S.PORTLVG NOTES. PAST AND COMING EVENTS. The lull which precedes the St. Leger storm has corn mecced. The meetings last week were marked by little im portance, but backers of horses are not likely to forget for some time the dressing which they received at Egbam. They could not go right, and the fielders were quite up roarious at the turn which fortune had taken in their favour. The most Interesting gathering of the week was that which was brought to a conclusion yesterday at Stockton, for the fields were large and the two-year-old races most important. The announced sale of Lord Derby's horses has created a deep sensation, but it is yet doubtful whether his lordship has determined to retire permanently f ro m the tor whether he be about to dispose of a" draft" from his stable, with the intention of infusing some new blood into his stud. The sporting world can ill afford to lose a patron possessing the position and influenc e of Lord Derby, and genuine turfites regret the secession of a nobleman whose name has been long connected with the National Pastime of the people of this country. Lord Derby's turf career has not been marked by great achievements. He has yet won no Derby, and if our memory serves us aright no St. Leger has fallea to his share. Many great two-yr-old races, and valuable produce stakes, have been carried cff by horses sporting his colours, and with Longbow, the sire of Toxo philiTe, be won many important engagements, including the Great Yorkshire Stakes. Longbow was a gran d-l o oking horse, and was p er haps the fastest ‘ miler" that ever ran on an English race-course. His greatest coup of late years was winning the Two Thou sand with Fazzoletto, who, however, failed to follow up that achievement at Epsom. Lord Derby's disappointments have been many and vexatious, and how Dervish, Boiardo, Acro bat, and others deceived him must be still fresh in the memory of my readers. John Scott shared the chagrin of defeat with his abbe employer, for whom be has long striven to win a Derby, and to that end has exhausted the mysteries of his art in preparing and managing the horses under his charge. This year his hopes seemed about to be realised, but he was doomed to see the black jacket and white cap no nearer than second, and the blue riband snatched from him by an animal whom he certainly had, prior to the race, no just cause to regard with uneasiness. If Lord Derby be about to finish his racing career, he will, perhaps, bring it to a close with a St. Leger vic tory. The pressing cares of office, the demands which the business of the State make upan bis time'and : attention, may be the main causes for the retirement of Lord Derby from the turf. The late Lord George Bentinck, than whom a more ardent lover of horse-racing did not exist, found an active political life incompatible with an engagement in turf pursuits. Long may it be, however, before the name of Lord Derby, as an owner of horses, be erased from the calendar. The meetings which are appointed to take place next week will be of minor importance, and the great event of the next six days will be the publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. An attempt which, according to the programme, w only be attended with a mitigated success, has been made to get up a military meeting at Ascot. The scheme, I be lieve, originated with the officers encamped at Aldershot ; but they evidently lacked the material, in the shape of horse flesh, to put their plans into successful execution. The entries are meagre, but as the South-Western Railway Com pany have announced special trains, at reasonable fares, many people may be induced to have a pleasant " out " on Monday. The attractions at Lichfield will be powerful enough to draw the holiday folk of the neighbourhood to the course, and the racing will doubtless command the attention of many professional turfites. Indeed, the meeting has been quite resuscitated by Mr. J. Sheldon, jun. Should old Fisherman go to the post for the Staffordshire Stakes, I should, despite his steadying weight of 9st. 111 b., be inclined to trust him. My next " fancy" is for the colt by the Flying Dutchman out of Gala. Thornhill may win the Copeland, and the Tamworth Plate will be, perhaps, placed to the list of " wins " belonging to either Chantress or My Niece. For the Shenstone Plate I shall stand upon Old Tom. The Dutchman's Daughter seems to me to be as trustworthy as anything amongst the nominations for the Nursery Handi cap. On the gold Cup it would be absurd at present to ex press an opinion. The Newmarket trainers use Yarmouth as a holiday, and they are satisfied if the meeting be only "jolly." Margery Daw may secure the Nursery, Vulcan or Tame Deer the Norfolk and Suffolk Handicap, and Chance the Borough Members'. The list for Derby is at least respectable, and the meeting will be well supported. Odd Trick and Cockatoo ought to be as close together in the race as they are in the list of entries for the Tradesmen's Plate. Either Indifference or Volcano will show in the first place for the Chesterfield Stakes; for the Members' Plate, Yellow Rose and Helia are the most trustworthy. Lady Kingston, with all her weight, may pull through for the Juvenile Stakes. A FRESH MAN. STOCKTON RAC ES.-Tir URSDAY.

A good rowing regatta came off yesterday at Staines; but owing to the lateness in the season at which the fixture was made was not so good as what we have seen there, although we cannot but commend the committee for their praise worthy exertions in re-establishing the meeting after it bad been abolished for some years. There were 11 races in all on the card, but we only give those absolutely of impor tance. The attendance was very great, and the lawn by the London Stone was covered with carriages containing fashion ables, in addition to an array of beauty and fashion which lined the banks, and had their ears regaled with music freaa the 15th Hussars' band, as their eyes were with the racing. The prizes were silver cups. SENIOR SCULLERS' RACE. Mr. L. C. Poster Mr. St. Vincent Jervis (Red and White) 0 Mr. H. C.

