the handling of the money themselves, and therefore they hoped, that in case this amount were subscribed, it would be placed in the hands of gentlemen locally in • terested, and who would, on tie part of the inhabitants, have the entire oontrol of the disbursements, as in the other districts.--(Hear, hear.) When the company was formed, the gentlemen subscriblnz, if they became share bolaera, would be allowed for it in the amount of their shares. Mr. Adair then read the form in which the subscriptions were to be subscribed, which did assay with every fear as to future risk. In the paper which he held in his hand he cursorily de scribed the principal features of the undertaking which was now submittel to them. 1. It was the most direct and practicable line from Du blin to Galway. 2. The least expensive is its construction. 3. It accommo dates the best traffic towns in the district. 4. It crosses the Shannon at the most favourable point for accommodating its great traffic. 5. Being the most direct, it is the best adapted for becoming the high road to England and Eer 'tee generally with America. 6. Its terminus, Galway, being t'ie most westerly port of Europe, and which has been reported by the Tidal Har bour Commissioners as the best harbour for trans-Atlan tic communication on the coast. 7. It will afford to the fisheries on the west coast an outlet and a market— (Hear, hear)—all that is wanting to render them the most prolific districts of the west to be advantageously worked. ee It will generally tend to the development of the industrial resources of the country—it will stimu late enterprise—throw open to enterprise and capital a county and a harbour which only require to be known to possess the greatest mercantile and manufacturing en terprise and wealth. 9. In conjunction with the Shan non it will afford the greatest and least expensive com munication between Galway and Limerick, and Cork. 10. It will enable the inhabitants in the eastern and midland districts to enjoy the bathing and noble scenery which the various watering places on the western coast present, affording a striking contrast in their cheapness and grandeur of situation to those of the east coast. 11. It is promoted by the unanimous desire of the gentry, merchants, and inhabitants of the country. The surveys and necessary Parliamentary plans being made and lodged at the expense of those parties most directly interested in the welfare of the country, sup rted by the evidence of the Postmaster- General, Mr. Williams, and of all others best acquainted *i.h the wants and present communication with the country—by the unanimous consent and anxious wishes of all the pro prietors along the line—of the citizens of the towns along its route and its termini, it comes before the public fully challenging inquiry into its merits, with a certa i pros pect of success in its execution, and pro-prous return for the capital that may be invested in it by its pro moters. The old proposal, or Irish Great We,tern, was 1331 statute miles in length, between Dublin and Gal way, and had 93 miles of new railway to effect ; the Mullingar, 127 statute miles in length, with 76f miles of new railway to construct • hut the project which he (Mr. Adair) now brought before them was only 1211 statute miles in length, and had only 73 miles of new line to complete.—(Bear, hear.) These were advantages which no other undertaking yet proposed for connecting this town with the metropolis could present, while it formed the best route for railway communication with the various other districts which it could not ex actly embrace. Parsonstown was far superior to Athlone, for it had a comfortable and numerous po pnlation, while Mountmellick was the best manufac turing inland town in Ireland. He saw himself there one thousand hands engaged in manufacture, and as a proof of their flourishing coalition, they were about erecting a gas-house for lighting their ware-rooms alone. Instead of importing cotton from Liverpool, they could directly import it from America by Galway. We: ehe a Galway man, he would almost go mad to see their magnificent port neglected, but which he was confident was before long destined to become the greatest em porium of manufacturing industry in these king doms. Mr. Adair then alluded to the Employment Act, and the necessity of limiting its cperations, as far as possible, to productive works, and upon a sugges tion from Mr. Spencer Lindsey, recommended that at the various baronial sessi ms along the route of the line proposed the magistrates and cess-payers should present for works in that way, which could be after wards purchased at valuation by a company, to lay down rails upon them, or have them set up to auction for that purpose, as in France. lie himself would serve notices on the various districts along the line for this object, and would communi ate with Mr. Redington upon the subject. Mr. D'Ancr intimated that such course would be proposed, as far as the town and county of the town of gealway was concerned, at the baronial sessions to be held on Friday next. The plans now lodged with the clerk of the peace for the former railway projects into the town could at once be made use of, and enable them to set the people without delay upon works which would exercise their skill, and be sold hereafter to any company, obtainin_g a Bill for a railway to Galway.. The CHAIRMAN expressed his dissent from the tinges- ' tion until it could be shown that there would be a guarantee for their being purchased. After some further conversation on this point, Mr. HOGAN read the report he had drawn np from his provisional survey :—" That the railway will commence at Mountmellick. forty-eight and a half statute miles from Dublin, and will proceed in a direct westerly course, pass ing through Rosenalis, and north of Clonaslee, approach ing within six miles and a half Irish of Tullamore ; thence continuing, it will pass north of Kinnitty and south of Frankford, reaching Parsonstown at a dis tance of twenty-five statute miles from Mountmellick. Keeping to the