THE SALT MONOPOLY. The salt monopoly of India has been often noticed under this head as a subject of serious complaint in the local papers. The Serampore journal, the Friend of India, well known for the knowledge it displays of com merce and statistics, has particularly distinguished itself as an advocate for the admission of British salt, and the consequent abolition of the present monopoly, which con fines the population of India to the salt taken from the shores of the Red Sea and the Persian Gul£ 'Hitherto'', hare mentioned the monopoly as a matter of local complaint only, and the notice of the subject has been confined to occasions when the Ind ian papers have arrived. Now, however, the question has changed its character, and appears as one which is taken up with great warmth by the salt trade of this country. They are convinced of the fact that England can supply India with salt to an unlimited amount, to the great benefit of both countries, and they grow restless at the obstacle which the salt monopoly places in their way. The following resolutions, passed at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the white salt trade, held at Northwich on the 13th inst., will clearly show the state of feeling on the subject : " It being higly desirable for the interests of the salt trade of this country that the Indian mai kets (Mhos«• annaal consumption is at least 250,000 to 300,000 tons) should be fairly opened for the admission of British manufactured salt, which can be supplied of a far purer quality, and at much lower rates, than that produced under the East India Company system : " Resolved, that each salt manufacturer in Cheshire and Worcestershire be requested to use his personal interest, individually as well as collectively, to abolish a monopoly so injurious to the interests of the salt trade of England. " That, as the admission of British salt into India in timately affects not only the price, but also the supply of Bengal sugars, and is likewise of the greatest import ance to the shipowners and manufacturers of this country, it is advisable that a letter be drawn up and forwarded by the Chairman of the Salt Chamber of Commerce to the Chairman of the Shipowners' Association in London and Liverpool—the East India and China Association—the Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, and Glasgow Chambers of Commerce---re questing their aid and assistance, separately and col lectively, as well as that of the individual members of the various chambers and associations over which they preside, in order to abolish a monopoly so fraught with mischief to the manufacturing, shipping, and commercial interests of England, as well as so injurious to the moral, domestic, and political economy of the people of India ; and in order that an accurate knowledge may generally be diffused of the working and effects of the salt mono poly in India, 150 copies of Mr. D. C. Aylwin's Salt Pamphlet be forwarded to each of the above gentlemen, with a request that they will distribute them amongst such shipowners, manufacturers, sugar, refiners, and merchants, as they may deem most interested in the Indian trade, or most likely to take up and advocate this question. " That, as it is desirable the Board of Control should be petitioned prior to applying to Parliament for redress, a deputation from the salt proprietors of England shall as soon as possible be formed ; and that this Chamber be requested to place itself in communication with the chairman of the: Shipowners' Association in London and Liverpool—the East India and China Associations — the Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, and Glasgow Cham bers of Commerce, to ri_quest their active co operation in submitting to their various chambere and assoeia tions the prcpriety of uniting in one common body, to petition the Board of Control to abolish a monopoly which is equally prejudicial to the interests of all. " That circular letters, with the above resolutions at tached, be forwarded to each member of the salt trade, with a request that, with as little delay as possible, a list may be furnished to the Chamber of Commerce of such individuals to whom each member may wish a copy of Mr. Aylwin'a Salt Pamphlet to be forwarded. " That a general meeting of the salt trade of Eng land be calked for Monday, August 31, at the Angel Inn, Northwich, at one o'clock; and "That Mr. Aylwin be respectfully requested to attend such meeting. " W. WORTHINGTON, Chairman." It will be perceived that a pamphlet by Aylwin is mentioned as of peculiar importance. This is a quarto work, in which the information relative to the salt monopoly, and its effect on the most varied inte rests, has been collected with the greatest diligence, every fact which it contains being borne out by a reference to the most extensive tables. For the purpose of collecting this information, Mr. Aylwin went from England to Calcutta, and there from resi dent merchants obtained the great mass of material which he now lays before the commercial public. The pamphlet being of rather formidable dimensions, though excessively interesting to all who are prac tically concerned with the subject, Mr. Ayl win has added another, of smaller size, that exhibits at a glance the salient points of the case. As his object is to speed his views as widely as possible, this is a judicious proceed ing ; but, nevertheless, all who wish to make themselves acquainted with the question—and it is a very important one, with the most various bearings—should peruse the larger production in addition to the abridgment. In the first place, the question is treated as one of re venue, and here the principle is laid down that if the Government of India has not netted 3 rupees per maund (the duty on imported salt), the salt monopoly causes a loss to the Treasury. Now, it appears that the total amount of salt manufactured by the East India Company bent een the years 1793 4 and 1844-5 (including a corn paratively small amount imported) was not less than 237,347,544 =wilds, which, at 3 rupees per maund, would have yielded the Government a re-vs-Imp se 712,042,662 rupees, whereas the revenue actually realised does not exceed 606,268,!:80 rupees, thereby showing loss by manufacturing of no less than 105,774,382 rupees, or upwards of 10.500,0001. sterling. By a comparison of the state of the population at two different periods a new result is obtained, which bears greatly upon the philanthropic view of the question. From the year 181344 to the to the year 1844-e, the population has increased 50 per cent., whereas in the same time the amount of salt manufactured by the East India Company has only advanced at the rate of 6 per cent., although the consumption of imported articles has kept pace with the increased number of the people. In case this fact should not be sufficiently valued, from a notion that salt is not so absolutely necessary to the In dian population, it is as well to quote the opinion on this matter of the late Rammohun Roy : " As salt has by long habit become an absolute notes sary of life, the poorest peasants are ready to sur render everything . else in order to procure a small pro portion of this article, th.