QUARAN TINE. The following is the report of the Academy of Medi cine of Paris upon this much-agitated question:— " We have lately shown how urgent it was becoming that reforms should be introduced silo the existing sys tem of quarantine ; we demonstrated the evil conse quences arising out of the maintenance of rigorous measures, the only effect of which is to create difficulties in our relations with the East without insuring more security to public health. England and Austria have long since freed themselves from this excess of useless precaution, and experience has justified their temerity. Consequently, unless we choose wilfully to abandon the advantages of commerce with the East, it is high time for us also to modify the rigour of our sanatory rules now enforced at Marseilles. " The experience of those two great nations is alone sufficient to show that the limits of the danger are much More circumscribed than one would suppose. This im portant question has, however, been submitted to the Academy of Medicine and the Academy of Sciences. Of these two learned bodies, the latter is more particularly charged with enlightening Government on all points where public health is in question, and has already made its report. That of the Academy of Medicine has just been delivered, and it does not appear favourable to the sanatory precautions actually taken in France. An opinion may be formed on this subject from the follow ing extract from it:— " This important document is the work of a commis • sion composed of Messrs. Adelon, Begin, Dubois (d'Amiens), Dupuis, Ferrus, Londe, Malier, Pariset, Poisenille, Royer-Collard, et Prus (reporter). The re port is divided into four parts:—The first refers to countries in which the plague has arisen or still arises spontaneously. The second !elates to its epidemic or sporadic character, and to the manner in which it pro pagates itself. The third treats of the transmissibility of the disease. In the fourth and last part, the object of the Commission was to inquire what is the common or exceptional time for the incubation of the plague. Then are introduced the applications that may be made to the question of quarantine. " What definition is to be given of the plague?—lt is a disease of the whole organisation, in which the nervous and lymphatic systems, as well as that of circulation, are principallyaffected, and which is commonly characterised externally by buboes, carbuncles, and petechim. From the numerous documents consulted by M. Prus, the plague thus defined has arisen spontaneously at different times, not only in Egypt, Syria, and Turkey, but also in a great number of other parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. At the present moment it is almost exclusively from Egypt that we have to fear the importation of that disease. But if in the view of health we compare the different points of the globe acknowledged to give birth to the plague, we are amazed to see in Egypt, in spite of its fine climate, a miserable population inhabiting villages composed of filthy huts, unfit for human beings, living on spoiled seeds, unsound meat, and putrid fish ; we are surprised to see even the towns—even Cairo—encum bered with cemeteries, and composed of houses built ou sepulchral caves, where dead bodies lie mouldering. The same circumstances are to be met with at Erzeroum, a large town, having 50,000 inhabitants, built in a penin sula formed by the two northern sources of the Eu phrates. This city, where the plague arises spon taneously, is traversed by filthy streets; dead animals lie in them unheeded ; every description of filth is thrown into them ; the butchers kill animals in these streets, which are, in short, as unhealthy as they can possibly be. The population of it are, generally speaking, very poor. " The same poverty is to be met with likewise on the banks of the Danube, and the want of rapidity in the curreijt of that river produces the same effects as do marshes. On its banks the diseases, which are frequent in all seasons, frequently assume, after hot weather, a remarkably serious aspect. In the autumn of almost every year very dangerous intermittent fevers appear, and are soon followed by the plague, which is generally sporadic, but which in some years assumes the epidemic form. It is thus ascertained that in all countries where this disease has been observed to be spontaneous, it may reasonably be considered as arising from deter mined causes acting on a great portion of the population; these causes are, living on a marshy soil near the Medi terranean sea, near certain rivers—the Nile, the Eu phrates, or the Danube ; living in houses that are low, not well ventilated, and where there exists supera bundant accumulation of inhabitants ; hot and damp air ; the action of animal and vegetable substances in a state of decomposition ; and, lastly, great moral and bodily misery. " All these generating causes being united every year in Lower Egypt, the disease is endemic in that country, where it is observed to assume the sporadic form every year, and the epidemic about every ten years. Besides, if we consult history, we shall find that during the reign of the last of the Pharaohs, during the 194 years of the occup a ti on o f E gypt b y the Persians, the 301 years during which lasted the dominion of Alexander, the dynasty of Ptolemus, and a great por tion of that of Rome, Egypt was free from the plague. This absence of any epidemic for the long space of time during which good administration and the sanitory police of the country conquered the producing causes of the plague, justifies the expectation that the same means will be followed by the same results. " Epidemics of the plague have appeared in Syria, in Turkey, in the regencies of Tripoli and Tunis, in Mo rocco and Algiers. Algiers being excepted, it may be said that these countries having remained in the same state in which they were when the plague broke out, there is no reason for thinking that similar epidemics may not do so again. Algiers forms an exception, be cause the Arabs and the Kabies living, the first under tents, the second in abodes placed on the tops or sides of mountains, cannot give birth to the disease ; and also because that several marshy parts of that country have been made more healthy, and the truly remarkable improvements introduced into the construction and police of the small number of existing towns there seems to be a sufficient security against spontaneous epidemics of the plague. From this statement (which is a summary of the first part of the work of the com mission), we may draw this important conclusion—that the progress of civilisation and a constant and general application of the laws of hygiene can alone furnish us with the means of preventing the outbreak of sponta neous plague. Let us now pass on to the second part. " Is the plague an epidemic disease, according to the sense of this word ? " A disease is epidemic when, in a given time, it at tacks a great number of persons. Epidemic diseases present characters by which they may be distinguished from those that are not so. 1. There is a special march in their progress. Three periods are generally admitted —the commencing, the confirmed, and the declining or ending period. These often display neither the same symptoms, the same alterations, nor the same gravity. 2. During the reign of an epidemic disease other dis tempers are less frequent, and bear the stamp of the predominant affection. 3. Whilst an epidemic disease is raging, it seldom occurs that the persons who retain their health do not feel, more or less, the general in fluence. 4. Epidemic diseases often return and disap pear in the same season, and last generally the same length of time. 5. An epidemic disease is often pre ceded by other affections, offering various degrees of gravity, which are more or less general, and seem as it were its precursors. " All these characters having been observed in the plauge when it has raged with violence in Africa, Asia, and Europe, it ought, under these circumstances, to be considered as an epidemic disease. But sometimes, in countries where the plague arises spontaneously, it attacks a small number of separate individuals; it is then termed sporadic, and is wanting in the characters belonging to epidemic diseases. " The plague, the influence of those labouring under the disease being put aside, is propagated in the same manner as the generality of epidemic diseases—that is to say, by the action of general causes. " After this follows, in the third part, an inquiry into the important but difficult question of the transmissibility of the plague, both within and without the epidemic focus. "Is the plague transmissible by inoculation? Is it transmissible in and out of the focus of the epidemic by immediate contact of those that are infected, by that of their garments, of goods, and by the miasmata exhale d by the persons infected, and which are conveyed by the air? " The following are the answers to all these questions, such as they flow, with so much order and lucidity, from the conscientious and profound discussion established in M. T'rus's report. " The inoculation of blood drawn from the vein of an infected person, or the pus taken from a bubo, only gave equivocal results; the same attempt made with serosity taken from the plycterim of a carbuncle of the same na ture, always failed to give the plague. It is consequently not proved that the plague can be transmitted by inocu lation, even within the focus of the epidemic. " A severe and attentive examination of the facts of which medical science is posssessed, establishes, on one hand, that in the Ifocus of the epidemic the immediate contact of infected persons by thousands proved to have no ill effect on those that were exposed to