north of Parsonstown, the line then follows the valley of the Brusna, and at Meelick, two miles and a half Irish south of Banagher, crosses the river Shannon at this point, communicating with the extensive traffic of - Limerick at the Middle Shannon ; proceeding from Meelick, the line passes south of Eyrecourt, from whence will diverge a branch to Ballinasloe; then passing north of Kellimor, the line in a straight direction continues, passing through Loughrea and Oranmore to Galway, termi nating there at a distance of 73f statute miles from Mountmellick, and 122 from Dublin, being the best and five miles the shortest line yet projected for Galway. Independently of the advantageous communica tion the line will give Galway to Dublin, it also opens to the town a railway communi cation to Cork, Waterford, and Wexford, a water .steam communication with Limerick, Killaloe, and Athlone. I have taken a cursory view of your har bour, and cannot hut regard it as admirably qualified, by its situation and advantages, for becoming the port of communication between Europe and America. The ex isnditure of a trifling sum would reader it the best and saftest harbour in the country. The future traffic which will arise from the trans-Atlantic communication must formanimportaet feature in the ultimate remuneration to be expected from the formation of this railway. Its vastness will exceed the most sanguine expectations - but with out taking into con-ideration this inevitab l e result, the present existing traffic gives sufficient ?Ws to show that the line would 1 e remunerative without any contin gencies. I have made a preliminary survey of the line ; it is the most favourable of construction I have ever been over ; and I can pledge myself that a single line, making provision in the purchase of land, and in the construction of bridges for a double, should the traffic hereafter require it, as I have no doubt it will, in this way can be co is rioted for an estimate of 7,000/. per mile ; and I think it is important that railways, which ate yet an experiment in this country, should be made in the most economical manner. The crossing of the Shannon has been fixed at Meelick, the cost of which will be of a comparatively trifling amount; it is the most favourable point on the entire of the Middle Shannon, as well for crossing as the accommo dation of the increasing traffic of that noble river. Mr. STEPHENs requested Mr. Adair to state how they were prepared to commence. Mr. ADAIR said that their plans and sections would be lodged, as usual, in his own al d the names of other gentlemen as reg istered proprietors—that t len the pro ject would be sumitted to the new Railway Board ap pointed last session, and if they reported in its favour they would then pieced to the formation of the com pany for carrying it out. Mr. ROBERT BODKIN inquired whether they were to form an independent company, or to be u 'ported by any other, as the Mullinger Company appeared to depend on themselves? Mr. ADAIR said the Cashel Company, by their last report, was alleged to support any company projecting a railway' from their trunk westward. It the new Railway Board reported in favour of the project, he had not the ha t doubt of their being abi.e to raise the requisite capital Mr. ROBERT POWER said that when they were in a posit on to do so, they would call upon the parties in terested along the line to form the company, in end r to give them a direct interest in it, and prevent the p)ssi bility of its being regarded as a gambling transaction. Mr. STEPHENS then detailed a conversation which l.e had had with Lord Dunsandle and Mr. Ennis, in which the Noble Lord and that vitlerran stated their deter mination to extend their line to Galway. After some further conversation, a subscription list was opened, when the gentlemen present at once entered their names for various sums, to be lodged in the hands of P. M. Lynch and John Ireland, E,quires, as trustees, the balance to be collected from those unable to be present. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company are determined on pro ceeding with the lice between Carlow and Kilkenny with all possible activity. The lines of railway embraced by this amalgamated company are all in intimate connexion with the Great Southern and Western Railway, anti when made we have no doubt will be rented at a very repunerative profit by that company. The lines are froet Carlow to the point of junction with the Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow line about four miles from Enniscorthy—from Carlow to Kilkenny—and from Kilkenny to Clonmel. There can only be one opinion as to the resources of the districts in traffic through which these lines run. The directors have prudently resolved on undertaking the construction of_ these lints in divisions ; and first, they will proceed with the lines from Carlow to Kilkenny , which will um - oteuedly prove one of first-class character. It is capable of being very economically constructed; and worked, at it will be, in conjunction with the Carlow branch of the Great Southern and Western Company, the directors may reasonably anticipat e a very hi gh rate of dividend, without calculating much beyond the traffic that already exists. When the line is opened it will command the whole traffic of the counties of Waterford and Kilkenny to Carlow and Dublie; and this in itself, independent of other resources, will make it a first class line. By the amalgamation of the Wexford and Carlow, and the Great Leinster and Munster, under the new name of " The Irish South-Eastern." it is manifest that the inter ests of the shareholders have been consulted in the best possible manner, and the most effectual means have been taken to render the lines to be constructed beneficial to the country, and equally so to the proprietors. The line to Kilkenny joins the Waterford and Kil kenny about two miles north of the city, and this por :... -I- • - - THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1846. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST.

