Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein containeC the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shim, To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although 'hearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. , By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

LITERATURE,--The late political crisis having much divested the public mind from attention to literature, Mr. Colburn has deferred till the present month the publication of several important works, which will now, we understand, immediately appear. Among them are the ninth volume of Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queens of England ;" the seventh and concluding volume of " The Nelson Letters and Dispatches ;" the fourth and concluding part of Burke's " History of the Landed Gentry ;" "The Modern Orlando," in six cantos; the sixth volume of Madame D'Arblay's Diary and Letters ; a new work. edited by the author of " The Crescent and the Cross;" a republication in a cheap form of Lady Morgan's celebrated romance, "The Wild Irish Girl ;" and lastly, the completion of the Walpole Memoirs, being those of the Reign of King George the Second, edited by the late Lord Holladd. t g r i u n s a t th t ha asaut satisfactorily ariutne M bi ngsl t r fi ac. publicly yntfHour Huds politicalonhppirslwocafnii profuse nr circles, etel ec;eehmeaaol and spdst g tot r wi yadal which, e ttiryce f er u h: g eeu t ic o nnft tlineln u eosg s -st for W br e in chmoi gentle men n t r w a f d r h o i i c m c t h e d p , i s a o r e t r guaranteed against insult from their host. At a political party given by Mr. Hudson, on Monday last, and consisting, with, we believe, one exception, of Protectionists, that ex ception being Lord Arthur Lennox, the host proposed the health of Lord George Bentinck, and right liberally did he be-lord his Lordship, after the fashion of those whose ac quaintance with the members of the aristocracy is but re recent—then did Mr. Hudson most heartily belaud himself— and lastly, he proceeded to assail Sir Robert Peel with abuse so vulgar that it is said to have come through his lips as through a familiar channel. This, be it minded, was in the presence of Lord Arthur Lennox, who held office under Sir Robert Peel. Now, Lord Arthur Lennox had, in the course of the evening, undergone some bantering, which, with the easy good humour of a gentleman, he turned aside; but this marked insult, conveyed in the gross attack on the head of a Government of which he was a member, was not to be passed over; the insult was too plainly directed to be mis taken, and accordingly the guest rose, bade good night to his polite and courteous host, and left the room.—Observer. STATUE OF THE EMPEROR CHARLES IV. - This statue is destined as a commemorative of the fifth centenary of the Prague University—the oldest in Germany. The model has just been exhibited in Mr. Burgschmied's work shop, in Nurnberg. It is 14 feet high, and weighs 40 cwt. The Emperor—a graceful, manly figure— is represented in the act of surrendering the charter of the university; the crowned head slightly bent. The costume is historically true, the palVitni covering the rear part of the figure; the folds full, yet graceful. The under garment is covered with lilies, and on the right-hand side hang down the rich tassals of the girdle ; the sword adorned with a large artfully wrought guard. The contractor, however, has undertaken the difficult obligation of delivering the whole work, in cluding a sculpture pedestal, to the Prague Committee, at the end of the year 1847.

KING v. GREIG. This was an action of assump;it, - larought to recover the sum of 1.911. 7s. 6d., alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the defendant in respect of a sale of railway shares. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Hall were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin for the defendant. _ _ . The plaintiff,Mr..EdwardE;i: is a sharebroker, of Leeds, and the defendant, Mr. William Greig, a butcher, living at the same place. During the last summer plaintiff had been employed as broker to act for the defendant in a number of share transactior.s to the amount of about 9001. The former had purchased for the latter in various railways, viz., the Grand Union, the Leicester and Bedford, the Wakefield and Brad ford, and the South Midland. .Many of these shares were sold by the plaintiff as on the defendant's account ; but after their sale by the plaintiff the shares had considerably risen in value, and the defendant, when called on to deliver them, declined doing so. The consequence was, that the plaintiff, to make good his engagements with others, was obliged to buy in at the advanced price, and to charge the defendant with the difference. The transactions between the plaintiff and the defendant were proved by two clerks of the former, whose testimony agreed with the particulars of demand delivered by the plaintiff, containing a debtor and creditor account between the parties. Two other witnesses, who had called on the defendant for the plaintiff, to obtain Payment of the balance of 198/. 