MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—(This Day.) PICKING POCKETS—. — A IeUCE.Y ESCAPE. Ann Moses and Eliza Thomson were indicted for picking the pocket of Mrs. Putnam. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners entered the shop of the prosecutrix and asked to be served with some plums. Mrs. Putnam measured the fruit, and then the Prosecutiix, by accident, put her hand into her pocket, and missed her purse, which she had but a few minutes before placed there. She 'told the prisoners she had lost her purse, but they said, " Oh, you'll soon find it." They then quitted the shop, but feel ing certain that they knew something of the robbery, she sent the errand boy after them, and in a few minuteS they were brought babk by a policeman, but upon being searched nothing was found upon either of them. They had, how ever, during the time between leabing the shop and being taken into custody, entered a publicliouse called the " Wood man," for a Short time. Notwithstanding the most rigid search, the purse was not found. Mr. Payne , told the jury that they must, before they found both prisoners guilty, be of opinion they were acting in concert. If they were of opinion that the robbery had been committed by one of them only, but they were uncer tain which, the safest way would be to acquit the prisoners. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoners were then indicted for stealing a purse, the property of Mrs. Brown, in. Portland-place. The prosecutrix said the prisoners came up to her as she was passing along Portland-place. Thompson asked her if she knew where she could find an eye doctor. During the time ehe was talking to the prisoner she supposed they robbed her. She was informed by the police that two women were in custody for picking pockets, and on seeing them she identified thorn as the persons she he had spoken to in Portland-place. It was 20 minutes after the prisoners left her that the purse was missed. She was sure the women were the same. • The Clerk—Ara you agreed, gentlemen, as to your terdict ? Foreman of the Jury—Yes, we find the prisoners at the bar " Not guilty, and are very sorry for it." (Laughter) Mr. Payne—l never find fault with the verdict of a jury, but I cannot understand how you could come to such a verdict. Foreman of the Jury—We are very sorry. We think they are thieves—they look like it—.(laughter)—but we could not find them guilty. There was nothing clear. (Laughter.) Mr. Payne—The result of the verdict is, that two very clever thieves are let loose again in London. Foreman—We know it, my lord. (Laughter.) We are sorry we could not find them guilty. Mr. Payne—lt appears that Thompson has been out of gaol but a short time. The Foreman of the Jury—We very much regret we could not find them guilty. We have no doubt about their being thievei, but we could not clearly bring the present offense home to them. Mr. Payne (addressing the prisoners)—You've had a very lucky escape. I hope it will be a warning to you, but I'am afraid you'll both soon be here again. Prisoners—Oh no, your Worship ; you'll never see us again after this. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(TMs Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CASH Box ROBBERY BY ERRAND BOYS. Charles Stacey, 16, William Pallett, 14, and Robert Irwen, 16, three errand boys in the employ of Mr. Walter Bullock, tin-plate worker, of 16, Rupert-street, were charged as follows : The prosecutor said that for some months past he had lost various sums of money from his cash-box, and although he had tried every means to detect the thief, he had failed to do so. Yesterday morning, having missed 75., last night he marked one half-crown, one two-shilling piece, two shillings, and eight sixpences, and put them in the box and locked the drawer in which the box was deposited. This morning, in consequence of what his son told bins, he went to the drawer, which was still locked, and on opening it and looking at the cash-box, he missed one shilling and two sixpences. Ho then taxed the prisoners with having taken the money, but they denied having done so. He then sent for a constable, who on searching them found on Stacey a marked shilling, and on each of the other's a sixpence. He had frequently found a difficulty in getting the key into the lock, as if some one had been tampering with it. Walter Bullock, son of last witness, proved seeing his father mark the money, and keeping a watch that morning, and when no others were present but the prisoners, hearing the cash-box rattle, and then informing his father. Sergeant Walker, 15 C, said, on searching the prisoners, he also found, besides some - of the marked, money deposed to, a set of dice on Stacey, and another set on Irwen. The prisoners denied they had taken the money. The prosecutor said he had treated them all with great kindness. Mr. Beadon said he should send them for trial, but at present should remand them. THAMES. ROBBING A POOR WOMAN OF }MR GOLD.