Pr'4l...- A trihtrieg aluorton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. The following . statement appears in the llioniteur : " It has been seen from the report of the general in-chief of the army of Paris to the Minister of War on the events of the 3d and 4th December —a report remarkable for its clearness, precision, and simplicity, that the loss of the army in these two days amounted to 1 officer and 23 men killed, and 17 officers and 167 men wounded. These results have been since changed by the death of three soldiers from the effects of their wounds, making the number of killed 27. Up to this time the number of civilians killed and wounded has not been known in an official manner, and the most exaggerated statements have been put forward. Au thentic documents have been drawn up on the subject, and we now know that M. Trebuchet, chef de bureau at the Prefecture de Police, charged with that duty, has taken an exact account of all that fell. From this examination, it appears that there were killed on the Boulevarde Monttn rtre and Poissonniere, and taken to the ambulance ia the Cite Bergere, 35 ; carried to the cemetery of Montmartre by order of the police, 3 ; carried to the Morgue from the barri cades, 43 ; died in the hospitals (most of them in surgents) or at their residences, 110; making a total of 191. The number of civilians wounded is only 87 ; but it is evident that the number would have been much greater if all the insurgents wounded had made themselves known. Those only are known who were seriously wounded and taken to the hospitals. It was the same in June, 1848, when the number of killed amounted to 1,402, whilst only about 260 wounded were found." The grand ball to be given by General de St. Arnaud will take place on Feb. 11, at the hotel of the department of War. General Prim and General Ortega have arrived in Paris from Madrid. By decree, dated the 27th, the company formed under the title of the " 'Western Railway Company, has been authorised, and its statutes approved of. A solemn religious service was performed on the 15th inst. at Stockholm for the repose of the soul of the late Marshal Soult, who was chevalier of the royal order of the Seraphim, which is the oldest order in Sweden, and only conferred on members of reigning families, and the most illustrious personages. All the members of the order who were in the capital were present at the ceremony, during the celebration of which the bells of all the churches rang a funeral peal. The experiment of cultivating rice in France ap pears to have succeeded perfectly. A piece of ground of 100 hectares in extent (250 acres) was sown with rice last year in the landes of Arcachon, near Bor deaux, and the crop proved a highly satisfactory one. The seed is sown about the middle of April, and al most immediately appears above ground. Guano is found the manure which suits it best in France. About 12,500 f. are considered the capital necessary to convert 100 hectares of landes into rice-grounds, being 125 f. the hectare. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

THE STRIKE. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,---Yeelinisnie you will have the kindness to in sert these few lines in your most valuable paper, I have availed myself of the present opportunity to express, in as few words as possible, my sentiments respecting the conduct of the two parties (the employers and the operative engineers), who have excited so much interest throughout our country, and that with good cause, for is it not much to be deplored that not only both parties must themselves be greatly injured by the present *state of affairs, but that also the interest of our country will suffer very ma•erially from the consequences? RF.spee , ing the conduct of the employ ere, my sentiments as nearly as possible are expressed in the valuable letter your paper contained this evening, signed " Daletb," with which I agree in every word. In my humble opinion the employers have shown a very bad feeling i towards the men throughout the whole affair. Was it just of the employerF, supposing that the men belonging to the society were altogether wrong in their demands, for them to close their manufactories against all, many of whom had no connexion with the society, or had even expressed a wish for a change of any sort? Surely every one who has given the matter fair consideration will, in this instance, acknowledge they have acted in a most arbitrary manner, because they are to a great extent independent of their manufactories, having amassed great wealth from the labours of the very men whom they have now thrown out upon the world to starve, for aught they care, as long as they carry out their own selfish views. It is true wealth has given them power, but let them beware how they use that power. A day of reckoning will come when they will have to give an account of their stewardship. But a few words respecting the conduct of the men under their present trying circumstances. Asa Chris tian and an Englishman, I deeply sympathise with them in their present difficulties; they have, indeed, shown a noble example to every one by the peaceable conduct they have evinced towards their oppressors. But I must apologise for having taken up so much space in your valuable paper. Trusting that the employers will yet be led to see that they, at any rate, are partly in the wrong, and firmly believing an All-wise Providence will eventually cause right to prevail over wrong, I beg to subscribe myself a well-wisher of mankiud, Knightsbridge, Jan. 27.