‘ugh the dearth of the salt is felt by the whole community ; and the people in general are therefore obliged to n ake use of a bad quality, and few, comparatively, are able to incur the expense of pro curing it in a purer form. "As the food of the people in Bengal consists chiefly of boiled rice, which is, by itself, a most insipid kind of food, salt, and the ingredients dressed with salt, are used to season the rice, and render it palatable. The rice is usually eaten with what the Hindoos call byunyun or turkaree, and the Mussulmans salun; that is, something such as a little fish, or dal (a kind of dressed pease), or vegetables, according to their abilities to procure th -se articles. But as they have been long accustomed to the use of salt, the high cost of this ingredient sometimes obliges the poor people to give up their byunyun or salun to procure it, and eat their rice with salt alone. " Salt being, as I already observed, an abeolu e neses sary of life, is now purchased, even by the poorest in dividuals, at the sacrifice of eery other kind of season ing and eatable but rice,' the staff of lite. If salt were rendered cheaper and better, it must greatly promote the common corn:orts of the people. Ido not know that it would immediately cause a very considerable increase of consumption, but, to a certain extent it would undoubt• edly; and, from its cheapness, its use may he again ex tended by the people in seasoning the food of cattle, for which purpose formerly large quantities were used. The poorer classes, at any rate, would not in this case be compelled to sacrifice any other comfort in order to procure it. " As I understand, the price of salt is here about one-fourth of what it is in India ; therefore there is no doubt that the natives of India would be very glad to purchase English salt, if impor ted, exc-pting, perhaps, a very few professional Brahmins. The bulk of the people would make no distinction between the salt which is home made and that which is imported. One-fourth (if not one-third) of the soda-water manufactured in Calcutta by Europeans is, I think, used by the natives residing in Calcutta and its suburbs, and also a conside-• rable portion of the liquors imported from Europe, " The adulteration of the salt is carried to an enor mous extent, by mixing it with one-third, or even one half of earth, until, instead of being like salt, it more resembles the earth of which it is partly composed. Per sons in comfortable circumstances generally purify it, by manufacturing it over again before they use it, or purchase it already refined, often at double the common price ; but the poorer classes cannot afford the expense of either." The fact is, the deficiency of salt is in some measure supplied by smuggling, for which the extensive frontier affords the greatest facilities. Still, however, setting aside the consideration that smuggling is invariably at tended with the most immoral consequences, the Indians appear to be most scantily supplied with this very neces sary article, and the indirect effect of the high price of salt, and the indigence of the people, is considered by Mr. Aylwin to be a cause of the decline in the exporta tion ougar s' To what is this remarkable decline to be attributed? Has the demand decreased? Is the profit on the pro duction lessened? Have fresh competitors arisen? Have new duties on exportation or importation been imposed in England or in India, to check the enterprise of the Bengal grower? Has the consuming population dimi nished? Or, in fact, has any rational cause ever been assigned to account for this mercantile phenomenon? I answer confidently and emphatically in the negative : none of the above-mentioned causes have arisen. India enjoys the same a dvanta g es that s h e did in 1840-41 ; but she is unhappily not in a condition to avail herself of them. She is not enabled to put forth and show her capabilities of production, while the industry and energy of her vast labouring population are paralysed, as they , now are, by the oppression and injustice of the salt mo nopoly. where are limits to the extent of human labour; *NI while that is strained to the uttermost to provide the MUDS of obtaining the bare essentials of existence, no margin :is left for the application of time, labour, and cs ia order to procure clothing, which by the poorer tialadaoa gryve to say, is now regarded as mere l y one of the luxuries of life." The shipping interest are also concerned in the ques tion. 4919 shown by the following extract from the short ••• pli paanllt:-- Of the wonderful advantage that will accrue to British shipping from such an increase in the export till& to India, it is impossible to form an estimate. A complete revolution, in fact, will be effected in the condi tion of the India shipowner now struggling with the serious and almost paralysioginfluenceof stem. Owing to THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31, 1846. the balance of the export trade being at present in favour of India, the average freight of dead weight from Calcutta to London, from 1840 to 1845 inclusive, has ben 41. 7s. 71d., and of light goods, 3/. 14s. 6id., while ship. ments from this country to the East, of metals and other goods, have been generally effected at from 15s. to 255., and sometimes even so low as 6s. per ton. Our ship o‘sners, indeed, have been glad to take what they could get for an outward cargo, trusting for profit entirely to the homeward voyage." Altogether, a subject of very wide importance appears to be opening to the commercial, and indeed to the general, public of this country.