it in the open air or in well ventilated places; on the other hand, that the possibility of disease bein g t ransm itt e d by the simple contact of persons infected is not demonstrated by any rigorous observation. --"" A great number of facts prove that clothes baying belonged to infected persons did not communicate the plague to those who made use of them without any pre vious purification in a country actually or recently sub mitted to a pestilential constitution. The facts which s eem to have offered a contrary solution, can only be come of any value by being confirmed by new observa tions made without the epidemic focuses, far from those of miasmatic infection, and from countries where the pest is endemic. "The transmissibility cf the plague by goods, in coon _ trieswhere the distemper is endemic or epidemic, is by no means proved. "Within the focus of the epidemic, the plague is trans missible by means of the miasmata arising from infected persons. " The pest is indubitably transmissible without the epidemic focuses, in ships at sea, or in the lazarettoes of Europe. "Nothing proves that the plague is transmissibls without the epidemic focus by the immediate contact of those who are infected. "It is not established that the pest is transmissible out of the epidemic focus by clothes that have been used by persons infected. "It is in no manner certain that goods can convey the plague out of the epidemic focus. " The classification existing in our lazarettoes for ob• jects liable and not liable is not grounded on any facts •r experiments worthy of credit. The investigation into the proper means of disin fecting clothes and goods has not yet been achieved. To make it rational it would be necessary that it should be preceded by the proof that these objects can be impreg nated with the principle of the plague. " Tile plague may be conveyed out of the epidemic f ocu ses by miasmatic infection—that is to say, by air obvious, from well-known facts, that at a distance from countries where the pest is endemic, and out of the fo cuses of infection, the distemper never broke out among persons that had been exposed to its action, after they had been isolated for eight days. " The small number of facts seeming to depart from this rule are all liable to different interpretation. "This extract, on account of the limits within which we are forced to keep, cmnot give an idea of the extent of the work from which it emanates, but it is sufficient to show that among the numerous questions the Com mission had to examine, it has met with a certain number to which it has been able to give a clear and precise answer, pointing out as the object of future in vestigations, those questions to which the want of posi tive observations has prevented a solution being given. " In order to complete this laborious task, the Com mission thought proper to give a summary of the prin cipal applications of the scientific results it has come to. The Commission only gave advice and expressed desires; Government alone has the right to decide over them, and bring them to execution. _ " The S - anitory measures which are to insure security to France may be reduced to five heads, viz.:— " 1. The indication of the countries from which we may fear importation of the plague. " 2. The precautions to be taken on board of ships sailing for France from suspected countries. " 3. The rules to be observed during the voyage. "4. The precautions to be taken on reaching a French port " 5. The measures to be adopted should the plague break out in a French town. " If we did not want space we would lay before our readers the regulations made by the authorities of Mar- seilles. " These regulations having been dictated under the influence of exaggerated fear, and a total ignorance of the limits of the danger, are stamped in several points with a character of barbarism which, as well as the re mainder of them, demand an early reform. "The fundamental idea which prevails through the regulations proposed by the Commission, consists in comprehending in the quarantine the time of the voyage, and imposing such measures as may offer the necessary security to the health of the persons on board during all the time elapsed since the moment of the ship's sailing. "But if any persons suffering with the plague are received in the lazarettoes, how are they to be treated? Are they to be, according to the present regulations, shut up in a solitary room, examined at a distance of six feet through bars, turned about with hooks, or their tisanes to be conveyed to them on the extremity of a long board ? Is it necessary, when a bubo requires opening, that the surgeon should use long-heeled instru ments, or is a knife only to be thrown to him in order that he may operate on himself ? "Person; infected by this distemper have a right to all the assistance that civilisation, science, and art can offer ; once admitted in the French lazarettoes, they are to receive all the relief and attendance that are given to common patients in the bast-established hospitals. " The buildings in which they are to be received must be so disposed as to offer the patients and those that are to attendon them the best possible hygiene conditions, and above all an easy and complete ventilation. • " Other regulations that cannot fail to create indigna • Lion, are those prescribed in ease the plague should break out in a French town or only in a few houses. They consist in enclosing the population within acertain space, and by thus doing expose them to the general epidemic causes when they exist, and at all events laying them open to the influence of pestilential infection, to the erea - Lion of which they cannot fail concurring. "The Commission proposes a line of conduct entirely opposed to the measures now taken : they are to be re placed by means simple and of easy execution, which have already received the sanction of experience. " If the plague should break out in a house, the pa tient is to be removed to some distant and well-ventilated place, where he may receive all necessary attendance. All the inhabitants of the house must repair to some spot pointed ;out by the authorities, and placed under the inspection of a medical man ; the house, after being ventilated, purified, and well cleaned out, must remain empty for a month at least. " Should the distemper break out in several houses the same line of conduct must be adopted for each. " If a whole town were invaded by a pestilential epi demic the same measures should be resorted to on a larger scale with the utmost severity, but the prin_tiple should not be altered. " Having thus fulfilled its duties by establishing the medical facts which are to be the groundwork of a reform, the Commission has ended its task by drawing up a summary of the principal applications which are to be made of the scientific results to which it has come. " It has not failed remarking, that by leaving to the Iniendance Sanitaire of the various places the faculty of ascribing the business of their members, as well as the practical details in the application of the doctrines hitherto adopted, the central authority has in reality intrusted to these persons all the active part of the sanitory police, and has submitted to their arbitrary authority all ships, passengers, and goods. " The question on the means to be employed by the country, in order to preserve itself from the plague, is obviously a general one. There can be no doubt as to the propriety of consulting the towns which are the most exposed to the introduction of the disease; their experi ence and traditions are not to be overlooked; but it is the central authorities, enlightened by the opinions of the most competent men, that must prescribe under the form of ordinances, regulations, or instructions, not only the general principles, but even the smallest details of the sanitory regulations." SALE OF THE EFFECTS OF THE LATE MR. B. B. HAYDON.—On Wednesday the sale of the effects of the late Mr. Haydon was commenced on the premises recently occupied by him in Barford-place, Edgware-road, Mr. Nutter being the auctioneer. The sale yesterday consisted principally of the household furniture and the library of the unfortunate gentleman, and caused the attendance of a numerous com pany. Of the 188 lots sold yesterday, not one was deserving of especial notice, but many of the books were interspersed with manuscript notes by Mr. Haydon, and consequently their value was enhanced. In addition to the furniture and books there was a large number of engravings from Ilaydon's paintings of the Duke of Wellington, Napoleon, Sir Walter Scott, the " Mock Election," " Waiting for the Times," &c., and a few sketches. The paintings, busts, specimens of the Elgin marbles, principal sketches, &c., are reserved for sale this day. FIRE IN OSBORN-STREET, WHITECHAPEL.—Wed nesday, between five and sit o'clock, a fire broke out in the great pile of buildings in the occupation of Messrs. Orlando Jones and Co., starch manufacturers, in Osborn-street, White chapel. it appears that during the time that the stock was drying in the stove (a building several stories in height) it became overheated, and in a very short time seven or eight of the racks at the lower part became ignited. This tire, however, was got under by the time the engines arrived, without serinus damage. The firm is insured in the Atlas and other offiata. ABLY HARVEST.—As an instance of the forwardness of the harvest this year, we may mention that all the wheat fand oats (about forty Lancashire acres), on the Barlow Farm, occupied by Mr. Samn - 4 Dean, were cut in the month of July, an occurrence, we believe, perfectly unprecedented in this part of the country.-1U andiester Guardian [ADVERTISEMENT.] MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS.

