THE NAVY. The paddlewheel steam frigate Valorous, 16, Captain W. C. Aldham, from Queenstown, arrived at Plymouth on Sun day, and on Tuesday afternoon went up to Hamoaze to take in tow the ship Queen, 112, which is to be supplied with a screw at an eastern port. A court-martial, under the presidency of Vice-Admiral Sir B. Reynolds, K.C.8., assembled on board the flagship Impregnable, in Hamoaze, on Tuesday, for the purpose of trying Capt. J. B. Dickson, of the Cumberland, 70, and the Master, Mr. J. Crabbe, for grounding her on a rock near Flores Island, in Rio de la Plata, on the 15th of March. It was proved that the rock was not laid down in the Admi ralty charts, and both officers were honourably acquitted. The Cumberland was towed up harbour yesterday to have defects repaired. Rear-Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., Commander in-Chief of the Channel Fleet, struck his flag on Tuesday everting on board the Orion, at Spithead, and went on leave. The Terrible, 21, paddlewheel, frigate, Capt. Glasse, left Spithead on Tuesday evening for the eastward. The Sphynx, 6, paddlewheel sloop, was undocked yester day at Portsmouth, after repair.. The Royal Sovereign, 131, new screw three-decker, will be taken out of Portsmouth harbour by the staff of the Steam Reserve this morning to try her speed at Stoke's Bay. The Great Tasmania, freight-ship, embarked yesterday, at Portsmouth, the troops before enumerated, and will sail this day for the Mauritius. The Urgent, 6, steam troopship, Commander M`Donald, embarked yesterday, at Portsmouth, the troops before re ported, and will leave to-day for Alexandria. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander B. S. Rickards to the Victor Emmanuel. Lieutenant T. G. Nettleton to the Renown, Lieutenant W. A. R. Lee to the Formidable, W. E. Allen, assistant-paymaster, to the Victor Emmanuel, and John K. Cowley, assistant-paymaster, to the Wellesley. EASTERN AND WESTERN LINES OF MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH AUSTRALIA. The late Australian Mail Company were fined £27,000 during the first six months of their contract. From April, 1857, to last January, their ship s were behind time in reach ing Melbourne 43 days, and once during that time one of their ships arrived there a day before its time. During that period also the company's ships lost in leaving Melbourne for Suez 64 days. From April, 1857, to June, 1858, 96 days were lost in the steamers reaching Southampton. The colony of Victoria pays £30,000 towards the Australian Mail subsidy. It is said that the Royal Mail Company are about to establish a monthly mail communication between England and Australia, via Panama ; and that the Penin sular and Oriental Company are also about to carry a monthly mail to Australia, via Suez. The distance from Sydney to Suez, via Melbourne, is 9,400 miles. This dis tance has been done in 42 days, including stoppages, by the Simla and other steamers. The distance between Suez and Southampton (not overland) has been done in 14 days. Thus the Peninsular and Oriental Company have steamers which could convey a mail between England and Australia in 56 days. The Royal Mail Company will be able to run a steamer from Southampton to Colon, the western terminus of the Panama Railway, in 16 days, when they have built their new ships, and by going direct from St. Thomas to Colon, without calling at Carthagena and Santa Martha, the mails to which places could be conveyed by a branch steamer from Panama to Melbourne, via Tahiti, New Zea land, and Sydney, the distance is not above 9,000 miles. This distance could be effected in about 40 days, in cluding stoppages. Both by the Panama and Suez routes, therefore, the mails could be carried with regu larity by the two great mail packet companies in about 56 days. Each route has most important advantages, the Suez sne connecting India and China with Australia, and giving Melbourne an English mail in 54 days, and the Panama one, drawing New Zealand closer to Eng land, and giving Sydney a monthly mail also from England in 54 days. Once a month Melbourne would have an ad vantage over Sydney, and vice versa. This would put a stop to the jealousy existing between New South Wales and Victoria on this subject, which prevents a cordial co-opera tion between those two colonies in providing an effective mail-packet communication with England. The double routes would cause the ocean world to be completely bridged over, and would increase the commerce between England Ind the islands of the Pacific. There have been objections made to the western route to Australia. One Is that Aus tralia would be overrun with Americans, and become Ame ricanised ; but this is very unlikely, considering the magni ficent run of country which the Yankees possess in their own continent. Another objection is that the people of the United States would have the first intelligence of the Aus tralian markets ; but as ocean telegraphs become general, every monopoly in the knowledge of foreign markets will cease. Besides, the Royal Mail Company would be subsi dised to carry an English, not an American mail. A third objection is the unhealthiness of the Isthmus of Panama and of the Island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, the coaling depot of the Australian steamers. The stay at the latter place, however, would be very short, and the Panama isthmus is rapidly becoming more healthy, owing to the increase of population and the consequent clearing of the land. At one time the plague always raged in Egypt, but since Waghorn opened a passage through that ancient country for the English mails and passengers, the plague has ceased.—Daily News. SHERRIES HARBOUR OF REFUGE. A strong effort has been made to induce the new Lords of I the Admiralty to construct a harbour of refuge on the north east coast of Ireland, and Skerries is suggested as possessing great natural capabilities. The Drogheda Improvement Commissioners state in their memorial to the Lords of the Admiralty : "That between Kingstown and Belfast there are several sites possessing more or less natural capabilities that would involve but a moderate cost of constructing a harbour of refuge, and that would afford, in the opinion of the most intelligent masters of vessels, the best possible protection to the large amount of shipping frequenting the ports along the north-east coast, and to emigrant and other vessels from various ports of the United Kingdom. That it is a well-founded opinion of your petitioners, in which they are sustained by those of able a-nd experienced navigators, that Skerries Harbour, situate on the north east coast of Ireland, w ould form the most eligible and ad vantageous position for a harbour of refuge. That it 1)o:t -ames great natural capabilities from its depth of water, superior bolding ground, regular soundings, a n d other im portant requisites, that would render it capa bl e o f accom modating the largest merchant vessels, or even the royal navy, having besides the primary and essential advantages of direct accessibility from the sea alon g as even line of indentations of free from sunken rocks a nd dan g erous of the coast—circumstances that are re g arded by mari ne engineers as indispensable conditions i n fixin g the pos i t ion of a harbour of refuge. That there is no other po int en the north-east coast more frequented by ships pass ing and zepassing from the different ports of the United King dom (including Liverpool, the greatest naval port of Great Britain) than the Island of Rock-a-Bill, situate about four miles seaward of Skerries. That a lighthouse is now in course of erection on Rock-a-Bill that would distinctly indicate to vessels the course they would be enabled to steer during violent gales in making their approach to a harbour of refuge that would be so advantageou s ly s i tua t e d hi so many essential particulars as Skerries. That but little remains to render Skerries a complete safety harbour, where nature bas already done so much and art has al so b een em ployed, having abundant materials close at hand to convert it into a capacious harbour of refuge at the least possible cost of construction." The petitioners, therefore, fully coinciding in the petitions already adopted at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Drogheda, praying for s harbour of refuge on the north-east e:,ast, humbly pray the honourable House of Commons that such may be constructed at Skerriess, the petitioners being fully persuaded that thi s ethition Would a ff ord the greatest amount of protection to theiuterets o f dangerous. e°ln uler- cud navigation along a coast so proverbially The decision of the Government does not appear on the re cord.—Freeman's Journal. FATAL Gus ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning William Robinson Bower, the youngest son of Mr. Samuel Bower, manufacturer, of "The Hey," near Marsden, was accidentally shot by his own gun. About half-past nine o'clock in the morning, the deceased, accompanied by a ser vant named Prank Bainforth, went upon some hilly pasture Bround, the property of his father, and situate behind Mr. ower's residence, far the purpose of shooting sparrows. The man had been sent forward to start the birds, and the deceased, with his loaded gun, prepared to cross a fence. 'To accomplish this he passed his gun over the fence, hold ,Ling it by the muzzle, the butt end resting upon the ground. lie leaned forward with his breast upon the gun barrel, and was in the act of springing over, when, owing to some cir cumstance, the gun went off, and the entire charge was lodged in the youth's breast.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AUG. