SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS In the Times of yesterday we are told, on the faith of a correspondent, whose name of course is concealed, that the magistracy of Ireland is about to be weeded of every individual of property or independence, and stocked with none but those so blindly subservient to the great agitator, that the magistracy may become what, according to the Times, the Queen's troopssmow quartered in Ireland and the constabulary are—the ready tools of a Popish priesthood in all their villain• ous malpractices and outrages. This report, of course, has originated in the wise and manly course lately adopted y the Irish Government (to which we have had occasion so frequently to allude), in removing from the commission of the peace a gentleman whodid not hesitate to d:grade the office he held by appearing in the light, not alone of an indecent partisan, but of holding up to imitation and to honour a period distinguished by features of the most wanton persecution, in flicted, in the teeth of every feeling of humanity, upon his Catholic countrymen. That the magis tracy of Ireland requires a purging of no inconsider able strength we hesitate not to believe ; and we are equally convinced that the Irish Government will not lack either sagacity to discover the proper remedy, or courage to apply it, careless of a clamour similar to that which has attended their late just and vigorous act. But our chief object in referring to our Contem porary is to inhibit one of those outrageous violations of truthwhich dailydisfigure its columns, and make us only hold up our hands in astonishment at the recklessness with which the most astounding assertions are put forth to serve the purposes of the present moment. The ob ject laboured at by the Tory press is to persuade the English people that the Protestants of Ireland arc ex cluded from every post of dignity, emolument, and strength, and replaced by Papists, subservient to the interests of Mr. O'Connell, and ready to assist the priesthood in all their villainous malpractices. Thus we read in the Times of yesterday the following start ling statement : " The Queen's troops being under the command of Mr. Daniel O'Conneli's viceroy, it is clear that no check upon anarchy or insurrection can be looked for from such a source. By an act passed within these two years, the po lice or civil force of Ireland has been so remodelled as to afford a fruitful field of patrona g e to the Papist a g itat o r s , and through the friendly and liberal bias of the Castle has been so purged of Protestant dross, and so enriched with the precious metal of O'Connellism, as to answer all the pur poses of negative at least (if not yet active) assistance, to the villainous malpractices and outrages instigated by the Popish priesthood." Now, as to the British army, that portion of it now in Ireland being under the command of Mr. O'Con nell we shall say nothing, only hoping that that brave and honourable body will appreciate the delicacy of the compliment. But as to the composition of the police or civil force, we shall just insert the following table of the exact state of the case, and then let, our readers judge how apt an instrument it has become to wards accomplishing the villainous malpractices of the Popish priesthood. First, as to the Magisterial De partment, see how effectually the poor Protestants are shouldered from it : Protestants. Catholics. Thirty-two Lords Lieutenant of Counties Thirty-nine Stipendiary Magis- trates The almost exclusive Protestantism of the unpaid magistracy, is admitted by the limes: Now, look to the Constabulary, and see how omnipotent the vil lainous priesthood must be with such a weapon at its command Protestants. Catholics. Inspector-General Two deputies 2 Four provincial deputies 3 Chief clerk t Thirty-six sub-inspectors ... 32 188 chief constables Eighteen paymasters l5 212 38 Now, considering this, that the Papists are to the Protestants in this department as one to six, and that in the House of Commons they actually amount to a sixteenth of the entire body, who can doubt that the glory of this Protestant State is set for ever ? We cannot conclude without another quotation from the Times—which we shall treasure up, and refer to, whenever the Times shall expatiate on the blessings of a Tory Government, and a Pro testant ascendancy. The Catholics of Ireland constitute six-sevenths of the people. From the Re volution of 1688 up to the passing of the Emancipa tion Act, the Government of that country was a Pro testant ascendancy. A Protestant Church for 300 years has there existed, endowed with immeasurable funds, possessing all the means that wealth and power can bestow to ameliorate the condition and raise the moral standard of the people. Let the 'Times bear witness to how far that Protestant ascendance, assisted by its handmaid the Church, has produced those re sults for which alone a Government or institutions should exist, namely, the improvement of the people. The Times thus describes the present condition of the Catholics : u With the opposite party are to be found brute numbers —thick, deep, impenetrable ignorance —extreme poverty, ferocious passions, outrageous violence, contempt for law, recklessness of the future, a creed which places the multi tude in vassalage to a body of well-organised, artful, and aspiring teachers, who regard the Protestant State no other wise than as a foe with whom their interests, if not their duties, bind them to wage everlasting warfare, until they shall have filially overturned it, and transferred its resources to themselves." This after 150 years of Protestant ascendancy, and this put forward by a Journal bellowing daily for a revival of that ascendancy !—Morning Chronicle. TIIE " APOLLO" STEAM SH IP.