The Debats has the following on the commerce of Belgium : " We consider it important to frequently state etate of commerce in Belgium, th 'x e alp fie in g e ot t i h a e - Lions which France has ente,redtincwt, which that country into with appears to give a particular interest, Be.gi.atnhe marked commercial have hitherto profited largely revival which almost everywbehiebyhas characterised 185' ) . the Belgian Govern- The monthly tables published Govern ment show that the exports of coals, machinery, li nen threads and cloths , p late and window glass, and cotton stuffs had much increased up to the Ist . of Aagust last In coals the a ugmentation has h been 125,000 tons and that altogeth er in importsntoof France; f the i n .. linen threads the difference is upwards i ~ r eater part of which has also been sent 238 t0 kFI .n e a gs c . linen-cloths the increase 19 upwards of 60 per cent., and a l s o bears mostly on our purchases. Pig-iron has in creased but little, and wrought iron and small castings, particularly nails, show a diminution, which seems to prove that the competition of Germany is increasing. The exportation of sax in masses has also fallen OS, ant sheet-zinc ha s cons id erably increased, England, where building is going on at present to a great ex tent, taking a large quantity. The exportation of books has not mach varied. Belgian imports have na turally felt the effect of this acceleration of sales. In place, for in s t ance, o f 6.548 000 kilags, o f raw cot t on ,. Belgian manufactures h a d con s um ed up to the Ist of August, 1 3,189,000, or nearly double; in raw hides the inc rease had been from 639,000 to 985,000. The amount of corn gives a fair idea of the extrao r di nar y wan t s of Belgium; the quantity of wheat h as r i s en from 269,000 to 600 , 000 . .The Came is the case for all articles of consumption, aseh as coffee, coarse sugar, tobacco, salt, all of which sh ow a l a rge increase; but it is English salt which this year has had the advantage over ours, the inverts of which has notably decreased. Salt is one of the articles mentioned in the treaty, the renewal of which is now proposed, and it is annoying to remark that our wines, woollen-threads, silk-tissues, and woollen and cotton cloths, which are in the same case, have not gained, but have even lost. Such is the case with the com merce, properly so called, of Belgium. Now, if we examine the state of her transit, which her position, her railway from the Rhine to the sea, and her canals tend le render so important for France, we shall find that it 12A3 also considerably increased. By the Belgian-Rhenan hallway alone the transport from the east to the west, that is, from Antwerp to the Rhine, was during the last three months 15,992 tons, in the place of 9,229, or an augmentation of 73 per cent. The movemtrit of corn towards Northern Germany, the wants of which have aeen exceptional, counts no doubt for :::inch in this increase ; but the greatest part attic prin cipal manufacturing mat:era have participated in this improrernont, The same has not been ex,ctly the case for the transit from the west to the east, that is from Cologne towards Antwerp, which has slightly fallen aft. But that is °lie of the consequences of the extraordinary amount of corn w::ich Germany has on this occasion caused to be brought to herself in place of sending it, as to ET;gland The boats on the Rhine are also muk ng, and not without some success, grand efforts to turn snide to the profit of the pa Waage down the Rhine a part of the Belgian traresit. However that may ba, that of Prussia by Belgium in manufactured produce appears as yet not to have lost anything of its habitual importance. From all that precedes, it may be concluded that the commercial affairs of Belgium are et present in an excel lent position, and in what regards our relations, that reentry has sensibly increased the opening which it finds in our consumption."

MORPETII, SATURDAY.—Yesterday evening the Earl of Carlisle delivered a lecture in the Town• hall of this ancient borough, under circumstaric-s of con siderable interest. A few days ago, it being known here that the Noble Earl was shortly about to visit his relatives, the Hon. and Rev. F. R. Grey and Lady Eliz ibeth Grey, at the Rectory in this town, the committee of the Mechanics' Institute, of which his Lordship is the patron, assembled and passed a resolution inviting him to avail himself of the occa sion of his visit to give a lecture on whatever subject he might choose to the members of the institute at large. The resolution was duly communicated to the Noble Earl by the secretaries, and in the course of a day or two elicited from his Lordship a courteous reply to the effect that he had not had time to prepare an original lecture, but offering to read his lecture on the " Poetry of Pope." The committee gladly em braced this proposal, and the necessary arrangements were made for the occasion. The Noble Earl arrived here by the mail train on Wednesday night, after attending the banquet given that day at Newcastle npon-Tyne to Mr. Ord, and immediately proceeded to the rectory, where he joined the Countess of Carlisle and the Dowager Countess Granville, who are also at present on a visit there. On the following day his Lordship, ac companied by his agent, Mr. Fenwick, of Nether ton, visited the magnificent new church of St. James, the foundation stone of which was laid by him a few years ago, and which has been erected by voluntary subscriptions collected under the auspices of the pions zeal of his brother-in-law, the Hon. and Rev. F. R. Grey, the rector of this town. They also inspected, under the guidance of the Rev. Mr. Lowe, the new Roman Catholic chapel built re cently in Aldgate, on a beautiful site which was for merly part of the garden belonging to the residence of , g e , r p e c r e t e p d a r u a n t d o r e y r t h t eo superintendence Lord Collingwood , one of our naval worthi es. Yesterday Town n ar e nbrugh, was brilliantly li g h te d up f or o fi f ne si o r ld j John evHenailnl the occasion, and by eight o'clock, th e h our appo i nte d for his Lordship's arrival, was completely filled by an audience of nearly 300 persons, consisting of the mem bers of the Mechanics' Institute and their families and friends, including the wealthier classes and a great number of the trading