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulhurn.) IN RE PARKER MERCHANTS BEWARE OF ADVEN TURERS. This was an application for discharge from custody of Benjamin Parker, of No. 1, Adelaide-place, Lowd n-bridge, trading as Truman, Parker, and Co., as merchants. Mr. Bagley (instructed by Mr. Tripp, acting for Mr. Bebb) opposed on behalf of Messrs. Lingenbrick, mer chants of Vienna ; and Mr. Sturgeon supported the appli cation. Mr. Bagley stated that the bankrupt had traded as Truman, Parker, and Co., and had sent out circulars, showing the advantages of consignees sending their goods to him, although at the time he was an uncertificated bank rupt. Mr Bagley here read the circular : "1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge, London, Ist December, 1856. " Messrs. Lingenbrick, &c. " We take the liberty by the accompanying to acquaint you that we have established a commission and expedition (agency) business, and to offer you our services, supported by sufficient funds, with an intimate knowledge c,f English and transatlantic affairs. We hope to be of essential use to consignors, and to justify their confidence by our punctua lity and strictness. We will wait on you with our refer ences, as soon as you will let us know that you are disposed to enter into correspondence and treat with us, and remain in the meanwhile—Obediently, " TRUMAN, PARKER, & CO. " We beg you will send us your sample of velvet with fixed and cut border." He (continued Mr. Bayley) traded as Truman, Parker, and Co., because, if he had been known as Benjamin Parker, so well were his antecedents known from his appearance at law courts and other places, he would not have got credit for 6d. in the commercial world. He had been insolvent, twice bankrupt, his certificate being suspended for 12 months, and at that very time he was sending out circulars boasting of his unlimited funds. He had also accepted two bills without having funds to meet them. The bankrupt was then examined—His real name was Benjamin Parker. He never denied that, although he had gone by other names. He bad written letters in the names of " James Parker" and "Truman, Parker and Co." He had:never been in business as " Hadlow, Parker, and C 0.," or " Neal Parker." Had gone by the name of " James Phil lips." He gave an order for goods to Messrs. Lingenbrick, and did not return them. Sold them to Messrs. Nicholson and Co., of Cannon-street. Sold them at 30 or 40 per cent. under cost price, because there was no market for the goods in this coantry, and it was the best price he could get for -them. Messrs. Lingenbrick were informed by letter of that fact. He had been a colonial merchant, a builder, a sur veyor and architect, but not a wine merchant or a bill dis counter. Mr. Bagley produced the schedule from the Insolvent Court, which had been sworn to by the bankrupt, in which be described himself as a bill discounter. The bankrupt said that probably arose from his having got two or three bills done through agency. The Commissioner—Never mind, sir, you have sworn to it. Mr. Bagley asked the bankrupt whether he bad ever been in a criminal court ? Mr. Sturgeon objected to the question. The Commissioner thought it of the first importance to the commercial world to know what this man's antecedents were. The bankrupt, on being pressed, said he had been in dicted two or three times but never convicted. lie was once advised to plead guilty, and was then discharged. Did not remember how he was discharged. Mr. Bagley—How long after you pleaded ? The bankrupt, with evident reluctance, replied two months; he had been charged and out on bail; he absconded from his bail ; he was caught, convicted, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment at Maidstone, in 1851 ; Ise was convicted iu the name of James Parker; he had been con victed for conspiracy 15 years ago. Mr. Bagley then read the following correspondence : " Gentlemen,—We are in reesipt of yoar favour of the 9th inst., and we have only at this moment occasion to give you an order for velvet ribbons with fixed borders; send us on the conditions stipulated. (Here follow particulars of goods ordered.) We trast that the quality of the goods will be satisfactory to us, and that a relationship may spring up between us.—Yours obediently, " TRUMAN, PARKER, AND CO. " Messrs. Lingenbrick and Co." "1, Adelaide-place, London-bridge, March 25,1857. " Gentlemen,—We are in possession of your let er dated the 20th inst., and see with much astonishment that you have sent us an invoice for the £357 18s., and sending us boxes of unusual large size. We expected to receive boxes of the usual size, of 25 to 30 pieces, No. 2. Under these circumstances we must refuse the surplus of the goods, seeing that we had not a larger order than we gave you. However, in order not to give you any inconvenience, and so as Lot to delay the execution of the order of our employer any further, we will accept the case as it is, provided the conformity of the contents. We will also accept your bill for £BO at eight days' sight. The remainder will be honoured at three months' date. We are obliged to ask this, as we keep the greater part of the goods in stock.—Obediently yours, " TRUMAN, PARKER, AND CO. "Messrs. Lingenbrick and Co." The bankrupt was then questioned by Mr. Sturgeon. He bad premises at Millbank, which were very valuable, having been valued by one surveyor at £14,000, and by another at .E 12,500. Part of the manufactures was for ladies' dresses ; it was a new fashioned whalebone to supersede crinoline. He had been offered a mortgage of £3,500 upon the premises. His object in seeking his discharge was to realise his estate for the benefit of his creditors. He had had them altogether and made that statement to them. He had offered 20s. in the pound, with a charge upon two patents he possessed as security, with Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. until all was paid. Could have had an advance on the patent of I £l,OOO. Mr. Bagley apprehended that he had entirely established a case that the debt had been contracted by fraud. The bankrupt began by avowing himself as having sufficient funds to enable him to take other persons' goods on consign ment while an uucertificated bankrupt. In February, 18.51, he ordered these goods, giving these gentlemen to under stand that he had an employer in one place, saying "we re gret the relationship has begun so badly; our employer com plains bitterly of the quality of the goods," and main "we are obliged to rebate 5 per cent. to our employer," making out that he obtained the goods for somebody else. The learned counsel then read as follows : " Adelaide-place, London-bridge, London. April 11, 1857. "Messrs. Lingeubrick. " Gientlemen,—We regret exceedingly that the relation between us should have begun so badly; our employer com plains bitterly of the quality of the goods, and with justice, for it is mixed with cotton, and is not pure silk. Besides, the pieces are so forced and compressed in the boxes that the quality and exterior of the goods have been much preju diced. We were obliged to rebate 5 per cent. to our em ployer; however, not to keep your bills any longer, we have accepted the odd £257 14s. 3d., while we will only accept £B9los. more, and that even only at three months, from the 20th of March, which will be the amount, in reckoning the 51 per cent. loss of the 5 per cent. before mentioned. — Obediently yours, '• " TRIIMA.N, PARSER, AND CO." The bankrupt had assumed the false name of Truman, Parker, and Co., because he knew that as Benjamin Parker be would not be trusted. His whole deeds during his life time were tainted with fraud, whether it were as a colonial merchant, a tea dealer, builder, architect, or surveyor. He now took his real name and came to the Court with this assumed story about the patents. lle called on the Court to refuse the application. Mr. Sturgeon remarked that he felt a difficulty In meeting tke case, from the extraordinary way in which it had been shaped. Here was an attempt to keep this unfortunate man in prison by raking up his whole conduct for the last 15 or 20 years. Mr. Bagley had chosen to give the go-by to all legal requisites, and began by opening a case with what might be called libel and slander, and goieg into the history of the life of the bankrupt. Who would venture to come to that court for protectien if they were to rake up 20 years of the life of a merchant of the City of London ? The ques tion was, if these parties were aggrieved, had they a legal judgment, showing he was in custody for fraud, upon which the Court could withhold the bankrupt's release. This had not been shown. If such matters as those gone into to-day were allowed to be discussed, any question might be asked; even if there had been a marriage with a deceased wife's sister, as suited the fertile brain ot the counsel. If the judge allowed his mind to be poisoned by such matter, who could get relief? The Legislature, in passing the Act of Parliament, never intended such matter to be gone into. As the bank rupt'sdesire was to assist his credito rs , h e as k e d th e togrant an order for his release. Court only His Honour said it appeared to him that the learned counsel had altogether forgotten one part of the object of the sra'ute, which was to give the Court a discretion—the Court might discharge the bankrupt if it thought fit. Having regard to that discretion, nothing could be so im portant for the Court to consider as the antecedents of the man im prisoned, and the probability from those antecedents of whether he wished for his discharge for the purpose of assisting his creditors, m it t o h r e s,or fro f m or bthaevinpg a full disclosure urposeofdoinghis utmost to prevent of his estate and effects. It was ,necessary to consider whether he was in prison under circumstances of fair conduct, ot whether he was a man whose life had shown, as Mr. Bagley hail very properly remarked (and his honour did not think it too strong an assertion), that he had been from first to last living by imposing on others, and obtaining credit without the smallest intention to defray his debts. It appeared the bankrupt hail under various names, assumed generally for the purpose of dse2p tion, been bankrupt three times; his certificate had been suspsuded and refused; and he had sent the circular which had been read, full of untruth, at the time when he was an uncertificated bankrupt sslieiting credit in the name of Truman and Co., while the bankruptcy under which the certificate was refused had been under another name. Was I', therefore, not necessary for the Court to know the ante cedents of such a man? Discretion was given to the Court that it might deal with such cases. It was