SPORTING NOTES. PAST AND COMING EVENTS. The lull which precedes the St. Leger storm has com menced. The meetings last week were marked by little im portance, but backers of horses are not likely to forget for some time the dressing which they received at Egharrs. They could not go right, and the fielde rs were quite up roarious at the turn which fortune had taken in their favour. The most interesting gathering of the week was that which I'M brought to a conclusion yester da y at Stockton, for the fields were large and the two-year-old races most important. The announced sale of Lord Derby's horses has created a deep sensation, but it is yet doubtful whfrohem etr the turf, his lordshor ip has determined to retire perm whether he be about to dispose of a" draft" from his stable, with the intention of infusing some new blood into his stud. The sporting world can ill afford to lose a patron possessing the position and influence of Lord Derby, and genuine turtites regret the secession of a nobleman whose name has been long connected with the National Pastime of the people of this country. Lord Derby's turf career has not been marked by great achievements. He has yet wan no Derby, and if our memory serves us aright no St. Leger has fallen to his share. Many great two-yr-old races, and valuable produce stakes, have been carried cif by horses sporting his colours, and with Longbow, the sire of Toxo philite, be won many important engagements, including the Great Yorkshire Stakes. Longbow was a grand-looking horse, and was perhaps the fastest " miler" that ever ran on an English race-course. His greatest coup of late years was winning the Two Thou sand with Fazzoletto, who, however, failed to follow up that achievement at Epsom. Lord Derby's disappointments have been many and vexatious, and how Dervish, Bolardo, Acro bat, and others deceived him must be still fresh in the memory of my readers. John Scott shared the chagrin of defeat with his noble employer, for whom he has long striven to win a Derby, and to that end has exhausted the mysteries of his art in preparing and managing the horses under his charge. This year his hopes seemed about to be realised, but he was doomed to see the black jacket and white cap no nearer than second, and the blue riband snatched from him by an animal whom he certainly had, prior to the race, no just cause to regard with uneasiness. If Lord Derby be about to finish his racing career, he will, perhaps, bring it to a close with a St. Leger vic tory. The pressing cares of office, the demands which the business of the State make upon his time:and attention, may be the main causes for the retiresient of Lord Derby from the turf. The late Lord George Bentinck, than whom a more ardent lover of horse-racing did not exist, found an active political life incompatible with an engagement in turf pursuits. Long may It be, however, before the name of Lord Derby, as an owner of horses, be erased from the calendar. The meetings which are appointed to take place next week will be of minor importance, and the great event of the next six days will be the publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. An attempt which, according to the programme, will only be attended with a mitigated success, has been made to get up a military meeting at Ascot. The scheme, I be lieve, o r iginated with the officers encamped at Aldershot ; but they evidently lacked the material, in the shape of horse flesh, to put their plans into successful execution. The entries are meagre, but as the South-Western Railway Com pany have announced special trains, at reasonable fares, many people may be induced to have a pleasant " out " on Monday. The attractions at Lichfield will be powerful enough to draw the holiday folk of the neighbourhood to the course, and the racing will doubtless command the attention of many professional turfites. Indeed, the meeting has been quite resuscitated by Mr. J. Sheldon, jun. Should old Fisherman go to the post for the Staffordshire Stakes, I should, despite his steadying weight of 9st. Mb., be inclined to trust hint. My next " fancy " is for the colt by the Flying Dutchman out of Gala. Thornhill may win the Copeland, and the Tamworth Plate will be, perhaps, placed to the list of " wins " belonging to either Chautress or My Niece. For the Shenstone Plate I shall stand upon Old Tom. The Dutchman's Daughter seems to me to be as trustworthy as anything amongst the nominations fur the Nursery Handi cap. On the gold Cup it would be absurd at present to ex press an opinion. The Newmarket trainers use Yarmouth as a holiday, and they are satisfied if the meeting be only " jolly." Margery Daw may secure the Nursery, Vulcan or Tame Deer the Nor folk and Suffolk Handicap, and Chance the Borough Members'. The list for Derby is at least respectable, and the meeting will be well supported. Odd Trick and Cockatoo ought to be as close together in the race as they are in the list of entries for the Tradesmen's Plate, Either Indifference or Volcano will show in the first place for the Chesterfield Stakes; for the Members' Plate, Yellow Rose and Hells are the most trustworthy. Lady Kingston, with all her weight, may pull through for the Juvenile Stakes. A FRESH MAN. STOCKTON RACES.—THURSDAY.

A good rowing regatta came oil yesterday at Staines; but owing to the lateness in the season at which the fixture was made was not so good as what we have seen there, although we cannot but commend the committee for their praise worthy exertions in re-establishing the meeting after it had been abolished for some years. There were 11 races in all on the card, but we only give those absolutely of impor tance. The attendance was very great, and the lawn by the London Stone was covered with carriages contsining fashion ables, in addition to an array of beauty and fashion which lined the banks, and bad their ears regalad with music from the 15th Hussars' band, as their eyes were with the racing. The prizes were silver cups. SENIOR SCULLERS' rem Mr. L. C. Poster (Crimson) 1 Mr. St. Vincent Jervis (Red and White) 0 Mr. H. C.

