A military execution took place on Tuesday morn ing on the Polygon at Vincennes, in presence of de tachments from all the regiments of the garrison of Paris and the adjacent forts, amounting to nearly 12,000 men. The crime of the prisoner, a private in bh e Sappers and Miners, was the murd e r o f hi s cor poral. Precisely at eight o'clock the prisoner arrived at the place of execution in a cellular van, escorted by a body of gendarmes, and accompanied by the almoner of the Military Prison. The vehicle drove up to the centre of the Polygon —an enclosed space on the large . plain southeast of the Donjon— and the criminal descended, attended by his con fessor, and walked with a fi rm s t e p t o wards the piquet of twelve men app o i n t e d to carry the sen tenceinto execution. His condemnation having been read to him, he pressed the crucifix to his lips, and took leave of his c on f ess or, w ho immediately re tired with the officials in attendance. He then ad vanced to the front of the piquet, and when at a few paces distant knelt down. A bandage w as placed over his eyes, and he himself gave the signal to . fire by letting fall a handkerchief. A sharp volley in stantly followed, and he fell lifeless. The condemned conducted himself with perfect coolne ss, betra y in g neither the least apprehension of death nor unbecom ing display of bravado. The morning was gloomy and lowering, in perfect harmony with the melancholy scene, and the grave and serious demeanour of the troops as they marched past the extended body of the criminal showed a perfect sense of the solemn and painful spectacle they bad been called upon to witness. Captain Ducrest de Villeneuve, commanding the frigate the Forte, which is at present in the roadstead at Brest, was told three days ago that a sailor, noted for his bad conduct, had refused to obey an order given him by an officer on duty. The c a pt a i n o rdered the man to obey ; but, instead of complying, the sailor seized a sword, and by a tremendous blow on the head felled him to the deck. He then struck him several duns. He was at length secured. The blow on the head was lessened by the captain having his pocket-handkerchief in his cap, and the blows he re ceived when down were not serious. Th e crew were with di ffi culty prevented from doing immediate j ust i c e on the assailant. Th e captain i 3 the SOD .0t the well known admiral.

ITALY - The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa quotes a letter from Turin of the 13th, in which it is stated that th e resignation of the Minister of the Interior, M. E n . NATI, is s poken of 1%3 certain.

Intelligence has just arrived from Constantinople that Au DACHA is appointed Grand Vizier in place of RESCHID, who withdraws completely from affairs of the state. ACHMET FESHI also retires. It is be lieved that RIAD EFFENDI will be appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Journal de Constantinople of the 4th pub lishes a letter from the French Ambassador, M. DE LAVALETTE, to the Chancellor of the Consulate, placing at his disposal, for the relief of French resi dents who had suffered losses in the recent fire at kera, the sum of 10,000 Turkish piastre?, which he had intended to appropriate for the celebration of the fete of the 15th inst. The Ambassador says he is sure that the PRINCE PRESIDENT will approve of this change. EGYPT. Accounts from Cairo to the sth have bsen received. The political situation continued to be very calm ; the only thing, indeed, which had occurred was some promotions in the upper administration—EDHEY PACRA. to be Minister of Foreign Affairs, KHAIR EDDLN-PACHA to be Minister of Commerce, and ADDEERHAMAN BEY, formerly Abderrhaman Effendi, a Maltese by birth, to be Chief of the Police, under the nominal direction of SELIM PACHA. KHAI/L EDDIN PACHA and ADDERRHAMAN BEY are noted for their attachment to England. The opening fete of the Kalidj, which always takes place when the rise of the Nile causes its graters to flow into the interior canal of the city, took place on the lat. ABBAS PACHA went from Bennah with a small Squadron of steamers, and attended the ceremony Without landing. He then returned to his favourite residence. The Envoy of the Porte had not arrived ; he was expected with some impatience by the friends of the Government. HEALTH OF LONDONDURING THE WEEK.