-7'iines' City Article. THE LATE DEATHS FROM POI- SONOUS BERRIES. John Hilliard, the man charged with vending the poi sonous berries which caused the death of Thomas Parker, and the child Jones, was again examined on the charge of manslaughter, at the Thames Police-court. Mrs. Parker repeated the testimony which she gave on her previous examinations, and proved that the pri soner pressed the fruit upon her by the strongest recym mendations as to its agreeable flavour, as well as its wholesome qtialities. He said he brought the berri+-s from a long distance, and that they were just then Irk ry scarce. In describing the effect which the poison pre duced, she said that soon after eating the berries her fingers tingled, and her knees gave way, so as that she fel: as if she was dropping down. Her tongue sweihd, her throat became dry, and she lost the power of utter, ante. She then became insensible, and was, as she un derstood, removed to the London Hospital ; but she re collected nothing more until she found herself in bed there the next morning. Her husband was there also, and died whilst she was with him. Mr. William Prophet, surgeon, Church-lane, White chapel, repeated the evidence hich has already been published, describing the various eff.xts which the action of the poison produced. George Birch, 105 B, apprehended the prisoner on the 20th instant at Strutton-ground, Westminster, He was selling blackberries at the time. Witness told him that he suspected him to the person who had sold poi sonous berries in Whitechapel. Witness took him to the station, where he denied all knowledge of the poi sonous berries, and said that he had not sold berries in Whitechapel, adding that he had heard of Whitechapel, but did nut know the way there. He further said that he had gathered and sold herbs and berries for the last twenty years, and ought therefore to know what was fruit and what was not. At Whitechapel he showed witness the way to the station, and admitted that he knew every turning about the place. John Williams, gas-titter, 2, Wellington-street, Black friars-road, and John Lambert, 24, Pear- tree street, Waterloo-road, proved having also bought some berries from the prisoner. When selling them he said they were beautiful fruit, and fit to make pies and puddings. They were both subsequently seriously affected eating them. Elizabeth Tappin, 5, tipper Somerford street, stated that on Saturday week the man came up with his black berries and what he called dewberries. A young man who lodged in the house came to the door and told the prisoner that the berries were poison, cautioning the witness not to buy them. He said to the prisoner, "Jr you are a countryman at all, you ought to knew that they are poison." He at the same time explained to the prisoner what they were, tied in what places they grew. prisoner said the' are ripe and sweet and fit to eat, but the lodger again contradicted him, saying, Yes, I know they are sweet, but they are rank poison." Wit ness declined purchasing them, and the prisoner went on still crying out " berries." Mr. Donegan, who had charge of the case, was pre pared with a host of supplementary evidence, but in the then stage of the case it was not deemed desirable to en cumber the inquiry with any extraneous matter. He was, however, directed to keep together all the substan tial evidence which he could collect, there being some doubt as to whether the prisoner should be committed en the charge of murder or manslaughter. '[he pri-ote r was ultimately remanded until next Saturday. The in quiry, which occupied five hours, excited the most in tense interest, and the court was crowded with persons anxious to hear the details of the evidence. RAILWAY RETURNS.

Payne, the deputy-coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of John Price, lately residing at No. 13, Lambeth-hill, Upper Thames street. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a coffee-roaster, and on the night of Monday last, while in the act of crossing the carriage-way, Cheapside, he mas knocked down by one of Messrs. Chaplin and Horr e's heavily laden waggens, and before the driver could stop the horses the near f,re wheel passed over his body. lie was raised up by the foot passengers, pLiced in a cab, and conveyed to the above hospital, where he (lied on Wednesday night from the effects of sevsr, injury to the lower part of the abdomen, compound commuted fracture of the right hand, andiPpture of the ,bladder and pelvis. The jury retnrrreterlierdict of "Accidental death." An inquest was held on Friday at the London Hos pital, by Mr. W. Baker, jun., touching the death of Thomas Silky, aged twenty-seven, a carman in the the employ of Mr. Sedger, cowkeeper, cf Rotherhithe. On Wednesday evening deceas( d was driving a waggon, drawn by time horses, and laden with an iron tank, from his master's house in Rotherithe to Bow-common, in Devonshire •street, Mile end-road; he attempted to get on the ah'fts, and in doing so, he fell under the wheels, his heat' being crushed in a frightful manner. Verdict—" Accidental death." THE FIRST or SEPTEMBER —Tuesday next will call our sp-rting friends to the field, and from all we learn there is a most satisfactory prospect for them—a promise of fair autumn weather, a clear country, and plenty of game. The spring being favourat le, the birds were hatched early, and, consequently, they are forward, wild, we are told, and strong on the wing; but the coveys are large, and as the sportsman will this year be nowhere impeded by the v het ting of scythes and the rumbling of harvest waggens—in fact, having "the country alt before him where. to choose," except where some grim gamekeeper growls Cerherus-like round the winged ones, they will have little difficulty in fill ing their game bags; and we hope the successful will not forget to discharge their obligations to their friends as well as their barrels.—atehnsford Chronicle. THE LATE ROYAL Y ACHT :.•:QUADRON REGATTA, AND PRINCE ALBERT . * Cur.—ln consequence of a protest having been entered by sonic of the con.petitors in the sailing match for this cup, against it being awarded to R. Carnac, Baronet, the owner of the yacht Heroine (the alleged winner), on the grounds that the start was not an equal one, and that the Heroitv , nearly ran into the Drift. when rounding the flag boat. The subject has caused a good deal of dispute, and the Duke of Beaufort will claim the cup, and hand it over to the I commute to be sailed for in a future match. FATAL COLLISION.—On Friday evening, between five and six o'clock, several gentlemen were sailing on the river in a smart yacht, of about nine tons burthen, and in tacking off Vauxhall she came in violent collision with a small skiff, in which were three pereous, named Gerard, Walker, and Nurse, who live together in the Belvidere-road, who were proceeding up the river to Mortlake, to spend the evening with a relation. The skiff almost instantly filled and went down, leaving the three unfortunate persons struggling in the water. An alarm was instantly given, and several per sons rowed to the spot, and succeeded in reecuitg Walker and Nurse, after they had sunk several times. Unfortunately Mr. Gerard was never seen to rise again. The yacht was instantly put about, and rendered every assistance in their power. No blame whatever could be attached to the persons in her. The drags were used as soon as possible, but the body could not be found.

