Vtirb Vtition, SUN OFFICE, Seven d Clock. FRAN CE. In the Constitutionnel we find a long article on the probable advantages of the penal settlement of Guyana. Our contemporary, after showing the great obstacles which opposed the success of the convict settlement of New South Wales, proceeds thus :- 44 The great and useful enterprise which the Govern ment is attempting at Cayenne is placed under muca better conditions. It is, in the first place, based on a very old nucleus of colonization. Although it has never been able to acquire any great extension, the colony of French Guyana is peopled by nearly 10,000 individuals, of whom from 1,000 to 2,000 are whites. It is a centre of civilization, the neighbourhood of which will soften for the convicts the sufferings of an exile which is other wise very mild. The facility and promptitude of com munication with the mother-country is another ground of security for the new colony. Botany Bay, situated at the antipodes of Europe, is at a distance of nearly 4,000 leagues. Compared to Botany Bay, Cayenne adjoins Europe; the means of communication are prompt and sure, and all around the new establishment are rich coun tries and civilized people. At Botany Bay it was necessary from the first to have recourse to the most rigoroas repres sion; for it would have been otherwise impossible to keep under a population of that character with a very small garrison. The disciplinary regime to which our convicts are subjected is, on the contrary, calculated to improve their moral state. The Government is desirous to open to them the path of rehabilitation, and everything which can tend to degrade them in their own eyes will be most carefully avoided. Good conduct and sincere repentance will be treated with kindness, and it is thus that the colony will take root, and become by degrees improved and flourishing.' A second municipal election took place on Sunday last in various towns in which the insufficiency of voters rendered the first. election invalid. At Macon and Tarare, both democratic places, the candidates of the Government, were nominated ; and at Nantes forty-five Government candidates out of forty-seven were chosen. At Roanne on the contrary all the op position list passed, and in it is the name of M. Brizon, a political offender condemned to forced resi dence in that town. The Governor-General of Algeria, in order that the colony should not be backward in the expression of its feelings towards the Prince President, ap pointed a deputation to proceed to Marseilles, in order to congratulate him on his arrival. The deputation consisted of General Pelis sier, commandant of the province of Oran, M. Lacombe, secretary-general of the Government, Lechene, mayor of Algiers, M. Canton, president of the Chamber of Commerce, Baron de Vialar, M. Bouly de la Sapie, an d M. Morin, colonists in the department of Algiers. Captain Appert, one of the aides-de• camp of the Governor-General, has accompa nied the deputation. GERMAN Y. There are three new cases of cholera reported in Berlin from the 26th to the 27th. In Posen on the 25th there were five new cases, and three deaths. In Buk' the epidemic has ceased, after sweeping off 105 persons of the 170 attacked. In Elbing for the last few days only isolated cases have occurred ; in the district also there is a decrease. In Ortelsburg, Kiinigsberg, and Braunsburg the dis ease still prevails, but with abated force ; during the month from the 25th of August to the 25th of Sep tember the mortality in all these three towns has been above 50 per cent. of the persons attacked by the disease. From the general tenor of the last re ports, it is hoped the epidemic has exhausted its strength for the present season. At Ostrowa, in the Duchy of Posen, four criminals were beheaded on the 24th, in the court-yard of the prison. They had been condemned for murder. The death warrant having been read to them, they were taken separately to the block, all traces of each exe cution being removed before another was led out. In twenty minutes the executioner had severed the four beads, each with a single blow of the axe—a dexterity lauded by the journals, as it presents a contrast to a scene which took place recently at Dresden, where the instrument was the sword. At Ostrowa, the execution was according to the Prussian law, in private. On the railroad from Berlin to Breslau an improved expedient for signalling has been adopted worth trying on lines where collisions are more likely to occur. One of the conductors of each train carries a small galvanic battery with him, that can be connected with the wires of the line at any point, and a message sent to the nearest station. As the method is simple it is likely to come into general use. ERUPTION OF MOUNT ETNA. The published accounts from Catania, as to the course of the lava, reach to 8 A.M., on 7th September. Zaffarana, which appdars to have been in such great peril, it is now hoped may escape. We make the following extracts from the Giornale di Catania : Aug. 30, Nine A.M.—The lava, which has assumed more celerity, has reached the road to Faragone, and is near the habitations; the centre of Zaffarana is distant but a mile. It has nearly destroyed several vines and chestnut trees. Its front is half a mile, its height forty palms. The inhabitants of Zaffarana are much frightened, and are removing their furni ture, &c. Aug. 31, Eight A.M.—The people of Zaffarana are more tranquil. A portion of lava directed towards the centre of the commune has ceased during the night to flow, and that which continued, making a turn to the north-east, has left Faragone intact. Sciara di Ballo is once more threatened. Nine P.M.