ENGI.ISH LIFE IN CHINA. The following interesting letter, received from a lady at Hong-Kong, has been forwarded to us far publication : " Hong-Kong, June 21, 1858. " my husband is incapacitated himself from writing this mail, I shail send you a few lines instead. I have to thank God most fervently that his life has been spared, for never man had a more narrow escape. You must have observed from the public reports in what a very unsatisfactory state our relations with the Chinese in the south are at present. The universal opinion is that matters have been most sadly mismanaged, and that thainsg_st are worse here now than ever they were. Bethat t ecom i e may, the Chinese at this present time are certainly snore offensively troublesome, and we hear almoin broaddail tepees of attacks and attempts at murder, eyeonng tittylight, and sometimes in the very streets of Kong- Vy poor husband was one of those unhappy days sil.ce. But I will tell you all about it. victimsf i e s t t i living about one mile and three quarters off, whom he often goes to see before breakfast, and takes a s h o rt cut across the hill to his residence, b ut he always .goes armed w revolver, and prepared for emergenctes knowing Juwe ell 15)the t e mper of the Chinese j ust now. knows g he set off for his morning walk, and I was sorry to see it begin pouring with rain soon after he started. Towards nine o'clock I was made aware of his return by our little dog (who had accompanied him) rushing up stairs, and soon after he himself walked in, but such an object that I never can forget—the blood streaming down both sides of his white face, and the colour of his hair quite hidden in a mass of blood and dirt, though be had taken the precaution of going In the bath-room first, and changing his clothes and wash ing himself, so as to frighten me as little as possible. More toter he was bent double with pain, and could scarcely move feottt some extensive injury in his side. I sent for a medical Men at once, who came very quickly and examined him ; but the side was such a complete smash and so swollen that te could not then tell if any ribs were broken. It seems hat three Chinamen suddenly set upon him, though he was in a measure prepared for them too, and even bad his hand on his pistol at the time he met them ; but he says their agility of movement quite astonished him, and with a most instantaneous spring the first man was pinioning both his hands by the wrists. But with a strong wrench he threw him off, and started back a pace or two to fire. His pistol was almost close to the wretch's breast when be pulled the trigger, and the cap missed fire . With a yell of triumph they all rushed towards him when he sprang down the side of the mountain path to gain time to recock his revolver, and in turning round to fire his revolver a second time his foot slipped, and he rolled over and over down the side of the treble into a water-course, all among the bed of rocks , a nd bras completely stunne d and wedged in there. One of the gang fell too, and, to make matters worse, came down with his whole weight on his chest. The two other men followed very quickly, and of course he was at their mercy then. The wretches first began pounding his head with stones, and broke it in several places. Then they put mud in his eyes to prevent his seeing their faces, and so recognising them afterwards, and one—the man at whose breast he had fired—hit him a violent blow with his fist just between his eyes ; but, strange to say, he ilid not lose his consciousness for more than a few seconds, and kept his senses cleor to the last. Two men held down his hands, and one knelt on hischest and rifled his person. Of course they took everything—pistol, wet cb,ring, even his handkerchief,and I only wonder they left him any clothes, or left him alive to tell the tale, but I sup pose they were satisfied with their booty, and so made off before they were surprised. One circumstance seems to me most providential; the Chinaman who fell down the bill, when he got up had a huge knife handle in his band, but no blade—that must have been broken off in the tumble, and he spent some time in looking for it among the grass. Had that weapon been whole and sound, he might have cut eff my poor husband's head with it, taken it to Canton, and obtained the bead-money. Oh, we have very mach to be thankful for, in spite of his sufferings. How he ma naged to get home is a perfect miracle. The doctor said ' be must have had a deal of pluck to do it ;' but his strength held out no longer, and he was helpless directly. His side was first fomented, and then leeched the next day to reduce the swelling. About the fourth day, broken bones were discovered, and those be has not been able to have bandaged yet on account of the tenderness and swelling, but I hope to-day the doctor will pronounce it in a fit state to be done, for the support will be such a relief to him. He is pro gressing most satisfactorily towards recovery ; his wounds are healing nicely, and there has been no fever. The worst now is that no trace can be found of the ruffians, notwith stasding the exertions of the police; but Chinese are too cunning for Englishmen. Our precautions and laws seem to have no power to reach them, and until we fight them with their own weapons, and oppose stratagem to stratagem, they will always keep the upper hand. Since this attack on my husband he has made up his mind to have a good big dog at once from England, to be his walking companion. Fire arms are not to be depended upon in this damp climate, and if he had only a faithful dog with him on this occasion, I fancy it would have created a diversion in his favour ; so will Mr. be so good as to be on the look-out for a thorough-bred Newfoundland pup, and by next mail I hope Mr. will be able to write to him himself about ship ping and forwarding it. My mind seems so fell of this one subject that I can scarcely think of anything else, but I can not finish my letter without saying how sincerely I hope you are all well. What nice weather and delicious spring produce you must be having at home now, while we are grilling out here. We are able to get ice in Hong-Kong now, which is a great comfort to us ; you can fancy how acceptable it has been to the poor invalid. " P.S.—Only imagine, on our own territory, not in Chinese jurisdiction, we are defied to the utmost, and no one can walk in the streets without being well armed. Whenever the doctor or any visitor comes their daggers, bowie-knives, or revolvers are laid on the drawing-room table as regularly as possible, and pat about their persons again when they take their departure."—Evening Herald.