and operative inhabitants of the town, all of whom were admitted by ticket. The raised bench from which his Lordship spoke was adorned with several choice bouquets of flowers, the votive offerings of l a di es i n the town. Sherd; after eight o'clock the Earl of Carlisle, accompanied by his sister, Lady Eli za b eth Grey, entered the hall, and their appear ance was the signal for a round o f en thusiastic cheers. The principal members of the committee occupied seats in the immediate vicinity of the chair. On the motion of Mr. WILSON, librarian, Mr. A. Charlton, the deputy-judge of the Manorial Court Leet and Court Baron in this town, was called to the chair, and briefly introduced the Earl of Carlisle to the meeting. His LORDSHIP then proceeded at once to read the lecture on the poetry of Pope, which he delivered in the winter of 1850 to the members of the Mechanics' Institute at Leeds, as will be still in the recollection of our readers. To numbers, however, of the present audience the subject had all the freshness of novelty, to others, who had previously perused it in print at the time of its first delivery, the interval that had since elapsed was sufficiently long to reinvest its se cond reading with considerable interest ; but the pleasure and the charm of listening to it from the lips of its amiable and accomplished author were on this occasion new alike to all. The thorough ac quaintance with his theme which the Noble Lord ex hibited throughout, his nice and delicate criticism, his profuse but still judicious selections from the writings of the great author whose merits he was expounding, and the unaffected warmth and feeling of his elocu tion, kept the interest and attention of his auditory on the stretch for nearly a couple of hours, while the in teresting quotations which he gave in illustration of his subject moved them ostensibly to admiration, to laughter, and to tears. The lecture was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the company, and on its conclusion, which was loudly cheered, The Rev. W. AYRE rose on behalf of the com mittee, and, addressing the meeting, said he had been requested to propose a vote of thanks to the Noble Lord for his kindness in reading to them the lecture to which they had listened with such delight and sa tisfaction.—(Cheers.) Mr. CLEMITSON having seconded the motion, it was carried by acclamation. The Earl of CARLISLE then rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, you must allow me, in a few words, to express my very deep sense of the honour I have just received at your hands, in the first place to the mover and seconder of the late resolution which they have so considerately brought forward and so very kindly as regards myself, and to yourselves for the prompt and cordial manner in which you have re ceived what they proposed. I assure you, when I Sound that it would he acceptable to the members of the Morpeth Mechanics' Institute and their friends to hear me read a lecture, I felt quite justified in em bracing the opportunity which a short visit to this town put in my power to comply with a request so ob.iginely made.—(Cheers.) I felt also there was somwthing not woolly inappropriate in a lecture which had been read for the first time among those who witnessed the close of my political life —my old coestituents of the West Riding of Yorkshire —being repeated among those who witnessed the commence ment of my political life, my first constituents in the ancient borough of Morpeth.—(Loud cheers.) With reference to the lecture itself which I have had the honour of reading to you, it has been once or twice said to me, " Do you think that the audiences you assemble to beer your lectures would be likely to relish a lecture on the poetry of Pope ; and might it not be better to compose a lecture which more directly tended to pro mote the cause of moral improvement ?" Now, with respect to this matter, I have only to say—first, with regard to any want of sympathy i n my audiences, I always feel inclined to believe that where there is the real presence of beauty or delicacy, or fine and high feeling, it is always sure to strike a responsive chord in all human bosoms--(Cheers)— and if I wanted my assurance corroborated on this point, I em certain I should find it in the very atten tive and intelligent hearing which you have given to my lecture this evening. With reference to the other point, as to the absence of any direct purpose of mo• ral utility in the topic I have chosen, I certainly do not with to assign to works of fancy or the composi tions of poetry any higher place than they really occupy. But as we see in the physical earth on which we tread, among all its abundant stores of useful and substantial products—its stone, its coal, its iron, and its lead—there are also veins of more precious, shining metal, its gold and silver, and as even in its darkest recesses and its deepest fissures you will find sparkling gems and precious stones, its diamonds, its rubies, and its garnets, so I believe that among those matters which more directly minister both to our temporal advancement and our spiritual progress, while we give them their just and lawful supremacy, the Supreme Architect of nature, the Founder both of the material and the moral world a roun d us , h as w i s hed that we should en joy and appropriate to ourselves the sparkle and the ply of life—all that is contributed by the rich stores Of h fancy,pre preference b to y ,. t h h u e t in gorgeous conjunction dreams witho p o e t t h r y e moren ot teri al, intelle'lettluaall grave and essential matters which minister to our ma cheers.)

I am sure among the institutions which in our day are distinguishing themselves in this onward course, it will always be a great gratification to me to hear of the prosperity of the mechanics' institute of this town- For reasons dating through some centuries no e, I have a right to feel strongly interested in this town ; that interest his been confirmed by the uniform kindness I have always e p , rl ; 'ed among you, and I wish th at b oth i n your ordinary occupations and in the rational amusements with which you diversify our daily life, you may onest " h, i all aucli liberal pure(?vely, and of good re p or t," an d t h at , institutioes may flourish among you to the very almost.—(Cheers.) the kindness irst.—(Cheers.)

