NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, OCT. 17. Letters from Beyront of the 29th September announce that in the event of the Druses manifesting further op position to the Sultan's orders, the Seraskiur, who hes placed himself at tne head of 15,000 men, had resolved to attack them. This extreme measure would not, however, be resorted to until the great caravan, loaded wkla provisions for the pilgrims of Mecca, had attained a pesi:ion of safety from the attack of the Druies, who would not hesitate to pillage it if hostilities had com menced- At present they have retired to the moat in accessible parts of the Haouran. In the meantime the Seraskier has ordered several of the Druses to his camp, and, as some have obeyed, the spilling of blood may yet be avoided. An English Schooner, the Arundel, Gare master, from Alexandria to Cork or Falmouth for orders, and laden wida wheat, is a wreck between the Munsicar shoal and Marssasciroeco; crew saved, and mach of the cargo will be recovered. fiord Frederick Fitzclarence, who reached Malta by the Caradoc, on the evening of the 13th inst., will re main some days, owing to the illness of his daughter. The return of the fleet is expected about the 29th inst. Some speak positively as to the day, but I doubt their information. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 26. His Grate the Duke of Northumberland, First Lord of the Admiralty; Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, M.P.; and Mr. A. Stafford, M.P., secretary, forming a board, accompanied by Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, 1i.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy; Lieutenant- Colonel Greene, Director of Engineering Works; and Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, R.N., private secretary to the First Lord, and other officials, arrived at this port at seven o'clock last night. Their head-quarters are the George Hotel, where they entertained at dinner Ad- Fral Sir Thomas Briggs, G,C.M.G., the Commander in-Chief, and a select number of officers. This morning it blew a gale; and altogether no body of officials could have risen to a morning's labours under more unpropitious circumstances. Nevertheless, their lordships " buckled to it," and left their hotel for the dockyard at 10 o'clock, after a salute of 19 guns from the Platform battery. The First Lord and all the other naval members of the party wore the full uniforms of their respective ranks. The board first proceeded to the office of the Rear-Admiral Superintendent of the dockyard, were the staff of the establishment were as sembled to receive them ; here they remained transact ing business with the ♦arious officials until 12 o'clock, when tney left for the master shipwright's department, and mustered the whole of the employes of the yard, who were dismissed with the half-holyday usual on such visits. This task of mustering the men occupied until 1.15 p.m., when the Board, notwithstanding the wretched state of the weather, sallied out and went on board the Duke of Wellingt)n, 131, where they remained until past two, when they left her and proceeded through the rain ronnd the dockyard, inspecting the ships on the slips, one of which, we believe (the Royal Frederick, 120, ready for launching), is to be lengthened, it la Windsor Castle, and adapted to screw propulsion. It would be but common prudence and economic foresight if the other three three-deckers, building on adjacent woks to her, were also-to be altered while they are yet in a backward state. The new smithery, the steam factory and basin, and the new works around, also came it for observation, and the board left the dockyard soon after three p.m. for the George Hotel, where they trans acted correspondence, received - visitors, &c., and in the evening gave a sumptuous dinner to the whole of the heads of the naval, marine, and military departments. The First Lord has issued the following notice of his inability to hold a levee at Portsmouth this visit:— " The Duke of Northumberland regrets very much that he will not have it in his power to receive officers during his short visit to Portsmouth, his Grace being compelled to return to London early on Thursday moil ing on public business." By letters from the Cape, we learn that Lieutenant Gordon, cf the Styx, appointed acting-commander of the Hydra, steam-sloop, vice Beigrave, invalided ; and Mk. Wynyard, mate, has been given an acting lieu tenancy, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Oct. 26. OLD COURT. ALLEGED ASSAULT. .Hirtnann Steinthall, a Germen, appat'ently about fifty years old, surrendered to te,ko his trial upon a charge of assaulting Mario .s..olzborg, with intent to commit a felony. In another count the defendant was charged with a common assault. The prosecutrix in this case was a German jewess, and it appeared from her evidence that she was a mar ried woman, and that she kept a cigar shop in