This was an action to recover £1 14s. alleged to have been overcharged to plaintiff on the occasion of the pound ing of threo strayed horses by defendant. According to the testimony of plaintiff, and two witnesses, it appeared on a certain Sunday morning three horses grazing in a fenced field belonging to plaintiff broke out and strayod into a field belonging to defendant. The horses were all sate at six o'clock, and at eight they were in the pound. i`To damage was sustained by defendant, as his field was thoroughly examined, and yet 345. was demanded and paid at the pound before the horses were released. Defendant said he had been annoyed lily cattle straying on his land, and he would not stand it any longar. For the defence, defendant and a witness said that the horses ran all over the field, kicking up some mangel wurzel and eating the clover. Defendant picked up a great quantity of mangel wurzel destroyed by the horses. He only received 30s. out of the money paid as above at the pound. Defendant had been much injured by the cattle of other parties straying on to his land. His Honour said that plaintiff could not be made to pay for other parties. Defendant had thought proper to assess his own damages, and obtain the money before plaintiff could get his horses. It was very evident that plaintiff was liable, as his horses had trespassed; but defendant had over• estimated the amount, and must refund 245. Verdict for plaintiff for £1 45., and costs.

HOAX AND ATTEMPTED STRANGU LATION OF A NEWSPAPER REPORTER. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(?ISIS DAY.) BOW-STREET. DARING JEWEL ROBBERY.—James Jones was placed at the bar, charged with breaking the shop window of Mr. anderson, a jeweller in the Strand, and stealing a quan tity of jewellery. Mrs. Sanders, a lady residing at Cheltenham, but on a visit to London, said—l was in the Strand last night, and saw the prisoner go up and look at the window of a shop opposite the Lowther Arcade, in which there was a quan tity of jewellery. He put up both his hands, smashed the glass, snatched iomething, and then ran away. I saw a young man run from the shop after him, and he was even tually stopped without my having lost sight of him. William Henry Simpson, said—l am assistant to Mr. Henderson, of 38, Strand, jeweller. Last night I was in the shop, and heard the window smash. I instantly ran into the street, and there I saw the prisoner running. I fol lowed in pursuit, overtook and collared him. I obtained assistance, and after having seen the prisoner safely secured returned to the shop to see what was missing from the win. dow. I did not miss anything, but Mr. Henderson picked up a case containing a gold bracelet, in the street, near the shop window. Mr. Henderson said, I reside at 76, Wimpole-street, and am proprietor of the house mentioned, 38, in the Strand. I was in the shop last night, and on hearing the window break I ran out, and saw the prisoner running. I picked up the bracelet (produced), which I value at six guineas, in the street, in front of the window, and a gold stud. Both articles formed a part of the stock exhibited for sale. Mr. Hall (to prisoner)—What have you to say to this charge ? Prisoner—l plead guilty to breaking the window, but not to stealing the articles produced. Polico-constable 64 F, said—About half-past 7 I saw a mob of people in the Strand. I went up and found several gentlemen holding the prisoner, some of whom told me he had broke a jeweller's window in the Strand. I took him to the shop, and from thence to the station-house, and charged him with stealing a leather case, a gold bracelet, and a gold stud. On the road to the station prisoner said, " I've put my mate on to a job at the next window, and he's got something, I know. I've only broken the window myself." At the police station ho said, "It is better to rob the rich than the poor." Prisoner—Do you say I spoke these words to you ? Constable—Yes. Prisoner—l did not. All l've got to say in answer to :he charge is that I took nothing, but merely broke the window. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial. The companion of the prisoner, Wm. Raymond, was then placed by his side in the dock, and both were charged with committing a similar offence at tlae:shop of Mr. Vaughan, jeweller, of 40, Strand. A novel case of hoaxing and murderous assault happened on Thursday evening, on a reporter. It will be sufficiently explicit for the reader, and vague enough for us to conceal the individuality and location of the gentleman, to mention that it was within the Midland Counties. In detailing the particulars of this piece of shameless duplicity, we must mention that several times on Thursday last a person of respectable exterior and gentle manly deportment called at the residence of a provincial reporter, wanting, as he said, to see the said reporter, who, however, was out for the day. He gleaned from the servant girl that he would re turn about seven in the evening He did not come again. A little after seven, and almost immediately after the arrival home of the reporter, a knock was heard at the door. It proved to be a man dressed in the garb of a farm labourer, with a note for the master of the house. He appeared flushed, as if "put about," had a dog-cart at the door, and said it must be given to the master, and so he waited for an answer. The letter, he said, was from his em ployer. On opening it, it