A commission de Lunatico Inquirendo was opened on Thursday morning, at ten o'clock, before Francis Barlow, Esq., one of the Masters in Lunacy, and a jury of seven teen gentlemen of the county of Middlesex, at the Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's-wood, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. Sarah Westbrook, of High-street, Port land-town, widow. The commission was sued out by Mr. J. French, the heir-at-law, and cousin to the al leged lunatic. Mr. CHAMBERS, in support of the commission, stated that the present proceeding was taken by order of the Crown, through the Chancellor. It would seem that the lady evinced imbecility during her childhood. Having been at school she returned home to her father's house, who was a man of some pro perty, and whilst there she was most indecorous in her conduct. It was thought a change by marriage would alter her state of mind, and a person of the name of Westbrook was introduced to her, and allowed to marry her, the brother, Mr. Edmund French, allowing there 1001. per annum to live upon. Westbrook and his wife went to live in a small oottage at Acton, where she was not capable of attending to the domestic duties of the house. Her husband was compelled to sweep and clean it whilst she went about the village in the filthiest state. On one occasion she had been to London in a coach, and because the driver did not stop opposite the lane where she lived, she cried out at the top of her voice "murder" several times. In the year 1841 her husband died, and only an hour before his death Mrs. Westbrook tried to pull him out of bed, telling the surgeon, who ar rived opportunely to prevent her, that he had better get up and take a walk. She appeared so imbecile, that after his death she could not perform the proper offices for the dead, and a neighbour was called in to do it. After this her brother took her to his own home, with a view of having her taken better care of. The brother thought it advisable to lime a person to take care of her, and for that purpose engage d a Mrs. Adams. With this person she remained until very recently, and the jury would find that she had been got out of her custody under extraordinary circumstances. In April, 184.5. her brother, Mr. Edmund French, died. He had lived rather penuriously, and left property amountieg to between 15,0001. and 20,0004 Mr. Richard Kirkham Lane being his solicitor. For some time after the brother's death, Mrs. Adams still had the care of Mrs. Westbrook, the property all coming into the possession of that lady. A house was then taken for her next to Mrs. Adams', and a carriage, which was not worth more than 301. or 401., was purchased for 801. In Feb., 1846, a person of the name of Wood was introduced to Mrs. Westbrook, and from that time to this she has remained at the residence of Mrs. Westbrook, telling that lady she had been sent by a "supreme power to take care of her ;" and having a fearful control over that lady. The unfortunate lady had frequently said that Mrs. Wood would not let her do anything. Two young men were introduced of the names of Marsh and Osborn ; one a journeyman saddler, and the other a waiter, who made love to Mrs. West brook, taking her to Cremorne-gardens, Vauxhall, and other places of amusement. Before the witnesses were examused Mrs. Westbrook was introduced, and took her seat by the side of the Learned Commissioner. She was most fashionably and elegantly attired. During the whole proceedings she was very loquacious. After the evidence by which these facts were elicited, the case was adjourned. THE MOORS.—The accounts from the moors describe the opening of this season as a most propitious one. Inver ness-shire would appear to be for the present the head-quar ters. Amongst those there enjoying the sports of the season, are Viscount Milton. Lord Gifft•rd, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord Lovat, Lord E. Hill, Sir H. Meux, and several eminent barristers and solicitors, &c., from,LOndon. TURNIP DlSEASE.—Apprehensions have for some time past been entertained of the failure of the turnip erops this season, which have unfortunately been realised in those , brought within the last few days into the London markets. The tops first become affected, the disease fast spreading to the root as in the potato, THE HARVEST IN WEST-KENT.—The harvest may now be reported as finished - throu4bout West Kent, for only a very small portion of barley and a feWs.beatis (or rather bean stalks, for late-sown beans are a general failure) remain in the fields. Upon the whole, the corn has been got in in good condition, both for the flail and for the mill. In many cases where the new wheat Las been thrashed, the yield is not so great as expected, although the quality of the grain is good. The backward turnips are growing fast, and will produce some feed; those sown on the stubble are already being hoed out, and where the land is in good heart look, very promising. Where the land is good and clean farmers might extend with advantage the system of sowing turnips on stubbles, particularly after early har vests, by being careful to select the early store, or as it is sometimes called the six-weeks turnip, which is found to answer well when sown after a scarifier, or even by being harrowed in without ploughing. The potato crop has again been struck with the same blight as prevailed last year. Its attack was suddenly apparent about the first or second week in August. In the course of about three days the haulm, which before looked green and luxuriant, changed and became black and rotten, but in many cases, even where the bine was in this state, the potatoes have proved to be in a more sound state than generally resulted from similar ap pearances last y ear . The breadth planted this year is very small. Theoctois of marigold are improving. The hops have made a vigorous effort at the latter end of their growth, and where the bine has notsuffered too much from the blight or vermin, the hops have grown large, and the crop is likely to exceed general expectation. Picking has now generally comnkenced. ExTENsivE 'SEIZURE or TOBACCO.—lnformation has been received by the Commissioners of the seizure of nearly 6,0001b5. of tobacco in the leaf, near the coast, at Boston, Lincolnshire, by Mr. Glendon, of the coast guard station. The tobacco was found in a stable near the sea, supposed to have been run ashore from a small open boat, which arrived a short time before from Holland. This valuable prime, it would appear, had been deposited in an out house until a favourable opportunity presented itself of finding a market for it. The vessel supposed to have been used in bringing it over was left in the harbour, and has since been taken pos session of by the Custom-house officers, and if no claimant appears for it before Monday next it will be condemned and sold. The quantity of tobacco smuggled into England on this coast has been very great for several years, notwithstand ing the increased vigilance of the coast-guard establishment and the customs authorities. THE DOMESTIC CAT IN INDIA. Mr. Jaeob, in his account of Jessor, says, "The European domestic cat, when introduced into this country, seems endowed with the power of destroying snakes as she would have done mice at home ; no sooner does one make its appearance in a house or com pound. than she pounces on it, and, after shaking it awhile, tosses it about, playing with it if allowed, the snake becoming ao terrified as never to attempt to bite her." QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGHAM.—The annual meeting of the governors of Queen's College was held on Thursday in the theatre of that institution. Mr. G. F. Mentz, M.P., occupied the chair. The report read congra tulated the governors upon the successful progress of tbs college, and particularly eulogised the unwearied exertions of Mr. Sands Cox, the Dean of Faculty, its founder. The officers and council of last year were re-appointed, and a vote of thanks being passed to Mr. Muntz for his conduct in the chair, the meeting broke up. The proceedings were altoge ther formal. FIRE IN SHADWELL.—OR Thursday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Charles Watson, a grocer and . cheesemonger, No. 62, Hiuh-street, Shadwell. It was first' discovered by the policeman on the beat, who saw a strong light in the shop, and gave an immediate alarm. The Shadwell parish engine and the brigade engines from Well close-square and Ratcliff, shortly arrived, and by the exer tions of the firemen the mischief was confined to the shop and parlour, and the flames were _prevented from extending to the upper part of the house. The stock in trade in the shop and warehouse was either destroyed or spoiled, and a good deal of injury was done_hy the immense quantity of water poured into the house by the engines, and which com pletely flooded the apartments over the shop and parlour. There was, however, no other way of extinguishing the flames, which at one time threatened the destruction of the adjoining houses. Mr. Watson is fortunately insured to the full amount of his loss. UNITED STATES.—LIVERPOOL, THITRSDIY.—Th e Thomas Cope, Captain Turley, arrived here from Philadel phia, but as she sailed therefrom on the Ist inst., her news has been anticipated by the Great Britain. The Hibernia ateamer, from Halifax and Boston, now out 17 days, is ex peoted early in the morning ; she will bring 15 days later beini butctos OP A NAVAL OFnCEII.—Ou Thursday an in quest was held at the Windmill public-house, Robert-street. Limehonse, before Mr. W. Baker, junior, concerning the death of William Henry Marlow, aged 39, residing at No. 9, Hawthorn-place, Commercial-road. It appeared from the evidence that the dwpesed was a captain in the West India service, and had been out of employ for some time past. About four years ago the deceased was wrecked in a ship of which he was commander, and ever since that period he has been very low and desponding, having been disappointed in getting the command of two or three ships. This appeared to prey upon his mind, and on Wednesday he purchased an ounce of arsenic, at Mr. Frederick Elsom's, a chemist, and said it was to destroy rata on board a ship. On the same afternoon he was discovered in his bed-room, quite dead, with a glass containing arsenic by his aids. yerdittr—Tem- PorarY LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, August 28.

IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM CROWTHER, A PRISONER IN YORK CASTLE.-IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO POWER OF COMMISSIONER OF BANKRUPTS TO COMMIT FOR NON PAYMENT OF COSTS. This was an application to discharge the above-mimed prisoner, who was the baliff of the Honour of Pontefract; in the West Riding of the county of York, ow. of the custody of the gaoler of Ycrk Castle, he having been committed to that prison upon a warrant issued by Mr. Commissioner Burge, the commissioner of the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, for contempt of Court, in not obeying and observing the order of that Court. The circumstances are, as shown by the affidavits used on both sides, as follow : " That Mr. Crowther was the baliff of the Court of the Honour of Pontefract, in the West Riding of the county of York, and in that capacity he, in pursuance of a warrant of execution duly issued out of that Court on a certain judgment recovered therein by one William Cole against John Pickles, a hairdresser, residing at Bradford, proceeded to levy 121. 18s. 3d. and costs. Upon the levy being made, Pickles stated that he had obtained an order of protection from the Leeds District Court of Bankruptcy, whereby all his goods and chattels were protected from all process, upon which Crowther (the prisoner) demanded to see the order, which was re fused by Pickles, and as no messenger was in possession under the insolvency, he (Crowther) proceeded to exe cute his warrant, and ultimately removed the goods immediately after which a complaint was made by Mr. Harle. of Leeds, the solicitor to the insolvent Pickles, to Mr. Commissioner Burge, who issued a summons on 13th of August, directed to the prisoner, to show cause why he so seized and carried away the goods and chat tels of Pickles, he being protected from process by the order of the Court. This summons not being obeyed, a warrant was issued by the Commissioner to apprehend and:bringNm'before the Court tosanswer t to the complaint, and on the 15th of August: he having been taken in custody, was taken before the Commissioner, who, after hearing all parties on the subject of the complaint, or dered and adjudged the prisoner to have been guilty of a gross contempt of his Court, by seizing and taking away the goods of John Pickles, and also ordered th« , prisoner to pay the costs occasioned by the application (amounting to nearly 201.) or, in default, to stand com mitted to York Castle. Mr. Crowther protested against the authority of the Commissioner to make such an order, and refused to comply therewith, upon which he was taken into custody and to York Castle, there to remain until he had paid the costs and purged the c( n tempt. Under these circumstances, an application was made to the Lord Chief Baron, on Saturday last, for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of the pri soner in order to his discharge cut of custody as to Re h commitment, when, after perusing the affidavit in sup port of the application, the Learned Judge granted his fiat for the issuing of the writ. In pursuance of this writ Mr. Crowther was brought up in custody of Mr. John Noble, the keeper of York Castle, yesterday, before Mr. Justice Erie, when that Learned Judge, after hearing Mr. Serjeant Chadwick Jones, who appeared in support of the commitment, and the solicitor for Mr. Crowther, made an order directing Mr. Crowther (the bailiff) to be discharged out of cus tody, on the ground that the warrant and commitment were bad on the face of them, the Learned Commis. sioner, Mr. Burge, having assumed a power will which he had not been invested by the Bankrupt or Insolvent Acts,—i. e., of awarding costs in the shape of damages for the improper, or, as it might be contended, illegal seizure, and in issuing his warrant of committal for the non-payment of such costs. The Learned JUDGE said he should give no opinion whether the seizure under the circumstances was a con tempt or not, or whether the Commissioner had the power of committal which he had exerciked ; it was clear, however, he had no power to commit for non payment of costs upon the authority of all the cases that had been brought before the courts of law. Mr. Crowther, who, of course, was in custody of the keeper of York Castle, was at once discharged. SECONDARIES' COUII7', August 28. There were only two cases set. down for hearing, and they were not of the slightest interest,. PALACE COUir i; August 28. (Before Mr. BRENT.) IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO PATENT MEDICINES. COLLINS V. VIDLER. The plaintiff, who is a surgeon at Camden Town, and pleaded his own case, sought to recover the sum of .41. 