TR'S GALWAY IPACICET STATION. Since this scheme was last referred to in these columns a couple of additional ocean steamers have been purchased by Mr. Lever, and it is in contemplation to form a strong company, with an extensive capital, for the purpose of more efficiently working the project. The direc tors will, of course, be principally Englishmen ; but there is every reason to hope that several leading Irish merchants will take a prominent part in its busi ness. When the company is in working order the plan of operations stated to have been determined upon is to have on the line between Galway and New York 10 first-class ocean steamers, of the highest speed and greatest capacity that can be procured, and at least eight others, to be used as coasters and feeders to the main line, from the ports of Antwerp, Havre, Southampton, Plymouth, London, Liver pool, Bristol, and Glasgow, touching likewise at different points upon the Irish coast which may be considered most expedient for the collection of goods and passengers. The vessels at present upon the line will continue to run until November, when larger steamers will take their place, as it is felt that though abundantly qualified for the require ments of a summer passage, they are hardly of dimensions and power sufficient to contend with the adverse circum stances which must be looked forward to after that date. The steamers will be the best and finest that can be procured for money ; and herein lies the only difficulty, as fast vessels are almost beyond their price, more especially when it is known that a company such as this is in the market. They will, however, be purchased or built, and by next spring it is anticipated that the " Great North Atlantic Steam-ship Company" will be in a position to start a packet weekly be tween this country and America; in winter, of course, such a frequent service will not be necessary. Such of the pre sent vessels as are not considered up to the mark will fall into the second position ; but it may be 'mentioned that great results are expected from the Indian Empire when she makes her reappearance on the line, as she is at present undergoing very heavy repairs, and is to be lengthened to the extent of 30 feet. The Prince Albert is said to have suffered in point of speed upon her voyage by not waiting to have the screw pi operly adjusted; this, however, was owing to the desire of Mr. Lever that the vessels should adhere as closely as possible to the time at which they were advertised to start. Should these designs be successfully carried out, Galway may indeed expect an altered state of fortunes, and already in anticipation property is looking up in that quarter. With a view to a ff ord increased accommo dation to their passengers, as well as greater attraction to their line, Messrs. Lever and Co. have it in contemplation to open about '2,000 booking offices in different quarters, which shall all be in correspondence with the Bank of Ire land, so that a person starting from Galway need not en cumber himself with money, but may draw it tonupo his I I a rrival at Chicago, o r any other important locality hic he may be bound. Mr. Lever's scheme, it will be observed, is really assuming gigantic proportions. Of its success now there can be no reasonable doubt entertained, and as a proof of this it rosy he mentioned that when the Pacific started on Tuesday evening she bad to leave behind her a large quantity of freight, mere having been sent for shipment in her than she could carry. Her passengers amounted, in round numbers, to 190, of whom 80 were from Belfast alone, and her cargo was chiefly composed of linens and musling from Belfast, cotton fabrics from Manchester, and tweeds and shawls from Glasgow and Manchester. She also had ou boa rd a large quantity of hard goods, &c. As the Pacific steamed ou t of Galway Bay Mr. Lever and a number of his friends who accompanied her, along with the first-class passengers, sat down to a substantial dinner, at which his health was drunk, when he replied as flows Why should they not contin ue to promote that increasing intercourse with a country which their fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters had made the home of their , choice and the land of their adoption. (Cheers.) The im portance of this western route was highly appreciated by the Governments on both sides of the Atlantic, and the acknowledged advantages which it presented would un doubtedly secure the transmission of the mails, not only front the United States and British America, but through the Hudson's Bay territory to Vancouver's Island and the gold regions on the Pacific ocean. (Hear and cheers.) Ireland was every day becoming more important, and it only required that all classes of her people should give this company the active support and co-operation which he thought it was entitled to expect ; be especially relied upon the liberal and active co-operation of the several railway interests of Ireland. (Hear.) He might add, with respect to the present Government, that they appreciate this line, and view with confidence the results that must necessarily follow from the establishment of this great western packet sta tion; and from the observations made by his Excellency at Decry chat it ty t was quite evident the Government would give it all the aid wipsohsincseohstseigtssuigiotntrinsic merits entitled it to demand. (Cheers.) And in conclusion permit me (said Mr. Lever) to add a western rally known in Europe that the port of packet sta T io a n ny fo u r n i r b l e va r l a le p d id Galway ittaratunrsamliVivoanntt)fag:isaialss and passengers, bei n g 360 Liverpool.