was signed by a country squire, known through a very recent acquaintance ship to the reporter, and who lived in an isolated, yet most beautiful spot, some four miles dis tant. It was written in a hasty manner, and was nearly an illegible scrawl. The writing of the squire was not known to him, he therefore accepted it as genuine, The purport of the note was, that his housemaid had just deliberately cut the throat of the nurse, through finding her encom passed within the arms of a former sweetheart of hers, and that he had ventured to acquaint him of the matter, believing that he would like to know of it as early as possible, and adding that he might ride with his man in the dog-cart down to his house the same evening if he liked, and that his man should bring him back. In a postscript he ad vised him, for special reasons, to come then with the man. Having gained from the messenger enough of the particulars of the affair to make him think it had horrible features, he determined to go, and so proceeded towards the scene in a dog-cart. Before going far he was asked by his companion if he had brought his note-book with him. He found he had not, so they returned for it. The man, while the reporter was in the house, went a short distance away, and went into a shop. Directly after they were soon on the way, and when about midway between his own house and the squire's, he was seized by the throat by the seemingly farm labourer, and his money ab stracted from his pockets by the powerful villain. Attempting to get away, he was held down by the throat, and threatened that he would strangle him if he offered any resistance. - By dint of much per severance he released himself from his grasp, but immediately regaining himself, he was thrown over the cart into the road, and away galloped the horse with the despicable robber. Cries for assistance would have been futile in his situation. It was found out that the note was a base forgery, that the dog cart had been borrowed from the proprietor of a road-side inn, under the plea that the said squire had " just been taken very ill," and that he wanted to fetch a doctor quickly. The horse and dog cart were found in a field about a quarter of a mile from its owner's. No trace of the scamp has yet been found out. While the reporter was away, the servant girl who answered the door communicated to a fellow servant her belief that he was the same person who had asked to see her master the samo day. Edward Oxenham, of 6, Caroline-place, Old Kent-road, said—Last night I was near a jeweller's shop (Mr. Vaughan's), and saw the two prisoners looking at the arti cles exhibited for sale. The taller prisoner (Raymond) then raised his right arm, dashed it through the window, and made a snatch with his left hand at the jewellery, and both men then ran away. Raymond, after he had gone a short distance, was stopped by a lady, who, despite a strong resistance made by him, during which she was struck, held him until assistance arrived, when he was taken back to the shop. Jones in a short time again returned to the shop, and after standing a minute or two looking at it went a few yards lower down the Strand to Mr. Hen derson's shop and there did precisely as Raymund had done at Mr. Vaughan's. Mrs. Derard said—l was passing the shop of Ms. Vaughan last night, and after I had proceeded a few yards I heard a breaking of glass, and in a few minutes the pri • soner Raymond almost immediately passed me with a tray of rings in his hand. I seized him, when ho struck me violently, but I held him until assistance arrived, and he was taken back to Mr. Vaughan's. Mr. C. Vaughan said—l reside at 39 and 40, Strand, with my uncle, John Vaughan, who is a jeweller. At about twenty minutes past seven last night I was in the shop, when I heard a smash in the window. I rushed out and found the prisoner struggli ng with the last witness. I s aw a card of rings in his hand. I t oo k th em from UM) and he was then taken back to th e s h op an d given into cus tody. The card of ri ngs pro d uc ed were stolen from the window. It originally held twenty rings, the value of which was £464. Five diamond rings are mis sing, which I value at £Bl. One of the rings, worth £92, was taken off tho prisoner's finger in my presence. Both prisoners declined saying anything in their defence. The foreman of Mr. Vaughan made an application to the magistrate that the property might be returned, as by remaining in the hands of the police until the Sessions came on, in addition to the loss already sustained by Mr. Vaughan by the losa of the five rings, ho would be deprived of the sale of tho remainder. Mr. Hall at first said he could not grant the application, but after a short consultation with Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, the ring taken from the finger of the prisoner : with two or three others of the least value on the card were re tained by the police, and others given back to the applicmt. Both prisoners aro well known to the polies, and have twice before been convicted of similar offences. One was committed at the shop of Mr. Mott, jeweller, of Cheapside, when some diamond bracelets, amounting in value to be tween two and three thousand pounds, had a very narrow escape. In the othar case a jeweller residing in Greenwich was the favoured party. THIS DAYS MARKETS. COVENT-GARDEN. Most kinds of produce continue in fair request, at fnlly last week's quotations.

