MR. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD, M.P., AT HORSHAM. HORSHAM, WEDNESDAY. The annual exhibition of fat stock in connection with the Horsham Cattle Show took place this afternoon. In the evening a dinner was held at the Black Horse Inn, at which Mr. S. Fitzgerald, M.P., presided. The hon. gentleman was supported I by the Hon. Capt. Wyndham, M.P., Sir C. Bur rell, M.P., Mr. S. Cave, M.P., Sir J. H. Pelly, Mr. P. Burrell. Col. Dickens, Major Drew, the Rev. F. Vincent, Capt. Pipon, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, Mr. FITZGERALD, M.P., said—The next toast I have to propose is " The Army and Navy"— (cheers) I —a toast which is always well received in every 1 assembly of Englishmen, and particularly so at this moment, looking to the exploits which have marked the course of our army in India. Above all, at a time like this we are sure of seeing this toast well received, when we know that if those who have been so often our defenders both at home and abroad are called to fulfil their duties to their Sovereign and their country upon some foreign shore, there exists such a spirit of enthusiasm in the country as will assure us that Great Britain would still possess many a bold heart and many a sturdy hand, able and wil ling to fight for their hearths and the liberties of their country. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is, I think, a salutary rule at all public meetings such as this, that what are called political questions shall be avoided, that is to say questions which can by pos sibility raise discussion or create difference of opinion at a meeting which ought to be marked by a gene ral accord of opinion. But Ido not think that I shall at all infringe upon that rule if I make an observation or two upon a matter of public import ance, and yet a matter upon which there can be no difference of opinion among all classes of people. We are possibly, I am afraid, entering upon troublous times. After long years of general and happy peace there seems to be such an uneasy feeling abroadthat men's minds are full of the anticipation of war. Now, lam not an alarmist. lam not one of those who think it possible that there should be an inva sion of this country. On the contrary, I believe the present ruler of France for a long time has shown an earnest desire to cultivate an intimate alliance with this country. (Hear.) Long may that alli ance subsist and endure—(cheers)—and I cannot conceive it possible that it should be in any danger. (Hear, hear.) Heaven knows that on this side of the water there is no man le ho does not feel that anything like hostilities with France would be the greatest national calamity which could befall us. (Hear, hear.) I believe that equally among the people of France the same feeling is commonly entertained. Such, at all events, is my confident opinion, and I believe that I have very good reason for entertaining it. Surely, then, upon the part of the Sovereign of France personally there can be no desire to enter into anything like a quarrel with this country. Let him for one moment consider what his position is as ruler of France in alliance with this country. So long as France and England are combined what coalition is there possibly on the face of the earth which could give a moment's anxiety either to the one Power or the other. (" Hear," and cheers.) It is not only that, but so long as we are combined our commerce must increase, and we fetter the whole world in those chains which 1 believe to be more firm, more enduring, and stronger than any others which you can fancy in political life. Nothing in point of fact can be better or more durable than the fettering together of nations by bonds of com mon interest and association. If this, then, be the position both of the people of France and the ruler of France, what reason can there be to anticipate anything like a rupture of the amicable relations which have so long subsisted bet ween this country and our French neighbours ? Still less, what is there to give rise to that panic of invasion which has been so common throughout the country of late ? At the same time I think it not only the interest but the duty of every man present, and of every man who loves his country, to contribute to the utmost in his power to that movement which, I am happy to say, has been so general throughout the country, and the object of which is to improve and increase, by voluntary means, the defences of the country. (Cheers.) This, at'least, I may say, that no man here can forget that which we now feel to be a want is that which was pointed out by a man who was the greatest warrior of his age, and one of the most distinguished politicians and states men of this country—namely, the late Duke of Wellington—as an imperative na tional necessity. 'Therefore I would ask you, not as the result of a sudden panic—for that would be beneath our dignity and beneath our position, as England is strong enough to defend 'herself, and she need fear no man—but I would ask you when yoar attention at any time is called specifically to that which is known to be a great national wan t— namely, the want of' a complete system of national defence, whether you would not be wanting to yourselves and the people at large if you did not do all in your power to put the defences of the country upon a satisfactory and sound basis. (Hear, hear.) I have availed myself of this opportunity of making these observations because I consider them germane to the question of the army and navy. lam sure that you will receive the toast with that respect which is due to it, with that tribute of admiration to which the exploits of both services entitle it, and I am sure you will not be the less satisfied, if our gallant defenders should be called abroad, to know that you have still left among you those ready, if necessary, to shed their blood for the honour of the country. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk amid loud cheers, and was briefly responded to by Major Dimly. Sir J. H. PELLY proposed the health of the mem bers for the western division of the county. The Hon. Captain WYNDHAM, M.P., in respond ing, alluded to the remarks of the chairman in reference to the national defences. He said we had for many years prided ourselves on being superior to any other nation in our navy, and he was su-e they would all agree with him that it was of vital importance that we should still hold that posi tion. We were a nation naturally fond of peace ful employments, as their meeting there that day proved; but they would not be able to pursue those employments with the same energy and effect if they were not at peace in their own minds at home, and nothing would contribute so much to en sure a continuance of peace as the possession of a large and efficient navy. (Cheers.) With regard to the army, he begged to remind them that of late years many salutary improvements had been car ried out in that service. The campaign in the Crimea afforded cenvincing proof that reforms were needed; and though many reforms had been since introduced he trusted that a desire to effect still further reforms would continue to prevail. Above all, it was necessary to raise the tone and the moral and social condition of the soldier. 