person named Hawkes, who was one of the party, but who had been made a witness for the Crown, who would prove that the whole of them, except Eversfield, were present when the shot was fired, and his evidence would be mate. rially corroborated by other testimony. He next proceeded to call the attention of the jury to the law that was applicable to the case, and said that any person was justified in apprehending another who was in the act of committing an indictable of fence, and that law gave great additional powers in the case of gamekeepers, and if a person in that position was shot while in the act of endeavouring to apprehend a poacher it would be murder, suppos ing he only made use of moderate and reasonable force and violence to effect that object. If, however, there was an excuse of violence on his part the offence would still be manslaughter; and as the deceased appeared to have made use of the flail during the affray it was deemed advisable to abandon the charge of wilful murder, and proceed against the prisoners for the offence of manslaughter only. With regard to the prisoner Eversfield, he had no doubt originally been committed to take his trial upon the charge of murder, but from information that had since been received the prosecution had reason to believe that he was not one of the party, and Hawkes, the approver, stated positively that this was the case, and the police engaged in the inquiry were of the time opinion. As to him, there fore, he was ready at once to consent to offer no evidence, if such a course met with the sanction of the Court. Mr. Justice Byles said he should not interfere, and the case was consequently proceeded with against the whole of the prisoners. The principal witnesses were the keepers, and the Queen's evidence, Hawkes, the latter charging Luck with having fired the fatal shot. A great many other witnesses were then exa mined with a view to confirm the evidence that had been given by the approver Hawkes, and their tes timony went to show that on the night previous to the affray the whole of the prisoners were seen in Hawkes's company, and in the neighbourhood of Roydon Hall. It also appeared that after they had hopn taken into custody by Everest and Hulse, two superintendents of the county constabulary, who appeared to have exhibited a good deal of activity and intelligence in reference to the affair, the whole of the prisoners, upon being confronted with each other, admitted that they were present when the deceased was shot, but each denied that he was the man who fired the gun. As regarded Luck, the evidence appeared to be more conclusive against him than any of the others, for, in addition to the positive evidence of the approver, it was proved that a cap belonging to him, with blood upon it, was found near the spot where the affray took place, and a gun, the stock of which appeared to have been recently broken, was found in his possession when he was taken into custody. The learned Counsel for the prisoners, at the close of the case for the prosecution, uddressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, the line of de fence taken by both being pretty much the same — namely, that the evidence of the accomplice could not be relied upon, and that there was not sufficient c o nfirmation of his testimony to justify the jury in finding the prisoners guilty of so serious a charge. It was also urged that, even supposing the jury should be of opinion that Luck was the man that fired the gun and killed the deceased, nothing was more probable than that it was fired, during the desperate struggle he had with the keeper, by acci dent. The learned counsel also argued that, if the jury should even think that the gun was discharged wilfully, there was no evidence to show that any of the other prisoners concurred in that act, and, consequently, upon both these grounds, that they were entitled to an acquittal. Mr. Justice Ryles summed up the case with great care and minuteness, and he said that before the jury would be justified in finding the prisoners, or any of them, guilty, they must, in the first place, be satisfied that the gun was fired intentionally either by Luck or one of the others, and secondly, if they should think that this was established, they must be satisfied that all the prisoners had one common object, and that they all concurred in the discharge of the fatal shot. He at the same time observed, with regard to the latter question, that it Wan a very material fact that when there we re- ING, DEOE3II3EII 4, 1862. presented to have been a cry of " Shoot, shoot" only one gun appeared to have been discharged, although it was clear that six of the party at least were provided with guns, and might have dis charged them if they had thought proper to do soh As to the prisoner Eversfield they would, of course, he said, under any circumstances, return a verdict of not guilty, as there did not appear to be any evi dence against him, The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and were absent about 20 minutes 7 they then returned into cnurt and gave a verdict of not guilty as re garded the whole of the prisoners. The prisoners then (with the exception of Evers field, against whom the charge was abandoned, and who was ordered to be discharged from custody) pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor of