HARWICH JULY REGATTA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sru„—Seeing in your columns an occasional notice of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club (which during the week the Queen has been pleased to patronise), may I, as an old yachter, suggest to your paper the following scale for the July Regatta in Harwich Harbour, a place where very small boats do not require time for tonnage, since they can out manoeuvre larger craft from the facility of getting close in to the esplanade on every tack where the water is very shallow, and where larger craft cannot but get aground. In beating, therefore, small boats have much advantage inside the harbour and river Stour, but not so round the Cork Light, on the Sufolk shore. Then time should lie allowed, say 30 seconds per ton. The cups will only cost 140/. First race-8 tons and under 8, a ten guinea cup. Second race-8 tons a n d un d er 1 3, a fi fteen ditto. Third race-13 tons and under 26 (time), a twenty ditto. Fourth race-26 tons and under 36 (time), a twenty-five ditto. Fifth race-36 tons and under 50 (time), a thirty ditto. Sixth race-50 and upwards (time), a forty ditto. Your obedient servant, TRUE BLUE. MONUMENT TO JOHN KNOX. The members of the Free Church have recently been ac tively engaged In raising subscriptions for the erection of a monument to John Knox, en the well-known spot at the Nether Bow, where the illustrious reformer lived and died. The monumental structure is to consist of a tower, with two churches and two schools in connexion therewith. Monday was appointed for the laying of the foundation •stone, and in order to impart to the ceremony all visible solemnity and attraction, three several meetings were convened in the course of the day to celebrate the occasion. The first of these was a meeting fur public worship in the ball at Cannonmills, which was filled by a respectable audience, most of whom were ladies. Dr. Candlish preached and conducted the ser vice, and Dr. Chalmers delivered an eloquent address on the character of Knox and the appropriate character of the proposed monument to his memory, in the course of which he was loudly applaud e d. About three o'clock the com mittee of management, resident ministers, and others, met in the Merchants' Hall, Hunter-square, from whence they proceeded in procession down the High-street to lay the foundation-stone. The procession, which was headed by A. Campbell, Esq., of Monzie, Sir J. Forrest, Dr. Candlish, D r. Mackellar, and other ministers, was firmed three deep. A large concourse of people assembled at and in the vicinity of the Bow, to witness the interesting proceedings. The pro cession having arrived at the site of the monument, Mr. Milroy opened the proceedings by giving out the first and last verses of the 100th Psalm. These having been sung, and a prayer offered up by the same Rev. Gentleman, Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, delivered ashort address to the " Friends of the Reformation," in the course of which he said they were peculiarly favoured in having the erection of so appropriate a monument to John Knox entrusted to them after the lapse of 300 years. Mr. Campbell then deposited three glasses, which contained the " History of John Knox," the " First Book of Discipline," several of the works cf the reformer, a re port of the proceedings of a meeting held in Edinburgh in re ference to the monument, a list of the names of those (3,788 in number) who had subscribed to its funds, and other docu ments. Mr. Campbell having applied the trowel, plumb, and line to the covering stone, and administered to it three blows with a mallet, three cheers were given by the assem blage. Two verses of a psalm were again sung, and the pro ceedings concluded with a prayer by Mr. Noble, of the Gaelic Church. Both in going and returning a portion of the crowd assailed the procession with cries of Send back the money," in allusion to the aid received by the Free Church from the churches in America. • In the evening a meeting toile place in the Music Hall, which was crowded. Mr. Thomson, of Bauchory, a lineal descendant of Knox, occupied the chair. On the platform we observed Dr. Cappad ose , f rom H o llund, Sir James Forrest, Bart., Mr. Campbell, of Monzie, and a large number of the ministers of the Free Church from town and country. After a short introductory address by the Chair man, the meeting was addressed by Drs. M'Crie and Hetherington on the history of the Reformation ; by Begg on education ; by Dr. Cunningham on the ecclesiastical bearing of the Reformation ; and by Dr. Candlish, Dr. Buchanan, the Rev. Mr. Milroy, and Sir J. Forrest, on various incidental topics connected with the day's pro ceedings. A letser was read from Dr. Merle d'Aubigue, inclosing a subscription of four hundred francs, and ex• pressing his delight at the near prospect of so appropriate a monument being erected to the memory of the Scottish Reformer. Mr. Jaffray stated that the sum required for the monument would be about 15,0001., and that there was al ready subscribed upwards of 4,0001. In the course of his speech, Dr. Cunningham made the following remarks :—" In regard to Ireland, the fact is this : Ireland cannot be said to have had a reformer or a reformation of her own at all. He Would be a bold man, I think, who would venture to say that the ecclesiastical establishment of Ireland has ever done any material or appreciable benefit to the cause of Protestantism or to the cause of genuine religion. I fear that its influence, direct and indirect, has been of an opposite description, and I am very much persuaded of this, that it would be for the benefit of Protestantism, and for the benefit of true religion, if the ecclesiastical establishment of Ireland were swept away. —(Loud applause.) I think there is good reason to believe that, in the existing position of things, the abolition of the Irish ecclesiastical establishment may be regarded as the first step towards the reformation of Ireland."—(Cheers.) Scotsman. HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SPAIN. BAYONNI, MAY 15.—One of those rugged and solitary valleys, formed by the spurs of the Navarrese Pyrenees, has just been the scene of a shocking tragedy, which, if possible, excited increased horror in the neighbourhood, from the fact of its having occurred within a short distance of the spot where the famous Christino Guriello Elorrio was assassinated only a few days ago. A. fortnight has not yet elapsed since a woman entered an isolated house, situated in the above locality, and begged its inmates, consisting of a peasant, his wife, and their infant, to give her shelter for the night. No sooner was the prayer made than it was granted with that hospitality for which the inhabitants of northern Spain are proverbial, and the stranger sat down to rock the baby's cradle whilst the patrona lit a candle for the purpose of preparing supper. She and her husband then observed that the new corner, whose rough voice had previously excited their attention, bad a very m isculine aspect, and they were not long in finding out that a man, disguised as a female, was beneath the roof One rapid glance exchanged between the dis mayed couple sufficed to show that each had made this alarming discovery at the same time, and the peasant, under pretext of looking after some pigs, went out to seek the as sistance of his nearest neighbours. No sooner was he gone than the pretended weman, assuming a ferecious aspect, ap proached his trembling companion, who precipitately shut herself up in an adjoining room. The robber, f r such he was, tried to burst open the door, but, finding it resisted all his attempts, desisted, threatening that if a sum of money received the day before by the peasant for some maize was not immediately given up, he would kill the child which was sleeping near the miscreant. The poor women, half dead with fright, and not imagining that such a threat could be put into execution, refused to leave her place of refuge, and in a minute afterwards the screams of the little innocent and its .subsequent silence, sud den and profound, told its agonised mother that the monster had murdered it. This deed of blood consummated, the wretch strove to break through the mud wall separating him from his other victim, and in a short time he made an orifice sufficiently large to admit his head and shoulders, through which he strove to make his way; but the peasant's wife, rendered desperate by the death of her child and her own danger, caught hold of a sickle, and seizing the assailant by his hair, hacked at his neck with such energy that she severed his head from the trunk. This done, she fell to the ground in a fainting fit, just as the peasant returned with aid, whose horror and consternation may be imagined on discovering his infant dead and weltering in its blood, the body of a decapitated man extended on the floor, and his unfortunate wife in a swoon, with the robbers head at her feet. A NEW KIND OF POTATO. —John Digby, a cottager, of Buxton, in Norfolk, and the grower of four crops of potatoes in one year, in a letter to the Nor:folk Chronicle, says, " I have discovered a berry which I will gather from the banks or hedges, and which win produce the finest potato or potatoes in quality that ever were grseign One quart of these berries win produce as much as one bushel of our common potato. These berries are of a small sub stance, and are to be planted whole. They must go through a re gular process in the course of the winter, which is scarcely any trouble, and of no expense. I now have in my possession a quantity of potatoes raised from these berries last year, and it is my intention to grow crop after crop this year, until the fourth crop. The size of the potatoes raised from the berries the first year are about that of a duck's egg. The berries ate 50 numerous that all England can be supplied." VICTORIA PARE FAIR.—From Monday, up to Thursday night, a fair was hold in King Edward's-road, adjoining the Victoria Palk. Effort was made by parties in the South Hack ney district to suppress it, hut the magistrates, under legal advice; declined t, interfere. Every species of amusement was afforded, and the utmost older and good humour prevailed. The booths war closed at 11 o'clock by the police.