7s. 6d., stated admissions of the debt made to them by the defendant, and to one of these he had allowed that he owed Mr. King somewhere about 200/. In the month of March last he had said that he intended, in the course of the summer, when things should brighten up, to pay some money on account, but that he could not do it at present. . _ _ Mr. M , IIITIN, for the defendant, submitted to the jury that the plaintiff's case was deficient in proof, because his claim was for the difference in value of shares which he al leged to have sold to other persons, and there was no evi dence given that there were actually any shares sold to such persons. The plaintiff had the means of adducing evidence, if it existed, to that effect. Some one of the buyers at least might have been called; '4ltte- the-plaintiff had produced no such party, and no documents to verify that part of his dealings with the shares. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, remarked that a hardship "to the defendant had been complained of, in the manner in which the plaintiff proved his case. But if the plaintiff pro duced none of those to whom he had sold, it was to be ob served that a broker did not usually disclose the names of the persons for whom he was acting, whether as buyer or seller. On the other hand the plaintiff relied upon the de fendant's own admission that he owed a balance, which ad mission was made in the month of March, and to two per sons who had no interest in the matter in dispute, and who at different times had heard him say that the balance was due. Verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. WESTERN CIRC,'U IT.— Winchester, July 14. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) George Thomas Rostrick was indicted for having feloniously stolen two post letters containing one sovereign aed one half sovereign, the property of the Postmaster. General, he being at such time a person in the employ of the Post-office. Mr. Rogers, Q.C., and Mr. Pouldon conducted the prose. cution ; Mr. Messing and Mr. C. Saunders defended. the prisoner. Mr. ROGERS, having stated the facts of the case to the jury, called John Romsey—l am the superintendent of the missing letter department. I went to Portsea in April last by direc• tion of the Postmaster-General. On the 22d of that month I directed two letters—one, " Mrs. Somerville, T. Parker's, Esq., the Green, Camberwell ;" the other, " Miss Donalson, Woodbine Cottage, Leamington." In the one directed to Miss Donalson I put a sovereign, which I marked. That letter was sealed with wax; the other was sealed with a gum stamp. Portsea is a receiving house only. It is kept by Mr. T. L. Rostrick, who is a druggist. I dropped the letter directed to Mrs. Somerville into the box. The other I took into the shop, and put it down on the counter, with a penny. This was taken by a man named Hughes, Mr. Ros trick's assistant. This was about half-past six, and the post bag should leave Portsea at a quarter past seven, and be taken to Portsmouth, where the letters are always sorted. After posting the letters I went to the house of one Monk, a letter carrier, and gave him certain directions. lie is the person who takes the letter-bag from Portsea to Portsmouth. fie brought the bags to me. I was waiting at his house. The bag was tied and 'sealed. I opened it. Neither of the letters I had posted were in it. The next day I got a search warrant, and the prisoner was taken into custody. He took a pocket-book from his pocket, which the officer took away from him. In it was some gold coin. Amongst it I found the sovereign which I had marked, and put in the letter directed to Miss Donalson. I then directed Hughes, who is the assistant in the shop, •to look for the half-sovereign. I saw him find a packet of money wrapped up in a piece of paper. Amongst the money was a half-sovereign, which bore the mark I had put on the one I had put in the letter directed to Mrs. Somerville. The mark was partly erased. Joseph Linnington Rostrick was then called. He stated that he was a druggist, liVing at Southsea, but also had a shop at Portsea, which was'managed as to the drug depart. ment by Hughes. The shop was also a receiving-house for letters, which his brother attended to for him. The case for the prosecution being closed, Mr. Miasma addressed the jury for the prisoner at some length. Mr. Baron PLATT having minutely summed up the evi dence, The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, and he was thereupon sentenced to be transported for seven years. William Godly was then placed at the bar, charged with having feloniously stolen a post-letter, containing one half sovereign, the property of the Postmaster-General. Mr. Rogers, Q.C., and Mr. Pouldon, appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. C. Saunders. _ _ Mr. Roams stated the facts of the case to the jury, and from the statement of the Learned Gentleman and the wit nesses it appeared that the prisoner, William Godly, had formerly been in the employ of the Post-office at Southamp ton, but had been discharged on account of his drunken habits. His brother, however, John Godly, obtained his situation, and, as he was a new hand, he used to get his brother, the prisoner, to assist himin the morning before he went his rounds, in "setting up" his letters, that is, arranging them in parcels for the different streets. On the 24th of March a Mr. Cave posted, at Winchester, a letter to his wife at Southampton, and placed in it a half-sovereign. This in due course should have been delivered at the place where it was directed, 13, Grove-street, Southampton, on the morning of the 25th by the prisoner's brother, as it came within his de livery. This was not done, and it so happened that the in• spector of the missing -letter office, Mr. Romsey, went down to Southampton that day, and had obtained a search warrant to search the prisoner's house on another matter. On going to the prisoner's house