" From the various facts exposed in the chapter re lating to the transmissibility of the pest, it may be in ferred that infected persons, by vitiating the air of /o caliti, s they inhabit, can create focuses of infection liable to transmit the distemper. " These focuses may remain after the persons infected have been removed. " When once formed by the presence in a ship of one or a greater number of infected persons, the focuses of infection are liable to be carried great distances. " Patients labouring under the sporadic plague do not appear to have the power of creating focuses of infection sufficiently active to enable them to transmit the dis temper. " The degree of transmissibility of the pest varies ac cording to the intensity of the epidemic, according to the period it is in, and finally to the organic dispositions of Individuals exposed to the action of the pestilential effluvia. " If it is not proved that the existence of a pestilential constitution in a country where the plague has been in]- ; ported be necessary to its transmission and propagation, it seems certain, however, that it can make no great ravages without finding in the climate, in the atmosphere, and among the inhabitants, favourable conditions to its increasing. " The fourth and last part of the report refers to the time of incubation of the pest. This is the name ap plied to the space of time during which the plague may remain concealed in an infected person previous to its becoming manifested by evident symptoms. " The time of incubation of the plague is very variable; it depends on the period of the epidemic, and likewise on other powerful influences. These variations, however, are restricted within certain limits. It is the knowledge of these that is of importance, for it is by them that the duration of quarantines is to be logically ruled. "It has been observed that when a pestilential epi demic commences in a town, the incubation is excessively short. Hence those cases of plague which prove mortal in a few hours. "In the second period of the epidemic, the duration of the incubation is from three to five days. "It is the same in the third. "If it be true that a fixed and absolute limit cannot be ascribed to the time of incubation, it seems, however, LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT, Auguet 6. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) EASTON V. HEDGES. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that he could not tell which way they had decided, but it was right to say that the plaintiff's counsel had the right of reply. The jury said they were in favour of the defendant. The plaintiff's COUNSEL contended that the goods had been delivered at the usual place, and to men who had been in the service of defendant; and that the plaintiff was not respon sible for the fr •uds of the servants of other persons. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the fair and real question was— if Peake was in the service of the defendant, and plaintiff had been in the habit of supplying him as usual, without having had notice not to do so, then would he be entitled to a verdict; but if he had notice, of course he would not. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERGEANTS' INN, August 5. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) COMMITTAL GI , MR. RICHARD DUNN, TDB BARRISTER, TO NENVGATE. _ _ _ Mr. Richard Dunn, the barrister, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Shackell, and Sergeants Langley and Shaw, of the detective police, before the Lord Chief Baron at chambers, on a warrant which had had been issued by Mr. Justice Patteson. It will be recollected that in the course of the session held at the Central Criminal Court in June last, Miss Burdett Coutts and some of the other partners of the banking-house of Coutts and Co. preferred a bill befure the grand jury against Mr. Richard Dunn, for wilful and corrupt perjury, the defendant having gone and attempted to sue out a fiat of bankruptcy before Mr. Commissioner llolroyd against Miss Burdett Coutts, alleging that she had given him the authority to draw on the banking-house for 100,000/., and that she had committed an act of bankruptcy. After a true bill had been found, an application was made to Mr. Justice Patteson for a warrant for the appre hension of the defendant, which was granted; five days after the defendant applied for a writ of certiorari, to remove the indictment from the Central Criminal Court to the Queen's Bench, which was ultimately granted, the de fendant being directed to enter into his own recognisance of 200/. and two housekeepers in 601. each. Some weeks, however, elapsing, and Mr. R. Dunn not complying with the terms, the warrant was given to Inspector Shackell to execute, and on Tuesday evening Shackell, with the aid of Langley and Shaw, succeeding in taking the defendant into custody, at his residence, in New-street, Covent-garden. At first the learned gentleman exhibited a great deal of re sistance, threatening to blow the officers' brains out, but after a little while he became more quiet, and walked with them to the Bow-street station of police, where he was locked up for the night, and from whence he was removed to Sergeants' Inn. Upon the case being called on before his Lordship, Mr. JARMIN, from the office of a Mr. Humphreys, the soli citor to the prosecution, said he had to apply to his Lordship to commit Mr. Richard Dunn to Newgate, for not having complied with the terms of the order of Mr. Justice Patte son, that of attempting to enter into bail without giving the necessary notice to the prosecutor. Mr. Dunn said that he was not bound to give any notice of bail, as the writ of certiorari completely superseded the warrant, and he then proceeded at great length to re-argue the case, and said he was prepared, by affidavit, to support the facts. He would now read the affidavit. The LORD CHIEF BARON declined to hear the affidavit read. The simple question before him was his non-compliance with the writ and the warrant, and he had no other alternative but to commit the defendant if the prosecutor pressed it. Mr. JARMAN said that every lenity had been exercisd to wards Mr. Dunn, but as it appeared that he was trying to take advantage of their forbearance, it was necessary to en force the warrant. Mr. Dunn denied taking any advantage. The fact was, everything that could be done to prosecute him was daily c died into action ; that whenever he got bail the prosecutor took care to alarm them, and the consequence wag, he had been prevented from obtaining bail ; and as the 8 and 9 W. 111., cap. 33, declared that in all cases of writs of certiorari there was no occasion to give notice of bail, he was determined to act upon his right. The LORD CIIIEF BARON doubted the construction of the clause as put upon it by Mr. Dunn; but said he would send for the Clerk of the Crown Office, and consult him on the point. _ _ The further proceedings were accordingly adjourned for the attendance of the Clerk of the Crown Office, and when the case was again called on, The LORD CHIEF BARON said that he found that Mr. Dunn was right, and if he had his bail in attendance he would take the required recognisances at once. Mr. Hetherington, a member of the Irish bar, of South place, South-square, Gray's Inn, then presented himself as one of the bail for Mr. Dunn. Mr. JARMAN cross-examined the Learned Gentleman as to the length of his residence at the above place, which ap peared to be about four months. Mr. Dunn said that was sufficient. Mr. JARMAN contended that the law required that the person who offered himself as bail should have resided for twelve months, and paid the parochial and assessed taxes. The Loan CHIEF 13ArtoN overruled the objection, and said he should accept Mr. Hetherington as one of the bail. Mr. Kempler, of the Borough, then offered himself, and was objected to on the ground that he was nut a house keeper. The LORD CHIEF BARON said the objection was fatal. Mr. Dunn then wanted to have his own recognisances in creased from 2001. to 500/, and to have but one surety. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he could not alter the terms which had been laid down ; and if the application was pressed. he had no alternative but to convict. Mr. JARMAN said he was instructed to press for the com mittal of Mr. Dunn. The LORD CHIEF BARON then signed the warrant for Mr. Dunn's committal, saying, at the same time, if in case he could get another surety by to-morrow, he would take his bail, and send down his discharge. Mr. Dunn said that his committal was illegal, and he would not let the matter rest here. He was then handed over to the custody of the cfficers who had apprehended him, when he was conveyed to New - gate, and delivered into the custody of Mr. Cope, the go vernor. Mr. Dunn, while waiting to get his own recog nisances in the outer office, declared that he would get his case brought before the House of Commons, although he might not be more than a day in Newgate. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.— Guildford, Thursday, Aug. 6. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Special Jury.) COOKE V. WETHERELL, CLERK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. John Mynde Cooke, against the Rev. Charles Wetherell, his father-in-law, for criminal conversation with his wife. Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Mostyn Chambers, and Mr. E. James appeared for the plaintiff. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Lash were for the defendant. It will be remembered that this action was tried at the last summer assizes, at Croydon, when a verdict was re turned for the plaintiff, with 3,0001. damages ; but upon subsequent application to the Court, a new trial was ordered, which now came on to be disposed of. The proceedings appeared to create a great deal of interest, and the Court was crowded the whole day. Mr. Sergeant SHEE addressed the jury, and detailed in his novel, cloar, able and forcible manner, the cir cumstances of the disgusting and horrible case which he said it was his painful duty to have to lay before them. He then called the following witnesses : Mr. W. H. Meade examined by Mr. James—l have known the plaintiff for several years, and was present at his marriage with Mrs. Cooke at St. George's, Hano ver-square, on the 25th September, 1842. The marriage took place in presence of the father of the lady. About nine or ten days afterwards, I called upon the defendant in order to ascertain what liabilities the defendant had incurred by his marriage, and this was done in conse vence of a bill having been presented to the plaintiff, accepted by his wife. I saw the defendant and made the inquiry of him, and mentioned one bill of 550/., of which his daughter was the acceptor. The defendant said there was but this one bill, and that it would forth with be arranged. I saw the defendant a second time the same day, and he told me be had seen his solicitor since I was with him, and he should decline having any further communications with me upon the subject. In the beginning of October I went down to Byfield, ac companied by the plaintiff, and I there saw the di fen dant and his daughter. There was a difficulty about our admission to the meeting, and Mr. Cooke said he hail only come to demand to see his wife, and to take her away with him. He was eventually admitted, and I heard some conversation in a loud and angry tone be tween the plaintiff and the defendant, brit we all left, and by arrangement with Mrs. Cooke returned to Byfield on the following day, and it was fully arranged tnat Mrs. Cooke should accompany her husband back to town, and she did so on the following day. This was on the Sunday fortnight after the marriage had taken place. Mr. Cooke appeared very kind and affectionate to his wife. At that time he had only just come of age, and he h a d b een admitted and was practising as anat tor!ley. I know nothing of any liability incurred by the plaintiff except the bill I mentioned. Cross-examined—I am a bill discounter by profession. My offices are in Duke-st ree t. S t. Jamus's I have h a d money transactions with Mr..

Captain Gadsell and i b i u n no jr, Waddy signed the marriage register, I mysj The plaintiff is a hay and corn dealer in the Edgeware road, and the defendant is a horse dealer in the vicinity. The action was brought to recover the sum of 71. 9s. 6d. for hay, &c., sold to the defendant. The defendant pleaded the general issue. The plaintiff's ease was to the effect that the parties had been in the habit of dealing together for some years, and in November last year the account was settled between them, and the defendant said he was going out of town, but wished plaintiff to let his man have things as usual. Some goods were delivered at the stables as usual, and others to a man named Peake; but after the defendant's return it was dis covered that Peake had sold a portion of the hay, and a question arose as to whether he ought not to be given into custody, and a policeman was called in, but plaintiff refused to give him in charge. Peake was called,and swore he had been in the defendant's service for eight years, and had not been discharged. When defendant left town. in November, he gave witness a part of his week's wages, and witness from time to time sold hay and straw for his own support, as he received nothing from defendant. He had been jobbing about for one and another since, and occasionally for plaintiff. Plaintiff asked him to stay to give evidence, but he never said that he would prosecute him if he did not give evidence to " fix" the defendant. He got the hay from plaintiff on de fendant's account, but told the persons to whom he sold it that he got it in exchange for a horse. Mary Gunn, the mother of Peake, was called, and swore that she met defendant a few days ago, and he told her to tell her son to keep out of the way at the time of the trial, and she had better get some one to make him drunk. Mr. THOMAS, on the part of the defendant, called a witness named Lund, who swore that he took the premises of de fendant in December last, as he was going down on a railway contract, and that no horses were kept there of defendant's, nor had any hay or straw been delivered at the stables after then, although plaintiff's witnesses had sworn to the contrary. He had heard plaintiff say that Peake had committed a felony, and he had put Inspector Wiggins on him, and he would have him if he was above ground. It was further proved that the plaintiff had sent several times to the persons who had bought the hay, and required, of them to pay the difference between the price they bought it at and the fair price, thereby treating those parties as their creditors. The jury said they had made up their minds at least an hour before. fetched Miss''Wetherell in Mr. Cooke's brongliain to be taken to be married. Mr. Wetherell proposed to sell everything at Byfield and Eaton-place, and settle the proceeds on his daughter, and then go abroad and re side. I afterwards took possession of the house in Eton place, and when Mr. Wetherell endeavoured to move in, we refused to let him do so, and he remained outside for an hour or more. Mr. Waddy, Mr. Cooke, and my self went the day after this down to Byfield, but I swear it was not our intention also to take possession of the property there. I wished nothing of the kind. I did not see any one seize a poker, neither did I see Mrs. Cooke throw her arms round her husband's neck dur ing the altercation that took place at Byfield. Ido not know where Mr. Cooke is living now. His last resi dence was in Seymour-street Edgeware-road. Ido not know a Mr. Baynton. Re-examined—Mr. Waddy is a Parliamentary agent, and Mr. Gadsell is a captain in the army. At the time Mr. Wetherell agreed to dispose of the property in Lon don and at Byfield, it was stated that everything had been bought with Miss Wetherell's money, and it was in consequence of this statement that Mr. Cooke took pos session of the house and property in Eaton-place. Mr. Cooke did not owe five shillings beyond what be could pay at the time of his marriage, and all his embarrass ments had occurred since. The letters of the sth and Gth October, written by Mrs. Cooke to her husband were here put in and read. Mr. G. IL Corfield, examined by Sergeant SIIEE— I am an attorney, and acted in that capacity for Mr. Wetherell in 1842, as referree to the affairs of Mr. Cooke, and it was part of my duty to ascertain the liabilities of Mrs. Cooke previous to her marriage, and I found the amount to be from 1,500/. to 2,0001. I re member in particularr one acceptance of Miss Wetherell fur 550/., and the furniture in Eaton place had been seized as security for the payment of this bill. Mr. Wetherell and his daughter took up their residence at Mivart's Hotel, in Oct. of the year 1842, and Mr. Cooke endeavoured to see her, and I and Mr. Wetherell ar ranged that an interview should take place on the 22nd of November, and Mr. Cooke came about seven in the evening. He did not, however, see either Mr. Wetherell or his daughter, because the former objected to it. and he sent me down to pacify Mr. Cooke, and while I was gone he took his daughter away in a cab. Mr. Cooke was very much disappointed and excited at this proceed ing. Prior to this I had seen Mr. Wetherell near Gray's Inn. Mr. Cooke was with me, and when