The Moniteur publishes a decree creating two new professorships at the Conservatoire des Arts et tiers, one for all matters connected wi:h spinning and weaving, and the other for dying, printing, and dressing woven goods. Each of the professors will receive a salary of 5,000 francs per annum. M. Michel Alcan, Professor at the Central School of Arts and Manufactures, is appointed to the former, and M. Persoz, Professor of Chemistry at Strasburg, to the latter. The decrees come into operation on the Ist of January, 1653. According to letters from Toulon the squadron from Naples is expected in that port on the 20th. The fitting out of the Montebello is being carried on actively. It will be placed opposite the fort and il luminated in the fetes to be given to the Prince President. M. C. Abbatucci, Chef du Cabinet of the Minister cif, Justice, and Vice-President of the Council- General of Corsica, has been appointed a member of the commission charged to consider the best means of putting down bandittism in that island. The Official Gazette of Savoy, M. Ala deniza, Consul of France at Nice, has had his salary increased from 1 9 ,000 f. to 20,000 f. This increase is not, as might be supposed, an act of kindness of the President, whose dangers he had shared at Stras liUrg. It is a measure of precaution ; for with th e 1,500 refugees of the Var, the Bouches-du-lib one, and the Basses and Hautes-Alpes, the Consul of France requires greater means of surveillance th an hitherto ; his expenses are in fac `greater." The Gazette de Lyo n says:—At the last meeting of the iron masters a new fall took place in the price of cast iron. This appears in co n t ra di ct i on with the political calm w hich prevails, and with the real activity * 1 great undertakings. One sole reason caused the reduction, namely, the disquietude, felt as to the pro ject ascribed to the Government, not of absolutely adopting free trade principles, but of lowering the tariffs on the import of foreign iron. In spite of the assertion s persons persist i n the .LWoniteur, .many believin g that concessions will be made to England and Belgium ; and this faeJ, very generally spread, has sufficed to cause a fall. The price has been fixed at 165 f. the 100 kilo - grammes on fine cast iron of the decline first quality taken at the works, w hi c h makes 10e the prices o! , the fair at B esanc3n, an d sf. only on on that of Chalons. The equestrian statue of the Emperor Napoleon arrived at Lyons four days ago. The statue is to be inaugurated during the stay of the Prince President at Lyons. We read in the Akbar cf the 7th inst. : " The liberation of Abd-el-Kader has of late been talked of, on condition, it is true, of his removal to Mecca. Those rumours having obtained some credit, the Chamber of Commerce of Algiers, in the name of the interests it represents, has though: proper to ad dress to the Minister of War some pressing observa tions, which we fully approve. We informed that other Chambers of Commerce, that of Philippeville in particular, intend to combine their efforts with those already attempted to prevent the execution of a mea sure, witch, whatever may be said to the con trary, would be now dangerouAy premature. We do not precisely know what opinion is entertained in France as to the importance of that resolution, and the degree of confidence to be attached to the promises the Emir might make in order to obtain his liberty. But there is one thing certain, namely, that whatever may be the sincerity of the ex-Emir, and it will be agreed that, religiously or politically speaking, it is very doubtful, from tile manner in which he exe cut-ed the modest conditions of the treaty of the Tafna, and whatever good intentions he may have in that respect, it does not depend upon him not to be for us, in Algeria, a cause of disturbance and em barrassment. The moment he arrives at Mecca we shall have every day pious pilgrims returning from the lifo!y City, circulating, without his participation or knowledge, the most dangerous reports as to his in tentions. Our Arabs, fond of stories and credulous as they are, will have their eyes incessantly turned to that side ; and, we repeat it, it would be an eternal source of false rumours end agitation. Once more, we trust that the liberation of Abd-el-Kader will not take place." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) T return exhibits a further decli ne i n th e MOT* The deaths registered in the fir s t wee k o f Augus . eto 1,124 ; in the week that ended last Saturday (11th September) they fell to 936. The deaths among children under 15 years in the first week in August were 656; last week they were 485. These numbers indicate an improved state of health in tba infant part of the population, who suffer so much from the summer epidemic. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842 - 5 1 the average number of deaths was 1,119, which, With a correction for increased population, becomes 1,231. the 2,B6sBduetakhis .average is greatly augmented by , principally from cholera, that oc curred epidemic i n ha thioryspondin g week of 1849, after the attained its maximum and had begun tro subside.

At nacre- place, Lee, on .sth September, the son of a coachman, aged 9 months, " cholera infantum (2 days)." On the 9th September, at 1, Dawes-lane, Wal barn-green, the son of an Irish labourer, aged 3 years, died of " dysentery (4 weeks) low fever." The death of another child in the same lane, caused by pneumo nia, diartheva, and low fever, was recorded in the re turn for, the week ending the 4th September, where the sanitary condition of the place was described. In reference to the ca3e now registered the medical at tendant a This is another instance of an ordi nary at o" :—" owing tuci tractable e, disease degenerating into low fever, the registrar already mentioned."

