A Royal Commission is to be appointed to in quire and report on the all-important question of the construction or suitable Harbours of Refuge at proper points along the English coast. There had been a committee of the House of Commons which gave very interesting and valuable hints on the subject. But, unfortunately, from the terms of the resolution under which it was ap pointed, it could not enter into many points, re specting which information was urgently required. A Royal Commission was therefore urgently called for, and to the credit of the Board of Admiralty, and the Government generally, it has been promptly and gracefully conceded. We cannot conceive any topic more interesting to English/Ten than that now under discussion. If BRITANNIA desires to maintain her maritime supremacy, to be consi(lered as the " Queen of the Ocean," every proper exertion should be made to deserve the title. The national wealth is main tained by our trade and commerce ; but that trade and commerce is unquestionably injured — the expense of insurance is greatly increased—in consequence of the dangers attendant on our coast navigation. There is a double purpose to be achieved. The mercantile marine should receive every possible protection, so that what may be termed " pre ♦entible" risks may be aveit3d so far as practi cable, while the safety of the Channel fleet—and, thanks to Lord DERBY and his colleagues, we are, at fength to have a bona fide Channel fleet —must also be taken into consideration. For both rea sons, not a single hour should be lost in striving to remedy the grave sins of omission that could so fairly and unanswerably be laid to our charge. If we lcok to the situation of the south-eastern coast, from the Isle of Wight to the mouth of the. Thames, it will be seen that there is not a single port between Portsmouth and Dover, a diatance, in round tering, of one hundred and fill miles, that could be regarded as promising shelter and protection to seamen—no statio bent fida carinis in which the labouring barque can find the much-required refuge. There are at least three prominent headlands in the interval, and woe to the heavily-laden ship that is driven on a lee shore by an adverse wind between them. And yet between Selsea Bid and Beachey Head, there i s a place which might easily be rendered avail able, and at a comparatively trivial outlay, con sidering the incalculable advantages that such a harbour would confer on the sh 7 pping interests, and that includes the interests of the general community, whether they are directly interested as importers, or exporters, or consumers. They pay so heavily for the dangcrs affecting the car gots that, locking at it merely as a matter of ( 1., it would be found much cheaper to 1 rc vent the (Nils which press so heavily on tha pockets of the community by an adequate outlay in the first instance. But the matter should be regarded in a more elevated point of view. The lives of our hardy seamen —the true British heart of oak—should not be endangered through any paltry cheeseparing notions of economy. As we have already stated, Newhaven is admi rably adapted for the purpose of a harbour of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY _EVENING, JULY 20, 1858. refuge. There is scarcely any wiud t) which vessel, between the headlands already alluded to, could be exposed, in which it would not be avail able. It is already one of the packet stations to France, the distance to Dieppe being but 64 miles. There is a fine blue clay bottom, with admirable anchorage in eight fathoms water, at a short distance from the harbour. A breakwater was recommended to be made by a Naval Commission, some years ago, which would yield shelter to a large fleet riding at anchor under its lee. Besides, the coast would supply plenty of material for the erection of a barrier running from the shore into deep water, and thereby intercept theshingle rolling to the eastward, which would in time so accumulate as to afford ample protection from westerly or south-westerly gales. Then the harbour of Newhaven could be deepened so as to afford shelter to a fleet of sailing vessels and steamers, to be available for offence or defence at a few hours' notice. The river Ouse runs into the sea at the mouth of the harbour, and would be invaluable for watering ships. The expense of making a suitable harbour would be repaid by the saving in insurance on all vessels bound for the port of Lon don from the south-east or west would alone pay 50 per cent. on the outlay, The claims of Newhaven will of course be prominently brought before the Royal Commissioners, and we believe that the guardians of the public purse will have no hesitation in granting the funds requisite for this great act of pressing, if not indispensable, utility. When once a child has received, and appropri ated any object, however earnestly it was sought after, it speedily loses the charm that constituted its chief attraction. It is soon neglected, and if practicable discarded for some other fancy. So it is with the House of Commons, with regard to the purification of the Thames. That was " the whistle " which it was prepared to purchase at any cost. The Government were assailed from every quarter with loud remon strances and ominous threats. Plague, or some terrible disease, would probably be engendered by its pestilential exhalations, and for that Lord DERBY and his colleagues would be clearly responsible. They would find jarors as willing to convict them as those who found L )rd JOHN RUSSELL guilty of wilful murder bezause an unfortunate man died of starvation in the county of Mayo during the Irish famine. But Lord DERBY has not been guilty of any siu of omission. The moment the magnitude of the nuisance was apparent it