CORRIE, Esq.) THE PRINCE OF WALES'S CLUB.-LIST V. WILSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 111. 14s. The plaintiff was until lately housemaid at the Prince of Wales's Club-house in St. James's street, and the defendant was one of the trustees and committeemen. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default. Mr. ROBINSON stated the case. He observed that the reason that the defendant, Captain Wilson, had been sued was, that he had been the most active of the com mittee, and, as one of the trustees, had undertaken to pay the wages. There would be no question as to amount, as an account lyal been made out against the committee, and the defendant had written on it the word " correct," and signed it. Mr. Moore Wfti called, and stated that he 'w as the steward of the club. Captain Wilson was one of the trustees, and always on the committee. It opened in January last, and was dissolved by the members on the 16th of July last. The servants were not paid, but the defendant undertook that it should be paid in full within four days. The account acknowledged by defendant was put in, and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. BUTTON V. WILSON. The plaintiff in this action was a waiter at the same club-house, and brought his action to recover the sum of 141. 15s. ld. for services. In this case, also, the defendant suffered judgment to go by default. The jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. WHOLESALE FRAUDS IN THE CITY.—,A young man, named Edward Evans, who has been employed at various large warehouses in the City and the west-end, was brought up for final examination, charged with having obtained goods to a large amount from various houses under false pretences. The Court was crowded by parties who had been duped, and a number of cases were entered into, which occupied the greater part of the day. Mr. James Easthare, assistant to Messrs. Swainson and Co., ,Watling-street, stated that he knew the pri• soner some time ago from his repeatedly coming for goods from other houses. On the 22d September he came and asked for two pieces of drab and blue furni ture for Messrs. Williams and Co. Witness toll him they had none of that colour, when he said that buff and blue would de, upon which two pieces were given him, with a bill of parcels, made out in Williams and Co.'s name. The pieces produced by the pawnbroker in Court were those he delivered to the prisoner. Mr. James Stilwell, of White Lion-street, Norton Folgate, deposed to the prisoner having called on the sth of September, and asking for a piece of crimson damask. Prisoner had been in the habit of coming from Messrs. Miles and Cu., cf Oxford -street, but he now represented that he was living at Mr. Gillows's, in the same street. Witness gave him the damask, and on the following Tucsday he came again, and said that the managing man at his employer's had sold it nearly all, and liked it so well that he wished for another piece to show to a lady. This was given, with a bill made out in the name of Gillow►. The value was about 401. He identified the goods now prodnced. Alfred Hulme, assistant to Mr. Bayliss, pawnbroker, of Aldersgate-street, proved that the prisoner pawned the articles for 81. each, on the sth and Bth of September, the days on wh ch they were obtained. There were several other similar cases which were gone into, but the number of witnesses was so great, and the amount of evidence so voluminous, that it would be useless to give them. However, seven cases were established against him, and he was committed on all. Several were abandoned, and others not sustained, fur want of sufficient evidence. The Court was occupied several hours in taking down the evidence. A boy, apparently under fourteen years of age, who gave his name as Jones Jacobs, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with being drunk and disorderly. The policeman (City 85) who took him into custody stated that he found the prisoner drunken and noisy at about half-past eleven o'clock on Thursday night, at a Wee shop in Throgrni rton-street, where he had been treating some cab and omnibus drivers to cigars and coffee. It appeared further, that the conduct of the precocious youth had been of a very singular kind all day. He had been sporting about from one end of the metropolis to another on the tops of various omnibuses, smoking cigars all the time, and treating the drivers to brandy-and-water wherever they made a suffi ciently long stop to admit of such regaling. He gave several contradictory accoun's of himself, saying one time that he had just come up from Brighton with plenty of money, and at others that his