• Th.:, INDUSTRIAL RESOU OF RENFREWSHIRE. THE PAISLEY SHAWL. (From the Reviews/ ire Advertiser.) Sir Walter Scott, who has left no single point of our aational:ty undeveloped in the course of his wondrous weavings of fictitious tissues, has snore 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 trench 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 parking 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 fatuous for flowers ; the rose and violet of Cashmere grow wild ; but there are gorgeous gardens, groves, and fountains throughout this regi m, 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 fleurishing 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 imagnation 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 under 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, none. 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 enlighteement 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 hate 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 limn the stuffs generally used in Paisley for similar purposes, 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 t o th e fi n i s hi ng of the cloth, are performedhy the members of one family ; and that the dyeing of the colours, of which th e y have upwards of forty shades, forms a part of e'ee house hold duty. The French loom, the general and recent introduction of which has effected such a revolution in th e P a i s l ey shawl trade, is both simpler and more effective than either the Indian or Paisley plan—wher e th e P a i s l ey lay is substituted for th e 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. Previeus 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 shell have made, under the auspices of our Governmi nt, as much advancement in connexion with manufactures as it hoe done in France, under the anxious and watchful eitention of the French Govern. ment, now centinned for many years.

Even after the pupil has pa-sed through the samee! of design, he is re quired, to devote six months to the theory of matnifiic• ture, and, while at the school itself, must pass two hours daily in studying t h e application of th e desi;sit to the machine, chietla under the direction of wh exclusive bueiness it is to instruct these y p oun ersons g artists ose to transter upon ruled, or what we call desien, paper, the patterns they have produced. Under these circum stances, the art of design is 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 since 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 thing is certainly true, the French spare neither labour nor expense in main taining this position. Mote 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, tut 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 marvel, considering the pitch it has attained, deprived of almost all these alvan taeres. Forty ye ars ago there was n o t a s h aw l l oom i n Paisley. And except an attempt made at the doe 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 branch of art. Some of the English goods, it is stated, were seat to Paisley for the inspection of several manufactureks, but the muslin trashabeing 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 quarter. He was fol!owed 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 cendition, were many of them long deterred from entering on this branch of in/sin, ss. Time 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 compered every dillicul:y ; and serious as the outlay of money might appear to them. few hesitated to engage in tie busine s s. I n a s h ort . time the sh aw l trade began to develope itself into dif ferent branches. Shawls were made in spun silk, soft silk, and in cotton, as wi 11 as in mixtures of all the three. These gods, however, did not possess the ap pearance, nor did they tel as soft, as the peculiar con struction of the Asiatic loom. To remedy this astuff" was made from the admixture of soft wool and worsted. The approximation, however, was net quite com plete as was desirable. About 1820, Messrs. Gibbs and APDonald, of Edinburgh, introduced a weal from Van Diemen's Land for shawl manufacture, and along with it a style of figure and arrangement which placed them foremost in the ir fi..),r many years. In 1830 they also Froduc , :d ..44Pruble joiz a ticwof r ic ia 1041_ CES e. d. 100 0 0 41 13 4 100 0 0 100 0 0 63 12 9 THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1846. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before THOMAS Puc KLE, Esq.) Robert Tillett, 37, and Ann Elliot, 23, were indicted for feloniously stealing a prayer-book, pair of razors, and a shaving-box, at Watlingham, in the county of Surrey, the property of Walter Satin , er. Prosecutor said that he was a labourer, and on the night of the 3d of August he slept at the Red Lion, public-house, at Watlingham, in which place the pri soners also slept. On the following morning the prisoners left the house very early, and when lye arose from his brd he mi-sad his bundle, containing the articles enume rated in the bundle. lie instantly gave information to the police, and with a constable went in search of the prisoners, who he discovered at a public-house at Bottle hill, in the county of Surrey. They were then informed of the robbery, but denied all knowledge of it, hut on being searched the prayer-book n - as found in the male prisoner's pocket, and the other articles found in his bundle. When asked to account for the possession of the property the male prisoner said that the prayer- book belonged to the female, it haling been given to her by her- mother on her death bed. As for the razors and other property, they had been in his possession many months. He (the prosecutor) however, identified the property, and gave the prisoners into custody. A police-constable of the P division produced the pro perty, and confirmed the latter part of the prosecutor's statement. On being called upon for their defence, the male pri soner asserted that he purchased the razors and box of a man in January last, and the female, said that the prayer-box was given to her by her mother. They denied most strenuously the robbery. The CHAIRMAN summed up the case to the jury, who returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the female to mercy. The female was sentu•nced