was fairly grappled with, and an adequate measure was prepared for its speedy abatement. It was probably the best that could be prepared at so brief a notice. There had undoubtedly been considerable inquiry o the subject, and ample information had been oL tained. But few Governments, with so reason able an excuse for procrastination, would have introduced so important a measure, involving so large an outlay, at the fag-end of the session, a fortnight before the prorogation ; and for that graceful concession to public opinion, for that total disregard of red-tapism, the Ministry, collec tively and individually, are entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the entire community, not merely the inhabitants of the metropolis or its vicinity, but of all, from the Land's-end to John o'Groat's. There were several questions of no trivial mag- 1 nitude to be decided. First, by whom should the cost be borne, and the expenditure regulated ? Should it be regarded as a national or local question ? It was determined that the cost should be exclusively defrayed by the me tropolitan districts, and it followed almost as a necessary corollary that the management thereof should be entrusted to a local body. There was fortunately one in existence that fulfilled every condition. The Metropolitan Board of Works had been chosen by public election forsuch dutiesand it is well qualified to carry them into operation. But it has been said that there should be a Government control over them, and that they should not be entrusted with absolute power to tax their fellow citizens. This was the rock on which every argosy hitherto launched was wrecked. It contained all the vices of every double Governuaet. It might be sure—but it was inevitably slow. It led to the adoption of rival schemes by conflicting authori ties, and while the much suffeting inhabitants of the metropolis were suffering in health, purse and comfort, and would have " been happy with either, were to'ther dear charmer away." Nothing could he accomplished or even commenced until the scientific disputa had been brought to a con clusion, or, in other words, the Greek Kalends. This difficulty has wisely been avoided. The Metropolitans have evinced sound discretion in selecting a sound scheme, unquestionally one of the best, if not the very best that could be adopted. It was also authorised to raise a large sum of money, and that it might be enabled to do so on easy terms, a Government guarantee is tendered to the extent of three mil lions sterling, and a rate is to be levied of 33. in the pound, which, it is calculated, will, by means of a sinking fund, extinguish the entire liability in 40 years. There are many hon. gen tlemen assuming the mantle of prophecy, and freely predicting that much more will be re quired. But inasmuch as they have not checked the elaborate calculations, and are at best only promulgating vague guesses, we must: be pre pared to act on the best evidence attiiixsble con sistently with speedy action. Now that the matter has been virtually decided, we can only say, " If' twere done well, 'twere well it were done quickly." A plague on these uncu' guile politticians Surely we have had enough of that sort of thing in temperance leagues and Maine liquor laws, and lecturers and letter writers on the gre,t,t social evil, and Sabbatarian societies, and all the rest of it ; why should they try and improve one's political morality by force ? Mr. WALroLE we know to be a very virtuous man—he would not, himself, bribe for the world; would not threaten a tenant, or call in a mortgage to gain a single vote, or a thousand votes ; but he is Home Secretary, and therefore he must, ex officio, try his best at taking cure of our home morals. It seems, too, that one most inveterate original sin of citizens born in political freedom, is that of giving and taking bribes of all conceivable kinds at elections. You may almost test the identity of the species " free citizen" by the attendant charges of electoral corruptions. At Athens or at Rome ; in America or in Belgium ; in the shape of money, or of places, or of jobs, or of " bread and games," or of plenty of " beer and bacm," or c f priestly threats, or landlord.' threats, of bribery through fear, or of courtesies varying from a shake of the hands or a smiling bow, to the kiss of a pretty duchess—in all the ways wherewith theltte Mr. COPPOCK could easily have filled a c)lurnn— bribery has been the uniform sin of fre3 and in dependent constituenciac . , and of those who have wanted to represent them. Mr. WALPOLE is, therefore, engaged in a toler ably hopeless battle. He is seeking to compel the elector to renounce the briber and all his works ; and that too without baptising him in the secrecy which alone can enable both to resist temptation, or which rather would take away the temptation itself. He finds that like all our naughtier pro , pensities, dam up bribery at one outlet, and it will soon make itself another. Just as in Maine itself, law forbids the man to retail liquors publicly, but the wickedly " thirsty soul" finds the shopkeeper selling something else, selling, it may be, the very " cup which cheers but not inebriates " so, he asks for a little tea, but also " asks for the baby," and is shown, of course, into a back room, babies not being exhibited in grocers' shops, and can stay there, if he likes, till the baby itself could walk out bettor than he. Mr. WALPOLE has a law, which he too thinks ought to put down bribery. It expires this year, and he proposes to re-enact it ; but it is found to want some patch ing. What is a Candidate, and how ought Auditors to be remunerated, were questions which needed to be settled, but, above all, the great question to be decided was, ought