—The rapidity of the lava is about ton canne per hour. It continues, via Pantani, its course towards Solari di Ballo. Continued rumblings are beard from the mountain, but not the strong detona tions of the past, which were like the discharge:of cannon. The flame from the vortex is indescribably beautiful, and greater than yesterday. Sept. 1, Seven A.M.—lhe same breadth of lava, but its height varies from ten to thirty palms. Its ad vance during the night was less actives, about five canne per hour, but the centre and N.W. wings are slower. Two antique cottages have been destroyed, and the lava is nearer to other homes. It is painful, how ever, to observe that from the road to Calanna it has di s appeared, and is taking a third volcanic stratum, the dimensions of which are not known. The course which on the 30th was directed towards Dragalone, _nor di Casino, Angona, and the plain of Saint Giacomo, is stopped entirely. I , :;ght p m ,—The course towards Sciara di Ballo is much slower—about a canna per hour laterally to wards the house of Salvatore Coco. The new lava progresses in two wings —one to. wards Dagelone, th e other towards Fior di Casino— they are distant from Zaffarana three miles. Some loud detonations have been heard today. Sept. 2, Eight A.M.—The mass of lava, which had almost blocked up Sciara appears to be deadened in its centre, the two wings alone are in movement, but very slow—six canne only during the night—and it is thought that it will cease flowing. The two expansions of the third stratum which yesterday appeared over Calanna, properly the (2uer cia del Vento, have during the night been very slow, and hopes are entertained that its destructive progres will not continue. The property which has suffered by the eruption, not reckoning a portion of the Bishop of Catania's revenues, may be taken at 132 saline (about 620 acres), from among vineyards, woody spots already sown, good land, chestnut.., lava , spread ground, that i s cultivable, and arid ground. Tne sufferers are eighty in number. Sept. 3, Ei g ht A .m,--The two wings of the lava appear to be u n iti n g, having only advanced two canne during the night. The fears of the people are .sub duing, and many are re-enuring The third stratum, their houses. which came within half a mile of Quercia del Vento, no longer advances. A fourth, however, is discovered from the highest part of Quercia del Vento, and is taking an E.S.E. direction, which may invade the land between Milo sad Ballo, but is yet two miles distant, and little alar m of its advance is entertained. Sept. 4, eight A.M.—The lava menacing Sciara di Ballo is spent. The fourth stream, seen yes terday, has changed its course to S.S.E., once mena ci ng Zaffarana. It advanced since 37,,s tercia ste e p more ground about a mile, and is now on the " road to Palszzo, above the grotto of Chicchitelli. It has taken the course of the old lava, but has damaged some vineyards and cultivated fields which had pre viously escaped. Its extent has dilated, but its pro gress is slow. Sept. 5, Eight A. H.—From Zaffarana—The era !) _ tion decreases In violence. The stratum which w as spoken of yesterday is dying away. Ten r.m.—From Milo—From Renatore a branch of the volcanic lava has proceeded eastward with great rapidity. Its size is half a mile. It is actually near Dalalonga, and in ten hours rose 400 canoe. It menaces the village of Milo, from which, however, it is three miles end a half distant. Sept. 6, swan A.:A.—From Zaffarana—The lava menacing the grotto Chicchitelli proceeded slowly, advancing five canne only during the night, end is about closing. From the point of eruption several strata have appeared, one of which this morning is visible from the Quercia del Vento, wending its course over the old lava, but so slowly as not to occa sion any alarm. The storms of sand and the detona tions have diminished. Sept. 7, Eight A.M.—The spread of the lava united over the grotto Chicchitelli may b 3 said to be spent. The fifth stratum, announced yesterday, menaced the Quarter Milo and Caselle on the night of the sth to the 6th, but turning off towards the Quercia del Vento diffased itself over the old l ava a nd descended aivith so much rapidity as to progress more than half mils in the day. In the evening it united, and took he direction of Palazzo, and is now distant two miles only from Zsffarana. During the night its force has diminished—its front, which was fifteen palms high, has increased, and its breadth may be reckoned at nearly 200 palms. To the frightful detonations a dull rumbling sound has succeeded. Subsequent private letters, to the 16th of Septem ber, announce the mountain to be still in active la bour, and the course of the volcanic stream of liquid lava, which had branched off close to Zaffarana, had taken the direction of Milo, which seemed so as suredly doomed to d es t ruc tion that the inhabi tants were clearing not only their, houses, but like wise cutting down the loftiest chesnut trees in its vi cinity, in the hopes o f having time to remove the same to save the timber. A vast quantity of sal ammonia has been vomited from the crater, which rendered the air so impure a s to threaten the lives of seamen in small craft trading along the coast. The deck of a small revenue cruiser had been nearly covered with volcanic cinders. Even as far as Malta some of the soot and lava dust had been wafted by the wind during the night of the 21st of September. The mountain has on several occasions been distinctly visible from the town of Valletta, the smoke from its summit presenting the appearance of a very heavy cloud. Very oppressive sirocco winds have prevailed at Malta throughout the month of September, and at the latest date a very dense fog, which is unusual at this season, but the island generally was very salu brious.