The premier Peer of Scotland, the venerable Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, expired yesterday morning at his mansion in Portman-square. His Grace was one of the oldest, if not the very oldest member of the Peerage, having been born in the year 1767, and consequently be had attained the patriarchal age of 85. He succeeded his father, who was the ninth Duke, in 1819, taking his seat in the House of Lords by two titles—the Duke of Brandon and Baron Dut ton. His Grace never took any prominent . part in policies. In the year 1810 , when ,43 yearsot ewe, he married the second daughter of Mr . William Beck ford, of Fenthill Abbey, whose celebrity in art and literature will long be remembered. The issue of this marriage was one son and one daughter. His Grace is succeeded in his title and estates by his son, William Alexander Anthony Archibald, Mar quis of Douglas and Clydesdale, who was horn in 1811, and who married in 1843 the Princess Mary Amelia Elizabeth Caroline, daughter of the late reigning Grand Duke of Baden, and first cousin to the President of the French Republic. The late Duke was a Privy Councillor, a Knight of the Garter, a Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Antiquarian Society, and President of the Royal Society of Scotland. By his demise, a blue riband is:placed at the disposal of the Earl of Derby. The family is one of great eminence and antiquity in the peerage of Scotland. Tile keepership a Holyrood House is hereditary in it. The second Earl of Arran, of this line, which title was created in 1503, was chosen Regent of Scotland in 1542, and was the next year declared heir presumptive to the Crown. He I was created Duke of Chatelberault, by Henry 11. of France, a dignity which he subsequently surrendered to the French Monarch. The first Duke was be headed, having been taken at the battle of Preston fighting under Charles I. The second Duke was slain at the battle of Worcester, in the service of Charles 11. The present Duke, who is the eleventh, has one son, born in 1845, who bas hitherto borne the ' courtesy title of Earl of Angus and Arran, but wbo will now take that of Marquis of Douglas and Clydes dale. The Earldom of Angus was created in 1389. Many noble families are placed iu mourning by the decease of the venerable Duke. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM. (From the Times) If we were only to keep as sharp a lookout for enemies as we do for our friends, the shores of England would, indeed, be secure from invasion. We trust the public will have been greatly edified by the account of all the saluting and blazing at our gracious Sovereign, as she steamed to and from Belgium. It is difficult to imagine how the sense of dignity can be gratified by these ab surd displays. Had Queen Victoria been a pigeon let loose from a trap in Battersea -fields she could not have been more sedulously popped at than during her recent cruise up and down the channel. A rumour that the little squadron was in sight was sufficient signal for com mencing the display of this sulphurous loyalty. W e are at a loss to conceive what gratification could hay() re sulted to her Majesty from so sill y a demons tration. Of positive results, indeed, we know but two—th e Waite o f kin enormous quantity of gunpowder and the mutilation of a wretched seaman in the Scheldt. Were any argument necessary beyond the patent ab surdity of the existing custom to recommend so whole some a change, it might be found in the fact that, while our war ships and batteries a re giving her Majesty a series of headaches by the discharge of blank cartridges, the. supply of powder allowed for practising gunnery is notoriously insufficient. We teach our sailors to fire at their Queen, but we deny them the instruction which would enable them to fire with effect upon the Queen's enemies. W e canna forget that not many years since a French ship of war steamed into Sheerness without being sa hited all, and that when at last the attention of the authorities in that martial port was aroused to the presence of their unexpected guests, they had some considerable difficulty in carrying out the noisy cere monial with any decency. Surely it would be better to expend our powder in the instruction of our sailors than to waste it in so scandalous and useless a manner. _ &sides, the custom must be as great a nuisance to those illustrious personages to whom honour is intended as it is to the iunabitants of those ports which are ae• lected as their usual points of embarkation or return. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. (ruoM A CORRESPONDENT.) When any great public buil din g , pu bli c market , or public .thoroughfare, &e., in; to be raised to the foun dation for re-construction, it is invariably the custom that most of the material for the new building is either already prepared, or easily accessible, before commencing to pull asunder the old structure. These previous preparations are made with the vie* that no time might be lost in the re-construction of the build ing, that public business might not be hindered with nece ssities to transact it in temporary places ; and i w a t l h h l oeswree3e ffdtolafioedricl7ognesas,trrscsuect.otiolno look t b eai likent ga t hat wreilna p eew a r r ne t ed o s sfn may not u t i o n w sb n we Billingsgate, as a public market, it appears, must be an exception to the general rule. It is just now about three years and three-quarters of a year since market the demolition of old Billingsgate and the re construction of the n ew one on its • site commenced; and at the present day, on viewing the market from Lower Thames-street, it may yet be seen that a great deal of work has to be performed before its • final com pletion. It becomes rather an awkward affair at times to lay asi • de an old machine, and wait until the material s for the re -construction of a new one are manufac tured. An Irishman , who depended man, _upon the ready us e o f a goo d musket, seems to have been aware of that fact. When Pat wanted his musket renewed, he went to a gun.smith and said, in accents as broad as his countrymen are famed for— " Arrah, my honey, this musket of mine requires a new stock, a new lock, and a new barrel ; but I must have them almost immediately." The gunsmith having plenty of the material on hand already manu factured, of course was very soon able to s upply Paddy with