• TRIAL of the FiraeCH REGICIDE. COURT OF PEERS, PARIS, TUESDAY. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Francois Fontain, aged 43, manufacturer of at ticles of polished steel, deposed that he had known the prisoner for many years ; he always was speaking of his misfor tunes. Witness lent him 1,100 f., which were to be re turned on August 15. Jacques Cercleron, aged 46, schoolmaster, residing at Paris in the same house as the prisoner, deposed that he for some time was upon good terms with Henri; but afterwards quarrelled with him because he behaved ill. Henri had an incredible degree of presumption, be lieved himself to be a genius, and frequently maintained outrageous theories about religion and universal peace. J. Guerin, aged 56, a man of property, knew Henri for 25 or 26 years, but was often a long time without seeing him. During the last twelve months he had seen him frequently, and particularly since January 1 ; he was incessantly talking of his misfortunes and the embarrassment of his affairs, asking witness to accommodate him with his signature to bills, which witness declined. He frequently declared that he should be driven to blow out his brains. Wit ness deposed to Henri's seeking a wife, whether de formed or otherwise, who could bring him a fertune of 25,000 f., and requested to refer to him (the witness) for his character, in order to conceal his design from his family. Henri never mentioned any other conception than that of suicide, and never talked upon politics, but appeared to entertain the best feeling towards the person of the King. Caroline Bacquet, aged 33, a woman of some means, deposed to living in the same house with Henri, and had known him six or seven years. She said that he was a weak and gloomy man, frequently subject to headaches, which prevented him for the time from following his business. She never heard him talk of suicide or politics. Widow Lefranc, ag, d 28, who had been Henri's house keeper for eight years, deposed that he had great confi dence in her, but he did not talk to her about his busi ness. Ho latterly appeared to be greatly depressed, and expressed a wish to die, but never mentioned suicide or any other means of getting rid of lite. Aime Fonsard, aged 58, a journeyman employed by Henri for the last three years, stated that bis master always behaved kindly to him, and conversed freely with him about his domestic misfortunes and the embarrass ment of his affairs. Since the beginning of the present year witness perceived that Henri was losing his mind, and it pained witness to see him. For several months he repeatedly said that he could not bear his miseries any longer, so that witness imagined that he contem plated suicide, but at the same time believed that Henri had not resolution to carry the idea into execution ; the prisoner never read the journals. On the 16th of April last Henri, in conversation, said that he could not con ceive how any man could fire at the King. He was full of self-conceit, and at times, striking his forehead, would exclaim," Ah ! there are three fortunes in this head !" He was gloomy and reserved towards his family ; but, so far as witness knew, without cause. Louie Mercier, aged 32, another man in the employ of Henri, gave evidence to the same effect as the above. The case for the prosecution hero closed, and the ex amination of witnesses for the defence began. J. Chartron, aged 45, an ironmonger, had been on terms of intimacy with the prisoner; considered him as a person of a must mild and inoffensive character. L. Sanguinade, aged 52, a merchant, had become ac quainted with Henri from his being in the Niftional Guard. Considered him a man of probity, but with rather a weak head. F. Destibaux. aged 47, a banker, had seen the pri soner several times. Two mouths since he had come to him to ask for money, and as witness could not acqui esce in his demand, the prisoner complained bitterly. ° His words and ideas appeared to be somewhat incohe rent, and had given witness reason to suppose that his reason was a little distutbed. S. Fontaine, aged 62, formerly engaged in the steel trade, said that the prisoner had once worked with him in his business. He was then a very industrious man, attended to nothing but his work, and conducted him self well. F. Legrand, aged 38, a vinegar merchant, also deposed to the morality of the prisoner, but knew nothing of his private habits. L. Dediot, aged 37, bad been on terms of intimacy with Henri ; considered him a man of great suscepti bility of feelings, and having a great deal of originality In his character. He thought or said nothing from the influence of any other person. His theories were perfectly his own. Setting aside this peculiarity he thought be possessed every quality in which honour and confidence might support themselves. He thought that all his mis fortunes had been caused by dreadful machinations against him. He considered the prisoner would rather commit suicide than become a bankrupt, but he at the same time knew that he never would have the courage to do so, for he was in fact a pusillanimous being, Witness thought that he never had any serious idea of killing the King, and if he might be permitted to express his opinion, he would add that he did not believe that the pistols were loaded. According to the prisoner's known character, and to use an expression which lie was fond of,he would have said to himself, "Lying alone triumphs on the earth, let us then lie in order to die." His act could not be understood in any other light by any one who knew the prisoner as well as he (witness) did. The prisoner—l summoned witnesses in order that they might point out the person who has caused all my misfortunes, but those witnesses have said nothing. I must therefore do it myself. The person I allude to is Caroline Bacquet. She promised to lend me 25,0001., but she did not give them to me. I signed a bill fbr a smaller sum, and payment of it was demanded at a time when I could nut pay it without compromising my credit. When I wanted 6,000 f. only 3,0001. were given me; and the calculation of that woman was, " When be can no longer hold out, his house will be sold, and cis protector, who gave him funds, will pass it to me." You ask me if I had any accomplices? I had no other be sides that woman. It was she who drove me to despair, and despair has led to what you are aware of. S. James, aged 28, hairdresser, knew the prisoner. Had never remarked anything extraordinary in him. Was not aware that he ever meddled with politics. E. Perigaux, aged 28, steelworker, had worked for four years for the prisoner. He was constantly employed in devising means for improving the condition of work men. Had heard him sometimes complain of the conduct of Caroline Bacquet. A. Chatemond, aged 33, clerk, had know the prisoner; he was a weak man, and incapable of managing his house. Witness expressed his conviction that the pistols were not loaded. The prisoner here observed that some of the witnesses had said that both pistols went off at the same time, and others that there were successive reports. His own con viction was that there was but one report. The examination of witnesses being concluded, the Procureur-General was called on for his requisitory, hut, as it was then six o'clock, the Learned Gentleman proposed to . defer it till the next day, and the Court broke Lp. WEDNESDAY, Auo. 26.