'We could not, like Continental nation?, at a short period call to gether large numbers of men by conscription. Our system was that of voluntary recruiting, but it yielded a far more able, because it yielded a willing servant. (Hear, hear.) He believed that that sys tem was fully adequate to supply all the require ments of the country, provided that we put the sol dier upon a better footing by raising his social status and position. (Hear, hear.) The reforms which had already been effected since the Crimean campaign had done cinch to raise the tone of the army, and if we continued the same course he should have no fear of the result whenever we might be called upon to meet an enemy, whether abroad or upon our own shores. The chairman had told them that he was no alarmist, and that he did not join in any apprehension of an invasion. He (Captain Wyndham) confessed that he entertained thu same opinion. He believed that if our troops were called upon to act at all it would be in an indirect manner on the continent of Europe; but, at the same time, though there might not be a cause for fear, there was every cause for precaution. Upon that ground be hailed with deep satisfaction the volunteer movement. He believed that the moral effect which that movement wcuid produce upon the Continent would be immense. It would show the despotic Powers that a free country like this had no occasion to rely alone upon its Government to defend, it, but that, if occasion required, the population were ready to come forward en masse to resist aggression. (Cheers.) If the volunteer movement now commenced were carried out judiciously it would b - , a great blessing The only evil th at cou ld result from it was that it might induce the people to look lightly on the regular army. In his opinion the volunteers ought to be regarded as the adjunct of the army, and not intended in a n y way to ta k e the place of them asY It was necessa r y a ls o t h at tho volunteer s should be. enrolled in battalions and taught something beyond shooting. A man might be a very good shot, but unless he knew what military men called " his right hand from his left" he would be of very little use to a general. (Hear, hear.) lie . was glad, however, to see the ardour which was being dis played, and he had no doubt that in the end the movement would be attended with all the success that could be desired for it. (Cheers.) Colonel DICKENS proposed, " The Health of the Members for the Rape of Brim cmlor." Sir CHARLES BUE.RELI„ r.p., beiefly responded. Mr. S. GANT, M.P., also acknowledged the toast. Fe said he took a different view of the duty of a member of Parliament from that which was gene rally taken. Of late, constituencies were rarely satisfied unless their representative were perpetu ally getting up and speaking in the House of Commons. His own opinion was that a large majority of the hon. members who adopted that practice had much better sit still and hold their tongues (laughter)— because by unnecessarily occupying the attention of the house they did a' great wrong to the country, by taking up time that would be much better occupied in other ways. He had had but a short experience in the 1-louse of Commons, but during that time he had learned to be really positively afraid of the voice of one or two hon. members. (Laughter.) Sidney Smith once said " Life has been disagreeably abridged since the Flood, and it is very difficult to master more than two subjects." Nevertheless, there were some hon. members who spoke upon every subject brought before the house, and very recently one hon. mem ber told his constituents, in the pride of his heart, that hardly a debate had taken place last session, lupon any subject whatever, in which he had not taken a part. (Laughter.) The course pursued by the hon. member might have been very satisfactory to his constituents, but could not have failed to be extremely unsatisfactory to the house itself. (Hear, hear.) With regard to agricultural meetings of this nature, he looked upon them as most admirable in stitutions in making different classes known to each other, and inducing them to get rid of the re serve common to Englishmen. Already such meet ings had done their work beyond all expectation in improving the agriculture of the country. He had seen it stated the other day in one of the London papers, as a thing just discovered, that the British farmer was an intelligent man, and that the manu facture of the food of the country must really have something of science in it. His own opinion was, that the enterprise of the manufacturing districts was nothing as compared with that of the agricul turists, who absolutely sent half round the globe for manure for their fields. (Cheers.) Some other toasts were given, and the proceed ings, which were enlivened by the musical talents of Mr. Bruton and a party of glee singers, were brought to a close. 2HE NAVY. No. 1 transport, the Thunder, sailed on Tuesday from Greenhithe, laden with a heavy cargo of war and Commissariat stores for China.

The following general order relative to the sur vey of regimental stores has just been issued from the Horse Guards : " The General Commanding-in-Chief, in concur rence with the Secretary of State for War, having been pleased to direct that, whenever the number of troops at a station permit it, boards of survey should have an officer of another corps on them, and a military store or commissariat officer like wise, officers commanding regiments and depot bat talions are enjoined, whenever it is necessary, to assemble a band of officers for the inspection of re gimental clothing, necessaries, arms, saddlery, equipments, &c., either received or proposed to be condemned, to apply to the General or other officer commanding on the spot to appoint one officer from any other corps in garrison, and a military store or commissariat officer, according to the nature of the stores, to be members of the board.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF PIRACY.—The purser of the African mail steamer Ethiope reports from Teneriffe that on the 24th November, at 9 p.m., a boat containing Captain George Walker and four men of the American schooner William was left off that port by the French barque Rose Marguerite. Captain Walker, with his boat's crew, shortly afterwards landed and made the following statement before the Captain-General of the island an d th e British and American Consuls, which has been corroborated by his men.