SAVAGE ASSAULT.—Johanna Hayes, a milk carrier, was charged with assaulting Mary M'Cauley, another milk carrier, in a very savage manner —the implement used by the prisoner being a heavy metal pan used for the reception of milk. From the evidence of the complainant, whit) bore on the side of her head the marks of a very severe blow, it ap ; peared that on Tuesday last the prisoner, who had lately entertained a bad feeling towards her, struck her, but that had passed over ; but this morning she seized a pan used on the counter for storing milk, struck her a violent blow on the head with it, kneeling her down, swore she would " demolish" her, tore the hair off her head, and proceeded to other acts of violence. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the complainant said the prisoner was abqut to lewe her situation, 14, South Audley street, in consequence of using bad language, and that she had given her no provocation. The prisoner—Sure aad it's all lies she's been telling of me, and she's tried to undermine me, your worship. She's also said that the shopwoman had lived with an Irish gentleman, too. The complainant said she had merely told the prisoner that the person lived as housekeeper with the gentleman ; and she made bae of it. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner had evidently, through her stupidity misunderstood what was said to her, and had committed averybad assault, and he did not know but what he ought to send her for trial. However, he should order her to pay 40s. or a month. IRON STEAMSHIPS.— A writer in a contemporary says :—The awfil catastrophe of the loss of the Royal Charter, and her speedy breakingp on the rocks in Molefra Bay, has recalled to my mind certain discoveries which have of late been made by the officials of her Majesty's Dockyard at Portsmouth in relation to iron vessels, which I think cannot be too widely known, and may possibly have some connexion with the speedy breaking up of the Royal Charter. Iron Seam vessels have arrived home from foreign stations :oa certain extent leaky, and after being paid off and cleared out have been taken in hand for the necessary repairs. On the insides of the vessel's plates being examined, it has invariably been found that the w hole of the rivet heads, wherever the wash of the bilge water reached, had been worn off as cleanly as if cut by a han,per and chisel. This has led to a composition or cement being used over the settee of the plates of sufficient thickness to raise the surface of the place to an equality with the head of the rivet, and income cases bricks have been laid on the top of this cement, thus presen tin g a smooth service to the wash of the bilge water, and preventing its action on the hriavveets.beeln p In every case s m a l ee e e r s e s t f h al is , h t a h s e b h ee e n ad tr s ie o d f , the the r r e iv su er lt s s , after considernile service , being as sound as the first day they were made. Oa the contrary, .where the rivets have not been protected, but left to the action of the water and grit, in every me have the heads of the rivets been de stroyed, and with nothing to prevent their falling out the first severe strain the vessel should meet with at sea.