to four teen days' solitary confinement, and the male prisoner to six months hard labour. William Martin, aged 19, pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging him with stealing a Meershaum pipe, the property of Frank Fordham, at'Newington. It app , •ared that on the evening of the 11th instant he entered the prosecutor's shop, and stole the pipe in ques tion off a barrel near the door. Ile was pursued, and taken into custody. In his defence he said that he was in great distress when he committed the offence. The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction three months. Edward Hunt, aged 18, pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging him with stealing a pair of shoes and stockings from a lodging-house in the Mint, Southwark, the property of John Jones, a fellow-lodger. The CHAIRMAN said that the offence was of a serious nature, that of robbing a man while in the same house; he should therefore sentence him to six months' impri sonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. 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 cf 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 determine d 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 r.,om bore testimony to her skill is violating the particular clause, and the common sewer was compared to them with decid, d advantage to the latter. In the fear that the health of the rest of the inhabitants would he 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 b. and 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 nut only the rcpt, 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 im powered by it. The police act referred to, Alderman W•lson said appeared to him to be much too tardy in its operation. He could not help av iling 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 recernmendations of Mr. Chadwick's in valuable sanatory report, was calculated to effect vast benefit t) 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 oroccupier, and unless sufficientcause shall beshown to thecontrary,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.

INSECURITY OF POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.— A. corre , pendence has taken place between a gentleman in S:coiland 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 some 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 tia} stery consists in the order for payme n t b ear i ng ne 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. Ile 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. The answer to this request was neither a coin pliance nor a refusal, but an advice to apply to the Lon• don authorities. This evasion is characteristie o of e. But until those who have the management of post-office c .ncerns show a little more desire for improvem ent i n a most important department, the public are not one whit more secured against fraud by a post-office order as it is, that if the names of the sender and receiver were written on the order at full length. The make-believe of the authorities may be said to be a mere deception— pr&essing 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. AN ELEPHANT'S DOINGS.—We learn by a gentle man of the city, who was at Lockport on Saturday, that at noon of that d a y an e l ephant b elonging to a mena gerie exhibiting there, wanted out of his tent toward a span of horses attached to a waggon some twenty rods off. The horses took fright as the huge beast ap proached them, breke loose, and ran a few rods to an angle of a fence ; the elephant followed, capsized the waggon, and threw the horses some two rods over the fence. One of the horses rose with seyt.ral broken ribs, and managed to escape his avitilant, which fell upon the other with his tusks, Ore out his entrails, and continued to toss him along the knee sane ten reds or more. At this tint, the keeper, who was at dinner when the elephant esnprd from the tent, came up, and called the animal by name. The elephant immediately obeyed the word, and followed the keeper to an orchard about a hundred rods off, where he was secured by strong chains made fast to the trunk of a full-grown tree. Just as ,iir inform;nt left in the afternoon. he heard that the elephant had uprooted the tree to which he was fastened, -nd had injured a man ; but learned no particulars. The rage of the elephant,. it is said, was cause d by some t•,bacco concealed in the food that some of the bystanders offered to him. People cannot be too c au ti ous how they trifle in such s way with att elephant,---Buffalo Con. mercial. GUILDHALL. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—James li ng , a l a b ouring man, about th e m iddl e ag e and bli n d o f an eye, was plac e d at the bar before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with at tempting to commit suicide by hanging himself. It appeared from the statements or several witnesses that about twelve o'clock last night the daughter of the pri soner ran into a coffee-shop in Buckley-court, Shoe-lane, and gave an alarm that her father, whose lodgings were in the same court, had cut his throat. The keeper of the coffee-shop (Mr. Thomas Perry), accompanied by one of his lodgers, hastened immediately with the child to the spot, and found the pri-oner, not, indeed, with his throat cut, but with a handkerchief tied round his neck, with the proper run ning knot for strangulation by suspension, and other handkerchiefs added, to give it the necessary length. He was in the act of finally adjusting this halter when Mr. Perry interfered. A policeman arrived soon afterwards, and the prisoner was given into custody. When called on by the magistrate to explain his con duct, he said that ho had for some time been saving a little money to provide for the expenses of his wife's confinement, which was expected shortly to take place, but that unfortunately he got drunk last night abd was robbed of all his money, end in consequence had deter mined to make away with himself. Be was now sorry for the attempt upon his life. Mr. Alderman GIBBS desired him to be taken care of until Friday, to which day he remanded him. James Baxter, a bookbinder, in Bridgewater-square, was charged by police-constable No.. 142 (City) with stabbing his (th e pr i soner ' s) wife in twop lock yesterday laces.