An in quest was held on Thursday by Mr. Wakley, Sl.p,, at the Middlesex Hospital, to inquire into the death of Louisa Richards, aged twenty fire. The deceased was femme de citanaltre to Mad ame Flora, of 32, Wyatt-street, Regent's Park. About two o'clock on Tuesday morn ing she went into the front kitchen for a light, and took it into the actjoining room for a pitcher of water, and in putting the candle on the floor the current of air blew it towards her dress, which suddenly became ignited. Mr. Shields, the landlord, perceiving a glimmering light from his bedroom window, immediately ran down stairs, and seeing what he took for a piece of carpet all in a blaze, he instantly threw a pail of water on it, and then discovered it was the deceased, Ong on her face, frightfully charred from head to foot. The unfor tunate creature was removed to the hospital in a hopeless condition, and died in a few hours after her admit/flop: Verdict, " deCidental geinti." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 20.—The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, was removed from alongside the dockyard jetty to her moorings up the harbour yesterday. A large number of artisans—smiths, joiners, painters, gilders, &c.—are employed on her, to get her ready, we presume, by the time she will not be wanted, as she has never been ready when her services have been required by her Royal Mistress, more especially upon any emergency. By the way, what has become of the Fury? Does she, too, require an expensive refit after every short season of royal aquatics? From her long absence, and the fact of Prince Albert having been compelled to use one of the oldest Go vernment steamers in existence (the Lightning) when he last visited Osborne, we must premise that she does. What a miserable state of inefficiency does such a system of things present. A sea-going man-of-war is not, under ordinary circumstances, in want of a refit oftener than once in three 3 ears ; and yet these yachts are continually under repair and t i l refit, without their services being required once a month upon the average from year's end to year's end. We imagined the Fairy all that could be wished in every respect , it ft, at a i p e p is e t a w rs a , n h t o s w a e t v e e m r, a s d h e e f h o as r h h e e r r t w w e an su ts p a. p s ose we t l o l a r s en larg er h c e r e a xft: pcnditure upon the mother yacht less conspicuous. The Serpent, 16, recently from t h e China Station, was re moved yesterday from alongside the Blake receiving -hulk, to moorings in ordinary. All possible expedition is being used in making good the defects of the Canopus, 64, Captain Moresby, preparatory to ' her sailing to join the Squadron of Evolution. She will take out letters and dispatches. The Baretti Junior transport, Lieutenant E. Griffiths, agent, completed the discharge of her old stores yesterday. She was towed out of harbour by the Echo steam-tug in the evening, and sailed immediately for the river. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Jones, was paid off this day. She will refit for further service immediately. A scientific officer, who has been in this vessel nearly the whole time of her commission, told us to-day there was not a more comfortable sea-going ship in the service, nor one better qualified to perform all the duties of an efficient man of-war. The Lively naval lighter sailed to-day with stores for the eastern yards. ROYAL MARENES. The annual inspection of the Portsmouth division, under the command of Colonel Jones, Commandant, was made this morning by Major-General the Hon. Sir Hereules Paken ham, K.C.8.. commanding The south-west district, and Co lonel Owen, C. 8., K. 11., Deputy Adjutant-General of Royal Marines. The division formed in line at eleven o'clock in the barrack-square, for the reception of the General who, after passing down the line, inspected each company mi nutely; and afterwards the mens' quarters, non-commis sioned officers' and privates' libraries, boys' and girls' schools, &c., and expressed his most perfect satisfaction at the good order and regularity pervading every department, as dii Colonel Owen—a just tribute to the character and talents of the highly-esteemed veteran Commandant Colonel Jones This division is also much indebted for its efficiency to the indefatigable attention and devotion to its welfare of Lieu tenant-Adjutant Langley. THE_ SUN, LONDON,. MONDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1846 . ROYAL MA SINE ARTILLERY. nis highly-important branch of the marine corps, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel D. A. Gibsme, was also inspected this day by the above officers, first in heavy march ing order in the barrack square, in which they appeared highly efficient and serviceable. At three o'clock General Pakenham and staff, and Colonel Owen, inspected the field battery on Southsea-common, in which the men performed various manoeuvres and evolutions in a highly serviceable and satisfactory manner, which elicited the warm approbation of the gallant officers inspect ing. The battery was dismounted and mounted in the in credibly short space of a few seconds. The battery is under the direction of Captain Stevens, R.M.A. After the field-battery drill, the fire-barns were inspected when the different modes of mounting and moving heavy ordnance, including 13-inch mortars, were a d m i ra b ly exhi bited ; also the Oifferent modes of making compositions for the service of artillery, as carcasses, smoke balls, fusees, rockets, detonating and other kinds of tubes, cartridges for guns, blank and ball cartridge ; also a new description of match for burning under water, the invention of Captain Stevens ; Lord Ellenborough's for moving heavy ordnance without the aid of drag-ropes or harness of any kind was also exhibited, and was eminently successful, to which Colonel Owen and the other officers present bore most gratifying testimony. The other officers of the corps on the field were Lieutenants Tate, Roberts, Davis, Meade, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Savage. The General highly complimented Colonel Gibsone and the other officers upon the highly efficient and warlike state of this eminently useful branch of the service before leaving the ground. STATE OF TRADE.—The condition of the wrought cotton:hose branch has not improved.—The cut-ups have met with a reverse in the demand, and many of the houses deliver out their ma terial with a very sparing hand. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt trade is also worse, and many shops have scarce half employment. The cotton glove trade continues in a tolerable state, but the silk branch is getting worse. The fancy bobbin-net trade is very bad, and though some sales have been made, the commission agents assert that it must have been at very low prices, as it Is with great difficulty they can dispose of a piece. Even the power nets have had a damp, bat they have slightly re covered. The warp lace trade is even worse, and this has reached the silk-blond, the workmen being reduced to 2d. per yard. In the midst of so much gloom there is some reason to hope for better days, as the making of velvet lace has been so far accomplished, as to leave no doubt of its being brought out. This is the most elegant and skil ful manufacture that the world has yet seen, and when the machinery Is made public, the ablest workmen will be astounded at the inven tion, which exceeds all that they have hitherto conceived. The pa tentees have gone into an entirely new field of mechanism. which has immense power, not so much of speed as of variation of manu facture ; but it will require the most skilful workmen.