Somerset street, Whitechapel. About five o'clock on the evening of the 14th September, the defendant, whom she had known before, went into her shop, and they had some conversation together; after which she told him that she had something to do, and asked him to go away. The defendant went out of the shop, and she proceeded to a back room, which was used as a bed-room, and almost immediately afterwards the defendant entered the room, and, according to her statement, proceeded to assault her in the manner suggested by the indictment. She said, however, that she resisted him successfully, and gave an alarm, and a man named Lowenthall came to her assistance, and the defendant then went away. In cross-examination, the prosecutrix said that she had known Lowenthall for about 12 months, and that he and a woman had lodged with her when she kept a lodging-house, and she said that at that time she went by the name of Olivenstein. She declared, however that Lowenthall had not been in her bed-room when she was in bei, and also said that she could not state whe ther Lowenthall had not been at her shop and conversed with her a short time before the defendant came there. Lowenthall, the person referred to, who it appeared was a Polish jew, was called as a witness to confirm the evidence of the prosecutrix. He stated that he went to the shop accidentally at the time of the occurrence, and on going in he heard a groaning noise, which apparently proceeded from the bed-room. The door was opened almost immediately, and he went into the room and saw the defendant and the prosecutrix, and the former had his clothes disordered and appeared anxious to conceal himself behind the bed. The defendant afterwards tried to leave the room, but he seized him by the collar, and the defendant then took off his eye-glass and offered it to him, but he refused to receive it. He said that he then called for a policeman, but could not find one, and as he had no time to spare, the defendant was allowed to go away.. PLYMOUTH, OCT 26. Her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, 90, flag of Admiral (acirrie, and the Indefatigable, 50, Captain Smart, arrived this afternoon, and were followed in the evening by the Rodney, 90, Clptt, , in Graham. The Indefatigable Will probibly b, paid off here. _ _ 'Liz© brig Kestrel, bought into the service by the late government, was taken itro dock to-day, to be broken up. SHEERNESS, Oar. 26. ti poi being cross-examined he said that he had known the prosecutrix since ho had resided in England, which was about 14 months, and ho was in the habit of fre quently calling at her shop ; and he had done so and conversed with her about half an hour before he dis covered the defendant in the manner he had stated. Upon being pressed by Mr. Clarkson, he appeared very unwilling to admit that when he went into the room the defendant said something about the affair being a " plant" or a trap, and he also said that the eyeglass was left behind by the defendant, but he did not know what became of it. Mr. Clarkson, in his address to the jury for the de fence, said he should not attempt to deny that the do t2ndant had acted very foolishly in the matter, but he submitted that it was clear that what took place in the first instance was with the consent of the prosecutrix, and that what subsequently occurred was the result of a contrivance of the prosecutrix and her friend Lowen thal!, to take advantage of the folly of the defendant, and get money from him by trumping up the present charge, The learned judge having summed up, the jury ira. mediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty, LARGE EMBEZZLEMENT. Arthur Kendall, 26, clerk, pleaded guilty to two in dictments, charging him with embezzling money belong ing to his employers. Mr. Hucldlestone, who appeared for the prosecution, stated to the Court that the prisoner had been engaged in a eonfidential capacity in the establishment of a highly respectable solicitor's firm in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and he had taken advantage of his position to plunder his em ployers to a very great extent. In consideration of his former good character, however, and his respectable con nections, the prosecutors were desirous that the Court should deal as leniently with the prisoner as the justice of the case would admit of. The Recorder inquired to what amount the defalca. tions of the prisoner extended? Mr. Huddlestone said he believed the total amount unaccounted for by the prisoner was 1,5001. Mr. Gray, one of the prosecutors, stated, in answer to a question put by the Recorder, that the manner in which the prisoner had plundered the firm was by mak ing false entries in the banker's book of sums which he should havo paid in, but which ho retained in his pos session. The Recorder inquired whether there was any ground for supposing that the prisoner had been engaged in any betting transactions? Mr. Gray said there was every reason to believe that nearly the whole of the money had been lost in betting upon horse races. The prisoner himself indeed had stated so to him. A GUILTY MOTHER, Emily Mary 11'volt, a ohild it years of ego, was ins cliOted for titoaling two silver spoons, the property of J imes Robert Bouquet, and Hannah Louisa Newell, 37, her mother, was indicted for feloniously receiving the same. The prosecutor resided at No. 16, Somerford•grove, Stoke Newington, and the little girl was employed in his house. The evidence clearly showed that she stole the spoons, and that the mother received them, and raised money upon them, fully knowing that her child had stolen them from her master. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Porcupino, 1, Lieutenant George M. Jackson commanding, arrived yesterday, at 9 ia.ns., from the Isle of Man, and anchored in the harbour. She was designed by Mr. Lang, launched at Deptford in 1844, is 382 tons burden, and has engines of 140-horse power. Her Majssty's brig Sappho, 12, Commander the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, arrived yesterday Forenoon from Spit head, and hove-to at the Nore middle ground. She minted the flag of Vice-Admiral the Hon. Josceline /ecru, C.Bt., Commander-in-Chief, with 17 guns, which was immediatfly returned by the Waterloo with 7 guns. The Sappho then came into harbour and an ;red off the south end of the west shore. She is one of the brigs built from designs of the ox-Suirveyor of the Navy, Sir W. Symonds, and was launched at Wool wich 19 years ago. Her presc•nt commission has ex tended to 3 yesra and 8 months, during which period she has been employed in North America and the West Indies. Her present commander was appointed to her in June, 1851. She is under orders to proceed to Cb:atlaana for the purpose of being dismantled and paid off. WOOLWICH, OCT. 26. It is now upwards of six months ago since it was de cided. as we stated at the time, that the Royal Albert, of 120' guns, building at Woolwich dockyard, should be converted into a screw steam-ship. When the alteration from her original design, by Mr. Lang, master ship wright at this dockyard, as a sailing vessel only, was decided upon, it was intended by the Lords of the Admiralty, and Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, Sur veyor of the Navy, that she should be merely fitted with onstilliary power, and that a pair of the engines in the Government stores ehould bs itte -.lin her. Mr. Lang did not g .first one idea that a magnificent sh-ip, as the Royal Albert mast have proved, being at the time 700 tons larger than any vessel ever built for the Rgoyel Navy, should he converted into a screw steam-ship, and that ship be fitted with old engines, to serve as auxiliaries only, that proposition being made by the authorities with a view to economy. After several con sultations, it was considered that it would be more advae tageous, and more worthy of the splendid vessel to have new engines, and Me sere. John Penn & Son were desired to furnish des'gns of engines of 600-horse power, and an estimate of their cost, which was accordingly done, and it was all but finally decided that they should be put in the Royal Albert. A subsequent knowledge that the French Government ware giving their vessels of the first class engines of the best make and most approved principles, with nearly, if not quite full power, caused the Admiralty to hesitate in their decision as to th e p ower o f the engines of tie Royal Albert, the vessel i n h er present lines being unsuitable Lr engines of anything like the power a rhip of ter magnitude would require to propel her, oven at a moderate rate of speed, through the water. It was, therefore, ultimately agreed that the matter should ho referred to a committee to report on the best means of making the Royal Albert an efficient Screw steam-ship. .The committee have now concluded their labours, and their report has been approved by their Lordships, a s may ba inferred from the following details :—A number of workmen were this morning placed at work on the Royal Albert, to make her wafer-tight up to some dis- Niece above the launch line of immersion, it being in tended to have her ready for launching early in the Ting of 1853. When launched, she is to be taken into tue east dock, next the saw-mills, and will there be lengthened 33 feet, which will give her a capacity of up wards of 4,000 tonnage, rendering her still the largest ship is the Royal Navy, and affording ample room for superior engines of 1,000-horse power. The process of lengthening the vessel would have taken place where she is now buildi ng, but there is not room under the slip for that purpose. The Recorder observed, that he found appended to the depositions a tavern bill of a considerable amount, and he wished to know what it had to do with the case? Mr. Gray said that the bill had reference to a dinner at Dubourg'a Hotel