With every confidence in the genius, capacity, and talent cf the eminent man who designed the tubular bridge, further and more satisfactory information would be exceedingly interesting to the profes sion, and I have no doubt to the public at large.— Corespon dent of the Blade,. A latn-ntable proof of how far the force of the ima gination will lead a person was given on Friday last at Soia sons. A pastry-cook of that place, named Dodment, while fishing on the banks of the river, suddenly fancied he heard a voice saying,' You will hang yourself, you will hang your self." Tormented by the sound which never ceased ringing in his ears, he returned home and communicated the cir cumstance to his wife, who endeavoured to convince him that the voice was only imaginary. Dodment, however, persisted in saying that he still heard it. His wife then becoming alarmed at the state of her husband's mind, ran to seek one of her sisters who resided near, and, on her return after only a few minutes absence, found her husband banging in an outhouse. A MAD BULL IN LINCOLN'S INN-FIELDS.-011 Fri day afternoon, between the hours of three and four o'clect , the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn- fields was thrown into a state of considerable alarm and excitement in consequence of the sudden appearance of a mad bull, which ran round the fi e l(;A several times in the most furious way. The infuriated . animal had broken leose front some slaughter-house in Clare market, and upwards of halt au hour elapsed before it could be secured. DECCAN PRIZE MONEY.

THE IRISH GOVERNMENT.—THE REPEAL MAGISTRATES. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BA NKR UPTC Y, August 29. (U. fare Mr. Corn missiover PANE.) IN RE COOPER. r3IPORTANT QUI:XIS:Ii AS TO THE LIABILITY OF TReSTEES.—In this case the bankruut tame up for his certificate, and was opposed by Mr. Parry, on the ground of improvidency and breach of trust, as trustee under the will of his brother. His Hoezonit at once said that he did net tit there to punish a man tor being improvident, and the case must depend on any breach of trust which could le- established. Mr. DUNCAN, who appeared for the bankrupt, in a very energetic speech succeeded in impressing the Learned Commissioner that his client was net quite so black as painted. The facts were remarkable. It tip pears that there were four brothers; one died, and Lft his other brothers trustees. The bankrupt, however, did not at the time act under the will, but his brothers becoming embarrassed, and one actually bank rupt, to relieve them from the serious (m -stquenees which it was conjectured they mieht fall into. He, in 1833, debited himself in his aeitounts with the whole amount of the debt, abeut 1,320,.; he reeei% ea the rents of eertain leasehold pee pery and applied portions of it in reduction of the debt; hut it was contended he could not do so without pre judicing the cestui qui, trust who had a right to oppo.o. The Learned Counsel ureed that the liankrept throughout the whole affair, acted as hanker for the 'may, and he could net clear off the liabilities of his en trustees acting up to the time he took the relionsi hility on himself; he had paid interest according to the price of the funds, he therefore ought not to be eliarged with any misappropriation of money merely t; , king the reduction of the debt he had incurred; in truth the bankrupt had gore beyond honesty—he hail acted with honour, adopting debts and liabilities which he was net hound to do. The Learned Commissioner Holroyd had insisted that the proof of theeestui qni trusts should oily be on the bills of exchange given,and therefore they had no right to oppose for a breach of trust. Mr. Duncan submitted that by the words of the will, no one trustee was to be answerable for the acts, defaults, &c., of the other. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the usual clause was better left out than inserted, and had no bearing on the present case. The bankrupt had admitted a debt RS tti tru3tcP, and had misapplied the property by paying his own debt, which he was net justified in doing, although a iesiduary legatee. The certificate was suspended for nine months, with out. protection. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 27. (11efere Mr. Jusrice CRESS WELL.) The Court was engaged neatly the whole day with two peeial jury eases, one respecting a watercourse, and another for a nuisance, the details of which were of no interest but to the ' , tittles. (Before Mr. Justice WicuTerex.) David Turkinyton was indicted fer having. on the hisib seas, stolen 40 sovereigns, the property of Patrick L. ech. ','he prisoner, it appeared, was an Irishman, who had tee some time carried on business as a calrinet-insker at N w Orleans, and was a fellow-passenger with the pro secutor, on board the Cremona. from that port to Liver- Tool. He and his wife slept in a small house tin the deck, which was also occupied by the prosecutor. The latter described himself as having been a soldier in the United States army for five years, and on his disc ergo received a sum of upwards of 50/. for arrears of pay, and for work of various kinds which he had performed. Of this money he, some time after he let t New Orleans, sewed 40 sovereigns in a belt, a , d put the remainder in a purse. These he some time after deposited in his trunk, which was in the small house on (leek alreedy mentioned. On Easter Sunday he saw his money safe, but on the following Tuesday it was gene. Inquiries were made on board the ship, and the passeneers were r' quired to show what money they had riot abeet them. The prisoner produced a purse with about 30s. in it, which he declared w-.s all the money he had in the world. The search was unsuccessful. During the voyage, the prisoner asked the prosecutor wheth..r the money he had lost was marked, and hearieg it was not, he eeemei anxious, several times, to impress on ti - ie mind of the prosecutor that, in that ease, there was no use in trying to press it any further, arid that when he got to Liverpool any attempt to recce r it would he in vain. The prisoner was observed, previous to the art ivel of the vessel et Liverpool, planing a small piece of wiiod. and at another time busily engaged in doing something to the stock of his. gun. On approaching Liverpool, the prosecutor went ashore, end came back with