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 fiir establishing the School of Design in Paisley, fur which a spirited saseri[Aion is now in pro gress, will be more than manifest from this outline of the difficulties through which our shawl trade has Stripy g,lsd, and in spite of which it has so far triumphed. Let ' our youths possess the pre per 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 loam, 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 derivir , a duty th neon of 20 per cent. At present there are cetn•equently several houses making square and long shawls in Paisley, which resemble more closely the Indian fabric than any ever before munufactumd here. The shawls now manufactured are indeed to the most superficial observer, an astonishing contrast in their superiority of design and beauty of executi, is to those made ten years ago. The lady of a distingui-hed 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-howe. It was in vain that their Paisley origin was insisted up )n. The officers would not, and could not, believe ir, 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. dens, around a woman from whose head and neck the blood was flowing profusely. Learning that the pri soner had stabbr d his wife (the wounded woman) he took him into custody. Maurice Newman, No. 3, Store-street, Gower-street, stated that, shortly before the policeman came up to his assistance, he was passing by the corner of Bridgewater gardens, and saw the prisoner strike with his fist a woman who was walking close behind him. The pri soner than ran in, the woman running alter him, when he turned sharply round and struck her twice with a knife, once in the side of the head, and again in the neck. The witness rushed between them, and seizing the prisoner by the wrists restrained him from further mischief until the policeman came to his assistance. Witness saw the knife distinctly. It was a clasp knife, and he saw the prisoner wipe it and put it in his pocket, when he was released from the witness's grasp. On searching the picket, however, a hole was found in it, through which there could be no doubt the knife had fallen. It was not found afterwards. The prisoner in his defence said, that he was pro voked by his wife's drunkenness and violence to strike her, but that the wounes were inflicted with a street door key, which he had in his hand at the time. lie posi tively denied that he used a knife, or that he had one about at the time. It was statied, however, that the surgeon who ex amined the woman, had no doubt that the injuries were inflicted with a knife. The prisoner was remanded till the woman is perfectly ahle to attend. - BO W-STREET Edward Guinness was charged with assaelting Eliza Doran, a woman who lives with him as his wife. The complainant was most frightfully disfigured by the beating she had suffered, Both her eyes black, and the whole of her face was swollen and discoloured. She had several bruises on her temple, and in fact her fea tures were hardly distinguishalde. Her hands and arms were also severely bruised. She said that as the pri soner had promised not to assault her I any mere she would not pre as the charge. Mr. HENRY—What ! utter receiving such injuries ? Complainant—Yes, Sir. He says he won't do it a'.7 more. All I want of him now is to leave rue. The prisoner said he would not hurt her any more, but he did not wish to leave her. He was perfectly able to support her. Mr. HENRY—You know you are quite at her mercy now ; as I would certainly punish you with the greatest severity possible, if she were to prove that e she received those injuries from you. The complainant repeated that she would not press o her t S h h eT e ch o oe ' ma prisoner, sw la e i i n l a a rl b t I eianthtt:ii, after r wa t i the cha rge , b ut s h e wished to leave him immediately. ure, I s s) e r, . 1 01 : 7 a , ri n gl i . d iend h g. e r r , child,ott omolest as MARLBORO, "GH-S ET. Ari'IIEZIENSION OF A GANG oF THIEVES.—The court was literrlly besieged by tradesmen desirous of hearing the examination of four persons, charged with having in their possession a Large quantity of property, the pro duce of many robberies committed can shopkeepers in the metropolis. The mimes given by-the prisoners, all of whom, with the exception of the woman, are well known to the police, were John Walter. John Fran/din (a young man of coheir), John Williamson, and Mary Tilney, otherwise Welker. It appeared that the police for some time past have had their e y e on a h ouse s i tuate No. 3, Chapel -street, Soho, and a strict watch was placed on thw movements of certain of the inmates. The evidence of police-constable Mornet, C division, was first taken. Ile said, on Monday morning, about nine o'clock, he was on the watch, when