THE ITALIAN ARTISTES IN DUBLIN. As already intimated these accomplished vocalists are to bid the public of Dublin farewell to-morrow evening in a cantata, written by Signor Aldighieri, and set to music by Signor Qiuglini. This tribute, it is right to add, originated THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVIZNING, AUGUST 28, 1858. with the great tenor ; but it was so warmly taken up by the entire corps that it is now their commn property, as each lias contributed in some shepe to work out his idea. The following is the cantata : GLI ITALIANI AGLI IRLANDESI ADDIO. CORO. Viva l'lrlanda, libera 6 grande, Viva it tuo cielo, viva it tuo suol Dovunque i 1 raggio, del sol si spande, Dovunque 11 vento, agita it vol. Assisa in grembo della tempests, Come guerriera, pronta a pugnar, Chini gentile, labella testa, Come fauciulla, ch'esce dal mar. TERZETTO. Addio ridente, piaggia Irlandese, Addio fratelli, figli del mar, Sia benedetto, l'uom che n'appresse, La vostra sponda a salutar. Ultimi giaci, lontan lontano, Come un perduto, solingo fior, Ma benche figlia, dell' ocaano, Nutri potenti, vita Coro—Viva l'lrlanda, &c. SOLO. Triste si triste, e l'abbandono, Come un' accento, nol puo ridir, Partir ci e forza, offriamo in dono, Un mesto vale, ed un soapir. Ma allor che lunge, su quest.a cara Terra it pertsiero, ritornera, Una segreta, lagrima amara. Sul mesto ciglio, ci spuntera. Il mesto labbro, dira un addio, L'eco per l'aere, lo ridira. Come una prece, rivolta a Dio, L'onda dei pelashi vel porters. Coro—Viva l' Irlanda, THE FAREWELL OF TILE ITALIANS TO IRELAND. CHORUS. Hail to thee, Erin, ever free and great ! Hail to thy changeful skies, thy fertile land! Far as the sun extends its generous hegt ; Far as the winds their rapid wings expand! Set 'mid the stormy seas that gird thee round, A warrior maid thou seem'st, secure and free; Or liftest up thy fair head—ocean crowned — Rising in beauty from thy parent sea. TERZETTO. Kind friends, farewell— adieu each friendly spot, Farewell ycur beauteous mountains, shores, and bays. Happy the hour—and ne'er may be forgot— When these first broke upon our wondering gaze I Thee from our Italy far realms remove, Thou seem': to'us some lonely flow'r on earth, Radient with life, and warmth, and love, Albeit the cold waves may have given thee birth. Chorus—Uail to thee, Erin, &c. SOLO. Glad—Oh, bow glad, is still the hour we meet! Bad—Oh, how sad the hour we needs must part ! The fond farewell I fain would oft repeat— The word is lost 'mid sighs that rend my heart ! And oft, when distant seas between us roll, Back to this loved land will my thoughts return, Regretful memory fill my longing soul, And on my eyelids the mute tear-drop burn! My lips, when far, will falter forth—" Farewell," Back by the breeze its echo will be given ; The waves that part us back my thoughts will tell, As angels waft the unspoke prayer to Heaven ! Chorus—Hail to thee, Erin, 86c. THE POTATO BLIGHT. The following distressing reference to the reappearance ch this virulent disease in the potato appears in the Cork Exa miner :—A correspondent in whom we have most Implicit r eliance informs us that a vir ulent rot has appeared in potato crop all along the coast from Kinsale harbour west ward to Clonakilty. The stalks had continued green to within a few days ago, the yield had been most abundant, and the quality excellent beyond that of the crop of every year since 1844. Nevertheless, our informant states, the de struction has been so enormous as to amount in some in stances to three-fourths of the whole. We must add, how ever, that from almost every other quarter the accounts we receive are decidedly of the most favourable character. But the south and west coast have been always the most suscep tible to the influences of the disease. ADDRESS TO CARDINAL WISEMAN• An address was presented to Cardinal Wiseman by the T own Commissioners of Ballinasloe. The m Car withdin' ex pressed his delight at the reception he bad met , and the erection of their present beautiful church. It was one worthy of the worship of God, whose special providence would never be removed from them. It might be that when they had completed the erection of the tower and tee M ple he would have the gratification of meeting them ag on signor Talbot said—" Circumstances prevented my coming to Ireland for many years. I deeply regret that I did not come among you before this. When I see the feeling of faith, of devotion, of piety, of religion, which you testify in every state—when I see the devotion that you pay the suc cessor of St. Peter, the vicar of Jesus Christ, I feel more deeply still that regret at my long absence fro Emin m e m anceg on you. I accept the office imposed upon me by his with gratitude. When I return to the Holy See, to the Eternal Vatican, and kneel at the foot of the Holy Pontiff, I will tell him what I have here seen—of the faith and devotion mani fested towards him, fully as great as that evinced for him in his own dominions. I accompanied his Holiness on his recent visit through his own dominions, and there indeed did I see the multitudes co me and kneel at his holy feet, and kiss the hem of his garment; but their devotion was for himself— they had him before the ; but here it is in his representa tive that he is honoured. m " EXCITEMENT IN DUNMANWIY. The Cork Constitution says :—" This town has been the scene of most unusual excitement for the last few days, in consequence of a bowling match which was to take place between two persons—a Protestant and a Roman Catholic. The fact probably of their being of different belief caused the excitement to be much more than otherwise. The match came off on Monday, but was not finished when the day closed. Thousands were collected to witness it, and afterwards a feeling was manifested not at all creditable to the actors. One of the parties—the Roman Catholic—was taken on the shoulders of some men and pare led through the town till a late tour last night, followed by immense Crowds, cheering tremendously and waving green boughs, and shouting occasionally, Here's a Papist,' Hurrah for a Papist,' and such other expressions. However, the Pro testant party showed more good sense than to notice it. The constabulary were all under arms, and patrolled the streets until the excitement was somewhat subdued. On Tuesday the feeling again got vent, and while I write the shouting through the streets is most annoying. It is but right to mention that none of the respectable Roman Catholic inhabitants connected themselves with the affair." DR. PAUL CULLEN AND THE POOR-LAW COMMIS - This . overbearing ecclesiastic has just been foiled in an attempt to usurp the authority of the Poor Law Commis sioners. To a certain extent, it is true, he has gained his point ; but the principle he sought to establish in bis favour has not been admitted. The following correspondence w;' explain the matter : LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AuG. 27. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE COX. IN RE UNDERWOOD. " 55, Eccles-street, Aug. 19, 1858.

He then set up on his own account, in White Hart-court, but made bad debts, and &though having private resources his expenditure ex ceeded the profits, and he was unsuccessful, partly from the high price of wine, and partly from trade falling off. ,His Honour—What is a case of wine? Mr. Moss—A dozen, your honour. (Laughter.) The Commissioner said he could not grant more than a common certificate. Young men should not begin by set ting up for themselves, but by learning a business. Common certificate accordingly. IN RE SKEEN.