We regret to state that during the very severe gale which blew on Wednesday night serious disasters oc curred to several vessels in and about the Bay of Dublin, attended in one instance with the loss of the entire crew. The wind, which commencee to blow from the N.N.E. with great force about sunset, ac companied by heavy rain, increased in fury as the night advanced, till about ten o'clock it became a perfect storm, and continued so, almost without any cessation or diminution, till nearly daybreak. The night was very dark, a circumstance which, added to the fury of the gale and the incessant rain that fell almost in torrents, rendering the situation of vessels at sea one of imminent danger. Great anxiety was manifested during yesterday by various parties whose relatives and friends had sailed on the previous evening from this port or from Kingstown, lest they might not have passed safely through the dangers of as fearful a night as has been experienced for some time past in the bay and along the neighbouring coast. In the course of the evening the Glasgow Com pany's splendid iron steamer Herald, Captain Stokes, started from the North-wall, on her passage to Glas gow, having* on board a large number of p assengers , large quantity . of merchandise and a together with a considerable number of cattle. The wind was blow ing swiftly up the river at the time of her departure, but notwithstanding, the gallant vessel proceeded boldly to sea. She had gone her course out necessary of Dublin Bay, and i had opened Lambay Island, when it became to bring the steamer's head to the wind i n order to steer her course for Glasgow. On this being done the s essel encountered the full force of the heavy sea then running; the waves broke over her incessantly, deluging the deck; after shipping two or three heavy seas, which all but drowned the cattle on board, and placed the lives of the pas sengers and crew in imminent danger, Cap tain Stokes was reluctantly compelled to give orders to put about and b e ar up for the near es t shelter (Kingstown harbour), which admirable as it is as a harbour of refuge, artificially constructed, was by no means proof against the fearful tempest of Wed nesday night. On arriving at Kingstown the anchors were let go, but the steamer, from her great length and the force of the gale, continued to drag them till it was found necessary, after a short stay in the har bour, to slip the cable, put steam on, and return to Dublin. It appears that the steamer drifted while in the harbour, and that some vesse l s lyi ng th ere doing her house on deck, her considerable icnajmureyionntothceoniartabcto larboard with h quarter.er d The used as a state-cabin, was so much injured that it ; bad to be fitted up temporarily with planks yesterday. She carried away her roretopmast by cowing in con tact with the rigging of the ship which she fouled at Kingstown. The passengers were in a state of great alarm, and Captain Stokes must be commended for the prudence he exhibited in not continuing on his conrse under circumstances that rendered the safety of the vessel under his command and all on board questionable. Such was the strength and fury of the storm that at Kingstown a portion of the wall on the western pier was blown down. A strong wooden house erected on the same pier immediately beside the lighthouse was destroyed. Some yachts and other small craft lying about the harbour were driven against the piers and broken. We have not heard, however, that any lives were lost or persons injured. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on the same night the brig Smyrna, from Workington, with a cargo of coals, ran on the rocks to the south of the Poolbeg Lighthouse. As far as can be ascertained up to the present time, the ehtire crew being lost, it appears that the brig was making in the gale for Dublin har bour, and that the master thought he would have been able to weather the lighthouse. Most unfortu nately he did not succeed in accomplishing this object, for the vessel, it would seem, was driven by the force of the storm out of the proper channel to the south of the light. It is conjectured that an attempt at tacking was then made, but in doing this the vessel missed stays, and was thrown in upon the rocks lyiog around the lighthouse. Notwith standing that the ship must have for some time beaten about, and that she was wrecked almost against the lighthouse itself, it does not appear that any of the men on duty there were aware of the awful scene, involving the loss of the lives of several fellow creatures that was being enacted immediately under their windows, and within a few feet of them. In consequence of information received during the night from the crew of a trawler, which passed the ill-fated vessel while she was making ; towards the lighthouse, the coastguard stationed at Ringsend proceeded at daybreak along the Pigeon -house 'Wall and the South Wall. While going along the latter they descried at a short distance, on ' what is called the White Bank, a boat bottom up. They immediately instituted a close search in the , neighbourhood, and in a few minutes they found the bodies of the captain of the Smyrna, the mate, and two of the crew, which were left on the bank by the re , ceding tide. The name of the master is Peter Young , husband, that of the