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Behar, Captain Neil Cook, arrived at Scatharapton at 11.30 p.m. yesterday with the heavy portion of the Bombay mails, in charge of Mr. Richard Casson, of the General Post-office. She brought 31 first-class passengers, 15 second class, 18 children, 9 servants, and 7 deck passen gers—in all 80, among whom were :—Mrs. Abbott, Ensign Williams, Captain and Mrs. Manners and family, Captain and Mrs. Thain and family, Mrs. Walsh and family, Mrs. Henderson and child, Lieutenant Hobson, Miss Franeis.Major Chetwode, Mrs. Richards and family, Mr. Stock, Mrs. West and child, Lieutenant De Laney, Dr. McAndrew, Mr. Heath, Major Little, Lieutenant and Mrs. Miller and family, from Bombay ; Lieutenant Em erson, Mr. Rickerby, Lieutenant St. George, from Madras ; Captain Spalding, R.M., Dr. E. Reid, R. 111., from Malta; Mr. J. McGilp, Mr. W. West, Lieutenant Elmes, from Gibraltar, &c. On freight she had £2,240 in specie, 911 packages of Indian cargo, 154 bales of flax, 87 barrels of dates, 15 cases of gum, and 36 packages of general merchandise. The Behar left Alexandria on the 14th inst., Malta the 18th, and Gibraltar the 23 , 1. From Alexandria to Malta she had fine weather ; thence to Gibraltar strong head-winds and squally; from Gibraltar to the Channel strong breezes and Equally, with heavy confused sea ; and up Channel fine weather. On the 17th the Behar spoke the John Bunyan ; on the 18th the Adeliza, with foretopmast and mainmast gone ; and on the 24th the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Pera, bound for Gibraltar, steering S.E. The United States frigate Macedonian was leaving the harbour of Alexandria as the Behar left. Her Majesty's ships Hannibal, London, Bruns wick, St. Jean d'Acre; Renown, Vigilant, Hibernia, Banshee, and Boxer were at Malta. At Gibraltar, on the 23d, were her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Conqueror, Victor Emmanuel, Cen turion, James Watt, Scylla, Scourge, Caesar, Orion, Neptune, Edgar, Agamemnon, Loris, and Virago; also five French line-of-battle ships and two frigates. The Turkish steamer Boujoukdere, Captain G. Cosino, ten days from Cowes and two from Lisbon, arrived at Gibraltar on the 20th inst., in ballast, for Constantinople. The British merchant steamer Gottenburg, Cap tain J. Mullet, from London, arrived at Gibraltar on the 19th, laden with Government stores and a general cargo. The crew (five in number) of the British brig Redport, Captain C. Woolercott, which vessel sprang a leak and sunk on the 10th inst. off Cape Pallos, were landed at Gibraltar on the 19th by the ship Scorpion, C. Wells, master, from Patras. The Redport belonged to London, and was proceed ing from Girgenti to Newcastle, with a cargo of sulphur. The Rafaela, which arrived at Gibraltar on the night of the 19th from Tangier, stranded on the beach at North Front. At daylight a boat from the Spanish steamer Pensamiento went to her as sistance_and took off her passengers. The vessel was making water, and nearly all the baggage, in cluding that of Mr. Brown, the American Consul, was in a damaged state. At noon on the 20th Brigadier Don Blas Garcia Quesada, on assuming command of the Spanish squadron off Algesiras, was saluted by the Isabel 11., ship of the line, on hoisting his flag. After taking the command, the liner saluted the French and British Admirals, the Bretagne and the Marlborough returning the same compliment imme diately afterwards. Exchange quotations at Gibraltar stood as follows on the 22d inst. :—London, 90 days' date, 51 1-16 ; Paris, 90 days' date, sf. 32c. ; Marseilles, 90 days' date, sf. 33c. ; Genoa, 90 days' date, sf. 35c. ; Madrid, 8 days' sight, dis. ; Cadiz, 8 days' sight, par; Malaga, 8 days' sight, par; Seville, Q dis. ; Alicante, I dis. ; Valencia, b dis. ; Barcelona, par ; Spanish pillared dollars, 3 per cent. premium, none, and no demand.