" No, my iriend," said the colonel to his grave companion , " no, it is entirely impossible for one nursed, as you have evidently been, in the lap of luxury—perhaps even in a coiled and framed house —to know what we suffered here in '36. I'll just tell you exactly bow it was with me, and I have seen nothing—oh nothihg at all—to what some have! You see, I was there, in Sabine county—had a little cabin in the woods away from town some dozen miles. I had 100 cows, 20 mares, 17 fillies, and a wife and three children, but not a dollar in the world. However, I was a lawyer, and had engaged to defend a man for cowstealing at court in town next day, for which I was to get two bushels of meal ! You see, my clothes had well nigh worn out, and I swapped with a Bedi Indian for a suit of deerskin. Did you ever see a real suit of deerskin, stranger?" " Well, I have—felt it too." " You see, the Indian told me to dye it in dogwood ooze. I did so, you know—left them in all night. Next morning I was up early and off for court, for I needed that meal—didn't have anything in the house at all. My deerskin suit fitted well, had tassels round the calves and skirts. Well, I rode out of the mot of timber in which my cabin was built, on to the prairie that stretched the rest of the way to town ; as the sun got hotter, the wet skin—you see, I had to put it on wet, for I must be at court—had to have that meal—the wet skin began to get tight ! Pshaw, it don't mind,' says I; but in twenty minutes, pshaw, it did mind ! Got off the mare, out there in that broad prairie, with the roasting, broiling, burning sun right over my head, and my clothes creeping up and coil ing tight around me like a nest of snakes. My arms were fastened so by the sleeves that 1 couldn't get my knife to rip anything. My hair stood on the end like the thorns of a bois d'art. 0 the misery, the suffering, the agony ! My whole body was bound up and screwed together and strangled. Blood rushed to my head—couldn't get on my horse. Well, I lay there in the blistering sun till somebody going to court happened to pass, and ripped me up. He cut me in two or three places, he was shaking so with laughter while he did it. Well, you see, I rode back home—took the last sheet in the house—cut it out—wife sowed on one leg while I sowed up the other—got to court just in time with my white suit—cleared the man, and got the meal !"—American Paper. CALIFORNIA. THE HANGING OF BILL MARSHALL AND JUAN VERDUGO. (From the San Diego Heraid, Extra, Dec. 16 ) The trial of these men was concluded on Friday evening last, and on Saturday morning it was an nounced on the Plaza that they would be executed at two o'clock the same day. The Fitzgerald Volunteers were ordered to be on duty at that time to conduct the prisoners to the scaffold, which had been erected a short distance out of town, near the Catholic burying ground. The graves were dug, and all the preparations made during the forenoon for carrying out the sentence of the court-martial. At about two o'clock the volunteers were under arms, and the people began to gather in considerable numbers about the Plaza and Court-house. A priest was with the prisoners most of the forenoon, and accompanied them to the gallows, where they received final absolution. They were then informed that a short time would be allowed them if they wished to make any remarks. Marshall was the first to speak. He said that he was prepared to die, and be hoped that his friends and the people around him would for give him, that be trusted in God's mercy, and hoped to be pardoned for his many transgressions. He still insisted that he was innocent of the crime for which he was about to die. This was about the substance of his remarks as near as we could learn from those who stood near the scaffold. Verdugo spoko in Spanish. He acknowledged his guilt and admitted the justness of the sentence passed upon him ; said he was ready and willing to yield up his life as a forfeit for his crimes and wickedness. The ropes were then adjusted--the priest approached them for the last time—said some consoling words to them—repeated a final prayer—extended the cru cifix, which each kissed several times, when he descended from the waggon, which immediately moved on, leaving the poor unfortunate wretches suspended about five feet from the ground. The fall could not have been more than a foot, at the most:, for their necks were not dislocated. Marshall struggled con siderably, but the Sonorian scarcely moved a muscle. Both of them were in their shirt sleeves, and neither of them hoodwinked. Marshall was quite a small sized mao, with regular and rather agreeable features, and a head indicating, phrenologically, when acart great d e t erm i nat i on. Th e ot h er wa s much stouter, With a fram e apparent l y o f grea t power. He was a shade d ar k er than the average o f C a lifornians, armsand had a m os t b ru ti s h countenance. Their a convulsi ve movement