THE ifASSACR* AT JEDDAH. SUEZ, JULY . 6. Her Majesty's steamer Cyclops arrived here from Jeddah on the 3d inst., bringing the remnants of the Christian population of that port, whore an out break had taken place, costing the lives of the British acting vice consul, the French consul and his wife, and that of the three brothers Sawa, of the Greek firm of Tema Sawa; these were the leading members of the Christian community at Jeddah, which it appears consisted of not more than from 40 to 50 souls, of whom 22 were murdered. The official reports of the captain of the Cyclops were forwarded express to her Britannic Majesty's consul general at Alexibdria, the accounts of the affair, as they have I obtainid currency at Suez, being but little to be depended upon. By these, however, it would appear that a question having arisen concerning the na tionality of a certain merchant vessel, the owner ship of which was disputed by two Anglo-Indian merchants, the ‘ one professing to become a subject of the Sublime Porte in consequence of the case having been decided against him by British con sular authority, and, therefore, wishing to came the Turkish flag to be hoisted, obtained from the local authorities permission to haul down the Bri tish ensign and hoist the Crescent, and did so, notwithstanding the protestations of the owner, in whose favour the case had been decided by a meet ing of merchants presided at by the English con sular authority. Mr. Acting Vice-Consul Page was absent at the time ; but on his return to Jeddah in the Cyclops, he was applied to by the rightful owner of the vessel, and with his sanction the Turkish colours were hauled down, and the British ensign again hoisted by order of the captain of the Cyclops. As, however, it would appear the Turk ish flag had been foisted with the approval of the local authority, whether rightfully or not, the nas tive merchants, or Hadramooths, attended on the Kaimakan, governor of Jeddah, protesting against so summary a mode of setting his authority at de fiance, and calling upon him not to submit to such treatment in the laud of the Prophet. The Kai makan, being rather perplexed, is reported to have said, "Why make so much fuss about a flag ; are there not flag-staffs enough in the place to pulldownr or words to that effect, whereupon the match was lighted, andthe flagstaffswere immediatelyattacked, in doing which, however, the mob became infu riated, and proceeded to acts of violence, entering the houses of the French and the English consuls, burning and destroying everything they could lay their hands on, and murdering the inmates. The Pasha of the Hedjas was at the time at Mecca; he was sent for in all baste, but did not arrive for four days, although he conld have performed the jour ney in 48 hours. On his arrival he communicated with the captain of the Cyclops, who demanded that all the'Christips in the place should be sent on board his .vessel. Those remaining, some 20 in number, wera endeavouring to hide themselves, and were exposed to the greatest privations and distress until rcfuoved to the Cyclops. The houses of both consuls are said to have been pillaged and destroyed, and the cry was that not a Christian should be permitted to remain in the holy land of the Prophet. ALEXANDRIA, JULY G. Au officer of -the Cyclops, arrived last night from Stl6E, brings the following news " On the night of the 7th June some Christians swam on board, bringing .the intelligence that the Mahommedans of the town, in the absence of Namic Pacha (who had gone to Mecca with nearly all his troops) had begun massacring' the . Christian population. At daylight the Cycle>ps dentin her armed boats. As they approached the beach some Turkish soldiers warned them off, saying that the town was in a state of revolt, and that the forces were too small to give them any protection. The boats, however, still approached, and wLen they reached the . shore were surrounded by-a mob of some 200 to 300' men, unarmed, who atttemPted to drag them out of the boats ; our 'sailors, however, were armed, and managed to keep off the mob, killing two and wounding several, when in the meanwhile they received a message from the . Lieutenant-Go vernor that the English consul and all his family had been murdered the previous evening at eight o'clock. The French consul and his family were attacked at nine o'clock, the consul and his wife killed, and his daughter severely wounded by . a sabre cut down her face whiht defending her father, whose murderer she succeeded in killing. The .Lieutenant-Governor begged the English would not land or fire on the town, as he had the unfortunate younglady and upward& of twenty other Christians at his house, and only eight soldiers to defend them, but requested them to wait until the Paella's return. This course they adopted. "On the Pacha's return the remaining Christians were sent on board the Cyclops, 24 in number, in cluding the French lady. "Twenty-two Christians were said to be mas sacred. The Pacha says he has airestA 300 of the townspeople on suspicion. An Indian sheik, from Dellhi,.is said to have instigated the massacre. " As soon as the Christians were safe on board the Cyclops, I landed a party of men, marched through tlfe- town, and hoisted the English and French flags under a_satute of 21 giing. "The kiiglish consul is said to - Lave been hewn in pieces and strewed about the streets." .A4EXANDRIA, - JULY 6. Before the present letter can reach England the will already have placed you in posses-. sion of the leading facts connected wit., the recent outbreak at Jeddah, where Mahomedan fana ticism has enacted another tragedy, and has given the world a fresh instance