—The President opened the Court at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. . The prisoner, brought in between two gendarmes, looked much paler than during the preceding day. Be fore taking his seat he bowed respectfully to the Court, and was observed to take several pinches of snuff before the Procurer du R. ti began his speech. In comparison with the former trials the case of Joseph Henri seemed to excite but little interest among the public, and the Chamber of Peers was by no means crowded. The Pro cureur du Roi, upon the invitation of the President, then opened his requisitory, and said— Ile did not think it now necessary for the Court to seek the causes of the crime in cynicism and perversion of political passions, nor did it appear either that the crime ensued from any personal revenge. The prisoner had dec'ared that he respected the person of the King, and this certainly seemed true as regarded the previous life and opinions of the accused. Ile had been then in spired by other motives. What had induced him, he said, to commit the crime was the despair he felt at the bad state of his affairs and his domestic unhappiness. If that was true, another source of crimes must be found out, and it would be necessary, for the sake of society, at once to discover it. But, admitting this to be true, it was also necessary to lay before the Court the irregular conduct and the unbounded pride which characterised the prisoner before them. No, the ac cused had adopted a line of defence, which was not an unskilful one—viz., wishing to represent his crime as a simple and harmless demonstration to attract attention. The Procureur du Itoi afterwards dwelt on the fact that had been urged in favour of the prisoner, which was, that the balls had not been found, and there existed no proofs that even the pistols were loaded. He contested the value of this argument, and cited several cases, and in particular the attempt of Quenisset, where the balls had never been dis covered, and )et no one ever doubted the guilt of that wretched man. What had been the private life of the accused? He had exhibited the most un governable passions. His affairs, in censequence of his extravagartee, became disordered. His great horror was to become again a workman, although by his skill the accused was capable of earning 10f. a day. No, his pride was in question, and Joseph Henri endeavoured by a second marriage to retrieve his affairs; and not being able to succeed, the wr e t c h e d man s l an d ered the woman who fortunately refused to marry him. He rep ea te d there was nothing in the p r i vate lif e of the pris on erthat could excuse him. Had not the accuse d even threatened m su of to kill a person who had refused t o l en d hi m a money he was in want of, to restore his aff a i rs to their former prosperity? The Procureur du Roi afterwards examined'the plea of insanity, by which the prisoner's crime was endeavoured to be accounted fur, and spoke of the danger which would result to society if such a pre text was put forward whenever a murder, or attempt at assassination, was perpetrated. No, it was impossible to excuse crime in this manner. M. Hebert then cited the English jurisprudence in cases of high treason. He denied that the same decisions could be taken in France, w h ere the laws on this crime entirely disagreed. He denied also that every attempt on the Queen's life had been treated as an act of insanity. Oxford, indeed, had been declared a lunatic, but Francis had not. The English laws, therefore, could not guide nor determine the de cision of the Court. The Procureur du Itoi then con cluded by repeating his former arguments that the Court should declare the prisoner guilty of the crime of high treason; and said that the country awaited with anxiety the decision of the Court, which he (the Procureur du Roi) was sure would be in unisoa with all the acts of a Chamber that had ever shown so great a devotion to the great interests of the country. Baroch, charged with Henri's defence, afterwards replied to the Procureur du Roi, and contended that the attempt of Henri could not be considered as a serious - one. The whole life of the prisoner was against the supposition of his being actuated with a desire to attempt the King's life. It w san act of folly, which he had committed under the influence of despair at the wretched state of his affairs, the desire of being talked of iu the world, and of getting rid of an exigenco Which was a THE SUN, LONDON, _FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST SB, 1846. burden to him. The Court of Peers would not, he was assured, sanction such a suicide. M. Baroch afterwards ' related at length the attempt in the Tuileries, and endea voured to prove that the life of the King could not have been endangered by Henri's attempt. He insisted that the pistols were not even loaded, notwithstanding Henri might have asserted the contrary. He maintained that the bullets must have been found if such had been the case. M. Baroch then replied to the charges of immorality which had been reproached to the pri soner, and insisted that they had been exaggerated, or caused by the bad conduct of his former wife. A great number of letters were then read by AL Baroch, written by persons who had known Henri. They all spoke of his morose disposition and the extravagant nature of his opinions, which were treated by his friends as absurd, and betraying a very weak intellect. Some of Henri's extravagant lucubrations were also read by his counsel, as confirming the fact that a man with such an intellect, and who had evinced such imbecility of conduct, could not be considered as a very dangerous person. He im plored the Court, in conclusion, not to condemn the wretched man before them. The crime of regicide had of late descended very low, and would descend still lower after the senseless attempt of the miserable man they were called upon to judge. No, Gentlemen, said M. Baroch, the attempt of such a man cannot be considered as serious. The President then ordered the audience to be sus pended, which was not resumed at the time Lhe dispatch was closed. _ _ The prisoner listened very attentively to the speech of tho Procureur du Roi and defence of hi 3 counsel, ex pressing by shakes of the head his approbation or dis approval of what was said of him.

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON AND HASTINGS RAILWAY. INQUIRY BY THE INSFECTOR-GENERAL. HASTINGS, WEIVESDAY AFTERNOON.—This forenoon Major General Pasley arrived at Pevensey station, ac companied by Mr. Clarke, the managing director from Brighton, to inquire into the circumstances of the recent collision on the Hastings or South-coast line, on Monday last, for the information of the Board of Trade. The gallant General's first proceeding was to inspect the spot where the collision happened. The railway in this part seems far from being complete, only one line is laid down for the transit of trains, and hundreds of excava tors are working day and night constructing the ballast ing for the second line of rails. From the evidence collected it appeared the company's contractors had several locomotives employed on the line to assist in carrying ballast trains to various parts of the works, and to prevent delay occurring to the passenger trains, sidings had been made by the contractors at various parts in order that the ballast trains might, as it is termed, " shunt" off; to allow the ordinary trains to pass, and it was in one of these sidings at Pevensey where the col lision took place. A few minutes before the Brighton train, which leaves Pevensey station at two o'clock, was due, one of these ballast engines, which was coming up in the opposite direction, stopped at the siding in question, and backed into it for the purpose explained. Shortly afterwards the train came up at a speed of about twenty-eight miles an hour, when on its arrival within six or seven yards of the points of the siding, the engine• driver, Stephen Clarke, discovered that the " switches" were not properly adjusted, and a violent collision with the ballast trains was inevitable. He instantly shut off his steam and reversed the engine, and jumped off, leaving his stoker at the tender break. Scarcely a moment elapsed before the engines met. As regards the switches, which are on the self-acting principle, it is difficult to say whether any party is to blame. A youth, it seems, had been appointed by the contractors to attend to them, and he has since ab sconded ; but, according to the statements of the differ ent parties examined to-day, there does not appear to be any fault attributable to him. The ,witches are worked by leverage, and thc? duty of the party under whose charge they were placed was, when a ballast train required to pass out of the sliding, to connect the points with the rails of the permanent line. This is etl cted by pulling forward an iron handle, to which the leverage is attached, and the moment it is let off the points fly back to their original position, and disunite themselves from the permanent rails. They were found in good working order alter the accident, in consequence of which it is presumed that some shingle, of which the line of