—Nottinghan; Bevies°. A BRISK PLACE.—There is a good anecdote told about the little town of Portland, Indiana, United states. While a certain steam-boat was about putting out from there, recently, for New Orleans, the mate, an old boatman, turned to some passengers, and remarked :—" This little town, gentleman, looks dull, but I can tell you it is perhaps a mighty brisk place. About fifteen years ago. as I was going with a flat boat to New Orleans, we stopped here tc procure some provisions. I went up into the town, and seeing a coat hang out at a shop door, just took it. The owner came after me. —caught me—took me before a magistrate—l was tried—convicted took thirty-nine lashes—and was back to the boat in fifteen mimeos-111 swear. I tell you, gentlemen, a mighty brisk little place is that same Portland." BURGLARIES IN THE VICINITY OF COVENT-GAR DEN --Thursday another extensive robbery in the neighbourhood of Covent-garden took place on the premises of Mr. Jones, woollen draper, in Bedfordbury. The robbers effected an entrance into the premises of Mr. Jones by getting to a skylight at the top of the warehouse, by a gateway which I,?ads down by the shop, and having cut the glass out, they turned the frame back and descended into the warehouse, where they must have been for a considerable time, as the goods were thrown about in all directions. Mr. Jones states that the robbery must have been effected between one and five yesterday morning ; he estimates his loss at 300/. worth of goods, and about 201. 1n cash. During the same nigkt an attempt was made to break into the house of Mr. Canton, dentist, corner of Mays-buildings. The would-be depredators in this case must have raised one of them on their backs and then he held a knotted rope, by which the others as cended to the top of a back sflop, in which, fortunately, a boy slept. The thieves, in looking through the glass of the skylight, broke one of the panes, which alarmed them, as the noise awoke the boy who called out to his master ; but they escaped, leaving the rope behind them. WORKHOUSES IN IRELAND.—By a return on Tuesday printed it appears that on the 25th of March last there were 50,375 paupers in 123 workhouses in Ireland There are 130 unions In Ireland, and 7 workhouses in March were not opened. The inmates have increased in the last three years. In 1844 (March) there were 109 workhouses open. There were 7,166 able bodied paupers-1,780 males and 5,386 females. Other inmates numbered 32,317-16,067 males and 16,250 females, making the total number 39,483-17,847 males and 21,636 females. In 1845 (March) the number of able bodied paupers was 7,097-1,788 males and 5,309 females. Other paupers numbered 35,419-17,517 males and 17,902 females, making the total 42.516. The number of workhouses open In that year was 116. In 1846 (March) the number of able-bodied paupers was 8,246 —1,984 males and 6,262 females. Of other inmates 42,129-20,985 males and 21,144 females, making the total 56,375. The number of workhouses open was 123. - - - NATIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—On Thursday the annual general meeting of the members of this society was held at Exeter Hall, and was most numerously attended, the platfOrm and galleries, as well as the body of the hall, being crowded. A cir cumstance which attracted particular attention was the presence of from seventy to eighty men in the Scots Fusilier Guards. The Earl of Arundel and Surrey, M.P., having taken the chair, the report was read by Mr. William Cash, which gave an outline of the progress of the principles of temperance in almost every part of the world. The temperance movement is making rapid progress all over this country. During the year the receipts of the society amounted to 1,8171., and the expenditure to a sum less by 3001. The Rev. W. Robinson moved, and the Hon. Stafford Jerningham seconded the adoption of the report. The motion was carried, and also several resolutions in accordance with the object of the association. Thanks were then Toted to the Noble Chairman, and the meeting separated. THE SEASON.—CoId rains and hail-storms have con tinued to characteise this month of May; indeed, we scarcely recol• lect a wetter spring than the present. There will, probably, thrre fore, be good crops of hay. As respects the Lent grain, our agricul turists availed themselves of the intervals of dry weather to get in their barley, and it was still in time. The wheats are 3et looking sickly, but we do not hear of anything like a general apprehension as to the success of the crop. We fear there will be an extensive failare in apples, and that cider will reach a high price. Pears, too, appear to have suffered considerably from the frosts of March, espe cially after the snow, and on the night of the 20th, when the ther mometer indicated 12 degrees of frost. Notwithstanding that pros pects are somewhat adverse, the rains have imparted a beautiful freshness and verdure to the earth, and we have no doubt that there I will be sufficient produce both for man and beast. The potato crop seems to be coming on favourably.— IVorcester Journal. DEATHS IN AFFRAYS (IRELAND).—A return h as just been issued by order of the House of Commons, relative to the constabulary, Ireland, from which it appears, that since the Ist of December, 1830, 102 persons have b-en killed, and 87 severely wounded in affrays with the constabulary force. In addition, 35 of the constabulary have been killed, and 207 wounded in those arrays —this being more numerous than the loss of the rioters themselves. Several persons killed and wounded in the county of Kilkenny in November, 1831, and several wounded in October, 1832, are not in cluded in this return, as their names cannot be ascertained. A member of the Montefiore family. who resides near Three Bridges, has built a School there for the education of the chil dren of the neighbourhood. The structure is a very pretty one, and is fitted up in a most comfortable manner. The children, who pay the nominal charge of Id. each, are taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, and are instructed in the Church catechism. Most of the poor i n the neighbourhood, and many of a superior rank, avail them selves of this generosity, w hi ch ti only partof a general conduct which has made the name yr Idonteflore beloved in the neighbour hood.—Brighton Herald. NEW BURIAL GROUND AT FOLR.EsToNE.-021 Thursday last the new burial ground attached to Folkestone Church (presented by the Earl of Radnor) was consecrated by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was attended by the Venerable Archdeacon Crott and the clergy of the district. Owing to the very unfavourable state of the weather but few spectators were present to witness the ceremony. The Archbishop, Archdeacon, and several clergymen and gentlemen, afterwards adjourned to the Pavilion Hetet, where an excellent dinner was prepared for them.—Kentish Observer. 1 DARING ESCAPE OF A SaitiOGLEitThursday noon, at four o'clock , Mr. l'otbury, the ao li c i — after noon, Customs, attended at the Woolwich Pollee to support a charge aga inst William Niles, a be longing to the brig Oceana, for having Pollee -court, uorrt, e before , from th e B oard of in his Toouessia seaman onn sea m of o reign tobacco upon whi ch the dut y had not been paid.T rie , Am Mr. Train, was left in the ante - r oom in charge of Mr. Fowler, a tide s but when the case wa s called on the prisoner was not to h ilbs. f e prisoner lrison , reeor be round ' It appeared that du rin g a short Interval in which the officer had hi s back turned towards the prisoner, the latter threw open one of the side windows of the police-court and jumped out, walking leisurely down the street.

