gourtb laittion FRANCE. A sergeant of the 33d regiment of the line, named An dr 63, w h o h as been many years in the service, and had received the Cross of the Legion of Honour for his bravery and general good conduct, was tried on Monday by court-martial, on a charge of fraud and forgery, in appropriating to himself a sum of 135 f., with which he was entrusted as pay-sergeant of his co mpany, and mak ing a false entry in his books with a view of preventing the discovery. The charge was clearly made out, but the defence showed that the pri soner intended to pay the money to the company, and made the false entry to gai n time, as he expected daily to receive a remittance from his friends. It was admitted also that soon after he was arrested the prisoner did re ceive a remittance, and restored the sum that he had ab stracted; but th e bad f ea ture of his case was that he, in order to acc o u n t f o r not paying the money in the firstinstance, pretended that it had been taken from under the pillow of his bed, and thus cast an imputa tion of theft on the sergeants who slept in the same room. The Court declared the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to five years' reclusion, military degradation, and degradation from the Legion . of Honour. As the imprisonment called reclusion is in the eye of the law an infamous punishment, and differs from the ordinary sentence to imprison ment by rendering the person condemned to it liable to the surveillance of the police for the whole of his life, and as the law of year XII. of the Republic declares that no sentence or punishment carrying with it infamy shall be inflicted on a mem ber of the Legion of Honour until his degradation from the legion shall have been openly and solemnly pronounced, the commissary of the Government ap plied to the court to pronounce the degradation with all its formalities. This was accordingly done. The prisoner, on the reading of this part of the sentence of the court, was greatly affected. He became pale as death, and almost fainted. The last accounts from the Ile de la Reunion (Bourbon) are to the 9th July. The small-pox had made numerous victims. The French vessel, the Grenouille of Marseilles had been pillaged and burnt on the western coast of Madagascar. The captain and part of the crew had been massacred, and one of the crew had been taken prisoner by the chief or Xing of Menahe. SPAIN. A Madrid letter states that a band of briga nds, who had long infested the province of Cordova, has been effectually put down by the Civil Gua rd, who came up w i th it just as it was about to rea ch Gibr a ltar, to claim protection. A conflict took place, in which five of the bandits were killed, and three wounded. Twenty-one were made prisoners. There was a very violent thundersto.rm at Barce lona on the 10th. The electric fluid struck and i destroyed the telegraph of the fortress of Moat - juich, and did considerable damage to the house of the Governor. GERMAN Y.

ITALY. --- A letter from Rome says—" The famous Engard Gasparoni, who is at present confined in the citadel of Civita Castellani, will, it is said, shortly be sent to another prison. He is the man of whom the illustrious Trappist, Baron Geramb, recounts such extraordinary exploits. Gasparoni pretends that he has been shamefully calumniated. It is alleged,' he says, that I have committed nearly eighty murders ; but that is an impudent falsehood. I have only committed thirty-six on my own ac count, and I cannot be made answerable for others in which I may have been engaged. This brigand is tall, and of rather venerable appearance. He is nearly sixty years of age; his beard is entirely white, and he wears the pointed Calabrian hat. The French soldiers who guard the fort sometimes converse with him. He amuses them by his jokes and his frightful naiveté. As he capitulated to the Government, he has not been brought to trial, neither has his band. His liberty has several times been offered to him, but he has con stantly refused it, unless his family, as he calls his band, shall also be released." MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

