DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 13.—The prevailing sickness, Itshieh we mentioned last week, in our number of the 7bh, is, we are sorry to report, rather increasing than diminishing, probably in consequence of the return of the hot weather ; the number of deaths this week is greater than in the preceding. With respect to the sick we must confine ourselves to those in k ublic insti tutions, since the number of sufferers in private houses is quite unknown to us. In the two hospitals 240 addi tional patients were brought in, and 179 discharged, as sufficiently recovered, and 23 had died ; so that the number has increased this week by 18. The Gazette de Cologne sap, " it has been announced for some time, that a measure will shortly appear, pro-' hibiting the exportation of corn from the territory of the Zollverein. We can hardly credit this statement. Before adopting such a measure, the Cabinets will reflect twice ; for acts of rigour will lead to reprisals, and be sides there is nothing at present to justify the panic, which some persons seek to excite, with regard to the failure of the potato crops. The Government of the Hesse Cassel has just adopted $ strange measure, which carries back the science of political economy to the darkness of the middle ages. It has prohibited dealing in corn in the territory of the Electorate, declaring that every purchase of corn for resale shall be considered as forestalling, and punished as such ; the purchasers shall be arrested, and the corn seized. If we may believe the German journal s several condemnations have already taken place. THE HAGUE. SEPT. 11.—This morning a courrier left the Hague with dispatches for his Majesty the King. His Majesty is expected at Weimar:on the 16th of this month, and will return to the Hague about the 20th. Some days afterwards his Majesty will go to Limburg. ZIERIKZEE, SEPT. 11.—We have at present no very unfavourable reports respecting the disease in the pota toes in these islands. It is true, indeed, that it exists here, in a greater or less degree , but, on examination, it is found that the fears expressed at the first moment were greatly exaggerated. - AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 14.—1 t is affirmed that the Government has a new penal code, quite ready to be presented entire to the States-General at the com mencement of the next session. Next to the penalty of death, as we hear, is that of imprisonment for life in the House of Correction, solitary confinement introduced, the maximum of which is fifteen years. No corporal punishment, no exposure in the pillory, no transporta tion, is admitted into this code. LEWARDEN, SEPT. 12.—The number of steam boats from London to Harlingen, and back, which were hitherto two, namely, the Magnet and Rapid, has been increased to three—the Mountaineer, Captain C. A. Spence. The exportation of butter and cattle is quite astonishing. In consequence of the extraordinary heat, which has been this week at 80 deg. Fahrenheit, many shrubs are again in flower, and in several parts of the province the fruit trees are in bloom for the second time. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SHEEENESS, SEPT. 15.—The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesey, Lord Cla rence Edward Paget, Captain Whitmore, and several officers of the Royal Engineers. arrived here about 12 o'clock to-day in the Black Eagle steam-vessel from Woolwich, on a visit of 'inspection of the fortifications. His Grace and party were received very privately, there being not above a dozen spectators besides the Com mander-in-Chief of the station, Vice-Admiral Sir Edward King, KOJI., Major Walpole of the Rifle Brigade, Captain Gould of the Ocean, and one or two ether naval and military officers, who were in waiting to receive them. No guard of honour was in attendance, nor was there any salute from the flag-ship: all went off as quietly as though the visit had been from the hum blest individual in the War-office. Having disappointed the denizens yesterday by their non-arrival, few were looking out for them to-day. His Grace and party landed at the Ordnance stairs about a quarter past 12 o'clock, and immediately proceeded to view the neighbouring fortifications, ascending the steps near Admiralty-house, and going over all the works surrounding the garrison, where entering the Admiral's carriage and one or two post-chaises which had been in attendance since yesterday, they drove along the dockyard wall, taking a cursory view of the new battery and mnsketry walls now in course of erection opposite. In crossing the drawbridge to Mile-town his Grace was enabled to view the land defences in that situation, and now in course of enlargement and repair. Driving rapidly through Mile-town, they soon reached the Telegraph bill, about two or three miles distance, which they in spected minutely, with a view, it is said, of recommend ing a fort to be erected thereon, it being considered the strongest position in the island. In returning from the hill they had an excellent view of the dockyard, the harbour, and the several defences, and we understand that his Grace, as well as the Marquis, expressed their entire approbation of the plan of them. On the return to the garrison about two o'clock they were again re ceived by the Vice-Admiral, Sir Edward King, who in vited them to partake of luncheon at Admiralty-house, but this was declined, and his Grace and party imme diately proceeded to the Ordnance wharf, where, enter ing the barge of the Commander-in-Chief, they were, with him, conveyed on board the Black Eagle, which soon afterwards sailed for Chatham. His Grace is to inspect the fortifications there this afternoon, and after wards to proceed to Walmer Castle, vid Maidstone. Captain Arthur, C. 8., the superintendent of the dock yard, and Colonel Thomson, Royal Engineers, were prevented waiting on his Grace from indisposition. APPOINTMENTS. William Wood, Lieutenant, America ; Henry Harvey, Mate, ditto • Thomas Weston, Midshipman, Sidon ; Frederick V. Nundi, Naval Cadet, Victory ; Richard Batchelor, Clerk, Sidon ; Edward Deely, 2d Engineer, Bulldog ; George Kaye, Ist Engineer, ditto. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—The Fairy steam yacht has been to Cowes this day to attend on her Majesty. The Victoria and Albert yacht is preparing to return her stores, &c., and to be laid up for the winter, as it is understood her Majesty and the Royal Family will not use her again this year. Her Majesty will leave Osborne House for Windsor on Saturday or Monday. When the Duke of Wellington visited this port a few days since, in company with the Marquis of Anglesey, the Master-General of the Ordnance, brief as was his visit, his Grace did not fail to observe the extremely ex posed situation of the Government establishments on the Gosport side of this harbour, which have fewer defences than any other establishments along the coast. It would be utterly useless to arm the entrance to the harbour for the protection of the establishments on either side of it, as such defences as now exist, and are daily receiving increased strength, are, notwithstanding their apparently impregnable character, wholly inadequate to the protection of the most important establishments— viz., the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, arid the dockyard opposite. These establishments, than which there are none other of so much import ance in the kingdom, or so essential to its efficient defence, are at present greatly in want of defences ; .for, although on one side the harbour we have the Platform. battery, Southsea Castle, and the King's Bastion, all well mounted with heavy ordnance, and on the other side Blockhouse and Moncton Forts, also heavily mounted, and although other strong works are progressing at the harbour's mouth, yet no defence whatever exists at the most accessible poiut of the coast between Fort Moncton and Calihot Castle, Stoke's Bay, where, supposing for argument's sake, an enemy suc cet,ded in making a landing, they might collect unop. posed, and march without fear of disturbance to the rear of the Clarence-yard, and commit irreparable damage to that national storehouse and the dockyard opposite before any effectual force could cross the water or-assemble in