being in pur suit of it ga i bmtoenurged illegally in the night time. Mr.on behalf of Luck that he had served for eleven months in the trenches before Sebastopol, and had received a Crimean medal, and left tile army with a very good character. He had also already been eight months in prison upon these charges. His Lordship said he would consider what sen tence should be pronounced. nesday morning; the 19th of November, at about seven o'clock, from information he received he went to the Greyhound public-house, in the Fulham road, kept by the prisoner Sawyer, and a cart was standing at the door. He found Mr. Sawyer at the bar l 'and he told him that a van had been there from which some sacks had been unloaded and put into his shed, and he asked him what they .contained. Hs said he did not know. Witness told him that he believed that it was malt, and that it belonged to Mr. f), Walmsley. Sawyer still denied all know ledge of it, when witness asked him to let him look into the stable. Sawyer then said, "Oh God, what shall I do? for God's sake, sergeant, don't hurt me ; don't take me out of my house, for my wife is dying." Witness told him that he must do his duty, upon which Sawyer begged to be allowed to go upstairs and see his wife,and he allowed him to dose. After wards he accompanied witness to the stable, and there found seven sacks full of malt, and the sacks were marked "H. B. Walmsley, malt -merchant." Witness drew Sawyer's attention to this, and he said they had been left there as other things had been left before, and on being asked who left them, be replied that he did not know. Upon it being remarked to him that it was strange he should take things from per sollB he did not know, he said that a man came and asked him for the key, and he let him have it, and that he put the Racks in. The seeks were then put into a cart, and, with the prisoner, were taken to the station-house. Witness then went to Lillie• bridge malthouse, belonging to the prosecu tor, and took the prisoner Fuller into custody. At this time he was speaking to Mr. V'almsley's son, who then sent Fuller to get a sample of malt. He got it, and witness took it and looked at it, and re marked to him, " This is the same sort as that which left the Greyhound this morning." He said he knew nothing about the Greyhound, when witness told him that he was going to apprehend him for stealing seven sacks of malt, the property of his employer, and cautioned him as to what he said, as it might be used against him. In reply to this he said, "I know nothing about it; I never stole any. thing in my life ; and if I am locked up it is for getting up early this morning to do my master's work." He was then taken to the station-house. Matthew Savage said he was carman to Mr. Walmsley, and the prisoner Fuller was his foreman at the Lillie-bridge malthouse. On Wednesday, the 19th of November, Fuller told him to leave seven sacks of malt at the Greyhound. He accordingly called at the Greyhound, arid there told Sawyer that he bad seven sacks of malt to leave there, and he said it was all right. He then handed out the sacks to him, and he took them into a shed or stable, and witness went away. Mr. Joseph Henry Walmsley, residing at the Elms, Acton, son of the prosecutor, said on Wednes day morning, the 19th of November, he saw seven sacks at the police-station marked like their sacks and containing malt of the same kind as theirs. The prisoner Fuller was foreman, and managed the business at Lillie-bridge, but he (witnees) gave him no directions to send malt to the Greyhound, as Sawyer was not one of their customers. Charles Henry Lovett, chief clerk at Mr. Walms ley's chief office, said generally speaking all orders for malt went from him to the foreman of the dif ferent malt-houses. The prisoner Sawyer was not a customer, and he gave no order to send malt to him, or to the Greyhound. Mr. H. Lewis addressed the jury for the prisoner Fuller; and Mr. Pater for Sawyer. About a dozen witnesses ware then called, who gave Sawyer the highest character for honour and honesty extending over a lengthened period. The Assistant-Judge carefully summed up the evidence. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty against both the prisoners. The Assistant-Judge sentenced Fuller to be kept in penal servitude for three years, and Sawyer to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. Mr. Poland said the prosecutor had taken stock of the malt for which he had paid duty to the Ex cise, and be founa a deficit in his stock to the amount of £9OO. Edmund Cunningham, 19, tailor, was indicted for stealing a watch, value £2, the property of George Haberfield, from his person. Mr. Rowden prosecuted; Mr. Pater appeared for the prisoner. The prosecutor said he lived at No. 24, Bryanston square, and on the sight of the 11th of November, about 10 o'clock he was coming out of the Oxford Stores, where he had treated some soldiers, and a dispute had arisen. As he was looking on the pri soner came up to him and struck him, which knocked him down, and he then saw the prisoner take his watch from his pocket. He distinctly saw him with the watch in his hand, which he passed to some other person and then ran Away. Witness pursued him and never lost sight of him until he was stopped. Benjamin Jeffrey, 209 C, said he saw the prisoner running, followed