an entire new musket. There was a Scotchman, too, who could not get on without a sharp-edged instrument; he went to a cutler and said, "Please, sir, this knife of mine requires a new handle and a fresh blade; but as I can't well do without a knife I will just keep this one by me until you have completed one exactly similar to it, or you may im prove upon it if you can." Billingsgate-market may be assimilated to an old boot, that bad been given to a cobbler with directions to put on it a new top, new front, new heel, and new sole ; but the artist has not yet been enabled to finish more than the top, heel, and sole—the front building next to Thames -street has yet to be erected. The reasons for the market not being in a more forward state after such a lapse of time, it is difficult to conjecture; but there are other public grievences and eyesores in and about the market that ought to be exposed. That part of the building facing the river has been finished now upwards of nine months, but the rudely constructed, unsightly gangway at the middle of the quay is still there, thus preventing the vessels from being properly berthed and arranged along the quay, and thereby prevent confusion. The old grievance that the oyster smacks lay in one tier alongside of each other, stretching right out into the middle of the river, obstructing a passage for barges, &c., is this day as prominent as it was three years ago. Another grievance that should be exposed is the unwarrantable filthy state the market has been kept in of late. The reason assigned for this neglect is stated to be the 16-horse power engine, situate below in the shellfish-market, is not yet in fair working order. When it is so it will heave up a stream of water through the fountain that will fill the large basin which stands in the middle o f the market in about ten minutes, besides driving a large fanner which is to ventilate the shellfish-market. The ex pense of keeping up this engine it is supposed will be about 1,0001. per annum. As regards the reason as signed about the engine not yet being in working order, it is correct enough, it having been inquired into ; but that is no sufficient reason why the market is allowed to remain unscrubbcd and unwashed for several days together during summer weather; water might be carried from the river in buckets, if no other method is conveniently at hand. Another eyesore that seems to puzzle a good many visitors to Billingsgate is the row of houses that stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and the market, and which it was supposed would be pulled down, and thus leave an open space for carts and waggons to stand, and prevent the overcrowding of Thames-street. It would seem that instead of those houses coming down, they are making erections and building about them, which has all the appearance of en intention that those houses are to remain as they are for a number of years at least. After all the expense that will have been incurred in reconstructing Billings gate-market, unless the whole of those houses which stand betwixt Darkhouse-lane and it are swept away, and an open space left for carts, waggons, &c., the market itself will be but a very poor looking affair to the eye, nor will the inhabitants along Lower Thames-street be relieved in the smallest degree from their present grievance, an overcrowded state of the street in the morning and great confusion.

It appeared that the prisoner had been housemaid in the femily of a gentleman named Ripley, residing in Abercrombie-square, for about five years. No sus picion was excited that she was in the family way. On the morning of the 25th of March she was at breakfast as usual, and went upstairs to attend to her ' duties. When the servants called her down to din ner they received no answer, and on going up stairs they discovered the prisoner lying on the floor of one of the rooms insensible. Mr. Nottidge, a surgeon, was immediately called in, and discovered that she had been recently delivered of a child. In an adjoin ing bedroom the newly-born body of a female child, with a flannel handkerchief wrapped round its neck and the tongue protruding, was found in a wash basin. On a post nzortem examination of the child the lungs were found to be congested. In the opinion of the surgeon the child had been born alive, and had died from drowning. Mr. MoNx, for the defence, contended that the test of the child having been born alive—that its lungs floated, was now exploded, and there was no satisfac tory evidence to show that the child had ever lived. Assuming it to have been born alive, there was no satis factory evidence that the prisoner had caused its death, as she might have become insensible while at- tempting to clean the child. His LORDSHIP summed up, directing the jury that if they were not satisfied that the evidence was con clusive as to the main charge they must acquit her, as there was no evidence to support a verdict of con cealing the birth. The jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. James 111‘Donald, aged 18, and John illagnor, aged 18, were indicted for a garotte robbery on James M‘Kowne, at Liverpool, on the 23d of April last. Mr. Simon prosecuted ; the prisoners were un defended. It appeared the prosecutor was a pig and cattle dealer, and about 12 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 231 of April, he was proceeding towards his lodg ings in Upper Milk-street, when he was attacked near there by five men, who seized him by the throat and pinioned him. Having prevented him from making any resistance, they robbed him of 1451. in gold and notes, upwards of 1001. pound of it being in sove reigns, after which they made off. The prosecutor, who is an Irishman, knew the men, who were a l so I r i s h , b y s i g h t, an d afterwards identi fied the two prisoners, who were apprehended at Ormskirk, having changed there one of the 51. notes, which was proved to have been paid to the prosecutor by a man in Birmingham a few days before in a pur chase of some pigs. The prisoners, in defence, said they found the pro secutor lying drunk under a lamp-post, and his money lying beside him. The jury found the prisoners Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said it was shocking to think bow prevalent the crime of which the prisoners had been found guilty had become in this part of the country, and it was necessary to make an