the travelling expenses of electors to be paid ? And, if they are, how are you to pay them and not leave open a door to bribery ? On this last great question Mr. WALPOLE, and the House too, were, we believe, far more puzzled than on the India Bill. That was a great, grand, imperial measure ; one of which most of them knew little practically, and the working of which would hardly affect a single seat in the house. But "Payment of travelling ex penses"—who did not fully understand that ? Almost every member had paid long bills for cab hire in boroughs, and for railway tickets and re freshments, and --- no one knows what be side under these names, in the counties. They all knew how the thing worked too. Some recol lected how the out-voters sent for had just about given them the majority ; others that a very nice douseur proved very acceptable to a poor fellow in London, who rode "Parliamentary" and re ceived first class fare, and lived well for a day or two at free quarters. We believe honourable members were not wanting who recollected the efficiency of buying up at the right nick of time all the public conveyances for the day of election. We certainly have heard of such things. There was, therefore, a pretty little scuffle over the clause proposed by Mr. WALPOLE, that it should be " lawful for any person to pay the actual travelling expenses bona fide incurred in bringing any voter to the poll." Hereon, then, arose the commotion. As the law stands, since the recent decision of the Lords in the case of COOPER v. SLADE, it may not be bri bery if you pay a voter's expenses, without asking the promise of his vote ; but if you ask if, you present a corrupt inducement. Now, as all the members, and the Home Szcretary and Lord J. RUSSELL especially, have a great horror of bribery, yet want to keep elections expensive enough to deter a poor man from becoming a candidate, the object was to enable the candidate to pay the voter's travelling expenses, yet to prevent the possible incidental bribery. If money passed, the opportunity for bribery was seen to be so very plain ; yet, how dispense with money ? Then, if the journey wore more than a very few hours, even our virtuous mortality cannot dispense with refresh , rnents ; and our frail mortality is liable to need them in unusual quantities at election times, or to accept payment of them i❑ a round sum, instead of noticing the trifling difference between the odd pounds and shillings, and a five or a ten-pound note. At last Mr. AYRTON hit upon the plan which found favour with the Home Secretary, and with a majority of seventy-five on Friday night —it is to be lawful for the candidate to provide conveyance for the voter, but not for any money to pass between the two parties. Thus has the " wisdom of Parliament" provided for the payment of travelling expenses, and also for the virtue of candid ate and voter. A convey ance may now be legally hired and voters carried in if, or railway passes furnished ; at least so we read the clause, but silver and gold, and beer and beef are henceforth corruption. Well, we wish the IoK-pockets j )3r of their scheme. They have abolished one property qualification, hut this will go pretty well towards retaining another, for the counties certainly. Look to it, Reform Club ; the Carlton, by Mr. Avreroaes kind help, have made a nice little arrangement for the coining election ; if you do not ga the thousands ready too, be as sured your new Whig members will go to the wall at the next election, and sad indeed would the loss be to exchange a Whig for a Liberal Conserva tive. The wrong clique would pocket, for years it might be, the salaries of office. We hop, now, we shall have no more laughing at the Ballot as a mechanical device to make men virtuous. If a railway pass, instead of money, be not a mechanical device, we should like to know what is MADAME RISTORI. Th 7 s accomplished act — refsto - A her benefit last night at C ,vent-garden with the most undoubted success. She appeared in the character of Queen Elizabeth, a part which gives her au opportunity for displaying the wonderful versatility of her powers. Her delineation of the vavying passions that sway the haughty sovereign by turns, her rmijestie carriage, her impetuous temper, her s,udden elevation to heroism, while defying the threats of the Spanish ambassador, were all finely represented. She was equally great in the more conflicting emotions, where her love for Essex and her haughty spirit are at variance. The scene in which the exasperated Essex defies the Queen before the assembled Court, and in which she appears almost overwhelmed with her terrible anger, was rendered very effectively. The struggle in the mind of El 7.abeth before signing the fatal warran', and her despair when she learns that her reprieve is to elate, gave Madame Ristori full scope for the development of her fine tragic powers, as did the last act, showing the proud monarch bending be fore a mightier despot than herself, but keeping her lofty spirit in face of death himself. The la , it agonies as is unfortunately the case with all our great aetors, were painfully elaborated and lengthened. Wo would suggest to the ved taste of Madame Ristori, that such encouragement of a morbid taste is scar,;ely worthy of her artistic abilities. The house was fully attended, and the audience testi tied their admiration by bouquets and plaudits, and by the entitufiast:c demand for her appearance after every act. The acting of Signor Mejeroni, as the unfortunate earl, deserves eulogistic notice. We are °lad to see that Madame Ristori has I.ken induced by the great success of this perform anacrdeeton on reappear in xinuteliv the latt i e character beforeracterat Covent- Garden t- G parturJ from England.

FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. The Monitear da Calvados gives the following as the programme of the passage of the Emperor and Empress through that department, on their way to Cherbourg : " Their Majesties will arrive at Evreux (Eure) on Tuesday, the 3d Aug., towards the middle of the day, and will be received at the railway station by the prefect and the general of the department and the Mayor of Evreux. Their Majesties will proceed in a carriage to the Hotel of the Prefecture, and on reaching the cathedral will find the bishop and clergy in waiting to pay their respects. At the Prefecture the Emperor will receive the civil and military authorities, and the Empress the ladies of the place. The Emperor and Empress will then proceed to Lisieux (Calvados), and at the railway station they will be received by the prefect of the department and the local authorities of the town. Their Majesties will then proceed to Caen, where they will arrive at five o'clock, and where they will be received by the mayor and all the local authorities. The mayor will pre sent the keys of the town to the Emperor. The Emperor and Empress will proceed through lines formed by the troops of the Prefecture, where the mayors of the department will be assembled. The Empress will hold a reception of ladies, and a magnificent bouquet will Le presented to her Ma jesty. At seven the Emperor and Empress will give a grand dinner, and at nine will proceed to a ball at the Hotel de Ville. In the morning of the 4th the breeders of horses of the department will present to the Emperor specimens of Norman brood mares and horses, and his Majesty will visit the cavalry depot, in which there are 300 horses. After takii.g a drive in the town the Emperor and Em press will leave at midday, and proceed to Bayeux. There, after b,ing received by the local authorities at the railway station, tha Emperor and Empress will visit the cathedral. A piece of lace, of con siderable value, is to be pre , :-ented to the Empress in the name of the town. Shortly before two their Majesties will leave Bayeux, and will reach Cher Bourg at a qu,rter past four." A Brest journal says that the Emperor and Em press will not go frcm that pl ice to Chateaulin by sel, as mirlinally intended, but by the Imperial road to Quimper. Two officers of the Imperial household had been at Brest to make preparations for the recep ion of their Majesties.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 10. On Thursday list Sir Henry Bulwer paid his official visit at the Porte, having the day before called privately only, accompanied by Mr. Pisani, the first dragoman, on the Grand Vizier and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. For his official visit the Ambassador went down in her Majesty's steamer Swallow, which is on the station here. He landed at the Serdglio Point, wh?re clrriages were in waiting for the party, which took them up through the gardens of the Old Seraglio to the Sublime Porte. Here guards and servants bad turned out to receive them, and the official presen tation took place, first to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and then to the Grand Vizier. The pipe being smoked and the coffee drunk, the Ambassador mounted on horseback, and followed by hi• suite in carriages, went to call on the S,raskier. In the courtyard of the Sraskierate the guard was under arms, with a band of music in attendance, to re ceive him. After the Seraskier's, came the turn of the Kapudan Pasha ; and after another hot ride through the strcet3 of Stamboul the Ambassador got into his caique, which was in waiting at the old bridge, and went to the Arsenal, the official resi dence of the Kapud. Paha. When he approached, the men-of-war lying in the harbour gave the usual salute of 19 guns, and the guard all the military honour , . With this hst visit the day's proceed ings clo ed.