therefore a mistaken view of the Act of Parliament to put it as simply question whether the debt was contracted by fraud or not. The question was would the man's antecedents justify the Court in believing for one rootnen t that which he then swore, that he desired to assist his creditors? His Honour believed that oath to be wholly untrue—quite as untrue as the gross falsehoods with which his conduct seemed to have been marked for several years, and his discharge would, therefore, be refused. As to the argument that the man was not in prison for any debt centracted by fraud ; he ad mitted that it should be shown that that appeared either in the record, the judgment, the pleadings, or in some equally unequivocal shape, on the precee4ings under which the bank rupt was in custody; but it was unnecevary to consider that. The defendant only desired his release for the purpose of evading his creditors; and therefore it would be quite idle to order his di.chlrge, for it would be doing irjustice to all the creditors if he were allowed to escape from custody upon any such pretence as that advanced. It was impsrtant the public should know the kind of characters by whom they wEeorgnesro imposed ba, b u is po i n io . no i n f r tl w m on detai ningbare creditor made som ha e dbeenan observa tions upon his giving credit so heedlessly to the bankrupt; foreigner, eans who was unacquainted with our l i h i st a u s s , n t h who t h t o v b a a l i s d a d a t r b e e l ie m d on t h o e f in statementsvest ga t in i g n the e c r , i rrcrunitab a r , a s n d a ' na'ive would have done; his intended observations would . not, therefore, apply. It was not to he tolerated that I foreigners should be victimised, and that such persons as the bankrupt should be permitted t o escape, to go and do s iik wise. The application for discharge would therefore be ref used. ..)ischarge refused accordingly. IN RE LAIDLAW. This bankrupt, Alexander Wentworth Laidlaw ' was a dealer in cigars, of No . 3, Bury-court, St. Mary-axe, and he now applied to p ass his examinatiosnhowonaccountos p re pared by Messrs. Hart Brothers, showing : To cr editors, £1,587; do. holding security, £t2s ; profits on trad ng, £1,812; liabilities, £212; de., being amount of debts of t ie firm of Broad and Co., of which I was a mem ber, which were compromised for Gs. in the pound, which I have since received, owing to the composition not being ful:y paid, £1,553. Debtors, good, £ 9 ; cilubtful £34; property, £l5 ; do., held by creditors, £36 ; trade expenses, &c., £.546 ; house, £537 ; losses, £834 ; deficiency March 1, 18.54, £1,316. Mr. Doria, for the assignees, in reply to the commissioner, stated that no trade assignees had been appointed, but the accounts had been approved of by the official assignee, and were vouched by the books, which were well kept. The official assignee (Mr. Graham) confirmed the state ment of the learned connsel, and The bankrupt passed, the certificate meeting being fixed for the 19th October next. IN RE CRESTERAIA.N. This was a sitting for the choice of assignees in the case of the bankrupt, a builder and contractor, of Banbury. A preliminary statement, prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner, exhibits—debts and liabilities, £2,000 ; assets, £1,200. Assignees having been chosen, upon the application of Mr. Linklater, by whom they were represented, a weekly allowance of 14 was ordered to b 3 made to the bankrupt. IN RE WILLSON. This was the first sitting under the bankruptcy of Charles Frederick Willson, a grocer, of 14, Munster-street, Reading. The prelitninary statement shows—debts, about X 1,800; and assets, £i3oo. Mr. Underwood, of Eastcheap, a wine merchant, was chosen trade assignee. Mr. Polk made the usual application for an allowance, which was granted. ASSIZE IN7'ELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WELLS, AUG. 11. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Watson.) THE NAILSEA CHILD MURDER. _ _ _ Elizabeth Card was indicted for the wilful murder of her son, James Card, at Nailiea, on the 27th of July. She pleaded not guilty. Mr. H. T. Cole prosecuted ; and, at the request of the learned judge, Mr. Prideaux watched the case on behalf of the prisoner. _ This was a very sad case. The prisoner was the wife of a hawker living at Nailsea, and some quarrel having taken place between her and her husband, on the 23d of July, she left her own home and went to her mother's, who lived at some short distance. She returned on the following Tuesday, but appeared to be very much afraid of going to her own home. She was seen by a woman named Ann Day, who lived next door, who spoke to her, and on saying, "Se you are come home," she replied, " Yes, but not for long, as my husband will kill me if I am not dead before he comes home." She then went into the house and closed the door, and was heard to go into an upper chamber. Very shortly afterwards Mrs. Day heard the .screaming of children, and on going into the house she found the prisoner on the bed with her throat cut, and her child lying on the floor in a pool of blood, quite dead, and with its throat cut. Mrs. Day immediately went for assistance, and on speaking to the prisoner she said, " I did it myself; it was not my hus band." To another witness she stated that she killed the child because she feared it would be starved, and that she wished the others were lying by her side. In the window of the room a razor covered with blood was found, with which it was clear the woman had killed her child, and attempted her own life. It appeared from cross-examination that the husband of the prisoner was a drunken, wor thless fellow, who treated her with great brutality ; t hat the poor creature was in the family way at the present time ; and that a per son with suicidal tendencies frequently destroyed these nearest and dearest before taking their own lives. Mr. Prideaux, in a pathetic address to the jury, urged that at the time of this unhappy transaction the state of mind of the prisoner was such as to render her not respon sible for her acts, and subsequently called Mr. Nicholls , th e surgeon, who had attended the prisoner since her commit tal, who confirmed this view. Mr. Cole having briefly replied on the evidence, the learned judge summed up; and the jury, after retiring to consider their verdict, acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. The learned judge directed her to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. THE DOUBLE CHILD MURDER AT CLEVEDON. Elizabeth Williams was arraigned on two indictments and on the coroner's inquisition, charging her with the wil ful murder of her children, Elizabeth and William John Williams, aged respectively 18 months and three years. She was accommodated with a seat in the dock, and during the proceedings covered her face with a handkerchief. Mr. Cole prosecuted; Mr. Prideaux defended. This case was, if possible, more melancholy than the last. The prisoner was the wife of a painter, residing at St. George's near Bristol, and it appeared principally from her own statement that on the 2d inst. she had some slight dis agreement with her husband. Unlike the preceding case, the prisoner and her husband lived usually in harmony and happiness, but on the day in question the p risoner fancied that her husband treated her less kindly than usual. On the morning of the 3d she got breakfast as usual for her hus band, and appeared to think that he treated her more kindly than the day before, when the disagreement took place about the payment of some taxes or some immaterial matter. After the husband had left to go to his work, nothing was seen of the prisoner till about two o'clock in the afternoon of that day, when she was met in Bristol by her father-in law, having met her with the two children. Some little conversation took place between them, during which the father-in-law observed that she appeared to be in an excited state, and she went on. About eight o'clock the same even ing she went to a small public-house at Clevedon, kept by a Mrs. Salmon, still having the children with her, where she had some refreshment and left. Nothing more was seen of her till about 11 o'clock the next morning, when a police man named Francis met her near Nailsea. Neither of the children was then with her, she had on no bonnet or mantle, her dress was very wet, and her manner was wild and ex cited. She told the policeman that she had drowned her two children at Clevedon, and that she wished to give her self up. She gave her right name and address and detailed the mode in which she had destroyed her offspring. In con \sequence of this statement the inspector went to Clevedon, and at the rising of the tide the bodies of the two children were washed up within a few feet of the spot the prisoner had indicated. The mantle and bonnet were also found at , the place at which she sated she had left them. The cross-examination of the father-in-law showed be yond all doubt that the prisoner had for many years been subject to aberrations of intell ct, and that her father, grandfather, and sisters, were persons of unsound mind. After hearing the evidence, the learned judge directed an acquittal, and the unhappy woman was crdered to be de li tained during her Majesty's pleasure. The business of the Somerset assize concluded this day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HOUSE.-- ll' 'Henry Hunt, 25, was brought up, on remand, charged with having embezzled between £5OO and £6OO, the property of his employer, Mr. Noel Whiting, colonial broker, 14, Mincing-lane. Mr. llodgkinson appeared fur the prosecution, and re minded the Court that on the former occasion he had gone into the cases of small sums embezzled by the prisoner, but there were numerous cases yet remaining. The Lord Mayor said it would be unnecessary to go into all the cases. Mr. Hodgkinson—l would occupy your lordship's time for a month if I were to do so ; but I will only take one other case similar to those already gone into, and then take some of the Custom-house cases, which are of 3 different character. Mr. Charles Smith—l am clerk to Messrs. T. Smith and Co., 34, St. Mary-at-hill, wholesale grocers. I know the prisoner at the bar. I recollect paying to him the balance of £lss. 11d. mentioned in the receipt produced, on the sth June, when he gave me this receipt. Mr. Noel Whiting—The prisoner has never accounted to me for this sum of 13155. 