13s. for medicines supplied to the defendant. Mr. Hawkins conducted the defence. The plaintiff said that in 1843 he carried on business as a chemist and druggist, but has since become a member of the College of Surgeons. He had invented "a specific." and, in order to enable him to sell it, had taken out the usual license for the sale of patent medi cines, and defendant was supplied in due course with the different articles he asked for. The plaintiff's brother was called, and proved the de livery of the medicine, but positively denied that he ever cave defendant any advice. He always sold what was asked for without inquiring what it was for. They took it on their own responsibility. Other witnesses were called to prove an admission on the part of the defendant and a promise to pay. Mr. HAWKINS, for the defendant, contended that the license did not justify a druggist in selling his own spe cifics under colour of a patent, as there was advice given on the bottle, and it was therefore clearly an eva sion of the Act, which was passed for the protection of the lives and health of the public. It was a very dif ferent case from where a person sold the goods of another for profit, and had no reason to give advice. On that ground, therefore, he had to submit that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. The JUDGE said he felt of the same opinion, that it was an evasion, but would not non , :ult. Mr. HAWK/NS then insisted that to prove the II al valee of the medicine its ingredients ougLt to b• dis closed. The plaintiff refwed, and said it was a patent article, and had the stamp and label required by law, and which he wai entitled to sell. He did not claim it as a medical bill, but as for goods sold. Mr. HAWKINS next urged that if it cou'd be shown that advice was given during any period, then the plaintiff would have been acting as an apothecary. and not being one would be liable to a penalty, instead of being able to maintain an action. A witness was called who distinctly proved that advice was given. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and told the jury the question as to whether or not there had been an evasion of the Act, was one of law; but if, on the matter t , f fact, they believed that the plaintiff had not only sold the medicine, but given advice, they would find a verdict for the defendant. The jury consulted for about ten minutes, and then gave a verdict for defendant. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 26. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) Cornelius Cane was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Patrick Branan, at Manchester. - Mr. Cross was for the prosecution ; Mr. Pollock `or the defence. It appeared that the prisoner and Branan lodged at the house of a Mrs. Kirk, and, on the night in question, they both came home at a pretty late hour. The pri soner's brother was with them. The parties bad some ale, and while they were discussing it, a person of the name of Kelly, who was upstairs, came down and sat with them. The prisoner then began to sing a flash song, of which Branan disapproved, and told the pri soner he was not fit company for anybody. This, it would appear, had irritated the prisoner, and he retorted that he was better reared than Branan, that he had more money, and that he was better company into the bargain. Kelly recommended them to drop the subject, on which, turning on Kelly, he said—" I have had it in for you for seven years, and I will stick yo u before I leave the house." He some time after said, "Martin, you are a pig -butcher, and I'm one too, and I'll open you and Pat Branan before you leave the house." Branan was then putting on his shoes to go away,ex pressine his dislike to this disturber' -e, when Mrs. Kirk inter fered; and after a sort of scuffle, all parties got to the door. The policeman came up and advised them to be quiet. They all then went back into the house, on which the prisoner ran up the stairs, and said he would cleave any one who followed him. Mrs. Kirk was at this time insisting on his leaving the house, and called to Branan to assist her in putting him out. Branan took bold of him by one arm and Mrs. Kirk by the other, and all the parties got together in a kind of melE in the ball, in the course of which the prisoner struck Branan with a knife on the left side of the neck. The knife proved to be a case knife, which a short time before had been in the kitchen. The wound inflicted was a very serious one, being three inches long and two deep, wounding the windpipe. He was for some time in danger. Verdict—Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that he per ceived with disgust and horror that the practice of using the knife in quarrels was increasing, and so far as lay in his power ho would endeavour to put it down.—To be transported fur 14 years. (Before Mr. Justice. CRESSWELL.) BELL V. HARRISON. This was one of several actions in the cause list by the public officer of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Joint- Stock Bank, against the customers of that concern, the affairs of which are now in course of being wound up. The present action was to recover abalance on a banking account. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Unthank were for the plaintiff; Mr. Martin and Mr. Warren for the defoldant. It appeared, that in August, 1845, the defendant entered into an agreement for a partnership with a per son of the name of Kirk, in the Farnacre colliery. For this he was to pay 7,0001. Kirk had had previously an account with the bank, under the name of Kirk and Co., which, after the partnership, was altered into Harrison, Kirk and Co. It appeared that the bank, at the time of the partnership, had a mortgage on the colliery for 20,000/., and on the 10th of October the defendant sent notice to the bank and to Mr. Kirk, that he would not carry out the agreement, as he had been led into it by misrepresentation and fraud. The question in dispute was simply whether the payments made Eluting the part nership by the firm were made to the general account, or were applied, as the bank alleged, to particular items. In the former case they would be applied to the first debits in the account, and would therefore reduce the gross amount of the credits previous to the 10th of October, when the notice was given. The defendant had paid 2021. into Court ; the balance claimed beyond that sum was 7341. The jury found that the payments were made on the general account. There was, however, still a balance of upwards of 200/. due by the defendant. Ver dict accordingly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. SENTENCES AND SESSIONAL RESULTS.