THE GALWAY PACKET STATION. Since this scheme was last referred t) in these columns a couple of additional ocean steamers have been purchased by Mr. Lever, and it is in contemplation to form a strong company, with an extensive capital, for the purpose of more efficiently working the project. The direc , tors will, of course, be principally Englishmen ; but there is every reason to hope that several leading Irish merchants will take a prominent part in its busi ness. When the company is in working order the plan of operations stated to have been determined upon is to have on the line between Galway and New York 10 first-class ocean steamers, of the highest speed and greatest capacity that can be procured, and at least eight others, to be used as coasters and feeders to the main line, from the ports of Antwerp, Havre, Southampton, Plymouth, London, Liver— pool, Bristol, and GlaQgow, touching likewise at different points upon the Irish coast which may be considered most expedient for the collection of goods and passengers. The vessels at present upon the line will continue to run until November, when larger steamers will take their place, as it is felt that though abundantly qualified for the require merits of a summer passage, they are hardly of dimensions and power sufficient to contend with the adverse circum stances which must be looked forward to after that date. The steamers will be the best and finest that can be procured for money ; and herein lies the only difficulty, as fast vessels are almost beyond their price, more especially when it is known that a company such as this is in the market. They will, however, be purchased or built, and by next spring it is anticipated that the " Great North Atlantic Steam-ship Company" will be in a position to start a packet weekly be tween this country and America ; in winter, of course, such a frequent service will not be necessary. Such of the pre sent vessels as are not considered up to the mark will fall into the second position ; but it may be mentioned that great results are expected from the Indian Empire when she makes her reappearance on the line, as she is at present undergoing very heavy repairs, and is to be lengthened to the extent of 30 feet. The Prince Albert is said to have suffered in point of speed upon her voyage by not waiting to have the screw properly adjusted; this, however, was owing to the desire of Mr. Lever that the vessels should adhere as closely as possible to the time at which they were advertised to start. Should these designs be successfully carried out, Galway may indeed expect an altered state of fortunes, and already in anticipation property is looking up in that quarter. With a view to aff.ird increased accommo dation to their passengers, as well as greater attraction to their line, Messrs. Lever and Co. hare it in contemplation to open about 2,000 booking offices in different quarters, which shall all be in correspondence with the Bank of Ire land, so that a person starting from Galway need not en cumber himself with money, but may draw it upon his arrival at Chicago, or any other important locality to which he may be bound. Mr. Lever's scheme, it will be observed, is really assuming gigantic proportions. Of its success now there can be no reasonable doubt entertained, and as a proof of this it may he mentioned that when the Pacific started on Tuesday evening she had to leave behind her a large quantity of freight, more having been sent for shipment in her than she could carry. Her passengers amounted, in round numbers, to 100, of whom 80 were from Belfast alone, and her cargo was chiefly composed of linens and muslins from Belfast, cotton fabrics from Manchester, and tweeds and shawls from Glasgow and Manchester. She also had on board a large quantity of hard goods, &c. As the Pacific steamed out of Galway Bay Mr. Lever and a number of his friends who accompanied her, along with the first-class passengers, sat down to a substantial dinner, at which his health was drunk, when he replied as f.,llows :—" Why should they not continue to promote that increasing intercourse with a country which their fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters had made the home of their choice and the land of their adoption. (Cheers.) The im portance of this western route was highly appreciated by the Governments on both sides of the Atlantic, and the acknowledged advantages which it presented would un doubtedly secure the transmission of the mails, not onl y from the United States and British America, but through t he Hudson's Bay territory to Vancouver's Island and the gold regions on the Pacific ocean. (Hear and cheers.) Ireland was every day becoming more important, and it only required that all classes of her people should give this company the active support and co-operation which he thought it was entitled to expect ; be especially relied upon the liberal and active co-operation of the several railway interests of Ireland. (Hear.) He might add, with respect to the present Government, that they appreciate this line, and view with confidence the results that must necessarily follow from the establishment of this great western packet sta tion; and from the observations made by his Excellency at Derry it was quite evident the Government would give it all the aid which its intrinsic merits entitled it to demand. (Cheers.) And in conclusion permit me (said Mr. Lever) to add that it is not generally known in Europe that the port of Galway possesses so many unrivalled natural advantages as a L we e a r t p e o r oi. npacket station for the rapid transmission of mails and passengers, being 360 miles nearer to Ilalifax than Liverpo o l. (Hear, hear.) I t has also direct railway com munication with Dublin in three hours, it possesses iron foundries where steam machinery can be repaired—its numerous warehouses are capable of being made the Ame raicecaonm grainni oda t depot of the United Kingdom; and its hotel is equal to any in London—the saving in insurance premiums on ships and cargoes of 25 per cent., as the thousand channelsand lives a more than n s navigation are avoided, in which o p O n O r t ships e a a r t e u l r o e s a t n a n n n n n u a a n i t l e y d , presenting one of the most iin d Amongst the other os a s n es d ses are the with this undertaking.