the vicinity for their defence. Thus, al though the front door of this important arsenal is sarongly guarded, the back door is left open and without a watchman. It is to provide against so glaring an oversight in the erection of efficient works of defence for this most important station that the works at the maga zinea at Priddy's Hard are being strengthened, and new f)iti6cations thrown up, and that a battery for long guns of the heaviest metal is immediately to be erected in a suitable situation, to sweep the approach to Stoke's Bay east and west. This we aro assured has been ordered, and we sincerely trust it is correct, as, whatever tends to strengthen our insular position, removes the chance of hostilities with others. The Board of Admiralty are to leave Devonport this day, and proceed to Pembroke Dockyard, to inspect the new docks, building-slips, marine barracks, and the for tifications constructing on the redommendation of the committee of officers, viz., the late Colonel Sir G. poste, R. E., Colonel Mercer, and Captain Sir T. Hastings, who have been appointed by the Master-General aaf the Ordnance to examine into the state of the de finices of and near the several dockyards, and who Stsoecially called attention to the defenceless and ex posed condition of Pembroke-yard, where the greater part of the ground is occupied in building-slips, and also than the troops • employed for the protection of the arsens,l have not any barracks, but are accommodated in an aid hulk, the Dragon ; and particularly that there was an entire want of artillery fortification. Since this report has been mode, measures have been taken to erect batteries, and to place the walls of the dockyard in a proper state of defence. The Board of A dmiralty expect to conclude their official du ties at the on tports this week, and resume their places at the Admiralt.,v on Monday next. Their Lordships have signified to neveral captains and commanders, who hare solicited appointments to ships and sloops, that not any vessels wit be put in commission at present, as the late Government left office with about two thousand snore seamen employed than the number voted in the estimates. Hence, until the Castor, Samarang, Tyne, Wasp, and a few others, aro paid off, nothing of any importance will be brought forward. The Amphitrite, Trincomalee, Cambrian, Java, and Alfred, at this port, are all nearly ready for officers and men. Her Majesty's steamer Bulldog his been prevented going to sea by the want of engineers, both those be , longing to her being sick ; and, also, in consequence of er engines being, at noon this day, discovered to be out of order. On gesting her steam up, and preparing to go out of harbour, it was found that a vacuum could not be formed, and it is suspected that the screws of the pipes have been meddled with. Workmen from the metal-mills have been sent off 'to endeavour to rectify th e injury. Engineers from Woolwich were to have been down this afternoon, but, should they arrive, the -vessel cannot go to sett this evening. The verdict of the coroner's jury on the marine -celery soldier, who destroyed himself on Sunday Irning while on sentry, was " Temporary insanity.' The Aid lighter, with stores, sailed for Deyonport and I'ol nbroke yesterday. T . 'he Falmouth lighter sailed to-day for Woolwich with at T h e e Drake lighter sailed today for Chatham, with a nu Tof artisans, from the copper foundry in this yard, to b e et iiploxed at that place, where a new foundry is °so , tlist h ed, intended to supersede the one at this yard, TILE SUN, and to which, it is believed, the whole establishment is to be removed from here. _ - DEVONPORT, SEPT. 15.—Yesterday the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the Royal Naval and Military Free School was - performed by the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right Hon. the Earl of Auckland, G.O B. At ten o'clock in the morning a procession started from the Town-hall, attended by the band of the Royal Marines, and headed by seamen and marines, bearing flags and banners. They were followed by the infant school, girls' school, boys' school, subscribers, friends, and committee ; officers of the navy and army, visitors, commissioners of Devonport, superintendent of police, mayor, magistrates, and Town Council of Devonport, members of Town Council of Plymouth, architect, con tractors, the clergy and ministers of all denominations. The Earl of Auckland and the other Lords of the Admi ralty were immediately preceded by Captains and Com manders R.N. in commission, Colonels and Majors of regiments, Commandants Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery, Colonel Beatty, Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, Captain Sir T. Fellowes, C. 8., Major-General the Hon. H. Murray, and Port-Admiral Sir John West. On reaching the ground in King-Street, the Rev. W. R. Payne, the chaplain in ordinary, offered prayer. The stone was then lowered in its place, and adjusted by his Lordship in the usual manner. After the children had sung the national anthem, the Earl of Auckland, ad dressing the Worshipful the Mayor of Devonport, said, that however much he had been -pleased on Saturday, by the honour which then devolved on him of laying the foundation•stone of the great national undertaking at Morice-town, still that pleasure was surpassed by his feelings on the present occasion, when the moral and spiritual education of those brave defenders of their country, her seamen and soldiers, was so deeply con cerned. He had always taken a sincere and lively in terest in the education of the people, especially in that system which was entirely free from sectarianism ; and he now most heartily congratulated the Mayor of De vonport, and those gentlemen' who had actively pro moted the present measure, on the successful result which had attended their efforts ; and concluded by saying that be should esteem it as a honour and a pri vilege to be allowed to enrol his name in the list of sub scribers to the institution. Mr. Blackmore, the Mayor of Devonport, having in suitable terms, acknowledged his Lordship's address, the band of the Royal Marines played the national anthem, and the ceremony, which was attended by a vast con course of persons, concluded. In the afternoon the Lords of the Admiralty visited the sail-lofts in her Majesty's dockyard, and witnessed the result of some experiments on sail-cloth that had been previously saturated with a preparation. The canvass, which was quite rotten in consequence, parted with a very small amount of force. Their Lordship's then went on board her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Milne, in Hamoaze, and minutely inspected that fine vessel. In the evening they patronized a ball at Elliott's Royal Hotel, given in aid of the funds of the Female Orphan Asylum at Stoke. The front of the hotel was brilliantly illuminated with a handsome star and the letters "V. A." The ball was attended by a fashionable company, and being crowded to excess, no doubt contributed a handsome sum towards the newly erected institution. NOTICE TO MARINERS. THE DEVIL'S ROCKS-WESTERN ISLAND, The following has been trrnsmitted at Lloyd's : Extract from the log of the brig Packet, Wm. Squire, R.N., Commander, on her voyage from Mauritius to London. SUNDAY, Ana. 23, 1846.—At 1.30 A.M. saw the Devil's Rocks, bearing W.S.W., distance half cable's length ; the rocks appearing in three distinct ridges from so to 100 feet in length, and about 10 feet in breadth, the eastern and western ridges forming like a cockscomb, the whole surrounded by large bodies of kelp or seaweed ; the shoal water appearing to extend about two miles from the coast. The latitude and longi tude in the chart appeared quite correct. MEM.—Theso rocks are in the direct Channel course from the Western hien ds.l STATIONS of the BRITISH ARMY ON THE IST OF SEPTEMBER.