of its cowardice and treachery. Her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, lately sent to the Red Sea by the British Government for the purpose of taking a series of deep water soundings, bad been lying for about a week in the harbour of Jeddah, whittler she had Conveyed, a&passengera from Suez, the English acting consul and his French coNeagtte. - Nothing whatever bad °venire& - to Show that the people of the place were animate' with any extraordinary sentiment of ,liOstility towards the Christian inha bitants. The officers of the steamer had made ex cursions in th 4 vicinity of thelown e and never once met with the slightest molestation or insult, and even on the very evening of the outbreak several had been walking about in the bazaars until nea r sunset without the least apparent - symptom of the storm. This was on the 15th ult. In the evening a few persons--Greek residents in the town—came swimming off to the ship,. and stated that disturb ances had arisen, and tat they feared a conspiracy had been entered into against the Christian inha bitants. Everything, however, continued in ap pearance perfectly quiet ; not a shot nor a cry was heard,. though the savage work had even then al ready commenced, - but the assassins had taken the precaution to use cold steel alone. The Eng lish Consulate was the first point of attack, and Mr. Page, the _acting Consul, must have fallen under the,Opws of a croWd. of ..ruffians;, who -fol lowed up, the „murder by sacking the house and tearing down - th 9 flag. The unfortunate: man's body is said to have been fouucl literally leackul to pieces. _ _ Maddened with excitement the mob appears next to have poured dawn upon the house of the 'French Consul, M. Eveillard. Elere, however, the Kai makan, or governor of the town, made some feeble attempt to interpose; the force at his disposal amountel to only 80 men, and, whatever efforts they may have used, they did not succeed ire saving the life of either the Consul or of his wife. Bath, were murflered„and their daughter alone—a' young . lady who, though under 20 years of age, appears to have possessed the spit it of a heroine—was rescued from the hands of the assassins, and covered with an Arab cloak she was carried to the house of the Kaintakan.. .Her. face . was laid - op9i with a gash from a sabre cut across the cheek, but before being dragged forth she had avenged the murder of her father by the death of the assassin. Earlyon the following morning Cap'ain still ignorant of what bad occurred, sent two boats ashore.. When they neared the inner reefs Turkish soldiers were.observed warning them off ; they con tinued, however, to . advance until they found themselves surrounded by a crowd Of about GOO men, who, from, the Out-jutting, reefs,. poured shower of atonea upon the boats. The crews were fortunately armed and soor(forced their way back to the ship, not, however, without having been compelled to pour a volley of musketry into their aisailanfs. An interval of five days new elapsed until the arrival :from Mecca of Nana Pasha, the Gover nor of the ; rledjaz, with a body of ab ou t 800 Tur kish troops.' The crew of the steamer entreated their officers to be allowed to take vengeance upon the city, if not by-laying the place in, allies, at least by b e i ng, permitted to land, oven though at the risk of rind, ins themselves, at most .200 rerrer,„ opposed to a population' of 40 ; 000; hurt the .ICsima• can sent re peatedlinessi,ges beseeching C'apta P ire ollen to de sist front all . intei ference, warning' him that his own house was surrontided - by infuriated fanatics cla in°nriligjor the surrender of the Christians who they knew had obtained refuge in the house, and declaring_ that were a single fired, or one armed man landed from the ship, not only the lives of the refugees, but also his own, would to a certainty be sacrificed. This officer can doubtless not have yielded without a struggle, and no other argument, would probably have saved the city from its - well- - merited doom. Even though it - be granted that only a portion of the inhabitant s were actually en gaged m this massacre, none had a claim for pity where all bad stood calmly by, without stretching ingifemive forth a finger to protect a handful et HE T men and women who lived among them relying upon their hospitality. Neither need the argument of the sanctity of the Turkish flag have had. any weight with the crew of a British vessel of war. That flag had failed to extend to their fellow- Christians the protection upon which they had relied, a nd might well have been utterly disre cfarded." On the 20th Namik Pasha arrived with his troops, and some semblance of order wa - 3 restored. Miss Eveillard and other rescued Europmns were transferred on board the Cyclops. In spite of the opposition at first made by the Pasha the crew and marines were afterwards landed with the British and French colours, and, escorted by a body of Turkish infantry, they were led to the newly made grave, over which the funeral service was read, and the Eugliyh and French flags were rehoisted under a salute of 21 guns. On the 24th the Cyclops sailed for Suez, where she arrived on the 3d inst., bringing home 24 refagees. The number mur dered at Jeddah was 21, and at the present moment not a Christian remains in the place. ' The Hadramaut merchants are said to have - been the chief actors in the outbreak. This raises the qu9stion whether commercial jealousy may not have acted in the matter as concomitant with Mu,ssul man bigotry ; but until fuller information be ob tained it is perhaps idle to speculate by whom or how the outrage was instigated. a° l7 -F:,RNMENT STOR ES.