NEW STEAM-DOCKS IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. Somersetshire is divided upon a nautical question It is proposed to make new docks for the ocean: steamers which are now multiplying so rapidly. Al ready an Australian Company has obtained a survey of the coast of the Bristol Channel; the people of the Place are on the alert, and Bristol suddenly awakes to t.,.t' un e fact that if it d o no t b es tir itself in emulation of lalVerpo-, , Glasgow, and Southampton, it may " be obliterated from the list of important seaports." Steam -ships of immense size, twice the length of the Great Britain, are in process of construction ; and opinion inclines to anticipate a continuance in the practice of Ina IA Ports of cr ships much larger than they have been. of nmesponnic i size are needed ; and in a trade so suddenly and rapidly increasing, there is room for the Sever n to take its share, without de frauding the Thames, th e Clyde, the Mersey, or the Solent. Various plans are on foot; but two may be said to divide the field ; and they may also be described, in general terms, as being severally sup ported by the merchantmen of 1 3ristol, and by tee country gentlemen of the coun ty. One plan is, to convertP;otaisbhneatdo , - Bay into a large anect the new harbour, by erecting p iers Wstern Rs . th, port with the Great Western near to Br a ? . This port has the advantage of being is nsttol. We are assured that the intended railway of the a ba ndoned as at first might be supposed, a revivalnd Harbouar n4"ed project of the Portbury Pier a t on that line, schem b r r il that it offers great i m provemen t s oil d t e. --a make a e one b y avoid expensive tunnelings, it will Ferry ; and his cal- Pill, Ram Green, and Rownham F . line and piers , including that " the whole cost of the I including law-charges," will not exceed , 120 , 0001. too . The lad statement--" ' including law-charges' !— looks astounding ; but it is evidently less tangible_ in its data than the other parts of the plan, and therefore challenges less exact criticism ; and there is no dou bt that the docks and any needful approaches will be well worth their cost, whatever that may be. We are told by a local paper friendly to this plan, that it 4 ‘ cannot fail to be of the greate s t benefit to Bristol," as the Corporation of Bristol and the Bristol Charity Trustees are the greatest owners of the land at For tishead, ai in enhancing its value they are increasing the :uze4,4oi rt , : ( ouncil and the Trustees." . 7 , .- 774- k , , .4 . , starts from the suggestion of Lieu 1111`',A. i„.4 .. -. . made the Admiralty survey of -1 - ' II V.-•.* 835. . , II kr.

That place is Sand Bay, an indentation of the coast nearer to the sea than Portishead ; and the advocates of this plan are not only strong in that unconcerted authoritative reinforcement, but they point to many inherent and collateral advantages. One essential of a great dock should be its ready accessibility ; and in this respect Sand Bay is somewhat better off than Portishead, since it lies but a little way off the main trunk of the Great Western, and between two of its branches, those to Clevedon and to Weston-super- Mare. Sand Bay is barely two miles from that trunk line ; the new railway which would of course be constructed might, for less money than the Portia head branch by Rownham-ferry, be rendered direct, and more ample ; probably furnished with double lines. The whole of the section of coast, therefore, that includes Sand Bay would be provided with its own direct branch and side branches to what may be called the suburban wings that would inevitably extend coastways from the docks. On the other hand the bay is right opposite to Cardiff, and within ten miles of that port, and w ithin fifteen miles of Newport ; so that its supplies of coal, iron, &c., would be at a peculiarly handy distance. The Sand Bay plan has the advantage of larger space within the natural port—space enough for a navy ; the bottom is a firm soft mud, harmless to ships, easy to build upon:; and at low-water mark there is a sudden depth capable of floating the largest ship in the world at all tides. The se are Kreat posi - tive advantages ; but the scheme also claims some scarcely less important negative a dvantages. Some of th e dangers darkly illustriou s in the traditions of the Bristol Channel commence exactly at Sand Point, the upper natural pier of Sand Bay, and extend in vidiously enough to Portished : theshoal a c n a id lle ß d ay th is e English and Welsh grounds " occupies that portion of the Channel on the Southern coast. s clear of that peril ; it has exac tly the , westi ng" which is prized in the navigation . of the Channel, and seaward it is obstructed by no difficulties to the voy as they are offered, by agse,uocuhtwaraerdthoer two plans, their respective fr iends,. f or . public support. It is not for us, on the first inspection of the two, to pronounce w hi c h is the better. . l o a-v u mercantile gtroeaßt arp obradt oofeos some mn proximity, ez oi a and s o i l n d otraditionste s o , f B whichOri b s t v g o l t i i t o s n earliest settlers—might incline us, with the local traders, to Portishead. E v id en t natu ral advantages, and the prospect of a cert a i n s ubstantive su ffi ciency itself, to might attract us, with the county people, to Sand Bay. But th e r i g ht c h o ice ought to be deter mined by important facts, which are not yet before u . s in their b ear i ng on th e t wo pla n s ; and it will pro bably be for Parliament to decide. The day has per haps gone by when corruption could decree its golden dictates to Select Committees on private bills; and this question, which possesses a more than imperial, a cosmopolitan interest, will be watched too generally and too keenly to be decided on any other ground than that of the essential facts.