" The me di ca l attendant writes on his certificate, that " the house and whole court are badly ventilated, Si.: p3r2ons in a family occupy one small room, and the room in a very bad state." On the 7th S2ptember, at I, Paul•square, Shore ditch, the wife of a porter, aged 69 years, died 6 , olc , l age and the bad smells of the house (5 months). , The medical attendant adds—" This is the second time I have lost a case in this house," At 3, Wilmer gardens, Haggerstone. ` Vest , on the 4th September, the son of a silversmith, age d 5 years, died of " scarlatina (5 weeks), meningitis (2 weeks)." Mr. Bowring, the deputy-registrar, states that " the Lous#s the hue no back yards, and the cesspool is THE SUN, in a cellar directly under the sleeping apartment." A child died also of scarlatina in College-place, High bury-vale. College place is described by Mr. But terfield as unhealthy. In the sub-district of Borough-road, at 2, Gold smith's-place, on sth September, the son of a labourer aged 3 years, died of "scarlatina (18 days), effusion." With reference to this and other cases, Mr. Elliott, the registrar, makes the following statement : "There are 14 houses in Goldsmith's-place, and four children died from scarlatina there during the last 8 weeks ; viz.:— " 17th July, female, 22 months, daughter of a fish salesman. "29th July, male, 2 years, son of a coppersmith. " Bth August, male, 9 months, son of a coffee roaster. " sth September, male, 3 years, son of a labou rer. " The informant in the last case stated that the drains of her house and water-closet are very offenive and this remark applies to the whole of the houses on one side ; she has one child, aged 2 years, now lying dangerously ill, and another of 6 years partially re covered ; the inhabitants of the whole of these houses have been more or less affected, and two persons have been removed to the hospital. I may add, that the entrance to Goldsmith's-place is by a narrow court from the Southwark -bridge-road. At the end of th e houses is a dust yard (in S t. Saviour's parish), and when the wind blows in the direction of Goldsmith's place the smells are almost suffocating, as the foul air cannot readily escape through the passage above-men tioned. Cholera was fatal just round this spot in 1849, and with the prospect of another visit it would be wise if the authorities would listen to the warning which these facts address to them." Three deaths were registered lasLwAeetkK a i l s b u c r a n u , s o e n d by carbuncle. They a re a s follow : 3d September, a farmer, aged 77 years, from " severe illness caused .by carbuncles in several parts of the body :(18 month); decay of nature." In Islington, on 7th September, a builder, aged 37 years, " ty phoid fever (8 days), carbuncle." In Gos well-street, on 4th September, a painter, aged 73 years, " car buncle of the neck (6 weeks)." On the 29th August, a woman, aged 44 years, was " accidentally c h o k ed while attempting to swal low a piece of beef." On the s;h September the son of a plasterer, aged 14 years, was found d ea d in th e Regent's Canal, Agar town, "from d rown i ng, h ow cause d un k nown ." Post mortem. Mr. Holl, the registrar, writes :—" The deceased :bad a scull of the most unusual size and shape, and during life, with the hair on, had a most extraordinary appearance. When alive he played with nearly as much activity as other boys, and did not complain of headache, or appear to suffer any par ticular pain or inconvenience. On the post-mortem examination there were discovered five pints and up wards of serum, the brain, which weighed 53 oz. troy, surrounding it. The skull was thin ; the measure ment as follows:—circumference, 271 inches ; across the top, from ear to ear, 17-} inches; from occiput to os nasi, 19i- inches. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING THE PAST WEEK. SUNDAY.—The sky was generally covered with cloud till noon, and also during the evening; between these times it was clear ; cumuli, cirrostrati, and light clouds. MONDAY.—The sky was for the most part covered with cloud throughout the day ; cirrostratus. Rain fell heavily after 9h. P.M. _ _ TUESDAY.—The sky was overcast throughout the day. Between 4h. P.M. snd sh. 30m. r.m. there was a thunder storm, and also a heavy fall of rain at 9h.r.m. WEI'NESDAY.—The sky was covered with cloud till even ing ; cumuli, cumulostrati, and cirrostrati. Frequent flashes of lightning after 7h. P.M. TIIURSDAY.—The sky was for the most part wholly covered with cloud till 6h.