Lord Portman, Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset, has sig nified his intention of enrolling the militia forthwith. LON JON, SOMERSETS HIRE CENTRAL RAILWAY. A public mieting of laudawners and others, resi dent in the neighbourhood of Wells, was held o n Friday afternoon, at the Town Hall, in that city, for the purpose of taking steps to promote the formati on of a railway for central Somersetsbire, for the making; of which an Act of Parliament has already been ob tained, and for which the support of many influential parties is fully expected. Among the gentlemen who attended on the occasion were M. Castle and W. Watson, Esqrs., directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, E. F. Gregory, Esq., C.E., Capt. Seymour, Mayor of Wells, Capt. Giles, G. Baron Northcote, Esq., E. Sanders, Esq., G. Worry, Esq , Thomas Porcbporch, Esq., T. H. Roach, Esq., Toogood, Esq., Robert Davies, Esq., the town clerk of Wells, &c. G. B. NorracoTE, Esq., havi ng b een ca ll e d upon to preside, said the present was a bona fide attempt to with railway accommoda stiuopnp,lyantdhe city loog of at Wel ita ls as sensible and practical men, the question with them should be not so much, was it the best possible line whi c h cou ld b e construc t e d ? but, was it not the only line which there was any chance of their getting? Having secured by pur chase the canal between Highbridgn and Glaston bury, having o bt a i ne d an Act o f P ar li ament, an d naving fulfilled all the preliminary requirements, the directors of the Scmersetshire Central Railway were of opinion that they were only paying the inhabi tants of Wells a proper compliment, and, at the same time were not asking more than might be fairly ex pected of them, when they came among them to ask them for assistance in carrying out the under taking successfully to completion. The sum of 10,0001. more was required for the purpose, and surely the citizens of Wells would find no difficulty , in subscribing for the whole, or at any rate for a con siderable portion of that amount.—(Hear.) About .500 shares only remained to be taken, and those would be issued in such a manner that if the line was not completed there would not be any liabi lity attaching to the holders. As soon as those shares were subscribed for he might venture to promise them that not a month, or even a fortnight, would be al lowed to elapse before the works were commenced. It would not, he presumed, be necessary for him to enter at that time upon any general observations as to the advantages of the line to the county and to the public generally ; they must be sufficiently obvious to all, and he would therefore content himself by asking their attention to some observations upon matters of fact which would be addressed to them by Mr. Clark. Mr. CYRUS CLARK then brought before the meet ing some elaborate statistical tables, which had been prepared to show the probable traffic over the line, and from which it appeared that when completed it would yield a return to the shareholders upon the capital invested of 81. 18s. 6d. per cent. The calcu lations, Mr. Clark said, had been made with the utmost care and with a desire not to overrate the thing, and he believed that if gentlemen would in vestigate them there could be no difficulty experienced in obtaining not only the capital required to c omplete the line to Highbridge, but sufficient also to carry it on to the city of Wells. Mr. WILMOT inquired whether the directors had informed themselves of the probable cost of carrying on the undertaking to Wells? Mr. GREGORY, engineer, said the amount estimated was 35,0001. or 40,000/. Mr. DAYIES said he was not at all hostile to the undertaking, but he was desirous of securing the advantage of railway accommodation for Wells, and therefore he would recommend the citizens to make terms with the directors for the completion of the line to the city before they at all pledged themselves to its support. The citizens of Wells were not indis posed to exert themselves for the a tt a inment of so desirable an object, but they had been promised so many lines, and had been so often di sa ppointed, that they bad become to some extent supine. It would seem, from the statements which bad been made, that 10,0001. only was required to complete the railway to Highbridge, and that a further sum of 35,0001. or 40,000/. would bring it on to Wells. Now he be lieved that if the directors were pledged to come on to Wells there would be much less difficulty in raising the necessary amount than they would find in raising even the 10,0001. to finish the line to Highbridge only. Let them at once go to Parliament and pro cure powers to continue the line to Wells, and he believed that the citizens and owners of property would well second them with the requisite capital. If, on the contrary, that were not done, he feared that there would be little disposition to assist. Mr. EDMUND DAVIES concurred in the views of the previous speaker, and said there ought to have been a meeting of the citizens of Wells convened by themselves a determine as to the degree of support they would give the undertaking. Mr. CASTLE, as representing the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company at the board of the Central Somer setshire Railway, said he could give a distinct assu rance that the strongest desire was felt by the board that the line should, as advocated by the gentleman who had just sat down, be continued to the city of Wells. The question was one of pounds, shillings, and pence, and as soon as the necessary amount was subscribed for completing the present undertaking, it would be for the interest of the undertaking as well as of the public to carry on the line of railway to the ancient and interesting city of Wells. If the line were carried out, there could be no doubt that a large harbour and ducks would 133 constructed at High bridge, if which were &ale immense advantages must necessarily accrue to both Glastonbury and Wells. He had himself, although a citizen of Bristol, declined to join in a proposition for making docks at Porter head because he believed that Highbridge presented more favourable features, and was more advanta geously situated for the accommodation of ocean going steamers, and was already poss esse d o f a goo d line of railway. He did hope, therefore, that the gentlemen of Wells would regard their town interests and would put their shoulders to the wheel and assist in the formation of the line to Glastonbury. Let them do this, and they might rest assured that the strong bona' fide desire of the directors to carry on the works to Wells would be carried into effect, and that city and district be supplied with railway ac commodation. In reply to a question it was stated that the company could nut borrow money till all its capital was subscribed. Mr. R. DAVIE? wished to know if the Bristol and Exeter Company would assist in carrying the line to Wells ?. Mr. CASTLE had no doubt that they would do so. It should be remembered too, that Captain Denham, who was engaged by Government to sur ve y th e Bristol Channel, had reported in favour of High bridge as a packet port. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. The CHAIRMAN announced his attention of in creasing his interest in the undertaking. Various persons present.then subscribed for shares, and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. SEABORNE MAILS.