The Magdeburg Gazette contains the following analysis of the reply of the Danish Government to the Germanic Diet : " The Danish Cabinet observes that the manner in which the affair of Holstein and Lauenburg has been understood and treated at Frankfort is essen tially defective. That the Diet, having founded its decisions on the proclamation of the 28th Jan., 1852, and on the exchange of despatches which preceded it, forgot that the negotiations between Denmark and the two great German powers, as well as the document of the 28th Jan., 1852, ought to be considered as the result of the war, or of the negotiations fir peace between the Germanic Con federation and the King of Denmark, and that con sequently those acts ought to be treated according to the law of nations, and not according to the federal law. That the war of 1848 was not a simple federal event, but that it was made at the same time against a European Prince—the King of Den mark—the federal army having fought the Danish one, not only in Holstein, hut in Schleswick. The Diet,' rays the Danish reply, 'has an un doubted right to make war and conclude peace ; but it is not admissable that a treaty of peace should be treated like a simple federal document, and interpreted like a federal law. If the Diet, therefore, founds its decisions on the act of the 28th Jan., 1852, the differences must be settled according to the law of nations, and not according to the federal legislation. The Diet itself declared in its protocol that . V e proclamation of the 28th Jan., 1852, was published in execution of Art. 3 of the treaty of Paris of July 2, 1850. Those, therefore, were the proceedings of the law of na tions, and not exclusively of the federal law. The Danish Cabinet, therefore, thinks that it may dis pute the right of the Diet to carry into execution its decisions of the 11th Feb., and may invoke, in case of danger, the assistance of the European Powers." GERMANY. The Criminal Court of Butzow, in Mechlenburg Schwerin, has just concluded the trial of fift_ en in habitants of Rostock for having been concerned in a conspiracy for overthrowing the Governments of Germany, and especially that of Mecklenburg, in order to establish a republic, and for having raised funds for purchasing arms vile' ammunition, and transmitted them to a secret society at B:Erlin. The c mspiracy was concocted so far back as 1851, an d was discovered at the beginning of 1853, s i nc3 which the prosecution has been p:nding !

A letter from llagusi of the 4th gives thsfollow ing account of the meeting between the consuls and the Christian insurgents at Herzegovina : " The meeting took place in the plain before Kloluck, a fortress built on the top of a high rock, and garrisoned by 1,000 bachi-bouzouks.

THE DOG DAYS.—As many ptrsoas are desirous of knowing how far the law may be efficacious in putting a stop to the appearance of stray dogs in the street, it may be well to mention that the Metropolitan Police Act, 2d and 3d of Victoria, c. 47, s. 54, enacts, that any one, who shall "turn loose, or suffer to be at large, an unmuzz'ed ferocious dog," shall be liable to a penalty of 405., and section 61 of the same act gives power to the police to destroy any dog reasonably suspected of being in a rebid state. Tricse two sections appear to accom plish all that the most ardent canicide could require. LAST MOII2:NTS OF THE LATE CAPT. SIR W. PEEL.— We have seen a letter, says the Bristol Times, from a mid shipman of the Shannon, who was with the Naval Bri gade, and which is written to his friends in Hampshire, which gives, in the boy's language, a Lirnple and touching account of the last moments of the gallant officer :—" Of course you have heard of poor Capt. Peel's death; he died at Cawnpore, at the house of Mr. Moore, the clergyman there, who seems to have been very kind to him during his illnes The doctor wbb attended him would not say how ill he was, although be begged that he might be told at once if ha was in ab ,, olute danger. Several times when Mr. Moore went into his room he found him on his knees, and when prayers were"offer d op in church for his recovery, the day before his death, he was very much pleased. Throughout his illaess he constantly spoke of his mother and Lundy, the village joining his e ;tate in England., saying how glad they would be to see him again, and he begged that it might not be generally known how ill he was, for fear his mother should hear it."