BLEWITT AGAIN.—On Thursday morning Mary Ann Biewitt, whose husband was shot by John Graham, in Drury-lane, on Saturday, April 25, was brought be fore Mr. Jardine charged with being drunk and disor derly. and also with committing two assaults under the following circumstances : A young female, named Ellen Kilday, stated that. about eight o'cleck on the previous evening she was standing at her door with her mother, in White Hart yard, Drury-lane, when the prisoner came up, and, without the slightest provocation on their part, coin menced abusing them. The landlord happened to pass at the moment, and the prisoner, addressing him, used a gross expression with regard to witness. Find ing that no notice was taken of her observation, she went away, but, returning in a short time, she renewed the abuse, making use of the foul,st language, upon which witness desired her to go about her business, as she did not wish to hold any conversa tion with a blackguard, when ale flew at her mother. accusing her of having sent in papers to the magistrates of this court to induce them not to allow a public sub scription to be raised for her, and assaulted her, but there being no policeman in the way, she left, and in a few minutes came back and committed an assault upon witness. Her disorderly conduct created the greatest confusion, and the house was obliged to be closed. Constable 52 F division said, that on one occasion hi. found the prisoner drunk, and on trying to get her away she abused him very much. He then went his rounds, and in ten minuti , s, having found her again creating a disturbance at the door of her lodgings, be took her into custody. On the way to the station she threw her self down, and caused a mob to assemble. She had been twice previously at the station, but was discharged on promising not to return to the same place, or cause any further disturbance. _ Inspector Logan said, that when the prisoner was hrww.ht to the station she was not only drunk but very violent. Lu answer to the charge, the prisoner said, that the witness's mother threatened to give her a " leg up" with the magistrate; and whenever she passed she cailed her foul names, although she never offered her the slightest offence. She was merely taking a bottle of ginger beer in a shop, when Mrs. Kilday assaulted her, and tore the bunch of hair produced from her head. She admitted having been convicted and fined at this court about seven nritiths back ft,r an assault, but that had nothing to du with the present charge. Mr. JARDINE asked the complainant if she was appre hensive that the prisoner was likely to repeat the offence? The complainant replied that she had no doubt of it, as she was constantly keeping the entire neighbourhood in an uproar. Mr. JARDINE said that she should be protected; and ordered the prisoner to find two sureties in the sum of 101. each, to keep the peace for three months. Bridget Sullivan, a decent looking Irishwoman, was charged with presenting a forged cheque fur 151. at the bank of Messrs. Cuutts and Co. Mr. Bl..nkinsop, a clerk and cashier at Messrs. Coutts and Co.'s, said that the prisoner came into the office yesterday afternoon, and presented a cheque f-r 15L in the name of the Dowager Marchioness of Queens berry, whose signature he immediately perceived to be a forgery. He asked the prisoner what she would have for it, and she said "gold." He asked her if it was for herself ? She said " No, it was fur a gentleman who met her in the street, and gave it to her to get cashed." He asked whether she knew him ? and she said " No." He then asked her to step into an inner • ffiee, and, on her doing so, detained her while he went for a policeman. James Godwin, porter at Messrs. Coutt's and Co.'s, gave evidence corroborative of that of Mr. Blenkinsop, and added that she gave him a minute description of the person of the gentleman who had given her the note. She said he was a tall, thin gentleman, with dark hair, and dressed in black. Policeman F 91 took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, being called on for her defence', said that what she had said to the witnesses was perfectly true. She had met the gentleman in the street, and asked him which was the way to Whitechapel. lie said " What are you going there for?" and she replied that her husband lived there. He said he would show her the way and she went with him till they came opposite to MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Sanderson ' a very fashionably-dressed young man, was charged with refusing to pay 2s. 10d. tor oysters and accompaniments, which had been swallowed by himself and a fair companion, at Harris's oyster rooms, No. 23, Haymarket, and also with assaulting the waiter. Wm. Cochrane, the waiter, said that between twelve and one o'clock yesterday, the defendant, who was accompanied by a female, came to his master's shop, and discussed a quantity of oysters, &c., and imbibed various potations of beer, ale, and gin and water (the liquors they paid the party supplying them for), but were in the act of leaving his master's shop without paying for the edibles, amounting to 2s. ; he interfered to stop the pri soner, who seised him by the collar and swung him violently round, and then struck him a violent blow in the face, at the same time saying that he had already paid, and if net it was only a debt, and dared him to give him into custody ; he became at length so very violent that lie was given into custody. Mr. Harris, the proprietor of the oyster-rooms, cor roborated his waiter's statement as to the assa tilt. Eliza Sims, the companion of the prisoner, and the partaker of the spoil, said that he paid the person who brought the ale, &c., 2s 10d. She knew that he irviti for the oysters, but did not know what, as she was asleep at the time. The prisoner said he had paid the 2s. 101 to one of the waiters. Cochrane said there was no waiter but himself at that part of the room. The prisoner then said he had paid it to the person who brought the ale, &c. The waiter who brought in the liquors proved that he was only paid Is. Id., in separate payments. •I'he prisoner still insisted that he had paid the 2s. 10d. Mr. tiArtnwicx, in indignant terms, characterised his attempt of throwing the imputation of having received the money upon a person who, it was proved, had never received it. lie was perfectly satisfied, from the evi dence, that the 2,10 d. bad not been paid to any one. fie should fine him 405., or twenty-one days' imprison • meat, for the assault ; and he wished it to be made ger•erally known to the horde of victimisers of this kind, that in any future similar cases he should inflict the full penalty of 51.—The fine was instantly paid.