P.m. generally, and clear afterwards; cirrostratus and scud. Rain fell frequently. Lightning was frequently seen during the evening. SATURDAY.—The sky was one-half covered with cloud till noon; generally covered from this time till 4h. r.m., and the amount was variable afterwards; cumulostrati and cirrostrati. ELECTRICITY.—Sept. 6th, Negative, and very active during the morning. This was the only exhibition of elec during the week at the times of examination. The mean reading of a thermometer placed on the main mast of the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, and read each day at 9h. A.M. was 62.2 Q ; and the mean reading at 9h. r.sa. was 60•3 Q ; the mean readings at the Royal Observatory for the same times were 61•2° and 58.8° respectively. The reading of the barometer decreased from 29.95 in. at the beginning of the week t o 29.81 i n . by 9h. A.M. on the 7th; it began to increase slowly after noon, and was 29'86 in. by 9h. r.m. on the Bth ; decreased to 29.67 in. by 3h. P.M. on the 10th; and increased to 29.74 in. by the end of the week. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—The hop picking has generally begun, but has been much retarded by the weather. In most places the growth is equal to expectation as to quantity ; the quality is various, and where there is the least unkindliness gets worse rapidly. Very fine samples will not be abundant, yet we shall grow many good hops. The College Ground, in which a begin ning was made yesterday, experienced judges say they never saw looking finer. CRANBROOK.—We never recollect the aroma more fragrant and rich, and a growth luxuriant in quan tity will be equalled if not surpassed id superiority of quality; this must turn out a gcod growth for the picker, as the hops are large and will require but few, comparatively speaking, to fill the bushel ; and also, as the " labourers are few," a remunerating price must be paid for picking. 'We doubt not that the price to the grower will be remunerative, especially as the small quantity of old hops on band must have the effect of rendering the present crop more valuable. CANTERBURY.—Picking is now becoming general in this neighbourhood. The hops look exceedingly well, and large in some grounds, while in o th ers t h e recent hot days with heavy rains, and damp f oggy nights, have had an injurious effect, resulting in the appearance of red mould. The yield is anticip a t e d t o reach about half a ton an acre, while the duty is esti mated at from 240,0001. to 250,0001. ASHFORD, SEPT. 9.—We never saw the hops look better than they do at present, the whole of the plan tations have a beautiful appearance, and the crop abundant ; picking is commenced ; no mould or dis ease whatever. TENTERDEN, SEPT. 9.—We are continuing to look well; the hops in most gardens have arrived at per fection, and picking has become general, with every prospect of an abundant crop. EAST SUTTON.—Our hops continuo to improve, and, generally speaking, are extraordinarily good ; the mould, however, is on the increase. Picking has commenced. EAST FARLEIGH.—The hops in our neighbourhood look well, but, in some plantations the mould is spread ing very fast We have commenced picking, an d i hope to realise a good crop. It s idle to attempt to set the duty at present, as everything depends on the weather. TUNBRIDGE, SEPT. 9.—We have an abundant crop of hops in this parish ; one garden near the town is estimated at 30 cwt. per acre. FARNHAM, SEPT. B.—Our town is filled with pickers, who are committing great havoc amo ng th e hops. The planters seem well contented with the growth this year, which has been unequalled here for some years. BouGHTON MONCHELSEA.—The h o p s i n our neigh bourhood are doing wonderfully well. Th e r e cer tainly is mould, but it does not much increase. We have commenced picking.—Kentish Gazette. the House of lW P PRT DUTIES.—FREE TRADE. Thou g h 50 often discussed there are members of who do Lot cla _, Commons, as well as people out of doors, Cus tomhouse duties witconfound reduction of all Cus e sessio n protection, anti ' v cy ho ootnprehend what is meant by of Wh h ic rotection. In the report of for revenue , the Committee presented Joint in th of 1840, the distinction Zy. Hume was chairman, the protective duties is clearly pd out between and the duties refer those who have " protective duties" they recommenduts. any ,daandb to that we would The former by low prices, the greatest consumption and the latter to be reduced to be repealed, to such a rate as to to the people, and by the same means an increased revenue to the state. The report states that " the tariff often aims at incompatible ends; the duti es are s ometimes m eant to be both productive of revenue and for protective objects, which are frequently inconsistent with each other : hence the duties sometimes operate to the complete exclusion of foreign produce, and thus injures the trade of the country; and often, when the duty is inordinately high, the amou ” nt of revenue becomes in consequence trifling. A broad distinction is drawn by the witnesses before the Import Committee between the duties charged upon articles imported of the same kind as those pro duced within the United Kingdom, whether menu • factured or agricultural, and all duties upon all such articles are, strictly speaking, for protection, and do in fact give pr o t ec ti on , t o the native producers, by which duty the price of such article is increased by the amou n t o f th e d uty, and the price to t h e consume r becomes much greater by th e i n di rec t t axa ti o n. The C ommitteel repealed recommended all th a t c l ass o f d u ti e s to be pealed ; and as far as those du • ties have been taken off, both the agriculturists and the manufacturers have felt the benefit of the removal of those protective duties in the diminution of prices at which, before the repeal o f = those d • p e _, , . duties, the articles were sold. Sir R. naa vl having tainiu become convinced of the .inipolicy cf these duties, removed all prohibitions and many of th g o have felt the se protective duties partially, and the public those eat and important effects of the repeal of prohibition s in the increaseoonfs and duties in the promotion of trade, and the P rotecti e o ulyloyment and in wages generally, n a i l ? now • admits the prosperity that now spreads over the industry of the nation save and except for the citalists a n d trades that wer e Protected.