by the prosecutor, calling " Stop thief," in Newport-market. Witness stopped him, and the prosecutor came up and charged him with stealing his watch, which he denied. The prose cutor had been drinking but was not drunk. Mr. Pater addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner with considerable ability, and called three witnesses, who gave evidence that the prosecutor, who was in the company of some drunken doldiers who were beating the people with their belts, was really the aggressor, and that the prisoner was not the man who robbed the prosecutor. They were members of the Society of the Friends of Labour, held in Crown-street, St. Giles's, and were just leaving the place when they accidentally became witness of the whole transaction, but had no know ledge whatever of the prisoner. The Assistant-Judge summed up the evidence. The jury, after consulting for some time in the box, retired to consider their verdict, and on their return into court said they found the prisoner guilty. Watts, police-constable, proved that the prisoner was sentenced to penal servitude on the 6th of Sep tember, 1858. Police-sergeant Walter Holmes, 3 F, said he had the prisoner in custody in 1854, when he was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment. He again had him in custody on the 14th of June, 1856, when he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. He also had him in custody when he was sentenced in this Court to penal servitude for four years. Since his return home from penal servitude he had been tried at the Old Bailey for robbery, with violence, but was acquitted. His companion was sentenced to imprisonment for six months. Although he had only been nine :months liberated on a ticket-of leave, he had been tried and sentenced to two months' imprisonment for assault. Another police-constable proved two other con victions, and said since he had received his ticket of-leave he had associated with the worst characters in the Seven-dials, and had assaulted two con stables, for which he was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. the Assistant-Judge said it would be a complete waste of time to defer passing sentence upon the prisoner, as he had already been sentenced to penal servitude for four years, and liberated on a ticket-of-leave. He had now only power to sentence him to a similar sentence as that which he had be fore received, however insufficient that sentence might be, which was penal servitude. It was really lament 1.)le to reflect upon that persons were to be met in the public streets, knocked down, and robbed, and he really felt surprised that the members of a benevolent society could be found to come forward to aid the prisoner and to prevent justice being done him. In such cases as these it was the duty of the court to act with great severity, and the sentence upon the prisoner was that he be kept in penal ser vitude for the term of ten years. As soon as sentence was pronounced the assumed meekness of the prisoner left him, he made use of some of the foulest expressions, and stooping, got from his right foot a heavy nailed boot, intending, n , ) doubt, to throw it at the learned Judge, but the deputy-governor of the House of Detention (Mr. Sims) having some knowledge of the character of this prisoner, had placed two officers in the dock, who immediately seized him, and prevented him from doing any mischief. He struggled and kicked very vi,lently, and it took three powerful officers to force him to the cells below. (Before Mr. Payne.) Mary Ann Clark, 18, and Elizabeth Rogers, 30, were indicted for stealing the sum of £2 16s. 3d., the moneys of Annie Tennant, from her person. Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted; Mr. Metcalfe ap peared for Clark and Mr. Dickie for Rogers. The prosecutrix, a single woman, said she got into a Waterloo omnibus, at Camden Town, on November 17, and soon afterwards the prisoners got in, one of them sitting next to her and the other opposite. The two prisoners got out in Albany-street, and walked back towards the York and Albany. When the omnibus got to the Colosseum she saw her purse lying empty on her dress. She called out that she had lost her money, when the prisoners were stopped and brought buck to the omnibus, and they were given into custody. They were put into the omni bus and driven to the police-station. John Allehing, police-constable 77 S, said he was at the police-station in Albany -street on the night in question, and on the conductor coming to him he went to the omnibus and saw the prosecutrix and the two prisoners. He searched the omnibus and found two sovereigns, a florin, a half-crown, and one postage stamp, at the bottom of the omnibus. Sarah Robinson, searcher at the Albany-street station, said she searched the prisoners, and found on Clark a sovereign, half sovereign, two shillings, sixpence, fourpenny piece, three halfpence, ana a penknife. On Rog ers s h e f oun d t h ree hal f- cro wns, florin, th ree sh i llings, eight sixpences, a three p e nny piece, and four postage stamps. Mr, Metcalfe and Mr. Dickie having addr"664 the jury for the prisoners, they were both found guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced them to be kept to hard labour for 15 months. Henry Williams, 18, and William Patterson, 18, were Indicted for stealing a coat, the property of Sarah Woods. The two prisoners and another man were near the hcuso of the prosecutrix in Homer-street, and one, who succeeded in making his escape, took the coat from the shop door and ran away with it. The other prisoners were taken into custody. Patterson woe acquitted, and Williams was found guilty. Several previous convictions were proved against Williams, and Mr. Payne sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude for four years. THE CakTHAM MURDER. Upon the application:of Mr. Ribton, who appeared for the prisoner, the trial of Robert Alexander Bur ton for the murder of a lad at Chatham was post poned to the summer assizes, when it is understood that the defence of insanity will be set up. OXFORD CatCUIT.