THE BODY EXPOSED NEAR SHEERNESS. —Yesterday the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Min ster appeared before the county magistrates at Sitting bourne to answer on an information laid against them under the Act of George 111 , cap. 75, sec. 7, far not burying the body of a roan found drowned within the parish of Minster. Mr. James Lewie, town-clerk of Rochester, conducted the prosecution, the information being laid by Mr. W. B Igecembe, coroner's constable, by order of the Mayor of Rochester. Mr. Joseph H. Burley, one of the overseers, conducted his own case, and Mr. MtCerthy Stephenson, solicitor, attended to conduct the case for one of the other overseers, Tee magistrates heard only two wi:nesses for the preeectition, Mr. Edgecombo and the pier con stable, Mr. Carpel, when they retired, and, after a short coneultatin, on returning into court, the Rev. J. Poole, chairman, said, as he was quite satisfied the ma ter would drop there, they said that the notice required by the Act of Periatneet bad not been proved to their sati,facdon, and they therefore di-mis,,e , l tee case. Upon an apph. c ation of the plaintiff , Mr. William Edgc enbe' the ma gistrate; granted a case to be taken under the Acts cf the 20 h and 21st of Victoria, cap. 43, whereby the opi nion of the Court of Qneeri'e Bench should be taken to set the matter at rest.

Ju y 17,1853, LAW INTELLIGENCE,—(his Day ) - - - HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 20, (Peers present—The Lard Chancellor, Lord Cranwortb, Lord Wensleydale, and others.) APPEAL-SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE, BART., V. BROWSE. The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was ap pointed at half-past 10 o'clock this morning. Mr. Braithwaite (Ireland) was heard for the appellant. Mr. Moreley (Ireland) was in attendance for the ap pellant. Sir Richard Bethel, Q.C., addressed the Court for the respondents. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) IN RE GEORGE CARTER, DECEASED-IMPORTANT POINT. Dr. Waurbey applied for the issue of letters of adminis tration to the deceased's sister. The deceased was born in 1807, and resided with his parents till 1825, when he went to sea, and had never been since heard of. The sum involved was the deceased's share in 2,1001. 3 per Centa. Sii C. Cresswell said a difficulty arose in this case. By the papers before him the father did not die till 1836, and the presumption was that the deceased died before his father. Dr. Waurbey submitted there was no limited period laid down in the Prerogative Court. Sir C. Cresewell said the presumption in law was that if a person was not heard of within seven years, he was dead, but it fixed no specific time within that period, and he had acted on that assumption ever since he had sat in that court, and he would continue to do so. Dr. Waurbey suggested that his lordship should grant administration under the discretionary clause. Sir C. Cresswell said he could not do that, because he might, by so doing, be granting it to the wrong party. The father left a will and executors, giving the property to his children, and in the event of George, the de ceased, not being heard of within four years, his share should be divided amongst the others. Dr. Waurbey said that if his lordship presumed the father survived the son, he could not ask him to grant letters of administration. Slr C. Cresswell said he was bound to presume that the deceased was dead at the end of seven years, and that his father survived him. Application refused. IN RE GAISWORTIIY, DECEASED. Dr. Waurbey said the deceased was a mariner, and resided in Radcliffe-street, Bristol. In August, 1857, he sailed from London, bound to St. Kitt,'s. He arrived there at the end of 34 days, and sailed for England in November following. Neither he nor the crow or the ship had since been heard of ; and it ap peared that during this period heavy gales at sea had occurred in the direct track of the ship, and it was believed the ship must have foundere. 7 , and the deceased, witb his crew, perished in consequence. The underwriters had paid the insurance on the ship, and the wife now prayed that probate be granted to her as sole executrix and legatee of her husband. Application granted. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Creswell, Judge Ordinary.) DAVIS V. DAVIS-ALIMONY. Dr. Tristram, who appeared for the wife, who had instituted p• oceedings for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty and adultery by the husband, applied for alimony pendent?, lat.?. The respondent was a farmer in Wales, and, according to his statement, he was possessed of a freehold worth 1001. a year, a p)rtion of which he let for 301. a year. Ho was also in receipt of 641., exclusive of income tax, from certain property belonging to his wife. His stock and furniture he valued at 3871. He also stated himself to be indebted in 6001., for which he paid 271. per annum interest. There were eight children by the marriage—the oldest of whom, daughter, was married ; the others, who were under age, resided with the mother, the youngest of them being about six years of age. • Dr. Deane, who appeared for the husband, said the question of the custody of the children would have to clme before the Court on a future day. The sworn ir. come of the Lutband was 1641., less 271. interest, and he was possessed of 3871., stock and furniture. The jadge said the wife was not bound to keep the children, and under the circumstances he decraed ali mony to the amount of 35/. a-year during the progress of the suit, the amount to be paid monthly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (More Mr. C3uarniBsioner Goa'burn.) IN RE MORRIS BROWN AND CO.