—Mary Keefe, an Irish girl, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing two sovereigns. The prosecutrix in this case is a poor and industrious T_iishwoman named Ellen Keefe, no relation to the prisoner, and residing at No. 68, Lambeth-street, Whitechapel. The prisoner was destitute, and Mrs. Keefe, with that generosity so characteristic of the Irish people, took pity upon her, invited her to her house "to take the bite and the sup," and found her some needlework. On Mon day night the prosecutrix had two sovereigns in the house, which she placed in the pocket of her...gown, and hung it up on a nail in her bed-room. The prisoner slept in the same room. Yesterday morning Mira. Keefe missed her gold, which she described as two bright yellow sovereigns, which she had saved for many a long day. The woman dock labourer, and He vehemently a fi o r o s u t s s o u d sp h ec in ted l w h i e th r h s u te s a b l a i n u d g , i l i v e h r o m is on a ey. protested his innocence, and the woman then accused the prisoner with having stolen her "bright gold," and a police-constable, named Hall, 127 H, was .called in. The prisoner declared she had not stolen the money, and asked the policeman to send for the high priest, that slfe might take an oath that she was not the thief. She was conveyed to the station-house and searched by Mrs. Brad ley, female searcher, who found a sovereign in each of her boots. Before they were discovered she declared, in the most solemn manner, that she had never seen . the money. After Mrs. Bradley had taken the sovereigns from her, she asked her to overlook it and keep the money. Mr. Selfe:--D o you plea d guilty or not guilty, or do you prefer being sent for trial ? The prisoner —I have got no father or mother, and no one to direct me, sir. I WAS never here before, and don't know what all this means. Mr. Sere- * Th en you say you are not guilty ? - The prisoner —To be sure I am. Mr,Self—Then you axe Committed for trial, THE PRESERVATION OF THE DEAR The process patented be M. Falcony, a French chemist, for embalming and preserving dead bodies, _ ' though it has for several years been in use in some of the principal cities on the continent, has but re cently been introduced into this country, and even yet it is little known, if at all, beyond the limits of the medical profession. It is probable, however, that the highly successful result of an experiment which took place yesterday at the Grosvenor School of Medicine will not only establish its efficiency among the me di ca l authorities of London, but will lead to its general use throughout the country. The preparations of M. Falcony are of two kinds —one, a fluid, intended to preserve the body from decay for an indefinite period, and the other a powder, designed to prevent decomposition for a consider able time, or to arrest active putrefaction if it have already commenced. Both processes were subjected to an examination yesterday, but it was to the latter, as being of greater importance and utility than the other, that attention was chiefly directed. The subject of the experiment was the body of a man who died of erysipelas on the 21st Sept. It was taken to the school °lithe 24th in an advanced stage of putrefaction, the head and face being greatly swollen and discoloured. The trunk was also much decayed, and it was pro nounced by Dr. Halford, the lecturer on anatomy, to be totally unfit for dissection. On the following day, the 25th, M. Falcony commenced his operations, which were conducted in the presence of several gentlemen of considerable professienal eminence. He covered the bottom of the coffin with his powder to the depth of about three inches —on this the body was placed, and then covered over with the powder mixed with sawdust as a vehicle. In about 10 minutes not a trace of the offensive smell remained, and when the body, was uncovered yesterday, after a lapse of between three and four weeks, it was found to be in the same con dition as when it was put into the hands of M. Fal cony. The powder had arrested the putrefaction and none of those present were sensible of any unpleasant odour. A hand, into which a small quantity of the fluid intended for the permanent preservation of the dead had been injected some weeks, was also pro duced. The skin still remained white, and no smell was emitted, although the hand had been placed in water and subjected to other conditions favourable to decomposition. Dr. Halford congratulated M. Falcony on the successful result of his experiments, which proved that his invention was of the highest value, and might be made extremely beneficial in a sanitary_ point of view. M. Faleony delivered a short address in French, in which he referred to the cordial reception he had met with in England, and expatiated upon the advantages which his discovery was calculated to confer on mankind—first, by the prevention of those innumerable contagious diseases which result from the miasmata emitted from dead bodies in certain cases ; secondly, by preserving the remains of deceased persons for the inspection of friends and relatives residing at a distance ; and, thirdly, by subserving the purposes of justice in cases of suspected poisoning. He did not pretend, he said, to have brought this interesting department of chymical science to perfection; what he had done would be surpassed by others; but it faut frayer le ehemin, and in the meantime we ought to avail ourselves of the advantages which society might derive from his studies. There were present on the occasion Dr. Halford, Dr. Harley, Dr. Richardson, Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Thudieman, Dr. Luther Holden, Mr. Spencer Wells, Mr. Pittard, officer of health for Chelsea ; Count Arrowbene, M. Romani, Mr. Banting, upholsterer, of St. James's-street, Mr. Lawton, &c. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TuEsDAT.