mate, Graham, and the two seamen, Lucas and Byrne. It is supposed that when I the vessel struck the crew took to the boat, in the hope of reaching the White Bank, but, in this hope the poor fellows were deceived while living, as the boat capsized. The watches found on the person of the master and mate were found to have stopped at twelve o'clock, thus indicating that the wreck took place some time about half-past eleven. The brig now lies a total wreck, on her starboard side, which, with the deck, is completely stove in. A large quan tity of the coals, which constituted her cargo, and portions of her rigging, &c., lie scattered about among the rocks. The wreck was visited during yesterday by Mr. Joha Walsh, Lloyd's agent, by whom it was placed, with the little that had been ' saved, under the charge of some of the coastguard. Mr. Davis, the county coroner, held an inquest on the bodies yesterday evening at the White-bank. The coast-guard, by whom the bodies were discovered in the morning, give evidence in accordance with the above account. No definitive evidence could be given as to whether there were more than four per sons on board, but it was stated by competent parties present that the vessel could have been worked by the men whose bodies were found. The jury found that "The deceased men had been wrecked, and were drowned on the night of the 28th inst." Several masters of vessels were in attendance, and identified the bodies. They stated that had there been proper apparatus at the lighthouse, and had there been a look-out kept by those in charge, this painful sacri fice of life might have been prevented. The bodies were brought up to town in the course of the evening. The fury of the ,gale was also severely felt along the coast towards the north. About midnight it blew a perfect hurricane from east-north-east, and along the more exposed parts of this dangerous coast, the sea rose in waves of fear ful height, and the surf broke with such violence on the rocks sad shoals along shore that it seemed evi dent that any unfortunate vessel close in wish the laud, and not having secured a good offing, could not have a chance of escaping total destruction. Ac cordingly the officers and men of the coastguard ser vice in the vicinity remained on the alert during the night. About an hour after midnight a vessel, brig-rigged, was seen at about two miles distant from the land, under close-reefed topsails and foretop staysail, evi dently trying the hopeless expedient of clawing off the coast. But to all experienced eyes the possi bility of beating to windward in the teeth of such a gale seemed hopeless indeed, and, in fact, such was proved by the result. Every attempt at tacking made by the fated vessel brought her nearer and nearer to:he dread shore frowning under her lee, with the surf roaring and tumbling on the rocks with that hoarse thunder ao terrible to the seaman's ears— in fact, the brig got regularly employed in a most dangeroue indentation of the coast called Murphy's Bay. To destroy still further any chance the brig might have had of being need, it was observee that in trying to go about, she bad carried away her main yard, thus depriving her of aftersail, and rendering her totally unmanageable. From this moment the destruction of the vessel was clearly inevitable. She drifted in, driven by the waves broadside on towards the coast, and soon after struck on a reef of rocks within the bay, carrying away both masts by the board, and the sea making a clean breach over her. The cool and courageous conduct of the captain and crew, under those terrific circumstances deserves much praise, but their best reward is, that by their stadiness and intrepidity, they succeeded in saving their own lives.. Notwithstanding th e ir dreadful peril, the cap tam crew had sufficient time to perceive that the vessel had taken the ground at a spot wherein there was no likelshood of her breaking up at once, and they stuck by their ship gallantly, although it was obvious that no fabric of timber and iron could long withstand the crushing fury of the sea that broke over the decks of the brig, washing overboard everything not lashed down. The captain and crew took measures to avoid being swept overboard ; and, as the tide ebbed, the wrecked vessel was left comparatively dry, and the jaded seamen were enabled to reach the land in safety. The vessel proved to be the James Hamilton brig, bound from the port of Troon, laden with coals for Dublin. It was fortunate that the vessel struck where she did —that is, as regards the safety of the crew. Had she gone on shore a little more to the southward nothing could have saved the lives of the men, so impracticable are the rocks in that direction, and so completely cut off from the land. In about eight hours after the vessel had struck, and on the tide flowing again, she went entirely to pieces, scarcely a vestige being ieft together of her timbers !or framework. The cargo of coals has been washed up in large quantities on the rocks, and we learn it has been purchased by Mr. Hamlet, of Balbriggan. The coastguard force. under the command of Mr. Bar rett, R.N., afforded every assistance in protecting the remains of the cargo, and in saving such remnants of the wreck as were cast up and strewed the beach for a considerable distance. The master of the vessel and one of the seamen have received some severe in juries. They have been placed under the care of Dr. M'Oboy, of Balbriggan, and the rest of the wretched seamen have met with the kindness attention at the hands of the resident gentry.