THE FATAL AFFRAY IN TIPPERARY. The Nenagh Guardi zn has brought the full particulars of the fatal affray briefly reported yesterday. An inquest was held on the bodies of the ill-fated persons who were killed, and a verdict returned to the effect that they "came by their death from gun-shot wounds inflicted by the police in the discharge of their duty." The facts, as proved in evi dence. appear to be as follow : "At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Going, sub sheriff of Tipperary, proceeded to Bird hill, about 10 miles from Nenagh, to obtain possession, under a habere, of the house and lands of Mr. George Maunsell, and his under tenants, about 22 in number, at the suite of the landlord, Mr. Stephen Hastings Atkins, for 14 yew's rent, ending the 25th March last. Having been apprised that much resistance would be given to him, he took the precaution to have a strong military force of the 72d, from Newport, under the command of Captain Pollard, and a large body of police, in all about 100. On arriving at Mr. Maunsell's residence they found it regularly fortified, and prepared for a besieging force. The windows on the ground floor were built up, the ball door doubly barricaded outside, the sashes of the windows on the drawing-room floor were taken out, and large rocks of stones placed on the sills, ready to be hurled on the heads of any who might attempt to force the door. Men and women ' filled the windows, shouting out Carrickshock,' and cry ing out No surrender.' Mr. and Mrs. Maunsell were quietly walking about the lawn, and refused on several remonstrances to give up possession. The sheriff, with his bailiff and a few of the police, then commenced the eviction of the under tenants, and twenty-two poor men, with their wives and families, peaceably gave up possession in form, and wire permitted to go in again to their dwellings as care-takers. Near four o'clock Mr. Going again appeared before the house, and by this time a dense mass of people were con,grega'ed on the side of an adjacent hill, looking on. The bailiffs were sent to the side of the house in order to make a breach in the wall, when a shower of stones saluted them, but without injury—a can of boiling water was thrown on one of the sheriff's men, which scalded his neck severely. Mr. G. again appealed to Mr. Maunsell, telling him that he ghoul 1 be compelled to fire upon the unfortunate occupants of the house, but without effect. He was reckless and determined, and would not give up. The party inside the house were then told that the military and police would fire upon them if they held out a moment longer, but these unfortunate inebriated dupes, maddened with the drink they had been supplied with, vociferated the louder, Carrickshock,' and No surrender.' The police fired over the house to intimidate them, but it was no use ; ultimately two shots were fired, and two persons instantly fell dead upon the spot. The sheriff again appealed to Mr. Maunsell, and asked him did he wish to see more lives lost, when he at length yielded, and went to the front of the house and ordered the inmates to surrender. "One of the persons inside, named Margaret Butler, the moment the young female fell went to her body and covered her hands with blood, held them out to the view of the people assembled on the hill, crying out 'Blood! blood! Car rickshock I Carrickshock I' " The people were then seen moving onward—but the precaution taken by the military, who were ordered to prime and load, checked any further advance. Mr. Maunsell then went to the front of the house and called upon Margaret Butler to surrender—and shortly after an entrance was effected. There were five persons only found inside when the sheriff got in—who were all committed to Newport Bride well, one notorious character named Shinners, of whom the police were in search for the last three months, was seen in the window, but was nowhere to be found. By accident the sheriff on coming through the yard looked into a stable in which was a loft, and on looking up through a crevice in the floor he perceived a stir, and calling in a policeman they discovered Shinners. One of the five persons committed to Bridewell stands charged with shooting at Mr. Brown, Lord Bloomfield's steward, some months ago. In narrating the above we forgot to mention that Doctor Twiss, who acts as agent to this pro perty, several times offered Mr. Maunsell to let him in again as care-taker, and give him his own time for re moval—but he was obdurate. We have also learned that workmen were employed for the last three weeks in barri cading the place. On Mr. Mannsell's part, however unwise he was in refusing the possession, and in giving opposition to the Queen's writ—an opposition that any sane man must have seen would be fruitless—his case is this. He held 130 acres of land by a lease of lives renewable for ever, at the very high rent of 21. 12s. per acre. On this land there was no dwelling when he took it but a mud cabin. We also learn that he built the house at a cost of 1,5001. or 1,6001., which perhaps was the cause of his being in arrear one year and a half. His landlord offered him 1001. for the quiet possession, when he became in arrear, which he refused, trusting to the present crop to relieve his embarrassment ; and he alleges that it was in consequence of a railroad in contemplation, in tended to run near or through his land and house, he was evicted, as compensation to considerable amount would be made by the company for any damage." The evidence of Mr. Going was essentially similar to the above narrative. Captain Pollard, in the course of his deposition, Mated that the instructions of the military, when called upon in aid of the civil power, were, when it became necessary for the troops to fire, that they should do so effectively. Such were the military orders, and he made the remark in order to show that he was not actuated in refusing to fire over the house by any brutal feelings upon the occasion. Tke deceased were servants of Mr. Maunsell, Catherine Gardner was in her 18th year, and Henry Boucher was about 22 years of age. MURDER IN THE COUNTY CLARE. A man named Cleary was brutally murdered as he was re turning from the fair of Ennistymon on Friday evening last, in company with his brother, who was also most dreadfully beaten, and lies in great danger. They were attacked by a number of men who had been lying in wait for them, and with whom they had no cause of dispute. INTREPID AND SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE. On Sunday night last, eight or ten ruffians attacked the house of Patrick Manogue, of Clonusker, in the parish of Scariff, in search of fire-arms. A brave and determined re sistance was made by Manogue and his son, who not only succeeded in repelling the party, but in capturing two of them, named Bruslane and Wilson, who were committed to Ennis gaol on Sunday, under an escort of police. STATE OF TRADE. LEEDS.—The markets were dull at our Cloth-halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday. There has been, however, more goods delivered from the manufacturers direct to the mer chants than has been the case for some time past. Fine goods are a truffle lower in price, but the stocks are getting lighter. Business has been dull in the warehouses generally, but the foreign houses are operating more freely, and the general impression now is that a fair business will be done for the autumn. Munson]) lauxx - r, THURSDAY, MAY 21.—There is little improvement in demand in the wool market. This, we are of opinion, is not entirely on a ccoun t o f t h e slackness of trade (and in this some experienced p ersons co i nc id e ) , but from the desire of the spidners to see what the new clip fetches in the market, as a steady price before they venture to purchase, except for immediate consumption. The yarn market con tinues steady, and a good . portion of the u n em pl o y e d f rames are getting into use, but it will be some time, at present prices, before the whole is employed. Prices is yarns are firm. There is marked improvement in our piece market. Most dress goods find a ready sale, and prices are rather buoyant. Our prospects very much improve. MANcifizsTEß, THURSDAY EVENING,—We have not ex perienced the least improvement in our cloth market this week; on the contrary, things are duller, if possible, than ever, though the Liverpool market is still on the advance. The position of both spinners and manufacturers is worse to day than it was three weeks ago by 714 per cent., which causes, it may well be supposed, very loud and general corn plaints. There seems to be no remedy but that of greatly reducing the production. Yarns are pretty ready sale, but nothing like a corresponding advance to that en the staple. LEICESTER. More inquiries are making after worsted goods, and several buyers have visited our market, but with hold their purchases until after the Midsummer stock taking. Yarns remain the same.