example of them. The sentence of the Court was that they be transported for fifteen years. John Dcwd was indicted for having, at Liverpool, on the Ste of April, murdered Thomas Conway. ; tern T. Atkibson and Mr. Hibbert proscuted, and Mr. Al'Oubray defended the prisoner. It t.p,:ared, that on ;Saturday night, or early on Sund2a3, morning, the sth of April, the prisoner and the dece4s:rd had a quarrel is Albert-etree^, Toxteth park, the orign of the quarrel not being dearly known. Both were drunk, and began to fight. After having fought three or four rounds fairly, as cle , i;ribed by several witnesses who were present, the prisoner was seen to pull a claspknife out of his packet, open it, and then return it into his pocket. He then again challenged the deceased to renew the fight, and two or three more rounds were fought. A woman named Mary Holland interfered, and per suaded the deceased to fight no more. The deceased then walked towards his home a few yards, when he was followed by the prisoner and stabbed in the side. The prisoner then walked sharply off, but was followed and taken into custody by a policeman. When apprehended he denied all knowledge of the matter. The deceased was immediately taken to the Southern Hospital, where he died shortly after wards of acute inflammation produced by the wound. His dying declaration was taken, which in substance stated that he and the prisoner went into a whiskey shop, had some drink together, and quarrelled ; that they then went out and began to fight, and fought several rounds, when be refused to fight any more, and the prisoner stabbed him as he was going away. They were both drunk at the time. On the case being closed for the prosecution, His LORDSHIP asked whether the counsel for the prosecution, after this evidence, could contend that the facts amounted to more than evidence of the crime of manslaughter, which he thought could not be denied by the Learned Counsel for the prisoners. Both Counsel having assented to this view, by the direction of his Lordship, the jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter. He was sentenced to be imprisoned for two years with hard labour. Sabrina Mooney, aged 22, and Mary Mooney, her mother, aged 60, were indicted f or th e mu rder of the female infant child of the younger prisoner at War rington on the 9th of July la s t. Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. John Cross , assi g ned by the Court, defended the prisoners. Is appeared that the two prisoners lived in a court called Grimes-court, at Warrington, and that for some wee k s prior to the 9th of July last the younger prisoner was observed to be stouter than usual. On the 9th of July, the night of about eight o'clock, the younger prisoner was observed to go into the privy in the yard, she having previ ous l y b een b roug ht h ome in a cart A short time afterwards cries of "Mother, mother, were heard t o proceed front the pri y, and a neighbour hea r i ng t h em t o ld th e e ld er v •prisoner that her daughter was crying out for her. The mother went into the privy, an d w as see n after wards leadin her daughter away. She consulted a g' about her, telling her that her daughter n h e a i d gb h b e o e u n r taken with a violent haemorrhage for the first time for nine months, in consequence of a cold she then got. The prisoner wa s put to b e d, b u t, suspi cion arising, the privy was afterwards searched, and in the soil, deeply imbedded, a newly-born infant child was found. On examination, the umbilical cord was found -to have been broken, and the lungs ap have been inflated, and from other appear ancespeered to su rgeons called in were of opinion that the the child had been born alive. Tbs lungs crepitated and floated, and port of the soil was found in the bronchial tubes. Dir. cross , for the defence, urged that the elder prisoner h a d evidently gone o nly to assist her dau rrhter, sn a that the daught e r had been taken i n l a b ou r in the privy, and the child bad fallen into th e soil. A s to the 'laughter, however she might be charge of endea vour ing to conceal th e liable to the birth of her child, she was not on the evidence guilt y of the cherge i m puted to her.

(The trial of J y aM e3 BiAtcridge nnd Charlotte Webber, i c o ntinued from o ur Afternoon Eltion ofyest er d a Evidence was adduced as to the character o f fi at . teridge. The, Learned JUDGE then summed evident©, up the and tho jury Acqui tted both the prisoners, NE IV COURT. Daniel Jackson, 35, agent, was indicted f or o b ta i n. ins by false pretences of Robert Hendry M ason various sums of money with intent to cheat and de fraud him. Air. Viroollett prosecuted. Mr. Charnock and published at that The prosecutor, who is proprietor of the Green w i c h Observer, a monthly pap?r place, stated th..t the prisoner engaged himself to him as aa advertising agent to collect a dvertisements at 20 p er cent. II;' brought him s everal, for which he p a id him his commission, but after he had been with hi m seine short time he brought him several advertisements from some townspeopole of Dartford and Greenwich, for which ho aid bin' his comm ission befo re their p publication. Upon prosecutor applying for , payment he found that th e several a d v ertisements rorming subject of the charge had b een o rdered not to be i n _ serted, th e pr i soner h av ing canvassed the persons a n d received special orders from them not to insert the advertisements which be had brought to them, having cut them from some of the local journals i n which they did advertise. The jury found him Guilty. . Some d ocuments were handed tip to his Lordship, stating ttat the prisoner had been guilty of a simil ar offence towards the proprietors of the Iliaidqone Journal. The COUR T sen t e nced him to s ix months' imprison ment. James B ra d s h aw , 26, laboure r, was indicted for the manslaughter of Alfred Lowman, at Barking, on the `" of July. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, an d Mr. Clarkson do. fended. It appeared that the prisoner lived at Barking, in Essex, and, upon the day in question, a dead horse having to be fetched some few miles from the town, he went for it, taking with him a little boy and a girl for a ride. When he got to the place where the horse was, although then somewhat " fresh," he bad more beer,, and was, when he started to return, very nearly drunk, and flogged the horse into a furious gallop, and, upon turning a place called Bull-corner at Barking, the cart upset, and threw him, the two children, and dead horse out. The little boy fell under the cart, and received such a fearful fracture of the skull that his - brains came out, and he died in a few minutes, the prisoner himself receiving such sari , ous injuries that for some time he was an inmate of the London Hospital. The several witnesses who were examined all gave the prisoner a good character for humanity and stea diness of conduct. The jury found him Guilty. The RECORDER asked how long the prisoner had been in prison The prisoner said he had been ten days in the hos pital, and one month in gaol. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that where persons having the command of horses urged them to a furious speed, and any accident resulted from it, he should, if the case came before him, punish them most severely, as he did not know any class of offence that evinced more recklessness as to results, and most especially in the case of omnibus and other public drivers. There was some difference in this instance, and, considering what the prisoner had already suffered, and the character he had borne, he should order him to be further imprisoned for one month in Newgate. Upon this case being called in the turn it stood upon the paper, it had to be postponed until later in the day, one of the Learned Counsel retained in it being then engaged in one at the Middlesex Sessions. His LORDSMIP said that the inconvenience caused by the Middlesex magistrates fixing the same days for trials as this Court was very great, and there ought to be some alteration in the system. It was most improper, quite unnecessary, and very unjust to the bar. Several gentlemen of the bar said they felt the in convenience very much, and hoped that there would soon be some alteration. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) Charles Collins, 62, publisher, a respectable look ing old man, was indicted for stealing a case of four portraits, valued at 101, the property of Antonio Claudet. Mr. W. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Robinson defended. The prisoner in this case had gone to the 'prosecu tor, who is the well-known daguerreotype artist of Regent-street, and, under pretence that he was pub lishing a portrait gallery of the aristocracy and others, borrowed the case of likenesses, which were never returned, and subsequently found to have been pawned. The evidence failing to prove that the pictures had been given to the prisoner in the first instance, his Lordship directed an acquittal. He was then indicted for stealing a daguerreotype portrait, the property of Robert Hogg. The prosecutor, who was the American daguer2eq type artist, and proprietor of the miniature gallf,ry, 432, West Strand, proved that the prisoner camp to him with a similar tale, and after having some busi ness transactions, one of which was getting him to true the likeness of Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler, M.P., he obtained the portrait in question, which was also pawned. In cross•exemination this witness said he did not know whethar he gave the portrait to the prisoner or his son. The prisoner was Acquitted. A third indictment was then gone into for stealing a portrait valued at 51., the property of Lord Sandys. This case was also enveloped in the same mystery An application for the same purpose as above stated was made, the prisoner introducing himself by letter; this was last year; and when the prisoner was taLzen into custoo, among the duplicates found on him was one relating to the portrait (an oil painting) in ques tion ; but how it had found its way from his Lord ship's mansion in Curxon-street, May-fair, to the pawnbroksr's could not be unravelled, no one recol lecting its being given to the prisoner. An Acquittal was taken in this case. Inspector A Cumming said there were about fifty more cases against him if the parties would have pro. wilted. The prisoner had carried on the game :for some years in all parts of the country, and had de frauded hundreds, the value of the portraits being some thousands, and persons so defrauded had sent up money to redeem their portraits. William Warley, 39, tinplateworker, was ludic led for feloniously wounding Nathan Defries, with in tent, &c. Mr. Ballantine prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock fended. The prosecutor, a gas engineer and dry meter maker, stated that in June last prisoner worked for two days in his shop, for which he demanded pay ment. Prosecutor referred him to his cashier, telling him that his pay-day was Friday. On Tuesday, the 6th of July, prisoner went to the counting-house of the factory in Diana-place, and said he had come f or his money. Witness said that be knew nothing of it, and rang the bell for his foreman, whom be asked if anything was due. The foreman said there was not, but by their rules the prisoner owed them money for spoiling some work. The foreman then went away, leaving prisoner, who said, " You don't mean to p.;ty me? Then, I'll pay you," and immediately took a mallet from his side pocket, and, brandishing it 'to take a sure aim, struck him with all his force on the head and ran away. Witness called " Murder," an d tried to follow, but the blood spirted like a fountain from the wound, a fearful one just above the left ea.r, and prosecutor fainted. When he recovered he wis at the doctor's, and the prisoner was in the hands pf the police. It further appeared that the same morning the pri soner had threatened to do for the prosecutor if h e did not pay him. The foreman had heard his mas - ter's cries, and ran after the prisoner, w ho was running away as fast as he could. When in the hands of the police he said he was sorry for what he had done. On behalf of the prisoner it was stated thatd had a he had an always been a quiet, well-behaved man , wife and family. The jury found him Guilty, recommending him to mercy. He was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. In the course of the day true hills wore foun(il against Lord Frankfort and Mary Taylor for misde meanour, and, upon the applicat ion of Mr. Giffard, 2. warrant was issued for the woman, who it was saki had absconded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HO USE. Mr. H. Sewell, of the Mansion-house, who ote Sunday last, in consequence