—Numerous un expected difficulties have occurred to retard the efforts making for raising the Apollo steam-ship, but it should seem from a letter received yesterday morning by Mr. Bleadon, Secretary to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, that Captain Bush, who has the ,superintendence of th e operations going on, entertains sanguine hopes that all diffi culties are at last surmounted, and that, if the weather does but continue moderate, he shall be able to raise the wreck within 0 4 hours. When got to the surface the same means by which the buoyancy necessary for upraising her was im parted will be maintained in action to keep her afloat while manual and mechanical forces are being app!i , d for carrying her in shore, and placing her as high upon the beach as the state of the tide and other circumstances will permit. It is only during the hour before and that next following high water that the principal operations by which the ves sel is expected to be raised, can be carried on. The inter mediate time is occupied in minor arrangements, in making descents with the diving apparatus to ascertain what changes may have taken place in the state of the wreck, and in ad justing the tackle, and making preparations for the next vi gorous attempt at upraising. The large green buoy laid down by the Trinity Company to mark the locality of the wreck, has ceased to answer the designed purpose, having either drifted away or been carried away by some vessel. The remains of the unfortunate stewardess of the Apollo, Mrs Ann Jones, have been buried in Gravesend church yard. All the expenses of a respectable funeral were de frayed by the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, and the poor woman was followed to the grave by numerous relatives. On Monday evening an inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital, on view of the body of James Hughes. It appeared from the evidence of Thomas Hughes, the brother of the deceased, that he was occasionally employed in the service of Mr. Balls, an extensive omnibus proprietor at Brixton-hill, and that on the Tuesday previous, being somewhat in liquor, he was passing through the stable to the hay-loft, where, under such circumstances, he usually slept, when he received a kick on the side of the face, but of which he took no notice for several days. On Friday night last witness eal:ed him to assist in dressing his horses, and only receiving a few incoherent sounds for an answer, thought he was drunk, and took no further notice of the ma tt er . The next morning, however, when deceased came down to his breakfast, his month was turned crooked, and his jaws appeared to be quite fixed. A surgeon was then, for the firit time, applied to, and he directed him to be con veyed to the hospital. In answer to several questions from the jury, he said that if the mare were not t ouc h e d s h e would not kick, but, in other respects, she was so vicious " that she would not allow another horse to look at her." Mr. W. Cuthbert, house-surgeon, s tated that the deceas e d exhibited decided symptoms of lock jaw when he was brought to the hospital, ar.d of which he died in it few hours. Ver dict—Accidental death. Some time ago a publisher of periodicals applied for his discharge in the Insolvent Court, and described himself a " proprietor of the World !! !"

The settling for the St. Leger took place this morning at the betting-room, and went off much in tho usual way. A good deal of money changed hands ; but, as one party had travel southward to scrape together enough to meet a deficit of about 3,0001., and one or two others were rather shot t, the whole amount of the winnings (in all about 25,0001.) gds not forthcoming. Mango, although unengaged, is still at Don caster, and will remain until Friday, to enable Mr. Herring, the animal Fainter, to complete his portrait for the MN rxr. Egcria will also remain until Friday, to run fur the cup. We are happy to state that Scott is going on very favourably, and that there arc hopes of the injury not being of a nature to pre vent his riding when restored to health. The racing to-day was very poor ; not that this is at all un common, fur it is the custom here to put the poor and uninte resting races into Wednesday's list, in order that the settling may Out be interrupted, and that the visitors may have a rest between the Leger and Cup days.

BRIGHTON, WEDNII6DAT.—The last grand match this sea son, Sussex (with Fuller and Pilch) against all England, is now being played in Brown's grounds. It commenced on Monday morning, and was not over yesterday afternoon ( Wed nesday), when this account was despatched. Sussex made an excellent first innings, scoring 104, out of which number Pilch obtained 38 from his bat. England scored 120 the first inn ings, Wenman (a Kentish player) scored half the number, playing a desperate but manly game, running from his ground, and meeting Lillywhite's ball, which he struck in all direc tions, scoring several fours in succession. The " nonpareil" bowler, who is admitted to bowl with more precision, and better length balls, than any man in England, appeared perfectly as tounded at Wenman's assurance ; but the latter took it very quietly, and for a length of time defied all their efforts to get him out. At length Lily dropped the ball short, Wenman struck with great force, but he did not take the ball full, and he was caught easily by the bowler. In the course of the match the scientific batting of Pilch excited the greatest admi ration. At three o'clock Sussex had two wickets to be put down, and had headed their opponents upwards of 100. Pilch scored more than half the number, and it is confidently expected that Sussex will add another laurel to its brow. The game is not expected to tcrmiaate to-day. Four splendid carriages, manufactured expressly for the King of Hanover, by Messrs. Adams of the Hay market, were last week shipped for that country ; they consist of two phaetons, a landau, and a chariot. They are made on the same principle, and with the same decora tions, as the Royal carriages of this country, and bearing, in addition to the Royal arms of England, the White Horse of Hanover. The beauty and elegance of their style and build excited universal admiration. On Wednesday a case of an unparalleled description was brought before Bailie Small, in the Police Court. Two men, Joseph Smith and Duncan Mitchell, were put to the bar