The Council of the Society of Arts having at the recent examination awarded certificates of merit to 10 of the students in the Manchester Mechanics' Institution, these honours were distributed by the Earl of Carlisle, K.G., on Monday evening, in the lecture-hall of the Institute. Mr. Oliver Heywood, president of the institution, occupied the chair, and there were present—Mr. Mackie, the mayor of Manchester ; Mr. Harvey, mayor of Salford ; Sir E. Armitage, Sir J. Watts, Mr. Fairbairn, C.E., F.R.S. ; Mr. Bailey, Professor Greenwood, P r i n _ cipal of Owen's College ; Mr. L. Horner, the Rev. W. Gaskell, Mr. J. Heron, the Rev. Canon Richson, and many of the members and friends of the insti tution. The CHAIRMAN said it was proper to enhance— if the presence of such an assemblage as this could enhance—the gratification and distinction of the victors in the recent competition for testimonials of proficiency. At the same time those who had been unsuccessful were not to be overlooked. Many of them were men of considerable talent and ability ; they were present as generous witnesses of their competitors' distinction, and they were also dili gently preparing themselves for the renewed con. test of next year. They needed not to be told that disappointment was the way through which most men had attainedsuccess. (Applause.) What would have been the position of this institution itself had its conductors been unmindful of that encourage ment to perseverance ? (Cheers.) Referring next to the merits of the educational experiments which are in process all over the country, and to the' ob jection that superficial knowledge of a variety of subjects was lik e l y t o b e encouraged, leading young students to pride theMselves upon having a mass of general information while their solid acquirement was really nothing to boast of, he said his own experience led to the conclusion that it was rather the emptiest than the fullest brain which was also the vainest: (Hear.) The late examination, the third under the auspices of the Society of Arts, was the first in which members of this insti tution had competed. There were about 1,000 candidates for examination, of whom this institution sent 36. Of that number eight failed to pass the preliminary examination, and 10 out of the remainder gained 19 certificates. The total number of papers sent in by the 28 was 47, many of the suc cessful candidates having entered themselves for examination in several subjects. The simpler and more useful subjects were not passed by for the higher branches of study; for the preliminary ex aminations were passed by the 28 with great credit. There might, however, have been some aiming too high ; for, while there was but one paper in chemistry, one in practical mechanics, and one in book-keeping, there were seven in geometry and eight in algebra. It was reassuring, however to perceive, on analysing the results, that those who competed in a:plurality of subjects had been suc cessful in a fair. proportion. (Applause.) In con clusion, he expressed liisgratification at the circum stance that there was no longer the appearance of secession from the institution on the part of young Members as they became older, . and the directors were seriotisly considering how to provide a more social *and enduring intercourse among their intel ligent constituency. (Hear. hear.) Mr. R. RUMNEI7, the - chairman of the class com .mittee, stated that the educational department of the, institution' consisted of three divisions. First, were the female dacla‘, - .6ses, which were commenced many years. ago, fop- t i de purpose of giving a sound practical, education, to the daughters of adult mem bers of the artic; dn claSs: These classes were very successful, P.:dd they now contained as many as could be accoir :modated. There were at present 200 girls and Toung womerlreceiving daily instruction from 134- teachers, 10 of whom had received almost their 'entire education in the institution. (Hear, hear.) Occasionally the directors had been disappointed in the strangers whom they had engaged as teacheis, but they had in no case been disappointed in thosel whom they had taken from the elgoszas teacherS of the younger members. The boys' department had only been establiShed since the opening_of the new huilclitig.TA person who sent his sons' to the itistltu tion had declared.that for a subscription of 17s. a quarter, including-membership, they were receiving quite as good, if not better education, than they had got at a school for which he had paid £l2 per annum. The directors had no intention of compe ting with other schools, but aimedsimply to supply the want of a school in a middle position .between those charging 6d. Or. ls. a-week, and those Whose terms ranged from one to three guineas a-quarter. There were 220 boys in attendance, and their classes were conducted very efficient*. In the evening classes an alteration had been made. The plan of conducting them formerly was to teach the Members individual,. Now the collective system was adopted, and by a. proper subdivision of the members of those classes, and a frequent use of the black board, several advantages were gained. The directors had great faith