of instructions which he hed received from the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnis, accompanied to Liverpool the emigrants who , complained of the delay in the sailing of the City of Lincoln, bound for Port Philip, for the purpose of making satisfactory arrangements for their departure, reported to his Lordship upon the subject. He had, he said, the satisfaction to state that the vessel had, since the reported insolvency of the former holder, fallen into the hands of Mr. Bates, a man of respect ability, who not only released her from her embar rassments, hut paid the greatest attention to the com forts of the poor passengers ; and that Lieutenant Pryor, of the Government Emigration Office of Li verpool, had testified to the excellent condition of the articles of food which came under his supervision officially in the ship. Ile had promised to convey to his Lordship the emigrants' warm expression of gra titude for the prompt and effective measures adopted by the Lord Mayor and Alderman Finnic to obtain for them reparation for the delay, and security as to their proper accommodation during their voyage. They had given three cheers for the City magistrates when he was leaving the vessel, which was to sail at twelve o'clock on Wednesday (yesterday). Mr. Sewell also said he was gratified in stating that the Prince Alfred emigrant vessel, concerning the delay of which complaint bad been also made at the Man sion -house, had gone through the Downs, and that all the passengers on board had been amply accommo dated and provided for. The Loup MAYOU said that he and his. brother alderman felt the most sincere gratification in car rying out the object of the Emigration Commission ers to the fullest extent. The claims upon the ener getic exertions of the magistracy had increased in proportion to the numerous departures to foreign countries, and the public might rely upon the strictly impartial performance of the duties of the alderman at a time when more than usual vigila ce was ne cessary. Edward Wilson, a well-dressed fellow, was charged with stealing three tumblers, a salt cellar, and a spoon, in an eating-house in Bow-lane. The prisoner dined in the house, and after hayin g remained there between two and three hours, was walking out, when the waitress, who had recollected him fr o m a former visit which p roved un profitable to her, stopped him, and asked him to li g ht en his burden, he did in a moment , a t the sam e time begging pardon for the mistake. The p risoner ha d in his pocket nt a couple of shoe-brushes , which he had in the morn ing stolen from ano ther house. He 'was forthwith sentenced to imprisonme and hard labour for two months. The Loup navou said he had received a commu lts nication from the cha p lain to the Gi our-street it Compter, which , as rel ate d to a refor me d cr i m i n al, he thought could not he announced in than the j us tice -room from which t a better place e reclaimed per' 19. 1852 son had been sent to the extreme tribunal. I❑ his Lordship's opinion the chaplain's humanity had fixed upon a case possessing strong claims upon those who had power as well as vviil to do good. It was as fol lows :—The mother of a reformed criminal Vi a 3 anxious to get out to America to join her son. The boy was trained to crime by his own father, who was convicted in the same case. At the close of his im prisonment the unfortunate boy was sent to a refuge, and after some months probation cent out to America by Lord Shaftesbury, assisted by the Sheriff's fund. That tock place in April, 1850. Since that time he has gone well, and is now, to use the chaplain's lan • guage, « I believe an upright and conscientious man. He has written to say that, if his mother can be sent out, and also a brother who is imbecile and unable to earn a living, he will provide for them both. His mother has herself always been a respectable woman, but now is reduced to earn a precarious subsistence by waistcoat making, and is a widow in her 58th year, her husband having died in prison." To the correctness of the statement the chaplain expressed his great willingness to bear testimony, upon application at the Giltapur-street Compter or the Mansion-house.

THE LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER REGION Among the . meaatires LlGcessCry to devel o p fully the rest:Anus ot . the Late Superior mineral region , is ne v. , hicta requires tie aid et On Government, and h whic presents strong claims to riven:able consideration .° alit e° to the . construction of a ship cana l around the falls of the St. Mary, or Saul, St. Marie, as it is more e , eintnonly known. 'lite St. Mary's river is the outlet for tile waters of Lake Superior , a nd connects that with the great chain et boundary of our country. The river is navigable one the lakes whieh form the northern rapid:, which extend for a distance of half a mile y These rapids interrupt navigation, the supplies for the Lake Superior regio, as well as the products of that region, most be unladen, transported and in n consequence ell around the rapids, and re-shipped, of course at much taut this and great inconvenience. It is to do away evil, and to make the narigiVion continuous, that. aid is Liked of the Crogernment. The topographY 9i the country is favourable for the construction of a ship canal, which need not exceed One mile in length. It 16 believed that the tolls derived from the canal would ultimately amply compensate the Government for the outlay which would be rtquired. This has proved to be the . case with the Louisville canal, and, although the. navigation through the proposed canal would Dot . ot course be so great as on the Ohio, it must of necessity_ ultimately bog.tome very large. The mineral resurce.! of Like Superior urn rich in the extreme. The producitott of copper is only limited by the means of transportation, and iron and other minerals are found in abundance. The copper ore is of the richest quality, yielding, wh smelted, from 60 to 70 per cent. of the pure nietel• T he , n iron ore is also of the best quality, and the productio_t is much greater than has been generally would be good policy on the part of the Goveruni.ent 1 aid in developing the resources of a region trialeb will add so much to the wealth of the country. . 11 . 9 .1 in which canal around the St. Mary's is an undertaking the whole country is more or less interested.