friends were rich folks in Bristol, and he had come up to London for a spree. His conduct rendered the people at the coffee • shop suspicious, and when he became troublesome they availed themselves of that excuse to call in the police, that the boy might be brought to give a correct account of himself. He had then a few shillings about him, be sides some flimsy trinkets such as they sell for a 'e v pence in the streets, and a common brass hoi n, which it appeared he purchased that day to amuse himself with whilst journeying on the roofs of the street vehicles. Mr. Carter, of the firm of Carter and Co., warehouse men, Aldermanbury, stated that the prisoner had been two days in their employment as errand-boy, and on Thursday, being sent for change of a sovereign, he went upon the course of pleasure of which the Alderman:had just heard the narrative. The father of the prisoner, a man of very good cha racter, applied to the Magistrate to get the young delin quent into the House of Occupation. The ALDERMAN promised to do so, and in the mean ! time sent him for two months to Bridewell. BOW-STREET. John Bennett, alias I3urn, employed as a dresser at the Princess's Theatre, was charged with an indecent assault upon a lad named John Cooke, on the afternoon of yesterday week. The alleged offence was committed while the prisoner and Cooke were looking into a print-shop window in St. Martin's-lane, and the prosecutor stated that it had been attempted on two previous occasions by the same man, although he was then unable to give him into cus tody. On the last occasion, however, he followed the prisoner into some public-houses, and eventually, on see ing a policeman, gave him into custody. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner offered him money and drink to abstain fom prosecuting Lim. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prisoner, urged the respectability of his client, who had a large family, and called a respectable tradesman to give him a charac ter of twenty years' standing. It was stated that he was an actor during the greater part of this time. Mr. HENRY committed him for trial, but consented to take bail, two in 50/. each, and himself in 100/. Two boys, of about 14, named John Smith and Charles Baker, were charged with stealing, and Bridget Warner was charged with receiving, an earthen pan, the property of Mrs. Kingston, a dealer in china and delf, in Drury lane. Mary Pearse, the wife of a bricklayer, who lives op posite . to the prosecutrix's shop, said that on Thursday afternoon she saw the two boys go up to the door and lift up the pan, which was lying in front of the shop window. S m i t h put i t on h i s head, Ba k er h e l pe d him, and they went away together. About half an hour afterwards the prisoners returned, and witness pointed them out to the prosecutrix, who gave them in charge. Policeman F 46, who took the prisoners into custody, stated that Baker said he lived at No. 12, Short's-gardens. Witness went. The prisoner Warner lived there, and in her room he found the pan produced. The prisoner said she had had it a fortnight. He also found a large quantity of valuable glass, an oil cloth table cover, and a piece of oil cloth, such as is used for table covers, all of which he now produced. George Edwards, a boy about 13, employed by the prosecutrix, identified the pan by a chalk mark made by .himself on the bottom of it. The prosecutrix said that she had at various times lost a quantity of glass w are similar to some of that produced. The prisoner Warren said she bought the "crock" a - fortnight ago, and the other things were all her own. The other prisoners denied their identity. Mr. HALL said that he would remand the prisoners till this day week, in order that the constable might endeavour to trace the oilcloth, &c. MARYLEBONE. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OP ROBBERY. - Henry .Riley, a drummeriin the Ist Regiment Grenadier Guards, -was charged with having stolen a hot se and cart belong iing to Mr. Atkinson, a turner, residing in Manchester :street, Gray's Inn•road, and also two military coats, the property of her Mijesty. The case was fully gone into on the 3d inst., and from the evidence then given, it appeared that on the previ ous evening prosecutor went to St. John's Wood Bar racks with some goods for the sergeant-major: he de livered them to him, and they both went to the canteen Ito take some refreshment, and in the course of half an :hour they returned, when he found that his horse and tart were gone. The prisoner was taken into custody n the same night near Rosemary-lane. He was then iin the cart, in which were two military