Kind friends, farewell— adieu each friendly spot, Farewell ycur beauteous mountains, shores, and bays. Happy the hour—and ne'er may be forgot— When these flrst broke upon our wondering gaze! Thee from our Italy far realms remove, Thou seem'st to us some lonely flow'r on earth, Radient with life, and warmth, and love, Albeit the cold waves may have given thee birth. Chorus—Hail to thee, Erin, &C. SOLO. Glad—Oh, how glad, is still the hour we meet ! Sad—Oh, how sad the hour we needs must part The fond farewell I fain would oft repeat— The word is lost 'mid sighs that rend my heart And oft, when distant seas between us roll, Back to this loved land will my thoughts return, Regretful memory fill my longing soul, And on my eyelids the mute tear-drop burn! My lips, when far, will falter forth—" Farewell," Back by the breeze its echo will be given ; The waves that part us back my thoughts will tell, As angels waft the unspoke prayer to Heaven ! Chorus—Hail to thee, Erin, &c. THE POTATO BLIGHT. The following distressing reference to the reappearance of this virulent disease in the potato appears in the Cork Exa inzper :—A correspondent in whom we have most implicit reliance informs us that a virulent rot has appeared in the potato crop all along the coast from Kinsale harbour west ward to Clonakilty. The stalks had continued green to within a few days ago, the yield had been most abundant, and the quality excellent beyond that of the crop of ev er y year since 1844. Nevertheless, our informant states, the de struction has been so enormous as to amount in some in stances to three-fourths of the whole. We must add, how ever, that from almost every other quarter the accounts we receive are decidedly of the most favourable character. But the south and west coast have been always the most suscep tible to the influences of the disease. ADDRESS TO CARDINAL WISEMAN. An address was presented to Cardinal Wiseman by the Town Commissioners of Ballinasloe. The Cardinl ex pressed his delight at the reception he had met with, and the erection of their present beautiful church. It was one worthy of the worship of God, whose special providence would never be removed from them. It might be that when they had completed the erection of the tower and steeple be would have the gratification of meeting them again. 319n signor Talbot said—" Circumstances prevented my coming to Ireland for many years. I deeply regret that I did not come among you before this. When I see the feeling of faith, of devotion, of piety, of religion, which you testify in every state—when I see the devotion that you pay the suc cessor of St. Peter, the vicar of Jesus Christ, I feel more deeply still that regret at my long absence from among you. I accept the office imposed upon me by his Eminence with gratitude. When I return to the Holy Sec, to the Eternal Vatican, and kneel at the foot of the Ho l y Pontiff, I will tell him what I have here seen—of the faith and devotion mani fested towards him, fully as great as that evinced for him in his own dominions. I accompanied his Heliness on his recent visit through his own dominions, and there indeed did I see the multitudes come and kneel at his holy feet, and kiss the hem of his garment; but their devotion was for himself— they had him before them ; but here it is in Ms represeuta tire that he is honoured." EXCITEMENT IN DUN3IANWAY. The Cork Constitution says :—" This town has been the scene of most unusual excitement for the last few days, in consequence of a bowling match which was to take place between two persons—a Protestant and a Roman Catholic. The fact probably of their being of different belief caused the excitement to be much more than otherwise. The match came off on Monday, but was not finished when the day closed. Thousands were collected to witness it, and afterwards a feeling was manifested not at all creditable to the actors. One of the parties—the Roman Catholic—was taken on the shoulders of some men and paraded through the town till a late hour last night, followed by immense crowds, cheering tremendously and waving green boughs, and shouting occa.ionally, ' Here's a Papist,' Hurrah for a Papist,' and such other expressions. However, the Pro testant party showed more good sense than to notice it. The constabulary were all under arms, and patrolled the streets until the excitement was somewhat subdued. On Tuesday the feeling again got vent, and while I write the shouting through the streets is most annoying. It is but right to mention that none of the respectable Roman Catholic inhabitants connected themselves with the affair." , DR. PALL CULLEN AND THE POOR-LAW C031311S- SIONERS. This overbearing eccleiastic has just been foiled in an attempt to usurp the authority of the Poor Law Commis sioners. To a certain extent, it is true, he has gained his point; but the principle he sought to establish in his favour has not been admitted. The following correspondence will explain the matter : "55, Eccles-street, Aug. 19, 1858. "Gentlemen,—Having received and accepted the resig nation of the Rev. Mr. O'Farrelly, late chaplain of the South Dublin Workhouse, I have given to the Rev. L. C. Prideaux Fox, of Golden Bridge, the necessary spiritual faculties to discharge the duties of that office, now vacant, and beg that you will have the necessary arrangements made with the board of guardians for carrying the Rev. Mr. Fox's appointment into effect.—l have, 3z.e., " t PAUL CULLEN, Archbishop. " To the Commissioners of the Poor Law." " Poor Law Commission Office, Dublin, Aug. ?5, 1858. " Most Reverend Sir, —The Commissioners for Adminis tering the Laws for the Relief of the Poor in Ireland ac knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., naming the Rev. L. C.

" By the 49th section of the Irish Poor-law Act, a pre ference must be given in such cases to some Eowan Catholic clergyman, acting as such within the parish in which the workhouse stands ' and in the present case the Roman Catholic clergymen of the parish of St. James, in the city of Dublin, are entitled to the preference. "The commissioners have, however, received from the Rev. E. Kennedy, parish priest of St. James's, a statement to the effect that it is not practicable for one of the parochial clergymen to undertake the office of Roman Catholic chaplain. " Under these circumstances the commissioners find them selves at liberty to adopt your recommendation of the Rev. Mr. Fox, and will cause the necessary steps to he taken for his appointment, learning from him that be is willing to accept the office.—By order of the commissioners. " B. BANKS, Chief Clerk.

Mr. Allen, for the assignees, said there was no opposition. It was a very poor estate. Mr. Canna's, the official assignee, said the assets were not sufficient to pay the expenses. His Honour passed the bankrupt, reserving all questions of conduct for the certificate meeting. The Court allowed Mr. Cooper's etarges for preparing the balance-sheet. IN RE UNDERWOOD. This was a meeting for the proof of debts and appointment of trade assignees, under the bankruptcy of William Un derwood, of Gracechurch- street, tea dealer.

The bankrupt was a young man, who had been placed in partner ship with a wine merchant by his father. In twelve motlibs £l,OOO introduced into the iirtn had die- appeared, aed he became involved in difficulties through the partnership. He then set up on his own account, in White Hart-court, but made bad debts, and although having private resources his expenditure ex ceeded the profits, and he was unsuccessful, partly from the high price of wine, and partly from trade falling off. His Honour—What is a case of wine? . Mr. ICIosA dozen, your honour. (Laughter.) The Commissioner said be could not grant more than a common certificate. Young men should not begin by set ting up for themselves, but by learning a business. Common certificate accordingly. IN RE SKEEN. This was the examination meeting of Edward Allan Skeen, timber merchant, of No. 24, Allen-street, Spitalfields. The following is a copy of the preliminary statement of Messrs. Clarke and Solly, of Moorgate-street : Dr. : To creditors, £4,890 ; liabilities on bills payable, £4,808 ; liabilities on bills receivable, £4,719, of which £3,059 are expected to rank against the estate.