HOUSE OF LORDS, May 22. The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. SCOTT V. LETHEM. The argu nents in this part-heard appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and Their Lounsuirs gave judgment, affirming the decision of the Court below. WISHART V. WILSON. The arguments in this appeal from the judge of the Court of Session occupied their Lordships the remainder of the day. COURT OF CHANCERY, May 22. This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chan cellor sat in his Court at W. stminster, at eleven o'clock. His Lordship heard appeal motions. GOODBODY V. SUTER. The arguments in this part-heard appeal motion were concluded to• day, and The LORD CHANCELLOR reserved his judgment. ROLL'S COURT, Mgy 22. The Master of the Rolls sat at Westminster, to-day, it being the first day of Trinity Term. His Lordship took motions. KINDER V. LORD ASIIBITRTON. This case came before his Lordship upon motion for leave to enlarce publication to the end of the present term. the Master having declined to snake the order upon an appl'ca tion for that purpose being made to him. The case is totally devoid of interest except to the parties concerned. His Lordship, in the course of the motion, inquired whe ther the affidavit upon which the application was made had been filed, and upon its being stated that it was not. as it came out of the Master's office, he observed that he would receive no affidavit unless it was filed. It was intolerable that the Court should be continually put to inconvenience in consequence of its being the interest of the Masters' clerks to keep the affi davits in their offices. He bad had frequent occasion to complain of the delay caused by such proceedngs, and if he met with it again he would make an order which he rather thought the clerks of the Masters would not find it to their interest to disobey. He would mentioned also for the consideration of the Masters' clerks, and perhaps for their own interest they would take care that it did not occur again in future, that by the orders of the Court no report of the Masters ought tobe made except upon affidavits that were filed. May 23. Lord Langdale sat to-day at ten o'clock, and proceeded with the hearing of the unopposed petitions. The proceed ings were destitute of any public interest. VICE CHANCERY COURT, May 22. (Before the Vzcz-CuAricELLon. of ENGLAND.) Hip HONOUR heard motions to day, but in consequence of the absence of Mr. Stuart, who was engaged in the House of Lords, the Court rose at an early hour. His Honour stated, at the sitting of the Court, that he would to-morrow take cause petitions, on Monday he would bear the argu ments in the Tiverton School case, and after that had been disposed of, he would renew the hearing of cause petitions. (B Aore the Vice- Chancellor KNIGHT BaucE.) His Honour heard motions to-day, but no case of interest came before him. (Before the Vice• Chancellor WIGISAM.) His Honour, after disposing of the case of Jones v. Rose, heard motions. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 22. (Sittiags in Banco.) Their Lordships entered the Court in full-bottomed wigs; the Queen's Counsel also wore wigs of a similar description. After their Lordships had gone through the bar the peremptory paper was called on. Mr. MARTIN begged to be allowed to mention the case of Stockdale and Benn, and Benn and Stockdale, the Learned Counsel having on his ordinary wig at the time. The LORD CHIEF BARON—" Mr. Martin, I question whether you are visible to-day." Mr. MARTIN said that he was about to state to their Lord ships that he found it a considerable inconvenience to wear the heavy full-bottomed wig. The LORD CHIEF BASON—' must app ar in costume." Mr. MARTIN-4 really cannot wear these wigs, my Lord I am sensible of the ill effects of it for a week after. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—You should bear the inconveni ence, on account of the increased dignity, Mr. Martin.—(A laugh.) It may appear to you a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance. -" I fear, Mr. Martin, that you Mr. MARTIN-It really does, my Lord. Mr. Baron ALDERSO , T-But you cannot appear without having ordered your marriage garment.—(A laugh.) Mr. CMAMBERS said that they had been misled by the Judges in the Queen's Bench having come into Court in the ordinary small wig. Mr. Martin here bowed, and retired. ___ COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 22. (Sittings in Banco at Westminster Hall.) The Court sat this morning shortly after ten o'clock, and proceeded to dipose of the cases in the new trial paper. The first case called on was one in which the infringement of pa tent taken out for a screw propeller was the question. It was one which has been reported frequently before, but neither it nor any other case heard during the day possessed the least public interest. _ May 23. THE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OF THE HON. EAST INDIA COMPANY V. CAPTAIN DOUGLAS. The Court was occupied the entire day up to four o'clock in hearing the arguments in this case, the facts of which have already been frequently published. When the defendant was called up for judgment, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL applied for a rule for a new trial upon various grounds, which he stated at great length. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, With Whom was Sir Thomas Wilde, resisted the application, and thus the whole day was occupied. BAIL COURT, May 22. This Court sat for a short time to-day, and heard one or two dull and uninteresting cases. COURT OF COJI.WON PLEAS, May 22. This Court sat at one o'clock, but no case came before worth noticing. COURT OF BAAKRUPTCY, May 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner SIIEPHEZD. ) IN RE LEMAN AND BRYAN. An application was made in this case for the Learned Commissioner to stay the dividend declared. The bankrupts had carried on business as merchants in the City They had failed to the amount of about 8,0001., 6,0001. of which was on spurious bills accepted by Bryan in the name of the firm. The assignees had taken the opinion of counsel, and it was to the effect that bona' fide holders of the bills were entitled to prove, and that nothing could legally prevent their receiv ing the dividends, but suggested taat the Commissioner should be applied to for his advice and opinion. The assig nees now wished for the dividends on those bills to be re stes of three until a decision could be obtained on a bill fil e d i n Chancery against the drawers of the bill, f or if t h e money could be obtained from them, the dividend t o th e b on a fide creditors wroeuel o d r b f e ou. n r ea_rly twenty shillings i n th e p oun d in- Mr. Goodov, of Colchester, contended that the bond fide holders ought not to be thrown upon the risk of obtaining the money from the drawer. After a long discussion, The Learned Coxxissicatpt said that he had no power to stay the dividend, and in this opinion he was confirmed by two other Commissioners. There did not avpear to b e any reasonable ground to refuse it to the bond fide holders. The solicitor to the assignees said they only wished to be on the safe side; they could not petition the Court of Review on the subject, as they represented both classes of creditors, with adverse interests.—Ths matter then dropped. PALACE COURT, May 22. (Before W. B. BRENT, 1 - sq. ) MAKING SHORT `'Nome of IT.—There were fifteen case.; set down for hearing, which were disposed of in forty minutes, being a fraction less than three minutes for each case. There were also upwards of fifty sammonses under the Small Debts Act. In one case one of the officers of the court, named Herring, was the only witness, and his evidence was this:— " I called two or three times on defendant and asked him for 51. is. 6d., but he has not paid it." On his evidence a ver dict was given for the plaintiff. ORGEA.E. V. BARTON'. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. 