The half-earl meetin of this company was held at . pswich on y Frida y J . y—Mr. Cheyallier Cobbold, M.P., in the chair. The CIIAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, which has been already published, said he regretted that the company was not quite so forward with regard to the matters on which they had unfortunately differences with the Eastern Counties board. as lie hoped they would have b'en when he last met the shareholders. There or had r law advisers; but the delays of the law were proverbial, and the Eastern Counties Corapany had put every possible obstacle in the way. The matters in dispute were of very grave importance, as they involved from £60,000 to £70,000 per annum, of which the Eastern Union Company was entitled to one seventh, after deducting 46 per cent. for working expenses, or about ,f 4,509. The Norfolk Com pany took the same view of c sitpe.question, ted. and we re re reg ad ard y to co-operate with the m, being milarly affe With to the Harwich traffic, the chairman of the Eastern .

The CHAIRMAN next moved that the directors be autho rised to convert the euaranteed shares into stock, to be di vided amongst the shareholders according to their respective interest therein, and to be entitled to the same advantages as before conversion. Sir S. BIGNOLD seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Replying to questions from several shareholders, Mr. I3RUFF, the ennit . teer, stated that the Wo 9 nribridgs extension could not possibly be opened within two or three months without extra expenses being incurred to hasten the works, which had been delayed through a scarcity of labour in the district. There had beer on or two land slips, but they were in course of being overcome.

The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected; and on the motion of Mr. Pori., of Manchester, seconded by Mr. WALKER, a vote of thanks vats passed to the chairman for his attention and courtesy.

All goods were to be paid for before they were cleared. I received the cheque produced, a Unity Bank cheque, drawn for the sum of 119 Os. 6d.; and, in consequence of a communication, I went to several John streets, Hackney, but could not find any person of the name of Lawrence carrying on business there. In August last I obtained a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Wakeling—l have only one name of Lowrance on the books as a purchaser at that day's sale. I have not a customer of the name of M'Alpass. I prose cuted a man who went by that alias, and he had 12 months' imprisonment. I wish I had never seen the prisoner or any of his gang, for they have been more than 1100 out of my pocket - . Alfred Thomas Woods said—l am a clerk in the service of the prosecutor. On the 30th of July I received the cheque produced from a m.n of the name of Neale, who came to clear the goods the prisoner had purchased in the name of Laurance the previous day. The cheque was pre sented, and returned marked " no account." Cross-examined—There is no other name of Lawrance on the books but the prisoner's for that day's sale. Joseph Neale, residing in Guildford-place, Clerkenwell, said—l knew the prisoner by the name of May about three months before. I paid the cheque to the last witness on the 30th of July last year. On the evening of the 29th of July I saw the prisoner at his mother's in Theobald's-row, when the prisoner said if I had nothing particular to do he would employ me to fetch some corn and woo, and that I was to meet him in Old .street n ext day. I did so, and the prisoner took me to Whitecross-street and showed me the place where the sale had been held the previous day. He then toles me to go in and ask for the account in the name of Lawrance. I did so, and got the account, which amounted to £l9 Os. 6d., and then went and saw him in a public-house in Whitecross-street. It was about half an hour afterwards that the prisoner gave me the cheque; but I could not read it, as lam no scholar. I know the cheque produced is the one, because it has a piece cut out of it, which the prisoner did before he gave it to me. I got the goods, took them to a yard in Old-street, and left them there as I was told by the prisoner. The next day I took two sacks to Mr. Ro bins:n in Whitecross-street, and also some to a baker's in Tottenham-court-road, also under his direction. The pri soner paid me for what I did. Cross-examined by Mr. Wakeling—l am a cabinetmaker, and also a general dealer. I do any odd jobs for which I am paid, and do not ask many questions. No one but the prisoner paid me fur what I did. I only know the cheque by the piece being cut out. lam certain that no one but the prisoner paid me for removing the goods, and he was the only person who gave me the instructions. Mr. William Haynes said—l am a cashier at the Unity Bank, Cannon-street, City. I have been there since the bank was opened in July, 1857. No person of the name of W. Lawrence had an account with the hank. The cheque produced was, I believe, Issued to a person of the name of Joseph May, who had an accaunt with us. The piece being cut out renders it difficult to say to whom it was issued. (After being pressed the witness said it was issued to May.) The only reason fur cutting the figures out would be to render it difficult to trace to whom the cheque was issued. There can be no doubt that figures have been there. In July, 1857, there was no balance standing to the credit of Joseph May, and his account was closed. I cannot say that the forged cheque is in the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined —There is no balance standing to the credit of May at the present time. I am certain that the cheque produced was one that was issued to May. We have an account in the name of Lawrence, but not W. Law rance." There can be no clout that figures have been where the piece is cut out. Police-constable Cook, 198 5, said the prisoner, in July, 1957, lived at Church-street, St. Pancras, and went by the name of Josepk May. Police-constable Harrison, 243 N, said he apprehended the prisoner on a warrant on the morning of Friday week as be was leaving the House of Correction. He told the prisoner be took him on a charge of forgery and uttering; but he made no answer. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after cautioning the prisoner, asked his what he bad to say in answer to the charge? The prisoner, ac ting under the instructions of Mr. Wake ling, said he should reserve his defence. Mr. Wakeling said the prisoner was in very bad health, and he hoped that his worship would take bail for his ap pearance at the sessions. He was prepared with responsible sureties. Mr. Tyrwhitt, in fully committing the prisoner to the Central Criminal Court for trial, said he could not accede to the application for bail. If the prisoner was unwell, Mr. Wakeling could apply to a judge in chambers. Mr. Wakeling said be bad no doubt that course would be adopted. SITTINOBOURNE AND SHEERNESS.