in the Haymarket, at which the prisoner and some of his " sporting" companions were present. Ho was informed, however, that the bill had never been paid, but the magistrate considered that the court ought to be put in possession of the fact. The Recorder then passed sentence upon the prisoner. He said he could not help looking at this case as ono of the very worst possible of this particular class of offence. The prisoner was a man of education, occupying a re sponsible position, and no doubt i❑ the receipt of a good salary, with a prospect of advancement, and yet he had not scrupled to take advantage of tho confidence that was placed him to plunder his employers to a very large amount. It appeared that ho had alopted the practice which had been the ruin of so many persons in a similar position—of betting upon the turf, not for the plea , ure of seeing the horses entered in the race, but merely rendered horse racing subservient to gambling of the very worst description, and there was very little doubt that he had become acquainted and mixed up with the numerous body of blacklegs and swindlers who made such proceedings the means of ob taining a livelihood, and in all probability he had been plundered by them of the greater part, if not the whole, of the large amount of money of which ho had robbed his employers. He had been led into pursuits and habits totally beyond his means, and he observed that he had been present at one entertainment at which the cost to each person was no less than 21. 18s Gd. The system of gambling upon horse races was most pernicious iu its consequences, and he trusted that the legislature would, so far as laid in its power, interfere to check this detest able course of gambling, which was so rapidly extending, especially among the humbler classes, and persons in the position of the prisoner. The learned judge concluded by passing o sentence of transportation for seven years. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) In the case of a person named Thomas, committed by the magistrates for passing bad coin, Mr. Bodkin ap plied to the Court to discharge the recognizances of the witness's on the part of the Crown. The prisoners had been committed by one of the metropolitan magistrates for passing base coin, but on the depositions beint , ex amined by the Att orne y-G enera l , h e considered' that there was nothing to justify a prosecution, and directed the charge to be withdrawn. Mr. Bodkin observed that the fact was of importance, as in some quarters it was considered desirable to leave the decision of such charges to a magistrate, without the intervention of a jury. The prisoner WAS then ordered to be discharged. The whole of the day was occupied in trying prison ers for uttering base coin, of whom there were thirty two in number. Not any of the cases possessed sufficient novelty or interest to warrant a report. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended the girl to mercy. _ Tile prosecutor, who seemed to take a great interest in the child, expressed a hope that she might be removed from her mother. The father was in respectable em ployment, earning 265. a week, and he would take care that she was better brought up for the future. The Assistant Judge concurred in this, and sentenced the girl to ten days' solitary confinement in Westminster Bridewell. In passing sentence on the mother, he said this was not a case fcr transportation, that punishment being more applicable to common or general receivers, but he hoped the sentence he should pass would be an example to others not to train up their offspring in guilt. He ordered her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months. SINGULAR SUICIDE .—Yesterday an taken by Mr W.

Blanche, de scribed as a medical man, residing in Queen's•place, Kennington, was brought before Alderman Lawrence, in the custody of Daniel Forester, the officer, charged with having uttered a forged cheque for 5/, Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Muliens, soli citors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution. The prisoner, it appeared in evidence, went on Satur day evening to Mr. Molineux, of 114, Bishopsgate-street, and asked him to cash the cheque, which seemed to be a cheque upon Spooner and Attwood's banking house. Mr. Molineux not having the money in his possession went with the prisoner to the Flower-pot public•house, next door, and was there accommodated with the change upon putting his own and the prisoner's name on the back of the order. On Monday, Mr. Lewis, the land lord of the Flower-pot, ascertained that the drawer of the cheque was wholly unknown at the bankers, and Daniel Forester, on Monday, went to the landlord's house and found the prisoner there talking to that person and Mr. Molineux about it. Daniel Forester said—l went at half-past four yester day to the Flower-pot, to make inquiries about the cheque. In about twenty minutes Mr. Molineux