couldpinionedbehind.butf ro m under be seen, al though the physici an sa id that t h ey w ere not dead for some three-quarters o du There was no halting utmost or . er theart of q those whose painf u l t h e a itpi; i r o washt e o cut to r i 0 nda take a t o e kf r ea . tnthdhee i Every ivavieest t n h ae i nd n s s g was conducted w ith . or hesitation on l w p into theirowmninds of h hands, t for e h pro p e rty of the whole community. The large ttfey asaemblage, an d es p e cially of the friendly Indians, seemed to be impressed with homing awe. It was an awful and melan choly sight, to see those bodies swinging about there in the wind—now exhibiting their countenances directly fronting you, and again averting them, with the crows and buzzards hovering overhead, as if ready to pounce down upon and devour their meal of human flash—and one which, we trust in God, we may never be called upon to witness Egain. After being suspended about an hour and a half, the bodies were cut down, and interred in the Catho lic bury ing- ground. Bill Marshall, it will be borne in mind, denied on the gallows, most emphatically, that he was guilty of the crime for which he was to suffer death ; but in his confession he acknowledged that he knew the four men were to be murdered, and did not make the slightest effort to save them, which he might easily have done. His father-in-law, who was arrested with him, confessed that he knew all about the affair, but that he was too old to take a part in it. He was discharged. FASHIONS FOR FEBRUARY. (From Le Follet.) Ball dresses have made their dealt, and the variety in style and material renders it somewhat difficult to make a selection that shall not encroach upon the limits of our paper. The robes, with the beautiful ribbons floating from the waist, looping up the top skirt at intervals, so as to show the underskirt trimmed with bouillonnes of tulle; this make of dress is much admired, and likely to be much adopted. We have seen one of these robes trimmed with white satin ribbon, with narrow stripes of gold thread at the edges; each band of ribbon was terminated by a bow and ends, edged with white and gold fringe, forming a wreath of floating ends over the bouillonnes of the underskirt. The same description of bow raises the small bouillonnes sleeves. The front of the body is ornamented with an echelle of flowers, formed with diamonds and artificial fuschias. The coiffure is a wreath of fuschias, mixed with foliage of diamonds, descending slightly on the forehead, and falling on each side over the bandeaux. Another of these toilettes is of white tulle, raised by pale green ribbon worked in bunches of bright coloured flowers; the upper skirt is long enough to form a full drapery between each row of ribbon. The coiffure is a wreath of small variegated poppies and small green and white heath formed of feathers. Another toilette of white tulle had the upper skirt trimmed in festoons round the bottom with small wreaths of pinks; the sleeves are looped with a smaller wreath of the same flowers ; the bouillonnes of the under skirt is sprinkled with variegated pinks. The appeara nce o f t hi s robe was perfectly elegant and sylph-like. We have also observed a very distingulie robe, com posed of pearl white satin, trimmed with two deep flounces of English lace; over each flounce is placed a slight embroidery in gold and silver, harmonising with the front of the body, which is richly embroi dered to match, with a row of diamond buttons on each side, meeting at the waist in a point; a deep berthe of English lace, open over the chest, entirely covering the small sleeves. The coiffure is a wreath of camellias, mixed with white and ruby•coloured velvet and long green and gold foliage. The magnificent toilettes of brochees silks, in all colours, are so rich in themselves as to admit of no ornament. They are accompanied by a wreath of small marabouts and toques of ribbon. Two much admired toilettes were of white moire antique; the bodies were plain, with a berthe, which make may be fairly styled a bijou. It was a light re sille of gold, each mesh of which is fastened with a small coloured stone. The coiffure was of sequins, rolled round the hair, placed like a coronet across the head ; they then fall in long rings on each side of the neck, joining behind, under a bunch of curls. Organdi is much used for full dress for young ladies. We have seen one in pink, trimmed with a bouillonne, placed at the edge of the lower skirt. Over this bouillonne is a deep English lace, slightly gathered, with a heading of pink plaited ribbon. A second flounce, headed to match, reaches the knee. The top skirt is trimmed with pink ribbon, serpenting round the bottom, forming deep festoons. The body is trimmed with ribbons, descending en cceur from the shoulders to the waist. The small sleeves are trimmed in the same style. The coiffure is of beautiful aza lias, fixed behind the plait with a