The following are the novel points :—" A grant of public money, amounting to £1,500, was appro priated to the painting of 28 whole length portraits of personages connected with the Tudor faintly, to be in the apartment called the Prince's chamber, as portraits, in the appendix to our seve nth report. Of such Burchett,pos, executed by, or under the directi on of, Mr. Richard fifteen have now been completed. In our ninth reportroom we bad proposed that twelve compartments in the same should be filled with metal casts from models of has reliefs, to be provided by a competent scalptor. Ten of s uch uch models, cast in metal by Messrs. Elkington, Mason, Company, of Birmingham, have been fixed in their places T in the Prince's chamber. Ref e r rin g to the same '2eality, we stated in our last repor t that John Gibson, R.

With reference to the principal corridors c onnectin g the Central Hall with th e two Ilouses of Parliament, we have recommended that the method of fresco should be employed instead of oil painting. In the Peers' corridor two subjects have been accordingly executed in fresco by Mr. Cope, and in the Commons' corridor two subjects have been executed in the same method by Mr. Ward. It lis proposed that the remaining compartments shall be also painted in fresco by the same artists.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 1858. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, AUG.2B. ANGUS V. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Overeat), Q.C., and Mr. Cln appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. blilw ain ard, and Mr. West for the defendants. This was an action brought to recover damages for inju ries sustained by the plaintiff iu consequence of the negli gence of the company or their servants. Mr. Overend, in opening t'te case, said that the plaintiff, Mr. Angus, was a fruiterer at Sheffield, and on the morning of Thursday, the 24th Sept. last, he took a second-class ticket to travel by the express train which runs between Manchester and London from Sheffield to Peterborough. The train consisted of four carriages, one break-van, and one engine and tender. All went well until they arrived at Retford, when the speed was considerably increased, and by the time the train arrived at Tuxford, a still further in creased speed was perceptible. About 21 miles beyond Tux ford the speed was perfectly frightful, and the oscillation severe. In a few moments some of the carriages were preci pitated over the battlements of the bridge into the highway below, and the other two carriages and the van, which were attached to the engine, proceeded about 200 yards further, when they left the line and rolled down the embankment into a garden. Five persons were killed and several wounded, and among the latter was the plaintiff, who had been very severely injured, and, indeed, had not recovered from the effects of the accident up to this day. The plaintiff had four causes of complaint against the company —lst, that the speed of the train was excessive; 2dly, that for a line of this de scription the rails were of an improper character for the speed at which trains were run over it, the line not being as yet, as it ought to be, fish•jointed; 3dly, that there was no means of communication between the guard and driver, al though the third rule of the company was that the guard should workcornmunicating signals, but not put them in mo tionexcept in case of urgent necessity; and, 4thly, that there was only one break van instead of two, as was usually the case. Mr. J. Angus, the plaintiff, Mr. Dranefield, Mr. Beare, and Mr. Richardson, passengers by the train, all concurred in stating that the speed was moderate up to Tuxford ; that after leaving Tuxford the speed was alarmingly increased, and that at the time of the accident the speed could not have been less than 60 miles an hour. Mr. Caddo, civil engineer, was called, and stated that, bad there been a connection between the guard and driver, the latter could have pulled up his engine in 150 yards or so, and thus no accident would have happened to the first car riages in the train. The report of Col. Wynne, We Government inspector to the Board of Trade, was put in, from which it speared that the accident was not attributed to high speed, but to some flzw in the metals, and the line not being " fished " at the point of the melancholy occurrence in question. Mr. Atherton then addressed the jury for the defendants, and contended that although this unfortunate accident had occurred, yet it was not attributable to any negligence on the part of the company's servants, and that, therefore, the plaintiff was not entitled to recover damages. The engine-driver was then called, and deposed that at the time of the accident he was driving at the rate of 45 miles an hour. The train was not late, and therefore he bad no cause to drive at a greater speed with a view to make up time. He first knew of the accident in consequence of ajerk and, on looking back, saw two carriages and a van going over the line, upon which he reversed his engine, and after running '2OO yards the couplings separated from the tender, and the two remaining carriages went over the embankment into a garden. The guard of the train, who was much injured by the accident, stated that the train was going at the usual express speed of 45 miles an hour. He admitted, on examination, that the cord to communicate with the driver was not run along the carriages to the engine, but it ought to have been, and it was his duty to have seen that the cord was connected with the van and the engine. The foreman platelayer of that portion of the line at which the accident occurred deposed that the train passed the bridge at its usual time and speed. About 200 yards beyond the bridge dust began to fly, and in half a minute the train went off the line. After the accident he examined the permanent way, and everything was correct. Other witnesses—platelayers on the line—corroborated this evidence. Edward Brown, a goods engine -driver, was called, and he stated that he would as soon go over the part of the line in question at 60 as at 30 miles an hour, and he levald not scruple to run an engine in proper order over this line is good repair at 70 miles an hour. The Tuxford station-masterdeposed that at the time when the express passed through that station on the morning in question it was going at the speed it had always travelled at and that it