—Spectator. IRELAND. THE MEMORY OF THE DEAD. - With a few exceptions, and those in quarters where no better could be expected, the Irish press, of all shades of politics, has not failed to do full justice to the memory of the illustrious Duke, whose death is regarded by all right-thinking men as the greatest public calamity of modern times. The sneer of the ultramontane Tablet has been followed up by a Gal way paper (the Packet), which thus concludes its obituary notice : " The death of the Duke is a calamity for the British oligarchy, who ever turned to his counsel with faith in the hour of crisis. The great captain is dead, and there is not an unmoved heart among those he worked for so long and well, and there is not a tearful Irish eye from the blue bays of Cork to the cliffs of Donegal. May Erin never rear such another sun—to tarn his mighty genius to the service of her tyrant. Peace and forgive ness to his immortal soul!" Another Galway paper (the Vindicator) altogether out-Herods the foregoing. No one will envy the feelings of the writer who could pen such language as this " The Irishman, Wellington, has gone after the Englishman, Peel—the two eyes of England are out. Henceforth she will want—but we trust will not obtain —lrishmen to guide her armies, and councils she will be obliged to trust to her sons, who are destitute alike of the eloquence of Burke and the courage of Wel lington—stolid, stupid, swinish Englishmen. England is weeping over the coffin of an Irishman who was loyal to Britain though a traitor to his native country. That Irishman was the greatest commander that ever led the British armies to victory. He was emi nently successful, and this because he had such legions as the Connaught Rangers to fight for England, whereas other commanders who mar shalled in other days the hosts of Britain were encoun tered in their great pitched battles by our brethren of the Irish Brigade. Were we still following the standards of France—were we still as of old shouting Faugh-a-ballagh under the bright emblazonry of the silken banners of hostile countries—were our exiled countrymen shouting and bleeding, as a hundred years ego, foremost and vociferous in the armies of the French Monarch, as when they pitched their tents beside the foaming Elbe and the rapid Iser—when they bivouacked in the glens of the Alps, and bled upon the margins of the Padus, what would have been the consequence? The field of Waterloo might have been another Fontenoy. There was not an atom of chivalry about the Duke. He did what he was paid for, and he did it well; but he did nothing more. There was no heart in his fighting. He was the beau ideal of one of those Swiss commanders, who led their countrymen under the standard of the Dutch against the Hottentots or Carribs. He was in a word a Dagald Dalgetty, without the vain boasting of that hireling soldier. He served a commer cial people steadily, rigidly, soberly, regularly, just as a commercial people like to be served; it was such generals as Wellington—men of a trading, quakerly turn of mind, without any of that nobility of character, without a single particle of that ennobling romance which extenuates the faults and endears the memory of the Godfreys of old and the Murata of modern times —men like Wellington carried the banner of Carthage into the Bane* of Spain; such men as he were hired by the trading aristocracy of Venice to fight for that suspicious republic in Greece; such men as he, dry and chilly disciplinarians whom fame unwillingly shines upon,' led the troops of the great Harem towns.' Dien like Wellington, traffickers in war, are precisely the men whom a nation of shopkeepers are certain to evolve—a man who manages his troops well, but would evidently manage a counting-house better. Wellington never laboured for a moment under the delusion that makes young and genere.us hearts consider the pomp, pride, and circumstances of war as something glorious and ennobling. He was no boiling enthusiast—tie was cold, rigid, and calculating—in a word, the Iron Duke. He devoted himself to the English service, and they paid him with riches; but now that he is dead they cannot give him eloquent praise, for they are an ineloquent people. They hired him an Irishman, to fight the French—they would now require to hire another stranger —a Canning for instance—to pronounce an adequate funeral oration over his corse—tor the English boors can neither speak nor fight as more gifted nations do."