a polieemae, The prisoner's gun was examined, and behind the metal plate on the se ck was found to be scooped a small cavity, in which were a number of half-dollars, which. however, formed no part of the property L.st Ott a further search, in a large box he kept for his ends, is small hole was found behind the lock. in which was it sovereign. He said he had no more money. However, in an. , her smaller box, placed behind a smell bar of wood which ran across the lid to strengthen it, and which was similar to the bar he had been eeeti planing, were found 14 sovereigns. The prisoner, it appears. had several times during the voyage represented himself as hating no money, and had repeatedly attempted to sell his watch to obtain the means of going home to Ireland. H 4 was taken before the magistrate and disehar:ied, but was subsequently appreheuded and committed for trial. In the sole of his boot several pieces of gold , were found to be hidden, he having been seen, it was said, during •the voyage, doing something to the boot in question. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury for the de fenee, contending that there was no evidence to shoe. the pria mer had committed the robbery—eipposine the prosecutor had ever been robbed at all. His denial of be; eg possessed of money was only in accordance with the practice of his countrymen in that class of li(e, who, when travelling, were wont, in some degree:ter security, and in some degree to stimulate the k ndness and charity of these among whom the: , were, to assume a poverty which sometimes was not real. Verdict, Not Guilty. William Crawley was tried, on two successive indict ments, for cutting and wounding Mary Lawton and Catherine Riley. Mr. James appeared for the prosecution. The erisoner was not defended by counsel. It appeared from the statement of Mary Lawton that she, being in company with another girl, met the pri ssner, a sailor, at a public-house called Storey's, in this town. The prisoner asked the girl, the presectitrix'e companion, to go out with him, which she declined, and shoi tie after, while he was sitting beside the prosecu trix, he, without apparently any provocation, struck her with his sheath knife on the knee. He then went out, and the prosecutrix found herself wounded, the knife having passed through her clothes and ieflice d awelled, but not of any serious nature. He very shortly after, as appeared on the second indictment, went to the house where Riley lived with her mother, and, according to Riley's statement, without any provocation whatever, broke his pii e across her face. She had known the pri soner telore. On her going into the house he followed her, and went up stairs, where without, as the whin ss declared, anything further occurring, he kickel a young woman of the name of Toole, who was in the prosecu trix's company, arid stabbed Riley herself' in the chef k and was making a second blow, when she put up her hand and was wounded in one of the fineers. At the desire of the prisoner, the prosecutrix's mother was called. She said that she had been up in the room above where this was alleged to have taken place, anti that there were many poems, men and women, assailing the prisoner there. His own story correspended with this statement. and he declared that the wounds received by the prose-cutrix must have taken place areich•ntaliv, when she was struggling on the ground to get the knife from him, he having been obliged to draw it in self defence. Verdict on each indictment, Guilty of a common assault. To he imprisoned ten months on each indictment. James Lyon, a dissipated drunken -looking man, was it-dieted under the statute for stealing a lease, being cvi dence of the title of John Mac Glade to a certain dwell :ng-house. Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Blackburn. It appeared that about a year and a half ago the prose cutor took from the prisoner a lease for twenty-one years of the dwelling-house in question. The prisoner was in embarrassed circumstances, and the pr isecutor several times advanced him money. On the evening when the circum'tances occurred which resulted in the pres-nt indictment, the prisoner went to the house, toll after having some tea with the prosecutor, the subject of money matters was introduced. The file of receipts for moneys advanced by the prosecutor was produced, and with respect to one of these, which had been received from the prisoner's attorney, who drew up the lease, and who is since dead, a question arose. The prisoner sail it was not in the same handwriting as the lease, and accordingly that instrument was produced, Th e receipt was compared with it, and the prisoner then ad mitted that the former was a genuine instrument. 'I lie prosecutcr laid down the lease on the table, and turn- d round to look at his day -hook. The prisoner, it w. ul appear, took this opportunity of snatching up the lease and running in n h g im a , w b a u y t w i n i th va i i t n .. p was lle rt) sec nl .: E t: l. ) e % e a l t l t d e , m d p ill to same night about ten'o'clock, and on being taken int custody by the officer, he said to the prosecutor, " Mac Glade, I have you now, and I givoyou warning leave at this time tweiveiconth.” Verdict—Guilty. Sentence d4erred. Mr. R. A. Fitzgerald, M.P. for the county of Tippe rary, has forwarded the following reply to the Lard Chancellor's Secretary 6' Nluekridge House, August 18. " S;r,—l am in receipt of yours of the 15th instant, it - . which you mention that the Lord Chancellor is desirou. of restoring to me the commission of the peace. In reply, sir, I beg to state that I should be sorry to inter fere in the slightest degree with the desire of the Lord Chancellor to perform an act of justice towards those inlgistrates who were so unconstitutionally and unjustly deprived of their commis,ion by tho late Government.

Patrick Nyland, the Irish latwurer, who was charged on Satnrday week with careless!y throwing two brielis over the parapet of a house in the Strand, where he was at work removing a stack of chimneys (order ed to be taken down by the district surveyor), was again placed at the bar, berore Mr. Jardine. on Saturday morning last. appe red that Mr. H.arves• and Miss Tontkins, the pers , ns who were injured by the bricks, ouvre now in a much improved state—indeed, out of danger, but had not yet recovered entirely.