Pevensey is made, or some other hard substance, must have got between the points and prevented them acting, unknown to the party employed. Considering the serious character of the collsion, it was astounding how all parties, particularly the stoker and guard of the pas senger train, escaped with their lives. Both engines were much damaged. The tender of the ballast engine was thrown on the top.of the earth waggons, and pre sented a dilapidated appearance. The engine-driver and stoker of this train were, a moment before the collision, standing on the tender; both escaped by throwing them selves off. At the conclusion of the inquiry at Pevensey, General Pasky, with Mr. Clarke, left for Brighton, to examine the carriages that composed the train, which had been taken to the Company's depot adjacent to the terminus in that town. The following are the names, as far as Mr. Clarke, the manager, has been able to learn, of the sufferers, with their injuries and actual state up to eight o'clock this morning:— The Rev. Mr. Brown, of Tonbridge, Kent, severe frac ture of the leg below the knee, face cut, and other external injuries ; progressing favourably at Hastings. Captain Nightingale, his lady, and his two daughters, much cut about the face and head, besides bruises about the body. No serious injury. Mr. Dyke, of Brighton, injury to the head. He was a passenger in a first-class carriage, and was looking out of the window at the moment of the collision, and was thrown completely out by the concussion. Three ladies (names unknown) belonging to Hastings, much cut about the face; also a gentleman (name un known), one of the fore-fingers taken off. George Ragg, the stoker of the passenger engine, lying at the sluice-house, Pevensey, scalded and burnt. When discovered he was found insensible alongside of the furnace of the engine, with the boiling water pour ing on him from the broken guage-pipe, and his clothes on fire in various parts; recovering. Stephen Clarke, the engine -driver—internal injury, but expected to resume his work in a few days. Several others are reported to be hurt, but their names cannot be ascertained; the injuries, however, are be lieved to be confined to bruises. It is stated there were about forty passengers in the train. It will be observed that most of the persons injured were first-class passengers. This arose by the first class carriage being placed next to the tender, and no luggage van intervening. The medical gentlemen who were in the train, and relieved the suffering of many of the suff,rers, were Dr. Hamilton and Mr. H. IL Wbon, of Fitzr , y-square. They were, we understand, sitting in the same carriage with the Rev. Mr. Brown, but fortunate], escaped injury. Mr. George Robins sold a r t d L Me in e co n l s n, e a , f w ew hi years realisedearssine since, the d not sell, the valuable ln estates of L g I.r l y y onevat l u ahbat l e he ol good i prices ; he has now a j o e n b n y ou l t v ic e e o d d, th a e 0: e p o r l o e p . er o It nly es from seven as iles see t i h iy e t fa h m e e a d city ene of Lin- aneeineat ,a b c i s " ! e a s n a d large what sixty- w quaL i fi ty v e e a f c e r a e k s poofles s p e e f n v e e n o t ayk years than tim b e g r ; easy shipment of the timber, the estate materially adds to its value and its importance is, the being a mile from the navigable river Foss, which connects the Trent and With am s t reams , an d opens a mar k e t for the timber in the dockyards of the Humber and the Thames. It is exnected at Lincoln that this sale will cause a lively compAition. About the period of Lord Monson's sales Mr. Robins sold the famed Riseholme estate, within a mile of the ancient city of Lincoln, for sixty thousand guineas, to the late Lord Bishop of the diocese. The neighbourhood is accounted a favourable situation for investing secuuly. REASONS FOR PULLING DOWN WESTMINSTER• BRIDGE.—The following is the report which has been lately published by the committee appointed to inquire into the state of Westminster-bridge: —The foundation is giving way, and the bridge sinks every year—there is never more than one arch passable at a time—it is blocked up every other month —it is decidedly dangerous—it is anything but ornamental —it is no longer useful—if it is not pulled down, it will either fall in, or else be carried away—it will cost a less sum to build a new bridge than to keep the present one in repair. We must say we never recollect reading a report more con vincing than the above. —Punch. The environs of Gironville, in the Meuse, have been lately greatly infested with wolves, which have frequently made their appearance in the streets of the village. A short time ago, a person going from Fremer6ville to Saint Martin, was attacked on the road by one of these animals, but having a stout stink in his hand, he attempted to beat it off. The combat lasted several minutes, when at last th e man struck the beast so severe a blow on the head, that the latter turned tail and wont ell, howling with pain. Fortunate it was that it dil so, for the man was nearly exhausted by his exertions, and his otaft Tas broken by the force of the lag blow. LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, August 27. IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM CROWTHER, A PRISONER IN YORK CASTLE.-IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO POWER OF COMMISSIONER OF BANKRUPTS TO COMMIT FOR NON PAYMENT OF COSTS. This was an application to discharge the above-named' prisoner, who was the baliff of the Honour of Pontefract, in the West Riding of the county of York, out of the custody of the gaoler of York Castle, he having been committed to that prison upon a warrant issued by Mr. Commissioner Burge, the commissioner of the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, for contempt of Court, in not obeying and observing the order of that Court. The circumstances are, as shown by the affidavits used on both sides, as follow : " That Mr. Crowther was the baliff of the Court of the Honour of Pontefract, in the West Riding of the county of York, and in that capacity he, in pursuance of a warrant of execution duly issued out of that Court on a certain judgment recovered therein by one William Cole against John Pickles, a hairdresser, residing at Bradford, proceeded to levy 121. 18s. 3d. and costs. Upon the levy being made, Pickles stated that he had obtained an order of protection from the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, whereby all his goods and chattels were protected from all process, upon which Crowther (the prisoner) demanded to see the order, which was re fused by Pickles, and as no messenger was in possession under the insolvency, he (Crowther) proceeded to exe cute his warrant, and ultimately removed the goods immediately after which a complaint was made by Mr. Harle, of Leeds, the solicitor to the insolvent Pickles, to Mr. Commissioner Burge, who issued a summons on 13th of August, directed to the prisoner, to show cause why he so seized and carried away the goods and chat tels of Pickles, he being protected from process by the order of the - Court. This summons not being obeyed, a warrant was issued by the Commissioner to apprehend aner i bring.him before the Court to'answer.to the complaint, and on the 15th of August: he having been taken in custody, was taken before the Commissioner, who, after hearing all parties on the subject of the complaint, or dered and adjudged the prisoner to have been guilty of a gross contempt of his Court, by seizing and taking away the goods of John Pickles, and also ordered the prisoner to nay the costs occasioned by the application (amounting to nearly 201.) or, in default, to stand com mitted to York Castle. Mr. Crowther protested against the authority of the Commissioner to make such an order, and refused to comply therewith, upon which he was taken into custody and to York Castle, there to retnain until he had paid the costs and purged the con tempt. Under these circumstances, an application was made to the Lord Chief Baron, on Saturday last, for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the pri soner in order to his discharge:out of custody as to such commitment, when, atter perusing the affidavit in sup port of the application, the Learned Judge granted his fiat for