Marcel proposes to exhibit those models at the Great National Exhibition next year, when the Dublin artisans, as well as amateurs in practical mechanics, may anticipate the same valuable exposition as that presented at Cork. —Saunders' News-Letter.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2'2,, 1852. STATE OF TRADE (From the Manchester Guardiun of this day.) uEsioAv.— lt i s now seen that a wise n sT was T exercised last week in receiving the American accounts of damage to the cotton crop with large allowance for that exaggeration which belongs to the subject, the season, and the quarter from whence it comes. T his is evident from the advices received yesterday ;, and the storm, it appears, has been followed by highly favourable weather. New co tton was coming freely into New Orleans, which rendered prices th ere somewhat irregular, and rather in favour of buyers; while, at New York, there was a decline of t to Ic. per lb. Still; many of the estimates of the crop were ranging as low as 2,800,000 bales. The effect which this complete correction of the previous unfavourable statements h a s produced in Liverpool, appears to be negative only, preventing that speculative advance which was ready to ensue upon their confirmation. That mar ket is reported as quiet but firm. As the slight sti mulus imparted to our market, a week ago, by the reports in question, had entirely subsided by Satur day last, the business of to-day has been little in fluenced by these later advices so far, however, as any effect is produced, it is in the direction of quiet ness. The cautiousness of the buyers has been ex cex- citedafresh ; and they have shown rather less dispo sition than before to enter into engagements. The transactions are, therefore, but limited in their aggre gate amount ; and those counts of water twist, whether in warp or bundle, which have latterly betrayed some degree of weakness, are certainly not im proved, though they are not perhaps any lower than they were a few days back. Cops are firm, but greater wariness is shown in buying them ; and the same may be said of warps from 24's upwards. On the whole, the yarn market must be described as steady, being supported by the contracts in the pro ducers' hands rather than by the existing disposition to purchase. In spinnings for the East alone is there any amendment. As the letters from Calcutta stute that some advance has taken place there in the prices of mule, from 40's upwards, a sufficient demand has arisen for those counts to add id. to their previous values. And, although the rates of exchange had receded two to three per cent., some little rise in the lighter 40-inch shirtings, as well as in jacconette, has led to an increase of business, and given a slightly favourable bias to prices. Other de scriptions of cloth are without change. The accounts from China show a decline in goods and yarns from over-supplies ; but the effect was countervailed, in part at least, by a higher exchange. This state of things in China has rendered the better 40-inch shirt ings rather duller, and contributed to the increased dullness of water twist. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a steady de mand for kerseys and coarse goods at last week's prices. The wool market continues much in the same state as it was the preceding week, with little change either in price or demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have had a very flat market to-day, and there has been scarcely any in quiry for any description of worsted goods. The yarn trade is rather more active, and the quotations exhibit a slight improvement. The transactions in wool are not extensive, and prices have an upward tendency. HIIDDE USTIELD, TIIESDAY.—There hes been decidedimprovement in our market to-day; more time.

He was a well known thief. Mr. TURNER sentenced him to two years imprison ment with heed labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward Tomlinson and George Tomlinson were charged with having committed a daring street rob bery. Mr. Philip Now, No. 18, Seymour-street, Euston square, said, about 1 o'clock on Monday morning he was passing through great Tichfield-street, when the prisoners came up and walked by his side. He had not proceeded very far before he was suddenly seized by one of the men, whom he strongly believed to be George Tomlinson, who held him tightly round the waist while the other man, who he also believed wee the other prisoner, robbed him of his gold watch and guard and then ran off. Prosecutor pursued, and saw the prisoner Edward Tomlinson pass something to the other prisoner. The prisoner Edward Tomlin son, seeing that he was pursued, turned round and struck him a blow which prevented him from con tinuing the pursuit, by which means the prisoner who had the watch escaped. The prisoner who struck him said to him, " We ain't going to rob you, but if you want a poke I'll give it to you." Prosecutor called for the police, and gave the prisoner Edward Tomlinson into custody. When the prisoner was searched a pocket handkerchief was found in his pos session which had been stolen from him. Police constable Langham, E 268, heard the cry of "Police," and on proceeding to the spot found the prosecutor and the prisoner Edward Tomlinson to gether. The prosecutor charged the prisoner with stealing his watch and guard. The prisoner replied, " You can charge me if you like, but the man who stole your watch has run off." Witness took the prisoner to the station-house, and on searching him found a silk handkerchief secreted between his shirt and the waistband of his trousers, which was owned by the prosecutor. A witness named Tozer said he saw two men walking on each side of the prosecutor, and he heard one say, "We do not want to rob you, but if you want a poke I'll give it to you." The prisoners re sembled the two men. In a few minutes he heard the cry of " Police," and saw one of the men running away. Police-constable Langham said he afterwards took the prisoner George Tomlinson into custody on a charge of assisting to rob the prosecutor of his watch. The prisoner denied the charge, but admitted he was with his brother in Great Titchfield-street between twelve and one o'clock on the Monday morning. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. MAR YLEBONE. Ellen Manning, a married woman, was brought up from the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse before Mr. Broughton, charged with having attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of oil of bitter almonds. George Kitchen, a youth living with his father, a greengrocer, High-street, Marylebone, said that about noon on the 9th of September he wes in Northum berland-street, New-road, when, on passing the de fendant, he heard her exclaim, " I have got something in my hand which will do for me." She then put a bottle to her mouth, which he endeavoured to seize hold of, but he was unsuccessful, and she drank the whole of the contents. She flung the bottle into the road, and almost instantly fell on the step of a door. He called a policeman, who went to her assistance. Policeman Beck, 290 D, produced an ounce phial, which had on it a label with the name of " Grallard, 30, Lisson-grove,—Poison." He stated that he found the defendant insensible, and that he took her to the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse, where she was immediately attended to. Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the stomach-pump or an emetic was applied ?—Mr. Messer, relieving of of the pari ffi sh, who accompanied defendant to the court, replied in the negative, and stated that a new process was used, by means of galvanism, when she was found to have taken oil of bitter almonds. Mr. BROUGHTON—What! from a galvanic bat tery ? Mr. Messer—Yes, Sir. Mr. BROUGHTON— In hat way &es it act? Did it causes her to vomit ? Mr. Messer—lt causes the stomach to resume its muscular action, when the pa tient vomits the whole of the poison. It is considered a more efficacious application than the stomach-pump. It was the first time it had been used at the infirmary. Mr. BROUGHTON—Is it a painful operation ? Mr. Messer—No, Sir. It produces a slight shock to the system. Mr. BROUGHTON—How long was it before the bat tery was applied after her admission? Mr. Messer — Immediately. When brought in she was in a state of paralysis, and she would have died but for the prompt attention of the two medical officers, who succeeded in restoring her to consciousness. The defendant stated that she swallowed sixpenny worth of the oil of bitter almonds. Mr. BROUGHTON—Why did you take the poison ? Defendant stated that she did not live with her hus band, who allowed her 10s. a-week. She met him in Hanover-square last Friday three weeks, when she wanted him to supply her with some furniture, which he declined to do. They had then some altercation, and she had been unhappy in her mind ever since, when she determined to destroy herself. The doctors were very kind to her. Mr. Messer said the defendant's husband wes a tailor, and had a salary of four guineas a week. The brother of the defendant agreed to take her to his house and she was discharged. WOFSHIP-STREET. Elizabeth Hastings and James Jackson, the former a woman of notorious character, were charged with assault and robbery. A person named Sullivan was proceeding on his way home through Commercial-street, Whitechapel, at a late hour on the preceding night, when he was accosted by the female prisoner, who forced her con versation upon him, and ultimately induced him to see her to her lodgings. These were in a house of a very infamous description, in a place called George yard ; and the prosecutor had been no sooner shown into a parlour than the woman attempted to rob him. This proceeding he resisted as well as he could, and tried to push her away from him, but she immediately placed her back firmly against the door, grasped him tightly by the hair of his head, and, a violent struggle ensuing hetween them, in the course of which the prosecutor made vigorous efforts to re lease himself from her clutches and escape from the place, the women, on seeing that he was likely to do so, partially opened the door, and shouted out " Barney, Barney," as loud P. 5 she could. This signal was immediately answered by the door being burst in and the sudden appearance of the male pri soner, who, without uttering a word to the prose cutor, dealt him such a heavy blow on the side of his head that, notwithstanding his female confederate still retained her grasp of the prosecutor's hair, he in stantly dropped to the floor. Both prisoners then rifled his pockets of all the money he had about him and rushed upstairs, and the prosecutor, upon recovering his feet and scattered senses, made the best of his way to the street door, upon reaching which be called lustily for the police, and never left off until a constable made his appearance. Both then re-entered the house to gether, and upon examining one of the upper rooms discovered the two prisoners, who were at once given in charge. The male prisoner wes then questioned as to what money he had about him, and replied that he had only 84., which he had received at the docks, in his fob, but upon searching his pockets a quantity of loose silver was found in one of them, the coins of which exactly tallied with those the prosecutor had been robbed of, and they were both thereupon trans ferred to the station. When called upon for their defence the male pri soner protested his innocence, declaring that he only pushed the prosecutor away from his confederate, but had not struck him ; and the woman having denied all participation in the robbery, and alleged that the prosecutor had first struck her violently without the slightest provocation