travelled at now. The foreman porter at Retford proved that the train passed through there at its proper time to the minute ; and The station-master of Sheffield (Mr. Ward er ) proved that had he started the train from that place at the prop time. He himself been a guard, and believed one van was sufficient for a short train of four carriages. Mr. James Smith, of Bury, Lancashire, was travelling first-class in this train. Up to the time of the accident there was nothing to excite surprise in the speed. Suddenly as a eunshot the train left the line. There had not been any oscillation previously. He was stunned at the moment when he found himself at the bottom of the etnbankment. He had travelled in the same carriage with the Hon. Mr. Clive, who was killed, and Mr. Rayner. The carriage was smashed to pieces. The ballast was much ploughed up. In cross-examination the witness admitted that he was travelling on this occasion with a pass, and he was smoking from the time that he left Sheffield. In re-examination, he stated the pass was from the Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company. Mr. Rayner deposed that about a minute before the acci dent he felt the carriage oscillate. Mr. Stirrup, locomotive engineer, deposed that all rolling portions of the carriages were in perfect order, with the ex ception of the axles of the break van, which weremuchbent. The superstructures of the carriages were damaged, but it only cost f„,..5 165.'76. cacti carriage for the necessary repair.. He looked over the permanent way, but could not find any cause for the accident. All the express trains on the Great Northern Railway passed over sonic portions of the line at 60 miles an hour. The portion of the line where this acci dent occurred was particularly good—just such a piece as one would choose to run an express over at 69 miles an hour. If the conducting end had been attached to the engine and van it would have been no earthly use whatever in this acci dent. The fact of the carriages ploughing up the line was a most operative break—far better than anything else that could have been done. A guard could not put on the break in less than half a minute, and if a train were running at 55 miles an hour it would run 150 yards in five or six seconds. Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general ;manager of the Great Northern Railway Compaby, said the Scotch and Yorkshire expresses were first run over the line in 1851. The trains on the line are timed torun, including stoppages, at 45 miles an hour, and considering that this train was running over a very favourable portion of the line, doubtless it would be running at 55 miles an hour, and he believed that speed was safe. The fished joints had been used for about five or six years, and it had become a rule among engineers that as the old metals were worn out the new metals were pro perly made to enable them to be laid with fish joints. Week by week the portions of fish jointed lines are increasing, for as the old metals are worn out they are replaced by metals with fish joints. One van was sufficient for a light train of four carriages, but when the traffic increased in November, and the trains were heavier, two vans were used. In this accident a second break would have been of no use whatever. Mr. Baron Martin having summed up, and directed the jury that the company were bound to use all necessary care to insure the safety of the passengers, The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the defendants. WOOD AND OTHERS V. ADAMSON AND OTHERS. Mr. J. Wilde Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Cross, and Mr. Webster a ppeared for the plaintiff's; Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. Ma nisty, Q.C., and Mr. Hiudmarch appeared for the defen dan ts. This action was brought by the plaintiffs, who are engi neers at Liverpool, against the defendants, alio are ship builders at Sunderland, for the infringement of a patent granted to Charles Lamport on the 19th June, 1850, fur an invention of, among other things, en improvement in winches. This patent had been assigned to the plaintiff. by the patentee. Tee invention consisted in adding to an ordinary winch an apparwits fe. working chains, termed a " gipsy," so as to make the winch applicable to working chains as well as ropes. The gipsy consists cf a pulley fixed upon as axle, with which it turns, and has several pairs of projections, called " snugs," placed opposite each other at intervals around the groove of the pulley, so as to form recesses to receive the links of a chain as they enter the groove alter nately edgeways and sideways, and thereby preventing the chain from slipping when motio n is g iven to the gipsy pul ley by turning the axle. The patentee by his specification claimed the combination of a gipsy with a barrel used for working a rope in an ordi nary winch. Tee gipsy and the rope barrel were both admitted to be old, but it was alleged that they dha never been combined in the same winch, and the plaintiff - c ev alled witnesses to prove the novelty of the combination. On the part of the defendants, it was proved that a patent was granted to Thomas Pratt on the 23d of February, 1839, for an improvement in ships' capstans and winches, which consisted in adding to them a pulley the same as a gipsy. Pratt's specification drawings, however, did not show a rope barrel but only an ordinary pulley fixed upon the same axle as the gipsy, although it showed a rope barrel and a gipsy combined in a capstan. It was also proved that a patent had been granted to T. Brown on April 20, 1847, for improvements in the gipsies added to capstan, windlass, and otherbarrels, but the draw ings did not show a winch containing both a gipsy and a rope barrel. The defendants then called Mr. J. C, Gibson, who proved that, anterior to the plaintiff's patent, he bad purchased Pratt's patent, and inside winches under it, containing or dinary rope barrels as well as gipsies. Mr. Wilde then admitted that he could not sustain the patent, and the jury at once found a verdict for the defen dente, on the ground that the invention was not new at the date of the patent. LAFONE V. SMITH AND OTHERS. Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Aspinall appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. C. Blackburn for the defendants. This was an action for libel against the proprietors of the reLiererhpaonotl,lBllnedract y tr o y u .