—He left Savannah on the 24th October, in the United States' schooner William, with a crew of 13 men and two passengers, females, bound to Smyrna. He had also on board 27,000 dole. in cash and some bales of silk. Four days after leaving he experienced bad weather from N.E., which compelled him to w eer S.S.E. for 40 hours, as far as lat 20.10 N. On the 21st November the schooner was in lat. 30.16 N., long. 20 W., when ho spoke the French barqne Jenny, of Marseilles, bound to Martinique; and, as his provisions had been damaged by the bad weather, he hailed the barque, launched his b oa t, an d accom p an i e d by f, air of his crow, ho boarded her in search of a fresh supply. The mate, meanwhile, was left in charge of the schooner, and was ordered to)veep her close astern of the Jenny. Captain Walker had made ono journey to and from the barque, but on his returning to the schooner a second time the mate made all sail, and completely abandoned him with his four men in the small boat. He made every effort to give chase, but darkness shortly afterwards set in, and the schooner was lost sight of. On the following day they were picked up by the French barque Rose Marguerite, Captain Brusson, and left. near Teneriffe, as stated above. In the protest which has been entered by Captain Walker before the Consuls he swore that from the proceedings of those on board of his schooner after he le , t her, which he could partly see during the four hours he was in chase, he believed that the mate, whose name is T. J. Walton, intended to make away with the vessel, and get clear off with the 27,000 dole., which was in Spanish doubloons. The master of the Rose Marguerite had addressed a letter to the French Consul of Teneriffe, and stated that he had nicked up Captain Walker and four of his crew in a small lioat at sea. Capt. Walker and his crew, whose names are Chas. Hunter, Peter Lynch, Frank Joseph, and Jthn Raylars, arrived in Liverpo o l as passeng ers b y th e steamer Ethiope,i which also brought the boat in which Captain Walker and his men had been s [ tAnvE publishedn r sE E n x e N 'r y abandoned. illustrateda i. — fir , tTe L et a u do d n g Ludgate-hill, watches x l e l . sh, (freeh a m r e ho P a l di Benson,n be h o by post for two stals), about buying a watch, as it contains prices and important information as to—What watch to buy I where to buy it I and how to use ik [ADVERTISEUENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— - Rheumatism, Gout, Neural g i a .—Th e damp weather corn preyailing at this season renders the above disease. almost endemic.

THE SUN, LONDON LA TV INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 14. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE AYLWARD. The bankrupt was a wine merchant of Doctors'- commons. This was the examination meeting. His liabilities are about £2,200, assets returned at £250. __ Mr. H. Harris opposed for the assignees. The case was only noticeable from the remarkable de meanour of a witness, Mr. Peter White Aylward, a brother of the bankrupt, described in the balance sheet as a gentleman of Sunbury. He tendered a proof against the estate for £998, and gave evidence in the following style : Mr. Harris—What are you, Mr. Aylward ? Witness—lndependent of everybody in the world. (Laughter.) Mr. Harris—How long have you been indepen dent ? \Vitness—l shall not give you the date, unless the Commissioner requires it. Commissioner—You must answer the questions put to you. Mr. Harris—How long have you been indepen dent ? Witness—Upwards of three years. Mr. Harris—How did you acquire that indepen dence ? Witness—That is my business. That is a very impertinent question. I have £BO,OOO or £40,000; and it is a very impertinent question how I got it. I came into £1,200 when I came of age. Mr. Harris—How long is it since you were a clerk to Mr. Leveridge, wine-merchant ? Witness—Upwards of three years. Mr. Harris—And what have you been since you were his clerk ? Witness—lndependent of everybody, living as a gentleman, with plenty of property. You cannot alter my position. (A laugh.) His Honour again interfered, and recommended the witness to demean himself with propriety. Witness—Am I to answer this man's questions ? lamof no profession whatever. lam independent of every man in the world. (Renewed hughter.) Mr. Harris—l must trouble you to explain what that means ? Witness—l mean that I can live without busi ness. I am independent of business, and have plenty to support me. Am I not right, my lord ? (Great laughter.) Mr. Harris—ls it a fact that you married some elderly lady after you left Mr. Leveridge ? Witness—l did marry a lady. Mr. Harris—And her property is settled upon her, is it not ? Witness—Not at all. Every farthing of it is in my possession. 11 H • - -ur. _anis—l am very sorry to hear it. (Laughter.) Witness—l dare say you are. (Great laughter.) Mr. Harris—Do you keep any books ? Witness—What is that to you ? (Renewed laughter.) The Commissioner again interfered. Witness—Why should I keep books when I am out of business ? I have the items of the amount advanced to my brother (producing a sheet of paper), I swear that those amounts were lent ac cording to those dates, and £2OO more than that. I know lamon my oath. Jam speaking the truth. I would not speak falsely for £50,000. His Honour again. expostulated with the wit ness on his unbecomi ng conduct. Witness—l am happy to give you every account in my power. Of cows° I was happy to assist my brother. I would have let him have £lO,OOO with pleasure. Mr. Harris—This account, which you produce, has been torn out of '3. book ? Witness—No, it hm,s not. Mr. Barris—:W hat book has it been torn out of? Witness—No book at all. It is an old leaf. The account is there. I swear solemnly that every farthing has been advanced, and £2OO beyond that. Mr. Harris—WhGn did you make out that ac count ? Witness—Some tirae ago. I could not tell to a day. Mr. Harris—lt see ms to have been all made out at one time? Witness—Yes, of course. (Laughter.) All ac counts are. (Laughter.) You don't suppose I did it some on one dtv and some on another. (Laughter.) I was not ten minutes in making it out. Mr. Harris—Where aid you copy it from ? Witness—Oh, I can: recollect pretty well what the items were, This kind of cross-fiing was kept up for about half an hour, the witness displaying the utmost volubility. He indulb.ed in a variety of charges against Mr. Irving, the trade assignee, and ad. mated that he had swept off the bankrupt's pro perty under .a jud,gmen t obtained some time before. Mr. Harris—Does the furniture remain in the house still P Witness—\o; certarzly not. I have given it away. Mr. Harris—To whorl have you given it ? Witness—Oh, that's my business. (Laughter.) I will take my oath I have not received a farthing for it, and I shan't tell you to whom I gave it. I gave it to a person. ( Renewed laughter.) It be longed to me. I shoo Id like to know who has; a greater right to give a thing away than the per son to whom it belongs. (Great laughter.) A second volley of culaarges against Mr. Irving ensued. Mr. Harris—Now aft e r this furniture business, what was re6olved upon 2 Witness—l struck the , docket, and I said if it cost me £lO,OOO I would srurtiih up the affair, because I would not see a brother c e mine fleeced. (Laughter.) Did you pay £lO stanip duty on filing the peti tion ? I shan't tell you. (Renewed laughter.) I've got, nothing out of the a fair. I have given the fur niture away. I have not received a farthing's bene fit. I only did it for my - brother's sake. Whit were you in 185 7 1 ?