coats, which, ms alleged, he had offered for sale. Ile (prisoner) was remanded. On Thursday additional evidence was forthcoming, st,nd he was committed for trial. CLEI?KENWELL. Mary Anne Ellis, who had been remanded for a week from last Wednesday, for stealing 21 sovereigns from her mistress, was brought up again in custody of con stable 43 S, when he stated that he had been informed Iry the prosccutrix that morning, that upon searchinz t1:10; room more closely she found the whole of the 21 so' Tereigns concealed iii a small crevice in an old cup bo,ad. Mr. COMBE inquired whether Mrs. Latimer, the pro sei :atrix, was present? The constable replied in the negative, and said that 2s ,ho had found the money she expres.,:d her deterrni na' ion not to prosecute, although there was no doubt the ~t the money had been taken with a felonious intention frc .m under the mattress, and either concealed at the mo ment in the cupboard, or placed there by some person since the prisoner had been given into custody. Mr. COMBE remarked that there could be no doubt but the prisoner had intended to steal the money, and he regretted that the prosecutrix did not attend to pref . ( r the charge, as he was now compelled to discharge the prisoner without any punishment. SO U TY ARE: , A POLICEMAN CAUGHT NAPPING.-7 hamar Ellis, a policeman of the M division, was charged with neglect of duty, and absenting himself from his beat. Sergeant Clark, of the same division, stated that the defendant belonged to the section of the division at Rotb.erhithe, and that he, the serpant, had occasion to vi3it the beat upon whi:h he ought to have been on duty. On proceeding his rounds he c3uld. not find the defend garden lying fast asleep in a summer•house. He awoke him and made him go on his beat, and then left him, but returned soon afterwards, and finding h e was aga in absent, went to look after him, and upon this occasion found him fast asleep in a low shed. The defendant did not deny the charge, but said he was so overcome with sleep that he could not walk about. The MAGISTRATE convicted the defendant in the pe nanity of 16s. BW, his week's pay. The defendant, it was stated, would be also discharged from the pollee force. THAMES. James Brooks, a lighterman, was brought before Mr. BAllantine, charged with assaulting Ann Wi!barns, a young woman who carried an infant i❑ her arms, and whose face was marked. . It appeared that the complainant and her husband went into a public house called the Red Lion, in Rat cliffe-highway, to obtain refreshments, and chile there prisoner and another man entered. They fastened a quarrel upon the other party, and the prisoner challenged the complainant's husband to fight. He refused to do so; on which the prisoner attempted to strike him. The woman got up and said, " Don't hit my husband, he don't want to fight," whereupon he struck her a violent blow on the face, and knocked her backwards. The bruise on her face was in consequence of the blow. Mr. BALLANTINE said the prisoner might have se lected a man in the group to fight with, if h e was so f on d of using his fists, and not beat a woman. his conduct was eery base and cowardly, and he fined him 41., and in default of payment sentenced him to six weeks' impri sonment.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF A LETTER FROM THE POST OFFICE.—A 'ran who was employed in the post-office, Birmingham, as a letter-carrier, and dismissed about four years ago, has been committed for trial on a charge of stealing a letter containing bank-notes prior to that time. It seems that he had kept one of the 10/. notes in his possession till within auout ten days ago, when, being sent to the bank of Messrs. Attwood and Spooner to advise a bill for a party in whose service he was, he substituted one of the notes given for that which had been stolen, and the number of which had been preserved at the bank. The prisoner's own ac count of the affair is, that he found the note in Wel verb am p ton.

FUNERAL OF THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE —The remains of the above lamented Nobleman were conveyed to the family vault of the Earls of Waldegrave, in Nave stock Church, Essex, on Tuesday last. SEA BATHING INFIRMARY, MARGATE.--The Quar terly General Court of the governors of the above insti tution was held on Thursday at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill. H. Desborough, Esq., in the chair. From the report of the state of the infirmary at Margate, it ap peared that the number of persons now in the establish ment is 160, though a short time ago it contained as many as 236. During the past season the total number had been 700.