in the use of the chalk and black board ; they believed there could be no effi cient teaching of large classes without very gene ral use of them, and in their selection of teachers they had had special regard to ability in handling these two instruments effectively. In Mr. Angell, the principal of these classes, they had secured a man who could use both chalk and black board with remarkable results, and such as he (Mr. Rumney) had never witnessed before. (Loud cheers from the junior portion of the members.) Tie Earl of CARLISLE was received with loud cheers. He expressed much pleasure in having this opportunity of paying his respects and homage to old acquaintance. (Hear.) It was now—he feared it must be confessed—above a quarter of a century since he paid his last visit to the members of the Mechanics' Institute of Manchester. He was de lighted to find how much more handsomely and commodiously the members were now accommo dated, and he did not see why they should not all enter into an engagement with each other to meet 'again at the end of another quarter of a century. (Applause and laughter.) At the end of that time, no doubt, it would be impossible for any room to contain their greatly augmented numbers short of the great Free Trade-hall. (Cheers.) He heard the most favourable reports of the progress of the institution and of the benefits it had been privileged to confer upon the impor tant and populous district in the heart of which it was established. A most pleasing thing it certainly was to find that in a town like Manchester, the foremost town in all the world for mechanical in- vention and ingenuity—which invention and inge nuity could not be better represented_ than _by the eminent gentleman near him, Mr. W. Fairbairn— (hear)--.--that in such a town, absorbed necessarily to a great extent in material pursuits, there was suitable provision made for the intellectual and mental, and higher qualities of our nature. Among the many institutions in the city having this elevating mission in view, there was every reason to believe that t`le Mechanics' Institute most cre ditably anti laudably performed its part. He learnt that, besides the general arrangements of a me chanics' institute—its reading and news-room and its library of books—they had female day classes, which, at the period of their last report, contained 219 pupils, besides whichthere were persons giving their attention to special branches of instruction— such as music, dancing, drawing, modelling, French, and even millinery—no doubt an important pursuit in its way—(laughter)—a number of persons which, with the day classes, raised the whole number to 441 ; that the evening male classes were attended by no less than 813 stud en t s ; an d th a t th ere were classes for boys, which comprehended 166 pupils. He believed these last classes had only been nine months in operation ; they were now increasing, and with a longer period of time before them they would show how well they could earn their honours. When ke heard the statement of Mr. Rumney he he really felt that he had been labouring under great disadvantages in his own education, never 6 having had th e advantage of being taught by means of the chalk a n d bl ac k b oar d (l a ughter and cheers) which lie learned was such an efficient instrument ; and he doubted it not, for he saw its many recom mendations in the education of the rising genera tion of this day. He found there was attached to the institution a Working Man's College, which he trusted was destined to confer solid ad.vantageson the great working communitN - of this town. average . apprtehhaenndteed remedy thati t Refer ence had been made to the shortness of h periods of membership.eto He regret was much more a this. Men wo uld not be driven to the fountains of knowledge and of entertainment. The example of Li ver pool—he did not know whether he might say a l so of Manchester —must be followed ; fountains must be so placed and arranged that by their cool ness, freshness, and sparkle they might allure passers by to their purifying streams. (Applause.) The directors and members must study how to make their institution attractive and amusing—he almost shrunk from using that word—but he meant " cosy" —(laughter)—as well as dignified and instructive. If it was thus furnished with all the attractions. which, consistently with its character and constitu tion, it was capable of, the directors would not then compel but induce people to come to and maintain their connection with it. This bore upon the ques tion of the propriety and advantage of keeping up as much social intercourse as possible, and the friends and members of all such institutions would show great wisdom in promoting sueli a spirit of good, fellowship and maintaining as much esprit Ile corps as possible. He rejoiced that the institution still continued to be managed by directors elected by the meinbers_from their own body, for that wai the way, , he was _confident, of giving satisfactioif and inspiring interest. They had been told that of Stewards' Cup. Once round. Bourgeois.. • • . 1 Simpleton 2 Maid of Derwent LIVERPOOL AUTU3 Forfeits to be declared on the Course at Chester, ai RN CUP.