Mr. Wetherell saw him he ran away. I followed and over took him, and insisted upon his accompanying me to the chambers of a gentleman named Nesbit, to clear up something he had stated I had said respecting Mr. Cooke. I then told him that Mr. Cooke had come to me in a very excited state, and said that the defendant had said, that I had told Mivart that Cooke's wife was unchaste when he married her, and I asked the defend ant whether he had ever made any such statement, and the defendant admitted he had, and persist, cl in the statement of my having said so to Mivart. The witness corrected himself; and said this occurred ten days after the proceeding he had alluded to at Ali van's, and not before. He now proceeded with his evi dence. I insisted upon the defendant accompanying me to Mivart's, and after objecting for some time he agreed to do so, and two cabs were ordered, but when we ar rived at the hotel the defendant made his escape, and would not see Mr. Mivart. Another appointment was made, but the defendant did not come. During my connexion with Mr. Wetherell he frequently made use of strange expressions towards the plaintiff, and on the 28th of October, when at my office, after discussing different matters, he said he had heard a strange charac ter of Cooke, and asked if I knew him about town. I replied that I did not. He then said he had heard amongst other things that he was a man-whore, and that he drove about the parks for hire. Upon another occa sion, when the defendant was endeavouring to induce his daughter not to return to Mr. Cooke, he said amongst other things that if she went back to him he would dis ease her, and another time I was present when the de fendant made his daughter take an oath that she would never return to her husband. I thought he seemed to possess very great influence upon her, for whatever reso lutions she came to when alone, they were all upset the moment her father had been with her, but she generally seemed anxious to return and live with Mr. Cooke. Ne gotiations were at this time going on regarding the first nuptial settlement, and it was agreed by all parties that Mr. and Mrs. Cooke should live apart until the set a went was completed. I acted professionally for Mr. Wetherell, on the 25th November, and I then gave up all the papers to Mr. Nesbit. Cross-examined—l was acting in these matters as the attorney for Mrs. Cooke, and had not had any conversa tion with Mr. Cooke before. She was very anxious that such a settlement should be made as would have the ef fect of protecting her father from legal proceedings. When the defendant made his daughter take the oath that she would not live with her husband, I said, " Surely, you only wish this to be during your life." The oath was proposed ; but I cannot say positively whether it was taken or not. Mr. Wetherell all along appeared to have the greatest animosity and antipathy for the plaintiff. I once heard Mr. Wetherell say, that his daughter's life was in danger from Mr. Cooke, arid she repeated the statement ; but I cannot state the time when this occurred. I never heard from Mr. Cooke that he was born in 1822. Mrs. Cooke always appeared to me to be very fond of her husband. I should consider her good looking on an evening but not on a morning.- (Laughter.) She is well got up.—(Renewed laughter. By that expression I mean, she was always very we dressed. In answer to a suggestion from a juror, the witness said he declined 4 to state the reason why he declined to act any longer for Mrs. Cooke. He said it was in conse quence of an opinion he had formed. The juror —Weis it one of disgust ? Witness—l should rather not answer the question or give any further reason ; but I declined to act in con quence of an opinion I had formed founded upon parti cular facts. S , ?rgearit SHEE—Was there anything in the conduct of Mr. Wetherell towards his daughter, or in her cone dnct towards him, which induced you to decline to act any longer for the lady ? Witness—l would rather not state my reasons. I was acting professionally for the lady, and I do not think anything in the co n d uc t appeared to me that ther e ofl o st u eh g re h g f t eaa t tn o h te s r t s a ?n t e E tu i t , ei i *si n s g y: nlu See was a most extraordinary degree of intimacy between the father and the daughter, and that he had an extra ordinary influence over her. Baron PARKE--How old is the defendant ? Witness —I should think about sixty. Sergeant SHEE then put in a letter, without date, from the plaintiff's wife to her father, and the letter of the defendant to her, signed " The Wretch." They will be found in the copies of the correspondennee. Gordon, the clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, was then called, to prove, that upon an execution being served against the effects of the defendant, the letters that had been produced and a number of others, to tether with some envelopes, addressed to T. C. Mills, Esq., and a copy of the letters sent by the plaintiff's wife to her husband, were found in a box among his property. In cross-examination, the witness said that there were five or six hundred letters in the box. Some envelopes were a ldressed T. C. Mills, Esq., but he did not see any letter addressed to Miss Mills. Mr. Cooke was now living in Great Ormond-street. Before that, he lived in Seymour-street. Mrs. Baynton was the landlady of the house. He said he had not seen her present when the witnesses who were to be questioned were present ; but he would not swear that she had not been in campany with Mr. Cooke in the Queen's Bench Prison, He did not see Mrs. Baynton in Croydon upon the occasion of the last trial, and he had not seen her in Guildford since these assizes commenced. Some other letters were here put in and read. Mr. Baron PARKE observed that he did not see how those letters could, in strictness, be produced as evi dence. Sergeant CHANNELL said he did not object. He wished the documents to be read. The first nuptial settlement was then read. It com menced by reciting that a debt was due from the defen dant to his daughter amounting to 15,0001, and the defendant undertook to repay the amount by yearly in stalments of 5001.. the whole of which was placed at the disposal of Mrs. Cooke, and the plaintiff did not take any interest or advantage under the deed. At three o'clock the Court and jury adjourned for a few minutes to take some refreshment, and the trial was then proceeded with. Eleanor Williams, examined by Mr. JAMES—I am at present chambermaid at the Rummer Hotel, Bristol, and in 1843 I was in the same capacity at the Beaufort Arms, Chepstow, and I remember inquiries being made of me in June, 1845, relative to some parties who had come to the Beaufort Arms in August, 1843. I remem ber an old gentleman coming to the inn at Chepstow in that month. He was accompanied by a young lady ap parently about eight-and-twenty years old. There was nothing particular about the dress of the gentleman, but I noticed that he wore gold spectacles. I saw them both upon their arrival in the inn, and they engaged a bed room, a sitting-room, and a dressing-room. Two of the rooms were numbered 12 and 13. There was a large bed and a small bed in the bedrooms, and they selected the room which was usually occupied by a lady and gentleman. They stopped two nights in the hotel at Chepstow, and both occupied the same bed. When they went away from the hotel they left a box in the care of the boots, and I am not aware of anything else being left. I lsfc my situation at Chepstow to go to Bristol, in December, 1844. After the lady and gentleman left, some appli cation was made about a cloak and an umbrella, but I do not think the articles were found, and I do not know who made the inquiry respecting them. I was first asked whether I could identify this lady and gentleman in the summer of last year. Two gentleman came to the Rummer Hotel, at Brist. , l, aad I saw a portrait, in the bed-room, of one of them. 1 was taken to the Queen's Bench prison in June last year, and I there saw the gen tleman whom I had seen before at the Beaufort Arms with the young lady. lie had gold spectacle s on, arid I recognised him immediately. I afterwards saw the lady in the same pris , in. lam sure they are the parties who were at the 13,aufort Arms at Chepstow, and who slept together. I went back to my situation at Bristol, and in a short time the plaintiff, Mr. Cooke, and another gentleman, came to the Hummer Hotel, and it was on this occasioa that I found a portrait in their room. It was the portrait of a clergyman in his robes, and I believe it to be the one now produced. I had not seen the portrait before I recognised the gentleman in the Queen's Bench prison. I