diamond comb. A white organdi dress, with five flounces, each edged with three rows of pink satin ribbon ; the middle one twice the width of the outer one. The coiffure is composed of a wreath of roses mixed with diamonds ; the bouquet on the body to match. A robe of white organdi, with five flounces, trimmed with four stripes of satin of shaded pink,:made in the material. The body a la Louis XV. was trimmed across with stripes of satin and bouillonnes. The coiffure is a wreath of variegated roses, harmonising with the trimming of the robe. A robe of pink taffetas d'ltalie, low bodied h la Louis XV., with an over skirt of Malines tulle of the same shade, upon which are placed above the hem five rows of terry velvet, repeated to within a quarter of a yard from the waist. The body of the tulle robe is high, and trimmed with narrow velvet, forming a sheaf upon the front of the body, united at the waist and spreading over the chest, reaching the ruche of tulle round the waist. The head dress was a single rose encircled with rosebuds placed rather behind on the left side. A robe of light blue taffetas d'ltalie, h la Louis XV., with an over one of blue Malines, with five rows of pinked taffetas ; high body and sleeves trimmed with narrow ruche; the coiffure and bouquet in the band of the flowers of the same shade as the dress. Bonnets for visiting are in general more trimmed than formerly, but the open edge is now disconti nued. Capotes are less worn, and it must be owned that the bonnet admits of more variety and elegance in the trimming. Among those we hive observed, we must mention one of white terry velvet lined with white satin, which turns over the front, covered with blonde from the crown. A bi as o f sat i n i s placed round the front. The crown was trimmed with bands and leaves of terry velvet, lined with satin. Two ostrich feathers are placed on the side, and run round the back over the curtain; bunches of grapes of with a very pretty blonde ; cerise coloured velvet the strings are of cerise satin ribbon, the same shade as the grapes. A black velvet bonnet lined with pink satin ; a deep black lace, embroidered with jet, falls over the small crown. A capote of pink satin, with two drawings flat at the edge, upon which two narrow blondes are ga thered, fixed with a satin ribbon ; the crown is plaited, forming a half round, to which is attached a blonde about two inches deep ; this falls over the curtain, which is edged with a narrow blonde to match ; the trimming is three roses, one white, one pink, and one yellow ; the inside is trimmed to match. A black velvet bonnet, trimmed with marabouts, and floating ends of narrow yellow terry velvet ribbon. A green velvet bonnet, with bunches of daisies, lilac, and violets outside, andin a wreath round the face. A ruby coloured velvet, trimmed with black lace, and white roses inside with ruby velvet leave!. A capote of pale blue satin, with black blonde trimming inside and out. Another of black satin, with a long feather banging over the front ; black velvet leaves and jet flowers in side. The evening coiffure is also varied. The small bord of violet, with a black bl onde crown, is much admired ; th e ornament is a feather fastened at the side, w i t h an ag rafe of brilliants. The coiffure Pompadour, composed of three barbel, which fall behind the head, with an indetscribable but charming mixture of black and pink terry velvet ribbons, guipure and bouquets of flowers thrown across the bandeaux. A pouf of green and white satin ribbons, falling from the summit of the head upon the shoulders. Toe -coiffure jeune femme of two light coloured ribbons. Th e M auresq ue cap of black lace with ruby coloured velvet, and broad strings of Turkish ribbon; the charmille of blondes and narrow ribbons. The Marie Stuart to be worn with bandeaux bouf fants, more or less ornamented with jewels. But till is not accomplished when we have provided for visit ing coiffures ; it is as necessary to appear well at home, and nothing can be found more suitable or prettier than the coin de feu, or small simple cap, tied under the chin encircling the face with narrow blonde and velvet ribbons. Manteaux are generally worn with hoods this year ; those in cloth have them made in velvet ; flat and rounded behind. The mante Castillane of black velvet, lined with black quilted satin, with two rows of lace round the bottom ; another row round the capuchon reaches the top row round the en anteau ; the capuchon is lined with rose-coloured satin, and when raised over the head the lace falls gracefully round the face, forming a mantille in the Spanish style. A more Simple style for promenade is of black velvet, trimmed with six rows of galons, in lieu of the lace, with a deep massy fringe at bottom ; the capuchen is lined with black satin, made flat, with two large tassels. Black lace embroidered with jet is much used for trimmings of manteaux mantelets, robes, and veil - .