on the morning of the 25th he was found at home, and taken into custody and searched, when the letter directed to Mrs. Cave was found in his pocket. On being charged with the robbery, he stated that the letter had been given him by his brother. with several others, to de liver, as he was late in his delivery. He also said that he supposed he must have forgotten to deliver it. The seal was unbroken, and the money still in the letter. The brother stated, that he never gave any latter to the prisoner on the morning of the 25th to deliver for him; but, on being subjected to a severe cross-examination by the pri soner's counsel, admitted that he sometimes did so. The case for the prosecution having been closed, Mr. C. SAUNDERS addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that it was clear that the account given by the prisoner was a true one, and that it was absurd to suppose that if the prisoner had meant to steal the letter he would have kept it in his possession for the whole day with the seal unbroken. He also called several witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Baron PLATT summed up the case with great care, and the jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner. The trial of Lieutenant Hawkey is fixed (on the applica tion of Mr. Cockburn, Q.C.) far Thursday next. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) The court has been occupied nearly the whole day in the trial of a case, the only question in which was, whether a certain alleged sale of a boat was bona fide or fraudulent. It is now engaged in trying the first of the special juries; and here, also, nothing of public interest is involved, as the only question is the right to a certain ditch. situate on the turnpike-road, where the road from Dunstan to North Aston crosses it. Here Mr. Goodman's road lay to the right, and that of the deceased straight on. Mr. Whetton, a butcher, of Feddington, had •paid the deceased 61. the day before, and had walked with him to his house that night be tween twelve and one. Whetton, in returning from Dunstan, where he had been visiting, going towards the Fox Inn, came to a hollow, when his pony shied, and looking round him he saw a man lying on a heap of stones, and he also saw a grey horse without a rider on the road. At five the next morning, Joseph Butler, a labourer, discovered the body of the deceased on the heap of stones mentioned by Whetton. He was quite dead. There was blood on his hands and face. Butler not knowing who he was, went to the Fox, called up Mr. Rogers, the landlord, and they went together to where the body lay. A surgeon was immediaely sent for, who examined the body. A coroner's inquest was held on the same day, and a verdict, " Found dead," re turned. No suspicion of having caused the death of George Mobbs attached to any one, indeed it seems to have been supposed that it was accidental. On the 9th of March, in the present year, a man named Jacob Skerry, a travelling tinker, having been advertised in the Police Gazette, was ap prehended by George Morgan, a constable of Kingston, on a charge of robbing a farm-yard. He said immediately on being apprehended that he would tell the constable some thing about a murder. He was taken to Banbury gaol, and while there he showed great uneasiness, and told the gaoler he had something to say to him. The gaoler, after caution ing him, heard his statement, which was taken down in writing. Skerrry was taken before the magistrates, where he repeated the statement. He was made to repeat it on dif ferent occasions, and although he varied it, yet he adhered to the main points. In consequence of what he said, the pri soners, who are also travelling tinkers, leading a predatory life, were apprehended; but they denied it, and on a future occasion they made statements inculpating them Selves, and charging Skerry as a principal party. The first statement made by Skerry, on the 18th March, was substantially as follows :—I came to Deddington barn that night:to sleep and roam the yard. There was James Biddle and Sheriff with their camps. They said, will you go with us to South Newington and fetch some meat? I said I do not like such meat as that. They went and I followed them. I kept sight of them. There was a gentleman who came along the lane from the Fox on horseback ; he said, " Oh, I see who you are." Biddle said, " I d—n you, I see who you are." Sheriff said to Biddle, "D— his eyes, kill the —." The gentleman was off his horse, and I saw Biddle strike him with something which he held in his hand. I heard the blow and saw the gentleman fall. Before the blow Biddle said, "D— your eyes, you shall never dawn another day. light." Biddle and heriff both heard ma coming up; they' ran away, and I followed them. When I came up to the stile or rails, about a mile from Deddington, I found them sitting on it ; when I came up, Biddle said, "Oh, it's von, you —is it? If ever you splits on me, and says anything about me, I'll be the death of you." He then struck and stunned me. I saw them the next day at Deddington barge, but I never saw either of them from that time for nearly twelve months. I did not say anything about it. I did not for a month know the man was dead. I saw Biddle about a year afterwards, near Oxford. He said, " You re member that night against the Fox." I said, " Yes, I re member." He said, "Well, I finished him, and served him right." On the 27th of March Skerry was again brought before the magistrates, and there sworn to his statement, as the magistrates had determined