Every inuence. Thera are wicked triumph of calumniated o'n em moile as elsewhere. There people in the House of C ;la are Captain Vivian, who s not hesitated to speak dis storekeepershas. been wanting in due storekeepers Department, respectfully of the Army and Colonel Boldero, who I reverence for the Clothing ;'3oard. It must have been pleasant to witness, on Mon day eveninjs I ast , the con dign punishment of these two irreverent men. General Peel came down upon them, e ven before the offetsoe was quite perpetrated, and cons .ounded them by three pregnant sentences. There St tg a sonorous chorus of "Hear, hears," amid which the t ailprits slunk into silence, and the Weedon establishment was seen to come forth from the trial spotless in integrit. y, approved in efficiency, and perfect is its organization. That was the general idea conveyed by the scene. But there is a Blue-book. .1t is a repulsive folio in nearly 500 pages. It has neii er index, epitome, nor report. To the general reader t he information contained in it Is as if it did not exist. T.t has all the appearance of being the safest repository that could he found for disagreeable facts. But in this age of busy idleness no thing is safe. There are people who fled it part of their duty to turn over the pages of this book, and their at tention soon becomes riveted to its contents. Two or : three years since we used to poll et from our pedestal of superior virtue to the malpractiot s in the Russian and Turkish service, and we used Face isly to thank Heaven that we were novas other men art ; but with this Blue , book before us we are obliged t o c onfess that contract frauds are not confined to 11useia, and that even corrruption is not a plant exclusively of Turkish growth. We are even come to this—that it is a matter of so much congratulation as to be received with cheers in the • House of Com mons that, not 170,000 pairs of boots, but only 74,000 pairs, have been improperly sold out of the public stores since the termination of the Crimean war. As we tread this maze of disagreeable facts we pass from surprise to astonishment, but before we get through half its windings we almost become accustomed to an atmosphere of corruption. At the threshold one feels a little gentle indignation at finding that a contractor is in permanent ill-favour, and has his goods sent back as imperfect, not on account of the imperfection of the articles, but as a penalty for want of politeness in the manufacturer, who had walked into one of the public offices with his bat upnn his head. But this is only the insolence of office. As we get a little way into the Weedon Blue-book we meet with much worse things. There is a Mr. George Pays stuck fast in a Slough of Despond. Hp has 500 sets of accoutrements, which be is bound to deliver, but which are always being rejected. Sometimes they are stronger than the pattern, some• times they have been crushed by the people appointed to examine them ; but the result is always the same— they are always sent back upon Mr. Pays 's hands. The general market for waistbelts, swordknots, pouchbelts, and swivels is not very lively, and the contractor is in a desponding state of mind. But there is a good angel at hand, and his name is E. Downing. "You will never get. your goods passed in the way you are going on," said the good angel. " Why not 1 " said the innocent contractor; "they are equal to the pattern." "That is nothiag," said the angel; "the father of Moore, one of the viewers, is employed ate one of the other contractors'." " I see," said the awakening ac coutrement maker ; "wl.at am I to do l" "Change your system." "How "You a man of business, and ask how ! We poor viewers can't be expected to give is fair view unless we have some compensation." The accoutre ment-maker did chaege his system. Two sovereigns fell from his band, and his feet were loosened from the Slough of Despond. Every week the good Downing and his mate, Mr. Garrattt, called to see him, and every week he persevered in the practice of his new system. Two hundred pounds were thus expended, and the ma lignant influence of Moore was neutralizal. Of course we cannot expect Mr. Pays to say that the .accoutrements deteriorated in quality as the viewing became lees f sr midable, but under the new system 9,000 of them were passed with a profitable celerity. As we proceed into other chambers of this house of crime and punishment, we hear the wailings of this Downing and also of this Garrett, who, with other victims, are being tor tured by that ardent Head Inquisitor, Mr. Roebuck. They twist and writh e upon the rack, but they confess their crimes, and disclose enough to let us guess the rest. We scarcely require to listen to the tale how Mr. R. S. Garden was led to adopt the new system ; how, when the viewers found that he was " not up to the game," they called upon him, and said, "You cannot get on without us ; we are the men that inspect the things ;" or how Mr. Garden did as Mr. Pr ya had done. Neither is it necessary to relate how, in acknowledg ment of their fees, these viewers were in the habit of changing the good articles of those contractors who would not pay for the bad articles of those who would. All these abuses follow necessarily from " the system." Se also if swords bond with a blow like iron hoops, if crossbelts rot and shoes go to pieces, all this follows from " the system.", This " system" was condemned to be hanged four years ago, but it is as lively and industrious as ever. You have viewers taking bribes from some con tractors and doing journey Qork for others, drawing a wretched pittance of 15Q. a week, and passing or 1, jocting at their will goods to the value of thou ands of pounds. It is just the system of Russia, Turkey,and China; and they who originate it or work it cannot be ignorant what the cond.t els of such a serti.le are. If corruption rules below, mania seems to ravel above, "I am informed," said Mr. Shies', "that when goods are once packed for a certain destination, and arc not seat, they are not again taken into store, but are sold as old stoup." That Mr: Shaw was rightly informed was proved quite