and the prisoner came in and spoke to the landlord on the subject. I addressed myself to the prisoner, who said, in answer to me, that he had given the cheque to Mr. Molineux, and that he had received it from a Mr. John son after banking hours ; and that Mr. Johnson was a patient of his, and had paid him the cheque in a public house, but where the patient lived he could not tell. The prisoner added that he kept no books ; that the amount of the cheque covered all the pecuniary obligations of the patient to him ; and that be would not say what was the nature of the disease for which he had given his attend ance. When brought to the Mansion-house, where two or three friends were talking with him, he said he had got the cheque from a person of a very different name from that which ho had mentioned to me. Mr. Mullens said that innumerable fictitious cheques were passed upon publicans upon the pre►ence that the banks were closed for the day. The prisoner was remanded. LAMBETH.—Wm. French, a middle-aged, sharp featured man, was placed at the bar on the very complex charge made in the following evidence: Mr. Charles Lucas deposed that he had formerly been a gardener, and at present lodged at No. 3,Wyndham-road, Camberwell. In the month of March last he kept a beer-shop at Norwood, and at that time the prisoner, who was in the habit of frequenting his house, made a proposition to join him in the business of purchasing pigs and horses, with which he said he was well ac quainted, and that witness should find the money and he (prisoner) the judgment. the representations were so flattering that he (witness) had sold out stock in the Bank standing in his name to the amount of 143/. 13s. 10d., and also his goodwill in the beer-shop amounting to 461., and embarked all in the partnership. The prisoner at that time came to live at his house, and soon com menced purchasing pigs and horses, and Mrs. Lucas, who held the money, paid for them, The prisoner also purchased carts and other property, all of which had been taken to his house in Pitt-street, and some time after his wife and the prisoner became so intimate and friendly that they actually turned him out of doors. This was about two months ago, and in some weeks after his wife and the prisoner went away from the place, carrying with them all the property and every shilling's worth of goods in the place, even to his wear ing apparel. After much time spent in discovering them, he traced them to Deptford•lane, where they were living together as man and wife, and all the produce of his property about them. He had also discovered that his wearing apparel had been worn by the prisoner, and he gave him into custody for stealing it from his late residence. Sergeant Godfrey said that, at the request of the last witness, he went to the premises occupied by the pri soner, and there saw in the yard a number of pigs and two horses and two carts, all of which the prisoner claimed as his property. The prosecutor's wife was present at the time. Witness told the prisoner he must consider him his prisoner on a charge of carrying away the property of the prosecutor from his residence. On examining the room in which the prisoner slept, and in which was the prosecutor's wife at the time, he found a pair of trousers and a waistcoat, which the prosecutor identified as his property. The prisoner, when asked what ho had to say to the charge, commenced abusing the prosecutor in the most scurrilous manner. Mr. Elliott (to the constable)—Did you find any money on the prisoner? Sergeunt Godfrey—No, sir, I did not; but after I took him into custody the prosecutor's wife, Mrs. Lucas, slapped her hand against her pocket, and said, " I have taken care of the money." The prosecutor, your wor ship, is very much to be pitied, for he has not a penny to help himself, while his wife and the prisoner have robbed him of every sixpence he possessed. Mr. Elliott (to Godfrey)—You should have taken the money from the wife, for it is quite clear the property was that of her husband. _ _ _ Godfrey—l have no doubt, your worship, I shall be in time to secure the property yet. The prisoner was then remanded, and while locked up in the cells was visited by Mrs. Lucas, who ordered him refreshments in abundance. A VETERAN TAR.