—I was then a clerk. At what salary ?—I v on't tell you what salary I had. I divided my sal s.ry in various ways, and I shan't tell you anything ;about it. (Laughter.) His Honour thought the examination was pro ceeding unnecessarily ini;4) Mr. Harris explained that it was necessary to ascertain the witness's position at so early a date, because, according to th a account he had handed in, the first advance to E is brother of £l5O was made in 1851, and possi 6 ly it might turn out that he had not such an amoua it at that time. Witness—Well, now, l , ok. here ; if you are deter mined to go into the c atter, I had upwards of £l,OOO in the Bank of E 3 gland, sir, at that time — (laughter)—aye, and in my own name, too; and that was a long time bef ore I was married. (Great laughter.) I never took : t. 7.1 I 0 U from my brother, nor any interest. I only wanted to assist him. Mr. Harris—Well, but. 'that judgment, you know, was rather an adverse pt.( K eeding. Did you do that to.assist him ? (Laught a r.) Witness—ln 1859 I mght it better to have security, and my brother( fered me either a bill ofsale or a judgment, and I tool c the judgment; but I did not do it because I was t.% ?raid of the money. ])o you think I did ? (Laug i ter.) What do I care for the money ? (RI-mewed :laughter.) Why, I don't care that (snapping hi ; fingers) for it. (Great laughter.) I took the juddgment so that I might come in for my share i v ith the other creditors. They have had enough o F my money as it is, and I suppose wanted more. 3..4 y brother had no money of his own. My monc n r has paid everything.. (Laughter.) The credit ors have done nicely as it is—oh ! yes ; they've doi le capitally. (Laughter.) After a few more skir cc tishes of a similar charac• ter his Honour admitted, the proof, but adjourned the examination of the b a nkrupt. ASSIZE INI:ELLIGENOE. NORTHERN CIRCI J IT.—YORK, Dec. 13. (Before Mr. Jut= .1 •ice Wightman.) John Reed, 37, was in d icted for the manslaughter of James Nolan, at Sheffi Id, on the 10th Oct. last. _ _ . , . Mr. Maule and MB r. 1 ackburn prosecuted, and Mr. Price and Mr. S. 1) ... Waddy appeared for the defence. The prisoner was the i n ember of a brass band in which he played the con tc peen, and whose head quarters were at the Dru Ids Tavern, Bailey-street, a publichouse kept by the! prisoner. On the night of Monday, the 10th of Oc rt ober, after a tour of the neighbourhood, the band stopped before the Fox and Duck, a tavern opp o site the end of Bailey street. They then retl a rued to the Druids, and on their way had to ps tss a tavern kept by an Irishman named Moil, sy. A troop of Irish rushed out on the band, and a general fight en sued. The prisoner's hi .t was beaten in, and he took refuge in his own he n 'se. After a short time some person in the enl a •y. where the prisoner's front door was, stabbed YI plan, who was engaged in the fray. The wound • P ias very severe, passing along through the body, : perforating one lung and causing almost instant c :ath. Mr. 11. Walker, a surgeon in Sheffield, was called in, but found the deceased dead when he aria . ved at the police-station, whore the body lay. Hiss lordship r e marked that he had hardly ever know] i L case in which there was more discrepancy as I A ) the principal facts. One witness (Hannah Martin:), a girl about 15 years of age, swore that she saw I'l we preliminary row; that; Reed struck Nolan on the nose; Nolan threatened to summons Rc.ed ; Nolam then ran away, crying for help ; Reed afterwali Is offered Nolan some drink; Nolan. refused it ; 1 teed vowed he would be revenged, and stabbed N olan immediately with something that glittered vi !ry much, and was about six inches long. This wi less was damaged by ad- THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 15, 1859. missions that she had been involved in trouble through keeping bad company. Maloy, an Irish man, who had been with Nolan all night, swore that Reed stabbed him, but contradicted Martin on almost every other point. Carnall, a member of the band, proved that it was Nolan that struck Reed, that it was Reed that said he should have a summons. Moiley, the landlord of the rival public house, swore that he saw the prisoner drop a knife just after the deceased fell ; that the prisoner's wife came out with a candle, and picked up the knife and threw it away. Considerable doubt, however, existed as to the instrument of death ; it being sug gested at different times that a knife, a dagger, an oyster knife, and a swordstick had been used ; and one witness (Knapton) swore that it was only a walking-stick with which Reed struck Nolan. A man named Wragg stated that he had come on the scene of action early in the struggle, and that he identified Reed immediately afterwards as the man who had struck the fatal blow. For the defence, Mr. Price contended that the contradictions and inconsistencies in the case made out by the prosecution were of themselves suf ficient to justify him in asking for a verdict of acquittal ; but he also opened a very different state of facts. He called 19 witnesses, with the object— lstly, of directly contradicting Knapton ; 2dly, of directly contradicting Wragg ; 3dly, of proving that at the time Nolan was killed Reed was smok ing by his own fireside; and lastly, that the stab w as really given by the witness Knapton, or " Joe Neptune," as he was called by several witnesses, .rho stated that they had seen the transaction. Mr. Branson, of Sheffield, the solicitor who in strncted counsel for the defence, was called, and swore that Knapton had told him that he (Knap ton) saw Nolan killed; that he knew who struck the blow, but that he would not tell who it was, but that Reed was in the house at the time. This was corroborated by Mr. Branson's clerk, Mr. G. D. Smith. Several witnesses were called to swear that Wragg (whose evidence bore hard on the prisoner) was in a public-house, called The Sovereign, at some distance from Reed's tavern, from 11 o'clock till after 12 on the night in question, whereas all the evidence went to show that the whole affair was ov9r between 20 minutes past 11 and a quarter to 12. They further swore that Wragg was very drunk, and that on coming to the spot a little after 12 o'clock he asked " What was amiss ?" and appeared to know