11d., nor is there any entry of it in his books. Mr. Hodgkinsou—l will now, my lord, go Into the Cus tom-holm eases, and shall deal with three which relate to sums of £97 03. 10d., £69 3s. 6d., and £59 lls. 9d. ; but I must first explain that the prisoner was what is called the Custom-house clerk, and that when there were any duties to pay it was his duty to fill up the bodies of the cheques for the requisite sums, and lay them before Mr. Whiting to sign—such a course being rendered neces sary by the extensive character of Mr. Whit ing's business transactions. In the case of the first cheque, for £97 Os. 10d., the prisoner should have paid £57 4s. 7d. for duty on sugar, £29 3.5. 6d. for tea, an d £lO 12s. 9d. on coffee • but instead of making these pay men t s he paid £2B 2.. 10d. on sugar, and £3B 10s. 11d. on tea and coffee—making a total paid of £66 13.. 9d., and show ing a deficiency of £3O 7s. ld. I must also explain that it was Mr. Whiting's practice, when the cheques were under £lOO, to leave them open, so that the prisoner might get them cashed, but when they exceeded that amount they were always crossed, the custom being to take them to the Custom-house, where they are changed for cheques on the Bank of England, and the proceeds are there carried to the Custom-house account. The duty of the prisoner was, whenever he had a cheque, whether open or crossed, to pay the full amount to the Custom house ; hut he had a sort of running account there, and it had been his habit, instead of doing so, to misapply a portion of the money so entrusted to him from time to time, and pay eft' occasionally with the cheques received from Mr. Whiting the deficiencies left on amounts if duty formerly due, instead of those for which the cheques were actually given, so as to conceal his defalcations. This has been going on since February, 1857, and the deficiency in the whole is very considerable. Mr. Whiting-The prisoner was in the habit of filling up cheques far me to sien. On the 13th February, 1857, I signed a cheque for £97 Oa. 10d. and gave it to the prisoner. It war his duty to get it cashed at the bank and pay the proceeds at the Custom-house. Tits cheque, according to an entry in the prisoner's handwriting, was fer duty on sugar, £57 4s. 7d.; on tea, £29 33. 6;1. ; and on coffe,e, £lO 12s. 91. On the 17th February, 1857 , I a l so s i gned a suga, r cheque for £69 3s. 11d. for duty, viz., £7T3s. 10J. for coffee, £3 184. 11d. for tea, and £5B ls. 2,1. f o r sugar . O n t h e 11th March, 1837, I a'so signed a cheque, filed up by pri soner, for £59 11 9;1., to pay for duties o n X'2s Hs. 11d.; sugar, £ 5 164. ld. ; tea, £l3 Is. 1 ( 1. ; t ea , £4 Is. 4;1. ; and coffee, Is. 4d. If any difficulty had arisen with regard to any of the items, it would have been his duty to explain it to me. The prisoner has charged himself with the payment of all the sums I have referred to in the cashbook. Cross-examined by Mr. Roscoe-All the items in the cashbook are in the prisoner's handwriting. Ile has been in my service about five years, and until recently I have bad no reason to complain of his assiduity. Mr. R. Lomer, clerk to Nless s. Hobart+ and Co., Lombard street, bankers-Mr. Whiting keeps an account at our house. The cheque for £69 3s. 11d. was paid by me en the 17th February, 1857, over the counter. The cheque for £59 lls. 9.1. was paid by a gentleman who is since dead, en the 11th March, 1857. he cashed the cheque for £97 Os. 10J. on the 13th February, Mr. White, another clerk at Roberts and C o. ' s, p ro ved that 1857. Mr. Hugh Piper Berna-d, teller in her Majesty's Treasury, Custom-house-It is my duty to receive moneys far duties plylb'e at the Custom-house. On the 17th February, 1857, I received on Mr. Whiting's account the stun of £6B 54. 4(1., but I cannot tell by whew it was paid. It consisted of £57 4s. 7d. and £ll 04. 9d. I did not, to the best of nay belief, receive any moneys on Mr. Whiting's account on the 13th February. Mr. Henry Poole, teller to the Treasury-On the 11th March, 1857, I received, in the name of Mr. Noel Whiting, for customs duties, a £5O note. It was for two sums of DO ss. 7d. and .E . 20 6:. makine. to ether 1'49 114. Ild. I gave the change, 10 Bs. id. Ido not kno a , from whom I received the money. Cross-examined -It is possible that some other gentle man might have received the sum on that day to make up the difference. pa ß id Y to M a r n . Mr. Hod g ki nson—We have a siateinent of the full ac count, prepared books will show it if it were prepared from the Custom-house books (now in court), which I "ill tut in, as it shows the whole deficiency. Mr. Goodman—y ou need not, I think, go into that. You have quite sufficient to mak e a case as i t i s. Examination resumed—The gentleman who received the money on the 13th February is not here. I made na ex- tracts from the bcoks on that day, as I did not know it would be required. There can be no difficulty in producing the books from the Custom-house, if required. Theodore Foulger, detective, City police force, deposed that on searching the prisoner's house be found a quantity of pwers bclongieg to Mr. Whiting. _Barnard, police-constable 578, deposed that he took the prisoner into custody, and that on their way to the station house the prisoner said, " I have done a very silly thing; I ought to have known better, as I have read so much about such things in the newspapers." The prisoner was then committed for trial. Received for the poor-box-ss. from " S. W." GUILDHALL.—A NEW DODGE IN HORSE-DEAL ING. Edward Stamford, a middle-aged matt, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Sir Chapman Marshall, charged with obtaining £5 under false pretences. Air. Huggins said—l went to the repository in Barbican yesterday to buy a horse, and after the sale the prisoner came up and said he had seen me bidding, but that I had not bought a horse, and he offered to sell me une. I told him I had been "sold" several times, and I did not wish to be " sold" again, upon which he assured me that I should not be "sold" by him, as I should take the horse home with me, in and Barbican,try it an ndyawaythen I liked. I tried th e h orse l ie h a d to sell asked him wh a t l ie wante d f or it, and he said £9. I said that would settle the matter, as I had not so much money about me. He said he did not ."Ilyaiveannstaedid my woul custom , p him £5 if as lie knew ic' h u' e nert w la o nin u d l ) ; w l g ants iv os e naet m iys e hte a lde stamped receipt, acknowledging that I was to pay the other £4 on approving of the horse, and if I did not like it I was to he the loser oflOs. He said he would give tne a week or a month to try the horse; hut I said a couple of weeks would be sufficient. I gave him the £5, and he gave me the receipt, and on getting outside he asked me to let the horse take home the cart as far as the London road, as it would not be out of my way to Rotherhithe. I accordingly consented, and he drove over to the London road, and when he got into his yard I beard him call out to his man, " What, he will not let the horse go without the rest of the money ?" The man repled, "No ; master says he will not let the horse go unless the £4 is paid." The prisoner then came to me and said, "This is a pretty business; the horse belongs to this man, although I sold it to you have a if l and you must pay the other £4 now, or you cannot e horse." I told him he had don e wrong i n se lli ng a horse which did not belong to him to return me the £5 I . paid him. He said, "It was not very likely he would do that, as he had spent £3 of the money." I then said I should seek the advice and assistance of the police, and ulti mately I gave him into custody. The horse was never taken out of the cart in my presence, and I never had possession of it. When I bought the horse be told me he had so many that he had not stable room for them, and he would there fore sell me that one cheap. I paid him the £5 believing the horse belonged to him. Cross-examined —l knew the prisoner very well by sight, and have beard him called Ted Bailey. The prisoner did not say lie bad summoned a man named Fletcher for a horse; neither did he show me the sumtnons until after he bad the money of me. He did not say lie would not trust me. Police-constable 228 M said—l took the prisoner into custody, and on the way to the station-house he told the prosecutor that lie should have neither the horse nor the money. At the station I searched him, and found on him five sovereigns. The prisYner said—The prosecutor came first with the policeman, and then left t o ge t t h e rest o f t h e money; b u t he changed his mind, and came back and gave me into Custody.. - The prisoner was then remanded, with permission to put in bail in two sureties in £2O each, and his own recog nisance In £4O. WEST M I NSTER.