accused with " wickedly, maliciously, and viciously biting each other's noses off, and otherwise maiming one another, in a house in the Old Wynd, the previous evening ;" and never before, even in the Police Office, did we witness two such figures. The dress of both was torn to rags, and their faces were covered, in every direction, with scars, bloody scratches, and other marks of savage violence ; while large white plaisters enveloped the spot where the nasal organs of the cannibals had formerly luxuriated, but which, with all the soldering together and patching up of the skil ful surgeon of the establishment, gave now very slight indi cation of bone fide nose at all. Smith had also about an inch or so of finger bitten off, and, but for the timely inter ference of the Police, it is probable one or other, if not both, of the brutes would have been worried. Altogether their appearance at the bar was rather ludicrous than otherwise. They stared at the grotesque countenance of each other, and seemed satisfied to this extent—that exceedingly little advan tage had been gained by either ; while the audience appeared not to know whether to laugh at or commiserate the objects before them. After an appropriate address from the Ma gistrate on the ferocious and unmanly conduct of the pri soners, they were ordered to pay the doctor's bill for put ting together what remained of their heads, and dismissed. —Glasgow Herald. JOINT STOCK BANKS.—The tendency of these establishments to keep the currency from being driven in, is m intained by the Economist. In this publication two documents appear : one is a table of the amount of stamps issued to Country Bankers in the years 18'23, 1824, 1825, and 1826, omitting the I/. notes which were withdrawn in the interval. The other is an account of the aggregate amount of notes circulated in England and Wales by Pri vate Banks and Joint Stock Banks and their Branches ; distinguishing Private from Joint Stock Banks.—( From Returns directed by 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 83.) Of the latter our contemporary says, "This table, contrasted with the previous one, shows not only that during the late pres sure the circulation was pretty well sustained, but that it was so sustained solely by the strength and elasticity of the Joint Stock Bunk circulation, that of the Private Banks still exhibiting, notwithstanding the support of the Joint Stock Banks, a tendency to give way"—adding, " this must naturally make a great difference between the present period and 1823 ; and this difference, we consider, we are now experiencing, for trade has begun already to revive, whereas it was some years before it began to recover itself after the pressure of 1825." The French iron-workers at Forchamhault, in the department of the Nievre, are exceedingly jealous of the English artisans, who get higher wages than they, but who, after all, have taught the trade in that department. Several English workmen, Lewis, Morgan, and Humphries, were at tacked on the 15th •l' August. Their houses wet.; beset, their windows broken, and Morgan was saved by a French baker, in whose house he took refuge. Seven of the refractory were brought up the other day for trial, and condemned to terms of imprisonment—some for six months, some for two. On Saturday last an inquest was taken at Coppul, on the body of Thomas Balton, a collier, of about 26 years of age. On the Thursday morning preceding deceased was working next the Burgh colliery ; they were getting some pillars out to make the road wider, and as witness (Ilalliwell) was hollowing the drive he told deceased to stand up a little higher ; witness had previously examined the root; and it appeared to be very solid. In the course of the operation witness heard a crack, which he mentioned to his fellow-labourers ; in less than a minute, however, the roof of the pit gave way, and the earth fell upon the deceased and knocked him down ; witness should suppose that upwards of twenty tons' weight fell from the roof ; the men immediately set to work to clear away the rubbish, and in about an hour and a quarter the deceased was got out, but he was quite dead ; his back and one arm were broken and his head severely crushed ; there was no neg lest on the part of any of the persons coneeraed flout the pit, and there was no suspicion that the roof wa - s weak. The jury found a verdict of accidental death.—Preston Chronicle. TILE SUN, LONDON, FRI CRIMINAL COURT.-THURSDAY. OLD COURT. James ,11•Conachy, aged 19, Joseph Awlrews, aged 21, James Moore, aged 17, and 11 7 illiain Giles, aged 17, were indicted for burglaricusly breaking and entering into tl:e dwelling-house of Henry Whiffen, in the parish of St. Paul, Deptford, and stealing therein a purse and six sove reigns, the property of Francis Puig, and thirteen spoons, and a variety of other articles, belonging to Henry Whiffen. After having heard the evidence, which was conclusive against M . Conachy and Andrews, 'the Jury returned a verdict of guilty against those prisoners, and not guilty as respected Moore and Giles. The two latter prisoners were again indicted for stealing a violin, two flutes, and other articles, the property of the Rev. Joseph Prendergast. The case was clear against Moore ; but not so as regarded Giles, who was accordingly acquitted. CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.