In answer to the Court, Mr. Clarke stated that six weeks' adjournment was required, and his honour therefore ad journed the matter to 2:3d October. Mr. Clarke also asked for a continuance of the allowance of £2 10s. per week. The Commissioner said it was rather a long time to con- tinue it for. Mr. Clarke remarked that between £6OO and £7OO had already been received, and the bankrupt had eight children and a sister, who attended to them, to support. Mr. Shepheard, for the assignees, not objecting to the application, it was granted. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.—Ana. 27. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE VALUE OF AN I 0 U. - WELLER AND ANOTHER V. 31‘MILLEN. Mr. Nash, for the plaintiffs, stated that they were execu tors to a person named Squires, amongst whose effects were found an I 0 U for 10st, signed by defendant. Upon being applied to for the money, defendant averred that he had paid the debt, but as no account could be found in plaintiffs' books, or any endorsement on the back of the I 0 U, plaintiffs proceeded for the amount. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchanan's, of Basinghall-street) stated that from time to time various sums had been paid by defendant to the deceased, and that in the presence of wit nesses. Accordingly be called several witnesses, who swore to the amount having been paid. Mr. Nash said he would consent to a nonsuit. Mr. Perry could not understand how Mr. Nash could move fora nonsuit in the face of such evidence, and his Honour found for defendant. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN CIVIL LAW-LEWIN V. EMERSON. In this case, plaintiff, a cook, sought to recover the sum of £5 108. money lent to defendant's wife. Mr. Perry, fur defendant, examined plaintiff at consider able length as to the fact of the money having been lent with defendant's knowledge. Plaintiff said that Mr. Emer son was well aware that the money had been lent for an oc casion, and said, "I think it's about 505." Defendant's wife had left him. Mr. Perry said defendant allowed his wife •245. per week, and she had no reason to borrow the money. If plaintiff would produce any document of authenticity, defendant would pay. Upon this plaintiff produced a book, in which were various entries made, as plaintiff alleged, at the several times she lent the money. The book was a ge net al memorandum book. Upon looking at it, his Honour said that it was a circumstantial document. Mr. Perry then called defendant, who said that the money had not been lent with his knowledge. He did not say that if plaintiff produced any acknowledgment he would pay. His Honour thought plaintiff had told a feasible story, backed by circumstantial documentary evidence, and be should give his verdict for the amount. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. charged with the following assault on Walter Vinor, of 17, Seymour-place, Bryanston-square : The complainant said he was passing along Lan2ham place about 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, when the de fendant suddenly rushed out of a public-house, and, without saying a word, cut him across the face with a gutta percha whip. The prisoner repeated his blows, but he (complainant) warded them off until the prisoner was secured. He had never seen the prisoner before. The blow on the face nearly cut through the skin. Thomas Southam, a witness, was passing, and saw the defendant cat the complainant with his whip, as if he meant to cut him in two. The defendant, in reply, said he was sorry for what had had happened ; he had drunk rather too much, and was really not aware of having assaulted any one. Mr. Bingham fined him £3 or one month. The complainant then asked if be was to have no recom pense for being knocked about without any cause and for his loss of time. Defendant—l think £3 is quite enough for knocking you about. I wish I had knocked you about ten times as much. Mr. Bingham said if complainant preferred receiving 40s. as a recompense for his sufferings and loss of time be did not see any objection to the matter being settled in that way. Provided the defendant would give him £2 compensation he would remit the fine. The defendant consented to give £2, and was accordingly discharged. SUSPECTED PERSON.—Henry Ball, well-known to the police as a constant associate of thieves, was placed at the bar for re-examination from the 20th inst. charged with loitering about Sackville-street, Piccadilly, with two others, not in custody, with intent to commit felony. Three skeleton and four other door keys having been found on the prisoner by Cole, the detective officer who had been watching him and his companions' movements the precedieg night, the magistrate remanded the case until yesterday (Friday), in order that inquiry might be made respecting the prisener and his habits. Sergeant Potter, D 16, new said he well knew the pri soner to be a companion of convicted thieves, and that for a long time past. He knew him by the name of Deane, and found it necessary to look very closely after him on the occasion of the extensive robbery at 68, Great Portland street, about 12 months ago (for which Sankey, the police man who, it may be recolle• ted, had charge of the premises and a man named White, marine store-dealer, as the re ceiver, were convicted and sentenced to penal servitude). Sergeant Crocker confirmed the witness's statement as to the prisoner being an associate of convicted thieves. Mr. Bingham said a man found lurking about the streets at night, unable to give a good account of himself, or to explain for his possession of three skeleton keys, must be put out of the way for a time, and he should therefore put the prisoner out of the way for three months. MARYLEBONE. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. — Mary Ryan, a very neatly-dressed young woman, aged 17, in the service of Mr. Stoker, coffee-house keeper, Cardington-street, Hampstead-read, was placed at the bar, charged with having robbed her master. Prosecutor deposed that on the previous night he went out to close his shutters, and while doing so he recollected that he had left his keys in the cupboard, in which, amongst other property, was his cashbox. He returned in-doors, and found the prisoner with the box in her lap, and as she was in the act of helping licrself to money he called in a constable and gave her in charge. The box contained from £lO to £l5. Prosecutor added that the prisoner had not been in her situation more than a fortnight. Palmer, 332 S, stated that when he took the prisoner she bad in her band two half-crowns and three shillings, which she asserted were her own. There was 2s. 91d. lying on a table close by, and she alleged that that was her master's, at the sametime admitting that she had taken it. The prisoner was dealt with summarily, and sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for three months. CHARGE OF HORSE-STEALING.—A man named Harris was brought up by Inspector Durdle, of the Great Western Railway police, on a charge preferred against him by Mr. Edward Burridge, of the Herefordshire constabulary, of having stolen a horse, the property of his father, and which he had brought from Ross by train. He was captured by Mr. Burridge, who had got to the terminus before him; and as he was about to take the animal away from the company's premises he was questioned as to bow the horse came into his possession, when he at first asserted that he bad it from a person with whose name or address he was unacquainted, but subsequently admitted that he had stolen it from his father. The prisoner was given over to the superintendent to be conveyed by him into the county in which the robbery was committed. SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A BOY.