saw the same gentleman sitting in the Court at Croydon upon the last trial, and I pointed him on- Cross-examined—TlE , re was another chambermaid nt the Beaufort Arms when I first went there, and we shared the perquisites. She had them one week end had them the other. I emnot ha whether she had left the service in August, 1843. The i a ly an d gen tleman came to the in n i n a postchaise. I will no t swear that they did not come b y water. I will not swear either way, or that a waterman did not bring their luggage. I cannot say whether any other party came to the inn that day. No. 13 was the dressing-room, and 12 the bed-room. I cannot exactly say what number their Maine. room was, but I think it was No. 12. I have learned since that Mr. Cooke was one of the gentlemen who applied to me at the Rummer. He was accompanied by a lady, and they both occupied one room. The lady first spoke to me upon the subject of the lady and gen tleman coming to Chepstow. I don't think Mr. Cooke said anything to me upon the subject till the next morn ing. Mr. Pring is the landlord of the Rummer Hotel. I believe the lady said that they were in search of a gen tleman and lady, and that the gentleman was an elderly man, and that he stooped, wore spectacles, and had the appearancepp lreplied that of a clergyman,ed notbut I recollect cannot any such say whether i I r persons. I will swear that this did not occur in the presence of Mr. Pring. The gentleman did say to me, " Try what you can recollect by to-mor row." I went to London on the following day. I was alone. I went to 29, Seymour-street, where I saw Mrs. Baynton, the lady whom I had previously seen with Mr. Cooke at Bristol. I was taken to the Queen's Bench prison on the same day. I cannot swear whether I saw Mr. Cooke and Mrs. Baynton the next day, or whether they examined me. To the best of my belief, I cannot say. Mrs. Baynton gave me the money to pay my fare back to Bristol, and I was afterwards sent for a second time by Mrs. Baynton, and it was upon this occasion I was taken to the chapel of the prison, where I saw the defendant and his daughter. Mrs. Baynton paid my ex penses both on the first and second visits. I showed the portrait that was left in Mr. Cooke's room to the house keeper, and several other of the servants. I afterwards took the portrait with me to Seymour•street. Mrs. Baynton accompanied me to the last assizes in a cab. I saw Lee, the boots at the Rummer, at Mrs. Baynton's, in Seymour-street, but he did not stay till the trial. Ile was one of the persons to whom I had shown the por trait. When I was examined upon the last trial, I said that I had never seen a portrait, and I repeated the answer, although I was asked the question several times. I did not know what I was saying. I don't think I said a word about finding the portrait in the dressing-case. I have never said that the rooms occupied by the parties were Nos. 13 and 17. Re-examined—There was no other old gentleman and young lady stopping at the house at the time in question. I recoenised the gentleman again the moment I saw him in the Queen's Bench. A man named Screm miger was with me, but he did not point him out to me. I was taken ill, and fainted about the time. I was exa mined respecting the portrait. No one did show me the portrait. I found it myself. lam still in the same ser vice at Bristol. Mary Anne Hall—l am a married woman, and carry on the business of a washerwoman in Hill -street, Dorset square. In the early part of 1843 I was in the habit of washing for Mr. Wetherell and his daughter, and I noticed from the first that a portion of his linen had been washed with scented soap, and his shirts have been sent to me wet. I noticed similar appearances upon the linen of his daughter. The rest of the evidence of this witness was of a simi lar character, and may not be further all u d e d t o . Mr. Wm. Pitman, clerk to a stock-broker, proved that during the year 1841 he sold out 18,000/. standing in the name of Miss Wetherell, by direction of Mr. Wetherell. his daughter was present, and sanctioned the proceedings of each sale of stock. Mrs. Russell deposed, that she and her husband were in the service of Mr. Wetherell in April, 1843. They were engaged as general servants, and had the charge of the house in Eaton- place. They were in the habit of going backwards and forwards to Byfield. Mrs. Cooke's bed-room was on the first-floor, and her father's was next to it, and a dressing-room adjoining it. The witness then said, when I had been in the service a short time, not more than a week, I saw Mr. Wetherell come out of his daughter's bed room at half-past five o'clock in the morning, and he had nothing on but his dressing gown and slippers. I saw him come out two mornings running, and about the same time. The fir s t time I saw him he made a kind of stop or baulk ; but the second he did not appear to take any notice of me, I went into Mrs. Cooke's bed-room the first morning I had seen her father come from it, an d I found her setting at a table, with only a dressing-gown. On one occasion, when I looked at Mrs. Cooke's bed, I have no doubt that two persons had slept in it. My husband was assisting me to make the bed at this time, and I pointed his attention to it. I never' saw Mrs. Cooke's night dress in her bed-room, and it struck me as being a remarkable circumstance. I do not know where she put her night-dress. I never saw it except on her person. Mr. Wetherell always used to make his own bed, and his daughter gave me directions not to make it, as she said her father always did so him self. I never saw his bed, or the condition as though it had been slept in. I remember the de fendant and his daughter going away alone in August, and being absent about ten dais. I do not know where they went. On the previous June and July I had re marked that Mrs. Cooke appeared getting much stouter, and I had much difficulty in getting her dresses to meet, and I saw her altering two of them. She said to me, on one occasion, that if I could not fasten her dresses without tearing them that her papa should dress her. When she came back, after being absent about ten days, she seemed to be poorly, and was much thinner. I told her she leoked ill, and she said she had been ill, but when I said she ought to have a doctor, site replied that her papa was her doctor. The witness then proceeded to describe the appearance of some linen that was brought home by the defendant's daughter, upon her return with her father from their journey, and said that in her opinion it d -noted that a mi-carriage had taken place. She likewise said when Mr. Cooke was taken into cus tody, and the inquiry took place at the Queen-square Police-office, upon their return home she heard Mrs. Cooke say, that sooner than live with her husband again she would see him transported beyond the seas. Mr. R. G. Shute, a surgeon residing in Meek lenburgh square, deposed that he was in extensive practice as a surgeon and accoucheur, and he expressed an opinion that the appearances described by some of the witnesses denoted a miscarriage to have taken place, and could not be reasonably accounted for in any other manner in the case of a young healthy woman. In answer to questions from the Court, the witness said that some disorders of a character peculiar to fe males might produce somewhat similar results. Mr. Sells, another medical gentleman, gave a similar opinion as to the appearances described being the result of a miscarriage. James Russell, the husband of the former witness, de posed that in consequence of a communication made to him by the husband of the laundress, he was induced to pay particular attention to the conduct of the defendant and his daughter, as they thought there was something very wrong going on. After he had gone to bed, he re peatedly heard the doors of the bed-rooms of Mr. Wetherell and his daughter open and shut, and this hap pened at all hours of the night. The coachman (Revell) also used to watch, and he had seen him listening on the staircase. He once went into Mr. Wetherell's bed-room without knocking, and he found them both there, and Mrs. Cooke appeared very much confused, and her hair was hanging about her shoulders. She g e r . a f a n t d h e of he replied, his go going.; to ,n e t v h e e r r m o lud , had seen Mrs. Cooke go into h er f at h er ' s c ßw o ii m itshs p ot l , lt i . complained 01 t ic o ek bed-room with nothing on but her dressing-gown. They used to be very loving at, meals, and used to shake one another's hands, and if she happened to forget to bring any thing down stairs, they would playfully struggle together and push each other to try which should be first to get it. They used