And be it enacted, that any sum of money so to be raised and levied off any barony, half barony, county of city or county of a town under the provisions of this Act shall be charged upon, and applotted, raised cad levied upon and from the occupiers of, and other persons rateable in respect of lands and hereditaments within such barony, half' barony, county of a city or county of a town respectively, and rated under the then last pre ceding rate or rates made, or from time to time made in respect of the same, under the provisions of an Act of the first and second years of her present NW= sty, intituled, "An Act for the more effectual Relief of the Destitute Poor in Irelanr'," and any Act amending the same, and shall be payable by the respective ratepayers, who under the said last preceding rate or rates shall have paid or contributed or been liable to pay or contribute rate in respect of property in such barony, half barony, county of a city or county of a town, according to the several valuations and proportions according to which respectively such last preceding rate or rates shall have been so made, charged upon and payable by the rate-payers in respect of snch lands or hereditaments respectively ; and any such sum of money shall be assessed and levied by the respective collector of grand jury cess for such barony, half barony or place, as a poundage assessment equally upon the net annual value, of the several lands and hereditaments within such barony, half barony, county of a city or county of a town respectively, rated as aforesaid, as such net annual value shall have been stated in such last pre ceding rate or valuation as aforesaid ; and on receipt of the respective county treasurer's warrant as aforesaid, such colliwor is hereby authorised and required to levy the money therein mentioned ; and such money shall and may be collected and levied, sued for and recovered, by such and the same ways and means as any grand jury ct as, or the money applotted on the several persons liable to pay any grand jury cess, may be collected and levied, and with like powers, authorities and privileges to any such collector, as in case of the levying of any grand jury cess. The tenth clause authorises the grand jury collector to take a copy of the last made rate from the rate-honk. And be it enacted, That when any person occupying such lanis or hereditaments within any such district shall he liable to pay a rent in respect of the same, he may deduct from such rent, for each pound of the rent which he shall be liable so to pay, one-half of the sum which be shall hare paid as such assessment in respect of each pound of the net annual value (whether such rent shall be greater or less than such net annual value), and so in proportion for any less sum than a pound. And be it enacted, That where any person receiving rent in respect of any such rateable property within such tistrict, shall also pay a rent in respect of the same, he shall be entitled to deduct from the rent so paid by him a sum bearing such a proportion to the amount of such Assessment deducted from the rent received by him as the rent paid by him bears to the rent received by him : Provided always, That every lessor assessed instead of any occupier of rateable property shall be entitled to de duct from any rent paid by him in respect of such pro perty a sum bearing such a proportion to one-half of the assessment on such property as the rent paid by him bears to the net annnal value of such property. The third clause empowers the grand jury to present for the payment of the secretary and collectors such qnrns As may be deemed compensatory for their additional labour. And be it enacted, That when any public work shall be presented or executed under the provisions f this Act, it shall be lawful for any occupier or owner of any 4round taken and occupied for the purpose of such work to demand and obtain from the officer of the said Com missioners of Public Works or the county surveyor, as the case may b-, by whom such work shall have been or shall be executed, a certificate under his hand, which such officer or surveyor is hereby required to give, stating the quantity of ground belonging to such occupier or owner which shall have been so taken and occupied for the purpose of such work, and an estimate of the average annual value of such ground, the tenure of such occupier or owner thereof, and an estimate of he total damage sustained by him or either of them by he taking and occupying of such ground for the purpose of such work; and upon giving or tendering such certificate it shall be lawful for such officer or surveyor as aforesaid to proceed in the execution of such work without interruption of any person; and it shall be lawful for any such owner or occupier, or either or each of them, giving ten days' previous notice to the secretary of the grand jury, to make application to the grand jury at the assizes next following the giving of such certificate, or the next oibsequent assizes, for the amount of such damages specified in such certificate, whereupon it shall be lawful fur the grand jury to present, without previous applica tion to presentment sessions, such sum or sums of money, for the use of such owner or occupier, or each of them, as the case may lie, in respect to the damage sits alined by him, as they, upon inspection of such certifi Cate, shall deem reasonable to be raised off the barony or half barony in which such ground shall be situated, and to such presentment no traverse shall be allowed or received ; but in case such owner occupier shall not think fit to make such application to the grand jury, it shall be lawful for him, at the assizes next following the giving of the said certificate, or at tha next subsequent assizes, upon giving Ten days' notice, previously to such assizes, to the secretary of the grand jury, of the amount of damages intended td be claimed, to have a traverse for damages entered in the crown book in respect of such damage sustained by him; and thereupon such traverse shall be tried in like man tier and like proceedings shall be had, and like present ment made in respect of the same, and subject to like provisions, as far as the same can be applied, as in the cases of traverses entered for damages under the Acts ;or consolidating and amending the laws relating to the presentment of public moneys by grand juries in Ireland. Clause 15 is the usual interpretation clause; and Clause 16 enacts that no sessions can be holden und( r the Act after the 15th day of August, 1847. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. • THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—The weather con inues very unsettled. The intervals of sunshine and • try weather during the week have been few, but every I advantage has been taken of them to push forward the • labours of the harveit. A considerable breadth of crop I has accordingly fallen before the sickle. Wednesda% was a charming day, but yesterday was gloomy and drizzly in the extreme. Harvest wages are still high, and labourers scarce. We observe that the East Lothian farmers have been paying 18s. to 1/. per week, with victuals. Considerable quanties of oats have be,o cut in that quarter with the scythe, at 95., including gathering and binding, and without victuals. From the same district we have the inauspicious intelligence lt a destructive disease in the bean crop, which is thus lescribed in the Mercury:—" Kitty fields are already as black as they generally are in the end of October, and when the pods are opened, there is found on many of the immature beans a black speck, not larger than the head of I pin, on each side of the plumule. As the affected bean alvances and darkens in colour, the spots become invisible, but on examination the bean is found to be tainted through , ts whole substance of a dull yellowish brown colour; the vegetative power has evidently been destroyed, and when boiled they remain hard and tough. The roots of the diseased plants are in general knotty, and exhibit numerous minute whitish-coloured tubers." Harvest is now general throughout the country. In the nothern counties, says the Inverness courier, it is " interrupted only by unfavourable weather, or the difficulty of ob taining shearers. Yesterday (Tuesday) rain fell durin g nearly the whole day, to the discomfiture of many hun dreds of farmers and labourers,', who were ready to com mence operations in the corn field. On Monday a great deal of barley and oats was cut down, and several fine fields of wheat." In the Carse of Stirling the weath°r, more than any want of reapers, obstructed the progress of harvest. The Observer of yesterday says—" A gri at part of the beans is cut, and also a considerable quantity of wheat, but very little barley, and still less oats. The Perthshire Advertiser of yesterday men. - :ions that " a day toul and a day fair is the rule ; nevertheless, the stocks on the hairst rig' are in ereasing in number, and the farmers evidently seizing every propitious moment for cutting down their golden treasure. Indeed, on Monday last, some persons were observed busy 'leading' on the banks of Vie Tay, a little below Newburgh, apparently determined to place their produce beyond the r each of the changeable weather, by safely stowing it under' thack and rape.' " In Ayrshire the wages of reapers have run up as high as 3 s . Bd. a d ay. In Kilmarnock, on Monday, 3s. 2d. was given, a n d on Wednesday 3s. 6d. In Maypole, on Monday, wages varied from 3s. to 3s. Bd. On Wednesday shearers were engaged in Irvine at from 3s. to 3s. 64. In Girvan, 34, and 3s. 6d. can easily be got. In Colmonell, reapers are exclusive of victuals, b es id es end from the field. The harvest in pains receiving conveyed an d to 3s : 6I Ayrshire is proceeding slowly, owing to the obstacles of bad weather and paucity of hands. THE HARVEST IN OXFORD. HIRE. During the past week we have been visited with frequent and heavy e et upraeinnsiarwrhesict operati o ns. r a a v t e i n h s. a d Thea mostwhee wheat is fprejudicialneary fr all housed, and from information der ivedto from nearly ad parts of the country, it is g know that the crop has been quite an average one and that the quality is rather superior. There is a great deal of barley cut' and only waiting for fine weather to get it ricked. The crop is considered rather deficient, and very inferior in quality to that of last year, and unless we very soon have line weat ther, there will be very little good malting barley in many fields in this county will only be fit for the pigs. Oats are abundant, but the bean crop his very bad. The late rains have proved very beneficial to the turnip lands, which are lookinc , remarkably well, and also to the meadows and pastureland. The crop of Lattermath is exceedingly thick, and promises a heavy crop. Several meadows near Oxford are already cut. The potato di4ease is developing itself to a most alarm ing and fearful extent. Wheat rose yesterday (Satur day) in Oxford market, 64. per bushel. During the present week, we regret to say, the wea ther in this neighbourhood has been such as materially to retard the labour of cutting and housing the crops. as With lththaes h exception eens h o o f wh S ee u ar n vy d i layy. and , e y e r e y astt d e a .r y (tilam s y i e n s c e Saturday e the wea therrei n very and although a li tt l e rain fell, has wasfallen pl e a s v e e e r and the sky was cloudy throughout the day, there ' were tokens of a change to fine weather. Should such be the case, the farmers will be siorking d ou b le odes pexc week, feeling as they do that there is now noaime to lose : the potato blight will, no doubt, add to their anxiety for their other crops.—Manchester Examin• r. INVERNESS.—The weather, we may say for the week, has been the most unfavourable we could have had at this season of the year. We can complain vtry little, however, in this neighbourhood, beyond the stop put by the rain to cutting down. It has not Set bt en so weighty as to occasion material damage, further than what a few days of good weather would repair. Still it is disheartening, when activity should every where prevail, to be compelled to submit to listless idleness and delay. This. though the dancer be not evidently near, may bring it eventually. The rains we have had about town were neither alarming nor con stant, and perhaps were rather provoking than either. In the south, we see the same complaints exist, of "changeable weather, rainy and dry days having alter nated almost regularly." Our correspondent in Bade noch writes:—" Further continuance of rain, which we have often in torrents, will caus e i nca l cu l a bl e loss and in jury where it has not done it already. This same day (18th), with a storm of wind and -rain, is more like a day in October or November, than this early period." This corresponds with reports which we have from various quarters. The crops still continue to hold well to the eye. There will be no loss in this quarter if the heavy August rains, so frequent, be no severer than they have been hitherto. In the upper districts great loss has been sustained. The authority above quoted says, "The crops, which we thought not long since would have been stinted by extreme heat, are, in many places, laid level with the ground, without any prospect of its ever rising. In some places clover bay is still on the fields. The natural hay is all uncut, and some of the best in this country is irrecoverably lost by spets which cover the meadows with mud." The potato dis ease has now unhappily established its reign in this vicinity, and our correspondent thus describes it as it is in that quarter, " There is no denying the disease is making rapid strides among the potatoes here." It is yet more prevalent in the parish of Laggan, the highest parish in Scotland, where it made its appearance in several places at the same time ; but during the last few days, it is supposed, that no other parts of the country are visited by it. He proceeds—" Nothing can exceed such of the oats as aro approaching to ripeness, and the grain promises to be of good quality. The here crop is very deficient in many places, owing, it is sup posed, to the extreme heat which continued so long be fore the rain came. That, and if the potatoes are de stroyed, as at present threatened, this part of the High lands will feel its share of inconvenience, however safely the harvest may be got in."