—George Grover, a farrier, living in Burwood-mews, Paddington, was charged with having assaulted, with an iron rod, James Manning, a boy aged 15, who, as stated by Kershaw, 124 D, was in Paddington Hospital. Owing to the injury he received it was not likely that he would be able for three or four days to attend at the court to give evidence. The accused, when he was taken, alleged to the officer that he merely intended to sprinkle some water over the lad, and that the rod which was in his hand at the time unfortunately slipped out and caused the hurt. Defendant was liberated on giving bail fur his reappear ance next Tuesday. MANSION HOUSE.—A. seaman, named Edward Thompson, was charged by Mr. Coleman, clerk to the Registrar of Seamen in the department of the Board of Trade, under the Merchant Shipping Act, section 176, with having fraudulently used a certificate of service and two reports of conduct belonging to one William Allen, a sea man. The penalty to which a transgressor is subjected by the act is £lOO, or imprisonment for six months. Wm. Dean, shipping-master, Minories, said—On Thurs day the defendant was brought to the office with other seamen by a captain who desired to ship him as one of his crew. He gave his name as William Allen, and made his mark to that name, stating that he could neither write nor read. After having made his mark, he handed in a discharge in the name of William Allen, from a vessel called the Isle of France. I asked him how long he had been in his last. ship, and he replied that he could not exactly say ; and my suspicion having been excited by the answer I put other questions to him, from his answers to which it appeared that he neither knew where the Isle of France went on her last voy age, nor the name of the captain of that vessel. I mentioned my suspicions, and he then produced two papers, purporting to be reports of the character of " William Allen," whose ability and conduct were described as very good, and he stated that they had been given to him by another captain, with whom he bad sailed in the William Hammond since he had left the Isle of France. I was confirmed in my sus picions by this, and I sent him to the office of the Registrar of the Board of Trade for examination. Mr. Coleman, the clerk to the registrar, said—The de fendant was brought to me, and he repeated to me what has been mentioned by Mr. Dean. I asked him where the Wil liam Hammond went on the voyage in which he repre sented himstlf as having sailed in her. He said he had :sailed to the West Indies. I then told him that his statement must be false, as there could not have been time for such a voyage since the date of the discharge from the Isle of France, which was only April, 1838. After putting some other questions to him, I asked him where he got the discharge ; to which he answered, " From the sailors' Home, in Wells-street." The discharge had been actually given to William Allen at another office. At last the defendant said his name was "Edward Thompson," that he had lost his own discharge, and that the discharge he produced had been given to him by somebody. He said that he could neither write nor read ; but I produced to him articles which he had signed some time ago in very good writing.; as Edward Thompson. In two discharges given to the defendant by captains with whom he had sailed his ability was described as good ; but the master of the Cal cutta, one of the vessels, had refused to give him a character for anything but ability. The Lord Mayor—Defendant, the signature which was written by you is written in a hand of which no man need be ashamed, and therefore your assertion as to your inability to write or read was in itself a fraudulent representation. Defendant—l said what I did because I was afraid of getting the man who gave me that discharge into some trouble. The Lord Mayor—Not at all. You were only thinking of yourself. You knew well that you were committing a serious offence, for the certificate you produced described your ability as good, but the captain refused to say any thing about your conduct. Defendant—l had a few words with him before I left the ship. That was the cause. The Lord Mayor—No captain would refuse to give you a certificate. He is compelled by law to give one if you deceive it. Mr. Coleman—A captain is compellable by law to give a certificate as to ability; but it is optional with him to certify as to conduct. The Lord Mayor—lt is not at all likely that a captain would refuse to give a certificate of character if it were de served, and the defendant has committed a most serious offence in representing himself to be of good character, when, in fact, his character is liable to the greatest imputation. A bad seaman may cause the loss of a ship and the passengers, and whenever a case of the kind is proved before me I shall visit it with severe punishment. The defendant has ren dered himself liable to a penalty of £lOO or imprisonment for six months. I shall, however, under all the circum stances, mitigate the penalty to £lO or imprisonment for one month, and hard labour for that period. The defendant was then committed. CLERKENWELL.—CHARGE OF FURIOUS DRIVING AND WILFUL DAMAGE.—Joseph Powell, the driver of the metropolitan omnibus, No. 6,440, the property of the London General Omnibus Company, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by a cabman named James Martin, of 11, Sussex-street, Tottenham-court-road, " for that the de fendant did, on Wednesday, August 18, at half-past nine at night, in St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell, unlawfully, b: furious driving, cause damage to a cab, the property of Mrs. Mary Ann Earl." It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that, on the night in question, he had put a fare down in North ampton-square, Clerkenwell, and was coming up Charles street to go down Myddelton-street. Charles-street was in a direct line, be crossing St. John-street on the left hand side, being his right side. The defendant was driving down St. John-street-road at a furious rate, and turned so sud denly round to get into Myddelton-street, that the pole of his oinnibu4 ran into the off side of the cab. The defendant then called to him (complainant), who was going at the rate of between five and six miles per hour. The defendant had no command over his horses, but he pulled up after he had got the distance of 10 yards in Myddelton-street. It would require to repair the cab. At the time of the collision the defendant had his head turned to his conductor. In cross-examination by Mr. Wakeling, the complainant swore that the defendant's horses were running chum St. John-street-road at the rate ofl2 miles an:hour, and that he crossed St. John-street-road on the left-hand side,which was his right side. He did not stop at the Coach and Horses public-house or go on the right band in crossing St. John street-road to get into Myddelton• street. Two other witnesses were called, but did not carry the case any further. One of them said that complainant was close to the lamp post opposite the public-house, and neither could judge at the rate the defendant was driving, though it was - furious. Mr. Wakeling, having addressed his worship upon the evidence, said his case was, that the complainant crossed on the right hand of St. John-street-road, being his wrong side, and was called to by the defendant, which he did not heed, and through his misconduct the accident occurred. He then called James Rendall, who stated that he was a passenger, sitting by the side of the defendant, who was driving under six miles an hour. The omnibus was full. Before the omnibus came to Myddelton-street he saw the complainant crossing St. John-street-road on the right-hand side, making to the Coach and Horses public-house, and the defendant called twice to the complainant, who took no notice, and it was then the accident occurred in about the middle of the road in Myddelton-street. Mr. Tymbitt expressed himself satisfied with this witness, and dismissed the summons. SPECIAL PLEADING BY A BOY.—James Walton, a boy about 10 years of age, was summoned at the instance of the police authorities of the N divisor', with unlawfully ex posing fruit for sale upon the carriage-way, so as to cause an obstruction. The defendant, when asked whether he was guilty or not guilty, pleaded that he was not guilty, as what he was sell ing on the day in question was cucumbers and oni.ns. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not say that cucumbers and onions were fruit, and dismissed the summons. CRUEL AND SYSTEMATIC ROBBERlES.—Elizabeth Collins, a young woman, aged 22, described on the police sheet as a bootbinder, refusing her address, but who, it may be stated, was very fashionably attired, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing £8 lOs., from 61, Osiulston-street, Somers-town, the money of Kate Mary Stevens; and also with stealing a box of linen, and some trinkets, of the value of £7, from a servant of the name of Eliza Meads. When the case was called on there were no less than seven persons stepped forward to prefer charges against the pri soner. The first case gone into, that of the robbery of Miss Stevens, was a very cruel and heartless one. It appeared that the prosecutrix had only a few days before the robbery been delivered of a child, - and the prisoner, apparently from motives of kindness, waited upon her. One morning she gave the prosecutrix a little gin and water, which caused her to fall asleep, and when she awoke the prisoner had de camped, taking with her the whole of the money the prose cutrix had saved to purchase her infant's clothes with, and thus left her in the greatest distress. The next case taken was that of the robbery of clothes from Eliza Meads, then a servant out of a situation. The pri soner slept with this prosecutrix to save expense, and during her temporary absence took the opportunity of steal ing one of her boxes, containing nearly the whole of her under clothing, a chain, and some trinkets. When the pri soner was searched at the police-station the chain and trinkets, as well as some petticoats she was wearing, were found upon her and at once identified. In another case it seemed that a poor woman, whose husband was out of em ployment, was endeavouring to earn a livelihood by boot bino.,ng, and took the prisoner in to assist her. While absent making a small purchase, the prisoner stole all her tools, as well as some articles of clothing and some books, and was not seen anything more of until she was apprehended in Tottenham-court-road. In her reticule was found a bottle of rum. The prisoner declined to ask any of the witnesses any questions, or to say anything in answer to the charges. She said they might find out where she lived, but,she would not tell. The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, was remanded by Mr. Tyrwhitt until Thursday next. WESTMINSTER.—TRADESMEN'S QUARRELS.-3/r. Win. Chi/ion, plumber and glazier, No. 134, Kiniaerton street, Belgrave-square, appeared before Mr. Paynter to a summons, charged with having assaulted Mr. Ed ward Summers, baker, Moteomb-street, Belgrave-square. Mr. Smyth attended for the defendant. Complainant stated that he employed defendant to make some repairs. He commenced them, and for some days worked on at the repairs, when he suddenly left. Com plainant, as he had not finished his work, went to him, when he found that he was at the house of Mr. Barber, a green grocer, in Bridge-row, Chelsea. He went there last Wed nes, ay week, and also on the following day. On that day (the Thursday) when at the house of Mr. Barber, the de fendant came up frctn the cellar with a shovel in his hand, with which he gave him (complainant) a cut across his shins. In answer to Mr. Smyth, complainant observed that he would not say that on the third day lie did not remark, " You are down there, you villain." It is likely he said that lie was "A good- far.nothirg vagabond." De did not see defendant before he struck him with the spade on the Thursday. Mr. Paynter remarked that when complainant applied for the summons, he showed him the wound, which appeared to be of a very serious character. IVilliam Hall, 4, Union-street, Pimlico, corroborated complainant's evidence. Mr. Smyth said that by his instructions he was prepared to show that the injury inflicted was qu ite accidental, and that it occurred on the occasion while com p lainant was waving his umbrella, which defendant thought was about to he aimed at him, when, in his attempt to ward off t ied b lo w, lie struck the complainant accidentally. Ile called wit nesses. They were present to give evidence, but Knowland, a warrant officer of the court, said that they had been present during the whole of the examination, t h o ugh he had, in compliance with the order of the mag i stra te, directed them to he out of court. Mr. Paynter observed that he should not put much con fidence in their evidence after that. Samuel Barber and a female were sworn. Mr. Smyth wished to have the case sent to the county Court. Mr. Paynter remarked that, if the case were sent there, defendant would he subject to heavy damages, and he thought he could give his decision upon it. It would have been more discreet,serious, rio t perhaps, buta m os most if the complainant assault. t. h had not gone to the house where defenda n t was . It was, however , not only a ed Defendant was fined £5, including 10s. costs, which was immediately paid. STEALING PROM A CHILD IN THE STREET.—Sarah ll:isfield, residing at No. 36, York-street, was charged with stealing three penny-pieces from Jessie Proctor, aged 41 years, who resides with her parents, at Cutmore's-build ings, Queen's-road, Pimlico. It appeared that o n th e pr evious afternoon the child wag company of the I p k) r i i i s c o e n -,- ; e r a , n a 9 r t u n l b h i he having sent e l e iy ss- l e i n e w r , mother to p ur chase some article, when , in that the child was d ecent ly d ress ed, and that the prisoner 0 ler iv, I ll is 4 s l u , s s p a ie w in h n e s r , s i e n ei t n h g e was in tattered garments, watched them. Ile observed the prisoner take something out of the child's hand, after which prisoner left her. The officer went to the child, who told him that the prisoner had taken her money. He appre hended the prisoner, and took her to the child's mother, who told him that she had given her child three penny pieces. The prisoner took five penny-pieces from her pocket, one of which bad the initials " J.H." upon it, which was identified by the mother. The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being ac cepted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. UNPROVOKED As- SAT:LT.—John Bracegirdle, a well-dres4d person, was LAMBETH.—A HARD CASE—EXTRAORDINARY CON DUCT OF A FRENCH BARON.—Two intelligent men in the garb of mechanics applied to the Hon. G. C. Norton for his advice and assistance under the following somewhat dis tressing circumstances:— From the statement of the applicants it appeared that in the month of J une last, they were engaged by Baron Amedee Baillot to proceed to Russia to assist in carrying out a pro ject of manufacturing gas from rosin, and light the principal cities and towns in that extensive empire, the baron repre senting that he bad the sanction of the Russian Govern ment to his undertaking, and that amongst its patrons were the Archduke Constantine, B a ron Brunnow, Sze. Be lieving the baron's rep resen t a tions, and his offers of remune ration being liberal and much more than that which they were earning at the time, they were lcd to accept them, and at his request they attended at the office of a solicitor, in Parliament-street, and signed a written agreement. One of the applicants here handed to the bench an agreement, which was written on a half-crown stamp, and was read by Mr. Norton. The following is a COPY : " Agreement made this 14th (lay of June, 1858, between Baron Amedee Baillot, on the first part , and James Beale rosin distiller, of London, on the second. 1, James Beale, hereby agree and bind myself to give my ser vices to the party df the first part for one year from this day, the 14th o f J u ne, 1858 and '59, to proceed to any place and to any part of Russia the first party may direct me.

