SERIOUS STREET ACCIDENT.--DAMAGES, £25.--BROWN AND WIFE V. HODGYINSON. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at £lOO, sustained in consequence of the negligence of defen dant in driving his horse and cart. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Charnock, of King William-street, for the plaintiffs, said his clients were in a humble sphere of life, Mr. Brown being a sawyer, mai Mrs. Brown, the person injured, a monthly nurse. On the 28th May last Mrs. Brown was going to Blackheath to pay her husband's club money, and upon arriving at Church street, Peckham, she was called to by a friend mho was in a cart on the opposite side of the road to that upon which she was walking. Mrs. Brown crossed over, and stood close to the shafts of the cart. While she was talking she ob served a cart driven by defendant (who is a contractor and house proprietor) at a very rapid rate. Defendant must have seen Mrs. Brown, but he drove furiously on, and knocked her down, inflicting serious injuries. Defendant, who had been drinking, was stopped and taken to the station-house, from which place he was not liberated until another person was obtained to take home his vehicle, Mrs. Brown was much injured, and the services of a doctor were required. The jury were asked to give such damages as would com pensate plaintiffs for those injuries, defendant having ad mitted the wrong by suffering judgment to go by default. Mrs. Brown was called, and deposed to the facts men• tioned by the learned counsel. Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, cross-examined the lady as to whether the defendant did not call out. Witness was sure he did not. She was very much hurt. People said defendant was drunk. Mr. Field, the friend spoken of, described the aecident and the state of defendant. Witness found that Mrs. Brown was so injured that he was compelled to drive her to her destination. She was quite sober. Cross-examined—Defendant was very drunk. He tried to stop and nearly fell out at the back of his cart. Had great difficulty in getting defendant to stop. A police sergeant and inspector deposed to defendant's being the worse for liquor, and to the horse and cart being taken to the station-house. Defendant was incapable of driving. The surgeon who attended Mrs. Brown said she was much bruised about the body, and her arm was dislocated. Her system was much shaken, and the accident might have a serious effect upon Mrs. Brown. _ _ _ Mr. Buchanan then addressed the jury for the defendant, and said he should call witnesses to prove that it was Mrs. Brown's own fault she had been injured, and that defendant was not so drunk as had been described. Defendant was called, and said he remembered the acci dent. He was not drunk ; all that he had drank that day, up to the time of the accident, was one glass of porter. He called out to Mrs. Brown to move when he was about 26 yards from her. There was a cart which defendant 'was compelled to avoid, and in doing so he grazed Mrs. Brown's arm. This witness flatly contradicted all that had been sworn by the witnesses as to his conduct. Witness was advised to give the woman 2s. 6d., or it would cost a deal of money. Cross-examined—Had offered to give plaintiff money to settle. rather than have any law 1,,,t it was all her fault. Two witnesses said that defendant was a sober man gene rally, and was certainly sober, though excited, upon the day of the accident. learned The Secondary summed up, and the jury gave plaintiff X 25 damages. TIIIS DAY'S 111AlliETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Very little English wheat was on offer in to-day's market ; nevertheless, owing to the return of more favourable weather for the crops, millers generally operated with extreme cau tion, and the demand for both red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at about Monday's improvement in the quo tations. Foreign wheat, the supply of which continues on a libe ral scale, moved off slowly. In prices, however, no change took place. Foreign cargoes of grain commanded previous rates, but the business done was only moderate. The barley trade was steady, but without leading to any advance in price. There was a fair demand for all kinds of malt, at extreme quotations. Oats were in request, on quite as good terms as of late. Beans and peas were steady. Flour commanded Monday's currencies.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAI.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. OBTAINIXG GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—DanieI Chine, described as a commission agent, and James Keel ing, also described as a commission agent, were charged be fore Mr. Beadon with obtaining, by false pretences, 3 boxes of cigars of the value of £6 from Messrs. IVishart and Lloyd, wholesale tobacconists, Coventry-street. Mr. Powell, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, ap peared for the prisoners. From the evidence of Mr. James Johnson, in the employ of the firm of .Wishart and Lloyd, it appeared that on the 25th of this month the prisoner Chine who then called kimself Stanley, came, accompanied by another man not now present, And ordered three boxes of cigars of the value of £6, to be sent to his office, No. 9, Duke-street, and he would then pay for them. Ho sent the cigars as de sired by the prisoner by the porter, who returned without the money. He (witness) went the next morning and saw Keeling, having previously seen the prisoner Chine pass into the back counting-house. On asking Keeling for Stanley he said he had net then arrived. He told him that was not true, for he had seen him go into the back office, and if he did not tell him he would go into the room and see him himself. Stanley then came out, and said if he would go away and call in five minutes he would pay him, but he refused to leave. Stanley then said if he would go with him to the City to his banker he would pay him. He went with him to two or three different places, but did not succeed in getting the money. The prisoners then left the office, and he ascertained that the cigars had been pledged immediately after, at Mr. Young's, but re deemed by a person who Mr. Young believed had pur chased the duplicate. Thomas Pullen, porter to Messrs. Wishart and Lloyd, proved receiving a parcel from the last witness, and taking it to Duke-street, where he saw both prisoners. He pre sented the bill to Keeling. He said Mr. Stanley was not there, and asked him to leave the parcel, but he said he could not do so without the money. He then said that if he took the goods back most likely Mr. Stanley would not have them at all, being offended at the distrust shown, and that Mr. Stanley was dining in the country with a lady. He took the goods out of Keeling's hand, and Mr. Chine then came out of a back room and said that Mr. Stanley had told him that some cigars were coming, and that he was to forward them immediately to him, and that Mr. Stanley would call and pay for them. He (Chine) then took the parcel away, saying it was all right. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the witness Johnson said that Chine represented himself as Mr. St inley, jun., of the firm of Stanley and Co., commission agents, 9, Duke-street, Westminster. Charles John Thrift, assistant to Mr. Barrington, pawn broker, Princes-street, Leicester-square, proved that the prisoner Chine pledged three boxes and six parcels of cigars on the 25th of May last. Mr. Powell having addressed the magistrate on the pri soners' behalf, Mr. Beadon said it was clearly a conspiracy to defraud and he should remand them for a week. The prisoners were identified as the persons who de frauded Messrs. Parkins and Gotto, the stationers, and it is believed there will be a large number of cases against them. THAMES. LOOK AFTER TOUR WATCHES.--Mr. Maxwell, the chief mate of the screw steamship Marley Hill, lying in the river, waited upon Mr. Yardley, and complained that his watoh, a valuable one, had been obtained by a man named Arthur Morrison, a watchmaker of Leman-street, under pretence of clearing and repairing it, and that he had since been unable to get his watch or to see Morrison. Howland, No. 89 H, a police-constable attached to the court, said other complaints of the same description had been made by seamen against Morrison, who had been long in the practice of going round the decks and visiting the shipping, and had obtained a great many watches and time pieces. He believed Morrison was bankrupt and not to be found. Two orders had been issued from the court for the restoration of watches intrusted to Morrison for repairs, but he was unable to serve them upon him. Mr. Maxwell here said—My wife's father made me a present of the watch. I would not take £l2 for it. He had been to Morrison's house at all hours, sometimes at five o'clock in the morning, and could not ■ee the fellow. He comes round to the ships and gets our watches under false preteices. Mr. Yardley—l believe I have heard of this person be fore. You should not intrust your watch to such a person. You should go to a respectable shop and take a receipt for your watch. Howland—Morrison has got many watches from masters and mates of ships, and they can't get them back. He is bankrupt. Mr. Yardley—Bankrupt or not, he has no right to detain people's watches. Look into this, Howland, and endeavour to obtain the restoration of the applicant's watch, and warn Mr. Morrison against the consequences of detaining people's property. A New AloCaxivuLl ➢OR UTTERING BASE COlN.