he saw Walker leave the house No. 3, Chapel-street, where he lived, and shortly afterwards he s isv Williamson go, in, fol lowed by Franklin, who had a bag with him. Walker returned soon eiterwands, and witness reeked that the woman Tilney came to the dire- and leeked out once or twice. Williamson and Franklin then came out of the house, and witness and ether constables who were with him immediately took both into custody. Police-sergeant Gray, C 10, corroborated the state ment of Mornet as far as it went. Atter taking the two prisoners into custody, he went to the house No. 3, Little Chapel-street, and on asking which was Walker's room was told to go up to the two-pair back. Witness went up stairs, and found Walker and the woman Tilnev in the room. In the fire-place were two pieces of wood, with marks on them, being burnt. Witness told Walker he must take him into custody, to which Walker an swered it was a bad job. Police-sergeant Whall, C 16, said he saw Gray take the two pieces of wood now produced from the fire place. As soon as Walker was told he was in custody he said it was a bad job. Witness asked him where the cloth was ? Walker said there was some cloth in a place which he pointed out, and said some cloth had been left there that morning. Witness searched the place, and found a considerable quantity of cloth and other property, all of which witness believed was stelen. Among the articles found were a piece of silk serge, a lady's riding habit, two torn labels, and souse coins and medals. Mr. Superintendent Beresford, of the C division, said there were owners for nearly all the property found in Walker's rooms. Six eases at least would be brought forward, and he should commence with one that affected all the four prisoners. Mr. Gordon, .of the firm of Walker and Gordon, drapers and tailors; Bleck in iars-road, said the roller now produced had the marks of the firm on it. The serge found in Walker's possession was the property of the firm, but witness could not., without referring t o th e books, state when it had been seen safe in the warehouse, but witness was not aware that the serge was missing until made acquainted of the fact by the police. Mr. O'Brien, who attended professionally for Walker, cross-examined this and the other witeesst s, but did not shake the material portions of the evidence. The first case, however, not being sufficiently complete, the further hearing was postponed till the next examination. As there was nothing beyond the mere eircumstarice of the woman Tilney passing as Walker's wife, and being found in a room in which stolen property was placed, Mr. Harwick decided on liberating her, and she was discharged accordingly. The next case was against I') anhlin and Williamson, for stealing a piece of cloth free] the shop of Messrs. Mack-en and Co., tailors, No. 42, Conduit street. Walter Fisher, porter to Messrs. Macken and Co., said on the 25th of June, on his return from breakfast, he saw Franklin in Conduit-street, and immediately after wards he noticed the prisoner Williamson cross the street with a bag on his shoulder. Suspecting something wrong, he went into the shop and missed an end of cloth, which was safe before he left to go to his breakfast. He ran out and pursued a cab, into which Williamson had got with the property, and stopped it near St. George's Church. He told the prisoner Williamson he wanted to see the goods in the bag. The prisoner Williamson told him he was welcome to look at the property, and got nut of the cab as if to assist him. While witness was untying the bag the prisoner Wil liamson ran down Maddox-street, and made his escape. Witness found the stolen end of cloth in the bag. The cab-driver was called, but though he recollected being hired for a job, he could not speak with certainty to the person of Williamson. The case was considered to be too slight to convict Franklin upon, and consequently Williamson alone was ordered to stand committed on this charge. The next case was for a burglary at the house of Mr. Nash, 11, St. John's Wood. It was proved by the servant that the house was en tered a short time ago, and robbed of plate, jewellery, a snuff-box, some coins, and other property. The coins and snuff-box found in Walker's house were part of the stolen property. A cab driver, No. 6,023, said he was employed on the evening of the robbery to take a fare of three persons to St. John's-wood: — One of the periOns was of very dark complexion, but as they were all buttoned up, and had handkerchiefs round their necks, he was unable to swear positively that the prisoners were the persons. As the evidence only affected Walker, the other two were not included in the charge. Walker was ordered -to be committed. Mr. Robert Pearce, tailor, No. 23, Edward-street, pro , secuted in the next COO. • The prosecutor said his shop was entered on the 12th of August last, and a quantity of property carried off. The thieves effected an entrance by using a pair of plyers to unlock the shop-door with, though the door was locked inside, and the key in the lock. Witness missed several ready made articles, a gold watch, and a ten pound promissory note, and some sovereigns, which he had placed in an old waistcoat pocket. The remnant of doeskin produced by the police, and found at Walker's lodgings, was a part of the stolen property. Walker was committed on this case. The next case was that of Mr. Leon, tailor, 47, Rath bone-place. The prosecut or s a id on the morning of the 7th of August some thieves entered his shop, and carried off a quantity of ready-made clothes, a piece of cloth, and piece of doeskin. A portion of a garment found in Walker's possession was identified by Mr. Leon. Mr. Leon said he recollected the prisoner Franklin com ing to his shop some time it- fore the robbery, and giv ing him an order for a pair of trousers. The prisoner's order was executed; and prosecutor, finding they gave satisfaction, begged to see him again at his shop, and solicited him to recommend his friends. The prisoner promised to comply with his request, and he had appa. rently kept his word. W.alker.wascommitted on this charge. The next case was tor stealing a riding habit and a dress-coat from the 51" op of Mr. Tabley, tailor, 43, Upper Berkeley-street. A portion only of the riding habit was found in Walker's lodging. This, however, was positively sworn to by the lady's maid of Mrs. Kidd, of Albion-place, as the property of her mistress. The evidence being incomplete, the charge was not proceeded with.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—AdmiraI Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief, proceeded to Southampton yesterday in his yacht with his flag flying, to attend ' upon Prince Albert on his visiting the B►itish Asso ciation. The Bulldog steam sloop, Commander Davis, having coaled, and repaired one or two defects, left to-day for Plymouth to receive advance wages. She takes out supernumeraries and supplies for the squadron of ob servation under Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, off Lis bon, also disp - tithes for that officer and the British M-nist r, end letters for the ,squadron, which duty having performed she will preceed to the Cape of Good Hope to relieve the Thunderbolt. The Batiste, 72, Captain Kingcombe, arrived at Quebec, from Halifax, on the 18th ult. The America, 50, Captain the Hon J. Gordon, will be docked at Devonport on the 21st, but none of her copper is to be removed. She will remain in dock only one tide, merely sufficient time to broom down her bottom, after which she will be got to sea with the least possible delay. She is progressing very favourably at present under the experienced hands of her first Lieutenant Mr. Lindsay, who fitted her out. Lieutenant J. B. West (1831), six years senior to Lieutenant Lindsay is, how ever, appointed first Lieutenant of the America, to suc ceed Mr. Agas;z, invalided. It is believed on hoard that the America will be sent to reinforce the squadon in the Mediterranean. Captain Gordon is en leave. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 15. Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the Marquis of Anglesey, Master- General of the Ordnance, arrived at Woolwich at an early hour this morning, and were received by Captaiii-Superintedent Houston Stuart, C. 8., who steered his Grace and the Noble Marquis in the barge of the William and Mary yacht to the Black Eagle steam-vessel, 'sins, with her steam up, in the middle of the river. The Marquis of Anglesey arrived at twenty minutes before eight o'clock, and visi!ed the testing-department for anchors and chains, :►ttsuded by the Captain-Superintendent and heals of the vaiious departments. His Grace the Duke of Wellington ar rived precisely at eight o'clock, and immediately entsred the barge of the Wiliam and Mary, to he conveyed to the Black Eagle sesion vessel. The Marquis of Anglesey was accompanied by Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary to the Master General of the Ordnance. Sir William Gossett accompauied his Grace and the Marquis of Anglesey to Chatham, arid die Black Eagle left Wool wich at ten minutes past eight o'clock. The Swallow steam- vessel, under the command of Mr. Bryant. master of the Monkey steam-vessel, left Wool wich this morning for the raver Shannon, end embarked 40 of the men who brought round the Conflict steam vessel to 'Woolwich. The Myr:le steam vessel left Woolwich at the same time fur Portsmouth, with 20 of the men eho brought round the Conflict to this naval depot. The Conflict steamer is now ordered to be brought up the river to Deptford, and sill be taken into the same dock as the Growler steam-vessel, to be fitted with her screw propeller. The La Hoeue, fitting at Blackwell, as a 74-gun block ship, is ordered to.Deptford to have her screw propeller fitted at that dockyard. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, left her moorings at Deptford, at half-past seven o clock, this morning, to afford an opportunity of trying her engines and speed. Several naval officers went on board at Woolwich dockyard, and she proceeded down the river in fine style. Amongst the naval officers present were Commodore Sir C. Napier, who designed the vessel, Captain Sir S. Brown, Captain the Hon. D. W. A. Pei ham, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, Captain Wellesley-, Captain Sparshott, K.H., Captain Price, Captain Bur ridge, and Lieutenant Roberts, Captain S. Sparshot, of the Coast Guard, Major Henderson, brother of the gal lant commander of the vessel, Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, and Mr. Willcox, assistant to the master shipwright of Deptford Docks ard, and Mr. Seaward, of the firm of Seaward and Cape!, constructor of the engines. The paddle-box boats are now on board and a portion of her shot, but she will require a consi derably greater immersion to give her paddle-wheels sufficient purchase in the water before she attains her full speed. On regulating the time of her passing over the measursd mile in Long Reach, it was found that she performed that distance in 5 min. and 30 sec., or at the rate of 10.9 knots par hour, and by the common log 10.8 knots per hour, without her full power being ap plied. When nearly opposite Sheerness Massey's log was thrown overboard, and when the vessel was going at half speed the log, on being taken on board, showed the speed tsst b r eight knots -per hour. The Sidon proceeded on wards to the Mouse Light, about eight miles beyond the Nero, and proved an excellent and manageable war steamer, answering her helm in a most admit able man ner, turning entirely round in two minutes. This ope ration in a man-of-war occupies about five minutes, and the result obtained in the Sidon gave great satisfaction to-the-whole of the naval officers on board. The Sidon Is admired by all who have witnessed her construction for war purposes, her upper deck being of ample dirnen• sions for working her powerful guns, and the funnels being made on the telescopic principle, and can --be lowered to the level of the deck by machinery. The lower deck is also remarkable for the little interruption given to this view of the commanding officer by the machinery, and altoget;7,er her appearance is nearer to to that of a ship of war than any steamer previously constructed. The engines in one part became heated to-day, which prevented the full speed being tried, but on her return they worked very weal. Mr. Brunet ex hibited and explained the nature and advantages of his reefing paddle-wheel to the naval officers on board. The ship carpenters were employed all day as if the, vessel had been stationary, and on her return up the river she was attached to moorings opposite the dockyard, Wool wich, where she will be completed for sea under the superintendence of Mr. Willcox, assistant to the master shipwright,:who has superintended her building since the commencement. CLEVER DETECTTON.—A gentleman residing at the village Muttonhoh., who had occasion to be in Edin burgh in the course of Monday, hircd a minibus in the evening to convey him home. After leaving town, the 'gentleman, who was accompanied by a friend, fell asleep in the minibus, as did also his companion. On reaching his destination, he was somewhat surprised to find, that from the time he entered the cab his morey was miss ing. Being convinced that it must have been taken from his person while asleep, he determined to secure the driver and another cabman who was along with him, till such time ts the matt,r was cleared up. Accord ingly, on alighting from the vehicle, he asked both of these individuals to bring into his house some articles which he hail purchased in Edinburgh, a n d w hi c h were lying in the bottom of the carriage. The parties, not stuTeeting the object he had in view, readily complied. On their reaching_ a room with their burdens, the gen tleman closed the door, and placed his back against it, to prevent their egress till the arrival of the constable at the village, for whom he had sent. The constable whose name is Beaton, on his arrival, on being informed what had happened, searched the bottom of the mini bus, and amongst the straw he found 8/. inclosed in three separate paroles. This sum being 3/. short of the loss sustained by the gentleman, the search was continued, when the remainder of the money was discovered con cealed in the cushion of the driver's seat. Both cab men were thereupon taken into custody, and were on Tuesday remitted by the sheriff for trial.