The attendance of millers and dealers was rather small, and the passing business was limited. : Wheat and flour were held firmly, and no reduced price would be entertained. On the whole the ge neral feeling was towards steadiness in price, and a genuine good demand for present consumption. WAKEFIELD CORN-AuG. 27. SOUTHWARK.—EXTENSIVE PLUNDER BY A BAR MAN.—Henry Howes, a respectable-looking young man, ' under barman to Mr. William Sudell, a licensed victualler at the Noah's Ark, 360, Blackfriars-road, was brought be fore Mr. Burcham for final examination charged with robbing his employer to a serious extent. Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Edwin for the prisoner. The prosecutor said that the prisoner bad been in his employ twelve months as potman and under-barman. It was a portion of his duty to attend upon customers behind the bar and put the money in the till. On Tuesday night last, about 9 o'clock, while witness was at supper in the bar parlour, his brother brought the prisoner into the room by his wrist, exclaiming, "I have caught him," and at the same time two shillings dropped from the prisoner's hand. Witness sent for a constable, when t he prisoner wanted to go up stairs , but he prevented rn, and on the arrival of the constable he was searched, and 255. 10d. found on him in silver and copper, and a half-sovereign, besides a set of gold studs an d a purse. He then sent up stairs for his box,which, being opened, a smaller box was found, and the prisoner was asked what that contained. He replied, " Eighteen pounds which he had from his uncle, and that it bad never been opened while he had been there." The contents of that box were counted, and amounted to £l6 in gold, and £2 in silver. Among the geld he identified a sovereign and a half which had been in his possession during the last six weeks. In the large box was also found a new watch and chain, a pint and a half of brandyy, and a quantity of cigars. There were also numerous articles of new clothing, which appeared to have been recently purchased. Mr. Burcham asked what wages he had given the pri soner? Mr. Sudell replied that he paid him ss. a week, with his his board and lodging, and presents at times. Mr. Solomon asked how much he bad paid him since he had been in his service ? Mr. Sudell said, about £l2 wages and £3 gratuities. By Mr. Edwin—He never told me that he had any money of his own until his box was searched. Mr. Henry Sudell said he lived with his brother (the last witness), and on Tuesday night was serving in the bar. About nine o'clock he saw the prisoner take two shillings from the till; and as be was about to serve a customer, be (witness) seized hold of him by the wrist, and forced him into the bar-parlour, where his brother was at supper. The two shillings then dropped from his hand. The prisoner's uncle was here called forward, and be denied having at any time given him £lB. On Sunday last he did give him half a sovereign. Edwin Smith, 66 L, said he took the prisoner into cus tody for stealing two shillings from his master's till. He told witness he did not mean to steal the money; he in tended to put it back into the till. Witness searched him, and found 255. 10d. on him. In his boxes were found upwards of £22, making altogether £24, besides a silver watch and chain, a pint and a half of brandy, and a bundle of cigars. The prisoner said £lB was given him by his uncle. Thr prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Edwin, his solicitor, pleaded guilty, and asked his worship to deal with him under the New Criminal Justice Act. The prosecutor also made a similar application. Mr. Burcham told the prisoner that he - .ad been guilty of a very serious offence, and had it not been for the wish of the prosecutor be should have sent him to the sessions for trial. Under all the circumstances be should sentence him to six months' bard labour, and order all the money and property to be handed over to the prosecutor. The prisoner was then removed. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS AND THEIR CLOCKS • The show of samples of new wheat offering were not in good condition, and prices were rather lower ; for old the prices of last Friday were firmly held. All other articles as before, and they were fully as dear. George Linford, a highly-respectable licensed victualler, proprietor of the Royal George, Great George-street, Ber mondsey, was summoned by the police for unlawfully having his house open for the sale of beer, spirits, Sze., before the hour of one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the 15th inst. Mr. Solomon appeared for defendant. Edwin Coleman, 53 M, said that on the day in question he was on duty in Great George-street, near Bermondsey Old Church, and about nine minutes to one he saw defendant's potman coming from the house with a can containing about a pot of beer. He was nearly opposite the church then, and on looking sideways be perceived the defendant's doors open. He proceeded there, and saw the front of the bar crowded, and people being served with beer, &c. He told Mr. Lin ford that he had done wrong by opening before one. He replied, "It is past one—look at my clock." Witness did so, and that was 10 minutes past. In cross-examination Coleman said that when he saw the doors open he could only see the house sideways by standing close to the wall, and he could just see the church clock. Mr. Solomon here contended that, in the situation the officer was in, it would be impossible to see the church clock distinctly, consequently he might be mistaken as to the time. Mr. 'Edwin, the chief clerk, said he knew the locality well, and he thought it would be difficult for the officer to distinguish the church clock where he was standing. At the same time, he knew that the decks varied very much in that locality. Mr. Solomon said that his client was a highly respectable licensed victualler, and had no idea of breaking the law. He had instructed him to say that, in order to get his house clear by 12 on Saturday night, the hands of the clock were put forward 10 minutes, and he believed the barman forgot to put them back on Sunday morning. His worship thought there was a doubt in the case, there fore defendant must have the benefit of it. The summons was therefore dismissed. THAMES.—ROBBERY IN THE ST. KATHARINE DOCK. —Charlee Gore, aged 30, late in the employ of Peek, Brothers, and Co., importers and wholesale tea, coffee, and spice dealers, of Eastcheap and Love-lane. City ; and Ben jamin Smith, 62, a labourer in the employ of the St. Ka tharine Dock Company, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a bag of raw coffee weighing 1 cwt. 3 qrs. 41bs. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended Gore. It appeared from the evidence thaton po W el e , d , n h e is sd e a to y p l l a o s y t e t r h a, e prisoner Gore was directed by Messrs. t w o a f r e e t h c o h us a e bag of of th rawe St. .co ne u d n t e o k. them Th f e rom pri t i h n e ne D r loop hole of the D Katharineware ree c°ng after backing the cart under a coffees, he went drove his employers' hor:e and cart into the dock, and into the warehouse, and had so o m on e afterwards "a false bag house, where it was not usual to deliver I. conversation with Smith and a man named Elsden. . 3 S q rs. 4 lb., was lowered from of coffee,"weighi n g and horsehato Messrs.and cart Peek'saway , l , oophole of the warehouse, drove tiler Theheprisoner loophole then e Icw warehousehis coffee.