to his own satisfaction by his buying 150 pairs of new boots with the Crown mark upon them, all of which had been sold by auction as old stores. In these inquiries hundreds rapidly swell to thousands ; a system of this sort' works in the nil's pengreeei en. sts,espoe cls Muses Levi, a merchant, with a civic establishment and an aristocratic West-end resi dence, is introduced. He is about to retire from busi ness, and, although at the commencement of his inter view with the committee he was not so plain spoken as they wished, he left an impression that he is a wealthy and a prudent man, who knows much of the conduct of public affairs. Mr. Levi had bought "many thousands' of these new boots at public auctions— how many thousands he could not. say. They were all Government boots, that had been viewed and passed, and paid for and taken into stock. During the last and present years he had bought about 10,000 pairs. He gave from 43. 4 10 d. to 63. 31., according to the biddingr. The Government, as we learn from another witness, paid lls. 33. for them. Mr. Levi sold these boots again to the contractors who were supplying the troops. For aught that appears, they may have gone again into the Tower sales, may have passed again into the hands of Mr. Levi, been again transferred by him into the hands of the contractors, and, the bribes to the viewers having been honourably discharged, they may have passed once again into stock and be now awaiting their third ap• , pearance on the table of the Government auctioneer. This is a commercial curriculum highly advantazeons to every one engaged in it, except only to the public. Ho w Mr. Moses Levi could think of leaving such a business as this it seems impossible to explain. , This is the innocent system which was so grossly calumniated by Captain Vivian, and whose honour was vindicated by General Peel amid the applause of the House of Commons. There is, it seems, no absolute proof in the Blue-hook that 170,000 pairs of boots have been sold. The only distinct evidence as to numbers is that " George Dalhousie Ramsay', E;quire," whose official rank is not specifically set forth, tells Sir Charles Napier (Q. 3,975) that "in the early part cf this year 74,000 pairs of blots were sold ;" so that it is evident that the Weedon establishment has been very iIS-used. The worst feature in all this quagmire of c - irroption and wanton waste is the partial defence of General Peel and the apathy of the Houle of Commons. There was a time when people mounted upon hustings and called themselves Administrative Reformers, giving many r)iedZ=s as to what they would do in that line if placed in Parliament. We never had much faith in that defunct absurdity called the Financial Reform Associa tion, but it seems that it was not even of use as a scare crow. Even within reach of the echo of these noisy people's speeches the viewers were busy screwing bribes out of the contractors ; the contractors were teeing the viewers ; the Government auctioneers were selling the best new Government stores ; the Government store keepers were receiving them again into store ; and the prudent Jews ware working the operation, oiling the wheels, and pocketing a good share of the profits. Of course everybody is indignant. Mr. Roebuck is indig cant with the contractors who alio iced the bribes to be extorted from them. Mr. Isaac is indignant with a poor creature named Tiffin, who is ruined and dismissed be cause ho rejected some of Mr. Isaac's socks without putting his band into them. The War-office authorities are most indignant with Mr. Bischoff because he will not account to them for his evidence given to the House of Commons ; but the drama ends in the usual way—all the little rogues are crushed, and all the great folks go off in triumphal cars.

If we fail in some great undertakings we succeed in others, and it is our pleasing duty to-day to con . gratulate the country on a triumph which some will think quite sufficient consolation for the loss of the Atlantic cable. No one, indeed, in whose breast one patriotic spark remains will fail to re joice and be proud at the great achievement of Tuesday night in the House of Commons. Eng land has asserted her indomitable independence and nationality. Terror will, be depicted on the countenance of every German despot and pedant, fit Lsrd Elcho has won the day. • Mr. Coningham is avenged of his enemy. The hostile critics of Paul Veronese are confirmed in their judgment by the British House of Commons. The salary of Mr. Otto Mundler is disallowed. The sum of 3001. a ' year is saved to the nation of which we form part, and a blow struck which will resound in every auction-mart of Europe. Some of our readers may know nothing of Mr.. Otto Mundler, and not so much as they ought about Lord Elcho and the genius of Paul Veronese. Many of them are, perhaps, not possessed of high art instincts, and only go to the National Gallery with country cousins, or to the British Museum with little boys home for the holidays, who want to see the mummies and the stuffed ourang-outangs. To these we shall, unhappily, not succeedin making known the momentous character of last night's vote. They are in a state of lamentable but, per haps, not unblissful ignorance. Art-progress has left them far behind, and art-criticism has not re vealed to them its oracular utterances. They are •• content with their own portraits, which simper on them from above their dining-tables, and they look ' with tendernes4 on the. full-length of Charley, with a coral and red shoes, taken at the age of one year. If these works of art be degraded, bestial, full of the mad licentiousness of a faithless age, or if they_ be wanting in tone, poor in treatment, wooden, stony, woolly, or anything else, it is lost - on the possessors and their friends, who ine they ate very like what the subjects were in the days when high-collared coats were worn, and ladies drove tortoise-shell combs into the backs of their heads. Many there are still, we fear, who are not duly entranced at the sight of a red Agamemnon offering a black daughter on an Etruscan vase, and who can see without cupidity a real