—A. veteran of the old school has just died in the Portsmouth workhouse. The deceased's name was William Farker, and his age 76. He entered the naval service in 1795, having been "sent" from the old poorhouse. Portsmouth, on board her Majesty's ship Veteran, Captain Newman, and served in her three years on the West India station ; he subsequently served in the Venerable, 74, Captain Fairfax; London, 98. Captain Otway ; Havannah, 74, Captain Rutherford ; in the Captain, 74, Commodore Nelson ; in Earl St. Vincent's action ; in the Vanguard, 74, Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, at the battle of the Nile ; and in the Victory, 101, Vice-Admiral Viscount Nelson, at the battle of Trafalgar. In the last-named action he was one of the quartermasters at the weather-wheel when his im mortal chief received his death wound. The spoke of the wheel was broken by a shot, which killed the man at the lee side of it, and wounded two others; Farker escaping with a slight wound in the arm. From the Victory he was drafted into the Ocean, 98, Captain Thomas, and from her to the Milford, 74, Captain Bayntur, from which ship he's ran," in consequence of being treated, to use his own language, " more like a wild beast than a man," and went into the American service, where he remained until worn out ; when he returned to his native town, and sought an asylum in the union-house for the remainder of his days. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—One of the most ex traordinary escapes upon record, occurred upon the Bristol and Exeter Railway, daring the past week. A gentleman was awaiting the arrival of the up night mail at the Collumpton station, and to pass away the time ho commenced smoking, whereupon he was requested to go outside the Company's premises. This he did. At length the train arrived, and there being very little to do, it started rather sooner than usual. The guard's whistle, indicating to the engine-driver that all was right, aroused the unfortunate gentleman from the re verie which he was enjoying over his pipe. Rushing across the platform, he made a leap into the space be tween the mail-box and is the adjoining passenger-carri age, imagining, as it supposed, that he could ride to the next station on the connecting chains. Some gen tlemen on the down platform, as well as the porter, saw the immediate danger in which he was placed, and while the former shouted to the driver at the top of their voices, the latter ran forward, and, between them, the driver was induced to stop the train. The station master and other officials at once removed the man from his fearful position. The shock produced by the fright was tremendous. Although, when pacing the platform, ho presented an exceedingly ruddy and jolly appe arance , all colour had left his face when he as extricated, an d the dreadful tremor which was visible in his whol e frame, bespoke the effects of the accident. No bones, however, were broken, an d he was placed in a carriage and proceeded on his journey. We hope this w ill act as i a caution to those perso n s w h o are n the habit of enter ing and leaving railway carri a g es while they are in mo tion. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT IN W . RAYING. —A yo ung woman in one of the Dunfermline factories last week wove 10 cloths in 13i hours. Notwithstanding that as sistance in dressing and mending was rendered by her neighbours, the feat was extraordinary. The web had fifty shots to the inch, 3,375 to the cloth, 33,350 to the whole 10. This sum, divided by 131 hours, gives a quo tient of 2 500 shots flung through the shade every hour, together with the same number of trampings of the treddles, and the same number of strokes of the lay in the same space of tine—making in all 100,000 indepen dent operations in 13i hours. This seems the more wonderful when we cotisider that the pendulum of an eight-day clock, incessant and regular as it is, makes only 48,600 vibrations in the same time.—Fife Herald. A FAILURE OF A "BEAR."—The failure of a young dealer was announced in the Stock Exchange yesterday, consequent upon extensive " bear" speculations in Lan cashire and Yorkshire, Midland, and some of the other heavy railway stocks. This circumstance will account dfoenrroan. Then a b g le r : a a st d ri lt s ihali e ne i i n cat s is o e es f some of these lines late in the after nunderstood defaulter tn are presentre h s e e r m c n o consi derable, said features. GOLD.—The Ganges has arrived off the coast from Sydney with 17,852 ounces of gold, worth about 71,400/. The Lima has also come to hand from Melbourne with a further amount of the precious metal, and dates to tho 12th Juno. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—Oct. 26. (Bolero Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge.) ASSAULT CASE. Charles Jones, 19, was indicted for having unlawfully assaulted Joseph Green, a constable of the Metropolitan Police Farce, in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor, 90 G, stated that about half-past seven o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 16th instant, he was going down Goswell-street-road, when ho saw some thieves whom he knew; one of them said, " Here's a Copper." (It was explained that, in the slang of the swell mobsman the terms " Copper," " Cropper," and " Crusher," are synonymous with "Policeman.") He saw the prisoner close to a lady and two gentlemen, aad the lady said, in the prisoner's hearing, that she bad felt his band in her pocket, and one of the gentlemen said if she gave him in charge he could state that he