—STAFFORD, DEC. 3. THE SEDGLEY 3kIVE.DER. Jesse Watts, William Henshaw, Hannah Simms, and Mary Downing were indicted for the wilful murder of Henry Swinnerton, on the 4th of No vember last, at Sedgley. Mr. Boughey and Mr. Motteram prosecuted; Mr. Brindly defended Henshaw. The other pri soners were unrepresented by counsel; and Mr. Kenealey was instructed by the judge to watch the case in their behalf. It appears that oe the 4th November the de ceased was out drinking at several pubic-houses. At one of these public-houses, the Three Horse shoes, he treated the female prisoners to drink, and he was there joined by the two male prisoners. He accompanied one of the female prisoners out of the house, and was shortly afterwards followed by the other prisoners, who beat him with a life preserver and robbed him, and from the effect of the injuries rf ceived he died on the 10th November, in a fright ful state of suffering. Isaac Kelsall was the first witness called. He deposed that he was drinking with the deceased on the night of the murder, the 4th of November, at the Anchor public-house. The prisoners were there, and were treated to drink by the deceased. They then went to the Three Horse shoes pubdc house, Deepfields, :where tho prisoners followed them, and were there treated to drink by the de ceased, and he took out 14s. or 15s. to pay for what had been drunk. Deceased and the prisoner Simms then went out together. Watts, Henshaw, and Downing followed them almost immediately. Wit ness followed them in the direction of Blue Button Bridge. When near the bridge he saw deceased with his jacket off lying on his back and bleeding from the mouth. Watts and Downing were by his side, and Henshaw and Simms were about 1U yards off. When they saw witness Henshaw and Simms ran away. Deceased was calling for the police. Witness helped him up and put his clothes on. %%ratts and Downing were standing on either side, and deceased said one of them had robbed him of 14s. or 155., and he said he would have his money before he went. When the female prisoners ran away Watts called after them, and said, " What have you got to run away for ?—let us throw him into the cut." The prisoner Watts then struck deceased and knocked him down over some rails into the field, and was about to strike him again when witness prevented him. Watts and Downing then went towards Bilston, and deceased followed them, and said he would have his money. Witness then went back to the Three Horse Shoes public-house alone. Wm. Lees deposed to being at the Three Horse shoes on the night of the murder, and seeing pri soners and deceased there. On his way home about half-past 12 he m e t Downing in High-street, Bil ston, coming from the direction of Deepfields. He spoke to her, and asked her if she had just come home, and she replied " Yes, she had come along the cut side, and had had a good fight. You saw the man in the room with us ?" Witness said " Yes," and she continued, "Re wanted to go with the other girl that was with me, and said she had robbed him, and he wanted his money, and just as they began to fight I gave him one or two good uns. Jesse knocked him over the rail, and we had to run, for they had gone for the police." While they were talking Henshaw and Simms came up, and witness left them all together. In a minute or two after witness heard a whistle, and Downing shouted " earn. eight. I know that's Jesse." Witness then saw Watts and another man come along and go in the same direction as the other three prisoners. Superintendent M'Cre, of Bilston, stated that deceased died on Nov. 10. On that day he charged all the prisoners with the murder. Henshaw said, "I was not near them when fighting." 'Yatts said, " When I got up he wanted to fight the old man, and be struck me several times. And I then hit him, and he tumbled over the rails on the canal bank, and we had a round, and he then put on his clothes, and came with us towards Bilston, and went into an iron works. H e was qu it e we ll w h en he left us." Downing said, "We should not have gone near them only We heard the other girl call out murder."' Was present when Watts and Henshaw were placed at the foot of deceased's bed.