(Before Mr. Coiriznisioner FAKE.) IN RE CROSS. The bankrupt, Richard Cross, jeweller, of South ampton, was broiight up to-day from Newgate for examination. The particulars of his flight and cap ture have been made public. It is stated that pro perty worth about 1,3001. has been recovered. His debts are estimated at about 2,1001. Mr. Taylor appeared for the assignees. Mr. HumrinuFs, for the bankrupt, said ha should take a preliminary objection to his signing the usual declaration to the effect that he would truly answer all questions respecting his property, on the ground that the answers might criminate himself. Bills had been already preferred before the grand jury. The CONTMDISIONER said he could not recognise the right of not answering o❑ that ground in bankruptcy. If the bankrupt refused to sign the declaration, tie would be committed at once. Mr. IIumPHRIEB (to the bankrupt)--You must not sign it. Mr, TAYLOR (presenting the declaration)—Do you refuge to sign this ? The bankrupt--I do, by the advice of my solicitor. The COMMISSIONER—Then he is committed to custody. Of course, as he is in custody already, it makes him no worse. Mr. HUMPHRIES asked that the money found on the bankrupt might be given up. The COMMISSIONER said he could only sanction such amount being given up as would be sufficient for the support of the bankrupt's family. The order for his re-committal was then made out, and the bankrupt was removed in custody. ILFOAD PETTY SESSIONS, Sept. 11. Before Mr. W. DAVIS, Chairman, Mr. G. FRY, Mr. 0. MASHITER, and Mr. M'NAUGUTEN.) Mr. Simpson, the lessee of Cremorne-gardens, 31. Poitevin, the aeronaut, and Madame Poitevin, at tended on Saturday before the bench to answer an in formation laid against them by Mr. Thomas, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, c harging Al• and Madame Poitevin with cruelty to a heifer, which they took from Cremorne-gardens at tached to a balloon, and Mr. Simpson with conniving at the act, thus rendering himself a party to it. Mr. THOMAS, wh o con d u cted his own case, stated that i h . Peaarprpy appear e d f o r the defendants. eared on behalf of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to prosecute in this matter. A course had been suggested by the Learned Counsel for the defence, viz., that Mr. Simp son and the other defendants should plead guilty to the complaint, and consen t t o p a y th e full penalty of 51, each, giving, at the same time, an undertaking that such exhibitions should not in future be per mitted at Cremorne-gardens, and to this he agreed. Ile would consent to take the opinion of the magis trates with respect to a point raised in favour of Madame Poitevin—whether she, as a married woman, and acting under the direction of her husband, was liable to any pena l ty at a ll . H e did not f ee l j us tifi e d in adoptin g any other course with respect to the lady than that of m ere l y men ti on i n g the point, and leaving it to the magistrates to consider it. The CHAIRMAN said, that the undertaking, as he understood it, was that no such ascent should, in future, be permitted from Cremorne-gardens ; but they were not the only gardens from which such ascents might be made. Mr. PARRY said that the undertaking would be personal, not to make any such ascents in future. The CHAIRMAN—If I understand the Learned Counsel rightly, the promise is not confined to ere morne-gardens, but it is a promise that the parties themselves will not do this in future. The Bench will retire to consider. Mr. PARRY was anxious to say that it was by his advice, and by Mr. Simpsoa's own desire, that he pleaded guilty to this information, and, therefore, probably the bench would permit him to say one or two words in mitigation of the conduct of that gentle man. Mr. Simpson and M. Poitevin acknowledged themselves guilty of this act under very peculiar cir cumstances, such as had not before occurred since M. Poitevin had followed his profession as an aeronaut ; and he might be permitted to say, on behalf of Al. Poitevin, in the first instance, that he had made alto gether 550 ascents in France and in this country, and 350 of these had been made with three horses, the whole of which were now living, and in a satisfactory condition, as the Bench could see by personal inspec tion, if they so desired. The CHAIRMAN—We have nothing to do with the horses. Mr. PARRY—M. Poitevin had also made a great many ascents with a bull in France, and none of his ascents with this or any other animal had been at tended with any injurious consequences. The ascents were not made until a commission, appointed by the magistrates of Paris and the Prefect of Police, had satisfied themselves by experiment that no danger was likely to arise to those who ascended or injury to the animals themselves. Of course the dc cision which was arrived at in Paris could not guide them upon that occasion, as in this particular instance M. Poitevin acknowledged that he had done what was wrong. Although he would n.ot have pleaded guilty in the case of any of the ponies, it was beyond all doubt that the animal taken up on this occasion had suffered considerably—whether it was in the act of coming down, or in the subsequent excitement of the pople who assembled to render assistance, it was im possible to say. M. Poitevin felt that it was impos sible to resist this information, and, therefore, he threw himself on their consideration, as a foreigner ignorant of the laws of this country, and as one who bad only exercised too great an anxiety for the amuse ment of the public. With regard to Mr. Simpson, that gentleman was well known to the Middlesex f b o e r nc y h ear o s whose license he had had largest hotels in London. He f for m o s o g e is oftr magistrates, was, as they knew, the licensee of Cremorne•gardens place of amusement which had always been most respectably conducted, and against which no com plaint had been made until, unfortunately, Mr. Simpson was