majolica plate with its muscular divinities. Contorted saints of the early Germau school are still 'gazed at with wonder by some, And to Renaissance taste in furni ture they have no :wish to give another birth. To this large, though we should hope decreasing class, we can only present the subject in its pecuniary Point of view. But even here , there is matter for no small congratulation. Three hundred a-year has bean saved. The salary of a clerk in the Custom-house, the income of a young medical practitioner in a country town, the cost of printing a return of the number of pee sons who have ridden outside omnibuses from .1850 to 1837 inclusive, has been saved to this wise, pru dent, thrifty country. What a number of things we shall be - able to 'do with this 3001. I A little child with its first sixpence tells you of the wonders it intends to buy, and so we may joyfully reflect on what we shall be able to accomplish with the salary of Mr. Otto Mundler. We have rescued from the clutch of this invading German enough to supply the Growler or Snapper with coals from Malta to Gibraltar and back ; enough to pay a mouth's travelling expenses of a not overworked Queen's messenger; enough to supply a year's stationary to a third rate legation ; enough to re place a button of one pattern by the button of another on the coats of a few regiments -in the army. Therefore, to all of our readers who pride themselves on their reepec; for the good old fashioned proverb about taking caw of the pence, and who knoW nothing and care nothing about art, we offer' our congratulations on this reduction of I the national expenditure. But to the artistic world the matter is of far greater interest. To them we will say nothing of the 3001. ; money is too sordid an object, and finance is too dreary a study, to excite them. Nor ' will we urge that, 60.r.1e.1ii. g is honestly due to a gentleman who has been engaged for the public service by the proper authorities at a certain salary, and who may consider it an injustice to be turned off at a moment's notice. Mr. Mendler, if he were fit for his work, ought to have known that the ages of faith are past. What, indeed, can be expected of a country which buys a "Paul Veronese ?'' So we may put the individual travel line agent out of the'question, as having deserved his fate ; and only. look at the great victory in which he has been stricken down. It ie, indeed, pretty clear that - Unfortunate Mr. Mundler has been taken as the representative of the constituted authorities on this occasion, as the incarnation :of the National Gallery management, acid the blows of his assailants were in reality aimed at greater persons behind him. Happy - are all of us whose destinies do not depend on contests of taste, 'where - every man plumes himself on the originality of his opinions; and any one who pretends to de tide between opponents is immediately attacked and trampled upon by both. If it is not allowed to poets to be mediocre, it ie not allowed to con- noisseurs to beimpartial. They must be exclusive or die. Theological hatred is softening down, but the virus is passing into another section of the com munity. Art critics are now possessed with the spirit of Gardiner and Laud, - and apparently would "scrape" a rival with the utmost pleasure. In other departments of mental exertion, people can appreciate geniuses of various kinds. We can honour Shalispeare without thinking Sophocles an impostor, and a reSpect for Newton does not neces sitate 'a contempt for Guvier. But the artistic world is split up into sects, each with its divinity, and looks upon anything like breadth of taste as latitudinarian and lukewarm. Full sure - we are that if the victorious party of Tuesday night had had the management of affairs they would have been exposed to as many attacks as those whom they have now censured. They would have pur chased something* on which Mr. Otto Al undler's friends would hay e exhausted the usual art epithets of "atrocious," "abominable," "a spirit less daub," "a Wardour-street imposture," and so on. Let us of . the public, however„ who have no power or authority in the world of art, and who only judge of a picture by the pleasure it g ives us, acquiesce in the decieion of the House of Commons. Lord Elcho and his 128 friends have stopped the travels of the agent ; his modest salary will no longer be forthcoming ; his movements will no longer throw poverty-stricken Italian nobles and . shat pine , dealers into excitement ; he will no longer raise the price of daubs by a look, or depress the selling rate of a "school" by a depreciatory word. .All that England buys will now be by her own unaided judgment ; Germen pedantry and Italian knavishinese will not combine to fill the rooms in' Trafalgar-squire with works which Lord Elcho and-Mr. Coningham are bound to denounce. * The travelling agent is, in short, a beine Of the past. 'We trust, therefore, that the feuds of the two parties will now cease. Lord Elcho has been vic torious both in the matter of the site for the new Gallery and in the discussion as to the bench s of. Mr. Muudler'e services. But the other party are in possession, and without their help nothing can be done to improve . the collection, and make it worthy of the name of "national." It is really high time that the four or five close and crowded rooms which contain the country's pictures should be expanded 'into a full-sized edifice, where the visitor shall net be incommoded by the crush, stifled by the pent-up breath of the multitude, and grieved by the sight of noble works suffering from the deleterious influences to which they are exposed. We have little doubt of the power of the Govern ment to obtain really estimable works of art for the national collection, and we are sure of the williirgne.aof the people to pay for such workF, and to provide a fitting receptacle for them. So we hope that Lord . -Dello and his friends will now leave their antagonistic position, and, do their best to assist the, administration of the Gallery, into which they have introduced so importan% an ... . econowy. —Times, Three Chinese coexerued iu ow wan d,r of Capt.