nothing of what had occurred. Evidence was also adduced to show that Reed having found Nolan on his steps offered him drink ; that on its re fusal he pushed Nolan off the causeway, and then returned to his house; that he sat still by his own fireside until he went to answer a knock at the door. This knock was given by Elizabeth Brammer, whom Reed admitted. Nolan had then just been stabbed outside. The prisoner returned to his hearth, and stayed there till he was taken away, without offer ing any resistance, by the policeman. This was con firmed aliunde. There were also several witnesses, who swore they saw Nolan strike a woman named Cartwright for saying abusive things about the Irish; that Knapton then came to Mrs. Cartwright's res ' cue, and was himself attacked by Nolan, Maloy, and another. Knapton fought his way to the entry, retreating into it. Nolan charged up the entry after Knapton, and immediately staggered back, crying out in a chocked voice, " Oh, I'm stabbed !" Blood spouted from his mouth and nostrils, and from the wound in the chest. He ran across the road and fell into the gutter. Knapton afterwards was dragged away, and went flourishing his open knife up the street, and threatening, in coarse language, to stab others of the Irish. Mr. Maule replied at considerable length. lie pointed out the inconsistencies in the statements of the witnesses for the defence. He urged that their account of what took place was evidently a garbled report of another occurrence, and that, though Knapton and Nolan might have had a fight (as, indeed, there were many fights going on in different places), yet that the fatal blow was given by Reed at another time. His Lordship summed up very carefully, and the jury, after retiring for a few minutes, Acquitted the prisoner. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 13. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Edward Tattersall was indicted for a burglary in the house of Edward Logan, and stealing tLerein a cap, waistcoat, and shirt. Mr. Albany Fonblanque was for the prosecution ; Mr. Charles Hopwood for the defence. The facts were very simple but singular. It appeared the prisoner had been a sailor on board her Majesty's ship Hastings, now lying in the Mersey, and had been arrested a week before (by the same constable who took him on this charge) as a deserter, and conveyed back to the ship, He, however, escaped from his guard, and returned to Manchester. The constable again saw him in the street, and laid plans for capturing him. He went at 2 o'clock in the morning of the 24th of August to the prisoner's lodgings, who, disturbed by the coming of the officer, left his bed and escaped on to the roof in his shirt, trousers, and stockings, but without clogs, cap, or coat. The policeman remained on the watch, but the prisoner escaped from the roof, and got into the prosecutor's house, where he took the articles in question, as he said, to disguise himself, and aid his escape from the police. The prosecutor said he had not desired to prose cute the man. Mr. Hopwood put it to the jury that if they be lieved the prisoner's account of the matter, it was no stealing. Mr. Baron Martin thought it a very clear case that it was stealing, even though his only purpose was, as he said, to disguise himself. It was a taking lucri eansa. Mr. Hopwood submitted that here the prisoner Sought only a benefit and not a gain. The learned Judge did not think there was any distinctina between the two. The learned counsel concluded his address to the jury, insisting on the absence of any felonious intent and also contending that the evidence of the fasten ing up of the house was so doubtful as not to be re lied on. The Judge summed up in accordance with the ruling he had intimated he should give, The jury considered some time, and then said not guilty of a felonious intent. The Judge again addressed them, when A juror said he did not agree with that verdict. Mr. Baron Martin went into the matter again, asking what doubt the jury had. The breaking and entering was to his lnind proved. Then, if they be lieved he took the things, it was clearly a stealing. The jury then found the prisoner guilty. The Judge declined to reserve the case for further consideration by the judges: He asked if the autho rities would take back the prisoner as a sailor ? He had no doubt himself the things were taken to assist the prisoner in his escape. Inquiry must be made at the ship. A petty officer in the afternoon arrived from the ship Hastings, and announced the readiness of the authorities to receive the prisoner back. The Judge then addressed the - prisoner, requiring him to enter into his own recognisances in £5O to appear if called upon to receive judgment; but told him if he remained with the ship he would hear nettling more of it. He was then given up to his officer. Susan Trotter was indicted for the murder of her husband. Mr. Aspinall prosecuted, and Mr. Pope defended the prisoner. This was a melancholy case of quarrels between husband and wife. Threats and violence had been used towards her by her husband, who, as well as age, was intoxicated at the time of the fatal occur rence. She had stabbed him with a table knife in the neck, and in so doing had divided the artery to the arm, and so caused his death. Her contri tion afterwards was most touching. The jury found her Guilty of manslaughter. The learned Judge most feelingly addressed the prisoner, commenting upon this sad result of in temperance, which had made her by her own act a widow, and deprived her of the support of a man, for whom it appeared, though too late, she had a strong affection. He sentenced her to three months imprisonment. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LINCOLN, DEC. 14. Mr. Justice Crompton took his seat in the Castle at 9 o'clock this morning, and commenced the busi ness by tryine , the only prisoner in the ray. Israel Taylor p was'charged with cutting and stab bing his brother, Elijah Taylor, with intent to kill and murder, and with other minor intents: Mr. Flowers conducted the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared from the evidence that frequent quarrels had arisen between the two brothers, who lived in the same house, where Elijah cohabited with a woman named Emma Jordan. On the after noon of September it the two brothers were drink ing at a public-house, the Roebuck, and quarrelled there. The prisoner left his brother, saying' that he would fetch a warrant for him, and that he would stab him through the head that night before ho slept. lie went home to tea, and on Emma Jordan's inquiring whether he had seen his brother he replied that he had seen " Nipper" (a nickname by which his brother went) at the Roebuck, that they were going to fight, and he would shed his blood that night, adding, " Th e re will be murder done ; 111 stab him." Emma Jordan told him that if he 'did he