INSECURITY OF POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.— A correspondence has taken place between a gentleman in Scotland and the public authorities on the insecurity of post-office money-orders, the substance of which may be interesting to our readers. The- gentleman referred to having had occasion for tome post-office money-orders, was struck with the apparent mystery of the forms, and at the same time with the fact that this mystery gave no security whatever against fraud. The mystery consists in the order for payment bearing no name, but that it is to be paid to the person named in a separate letter from the post-office people, in which also is the name of the sender. Now, supposing a per son to steal a letter containing a money-order, he finds the name of the person who is to receive the money on the back, and that of the sender in the letter. He has, therefore, only to write the name of the receiver, and give the name of the sender, and the money is paid to him. Indeed, the officials at the window are not very particular in inquiring whether they pay to the right party or not. To render money orders secure, the gen tleman prepared certain simple forms, and submitted them to the post-office authorities at Edinburgh, prepa ratory to replying to letters from the Treasury and the General Post-office. These authorities frankly admitted the defect of the existing forms, and the efficacy of the form proposed; but they stated, verbally, some difficulties in the way of their adoption, to remove which seemed to the gentleman referred to, quite easy. In order, how ever, to enable him clearly to show how the difficulties could be removed, he requested a statement of them in writing. Thq answer to this request was neither a com pliance nor a refusal, but an advice to apply to the Lon don authorities. This evasion is characteristic of office. But until those who have the management of post-office c :ncerns show a little moro desire for improvement in a most important department, the public are not one whit more secured against fraud by a post-office order as it is, than if the names of the sender and receiver were written on the order so full length. The make-believe of the authorities may be said to be a mere deception— professing to give security where none is given. Their refusal to listen to any improvement not suggested by some of themselves will of course surprise no one. At all the theatres of Paris a number of men are regularly engaged by the management to applaud all the pieces performed, and all the actors and actresses. From a process before one of the Law Courts the other day, it appears that at the Theatre do l'Ambigu-Co inique (one of the minor theatres of the Boulevards) a regular mercantile company was formed for the purpose of doing the applauding business. The rage for com panies is certainly great now-a-days ; but it was hardly to be expected that the claque of a theatre would be put into a company, and divided into shares. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING,_ SEPTEMBER 17, 1846 THE INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES OF RENFREWSHME. THE PAISLEY SHAWL. (From the Renfrewskire Advertiser.) Sir Walter Scott, who has left no single point of our nationality undeveloped in the course of his wondrous weavings of fictitious tissues, has more than once referred with something of that proud feeling which was mani fested in his roused enthusiasm, to products of the Paisley loom. • Since the mighty magician-thus sported with the sub ject, mighty changes have been effected, such as to place the Paisley shawl, ,not only in a much nearer approxi mation for excellence to the Indian, but improvements and facilities in the various arts connected with its pro duction have been pushed to such an extent es to occa sion as great a discrepancy in favour of the Paisley shawl, in point of the cost of production, as there for merly was in favour of the Indian in point of compara tive value. The Indian is, nevertheless the parent shawl, and having been favoured with some remarks on the Indian, French, and Paisley shawl manufactures, we avail ourselves of these to detail some interesting facts re specting them. The Indian loom, excepting the four-leafed mounting and treddles, is stated to be different in every particular from either the French or Paisley machine; having no harness, no boxes on the lay, no pluck-pin, no pirns, no shuttles. Everything in connexion with it, although' the work of a mechanic, is clumsy, rude, and primitive in appearance, but on the whole better adapted to the In dian mode of weaving than either the Paisley or the French loom. Even in the rude state in which we find the mechanical operations of the natives of Cashmere in the art of weaving, they still stand, as they have stood for generations, unrivalled by any other nations in the world in the highest branch of the art, that of producing the pattern. The knowledge of their way of procedure is extremely limited, alike from want of European inter course, and from their practice of packing up their uten sils on the approach of strangers, and removing to some unseen and unmolested spot, for they work in the open air, under a climate and on a soil alike favourable to the advancement of manufactures, amidst a country rich in romantic scenery, watered by numerous streams, blessed with abundance of produce. At the foot of their hills, covered with forests and pastures, are corn fields and orchards, with mulberry trees (the support of the silk worm) clustered with vines. The meadows of the valley are famous for flowers ; the rose and violet of Cashmere grow wild ; but there are gorgeous gardens, groves, and fountains throughout this regi sn, which the natives call " the flower garden of India," " the paradise of the world." Sixteen thousand looms, employing three workmen each, were at work in this region, while the trade in shawls was yet in a flourishing condition, and before their conquerors had imposed the present heavy customs on the natives. The remains Of art amongst them, at once splendid and gigantic, seem to intimate their present rude condition to be a dege neracy from the past. And while we regard them as the parents of the art of design, though the fertility of their imagination is still the theme of wonder, the origin of their art is lost in antiquity. In one sense, indeed, we need never be at a loss for the source of that inspiration which we may term the im pulse of the textile muse, when we recal the glowing scenery of their lovely vale. The females of Cachmere were once celebrated over all India, and still, though the natives have fallen uuder the despotism of tyrants, they are not surpassed in natural grace, and as brunettes are celebrated for the whiteness and regularity of their teeth, and the brilliancy of their almond-shaped eyes, softened by long black lashes. The refinements and accomplishments of superior civilisation, which may have commended them to the luxurious tastes of Asiatic potentates, are, however, gone. And even the men, though characterised by broad, brawny shoulders, and strongly marked features, have, under the influence of foreign oppression and barbarity, sunk from a state of enlightenment into slavish timidity and insolence. So far as regards habits of life, - customs, religion, local government, they have maintained their primitive national institutions. Amongst them the law of caste is strictly maintained, so that they abide by the here ditary trades or occupations of their families, and are forbid to connect themselves in marriage with any but those of their own caste. So that, amongst other in veterate habits and prejudices which they cherish, the continued use of their rude, unimproved, and clumsy work-looms have been especially maintained. It is stated, however, that they have, in other branches of art, shown an anxiety to imitate our models, and have done so successfully ; so that, should their opportunities of European intercourse be increased (of which there was at one time a prospect,) our mechanical improvements may be adopted, as far as practicable, with their mode of weaving. It is, however, anticipated that in proportion as the French and British improve ments may be introduced—dispensing with the tedious and expensive practice of looping the weft—the higher department of art, in which the natives of Cashmere presently excel, runs a chance of being neglected for the sake of meeting the increased demand, arising from the reduction in the cost of their goods. The shawls woven in the open air by the Cashmere peasantry are composed of a substance totally different from the stuffs generally used in Paisley for similar parposes, and