Mr. Clarke remarked that between £6OO and £7OO had already been received, and the bankrupt had eight children and a sister, who attended to them, to support. Mr. Shepheard, for the assignees, not objecting to the application, it was granted. CITY SIIERIFFS' COURT.—Aun. 27. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) THE VALUE OF AN I 0 U.-WELLER AND ANOTHER v. 31`MILLEN. Mr. Nash, for the plaintiffs, stated that they were execu tors to a person named Squires, amongst whose effects were found an I 0 U for L 4 10s., signed by defendant. Upon being applied to for the money, defendant averred that he had paid the debt, but as no account could be found in plaintiffs' books, or any endorsement on the back of the I 0 U, plaintiffs proceeded for the amount. Mr. Perry (from Mr. Buchanan's, of Basinghall-street) stated that from time to time various sums had been paid by defendant to the deceased, and that in the presence of wit nesses. Accordingly he called several witnesses, who swore to the amount having been paid. Mr. Nash said be would consent to a nonsuit. Mr. Perry could not understand how Mr. Nash could move for a nonsuit in the face of such evidence, and his Honour found for defendant. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN CIVIL LAW -LEWIN V. EMERSON. In this case, plaintiff, a cook, sought to recover the sum of £5 10s. money lent to defendant's wife. Mr. Perry, fur defendant, examined plaintiff at consider able length as to the fact of the money having been lent with defendant's knowledge. Plaintiff said that Mr. Emer son was well aware that the money had been lent for an oc casion, and said, "I think it's about 505." Defendant's wife had left him. Mr. Perry said defendant allowed his wife 245. per week, and she bad no reason to borrow the money. If plaintiff would produce any document of authenticity, defendant would pay. Upon this plaintiff produced a book, in which were various entries made, as plaintiff alleged, at the several times she lent the money. The book was a ge neral memorandum book. Upon looking at it, his Honour said that it was a circumstantial document. Mr. Perry then called defendant, who said that the money had not been lent with his knowledge. He did not say that if plaintiff produced any acknowledgment he would Pay. His Honour thought plaintiff had told a feasible story, backed by circumstantial documentary evidence, and he should give his verdict for the amount. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION - HOUSE.—A seaman, named Edward Thompson, was charged by Mr. Coleman, clerk to the Registrar of Seamen its the department of the Board of Trade, under the Merchant Shipping Act, section 176, with having fraudulently used a certificate of service and two reports of conduct belonging to one William Allen, a sea man. The penalty to which a transgressor is subjected by the act is £lOO, or imprisonment for six months. Wm. Dean, shipping-master, Minories, said—On Thurs day the defendant was brought to the office with other seamen by a captain who desired to skip him as one of his crew. He gave his name as William Allen, and made his mark to that name, stating that be could neither write nor read. After having made his mark, he handed in a discharge in the name of William Allen, from a vessel called the Isle of France. I asked him how long he had been in his last ship, and be replied that he could not exactly say ; and my suspicion having been excited by the answer I put other questions to him, from his answers to which it appeared that he neither knew where the Isle of France went on her last voy age, nor the name of the captain of that vessel. I mentioned my suspicions, and he then produce d two p a p ers, purporting to be reports of the character of " William Allen," whose ability and conduct were described as very good, and he stated that they bed been given to him by another captain, with whom he had sailed in the William Hammond since he bad left the Isle of France. I was confirmed in my sus picions by this, and I sent him to the office of the Registrar of the Board of Trade for examination. Mr. Coleman, the clerk to the registrar, said—The de fendant was brought to me, and he repeated to me what has been mentioned by Mr. Dean. I asked him where the Wil liam Hammond went on the voyage in which he repre sented himself as having sailed in her. He said he had :sailed to the West Indies. I then told him that his statement must be false, as there could not have been time for such a voyage since the date of the discharge from the Isle of France, which was only April, 1833. After putting some other questions to him, I asked him where he got the discharge ; to which he answered, " From the Sailors' Home, in Wells-street." The discharge bad been actually given to William Allea at another oflice. At last the defendant said his name was " Edward Thompson," that he hail lost his own discharge, and that the discharge he produced had been given to him by somebody. He said that he could neither write nor read ; but I produced to him articles which he had signed some time ago in very good writing; as Edward Thompson. In two discharges given to the defendant by captains with whom he had sailed his ability was described as good; but the master of the Cal cutta, one of the vessels, bad refused to give him a character for anything but ability. The Lord Mayor—Defendant, the signature which was written by you is written in a hand of which no man need be ashamed, and therefore your assertion as to your inability to write or read was in itself a fraudulent representation. Defendant—l said what I did because I was afraid of getting the man who gave me that discharge into some trouble. The Lord Mayor—Not at all. You were only thinking of yourself. You knew well that you were committing a serious offence, for the certificate you produced described your ability as good, but the captain refused to say any thing about your conduct. Defendant—l had a few words with him before I left the ship. That was the cause. The Lord Mayor—No captain would refuse to give you a certificate. He is compelled by law to give one if you deserve it. Mr. Coleman—A captain is compellable by law to give a certificate as to ability; hut it is optional with him to certify as to conduct. The Lord Mayor—lt is not at all likely that a captain would refuse to give a certificate of character if it were de served, and the defendant has committed a most serious offence in representing himself to be of good character, when, inflict, his character is liable to the greatest imputation. A bad seaman may cause the loss of a ship and the passengers, and whenever a case of the kind is proved before me I shall visit it with severe punishment. The defendant has ren dered himself liable to a penalty of £lOO or imprisonment for six months. I shall, however, under all the circum stances, mitigate the penalty to £lO or imprisonment for one month, and hard labour for that period. The defendant was then committed. S Wm.SCThNillltNon7pEl plumber n a l n ri d n a s i atE azie rt r ' ! /l o t : street, Beigrave-square, appeared before Mr. Paynter to a summons, charged with having assaulted Mr. Ed ward Summers, baker, Motcomb - street , Belgrave-square. Mr. Smyth attended for the defendant. Complainant stated that he employed defendant to make some repairs. He commenced them, and for some days Co worked on at the repairs, when he sudde nl y left. - plainant, as be had not finished his wo rk, went to him, when he found that he was at the house of Mr. Barber, a green grocer, in Bridge-row, Chelsea. He went there last Wed - ries''ay week, and also on the following day. On that day (the Thursday) when at the house of Mr. Barber, the de fendant came up from the cellar with a shovel in his hand, with which he gave him (complainant) a cut across his shins. In answer to Mr. Smyth, complainant observed that he would not say that on the third day he did not remark, "You are down