saw his hand withdrawn from her pCielet. The prisoner was then given in charge, and witness took him by the arm and told him that he knew him, having had him in cus tody before for stealing a watch. The prisoner tried to get away, and in his endeavour to do so, tripped him up. He fell, and whilst he was on the ground the prisoner kicked him. From the further evidence of the officer, it appeared that the prisoner took advantage of an oppor tunity whilst he was on the ground to kick him in that brutal and cowardly manner which unfortunately too often characterises cases of assault on the police. In addition the prisoner got his hand in his neckerchief, and nearly strangled him. Assistance arrived, and at length ho was safely conveyed by three constables to the station house. On searching him a gold guard-chain and purse were found in his pockets. George Tait, 404 A, stated that on the night in ques tion he saw the prisoner is the custody of the last wit ness, and saw the assault committed. He corroborated the whole of tihe prosecutor's statement. The prisoner entered on bis defence in the most im pudent manner. He said, at the outset, that it was on. tirely owing to himself that he was at that bar for trial on this charge, as the magistrate who heard the case would have sent him to prison for a month, had not he, with fkill consciousness of his innocence. asked that be might instead be sent to this court for trial. He should like to know why neither the lady nor the gentleman, who wore said to have been present, wore not produced to bear out the charge, and he should also be glad to know how he could have thrown Green down, for Tait had hold of him the whole of the time. Tait could not have seen the kicking, as there were 50 persons at least there ; and if Green really was kicked, he must have lain himself down on purpose to bo kicked, or he must have fhuaonlldteehnrrodwo all down by accident. Ho submitted to the jury that himthe circumstances d awn. liekicked they could h im onceno t u u believetbe lthatleg certainly, but that was because he had struck him on the face and hurt him dreadfully. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Ho was sen t e nced to 1 2 months' imprisonment with hard labour. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. From the London New Price Current of Oct 26.

After the lapse of a few weeks, being anxious to supply its place by a new purchase, he was attracted by an advertisement o " a splendid young animal for sale," and after due inspection became the purchaser at 401. His new bargain, on being brought home exhibited a very sagacious acquaintance with every nook and corner of the stable, selecting of his own accord the stall lately vacated, and, after a mi nute examination by the groom, the well•conditioned, sleek, high-spirited animal before them was dieeovered to be the same wretched creature they had so recently disposed of, the astonishing improvement having been effected by a judicious use of some celebrated condition powders now in great repute. The owner, although he at first had to endure the laugh of his friends for being duped, now expresses his satisfaction, although the al teration which another effected at a fow shillings e x-' palm has cost him alloy Ruud& COUNTRY MARKETS IPS W WIZ OCT. 26.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—T he harvest in this neighbourh oo d b e i ng now complete"); finished, we wait upon you with the following result of our enquiries :—The wheat plant was peculit rly favoured in every stage ; a fine seed time —a dry heatiny spripg —followed by refreshing showers in June, prepared di e land for the sunny weather of July and August. DI flowering season was also very good, and bring followe will fine ripening weather, the crop was almost who secured in good condition, and we have little hesitati on in recording it as one of the best known for Yet lfe ,_ throughout this district, the yield to the acre being gr e ?" and quality almost universally good; there are a few 'I I. stances of blight, but nothing to affect the general o b s ratter of the crop. Barley is less sown (very year wi t : . us, and the quality proves various; Tory little fil l ' e Oats yield well, and are good in quality, though 10 1 0 quantity suffered from wet weather. Beans are lA, good crop, but peas (especially blue) are good both 1t quality and quantity. Potatoes are very bad; we elfn e , think worse than in 1846, but certainly worse than oe t f t subsequent year, and this deficiency must, in , c) d, opinion, have an effect on the value of all kin of grain—an effect to be felt later on, becou, just now they are rather forced on the n? er n , ket, and aro entering extravagantly into oonsunoptiod With moderate arrivals, and a good consumptive l a c mend, there has been an upward tendency in the 51 ' 0 of most articles during the past week, and altogethe r y s I:1' healthy feeling is perceptibl e .