have no affinity in quality or appearance to silk, cotton, or what is usually understood by woollen or worsted yarns. The Cashmere is taken from the goat, which is a native of Thibet and Tartary, the only countries in which it is said to thrive. These animals are fed and tended with the greatest care, as the fineness and quality of their fleece, in a great measure, depend on their treatment, and are even influenced considerably by the tempera. ture of the climate. They are shorn once a year, and it is only the finest quality of the wool that can be used in the shawls. A full-grown goat does not yield more than eight ounces that can be appropriated to that purpose. The most that is with certainty known of the different stages of this manufacture is, that all the pro cesses, from the spinning of the wool to the finishing of the cloth, are performed by the members of one family ; and that the dyeing of the colours, of which they have upwards of forty shades, forms a part of the house hold duty. The French loom, the general and recent introduction of which has effected such a revolution in the Paisley shawl trade, is both simpler and more effective than either the Indian or Paisley plan—where the Paisley lay is substituted for the plain lay of the French. Still the French have advantages over us, in respect of possessing a command of card paper four times cheaper than with us ; and also in the art of design, in which we have scarely done much more than copy them since we began to use the Jacquard. Previous to that time, however, and under the operations of the Paisley loom proper, we could set patterns at one-fourth the cost incurred in pre paring patterns for the jacquard. Our productions will evidently fall short of those of the French designer, until the art of design shall have made, under the auspices of our Government, as much advancement in connexion with manufactures as it has done in France, under the anxious and watchful attention of the French Govern ment, now continued for many years. Our pattern drawers have much progress yet to make in the prac tical knowledge of art itself ; they have even to study weaving and manufacturing more attentively before we can equal in perfection the French designer. The latter in variably makes it his business to obtain a knowledge of the jacquard loom previous to entering'the school of design; and a jacquard machine was for years after its invention (the story of which is familiarly known to every one) kept in the French schools of design, for the purpose of conveying the requisite information. Even after the pupil has passed through the school of design, he is re quired-to devote six months to the theory of manufac ture, and, while at the school itself, must pass two hours daily in studying the application of the design to the machine, chiefly under the direction of persons whose exclusive business it is to instruct these young artists to transter upon ruled, or what we call design, paper, the patterns they have produced. Under these circum stances, the art of design in France, which, previous to the year 1808, was at a comparatively low ebb, while trade was limited and uncertain, has become, since that period, and more particularly sinco 1814-15, when the jacquard was much improved and fairly established, superior to all that British artists and British capital could attempt, owing chiefly to the increased numbers of young men devoting their talents to the production of shawl patterns. It is this artistic advantage alone which bestows its peculiar feature of distinction on the French over the British pattern, and renders the French decidedly the best imitators of the Indian shawl. One Ching is certainly true, the French spare neither labour nor expense in main taining this position. More than one-half of the goods imported from India to this country are purchased by French merchants or their agents, for patterns ; and as a proof of the estimation in which the productions of the east are held by them, "To nature and Cashmere," is a byword of the artists of Lyons. Not only so, but in 1820 it was discovered that the French had not only gone the length of importing and making their shawls of Cashmere wool, but that Cashmere goats were rearing in France. _ . Meanwhile the progress of the Paisley shawl manu facture has not been short of a ma rve l, cons id er i ng the pitch it has attained, deprived of almost all these advan tages. Forty years ago there was not a shawl loom in Paisley. And except an attempt m a d e at t h e close of the 18th century to imitate the Indian shawl in Edin burgh, similar to what was doing in Norwich and Stock port, nothing was done to cultivate the bran c h o f art. Some of the English goods, it is stated, were sent to Paisley for the inspection of several manufacturer s , b ut the muslin trade being then good, it was conceived that shawls as a fancy article would be of a short-lived cha racter, and few accordingly were they that engaged in them. It was Mr. J. Paterson who first embarked in the business with ingenuity and perseverance, attended by suc cess sufficient to establish the trade in the locality, and prevent its being transferred to some other Tauter. He was followed by others. But the operatives, from the expense of erecting a shawl-loom, and the length of time required to put it in a working condition, were many of them long deterred from entering on this branch of business. The decay of the muslin trade and reduction of the price of labour, impelled them at length to turn their attention to the shawl trade, and it was not long ere it proved the more important of the two. The well-known intelligence, perseverance, and indus try of our operatives conquered every difficulty ; and serious as the outlay of money might appear to them, few hesitated to engage in the business. In a short time the shawl trade began to develope itself into dif ferent branches. Shawls were made in spun silk, soft silk, and in cotton, as well as in mixtures of all the three. These goods, however, did not possess the ap pearance, nor did they feel as soft as the peculiar con struction of the Asiatic loom. To remedy this a stuff was made from the admixture ,of soft wool and worsted. The approximation, however,' was not quite so com plete as was desirable. About 1820, Messrs. Gibbs and M'Donald, of Edinburgh, introduced a wool from Van Diemen's Land for shawl manufacture, and along with it a style of figure and arrangement which placed them foremost in the m ar k e t f or many years . In 1830 they also produced admirable imitations of rich Indian shawls, made from Cashmere wool, bringing the manu facture to the highest point it had ever attained in this country. The gorgeous patterns of Paisley have since put out the Edinburgh shawls, which the national taste seems at the time of their introduction to have been inadequate to appreciate, since it was in France that the great demand existed for them .for several years, and indeed there is still a limited call from thence for these shawls. The inefficient construction of the weaving loom in use amongst the operatives of Edinburgh, and their unwillingness to improve it, is one strong reason why the attempts made in the city to establish the manufacture of rich shawls failed. In 1824-25, the Messrs. Millar, of Paisley, attempted the production of shawls more closely resembling the Cashmere than anything as yet produced in the place. Phey procured Cashmere of native growth, together .vith English materials nearly similar, employed a Frenchman to superintend their work, and built a fac tory where they could carry it on in secrecy. The ope rations of this respectable 'firm were closed in conse quence of the commercial panic of 1826-27 ; but to their superintendent belongs the credit of introducing the .louble ground, or two backs, as it is called, which, while it adds beauty to the fabric, enables more colouring to be thrown into the pattern, as well as a saving in the cost of the production recommending it to the general practice of our manufacturers. The double back oply improved the ground, but the tweeling of the spotting or colours which form the pattern—a still more impor tant improvement afterwards introduced by the Messrs. Walker, was a positive advance in design. A protracted demand for