there, you villain." It is likely he said that god for -nothing vagabond." Ile cltd not see defendant before o lie struck him with the spade on the Thursday. Mr. Punter remarked that when come lairant applied tforo\l%it,elii William if s a u ma m y n le l l o ?Ta n u s is, , e 1 1 .4 . i e ,), u s lu:oliwieoiui character..tsiittrneteht,e wound, which appeared w. p corroboratedpr e d complainant's evidence. Mr. Smyth said that by his instructsPiOlt-111es °h'e to show that the injury inflicted was quite accidFritel, and that it occurred on the occasion while complainant was waving his umbrella, which defendant thought WaS about to be aimed at him, what, in his attempt to ward off the blow, he struck the complainant accidentally. He called wit nesses. They were present to give evidence, but Knowland, a warrant officer of the court, said t hat they had been present during ti l e whole of the examination, though he had, in compliance with the order of the magistrate, directed them o be out of court. Mr. Paynter observed that be should not put ouch con fidence in evidence after that. Samuel Barber and a female were sworn. Mr. Smyth wished to have the case sent to the county court. Mr. Paynter remarked that, if the case were sent there, defendant would be subject to heavy damages, and he thought he could give his decision upon it. It would have been more discreet, perhaps, if the complainan t had not gone to the house where defendant was. It was, however, not only a serious, but a most unprovoked assault. Defendant was fined £5, including 10s. costs, which was immediately paid. STEALING FROM A CHILD IN THE STREET.- Sarah Wisfield, residing at No. 36, York - stre et, P roc tor, aged was charged with stealing three penny-pieces from Je ssie ye.trs, who resides w ith her parents, at Cut more's-build ings, Queen's-road, It appeared that on the previous afternoon the when d n was sent by her mother to purchase some article, when, i Princess-row, Police-constable Oliver, B 41, saw her in the company of the prisoner, and he having his suspicions, seeing that the child was decently dressed, and t hat the p risoner was in tattered prisoner take something out of the child's han d, after which garments, watched them. He observed the prisoner left her. The officer went to the child, who told him that the prisoner had taken her money. He appre hended the prisoner, and took her to the child's mother, who told him that she had given her child three penny pieces. The prisoner took five penny-pieces from her pocket, one of which had the initials " J.H. upon it, which was identified by the mother. The prisoner was committed for trial, bail being ac cepted. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— UNPROVOKED As- Nt.uvr.—John Bracegirdle, a well-dressed person, was charged with the following assault on Walter Vinor, of 17, Seymour-place, Bryanstou-square : The complainant said he was passing along Lanzham place about 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, when the de fendant suddenly rushed out of a public-house, and, without saying a word, cut him across the face with a gotta percha whip. The prisoner repeated his blows, but he (complainant) warded them off until the prisoner was secured. He had never seen the prisoner before. The blow ou the face nearly cut through the skin. Thomas Southarn, a witness, was passing, and saw the defendant cut the complainant with his whip, as if he meant to cut him in two. The defendant, in reply, said he was sorry for what had had happened ; he had drunk rather too much, and was really not aware of having assaulted any one. Mr. Bingham fined him £3 or one month. The complainant then asked if he was to have no recom pense for being knocked about without any cause and for his loss of time. Defendant—l think £3 is quite enough for knocking you about. I wish I had knocked you about ten times as much. Mr. Bingham said if complainant preferred receiving 40s. as a recompense for his sufferings and loss of time he did not see any objection to the matter being settled in that way. Provided the defendant would give him £2 compensation he would remit the fine. The defendant consented to give D 2, and was accordingly discharged. SUSPECTED PERSON. —henry Ball, well-known to the police as a constant associate of thieves, was placed at the bar for re-examination from the 20th inst. charged with loitering about Sackville.street, Piccadilly, with two others, not in custody, with intent to commit felony. Three skeleton and four other door keys having been found on the prisoner by Cole, the detective officer who had been watching him and his companions' movements the preceding night, the magistrate remanded the case until yesterday (Friday), in order that inquiry might be made respecting the prisoner and his habits. Sergeant Potter, D 16, now said he well knew the pri soner to be a companion of convicted thieves, and that for a long time past. lie knew him by the name of Deane, and found it necessary to look very closely after him on the occasion of the extensive robbery at 68, Great Portland street, about 12 months ago (for which Sankey, the police man who, it may be recollected, had charge of the premises and a man named White, marine store-dealer, as the re ceiver, were convicted and sentenced to penal servitude). Sergeant Crocker confirmed the witness's statement as to the prisoner being an associate of convicted thieves. Mr. Bingham said a man found lurking about the streets at night, unable to give a good account of himself, or to explain for his possession of three skeleton keys, must be put out of the way for a time, and he should therefore pnt the prisoner out of the way for three months. MARYLEBONE. ROBBERY BY A SERVANT. — Mary Ryan, a very neatly-dressed young woman, aged 17, in the service of Mr. Stoker, coffee-house keeper , C ar dington-street, Hampstead-read, was placed at the bar, charged with having robbed her master. Prosecutor deposed that on the previous night he went out to close his shutters, and while doing so he recollected that he had left his keys in the cupboard, in which, amongst other property, was his cashbox. He returned in-doors, and found the prisoner with the box in her lap, and as she was iu the act of helping herself to money he called in a constable and gave her in charge. The box contained from Do to £l5. Prosecutor added that the prisoner had not been in her situation more than a fortnight. Palmer, 332 S, stated that when he took the prisoner she had in her hand two half-crowns and three shillings, which she asserted were her own. There was 2s. 9-0. lying on a table close by, and she alleged that that was her master's, at the sametime admitting that she had taken it. The prisoner was dealt with summarily, and sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for three months. CHARGE OF HORSE-STEALING. — A ma n named Harr i s was brought up by Inspector Durdle, of the Great Western Railway police, on a charge preferred against him by Mr. Edward Burridge, of the Herefordshire constabulary, of having stolen a horse, the property of his father, and which he had brought from Ross by train. He was captured by Mr. Burridge, who had got to the terminus before him 's as he was about to take the animal away from the company premises he was questioned as to bow the horse came into his possession, when he at first asserted that he had it from a person with whose name or address he was unacquainted, but subsequently admitted that he had stolen it from his father. The prisoner was given over to the superintendent to be conveyed by him into the county in which the robbery was committed. SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A BOY.