—TOLLS ON CHELSEA NEW BRIDGE. —George Ray, a toll collector on Chelsea New Bridge, was charged with unlawfully exacting toll there. Mr. Gilham appeared to prosecute the complaint, and Mr. Davis, from the Board of Works, for the defendant. Mr. Gilhatn, in opening the case, said that his client was Mr. Poole, of 87, Westbourne-street, Pimlico, who had a postchaise, by the direction of the railway authorities of the West-end or Pimlico terminus, for the convenience of a supe rior class of travellers. The Bridge Act specified that all postchaises should, on their return empty, be free from toll, notwithstanding which the defendant had, in his capacity cf collector, exardita the sum of 2d. from Mr. Poole's driver. It would be said, he had no doubt, by the other side, that the carriage in question was not a postchaise, for, according to defendant's expressed definition, it could not be unless the roan in charge of it wore breeches and top-boots, and rode the horse. Although Mr. Poole's man did not do this, it was nevertheless a postchaise, and so considered by the excise, who took post-horse duty for it. Joseph Hayden, the driver, having proved that the de fendant exacted the toll, Mr. W. Poole said he had stables close to the Pimlico station, and paid past-horse duty; he did not take fares like a cab, and was told by the excise that his was a post chaise. Cross-examined—Had no name or number on his car riage ; none was required ; was privileged to run from the railway; paid duty on the 15th of July to enable him to keep a postchaise ; there was no difference is appearance between his and a private carriage; did not ply as a cab without paying for a cabman's license; did not stand on the rank for hire like a cab. By Mr. Paynter—Pays £1 17s. 61. per quarter duty to the excise ; cabs pay a shilling duty per day. Mr. T. S. T. Talbot, superintendent of the West-end Railway, said that, being most anxious to get a superior class of carriages for West-end travellers, the complainant was privileged to come there. Such advantages were also afforded the public at the Crystal Palace, East Croydon, Brighton, and other places on the line. Complainant's car riage did not go on the platform; if wanted, it was at hand. Witness bad made inquiries of the excise, and found com plainant required neither ticket nor plate under the post horse regulations. He witnessed a demand made upon complainant's man for toll at the bridge by a collector, and then told him to shay,/ his postchaise license ; be did, but the toll was still exacted, on the ground that it was not a post chaise, as there was no man riding on the berse's back. With an earnest desire to set the matter at rest witness went to the office of the Board of Works, and there saw two gentlemen, named Crozier and Lambart, and the result was that the latter gentleman came to the terminus, had the matter fully explained to him, and then said he would give orders that no toll should be taken for complainant's empty carriage unless notice was given to the contrary, and so it went on for some time. A Middlesex magistrate had complained of the toll being taken for his postchaise, and when the toll collector found out he was a magistrate he gave the money back. By Mr. Gilbam—There had been no complaint of this description at Brighton or elsewhere; there had been no dispute about such a carriage being a postchaise. Mr. Paynter said complainant must mind he did not take up a job as he returned. Mr. Gilliam observed be did take care, for he would be liable to a penalty of VO. Mr. Davis could not see why witness should take so active a part in the matter. Mr. Talbot replied that it was his duty and interest to see that every accommodation was afforded passengers. He was now making arrangements for omnibuses to run to and from Paddington, in order to afford West-end residents every facility of reaching the terminus. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that every gentle man's servant who went over the bridge in a brougham might say it was a postchaise, for there was nothing to dis tinguish the complainant's carriage. He had had seven different jobs after IS o'clock over the bridge on Tuesday. Complainant plied at the station the same as a cab, and the cabmen complained very much of it. He did not keep his horse in the stable, but it was always ready. Mr. Paynter had no doubt cabmen complained because they paid ls. per day, and complainant only £1 17s. 6d. per quarter. He did not see complainant was bound to keep his horse in the stable. Mr. Davis said that the Commissioners of Works as trus tees for the public were desirous of doing their duty as far as they could, and had no right or power to forego tolls which they thought by law should be taken. He had con sulted the officers of inland revenue, and had taken the opinion of counsel, and was informed complainant was not entitled to exemption. Complainant had entered himself with the excise as carrying on his business at 87, West bourne-street, Pimlico, and therefore when he went with an empty carriage from the Middlesex to the Surrey side of the bridge he could not be " returning home." He (Mr. Davis) contended that this could not be called a post-horse and chaise within the meaning of the act ; there was no mark to distinguish it from a private gentleman's carriage, and this was nothing mere than competiti on b etween hi m an d the cabmen at the railway for fares. In truth, when he claimed exemption from toll, be was going to the railway in quest of a fare. Mr. Gilliam p - Anted out that he paid his pest-horse duty in the county of Surrey because his stables were there. He merely had apartments in Westbourne-street. He started with jobs from his stables, and returned there empty and was exempt. The hiring was made with complainant as job -master. The servant never took any money, save the post-boy, gratuitously. Mr. Paynter observed that a return chaise meant coming back from a job, and unless exempt, how could a post-master carry on his business? Tee question was whether tine was a postchalse, for, if so, and entitled to certain privileges, the complainant was justified in claiming them. Mr. Gilliam pointed out that there was no probabißy of the toll collector being imposed upon by his client's carriage resembling that of a private gentleman's, and by his net knowing who was exetup*, for the driver, when he claimed exemption, always produced his post-horse license. The ewe was adjourned for a few days, for the magis trate to sati fy his mind on some points. ROBBING RAILWAY PARCELS.—WiIIiam Strange, a carman, 10 years in the employment of the Great Western Railway Company, was charged with breaking open package belonging to the Hon. Ashley Ponsonby, and steal ing a portion of the contents. Mr. Joseph Aggerson, inspector of the goods department, stated the case. About 1 p.m. on Friday last Richard Green wood, a corporal of the ht Life Guards, was at a window of Knightsbridge barracks, when he saw prisoner stop his cart, undo a package, and take out a couple of brushes, of er which he drove on: The soldier immediately com municated with the Great Western Railway Company, and upon inquiries they found the package belongfd to the Hon. Aehley Poasotibv, and was being conveled from his town house at Rutland-gate, to his seat in Gloucestershire, where, on ifs arrival, several brushes were tni,sed. Mr.. them there. Aggerson went to prisoner's lodgings and found two of Prisoner was remanded. BRUTAL ASSAULT.—JOhn 0/Ven, en elderly man, was charged with a brutal assault upon Susan, his daughter, a woman 25 years of age. The evidence adduced proved that the defendant, who was intoxicated, rushed upon his daughter in Rochester row on the previous evening arid struck her several blows with a brass rod, one of which wounded her in the head and rendered her insensible ; her arm was also much hurt. She was taken to the hospital, and now refused to press the charge against he. father. Defendant said that he went to sleep, during which time his daughter took 10s. from him. When lie awoke tie asked her for it, and she only gave him half•a-crown back. lie thought that an amount of provocation justifying what he did to her. Mr. Pavnter observed that his dant:liter did right to take his money from him durinc , his drunkenness, and oueht to have beets commended instead ' of ill-treated. He would not part with defendant till she appeared, and should remand him for a week. He subsequently offered to take bail for his appearance. NIAR LBOROUGH-STREET.—CURIOUS CAB TICKET DECEPTION. —A cabdriver named Bates was summoned by Mr. Cherry, the veterinary turgeon and inspector of horses to the police. Mr. Cherry said he was passing along Oxford-street when the defendant plied him and drove up to the kerb. He told the defendant he did not call him ; but now he was there, seeing. that the horse in the cab was lame, he would ascer►ain what caused the lameness. He asked the defen dant for his ticket. The defendant gave him one, which he saw was not the right number. He told the defendant what he had discovered. The defendant said he bad wade a mis take ; be had been drivin g for two masters and had ov e n the wrong ticket. The defendant then gave him a second ticket, and he should have gone away with it had he not discovered, on a slight inspection, that the ticket was so manufactured as to allow the top number to come off, leav ing a difiennt number beneath. The top number was made of very thin paper, and it was attached so slightly to the substance of the paper that it would become detached on the least pressure. Mr. Beadon asked the defendant to explain the circum stances. The defendant said the ticket was just as he had received it from his employer. Mr. Cherry had reason to doubt this. The ticket had been manufactured for purposes of deception, and it was important that the public should be placed on their guard, and the matter further inquired into. Mr. Beadon said it was a matter of public importance, certainly, as the public principally depended on the tickets they received from cabmen in cases of dispute. The defendant gave such a lame explanation of the affair that Mr. Beadon said he would first inflict a fine for plying for hire ; next, he would detain his badge; and, lastly, remit his license to Scotland-yard for the commissioners to inquire into these deceptive tickets. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. Catherine Rich, a very respectably-dressed female, was charged with the following determined attempt at suicide : Polieessergeant Gummer, C said he was sent for by a chemist in Pultney-street, named Green, to take charge of the prisoner, who had attempted to purchase arsenic for the purpose of destroying herself. He took the prisoner to the station-house, and questioned her. The prisoner told him that she had been deserted by her husband, and then pleading illness, requested to be shown to a place of convenience. Her request was complied with, but witness feeling doubtful about her intentions, looked into the cell where the prisoner had been introduced, and discovered that she was black in the face and insensible. The prisoner had tied a handkerchief round her throat, so as to produce strangulation, and had she been left alone a few minutes longer there was no doubt she would have destroyed her life. The prisoner, whose husband is stated to hold a respect able situation in the City, expressed contrition for her con duct. Mr. Beadon said he certainly should not let her go until further inquiry was made. Remanded for a week. WO RSH IP-STREET. -- ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A DoxxEy.