Corsage a Basquine, open in front above and below the waist, trimmed to match the flounces : half long sleeves with mous quetriires cuffs of velvet. A velvet waistcoat of the same colour. The veste continues in vogue ; they are made more or less e l egant, and are generally worn by young ladies, or th e b ride. Black cachem i re is braided with gold, white or pale blue with silver. The black veste accords well with a yellow satin waistcoat, with enamel buttone,:or a black velvet with buttons of sequins and small c hains ; this style is suit able for theatre, or at home toilette. White or blue vestes are worn for full dress and re quire a white or reen satin waistcoast , with filigree silver butt ons; th e sleeves are nearly straight, and j are embroidered. GERMAN HOSPITAL, DALSTON. The annual general court of the governors of this charity was held at the London Tavern yesterday, Mr. Richard Twining, one of the vice-presistents in the chair ; when the committee of management sub mitted their report of the society's operations to the meeting. Owing to an alteration recently made in the rules, the annual court of governors is held in the month of January instead of June, in order to afford the latest particulars of the hospital's working previous to the anniversary festival. This being the first occasion for acting upon the new rule, the report, of course, only embraced the seven months which had elapsed since the general court in June last. During that limited period, however, the number of patients admitted into the hospital was 344, the cases of 105 out of whom had arisen from accidents. The out-patients at the hospital were 2,071 ; at the E astern Dispensary, 608 ; and at the Western Dispen sary, 298 ; meking a total within the seven months of 3,321. Since the original establishment of the haspital in Oct. 1845, no fewer than 18,463 poor p-e.sons have bee❑ relievol by it, 2,810 of whom were in-patients, the remainder being out-patients ; 8,000 of the last category were English. The claims made upon the committee, however, increase in a greater ratio than the increase in the means placed at their disposal, and as many as 247 applicants had to he refused admission from want of room during the short space of six months. The present hospital at Dalston being inconveniently situated for the re covery of the patients, owing to the noise from its prey mitt' to railway traffic, the committee contemplate the erection of a new building on a more eligible site, with the addition of the pro posed Adolphus ward, and another ward for the re ception of English patients. The annual subscriptions continue to increase ; and the sum of 2001. has been left to the charity by the late Charles Kcenig, Esq. 311. 10s. has also been collected in its behalf by the Commissioners of the Zollverein department at the Great Exhibition. The balance sheet showed the total receipts from tlie Ist of June to the 31st of December last to have been 1,4221. 155., and the expenditure 1,3781. 35., leaving a balance at the banker's of 441. 12i. The society has 2,1001. of stock invested in the Three-and a- Quarter per Cent. Consols, which sum includes 6501. specially raised for the erection of the Adolphus ward. The report and statement of accounts were received and adopted. Thanks were then voted to H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge for his services to the hospital as president, and after dispatching some other routine business the meeting separated. A NEW "DODGE."—Two tramps, named William Jarvis and John Fletcher, on Saturday last, succeeded in obtaining ss. 6d. by false pretences from Mr. Robert Anians, of Brown's Green, in the parish of Dymock, in this county. They went into Mr. Anians's shop, and pretended to be in spectors of weights and measures, and represented that he WS in their debt to the amount of ss. 6d., which was paid to them. The police were afterwards informed of the circum stance, and were soon on the track of the Bseudo•inspectors, and eventually succeeded in apprehending them at a lodging house, at Newent. Or. Monday they were taken before the magistrate, R. F. Onslow, Esq., and remanded until Wed nesday, when they were committed for trial at the next quarter sessions.— Gloucester Journal. THE CONVEYANCE OF EMICHANTS.—It appears from returns to the House of Commons, published on Wed nesday, that in five years the expense of conveyance to ports of departure was 8,63-11. 14s. 41., and the ex. pence of sending emigrants from London to Plymouth was 52/.

