I :ig, LONDON, WEDNESDAY V i rOItNI N -G, AUGUST 6, 1,845. ST. MARTIN'S COl:MM.—Messrs. Hills and Mills, woollen drapers, at the corner of St. Martin's-court, had 150 squares of glass in their warehouse demolished. SOIlo-SQUARE.—Besides the mischief done in the imme diate vicinity of Soho-square, already noticed in this jour nal, the premises of Messrs. Cross and Blackwell, her Ma jesty's oilmen, were extensively damaged in consequence of the skylights breaking. COVRNT-GARDEN. — That portion of the Bedford Conserva tory in the occupation of Mr. Bunny, florist, has about three-fourths of the panes of glass broken. About the same extent of damage is done to the other conservatory, occupied by Messrs. Ewart and Co. The damage done by the storm on Saturday to the gar dens of the Royal Botanic Society in the Regent's-park has been much exaggerated. The whole damage amounts only to a portion of the mould from some of the flower-bees being washed on to the gravel walks. In the new conservatory, which covers 15,000 feet of ground, not a single pane is cracked, although many of the fragments of ice picked up in the gardens measured above an inch in length, and were of irregular angular forms. On the other baud, the fall of rain has been of infinite service, filling the lake to overflow, and changing the grass, which by the constant wear of nume rous visitors, aided by the dry weather, had become brown, to its usual healthy colour. Amongst other damage at the west end of the town, the Waterloo Hotel, Jermyn-street, seems to have suffered severely, having had two entire windows of beautifully figured glass entirely destroyed, every pane being broken, together with other glass, upwards of 100 panes in number. Such was the force of the storm, and size of the hailstones, that the skylights were entirely destroyed, before any means could be resorted to for their preservation. PIMLICO.—The amount of property destroyed and damaged in the neighbourhood of Pimlico is most extensive. Many of the houses in the vicinity of the great common sewer were completely deluged, and it was not until late yesterday after noon that the water was pumped out. At Dr. Aldis's, in Chester-square, the skylight at the top of the house was broken ; a double skylight over the library broken ; and after a carpet was thrown over to protect the force of the hailstones was powerful enough to break several panes of glass. &Zany more- windows were broken, and the hailstones projected a long way into the rooms. WOOD-STRRET, Crrr.—The silk-mercers and riband mer chants in Wood-street, City, have sustained great damage by the storm. The skylights at Messrs. Brettle and Son's were broken, and an immense damage was done to the stock in trade by the bursting of a water-spout over the roof. HOLBORN.—FTOIII an examination made there is little doubt that the fall of the two houses, noticed in this journal yesterday, was occasioned by the rain having undermined the foundations. OXFORD-sTREET.—It is quite impossible to state the exact damage done in the neighbourhood of Oxford-street. Nearly every street, lane, and square were visited with equal severity. In Gee's-court the whole of the houses were com pletely inundated for some time, and it is reported that a Child was drowned whilst left alone in its cradle. The re porter, however, was unable to ascertain with certainty whether or not such was the case. The furniture of the re sidents was most severely injured by the water. BRIxTON, CLAPHAM, AND WANDSWORTH ROAD.—The scene that presented itself yesterday in these districts it is impossible accurately to describe. For upwards of a male and a half down the Wandsworth-road, nearly every pane of glass in the south front.s of the houses is demolished. Incredible as it may appear, there were to be seen scattered on the ground many cart loads of broken glass. Mr. Chandler, the celebrated camellia japonica grower, has the whole of his extensive conservatories shivered, and the damage to his plants is incalculable. It is estimated that 6001. will not re place the glass broken. Mr. Merryweather, the engine maker, of Long-acre, had the whole of the sky-lights in his house at Vauxhall demolished, and the furniture saturated with water. In the Clapham-road, These-hill, and Brixton road, a similar scene of desolation presented itself. The Pro prietary Grammar School at Stockwell had an immense number of squares of glass shattered. The total loss of glass onthe Sarreyside of the river alone, it is believed, will amount to several thousand pounds. The damage at the Nine Elms terminus alone will extend to many hundred pounds. At Tulse-hill every square of glass is riddled. 'NEwieroToN.—ln the district of St. Andrew's-road and Horsemonger-lane the housee and roadways were overflowed, and throughout Sunday and yesterday morning men were engaged pumping the rain out of the basement floors of the several buildings. The damage done to property is most extensive. CAIIIBERWELL.—ProbabIy in no part was the hail felt with greater severity than in the Camberwell New-road. One gentleman took the pains to examine the size of the hail stones, and he found that there were not fewer than five or six different sizes, some nearly ae large as walnuts, and other as small as peas. The principal damage done has been to the glass and plants in the market gardens. NOTTINGHAm.—On Saturday evening last an awful thun der-storm, accompanied with heavy rain, visited the town of Nottingham and its neighbourhood. As early as five o'clock in the afternoon, the lightning began to play, and in two hours the whole atmosphere became enveloped in thick dark clouds. Occasionally peals of heavy thunder were heard, and flash after flash of sheet,and sometimes forked, lightning succeeded, indicating that a storm of no ordinary descril Lion was discharging itself In the heavens. From half-past eight till midnight the horizon, on all sides, was one continued glare; but during a whole hour, commencing at half-past nine o'clock, the storm raged with unparalleled violence. The inhabitants throughout the town became terrified as the rain descended in heavy torrents, the lightnings played in cessantly, wed the thunders continued one heavy and ap palling roar, as though the elements had been let loose, and were waging fierce war with each other. So frightful and terrific a storm for so long a period has not been experienced is Nottingham for many years. Apprehensions of the most fearful character were entertained, as the forked lightning constantly-dashed through the air, but little or no damage was done either to the inhabitants or the buildings. This was not the case in some of the surrounding villages where the storm raged with unabated fury for as long a period as in Nottingham. At Nuttall, four miles distant, a fire-ball fell upon a large straw stack in the farm-yard belonging to air. Joseph Faulconbridge, and, although all the villagers turned out, took every bucket and vessel capable of holding water, the whole was soon destroyed ; and, hal not the wind suddenly changed, the other stacks, a very large num ber, would have been destroyed. A messenger on horseback was dispatched to Nottingham for the engines, where he ar rived at a quarter-past 12, but on the town-engine reaching Nuttall the fire had burnt itself out. At Bulwell, a mile or two to the east of Nuttall, the storm was equally severe, and considerable damage was done. At half-past nine o'clock, in the midst of the heaviest of the thunder and liglitunigthree half-bred horses, the property of Mr. Charles Ailcock, were observed to be galloping wildly round a field in the occupa tion of that gentleman ; and the next morning they were found dead, in the centre of the close. They were valuable animals, being worth not less than 1001. the electric fluid had seized their carcases, riven part of the flesh from their bodies, and passed into the ground, making live round deep holes. I have this day (Sunday) been scouring the sur rounding country, and find that no serious injury, beyond what I have described above, c urred from this terrific storm, except slight damage to 7 aofc crops ti of standing corn, which, being over-ripe, had Borne of passed giaraminuebheatteerrniredt., All the country people appear to have te and many of them state, that they apprehensiv e e rea t t h e a r t part of the night on their knees, being d a y of judgment, with all its promised horrors, was real ly the commencing. ,EasTWErnox.—Between six and seven o'clock on Baur dav ev ening, a tremendous hu rricane of wind, accom p anie d - • t of rain and hail, ushered in the storm.