—Scotch paper. REWARDS FOR EXTINGUISRINC FIRES.—At an in quest held yesterday, it was suggested by a juryman that a small fund, at the disposal of the coroner and jury, might be most advantageously applied to reward indivi duals who distinguished themselves in putting out fires and saving liven. A shilling a piece from the house holders of a district, it was said, would form an ample NW for the purpose. The prisoners were directed to stand committed as above, but to be again brought up next Friday to com plete the evidence in the first case. their It is du e t o the police to say, is solely by activity and intelligence that these cases have been brought forward against the prisoners. To show the magnitude of the robberies in which the prisoners were concerned, it is ascertained that the value of the property taken in the above six cases exceeds 1,2001. Ann Winter was charged with stealing a boa from the shop of Mr. Smith, in Tottenham-court-road. Hugh Hutchinson, a labouring man, said he was look ing at some curiosities in the window of Mr. Smith's shop with some others, and the woman at the bar was among them. She looked about her and then lifted the boa and concealed it undi.r hcr shawl, from under which it wit; taken by the shopman. Mr.llHAßDwios committed her for trial. William Osborne was charged with refractory conduct at St. George's workhouse. Francis Baldwin, the beadle of St. George's, said the defendant came last night about half-past seven to the overseer's office, drunk. He was offered relief,but be re fused it with curses, saying that he would have a lodging there OW uight. Lli3language 3c , abusive that he had to be given in charge. It is against the rule of the house to take p rsons in liquor in. The defendant said he had no lodging, and no where to go for the right, and bread was useless Mr. HARDWICK thought it st‘ange that an able bodied man, like the defendant, should he resortit.g to the workhouse, when woik was so ,plentiful in the e , untry. He sent him ten days to the House of Cor rection. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES, !IN BANKS, ASSURANCE. AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

SHEERNESS, MONDAY EVENING.—His Majesty the King of Sardinia's corvette Aurora arrived here on Sa turday afternoon last, fur Hull. The captain and officers, to the number of 32, and stated to be pupils of the naval school of Sardinia, visited the dockyard this morning, over which they were escorted by Lieutenant Ramsey, the director of police. Having minutely inspected the several works going on in the dockyard and the smithey. the cement kiln, the mast-house, &c., they left the yard about one o'clock and proceeded to view the extensive fortifications in course of erection here, returning on board their ship about two o'clock. They dine with the Commander-in-Chief this evening, and proceed to morrow on a visit to Chatham Dockyard. It having been intimated yesterday by circular from the Commander-in-Chief that his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Marquis of Anglesey, the Mister-General of the Ordnance, would visit the port in : the course of this dey, all the authorities and crowds of the denizens of Sheerness, from an early hour in the morning were on the qui vice for his arrival, but the usual punctuality of his Grace has for once failed him, 6w up to the present time (seven A.M.) nothing has been s- en or heard of him. It was expected that he would have arrived about noon in the Black Eagle from Woolwich. Extensive alterations and improvements, it is well known, are at the present moment in progress at the old works at this p'race; while a new and formidable battery, capable of mounting from fifty to sixty guns of the largest calibre, is in completion opposite the dock yard -gate, protected seaward by a deep moat, and flanked en each extremity by huge musketry walls, on the one hand, connecting it to the fortifications at Garrison Point, and on the ether to the land defy -nags which ex tend continuously from the Thames to the Medway, and which are now being heightened and strengthened, and t.avirg a ravelin form on the Miie-town side of the draw bridge. The alterations on thy• works at Garrison Point are now nearly complete, and as sixty-three of the guns have arrived, and the beds and pivots for most of them are ready. his Grace will ii subtle. s order some of them to he mounted. The siro and calibre of the puns have ulretui 'be-n given in The Sun—they are chiefly 32 and 68-pour.,' Fifty-eight of a similar description are ordered fo ; I new works.