THE WE AT HER.—SHIELDS, TUESDAY.—During the last forty-eight hours a violent gale from the north-east, with a very heavy and continuous fall of rain, has pre vailed on the coast, and impeded navigation considerably, as a strong sea rolls at the bar. The weather seems broken up, as last week we had heavy gales blowing from the same direction, which drove a number of vessels ashore along the coast. Some oats are still out, and this weather is fatal to the potato; but, generally speaking, the corn crops in Northumberland are well housed, and the samples that have been shown in the local markets have been exceed• ingly sound. _T — H -T' HE _IGHGATE BURGLAR CONFLICT.--Ibe house breaker Johnson, whose flight and subsequent capture by the policeman at Highgate on Saturday night last we have already fully detailed, has been remanded pro forma by a magistrate, and removed to the House of Detention Clerken well, until his antecedents are ascertained. The constable who so courageously effected his capture is named Henry Donkin, 233 S. The neighbourhood of Highgate is as proud of the affair as if he had performed a more military, though not more serviceable or courageous achievement.

Yesterday Thomas Johnson, a well-dressed, power ful young man, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with the following scandalous outrage. Bingley, a constable of the R division, stated that while on duty in the Old Ford-road, Bow, at half-past one on the morning of the 27th ult., he heard a great disturbance opposite a public-house there called the City of Paris, and on hastening up to ascertain the cause of it found the prisoner and two companions of his quarrelling with another person, and he advised them to go away. They at that time did so, but in two or three minutes after two labourers came up, one without any covering on his head, and asked him it' he had seen three men go by with his car. He told them that he had, and the men hurried after the prisoner and his companions, who, as soon as they reached them, turned upon them and repeatedly struck them. Witness laid hold of one of the prisoner's com panions, but the instant he had done so the prisoner commenced a furious attack upon him with a thick stick, and beat him over the head with it with such violence that, as the witness expressed it, his hat was completely cut to pieces. Witness seized hold of the stick to save his head, and succeeded in getting out his rattle to spring it for assistance; but the rattle was immediately wrenched out of his hand and broken to bits ; and while engaged in a struggle with the prisoner one of his companions stooped down in the road, and grasping up a brick, hurled it at him with such force that it struck him heavily on the back of his head, and the blood gushed out of his mouth and one of his ears. The two other men instantly took to their heels and escaped ; but the noise of the contest attracted the notice of a second officer, who came up at the moment, and the prisoner was at length secured and lodged in the station. The constable added that he had been unfit for duty for two days in consequence of the in juries he had sustained, and was now only on such light duty as he was fit for. George Faulkner, one of the labourers referred to, corroborated the constable's evidence in all its leading particulars, but somewhat aggravated the case by stating that he had distinctly seen two brickbats hurled at the officer, and that both of them struck him on the head. When asked if he wished to offer any answer to the charge, the defendant coolly observed that he believed he had behaved very badly to the officer, but that he was very much intoxicated at the time, and now very much regretted his conduct. Mr. D ' EYNcouaT at first directed the depositions to be taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, with the intention of committing the defendant and his com panions for trial for a joint and aggravated assault ; but upon its being intimated by the officer, that though he had made every exertion to apprehend the two men who had escaped, he had been unable to find any trace of them, and that there was no probability of his being able to do so, he at once sentenced the defendant to pay a penalty of 31. for his share in the out rage, or in default to stand committed for one month to the House of Correction. C'LERKEN WELL. Mrs. Susan Keal, charged with having assaulted Mary Margaret Ann Jones, by which her death was caused, appeared before Mr. TYRWHITT, pursuant to her bail, to answer that charge. The case excited considerable interest, and the hus band of the defendant, with numerous friends, was present. Mr. Shaw, solicitor, attended for the defence. Mr. Inspector Tarlton, N division, said, that a jury had assembled at St. Bartholomew's Hospital to inquire relative to the cause of the death the de ceased, but the inquiry was adjourned is order that the depositions taken at this court might be forwarded to the coroner, to be read over to the jury. Mr. Trawairr acceded to this, and ordered that the defendant should renew her bail to appear to answer the charge cea a future day. Bail was then put in, and Mrs. Keal left the court with her friends. Mr. Charles Wood, solicitor, was re-examined, charged with obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Lewis attended for the prosecution, and said that the circumstances connected with the case on the part of the prisoner were serious and cruel. He had been admitted as an attorney in 1832, but was not certificated. A young man named Greigson, a me dical student, was committed for trial on a charge of rape, when the prisoner, who represented