The last reports from the extreme West are as favour able as could be desired. Grain and green crops ara in admirable condition. The potato, too, is looking well, and the rumours of blight are not credited. In Dublin this morning it is blowing a perfect hurricane from the westward, but otherwise the weather is bright and fine.

Shelter at Newmarket from weather there is none, except in the weighing-room ; and from this, as he has to furnish correct intelligence to some few millions of human beings, it is thought proper to xclude So that the unfortunate person, when he arrived at Newmarket, after his three-mile walk through this tropical rain, presented vet), much the appearance of an indiyidual who had spent the afternoon down a well, instead of on the heath, and many suggested the application of the remedies to be used in cams cf persons apparently drowned. Certainly, when we consider the desperate exertions that are used to secure the good offiees of the Fourth Estate for a beginner in an official position, and with what gratitude a simple "par" is received, it is surprising that people who.have been made by them should be the first to turn round and expose its members to treatment worse than their own domestics would choose to endure. I don't make these remarks individually, for I never give a chance away, and am independent of all officials ; but there are many evcrkers in the cause whore duties compel them to come in constant contact with the clerk of the scales, and therefore ought to be treated with ordinary civility and respect.

'WESTERN CIRCIEJIT.—WINCHESTER, July 14. CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Justice Channell.) John Dominey and James Fagan, two respecta ble-looking men, carrying on the business of grccers at Southampton, and also employed by the Ord nance-office, were indicted fur a conspiracy to ex tort money from William Scott, by threatening and accusing his son, Charles Scott, of a crime punishable by transportation. Different counts varied the indictment, charging them with a mis demeanour for compromising and compounding felony, and for forbearing to prosecute. Mr. Cole prosecuted ; and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Yonge defended the prisoners. The facts, as given in evidence, were these : The boy, Charles Scott, about twelve years of age, in the beginning of the year entered the de fendants' service as errand boy ; after he bad been there a few weeks, the defendants charged him with stealing money. He bad been sent out with some butter on the Bth of May, and was paid for it, and put the money in his jacket pocke. When he got back to the shop he took off his jacket and put it aside, and forgot to take out the money he had received to give it to the de fendants. He was asked for it, and ho said it was in his jacket pocket, and there it was found. They then accused him of stealing the money, and of stealing a sovereign and two shillings, which the boy strenuously denied: . He was shut upstairs in a room and threatened, if he did not confess to stealing the money, ho should be sent over the water, and never see his father any more. Frightened, the boy said he had. Dominey then went to the father, who works as a gardener for. General Dyce, and told him . that his boy had stolen money to the amount of 9/. 'lBs. 7d., and that lie, the father, had it. Th e f a th er went w i t h hi m to Fagan's, and Fagan went upstairs, and told the boy that if ho did not confess to his father that he had stolen the money he should have the handcuffs put on and be sent to the police station ; the boy was then brought out on the landing, and asked by one •of the defendants, "Did you not take the money and give it to your father ?" and the boy said, " Yes." Fagan said to the father, who was at the bottom of the stairs, " You hear what he has said, you had better pay the money." Scott said he had not got it ; but Fagan went to his house, and Scott got a ten pound note and gave it to Fagan, who gave hint a receipt for it—" Re ceived from Mr. Scott the sum of 9/. 18s. 7d., being the amount of money taken from our till by his son, Charles Scott, and also for money received by him anti not accounted for, according to his own confession. —JAMES FAGAN." The boy deposed that he had never taken any money, and that the confession that he had made was extorted from him by threats of the defen dants ; and the father also swore that he never had a penny from his son. Mr. Cooke made a very lengthened address on behalf of the defendants ; and Colonel Cameron, Major Lacey, and other gentlemen of high stand ing, gave them an excellent character. The prisoners were acquitted, the jury exwess ing their belief that neither Scott nor his son ever had the money. NORTHERN OIROTJIT.—YoRK, JULY 14. CROWN COURT. (Before Baron Martin.) THE HALIFAX MURDER. William Blackburn Dawson was placed at the bar, charged with the wilful murder of James Ed ward Jacobs, on the sth of May last, ,at Halifax. Mr. Shaw and Mr. Maule were for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Price d-fended the prisoner. Mr. Shaw said James Edward Jacobs, the de ceased, was a workman in the employ of Mr. Walker, printer and publisher of the Halifax Guardian. Prisoner was an apprentice in the same office. He was always a well-behaved young man,, steady and industrious. His habits were considered by the workmen as very reserved, and if there was any one with whom he was more inti mate than another it was the deceased. For the defence, Mr. Tucker, of Halifax, surgeon, deposed that he had known the prisoner from his youth. He laboured under certain delusions, which he (witness) had