15s. 6d. for rent. It appeared from the evidence that the action was for eight months' rent of a house. The defendant had taken posses sion on the 18th of August last. Mr. LOCKE said that 1/. 10s. must be taken off for a debt due to the defendant, who had commenced proceedings for it. Plaintiff must pay the costs of them up to this time, and would take a verdict for the difference. Verdict for plaintiff. In a case set down, which was said to be an ordinary case, the defendant had removed it by habeas into the court above, at the expense of 201. SECONDARIES' COURT, May 22. (Before Mr. Secondary JA3fEiL) BRUMFIELD V. RoGERAi. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 9/. 10s. Id., the balance of an account for goods sold and de livered The defendant pleaded that she was not indebted. The facts were rather of a peculiar nature. It was alleged by the evidence that in 1844 the plaintiff, who is a wholesale dealer, had dealings with the defendant. Part of the goods supplied were ordered by a female named Lyons, and it was now contended that the present claim ought to have been against her. _ . s hop, got p erm i ss i on of band, woman, butb ande i t o h g a t a she nx — Mrs. Lyons was call e d, an d prov ed that she was a m arr i e d io w u as s t o o bl o ig p e e d n t a o separate from her bus. the defendant to use her name over the door, and took out the licenses for tea, tobacco, &c., in defendant's name, and dealt with the plaintiff ; that the plaintiff was fully aware of the object of her going under the name of the defendant, in order to protect the property against her (witness's) hus band, and that through fear of him she had been obliged to remove the goods to another place. Some doubtful evidence was tendered to show that plaintiff had said he should hold defendant liable, but other evidence was adduced to the contrary. The bills had been made old Mrs. Rogers Dr. by Mrs. Lyons." The Learned SECONDARY said, that the jury must dismiss from their minds all question as to whether the plaintiff had chosen to proceed against defendant, knowing that Mrs. Lyons was a married woman ; the question was to whom had the credit been given, for it was quite consistent that it had been given to Mrs. Lyons, both the plaintiff and de fendant out of kindness allowing the business to be osten sibly carried on by the defendant, though in fact it was for Mrs. Lyons, who certainly considered herself or her husband to be liable, and had treated the goods as her own. The SECONDARY gave a verdict for the defendant. GRAVESEND AND ItOcREsTEE RAlLWAY.—Traffic re turns ihr the sv , ek ending May 16 :—Passengers, 8,602 ; amount re ceived, 2141. 145. sd. THE TRINITARIAN BIBLE SOCIETY.--The annual meeting of this society was held on Thurs lay at the Hanover-stuare Booms, but the attendance was so very small that doubts were ex pressed from the platform as to whether the society would live. The proceedings were almost entirely confined to a discussion of the dif ferences between this society and the British and Foreign Bible So ciety, from which it has seceded. With respect to these differences, the speakers were not perfectly unanimous, but from what we could gather the chief ground of complaint against the original society is that, adopting a utilitarian spirit, it has admitted into its member ship Socinians in this country, and Romanism abroad. Mr. J. La bouchere presided, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Bennet, the Rs.v. Mr. Robinson, the Rev. G. W. Phillips, the Rev. J. Harris, the Rev. Mr. Cummins, and other clergymen.

MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, who appeared upon the list as Mr. George Dixon, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having stolen 24 bibles, the property of Mr. Ewens, bookseller, of Ave Maria-lane. A person having called at the shop of Mr. Ewens, and ordered two dozen of bibles and a bill of parcels and re ceipt to be sent to the office of Mr. Dixon, in Three King's-court, Lombard street, a boy was sent with the parcel, and directions not to leave it without the money. The prisoner was standing at the door of a house in the court, and he asked the boy whether he came from Mr. Dixon, to which the boy having said " Yes," " Then," said the prisoner, " Mr. Dixon has been waiting here this half hour for the books, and ha has just gone down to Ave Maria-lane to pay for them." The prisoner hav ing helped the boy from the weight upon his head, placed the parcel upon the stones, and the boy went away, thinking that all was right. Mr. Ewens never received a farthing of payment for the books. The LORD MAYOR—Are ycu quite sure the prisoner is the man ? Boy—l am. The prisoner —Oh, I d on ' t mean to deny it all. My i name s Dixon, and lam the person who ordered the books.. It is a regular debt. The LORD MAYOR—Not exactly. It looks very like a regular robbc ry. The prison-r —I assure you, my lord, I never had any idea of crmmitting a fraud. The LORD MAYOR—I fancy you will find that this is a felony, 'I he prisoner —I admit I bought the books, and I have the bill of parcels at home. The LORD MAYOR— And where are the books ? The prisoner —The books! why they con be got at; they are in my possession. I consider that I have bought them. The LORD MAYOR—I do not consider so at all. The prisoner —I, at least a friend of mine, ordered them for me, for I am in the . beok line occasionally. The LORD MAYOR—Why did you not tell the boy that you were Mr. Dixon? Prisoner—Why I thought my friend might have said that he was Mr. Dixon, and I thought it the most prudent course not to say my name. (Laughter.) I had no notion of doing anything wrong. I have got the bill of parcels to show that it is a regular business transaction. • The LORD MAYOR—That don't favour you, my good fellow, clever as you are. The prisoner —I ran after the boy when he left the books, but I could not catch him. The LORD MAYOR—I shall remand you for some days. I dare say the officer who gave us a history of the swind lers into whose hands the poor girl who appeared before Alderman Gibbs fell, knows something about you, and that in a few days we shall have more complaints of this kind to investigate. Prisoner—l can bring pl.nty of respectable persons here to speak of my character. The LORD MAYOR—I should like to see your friend who gave the order for you at Mr. Ewens's. The pri sen-r —I do not like to say anything to hurt his feelings, but if he consents I have no objection. The priss nar was remnnaed. GUILDHALL. Joseph Carter, a journeyman shoemaker, lodging in Moorfields, was brought up for a second examination, on the charge of having murdered John Oddy, a man working at the same trade, on Tuesday last. • M , . Remnant, the house-surgeon at Bartholomew's Hospital, was the first witness, who deposed that the unfortunate man was brought to the hospital at twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, with two wounds in the abdo men, from which wounds he died. They might have been effected by such a knife as that produced. Thomas Rigby, of No, 4, Reynold's-court. Type street, Moorfields, deposed. that he lodged with the prisoner, who came home on Tuesday night, and after -ummaging his drawer he took out a knife. and witness asked him what he was going to do ; when he replied that it was no business of witness's, and he then went out as he was ge'ting up to shut him in. The knife now produced is what is called a forepart knife. James Shaw, a shoemaker, said he was drinking with the deceased, when a chaffing arose between him and the prisoner, when, after a time, the nrisoner stamped his foot, and said, as he went out, "I will fetch some thing that will do for him," and ran off in the direction of his lodging. He returned in a few minute s , an d put ting his head into the room, beckoned Oddy out of' the room, and when he went the prisoner immediately struck him with a knife in the abdomen. T. Doby Court was present when the unfortunate affair occurred, and heard the deceived say he would not allow the prisoner to drink out of his pot, and called him a sponging fellow, and said he must work for his living as he did. This witness furthermore corroborated the last witness's testimony. Mr. Alderman Ginns asked the prisoner if he was aware that Oddy was dead, when he replied he was not, and that he was sorry for it. He appeared fully sensible of the awful position he was placed in. Daniel Blay, a city policeman, was on duty, and heard the prisoner say, with an oath, as he passed him on his way for his knife, " I'll do for you." The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial. BOW-STREET. RAILWAY ROBBERIES AND POST-01 , 710E ROBBERIES.