bordered goods ensued in consequence of the increased beauty of the patterns produced by this im provement of the Messrs. Walker. On the revival of business, in 1828, several houses commenced the making of wool shawls, and amongst the rest Mr. Robert Kerr, after repeated failures, suc ceeded ; and for two or three years Thibet shawls became the staple article of the trade. These shawls were of plain grounds, with figured borders, woven separately and sewed on. For the last ten or twelve years there have been greater diversities of style in the goods produced, accompanied by the introduction of improved facilities fcr their manufacture. Our manu facturers and pattern-drawers have seen the necessity of paying more attention to the varied styles of India and 'of France. From these sources enriching their ideas and invigorating their fancy, they have been led to adopt better methods of colouring and contrast. Our patterns in consequence, possess a degree of taste which does them infinite credit. The Messrs. Roxburgh, in parti cular, infused a spirit of emulation into many of our drawers, by showing year after year the spirited effects capable of being produced by a series of styles of pat terns of increased dimensions. The Messrs. Roxburgh have thus eminently contributed to raise the state of de sign to its present condition amongst us. The necessity for establishing the School of Design in Paisley, for which a spirited subscription is now in pro gress, will be more than manifest from this outline of the difficulties through which our shawl trade has strug gled, and in spite of which it has so far triumphed. Let our youths possess the proper means of instruction, and receive sufficient encouragement to prosecute their ' studies in the art of design in connexion with manufac tures, and we may safely . answer for our shawl trade soon evincing that it contains not only the elements of its own improvement and extension, but embodies the means of improving the condition of our whole,com munity. One difficulty which our trade has overcome is that of the introduction of the jacquard loom, not withstanding its cost, as well as the expense of setting up the pattern to be worked by it, the card-paper for which costs alone seldom less than 601. for a single pattern, and often 1001.—Government deriving a duty thtreon of 20 per cent. At present there are consequently several houses making square and long shawls in Paisley, which resemble more closely the Indian fabric than any ever before manufactured here. The shawls now manufactured are indeed to the most superficial observer, an astonishing contrast in their superiority of design and beauty of execution to those made ten years ago. The lady of a distinguished M. P. returning from the Continent lately with two of these shawls, a long and a square, both of Paisley manufacture, in her possession, had them seized for French at the Custom-house. It was in vain that their Paisley origin was insisted upon. The officers would not, and could not, believe it, until Mr. Kerr's agent went down to them, and exhibiting the pattern, relieved the property of the honourable member's lady from the consequences of this somewhat earnest tribute to our manufacturing success. A harness finished shawl, two parts white, was shown us, which, when in London, Mr. Kerr's superintendent found the French themselves had copied. Entering a shawl emporium, he chanced to make some recognition of the pattern; but learned to his astonishment that the shawl in question was French. It was afterwards ascertained that the French had strictly copied this production, Mr. Kerr's number for it being 28, the French 113. EXTENSIVE FORGERY OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. On Saturday last a female of respectable appearance and connexions was examined:before the Norwich magis trates on a charge of forging a considerable number of Bank of England 51. notes. The name of the prisoner is Sarah Hannah Barker ; she had been remanded from the previous Wednesday, The following account will be found to contain the substance of the long examina tions : About a year since the prisoner's grandfather died, and left her a legacy of one hundred and twenty pounds ; this sum she placed - partly in the East of England and pattly in the Savings' Bank, and having no other resources, owing to circumstances which will appear in the course of this narrati ve , h a d been hying on it ever since. About half this sum had been thus expended. On Wednesday last she went to the East of England Bank, and laid down upon the counter her deposit receipt book, and 501. in alleged Bank of England notes, which she requested might be placed to her credit. At the first glance the clerk saw that they had not the usual signat ure ; thi s i n d uce d a more minute inspection, when he discovered that the numbers of all were exactly alike. In all other respects the imitation was perfect, and might easily have de ceived a less experienced eye. Knowing rrom these cir cumstances that they must be forgeries, the prisoner was police proc ee d e d t o searc h in Cross-lan e , St. G eorge ' s giventhe Colegate. In her house was fou n d a b un dl e o f notes h into use o c f u custody, d y , prisoner, and lying under the table--about 30 in number—in course of manufacture—some Just begun —some spoiled, and others nearly completed. A good Bank of England note was also found, and the thirty, as well as the ten presented at the bank, were all excellent imitations of this good note. One forged note—and only one—was found with a signature attached. The copies were done in pen and ink, and had been traced up at a chamber window ; she had frequently been observed by the neighbours tracing at her window, b u t th e y con sidered it was to obtain patterns of fancy needle work. This quite accorded with the habits of the prisoner, who lived very secluded, and when she ap peared abroad had a very lady-like bearing. The ap pearance of the forged paper was very close indeed to the original ; it bad, of course, no water-mark. The East of England Bank had made a communication of the circumstance to the Governor of the 13ank of England, awl he had requested one to be sent to him for inspec tion. Mr. Staff, the town clerk, also stated that Mr. Freshfield had sent to him for a copy. In order to know what steps the Bank of England would take, the case was further remanded. Several of the ma gistrates believed that the prisoner was insane this belief was induced by two circu ms t ances . I t seems that she had recently a warrant issued against her for non-payment of poor rates, and when the officer called to levy a warrant which had been issued against her, she attempted to stab him. At that time the feeling of the Bench was in favour of her in sanity—so much so that one of the magistrates (Mr. 11. Bainbrolte) paid the demand for her. And, further, the very act of offering at the Bank what she knew to be forged notes, without even a signature, was evidence of either very great commercial ignorance, or of insanity. Mr. Gould and Mr. N. Palmer thought no insane person would execute notes so correctly, and apply for payment with her deposit-book without intending to pass them ; she might, indeed, be IgnOrant of the necessity for dif ferent numbers, and a signature for the validity of a note ; but this was not insanity. There is little doubt but that the prisoner will be fully committed for trial for the above offence after her final examination. She is known to no one in Norwich except Mr. Havers, of St. Paul's, whose mother her father married. She was born in Norwich, and afterwards went to live with an uncle in London ; here she fell in love with a clergyman, and offered to go off with him, if he would marry her. The amour reached the ears of her uncle, who sent her away to Norwich, where she has resided and lived on the legacy above-mentioned. Mrs. Havers says she still believe her grandfather is not dead; he only sleep s , s h e contends, and she wishes to have him taken up, that he may live with her. No evideaee can be ascertained of her offering any notes to other individuals.