to make him a witness against the prisoners. Skerry then made very much the same state ment, varying, however, in those particulars about what took place the morning after the murder. The prisoners Biddle and Sheriff on this occasion positively denied their guilt, and they were remanded until the llth of April, when Skerry made a third statement, which, however, was principally a more detailed account of what he had pre viously said. The prisoners were fully committed for trial, and as Mr. Morgan and Mr. Walker were tali ing Skerry and the pri soners to the county gaol, a conversation occurred which bore strongly on the case, in fact, formed the most conclusive por tion of the evidence against the prisoners. They, together with the constables, were proceeding in an open carriage with two seats; on the front seat were Skerry and Sheriff, with Mr. Walker, and Mr. Morgan was sitting on the back seat with Biddle. As they passed through Deddington they came opposite the farm where the deceased lived; previous to this, the prisoners had been talking about the copper which had been stolen, and Biddle had been taxing Skerry with telling lies, but when they came in sight of the house of the deceased, Biddle said, " Now we be coming to the place where truth should come out ; Mr. Morgan, you please tell the gentlemen, if I should be brought before them again, this is truth. Us are all three alike, and it was us as killed Mr.-Mobbs, and no one else, and I will show the limekiln where we were warm ing ourselves; when he came on to the gate we were sitting on the kiln and warming ourselves, and he said,' What are you scamps after?' Jacob (Skerry) made use of a gross ex pression, whereon Mr. Mobbs flew into a passion and told us to be off. We went into the turnpike road ; he followed us to the Fox. Jacob said he would go no further; they had words, but Isaac (Sheriff) could not hear, as he went down Dunstan lane. When we got to the hollow Mobbs overtook us, and said, Do you. think I am afraid of such scamps as you?' Jacob came up and struck him on the head ; I struck him. Mobbs said, " So' help me, Lord, for I know all three of them ;" and he cried out" murder" three times. He fought for life with a whip which he had in his hand. He cut this hole in my face (pointing to a mark he had in his ' left cheek), and loosed one of my teeth, which I pulled out in Painter's hovel the next day, and hid in the wall. He also hit Jacob with his whip on the head. Us should not have killed him if he had not followed us and been in such a passion. Isaac had got hold of his coat on the right side. Jacob hit the horse behind, to make him kick up, before I caught hold of the man's collar to kill him on the ground. Jacob struck him, and I struck him, and fell on him, I don't know which. I have been many times on my knees to pray to be forgiven since that day. Biddle then said, " This is truth, if I be hanged for it, and I dare say I shall, and I'll tell the gentle men so at Oxford." Sheriff said, " I hope I shall not be hanged, I don't mind being transported." Mr. J. J. lirsi.raaars addressed the jury for the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury retired; in about half an hour they re-entered the Court, and returned a ' verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The prisoners entered into rambling statements, asserting their innocence, and denying all they had said before the magistrates, and Biddle asserting he did not know what he was saying when he made the confession to Morgan in the presence of the other prisoner and Skerry. The Learned JUDGE then passed sentence of death in the usual form. Jacob Skerry, of whom so much mention is made, is him self a prisoner at Oxford, and will take his trial at the present assizes on a charge of sheep-stealing. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, the Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) The July adjourned Middlesex Sessions commenced on Tuesday, at Hicks's Hall, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar contained the names of only thirty-nine prisoners, of whom thirty-six were committed charged with felony. Thomas Gaines was indicted for stealing a bayonet and scabbard, value 7s. 6d., the property of our Sovereign Lady the Queen. _ _ The prisoner, who was evidently insane, upon being placed at the bar, loooked up to the Learned Judge, and exclaimed, with great familiarity, " How do you do, Mr. Sergeant Adams ?"—(Laughter.) The Learned JUDGE asked him whether he bad not been at Hanwell. The prisoner replied that he and the Learned Judge were both there together, soon after Sir William Ellis ; and assuming an air of considerable consequence, he added, he (the Judge) must recollect that well. The Learned JUDGE observed, with much good humour, that he had not forgotten it. He had been for many years a visitiag justice of the Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and during that time many persons thought him as mad as the patients themselves, because he so strenuously advocated the introduction of a mild and humane system of treat ment into the asylum for the insane poor at Hanwell, in the place of the barbarous system that had prevailed for ages. His labours and the anxiety which he then expe rienced from the attacks made upon the friends of humanity, and the incessant prognostications of failure, had nearly cost him his health and his life; but he rejoiced to live to see the day when their efforts were successful, and the principle was recognised and adopted in every