On Sun- DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD. day morning information was brought by a carrier from Cr Rushton, that a youth, eight years of age, the son of a farmer r -P in that neighbourhood, had been swept away by a torrent of J 7.1 M ij nia n da T y drowned, f wa L te E r ic d us ur v in a g a, th A e storm, and a 2 n . d — d T ro h w e ofo his l t s o t w c i , t s 1143' s. a CIF Court COMMON was held for the C will for many a day remember the evening s u s rp p t , ertor a l e 1846.

From 6upto 9 o'clock the _els' of thunder were awfully tremendous, whilst the lightning was of a most vivid character. In Shambles-lane a building was ignited by the electric fluid, and at precisely eleven minutes after eight o'clock the upper part of the tower of St. George's Church was struck, and about fifty feet of the shaft was hurled in all directions. A large portion of it, with parts of the battlements and pinnacles of the tower, was thrown on the roof, whist several huge masses of stone were forced through the roof into the body of the church, indeed the roof and tower present the appearance of a perfect wreck. It is lamentable to witness so much destruction, the work of an instant, of the very handsome church of St. George's. The clock work is destroyed, fused, and scattered in all direc tions. The bell, which had gone through its last curfew peal a few minutes before, is now prostrate, and the hands of the clock face point to the precise moment of its destruction. The organ narrowly escaped annihilation too, a mass cf stones brushed its face, and splintered the singers's seats im mediately before. It is much feared an architectural exami nation of the building will show that its restoration will be one of no ordinary magnitude. Since the occasion_the town has been in high excitement, whilst the neighbourhood of the church has been thronged with anxious gazers. During the night all the fire-engines of the town were employed in forcing the water from the inundated houses; and during this morning many of the townspeople were toiling with the bucket and baling out the water from their premises. It is a general subject of remark, that the drainage of the town is deficient, and the culverts too small to meet a cala mity of the sort that has taken place by the flooding of th^ streets and houses. But, thank God, such storms are of rare occurrence. STORM AND FLOOD OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—(From the Carlisle Patriot. )—During the greater part of the day on Wednesday there was a heavy and continuous fall of rain, which excited considerable anxiety among the farmers as to the mischief with which it threatened the crops, but towards night it gradually swelled into a tempest, accompanied by a storm of thunder and lightning, unequalled on any recent oc casion in this county. Shortly before nine o'clock the clouds assumed a dense and lurid appearance, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder rattled almost without interruption until an early hour yesterday morning, while throughout the whole night there was a tremendous fall of rain, which pro duced, by daylight, the most extensive and sudden flood in all the neighbouring rivers which it has been our duty to re cord for many years. The Eden was swollen to a fearful ex • tent, covering Rickerby Holine and the Swifts, so as to render them impassable, and bearing upon its surface large trees and masses of hay which told its ravages. The Esk was in the same condition, as was also the Irthing, the Lyne, the Caldew, and the Petteril, and although we have not been able to learn the particulars of all the accidents which occurred, enough has transpired to leave the extent of the damage beyond all question. In the neighbourhood of Brampton a great deal of hay was flooded and several sheep were destroyed; but the most serious evil we have heard of there was the destruction of Cambeck-bridge, near Walton House, which, we understand, was completely carried away. All along the Irthing the presence of the flood was also fearfully palpable, by which it is feared that many sheep were washed away. The Esk has also made fearful ravages, assisted by the Liddle and the Lyne. As far up as Cannobie we have heard that rumours prevail of lives lost, as Langholm races took place cn Wednes day, and several of the small bridges were swept away, but throughout the whole course of the river the damage is per ceptible. Indeed the oldest inhabitants do not recollect when the flood was more serious. Mr. James Beaty, of Riddings, on the banks of the Liddle above Netherby, has lost 51 sheep and five stirks on the occasion, besides having his crop completely inundated. Mr. Church, of Parkhouse, Can noble, is also reported to have lost many cattle and sheep. Mr. Wright, who farms the Speard, near Longtown, has lost 12 or 13 sheep, and his crops are said to be literally covered with wreck and sludge. Mr. Tweddle, of Longtown, cooper, had his saw mill, sheds, sluice, and dam, with the wooden troughs which conveyed the water from the dam to the saw mill, carried away, and it is supposed that great damage has also been done to the property on the opposite side of Longtown Beck. The Lyne was also swollen to a grievous extent, and owing to the bursting of the embank ment near Bush-on-Lvne, the farms of Randlinton, Parcels town, Hornick-hill, • Bumfoot, and Stone, were greatly inundated. But here the loss of cattle and sheep was happily limited, although it was actually found neces sary to use boats to save the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, who, with their servants, were diiven for refuge to the top of the house until that assistance arrived from Longtown and Justustown. Lower down, however, we regret to state, the embankments at Purdom's Crook gave way, and the whole of the farm occupied there by Mr. Richard Ferguson was seriously flooded. The whole - stock was at one time in danger, but by the most strenuous ex ertions the greater part was saved—although we have to re cord that not less than 100 sheep, and, it is reported, two or three horses, are lost. We understand also that the flood in this district was so great that the Edinburgh mail had to go round by Astonby before it could proceed on its journey. The flood in the Caldew was aleo most alarming, more se rious, indeed, than it had been recollected since 1809. Several bridges and embankments have given way ender the immense pressure, and whole crops of hay were swept down the de structive stream to the great damage of the farmers. The wood bridge at Dalton was completely destroyed, and the contiguous embankment carried away. Fortunately no cat • tle were destroyed here. Several cows, however, swain down the river, but they were saved near Dalston. We have been informed that the whole of the hay on Cardew Mires has been laid under water, and that a part of the railway near Crofton Bridge has been injured, and at this point the coal train passing about 6 o'clock yesterday morning was thrown off in consequence ; but no person was injured, and in the course of the day the damage was repaired. The injury wn the Caldew and its tributaries has not been fully ascertained, but it is stated that along Cummersdale a great deal of mischief has been done; several small bridges broken down, including the re mains of the railway bridge, of which we recently noticed the fall, and it was at one time surmised that the Corporation - bay was in great danger. In Shtzthiongate and Caldewgate the flood so prevailed that, excepting in carts, a passage was impossible, and the workpeople of the Messrs. Dixon could not reach their works without the conveyance of waggons ; but fortunately in Carlisle itself very little inconvenience was experienced. Wigton was also exposed to all the rigour 1 of the tempest; there the thunder prevailed to the seine alarming extent as at Carlisle. A great deal of meadow hay was swept away by the flooding of the rivers, and otle r da mage done, but of this we have not heard the details. A correspondent from that town assures us that the barometer, which was high at the commencement of the storm, did not fall in the least during its continuance, and