The superintendent of police went to the yard at the back of the warehouse and took the false bag of coffee out of the cart, and asked Gore how he came by it, to which he replied that he knew nothing about it, that he came for a bag of cofiee and had got a bag of coffee. Mr. Mumford added that Smith and Elsden had no right to deliver a bag of coffee at all, and that the one they had delivered was made up for the purposes of plunder. Elsden had absconded. Mr. Selfe asked what was meant by a false bag of coffee ? to which Mr. Mumf or d replied that the bag cf coffee im properly delivered to Gore by Smith and Elsden was not a cargo bag, and had no marks or rotation number upon it, ,but was filled with raw coffee plundered from bulk in the warehouse. It was intended by the thieves to have two bags of coffee from the warehouse. Mr. Selfe could not understand how the thieves could have managed to get out of the dock with two bags of stolen coffee if they had been put into Messrs. Peek's cart, unless forged passes had been written and sigued by an officer of the dock company. Mr. Mumford explained the case at considerable length, and said the scheme to obtain possession of the bags of coffee was a most artful one. A delivery order for one bag of coffee, consigned to Peek, Brothers, was left at the ware house in the morning, and upon that Messrs. Peek's carman received an identity note to be delivered to the warehouse keeper. On the delivery of the bag of coffee the carman would have to obtain a written pass-note, to be given to the gate-keeper on leaving the dock. On Wednesday, when NEWARK CORN—Au c. 25.

Although there was in the beginning of the year a lull in the pro cesses of destruction and reconstruction in the City, in con sequence of the failure of a leading speculator, it may now be seen that the hesitation which prevailed as to the advan tages of the system are at an end, and it is going on steadily . The fact that the aigantic caravanserai of commerce.-- Gresham House, in Old Broad-street—has let well, has told powerfully on investors ; for if such a large operation can be successfully accomplis hed, it is thought there is hope for smaller undertakings. Of course there are sets of chambers in many places unlet, for some people think they have nothing else to do but to turn an old inn or ware house in some out of tfie way place into offices, clap on I heavy rent, and let them at once, without regard to the nature of the trade in the district, or the facilities of access. Gresham House, and 17, Gracechurch-street, cwe much of their success to their having good outlets, for where clerkg and messengers are being sent out continually, the loss of minute or two in having to run round the corner of a street is seriously. felt. A great part of the value of Gresham House is owing to the outlet in Bishopsgate-street, inde pendent of that in Broad-street ; for otherwise the situatiol in Broad-street would be inconvenient, as it is in an island formed by Broad-street, Threadneedle street, Bishopsgate street, and Wormwood-street. Therefore, unless suf ficient property can be get together to giv e this access—unless the frontage is in a first-rate situation, like Cornhill—the speculation is Dkely . to be a failure. It likewise found that a site too narrow is inconvenient , an hence there are many single plots of building ground front which the houses have been cleared, and which now remain „ unlet, after a delay of many months. Another class 0, operations which has failed has been where an old inn hal been turned into small rooms, as in Guildhall-chambers, la Basinghall-street, of which a large portion is commonly tar' let. Old Jewry-chambers have done better; but where a long way has to be gone up to reach the required office, and there'll the same way to be followed back again, success cannot 17 6 relied en. "No thoroughfare" seems to have small attrac' lion for a man of business. Very likely if a house at the back of Guildhall-chambers were annexed to it, so as to reach Coleman-street, it would become one of the best in: vestments of the day. The plan of two small rooms in a se' as offices is found very inconvenient, because when a ms s wants to extend his business by the addition of another rooo or two, he cannot do so, and is obliged to change his address , which is a great annoyance, even to the young beginne r ' His cards and circulars must be altered, and his country customers, who come up once a year, must have a hunt for him. A set of offices should never be in less the? four, as is the case in Gresham House and the beg examples. This allows of letting ene, two, three, of four offices together, and, consequently, of the expansi on of business. It happens, too, that a man gets a new bag: ness or agency, for which he requires a separate entracte e and access for clerks and customers, but employing h,i3 former private room. This he cannot compass in the 01' houses with two rooms on a floor. Some endeavour is beinq made to compensate for this by building out on the grout'? floors a room over the small back yard and waterclose t, wit e a top light; but very few of these are found convenien t, and there is a great objection to them. The new chambers let, not because there is a want of rooms in the City, bu t because there is a want of rooms and sets suitable fur count' ing-houses, although very fit for bed-roams. --Building It ems.