His accounts, prepared by Messrs. Glover and Son, shows debts, 7121.; assets, 801. Mr. LAWRENCE, for the assignees, said they had no objection to the bankrupt receiving a certificate. An offer of ss. in the pound had been refused by a portion of the creditors. The COMMISSIONER said that the bankrupt should have stopped earlier. On this ground there would be a suspension of three months; but the certificate would then be granted of the second class ; in the meantime protection would be granted. IN RE RADCLYFFE. The bankrupt was a window-glass manufacturer, of Gray's-inn-road. Ilia debts are 1,117/. ; assets, about 2401. He was awarded a certificate of the second class. There was no opposition. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3O, 1852, IN RE SIMMONDF. The bankrupt was a grocer at Brighton. His debts ere 1,0001., assets 300/. He came up for his certificate supported by Mr. Linklater ; Mr. Lowton, for the assignees, did not oppose. The Court granted a certificate of the second class, after three months' suspension, on the ground of bad bookkeeping. IN RE EDMUND CURTEIS. The bankrupt was a cheesemonger of Blackfriars road His accounts, prepared by Messrs. Glover and Son, show—debts, 1,0691. ; assets, 3601. This was the last examination meeting. Mr. Linklater supported ; Mr. Bagley opposed. His HONOUR was dissatisfied with the bankrupt's account of a payment of a sum of 2001. to a person of the name of Hall, and adjourned his examination for six weeks in order that Hall might be produced. Under the circumstances the bankrupt would not at present receive any allowance. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT,Jan. 29. IN THE MATTER OF J. R. ANDERSON. This was a meeting for the proof of debts under the estate of Mr. Anderson, the late lessee of Drury lane Theatre. The principal proof tendered was by Mr. Sulivant, the author of the comedy The Old Love and the New, for 2301., being at the rate of 101. per night for 23 performances. The claim was objected to on the part of Mr. Anderson, and the present meeting was held to hear the evidence of both parties on oath, and for the decision of the Registrar (Mr. Charles Dance) on the claim. Mr. Anderson stated that on the 15th of January, 1850, Mr. Sulivant sent his com e d y , Th e Old L ove and the New, to him, and it was approved of. On the sth of February in the same year, when he saw Mr. Sulivant, he asked 300/. for it, requiring 1001. in ready money and 101. per night. Having considered the terms, be wrote a letter t o M r. S u li vant ( w hi c h was put in evidence), to the effect that he would lay out 100/. and more in putting the comedy on the stage, and asking for a receipt for 1001., which Mr. Sulivant declined to give. The play was put in re hearsal. Oa the 27th of February, in consequence of the conduct of Mrs. Nisbett, he (Mr. Anderson) found it necessary to discharge her, and the play was taken out of the bills. It was subsequently played in the season of 1851, and ran 24 nights. He thought it was longer, and Mr. Sulivant charged for 23 nights. Had he not believed that Mr. Sulivant would have allowed him 100/, he would not have brought out the comedy. Mr. Sulivant did not in any interview state that he would not allow 1001. for putting the play on the stage. It was nearly at the end of the season that Mr. Sulivant applied for payment, he believed with great courtesy. Mr. Anderson distinctly stated that the agreement with Mr. Sulivant—and he regretted that it had not been put in white and black—was that he was to be allowed 100/. out of 3001, the price of the comedy, towards the expense of putting it on the stage. Mr. Sulivant, on oath, said he read the comedy, and Mr. Anderson approved of it. He told him the price was 3001, to be paid on the receipt of the co medy. On the receipt of the letter asking for a re ceipt for 1001., which statement puzzled him, he called on Mr. Anderson, and told him he could not give a receipt for money which he had not received. Mr. Anderson said it Wh3 of no importance whatever, his only object, he said, in asking fur the receipt was that he might show it to any one who might assert that he had got it for nothing. He then agreed to take 10/. per night till the sum amounted to 3001. On which Mr. Anderson told him that he was quite in error supposing that he wanted it to stop at 3001., for he meant the 101. per night to remain as long as the play ran, and he hoped that he might have to pay 500/. The play was acted, and he did not ask for payment, as the theatre was in distressed circum stances, and be did not want the money. At n early ..m the close of the season, Mr. Anderson asked ni 101. what he was indebted to him ? And be told h 2 per night surprise? a for twenty-three nights, being . which Mr. Anderson expressed some at 1501. said, he understood