would suffer for it. Th e prisoner replied that he didn't care. He ha d had some beer, but wa s not tipsy. He sat down end cried, and seemed to be fretting. Hi s coat was then hanging behind the door, and Jordan saw a poker in the pocket of. it. Upon his going to sleep she took it out wad hid it. The prisoner woke, and on finding she had taken it asked about it, and was told by her that if he wanted a weapon he must get a fresh one. About ten minutes after this Elijah Taylor and a militiaman named Pacey came in. The prisoner, who was then eating his supper, and had a knife in his hand, rose and asked " Who brought him there ?" meaning Pacey ; Elijah answered " I did." Upon this the prisoner struck twice at his brother's breast with his knife, and upon his retreating and turning round stabbei him in the back, inflicting a wound an inch and a half deep. Elijah Taylor fell; he was too drunk himself to remember anything more, and he was picked up by Jordan and was conveyed to the hospital. It was elicited from the witnesses for the prose cution that Elijah Taylor had several times at tacked and beaten the prisoner. The learned Judge having summed up tne evi dence, the jury convicted the prisoner of stabbing with intent to do grievous bodily harm, recommend ing him to mercy on account of great provocation. He was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. In the case of Sarah Ann Bellamy, committed on a charge of wilful murder of her infant child, the grand jury ignored the bill for murder, and found one against her for disposing of the body to conceal the birth. On this she is yet to be tried. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Dec. 14. BOW-STREET.—A young man, under 20 years of age, named Henry Garner, in the service of his brother-in-law, Mr. Martin, a lamp maker, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, on a charge of assault preferred by Mr. Cook, a solicitor. Mr. Cook deposed—l am solicitor to Mr. Clark, a lamp-maker, in the Strand. Yesterday I at tended on his behalf at the stables, No. 21, Mil ford-lane, to see whether certain property belong ing to him was there. I was accompanied by Mr. Roberts, solicitor to Mr, Stroud, of Bir mingham, claimant of that property. Mr. Roberts rang the bell, and somebody looked out of an upper window. Defendant then opened a wicket in the stable-door. I entered, saying, " Mr. Garner, we have come to see you again." He answered, " Then you cannot come in." I disregarded this observa tion, and went in, followed by Mr. Clark and Mr. Roberts, who said, " I have come to see if the horse and cart are here. I claim them on behalf of Mr. Stroud, of Birmingham." Defendant said, "I am in possession of the horse and cart for Mr. Martin. I have the lease. You have no business here, and if you do not instantly leave, I will shoot you." He presented a pistol at me, and the lock clicked, as if ho had drawn the trigger. He looked at the pistol, and said, "It is loaded. If you are not off at once I will shoot you." I, however, remained. I sent for a policeman, to whom I wished to give the defendant into custody. Defendant, standing within the open door, said to the policeman, " You have no business hero ; keep outside." The policeman hesitated to take the charge, observing that he was young in the service. He seemed to be intimidated by the defendant's violence. M. Henry—Or probably he perceived that there was a dispute about the title. _ _ Inspector Monaghan—He was a young constable, your worship. Mr. Henry—He was perfectly right, however. Mr. Cook proceeded—l sent for a second police man, and he attempted to take the pistol from the defendant, who resisted, escaped from his hold, and handed the pistol to his wife. She ran upstairs with it, the defendant holding the constable by the skirt of his coat to prevent him from following her. Mr. Henry—Do you mean to say that the po liceman attempted to go upstairs ? Mr. Cook—Yes, he wanted to take the pinto' from the defendant's wife. The pistol is now pro duced, having been found on the stairs. Mr. Henry—The charge on the sheet is one o a common assault. Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk)—lie is charged with being drunk and assaulting the complainant in Milford-lane. Mr. Henry--But the constable saw no assault. Has there been a dispute about the premises ? Mr. Cook—No. Only about the horse and cart. Mr. Henry—Then you admit that Mr. Martin is the tenant ? Mr. Cook—l believe he admits that Mr. Clark is the tenant. Mr. Henry—Then Mr. Martin must be exa mined. You, as a solicitor, ought to know that the statute known as the Assaults Act, precludes me from determining any chnrge of assault arising from a displte of the title to possession of any premises. I told you so a few days ago, when you made an application to me to send some policemen to pre vent a breach of the peace, as you - were removing some goods from the premises in the Strand. I told you the police could not interfere. Mr. Cook—But the subject matter - was wholly different. Mr. Henry—The question of title would arise in either case. Is there an interpleader ? Mr. Roberts, solicitor to Mr. Stroud, explained that his client claimed, under a bill of sale, signed by Mr. Clark, certain property, including the horse and cart in question. Mr. Martin, who held pos session of the horse and cart, appeared to be igno rant of the existence of that bill of sale. Mr. Martin being called, stated that he was the occupier, both of the premises in the Strand and also of those in Milford-lane, and that Mr. Clark was his manager and servant. In proof of this he put in a copy of an agreement, by which he engaged Mr. Clark in that capacity, at a stated salary. Being cross-examined by Mr. Cook, he acknow ledged that he had let both premises to Mr. Clark, but alleged that this was a mere matter of form in tended for the protection of creditors, for whose benefit the property was to be sold. He had autho rised the defendant to prevent the admission of Mr. Clark, or any person' on his behalf, or the removal of the horse and cart by them. But he did not authOrise defendant to use firearms, which he ought not to have done. Mr. Henry said the defendant had acted very im properly in that respect. All the parties had acted illegally, and the policeman equally so in taking the charge. Mr. Cook said defendant should be taught not to meet business men with fire-arms. Mr. Henry—But business men should not use force to enter premises when excluded. That is not the way to try a question of title. Mr. Cook—l assure you I used no force. Mr. Henry—He said you should not enter, and you did. That is what I mean by "force." Mr. Roberts said it was a dan g erous doctrine that defendant was justified in usinfire-arms. Mr. Henry—l do not say that. Ile is liable to be indicted. lam ready to commit him, and bind you all over to appear at the sessions ; but as there is so much litigation, Mr. Cook may probably not wish to take that course. Mr. Roberts would recommend Mr. Cook to do so, as defendant's conduct was such as to lead to the inference that the pistol was loaded. In point of fact it was not, but it was not the less an assault in a legal sense. Mr. Cook was prepared to prosecute, unless de fendant would apologise, and promise never again to commit such an act against any person whatever. Defendant promptly offered the required apology and promise ; but observed that if he had not thought the complainant wanted to take the horse and cart away, he should not have refused to let him see them. Mr. Cook being satisfied with the apology, The defendant was discharged, and the parties left the court. CLERKENWELL.