induced to enter into an agreement to allow balloons with animals attached to them to ascend from the premises. Over these ascents Mr. Simpson at present had not the slightest control; and, with the exception of his having at first given his permission, he had nothing to do with them. Mr. Thomas, however, argued, and perhaps with reason, that as Mr. Simpson had lent himself to these exhibi tions, he was liable in point of law. He (Mr. Parry) was not anxious to dispute that fact. All he had to say was, that Mr. Simpson was not the master of the place from which the ascents were made, nor was his engagement with M. Poitevin, but with M. Soullier, who was the present proprietor of the circus at Cre morne. Mr. Simpson, however, felt it his duty to conform to the slightest reasonable wish of a bench of magistrates, and had any intimation of disap probation been made from the Middlesex Bench he would at once have complied with any course pointed out, even at the sacrifice of a consi derable sum of money. He trusted that the bench would see the difference between this charge of cruelty, when the greater part of the injuries re ceived by the animal were inflicted by the populace, over whom M• Poitevin had no control, and a case of deliberate and wanton barbarity where there was a manifest intention to torture the animal. With re gard to Madame Poitevin, he urged on her behalf the well-known pr i nc iple of law which said that when ever a woman did an act of this kind conjointly with her husband, s he was supposed in doing it to act under her husbands directions. Now, whatever Madame Poitevin had done, she had done under the control of AI. Poitevin, who appeared before them to answer the consequences of his own act; an d he hoped that the Bench would be satisfied without in flicting a fine upon the wife, who, perhaps a s a wo man, would feel the implied censure more deeply than the other two defendants. They had received the pledge made by all the parties, that these ascents should not be made again ; and he trusted the Bench would take into their consideration not only this pro • mise but at the other mitigating circumstances of the m bring e lnconclusion of case. The CHAIRMAN said that he, and he was s ure that all his colleagues, had isrn pit w d o e r t t e ae r nrmet ngjudg t e n d e , s beforandejury,n n en e t r er n n g g upon the case, that andwould y of it the to a this p people kingdom. lie had no doubt whatever that the atten tion of the English public, and, perhaps, the attention of Europe, might be fixed upon this case, as the deci sion they were to give would set the question at rest at once and for ever. lie should, on retiring with his brother magistrates, urge the two points which seemed to call for their a djudication—Viz., whether they should enter into the details of this accusation or information ; and, 2dly, whether Madame Poitevin could be supposed to have acted entirely under the control and direction of her husband. Mr. PARRY said he presuthed that Mr. Thomas would concede the last point. Mr. THOMAS said that he would concede the fact that Madame Poitevin had ascended with her husband, but he was not prepared to admit that she wits coerced to do so by him. The Magiatrates then retired, and after an absence of some minutes they returned. The CHAIRMAN said that the Bench had taken the matter into their serious c onsideration, and they could not but feel in some degree pleased at the feeling which had been exhibited by air. Simpson and the gentleman who was with him, and they were also pleased and satisfied with the conduct of the prosecu tor on this occasion, as he had prevented by his con cessions an exposure of details vslieh could not have failed to gratify a morbid feeling in the minds of many persons in this country—details which they all felt were most happily avoided. They were gratified that they had been enabled upon this occasion to avoid those details, and they thought that the confession of Quilt which had been made by the parties who were broug'at forward, together with the expressions which 1:33 been used, and the prk - ani , ,e which had been given, would deter others from promoting similar exhibitions. With respect to the point of law which had been raised, the Bench had given it a good deal of consideration, but their feeling was that the exhibition which had occurred was of such a nature as made it absolutely necessary to extend the fine to all the parties impli cated in the business. They would have been most happy to surmise that no woman would have ven tured on such an experiment as this without in some degree being urged on by her husband ; but, under all the circumstances, they could not conscien tiously exclude Madame Poitevin from the fine which had been incurred under the Act of Parlia ment. The Bench was placed, as he had said before, i❑ a very peculiar position, and under circumstances of much responsibility to the public. They would be very sorry to do anything which might prevent persons from contributing to the public amusement, , but they must at the same time hear in mind the , circumstances of this case, and the fact that the pro• secutor in this business had had a very unpleasant duty to perform. They had also to bear in mind that the public had for a very considerable time sanc tioned his performance of those duties, which would otherwise necessarily fall upon private individuals. It would also be remembered that the law to prevent cruelty to animals was established in the first in stance in the early part of the reign of George IV., and was afterwards confirmed and amended in the reign of William IV., and recently sanctioned by her present Majesty. All these Acts, he was happy to say, proved a continual intention on the part of the Legislature to humanise the people and a determination that they should no longer be affronted as they were formerly with horrible exhibi tions. It was within his own recollection that cock fighting