the play was stopM3r.Aderson he Being equally surprised, he told l positively could show the justice of his claim by p H la e ce between the parting, however, Mr. d b s e y e me d writing.tol3consi der el t a h r a ed t he he was to allow 1001. for him and Mr. Anderson that .. on the .ln stage, uo edeither in writing or h a ( t M n r o . S. conversation A o ia e s v right. er too k (Lewis and Lewis), on the part of Mr. Mr. LEWIS in the amount of ia putting w ord . the comedy cross-examined Mr. Sullivant, and he ' , said had arrested Mr. Anderson, as be felt his con duct as a gentleman was i p g the debt. Mr. LEWIS said a very different reason was given ehr he o n, in the affidavit to Anderson , hold to hail—that he was about to ' go to America. Mr. Sulivant said he had told him he • was going to America. ➢Zr. LEWIS remarked that he was to have had the theatre for another year. Mr. Anderson further stated that had Mr. Sulivant applied for payment as the comedy was performed, he should have considered that he might have deducted the 1001. to be allowed hina for the first ten nights' performances. . _ - Mr. LEWIS submitted that both parties were cor rect in their statements, he was sure each meant to tell the truth. lie would as k th e C our t whether it was not reasonable between an author and a man ager that there should be An equa l r i s k— w hat was more reasonable than that an author should pay 1001, to wards putting an expensive comedy on the stage ? The Registrar was sure that both gentlemen meant to speak the truth. It was certainly to be re gretted that the agreement had not been reduced to writing. The words of the letter were very loose, and in putting his construction upon it be was of opinion that Mr. Sulivant was to be paid 3001. for the comedy. That gentleman had sworn that no such allowance was to be made as 1001, and Mr. Ander son had also sworn that there was such an agreement. It did seem to him somewhat unreasonable to sup pose that an author would put himself into a position after producing a work of study as the comedy .was, to have the "bloom" as it were taken off by the first ten nights' performances, and then to be told that he was to allow 1001. for putting the comedy on the stage. He wished it to be observed, that he imputed nothing to either party—both, he was confident, had spoken the truth according to their belief; but under all the circumstances, he way of opinion th a t M r . Sulivant was entitled to prove for 230/, the amount claimed.—The claim was accordingly admitted. (Before Mr. CommissionerPumurs.) IN THE MATTER OF HENRY COVEN. _ This insolvent, an iron merchant o❑ Saffron-hill, appeared for judgment. His case was before reported. Mr. CooKE, for the insolvent, mentioned that the insolvt , nt's friends were willing to pay 2001. into court to satisfy the opposition. Mr. DOWSE, for the creditors, refused the offer. A very large quantity of goods had been obtained from creditors. Mr. CooKE stated some circumstances respecting the insolvent's family. Mr. Commissioner .PHILLIrs felt for other persons, but he had a public duty to perform. Persons should consider their own families before they acted in the manner this insolvent had done. The case stood over, and no further offer was made. Mr. Commissioner PHILLirs pronounced a judg ment of 16 calendar month?, from the vesting order in November, for a fraudulent making away with property. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, BO W-STREET. Thomas Connor and William Watts , two young men well known to the police, were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing a pocket-book con taining a 101. note, 18 sovereigns, and an 1 0 U for 38/., belonging to Mr. James Ritchie, of Craven Cottage, Kew-foot-lane, Richmond, from his person. It appeared that on Tuesday morning, at three o'clock, the prosecutor and a friend named Jones entered the White Hart public-house in the Strand, where they remained enjoying themselves in front of the bar for several houre, and having frequently had occasion to pay for refreshment, he had re course to a large pocket-book, in which he kept his money, to pay the reckoning, in the presence of the prisoners. After this he went to a coffee shop, where he and the prisoners partook of eggs and ham. A cab being called, the prisoner Connor pushed him in, and the other having got on the box, the driver was directed to take him to St. Paul's churchyard, where his companion got out, and went away, followed by the other prisoner, and having felt for his pocket-book he had not sufficient to pay the fare, his pocket-book with the contents being stolen; in consequence of which the driver drove him to the next police station and gave information. Mr. HALL said many cases of robbery committed under such circumstances were brought before him to