— GRoss CASE.—Edward Pale, a master butcher, carrying on business at No. 76, Provost-street, Holton, was summoned before Mr. Corrie by Ellen Lipyeat, of No. 56, St. John street, Clerken well, to show cause why he should not be adjudged the father of a bastard child, of which the complainant alleged him to be the father. Mr. Humphreys, jun.,. attended for the com plainant, and Mr. Lewis, jun., for the defendant. The case for the complainant was this :—The de fendant, for some time before the complai nant ' s co nfinement, used to walk out with her every even ing, gave her money,. and was recognised as b ar lover. On Nov. 2 7 bile complainant was confined, and the defendant, on the same day, was waited upon, when he sent her some money and some baby clothes. He also called upon her, told her to make herself comfortable, and gave the nurse 2s. 6d.• and left a Prayer-book for the child. F or a long 'time afterwards the defendant paid 2s. 6d. per week for the child, but, failing in his payments, the present summons was taken out. • The ease for the defendant was, that the com plainant was a prostitute, and that on the same day as the defendant gave her the money and the clothes for the child a pencil-maker, of the name of Jackson, also sent money and clothes for the child, and suggested that the defendant had better be waiteeupon, as if he gave any money he could then be wade the father, and be summoned for it. Jackson alo sent. wine and other things during the complainant's illness, and was very attentive to her. Joseph Jackson, a pencil-maker, of St. John street, "was called, and stated that he did not know the complainant; he might have scan her, but nothing more. He never had any inter course with her. He had never sent her any money, clothes, wine, or provisions during her con finement. It was quite untrue that he had ever slept with the complainant. A. female of the name of Symonds said she nursed the complainant, and on the day of her confinement, at her request, she went to the witness Jackson and asked him for some money. Ile said he was like a madman, for when he slept with her at a coffee-' shop, the•night before, he was afraid she would t hen be confined, as she was very unwell. In the after noon she again saw Jackson, when he gave her 95., three little shirts, and two baby caps, for the complainant. At Jackson's request, she went to the defendant's on the same day, and Jackson went with her. She told the complainant that Jackson said he was very fond of her, and that he had no doubt he should have a large family by her. On five or six times Jackson gave her ss. and 10s. at a time for the complainant, and sent her fowls, bottles of port wine, fried soles, and other refreshments. Mrs. Campbell, at whose house the complainant was confined, said she had received several things from a boy for the complainant, who stated that they were sent by Mr. Jackson, of Wilderness-row. The complainant had also told her that she went to see Jackson. Jackson said he had seen the witness Symonds pass his shop several times, but what she had stated was all false. A number of witnesses were called on both sides, whose evidence was of a very contradictory cha racter. Mr. Corrie said the case for the defendant had broken down, and he could not pay attention to the evidence of Symonds, but he could not say that Jackson had given his evidence in the best possible manner. He should, therefore, make an order for 2s. 6d. per week with costs. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. THE CASE AGAINST MRS. TWRWIIITT.—Jane Tyrwhitt, other wise Jane Tyrwhitt Jones, remanded from last week on the charge, among others, of obtaining goods from Mr. Thomas Brandon, florist, 139, Ox ford-street, by fraudulent pretences, was brought before Mr. Beadon for re-examination. The facts of the case above particularised, and that Of attempting, by similar means, to obtain goods -from Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, of 195, Regent-street. mercers and drapers, have been already fully given, and need not be repeated. The prisoner, who was brought to the court in a cab from the house of Detention, in the care of one of the female warders, was, as on the last occasion, carried into the dock by Walsh and Bendall, the gaolers, in the same listless or unconscious condi tion as on the two previous hearings of the case. Mr. Charles Dod, the solicitor for the London Association for the Protection of Trade,_ attended on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, sen., of Ely-place, for the defence. Mr. Lewis said be would suggest that, as his client remained in the same deplorable condition she had been in all along, the prosecutors should state what cases they meant to proceed against her in, and that she should not be dragged about from court to prison and prison to court week after week in this manner. It was quite certain that her brain was affected, and that she was unaware of what was going on. Mr. Beadon said he could not try the question as to whether a person brought before him was a lunatic or idiot. In the case of such a person charged be fore him for murder, he should, if evidence justified, commit for trial, and leave for the superior Court to decide on the state mentally of the prisoner ; and so in the present case, he should hear the evidence ready to-day, remand, and upon the cases already completed, and others if necessary, commit the pri soner for trial to the Central Criminal Court Ses sions commencing the 2d of January. Mr. Dod, before introducing a fresh case, would observe that it was to him pretty clear that the pri soner was assuming great indisposition and uncon sciousness, in order to excite sympathy, and wear out, as she thought possible, proceedings against her; but, if that was her object, she would find herself mistaken. Mr. Robertshaw, hosier, of Oxford-street—l am acquainted with the prisoner's handwriting, and identify the letters produced as in her writing. Detective officer C. Cole, 317 A—On the 29th November I went to the prisoner's house, Rose Cottage, Petersham, and after apprehending her I found in her box three black hats, such as worn