-PRTITIDN TO ANNUL- IMPORTANT QUESTION. To-day 'was appointed for hearing a petition to super sede the bankruptcy of MeearF. Illorrie Brown and Co., who were extensive Government contractorg, &c., at Roche ter and Chatham. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Pool: were for the bankluptr, Mr. I-Ml.oyd for the opposing creditor, a gentleman named Crampton, and one of the assignees, but who bad not proved his debt. The case, although not entirely novel in some respect, is of importince with regard to others, affecting the in. terests of creditors dissenting to a cluipronyise. peared that an arrangement had been proposed and agreed to by every creditor but Mr. Crampton, a creel . - tor to a large amount, but who had not Proved his debt, and he on some ground oppcsei the present petition. His Honour read a le;.t , o' from Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, who was thecommissijner to whom the CASe had been ballotted, expressing his opinion that the present motion ought not to be heard until a question between Mr. Cratnpton and the bankrupts had been decided. His Honour said that he so fully coincided in the view of the case which the learned C)mtnissioner llolroyd hud taken that he would suggest to counsel not to proceed. Mr. Roxburgh oli-acted to any postponement—the CAEO came heflre the Court in the usual way, and he felt assured that it would not be at all influenced by information not strictly bdore the Court, for however deferentially he might yield to the decision or opinion of one learned commissioner under one state of circumstances, he insisted on the right of the bankrupts to be heard en their petition, as all the creditors had been satisfied except the opposing creditor, whose debt had been tendered to him. The learned counsel all►ided to several cases in which supersedeas had been granted adverse to the opposition of yin individual creditor. His Honour wished to know whether any case could be quoted where a supenedea3 could be claimed ag a right. Lord Eldon bad held that it was a matter in the discretion of the Court. Mr. Roxburgh said that thin case differed very much —waiving for the instant, however, the right here was a case of discretion—evEry creditor who had proved agreed ; but one who had not, but could be paid in full, refused, and why should he be allowed to ietervene between the bankrupts and their creditors, and ruin all their future prospects. In such a case as this it would be hard, in deed, to lay down the diction that a party who, although he might be a creditor by his own ladles, had not proved his debt, should be naw allowel to appear as a party in the cause in Court. His Honour said that al affilavit had been filed, which explained facts, and showed prima facie that there had been no Inches. He would rcad it. Mr. Roxburgh protested, and said that he would I), only wasting the lima of the Court and his own by fur ther argument, and must be cinsidered to have retired, His Honour said he should wish to have the affidavit read, and handed it to Mr. ILlroyd, who read it pro forma, as no one virtually appeared to support the peti tion. It was stated that an app3a.l %mid be entered forth with. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day., MARLBOROUGH STREET. AIDING A CHARGED PERSON TO ESCAPE,—COMMITTAL FOR TRlAL,—William wbo refused his address, was charged .hy Charles Cole, 317 A, a dtteet;vo officer, as follows : Cole laid that at half-past one that morning he was in Oxford-street, near Hare wood-gate, when he heard a cry of " Police." He went to the spot, when be saw a gen tleman holding a female, who he said had attempted to steal his watch. He seiz 3d the female's hands, ar.d in one of them she had the watch, %Oi:eh was not detached from the chain. Tile gentleman then put the watch in his pocket, and he having left go of the female's hand silo immediately commenced striking him as hard as she could in the face and on the body, at the same time kicking and hallooing. He caught hold of her with the intention of taking her to the station-house, when the prisoner cams up and said, " Do you want to choke the woman I" He told the prisoner he did not, but he wanted to take her to tl.e ststi:ln-house. Toe pri soner then said, "How do I know who von arc—where's your staff I" He told him he bail no staff, bat showed him his warrant-card, and was al) , ut taking her along when the prisoner followed him and ttipped him up, saying, " Let her to, yeti --," The female then male her e3cape, and while he (Cole) was on the ground the prisoner kicked him violeritly on the body, aLd he was all over b:uit es. Wm. Gower, a gentleman's coac'sinan, said he went to the offi cer ' s ass i stance, and he ld t i .e woman whileher7as shoring hi s car d, an d w h en th e o ffi cer was taking the woman he saw the prisoner trip him up and kick him while on the ground. Mr. Beadoii said, for such an assault, under such cir cumstance?, he should commit him for trial. The prisoner was then committed for trial. THAMES. • A REGULAR AND AN IRREGULAR SHOEBLAOIC..