asylum throughout Eng land. The evidence against the prisoner was that of a Chelsea pensioner, who deposed that he had come into his place at the hospital and asked whether he kept firearms, upon which he took down a belt and pouch, and bayonet and scabbard, and showed them to the prisoner, who, after looking at them, went away. Upon searching for the bayonet he found it was gone. The jury, under the direction of the Court, returned a ver-' diet of Not Guilty, upon the ground ofitisanity. The Court directed him to be taken care of, and that ap plication should be made in the proper quarter for his admis sion to a proper asylum. The prisoner's history is somewhat curious. He was an old Bow-street officer, and accompanied the late Sir Richard Birnie, with a body of constables, upon the evening of the 23d ofFebruary, 1820, to seize the Cato-street conspirators, who, with the notorious Arthur Thistlewood at their head, were making preparations to assassinate the Cabinet Mi nisters, who were dining with Lord Harrowby, at Grosvenor square. The conspirators were assembled, in a loft in Cato street, discussing the intended plan of operations, when the premises were suddenly surrounded by the constabulary, and upon endeavouring to mount the loft by a ladder, the lights were extinguished, and Smithers, one of the officers, was run through the body by Thistlewood, and poor Gains, who was near him, recei e yed a sword's thrust through the upper part of his skull, since which time he has had occasional attacks of insanity, and has been more than once in custody for assaults or other offences. In those fits he still fancies him self a Bow-street officer, and was, we believe, before the Court some time ago, for striking a man a terrible Slow over the head for refusing to recognise the authority of this pseudo Bow-street officer. The other trials presented no features of general interest. POLICI 7 ., INTELLIGENCE. THAMES. ROBBING THE MlNT.—Frederick Weise, Mary Ann Weise, and Eliza Burke, her daughter by a former marriage, were charged, the male prisoner with stealing and the two females with receiving a quantity of silver and some gold from the Royal Mint, on Tower- hill. It appears that the male prisoner, who is a German, about fifty years of age, was employed for the last four years as a labourer, at 30s. per week, in the melting-house at the Mint. Yesterday, in consequence of information received from a person named Francois Levelle, the male prisoner was sent for by Mr. Robert Mushet, who holds the office of master's second clerk, as well as that of assistant melter in the Mint. When he came to the door of the gold melting-house, Fran cois pat his hand into the prisoner's breast, saying " Fred. you have got some silver there," and, at the same time, drew out the two pieces of silver produced. Mr. Mushet said he was sorry to see that, and the prisoner made some reply, to the effect that he intended to put it into the mould. Mr. John Field, inspector of her Majesty's Mint, stated that he was sent for that day to the gold melting-house, where he found the male prisoner in custody. Witness having in formed him who he was, said the business was a very unfor tunate one, and added, that he must ask the prisoner some questions, which he might answer or not at his option. He then asked the prisoner where he resided, and the latter gave his address, No. 20, Princes-square, St. George's East. Witness said he must search his place, to which the prisoner replied that he was welcome to do so, as be had nothing of the kind at home, and th a t was th e first time he had ever committed - atr act - Of the sort. Witness' then searched the roam at the Mint where the prisoner was in the habit of de positing his clothes, but nothing was found there.. Witness then, having taken the prisoner into custody, proceeded with him, Mr. Mushet; and one of the messengers of the Mint, to the house in Princes-square. On coming within a feye, doors of it, witness, leaving the prisoner with Mr. Muslifet• and the messenger, entered the house, where he saw the elde4 female prisoner, who admitted that she was Wei,se's -wife.„ Witness took he r i n t o th e f ront par l our,-and asked 'lll-f -her husband worked in the Mint, to which she replied in tha affirmative.. Witness said he wanted to make, seine inquiries of her, on which she exhibited some alarm, and asked if any accident had occurred to her husband. Witness replied that he was well, and close at hand. He then asked her how many children she had, to 'which she replied, " Two, a son and a daughter." After that she became still more fidgety; and when witness told her Who and What he was, she said, "You shall see my daughter." She then went as if to call her daughter from the yard, though witness endeavoured to prevent her. She, however, rushed rapidly by him towards the back parlour, into which the younger female had previously gone, and locked the door. Witness then called to those who had charge of ' the male prisoner, and after several threats the young girl, Burke, opened the back parlour and came out... She at tempted to make her way down stairs, but witness seized and brought her'hack. Perceiving that she had her hands under her apron, he caught et them, and seized A black reti cule containing a quantity of Chinese silver and a few pieces of unwrought gold. He had not weighed the bullion, and therefore he coulp not swear to the quantity, but he had no doubt it had been taken from the Mint, and it corresponded with that found in the prisoner's possession. The