adjudicate upon, owing principally to the misconduct of persons in possession of money who indulged in the use of intoxicating liquors and mixed with low characters at unreasonable hours, expecting, when they came to their sense', that the law would afford them every assistance in the recovery of their pro perty, which they lost through their own impropriety of conduct. _ _ _ The constable said he could show at a future day that the prisoners had been making purchases since the robbery was committed, and they were ordered to be committed. MARYLEBONE. Mr. Edward Baker, described as a surgeon, re siding in Richmond-road, Bayswater, was charged before Mr. Long with having committed a v i o l ent assault upon Mr. Samuel Bickel), a solicitor, living in Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road. Mr. Vaughan, solicitor, Paddington-green, attended for the complainant. The complainant's evidence was to the effect that on the 24th inst. he, accompanied by his clerk, went to No. 4, Union-place, New-road, to serve a writ upon a Mrs. Terry, at the suit o f a c l ergyman . He knocked at the door twice, and at last it was opened. Mr. LONG-By whom ? Complainant —By a young man, and my clerk said to me, " That is the person who assaulted me once before when I called." I asked him his name, when defendant, who exclaimed, " Don't tell him, Edwin," rushed at me and told me I had no business there. I gave him to understand that I had a writ against Mrs. Terry, and that if he either allowed me to go up to her, or gave me the name of her professional adviser, 1 should require no more ; but I had no sooner uttered the words than he knocked off my hat, and while I was stooping to pick it up he hit me a tremendous blow over the eye. [Complainant's eye was still discoloured and swollen.] 1 and my clerk then quitted the premises. The witnesses were cross-examined by a solicitor at sotno length, with the view of showing that the lady against whom procesi was about to be served was very ill, and that complainant and his clerk had exceeded their authority. Evidence was brought forward for the defence, and Margaret Callaghan, the servant, swore that no blow was given. Mr. LONG, considering it was quite clear that com plainant had been assaulted, and severely, while en gaged in the issuing of a legal process for debt, fined defendant 3/. and costs. The penalty was paid. SOUTHWARK. Daniel Haydon, a well-dressed man, was charged, with another man not in custody, with a very daring robbery, attended with violence. William Hurling stated that he is a seaman, and that on the previous night he went, accompanied by a shipmate, to the Royal Oak public-house, Kent street, and while standing in front of the bar, taking some refreshment, the prisoner and another man entered together. Complainant was in the act of quitting the house, when the prisoner rushed at him, made a snatch at his watch, which was in his waist coat-pocket, awl by the force of the pull separated it from the guard, and got possession of it. The priso ner then passed the watch to his companion, when the complainant pointed out the latter to his shipmate, at the same time exclaiming, "That is the fellow who has got my watch." Complainant's shipmate imme diately collared the man, but had no sooner done so than the fellow turned upon him, gave him a violent blow on the mouth, that knocked him down, and then rushed out of the house, having dropped the watch on the floor in his eagerness to escape. During the con fusion that prevailed, owing to the suddenness of the attack, the prisoner attempted to get away, but was prevented by Mr. Knight, the landlord of the house, who detained him until a constable arrived, into whose custody he was given. The complainant's watch was produced, with the swivel completely torn off, owing to the violence with which it was dragged from his pocket. The prisoner asserted that he had no acquaintance with the man from whose hand the watch was seen to drop on the floor, and he added that he had friends who could speak as to his good character, he if he not ashamed of letting them kno w that was mixed up in such a transaction. Mr. A.TECKETT said that it bad been proved to his satisfaction that the prisoner was the man who robbed the complainant of his w atch, and then passed it to the other person, who escaped. He should, therefore, commit him for trial. In reply to the Magistrate, it was stated that tha other offender was known. STMINSTER. A cabman applied at this court fora summons against Lord Monteagle.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.--A 8 some workmen were felling timber near Herne-bay, they discovered in the centre of one of the trees a cavity, in which were the remains of a cat. The skeleton was entire, and ROM hair, of a sandy colour, yet remained o n t h e s ki n.