—John Saun ders, aged and Char les Thompson, aged :37, were found guilty on two indictments, charging them with having stolen two valuable watches. The prisoners were in the habit of representing them selves as brothers, and of respectable connections. They used to go to various houses, and, under the pretence of' looking for lodgings, plunder them of watches, trinkets, and any other thing of value that lay about the apartments. This they did in two cases proved before the Court, namely, in the house of a lady named Fletcher, from which they stole a gold watch worth 211., and also in' the house of a MI s. Newsome, from which they stole a watch, value 61. NEW COURT. Thomas Stokes, aged 33, was indicted for stealing 200 yards of canvas, 200 yards of Hessian, divers tools, and other articles, the property of the West India Dock Corn pane, to whom he was a servant ; and William Wagstag; aged 27, and James Hallam, aged 34, were charged with feloniously receiving part of the same property, knowing it to have been stolen. There were other indictments of a similar nature against the prisoners. Thomas Peek, a police constable, on the Bth of August was in Bath -street, City-road, when he saw a man named Miller carrying a burden in a lar g e bag. He asked him what he had got, and he r epli e d he did not know, and then pointed to the prisoner Wagstaff as the owner of the load he was currying. Witness then put the same question to him, as to what was the contents of the hag. He replied, " That's my business, and not yours." He then asked him from whence he had brought the package, and he replied, " From Hackney, and that it contained bags." Witness told him he could not have come from Hackney, as he was proceeding in the direction of that village. Not being sa tisfied with his account, he took both the men to the sta tion-house. On opening the package he found that it con tained 46 pieces of canvas, measuring 138 yards. A few days after this be apprehended Stokes, and proceeded to Walworth to search his premises, in company with Mr. Williams, one of the dock clerks. He found an axe and other carpenor's tools there which belonged to the prose cutors. Having found out that Wagstaff lived in a court in Beech-lane he proceeded thither, and found that the pro perty he had seized had been taken from that house. George Miller is a porter. On the Bth of August he Was in Caleman-street, looking out for a job, when Wag staff hired him to carry the property now produced from Boxhall-court, Beech -street, to ' the Green Man, in Hox ton, and he was on his way thither when the officer appre hended both of them, and placed them in the station-house. Thomas Cooper, an officer connected with the Com pany, saw a person of the name of Ridley (charged in the next indictment), in company with Stokes, one day at the warehouse. Witness followed him when he left, and saw him join Wagstaff and Hallam in the Minories. (He was called to prove a connection between all the prisoners.) The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Stokes and Wagstaff, and acquitted Hallam. Mr. CLARKSON said that a man of the name of Sibley was included in the other indictments, and they must all be tried upon another charge at least. It was finally arranged that the other indictments should be tried to-morrow (this day.) There is a distinct charge against Hallam, connected with an extensive wool robbery on the banks of the Thames, a few years ago. An extraordinary courier arrived with despatches, yesterday, from Berlin, for the Prussian Embassy. Baron Bulow returns to this country in November, the Baroness after Christmas. The alarm on account of the cholera in the Prussian capital was subsiding. On Friday night, as the Star Liverpool coach was proceeding on its journey, the coachman observed a man lying across the road at Redburn, about seven miles be yond St. Alban's. He immediately pulled up, and calling to the guard, Cie latter got down to remove the man from his dangerous situation ; but at the very instant, and before lie could pull him out of the way, the Halifax mail dashed by, and the wheels passing over the upper part of his body, killed him on the spot. It appeared that the unfortunate man, who was a farmer's servant named Ab bott, had got dead drunk and fell asleep on the spot where lie came by his death. The night was very dark, and the mail came so suddenly up, that the guard was taken quite by surprise ; had it been half a minute later the man's life would have been saved. Hevey, the notorious convict, has been recaptured. He is a native of this town, where his mother, wife, and other relatives are still living. In 1833 he was convicted at Durham Assizes for burglary, for which he was sen tenced to transportation for life. It appears that he found means to escape from Sydney, and has been occasionally seen in Sunderland and the neighbourhood for the last two years—that he was even present on the race-course during the races two summers ago. The circumstances attending his escape are said to be as follows :—That he, with 13 other convicts, were employed to assist in conveying a provision-ship of the Colony from Sydney to some other destination, and that they all effected their escape in the said vessel, the Captain of which has never been since seen or heard of ; but the rumours in circulation do not afford any particulars as to what became of the vessel and the other part of her crew.—Sunderland Herald. DEAT II BY POISON.—An inquest was he'd on Saturday in Jervis-street Hospital, by Sir Nicholas Brady, on the bod ) of Mary Jackson. The f o llowing was statement on evidence :—On Tuesday morning last the kitchen mai,i named M'Culloch, in the house of colonel Burrowes, Clondalkin, poured poison in the tea which was intended for the use of the butler and housemaid (the de ceased). On the butler and deceased filling out the tea, the latter drank a cup full, but the former did not finish his. Shortly afterwards the deceased was seized with vio lent spasms in the stomach, and was obliged to go to bed ; the butler was also sick, but recovered Oefore night, and on Thursday evening the deceased expired after two days' violent torture. The inquest was accordingly held yester day, and a verdict returned—that the deceased came by her death in consequence of swallowing a poisonous ingre dient. Biddy M'Culloch, who committed the barbarous act, was committed to Newgate, to stand her trial.