Mr. BALLANTINE--There was evidence last week that your husband was standing over you and beating your head against the ground, and it was also stated that he beat his daughter too. Mrs. Stevens repeated that her husband never hurt her at all. Mr. BALLANTINE—HQ was caught in the act of ill using you, and now you come here to save him. Your head was cut open, woman. Mrs. Stevens—Yes, sir, I fell upon the fender; he did not hurt the at all. Mr. BALLANTINE—WeII, I don't believe you, but I must discharge this man. Take care, Mr. Stevens. you don't destroy this woman. This is not the first time you have been committing a similar irregularity, and if you do not mind what you are about, you will not only be committed to prison, but lose your license. I believe your conduct to this woman has been very bad indeed, but as she declines to make any charge against you, I cannot detain you any longer. Mr. Robinson, the prisoner's solicitor, promised there should be no further cause of complaint, and then alleged that while Stevens was sitting in the kitchen on Wednes day night a police-constable entered and equared at him arid challenged him to fight. The constable remained in the house some time, and tried to induce Stevens to com mit a hre'leh of the police. He hoped the Magistrate would not tolerate sus h conduct. Mr. BALLANTINE—CertainIy not. I suppose the charge will come before me in the regular way, and then I will hear it. Mr. Robinson said he intended to make a written complaint to the inspector, and the Magistrate would probably hear of the case again. All the parties then proceeded to the office of Mr. Macquard, the superintendent of the K division, when Stevens said he had•no charge to make, and it appeared the constable had not been guilty of . the conduct im puted to hirn. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMIT FEE ON PRINTING. The Select Committee appointed to assist Mr. Sp , aker in all matters which relate to the Printing executed by order of this House, and for the purpose of Select ing and Arranging for Printing Returns and Papers presented in pursuance of motions made by illetnbo-.~ of this House, which may be rererred to the said Committee ; have considered the several matters re ferred to them, and have agreed to the following report: — in discharge of the duties entrusted to them by the House, Mr. Speaker and the Printing Committee have been etriesvouring, for some years past, to introduce every practicable improvement in the form of printimr. Accounts and Fapers, and in the arrarrments and compression of their contents. The results which have already been attained induce your Committee to hope that, with the co-operation of the House, they may be enabled still further to improve the character of Parlia mentary Papers, and to effect a considerable pecuniary saving. There are three matters deserving special attention in any attempt to improve the s‘ stem of Parliamentary statistics :-Ist. Care in framing orders for returns ; 2dly. The preparation of blank forms ; and 3dly. The arrangement of the returns for printing. Each of these points has been recommended to the notice 4.f the House by committees in previous years ; and it may be desir able to state briefly the arrangements which have already been propose--d and carried into effect in con nexion with these objects. - In 1830, the Library Committee suggested, " That it be recommended to all Members intending to move for returns, in the first place to find out from the Librarian whether the saute return, either in form or !übvitnee. has not already been moved for and printed ; in which case such order may be so shaped by the Members as only tt embrace any new matter which may be requisite for the infOrrnation of .the House." It had previou-ly been by no means an uncommon practice for Members either to move for papers which had already been printed, or for information contained in documents which were before the House under other titles. The gradual adoption by Members, cf the advice of the Library Committee has not only prevented many papers from being moved for, but has introduced, more gene raily,•the pracice of ordering returns wt ich contain the required information in an improved form. But an, - .ther difficulty presented itself in the multiplication of bulky documents which were returned to the House, in compliance with its orders, ill-arranged, imperfect, and often unintelligible. These were constunly ordered to be printed, on tr.e motion of Members, without any previous examination, and these defects were not dis covered until the expense of printing them had been needlessly incurred. To obviate this evil, which was universally acknowledged, the Select Committee on Public Documents, in the Second Report in 1833, offered the following suggestions : The cost of printing might on many occasions be altogether saved, if the papers moved for by Members were placed in the Library, and an index made to afford a facility of reference : as this matter is arranged at present, it is difficult to refer to papers not printed, and many bulky returns are printed at a considerable ex pense, which are nut consulted by more than three or tour Members." The Standing Committee on the Library immediately to , ik the subject into consideration, and reported in 1834, " That by a recent arrangement, nil papers pre sented in pursuance of orders or of addros.es of the pause are depo4ted; i ir► the LibrAry (11.9. jig the current sessioit,.in order' to facilitate access to such as are not at once ordered to be printed. This regulation is particu larly offered to the attention of the House, as the ready inspection afforded by this arrangement may frequently either prevent the printing papers which do not convey the information sought, or may present the opportunity of abstracting from latuky returns all which may be ne cessary for the use of the House. This plan, it is hoped, has already had some effect in diminishing the quantity of printing." The Printing Committee, in 1841, having had their attention directed to the results of the plans which had been suggested by former Committees, and carried out under Mr. Speaker's superintendence ; and, considering that further advantages might be obtained