ARREST of C P PAIN RICHARDSON. the CH AIR AN cf tho WORCESTER, TEN BURY, and LUD LOW RAILWAY COMPANY. At a late hour on SAterday, Captain Rjehtmison. the Chairm , :n of the Wort,:-,tyr, Tettlau-3, and Ludlow Rail w•ty C ;Topany, was hr tight to the Man-;ion-house, in the custody of City I),l, , eman Ras-ell 34, of the &lee tive fore-, be''. re APerman Musgrove, charged with Irtvi-oz altt.red a cheque noon Coors's bank for the sum of 101. to the sum.of 5,0001 The ease, as may well be inyt :inP. l , excited the eatest . Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullins, solicitors to the Committee of Bankers for the Proo,cution of For gerie, attd Fowls. appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner having been taken by surprise, was un def.nd,•d. Mr. Bush stated that he was agent to Messrs. Fry and Co., the agents to the Worcester, Teneury, and Ludlow Railway Company, of which the prisoner %%as the chair man, and h. had to charge that prisoner with haying altered a eheque ninon Coutts's hank, which was origi nall?- drawn for 10/ to 5.00 a, at , d with having received the proeceds and aopropriateri them to his OW npurpos-s. At present he would call ottly such witnesses as might b neees.are to prove that there was founchtion for a remand. At a future day he s'ntuld produce some very imp,rtant and cemplicaod evidence, calculated to esta blish the charge in the most effectual t:,aneer. Ald.o , nan MosattovE- At present, prisoner, there is no evidence against y ou; there is merely the statement of Mr. Bosh, and I wish to knew whether you would (IQ:sire to ask that gentleman any question?. Prisoner — I Am so moth surprised at th%• ci.arge, that I had rather say nothing until I have an opportunity of consulting my solicitor upon the subject. Mr Bush said he held the cheque in his hand. The prisoner had he said, stated to him that he filled up and signed a cheque for 10/. on the 7th of July, which had been drawn upon Coutts's bank; that the same had after wards been returned to him signed by two other directors of the company; and that subsequently it had been paid into Messrs. Coutts's bank, the sum of 101. being altered into the sum of 5,000/. Mr. Robert Hare, clerk at Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s honking house, looked at the cheques produced by Mr. Bush, and stated that he paid that cheque, which pur ported to he for 5.000/.. on the.2oth of Jaly, to a person at the counter. He did not know to whom he paid it He paid the amount in five notes of 1,000/. each. The witness here produced the notes as those which he had ney had turne. away an. .art them; when :apping, addressing the latter, said he hoped that he was not going too, as he wished to say something to him. After the man had bowed three times to the multitude, who greeted him with three times three, and called him " a brave fellow," and " a trump of a fellow," with many similar expressions, he turned round to Mr. Sidney, and said that "he hoped he should be forgiven as he forgave everybody, and that his sentence was a just one." So far from these scenes passing off in silence, the culprit was treated by the mob as if he were a successful candidate at an election, and with much the same feeling. He had said this much, in order to show the inefficacy of executions by law in preventing crime; and he thought he had shown sufficient to convince them that the law would gain nothing in carrying out this sentence in its extreme rigour, for while such sights were demoralising to the public, this case, upon its own merits, demanded their greatest and warmest sympathy; because, as the man had been convicted upon his own testimony, they ought to give him the benefit of the provocation also upon his own,testimony; for he (Mr. Alderman Sidney) would defy any casuist in the world to bring forward another reason. The Chairman here read several letters bearing upon the case, one of which, from a clergyman at Norfolk, stated the family of the prisoner to be very respectable and honest, though poor, and most of them living in that county. It also spoke of a petition that was in progress to the Home Secretary for the mitigation of the sentence, and suggested the idea of a similar course being adopted in London. Another note, addressed to Mr. Sidney by Mr. Walter, the proprietor of the hotel, was also read, in which Mr. Walter said, that on the arrival at home on the evening of August 25, he had been much astonished to bear that some party had ac cused him of having said that Smith (his late cook) had thrown a knife at one of his fellow-servants. He begged to contradict the assertion, and to say that it was a pal pable falsehood, and he hoped to have the opportunity of meeting the party who had so used his name. A letter was also read from Mr. Gurney, of the Society of Friends, commending the steps that were being taken. Alderman Sidney remarked that, unfortunately, vague reports had been spread, which had received the charac ter of evidence, and it had been told to the Learn, d Judge that this was not the first offence on the part of the unfortunate man Smith. It was said that he had previously hurled a knife at one of his fellow -servants, and the Learned Judge, on hearing this, shrugged his shoulders, and said he was afraid it was not a case to recommend to mercy. He (Mr. Sidney) was happy to say that there was not the slightest foundation for these reports. Smith had once scratched the arm of on'- of the girls with a tin cover, but so trifling was it that it was not worthy of remark. In a lever from Mr. Walter to Mr. Baron Platt, it appeared that the former had put some questions to this servant with re gerd to Smith's conduct on that occasion, at the same time he asked her if she were willit ' e to sign a petition, signed by Mrs. Walter, his wife, and all the servants, of the establishment, 'praying for a mitigation of the sentence. The girl re plied st , e would willingly sign it. She spoke of deceased as being a most violent, ill-tern— pered, and aggravating girl, and that the language she made use of was unfit to repeat. It was not for the par -pose of heaping calumny upon the poor girl who was dead that these things were brought forward, for every Christian must feel deep sorrow for her miserable fate, but it was for the purpose of showing the circumstances which attended the perpetration of the crime, and upon the strength of them to humbly ask her Majesty's inter ference on behalf of the condemned man, and to save the public from that disgusting scene, which was