— On Friday John Farr, who stands charged with beng con cerned in robbing the post-office at Gravesend, and also with several railway robberies, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination. Mr. Peacock appeared en the part of the Post-office autho rities; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Nash for the South-Eastern Railway Company; and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner. In order to complete the evidence of the post-office robbery at Gravesend, the particulars of which have already appeared, two bankers' clerks were examined respecting the non-arrival and the remittance of the property stolen from the Gravesend bags, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. He was next charged with negotiating a 101. Bank post bill, which was stolen from a letter sent by post from Glou cester to London. Mr. John Williams, clerk to the Gloucester Banking Com pany, stated that on the 29th December a letter was written to Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., stating that a remittance, under a separate cover, amounting to 1671. Is. 7d., would be forwarded by that night's post, which he made up, and which consisted of five cheques value 871. ls. 7d., a 101. Bank post-bill, eight 5/. country bank notes, and three 10/. country notes, of which the 10/. Bank post-bill produced. dated October 1,1845, No. F 3,654, formed a part, and which he endorsed. They were inclosed in an envelope, which he sealed and posted at Gloucester. On the following day a letter was received stating that no such remittance as was mentioned had been received. Thomas Thompson, a clerk in the service of Jones, Loyd, and Co., proved that no such remittance came to hand, of which he gave notice to the Gloucester Bank. William Wood, a tobacconist, 69, King William-street, City, proved that on the 4th of April, about seven o'clock in the evening, being in his shop, a man came in to purchase cheroots and cigars, which came to 2/. 125., which he paid for with the 101. Bank post-bill produced, which was brought to him by his shopman, and he changed it. He was posi tive that the prisoner was the man. Sergeant Witcher, a detective officer, said that when he apprehended the prisoner, on the Bth inst., he had whiskers, which had since been shaved off. Oa this charge the prisoner was also fully comnaited for trial. Mary Anne Newland was then placed at the bar charged with having in her possession a quantity of property, stolen in the latter end of last month from the terminus of the South -Eastern Railway. Dr. John Roberts, No. 43, Baker-street, Portman-square, stated that on the 29th of April last, he was a passenger with his family from Folkestone to London, having a port manteau and a quantity of other luggage, which he saw de posited in the luggage train previous to starting. On arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms he discovered that his portmanteau was missing, and he never saw it again till the Bth instant, when it was shown to him by the officers at No. 163, Sloane-street, Chelsea, where the prisoner resided. It had been forced open, and a portion of the property was still in it, others being discovered hi different parts of the house. On seeing the male prisoner, he immediately recog nised him as being at Folkestone, and subsequently at the Bricklayers' Arms station. Among the articles placed in the portmanteau were some of his wearing apparel, several volumes of medical books, a diploma and medical certificate, a 51. Bank note, with a quantity of small articles belonging to his wife, which were found mixed with the female pri soner's wearing apparel. .There was also a gold bracelet in the trunk, which has net been found ; and some surgical instruments, with an opera glass, were found on the parlour table. Mr. William Brewster Henningham, inspector of police at the Bricklayers' Arms station, proved that on the arrival of the train, about a quarter past eight o'clock on the night in question, when the last witness missed his portmanteau, he was standing behind the barrier while the luggage was de posited, and he saw the male prisoner inside among the lug gage. Witness inquired what he was doing there, and in sisted on turning him out, at which time he was in the act of taking up a green baize bundle. On being informed of the robbery he instituted inquiries respecting the cab in which the prisoner drove away, and ascertained that he was taken to Pimlico, upon which he furnished a minute descrip tion of the prisoner to the metropolitan police. Samuel Page, driver of 2,060 cab, proved that he took a man resembling the male prisoner from the Bricklayers' Arms station on the evening of the day in question to the White Horse public-house in Pimlico. Ile had at first or dered him to drive to the White Horse Cellar in Piccadilly, which was the address he left at the station, in accordance with the regulation that each driver should furnish the di rection to which a fare orders to be driven to. The luggage consisted of two portmanteaus and a parcel. Thomas Bateley, potboyat the White Horse, Pimlico, re collected a gentleman coming in a cab with two trunks and a parcel. The prisoner resembled the gentleman, and he re mained about a quarter of an hour. He required to be ac commodated with a bed, but there was none vacant, and he went away, leaving his luggage, and in about half an hour he returned in another cab, and took away the luggage. About ten minutes before nine o'clock, while taking out the beer, he again saw the same cab standing opposite a pawn broker's door, when the same gentleman came up and got into it. _ _ Joseph Bloomfield, driver of the last-mentioned cab, said that he took up a gentleman very much resembling the pri soner from the White Horse public-house, by whom be was ordered to proceed to the Vauxhall-road, but on going along he desired him to pull up at Debenham's pawn-shop to deposit his luggage, of which a trunk like that produced was a part, but he did not remove the large trunk which was outside. He next drove to the Vauxhall-road, and on reaching the Duke of York public-house the fare got out of the cab, taking the remainder of the luggage with him, and in compliance with his orders, witness lhanded in the large trunk, which was left in the shop. John Dobson, landlord of the public-house, said that the prisoner resembled the person who brought the portmanteau and hat-box in the last witness's cab. He drank some ale, and then took away the luggage, having delayed onl y a few . . minutes in the shop. Rebecca Wicks, a young woman in the service of the female prisoner at 163, Sloane-street, said that her mistress went by the name of Newland, and passed as a widow. She had lived in her service thirteen weeks, dur i ng . which time the male prisoner was i n the habit of frequenting the house, and she always understood that they were brother and sister. On the night of the 29th of April recollected his arriving at the house, about ten o'clock, w th a portm9nteau and a hat-box in his possession. She had seen one of the bonnets produced in her u,istress's hano previous to the time that Dr. Roberts came and identified the trunk and other articles as his property. The linen articles produced were found by the officer in a dra Yer in the kitchen which was used by the female prisoner. n cross examination v itness said that ti'e female ;Irj soner had four children, three of whom her. The male prisoner had access to all were with except the &pug:l=w occupi.4.