this, with the great quantity . of rain that fell previously, were rather un usual features in the storm. MR. IVAGEIOR'N. THP NATIONAL SCHOOLS. One of the most dreadful floods that ever occurred in the principality took place on Thursday, at Talsarn, and in the neighbourhood of Aberayron, Cardiganshire. For two or three days previously to Thursday heavy thunder-clouds had burdened the lurid atmosphere and ob scured the sun with almost murky darkness, but no rain fell until the morning of that day, and then only on the hill- tops in the neighbourhood. At about twelve o'clock, however, the long pent-up moun tain-torrents broke their bounds, and lashing themselves into fury as they rapidly descended into the valleys, became at length resistless in their force. The Tivy burst its banks, and flooded the highway leading from Lampeter to Abervst with for many miles, doing immense damage to the roads, in some parts of which gaps ten feet in width were caused by the excited torrent. But the heaviest visitation of this tempestuous deluge took place at Talsarn. The river here, which had previously been comparatively tranquil, and is at no time of any great width or depth, rose at about twelve o'clock like a vast wall, and, dashing onward in its headlong course, swept away no less than twenty-five houses in the village, with all their contents. The consternation of the inhabitants at this fearful de struction of their property may be better imagined than de scribed. Of the whale twenty-five dwellings scarcely one stone remained upon another, while the furniture of the in mates was, in many instances, never seen after, or if seen it was, when found, broken into numberless pieces, and irre coverably ruined. But the most awful part of the tale remains to be told. Not only property became the prey of the remorseless de stroyer, but even life did not escape. Dr. Rogers, of Aber meirig. a gentleman of property and highly respected in the neighbourhood (being also a county magistrate), was pro ceeding along the highway leading from Talsarn to Aberyst with, accompanied by his servant, both being on horseback. Suddenly the vast flood swept across the road, and in an in stant both human beings and quadrupeds were snatched from existence, the sudden deluge paralysing all efforts at escape, and suffocating and destroying its victims. The inhabitants of Talsarn, already horror-stricken at the calamity that had befallen themselves, found all their sym pathies aroused anew when the dead bodies of Dr. Rogersand his unfortunate servant were whirled through their village by the infuriated stream. The lifeless carcases of the horses following their rider's remains completed the dismal realities of this awful scene. After the violence of the storm had in some measure abated, the devastation that was perceivable was truly lamentable. Numbers of families had been rendered houseless, and in con sequence of the loss of their furniture utterly ruined, while the swollen and mangled body of Dr. Rogers bore melan choly evidence of the fatality of the event. Within the memory of man no such flood has ever occurred in the Vale of Ayron: Lower down the river, at Llandissil, several women were peacefully engaged in washing clothes by the side of the ivy, when th e same wall-l i ke d e l uge o f wa t er suddenly came w upon them and swept away every vestige of clothing, together with all the tubs and ashi utensils. The tem pest then pursued its courseon a w t onward to the sea. h m e o l s o t s p s a a r t t 'r is al i sa rr r e n m i: d e la s u ti l m e, sine cteitthabeo.junthalb,oiotaonl.t,s the l i p ia oo ve rer n9 cl t ass. yet subsided, and the p h ri f n o - r cip T a h ll e y fl o e f e t d h s e Rogers 's servant has not been recovered, nor have the bodies of the horses been found. In addition to the damage done at Talsarn, there are no less than four bridges between Aberayron and Aberystwith that have been utterly demolished by the flood. One of them was a strong, new bridge, having only been erected about three years. It is needless to add that the crops in the fertile Vale of Ayron have suffered severely, the amount of injury Me tained being incalculable, while the sides of the stream are s t re wn with the carcases of sheep, horses, and cattle, almost innumerable. Scarcely a farmer for miles around has escaped this dreadful catastrophe, which has caused so much and such disastrous consequences. M AR RIAgE Iw Limn LIFE.-- On Monday the marriage of Viscount Seaham, son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, and Miss Mary Cornelia Edwards, only daughter and heiress of Sir John Edwards, Bart., of Machyn lleth, Montgomeryshire, was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. A very numerous circle of the friends of both familes were present on the interesting cere mony. The Bishop of Durham performed the ceremony in a de-ply impressive manner. The bride was given away by her father, Sir John Edwards. The bride and bridegroom left for Sir John Edwards's residence In Portman-square, where Sir John and Lady Edwards gave a splendid enter tainment to celebrate the auspicious event 0 UNCIL, dispatoh of btQi- Mr. LOTT moved that the Court do agree with the Coal, Corr., and Finance Committee, which - recom- - mended that the sum of 200 guineas be granted in aid of Mr. Waghorn for his extraordinary exertions in ac• complishing a rapid communication between India and this country. The mover said that on the last day of the meeting of the Court, some doubt was expressed on the subject of the grant made by the East India Com pany to that gentleman. In order to remove any ques• tion as to that fact, he had furnished himself with the original letter, in which the last donation of 3001. to that gentleman from that establishment was mentioned as having been granted. He should not trouble the Court with any observation upon a subject with which the public were so well acquainted, as the merits and enter prising genius of that gentleman who had distinguished himself so much for the honour and advantage of his country, and, indeed, for the benefit of mankind in general—(Hear)—but move that the report be agreed to. Mr. 'HoLT seconded the motion. Mr. ANDERTON most readily admitted the talents, and zeal, and services of Mr. Waghorn, but he con sidered that the business in which Mr. Waghorn had been occupied was a commercial speculation, which the Court would not be justified in rewarding at a large ex pense to the Corportion at a time when there was such large demands upon the funds. Looking at what the great establishments of the country had contributed to the testimonial, he thought the sum of one hundred guineas was a; large as the Court could think of voting. Mr. Anderton coneludr d by moving an amendment that the smaller sum be substituted. • Mr. W. LAWRENCE seconded the amendment. He thought it would not be very creditable to the Corpora tion to vote more to the Waghorn than to the Rowland Hill Testimonial, and to him they had given no more than one hundred guineas, although the citizens of Lon don and the inhabitants of the whole kingdom had been more benefited by the labours of Mr. Hill than by those of any other gentleman. Mr. R. TAYLOR said he intended to vote for the larger sum. He did not like, in consideiing such a 'subject, to enter into any comparisons. He looked upon the ser vices rendered by Mr. Waghorn as services rendered to the great cause of humanity, and such as would be felt for age , ' all over the globe—(Hean) Mr. Jury was of opinion that the amount should be the same in each of the cases described and compared. ocvan. A MEMBER said it seemed not to be taken into ac count by those who were of opinion that the committee recommended too much, that Mr. Waghorn had not only expended two or three fortunes in the endeavour to ac complish his magnificent object, but that he also risked his life.---(Hear.) The apathy of other persons ought not to have the slightest influence upon the Court; and he should be ashamed of himself if, after the recommen dation of the committee, he voted with a niggard hand. Mr. NORRIS approved of the amendment. The Court did not mean to testify their sense of the merit of the individual by the amount voted in aid of the testimonial. They had a variety of ways of evincing their admiration. He instanced the bust of the venerable Clarkson as a proof of one of the varieties.