the issuing of the writ. In pursuance of this writ Mr. Crowther was brought up in custody of Mr. John Noble, the keeper of York Castle, yesterday, before Mr. Justice Erle, when that Learned Judge, after hearing Mr. Serjeant Chadwick Jones, who appeared in support of' the commitment, and the solicitor for Mr. Crowther, made an order directing Mr. Crowther (the bailiff) to be discharged out of cus• tody, on the ground that the warrant and commitment were bad on the face of them, the Learned Commis sioner, Mr. Burge, having assumed a power wish which he had not been invested by the Bankrupt or Insolvent .Acts,—i e., of awarding costs in the shape of damages for the improper, or, as it might be contended, illegal seizure, and in issuing his warrant of committal for the non-payment of such costs. The Learned JUDGE said he should give no opinion whether the seizure under the circumstances was a con tempt or not, or whether the Commissioner had the power of committal which he bad exercised ; it was clear, however, he had no power to commit for non payment of costs upon the authority of all the cases that had been brought before the courts of law. Mr. Crowther, who, of course, was in custody of the keeper of York Castle, was at once discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTH ERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 26. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) Cornelius Cane was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Patrick Branan, at Manchester. Mr. Cross was fur the prosecution ; Mr. Pollock for the defence. It appeared that the prisoner and Branan lodged at the house of a Mrs. Kirk, and, on the night in question, they both came home at a pretty late hour. The pri soner's brother was with them. The parties had some ale, and while they were discussing it, a person of the name of Kelly, who was upstairs, came down and sat with them. The prisoner then began to sing a flash song, of which Branan disapproved, and told the pri soner he was not fit company for an) body. This, it would appear, had irritated the prisoner, and he retorted that he was better reared thaa Branan, that he had more money, and that he was better company into the bargain. Kelly recommended them to drop the subject, en which, turning on Kelly, he said—" I have had it in for you for seven years, and I will stick you before I leave the house." He some time after said, " Martin, you are a pig -butcher, and I'm one too, and I'll open you and Pat Branan before you leave the house." Branan was then putting on his shoes to go away,expressing his dislike to this disturban_e, when Mrs. Kirk inter fered; and after a sort of scuffle, all parties got to the door. The policeman came up and advised them to be quiet. They all then went back into the house, on which the prisoner ran up the stairs, and said he would cleave any one who followed him. Mrs. Kirk was at this time insisting on his leaving the house, and called to Branan to assist her in putting him out. Branan took hold of him by one arm and Mrs. Kirk by the other, and all the parties got together in a kind of mere in the hall, in the course of which the prisoner struck Branan with a knife on the left side of the neck. The knife proved to be a case knife, which a short time before had been in the kitchen. The wound inflicted was a very serious one, being three inches long and two deep, wounding the windpipe. He was for some time in danger. Verdict—Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that he per ceived with disgust and horror that the practice of using the knife in quarrels was increasing, and so far as lay in his power he would endeavour to put it down.—To be transported for 14 years. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) BELL V. HARRISON. This was one of several actions in the cause list by the public officer of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Joint- Stock Bank, against the customers of that concern, the affairs of which are now in course of being wound up. The present action was to recover a balance on a banking account. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Unthank were for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. Warren for the defendant. It appeared, that in August, 1845, the defendant entered into an agreement for a partnership with a per son of the name of Kirk, in the Farnacre colliery. For this he was to pay 7,000/. Kirk had had previously an aecount Kith the bank, under the name of Kirk and Co., which, after the partnership, was altered into Harrison, Kirk and Co. It appeared that the bank, at the time of the partnership, had a mot - gage on the colliery for 20,0001., and on the 10th of October the defendant sent notice to the bank and to Mr. Kit k, that he would not carry out the agreement, as he had been led into it by misrepresentation and fraud. The question in dispute was simply whether the payments made during the part nership by the firm were made to the general account, or were applied, as the bank alleged, to particular items. In the form‘r case they would be applied to the first debits in the account?, and would therefore reduce the gross amount of the credits previous to the 10th of October, when the notice waa given. The defendant had paid 2021. into Court ; the balance claimed beyond that sum was 7341. The jury found that the payments were made on the general account. There was, however, still a balance of upwards of 2001. due by the defendant. Ver dict accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. MRS. BLEWITT AGAlN.—Yesterday morning Mary Ann &mitt, whose husband was shot by John Graham, in Drury-lane, on Saturday, April 25, was brought be fore Mr. Jardine charged with being drunk and disor derly, and also with committing two assaults under the following circumstances : A young female, named Ellen Kilday, stated that about eight o'clock on the previous evening she was standing at her door with her mother, in White Hart yard, Drury-lane, when the prisoner came up, and, without the slightest provocation on their part, com menced abusing them. The landlord happened to pass at the moment, and the prisoner, addressing him, used a gross expression with regard to witness. Find ing that no notice was taken of her observation, she went away, but, returning in a short time, she renewed the abuse, making use of the foulest language, upon which witness desired her to go about her business, as she did not wish to hold any conversa tion with a blackguard, when she flew at her mother, accusing her of having sent in papers to the magistrates of this court to induce them not to allow a public sub scription to be raised for her, and assault e d h er , b ut there being no policeman in the way, she left, and in a few minutes came back and committed an assault upon witness. Her disorderly conduct created the greatest confusion, and the house was obliged to be closed. Constable 52 F division said, that on one occasion he found the prisoner drunk, and on trying to get her away she abused him very much. He then went his rounds, and in ten minutes, having found her again creating a disturbance at the door of her lodgings, he took her into custody. On the way to the station she threw her self (14,wn, and caused a mob to assemble. She had been twice previously at the station, but was discharged on promising not to return to the same place, or cause any further disturbance. _ Inspector Logan said, that when the prisoner was brought to the station she was not only drunk but very violent. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said, that the witness's mother threatened to give her a " leg up" with the maglstrate; and whenever she passed she called her foul names, although she never offered her the sligh:est offence. She was mere'y taking a bottle of ginger beer in a shop, when Mrs. Kilday assaulted her, and tore the bunch of hair produced from her head. She admitted having been convicted and fined at this court about seven months back for an assault, but that had nothing to do with the present charge. Mr. JARDINE asked the complainant If she was appre hensive th at the prisoner was iligelv to repeat the offence? The complainant replied-tha: she had no doubt of it, as she was constantly keeping the : tire neighbourhood in an uproar.