by repeating former recommendations, and suggesting means for in creasing this efficiency, agreed to the following resolu tions : " Ist. That every Member be recommended, before he gives notice of a motion fora return, to consult the Li brarian of the House of Commons. "2dly. That after the order for a return has been made by the House, the Librarian do prepare, when ne eessary, a form, to be submitted to Mr. Speaker for his approval ; and that such form shall be forwarded, with the order, in the usual manner. _ "idly. That before any return which has been pre rented to the House shall be ordered to be printed, it shall be inspected by the Librarian, and approved by the Sp esker. " 4thly. That Mr. Speaker be requested to make such arrangements as may be necessary for giving effect to these res,lutions." Your Committee have reason to believe, that consider able advantage has already been derived from the sug gestions contained in the first and second of these reso lutions ; but they are anxions to. impress upon Members the expediency of availing themselves more generally of the assistance which they may obtain in the library, in framing the orders fur returns, and preparing suitable forms to accompany them. Mr. Speaker lost no time in carrying into effect, as far as possible, the resolutions of the Committee of 1841. In that year, however, he was unable to effect any material improvement in the system of preparing accounts and papers for printing ; but in succeeding years the ar rangements he has made have been very successful. *The printing of numerous returns has been altogether pre vented ; and the information contained in many papers has been arranged and abstracted in a most satisfactory manner. Great care has been taken in preparing sum maries, and in many cases the summaries alone have been printed. The more immediate object of these arrangements has been the improvement of the papers, and this object has often been attained where a diminution of the expense of printing was practicable ; but your Committee have much satisfaction in reporting, that this system of printing ab stracts of papers, recommended : by the Library Com mittee in 1834, has caused a considerable public saving. Mr. Speaker has laid before the Committee a return which has been prepared by his directien, by Mr. Han sard, showing the expense of printing each abstract which has been made, with an estimate of the expense which would have been incurred by printing the return in the form in which it had been presented to the House. From this statement it appesrs tha: at the end of the session of 1845, a saving had been effected of 7,1001. A saving of this amount in little more than four years, and produced in the printing of comparatively a small num ber of papers, lead your Committee to expect that in future a very considerable reduction of expense may be effected, by extending more generally the system of ab stracts to various classes of documents which they have hitherto thought it necessary to print in extenso, and by a more strict revision of all papers before they are ordered to be printed. Your Committee, therefore, earnestly recommend the perusal of the resolutiOns of the Printing Committee of 1841, and call the attention of the House to the fact, that whatever saving has been effected by abstracting the papers hitherto printed. the greatest public economy. as well as the most useful results, are to be expected from the manner of moving for accounts and papers in future. Your Committee further beg to remind the House, that, in, order to effect a practical reformation of the system of Parliamentary printing, the rule should be strictly adhered to of giving notice of any paper about to be moved for, in order that the House may have ample time to consider whether the information is al ratty on the table, and whether the expenses of collect ing it are not so great as to. render it necessary for the House to decline making their order for the production of the papers ; and the House should, in extreme cases, require from the Government their opinion as to the ex pediency of incurring the expense of procuring the in formation required. , Many papers are moved for during each session on matters purely local ; and it is suggested that gnat dis cretion should be used in sanctioning the production of such documents ; and that if ordered by, the House to lie on the table, the rule should be strict!} adhered to of leaving the manuscripts at all times open to inspection in the library, and of re fusing to print them for general eircula►,ion. It is also proposed that accounts relating to the print ing executed for the House should be presented in each session, *hich shall embrace, in detail, the expenses con. nected•with every Bill, report of Committee, or account and paper, as well as with the reports of Commissioners awl other papers which - are printed under the itmtiediatp superintendence of the Stationery-Office, in England, Ireland or Scotland. Your Committee, being entirely satisfied with the plan hitherto pursued, have again requested Mr. Sp,?-ker to make everyarrar,gement necessary for carrying out more fully the views of the Committee, and though an addi tionel annual expenditure may be thereby incurred, it is confidently expected that a saving will be ensured in the printing, far greater than any which has yet been effected. Aug. 25, 1846. MARKET NE WES- (YESTERDAY) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the present week have been small, and we had a very limited number of samples of that article here to-day; yet, owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work in the north of England, the demand was in a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline of is per quarter. In Foreign Wheat— the holders of which evinced a disposition to give way in price —next to nothing was doing. No new Barley at mar ket. Grinding Oats were quite as dear. In other kinds next to nothing passing. Superfine Malt was in fair request, at previous quotations; but other qualities commanded very little attention. Although the arrivals of Foreign Oats were large, the Oat trade was steady, at previous quotations. Beans, Peas, and Flour without alteration. ARRIVALS. Barloy.