A project has been started for the erection of a CrYs t l i _ Palace in Bath. An elevation and sections of tbe h9 11u ,.. ing were exhibited at the last meeting of the Botcut_ tural Society; and we have since been favourer.lvil.llll2:l private inspection of them by the originator, ' l° • Peacock, architect, of this city. The site proposed° the Sydney Gardens; the eastern side of the open sPa c . : has been chosen with the especial view of preseroe.r9 the noble central avenue. The building, like t h e orr ginal Crystal Palace, consists of a nave and transePri; the nave is 144 feet long and 48 feet wide, and the S i ; sept is 96 feet long, 48 feet wide, and 70 feet high. dAn outside is supported by ornamental iron buttresses, - _ several improvements are introduced in the construct tion. Such a building wculd undoubtedly be s great addition to the amusements of the city, forming, as it might in the summer, the scene of horticultural slur, other exhibitions, and in winter a promenade and 11 1 A den. We need scarcely add, that tbe formation 0 ~... winter garden is a desideratum in a city which is tag r sort . of veletudinarians. The cost of th© bailding oi l estimated at 6,0001.; and it is proposed to form a c ° 5 1, many, and to raise the amount in 1,200 shares CI a each. There is this recommendation of the affair 110 , A speculation, that if the returns from the building 51137 not he remunerative, it might easily be removed and nod for a palm house or other purpose. We understa _. that Messrs. Fox end Henderson ,hare agreed to erf k v ; the building, and render it fit for use, in twel ve wEe eee trona the day of its commencement; and be beieve. may add that there is much probability ef th e desig al being accomplished. Mr. Peacock conteniplates severa... works in connexion with the building, such as the c o r a . doe of fountains in front of Sydney .Elotel; the f° , l' d be tion of a museum, to which the Gothic Hall vioa• „ ar e appropriated, and generally the renovation of tbosc e d 61MS.

William Avis, of High-street, St. Giles's, under taker, appeared to an adjourned summons, charging him with having buried an infant, "for which no certificate had been duly made and delivered" to the registrar, as required by the 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 86, sec. 27. The facts proved at the former examination were —the birth of the infant on the 2d of June, and its death on the sth; the delivery of the corpse to the defendant, who undertook to supply a coffin and bury it for 33., which was paid to him for that purpose by the grandmother (who also stated that she supplied him with the requisite medical certificate) ; and finally, the discovery that the child had never been buried at all, which was the defendant's answer to the charge. The case was adjourned for the attendance of the medical gentleman who was said to have furnished the certificate, and notice was given to the defendant in the meantime to produce it. Mr. F. Hatton, solicitor, now appeared for the re gistrar, to support the charge. Mr. G. W. New, assistant surgeon to St. Giles's workhouse, deposed to having attended the infant's mother during her confinement. After the death of the child, which only lived two dun, witness gave the grandmother a proper certificate for delivery to the district registrar, and he believed it was taken by her to the defendant. Mr. Duncombe, the defendant's solicitor, on being asked if he produced the certificate, declined to admit the service of the notice to produce. Formal proof was then given of the service of the notice by Mr. Hatton's clerk, the previous evening. Mr. Duncombe—We don't produce it. The grandmother was then re-examined. She stated that she delivered the certificate to the de fendant's daughter, who was acting as agent for him in the shop. The age of the child, the cause of its death, with the name and address of the parents, were inserted in the certificate. On every occasion when witness had called on the defendant respecting the baby she was assured that " it was all right." Mr. Duncombe—Am I to answer the charge set forth in the summons ? Mr. HENRY—Yes, certainly. Mr. Duncombe—We are cliarged in the words of the Act with incurring certain penalties by burying a child without a certificate. You have it in evidence that it has never been buried at all. Mr. HENRY—I have well considered this case since it was adjourned last week, and I am now of opinion that the defendant is liable to be convicted under the Act. I certainly had a different impression at one time, but everything turns upon the meaning which is,to be attached to the word " bury." If we regard it exclusively as implying an interment, doubtless there would be some difficulty in showing the lia bility of the defendant, but the word admits of a wider definition. If you look to Dr. Johnson's dic tionary you will see that the word " bury" is de scribed as signifying "to put in a grave, to hide, or to conceal." Now, it is quite clear to my mind that there was in this case a concealment of the body from the 7th of June, when it was delivered to the de fendant, to be buried, until the 10th of August, when the officers found the body in the coal vault of Mr. Avis's house. Mr. Duncombe, interrupting his Worship, hoped be should be permitted to argue this point. Mr. HENRY—That is quite irregular. Mr. Duncombe having contended that no opportu nity had been given him to discuss