himself as an attorney, undertook his defence, and at various times obtained sums of money to the amount of up wards of .5/. to fee counsel, &c., but on the case being called on, air. Ballantyne applied to the Court for its postponement, in consequence of not having received a brief or the retaining fee. The prisoner having absconded with the money he had received, he was eventually apprehended by Charles Bow, 383, S division. Witnesses having been called to prove the facts, the prisoner was committed for trial, but he will be brought up again in order to complete the depo sitions. SOUTHWARK. James Cooksey, a powerful young man, was charged with assaulting his father and mother, and breaking several panes of glass in their house. Both the pri soner's parents, who were in attendance, exhibited marks of violence inflicted by the hands of their un natural son. The father stated that the defendant called at his house on the previous evening, and being refused admission, owing to his bad conduct, he rushed at him and struck him in the face, and gave him two black eyes, which were apparent. Com plainant's wife, hearing the noise, came out, when the defendant immediately attacked her, and struck her a violent blow on the bridge of the nose that made it burst out bleeding, and he then ran out of the house and commenced throwing stones at the front windows and smashing the glass. He (the father) had exerted every means in his power to curb the impetuous temper of his son, but a ll e ff orts were unava ili ng . H e had apprenticed him to a trade, but he had ran away. He next got him a ship and sent him to sea, but he returned as bad as ever, and plundered him (the father) in such a manner that he was compelled to turn him out of his house , an d on hi s refusa l to let him in the previous night he acted with the violence described. He added that the defendant had been an inmate of almost all the gaols of London, and he was apprehensive that he would commit some desprate offence If he was not restrained by the strong arm of the law. The defendant said he came out of gaol the previous day, and that he went to his father's house to get something to eat, but was refused ; a n d t h at w h en he insisted on it he was seized by his fath er an d mot h er, and in th e s truggle they received the injuries they complainedof. Mr. SEcsEs said that the defendant's parents were perfectly justified in refusing admission to a son who, by their aeount, had conducted himself with such violence, a n d w ho disregarded their advice, and was apparently going headlong to destruction. The Magistrat e then sentenced the defendant to find sure ties for his future good behaviour, besides adjudging him to pay fos the damage of the windows he had broken, or, in e, c fault of payment, to be com m itt e d. The def en d ant sa id he could neither find sureties nor pay the amount of the glass he had broken. Mr. SEca.mt—Then you must go to gaol. LAMBETH. James Cannon, the ruffian sweep, who has been for years the terror of the respectable inhabitants of Camberwell and NValwortb, who has maimed for life several policemen, and who has been in custody since Monday, the 14th of September, on a charge of having committed a most savage and murderous as sault on police-cons able Michael Dwyer, 135 P, was brought before Mr. Elliott for further examination. When the case was called on a sergeant belon g in g to the P division i n f orme d the magistrate that the in jured constable was not yet in a fit state to attend and give his evidence, and handed in a certificate of the divisional surgeon to glow the fact. Cannon, on hearin; the officer's statement, in a voice something between a grunt and a growl, said he very much doubtedwbether there was anything the matter with the colstable ; on the contrary, he believed, that he was ke j t back merely to punish him, and that all he wanted vas justice. Mr. ELLIOTT assured him he should have justice done to him, and read ova a certificate of which the following is a copy "I certify that Police-unstable No. 135 P Michael Dwyer, is impro , ieg, but not in a fit stare to attend at the police•court. t - r. S. FLOWER, Surgoo o. "Camberwell-green, Sept, 30." The prisoner on hearing the certificate read ex pressed himself satisfied, and ho was remanded for another week. James Linstead, shopman to Mr. Chapman, a draper in the Brixton-road, who stood charged with plundering his master to a 'ery considerable extort, and in whose boxes upwards of 301. in cash was found, was placed at the bar for fins“ examination. In addition to the evidence before given, a brotl ier shopman deposed that for several weeks past he had observed the prisoner during the breakfast and d;,.n ner hours lean over that part of the counter wlL.re the till was situate for the professed purpose of get ting the day-book, and on each occasion he hezi-cl money chink. When asked why he had not men - tioned this circumstance to his master, the witness said that on a former occasion he bad mentioned his suspicions about the prisoner. The witness said be bad on a former occasion mentioned his suspicions about another young man to Mr. Chapman, but he took no notice of it ; and if he had spoke n t o him again he thought h might be considered as units cessarily complaining of his fellow-shopmen. It was further stated that the 51. note found among the money had been changed at the prosecutor's shop, but as the prosecutor's sister, who usually gave change, is at present in the country, the fact could not be positively proved. The prosecutor said that he was prepared to prove that the prisoner had expended 801. within the 144 twelve months, while his wages were only 501. per annum. Tne prisoner, who deemed to treat the affair with the utmost nonchalance, was fully committed for trial. SWEARING IN THE NEW SHERIFFS. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Yesterday morning the Sheriffs for the city of London and Middlesex, Alderman Carter and Mr. Croll, were presented to the Cursitor Baron of the Court of Exchequer, Mr. Bankes, for the approval of her Majesty, with the accustomed formalities and ceremonies, in the Court of Exchequer, Westminster Hall. The Sheriffs having entertained the Livery of their respective companies and the members of the Court of Aldermen at breakfast at the London Tavern, pro ceeded to the Guildhall, where the procession was joined by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in his state carriage, accompanied by the S wordbeafer and Town - crier with the city mace, the High Bailiff of South wark, and his chaplain, followed by the Recorder, Common Sergeant, the Town-clerk, and other offi cers of the Corporation the Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs, in their state carriages ; and the members of the Li very of the Clockmakers' and Spectaclemakers' Corn piny, with their banners and streamers, accompanied by two military bands. The civic procession afterwards took water at Black friars-bridge, and proceeded in the City barge to Westminster ; they landed at a temporary pier erected near the Houses of Parliament, and afterwards pro ceeded to the Court of Exchequer, in Westminster hall—the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, with the new Sheriffs, Alderman Carter, citizen and clockmaker, and Mr. Croll; on either side the members of the Court of Aldermen, according to their seniority, taking their stations in the bar appropriated to the Queen's counsel; the other members of the corpora tion, as also the late Sheriffs, remaining on the floor of the court. The arrival of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs having beers announced, Mr. Cursitor Baron Bankes entered the court in his scarlet robes, and took his seat on the bench. The usual proclamation having been made, The RECORDER proceeded to present the Sheriffs to the Court us having been elected by the citizens of London, by virtue of their ancient privileges, to fill the office of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and in doing so entered into a brief history of their early career, and the means by which they had attained the proud position of being elected to fill the high and important office, and submitted their desire that the choice of the citizens of London should, through the Learned Cursitor Baron, receive the approbation of her Majesty. The Learned CURSITOR BARON: in a lengthened and complimentary speech, expressed the entire satis faction and approval of her Majesty of the gentlemen selected by the citizens to fill the office of Sheriff. The customary oaths having been administered, The RECORDER then read the new Sheriffs' warrant of attorney to receive all writs and processes, which he presented to the Queen's Remembrancer, by whom it was again read, and prayed that it might be recorded. The appearance of the late Sheriffs and Under- Sheriffs, with their accounts, having also been re corded, The senior Alderman below the chair proceeded to do suit and service for a piece of ground called the Moors, in the county of Salop, by cutting with a hatchet a bundle of sticks, and also one with a bill hook, and did the like office by counting 61 hobnails and 6 horseshoes for a tenement called the Forge, in the parish of St. Clement Danes. The RECORDER then, in the name of the Sheriffs, invited the Cursitor Baron to their inaugural banquet in the evening, after which the procession returned to the City in the same order. THE BANQUET. The banquet was given at the London Tavern. An unusually large number of invitations had been issued and covers were laid for 300 gentlemen—more than can be quite conveniently accommodated, even in the large room of this great banqueting house. Mea sures which have recently been taken for the better ventilation of the apartment contributed much to the comfort of such a numerous assembly. The new Sheriffs, of course, presided. Among their guests were the Solicitor-General, M.P., Lord D. Stuart, M.P., the Lord Mayor elect, M.P., Mr. Masterman, M.P., Aldermen Sir J. Key, Bart., Sir R. W. Carden, Sidney, Moon, Finish , and Law rence, the Queen's Remembrancer, the Governor and Deputy. Governor of the Bank, Mr. E. James, Q. C., Mr. ex-Sheriff Cotterill, Mr. ex. Sheriff Swift, M.P., the Ottoman Consul, Sir G. E. Hodgkinson, Colonel Morse Cooper, Captain Hankey, R. N., Captain Embleton, Captain Haviside, Captain Williams, the Mayor of Southampton, Pro fessor Brande, Professor Graham, the Master of the Clockmakers' Company, the Master of the Spectacle makers' Company, the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, the Rev. Mr. Christmas, the Rev. T. Binney, Mr. W. Hawes, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Mr. Wyld, Mr. D. Nicoll, the Chairman of the various committees of the Common Council, and other gentlemen connected with the city. Grace was sung after dinner by a party of vo calists, under the direction of Mr. Hopkins, organist of the Temple Church, and the loving cup was sent round, Mr. Harker proclaiming welcome. The usual loyal toasts were then given, and duly honoured, and were followed by that of " Church and State," which wee acknowledged by the Rev. Mr. CHRISTMAS. The toast of "The Army and Navy, and the im mortal memory of the Duke of Wellington, was drunk in solemn silence. It was acknowledged by Colonel COOPER and Captain HANLEY. The toast of " The Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the city of London," followed. Mr. DILLON, who was called upon to speak to it, made some appropriate remarks, in the course of which he took occasion to congratulate his fellow citizens that civic honours were not confined to any creed or party, but were open to every man who showed himself worthy of them. The next toast was that of " Her Majesty's Mi nisters." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said be had much grati fication in returning thanks for the honour conferred upon her Majesty's Ministers by that large assembly, but regretted that he was the only member of the Ministry present to make the acknowledgment. Du ties of a public nature had called some to a distant part of the kingdom, and others were obliged, after their toils and anxieties, to seek the repose necessary to prepare them for the arduous duties yet before them.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) He should consider it right to conform to the salutary rule of abstaining, upon this convivial occasion, from any reference to those questions upon which, in this free country, there must be difference of opinion.— (Hear, hear) But he felt that be might claim credit, on behalf of the Ministry, for a sincere and firm determination to do their best to perform the duty committed to them. It was in no ordinary times and under no ordinary difficulties that the present Govern ment bad accepted *'re task which her Majesty had been pleased to intrust to them ; but they had entered upon it, and they were firmly determined to go on with the prformance of their duty, using their utmost exertions and bestowing the utmost power of intellect which Providence had bestowed upon them to nromote the pro-perity of the country. —(Cheers.) if this credit might be claimed any where, surely it might in the city of London, from whose citizens the Ministry might depend upon re ceiving, as every Ministry had received, the support and encouragement which loyalty to their Sovoreign and attachment to the institutions of their country would justly lead the people of the greatest city in the world to bestow upon those who had the arduous duty of conducting the affairs of the country.— (Cheers.) The company had been pleased to drink the toast of " The Army and Navy ;" and when he saw how it was received, he could not but rejoice that the Government had had the satisfaction of placing at the head of the army, by the gracious permission and command of the Sovereign, one of whom it was unnecessasay to say more in i the way of praise etha than that he was worthy to tread n the steps y h illus trious hero so lately lost to us—(Great cheering)._ and that they bad also the satisfaction of seeing at the head of the navy one who possessed and deserved the entire confidence of that branch of the service, and of the Sovereign and the count ry. — (Cheers.) But, above all, he (the Solicitor-General) could not but be reminded of the duty of guarding and protecting the interests of commerce, which had raised this great city to its proud pre-eminence ; and that commerce her Majesty's Ministers, through good and evil report, in consistency with justice to all classes of the community, were prepars d by every means in their power to encourage and promote. — (Cheers.) After adverting to the remarks of Mr. Dillon, and expressing his respect for that honourable , spirit of industry b y w hi c h t h e humblest man among us, whatever hi s or i g i n, h oweve r helpless he m i ght have been in the earlier period of life , mi g ht ho p e to rise to the hi g h est positions in the state, and after avow ing also his satisfaction in forming part of an assem bly met to do honour to an ancient and important off ice, much connected with the administration of the law, being himself a m ember of the legal profession, the Solicitor-General concluded with expressing his confidence, that whatever the tenure of office of her Majesty's Ministers might be, they would at the close of it retire into private life conscious that they had done their best to deserve the approbation of their fellow- country men.—(Cheet.J.) The toasts which next 'followed were those 'of " the Sheriffs," proposed by the Solicitor- General ; " the House of Commons," acknowledged by Lord D. Stuart; " the Lord Mayor Elect," " the Magistrates of the City," acknowledged by Sir John Key; " the City Members," for whom Mr. Mesterman responded ; and " rospsrity to our mercantile marine." Mr. T. DUNBAR, is acknowledging this latter toast, expressed bis apprvhensiun that the country was not looking as it ought to the interests of our mer cantile marine, and was leaving too much to the chapter of accidents. It was to the mercantile ma rine we must look to man our navy. Was not Nelson himself in the merchant service ?—(Hear, hear.) We were now actually sending out our brawny peasantry as emigrants under a foreign flag, to save a few shillings I—(Hear, hear, and some laughter.) Mr. Dunbar repeated his complaint of such a practice with some warmth, and concluded with observing that, if men must be sent out from this country because they could not live in it, at least we ought not to .end away the blood and sinews of the nation under a foreign flag. Atter a few other toasts, among which were " the 131 r of England" (acknowledged by Mr. JAMES), and "the Visitors" (acknowledged by the Mayor of Southampton), the company separated at a rather late hour.