--• Patrick Donovan, a dirty rough-looking Irish boy, who is connected with a very wicked family, and whose parents have been frequently punished for assault, drunkenness, and disorderly condu c t, was b roug ht be fore Mr. ; Yardley, charged with stealing 7 fo re i gn co i n s, - the prope r ty of Robert Goby. The prosecutor, a clean well-behaved lal with his hair combed with neat precision, formed a striking con trast to the dirty blackguard alongside of him. Goby is a member of the Rigged Sc eel Shoeblack Brigade, and was dressed in the uniform of the class to which he belongs, with a badge on his arm. He said he had a stand assigned to him in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square. The prisoner was:also a shoeblack, but he did not belong to the brigade, and often abused visitors, and attempted to rob him. Yesterday afternoon he lett his box only for • a minute, and upon his return he saw the prisoner in a stooping position over his box where he kept his black ing and brushes. He asked the prisoner what he was doing there, to which he made no reply, but ran away. Witness directly missed seven foreign copper coins from his box, and ran after him, and he soon overtook him. He asked him to restore the coins, which he refused to do, and swore at him, and said he would have all the • money in the box. He called a police.constable, who made the prisoarr restore the coins, and sent the prisoner about his business. Soon afterwards the prisoner and five or six others came to his box and commenced beating him. The policeman came again and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he took the coins for a lark, and a policeman, after he bad restored them to Goby, kicked him, and would not let him blacken any more shoes. , Policeman, No. 173 H, sa id , h e did not ki ck the pri• " saner, but he made him turn out the foreign coins from " his pocket and told him to go about his business. About - three minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner and others `i beating Goby, and he then took the prisoner into cup ) 1 tody. The prisoner was a regular pest to the neighbour hood, and his father was a most incorrigible drunkard. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was an old thief, who had passed through his hands more . than once. Mr. Yardley said it was most scandalous to be play- t big tricks with and robbing a lad who obtained a living by honest industry. He convicted the prisoner, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for three days and to be well whipped. SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY NEAR BRIGHTON. Between two and three o'clock on Saturday morning a most desperate fight took place with two poachers and three watchers on Colonel Paine's grounds at Patcham, three miles northward of Brighton, at which place the poachers resided. They are two most desperate characters, named Poplett and Winton, the former of whom was mixed up in a garotte case some time since. On Friday night, the local constable of Patcham, named Graiines, had his suspicions aroused, and he ' obtained the assistance of two men, named Clark and Brown (emp'oyed by Colonel Paine and Mr. Tanner as watchers), and all thre e p rocee d e d to come unenclosed land belonging to Colonel Paine, where they found several rabbits wired and a larga quantity of snares set. They lay by them till the above-mentioned time, when Poplett and Winton ' came along, and proceeded to take the rabbits out of the wires ; Clark then walked up to them, and without a word being passed he was struck a heavy blew over the head with a bludgeon by Pop lett, who called upon Winton, at the same time re peating the blow, to "Come and knock his brains out. Graimes and Brown immediately ran to the . assistance of Clark, and a most desperate encounter took place, and even after Winton was secured by Brown, Poplett had a feat fill fight with the other two, and it was not before he was neatly killed that he was secured and handcuffed, and placed under the care of the East Sussex constabulary. All parties were severely injured, and Mr. Dixon, sur geon, who attended, said he was an hour and a half in dres-ing Poplett's wounds, he having received seven severe cuts on the held, besides contused wounds on the body. His captors were also severely I punished. The case was taken before the couuty :magistrates at Hove in the afternoon. The chair man of the bench (Mr. C. Carpenter) said they were bound to convict, but they thought great vio lence had been used, perhaps mo r e th an was nec es- • sary, seeing that the watchers were the stronger of the two parties. He then sentenced the two pri soners to one month's imprisonment each, and .; ordered them to find sureties to keep the peace for six months from the expiration of that time, them selves in 101., and sureties each in 51. At the con elusion of the case, Mr. Carpenter said he thought it was a sad pity that in the neighbourhood of large and populous towns like Brighton unenclosed lands should be preserved.