—lnverntss Journal. " DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE. "COWARDLY ATTEMPT AT MURDER. " HANDSOME REEWAED, rHE MOORS. EAST LOTHIAN AND BERWICKSHIRE.—The accounts from the sportsmen on the Lammermoors this seasoneire of a most unfavourable description. " Everywhere," writes a correspondent, "the grouse are more or less affected with the tape-worm, producing such a state of emaciation as to render them unfit for use. The healthy birds are so strong and shy as not, or very seldom, tote within the reach of shot, and younger broods, cheepers, the old cock the only one fit to be bagged—be (poor fel low) from his natural feelings, never failing to fall a vic tim in the first instance. The mother seldom rises until almost caught by the pointer, and, when shot, is also unfit for use, not having recovered the effects of incuba tion. In fact, we may almost say that grouse shooting on these moors has been a total failure. It is recom mended that a jubilee be given them next year, through the districts." Nor are the accounts from the moors in the counties of Northumlerlaed and Durham of a very flattering description as respects the number of birds. They are represented as being in rather small coveys, so strong on the wing that they will soon pack, and as be musing very inaccessible.—Berwick Warder. PERTHSHIRE iIIGHLANDS.—We are happy to be able to confirm the favourable accounts of the orening of the campaign on the moors, shortly referred to in our list. The weather, as we then mentioned, was the most auspicious which could be desired—a gentle westerly breeze, with sunshine and occasional intervening clouds, moderating the heat and spreading the scent to the dogs. From early morn to dewy eve not a drop of rain fell, and the sportsmen were enabled to keep the hill in most oases for twelve successive hours. The results cor respond with such favouring circumstances, being, on the whole, fully better than has been experienced for several years. On Dalnaspidal, at the extre me north of this county, in Athol!, a party of five guns brought down no fewer than 436 brace. Of these 190 fell to the guns of Mr. Stirling Crawford and Mr. Little Gil mour-164 to Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Everard— and 82 to Mr. Willoughby. The total of three nays shooting on Dalnaspidal and Delnacardoch moors to the above party was 1,200 brace ! At Drummour, Sir P. M. Threipland shot 1039 brace grouse, and eight hares— Lord Mexberough and party, over the moors of Dal chosnie, Kinloch, and Innerhadden, 100 brace, of which 52 brace were bagged by his Lordship—Lord Glenlyun shot in Glenloch 64 brace, but was only out in the of ternoon—Mr. John Cameron and friend, at Dalnamine. 121 brace, all full grown birds—Sir Henry Pottinger and Mr. Burn, at Glettbruar, 118 brace Messrs. Graham, at Calvine, 84 brace Captain Hogg nod friend at Loch Yukio', 90 brace. In Inverness shire, the sport was not much inferior, but the morning was wet. Mr. Laverock and friend, at Pit main, shot 200 brace, 105 felling to the former— at Glenshero, Lord Cantelupe and f r i e nd, 156 b race — at Dalwhinnie, Colonel Dundas and friend, 94 brace— Sir John Trollope, at Glenfernate, 70 brace—Lord Gray and Mr. Drummond at Straloch (on the 14th) 45 brace —a very wet day. In Strathbrasn the sport was un commonly fine—Captain Campbell. of Kinlock, on Lis own grounds, bagged 108 brace—Mr. Brown and Mr. Anderson, same moors, 106 k brace—at Loch Kinnaird, Mr. Stewart and party (three guns) 203 k brace grouse, 2 snipes, and 54 hares—Mr. Robertson of Foveran, 103 brace grouse, 1 snipe, and 36 hares—at Auchanfree, Mr. Ramsay of Barnton, and party, bagged 162 brace on the 12th, and 163 brace on the 14th—in Guay Forest, Sir. Devereux and friend, 105 brace of grouse on the 12th, and 140 on the 14th. Altogether, the loads of boxes from the north, by regular and irregular con veyances, are beyond all precedent; and yesterday (Wednesday) a vehicle had to be sent express to Dundee, with boxes for the London steamer, which the morning coaches and omnibuses could not carry.—Perth Courier. CAITHNESS.—Mr Greville and party, at Lateeron: wheel, were very successful. Mr. Greville with his own gun, shot 25 brace. Mr. Sleid, Captain King, and Cap tain Webb, all of the same party. were also very fortu nate. Mr. Murray and Mr. M . Beath, of Berwick, bagged, in two days, upwards of 80 brace. Bobert Nicholson, E.q. and party, at Strathmore Lodge, as might have been expected from such well stocked grounds, had capital sport. On the 12th 60 brace, and on the 14th 50 brace, were bagged. On the 13th it rained incessantly, which damped the eagerness of the , keenest sportsmen. Mr. Nicholson, by his own gun, bagged 16i brace, in an hour and a halt STIRLINGSHIRE.—OR account of the previonirains, tl.e grounds were uncommonly wet, and the birds, although not scarcer than last year, wild, would not allow a near approach. The sportsman had thus to be contented with single birds, and the numbers bagged were not nu , tnerous.—Stbling Journal. AYRSHIRE.--We understand that in general the mea sure of success is but indifferent, and that the grouse, old and young together, are scarcely more numerous now than they were at the end of last season. The tape worm has, it is said, affected, the old birds to a serious extent. On the 12th, Sir James Boswell, on the moors of Boghead, near Auchinleck, killed 20 brace. lie has been the must successful, however, of the Ayrshire gen tlemen, so far as we are aware. On the same day, Dr. Eaton killed 12i brace at Darnaconar. He did not go out on the 13th, but on the 14th he killed 8 brace. The birds at Darn ac o nar are a ll p ac k e d in flocks of from 50 to 60. Captain Drake brought down 17 brace on the Craiglure moors, parish of Straiton, on the same day. At Blairquhan, in the parish of Straiton, on the 12th, two guns only killed 12 brace, but it .was two o'clock P.M. ere the party sallied out. A party of two from Ayr, on the moors on the borders of Auchiuleck parish, where Sir James Boswell was successful, scarcely found a bird. Another gentleman, on the Galston moors, only bagged 81 brace. We hear that the Duke of Montrose, on his estate near Lochlomond, killed 24 brace on the 12th.