and bull-baiting were the common amuse ment of the lower classes, and he remembered well that these amusements were constantly the scene of disorder and riot. He need not mention that a good deal had been effected towards the civilization of man kind during the last 50 years, and everything which they could do to uphold the progress of that civiliza tion it was their duty to do. They would not pander to the lowest tastes of the people by bringing forward detailed instances of barbarity in this case, and he was happy to say that the conduct of Mr. Simpson had enabled them to avoid doing so on the present occasion, and he hoped that Cremorne would no longer be celebrated for barbarous exhibitions, like many other places of amusement for the people. They had had a difficult case to consider, in deciding how far they could interfere in this matter without unreason ably curtailing the amusement of the people, but they hoped that their decision would serve the cause of humanity, without injuring any one. The parties would each be fined 51. and the costs. He wished it, however, to be understood that in any future case the Bench could exercise its discretion as to the infliction of a fine or three months' imprisonment. The parties, after a few observations from Mr. Simpson, paid the fines and retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. _ Lewin Yates Coleman, Joseph Gurney, and Henry Birch, who have been several times examined upon the charge of having forged and uttered a bill, pur porting to be for the acceptance of Coleman and But tin, of Nicaragua, for 1871. 188. 9d., were brought before Sir R. Carden for final examination. The case having excited a great deal of interest the justice-room was crowded during the investigation, which occupied a considerable portion of the day. Mr. Dearsley, instructed by Mr. Hobler, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Bickley appeared for Cole man and Gurney, and Mr. Wontner for Birch. Mr. Dearsley intimated that the prosecutor, having cause to believe that Birch was not conscious of having committed any offence, was desirous that a discharge should take place with respect to that prisoner, whose evidence might be of importance in the case. Sir R. CARDEN could not see the conduct of Birch in that light, and would not listen to the application put to him in a new character, under existing cir cums" ances Mr Dearsley at once submitted to the decision of the Alderman, and proceeded to state the substance of the additional evidence which he had to produce, and which was as follows : Mr. James Allen, clerk in the Royal British Bank, said—l know Coleman. In June, 1851, he kept an account at our bank. On the 30th of June, 1851, that account was overdrawn 6s. Bd. On the 30th of June, 1852, he opened another account in the names of Coleman and Bottin. Upon that occasion I showed him the signature-book, and the account was opened with the sum of 71. I asked him for his signature, and I also told him it was usual to put the names of part ners in firms in the book. He told me that he was the only person who had to draw cheques on the ac count of Coleman and Bottin. In this bill (the alleged forged bill) I believe the writing of the signature of Coleman and Bottin to be the writing of the prisoner Coleman. I have paid cheques of his. [Here Mr. Dearsley handed a bill for 487/. 103., purporting to be the acceptance of Coleman and Bottin, of Ni caragua, to the witness, who continued his evidence.] I b2lieve the acceptance to be in the writing of Coleman. Mr. Bickley—Did not Mr. Coleman say to you that his partner was abroad ? Witness—He did not. Mr. Bickley—Did he not say, when he caine to you, that he was in partnership with a gentleman who was abroad ? Witness—No. Mr. Dearsley—What is the balance to the credit of the account of the firm at your bank now ? Witness —Two shillings and fourpence. Mr. Joseph Nethercliff, of St. Martin's-street, lithographic printer, having looked at the bill for 1871. 18s. 9d. said—l have examined this bill before, and I have seen writing which I have been told is the pri soner Coleman's. Looking at the acceptance, " Cole man and 1 - , Jain," I say that the writing, " Francis Bottin and C 0.," as drawers of the bill, is the same handwriting as that in which " Coleman and Bottin," as the acceptors of the bill, is. I look at the bill for 4871. 10s. The signatures are precisely the same as those in the bill for 1871. 18s. 91, and the bodies of both bills are in my judgment in one and the same handwriting.—(Here the witness stated that there were other similarities between the two bills.) Mr. BICHLEY submitted that in all that bad been stated by the witnesses there was nothing to sustain the charge of forgery, whatever suspicion might be excited that there were grounds for preferring a charge of conspiracy to defraud against the prisoners. But the whole case would, upon the trial, be found to have been got up to prevent a prosecution in another quarter. Mr. Wontner, for Birch, declared that his client was an innocent agent in the case, supposing that fraud had been intended. It was true be had uttered the bill, but to whom did he first apply for discount ? To a money-broker of unquestionable sagacity and caution, who would be most difficult to be deceived; and the second person to whom he offered it was a solicitor of still sharper intellect, who was the decided foe of the person principally interested in the nego tiation. It was not probable that, with the know ledge that the instrument was fabricated, he would have rushed into the lion's mouth. Sir R. W. CARDEN said he would not hesitate to say that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain, under existing circumstances, the charge of forgery, but he considered that the evidence of the conspiracy to defraud was undeniable against the whole three, and it would be in the option of the counsel for the prosecution to shape the accusation