The apology spoken of had been inser ted in the place devoted to notices to correspondents, and it was allege d b y the plaintiff that that was not a sufficiently public part of a p p la o t i n o t a i y ff. was the tp2 thera a ep n ee Pr4rapbaolpnerudttteotarhttrait:taenstmghwueflijitothr.oyiptuitfwogbfaresoi r eaders.ns ssgonepsgme negligence el i n nta a cs l we l personally in a pab e ul q esb u ola a iusl i mrh n gi t on e esgd : sufficient in terms, ° so prominently placed in the paper a.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, AUG. 27. (Before Mr. Baron Wats m.) THE OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON RAILWAY COMPANY V• MARSHALL. Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Coleridge were counsel for the plaintiff's; and Mr. Collier and Mr. Kerslake for the defen dant. This was an action brought by this company to recover compensation in consequence of the defendant having left a large quantity of timber on their premises for 16 months. It appeared that on the disforesting of the Royal Forest of Wychwood the defendant bought a large quantity of the timber. He brought it to the plaintiff's' station at Cheri bury; it having remained there for several months, the plaintiffs wrote to the defendant, stating that if he did not remove the timber he would be charged 6d. per ton per week. To this the defendant sent no answer. Still the timber re mained, until at length the company, being put to extreme inconvenience from the timber being allowed to remain in their station, the present action was brought. Proof was given of these facts. Mr. Collier, in cross-examining a witness, asked him if it was not the custom to allow timber to remain at railway stations for an indefinite period ? Mr. Baron Watson—Supposing every time your tailor madeyou a coat he gave you a glass of sherry with it, could you turn that into a custom ? Mi. Collier said he understood it was the custom for rail ways to allow it. For the defendant it was urged that railway companies required a great deal of watching, and if they could get in the narrow end of the wedge they would soon expand what they called their rights to au extraordinary degree. But the defence was that the company had not provided trucks, and the timber remained, to the great inconvenience of the de fendant. The stationmaster had promised that when he had trucks he would give the defendant notice, and he had never done so. The fact was that, in order to procure traffic railway companies were in the habit not only of allowing timber merchants to deposit their timber at the stations, but also in many instances they provided sawpits without making any charge. The defendant had paid E 5 into court, and that, he submitted, was sufficient. The defendant and many witnesses were called to prove that it was the custom of railway companies to allow timber to be left at the stations without any charge. Same of them said that there were not trucks to take the timber away when the defendant wanted them. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages, £6O. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—PICTURE DEALING EXTRAORDI NARY.—W. 2'. Barnes, the son, and Mrs. Barnes, the wife, of Mr. Barnes, the well-known picture dealer and auctioneer, of St. Paul's Church-yard, appeared upon sum monses before Alderman Wire, to answer the charge of con spiracy to defraud Mr. R. H. Peter, a gentleman of inde pendent fortune, residing in Hyde-park-square, of various sums of money, amounting to nearly £2,000, under the following circumstances : Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Metcalfe, for the defendants, submitted that this was a proceeding to damage the defendants' position in an action now pending upon a bill of exchange, and referred the alderman to a case in law. Alderman Wire said this case and the one referred to were essentially different. Mr. Sleigh having stated the facts of the case, called Mr. Robert Herries Peter, of Hyde-park-square, who said—l called at the shop of the defendants in May last, and saw the male defendant. I bought two pictures for £7O, and paid £3 to a man who had previously bought thew, for his bargain. The defendant said they had been exhibited at the Brussels Exhibition. Some time after, Mrs. Barnes called at my house one morning. She told me a lady, whose husband had lately died, and who was a cousin of the Duke of Newcastle, had been left with a gallery of pictures, which had cost her hus band £lOO,OOO, but which she, being in great distress on account of the extravagance of her two sons, wished to dis pose of. Mrs. Barnes also said that the lady wished her to dispose of them to the best advantage. She did not ask tae to buy any of them, but her son called upon me a few days after, bringing four of the pictures with him, and said he had brought some very fine pictures from the collection beliong ing tothe Duke of Newcastle's relative, mentioned by his I mother. He also said the lady did not wish the pictures should be publicly sold. He came on four or five other oc casions, bringing pictures with him, which be said belonged to the same collection. I gave him cheques every time to the amount of the pictures which he valued—one, which he said was a Rosa Ronheur, for £5OO ; one, alleged to be a Turner, for £300; a Rubens, and many others, which I cannot now recollect. One, which he represented as the finest picture Murillo ever painted, he said had cost the lady's husband as much as 6,000 guineas. The amount of the cheques I gave for these pictures was from £ l , OOO to £1,200, besides a bill for £l,OOO which I gave in payment for the Rosa Bonbenr, the Turner, and six others. I should not have parted with any of these cheques if I had not believed that they were genuine pictures, and that they formed part of the collection they were represented as belonging to. The defendants brought me various little presents in the name of the lady, who they said was deeply grateful to me for purchasing her pictures, and that she was having a handsome piece of plate engraved for me. A few days after they told me this, they brought me this silver-gilt cup. Mr. Sleigh—This cup, sir, is inscribed—" Presented to Robert Herries Peter, Esq., by a dear and beloved friend " —(laughter); and I may add that it has a ducal coronet on the lid surmounted with a ram's head. It has also the in scription on the lid—" Newton Races, 1855. The gift of the Lord of the Manor." (Renewed laughter.) Alderman Wire—l suppose, then, it_ was the gift of the Duke of Newcastle. (Laughter.) Witness—The picture produced is the Rosa Bonhear, for which I gave £3OO. Mr. Sleigh—l shall be able to show you, sir, that while these visits were going on, this identical Rosa Bonhenr was purchased at Christy and Manson's for £l7 6s. 6d. At this stage of the case it was arranged to adjourn the further hearing, and the cross-examination of the prose cutor was therefore deferred. The defendants having entered into their recognisauces, the summonses were then adjourned. SHARPERS.