It is stated that a declaration his already been made to the Cabinet of the Hague, that unless the advantages granted by Holland to the Belgium manufacturers are extended to the Z illserein, Prussia will be obliged to make ze prisals. HEINOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. -- NORWICH, OCT. 7.—The inhabitants of this city during the week have been much excited by the report of a clergyman of considerable standing in this part of the county having committed an abominable offence, the chief evidence being that of a man named Roberts, be longing to the constabulary force. On Monday last the Rev. E. Saul Dixon, rector of Intwood-cum-lieswiek, and chaplain of the union, was charged before the ma gistrates for the hundred of Humbleyard, by the aforesaid constable, with having attempted to commit the heinous crime above-mentioned. The magistrates took the charge in a private room at Norwich Castle, aid the evidence is, therefore, but partially known, but the re sult was such as to determine them to commit the rever end defendant for trial at the ensuing Norfolk assizes. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT EAST DRAYCOMEE.-- On Wednesday night afire broke out on the premises of J. W. Patterson, Esq., of Wilton House. It was first discovered by one of the police. The engine from Dray combe, and others from Marston and Layfield soon ar rived; but before any efficient means could be brought to bear upon the flames the fire had made rapid advances, and by three o'cleck in the morning nearly the entire edifice was consumed. By (tint of great exertions on the part of the firemen an extensive range of offices were preserved. A considerable portion of the furniture and other effects were saved. The inmates, with the excep tion of one of the female servants, succeeded in escaping from the building uninjured. It is supposed that the female in:question having delayed leaving the premises until her escape by the roof was cut off, had sought the roof, as she was seen upon the leads, and heard from thence imploring for assistance, which the persons below were unable to render. There is no doubt but she perished in the flames, although no portion of her re mains have been discovered. Mr. Patterson and family are at present on the continent. The property is be fully insured. listed io be MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY,) _ - - CORN _ EXCHANGE The arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been somewhat extensive; yet the show of samples here was by no means large. Monday's surplus supply was mostly cleared off at that day's prices ; yet the trade was in a very sluggish state, There was very little business doing in Foreign Wiest, free or in bond. the holders, however, were not disposed to give way much in price. We had hardly any malting Barley on show. This article was quite as dear; so also were the grinding sorts. Superfine Malt, both old and new, moved off steadily, at full prices. In other kinds very little was doing. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, were quite as dear. Wheat. 7,2G0 qrs. ARRIVALS. IBarley. 5,130 qrs.

For the time of year the supply of Beasts on offer here was good, but of middling quality. The primest Scots, &c., were mostly disposed of at Monday's prices; but the value of all other breeds had a downward tendency. There were in the market 340 Oxen and Cows, 370 Sheep, and 20 Calves front abroad. Although the numbers of Sheep were small, the Mutton trade ruled dull, at barely late rates, and a clearance was with difficulty effected. The supply of Calves was smaller than for some time past, yet the sale for that descrip- tion of stock was heavy, at a decline of 2d per Blbs. Pigs were a slow inquiry, at unaltered currencies.

SUGAR. —To. day there was a good business transacted in West India Sugar of all kinds for the scale and pan, in con sequence of merchants Leing sellers at previous moderate rates. The purchases amounted to COO hhds, &c., including at auction 45 hhds 26 tree of Jamaca, which writ a 50s for good yellow, 48s to 48s 61 for middling, and 46s to 46s Gd for low yellow. REFINED.—The home trade have been induced to purchase Refined goods with more freedom this week, in consequence of rather lower rates having been taken; the supply of all qualities is. however, larger than it was, as the refiners are working freely, and likely so to keer, as they are ob taining satisfactory profits, and are getting 18s for working. Pieces have slightly declined in value, there being an in creased quantity on offer, but a good demand has been ex perienced. Bastards have met with little attention, and the supply being large there are ready sellers. For Treacle of every sort prices are rising, the demand being extensive and the supply small. Crushed Sugar for exportation has been purchased with caution, although there are sellers of first quality at 33s per cwt ; the refiners continue freely at work. Treacle is still wanted, and prices are firm. Dutch Crushed Sugar is heavy of disposal. For Loaves manufactured here the export demand has been good. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon at public sale 1,484 bags and 16 hhds were offered, and sold at the former worth, good yellow at 47s Cd to 50s, middling 45s to 475, low 43s to 445, fine brown 42s 6d, washed 42s_ to 475, and syrui p; per cwt. _ A EAST INDIA —This afternoon the public sales of Bengal sugar consisted of 4,145 bags, nearly the whole sold, and at full rates. MOLASSES.—West India is wanted, and having but a mo derate supply prices are looking up. The private sales this week are 400 puns, Dominica at 225, and St. Vincents 225. Bally Khal Treacle has been in good request, and prices are firm at 225; the supply has again become small. FOREIGN.—There has been a larger supply of all descrip tions of Foreign Sugar at market this week. For brown and the lower kinds of yellow, of which there is a heavy stock here, prices are generally lowering, but for white and the better kinds of yellow they rule firm, the home trade being inclined to get stocked with such. Porto Rico has been in excellent demand and brought advanced rates, more particularly the better sorts. At auc tion 198 hhds and 100 barrels were all sold. Manilla has met with little attention by private contract, and at auction 9,530 bags werepostly taken in at the former value. White China is wanted at previous rates, but little desire has been shown to buy the brown and yellow kinds, although they can be had upon easier terms. Java has been sold to a fair extent at the former currency, the better sorts being the most preferred. White Havannah is attracting less atten tion, but stiff rates have been obtained for the few parcels sold privately. Yellow in good request, and prices fully equal to those previously current, and several parcels have been sold by private treaty. Brown, however, has met with little atten tion, and can be obtained at moderate rates. For exportation Foreign has been sparingly dealt in by private contracts, al though there are sellers at moderate rates, and several parcels are pressing for sale. COFFRE.—This afternoon 677 bags Plantation Ceylon were offered at auction, and partly sold at 52s for fine ordinary grey, and at lOs to 33s for triage, being about the former value, fine fine ordinary was taken in at 545. 10 hales Mocha sold at 40s for triage. 55 casks of Jamaica went at 69s 6d to 70s 6d for middling, at 33s Gd to 48s 6d for other sorts, and at 26s to 30s for triage, being the former value. 70 bags 71 barrels La Guayia fetched 50s to 51s 6d for fine fine ordinary, and 41s 6d for good ordinary, and 80 bags Costa Rica 35s 6d for good ordinary.