On Thursday James SiliiiiSoll, a tradesman in Kent street, was charged, before Mr. Cottingham, with com mitting a violent assault on Eleanor Biag, under curious circumstinees. Miss Brag, a lady to whom the words " fair, fat, and forty," might be justly applied, stated that she was in troduced to the defendant by friends, who assured her that he would make a very comfortable husband for a woman possessed of a mild and amiable temper. know ing that she possessed those qualifications in an eminent degree, they carried on a courtship for some time, and she had no reason to repent of her choice until within the last few days, when the banns for the celebration of their marriage were put up at St. George's Church, and they were to have been united on Sunday lowa. On Thurseay last she was visited by her lover, who for some unaccountable cause began to abuse her, and ulti mately struck and kicked her, and she could assure the magistrate that she was still suffering from the eff-cts of his violence, as she could prove by the marks on her person. The defendant, who seemed to be suffering a good deal of mental anguish during hiss weetheart's sot tenient, at its coneusion declared that he was ready and willing to marry her that day, if she only promised to curb her temper. He then stated that a few evenings since he called upon Miss Brag rather later than usual, having been detained t.king a parting glass with a friend. The moment, however, he entered her apartment she began to abuse him, and, in fact, took more airs upon her•elf than a wife would presume to do ; and, not cont , nt with that, she flung some crockery articles at his head. from which he had a narrow escape of sustaining serious injury. He did seizes her arms to prevent further ads chief, and there might be marks of his grasp in securing her, but he could declare he did not do it in anger ; and as a proof that he still retained a .§trong affection for Miss Brag, he only anticipAttil the happy day when she changed it to ;Mrs. Smithson. He repeated that he was prepar. d to lead her at once to the hymeneal altar,- and had purchased the weddinge - ing, which he pulled out of his waistcoat pocket, and holding it between his finger and his thumb, exhibited it to the gazing multitude, whose attention was excited by the singularity of the case, exclaiming at the same time, "See there, that 13 a proof that I mean what I say. No other woman shall have the Lonour of wearing that ring on her finger ex cept Miss Brag."—(Laughter.) Mr. COTTINGIIABI said he thought if a reconciliation could be eff-cted between the parties it would be more prudent than punishing the detendant for the alleged assault, especially as he had evinced by his behaviour that day that he still retained a strong regard for the lady who had adopted the present proceedings. -The magistrate then appealed toMiss Brag, the complain-lit, to know if she was willing to forego the present pro ceedings, the defend4nt having expt essed his wiliingness to he married to her forthwith. Miss Brag, with emphasis—No, if he was hung wilt diamonds I would not marry him after such conduct. I feel thank'ul to your Worship for the kindness you have expressed in endeavouring to bring about a recon ciliation between us, but I should endanger my future happiness if I consented to be that man's wife (p,,intint: to the defendant) after the manner in which I have been treated., Here a scene occurred, the det.;nBlitit, on his i . chees ploring the complainant , to dismiss from her memory ibe trifling circumstance of Thursday 'light, and ono- to think of the happiness that was in store for them if she availed herself of the magistrate's kind advice. , Miss Brag, however, was obdurate, and refused to listen to the defendant's entreaties ; upon which the magistrate said, that under the very peculiar circum stances of the case he should let the matter stand over for a week, at,d probably before the expiration of that time the complainant would alter her mind on the subject. The parties then withdrew, Miss Brag flouncing out ut the Court, and not noticing the detendant. WANDSWORTH. William Johnson, an assistant at a shooting-gallery in .Battersea-tit-Ids, was charged before Mr. Paynter with unlawfully firing off a loaded gun in a public thoroughfare, and thereby wounding Major-General Parlby. sirs George of Hope-cottage, St. Peter's, Ha y mmersmith, stated that on e H,t nun St e a r n s Thursday last, between eleven an d t we l ve o ' c l oc k, he was on board the Bride iron steam-boat, Major-General Parlby being also on board, and sitting by him. The boat, which had come from Chelsea, was making for the pier :at Thames-bank, and had nearly come alongside when three men fired at a snipe on or near the beach. The shots were sensibly felt by several of the passengers, who were naturally alarmed. Major-General Parlby and another gentleman exclaimed that they were shut, and upon examination it turned out that a shot had struck the former below the left eye. The Major- General was reading a newspaper at the time, or the con sequences might have been serious. Upon looking to wards the shore, a distance of a very few yards, witness saw three men with guns, who had just been firing. The defendant was one of them. Witness had felt the shots strike on his hat and coat, he being with his back to the fields. When the boat gut alongside the pier witness disembarked and went in pursuit of the defendant, whom he saw run into the British Flag beershop. The de fendant did not deny having fired a gun when taxed with it. Cross-examined by the defendant's solicitor--The boat was not more than fifty feet from the snore, when the guns were fired. - He could swear that the shots that came to the head of the boat came from the, piece discharged by the defendant. Major. General Parlby stated that on Thursday last he was seated on the Bride steam boat reading a news paper, when he suddenly heard three distinct firings, and immediately felt that he had been shot in the cheek, some of the shot rattled against the paper he was read ing, and which he verily believed saved his eye. Upon looking towards the shore he saw three persons with guns in their hat:ds, but he could not swear that de fend:lnt was et e. He afterwards saw the defendant in the shooting gallery, and when taxed with the offence he denied it. The General observed that it was only the o'her day V:at a friend of his in the India board had his hued injured under similar circumstances. The defence set up by the solicitor was, that a mistake had 13: en tnede in the identity of the party, and he called two witnesses, who both positively swore ;hat only one man had fired, and he had discharged a double barrelled gun at the back of the shooting gallery, and afterwards ran away across the field. The defendant, who was employed to load the rifles in the gallery, only came out when he heard the report ; he was then clean ing a rifle. Mr. Ilineheliffe said the defendant was blind of one eye. and that made him so positive as to his identity. Mr. PAYNTER said that he had not the slightest doubt hut that the defendant was one of the parties firing on that occasion, and that it was he that had wounded Major- General Parlhy, and had there been a charge of shooting the General brought against the defendant in another c.airt, he was sure the jury would convict. lie should iefl:et the full penalty of 40se or three weeks' imprisonment, and he recommended the shooting gallery to be done away with, for it was evidently a most clan g, roes nuisance, and could be indicted as such. Mr. Dore, the proprietor, begged to assure the magis trate that he did not, as it had been previously stated, let out guns, and that several gentlemen had t , ,Id him the ealiery was a great benefit, inasmuch as it clear( d the fields and lanes of many who would otherwise be popping about them. Mr. l'Aem•ree was still of opinion that the establish ment of st7oeting-galleries, especially in such public places, was a nuisance, and then all ought to be abol ished. The fine was paid. THAMES. MURDEROUS A SSAULT.--Thursday John Sl,:vens, alh s Gipsey Stevens, the landlord of the Mulberry Tree public •house, ou Stepney-green, and the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor booth, erected at various subur ban fairs, appeared before Mr. Ballantine, to answer a charge of as , aulting end wounding his wife, Trinity Cooper Stevens. On the first examination of the prisoner, who is a powerful man, about fifty years of age, it was proved in evidence that he beat his wire in a very savage manner, that she was covered with blood, when a gentleman rescued her from her hushand's grasp, and that she had received a sever e wound on her head. She was taken to the hospital on the night of the affray, and a certificate 2,210 3,010 I Malt, 3,! SO qrs. is DIITIIPIELD. The supply of Beasts on offer was by no means extensive, yet the Beet trade was in a very inactive state, and in some instances the quotations had a downright tendency. We had on sale 61 Oxen from Spain, rid Southampton, 42 Oxen from Hamburgh, 115 Oxen and Cows, 687 Sheep and Lambs, and 55 Calves from Holland, in, for the most part, good con dition. The numbers of Sheep were not large, while the Mutton trade was very steady at fully Monday's currencies. In Lambs only a moderate * business was doing, yet priceF, were well supported. Prime smail Calves sold at a trifle more money, but the middling and inferior qualities of Veal hung on hand. The Pork trade was dull at late rates. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from 161 to 181 each, in cluding their small Calf ; Suckling Calves, 18s to 29s ; and quarter-old store Pigs, 16s to 19s each.