sought to dispel. He had feared that either insanity or suicide would be the result. After this evidence, the counsel for the prosecu tion did not press the case further, and the prisoner was found Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity, and ordered to be detained in safe custody. in court s and hisslordship could judge for hin3sclf in the matte''. The Lord Mayor directed Webb to be called, which being done, he appeared in the witness•box, and said he had been told by the prisoner to give the haddocks to Riley, and that was all he knew about it. Lord Meyor—Did not you think it was wrong for him to give the fish away ? Witness—No ; I didn't think anything at all ab put it. Lord Mayor—Well, I think you ought to have thought about it, for it is a very impudent robbery. The prisoner was sent to hard labour for one month. MARYLEBONE.—WiIIiam Varley, a young man described as a merchant, residing at No. 73, Camden-road-villas, was charged with the follow ing indecent and extraordinary conduct : Mr. Keene attended for the prisoner. Mrs. Jane Mayers, 25, Grange-road, Camden town, deposed that on Thursday last the prisoner came to her furnished front parlour, which was to be let. After some conversation he went away, arid, on his return the same day, he brought with him a bag containing a quantity of ladies' apparel. He agreed to take the apartments, and when told that it was usual to give a reference or pay a week in advance, he said, " I've brought my things, and that's a deposit. lam leaving my home for the present on account of the place being fresh painted, and I can't bear the smell of it." Complainant asked bim if he intended to sleep at her house that night, to which he replied, "No ; I am going to sleep with a friend." He put his things in a drawer, and then left. On the next day he came back, and she saw him sitting in an arm chair by the window, dressed in female clothes. He quitted in his ordinary male attire. He was also at the house cn Saturday, and also on the previous day (Tuesday), when he came in at 10 in the morning, and having put on a lady's dress, with a wreath of roses reund his head, he behaved in a manner too disgusting and offensive to particularly describe. She watched him upon many occasions, between 10 and 5, and saw him standing near the window, and observed that he was behaving most indecently. He left, and returned at 10 at night, when he pulled off his trousers and put on a pair of lady's drawers and a white crinoline petticoat. By Mr. Keene—l should not have taken notice merely of his putting on female clothes, if he had not been in such a disgusting situation when I saw him. I thought he might have been in the theatrical line. It was through a crevice in the back parlour I watched him. I have not spoken at all to the prisoner in reference to his behaviour. Thomas Winkworth, a lodger, stated that on the previous night, when he returned home, he was told by complainant what had occurred, and while she was talking to him prisoner came in. Witness advised• her to go to the station, which she did, and brought back with her, after some time, a con stable ; but previous thereto he (witness) went out, and saw the prisoner act as described before the window. He had on drawers and a crinoline, and wore a wreath of roses, and several people in the street were looking at him. When complainant and the officer returned, which was between 10 and 11 o'clock, the prisoner had on his own proper apparel. 'i3y Mr. Keene—The blind was up to two feet from the bottom of the window. There was a crochet curtain below it, but the work was so open that I could see plainly what I have described. There was a lighted candle on the table, between which and the window the prisoner stood. Mr. Broughton—Amongst those who must have seen him were there any females ? Witness—Yes, sir ; but they turned away as soon as they could. Complaijant, in reply to Mr. Keene said the long blind was do wn t o w ithi n a s h or t distance of the crochet curtains. Mrs. Mary Wilson (another lodger) said tint at about ten on the previous morning she was told that the prisoner was attired in female apparel. At twelve o'clock she went out and saw several boys and girls look in at the window, and from what one of the girls, abut nine years old, told her, she (witness) went out, and on going past the window she saw prisoner act as described. The crochet curtain was partly aside, but when pri soner noticed her he pulled it to. By Mr. Keene—l cannot say whether it was any thing like a theatrical dress or not. It seemed to me to be such as dancers wear. I had seen his in decent conduct altogether ten or twelve times. I nude the opening or crevice, whatever it may be called, myself. Edwards, 100 S, said that he went to the house about half-past 11, and took the prisoner into cus tody just as ho was coming out. He was told what he was charged with, and he stated that he was going to perform at a theatre. After the prisoner was locked up witness went back to the premises, when the complainant showed him a quintity of female apparel. Sergeant Westlake, 2 S, handed to the magistrate a long list of the articles fouud.in the apartment ; they consisted of drawers, chemises, silk and mus lin dresses, slippers, silk stockings, Jsc. Mr. Keene, in answer to the charge, said that his Client and other young_ men were getting up a private theatrical performance, to take plaee in th. neighbourhood, ue (prisoner) quite in his own room, he had . no id ea that any one was looking at him, or that they could really see him. His blind was down nearly to the curtain itself, and he imagined that he was perfectly private