according to the additional evidence which he might receive in the in terval between the committal and the trial at the Central Criminal Court. He should therefore com mit the three prisoners for having conspired, by means of a fabricated bill of exchange, to obtain money from the prosecutor, Elias Isaacs. The ALDERMAN then read to the prisoners the usual prefatory words to committal. Coleman said that he wished merely to state that he would have upon his trial an opportunity of proving the grossest case of conspiracy and the grossest case of villany that had ever been practised. The other prisoners said they would reserve their defence for their trial. It was again stated upon the part of the prosecu tion that there was no disposition at all to proceed against Birch ; but Sir R. CARDEN said he certainly considered, look ing to the whole evidence, he was bound to commit Birch with the other two prisoners, and, whatever arrangements might be made at the trial, he would act upon that judgment. The prisoners were then committed for trial, but the Alderman said he would accept bail. MARY LEB ONE. John Williams and Edward Harding, a cab driver, were charged before Mr. Broughton with attempting to rob Mr. Joseph Griffiths, a chemist, residing at 113, Park-street, Regent's-park. It appeared in evidence that about three o'clock that morning Mr. Griffiths was on his way home after spending the evening at the house of a friend in Torrington-square, and went into a public •house at the corner of Munster- street, where he saw Williams, who, after putting a few questions to him, asked him to partake of some gin and water with him, which be did, and paid for himself. When about to lease the house Williams advised Mr. Griffiths to have a cab, but he replied he preferred walking home, and left the house, but had no sooner reached the bridge at the top of Albany•street than he received a tremendous blow on the left side of the head, and something was pressed round his throat by some one behind him, which almost choked him. On looking round he distinctly saw two persons, whom he fully believed to be the prisoners. An attempt was then made to pull his watch out of his waistcoat pocket, but he resisted, and called out loudly for the police, on which they ran off. A. constable coming up he pointed out the road they had taken. The constable SEPTEMBER 13, proved that he went in the direction pointed out to him, and met a cab com , bg to wards him at ,i a great IA rate, the driver of which was the prisoner lleens. I After some further inculpatory evidence the pri soners were remanded for a week. IVORSHIP-STREET. William Murray and Frederick Poole, two well• dressed men, were charged with the following dex terous highway robbery : A gentleman named Cotterill, stated that be was returning from the West-end, at seven o'clock in the evening of the 30th ult., and on emerging from the omnibus in which he had ridden at the corner of Bath street, City-road, he suddenly found himself in the midst of an immense crowd of persons, who had collected opposite the Eagle Saloon to obtain a gra tuitous view of the ascent of one of the Buislays, swinging to the car of a balloon. While passing through the mob he saw that he had been singled out for robbery, for a number of men at once surrounded him in such a manner as could leave no doubt of their intentions, and the next instant he telt a sharp tug at his neck-chain, to which was attached a gold lever watch of the value of sixteen guineas. He thrust his hand over the chain to frustrate the thieves, but found he was too late, quick as he had been, for the chain was broken, and he distinctly saw his watch, which had been drawn, unfelt by him, from his waist coat-pocket, in the hand of a man close to him. This man, whom he believed to be the pri• sonar Murray, he attempted to grasp hold of, but he was baffled by the rest of the gang, who cleverly hemmed him in on all sides, and when he did get free from them, by their suddenly dispersing, both the thief and his plunder were gone. Witness im mediately made his way to the police-station to ap prise the inspector on duty of the robbery, but he had scarcely mentioned a word of the purport of his visit when, to his utter astonishment, an officer extended his hand to him with a gold watch in it, which he immediately recognised as his own. He was quite positive both prisoners formed part of the gang who surrounded him, and felt almost as positive it was Murray who had his watch. Evans, one of the detective officers, said that in consequence of the number of robberies which inces santly took place whenever this kind of ascent oc curred, he mixed in the crowd in plain clothes on the evening in question, and shortly after heard an ex clamation of " Ob, my watch is gone," though he could not see the person robbed. He saw both both Poole and Murray in the crowd, and the next minute both wormed their way through the bystanders in great hurry, and tried to get away. Poole did so, but he succeeded in beading Murray, whom he knew to be a member of the swell mob, and demanded what he bad about him. Murray declared that he had nothing but his own property, and insisted upon being re leased, but he held him with one hand while he searched him with the other, and on discovering the gold watch in his waistcoat pocket, which he felt sa tisfied had teen stolen, he took him at once to the station and charged him upon suspicion of robbery. The charge had scarcely been taken when the prose cutor came in and identified the property as his, and upon being questioned as to the personal appearance of the other men who had beset him, gave so accurate a description of another of his assailants, that he was convinced it was Poole, who generally " worked" with Murray, and, upon subsequently tracing and capturing him, the prosecutor recognised him the moment he saw him, as also did a journeyman shoe maker, named Kindersley, who witnessed the whole