—George Grover, a farrier, living in Burwood-mews, Paddington, was charged with having assaulted, with an iron rod, James Manning, a boy aged 15, who, as stated by Kershaw, 124 D, was in Paddington Hospital. Owing to the injury he received it was not likely that he would be able for three or four days to attend at the court to give evidence. The accused, when be was taken, alleged to the officer that he merely intended to sprinkle some water over the lad, and that the rod which was in his hand at the time unfortunately slipped out and caused the hurt. Defendant was liberated on giving bail for his reappear ance next Tuesday. CLERKENWELL.—CTIARGE OF FURIOUS DRITING AND WILFUL DAMAGE.—Joseph Powell, the driver of the metropolitan omnibus, No. 6,440, the property of the London General Omnibus Company, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by a cabman named James Martin, of 11, Sussex-street, Tottenham-court-road, " for that the de fendant did, on Wednesday, August 18, at half-past nine at night, in St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell, unlawfully, by furious driving, cause damage to a cab, the property of Mrs. Mary Ann Earl." It appeared from the evidence of the complainant tha , on the night in question, he had put a fare dawn in North ampion-square, Clerkenwell, and was earning up Charles street to go down Myddelton-street. Charles-street was in a direct line, he crossing St. John-street on the left hand side, being his right side. The defendant was driving down St. John-street-road at a furious rate, and turned so sud denly round to get into Myddelton-street, that the pole of his omnibus ran into the off side of the cab. The defendant then called to him (complainant), who was going at the rate of between five and six miles per hour. The defendant had no command over his horses, but he pulled up after he had got the distance of 10 yards in Myddelton-street. It would require £ 2 to repair the cab. At the time of the collision the defendant had his head turned to his conductor. In cross-examination by Mr. Wakeling, the complainant swore that the defendant's horses were running dawn St. John-street-road at the rate ofl2 miles an:hour, and that he crossed St. John-street-road on the left-hand side,which was his right side. He did not stop at the Coach and Horses public-house or go on the right hand in crossing St. John street-road to get into Myddelton-street. Two other witnesses were called, but did not carry the case any further. One of them said that complainant was close to the lamp post opposite the public-house, and neither could judge at the rate the defendant was driving, though it was furious. Mr. Wakeling, haying addressed his worship upon the evidence, said his case was, that the complainant crossed on the right hand of St. John-street-road, being his wrong side, and was called to by the defendant, which he did not heed, a nd through his misconduct the accident occurred. He then called James Rendall, who stated that he was a passenger, sitting by the side of the defendant, who was driving under six miles an hoar. The omnibus was full. Before the omnibus came to Myddelton-street he saw the complainant crossing St. John-street-road on the right-band side, making to the Coach and Horses public-house, and the defendant called twice to the complainant, who took no notice, and it was then the accident occurred in about the middle of the road in Alyddelton-street. Mr.Tyrwhitt expressed himself satisfied with this witness, and dismissed the summons. SPECIAL PLEADING Fir A BOY.—James Walton, a boy about 10 years of age, was summoned at the instance of the police authorities of the N divisor), with unlawfully ex posing fruit for sale upon the carriage-way, so as to cause an obstruction. The defendant, when asked whether he was guilty or not guilty, pleaded that he was not guilty, as what he was sell ing on the day its question was cucumbers and onions. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not say that cucumbers and onions were fruit, and dismissed the summons. CRUEL AND SYSTEMATIC ROBBERlES.—Elizabeth Collins, a young woman, aged 9:2, described on the police sheet as a bootbinder, refusing her address, but who, it may be stated, was very fashionably attired, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing £8 10s., from 61, Ossulston-street, Somers-town, the money of Kate Mary Stevens; and also with stealing a box of linen, and some trinkets, of the value of £7, from a servant of the name of Eliza Meads. When the case was called on there were no less than seven persons stepped forward is prefer charges against the pri soner. The first case gone into, that of the robbery of Miss Stevens, was a very cruel and heartless one. It appeared that the prosecutrix had only a few days before the robbery been delivered of a child, and the prisoner, apparently from motives of kindness, waited upon her. One morning she gave the prosecutrix a little gin and water, which caused her to fall asleep, and when she awoke the prisoner had de camped, taking with her the whole of the money the prose cutrix had saved to purchase her infant's clothes with, and thus left her in the greatest distress. The next case taken was that of the robbery of clothes from Eliza Meads, then a servant out of a situation. The pri soner slept with this prosecutrix to save expense, and during her temporary absence tank the opportunity of steal ing one of her boxes, containing nearly the whole of her under clothing, a chain, and some trinkets. When the pri soner was searched at the police-station the chain and trinkets, as well as some petticoats she yeas wearing, were found upon her and at once identifi d. In snottier case it seemed that a poor woman, whose husband was out of em ployment, was endeavouring to earn a livelihood by beot hinding, and took the prisoner in to assist her. While absent nicking a small purchase, the prisoner stole all her tools, as well as some articles of clothing and some books, and was not seen anything more of until she was apprehended in Tottenham-court-toad. Iu her reticule was found a bottle of rum. The prisoner declined to ask any of the witnesses any questions, or to say anything in answer to the charges. She said they might find out where she lived, but she would not tell. The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly, was remanded by Mr. Tyrwhitt until Thursday next. LAMBETIL—A HARD CASE—EXTRAORDINARY CON DUCT OF A FRENCH BARON.--Two invlliaent men in the garb of mechanics applied to the Hon. G. C. Norton for his advice and assistance under the following somewhat dis tressing circumstances : From the statement of the applicants it appeared that in the month of June last they were engaged by Baron Amedee Baillot to proceed to Russia to assist in carryinz out a pro- Pct of manufactering gas from rosin, a nd light the princ i p al cities and towns in that extensive empire, t h e baron repre senting that he had the sanction of the Russian Govern ment to kis undertaking, and that amongst its patrons were the Archduke Constantine, Baron Brunnow, Sec. Be lieving the baron's representatioes, and his offers of remune ration being liberal and much more than that which they were earning at the time, they were led to acce p t them, and at his request they attended at the office of a solicitor, in Parliament-street, and sioned a written agreement. One of the applicants here handed to the bench an agreement, which was writ+ en on a half-crown stamp, and was read by Mr. Norton. The following is a COPY 1858 between C° Agreement made this 14th day of June, , Baron Ameelee Baillot, on the first part, and James Beale rosin distiller, of London, on the second. I, James Beale, hereby agree and bind myself to give my ser vices to the party of the first part for one year from this day, the 14th of June, 1858 and '59, to proceed to any place and to any part of Russia the first party may direct me. I, James Beale, also bind myself to keep secret the part of the first party's business—the desire not to be publicly known, and strive to promote the first party's business and interest, and will do all in my power to inform him of all that passes, and in every way watch his interest.