OEB FALMOUTH,—Mermaid, Porto Rico, a n d s ki 1 for Btemeu. ... 1 Ti URS DAY of 1842 and subsequent years. There were in 1840 in the schedule of the Act 3 and 4 Wm. IV., c. 56, for consolidating the Customs duties, about 1,150 entries of different rates of duty chargeable on the several enumerated articles, and Mr. Hume then re commended that 1,000 of these entries should be re moved from the Customs' tariff; and he stated confidently tbat that might be done without loss to the revenue, and with great advantage to the com merce and to the consumers of the country. In the month before Parliament was dissolved in 1841, it will be seen by " Hansard," that Sir R. Peel attacked Mr. Hume about the proceedings of the Import Duties' Committee, and made jest to the House of the recommendation of Mr. Hume to remove 1,000 out of 1,150 entries in the Customs' import tariff, yet when h e t oo k o ffi ce, an d was o bli ge d to provide for the service of the year, he became a sin • cere convert to that opinion, and within the year after his return to office introduced Bills by which 600 or 700 of the entries of articles were removed from the tariff, and many others greatly modified. By the returns to Parliament, No. 141, of 1852, the aggregate amount of protective duties appears to have been 434,1541. on 233 manufactured articles ; and 916,4351. on 42 articles of agricultural produce, show ing the aggregate amount of protection to all kinds of imports was 1,350,589/. into the United Kingdom in the year ending the sth of Jan., 1851. Now that we have time to turn our attention to the future financial situation of the country, we would direct the attention of all classes to the case which Mr. Hume proposed for discussion in the last Parliament. The following was his notice of motion for Tue-- day, June 22, 1852, by Mr. Hume : That it appears, by returns (P. Paper 267, 267.11 of 1852) on the table of the House, that there are 233 entries in the Custom-house tariff list of foreign manu factured articles charged in the year 1851 with duties of import into the United Kingdom, varying in amount from one to fifty per cent. on the value of such articles, and such articles may be classed under five schedules cr lists, viz , producing in Impor Duty- Schedule. No. 1 each article pro- 129 articles pro ducing under clueing the ag £loo of duty gregate sum of £2,349 500 - 3... 1,000 4... 5 000 5...100,000 No. 233 7 3 And duty. 4 34 , 15 • t Also, that there are entries in the Custom-houso tariff of foreign agricultural produce charged with import duties varying in amount, and these articles may bo classed under six heads or schedules; namely, in Import Duty.

That this House will, at an early period, take into its consideration the inequality and injustice of the existing tariff on articles of import into this country, both of manufactures and agricultural produce, with the view of speedily removing the inequalities of import duties affecting unfairly every interest in the country. The object of Mr. Hume was to explain to the House and to the country that, although Sir H. Peel had struck off the tariff 600 or 700 extras in the customs imports, that there yet remain (and he has had them all stated in these returns to avoid cavil and opposition) 233 of manufactured, and 42 of agri cultural produce having a protection of near 1 mil lions sterling. Mr. Hume, in the last paragraph of his resolution, desires to pledge the House to an early co ns id e r a tion of those duties, with the view of carrying out free trade fully and completely,. as demanded by the agri cultural interests, as we think fairly and justly. We would recommend the Marquis of Granby and all that class of quondam protectionists (for we must suppose there are no Protectionists now in the Mi nistry) to examine those returns carefully, and to make the distinction between the articles imported and duties imposed for revenue, and those with du ties of a protective nature. We trust that the new Parliament will be soon called upon to make the dis tinction.—Morning Paper. THE METROPOLITAN MARKETS QUESTION. Mr. Secretary Walpole felt he was morally bound to allow the Corporation to set down the cattle-market nuisance in Copenhagen-fields, having, in fact, already agreed to it. Is the Homo Secretary under no moral obligations to the public? Why is ho morally bound down to Corporation abuses alone, if sheer neglect of his moral obligations to the public led to the moral error of agreeing to such a public nuisance? Is not such a morel error much more easily retractable in reality than a transaction involving moral corruption would have been? In their memorial to the Corporation the Cam den-town committee point attention to the fact, that should the Corporation persist, they will have to submit to very stringent by-laws, which must be approved by the Home Secretary; but is it possible that the Cam den-town committee can lean on that brittle reed after what has occurred? The public interests have already been betrayed in the much greater matter of the re establishment of the nuisance itself, nearly as much in the midst of the population as it was, and notwithstand ing the public battle that was deliberately fought to get rid of it: the disgusting object, though compel!, d to " move on," has plumped down again in the midst of the streets immediately the policeman's eye was for a mo ment off it. By-laws, they may depend on it, will not operate in terrorem on such a subject, We have more faith in the force of a full representation of the extent and intensity of the proposed nuisance made to the Corporation or the Market Committee themselves. We cannot believe that these gc ntlemen wilt persist, in the face of such a representation, in re-establishing the market on the site in question. One very strong objec tion to it, even apart from its public demerits, is the fact that there is not a sufficient supply of water for such an establishment, there being already a very re stricted supply. chiefly from the ponds at Highgate and Hampstead. The populous and settled character of the district, however, constitutes the main objection to a nuisance which has already been found intolerable in any such district.—Builder. SEABORNE MAILS.