SOUTH WARK. Yesterday James Smithson, a tradesman in Kent street, was charged, before Mr. Cottingham, with com mitting a violent assault on Eleanor Brag, under curious circumstances. Miss Brag, a lady to whom the words " fair, fat, and forty," might be justly applied, stated that sho was in troduced to the defendant by friends, who assured her that be would make a very comfortable husband for a woman possessed of a mild and amiable temper. Know ing that she possessed those qualifications in an eminent degree, they carried en a courtship for some time, and she had no reason to repent of her choice until vi ithin the last few days, when the banns for the celebration of their marriage were put up at St. George's Church, and they were to have been united on Sunday next. On Thursday last she was visited by her lover, who for some unaccountable cause began to abuse her, and ulti mately struck and k'cked her, and she could assure the magistrate that she was still suffering from the effects of his violence, as she could prove by the marks on her person. The defendant, who seemed to be suffering a . good deal of mental anguish during his sweetheart's statement, at its conclusion declared that he was ready and willing to marry her that day, if she only promiSed to curb her temper. He then stated that a few evenings since he called upon Miss Brag rather later than usual, having been detained taking a parting glass with a friend. The moment, however, he entered her apartment she began to abuse him, and, in fact, took more airs upon herself than a wife would presume to do ; and, not contentA with that, she flung some crockery articles at his head, from which he had a narrow escape of sustaining serious injury. He did seiza her arms to prevent further mis chief, and there might be marks of his grasp in securing her, but he could decline he did not do it in anger ; and as a proof that he still retained a strong affection for Miss Brag, he only anticipat e d the happy d a y w h e n she changed it to Mrs. Smithson. He repeated that he was prepared to lead her at once to the hymeneal altar, and had purchased the wedding•ring, which he pulled out of his waistcoat pocket, and holding it between his finger and his thumb, exhibited it to the gazing multitude, whose attention was excited by the singularity of the case, exclaiming at the same time, " :iee there, that is a proof that I mean what I say. No other woman shall have the honour of wearing that ring on her fi:ger ex cept Miss Brag."--(Laughter.) Mr. COTTINGIIAM said he thought if a reconciliation could be effected between the parties it would be more prudent than punishing the defendant for the alleged assault, especially as he had evinced by his behaviour that day that he still retained a strong regard for the lady who had adopted the present proceedings. The magistrate then appealed to Miss Brag, the complainant, to know if she was willing to forego the present pro ceedings, the defendant having expressed his willingness to be married to her forthwith. Miss Brag, with emphasis—No, if he was hung with diamonds I would not marry him after such conduct. I feel thanlOul to your Worship for the kindness you have expressed in endeavouring to bring about a recon ciliation between us, but I should endanger my future happiness if I cont , ented to be that man's wife (pointing to the defendant) after the manner in which I have been treated. Here a scene occurred, the defendant on his knees im ploring the complainant to dismiss from her memory the trifling circumstance of Thursday night, and only to think of the happiness that was in store for them if she availed herself of the magistrate's kind advice. Miss Brag, however, wa3 obdurate, and refused to listen to the defendant's entreaties ; upon which the magistrate said, that under the very peculiar circum stances of the case he should let the matter stand over for a week, and probably before the expiration of that time the complainant would alter her mind on the subject. The parties then withdrew, Miss Brag flouncing out of the Cuurt, and not noticing the defendant. WANDS WORTH. William Johnson, an assistant at a shooting-gallery in :Battersea-tells, was charged before Mr. Paynter with unlawfully firing off a loaded gun in a public thoroughfare, and thereby wounding Major-General Parlby. Mr. George Stanley Hinchcliffe, of Hope-cottage, St. Peter's, Hammersmith, paper-stainer, stated that on Thursday last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he was on board the Bride iron steam-boat, Major-General Parlby being also on board, and sitting by him. The boat, which had come from Chelsea, was making for the pier :at Thames-bank, and had nearly come alongside when three men fired at a snipe on or near the beach. The shots were sensibly felt by several of the passengers, who were naturally alarmed. Major-General Parlby and another gentleman exclaimed that they were shot, and upon examination it turned out that a shot had struck the former below the left eye. The Major- General was reading a newspaper at the time, or the con sequences might have been serious. Upon looking to wards the shore, a distance of a very few yards. witness saw three men with guns, who had just been firing. The defendant was one of them. Witness had felt the shots strike on his hat and coat, he being with his back to the fields. When the boat got alongside the pier witness disembarked and went in pursuit of the defendant; whom ho saw run into the British Flag beershop. The de fendant did not deny having fired a gun when taxed with it. Cross-examined by the defendant's solicitor—The boat was not more than fifty feet from the shore when the guns were fired. He could swear that the shots that came to the head of the boat came from the piece discharged by the defendant. Major-General Parlby stated that on Thursday last he was seated on the Bride steam boat reading a news paper, when he suddenly heard three distinct firings, and immediately felt that he had been shot in the cheek, some of the shot rattled against the paper he was read ing, and which he verily believed saved his eye. Upon looking towards the shore he saw three persons with guns in their hands, but he could not swear that de fendant was one. He afterwards saw the defendant in the shooting gallery, and when taxed with the offence he denied it. The General observed that it was only the other day that a friend of his in the India board bad his hand injured under similar circumstances. The defence set up by the solicitor was, that a mistake had been mede in the identity of the party, and he called two witnesses, who both positively swore that only one man had fired, and he had discharged a double barrelled gun at the back of the shooting gallery, and afterwards ran away across the field. The defendant, who was employed to load the rifles in the gallery, only came out when he heard the report ; he was then clean ing a rifle. Mr. Hinchcliffe said the defendant was blind of one eye, and that made him so positive as to his identity. Mr. PAYNTER said that he had not the slightest doubt but that the defendant was one of the parties firing on that occasion, and that it was he that had wounded Major-General Parlby, and had there been a charge of shooting the General brought against the defendant in another court, he was sure the jury would convict. He should inflict the full penalty of Os., or three weeks' imprisonment, and he recommended the shooting gallery to be done away with, for it was evidently a most dan gerous nuisance, and could be indicted as such. Mr. Dore, the proprietor, begged to assure the magis trate that he did trot, as it had been previously stated, let out guns, and that several gentlemen had told him the gallery was a great benefit, inasmuch as it (Avenel the fields and lanes of many who would otherwise be popping about them. Mr. PAYNTER was still of opinion that the establish ment of shouting-galleries, especially in such public places, was a nuisance, and they all ought to be abol ished. The fine was paid. THAMES. MURDEROUS A SSAULT.—Yesterday John Stevens, alias Gipsey Stevens, the landlord of the Mulnerry Tree public house, on Stepney-green, and the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor booth, erected at various subur ban fairs, appeared before Mr. Ballantine, to answer a charge of assaulting end wounding his wife, Trinity Cooper Stevens. On the first examination of the prisoner, who is a powerful man, about fifty years of age, it was proi el in evidence that he beat his wife in a very savage manner, that she was covered with blood, when a — gentleman rescued her from her husband's grasp, and that she had received a severe wound on her head. She was taken to the hospital on the night of the affray, and a certificate was put in, a hen the prisoner was brought before the magistrate last week, stating that she was in great danger. The prisoner was, therefore, remanded to pri son, but subsequently another certificate was put in, to the effect that Mrs. Stevens was out of danger, and her husband was brought up on Monday and admitted to bail. Yesterday, on the prisoner being placed at the bar, Mrs. Stevens, a dark swarthy gipsey, was sworn, and, to the astonishment of every one, she said that her husband was not in fault at all, that she was in liquor on the night in question, and fell upon a fender and cut her head open. Mr. BALLANTINE—There was evidence last week that your husband was standing over you and beating your head against the ground, and it was also stated that he beat his daughter too. Mrs. Stevens repeated that her husband never hurt her at all. Mr. BALLANTINE—He was caught in the act of ill using you, and now you come here to save him. Your head was cut open, woman. Mrs. Stevens—Yes, sir, I fell upon the fender; he did not hurt me at all. Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I don't believe you, but I must discharge this man. Take care, Mr. Stevens, you don't destroy this woman. This is not the first time you have been committing a similar irregularity, and if you do not mind what you are about, you will not only be committed to prison, but lose your license. I believe indeed, but cond uc t t o thi s woman has been very bad but as she declines to make any charge against you, I cannot detain you any longer. Mr. Robinson, the prisoner's solicitor, promised there should be no further cause of complaint, and then alleged that while Stevens was sitting in the kitchen on Wednes day night a police-constable entered and squared at him and challenged him to fight. The constable remained in the house some time, and tried to induc e Stevens to com mit a brea c h o f th e , police. lie hoped the Magistrate would not tolerate such conduct. Mr. BALLANTINE—CertainIy not. I suppose the charge will come before me in the regular way, and then I will hear it: Mr. Robinson said he intended to make a written complaint to the inspector, and the Magistrate would probably hear of the case again. All the parties then proceeded to the office of Mr. Macquard, th e su p er i n tendent of the K division, when Stevens said he had no charge to make, and it appeared the constabl e h a d no t b e en guilty of the conductim puted to him. UNEMPLOYED SEAMEN.—L a bOUT in the vicinity of the docks is very pl en tiful, as well as employment for seamen, qo much so, that the average number of inmates at the Desti ',,rs' A.ylum in Wells-street has not for many weeks ~e lve who are chiefly invalids or perfect! ttltO paU e4ceetle,n, destitute • TAFF VALE RAIL W AY. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this company has been held at the White Lion in this city. There was a numerous attend• ance of proprietors. Sir J. J. Guest, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The Secretary, Mr. KENWAT, read the report, which stated that the directors were pleased at having it in in their power to recommend a dividend of 3/. 3s. per share (less Id. on each oriinal share), and that the sum of 4591. be carried to the fund for the depreciation of stock. Though the accounts showed a slight decrease in the gross receipts in the half-year, as compared with the last, yet it should be observed that the receipts of these six months exceeded the corresponding six months of 1845 by.the sum of 4,7711. 1 ls. 6d. The bridges and remaining part of the double line are in a great state of forwardness, and should the traffic re quire it, may be completed before the end of the year. The extension of the Rhondda branch to the colleries of Messrs. James and Messrs. Insole and Son is now finished. The Bill for the extension of the branches up ' the two Rhonddas and for enabling the company to complete their arrangement with the Marquis of Bute has passed bath Houses of Parliament, and only awats the royal assent. The directors congratulate the com pany on a final and satisfactory settlement of all questions with the Marquis of Bute, by which extensive accommoflation for the speedy shipment of coal.' at fair rates, will be afforded, and such as no other port in the Bristol channel can offer to the public. The retiring directors are Messrs. W. Coffin, 11. Hudliall, and R. Jones, who are eligible for re-election. The CHAIRMAN had little to add to the report, but he must take the opportunity of congratulating them upon the great amount of traffic which would be brought upon the Tuff Vale Railway by the formation of the Aberdare line. Some were sanguine enough to expect as much as 2,000 tons a day, but the directors calcu lated on as much as 600 tons a day Mr. HUTCHINGS, M.P., asked what expense had been gone to in opposing the Vale of Neath line, and whether the committee, who had proceeded to London respecting it, were authorised by the directors ? The CHAIRMAN replied that the expense occasioned by the opposition was about 1,5001., and . The SECRETARY read the minutes of the directors' meeting, from which it appeared that the chairman, de puty-chairman, and three other directors, had beets ap pointed as a Parliamentary Committee, to attend to all the Parliamentary business connected with the company. Mr. J. PRICE said that dissatisfaction was felt by many proprietors about the opposition, and he should be glad to have some explanation of the circumstances. Mr. POOLE (one of the directors) said, that if the directors had not opposed the Vale of Neath line they would not have been any longer entitled to the confi dence of the proprietors.—(hear, hear.) The Vale of Neath line was put forward as a competinr , line with the Taff Vale Railway, and Mr. Fisher, who prepared the traffic tables, relied on much of the traffic now car ried by the Taff Vale line being taken by the Vale of Neath line.—(llear, hear.) Further, their station at Merthy. was to have been crossed by the Vale of Ncath line at a height of thirty-five feet, and the only approach to it would have been by one arch. Mr. HUTCHINGS condemned the expense as useless. He did not think that the Taff Vale Railway would suffer a loss of traffic. One or two of the proprietors vindicated the conduct of the directors in opposing the Bill. In answer to a question put by Mr. J. PRICE, The CHAIRMAN said that the negotiation for leasing the Aberdare line had only just been commenced, and, therefore, nothing definite could be stated. The sub ject, before any step should be binding was taken, would be submitted to the consideration of the proprietors at large. He would mention, however, that there was an amicable feeling existing between the directors of both companies. Resolutions adopting the report, and declaring a divi dend of 31. 3s. per original share, were then passed. Messrs. W. Coffin, H. Rudhall, and R. Jones were re-elected directors. ROMANTIC AD VENTURE. ATTEMPT TO POISON. DEATH OF ONE OF TIIE SUFFERERS. A most diabolical attempt to poison the whole family of Dr. Grattan, of Drummond House, county Kildare, was made on the 17th inst. His eldest son, a lad of fifteen, died in consequence; and Mrs. Grattan, the four surviving children, and a servant maid are still in a very precarious condition. From the circumstances brought to light at the inquest, and from what we have learned from other sources, it would appear that Dr. Grattan, alarmed at the wide-spread failure of the potato crop, end anxious to make timely provision for the wants of his labourers likely to be deprived by this mysterious visitation of much of their ordinary food, had a small supply of Indian meal brought from Dublin at his own cost for the purpose of introducing it amongst them and familiarising them to its use. Some prejudice against it having been ma nifested, Dec:or Grattan, in order to remove it, if pos sible, determined to use it in his own family ; and upon finding that his domestic servants refused even to prepare it, insisted on their doing so, and stood by until his di rections were obeyed. Of the meal thus prepared he . and all his children partook ; in the kitchen, the ser vants refused to eat it, and their share was given to four calves, all of which died shortly after. The following morning Doctor Grattan was actually engaged in inves Liget ing this extraordinary occurrence, which had imme diately been spread abroad amongst the ignorant peasantry as to the effect of the Indian corn, when, his eldest son called him to breakfast, mentioning at the same time that they had just breakfasted on flummary, and what was very curious, that they were every one of them sick and vo miting ; and true it was. When he reached the house he found Mrs. Grattan, the four children, and a servant maid exhibiting all the symptoms of poisoning by arsenic. The doctor having by his accidental absence escaped partaking of the poisoned food, was able to give instant assistance to the unfortunate sufferers, and had used the ordinary antidotes and remedies hours before medical assistance could possibly have reached them from any other quarter. To this most providential oc currence it may in all human probability be'attributed that any of them are now living. In spite of every care his eldest son died within 21 hours, and the others of the family are not out of danger. An inquest was held upon the body of the young and unfortunate victim on Friday, and a verdict implicating the cook in the transaction was found, in consequence of which she has been committed to Naas gaol. The matter, however, is still far from being cleared up; but the investigation is being actively carried on by Richard More O'Farrell, Esq., M.P.; assisted by Wm. Foote, Esq., J. 1!.; J. 11. Nangle, "Esq , J.P.; and J. Doffing, stipendiary magistrate. We have every hope that the perpetrators of this awful affair will be promptly discovered and brought to justice.—Dublin Evening Post. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAILS.