—lrilliant Gordon. a tall middle-aged man, with dark complexion, was charged with conspiring with another not in custody to cheat and defraud George Goatley of £5. The prosecutor, a young man fresh from the country, stated that on arriving in town a few days ago he met with a man on Lendon-bridge , who accosted him, and in the course of conversation offered to get him a situation with his uncle, who was in the grocery line. The man volun teered to go with him to his uncle's, and on the way he proposed having a glass of, ale, upon which they turned into a public-house in Water-lane, Blackfriars, and while standing in front of the bar the prisoner came in with a carpet-bag, secured by a small brass padlock. He entered into conversation with them, and then showed them the padlock, which be said they could not open, at the same time leaving the lock in the prosecutor's hands, while he quitted the house for a few minutes. When be returned the prosecutor had succeeded in opening the lock, and the prisoner then offered to bet £lO that neither of them could open it again while lie counted ten. The bet was accepted, and the prosecutor put down £5, and the other man put down a£s note. Prosecutor could not open the lock within the time, and the prisoner put the money in his pocket, but the other man made an excuse toga out, and did not return. The prisoner also got away, but prosecutor met him the next day, when he was taken into custody. Upon being searched there was fdund upon him a counter feit sovereign, two sham bank notes for £5, and three small brass padlocks, one of which opened with a spring, and the other two had a similar appearance, but were soldered so as to prevent the possibility of opening them without violence. A second case was gene into against the prisoner, who offtre.d to plead guilty if he could be dealt with summarily, hut Alderman Wire said it was so serious an offence that he should send the prisoner f , r WESTM INSTE R.—THE ROAD TO RUlN.—Miss Emma Clark, a fashionably -dressed young woman, who stated that she was living with her mother in Carey-street, Vauxhall -bridge-road, was charged before Mr. Paynter with being drunk and disorderly in Vincent-square. Police-constable 13 58, said that about half-past 12 o'clock on Strurday moroiog Its was in Vincent-square, when he heard the prisoner calling out. Upon going up to her he observed that she was intoxicated. Ile endeavoured to prevail upon her not to make such a disturbance, but she continued doing so, He threatened to take her into custody, upon which she flung herself upon the pavement and screamed most violently. He was then forced to take her into custody, and she was lodged in the station-house. Mr. Pay nter—ls anything known of her I Constable—She says that she lives in Carey-street, Vauxhall-bridge-road. Sergeant Howard, B 8, observed that he thought she had given a false address and name. Mr. Paynter—What is she ? Constable—l do not know. She was i n the company of way station; and a labouring man, named Hall, obtained the horse and cart in question on hire from a Mr. Atkinson. On the way to the railway station, however, the prisoner contrived to get rid of Hall, and afterwards attempted to sell the horse and cart, as above described. A Mr. Clark, who stated himself to be a merchant's clerk, now attended as a witness in the first case, and proved that the prisoner offered to him the pony which he had hired at Blackheath. He stated that he had been induced to buy it for £5 when he was drunk, but he ultimately sold it for £3 to the witness, who had since restored it to the owner. The prisoner, when taken into custody, tore from his cap and his arm the badges, with the inscription of the Royal Albert, but it did not appear whether he had really be longed to that ship ; and he was now folly committed for trial upon the charge of horse and cart stealing. MARYLEBONE.—TIIE ACTRESSun AND HER COOK.— In the early part of last week a yg woman Mary Anne Butler, cook to Miss Agnes Elswerthy, the well known actress, residing at 59, Finchley-road, St. John's wood, applied to Mr. Long for a summons against her mis tress for an assault; her application was granted, and the summons was served at defendant's residence by one of the officers attached to the court. Saturday was fixed upon for the hearing, and at twelve o'clock complainant was present with a witness. Upon the on first occasionand she exhi nd bited marks as if from scratche s up her face arm a she also alleged that some hair had been torn from her head. Mr. Lewis, jun., Ely-place, who had been engaged on behalf of defendant, retired with complainant to a private room, where, after some conversation, the matterinto was arran ged without any particular s being publicly gone . OUTRAGE ON A WOMAN BY HER HUSBAND. —Henry Repute was charged with the following violent assaults upon Mary, his wife : It appeared from the evidence of complainant, whose right eye was much bruise d and swollen,that prison living apart from her a nd cohabiting with another woman. On the previous day he came drunk to her (complahen inant's he ) a p a rtments, 18, Mary-place, Hampstead-road, w commenced pulling down some pictures, which he swore be would carry off. She told him he should not do so, and be then gave her several severe blows on her face andd side. He was given into the custo d y of Hall, 264 S, by mhe was conveyed to the station-house. Mr. Long fined him 405., or a month in the House of Correction. ROBBERY BY A SERTANT.— Elizabeth Bernard, who had been taken into cu stod y b y Hoare, 46 D, was brought up for further examination, charged with having on the sth instant absconded from 4, George-terrace, Bays water, and stealing and carryi n g off wearing apparel and other property,',belonging to her master, Mr. Smith. It appeared that, when captured, she was wearing some of the stolen articles, and that she had sold others to a person in Little Portland-street. The primer, who cried, and had nothing to say in her defence, was committed for trial. PLATE ROBBERY. —Henry White, who stood remanded from the previous Saturday upon evidence given by Sergeant Potter, 16 D, and other witnesses, was again placed at the bar, charged on suspicion of having stolen a quantity of silver plate, value £4O, the property of Miss Arabella Bar rett, 7, Delamere-terrace, Paddington. The prisoner was for the present discharged, but was told that he was liable to be re-apprehended in the event of stronger evidence being obtained against him. POT STEALING. --Diary Anne Chivers, an old offender, was charged with having stolen a pint pewter pot from the house of Mr. Avern, the Marylebone Ale Stores, Maryle bone-lane. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, who, on being taken into custody by 100 D , said she hived she should have six months; she had bef ore been punished for a similar offence. She was sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for a month. DURRAM COUNTY AGRICULTURAL two unfortunate females. Prisoner—l am not one of that character. The mother, an elegantly drested female, who was among the crowd in court, came forwar d and said that the prisoner was her daughter. Mr. Paynter—How does she get her living ? Mother—She has no employment, sir. Mr. Paynter—You hear wha t sort of company she was in last night ! Mother—Yea, sir ; she was returning home from some friends. The constable said that she was spoken to by a policem an before he spoke to her. Mr. Paynter—Alt ! she ia on the road to ruin. The prisoner was fined ss. The fine was paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— ROBBERY AT BUR TON'S, OXFORD-STREET.—John Ha zlcwood, shopman and clerk, in the employ of Mr. Burton, the large iron monger and hardware manufacturer of Oxford-street, was charged with stealing a quantity of 'chintz prints, and various other articles the property of his employer. The evidence showed that property of various descriptions was continually being missed fi otn the warehouse, and sus picion alighted upon the prisoner, who had been in the em and - ploy about 12 months. A. watc h was set by the police, on the prisoner's lodgings in Harwood -street, Hampstead road, being searched, a considerable a mount of the property was found and identified. Amongst other things, the finel y ing of a suit of regimentals at prisoner's lortgings led to the discovery that he was also a deserter from the 15th Hu shad ars. There was another case against the prisoner, where he been in a precious service in the Cit y , and which he had obtained by a false character. pleading guilty, sentenced Mr. Binghamhtm to six mon , ths, on prisoner and hard labour, in the house of Cor , rection. WORSHIP-STREET.—TIIE SAIL° R HORSE-STEALER. —John Brown, a sailer w ho had been several week final s in custody, was brought 'b e fore Mr. Hammill, for examination, upon two cl.arges of horse -stealing. In the first case it appeared that the pri soner, who had on his cap the name of the Royal Albert, and had j ust the look of a rollicking ter ju t open for a spre e, went to the of a horse-keeper named Jones, a t Blackheath, and . abLs horse for an hones ride in the 'neiAih no rhond ; and havi ng paid his ls. 64. for the use of it, h e mounted, remar kin g , st that, although he could steer a ship very well, he did not know how he could steer a horse, and then rode off, but never returned, and afterwards sold the horse at Smithfield. In the other case he drove with a horse and cart to Cam bridge-heath, and asked Mr. Coornhes, a tradesman there, to put them up for him. In the course of conversation he stated that he had bought them in St. Martin's -lane for £3: 5 , but offered to sell them for £l5, as he must be off to sea in a few days, and wanted the ready money. Mr. Coombes w ent with him to St. Martin's-lane, to make inquiry, and then gave him into custody on suspicion of having stolen them. In the result it was proved that at a beer -shop at Turnham-green, where the prisoner was boasting of his war like deeds in the Crimean war, for which, he said, he had a medal and two clasps, he expressed a wish for the use of a horse and cart to fetch hit luggage from the 'Waterloo Rail- CLERKENWELL. SHAMEFUL DESECRATION 01 THE DEAD IN ST.

If the parish He (Mr. Selfe) therefore called upon the prisoners to find authorities of St. Pancras then knew that bodies had been bail, themselves in £lOO and four sureties (two for each buried in the ground that was proposed to be built upon, they pi isoner) in the sum of £5O each, to t ppear and take their had a right to let them knew, and they (the authorities of St. trial at the next sessions.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are well aware that this is a case tha, may be tried at the sessions, and then the question to be decided would be what was to be done for the future as it is generally considered that paying the costs is a sufficient punishment. Mr. Cook—All we ask them to do is to pass a similar resolution to that they passed on the previous occasion. Mr. Tyrwhitt—The faculty must be taken to be legal here. If anything can he proved, bring the parties here; but such cannot be done here. lam afraid that some care lessness has taken place, which should be looked after and put a stop to. Mr. Cook asked Mr. Dangerfield if lie would give an undertaking not to touch anything until November, when the courts meet, when he would apply for an injunction ? He had abundance of evidence to prove that the excavations now going on were a perfect nuisance, and that the coffins were lying about the ground like the bars of a gridiron. Mr. Dangerfield would give no such undertaking, but would be prepared to meet Mr. Cook in the Ccurt et Chancery. Mr. Tyrwhitt adjourned the further hearing of the case until Friday, the sth of November, Mr. Dangerfield con senting to have an independent person to look after the work:now going on. The case was then adjourned, Mr. Latchford remarking that tbe.bones that had been found were no doubt those that had been removed by the Government at the time of the Charing-cross improvements. UTTERING FORGED CHEQUES. A sickly -looking young man of the name of Joseph May, alias Lazorance, a person well known at this court, was charged on remand with feloniously forging and uttering a Unity Bank che q ue for the value of £l9 Os. 6d., to Mr. Brooks, auctioneer, of Piccadilly, with intent to defraud. Mr. Crawford, from the office of Mr. Wontner, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Thomas Wakeling, o firm of J. and T. Wakeling, for the defence. Mr. Crawford opened the case at some length, and was said that the eh, roe, the sui . itct a the pre6ent pl osecut passed to the prosecutor so far back as July, 1857, and a mngistrate's warrant had been granted for tbe prisoner's apprehension since Aug,ugt last. The prisoner, however, had managed to keep out of the way until he MS appre heded as be was leavin the House of Correction, where he n had been confined for g two calendar mon ths for keeping a notorious brothel in the neighbourhood of Islington. The prisoner, against whom he understood there were other charges, was connected with a gang of swindlers, one of wimp the prosecutor had been the means of convicting at the Middlesex Sessions fur 12 mo nths. He had an doubt that when his worship had heard the evidence he would send the case to a jury for trial. He then called Mr. Brooks, who said—l am a partner in the firm o Beale and Brooks, auctioneers, of Piccadilly. On the 29th of July last year I had a sale of some cork and timber at Whiteeross-street, St. Luke's. The prisoner, whom I did not previously know, attended that sale and puchased some lots, and gave the name of Lawrence, John-street, West Hack.