—Mr. D'Eyncourt was occupied a considerable time in the inve , tigation of an adjourned summons in which Edward Dillon, a police sergeant, 17 K, wrs charged with cruelty to a donkey belonging to a man named Joseph Parnell, a greengrocer, residing at Old Ford, who was formerly a policeman in the same division as the defendant. The principal officers of the division were present watch ing, the case, which appeared to have excited a high degree of interest. Parnell, the complainant, deposed, that on the night of the 26th ult., about 20 minutes before 12, while in his gar den, he heard the sound of a heavy blow, and looking over a fence to a piece of waste ground where his donkey was, he there saw the defendant strike the animal two other blows with his truncheon. The defendant, he said, struck the blows right forward " with all his vengeance," and after wards went into a neighbouring public-house. The donkey ran away at least 150 yards, and witness, when he brought it back, found the eye much swollen and bleeding, a bit being knocked off the eyelid as big as a shilling. The de fendant, he said, had a little spite against him, but lie did not know why, and believed it to have been his intention to kill the animal. It was moonlight at the time, and the moon shone full on the defendant's face. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you say anything to him at the time ? Complainant—l did not speak to him, because I would not have him say he bad locked me up, as be has said he would do. In cross-examination by the defendant's solicitor, the complainant said it was true that he was formerly in the police, and dismissed from it upon the defendant's report, but he had never threatened to do the defendant an injury. Policeman 460 K lodged in his house, be said, and had since been reported by the defendant. He admitted, on being pressed, that he went to the station-house to ask if the defendant had been near his house that night at the time he mentioned, because he had heard it said that he was not out before one o'clock. Policeman 460 K said he lodged in the complainant's house, and had returned home about a quarter before 12 on the night in question, his wife being unwell. He and Parnell were in the hack garden smoking their pipes, when lie heard the sound of a blow, and on looking over he saw that it was one of the police striking the donkey that was feeding there. He saw two blows struck, and the arm raised to strike again, when the donkey ran away. He thought by the appearance and voice of the man that it was Sergeant Dillon. Parnell said that it was, but he could not say positively that it really was the sergeant. In cross-examination, he said he had once been reported by the defendant, who was a very strict officer. He did not see any more of the donkey after it ran away, but his wife afterwards told him that it was cut. ...... Nathaniel Delaforce, foreman of the East London Water works, stated that he lived next door to the complainant, and at 10 minutes or a quarter before 12 that night he was a few minutes' walk from the place, when he saw the de fendant. Policeman, 59 K, said that, between four and five in the morning, the complainant spoke to him, and showed him the donkey, upon which he saw a slight mark like a scratch such as a nail might have made, but not such a mark as a truncheon would make. It was quite dry, as if not very recent ; the skin was not cut off at all, nor did there appear to have been an 3 blood. He had seen two women, 271 K. wife and another, drive the donkey towards the back door, and the complainant told him that he bad had " a row with his old woman," and went off to bed, and therefore saw nothing of the matter himself, but that he had two wit— nesses who did. The complainant being recalled again swore that be saw the donkey struck as already described, and knew that it was Sergeant Dillon, upon whose face the moon shone at the time. _ _ For the defence 127 K was called, and deposed that, at a quarter before 12, while on duty near Bow Church, he saw and spoke to the defendant, Sergeant Dillon, who could not possibly have been near the complainant's place, which is a mile and a quarter distant. Mr. D'Eyncourt, after some indignant comments by the defendant's solicitor, dismissed the complaint against the sergeant, with an expression of his opinion that it was un founded, and arose out of a vindictive feeling, and, in addi tion, he ordered a guinea costs to be paid to the defendant. CLERKENWELL.—THE ORGAN-GRINDING Nur hiANCE.-IM PORTANT DECISION.—A short hearty-looking Italian fellow, an organ-grinder, residing in the neighbour hood of Saffron-hill, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with playing an organ to the annoyance of Mr. S. Bishop, a gentleman and calculator, residing at 14, Malledon-place, St. Pancras. The prosecutor stated that last night, about eight o'clock, he was disturbed, while making some calculations, by the defendant grinding an organ. Ile went out, and found him playing in front of No. 5, and upon asking him to go away, and telling him that if he did not he should give him in custody, he at once desisted ; but when the ladies at No. 5 told him to go on, and that they would see him paid, he refused to go away, and was then given into custody. The clergyman, who also resided in the same house, complained of the noise and nuisance caused by the organ-grinders. He was at present engaged in making calculations in con nection with the metropolitan sewage question. Mr. Tyrwhitt inquired if the complainant was a house keeper or a lodger. Mr. Bishop replied that the landlady was a widow. Mr. Tyrwbitt said that the Police Act, 2d arid 3d Vic., cap. 47, sect. 53, which related to street musicians depart ing when desired so to do, referred only to householders. The words were as follows :—" It shall be lawful - for any housekeeper within the metropolitan police district, per sonally, or by his servant, or by any police-constable, to require any street musician to depart from the neigh bourhood of the house of such householder, on account of the illness of any inmate of such house, or for other reasonable cause ; and every person NlllO shall sound or play upon any musical instrument in any thoroughfare near any house, after being so required to depart, shall be liable to a penalty of not more than 405." According to the Act of Parliament, the meaning of the word " housekeeper" could be nothing more than land lord. Dr. Johnson's meaning if the word was, "master of the family," which he took to mean the landlord of the house. The defendant was entitled to the benefit of the landlady not having spoken to him. It happened to be the law, of which the defendant would have the full benefit, that the housekeeper, instead of the lodger, must complain; but he could rest assured that, if the cases were made out, be would inflict the full penalty of 40s. These organ grinders were brought over here by a parcel of hard hearted fellows, who drove the poor people out of their homes, and sold them as sieves to annoy us. The pedrone who hired these men, and who made a for tune out of them, ought to pay the fine. .An other curious point in the case was, that the ladies at No. 5 had asked the man to play his orean. He has no hesitation in saying that a person who had sickness in his house, or wanted quietness for the purpose of study, has a perfect right to object to noises in the neighbourhood, notwithstanding that other persons might like thee]. That p Ant would never avail with him, for a foolish or ill-natured neighbour, just for the purpose of annoyance, would tisk the organ grinder to step. If they wanted music they had better fellow it to where it could be played without annoy ance. The defendant would new be discharged ; b u( lie had better be careful how he was broue lit there again ; for on the next occasion he might be charged by the proper person. The parties then left the court. SOUTHWARK—EMBEZZLE ENT BY A CONFIDEN TIAL SERVANT.—James Cooke James, a respectable-lo,k ine young man, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with embezzling various sums of money the property of Messrs. Cory & Son, extensive coal merchants, of Com mercial-road, Lambeth, his employers. One of the firm attended anti said the prisoner had ben some years in their employ and in their confidence. On Thursday morning last the prisoner suddenly absconded, which caused them to examine the books, and they then found that he was deficient in several items. It was his duty to receive money from the customers and account for it to them. On discovery of the robbery they gave infor mation to the police. Sergeant Broad, 23 L, said from information he re ceived, he went to Vauxhall Gardens, and saw the prisoner dancing along with a female. Witness went up to him and told him he was charged with robbing his employers, acid then taok him it4lo custody. Prisoner denied the charge, stating that the money was all accounted for. The g . entleman who attended for the firm, stated such was not the case, and requested his worship to remand the pri soner, in order to have the books further inspected. Mr. Cumbe said it was a case that required further inves tigation ; under these circumstances, he should remand the prisoner till Monday next. TAMBETIL H —APPREENSION OF A BUROLAR. — Geo Seth Morris, a veung man, was charged before Mr. Elliott by Sergeant Coppin, a detective officer of the P with having bee n found in Albany-road, Camberwell, in the emt piny of ;mother man named Edward Phillips, who has been convicted on the charge, on suspicion of being there, for the purpose o f committing a burglary. Coppin stated that, on the 7th of June, he w ee in the Albany-road with a gen tl eman w h e n he saw the prisoner gain,gain,along the road w ith a ma n whose name is Edward Phillips. Another man came up at the time, and they all went away: Witness followed them some distance when he saw that he was observed by the prisoner, who ran