„ wle k , parts of the house i 9 ggerh 6134 121111. tress was not at home when the male prisoner brought in the trunk. By Mr. Ballantine--She had every reason to suppose that the prisoners cohabited togethrr, and she never knew that his name was Farr until t o letters came directed to him, upon which her mistress told her it was all right. Tho letters a:rived on the Thursday and Saturday before the pri soners were apprehended. Dr. Roberts being recalled said that a bracelet and several papers of importance which had been in the trunk were still missing. Mr.lllllantine said he had no further evidence to offer, and the witnesses being bound over, the prisoners were fully committed for trial. They were, however, be brought up again on Sat; r ay. RAILWAY I{OBBERIES.—John Farr and Mary Anne Newland, who have been ex,:mined at other offices for robbing the Gravesend post-ofEcte ba,rs, and also with several reilway robb-ries, were brought before Mr. Jar dine, and charged with stealing a deal box from the South Eastern Railway in October last, containing the property of Mr. Joseph I,lroodhead. Mrs. Woodhead identified the property which was found at the p.-is-ner's lodgings. Mr. Billat,t:ne, who appeared for the prosecution, said there was property to a large extent found at the female prisoner's house, which, lie was assured, was the rroceeds of other robberies Two robberies had been effect, d on the Birmingham Railway, and, as the com pany did not feel inclined to prosecute. he wished to call forward the parties aho had b en robbed so as to bring h , me the guilt to the prisoners. This was objected to by Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the prisoners, but Mr. Jardine thought such evi dence ought to be produced ; when Mr. W Evans, an engineer residing in Clayland•row, Kennington, stated that he was going down by the mail train on Good Fri day, from Euston-square. He had a leather case (pro duced), containing engineering implements, in hie pos session at the time. He placed tlu case on a seat in the carriage, and went to see his portmanteau placed in the lrggage van. On his return to the carriage he found that his leather case had been stolen. Mr. Ballantine then applied for a'remand, as he could nct produce further evidence to-day, but there were nu merous other charges he could bring forward at a future time. Mr. JARDINE ordered them to be brought up again on Tuesday next. TVORSHIP-STREET. Henry Shaw, a middle-aged man of respectable appear ance, was placed at the bar b e f ore M r. Bi ng h am, charged with having embezzled various sums of money, amounting in the whole to nearly 500 L, the property of his employers, Messrs. Gamman and Co., wholesale glass manufacturers at Birmingham. _ _ Mr. attended to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Naylor for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Phillips that the prisoner hod been for several years in the service of the pro secutors as their London agent and collecting clerk, at a salary of 3001. per annum, and that it was his duty to trans mit to them at Birmingham whatever moneys he received on thar account as soon as they reached his hands. Mr. Charles Beach, manager to the Birmingham and Mid land Joint-stock Bank, and who also described himself as an executor under the will of a deceased partner in the prose cutor's firm, deposed that after investigating the prisoner's accounts, he had waited upon numerous customers of the firm, and ascertained that they had paid the latter various sums of money, to the extent of at least 4501., for which he had failed to account. For the defence, the prisoner's solicitor handed up to the bench a written agreement between his client and the prose cutors, in which it was stipulated that the prisoner was to receive 3001. per annum for his services, comprising a com mission of 3 1 / 2 per cent. upon all Fa'e; h effected, and c:,n tended thereupon that as his client had a direct interest in the business the relative position of master and servant had not been establish , d. Mr. BINGHAM, however, was of a contrary opinion, and considered that sufficient evidence had been adduced to jus tify him in detaining the prisoner upon the charge ; but he had no objection to accept bail, himself in 1,0001., and two sureties in 5001. each, fur his appearance at the next exami nation. SOUTHWARK. Cornelius O'Donoghue, a sehoo!master, residing in Union -street, Borough-road, (late a constable of the metropolitan police), appeared upon a summons granted un the complaint of William Russell, on behalf of his in'ttot son, about six years of age, fur cruelly and un mercifully beating him. The child was too young to have the oath adminis tered. Another older lad was too ignorant to be sworn, not knowing the nature of an oath, nor being able to repeat the Lord's Prayer. The father of the child having been sworn, stated that on the morning of the 14th, when the boy went to school he was free from all marks of violence, but on his return he saw that the child's face was bruised and much swelled ; and a sur geon by whom he was examined said his jaw was in• iured. The child complained of being badly hurt ; and on further examination severe bruises were discovered, extending from his shoulders down his back. Witness went to the defendant, who said the boy was very mis chievous and obstinate, but added that he was sorry he had been so severe. After being cal'ed on for his defence, the defendant said he considered that he only inflicted necessary cer poreal punishment for the child's good, and he believed a schoolmaster had those powers invested in him by law. He then produced a small bamboo eine, as being the instrument with which he inflicted the punishment, and he appealed to two gentlemen, Roman Catholic clergymen, as to his general propriety of conduct. The magistrate expressed his opinion very strongly upon the gross impropriety of resorting to such violent means of pnnishing a child of each tender age, and the want of temper exhibited by the defendant on the occa sion. He (the magistrate) would recommend the de fendant in future to use the birch rod, instead of the cane, and required him to find two sureties for his good behaviour for six months.—The two clergymen referred to, entered into the sureties, and defendant was discharged. THAMES. Mr. Hill, the gentleman who was defrauded by Joseph My of five shillings' worth of stamps, with the expec tation of " hearing something to his advantage," waited upon the magistrate with a communication from Sir Peter Laurie respecting this man's practices ; and after stating that he should be able to prove his case against Ady, who was now in custody, left the magistrate a copy of a printed circular, forwarded from the Mansion house, cautioning persons from being taken in and cheated by letters addressed to them by Ady, and from paying any attention to the references as to character given by him. It is understood that Joseph Ady will have to answer several charges upon his next examination. MARKET NEWS-(SATURDAY. COVENT-GARDEN.

A letter was read from his iZoyal Highness Entice Albert, who inel sed 100/. as his contribution towards the funds. The Chair man explained that the society was established for preparing models, &c., by which poor men would benefit, and from which those who invested their capital would reap no small advan age. The report, which was read by the Secretary, stated that the Bishop of London hal presented 1001., Mr. Samuel Gurney L 01., the Bishop of Nor wich 201., and that many other ablutions had been received. The Society had expended its funds in the erection of Its dwellings In the Bagnigge Wells -road. Sir Digby Mackworth, in moving the adop tion of the report, referred at some length to the allotment system, Which he had tried on his own land. He had found it to work ex ceedingly well, with the exception of some apprehension on the part of the farmers, who thought that their labourers might become too independent.