male prisoner made no defence. The elder female said that her husband had brought her the pieces of ore, and told her he found them amongst the cinders, about four or five clays previously, and when she left the parlour she was going to tell the child to bring them. The girl Burke, who is only twelve years of age, had nothing to say. Mr. BRODERIP—What are the • male prisoner's weekly wages? Mr. Field—Thirty shillings, sir. Mr. BROD ERIP—You were in his house, how was it fur nished? Mr. Field—Quite as well as that of any respectable London tradesman. It had handsome pictures and other ap purtenances much above the prisoner's position in life. Mrs. Weise (quickly)—l had that furniture, and all those things, long before I married my present husband. Mr. B &ODER IP remanded the case for a week to afford an opportunity of perfecting the evidence. The case excited intense interest, being the first from the Mint since another labourer, who was employed there many years ago, most mysteriously disappeared, after having, as it then appeared, abstracted a hundred pounds' worth of un stamped bullion. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a determined-looking young man, named Thomns Smith, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged; with having forcibly entered the premises of Mr. Nichols, the landlord of the l3ricklayers' Arms, in Charles-street, Hackney road, for the purpose of committing felony. Mrs. Mary Nichols, the wife of the prosecutor, stated that, at a late hour on the preceding night, her husband being out of town, she caused the premises to be closed, and was about to retire to rest, when she was surprised to find that an inner door, communicating with the upper part of the house, and which was constantly kept locked, was wide open, it having evidently been opened with a picklock key. On pro ceeding up stairs to ascertain if she had been robbed, she was encountered on the landing by the prisoner, who had a heavy life preserver in his hand, and had just emerged from one of the bed-rooms. He advanced towards her in a threatening attitude, but she raised a great outcry, and re treated precipitately down the stairs, sharply followed by the prisoner, who made a rush towards the street-door and attempted to escape; she, however, resolutely seized him by the neck, and notwithstanding his violent efforts to dis engage himself, succeeded in holding him until some of the servants, who had been alarmed by her cries, came to her as sistance, and handed him over to the police. The prisoner had been drinking during the evening in the tap-room, and must have taken an opportunity to secrete himself while the customers were leaving. Policeman Mulcahy, 436 N, stated that on conveying the accused to the station and searching him, he found in his pockets, besides the life-preserver before mentioned, four skeleton keys, a quantity of lucifer matches, and a powerful "jemmy," or crowbar, to one end of which a heavy hammer head had been attached. The prisoner said nothing in refu tation of the charge, and on witness going back to the prose cutor's, and trying the skeleton keys that bad been taken from him, they were found to be capable of opening every ' door in Mr. Nichols's house. Kemp, another policeman, identified the accused as a noto rious offender, and the constant associate of the worst charac trs in the district. On being called upon for his defence, the prisoner declined offering any ; and Mr. BizzotrAm told him it was a fortunate circumstance for him tbat he had been detected in sufficient time to pre vent his taking any portion of the prosecutor's property, in which event he had no hesitation in saying that he would have been transported; as it was, there could be no doubt he had entered the prosecutor's ouse with a felonious inten tion, and he should therefore protect the p u bli c aga i ns t hi m for the next three months, by sentencing him to that term of confinement in the House of Correction, with hard labour, as a rogue and vagabond. The prisoner, who appeared to have anticipated an ac quittal, was removed to the cells. FAIRFIELD WORKS PROVIDENT SOCIETY. The works of the Messrs. Adams and Ralston, rail way carriage builders on the Eastern Counties Railway, became the scene last night of an interesting, though unpretending, demonstration. The evening was de voted by the mechanics belonging to the establishment to joyous and mirthful festivity, but festivity of a nature as far removed from what is vulgar and degrading as the mutual feeling of interest and kindness which existed, and was expressed between masters and men was un usual, and anticipative of incipient changes in the social condition of the people, which promise better things to those who come after. The Provident Society, which has existed for some three years among the workmen, numbers about 200 out of the 300 mechanics employed in the establishment, and has for its objects the usual benefits proposed by friendly societies. But the mem bers of this society at a late meeting deter mined almost unanimously to establish a library in connexion with it ; and, in order to put themselves in the way of making a fair start, resolved to have a tea party and ball, with admission by ticket, the surplus from which, after paying all expenses, should go to lay the foundation of a good mechanics' library. Accordingly a booth was erected on ground belonging to the works, on the edge of the Eastern Counties Railway, upwards of 300 feet long ; and ar rangements were made under the superintendence