Fine. dry qualities were in fair request, at fully Monday's currency, but low and damp parcels moved off slowly, on former terms. Only 1,830 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand this week ; but the supply on the stands, ex granary, was rather extensive. Although the trade ruled very in • active, prices generally were supported. There was a slight improvement in the demand for float ing cargoes.

From the above fact, and a description of the corpse we have hastily gleaned, there can be little doubt but that it was that of a young woman, a servant girl, w h o left i her situation on Rose-hil l n a very mysterious manner, and without assigning any cause, on The night of the sth ilia'. Her strange disappearance, coupled with the knowledge that she had told another servant, residing in the next house, of her intention to drown herself, caused the greatest anxiety to be felt respecting her, and search was mad e i n every _.direction, but without any result. The body found this morning- is evidently that of the unfortu na t e ereature.- , StasolExpress. the 28 candidates from the institution at the recent examination of the Society of Arts 10 succee d e d and 18 failed. Though failure could never be looked upon as a pleasing subject for comment, he et did not think it to be regretted th a t th ere should, par ticularly at the outset of such examinations, be a certain proportion of failures. They showed that the work was done in earnest—that there was fno sham about it. He had frequently been present at " show" meetings of institutions and educational academies, when prizes were to be conferred. To see a certain number conferred at the beginning was all very gratifyi ng ; b u t h e h a d f oun d case s . which the lists of prizes were not got through un til every boy in the school had been includ(d. (Laughtei.) . This might have been very gratifying to parental feeling; but .he was sure that all pre- sent would agree that such a system took away till the. real value and honour of such distinctions. Those young per Sons—he supposed they were mo itly se —upon wlmm were to be conferred honours that evening, he would cordially congratulat2 upon thtir success ; and he would earnestly exhort them to pursue the honourable and laudable career upon which they seemed to have entered. Upon you all (continued his Lordship), both on those up in whom I am about to confer these well-earned marks of honour and distinction, and those who have laud ably, although not in this instance successfully, en gaged in the struggle—l would endeavour to iin press this :—That wherever your after destinies may carry you, the work of education, properly so considered, does not terminate with the classroom, or the professor's lecture, or the institute. (H ea r . ) Every succeeding day of your life may add to your knowledge, and every passing moment of your time, which is more important still, may prom?te your personal: improvement.) (Applause. Strive by every means in your power, my young friends * to attain to the highest degree of usefulness to the generation in which you live. (Applause.) This is an aim and an ambition which all men may laud ably.and lawfully propose to themselves. But at the same time, while you strain your utmost en deavours to attain the highest degrees of useful ness, be content with any opportunity you have of being useful, even in the humblest way, for this is what Gol has to decide for you. (Hear, hear.) The statues of Watt and Dalton adorn one of the noble spaces in this town, but it is not every one of you that can hope to be a Watt or a Dalton, any more than it is given to any set of men to become Shak speares or Miltons. '; For not," as the poet says— " For not to one, in this benighted age, . Is that diviner inspiration given . That glows in Milton's or in Shakspeare's page— The pomp and prodigality of Heaven." (Applause.) But because we cannot attain to the very brightest and most immortal chaplets of lite rature, that is no reason why the common, smooth, and current paths of literature and of knowledge should be neglected. (Hear.) All cannot be at the very summit of the mountain or at tke top of the tree. The aristocracy of genius is still more limited than all the other aristocracies, whether of birth, or wealth, or personal strength, or beauty. But the aristocracy of virtue, which may not, I fear to say, contain a really larger actual number of persons, yet has this peculiarity in it, differing from all other aristocracies—that it may be co-ex tensive with all mankind; and it is our own fault if we do not each of us make one of that peerless aristocracy. In one word, my young friends, Ido not know how many of you, or if any of you, may be destined to be great ; but I feel confident that every one of you, if he will only make a conscien tious endeavour—if he will only, in so doing, rely upon the Divine assistance, every one of you may be good and happy. (Loud applause.) The noble earl then proceeded to distribute the certificates. The following is a list of the successful competitors, with their occUpations, employers' mantes, &c.:— H. Varley, packer (J. Lomas and Son), arithme tic; J. Lowe, turner (Hetherington and Sons), arith metic ; C. Chapman, engineer (J. Gilroy), mechani cal drawing; M. Bibby, warehouseman (Schnuck, Souchay, and Co ), French language ; S. Davie's, bookkeeping (Sharp, Stewart, and Co.), arithmetiC, bookkeeping, German language; E.