—Ayr Observer. DUMFRIES SUIRE.—AII the accounts we have received concur iu stating, that the birds are remarkably wild, and that, in consequence, the number bagged has been less than usual. Disease has also made its appearance in some moors, and we heard or one gentleman who shot fourteen brace, only a small portion of which were worth bringing home, ou account of the emaciated con dition of the birds. Nevertheless, there must h ave been POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. , Two young men, named William Burt, and Benjamin Mactiff, were charged with having attempted to obtain the sum of 221. upon a forged letter. The case was a curious one. The presiding magistrate was Alderman Wilson. Mr. James Booty, of the firm of Stringer and Booty, oil-merchants, of Leadenhall-street, said—On Saturday morning last, we received a letter from Messrs. Seger and Chadwick, York, dated the 21st of August, as a matter of business. We also received from Mr. Jame. Chadwick, one of the partners in the firm, another letter by the same post, asking its to pay Mr. Brown 221. on account of James Chadwick. Oa my arrival in town, I found the latter letter on my desk, and suspected that it was a forgery. At about half-past four o'clock, the prisoner Hart, came into the counting-house, and gave to me a letter referring to the 221., and I asked him whom he came from, to which he replied, from Mr. Brown, for the amount in the letter. I told him to wait a little, and I would return and give him a cheque. I left him in the counting-house, return, d with a policeman, and asked him from whom he had got the letter ; and he said from a young man at the corner of St. Mary Axe. I gave him into custody, and have since usc.rtained from York that the letter was a forgery. I then wen , to the address upon the letter, and learned from the landady that the prisoner, Metcalf, who had formerly lodged with and robbed her, and be,n pro secuted by her to conviction, had introduced Mr. Brown to her, with a request that she would receive any letters addressed to him there. Upon returning to the count ing-house on Alonday morning I kind that Metcalf had, in the meantime, called to look after Hart, 'and been detained by my partner ; and I directly charged Metcalf as an accomplice. I referred to these letters, and Metcalf said, If you are going to take me away I will tel the truth." He then told me that he had been connected with the Mr. Brown, to whom one of the let ters had been addressed, and who went by the name of Whisker, or Whistler. a good deal of slaughter, for thirteen were dis patched to the south on Thursday last, by the Standard coach alone ; and other vehicles have carried a fair pro portion of welcome presents from the moors to those who prefer grouse on the table cloth to whirrirg from the heather. Mr. Maxwell, of Terregles, and his brothers, who shot over the Kinharvey moors on Wednesday. suc ceeded in bagging fifty-eight brace of birds.—Thimfri s Courier. Mr. Stringer, the other partner in the house of Stringer and Booty, added to the statement of the last witness the following :—About ten o'clock on Monday morning the prisoner Metcalf came into the counting house, and asked if we had not received a letter respect ing some money in the name of Brown. I said we had, asked him to walk in, and sent for a polceman. Met calf then said he was desirous of giving full information as he knew the parties. He said the party who hal concocted the letters was named Whisker ; that his mother resided at, York, and was respectable ; and that these letters had been sent to a put - hie:in at York, with direct;ons to put them into the post-office there. City policeman 555, stated, that he took Hart into custody in the counting-house of Messrs. Stringer and Booty, on Saturday. Hart said he gel the letter he presented from a man in the street, at the corner of St. Mary. axe, but who that man was, or where he lived, was not known to him. Witness took Hart to the place, but could find no one there answering the description. City-policeman 531 who took the other prisoner into custody, stated that Metcalf said that he had been in prison with a man named Whisker, or B. own, that they had been both discharged on Tuesday last, and had been lodging together in Aldersgate•buildings since they came out, and that Whisker had borrowed his coat of him, and had it on. Alderman WILSON asked the prisoners, who ecefre quently du r i ng t h e examination d ec l are d separately, t t h h e a t t n , , howeverey"p.

I met him again on Saturday, and he bot rowed another shilling of we, and said he had received the order finr the money, but he did not like to go for it hirnselv, as he IVZIS not on terms with those gentlemen, and I con. seated to take the letter and went in with it, atter being told by him to write a receipt on the back of it. I know nothing at all of this man.

ABOLITION OF THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.—On Friday next, at twelve for one o'clock, a meeting is to take place at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at which Alderman Sid ' ney . is to preside, to consider the propriety of abolishing the punishment of death. The elms of Smith, who is now under sentence for the murder committed in the Guildhall Coffee house, will be then taken into consideration, and efforts will be made to obtain a commutation of the sentence to trans portation for life. EXTRAORDINARY SEDUCTION TRIAL—It may be remembered that, at last year's Wicklow assizes. a verdict with 1,0001. damages was given against John L. Arabin, late mayor of Dublin, for the seduction of his own illegitimate daughter, the action being brought at the instance of the mother of the girl. Subsequently, an application on the part of Mr. Arabin to the Court of Exchequer for a new trial was granted, the court refusing to change the venue from Wick low to Dublin. The case, it is reported, will not proceed further, a compromise having been effected, Mr. Arabin con renting to settle upon his daughter an annuity equivalent to the amount of the Wicklow verdict.