(13i.fore Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RE CHARLES IiORVALL. This Insolvent, a market-gardener in the Vassall road, Brixton, was opposed by Mr. Macrae on behalf of Mr. Francis, treasurer to Mr. Bitty, the proprietor of Astley's Amphitheatre. Mr. Reed appeared for a person named Chadwick, and Mr. Sargood supported. The complaint was that insolvent retained posses sion of a house belonging to the opposing creditor. it appeared that the insolvent had not paid any rent for the last seven years, and denied the title of the oppos ing creditor to the property. A considerable body of evidence, both oral and documentary, was adduced. Mr. Commissioner LAW eventually decided that Mr. Francis was entitled to possession, and ordered the insolvent to give up the house by Saturday, or if that was not done, the other party preferring the claim, for whom Mr. Reed appeared, must prove their superior title. IY RE EDGAR GEORGE PAPWORTII. This insolvent, a sculptor and assistant to Mr. Baily, the i emi nent art i st, was oppose d b y two cre ditors, n person. The insolvent had been an unsuc ceasmsfuwlor competitor for the Peel monuments at T th and Salford, and attributed his insolvency chiefly to the ex p enses i n p re p ar i ng th e mo d e l s f or competition. Mr. Commissioner LAW adjourned the case til Nov. 6, for the production of some evidence. Bail renewed. SURREY SESSIONS, Sept. 15. (Before THOMAS PUCKLE, E.q., and a full Bench o: souciTort,— Maglitrates.) E XTRA ORDINARY CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A THE FALLING OF A STAND AT EPSOM RACES. Thomas Russell, formerly a solicitor at Hammer smith, b ut now a pr i soner confined in the debtors ' severely side of H orsemonger-lane Gaol, was i nd i cted f or obtaining money under false pretences from Mr. Bar ' the proprietor of a stand at Epsom Races which broke dow n a t the Spring Meeting, 1850, and i n j ure d M r . P age , a p u bli c a n at Northfleet, he (th e pr i soner) falsely preten di ng th a t h e was so licitor to the last•named party, and was instructed by him to settle the matter without further legal pro ceedings. Mr. Robinson (with Mr. Charnock) conducted the prosecution; and Mr. Hawkins (with Mr. Joyce) de' fended the prisoner. Mr. ROBINSON, in opening the elm, stated that at the Spring. Meeting at Epsom, Mr. Barnard had a booth, which, by some accident, fell in, and Mr. Page Was seriously injured. The latter instructed his solicitor (Mr. Sharland) to sue for damages, and s writ was served on Mr. Barnard, but shortly after that the prisoner called on Mr. Langland, agent to Mr. Barnard, and told him he was the actual soli citor to Mr. Page, and he was instructed to settle the affair. He at first asked 2001. as compensation, but afterwards consented to accept of 121., which Mr. Langland paid him, believing that be was actually solicitor to Mr. Page. The fraud, however, was found cut on Mr. Sharland's proceeding in the next step in the action, and the prisoner was apprehended. After going through the whole of the proceedings, Mr Charnock called William Page, who said—l am a publican at North fleet. In May 1850, I was at Epsom Races, and met with an accident by the falling of Mr. Barnard's stand. Shortly afterwards I was introduced to the defendant, whilst in bed at Northfleet, by a Mr. Patterson. I told Russell I was very bad, and he afterwards vi,ited me frequently with several friends. He (Russell) said he was a friend of Mr. Barnard's and Mr. Langland's, and that he would see them and get something for me. I did not know then that Ile vies a solicitor, neither did I authorise him to act for me as one at any time, neither did I authorise him to accept money for me as compensation. My attor ney in this affair was Mr. Sharland, of Gravesend. In Febr uar y, 1852, the prison e r c a ll e d upon me and said I had better let him proceed in the case, as Mr. Sharland would never get me any money. That was the last time I saw him then, but I afterwards met him at Epsom. I had no knowledge of the action brought by Shetland being settled for 121, neither did. the prisoner at any time tell me that he had re ceived the money. I never told him that I had taken the matter out of Mr. Sharland's hands. Cross-examined by Mr. IlAwiereis—l am a publi can, but I do a little in racing matters. I am not a racing man, but I told the prisoner I was so, and knew Barnard to be one, and that I did not want to hurt him. I keep the Red Lion at Northfleet, but it is not a sporting house. About the latter end of May Russell was introduced to me with several friends. I did not converse with him at that time, he merely asked how I was and left the room. He was introduced to me as a gentleman residing at Northfleet. He came several times afterwards with a friend, and mentioned about the accident, saying that it was a bad job for me. He said he knew Barnard, and could get money from him. I thanked him and told him I should be very much obliged to him, but I did not authorise him to do anything with Mr. Barnard. I received ultimately from the latter, through my so licitor, in money about 401. My doctor's bill was between 81. and 01. I have not paid it yet. I em ployed Mr. Sharland to bring the action in September, 1550, and Russell left Gravesend about that time. I saw him the night before he left in my own house. I had heard that Barnard had several actions pending relative to the accident, but I did not know he was about to take the benefit of the Act. I did not know the extent of his liabilities, or his means. I did not know what Russell was. He might have been a sailor for what I knew. I made no inquiries about him. as I never employed him. Mr. Sharland transacted my bueinees. In January in the present year the prisoner came to me while I was having tea. He asked me how Mr. Sha r l an d was ge tting on with m y case ? I told him very slowly. Prisoner said, " You will never get