The jury found all the prisoners guilty of man slaughter. Sentence deferred. NEWCASTLE ASSIZES. THE HIGH CRANE MURDER. On Tuesday John Dixon and Thomas Miller were tried before Air. Justi ce K ea ti ng, on t h e charge of having wilfully murdered Patrick Rogers, on the Quayside of Newcastle, on the 16th of August last. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. It appeared that the deceased, an eccentric old man, well known in Newcastle, had gone into a public convenience whe re th e pr i soners an d others were. The prisoners began teasing the poor old man ; one of them set fire to his hair with a lighted lucifer-match, and, Proceeding from one act of cruelty to another, they took him up in their arms and pitched him down the hole into the river which ran below, where he Was drowned. The strange thing was, that though other persons were present no one offered to interfere. There was some evidence that the prisoners did not mean the old man's death; and the jury, taking a lenient view of the case, in which the judge said he concurred, returned a verdict of manslaughter. The prisoners were both sentencEd to penal ser vitude for 10 years. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dec. 3. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) Theresa Vaughan, 29, was indicted for stealing two shoes, value ls. Bd., the property of J. Small wood. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mrs. Howe, warder of the House of Correction at Westminster, stated that when the prisoner was committed upon this charge she sent a message from the police-court to her, which was, that it she dared when she was tried on this charge to prove the former convictions against her she would stab her to the heart. The list of her previous convic tions was as follows;—Four months for larceny at Guildhall, Westminster, July 14, 1856 ; six months at Clerkenwell Police-court, July 16, 1857, and one month additional for resisting the officers; 14 days from Marylebone, March 16, 1858; seven days from Marlborough-street, June 30, 1859 ; seven drys from the same court, August 22, 1859 ; one month from the same court, June 15, 1858; four months from the same court, Nov. 11, 1861; and three months from the same court, Aug. 22, 1862. The Assistant-J u d ge said he would at any rate prevent the prisoner from carrying out her threat against Mrs. Ilowe for some time to come, and he sentenced her to Penal serv it u d e f or f our years . IN hen the pri soner left the dock for the cells be low she evidently intended to make a rush at the female warder, but a number of policemen formed a line and frustrated her intention. When she got below she began to sing, dance, and shout, which she kept up until s h e was taken away in the van. Andrew Fuller, 42, and Willi am S aw yer, 42, were severally indicted --Andrew Fuller, for stealing 7 sacks of malt, va l ue £ l2, the property of H enry B. Walmsley, his master, and William Sawyer , for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Poland prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh appeared for Fuller, and Mr. Pater for Sawyer. George Brown, police-sergeant 18 T, acid on Wed- ~---_ FOLIC& INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 3. MANSION - HOUSE. --- James Crowther and Samuel Goodburn were placed at the bar, in answer to their recognisances, to undergo a further exami nation upon a charge of conspiring together in ob taining, by means of false pretences, various sums of money, belonging to their employers, Messrs. Laing and Merridew, of Mincing-lane, colonial brokers. Mr. Wontner again appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Messrs. Hiliyer and Fenwick, appeared for Crowther; and Mr. Lewis, jun., attended on behalf of Goodburn. The examination lasted nearly five hours, and Mr. Sleigh intimated that his cross-examination was likely to be rather long, and the case was again adjourned, the defendants being admitted to bail as before. CLERKENWELL—M. Peter Meriggia, the licensed keeper of a refreshment house, at 101, High street, Islington, was summoned at the instance of Inspector Judge, N division, for unlawfully and knowi❑gly permitting and suffering disorderly con duct in his house on the 13th ult. Mr. Sohn Wakeling attended for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Police-constable William Scott, 134 N, said—On the 13th of last month, about 1 o'clock in the morn ing, I was on duty in High-street, near the Angel, at Islington. I saw a crowd of persons standing in front of the defendant's house. There was a very great disturbance inside. I went in and in a small room adjoining the shop I found nine prostitutes. Three of them were stripped with their bonnets and shawls off, and two were fighting and making a great uproar. Their language was most obscene and disgusting. There were two more prostitutes on the stairs. Altogether I saw 17 prostitutes in the house, and the whole of them were noisy. I saw two of the defendant's servants there, one of them being in the room in which the fight was taking place, but they took no notice, and one of them said he could not help it. Cross-examined by Mr. Wakeling—l was not asked to turn the women out. One of the defen dant's servants was not doing his best to eject the women from the shop. I did not see that either of the prostitutes was taking refreshment. Police-constable Redstall, 381 N, confirmed the previous witness's statement, and, in cross-examina tion, said that he did not hear anyone ask the police to turn the women out of the shop. Mr.Wakeling said the defendant was not licensed to sell wine, and he hardly thought that the legis lature intended this act to apply to ice shops. He should call witnesses to show that the women rushei