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Alderman Moues). Cunitrus CASE—REVENGE BY LlBEL—Jesse Philips and Edward Browne m ere placed at the bar this morning, indicted for nthdemeanour, in publishing and causing to be publisLed, a libellous bill to the injury of James Richardson and Thomas edgwood, earthenware merchants, Spitalfields. As evidence was not had against Edward Brown he was acquitted. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Horry conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoner, Jesse Phillips, who described himself as manager to Edward Wedgwood Phillips, earthen ware merchant, kicked up a row in the shop of the prosecutor, James Richardson, Union-street, Spitalfields,andwas bundled out neck and heels. Three or four hours after be walked into the shop of Thomas Wedgwood, Crispin-street, and there, James Richardson happening to drop in on business, the prisoner anew bullied his former antagonist, and began to show his" science." A scuffle ensued, and Phillips, after hav ing to pick himself up repeatedly, was again bundled out, wearing, it would seem, some of the honours' of war. Mr. Phillips was indignant; off he walked next morning to Hand-court, Holborn. Mr. Gunn had been his printer on a previous occasion, and to him he now had recourse to vent the ebullition of his wrath. In he came in baste. " Gunn, get your pen, come, here's a job; go on—Diabolical outrage." The whole bill is as follows : "Whereas, on the evening of Monday last. between nice and ten o'clock, Jesse Phillips, manager to Edward Wedg wood Phillips, Esq., earthenware manufacturer, from Lan port, Staffordshire Potteries, 75, Bishopsgate-street Without, was grossly and cowardly attempted to be murdered on the premises of Thomas Wedgwood, Crispin-street, Spitaltields, by James Richardson, Thomas Wedgwood, and others. " This is to give notice that a handsome reward will be given to all and any person, who witnessed the same, com ing forward to give their evidence before the grand jury.— Apply to M. Jacobs, Esq., solicitor, Berwick -street, Soho. " May 21, 1846. printer, 7, Hand -court, Holborn." Mr. Gunn, on looking at the manuscript, was rather frightened at his own handiwork; but on seeing a scar on Mr. Phillips's nose, he was induced to proceed with printing off a thousand. Bill-sticke-s were now in request; three or four, paste in hand, heralded the news through London— the Eastern:Countiesißailway, Spitalfields, all the china-shops, and even Westminster Hall, were visited with " posters ;" and especial orders were given to stick lots of them up round about "Tommie Wedgwood's and Jemmie Richard son's." The prisoner himself cabbed it through London, the herald of his own ill-usage. Crowds of course read the bill, and the neighbours were most of all amazed at seeing Messrs. Wedgwood and Richardson going about their daily business as usual, instead of being off to Amerie2. The RECORDER. remarking on the case, gave it as his opinion that the bill was libellous. - The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner guilty of libel. The COURT, on bearing that the prisoner had been already two months in custody, and believing he had had some ill usage, all of which, perhaps, did not appear on _the trial, sentenced him to a month's imprisonment in Westminster Bridewell, without hard labour. Jeremiah Roscoe, 25, and Mary Roscoe, t 3, his mother, were indicted for stealing some carpet, the property of Messis, nollison and Co. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Doane appeared for the defence. These prisoners were tried last week in the New Court, upon four indictments for robbing the same prosecutor of property to a large amount; but, although there was very little moral doubt of their guilt, and that the father of the prisoner Jeremiah, who has absconded, was also concerned in carrying on an enormous system of plunder upon the prose cutors, the legal evidence was insufficient to convict them, and they were consequently acquitted. The prisoners were also fortunate upon this indictment, the jury again returning a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner Jeremiah was then arraigned upon another indictment, for stealing a mahogany table, the property of the same prosecutor. Under this indictment the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. 'Mr. CLARKSON said there was another indictment against the mother for stealing a quantity of bed-ticking, but as he did not think the legal evidence was sufficient to justify a conviction he should not proceed with it, and a verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, observed that although the prisoner, Jeremiah Roscoe, was the only one against whom a conviction had been returned, yet there was no doubt that he and his father and mother had all been engaged in a most extensive system of plunder, and that they bad actually been trading upon the property stolen from their employers. Under these circumstances he felt that he was bound to inflict the full punishment fixed by the law for the offence of larceny, which was, that he be transported for seven years. Mr. CLARKSON, said the prosecutor had been rol)bed of property amounting altogether in value to between twelve. and fifteen hundred pounds, and he applied to the Court to order such portion of it as had been discovered to be handed over to them. The RECORDER made the necessary order. well for having made away with some of my landlady's goods. I have, I solemnly declare, done nothing since that I ought to be afraid or ashamed of. I met Brown, who went by the name of Whisker in Westminster Bridewell, and he told me that his mother lived in York, and had 2001. a year there, and that he had respectable connexions there. We agreed to take lodgings toge ther, and he wrote four letters on Wednesday, and on Thursday he enclosed them in a letter to go to York. He said that on Saturday he should receive 151. from Messrs. Stringer and Booty, of Leadenhall street, and also some money from Allen and Sons, and things would be comfortable, bat he said he must go by the name of Brown, and the letters must be left at South- street, at the house of my former landlady, to whom I had taken him the day before, and who acted kindly, although I had treated her badly. On Saturday morning he went to South-street, to receive the letters he expected. I afterwards went home to Aldersgate-buildings, and about 5 or 6 o'clock he came there, and said we must leave these lodgings. I refused to leave them, and said I had done nothing to make any one wish to injure me. He then borrowed two shillings of the landlady, and afterwards he borrowed my coat, in order to pledge his own, to pay the landl a dy, and he begged me to wa it a t home for him half an hour, and I waited an hour and a half, bet he never came back. I supposed that he had raised the money he spoke of and