of the Messrs. Stevens for 400 ; but scarcely fewer than 600 could have been present on the occasion, consisting en tirely of the workmen and their female friends. It must be gratifying to know that this movement, as well as the society in connexion with which it sprung, originated spontaneously with the men themselves, who from the time that their number was but three till now, when their increase emboldens them to think of greater things, have continued to act independently. But it must also be told to the praise of the Messrs. Adams and Ralston, that from the moms nt that this movement on the part of the men assumed a definite form they nobly opened up every facility; and last night, by way of paying for their tickets—for nothing is done by them as a chariiy, or even in the spirit of patronage—the three of them con tributed 10/. each towards the proposed library. By four o'clock the arrangements were completed, and the booth presented an interesting appearance. One long table ran down the centre for nearly two-thirds of the whole length of the booth, which was flanked on either side by short transverse tables, abutting from the sides of the booth, and having ample space between them and the centre table for all the purposes and pleasure of festivity. From the centre beam of the tent hung co loured oil lamps, disposed in decorative figures along the length of the booth ; and behind the chair was stretched a transparency with these words on it, made visible from behind : " Fairfield Works Pro vident Society, established August Ist, 1843." Between four and five o'clock, an assembly, to the number of about 600, most respectably dressed, and all wearing that honest, hearty congenial look which testified there was good fellowship as well as good fare, sat down to tea. ___ William B. Adams, Esq., the senior partner of the firm, and President of the Society, took the chair, and was supported on the right and left by his brother, Samuel Adams, Esq., and Gerard Ralston, Esq., the other two partners, and by Dr. Stewart and Dr. Jones. The Chairman's lady, and other relatives, were present at tea. Tea having been concluded, The CHAIIIMAN, after a few words, gave " The Queen, the representative of order and rule in. Great Britain ;" which was received with three time thr e e, followed by the national anthem, by an instrum en t a l band in at tendance, who were accompanied by a vocal choir. The Chairman gave " Prince Albert and the Royal Family," which was received with all honour ; von Dank." song , Mynheer T to them he what eHAiit was AN more i m mediately thenroseandsl theh had business to introduceof the evening, " the Fairfield Works Provident Society. '—. (Cheers.) He said that scarcely three years had elapsed since the ground on which they stood was first selected from a scanty field, which was then mere potato ground. The scene, he was glad to say, was now altered as would best be seen in the crowd of smiling faces about him.— (Laughter and cheers.) It was a proud thing to be a captain of industry, better far than to be a captain of war ; but it was better still to be surrounded by a set of generous and intelligent operatives. As to what their prospects might be, he said they could gather that from the name of the establishment which had been chosen, not altogether without design; for " a fair field and no favour" was always their motto. They recognised no claims except personal claims, skill, ability, intel lect ; if a man had these, no matter where he might have been brought up. or had learned the first rudiments of his trade, he would meet with justice and equal treat ment at their establishment. (Hear, hear.) The Provident Society began with three members; it was begun by one to whom he and they were all under great obligation, he meant that kind-hearted individual Edward Corry.--(Cheers.) He felt that if their aim in instituting that society were properly understood and carried out, it would not remain a mere Pro vident Society, a mere savings' bank for the receipt of their surplus earnings, but much more—that it would become a teaching society—that kctures and classes for information and education would be grafted upon it ; when to be connected with the Fairfield Works would be deemed an honour in every workshop in Great Britain. But though he spoke thus, he said they had made it a principle with themselves always to act so towards their workmen as to leave their independence unaffected. The furthest they had gone was to give hints, and he was DIVISION OF PROFITS. The remarkable success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation, to declare a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent. on the premiums paid On each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY NEAR WEEDON.—David Wales was charged with assaulting Robert Bramstone, and robbing him of a watch and six sovereigns. Mr. Adams conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended. Robert Bramstone said he lives at Staverton. On the 26th of June, 1845, he came to Northampton to sell his pony. Sold him for 41. 