anything, take my word for it. You had better let me manage the case, as I think I could have got you something." I was taken very ill at the time, and nothing further tr an spired. Mr. Sh ar l an d had at that time stayed the action. Sharland, examined by Mr. ROBINSON—I am an attorney and town clerk at Gravesend. In July or August, 185 0, Mr. P age came t o me very lame, and cons ulted me on this action. I accordingly issued a w r it against Mr. Barnard on the 15th of January, 18 e 1 . A. communication was sent from Mr. Barnard's solicitor, which caused me to stay the action for a year. I never t o ld any one of my costs, w hi c h at that time, February, 1851, were about 31. I served afterwards declarations, through my London Barnard's agent, when I received a communication that the action bad been settled and summonses were out to afte l r r w e a c r e d iv s ed fr 6 e o m l. e s t a y the proceedings. 111 r. compensation, sinolcilctouidinr.g my costs, We went up to notice of trial, and that included all expenses. I k new no thi ng o f R ussel l , an d never saw him until committed for trial. I was, in fact the attorney, and no one e l se h a d any thi ng to do with the a ct ion but my agent in London. Cross-examined by Mr. HAWKINS—I was in formed that several actions were brought aga i nst Mr. Barna rd, wh ich induced me to stay the pro ceedings. Mr. Mason, attorney, of Basinghall-street, ex amined by Mr. CLIARNOCK—I conducted the action in London, for Mr. Sharland, as his agent. I pro duce the documents and the Judge's or d er i n the action with t he offici al seals. I also produce a re ceipt given by Russell, in settlement of the action, for 121. The latter was read by the Clerk of the Peace. Mr. Mason continued—l attended before the Judge, but previously I corresponded with Mr. Russell (the prisoner), from whom I received several answers promising to call upon me, and satisfy me respecting , bo o t y h der. the matter. However, he never kept his appointment. argument here ensued between The Judge's order . was here put in, but Mr. lieweeiNs objected to its being received, as the defendant was not present when the order was made, therefore he could not be a party to that. sides, respecting the lengths The BENCH decided that it should be admitted, when the document was read by the Clerk of the Peace. It was s igned by Mr. Justice Parke on the last, ordering ," that 11th of February a previous sammons obtained by Mr.. Barnard . s solicitor, to show cause why proceedings the.action should not be Counselo tli the Judges o n stayed," should be dismissed with chats. Mr. Mason resumed —Russell did not, on an .), theA very admissibility Learned oc casion appear before the . Judge, but after the, order I him, and received an wrote to authorised to receive the 121. and settle the matter with Mr. Barnard. I afterwards proce e d e d to issue a notice of trial. I then received 601. a n d paid it I i over to Mr. Sharland n the usual way. o n the 7th of June, I was instructed to prosecute the prisoner by Mr. Eangiared as agent to Mr. Barnard. Prisoner never offered me 121., and I made no application for it. By Mr. Hevveti Ns _j sa w Mr. Barnard when first before the magistrate. Laurence Langland, a builder, at Epsom, was next called. He said — On the sth or 6th of June, 1850, a letter was placed in my hands by Mr. Bar nard, purporting to come from the prisoner, claiming compensation for Mr. Page. I directed my son to answer it, and I read it before it was sent by post. An answer was received to that from th e prisoner, dated the 7 t h o f June, threatening to send a writ, as he was employed by Mr. Page to do so. I n Fe bruary, 1851, I saw Russell at Epsom, when h e intro duced hims e lf to me, and said it was a pity the business was not settled. I said, " You are not the , solicit or f or Mr. Page," when he replied, " Yes , I am." I said," Mr. Sharland, the town clerk of Gravesend, wa s th e party, when he replied Sharland was a friend of hi't, and was doing it for him, and that the reason his own name was not used was for motives of delicacy. Rus sell also advised me to settle the matter, and at first demanded 2001. as compensation. He afterwards consented to take 121, and I got that sum from Mr. Barnard and paid it to the prisoner, fully believing that he was authorised by Mr. Page and Mr. Shar - - land. Russell gave me a receipt at the time to that effect. _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. TIAWHINS—I did not build the stand which fell down, neither had I any interest in it excepting in assisting him in attending to the booth, and receiving a smill portion of the profits for my labour. Mr. Barnard attends all the races about the metropolis. Mr. HAWKINS—Did you not let off the ground and your house at Epsom during the races to gamblers ? Witness—l did not for many years, but I shall decline to say anything further. Mr. HAWKINS—Did you not let standing room to thimble-riggers ? Witness—No ; thimble-rig men don't stand at stalls. Mr. HAWKINS —Well, did you not make them pay for moving about ?—(Laughter.) Witness—l object to answer that question, according to the advice of my counsel.