was spending it, and accordingly I went to inquire after him to get my coat back, and I was stopped by this gentleman. Aldermari WILSON asked Metcalf how it happened that he could think, after the punishment of Bridewell, of joining one whom he had met in the same place ? Metcalf said he never had any idea of doing anything wrong again, but he thought Whisker, who seemed to have friends in good circumstances, not like himself, and he (Metcalf) calculated upon assistance from that person until he should get into some refuge. Alderman WILSON asked Hart what business he had been engaged in ? Hart said that he had been a pork-butcher in Kent street, in the Borough, and in another very populous neighbourhood. Alderman WiLsox—What ! and after having carried on business in such neighbourhoods you think you might go to receive money honestly from a man you met in the street ? Hart declared that such was the case ; he had no suspicion of the bad intention of the man whom he went to oblige. Mrs. Soden, of South-street Pentonville, stated that Metcalf lodged Kith her about three months ago, and on Wednesday last he came to her house with another man. Metcalf ask( d her to forgive him, and said the other man was a friend of his relations ; and intro duced him as Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown said he would un dertake to pay witness, as he understood Metcalf owed her money, and she said it would be very acceptable. On Saturday morning a letter came, which was addressed to Mr. Brown, and he came about nine o'clock and asked for it, and he seemed surprised that there were not two. He.took away the letter, and said he should call again to see whether the other he ex pected might arrive, but be never returned. Mr. Brown opened the letter and read it to her. Here the witness identified the letter which had been handed by Hart to Messrs. Stringer and Booty. Metcalf—l did go on Friday, by direction of Whisker, to ask Mrs. Soden to take in some letters for him in the name of Brown. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NEW COURT: (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT, Alderman CHALLIS. &c.) SYSTEMATIC PLUNDEE..—Matthew Heath, aged 26, was indicted for stealing thirty-six silver spoons, thirty-six forks of the same metal, and other articles, the property of his master, W. S. Burton, Esq.; secondly, for stealing some valuable property belonging to another employer,Mr.Cotton The prisoner pleaded guilty. It appearirg that the prisoner had been several times before charged with similar offences in the houses of his re spective employers, The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years' transportation. A respectably attired young man, named Thomas Jenkins, was indicted for stealing a gold ring, the property of hisi late master, Mr. Wray. The prosecutor, a surgeon, stated that the prisoner was in his employment for some time; that be left his service: shortly after which he missed the ring; that it was traced to the possession of the prisoner, who asserted that it did not belong to him. The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. PARRY, who appeared for the defence, as to the identity of the ring, which he alleged was in his possession for twenty years. It appeared that the prosecutor had not paid the prisoner any wages, and that the latter had instituted an action against him for the recovery of the same, which was still pending. He also admitted that he had not made the present charze until the prisoner had entered his action. The prosecutor, however, disclaimed all intention of having preferred the present charge with the view of quashing the action of the prisoner. Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, who was found Guilty. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to im prisonment, with hard labour, for six months. .211 coy Bridgeford was indicted for stealing three table cloths, value 155., the property of Waiter Gibson, her master. The prisoner, who is unmarried, pleaded guilty; but in consequence of having received a good character, she was sentenced to but three months' imprisonment. Thomas Reynolds and Charles Wilson, whose names did not appear in the calendar, were indicted for stealing at Westminster, on the 4th instant, some silver spoons, the pro perty of Thomas Brown. The prisoners pleaded 'guilty. Reynolds was not known at the Court, but Wilson was, in consideration of which the former was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and the latter to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. John Morgan was charged with stabbing a constable in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, named o'l-1 ara. The complainant said he went into the Cock public-house, New-street, Berwick -street, about nine o'clock on Saturday night, and when about to quit the house, the prisoner, who was standing in front of the bar, with a number of other young men, called out, "Here's a Great Western police man," and drawing a sword from a stick which he had in his hand, made a pass at him and stabbed him in the right shoulder. Police-constable Wills said he took the prisoner into cus oody. He examined the complainant, and found a punctured wound under the right arm. The defence of the prisoner was that.the wound was acci-, dental. He was flourishing about the sword at the time the complainant passed him, and the point of the weapon went again,t the constable. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Colonel Montmorency Tucker, , of her Majesty's service, accompanied by Dr. V. 0. Zienkiewickzi, of Trofor-square, Brompton, and several Polish officers, attended before Mr. Broughton on Monday to apply for assault warrants against the Rev. G. Roberts, curate of Christchurch, ; Mr. J. Root, his clerk; Pilbrow, the parish beadle, and a police-con stable of the H division, under the following remarkable cir cumstances : The Rev. Doctor stated that, between 4 and 5 o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday last, be proceeded, in the company of a large body of Polish gentlemen, to Spitalfields Church, to take part in the funeral obsequies of a deceased officer named Karozmarcki, who had greatly distinguished himself in the service of his country; and that, previously to the burial service being t oad by the Rey. 51r. Roberts, the offi ciating clergyman, an application, was made to the clerk, on the part of captain Ludovic Prusz3nski, for permission to deliver a funeral oration over the grave of the deceased, in accordance with the prescriptive usage of his country on similar occasions. Not the least objection was offered to this prop )sition, and after the clergyman had completed the service, and retired with