—(Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE said the case was not a matter of charity, 'but of honour. The smaller sum adeq uatel y expressed . the feeling. The East India Company also received the greatest advantage from the enterprising genius of Mr. Waghorn, and would no doubt properly remunerate him for the services rendered. If they did not, no doubt the Corporation would not refuse to enter • rain a future application. Mr. DE JERSEY said there was no analogy between the case of Mr. Rowland Hill and that of Mr. Waghorn. The former gentleman had neither spent a fortune nor risked his life in endeavout ing to obtain his object. The world knew what Mr. Waghorn had undergone in his efforts to benefit mankind.—(Elear, hear.) Mr. T. H. HALL advised the Court to check the taste for prodigality which appeared to be springing up amongst them. Mr. BENNOCH thought the slim of 100 guineas was a liberal sum for the Ccurt to vote. If the Corporation, however, coud afford 1,0001., he should not have any ob jection to propose it, but :he claims upon them were every day accumulating. Alderman Moort said he could not but consider the course the Court appeared to be disposed to take to be a very ungracious one. They were bound to support the recommendation of their committee, and if the Livery were called upon, no doubt that body would double the amount at least.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Low was resolved to vote for the amendment on amount of the numerous demands upon the Corporation. The amendment was then put and declared to be carried. In the next - case, which was a petition from certain persons of rank, Mr. WIRE requested that the Court wouli dispense with the attendance of the petitioners. Amongst the names of them were those of some noblemen. Sir PETER LAURIE said he couli by no means consent to give such indulgence, particularly as persons in such a station of life knew less of the matters to which they subscribed their names than any other persons. The Court refused to excuse the attendance of their Lordships. _ _ The Chairman of the Coal, Coin, and Finance Com mittee brought up the report of the committee to which the petition in aid of the National Schools was referred. It recommended that the sum of 1,0001. should be granted towards the erection of six new school-houses. Mr. R. L. JONES said he was sure the Court would upon the present occasion maintain the high character it had acquired for rendering all the assistance they could give for the promotion of the education of the poorer classess. For thirty-three years the institution had been caried on with zeal and energy, and had succeded in betowiez instruction upon multitudes. As to the ad mission of children there was no distinction in a religious point of view. The children of all denominations were received, and there was to be found no sectarian divi sions in the system upon which the principles of educa tion were inculcated.—(Hear, hear.) The Court had some time ago granted a sum as large as that at present recommended by the committee, in aid of the erection of ten churches, and the committee were unanimous in agreeing to the report which was just submitted. Deputy CORNEY seconded the motion. Mr. HooLE said 1,0001. was a very large sum for the Court to vote.—(Hear.) He did not see how the extra vagance of a vote in one instance could justify the ex travagance of a vote in' another. (in the contrary, it ought to operate as a warning and a lesson. He con sidered that the grant of 100/. to each of the six new school-houses when they should be completed would be quite sufficient.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. EDHINS was for the grant of the larger sum. The Corporation had exercised great liberality towards the institution of the British and Foreign Schools, for the general education, and he could not see why there should be any check in the vote for the assistance of an establishment which applied particularly to the city of London. Mr. W. LAWRENCE said the British and Foreign Schools extended over all England, while the National Schools were limited to a district. He expected that a general change of an important kind would take place before long in this country.—(Hear, hear.) He con sidered the grant of 1,0001. towards the erection of the ten churches in Spitaltields exceedingly objectionable indeed. That ought to influence them in the disposal of the Corporation money. He believed that in the next session of Parliament the question of education would assume a very altered shape, and be much better adapted to the circumstances of the times. More infidels, he believed, were made by turning the Bible into a class book and a task book than by any other course. — (Cries of " Hear, hear," and "No, no.") Mr. LOTT hoped the Bible would be taught in schools as well as elsewhere. Mr. ANDERTON said the expenditure of money on charities by the Corporation was enormous. Alderman Glass said the National Schools had a stronger claim upon the Corporation, inasmuch as they, in a particular manner, benefited the poor children of the city of London. Mr. PRENDERGAST expressed Si doubt as to the wisdom of some of the grants made by the Corporation. For instance, he did not consider it wise to vote 5001. to a poor man to go out to the South Seas to be eaten alive.— (Hear, hear, and strong expressions of dissent.) Mr. BENNOCH considered the allusion just made an outrage to humanity, and that it ought to be treated with the indignation of the Court. The man who had lost his life, in his anxiety to do good, was a person of the highest integrity and complete fearlessness of nature. Mr. PRENDERGAST said he had no doubt of the good qualities of the individual, but those good qualities did not prevent the savages he was sent to instruct from eating him, and that ceremony they certainly did per form.—(Laughter.) Now he could not see why the Court of Common Council should send out a man to a savage country to be devoured. Mr. R. TAYLOR defended Mr. Prendergast from the imputation of being desirous to do wrong to the character of the excellent missionary whcse calamity all deplored. The speech jest delivered by Mr. Bennoch might do for Exeter Hall, but would not answer that Court, as ap plied to a gentleman who disputed the wisdom of voti ng money upon a point of religious quixotism.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the grant of lOU to each of the six schools would be quite sufficient. Mr. NORRIS would prefer a grant of 1501. for each school. Mr. AsittrnsT said he remembered that a petition was sent into the Court recently from the clergyman of the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, praying that the Court would not grant any money for the education of the a s n h o f poor, except that education was to be under the control of the clergy. There was a pleasing contrast supplied in the application for aid in the present case, ali sec ueeidlinvgot b e eti for n g expresslythe m recommendedlle c"d— mince. The Court then determined to pay the 1,0001. in aid of the schools, when they should be respectively co vered in. THE ELIZIBETH FRY REFUGE. The report of the committee recommended the grant of 5001 in aid of the Elizabeth Fry Refuge for affording relief to penitent females discharged from prison in a state of destitution. _ _ . Mr. LAWRENCE objected to the recommendati, I). There were, he said, several institutions of the kind which proved to be great failures, and it would be found that the present one would be as great a failure as any of those of a more ancient date. Ha had the highest re• spect for Mrs. Fry's character, but she and the ladies who assisted her were constantly imposed upon by the clever pretenders to piety, who had early imbibed the principles of hypocrisy, and acted upon them to per ►eetion. He moved the previous question. Mr. TOWBE seconded the amendment. Alderman SIDNEY said the committee had unani mously adopted the report, and he hoped it would be carried in the Court. The association had exi*el for several years, and had done immense good. Seveb hun dred females were relieved annually through the exertions of the ladies who constituted the philauthropic body, and the adoption of the system was most ad visable, for economical as well as ter other reasons, in asmuch as the tretropolis was saved a large amount of exptnses which would have been incurred by the addi tional tiials arising from the repetition of offences, if it were not for the charitable interposition of those of whom Mrs. Fry had been so long the head.