—(Laughter.) Russell was at Epsom four or five days before he spoke to me. I had heard that Mr. Sharland had asked for 2001., but could not say when ; but knew the prisoner asked for 2001. Russell said that Page was his " old daddy;" but Mr. Sharland was his particular friend, and did the business for him. Mr. Barnard had several actions brought against him by persons who never were near the stand at all, and I told him to compromise them. I refuse to mention the name of any such person who received money as compensation, and who was not on the stand. I said to the prisoner I was willing to give him a ten pound note, but he wanted fifteen; but was willing to split the difference by accepting twelve pounds. He told me also that the doctor's bill would be very heavy, as the man bad broken his thigh, and was very seriously injured. He said the costs were at that time very trifling, as only a writ had been served. I should not have paid him the money, but I thought be was authorised by Mr. Page and Mr. Sharland, as he said the latter was his agent. Timothy Barnard—l was defendant in an action brought by Mr. Page, and I took the 121., and gave it to Mr. Langland to settle the affair for me. By Mr. flAWlLDlS—Langland is a friend of mine, and is used to such work. lam used to agricultural pursuits, and did not understand such matters. I was present when the prisoner agreed to accept 121. I have known him for many years at races. I gave Mr. Langland a quarter share of Epsom Downs to erect booths on. I give Mr. Briscoe 6001. a year for the Downs, and I give Mr. Langland a quarter share of that. I gave the instructions for this prosecution to Mr. Mason. Thomas Roxburgh, a pilot at Gravesend, said—l know Russell and Page. I went with the former to the latter several times, and tried to persuade Page to employ him, but he resolutely refused to have any thing to do with the prisoner. He heard the latter tell Page that he would never get anything. William Grayson, examined by Mr. CHARNOCK.-- lam a draper at Gravesend. I have been in the pri soner's and Page's company, when the latter re fused to have anything to do with him. Russell never said to me that he had settled the matter for 121. _ _ By Mr. HAWKINSI did not hear Page say he would be very much obliged to the prisoner if he proceeded with Barnard. Sergeant Kennedy, 25 V, examined by Mr. Ro- BINSON—I held a warrant on the 7th of last March for the prisoner's apprehension on this charge. I did not find him out until the 6th of June, although he had been advertised. I took him at Hammersmith. By Mr. HAwKiNs--I inquired at Harry Broom's and at Cross's, Windmill-street, Haymarket. I watched that neighbourhood some time. At Ham. mersmith he went by his own name, and when I asked for him there was no attempt made to resist me, but I put handcuffs on him. I generally do so in such cases. I had no instructions to put the hand cuffs on him. This closed the case for the prosecution, when the jury left the court for refreshment, having been occu pied in this case four hours. On their return to court Mr. HAWKINS proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner, contending that his client was innocent, and that he accepted the 121. under the belief that he was acting under the instruc• tions of Mr. Page in his bedroom. The Learned Counsel then went through the whole of the evidence, commenting upon those points where the prisoner had interviews with Page, and considering that he was then authorised to settle the matter with Barnard. He (the Learned Counsel) firmly believed such to be the case ' • therefore he should leave the case in the hands of the jury. Three persons were called to give the prisoner a character, but two of them had not seen much of him for the last two years. The CHAIRMAN then carefully summed up the whole of the voluminous evidence, explaining the most important points to the jury, and callieg upon them to consider whether he obtained this money knowing that it was under false pretences or not. He may have thought that he was employed to settle the affair for Mr. Page, but it would be for them, after mature consideration, to return their verdict accordingly. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, re turned a verdict of Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said the Court quite agreed in the verdict of the jury ; and he was sorry to see a person of his profession in such a disgraceful position. The sentence of the Court was, that he be sentenced to six months' hard labour at Wandsworth House of Correction. The prisoner, it may be recollected, brought the qui tam actions, some years ago, against Lord George Bentinck, and other noblemen, which did not gain him a very enviable notoriety. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A couple of respectably-dressed young men, giving the names of Williams and Lewis, were brought up by Daniel May, a detective officer, and charged be fore Alderman Lawrence with being in a shop in Fleet-street with intent to commit a felony. May said he saw the prisoners looking through the window from the outside of Mr. Crutch!ey's shop, at the corner of Salisbury-street, Fleet-street, and ac• cordingly watched them. Lewis went in, and having attracted the attention of Mr. Crutchley, Williams went in; but Lewis had discovered that Miss Crutchley was in the shop, though she could not be seen from the outside, came out, followed imme diately afterwards by Williams, when May, took them into custody. Mr. Crutchley informed him that Lewis inquired the price of a globe, but did not purchase anything. Lewis said he intended to buy the globe, but when searched at the station-house no money was found upon him. Scott, a City officer, said he had the prisoners in custody at the Mansion-house, when they were com mitted for three months for a similar offence, their system being to go in pairs, and select a shop that is attended to by only one person, and then one goes in, attracts the shopkeer's attention to a remote part of the shop, while his accomplice enters and plunders the place of whatever he can lay his hands on near the door. Mrs. Remus, of 169, Aldersgate-street, keeping a butcher's shop, said that, on the 6th of August last, the prisoner Williams came into her shop during a temporary absence, and on her return he said he wanted 11b. of steak ; but as the prisoner asked her to send it across the road she suspected he only came in to steal, and therefore watched him out of the shop, when she saw him join Lewis, and then finding she was looking after them they ran away. This con firmed her suspicions, and on going into the room at the back of the shop she missed a gold watch, value 