his officials, the chief mourner, in his native language, commenced an ad dress commemorative of the - merits and services of the deceased veteran ' • but, after proceeding for some ti me without molestation, he was suddenly disturbed by the abrupt interference of a policeman, who told him that he, was directed to put an immediate stop to the proceedings, and required the whole party to leave the ground. On an intimation, however, that the ceremony would only occupy a few minutes longer, the constable respectfully withdrew to the spot where the clergyman and bis subordinates were standing, and the speaker again proceeded with his oration, , but had,only uttered a taw sentences, when the parish-clerk, accompanied by the same policeman and the beadle, forced his way through the throng of mourners, and, having im peratively ordered him to desist, the whole three simultane ously seized hold of him, and dragged him forcibly from the grave. Finding that they were precluded from discharging the last offices to their deceased friend, without resorting to an unseemly act of violence, they were induced to submit passively to this vexatious treatment, and quitted the ground ; but, as they could scarcely believe that such op pressive conduct was sanctioned by the laws of this country, they had determined to seek redress at the hands of the ma gistrate. Colonel Tucker here intimated that he bad been previously an entire stranger to any of the complaining parties, but happening to be accidentally passing the burial-ground at the time in question, his attention was attracted by loud cries of ' Shame" proceeding from a crowd of persons assem bled in front of it; and on entering the gates, he met the body of Poles quietly departing, but expressing to each other their sense of the indignity they had suffered, and ex claiming that they would have met with greater toleration even in Russia than had been shown to them in this free land. Having made himself acquainted with the facts of the case from some unprejudiced bystanders, who evinced a strong feeling of indignation at the scene .they had wit nessed, he felt himself called upon to `ibterfefe on behalf of the complainants, who considered themselves greatly ag grieved at such a harsh prohibition of those usual military obsequies which were universally tolerated in all other countries. Mr. BILOUGHTODT said that, without entering into the question as to how far the clergyman was justified in direct- iitg his subordinates to adopt the course they were alleged to have taken, he certainly did not himself appear to have committed any overt act that would justify a magistrate in issuing process against Lim ; but with regard to the three other parties, he should order summonses to be made out for using a greater degree of violence than the circumstances demanded. Mr. - nobler thought perhaps the other officer in the case might probably recollect the name. Spurring, T 112, said he did not know the name. Mr. Hobler then asked where the duplicates were found, or by whom were they produced to the officer ?—Spurring replied, that he believed they were taken out of a box by Mr. Kennedy, who had laid them on a bed before Sergeant Mount. Mr. CLINIC said, the evidence showing that the tickets were given up by Mr. Kennedy under the circumstance stet( dby Mr. Jones, he should again remand the prisoners until Wednesday. The Earl of Cadogan said he trusted it would be sufficient for him, at that moment, to bear his testimony to the high respectability and excellent character of Mr. Kennedy; and to state his belief that he was incapable of committing such an offence as that with which he was charged. " Mr. awe said it should have every weight in his judg ment on the ease. Mr. Levies and Mr. Boone then entered into sureties in the sum of 2001. each, and Mr. Kennedy in 4001. on his be kali; and the bail previously taken for Mr. M'Neill having renewed their recognisances in the sum of 4001., for the ap pearance of the prisoner on Wednesday, both prisoners were liberated. Mr. nobler then applied for a copy of the evidence which had been taken in the case, which was acceded to. THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN. On Monday, at an inquest held by Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras, on the body of a young man who had died insane in the St. Pancras workhouse, the Coroner made some remarks relative to the recent investigation instituted by the board of directors and guardians upon the case of the late Rev. Charles Cay, who, it will be remembered, ex• pired, on the Bth instant, in St. Pancras Workhouse. The Coroner (addressing Mr. J. H. Cooper, the sur geon of the St. Pancras Infirmary) said : Pray, Mr. Cooper, what is the case of the Rev. Mr. Cay, which, it appears, has caused so much sensation, and which is alleged to be enveloped in so much mystery ? Mr. Cooper said he did not consider there was any mystery at all about it. It appeared that the Rev. Mr. Cay was taken suddenly ill, and was removed to University Hospital, and he (Mr. Cooper) having occasion to call there to see Dr. Quain, was informed by the doctor that there was a patient there which he must have removed to the workhouse, as he was insane, and not a fit subject for that hospital. He (Mr. Cooper) wasshown the rev. gentle man, whom he at once recognised as a client of his bro ther's, and to whom he wrote on the subject of his removal. He was subsequently removed to the infirmary of St. Pancras Workhouse, where he was placed under his own medical treatment, but he refused nourishment of every description, and died therein. The CORONER said that some of the papers bad imputed to him a refusal to hold an inquest in this case. Now, he wished to observe, that the only information he had received relative to the death of the Rev. Mr. Cay, was a letter from Pratt-street, and he had not received any official communication either from the board of directors and guardians, or the summoning officer. It could not therefore be said that he had refused to hold an inquest. The letter from Pratt-street supposed that the reverend gentleman had been taken ill in conse quence of the hot weather, and never even hinted that he had died insane. There was not a word about in sanity. Mr. Pitt, an officer of the St. Pancras board of di rectors, observed that although the board of guardians had investigated the matter, it was more with a view to investigate the conduct of their ovrn officers than as to the death of the deceased gentleman, and they found nothing, as far as he believed, in the evidence to render it necessary to send to the coroner on the subject. The matter, however, would not be dropped as it at present stood, as a further inquiry by the board of directors was about to -take plane. The CORONER requested that Mr. Pitt would state to the board of directors what had transpired that day, and the position in v.hich he (Mr. Wakley) was placed in reference to the affair.