(From the London New Price Current of August 28.) SUGAR.—To-day there was little desire evinced to operate in West India Sugar, and prices are still lowering ; the quantity sold was only 250 hhds and tierces. The market closes with a quiet appearance for sugar, the produce of both free and slave labour. REFINED.—Tt: ere has been a considerable falling off in the demand for Refined goods for home consumption this week ; the refiners have been desirous to sell, and sub►nited to a rettuction in prices of 6d to is per cwt, still all descriptions have been sparingly dealt in. Treacle has not risen in value, but there has been a much better demand, and large parcels have been sold. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Bonded Crushed Sugar, but not at better prices. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with little attention, and 4,563 bags 296 casks at public sale went at a decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt. EAST afternoon Bengal Sugar was rot much in demand, and 4.540 bags at auction went 6d to is per cwt cheaper, but nearly the whole sold. Madras has declined in value Is. FOREIGN.— To-day Porto Rico Sugar was not so much in request, still 1,405 blids 164 barrels at auction were chiefly sold, and at prices that averaged those previously current. CorFEE.—This afternoon West India Coffee was sparingly dealt in, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 264 tierces and bags Jamaica, a small part only sold 2s under former rates. For Ceylon the market has a quiet appearance. TEA.—The market h, s presented a dull appearance all the week, and there is a larger quantity on offer piivately of all descriptions. Although there are sellers of Black upon rather lower terms, still the town and country trade operated with caution, taking only stra:ient for their immediate warts. Green Tea has met with little attention, and prices are going down. The trade generally hold a fair quantity of all kinds of Tea. Public sales will be declared shortly. RlCE.—There has been much inquiry after Bengal for home consumption as well as for exportation, and buyers are willing to pay a further advance, but the supply at market. being small, purchases of moment are prevented ; by private contract many parcels have been sold. Java is wanted, but the market is still without supply. There are many buyers of Madras at the high rates of 16s to 17s, but few parcels are to be had. Sricsts.—There has not been much desire manifested to operate privately in Cassia Lignea, and 100 chests at auction sold at barely previous rates. Black Pepper has not im proved in value, but there has been a brisker demand, and privately several parcels have been disposed of. SANTPETRE.—To-day Rough met with little attention pri vately, at public sale 1,255 bags of Calcutta were offered, and all taken in at easier rates. English Refined is still in goad demand, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda has been less in request, and prices have fallen. COHINKAL.—This afternoon there was little demand, and the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 112 bags ,:f Honduras, were only in part sold, at a fail on the former rates of 2d to 3d for the lower sorts of silvers, but in the value of the better kinds little variation took place; low foxy to good went at 4s 1 ld to 5s 9d. Srutri's.—lmporters of Jamaica — Rum are unwilling to reduce their prices, although the home and export demand has been limited for all descriptions; the purchases this week have not exceeded 100 puns. Lek ward Island has met with little attention, but prices eo not give way. For Calcutta Is 11 1 6 d to 2s are t' - ^ rates insisted upon for proof with certi ficate, but there are tew orders. Demerara is not cheaper, but the demand has been trifling. Brandy has been in excellent demand for borne consumption; several export orders w,..te -execttted,;indfurtler.,advanced rates giveii ; .the home con sumption is rapidly on the increase. Geneva has been larg4ly dealt in tor exportation, and higher rates are given. British Corn Spirits have been in excellent demand, and prices are firm. Ott s.—ln Rape Seed Oil sales to a large extent have been made and at firm rates. In Linseed Oil any further im provement has been prevented from taking place by the in creased quantity produced ; the demand from the home ' trade however has been good, but for exportation there has been scarcely any business transacted. Olive Oil has been extensively dealt in, and holders evince firmness. The parcels of Cocoa Nut Oil disposed of were at firm rates. Palm has met with a good demand. American Lard Oil has been sparingly dealt in. For Cod Oil the market has a dull appearance. There are very few shipping orders for Seal, and the home trade have operated with cau tion. Southern is not to be had upon lower terms, but only a limited business has been transacted.

CROYDON CATTLE MARKET.—Yesterday the sale of beasts was flat, the primest sorts made 3s. 4d. per stone ; some half fatted bullocks sold quick, the chief demand being for lambs, which the metropolitan butchers now seek at this market in preference to Smithfield, the former being supplied by the farmers near the locality, and the stock has less tra velling, which is advantageous to both buyer and seller. Good lambs maintained prices at 4s. Bd. per stone, and choice wether sheep averaged 4s. per stone. There were some well fatted calves sold at a rather low figure. UNEMPLOYED SEAMEN.—Lakwor in the vicinity of the docks is very plentiful, as well as employment for seamen, so much eo. that the average number of inmates at the Desti tute Sailors' Asylum in `Vella-street has not tor many weeks past exceeded twelve who areS chiefly inralida or perfectly destitute.