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. TAYLOR passed a warm eulogium upon the character of Mrs. Fry, and advocated the report of the Committee. Mr. ASHtTRST wished the Court to consider the sex _of the parties they wished to serve. He had officially wit nessed the extreme misery into which poor women had fallen, and from which they had been raised by means of the ladies who so deeply interested themselves for the services of the unfortunate creatures. The guilt of the offending parties was in a great measure attributable to society, for their poverty and ignorance were the crime of that society.—(Hear, hear.)_ Until Government should produce some large measure of relief, it was the duty of the Corporation to pity and relieve the distress which exhibited itself in tuch painful forms.—(Hear, hear.) He should vote for the report. Mr. ANDERTON said it was doubtful whether there would he any policy in taking up a question which the Government alone could be thought capable of grasping The good which could be effected by the Corporation without such aid would be like a drop of water in the Alderman WOOD said there was considerable difficulty I with reference to the principle of the institution. There ' were infinite cases of necessity, which made it quite ap parent that there should be some institution for the re lief and assistance of destitute females. A private insti tution, it seemed to him, wanted the necessary control. To some it might be successfully used as a means of restoration to society, but there would be many, he ap prehended, who would seek it as a means of mere sup port, and make it a constant scene of disorder.—(Hear, hear.) He considered it to be the duty of all who bad opportunities of witnessing the effect of crime to speak their minds freely upon the subject of prison discipline. Government ought to take in hand the great question ; and how was Government to be compelled to take it in hand? By the energy of the people in taking the lead, and showing the Government what they ought to do. —(Hear, hear.) An evidence of what he meant was to be seen in the existing operation of the poor-law. If that law were properly 'carried out by the people, there would. necessarily be an asylum for the unfortunate females who had such un questionable claims upon public compassion. At pre sent a person in distress was hunted like a wild beast.— (Hear, hear.) In such a state of things something ought to be done by the public. Here was a plan a hich appeared to be founded upon common sense and com mon humanity. Let it be tried, and let the Govern ment know what the effect proved to be. Of Mrs. Fry's virtues, zeal, and piety nobody could speak too highly. She had made a commencement : would not the Court, who knew her great qualities, follow the example 7 (Hear.) There was attached to Bethlehem Hospital an asylum which, in his opinion, presented an instance of mostjudicious discipline. The inmates were kept in con-, stant employment, and still those who had the liberty to go begged leave to stay. The success of that institution was an additional reason for trying the experiment, the merits of which they were discussing.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. 11. HALL 'mid, he could not help saving that some check must be given to the disposition of the Cor poration to dip their fingers deeply in the public purse. He hoped the amendment would be adopted. Mr. Cam hoped the original motion would be carried. Mr. WILLIAMS feared the institution projected would not meet the wants and necessities of the case. Ile heard that it was the intention to give the females accommodatirn for no more than a• few hours.—(Cries of " No, no.") Mr. PENUT.RGAST said, the institution appeared to him to be cd,culisted to do both good and harm. There was no doubt at all as to the fact that some honest people obtained relief by managing to get into prison. Mr. WIRE, in a long and able speech, supported the report.. The darkest day a poor girl now saw was not the by in which she was taken to prison, but the day on which she left it ; for her departure was without the ho• d e of bread, or the chance of sympathy. The previous questions was then put and lost, and finally, the grant of 200 guineas was carried, and alter the trametion of some less important husinesa, the Court adjourned at a late hour. in Vrest.

EVANS AND OTHERS. . _ The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the decree of Sir Edward Sugden, the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, occupied their Lordships the whole day. The case has already taken up several days in argument, and appears likely to last a day or two more. SHERIFFS' COURT. Augua 4, (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) PARKER V. srELLEn. This was an action brought to recover the sum of ill. Oa. Gd., for work done by the plaintiff as a surveyor. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant had entered into a contract to build a crescent at Westbourne-green, and the alaintiff was engaged to draw out the plans, but it was alleged that Mr. Wood, who was the owner of the land, bad promised to make a present of the plans, but after some time, defendant finding himself unable to carry out the speculation, he forfeited 200/, . and gave it up, and he now denied having employed the plaintiff. Mr. Woad, however, rsitiv.tly swore that he introduced the parties, and after the action was brought he told defendant that he thought him very foolish to go on, as his (witness's) evidence would put him out of Court, and defendant replied that he had told his attorney to stop the proceedings; but they said the greater part of the costs had been incurred, and they would go on on their own responsibility. The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that if they believed Mr. Wood the case was clearly made out. The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE HOME CIRCUIT, Guildford, Tuesday, Aug. 4. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. lustice_CoLTNAN.) Mary Anne AuNtin, 22, was indicted for a misde meanor, in unlawfully concealing the birth of a child. It appeared that the prisoner was found by a constable sitting by the roadside at Wandsworth, crying, and in great distress, and he took her to the Wandsworth Union Workhouse, where, upon her being questioned, she admitted that the had been delivered cf a child at Croydon, and that slie bad busied it to avoid discovery. The infant, it appeared, as still-born. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and she was sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Elizabeth Wiggins was charged upon the coroner's inquisition with the murder of her female illegitimate child, on the 12th July, at Lambeth. Mr. Locke defended the prisoner. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the prisoner was in service in the establishment of a perosn named Bond, and about the period in question a suspicion was appea appear entertained that thatshe wassh she eventually i n the family way, and it would it delivered of the child in question in the water closet , but Was never seen alive, and the mother and the dead body of the infant were sent to Lambeth Workhouse, where the medical officer examined the latter, and from the appearances it exhi bit. d, he expressed an (pinion that it had been born alive. The evidence, however, upon the point was very incon clusive. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of concealing the birth, and she was also sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment. Salomon Aiglitingale was brought up to receive judg ment upon an indictment on which he had been com mitted on the previous day. The prisoner, who is an elderly man, held a farm at Crowley, and for some time he had bern annoyed by several young men residing in the village, coming to his house and annoying him by making a noise and insult ing him in a variety of ways. He had repeatedly re quested them to desist, but it had not ffect; and on the day in question it seemed that, having a gun in his hand, and being very much exasperated by the c induct of the parties, he discharged it at them, and slightly wounded a young man named Laneway, and one or two others. -....,._. Thejury found the prisoner guilty of a common as sault, and at the same time strongly recommended him to the merciful consideration of the Court, on account of the provocation he had received. Mr. Justice Courmax, in passing sentence, said that there was no doubt the prisoner bad been a good deal provoked, but that did not justify him in using a deadly weapon in the manner he had done ; and, taking into consideration all the circumstances, he felt it his duty to pass upon him the sentence of four months' impri sonment. Mr. Justice Coltman got through the criminal cases about two o'clock, and he then commenced disposing of the civil business. The first cause taken in this Court was No. 60, and he will go on with the common jury cases in their order to the end of the list. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. . _ VA • • - A young man, Pone of whose names is John Fitz simmons, was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon a charge of having robbed the Right Hon. John Johnson. the Lord Mayor of London, of a watch and appendages, value 60 guineas. Mr. nobler attended for the prisoner. The Lord Mayor stat. d that on Monday evening he came to the City terminus from Blackwell by the rail road, in the ten o'clock train, and was waiting with some friends who accompanied him, for a conveyance to the Mansion-house. He was hustled by several persons, amongst whom was the prisoner, and one of the number, who was shorter in size than the prisoner, snatched his watch, chain, seal, and key and then ran off. There was no poiceman on the spot. but soon after the robbery was committed, a policeman made his appearance, and teed( the prisoner, who said he came from Gravesend, into custody. In answ, r to a qucstion from Mr. B o bler, his Lord ship said be felt his watch go from him as the prisom.r pass,-d. [le valued the watch, because when he became of age his lather presented him with it. He was waiting at the me ps at the time for his carriage. Mr. John Wood, o f 'F a lcon-street, sta ted that be was standing close t o th e L or d Mayor at the time, and he saw the pris o n er an d a s h or t e r man in front of his Lordship, and four or fi ve others about the s p ot. He did not know th a t t h e L or d Mayor ha d been robbed until he heard his Lordship call for the police, and say that he was robbed. Mr. Hobler—Did the prisoner attempt to run away ? Witness—l did cot see that he did- AltlertnariGines—Vd he appear to you to be acting in coneert-with the other man ? Witness—Certainly. I should say they were decidedly acting in concert to gether. Mr. Hobler—What did the prisoner say upon being uecused ? Witness—He denied that there was any foundation for the charge. The Eisoner—l should like to hear the evidence againA me. Mr. Hoblcr.—Prisoner be quiet, and hear the evi- der ee. Evan Williams, porter at the railway terminus in London-street, said that he saw a shorter man than the prisoner run down the steps quickly. Alderman GIDES.—How did it happen that there was no policeman at the terminus ? Inspector Woodroffe said the terminus was under the superintendence of the K division of the Metropolitan police, and the City police had never had anything to do with that district. The prisoner proved to be the man whoni, some months ago, Daniel Forrester apprehended at Master man's barking-house, suspecting that he was lurking about the place for the purpose of committing a robbery. Upon the prisoner's person were found a white silk handkerchief, with a broad puce border, which he seemed very anxious to get back from the officer, and a shilling. - It was stated in the justice-room that within the last few days bank-notes and gold to the amount-of upwards of 3,0001. have been stolen in the neighbourhood of the M. , nsion- house. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. Alderman Gibbs was for some time occupied in hear ing a case which was listened to with more than ordinary Matthew Shrimpton, who was stated to be a respectable tradesman in extensive business, and Henry Williams, %III() has been some time known to the police as the com panion of thieves, were brought up in custody of George Trew. City policeman, No. 26, charged with having robbed Mr. Townley, surveyor of Bexley Heath, Kent, of a pocket-book, containing a cheque for 51. and other pnpers. A great many of the friends of the first prisoner were present flarirg the investigation. Mr. Townley said that about three o'clock in the aft( rnoon of Saturday he lost his pocket-book at the corner of Fenchurch-street. The witness here identified the book. Trew (policeman 26) stated that about 20 minutes rast three o'clock on Saturday, as he was on duty in Cheapside ' in plain clothes, he saw the two prisoners following Mr. Townley. They stopped behind Mr. Townley for a minute in the Poultry, and then they fol lowed him down King William-street to the corner of Arthur-street, where the last witness stood still two or three minutes, and the prisoners remained behind him. Mr. Townley then went on to Gracechurch-street, the prisoners still following him. At last, when Mr. Townley stopped to look at a window, witness saw Shrimpton go up to him, covered by Williams, and pass something to Williams, which Williams put into his breast pocket. Witness then seized both prisoners, pushed them into a shop, put his hand between Williams's coat and waist coat, and withdrew from thence the pocket-book, which was at once identified by Mr. Townley as his property. Mr. Wontner, who appeared for Shrimpton, stated that his client was a man of most excellent character, wholly incapable of an act of dishonesty under any circum stance', and that there were numbers of persons present anxious to testify to his respectability. The prisoner Shrimpton declared, as ho had upon his first examination on Monday, that he was completely guiltless ; that he was wholly ignorant of any robbery, and that his circumstances in life, as well as everything about his character, would show that he was incapable of anything of the kind. Several tradesmen here cried out from d.fferent parts of the police court, that Mr. Shrimpton was a master tradesman, known from his infancy to be a man of un doubted integrity. They said they also knew him to be a man of considerable property. Alderman Gibbs having questioned many of the wit nesses who thus presented themselves, and ascertained that the opinion entertained of Shrimpton was most ex cellent, asked the policeman whether he still believed that he could have made no mistake as to the person of Shrimpton. Trew replied that he had no doubt at all upon the matter. He had noticed for a considerable time the dress, as well as the face of the man. Mr. Wontner asked whether the officer had not heard a good character of Shrimpton, upon making minute in quiries about him 2 Trew replied that there was no doubt of the good character of Shrimpton, and some of the inspectors and other officers of the police bore testi mony to the respectability of the tradesmen, who came forward to state that they had the utmost reliance upon the honesty of the accused tradesman. Mr. Wontner asked whether Williams, the other pri soner, had not declared that Shrimpton bad nothing to do with, and knew nothing of, the robbery ? Trew re plied that such was certainly the case. but that was not mentioned until the prisoners were taken to the station house. Williams then said that he was himself guilty of receiving the pocket-book, but that the other man knew nothing about it. Mr. Wontner—Did not Shrimpton, the moment you accused him, state