to drink love to each other at dinner time, and he had often seen Mr. Wetherell's arm round his daughter's waist. He had seen her also lying upon the sofa after dinner with nothing but a dressing -gown on, and with her hair hanging about her ears. Upon another occasion, about seven o'clock in the morning, he missed Mr. Wetherell from his bed room, and his suspicion being excited, he knocked at the bed-room door of Mrs. Cooke, and she said something in a low tone and sent him away. The witness went on to state, that before Mrs. Cooke and her lath, r left town in Augtht, 1843, he had observed that the former ap peared to be getting very stoat, and on their return she appeared very much thinner, and seemed to be very ill. Cross-examined—Witness and his wife went to the house in Eaton-place in April, 1843, and it was under stood that they were to remain there until the house was let, and that they were in the mean time to wait upon the defendant and his daughter. Could not say when the occurrence took place of his not finding Mr. Wether ell in his bed-room ; it might have been in May, June, July, or September, or perhaps August. He had re ceceived 101. from Mr. Cooke, and the money was marked in the presence of Mr. Wetherell and a police man ; and on this occasion Mr. Wetherell told him not to be bought cheap. He had seen Mr. Cooke at the house in Seymour-street, but he did not know that he was living with Mrs. Baynton at that house. He saw Mrs. Baynton two or three times in the 3 ear 1844, but he denied having asked her for any money. Mr. Cooke was present ou those occasions, but he did not examine him, or inquire the evidence he had to give in her presence. When he said that he had seen Mrs. Cooke with nothing but a dressing-gown on, he did mean that she had no other articles of clothing on, but she had taken her gown off, and put on a dressing-gown. It was hot weather at the time, and Mrs. Cooke was said to be very poorly. When he was examined at the last trial, he did not say a word about the defendant and his daughter toying together when they were at dinner \dr. Wetherell would say to his daughter at dinners " My love to you, my dear." Mr. CLARKSON—And did you think that indecent ? Witness—l did. I thought their conduct was improper. Baron PARE--I think you should give some other reason for your opinion than what you have just stated. By Mr. CHAMBERS—Had lived in many respectable families, and he never saw a father act towards her daughter in the manner Mr. Wetherell did to Mrs Cooke. At half past seven o'clock the further proceedings in the cause were adjourned until this morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Jon Francis, was brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the locum tenens of the Lord Mayor, clrArged with having pick , d the pocket of Mr. Russell Ellice, merchant, of Leadenhall-street, of a pocket book. Mr. Ellice stated that about twelve o'clock on Tues day as he was passing over London-bridge . he perceived that he was followed by two men , one of them was the prisoner, and observing that they were going on in a hurried 'wi nner towards the City, he felt for his pocke t_ book, and immediately ascertained that it was hands gone. Wi tne ,s having seen the prisoner's comp wh ,otti obr eth oke away and ti the pris oner,flung fidsomethin l iwed and o s ver th eeizen a parapet d the latt er, g into the Thames. The prison er was t h en - pprehended by a policeman. Thomas Randall ? hatter ? of Q;ford, was crossing over , - - the bridge at the time the robbery was committed, and saw the prisoner elude the grasp of Mr. Ellice, and dodge behind carts and carriages on the road. When the prisoner reached the western side of the bridge, the witness distinctly s aw hi m t h row something dark,' re sembling a pocket-book, over the bridge. The witness afterwards saw the pocket-book floating, and directed the attention of a waterman's apprentice, who was in a boat on the river, and who picked it up. Mr. Ellice identified the pocket-book as his property. The prisoner, who has bees long in practice in the particular line of business in which he was detected, said he thought that as he picked up the pocket-book on the bridge, and he might be suspected of having got it unfairly, the best way to escape trouble, was to give it a chance over the bridge. Committed fur trial. A young woman, named Caroline Wolf, was com mitted for trial upon the charge of having robbed her master, Mr. Benjamin, in whose service she had lived a few months, of a variety of articles. It appeared that the prisoner was so fond of dress as not to be able to avoid the temptation to rob for a supply of finery. BOW-STREET. George Johnson, a young man of decent appearance, was charged with stealing a portmanteau, the property of Mr. Day, a trunk and portmanteau dealer in the Strand. John Bliss, shopman to the prosecutor, said that he was standing in the shop that morning, when a cabman came to the door, and said that somebody was running away with a portmanteau. lie went to the door just in time to see the prisoner turning the corner of Wellington -street. He pur sued and succeeded in catching the prisoner, who had the portmanteau produced on his shoulder. The foreman at Mr. Day's shop identified the portmanteau as his master's property. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. 1 - IAbL said it would be necessary to remand the pri soner in order to bring forward the cabman. If the latter refused to appear a warrant could be taken out. The prisoner was remanded till this day week. Samuel Paton, police-constable 142, E division, was charged with having assaulted and used insulting language to Mr. S. Irons, a law-stationer, of Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane. The complainant went into Holborn between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday night last, to witness the ruins of the two houses which had fallen. He there saw the defendant behaving roughly towards two lads in the mob, and was con sequently induced to advise the latter to go home and not mind the police, as they (the boys) would be sure to get the worst of it. The defendant turning towards the complain ant then exclaimed, " What the devil are you interfering for ? We know you ; you are one of the swell mob. We know you by your round hat," using other insulting lan guage of a similar kind. The mob, on hearing this, collected round the complainant, and called upon the police "to take him ;" until, fearing ill-treatment at their hands, he was compelled to run into a confectioner's shop. The defendant, however, followed him in, and, addressing himself to a young woman behind the counter, said, "You have got a thief in your house," at the same time seizing the complainant by the collar, to thrust him into the street again. At this moment the complainant was recognised by a friend, a Mr. Sergeant, also a law-stationer, who assured the defendant that he was mistaken ; upon which the constable told him "that he was one of the same sort." Mr. Irons them took the number of the constable, and lodged his complaint at the police-station. Mr. Wontner argued that the constable applied the insult. ing language to somebody else. To prove this he examined a woman named Pounsbury, who said she was present—wit nessed the whole occurrence—heard the defendant call a drunken man a thief, and also heard him say, when the com plainant asked if he applied the offensive expression to him, "that he meant another party." Policeman E 117 declared he was with him all the time, but never heard him call anybody anything. The confectioner above alluded to thought the constable had acted rightly in forcing people out of his shop, and hoped he would be protected for protecting the public. He didn't know anything about the defendant's calling the complainant a thief, but he believed the former to be a first-rate constable and was very useful in the neighbourhood. Sergeant Sigston, of the E division, believe the defendant to be one of the best men in the force. He only wished every policeman was like him. Other policemen were examined, and their general leanir:g towards the defendent was noticed by his Worship in terms of condemnation. The superintendent and his clerk, who received the charge at the station-house, having been sent for by his Worship, proved that the defendant, when apprised of the charge, actually admitted that he had applied the insulting ex pressions to the complainant in mistake, and " was sorry for it." Mr. JARDINE then sentenced the defendant to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. THAMES. The young man Joseph Davis, late clerk to Mr. David Gadsden, Great St. Helen's, who stands charged with steal ing 850/., the moneys of his employer, was brought before Mr. Broderip for final examination. The prisoner was intrusted by Mr. David Gadsden, on the 22d of last June, with 933/. 