THE IRON CROWN OF ITALY.—A Milan letter in the _Word says :—" The famous Iron Crown is lost to Lom bardy, Austria having made it a question of dignity. We regret that the Conference yielded on that point, not so much for the motives of municipal vanity associated with this external symbol of the past grandeur of Lombardy as for the political significance of tho refusal on the part of Austria. Can it be that Austria, not considering the sove reignty of Lombardy is transferred to Victor Emmanuel 11., retains its insignia, and means thereby to signify that the King de jure is still the Emperor of Austria, and that the temporary occupation of Piedmont does not preju dice his claims to an eventual re-occupation ? There is no other reason to justify Austria in her retention of the crown." 118 198 94 171 31 671 489 191 111 142 1831 283 1831 283 531 203. 466 100 2 328'1 /52 5 287.1 183, 173. 9 28 614 i 177 720 9 233 10i 115 294 29 571 301 171 .108 116 730 9 233 40 10} 94 115 ri 20 571 301 171 103 119 673 264 161 140 1081 849 884 283 285 107 224 21 574 674 44 841 922 979 777 . \ 75 716 STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND A2 7 D FRANCE. London and Paris are the two greatest capitals in the world, and England and France, as we are in the habit of persuading ourselves, are two of its greatest . nations. Sometimes we improve . upon this estimate, and profess to believe, what is cer tainly very credible, that we have a joint mission to promote the civilisation of humanity, and that we owe the assistance of example to people less enlightened or fortunate. There is some truth in these assumptions, and we can never do better than to act upon them ; but if any one were to apply a certain obvious test to our preten siona in this respect be would meet with a singular result. The chief element in all beneficial intercourse is facility of communication. The Romans knew this, and the evidence of their con victions remains to this day. The Americans know it, and apply their knowledge with infallible re turns. In measuring the power or civilisation of a Government, we measure its provisions for locomo tion and the transmission of intelligence. When we hear the number of hours in which the Moguls of Delhi, communicated with Cahill, and the Sove reigns of Mexico with the sea-coast, we jump at once to a general idea of their enlightenment : and when it was told that modern India had no roads the allegation proved highly prejudicial to the Government of the old company. Wise monarchs in every age have looked with anxious solicitude to the postal service in their dominions. Darius of Persia and Louis XI. of France busied themselves with the self-same work. Napoleon 111. has taken a similar course, and we can only hope that he will pursue it effectually ; for England and France, if not behind other nations, must certainly be re garded as behind the age so long as the communi cation between London and Paris remains as it is. " What !" exclaims the reader, " discontented with leaving London-bridge in the morning and dining in the Palais Royal at night ?" Yes, we are decidedly dissatisfied with this performance, and for the si m pl e reason th a t it can b e grea tly improved without the smallest difficulty. Be it remembered that railways and steamers are now not only established f ac t s , b u t th a t th ey are actually in full operation between the two great capitals of Western E uro p e . A n un i n t errupte d line of steam communication already exists without a break from London to Paris. There is no link wantiny anywhere, no fresh machinery or inven tion to be called into being. A little improvement in the way of piers, and an extension of the rails over a few hundred yards from the station to the pier -head, would really cover every new require ment. All the rest is at command already, and we have literally nothing to do in estimating our posi tion but to take certain well known results and apply them to the case before us. It is now per fectly understood that the railway trains can travel at a speed of 40 miles an hour without the least risk or pressure ; in fact, we are much underrating the speed which might be actually obtained. It is also known that steampackets can be made to ave rage at least 12 miles an hour with unexception able punctuality, and here, too, we have put the standard lower than is necessary. It remains, therefore, only to compute the mileage between Paris and London, and we shall discover at once how far our present performances are creditable to the enterprise of England and France. There are two main routes in use between the two capitals—one by way of Folkestone and Bou logne, th aeorte spet hreerbeysizyly a of D over foovlelowrans :_ and Calais. The distances Miles. (1) London-bridge to Folkestone Harbour .83 Folkestone to Boulogne 27 Boulogne to Paris 169-279 (2) London-bridge to Dover Dover to Calais Calais to Paris It thus appears that the distance from London o the French coast is the same in each case, being 10 miles ; but that the distance from the French coast to the French capital becomes nearly half as long again when the start, instead of being