his name and address, and tell you that he was a wheelwright, and a man in most respect able business ? Trew—He did. Alderman Grans—And do you persist in stating that he was the man who handed the pocket-book, to Williams ? Trew—l do. I have no doubt of it. Mr. Wontner—Was not a cab or a cart passing while you were on- the opposite side of the way, that might have prevented you from seeing the persons for a moment ? Trew—There was a cab or a cart passing, but I kept my eye upon them. Mr. Wontner sulanitted that it was a case of mis taken identity. It was evident from the manner in which the robbery had been committed, that the person who stole the pocket-book was a dexterious thief. Now here was a tradesman of unquestionable character and property charged with having committed a robbery in which skill and boldness was indispensable. It was quite evident that the officer had made a mistake. Alderman GIBBS said he was bound to submit the case to a jury. The officer had had great opportunities of marking the person of Shrimpton, having followed him for a considerable time, and noticed not only his face but his dress. Trew said he had omitted to mention that Shrimpton said to C-e inspector that he was going, at the time he was apprehended, to Woolwich, to a Mr. Saunders for money, and that was found to . he without foundation. Shrimpton— I was questioned in such a manner that I did not know what I said at last, I was in such a state of confusion ; but I am as innocent as your Lordship is. The prisoners were then both committed for trial. BOW-STREET. Michael Dempsey, an Irishman, was charged by police sergeant Matthews, F 10, with being drunk and disorderly in Holborn. The sergeant stated that he found the prisoner drunk on his beat in Holborn, and proceeded to take him into custody. The prisoner resisted violently, but with the assistance of another constable he took him to the sta , ion. The prisoner said he could bring 'conclusive evidence to show that he "didn't assault or insult the policeman at all, at all," but that the latter attacked him most unwarrantably, and that he did not make any resistance. The witness who was to give this "conclusive evidence" then came forward, and said that he saw the prisoner and his wife fighting a day or two ago, and that he thought the wife was altogether in the wrong. Mr. JARDINE—But what do you know about what occurred on Monday night ? Witness—On Monday night, is it, sir ? Faith, I know nothing at all about it, sir,: not the laste! But I was present when the row was with him and his wife. The inspector here explained to the magistrate that there was a warrant against the prisoner for an assault on his wife, and that it was in reference to this statement the wit ness was prepared to give evidence. Mr. JARDINE—Your conclusive evidence does not much avail you. However, as this is your first offence, and the assault is not a very serious one, I will discharge you this time; if you do anything of the same kind again I will fine you. The prisoner's wife then appeared in Court and withdrew the warrant, on his paying the costs, and promising "not to whop her any more." GUILDHALL. , Mr. Wild. the keeper of a slaughter-house in Fox and Knot-yard, Smithfield, was summoned for conducting his business so as to become a nuisance dangerous to the health of the public. Inspector Scott, of the City police, stated that his atten tion was called to the nuisance by the inhabitants of King street and Fox and Knot .yard, and on going to the spot about eleven o'clock that forenoon, with Dr. Lynch, he found that eight or nine cows, in a state of putrefaction, had been brought to the premises, and two were lying in the court. The stench arising from the bodies was most power ful and disgusting, and Dr. Lynch said it was sufficient of itself to create a fever in the neighbourhood. While he was applying to the magistrate for the summonses Mr. Wild seemed to have got rid of the nuisance. Sir PETER LAURIE asked Mr. Wild if he could give any ex planation on the subject? Mr. Wild said he could. This was a slaughter house of long standing. The eight cows had been suffocated by over crowding in the hold of a steam-boat from Rotterdam, and as it was known that he was extensively employed in re moving live animals from the docks, and that he had the proper carts, he was asked to take these cows, remove their hides, and deliver their bodies to Mr. Cohen, of Shadwell. Sir PETER LAURIE asked for what purpose Mr. Cohen used them ? Mr. Wild supposed it was to moke soup, and get the bones, or some such purpose. He gave 1/. each for them. The animals were not diseased, but died of suffocation. Sir PETER LAURIE asked if this had not happened before? Mr. Wild said twice before. Once he had a lot of seven, and the other five, which died on their passage from Hatnburgh. This occurred three months ago. Sir PETER LAURIE said the alarm and danger to the neighbourhood seemed to have been considerable, and might have been easily avoided. The putrid carcases might t ba a 7 been skinned without bringing them in to the City and if Mr. Wild did not lAiencgoenioduilvddioi,es business, the provisions - Paving Act fur the removal of slaughter-houses won.- enforced. The power of doing this by notice was vested in the Commissioners of Sewers in the City, and Mr. Wild would have notice from them when to attend and answer the complaint of the inhabitants, several of whom he now saw in i d t e l r i e . i s l o h u o s u e l . d prefer leaving a l s ea g y l i a n d g t t h li e e mattereuisee nuisance r hadth e the room. promptly abated, and he diecharged the Mr. Wild said he would promise such a thing should never happen again. ebleo S esl i el r decision of the Commissioners of Sewers, who had power to t i s h:e l f l:l:a slaughter-house. 3 summons. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Matthew Math, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Cottam and Hallen, general ironmongers, Oxford-street, was charged Nvith having robbed his masters; andalso with having robbed Mr. Burton, of the late firm of Rippon and Burton, Oxford street, in whose service he had formerly been employed, of a large quantity of miscellaneous property. Police•sergeant Archer, G 8, said, from information he re ceived he proceeded to take the prisoner into custody, in Oxford-street, on Saturday evening, the 25th of July, as he was leaving his employers' shop. The prisoner threw away a fish-slice, which witness afterwards ascertained had b een taken from his masters' premises. Witn ess p rocee d e d to make inquiries, and ascertained that the pri soner h a d w i t hi n the la , t ten or twelve months displsed of a lar ge q uan tity o f Rritish plate and hardware goods to a g enera l d ea l er , name d Tytor, living in - Turnmill-street, Clerkenwell. Following up his inquiries, witness from various places obtained a consi derable quantity of new property, portions of which were identified as belonging to Messrs. Cottam and Mallen, and the remainder as the property of Mr. Burton. A fish-slice, knives, forks, spoons, and other articles, were fully identified, and the prisoner was committed to take his The next charge was that made by Mr. Burton. John Smart, foreman to Mr. Burton, said the prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. Rippon and Burton, furnishing ironmongers, Oxtord-street, for about eight or ten months up to last June. The prisoner left of his own accord, and there were no suspicions against his honesty. Witness had seen a large quantity of property which had been taken possession of by the police, and he had no hesitation in swearing that it was part of Mr. Burton's stock. The property consisted of dozens of British plate spoons, forks, sauce-ladles, some can- . , dlesticks, snuffers, trays, and other property. The property had not been missed from the premises. Indeed, the stock was so extensive, that if the stolen property had been twenty times as much it would not have been missed. Elizabeth Tylor, wife of 'William Tylor, general dealer, Turnmill •street, said she had often seen the prisoner come out of Messrs. Rippon and Burton's shop, and give her hus band packages of spoons and