—lrish Paper. BANKING AND MORA the last Number of the Economist, is the following extract from Mr. Gil bert's Treatise :—" Banking exercises a powerful influence upon the morals of society ; it tends to produce honesty and punctuality in pecuniary engagements. Bankers, for their own interest, always have a regard to the moral cha racter of the party with whom they deal ; they inquire whether he be honest or tricky, industrious or idle, pruden't or speculative, thrifty or prodigal ; and they will more rea dily make advances to a man of moderate property and good morals, than to a man of large property, but of infe rior reputation. Thus, the establishment of a bank in any place immediately advances the pecuniary value of a good moral character. There are numerous instances of persons having arisen from obscurity to wealth only by means of their moral character, and the confidence which that charac ter produced in the mind of their banker. It is not merely by way of loan or discount that a banker serves such a person, he also speaks well of him to those persons who may make inquiries respecting him ; and the banker's good opinion will be the means of procuring him a higher degree of credit with the parties with whom he trades. These effects are easily perceivable in country towns ; and, even in Lon don ; if a house be known to have engaged in gambling or smuggling transactions, or in any other way to have acted discreditably, their bills will he taken by the bankers less readily than those of an honourable house of inferior pro perty. It is thus that the bankers perform the functions of public conserva'ors of the commercial virtues. From motives of private interest, they encourage the industrious, the prudent, the punctual, and the honest, while they dis countenance the spendthrift and the gambler, the liar and the knave. They hold out inducements to uprightness, which are not disreg:srded by even the most abandoned. There is many a man who would be deterred from disho nesty by the frown of a banker, though he might care but little for the admonitions of a bishop." Wednesday an inquisition was taken before Mr. Stir ling, at the Laurie Arms, Sholdhum-street, Edgeware-road, on view of the body of Mary Ann Rowland, aged 21. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased lived with her parent at No. 2, Sholdliam-street. She was of very gay habits, and through her father's indulgence she was frequently at balls, theatres, and concerts. Latterly she showed symptoms of aberration of mind, and which in creased during the last few da;, s. About two o'clock on Monday she was seen by her father, who met her in Horner-row on her way home. Not having been seen for two or tin - hours after, and the door of her bedroom being faster. ,l in the inside, it was burst open, when she iwip found s:.,pended by a cord from a nail in the wall. She was cut clowT, but life was found extinct. Verdict---" Tem porary insanity." JAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1837. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Jew, named Beitjainin Lyons, was brought before Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL, charged with having gone on board a steam-vessel, for the purpose of committing a robbery. Rangecroft, the officer, who has the steam-boat wharfs at London Bridge under his superintendence, stated, that at ten o'clock yesterday morning, the prisoner walked on board one of the steamers a hich was just about to start, carrying with him a carpet-bag full, and apparently very heavy. Witness suspected that the "bag meant no good," and hav ing kicked it, found that there was some very unyielding substance inside. He then took the liberty to examine it, and found half-a-dozen large bricks at the bottom, covered with a great coat. He had reason to believe that an ex change of property was contemplated by the prisoner in the course of the voyage, and took him into custody. Inspector M•Legn said that the prisoner appeared to tie in a very drjected state upon being brought before him, and had stated that, on account of the distresses of his family. he had determined to put an end to himself by dropping along with the bricks into the Thames. Rangecroft believed the prisoner had gone on board a steam-vessel about ten days ago for the same purpose, but he did not accomplish his object, as a carpet bag full of brick s was f oun d i n t h e p l ace o f a carpet b ag containing different sorts of property, at the same time that the pri soner was missed.—(A laugh.) The prisoner said that he redly felt tired of life, and meant nothin g less than t.o make away with himself. An odd occurrence was described as having taken place on board a steam-vessel a short time ago. A passenger, who had but a scanty stock of travelling articles in a car pet bag, deposited it in a certain part of the vessel, and soon afterwards saw another passenger stow away, next to it, a carpet bag o f s i m il ar di mens i ons, b ut ev i dently con taining more substantial property. After the vessel had got as far as Greenwich the owner of the heavy bag, who had been drinking a little too much, called a boat, and in a reckless manner, and greatly to the delight of the other pas sengers, seized that which did not belong to him and went ashore, leaving behind him his own. With his eyes fixed upon the bag which the drunken fool had abandoned, the cunning fellow, who enjoyed the blunder, arrived at Graves end, and he rapturously sweated under the delicious weight till he arrived at an old building, when, upon empty ing, the bag, he found that it had been crammed with congenial brick and mortar. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Win. Henry Atkins, aged 40, was, finally exa mined, charged with bigamy. Susannah Green, a well looking woman, about 30 years of age, in 1831 was living as servant in Cobham, in Buckinghatnshire, when the pri soner became acquainted with her, and represented himself as a single man, and a farmer. He continued to pay his addresses to her, and proposed marriage, and the ceremony took place at Cobham Church by the Rev. Mr. Webster. Elizabeth Charlotte Grafton, aged 22, of Canonbury lane, Islington, proved that the prisoner married her by banns on the 4th of last June, at Hoxton Church. He represented himself as a widower. The certificates of both marriages were produced, and several witnesses gave testimony to substantiate the charges, and to prove the existence of his first wife, who was residing at Acton, he having married three wives. The prisoner was fully committed. QUEEN-S Q Uri RE. Mr. George Wood, of Northumberland Wharf, Strand, was yesterday charged on a summons with neglecting to furnish a waggon for the conveyance of some soldiers to their quarters. Mr. GREGORIE inflicted the penalty of 40s. and costs. A woman of loose habits, named Clarke, and a private in the Ist Regiment, named Saunderson, were charged with having picked a man's pocket. The girl was com mitted for one month, and the male was held to bail. UNION-HAIL. Yesterday David Koehler, waiter at Wolfe's dining rooms in Clement's-lane, was brought before Mr. JEREMY, charged on suspicion with stealing a purse containing six sovereigns from the person of Thomas Walton, a police man of P division. After hearing evidence, Mr. IRVING discharged the ac cused, and recommended him to institute proceedings against the policeman for the un f oun d e d accusat i on h e h a d brought against him. Mr. 111;nck Mason was charged with having committed an assault upon a Mr. Williams, in Vauxhall-gardens. The MAGISTRATE having patiently heard the whole cir cumstances, pro and con., advised a reconciliation between the parties, by their mutually apologizing to each other. Mr. Mason expressed his,willingness to comply with the Magistrate's suggestion, ball/h. : Williams refused, and the warrant being discharged, the latter gentleman said that he should adopt other proceedings. The MAGISTRATE granted Mr. Mason a certificate to protect him from legal proceedings on the part of Mr. Williams. TOWN-HALL. A woman of the town, named Prudence Barton, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE, charged with robbing David Morris, a Scotchman, of three half-crowns and some odd half-pence. Divie stated his case in the mother tongue of sweet Edinburgh, and did not disguise that he was unto fou, or thcreaway, between twelve and one yesterday morning, when the lassie at the bar made a dead set at him, and whilst he was merely desiring her to gang her gait, she, by some deevlish trick or other, contrived to ease him o' his siller. Prudence denied the fact, and said she was far too pru dent a woman to do a thing of the kind. Sir PETER (turning to Davie)—l'm afraid you're a little loose in your morals, Davie. How came you, so far north as you are, to suffer this woman to rob you ? Davie—Loo.e in my morals, Sir Peter ? Was the like ever heard ? It's not in probabeelity that my thoughts could wander in the direction your Worship is aiming it, a man o' my years. I'm pairfaitly shocked at the suggestion. Sir PETER—WeII, I thought it was impossible, too, that you could fall in love with a woman with one eye (the case with the prisoner). What would you have me do with her? Davie—Why, I'm ready to tell your worship—send her till the gaol, and I'll bargain she'll be no long there till she catch a Southran that has two, and then there'll he three between them. Sir PETER—I can hardly believe you, Davie, but you parleyed with this woman longer than you ought. Now, as a Scotsman, tell me the truth.- Davie—You're Honour touches me noo. I will no deny that when a woman talks to a man, if there's life in a muscle it will move him, as your Honour kens.—( Loud laughter, in which Sir Peter joined heartily.) Sir Peter inquired if the woman was known to the offi cer, and being answered in the negative, and no money found upon her, she was discharged, and Davie admonished to abstain from entering into temptation for the future. The offence of sheep-stealing has, during the last five or six weeks, been greatly on the increase in the neigh bourhood of Ruislip, Hillingdon, Tottenham, Harefield, and the adjoining villages in the counties of Middlesex, Hertford, and Buckingham. Scarcely a farmer has escaped a visit from the nocturnal depredators, and several of them have, during the above period, had five or six stolen. On the morning of Saturday last, Mr. James Ewer, of Hill farm, Brookmcath, near Ruislip, on entering his fields, discovered that during the previous night a fine south down ewe had been slaughtered, the legs and shoulders having been taken away, and the rest . of the carcass left behind. Mr. Ewer has offered a reward of 101. for the discovery of the thieves. THE LATE WRECKS.—A considerable degree of iaterest is kept up at Gravesend by the different processes that are now pursued in raising the two vessels, the Apollo steamer, and the Jane, of Sunderland, wrecked off Tilbury Fort last winter. The first is to be raised by the means of large India-rubber air-bags, which, after being sunk and attached to the vessel, will be inflated with atmospheric air, and which it is expected will float the vessel. The Jane, which is a collier of the largest class, and had on board when sunk about 400 tons of coals, is to be floated by means of large tanks, which arc sent down full of wa ter, and after being secured to the wreck, the water is to be drawn out, the buoyancy of which is to float the brig. A great number of boats are off both wrecks with parties ❑early all day, to witness the novelty of the descent of the men without the use of' the diving-bell. The watermen will reap a rich harvest by the curiosity that the weighing exc i tes . There is much difference of opinion as to which is the best plan. Th e majority seem to be in favour of the t ks.—Maidstone Journal. REMA RKABLE REcovERY.—A- female in the parish of Aldborouth, lately in an act of frenzy, took an ounce of mercury (white arsenic), with an intention of de- . stroying herself; but immediately disclosed what she had done. A surgeon was shortly afterwards procured, who, before the poison bad been upon the stomach an hour, suc ceeded in removing it both from that viscus and the bowels. Appropriate means were diligently used, and, wonderful to relate, she is now in a hopeful way of recovery. The quantity of poison which had been taken was sufficient to destroy more than a hundred healthy persons ; this was proved to be the fact by the analysis of matters taken from the stomach, and also the bowels. The above case proves that if timely aid is procured, even when the most deadly po i s r,n has been taken, a perfect recovery may be brought a b ou t.