10a. After he sold him he went on to Broughton-green, and afterwards returned to Nottingham, intending to go home to Staverton by a carrier. Being too late for a carrier, he walked on towards Weedon. Near Upton he saw two soldiers and a civilian. Hastened to them for company. Walked with them to Floore, where the two soldiers remained behind. The _prosecutor and the third man went on to Weedon, and went into the Queen's Head, a little beyond the barracks. Staved there about five minutes and left a little after eight. o'clock. It was quite light. At the toll-gate, just out of Weedon, the gate keeper said, " Master Bramstone; I see you have sold your pony." Prosecutor said, " Yes, I wish I had bought another, for I am scarcely able to walk home." Prisoner heard the conversation. Prisoner soon afterwards wanted him to go a shorter way through the field to Staverton. Prosecutor objected on account of the approaching darkness. They then proceeded on the highway to Daventry. A short distance further on prisoner loosed his stick from his bundle, and suddenly coming in front of the prosecutor, held up his stick, and said, " Now, old gentleman, give me up your money, or you are a dead man." Prosecutor said, " Don't " Prisoner said, " No; I'll have it." frighten me, I'm an old man ; let's go on t o D aventry an d have another serhohuatlfea ~ 1 Murder," and prisoner inst a ntly struckpii- him, and he fell senseless to the ground. When he came to himself he missed his watch and his money, and the prisoner was gone. Had never seen the prisoner since, until his ap prehension in London, but had no doubt he was the man. Prosecutor was sober. John Gabriel. a gunner in the Royal Artillery, and his comrade, identified the prisoner as being the person who was with them on the evening in question. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. OXFORD CIRCUIT.— Oxford, July 14. CROWN COUR l'.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE. ) MURDER.—James Biddle, aged 38, and Isaac Sheriff, aged 40, were indicted for the wilful murder of George Mobbs, in the parish of North Aston, on the 28th of Sept., 1842. This case has produced a great sensation in the county, from the fact of more than three years haring elapsed after the discovery of the body of the deceased before any tidings of the murderers were heard. Mr. Carrington and Mr. Pigott appeared for the prosecu tion. The prisoners were defended by Mr. J 'J. Williams. The deceased was a very respectable farrner residing at s A lone farm house, called bean - hill, in the parish of Noraston, in this county.

REPRESENTATION OF Ross AND CRODIARTY.—:We Un derstand that a requisition is in course of signature by the electors of the combined counties, soliciting Mr. Matheson, ALP., on public and private grounds, to allow himself to be put in nomination as a candidate for the representation of Ross and Cromarty in the next Parliament. Mr. Matheson has more than once been applied to on this subject ; but we hear that it was only on the retirement of the late Ministry, and the able exposition then given by Sir R. Peel, of his views of the policy which the welfare of the country de mands for its future government, that Mr. Matheson deemed it a public duty, paramount to all personal considerations, to comply with the wishes which had been addressed to him, should these be concurred in, by a suitable portion of the electors generally. We have no doubt they will; and these counties will thus have an opportunity of declaring their sentiments on the recent great and liberal reform of our commercial laws so successfully carried through by Sir Robert Peel, and on those principles of government and legislation at length adopted and avowed by him as neces sary for the future safety and well-being of the country.— Ross- shire Advertiser. We read in a letter from Pesth (Hungary)—" A re spectable woman, named Witrewlewsky, residing at Pesth, went last year to Kleinzell, to be present at the Fete Dieu, and took her daughter, a child of about eight years of age, with her. The child strayed away, and the mother, after seeking for her for a length of time, returned home, in great grief. This year again she went to Kleinzell, and one day, in passing along a street, heard a child crying, which re minded her of her little girl's voice. She bullied to the spot, and, in fsct, there beheld her daughter, but in a most deplorable condition ; she was nearly naked, and black with filth ; and with both her eyes out I She was hold ing out a wooden cup .to receive alms. Behind her was an old woman, who, at the moment that Madame Witrewlewski attempted to speak to the child, pushed her back, declaring that the girl belonged to her. The mother, with great emotion, cried out that it was her child, and that she must, have her. A crowd collected, and the old woman was taken into custody. When brought before a magistrate, she at first persisted in asserting that she had found the child in its present state of blindness in the streets, and had given her shelter; but afterwards, when pressed with ques tions, she acknowledged that she had the year before enticed the child-away and forced out her eyes with a knife, in order to enable her to excite compassion and obtain more abundant alms in begging. She was immediately committed for trial. By the laws of Hungary, the punishment for such a crime is to be broken alive on the wheel.— Galignani. BEST WATER FOR PLANTS.-It 111 well known that rain-water is far better than spring-water for promoting the growth of plants; this is from the former containing that which is a necessary ingredient in their formation—namely, ammonia; and which is abundant in liquid manure. The efficacy of this may be soon developed by sprinkling one-half of a grass-plot with spring -water, and the other half with water in which pounded carbonate of ammonia (about one ounce to the gallon) has been dissolved; the former wil keep it alive, but the latter will give it vigour and lazuri anee.— The Builder.