—Bu r y Herald. Daniel Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, was, a short time ago, employed to trace out and apprehend William Thomas Power, who stands charged with having, with others, defrauded the Clonmell National Bank, of which he was an accountant, of money to the amount of upwards of 13,0001. The vigilant London officer, accompanied by Patrick Enright, a Clonmell constable, who knew the person of Power, proceeded with the warrant, backed by the Lord Mayor of London, to the Continent, and acting with his accustomed saga city found that the object of his pursuit was at Munich, to which place he went as rapidly as possible. Power had assumed the name of Thomas Poisk, and was sud denly captured by Forrester, who will bring him to this country, and from hence convey him to Ireland. The prisoner had absconded f.tom the bank in December, and the warrant and other documents necessary to legalise his apprehension was signed on the 15th of August. MALES AND FEMALES BATHING AT NEWPORT UNITED STATES. -_A correspondent of the 13eston Transcript writes thus from Newport on the subject of bathing :—" I had my prejudices against the custom of both sexes bathing t oget h er, b ut on see i ng the fun at Newport, my antip a th y against the fashion was much removed. The s i g h t is p i cturesque , certainly. Fancy an encamp ment o f I n di ans , o r rather Gip seys, divested of th e b o i l i ng pot , an d you have the scene previous to immersion. You cannot tell the gentlemen from the ladies ; and, in fact, it is difficult to distinguish the members of your own family. The gents wear red flannel tunics, duck pants, and straw hats; the ladies tunics and pantalettes of the same colour, with white collars and wristbands, and straw hats also. There are as many as 150 bathing houses. You enter on one side, and go on to the beach from the other, all equipped to act the part of sea nymphs, or aught else that might seem an appropriate character. It is really very exciting to behold the fun." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Elizabeth Pollard, a lodger in a house in St. Mary Axe, which is let out in tenements, was brought before Alder man Wilson, charged with having acted in violation Of the 41st clause of the 2d and 3d of Victoria, cap. 71, by keeping part of the house in which she so resided in a filthy •and unwholesome condition. - The owner of the house had, it appeared, found it ne cessary, in consequence of the tenant's disinclination to pay, and her very disagreeable domestic habits, to make importunate demands upon her for rent, as the only practicable mode of getting rid of her altogether. Irri tated by such a course of proceeding, she was determined to retaliate the annoyance upon all the other lodgers, in the most intolerable way, in order to compel them to leave the house in which she was so unwelcome a resident. The landing place and stairs near her room bore testimony to her skill in violating the particular clause, and the common sewer was compared to them with decided advantage to the latter. In the fear that the health of the rest of the inhabitants would be injured it the defendant were allowed to indulge her whim, it had been thought necessary to try what the Police Act would do with such an offender. The defendant did not deny the accuracy of the charge, but said that the misunderstanding arose from a dispute as to the amount of the rent due to the landlord, whom she did not consider herself bound to accommo date by any nice attention to any part of his house. The landlord said that, as the Alderman might readily suppose, the rent was no object, in comparison with the removal of the parent of such a nuisance, and he would if she forthwith departed forgive not only the rent, but all that had hitherto been done. The defendant, upon the recommendation of the Alderman, acceded to the proposition of the landlord, and promised to deliver up her tenement in a clean and wholesome condition. The case led to some observations from Alderman Wilson, upon the probable efficacy of a new Act of Par liament, if acted upon vigorously by the authorities em powered by it. The police act referred to, Alderman Wilson said appeared to him to be much too tardy in its, operation. He could not help avtiling himself of the opportunity of expres sing his gratification at the very salutary and im portant Act, which had been passed at the close of the last session of Parliament, intitled, " An Act for the more speedy removal of certain nuisances," and which, although a first and experimental carrying out of the principles and recommendations of Mr. Chadwick's in valuable sanatory report, was calculated to effect vast benefit to the community. It was his full determina tion to use his best exertions to put in motion the ma chinery afforded by the Act referred to in every loca lity where he possessed any influence or interest, and he was confident that when the facilities, which the Act furnished towards the removal of the pestiferous nuisances, which were so abundant in the metropolis, and in other parts of .the country, became known the intelligence and public spirit of all classes would be combined to carry out the excellent objects of that Act of Parliament. From the first section of the Act, it ap peared that it was competent for the town council of any corporate town, or for the commissioners of police, or the trustees for the drainage, paving, or cleansing of any town, or in case there should be no such town council, commissioners, or trustees of any borough, city, or place, then that it shall be lawful for the guardians of the poor, upon receiving a certificate in writing from two duly qualified medical practitioners of the filthy and unwholesome condition of any dwelling-house or other building, or of the accumulation of any offensive or noxious matter, or of the existence of any foul or offen sive drain, privy, or cesspool, to bring a complaint before two justices, who shall summon the owner or occupier, and unless sufficient cause shall be shown to the contrary, shall forthwith make an order in writing for the removal or abatement of the nuisance in the certificate described. There was also a provision in the Act, giving the magi strates power to excuse an occupier on the ground of poverty, and to defray the consequent necessary expenses of the removal of nuisances out of the poor rates. In making such valuable enactments the Legislature had done its duty in a manner to be most sensibly felt. It only remained, therefore, for the public bodies—the Town Councils, the Commissioners for Paving, &c., and the guardians of the poor—to do theirs. The Act was for a limited definite period, i. e. until the Ist of August, 1847, and the end of the then / next session of Parlia ment ; but there was no doubt that if found to work well its provisions would be enlarged and rendered per manent. LAMBETH: ' Mr. Lawrence, a man of respectable appearance, who described himself as a compositor in the printing establishment of Clowes and Sons,' in Duke-street, Stamford-street, applied to Mr. Elliott for his advice and assistance under the following extraordinary circum stances:— The applicant, who was accompanied by his wife, stated that on the night of the Bth of May last his wife, then present, had been forcibly carried away from her residence in the vicinity of Stamford -street, and taken to a house of ill-fame in Orchard-street, Westminster, by two men, and there used in a most shameful and shock ing manner, by two persons, the one a cow-keeper and the other an egg merchant. On the following morning at about five o'clock she was turned into the street, and made the best of her way home, but such had been her treatment that her person was covered with bruises, and her head was so affected that he was obliged to send her to Armstrong's Peckham Asylum for seven weeks. Mr. ELLIOTT, to the applicant—Have you any evidence to corroborate this statement of your wife? Applicant— Only this, that when my wife was coming away from the house to which she had been taken, and where, accord ing to her own statement, she was drugged, she was accosted by a policeman on the beat, who told her he had seen the shameful manner in which she had been used in forcing her into the house on the night before, and if she wished to proceed against the parties, whose names he knew, he would come forward and give evidence. Mr. ELLIOTT—Have you since seen that policeman? Applicant—l have not, sir, though I have taken much trouble to find him, Mr. ELLIOTT-HOW soon after returning from the Lunatic Asylum was it that your wife made this disclo sure to you of her having been so badly treated? Ap plicant—About a month, sir; but she has since seen both parties, and declares positively they are the persons who used her so shamefully. Mr. ELLiorr—Well, I must say I am somewhat sur prised at the time which has been allowed to elapse since you were made acquainted with the circumstances. Applicant—The fact, sir, is, that I have been endea vouring to find out the policeman who had seen and knew the two persons who had seduced and ill-used my wife, so as to be enabled at once to give them into custody. Mr. ELLIOTT—I cannot help thinking that the state ment of your wife is rather a singular one. Do you re collect missing her from home on the night in question? Applicant—Most certainly I did, s i r , an d saw h er the follo*ing day in a dreadful state. Besides, my wife has within the last two or three days learned from the waiter at a public-house which the parties frequent that they had been boasting there of what they had done. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that it would be desirable to , have the wife of the applicant corroborated in some es sential part of her statement before persons of respect ability and character were given into custody on so serious a charge. Police-sergeant 22. B said that on the applicant calling at the station-house he referred to the occurrence-book, and could find no entrance in May last of any such cir cumstance occurring in Orchard -street, Westminster, though it would be the duty of the constable, if he had witnessed it, to make a report of the circumstance to-his superior officer. He had also made as much inquiry into the circumstances as the time would permit, but could learn nothing of the occurrence. On that, as on other nights, the constables would be mustered at the station-house, before going on duty, and the applicant and his wife would, on attending there, have an oppor tunity of seeing each of them. Mr. ELLIOTT thought this a good suggestion, and told the applicant that when prepared with further evidence he should afford him all the assistance in his power. . WORSHIP-STREET. A few days ago a young married woman, named Ann Guest, whose face was shockingly swollen and contused, appeared before Mr. Broughton to obtain an assault warrant against her husband, a journeyman dyer, living in Whitecross-place, Finsbury. It appeared from the woman's statement that her hus band, although capable of earning a comfortable liveli hood for his family, consisting of herself and three chil dren, had for a long ti me p as t a b an d one d hi msel f to dissolute habits, not having contributed a farthing to wards their maintenance for the last three years, during the whole of which period they had been solely supported by the produce of her own labours as a silk winder. On the day preceding that on which she made her complaint, her husband returned home,in a state of intoxication, and, because she was unable to furnish him with money to procure more liquor, he commenced beating her in the most brutal manner. Mr. BItOUGHTON immediately ordered a warrant to be issued for the apprehension of the husband, and yester day being appointed for the hearing, when the case was called on, Hayward, the warrant officer, informed the magis trate that on proceeding to the house to require the de fendant's attendance, he found that the wretched man had gone before a more awful tribunal, having committed a most determined act of self-destruction. From subse- quent inquiries he ascertained that the deceased had dis played the greatest despondency ever since the departure of his wife, who had been compelled to take refuge at the house of her brother, and on the preceding day he contrived to procure a bottle of poison. the contents of which he was about to swallow, when he was detected in the act by one of the lodgers, who wrested it from him, and took it into his own apartment. He had only been there a short time, however, when he heard the fall of some heavy body in the deceased's room, and on return ing found the unfortunate man lying on the floor with his throat cut, and although medical assistance was in stantly procured, it was unavailing, as he must have died instantaneously. MARYLEBONE. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE. --Yesterday, Mary Dempsey, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having been concerned in a robbery of plate to the amount of nearly 3001., the property of James Robinson, Esq., No. 6, Ben tuck- s tree t, Manchester-square. The robbery was effected on the 12th instant, when an entry was, as it is imagined, madb by the thieves through one of th e att i c windows, facility for so doing having offered itself owing to an adjoining house un dergoing extensive repairs. A reward of 201. was im mediately offered for the apprehension of the guilty parties, and handbills were circulated throughout the various divisions of police. William Kibble, assistant to Mr. Wells, pawnbroker, Broad -street, Bloomsbury, deposed, that on the previous evening the prisoner came to the shop, and offeFed for pledge two massive silver teaspoons, upon which she asked 15s. She said they belonged to a Mrs. Kilday, who had lent them to her ; and on witness requesting her to fetch the lady in order that he might be satisfied that all was correct, she went away. In about twenty minutes she returned, saying that Mrs. Kilday had gone to the theatre. He told her he should detain her in the shop until he had made some inquiry, when she expressed her unwillingness to remain, at the same time remarking to him, that if he found anything wrong he might give her in charge. He went in a cab, taking with him the spoons, to Mr. Robertson, who, on examining them, pronounced them to be his. Ashbourne, 119 F, said that the statement made to him by the prisoner was, that as she was standing in Holborn with her basket, a female purchased of her two pennyworth of walnuts, and asked her to pledge the spoons at Mr. Jones's, close by ; but as' she had had some words with Mr. Jones, she objected to go there, and accordingly she proceeded to Mr. Wells's, and of fered the articles in the name of Kilday. Inspector Tedman said that in a short time other in formation with respect to parties implicated, and who were not yet in custody, would most likely be obtained. The prisoner was remanded for a week. FURIOUS DRIVING AND ASSAULT.--Edward Knight and George Flower were charged as follows : It appeared that on the previous evening, Knight was driving a cab at a furious rate along the Harrow-road, when the vehicle came in contact with a post, and was turned over; a person named Higgs went up to render assistance, upon which the prisoner Flower, who had got out of a cart which had been going at a dangerous rate, in order to keep up with the cab, committed upon him (Higgs) an assault. The prisoners were both given into custody. Fined 40s. each. ROBBERY OF A WATCH.