into the shop and commenced fighting, and that the police refused to interfere when asked to turn them out. Two of the defendant's servants having corrobo rated Mr. Wakeling's statement, Mr. Barker said there could be no doubt but that ice shops came within the meaning of the act, and ordered the defendant to pay the costs and be more careful in future. William Hill, a well dressed young man, resid ing at 19, Windsor-terrace, City-road, was charged before Mr. Barker with robbery, and with embez zling several sums of money belonging to his em ployer, Mr. F. Mordan, gold pen and pencil manu facturer, of 326, City-road. The prisoner had been in the employ of the pro secutor as clerk and traveller, at a liberal salary. His duty was to account for all money he received on. the same day. One or two cases of embezzle ment to a small amount coming under the notice of the prosecutor, be spoke to the prisoner on the sub ject, and placing confidence in his assurance that he (prisoner) had disclosed all his defalcations, he (the prosecutor) did not give him into custody, but dis charged him with a caution. From what after wards came to the knowledge of Mr. Mordan, he placed the matter in the hands of Police-sergeant Evans, 22 G, and the prisoner was apprehended on some fresh charges. At the police-station the pri soner said ha woe guilty, and remarked that had time been given him he might probably have paid the prosecutor the money. Since the prisoner had been in custody he had written to the prosecutor, and told him of two or three cases in which he had embezzled money. Police-sergeant Evans asked for a remand, as some material witnesses were not in attendance. The prisoner said he was guilty, but hoped the magistrate would admit him to bail. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next, and granted summonses against the absent witnesses. He said he would take bail—two sure ties in the sum of £6O each, and the prisoner in £lOO. The prisoner was locked up in default. WORSHIP-STREET.—Mark Archer and Wm. Haycock, young men unfavourably known to the police, and against the latter of whom a conviction was stated to be recorded, were charged as follows : Mr. E. Morley, resident at Bethnal-green, said — About 12 o'clock last night, I and three friends left the Vicar of Wakefield public-house, Suffolk-street, Bethnal-green ; we were perfectly sober, and walked away in pairs, Mr. Higgs and myself being about 100 yards in advance. Suddenly I heard a cry for help and of "police." We ran back and found both prisoners confronting my other friends, Archer strik ing one of them with a short stick. I instantly rushed up and endeavoured to get hold of him, but he dealt me a heavy blow on the head with the weapon which caused me to stagger against the wall. I bled freely from the wound, and was laid upon a door-step, where I became insensible. Sub sequently I was taken to the station-house, wher I saw the prisoners and preferred a charge against them. I still feel very weak. Archer struck Mr. Bull on the head. lam positive as to the prisoner's identity. Neither of them spoke a word during the assault. Mr. G. Bull, 153, Bethnal-green, corroborated the last witness, and added, at the instant that the prisoner struck Mr. Morley, Haycock was attack ing my companion—a Mr. Fulliford. I ran a short distance, but, hearing my name called, returned and found that the assailants had gone. I and Fulliford then went in pursuit, calling aloud for the police. We espied the prisoners near the Lamb public-house, not a great distance off, Archer still having a stick in his hand. I told my friend not to approach, but a police-constable came up at the same instant, and directly they saw him one of them said, pointing to us, " We will give these persons in charge for assaulting us." We explained what had occurred, and the prisoners were taken into custody. Mr. Higgs gave a precisely similar version of the outrage, and Mr. Frank Fulliford described the at tack upon himself thus :-1 and Mr. Bull had lin gered behind, and while in conversation and just turning into Three Colts-lane, a hand grasped my throat. At the same moment I was seized by the collar of my coat, and an effort was made to throw me, but I got away and shouted for help. The pri soner Haycock is the mar who attacked me. Mr. Morley and Mr. Higgs came to our assistance. I distinctly saw Archer assault with a stick Mr. Morley and Mr. Bull. When the prisoners ran off I followed. Archer turned short round upon me with the uplifted stick and said, " if you don't stand back I'll hit you on the head with this." Subse quently we found them near the Lamb, as stated. Feist, 163 K—l heard loud cries for the police, ran to the spot, and saw all the party. I took from Archer's hand this stick (a knobbed oak or grape vine.) Another constable came up, and the prisoners were taken to the station house. Mr. J. Ralph, surgeon, 237, Bethnal-green road —I was sent for to the station house, where I saw Mr. Morley, in a weak state from loss of blood pro ceeding from an incised wound on the scalp. On the head of Mr. Bull was a swelling as large as an egg. but not any wound. Thestick produced would inflict such injuries. The prisoners put some questions to the w itnesses that were not pertinent to the charge against them, but offered no defence. ascertaining lNIr.