For Foreign previous rates are asked, but few buyers are to be met with. TEA.—None has been offered at public sale since our last, still Conpu has been dealt in sparingly, notwithstanding the low rates that prevail ; the trade only purchase suffic'e It for their present wants, and there is only a fair supply at market of all descriptions. In Pouchong a good business has been done, and the supply being small, prices rule firm. Cf Souchong some raTels have been disposed of, but at rather luwer rates.

FRUIT. —For new Valentias there has been a good inquiry —no arrivals this week up to this day, and the whole of the present stock being in speculators' hands who appear to he selling some at 465; several parcels are daily expected. For New Currants there continues a large demand. New Mus catels rating so low in price with the commen deacription attracts much attention.

Proprietors have bought in 298 chests. The total quantity that has now passed the sale amounts to 7,065 chests, of which 3,436 were withdrawn. and 1,260 bought in, making the quantity actually sold 2,309 chests. The total quantity withdrawn now amounts to 4,065 chests. SALTRILTRE.—TO. day Rough was more sought after, but business of moment was prevented privately by stiffer rates being asked. For English Refined the demand has been active, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda is little wanted, and can be obtained at 16s to 16s 3d per cwt. Woore—The arrivals continue to be large, the chief part Spanish, Cape, and Colonial. Prices rule firm for all descrip tions, but there has not been much business transacted since the termination of the public sales. Otes.—There was a lively demand for Seal Oil, and prices have risen 20s to 408, the Lorne trade are the principal operators; merchants are sanguine in their expectatiens as to the future position of the article; although there is a fair stock here, pale has been selling at 311 to 32/, straw 29/ to 30/, yellow 27/10s to 281 10s, and brown at 261 to 271 per tun. In Cod a good business has been transacted, in conse quence of rather lower rates being taken. For Southern the market has a firm appearance, all sorts have been sought after, and full rates are offered, but there is only a moderate quantity on offer. Sperm does not improve in value ; the demand has been good, but the market is still well supplied. There are further arrivals of Fish Oils. Linseed has met with less attention, and prices have assumed a downward tendency: the market being well supplied, only a limited business has been transacted on the spot at 24s 6,1 to 24s 9d, and for forward delivery few contracts have been entered into, although there are sellers at 25s to 25s 3d per cwt. Rape Oil has been in good demand, and quo ' tations are firm at 34s for pale, a nd at 33s for brown.