neither consistent with the law itself, nor consistent with justice. The Chairman here conclude !, and from the expressions of the meeting they appeared to acquiesce entirely in the observaticns of the worthy alderman. Mr. THORNhoRROW then rose to put a resolution, but before doing so he read over the terms of a petition drawn up by Mr. Walter, and signed by himself and family, as well as all the servants of the establishment, for the mitigation of the sentence of Smith, by reason. of the provocation he bad received. It described him as having lived seventeen years in the family of Mr. Walter, at the Guildhall Hotel, and gave him an unexceptionable character up to the time of the crime he had committed. Mr. Teornborrow suggested, that a similar petition shoe ld „drawn „up and left at the . Gtitldholl Ciiffee-h'6use to be Signed by the public, and afterwards forwarded •to the Home Secretary, and he hid no doubt that with that, the petition from Nor a ich, and 'Mr. Walters, with the assistance of the So ciety of Friends, they would be enabled *to procure a mitigation of the sentence, A resolution was then pro posed, embodying the above suggestions, and it was seconded by Mr. MILLARD, who supported the resolution, and said that it would be important to show that the man had the good opinion of all his fellow-servants up to the time when, by reason.of rnueh provocati , in; he had com mitted the crime for which he was condemned. After a few other remarks, Mr. M. read the terms of the peti tion, which he thought, with a little modification, might be left for sie nature in Mr. Walters's house. A sub-committee was then formed, and the petition revised and altered, to be ready for signature at ten o'clock this mcrning, at the Guildhall Collet—house. Previously, however, to the revision of the petition, a unanimous vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, who having acknowledged the compliment, the meeting broke up. paid. - Mr. Bush—Have you reason to believe now that the cheque was forged ? Witness—The cheque bears the proper signatures. Mr. Bush—Have you heard what induces you to be lieve that it is in part forged ? Witness—l have. Mr. Henry Jerningham, a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, stated that on the 20th of July he changed three LOOOL bank notes, which were all dated Feb. 13, 1846. 'rho person who presented the notes gave the name of J. Jones. They were paid in gold. Mr. William Higman, of the Issee-office of the Bank of England, stated that the three notes for 1,0001. each having been sent for gald, were brought to him by the list witness, who said that a gentleman required gold for them. Witness perceiving; en the notes only the address of " Dublin," asked' the gentleman, who he had not the slightest doubt was the prisoner, what part of Dublin he resided in. The prisoner replied, " The Linen Hall." Witness asked him to write it on one of the notes. and handed him a pen for that rurpose. The Prisoner appeered to be very nervous, t, id requested witne,s to write it. and he did accordingly write or, one of the notes the words " Linen Hall," and asked the prisoner his address in Lender) ; to which the answer was" Furni yid's Inn Hotel." That address with. as also wrote upon the net« , The sum being a large snm for gold, witness went to Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier, to consult him on the subject. Witness was sure he asked the prisoner from whom he had had the notes, and the prisoner said from Courts's. When witness mentioned that circum stance to Mr. Marshall, that gentleman requested him to trace to whom the notes had been first issued by the bank. and he did trace the notes, and found they had been issued to Coutti's. Oo leaving Mr. Marshall. wit nes , : f and that the prisoner, to whom the geld had been already pad. had left the hank, and he had hon brought haek till the it' tes hold he traced. Mr Thomas Aeer, clerk in the Is ue Department of the Bank, sta7ed that. he was Fes , . nt while the prisoner was receiving the gold, durin the whole time. He had not the slightest doubt as to the identity of the prisoner. H. , had to call the t eieener back to re-weigh the gold, as it was a large amount, and there was some suspicion at tached to the circumstance. Witness went to the cab in which the pri- oner was about to seat hirnelt, and sail he was sorry he (the prisoner) must bring the money back ta h^ re• weigh. d. The prisoner said. " Oh, it's all right," and he came back. At last Mr. Iligman told witness to let the prisoner go. and he did so. Alderman MUSGRoVE said the experience of the pri• toner must itiferrn him that there was evidence enough given upon which to remand him for further examination The prisoner wished to have time to consult with his legal adviser. Alderman McscaovE—The case is a very serious one, and you shall have a full opportunity of consulting your solicitor. Do you wish to say anything now ? Prisoner — Mr. Bush can bear witness to the fact, that I took con sid• rable treuble to ascertain who committed this for gery in my capacity as chairman of the company. Mr. Bush—l have to say that the prisoner and others cenulted me on the subject of this forgery, and what took place upon that con'ultation led to this result. Prisoner—He knows that I went to Coutta's Bank upon the stieject, aecompanied by the solicitor, and un accompanied by any of the other members. The prisoner was then remanded till Tuesday. THE LATE MURDER AT GUILD- HALL COFFEE- tiOUSE: • . A. meeting of gentlemen' tank place on Friday after= noon, at the Guildhall CoffeOnaise, for• the purpose of petitioeing the Herne Secretary for a mitigation of the sentence of death pronounced upon Smith, the cook at the Guildhall Geffee- house, for the murder of Susan Tol leday. Amongst thole present were—Mr. Alderman Sidney (in the chair), John Wilson, E-q., W. J. Wil kinson, Esq., W. Thornhorrow, Esq., J. H. Croucher, Esq., J. Jones, Esq., J. Brewer, Esq.. R. Philips. Esq., James Millar, E q , J. Millard, Esq., J. M. Barnard, Esq., Rogers, Esq., W. Austin, E-q., &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said, they might perhaps regret that in a case of such great importance and interest there was not a more numerous a.tendance, but experience had shown that in cases of this kind persons were apt to consider that it formed no immediate business of iedividuals, and consequeetly, instead of coming torward to make iequi ries upon the sulii et. they were npt to he& to the parers for all eueh information. After