It fills eighteen columns of the official paper. THE HAGUE, AUG. 25.—Accounts from Malta, of the 13th of August, announce that the squadron under the command of his Royal Highness Prince Henry, arrived in that harbour on the 10th inst.

Orfeur, an English schooner from Liverpool, bound to Dordrecht, which was stranded and went to pieces yesterday morn ing in the Banjard. The wind was so high, that though many boats attempted to approach the wreck, this was the only one that succeeded in rescuing, after great efforts, these men from the most imminent danger. Tc eir gratitude and joy were unbounded, and fully participated by their brave companions. BATAVIA, JUNE 26. The epidemic disorder in Ka doria has again brok, n out with increased violence. Up to 29th May, 588 persons had fallen victims to it, and 1,160 were still ill. BRUSSELS, AUG. 24.—The trial of Messrs. 'Udder and Borquet will probably be concluded on Wednesday evening. The list of witnesses for the defence was ex hausted to-day, and the Attorney-General commenced his address. The witnesses examined to-day, who re ceived orders from De Ridder, gave evidence of his soli citude for the interest of the Government, as well as to the pains he took to contract for the lowest prices possible. M. de Dordolot stated, that in consequence of the re duction which De 'Udder caused him to make in the prices, the Government gained a sum of 800,000 francs. The King and Queen, the Duke de Brabant, and the Count de Flandre went yesterday, at ten o'clock, to Ant • werp They went to the exhibition of paintings, where the King desired to see several artists, with whom their Majesties conversed with great affability. In the room allotted to the engravings his Majesty stopped a consi derable time before ten splendid engravings on wood by Mr Henry Brown, professor in the academy. The King desired to see him, and their Majesties complimented him in the most flattering terms. Their Majesties re turned to Brussels the same evening. It appears from the further accounts respecting the murder of M. Londoz, that there are several errors in the statement, and especially that there was no violent struggle between him and the murderer, as represented. Nothing is yet known respecting the murderer, though the most diligent inquiries are being made. Paris is the place for romantic adventures. One night, some months ago, a young officer of a cavalry regiment was returning to his barracks late at night, when he saw on one of the bridges a young woman of considerable beauty, but clad in the mean gar ments of a workwoman, preparing to plunge into the river. He seized her, and threatened to take her to the station-house. She supplicated, however, so earnestly to be left alone, that the officer consented to release her; first, however, exacting a solemn pro mise that she would not repeat her attempt. She hurried away; but the young soldier deemed it right to follow her. Luckily it was that he did so; for no sooner did she believe herself free from observation than the unhappy girl plunged into the river. The officer was close upon her, and, with some difficulty, and not without danger, succeeded in dragging her to laud. This time he insisted upon accompanying her home. With extreme reluctance, the would-be suicide led him to a miserable lodging in the most wretched part of the town. Knocking at the door, an old woman ap peared, to whom the officer related what had happened. Ah, madam," she cried, "it was for that, then, you borrowed my clothes!" and she went on to relate to the young officer that the pretended unknown was no other than the daughter of a nobleman of the highest rank, and that she had that night come to bor row the dress in which she appeared, in order, as she said, to avoid discovery in a love adventure. In proof of the truth of the story, the old woman pointed to the young lady's dress which she had left on assuming her coarse attire. This naturally excited the young man's curiosity to the highest pitch. He insisted on accompanying the young lady to her father, to whom he related all that had taken place. Warm thanks were, of course, heaped upon him, and he was invited to the house, at which he subsequently became a constant visitor. An intimacy sprang up between him and the young lady, which ripened into aff,ction, and the affection resulted in a marriage, celebrated a few days ago. This tale is true, strange as it may appear. It has, of course, created an immense sensation in the higher circles of Parisian society; and at present it is said that all young unmarried ladies are bent on attempting to commit suicide at midnight, in the hope of being saved by a handsome officer of hussars. It is so romantic ; and whatever is romantic has immense popularity in Paris. MRS. TROLLOPE AND THE COLD-WATER CURE.—In the new work, entitled "Travels and Travellers." just laid before the public, from the pen of the cleverest and most spirited of modern female writers—Mrs. Trollope—there will be found some revelations of perhaps the greatest of modern, mysteries—those of Graffenberg. The pamphlet of Sir Ed ward Bulwer Lytton has already attracted public attention, in no ordinary degree, to the physiology of the cold water cure ; and should it prove that so acute and talented an ob server as Mrs. Trollope has been led, from experience, to form similar notions upon the matter, there can be little doubt that the medicine men among our tribes have amply suf ficient cause to set their house in order. SLAVE TRADE.—By a Parliamentary document (pro cured by Mr. Hume), it appears that there were in the year 1845 (the return being made up for the Ist of July, as an average for the force employed for the whole of the year) 56 ships, of 886 guns, and 9,289 men, employed in the sup• pression of the slave trade; of which 27 of the vessels, with 282 guns and 3,334 men, were employed on the west coast of Africa station. Although the ships were furnished with slave-trade instructions, they were only employed in cruising against slave vessels as the other duties of the station on which they were respectively employed would permit. By the second brand} of the document it seems that the charge for the ships of Itar employed in the suppression of the slave trade in the course of last year. was 706,4541., and the deaths of officers and men numbered 259, and others invalided to 271 ; making a total of deaths and invalids in one year 530. The mortality in vessels on the west coast of Africa was 166, and the invalids 104 ; and the vessels not exclusively employed on the west coast of Africa, respectively 93 and 167. Thus it will be seen that the expense of vessels to suppress the slave trade in one year was 706,4541., and the deaths and invalided officers and men 530. AGRICULTURAL REPORTS. (From Bell's Weekly Messenger.) NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE, AUG. 13.—Harvest is rapidly proceeding, four-fifths of the wheat having been carried in good condition; the crops are very variable—some very good, others indifferent. Upon the whole, we consider it a full average as to quantity; the quality bold and heavy, though not so white and rather rougher in the skin than in 1844. Barley is light in the straw, hut off the wold land will be of fair malting quality; on the strong land it is late and bsd; some fields green, others part green, part nearly ripe. Oats an average crop. Beans wretched (ono to three sacks per acre); some fields scarcely worth reaping. Turnips are uni formly a full splendid crop, up to the knees in top, and turning fast. Potatoes rapidly decaying. Wheat, the chief dependence of the farmer, is very seriously re duced in price: old red of 611 b. per bushel has been sold for 355. per qr.; how can language be found sufficiently strong fully to describe the treachery of those men who have brought the country into this state? It also appears that the operatives are beginning to find in the attempts their masters are making to reduce their wages, that they have merely been used, as the monkey used the cat's paw, to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. As the loaf increases, wages fall. EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE, AUG. 20.