SOUTHWARK.—EXTENSIVE PLUNDER BY A BAR MAN.—Henry Howes, a respectable -looking young man, under barman to Mr. William Sudell, a licensed victualler at the Noah's Ark, 360, Blackfriars-road, was brought be fore Mr. Burnham for final examination charged with robbing his employer to a serious extent. Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. The show of samples of new wheat offering were not in good condition, and prim were rather lower ; for old the prices of last Friday were firmly held. All other articles as before, and they were fully as dear. Edwin for the prisoner. The prosecutor said that the prisoner bad bee n in his employ twelve mantbs as potman and under-barman. It was a portion of his duty to attend upon customers behind the bar and put the money in the till. On Tuesday night last, about 9 o'clock, while witness was at supper in the bar parlour, his brother brought the prisoner into the room by his wrist, exclaiming, " I have caught him," and at the same time two shillings dropped from the prisoner's hand. Witness sent for a constable, when the prisoner wanted to go up stairs, but he prevented him, and on the arrival of the constable he was searched, and 255. 10d. found on him in silver and copper, and a half-sovereign, besides a set of gold studs and a purse. He then sent up stairs for his box,which, being opened, a smaller box was found, and the prisoner was asked what that contained. He replied, " Eighteen pounds which he had from his uncle, and that it had never been opened while he had been there." The contents of that box were counted, and amounted to £l6 in gold, and £2 in silver. Among the gold he identified a sovereign and a half which had been in his possession during the last six weeks. In the large box was also found a new watch and chain, a pint and a half of brandy, and a quantity of cigars. There were also numerous articles of new clothing, which appeared to have been recently purchased. Mr. Burcham asked what wages ,he bad given the pri soner ? Mr. Sudell replied that he paid him ss. a week, with his his board and lodging, and presents at times. Mr. Solomon asked how much he had paid him since be had been in his service ? Mr. Sudell said, about £l2 wages and £3 gratuities. By Mr. Edwin—He never told me that he had any money of his own until his box was searched. Mr. Henry Sudell said he lived with his brother (the last witness), and on Tuesday night was serving in the bar About nine o'clock he saw the prisoner take two shillings from the till; and as he was about to serve a customer, be (witness) seized hold of him by the wrist, and forced him into the bar-parlour, where his brother was at supper. The two shillings then dropped from his hand. The prisoner's uncle was here called forward, and he denied having at any time given him £lB. On Sunday last he did give him half a sovereign. Edwin Smith, 66 L, said he took the prisoner into cus tody for stealing two shillings from his master's till. He told witness he did not mean to steal the money ; he in tended to put it back into the till. Witness searched him, and found 255. 10d. on him. In his boxes were found upwards of £22, snaking altogether £24, besides a silver watch and chain, a pint and a half of brandy, and a bundle of cigars. The prisoner said £lB was given him by his uncle. Thr prisoner, by the advice of Mr. Edwin, his solicitor, pleaded guilty, and asked his worship to deal with him under the New Crimical Justice Act. The prosecutor also made a similar application. Mr. Burcham told the prisoner that he been guilty of a very serious offence, and had it not been for the wish of the prosecutor he should have sent him to the sessions for trial. Under all the circumstances he should sentence him to six months' hard labour, and order all the money and property to be handed over to the prosecutor. The prisoner was then removed. IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS AND THEIR CLOCKS. — George Linford, a highly-respectable licensed victualler, proprietor of the Royal George, Great George-street, Ber mondsey, was summoned by the police for unlawfully having his house open for the sale of beer, spirits, &c., before the hour of one o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the 15th inst. Mr. Solomon appeared for defendant. Edwin Coleman, 53 M, said that on the day in question be was on duty in Great George-street, near Bermondsey Old Church, and about nine minutes to one he saw defendant's potman coming from the house with a can containing about a pot of beer. He was nearly opposite the church then, and on looking sideways be perceived the defendant's doors open. He proceeded there, and saw the front of the bar crowded, and people being served with beer, &c. He told Mr. Lin ford that he had done wrong by opening before one. He replied, "It is past one—look at my clock." Witness did so, and that was 10 minutes past. In doss-examination Coleman said that when he saw the doors open he could only see the house sideways by standing close to the wall, and he could just see the church clock. Mr. Solomon here contended that, in the situation the officer was in, it would be impossible to see the church clock distinctly, consequently he might be mistaken as to the time. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said he knew the locality well, and he thought it would be difficult for the officer to distinguish the church clock where he was standing. At the same time, he knew that the clocks varied very much in that locality. Mr. Solomon said that his client was a highly respectable licensed victualler, and had ne idea of breaking the law. He had instructed him to say th at, in order to get his house clear by 12 on Saturday night, the hands of the clock were put forward 10 minutes, and he believed the barman forgot to put them back on Sunday morning. His worship thought there was a doubt in the case, there fore defendant must have the benefit of it. The summons was therefore dismissed. THAMES.—ROBBERY IN THE ST.