For some weeks past a large number of men have been employed in the 'enlarge ment of the Camden station, both Englishmen and Irishmen being engaged upon the works in about equal numbers From some cause, at present unexplained, an ill feeling has been generated among them, and although several affrays on a small scale have taken place among some of them, nothing Parlous was anticipated. On tlir &lay the ill feeling among the whole body found vent, and a light of a most terrific nature took place between the English" navigators," as they are termed, and the Irish labourers. Spades, pick-axes, and bludgeons of every description were freely used. One or two policemen of the S division attempted to stop the fight, but in vain. Information was sent to the station-houses in the vicinity for more a=sistance, and a large number of the police were sent. These, however, were insufficient in quelling the riot. The fight hid now lasted upwards of ari hour, and many of the combatants were bleeding profusely from the head and different parts of the body, Oct vicinity of the riot being in the greatest excitement. The police of the section being totall unable to put a stop to the riot, information was sent to the head station in Albany-street, and superintendent Ferguson with his inspectors and a large body of constables went to the spot, but they were unable to suppress it. An other express was sent for the men belonging to the Somers own section, but they at the time were attending the funeral of a deceased comrade. So urgent, however, was the order for their attendance that they were compelled to leave the funeral rites and proceed in vehicles to the scene of the riot. After considerable difficulty the police succeeded in quelling it, and took from fifteen to twenty of the ringleaders into custody; but so desperate did they fight that it took seven constables to convey one of them, who, it was stated, had struck an antagonist on the head with a pickaxe, to the Albany -street station-house. Many of the rioters were. seriously, if not fatally injured, but the confusion was so great that the actual injury could not be ascertained. It was, however, positively stated that two of the ElAglishMell were so frightfully injured as not likely to live through the night, HAMMERSMITH. On Monday having been appointed forthe further examina tion of Mr. Git&ert Kennedy, the surgeon, practising in the Broadway, Hammersmith, and Mr. Archibald his assistant, on a charge of having stolen certain gold chains and other articles of jewellery, the court was crowded in every part by respectable persons anxious to witness the proceedings. The prisoner M'Neill was first examined ,on Monday, the 17111 inst., when evidence to the following effect was gone into. On the 12th of April last (Easter Sunday) an aged widow lady, named Riley, lodging in Mr. Kennedy's house, died, after a short illness. On the afternoon of the same day Miss Church, the executrix, placed the following pro perty, belonging to the decease' lady, in a drawer in the room in which the body was bins;, which was securely locked up, viz., a very massive gold chain, weighing upwards of half a pound, a present from Ferdinand VII., King of Spain, to Mrs. Riley's brother; a pair of bracelets, to cor respond; a Maltese gold chair. ; four gold seals; a gold key, like a lock key; a chased gold ring ; a gold eye-glass; and a gold brooch, &c. On the following Wednesday the articles were found to have been stolen, although the drawer was still locked. Within the last few days the police ascertained that the two chains and a brooch were pledged by Al.'Neillon Easter Monday, and taken out again on the Wednesday, when the robbery was discovered ; and M'Neill, on his examina tion, declaring that he had received them from Mr. Kennedy, for whom he pledged them, and to whom he had returned them, that gentleman was also taken into custody. At 3 o'clock, Mr. Archibald A'Neill surrendered in dis charge of his bail of 4001. to which he was admitted on Friday laSt, and was placed at the bar; as was also Mr. Gilbert Kennedy, who had been brought up from the Westminster Bridewell. On the bench, with Mr. G. Clive, the sitting Magistrate, was the Earl Cadogan, in whose establishment Mr. Kennedy had formerly been domestic surgeon; and iralie body of the court we noticed Dr. Quin, Mr. Levies of Great George street, surgeon to the Westminster Bridewell, Mr. Boone of New Bond-street, and other friends of Mr. Kennedy. Mr. T. Alley Jones, solicitor, of Hammersmith, attended on the part of the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleep and Mr. Nob ler as solicitors for Mr. Kennedy. Mr. M‘Neill was unde fended. Mr. Jones requested, as the case for the prosecution had only been placed in his hands that morning, that the evia deuce taken at the previous examinations might be read over by the clerk. His object in making that request was, that he had heard from a gentleman who was present on both occasions, that there was some difference between the evidence given Ly the same witnesses on the Monday and on the Tuesday. Mr. CLIVE said no depositions had yet been taken in the case, but only the minutes entered, sufficient to warrant a remand. Those, however, should be read. Mr. Fletcher, 'chief clei:k, then read the evidence of Miss Church, the executrix, Amelia Eyles, the charwoman at tending Mrs. Riley at her demise, Mrs. Upham, who was employed, by the prisoner M'Neill to fetch the chains, &c., out of pledge, Henrietta Mills, Mr. Kennedy's servant, Sergeant Mount, T 29, and Spurring, T 112, and also the stakern.teenuitvirdtielebnyasskle‘NdeAililr.bejtobirieestliifehnelagwiastsrpartee.pared with any fresh evidence in the case? Mr. Jones said he was, but ha had just understood that Sergeant Mount, who had the case in hand, was at that moment engaged at the Central Criminal Court; and as that officer had in his possessicin certain letters, a copy of one of which had been found in Mr. Kennedy's house, the produc duction of which was of great importance, he had to apily for the postponement of the examination for two or three days. Mr. nobler, on the part of Mr. Kennedy, said he had noticed that in the evidence of Sergeant Mount it was stated that certain duplicates of gold watches had been found in Mr. Kennedy's room. He wished to know in what name those articles had been pledged? Mr. Fletcher said, it Was not stated in the minutes of :vidence take% LIST 01' SCOTTISH CO Name of Company. Dividend per Annum.