—Thomas Smith, a dirty. looking boy, aged 16, and wno gave his address, No. 15, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with uttering a counterfeit half-crown to Mrs. Grimes, the landlady of the Ellerthorp Arms public-house, in Kirby-street, Poplar. Mrs. Grimes said the prisoner came into her house with a jug, which he placed on the counter, and called for a pint of porter, for which he handed in payment a half crown-piece. She took it up and found it to be a counter feit one. The prisoner refused to say where he lived, or who sent him for the beer, and she gave him into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said a man sent him for the beer, and gave him the base coin. Mr. Yardley inquired the distance from Hare-street, Bethnal-green, to the Ellerthorp Arms, in Poplar, and the officers in court answered three or three miles and a-half. The prisoner said he was sent from Hare-street, Bethnal green to the Ellerthorp Arms, in Poplar, for the beer. (Laughter.) Mr. Yardley—Nonsense ; not a very likely proceeding. Police-sergeant Dillon, 19 K, said this was a new dodge to pass base coin. A boy without his hat entered a public house in Bow with a jug, a few days since, and called for a pint of porter, for which he tendered in payment a base half-crown; and when the fraud was discovered he ran away, leaving the jug behind him. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner until Tuesday next. TEIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Aug. 31.—Wind this day at noon—South- Westerly ; pleasant breeze, and fine weather. CARDIFF, Aug. 30 . —Wind W.

THE HARVEST NEAR PARIS.—The fine weather which has prevailed during the last few days has been turned to good account for harvest work in the neighbourhood of Paris. Every disposable hand has been employed, and a considerable quantity of the productions of the earth been safely housed. Reapers have been also at work in cutting the crops which remained standing, and as the corn which had been before cut had been placed standing in shocks and covered with a reversed sheaf, the grain has not suffered by the wet. - - - A NOVEL MATCH.—The match at Newmarket between three race horses and five couple of foxhounds, over the four mile course, to come off in the next October meeting, is beginning to create some interest in sporting circles, and the betting appears to be even. Many are in favour of the hounds, while others more acquainted with the qualities of both hounds and horses over such a dis tance, are in favour of the horses. The hounds will run by a scent trail over the course, which will be so divided that the canine racers cannot run upon that of the horses. Two couple have already been down to Newmarket, and from what we can gather the best kennels in England are likely to be applied to for the dogs. The match, we understand, is for £2,000, and the conditions of winning will be, not that all the horses shall be before every hound, or vice versa, but that if one horse is before the hounds, or one hound before the horses, the match will be decided thereby.— Bury and Norwich Foss. IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. THE HARVEST. Being now on the eve of September—the month in which harvest operations are nearly completed in Ireland—the apprehensions for the safety of the yet unrip© crops are daily, if not hourly, becoming more serious. For the last few days there has been nothing like a permanent amendment in the weather —there have been some snatches of sunshine, accom. parried generally by brisk winds, which are just now highly serviceable, but the rain still predominates. Yesterday was extremely fine up to night fall, when the sky was again overcast, and the showers recom menced and continued up to this morning, and it is at present gloomy and wild looking. The Cork Examiner of last night says— " The weather appears to be singularly variable throughout the country, and its uncertainty was curiously illustrated in our own neighbourhood. On Sunday heavy showers showers fell in Passage and Queenstown, while on the seashore of the har bour not a drop of rain fell. Monday was a most glorious day in Cork, while about Crosshaven and other parts near the mouth of the river rain fell in torrents. Yesterday, to the intense disappointment of those whose hopes had been buoyed up by the fineness of the preceding day, the rain began to fall at 10 o'clock, gradually increasing in intensity to wards midday, and continuing with great severity until nearly nightfall. This rain extended over the greater part of the county of Cork, though the telegraphic weather report of yesterday reported almost every other district of Great Britain and Ireland fine. The appearance of the crops here still continues to give cause for much anxiety. There is probably no better corn country in the whole county than the district lying between Cork and Midleton, but even there, among fields of fine produce and perfectly ripe, crops of oats may be seen as yet quite green, with hardly a yellow ear among them. Many wheat