and then flung her heavily over the fender, but both which statements the prosecutor assured the magistrate were without the slightest foundation. Mr. D ' EYNCOURT ordered the depositions to be taken, and they were each fully committed to New gate for trial. THE TRIAL OP ' CORNELIUS JULIUS TRIPE AND HENRY GRAHAM MONTAGUE, (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The Learned RECORDER summed up the case in a clear and concise manner. He said, that although the trial had occupied a very long time, he felt certain that no one would begrudge that time, for it had un doubtedly been a most wholesome inquiry. The dis closures that had taken place would no doubt operate as a caution to persons who were inclined to lend their capital to establish public companies of this or any other description to be careful who the parties were with whom they associated themselves, and it would also be a caution to their poorer countrymen, such great numbers of whom were at this moment anxious to leave our shores in the hope of bettering their condition in another country, not to be led away by the inducements of disreputable persons to part with their money, but to take care to place themselves in communication either with some agent of the Government for emigration purposes or else apply to some responsible party, and that these were the only modes in which they could carry out their intention without risk of being defrauded. Some strong observations had been made by the defendant's counsel upon the absence of some of the gentlemen whose names had appeared as directors of this com pany, and he must say that, with regard to two of them, Major Hawkes and Captain Smith, who ap peared to have taken an active part in the proceed ings, and the former of whom appeared to have been the first to direct the attention of Mr. Dawson to the subject of the company, it would have been sa tisfactory if they had been called as witnesses on the present occasion. There was no evidence whatever to show whether the company was originally projec ted by these gentlemen, or whether, in point of fact, the defendant had originally suggested its for mation, and endeavoured to induce them to join them in carrying it out; and if either Major Hawkes or Captain Smith had been examined, that point would, at all event', have been cleared up. He must remark, however, that it did not appear to him to be the duty of the prosecution to call those gentlemen; and, if their evidence had been considered really material for the defendants, it was their duty to have taken the proper steps to procure their attendance. The Learned Re corder then said, that it was not customary to make observations upon the conduct of a magistrate, but in the present instance, as a good many remarks had been made upon the course that was taken by Sir Robert Carden in connexion with the inquiry at the Mansion-house, he thought it right to say that it ap peared to him that the proceeding of summoning all the gentlemen who seemed to be connected with the transaction, with a view to make the necessary inqui ries of them, was the best that could be adopted, and the most likely to enable a magistrate to arrive at the truth of the matter. The jury, after deliberating nearly an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty against both the defendants. There were other indictments of a similar nature against them that were not proceeded with. Judgment was postponed. Matthew Hayes, 28, was indicted for . the man slaughter of John Evans. Mr. RYLAND, who held the depositions by direction of the Court, said it appeared to him the evidence was utterly insufficient to support the charge, and he should therefore, with the sanction of the Court, de cline to call the witnesses. _ _ A verdict of Not Guilty was consequently taken. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept : 21. Before Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of l‘lgistrates, al the Guildhall, Westminster.) THE BRIGHTON CARD CHEATING CASE. in the course of the day ;;;;;TOf the grand jury came into Court, and the foreman, addressing the Learned Chairman, said that they had just had a bill presented which they felt some difficulty in dealing with, and they therefore requested that the Court would give them the assistance of a solicitor, or some person qualified to explain the nature of it. Mr. WITHAM inquired what the bill was about ? The foreman replied that it was about Broome's affair. Mr. METCALFE said that this course was frequently adopted at the Central Criminal Court, where an officer of the court always gave such information of this nature as the grand jury required. The indict ment in question charged the defendant with a con spiracy to defeat the ends of justice, by keeping out of the way of the prosecutor and other persons in connexion with the late triel. He was perfectly clear from the decision arrived at in the case of Sill the other day that the prosecutor was victimised, and a man was not to be ci ushed because he happened to be a prizefighter. There had ben no bill preferred for this offence, or against these persons before, either at this court or the Central Criminal Court. Mr. WerraAai said that the grand jury must do the best they could, for he could make no order for as sistance to be given. There had been three or four bills found here before in this case, all of which had been removed to the Central Criminal Court, or else where, and they might have taken this one there es well. The Foreman said they could not help that ; they had the bill before them, and really did not under stand it. What were they to do ? Mr. WITHAM said they might do the best they could. The prosecutor bad had four bills already, and be might have taken the present one to the Cen tral Criminal Court. Mr. METCALFE must say this appeared to him a strange proceeding on the part of the Chairman. A man