in his own place. He (Mr. Keene), with much emphasis, denied that his client had wilfully exposed himself, and expressed his astonishment that two married women, with any pretence to respectability, should have the effrontery to come forward and unblushingly avow that they had kept watch as they did for so long a period, and witnessed suspicious conduct, as alleged by them, without taking early steps to put a stop to it. Mr. Broughton said it was a most extraordinary case, and he considered that an unjustifiable attack had been made upon the two females. He was of opinion that the case came within the meaning of the Vagrant Act for such offences ; and added that -the- witnesses would leave the court without any disgrace attaching to their character. The prisoner was remanded on hail to the amount of 100/. for his re-appearance on Wednesday next. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. -0 HOUSE OF LORDS.--JuLy 12. OATHS BILL.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-July 14. iMANSION -HOUSE.—Cornelius Marney, a cos termonger, who has been in the habit of using false weights and measures in his dealings with people in the streets in the fruit line, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having caused du ob struction in the narrow thoroughfare of Walbrook: It was proved that th , A deffudarit 1,:,l Locii in custody boiore upon charges of obstructing the traffic and passengers with hs barrow ; that he paid no attention to the directions of the police, al though about a week ago he had been complained egainst for obstinacy in violating -the law in the waY . described ; and that the officer had been obliged to send his barrow to the greenyard because "it was for ever in the way of coaches and carriages and people." The defendant, to the surprise of the persons in constant attendance at the justice room, slid, "I was never here before, my lord, for anything, and I was never in custody in my life." Inspector Harding said—The man has not only been in custody before, but he is one of those per 1. sons who pursue a system by which the public, in the belief that they are getting cheap fruit, are daily plundered to a very great extent. He uses a pair of scales which are apparently fair enough, but • when he was taken into custody for the obstruction, it was found that a piece of lead had been attached to that intended; for the fruit so as to give it a con siderable draught in his Savour,' while his w e i g h ts have ben tampered with to an almost incredible extent ; thus his quarter of a pound weight, when tested, has been found to weigh two ounces, but the most extensive fraud is perpetrated by mea ns of his• half-pound weight, which only weighs one. ounce and three-quarters.- In fact, the impositio n is so gross that it i s aston i s hi ng to see the public purchasing hf such follows at a ll. • However, people continue to .buy as freely as if they always got the full weight.... • The scales and weighti were' then produced and examined by The Lord Mayor, .who said, I remember having had this man before me some time ago, and upon that occasion be had false weights and measures. This is a most impudent and villanous imposition. The weights are all had enough, but this half-pound weight has, I see, been bollowel oat to the thin ness of a wafer, and filled up with a bit of cork. ( * A. laugh.) The defendant—l didn't know there was anything wrong about them, I am sure, and as for- shovinc , my bat row in the way, I never thought of such a thing. / Tiie Lord Mayor —I shall fine you, defendant, for the obstruction the sum of 2s. 6d., and as to the weights and scales I shall send them to the Inspector of Weights and Measures, who will know what to do both with them and you. At the same time I hope the police will look after the conduct of those costeratongers, for I am told that of those who throng the city scarcely one gives honest Weight. The imposition daily increases. Richard Field, the driver of a ran belonging to the Great Northern Company, was c h arge d w i t h stealing some haddocks. J. Th :rogood, a policeman belonging to the com pany, deposed that about a quarter to five in the morning, he raw the prisoner, who was delivering some fish in Billingsgate-market, open a package, and take out five haddocks, which he put into a handkerchief, and gave to a man named Webb, also in the employ of the Great Northern Company, who in turn geve them to a man named Riley. Sulsscpisntly the prisoner ac companied Riley to a public-house, and afterwards Riley went to hislodgiugs in Sun-street, where the haddocks were afterwards - found. Witness had been put on to watch the vans in consequence of the numerous robberies of a similar character that had taken place. Mr. Williams, superintendent of the Great Northern Railway, said it was not the value of the haddocks which led to the proceedings, but recently seoisany petty pilferages had taken place from the vane belonging to the company, that it had become absolutely neeseary to take steps- to protect the proper:3r which they were employed to deliver. Watkins, a de' ective, deposed that he found the haddocks at Riley's lodgings, and that Riley said he hid given prisoner a pint of beer for them. Afterwards witness took the prisoner into custody, when he admitted the robbery, and said he was .very sorry for it. The. Lord Mayor inquired why Webb had not been given into custody as well as the prisoner ? Mr. Williams said Webb had been for some tine in the.employ of the company at 1.8. a-week, to mind horses iu Billingsgate-market, but he (Mr. Williams) did net think the evidence strong enough to giye him into onstOcly upon.