away and got off. He seized hold of Phillips, who c:-as taken to time station-house. He was there searched, and upon him were found 13 skeleton keys and a chisel. He ( Philli p s ) w as tried and ,convicted, and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. He was now in prison. He (the officer) had aot seen the prisoner till that day, when he saw him at this court. He informed the prisoner that he the COM. was . going to being tyke him into custody in consequence of 111 party of Phillip. He (prisoner) said that be knew nothing at all. about Phillips. Mr. Elliott—ls Ihe prisoner known ? Coppin Yes, sir. He is the constant associate of thieves, hon , ebreakers, and the worst of characters. I be lieve'be has been tried. Toe prismer stated that the officer had seen him re neatediy since Phillips was taken into custody. He has hi?.en seen constantly by him at the Elephant and Castle, where he is repeatedly. The officer said that he wanted the prisoner h: fore Phillips was tried, as be wished to produce him at the trial. He has never seen the prisoner since Phillips's conviction till that day. Remanded. Eleanor Cobnan, a good-looking yeung woman, and respectably dressed, who was described as a tirestnaker, living in Tiverwa -street, Newington-causeway, was brought up in the cus!oly of Sergeant Coppin, from Winchester Gaol, charged under the following circumstances : Mr. Solomons attended for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that about the beginning of last month, between seven and ten o'clock at night, the house of Mr. Marshall, of Grosvenor-park, Camberwell, was broken open, when: a quantity of wearing apparel and other articles were stolen. Oa the sth of July last, as Mrs. Marshall was passing the shop of Mr. Jolland, dyer, New ington•causeway, she saw a silk dress, which she identified as belonging to her, and to be part of the property stolen on the night in question. S e gave information to Coppin, who sooa ascertained that it had been left there by a woman named Conden, in whose house the prisoner lodged. Ile went there, and from the description given of the person who had given the article to the woman Conden to leave at the dyer's to be cleaned, he suspected that it was the prisoner, who was then in Winchester Gaol. The prisoner's landlady statei s timt the prisoner had occu pied an apartment in her house about three months, and that she was a dressmaker. In answer to Mr. Solowons, she stated that about eight weeks ago she left the dress - at a dyer's to be cleaned. The prisoner had worn it three or four times in the daytime. Coppin said that he took the prisoner into custody that (yesterday) morning, about seven o'clock, as she was leav ing Winchester Gaol. He had searched the prisoner's lodgings, and found there a large roll of cloth, a gold watch and chain, five gold rings, and twe shawls. Mr. Elliott—What was she in prison for ? Officer—l believe on a charge of being in the company of another female when a lady's pocket was picked. She says she was not guilty. Mr. she say anything to the charge? Officer—Yes, sir; she said that she bought the dress in Petticoat-lane, and that she could ac coun t f ir every thi ng I took away. I also found four pawnbroker's tickets, one for a geld watch, pledged for 10s., and one for a gold &c. , Mr. So!mons said lie could not see how the prisoner could be connected with the burglary. She could account for the possession of every article found by the officer, and was desirous of giving him every information. The prisoner was remanded. THAMES.—MURDEROUS ASSAILT.—Henry Barrett, a dark and dirty-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with committing a violent assault on Catherine Sullivan. The complainant, a dissipated-looking woman, said she had been cohabiting with the prisoner for three years, and he had frequently beaten and kicked her. He was once committed for four months by one of the magistrates of Worship -street for " jobbing" a pipe into her eye, the sight of which was nearly lust. On the previous night she had just brought home food for her two childreL, when the prisoner came home drunk, and heat and kicked her. He threw her down, and endeavoured to strangle her. He hit her about the head and face, and she was covered with blood when the police came in and interfered. She really believed the pri soner would murder her if he was not restrained, but she did not wish to punish him. Mr. Selfe—l won't consult your wishes • . --- The prisoner in defence said - that he and his "wife" were both drunk on Tuesday, and that they always fought when they were in that state. His " wife" had sent him to the hospital several times, and some time since she brok e hi s arm. He came out f the hospital only a few weeks ago. Mr. Selfe read a certificate put in by the prisoner, and said he had not been treated for a broken arm. Sharper, police-constable 450 K, said he found the woman Sullivan weltering in her blood. She had been terribly punished. The man was drunk, the woman was sober. Mr. Selfe said a more wretched and unhappy couple had never come before him. He sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.— George Abbott, a man about 31 years of age, a shipkeeper, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged with burglariously break ing into and entering the Folly House, a well-known tavern at Milani', Poplar, and stealing therefrom IGO in money belonging to George Blamire, the landlord. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution; Mr. Beard, solicitor, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that on the night of Tues day, the 3d instant, the house was secured, and the bar par lour and cupboards were fastened up in the usual manner, and particular attention was paid to the bolts of the cellar flap which opens outwards. The flap was bolted, and appeared to be quite &cure. At about half-past eleven o'clock or a quarter before twelve o'clock, the inmates retired to rest. On the following morning at six o'clock, when the potman went down stairs, he discovered that the house had been entered in the course of the night. The bar and bar parlour were in a state of great confusion, and various things were strewn about the floor. The potman immediately alarmed his master and Mr. Blamire's mother, when they ascertained that an entrance had been effected by forcing up with some in strument one of the boards of the cellar flap, which was in a defective state, and unfastening the bolts. The thief or thieves had then easily descendeu into the cellar, and walked up stairs into the bar. A cupboard in the bar parlour had been forced open, and an old box containing X6O in gold, three £5 notes, and a cheque for L 9 10s. removed. The box was broken open and all the gold abstracted. A soldier's pouch containing the notes and cheque had been carefully examined, " fumbled up " again and thrown upon the floor; indeed, the burglars were particularly cautious in not taking away anything that might lead to detection. Half a box of cigars, some brandy, and other articles were missed. The prisoner bad been for some time employed as ship keeper of an old and disused steam-vessel called the Diamond, lying in the river off' the Folly House. The pri soner was a frequenter of the house almost daily for several months, occasionally seating himself for hours in front of the bar, and was acquainted with all the internal arrangements of the Blamire family. The prisoner was in the house on the evening of the 2d inst., and left rather earlier than usual. On the morning of the 3d, after the burglary and robbery had been discovered, Inspector Thomas, of the Thames police, was called in, arid he immediately suspected the prisoner'. Two house breaking implements had been left by the burglars in the bar parlour of the Folly House. They were delivered to the inspector, who went on board the Diamond and saw the prisoner and his wife. The inspector produced the implements, and said to the prisoner " Do you know these tools ?" The prisoner's wife immediately replied "Yes, I do; my husband has had them in his possession a long while. The prisoner raised his hands, and said to his wife, " There—l told you," and stopped. Inspector Thomas asked the prisoner what time he was on shore on the night of the 2d, and his answer was that he was not on shore after nine o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Emily Hebden, the wife of a lighterman, and residing next door to the Folly House, saw the prisoner on the Folly Wall at half past 11 or a quarter before 12 o'clock on the night of the 2d. The prisoner was accompanied by his wife and two men, and they all got into a boat, and proc,eded towards the Diamond steamer, moored in the stream. On a Sunday morning in June, Mr. Blamire and a friend were in the cellar upon business, and the prisoner, taking advantage of the flap being open, jumped into the cellar, and Mr. Blamire was compelled to give him a glass of spirits before lie would leave it. None of the money had been recovered. Mr. Young asked for another remand, and said he should have additional evidence to produce at the next examination. Mr. Beard contended there was no evidence against the prisoner, who was a very respectable and honest man, and that he ought to be discharged. Mr. Selfe observed that it was impossible to shut out from the case what the prisoner's wife said when the officer pro duced the housebreaking implements. The evidence was slight, but .he could not discharge the prisoner, whom he should remand on bail until next Wednesday. Bail was put in by the prisoner's brother. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE UPON AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN. —James Chem. Henry Fraser, a black seaman, was brought oefore Mr. Selfe, upo n a warrant, i n the custody of Foay, a police officer, No. 7 }I, charged with being concerned, with five other men of colour, in assaulting and wounding Capt. Samuel Annis, the master of the American ship Satellite. Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, of Arbour-square, S'epney, said that the defendant was late able seaman and boatswain of the Satellite, on a voyage from America to Calcutta and London. Oa the 3i st of last month the complainant appeared in that court on nine summonses taken out by the defendant and eight other coloured mariners for wages earned at sea. He (Mr. Fletcher) took an objection in linzine that the ship Satellite sailed under American calours, that the captain was an American, and that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in the case. His objection was allowed by Mr. Yardley, and all the summonses were dismissed. The captain was leaving the court, and was proceeding towards his (Mr. Fletcher's) office, when the men of colour, who were very much irritated, commenced abusing the captain, pushed him into the middle of the road, and committed a most atrocious and cowardly attack upon him. The defendant Fraser first knocked him down, and then kicked him; and as fast as he got up was knocked down again and kicked about the head and face, and wou!ti have been certainly murdered but for the prompt aid of the police and officers of the court, who instantly arrested three of the assailants. The captain r,turned into court with the blood streaming from his wound', and very much injured, and lie was spitting blood for several hours afterwards. Two of the offenders were fined each ; and the third, who could not be identified, was discharged, and warrants were granted for the apprehension Fraser and others, who escaped. He trusted that under the -triumstances, and as the captain, a stranger, was grossly assaulted while leaving an English court of justice, the same penalty would be inflicted on the defendant as was inflicted on his confederates, and that as he had used the most diabolical threats towards the captain, he would be bound over to keep the peace. The ship was seized on a bottomry bond on her arrival here, but all the men except Fraser and another, who was out of the way, keel been since paid. The outrage and threats were proved by nume rous witnesses. The defendant said he had left the court before the affray commenced. Mr. Selfe said there was an overwhelming array of evi dence against the prisoner, who was concerned in a gross outrage. He fined him or two months' imprison ment, and further ordered that he should find sureties to keep the peace towards Capt. Annis and all her Majesty's subjects for three months. • CRYSTAL PALACE.—As part or a system for en abling the public to judge of the excellences of the various military bands of the country, the band of the 47th Regi ment (now quartered at Aldershot) will visit the Crystal Palace to-morrow (Friday), performing in the palace and grounds a selection of popular music. The 47th acquired I much distinction from its service in the Crimea, where its band was held in high repute. In common with other real tnents of the line, the uniform of the musicians is whi.e, and most of them are decorated with the war medal. SERIOUS RIOTS IN IRELAND.—We learn from a contemporary that seriousriots have broken out in Kilkenny. Infuriated mots are traversing the country, smashing agri cultural machines, and assaulting their owners. The magis trates held a meeting at Stoneyford, and resolved to petition Government for additional police and military. [ AD VERTISEMENI.]-110110V7Uy'S Pills. The L ver, that large and important viscus which secretes bile. and transmits it to tho duo denum and gall bladder, is exposed to serious and sometimes fatal derangements. It is necessary, therefore, to watch carefully the first symptoms. A pain on the right side of the belly, and on the top of the right shoulder, much uneasiness in lying on the left side, a dry cough, aid difficulty of breathing, arc among the diagnostics or signs that the liver is more or less affected. For all disorders of this vital organ, Holloway's Pills are a specific, by checking the over srpply of Bile, regulating•its due secretion, and giving tone to the stomach, they effect a speedy and permanent cure. STAT 11 OF TRADE, (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCH ESTER, August 10.—The mat ket for both yarns and goods is generally reported as somewhat quiet to-day, with a continued tmdency, however, as regards the bulk of the production, to harden in price. This has latterly be come a feature of the market. Buyers have operated cats tieusly, hesitatingly, and with a constant restriction upon quantity, yet the sum of what they have done has kept swelling in re!ation to the production, until it has evidently become fully equal thereto. In yarns, at least, this is the present position, all the way from 40's down to the lowest number of mule and water; and even as to goods at large the production is needed, and taken off, though with less spirit than that of yarns, and hence it is that manufacturers still command lees satisfactory terms than spinners. It is gratifying to find that, in the face of supplies tra versing the ocean and reaching Bombay and Calcutta, so immense as to alarm many on this side, the prices of yarns and goods in those markets were well sustained under a s eady (imam), according to our latest advises, so that the merchants in Manchester are still buyers to almost any extent at the rates of a fortnight back. Sellers, however, have gained firmness, and indeed raised, in sotne degree, their very inadequate quotations, so as to make a practical difference of Id. per lb. against purchasers. Merchants connected with other foreign markets are gradually acquiring increased confidence and doing more business bode in goods and yarns. At the same time, the promise of a good harvest in this country is bringing an increased number of customers into the home trade warehouses, and thus augmenting the purchases from manufacturers, not yet largely, indeed, though sen sibly. Tne German houses are receiving good accounts of the crops and the state and prospects of trade in most parts of the Continent, and are, therefore, continually giving orders to spinners, not large ones, individually, but reach ing a large aggregate. A like statement may be made respecting the Italian and Levantine buyers of yarn and cloth. Thus, the tendency is in favour of spinners and manu facturers, though not equally as to both ; and it is none the worse, as regards permanence, that the improvement is singularly slow and seemingly inadequate, seeing how the demand compares with the production. The terrible col lapse of prices in the latter months of 1857 has, however, placed credit in a conditiou which keeps down speculation very effectually. Any rapid rise would create alarm, and be followed by an injurious reaction. Moving upward very slowly and by an almost insensible glide, rather than by marked steps, confidence evidently grows, and oar footing is felt to be comparatively sure. Taking water and mule yarns at large up to 40's, we may ta te that, as compared with this day week, sellers have practically gained upon buyers an average d. per 1b.,. though it does not, in all cases, show itself in the shape of an addition to quotations. Two-folds, about 40's, have the same tendency. The spinners of 60's and upwards labour with hardly any success to mend their terms. There is yet too little demand for their articles, although the Bradford manufacturers are selling somewhat more than they were. The indications for the better in fine single yarns (100's and upwards) do not yet go beyond here and there au offer too low to be accepted, and some small signs of improvement in the menufactures of Natingham, which, however, can hardly be mentioned without producing an exaggerated im pression. We have already spoken of goods for India. For other descriptions there is a steady demand, and prices are quietly hardening. (From the Wolverhampton Chronicle of yesterday.) THE IRON AND COAL. TRADES.—The iron trade gene rally remains in much the same state we last reported. The leading members have reduced merchant it on 10s. per ton, but this has not imparted any very sensible impetus to the trade. Merchants are ordering cautiously and in small quantities, in the expectation that prices may yet further recede. There seems to be a want of unanimity in the " first houses" of the trade; some few of them met a short time ago at Birmingham, and agreed to reduce prices without giving the others any notice of their intention of doing so; the result is that a little indifference pre vails, and parties seem to be left to use their own discre tion as to what price they shall sell at. What the con dition of the trade may be two months hence it is impossible to conjecture. It is thought by some that as there is every prospect of a bountiful harvest, and also of favourable weather for its gathering, trade generally will brighten. The fact of stocks of merchant iron being small, and the bareness of stores in the States of almost all kinds of Staf fordshire iron, lead some parties to suppose that there may be an improvement after harvest. Pig iron still rules dull, and the make is being reduced. The dispute between the colliers east of Dudley and their employers on the ques tion of wages still retnai , :s unsettled ; several meetings have been held, and a determination has been expressed by the colliers to persevere in their demand for ss. per day. Some few, however, have yielded to the request of their masters, and ultimately the whole must go in. The new tunnel belonging to the Birmingham Canal Company, more imme diately connecting the collieries west of Dudley with those on the east side, will be opened on the 20th instant, and the various ironworks at Tipton, Oldbury, and West Bromwich will be more readily supplied with coal than they hitherto have been, and will consequently be less dependent upon the caprice of their men. Good qualities of gubbin and white ironstone, the yield of the district, are realising 16s. per ton ; considerable quantities of red hermatite and other ores are being brought into the district, but they do not sensibly affect the home produce. An order for about 90,000 tons of rails for India has come into the market, and it is said that the Ebbw Vale Company have taken a con tract for 10,000 tons out of this quantity at a low figure. Other Welsh firms have contracted for about 20,000 tons, and the remainder of the order will be executed in York shire and the north. BIE,TIIS.