—Mill Observer. Abernethy used to say, " Give the stomach a fair c h ance , and Health will win the race I" To cleanse it, there fore, and so purify the system by such a Medicine qs M'o rison's l igh iq regular doses, must be highly important. CHRI ST'S HOSPITAL. Yesterday, according to long custom, the annual speeches were delivered at Christ's Hospital by the senior scholars. The sermon, previous to the speeches, was preached by the Rev. Mr. Dale ; it was a very eloquent and im pressive address. By twelve o'clock the great Hall of the building (a room of the largest dimensions) was almost filled with expectant auditors ; every scat, except those reserved for the Lord Mayor, the City authorities, t•ie Clergy, &c., wls occupied. The whole appearance of the immense congregation was most animating, and, from the great number of elegant females who were present, presented one of the finest spectacles of the sort ever wit nessed within the walls of Christ's Hospital or elsewhere. It was nearly two o'clock before all the boys of the esta blishment had taken their seats in a gallery at the end of the Hall in which the organ is placed. The gallery ap• ppared to have been erected for their accommodation, and the effect of their being all collected together and placed in such a way as to be seen by every person present was very good. At two o'clock the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, Aldermen Farebrother, Cowan, Lucas, &c., and many of the leading merchants of the City, attended by the civic officers and by almost all the persons connected with the Corporation who could be spared from the Central Criminal Court, entered the Hall and took their seats. The Hall was at this time so completely thronged, that with the ex ception of a comparatively narrow avenue in the middle of it, in front of his Lordship, there was not a spot without an occupant; nearly five thousand persons, upon a rough calculation, were present. As soon as the Lord Mayor had seated himself, the platform from which the orations are delivered was wheeled round in front of him, and the more immediate business of the day cons menced. The Latin oration, on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals was spoken by Charles Henry Middleton, third Grecian. This young gentleman, who is about to leave the place of his education, and whose progress, from the specimen exhibited yesterday, is very creditable both to himself and Mr. Rice, and the assistant masters in the hospital, and proceed to Oxford, acquitted himself admi rably. There was a natural cadence in the tones of his voice, and no monotony either of gesticulation or utterance. The oration itself was a 2ood specimen of Latin style, con taining fewer common-places than such thiegs generally do, and not abounding with inflated and vapid epithets. The English oration, which succeeded, was also on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals. It was delivered by Edward Humirreys Parry (second Grecian) who is about to proceed to the University of Cambridge. It contained an apt illu sion to the virtues of William IV., to his condescension and affability of manner, his support of the institution, and his kindness of demeanour on occasions of the annual presen tation of the scholars of the Hospital at his Court, and con eluded with a hope, from the condescension, benevolence, and kindness of her present Majesty, that she would imi tate the example of her predecessor. The Greek Od• 'o the ,Queen was spoken by Frederick Nash (fourth Gre cian.) It was eulogistic of her virtues, and was deli vered with great felicity of pronunciation, accent, and emphasis, by the youthful speaker. The Latin ode to the Queen, delivered in a very eloquent manner by Ethe ridge Minchin (fifth Grecian), was also eulogistic of the virtues of the Sovereign. It had something Horatian about it, and without being a plagiarism of the words of the Ro man bard, made good use of his hints and his manner. Wolsey's soliloquy and address to Cromwell, and a transla Lion, necessarily paraphrastic, of it into Latin hexameters, was given by. Robert Andrews (sixth Grecian), who spoke with considerable pathos. William Roberts, (first Gre cian), who is shortly to proceed to the University of Oxford, closed the orations of the day by speaking the English poem on the Royal Hospitals, which he did with great success. A collection, in accordance with old custom was then mock for the scholars by the company, and if a judgment may be formed from the jingling of the money into the gloves which were handed about as recipients, it was a large one. This is the largest meeting which has taken place for some years in the great hall on the anniversaries. The orations were of a high character, and show very satisfactorily that classic literature still flourishes, and is likely long to flourish within the walls of the edifice. It was a considerable time before the company could depart, so great was the number, though some additional facilities were afforded for their egress. AN AFRICAN THIEF DETECTED.—I have ever found the natives peaceable and well-disposed, and, with the exception of their pilfering propensities, easily managed. Stealing I have never overlooked, and, during the time we were aground, I flogged above a score of them for theft, both masters and slaves. One fellow was caught so neatly in the very act, that I cannot forbear re!ating the circum stance. Dr. Briggs was lying on one of the sofas in the cabin, reading, when a woolly head made its appearance at one of the side ports, and a black paw seized upon my dressine , box, which was lying within reach from the window. The Doctor made a spring, caught the fellow by the ears, and called out lustily for assistance. As the fellow's com panions in the canoe were hauling him down by his legs, one of the men jumped down to the cabin to relieve the Doctor, and two of my Kroomen stepped into the canoe and gave the culprit thus caught in fiagrante dclicto three dozen lashes in a style that would not have disgraced any boatswain's mate in his Majesty's service. I never found that this severity did any harm ; in fact, it was always applauded by the natives, who, thieves themselves, think, in common with their more civilised brethren, that the dis grace lies not in the act, but in the detection of_the theft.