thanking the gentlemee of the press for their Attendance, the worthy Alderman proceeded to say, that he had been solicited in the early part of this week to join a fi-w gentlemen ia their en deavour to obtain a miigation of the sentenee upon the unfortunate convict Smith, from the extreme pena,by of the law, to benishment. It had net ori gupieoentl3t-hbeeeseuhti,tie, i b n u t t e n s t t r i t i e l : i t n o a h o m l d e a t r , public l i r k n e e e t t h i ni this. it was imposs,ble to communicate their itttentioes to each other, and ascerain tb.se who might wish to assist them, without doing so, therefore had they assembled that morning, with a view of eavirg the law trot at , act of violence, and mitigating a sentence which would be proved to be much more severe than the case deservett. It had been his lot to see many persons con pp:: udne: victed of murder, and he ceuld not help ,aying that, in this case, to him there appeared to have been a vital eh senee of motive, except that of sudden rind irresistible provocetion. Every one press nt was, no doubt, well tic quain,ed with the circumstances attending this painful occurrence, but they could not be acquainted with those facts which came more particularly under the cognisance of those who had been admitted into the cell of the con demned man. He might state that et the trial, plain es the feet.; were, the jury took upwards of one hour to re turn their verdict,,and a more respectable jury he be lieved never ecenpleil a place itt the Central Criminal Court. They had since deelered, that had there keen any evidence to prove that a blow had been struck by dueea• ed, they would have brought in a verdict of man slaughter. It was for that apparent inconsistency that he (Alderman Sidney) a-ked the meeting to go band in hand with him to try if they could not get the sentence of death mitigated. The prisoner, when placed in Gilt spur street Compter, fully admitted his guilt to the turn key in charge of his cell, stating that he should not make any &fence, and he appeared anxious to unburden his mind by conversing upon the subject. lie said that the unfortunate occurrence would not have taken place had not deceased struck him first as he passed by her, ac comp-,vying the blow with the most vile expressions. lhl not this circumstance show that he had had great provocation? And this confession was made on the event -g before his trial, and again stated when there was not the slightest hope of it doing him any good. He did think that as the prisoner had been condemned upon his own admissions, he ought to have the benefit of the provocation to the crime. On this point the law was clear and explicit, and certainly no one could complain of the suraniing up of the Learned Judge. The worthy ALermen here cited two cases of murder which had come under that merciful judge, the Lord Chief Justice Tin-lal, in which the sentence of eeath had not been passed, though the easee appear• d to be subjects much less for merciful consideration than the present. In one of them a man, Hayes and by name, and a butcher by trade, having received provocation rorie a young man who, by order of his mi.nher, ha:: turned Hayward out of the shop, ran some hundredyerds and fetched a knife, with hiche he returned, and after exchanging a few angry words stabbed the offender so that he died in• stantiy. Now, the prioner Smith was a lawful cook, and engaged at his occupation e ith a knife in his hand. Deceased was also at work in the kitchen. Some angry works were spoken, and a quarrel ensued, when much exciting language was used by the deceased. At length the prisoner happening; to pass the decen.sed with some scrapings of fat, which he was about to throw into a re ceptaclehtte, (1 ) to s•rike him, at the same time addressing him by a for such things, the latter took t most odious epithet.

THORNTON, CHARGED WITH UTTERING FORGED NOTES. Police constable George Henry Maekrell, 110 D, was first called. He saii, he was on duty on Friday night at the police station in Marylebone-lane. About one o'clock yesterday morning he was directiel by Sergeant Brown to go round the cells. On arriving at that one in which deceased was confined, he saw that a silk hand kerchief had been passed through the bars of the little opening in the cell door, and hitched on to the bolt on the outside. On opening the door the deceased was found hanging with the silk handkerchief round his neck, and quite dead. Thomas Hooper, police constable 213 D, stated that he took the deceased into custody at eight o'clock on Friday evening for endeavouring to pass a forged 51. Bank of England note at the shop of Mr. Bennett, in Oxford-street. On his arrival at the station, he said he could easily account for the possession of the note, and a person who had received one, residing in Princes-street, having been sent for, cattle and identified the deceased, who had purchased some jewellery and given her a forged note. He was locked up in the cell at nine o'clock. Ile was then in a perfectly sound stare of mind and quite sober. He gave his name as Charles Walter Thornton, of 3, Hartland -terrace, Kentish town. Mr. Inspector Tedman here produced the property, which was found on the deceased's person at the station, and that subsequently found at his residence, most of which had been proved to have been obtained by means of forged notes corresponding with that on his per son when taken into custody. On his person were found a forged 51. note (in addition to the one he had at tempted to pass with Mr. Bennett), two good 51 notes, eight sovereigns, one half sovereign, eight half-crowns, two sixpences, two gold brequet chains and seals, a small box, containing two purse slid-s and rings, and a bead purse. There was also a diamond ring on his finger. At his lodgings, found in a jewel case, were one 101. note, good, four brooches, five coins, some gold Indian coins, OIIP, gold eye-class, nine seals, one silver pencil case, one silver toothpick. two gold union pins, three rings, and one eardrop. On these articles being pro duced t the coroner, many of the tradesmen present stepped forward and identified the various articles which th, y had sold to the deceased and given the change for the forged Si. notes, and which they also produced. The testes in question are anything but good imitations, b'-ing apparently lithographed. They all bore date the 3:1 of March. and were backed by the deceased with the name "Woodman, Romford„" Mrs. Mary Thorntou, the widow of the deceased, was next examined.