transaction, and saw one thief pass the watch to the other directly after it had been stolen. When called upon for their answers to the charge, Poole protested that he was as innocent as the child unborn, and had never seen Murray in his life till he accidentally met him in the crowd ; and Murray, on the other hand, assured the magistrate, that having picked the watch up in the road, he suspected it might have been dropped, and therefore thrust it into his pocket, but that otherwise his character was unim peachable. Unfortunately, however, Brosnan, a constable of the K division, was in court, and not only identified Murray as an old acquaintance, whom he had him self had in custody for felony, but also deposed to being present at the Middlesex Sessions on the 27th of June, 1849, when he was arraigned for that kind of offence under the name of Alfred Johnson, and on conviction was sentenced to a lengthened term of im prisonment. Alderman, the gaoler, also intimated that the last witness had only given:a part of that pri soner's character, as he had known him ever since he was a boy, knew him to have been always a thief, and at least convicted three times. Mr. liAmmiLL, on hearing this, considered that the Assistant-Judge at the sessions would be the most fitting person to adequately deal with the prisoner again, and the depositions having been taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, they were both fully committed for trial. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LivEapooL, SEPT. 11.—A firm steady trade to-day at yesterday's quotations. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 11.—The trade throughout the week has again ruled quiet, without any perceptible alteration in prices. Wilh the exception of 3,258 loads of oatmeal, the arrivals from Ireland at Liverpool and Runcorn are this week extremely light, and those coast wise are likewise unimportant. From abroad there is also a considerable felling off iu the supplies. At our market this morning fresh old wheat was held firmly for previous rates, whilst new receded in value Id to 2d per 701 b. Choice qualities of flour, being scarce, sup ported the currency of this day se'nnight, but the de mand was only languid. Oats and oatmeal met an im proved sale at, fully late rates. WORCESTER, SEPT. 11.—The market was rather gloomy to-day. The farmers from the western division give most sad accounts of the devastation by the storm of this day week. There was a good supply of wheat at market, and last week's quotations were barely sup ported. Engliah white wheat continues at from 4s to 5s per bushel for new, and 6s for old white; red samples of old are worth 5s 6d to 5s 10d, and new 4s to 4s 2d per bushel. Malting barley 3s 6d to 4s per bushel, and distilling 3s to 3s 3d. Old English beans 4s 4d to 4s 6d. Old English oats 43 4d to 4s 8d per 391 b; and new, 3s to 3s 2d. Winter vetches 55 4d to 6s per bushel. At Stourbridge market on Friday good samples of what sold freely at 15s to 153 9d per bag of three bushels. Barley in fair request, at an average rate of 34s per quarter. A brisk trade doing in peas and beans, at fully last week's quotations. At Wolverhampton market there was a large supply of new wheat on sale, the greater part of which, how ever, was inferior in q ua lity and in bad condition. Best qualities of new English wheat receded is per quarter, and other dcsetiptions 2s per quarter. Old wheat, how ever, fully maintained late rates, running from 5s 6d to 5s 8d per bushel Malting barley supported its value, good old being worth 32s to 33s per quarter. English beans quite as dear—viz,, 14s to 153 per 1961 b. Indian corn 12s to 13s 6d per 1961 b. Oats dull, and rather cheaper. English from 20s to 23s per 3121 b, and Irish 183 to 19s. At Ipswich samples of new wheat of good quality were offered, and sold readily; some now barley was in the market, but the maltsters were not disposed to buy at present. At Hadleigh there was a large supply of new wheat, in better condition than any before offered; late prices were scarcely supported. At Bury new dry wheats were taken off readily at last week's quotations. At Woodbridge a considerable quantity of new barley was offered, the greater part of it in fair condition, which was readily taken off. On Thursday, at Stowmarket, the new wheat was ex ceedingly variable in quality; prices as last week. In Herts Wheat has slightly declined. Oa Thursday, at the great barley market at Bishop's Stortford, some new samples were offered, but, it was understood, no sales took place. NOTTINGHAM, SEPT. 11.—Yesterday, at Derby, there was a very small business done in wheat; the majority of samples were new, and last week's prices were fully maintained. No change can be reported in the value of any other article. Wheat, red, 40s to 44s per 36 stone; ditto, white, 46s to 48s; new, 388 to 425. Barley, for grinding, 27s to 30s per 30 stone. Oats, old, 218 to 24s per 24 stone; new, 21s to 23e. Beans, old, 368 to 38s per 38 stone. Flour, 32 to 335; superior, 35s to 36s per 20 stone. At Worksop, on tho same day, there was a large attendcnce, end a g: eat deal of corn sold. Old w hit ) whc at realized ham 17s to 1836 d per load of three bushels; now ditto, 15s to 17s; old red, 15s to 17a. Barley, 278 t) 30s per quartn. Beans, 13s to 16s per load. The supply of wheat at our own market this morning was very limited; the buyers were quiet, but they were obliged to give an advance of is per quarter on the best samples of new and old. There were several samples of new barley offering, without leading to busi ness. Fine new oats made is per quarter more money; in old ones but little was doing. Beans fully kept up their value. GLOUCESTER, SEPT. 11.—Prices must be considered stationary; the decline of last week is maintained. English red wheat, 5s 6d to 5s 9d per bushel; and white, 5i 9d to 6s for good samples; but inferior is sold at all prices —as low as 4s 4d to 5s per bushel.