10s. 2d., to pay into Williams, Deacon, and Co.'s bank, to the account of James Gadsden and Sons, who also occasionally employed him. Of this amount 8501. was in Bank of England notes, a cheque for 82/. 17s. drawn by Wainwright and Gadsden, jun., and 13s. 2d. in cash. On the same day the prisoner received from the firm of Wainwright and Gadsden, jun., two cheques with directions to fill one of them up for the exact amount of sugars purchased of Trueman and Cook, less the discount if he could obtain the invoice, brit if he could not he was at liberty to fill it up for 5001., and pay it over to the firm. He received similar directions respecting the other cheque, drawn in favour of Simpson, Scott, and Co., colonial brokers, except that he was to fill it up for 350/. only, if he could not obtain the invoice. He did not wait upon either firm for the invoices, but filled up the cheques for 500/. and 350/. re spectively, and paid them over to Williams and Deacon to the account of James Gadsden and Sons, and retained 850/. in bank-notes, which he received of Mr. David Gadsden, and appropriated that large sum to his own use. When the deficiency was discovered, some weeks afterwards, the prisoner was induced, by a promise made to him by Mr. David Gadsden, to give up to that gentlemen 575/. in notes, 10 sovereigns, and a half-sovereign. Among the moneys so given up were three of the 1001. notes delivered to the prisoner on the 22d of June. He was searched at the station-house, and 201. more were found upon him. Although only one cheege has been preferred against the prisoner, there is no doubt his defalcations have been very great. In spector Scott, of the II division, has already recovered pro perty to the amount of 1,0001., purchased by Davis, and he expects to find more. The prisoner's salary was only 501. a year. On Wednesday Mr. llumphreys called Mr. William Pickup. clerk in the banking house of Williams, Deacon, and Co., who stated that James Gadsden and Son kept an account there, and that on the 22d of June he received from the pri soner 933/. Ns. 2d. on their account. It was his belief that the amount was paid in the three cheques produced, to gether with 13s. 2d. in cash. One of the cheques was for 5004 in favour of Trueman and Cook ; another in favour of Simp son and Scott, for 350/. ; and the third was in favour of James Gadsden and Son, for 821. 17s. All the cheques were drawn by Wainwright and Gadsden, and dated 22d June 1846. f e I c i e r .aPt p el r h e a se m nt would not advise his client to make any de woteilhdarggeivseagtaiminesltyhinsoctliiceentt.o Mr. Pelham Mr. Hump f h i r i e e y p s re s fe a r id h redo e ther CLERKENWELL. The prisoner was then committed for trial. John Tylor, a general dealer, in Turnmill-street, Clerken well, was charged with receiving, with a guilty knowledge, an immense quantity of silver and electro-plated knives, forks, spoons, &c., the property of Mr. Burton, of the late firm of Rippon aed Burton, Oxford -street. On Monday last, a man named Heath, who had been in the emp'oy of Messrs. Rippon and Burton, was committed for tri,l on a charge of robbing his employers of a large quantity of miscellaneous property. It was then stated that the prisoner Heath had disposed of the articles to Tylor, and the police have since then been on the look•out for the latter, who quitted his home and was no where to be seen in the neighbourhood. Last night, however, two of the detective force succeeded in apprehending him on board a vessel in Woolwich, on which he had engaged himself as stoker. The officer proved that he found some of the articles pro duced in the prisoner's dwelling, together with a large bunch of picklock keys. John Smart, foreman to Mr. Burton, proved that all the articles exhibited were his master's property. Elizabeth Tylor deposed that she had often seen the prisoner and Heath in conversation in the shop in Turnmill treet. The prisoner admitted having bought goods from a man named Heath, who represented himself as an agent from Birmingham. Bought some of the goods produced from him. The prisoner denied any guilty knowledge, but did not in form the Bench why he absconded.--Remanded. MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A RAILWAY POLICE-SERGEANT. ETON, WEDNESDAY.—Yesterday evening a man named Anthony Thomas Rymes, about forty years of age, the police-sergeant at the Maidenhead station, in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, was brought before the Rev. Thomas Carter, the sitting magi s t ra t e , i n custody of Daniel Sext on , the Maidenhead constable, charged with having inflicted a serious, and, it is feared, mortal wound, upon the body of Mr. Henry Plumb, an articled clerk to Mr. William Ward, solicit or , o f M a id enhead, between nine and ten oclock on Monday night. Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. Ward, soli citor, attended on behalf of Mr. Plumb, who was in too weak and dangerous a state to be present. The following certificate from Mr. Dellis, surgeon, was handed to the magistrate:-- " I hereby certify that Mr. Henry Plumb is not able to attend the magistrates, in consequence of having a punctured wound in the back." The prisoner, upon being placed at the bar, appeared per fectly cool and unembarrassed. Mr. John Mahon Williams (a son of Mr. Williams, the barrister), who was on a visit at Mr. Ward's, at the time of the unfortunate occurrence, deposed as follows :—I was taking a walk with Mr. Plumb on Monday evening, at about half-past nine o'clock, and as we were passing the Dumb Bell public-house, which is opposite to the Maidenhead sta tion, we heard s ome mus i c, which induced us to stop outside to hear it. A b o y ( w h o i t has since been wa s ascertaine d e the son of th e p r i soner, and who is a page i n t h e service us : a family in the neighbourhood), who was standing n looked up in M r .

I up ad a ,; oh, the is roadit? towards Maidenhead, calling out, licking me." We ran a little way after stopped. The boy turned round, n th h e e boy,and then got near the prisoner's house, and said, "You ou come here, and we will g i ve opposite the prisoner's h ouse, Maidenhead. Just as we got _ it you." The boy then went in, and we walked on towards. evidently mistaking us was in the the boy hallooed out two foror tpirre.evvtanrnde,sa,sonit.'s young .Ward," garden with his mother. then saw the p r i soner run into the house, and taking something from off the place on which a candle was standing, immediately run out again and jump over the gate into the road. The prisoner's wife called after him, " Make haste, give it them well. ' Plumb ran away as h stayed w as coming until soon as p the d o prisoner g ca a m te e ; out b of l h t e h n e sa house. w after us, I ran away as fast as I could. Prisoner followed, and when I found he was close ume I ran across the road and jumped over the fence into the ground next to the rail way. Prisoner followed Plumb, calling out to some men in the road, "Stop the young blackguard." I heard one of these men say, " I shall not stop him; what has be done ? ' Almost immediately afterwards I heard the cries of Plumb. I heard him distinctly say, " Have mercy on me, and don't hit me with that." I Len ran across to the railway on to Mr. Ward's house for assistance, and returned with Mr. Ward's m an - servant. On our return we found Mr. Plumb at the King's Arms Inn, Maidenhead bridge, attended by Mr. Bellis, the surgeon. As soon as I saw Plumb, and the dreadful state he was in, t fainted away.

In consequence of the dingerous condition of the unfortu nate young gentleman, it was not deemed necessary to enter into further evidence at present, and the prisoner was re+ manded until Monday. The weapon with which the wound was inflicted wasl large table knife, with a s h arp po i nt , lik e a pi g -knife. I t would appear, from an examination of the clothes worn by Mr. Plumb, that the prisoner must have struck at him more than once, without the knife penetrating the flesh. There are three cuts in the shirt, corresponding in siza with the width of the knife, and two in the waistcoat. The knife pene trated the back, just below the ribs, between two and three nches. The prisoner, who stated he should reserve what be had to say, was taken away in custody of the police, and ,con veyed to the lock- u p a t B eacons fi eld, a d i stance o f upwards of ten miles ; that being the nearest place to Eton, in the county of Bucks, for the safe custody of prisoners under re' wand.