forks resembling those now produced. Her husband had been accustomed to have deal ings with the prisoner for a considerable period. A clerk and accountant, named Pocock, in whose posses sion much of the property had been found, said he knew Tylor from having purchased trifling articles at his shop. At the request of Tyler, who said he was in want of money, wit ness bought the property found by the police at his house. The prisoner was fully committed on the second case. THAMES. _ . Laura Sophia Rossiter, aged 14, the daughter of a hair dresser, whose brother is now awaiting his trial for highway robbery, was charged with stealing a book, a pewter milk pot,. and various other articles, from the dwelling-house of Charles Henry Wanger, a cow-keeper and dairyman, of No. 13, Beaumont-street, Mile-end. It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor's busi ness called him out at five o'clock every morning, and his wife also quitted her home two hours afterwards ' and left her dwelling for some time in charge of a little boy, only six years of age. The, prisoner, whose parents reside in Globe-road, became aware of the circumstance, and was in the practice of calling almost every morning in Beaumont street, tresting the boy with sweetmeats, and abstracting any portable article she could lay her hands on. Mr. Wanger had repeatedly missed things for the last five or six months, without being able to detect the thief, and one morning last week he missed several new laid eggs. On making inquiry, he ascertained from his child, that the pri soner had been there during the absence of the prosecutor and his wife. The girl, as usual, treated the boy with sweet things, and after she had abstracted the eggs, called upon a woman in the neighbourhood, and asked her to boil one for her breakfast. The woman complied with this request, and while she was boiling one of the eggs the prisoner stole a silk handkerchief, and quitted the house before the theft was discovered. Yesterday the prisoner was traced by. Smith, a police-constable, No. 220 K, who took her into custody, and a woman named Terry, residing in James's street, Limehouse-fields, identified her, and said she had purchased a pewter milk-pot, the inside of which was lined with glass, and the stopper of a decanter. The prisoner at first denied all knowledge of the woman, but afterwards admitted that she had stolen the articles from `Manger's house. The prisoner made no defence to the charge, and she was committed to Newgate for trial. Timothy liorrogan, a boiler-maker, aged 22, was charged with creating a disturbance in the Queen's Head Tavern, High-street, assaulting Mr. Finney, the landlord, and beating several policemen. It appeared in evidence, that on Saturday evening the prisoner and two other men came into the Queen's Head in an improper state, and called for some beer and liquor. Mr. Finney refused to supply them with any, and told them they had had enough. The prisoner and his companions then became very noisy and troublesome, declared they would not go until they were supplied with some liquor, and claimed it as a right. Mr.Finney still refused, • and advised Horragan and his companions to leave his house quietly. He then went into his parlour, and the prisoner followed and made a violent attack upon him, and after striking him several times, capsised a tray in which there was a quantity of pipes. Mr. Finney then sent for the aid of the police, and two constables came to his assistance and took the pri soner into custody. As soon as they had done so the pri• soner made a savage attack upon them, and was excited to do so by a mob of disorderly characters, 100 in number, who endeavoured to rescue the prisoner. He got away from one policeman, named Westfield, 329 K, and was stopped by another, coming in an opposite direction. Westfield caught hold of him again, and the prisoner struck him a dreadful blow on the nose, and caused him to bleed profusely. The mother of the prisoner then laid hold of the policeman's stock and nearly strangled him, while her son inflicted severe kicks on 'Westfield's legs and body. He likewise kicked Mitchell, 406 K, and fell back wards himself in raising his leg a second time to inflict another kick. The policeman closed upon him, and with the assistance of Aish, 334 K, who was also kicked violently on the chest, the prisoner was secured and conveyed to the station- house. Mitchell sustained very serious injuries, and has been ever since the outrage under the care of the divi sional surgeon of the police. The prisoner, in defence, said he could not recollect any thing of the occurrence. Mr. BRODEaIP said the complainant had very properly refused to do that which would put money in his pocket. Licensed victuallers were amenable to the law. and were punished if they did not keep good rule and order in their houses, but as long as they acted as Mr. Finney had done, they should be protected. It was also necessary to protect the police, when they did their duty firmly and temperately, against such outrages as these. This was a very bad case indeed, and he should inflict a severe punishment. For the assault on Mr. Finney the prisoner would pay a fine of 405., or be imprisoned for three weeks; for the assault on West field, three weeks' imprisonment ; a further imprisonment of three weeks for the assault on Mitchell; and three weeks more for the assault on Aish, making in all twelve weeks' confinement in the House of Correction.

(From The Sun of Last Nicr) The following additional particulars we ' re obtained yester day : THE ITALIAN Oritßa-HOusE.—Whilst the storm was raging, the hail fell with such violence upon the various sky lights on the roof, that nearly every square of glass was broken. Fortunately plenty of assistance was in the house, and the rain as it fell through was quickly baled away. The damage done is, therefore, not nearly so great as might have been etpected. Yesterday tarpaulings and canvass were placed over the broken windows to keep the rain and dust out. The Opera Colonnade, it will be remembered, was lighted by means of eighteen fancy circular lanterns, which contained in the whole many hundred squares of glass. Upon inspecting the Arcade yesterday, it was found that nearly every pane of glass was shivered to atoms. The va rious tradesmen of the place had also the whole of their sky lights demolished, and their shops covered with water. TEE REFORM CLUB-ffousE.—Throughout the whole of Sunday and yesterday, one of Mr. Merryweather's fire en gines was engaged pumping out the water which had entered this large building. Towards the latter part of the evenia; the men succeeded in getting the house free. 14 ole. toe the water was nearly ten feet deep.

The water rose several feet in Mr. Smith's wine shades on the basement, and did great mischief. THE ADELAIDE GALLERY.—NearIy the whole of the beau tiful stained gla , s windows on the roof of this establish ment, under which the daugerreotype portraits were taken by M. Claudet, are broken. The skylights in the other portions of the gallery are likewise demolished. The damage done to the adjoining property in the Lowther-arcade is very considerable. lIIINGERFORD-MARKET.—The damage done to the glass work in this market is most extensive. There is scarcely a whole pane left in any of the skylights. Nearly all the tradesmen in the lower market had their goads either washed away or greatly damaged, THE WESTERN EXCHANGE.—It is impossible to tell the exact damage done at this building. Besides the injury to the premises, the stall-holders had their fancy goods washed down, and in many instances the whole of the articles were spoiled. It is feared that the loss to the stall-holders alone will exceed 1,5001. THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE.—A number of men were employed the whole of yesterday and the preceding day in baling out the water that had accumulated in the Public-Re cord-office, Carlton side. From the great care that was taken in removing the records, it is believed that not one document has suffered more than from being completely saturated with water. _ T - 11 E 19% 16%1 7% 6% 240 Isg INS'Crt.AINICE C Name of Company.