—George Hyde, who stood charged with stealing a watch, the property of Elizabeth Davis, cook to Mr. Tyers, 11, Kensington-terrace, under the circumstances previously detailed, was brought up yesterday for re-examination. It will be recollected that the prisoner, who is an omnibus conductor, solemnly denied all knowledge of the prosecutrix or of her watch. In fact, his defence was, that the woman had mistaken him for another man. To-day, however, Elizabeth Tay lor, the fellow-servant of the prosecutrix, swore that the prisoner was the person with whom the prosecutrix had been keeping company. He was committed for trial. THAMES. Yesterday, two important cases, prosecuted by order of the Board of Trade, came on for hearing before Mr. Broderip. In the first case, John Driscoll, a crimp, of 87, Pen nington-street, Radcliff Highway, was charged under the 3d section of the Act for the Protection of Merchant Seamen, Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116, with supplying a seaman, named Joseph Battis, a man of colour, with a berth on board a ship, he not being duly licensed to do so by the Board of Trade, by which he had incurred a penalty not exceeding 201. Mr. Pelham, for the prosecution, said the Act pro hibited any person from interfering to procure seamen on board merchant ships, unless they were licensed by the Board of Trade. No one could plead ignorance of the Act in the port of London, because the Board had caused placards to be printed and extensively circulated, which contained the principal clauses in the Act, and cautioned all persons against offending and acting con trary to its provisions. The Earl of Clarendon, the Pre sident of the Board of Trade, was exceedingly anxious for the law to be enforced, and was determined to pro tect the merchant seamen of the country. The assistant registrar of the Board of Trade had been directed by the Noble President to attend and prove that Driscoll was not licensed by the Board. Joseph Bettis, a seaman, was then called, and although ha had been tampered with and threatened by the de fendant, he nevertheless, on being exhorted by the magistrate to tell the truth, and the whole truth, gave his evidence fairly, and stated that in March last he was accosted by the defendant in the West India Dock, who asked him what he was ? and on his in forming him that he wanted a cook's berth, the defendant shipped him as cook on board the Sir Robert Peel, bound to St. John's, New Brunswick, and some money passed between them. Mr. Lack, assistant-registrar at the office of the Board of Trade, said that no such person as John Driscoll was licensed to ship, merchant seamen. Burgess, a police-constable, stated that the words " licensed to ship seamen " were painted over the door of the house in which Driscoll lived. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was a shipping agent b e f ore t h e pass i ng of the Act, and did business with a great number of masters and owners. After the passing of the Act he did business for a li censed agent, named Beale, who lived in his house, and, after that person went to prison for debt, he continued to live in the house, and the words " licensed to ship seamen " without Beale's name, remained. He then as serted that the black man had shipped on board the Sir Robert Peel eight days before he clapped eyes upon him, and that he was engaged by a man named Lobeck. Bettis was recalled, and in answer to questions by Mr Pelham, said he did not' know Lobeck, and that Dris coll had threatened to beat him with a stick so recently as Tuesday. Mr. BRODERIP said, this was the first case under the third clause which had been prosecuted in that Court, and he was glad to hear that the Board of Trade was determined to protect seamen, and prevent their being robbed by persons like the defendant. There were great difficulties to .be encountered in prosecuting these cases and. without the intervention of the Board of Trade or the registrar of seamen, the Act would be rendered nu gatory. The case was completely made out, and he sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 51. and the costs. GREENWICH. Thomas Smith, steward of the ship Grecian, from China to London, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with the dishonest appropriation of two Canton crape shawls, twenty-four boxes of Chinese artificial flowers and butterflies, and a set of cornelian beads, the pro perty'of Captain James M`Dowall, of the above-named ship. It appeared from the statement of' Captain M'Dowall that he was taken ill at Hong Kong, and remained there after the ship had sailed for England in order to recruit his health; he desired the prisoner to take charge of the articles in question, and to deliver them to his wife on reaching England. Witness fortunately recovered, and was able to quit China by an early ship unexpectedly. The prisoner had left the ,ship, but he traced him to a house in Broomfields, Deptford, where a police-constable found part of the property. The prisoner denied that he had brought the • pro perty from the ship, or knew what had become of it; he understood that the whole of the things had been stolen from the Grecian shortly after her arrival in St. Ka therine's Dock. The police-constable had found at the prisoner's lodgings shirts, stockings, and other articles with the captain's mark on them, which had been worn by the prisoner. The prisoner said in defence that he had purchased the things produced in China, and that the captain had similar articles. Mr. TRAILL said he would remand the prisoner for a week in order to make inquiries, and further search for the remaining property, but would take bail in 401. for his appearance on that day. HAMMERSMITH. Three men of fashionable appearance, who gave their names as Wm. Barnet, tobacconist, White Lion-place, Paddington; George Davis, professional singer, Somers town; and James .111‘Lean, who refused to give his ad dress, were brought up from the Westminster Bride well, for further examination, on a charge of having committed a robbery on the premises of Mr. James Richardson, the City Barge, Strand-on-the -Green, near Kew-bridge, Chiswick. Mrs. Rachel Richardson deposed that she was the wife of Mr. James Richardson, landlord of the City Barge, Strand-on-the-Green, near Kew-bridge, in the parish of Chiswick. On the evening of Friday last, about six o'clock, witness saw three persons of respectable appear ance enter the house, and went out of the kitchen and met them at the bottom of the stairs. Finding they were going upstairs to the public room on the first floor, she went up three stairs, to see if her bed-room door was shut, which adjoined the public room. As she came down again the three persons went upstairs, and ordered fourpennyworth of gin with cold water, and a glass of ale. The prisoners Davis and M‘Lean, wit ness was sure, were two of the men. Witness sent the drink up by a little girl, her daughter, who brought a shilling down. After they had been there about a quarter of an hour witness's daughter, Elizabeth' came running down into the bar, and said, " Mother, mother," but witness was a tt en di ng to two other re spectably-dressed men who had come in, and stood at the bottom of the stairs, and did not therefore answer her; but witness's suspicions were excited by her manner, and at the same moment she fancied that she heard a rumb ling noise over head. The prisoner Davis had followed witness's daughter Elizabeth down stairs, and stood at the kitchen-door for five or six minutes. While he was standing there witness passed across the foot of the stair into the washhouse, for some hot water, when she fan cied she heard somebody at her bed-room door, and went up two or three stairs to see, and saw . the prisoner M`Lean making from the bed-room door into the front room, where the third man was sitting, in great haste, and on entering it he sat down in the first chair he came to. Witness was so agitated at what she had seen that she made hot gin and water for Davis, who had come down for another glass of 'gin and water. Davis drank the glass of gin and water without taking it up stairs, and the other two prisoners coming down stairs, Davis and them left together. Wit ness directly went up with her daughter to her bed-room, and found thd door locked as the latter had left it, but on entering and examining the drawers, she found that the gold watch produced had been stolen, and also about a pound in silver, from a basin in the drawer containing silver money. The watch was her late mother's watch, and on her recently taking it to a watchmaker's to have something done to it, he said it was worth 60 guineas. Saw very little of the third man, but thought the prisoner Barnet very like him. Witness saw the watch safe. in the drawer at ten o'clock in the morning. Further evidence having been addueed, Mr. PAYNTER said he should commit all three prisoners for trial, but as there might be a possibility of a doubt as to Barnet, he would admit him to bail, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 100/. each, 48 hours' notice of bail being first given to Inspector Morgan. The prisoners were then committed to Newgato for trial, and the witnesses were all bound over to prosecute. WRECKS ON THE THAMES.—The LORD MAYOR has given Captain Fisher, principal Harbour-master of the Port of London, directions to proceed immediately to remove three wrecks, which aro likely, if not soon taken away or destroyed, to become dangerous impe diments to the navigation of the Thames.