by ladies. I went to Windsor and made inquiries if any such person was known at Windsor as the pri soner, and did this from information I had received. No such place as Clare House was known, or such person as Mrs. Vernon, near the railway terminus, nor had there been for some years. Mr. Dod observed that this would be evidence in a case of obtaining three fancy hats, of the value of about £5, on the 16th October last, from Mr. Robert Heath, hatter to her Majesty, 'lB, St. George's-place, Hyde-park, upon a forged request. He was not in a position to-day to prove the sup ply of the goods, but would be on a future occasion. The letter, the handwriting of which had been sworn to, was the order for the goods in question ; and the goods were forwarded by Mrs. Heath, in the box spoken of by the officer, on which the name, " the Hon: Mrs. Vernon," was found written, and the direction, " to be left at the South- Western Railway Station till called for." Though he was not prepared to go through with this par ticular case now, he was in many others where goods had b een f rau d u l ent l y obtained. He could show that the prisoner had used for these purposes the names, besides those of the Hon. Mrs. Stuart and Hon. Mrs. Vernon, of Wilmot, Paul, Bathurst, Turner, Thomas, Hon. Mrs. Mascey, and Lady 1414 Donald. Mr. Beadon said he would remand the case till next Wednesday, and it might save much trouble and unnecessary attendance of tradesmen, if he now stated his intention of committing upon the cases already completed, and on the next examination hearing the finishing evidence of the fresh one gone into to-day, and one entrusted to Mr. Edward Lewis against th e p r i soner, i f brought forward, and no others. The depositions having been read over by Mr. Loadley, chief clerk, the case was again remanded, and the prisoner directly taken in a cab, in the same care of the female warder, and custody of Walsh, the gaoler, to the House of Detention. POT -STEALING.—WiIIiam Read, 40, was charged with pewter pot stealing. William Godwin, servant, Blenheim-yard, Bond street, said he saw the prisoner, who had with him a basket, go up to a stable door in Hayes•mews, take the quart pot produced from the door-step, and popping it quickly in his basket, walk briskly away, upon which he directly went and gave in formation to the publican close by, who pursued and stopped the prisoner with the pot in his possession. It was the property of Mr. Baldwin, of the Coach and Horses publichouse, who at the court identified the property. Prisoner, who had nothing to say, was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. THAMES.—A NUISANCE,--lIONV TILE POOR IRISH EXIST.—Dr. Ellison, ono of the medical officers of the Board of Works for the Poplar dis trict, and Mr. Edward Pulcher, sanatory inspector and inspector of nuisances to the board, attended before Mr. Selfe to prosecute a summons against George Russell, of 21, William-street, Poplar, under the Nuisances Removal Act . The case disclosed a frightful nuisance, which was brought to light by Mr. Fulcher, a most useful and intelligent sanatory officer, by whose exertions great improvements have been effected in the parishes of All Saints', Poplar; Bromley St. Leonard, Mid Bow, since the passing of the Local Management Act. Mr. Ful‘zher stated that he had to complain of the condition of the houses, Nos. 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, 9, and 10, White Hart-place, Robin Hood-lane, Poplar. There were three rooms in each house, one above the other. Each room measured 12 feet by 11 and 8 feet high, and contained 1,054 cubic feet, allowing only 300 feet cube for each person. This might not be overcrowded for four persons in each room, but there was a sad want of ventilation. The rooms in most cases were let separately, some at ls. per week, others at ls. 3d. per week. Some of the rooms were inhabited by only two persons, others by four, and one ground-room, where the poisonous atmostphere was intolerable, by a family of six persons, and it was their parlour, bedroom, kitchen, and all, with a very few articles of furnitnre in it. The whole of the inhabitants were poor Irish, amongst whom great destitution existed. He made an inspection of each room on Tuesday, excepting the rooms in No. 4, a wretched and dilapidated buildin g , ca ll e d an " Irish freehold," where an Irish labourer in possession said he had lived 40 years and paid no rext. In the whole course of his experience he never witnessed a more filthy and disgraceful nuisance. He was surprised how human beings could exist in such a place. The walls and ceilings of the tenements were blackened with smoke and dirt which had been accumulating for many years, and were like the interior of a large chimney shaft. There were no grates in the fire places, but a few bricks were a substitute. The floors were rotten, defective, and dangerous. The "flank walls" at the back of each house were de fective, and caused them to be very damp. There were no back yards, and the court or alley called White Hart-place was a narrow and dirty thorough fare, 10 feet 9 inches wide. Mr. Selfe—How many persons are living in these miserable houses ? Mr. Fuicher—Sixty-nine persons are now living in the houses, some half naked. There is no water supply, the ashes and refuse of the houses are thrown into the street, and there are only three retiring places in the place, common to all the inhabitants. A new sewer has been con structed near White Hart-place, and such is the neglect of the owner that the night-soil percolates through the adjoining premises, and renders them untenantable, although the owner of thosepremises adjoining—a Mr. Brownjohn—had been at consi derable expense in carrying out the sanatory In sures directed by the Poplar Board of Wor kd Mr. Selfe—What do you wish me to do, iva. Fulcher ? Mr. Fulcher—l have respectfully to request that your worship will please to make an order, stating that the houses are not fit for human habitations! and prohibit the using of them for that purpose until thSeley are rendd fit. Mr. fe said he ere had no hesitation in making arj „ order ; that the tenements were un fit for hum.l4: habitations, and to prohibit the using thereo state that purpose, until they were put in a proper . of repair, retiring places erected, and all the dilaPi; dations made good. If the houses were noWould and repaired within 14 days a heavy fine inflicted. It was necessary for the safety and healt h of the poor inmates that the requirements of t he i act should be complied with ,• and it was fearful I ." f contemplate the mortality which might happe n A i , draft , . cholera or fever were to break out in such a ful place. He should allow the costs of the proseew tion, which was a very proper one. ~ COUNTRY MARKETS andT There— NEWARK—D Ec. 14. new. waB a ßuyers operate d freely, and , stances,' prices were and in request.