made from Boulogne, is made from Calais. Such a fact ought to be conclusive in favour of the Boulogne route as the route for the mail service, since the extra five miles of sea-passege cannot possibly counterbalance the saving of more than 60 miles by land, and the mere adaptation of piers to tides is a question of money only. Yet these two considera tions, insignificant as they aro, have been hitherto allowed to furnish pretexts for the adoption of the route by Calais, so that every letter despatched from London to Paris is carried over 67 miles of ground without the least necessity for the work. If, again, we look at the time consumed on the whole passege we can see plainly that we are not doing our best; for 13 hours, or at the least 121 hours, are taken for a total of 346 miles, of whish 324 are performed by railway, giving an average of not quite 30 miles an hour , for the entire I journey. At present the average speed of the Boulogne route is somewhat less than this, being about 28 miles per hour all through ; but this is simply be cause less care is taken to accelerate the journey; whereas it is evident, on the very face ofthe matter, that this is the route on which our efforts should. be concentrated. No superiority of management or arrangement can make up for an addition of nearly 70 miles to the length of the passage. The first thing in such a case is to ascertain the shortest practicable line between the two points to be con nected, and then to provide the most rapid means of communication. If the mail servico, for instance, were performed, as it should be, by way of Bou logne, we should first save the 67 miles now -unne cessarily traversed. By a proper acceleration of the speed maintained, we should then save something more ; for the 252 miles of railway between Paris and London-169 on French, and 83 on English ground—could certainly be performed without the slightest difficulty in six hours at the furthest. Allowing an average of three hours for the sea passage, with its incidents of embarkation and de barkation, we should at once obtain a gain of three hours out of twelve,and reduce the journey between London and Paris to nine hours only. In reality, another hour might be saved by judicious arrange ments, and the time brought down to two-thirds of its present length. When, therefore, we see thus plainly that the journey from London to Paris can be performed in eight hours we are naturally indisposed to acquiesce in a system which makes the passage half as long again, and proportionately retards all episto lary intercourse, not only between England and France, but between England and the Conti nent. Paris, from its natural position, is the great central depot for our Continental communi cations. All that we send to Southern Europe, and all that we receive from those parts, passes through Paris, and whatever shortens the time between Paris and London shortens the distance. between England and a score of other States. Our national interests, therefore, and indeed the interests of both nations, are deeply involved in a matter which may seem at first sight to be of no great importance. Every improvement in intercourse of this kind has been attended with beneficial results. An improve ment in the case before us would be fraught with more than ordinary advantages ; and, as the subject is actually under consideration, and the proposed acceleration is so manifestly practicable, we trust we may not be disappointed in anticipating the boon from the wisdom of the Imperial Government. — Times. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The will of the Right Hon. Sir James Stephen, K.C.8., formerly Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, was proved in the London Court of Pro bate on the 18th of October by Lady Stephen, the relict, sole executrix and sole legatee ; the whole of the property, real and personal, being left to her absolutely. The will was made in 1842 ; the per sonalty in England was sworn under £25,000. The will of the Hon. Lady Catherine Louisa Char. lotte Keppel was proved in London by Rear-Ad miral the Hon. Sir -Henry Keppel, the hus band and sole executor. The grant was limited to her ladyship's right interest and disposition in and over all the freehold and other estates under the will of the late George Thomas, Esq., on the decease of her father, the late Sir John Gustavus Crosbie, and also in the sum of £20,000 under the will of her mother; all which she leaves to her husband, Sir Henry. Her ladyship died without issue. The will bears date the Ist Sept., 1851. The will of the Right Rev. John Bowen, D.D;, Lord Bishop of Sierra Leone, was proved in Lon don on the 14th October by Hugh William Elcum, Esq., one of the executors, a power reserved to Simon Surman Bowen, M.D., the brother, and the Rev. Charles John Rashleigh Cooke, M.A., Rector of Orton Longville, Huntingdonshire, the other executors. The personalty in England was sworn under £4,000. He has bequeathed his library and books to his successor, for the use of the college and scholars. The rest of his property and effects he bequeaths in paoportionate parts amongst his rela tions.