fields, too, are very backward. Frequently the hay seems to have been very badly saved, and much of it lies upon the ground in a state that makes it not worth removing. In every cornfield where the crop stands in stook numerous heaps may be seen of sheaves to wet that they would not stand, and were therefore compelled to lie in dirty, saturated bundles. The further east you go the poorer alp the crops, and the more do they, especially hay, seem to have been damaged. To the west of the county things are still holding out well, but every day that passes makes a favourable change of -vea- , ther matter of great anxiety. Fortunately, we still continue to hear good accounts of the potatoes, and even in Youghal, where they were considered to have been among the very worst in the county, the crop is turning out better than was expected. This day the weather has taken up again, and, notwith standing the fall of a shower or two, gives occasion for hope of a favourable and lasting change." From Wexford, another extensive corn-growing district, the last report is as follows : " The hearts of the farmers are beginning to rise, and the public have cause to rejoice in the prospect of improved weather which it has pleased an all wise Providence to open to us for the past few days. Saturday was, in the main, favourable, a soft mist only occupying a portion of the afternoon, but the night was breezy and bright, as was Sunday, which did much in improving the condition of the cut corn. About 3 o'clock on Monday morning, we experienced a very heavy shower of hail and rain, accompanied by a strong west wind, but we are happy to learn that it was almost limited to the im mediate locality of Wexford, passing away eastward over the Channel. Monday was, with the excep tion of two light showers, favourable weather, and all hands were engaged in rearing, binding, and stacking ; while 3 esterday was in general respects favourable and delightful harvest weather till noon, when it became hazy, terminating in rather heavy and continuous rain. The quantity of grain immediately awaiting the sickle is wonderfully small, and even under the most favourable conditions full another week will elapse be fore the weight of the harvest will have ar rived. Spring oats were more generally sown last season than for some years past, and they partake, of course, of the general backwardness. Tartary oats are pretty common, a prolific crop and stood well. The bean fields are excellent, the stalks tall and generally well podded from bottom to top. An intelligent and closely observing gentleman, who has lately travelled in the west of Ireland, informs us that the appearance of the harvest is far more advanced here than he found it in the County Clare ; but he particularly remarked there the superior aspect of most kinds of cereals, which he aa r a b,, .4,, r-ip ottrihnth to the much smaller quan tity of seed used, and the consequent greater expo sure to the air, which causes each seed root to tiller abundantly and gain a more robust strength, and prevents it from falling under rain, or enables it to rise again."

Renter's telegram has doubtless ere this informed you of the unexpected arrival of Kossuth at this place. He came in by the steamer 3 esterday after noon, at half past 4 o'clock, from Colico, and took up his abode at the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne, on the shore of the lake, midway between Colico and Como. At half-past 7 o'clock the hotel and the adjacent gardens were illuminated, and bonfires were also lighted on the shore, which were quickly responded to by a number of similar beacons at several points along the long mountain ranges of the opposite side of the lake. The population of Bellagio is but small ; yet scarcely an inhabitant could have been absent from the spot where the Hungarian liberator had taken up his abode. The enthusiasm of the people was very great, and at each discharge of cannon their cries of " Viva Italia !" " Viva Ungheria !" " Viva Francia !" and, though last, not least, " Viva Ing hilterra !" were as loud and noisy as the most vehe ment patriots could desire. The town band, consist ing of nearly 40 musicians, assembled under the window of the hotel, and played several airs with much precision, the most popular of which seemed to be the Hungarian March ; after the performance of which Kossuth appeared at a window, and bowed several times to the populace, which act was the signal for renewed vociferation. At about 10 o'clock the crowd dispersed, and the lights of the hotel were slowly extinguished. By a singular coincidence Prince Albrecht of Prussia arrived from Colico by the same steamboat in which Kossuth had embarked, and proceeded at once to his elegant villa opposite to Bellagio, from which he had been absent for two years at Candana. Satur day was also the birthday of the son