the point, was allowed to proceed. He was quite sure that the Legisla ture never contemplated a question of this kind. The Act says—" any person who shall bury, or perform any funeral or religious service for the burial of any dead body for which no certificate shall have been duly made and delivered," &c., shall be liable to cer tain penalties. Now, admitting his Worship's inter pretation of the word " bury," where could the line of demarcation be drawn ? One moment's conceal ment of a body in any shop, charnel-house, or hospi tal, would make the parties liable ; and it was a com mon thing to have bodies sent to undertakers or other people's houses to be kept a few days before inter ment. The word " concealment" was never used in the Act; but even if it had been contemplated, what concealment was there in this case ? The defendant never hid or secreted the body. It was well known to all his establishment and to others that the child was in his cellar, which had never been kept locked, but was accessible to all. The fact was, the grand mother had given Mr. Avis to understand that it was a stillborn child. Otherwise the burial would have cost at least 123. Then, as to the certificate, he de nied having received it, and there was no proof of its delivery to him, although the grandmother stated that she had left it at the shop in the hands of the de fendant's daughter —a mere child. He had no certi ficate, and he did not know the address of the parents : and even if he had known where to find them, it was not incumbent on him to hunt for the certificate, which, according to the Act, ought to have been delivered to him. The child had not been un fairly disposed of or spirited away, or concealed ; and the conduct of Mr. Avis was praiseworthy in compa rison with the obvious neglect of the registrar, who had never registered its birth even, but now came into court for half the penalties, to which the Act entitled him. Mr. HENRY—He is not allowed any portion of the penalty under the Police Act, which overrides the other. Mr. Duncombe hoped if his Worship still adhered to his opinion, that he would give the defendant an op portnnity of appealing against the decision. Mr. HENRY repeated that there had been a sufficient " burying" in the meaning given to the word by Dr. Johnson, who quoted gory good authority for his opinion. Besides, it was common to use the word in that sense. When we say " buried in oblivion," we do not think of interments. However, :this was the first time the question had been raised under the Act, and therefore he should be very glad to have it fully discussed at Quarter Sessions. If his view was not supported, he could only say that all the evils which it was the design of the Act to remedy must go unpunished. His Worship then inflicted a p enal ty of 6/. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON .REan A. COWES, Aim. 18.—Th , race for her Majesty's Cup had not concluded at the time of my last communication being dispatched, but, as eves anticipated by several per sons at an early period of the race, the Arrow succeeded iu recovering the position she appeared temporarily to have lost on going towards Ryde, for she passed the station-vessel at Cowes as under : h, m . see. Arrow 1 36 30 il 0 a t this re e The other two vessels appeared to be almost t point out of the r a ce, but on passing timed as follo w h. . secy were L a vrock 2 19 5 Aurora They then proceeded for the rest of the course to the vessel moored off Yarmouth ; hut, on reaching Egypt t h e Aurora struck her flag , and gave up all further s h a re in the contest , leaving the race virtually to the Arrow alone. The great difference in the time of the arrival cf the two last ve sse l s , it stated, is ac counted for in this way. On down towards the Nab Light, the Arrow throughout utkept to the north ward, whilst the Aurora and Lavrock were close under St. the island. When abreast of . Helen's, with a breeze flowing strong from the reach,north-east, she caught it up, and made a longrounded the Nab, whilst the two others, being under the island, went fast to the leeward. This difference of position will, therefore, °mount for the disparity between the arrival of the Arrow, and the Aurora and Lavrock. After passing Garnet Bay, the Arrow had it enti re l y h er own way, rounded he station at Yarmouth, and arrived off the starting vessel at Cowes as under:— h. in. sec. Arrow The Lavrock on h er return f rom Y,amouth experi enced the effects of a very heavy storm 0: thunder and lightning, with hail and rain; but on this passing over the wind dropped, and a perfect calm ensued. In this becalmed state she remained for two hours, during which she drifted back several miles with the tide. She eventually managed to pick up a light breeze and got back to Cowes at the time under mentioned: — b. m. sec. Lavrock ........... . The Arrow was therefore declared to be the winner of her Majesty's Cup, being the second gift of her Majesty won by Mr. Chamberlayne with that vessel this season. It will be remembered that she won the Queen's Cup at Ryde in the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta. beating the America clipper by several minutes, the first time she was e ver vanquished in an y, waters. It was nearly a " dead heat ' between her and the Mosquito, as the Arrow being the larger vessel, of the two, the extra length of her bowsprit alone gave her tho victory.