—We are now in the midst of our harvest operations ; in the southern parts of the riding, the principal part of the wheat is secured in superb condition ; in the northern districts it is yet for the most part in the field, although should the weather he favourable, ere this comes from tke press much will have been secured. As it is, the weather for the last few days has been unsettled and threatening, and has caused considerable anxiety to the farmers who have their corn yet abroad ; it has not, however, sustained any injury from sprout as yet. We scarcely recollect a year since the summer of 1826, when the fields were cleared with such rapidity as in the pre sent year. The wheat upon almo-t all descriptions of soil has cut up a very light crop, and has gone into very little space. Oats, although much improved are short in the straw, and a light crop ; barley is still worse, and beans are nearly a failure altogether. The yielel of the wheat crop, upon which such great anticipations have been formed, seems to disappoint general expectation, and it is our firm conviction that if the East Riding yield "stook and bushel," to use the East Riding phrase, we are below an average. Yet from the expe rience of those who have thrashed, we feel satisfied that we are to have no such yield, and our firm conviction is, that we are four or six bushels under an average. The quality is superb, equal to 1844, and the accounts of the weight are good. The potato crop is again a failure, to all appearance worse than the last year. Doubtless, this circumstance, taken in connexion with the deficient yield of the wheat crop, has the tendency to cause the present advance in the price of wheat, but the price must Le much higher to enable the farmer to pay his way with the present crop. Turnips grow beautifully, and the prospect for winter keep is good. BRECONSHIRE, Aun. 18.—I travel frequently through the greater part of South Wales, more especially . through Breconshire, and as I perceive you are favoured by correspondents with agricultural reports from most of the English counties, I do not sea why you should not hear a little concerning the proceedings in this county, as I think we can boast of farms and farmers equal to any in England, in the Vale of Usk. More than two. thirds of the wheat has been housed in very good condition, and will, I think, yield very well, although there is a general complaint of a defficiency in the head. The crop is much lighter than last year, with regard to the straw, but the head heavier and finer sample. The weather at present is very unfavourable, scarcely a e sthat barley fields day passing by without heavy showers. It w ill oc casion serious loss to the small f armers s i tuate d near the foot of the mountains, many o f w h om h ave while as ein y g e t to s do scarcelyo fickle. so late any have been down for the last three w ee k s , t h e weat h er b a counted te l i n otthee veryiar so hayn many i te Several hadandnotoa t The . been mown, which it would b e scarce l y wort h crops are rapidly falling under the stroke of the sickle, in expectation of fine weather after this continuance of wet. They are on the average light, in particular the oats, scarcely repaying the husbandman for his trouble. Peas, also, are similar to the oats, the pods few, and not well filled. Of turnips, both swedes and common, we could scarcely have a finer show, the leaves looking healthy and of such a luxuriant green hue, quite different from the last year's. I have seen several of the size of a large basin. Last year's destructive disease has again attacked the potatoes, but in a more virulent form. We were in expectation that we should have escaped it, but INTERESTING DISCOVERY AT GLOUCESTER.—A dis covery of a curious and interesting nature has just been made at the Gas Works near the Quay, in this city, where the workmen, in sinking the ground for the erection of a new gasometer, have arrived at what was evidently an old quay wall, consisting of large stones, three or four feet square, and rather more than a foot thick, laid upon piles. This old quay wall runs parallel with the present quay, but not less than 120 feet distant from it, showing that the course of the Severn has receded very much, and that the houses, warehouses, part of the gaol, &c., now standing along side the Quay, are situated on what was anciently the bed of the river. This change was probably the work of very many years, and caused by the current gradually washing away the alluvial soil on the opposite shore. The discovery is highly curious in another point of view. This old quay wall is no less than eighteen feet below the surface of the ground, and leads to the natural inference that the level of the city of G:oucester at the date of the erection of tLat wall, which was probably in the time of the Romans, was eighteen feet below the present level of that city. The spot has been visited by several of the archaeolo gists now in Gloucester, and by other gentlemen, and they all, we believe, concur in the opinion that this excavation has brought to light some of the work of the Roman occu pants of the old Caer-Glow.—Gloucester Journal. MYSTERIOUS AND HORRIBLE AFFAIR.--It was only on Saturday last that the Coroner of Rochester made a re presentation to the Magistrates of that city of the frequent exposure of the dead bodies of infants within his j urisdiction, but the case we have now to describe far exceeds in atrocity all the acts of which he then complained. On Monday morning, between two and three o'clock, Mr. Richardson, a coke and lime burner, living at Chalk-pit-hill, Chatham, was awoke by the barking of his dogs, and on looking out of his bed-room window, saw on his premises the figure of a woman, apparently with only a petticoat and shawl thrown over her, but thinking it might be an old tramping woman who occasionally slept about his place, he thought little of the circumstance. The dogs still barking, he looked again, when he saw the same woman approach the mouth of the coke oven, and suddenly throw something into it, when a bright flame burst forth from the same, and appeared to scorch her, as site quickly drew h,:ek, as if to avoid being burnt. The heat of the furnace at th e ti me must have been intense, as it had been burning 18 hours. Having accom plished her purpose, she hastily quitted the yard. He re lated what he had observed to his wife, who remarked that most likely it was something the party had stolen and wanted to get rid of, and under this impression he retired to rest. In the morning, when he went to the oven, he was horror struck at beholding what appeared to him to be the remains of a child lying in the burning mass. The bones in shape were distinctly to be seen, but on disturbing them crumbled into ashes. They were carefully extracted from the furnace, and conveyed to Mr. Steddy, surgeon. of Chatham, but of the original it does not, appear that anything can be pro duced on which an inquest might be held. The case is in volved in the greatest mystery, and has produced, as may be imagined, an extraordinary degree of horror and excite ment in the neighbourhood. THE WEYMOUTH HARBOUR OF REFUGE.—We are now on the eve of great events with regard to this port and watering place. The sum of 30,000/. was voted last week in the House of Commons to carry on the construction of a breakwater at Portland. All things are now ready, and be fore another week we expect to be able to announce that this great national project is begun. We are to have a large supply of convict labour, and as Portland Roads is so safe a place for shipping, we expect the hulks will be brought down from Portsmouth or Chatham to be anchored there for their reception.—Sherborne Journal. A REMEDY.—I beg to call your attention and that of others to a simple process for stopping the disease in the potato crop. Take a three-pronged fork, put it in just suffi cient to raise the root and soil surrounding it, and I will guarantee it answering. This will cost ss. 6d. per acre, which I am now paying. I found tins out last year by pulling. up a few roots, as every (me is apt to do, to see how they go on ; the disease did not touch them, although the remainder were as bad as , pessible.--J.