201., from the mantel-piece, which she had seen safe a quarter of a hour previous. John White, in the last witness's employ, deposed to the prisoner Williams having entered the shop and purchasing ill). of steak, and he noticed, while giving change for a crown piece, the prisoner examine with evident curiosity the interior of the back room. This took place about a quarter of an hour previous to his second visit. George Mullineux, a detective, said he had Wil liams in custody under the name of Ritchie, for steal ing a gold watch from a gentleman lin the street, for which he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. Alderman LAWRENCE said there could be no doubt of the felonious intention of the prisoners in visiting Mr. Crutchley's shop, and, therefore, as Williams was an old hand, he would commit him for three months, and Lewis, as he was not so well known, for two months to the House of Correction. John Eldrige was charged with stealing a Geneva watch, the property of Mr. Joseph Pickard, of Broad street-buildings, his employer. The prosecutor stated that he had trusted the pri soner with several watches on approbation, and, as the latter owed him about 61., he took him into his em ploy, with an understanding that he was to work out the debt. On Saturday evening, on the watches being counted, one was missing, which the prisoner at first admitted he had taken home with him, and alleged he had been robbed of it on board the steam-boat on the Sunday morning, but afterwards he said he had pledged it for 255. in Queen-street, Cheapside, but that prosecutor's brother had given him permission to take it home. Solomon Pickard, brother to the prosecutor, denied that he gave the prisoner leave. The pawnbroker produced the watch, which was identified, and the prisoner was then dealt with under the Pawbrokers Act for illegal pawning, and fined 21., and 355., the value of the watch. MARY LEBONE. FATAL OCCURRENCE.--FURIOTTS DRIVING BY A DRAYMAN.—Yesterday William Wallis ' a drayman in the service of Messrs. Elliott and Co., brewers, was placed itt the bar before /Jr. )3113i/ham ou the serious charge of having, by furious driving, caused the death of a man named Joh❑ Parsons, about 45 years of age, and who for upwards of 30 years had been in the em ploy of Mr. Burford, proprietor and painter of the well-known panoramas which for a long period have ranked high amongst the attractive exhibitions of the metropolis. Mr. Dormer, residing at 18, Hawley-crescent, Camden Town, deposed that at seven on the previous evening, as he was riding on the top of an omnibus along High street, he saw the prisoner driving along at a furious rate with a dray and horses down Pratt street. The omnibus coachman pulled up in order to let it pass, and at the same moment witness saw a man (the deceased) slip off the kerb into the road, when the fore-horse of the dray struck him, and propelled him several yards forward. There was a tremendous scream, and witness, upon looking round, saw one of the wheels of the dray pass over the head of the poor fellow as he lay upon the ground. Witness added that he got off the omnibus, and on going to the spot where the shocking occurrence took place, he found that the man Parsons was dead. He assisted in putting him into a cab, in which he was conveyed to the University College Hospital. Mr. BROUGHTON—WAS the prisoner riding on the dray ? Witness—He was, Sir, and there was another man and woman upon it also. The prisoner had the reins in his hands at the time. Mr. BROUGHTON—Was he drunk or sober ? Wit ness—He appeared to me to have been drinking. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did he pull up directly? Wit ness—No, Sir; he was stopped at a distance of about sixty yards. Mason, 168 S, said that he saw deceased lying in a pool of blood in the road. He (witness) took pri soner into custody, when he remarked that it was no fault of his, as the man (deceased) stepped into the way of the dray, which he (prisoner) pulled up as soon as he could. Mr. BROUGHTON—In what state did you consider the prisoner to be ? Witness—l should say that he was not quite sober. Mr. BROUGHTON (to prisoner)—Have you anything to say in answer to this charge ? Prisoner—Nothing, sir. Mr. BROUGHTON—I shall commit you for killing and slaying the unfortunate man Parsons, and you will be brought up again next Wednesday. A coro ner's inquest will of course, in the meantime, be held o❑ the body. Tne prisoner was then locked up. Mr. Fenton, the managing clerk to Mr. Herring, solicitor, applied for the prisoner to attend to put in bail, but the request was not granted. ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS.- William Barry was brought up on remand, charged with hav ing plundered the houses of licensed victuallers of property of different descriptions to a considerable amount. particulars of what previously transpired have The already been published, and it will be remembered that Lockerby and Bow, of the S division, brought forward evidence that clearly showed that the pri soner had committed robberies at Mr. Howell's, the Morton Arms, Kentish Town, and at Mr. Gibson's, the Seymour Arms, Euston-square, at each of which establishments he had partaken of drink up stairs, and then took the opportunity of robbing apartments ad jacent to those in which he had been sitting. There was now a third charge preferred against him for having stolen a bag containing wearing apparel, &c., from the Cross Keys, Wood-street. The required evidence in this case was not forthcoming, and upon the two cases proved the prisoner was sent for trial. SETTING FIRE TO A HAYRICK.—John Smith, who has undergone previous examination, charged, on his own confession, with having set fire to a hayrick, the property of Mr. Bott, in a field of his, near Primrose hill, was again brought up, when the whole of the evidence against him was read over, and he was fully committed for trial.