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred on Thursday, under singular circumstances, upon the tramroad of the Tredegar Iron Company, Monmouthshire. An engine, tender, and three trucks were passing down the line, under the care of Matthew .lanes, a man named Abraham Richards being en the tender, together with a woman, Mary L'Ut i when roar Argoed the tire of one of the wheels belonging to the tender came ell', and the whole train ran over the embankment, and relied to the bottom. The engine driver had barely time to jump off, but the woman and Richards were precipitated with the trucks. Richards was severely crushed and torn, and died shortly after. Mary Lloyd was picked up from beneath one of the trams dreadfully mangled, the adjacent ground being satu rated with her blood ; site was quite dead. At the inquest, held before Mr. Ashwin, evidence was given that the tire was constructed of good iron, and that the wheels were in order upon the starting of the train. The verdict accord ingly returned was one of accidental death. Several fatal accidents have at times taken place upon the line. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Aug. 28, 1858, was 2,465, of which 775 were new cases. SOCIETY'S SHOW. The seventeenth annual meeting of this flourishing society was held at Sunderland on Thursday under most favourable circumstances. The weather was all that could be do fired. The show yard was crowded throughout the day. Amongst the company was a large sprinkling of ladies,, whose attention was equally divided between agri- culture and horticulture, the Sunderland Horticultural Society having taken advantage of the day to hold their show, which took place in the same field. The show was not so good as at the two last exhibitions at Stockton or Durham, but in point of quality it was not to be surpassed. The Challenge Cup, value 100 guineas, "for the best short-horned breeding animal of either sex, to be come the property of the person who shall win it thrice, was won by Mr. Booth of Warlaby, with his two-year-old heifer, " Queen of May," was again awarded to him for his four-! , ear-old cow "Nectarine Blossom," a splendid animal, which obtained the first prize at the recent meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Chester, and also at the Yorkshire show at Northallerton. The only other animals which the judges deemed worthy to compete for this prize were " Queen Mab," a four years' heifer in calf, and a one year old heifer named " Queen of the Isles," both belonging to Mr. Booth. Considerable difficulty was experienced as to whether the prize ought to be given to "Queen Mab" or " Nectarine Blossom," and Mr. W. Wetherell was called in as a referee, and the prize was ultimately awarded to the latter, although a strong feeling was entertained by many that the judges in discarding " Queen of the Isles" had ex cluded the best animal in the yard—and one of the finest shorthorns in England. " Queen Mab" obtained the second prize fur shorthorns at Northallerton, and " Queen of the Isles" was first in her class at the same show ; in addition to which she received the special prize of £2O as the best animal in the yard. She also gained the first prize at the last show of the Royal Agricultural Society. The prize in class 1, for the best bull of any age, was won by " Statesman," a splendid animal, the property. of Mr. Wm. Wetherell, of Aldbrougb. In this ciass also the judges experienced con siderable difficulty in deciding as to the best animal, the competition was so good. " Statesman" won the first prize " for the best bull in England" at Grantham, on the '26th July, and was second at Northallerton. eis but two years and nine months old, and the bull which beat him at Not thallerton was double his age. In class 3, for the best cow in calf or in milk, the prize was awarded to " Nectarine Blossom." In this class Mr. Wetherell competed with his heifer, "Moss Rose," which gained the second prize at the recent Yorkshire show, was second at York last year, and gained the first prize at Middlesbro' and Barnardcastle. In class 4, for the best heifer in calf, Mr. Wetherell's " Ayrshire Rose," beat Mr. Booth's " Queen Mab," which was awarded the second prize; and for the best bull calf, under 12 months old, the prize was given to Mr. Booth's " Sir James," a fine animal, which was shown for the first time. The whole of these animals were consi dered perfect in all the parts which constitute a first-class shorthorn ; in fact, Mr. Booth is sufficiently famed as a breeder to deter parties from competing against him. And we might here refer to a suggestion we have heard as to the alteration of the time of holding the show, and so in creasing the competition. Coming, as the Durham show now does, after the Royal, the Northumberland, and York shire shows, the fact is that the successful animals at these and other exhibitions are entered at it (the prizes being equal to any other show), and the beaten animals, as a mat ter of course, have no inducement to come to a contest where the resalt is almost certain to be against them. We throw out the suggestion for what it is worth, having heard it more than once expressed by parties experienced in these matters. The show of horses was good, both in respect to num bers and quality. In class 22, for the best cart mare, the prize was awarded to a mare, 14 years old, belonging to John Bowes and partners, Marley-hill ; the animal which gained a similar prize at the Hexham show. In the same class was shown a celebrated old mare, " Jolly," aged 22, belonging to Mr. Atkinson, of Peepy, which for many years has carried off the prizes at all the shows in the north at which she has competed. Ad vancing age begins to tell upon her, and she was beaten by. Messrs. Bowes' mare for the first time, at Hexham, a few weeks ago. It is to be regretted that she was allowed to compete again after coming off victorious in so many con tests, it affords, however, another illustration of the fable of the pitcher and the well. The prize for the best three-year old colt or filly was given to a filly by Emperor, the property of Mr. Coulson, of Burnigill, the secretary of the society, beating an excellent filly shown by Mr. N. Clarke, which has competed six times and won four premiums. A little Shetland pony, the property of Sir Hedworth Williamson, was shown as extra stock, and received the commendation of the judges. We ought not to omit mention that Mr. H. Marshall, of this city, exhibited a fine Alderney bull as extra stock. The pigs and sheep were not numerous, but the quality of both was good. The show of poultry was likewise small, and much inferior to what we have seen at previous exhibi lons of this society.—Durham County Chronicle. LOCAL SHARE MARKETS.