had a right to go to whatever court he pleased. A jury had already decided that the prosecutor was an injured man, and he (Mr. Metcalfe) felt bound to say that he thought it most improper for the Chairman to refuse the request of the grand jury, and to cast relections on the prosecutor. The Foreman explained that they only requested the attendance of a solicitor at the investigation to know what they were to do. All they wanted was an explanation of the indictment, which they did not understand. When a bill was presented to them which was founded on a committal by a magistrate, they had the advantage of his judgment in forming their opinion ; but in this case they had nothing of the sort, and they therefore asked for the assistance of a competent person to explain. Mr. WITHAM said the bill might have been pre ferred at the Central Criminel. Court, and he could not comply with their request. Mr. METCALFE said he should formally apply to the Court that the solicitor for the prosecution might attend the grand jury merely to explain the indict ment. The grand jury did not require him to remain or submit the evidence or further guide their opinion. Mr. WITHAM repeated his decision. Mr. METCALFE considered that it was very extra ordinary conduct on the part of a judge, when a grand jury brought a bill into court and said they did not understand the nature of the offence charged, and asked for assistance from the Court, that they should be refused the assistance of the officer of the court or any other parson to give the required infor mation ; and the prosecutor be told that he might have gone to another court. It was throwing an imputation on the conduct of the prosecutor, who was a very respectable man. There were days when judges have told grand juries that they must find a bill, but those times were now passed by, and should never be revived. Mr. WITHAM would not alter his decision. The Foreman having said that they should not have made the request had they not known that such as sistance was afforded at the Central Criminal Court, retired with his brother jurors. About an hour later they returned into court with some bills ; among them was one against William Hamp, William Watkins, and Charles Proberts for misdemeanour, which was returned ignored. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. TURNER.) Caulfield Percy, aged 26, was indicted for having stolen a letter and a post-office order for 51,, the pro perty of John Ayliff. The prosecutor was a gentleman's servant out of place, and lived at a coffee-shop in Dean street, Soho, where the prisoner also lodged. According to the prisoner's statement, he was the prosecutor's ad viser, amanuensis, and confidential man, and it ap peared that he was aware that the prosecutor wes ex pecting a remittance of 51. from his brother-in-law, who lived near Richmond in Yorkshire, and conse- quently he kept a bright look out for the postman. One morning the expected letter was delivered, and the prisoner, who was waiting to receive it, took it and feigned to carry it upstairs to the prosecutor. The prosecutor never received it, bat on the same day the order was presented at the office in Broad-street, Bloomsbury, signed " John Ayliff," and as that was the name contained in the letter of advice, it was paid to the person presenting it. The clerk could not say that the prisoner was the individual who re ceived the money, but the inference was that he had stolen the letter and forged the prosecutor's name to the order. The prisoner about whom there seemed a g :e at deal of plausibility and cunning, made a long defence, in the course of which he said that the prosecutor was concerned in racing matters with a " s p ort ing prophet" who was in the service of the Mar qu i s of Salisbury. He denied having had the letter. At the request of the jury , t he witness who proved that the prisoner took up the letter was recal led. — He swore that the postman ca lled out, " A letter for letterA yli f f have e n b een which waiting t hci for;' prisoner and a slid, " That is the t once went out as if to go upstairs. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and Mr. TURNER sentenced him to nine months' impri sonment with hard labour. Francis Isaacs was convicted of having unlawfully of Maria Andrews, a entered the dwelling-house ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. On Monday, a . t the Lambeth Police Court, Richard Perry, 54, described as a labourer, residing at No. 22, Broad-street, Lambeth, was charged with having caused the death of Jane Perry, his wife, by striking her on the head and body in a frightful manner.

THAMES. Georgio Sarmorgortawich, an Austrian seaman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal ing three sovereigns from the person of Pietro Mori, a Spanish seaman belonging to the Spanish ship Theatea, lying in the London Docks. The prosecutor stated, through the medium of an interpreter, that about 12 months ago, when be was in the port of London, he met the prisoner, w ho until then was a stranger to him, and after they had , been drinking together for an hour or two they hired beds in the[same room, where they slept all night, or rather he slept pretty well himself, but the prisoner did not sleep at all, for he was very restless indeed, and walked about the room nearly the whole night. In the morning he accompanied the prisoner to a public house, and had breakfast. His money, consisting o f three sovereigns and some silver, was deposited in a corner of a silk handkerchief. After breakfast he took the handkerchief out of his pocket to p a y the reckoning, and after he had done so returned the handkerchief and the money to his waistcoat-pocket. The prisoner immediately ek etht,eahnaan beforedkerchiheef containing the m one y out of his po c ket, could recover from his surprise darted out of the room and was soon out of sight.