Peek's cart. The prisoner then drove d r ove his horse and cart away, an d b ac ked his cart un der another oop eof the warehouse, and h called out "Coffee, coffee. A real bag of c o ff ee con signed to Messrs. P eek was here deliv e r ed to him, and he was about to leave the dock, wh en he was stopped by Mr.' the superintendent of the de c k company ' s g N t i o u li t c n e f"d' ,and taken into custody. A man named Charles Hagen, a marker in the employ of the dock company, who saw the whole transaction, and who suspected a rob bery was intended, when he saw the prisoners and Elsden earnestly conversing together in the ware house, narrowly watched the three rogues, and gave infor mation to a watchman, who commu n i ca t e d with Mr, Mum ford. The superintendent of police went to the yard at the back of the warehouse and took the false bag of coffee out of the cart, and asked Gore how be came by it, to which he replied that he knew nothing about it, that he came for a beg of coffee and had got a bag of coffee. Mr. Mumford added that Smith and Elsden had no right to deliver a bag of coffee at all, and that the one they had delivered was made up for the purposes of plunder. Elsden had absconded. Mr. Selfe asked what was meant by a false bag of coffee ? to which Mr. Mumfard replied that the bag r f coffee im properly delivered to Gore by Smith and Elsden was not a cargo bag, and had no marks or rotation number upon it, but was filled with raw coffee plundered from bulk in the warehouse. It was intended by the thieves to have two bags of coffee from the warehouse. Mr. Selfe could not understand how the thieves could have managed to get out of the duck with two bags of stolen coffee if they had been put into Messrs. Peek's cart, unless forged passes had been written and signed by an officer of the dock company. Mr. Mumfard explained the case at considerable lengtb, and said the scheme to obtain possession of the bags of coffee was a most artful one. A delivery order for one bag of coffee, consigned to Peek, Brothers, wr,s left at the ware house in the morning, and upon that Messrs. Peek's carman received an identity note to be delivered to the warehouse keeper. On the delivery of the bag of coffee the carman would have to obtain a written pass-note, to be given to the gate-keeper on leaving the dock. On Wednesday, when NEWARK CORN-AUG. 25.

Although there was in the beginning of the year a lull in the pro cesses of destruction and reconstruction in the City, in con sequence of the failure of a leading speculator, it may now be seen that the hesitation which prevailed as to the advan tages of the system are at an end, and it is going on steadily. The fact that the eigantic caravanserai of commerce- . Gresham House, in Old Broad-street—has let well, has told powerfully on investors ; for if such a large operation cats be successfully accomplished, it is thought there is hope for smaller undertakings. Of course there are sets of chambers in many places unlet, for some people think they have nothing else to do but to turn an old inn or ware house in some out of the way place into offices, clap on s heavy rent, and let them at once, without regard to the nature of the trade in the district, or the facilities of access. Gresham House, and 17, Gracechurch-street, cwe much of their success to their having good outlets, for where clerk* and messengers are being sent out continually, the loss of s minute or two in having to run round the corner of a street is seriously felt. A great part of the value of Gresham House is owing to the outlet in Bishopsgate-street, inde pendent of that in Broad-street ; for otherwise the situation in Broad-street would be inconvenient, as it is in an island, formed by Broad-street, Threadneedle street, Bishopsgate street, and Wormwood-street. Therefore, unless suf ficient property can be get together to give this access—unless the frontage is in a first-rate sittiation , like Cornhill—the speculation is likely to be a failure. It is likewise found that a site too narrow is inconvenient, and hence there are many single plots of building ground front which the houses have been cleared, and which now remain unlet, after a delay of many months. Another class Of operations which has failed has been where an old Inn has been turned into small rooms, as in Guildhall-chambers, in Basinghall-street, of which a large portion is commonly uu let. Old Jewry-chambers have done better; but where a long way has to be gone up to reach the required office, and there is the same way to be followed back again, success cannot be relied an. "No thoroughfare" seems to have small attrac tion for a man of business. Very likely if a house at the back of Guildhall-chambers were annexed to it, so as to reach Coleman-street, it would become one of the best in vestments of the day. The plan of two small rooms in a set as offices is found very inconvenient, because when a Inge wants to extend his business by the addition of another roosts or two, he cannot do so, and is obliged to change his address, which is a great annoyance, even to the young beginner- His cards and circulars must be altered, and his country customers, who come up once a year, must have a hunt for him. A set of offices should never be in less than four, as is the case in Gresham House and the best examples. This allows of letting ene, two, three, o r four offices together, and, consequently, of the expansion of business. It happens, too, that a man gets a new busi ness or agency, for which he requires a separate entrance and access for clerks and customers, but employing hi s former private room. This he cannot compass in the old houses with two rooms on a floor. Some endeavour is being made to compensate for this by building eut on the ground floors a room over the small back yard and watercloset, vat's a top light; but very few of these are found convenien t, and there is a great objection to them. The new chambers let, not because there is a want of rooms in the City , bu t because there is a want of rooms and sets suitable fur c ou n t' ing-houses, although very fit for bed-rooms..—Bui/d tso It ews.