Wads worth, engineer (W. Muir and . Co.), mensuration and mechanical drawing; J. Pogson, weaver, book keeping, geometry, mensuration, algebra. The meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the Earl of Carlisle and to the chairman of the meeting, THE PUBLIC HEALTH. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.) The deaths registered in London rose from 993 in the previous week to 1,149 in the week ending Saturday, October 16. In the 10 years 1848,57 the average number of deaths in the weeks corres ponding with last week was 1,020 ; but as the deaths of last week occurried in an increased popu lation, the average should be raised in proportion to the increase for the purpose of compariSon, and in this case it will become 1,122. The number actually returned exceeds the calculated lumber by 27, and as the average is rather above that which would result from ordinary causes (for the cholera of two epidemic years had not entirely ceased iii the second week in October), it will be seen that the mortality as shown in the present return is decidedly high. If the rate of mortality last week had not•bcen higher than that which has been ascertained to prevail during the last quarter of the year in the healthiest districts of England, the deaths would have been only 770 ; but they were 1,149, and the excess which they exhibit over the healthy stand ard may be considered as that part of the mortality which is due to acquired conditions of inidubrity in London. Pulmonary complaints become more frequiit; the deaths from bronchitis and pneumonia, which were respectively 32 and 21 in the preceding week, were last ♦week 71 and 64. Scarlatina makes constant progress, and has now attained a not doubtful pre-eminence among diseases of the zymotic class. The weekly deaths from scarlatina since September the 18th have been 123, 134, 145, and 160 ; 20 deaths are returned as caused by it in Marylebone, 13 in St. Pancras, 10 in Lambeth (chiefly Kennington), 9 in Camberwell. The present mortality from this complaint is double the average, and it is much greater than that of any corresponding week' of the last 10 years, except 1848, when the deaths rose to 188. A widow died on the 14th inst. at Eagle•place, Mile-end, who is believed, on what appeared to the registrar to be reasonable grounds, to have lived to the age of a hundred years. Two women died on the 12th inst. from want. Last week the births of 912 boys and 855 girls, in all 1,767 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 the average number was 1,497. ANALYSIS OF• METROPOLITAN WATERS. The waters of the metropolis have been analysed during the month of September by Dr. Robert Thomson, F.R.S., of St. Thomas's Hospital, mid have been found to possess the composition stated in the subjoined table. For the sake of comparison the water about to be introduced for the use of the inhabitants of Glasgow is prefixed, the composition of which approaches that of distilled water.

The barometrical readings varied from 29.25 in. to 30 . 09 in., which point the instrument attained on Thursday. The mean temperature of the week was 531 deg., which is 2.5 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average till Wednesday ' and on the last four days it was from 5 deg. to 7 deg. above it. The lowest temperature was 39.7 deg. on Tues day ; the highest 69 deg. on Saturday. The entire range of the week was therefore 29.3 deg. The mean daily range was 171 deg.