— Laird's Narrative of the Last Krpedition into Central Africa. On Monday the passengers by the Umpire coach, from Leeds to Manchester, witnessed two of the most dis tressing accidents which we remember to have heard of for a considerable time. When the coach had passed Delph about a mile, and during its progress up a hill, the passen gers were alarmed by a cry from a child of " Oh, my mother! my mother!" The coachman immediately pulled up, and a boy, apparently about 12 years of age, was found lying close to one of the hind wheels, blood running from him in a stream, and his left leg wrenched off by the knee. It appeared from the statement of the unfortunate little sufferer that he had been clinging to the coach for the pur pose of riding (a very dangerous practice, to which boys are much addicted), and his leg becoming entangled in the wheel the above dreadful result was produced. On the boy !reing discovered in that situation the passengers imme diately alighted, and humanely directed every possible assis tance to an alleviation of his sufferings. While they were so engaged a young man who had remained on the top of the coach swooned away at the melancholy sight before him, and fell with great force from the vehicle, the front part of his head coming in contact with the ground. The blood gushed from him profusely. He was at first thought to be dead, the pulse having wholly ceased, and every sign of life being entirely gone. He continued in this state for some time, when at length re-animation took place, and after a short interval he was placed inside the coach, and conveyed to Oldham, at which place he was left in the hands of a surgeon. His left collar-bone was found to be broken, hi s head much lacerated, and it was feared the skull was frac tured. He is recovering. A New CoAcll.- - - - -There is now in course of building, at a coachmaker's in the metropolis, a coach of a description at once novel, elegant,.and safe. It is the in vention of a scientific gentleman, named Stafford, who has secured a patent for the same. Before we give a descrip tion of the vehicle, it may be proper to state that, on the suggestion of the superintendent of the royal mails, a si milar coach, intended for the country, was built, in order that its mechanical construction might be fully and prac. tically tried and tested. Accordingly a public trial of one built at Nottingham was made, in presence of several hundreds of the most respectable inhabitants of that town. Frisby, an experienced and well-knt wu whip, took the reins ; the coach was drawn by f Jur spirited horses, and had, inside and out, the full compleme it of pas sengers. In descending the hill to New Radford it was se veral times intentionally, when running at the top of speed, suddenly swerved offthe road,the near wheeTs working upon a bank three feet high, and the off wheels in the drain. In each emergency the coach retained its vertical position like a mariner's compass, so much so that the gentlemen who composed the inside passengers were altogether insensible of their (to others) apparently perilous situation. So con • vinced were the mayor, magistrates, and aldermen of Not tingham, of its safety, and on the score of humanity, that they, together with 500 of the most respectable inhabitants of the place, signed a requisition to the coach-proprietors and contractors of that division of the county, praying that all coaches might be built on Mr. Stafford's principle. After sundry trials, all of which were successful, a meeting of the chief coach-proprietors of London and the provinces took place at Northampton, when it was unanimously re solved that another coach should be built on the same plan. The builder applied to refused, on the alleged ground that if he did so the public would insist upon all coaches being constructed on the safety prin ciple, and thereby occasion the calling in or altering of the coaches lie had out, ho himself being a contractor. The body of the new coach, instead of resting, as is usually the case, upon springs below, is poised upon two upright supporters rising from the beds and axles, and passing up between the body and the boots. The tops of theso sup porters are surmounted by elliptic springs, on which the body is so suspended that on meeting inequalities on the road the centre of gravity of the vehicle is freely adjusted, and the liability to overturn is completely conquered. A public trial of the coach now building will be given shortly before a number of scientific individuals and Members s' Parliament, who, with a laudable desire to piTycoi as far as possible the recurrence of coach as.cliLots, are interested in seeing the present yf..114 - .la start fair. Several influential Membets of the House of Commons, at the opening of the ensuing session, will direct the attention of the Government to the subject, THE WRECK OF THE APOLLO STEAM-SEIIP. The following i n f orma ti on ras p ec ti a g the mains that a rc being employed for raising the wreck of the Apollo s team' vessel and observations ma d e on b oar d t h e Water IVitch steon vessel sunk off Grays was yesterday obtained from inq uirte tug, in which is the apparatus used for the porilase. l la On the first ebb-tid e nex t a f ter th e s inking of the the top of her mast was just visible at low water, but we . then no portion of her h as b een seen , an d it was ascerta ined _ by the divers that on th e succee di ng fl oo d she fell ove r . one side, and since then h as re p ea t e dly shifted her posittoa. and now lies nearly keel uppermost, a position which M et terially increases the diffi cu lty o f we i g hi ng her.

The first wa i : a Prussian galliot, th e Bl uc h er , o f 200 tons reg i s t e r, tvh, ic , was sunk in f our f a th oms d ept h o f water off H arw i c h, being at the time deeply laden with corn.