of the Marquis d'Azeglio, in compliment to whom many of the villas were brilliantly illuminated along the shores of the lake, the effects of which, under a lovely Italian sky, with a bright-shining moon, were most fairy-like. At an early hour thin morning the town band took a boat, and as they approached the Hotel de la Grande Bretagne serenaded Kossuth, who again appeared and acknowledged the compliment offered to him. The movements of this remarkable man are at present unknown, but the general im pression here appears to be that he is about to take some part in the war of liberation, than which nothing can be more popular in this part of Italy, if the signs of enthusiasm everywhere apparent may be taken as genuine. The hatred against Aus tria, at all events, is most unmistakable. The Prin cess Demidoff is staying at the Hotel Genazzini, which is adjacent to Kossuth's hotel. The fair Russian seemed to be much interested at Kossuth's reception, and as soon as the serenade of this morning began appeared on the belvedere of the hotel. NEW Hon.—The first pocket of now hops reached our market yesterday from Mr. T. Manwaring. of Marl place, Breachley, Sent. It is from the same plant as the first pocket of last season, known as "Guests early proli fic," but is nearly three works later to market, and although grown in one of the most healthy and least blighted dis tricts of the plantations, is inferior in quality to that of last year. It has been sold by Messrs. Latter, Austen, and Sons, to Messrs. Bakers, White, and Morgan, of Hibernia - cha m • bers, London-bridge, at £22 per owt. STORM AT PORTSMOUTH.—PORTSMOUTH, Thurs day.—Portsmouth and its vicinity has been visited with another tremendous hurricane. The weather had been un settled for many days, frequent rains and sharp gales, but this morning, at two o'clock, the storm burst forth in all its fury, tearing open window shutters from their fastenings, uprooting trees, levelling hundreds of acres of corn to the earth, and utterly destroying many of the finest gardens at Soutbsea. The houses shook with the fury of the blast, and many of the inhabitants got up, nor did they return to their beds until long after daylight, at which time the storm had partially softened down ; the gale, how ever, from S.W., has continued throughout the day. Th men of war have struck topgallant yards and masts an. housed topmasts, veering out plenty of cable and letting gc. another anchor. The danger flag has been kept up at Gos port, and the signal flag hoisted at the dockyard semaphore to prevent any communication between the ships and the shore from Spithead. It is feared that many deplorable accidents will have occurred. It is already rumoured that the Wildfire, schooner yacht, was seen to go down off Port lend, head foremost. We hope the report is without foun dation, but it is believed generally throu g hout the port. Two boats were lifted by the storm off the beach, blown to a great distance, a nd smashed like orange boxes. The low lands are completely inundated, and many good fields are under water. The tide has already risen a fearful height, and being full moon on Friday, should the south-west wind prevail, the whole of Point will be covered by the ea.

Jay, to draw from the Government stores two six-pounder guns, wih harness, &c., which have been granted for the t a of the troop. The butt at the Crystal Palace erected for the London Rifle Brigade having been found to require some addition before it will be available for prac tice, the commanding officer is making arrange ments for the use of another butt at a convenient distance from town, where ball firing can commence without further delay. The exertions of the adju tant to organise a volunteer bugle band have been attended with gratifying success. The band played for the first time at the head of the battalion on Tuesday last in the Regent's Park. The Victoria Rifles (Ist Middlesex) still manage to keep up . a very creditable muster, the crack of the rifle being heard all day long and under every variety of weather in their spacious practice ground at Kilburn. The evening parades are now chiefly devoted to the bayonet exercise, in which thetnen take the greatest interest. A strong desire exists a p y le o s n of e t among the Victoria Rifles to develope the study of the most formidable weapon upon the - the fencing school, whereby th e musket P ta r n i d ile b i becomes b e i ng capable of wielded with n ea rly the same skill and finesse as foil itself. ! g 1 The commanding o ffi cer of the 13 th Kent , or Greenwich and D ep tf or d Corps, has intimated his intention of ra i s i n a company of cadets formed of youths betwe e n the ages of 12 and 16, Already 20 names have been received, the annual subscription being fixed at 10s. 6 d.

When farmed this company is to be attached to the Ist Surrey Rifles. 7110