She is somewhat late in her arrival, having been retarded, no doubt, by the heavy gales of the last few days.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths • nature, .1 human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physic's! , any more than their own lawyer, Taut it is insisted upon that W 0 should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several health"' states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

THE BORROWING SWINDLER.—This Court, and all the avenues leading to it, was crowded to excess by per sons interested in the examination of a person named William Wilmot Byron, who stood remanded from Friday last, on a charge of being concerned with another per son, not at present in custody, in defrauding Mr. Mens ord out of 201., and also with having in his possession a 20/..note and other property to a considerable amount, of which he could not give a satisfactory account. The first witness called wss Miss Charlotte F. White, of 24, Connaught-terrace, E lgware-road, who deposed, that on the 18th of July last she saw an advertisement in a morning paper, offering a bonus of Si. for the loan of 201. for one month. She replied to it, and on the fol lowing Monday the prisoner called upon her, and, pre• seating her the note she sent in reply to the advertise ment, asked if she was the person who had sent it. She replied in the affirmative, and he then told her he was the person who wanted the money, and presented three tea warrants of three chests of tea in each, which he said he would deposit with her as a security, besides allowing her 51. for the loan. The prisoner represented the tea warrants to be very valuable, and she consented to lend the 201. on his giving his note of hand for 251., and depositing with her the tea warrants in addition. Mr. NORTON—Has the !tote of hand been since paid ? Witness—lt has not, Sir, and the tea warrants are com pletely worthless. Mr. NORTON inquired if there were any other charges against the prisoner ? when a feshionably dressed lady who sat at the solicitors' table jumped up, and said she had a charge to prefer. Mr. Ballantine—l had no idea there were so many lady money-lenders.: The lady alluded to here entered the witness-box. She stated her name to be Frances Raymond, and that she is the wife of a gentleman living on his property at Swiss Cottages, Dalston. Ou the 15th of May last she answered an advertisement in a morning paper, and shortly after a person, who represented his name to be Barnes, called upon her on the subject of the advertise ment, and said he wanted the loan of 151. for a month, and agreed at the end of the month to pay 181. for it, and also to place in her hand a tea warrant for six chests of young hyson. She did not then make up her mind to lend the money, and Baffles went away, but in a short time after the prisoner called to know if Barnes had left his pocket-book behind him. Witness told him no, on which he observed that the pocket-book contained pro perty of the value of 5001., and said he supposed he must have left it at some other place. lie then went away, but in the course of the same evening both the prisoner and Barnes again called, when the latter commenced a conversation with her on the subject of the loan, and spoke of the nature of the security. On the repre sentations of the parties, and believing the warrant to be genuine, she advanced Barnes 151., fur which he gave her his note of hand for 181, and also deposited a tea warrant with her. On the Friday following the prisoner called upon her, and said, " You will be somewhat surprised that a person of my appearance should be in want of a little money, but such was the fact, and Mr. Barnes had kindly accommodated him with some tea warrants to deposit as security for any small loan he might require" She (witness) took shame to herself in admitting that she had given a second loan to the prisoner of 15/. more, and for this he was to give her 16/. 10s. for a fortnight; and he also, in addition to his note of hand, deposited a tea warrant in her hands. She had not, however, been enabled since to receive a single farthing of her money back, and as for the tea warrants, a gentleman to whom she had shown them assured her they were not worth a single farthing. Mr. James Northington, the keeper of a coffee-house in Agar-strcet, Strand, said that the prisoner and six or seven other persons were in the habit of frequently meeting at his house, and having their letters directed there. They met so often that they led him (witness) and his family to believe they were persons speculating in horse racing, and were very fortunate in their specu lations.—(Laughter.) Mr. NORTON remarked, that the case was one which required further investigation, and he should, therefore, remand the prisoner until Friday next (this day week) on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL. SENTENCE ON PRIVATE MATHEWSON. On Wednesday afternoon an order was issued 7. Hounslow Barracks for the lath Lancers, with the pri soner Mathewson, and the officers and men of the 7th Hussars then remaining there, to assemble at four o'clock that afternoon, and on their doing so the finding of the late Court-martial was read, with the s en t ence , t h e l a tt e r . being, imprisonment for months, including solitary confinement at various portions i of that p er i o d, no t ex ceeding two months. It , s understo o d t h a t p r i va t e Mathewson objects altogether to the l ega lity o f the proceedings of the Court-martial by which he was tried and sentenced, on the ground tbat he was tried by the name of Thomas Mathewson, while his proper name is John Thomas Mathewson; and it is stated that a re port of the objections he has made was to be forwarded, as yesterday, to the Horse Guards. It i s a l so b e li eve d that formerly that objection would have been fatal to the proceedings, but since every man entering th e arm y h as latterly had a number given him, by which he is alone known and tried, it is considered that th e o bj ec ti on w ill not stand good, although it is said that one or two of the 12th Lancers have got off throagh h av i ng b ee n tried in a wrong name. Viscount St. Lawrence, the officer, or Lieutenant, by whom Mathewson's charge was signed left the b ar racks yesterday morn i ng w i t h t h e other men, who had be en left behind for th e p ur p ose o f the court-martial, en ro ute to Join the re g i men t, so th a t t selongi the prisoner to th e 1 2t h Lancers, now prison er M at h ewson. Bot h the only soldier of the 7th H uss ars now remaining at theofficers Hounslow and Barracks men at tatthiee part thenedatthey have had to act in the m a tt er , an d are barracks, appear to be in no way pleased very shy at all questions put to them by civilians. A few days will, however, show whether the objections taken by Mathewson to the legality of his sentence are valid or not. SHIPPING. , hazy. LONDON, S d S., w light breeze, and DEAL, OCT.
